Ilonigsberg, July 25.-Ae yesterday's

began the trial of the seven Scold
Deniocrats accused at the instance of the

pamphlets in question appealed to the

summon Mayor Peekoffe of Sofia, a, form-

PRACTIOnL SURVEY.
In our review of the rapid decline of
Israel to the culmination in its utter de -
carnation we pause at the chapter head-
ed "Oznri and Ahab" for a glimpse of
the rebellious nation. What pictures do
these names bring before our eyes -pic-
tures of moral degradation, pictures of
eruelty, pictures of extreme stupidity!
Like danger signals God has set the
story of these two kings in the records

From the orthodox Jewish families
who had revolted wider Jeroboam has
now sprung a generation of idolaters.
It may have been 'broad-minded" for
Orrai to recognize the good in all relb

atry and to rear in his home suck a

Ahab were cruel to those who stooa in
the way of their ambition. Idolatry
further 'degrades the morale of its vic-
tims. Selfishness and the sensuous in-
fluences of Ashtoreth base brought
down to mond degradation both theee

Enquiry Shows They Were Imposed
Upon by Employment Agent
Montreal, July 26. -At the enquiry
into the excessive Italian immigration
to this city last spring, Judge Win-
chester to -day read a letter that had
been seized at the office of Antonio
Cordasco, Italian labor agent, end
which caused quite a, sensation. It was
dated at Montreal, March 19th, address-
ed to Antonio Panetti, Udine, Italy,
and signed Antonio Cordasco, per A.
Gann. This letter stated that at the end
of that month there would be opened
up in Canada important works, apd
he must supply about 10,000 laborers.
These men could be sent without fear,
became they could get immediate
work at $1.50. Other evidence of an
unflattering nature was heard against
Cordaseo. Ire had acted as labor agent
for the C. P. R., and George Burne,
special agent of the company, said that
he (Cordasco) had been paid $5 a day to
drum up the Italians.
Cordasco bad acted as caterer. The
judge showed that in that capacity he
had made excessive ptofits, and had as
well ebrirged the men from one to ten
dollars each for getting jobs for them.
In view of that 'Mr. Burns saki that
Cordaeco's pay would be withheld
pending consideration of the matter,
and then the judge asked if any re-

to buy liberally. The conditions of trade
at Montreal are -sound and the outlook
for the fall is encouraging.
Toronto wholesale trade is pretty well
distributed. Fall orders booked so far
are satisfactory. Values of staple goods
are firm. Wool is dearer. The demand
from the domestic mills, too, is better,
owing to the scarcity of the local sup-
plies and the higher prices. Remittances
are not specailly good at the moment.

cal industries are moderately active.
At Winnipeg there is a fair amount
of activity in wholesale tootle circles.

Cordasco a dollar per head, but it wag

HATCHED OUT DUCKLINGS.
Did Not ,Eat a Morsel After the, Duck
• Eggs Were Broken.
St.. Catharnies, July 25.-A decidedly
peculiar circumstance is related in con-
nection with the poultdy raising opera-
tions of Sidewalk Oontraotor Thomas
W. Jones, of this city. One of his Ply-
mouth Rook hens hatched out four duck-
lings about six weeks ago. It was noticed
that the hews countenance wore a some-
what surprising expression when she
first gazed upon the web-footed brood,
but she cared for them with maternal
instinct and scratched gravel for them
as if they were her own progeny, but
the heifs appetite failed, and the look of
surprise grew into one of disgust as the
ducklingsgrew and were giverr a an
i
of water n which to disport themselves.
Still the hen would not eat, in fact was
never known to eat a morsel from the
time the duck eggshells were 'broken.
The strain was too much, and the other
day, with a last look at her charge, the
hen toppled over and died, undoubtedly
from a broken heart

with the arrival cif the steamer Lake

time of it in the performance of their
duty, and fully one-half of the passen-

count of being affected with trachoma.
There were nutoy pathetic scenes con-
nected with the inspeckion. One old WO..
man was allowed to go free, while her
children were detained. Children were
separated from 'their parents, and sis-
tere from their brothers for the same
cause, but the medical inspectors were
obdurate in the performance of their
duties. They were under instructions to
stop all incurable cases from landing
