This meant that they would have io be bonght around 8c to allow the shipper a margin for his trouble, and, of durse, |e otters led to nothing.

It seems pretty evident, however, despite the heavy exports this summer, that the Englishmen have been eating the cheese more rapidly than many expected. Reports that there is little or no accumulation on the other side tend to confirm this belief, and with this fact in view muny in the trade consider cheese a purchase, even at the advance, and are acting accordingly. At any rate, the big slump that has been predicted from week to week seems a long time io materializing.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

— Siatisties show an increase of a million pounds in Britieh imports from Canada during the past halt year, and a decrease of £300,000 in exports. Canada is the only colony snowing an increase in exports to the motherland.

—Tie Washington correspondent of the Londen Daily Mail gives the inside reas- ons for the present craze to annex Hawaii. He writes :—“Hawaii has an outstanding debt of -ome $4,000,000, represented by

bonds 2t present worth t hirty cents on the onthe dollar, Ifshe were absorbed by the U sted States and this debt assumed, these bonds would at once go to par or

beyond. Now, it ha pens that t the bulk of these bonds are held by a coterie of our far-seeing old senators

up ov Capitol Hill. But further than the bood business, which is ouly a small matter of $4,000,000, the Sugar Trust

will soon want the annexation of Hawaii, and what the Sugar Trust wants it usually

gets. Claus Spreckles, the Sugar King of the Pacific Coast, and for many years the only rival of the Trust, has bad an option for a term of years on the Hawaiian sugar crop. He had aleo the benefit of the rec- iprocity clause of the Hawaiian treaty, which brought him his raw sugar at enconrsyingly low figures asto tariff.

But bis option is due to run out in a few months, and there has been a strung cry ip congress against the renewal of the reci- procity clause in the Hawaiian treaty, this clause being one of the essential feat- tures of the present tariff bill. TheSugar Trust i- realy to enter the lists with Spreck-

les, if need be, and bid doughtily for the next option on the Hawaiian crop, but,

naivraily, it does not want to pay duty on Hawaiian sugar. What is eimpler then than annexing Hawaii? Of course, the Sugar Trust wants it, and we usually give the Trust what it wants.”

Amongst the strangest of all phenomena may be included markable optical effect known

| mirage, or fata mergaxa. The cause which produces this singular and some- what rare spectacle is at present bat im perfectly understoud ; it is however as- sumed that an aqueous condition of the attnosphere must exist, sufficiently dense as to form a sort of mirror, more or less | concave, upon which the objects in the vicinity are reflected aud magnified, the apparent effect being that they are brought

appreciably nearer to the beholder. ‘The writer has on two occasions been fortunate in witnessing this phenomenon in the South of England. A considerable number of ships were sailing on the horizon, when gradually & most eXtra-

for

over each vessel appeared an inverted duplicate, a veritablo phantom ship, the |} top of the mainmast resting upon the | corresponding part of the real stip. As the vessel tacked, so the course of the phantom was altered: as a sail was lowered, so the phantom sailors, standing on their heads, lowered a phantom sail ; i every movement of the real = and | substantial vessel peing exactly imitated by its spectral companion; the one how ever, being apparently equally real and solid as the other.

This form of mirage occasionally happens in the desert ia a most tantalising manner, for the weary traveller sees, a short distance in front of bim, a beautiful oasis, palms waving in a_ refreshing breeze, which he feels not in the parching, sultry, heavy air, green grass on which he hopes to ceils his exhausted camels, pools of delicious water rippling in the moving air, to which he hurries on in order to assuage his burning thirst, and to bathe his heated and weary limbs. Eagerly he presses forward, impeiu ous for a draught o° that cool and grateful liquid, when to his distnay and hopeless despair be finds thatit was all but a tantalizing illusion, that has faded away into nothing, dashing all his hopes of pleasure to the ground, and leaving him to plod his weary way over the hot, burn- ing sand. And do vot very many of us in our pursuit of pleasure exactly repeat this traveller’s experience, and find tnat the pleasure we had been eagerly pursuing, to the eternal ruin of soul and body, was but an insubstantial mirage, which eluded our ardent grasp, and left us a pant’ng and ea- hausted wreck, ruined both for this world aad for the next ? But there are pleasures, solid and lasting pleasures, so ecstatic that the mind of man is incapable even of

conceiving their overwhelming — glory, which are accessible to all who care to possessthem. And the only way to se-

cure an inheritance to those pleasures is to “ Fear God and keep His commandments,” tbe atonement made once for all by the the Saviour of the world being a sure and absolute passport to all who will but accept it.

HE'S A BRICK,

In this heading slang? Well, it is a very ancient form of slang. The mean- ing is given us by Plutarch iv his “ Life of Agesilaus, King of Sparta.

On acertain occasion an ambaszador from Epirus, on a diplomatic mission, was shown by the king oyer capital. The ambassador knew of the monarch’s fame—knew that, though nominally only King of Sparta, he was ruler of Greece — and he had looked tosee massive walls rearing aloft their embattled towers for the defence of the city, but found nothing of the kind. Hemarvelled much at this, and spoke of itto the king. Sire said he, “ I have visited most of the principal! towns, and I find no walls reared for de- fence. Why is this?” “ Indeed, Sir Ain, bassador, “ replied Agesiians, “ thou canst not have looked carefully’ Come with me to- morrow morning. and I will show you the wall of Sparta. accordingly, on the following morning, the king led his guest out upon the plain, where his army was drawn upin fall array, and pointing proudiy to the patriots he said :“ There ; thou bzholdest the walls of Sparta, 10,000 | men, and every man a brick.”

2o-+er+e Deafness.

It has been stated that three persons ont of every five in this country who have attained the age of 40 years are more or less deaf in one or both ears. A large proportion of this deafness is caused by catarrh, and medical treat- ment for difficulty of hearing is usually directed to the catarrhal source. In Eu- rope much of the deafness is hereditary. Dr. James Kerr Love of Glasgow re- cently read a paper on deafness before the Royal society of Edinburgh, from which it appears that congenital deaf- ness may be either hereditary in the di- rect line or in collateral branches, and that it depends on not one, but many anatomical defects. Intermarriage of deaf persons perpetuates but does rot accentuate the tendency of deafness, The hearing brothers and sisters of deaf mitites us likely to have deaf mute ofispring as if they had been deaf mutes themselves. Consanguinity of parcuts emphasizes family cefects, and in this way Inapy caces of congcuital deafness occur Cuc cf the mast singular points of Dr. Lene’ 8 papcr was the assertion that the state had the right to control the nrerriage ef persons belonging te timilies badly tainted with deafness.

QUEER LIBRARY FREAKS.

Fanny Requests For Books That Amuse and Amaze Employees,

Once in awhile the clerks in the pub-

lic library get hold of a good joke

through the ignorance of people who

come there to take out books. It was not long ago that a woman who was

anxious to join the Daughters of the American Revolution came there to look up her family history and get her facts and claims ready to submit to the committee on membership. She went about it. in rather a queer way. After looking about aimlessly through the in- dex for atime she discovered ‘' Lossing’s Family History of the United States.’

She wrote her request for the books on one of the cards provided for that pur- pose and was quite indignant with the clerk who handed it to her because it did not contain what she wanted.

It was not Jong after this incident that another woman, who, from her

dress and appearance, the clerks thought, might be literary, wrote on one of the cards a request for ~The Autocrat of

the Breakfast Table,’’

‘*Holmes’ ‘Autocrat, politely asked the clerk.

‘‘Oh, I don’t care whose it is,’’ was the reply. ‘‘I only want to find out if it is proper to use toothpicks at the break- fast table.’’

Another request for a magazine which the applicant said was called Brain kept one of the clerks busy hunting half az hour before he discovered that what was wanted was the magazine called Mind. Still another clerk was shock- ed the other day by a request for Wash- ington Irving’s ‘‘Alabama.’’ The clerk mildly suggested ‘‘Alhambra.’’—Chi- cago 'Times-Herald.
