intelligence of a monkey to whose education he was devotiug himself.One day he saw with delight that the monkey was sitting at the other end of the room, turning over the leaves of a valuable book on entomology and looking at the plates with apparent interest.But on going nearer he saw, with dismay, that the monkey was turning over the plates iu ordor that when he came to a particularly large beetle or butterfly he might pick it out and eat it.As the paper could not have had a nies taste, I think he may have been actuated rather by the fun of the thing than by a mere deprave 1 appetite.Perhaps he was verifying the like method of learning among the philosophers of Lapntu.\u2014 The Spectator.\u201cHandsome is that handsome does,\u201d and if Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla doesn't

track, outward bound, came another express on the Central road.The engiucer saw the killing of the woman aud stopped bis train.Just behind him, on the same track, followed a third express, also outward bound.The third train was close behind the second.When the engineer of tbe second train stopped it was done so suddenly that the engineer of the third express oould not avert a collision.He applied the air brakes, hut they did not prevent his running into the train ahead.The passengers in the rear car of the second express saw the third tram running them down and a panic ensued, mad rush was mide for -tho forward doo of the car.A few succeeded in getting off before the-'' crash came.The remainder of the passengers\u2019 were in the forward part of the last car, when the locomotive of the incoming train crashed into them.There was a deafening crash that could be heard for blocks away, followed by the slashing of timbers, the cracking of glass and the shrieks and groans of frightened and wounded people.The engine of tho third express ploughed into the car ahead and half its length, then the force of tho collision spent itself.The engineer and fireman were not hurt beyond a few bruises.Those injured in the car were ten, some of them seriously.Brooklyn, Dec.8\u2014In regard to tho construction of a tunnel from Flat Bush avenue, Brooklyn, to Jersey City, Mr.Corbin said to a reporter to day in substance :\u2014\u201cWe are taking steps towards organization and in a few days will lie aide to make our purposes public.Eist River will certainly be tunneled and I

Room, Exchange Building, on TUESD AY, 13th December instant, at elonging to the McLean line, for w\u2019hich these gentlemen are agents.The coffin was taken from the vault.It was opened.A few sprigs of heather were gently laid on the breast.\u201cIt may be a solace to the poor mother whpn she looks upon the face of her dead son, to think that away across the sea he had friends who were not neglectful of small offices of love in Ids behalf.That is what the friends thought.The body was conveyed to the wharf.The friends interviewed the captain.When good Captain Clark heard the story of the poor fellow's death, and that he was a Highlander\u2014\u201cWhy, I\u2019m a Highlander, too,\u201d he said simply.\u201cAnd here is Mr.McLeod, my first mate, who is a Highlander.And here are six men of my crew who are all Macs.We are all \u2018Heelan\u2019 here, and we all speak Gaelic.\u201d \u201cThis ia rare good luck,\u201d said the friends.The captain called six men into his cabin, and thus addressed them\u2014\u201cBoys, we are going to carry the body of a clansman holne to Glasgow to his poor old mother.There is to be no blabbing.We don\u2019t want the fire men and the others to know it.They would say we would have bad luck ; that we would never reach the other side.That is all nonsense.We unll reach the other side, and this poor fellow will be buried in his own land.Now, do your duty by this body like true clansmen.And keep your own counsel.\u201d The men said, \u201cYes, sir,\u201d like children to a father, or like clansmen to their chieftain, obedience to whom is part of tho Highland man\u2019s gospel.Then they took charge of the body,brought it on board, and, with the utmost tenderness, lowered it into the heart of the ship.The night was intensely dark.Rain and sleet were falling.A culling wind blew across the deck.The scene was weird and gruesome.There was a pathos, too, in it which brought the mist to the eye.As the body descended that dark, gaping ship\u2019s mouth, it seamed as though poor MacLennan was having a second burial.The friends thought that, and were much moved.But there they took a final farewell, and the ship went on her way, and the storm beat upon lier, but the desired haven was reached on the first of this month, and friends took their loved one, and now poor MacLennan sleeps in the land he loved so well, and which ho never mentioned without a sparkle in the eye and a proud flush on the face.\u2014Montreal Witness, on the rational appreciation rule which, while allowing the greatest freedom of individual action, secures equal rights and protection to all.\\Ve are all, I hope, loyal to our University, and to the University as a whole, not merely to any particular Faculty of it.McGill has endeavored, more than most universities, carefully to adapt its teaching to the actual wants and needs of the student, whether in the matter of that general academical learning which makes the educated man, or in the special training which fits the graduate for taking his place creditably in the higher walks of professional life.To this, I think, its success has been largely due.Yet with all the breadth and elasticity of our system, we cannot perfectly meet every case and there are still desiderata, the want of which is most deeply felt bv those engaged in the management of the University.Our course, however, has been onward and upward ; and it may be truly said that no session has passed in whicli something has not been added to our means of usefulness.The future, indeed, has endless possibilities, and there will be ample scope for improvement, and perhaps also for occasional complaint, when the youngest students of to-day have grown to be gray-haired seniors.You have good cause notwithstanding to 1» proud of your University and to cherish feelings of gratitude and affection to the wise and good men, who, amid many difficulties, have brought it to its present position and are ¦till urging it onward.You should be loyal to tho ideal of the stn dent.You are a chosen and special band of men anti women, selected out of the mass to attain to a higher standing than your fellows in those acquirements which make life noble and useful.It ia not for you to join in the follies of frivolous pleasure-seekers, or to sacrifice the true culture of your minds and hearts to the more pursuit ot gain.Your aims are higher, and require isolation from the outer world, and self-denial, in the hope that what you are now sowing and planting will bear good fruit in all your future lives.Live up to this ideal, and bear in mind that the self-control and habits of mind which it implies are of themselves worth more than all the sacrifices you make.BE LOYAL TO THE MEMORIES OP HOME.I regret very much that McGill cannot at present offer to its students such temporary bornes aa college halls could supply.The time for this is coming, I hope soon.But most of you have those at home who look on your residence here with solicitude and longing, who will rejoice in your successes and perhaps be heart-broken should any evil befall you.It is customary to say that youug people at college are removed from the restraints of home and its influences for good.But this need not be.To truly loyal hearts absence should make these influences more powerful, and the thought of those who are watching you with loving hearts in distant homes should be a strong impelling motive in the student\u2019s life.Next to home is heaven, and let me now add loyalty to Him who reigns there, and to the Captain of our Salvation made perfect throngh sufferings for us.Many of you, 1 know, are earnest Christians and growing in spiritual life as you advance in learning.To those who are not, let me say \"Read.as a serious study tho Life of Jesus Christ as given in the Gospels.Read it in the light of His own sayings, that \u201cHe came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many,\u201d and that \u201cGod so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believed in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d Read of His life as the Man of Sorrows, of His agony in Gcthsemane, of His death on the cross, crushed not merely by physical agony, but by the weight of our iniquities, and you may then judge if there is any obligation so great as that under which we lie to Him, any loyal service so blessed as that of the Saviour.In speaking of the hereafter, which Sir William calls in the language of the Scottish poet the \u201cland o\u2019 the leal,\u201d he says : \u201cTHAT HAPPY COUNTRY IS NF_AR TO ME, but I hope separated from you by a long, useful and happy life ; but let us all alike look forward to meeting beyond the river of death in the promised land where He reigns who said, \u2018Him that confessed me before men will I confess before My Father that is in heaven.\u2019 In tho meantime, you remain here to pursue useful work, I go to seek restored health elsewhere, and can only remember you in my prayers.Let us hope that when the winter is past we may meet ouce more, and that I may be able to congratulate you on well merited success, not merely iu regard to the prizes and honors which few can obtain, but in that abiding education of the mind and heart, which McGill offers to all her studious children.without exception.With earnest prayer for your highest welfare and success, I remain, Y\u2019ours sincerely, J.Wm.Dawson.buck the Sergeant tells how a shell came skipping along, and, alter passing through the Dragoons, struck the snow-white Canadian charger on which he was mouuted, killing it on the spot.When he fell came the supreme moment of danger, but his companions rescued him, and a sergeant-major of the Dragoon Guards gave him the bridle of a riderless charger of the 13th Light Dragoons, and, mounted upon him, he escaped out of the valley.When about to dismount, Fawke noticed that tho white sheepskin on which the saddle rested was covered with the brains of the dragoon to whom the horse belonged, and, filled with nansca, he let the animal go free.There were seven wounds in &U received by Fawke on the eventful day, three of which were on his legs.Sergeant Fawke rode in the Lord Mayor\u2019s show last year, and earns a livelihood as a teacher of ihysical exercises in colleges and schools, lis residence is at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire.Among others present were representatives of the 13ih Light Dragoons ; Private Lamb, who was wounded in two places by a canister shot and had his horse killed under him; .Sergt.Peck, who had the bars shot off his jacket, but escaped unhurt ; Sergt.Allen, whose horse was shot, but who was uninjured himself ; and Private William Sewell, who was wounded in the head by a fragment of shell.After the usual loyal toasts were given, Sergt.-Maj.Smith, of tho 3rd Surrey, recited \u201cThe Charge of the Light Brigade,\u201d with a drum accompaniment, which wentwcll.\u201cOur Dead Comrades\u201d was drunk in solemn silènes, and a similar honor was paid to \u201cOur Lcad-The old heroes did full justice to an excellent meal, and tho company broke up at an early hour.\u2014London Daily Telegraph.A New Master Singer.( London Sjtectalor.) We are not quite sure whether Mr.William Watson has fallen short of it,\u2014whether any critic who reads the magnificent ode to Tennyson he published in the Illustrated London News, would deny him that indefinable distinction which marks out the poet who has the divine gift from the poet who has only faculty ; but he has done too little work, and has not reached the full recognition which would make a Minister, in selecting him, seem not overbold.He must wait ; though we do not hesitate to say that, of all the hundred strophes in his honor, Tennyson, if he hears them, is content with only this ; or that these few lines, no better than the remainder of the song, indicate to all who understand the possibility that a new master has arrived :\u2014 \u201cFor lo ! creation\u2019s self is one great choir, And what is nature\u2019s order but the rhyme ^ Whereto the worlds keep time, And all things move with all tilings from their prime ?Who shall expound the mystery of the lyre?In tar retreats of elemental mind Obscuraly comes and toes The imperative breath of song, that as the wind Is trackless, and oblivious whence it blows.Demand of lillies wherefore they are white, Extort her crimson secret from the rose, But ask not of the Muse that she disclose The meaning of the riddle of her might : Somewhat of all things sealed and recondite, Save the enigma of herself, she knows.The master could not tell, with all his lore, Wherefore he sang, or whence the mandats sped : Ev\u2019n as the linnet sings, so I, he said ;\u2014 Ah, rather as the imperial nightingale, That held in trance the ancient Attic shore, Add charms the ages with the notes that o\u2019er All woodland chants immortally prevail ! And now, from our vain plaudits greatly fled,\t* He with diviner silence dwells instead, And on no earthly sea with transient roar, Unto no earthly airs, he trims his sail, But far beyond our vision and our hail Is heard for ever and is seen no more.\u201d There being a great, variety in Dry Goods, we would suggest the following, which may assist purchasers iu selecting : Prints -All our best quality light Prints offered at 12c.and 14c.; usual prices, 15c.and 17c.Sateen Prints Fine quality, only 17c.; former price 21c.Pinafores\u2014Iu white Lawn, 28c.and 38c.Pinafores\u2014In white Muslin, 3Hc., 40c., 45c., 48c., 55c.and 74c.Pinafores - In white Mull, 39c., 58c., 68c.Pinafores\u2014In linen Diaper, 88c., 95c., and $1.10.Pinafores\u2014In white CottonStripc, 39c.and 68c.Ribbons\u2014300 pieces lately received, in Satin and Corded in Buttercup, Rose d Orient, Watteau, Pomme, Heliotrope, Moss, Cardinal, Coral, Pink, Sky, etc.Prices, 5$c., 6$c., 8$c., 10c., 11c., 12c., 13c.and 15c.Kid Qloves\u2014Undressed Mousquetaire, in Tan Shades, 88c., $1.00, 81.18, according to length.Ladies\u2019 Dress Kids, 4 Buttons, only 88c.Gents\u2019 2-Button Kid Gloves, only 88c.In deer skin, only $1.00.Serge Dresses\u2014For boys.In Navy, Pleated Skirt, only $1.58 ; all wool.Linen Handkerchiefs \u2014 Ladies\u2019 size, only 12c.and 14c.Hemstitched Handkerchiefs\u2014 All Linen, 16c., 19c.and 23c.Ladies\u2019 size.Gents\u2019 Linen Handkerchiefs\u2014 All Linen, 14c.and 19c.In Hemstitched, 29c.\t* Fancy Handkerchief*\u2014With Colored Borders, 8c., 10c.and 12c.Children\u2019s, 4c.and 6c.\u2018 Dress Good*\u2014In Fancy Cliecks, only 12c.Homespun, all Wool and double width, reduced to 27c.Meltons, in Navy and Myrtle, 22c.Low-priced all Wool Black Goods.Es tain en Serges, 29c.ami 31c.French I will, 25c.and 29c.Wide Black Cashmere.48c.Collars and Cuffs\u2014Reduced to 25c.and 35c.Mob Caps\u2014At 9c.and 15c.Oriental Lace Cap*\u2014Fine Lace, 48c., 55c.and 68c.Apron*\u2014Housemaid's large size white Lawu, 35c.and 38c.Extra, 48c.and 65c.; a very large variety.Cents' Silk Handkerchiefs\u2014In Cream, White and Colors.Prices, 63c., 72c., 85c.and 95c.Fancy Art Silks\u201432 inches wide, 88c.F, SIMARD, 137 St.Joseph Street, St.Roch\u2019s.Telephone 145.PUBLIC ÀC0UNTANT AND LIQUIDATOR.Attends to Auditing of Accounts, re adjusting Books and preparing Balance Sheets.November 19, 1892.Feb22-Lm LIQUIDATION I Great Cheap Sale -OF- Dry Goods !

Fir,\u2014Your Quebec correspondent ts in error in speaking of \u201cthe plate\u201d put upon Mrs.Trotter\u2019s house, Ottawa, after the murder of McGee.It is a small matter, but it-is as well to be accurate.Mrs.Trotter\u2019s, where McGee boarded, and at whose door he was shot in April, 1868, was in Desbara\u2019s\u2019 block, corner Sparks and O\u2019Connor streets.It was a stone building, and one of the at me pillars beside the door was polished ami the inscrip tion chiselled on the stone.Within a year after the shooting the building was destroyed by fire, and the inscription also, of course destroyed.I was living in Ottawa at the time of the murder, and was, I believe, the last person before McGee who passed tbe fatal spot on the morning of the murder.I then lived near corner of Bank and Sparks streets and was present at the inquest, trial and execu tion of Whelan.I well remember the bullet sticking in tbe door of the Trotter house the morning after the murder, with a great patch of bloodstains afoot in diameter surrounding it.Tbe bullet passed through the head, coming out at the mouth, knocking out some of the teeth.It severed an artery and the victim bled most profusely, staining the little light snow for two rods down the gutter.* McGee's latch key was in the lock with a buuch of keys attached to a ring hanging sus peuded.But enough of such details.In lecture on McGee, which I have many times delivered, 1 have many reminiscences of tins remarkable man, whom I knew well, though for a brief time, and whose friendship I eu joyed.H ISTOKICl'3.St.John, N.B., Dec.2, 1892.A largo assortment of Ladies' White Wear damaged by water-\u201cAu Bon Ton.\u201d We now offer our entire stock of Ladies\u2019 Jackets and Mantles AT A REDUCTION OF We 3 are now showing all the New Styles \u2022\u2018Ladies\u2019 Sealskin Coats and Wr^ps for the Fall Trade.20 PER CERT FOR CASH ONLY Gentlemens Fur Lined Coats, CST This includes some very Choice Paris and London M'xlels, of the Latest Fall Importations in SEALETTE.DAMASSE, &c,.Well Suited for Handsome Presents.HEAVY WINTER CLOAKS, FUR LINED WRAPS, Etc.GLOVER, FRY ft CO.Lion, Tiger, Leopard, Grizzly and Polar Bear Skins, suitable for Drawing Rooms and Halls.A large stock of Russian and Hudson Bay Sables.\t,\t.\t_ ^ .ig- Strangers are invited to visit our Establishment.B, R, REMEW & C9.36 ft 37 BUADE STREET, UPPER TOWN QUEBEC Branch : 71 ft 73 KING STRE ET EAST, TORONTO M Dress Costumes COMBINATIONS OF Silk Damask, Velvet and Oashmere, Also Silk Embroidered 25 PER CENT DISCOUNT ! eptember 5, 1892.mar31-Im West of England Beavers, Direct from the Mills.BEAVERS IN BLACK, BLUE, BROWN OLIVE.Meltons in Black, Brown, Blue, Oxford.At Otto New Fashionable Costumes Five Dollars and Upwards.20 Per Cent Discount.For Ladies\u2019 winter coats in all the latest styles go direct to S.Carsley\u2019s, Notre Dame street, Montreal, Glover, Fry & Co.Ulster Cloths, Elysians, Suitings, and Trouserings.John Darlington, OPPOSITE POST OFFIOE.October .17, 1892 Attractive Christmas Sovelties !

As far as Everton are concerned, the present season promises to ba even more prosperous than its predecessors.£1,700 has been taken at their gates in five weeks.Tiie football season will lost until the end of April.At this rate, there receipts may bef3re then reach the huge total of £10,000.Tiie semi-finals for the English Cap in February and March this year realized £2,367 in four games.That is pretty good, though the amount was much exceeded in proportion by the single game receipts for tiie final of the Scottish Cup at Glasgow in the spring, when about £2,000 was taken.Other goodly sums were the Scotland vs.England match in 1890, £1,517 ; the English Cup final, 1891, £1,454, and certain others.Even these sums, however, quite pale before the amount of 38,250 dollars, or nearly £8,000, taken last season at tne Yale-l'rince ton match in America.Here a dollar, or four shillings, was the lowest admission price.It would be interesting to ascertain the result of so prohibitory an entrance-fce at our chief English matches\u2014the Cup Final, for example.At the present time the Sunderland Club are the most lucrative draw on the British football field.They can afford to talk about a £300 gate as \u201c trumpery.\u201d Quite recently this very successful organizition played in five days three important matches iu Liver pool, Glasgow, and Dundee, and won them all.The treasurer of the club, as the result of this little campaign, passed £650 to the club's banking account.There was also the honour, seeing that in each case Sunderland won.The wages received by these Sunderland cracks is a secret.As League players of but ordinary ability earn from £2 to £3 a week during the season, we shall not be rash in rating the Sunderland men at from £4 to £5 weekly on the pverqge.This is about the pay of a first-class clerk in the Civil Service in his first year.And it does not include certain perquisites In the way of gold medals \u2014bank notes for special wins, ami presents of different kinds from enthusiastic supporters, which in one way or another jointly make up a comfortable enough income for a young man who has no establishment to keep up.Néedless to say, in conclusion, that many professional football players do not devote all their energies to the ball.They run public-homes with gratifying success, sure of a cer tain support from the football-loving multitude.It is not an unheard of thing for the goodwill of a snug little pqb to be ofltered to a famous player as a lure in addition to his weekly wage.As the size and, therefore, the value of gates\u201d depend upon the successful play of the home team, and money alone seems able to secure the most successful players, it is more than likely that in future the wages of footballers will rise rather than fall.This will be bad for the clubs as a rule, however agreeable for l he players themselves and expiring to the spectators.Advertising: Mad.Although London itself seems lost to ail sense of shame in the way it allows every ossiblc space which can be found to be made ideous by glaring posting bills, it still has some sympathy for travellers in country dis-I Plootpp fpp TTnn«ïA and T.flnd tncts, where the nuisance is fast becoming I\tHUUbo clHU.LiallU) Drain Pipes, Fire Olay.TELEPHONE 296.December C, 18!>2.Godowsky !

We conld scarce ly tear ourselves away from it to enter the castle.There are two principal entrances One, a splendid/xwfe coCAcre, opens into the grand hall, and is used only when the Queen is \"in residence.\u201d The other is a smaller door, under the clock tower.We very na torally alighted at the small 'door, but the housekeeper, on meeting Us, apologized for not admitting u4 through the grand en trance, making some civil excuse about its being boarded up.We entered &t first long corridor, which is very commonplace except for the fact that the carpet is of Stuart tartan.The Queen is extravagantly TOND OF HER STUART DB80BNTt although it is so remote that it can scarcely be called a descent at all $ and the Stuart tartan Is the regulation one of all the royal household aud visitors to wear at Balmoral.The same tartan is repeated in much of the carpeting and furnishings.A combination, invented by the Queen herself, called the Victoria tartan, also appears in some of the Cürtaina, carpets and furniture of Balmoral.Along the walls of this corridor are numerous engravings, among them many Landseers.It is a strange circumstance that there is not a particle of color in any picture on the walls of Balmoral Coe fie.Every one is an engraving, and consequently all are reproduc tions.Turning to the right, toward the ballroom, there is a sitting room for the gentlemen of the Queen\u2019s household.It is simply furnished } indeed, simplicity is the keynote of the whole interior of the castle.This room has an open Franklin stove, and leather-covered furniture.There aro a few good busts and engravipgs\u2014a bust of Sir Walter Scott, a copy of Detaille\u2019s \u201cPassing Regiment\u201d and some of the inevitable Landseers\u2014 notably Sir Edwin\u2019s \"Deer Family.\u201d There is also &?engraving of Napoleon III., with an autograph.Indeed, all the portraits at Balmoral nave autographs.The Queen and Prince Consort were personal friends of the last French Emperor and the Empress Eugénie, and the ex-empress ÔtTEN VISITS THE QUEEN 4t Balmoral.Farther on is the ball-room.The doors open on a platform, for the ballroom is on the side of theoastle that descend with the terrace, and & double winding stairs leads down the floor.It is a noble room ; but the floor is hardly what an American would call a good dancing floor.Opposite the entrance is a musicians\u2019 gallery, and to the right is a dais, with a crimson sofa and some stately crimson chairs, for the Queen and her royal guests whenever they desire to be pre-' sent at a ball.Since the Prince Consort\u2019s death the only regular balls given at Balmoral we those to the servants and tenantry.Upon occasions there is dancing in the bAll-tboin by the guests at the castle.Back of the crimson dais ate two niches, in which are huge branched candlesticks eight or nine feet high.Around the hall, at intervals, arehuftg claymores\u201d\u2014the ancient Scottish swords\u2014 draped with tartans of the various clans.Returumg to the corridor, we are led further ou to the dining-room, a large and handsome apartment, finished and furnished in oak.The Queen does not always dine here, often preferring to DINE IN THE LIBRARY.But on these informal occasions in the library only ladies are present.Between the dining room and the billiard-room is a little room which is lined with bookcases from top t'* bottom, all filled with Hansard\u2019s Parliamentary Reports.Passing on, the billiard-room is reached.Like the dining-room, it is solid, handsome and airy ; but like most of the other rooms, it lacks individuality.One ond all, they might belong in any fine family residence, or even in a first-class hotel.From one corner of this room a door opens into a small tower-room, in which arc a few chairs, a sofa aud some portraits.Turning to the right we enter the arajving-room.It is im tnense, sunny and cheerful, and overlooks the terrace.The curtains, chairs and carpets are of the Victorian tartan.In one corner is a grand piano.The Queen is passionately fond of music, and was in her day an accom {dished performer on the piano.The only thing noticeable in the decorations is the great number of statuettes of the Queen\u2019s children.A VERY PRETTY GROUP bed-room, dreasing-room and bath.All are Very small, and simply furnished in chintz.The walls of the sitting-room arc decorated with engraved portraits, with autographs of ALL TilK PRIME MINISTERS during the Queen's reign.The apartments of the Prince of Wales are upsinirs, and are directly over the library ami musio-room.Three feathers, the insignia of the Prince, are carved in the stone wall of the castle, on a level with his window.But since his marriage the Prince has stayed, when he has gone to Scotland, at Ahergcldic, a small place five miles from Balmoral.It took us two hours to stroll through the castle, and two hours more to walk about the terraces, visit the dairy, and drive through the park.We spent another hour or two delightfully in the park.Never was there a sweeter spot than Balmoral Castle, or one more elo-uent of peace or domestic charm.No won-er the Queen likes it.She has always desired to have her daughters arrange the sentimental part of their marriage engagements at Balmoral, for, like a true and womanly woman, she believes in marriages of affection.We returned to Bullater with sprigs of heather in our frocks.When we said we had got them at Balmoral u good many people looked as if they thought we were romane ing, so seldom are persons admitted to the grounds.Sugar Bags Instead of Barrels.The Philadelphia Record states that \u201cthe Sugar Trust has contracted with John T.Hailey for five million bags, to take the place of barrels for the shipment of refined sugar.The bags will be delivered in New York, New Orleans and Boston as well as in Philadelphia.This is by far the greatest bag con tract ever made in the United States.Philadelphia in the centre of this important industry.The trust's reason for the change from barrel to bag is that the bag costs and weighs considerably less than its old-time competitor.The weight of the bag is only one and a half pounds, that of the barrel 23 pounds.Thus the difference in freight alone for carrying refined sugar to its destination would pay several times over for the bag.In this view of the innovation the bag really costs the trust nothing, blit comes to its hand with a profit ready-made.The barrel\u2019s successor is a plain burlap bag with a light muslin bag inside.This is the worst blow the local cooperage industry has ever exper fenced and almost wipes out that business in Philadelphia.Flour now goes to Europe in bags and is retailed in the same way.Su,gars brought here front the West Indies and Hum burg come exclusigely in bags, which, after being cleaned, are used up for paper stock The Spreckles were the first to introduce the bag business in the east.The trust saw the advantage at once and took immediate steps to have its ontput shipped in the cheaper way os soon as it gained control of the re fineries.Jenny Lind and the Dean of Peterborough.(Ronald J.McXeill, in the Christmas Century.) Jehny Lind\u2019s judgment of books, though undirected byanytliiug like literary training, always showed independence and penetration.She was a devoted lover of Carlyle\u2019s writings, and the last hook she read before her death was Mr.Norton\u2019s volume of the correspondence between Carlyle and Emerson.No doubt her admiration for the great denouncer of shams was largely due to the intense sincerity of her own character, which made it impossible for her to tolerate even those slight deviations from\tstrict truthfulness which are seldom\ttake» seriously, but are looked upon as the accepted formulas of society, \"l ain so glad to s-se you\u201d would hardly have been her greeting to a visiter whoso call was inconvenient or ill-timed.But, on the other hand, her downrightness of speech had nothing in common with that of Mrs.Candour ; it carried no discourtesy with it, as is shown by the following anecdote, which is characteristic, One day,\u2014it was many years after her marriage,\u2014when she was staying with a relative of mine not far from Peterborough, she attended a service in the cathedral.The dean, who, probably without much critical musical judgment, thought the singing very perfect) was rash enough to ask Madame Goldschmidt how she like his choir.She looked at him with a quiet smile, and replied with an emphasis which could not ho mistaken, \"Oh, Mr.Dean, your cathedral is indeed most beautiful 1\u201d represents the Princess Beatrice, Prince Leo pold and their dog, \"Wardie.\u201d A statuette represents the Queen on horseback, wearing the long riding-skirt which was the fashion in her day ; but her gown is low-necked and short-sleeved, and she wears around her neck the collar of the Order of the Garter.No doubt it is a representation of her, going in state to open Parliament.The Queen was also a fine rider in her youth and even now when past seventy, she rides her favorite old donkey, \"Jessie,\u201d about the park at Balmoral.From the drawing-room one passes on again to the special rooms of the Queen, where she really lives.The first of these is the library which has a very large collection of books The Queen is one of the best informed of women.There are a few good engravings, as in the rest of the apartments, and busts of Scott and Bums.There is also a large table which auswers as a dining table for the Queen and her ladies when she \u2019booses to dine in the library.One door of this room opens into a fine corridor which LEADS TO THE GRAND HALL.On each side of the door is a statue\u2014one 'Highland Mary,\u201d and of Burns\u2019 \u201cHighland Mary,\u201d and the other of Scott\u2019s \u201cEllen Douglass.\u201d There is also an admirable marble statue of the Prince Con sort in this corridor.Commnnicating with the corridor is the Queen's music-room where she spends most of her time.It has two upright pianos and an organ.On the walls are numerous portraits, notably of tw Empresses who formerly possessed great beauty\u2014the Empress Eugénie of France and the Empress Elizabeth of Austria.Each lias an autograph\u2014\u201cEugénie,\u201d aud \u201cElizabeth.There is also a portrait of the Princess of Wales, made at the time of her marriage, and an engraved copy of the celebrated picture of the Queen riding over tlie field of Waterloo with the Duke of Wellington.The Queen bedroom and dressing-room are never show to anyone.The corridor c-u which these lower rooms open is connected with the main entrance hall, which is really superb.Facing the huge doors is a statue iu black aud gilt bronze of McCalluin More, an old Scottish hero.There arc some busts around this hall notably one which represents the Qneen in her early married life.The walls at e ORNAMENTED WITH ANTLERS, the banting trophies of the Queen\u2019s husband and sons ;
