NOTES AND COMMENTS:

—In order to realize the importance of Manito baasa flour-producing country it is to be said that flour was shipped in thet province for Ogilvie and Lake of Woods milling during one day last week to India, Australia, Japan, Iceland, China, Fiji Ielande, Newfoundland, Great Britain and Eastero Canada.

—Montres! Gazette: The men who love war rather than peace were too strong in the United States Senate for these who love peace rather than war. If the country were compelled to goto war it 18 very doubtfnl, however, if many of those who voted sgainst the ratification of the arbitra- tion treaty would be found in the battalions that go into the fight.

—TIt was represented as the cause of a recent dismissal at Ottawa that the official refused to consult a certain Jocal politician as to the purchase of certain stores; as it was shown in Parliament that the official 4 did try ts consult the politician reported to but that the latter refused to consult him unless he were paid for it. ‘Business is business, you know.”

—Avother Instance! The Ottawa Jour- nal took out of the custom Houee a few days ago a $5 book ordered from the United States—a volume pertaining to newepaper business—and paid one dollar duty, and remarks “that is the new Liber- al free-trade tariff of 20 per cent. on booke. Had the volume ER pre two aoe

the duty would have been six cents. That was the old Conservative N. P. tariff of 6 centaa pound on books.” What lighteners of taxation these Liberal are !

—President Kemp of the Canadian Manufsctures Association says truly that the reciprocial feature of the Fielding tariff does not really mean preferential trade with Great Britain and declares that it will not result in increasing our exports one penuy’s worth ; “for the only way we can increase them,” he maintains “is by cheaper inland communications towards the sea, by cheaper ocean freights, by cold storage facilities, and by diligently, pursu- ingthe course we have adopted of thoroughly informing oureelves as to the requiremeats of the British people.”

—The fellowing is tne judgment passed by the Paris Temps on Lord Salisbary : “Fie mind is one of the most masculine, hi; understanding one of the broadest, his reascn one of the clearest and most lumin- ous of his country and his age, while pas- sion has at times touched his lips with the living coal, and while his eloquence is nothivg less than doctrinaire. He bas too lofty « spirit and he is too right-minded to be the victim or theexploiter of those miserable party prejudices, those sectarian narrownesses which disturb the vision. His friendship for Mr, Gladstone, his great political tor, throws light upon one of the happy traits of his charac‘er.”

— In his recent valedictory to the news- paper business, Walter Nichol, the recent elever editor of the London, Ont., News emits the dreariest wail of the year. Mr. Niche) fails to see aspeck of blue sky apywhere. The whole vault of heaven is a funereal pall. The newspaper man ex- pends his breins and energy in making a great property for the owners and is him- self ca-t aside like a sucked orange when hia usefulness is gone. All the newspaper editor has gained inthe meantime has heen « decent living—no golden store for the futare. Consequently Mr. Nichol waebes his hands of the whole business. The Journal, of Ottawa, remarks that it is a mistake for any man to go into news- paper work ina comparatively new and thinly-populated country like Canada, unles« he has an invincible bent that way and feels he wont be happy at anything else. The reward for braine and bard work ir better in almost any other calling. This ia simply because Canada as yet only supports a very limited number of success- ful papers, and good positions are so scarce that good men have much better chances in other occupations.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES. Montreal Star: The “ won't-do-any- harm ” tariff 1s stirring up the manufac- turers mightily.

St. John Sun: It does not appear that the government is saving much money by its changes and shufflings in the civil ser- vice. For instance, there was acry made some days ago that a great saving had been effected by the dismissal and retire- ment of a number of clerks in the privy council office. Yet when the figures are made up, when allowances are made for the pew men that Mr. Laurier has taken into that department, when the new charges on the superannuation fund are considered, it appears that the country will pay just a hitle more than before.

purely business nature. The Legislature 18 properly a business committee charged with the unheroic but vastly important task of managing the affairs of the pro- vince. A discussion, then, of provincial policy, should be fuller of figures of finance than figures of speech, and while there is great need for light there is none for heat.

THE DINGLEY BILL.

The news from the states is to the eflect that the Dingly tariff, as revised by the Senate Committee, is exceedingly up popu- lar. The newspapers of the great cities generallly oppose it. The two leading journals of New York, supporting higo protection, were editorially silent on the morning after the publication of the report. The New York Times, Herald, World and Journal all criticize the meas- ure sharply on various gourds. They condemn in particular the imposition of the duty on hides, the surrender to the Sugar Trust in the sugar schedule, the duty on anthracite and the changes ip the woul schedule. As advocates of a revenue tariff they find mocking satisfac- tion in the resort of the Senate Committee to increase taxes on beer and tobacco, and in the levying of duty on tea to supply the income that protection will not yield. They commend these asa shifting to the Democratic position, and they approve the abandoning of the retroactive clause. The most significant editorial of all is that in the bitterly partisan Republican Press. In substance it iikens the Senate Com- mittee to the man that fell among thieves at Jericho and was stripped of his clothes and goods. It fiercely assails the abandon- ment of the modification of the provision for reciprocity, the abandonment of the retroactive clause, and the ad valorem tax in the sugar schedule,

HUDSON BAY EXPEDITION.

In the House of Commons a few days ago Hon. Mr. Davies announced that the Government had engaged the Newfound- land steamship Diana, 473 tons gross, 80 horse power. Commander Wakenam would have charge of the expedition while Mr. Whitely, of Newfoundland, would be sailing master. Admiral Markham could not join \he excursion, but recommended Captain Bourke of the royal navy, who had been invited to take his place. Mr. Fisher, M. P. P., of Manitoba, would go in the interest of his province. A party from the geological survey would go to assist in the exploration. A general dis— cussion followed Mr. Davies’ announce- ment, several members contending that 4s the expedition waa intended to discover whether Hudson straits were navigable for merchant sbips transporting grain, from the northweet the trial ship should be a large ship of the mercbant class.

He Bacxep His Creep. — The Si. Andrew’s, N. B., Beacon eaye: A mild sensation was created at the prayer meet- ing in the Methodiet chureh at St. Andrew’s on Friday night last, when Mr. Allan, the Baptist preacher, arose and endeavored to draw the Methodist pastor, into an argument on the respective merits of the two creeds. He challenged anyone present to produce a passage of Seripture in the New Testament § authorizing “sprinkling,” and wound up by offering his horse and carriage and fur coat to the person who would bring forward such a text. Some of those preseut got up and left the church.

Oneof them borrowed a sensational newspaper the etLer day, and disvovered an advertisement headed. “How to Make Pants Last.” He sent 50c. for instructions, and in due time received the following: “Make the coat and. vest first.” At last accounts the simpleton was trying to recover his money by legal pro- cess.

VAL C. PRINSEP, R. A.

What Is Told of Some of His Experiences While Painting Portraits.

The noted painting of Queen Victoria being crowned empress of India took tarce years to paint, and the artist, Val C. Prin- sep, R. A., had many curious experiences while at work. He went to India in the winter of 1876. The picture is 27 by 13 feet and contains 150 portraits. So it was necessary to have sittings from many In- dian potentates. When Holkar was sit- ting, he grew tired and yawned, and all the court at once engaged in snapping fin- gers to prevent the devil from leaping down Holkar’s throat, Indian ways were new to the English artist, and he at- tempted to assist unpack his painting ma- terials, but was told it was c¢onsidered highly degrading to stoop to the shadow of an attempt at manual labor. ‘‘After- ward,’’ he eaid, ‘‘I grew so great a person- age that if a spot of paint goton my finger tip I leaned languidly back while an at- tendant wiped it off."’

On Gie Occasion, when Holkar was sit- ting, he grew impatient and manifested it in unmistakable fashion. Said Mr. Prin- sep earnestly, ‘‘If the great God took five and twenty years to make you as beautiful as you are (Holkar was over 50), how can you expect me to paint you in as many minutes?’ The potentate became tractable at once.

One rajah who refused to give the req- uisite number of sittings also refused to allow Mr. Prinsep to take away his jeweled coat to paint. Finally the artist told the rajah’s son unless his father let him bor- row the coat he would be obliged to paint the rajah attired in his cook’s garment. Prinsep got the coat. Another rajah would not eat in a room where a European had becn, and always washed himself after shaking hands with a white man. It was a trying year passed by the artist. He had to compose doggerel poetry to amuse his sitters; witnessed elephant and buffalo fights, and was thrown from his pony over a bridge intoa stream. One rajah took some interest in the sittings und asked to be painted fat. He was rather proud of his bulk, and it was reputed that he was able to eat a whole wild boar atone sitting.

Qn his return from India the queen com- manded the sketches be brought her for approval. A yan was required for the forty odd sketches, which were arranged in two drawing rooms, and the queen’s visit lasted an hour, Mr. Prinsep explain- ing to her. The great picture was painted in rections of nine feet each. The huge oak frame cost $1,500.

In the case cf the Prinsep picture, ‘‘Em- peror Theophilus Choosing a Wife,’’ all the women inthe picture were painted from models among Prineep’s own friends, many of them women noted as society beauties. One ef them he desired to wear an angry look, but could not manage it until he happened to mention her daugh- ter-in-law, whom she hated. Instantly a flash of anger lit the eyes he wanted to paint just so.—Chicago News.

Electric Matches.

The electric match is the next important invention promised. Before very long the phosphorous tipped woocen splints now in use will be replaced by a handy little tool that may be carried in the pocket or hung up conveniently for striking a light when wanted. Twentieth century people doubt- less will speak of the ‘‘hell sticks’’ of the present day as primitive and absurd, just as we are disposed to look with scorn upon the flint and steel of our forefathers. Al- ready there ison the marketa gaslighter which affords more than a suggestion of the electric match of the future, a twist of the handle generating sufficient electricity to accomplish the purpose; also there are several styles of cigar lighters which de- pend for their supply of electricity upon storage batteries. For some years past the gas jets in theaters and public buildings have been lighted by the electric spark. Indeed most persons hive seen the curious experiment of lighting the gas with the finger after a shuffle across the carpet to generate the electricity needed.

come. Meanwhile inventors, as shown by the records of the patent office, exercise much ingenuity in trying to improve on the common everyéay match. There are matches of bone and matches of paste- board; also matches made of glass and matches of paper, while one enterprising genius proposes to manufacture matches out of a mixture of oyster shells and clink- ers ground up. Not least interesting is a spherical match—a little ball of wood pulp, covered with phosphorous composi- tion. In using it a holder is required, in- asmuch as there is no stick, the ignited wood pulp burning slowly until wholly consumed. Thus there is no residue of stick and char to be disposed of, and matches of this kind have the further ad- vantage that they are cheap and can be packed in very small compass, like pills. — Boston ‘lranscript.
