REFRIGERATOR CAR SERVICE.

Proresson Ronerr-on has given to the press a letter bearing upon the refrigerator car service which: it would be well for creamery men “#od all others interested to ponder over very csrefuliy. Professor Roberteon poiote out that the prevailing hot weather pute the refrigerator car ser~ vice gto a severe test and makes it imper- ative that shippers and others concerned «hould guard against the possibility of butter becoming beated at the creamery ,on be way tothe

before it is placed in the car.

Butter, he poiate out, should be takem to the cars as6.0n as possible from the creamery for every bour that it i# exposed to the heat means so much de- terioration which cannot be corrected.

imely article upon this

WRITER in Companion has a important subject. The writer intimates that where early hours give warping of a day of great heat, ‘he most sensible thing to do is to plan forthwith some really ab- sorbing occupation to fil the hours of trial. While in the main it is well to re~ gerd sumtoer time as the proper season for pleasant idling, when temperature condi- tions become intolerable the surest refuge is congenial and absorbing occuration. The antidote that stands nextis a deeply interesting book. Who has not forgotten entirely the without when immersed in pages which for a ‘ime make us a part of scenes and a life notourown. When would escape ourrelves a book is indeed

we anally. Good co:npany is pointed to as another beguiler of dragging bours and alverse conditions, and the * hottest day of the season” may leave in its trata the pleasantest memor es of a summer, if spent friend oor friends, It is never wise to dispute right of way

with congenial w th forces absolutely superior to oui selves. When we find ourselves in mental collision with such forces, the only sensi- ble thing to do isto face about and try to goin the samedirection with them with what gracionsness we can command. If instead of grambling about the heat and feequent)y consulting the thermometers with a view of justifying our groanings, etc.,we keep in mircd the fact that on such heat our health, happiness and material well-bein.;depead—as it does— we must be unreasonable indeed if we ‘ail to be reconciled to the passing discomfort it entails.

SPAIN’S LOSS OF EMPIRE.

Ir is pointed ont by an exchange that upoa bis accession to the Span‘sh throne in 1556, PhilipII. feund bimself ruler of empire the

the greatest world had seen since Rome was at the zenith of its power. Its navies were famous for their greatness and they ruled the ocean ; its armies were famous for their prow2ss,—she swayed the destinies of Europe, had possessions in all the continents, nod may be said to have owned the Americus, South, The Spanish empire, the same exchange points out, was the result of marriages, conquest and discoyerics; its decline and fall may be ascribed to the ruthless charac- tar of the Spanish people. When Columbus discovered San Domingo*it had a popula- tion of 2,000,000; io 1530 this population

North and

had dwindled to 350,000. Cortez in Mexico and Pizarro in Peru’ were ideal Spanish souquerors. *hilip

dependencies in North Africa, and eariy

Ceylon, Java and other islands; in 1640° Portug i); in 1648 a | claims were resounc~ eito Holland, Brabant, and parts of Flanders; in 1649 were lost Maestriabt, Hertogenbosh, Breda, Bergen-op Zoon, and mauy other fortresses in the Countries, in which year the crown tacitly surrendered supremacy on the seas to northern Europe,

THE PROFESSOR IS ALL RIGHT.

The Moncton Transcript says that if | Provessor Robertson has been writing in | ievur Of a preferential imperial duty on wheat “the government should dispence with his services,” as the advocacy of prc- tection **in its most pernicious form” should not be permitted ia a government Official. Well, the fact is that Professor Roberteon has eo written. Another fact is that Mr. Fisher will not dispense -with bis services. Mr. Fisher could not get along without Mr. Robertson, who is the inspiration and intellect of the department. Besides Mr, Fisber and Protessor Robert- son are in England togetber, and there. is little doubt that Mr. Fisberis a consent~ ing party to the letter and its doctrine, as he has beeu to jthe other excellent letters which Mr. Robertsou is preparing for the British press. Again, this “protection in its mOst pernicious form” is the eame that Sir Wilfrid Laurier some two years ago advocated in Canada and promised to ad- vocate in England. he premier broke his word and got a Cobden Ciub medal! for it, but prefereatial trade would uot be the more pernicious On that acconnt.—St. Johu Sua.

Mr A V Voss, of Vose & Haskell, Gloucester, Maes., is visiting this city, He is the guest of Mr J Murphy, Kent St.

Messrs 8S A McLeod, Daniei McLeod and WA Huestis were passengers -by the Labrador which arrived at Liverpoo! yes- terday.

Mr. John Port, leader and banjo soloiet of the Boston Y. M. C. A., with hia wife arrived on the Halifax. They will be guests for the next month of Mr andMrsJ J Desmond of the West Royalty.

—The Halifax Herald asks what is the good of holding a plebiscite or taking the people’s opinion on the eubject of probi bition when Sir Wilfrid Laurier positively refused to grant any assurance that the government would give legisiative effect to that opinion? Of courre, if a plebiscite is to be taken, it is proper that the peop’e should besur themselves, acd that every elector should vote on the question, Otherwise the plebiscite would misrepre~ sent the people, and this is a thing to be carefully avoided.

THE O'CONNELL CELEBRATION.

Parade Last Evening, Followed by a Concert.

The O’Connel! anniversary falling upon Saturday this year,i: was decided to post- pone the celebration unt'l Monday evening. upon which occasion the Benevolent Irieh Society and the Ancient Order of Hi- ‘bervians would be joined by the Bevewokot Irieh Society of Emerald. The celebration came eff as decided upon and proved most successful, cotwithstacding the slight raise which began to fall shortly before six

o'clock. the members of the Benevolent Irish Sos ciety left their hall, headed by the League uf the Cross Band, aod marched to the railway station, by way of Queen and Water Streets, the Hiberoians jomingt hem at their own quarters. At the railway station they were met by the Emerald men whoaerrived by special train, aud the procession was reformed and marched to the Opera House. Tue procession was in charge of Chief Marshal Campbell, andthe brethern presented a splendid appearance. "he streets along the route of the procer~ sion were well filled with people.

The entertainment in the Opera House was largely attended. The stage was tastefully fitted up, and Irish emblems were in evicence in various parts of the hall The programme rendered on the occasion was as follows :

the programme was that evidently met

SOug.....s.

Every number on rendered in @ manner

with tbe approval of the endience. The applause was generous,

end in almost every instance an encore had to be acknowledged. The favcrites of for- mer concerts al] did well, and the new per- formers made excellent impressions. Mr J

Lawlor Woods, of Toronto, delighted e-eryone with his excellent render- ing of two songs; and the recitations

by Miss Doran and Miss Petrie evidenced the possession of good elocutionary ability which it would be well to still further cultivate, Thetheme of Mr. Gaffaey’s address was “Daniel O’Connell,” and the excellent work done in the intereste of Ireland and Irishmen by this eminent [rishman was pointed out in an interesting way. ‘* Thomas Moore’ was the sub- ject of Mr. MzCourt’s remarke, and the poems of the Lrish bard were referred to in a highly complimentary manner, especial meation being made cf tose bearing upon Canada and Canadian scenes.

After the concert the visiting members of the Benevolent Irish Society and some diher friends were entertained at luncheon in the Opera House, and an hour or two was pleasantly pas:ed. At one o’clock this moruing the visitors were escorted to the railway station by the local Irishmen and the League Band, and left for home well pleased with the manoer in which they had been entertained.

LADIES ITS LINES ARE ALL TRUE

Fit and comfort go hand in hand. A perfect fitting corset permits of perfect freedom of movement with the minimum of pressure, draw and _ strain. Its fit all over is highly flexible where it shouid be and less so at points where it should not be, such a corset outwears all others and never breaks at the waist. True lines are essential to eleg- ance and fit. An error in any of these lines resultsin positive misery to the wearer. The lines of the celebrated

we:

tailor cut, hand sewed French corsets, are scientificaliy true. They are the lightest, cool- est, most fashionable and com- fortable corset made. At al! dry goods stores in all sizes and for all figures, $]. to
