Toronto Fences,

The Toronto Globe says that there
must be TO Toronto 100 miles of streets
lined on each side with costly and hide
Gus fences are innocent of all utility
except that they exercise some slight
restraining influence upon the hordes
of young barbarians who prowl about
seeking for mischief to commit Probab-
ly few people have any idea Of the
amount of money which is wasted in
these fences. Assuming that we have
100 miles Of street so adorned, this
makes |, 056,000 feet of front fence; and
taking the lots to be of an average width
OF 80 feet; and the houses as standing
at an average distance Of 10 feet from
the street line we have another $4,000
feet worse than useless division fences
in front of the houses, making in all
1,342,000 feet of front fence. There is
no use OF this fencing that cost a greater
sum than 40 cents foot than less.
Taking the lost sum of 50 cents foot as
its first cost our front fences stand us in
the sum S67l,000 The painting of the
fences cost 20 cents u square yard of
their surface, representing another in
vestment of az least $4,000 The ex-
IRENE average life of the fencing is 10
years, and during that time the painting
must be renewed at least twice, or il the
owner have any pretension to tidiness,
four times. These figures, whichare by
no means overstated, will give some
idea of the amount of money that is
thrown away in fences. When it is
considered, too, that 999 of the gates
belonging to these fences are woeful
failures against the casual dog; that they
either will not shut or else will not stay
Shut that if they do shut they shut with
such bang the paterfamilies is ALWAYS
on thorns for fear his children fingers OF
his dogs tail should be sacrificed; and
even as the interposing medium between
procrastinating spoons the front gate
is really nothing but nuisance, deriv-
ing all its pleasant memories from as.
sociations only; it will be seen that the
case to be made ont against front fences
and their concomitant gates is simply
crushing. They have, in fact, only the
one little rcdecming point previously
indicated, namely, that the young cub
OF the human species has apparently
been born with Il respect for Il fence
which is in realty no barrier whatever
but only the symbol of barrier the
survival in fact of the moat, drawbridg,
and portcullis, which were once the pre-
requisites Of sound nights sleep.

Great Works in Olden Times

Wendell Phillips thinks the ancients
attained perfection in some arts, the
knowledge of which has been lost in our
time, II is certain that those most IA
miliar with steam-power and modern
machinery are puzzled to explain how
the grand structures of the ancient world
were erected, Builders say that no
modern contractor could erect the great
pyramid in Egypt, and lift the gigantic
stones at the summit to the height Of
four hundred and fifty feet
A recent visitor to Baalbec, and the
ruins of the great temple of Baal, doubts
if any modern architect could rebuild
the temple in its ancient grandeur.
Three huge stones, sixty-four feet long,
thirteen high, and thirteen wide, stand
in wall at the height of twenty feet.
Nine other stones, thirty feet long, ten,
high, and ten wide, are joined together
with such nicely that trained eye can
not discover the line of juncture.
A column still stands in the quarry, q
mile distant, which is completed, with
the exception that it is not detached at
the bottom. 1t is sixty-nine feet long,
seventeen high, and fourteen broad,
and one can not understand how it can
be separated at the bottom from the
quarry without breaking. The ruins of
this vast temple inspire respect for the
genius of former ages.

Giving a Flavor to Meat,

From Land and Water.
The following amusing story, told me
by the late BraNsley Cooper, was after
ward published in the life of his dis
tinguished uncle, Sir Ashley Cooper.
1t is stated that upon one occasion of the
Athlete Club meeting at Mr.. Coleman's,
at the Veterinary College, he promised
Mr., Norris, President of the Royal
College of Surgeons, who was a great
gourmand, that he would give him a
Joint of beef from Markham's and
ordered fine sirloin to be sent on the
appointed day. The party met, the
promised beef soon made its appearance.
The host cut for his friend Norris one
of the primest slices, and soon, in ex-
ultation, inquired if it were not to his
hearts content. To this Mr. Norris
replied, "The beef is good beef, but it
is not my friend Markham's." Pooh!
Poohm said Mr. Coleman: "I'll swear
it is, Norris, for ! called myself at his
shop and ordered it. and this morning
had ii delivered at my house by his own
man. but may be wrong, Norris; how
ever, to decide the matter, if you please,
I'll lay you a bet of a dinner for the
party that it is Markham's beef"
The butcher was sent for. Coleman
put the question; 'Mr. Markham, all
/ have to ask of you is, was the beef
your man left here this morning your
own meat?" mo SIR said he ''it was
not. | have to make thousand
apologies; for although you yourself
gave me the order ten days ago, never
thought of it till looked in my book
this morning, when | knew | had moth
ing in my shop that would answer the
purpose. therefore myself went to
every butcher in the market and picked
out the finest piece | could find, and |
hoped it would prove satisfactory; but
the beef is not mine" Norris laughed
heartily at the successful display of his
gastronomic faculties, and the whole
party joined in the fun against Coleman,
who was generally so sagacious in his
bets as to make it quite novelty when
he lost The secret is this: Markham
was in the habit of buying stock much
older then butchers usually buy for GER
tain of his most peculiar customers, and
afterwards feeding it himself in some
peculiar manner before bringing it to
the slaughter-house. So superior to
that of any man of his day was his beef
considered, that many persons, of whom
Mr.. Norris was one, would pay the
most eXorbitant prices for meat to be
supplied by him. Mr. Norris was the
grandfather of Lord Penzance and
several of the Wilde family.

0ologne's Cathedral,
Boston Post.

Boston POSI-
1t is finished The grand Gothic pile
which in inception, in promise and in
construction, has stood in the focus of
religious and national interest for
twenty generations, has at last reached
completion, has been distinguished by
the ceremony of dedication, and now
takes its place as one of the most mag
nifcent monuments Of history. We
have already called attention to the rise
and progress Of this lordly and impos-
inc edilice. For more than six hundred
years it has been one Of the leading fea-
lures of the city of Cologne, and the
question has ever been not when would
this massive structure surrender TO time
and decay, but when would time and
enterprise Of quickened thought and
purpose carry to completion this work
so nobly plannedP Its prospects have
indeed looked dark at times, as dark as
the ages through which its towering
heights have Stood but its fortunes rose
with the barometer of progress and
enlightenment, and it stands to-day in
its grandeur the finest specimen of
Gothic architecture upon the footstool,
and triumph of the artistic ideas of the
past When it was planned the refor-
nation was in the remote future, an
agitation undreamed of. The trans
forming influence of that religious rev.
olution upon the thought of Germany
has given to this work a character very
different from that which lay in the
minds of its pious founders. The total
absence Of the Catholic clergy at the
dedication is proof enough of that.
Whether this absence was due to the
wish of the German Emperor, or to the
preferences of the clergy themselves,
we can not tell but, in either event. it
is to be regretted. Even tradition
should have had more honor paid itand
evident, as well as recorded purpose
should have been platform broad
enough for the representatives Of Cath
Ole and conservative church and Prot
estant state to meet upon in dignified
commemoration of the great events of
the past and hopeful dedication to the
good of the future. The German En-
peror wished 10 make il the seal of a
united Germany, but his national spirit
was evidently warped and fettered by
his prejudices. The glory of empire is
far more to him than the consistency of
history. He has discarded the past, and
has refused recognition of all the sig
niiicant eras in the progress of this
monument, except so far as it reflects
German enterprise at the present time.
We are glad that the world has such q
monument and such historical shrine,
and, whatever Kaiser Wilhelm may
think, it will mean much more to the
visiting hosts Of all nations than the
glory and consequence Of his imperia
majesty.

Retaliating MnsicallY,

When the future composer Of the
Barber of Seville was quite young
man, the manager of the San Nose
Theatre at Venice became seriously an
noyed with him in consequence of his
having engaged to write for another
Venetian theatre - the Fenice 49, and
treated him with so much inciyilty that
Rossini determined TO be reyenged up
on him. The manager, had been ma
licious enough to give Rossini n libret-
TO so utterly ridiculous that TO make it
the basis of tolerable opera was out of
the question. Rossini however was
bound TO set il TO music, and,
in default of doing so, would have been
required to pay damages, In this diff
Guilty he resolved at once to fulfil 3'lis
engagement, and to take his revenge
upon the manager by setting the absurd
libretto to music which transcribed II in
absurdity. His score was, as one of the
biographers describes it, ''ludicrous,
grotesque, eXtravagant to the degree of
caricature." The bass had TO sing at
the top of his voice, and only the very
lowest notes of the prima donna were
called into requisition. One singer,
whose appearance was always the sig
nal for laughter, had to deliver fine
drawn sentimental melody. Another
artist, who could not sing at all, had q
very difficult air assigned to him, which,
that none of his faults might pass UNI
perceived,was accompanied ptantSStmo
by q ptzzicatO of violins.

The United States fish commission
has received information that the Cali
fornia State Association has just re-
ceived from China quantity of Cow
RAINY, very fine food fish, which is to
be introduced in the California waters.
Some of them are to be sent to Wash
ington for propagation and distribution
in all rivers and lakes of the country
where it is claimed they will flourish.
1t is claimed they are superior to sal
mon.
1t is reported that the PariSianS are
at last beginning to discover that the
''eau de seltzh which they consume so
largely in "siphons'' is capable simply
of poisoning them. An analysis of
twelve "siphons," taken at hazard in
different quarters of Paris, which was
presented to the Academy of Sciences
by Mr.. Pateur, shows that it contains
per litre fourteen one-thousandths of
salts of pewter and two-one-thousandths
of salts of copper. These substances
are poisonous.
