DRiNK BiLLS COMPARED.
It 15 not known, says the Stratford
Beacon, by many pathmasters--iu fact
by mauy town ship oounoifors-that the
municipality, aceordiug to the present
Jaw, is 1iaele fqr an accident that may
happen on the road. This does not

but for the whole width of the thorough.
faro, wbich is generally 66 feet, As it is
now, every person who meets with a
mishap on the highway -either through
his carelessness or that of another eau
bring suit against a township and stand
a favorable chance of ,recovering da-
mage, it being well euown that in litiga-
tion between a private iudivtdual and a
corporation the sympathies of the jury
are generally with the individual, The
Ontario good roads' association at its
recent meeting in Toronto had several
iustances brought to its attention, where
under the existing law corporations had
to pay considerable damages where they
were not at fault, and where tine mishap
was caused by gross carelessness on the
part of the driver. This is certainly a
hardship. It is reasouable that muni-
cipalities ehould be held responsible for
damages when the defect is due to the
townships' action, or to contributory
negligence on the part of its officers,
but these ought to be clearly shown be-
fore damages are recoverable. The re-
sponsibility of the pathmaster is great
and it is his busiuess, in the interests of
the township to see that his road divis-
ion is kept in repair at all times. A
dangerous spot should be attended to at
ouce, put in proper shape and then re-
ported to the council. It has been sug-
gested that the law be changed so that a
municipality be liable only for that part
of the road between the ditches and then
only when the road is out of repair and
the corporation is to blame. Some
amendments to the existing law have
been asked, and Premier Whitney has
promised to decide upon these at an
early date. As it is now, says the
Brantford Expositor, all persons using
the highway are practically insured
against accident, whether they be drunk
or sober, careiesh or careful, negligent or
watchful, and it would seem to be a fair
request that the contention of the roads'
association should be seriously considered
-that is the municipality be held re-
sponsible for only that portion of the
thoroughfare between the ditches and
in cases where it is shown that the cor-
poration or its officers, is responsible for
neglect or lack or vigilance in not re-
moving obatruotioes or keeping the
roadway in a fit and proper state for
travel.
The statement which the American
Grocer prepares annually regarding the
"nation's drink bill" is always Interest-
ing, remarks the New York Post, be-
cause its figures represent, perhaps as
nearly as it is possible to estimate, the
amount of money actually taken out of
the pockets of the consumer. For in-
stance, instead of figuring the year's con•
sumption of whiskey at the price which
it brings by the gallon, each gallon is
considered as famishing sixty "drinks,"
and the average price is reckoned at 71
cents, a figure mneh nearer the eharge
for the lowest grades in the vilest grog-
gories than that of a hotel or high-grade
bar, If these figurgs are in error, it is
probably on the side of understatement,
yet as they stand they show a larger ex-
penditure for "stimulants," both alco-
holic and non-alcoholic, both absolutely
and relatively to the population in the
year ending with last June, than in any
other for which the records are access-
ible.
The total estimated retail cost of stim-
ulants for 1903.4 is placed at $1,498,622,-

expenditures of the Federal Govern.

If the comparison be made by gallons,

GETTING INFORMATION OUT OF
PA,
My pa, be didn't go down town
Last evening after tea,
But got a book and settled down
As comf'y as could be.
I'll tell you I was offal glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things I had
Been trying to find out.
And so I asked him why the world
Is round, instead of square,
And why the piegies tails are curled
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit a star,
And why the dark is black,
And jest how many birds there are,
And will the Wind come back?
And why does water stay in wells,
And why do June bugs ham,
And what's the roar I hear in shells,
And when will Christmas come?
And why the grass is always green,
Instead of sometimes bine?
And why a beau will grow a bean,
And not an apple too?
And why a horse can't learn to moo,
And why a cow can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew, ,„
And what makes hair grow grey?
And then my pe got up an', Gee!
The angry words he said.
I hadn't done a thing, bat he
Jost sent me right to bed.

MARSHAL NEY'S DEATH.-.„-
'L'iae Rea>f,cat$c End of the Brave
French Soldier,
Ney refused naturally to place him-
self on his knees and to allow* his
eyes to be bandaged, Ile only asked
Commandant Saint -Mae to show titin
where he was to stand. Ile faced the
platoon, which held their muskets et
"the recover," and thea, in an attitude
which I shall never forget, so noble
was it, eaten and dignified, without any
swagger, he took off hie hat, and, prof-,
Ring by the short Moment which was
caused by the adjudant de place hay-
ing to place himself on one side and tat
give the signal for firing, be pronounced
these few words, which I heard very
distinctly, "1e renehmen, I protest against
my sentence, my boner"- At these last ;
words, as he was placing his hand etc •
his heart, the detonation was beard.
He fell as if struck by lightning. JI,
roll of the drums and the eries of "'Vlve
le roll" by the troops formed in aquare
brought to a close this lugubrious cere-
mony,
This fine death made a great lin-
pression on me. Turning to Augustusde la Itochejaquelin, colonel of the
grenadiers, who was by my side and
who deplored, like myself, the death
of the brave dee braves, I said to him.

It Is Something More Than a, Le -re of
Pretty- Trifles,
Even in its modern form when orna-
ment has been left almost wholly to
women it is something more than a
love of pretty trifles. On the persons
of the female members of his family
the pian loves to see the display of the
wealth which in these days is power,.
and, if modern taste will not allow it
in himself, it Is still Indulgent to his
vicarious display of it through Ida
women. So far as women themselves
consciously aid and abet in this asser-
tion of power, so far they may claim
to be acquitted from the charge of
sheer vanity. Women of families who:
have become recently rich love most;
to display their jewelry, and it may be
there is not so much vanity as asser-
tion in it of their claim in virtue of
wealth to be respected and honored.,
Those women who have undisputed' r
claims to distinction exercise more die-
cretien, and their chief displays are en
those occasions when it is congruous'
to emphasize their social power and In-,
fluence. Thus to the end We have the,
close connection between ornan)t:ntanel

FIGHTING OXEN.
The IIottentott, Trained Cattle to
Mare* Riderless Into Battle,
When the Dutch first settled at the'
Cape they found that the original .Hot-
tentots owned large • herds - of cattle,
which they regularly rode and trained'
to net as guardians of their other cat-
tle
attle and their camps. So admirably were.
these animals trained that they used
to charge before the tribesmen in bat-
tle, apparently without riders, though
there may have been mounted leaders.
An old writer named Kolben sage:t
Every Hottentot army is provided
with a large troop of these war oxen,
which permit themselves to be govern-
ed without trouble and which their
leaders let loose at the appointed mer,
ment. The instant they are set free
they throw themselves with impetuos-
ity upon the opposite army. They
strike with their horns, they kick, they
rip up and trample beneath their feet;
all that opposes them. They plunge!
with fury Into the midst of the ranks
and thus prepare yen easy victory. The
manner in which these oxen are train-,
ed and disciplined certainly does great
honor to the talent of this people."
The Difference.
A delegate from Boston to an educa-
tional conference in Philadelphia told'
of the answer given by a certain pupil(
in one of the public schools of the Hub
in answer to a question put by a pro-
fessor of natural history.
The question was, "What is the dif-
ference .between a biped and a quadru-
ped?"
The pupil's answer was, "A biped has
two Iegs, a quadruped bas four lege;
therefore the difference between a bi-
ped and a quadruped is two legs." --

was the reply, "I am a lunatic, and

He was right; be was a lunatic, and his
