Evidently the question of re- ciprocity with Canada must soon be decided definitely one way or the other. For years the pres- sure iu this country for better trade relations with Canada has been growing stronger, and until lately the only opposition came from individual,, who were grind- ing their axes at public expense, and didn't care to lose the private snap they had in the tariff. The McKinley bill, however, proposes in the alleged interest of American farmers to heavily in.:rease the duties on certain articles imported from Canada and still further bur- den and cripple trade with that country. Already the Can- adian Government is taking into consideration certain measures of r•etaliatioo, and consideeing how, if the United States excludes the brewers' barley and hops, Cana- dian eggs, ete., the Government of Canada can hit back and is turn shut out pork, beef, corn, etc., which the Canadians arc baying from the United States in steadily increasing quantities. Thus the issue is being raised between 3om- mor•cial union and a war of tariffs. The one can be only an injury and the other a benefit to both coun- tries. There is no more reason why tariff walls should be kept up along the Canadian border than wny Illinois should be shut out from the advantages of free commerce with New York and Louisiana. The idea that higher duties on Canadian products will be a benefit to farmers • or• ma❑u - facturers in the United States is absurd. It takes two to make a bargain that is perfected for the sale of Canadian produce in the United States, or vice versa, and in neither case can a blow be struck at the producer in one country without hitting also the consumer in the other. The line between the two countries for most of the distance is imaginary only. They are not divided by oceans, ranges of mountains, or distinctions of races, but are neighbors in every sense, and should be on neighborly terms. Tinder such circumstances the Chinese principle of non -inter- course is not applicable.—Chicago Tribune. If we follow Christ, we must shake off the baser objects of earthly desire as nothing better than the dust which gathers upon the Gere -clothes of mortality. so Christ taught us and so he lived. -.- 1 TEMPERANCE NOTES. A temperance refreshment bar has been opened at the main en- trance to the Police Court build- ing, Liverpool, for the conveni- ence of persons attending the court. it is already a pronounced success. The resources of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union's coffee house at Bloomington, Ill., are illustrated by the fact that it :has undertaken the contract to provide for 200 gusets a day during the prohibition convention soon to be held there. About 430 soldiers, inmates of the Soldiers' Home and prisoners in the Military Prison at Leaven- worth, Kan, have signed . the pledge of the Woman's Christian Temperance union as a result of the work of the State superin- tendent of work among soldiers. Canon Wilberforce has recently returned to England from a tour of some months' duration in India, the object of which was to study the drink and opium questions. A meeting ot welcome is to be Feld at Southampton, at which Sir Wilfred Lawson, Bart., M.P., and W. S. Caine, I.P., will be the chief speakers. The progressive young wemeu of New Zealand have a Young Woman's Christian Temperance Union, two years old, that has al- ready made a success of several lines of work. They do hospital visiting and flower mission work, conduct singing, sewing and cook- ing classes, organize juvenile tem- perance societies, and interest themselves in bringing up to a higher standard the general fife surrounding them. They have a national banner bearing the in- scription : Our daughters shall be as corner stones, polished afterC the similitude of a palace,'to which is added a spray of New Zealand mistletoe—the society emblem -- meaning purity, modesty,strergth and tenacity. MEN BUYING BONNETS. The Chicago Tribune says: A Wabash avenue saleswoman in a millinery store: I have been brought i.p in this business, and I never before knew of so many men buying hats and bonnets for women as there is this season. I call remember when a man would have no more thought of coming' into a place like this except as a looker-on, than a woman would think of going into a saloon. But for the last few seasons men have taken it into their head to do much of the buying for their wives, sisters or sweethearts. And I must say I like the change. The average man can pick out a be- coming hat or bonnet for a woman and not look over one-third of the store. As a general thing, a man knows better than a woman what is beat suited for her. Very few hats or bonnets selected by men are ever returned. One of the most prominent lawyers in Obicigo used to be a judge— drove up in his carriage the other ••-day and brought in his wife's old bonnet, and gave iilsirttction as to h9w it should be trimmed. And I must say he had excellent taste. I was over to Paris a few weeks ago, and I found men doing a good deal of shopping in this line of goods. CATARRH, A LAVA WHIRLPOOL. A party who have been explor- ing the crater or lava beds about twenty miles southwest of Albu- querque have returned, and vouch for the truthfulness of a story re- lated by J. A. Beaton and R. W. Loudon. These two gentleman stated that on their way to the Malpass they met a Mexican wbo volunteered for a few dollars to go and show then? what he knew about the crater. As a general thing the Mexicans are superstitious and shun the vicinity of the lava beds, bat this man agreed to go. He piloted the Albuquerqueans to a cave on the highest point,through cracks in the Noor of which a warm vapor ascended. Viewing the surroundings for a few seconds the men were startled by a low, rumbling sound, like distant thunder, and the lava beneath their feet trembled. The Mexican fled immediately to the open air,but before the gen tlemen could realize it a portion of the bottom of the cave fell, and they with it,into intense darkness. Neither were injured, but the ground upon which they fell seemed to sway to and fro. Fort- unately one of the party had a candle and some matches, and atter innumerable attempts to light it the candle was made to burn. When light was obtained a lake of water, black as pitch, lay at their feet,while the opposite shore appeared to be moving from right to left. It seemed they had land- ed on a floating island or a huge mass of lava which has probably been eddying around in this strange whirlpool for centuries. The Mexican soon returned to the mouth of the cave, and lowering lariats, by the aid of their horses pulled the imprisoned explorers out of their bondage and to the surface once more. Another party is being organized and will visit the crater, W J 4I a.A+rA'.h7= IIIS .A Or kk71;-. . We can remember no invented tale that speaks so to4be heart at once of the cruelty of life and the beauty of human compassion, as the true story closed by a sentence in the newspapers, announcing that Joseph Merrick, the "Ele- phant Man," was dead. Imagine a human soul clothed in a body so unspeakably frightful; who hard- ly dared to venture abroad even by night; who finding his fellow creatures run from him,grew teri- fied by the terrors he created, and shuddered in dark corners like a haunted beast. Imagine hirin driven by starvation to accept a showman's offer and be exhibited to the most brutal of audiences. Early in 1886, Mr Frederick Treves, one of the surgeons of the London Hospital, found :derrick in a penny show, in a room of the Whitechapel road, crouching be- hind an old curtain and trying to warm himself over a brick that was heated by a gas jet. Mr Treves went up to him not only without fear or loathing,but with sympathy. For the first time in his life of 24 years Merrick heard a kind word and was spoken to like a man. The effect was cur- ious. It made him afraid at first. He shrank as an ordinary man would from something uncanny. Then as he began to realize the truth; he broke into sobs of grati- tude. Days and even weeks pass. ed, however, before be recovered from the shock of hearing a com- passionate word. The police prohibited his show on the ground of public decency. So he went to Belgium, where again the police interfered, and where an agent decamped with his money. Merrick was left desti- tute and starving in the streets of a foreign town, where the ignor- ant men thought him a fiend. He came back to London—how no one quite knows. At every station and landing place crowds dogged him. But he came back to London,because in London liv- ed the only man who ever gave him a kind word. He made his way to the London huspital,found Mr Treves, who had him lodged for a time in an attic in the hos- pital, and determined to find a permanent shelter for him. But now it was found that no institution would receive him.— The Royal hospital for incurablas and the British home for incur- ables alike declined to take him in unless sufficient funds were forthcoming to pay for his main- tenance for life. He himself beg- ged that he might be placed in a blind hospital. It :s hard to match the pathos of this plea. Then in November, 1886, Mr Carr Gomrn, wrote to the Times asking help for this case, and the British public responded. A room was built for Merrick on the ground floor irk a remote wing of the hospital, and there, surround- ed with books, flowers, and a hun- dred tokens of the kindness that is really quick in the public heart he has lived until the middle of April. He had found many friends— the Prince and Princess of Wales, Mr Gladstone, Mrs Kendall :,nal others. To Mrs Kendall is due the happy suggestion that Merrick should be taken to see the Christ- mas Pantomime at Drury Lane. She engaged the royal box; she had him brought to the theatre: and took precautions that no strange eye should see hien. Hid- den from the house, behind the curtains of the box, the "Elephant Man" tasted an hour or two of in toxicating happiness: It was all real to him --the fairies, the splen- dor, and the jewels. .M-rtiek5 ifs„§.pito of his hideous exterior and terrible experiences, was in his way a gentle sentiment- alist, and gushed forth at times under the happy conditions of his life at the hospital in verse, mod• elled on the hynms of Dr Watts, in which he gave utterance of feel- ings of gratitude, the sincerity of whicn none ever questioned. It was a tender heart that was beat- ing beneath a mask more hideous than that of Orson. Above all, it was a heart that was filled with love for the man who was literal- ly his saviour, who first spoke kindly to him, who rescued him from a fate a thousand times worse than death, and to the end was both his doctor and friend.

In a vigorous and stai•lltng ar- ticle, which appeared some time since from the pen of Margaret F. Stewart in the Herald and Pres- byter, occurs the following burn- ing passage:—"A few years ago, in a lonely hut in Central Africa, a worn-out man died upon his knees, praying in the fervor of a consecrated, loyal soul, "Oh, let Thy kingdom comet" He had op• ened, he thought, tho great dark continent to the onward march of Chi istian civilization and the light of God's truth.

The maple sugar Crop of Ver- mont this year amounts to about 5,000,000 lbs., much below the usual quantity. Seventy car -loads of. Oranges left Los Angeles, Ca]., for the east by special trains Saturday. Railway agents estimate that there are 500 car -loads ',et re- maining to be shipped. Fodder and Turnips are both very plentiful: in fact, some stack - yards look as if the bulk had not been long broken, and every- where straw is abundant, while of hay it may be said it is sup- erabundant. The demand for it all year has been of the most languid character, and now those who hold any considerable quant- ity are not able to turn it into cash. Almost every arable farm- er has as many turnips as he is able to cousume,while some will be unable to use them all up before the land must be ploughed and lose their fresh, nourishing quali- ties. It is said that in Yorkshire and other counties they are being ploughed down in immense gaun- tities for manure. If the other work and the con- dition of the ground will admit manure can be hauled out until time to plant corn. This is es- pecially the ease with land that is to be planted to corn. It is true that the first crop will not be able to derive anything like the full benefit of the application, and especially if the manure is not well rotted ; yet there is always more or less of it that is soluble, and will be of benefit to the grow- ing crops. And the worloot' pre- paring the soil, planting and cul- tivating will incorporate with the soil, and it will be rotting; and the different elements acting upon it will make it soluble, and the soluble parte will be taken up by the soil, ready to be used by -the succeeding crops. If the ground has been ploughed in the fall, all the better. PREPARED ONLY Dl He intends to go out of the Crockery and Glassware line entirely, H.
