We are inclined to believe that the Grand Trunk and other lines are in col- league with the directors and general managers of the World's Fair with re. gard'to this high rate and that they will in due time reduce it much lower when the rush is oyer and thingsbe- gin to put on a slackening appearance in the windy cit The Canadian Educational Endow- ment Assoeiation,a Toronto institution, has gone into liquidation, not being able to register under the Ontario In- surance Act.

There is an impression on the minds of many that a licensed tavern -keeper may receive or refuse to receive as ;a guest any person whom he may choose This is very wrong, So long as a man conducts himself in a proper manner and pays, or tenders payment for the accommodation furnished, the tavern - keeper is obliged to receive him if he has the accommodation. As for meals the License Act is rigid. Every licen- sed tavern shall be a well appointed and sufficient eating -house, and guests arriving at that house at any time, night or day, have the right to de- mand refreshment, the refusal to sup ply whichwill subject the tavern -keep er in conviction of a fine or not more than 520 ro,' each end ( ery offence, A Backyard, Perecr ption.

Baker, who was a pupil at- tending school on the Parr Line, Stan ley, accused Richard'Smilie, his teach er, of the above offence.

At the trial here the defend- ant pleaded that he had already been tried and acquitted] by three magis- trates and objected to being tried again before a magistrate.

JOINSTGNI McTavish's Old Stand. A New Yorkdaily paper, taking -up the idea conveyed in Flammarion's exciting novel, "Omega The last days ofthe World," has interviewed a num- ber of the leading men in all profes- sions as to what'they would do if sci- ence were te predict to morrow that the end of the ,world would arrive within the next thirty days. The ans wers are various and curious, and heighten the interest which is felt in the second part of Flammarion's great novel, which appears in the May Cos- MOPOLITAN„ It . is a question which everyone will find interesting.to ask of himself: What would you do if with in six weeks the end of the world were certain? Probably no novel which hats ever appeared in an American magazine has been more elaborately illustrated by more distinguished art ists. Laurens, Saunter, Togel, Meaulle, Rochegrosse, Geradin and Chovin all contribute to the explanation of the text. A Meyer story of another kind is that of the new English novelist, Gilbert Parker, in the same number. " American Society in Paris" is an art- icle of another kind, but one which will interest all who have had occasion to make even a short residence in the French capital. The COSMOPOLITAN sco.:es a success in producing in its May number,' almost simultaneously with the daily papers, an elaborate de- seription of Professor Gray's marvel- lous invention, the Telautograph, which reproduces the handw- iting, or the work of the artist, simultaneously, thousands of miles distant from the place where the writer or artist is sit- ting.
