Montreal, Feb. 11._In order to re- lieve any apprehensions that may ex- isl as to the effects upon the coal Supply of the temporary embargo at present placed upon imperishable freight entering Canada from the Niagara frontier, the following state- nent was issued by the general sup- erintendent of transpagiasion, D. Crombie: i' "You oan reassure the public as to any fear of a coal famine so far as! railrcad movement is concerned. The Grand Trunk has been accepting and promptly forwarding frpm the Nia- gara frontier an average of about 700 cars per day since the first of January. This is thirty per cent. more than last year, and it is not probable that any shortage could occur., The embargo is only upon the loading of ceal and is not intend- ed to hinder its movement but rath- er to further its prompt forwarding by preventing the possibility of con- gestion, It is to Kk » onr system open so that every cngine ean be used freely and fully that the action has been taken. awd unless some- thing unforseen occurs the embargo will be, raised by Monday next. The situation is quite clearly smmmed up by. I. W. Gantt, assistant general freight agent at Buffalo, who says» "The trouble cannot Ue justly blamed on the G.T.R. The amount of ordi- nary freight passing through Black Rock has increased by leaps and bounds, and though we have increas- ed our facilities here as rapidly asl possible, the increased traffic has got) a little ahead of us. The embargo does not affect freight now en route but merely future shipments. All vars now on the way east will be de- livered shortly." TIDINGS FROM ODESSA.

'NO 'LONGER OWN B00KS. Public Libraries Have Done Away Completely With Old-time Custom. While 11+ last decade has witnessed a: extraordinary growth in the num- ber of public libraries throughout the ¥ ies that these libraries confer many benefits are po such' unmitigated bless. ings as many would have us believe, argues a western publication. In the first place they are undermining the good old hahit of owning books. Not, of course. among the well-to-do: but the well-to-do make relatively small use of public libraries. The usual plea is that most people cannot afford to buy books. This is flatly untrue. the fact is that the ubiquitous library has killed the demand in this country for editions of standard books at really popular prices. In France splendid iterature volumes are sold at a uni- form rate of 25 centimes (four and a half cents.) In this edition one can buy Homer complete for 27 oents, Miiton's Paradise Lost for 9, Descar- tes' Discourse 6n Method for 4 1.2, and the works of over 100 other auth- ors at corresponding rates.

It will be mews to most persons that the French navy has no chap- lads afloat, although a moment's eon. sideration: would bring to remem- brance the fact of the complete di- vorce between church and state in France. The subject is brought prominently into notice by a petition sign by a great number of the mothers or widows of the sailors who were victims of the accident on the Gloire or the Liberte. The petitioners are to be. found in the Midi, Brit- tany, Var and Finistrre, and they pray the Senate for the reappoint. ment of chaplains on warships. -- London Globe, It is useless, dangerous and un necessary to be tortured with the digging, twisting pains of backache and rheumatism, or suffer with dis agreeable kidney and bladder dis- orders any longer. - The new discovery, Croxone, pro- vides a remedy which every sufierer can 'now depend upon to promptly and surely relieve all such misery and bring about a speedy cure Croxone cures these troubles cause it quickly overcomes the eayse of the disease.

A young .aan who had a strong lik- ing for poetry, but a rather mediocre talent for writing it, deluded himself into the belief that the world was de- termined to keep him down.

"Like the rest of the world," he said, "you don't understand me. But I can afford to laugh at present neg- lect, for I'm writing for posterity." "Oh, I understand you now," re. plied the girl.

A curious custom connected with the Bervian army is the manner in which mest of the regiments carry 1 » big drum. It is not, as in most countries, slung in front of the man who plays it, but is placed upon a small two wheeled cart drawn by a large dog. which has been so trained that it keeps its place even through the _ longest and most tedious marches. The drummer takes up a position behind the cart and performs on the instrument as it moves along. Answers. A Bride on the Minute. It was a most ludicrous mistake. to take piace till the day after.
