British News N otes.

It is estimated that, during the last forty years, 2,250,000 houses have been erected in Great Britain, and they are worth double the amount of the national debt. The rate of building now is about 800,000 per year. Forty years ago the rate was 40,000 per year.

The election of Mr. Lowell, United States Minister to England, as Rector of Bt. Andrew’s University, is a very pleasing cir- cumstance.. The grace of the act would have been more manifest had the election been without a contest. Still, as it is, the election is gratifying, significant and fitted to do much good.

Every phase of philanthropy, and every craze of a community may be found in the vast city of London. The latest is an organization for the care of the outcast cats of Londop. Already there exists similar assoviations for the protection of dogs and birds. Now, at Battersea, philanthropic people by paying the small charge of thirty- six cents per week may claim ‘‘board, lodg- ing, and attendance,” for some outcast cat. Londoners, and visitors to London, have often wished that the feline tribe, which make night hideous in that great city, could be captured and imprisoned in a cat asylum. coll ee
