A plea for more conservative regu- lation of railroads, to give them a chases to make some money and thereby be able to give better service is contained in a resolution adopted by the directors of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association.

Arthur Heming is known to a good | many readers, not only as an illustra tor, but as a writer -- of stories and one. . It was while he was wintering with Wm. Henry Howe, the cattle painter, at Bronxville, N.Y. that Hemi conceived the notion tha: he woul like to write the story of how the! Ojibways pul in their queer, weird | lives from one winter to the next. This, of course, would mean a fresh winter trip to the north. He took » train down to the city, and went to The Outlook. Not knowing the name of the art editor or the heads of any departments, he asked the elevator msn. Introducing himself to the head of the art department; he told him what he intgnded to do. 'But what do you expect us to do?" was the question. "Write me an advance check fof a shousand dollars, give me the serial rights on my stuff and I'll go north and get you material for the book." This radical suggestion was convey- ed to the chief, who, after listening to the much-in-earnest delivery of the Canadain artist, took him at his word, wrote the check and gave him the assignment. From there Heming went to anoth- er magezine which had already hand led a series of his drawings for Fras- er's "Sa'zada Tales." Tq the editor of that he proposed to sell the serial ts of the same thing. The offer was accepted. Immediately Heming hied himself to an outfitter's empor- ium and made a deal for § complete camp outfit of most elegant propor- tions cluding everything a man can possibly lug into the wilderness and use to advantage. At another store he got a Mauser rifle and a hundred rounds of ammunition. . Thus equipped, the trailsman hit out for the far north. He was gone all winter. He got his material. He came to civilizations and just before he started for England to study with Brangwyn he conceived the idea of throwing the whole thing into the form of short stories which could be combined to make the book. Hence came the book "Spirit Lake," which was made nearly twenty years after Heming had gone his first snow- shoe trip in the north from Mattawa to Temiskaming; and he sold the serial rights of "Spirit Lake" in four separate countries, England, France, the United States and . has studied that pilch their camps between Mont- real and.

Stead's Prodiction 4 Br. Gold | win Smith. It was at Toronto and to the late De. Goldwin Bmith, in the course of a memorable interview at the Grange that William T. Stead, the noted Eng- lish editor, who was numbered among those who went down with the ill fated Titanie, decreed the manner ol | his death, The conference took place on the occasion of Mr. Stead's last visit tc this city some six years ago. Dr. and | Mrs. Goldwin Smith had invited the well-known journalist and his cousin, Mr. E. J. B. Duncan,» of the legal firm of Preudioot, Duncan, Grant & Bkeans, to a typical English after. noon tea, served in the guaint and Hehly stocked library at Grange. Smith and Stead had known one an- Other for years and in a couple of hours of illuminating conversation the two men -- both of world-wide note -- discussed world figures and world events with a rare and inti- mate knowledge. The veteran phil osopher sat in his arm chair by the cheery and typically English fire side; the younger publicist paced the floor with almost nervous energy as he spoke. Dr. Bmith finally raised his hand in protest. The constant dynamic activity of the visitor drew forth a physician's warning, "Have no fear, doctor," quoth Btead with characteristic directness. "There has come to me the assurance that I shall live every moment of my days. 1 shall be wiped out at the end--sometimes it is borne upon me that I shall be kicked and beaten to death by a mob on the streets of old London, -at other times I seem to realize my end as one of the victims in a great disaster which will wipe out bundreds." x idea," was Dr. Goldwin Bmith's quiet and only comment. "1 shall know when the end comes. Till then I have my work to do," replied the fatalist. versation pr s How Times Have Changed! In these days of elections and rum. ors of elections it is inetesting so glance back to the time when re wasn't so much election machinery in Oanada. For instance, on March 29, 1868, The Victoria Colonist had the following account of the election pro- ceedings as Esquimalt: At 12 o'clock yesterday the return. ing officer, Sheriff Naylor, proceeded to the election of a member to repre- sent the town of Esquimalt in the assembly. There were about fifty per- sons nt in front of the Royal Sak Hotel. After the usual liminaries, the returning officer upon the electors to nominate their candidates, whereupon W. Sellick, Esq., nominat ed Thomas Harris, Esq., as a fit and Tr person to resent the town uimalt. F. Williams, Esq., se- the nomination with a few a propriate remarks. No' other candi- dates being pr , the returning officers declared Thomas Harris, Esq., duly elected a member of the assem- bly, which announcement was receiv- od with cheers. The member-elect then mounted the platform and addressed the electors, himself to further the inter ests of his constituents in particular, and the colony in general. He also as- sured the electors that whenever there was any public question raised, in any way affecting their interests, he would call 'them together and take their views upon it in order to fully represent them in the islature. His remarks did not oceupy in the delivery more than ten minues, but were warmly zeceived, anding in loud of A Canadian Invention.

Kyle, of No. 4042 Clarendon avenue, found her lost pearl and diamond earrings, but she had to eall on her subconscious mind in sleep to do it. The gems disappeared several days ago. Every member of the household including the maid, went over the house again and again, searching gvery nook from drawimg room to re- frigerator. "Well, I'l just have to dream it out," said Mrs. Kyle. She half feared the dream would be of burglars, but it turned out to be about her bath robe pockets, of which none of the four searchers had thought. On awakening in the morning, Mrs. Kyle recalled the dream, which had been vivid, She wen! stright to the bath robe, and there in one of the pockeis were the jewels, valued sou venirs of a journey in Europe.

Ihe iron in him would make four ten- penny nails, His fat would make se venty-five candles, and a good-sized cake of soap. His phosphate content would make 5064 boxes of matches. There is enough hydrogen in him in combination to ll a balloon and carry him shove the clouds. The re maining constituents would yield six teaspoonfuls of salt, a bowl of sugar and ten gallons of water, The foregoing analysis, is made by the Practical Druggist, which adds that a man has 500 muscles, about 1,000,000,000 cells, 200 bones, four gaMons of blood, several hundred feet of arteries and veins, more than twen- ty-five feet of intestines, and millions of pores.

What was he going to say next ! That sort of thing is exciting. So are the obvi ously particular references to which one has fio clue, such as an allusion to an affliction which happened at half-past ten last might and has not yet had time pa generally known. Episodes like the latter have power to stir a whole congregation and set signaling one another all over the church. "Do vou know what he meant ¥" "No." "Dear me!
