SLOW! Ir was expected that the “Business—like Administration” would work a reform in methods of

the slow and uncertain con-

ducting public afsirs. Bur, after upwards In- deed matters are in a worse rather than ‘better state in most, if not all, of public departments. The introduction o the apoils system and politics ivto the public service seems to have demoralized many of the officials and resulted in great-

the

er laxity than ever. Take for example the conduct of the Fisheries Department in respect to lobaters. If point upon which the late government was weak in administration it was in respect to the enforcement ofthe regulations for the protection of our lobster fishery. Ii was hoped and believed that with such political scorchers as Sir Louis Davies and the Hon. W.S. Fielding in charge of the department a complete revolution would be effected. But what do we see? The time for destroying lobsters was, a month ago, extended at the request of the polit- <1ans, from the 15th of July to the 24th; is Order that the interests of the Peters party might not be in any degree pre- judiced in the Proviacial’clections, Not the least attempt to enforce the close season, #s extended, has been made until thie day —viz, the third of August. In the mean- time, all the packers who kept their traps out have been fishing away without the slightest hindrance. The great interest of the country in the Lobster Fishery was in she first place made secondary snd sub- servient to that of the Liberals in a local election, and in the second place the efficers whose duty is to enforce the Jaw have been so slow and easy-going in their movements that illegal tishing has had full swing. Such conduct of the#public busi- ness is not creditable to the Liberals.

A ROAD TO THE KLONDIKE.

Ir is questionable whether the Dominion Government were prudent when they issued an order in Council imposiag royalty upon the products of the mines of the Yukon country. At present men who take their lives in their bands and go to the Klondike mines deserve all the gold that fortune nay bestow upon them. The taking of a royaity from them implies the supplying

them with means of reaching the Bidorado ef the north. Thir, at

least, seems te be the opinion of those persons in the Northwest Territories who are now agitating for the construction of a waggou road aad telegraph line into the Yukon territory. The Dominion Govern- ment, which takes money from the minera, ought, it is argued, to build this road; and the chances are that the road will cost the Canadien exchequer more than the royalty will come to. The royalty will be difficult of collection, par- ticularly from the dare-devil miners from the United States; but the money the road will cost is sure. Wouldn’t it be better to jeave the Yukon miners notaxed and Jet them take the risk of getting into and out of acountry which has nothing but gold to commend it?

I aie

THE KLONDIKE, MINES.

_

Ir is claimed that the best gold yielding mines of the North are in Alaska and not in Canada. ertainly the United States is entitled to all the land west of the 14st meredian of longtitude from the top oy Mount St. Elias to the pole. But the Klondike is, clearly, to the eastward of that line. The territory about which there is a dispute as to the line of demarcation

between Canada and the United States lies away south of the Klondike.

A satisfactory beverage for outing paruies is unquestionably Sovreign Fruit Syrups. Among its great variety in flavors all tastes are suited.

BOYS OF OLD ST. PAUL’S.

They Were the Pets of London In the Days of Queen Besa.

There are many quaint pictures of old London in Jobn Bennett’s St. Nicholas serial, ‘‘Master Skylark.’’ The hero of the story is in the music school of St. Paul's cathedral, and the following ao- count of his experiences is given:

‘*Heigho and alackaday!’’ thought Nick. ‘It is better in the country than in town!’’ For there was no smell in all the town like the clean, sweet smell of the open fields just after a summer rain, no colors like the bright heartwease and none so pretty, er the honeysuckle over the cottage door, and no song ever to be heard among the sooty ehimneypots like the song of the throstle piping to the daisies on the hill.

But he had little time to dream such dreams, for every day from 4 to 6 o’clook the children’s company played and sang in public, at their own school hall, or in the courtyard of the Mitre inn on Bread street, near St. Paul’s.

They were the petsof London town, and their playing place was thromged day after day. For the bright young faces and sweet, unbroken voices of the richly cos- tumed lads made a spot in sordid London life like a pot of posies in a window ona dark street; so that both the high and the low, the rich and the poor, came in to see them play and dance, to hear them sing, and to laugh again at the witty things which were written for them to say.

The songs that were set for Nick to sing were always short, sweet, simple things thateven the dull eyed, toil worn folk upon the rough plank benches in the pit could understand. Many a silver shilling came clinking down at the heels of the other boys from the galleries of the inn, where the people of the better classes, wealthy merchants, ladies and their dashing gal- lants, watched the children's company, but when Nick’s songs were done the com- mon people down below seemed all gone daft. They toseed red appies after him, ripe yellow pears, fat purple plums by handfuls, called him by nameand brought hin back, and cried for more and more and more, until the old precentor shook his head bebind the prompter's screen and waved Nick off -with a forbtdding frown. Yet ali the while hechuckled to himself until it seemed as if his dry old ribs would rattle in his sides, and every day, before Nick sang, he had him upto his little room fora broken egg and a cup of rosy cordial.

‘*To clear thy voice and to cheer the cockles of thine heart,’’ said he, ‘‘and to tune that pretty throat of thino ad gust- um reginew—which is to eay, ‘to the queen's own taste’-—God bless her maj- esty !’’

It is now announced on authority that Dr. Nansen will make no lesa than $150,- 000 out of “ Fartheat North.” Editions have already appeared in England, Ger- many, France, and America, and the Dutch and Norwegian editions are just comipvg out.
