The popular impression that New
foundland is n dependency of Great
Britain appears TO be erroneous. Lord
Dunrayen has just called attention to
the fact that, by the treaty of Utrecht,
still in force, fishing rights over theshore
from Cape Ray TO Cape John, compris-
ing about thrce-ScycnthS of the entire
coast line of the island, were secured
to France; and that country lays claim
to strip of land half u mile in width
along the entire western scaboard
Some day the settlement of conflicting
claims OF the English and French Gov
ernments will afford a fine field for di-
plomatic mancuycring. Meanwhile,
the uncertainty is II serious bar TO the
prosperity of the whole island. The
Government is dcbarrcd from making
any disposition Of over twenty thousand
square miles Of land Nobody cares to
purchase or attempt TO develop the re-.
sources of the land Worse still, as il
is subject to no authority, it has become
the refuge Of criminals Of all classes,
for no wrts are effective there, but "ev-
cry man does that which seems best 10
him in his own eyes.

SHE KEPT HER WORD.

A Salopian parish clerk seeing a
woman crossing the churchyard
with bundle ard watering-can fol-
lowed her, curious to know what
her intentions might be, aud dis
covered that she was widow of o
months standing. Inqni-ing what
she was going to do with the water
ing-pot she informed him that she
had begged some grass seed TO SOW
upon her husbands grave, an1 had
brought a little water to make it
spring up quickly. The clerk told
her there was no occasion for her
to take that trouble-the grave
would be green i'll good time. "Ah.
that may be-" was the frank reply;
'but my poor husband made me
promise not to marry again until
the grass had grown ever his grave;

There are sou who possess q
wonderful capacity for eating oys-
ters. Some three or four years ago
an amateur actor of this city aston
ished his friends by eating one hum
dred and oue oysters i'll quick sue
cession as fast ns the opener could
furnish them. But this feat was
surpassed 6 few nights ago By q
steamboat pi OF, of large abdominal
proportions, who wishing TO get up
II relish fol his supper, entered o
saloon uu Gravier street. Before he
left the counter he had despatched
fourteen dozen and three raw oys-
ters, and would have eaten more,
lad he not exhausted the proprie-
tors stock. Fortified with this BIZ
valvular provocative to an appetite,
the hungry pilot repaired TO his
boat, where he succeeded in doing
away with u most sumptuous supper
with great ease, zest and enjoyment.

PROMPTLY SUPPRESSED.

More than a year ago those who
travel by the Woodward Avenue
car line entered into solemn agree
ment not to mention the weather to
each other when they mot on the
ear. No matter how hot or cold
the weather was, no one was
to speak of it, and each one
was to infer that all the others had
brains enough to expect 'en degrees
below in January and eighty-6ye
above in August. As result of
this agreement a nuisance was
abolished and thousands of citizens
put in way to enjoy themselves as
we'll as one can in the street car. Two
weeks ago the organization was re-
vived. and scores of new names add
ed to the list, and up to yesterday
noon the worl weather" had not
beec even limited at on any car on
that line. At that hour stranger
entered car at Adelaide street,
and had scarcely taken seat when
ne said to a man across the aisle:
mice little shower we've had?"
He was given freezing look in
reply, but he continued:
Curious that We don't have moro
thunder storms this spring"
One of the organization here pre-
sented him with an engraving OF q
coffin, but after brief glance he
continued:
Wonder if we are going to have
a very dry summer"
One more effort was made to
save him. but he recklessly OBJ
served:
I'm buying place up here. and
shall use this line four times per
dav. Did any OF you gentleman
notice how the thermometer stood?"
The Car was stopped, and he was
taken off and impaled on the top
of some iron pickets, no one even
troubling himself 10 take down his
dying words to his wife. The Coro-
ner has refused to hold any inquest
and the Chief of Police says he shall
take mo- official notification OF the in
cident. That's the sort of men they
are up Woodward Avenue, and
that's the sort of end weather talk
ers may expect to reach. This say
irg it's hot or cold Or balrny or
breezy or close or bracing has got
to be put stop to, if the cross-bar
on every lamp-post becomes GAL
lows. It means nothing. annoys
everybody, and is deserving of vio-
lent death. Let the work of execu-
tion 30 on.-Detroit Free Press.

81 felt so blue that I sat down
ola pile of railroad ties and leaned
my elbows on my knees, with my
head IN my hands, an;, cried like q
great boy, out of sheer home sick
ness and discouragemeht.
Pretty soon one of the railroad
men came along. and said, in a
voice that sounded like the sweet
asst music in my ears, for I hadn't
found much real sympathy out
there. although the boys were all
good to me in that way, You've
been having rough time OF it, and
You must let me help you out.
81 looked up, and there stood
Jim Kendrick, with his month :
pay in his hand. He took out from
the roll of bills a twenty-dollar note
auu utlu IL OUT I'd IlS.
Il knew he had a sickly wife and
two or three children, and tha: he
had a hard time of it himself to
pull through from month to month,
So ] said, half ashamed of the tears
that were streaming down my face,
Indeed, l cannot take the money.
You need every cent yourself
Indeed, you will take it, man, ,
said Jim. You will be all right in
q few weeks, and then you can pay
it back. Now come home with me
to supper and see the babies; it will
do you good"
81 took the bank-note and &C.
cepted the Invitation, and after that
went to his house frequently, until
he moved awaj, and I gradually lost
SIGHT of Lim. I had returned the
loan, but it was impossible to repay
the good that little act of kindness
did me. and [ guess Jim Ken
bricks little girl will never want tor
anything, il can help it."
Then, turning again to the child
whose blue eyes were open wide
enough now, he said TO her:
I'll take you home with me,
Bessie, dear, when we get to Wayne.
My wife will fix you up, and we'll
write and find out whether those
Vermont relations really want you
or not. If they Go, Mary or I will
go OH with yon. But if they don't
care much about having You, You
shall stay with us and be our little
girl. for we have none of our own.
You look very much like your
father; God bless his memory"
just then the Eastern train whis-
tied.
"All ahoard!" was shouted. En-
gineer Frank vanished out of the
car door and went forward to his
engine. wiping bis eyes with his
coat-sleeve, while the conductor
and sympathetic passengers could
not suppress the tears this touching
episode evoked during the twenty
minutes stop at Aliens Junction.
