EDITORIAL NOTES.
An Australian in Ohio claims to
have a machine by which he can
bring Lain over 7000 square miles.
He named a day on which to do so.
And, sure enough, the rain did fall.
Whether it was through his machine
or a mere coincidence further ex-
periments will decide. But as the
wet season is approaching a machine
will soon be required to prevent
rain falls.
Rev. Dr. Briggs, the Presbyterian
theologiau whose views are much
commented on at the present, says of
a "middle state" hereafter :—"It
banilthes from the mind the terror
of a judgment immediately after
death, and the illusion of a magical
transformation in the dying hour,
and it presents in their stead a
heavenly university, a scleool of
grace, an advance iu sanctity and
glory in the presence of the Messiah
and the saintly dead, which is a
a blessed hope to the living and a
consolation to the suffering and dy-
ing.
CURRENT TOPICS.
FRUITS OF FOSTERISM.
The 'Toronto hotelkeepers have
been considering a proposition to
raise the price of whisky to ten cents
a glass, and to lessen the quantity
of beer given for five cents. A gen-
eral meeting will be held this after-
noon at which itis expected the above
will be ratified, to go into effect im-
mediately. This interesting subject
was liberally discussed, round town
yesterday, and the opinion was free•
y expressed, even by frequenters
of the bar, that the increased price
would go a long way in encourage-
ing (or rather enforcing) temperance
principles. One party was heard to
remark: "They will soon have us
down to the level of the brute
beasts—drinking water." The pro-
prietor of a down -town saloon was
seen by a reporter as to what effect
the advance in price•of drinks would
have on his business. He stated
that if an arrangement could be
made whereby the price of whisky,
brandy, etc., was raised to ten cents
a drink the hotel and saloon keepers
would be perfectly satisfied. They
could then sell the best unadulter-
ated liquors, and while they would
not haedle as much their expenses
would be less and the advance in
price would discourage, very largely,
drinking and treating among the
poorer classes. As it is now the li-
quor sold by some dealers is unfit
for any man to drink, and this ac.
counts in some measure for so much
drunkenness. A large proportiou
of the working classes drink beer al-
most exclusively, but if the liquor
men can succeed in having beer
made lighter, that is with less alco-
hol in it, and ten cents a drink for
other beverages, it would be found
that there would not be half the
number of drunks in our police sta-
tions every night. He thought that
the temperance people should be
gratified at and cooperate in the
movement, as it was equal to the
high license eystem of many of the
American States.—Globe.

Doming down in torrents. I glanced
around in search of a shelter, but
the only cue was an awning (in

men under it. So I settled down

THE LARGEST SHIP.
Six thousand people witnessed
the launch of the ship Canada at
Kingsport, N. S. last Tuesday. She
is 175 feet long over al!, forty-five
feet beam, twenty-seven feet depth
of hold and 2,400 tons not, the
largest vessel ever built in Canada,
and costing $100,000. She is built
of spruce and pine, classed thirteen
years in French veritas and fourteen
years in American record, is charter-
ed to loaci,deals from St. John for
Liverpool at 37s. Gd., and will be
commanded by Capt. U. V. Monro,
formerly in command of the 1,200-
tou barque Belt, which netted her
owner $175,000 in thirteen years.
The Canada was built and is owned
by C. R. Burgess, of Wolfville and
Kingsport, and by Boston and New
York partners. The next largest
sailing ves el built and owned in
Canada is the Kings County, 2,225
tone, launched from the same yard
a year ago, and owned by the same
man. Mr. Burgess expresses the be-
lief that freights are about to im-
prove, arid says the idea that the
days of wooden shipbuilding are at
an end is all bosh. Wooden ships
will be a good investment for the
next thirty years. He claims to be
able to turn out as large and as fine
ships as can be built in any Now
England yard much more cheaply,
and asserts that the large vessels
being built by Americans fully justi-
fy his experiment in constructing
the Canada.
SNAP SHOTS AT THE DEVIL.

A BAD CLERGYMAN.
The sensational trial at Amherst,
N. S., of Rev. A 13. Staples, arrested
under the Charlton Act for the be-
trayal of a young woman, under
promise of marriage, ended in the
acquittal of the prisoner. Staples
was assistant pastor of the Amherst
Baptist Church, became engaged to
a parishioner and accomplished her
ruin. Instead of marrying her as
he promised and got a liceuse to do,
he skipped out of town and married
a dashing widow, to whom he was
also engaged. He wee found
secreted in his father's house and
arrested. Many nice law points
were involved and atter a trial
which created more interest than
was ever manifested in any older
trial in Cumberland, the prisoner
was discharged on the ground that
the prosecution had not proved hie
ago. Judge Morse addressed hien
as follows :
"You have escaped, in my judg-
ment, the penalty of the law, by
accident, but you have not escaped
either the rebuke of your own con-
science or that retribution which is
sure to follow you in the forts of
Nemesis. You entered this girl's
house under the • guise of relig.
ion and wronged her. You did not
give her your name as you were in
honor and manliness bound to do.
Yon will not escape from the re-
morse which you should feel. You
may go out from here, but retribu-
tion will dog your stops.
STORYETTES.
PETER'S FAITH.
Peter Sinclair, a native of the
parish of Sandwich, Orkney, was at
oue time a catechist appointed by
the Original Seceders to visit the
various islands in the county. On
one occasion he wished to get across
from the mainland to Shapinshay;
but it was late before he arrived at
the ferry, and poor Peter bad not
the wherewithal to bribe the boat-
man. Now Peter was a inan with
great faith, and the idea struck him
th-et he, like his namesake of old,
could get across by walking ou
water. He walked out into the
water till it rose to his waist, but
still he appeared to be sinking.
Looking around and seeing the
tails of his old surtout floating out
behind him, he ruefully exclaimed :
'Ah, Peter, Peter ; man, there's
mak faith in yer coat-tails than in
yer hail body l'
IIEIREDITARY INFIRMITY.
The Rev. Dr. Macgregor, minister
of St.. Cuthbert's. Edinburgh,
suffers from a halt in his gait, a
peculiarity inherited from his
father, One day, when the reverend
doctor was quite a young man, the
two were walking along Princess
street together, when, coming to a
path where the footway was narrow-
ed on account of some building
operations, his father stepped on
before him. As they were pro-
ceeding thus a sober -looking
countryman behind them, evident-
ly unaware of the relationship of
the pair, frowned once or twice at
the limping youth and shook hie
head at him reprovingly. Young
Jaynes was wondering what this
could mean when he was speedily
enlightened by the countryman giv-
ing him a smart box on the ear, at
the same time 'exclaiming :—Tek'
that, ye impideut young puppy!
You should be ashamed o' yersel'
for mimicking the auld gentleman's
infirmity. Ye'lI may be Laine
yersel' same day.' .

THE PARSON AND THE OLD LADY.
The rector of oue of the largest
parishes in the east of London, call-
ing oue day on au old woman whom
he had not seen at church for some
time, asked her if she had a Bible.
Dee you take use for a he ellen, sir,'
'that you ask me Ruch a question 1
cried out the old woman ; `moat
certainly I have one, and 1 never
allow a single day to pass without
reading a chapter or two in it.'
Then addressing a little boy, eight
or rliue year's old, who was playing
in a corner of the room, 'Go aura
fetch my Bible,' she said ; 'I want
to show it to the gentleman—you
know where it is don't you 1—in
the mahogany chest of drawers in
the bedroom.' The Bible was
brought down, carefully wrapped
up in a newspaper to preserve the
binding. and the old woman, open-
ing it at random, cried out—'Oh,
sir, how glad 1 am you spoke about
the Bible ! Here are my spectacles,
which I have been looking for these
six months.'
HE NEVER WORE THEM
The word pajama, which, we be-
lieve means some new-fangled name
for a new-fangled garment, seems to
o!d•fashioned people a most absurd
one, says a writer in the Boston
Courier. Perhaps because it is
so markedly foreign and un-
like English ; and it not infrequent•
ly happens that persons are found to
whom the word does not convey any
definite meaning.
Not long aince a young lady who
hand just 'come out,' and who is
shy to a degree almost painful, was
sitting at a dinner beside an elderly
man who was very hard of hearing.
The knowledge of her neighbor's in-
firmity added to the young lady's
diffidence in the matter of addres-
sing him, and as he said nothing to
here; they sat aide by side in silence
for almost the entire meal.
As the dessert appeared upon the
table, however, the lady made a
desperate attempt, determined that
she would not allow her shyness to
conquer her ; and, having cast about
for a theme of conversation, found
it in the fruit just before her.
'Do you like bananas !' she in-
quired of her neighbor, in as distinct
and audible a voice as she could
command.
The old gentleman turned upon
her a look of some surprise, not un-
mixed with a suspicion of disaps
proval at her question.
'I never wear them,' he said
laconically ;'tlee old•fashioned night-
shirt is good enough for me.'
Tice effect upon the young lady
may be imagined.
THEIR SIN FOUND THEM OUT.
During the session of the Metho-
dist conference, says the Washing•
ton correspondent of the Boston
Gazette, one of the ministers went
into a drug store about dusk on a
chilly evening end asked the propries
tor for a good, guild cigar, After
paying for it he added : 'Is them
any place around your store where
I can have a quiet smoke? Our
bishop has just been preaching
pretty sharply against the use of
tobacco, so 1 don't want to smoke
'round the house where I am stays
ing, nor out in the street, on account
of the bad example I might set.
But a wild cigay does rest one so !'
The druggist quite agreed with him
and said : 'Step behind my prescrip-
tion counter, sir ; you will l.e unseen
there.' Two minutes later another
good minister came into the store,
bought a mild cigar and asked if he
might permitted to smoke in the
store, because ; 'Our bishop has just
been preaching against smoking,' he
explained, almost in the exact words
of his predecessor. He was also
sent behind the prescription counter.

MAD BULL AND COWARDLY
MEN,
William Thoman, a bricklayer, of
217 Ossington avenue, Toronto, we s
gored by a bull belonging to John P.
Smith, a neighbor, on Saturday
afternoon, and the story of the af-
fair shows that Thoman received his
injuries through the rank cowardice
of the men he had just materally
obliged before the accident. Mr.
Thoman was going to work when be
noticed a couple of men trying to
drive a bull into a stable in Mr.
Smith's field, which lies but a few
doors from his own home. He saw
the men were in need of assistance
and at once jumped the fence.
The bull was a& last driven into the
stable and Thoman tied it in a stall.
But the beast broke the rope which
held it, and the men at once made
for the exterior of the building.
Thoman was the last to run, and be•
fore be could get outside the, others,
prompted by a worthy desire to
save their own skins, slammed the
door to and fastened it. 'rhe im-
prisoned roan had time to make his
escape if his cowardly companions
had not shut the door. Left alone
in the stable with the mad animal
he had a terrible fight for his lite,
and, after being badly lacerated, he
at length managed to crawl out of
an air hole about eight or nine inch-
es square. He was taken to the
hospital, where his condition is re-
garded as very serious. He is in-
jured in the abdomen and other
parts of the body.
SELLING PORK ALIVE OR
DEAD.
Canadian Stock and Farm Journal
The pratice of selling pork on
foot is not common in Ontario ; it
confined to a comparatively limited
number of places, and these are us-
ually in proximity to the towns
and cities. As with every other
question, there are two sides to it ;
but, generally speaking, the balance
of argument would seem to be in
favor of marketing pigs on foot.
When thus sold the labor of
slaughteriug is avoided, and this
means a considerable saving in time.
It is also a work that is not particu•
Iarl'y pleasant. In the winter sea-
son it is generally a cold job, and in
the summer season the time cannot
be spared for it. It is true that iu
both cases the pigs have to be taken
to the market, but the labor of con-
veying them alive is little, if any,
more than that of conveying thews
when dead.
Another strong argument in favor
of' selling them on foot is found in
the fact that when they are slaught-
ered and in this condition taken• to
the market, the seller is somewhat
at the mercy of the buyer. If there
happens to be a glut in the market,
the pork must be sold at a sacrifice
or taken home again. When the
sales are made on foot, the seller is
in a much better position to negot
late. If he is not able to sell to his
satisfaction at one time, he may be
able to do so at another ;-as, unless
his pigs are over fat, they will ni-
ftily pot on flesh for two or three
weekslong , until they g•►n,be d.ie
posoc of.:., _
The relative prices, living and
dead, may approximately be deter-
mined, but only approximately, as

AN EVERY DAY EXAMPLE.
AN EFFECT WHICH THE MCKINLEY RILL
HAS ON THE AMERICAN WORE-
•INGMEN.
George \V. Andrews, a traveling
salesman for a large horse, cattle and
poultry food -producing firm of Phila-
delphia, called at the Buffalo Cour-
ier office to present additional evi-
dences, if such were needed, of the.
effect the McKinley bill has on the
laboring man. His firm employs
about twenty traveling salesmen,and
all received notice yesterday of a re-
duction of 5 percent in commissions
on publicate orders. In explanation,
circular letters were issued to each,
reading as follows :
"We have been working at a dia-
advantage for nearly a year past, and
have suffered a loss of thousands of
dollars because of the increase cost
of maunfacturing products. Every
one of the imported ingredients we.
use has been raised in price, due
mainly, we think, to the revision or
the tariff. .Besides this we have been
compelled to pay more for tin cups+
and bags.',
A half-pint cup goes with each
package of food, and necessarily
there are many used, says Mr.
Andrew.
The latter shows, if anything, than
the McKinley bill strikes at the
heart of the laboring man. It was
not written for publication, but, on
the other hand, and naturally, in a.
smooth, conciliatory tone. The firm
is well,known, selling its products in
all parte of the country. Mr.
ndrews was not anxious to have.
the above facts published, but as a
laboring man, who personally felt the
injustice of the new tariff law, he
considered it an incumbent duty
that he owed bis fellows.
