MONTREAL, Specialize Hon. j. J. C. Alb
bott, leader OF the senate, has returned
from Eng and. 1t was learned from
him chat the reason why the twenty knot
eervice mail steaners promised by tho An
dersons had fallen through was that the gov
eminent would not curry out the under
standing they had with the Canadian Pacific
as to facilities for the conveyance Of passen-
gers over the Intercolonial railway. They
had agreed to grant the Canadian Pacific
running powers at special RACES over this
load from the terminus of the Canadian Pa
! ciilc Short Line at st. Johns, N. B., to Halifax,
ut which port the passengers and mails were
to be landed. This they now refuse to give,
and will only carry passengers at regular
rates over the Intercolonial railway, thus ne.
cessitating chunge Of cars at St Johns. N.
D. As the object of tho Canadian Pacific
Short Line through Maine was to provide
this quick transportation across tho CONT
nent, Sir George stevens and Sir Donald
Smith at once withdrew their names, and the
Anderson syndicate refused to 60 on with the
projected line Of steamers until proper ia
cilities were granted They hold that II the
line Is to be of any service the railway COM
pony should be In position to take passen-
gers through without change of ours or other
deays. and that il the government would
not permit this it would be of no use to pro-
ceed In the matter. This means war to the
knife between the Canadian Pacific und thc
government, and 1t is rumored that tue lat
ter will arrange with the Grand Trunk for
another short line to Halifax aud get another
syndicate to take up the mail steamer serv-
ice. 1t is expected that this will be done by
| selling back to the Grand Trunk that section
Of the Intercolonial between Q uebeo and
Riviere du Loup, or granting them running
powers over il. The Temiscouatta railway,
which runs from Rlvere du Loup to Ed

After Her Young.

A naturalist contributes to Nature,
from the island ofCrete, n paragraph
relating to one of the most interest
ing aspects of bird life. A gardener
caught u young but fully fiedged
sparrow, which lie carried to the
house of a friend three miles away.
He left home early in the morning.
He presented the bird to one of tho
children, and it was put in n cage
and hung ut the window, where it
seemed likely to be contented, losing
its fright after few hours.
Later in the afternoon an old bird
was noticed fluttering about the
cage, apparently trying to get at the
little one, and the young bird at once
became frant ic to get out.
The old birdwas evidently the moth.
err of the young one; the recognition
between them was too cordial to
leave any doubt upon that point;
and when the girl opened the cage,
as she did after q little, they both
flew off rapidly in the direction of
the place from which the little one
had been brought.
1t was believed impossible that the
old bird should have followed tht
gardener. as in that cnse it would
have been seen earlier in the day.

The IIOur of Death.

Many people have curious ideas
regarding the hour of death. Some
hold that the largest proportion of
deaths from disease occur when the
tide Gibbs, while others think that
the same is true in the early hours
of morning. There are yet other
more or less widespread impressions
on this subject, but these mentioned
appear to be the most popular ones.
1t has recently been stated that
from time to time careful observa-
tions have been made in hospitals
which have resulted in showing that
the net of death takes place with
fairly equal frequency during the
~ hours of the day. Very re-
Gently an investigation has been
made in Paris, which showed that
there was q certain falling off of
the number of deaths between Z
and II o'clock in the evening, but
with this exception, the proportion
OF deaths is about even.-Boston
