No immediate action is expected regarding the retirement of the of- ficers at the Portsmouth penitentiary who ve received notice from the Civil Service Commission that they come within the operation of the age limitations of the Penitentiaries' Act. | The officials concerned have until March 31st to look for "other em- ployment and they will receive a gratunity. The Civil Service Commis~ sion, it is stated, is acting indepen- dent of the superintendent of peni- tentiaries and of the Minister of Justice, and, pparently merely looked over the list of officials and picked out the names of all who in the record were past sixty years of age. Each man received a letter in- | forming him that he must either re- | sign OF be retired. Those on the cle- rical 'staff claim that sixty-five years is the age limit In their case. Some who manifestly come within the op- | eration of the age limit have not yet | plained that this is not due to any | the required qualifications can be secured. No man is to be retained who Is over gixty years of age and, in fu- | ture, it is asserted, none will be ap- | pointed who are over thirty-five | years who have not already had se- | veral years' prison experience, and in {appointments to the police staff | birth certificates or other verifica- | tion of statements as to age will be | required. By the appointment of { young men the Government not only | Secures the best physical standard | but gets the longest period of service after training a man for his duties. The Civil Service Commission is de- termined to put its ideas into practi cal effect. I NO REVERENCE FOR RIVERS LIKE THE PAGANS HAD, SAYS PROF.

The comparison of the ancient poetical worship of the rivers and the present-day lack of appreciation of their importance in the making of our country, gave him scope for. his 'rich, satirical humor, which ran through his lamen- | tation of our worship of Mammon. His barbs were all sharpened eapect- | ally for to-day's society, "so stupified | by greed of gain that divinest things | never get through our thick skulls."

We take very good care not to throw our coing into our rivers. Om the contrary, we coin them into millions of dollars in the jsnape of the electric power we get out of them. We have, for instance, in the Montmorency Falls, one of the noblest exhibitions in the world of J the beauty and majesty of what those | poor benighted heathens in their | blindness would have ealled the River Gods. There was no temple there, when I saw it last, or rather there was a hideous red brick bulld- ing, thrusting itself upon the eye and making no attempt to retire into de- cent concealment among the trees-- @ bare-faced temple leering at the fall of a very real and present God of ours, namely Mammon. There is a hostelry, too, as there was by the Clitumnus, where one can get a cup of tea, and a sort of menagerie where they keep a measiey polar bear as an advertisement for one of the Quebec fur stores; finally, to complete the gaiety of the scene and express our cheerful gratitude to heaven for its beauty a merry-go-round. "All that is thoroughly character istic of the way in which we regard our rivers----the greatest in the world. They are not ours--it would be truer to say that we are theirs, for they have made our country in the past. These sons and daughters James Bews, manager of the rink, stated on Tuesday morning that the attendance was about the same at the Kingston-Queen's game. GENERAL HOSPITAL GOVERNORS ---- : s The Institution Is Fuall--Generil Scheme of Improvements. The board of governors of the Kingston General Hospital met on Monday afternoon. The committee of management's report mentfoned the extensive general improvement scheme that had been pretty thor. oughly carried out in the way of painting, varnishing and decorating the wards and moms and how clean and attractive all parts of the hos pital now looked. The visiting gov- ernors in their report also alluded to this and stated that of all the visits they had made to the hospital they could not remember any time when everything appeared so thoroughly in good shape as at present, The names of three new governors were brought before the meeting and approved, namely, 8S. Calvin, H. Milne and . M. Linton. The hospital is now very full, and at this Season of the year the neces- sity for increased accommodation is very keenly felt, The appointment of visiting gov- ernors for this month was left with the committee of management.
