Stuart Robson tells a good anecdote of
Gen Grant as follows: Crane and myself
were playing some years sgo in well known
managers theatre out of New York The
first act was over and we were chatting in the
wings with our manager, when one of the
bows rushed up to tell Us that Gen Grant and
his family were in one of the boxes. A
flush Of gratified pride mounted to the man
ageriai face, followed by a look of agonized
doubt, as he evidently reflected that perhaps
the general had 'dead headed into the box
"Did you send him box, Robson?" he asked
me. and on my replying in the negative. he
pulled a card out of his pocket, and scrb-
bling line on it, told the boy to take it to
the box office and bring back an answer.
The boy rushed off, his head full of the gen.
eral, and returned in few minutes with the
same card, which he handed to Mr.. Mana
ger. CHASTITY look crossed his face as he
read it and without word handed it to me.
The first line read in the rather shaky man
agerial caligraphy ''Did Gen. Grant pay
for his box?" while underneath appeared:
"No. But my son Fred did. U. S. Grant"
The boy had taken it to the box instead of
the box Office.

Letter Carriers in southern France

Bicycles and tricycles nov help many OF
our rural postmen to SNAKE good time" A.
they say in America, provided their beats lie
in fairly level country, with tnrerable roads.
But am not aware that the letter carriers of
the Fen districts have profted BY the wisdom
of their French bretheren in the department
of Landes that desert region ofreedy marshes
and ever shifting sands, only traversed by
muddy, uncertain roads Year bv year owing
to the prevalence of westerly winds the dues
(as these sand-hills are called) encroach more
and more on tbhe fertile tracts actually over
wbelming houses and vineyards. Here and
there, on the marshv heath or 10 the forests
Of cork trees, are scattered the wretched huts
of the people, who are mostly shepherds,
cork cutters and charcoal burners. One OF
their industries is the manufacture of sa6ots,
or wooden shoes, very clumsy indeed, but
warranted to stand any amount of wear and
tear. But even these active peasants Tod II
exhau ting work alternately to irudge ankle
deep in light, dry sand, or through oozy peat
moss, so they have borrowed a hint from the
long legged water birds that stalk among the
marshes. and have adopted the plan of walk
ing on very lengthy sticks. Thus they get
over the ground at double pace, and being
well raised above the world, they can keep
better outlook for their stray sheep or swine,
or for the position Of such game as may be
worth stalking at leisure. This, then, is the
mode Of travel adopted by the postmen on
the southermost seabosrd of France, while
going their rounds among the remote vii
lagos, conveying the rare letters, which must
he such doubly precious prizes in those lonely
districts.

1t is said that influential residents of
Montreal are permitted to keep cases of
smallpox in their houses without putting
up warning placard. and to walk the
streets freely although fresh from infected
houses. Surely if the officials have any
sense of their responsibility this thing will
stop. It the good people of Montreal
were the only ones likely to suffer from
the prevalence of the epidemic, they
might be as lax as they please about en-
forcing the sanitary laws; the resulting
funerals would be exclusively their own
affairs. But unfortunately this loathsome
disease will not prevail in Montreal and
nowhere else if it gets chance to spread.
The delay of the authorities to make
every one conform with the health regu-
lations is highly reprehensble and a
proper subject of condemnation outside
the Dominion.

nation has more to dread from the growth
Of Russian power than Austria. The oc-

would mean the closing of the mouth of
the Danube to Austria, and the prevention
of the absorption of the Turkish provinces
north of the Balkans, on which Austria
has set her heart, and over which she has
already established protectorate. Eng

The tales of the cable about possible
swap between Germany and the United
States over Cuba and one piece of terri
tory or another have just this vague.
nebulous basis. Germny wants colonies
and the possibility that it might lay vio-
lent hands on Cuba has been bobbing up
and down on the floating current OF Eu-
ropean news for eighteen months past.
On the other hand. ever since Cuban
bonds reused the cupidity and upset the
hopes of spectators. there has been in
Washington, New York and Madrid an
uneasy ring of shady conspirators watch
ful for opportunities to exploit possible
change in the Government of Cuba by its
own independence. by purchase or annex
alton. This element is periodically start
ing rumors, but they are rarely as ridicu-
lous as the idea that this country would
accept the Philippine Islands. which it
would not take as gift. in exchange for
Cuba. which the United States will never
permit foreign power to acquire 7'Tb-
