The invention of a bridle has been made by James D. Flynn, of Washing- ton, ashington, D. C., which the inventor claims will give great relief to horses in hot weather. The device is an ordinary bri- dle with a water compartment, designed to cover the top portion of the horse's head. Arrangement is made for the tilling and draining of this reservoir whenever an opportunity presents it- self, so that the compartment may be conveniently- filled with cool water when the water liar become warm.

Seventieth Annual lieet.tn„ — Began in " L+'arnily (;empaet" Days. Prominent among the older of the Canadian financial corporations stands the British America Assur- ance 0o'mplany, o: i.Mo city, which commented business in the days when' the' affairs of this Province were con- ducted by the old "family compact." It was organized in 1833, and had its Governor, Deputy Governor and Court of Directors, which offices were fill- ed by men wboee names are prom- inent in the history of those stir- ring time's in the Canadian political world. The seventieth annual meet- ing of the ehaneholders `vias held yes- terda,y and the replort presented shows that the company has not only been of late years modernized by having a Board of Directors, a Pre- sklea. and Vice -President substituted for the more stately titles of its early years, but that it has been keeping pace with the gnowth and prosper- ity of the country. ,an regard to volume of business it compares fav- orably with many of the, leading fire insurance companies of Great Brit- ain and the. United States, its pre- mium 'income having reached last year the large sam of $2,373,336.47. This is derived chiefly from agen- cies established throughout Canada and the United States, through some of its income comes from business beyond tbbe boundaries of this con- tinent. As will be seen by a refer- enc.o to the figures published in the report of yesterday's meeting, the year 1903 showed very favorable results and bears evidence of the favor with which Ontario's oldest financial institution is regarded by the insuring public, not only at home, but in its wider field of operations outside the limits of Canada. In his reuiarl'ks in presenting the annual report the President, Hon. George A. Cox, stated that the am- ount or the losses of the "British America" by the recent conflagra- tion at Baltimore had been ascer-4 twined to be somewhat under $210,- 000 210;000 (the original figures published immediately after the fire), which amount he pointed out represented about ten per cent. of the annual fire premium income of the com- pany. These losses are being promptly settled, and it will be ,gra- tifying to Ca.nadiane to know that in the case of this company, as well ne in that of the "Western," these being the only two Toronto fire in- surance compianies having agencies in Baltimore, the losses resulting from this exceptional disaster, will be met without seriously affecting their fin- ancial standing. A QUININE TRUST. It is said that the Peruvian bark rais- ers of Java are forming a trust. As Java supplies about 75 per cent. of the total amount of the Peruvian bark used in the world, and only 80 planters are en- gaged in cultivating the trees, it is pro- posed to erect more factories in Java and to use at least one-half of the yearly crop for this purpose, as well as to in- terest the Peruvian bark growers in oth- er countries in the trust, and so control the price of quinine in the market of the world, independent of the European in- dustry.

A distinguished physician, upon being asked what was the best spring main eine, replied that it was breathing. People have been exceptionally deprived of air during the past winter, and as the cold air. becomes sufficiently tempered not to injure the lungs, those organs should be built up again by daily breathing ex- ercises. Breathing is a sovereign remedy for our national disease of nervous de- pletion. Correct breathing brings inta play all the internal organs, artcl at the same time develops the heart, liver and BOTH .SIiOWEI) THEIR Oiti'lr.. Russian Officers Were Well Matched in Point <ifBravery. It is doubtful if the soldiers of any lStttiorl are braver than those of the Czar of Russia. It is related that Field Marshal Paskiovitch that in the course of the siege of Vttrsovie, being somewhat discommoded by a hot fire from a certain battery, he ordered it to he shelled, but to no Imrpose. His troops did not seem able to locate the enemy and their shot had no effect. Finally the field marshal himself galloped forward and stern- ly commanded ; "What imbecile is in tcommand here ?" "'I am," answered an officer who' approached, eWe1l, captain, I shall degrade yon. since you do not know your business. Your shells have no effect." "True, sir, but it is not my Sault. The shells do not ignite." "Tell that to others. Don't come trying to fool me with such chaff. You will receive your punishment this evening." The captain cooly took a shall from a pile near by, lit the fuse, and hold- ing it in the palms of his bands, pre- sented it to the marshal, saying ; "See for yourself, sir." The marshal, folding his arms across, his breast, stood looking at the smoking shell. It was a solemn moment. Both men stood motionless. Finally the fuse burned out, and the captain threw the shell to the ground. "It's true," remarked the marshal, turning away to consider other measures to silence the enemy's fire. In the evening, instead of punish- ment, the captain received the crass of the Order of St. Vladimir. FOUR KINDS OF LIARS. The late Sir Frederick Bramwell, of England, was famous both as a wit- ness and arbitrator in engineering dis- putes. It is recalled that his brother, the late Lord Justice Bramwell, on giv- ing advice to a young barrister, told him to be careful of four kinds of wit- nesses: "First, of a liar; second, of the liar who can only be adequately de- scribed by the aid of a powerful ad- jective; third, of the expert witness, and, finally, of my brother Fred."

Kilmarnock Town Council hap been the, victim of a great hoax. It has gravely aouepted a supposed offer from Mr. Carnegie to provide it marble temple Ira Burns, to cost "not more than w'000,U0J." Mr. Carnegie has made no such offer. A. letter p'urperting to he written by lir. Iiow Morrison, roi' I diuburgh, Mr. Caruegie's adviser in his library sebewes, reached the Provost of Kel- ma.rnock. It des:ribed ielm i;arnegie's plans for time nagnifi,cent temple, and was duly road to the grateful town council a law hours later. It was Mr. Carnegie's intontiun, the council heard with. rapture, to make the memorial a most elaborate one, the building to be constructed of granite, mate marble. or some other superior material, and to be of mag- nificent design. The interior would contain statues of Burns' contempo- raries and the principal characters of Ins creation, and under the donne cliaste figure of the immortal gen- ius would stand."

The most remarkable and striking feature of the new Liverpool Cathe- dral, Liverpool, England, will be this height of the viaultin,g of the nave and choir—measured in the barrel vaulting, 116 feet, and into the'bigb transcepts 140 feet—which cannot fail to produce a very' magnificent effect. No cathedral in the country', says to London St James Gazette, approaches its height. The nearest is 'Westminister, the nave of which has a height of 102 feet, 'while York measures 99 feet ; then Salisbury' 84 feet, and Lincoln, 82 feet. Chester reaches only 78 feet. The whispering gallery{ of St. Paul's Cathedral is 100 feet from the floor.
