tors express confidence in ability to meet
the indebtedness. The head officer of the
bank is il Cork, but the central office is in
Dublin. Last year the shareholders met
and adopted a resolution requesting Mr.
Shaw, NJ. p, the chairman,:to retire, and
Messrs. jackson, Fitzgerald and other share
holders instituted a suit to make the direc-
tors responsible for deficit caused by over
drafts to themselves. 1t transpired that Mr.
Shaw was indebted to the bank $50 600 Mr.
Shaw claimed 10000 fees as director
Eventually the matter was amicably ar
ranged. in order to stop the litigation, and
Shaw withdrew his claim. IN giving judg

In an article recently contributed to
the GcSuBdhett-a paper, as its name
imports, devoted to sanitary subjects
Professor Reclaim, a German Gclthrter,
makes some timely and useful observa-
tions on the subject of badness. After
describing. in a vein Of pleasantly, the
vast array Of bare polls which may be
seen any evening in the pit of theater
or the body Of a lecture-room, lie dis
Cusses the causes Of badness. He does
not think. as is sometimes said, that
loss Of hair IS the result either of inn

German professors, who are nothing if
not studious. are distinguished above all
men byth profusion of their locks. On
the other hand. soldiers and postillions
who wear heavy helmets and leather
caps. aud wear them a good deal, are
frequently as bald as billiard balls. -
From these facts Herr Reclaim draws
the conclusion that badness comes
chiefly Of the artificial determination Of
blood to the head, and to the heat and
perspiration thence arising. The result
is relaxed condition Of the scalp and

AFFAIRs MANlTORA.

A meeting of sympathizers with Louis
Riel was held at JACQUES Cartier Hall
square Quebec, at which about 5000 were
present. The meeting was addressed by
Fl. J. Pclletier, secretary Of the committee
aud by other French Canadian gentlemen.
Owen Murphy, ex-mayor of Quebec, also
spoke. He compared the cause of the
half-breedS to that of the Irish, who, if the
proper appeal were made, would, he said,
readily give the half-breeds their support.
The following resolution was then
adopted Resolved That in view of the
fact that all British subjects who are
accused Of criminal oFenses are entitled
to a complete and impartial trial. and to
attain that end considerable sums must
be forthcoming. a public subscription be
taken up, as the half-breeds have not the
means to attain that end. The meeting
was enthusiastic and at its close sub
scription list was opened which was largely
signed.
Lemieux, Fitzpatrick and Greenshield.
Riel's council, are at Winnipeg They will
plead Justification in Riels behalf, as well
as on that of the other prisoners. They will
seek to establish that the halfbreeds had
substantial grievances; that they petitioned
the Dominion government time and again
to have them removed, and that rebellion
was their only resource and they were
freed to adopt it. They will use Hon Ed
ward Blake's recent speech in the house Of
commons on the half-breed troubles to es-
tablsh their plea.
The jury for Riel's trial has been made up
from among the white settlers along the
line of the Canadian Pacific railroad.
Much disgust is expressed by the half
breeds and other sympathizers of the
rebel leader because they are not rep
resented among the jurymen. The trial

DAISIES.

klppling and tossing at every breath
Or the random zephyr that passes by,
| The daisies sway like sea beneath
The deep blue vault of the cloud-iecked
sky;
Over the pillows Of gold and white
Flicker the shadows and fall the light.
There's never a daisy in all the host
was here in the summers of long ago,
And still the fancy that charms US most
Is a haunting whisper, sweet and low,
Stirring our hearts with its tender strain,
Here are the daisies back again"
The same dear daisies we used to Gull
When hands were tiny and hearts were
gay,
Gathering them till our laps were full,
Many and many a summer day,
Softly repeating a magic rune,
bringing the petals To time and tune.
And here in the midst of the white and gold
Old Eden yet ever new,
Is the same sweet story of gladness told
Under the sky so wide and blue,
Her face on the daisies shyly bent,
His eyes on her with proud content.
There may be, far from this hushed retreat
Din and tumult and sOrdid care;
Somewhere, perhaps, is the drums harsh
beat,
And women kneeling in fearful prayer;
There Is only peace where to aud fro
In the silent meadow the DAISIES blow.
There are always dreams in this toilsomc
Pure as heaven and true as God
Who sends us dawns with the dews i'm
pearled,
And scatters the glory of bloom abroad.
May the story that's ever both old and new
For the lovers here be dream come true.

CENSUS or NoRTHDAKoTA.

Maj. Edwards, supervisor of the census of
North Dakota, in the Fargo Argus Of the
18th, said: The returns for Norch Dakota
indicate that in this portion the territory
the population will exceed 10000, while in
1880 the entire territory contained but l35
IL, and North Dakota had 81, 465 of these,
showing an increase of 450 per cent in five
years, while fifteen years ago the entire
population of North Dakota was only 1918.
The schedules from enumerators already
received foot up to 1913, S36 population, and
the rest of Northern Dakota from weekly re-
ports, show population of y, $50, making
a total for North Dakota of 1906. This
summary is liable to vary 1900 or 5000
either way. The six counties of Red river
Nalley show over one-half of the total pop
ulation, the amount being s0,9G2. These
counties embrace about :, 125 square miles,
or one-eighth of North Dakota, while the
fifty other counties have population of
about Il, 764 The following is the popula-
ton of some of the cities reported: Fargo
1891, Grand Forks 6,555, Bismarck 3, l67,
jamestown, 2,3S6, Lisbon, 100, Wah-
peton l,549. Glendale 573, La Moure 35S.
Thus far about /, 123 old soldiers have been
reported, and about fifty who served in the
Confederate army. One feature which is
especially important in sanitary view is
the small number of deaths. Everywhere
| the per cent is very small, but the following
counties report no deaths Foster, Eddy,
Wells, Summer, Mcintosh, Stark, Willard
and Kidder In many counties not even a
case of sickness is reported. The number Of
farms reported thus far are 2l $50 and when
all the schedules are III they will probably
show about 30,656 in North Dakota, against
L. 49, in the entire territory five years ago.
