This is a good showing for Hector. and his speed has developed with very little training.

It is not an encouraging view, and the matter cannot be dismissed with the off-hand statement that Canadians should be as sharp as the Americans and buy up the space themselves, for the Canadians have not the great capital and the great hoards of cztttle possessed by the Amer- icans, and. in bidding for space. the contest is necessarily unequal. Ifthe Canadian steamship companies cannot be relied upon to give Canadians a chance, it is worth while considering: if the Government cannot devise some plan to remedy the evil. 'Canada cannot coutinue subsidizing steamers and im- proving harbors to benefit Americans at the expense of our own people.â€"â€" Toron- to Star. -~o ‘0 A Disinfected Englishman. An Englishman returning from Bom- bay thronzh Italy has had a hard time of it. The Italian authorities wore in- tcnsely altrmcd lest he had brought the bubonic plague along with him. At first they refused to let him land at all, but finally permitted him to do so on condition that he submit to a dreadfully thoroth course of disinfection and would promise to continue his journey in a private car into which he and his baggage should be carefully scaled. To this he consented, and in his prison on engine and the baunage car, he started for the north. At Undine thc formali- ties ofi spection and fumigation were anain carried out. At Verona the pro« cess was repeated, and then Milan’s officials tried their hands at the work before sending: him on toward the Swiss frontier. There they were still more cautious, for they refused to let. him enter the republic on any terms what- ever. So back to Milan he was taken, still in the sealed car. Flore the farc‘ ended, for after a fifth examination and disinfection the man was released and permitted to go where and as he chose. During all this time the traveller kept his temper under control and his ident- ity concealed. -â€"r.-o Bob Ineersoll’s Fatal Lecture.

A stuffed leopard recently killed a man in Paris. The animal had been the pet of an eccentric old lady, who had it stuffed when it died. The job was not well done, and the leopard be came so offensive that the servant was told to get rid of it. She threw it out of the window, when it landed on the head of a clerk paving through the street, who was so frightened that he died at once of apoploxy. The Rev. Mr. Chall'ers has been pro- hibited from bringing suits in English eonrts. without first obtainingr the per- mission of a Judne, by the Court of Ap- peals.

On a farm near North Branch. Minn, Mr. and Mrs. John Bonniman and two crown-up sons met instant death on the 12th inst. in a peculiar manner. It is the custom among the farmers in the vicinity to store their potato crops in pits in the ground. The Bonnimans are well-to-do farmers, anti their pit was unusually large. On February 9th Mr. Bonniman built a fire in the pit, as he feared the frost would penetrate it, and on the 12th he went down to exam ine the place. Upon entering the pit he was overcome by fire damp and be- came unconscious. The other members of the family. not realizingr what was the matter. entered the pit one after an- other, and all met their death. . ..__ s___._‘__._.._a.. 7.- DIARRIED.
