id* Gregory's Return From the orient—
Breselons of What country.
Winnipeg Free Frees : A hurried inter-
view wee had with Mies Gregory as she
went east on Friday on ber return from
japan. It will be remembered that this
clever young writer visited that country
last fell for the purpose of studying the
new constitution on the spot and being
preeent et the opening of the new E'arlie.
ment. She was well received, not only by
the ofnoiale of the English Legation, but
by many dietinguishecl natives to whom
she was introduced ae a young Canadian
lady in search of information. The otter's.
*ion and hospitality with which ehe was
favored was due largely of 0011r06 to the
credentials which she bore from the Pifer -
guile of Lorne end Lord Salisbury. '

anent, Lennie it would be impoesible to wit-
nees the opening proceedings without wit-
nessing them Miss Gregory Wail naturally
annierte that an exoeption should be
'cued° in her favor. She therefore made ap-
plication to be permitted the privileges of a
spectator, an application that was backed up
by a number of influential persons, both
English and native. The requtest was made
the subject of a long and somewhat heated
debate, ending, however, in a graceful con-
cession on the part of the grave, reverend
and gallant seigniors. An embargo is
placed upon Miss Gregory's tongue pending
the publication of a full report of the pro.
eeeftings, and the impressione to whioh they
gave rise, in an early number of the Cos-
neopolton Magazine. She was able to say,
however, that she distinguished a consider-
able difference between the English and
-Japanese systems of Government. The new
constitution is modelledlargely on the Ger-
man, the delegates who were appointed some
years ago to aourry over the world in search
of a pattern, having preferred that one in
moat of the essentials of modern govern-
mental methods to any of the others. The
Emperor appoints the Ministers of his
Cabinet, each of whom is responsible to
him for the conduct of hie own department
only, and over none of whom can
ment exercise other than indirect and par.
tial control. A member clan demand
departmental information or explanation,
and the preeiding Minieter is obliged to
give public answer at a time and place to
be agreed upon. There are no politioal
parties in the House in the English sense,
the members being divided into half a
dozen or more clans, on issues or causes or
principles whioh it is difficult for any one
but a native to fully oomprehend. A mem-
ber addressing the House does so from a
rostrum, as in the French chamber. Mies
Gregory listened to several debates, and
judging from the °hammer of the noise
made, the gestures and other outward
signs, she concluded that some of the mem.
bees possessed very considerable ability.
Like most Englieh visitors, Miss Gregory
is of opinion that Japan is a country in
which one would soon tire of living. The
&Ornate is an exceedingly trying one, at any
rate to a person not inured to it. The
natives, from the highest to the lowest, are
nolitenese itself, and the shopkeepers cheat
you with an affability that is simply irre-
sistible. European dream is largely affected,
and the preotice is rapidly extending. A
curious oironmetanoe apropos of this Wati
related. The wife of a native when dressed
in European ooetume is permitted to take
precedence of her husband, but when
habited in her native dress she is obliged,
in all her domestic and sosial relations, to
assume the inferior position which Japanese
custom imposes upon her.
Mee Gregory's visit, although spoken of
as an enjoyable one, was somewhat marred
by illness. She passed through Winnipeg
on Friday on her way to her home in
Hamilton, where she will be married on
the 3rd proximo. It may not be unin.

Can you stand seven corks upright in

is the way to do it : All that is necessary
is a basin or tub of water and seven corks.
Stand one of the corks upright on the
table, arrange the other six Mose about
it, aloe in an upright position, grasp the
combination in one hand and pbange it
into the water in the tub, so as to nom.
pletely saturate the corke ; then raise them
pertly out of the water and let go your
hold. The w4ter which has penetrated
between the cork e by capillarity will hold
them close together, and though separately
each cork has an unstable equilibrium, the
combination obtained in this way will
keep them steady—the width of our impro-
vised raft being more than the height of
one cork.
This experiment, which demonstrates
the ooheeion produced by the capillary
phenomena, also proves to us the truth of

amalgamation of the South Wales with the
Great Western 'Railway Clompany Mr.
Seargeant was the reoipient of a Bailsman -
tial doueeur from the proprietors in recog-
nition of his eervices, and the Great West-
ern Board appointed him Superintendent
of the noath Wales division. Early
further promotion followed. Mr. Seergeant
was appointed chief Meer of the nouth
Devon and subsequently of the Cornwall
and West Cornwall Railways, which toga-
thor constituted a compact system between
Exeter and Penzance. Upon Mr. Seargeant
devolved the duties of General Manager,
Secretary and Secretary of the Joint Com-
mittees of the Great Western, Bristol &
Exeter, South Devon and Cornwall Com-
panies. Daring this period he was offered
the appointment ot agent or ohief officer
of one of the largest Indian railways. He,
however, declined the appointment at the
request of the Great Weetern Board and
was f arther promoted. Upon the resigna-
tion of his several officea in 1874 to come to
Canada Mr. Seargeant received evidences
of the highest consideration and friendship,
chief among which was an intrinsically
valuable presentation from a large number
of directors and officera of the companies
with which he was connected and of men
eerving under him. Mr. Seargeant arrived
in Montreal in 1874 and was appointed
Vice -President of the Grand Trunk, Mr.
Hiokson being the Preeident. He also
became Vice -President of the Chicago &
Grand Trunk Railway Company and of
other affiliated lines, while his position on
the parent road was that of traffic man-

suchan office on this continent. Mr.
Seargeant's services to the Grand Trunk
have been many and important. He con-
ducted with marked ability the various
arbitrations which secured to that railway a
fair share of the through American traffio

its total business. In his OffiOial inter-
course with representatives of other trunk

fying to know that the welfare of Canada
will also be promoted efficiently by that
oompany, for Mr. Sergeant is a strong ad-
vocate of the interests of looal industries

meeting all reasonable requirements. Mr.
Sergeant enters upon the discharge of
his arduous duties as general manager of
a system comprising more than 4,000 miles,
amid the moat kindly and cordial congratu-
lations and expressions of loyaly on the.
part of his associates in the service of the
company. He hopes to have the good
f panne to find results in this present year
which will yield to the proprietors a better
return for the immense capital invested in
the system and to arrive at this result
rather by improving than by impairing the
services rendered to the public. Mr.
Seargeant bas made a special study of the
problems of railway transportation. He
has written many exhaustive arguments on

iThe Servant Question.
It is a curious fent that there is nothing
which is so wholly unanimous as the desire
that other people's daughters should be
cooks and chamber.maide. We never
think of it as a thing desirable, or perhaps
supposable, for our awn; and this fact
seems to damage moat of oar arguments
for others. Artemns Ward was willing to
send hie wife's relations to the war, but
we are not inclined to contribute even
these to the kitchen, for we should hold,
rightfully, that it was " menial service."
Now if we draw the line at menial service
for ourselves and our relatives, why should
we speak severely of those who draw the
line at jest that point for themselves and
their own relatives? The whole difficulty
of this much -vexed question Booms to lie
precisely there.--Harper's Bazar.

Ten years ago Jame e Pr...tenant was the
prirezipal in the welnknown millinery firm
of Thos. May & Co., who owned large
establishments in Montreal and Toronto ;
he owned a princely raansion in the moat
aristocratic part of the city, and °sampled
a high zmoial popition. He was the father
of a clever femily, and was posseesed of a
wife of eduoation and refinement ; those
who were most intimate with him looked
upon him as one of Toronto's most pros-
perous oitizens, poeseseing wealth to the
extent of over §100,000, and his liberality
is well known and remembered in Metho-
dist circles. Be filled the position of

integrity and sobriety, and when money
was wanted he did not hesitate about
giving $5,000 to the building fund of the
Metropolitan Church.
Yeeterday he appeared at the Police
Court, an aolsnowledged bankrupt, to show
MU° why hie wife Should not be granted an
order of protection against him, and during
the Wel he was charged with abusing and
threatening his wife; with abusing, thrash,
ing end threatening his grown-up family;
with drunken/lase, and with refusing to
provide the family with the common neoes-
eariee of life. The scene during the trial
was a moat painful one, eapeolally to those
wile had hnown the defendant in his pros.
paroles days, and must have been more
than painful when the parted husband and
wife met in court, the one as it defendant
who acted as his own counsel, the other
OS
it nervous, trembling witness. The
husband orostnexamined his wife, and on
more than one ceseasion flatly contradicted
her sworn statemeets, although he after-
wards was unable to dispute any one part
of her evidence; he oress.examined hie
young daughter and almost forced her
to say that he had hit ber in the 1 ace,
had abused and threatened her, and
had also Mimed and beaten his boy;
that she had seen him ander the intlaence
of liquor, and that while in this condition
he was almost uncontrollable. Not satis-
fied, the defendant called Staff Inspector
Arohabold, who swore that on the occasion
a couple of years ago when defendant
charged Mr. George Kerr with having
assaulted him, defendant called at police
headquarters ander the infiaence of liquor
and the inspeotor gave him the option of
going home or going to jail.
For the defenoe, Mr. W. H. Orr, limn,
once agent, was called, but he only
strengthened the position of the complain-
ant. Mr. Paterson asked for an adjourn-
ment to secure Mr. Edward Gurney as a
witness, but as that gentleman is at present
in the United States, the application was
not entertained. Defendant claimed that
he had epent 1190,000 on his family, and
that he now had a right to enjoy some of
the earnings of the children.
The Magistrate granted the order of
protection, which entitles Mre. Paterson to
live apart from her husband, and to enjoy
the earnings of herself and ohildren.—Mail.
TEN THOUSAND WoHEN.
They Are to Meet in Washington on Wash-
ington's Birthday.
Ten thoasand women will meet in Wash-
ington on Sunday and Monday next.
These 10,000 delegates will represent more
than 700,000 women—members of oldie,
societies and unions in the fourty.four
States of Amerioa. Letters have been
passing to and fro between the active
spirits for many months, and there is like-
lihood that next week's Congress of
Women at Washington will be the greatest
assemblage of the kind on this continent,
or in any other part of the world.
It is not one cause that is to be repre.
sented, but many. Suffrage associations,
temperance unions, religions orders, educa-
tional clubs, will meet on it common level,
the members all moved by *he same
interests and working for the same end.
Everybody will have an opportunity to say
something, which is a pleasant feature of
the occasion in itself, and almost every
subject of interest to advanced women will
be touched upon. The Convention is a
direct outgrowth of the International
Connell held at Washington in 1888, when
the women of Bevan countries came to -
gather for disci:mien. The basis of the
prinoiple was then defined as "unity for
the general good of women and through
them ot all humanity." The work of
organization has since been carried on with
energy and enthusiaem whioh speaks
volumes for the future emcees of the
council. Miss Frances Willard, who oalle
herself "the little old maid," will preside
at all the meetings.

ANOTHER NEW
YORK HORROR.
TM) Trains Collide in a Fourth Avenue
Tunnel.
au •Engineer Instantly iffilled and a
Woman Burned to a Crisp--Cithers Seri-
ous1y Injured—roll Particulars.
A. New 'York despatch of last night Bayo:
A. terrible collision between *rains
000urred in the tunnel of the New
York Central and the New York &
New Eaven roads this morning. One of
the trains caught fire, and a deplorable
lose of life reeultecl. At 7.15 the
7.01 New Haven local passenger troin
north bound approached the station at
Eighty.eiath street. A ratan filled the
tunnel and the lights had partially failed
because of the Monne of snow and bail
which had heated all morning. A train of
sleeping oars MS ahead on the same traok
as the New Haven train. This Wail
ran into by the New Haven local, which
was going at a high rate of speed.
The crash was terrible and both trains,
engines and,- oars, were completely tele.
eooped land smashed to atones. The care
of the forward train caught fire from a
stove and the flamesrose hign above the
wreck', Three alarms of fire were sent
out, followed immedit tely by two calls for
ambulances. The latter were responded to by
phyeioians from Bellevue and Harlem Hoe.
pains. „When the police, doctors and fire.
men aelsohnd the scene they found ApprOa011
difficult by reason of the wreak of the cars,
combined with the smoke'flames and the
narrow limits of the tunnel. At 11
o'oloon it was stated that five persons
were killed in the accident and seven
injured. None of the passengers are known
to be among the killed or injured. The
victims are all believed to be employees of
the road. The passengers in the New
Haven train were badly shaken up, but
beyond some slight ante and bruises
none of them were badly hurt. The
paseezigere were teken from the train back
so the Grand Central depot in a New Haven
train that was just passing at the time in
the east tunnel. Engineer Fowler, of the
New Seven train, said that when at 72nd
street he got the white signal, which
was a z signal to go ahead. There
was no ringing of the bell as is
customary when the danger signal
IS up. He was running at the rate of about
twenty miles an hour on the north bound
treok. He was so oloee to the " shop
train "before he was aware of it that he
telesoopedait before he was hardly able to
put on the air brakes. The " shop
train," mudding of seven oars,
including several Bleepers that had
come into the Grand Central depot early
in the' rooming, and was on the way to the
repeir shop, as is the custom after it trip.
On the telescoped shop train there were
probably a dozen or more empties, both of
the road and of the Wagner Company.
Five bodies had been taken from the
wreck up to 1 o'clock. They were three
men, one woman (probably a Bomb woman)
and it boy. The latter was the newsboy of
the Boston and Albany Express. His name
has .ohot been learned. The firemen
claim that there are no more bodies
in the wreok and have abandoned the
wreck. On the other hand the police, who
were nn the scene early, insist that there
are still more bodies in the wreck. The
railway company has begun the work
of otekring away the intake. Coroner
Letezneen nese----at the wreck and gave
permission for the removed of the bodies to
the morgue. One of the dead bodies is that
of a colored man. Only one of those who
lost their lives (the newsboy) has
been identified. Tbe bodies ere so
badly burned that identification is
almost impossible. Frederick Bletoor,
collector for the Marvin Safe Company,
who was on the 701 train from the Grand
Central depot, says he saw a man with his
head partly out of the window of the
burning oar. The conductor and Meteor
tried to save him, but could not. He im.
plored them to kill him, for he was burn.
Ong alive.
The last oar of the New Haven train
took fire The engineer of the New Haven
train was instantly killed. At 8.45 the
body of it woman burned to a crisp was
brought to the surface. The engineer of
the other train had one of his lege burned
off, and another employee was badly
burned. Addi t
ismal despatches from New York
give the following regarding yesterday's
oollision : Wm. D. Brown, a brakeman,
who was on the wrecked train, was badly
injured. John Hanoke, the canoleaner, is
probably fat,Aiy 'dared. The doctors say
that it he should recover both hie legs
would have to be amputated. A fireman
named Rankin is also badly hurt. The
dead woman is supposed to be Mrs. Nellie
Supple, who has been in the company's
service for two years. Alter the fire had
been mastered firemen with axes tried to
clear away the debris, so as to be able to get
at the bodies. It was finally deoided to
pull the two oars apart, and a locomotive
with a tear and crash parted the swo oars.
In a heap of burned cushions, wood and
iron the bodies were found and taken out,
wrapped in blankets. They were then
placed side by side on the south -bound
track. Parts of some of the bodies were
completely burned away.
The eignaller at 72nd street says this
morning that be was aware that the shop
train was at a standstill, and he pulled the
danger signal. The signal, he said, worked
all right. If this ie true the engineeer of
the New Haven train should have seen it
and heard the gong sound three times, as
it does when a train is peeing the point
where the danger signal is up. The state-
mente of the eignalman and the engineer
and firemen will be the subject of investi-
gation, in order to determine on whom
the reeponsibility for the calamity rests.
Superintendent MoCloy states theta is in
USe throughout the entire length of the
tunnel interlooking switches with eleotrioal
appliances. By this syetem the danger
signal at 72nd street could not possibly be
°hanged, even if the man in charge of *he
tower sought to alter it, until the preced-
ing *rain had left the station. So it would
appear that the accident was attributable
to gross negligence of Engineer Foveler.
John Hattoke, one of the injured, died in
the hospital this afternoon.
Four more unrecognized bodies have
been removed from the wreck and sent to
the morgue. These are all the bodies
known to be in the wreck.

leotured in the U. P. Synod Hall, Edin-
burgh, on " Impressions of Canada." It
was a long and able lecture, and showed
that the Earl had been a very close and
diligent observer during his recent tour.
After referring to the loyalty of the people,
and their verione religious bodien and
institutione, he said the Canadians were
a, kindly, hospitable people, independent
and mations. Canada was not merely a
British colony, but a British nationality.
He shared with Canadiens the hopes of a
brilliant future for their country. Speak-
ing generally of the class and stamp of
persons beet adapted for starting life in
Canada, he said there was not at present
room and soope, at least in the more settled
parts, for those who intended to follow
what was called the professions, for in
most of the towns a dootor wonld not
perhaps find enough patients, a lawyer
enough clients, and a preacher perldaps
would not find enough bearers; nor was
there room for clerks. But for men who
were able and willing to turn their hand
to practical agriculture, with or without
experience, and women who were willing
to undertake domestic service, there was
lots of work and good remuneration.
Moral and religious backbone as well as
physical backbone were required for those
going out to the more remote parte of
Canada.
Born With Silver Spoons in Their Months.
It is pretty safe to say that no bridal
couple starting out in life in this town ever
had such a magnificent millionaire send-off
azi young Sohieffelin and his bride. Here
were two young people who had never done
anything in the world exoept get educated
and get married, receiving n200,000 to
$300,000 in bridal gifts and going away on
a wedding trip to return here to a house
provided by the bride's mother that repre-
sents an additional expenditure of $250,000.
Of course with this the young wife has re-
ceived, or will receive, it sufficient fortune
to maintain this establishment, as her
husband really has little money, and this
wlil mean another instalment of 16400,000
Or 5500,000.—New York World.
Rad Eyes But Good Teeth.
A young lawyer in this city recently ac-
quired a dog which he thought a pretty
good one. He sent it to the local dog ex-
hibition entered as a fox terrier. When the
juke patted the canine on the head pre-
paratory to taking cognizance of his good
points, the terrier made the Fillip of biting
the judge on the hand. The judge passed
on to the others, and later, on being asked
what he thought of the lawyer's foxy brute,
he replied: "Ho, le's no good; some-
thingn the matter with his heyes."
"There's nothing the matter with his teeth
though, is there?" asked the exhibitor, and
the judge said not a word.
"That's as true as I live," said the stook
broker to a monomer. "Fee, but how true
do yea live ?" the oustomer an spioionely
inquired.

CORE FOB VANDER,
The Doctors Said to be Camping Oh:weir
on the Trail.
A short time ago Professor Billroth, in
one of hie publio lectures, held out the
hope that a mire for cancer might he
found, says the London Telegraph.
Professor von Mosetig, another naedioal
celebrity, lecturing at the Vienna Phy.-
sienna' Anicenation, bee just stated poen.
tivel that medical eeienoe is already
on the high road to that all-important
discovery. The profelzeor himeelf bag
been working at it for the lent ten yeore.
Hitherto all bad oanoerona formations
that have not been operated upon have
proved incurable, and even those treated
surgically have in many cam returned.
Dr. Mosetig has for 25 years tried in vain
all remedies recommended for cancer. Hie
new experiments prove that the cellular
element in cancer has infinitely less vitality
than the healthy portions of the body.
This fact admits of the possibility of deal-
ing separately with the disezteed parts.
The learned gentlemen went into teal -
nixed, medical details, which the uninitiated
could eoaroely be expected to comprehend.
He has lately used with suooeps in cases ot
cancer, as a tinoture, a new dye °ailed
methyl -violet, or pyotanin made at Darm-
stadt. He tried it diluted witn water in
the following proportions: 1.1,000, 1.500
and 1,300, but believed it might be need
stronger. The patients he had treated
did not complain of its Miming pain.
In conclusion Profeseor Aloaetig said :
"It I speak somewhat prematurely
about treatment by tincture, and before
there has been any case of complete cure,
my excuse must be that a prompt moult
can only be obtained by the collaboration
and labor of many colleagues. It must not
be aupposed that I declare methyl -violet to
Id the only suitable preparation, though I
do happen to be satisfied with it. I believe,
on the contrary, that better and more
speedily efficacious tinctures can be found.
My only purpose at present is to pave the
way for further investigation. If dodoes
and chemists work together in view of
realizing the cure of cancer, perhaps that
great end may be attained."

How to Make a Lampshade of Pink Tissue -
Paper.
Take a sheet of tissue -paper. Out & hole
in the centre for the chimney. Hold the
paper in the centre and squeeze the rest of
it together by drawing it several time
through the closed right hand. This gives'
the paper a crepe de chine effect and makes
it olose and clinging so that it will fit any
form. The shape at either end will come
ant something like a swallow's tail. In
