Writing from Liverpr on J use 13, he points out that while good United States bollocks from two to four years old, weighing from 1,300 to 1,550 pounds average, have been sold in Liverpool at from $3 85 to $4.25 per hundred live weight, Canadian shipping cat- tle were at the same time being bought from $4 50 to $5 per hundred; and he adds, “I am sorry to say the Canadians were not so good a sample.” How, it may be asked, can this inequali exist! Simply because Canadians, by air clean hi1 of health and the inestimable privilege they enjoy of free access for live cattle into Brit- ish markets, realise from one halfpeuuy to three farthlngs per prund more than Unit- ed States exporters, and these low prices for United States stock are likely to be maintain- ed, and this is especially felt during the Canadian shippin season, fromthe beginning of May to the on of August. But by their system of early maturity United States broaden and feeders can build up a twcyear- old steer to weigh 1,350 pounds, living weight, and when slaughtered produce or turn out 734 pounds of beef, the very weights sought after in every part of Great Britain, and not only wanted in preference to lar er carcases, but sold at a slight advance. 0 Canadians, then, Alderman h‘ranklaud ad- dresses this pertinent query :-â€"Why not follow the United Statee’sxampleâ€"why keep your animals longer than necessary ifb care and attention you can save twelve an even twenty months’ feed! Until this is done Canadians will, he thinks, fail to do their best in British markets, and fall to find the ful profit to which the quality of their fat cattle and the immunity of their herds from disease should entitle them. ____._..â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€" British Investors in the U. S. British capitalists have been investing their money in the most wholesale manner of late in the United States. Twenty-seven millions sterling are said to have gone into breweries alone; large sums have been ex- pended on floor mills, and an immense pur- chase cf dry goods houses is now proposed. In the midst of the flow of wealth into the Republic comes a note of warning to the capitalists who are thus pouring their money into a country which is anythin but friend- ly to Britain, and of whose di ering State eager for a story, "but just where to be- gin is a puzzler.’ 9..." Let me see. did I ever tell you about that thunder storm we had away down in the tropics! No! Then just wait a min- ute till I fill my pipe, and 1 ll heave ahead." “A long time ago, I shipped as an crdin ary seaman aboard a large Nova Scotia bartu called the Sulitehna. She was lum- ber-laden and was bound from Victoria. B C., to Cape Town, South Africa. We had a plum pudding voyage till we arrived in about 30 degrees South Latitude and there is where I had my first experience with a storm at sea. “One fine morning we passed within sight of Pitcairn's Island and had lovely weather all day, but when I relieved the lookout at eight bells (midnight) I knew there would soon be a decided change. Far away astern the horizon was shrouded by one solid cloud whose blackness was enough to make one shiver, and once in a while I could see a faint glimmer flash through it and shortly after I could hear a growling, such as old Carlo makes when he tries to get away with his rations. “ We were carrying considerable canvas and altogether I did not like the looks of things. I knew that my position on the topgallant forecastle was not to be envied when there was lightning to be contended with. “In a remarkably short space of time that cloud was directly over us, but, to my surprise, there was no more thunder or lightning and I was just about to cor gratu- late myself when there was a sudden “change in the things that we loved, Ben Bolt,” for at that instant everything which I could have seen in broad daylight stood out with startling distincbness. Apparently beautiful ballot electricity had allghted Thestcnes arelcngandaresetoneud. theup surface being much smaller then our Bel It: blocks. Under these stones is a heavy d. of gravel and stone, the whole pavement be» ing about eighteen inches in thickness. The wooden pavements are also formed of much smaller blocks than those tried inNew York. But the most extensively used pavement in London is that of concrete. I saw one torn up for repairs a day or two ago, and had an opportunity to discover how it was built. First a foundation of stone is laid down in good substantial blocks. That is covered with tar and gravel, and upon this are set blocksofwoodonend,tightlypreasedtogether. Over these, cementing them together, and when rolled smooth, forming the surface of the street, is put on the concrete. The entire pavement is over two feet thick, and is as solid as natural rock. It is as smooth as a billiard table and over it the heavy vehicles of all kinds used in London roll smoothly and easily. One never sees a team of horses vain- ly strug lingtc pull a heavy load out of a hole in t can streets. The stream of vehicles moves always smoothly and steadily onward, save when checked by the silent majesty of the inexorable English law re resented by the extended arms of an insigu‘ cant London “ bobby." ‘ â€"â€"_â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"_ where They Bear Girls in Cases. In the report of United States C onsuf Griffin, stationed at Sydney, the consul tells of a remarkable custom of the inhabitants of New Britain, as follows: “ The inhabit- ants, it is said by Wallace, have a peculiar custom of confining their iris in cages until they are old enough to e married. The custom is said to be peculiar to the people of I New Britain. The cages are made of twigs of the palm tree, and the girls are put into them when only two or three years of age. The Rev. George Brown established a Wesleyan mission in New Britain in 1876, and I learn from him that these cages are built inside of the houses, and that the girls are never to leave the house under any circumstances. The houses are close} fenced in with a sort of wickerwor made of reeds. Ventilation under the circumstances is rendered very difficult. The girls are said to grow up strong and healthful in spite of these disadvantages.” â€"â€"â€"â€"-eâ€"â€"â€" h d t th G h h w h. fig,it on k was heard the were off M hard yard escaped being snapped in two. laws and State rights they have little know- They Yegrn for Each other, I tgnpgggago Diana, gzszfigznooztrolagf [age as they Zould go.

There is a good deal of wailing and gnash- ing of teeth in the United States among the Blaine Republicans over the fact that Russell Harrison, the President’s son, has had some honor paid him in England. A recent despatch to the New York “Tribune” said: "The presence of President Harrison’s son in Lon- on has been recognized in a marked way by the royalties. He is treated as a kind of American heir-apparent." Young Mr. Hat risen, it seems, dined with the Queen, Lord Salisbury. and a number of English notables, and the Republican Anglophobes across the line are wild with r o. This is not sure prising in view of the act that twisting of the British lion's tail was one of the processes by which the Republican victory last fall was won. According to a report of the Commission- ers in Lunacy recently presented to the British Parliament there were in England and Vi ales on the 1st of last January 84,340 luuatics, being an increase of 1,697 on the number returned in the previous year. Of the whole number 7,970 were returned as lunatics of the private class, 75,632 as paup ers, and 738 as criminals. Tue increase is nearly 300 in excess of the average increase for the proceeding ten years. Speaking of this fact the “Times” says :â€"- “It is not to say how far this increase is due to a pos tivo increase of lunacy throughout the country, and how far it is due to the admis- sion into licensed establishments of cases reviously existing but not previously rou ht under the supervision of the Com- mlss oners." In the State of New Jersey it seems that children oaube seized on account of their ts’ debt, and there was a case of it in enton. Four children, of four, six, eight and ten years of age respectively, were de- serted by their parents, and while the neighbors were debating what ought to be done, a woman appeared on the scene and announced that as the parents had bor- rowed 835 from her and had dccamped with- out paying her, she meant to hold the child- ren as hostages for the recovery of the debt, and if the parents ever turned up again they would require to pay the loan before she would give up the children. This extraor- d claim was apparently recognized as lawf by the overseer of the poor, who in- duced her finally to let the children go for $30. If there is any such law as this on the New Jersey statute book then the sooner it is expunged the better for the credit of that commonwealth. ing went on, but the smoke hung so thick around us that we could see little. There was nothing but firing and shouting on all sides. Sometimes when the smoke lifted We could see fighting all around us, sometimes in front or to our right and left, where we could see the cavalry charging each other. Then a lot of horses would some flying across the field in all directions, nelghing and kicking wildly. Their riders were gone; they had been shot out of the saddles and the horses were galloping madly away to escape. There was an English regiment near us and I remember seeing the French charge at them. As soon as ever they would appear the English would yell : ‘ Eug- laud forever 1’ Here they would get at them land then they cheered, fired away, ani oil would go the French. " Sometimes we lay on the ground doing nothing. We could scarcely see twenty yards ahead of us for smoke, but then we would know something was coming. We shouted and fired straight at them, and away they went and were gone in the smoke as sin. But they would soon turn, and back they would come again. And so it went on all the time. I was not frightened: Iwas too excited for anything.

Pretty soon it began to rain or rather pour in a most violent manner. Suddenly there was a flash more brilliant than the others ; then a crash which seemed to tear my cars from my head, while from the iron-work in my vicinity there suddenly sprang a solid sheet of flame which extended at least sixty feet ahead of the ship. I fell senseless to the deck, where I lay for about two minutes totally unconscious. When I recovered I thought I was overboard, and immediately began to swim, but soon discovered my mis- take, and found there were eight inches of water on the sloping deck.

What Steam has Done- A very interestin calculation has recent- ly been made by t 0 Statistical Bureau in Berlin. Fourfifths of the ower machines at present in activity in t e world have been erected during the past twentyfive years. The country which possesses the highest amount of horse war is the United States, with 7,500,000 one power; then follow England, with 7,000,000; Germany with 4.500.000: France, with 3,000,000, and Austro-Hungary, with 1,500,000. These figures do not include locomotives, of which there are 105,000 at work, with a total horse power of 3,000,000. Thus the total horse power in the world is 46,000,000. A steam “horse power" is equivalent to three actual horses' strength, and each liv- ing horse represents the strength of seven men. Thus the total horse power of the entire world represents the work of 1,000,- 000,000 men, or more than twice the total working population of the earth. Steam has thus tripled the entire human work power of the earth. “ He Got There Just the Same.” “ Edith '5" - “ Yes, Tom 2" “1â€"1 haves very important question to ask you.

He is not a beast us- ually selected for the chase, but affords a certain amount of fun when nothing better is to be had. Many a sportsman, when dis- a polntedln finding boar, has had a run terahyena. These beasts do not go at any great or charge like a brave old boar, yet ey are not easy to spear, by rea- son of the quickness with which they turn and twist. The animal has just turned shag at right angles, and thrown out o man who is about to spear him, letting another cut in, while the horse of a third, putting his foot in a hole, comes down, and then, getting rid of his rid- er continues the chase on his own account, biting and striking at the hyena, which . makes no attempt to resent this stran e on. slaughr. We observe that Mr. cray Brown. in his excellent book. “Shiksr Sketches," mentions a similar incident. But doubles and turns can not always save the hyena :at last a welldlrected spear-thrust ends his career on earth and finishes the dificult pursuit. “ What is your question, Tom 2" " I-â€"- Iâ€"well, the fact of it is, my name is going to be printed in the local paper soonâ€"in the local paper, down next to the advertisements, don’t you know ; and I was wondering whether it would be all alone among the deaths or with yours among the marriages 2" "Oh, 'I‘cm i ain't you onto 2" Ambition Foiled.
