Canadian Restaurants.

A result Of the cheapness OF meats
and vegetables, the prices at the best
dining rooms in Montreal are .sry rea-
sonabls. At the very elegant Ottawa
Hotel restaurant. for instance. q large
porter-houss steak for two was only co
cents, and IL was one OF the most delie-
ious I ever had. A porter.house steak
for one In any restaurant in New York
City costs at least 60 cents. A brace Of
sweet Canadian mutton chops at another
restaurant. and a great hot mealy baked
potato cost Just 20 cents. i have paid
exactly 90 cents for the same sort Of
lunch many times in New York chop
houses but II must be remembered that
Canadian chops. in New York. cost fully
25 cents per pound. while here the finest
mutton Is below II cents. i noticed
greater number Of good restaurants IN
Montreal this year than ever before.
One could never travel more cheaply
than now in this section. The people
have come down to hard money prices.
aud Yankee can buy as eheaply ~
Canadian. Better than all. thanks to
our Resumption law and the honest
money idea. u greenback is now at least
MS good as gold anywhere in Canada,
and everybody glad to get II without
humiliaiing you by charging an onerous
discount. Troy Iunss.

Electric Light In Mines.

The London Mining Journal points out
that, aside from its other advantages,
the success Of tho electric light would
solve most important problem Affect
ing the lives Of many persons now work
ing in mines. There appears to be no
reason. says the Journal. why cleo
tricity should not be made applicable
for mining instead OF lamps, and this
would effect what mining engineers aud
foremost chemists have long been look
ing for. Il would give the men a light
such ~ they never dreamt Of, enabling
them to get much larger quantity OF
coal In given time than II Is possible
for them to bring down by the light OF
the lamp. which barely suffices to make
the blackness OF the working places visi-
BILE. II would also benefit both masters
and men. and greater safety would be
insured. for explosions would be all but
impossible, whilst the miners would be
better abl, to guard against falls OF roof
and coal"

Syracuse N. Y. J Courier: About
the first OF January there appeared In
the New York Herald an advertiser
ment inquiring for the address Of "the
daughter Of tho late Horace Mech"
to whom, II stated, the late William
9. Glynn, of Boston, had, by will, Left
a fortune of $50, 1000, application to DO
made to Mr.. Choate, fremont street,
Boston. Mr.. Horace Mech was many
years ngo q we'll known resident OF
Albany. William q. Glynn wan at
the same time--perhaps quarter OF
q century ago--A teacher OF music In
that city. Among his pupils was
Miss Mech, daughter Of the aforesaid.
Glynn fell In love with the young
lady, and she, presumably with him,
and they were married. Tho parents
were bitterly opposed TO the match,
and succeeded, In q few months, In
persuading their daughter to leave
hlm. A divorce followed. Glynn
removed to Boston and was lost to
sight. The widow, In reduced clrenm-
stances. was living with sister on
Staten Island, when some Albany
friends, seeing by chance the adverS
tisement, acqulanted her of its con.
tents. She at once took measures to
secure the bonanza left her by her
first love. II seems that Glynn, after
removing TO Boston, made fortune
In the music business. Time, how
ever, nor circumstances, made him
forget I" the girl he left behind him, I"
although she had been thrice married,
and had become a grandmother, since
his eyes had beheld her.

st. Louis Times The silver famine
In England Ia 1895, under the reign OF
William and Mary, Tor n short time
produced the same widespread and
poignant distress that the combined
green back and silver famine is produce
Ing to-day In tho United States. The
cause OF the distress In England grew
out OF debase ment OF the silver by
clipping aud sweating, which crime
could not be prevented even by the Sc.
we're penalty Of being hung, drawn and
quartered, then denounced by the law.
The currency was clipped till four hum
bred shilling hardly possessed the
weight OF two hundred, and the gold
guinea rated at thirty shillings instead
OF twenty,one. In the manner of
coinage at that time there was no
means of detecting the loss OF metal in
the coins except by weight.

a Combat Between Parrot ana sp'

The correspondent of a French paper
relates a remarkable contest which he
witnessed In the Isle OF Java between
a parrot and gigantic spider. The
spider, whose body was as large as
small birds, dropped down upon
young parrot whose mamma was from
home and spreading Its huge claws
over the nest began sucking its blood.
When the mother returned she natur..
ally "went for" the enemy, and seized
hold of one OF his legs, but whether it
be that leg, are not sensitive portit n
Of spiders organizations, or that this
particular insect had an overpowering
penchant for the blood OF young par
rots, he wouldn't let go, until his pain
becoming too intense for endurance
he turned on the mother and. twiuing
all his legs firmly around her neck,
WINS just arranging for good long
suck In that quarter when she gave
him an awful dig in the belly with
her heak, whereupon he fell over,
dragging her to the ground with him.
| The naturalist then shot him and re-
leased the parrot.
