The apflication of the Toronto Telephone Company, for cancellation of a patent uranted to the Bell Telephone Company in 1877, was argued before the Minister of Agriculture and the Acting Commissioner of Patents recently.

French population statis.ics for the year 1883 show an excess of births over deaths of %),843—the lowest excess since 1880. There were some 2,000 more marriages than formerly. This year, of course, both rates are much lower, so that the popula- tion has practically been stationary.

In Russia, the late Emperor Alexander observed the sentinel always marching up and down on a grass-plot. Upon inquiry, he diccovered that the Empress Catherine had observed an early daisy on the plot, and had remarked to one of her suite that she hoped that it would not be picked. Ever after a sentinel had kept watch and guard by night and by day over the plot.

Edison, the inventor, said a few days since in Philadelphia :—‘:Electricity is simply without bound—we can't get to the end of it. It will be used for everything. [have now an apparatus by which I can produce electricity direct fromm coal, but it is not yet perfect. [should have shown it here, only it makes such a muss, avd be- sides itis rather a dangerous experiment, a3 it is apt to explode sometimes.”’

Sharks, those avaricious denizens of the deep, have for companions pilot fish. These are handsome fellows with nothing terrify- ing either in manner or appearance. They are supposed to locate the prey for the sharks and come in for a share of the plun- der after the raid has been made. Not withstanding the shark owes much of his success to the pilot fish, he does not hesi- tate to swallow one of them occasionally. There are sharks on terra firma not at all unhke in this respect their brother mon- sters of the deep.

There are very few people in Canada who need to goto church without acollar on. A Globe reporter in this guise visited the Toronto churches to find out how the poor but honest were treated. His varied fortunes are related graphically in his re- port, which appears in that paper. In some of these, fearless of the odor of tobacco and like imaginable discomforts, he was received as a man and a brother and put into one of the best pews and treated well by the ladies. In some of the larger churches, however, either discretion or worldly pride overcame benevolence, and he wa: used like the poor man mentioned by St. James, and shown, without any evidences of respect, into a back seat. The casual’s work will have very good effect. Many, who have not already done so, will ask themselves whether the respect of persons, which the pew system develops, is Christian. Some will go so far as to ask if a system which makes such distinctions is befitting the house of God, in whose sight all are alike sinners. Some, too, may be provoked to more courteous attention to strangers when they learn that by so doing some have entertained reporters unawares.
