Porcelain making has been resum-

flourished from 1910 to 1887. The re-

ceramics.
In 1869 the United States imported
paper to the amount of 1927 .465, and
exported none worth mentioning. The

"A German makes paper stock from

Foreign Notes.
The Marchioness of Lorne has sent
word home that she likes Canada and
Rideau Hail very much. An agreeable
association between her old and new
home is kept up by the presence around
the Governor Generals house OF sem
tinels in the familiar uniform OF the
Coldstream Guards.
To certain extent the churches in
Rome represent the different trades.
There are churches for coachmen, bar
bers, carpenters, clockmakers, bakers,
wine-sellers, tailors, inkeepers, boatmen
and so on to the end of the list OF occu-
pations. Each trade is jealous and
proud of its congregation and church,
and they vie with each other in adorn-
ing it by contributing to its funds.
-Nine-tenths Of the thousand million
dollars which France borrowed from
English bankers in order to pay Ger
many are now held in the shape Of na-
tiona bonds by Frenchmen at home.
As fast as the foreigners would sell. the
bonds were bought up on the Paris
market, and thus, though France still
owes that vast sum, she owes 1t in bulk
only to her own people.
"A cooperative store has been es-
tablished in Paris by English capitalists,
which employs about 30 persons, and
deals in almost every thing required by
housekeepers. The capital is $3.50. 600.
The London cooperative societies re-
port handsome profits. One concern
upon sales of S., 200, 600, is said to have
realized $4,000 clear of expenses,
though selling about 20 per cent. below
the ordinary retail prices.
Germany has Just launched her first
homemade iron-clad-the Chameleon.
This is q vessel Of 1000 tons displace-
ment, with 8-inch armOr, draft of 10
feet when fully equipped, engines OF 700
indicated horsepower and 35-ton gun,
the projectile from which will penetrate
16 inches of iron. This small vessel
carries more formidable weapon than
does any English man-Of-war in COM
mission, the penetration Of the 80 ton
guns of the Thunderer, and Devastation
being only IA inches.
The gossip going round the press
as to q strong previous attachment OF
the Princess Louise for "a clergyman,
her tutor" points to Canon Duckworth,
her brother Leopold's tutor, not hers.
1t is quite possible that, like most young
girls, she may have had passing fancies
before she fixed her affections on the
Marquis of Lorne. Tho same stories
ran around about alleged tender pas
sions of her mother, the Queen, before
her marriage with Prince Albert. Vic
tOria's favored ones were said to be Lord
Elphinstone, Lord Fitzallen, then in
the First Life Guards, and afterward
Dixie of Norfolk, and Lord Alfred Pa
get, the father of Capt. Paget, who mar
RED Miss Minnie Stevens. Elphinstone
and Fitzallen were sent away, the first
to an appointment in India, the second
to travel in Greece, where he married
the present Duchess Dowager, dAugh-
ter Of Sir Edmund Lyons, the British
Minister at Athens. Lord Alfred, not
being deemed dangerous, was continu-
ed as equerry, apOsition which he has
continuously held.

The Rev. Thomas Aitken, pastor of
the First and Second Presbyterian
Churches in Sparta, N T., though now
in his S0th year, is still preaching every
Sabbath. OF late years he has been
subject to turns of fainting. Recently
he was taken with one in the pulpit, of
unusually severity. He was carried out
of it and ministered to. For some time
it was thought his labors were ended,
but after a while he revived and said ::
81 must 60 on with what was saying"
which he did, conducting the service to
its close. His people have proposed to
release him from the afternoon service at
the Second Church during the winter,
but he is reluctant to accept their kind
ness. 1t is nearly 40 years since he be-
gan to serve them, and his heart is so
deeply in his work that he is 10th to dis
continue it.
