SEPTEMBER 17, 189€ Notes and Comments. —The fact that Canada had a large sur- plus for the last fiscal year, though appar- ently very distasteful to the Opposition, is, says the Empire, viewed in a very different light by the majority of Canadians, who rejoice in this indication of the prosperity of their country and the wise management of its public affairs. That part of the sur- plus should be due to retrenchment through prudent, though not penurious, economy is in itself highly satisfactory. Equally gratifying is the fact that the balance on the right side was caused in a large measure by business activity and ability to purchase, betokening even greater prosperity than the authorities had ventured to anticipate. Our Finance Minister calculated upon a sufficient margin in any event that was at all probable, and this has not only been realized but it has been greatly enlarged by circumstances even more favorable than our hopes. The Opposition had no similar experience while they controlled our affairs, so they look upon their deficits as the pro- per thing and affect to deride a surplus. The people, however, are well content with the change, and feel no craving for a return to the financing of Sir Richard Cartwright. -~There is much truth in the following from the Loudon Daily Telegraph. Wehave little doubt that the public schools of the future will contain industrial departments, or annexes, for girls as well as for boys. It is not easy to conceive of any innovation which would contribute more to the sum total of health, happiness and general morality of any community than a course of instruction in the schools which would make all its women efficient in cooking, house- keeping, the use of the needle and other ministries so essential to the general well- being. Says the Talegraph: **Good health, good morals and good order may depend on the domestic cookery of the day. Our new Education Code supplies ad- ditional encouragement to the teaching of this branch of female education in our Board schools; and in the course of time English and American women may become ‘only a little lower than the angels,’ if they all turn into first-rate cooks, and so make their fathers, brothers and husbands good and holy men. Then the cook with white garments will be a kind of priest of the new dispensa- tion, and in the uplifting of a familiar kitchen utensil as an object of adoration we shall al- most witness a revival of the worship of Pan.” American Gentlemen. A BRITISH TOURIST PAYS A COMPLIMENT TO THEIR INHERENT POLITENESS. An English tourist was stopping at one of the Kansas City hotels last week, and in a chance conversation with a 7'imes report- er, spoke of the seeming inherent polite- ness of the American gentlemen. ‘‘ As a class,” he said, ** they were the most polite men he had met with in any quarter of the globe. Wherever his travels took him he could always tell an American by his effable manner. ‘‘ {it seemed,” he said, ‘as though every one was a born courtier, and nowhere was it more noticeable than in the cities of the Old World. In London the Americans could be selected in any public hall or gallery, for they always took their hats off, no matter what room they entered or if it was too uncomfortable to remove head gear, it needed but the presence of a lady to cause the hats to be immediately lifted. {t was quite the contrary with the Britishers; they never uncovered their heads except under extraordinary circum- stances. ‘** ] was going down the street in this city but the other day,” continued the stranger. ‘‘ when I saw a lady drop her purse. It had hardly reached the sidewalk before a little street arab grabbed it, touch- ed the loser’s arm, and, with hat in hand, said : ‘ Lady, here’s your pocket-book.’ It is not only to the opposite sex that this politeness extends, but it is refreshing to observe the courtesy with which men treat each other. The Americans are the great- est hand-shakers in the world. Then I notice they touch their hats to each other when passing on the street.. This certainly is a courteous, hospitable nation.” eur How to Treat an Architect. {[Mrs. Schulyer van Rensselaer in North American Review for September. } Whatever you want, then, goto an ar- chitect for it; not to a carpenter, or a meon, or yourown still more profound incompetence, Tell him all your practical, material desires and insist that they shall be respected. That istosay, if you are uite sure what they are, and quite certain that it is possible to respect them, This is by no means‘always the case. To be un- settled, vague, self-contradictory, unprac- tical, impossible, is one of your most common faults, and one for the inevitable results of which you are only too apt to blame your architect. Settle your practi- cal desires and state them clearly ; and, if you will pour out your vague esthetic wishes, try to explain these crude artistic preferences, those misty, formless visions which you are pleased to call “my own ideas.” But then go home, and leave him who isa trained artist, an experienced planner and constructor, to work out your problem in his own way. If what you get is exactly what you want, be very thank- ful ; say that you are, and give the credit where credit isdne. And if what you get is not quite all you want, or exactly what you think it ought to be, why, be thankful still ; for the chances are (nay, the cer- tainty is) that, had you interfered, the re- | would have been more unsatisfactory still. 6+0«4 a Four inches of snow fell on Friday last at Ardock, North Dakota. News Notes. Heavy rain has fallen in northern Ohio for several days, and much damage has been caused by floods. A local commercial union journal tries to cheer up its dying cause with the reminder that the old reciprocity treaty was not ac- cepted by the United States until six years of strenuous labor had educated it up to the point of accepting. It has forgotten to add that ten years of reciprocity educated the same country up to the point of annulling the treaty, and that it has remained an- nulled for twenty-four years. A Canadian government has to keep in mind the end as well as the beginning of a trade coanection with our neighbors. In a circular on precautions against con- sumption, published by the State Board of Health of Pennsylvania, the following ad- vice is given : ** The duster, and especially that potent distributer of germs, the feather duster, should never be used in a room habitually occupied by a consumptive. The floor, woodwork, and furniture should be wiped witha damp cloth. The patient’s clothing should be kept by itself, and thoroughly boiled when washed. It need hardly be said that the room should be ven- tilated as thoroughly as is consistent with the maintenance of a proper temperature.” John Bull, in Africa, is a very much alive sort of person. A new company, which has been organived under a charter from the Government, is about to explore the country bounded on;<the east by the German and Portuguese possessions, as now defined, on the west by the Congo State, and on the south by the Zambesi. There are now four great English com- panies engaged in the development of Africa, exercising extensive powers and en- joying large privileges. Under these cir- cumstances, and with the active rivalry of the Germans and French, African affairs will enjoy an unprecedented boon. All British Australasia, except Fiji and New Guinea were represented at the Fed- eration conference held in Melbourne. Fiji was to have been represented by its Governor, Sir John Thurston, who, how- ever, was prevented from getting away through unforseen circumstances. As for New Guinea it can hardly be regarded as a colony as yet, though it has an organized Government. If the federal scheme were carried out, it is possible that Papua, as well as Fiji, would form part of the new Dominion. Fiji is most anxious to be associated with Australia. New Zealand's attitude has, however, giveu a check to the movement, the consequences of which may be serious. The news that the Government of Ugan- da in Central Africa has passed under the control of the Christians is accompanied with the announcement that the Catholic and Protestant sections have agreed to settle their differences by mediation before they reach the length of bloodshed. Look- ing back into history a little way more c vilized people will hesitate whether most to pity or sympathize with the spirit shown by these darkskinned followers of the Man of Peace. If the same agreement had been made and held to in enlightened a in times past, the common faith would have mourned fewer martyrs and looked up to more examp'es of Christian streagth. During the season of 1889 there were 582 hhds, of sugar and 28,438 puncheons of molasses shipped from Barbadoesto the British Provinces. During the season of 1890 the shipments were 2,833 hhds. sugar and 42,005 puncheons molasses. The large > crease is largely due to the fact that dur- ing the present year Barbadoes prices were about as low as those of the other islands. Barbadoes molasses is ed as of better quality, and prices being favorable the deal- ers secured their supplies from that island. A great deal of low grade West India molasses is this year being distilled into rum, Over 1,400 puncheons of low grade which had been sent to Boston and found a dull market, has been re-shipped to Mar- tinique for this purpose. This is something new in the molasses trade. Tessin, or Ticino, reported to be ina state of revolution, is the cnly Swiss can- ton in which Italian is spoken by the bulk of the people. It is one of the six largest cantons, having an area of 1,095 square miles. Its population is, however, com- paratively small, only 126,751, which shows a decrease during the last decade, for in 1880 it was 130,177. The ratio of inhabi- tants tothe square mile is 115; in Geneva it is 967, andin Zurich 597, while in the Grison (Graubunden) it falls as low as 34. The entire population of Switzerland irs nearly 3,000,000—the population per square mile in the whole confederation being 183. The trouble in Ticino seems hardly to war- rant the term applied to it, though the action of the federal troops shows that it is pretty serious. In some of the cantons the ple exercise their powers direct, without fogislative machinery of the parliamentary kind, and the large gatherings thus necessi- tated are sometimes disorderly. A recent statement by Fred Dupree, the Cheyenne river squaw man, who is report- ed to be worth $100,000, that he would give some young business man $10,000 to take in marriage his half-blood daughte7, ** Swift-as-the-wind,” has brought a flood of letters from every section of the country from those who desire the dusky maiden and the yellow $10,000. Two years ago Douglas F. Carlin, a son of an ex-governor of Illinois, married Dupree’s eldest daugh- ter, and the old man made him indepen- dently rich. ** Swift-as-the-wind” is said to be the finest-looking Indian maid in the great reservation, but old man Dupree must alone be consulted in bargaining for her hand in marriage. He says he picked /model young man for the older one, and the one who gets ‘‘Swift-as-the-wind” must be of the same make-up as Carlin. Dupree is the oldest white man in either of the Dakotas, having gone there sixty years ago, and being now eighty years old, hale and hearty. His daughter has French, negro and Indian blood flowing in her veins.
