Toronto, Dee. 9.—The World, in an editorial on Blake’s speech, says be ba- pat bis foot in it again, and = trusts for ibe last time, as far as this couotrge is concerned. It describes his speech as “‘doleful and despairing, conceited and ultra—humauitarian, peace at any price tone of little Eaglander,” and as “* Blake all over aod Blake at his worst.” The World prophesies that Blake will do for the Irish cause what he has done for Imperial federation.

Spekiog of the big prices occasionally pa'd for the first choice of seats at potable performances, the fact ie recalled that a New York batter paid $225 fcr the first choice of a seat at Jenny Livdd’s first. con cert in Custle Gardene in 1850. This wae

Oe of the uses of the civil service at Ovtawa has been on receipt of telegraphic communication from McGill University to go out and fire the noon gun. Unfortunate- ly the gentlemen who fired the gun did aot alway~ get around to it in exactly the same time, and the consequences was that the offici.! timekeeper was a little less accurate than an ordinary watch. Now modern arrangements are to be established and the gus will be fired from Montreal, by ccm - pleting an electric cireuit, which ought to have Leen done long ago.
Kansas politics are not withont their sweet: esa, In the sworn returns of election expenses the Republican candidate for district atteurney makes return ofthe ex- pesdiiure of $100 for “‘cigare, cards, candies and other refreshmente.” Even here cigare are wel] undestood as part of every up-to-date candidate’s ammunition, but “cards and candies” are entirely novel items in apolitical canvas. Probably the Kaneas politican regales the ladies with boo-bous and caramels, while he plays poker with their huebands and kisses the babies.
Mrs. Hettiy Green, the richeet woman in America, has some ecceotricities, but it cannot be denied that in the principles on which she bas reared her children she displays a remarkab!y well-balanced mind. Mrs. Green tells through the New York Journal the sort of match she expects her daughter to make, and her ideas are em- inently sensible. Wealth in her case confers freedom—freedom to choose the hest. She desires nothing in a son-in-law bat braine and character. It ie curious that so few rich parents realize their privileges in thie regard. Most of them are more hampered by their wealth than they would be by the lack of it.

THE KAFFIR OFF DUTY.
South African Mine Laborers Lead a Mo- notonous Life.
The report of a traveler fresh from the Cape gives acurious insight into one phase of labor on the Rand. It used to be the custom of the Kafiir, on receiving his. sal- ary—usually $5 per week—te sally forth and invest all his earnings in bottles of brandy. He would then return to his hut, squat down and drink it like beer until he succumbed, This went on regularly among the mining staffs of all the large companies until, in order to prevent » weekly cessation of labor, the éompanies adopted the mcthod of inclosing all their native employees inside a compound and shutting them in like prisoners until their tix, of service had clapced,
itors to the com; “unds often take in @ pound or s0 of the native coarse tebacco, for a handful of which the Kaffirs, under stress of their deprivation of tobacco as well as liquor, will often gladly exchange fine old native bracelets and knobkerries. The native method of smoking is peculiar, After the pipe is filled several long pulls are taken and the smoke swallowod. ‘The bow] is then taken off, the stem is inserted in a bow! of water and the water is sucked threugh it and swallowed aleo. Then cSnies the tug of war. The man who can hold out longest without coughing is con- sidered a hero. Aftera short time the smoker will convulsively cough for 15 or 20 minutes and one can quite understand why the Kaffir is not allowed out to buy tobacco. In the case of the traveler who gives these detunils the mine manager asked him to cease bartering the vile stuff for native trinkets; otherwise the whol« relay would be unfit to go down when its time came.
The Kaffir usually returns home after six months or a year at the mines and is considered a rich man. He buys two or more wives and takes his ease while they do all the work.—Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Trade Secret.
The teacher had been explaining to the boys on two or three occasions during the week the sources of our food supply and various processes connected with the prejr aration of certain products. At the end of the week he held an elementary examina- tion to see how much of the information his pupils had retained.
‘‘Now, White, how is coffee prepared?”’
White fidgeted about, but did not answer.
“I am rather surprised at you,’’ ex- elaimed the teacher. ‘“‘I thought you would have remembered that, being the son of a grocer! How isit you do not know?’’
‘*Please, sir, I do know,’’ replied the boy hesitatingly. c
‘Then why don't you answer?’’ asked the teacher sharply. ‘‘Come, answer at once. ”’
“IT mustn't,’ cried the boy desperately.

Kien Long and His Physicians.
There used to be related a curious anec- fote of old Kien Long, emperor of China. He was inquiring of Sir George Staunton the manner in which physicians were paid sn England. When after some difficulty his majesty was made to comprehend the system, he exclaimed:
“Is any man well in England that can afford to be ill? Now I will inform you.” said he, ‘‘how I manage my physicians. I have four, to whom the care of my health is committed. A weekly salary is allowed them, but the moment I am ill the salary stops till I am well again. I need not inform you that my illnesses are
usually short.’’—Harper’s Round Taue

Then Her Love Grew Cold.
Not long servant living in Derbyshire gave notice to leave her situation, informing her mistress that she was about to be married. time drew near for leaving she addressed her mistress thus: ‘‘Please, mum, have vou got a girl yet?’ ‘‘No, Bridget. Why do you ask?’ ‘‘Because if you haven't I should like to stay.’’ ‘‘ What! I thought you were going to marry the chimney sweep!’’ ‘‘Oh, yes, ma’am,”’ replied Bridget hesitatingly, ‘‘but when I saw him after his face was washed I felt I couldn't love him. ’’—Answers

When the Ass Spoke to Him,
A doctor at one of the London hos- pitals was one day lecturing to a class of medical students, when he stopped and asked a question which for some time mone of them answered. But cne man, who had never answered a ques- tion before and was looked upon as the fool of the class, answered him cor- rectly. The doctor was astonished and starec| at the man in amazement.
‘*You lock surprised, sir,’’ said the student.
‘*So did Balaam,’’ was the doctor’s sharp reply. —Argonatt.
The Mad Mollah.
Todgers (with the evening paper)—I see the mad mollah is at it again.
Mrs. Todgers (who doesn’t read the papers)—I should say she was. She broke down the fence this afternoon and chased me half way to the trolley station.
‘*Wh-what are you talking about?’’
‘*Why, that mad mooley cow of Hop- wood's.’’—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
“Jollying” a King.
One day, when George IV was talk- ing about his youthful exploits before the Duke of Wellington, he boasted of having led a charge of cavalry down the Devil’s Dyke, near Brighton. Upon which the Duke of Wellington merely observed to him, ‘‘Very steep, sir.’’— Household Words.
