honor was given in that city the other day.
In the speech he made, he advocated the
consolidation of New York and Brooklyn.
He said the people of the two cities were of
the same sort, aud had the same social and
business Interests, and under tho circum-
stances he could not understand why one
municipal government would not serve
them better than two. Mr.. Stranahan will

The Annexation question.

Congressman Butterworths joint resolu-
ton providing for the appointment of COM
missioners to conduct negotiations FIR the
annexation Of Canada, has given new life
to the discussion of the Canadian annex
alton question.
There is not much probability that the
resolution will receive favorable consider
alton. The number of those in this country
who want Canada annexed to the United
States is not large, and they are
not aggressive. Indeed, the weight of
public sentiment on this side of the
Canadian border is that this country
has all the territory it needs. Any
way, there is no such anxiety among the
people of the United States for annexation
as would lead them to pay England for the
loss of Canada, or even to assume Canada's
debt.
There would, of course, some benefits
accrue to this country from annexation.
One of them would be free trade between
the two countries, just as there is now free
trade between the states of the union, and
another would be the settlement of the
fisheries dispute. Canada would cease to
be refuge for O certain class of American
criminals, and gateway for Cinnamon to
enter this country in violation Of the
Chinese immigration law.
But all these benefits can be obtained
without political union. They can be So
cured by treaties and commercial union,
and there are good reasons for thinking
that commercial is preferable to political
union. 1t will be time enough to talk 0.
annexation when Canada makes advances.
AS she has more to gain by it than this
country, 1t would be advisable TO let he
suggest it.
The indications are that she is N It think
ing so much of annexation as independ-
ence. Her growth in population is about a.
rapid as that of this country, and her lead
ing men would much rather take the
chances for reaching places of power aud
influence in Canada as an independent
nation than as apart Of the United States.

The Heights of Clouds,

The cloud Illumination caused by the
electric lights Of Detroit and Ypsilanti is
occasionally SO well defined in outline, as
seen from the Ann Arbor observatory,
that it occurred TO the director to inau-
gurate a series Of altitude measurements
for the purpose of determining the
heights OF all forms of clouds visible at
Ann Arbor after twilight.
The central portion of Detroit is about
thirty-five miles from the observatory,
while Ypsilanti is only ffty-oight miles
distant. The azimuths of the two cities
differ about so dogs, so that the condi-
tons for determining the heights of the
upper and lower clouds can always be
made favorable when the atmosphere is
sufficiently transparent. When the clouds
are very nigh, the Detroit illumination is
so well defined that the probable error of
n single measurement of an altitude is
only few minutes of arc. When the
clouds are low, the nearer illumination is
well defined and the farther one either
invisible or coincident with the apparent
horizon. The greatest and least heights
recorded up to the present time are re-
spectively 1850 and 710 feet.-Amer-
lean meteorological Journal.

Registrations and Pulse Heats.

The duty of a medical examination for
a secret society is, indeed, responsible
one. 1t Is observed that some examiners
have favorite numbers, which they al
most uniformly use in making known
the number of respirations and the num-
Der of pulse beats. One examiner al
most always represents the number Of
respirations to be nineteen, while
another generally makes twenty as
the number; another still clings
with persistent tenacity to sixteen. Sim
liar settlements might truthfully be made
concerniag the number of pulse beats
per minute. Some examiners seem fond
of high and others Of low figures. Some
delight in making the standing pulse beat
the same as the sitting pulse beat, while
others make wide difference in the
pulse beats of these two attitudes. There
seems to be no way Of accounting for
these uniformly favorite inclinations ex-
cept that examiners do not in all cases,
as they should carefully and accurately
count the respiratory movements and the
pulse. Physician in Globe-Democrat.

In the splendid Towering time of the
azalia it is interesting to remember the
old story of the Pontic variety. Beneath
the fragrance of these flowers turks a
subtle poison. and it was from them that
the honey was collected by the bees of
Pontus, which, when eaten by the Greek
soldiers in the famous retreat of the Ten
Thousand, produced extraordinary syrnp-
toms of poisoning. Xenophon states
that after eating it the men fell stupefied
in all directions, SO that the camp looked
like battlefield covered with corpses.--

Conlposition of Bridal Wreaths.

The Roman bridal wreath was of YER
bena, plucked by the bride herself. Holly
wreaths were sent as tokens of congratu-
lation, and wreath of parsley and rue
were given under belief that they were
effectual preservatives against evil spirits.
The hawthorn was the flower which
formed the wreaths of Athenian brides.
AT the present day the bridal wreath is
almost entirely composed of orange
blossoms on a background of maidenhair
fern, sprig here and there of stephan
otis blending its exquisite fragrance.
Much uncertainty exists as to why this
blossom has been SO much worn by
brides; but the general opinion seems to
be that it was adopted as an emblem of
fruitfulness. The custom of using orange
blossoms at bridals has been traced to
the Saracens, among whom the orange
blossom was regarded as a symbol of a
prosperous marriage, a circumstance
which is partly to be accounted for by
the fact that in the East the orange tree
bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the same
time.-Demorest' Monthly.
