OBSERVE THE TRIFLES. From This Habit G Often Accoin; 4 Russian proverb says of a man who not observe things. ‘““He goes through the forest and sees no fireweood.’’ ‘*Sir,’’ said Dr. Samuel Johnson on one oecasion to a fine gentleman just returned from Italy, ‘‘soms men will learn more in the Hampstead stage-cvach than others in the tour of Europe.’’ The mind sees as well as the eye. Where unthinking gazers ibserve nothing, men of intelligent vis- on sea into the root of the matter pu vefora their eyes, attentively noting iifferences, making comparisons and see- ng exactty what the things mesa. tn this way the telescopes was invented by Galileo, and this proved the beginning of the modern science of astronomy.

No Cloud Without Kain.
A very curious fact is thata cloud is always raining. Even in summer, when the cloud over our head is white, the drops are falling from it. But they ar very small, and they evaporate before they reach the earth. In evaporating they pass from the cloud particle stage to tlre haze particle stage, from saturation to simple condensation, or the dry aust par- ticles on which the condensation takes place may be left perfectly dry. Itisa general truth that when a cloud is formed it begins torain. The minute particles of water come down in millions. The distance they fall depends on their size. If the air.the cloud rests on is dry and warm, they do not get far. If it is chilly,
they cllect in masses and form drops of rain that reach the earth.—Longmap’'s Magazine.

The teeth, perhaps, more than any other feature, enhance or destroy that in- tangible, because complex, thing we call beauty. What more repellant than il, kept, discolored teeth? What unsightli bess more neediess and inexcusable? ivorine is delightful, whether as a cleanser orin its property of imparting to the teeth that dazzling whiteness so much desired and admired, and as efficiently does it render the breath sweet and fra- grant. ivorine is simply invomparable as a toilet requisite which accounts for its recommendation and use by leading den- tists.

Again, the two principal towns of the Province had been deprived during ‘the
winter season of the moruing train which ; war considered a very great inconvenience. [ at once tried to remedy that grievance, and I sneceeded with the assistance of Mr. Hunt o:her and gent'emen in restoring that train, which the public had er joyed for many years, upon the P. E. [.

We then applied ourselves to the question of closer communication with the main ‘and during the summer months, In this matter met with some opposition, some doubts as to the advisability of at- tempting too much in that direction.

We succeeded last summer in effecting such changes in the time-table of the Intercolonial Railway, the Point du Chene and Summerside boat and the P. 4. 1, Railway a: brought Prince Edward Island within practicaily one day of the great centre of the Domivion—the city of

CLAIMS OF THE PROVINCE,
When I took my seat in the Senate of Canada I addressed myself very soou after being introduced to that honor- able body to a discussion of the claims of the _ Province with regard to public works and steam communication with the Mainland. As my friends who were with me know very weil, we assisted each other and consulted with each other, and I made a very elaborate statement in the Senate, being careful that every word should be weighed, and every figure avcur ale, so that nothing in that statement could be successfully contradicted. After discuesing that question on the floor of the Senate, as I did, for an hour or two, I kad
the pleasure of having Sir Mackenzie 3owell admit to me a few hours after- waids ‘“‘Fergu-on, I cannot say that I ever understood the case of P. E. Island votil I heard your speech to-day.” (Appianse.) And 1 had
the honor of receiving ouly a short time afterwards a letter fron the late lamented Sir John Thompson, in which he con- gratulated me on the fairness of the state ment I made in the interests of the Pro- vince of P. EK. Island. (Applause.) Up
