THE NEWS OF THE DAY.

Carefully Collated by “The Ex-

aminers” Reporters.

The Dominion Government has decided to vote $7,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the Hull fire.

The Pope has consented to be the god father of Qneen Christina’s child, the future King of Spain.

The models who pose for the school of design, Pittsburg, Pa., are the latest strikers. They demand 25 cents per hour.

A justice, who makes a specialty of re- marrying divoreed couples who have be- come reconciled, hangs out the sign “* Re- pairing neatly done.”

Mrs. Mu!don—Mrs. Mulcahey, have you heard the new rimidy of hydrophoby ? Mrs, Muicahey—No, faith. Phat is it? Mrs. Muldon—Plasteur of Paris, begorra !

The next examination of candidates for entrance to the Royal Military Collego will take place in the 12 Military Districis of the Dominion on the 15th June. The maximum number of candidates is 24, two from exch district.

At a recent woman’s suffrage convention, where it was found necessary to pass the bonnet instead of the hat, not one of the delegates’ would consent to give up her headgear for fear somebody else weuld dis- cover where the bonnet had been fixed over.

It is aSserted by several German news- papers that tho Queen i is desirous of bring- ing sbout a marriage between the Grand Duke of Hesse and the Duchess of Albany. The duchées originally met her late hus- band at Darmstadt during the autumn of 1881.

Ap article;in a health magazine shows that }printer? die youny. May de good printers die young; but the compositor who converts a word of five syllables into new words of one and two asyllibles each, without uying very hard, doesn’t die as early as he should.

Shakespeare didn’t know everything, after all. He says : ‘‘But love is blind and lovers cannot see.” Can't, eh! Two young, inexperienced lovers can get along Suriday night with less gas and less room to move around in than the oldest man with the biggest spectacles in America.

A judge, in pronouncing the death sentence, tenderly observed : “If guilty, you richly deserve the fate that awaits you. If innocent, it will be a gratification for you to feel that you were hanged without such a crime on your conscience, In either case you will be delivered from a world of care.

An Atlanta cow fell into a deep well on |Sunday, and her owner was unable to hoist her out, so he brought many loads of shay- ings from a neighboring planing mill and dumped them into the well. As fast as they fell the cow trampled them under her feet and thus she came to the surface and walked away.

In Scotland receatly a woman went to register the birth of her child and had to answer the usual questions. To the one, ‘Were you present at the birth ?”’ the astonished woman answered: ‘‘l am the mother of the bairn.” ‘“‘But that is not an answer to my question,” replied the regis- trar. ‘‘Were you present at the birth ?”’

The pathetic side of far Western journal- ism comes from the Wallows (W. T.) Chieftain, as follows: ‘‘For the first time in the Chieftain’s existence its woodpile has got down to chips Any subscriber who is long on wood and short on money can bring a load of the first named article to this office. The wood should be dry, aud must be cut into two feet lengths.”

Colonel Hewett, R. E., Commandant of the Royal Military College at Kingston since its establishment, sails very shortly for England. He has been appointed to the staff, commanding the Royal Engineers in the west of England and South ‘Wales. ‘he royal naval dockyards of Plymouth The ap pointment is for five years, at about $6,000 per year.

A well known New York lawyer while) addressing a country jury got down on his knees to illustrate the manner in which his; iclient prayed. The awkwardness of the effort provoked some laughter among the spectators, which the judge promptly re- buked, saying : ‘*This commotion is disre-| spectful to the court ani unfair to the counsel, It is probably his first experi- ence.”

Jonesville, New York State, has a very absent-minded citizen, Two mornings in succession after wilking the cow he eet the’ milk in a corner and carried tic milking; istool into the house. On the third morn- | jing he took a basket of turnips to the cow, | emptied them before her, aud then began} jto milk into the basket. He had presence | |of mind enough to stop when about half through milking.

A priest in Patterson, N. J., tracked a |lot of his parishioners up a back «iley into ‘a tavern on a recent Sunday night, walked \in, planted his back against the doer, took lout pencil and Pie and noted the aston-

| tells a good story of his domestics. Having , employed a new honse-maid, be sat down in | the dining room the evening ‘after to.a “civil | game of whist’ with his wife anda couple of neighbors, The next morning ‘the help’ observed that ‘the card playing must be put a stop to or she wonld be obliged >to leave—she didn’t approve of the practice, and never allowed it in families where she lived !’

**Will you have a piece of pie, Mr. Good man ?” asked Bobby’s mother of the minis- ter. ‘‘Thanks, no,” he replied. ‘*Will you, Bobby ?” she enquired. ‘‘No, I guess not,” said Bobby, rather hesitatingly. The minister looked at Bobby in surprise. ‘'T thonght all little boys were fond of pie, he said. “They are.” replied Bobby. ‘*! could eat that hull pie; but ma said if yon didn’t take any I musn’t an’ she’d gaye it for to-morrow.”

Mrs. Stafford, of St. Louis, was spendiny the afternoon with a neighbor recen'ly, when she saw a valuable setter dog of her husband’s racing back and forth betwoer the two houses, and attempting to jump up to the window where she was sitting. She at Jength decided that something was wrong, went to her house, unlocked the door, and found that the house was on fire. The dog’s warning was in time, and the building was saved.

A story is told of a Boston doctor. Ia a crowded church the deacon with the eonéri- bution box made his difficult way up the aisle and held that receptacle for the eash of the charitable suggestively before the young man. “I am very corry, sir,” the doctor said, to the infinite scandal and astonishment of all about him, *‘but the woman with a pink feather in her bonnet has taken my purse and 1 can’t have her arrested until after service, so you'll have to wait.”

The proprietorship of love letters has been forever set at rest in England, three of the lords justices deciding that the letters belong to the writer, who in case of es- trangement may demand and receive them back, provided they have not been des- troyed. _ Ladies may write in them what- ever nonsense they may like, with the ful! assurance that they cannot be published without their consent, nor can they be sold or disposed of contrary to the author's wishes,

They were a Boston corple, who had been married but a few weeks and had just gone to housekeeping. As the husband stood at the area door one morning, with the market basket in his hand, his bride threw her arms around him and said: ‘* Do you indeed love me so very, very much, Bradford?’ ‘Bunker Hill monument may fell,” he answered with enthusiasm, “‘but my love will always stand.” ‘* Well, then,” she exclaimed, kissing him, ‘‘ don’t forget the beans.”

At last something new beside the bride is chronicled at weddings. A Baltimore ‘‘happy couple” knelt on a rug of pink and red roses when the clergyman pronounced them one, last week, and the bridal gown was not of conventional satin, but composed entirely of Valenciennes lace, caught with tiny white birds and natural orange blos- soms, Now, if this isn’t novelty, nothing at these fashionable ceremonies can be, and Baltimore deserves to be called the banner city, having thought of the floral rug.

The Scotch are proverbially a thrifty race. A short time ago the traveller of a well-known wholesale house in London called on a Glasgow trader for the usual annual account. §With many apologies this gentleman professed his inability to pay, but offered a bill at three months in place of the ready cash. After some demur this was accepted, andthe necessary docu- ment drawn up and settled. Said the debtor, ‘‘ Noo, my laddie, that’s finished, I'll discount it for ye if ye weel?” And the bill was discounted.

Pierre Boudreau, a merchant of Laprairie, Que., failed three years ago. Amongst other assets turned over to the creditors was a policy of life assurance of $2,000 Six months after Mr. Boudreau died and the insurance company was notified, the creditors of course claiming payment. The Canada Life Assurance Company has refused payment on the ground that the assurance policy wastaken out under a false pretence, he suffering from a malady at that time. An action has been entered against the company to obtain payment.

Sir Provo William Parry Wallis, G. C. B., the senior Admiral of the Flect, has just attained his ninety- fifth year, having been born at Halifax, in Nova Scotia, on April 12th, 1791. The gallant veteran first went to sea in 1804, but he was borne on ithe books of the navy since 1795, when he ‘was only four years old, his father having igecupied an official position in the naval ‘yard at Halifax. He took a prominent |part in the memorable action off Ruston between the Shannon, of which he was ‘lieutenant, and the American frigate Chesapeake, which was captured after a

perate etruggle of fifteen minutes. on June Ist, 1813, nearly seventy-three years ago.

It is contended by the Americans that the treaty of 1818 being between the United States and Great Britain and the jtreaty of 1819 being an imperial statute, | that the Imperial authorities have the sole lright of acting under that statute. Tho | statute of 1819 confers upon any properly commissionei officer in British North |America, from the governor down tea | sheriff, the authority to make seizures and confseations of fishermen infringing the jtreaty of 1818. By the British North ‘American ect this right (section 12) is, passed on and perpetuated to the officials of

the Dominion of Canada. The position of Canada is absolutely nosuaailien
