“'tth five delightful stories in the August Cosmopolitan, one might iudge that it was in. ‘ended solely for light reading in mid-summer; m: a second glance shows that it contains as well much of serious interest. The second paper by the special commissioner sent by the Cosmopolitan to India tells a tale, the like of which has never before appeared in any period- real. We have in histories second-hand ac- counts of great (amines, but they lack that startling distinctness which comes from be- : ~holding at first hand the sights described. 1 Twenty millions of people slowly starving to death, many of them in sight of the railways ! No American can form any idea of the state of affairs, now existing in India. Mr. Ilawthom has gone into the interior and stood amongst the dead and dying. The report will open the eyes not only of the civilized world, but of the English Parliament and the Queen herself to the necessity of extraordinary exertion in be- half of these unfortunate millions President Dwight, of Yale, furnishes this month’s con- sideration of the question, “Does Modem College Education Educate in the Broadest and Most Liberal Sense of the Term ?” A charmingly illustrated and charmingly written article on “Japan’s Stage and Greatest Actor,” by Robert P.

If appearances count for anything he is a richer man by 20 pounds avoirdu'nois and a big sur- plus of vitality, a. treasure of the west that many a man woald seek before the gold and prize it more. Going by way of American roads and coming back by the C.P.R , Mr. Taylor covered about 6,000 miles, passing through some of the finest agricultural, mining and forest land in the world. ”With an eye to Easiness as well as pleasure, he inspected at ‘ number of the mines being worked in the gold ‘regions and obtained an intimate knowledge of the methods and prospects of the industry in that part of the globe. Of the wealth in Bri- tish Columbia, Mr. Taylor speaks with parti- cular confidence, and is convinced that only capital sufficient to carry on exhaustiVe opera- tions is required to make that the greatest gold-producer in the world . â€".\Iinden public and model school has made ‘an excellent showing this year, having pJSSCi ‘lseven out of eight entrance pupils ard also one ‘for public school leaving.

Aboutthree o'clock on Monday morn- ing an alarm was sounded for a firp in the Keenan block on the south side of Kent-st.

After it. short time it was discovered that the «eat of the tire was in an inner room in the second storey. and the efforts of the brigade Were directed to that spot. but not until after the partitions and a large hole had been burned through the floor and lower ceil- ing. and also a smaller hole through the floor above. which was utilized as a s :ciety hell by the ’Prentice Boys and Canadian Oddfellows. The third storev was filled with smoke, and one of the firemen I attempted to reach the front windows in order to let the smoke escape, and suc- ceeded, but was no nearly exhausted that he had to break the windows in order to secure air. and it was some time before he could speak. As soon as the smoke cleared away it was found that the fire was completely quenched from the well directed stream below. The general sup- position is the fire was caused by a' number of young would-be sports who pay frequent visits to vacant this in order that they can enjoy an undisturbed game of craps. The losses on the building and stock total on to less tha. t $500, which is fully covered by insurance. -Many friends in this district will regret to learn of the death or Mr. Isaac Skuce, young- est son of Mr. William Skuce, lot 1, con. 7.

Just entering manhood, there was a bright future ‘ before him had he been spared ; but the Master who knoweth best, and doeth all things wisely and well, decreed otherwise.

He wears a ring in which he be- lieves is embedded a piece of the true cross. It was originally one of the treas- ures of the Vatican, and was presented to an ancestor of the czar {or diplomatic rea- sons. The value which the czar sets upon the ring. with its embedded relic, is shown by the following fact: Some years ago the czar was traveling from St. Pctmbnrg to Moscow. He suddenly discovered that he had forgotten the ring. The train was stopped immediately and a special messen- ger sent flying back on an express engine loz- lt. Nor would the czar allow the train to move until. several hours afterward, the messenger returned with the ring. _ __..-, -wflv vyu the bones, cut the meat into pieces and bread crumbed and fried them.

This is true of the well known epigrammes d'agneau a la Michelet or e. la Toulouse, as it is more frequently called. Michelet was the cool: of a young French marquis. of the last century, who was noted for her lack of education. 011 a certain occasion she gave a dinner to the otficers or the regiment Choiseul~Cavalerle. During the function her guests spoke of a banquet that they 1 had attended on the previous evening, at which the host had entertained them with many new and brilliant epigruns. The marquise supposed that “opigrams” re- ferred to culinary surprises. Consequently she summoned Michelet, her cook, and or- dered him to prepare some epigrsml for dinner on the following day. Michelet was greatly troubled as to how he was to she the order. He recollected, however, the he had in the larder some very super- lor lamb.

If the file idea were entertained that the road to London was open, the effect of that idea would be for the hour ruin such us the world has never witnessed. The panic might, we believe would, suspend the whole social organization of the king- dom. All banks would shut their doors. The means of paying wages would be un- procurable, masses of men threatened with starvation would be raging in city streets as the Athenian mob raged, and unless parliament had very trusted leaders its deliberations might only add to the general confusion. London knowg in- stinctively that, if attacked by a triumph- unt enemy, it can neither be defended nor ‘ fed; that, in fact, its only solid protection Would he victory in the field. and London, if it got out of band, would be a pande- monium such as only shells could reduce to order. We English despise foreign na- tions because their capitals are liable to “excitement. ” panic, aimless insurrection- ary movements, or revolts like that of the commune, but we have no experience which justifies our over-weaning confidence.
