ambitions to collect taxes is made of sterner staff a man who ref used to pay his taxes was taken in hand by the collector and hammered for three minutes at the end of which time he withdrew his statement that the tax was a robbery and pid the amount ex the right honorable joseph chamberlain and lord randolph churchill are having a tolerably warm time in birmingham where the former has held sway for many years mr chamberlains course in parliament and oat appears to have offended the lories of the constituency while the dash and vigor of lord randolph churchill have apparent ly touched a popular chord and the young independent tory peer is said to be cuttin theijtouud from underneath the old repre- sespve m tricoupis the grecian prime minister is appearantly some such man as bonlanger he is according to reports anxious to stir np a f ass in crete and wonld like to establish control of the island it may ultimately be found that the late troubles there are trace able to greek sources nevertheless the noti fication of the saltan that any attempt on ths part of greece to land troops or incite a rebellion will be considered a cause for war will probably dampen the ardor of the greek prime minister especially seeing that the great powers appear to endorse the turkish view last year a fearful acoident ooonrred in canada in connection with a balloonists feat at an exhibition ft was nob the bal loonists fault and was not down on the bills but even in the regular performance itself there was enough risk to make it a foolhardy attempt quite on a par with the suicidal ventures of niagara cranks this year the same crowd that shuddered and wept over the sight of a man falling from a great height to be killed on the ground will be enabled to regale itself by viewing a man jump over a hundred feet into a net this kind of thing will work out its own cure after a time the annual consumption of beer in the british j elands is over twenty two gallons per head and of wines and liquors about five quarts per bead while this consump tion represents a good deal of moderate drinking it cannot be denied that it has al so produced a large amount of drunkenness the conviction for drunkness in 1885 were 154 601 in 1887 they were 139 492 and in 1888 they were 156809 these figures do not represent the number of drunkards on the one hand there are drankarda who never get into the courts and on the other hand the aggregate is swelled by repeated oonviotions of the same person statistics recently published by the new york independent show that the growthof t le churches in the united states dnring the past year was very great the increase in the total number of communicants of all churches was 887000 of church buildings 3882 and of ministers 3865 the metho dist church is the strongest of the religions bodies having 4723887 communicants and atter it come in the ordernamed the roman catholic baptisr presbyterian luthsran congregational and episcopal churches the rapid growth of all of these bodies seems to indicate that those twho maintain that christianity is losing ground are very much mistaken the prospect of the mail route and the australian trade being diverted from san francisco to british columbia continues to cause intense uneasiness out there the san francisco examiner thinks that the steam ihip line ought to improve the servioe for it says so long as the canadian paoi- fie will carry passengers from yokohama to london for 300 and give them a less sea voyage by two days and carry them in a most luxurious style from vancouver to the atlantic seaboard and vioe versa without ohange of cars landing them in liverpool a day and a half earlier than by the american routes the british line will nnqnestionably oontrol the traffic the new frenoh law of nationality may give rise to tronble it provides that those whose fathers were french at the time of t their birth are frenoh oltiz9ns whether born in france or abroad and that they oan only cease to be suoh by securing the formal consent of the frenoh government to their naturalization abroad the constitution of the united states provides that every person birn in that oountry and subject to its juris diction is an amerioan citizen it may happon therefore in case of a war in which france is engaged that persons who are amerioan citizens according to united states law will be held liable if found in france to military servico the laws of the two countries on the subjsot of citizenship are directly conflicting the next distinguished visitor to this wuntry will be lord brassey who has so far interested himself iu canadian coloniza tion as to become president of a colonization comoany having 26000 aores in the qj appello valley one good feature about lord brasseys dominion enterprise is the faot that it was too large companies can not settle vast traots with success as many canadians who have interested themselves in experiments of the kind know to their sorrow an undertaking that will provide the land for a hundred or two hundred settlers has the better ohance of succeeding the company in that case has its resources well under control as lord brasseys com pany has a capital of 250000 it will be able by loans to eqnip all its sottlers well the new york tribune asserts that tho canadian journals in their excitement over the sezure and escape of the blaok diamond lose sight of tbo threatened ex tinction of the furseal species by unrestrict ed fishing and bunting this is not so nor have canadian journals discussed the matter in such a way as to justify suoh an assertion what they ohjsot to is that tho government of the united states after re cognizing the right of canadians to fish behriogsea by asking great britain to join in arrangements for the protection of the fisheries and after receiving a favorably re ply should without any attempt to make suoh arrangements adopt the high handed course that it has ex 5 the medical health officer in montreal y who proposes to examine into tho causes of tho excessive infant mortality in that city believes he will bo able to show that many gonag children die through the weakness of tfiev mothers omen who instead of spend- 1 ng their youth in healthful occupations have been consigned to factory life there can be little doubt that the unhealthy con dittous att ching to the average factory are srovocttive of disaster to lot operative in naaear future ic ew v supposed that they have cast the shadow of death upon posterity still it it probable that the onnatuval life the operative leads impairs the constitution and render the snpport of the young during the earlier period of existence impossible the place for workintr girls is not at the bench lub in the kitchen a montreal doctor prescribed ten grains of btraphate of morphine for a tick child by mistake he had intended to write bi- sulphate of quinine the result cf the pre- f cription was the death of the little patient there is no such thing at bi sulpfcate of mor phine the doctor therefore holda that the druggist instead of supplying the sulphate of morphine at he did should have enquired of the writer of the prescription what drug he really intended to administer had he done to the error ib it urged would have been discovered in time the occurrence shows how easily a fatal mistake may arise yet fortunately such mistakes are extreme ly and wonderfully rare in toronto they are guarded against both by doctors and druggist the former read and reread their prescriptions the latter call np the doctor and require hit consent to a danger ous prescription before making it np it is now announced that having made a six months test of electric motive power the boston street railroad company has found it satisfactory and will at once adopt the electric system the company has 250 miles of road and the cost of the ohange from horse power is estimated at 4500000 the reaaons given for the step are that one central plant will operate the entire system and the cost of operation will be less than onehalf that of running horse cars that the oleotric cars will run at a speed of from twelve to fifteen miles an hour which is oneeighth faster than the average speed of the new york elevated trains and that the earnings of the company will be increas ed from thirty to forty per oent these are certainly good reasons the day of the horse car in large cities on this continent appears to be coming to an end wives and sweethearts it is in domestio life that nntidiness cans- en the greatest mischief remarks ojcar wldes womans world it means waste of time waste of money waste of affootlon in nine esses out of ten it is the cause of strife and nnhapplness often of utter ruin far more marriages turn out unhappily through nntidinesss than from any other cause i do not mean the ordinary sort of personal nntidiness that so many women fall into after marriage the ceasing to make themselves attractive tjoagh that in itself is disastrous enongh but the mental nnti diness that prevents women from thinking onb a subject to the end many a girl has married full of love good resolution aid the best intentions resolved to be careful and economical in her house keeping and always keep her home in pris tine freshness and prettiness bub she soon finds putting down everything she buys is a very tiresome business besides she says to herself i only buyjusbwhabl want and putting down every penny wont save me a penny and she very soon finds that she loses a good many pennies the weekly bills grow in the most alarming manner the weekly allownace is no longer sufficient to meet them one has to be left over one week another the next and so on rill all are in arrears while the husband good easy man thinks everything is going on quite smoothly and praises bis wife for her good management and skill in being able to have everything the same when beef and mutton and coals and butter as so much dearer sbe flattered by his praise cannot bear to admit that she is all behind and so the matter goes on till it cannot be con cealed any longer if the husband is a prudent man and has made some provision for such a contingency he is fortunate but if he has been living np to his income as so many men do nowadays he is handicapped at the very commencement of his career with an ansnspected debt and ib may take him the best years of his life to shako it off for even the smallest debt has the most marvelous power of accumulating besides he has lost faith in his wifes management lost some of bis admiration for her spoken some words perhaps that can never be recalled and un consciously distrusts her she knowing she deserves to bs blamed womanlike resents the distrust and is impatient of any inter ference or supervision the simplest question about household expenses sends hor into a passion more hard words follow and so tho little rif b within the lute
