Mammoth Undertaking.

A gigantic scheme Of harbor improve
ment, costineabout $500. 600 has just
beer launched at Montreal, and, If car
ried out, even in a modified form, will
make Montreal one Of the finest harbors
on this continent. The plan originated
with, and was submitted TO the board OF
trade by a practical mechanic and a
leading manufacturer Of old standing in
that city. The plan is to direct the cur
rent Of the St. Lawrence opposite the
city into the channel between st. Hclcn's
island and the southern shore, and this
he proposes TO do by having various OBJ
structions removed from the channel and
running a dam or a peninsuiar, n, he
calls it, from Point St. Charles. in the
west end Of the city. TO st. Helen's is
land, midway in the river. thus stopping
thecurrent from running through the pre-
sent main channel between the city and
ST. Helen's island. The practical advan-
tagcs that will accrue to the CITY and the
harbor from the carrying out of this pro-
dam will prevent the showing Of ice OPP
posite the city and the consequent flood
ing of buildings in the Grif1intown dis
trict, which is annually very destruc-
tive 10 property, and viii make of this
a saltwater harbor. where vessels may
lie during the winter. 1t il estimated
that the construction Of the dam. which
would be 27OO feet long, and 900 feet
broad, would raise the water two feet in
the river and lower ii two feet in the
harhor. This would give head of 90
feet for mill elevators and factories and
the transportation Of freight. The dam
would afford n roadway across the river
upon The construction Of a bridge from
st. llelcn's island to st. Lambert, thus
removing the necessity for a tunnel.
This could be utilized for railway or a
road for carriages and foot passen gers.
These are the main results anticipated
from the carrying out of the project.

BriekIa, ers and parsons.

A Manchester curate, walking along a
street in the dinner hour, passed lot Of
bricklayers smoking their pipes, and he
heard one of the men say:
"Fd like to be parson, and have
nowt to do but walk along in q black
coat and carry walking stick II my
hand, and get lot Of brass.
There was an approving laugh al
around, whereupon the curate turned
quietly around, and the following con
yersatin ensued:
50 you would like 10 be parson
How much do you get a week p
Twenty-seyen hhillings."
Well, / am not rich man, but
will give you twenty-seven shilling Il
you will come with me for q week and
see what my work is.
The bricklayer did not like the pro
posal, but his mates told him it Wa a
fair offer, and he was bound 70 accep, It
So he reluctantly followed the pareon
down an alley.
"Where are you going ?" be asked
ITO see sick parishioner," was tie
reply.
What is the matter with him 2"
Smallpox"
At this the man drew back. His wife
and BARNS had never had the small-poI,
and he Was afraid Of taking it 10 then
my wife and BARNS have never bal
the smallpox, said the curate. "Couo
along"
The man hesitated.
90, but you promised to accompany
me wherever I went, " urged the curate
"And where be you going next
asked the bricklayer.
"To see a poor family huddled Ii one
room, with the father dead Of scarlet
fever in it, and themselves all down with
it and, after that, 10 see another par
ishioner i'll with typhus. And to-mor-
row there VIII be a longer round.
Thereupon the bricklayer begged 10
be let off. Twenty-seven shillings would
be poor pay for that kind Of work, and
he promised he would never speak against
the parsons again.-LitciyieId Church.

Mhrt Shall the BoIs Do !

The very basis Of the healthful prog
fess Of any nation or country ia the
practice Of some mechanical industry bv
the majority Of the men. A certain pro-
portion may earn living in CONNER
cial pursuits or in the professions, and
some may procure a living ~ saloon
keepers, bar-tenders, loafers and tramps.
But very few can be supported in idle
ness or in vice without laying weary
burden upon the industrious classes. OF
late years a serious social danger Il
threatened by the action of the various
trades unions in refusing to admit boys
into shops as apprentices. Some years
ago there was a class Of apprentices in
every large shop or factory, and IN time
these boys became skillful wolkmen.
Now the supply of such artisans is cut
off at the very source, and the conse-
quence must be-and is, for we are all
discovering it in the most palpable man
ner-inferior materials and workman
ship in nearly every tool and machine
that is purchased. "The farmer pays
for all" not only for inferior work of
unframed artisans, but for the support
of idle boys and the vicious, dangerous
men that idle youths must invariably
become in time
Fortunately there is one industry into
which every boy will be welcomed.
There is scarcely a farmer in the land
who is not prepared and ready, nay,
eager, to accept the services of an sp-
prentice for such remuneration as his
labor may deserve. Board, clothes and
a little spending money he is ready to
give, and, in addition, to teach him the
practice of his art, which is certainly as
intricate as saving wood OF hammering
iron. There are no trades unions on
the farm. The farms Will receive all the
boys that workshops refuse, and the
boys will have no cause in the end to
regret the ill-nature and selfshness that
drove them there. .-Rurdl Ne,o Yorker.

preached, and read,
Preparing for the Sabbath day the sermon he had
made.

And cautioned me to be quite stn, and bado me moi
