Dr. Theodore Iterzl, the leader of
the Zionist movement,_had an moll-

cnce with tho Sultan some time ages
the result of which is reported to
have been that the objections of that
ruler to Jewish 'immigration were
practically overcome and that the
'Zionist movement will not hereafter
be ollieially impeded in Palestine,
Before the adjournment er the Zion -
1st ednfereace at Basle it was ox -
iced that Dr.Herz" would matte a
definite stateniciat of the result:if of
hls mission to Constantinople. If,
as reported, he has secured authori-
ty to push the work to which he has
consecrated his life, the main ob-
etaele in the way of its success has
been removed. In his interview with
the Sultan the cause that Dr. 'Tarsi
pleaded must, have been strongly
fortified by the favwsthlo results thus

'TOO MUCII Of A GOOD THING.
An clergyman kept his stock of
sermons in a pile in the vestry, and
It was his Gael= to preach the 'M -
o00 roost ono and then place it at
the bottom of the pile—Being absent
one Sunday, a brother clergyman
officiated, but he was horrified to
find that he had left, his sermon at
home. On looking round, however,
he saw this pile of sermons, and
took the one from tho bottom, exile
thought, it wouldbe the oldest. When
the service was over, he placed the
sermon on the top of the pile. Next
Sunday the rector preached the ser-
mon which was oh the top of the
heap, as was his custom. When he
was leaving the church be asked the
sexton what he thought of the sere
nioe and was shocked with the fol-
lowing reply : "Woll, it was good,
eir ; end atter hearing it for throe
Sundays we have it, off by heart.",

worts on Cape Breton.
Two of the thinge which impreesed
Dr. Mateiew most Were the racial
tegrity of the people, almost all of
whom are Acadian French or High -

"Such a typical glen is tl:e valley

of those broader sheets of water
,running up into the land which di-
verge from the more lake -like ex-

the comparative development of the

Canada's yield last. year was only

it represented a value of 512.06 pee

Canada's Increase per capita. in the
decennial period, 1891 to 1001, was
a fraction short of double that of
the 'United States, being 58,14,
against 54.11 that of the United
States. Ten years ago Canstda's

A whisper went about the city that

How true was the love of the Tsar
for this friend of' his boyhood is
