Toronto, Jan. 22. — The latest development in the municipal elec- tion scandals is the immediate pros- pect of proceedings being taken to invalidate the whole election for controllers, and:also for aldermen in certain wards. It is stated that the citizens niay prepare for some startling revelations, -when some of those accused of tampering with the ballets conte up for trial. The investigation now going on by the crown attorney and mayor is of the most minute and far-reaching character, and the ingenuity of both these gentlemen is being tax- ed to its uttermost in following, every possible clue to wrongdloing' asked why ho l.ieul put o In discussing the: situation, one . £oro, he told me it is ye<u s and . white clouds.

To her the seveenteen years through- out which she lay in deep slumber, passed as a single night. She is amazed and mystified, weeping hys terically for the loved ones whom she insists wore with her "last even ing," but who have really been dead now these ten years. Miss Meyer was awakened by bells sounding a fire alarm. Sit- ting up in bed, she remarked that she would go downstairs and help her mother to get the breakfast.— Upon being told that her mother was dead, she declared it was a cru el hoax ; she knew better, for had she not seen her well and hearty only the night before. Then her long nap was explained though she would not believe until shown how every person she knew W. C. T, U. Up in The Clouds With The Crooked Steel " If anything gods Wrong with it he'll have to bo mighty sprig or he will bo ,caught" muttered the old mail. " Once up," called Jimmy, and the driver chirruped to the horses. Now, these horses knew their bus iness almost as perfectly as Jimmy did his, and the driver was in the habit of boasting that they could deck logs just as well without him as with him.— when they heard that chimp they knew that their business was to lean just a trifle harder against the collars and start the log, with a slow, steady pull. They would have 'done it, too, but, as luck -would have it, a tree stood just beside their path, and on the tree was a dead branch. There was no wind that morning, and why that dead limb should have chosen that par- ticular moment to fall is ono of the lead changed. She had gone to things that no one knows, or ever sleep a young woman of 23 a mir- will know, But it did fall, and the roe gave unmistakable evidence to startled horses lunged forward with her that she now is 40. a jerk that carried • the log clean During all these years, Geisne Over.

Here is Miss Meyer's own view of her case " I can't get used to this strange order of things. I fell asleep—last night, I thought—and when I woke they tell me it is not the next day, but seventeen years later. I am in a frightful state. And it is• hard to get used to the changes that havo come over my father and broth er and every friend. I knew ; some, they say, are even dead and buried. I have apparently grown older my- self, but I cannot realize it. " I can renxeinber an incident as though it was yesterday : I fell off Then his eyes of cue d, he danced up at use for amoment, gravely and my fathers wagon an the way other down the steep face 'of the skidway. We thought he was dead when WO picked him up, but his heart was still beating, and by the old man's orders we took hila to the nearest railway station and got a freight locomotive and a flat car— the only train to be had—to take hint to the hospital. He was going to the Soo, after all, but not in the way he had dreaded. I sat beside him as he Iay on the blankets, and held his hands, and by and by the blankets stirred and I thought I saw a look of consciousness in his face.

Hall Cane Broken Down. Hall Cane the novelist and dram- pointments, yet I think I would rather have taken the hard. knocks along with the satisfaction of being alive." A good. ina.ny stupid things have been said relative to the alleged ne- cessity of protecting Canadian farm ors against American competion in their own markets, but the acme of absurdity is surely reached in. the proposal to protect Canadian dairy- men against the flooding of our markets with American cheese.-- atist, has probably planned his last Those who make this. proposal are romance. He is completely broken apparently not aware of the fact down in health, and is in such physthat the Americans are no longer a ical condition that death may come at any moment. Acting on the orders of Physi- cians the stricken author 'will start for St. Moritz, Switzerland, where he will try the mineral bath treat- ment. Hall Caine has achieved. world- wide distinction as a novelist of ori- ginality and power. Born about fifty-five yearfi ago, near Douglas, Isle of Man, he made a special study of the traditions and folk lore of the quaint little island in the Irish sea. The best known of these books are " The Manxman" and "Tho Bondsman." His most meccas - fill dramatic works 'were " The Christian and " The Eternal City." Not Growing Fast.

In the cloven months end- ing with November, the total ex- ports of the United States cheese amounted to $2,154,000, and the im- ports to $2,960,000 ; in other words, the American im por. is of cheese ex- ceeded the exports by nearly $800,- 000. Detroit, Mich., Jan. 22.—The pro. jest of a new deep -water' canal across Canada, connecting Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, and doing away with the necessity of vessels navigating Detroit River, is not taken Seriously by vessel -owners on the lakes, although it is said by the promoters to have attracted London and Paris capitalists. That the canal will cut off six hours from the trip between the upper and lower lakes does not impress owners, as it would tend to length- en the season, and the longer.. sea- ' immigration rettuns for 1901 and son makes lower freight rates. - 1 902, ates.-1902, show a net increase to be 55.

There- upon began the liveliest cat hunt that has ever been known in Bing- hamton. Playing with a stray eat in her mother's boudoir, little Miss Clark- son found. the jewels. When the mother entered the room and look- ed for her diamonds—three rings valued. at 800—she could. find no trace of them. "I had. them wrapped up in white paper," she said to Lucille. "Did yon?" asked the child, de- murely ; "then kittie has eaten them, for she had them in her mouth when she ran away." And the gems have not yet been found. H IL .PICK Mr. Mills, whose appointment on the Railway Commission is an- nounced, took charge of theiOntario Agricultmal College at a time when the kid -glove farmer was an object of derision, and when it was very hard to keep the Legislature to the support of scientific farming. -- That is all changed now, partly by scientific farming's own victories, no doubt, but greatly to Mr, Mills' tactful persistence and executive ability.
