Sald Emerson: "Consider what you have in the smallest chosen 1ib- | rary. A company ofthe wisest and | wittiest men that could be picked | out of all the civil countries in a| thousand years have set in best ord- er the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impat- fent of interruption, fenced by eti-| quette; but the thought which they did not wncover to their bosom | triend is here written out in trans-| parent words to us, the strangers of | another age." . Great Expectations, Hawkins was a greedy, self-seek- ing fellow, who expected to benefit by his rich uncle's death. The latter had mot failed to observe the nep- hew's character, however, and when on his deathbed he sent for Hawkins. "I haven't forgot you, George," he sajd; "got you down in my will." At the funeral Hawkins invested in an expensive wreath and attended to hear the will read. "To my dear nephew George," ran the document, "I leave an illustrat- ed edition of Dickens' 'Great Expec- tations.' " . Sometimes the man asks for a hand-out, and then grumbles because it is not a full meal. THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG GRAIN MARKETS. i Montreal.

None too soon, the Canadian Gov- ernment has decided to preserve some of the remaining herds of cari- bou, the barren-groumd reindeer of the Arctic. Baffinland has been cho- sen for the reservation, where the caribou will be able to roam uares- tricted and to multiply. Less thar 30 years ago there were vast numbers of caribou in Northern Alaska, but by the cupidity of the trader and the ignorance of the Eski- mo they were destroyed, as the buf- falo was destroyed in the Western States of America. There is scarcely anything manufactured which can equal caribou skin as an article of clothing, and the meat is still more valuable, being very rich in fat in the fall of the year. varnish is equal to it! can have the same Elliott Bros., Is Your Firm Protected?
