SIR CHARLES TUPPER,

Sir Charles Tupper, the Conservative leader, addreseed a very large meeting in Victoria, British C ago, and dealt at great length with the ad- vancement of the western c.uotry, which be credited to the work dove by the Con- tervative party in building the C. P. R.

Referring to the sealing question, he saidthat a greater indignity had ever been perpetuated than the seizure of the Can adian sea'ers by the United States, ard ouly the fact of kinship made Great Brit- ian deal eo Jeniently with the U. 8. in the matier.

jected a proposal from the Duke of Devon. shire that would have brought it about. The present Government could not claim credit for the denouncing of the German aod Belgiau treaties, this having been brought about at the request of the Pre- miers of all the colonies, He closed witha general denunciation of the present Gov- ‘r-meot, and prophesiel that atthe first oy § p rtunity the Conservatives would sweep wnem from power.

He maintained that Premi-r Lanrier’s career since his accession to office hae been marked by absolute disregard of the pled- gea upon which be sought election and the trampling under foot of every I'r aciple he Lad advucated while seeking prefer~ ment.

RUSSIA’S RULER’S RICHES.

A Rothschild Among European Sovereigns Is the Czar.

The Emperor Paul, whose reign was certainly not one of the most brilliant, was nevertheless one of the greatest bene- factors of the dynasty. He not only set- tled the order of succession on a perma- nent basis, but also endowed his posterity with the material means of maintaining their position. It is claimed that no other reigning farnily in Europe is so well pro- vided for. Paul I set aside a vast amount of landed property, under the name of the tmperial appanages, for the sole benefit of all grand dukes and grand duchesses not in the direct line of succession, while the sovereign and the heir apparent, together with their respective families, were to be supported out of the funds of the state.

These appanages of the Russian impe- rial family now cover the enormous total area in different sections of Russia of 21,- 000,000 acres, an extent of land larger by 2,000,000 acres than the whole of Scot- land. ‘This total includes 15,000,000 acres of wood and forest, producing yearly more than 5,000,000 rubles. The total annual revenue of the imperial appanages now reaches 20,000,000 rubles, or more than £2,000,000, and, with no fewer than 46 members of the tmperial family to sup- port, the expenditure at present amounts toa yearly average of over 5,600,000 rn- bles. In 1891 it was over 6,000,000 rubles.

The appanages are quite separate and distinct from extensive private property, and from the crown or state domains, ad- ministered by the minister of agriculture, and they de not contribute toward the an- nual expenditure of the imperial court, amounting, as far as can be ascertained, to about £1,000,000, nor toward providing dowries for imperial grand duchesses. Be- fore the emancipation of the eerfs the ap- panages possessed over 800,000 peasants, who paid annually in land and poll taxes for the benefit of the imperial family near- ly 3,000,000 rubles and during 68 years, up to their liberation, altogether 119,000, - 000 rubles, or £12,5060,000. The depart- ment of imperial appanages has since be- come the largest landed proprietor, the largest agriculturist and the largest wine producer in the empire. Its industrial en- terprises in timber, sugar, cotton and other products are rapidly developing on a proportionately large scale. During a century of existence it has furnished the collateral branches of the impcrial house with altogether 226,000,000 rubles, and asthe imperial progeny continues to in- crease a large reserve fund is employed in preparing to mect their ever growing de- mands.-—Lgndon Times.

ma HEN AND A KITTEN, The Story of a Singularly Remarkable Familiy Connection.

During my residence on our Burlington county farm I had the rare opportunity of making the following interesting observa- tion:

One of our barnyard fowls had been laying her daily egg in an unused man- ger, which she had evidently selected as a hatching place, and she was now ready to begin the ordained three weeks’ labor of ‘‘sitting.’’ At the same time the barn cat had found the manger very inviting for her hours of repose, and it thus happened

fabby and old Cluck had become friends and agreed to occupy the manger }Oilnt posses ‘Things went along smoothly in this unique but happy family for several days, during which the hen faithfully plucked her breast, feathered her and no doubt believed that she w hatching,

nest

as

while in truth she was sitting on stale nest eggs, from which all the warmth of hendom could never bring a chick. Still she sat, plucked her breast and

turned her eggs, while pussy came and went at will, spending at least half her time with the hen and in asclose proximi- ty as if they had been sister cats. But the three weeks’ hatching process was destined to be very much shortened.

It was, in fact, nearer three days than three weeks when the hen awoke one morning lind the nest filled with young. Young what? Perhaps she thought that they were chickens, but if she was wise enough to know the truth she was not honest enough to acknowledge it, for she innocently assumed that they were chickens and her own offspring, whereas they were pussy’s kittens.

The cat and the hen, however, seemcd to remember their compact. They were friends, notwithstanding the advent of children, the maternity of which was equally claimed by the biped and the quadtuped. Nay, their bond of friendship seemed to be strengthened by the union of their efforts to give the little ones a proper bringing up.

Inexorable fate, however, decreed that the poor little kittens should have no nat- ural mother, About the time that it was possible for them to live without her an accident caused the death of the old cat, and a home was found for all but one. To that one the hen devoted her undivided attention for the whole summer, and so assiduously that the kitten must surely have believed the hen to be her true and natural mother.

The hen going about between the house and barn clucking for the kitten was indeed a funny sight and attracted very general attention, and it was equally re- markable to see the kitten run to her when she made a peculiar call that chickens so well understand means something to eat. At night and during the resting hours of the day kittie would crawl under the warm wings of her foster mother, and the brooding hen and her nestling kitten were happy and contented, little dreaming that they were so far from being related to each other.—Our Animal Friends.

AN EXPERT DRAFTSMAN.

How He Succeeds In Drawing Ealf Dollars From Charitable Pockets.

“*Sir,"’ said the well dressed man with the pale face, ‘‘I am an expert draftsman out of work. My tools are held at the ho- tel where I lodged last night. I need 50 cents to get them out, and I have been promised work tomorrow. But I can’t work without my tools. Will you assist me?’’

The man about town dug into his vest pocket, fished out a quarter and handed it to the draftsman.

‘*This is the best I can do,’’ he said.

‘*] am sorry,’’ said the unfortunate, re- turning the silver piece, ‘‘and lam obliged for your good intention, but that amount will not do me any good at all. I owe the hotel man half a dollar.’’

‘Why,’ said the man about town, “lemme see. Maybe I’ve got another quarter, Yes, here itis.’’ And he pro-

cueed a half.

With muttered thanks the draftsman walked away.

‘That's the last you will see of him,’’ said an amused friend, ‘I’ve been work- ed. That same fellow told me his hard luck story day before yesterday. I know a half dozen men who have been victim- ized. There are five in the gang, and they work in the down town districts, mainly about Adams and Dearborn streets. I didn’t interfere because it is a new dodge, and I wanted to see how it would go with you.”’

The man about town credited his lost 50 cents to the sum total of experience,— Chicago Chronicle.

The Make Up of tho Gutenberg Bible. The workmanship of the printer in his own proper field is wonderfal when we re- gard the circumstances under which it was done, but it would not satisfy the re- quirements of a modern publisher or bockbuyer, It is of its own time, with the faults of that time in manner and matter. The promise of legibility which seems war- ranted by the bold and black ts pes is de- lusive. The ordinary Latin scholar can- not read the book, nor refer to any passage in it with satisfaction. It is without title and paging figures. The blank spaces which indicate changes of subject and give relief to the eyes were seized by the illu- minator. Verse follows verse and chapter folbows chapter, and one line chases an- other with grudging of white space and of tone relief which is not atoned for by the dabs of red in the rubrics, nor by the pro- fuse wealth of ornamentation in the cen- ter column and margins.

The composition is noticeably irregular, the lines are not alwzys of uniform length. When a word was divided, the hyphen was allowed to project and give to the right side of the colutnn a ragged appearance, When there were too many letters for the line, words were abbreviated. The meas- ure Was narrow, and it was only through the liberal use of abbreviations that the spacing of words was regulated. The pe- riod, colon and hyphen were the only points of punctuation.—Publishers’ Week-
