There is a French proverb, which, translated, says " So many men, so many minds," and one might add, so many WW1, - Whether a person's choice of a house. q'ld pet gives any indication of the 'character, or not, is a question. Take the,,,oase of a person whose particular retis a monkey (this is not a freak of imagination). A Darwinian might see in this more than charaoter—signs. The person in question mast admire some of the rednkey's qualities; in fact •' -he has for it a fellow-feeling—there is something in common between them. a sInw let us note some of the other diets. There are birds, cats and dogs of all" sizes and desoription. We might end also ehiokens, lambs, mine, frogs, ; Vacations, and sometimes even children. f3tit the kind :most fashionable in the ppresent daps ;div:,; the pug, is almost a tinct species. True, , in form, it re- nemlilea- the dog, but its qualities are a conglomeration of the common every tray dog's bad points, with a large leav- '`ening of stupidity. No doubt the pug was made for some purpose --even the rattlesnake was—but it certainly was ,not created for the purpose of filling the position of a human being, and yet, ;loolt:at-tbe.etate of "society" (as regards pugs) to -day. How far can ono travel these days without seeing a pug carried earefully in the, arms of some woman .whom, froth her appearance and appa- 'ent age, one would expect to be pdssess- •ed of some sense ? Only the other day, Irbile going to the city, I noticed a case „of this kind -a pug -laden lady traVell- ing with an elderly person, possibly her mother. The latter received little at- tention, -the pughad precedence. It was one of the ugliest specimens of its =snugly race, but -that mattered not. Pro- k,;bably a pug's beauty consists in its ,nglinees. The passengers were all en- tertainetl by the conversation (one-sided o1 course) between the pug and its owner. "Where are you going, Beauty?" ans- wered by a sniff at her face, and a look of .great (?) intelligence. "You were a good doggie,weren't you ?" "Sit down, ,Beanty dear; here's something to play with," etc. Fancy a woman of limited income spending $80 for the purchase of a piece of such dog flesh ! How much more good would she have donerto hu- manity—and herself—had she spent the money on some of the many poor little waifs• of our cities and towns, giving them 'the much needed clothing, or an .opportunity to escape from their vile surroundings, and breathe pure country air for a time! An outing which would .•give them for life a pleasant recollection. '',And then 'the pug must be fed on dainty .:food. It must be wrapped in perfume blankets. It must have its little har- ness or chain, forsooth. And this in an age when we men hear everywhere dia- • ';oussions on "wpman's right to stand on 'the same intellectual plane as man." What men would yon find spending a quarter of a dollar on a yard of ribbon for "little Beauty's" neck ? I grant you he may squander many quarters on himself, but he can appreciate the extravagance; the pug cannot. How can we be expected to admire and respect the many women who lav- ish their affection on a pug? .&onosxci 7 SMITH. • The Toronto fair would lose much of its attraction were the Hamilton exhibits withdrawn. In the stove. fruit and other sec- tions, the Ambitions City leads the way, and in ladies fancy and other Work it is away up. Among the many pretty things shown among the latter the quilt exhibited by Mrs. J. G. Buchanan, wife of the city editor of the Times, is per- haps the most attractive. It is composed entirely of press badges deftly sewed into a quilt, and is described by Hamiltonians who . have visited the fair as a rare spb0imen of ingenuity and need- lewtirk. The Toronto World says of it : Mrs. J. G. Buchanan; of ' Hamilton, has a quilt of a very novel pattern on exhibition. Of all the quilts displayed it attracts by far the most attention on ac- count of the originality of the de- sign and the careful workmanship. FETTER AND BETTER.

Its chief peculiar. ity- is the habit of changing its colors during the day In the morning it is white, when the sun is at its zenith it is red, and at night it is blue. The red, white and blue flower: grows on a tree about the size of a ggava tree, and only at noon does it give out any perfume. A flower has been discovered in South America which is only vis- ible when the wind blows. The shrub belongs to the cactus fam- ily, and is about three feet high. The atom is covered with dead, warty looking lumps in calm weather:; these lumps, however, need but a slight breeze to make them unfold large flowers of a creamy white, which close and appear as dead as soon as the wind subsides. The fashionable enthusisam of the hour is a new perfume from a marvellous lily that grows in African jungles. Mr Stanley found this flower, and brought back a large jar of its leaves to his bride -elect. Mr Stanley says that the natives call this flower Kanonga, and that botanists call it Anona oderatisima. Those who have caught a whiff ofits won- derful perfume say that it is a mixture of jasamine, liliac, lily of the valley and rose, and is alto- gether intoxicating. - The smallest flowering plant in existence is wolffia microscopia, a native of India. It belongs to the duckweed family. It is al- most microscopic in size, destitute of the proper stem, leaves and roots, but having these organs merged in one, forming a frond. There are two species of the genus found growing wild in the Eastern United 'tater. One of them wolffia co ' 11 biana, is about one - twenty -fifth of an inch in diamet- er, and the otber,wolffia brazilien, is somewhat smaller in size. Tho manufacture of the little Swedish matches which are sold everywhere so cheaply forms one of the greatest industries of Swed- en. Some idea of the extent to which these matches are sent abroad may be inferred from the fact that 6404 tons were exported during tho first six months of this year. An Episcopal church at Hamil- ton has reduced the salary of its minister to $1 a year, because the congregation wish him to leave, but the Bishop desires him to re- main—hehce they are at logger- heads. Is it any wonder there are so many unbelievers ins the world, when professing Chris- tians—not only in this but in many other instances and other churches as well—get so far away from true Christian .principles.

The parents, whose name is Mat- thews, were on their way from New York State, where they had been visiting, to their home in Dublin. The child had been ailing about a week previous. Burglars armed with axes broke into the residence of Noble Tuf- ford, a farmer living 15 miles from St Thomas, Thursday morn ing. They took $50 from bis pants pocket. V4 hen chased one of the burglars fired an axe .through the window -at the in- mates. Samuel Osborne, a respected farmer near Carrolton, south of Brandon, met with an untimely death on Monday evening last. It appears he was driving a bind- er, when his horses took fright and he got entangled in the ma- chine, the knife severing one reg at the knee. Deceased only sur- vived the accident a few hours. The dead body of John Barring ton, farmer, of Templeton, was found lying on the roadway be- tween Waterloo village and Templeton. Thursday morning. The exact manner in which Har- rington mot his death cannot be ascertained. Deceased was " 47 years of age, and the sole support of his widowed mother. He was a bachelor. The general opinion of his friends is that his team bolt- ed and he was thrown'off. A ver- dict of accidental death was re- turned. The death is announced of Wal- ter, second eldest son of Mr Saul, of Mitchell. Dakota, grandson of ,Mrs R Saul, of Strathroy. From the information gleaned from a private letter it is learned that Walter, after a six years absence from home, had returned for a holiday, anti removing a gun from his buggy on the 1st inst., the weapon discharged, the charge lodging in the right side of his 1 head. Among the miracles asserted to be authentic as resulting from the exhibition of the Holy Coat at Treves are the curing of the withered arm of an abbess, the restoring of the sight of blind per- sons and the curing of cripples. Each case is declared to be sup- ported by medical testimony, but the details will not be published until the exhibiton of the relic is finished. Awl so it turned out that the cry of 'Yankee gold' raised by the Conservative heelers against the Canadian Reform,-' at the last election was merely :t scheme to disguise the fact that t is Chap - loan committees in Montreal had secured supplies of the aforesaid 'Yanked gold' from the New York firms whose presses were purcbas-.. ed for the government bureau.

One of the strangest of mal- forrned human creatures has ar- rived at the barge office, New York. He is the son ofa Hun- garian named John Ginsler, an immigrant, who arrived with his wife and five children yesterday. , The boy's head is remarkably like that of' a monkey, having all the peculiarities of that animal, of teeth, nose, oyes, hair, etc. Ile is said to bo 10 years old, but his body is no largos than a child of 0, with short arms and extremely long. legs. The boy is absolutely, without intelligence ,tihd chatters The last act in conneetion with the Central Bank liquidation was performed on Tuesday, when the assets of the defunct institution, amounting nominally to nearly a million dollars, were sold for $45- 000. This enables the liquidators to -pay an additional 24 per cent., making a total dividend of ninety- nine and one-third cents on the dollar. Mr David Ferguson, of Napier, was severly injured the other morning by his bull. It appears he was out in the field where the animal was, when the animal made a rush at Mr F., pitching him several feet into the air, and after his descent began attacking him again. The man's cries at- tracted the attention of one of his neighbors who came at once to his assistane, thus, no doubt sav- ing Mr F's life. The majority report of the Cochrane Committee presented to Parliament on Tuesday exonerates Mr Cochrane M. P., from comp plicity • in selling Government offices, holding that bis connection with the a::o.ea has not been pro- ui.nu; it report ve,l. They po con- tends that 1;,0 Conservative organ- izers of the riding would not have negotiated these sales if they had not been inspired by Mr.Cochrane, and contend that the charges have been proven. Sooner or later political rascals must come to grief. Time is not on their side. The future does not belong to them, and why should good men in the Govern- ment try to conceal truths that might hurt unworthy colleagues? If the truth can hurt Coapleau or Langevin they deserve to be butt.
