The piece was "Eily O'Connor." Everything about the show was dis- graceful and ridiculous; the scenery "The per- formance," said Mr. Terry, "was very funny, one of the funnjest 1 ever saw, although at the time 1 was too nervy. ous to see the joke. The cave scene was simply remarkable. There was a chair for one rock ands table for another, the water-rows being made of biue gauze and fastened by white cotton on pins from wing to wing. There was no beat, nor a rope for | Myles to swing across with. There | were no ground rows, so 1 was told to walk through the water, and 1 did Eily had disappear through a hole made by turning over one of the ninednch boards.

I, however, succeeded in pulling myself together, and reappearing with the prostrate Eily, 1 hung on to the gauze water, shouting 'Saved--Saved!" and the grey glazed linen curtain descended to loud applause." At the end of the performance, the genial old rogue who ran the show went up to the new re- eruit and said, "Ye'll make a grand actor; here's something for you, me bhoy." "Something" was eighteen. sence, and the next night brought sdward Terry two shillings. The com- pany produced "Macbeth," and the new member found himself cast for six parts. After a deal more knock- ing about, Mr. Terry found himself at the old Grand Theatre, Woolwich, at an advance of 3s. a week on the sal- ary he didn't get. .At Woolwich the young actor used to play 18 parts a week, sing four songs between the acts, and supply songs for the pan- tomime. He studied till four in the morning, breakfasted at eight, was at the theatre at 10, rehearsed till 6, and was back again for the per- formance at6 and played till 12. His next engagement, at Sheffield, ended in the company being burnt out, and | having to travel Lincolnshire with an. | other "fit-up."

In 1867 he got to Lon- don, playing in farce at the Surrey | Theatre for ten weeks, and was then | engaged for the First Gravedigger in Hamlet at the Lyceum.

She seemed delighted with the back-to-the-s0il idea and the prospect | of doing the cooking, washing, and . ironing and house elesning. | "Our departure séems to be plrt of | a general exodus from England, due to the present system of taxation," | said Lord Hyde. "Canada is very | strict about immigrants, and sends | back a¥l ne'er-do-wells, so in time, if | everybody who was fit emigrated from | | England only the unfit would be left there "I'm a tariff reformer. 1 believe that Joseph Chamberlain years ago advocated the only practicable thing | for the real Englishman, whom every. body wants in the country." When asked to tell about the farm, he replied "My brother-in-law, Lord Somers of Herefordshire, bought the farm last fall, and is there now. There is no house on it, but 1 have rented an empty house in Pickering, and we shall have to build our farm house "No, we. are not going in for any especicl cron. We shall raise fruit, wheat, and garden truck. When we have developed into real farmers it is "But was the system of taxation the thing that caused you to leave England?" was asked. "No; there was another reason. One's money can be put out at larger interest in Canada than in England. Besides, we think it will be healthy for the children to 'have the outdoor life that will be their's on the farm "My son will go back to school in the winter, and we too shall return to London when the winter comes on." While Tord Hyde was discussing his plans Lady Hyde stood between the children. . With a hand on either ¢f the children, she suddenly said "We are going to teach our children to forget the titles of aristocracy and buckle down to hard work." Teaching Europe. Canada is spreading out. It was not long ago that we stood open. mouthed at the luxury of Europe, anc now we are teaching it things. The C.P.R. has invaded Austria. The company has made a contract with the Austrian Government to supply and operate a system of observation cars on the most pieturesque sectiong of the Austrian State Railways, in- cluding the main route to Vienna via Zurich. The Swiss Government is also interested in the project. Con- cession has been obtained from Aus- tria that Zurich shall be the eastern terminus, Great interest is ¢hown in the innovation throughout the dual monarchy. Hungarian politicians are already demanding that the 'service be extended to Budapest Canadian Pacific engineers have been selected as being the most ex- perienced in similar conditions pre. vailing in the Rocky Mountains of North America.

This provision was adopted at the request the (Austrian Government, which desires to make the service a popular one, ------------ B. C.'s Big Game. With the exception of antelope and musk-ox, British Columbia has every the continent; even the rarest of them being found in fair quantities. In addition, there are wild fowl and game birds of various species, some native and others acclimatized, that furnish sport; while the waters af- ford the finest trout and salmon fish- ing in the world. [It is probable that | there are more moose to the square mile in the Canadian Rockies than in any other part of the continent, and every year their numbers seem to increase. So far, the country has never been hunted except by a few prospectors. Whether the horns at- tain the large size of the Casgier moose has yet to be determined, but some very fine heads have been seen. In this district, eariboo are very plentiful on the higher plateau, and in places both grizaly and black bear Are numerous. A Profitable Deal. Twenty years ago Dr. Coleridge of Ingersoll gave a gold watch, an in- expensive one at that, for 1,600 feet of land on Soudan svenue, Toronto. The owner got tired carrying them and was quits willing to take $25+for the bunch, but as the doctor's watch was just what he wanted, the doctor got the lots.

ANNE'S PICTURE. -- Famous Old Masterpiece Is Known as "the Miracle Painting." Combining the value of a rare old picture with the virtue of a sacred relic, what known as "The Mir- acle Painting" hangs iu the Basilica at the Shrine of Ste. Anne de Beau- pre. This masterpiece was painted is de Tracey in the vear 1615, and its recent restoration revives an intepest- ing history of the votive offering to "La Boune Ste. Anne." A The Marquis de Tracey wes a spe- cial ambassador to New France sent aut 'by Louis XV., and his mission was both political and for the pur wise of obtaining accurate informa. ion as to the various intrigues that He is said to have also made a voyage of overy to Hudson Bay. During his stay at Quebec he desired to be cured of some longendured malady, and with his countess made a devout pilgrimage to the famous shrine, 1 | which even in those remote days was deémed a place of wondrous miracles. So profound was his gratitude for benefits derived from this devotion, he forthwith announced his intention of donating 4n altar-piece to the shripe, a form of bequest much in favor at that time. Charles Le Brin, the noted French artist, was at the zenith of his sue- cessful career as a painter of histor ical portraits and religious subjecta. To him the marquis entrusted the commission for the altarpiece, specify- ing with much exactitude the com- position of the painting. The central figures of Ste. Anne instructing the Blessed Virgin were to be copied from Ruben's original work, which is now in the Antwerp Gallery. The figure of Joseph was to be omitted. The por. traits of the Count and Countess de Tracey were to be placed on either side, in attitudes of devotion, and de- pioted as pilgrims. The Eternal Fath. er and angels and the dove descend- ing were to be seen hovering above, and the coat of arms of the Tracey family was to be placed in the centre of the picture helow. Ie Brun has worked out this compesition with wonderful fidelity, and now that the accumulated dirt of centuries has been removed, the details of the pic- ture may be plainly seen. The paint ing was ordered in 1615, arriving at Ste. Anne the following year, and has since remained there as the altarpiece of the vestry. The work of restoration has re- cently been completed by Mr. J. Pur- ves Carter, art curator of Laval Uni- versity, under instructions from the Redemptorist Fathers, who 'have charge of the many interesting sae- red relics preserved at the shrine. Advice to Municipalities. Frank advice to Canadian munici- palities desiring to borrow in London is tendered by The Financial Times, in referring to the postponement of loans by the cities of Montreal, Ot- tawa and Toronto. The failure of the recent Vancouver issue to obtain public support is given as the prin- cipal reason for the postponement of thess proposed loans and the cause of this fiasco as well as the difficulty now being experienced in placing Canadian municipal issues is stated to lie with the municipalities them- selves, the reason. being that the municipal authorities have a too ex- alted idea of their predit and are not disposed to listen to the advice con- stantly tendered by the financial agents. "An instance of this," says The Financial Times, is provided by Montreal. In the early part of Feb- ruary, when Montréal was making enquiries abont a new loan, the state- ment was made in the Montreal press that the Bank of Montreal, the city's financial agents in London, had stated that an issue of $5,000,000 of four per cent. stock could be made at 99 per cent., but the city authorities would not accept such a price, and the sug- gestion was made that a better price could be obtained in Paris. "The policy which the Canadian municipalities have been pursuing is to give their loans 'to the highest bid. der. It has been repeatedly pressed upon .the municipalities that they should place themselves in the hands their financial agents to do the best for them, instead of going out. side, and they are now being forced to realize, to their own discomfiture, that it is better to follow their finan- cial agent's advice." Motoring Through Canada. A recent issue of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu's paper, "The Car," contains a four-page article contributed by the Hon. Margaret Amherst, who re- cently made an extensive motor tour through the Dominion, accompanied several wellknown society folk, among whom was Mr. Evelyn Cecil, M.P., whose photographs illustrate the: article. Alluding to the ubiquity of the motor ear in Canada, the writ- er says "In Eastern cities it is natural enough, but in the West it is certain. ly surprising to find it in such gen. eral use. In Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa, cars, with their 'hooters' and odor of petrol, are as much a feature of 8t. Catherine street, or Yonge street, or Wellington street, as of Piccadilly, and the smart appearance. of their up-to.date bodies, occupiad by chic and fashionable owners, is in no way behind that of their Lon- don contemporaries.' Getting Together. While discussing church union one day recently, a clergyman told a good story about Rev. Dr. Carman, the vet eran general superintendent of the Canadian Methodist Chureh. Dr. Carman appearsd at the Pres. byterian General Assembly, bearing greeting from his church. He said: "Presbyterians and Methodists are tting very much alike. You Pres. yterians believe in the Final Per. deverance of the Ssints, but you do pot practice what you ach. We Methodists believe in falling from grace, and wo live up to our creed. fi gels us pretty close together, es it mot?" A tornado drill, patterned after fire drills, has been ted at Waki ta, Okla.

IMS, TROUBLE IN SIGHT. 3 Steam Trawlers Cause Commotion In Fisheries. A condition is rapidly developing in connection with the Atlantic fish. eries fraught with possibilities of ser- fous international complications, In the last few years steam vessels using the Otter or beam trawl! have been invading the waters used by the fish- ermen of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and the New England States, At first these craft caught few fish in West. ern waters, and were regarded with amused tolerance, it being the opinion of our fishermen that the methods of fishing used so extensively in the North Sea were not adapted to the conditions of the banks of the West. ern Atlantic, But the beam trawlers have come over in increasing num- bers, and have already proved their ability to adapt themselves to con. ditions over here and make large catchgs. Now it is contended that their operations are ruining the fish- ing grounds, and a vigorous agitation has been started in the fishing ports of Nova Scotia. New England and Newfoundland with a view to induo- ing the Governments interested to take action looking to th: consumma- tion of an international agreement prohibiting the employment of this Hoe of fishing eraft on the hanks of the Western Atlantic. The Canadian Government has already probibited the use of the Ottar trawl in our ter- 'ritorial waters, and the Nova Scotia fishermen are pow asking that a regu- lation be adopted preventing the Ot ter trawlers purchasing coal or su plies in Canadian ports. That Boi be a rather large order for the Gov. ernment to undertake; some of the beam trawlers hail from England and others from France, and it would be a serious matter, indeed, to deny the vessels of the Mother Country and France the ordinary privilege of buy- ing coal and supplies. And in any case such a drastic measure would not achieve its purpose so far as the French trawlers are concerned, for they can use St. Pierre and Miquelon as a base of operations without any serious inconvenience. In Gloucester, it is said owners of fishing vessels have pledged them- selves to raise $100,000 to fight the invasion of beam trawlers, and in Lunenburg and othér Canadian fish- ing ports feeling runs high and seso- lutions have been adopted at large public meetings, promising the Min- ister of Marine all sorts of trouble if he does not succeed in getting the other nations to agree to prohibit beam trawling. And whether our fishermen follow. ing the old methods of fishing are right or not in their fear that the beam trawler will deplete our fisher. ies, they have good reason to fear the results of the extensive employ- ment of the néw methods: The beam trawlers are labor saving machines Their competition will drive the fishing schooner out of business. The building of wooden fishing vessels will cease, and ruin will fall upon a number of prosperous towns, depen. dent upon the vessel building indus. try. The business of handling fish will be centralized in a few ports, and the existence of hundreds of hamlets along the coast, now people by in- dependent and prosperon: fishermen and their families, will be menaced. A certain proportion of fishermen will find employment on the beam trawl ers, but they will be mere wage earn- ers--without as now a half interest in the adventure. A few big compan ies may make fortunes, but the fish. ing industry will support only a small proportion of the people who now de- rive a good livelihood from it. And with the passing of the fishing schoon- er will disappear the finest class of sailormen in the world, a hardy, vig- orous race, self-reliant, inured to dan- ger--a class from which an empire in its time of trouble might be glad to draw men to man its fighting ships. --Colin McKay in Montreal Standard Mail Can't Wait, His Majesty's mail has quith. aston- ishing privileges. Its drivers have power 10 requisition aid of any kind to avoid delay in deliveries, and City Solicitor Johnston of Toronto tells an interesting experience to show how this is sometimes done. As a member of a hunting party he was being driven one day over one of the indescribably bad roads of Northern Ontario. The driver had the mail on board; he was taking it to a Mr. John- ston is a big man, and as a heavy passenger he may have been the cause of the trouble which occurred. Any- way, one of the horses gave out, and it looked to the Toronto hunters as if they were going to be stranded for days in the wilds. The mail driver didn't take that view at all. Happening to be near the home of a settler, he simply went to that worthy"s stable, picked the best horse he found there, led it out, and put in its place the worn-out animal. The settler came out on the jump. "Here," he shouted, "what in lazes are you doing? Put that horse of mine back quick or there'll be trouble." "No," said the driver coolly, "I won't put it back and there won't be any trouble. I've got to get the mail to South River to-night. I peed your horse to make the trip and 1've fall power to take it. I'll bring it back in the morning." And to Bouth River the mail went, with the settler's best horse making one of the team which took it. The driver was quite within his rights. Highly Unnecessary.
