On his latest visit to Toronto his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught again showed himself to be every inch a Prince and a gentleman and with interests and sympathies as human as the most demo- cratic • oratie could wish. Torontonians, how- ever, o -ever, cannot; forget that he is a Prince of Royal bleed, At the ceremonies at the Exhibition at which his Royal High. ness °Bieleted some of the local digni. taries were obviously quite overawed. Not so Rev. Dr. Briggs, the venerable stew- ard of the Methodist ehuroh, who was present iii the capacity of unofficial chap• lain for the purpose of invoking Divine blessing. In nmellifluous phrases and re- sonanttones delivered etiwould hgtaryalmeng.He did not forget to ask care end guidance for his Majesty and his Royal represen- tative, but the record as a field Marshall of the man who stood beside him and his avowed interest in the cadet and similar movements did not prevent the reverend doctor from asking frustration of the pians of those who delight in war. After Dr. Briggs' invocation the pro- ceedings were about as stiff and formal as one could imagine, President 3. G. Kent read a stiff little address of wel- come. to whioh he did not add one word of informality. Throughout the entire proceedings he looked somewhat uncom- fortable. Then his Royal` highness read an address in reply. And the small boys present noted that when he took his eyes off the manuscript he sometimes had to pause to find the place again. This reading finished, his Royal highness bowed aind started to retire, the audi- ence standing. There was a hushed si- lence. It was George H. Gooderham, M.P.P., who broke in with `three cheers for the Duke and Duchess." lie didn't even say which Duke and Duchess. The audience was so overcome by the infor- mality of this proceeding that it almost forgot to cheer. Another silence. "And the Princess too," piped another voice, But the crowd could scarcely cheer at all for gasping. ROYAL LADIES OBSERVE AND OBSERVED. Of course, the Duchess of Connaught and the Princess Paericia, the former sitting on the left of President Kent at the front of the draped Royal box, and the latter immediately behind her father on the right, were the cynosure of much observation, particularly from the fem- inine portion of the crowd. Everyone said they were glad to see the Duchess lookingwell1 so after her recent illness. Indeed it was a surprise that she cane to Toronto at all on this trip. Follow- ing the English fashion, both the Duchess and the Princess wore heavy veils, which mado it almost impossible to observe their features, but it was evident that be- hind this fortification they were quietly and critically ol;serving as many of his Majesty's subjects as they could in the time allowed. The occasion was graced. by the pres- ence of a number of politicians, including Hon. G. E. Foster, looking mellower and serener with the passing years. Hon. 3. S. Duff, who easily makes the transition from overalls on the farm to frock coat for Royalty, the immaculate Hon. Dr. Pyne and a number of others. There was more informality at some of the other functions attended by the Royal party. Noteworthy ,woe the . mon- ster' garden perty-.orgatastedm j}iiAn'a golden jubilee by the Royal Canddiarl •Yaebt Club, but which was sadly marred at the and be a terrine thunderstorm, which swept and drenched the island home of the club like a young cyclone. On every occasion the Duke showed interest, even enthusiasm, in the proceedings. Evident- ly he spoke with absolute sincerity when in one of his addresses he said: • I have learned enough about your city and your citizens to be able to identify myself with your aspirations, your difficulties and your successes." CATHEDRAL AT LAST UNDER WAY. It is thirty-seven years since ground was broken for Toronto's Church of Eng- land Cathedral, and yet to -day the city is still without a cathedral. True, St. James, at King and Church streets, with its fine edifice and historical associations, dating back more than oue hundred years, is commonly referred to as St, James Cathedral, but, properly speaking, it is not such. On various occasions at- tempts have been made to give it the status as well- as the popular designa- tion of a cathedral, but all have come to naught. One of the chief difficulties in the way is the fact that St. James' pews are not free, a condition essential to a cathedral. And it would be no easy matter to free the pews in St. James, because nanny of them have been held in the same families for generations, and are surrounded with associations that it would be difficult to disturb. Properly speaking, St. Albans Is the cathedral of Toronto. As such it should be°the seat of the Bishop, but hitherto it has' been little more than a name. As stated, it is nearly forty years since the upper Howland 4venuertthen far from the centre of population, was acquired, but the only portion of the church edi- fice that has been constructed is the nave, or -eastern wing, and up to the present this small section with its west end board- ed up in primitive style, has accommo. dated the congregation. It is difficult to explain this extraordinary delay. It means, for one thing, that the ambitions of the cathedral promoters have been away beyond their powers of achieve- ment. Some said that if Canon Cody had been elected Bishop, of Toronto he would quickly have made the cathedral a real- ity. They based their supposition on the meccas he has made of St. Paul's. However, an energetic committee under the direction of Bisbee Sweeney, has been grappling with the financial problem in- volved. and have made such substantial progress that the corner stone has now been laid for the south transept of the building. The ceremony was performed by the Duke of Connaught, and it is hoped thet such happy auspices foresha• low an early realization of the long-de- layed ideal. FIRE RUINS AFTER EIGHT YEARS. Although it is more than eight years since Toronto's big fire, almost the first thing that meets the eye of a visitor reaching the city by way of the Unice Station is a view of the section of the ugly ruins lying between 'Front street and the flay. This,unpicturesque sight oeeu- pying one of the most valuable areas in the city. lying unproductive all these years, tells the story of a long feud be - p RV BOER HEELS Tread softlly - Step safely.

COERCING A RAILWAY. The la•:est order of the Raiiwav Board is unequivocal and specific, and the only things the Canadian Pacific can do now aro to appeal to the Dominion Govern- ment, or to stubbornly defy the Board's order. Neither of these courses is likely to be effective. True, the only penalty provided in case the railway refuses to obey the order is a fine of $100 a day, which, amounting to only $36,500 a year would he but a fleabite to that wealthy. corporation. But the Railway Board cannot afford to be defied, and will doubt- less find some method of making the re- calcitrant company toe the scratch. It might get Parliament to pass legislation providing_„severer penalties, or it mioht order the construction to' be made and collect the Canadian Pacific's share through the courts. Meanwhile the eyesore of the conflagra- tion ruins is but the smallest of many inconveniences the city is undergoing, due to the delay. The level crossings at Yonge and Bay streets used by thou- sands everyday on their way to the boats are intolerable nuisances, to say nothing of being death traps. And then there is the dungeon which goes by the nam of Toronto's Union Station. It probably laold' the distinction of being the most inadequate and most inconvenient sta- tion which an' city of Toronto's size any- where can boas:.

For this reason the viaduct ought to be all the more appreciated when it conies, though there are those who maintain that the viaduct is all a huge mistake, and that a system of over- head bridges would have been much more practical, THIRTEEN 'YEARS. Unlucky Number for Dakota Woman. • The . e ti` qti s on whether the num- ber "13?' is really more unlucky” than any other number has never been entirely settled. A So. Dakota woman, after thir- teen years of misery from drinking coffee; found a way to break the "unlucky spell" Tea is just as in- jurious as coffeebecause it contains caffeine, the drug in coffee. She writes: "For thirteen years I have been a, nervous wreck from drinking cof- fee., My liver, stomach, heart—in fact, my whole system being actu- ally poisoned by it. "Last year I was confined to .my bed for six months. Finally it dawned on me that coffee caused the trouble. Then I began using Postum instead of coffee, but with little faith, as my mind was in such a condition that I hardly knew what to do next. "Extreme nervousness and fail- ing eyesight caused ..me to lose all courage. In about two weeks .after I quit coffee and began to use Pos- tum, I was able to read and my head felt clear. I am improving all the time and I will be a strong, well woman yet. "I have fooled more than one person with a delicious cup of Pos. tum. Mrs. S. wanted to know where I bought my fine coffee. I told her my grocer had it and when she found out it was Postum she has used it ever sinceand her i nerves are building up ne.

To get around this a a'culty here's what they do. They; go :to a big,bond house and tell them the circumstances and offer them the mortgage, which they buy. Their plant; equipment, lands, and all other as- sets are mortgaged to a trustee, usually a tru;-' company. The trust company, M- ete + p2 turning over to the bond house th izl , ^rtgage,'turns over to it 2,000 small ma es, each one representing one tw sandth.of the $2,000,000 mortgage of .a p r value of $1,000 each, Every one of e would bear on its face an ab - bre form of the big mortgage and ea(. a a?uld . be signed by the president and 'r sea. tar of theMassey-Harris e Y Com Each would also be endorsed lacer of the Trust Company to show* ri9iat it was properly issued. In other' words, the bond is merely a sub- divi d mortgage, each bond ranking equa y. ;with every other bond and equ- ally secure. In this way the bond hnuee which leuys the mortgage, instead of have ing. gee plata the whole mortgage with one 1nan, niay sell it to 2,000 inveszora, giviug each a thousand dollar bond. But this isnot all. Suppose this issue we aa'e speaking of has fifteen years to run. The interest, as is usual with in- dustrial bonds of this nature, will be at the rate of six per cent. per annum; pay able half yearly.

But whether they are e5,000 each—aa many old issues were di- vided—or $100, at the present time, the priafciple is the same, and the bonds aro equally secure. The half -yearly coupon on the $100 bond is only $3, instead of $30 on the 61,000 bond, but the security is. exactly the same. When. you get a chance have a Iook at a boxtd.

Extract Frons. the Diary of a Tra- veller in That Country. About noon it got too hot for anything'•and I took a well-earned swine in a secluded creek, amid shoals of fish, large and small, who apparently resented my intrusion from the way they came and stared at me, says a writer in The Gentle- min au, &mid vn`oaxl r i the we,- ter that .a host .uf blue brown ants had taken possession of my clothes, and when they were shaken out they revenged themselves by biting my bare feet in a way which wars exceedingly painful. There are thousands of ants everywhere. Some of the anthills high and six feet are three feet g —sharpnip but except fora at the time, the ordinary ant's bite is not noticeable. But if a soldier ant or a bull ant or 'a greenhead (an ant about VA inches long with a green head) bites you, it is not to be forgotten because they take quite a big piece out. Then there are the white ants (not really ants, but termites), which cheerfully eat the insides out of the beams of the wooden houses, and recently have been eating the sheet lead on the top of the Sydney Museum. The city fathers thought this was going a little too far, so now the ants are preserved inside the museum with samples of the half consumed lead as .a warning to all who would allow their appetites to run away with them. .
