Davis. -- ee OFFICIAL REPORTING. atthe Gamey Trial Mr. Nelson Butcher, the official tenographer of the Gamcy investi- ration, made elaborate preparations i his task. Mr. Butcher has 16 May's proceedings in the hands of court at 10 o'clock of the fol- lowing day. The copies are for the use of the commissioners and the "solicitors and principals on each To reproduce them in the re- Yuired time Mr. Butcher has a staff of 10 or 12 experts, with other pro- fessional operators in reserve in case accidents. Even with so large a the most laborious and exact- | will be Foquited to vrry ¢ e ns in during the or oCraToi and most of the shorthand report himself. This occupies his time from 10 o'clock to 4. To extend his fiotes he uses a Bettini instrument This is an dectrizal appliance, which works on something of the same principle as a phonograph. Mr. But- cher reads his notes into the instru- ment, and this operation takes about the same time as the pro- ceedings took in court, that is until about 11 o'clock at night. The Bet- tini attachment, while Mr. Butcher is speaking into it, is connected to successive rollers, which reproduce his words as by a phonograph to two expert operators on typewriting machines, who made the first copies of the evidence. A few ter these two start working another relay begins making the copies of their shects, and in this way the 18 copies are complete before midnight. After that there are two or three _ hours' work verifying the report This is done by reading the type- written manuscript back to Mr. Dut- cher, who follows his shorthand notes throughout. The officials thought at one time nf attempting to reduce the report to printing each night for the fol Jowing day, but this plan was giv en up as impracticable owing to the limited time Printed copies are, however, available on the second day | after each day's proceedings.

It was dur- ing the Unrestricted Reciprocity cam- paign of 1890, when a good deal of what looked like annexation senti- ment Was in the Provinge. Sir Oli- ver wrote an open letter on the lines of Dritish connection, and it had a steadying effect upon public opinion. Te made a great many changes in the proofs, although he had already al gut to pieces a couple of previous sets. It was questionable, in fact, whether so many corrections could be made so late at night. Apologiz- ing about it, he said, in his smiling, gentle way: "It is a good thing there is no time for ancther proof or 1 should probably make as many morc chang- es. George Brown said to me one time that if the Lord's Prayer had been submited to me in proof I would have changed it." His sensc of humor acting upon his knowledge of human nature greatly helped his influence with men His political methods being beyond su- spicion, he yet always avoided pos- ing as honcster than other men 1 attended a meeting in Richmond Hall one afternoom where were ga- thered all the Liberal candidates in Ontario at previous and pending cl- cctions. It was an organization meeting, a kind of family gathering, Sir Oliver was called upon near the close of the proceedings to make a few remarks. He was in good fcrm, and as he looked over the audience | he understood that it was not a | time for ordinary platform speech making He was, therefore, very brief He thanked his friends and followers for the ed for the welfarc zeal they had show- of the Liberal par- ty. He expressed confidence that the result of their labors would be a Liberal victory when next they ap- pealed to the electorate "I thank vou, gentlemen,"' he said, 'for your efforts You have a good cause for which to fight, and"~ a good Government I think I may venture to say that if you have a good party you have also a good Government. For nineteen years wo have given the Province a prudent administration of its affairs. We (with a smile) have given the Province a Govern- ment which has been efficient, pro- gressive, and as honest"-- at this point his sense of humor entered, he hesitated, and, after looking through | his gldBses at his audience for a mo- ment, he added--"as honest as {is practicable."" This finish of the sen- tence being altogether unexpected aroused the utmost laughter and ap- plause. Such a turn of his phrase away from the point of boasting, be- fore an audience before whom boast- ing was not necessary, was a touch of humor whose piquacy was greatly | increased by the undoubted integrity of the speaker's whole record.

Bouth Africa Losiug Her Supremaey for Feathers Since Establishment of Os- trich ¥arms in the Antipodes. 10,000 rolls of new and up Ostrich farming in Australia is fast booming to the front and sending out a feathery product which is far superior than any ever derived from sort @f country and the right sort of climate obtained there, he said, to make the venture a success even beyond that of sheep farming Within the following year the first Australian ostrich farm was started in a Sydney suburb. "The farm is located near one of the immense headlands guarding the entrance to Port Jackson, and com- mands a magnificent panoramic view of the waters of the broad Pacific. right Kraals were built, exactly as the animals are boused in Africa, and twenty-two fine, healthy birds were imported and fed on maize and veg- etable matter. The supply of water on the farm is limited, but it is found that ostriches require but lit- tle water to thrive. The Birds Thrive. "The experience fm raising the birdy and gathering their feathers is practically the same in Australia as it is elscwhere--the animals thrive even better under their new condi- tions than they did in their native Jand--and it's safe to say Africa is not going to have a monopoly in plume harvesting. One of the os- triches on the Sydney farm yielded a feather 27 inches long and 15 inches idé and of the pure i Jats In | Australia ae a a hail years is their full time. feathers, of course, are most Te lo When the bird is matured. "After the feathers are clipped, they are carefully strung and dried after which they arc graded oyiee the workshop. Owing to more favorable climatic conditions and to better care end food, the feathers are su- perior to any sent from Africa, and there is a ready sale for them in the open market where the supply just now is unable to meot the demand.

A BIT OF HISTORY. Battle for a Throne Which Paralyzed the Jducobites. The conversion of England to the Whigs was hastened by a desperate attempt of the I'retender to gain the throne. There was no real hope of success (says Green), for the Jacob- ites in England were few, and the Tories were broken and dispirited by the fall of their leaders. Lord Ox- ford was impeached and sent to the Tower, while Bolingbroke and the Duke of Ormond fled over the sca. But James Stuart was as inaccess- ible to reason as his father had been, and in spite of Dolingbroke's counsels he ordered the Earl of Mar to give the sign*for revolt in the North. In Scotland the triumph of the Whigs meant the continuance the House of Argyll in power, and t.

Among Andrew Carnegie's collec tion of anecdotes illustrative of traits of Scottish character, one of the oddest is as follows Sir John Cave was in Glasgow in 1807, at a time when the populace had it in mind to honor Nelson with a monument. Sir John attended a public dinner one evening whereat the | monument came in for a good deal of discussion, and many opinions were advanced as to the style of the inscription that should grace the stone Finally the visitor was asked to favor the company with his views on this matter "I think," said Sir John, "that the style of the inscription should be eminently simple and plain. What I should put on the monument would be just the words, 'Glasgow to Nol- son. 'I agree with the gentleman,' ' sald an aged Scot, arising, "but I would make an addition. We all know that from the town of Glasgow to that of Nelson is six miles, and there- fore I would affix to the monument, after the words Glasgow to Nelson, the addendum, 'six miles,' and then our monument would serve two pur- poses," ---- eet Consolation in Ireland.
