337 the census statistics recently pub-
lished in Ireland it is shown that Metho.
diets and Jews are the only religious
bodies that increased during the decade
ending with 1801. The Catholics show a
deorease of 411,140, or 10.4 per cent.
since 1881 ; Protestant Episcopalians
have decreased 38,7.4 or 0.4 per cent. ;
Presbyterians have declined by 24,047, or
0.1 per cent. There are at the present
time 05,285 Methodists in Ireland—an
increase on the ten years of 0,800, or 18.1
per cent ; while the Jews have advanced
from 472 to 1,708.
Tx is announced that the Government
has decided to abolish the rebate of eigh-
teen cents a ton on grain shipped by the
St. Lawreuoe canals to Montreal, and to
give equal treatment to Canadian and
American vessels using the Welland Canal.
whether bound to Canadian or Amerioan
ports. This means that grain passing
westward through the Welland Canal,
whether a Canadian or American vessel,
no matter whither bound, will pay a toll
of twenty Dents a ton, and having paid
that toll will be allowed to pass through
the St. Lawrence canals free.
Tun Ottawa Free Press says :—Not
long ago it was announced that a steam•
ship line was to be placed upon the route
between Montreal and the West India
Islands, for the purpose of supplying
Canada with tropical fruits. Now the
promoters of the scheme say they will
make Boston the terminus of their line
unless the Dominion government grants
them a big subsidy. It seems that all
those eo•cafled "patriotic" enterprises are
merely so many schemes for bleeding the
Dominion treasury. If the promoters of
a steamship company can scare Mr. Fos-
ter into giving them a subsidy by threats
of course they are not to be blamed for
taking advantage of their opportunities.
Business is busioess. The people to
blame are the members of parliament
who tolerate each systematic black-
mailing of the public treasury.
Bs his entry into the British Parlia-
ment iron, Edward Blake has been made
better known to the world at large than
in all his previous experience. His
name is now found in almost every
British and United States paper publish-
ed, and many and varied are the specula-
tions regarding his future. It seems to
be the fate of Canadian statesmen to be
little known outside our own territory.
The London Standard was wont to speak
of Sir Thomas Macdonald ; and a few
years ago when a prominent lawyer of
Toronto, spent his holidays in a large
inland Ohio oity, he found the only
Canadian whose fame was known and
recognized by the leading men of the
place was Edward Hannan, the obampion
oarsman. Mr. Blake will probably a.
ohieve a more extended fame as a mem.
ber of the British Parliament for one
year than would go to him if he were
Primo Minister of Canada for 20 years.
One cause of this lies in the fact that
the Dominion is only a colony, a state of
affairs which keeps our leading states.

The Australian apple shippers pack
their apples in boxes which oontain
about forty pounds weight of fruit.
These sell in the London market at very
handsome figures, being proportionately
about double the price received by Nova
00otia31 apple•growers. This difference
in value is certainly not due to the qual-
ity of the fruit, and is due, accordiug to
the Canadian Gazette, to the more con-
venient size of the package. If this be
true, our apple growers should not be
slow in taking advantage of the more
marketable package.
A Washington despatch says :—The
secretary of the treasury has written
Senator McMillan, of Michigan, declining
to allow horses to be brought over from
Canada to Detroit or Port Huron for
racing or exposition purposes unless a
bond is given that they shall be returned
to Canada within six months, or the duty
paid on them. For some time these
horses have been brought over witout a
bond, and treasury agent who investigat-
ed reported that the practice resulted in
many irregularitiee, by which horses were
brought over to Detroit and Port Huron
ostensibly for show purposes and never
returned. No bond was taken to compel
their reborn, Now, however, Secretary
Foster will insist upon the strict letter
of the Mo'Siuley Iaw, which requires a
bond.
Dining is not in Japan the serious bus-
iness it is in England. The Japanese do
not meet to eat, but eat because they have
met, and conversation and amusement
form the principal part of a banquet.
Conversation need not be held only with
your neighbors, for if a man wishes to
speak to a friend in another part of the
room he quietly slips the paper panel be.
hind him, passes into the verandah, en-
ters the room again, and sits down on
the floor before his friend. Exchanging
cups is the chief oeremony at a Japanese
dinner. Sake—a spirit made from rice,
resembling dry cherry—is drank hob out
of the tiny lacquer and gold cups through-
out dinner ; and the mnsmes, whc sit on
their heels in the open space of the floor,
patiently watch for every opportunity to
fill your pup with sake. When a gentle-
man would esohange cups --which is
equivalent to drinking your health—he
sits down in front of you and begs the
honor. You empty your cup into a bowl
of water, have it filled with sake, drink,
wash it again, and hand it to your friend ;
he raises it to his forehead, bows, has it
filled and drinks. As this ceremony has
to be gone through with a great many
times, drinking is often a mere pretenoe.
Eating is, however, but a small part of
the entertainment. We must he amused,
and to amuse is the business of the
geishas, the licensed singing and dancing
girls who are attached to every tea house.
But the singers at a Japanese dinner only
take the part of a chorus in a Greek play,
and they sing the story which dancing
girls represent or suggest by a series of
gestures or postures.• The danoers are
splendidly dressed, and their movements
are so interesting, so unlike anything
seen in Europe, that we watch them with
a curious sense of plsa5ure. -Tho Table.
A horrible murder was committed
at Celina, a town near Cleveland,
Ohio, Friday, which in point of atrocity
is almost unparalleled In the annals of
crime. Ballenbacgh Bros. own a thresh-
ing machine and were ab work on the
Henry Sohalernk farm, near cabers the
terrible affair. occurred. John Shryhook
and Frank Day, who have been on bad
terms fox some time, were both employed
on the maohine, the former feeding it,
while the latter was engaged in cutting
the bands with which the wheat was tied.
Everything progressed nicely, the two
speaking very little to each other. This
coldness was noticed by several, but no
further attention was paid to it. By
accident Shrybook missed a sheaf of
wheat and the knife struck Day on the
hand, inflicting a bad wound. Shryhook
begged his pardon, but Day did nob Jock
at it that way, and grew very insulting,
even going as far as threatening to throw
Shryhook into the maobine if he did it
again. Nothing was thought of the re-
mark until Shryhook again cut Day's
band ; whether intentionally or accident-
ally is nob known and never will be. En.
raged beyond control Day parried his
threat into execution, and, grabbing
Shryhook by the waist, threw him head
forward into the machine, and then
jumped to the ground and attempted to
escape. But his fiendish nab did sob pass
unnoticed, as it was aeon by the engineer
who immediately brought the machinery
to a standstill and oollared Day in time
to prevent his getting away. By hard
work the mutilated remains of Silty-
hook
iltyhock were extracted from the machine,
and the sight was a sickening one. The
body was mangled and torn completely
into shreds and was unrecognizable.
This horrible piece of butchery spread
consternation among the rest of the party
and it guiciciy disbanded. Day at once
gave himself up to the authorities, Tre-
mendous exoitement prevailed around
Celina, as both parties were well known.
Henry Shryhook, a brother of the Mur -
dared man, arrived upon the some a little
later and raved like a maniac. Procuring
a pitchfork he wont over to where Day
was, and, with a curse, plunged it into
