Paid Representatives. Some curious statistics have just been pub- lished concerning the salaries given to mem-

To begin with France, the senators and depu- ties receive the same remuneration—namely, £1 sterling a day. In Belgium each member of the Chamber of Representatives gets £17 a month. In Denmark the members of the Landsthing are paid about 15s aday. In Portugal the Peers and Commons are given the same sum, which is £67 a year. In Sweden the members of the Diet receive £65 for a ses- sion of four months, but they have te refund a fine of 18s for every day's absence. This is not a bad idea. In Switzerland the members of the National Council get 10s per diem, and those of the Council of States 6s to 10s. In the United States Congressmen are paid $5,000 per year, and 10 cents per mile for travelling to and from their constituencies. In Norway the members at the Storthin

receive 14s a day during the session, whic

lasts about six weeks. In Italy the senators and deputies are not paid, but they are allowed travelling expenses and certain privi- leges. In Spain the members of the Cortes are also unpaid but enjoy many advantages and immunities. In Greece the Senators get twenty pounds a year, and the deputies ten pounds. In Ger- many the representatives receive an average of 10sa day. In Austria the pay is the same agin France, £1 aday. England is the only country, where members of Parliament are not only unpaid, but have no rights or privi- leges. In Canada members of the Honse of Commons and senators are paid $1000 per session and travelling expenses to and from their home. In Ontario and Quebec members

For some time there 'seemesi to be good prospects that his enter- ‘prise would prove a complete success, He proclaimed himself the only true ameer, and presently found himself the leader ofa large army, all of whom heartily hated the govern- ‘ment, and therefore had _ considerable temporary love for their commander. He captured Candahar, and had the pleasure of , Winning nearly every engagement, until all o a sudden his excessively combative soldiers got up a general engagement on their own aceount. In this social fight about one-third of the army was destroyed, and the rest rush- ed away to the hills in about as many directions as there were prizes represented, vowing vengeance on each other aud everybody else. With the laudable desire of keeping his head in the position where nature had placed it, Ayoub made haste to get out of the country and into Persia. Here, at the request of England, he has remained a prisoner of state. But it now appears he has made his escape from Teherran, and gone no one can be \certain whither. Most likely the would-be- ;ameer is now on Russian territory. Before , long he will take an active part in Afghan ‘affairs. Those who have lately rebelled are all his friends, and he may sueceed in making the bloody confusion even worse that it is at

Chinese Affairs.

China, in many respects, is now adopting European manners and customs, and alse European appliances. In a few years, in time of peace, her affairs will be largely conducted along the lines of western civi- lization. In the matters of warfare she is | already closely following the models of England and Germany. But this old coun- try emerges from the gloom and darkness ‘of her antique institutions very slowly and |very reluctantly. Among other cumber- some affairs which nothing can induce the celestials to abandon is the peculiar form and marvellous number of characters that make up their alphabet. A goodly number 'of telegraph lines are now in thorough |running order, and after the operators get | used to the queer letters, business is tran- ‘sacted without any difficulty. About 7,000 characters are required for the ordinary, jevery day affairs of mercantile subjects. ‘In order to handle this vast foundation of jthe language the telegraph authorities | have had a book printed containing these characters, and numbered from 1 to 7,000. When a person sends a message he simply wires numbers representing the characters, and the receiver marks them dewn. Refer- ence being made to the book, the charac- ters are ascertained and the words spelled out. This strange system has been work- ing for thirteen years, and to the Chinese ) it is perfectly satisfactory.

Engineer in Chicago Journal :—Have you ever noticed at a railroad crossing how people will 1ush across the tracks just ahead of the engine, and then stand on the other side and watch thetrain goby. It’s a mighty curious thing ; everybody does it, though, men, women and children. Some- times a whole family will tear madly across the track as though their existence depend- ed upon getting over ahead of the train, and then all turn round and stare at the train as it shoots past. Now it’s the easiest thing in the world to get your foot caught between the ties of loose boards on a cross- ing, and the majority of people killed by the cars are run over while attempting to cross the track ahead of the train.
