If oaths are of any avail, by so much they | lessen the value of any ordinary statement and dimjnish the pro»ability of its truth, If |ignorant persons are not sworn they think i they may tell lies with impunity, and thei: ‘lying is made to a large extent blameless in |theireyes, I think oaths and oath-making | have dore more than any other thing to impair |and destroy a regard for the truth.”

| AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1883,—From the | new edition of Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell & Co's | American Newspaper Directory, which is now |in press, it appears that the total number of | newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued in Canada is 596. ‘There aye no less than 74 |daily papers, while the monthlies number 57. |The weekly papers number 423. ‘ihis is an | execilent showing for the Dominion, though it cannot of course equal the United States and Territories, in which the journals and periodicals of ail kinds now reach the impos- ing total of 11,196. This is an increase of 585 in twelve months. Taking}the States one by one, the newspaper growth in some very con- siderable, The present total in New York | State, for instance, is 1,399—a gain of 80 in ithe past year. The most remarkable change 'has occurred in the Territories, in which the daily papers have grown from 45 to 63, and the weeklies from 169 to 243—Dakota being ithe chief area of activity. The number of | monthlies throughout the United States grew | from 976 to 1,034, while the dailies leaped from 996 to 1,062. Referring to our own journalis- | tie growth, it is interesting to note that the | newly-settled religions of our Canadian North-

West are productive of newspapers as well as | of wheat, for the number of journals issued in

Manitoba was nearly doubled during the year.

The recent demonstration of the reading club of students at Vienna in memory of Wagner led to twenty duels am ng the students, the combatants being Germans on one side and Austrians on the other. One of the participants was severely wounded. ,

It is said that the right of a nun to take off the vail and re-enter society again will soon be tried in the law eourts at Montreal, as the opulent friends of a young French- Canadian lady are about to appiy for s writ of habeas compel the mother superior cf one of the local convents to open the duors and allow her to leave.

Honolulu advices state that three hundred thousand square miles of the most densely populated portion of the kingdom have been searched for lepers, with a view of ascertaining whether there is a general spread of leprosy. Twenty-eight native and ten foreiyn lepers were found. There are ten foreign lepers at the leper settle- ment at Molokai, most of whom contracted the disease by licentiousness.

Even queens like to get rid of the well- stretched compliments of sycophants once ina while. When Lady Mandeville’s little four-year-old twins were presented to Her Majesty Victoria, instead of kissing her hand as they were told to do, one of them jast rushed through the surrounding court- lers, and, putting her arms about the Queen’s neck, gave her a real, old-fashioned honest hug After a little the other one, who by this time had concluded to make herself perfectly at home, also drew the at- tention of Her Majesty, and cried out, “Say, Queen, can’t you give us a bun? Victoria was not offended, as a lesser per- sonage would have been, but was, on the ether hand, delighted, and the buns were forthcoming.
