To he Hure we have the Mister's words, "They that are whole have no need of a physi:ian, but they that arc sick " liut why neeil a physii-ian We speml our iii4»ney right royally ffir trained nurses fiu" our sick. "We take no note ot time hut from its loss "' ami we count that lost spent away from the bed- side of our dear ones. Day ami night are one. The life and str-ngtli of the mother is freel\ given, even until she goes with hfir child into the "dark valley." The father iniiortuiies the docti»r to spare no ex- p4-nse of time and laUir foi* his child. The traineil nurse is (|Ueeii of the sick nnmi her lightest wish gratilieil herinstnictions car- ried out to the letter. All this is well, no more than is our duty and pleasure hut the child recovers and in » few short weeks is retnrnetl to the care of u young girl who has had neither experience nor training for the care of any chihl, much less a ilelicate one. The parents who spared neither time nor expense when the chihl was sick, now think two dollars, or twt dollars and a half a week good wages for the care of the child when well. I'sually much less' is paid the nurse-girl than the girl for general iuustiwirk. Why a tliHereuce, and if a difference which has the iKitter right to the premium, the girl who cooks our foo*l, wasnes our dishes ami sweeps our fliiors, or the inirse-girl who cares for our children Ihiring the long w int(*r evenings the cook and housemaid are often free to entertain or visit their friends, while the nurse-girl piitiently, or impatiently as the case may he, '-•sres for the r.-stless little ones in the nur- sery. 1 do not iulvoeate less pay to the cook or housemaid, but Iwtter wages and more sym- pathy for the efficient nurse-girl. The woman who commits her little ones to the care of an inetiicient girl has no right to the name of mother, and it should le an impossibility for such girls to find places. A goo«l nur*--girl. like a good minister of the gospel, is worthy of her hire, and no minister who l»elieves that "Ofsuchisthe kingdom of^. heaven," will object to the comparison. The children's nurse is the mother's best friend, and should receive her respect and consideration, and on her part .-he must Ih? worthy of her position. It is said it is diffi- cult to find goiM mirse-girls. This! grant: although 1 have heard ladies of experience »i^ that gotwl wages has brought to them etfieient, faithful girls; hut to make this class of girls sutficient to supply the nee»l, -I say need, instta 1 of demand â€" a change of senti- ment is necessary among the motliers. How often we hear it said, " I pay my cook three and a half or four dollar^, a week. I canonlyntl'orda tlollarand a half or two dollars for my nurse girl. " "Consistency, thou art a jewel." It is a question, w hich is of the more consequence, our dinners or our children is it any w.mder that poor, untrained young girb. often neeilme a mother's c»re themselves, fail to care properly for the chil- dren under their charge? We found hospit- als to train nurses for our sick. I question if we would not do better to found homes and schools to train girls to care for our chib Gren, that there may be less need of hospit- als and nurses for the sick. It needs no argument to prove that the early training of the child, determines to a large extent the child's future.

Was The^WroBK Maa Haujied T On Tuesday week Mr. Churton, County (-'oroner, Chester, received a letter from a I orie3|)ondent at New Orleans, stating that a man had confessed to the rectorof St Paul's there that he n.urlered John Bebbingtoii, gamekeeper to Mr. Kdwin Corhett, of Xil- stone Lodge, Tarporley, for which John lllagg was executed at Chester in IS57. Mr. Churton remembered the t rial and the execu- tion of Blagg. The evidence was purely circumstantial, the chief point lieing foot- print corresjHinding to Blagg's l)00ts. The iiian who has made a confession states that he borrowed Hlagg'a boots on the night of the murder. A pres.t representi\tive on Satunlay visited Alpraham, the locality in which the mysterious murder of the game- keeper Bebbington took place' thirty-three years ago. Mrs. Blagg, the widow of John yiagg, the man who was executed, still lives in the village, in a cottage almost with- ing stone's throw «»f the scene of the tragedy. She is advanced in years, and is in poor circumstances, but is able to earn a few shillings as a teacher or caretaker of her neighlx)rs' little childn n. In reply to ques- tion she saitl:- " On tlie night before the munlcr there came a rap at our door when John and I were together. 1 opened the door, and there was John Jones. 1 never did like that man. I asked what he wanted, and he called my iiusland outsiile. I wondered what was on, and when John canicin again I asked him, and he said '(ih, nothing.' Well he got his lxols from where they were usually kept, and gave them to .lones. Jones came in.side, and took off his clogs, and left them in -uir house. He very seld(»m wore clogs, Imt nc had clogs on when he came to our house that night. I can't say whctlier it was a plot between them, and I did not susjiect at the time that anything wrong would l»edone." The reporter sug- gested that the real point in the ease w;is iis to whether lu^r bushand was at liome tluoughout tiiat night. Mrs. Blagg replied tha*. he was, butin answer toanotherquestion said he got up, she thought, alxmt four o'clock in the- morning. She supposed he went out, but when she got up, lietween six an seven o'cloirk, be was sitting in the kitchen, having lighted a fire and prepiired lroakfast. There was nothing nnusual in his milliner or appearance. The boots had then leen returned. She could not say how or when lie had receivetl them Iack, She hearil of the murder a couple of hours after- wards, liefore the police came for her bus- Imnd she saw them pass with Jones, who ItKikcd jtaXe and agitated. But they did not keep him, she added. They only wanteil her liiisliaml, as they "had it in" for hiin. Asked why her huslKind was at all suspect- ed, the old- lady said that various stories were going about the village, one of which was that Jier husltiuid had 1een heard to swear he would shoot the keeper.' It was mt true, she was perfectly sure. He was such an inoffensive man that he would not do an injury to anyone. Mrs. Blagg was able to tell from memory all the details of the arrest of her hus1and, who offered no resistance, aud simply said he was innocent, though his own lKots and gun were used. It seemed to pain the old lady to recall the farewell scene on the day l»efore the execu- tion, when she, with tlieir little daughter, since dead, had a last interview with the condemned man at Chester Castle. His words to her at parting were, 'I am as in- nocent as that child. I have not had justice. They have gone against me just as they liked anil they might as well have hanged me on the nearest oak. But never mind. I in- tend to go TOTHK WAFFOLD, for I shall never tell." She asked him if there was anything she might do for him, and he replied, "No, you have a bit of money. It will Ih; of no use to me now. It will l)e of use to you. Don't part with it for my sake." "He never said how it was done, ' remarked Mrs. Blagg, "but at one interview he did say to me .that if he disclos- eil all that he knew he would be transported f4r life, aud he would prefer instant death.' The old lady pathetically concluded â€" "And now, after Xi long years, when it was let alone as a thing to be forgotten and buried in time, it has risen up again in this new form. I would rather it were let alone." Mrs. Blagg tumetl away in tears. The Inndlord of a village inn informed the same reporter tliat up to two year ago Jones, who Was a wheelwright, was employed in the Potteries, and on one occasion since he had visited Alpraham, and called at that house for some refreshment. There is certainly a difference of opinion in the locality where the tragedy took place, and where part- ies were so well known, as to the alleged innocence of Blatcg. Old inhabitants agree that he W£is a notorious ^poacher, and in dis- position was very sullen and resen-ed. nr DISTRESS. A British Skip Tmu lat* Sam Fraacl«e*â€" Terrible Experleaee im a Storai.

The British South African Company was formed for the pnrpose of entering and setr tlinff that part of Sooth Africa between lo andiy south latitude and 2ff' and 33° east longitude. MashonaLmd is the nameof ttus country. The company has a royal charter and a capital of |aO.OOO.OOa The organa- ation of this company i* dne to the energy and enterprise of a prominent Englishman, Cecil Rhodes by name. Mr. Rhodes was among the foremost to secure control of the diamond mines at Kimberley some fifteen years ago. ,. For a number of years past aU traveUers who have visited Mashonahuid have reported that the country was not only extremely rich in gold, but also an ex- cellent agricultural land. The climate and numerous rivers which are found scattered all over Mashonaland were said to be aU that could be desired. Such reports, so manv and so unanimous in praise ot a country hitherto unknown to white men, were cer- tain to attract the attention of so enter- prisiiig a man as Mr. Rhodes. About two years ago that gentleman took steps which will undoubtedly soon result in the settle- ment of Mashonalandand the development of its mineral and agricultural resource. Mashonaland is ruled by the King of Matabeleland. the country immediately west. This King is LobenguU, one of the most despotic and cruel rulers of Africa. He has never permitted any white men TO TOrCH TIIE (iOLD of Mashonaland or of his own country, which is also known to contain much of the precious metaL Many whites have again and again endeavored to get a concession from Loljengula. As far as I can learn only two were ever successful. One of them was the traveller Barnes, who died shortly after receiving his concession. The other man was Mr. Rhodes, who induced Loben- gula to grant him the right to develop the mineral resources of Mashonaland. For a certain consideration the King willingly attached hi=! mark to the proper papers. Lobengula has always used Mashonaland and the Mashouas, a peaceful and indus- trious people, to increase his herds of oxen and his vast numler of slaves. Whenever he chooses he has only to say the word and one or more of his chiefs or "indunas" will head an "impir" or company of raiders and make for Mashonaland to plunderoxen from the Mashonas, kill all people not tit for slaves, and carry others back to Matabele- land to live horrible lives as Lobengula's slaves. From all this the reader will see that the granting of the Rhodes concession and the success of the South African Com- pany can only result in a great benefit to the unfortunate Mashonas. The Matabele tribe is a branch ot the Zu- lus which wen*, north some seventy or eighty years ago. They have all the warlike spirit and braverj' of the Zulus, and have Jradu- ally extended their territory by plundering neighboring trite8. " Some twenty j-ears ago .Mosilikatze, tlie King of the Matabelesdied, and Lolc,ngula, the present ruler, was chosen by the chiefs as King. Lobengula is a'xut 50 years old, and his reign has been a MOST BLOODT AND CRITEL. one. Lobengula has no resrard whateverfor life. The King kills any one he wishes at any tiine.he chooses. He has simply to say to some of his men, "Kill so and so," and the order is at once executed. I was talking with a man who with several others visitel Lobengula's capital a few years since. These men had a numlier of Lobengula's men and boys working for them. One day they ndssed one of the best boys, and asked the others where the missing servant was. " Tne King killed him this morning," they â- replied. Later, when the matter was mentioned to the King, he saul that the boy was too smart and was learning the ways of the white man too rapidly. This is but one of the many in- stances which could be given of what occurs almost daily ih Matabeleland. Another in stance which illustrates tlic cruelty of the King was reportetlto me by amissionaryw^lio livcil some years in ilataleleland. The Matal»ele3 have a great hatred for the Mas bonas, but .some months ago tliere was a Mashona Iwy, one of Lobengula's slaves at the King's capital, who was especially disliked by some of the Matabeles. So, in order to get riil of him, they took the usual inethoil of preferring some charge against him. They went to the King an(l told him that the Mashona Iwy had drunk some of bis beer. Any one who touches the King's eer without his erniission is killed. Lob cngula, when told about the Mashona Ijoy, said "liring me the lioy." 'I'lic loy was brouglit before liim and was asked by the King, "Did you drink my leer." The hoy, Iwiing too frightened to deny the charge, which waT wholly false, replied "Yes, King, I lraiik some of your beer." At this the King took up a knife and with his own hands cut off the iHiy's lips, and then onlered his men to cut off his ears. The poo; iKiy was killed in the night. The usual way of killing a person is to knock him on the bead witii a "bougusa" or club. But Lolicnguia is not more cruel and des- potic than bis people wish him to be. In fact it is said that he is continually restraining this people from t:'king the lives of many whites who have of late years visited their country. Lobengula's predecessor is said to have adviseil himalwaya to be friendly to the white man. This advice I.iobcngula seems to have hceiled, for he has never been known to take the life of a white man. The Matabeles are very jealous of the l-KF-SENTE OF WHITE MEN in their country. They only wish to have a few tradei-s so that they can obtain things which they use, and missionariesso that they can have medicine. Lobengula allows trad- ers and missionaries to settle in his country, but no one is permitted to accept Christian- ity. Death is the penalty for so doing Mi.ssionaries have teen at work for perhaps fifty years in MatalM?leland, bnt they have done absolutely nothing because of the at- titude of the rulers. I wiis told by a man who has just spent ten months at Loljengula's court as interpreter for the British South African Company, that upon several occasions when he sat by the side of the King a iiuml)er of warriors lan- ced around him, brandishing their asse^is and begging the King to allow them to kill him. The King always refused, saying "No., he is a friend," and would sometimes add: "I see you wish to kill white men. I will let you kill white men, but you must go and kill them where I tell you. Co to Kim- berley and kill as many as yoti like." The King said this simply to appease the warriors for the time leing, knowing well that Kimberley or the oiherplaces mention- ed were a thousand or more miles away, and -that it would be impossible for them to do as he was "perfectly willing" they should do. In concluding this subject, a quotation from a letter written by an English Major, who was one of the bearers of a letter sent by Queen Victoria to Lobengula some months ago, may be of interest. He says "The King, whose only clothing consisteflof a rug thrown over his lap, weighs over 280 pounds. Never have I seen such a brutal, sensual, and cruel expression as he has. However, he received us very well, and after our royal letter had been read and translated, some ex- cellent beef was produced, and we were soon busy tearing it up with our teeth and fiugers. The King returns to his capital to-morrow, owing to gout. 'He is now being attended by witch doctors. Last September and October he killed 400 people, but has never touched a European." I mentioned the assegai as the weapon of the Matabeles. The assegai is a spear or javelin of different form, size, and weight, ac- cording to the tribe to which it belongs, for all South African natives used, or did use until recentlv, the assegai as a weapon of defence. It is made of iron, sometimes with a straight and sometimes with a bar- bed poiut, so that it cannot be drawn out of the nesh. Some tribespoison the tips of their ssegatB with an unknown poison so deadly as to cause the death of man or beast which it penetrates. It is said that doctors find it IMPOSSIBLE TO SAVE THE LIFE of any one who has been wounded with the poisoned assegais of the Biuhmen. The natives attain wonderful skill in throwing their assegais. It is said that the average native can throw his assegai with almost perfect accuracy a distance of over fifty yards, and with a force sufficient to cause the weapon to go through the body of a man. It was the ass^ai that proved so deadly to the English troops, during the Zulu war. The assegais are much more to be fewred than rifles in the hands of natives.

The schedule time for this distance is forty hours. For as many as sev- enty miles from Cape Town there are num- erous small towns afl|^vil]ages. One of the largest and best-lramrn of the towns is Wel- lington, in which place is one of the best fe- male schools in South Africa. Our train reached Wellington some- time before miflnight. Early morning saw us crossing a country almost treeless. One pe- culiarity worthy of notice is that of the mountains aud hilla. There are many of these to be seen from the railroad, and every one presents the same characteristics, that of having flat and level tops, which look exactly as though they had been cut off by some artificial means. The TOPS OP MOrSTAISS of the same height appear to be cut off at about the same distance from the base. The geology of this part of Africa, as well as that of other parts which I have visited, seems to be very interesting. The same may be said of the zoology, botany, and anthropology. It is ignorance of these branches of science, as well as of the history ktof Africa, thamaesitthe Dark Continent. Kimberley wis reached at 3 o'clock on April 17. It.was my intention to make Kim- berley the subject of a letter, but circum- stances rendered it impossible for me to gather sufticient reliable material. I will, however, speak briefly of the place. On one summer's day of 18f7 a white man going along the road noticed a native boy playing with a brilliant stone, which he took from him. This stone was afterward found to be a diamond. To-day the place is coverel with a city of 10,000 or 1*2,000 inhabitants, all the result of the brilliant stone which the native boy found. A large number of diamonds were found, and there are to-day some half dozen mines, all doing a large business. The mines arc very rich and turn out more diamonds tlian any others in the world, andin fact, so many diamonds have been found that the market is overstocked, and the supply is now leiug limited to meet the demand. Thetotal value of the diamonds taken from THE KIMBEKLEV MINES has been estimated at ^,000,000 per year for fifteen years, and the total value is fully $135,000,000. The weight of the diamonds representing this value is alMut nine tons. The largest diamond ever found weighed 400 karats, but was not a first-class stone. Two stones, weighing ITiOkaratseacli, werefound, and one of these was valued at $.100,000. The men employed in the diamond mines number between 5,0(K) and 0,000. Our party left Kimberley for a '250-mile tripin a bullock wagon. All travelling in the inter- ior of South Africa is done in large wagons drawn by oxen. Canadians probably have little idea of the method of travelling here. The wagons ire very heavy and aliout twenty feet long; three or four tons would be considered an average load where, the roads are not too rough. -Kighteen oxen constitute an ordinary span for such a load, ILut often more are recjuired. The journey to Mafeking occupied nine- teen days, but without delays it should be tlone in fifteen. An average of eighteen or twenty miles per day is considered good travelling or "treking" to use the Dutch term. Two and a half milcsan hour isas fast as can le done with a heavy load, aud a trek should not last longer than four hours at a time. The proper time for trcking in in the night, Injcause the oxen do much better work with less injury to themselves' than when working in the sun. Up to this date we have travelled 250 miles. After a few days' rest we shall be- gin another trek to a camp -UiO miles north of here. After another short stop, for rc- cniits, arms, and provisions,, we will l^egin the final journey to Mashonaland. Ourdes- tination is less than lOO miles souTli of the Zambesi River â€" altout 1,000 miles from this place. This makes a distance of 1,*2)K) miles tolietravellcd in an' ox wagon. Noth ing can le said with accuracy concerning the time which will bcrequireilfnr this jour- ney. The fact that there is no romX for 000 miles and the proliability of our being com^ pelled to contend with hostile natives have to lje considered. Cl.\ire A.Okr. Latest From Europe Buida «f Q«niiaiL 'Aoopiâ€" TIm Asitlin and fliB i M ii rmpmnri T hn MnTHi l flT Iffll m raHninirMmi i A grand parade 'bf the troops sDgaged in the army mancenvrea was held the other morning near Eichh(^ in the ppvaenea of Emperors WiUiun and Frsocis Joee^ the King of Saxcmy, Chancellor von Oapririand Coont E^alnoky. At the etmcliisicMi of the parade E!mperor William gathered tiie offi- cers in a group and addressed them, c(»n- mending their efforts in the field. His Majesty thanked the Emperor Francis Joseph and the King of Saxcmy for attend- ing the manoBUvres, and said he hoped what they had seen had convinced them that the army remained as efficient under his leader- ship as it was under Emperor William I., thus furnishing a guarantee of the continual solidity and strength of the brotherhood of arms. He then called for cheers for the Austrian Emperor, which were enthosiasti- cally given by the officers. The meeting of the Austrian and German Emperors and King of Saxony in Silesia has caused much editorial rumaging of histories -and much moralizing over buried animosi- ties. Kaiser Wilhelm could afford to be gracious and for giving had there been need for such display, as the meeting place was within a mile or two of the battlefield of Hohenfriedberg, sad he slept in the castle in which Frederick the Great supped after in- flicting that terrific defeat upon the Aus- trians. But the meetings and banquets were not marred by ill-timed reminiscences. The two emperors fell into each other's arms and kissed with fervor and cordiality, which to outward appearance might have been begotten of centuries of national and ancestral friendsliip. They led opposite corps in the sham fight and played at soldiering as though Saidowa had never been fought, while the King of Saxony looked so happy that no our could have dreamed that he took the wrong side in 1866, and suffered in consequence. Each evening the monarchs dined together, eatimf off gold and silver plate, and drinking much wine out of fine old Bohemian glasses. It|was verj* noticeable tliat all were much more at ease than upon' former similar occasions when prince Bis- marck used to be present. Gen. V on Caprivi hatl no share in the subtle diplomacy which nearly twenty-five years ago led Austria to humiliating defeat and almost to ruin, and nearly cost the King of Saxony his throne. The Emperor and King were there- fore peculiarly affable toward him, and talk- ed with him freely and frequently. The Osman who lost his life when the Turk- ish frigate foundered in Japanese waters has been taken to be Olsnan Pasha, hem of Plevna, who defeated the Russians in three pitched battles, and was taken prisoner when Plevna fell. This is erroneous. The Osman who perished was a Vice-Admiral of the Turkish fleet, son-in-law of Hassan Pasha, Minister of Marine. He was First Captain of the ill-fated Ertogroul. Among the others who perished by the disaster were a number of students from the Turkish School of Marine. The London Standard says: ' The con- sumers of tin plate in Birmingham and Staffordshire arc alanned not only at the rapid advance which has ta^en place in tin plates during the past month, but also at the dilKcuUy in obtaining supplies. The principal Welsh bouses are so busy complet- ing orders for the American market, in anticipation of the McKinley Tariff bill com- ing into force, that they are refusing con- tracts forj delivery lefore Christmas, aud Birmingham firms find themselves unable to secure even an assortment of goods ex- cept through some of the Staffordshire houses who are not yet fully employed. The prices of common steel coke plates have advanced in a few weeks about 3 per cent. The local merchants who manufacture nitrates both for home and export are careful, however, not to augment their stocksas they anticipate a sudden collapse in the demand and prices when the new ttiriff, which will rise duty to II per cent, per box, conies into force. In the face of the enhanced duty it is consid- ered that the American trade will lc seri- ously crippled. THE CAPTAIN'S EEVENGE. FloKxeil for Breaainic Snliluilb Rules He M'lilp.« the naxlHlniloi, The following anecdote gives an interest- ing insight into the prejudices common among certain peopin in America in coniiec tion with the Sumlay question many years ago. The story is told as follows in the VnifiH^iol Jitai/aziiie for 1775 "Some years ago a commonder of one of his Majesty's ships of war stationed at Boston hatl orders to cruise from time to time, in order to pro- tect our trade and distress the enemy. It happened unluckily that he returned from one of his cruises on a Sunday, and as he had left his lady at liostou, the moment she heard of the ship's arrival she hastened dow'n to the water's side in order to receive him. The captain on landing embraced her with tenderness and affection. Tliis, as there were inany sjwctators by, gave great offence and was considered as an act of indecency and a flagrant profanation of the Sabbath. " The next day, therefore, he was sum- moned Ijeforethemagistrate, who, with many severe rebukes and pious exhortations, or- dered him to be publicly whipped. The captain stifled his indi£;nation and resen- mentas much as possible, and as the punish- ment from the frequency of it, was not attended with any great degree of ignominy or disgrace, he mixeil with the best company was well received by them, and they were apparently good friends. At length his time at the station expired and he was re- called. He went, therefore, with seeming concern to take leave of bis worthy friends, and that they might spend one happy day together before their final separating, he in- vited the principal magistrate aud selectmen to dine with him on board his ship upon the day of his departure. They accepted the invitation, and nothing could be more joy- ous and convivial than the entertainment which he gave them. "At length the fatal moment arrived that was to separate them; the anchor was apeak, the sails were unfurled and nothing more was wanting bnt the signal to get under way. The captain after taking an affectionate- leave of his worthy friends, accompanied them upon deck, where the boatswain ami crew were in r^diness to receive them. He there thanked them afresh for the civilities they had shown him of which he said he should retain an eternal remembrance, and to which he wished it had been In his power to have made a more adequate return. One point of civility only remained to be adjust- ed between them, which as it was in his power, so he meant most justly to recompense them. He then reminded them of what had passed, and ordering the, crew to pinion them, had them brought one by one to the gangway, where the boatswain, with a cat- o-nine-tails, laid on the back of each forty stripes save one. They were then, amid~the shouts and acclamations of the crew, shoved into their boats^ and the captain, immedia tely getting under way, sailed for England. " â€" [Casseirs Magazine. Earthquake Parties. The credulity of the human mind was prettily illustrated by the world of fashion in 1750. A smart shock ot eartliqnake had startled all England in February, and was succeeded by a more violent one in the following March. The consternation was general, and Bishops and clerfgrmen made the event the subject of numerous sermons homilies, and exhortations, while it is on record that a country quack reaped a golden harvest by selling earthquake pills. Then arose a crazy-minded li^e guardsman, solemnly predicting that a third and special- ly fatal shock would occnr on April 5. The polite world, as it is called, took fright, and on the evening preceding the fatal day the roads out of London, wfaicdi the eartaqoiUce was to tumble into mins, were thronged with vriiicles, thoogh the newspapers threatened to pnUish "an exact list of idl the nolnli^ and gentry who have left orahail leave this piace thnm^ fiiar of another eartiiqiiaka.

THE PEEMATTJKE BURIAL HTJMBTO. nrdlrnl Men do not Know oTa Klnjcle An- Ibenllralefl Ca^tr. The subject of premature burial lias been lof ate revived in this country by the appear- ance of sensational paragi*aphs in the daily press. Not long ago the public were horrifi- ed by a story from Leeds of a gra\'edigger having heard sounds proceeding from a coffin recently buried. It required a Coroner's in- |uest, and the evidence of Mr. Scattergool, the lecturer on forensic medicine, to reas- snrethc public that therumorwas false, the deceased woman having died a perfectly natural death, while, although its cause was typhoid fever, the burial bad leen by no means hastened, and it was clear that death hail occurred at the time stated by those around her. ' ' More recently there was a sensational story from Southampton of a clergyman who stopped the interment of a friend, whose funeral he had come some distance to attend, on the grounds that he saw some sign of life, which proved to l»e simply his own imagina- tion. So far as this country is concerned, there has not been a single authenticated case recorded of premature burial, though there have undoubtedly been cases where persons have revived after apparent death, and many alleged cases of premature burial in addition to those previously alluded to. But all these have the appearance of sensational stories, manufactured for the "penny dread- fuls" and those newspapers which thrive on sensation. Even on the Continent, in America, and in other countries where in cousetiuence of the intense heat burial must take place within twenty-four hours after death, the authenticity of the stories of alleged pre- mature burial has never been proved and it may be safely asserted that one genuine case would have led to an alteration in the law and the postponement of burial until after a longer period. In England, on the contrary, there is less rcison to couiplaiii of too speedy burial as of too prolonged an inten^al between death and burial. Mr. Seymour Haden's sugges- tion of burial within thirty-six hours was not favorably received, and is, indeed, for this country too short an interval. A uni- versally exact interval cannot be laid down; it must vary according to the time of the year, the weather, and other circumstances. In these days of cheap disinfectants a body can be kept without prejudice to the living for four or five days after death, which in- terval is long enough to satisfy the wishes of the most timid. There is a circumstance well known to the profession which, if it were better known to the public, would go far to reassure those whose minds may have been disturbed by these sensational para- graphs. Every day bodies apparently life- less are received at metropoUtan and pro- vincial hospitals, having been found in every variety of posture, clothed, half clothed, or naked, and under varying circumstances. At the hospital the resident surgeon must give a prompt and decisive answer to the question. "Is he (or she) alive or dead?" To send a corpse to the ward or to keep it unduly long in the reception room would be a very stupid blunder to send a living per- son to the dead house would be a crime. These cases amount in the aggregate to thousands annually, and yet we have never heard of a mistake being made. It is pro- bably this circumstance which makes mem- bers of the profession skeptical of these stories of so-called premature buri^, and causes them to reject with an incredulous smile the suggestion that so horrible a late might occur to any of ns. â€" [The Laucet.

Address i The Have FaMlnator Haatreal* Simpson, Hall, HiUer Go. One of the most dazzling displays in the Main building of the Industrial Exhibition this year is that of Simpson, Hall, Miller Co., the well, known manufacturers of fii e electroplated ware, whose extensive factory and warehouse are at 18 De Bresolles street, Montreal. The exhibit is located almost at the centre of the ground floor of the big building and it is constantly surrounded by an admiring crowd. Mr. Charles (ireen isin charge of it and his time is fully occupied in discharging the pleasant duty of showing to the people the many beautiful things in the two large cases containing the exhibit and at the same time explaining the processes that have produced such wonderful results. The methods adopted by this firm, which, by the way, carries on the second largest business of its kind in the world, are tho most mmlem and widely approved, and, as might le expected, the goodsturned out are of the first quality as regards originality of design, workmanship and finish. Their busi- ness has grown to enormous proportions simply because they are quick to recognize the wants of the public and able to satisfy them. This fact is amply demonstrated by the variety of their exhibit, which is the embodiment of originality and good taste. The fancy gilt in applied work is particular- ly attractive. There is a silver set in re- pousse that cannot fail to delight those who are fortunate enough to see it, and another embossed and chased and finished iu gilt that is a perfect gem. There could be nothing prettier than the Venetian nut bowls finish- ed in old silver and fancy gilt, which arc shown in great variety. In addition to these which are just a few of the features of the exhibit, are many small novelties that are being introduced for the first time this season. ICot satisfied with simply keeping pace with the rapid development of artistic taste, the firm are constantly introtlucing new ideas, which, coming from such a well- known pource, meet M'ith the approval that. they so justly merit. Everyba«ly should make it a point to see this really lineexhihit,. as a failure to do so will be a failure to see one of the most notable features of tlu; Exhibition. The Toronto Empirr.

Tlic display ia the hnest that has ever been seen on the KxhiU- tion grounds. They claim that their com- posite wrought iron railing is tlic Vest fence made, givinggreaterstrength and durability, and more ornamental in design. One pair of driving gates is specially worthy of men- tion, the design and finish, or workmanship, lieing of the highest order, in fiict there is nothing liettar made, except the gates sup- plied ly this firm for the Parliament build- ings, Ottawa, which are acknowledged to lu' the finest on the continent. This tirm is, without doubt, the leading house in the Dominion for railings, and our city fathers acted wisely when they selected H. R. Ives Co. to erect the lieautiful and substantial fence around the Horticultural gardens. This fence alone would place them in the front ranks. Architectural iron work is an- other specialty of this firm. They are in a positiou to tender for all kinds of wrought iron work, iron stairs, counter railings and grille work of every description. They do work all over the Dominion, and have now under one of the largest contracts of the kind ever letiu the city, namely the Court house. â€" The Toronto Empire. Worm Symptons.
