THE STATES AND SPAIN.
Ar the brink ef war, the United States and Spain have both paused. It is possible, though not probable, that the pluuge may pot, after all, be made. Spain may back down; or the States, seeing that they Lave much to lose and little to gain by war, may be induced to abate their demands in favour of peace. In the meantime, both nations are taking time to count the cost of the struggle that seems to be imminent,
AN EXPERIMENTAL FARM
os
Previer Warsvrton is onthe right endeavouring to indnee the Government to establish an Farm in this agricultural
track when Dominion Experimental Province. It’s
our farmers can
all very well to say that
take advantage of the
Nappan Farm. ar conditions as to suil, etc, are so aifferent to those of Nappan that the Nappan Farm
is of little value to us. We believe that an arrangement could be made under which the Dominion Goverument might extend to us the adyantages of an experiments farm, adapted to our conditions and needs,
with little if any additional expense to the
country at large; and we shallgive Pre
mier Warburion full credit if he make such an arrangement with his friends at
Ottawa,

MR. POPE'S LECTURE.
Tue poet Pope says that “the proper study of mankindis man.” Another Pope —our Pope—is evidently of this opinion. The lecture of last evening, delivered in St. Paul’s Schoolroom, proved that Mr. Percy Pope, of this city, bas made a very careful study of Man in his relationship to Things. Mr. Pope’s theory is that the uns derstandings and characters of men are determined by experiences, world, from the cradle to the av wellas vpon native powers of mind aud body. His lecture was very suggestive to parents and teschers,echool trustees and others, directly or indirectly engaged in the work of education. The high impor- tance of the child’s environments and the experiences to which he is subjected was ably eet forth. Every thoughtful person must have approved the high encomium passed upon the lecturer by Dr. Andereon when moving the vote of thanks.

Ovr young men and maidens ought to remember that bicycling, like many other good things, oughtito be taken in mod-~

It was recorded inthe cable despatches a few days ago that among the conscripts in France who were Iately rejected as being unfit {to enter the army were eight renowned bicyclists—men who had coati- nestal as well as French reputations. Disease of the heart, brought on by hard riding, was the cause of their, uafitness.

The British soldiers and the Egyptian troops fought with almost equal steadiness and dash, and so well was the two hours’ battle planned that the defeatof the dervishes was the most decisive one in the whole history of desert campaigaing.

The Captain and Eleven of the Crew Are Supposed to Have Been Lost.
New York, April 12.—The North Ger-
man Lioyd steamer Sxale, Captain Blanco, which arrived to day from Genoa, reports
that on Sunday last she picked up a life |
boat containing two men of the crew of the ship Mariborough of Windsor, N.8., who probably are all that survive of the ship’s crew offonrtecn. Thetwo sailors were very much exhausted when rescued by the
Saale. The Marlborough sailed from Si. John., N. B., March 16, for Sharpness, with a cargo of deals.
There was experieaced a succession of heavy gales, chiefly trom the eastward, in which the ship Jabored heavily, causing her to leak badly. The storm continued without any cessation until April 4, when during the height of the gale the ship went 10, pieces. The crew attempted to launch the life boat, but it was dashed to pieces before it reached the water.
There was one other toat. The men went to work making life rafts from the cargo of deais, and nine of them left the side cf the water-logged vessel. Captain Cochran and four men were the last to leave in the remaining boat. Shortly after abandoning the Marlborough tho:e it che boat lost sight of the remainder of the crew. The captain’s boat drifted away before the gale. In the hurry of abandoning the Malborough, but scant provisions could be placed inthe boat. The little crew suffered fearfully from thirst and later on trom hunger. On April 7, Capt. Cochran died from exhaustion and exposur®, and on Easter morniog, at daylight, another of the crew died. Thre was now left in the boat Chief Officer George V. Masters aed Seamen
James Fannon. Both men were well nigh worn out from bunger and thiret. Their bost was in a badly damaged
condition, having been stove in by sea and badly battered by the floatiog wreckage from their vessel. They had almost de- spaired of being rescued when Mate Masters eighted the smoke of a steamer to the westward. The Saale’s lookout had mean- while sighted the castaways aud the ship’s course was headed for the boat, which was reached just before 10 a. m. a
