In his serial, "The Eight for Norte America," now renniug In the Cana Wait tylit.gazine, reit'. A. G, Bradle gives% an interesting picture of lilt Ci tidie.0 noblesse of the later par pats' of the French. regime, He says • "The Canaeitan noblesse, however was an artificial affair, a force:l Matter is its inception end, thougl a very distinct order of society, ac quiring but little substance. Just as au early Governor of 'Virginia wrote that, everybody wanted to be a gen, tleman, so the sevonteenth-century Governors of Canada reported that there was a universal craving to get a patent of nobility with its some- what barren accompaniments, and assumptions of empty -rank were eo:rt- lawn and easy enough in a country where, outstde the official list, neither' noble nor simple at that time earned much more than their food or clothes. Signeuries, large in extent, covered with dense forests, cleared only on the river front, formed the unit of life outside the few towns. !The log houses of the peasant ten- antry extended along the river front, 'while the scarcely superior mansion of the seigneur, with the inevitable mill and not seldom a parish church, stood close at band. Trifling rents, and those paid, when paid at all, in kind, just served to keep this strange species of nobleman and his family in food and clothes. Even this result was' not always achieved, kings of Prance baying more than once to send ont provisions to save their transatlantic nobility from starva- tion. Sometimes even their wives and daughters worked In the field. What- ever his origin, however, once en- nobled, the seigneur was not at lib- erty to follow any trade or calling, andit is small wonder that "sloth and pride," according to contempor- ary mFrencll writers, were his distin- guishing points. But these very at- tributes and the conditions of his life, while inimical to success in peace, made him formidable in war. The ragged Canadian gentilhomme, inured to the chase and a stranger to luxury, equally at home in the trackless forest, or on the boiling rapid, was the beau ideal of an ir- regular soldier. Brave, hardy, ad- vent .roes, and somewhat callous to human suffering, he was an admir- able leader to a peasantry who akar- ed most of his qualities and were Only lees ready than himself to an- swer the call to arms." y e t �. 1 rota Jest to Earnest.

Meat's clothes are becoming more and more fanciful, according to a great London tailor, who welcomes the growing revolt against the "sombre sameness" of evening dress. ,Society men are ,taking to knee breeches among other fads. and if the present craze keeps up a pair of long trousers will soon be a rar- ity hi Mayfair. The king has taken a personal interest in the attempt to make men's dress more becoming. He wears evening dress as little as possible, and upon every possible oc- casion he causes the gentlemen of the eourt to discard the dull black garments for bright uniforms. To the influence of the king may be ascribed the desire of many men to become more artistically clothed. Over a Century Old. Toronto, Junction, Tan. 4. --John C.

Has Seen More Administrations Than Any President in History. 1tfr. Cleveland has lived in the time of more administrations than any one who has ever been President, says the New York . Sun. He was born in 2837. In that year Martin Van Buren was in- augurated President, consequently Mr. Cleveland has lived in the administra- tions of Van Buren, the short term of William Henry Harrison and the re- mainder of the term to which Tyler succeeded; also in the administrations of Polk, Taylor, Fillmore, Pierce, Bu- chanan, Lincoln, Johnson, two terms of Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Benja- min Harrison, McKinley and thus far in the administration of Roosevelt—in all, eighteen, 'and, including his own, twenty. Mr. Cleveland has not only lived in the administrations mentioned, but he has lived. to see six Vice -Presidents suc- ceed to the Presidency, three of them —Johnson,. Arthur and Roosevelt—com- ing to the White House through the assassination of their predecessors. The others were Van Buren, Tyler and Fillmore. The fact that Mr. Cleveland is the only President who succeeded himself four years after his first administration is well known, and is to be added to the other unusual things about his political life.

The sergeant -major was making the examination, when his eagle eye detected the absence of soap in the kit of Private Trlinn, and he demanded what excuse the man had to give. "Plaze, sere, it's all used," said Flinn. "Used!" shouted the sergeant - major. "Why, the first cake of soap I had served to me ,for my kit lasted mo three years, w,hiie you are not a, year in the ranks yet. I:Iiow do you account for that?" Flinn's eyes had he faintest sus- picion of a twinkle, as he replied; "PisLze, seer, I wash every day." And the sergeant -major walked on while the entire company grinned.

Any one who has travelled through the tidewater counties of Virginia is aware that the speech of the negro popu- lation there differs materially from that used in the .eOtton fields of Alabama. The sing -song speech of the camp - meeting negro from the hilly part of Northern Georgia differs essentially from the softer and more melodious speech of the Louisiana negroes from the region of canebrakes and rice fields. The negro race in the South is essen- tially imitative, and inLouisianna, where the reminders of French occupation are many, the •r'rench accent and intona- tion are preserved. In South Carolina, which has, relatively, the largest negro population, there are found in the tide- water emetics the Guinea negroes whose dialect ithas been found difficult for many visitors to understand. In Southern and Southwestern Mis- nouri the negro dialect differs entirely from what it is elsewhere in the South, and in the Indian Territory, where there is a considerable negro population, many Indian phrases and Indian methods of speech have become incorporated in the speech of the colored population.
