Among the exports to England from P land lately have been hundreds of stick yellow birch, fifteen to twenty feet 1 and from two to three feet square, that to be manufactured into veneers and fur tare. The largest band -sawing machine in the world has recently been completed in Eng- land and sent to Tasmania. The machine can saw through a maximum depth of 75 inches and the carriage will accommodate logs 50 feet long and weighing about 50 tons. It is asserted that this saw cuts even faster than a eircular saw, while wast- ing 75 per cent less wood. A lifeboat. of aluminium has recently been built at Stralsund. It is a matter of consid- erable curiosity to see how this boat will answer when thoroughly tested, as it is thought to be more than likely that its ob- vious good points will be more than counter- balanced by various disadvantages. The uew regulations of the Suez Canal have necessitated the building of vessels for carrying eil in bulk.

It was the first execution in Switzerland for twenty-five yenta, capital punishment having been abolished in 1867, and that method of inflicting punishment having been resumed only recently. An eptdemic-of sorra fever is muting great tronbled and alarm in Palouse, Wash- ington, and in an effort to cope with it the Mayor has issued an edict making it main datory on alt parents to keep their children close at borne and off the public streets until further notice. Thephyseian who dissected the body of SChneider, the strangler executed in Vienna, reports the brain as abnormally developed, with evidence of having been affected from childhood withh ydrocephalus, so that the brain power was diminished and the moral sense rendered almost non-existent. In St. Petersburg the news from hlongolia that " Bogdi Khan" will be dethroned and will be succeeded by " Irsana,, the immortal descendant of Zingis Khan," is interpreted to mean that the Emperor of China will be dethroned, and that the days of the present dynasty are numbered, as the Mongolian title of tlie Emperor is Bogdi Khan - The week of installing the Jewish immi- events in the Argentine Republic is being, actively carried:on. A branch railwaydhas been constructed to what is known as the Mauricie Colony, where the Hebrews are being established, and 200 families are al- ready comfottably settled and engaged in the cultivation of the soil. A new solution of the wage problem has been brought forward in Belfast, Me. A 3hopkeeper hired a clerk and paid him $4 for the first week. At the end of the second week the clerk was surprised when he re- seivecl only $3, and he asked the reason of ihe cut down. "Why," responded the shopkeeper, "you. know more about the business now, and the work must come easier to you." The clerk, fearing a con- tinued application of that unique theory, resigned. The Arabs who used to catch thousands ot slaves in the Bahr el Ghazel country, where Dr. Junker worked so long, extended their ravages hundreds of miles weitward, where they met the forces of the Congo Free hitate, that -inflicted overwhelming defeat apon them.

A num= her of men were waiting at the railroad set- tlement for the snow to thaw, so that they could locate claims,but the women Said they had no time tiawait, and ,they waded through the snow. A Michigan syndicate had bought 200,000 acres of railroadland in that region, planned improvements, and projected lumber mills, and as the indica- tions were that three or four hundred peo- ple were ahlanning to found a colony there, the womenithought they saw et. big future and they put in their homestead claims: A number of similar instances of women min- ers, women ranchers, and women home- steaders have come to notice lately in the great West. Tbe Trans-Andine Railway is so nearly completed that a gap of only about fifty-five miles remains between the present termini; and the entire distance between Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso, 882 miles, can be traversed now in seventy-two hours, includ- ing necessary delays. The old route by way of the Straits of lidagellan occupied twelve days. The employment of plaster in the mani- pulation of wines is still quite general throughout the South of France. A recent law has decreed that the maximum amount of sulphate or potassium per litre in mer- chantable wines shall be two grams, and therefore the wine trade has made a demand for the reduction of the amount of sulphate wines on hand to the legal limit. The Dinner Table. Very few young housekeepers know how to economize, It is an easy thing to have a nice dinner when you haie everything at hand ; by just sending to the butchers for a roast and its accompanying vegetables. Then all you do is cook the food. Now it is quite a different thing to prepare a nice meal from the remains of a roast of beef or mutton which stands in your larder. Do not give up, it can be accomplished, as easily as many other things of every day occurrence, by a Hare display of culinary art. Never mind if discouragment does meet, your first attempt, by some fussy member of the family, if the dish is well served, no one need complain. Beginning with the com- monest of all: Has.—Take any cold meat, beef or mut- ton preferred, chop fine, first removing a,fl bone, gristle, etc. To two cupfuls of this meat add one cupful of mashed potatoes, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt, pep- per and herbs. Heat almost a cupid of gravy in the frying pan, then put in your meat and potato stirring it until the gravy is well absorbed. A pretty way to serve this dish is with a garniture of parsley and dice of tracted bread. If you have any left, mould it into croquettes or rolls with the addition of a little flour, and fry in boiling lard; this must be daintily served, and tastefully garnilhed. FRENCH DISH, —Take about two cupfuls each of chopped veal and ham ; soak two cupfuls of bread crumbs in one cupful of boiling milk; season and mix together with two well beaten eggs ; put into a well butter- ed naold or dish and bake for half an hour, not allowing the crust to become hard; turn on a platter and serve hot. • POTATO PIE. —Ca any eeld meat in inch square pieces, lay in a pie dish with any cold gravy, or, if there is no gravy, add a •sprinkle of corn starch and a little cold water ; cover the whole with a thick layer of mashed potatoes as a arust and bake a rich brown. BRAISED BEEF .—Take a piece of rump steak an inch thick ; fry it slightly in butter on botk sides; add enough hot stock to jest cover the steak ; season with pepper and salt and a sprinkle of herb ; add also a car- rot and sliced onion ; let it simmer slowly an hour and a half or two hours; put some butter and flour in another saucepan; add the gravy in which the steak was stewed and a little tomato catsup; lay the steak in a platter, arranging the • carrot neatly around it; pour over it the hot sauce. DEVILLED MUTTON, —Melt in a clean fry- ing pan two tablespoonfuls of butter, and one of red currant jelly; when it simmers put into it slices of the cold mutton, cut evenly, and not too fat; heat slowly, turn- ing several times, _until they are hot, but not until they begin to crisp; serve the slices on a hot platter; cover and set over hot water; to the remaining liquor add three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and small quanti. ty of made mustard and a pinch of salt; let it boil up, and pour it over the meat on the platter. TURKEY Scoe_roo—(or chicken); pick the meat from the bones of cold turkey and p chop fine; put a layer of bread crambs on m the bottom of a buttered dish, moisten with w a little milk; then add a layer of turkey, it with bits of dressing and a small piece of butter on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper; t/aen enother layer of bread crumbs, and so -7•1 on till the dish is nearly full; add a little c boiling water to the gravy left over and et pour it on the turkey; then for the top crust t beat two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of milk, et one of melted butter, a little salt and crack- c er crumbs sufficient to make thick enough ei to spread on with a knife; put pieces of but. le ter on the top and bake three-quarters of m an hour, with a tin plate over it; t about 10 gr minutes before serving remove plate and re brown. ei BEEF KIDNEY STEW. —Wash, remove all tr bits of skin ann fat, ,cut into small pieces ig and soak in salt and water for an hour or fo more; brown a lump of butter in a stew ti pan; drain the kidney and put it in a stew fi,„ pan ; nearly cover it with water and allow th it to cook slowly for two hours; thicken th with a little flour and better; serve hot on A DEW ORDER: oriniii , How Louden The Great is Governeda-4 Model System. The most remarkable experiment iodise made in the way of municipal administration is now going on among the vast conglomers ation of human beings which De quid: cey called the "nation"of London ,,The; scope, powers, and cirganization of the new London County Council and the wog- graimmes of its leaders are discussediat length in the April nannber of the Review of Reviews. What is known as the Metrot politan Police District covers an area defined by a radius of fifteen miles. from Charing Cross, and comprises severaihundred square miles. It comprehends a population pf.oeare, ly 6,000,000. Outside of the small inner nucleus bearing the historical title of the City of London, which at present has only about 30,000 residents, the huge British metropolis was up to 1889 split into a num- ber of irregular small divisions and govern- ed by parish vestries and district beaticla There was no unified municipah'spirit, and there was universal apathy and ignorer ce with regard to the methods and doings of the parish vestries. Four years ago a man might have walked the streets of London ten hours a day for a month, buttonholing every intelligent citizen he met, and the chances were that he would not in that time have found a solitary person who could have explained to him how London was govern- ed. It is true that for the main drainage system and some of the most irmichriant street improvements, together with a few other purposes of general concern, there was e tablished some twenty years ago a so-ctlled "Metropolitan Board of Works," made up of delegates from the local district boards and parish vestries. This body, having no direct accountability to anybody, was neither efficient nor well constituthd, The great change which has taken place is not the outcome of any vehement agita tion in London itself, but an incidental re suit of the County Council act applied to the whole of England in 1889. By that measure the larger part of the parishes which had come to be known as the metro- polis, were erected into a separate county, and provision was made for a County Coun- cil, which was, infant, to beia great Muni- cipal Parliament, elected by the people of London. The districts of the metropolis, from each of which, two Councillors are chosen, are for the present identical with the fifty -pine electoral divisions from which members az eisent ta'Parliamentk The City bf London is thus far peemitted toerea thin its separate government'', and it is al- lowed representation in the County Council as one of the districts constituting the larger municipality. We should add -that the 118 anincilmen elected add to their number by choosing nineteen citizens to sit and act with them under the title of Aldermen. They are presided over by one of their mem- bers, who is chosen Chairman, and who ex- ercises some of the functions which in other cities pertain the the office of Mayor. It ishouldebe mentioned that the itounty Of London, imposing as it is, is not so large as it soon will be. It is by no means counter- miuous with the •Metropolitan Police Dis- • trict. It has an area of only about 120 square miles, and the population underthe jurisdiction of its Council scarcely exceeds, four millions and a half. One of the exten- sions of power which will probably, be de- manded by the Progressives, who control the Council recently elected by a majority of some 3' to 1, is theconcession ofi control over the Metropolitan Police. - When that demand is granted, the area- governed by the Council will coincide with that of the Metropolitan Police Distriet, -and will em- brace a population of about 6,000,000. As yet, however, the London County Council is only the framework of a great municipal government which future acts of Parliament are expected to fill in and com- plete. For the moniene its authority is comparatively limited. It took overall the powers that •had been vested in the obil Metropolitan Board of Works, and various other powers were confei red by the statute creating it. But many matters of munici- al concern were lett under the manage- ent of local districts and parishes; and its ater supply, its markets, its gas works, s trarnwa,ys, and its docks, remain in the ands of •private • oWners, The prot ramme of the Progressives, who are DOW ie unchallenged masters of the London ounty Council, contemplates a vast expan- on of its powers, and there is no doubt hat their wishes will be heeded if the Glad- onians are dominant in the next House of ornmons. Among the demands in which 1 the Progressives are agreed are the fol - wing: First that taxation reform shall ake the great landlords and holders of ound rents pay their share of municipal venue; secondly, that the rights of the ght private water companies shall be ansferred to the municipality; and third- , that trenchant measures shall be taken ✓ ale amelioration of the housing condi- oils of the poor. Not included in the of- ial programme, but urgently pressed by e representatives of workingmen to whom e recent victory of the Progressives is toast. FRIED SPRING CHICKEN. —Clean, joint and soak in salt and water for two hours; put in a frying pan equal quantities of lard and butter, in all enough to cover the chicken ; dip eaeh piece in beaten egg, roll in cracker crumbs and drop in the boiling fat; fry till brown c»both sides r serve on a hot platter garetished with parsley; pour the most of the fat from the frying pan, and thicken the remainder with browned flour, adding to it one cupful of boiling water. CHICKEN PATES. —Chop meat of cold chicken fine • season with salt; make a large cupful of rich drawn butter, and while on the fire add twit hard boiled eggs minced fine, a little chopped parsley, and the meat of a chicken ; let this mixture almost boil ; have ready some pate pans of good rich paste; remove the covers with edge of knife; fill in with the mixture, and arrange on a hot platter; in baking the crizst it is a good plan to fill in with a square of Sale bread, which is easily removed as some as it comes from the oven. This keeps the crust from falling fiat, as it would otherwise do without the chicken mixture. How Relics are Made. Mr. Archibald Forbes; writing on the fall of Sedan, tells a curious little story which shows the dubious origin of historical relies. After all was over, and General Wimpfen had signed the capitulation, Mr. Forbes and a companion found shelter for the night in he very room where -the capitulation was d nrawn up.- -While he at writing to his ewspaper, his friend gnawed a ham bone, here -being nothing left to eat. At last the m in gan threw the ham -bone carelessly upon he table, and it upset Mr Forbes's ink - bottle. Some time after, Mr. Forbes re- isited the scene, and the gt ida showed him he table marked by a huge ink -stain, which Wimpfen had caused. by overturning the k -bottle in the agitation of his shame and rief. Great sums had been effered for the - table with the historic ink -stain, but the wner valued it too mneh to part with it, One of the Joys of Living. fpne of the joys of living, one of the gladdest things, It is to see the sun come out and flood the earth with gold.

The production of fruit, as well asiitifi many other articles of food, has become in this and in other countries a constant strug- gle between man and various parasitic pests. The only way in which the para- sites can be successfully met and beaten is through the use of mechanical eaniaivauces and the application of poisons. The use of anything of a poisonous nature, even in ac- complishieg most desirable ends, alwawe meets with opposition from some quarters. Some are quite sincere in their opposition; though misinformed; others are selfish, and hope by their objection to divert trade to- wards their own little sources of supply, The production of potatoes would be very' uncertain if not absolutely impossible in this country were it not for the scientifie inves- tigations resulting in the present universal use of Paris green. The American vineyards are now being saved from blights and " rot " by the careful application of various poison- ous mixtures. Then the cry went up that the grapes were poisoned, and tons were condemned in some of the city markets, to be followed by the cry that the ground upon which the vines were growing would become - poisoned and sterile because of copper--Sc-- cumulations, These discouraging and dam- aging cries were exarnined and proved to be groundless. A little accurate information as to the nature of these mixtures, their methods of application and their effects will give the grape growers the mastery of their difficulty and settie the fears of the consumers. Along this line we have one of the strong- est recommendations for the producer hav- ing a knowledge of the elements of botany, entomology and chemistry. The latest sen- sation refers to the spraying of -our fruit._ trees with Paris green and London purple and the consequent effects upon the fruit. Before the committee of the Legislative As- sembly the other day Mr. James Fletcher, Dominion entomologist, gave evidence in which he referred to this scare as follows:— "With regard to spraying it may not be amiss to draw the attention to the false statements of the English press that our apples are poisoned from their absorb- ing arsenic. The statement is absurd. The physiology of the plant renders such •a thing impossible. The same thing used to be slid of potatoes though before the fruit of the potato could be injured the poison had to go through the leaves, This was long since proved to be absurd. It is the sanie with the pistil of the apple. It 'can- not absorb arsenic or any other poison. It is very important for us always to be on guard in the matter. The same charges were rnade some time no and refuted. They ceased for a time, bigt have been now recommenced. The object of the cry is simply to get a little cheap advertisment out of the cry of poison in American ap- ples,' because we are spraying with Paris green. If we could only get our fartherto spray .more we would h,ave better fruit crops" The fair-mindedness of our English con- temporaries and the diffusion of scientific knowledge in England leads us to believe that the refutation will have as wide a circulation as the false cry. 40- . Colors and the Eye of Man. • Science gives us many interesting details about what the human eye has been and what it may become. The most ancient written documents attest that in times neat remote only two colors were known, black and red. A very long time elapsed before the eye could perceive yellow, and a. still longer time beforegreentould be distinguish ed. It is remarkable that in the most ancient languages the term usedei te desig- naie yellow insensibly passed to the signi- fication of green. The Greeks had, according to .the generally received opinion' the color faculty i very highly developedand yet authors of the highest repute tell us that in the time of Alexander the Great, the Greek painters knew but four colons, : white black, red and yellow. The ancients Aud. no words to designate the colors -of bltie and violet, therefore they always referred to them as gray and blaek. It is thus that the colors of the rainbowwere only distin- guished gradually; thegreatAristotle ing only four of them. It s a well-known fact that when the colors of the prism are photograpbed there remains outside the limit of the blue and the violet (in the spec- trum) a distinct impression which our eyes, do not recaps.* as a .color.

"Church Bells:" (England) has the foI- lowitig The hest answer we have yet seen to Professor 11.exley in his attempt to sbew ehat the order of creative events, as releted inoGen•esis, does not correspond with that 13,1d down by science, is contained in an • admirable detterwritten a few days ago, by the Rey_ lleaWrilew Maitland, who says: "'The inspired cosmogony, winch is ideal and poetre, and the- scientific cosmogony, which is actoalandpoosaac, need not have any relatica or correspondence with each other. Iniegine the inspired seer hymning the crea- tion according to his mental conception of its order, and the structure of Genesis 1. is the natural result. First, the light breaking forth orr the dark chaos, whereby tbe devel- opment becomes ; next, the division of the lower waters from the upper, and of the land fromthe water, to provide ;he floor for the emerging world, and the roofing it over, with the firmament. Then the clothing of the floor with all kinds of vege- tation and the appointment of the heaven- ly --bodies to rule the seasons, on which seed -time and harvest depend. Then the peopling of the scene with animal inhabi- tants; first, with the denizens of the water, as the most remote from contact with man; nextgwith the -fowls of the air, as somewhat nearer to him, breathing the same element; and, lastly, with the tribes of the hand, as closest to him, treading the same soil. And when all is :thus prepared, man is placed ID possession as lord of all. There is the order Of the poetic conception as the seer pictures, the scenic development from the gloom of chaos to the glory of the cosmos, built up, stage by stage, for the man fash- ioned in the Divine image. Why disturb this magnificent psalm by trying to force it inns. the mould of prosaic , science? Why indeed?
