:0: o The Thin Edge of the Wedge Argument.

poets PRINCIPAL GRANT’S VIEWS.

In his speech at the closing exercises oi the Kingston Women’s Medical College, tev. Principal Grant said:—I wish to say afew words on two related subjects, not much in the line of direct argument, but as a contribution from our own his- tory. (1) May men and women sit in the same Class-rooms without either sex running any greater risk than has to be incurred in numberiess ways in connection with the daily free intercourse that is the character- istic of our civilization? So far as I have seen, the most formidabie argument against the proposed innovation is what is popu- laily known as ‘‘the thin edge of the wedge argument.” Weare told that this is one of the first steps in a great social revolo- tion, and that we should put our foot down now, unless we wish to see the present relation of the sexes destroyed. I have heard too much of that style of argu- mentin church courts to have much respect for it. People who have been again and again solemnly warned that the practice of stariding to sing o1 the use of an organ, or the introduction of an hymnal, or the recital of the Creed or the Lord’s Prayer, is the first movement on an inclined plane that leads of necessity to Popery, get into a Labit of discussing a thing on its own merits, The ‘'thin end of the wedge argument” implies that common sense is dead, or that at any rete it will be dead in afew years. But I wish to look at this question in the Jight of the actual state of the case in Ontario rather than from the point of view of theorists or the practice of other countries. During the last few months men have been quoting facts from a distance in that delightfully general way that indicates possession of information at second or third hand, without taking the trouble to ascertain the facts that are at their own doors. What, then, is the state of the case, so far at the Faculty of Arts in Queen's is concerned! Beginning with one female student ten yesrs ago, we had four in 1881, five in 1882, seven in 1883,

CURRENT NOTES.

f The epithets of the week have been the aera of Gladstone by Ruskin as an “old wind-bag who uses his spletdid gifts lof oratory, not for the elucidation of his | subject, but fer its vaporization in a eloud lof words,” while the Iorld calls Lord Salis- | bury the Schopenhauer of polities.

| It is not comforting to those who eszayed the business of beet root sugar manufacture in Canada and lest money on it, to find the German manufactures making very large profits and exporting raw sugar to Canada, A steamer, which arrived at Halifax last month from Hamburg, brought 9,000 sacks of raw beet sugar.

The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher says: From out of the North, men with strong muscles and sinews come firth to capture the South. From out of the North come

the cold winds, says the Scripture; fron out of the North come men, say I. Carlyle says, ‘‘when tke snow

fails, men childien are born.” Effeminate youth don’t snoke cigarettes in the teeth of a Manitoba blizzzard.

Shipment of dairy produce and provisions from Montreal from the beginning of the year up to the 16tn April, show an increase in exports of beef, bacon, dressed hogs, tallow and cheese, with a decreage in those of butter, lard and pork. The quantities of principal items were: cheese 63,329 boxes ogainst 46,135 last year; packed meats, 19,003 packages against 17,819; butter 13,- 767 boxes, against in J883 same time, 22,316.

Dr. Cyrus Edson, of the New York Board of Health has been analyzing sam- ples of ‘‘essence of coffee’ used by poor families and boarding- house keepeis in that city. The preparation contains, among other things, dried bleed, chicory, very poor coffee and powdered licorice. The doctor will, it is said, lay his analysis be- fore the board, that criminal proceedings may be instituted against the manufac- turers of the stuff.

A. Paul, of Brownsburg, Que., wes a farmer. In 1577 he sold his farm and started in the generai store businers, and it is only fair to preseme that he has wished himself out of it many times since, xs his experience has been far from a pleasing one. Through giving credit too freely he has al- ways been more or less slow, and in the spring of 1883 he was compelled to assign. The estate was bought in by a friend and re-transferred to him, but in December last he was so unfortunate as to be burnt out. Now he is offering fifty cente cash, and will likely go out of the business.

The mausoleum at Windsor, in which the Duke of Albany was buried, was erected by Henry VII., and given in grant by Henry VIEL. to Wolsey. When Wolsey fell from power it returned to the Crown, and was fitted by Charles L. as a royal tomb’ house, The present royal vault was not, however, built until the reign of George Il], The vault is arched, the ce.tre being ceeupied by a long quadrangvlar sleb of stone. Phe following royal personages bave been in- terred there: Two* sons of George HT.., Princes Octavius and Alfred; the Duchess of Brunswick, the Princesses Adelaide and Elizabeth, daughters of the Duke ef Clar- ence; Prince Harold, infant son of the Prince and Princess Christian, who died in 1776; the Princess Amelia, in 1810; the Princess Charlotte, in 1817; Queen Char- Lotte and the Duke of Kent, in 1820; George 11I., in 1827; the Duke of York, in 1830; George IV., in 1830; William 1V., in 18587; Princess. Augusta; im 1840; QOneen Ade- ilaide, in 1849; and George V., of Hanover, in 1878.

The question of the supply and cost of fuel is a most important one for Manitoba and the North West. The lessees of the Saskatchewan mine at Medicine Hat, a station on the C. P. R., 500 miles west of Brandon, are procuring appliances for re- ducing the cost of mining, and expect to be able to deliver this lignite coal on the cars io Winnipeg at $7 per ton, which they think will place it beyoud the competing power of wood, To bring it into general use, how- ever, they must provide the people with the proper kind of stove to burn it. The Sree Press states that the Northwest Fuel Co. is erecting appliances at Port Arthur for the receiving and handling of American coalj on a large scale. The company pro- fesses to have ‘‘contracied for a lerge pro- portion of their lake tonnage at about ene dollar per ton, and say they are prepared to book orders for the best anthracite cecal, on arrival of 1884 craft. at $10.50 here (Winnipeg) per ton, and the best soft coals at $950. They look for Weetern native cecal to reduce the quantity coming from the East.”

The Montreal Gazette remarks that the present time appears to be an an opportune one for placing a loan in England, end says that the Finance Minister, who leaves for London next month to dispose of the new loan of £3,000,000 authorized at the late session of Parliament and to arrange for the conversion of the maturing £6,000,000 of 5. per cent. into 4 per cent. bonds, will probably find no difficulty in readily succeeding in his missior. The favor in which colonial securities are held is illustrated by the result of a recent loan of Natal. The amount offered was £1,130,200 at a minimum price of 98, and although doubts were entertained of the success of the venture, owing to the idanger of political complications in

Africa and the difficulties at- ltending the development of that
