But it is best to drink liquids only after the meal is consumed, and then in moderation, otherwise the stomach gets overloaded and refuses to do its work.

An interesting attempt, according to Country Life, is to be made to acclim- atize the Canadian moose (an elk) in New Zealand. and steps are being taken in the Dominion to collect a herd of both sexes for shipment to the Anti- podes.

Any- thing like mere bare reports of the progress of a great struggle would in- variably lead to a state of more or less apathy on the part of the rpu'blic. mal, but, like all beasts of its size, certain to become extinguished at the hands of man in any country where it is not protected. To say that the bull moose has tihe heart of a lion would be but to compliment the lion. It the lion had the heart of a bull moose he would be a terrible thing indeed. But often the courage of the moose only assists in his destruction, and his strength is of no use to him against modern rifles. Even his speed and his solitary ways of life avail him little in a country where snow falls heavily, for his tracks cannot be hidden, and in two feet of crusted snow he is almost as helpless and as much at the mercy of a hunter as if he were hobbled. eéga or 60,000 humming birds’ eggs. or an gallons of water.

Some years ago a battery of artillery was at gun practice at Bermuda. One of the guns, a thirty-eight ton, was found to have a serious flaw. The offi- cer in charge. not caring to risk half a dozen valuable lives, inquired, “Ser- geant, have we any time expired met} here?” “Yes, sir,” answered the ser- geant. “John Jackson has just complet- ed his tinne.” “Well, then.” replied the thoughtful officer, “John Jackson will fire the gun.” And John Jackson did fire the gun, happily with no fatal 1e- suit. A Prodigious Egg. There is being exhibited in Liverpool a prodigious egg, that of a. tall, flight- less birdâ€"the Aepyornis Maximusâ€" which formerly inhabited the island of Madagascar. The eggs of this immense creature are nearly a. yard in circum- ference and a. foot in length, and their cubical contents, roughly speaking, are equal to six ostrich eggs, or 150 hens’ Mr. C. Arthur Pearson said that he was sure they were all in absolute agreement with the endeavor to pro- mote some arrangement which would do away with any possibility of news published in neWSpapers being of ser- vice to the enemy.

A conference of newspaper vpraprie- tors and others was held at the Royal United Service Insti: *tion recently to consider the question of. regulating the publication of news in time or war that would be of service to the enemy. THE CUP THAT CHEERS (?) NEWS IN TIME OF WAR. Moose For New Zea‘and. 11‘ l‘cli'l Lea. OUR H \ M CHRONICLE Hours before the Queen left a large staff of mechanics were at work testing the royal train at every point. Finally a staff of mechanics, telegraphists and electricians traveled with the train, which was in the supreme charge of Mr. Rdbert Turnbull, the superintendent of the line. The passage of the royal spe- cial was prearranged at every pointâ€" all signal oboxes, crossings and stations through which it passed being fully warned of its approach. A special time-table was, further- more, drawn up, and to this the strict- est attention must be paid, for by the Queen’s wish a moderate speed is to be maintained throughout the journey. The Royal Driver. The Queen’s driver was Mr. Phrllip Howman. a veteran who has been in the service of the L. N. W. for 40 years past, and has driven the royal train for the past 16 yeans. Long before the en- gine was couple to the train Mr. How- man’s assistants were busy testing and brightening every part of “Alaric”â€"-the engine’s name. Then the veteran drfiver himself mounted its shining steps and satisfied himself as to the fitness of his “steed." “Yes," said Howiman, before the start- ed, “I know the engine and I know the road better than anyone or anything else that comes within my sphere of life. I like to drive the royal train and to know that the Queen or King is aboard, although I never see Their Majestles, and I don‘t suppose they’ve ever heard of me. But I just keep my hands firm on the stops and my eyes straight before me, and I think of no- thing else but my work until I get to Carlisle.” The usual crowds collected outside Euston to see Her Majesty's departure, but, as is customary, they were ex» cluded from the departure platform. Everything was in readiness, all lug- gage stowed away, and even the royal pets, toy-dogs and birds, safely en- sconced when the Queen stepped out of the royal brougham two minutes before eight o’clock. Her Majesty was receiv- ed by Mr. Robert Tu-rnbull and other high officials 01 the company. andxim- 1;.an “he re they are to join the K1217; and other members of the Royal Fam- 11y. As the Queen decided to travel by night. it became necessary for the London Northwestern to make some slight alterations in the running of their trains. The usual eight o’clock Scotch express was accordingly delay- ed ten minutes to allow of its preced- ence by the royal train. Too many of us fail to realize that it is not necessary to possess a thing in order to enjoy it. This is particular- ly true of real estate. W'e can all enjoy looking at beautiful parks and gardens and have no other sensation than that of pleasure, While the aetual material owner has to worry about the taxes. the repairs and the gardener’s wages.

Boyd Dawkins, professor of geologyat Owens College, Manchester, describes as “an event of the most importance for the district since the Norman con- quest.” As the train steamed out of the sta- tion loud cheers were raised, and the Queen, who was seen standing â€" a. charming figure in black, set in a bower of pink silk electric lights and Chrysan- themumsâ€"repeatedly bowed \her ac- knowledgments. Rich seams of coal have been found at a. boring seven miles from Dover, and it all that is said in praise is ful- filled Kent will in a few years’ time develop into another Lancashire. The new coal field is claimed to be the largest virgin one in the United King- dom, and the value of the coal is plac- ed at anything over one thousand mil- lions sterling. The area of the. field is stated to be one hundred square miles. Sir William Richmond, one of the most celebrated Royal academicians, in a London lecture complained that the world is growing vulgarly democratic and vulgarly superficial. Commerce is flooding the markets with undesirable and unubeautiful objects. The average taste for beautiful things probably is less than a century ago, notwithstand- ing the multiplication of art schools, and peOple dress in bad taste.

Lawrence’s Old Stand. l Glasgow Flourishes by Exercise of High‘ Standard of Citizenshipâ€"“My ‘ City ’T Is of Thee.” g Much nonsense has been spoken about the municipal government of! Ethe city. The assertion that “the citizens may no taxes, there is no exâ€" treme poverty, and everything is iireex :because owned by the city.” is as ta-i . bulous as foolish. But municipal own-i ; ership exists in a large measure, itsi ' responsibilities are met most credit-1 , ably, and the beneficent results are’ fully shared and appreciated by the: citizens The expenses of city govern-1 ment and the taxes theretor are re-! duced to a minimum; and are much lower than such are in any city which: owns much less in America. The gen- eral tax is about $7 per $1,000 on thef assessed property valuation, which ap-i proximates as near as possible to thei real value of the property. Gas costs consumers forty- eight cents per 1,;000 cubic feet. Water costs the consum- i er ten cents per $5 rental and ow nez'; two cents per $5 on assessed valuation: of property. ”What strikes an American; most in investigating municipal affairs; in the city of Glasgow is the strong; civic spirit which prove des everyone and everything connected With it from' the Lord P ovost to the piledr‘iver in the new plant of the drainage depart- ment. They do not sing “My Country, ’tis of Thee ” But the atmosphere seems to breathe the words “My city. ’tis for thee ” : -â€"â€".â€".â€"_ -...._. . â€"â€".â€"-â€" _.,-_._.__.__â€"._.â€".... ._.- ._ ' The city also provides excellent hos- ;pital accommodation and treatment, free of charge, to all its cib‘izens who desire to avail themselves of it. The beds available in hospitals for infec- tious diseases alone number 1,265, and all are equipped with the latest modern appliances, and managed on the most approved methods and principles, Four- teen public parks, compnising 1,031 1-2 acres, are also owned by the city, some of which contain beautiful flower garâ€" (16113 and others bowling greens, where games may be played at the low} cost of four cents per hour.

And let Glasgow flourish by the exercise of a high standard of citis zenship, is the practice of the city cor- poration. There are 72 councilmen elected {by the various wards of the city, and with the Lord Provost these form the city government, magistrates and minor justices of the city. They are all men of high intelligence, many of them university men, most of them hoiding high positions in the commercial world and in the church; «but in all work without any salary from the city. Even the representatiyes of labor on the council do not expect any emolu- ment tor services rendered to the city. but all esteem it a high privilege and great honor to serve the people with- out pecuniary reward. The civic spirit is the finest example of Christian so- cial-ism, as it is free from modern so- iahstic vagaries, The city also owns and Operates a “Family Home,” conducted on what is commonly known as the selfâ€"support- ing and social settlement plan. It was originally designed and equipped for the use of widows or widowers, belong- ing to the deserving working classes, who had children with no one to pro- perly care for them. The “Home" con- tains 160 bedrooms plainly but oom- fortably furnished, each capable of ac- commodating one adult and three chil- dren. The rent of. a bed-room, including light, heat, water, hot and cold, with the use or recreation room, dining- room and kitchen, is $1.25 per week. and a bed for each additional child is found {in another room at 16 cents per week. Regular meals are supplied at the lowest possible charges, which may be guessed when we mention that each child is boarded at an average cost of‘ 36 cents per week. Fifteen thousand: people are thus helped daily to live in- dependent, clean, healthful lives, who otherwise would be crowded to the wall in life’s race, and trampled into absom lute poverty, misery and worse than; death. There are also saved to the city,l money, morals and men. 1 The writer asked the Lord Provost, Sir John Ure Primrose, ‘Giow many! days per week, and how many hours' daily do you give to the service of the? city?” His reply was, “Ten hours: daily, and six days a week.” Vorcover.‘ one may t avel and make inquiries 3.81 I did among the critics of the Govern-1 ment, ‘but he would not hear a suspi»i cion of dishonesty against any member. of it. They all seem to be, thoughi serving without remuneration, like Cae- sar’s wife, “above suspicion.” Model Lodging-Houses. 0 This high civic spirit is the secret or} the success of municipal ownership in the city. It simply means, we shall do; our best for our city because it is ourS' we shall give of our time and talents freely, and teach others so to do, for the welfare of our fel‘On -c1tizens. And it1 is remarkable what this srpirit is doing for all the citizens, but especially for the poor in the city. Interest in the; man with the dinner- pail, and his tam-é ily, is in evidence everywhere. The cit 1 i l I d owns property which it either remodel- 2 led or built into 2,060 laborers’ dwell-3 ings. This in itself has had far-reach-J ing influences upon better housing atl reasonable rents for the working man. It also constructed and equipped seven model lodging-houses, which naturally; destroyed the success of many common? lodging-houses conducted by private’ enterprise, which were hotbeds of vice! and crime, and also centres .for pro-j pagating dis-ease. The seven houses. give accommodation nightly to 2.430; persons. Each house is provided with. a common dining-room, a kitchen with? utensils and fire available for cooking? at any hour of the day; and a provisioni store is attached to each house, ex-i oepting one, where uncooked food can be purchased at market prices. A large; recreation room and ample .bathingf conveniences are also provided, and each lodg Ger has a separate ‘bed, with spring mat-tress, pillow, sheets, 'blan- ket and bed mat, at a. charge varying. from seven cents to twelve cents per} night. And what seems strange is, the enterprise is successful from a finan cial viewpoint. I GLASGOW’S ClVlC SPIRIT. Without Salary. Family Home.
