G teacher IN one of cur public schools who

was called one of its members, O boy, handed
the professor piece of rock candy and
gravely asked him what it was. 'It's e
pieco of crystallizcd quartz" said the pro-
fessor with a hasty glance at it. "But,"
said the boy, astonished ut the success of his
trick, and wishing to carry it further, ~ can
scratch it, and he dug out piece with a
pin. "Ohi then it is piece of alum" said
the salary kicker, and the class kept ON study

NEw YORK, Sept l7.-An Ottawa spe-
sial TO the San says that Sir John A. Mac
Donald In an interview Saturday, being
asked what would lie the policy OF
Canada, replied:
sThe Canadian Government will await
deyelopments in the United States. BY
this mean that the only question from
which trouble can arise relates TO the
fishing. The fishing season has Just
closed, aud il will not open again until
May. In other words 1t will be fully
eight months before the United State
will have any charge to bring up that
question again. Until that time we VIII
do absolutely nothing unless President
Cleveland makes some unexpected move,
which is not probable, even II the Sem
ate should grant him the asked-for pow
er. Nothing can come Of all the present
discussion, therefore, for eight months,
and before the expiration OF that time
things may have assumed quieter
aspect. "The feeling toward the
United States" continued Sir John,
"is not untriendly, but it is to be
remembered that we have given much to
the States, one thing after another, under
several treaties. We do not feel that this
can last forever. We can go no further,
and now the treaty has been set aside, the
whole matter falls back on the treaty OF
1878 as far as the fisheries part OF the dis
pute is concerned The convention oil
1915 has been admitted by both govern
ments as a recognized, indlsputaDle
basis. There can be no further discus
sion concerning it. Diplomacy has ut
terly failed to convince the United States
of the advisability Of adopting the more
recent treaty"

LONDON, Sept. 1L-Although Major
Bartelott's death has naturally intensified
speculation ne to Stanley's safety, the
prevailing opinion Is hopeful. The pub.
lie generally regard the absence OF news
from the great explorer Us a favorable
omen. The fact Of Bartlett's death was
made known in Europe without much de.
lay, and 1t is difficult to see how
stanley's fate, it be similar one,
could be concealed so much longer.
1t is easy TO account for absence of in-
formation as TO his movements, for he
