Luxurious Furnishings of the Car Built for King Edward. The three railway corporations controlling the East Coast route between London and Scotland have just completed a new and luxur- iously fitted royal train for the ex- clusive use of their Majesties King; Edward VII. and Queen Alcxandral and other members of the British royal family. says the Scientific American. Hitherto when the royal family have travelled over portions of the East Coast route the train built some years ago at the Lon- don and Northwestern Company’s works at Wolvcrton has been uti- lized; but now the East Coast com~ panics are in possession of their own special train. The King’s saloon is 67 fcct in length over the body, 9 feet wide and 12 feet 11 inches high from rail level to top of roof. It is construct- ed of ‘teak with a steel underframe and is carried on two six wheeled bogies. Entrance is obtained from . double doors opening inward at each end; the moulding round the panels and windows are of gilt brass ' and the centre of the bottom panels , is ornamented with his Majesty’s cipher: On each side of the doors : are gilt grip handles extending ' from the cornice to the floor. The outside panels are of specially se- lected figured teak and the centre panel bears his Majesty’s coat of arms. ~ Commencing at one end the sa- Lord Provost Urquhart has put forward a proposal for the erection of a City Hall for Dundee, and the ‘construction of municipal build- lugs.

Few marine animals seem at first glance to betray less intelligence than the jelly-fish. Up with the tide and down with the tidc,_car- ried along by this or that current, moving with the eddy of a back- water hither and thither, the jelly- fish has become almost a synonym for helplessness, says the London Standard. ’Scientifically_, of course. the po- pular idea of the jellyfish is wholly mistaken; but it is perhaps only in tropicalwaters that he is found in the perfection of intelligence. In the South Pacific, around the islands of Polynesia, and as far south as the upper portion of the North Island-of New Zealand there is a jellyfish who not only knows where he wants to go, but is even provided with a sail which he can lower at will. The sail, like the rest of this curi- ous animal, is almost transparent, but unlike the body ofthc fish, which is of the usual gelatinous construction, the sail is a meme brane almost as hard as shell. Roundabout the Ellice Group the navigating fish is often found with! a sail measuring five inches across, and he navigates the shallow is- land waters with the skill of a Hooghly pilot, steering in and out, of snaggy places and avoiding ob- structions both above and below the surface with unerring skill.: Like his cousins in home waters this navigating jellyfish has the power of stinging its natural enemies, and its sting is fatal to fish and dangerous to man. >1‘ A MESSAGE 0F HOPE ‘ Til ALL Mll'lllllRS Baby’s Own Tablets come as a message of hope to all worried mothers.

Trusting in the honor of the troops, General Smith-Dorrien, the General Officer Commanding-in- Chicf at Aldershot, England, has issued an order abolishing the pick- ets told off to patrol the streets at night to keep soldiers in order. Up to the present each regiment has had to provide a picket of six men and a non-commissioned oflicer for this purpose. ,. "In the‘ recent manoeuvres the ex- periment was successfully tried of relaxing the order placing public- houscs out of bounds and trusting to the men not to abuse the privi- loge. There is not a single man in the Aldershot command who does not feel that the new order places him upon his honor to behave well. “There is no doubt that other commands will follow the lead of Aldershot in the matter," said a company oliicer. “The picket sys- tem, which treats the men like chil- dren, is bad, and should be gener- ally done away with,” said another Oflicfer. Mr. Reavell, the Chairman of ll e District Council, saidthat the be- havior of the troops during the last few years fully warranted the or- der, for it was a moSt exceptional thing now to see a soldier misbe- having in the streets. The soldi- ers were more educated now and could be trusted to behave in a re- spectable manner. -_â€"‘---â€"â€")X‘___-_-_- GNE 0E CANAELUS GREATEST BANKS. The shareholders of the Mer- chants’ Bank held their annual meeting on December 16th last and the year’s operations show net pro- fits of almost three quartes of a million. These profits are slightly less than the previous year, but conditions have not been so favor- able for profitable operations, ow- ing to increase on interest bearing deposits and smaller earnings from call loans. . The Merchants’ Bank has the reputation of having looked after its own discounting clientele parti- cularly well during the troubled times of the past eighteen months which undoubtedly points to far seeing and careful management. With the revival in trade and the clearing financial horizon they will probably extend every encourage- ment for the development of sound business enterprise. We would par- ticularly recommend farmers to bring their business to this bank if they wish assistance to help theni over the winter season. - With deposits of over $40,000,000, and resources of over $56,000,000, (including immediately. available funds of over Twenty-four millions) surely the Merchants’ ‘Bank is an.‘ absolutely safe repository for the p-eople’s savings.

Thinks It is Rheumatism That is Bothcring Him and Not Gout. “Can anybody tell me,” said the middle-aged man, “the difference between rheumatism and gout? Now, not being very well versed in medical science, knowing very little in fact about ost-eology or therapeutics or anatomy, materia medica or pharmacopoea, I wouldn't undertake, myself, off- hand to say; but in a general way I would say that gout is an ailment that attacks the rich and rheuma- tism the poor; and, being not what you call a. rich man, I suppose what I’ve got is rheumatism. “I have read in novels and seen pictures of portly gentlemen of middle age or rather more who sat in great easy chairs and with one foot all swathed up in bandages stretched out in front of them sup- ported on a foot rest. This is the old gentleman, living in a fine old manor house or in a splendid man- sion in town, who is described in the novel as being testy and chol- eric-choleric, as I understand it, meaning not that he has cholera or anything of that sort but an un- even temper; and this old gentle~ done up in bandages and supported on a foot man with foot thus rest has gout. “But several of my symptoms are I don’t live in an old different.
