some technical points. and will doubtless be passed by the Assembly, as it has already been by the Senate.
 An admirable charity is that of the Salva- tion army in London, which has opened 8 restaurant, where meal may be bought for 8 farthing. The small coin pays for bowl of soup or half loaf of bread and two farthings secures cup of coffee or cocoa and 8 slice of bread and jam. Thus for about two cents wholesome meal can be bought. Threepence brings meat and pota- toes and halfpenny dish of rice.
 According to Professor Gould's investiga- tions, it appears that aerial. telegraph wires on poles transmit electricity at the rate of from IA 900 to 16,000 miles per second, and that the velocity of transmission increases with the distance between the wires and the earth or, in other words, with the height of suspension; and sthat subterranean wires, like submarine cables, transmit with reduced rspidity Again, while wires suspended at 8 feeble height are known to transmit signals at velocity of some 12, 900 miles per second, those that are suspended higher give a veloc- ity of from 1000 to 24,000 miles. Wheat. stone's claim of assoc miles in his experi- ments appear never to have been confirmed.
 Sir Andrew Clark, who has just been elect ed president of the College of Physicians, London, owes great part of his success in life to his intimacy with Mir. and Mrs Glad stone After the epidemic of cholera in 1866 Mrs. Gladstone established an orphanage and convalescent home at Woodford. It was in her visits to these institutions that she became acquainted with Dr. Clark, who was professionally attending them. The &C., quaintance thus formed ripened into friend ship. MT. Gladstone placed himself in Dr. Clark's hands, and during the Liberal ad- ministration of 1867-'74 the Premier's physi- elan became the fashion. His influence over Mir. Gladstone and the il1ustrious patients absolute trust in his skill and judgment are very remarkable. Shrewd observers would say that they are in some measure founded on the circumstance that Sir Andrew gener- ally ~prescribes what he thinks his patient would like, and that though generally ops posed to violent exercise and the severest of censors as to the pleasures of the table, he puts Gladstone to fell trees to his hearts con- tent, and encourages the use of that port wine of which MT. Gladstone is so fond.

OLEOMARGARINE.

a notice just now. The recent decision of the Supreme court did not discuss the good or bad qualities of oleomargarine. It simply said that the Pennsylvania legislature had the power to pass Q law forbidding trade in the article, even though no deceit be used in the trading. Upon the same day Recorder Smyth of New York gave decision which will be a warning to the dealers in New York who are inclined to sell oleomargarine for what it is not. The Recorder said: ''I am going to send every one of these cart-grease butter dealers to prison now. This business must be stopped. have warned them, and no more pleadings of ignorance of the law or of the character of the butter will be re- ceived" The New York Court of Appeals in construing the New York statute said: Assuming % that is would be a vio- lation of the constitutional rights of the people to prohibit them from manufacturing or dealing in it {oleomargarine) for the mere purpose of protecting the producers of dairy
 butter against competition, yet it cannot be claimed that the producers of butter made from animal fats or oils have any constitu- tional right to resort to devices for ths pur- pose of making their product resemble in appearance the more expensive article known as dairy butter If it is innocuous,
 those making and dealing in it should be
 protected in the enjoyment of their liberty
 in those respects, but they may legally be re- quired to sell it for and as what it actual ly is.
 The Pennsylvania law forbidding the sale of olemargarine as oleomargarine seems too severe The New York Times puts the case fairly when it says: Oleomargarine rests on an equality with false drugs or adulterated wine or cottonseed lard. When they are sold for what they are, any possible harm is at the
 risk of the consumer, and any fraudulent sale of them is properly State prison offense; but to make honest trade in oleomargarine penal is like placing the tax on whisky too high. The law will defeat itself by it's ex- travaganee In policy, principle and work ing the New York law does not suffer by comparison with the Pennsylvania statute. When dishonest dealers are sent to prison no more can be done If moro is attempted either poor people will be supplied with bad
 article by cheats who put the risk of jail into the price of their goods, or they will be de- prived of an article of food certainly no more injurious than what is daily dispensed under the excise laws.

 Waiter Powell in the Toronto Week.
 And now, inasmuch as truth is stranger than fiction, I want to tell you something I heard as I came from Partners the other night, which strikes me as being one of the most curious of the many curious facts which are ready and waiting for anyone at- tentive enough to listen to them, in every street though which we pass, at every corner at which we cross. About forty years ago Mrs. Munroe, childless widow with a large fortune, took house in Curzon street for the season, and wanting companion, bethought her of her niece Jessie, the eldest daughter of a clergyman in Scotland, young lady only just out. The girl was written for, came and proved great suceess, for she was all excellent dancer, exceedingly pretty and blessed with 8 good digestion, and eonse- quently with good temper.
 It was after the May drawing-room at which she had been presented, and at the ball at S. House that eaptain-shall we call him Nemo-meeting her for the first time, fell desperately in love before the end of the evening. A few rides in the early mornings by the Serpentine, 8 few .'dIums" in Arling- ton street or Park lane, the opera twice, the theater once, endless dinners, routs and balls, and then, just at the end of the season, he proposed and was accepted. The lover hav- ing little money, Mrs. Munroe generously agreed to give her niece an allowance, and insisted on the marriage taking place in town, instead of upsetting the quiet little manse close to the loch on the west coast. So St. James, Piceadilly, was filled with the elite to view the ceremony one early autumn morning, and Miss Jessie, in orange blossoms and Brussels lace, sat in the old bsrbaric fashion through the long wedding breakfast, afterwards, in flounced gown and round cur tained bonnet, going with her bridegroom for the honeymoon to the Italian lakes. Captain Memo was sailor and soon had to start with his ship for cruise of fifteen months. I think there was talk of his wife joining him, but the station selected was an unhealthy one, so after all she re- mained in England with her aunt to look af- ter her. Letters were to be very regular and the time would soon pass.
 When the letters were all written and re- ceived, and the very last of the fifteen

months had dragged itself away, the day ar rived on which Jessie was to meet her hus- band at the railroad station; no one was on the platform but Mrs. Munroe, looking white and strange, who gave him note to read, and then took him to his pretty little empty house from which the inmate had flown only that morning to Paris. The poor lady wept, asked that her care1essness might be forgiv- en; she had been duped, deceived and would never see the wretched girl again. Captain Memo was quite gentle. Yes, he would try to dine with her that night, and they would talk over what was best to be done; had this this man 8 wife already? Well, matters should be arranged somehow, and now would she be good enough to leave him alone? Then he went into the morning room where Jessie's miniature still hung on the wall; and an hour afterwards when they went to call him he was found dead with bullet through his heart, clasping her portrait and her cruel letter in his cold fingers. There being no World or Truth in those days, the scandal was quietly hushed up.
 After time Mrs. Nemo appeared again in London, but none of her old friends noticed her; her own people sternly cast her off. Mrs. Munroe answered no appeal and for mally refused any communication, and fnal- ly when she died left not penny of her for- tune to the erring niece who had so grossly deceived her. So year after year came and went and matters grew from bad to worse. woman educated so long ago was not so likely to be able to help herself is the Girton-trained girl of to-day with. her prac. tieal common sense, and it became more and more difieult-for her to keep her head above water. Within the last ten years she has found occupation, however, and if you will come with me some afternoon can show you where a small, spare woman in neat bonnet and shawl, with fine China-blue eyes and int-white hair, diligently sweeps a crossing in the very heart of her old neighborhood, which small woman is Mrs. Munroe's niece, the girl who was presented to the Queen, who danced at s. House, who was married at St. James, Piccadilly, and had an Italian honeymoon.
 She refuses all help now from anyone. How do know this? I was told the story by & connection of her husbands. Do 1 think it's true? Emphatieally, yes. There are as queer skeletons in every cupboard, all most of every house where one calls. and be- hind the brick walls of an ordinary common place street terrible tragedies are acted every day, every hour, the plots of which are to the full as distressing as those of any melo- dramas you like to name; with this excep- tion, that on the boards the wicked are pun- ished, the innocent are rewarded, while in real life too often it is vice versa.
