It is well knnwn that Thackeray expressed his private desire that his Jife might never be written, and.accordingly, it would seem as if Mr.Melville had rushed in where his family feared to tread.His daughter was really the only person who could have given us a satisfactory bingraphy of the great writer.But the bnok, with all its shortcomings, whirh are said to be numerous, ls sure to circulate widely, and we are extremely anxious to see tt, though the only critic whose opinion we have as yet meen writes : \"Of a man like (Thackeray.who psessed the elements of greatness, we head a great biography : Mr.Melville of- ters us a small book of great size\u2019 Let us, however, be thankful that we have a work which will at least supplement the accounts of the novelist given to ua by An-, thony Trollope and essri Marzials, Merivaie, Leslie, Stephen, and John Cam- en Holten.Se stated In a previous issue that the official blography of Milials, long since announced, was on the eve of publication.tt 1s, therefore, somewhat of a aurprise to learn that a volume by Mr.A.L.Baldry, entitled, \u2018Sir John Millais : His Art and uence,\u201d has recently appeared.It Is said to bs the work of a level-headed art critic, and a man of knowledge, and the pleturas for the most part are admirably reproduced.On the whole, Mr.Baldry's lUttie book is declared to \u2018be, as far as {t goes, an admirable album of Millais life rk.\" work.Another book.published in New York and London, by Longmans, Green & Co, will be eagerly read by all scholars.forms the second series of \u2018Auld Lang Friends.\u2019 for a sympathetic ment of Indian Ideas, and the author bitterly complains that in England an ordinary man of narrow education will taboo as a \u2018nigger\u2019 a Hindu whose intellectual powers and learning are infinitely above his own comprehension.Among the new books and reprints we may draw special attention to '\"Maximliil- ian in Mexico\u201d (The Century Co.ew Yor.) \u201cThe Memoirs of Victor Hugo\u201d (3.W.'

Where Command of Committee was Not Obeyed.Further evidence was heard for the de fence by the Park Committee yesterday af ternoon into the charges made against the Park Ranger, Mr.McGibbon, that he had {ll-treated the employees of the park, that be took liquor to excess, that he was not eareful of corporation property, that he kept ponies ou the mountain against the commands of his committee, that he fed the ponies, lus own property, on oats, belong: ing to the eity, etc, etc.All the evidence taken at yesterday's session proved that Mr.McGibbon was not given to taking liquor to excess, that he did wot ill-treat the men, and that if at times he had given away a few flowers or plants it bad not been in anyway to benetit hun- self.At times he had planted trees, when rertain parties had asked him, in the streets of the city; but the Park Ranger claimed he was justified in this as the trees, ence on the streets, belonged to the city, and beautified it.HE HAD NOT STRICTLY OBEYED.It was proven, however, that Mr.Me Gibbon, against the commands ol the committee, when it made a new agreement with him about a couple ni years age.had hept three ponies belunzing to himself on the mountain.These pones.however, he clanm- ed to have ted himsell, and invoices Were roduced to prove that vats hal been ught for thee pones; thus the only wrong that had been dune was in having kept live stock on the mountain when he had been ordered by his comnuttee not to do so.In regard to the feed of the pon jes 1t was shown that on one nerasion the stableman, on the pars, had given the pon- jes a fred of the corporation outs, but Mr.McGibbon explained that he hud not been aware of this till after the stableman had used the few oats.It was proven that if Mr.MeGibbon had recewved any lntle kind- nesa from the city he had often returned such kindnesses in allowing bis own horse to do free work for the corporation, and in often buying towers himseli for the city when he had not suthvient 1m the green-housps.At the upening of the meeting a letter was read from Mr J.A Molson, one of the witnesses who had given evi dence at the last mertung.The letter protested against the insinuations that had been made by Ald.Ouimet, at the Jast session, that he (Mr.Molsont was not a sober man.With tlus protest was a letter from Mr.Molson\u2019s employer, saying that Mr.Molson had worked for him for three years, and that he had found hrm e sober and industrious man.The letter was Inid on the table, the chairman, Ald.Ames, remarking that the committee had nothing to da with enquiring as to the habits of witnesses.THE FIRSTIWITN ENS.The first witness was ex Ald.Cunning bam.» He knew Mr.McGitbon well.Often went to the mountain.Had never seen Mr.MeGibbon drunk.Thought the mountain was very well kept.M.A.Courville, labourer.employed at the Park, deposed that he had worked for a number of years on the park.Naw Mr.McGibbon every day.Had never seen him uoder the influence of liquor.Had never been ill-treated by Mr.McGibbon and had never seen him ill-treat other employees.He had not been one of the employes who had been asked to go to the house of Ald.Ouimet and make compluints, if he desired, against the park ranger, ; Witness was put to a long cross-examina- tion by Ald.Lareau and Quimet, but nothing of interest came out of it.During the cross-examination Ald.Stevenson bitterly complained at the length of time that was being wasted upon useless cross-examina- tions, and Ald.Ames said this investigation would never be ended if more haste was not made.It was too had to drag along the investigation at such length, when a great deal of important business was waiting for the committee to transact.Continuing, witness swore that Mr.Me- Gibbon had not promised him any favours if he would come and testify.He acuin swore that he had never seen Mr.McGib- bon under the influence of liquor.AN OLD EMPLOYEE TESTIFIES.Ferdinand Branz, the next witness, said he had known Mr.MeGibbon for many years.ad worked on the park as la bourer for tem years.Had never seen Mr.Mctiibbon drunk all the years he had heen employed in the park.Had always been well treated by Mr.McGibhon.Personally had never been sworn at by Mr, MeGibbon, When men had come late to work, nr would not do their duty, he had heard Mr.MecGibbon scold then.The men had sometimes then answered Mr, MeChbbon back, and then.perhaps, Mr.Mefahbon naght have sworn at them.Ifad not heard Mr.Me(iibbon swear at any man if he had nat heen given provacation.Had alwavs seen Mr.MeGibbon attending to his duties on the mountain.IF Mr.Methibhon had ever heen drunk on the mountain he would probably have known it.Mr.Melihbnn had never threatened to strike witness with his cane, Being cross-examined by Ald.Ouimet, witnes- sad he never stated he bad not seen Mr.MeGibbon on the mountain for In the \u2018gone old dave a man\u2019s care for his health was marked by the completeness of the armor in which

or contrast with that of the walls.Ivory paint always looks well, and will not clash with anything.The bath will probably be encased in polished wood, but if not, the case may be painted to match the woodwork.It is an excellent plan to finish off amateurish efforts in painting with a coat of one of the well-known enamels.A good bath enamel should be used for the inside of the bath, and pale shrimp pink is a colour which looks particularly well here; failing this, ivory is the safest tint to choose.e floor may be covered with one of the mow well-known cork carpets; a matting is likely to be

hiding themselves in out of the way nooks and corners.Among these, soap-dish, nail brush, tooth-hrush stand, candlestick and matches, should be found, A water bottle and 'a-< should alwave be in

alike bow before the mysterious arbiter who decrees that which shall be correct, not ooly in manners, in clothes and in deportment, but also in what is personal, vital and all important.They accept | their bondage cheerfully, and, as a matter of course,bardly realizing they are in chains, baving never known freedom.The world is a barometer, rising and falling as the breath of public opinion directs.The world is a sheepfold in which the inmates play \u201cfollow the leader\u201d in thorough sheepish faghion: the world is a veritable aggregation of children eager for something to play with, provided the toy possesses the distinction of being rare as well as novel.ln these days of veneer, everything old- fashioned \u2014except articles of vertu\u2014is relegated to the gurret, the rubbish heap, or oblivion.To be fin-de-siecle is, the great est good to some, to be strictly convention: al the most desirable thing to others; but to be with the majority is the aim of all.We have new names nowadays for old follies, seeing we cannot give up the follies themselves.We are up-to-date in our virtues and we pride ourselves pn our new social commandments.We welcome the skeleton escaped from our neighbor's closet, provided it 1s masked and irreproachably garbed.We turn up our noses at anything shoddy and to show our sincerity buy au worked \u2018\u2018sampler\u201d to hang on the wall that the world may kuow our grand mother, not only existed, Lut hid master: ed the intricacies of the alphabet, and so to speak, had it at her fingers\u2019 ends.The fashions of to-day are not, in percple, the styles of yesterday, or even of the day be: fore.We furnish our rvoms with chairs and tables in imitation of a by.gone cen tury, drink tea from Japanese cups and stir it with apostle spoons while wondering why the world doea not dovetail in every part.We sigh because cement won't hide the cracks in society so comfortably that no one would guess their existence, or make like new our own little bit of the pattern.Life is given up to the observance of form.The \u201ccorrect\u201d has become a cult.The calf worshipped by the idolaters of the uineteenth century is not even of gold; but a tinsel affair called conventionality by its devotees, and a harsher name by its critics.The great unwritten book of life\u2019s etiquette is faithfully followed.One does what others do.Fruit is fashionable, only when gathered sub-rosa.To purchase in the open market place savors too much of what is practical; of barter and sale.Apples must be stolen froin an orchard to be either palatable or worth the baving\u2014eand apples are everything.The world is doubtless a very good place, at least it\u2019s wise to think so, but it teems with pretence and is filled with humbug, nevertheless.We are all puppets, and we know it, yet foolishly allow another doll, or syndicate of dolls, to pull the strings which make us dance.Free will may be our rightful heritage, but we played the part of the elder son and tossed it away for that cheap mess of pottage, other people's opinion, which causes more misery and unhappiness than even careful investigation would reveal.Most minds wear a sort of mental strait-jacket which erampe and confines them far more than a similar garment does the body.We train the minds of the children that come our way much as the Comprachicos did their bodies in the glorious period following the Restoration.We twist them and turn them, we break and bend and guide them according to the best of our ability, and never dease our - earnest and well-meant endeavors until individual ity in merged in the grotesque as the result of our efforts.The mental diet that falls to the lot of a ehild has as much to do with the matnred mind as ordinary food has to do with the final development of the body.We do \u2018more than partake of the nature of that which we eat; we are practically that which we are fed upon.The wtatement that \u201cthere are people and people eertainly seems too nbvious a fact to awaken comment and yet in our judgment of our neighbour it is something that even the wisest of ua ir apt to forget,or ignore.We instinctively set ourselves up as à standard pnd judge the rest of hu manity by our own needs, failings and vir tues.We see the world by reflection only.We accept it at the same valuation that we set on ourselves and so, are deceived in it.There's a grain of truth in most proverbs but in none more than which declares thaf like weeks like; that \u2018\u2019birds of a feather flock together.\u201d Life winnows the chaff from the wheat and in spite of ourselves, by the working of a law unbreakable as those of the Medes and Persians, we would find ourselves relegated to our proper level were it not that the crust of society upholds all whose garments are clean in outward seeming.The existence of classes, the separating of individuals only to mass them together again, are due to many causes.Environment, hereditary influence and force of gir- cumstances have much to do with it, but to the casual observer they weigh but little in comparison to money, or the lac of it.One's respectability, according to Becky Bharpe, is largely a matter of finance and cky after all was a bit of a philosopher and knew her world.Money is a ealing salve.It is if not a panacea for every ill, yet as near an approach to a cure-all as the world is likely to know.1t makes the difficult road easy, it heals the deepest wounds; it soothes the sorest heart and makes even life worth the living.It is poison and antidote.The most unthinking, as well as the deepest thinker among us, will admit that there is a good deal more in a reputable garment, gracefully worn, than lies on the surface.Instinctively one lives up to appearances and in consequence clothes make a vast deal of difference in other thinge than deportment.They are the hall mark of respectability, which society exacts from those who suc or fight for its favour.Clothes are a wonderful moral force and a tailor a modern magician who doea more to keep the prisons empty than An army of blue-coats.Clothes are the index to one\u2019s moods.An outward barometer which will repay careful study.A woman with her fingers sticking out of the tips of her gloves is as helpless as a wooden house in the path of a cyclone.A man accustomed to the dignity of immaculate clothes could never master a situation when n deep shadow lay like a blight upon his linen.There is much more in the-cut, shape and hang of a garment than the first man knew when he took to wearing pinafores.The courage conferred by suitable raiment has won more personal and minor battles than \u2018\u2019Dutch\u201d\u2019 courage ever has or ever will.This is widely accepted as truth throughout the world for many philosophers in most languages have dwelt npon, reiterated, and endorsed the fact that there is more moral support in fair seeming than in the knowledge of well doing.And: as clothes have varied from folinge in the earliest recorded time to the brond- cloth of to-day, so men bave väried with their apparel.There are as many types in pes as in clothes.They.run

this was the first occasion .on which military nurses had been employed on active service, I was natural ÿ anxious that all should work well,\u201d aud san fortunate in baving excellent workers, Who helped me materially with their cheerful co-operation.\u201cWe sailed from Southampton in the Union steamship Pretoria on June 19, 1879 and after a pleasant, uneventful voyage of three weeks landed at Cape Town, where we met with a kind reception from Lady Bartle Frere, the wife of the Governor, who took great interest in all matters relating to nursing work.At Durban we reported ourselves to Surgeon-Major Wills, and began our work at the base hospital, which was composed of tents, and which we found full of patients suffering from malarial fever and dysentery, under the care of two sisters sent from the Cape by lady Bartle Frere.All the equipments, dicts, and nureing arrangements were ou a home footing, and the patients, thanks to the healthy surroundings, made satisfactory recovery.We remained at Durban until the commencement of the Sekukuni Campaign, when we were ordered to proceed to the front, We left Durban by train, and, leaving two sisters at Pietermaritzburg to form a base hospital, | and three sisters roceeded in the manner known as *\u2018trek- ing\u201d to Pretoria, and from there to Mid.dluburg.\u201cMiddleburg in those days consisted of one fairly-sized house (belonging to an English widow lady, who bad seltled there with her six\u2018sons, and who put up Lord Wolseley, then Sir Garnet Wolseley, and his staff), a handful of cottages, a store, and oite narrow street.The hospital, consisting of tents.was on one side of the Olifants River, and a guard of the King's } Dragoon Guards was on the opposite bank.The sick and wounded from the front were brought in by cas 8 to us, and we soon bad our bands fuil.We could get little or no fresh meat, and the sick diets were a difficult matter.Our provisions consisted of tinned meat, tinned potatoes, tinned butter, and tinned milk, no bread, biscuit being the subs tute.Thanks to the National Aid Society, who bad made me their agent, I was able to obtain milk and eggs by means of pative runners.There were three natives who were posted at different stages, and who passed the bottles of qulk to each other.By the time we got it, an ordinary wine bottle full of milk cost 1s.Eggs were very scarce, and proportionatly dear, and had to be brought from long distances.All the cooking had to done on outdoor ovens, made bricks, Indian fashion, and in wet weather couse great trouble.I had taken out with me two oil-cooking stoves, which were \\n- valuable as I con x beef-tea, and heat the water for fomentations on them.As a great treat, we occasionally got a tough old sheep sent into camp, and then we had fresh meat The National Aid Society provided us with champagne, port wine, rends.Lie- big's extract, and jelly, all on such a liber al scalé that when our mick were drafted down country I was able to give the medical officers in charge supplies to last them for the sick until they got to the base; this was an enormous boon, as such things were unobtainable, except in towns like Durban.We had no laundresses so had to do our own washing, which was not dif- ticult, as we were on the bank of the river.The ironing was the great difficulty, as the sisters wore Targe white linen aprons, but We overcame that by laying the wet things between two large stones and then sitting on them, which produced satisfactory results.As the wounded recovered snfficient- ly to bear removal, they were sent down by easy stages to Pietermaritzburg, and from there to Durban, and so home.But the dysentery and fever cases took much long er, and were our principal care.\u201cWe tried to make Christmas Day na cheerful as we could, and as a kind friend in Durban had sent us a present of neces sary materials I undertook to make, a plum pudding.I had assistants in stoning the raisins, chopping the suet, and candied peel in the persons of two wounded Rifle officers, who were convalescent, and pearly everyone able to had a stir for luck.One of the King's Dragoon Guards officers shot an ancient goose, and kindly sent it to us had to cut it for our Christmas dinner.in half to get it into our small oven, and put a layer of tinned potatoes under it.At four a.m.Christinas morning some of the bandsmen of the King's Dragoon Guards crossed the river, and standi our tent played \u201cHark the Herald hai sing,\u201d a kind thought which reminded us of home and our dear ones.One of the misters, suddenly roused by the music, started up, and, bursting into tears, exclaimed.\u201cOh, are we in Heaven?\u201d à reflection that did not give her unmixed Joy apparently! We had three or four Swazi warriors amongst our patients, and though they could not speak a word of Engli - tleman could have had ner.eine Cod manners than those men we are in the habit of regarding

left Middleburg under the charge of a military convoy for Pretoria, where we met with every kindness from Sir Owen Lanyon, Military Governor.From Pretoria we \u201ctrekked\u201d to Pietermaritzburg and joined our two sisters, and from thence to Durban.We had a good many opportunities of judgi f the dislike the Boers then had Ë Fnglish- egge for men.We were refused milk and our fever cases, and rude remarks were our ssed upon country.We heard one Hay that a Boer lad had fallen from his horse and injured bis head, sü, as we were passing the house, I and a sister went to ask if we could be of

great ov- ed for her Yindueus and \u2018amiability.Of this the following story gives a charming u o I illustration.The King had bought a fine werviec of Nevres porcelain for che use of the Royal Family, and he announced that any bra: e would be followed by the instant dismissal of the servant who cai it.One day a man, who had been for many ears one of the royal servanis, went tp he queeu in the greatest distress, and çon- fessed that he had broken vue of the precious cups, Queen Emma cousoled him as best sbe could, and told hiu to stick the cup together with cement.The men, replied t the king would eertainly ne the erucks.\u2018Nevertheless the Queen bade Lim mend the cup as neatly as possible, and give it t6 her that afternoon at teatime.\u2018this wus dope, and the Queen.after drinking ber teas, rose suddenly, letting her cup fall on the floor, where it Jay broken to atoms.\u201cThink of me,\u201d said ashe to her husband, \u201cas one of the most clumsy of your Majesty's servants.I have broken one of the precious Serves cups, and I don't deserve to remain in your service, You must dismiss me at once.\u201d The irascible old king was amused at her demure map- ner, and considered that accident quite a joke.He had no idea that there was more m it than met the eye, and that the Queen's so-called clumsiness had earned her the poor servant's undying gratitude.The housekeepers of fifty years ago considered it a careful housewife\u2019s duty to take care of her own silver or to direct its cleaning, if left to a servant, as many pieces were of priceless vale or beirlooms.n the busy life of the women of to-day, time seems to be too precious to devote to such work, and knowledge is made to take the place of labour in the intelligent household.Instead of scouring, and rubbing, and polishing each piece of silver, the service may be cleaned in a few minutes as effectively as if an hour or two hours were devoted to it.After each meal the silver should be put in a clean cedar tub or dish- an kept for the purpose and covered with hot water, to which a teaspoonful of powdered borax is added, then taken out immediately and laid on a soft linen cloth, and each piece rubbed quickly with a piece of chamois skin.Silver should never be rubbed.with flannel or cotton cloth.When not used it will become tarnished if exposed to light and air; therefore, to keep it in good condition, each piece should be carefully wrapped in white tissue paper.The plated ware will assume a new dignity treated in this manner, and will always look bright and clean.The practice of women changing their names at marriage is very ancient.Ladies of ancient Rome were known by their husbands\u2019 names, thus the consorts of Pompey and Cicero were spoken of as Julia of Pompey, and Octavia of Cicero; and women im most countries signed their names in the same way, but after a time omitted the \u201cof\u201d This fashion came into use in Britain after the Roman occupation, but at the beginning of the seventeenth century the custom seems doubtful, for Catherine Parr so signed ber name even after her second marriage, and we always read of Lady Jane Grey (not Dudley), and Arabella Stuart (not Seymour).Lome ple copsider the custom of a woman taking her husband's name as originating in the teaching of the Bible, that \u201cthey twain shall be one esb.\u2014 The height of

Three Musketeers.\u201d This version was made by Sydney Grundy, and is presented in a series of ten stage pictures, the first being a scene in the Vicarage at Vitray.Here occurs the branding of Milady with the terrible fleur de Lys.Some ears elapse between this scene and the fol: lowing.The action of the remaining tableaux takes place within the space of three ays.There is much skill shown in the construction of this play, and the character- drawing is forceful and diverse.It differs in many respects from the version which Alexander Salvini used\u2014a very good version, by- the way, and containing scenes which we miss\u2014and also from the version composed br Henry Hamilton, which has served E.H.Sothern last season and a rtion of this.One needs to see all three in order to realize

part of Milady, is not the equal of Miss Bates\u2014in some ways she makes the character too \u2018 lurid.\u201d She is at her best when she narrates to D'Artagnan the fiction of her capture by Buckingham, in her interviews with Richelieu and in the final scene where she mockingly hands the Cardinal the er which he has furnished her.Edmund Breese acts with remarkable skill the role of the

version were made, I should say that there are certain passages which approach too closely to the burlesque.Humour, gayety, light-hearted abandon, are all needed; but the grim tragedy, the crime, the treachery, the horror of that old time also need emphasis.Henry Hamilton\u2019s version reproduces that grimness and tragical horror more than this.D'Artagnan's narrative of his getting possession of the aeen\u2019s jewels was one of the most vivid things in Hamilton's version.There is nothing approaching it in Grundy's.But there are comedv touches in Grundy's version which are diverting, and they serve to give relief from too much tenseness of feeling.It is a popular play and brings out in certain very atriking and interesting ways the artistic acting of Mr.O'Neill.CLEMENT SCOTT PRAISES

PENSIONS.An English Politician Makes a Unique Use of the Gramaphone.ENGLAND The peace of a select circle in Oxford is just now considerably disturbed by the facts baving leaked out concerning a very thrilling ghostly visitation which happened a few weeks ago in an old house, reputed for a long time past to be haunted.No tenant had been found sufficiently bold to hire it until lately, when some young ladies connected with the Salvation Army, under the lead of Miss W.a well-known worker among the poor, ventured to take it off the landlord's hands for a small rental.The first night they slept there they were much disturbed by uncanny noises and by the strange sounds of the moving of furniture.Determined to discover the truth, they set to work in a very methodical way by flouring the staircase, so as to detect footsteps, and by pasting up the fireplaces.They, moreover indu the policeman to watch the house, so as to prevent any knavish attempts upon their credulity.The result was highly unsatisfactory, for on their second night of their stay they all saw the figure of a woman apparently issue from the wall, and pres up the staircase and vanish.Miss W.deposed that the apparition actually \u201cpassed through her own person, as through a door.\u201d On the following night Mise W.was upstairs, the other two ladies remaining in the parlour.Sud: denly Miss W.beard an awful scream, and rushed down to see what had happened.On the staire she was met by the ghost, which once more \u2018passed thro her.\u2019 Nothing daunted, the brave lady proceeded to look for her companions.She found one of them in strong convuisions and the other in a dead faint.The sad story is that one young lady bas since gone raving mad from the effects of the fright, and the other died a few days ago from the same cause.The ghost is that of a tall female in a long gray dress or robe.The Criminal Investigation Department of London is enquiring into a case, which for sensational details may perhaps rival the baby farming exploits of the no torious Mrs.ntly a young woman placed her two-year-old child out to nurse with à young couple living at mersmith, with whom she had come in contact through the medium of an advertisement, but on calling at their house a few days ago she was surprised to find they bad gone away.A few days ago a parcel was found on the foreshore of the bames at Battersea, containing the body of a child, with its limbs doubled upon the chest, which was identified by the youn lady in question as the one she had placed with the missing couple.A post-mortem examination revealed that the child had been brutally murdered, and then thrown into the Thames.The ies of sev other children, with their limbs.tied up in a similar manner have recent! nu

Cardinal Vaughan, replying to a deputation of trades\u2019 unionists in London on the subject of Old-Age Pensions, said he felt most strongly that proper and adequate rovision must be made for the aged poor.t was impossible for the average wage earner to save money, and although workmen should be encouraged to practise thrift no scheme could be satisfactory in which the men themselves had to contribute to the fund.He would not discriminate too closely between the deserving and unde serving poor.He would propose a pen sion of ten shillings a week to necessitous persons at sixty-five.It should be easy to, obtain the necessary funds for such a scheme.A terrible accident happened at Leeds the other day, resulting in the death of two steeplejacks.The men were engaged to repair a chimney

companies and bringing its bountiful supply from Loch Katrine, 34 niles away.Ten years after its waterworks were opened it bought up its gas companies, and began to make its own gas, which it has done ever since.less to say, it does its own electric lighting; and it works its ewn trams, which radiate to all ita suburbs, and in balf-penny stages are now produc ing ten thousand pounds a week.Ita street improvements have been many; it has cleared a large area of slums; it runs municipal lodging-houses and a day nur sery; it has a autiful botanic garden with la conservatories in the west, and à people\u201d concert-room or palace in the east, besides the usual string of parks, markets, and other inevitables; and it has housed itself in one of the most commmand- ing and convenient of municipal buildings which has quite altered the appearance o the centre of the city.In short, Glasgow is a good-looking place and worthy of its position.A Parliamentary return bas just been ublished

& recess which had been built up in one of the walls.The paper was found hanging by a string, and had been intentionally hidden.The writer of the document appears to have been Sur- n Edward Booth, who gives an interesting account of the building being turned into a military prison in 1846, when there were three wards containing 37 cells, while in 1848 another ward with 12 cells was added.Tt was in the wall of this ward that the paper was deposited.In addition to giving a list of the local prison officials, the names of the leading officers in Scotland in 1846 are noted, and also the troops serving in North Britain at that time.Few imagine that stilta are regularly used in Scotland, where they are still used in some parts for fording rivers, says the London Daily Graphic.r.J.M.ie, in the \u201cLittle Mimster,\u201d refers to the stilts for crossing the Quharity, and the farmer of Waster Lunny crosses on them to have a crack with the dominie, the nearest bridge being some miles off.They are actually used in Invermark Deer Forest in North-Weat Forfarshire, near the foot of the \u201cLadder,\u201d a path over the hills to Braemar.Each stilt is formed of a stout birch sapling leaving a fork to grip the foot and prevent it slipping off, the ordinary horizontal step being scarcely secure: enough when bumping and sliding over the stones and boulders in the bed of the stream.The crew of the Stonchaven fishing boat Frigate Bird are reported to have met in with a curious marine monster whjle eight miles off the Kincardineshire coast, a few days ago.It was said to be black in colour, with a thin white stripe running to the tail.It came pretty close to the boat, and raised a long, slimy-looking arin out of the water till it towered thirty feet above the deck.The object remained in sight for five minutes.It is alleged that the management of one of the big Glasgow works have settled the old age difficulty to their own satisfaction.They weed out the greybeards

hide was one of the bad features of the old method, the branding appearing on the best part of the skin.Gibson's patent will add a value of SIX or seven cents at least to every hide to which 1t is applied, and 1t ws needless to add that in countries Hke Austraha and New Zealand, where militons of cattle aru raged every year, such an advance tn the price of hides exactly meets the desire of

gather ing.Practically, neither party left British territory.Vancouver formed an admirable half-way rendezvous.A man can be married in Melbourne cheaper than ang other part of the world.One minister offers to combine together loving couples for 10s 6d, another for 7s 6d.and so on down to 2s 6d.Mount Kenia, in British East Africa, has at last been climbed.Mr.Mackinder, of Oxford University, is the first man to reach the top, which is 18,000 feet above sea level.WORLD OVER.According to recent.advices, Persia is threatened with outbreaks among the people on account of the failure of the harvest and the dearness of bread, and the trouble is accentuated by the debasing of the copper currency owing to private coining by many of the State officials.In order to compose the people, the Shah recently caused fifteen Teheran bakers to be arrested by the police and publicly punished in the streets.Twelve of the bakers had the left ear cut off, in three a cord was passed through the nostrils, and .all were nailed by the right ear to posts, and received 2, 000 strokes of a rod on the soles of the feet.At first the people were satisfied with these measures on the part of tHe Government, but as the bakers hegan to close their shops and as several of them died from the effects of their punishment, disturbances again broke out, and they threaten to become extensive.A number of troops have been sent to Teheran to preserve order.The open-air marine treatment for consumption has been practiced with success for several years in Southern Brittany.The Pen-Bron hospital is famous for ite cures.It is used mainly by working people, the cost of maintenance being defrayed by the local authorities, by whom they are sent.Its success has led to the creation of a mag nificent private institution at La Baule, a few miles away, for well-to-do patients who can afford to per for treatment.The new boapital, which is built of granite, looks out upon the sea from beautiful grounds, surrounded by evergreen pine forests.It has been fitted out on a luxurious scale, with a special system of drainage.The hydro- pathic department comprises hot and seawater bathe, seaweed baths, electric brine baths, and hot-air baths, together , with vapour, douche, rain, shower and medicated baths.A medical gymnasium is smother feature of the hospital.Labour is very scarce in Mexico, owing to the wave of prosperity which has swept over the land, apd there 1s talk of importing negro labourers to that republic from Jamaica.The Mexican Herald says that within the next few months there will be great activity in the way of railroad building and the construction of port works.Fully 20,000 labourers will be required and as most of this work will be done in the districts affected with yellow fever, the problem becomes more difficult.It is impos- rible to secure men from the north to go down into the hot country.Three thousand five hundred and three vessels of all kinds passed through the Suez Canal last year and of this number 2,205 carried the tish flag.i for 1898 were larger than fa any previous year since the opening of the canal.On October 6, a statue of John Ericsson was unveiled in the presence of an enormous crowd at Gothenburg, Sweden.Nearly 40,- 000 achool children with banners marched by the statue, which was modelled by the Swedish sculptor Fahlstadt.The National Council of Switzerland has adopted the law regarding compulsory insur ance against illness and accidents.NORTH BRUCE NOW.Soon there Won't be a Leg Left for Diabetes to Stand on.All over the Country Diabetes is being v uished by Dodd's Kidney Pills race, \u2014Thomas Brooks, of Nerth time-His Case Required two Dozen Boxes.NORTH BRUCE, October 27.\u2014 How ever, it is in other parts of Ontario, this big toe of the province knows the value of Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills for Diabetes.It was not so long since Diabetes was considered incurable throughout Bruce County.Anyone who contracted Diabetes, or its twin malady Bright's Disease, were given up as hopeless by physicians and friends.And some of the most prosperous, popular and influential men in Bruce have been carried off by Diabetes.Seldom, indeed, nowadays is a denth from Diabetes in this district.Dodd's Kidney Pills are too well known here for that.Diabetes is cured before it advances to n dangerous degree generally, though there have been cases where prejudiced wople trying everything under the sun before resorting to Dodd's Kidney Pilly, have been snatched from the cdge of the grave by their use.The case of Mr.Thomne Ricoks, of North Bruce, belongs somewhat to tlus latter class.Mr.Brooks says: \"I was troubled with Diabetes.I consulted a doctor, but he could not help me.1 have also used other medicines but got no relief.I have used two dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pilla and am completely cured.can highly recommend this medicine above all others.Two years ago I could not look up to the top of a building, my back was ro bad.Now I can stoop and bend with ease.The doctors wanted to perform an operation, but I would not \u2018allow this.Dodd's Kidney lills are better than doctors.\u201d 256 1 4 for 10 Conte, 5,5 oa

the Liberals have no delusions on this pont.as as shown by the sugmiticant cir- eumstince that they andualge in precios Iittde boasting over the achievement, Theirs bas been the task of ecarrving out the de tails, uot because of any especial fitness or eagerness on their part, but throuzh the accident that finds them in offices ar ts juncture.They hive taken advantage of this portion to give the

While Sir Wil frid explained to the Globe ju-t why no declaring in favour of it.thing could be done, they loudly insisted that something, and enmething creditable, must be done, They were not en office and could not set the machinery of the Militia Department in motion, but Sir Charles Tuprer telegraphed lus cagerness to support forward action in the matter to the Premier, thus assuring him that when he advanced there would be no fire from the rear.Indeed, Lieut Col.Hughes, M.D, a Conservative of the Conservatives, has been clamouring for a contingent for months back, and went so far as to offer to raise one himself.Everybody knows that it was the persistent insistence of the Conservatives and Independents which forced the Government to act.They raised the country on the question.and the Ministry retreated inch by inch.A.has been said before, the Conservatives vw re in power, though the Liberals were in oilice.The plan was of Con- the details and the open deprecation were (oft ta

\u2018who what had gone before, would be certain that the contingent was a Conservative proposal from the way that the Liberals attack and belittle it.They are still in opposition.They may have by virtue of their salaries to do the work imposed upon them by \u201cthe party iy power,\u201d but no power on earth can keep them from carping at it with their tongues while they carry it out with their hands.eme PLANT DOCTORS.The calling in of a doctor for a plant would class itself in most minds with founding an orphanage for bereft cats.But Mr.J.B.Carruthers tells us in the curtent Contemporary that \u201cplant doctors® are wanted in the world.And when we come to consider such cases as the treatment by Phylloxera by spraying with \u201cthe Bordeaux mixture,\u201d which saved the vineyards of France from destruction, we realize that plant doctoring may be of great practical utility.The American Department of Agriculture recently estimated the losses from plant diseases in that country at $200,000,000 annulilly, and it is said that the medicinal treatment accorded one disease of peach trees\u2014\u201c\u201cpeach leaf curl\u201d\u2014secured à profit to the Californian peach growers alone of £äw,.v0.Thus plant doctoring may be more than a conservatory practice, intended rather for the cure of ennuied mortals than of vegetable invalids.Mr.Carruthers points out that \"plant doctors\u201d have now a very difficult path to travel.To begin with, their patients cannot tell them how they feel nor warn them of the first approaches of a sickness, as the | closely watched as are usually the animals consulted.huroan patient cen.Nor are their subjects \u201cThe .\u201c sbout whom a \u201cvet.\u201d is plant is, as a rule,\u201d says Mr.Caruthers, \u201cin a parlous state before the agriculturist or horticulturist obnerves its distress, and is most often dead and spreading its disease to its neighbours before the plant doctor ts consulted.\u201d What this means can be seen by transferring the conditions to a human What chance would 8 medical practitioner have of getting at the facts respecting a disease if he saw nothing but a dying or dead patient possibly in a state of putrefuction - and could learn of the progress of the disease which brought about the disaster\u201d Then the plant doctor cannct isolate is patients, gor has he the advantage of the blood system to

Mr.Ross appoints a eom- mission, nat to learn the state of public opinion, but to find out whether lis Liberal predecessors in the Treasuryship have dealt trankly the quiblie.It as amazing\u2019 To admit doubt on such a question 18 to condemn an administration utterly.In cae some may think that this is not really the question submitted to the Russ Commission, will reproduce the statement of ats mission made by the Toronto Globe.After explaining that the action of the Government 1+ due to the fact that the Ontario Opposition have \u201c\u2018irequently complained that there was no audit of

\u201cthe Premier, in taking over the Treasury Department, teit that at would be an advantage both to himself and the pubic that some additional assurance should be given of the accuracy of the accounts furnished to Parliament from time to tune, as well as of the methods practised by the Treasury Department in keeping the accounts of the province, the Globe says that a commission of bankers has been appomated Vo examine the books and accounts of the Treasury Department.and to report, among other things, first, as to the methods of bookkeeping employed in the department; second, as to whether the >titements made by the Treasury Department are as full and complete as statements usuaily made by large financial concerns; third, as to the correet- ness al the annual balance sheet submitted to Parliament; fourth, as to the character of thie vestments of the Government; fifth, as to the assets and hidndities of the province.with we The moment Mr.Ross can admit that there 1s any doubt, suflicient to call for a commission of enquiry, about the ** correctness of the annual balance sheet subantted to Parliament,\u201d he gught to explain why he sat for so long silent in the same Ministry with the Treasurers who submitted these doubtful balance sheets to Parliament.It is a far graver thing, he will note, to accuse a Treasurer of making an incor- let r.port of his financial transactions than to charge that he acted unwisely or even extravagantly.But Mr.Ross does not bring the charge, it will be replied.No; but he thinka it of suflicient weight in the publie mind to justify the expense of a rommiscic 1 to examine the records and see if it be true.How Mr.Harcourt, the retiring Treasurer, can continue to sit in Mr.Ross\u2019 Ministry after he has appointed this commission to enquire whether his balance sheets were *\u2018 correct,\u201d is one of the mysteries of politics.Mr.Ross is himself to take the Treasury- ship now.Like our own Liberal Premier in Quebec, he prefers to do double duty and look after the purse himself.No mote savage comment on the worthiness of Lib- cral administration of public finances was ever made.But Mr.Marchand had the good grace not to appoint a commission to enquire into the \u2018\u2019 correctness \u201d\u2019 of the bookkeeping of his predecessors\u2014possibly because a couple of Conservative Treasurers intervened between him and the last Liberal Ministry.ANGLO-GERMAN RELATIONS.If we may judge of the feeling of the mans of the German people from the opinions expressed in the editorial columns of their

LONDON, October 28.\u2014 One of the best militury experts in London takes a serious view of the British difficulties in Boutb- Africa.Ile asserta that the British plan of defence of the western border id as défective aa the Glenene Ladysmith line in Natal.which Gen.White was compelled to abandon in the hour of victory.It in- eludes three weak garrisons.separated by.long distances.The Boers are already be tween Col.Plumer and Baden-Powell, tween Mafeking and Kimberley * and tween Kimberley and Capetown.Thus three weal.garrisons are cut off from one another and cannot be reinforced, This critic predicts that the Boers will speedily captyze which is incapable of defence, and he fears that Kimberley will also be taken.He \u2018also fore casts raids from the Free State border, by which Ladysmith wil) be cut off from communication with sea.re railway crosses several rivers on its way from the coast base, and he asserts that nothing will be easier than the destruction of bridges by bands of five hundred or u thousand raiders from the mountain passes.Even if Gen.Joubert\u2019s force is not massed between Ladysmith and the sea he apprehends that in spite of the encouraging news received from the western border, yesterday, Gen.Buller will learn soon after his arrival at Cape Town that Mafeking has fallen, that Kunberley is closely invested und that Gen.White's army is cut off from lis base of supplies and ranforcements.He also forceasts success of the Boers in harassing the army corps on its long march through the Free State to Preturia and in constantly threatening lines of communication by unexpected raids apd destruction of bridges.He scoffs at the idea that the British will have a boliday ~march north: ward when the army corps is ready to advance in December.These are the views of an experienced veteran, who has fought many battles, but it is only just to add that he assumes that the Boer Generals will display more emergency and tactieal «kill than they have shown during the last fortnight.A foreign military attache, competent to express an opinion and entirely friend- y to England, =uin up the situation thus: \u2018It's quite true that the Brntirh have done admirably wherever they have been ane smled, antheting severe losses on the enemy, and upsetting the plans of the Luers ge nerals, besides creating a moral pression vf power not expected of their numbers.Yet they are outnumbered in Natal in the proportion of two to one, or at least three to two.They are most seriously outnumbered and beleagured at Kimberley and Matelong, and at each point they are beng attacked with seins tiie skill and stohd, persistent courage.Oue cannot but be uneasy for the Natal field force in =uch a situation, wnile the capture of Knuberley or Mateking may very possibly prove to be a mere matter of days.\u201d BOERS ARE TREACHEROUS.A Flag of Truce Stopped British Fire, Whereupon the Enemy Resumed.LONDON, Ovtober 28 \u2014The Daily Tele: graph publithes 1lus despatech from ata} otal correspondent: 4 ADYSMITH, Monday.\u2014In the latter part of Saturday's action (at Elandslateles the Boers hoisted a flag of truce, Thereupon Colonel Hamilton ordered the men to cease firing.The troops stood up, when a party of Boers furiously resumed lining.On the same day other parties were guilty of simular treachery, one firing irom a house which was being used as a ho.pital.Another party, when close pressed, threw up their arms in token of surrender and took advantage of the soldiers grounding their nfles to shout and in several instances, to escape.The surgeons have found that a percent: of expanding bullets bave been used by the enemy.Crenerals White, Hunter and French, with their staffs, made the round of the hospitals to-day.The Town Hall and churches, as well as tents, are fitted up with beda.The medical arrangements are ample and complete.A number of the wounded Boers were allowed tn go into their own near Elandslaagte, STILL QUIET AT LADYSMITH.The Expected Decisive Battle Has Not Yet Been Begun.BUT BOERS ARE AGGRESSIVE AND EXCITING NEWS MAY COME SOON.(Special to the Star.)

Dundee shows the British were forced to move their camp twice in order to get out of the range of the excellent Boer practice.Just as they bad decided to evacuate the second camp a shell killed two soldiers.When Gen.Yule heard of the battle at Elandslaagte, he sent a mquad of Hussars, under Col, En Knox and a battery of artillery to intercept the Boers at Biggarsberg.The artillery succeeded in shelling the Boera as they were retreating over the Umpati mountain, killing and wounding many; but the artillerymen were forced to retire by the rifle fire of the enem It appears that t shelled the

Day\u2014Great Enthusiasm.\u201cThere ig assuredly a considerable change in public vpinion, if political weetings can be accepted as criterion of the feeling that 1s spreading through the country,\u201d smd a prominent Laberal, witer last mght's cathu siastie Conservative meeting in the Muna pal HÂl of the town of St.Louis.\u201cWell, J have resided in this district for several years past; in fact since St.Louis 18 Bt, Louis; us you know 1 am one ot the most ardenl suppoyiers of the laberal party, believing in its principles, believing in its programme, but after baviug seen to-night's meeting, | musl conless to you there 15 u great change going vu in public opinion.In fact, last nights meeting at St.Louis was the most successtul, the most enthusiastic, that the Conservatives of the district où Montreal have held for wany a day.It was bot that the slice dies contained any Wportant declaration, the itutsudiate impression produced by tins gathering to a La disinterested party Was One of haruwouy al union, sure signs of success | The meeting took place under the aus pices of Club Muri, one of the most flour- hing political ansoctalious of Montreal, and was presided over at rst by Dr.Ber- nier.who then ceded this place of honour to the mayor of the town, Mr.Leonidas Villeneuve.It is stated that the ball can hold about 700 people, and it was hterally packed to the doors.It is estimated that at least pne thousand clectors, Conservatives -aud\u2019 Liberals, came from all parts of the city to hour the specches of the stand- ard-bearers of the Liberal Conservative party in this district.Hon.Mr.Tuillon was the first speaker of the evemny, aud he dealt principally with the Manitoba schopl question.The Liberals, with Sir Wilfrid Laurier at their head, claimed daily that this burning question was settled and finally buried.Our co-religionists of the West suffer yet.The Federal Miwsters had made promises, and, as they had violated these pledges, the elect Sorate would hold them to strict account.The Conservative party at the last elections had sacrificed itself, wo to speak, on thia very question, preferring to sacrifice power and government to such a great principle, Successes pass, but justice remains.Mr.Rodolphe Monty, udvocate, of this city, was then called upon by the president to address the meeting.In a stirring speech, he congratulated the electors upon the successful gathering.Elections might come at any moment, and he was glad to see that the great Conservative purty was prepared to meet those who captured the reins of power in 1896 by false promises,and by not keeping the given word.Mr.F.D.Monk, Federal member for Jacques Cartier, then followed, and was received with general applause by the whole meeting, Tle principal subject dealt with hy the speaker was the immigration liey of the present (Government.Monk rtrongly denounced the policy of importing Doukhobors, Galicians, Finns, and the like at great expense to the taxpavers.He also reviewed the Yukon scandals, and eaid that he believed the Government should have excluded all foreigners and kept the rich mineral deposits of that region for Canadians, and Cénadians only.After short speeches hy Mr.A.Cor neillier and Dr.Germain, the Footing closed amidst the greatest enthusiasm.IN THE CIVIL COURTS.Judicial Sale Set Aside on the Ground of the Insufficient Notice.Judgment was rendered yesterday in the Superior Court by Mr.Justice Curran in the case of Walker et vir.vs.B.T.Henderson and .R Henderson ant, and plaintiff contestant.Opposant flled- his opposition to the sale of goods seized in this cause, on the ground that they are his property, having been purchased by him at a Judicial sale in an action of one Wovenden Henderson, the present defendant, in the Superior Court, a long time previously.The plaintiff contests the opposition on several grounds, amongst others.1.Because the pretended judicial sale, at which opposant claims to have been adjudicataire, was fraudulent and null., 2.Because the judgment upon which the execution issued and under which the sale took place, was the result of fraud and conspiracy between the present defendant, his attorneys, and the bailiff who made the sale.8.Because no legal notices of the sale were ever published, as required by the Code ot Civil Procedure.4.That the ho tices were illegal and insufficient.notice In the French newspaper was Ihe only insufficient, but misleading.The name uf the plaintiff was incorrectly given, and the district of St.Francis mentioned.instead of the district of Montreal.In neither notice was the place of sale mentioned, no street nor number being given.nor any Indication as to where the domicile of the defendant was to be found.5.Because the sale was clandestine ; the adiudicataire was the only bidder, and the goods were sold vi prix.The charges of fraud and collusion between the parties, In so far as the attorneys of record and Wovenden are concerned.have not been made out.The court held that the plaintiff had made good all tha material allegations of fraud und lilegality, and the court main- talns the contestation of the opposition, with all costs against the opposant.\" A oppos- By Mr.Justice Doherty.Dame A.Lafortune ve.Fontaine.\u2014Judg- ment grauling separation as to property.Dame M.Turgeon vs.L'Union St.\"n- cent du

Shoulder high those twenty-six stalwart volunivers for South Afncan service rode to the Bonaventure station escorted by hundreds of uniformed soldiers, and thousands of citizens.There wus a band, there were pipers galore, there was singing abd rousiig cheers all aux the line.The euthususm wus returhabde and contagious.Ihe last were first in thes matter.The send off was first and toremost a nulitarv affair.Every regiment in the city was represented in the parade.The Fum hers were out 10 force, the whole battalion escorting the nien to the station.Large detsctinents from the Vics, Scots, Artuilery, Battery and Hussars were also present.The general public was there, too, and there in goodly numbers, and they had not left their enthusiasm at home cither.They brought it with them, and # cusionully, in tact, quite frequently, let it loose in geuer- _ous quantities.They were not strad of using thew Jungs, and their throats; and the resuit was a demonstration of magmfi- vent proportions; à send-off worthy of the best traditions of this city, à place far famed for ate hospitality, From the moment the band of the Fusi- hers swung out of the dnll shed at the head ol us strange a parnde as ever was seen in Montreal, until the National Anthem put a vlimax to the evening'B proceedings at the Bonaventure station, there was hardly anv cessation in the outburst of enthusiasm with which each one feit himself overflowing.The cheers, the noise, the yells, the minging, were such as only soldiers and students know how to make.The streets were crowded, Guests at the St.Lawrence Hall, and other St.James street hotels, did not know what to make of the hub but.All they could see was a motley crowd of militiamen and civilians carrying aloft on ther shoul devs certain men in uniform.Who these men were they did not know, but that they were THE HPROFS OF THE HOUR was certain.Then the band only played kuch airs as are generally rendered when troops go to the front, and the music, wag well played too.Both bands of the Fusiliers were present, and the march to the station was enlivened bw such selections as \u201cAul Lang Syne,\u201d \"Rule Britannia,\u201d \u201cSoldiers of the Queen,\u201d \u201cThe Maple leaf Forever, \u201ctiod Blesa the Prince of Wales,\u201d \u201cTommy Atkins,\u201d and \u201cThe Girl I Left Behind Me.\u201d In several of the selections, such as the Canadian national air and the stirmng o'd patriotic songs \u201cRule Britanmia\u201d* and \u2018Sold- ters of the Queen,\u201d the vast concourre of citizens and mihtiamen jmned, and for a moment the volume of sound from young and lusty throats quite overpowered the music of the band.Then the Vics, who formed a solid phalanx to the rear of the contingent, tried to let everybody know that they and he men they were sending forth to the scene of action were all might.Nia, boom, rah! who are we?We are the boys of the V.RC, San blazoned farth tramphakty at various stages of the march.The Royal Scots, not to he outdone by their uptown rivals, started up thelr regunent erv: \u201cHah, rah, rah, hip.hip, hip, Ibhotaon's dandys, R.5.C.\u201d The Artillery followed suit, and for a time pandemonium reigned supreme on the streets of Montreal.\u201cWhat's the matter with the Montreal Star?\u201d shouted the crowd, as they passed the Star office on St.James street.\u201cIt\u2019s all right, oh, ves.vou bet.Who's all right?The Montreal Star.\u201d was the answer, given by hundreds of lusty throats.WOULD HANG KRUGER.On the way down St.James street a good deal of einging was, of course, indulged in.Ta the tube of \u201cThere's a Sweet Bye and Bye.\u2019 the boys rattled off a splendid chorus beginning with * There's a place where the Buera ought to go.\u201d Then the old marching song of John Brown's Body lies a Mouldenng in the Grave,\u201d was altered to suit the occasion, and instead of the time honoured words urunlly associated with this song, the boys bellowed forth at the top of their voices \u201cWe'll hang old Kruger to & rnur apple tree,\u201d accom- anying the same with \u201cGlory, Glory, Hal- Piper\" ahd other marks of approbation.A perfect torrent of groans and hisses greeted the query, \u201cWhat's the matter with the Minister of Puble Works,\" whenever such wae asked during the parade and at the station.A splendid scene was witnessed as the ve T5 AS THE LAST OF MONTREAL'S VOLUNTEERS DEPARTED FOR THE TROOP-SHIP\u2014SCENES AT THE STATION.crowd passed the Queen's statue on Victoria square.Some one shouted, \u2018What's tbe matter with the widow of Windsor?\u2019 In an instant every hat was doffed, the parade was stopped, and for the space of several minutes the air rang with the ac clamations of the enthusiastic crowd.Then the band started up the national anthem.In a second every one was singing it.The grand old chorus swelled out on the evening air, and added greatly to the impres siveness of the occasion.Several of the boys were carried on the shoulders of their comrades all the way from St.Lambert hill to the station.AT BONAVENTURE the acene baffles description.It was taken by storm.The crowd surged around the doorway, and it is a wonder that someone was not trampled to death.It was the biggest possible kind of a jam, and everybody was glad when at length, after a good deal of shoving and pushing the platform was reached.Even there the crowd was exceptionally dense.Once in the midst of the surging, moving mass of humanity, it waa impossible to extricate one's self, and so the great majority were carried along with the crowd, until almost the rear ot the platform was reached.In the struggle it was with difficulty that the musician's hung on to their instruments.But like the bull dog in \u201cWhat we have we'll hold,\u201d they succeeded fairly well, and, as a result, the \u201cmedley of sweet sound\u201d did not cease until the halt was made.Then it was ascertained that the Inter colonial train which was to bear away the boys to Quebec, was on another siding.In a minute, there was a scramble across the tracks, and under the cars to where the train was standing.The scene which followed was such as to warm the hearts of those who were leav- mg home and friends in the name of the Queen.The departing heroes were lifted bodily in the air and bounced, until pant ing und out of breath, with hair dishevelled and torn umforms, they were glad to seek refuge in the special car.Even there they found it impossible to escape from the crowd, which besieged their citadel at every vantage point.The car was crowded with the mothers, sisters and fathers of the boys, who were busy with THE LAST GOOD-BYES.In many cases the scene had its pathetic side.But the lads themselves were buoyant and cheerful.Outside, the crush was terrific.\u2018lhe number of people on the platform bad steadily increa until very little breathing room was left.To add to the discomfort of the occasion, à large de tachment of the Vics, headed by the regi: mental bugle corps, made its appearance at the station, and steadily pushed its way down the platform until the car containing the \u201csons of the widow\u2019 was reached.There they stopped, and cheered everybody from Lieut.-Col.(Gordon and Capt.Laurie down to the humblest member of the contingent.To get out of the crowd was the desire of everyone, Up to the top of the freight cars the living mass of humanity found ita way.Even the roof of the train shed held its quota of enthusiastic militiamen.\u2019 A shunting engine standing on a track Just opposite the Intercolonial train was quickly boarded.The heat and smoke and steam did not deter the boys from secur Ing positions on the cab and lantern, and nothing could dis\u2018 dome.Once there, lodge them.his whistle.\u201cIt's only a biuff,\u201d shouted one in the crowd, \u201cstay where you are\u201d shouted another.And stay they did, until finally, the train containing the members of the contingent pulled out of the station.And when the train did start.what a scene! Every window was alive with faces and outstretched hands.In some cases it was a mute but hearty shake the inmates ot the car received: in others it was accompan- wed by a hearty \u201cgood-bye\u201d or \u201cGod bless you, old man.\u201d In all cares the parting was of a nature In van the engineer blew \u201cthat showed that the hearts of those left behind went out to those who were on the move for the front.From away down the other end of the platform could be heard the strains of \u201cAuld Lang Syne,\u201d Many who heard it could not renress their emotions.The tears flowed, and men were not ashamed of them.On a rear platform stood a group of the mothers and sisters of the boys.It was hard for them to bear up under the trying circumstances, but they eaucceeded fairly well until the train had passed out of sight.Then their pent-up feelings could be no longer suppressed, and one and all freely gave way to their emotions.After the departure of the boys, the crowd lined up on the station platform; the band played God Save the Queen; officers and men saluted, while the stirring THE same.examine this Shirt at VERY BEST WHITE DRESS SHIRT In Canada, for the money, 50c.You talk about grocers sugar at cost price, but we are selling the above shirts at soc per dozen less than what is asked by manufacturers for a shirt not as good as this one, but we are making a smallfprofit just the selling We have the inside track in buying and manufacturing these goods.If you want the best value for your money, come in and Corner of Craig and Bleury Sts.or 2299 St.Catherine Street, \u2014 264121 CAUTION.Owing to the large and Increasing sale of -r a See that the label reads Cucumber and Roses.a number of useless imiia- tions are being offered to the public, Be sure the label reads: «Jelly of Cucumber and Roses.\u201d It has no equal for Ohapped Hands and all Roughness of the Skin.JOHN LEWIS, Chemist, ox vuvesa.ms THE MONTREAL DAILY STAR\u2014SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 18%.CHEERED \u201cTHE SONS OF THE WIDOW\" The Echoes of the Down Town Streets Reverberated Therewith, and With Patriotic\u2019 Musie \u201cNature Abhors Vaccam.*\u201d othing in the world stands still.If you are well and strong day by day ths Blood supplies tts tide of vigor.If you are fil, the blood is wrong and carries increas ing quantities of diseased germs.You cannot change Nature, but you can aid her by keeping the blood pure.Hood's Sarsaparilla does this as nothing else can.Be sure to get Hood's, because CAUTION.Ask for and take no other.Dr.Lovejoy's mut Carbolic Tooth Powder Proveuts Tartar, Hardens the tiums, and gives to the Teeth os PEARLY WHITEN Ens.JOHN LEWIS, Chemist, 2208 St.Catherine street, cor.University.251 ad notes swelled out on the evening air;

F.Whitley, 6th Hussars; J.B.Maclaren, D.Y.R.C.H.; Major R.Cos.tigan, 3rd Field Battery; Lieut.\u2018Col.F.B.Busteed, Victona Rifles; Lieut.-Col.Ibbot- son, 5th Royal Scots; Lieut.-Col, Labelle, 65th Battalion: Capt.-Adjutant Bond, Capt.(+.H.Ferguson.Lieut.Dobbin, Capt.Sfmith, Colonel Davidson, Lieut.Davidson, 5th Royal Scots;

that they understood the necessities of the case, They agreed that if an expenditure of this kind could be made legally they would be more than willing to comply, and Ald.Sad- ler remarked that if the constitution would not allow it then they had better have a new one.It was then decided to turn the matter over to the city attorneys for a decision and the members of the committee would meet at 2.30 p.m.on Monday when they will take action.The Mayor and Alderman Stevenson then requested that some very necessary repairs be made to No.7 fire station, Notre Dame street, east.The amount required was by no means large, but it took a very 3 amount of talk to settle the matter and finally decide to make an appropriation of $350.It might take $450 to make the repairs, which consisted of renewing the foundation and sidewalk, but the $350 was taken with good grace.CLUB OUVRIER.\u2014 The inaugural meeting of the Club Ouvrier Conservateur, will be held on Monday evening next in their hall at the corner of Maisonneuve and St.Catherine etreeta.The follow ing speakers will address the assemblee: Mr.Iton McDonald, Conservative or ganizer, Messrs.Arthur Cote, i La- marche, J.Poitras and others Special Notice.It is not mere goodness ghat gives the Chickering Piano its vaJi¥\u2014it is EXCELLENCE voi That word \u2018\u201cExcelleriod\u201d well describes this world-famous instrument, for says Webster, it means \u2018surpassing others in some good quality or the sum of qualities,\u201d and that is exactly true of the Chickering Piano.A fine stock of these ar tistic instruments always on exhibition in our Chickering Parlours.The D.W.Karn Company, Limited, Karn Hall Building, St.Catherine street.Slater Bros.handle fine shoes only, because they know their business.How much safer it is to buy of such firms;
