litorial Notes,
The total British Exports to the col- onies have increased from £36,000,000 in 1887 to £40,000,000 in L888, and the im- ports from the colonies bave increased from £43,000,000 to £46,000,000,
- lt is very satisfactory, indeed, to note that the apple trade between Canada and (jreat Britain has been a profitable off to all concerned. Twenty years ago the ex- port from Canada io Great Britain amount- ed to only $44,406 bris; in 1872 it had reached $139,687 ; in 1882 it was $372,582 ; in 1886, $410,898 ; and last year it attained a value of $649,182.
It is stated by an electrical journal that no less than 80,000 small motors have been sold by different companies within the past year, and that 4,000 others are in course of construction to meet the in- ereasing demand. These motors range from one-half horse power to ten horse power, but it is simply for doing light work in printing offices, machine shops, shoe and box factories, book binderies, knitting works, bottle washing, pumping, lathes and ice cream freezers, coffee mills, organs, ete., that they have been brough* into use.
~The great value of Manitoba to Canada is made apparent by the statement recently issued by the Winnipeg Board of Trade concerning the grain yield of the province last year. The total wheat crop is placed at 14,000,000 bushels, of which 8,500,000 bushels were exported to Europe and East- ern Canada, 2,600,000 bushels coaverted into flour in Manitoba, 1,100,000 bushels used as seed, 1,200,000 bushels in dealers’ hands, and the balance is unthreshed or in store at interior points. The crop was cul- tivated by 16,000 farmers; the average yield peracre was 324 bushels, and the average product per farmer 875 bushels.
ThefParnell-Ti:nes libelsuit is not tocome up for trial until November. The amount of damages claimed is £50,000. It is sur- mised that when Mr. Parnell is asked to testify before the commission he will re- fuse on the ground that if he gave evidence there he would prejudice his suit gainst the Times. The Lendon Daily News, in the course of a recent reference to the suit, says: ** Mr. Parnell’s skill and courage are far beyond the reach of Mr. Goschen or Mr. Balfour. He can always checkmate them when he gives his mind te the game. If on this occasion he succeeds in driving « coach and six thrvugh the Times Protection Act they will probably give him a very wide berth in fucure.”

A Striking Scene.
In its report of the fire which destroyed the greater portion of that immense build- ing, the convent of the Sacred Heart, the New York Herald says: .‘‘ About 9.30, when the fire was its hottest, and the scene on the ground the most weird and exciting, a remarkable incident occurred. The altar of the chapel, which was situated in the old wing, was moved by main force to the north duor, apparently with the intention of saving some portion of it. The chapel was crowded. by the sisters and their assist- ants, every lip trembling with silent prayer as they listened to the roar of the awful body of flame outside. At this moment Fr. Doherty ascended the altar and stretched out both lis arms as a signal to those around him. Dropping en their knees, the faith- ful sisters listened to the impassioned prayer of the priest as he made an earnest invocation to the Almighty to stretch forth his arm and save the edifice so long conse- erated and sanctified to His worship. The priest's face was illumined by the red light vf the tire, and as he cast his eyes to heaven they were full of agonized tears, while the pitiful sobbing of the nuns lent additional solemnity to the pathetic and striking scene. But it was too late, for a moment after the flames entered the chapel, and the police insisted upon both the priest and the nuns leaving it. With bowed heads and heavy hearts they submissively obeyed the stern but merciful mandate, and in a few moments the altar before which they had, bowed in anxious supplication fell a victim to the devouring element.” I ete Gents Attention !—I have just opened a lot of Boots and Shoes, which were bought at a large reduction from the original cost, among which ave three lines of men’s Jaced boots.

William 11 of Germany has completed his round of visits and has. gone home to Berlin, where, in his absenee, the Empress has presented him with a fifth son, 80 that he need not now fear for the continuance of the dynasty. With five ** butresses to the throne” of his own, and with his brother Prince Henry's possible offspring, the House of Hohenzollern, seems as little likely to die out as that of the Guelphs. The Emperor's visit to Copenhagen was of the briefest description. He just had time for a drive, luncheon, a glance at the Scan- divnavian Exhibition, and a state dinner. It is stated that the Queen of England, in- tends to pay a visit to Baden in the autumn, when a meeting will be arranged between her grandson and herself; also that the Emperor will leave his card on the Emperor of Austria and the King of Italy early in October. By that time nearly all the sovereigns of Europe will know the new mighty Emperor to speak to. The ouly other item of foreign news is the in- terview which the King of Servia has grant- ed to the correspondent of a Vienna paper. The King makes out a very fair story of his dealings with the Queen, but of course it is only an ex parte statement. The main point of the interview seems to have been his desire to let Austria know that he relies on her, and that he has done all in his power to thwart the designs of Russia.
1 am glad to see that the report of Dr. Isainbert Owen to which I referred last week has been grandly challenged, and es- pecially by Dr. Norman Kerr, a well known authority upon the effect of alcoholic stimu- lants. He urges that the small number of deaths reported on and the method of the iavestigation have presented little basis for general deduction. I imagine, also, that temperance reformers are not in a hurry to challenge every set of figures put forth by individual committees or associations, even if they are entitled to sign themselves ‘** Medical” upon evidence which is not open to examination and cross-examination.

A correspondent asks, ‘* What is the symbolism of volley-firing over a soldier's grave /"’ All I have been able to find out about it is the Military Instructions which regulate the number and kind of arms used, according tothe rank of a soldier, from a general officer down to a drummer boy. Is it not the symbolism plain. Surely the custom wants no more explanation than the blacksmith’s epitaph :
** My fire’s out, my ironrun,
My last nail’s drove, and ] am done.” Life is full of ** sound and fury signifiy- ing nothing,” and the life of a soldier most of all. He seeks ‘the bubble reputation een inthe cannon’s mouth,” and it is highly appropriate that he should get his epitaph from a musket barrel. His empty celebrity is conferred out of the mouth of that instrument with which he would have sent other men to grim oblivion. What can be more just? It might be a point of curiosity to know how soon after the disuse of bows and arrows the practice
was introduced.

I have heard different reasons given why the wedding ring is placed on the fourth finger of the left hand. Lately I came across an extract from a rare old work by ** Master Henry Swinburne,” called ‘* A Treatise on Spousals,” written in the year 1595, from which I give the following ex- tract, showing what our forefathers thought upon the matter :—
‘* It matters not at this day what metal the ring be; the form of the Ring being circalar, that is roand, and without end, importeth this much, that their mutual love and hearty affection should roundly flow from the one to the other, as in a circle, and that continually and forever; the Finger on which this Ring is to be worn is the fourth Finger of the left hand, next unto the little Finger; because by the re- ceived Opinion of the Learned and Experienced in Ripping up and anatomizing Men's Bodies, there is a Vein of Blood which passeth from that fourth Finger unto the Heart, called Veno Amoris, Love's Vein, and so the wearing of the Ring on that Finger signifieth that the love should not be vain or fained, but that as they did give their hands each to other, so likewise they should give their Hearts also, whereunto the Vein is extended.” __

I am very glad to see that a collection of the poems of Miss Veley has been publish- ed. Many of them have appeared in Eng- lish magazines and to me they seem touch- ingly beautiful, Her early death has de- prived us of a poet of no ordinary merit. I do not know why it is, but it undoubtedly is the case—that it is very difficult to attain celebrity in poetry—but Miss Veley is far above the average, and Iam sure had she lived and become more widely known, her verses would have ranked with the best that women have written. I do not know whether any of your readers have read her poem ‘* First and Last,” spoken by a dying wife to her husband—which appeared some time age. It is very sad, and especisliy.in the striving for faith in the life which lies beyond the grave. Over all her poems that I have seen there hangs a shadow. Perhaps this cannot be avoided, for I im- agine that poetry—true poetry— must par- take somewhat of the clouds which dim the sunshine to all imaginative natures. I select one of her poems which is a good ex- ample of her power of appreciating deep feeling. It is called ‘*‘ Mother and Child,” and is spoken of a dead child :— ** They are weary who are wise,
He looked up with happy eyes,
Little knowing, little seeing,
Only praising God by being,
Oh the life we could not save !
Do not say, above his grave,
That the fair and darling face
Was but lent a little space,
Till the Father called him back,
By an unknown homeward track.
No, though death came darkly chill,
Bade the beating heart be still,
Touching him with fingers cold—
What was given still we hold ;
Though he died as died the flowers,
He for evermore is ours.
Ours, though we must travel soon,
Onward through life’s afternoon ;
Shadows, falling long and gray,
Gather round the western day,
And our twilight visions show
How the years shal! come and go.
Little maids, with tangled curls,
Change to slender dreamy girls,
Chubby rogues grow tall, and then
Go their way as learned men.
And the mother stands aside,
With an ache beneath her pride,
And a sorrow mid her joys,
For the vanished babes and boys ;
So the earlier gladness wanes—
But the little one rémains.”
