The Smaller Candy Places to Be Left For the Fresent--A Threatened Strike of Iron Moulders. Montreal, June 7.---The Allan line steamer Austrian, from Boston for Glasgow, arrived out Friday after- noon. The Allan live steamer Montevidian, from London, passed Matané, inward, at 10.30 a.m., on Friday. It is expected a strike of iron moul- ders; involving 'the calling out of 400 men in this city, will be ingugurated on Monday. The officials of the iron moulders are to decide the matter in view of the failure of the committee of the iron founders and iron moul- ders to come to an agreement regard- ing the claim of the men for a rate of £2.50 per day. The police have been instructed to take action regarding Sunday closing of stores to-morrow, the understand- ing being that.only the large stores are to be proceeded against, the small variety of candy stores being left. In consequence all the large cigar stores in the west end are fitting up candy departments to their places to-day in the hope of being able to evade the law. Church Liberality.

A man who was called on to ad drese a Sunday school in a Pennsyl vania town took the familiar theme of the children who mocked Elijah on his journey to Bethel--how the young- stors taunted the poor old prophet, and how they were punished when the two whe hears came ont of the wood and ate forty-two of them, "And now, children," said the speaker, wishing to learn if hisg talk had produced any moral effect, "what does this story show ?""

Probably few persons realize how steadily, not to say rapidly, the gov: ernment bas reduced our army in Philippines, yet it is a fact that we have in those islands to-day only ab out sixty per cent. of the force we maintained there at this time in 1901, The process of reduction began in Fehmary, 1901, In Jannary, 190i, we had 6793 officers ail men on duty in the islands. By Jenmary, 192, par forces had been reduped to 36.944; in February, still further reductions has carried the strength of our troops down to 33,50, and now Gen. Chaf fee has under his command about 32, 0 American troop=, exclusive of na tive scouts, ete. Senngor Burrows the other day said in the senate that by the time con ress next met in regular session he peliewed that the foree of American troops in the Philippines would be re- duced to 18,000, or possibly 15000 men. The wedition of our forces has been accomplished by sending home whole regiments, those returning fol lowing as closely as possible the or der of their arrival in the Philippines. The regiments return, too, in very good physical condishon, not living skeletons, but real flesh and blood sol diers, fit for duty. As our government would not re duce our military force, if it were not persumsled that the reduction was consistent with the mmintenance of our amthority, this eonstant hom com ing of soldiers marks the extemsion of tranquility in the Philippines and the belief of president Roosevelt and his advisers that, with a moderate num- ber of regulars to back them up, the Philippine constabulary will be equal to pregerving ovder and enforeing the ordinary laws. ENTERED INTO REST. Death of Mrs. McIver, at the Age of Eighty-three Years. The death occurred on Friday after noon of lsghella Butterworth, relict of the late William Meiver, at the home of her son, J. B. Mclver, corner of Barrie and Ubion streets. The de cessed had "been ill for a year, and was confinel to houde for'six months The late Mrs. Melver was barn in Kingston eighty-three years ago, and was probably its oldest resident. She was the daughter of the late John Butterworth, a native of the north of Scotland, who at one time kept a hat manufactory where Mor ton's old distillery is, and who died dering the cholera epidemic in Kings ton in the early thirties. Mrs. Melver, in her voung days, liv ed where the present Dominion ex press office is situated, at the corner of King and Clarence street, and when the late Sir John Macdonald's father came to Kingston, he lived next door, where Theobald's barber shop is now She kuew the late Sir John from his béyhood.

' Whe result of the Lennox recount dis credits the wild claims of the opposi- tion that the recounts would result in placing Mr. Whitney in a majority. The lennox recount shows that there is nothing in the opposition conten tion that the recounts would favor the. opposition from the alleged fact that the deputy returning officers would naturally favor the government can: didate, and give him the benefit of the doubt in the ease of the doubtiul marking of a ballot making a decis- ion dificult.

Now it is doubly lost, for the road and rail- wat pass two miles to the south, and the old trail is seldom tramped save by a wandering sportsman.

And our great grandfathers lived like their houses-- not pnly three score years, but on in- to de sere and yellow till centenari- dns were mot curiosities as at the present day. When a sottlar prospers ed--and many did--physical degenera- tion straightway followed, a larger hotiss was built by his sons, clap- boarded and of two storeys, the floors were laid and other seeming comforts, the old stome hearth and swinging crane, the iron dogs and spit--synenymous with comfort and hospitality--disappeared, and modern ugly box stoves--dead things with never @ blaze to brighten--took their place. ~The "Dutch oven," an iron box buried in hot ashes, was super- seded by the - "elevated" abomina- tions of modern times. But the houses suffered most. Al- ter the log shack (to the prosperous) came the rambling homestead, end thén high, marrow, comfortiess struc- tures, verandahs, became "stoops," and. long French windows--open wide in. sumner. to avery vagrant breeze were done away, and in their pince appeared the "sliding" windows of to-day, which "slide" or not, re- gardless of one's will. Then came the furnace-lurking in the cellar and fill- ing ull the house with dust and heat- ing it until the present generation loathes a draught of pure air from open windows like the plague. Clusters of huts bécame villages, a high, square, false front, backed by a single gable ridge assumed the dig- nity of a store, and can still be seen tn any vilinge, though why the ne- cessity of the "front" now nobody can explain, and , this collection, growing, was called a town. Here row on row close packed together, like huge square boxes (and as pic turesque), comfortless, unsanitary, stand the 'modern' houses.

WHY HE DIDN'T JUNP. --r-- ¥ A Good Story Told By Railway- : Man. Here is one that a young man who knows a good story when he hears it heard one rallrodd man tell another in a depot up the line the other day: "We picked up a new Ivishman somewhere up country an' set him to work brakin' em a construction train at 3 cents a mile for wages. One day when him an' me was on the train she got away on one of them mountain grades, an' the first thing we knowed she was fiyIn' down the track at abaut ninety miles an hour, with nothin' in sight but the ditch an' the happy hunt- in' grounds, when we come to the end.

"Mike," I says, 'Tor heaven's sake don't jump! "He clamps his fingers on the run- pin' board to give him a chance 'to turn round an' lookin' at me con- temptuous, answers: " 'Jump, is it? Do yes think I'd be afther jumpin' an" me makin' money as fast as I am? i # A Boston Translation, Little Emerson--Mamma, I find no marginal note in elucidation of this éx- pression, which I observe frequently to occur in my volume of "Fairy Tale Classics," "With bated breath." What is the proper Interpretation of the phrase? Mamma--"With bated breath" my son, commonly occurs in fairy tales. Your father often returns from pisca- torial excursions with bated breath. The phrase in such instances, however, bas no significance as applying to the balt employed to allure the fish, but is merely an elastic term of dubious meaning and suspicious origin, utilized, as I have already intimated, simply be cause of the sanction which it has gain- ed by customary usage in fairy tales Do you comprehend, Emer. son? \ Little Emersoni-- Perfectly, mamma.-- Judge. Coincidences of Dates. Attention has often been called to the curious fact of the date Sept. 8 fig. uring so largely in the history of Oliver Cromwell. That very dominating man was born on Sept. 8, 1509; he won the battle of Dunbar Sept, 3, 1650; that of Worcester Sept. 8, 1651, and he died Sept. 8, 1658. But we have lately come Across some coincidences of dates which, so far as we know, have not been noticed before. The number 88 seems to have had fatal Influence 'on the Stuarts. Robert 11, the first Stu. art king, died in 1388; James IL was killed at the slege of Roxburghe Cas tle, 1488; Mary, queen of Scots, was bebraded in Fotheringay, 1588 (new styl); James VIL (II. of England) was dethroned in 1688; Bonny Prince Charlie died in Rome, 1788, and with him died the last hopes of the Jacob ites.

Well, I have discovered that he goes over to the Robinsons and lets them feed him and pet him." The Betel Nut. Betel nuts, the produce of the areca palm, are chiefly used as a masticatory by the natives of the east. They dare too small to be applied to many orna- mental uses, but are occasionally em- ployed by the turner and wrought into beads for bracelets, small rosary eases and other little fancy articles. In the Museum of Economic Dotany at Kew there is a walking stick made of these nuts, sliced, mounted or supported on an iron center, A Too Discussion, "You know," sald the orang outang, "that man is descended from a moun- key."
