The cod fishermen have done well this nearly all the Nova Scotia cod catchers having gone home with full fares. Many of our Island seining crews, when not engaged in chasing mackerel, employ their time in catching codfish, and in this way provide a sufticient quantity of that diet for themselves for the wintae, Her- ring of good quality are also taken by them and packed away for ‘future use.

The Scott Act Campaign.

Sir,—It has been truly said that ‘‘ the best cause requires a good pleader.”” Who has not rejoiced to hear the whole-souled, loving ap- peals on behalf of the Scott Act from a Father McGillivray, the honest, earnest pleadings of a George W. Hodgson, or the eloquent voice ofa G. W. Millner. But those voices, once so eloquent, are now hushed in death, and their bodies are mouldering in the silent grave. The question often comes up: ‘‘ Where are the men to fill these breaches in the ranks ?” Where isthe Priest, Minister or Layman competent totake their places? Not spas- modic temperance talkers and time-serving

politicians, but men—men who would dare to Hing poliey to the winds, and who are pre- | pared, if necessary, as they were gladly, to ‘suffer contumely and insult for that which | they believed to be right. In reading Wed- | nesday’s AXAMINER, 1 was encouraged to be- | lieve that we have at least one who will spare neither voice nor pen in the present temperance campaign. I wish to say a few words on the new Codge of the liquor sellers to render the Scott Act unpopular by giving out free ram to every poor creature that will drink it. But I will reserve this for another letter.

ELECTOR, -_s.— —-

Sund ay Shaving.

Sir,—Is there a bye-law compelling all hair dressing saloons to keep closed on Sunday’s, and if so, why is it that that law is not put in force. There are some hair- dressers in this city who open their saloons every Sunday morning, and have a regular Sunday trade. Now, this is not fair to those of us who keep closed, and if a few saloons are allowed to keep open, we may as well all open. Sunday shaving in this city is not a necessity; as a general rule we are open until eleven or twelve o'clock Saturday night’s, and there is not such a rush on Saturday’s in any of the saloons but that all customers can be attended to. Yes, and twice as many more. Therefore, I think it would be advisable for the proper authorities to look up thecity bye-laws and see if there is such a law, and if there is, notify all hair dressers and they can govern themselves accordingly.

An Infant Phenomenon in New- foundland.

' A wonderful large baby is on exhibition in St. John’s, Nfld.,and attracts a crowd of ‘visitors. Her name is Margaret Blanchard, She is a little over four years old, weigas 140 lbs., is four feet in height, her waist is forty inches in circumference, her shoulders measure all round 43 inches, the calves . of her legs 16 inches, and her neck 14, inches. She is perfectly healthy, lively, and all her members are quite proportional, Her features are pleasing, head and face large and well shaped, Should she live—and this is every way likely—she will probably, equal the celebrated Nova Scotia giantess. |

The father, a poor fisherman from White | | Bay, 1s a@ slight, thin man, not over 135 ‘pounds, and the mother was under the

middle size. Another singular thing is that

they have another baby seven months old, who is even larger and fatter, in proportion to its age than Margaret. The latter was} one of twins; the other died. The parents fare cousins. Here is something for the Barnums to speculate in.
