The Little White King.

(For The Empire.)

The kin in his carriage is riding by,

The little white king so fair ; Robed in ermiae and crowned with goul— Daintiest raiment his soft limbs unfold— Claiming obeisance of young and of old With right imperial air,

The king ia his carriage is riding by.

‘The little white king so sweet ; And his loyal subjects linger to trace

‘Lhe winsome smile on the baby face,

Whi'e Lumbly they sue for his royal grace, Who holds the world at his feet.

Make room, make room for the little white

king, The little white king so dear ; For we hear with his passing a flash of wings.

A far-off thrilling of sweet harp-strings, And our hearts uplight to holier things,

While heaven itself seems near. —fairH FENTON. Toronto.

News Notes.

Japanese advices state that there isa movement on foot to plant a colony of Jap- anese in Mexico. The gas company of Brantford have de- cided to introduce incandescent electric lighting in connection with their works.

While handling a rifle on Tuesday, Mrs. Allen Blake, of Lexington, Me., accident- ally shot her little child, who bled to death.

Chinese advices state that there has been great gambling in silver in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong and Shanghai banks are said to have made millions out of the deal.

{t will be interesting to observe the out- come of the competition among architects for the erection of the Montreal board of trade building. All Canadian architec:s are being invited to compete for the preli- minary designs,of the building, the archi- tects of the best three plans to receive $300 each. Five leading United States archi- tects will also compete.

Despatches state that a party of Armen- ians and Druzes attacked the barracks at Silencia, Syria, aud blew up a portion of the buildings. Forty Turkish soldiers were killed. The Armenians then invaded the Govcrument buildings, killed the governor, and robbed the treasury of all its contents. From there they proceeded to the prison, which they carried by storm, liberating all the > prisoners,

The damage by floods in Virginia will probably reach $400,000. Reports of great damages come from the valley of every stream emptying into the Ohio between Stubenville and Parkersburg. One death

is reported—William Winters, of Vista, Marshall County. In one county alone eight bridges were carried away.

Railroad traffic is at a standstill. Teo dwelling houses passed Grantsville up to noon Tuesday.

The Vancouver Telegram boasts of the great crops harvested by the farmers in that province, and for which they receive high prices. Hay is selling for $16 per ton ; oats, $30 per ton; potatoes, $15 per ton ; butter, 22 to 24 cents per lb. ; hams, 17 to 18 cents per |b. ; eggs, 25 to 49 cents per dozen; plums, $1.50 per box; beef, 12 to 18 cents per pound ; milk, at 10 cents per quart, and so on of other things.

Mail advices from Grenada, Nicaragua, report a terrible state of affairs there on account of earthquake shocks, which began September 11, and continued with greater or less violence or frequency for over two days. The losses reached $200,000. About three-fourths of the inhabitants left the place and the whole city was in a panic for two days: Aid was sent to the afflicted people by the Government and citizens from all parts of the Republic.

Sarseen, the astronomer, proposes an ob- servatory on Nont Blanc, at the Chalet des Bosses, within two hours distance of the summit of the mountain, and 4,400 metres above the sea. He thinks an observatoiy at this point would be more productive of scientific results than any other now exist- ing in Europe. Canada’s turn for moun- tain observatories will come after a while. There are localities in the Rockies and Sel- kirks where the cloudlessness and purity of the air favor telescopic work more than in any part of Europe. Of course some rail- way magnate or some other wealthy man will be the founder.

“Old Gold.”

The Rev. W. W. Brewer lectured in the Methodist Church, Souris, on Tuesday evening last. Rev. J. Goldsmith occupied the chair. Subject of lecture, ‘Old Gold.” The lecturer began his discourse by glanc- ing at the so-called good old times when it was lawful to burn witches and to hang them. For his part he was glad he was not born then. If he had had the planning of it himself, he would not have selected any other time than the date of his birth for his arrival in this world. Some might long for the old times—the present suited him ail right, and is far preferable to the past. He then introduced a variety of proverbs, Scotch, English and Italian, commented upon the truthfulness, as well as the ab- surdity, of some of them, giving a humor- ous turn to each that excited laughter avaong the gravest of his hearers.

Mr. Brewer takes high rank as a popular lecturer. Of fluent and forcible address, with good physique and Shakespearian ap- pearance, he commands the closest atten- tion of his audience from beginning™ to close. The proceeds of this *‘Old Gold” lecture go towards the funds of the Souris Methodist Church. By the way, we may as wellsay herethatthe Methodistsof that town have recently been renovating and improv- ing the interior of their Church. A new platform for the choir on either side, with Seema rail in front of the pulpit

have been erected. This, together with new matting for the aisle (the gift of a young merchant of the place) along with

Choice new Smyrna figs received to-day o15 2i Tue Lapy Frankiin Fioatep.—A St. Ann's, C. B., despatch says that the schr. Lady Franklin has floated from where she was ashore at South Gut. She sustained little or no damage. Dyspepticure—lIs not a palliative, but acure; it first relieves, then controls, and finally entirely subdues the irritation and in’ flammation of the stomach that causes indiges tion and dyspepsia. Has Lerr Tur Crry.—Mr. A. M. Macrae, Secretary-Treasurer of the Security Loan and Savings Co., of St. Catherine’s Ont,, has left the city and an examination of his books show that he is a defaulter to the extent of $25,000.

Tue OLpest Mason.—Robert Sellars, said to have been the oldest Freemason in Canada, died at Kingston, Ont., on the 14th inst., at the age of 99 years and 10 months. He was bornin Fort Frontenac in 1790, and was made a mason in the an- cient St. John’s Lodge, in 1890. Horses AND Lamps.—The Journal says: On Tuesday morning Mr. C. A. MeNutt, of Kensington, shipped 196 lambs from Summer- side by the Princess, for Messrs. James A. Leaman & Co., of Halifax. Mr. David Keefe shipped 196 sheep and lambs, and Mr. J, O’Brien 137, to St. John, on Wednesday morning. Seven horses were shipped on the same boat by different parties. icotidielgtinesiy

ANOTHER LipeL Scrr.—Notice has been served on the Toronto Globe of a suit for dam- ages to be entered against it on behalf of Gros- venor Hood Graeme, a young Englishman whose name figuredinan article the Globe published in which Birchall was alleged to _— endeavored to implicate him in the mur-

der of Benwall. Damages have been placed at $50,000. Graeme is the son and brother of an English Baronet, but is working here as the driver of a delivery wagon.

LigHTING SypNey Muines.—Ihe Ambherst Gazette says that the Canada Electric Co. has just been awarded a contract for lighting the coal mines near North Sydney with the in- candescent system. The company is to put in 25 lights, some of which will be 800 feet underground. This is a new departure in coal mining and will be a great improvement on the old methods affording absolute safety from fire damp, and giving the miners a much better light to work by than formerly. Sydney Mines therefore will be the first mine lighted with electricity in Nova Scotia. The same company has the lighting of North Sydney. The building is now being built up for that purpose.

Tusy'ke Sorry Now.—Many people who were induced to give up their homes and business in the Dominion for the purpose ot settling in California, wonld be gla to be re- stored to their former circumstances. They have found that life on the Pacific Slope is not all that it was represented. A corres- pondent of an American paper says of the New Englanders settled in one section of Cali- foraia: ‘‘They dress well, but the poor stomach has to suffer. A roast of beef is only set on the table on great occasions, and the banquet is referred to with awe for months ‘after- wards. It is a mark in the course of time. Oue hears that such and such an occurrence took place five weeks after we had the roast. Priscilla Longbone died just ten days before we had the roast, or Ebenezer Scroggins proposed to Jane the day after we had the toast.”

‘More More Sheep. ‘SF

Comparatively few farms are well-stocked with sheep. To be sure, the price of wool has fallen in the last few years, but not al- togetaer out of proportion with other farm products. Woolgrowing may not be as profit- able now as it was for a few years after the war, but the mutton market is excellent. There are several reasoas why farmers, and especially those up on light soils, should keep sheep. Nc other animal requires so little care, or returns so much for the little food consumed. No other stock is so easy on land or so beneficial in subduing rough soils. Many a partially run-out field has been brought into good condition by pasturing with sheep for afew years. The cost of stabling sheep is light, as they only need shelter from storms,such asgood sheds and straw covered pens afford, They will get along with very little hay if they have a strawstack too and are given a moderete feed of grain through the winter. The wool is a source of revenue at a time when the farmer is most in need of money for summer expenses. And wool can be held for higher prices without loss for storing. The old rule of letting out sheep to double every four years, would indicate the large profits of the business. No other stock seems to increase 80 fast, with so little de- mand upon the resources of the farm,
