THE

Notes and Comments.

It is feared that the live cattle trade with Great Britain will be prohibited. If the fear be realized, a heavy loss will be en- tailed upon Canada particularly upon (he farmers of the Upper Provinces.

Mr. Laurier is to speak here on the evening of the 22nd. It is suggested that use may now be found for Mr. Farquhar- son’s “‘bed quilts.” The “ Stars and Stripes,” labelled ‘* Protection to Amert- can Lodustries,” would be a fitting decora- tion in honor of Uncle Sam's Candidate for Premier.”

We publish to-day, by request, Bishop Cameron’s Pastoral on Temperance, and are compelled in consequence to held over the letters of ** Episcopalian” and ** Tax- naver.” The Pastoral contains invaluable iessons for every clergyman and layman. We advise every-one to read it. It wiil make good reading for Sunday afternoon.

A correspondent of the Week asks Is not the time ripe for the formation of a Canadian Nations] League, with the object the promotion of a distinct national feeling friendly to a connection with the British Empire, consistent with our self-respect, “and hostile to the surrender of our territor- ies and privileges and liberty, to United States schemers by what is called annexa- tion

_If the Scott Act has been unsuccessful in Charlottetown the cause is not due, even in part, to our Stipe ndiary Magistrate. Mr. Fitzgerald has performed a disagree- able duty manfully and well. That he has dispensed justice with an equal hand is admitted by all; and his decisions in res- pect to the Act have almost invariably been sustained by the Supreme Court.

Mr. Goschen, the English Chancellor of the Exchequer, believes in the wisdom of extending the use of silver as money, and it is worthy of note that his cbserva- tion of the recent crisis, following the em- barrassment of Baring Brothers, leads him to believe that such an addition to the cur- rency as would be affected by the rehabilt- tation of silver would be a vast benefit to commerce.

—We regret that one or two anonymous correspondents of THe Examiner have given offence by their uncourteous personal allusions; and we must again ask writers for the press to put their names to letters in which persons are called in question. Tue Examiner endeavors to give free course to public opinion upon public questions. But private persons must net be anonymously attacked. It will readily be seen that the busy editor of a daily newspaper cannot always know that a cor- respondent writes that which is calculated to give offence, nor has he time to exercise a rigorous censorship. We must warn anonymous correspondents to be more careful in future.

—J. W. Hodgson, Esq., Customs Broker, supplies the following partial st«tement of exports from Queen’s and King’s Counties during the months of October and Novem- ber. He explains that returns have not yet been received by him from the import- ant ports of Montague, Georgetown aud Souris, and that vessels going coastwise and sailing under license do not report at the Custom House as to the kinds of cargoes they carry away. [lis opinion is that the following statement does not represent half the exports of King’s and Queen’s Counties during the months of October and Novem- ber :

Since Queen Victoria’s accession, the pre- sent royal family of England has cost the nation the considerable sum of $173,113,115. Of this amount, $125,000,000 has been spent toward maintaining the state and household, and toward filling the Queen's private purse. Up tothis time the Prince of Wales has drawn altogether $16,500,000, and it is esti- mated that his debts aggregate h»lf as much again. The Kmpress Fre erick of Germany has received $1,425,000, the Duke of Edin burgh $2,500,000, the Duke of Connaught $1,836,000, the Princess Christian $810,000, the Duke of Albany $970,000, and the Prin- cess Louise $660,000. It is believed that the Queen is the richest woman in the world.

Christmas Dinner.

Mi. Frrzcuracp has sent out his cards of account and invitation for a Christmas dinner for this year. This has almost be- come an institution, and thanks to the clergy of the city, the Christmas dinner zoes where it is most needed. To those of our readers who are not subscribersthe plan of these dinners may not be known, It is simply that Mr. Fitzgerald collects the money, buys the geese through Messrs. Blake Bros., and to the clergy of, the city and the St. Vincent de Paul Society he gives as many orders for these geese as each clergyman applies for for his flock.

NES. GLADSTONE’S KINDNSS—HOW THE GREAT STATESMAN'S WIFE TREATED A PRETTY AMERICAN GIRL.

A pretty American girl recently called upon Mrs. Gladstone at her Lond-n home. She carried a most favorable letter of introduction as a member of a well-known American family. Her brightness and sparkle attracted the wile of the great English statesinan, and for an entire afternoon and evening she lived in the Gladstoue household. She confessed to Mrs. Gladstone that her visit had a purpose —that of writing an article on the home-life of her hostess for an American magazine.

“But, my dear,” said Mrs, Gladatone, ‘your people are interested in Mr. Gladstone; they do not know me.”

“That is jast why I came,” replied the girl, ‘tin order that Americans may learn a little more of you.”

At the tea-table, Mr. Gladstone joined with his wife in entertaining the American girl, and few were ever given a better opportunity of seeing the Gladstone home-life.

The quiet part which Mrs. Gladstone has played in the career of her famous busband is known to only a few. While thousands of articles have been wiitten of Mr. Gladstone, none of an authoritative character have been printed of his wife. Even her portrait is seldom seen in the English shops; rarely in the prints. She has always felt that public interest in her own country and across the sea was centered in her husband, and in order that his greatness might stand out more strik- ingly, she has each year further retired from public view. A freshness will, therefore, attach itself to the story, ‘‘A Day with Mrs. Gladstone,” as it will be told by her bright young visitor in the Ladies’ Home Journal, of Philadelphia, during the coming year. This article will be one of the series of ** Un- known Wives of Well-known Men,” which this excellent magazine will contain during 891

THE HORSEMAN’S

Christizas numbers have for many seasons been recognized as the most elaborate, handsome and artistic holiday turf papers issued in the world. In size, in scope, in the money and labor exceeded upon this annual triumph of equine art and litera- ture, The Horseman is without any rivalry. The aim will be to make the holiday num- ber of 1899; now in course of preparation, even better than those that have preceded it. Gems in both the artistic and literary features will be found in the coming special number, which will gladden the merry Christmastide in thousands of homes where the love of the horse is cherished. The publishers announce that it will be sent postpaid to any address for 25 cents a copy. Address, The Horseman, 323 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill.

**The Youth's Companion” presents its two and a half million readers with a double Christmas number. It is just vut, and con- tains no less than seven complete stories, As we turn the pages over, and enjoy the feast that lies before us of picture, story, poem and anecdote, we feel that we have been wished at least one ‘‘Merry Christmas.”

About Africa.

THE NEWEST NEW WORLD OFFERS A GREAT LAND GRAB FOR THE OLDER COUNTRIES,

Mashonaland, 1,000 miles north of Kim- berley, isthe new African El Dorado. One peculiarity of the country is the terrible scourge known as horse sickness. A remedy for this disease has pot been found. It comes every year after the rains. Mr. Maund in one week lest eleven horses out of thirteen. Animals that survive a season or two are never after afflicted with the disease. Thy ave called ‘* salted horses,” and are wortu from $150 to 3300, four or five times as much asa good horse costs that has not passed through the season ng p ¢ 8s.

The first German steamer intended for uve on the Victoria Nyanza, has been shipped from Hamburg for the east co.st of Africa. It is cal'ed the Wissmann, and a few months more will see a steamboat plowing the wateis of the greateat African lakes. It is to be followed by another German steamer, and if the British raise mouey encugh they will aso send a steamboat. There is now a good prospect that within a year or so there will be at least three steamboats on this lake. .

According to the New York Sun, of the 11,900,000 square miles in Africa the part already divided between France, Great Britain, Germany, the Congo Free State, Portugal, Italy and Spain, amounts to 7,590,- 406. If we deduct from the remainder the Khedive’s nominal possessions, Tripoli, Morocco, the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, there are left for future partition only 2,000,000 square miles.

Dr. Russel, senior pathologist at the Ed- inburgh Royal Infirmary, claims that he has discovered the cancer parasite, which he maintains he has traced to a fungus of the yeast type. He is still pursuing ex- periments,

Peter Mueller, an old man reputel to be worth $750,000, was sent to jail for sixty days in Chicago on Monday for begging on the streets. Although a real estate and security owner he has led the life of a miser.

The foot and mouth disease is prevalent among cattle in Posen and vicinity, and great losses have fallen upon raisers. The Governments of Russia, Austria and Germany are taking precautions against the further spread uf the malady.

Petrolenm beds of vast extent have been discovered in the Like Athabasca region of Northwestern Canada. About the Atha- basca river there are beds of sand 250 feet thick, saturated with oil and running for hundreds of miles.

Smoking is so common in Japan that all of the men and most of the women smoke, the girls beginning when they are about ven years of age. The women have pipes with longer stems than the men, and, if one of them wishes to show a man a special mark of favor, she lights her pipe, takes a whiff, hands it to him, and lets him smoke.

Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hard, of Honey Creek township, Ill, were charivaried on the night of their marriage recently. The bride was so frightened that she lay in a dead faint for several hours. The husband, thinking she was dead, went crazy with grief. Legal prosecutions will follow. There are some hopes of the husband's re- covery.

An electrician of soma prominence has conceived the idea of lighting street lamps with an entirely new are light apparatus. He has designed a dynamo of minute parts and a gas engine teu inches in diameter for coupling up with it, and would put a dyna- mo and gas engine in the post under each lamp, utilizing the gas supply for feeding the engine.

Letters from New Orleans tempt the northerner by description of lawns spangled with voilets, roses, chrysanthemums, dah- lias, pansies and flowers of almost every variety. Climbing roses and jasmines, arches and festoons of crimson, pink, white and yellow roses and other charming floral effects are picturelin letters with exas- perating clearness.

Stories of romantic reunions among sur- vivors of the Johnstown flood, who had mourned the others as dead, are constantly appearing. A man and wife who had be- lieved that they had been bereaved by the disaster were recently discovered ro each other by a mutual friend in Memphis. After a jeyous meeting, the couple went to a new home in California,

Employes of the Boston & Maine’s southern division state that from December 1st some changes in passenger trainmen’s wages were made. Spare conductors have an advance of 20 cents, bringing their pay up to $2.50 per diem, baggage masters’ wazes increase from $173 to $1.90, and brakemen gain two cents per diem to $1.75. Some changes are also made in the pay of regular conductors.

The Australian colonies have dismally failed in their effort to keep John China- man out by imposing a heavy poll tax. Each immigrant from the Flowery Kingdom has to pay, when he enters the colonies, about $100, and yet, in spite of the drain upon his resources, he sends for his brothers and cousins, and there are in Aus- tralia 4,000 more Chinese than nine years ago. There are over 40,000 Chinese in Australia, 47,000 in Tasmania and New Zealand, a rather large pigtail population considering the size of the islands.

A gowr just completed in Paris for the Infanta Lona Eulatia, daughter of the ex- Queen of Spain, is of marvellous gold and silver brocade, on a ground of cream satin. The tablier of this rich material is cut ver- tically on the sides by narrow bands of sable fur ; the long train is of plain cream satin. The low-necked corsage has one side of brocade, the other of satin ; the 'at- ter is drawn across the waist and fastened at the sides in gleaming folds. The trim- ming at the bust is formed of sable tails, festooned over a graceful drapery of soft white chiffon. Rose petal satin is another color for Paris dinner gowns this season.

The newspapers of Constantinople an- nounce that the Government intend to send Mohommedan missionaries into the Turkish pvss¢ss'ons in Africa with the pur- pose of preserving the followers of the pro- phet from the seductions of European mis- sionaries, who have gone into those parts to spread the Catholic faith. The propa- gandists will give a very practical direction to their enterprise, and besides inculcating the true faith, will found many schools and establish asylums where the poor may get shelter and food without pay.

Mr. Franklin L. Pope, the electrical ex- pert, addressed the citizens of Sringfield on Wednesday evening on electricity. He said : It is only six years ago that an elec- tric street railway was put in actual com- mercial service in the United States for the first time. This was at Cleveland, O. To- day considerably more than one-third of the total street railway mileage of the United States is either operated by electric power or contracts have been into for the substitution of an electric equipment for that now now in use at the ea:liest possible moment.

Military conscription is being enforced in Germany with more than usual stringency, and the Socialist leaders are denouncing the system. A Cologne correspondent of the London News says it is a pitiful spec- tacle to see the squads of German con- scripts at the various stations awaiting en- forced transportation from home and

A submerged town has beon discovered in the Adriatic Sea, on the coast of Istria, | which is thought to be the ancient Cissa A diver, who was sent down to make obser- vations, saya: ‘Oa reaching the }ottom I found myself upon remains of overthrown walls, after ¢xamining which I arrived at the conclusion that they had been parts of buildings. Being » mason by trade, I was able to make out the layers of mortar. On proceeding along the spot, I observed con- tinuous rows of walls and streets. 1 could observe exactly the existence of a regular sea wall, upon which I proceeded for a dis- tance of about 100 fect. I gained the im- pression that the existing heaps of ruins are the remains of buildings, and formed the opinion that a town had here been sub- merged by some catastrophe.”

* Round the world without change of cars,” will be the cry of the next genera. tion, if all the railway and tunnel schemes now projected, or under way, are carried into effect. The latest grand scheme is that of acompany which had been formed in Chicago with a capital of $150,000,000 to construct and operate a railway to Behring Strait, and form connection there with the railway the Russian Government has pro- jected across Siberia. It is stated that a beginning has actually been made in Tacoma, in the new State of Washington. The company is an American corporation, and must necessarily traverse British Columbia to reach its terminus in Alaska, but it is, probably, expected that the Do- minion government will not object to that. A ferry from American to Russian soil ac- ross Behring Strait is to be established which will take cars across ; and when the tunnel under the Strait of Dover is built, it will be possible to take a car from H«lifax or New York to London, without any sea voyage, except the short trip across Behring Strait.
