Bhipowners Responsible for Safety ’ § of Goods. A despatch from Montreal says : Considerable ‘anxiety is being exâ€" pressed by shipowners with regard to the provisions of the water carâ€" riage of goods act, which comes inâ€" to force on September 1 next, alâ€" _though the shippers are jubilant, ciaiming that it is just what they wanted. The shipâ€"owners say that‘ ib makes them a sort of insurers of| the cargo, and will inevitably raise rates, to the detriment of the Caâ€" nadian shipping trade. It was statâ€" ed by Board of Trade officials on _Wednesday that the result of the new act would be that water carriâ€" ets, both Between Canadian ports and from Canadian to foreign ports,i would have to be responsible as to cargoes, so far as the ship, shipâ€"' ewners, crew or agents were con-’ cerned.

In this garden a playroom, a school, a hospital, a fire station, andâ€"anâ€"administration room are to be found. Naturally this circular plot of ground leaves free four corâ€" rers. In each of these four corâ€" ners the professor proposes to build four chalets, such as grocery shops, dairies, haberdasheries, and the like, which are intended to be carâ€" ried on in a coâ€"operative way. In each of the ninetyâ€"nine radial plots! a workingman‘s house is to be erecâ€" teJ on the English plan.

Pierre Roveda who has deâ€" vised a special plan for building wlole~ districts of. houses for the werking man. Instead of erecting the houses on the ordinary square block, Prof. Roveda has used a cirâ€" cle, which has a diameter of from 100 to 130 yards. . This circle of, ground is subdivided into ninetyâ€" nine radial lots converging to a center. The circle is concentrically divided to form an interior avenue Four yards broad to allow commuâ€" nication with the center of the cirâ€" cle. Each avenue leads to external sidewalks and to longitudinal and transverse streets. ‘It seems to be quite conclusiveâ€" ly shown,‘‘ says one authority, afâ€" ter a discussion of recent studies ard tests, "that in the normal inâ€" dividual digestion is at least not impaired by the drinking of water with meals.‘‘ In other words, Dame Nature wins a moderate victory. It may be unsafe to drinkâ€"too much water at meals, but it is not unâ€" safc to yield to appetite and drink,. say, a pint of water during dinneri or lunch.

He wished to proâ€" long their stay amid scenes of such ineffable wonder, rather than court danger, and offers with his own khands to set up a tent for each of these great personages. This is the divine sign on man, not that he stands aloof, according to the ancient thought of the gods, surveying the seene with placid biow, still less that he shrinks away with: quivering lips fearing the heat and stress of the battle, but that he cannot be content to live unless he has a part in the whole world process, unless he is throwing himself into that lifo which moves on, groaning and traâ€" vailing, into larger, finer life. f I We spend too much time analyzâ€" ‘ing the fight, pining over the strife, ‘and lamenting the noise of the batâ€" ! t!c..
