NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—(Queen’s weather, yesterday.

—It is semi-officially announced from Madrid thet Spaiu will not consent to the sale of Cuba.

—The people of Ontario, also, are con- templating the prospect of an election be- fore the expidemie subsides.

—The Toronto Globe’s Ottawa corres- pondent intimates that Mr. Laurier may be made an Imperial Privy Councillor at the time of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration.

—The Bank statement for April shows a fairly satisfactory state of trade, though the annual circulation is stil] considerably below that of 1892 and 1893. We're not all rich yet.

—The Montreal Witness remarks that “s number of the organs of the Liberal party are doing their best to bespeak a vote against prohibition.” That is evidently what the leading Liberals in the Govern- ment at Ottawa want.

—The Toronto Globe remarks that “at Jast we have a dc-something Government at Ottawa.” Yes, the government has tinkered with the tariff, just a little, and thousands of Canedians are out of employ- ment, tobacco has gone up two cents a fig,and other things are bigher, while nothing is lower.

—Advices from Ottawa state that there has been a good deal of talk at the capital over a conference which lately took place between Mr. Laurier and Sir Charles Tupper‘as to the close of the session. It is stated that the Premier waited upon Sir Charles and suggested that with the con- sent of the Opposition and ‘in order to secure an early prorogation, the Govern- ment should drop everything, except the estimates, but subsequently added the prohibition plebiscite bill. . ‘Sir Charles Tupper expressed his willingness to join in this arrangement and a bargain was struck. “But it now looks as if the deal is off. Report bas it that the western Liberal members are practically on strike. There was not one in the House the after- noon, they were conferring with Messrs. Greenway and Watson about the duties affecting the Northwest. They want free agricultural implements. The Quebec members say too the arrangement with the Grand Trunk mast go through this session. This involves the Victoria Bridge and I ntercolonial extension.

er torr THE VICTORIAN ORDER OF NURSES.

It is conceded by all that exeellent work ia being done by the trained nurses now in Canada. Among those whose acts of kindness are known ofall men and woman are the members of societies and churches, apd the sisterhoods of the Roman Catholic Church. Their lives are full of unselfish labour and love, and any life with that ex- perience is saved from being poor. In the sparsely settled parts of Canada, and in the homes of the poor of cities and towns, aad even in the homes of those of moderate incomes, there is a need of trained nurses whose services could be obtained at a smail charge. The country sections cali for competent doctors, and if the doctors are supplemented by trained nurses they could each cover more ground. The trained nurees would also carry valuable knowledge of a most practical sort into the homes of the people. This is what the Victorian Order of Nurses will accom- plish.

—Dundas Banner: Too often people say

England when they mean Great Britaio, and not only Great Britain but Great Britain and Ireland. It is always England in the cable despatches; England’s policy in regard to Greece is this or that; England will do so and 80 in regard toSouth Africa and soon. Weal] know what is meant— not England alone but Ireland and Scotland as well, aad it is only fair to bear in mind that Ireland and Scotland have done as much as England to build up the British Empire and make it what it 1s, the greatest empire the world has ever seen.

THE QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY. Many Private xcursions—FExcursion to Pictou —The Abbies Win.

Queen’s weather prevailed throughout yesterday, and the holiday was generally observed. The public efficesy banks and places of business were closed inriag the day, avd from the pyblic “buildings, and various private flag staff¥ the royal colors fleated. The shipping in the har- bor was also decorated with flag, preseat- ing asplendid appearance.

At noon a roya' salute was fired from Fort Edward by a detachment from No 1 Co, © <A., under command of Captain Davison.

The livery stables were depleted early in the day, and the bicycle liveries were also well patronized. There were fishing parties by team and train, and many tail ‘fish stories” are in circnlation to-day. In short every one who could get oul of ihe city did so.

The excursion to Pictou in the Princess wae largely patronized, and proved moat enjoyable. The steamer left Charlottetown at seven in the morning and returned about the same time in the evening. The excursion was under the auspices of the League of the Cross, and their fiue baud accompanied the excursionists.

In connection with the excursion & football match was played at Pictou between a local team and a team from the Abegweita. The

game resulted in a splendid victory for the Abegweits, the seove at the close standing 10 to 0 in their favor, The Pictou team put up @ very good game, but the Abbies were too many for them and applied a generous dose of whitewash. The match was refereed by Mr. Frank Cotton, formerly of Charlottetown but now of Truro, who gave the fullest satis- faction,

Anether Big Day —Michael Madden and Benny Byers in Trouble Again.

Michael Madden, a character well known in police court circles, was this morning arraigned on four separate charges. Foran assault on William A. Hawley, iu February last, Michael was sen tenced to two months imprisonment, and for assaulting Beoj..Byers about the same time he was given another two months. Madden was alvo fined $90 or90 days for drunkenness. A charge of larceny prefer- red agaiast him was dismisred.

WHEN WE CRITICISE FRIENDS

The Kindness of Ignoring Trivial Mis- takes In Our Daily Life.

‘*‘There are two kinds of mistakes, mistakes of moment and trivial mis- takes,’’ writes Edward W. Bok in The Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘“‘ Undoubtedly the best service which one friend can render another is to save him froma mistake liable to be serious in its re- sults. In such an act lies true friend- ship. But in these days of criticism, when we are apt to criticise everything and everybody, we are all too apt to correct mistakes which are absolutely trivial and not worth correcting. And yet in calling attention to them we of- ten hurt the feelings of our best friends. Not one of us, even the most good na- tured, likes to have his mistakes point- ed out. We may appear not to mind cor- rections and accept them with a smile, but itis human nature to smart under correction, altbough some of us may be clever enongh to conceal the smart; hence the fewer mistakes we call atten- tion to in others the better.

‘* Two-thirds of the mistakes we make , are trivial. Their correction is apim- portant. Why then notice them? Yet some people do, and do so constantly. A person speaks of having done a certain thing on Thursday, when in reality it was done on Wednesday. If no impor-

tant point ie involved, why call atten-:}

tion to the mistake? What good does it: do to have the exact day set right? It is: a matter of no importance, so why in- sist upon correcting the trivial error? Stanch friendships have often been pricked by this needle of useless corree- tion. It is a great art—this art of learn- ing to allow others to be mistaken when the mistake is unimportant. Few learn it, but those who do are among the most comfortable friends one can have.””

A Lively Roman Sauce.

Garum, the black green sauce of’ the Romans, was a species ef universal con- diment, but its principal use was for fish. The recipe is as follows: Let the cook take several fishes, it matters Rot much which, but mackerel are the best for the purpose. Let him take out their entrails and put them in vinegar and leave them there for ten days. Then let them be taken out and dried and paw: dered in a mortar with pepper, frumen- ty, roots of dandelion, mint, thyme, sage and a little ginger, and well mix- ed, after which the powder must be put in jars, together with honey, and left to ferment during several weeks. When ready for the table, it must be mixed with Falernian wine—New York Past.
