A BISHOP ON HIS TRAVELS.

The Sensation Caused BY the Arrival
OF Canadian at the Virginia Springs.
A parsonage conspicuous, but not for
size, says a White Sulphur letter to the
Globe Democrat, is Bishop Hellmuth, IF
London, Canada-Bishop General of the
Provinces his full title is. He is, in sta
ture, the smallest man at White Sulphur,
but his clothes look as if the tailor had
measured him by his intellectual great
ness. The skirts of his broadcloth coat
are absurdIy near the ground, while his
pantaloons are reefed up around his
ankles in a manner to present the al
tentative of wanton waste of cloth or
no "galluses." The little Bishop COM
pletes this odd costume with a small
crowned, -brimmed, black felt hat,
which he wears well drawn down on the
back of his head. There is no lack of
outward respect shown him, as the con-
tinual lifting of hats as he passes bears
witness. This Difference seems to be
source Of mingled qualification and won
derment to him. Sometimes after re-
turning an unusually reverent geeting he
will turn and look after the departing
form with a half pleased and half puZ-
Zled expression, as if Virginia manners
were matter for some study.
Out OF the Bishops hearing there IS a
little good-natured fun poked at HIM and
his queer ways. ''Did you see him the
night he got herer' asked one. "Well,
he was pretty near distracted about his
valise, little old rusty affair. When |
saw him thought he must be a jeWelry
peddler with his stock in that bag as he
called it. Il say he exclaimed excitedly
to the porter as soon as he got out of the
omnibus, has my bag conner The Niger
l. krII ~
could stammer out was: ST dunno, sab !;
but / spec not, sah.' When he regis
tered he laid down half a dollar, and you
ought to have seen that clerk stare,9

PEACE.

SIT may be fairly said that go per cent.
of the existing debts stand for war expen-
diture, and 40 per cent. for reproductive
works.
Chow do the debts Of the several ma
tions Of the world compare with their
wealthr
THE debt ratio to wealth per cent. at
the present time, is as follows: United
Kingdom, S.4 per cent; France, 11.9; Ger
many, 81; Russia, 1911; Austria, 1873;
Italy, 1875; Spain, 20.6; Portugal, 2S.5;
Holland, S.4; Belgium, "a; Denmark, 80;
Sweden and Norway, 30; Greece, So;
Europe, 1916; United States, 30; Canada,
Sc; Australia, 1873; Argentine Republic,
z 8; Uruguay, 14.6. Total 9.3. Here we
we see that there are only eight countries
in which the debt ratio is up to 10 per
cent. of national wealth. The national
debt of the United States. when compared
to the wealth of the country, is only 80
per cent. lower than that of any country
included in my inquiry"
CATER studying the subject, what are
your conclusionsW
1.-THE conclusions VIII ich think l may
draw are four, namely: That national
debts are not to be viewed with such hOr-
ror as our grandfathers and grandmothers
entertained regarding them. That they
offer convenient mode of investment for
Britieh capital, and are generally secure.
That the increase of debt in Europe has
not injured the working classes. That
we may expect to see national debts in
crease at least $500, 100000 a yearlduring
the rest of the nineteenth century,"
After spending a few days in Philadel-
phia the English statist, accompanied BY
Mrs. Mulhall, will proceed to Niagara,
thence to Chicago, and then return East,
remaining in New York until they sail
for England.

MEAT BISCUIT.

Bread and Meat Put Up Together in a
Can.
AS the meat biscuit herein described
contains much nutriment in very small
compass, and will prove valuable on sur
veying and exploring expeditions, as
well as useful to hunting, fishing, and
camping parties, says a correspondent, l
have decided TO give it to the world, with
your permission, through the medium OF
your columns.
Kill good, fat OK, bleed him and skin
him; cut all the meat. fat and lean, clean
off the bones and chop this meat into
small pieces, mixing the fat and lean well
together; add to this mass clean raw
onions, chopped, in the proportion of half
a pound of onions to a pound Of meat;
mix the meat and onions well together,
and pass the mixture through a mincing
machine similar to a sausage machine;
add to this minced material as much dry
wheaton flour as it will take up with
adhesion; mix well and roll and cut or
press into biscuits of suitable size about
half an inch in thickness; bake the bis
cults, without burning, in suitable
wire or other frame work In an ordinary
baking oven; when baked, pack and seal
them in tin canisters holding from ten 30
thirty pounds each. These operations
succeed each other as closely and rapidly
as the manufacture will permit.
l hope some enterprising firm in your
city will take the matters up, and will,
when successful, send me a sample in
friendly recognition,

More than half a century ago, when gam

more respectable than il is now, or rather
when there were no stock exchange, no board
of brokers, no railroad or manufacturing

those who bad it 10 them 10 gam ble-at This time
Boston gentleman happening to be in Port
land, Maine, sat down enc evening with citi-
zen of that town, who understood the handling
of CARDS as well as auy man in the country.
They played long ard deep aptil the Bostonian

draw checks on the Suffolk Bank, in Boston,
until they amounted TO thirty thousand dol
lars. The small party broke up, and the one
who had given the checks proposed to himself
10 stop their payment. There was at that
time, OF conrss, communication with Boston
only by stag coach, and he arranged fer a re-
lay OF horses To take bin to Boston, before the
next mail could reach there. He arrived al
the bank q few minutes before it closed and
found, 10 his establishment aud cbagrin, that
the checks had al been drawn thirty minutes

Letter from Rev. Henry blanchard.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The reports OF my lectures on tbs great re-
ligions of the world, which have appeared In
your columns, have been remarkably free from
Typographical mistakes. The report on 1.-THE
Religion Of Egypt" appearing in this morn
ing'a issue, however, contains one or two
important errors, which beg leave to correct.
OF Egypt are separate deities'' should read "are
net separate deities.'
The phrase "when he is benefcent, he is
Asins" should be--"he is Osiris" The words
formulated by African teachers-Anger, Ath-
anasius, "etc.,-"should read "Orieen" instead
Of Anger.
Your readers will readily understand that a
report of a lecture, occupying an hour in deliv-
cry, must be necessarily incomplete. To do
full justice would require a larger space than a
daily paper can epsre. The service try 70 rem
der to my hearers is to study thoroughly the
works of the admirable scholars of today, and
then 10 condense and formulate what / learn
so as to present it, In speech, in such way
that it may be remembered and instruct. What
Is spoken in an hour costs many hours of study.
may help on the work l have Ia hand in
these lectures, by giving to your readers list
OF books which gave my hearers last evening
DIR James Freeman Clarke's two books on
"Ten Great Religions of the World"-Rev. w
r. Ayers great work on "The History Of the
Doctrine of Future Life"-Rsv. Samuel
Johnson's books China and India-Max
Muller's works. These, with others / might
name, will give earnest students ample infor-
nation. hope some of these will formulate
for themselves the knowledge they gain from
these sources. The mere they study, thu moro
they will become interested in the religions of
the world, and the more they will enjoy the
