‘WE KXAMINER.

CHARLOTT ‘TOWN, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND,

Economizing on the Intercolonial. |

The Intercolonial Railway staif is to be re-adjusted and the expenses cut down. The excess of the road’s expenditure over | its revenue, under the late Government | and Mr. Brydges, during the Jast two years, | amounts to over eleven hundred thousand dollars. Dr. Tupper has set himself vigor- ously to the task of retrenching the enor- ! mous expenditures of the Grits. The office | of General Superintendent is to be abolished and a Chief Superintendent, with head- quarters at Moncton, is to be appointed, who is to be directly responsible for the eflicient management of the road. The agencies at Halifax, St. John, Montreal and Teronto, are to be abolished, and the sale of tickets at these points will be made on commission. A travelling agent will be appointed, whose duties will in- clude the visiting of all business points, the instructing the officers, and the watching and directing of the general freight and passenger business of the country, with the view of securing for the Intercolunial all possible traftic. In the Paymaster’s De- partment there will be but one cashier, one paymaster and one clerk. The Chief Super- intendent will be also the auditor, respon- sible to the Government for the proper auditing of all accounts. The bridges will be inspected by the engineering staff. The office of inspector will be abolished. The superintendent’s and four assistant super- intendents’ oftices will be abolished, and a chief superintendent, with two district su- perintendents, will take their places. There will also be some changes in the train des- patchers’ offices. It is expected that the saving to be effected by this careful reor- ganization—the chief points only of which have been indicated— will not be less than $40,000 or $50,000 per annum.

Domestic Life.

(London World. )

lt is the disintegration of domestic life which is the worst feature of our times. | Fathers and mothers cannot live on the terms of domestic partnership without the influence of the relation reacting upon their offspring. Children are petted, shown off, made much of, bedressed, bedizened, fon- dled, and then despatched to their own quarter of the house. They are ot cared for and educated—the word has ouly to do with instruction—as thoy used to be when family life was not entirely inconsistent with a discharge of the duties ef fashion- able society. The parents being as they are, what else could the children be expect- ed to prove? And when the children in turn become parents, what then! What manner of jfathers and mothers are the husbands and wives of the future, who are now in the nursery, destined to prove ?

The Trade in Horses.

A Montreal dispatch says the horse trade is very brisk at present, owing to the de- mand for shipment to the United States. On Wednesday 95 horses, costing $7,482.25, were sent across the lines from that city. The stables of the American house are full of horses which have been bought for the American market. Some fifteen or sixteen choice French Canadian horses have been bought by Ross & Benson, of Winnipeg, who are there at present purchasing two car loads ef horses to take to Manitoba.

How to Prevent CoLtps.—The Popular Science Monthly gives good advice in regard to the prevention of colds. The mistake is often made of taking great care to put on extra wraps and coats when preparing for out-door exercise. This is not at all neces- sary in robust persons. Sufticient heat to prevent all risk of chill is generated in the body by exercise. The care should be taken to retain suflicient clothing after ex- ercise, and when at rest, to prevent the heat passing out of the body. Indeed, per- sons very often catch chills from throwing off extra clothing after exercise, or from sit- ting about in garments, the material of which is not adapted to prevent the radia- tion of heat from the body.

How. to Wasn Hare-BrusHes.—It is best to clean two ata time, in this way: First comb them well, to remove the loose hair or dust; then dip the bristles only in very warm water, sprinkle each brush with plenty of powdered borax, and rub the two together; after they are thoroughly cleansed have a pitcher of hot water and pour it over the bristles. Keep the back of the brush as dry as possible. Shake the water well out and dry quickly in the sun. Brushes washed in this way will retain their stiffness.

English Radical papers draw attention to the pictures of extreme poverty and im- mense riches presented in England. Pro fessor Kirk, of Edinburgh, says there are 70,000 souls in the east end of London whe must emigrate speedily or perish. In the vast hives of industry in Lancashire there are a great number who must also emigrate or die. In the United Kingdom eight per- sons own more than 220,000 acres each. Forty-one own more than 100,000 each. The Duke of Sutherland owns nearly one million and a half acres in Scotland. Rus- kin says: ‘Though England is deafened with spinning wheels, her people have no clothes; though she is black ‘with digging coal, her people have no fuel, and they die of cold; and though she has sold her soul

for gain, they die of hunger.

The Chinese liken a drunkard’s nose to a lighthouse, warning us of the little water that passes underneath.

In 1875 only 702 catile were imported into England from the United States, while in 1878 the number was 50,000.

Hood, in describing the meeting of a mau and a lion, said :—‘‘The man ran off with all his might, and the lion with all his mane.”

The Lientenant Governors of Quebee, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the the other Provinces, have been invited by the Governor General to a grand dinner at Rideau Hall, on the eve of the Session.

At a wedding recently, when the officiat- ing priest put to the lady the question, ‘¢ Wilt thou have this man to be thy wed- ded husband?’ she dropped the prettiest courtesy, and with a modesty which lent her beauty an additional grace, replied, “‘If you please.”’

A special cable from London to the Globe says: ‘* The honorary degree of L.l. D. was conferred upon Earl Dufferin by Trin- ity College, Dublin. The hall of the old College was filled by a most distinguished assemblage, and the Earl received a very warm welcome.”

The theory that periods of great commer- cial depression throughout the werld coin- cide with periods of solar inactivity, char- acterized by the absence of spots on the sun, is advocated in England by such dis- tinguished men of science as Professor Stan- ley, Jerons and Roscal.

‘‘Wedding nuptials” are spoken of by the Lebanon (Ky.) Times, which will do as a companion for “funeral obsequies.” But none of these approach the elaborate head- line of a Montreal paper about a dozen years ago: ‘‘Funeral Obsequies of a Late Military Officer.”

At least a million of people have gone

westward from New England in the last

few years and taken farms in the new Western States and Territories. The Bes- ton Journal says the great surplus of labor has thus. been in a measure relieved, and the community which buys manufactured goeds has been enlarged. There has been more activity in the eastern factories, and fewer people are seeking employment there.

Vick-REGAL EnGAGEMENTS.—The Gover- nor General and the Princess have made the following engagements for next month: Feb. 7—Annual Concert at Ottawa, Ladies’ College. Feb. 10—Musical Union at Cana- dian Institute. Feb. 11— Carnival at the Skating Rink. Feb. 15—M. Deseve’s Con- cert. Feb. 17—-Governor General’s Foot Guards’ Coneert. Besides the above, there is to be a State dinner on the 14th; a drawing-room on the 14th, and a State ball on the 19th.

The Chinese Ambassador has, it is said, instructions from his Government to de mand from Russia the surrender of the Kashgar insurgents who have taken refuge on Russian soil, and also the surrender of Kuldja, which has been annexed by Russia, as the Chinese maintain, contrary to the law of nations. It is stated that Russia is not prepared to stand out altogether on ‘the latter point; but that it proposes, in the event of giving way, to make the conces- sions dependent upon repayment of the full amount of the cost inc for its military operations by the Chinese.

Since January 1, $90,000,000 of the 5-20 bonds of 1867, six per cent. interest, have been called by the treasury, or about one- fourth of the amount outstanding. They will be replaced by four per cent. bonds, and one-third of the interest will be saved. It is estimated that about $50,000,000 of the residue of these bonds aro held in Europe. These will be speedily brought back, for interest on them ceases shortly after they are called, and even if this were not so we should soon recall {the larger portion of them, with the balance of trade continuing in eur favor, as it bids fair to be.—Boston Globe.

English photographers avoid the strain on the sitter’s eyes, which usually results in a ghastly stare, by having a clock-face as the point to which they are directed, the eyes being allowed to travel slowly from the figure XII. all round. The rotatory movement of the eyeball in adapting itself, step by step, to the figures upon so small a circle at such a distance is so excessively fine as to cause no interference with the photographic process. The eyes are excel- lently well defined, even to the iris, and the pictures have a marked superiority over those previously taken in the manner. in which the details of the eyes are repro- duced. The sitters have expressed them- selves as not having had any strain upon their eyes.
