But then a sharp spasm of pain
caught his breath. He paused for

'How can lever make you believe

a laugh.
'You have pro .sed to her;' he
said, 'an.d.she has accepted you.'
Paul did not answer.
'You have the right to take my

station was changed into a naval
gun factory. Here have been made
• a large part of the armament for .the
equipment of the vessels of the new
navy. The great 1 -inch guns are
being Made here, and the, immense
buildings and costly machinery,
which is required in the manufacture,
hive been supplie'd with a great out-
lay of honcy.
Each year this plant has been im-
proved and enlarged until to -day it;
is the most important in the country.
The ordnance supplied for the naval
vessels are equipped with intricate
mechanism which requires the skill
ot trained workmen to bring to per-
f'ection, as well as that supervision
which is secured by the detail of
naval, officers who are specially:
qualified for such duty.
The change in ]the character of
this naval station is a significant one,
as indicating the difference between,
the old navy and the new. When
this yard was established, in the
first year of the *seat century, it
was designed to hie a place where
naval vessels could be constructed.
During the years that have followed
a large number of vessels have been
built there, and fully equipped for
the service.
The old wooden vessels, which
were in use in the early days, were built
in. the government yards, but nowa-
'days the man -of -War or cruiser,

mon Law of England, requiring; tho
owner of cattle to restrain there, and
holding him liable for any damage
they might do if they escaped, was not
in force in thin province when the
cattle were . not running at large
contrary to municipal by-law, The
evidence showed that . if it was not
the plaintiff's' duty to maintain the
fence, it was, at all events, the joint
duty of both. The ease was first
tried by judge Jamieson, who non -
suited the plaintiff, bolding that it
was the joint duty, at all events, of
the parties to maintain the fence,
that the cattle pasturing on their
owner's land. were not running at
large within the meaning of the
statute, and that the law of England
in this respect is not in force here,
being modified by provincial and
municipal enactments. The plain-
tiff, not being satisfied with the
judgment, sued again and brought
the case before a jury. There was
no material change in the evidence,
and the jury brought in an unanim-
ous verdict for the defendant.

Cattle Quarantine.
The British government are evi-
dently determined to continue the line
of policy laid down by their prede-
cessors in regard to the importation
oflive cattle frorp Canada, viz., to
have all cattle slaughtered at the
port of entry, and everything points
to the probability of the embargo..
being made a perilianent one. Such
being the case, is it worth while for
Canada to continue the present
quarantine on cattle Coming from the
States? This quarantine was impos-
ed, in the first instance, . in order to
retain the advantages of the admis-
sion of our cattle alive into Great
Britain, by showing that, on this side
ofthe water, we
were
doing our best
to keep"our cattle face from disease,
inasmuch as Great lritain had deeid-
ed that there was ••leuro-pnourrlon a
among American cttle. Then the
American government reciprocated
and quarantined Canadian. cattle,
and the result was a big falling off,
or rather: almost a total cessation, of
dealings in pure bred cattle between
the tWo latter countaies named.
Now that Canadian cattle are "in
the same box" as American when
landed at British'ports, itis certainly
worth while investigating' this guar-
antine question, acid seeing if any
practical purpose,is being served by
its retention, espeelally as regards
purebred stock,—dl,n om Fanning for
