sunday growlers wnen they first came into use the untuspecting police were amazed at the immense number of gentlemen who seemed to be anxious to catch a train the english papers have not been slow to note that by the deposition of the emperor pedro of brazil the american continent has got rid of the last of its sovereigns the new york post points out that pedros manner of disappearing shows how

at a football match played last week on the grounds of tho north western univer sity at evanaton 111 the captain of ono team had an eye so badly injured that ho will probably lose it while one of the opposing team had his jaw badly smashed there is reason to believe that in the days of macau- lays new zuvlander people will look back upon some of tho sports of the present age with much the same feeling that wo have with regard to the gladiatorial pastimes of the old romans wherever the worlds fair of 1s92 may bo held either in chicago or in new york it appears to bo fcakon for granted that ono of the features of the show must bo a colossal structure of some sort which will cast the eiffel towor in the shade in the meantime however st paul proposes to do something in this lino at her next winter carnival the present sobome being the construction of an ice tower 150 feet in diameter at the base and 250 feet high what is montreal going to do about this is there to be a carnival at all there this winter oar countrymen should not be singled out alone for criticism of their apparent lack of sympathy and reverence for the antique the historic and sentimental daring the present year the english allowed the house in which byron was iborn to be pulled down and the french permitted the cottage at barbizon to be rezd to the ground where millet lived for the greater part of his life the lease to mme millet having rnn out the owner of the ground would not renew it owing to the rise of values con sequent on the fame brought upon the vil lage by millet rousseau corot and their friend and admirers there will be no ioe palace at st paul this season instead of it there will be an ice tower 150 feet in diameter and 250 feet high forty feet from the ground outside the tower is a gallery the starting point of the toboggan slide which proceeds spir ally about the tower to the base where the taboggan having a tremendous impetus may ehoot over the surface of the ice on the river 3 000 or 4000 feet the portion of the toboggan slide round the tower is protected on the outside by a high las balustrade which will keep the toboggan from jumping the track a spiral toboggan slide
