The Mayor hesitates to make nominations for
the Excise Board. The excuse is that the
Aldermen would not confirm any one he should
name. If that is his only reason, would it not
be well enough to send in the names and let
the Aldermen take the responsibility of declin-
ing to confirm themf These are days of humil-
iatiOn for the Aldermen; perhaps IN their
chastened state of mind a majority of the
Common Council might for once act virtuously
and without regard to their pockets or their
party OF course if Mr.. Grace has any idea that
the Assent bly, will pass, within day or two,
the Senate bill giving him power to appoint
these Commissioners regardless of the Alder
men, his delay is readily explained. But we
shond be panied to suspect the Mayor of
Interior motives.

Did any Secretary of State ever get himself
into a more ridiculous position than Mr.. Bay
ard is in now 7 On March 81, as pointed
out yesterday the State Department informed
the American fishermen in Canadian waters
that they could enter any Canadian port they
pleased " for the purpose of shipping a whole
cor part of a crew (; but the right docs not
"carry with it any other privilege" Later IN
the same day the fishermen were told that they
could only enter for L" shelter, damages, pur-
chasing wood or obtaining water" SO the
Department was informed" Now, it seems,
neither proposition stated by Mr.. Bayards
assistant was correct. Mr.. Frye asserted yes
terday in the Senate that under an English law
of 1S49, our fishermen can enter Canadian
ports for any purpose except piracy. This law,
he says, stands regardless of the Treaty agreed
to thirty-one years before. The Canadians
themselves yesterday began to hedge on
their previous position. Possibly the State
Department will change ITS views again to-day
At least Mr.. Bayard should sec that the British
Minister is not good adviser

cold winters night to draw up the will of
an old farmer who lived some three miles

time arrived at his destination. When
he entered the house, he was immediate
ly ushered into the sick-room, and he
even requested to be supplied with pen,
ink and paper. There was none in the
house The lawyer had not brought any
himself, and what was he to do. ANY

THE BEST IN LIFE.

The Wealth that proves the best for man
Is that contentment sweet,
Upon whose presence there's no ban.
No blistering wrong or cheat;
That dazlzes not the worldly eve,
Like lily gotten gold,
Nor leaves him, as the time draws nigh,
The future to unfold
That Beauty's best whose sources spring
Within the heart that's pure;
Whose fountains into being bring
The glof'ies that endure;
The Strengthening sympathies that wake
Hope in enrth's fainting ones;
Whose constant deeds of mercy make
A life Of benisons.
And Love is best that deeply flows,
And owns no narrow bound;
That spreads It's perfume as the rose,
To gladden. all around:
That makes its home a Paradise,
With beauty and content
While Truth grows brighter TO the eyes,
And peace and joy are blent.
-- William B. Davidson.

Origin of oats.

De CaudoIle states that oats will per-

Of the plant he locates in eastern Europe
and Tartary Cats played a less import

than either wheat, barley or rye. An

country. Oats did not come into i'm
portant use till the stronger civilization
Of northern Europe found them TO be
necessary article of diet. In our own
country, oats stands the third cereal in
importance. The crop OF 1884 was 5s3,
623, 600 bushels. against 185, 100000 IN
1874 Over eighty per cent. Of the crop

European ingenuity in the construction
of destructive instruments was perhaps
never so active as at the present time,
and past successes only stimulate to still
greater achievements in this line. In
England and other countries, in order to
overcome the rifed mortar-a short gun
with relatively short range guns have
been invented having length of fifty feet
and range of eight to ten miles. The
thickness of solid armor plates has also
been increased until the Italian Ironclad
Italia, has thirty-six inches of armor on
hefsides and carries four one -hundred-to
guns, which throws shells of two thou
sand pounds distance of ten miles. Not
satisfied with even such monstrous guns,
the same government contracted two
years ago with Krupp to build for them
five forged steel breech- loading guns of
125 tons each, fifty-fve feet long, and a
projectile Of 2, 500 pounds.

A social oracle says; Gan women
should aim at being bright converse
tionalists, not startling or wonderful, but
amusing, refined and especially light of
touch. Long stories are usually intoler-
able bores, and a serious, slow, heavy
way of looking at matters in general is
an infiction. Grievances of any sort are
best kept hidden; a sprightly acquaint-
ance with the affairs of the day, fiatter-
ing anxiety as to others opinions, alb
sence of slang or mannerisms, of boastful
egotism, or self-depreciation, tact, tact,
above all, tact-these make the agreeable
hostess, the woman one wishes to find at
home in ones round Of calls"

Two weeks later she opened her eyes
and looked around her in her wondering
way. The first thing she fully knew was
that she was lying i'll in bed in herboard-
ing house attic. The next thing she re-
allied was scent of heliotrope, which
drew her attention to the fact that there
were beautiful flowers in the room. The
third and last thing was the face of
Duval Frazer looking down upon her.
Then she again lost consciousness. But
it came to her the following morning,
and he was there again.
And many other mornings he was

The Russian papers announce the
emancipation of the Russian serts. 1t
appears that the peasants on the estates
of the foreign converts in Transcaucasia
were until quite recently the serfs of the
dioceses of Jerusalem and Constantine
pie This abnormal situation has at
tracted the attention of the authorities,
and since last summer the enfranchise-
ment of these serfs has been in progress
in the governments of Tihis and Kutais.
The Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre
possesses more than 5000 serfs, and the
Patriarch of Constantinople, as represent
ing the convent of Ivesky on Mount
Athos, has about 500 more.

A paragraph recently printed in a New
York newspaper said that the first labor
strike in this country of which record is
preserved occurred among the factory
girls of Dover, New Hampshire, in 1897.
The girls paraded the town with a flag
and brass band, and the employers
quickly yielded to their terms. In reply
to this paragraph correspondent of the
New York Commercial Adcertiser writes
that the cordwainers (shoemakers) of
New York city went on strike in Novem-
Der, 1900. They. were indicted for con
spiracy TO hamper trade and extort
money, and were arraigned before Mayor
De Witt Clinton and Sessions justices
Mesier and Carpenter, composing the
Mayors Court" Mr.. Sampson and Mr..
Golden defended them, and on the other
side were District Attorney Riker and

turned a verdict Of guilty and the
strikers were fined one dollar each, the
