It is reported that a co'lony of mice held festivities in a. match box in a house in the east end with the result that it was by mere chance that, the house was not burned.

Stephenson Bros. are adding a new improved water wheel to their mill to increase the capacity. French-(,‘anadiun longevity is again in evidence. Away back in 1831, Mr. P. Forget of Delpatic, Que, at the age of :24, married a. young W0- man of 16, and, after a married life of 70 years. they are both hale and hearty, one at 94, and the other at 86. They had 13 children, and their descendants number 58 grandchild- ren and 32 great-grandchildren. It cannot be said that 13 was an unâ€" lucky number in this instance. Every time J. Pierpont Morgan goes abroad he makes it a point to acquire a number of valuable souven- irs of the trip.

Inquiries have come from such social poles as the famous public school of Winchester and board schools in the poorest part of the east end of London. and from places so widely separated as rural schools in the Cotswolds, attended by , the agricultural classes, the type of set- tler most wanted in Canada and the suburbs of Liverpool. “.‘A few years back you kindly lent us some slides‘ for use in our evening continuation school,” writes one head master in asking for the extension of the scheme to his school. “Since then several old boys have settled in Can- ada. and I know of others wanting to do so." Another, in preferring a 1similar request, writes: "More than one of our old boys are already do- ing well in the Dominion, and it furâ€" i nishes an opening particularly at- tractive and suitable to boys living, as We do, close to Liverpool.” This is practical work of the most eflective sort. The besetting racial sin of the Englishman of the present generation is that he has not come to realize that the British commun- ity includes the Britons of Greater Britain. It is with the young .that we must work. and a. few years spent in teaching the rising generation of Britain in the nature of the wide do- mains inhabitated by their fellow- subjects would render fruit an hun- dred-fold in the direction of “ sound and Wise politics. Lord Strathcona’s expedient is as wise as it is patriot- 10. ‘ Dundas' and Flavelle Bros.

A View of Ontario’s Schools. I It is interesting, in view of the vis- it of the Duke and Duchess of Corn- wall and York to Canada, to glance at the account of the Dominion schools which is given in the “Spe cial Reports” lately published by the ‘ Board of Education. The young Can- adians are evidently being Well edu- cated, both in Ontario and Quebec. The next generation will, in fact, probably be second to none in that‘ respect, either in Europe or beyond the ocean. The religious dimcultx ‘ which gave so much trouble not long 1 ago in Manitoba, appears to be quite satisfactorily disposed of in the two great Provinces. Quebec is over- whelmingly Roman Catholic, and On- tario overwhelmingly Protestant. but in each case the rights of the minority are carefully safeguarded. The clergy of all denominations in Ontario, it is stated, take much in- te1 est in the schools, but there is no suggestion of proselytism. Upper Canada is, it would seem, in a fair way to become a classic country, for we read that no less than 83 per cent. of the high school pupils learn Latin. It would be strange indeed if the Old Learning, almost elbowed out of middle class curriculums at home, should find a refuge among our colonists across the Atlantic. An. explanation is perhaps found in the fact that the Upper Canadians are largely of Scottish descent, and the Scot, of all classes, has always re» garded Latin as part of the ordinary school course. But there is no dan- ger of the classics excluding what is called more practical teaching. Phy- sics are a compulsory subject. and manual training is carefully attended to alike in primary and secondary schools._â€"-Froni The London, Eng» Globe. l lllusry Atmosphere of the Famous Old Cityâ€"Bonud the fluidâ€"Long Walk on tho Bally-no. may be drawn around any taken point as a. centre and at any dis- tance from that point, writes S.

The city is drawn around the citadel. which rises comfortably above it, and Irom which the entire round of its mani- fold activities. its industry and ease, its plenty and want. its beauty and fire escapes, its shady gardens and dusty streets. spreads out as on a map.

The wall of the Halifax citaâ€" del is a place to “leaf and invite your soul.” A noticeable military atmosphere pervades the city. At a. quiet street corner early in the morning a man in uniform with rille and fixed bayonet is leaning against the Wall. Two more came up along a lane and stand before him. ‘ ‘Shun! Hep! Ha! Hoâ€"hepl “Shun! Ma! " Then they clmsse right. and left, balance to partners, join hands and circle around, and one is taken and the other left. He who leaned against the wall goes ofi with the Corporal, while the new sentry walks up and dovm, the whole performance so common that, ‘passers scarcely turn to look at it. 'lhe military air that pervades the city culminates in the citadel where even thing moves in accordance with the King's regulations.

In the citadel a visit-or registers and puts himself in charge of a soldier, who seems to be selected on account of his commendable faculty of silence. It is a long walk around the wall of the citadel, and there are many things to see. There are the harbor and Redford Basin. where the whole fleet might be sheltered. There are the ships of war in the harbor, and George’s Island showing the outlines of Port Charlotte toxVard the en- trance. This island has been made into a perfect Warren of fortified passages. It contains a number of powerful modern guns which gave my guide a great amount of hard la- bor last winter, and it holds the central exchange switchboard of all the mines that are lying about loose in the harbor, ready to blow up on- terprising foreign invaders. Beyond this is McNab’s Island, also forti- fied, bigger, more imposing and threatening to close the mouth Or neck of the harbor. Beyond ,this are the lighthouses and York Re- doubt. the most distant of the city's fortifications. Every point and ob- ject of interest in the circular city can be located from the citadel walls that slope gradually up on the sides to a height of 260 feet above the waters of the harbor. It is a remarkably fine circle of commer- cial. industrial and social life that surrounds this extensive‘area of na- tional authority and strength. i l. g i I A Frenchâ€"Canadian has been keep- ing camp all summer in the lumber woods on the upper St. John River. His duties ended, he recently came out to civilization and landed at Felix Herbert's hostelry at. Edmunâ€" ston, says The St. John Telegraph. Mine Host Felix made him comfortâ€" able, and after attending to the inâ€" ner man was asked by the newcomer for the news. ' “What’s the news, Felix?" “No neWS, Whatever.” replied the jovial boniface, and then remember- ing that his guest had been absent many months, added, as an after- thought, "Suppose you know the Queen, he dead." “Who got his job, Felix?” continu- ed the newcomer. “Why, Edward, his son, she got the job," replied Felix. The newcomer replied somewhat disgustedly that this was old news, as it, happened last Winter, to which mine host, acceded. The guest was silent for a moment, puzzling out the matter. Suddenly a light broke over his countenance and he concluded, “Sucre bleu, Felix, that fellow, Edward, she must have great pull with Lnurier." The one big obstacle that has al- ways existed to the taking of New- foundland into Confederation is the French shore difficulty. We have dif- ficulties enough without going out of our way to annex the prize trouble of the western hemisphere. But if that big and long standing trouble can be adjusted before the colonies are united it will be a good thing for all parties concerned. A West End man came home unâ€" expectedly the other afternoon and found his nineyear-old son in a lane neat the house smoking leaves in a new clay pipe. Now pa did not apâ€" ply the quickening hand to the seat of the little lad's trousers, but took his hopeful by the hand and asked him to come in and have a. real good smoke. Then pa. lit his pipe and passed it to Harold, and filled with, joy, Harold asked it he could go up stairs and tap on the trout room window, so that the other boys could see him smoking, And Harold tapped. Then he came down and smoked, and swelled, and sWallowed. Then he burst and cried to go‘ to bed. When he got well he told pa he would never, never smoke again. Pa in a. wise guy.
