TORONTO ideas on the subject of drunken

TORONTO ideas on the subject of drunken
ness are evidently to the effect that there
must not he any harsh interference with the
personal liberties of the subject. An able
journal of that city commits itself to the
declaration that "any half-decent drunken man
should be taken home or given over to his
friends, not put in the cells" OF course it
follows that wholly decent drunken man
should be permitted and encouraged to whoop
it up. OF course an indecent drunken man
must be restrained; but Toronto opinion evil
IDENTIFY leans to the conclusion that no man
who appreciates good red liquor can be

CONCERNING that report that the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has bpycotted the Roach
ship yards and that, therefore, the English
syndicate which bought that property has been
unable to sell its stock in London, Mr.. Roach
denies that the Secretary of the Treasury has
boycotted the yards; that the English syndicate
has found difficulty in selling the stock; that
the English syndicate has tried to sell any
stock; and finally that the yards have been sold
to an English syndicate or anyone else. In
view of these corrections we are compelled to
regard the report as somewhat inaccurate.

THE complaint of that Western young
man who had more money than brains. that he
spent $50, 900 in New York in year, and no
one knew he was there" inspires our New
York contemporaries to construe it as compli-
ment to the size of the city. That is not the
only way of viewing it. On the contrary, it
contains the decided suggestion that there are
SO many of that class of fools in New York
that one more or less is not noticed.

THE man who stands on his dignity tires all

DOES change bring absolute rest to all? Un-
doubtedly fresh scene is helpful. 1t breaks the
monotony of life-the life visible. changeless.
It brings new sights, bluer or darker skies,
stranger faces fresher fancies All these con-
tribute toward the relief of the mind. which,
through constant contact, has been rubbed and
re-rubbed by every link in the chain that binds
1t to monotonous existence. But do all of us
profit by shifting the scene. the charm of
change: Hardly all. The man OF business
strolling through the splendors OF art or nat
ure admres, to be sure, but longs for peep
into his ledger. The speculative man-the man
who longs to turn everything into gold-stands
upon the shore of the charming lake and figures
out how much he could make by placing on its
unrutfled bosom line of excursion steamers.
The mechanical mantle man who lives to
overcome Natures dividing lines by his genius
-gazes across the deep passes in the mountain
chain and plans mighty bridge to span it-a
monument to his mighty mind. The railroad
engineer looks down to the base of the snow
topped hills and in his minds eye sees the
oke from the hidden locomotive, then aloft
to watch it mingling with the mists that shut
out the glittering ice crowns. The man of the
pen-he who is mind-sore and brain-fagged-
a spot made sacred by olden memories. The
weary artist strolls through inspiring places,
nor rests, nor tires. stealing scraps and longing
for the old studio to place the finished
whole upon the waiting canvas. So it goes.
The brain and the mind stick IN the same old
groove The life we have lived follows US
everywhere. Spite of will they toll on-Dever
changing, ever treading the old paths. To be
sure some there be who get full rest-the
A., uhorn a,,I
at all times. Change of scene to them is but
pastime, monotony. But the active mantle
man who has fought and won, he of the wax
ing mind, the tireless brain, sees the eyepleas-
ing pictures through the mist of thought-a
mist that gathers and thickens into veil
which completely obscures and finally obliter-
ates the impressions caught in the chase for
change. So we drop back into the old groove,
the old life. When we solve the mystery we
