THE DAILY
CANADIAN POLITICS.

There is much of interest as well |
as of Importance in the news re-
ported from Canada in our various
exchanges.
Under date Toronto, Feb. 3, the
Empire, the organ of the Dominion
Government, announces the dissolu-
ton of the House of Commons, and
the issue Of writs for a new parlia-
meDt, the result of the elections
will not be known until March 9th.
The reasons given on behalf OF
the Government for this appeal to
the country are the following: The
Dominion Government has through
Her Majesty's Government made
proposals to the United States for
negotiations with view to the ex-
tension of her commerce with that
country. These proposals have
been submitted to the President for
his consideration, and the Dominion
Government is of opinion that as
any treaty arising out of these ne
gotiations must be ratified by the
Canadian parliament, it would be
better that there should be par
Lament fresh from the people,
rather than one near its period Of
expiry.
The Premier, Sir Jno. Mac
Donald, and probably the Hon. Mr..
Foster, will at a great meeting at
Toronto, explain the nature of the
proposals to the United States.
Sur John expects a majority in the
new house of go to 20 votes on this
particular issue.
With regard to the decision OF
the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of the British
schooner w. P. Sayward (the
Vancouver, Id, sealing schooner)
the Deputy Minister of Justice foI
the Dominion says: 1t seems to
be assured that applicants for 6
writ of prohibition will get deci
sion from the Supreme Court OF
the merits of the case. This shows
that the Canadian Government hai
been justified in the confidence i
reposed in the highest judicial tri
bunal of the United States, that i
would not allow political considera
tons to influence it in the slightes
degree when the rights of litigan
were involved"

Prehistoric Skeleton with Caudal Ap-
pendages.

A discovery which will probably
prove OF immense interest to ethnolo-
gists has been made at the little
hamlet of Sinaloa, Mexico, within the
past few days while breaking ground
for large coffee plantation, which is
being established by an English syndi-
cate, says the Philadelphia Times.
The find consists of thousands of
skeletons either of large apes or Of
prehistoric human beings of very
low order. If the remains are of apes
they are of gigantic size and of a
variety no longer extant, while if they
are of men the men were provided
with distinct caudual appendages,
very thick and short, and curled up
like squirrels. That they are the
skeletons of apes can hardly be
doubted, judging from the arms, which
reach nearly half foot below the
knee, and the thumbs, which are also
abnormally long and curved, with
exceedingly sharp and powerful nails.
The feet, too, show that they were
intended for climbing rather than for
walking and are also provided with
claws and prehensile toes of unusual
length. 1t is probable that the large
number of skeletons found are due to
n battle between two bands of the
animals having taken place at this
spot, which is further evidenced by
the number of broken skulls and other
bones among them and the fact that
several Of the skeletons were found
clinched in deadly embrace. No
weapons, however, were discovered,
but as these were probably of wood
they have perished in the course OF
time.
The work of searching for other re-
mains still goes on, every hour seeing
hundreds of more detached fragments
or occasionally whole skeletons un-
earthed. 1t is calculated that over
100 entire ones have already been dis
inferred. A few of the most perfect
have been sent to the British museum
and Others will be presented to the
Smithsonian Institution by the owners
of the land.

The Extent Of Will Power.

An inventory of the effects of Cap
tain Renton, the blind lumber king,
shows that the personal property of the
estate consists OF 249 shares of the cap
ital stock OF the Port Blakely Mill
Company, corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of
California, and doing business in the
State OF Washington, and having its
principal place of business at Port
Blakcly.

Sound Il Gray's Harbor Railroad &
Transportation Company.

Five twelfths of the ship Topqalant.
Five-twelfths OF one third of the ship
Southern CHIEF.
Five-twelfths of the bark Il. X. Ham.
Five twelfths of the steamer PohtkoE
sky.
Five-twelfths OF the ship Prussia.
Fivetwelfths OF tiiteen-sixteenths of
the ship Mrincibie.
Five-twelfths of the ship TheobdH.
Five-tweliths of nine sixteenths of
the schooner CourSer.
All of the foregoing personal prop
erty being of value of 81 100000.
As soon as Capt. Renton's will was
admitted to probate it was announced
there would be a contest. No matter
how forceful and powerful man may
be, his will power does not extend be-
yond his death. The only solution to
the difficulty of having will carried
out is to make an ante te-mortem DISPOSE
ton of effects. This is never apt to be-
come a general practice, because the
man OF large capital, in active business
life, is like a general of large army: {:
To cut off anything from his base of
supplies is to limit his field of action
and the battle of business is unending,
the combination of forces innumerable.

Minneapolis Larger than Paris.

~. 9tlbcIt SHAW III entury.
The existing Paris covers 1929
acres, or about thirty square miles
while metropolitan London, with
i,O0o,oOO population, contains lis
square miles, and Chicago provide an
area about as extensive for 100000
The average distance from the center
OF Paris to the circumference is only
three miles. Minneapolis, with only
10000 people, has a municipal area
more than twice as large us that of
Paris. Almost the entire population
OF Paris is housed in the flats OF tene-
ment structures averaging from four
to five stories in height.
According to the revised figures of
the census of 1856 there were nearly
10000 houses in Paris, and the aver
age number of people in house was
about thirty. In the old arrondisse-
ments OF the inner Paris there are
probably about 10000 houses, accom-
modating about 100000 people.
For total contract in the plan Of
house construction we have only t.
cross the channel and to examine
London, where we find an average of
about eight persons to a house for the
whole metropolis. But the people of
Paris are better housed, all things
than those of London. A
OF 100000 within circle
whose radius is only three miles is
certainly very dense, but it must be
that Paris is 4 many
storied city.

President Newell's Advice.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
While the Vanderbilts secure the
services Of able men and pay them
well-the salaries of their presidents
running from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year-they still run their roads accord
ing to their own ideas. A pretty good
story is told of John Newell and Henry
B. Ledyard which illustrates this. 1t
was soon after Mr.. Ledyard's promo
ton to the presidency OF the Michigan
Central, when he began receiving Or
ders from New York which, in his
opinion, encroached on his preroga-
tives as president. He hunted up
John Newell and talked the matter
over. Blunt John listened attentively
and then said:
SALARY comes regular, doesn't it?'
"Yes," replied Mr.. Ledyard.
"You don't have any complaint as
to the way you are carrying those in
structions out or the way the road is
run, do you?"
"No complaints; everything love-
ly."
"Well, who owns the road any
hows" remarked Mr.. Newell.
"Why, the Vanderbilts," said Mr..
Ledyard, in surprise.
"Well, then, let me tell you some
thing. You just let the owners run
their property. They pay us more
than any other railroad owners do for
the same service, and as they are
rather nice people why not do as they
want us to-"

OLD HICKORY ON THE TARIFF.
Some Sound Talk About Taxes in Gem

from the real payer in the price Of the

>Th- attention of the pcnple -as- -snlaIlsr
sums demanded from them directly

imposed on goods enhances by so much
the price of the commodity to the con
sumner, and a. many OF these duties are
imposed upon articles of necessity
which are used hv the great body of
people, the money raised by these i'm
posts i drawn from their pockets.
"CongrcS~ has no right under the
constitution To take money from the
people. unless it is required TO execute
some one oi the specific powers en-
trusted To- the government. and il they
raise more than is necessary for such
purposes it Is an abuse of the power of
taxation. unjust and oppressive. 1t
may, indeed, happen that the revenue
will sometimes exceed the amount an
ticipatcd when the taxes were laid.
When, however, this is ascertained il is
easy to reduce them and in such case
it j. unIucStionably the duty of the |
government to reduce them, for no cir

~ these principles appear to be, you
will yet find that there is a constant |
effort to induce tie general government
Ia 90 beyond the limits of its taxing
power, and to impose unnecessary bur |
dcns upon the people. Many powerful |
interests are continually at work to pro |
cure heavy duties on commerce and To |
swell the revenue beyond the real ne |
ccssitics Of the public services; and the
country has already felt the injurious |
effects Of the combined influence |
They succeeded in obtaining IA tariff of |

Ia collect an eXtravagant revenue and |
to burden you with taxes beyond the |
economical wants OF the government is
not yet abandoned. The various inter
csts which have combined together to
impose heavy tariff and to produce
an overflowing treasury are too strong
and have too much at stake to surren-
der the contest. The corporations and
wealthy individuals who are engaged in
large manufacturing establishments
desire n high tariff to increase their
gains"

The Hen and the Farmer
New York World.


A hen once overheard her master
praising the song of the nightingale in
the most extrayagant manner and say
ing to his wife:
"If we only had bird which could
sing like that, l would admire him
from daylight to dark"
"That's a pointer for me, Old
Huckleberry, chuckled the hen as she
snatched another potato-bug, "and
you'll hear something drop before long
Next evening. as the farmer and his
wife sat on the doorstep and hoped the
nightingale would come again, the hen
flew into tree and made heroic at
tempt to warble as she had heard the
bird do.
Good lands, But what i'll Goshen
ails that ere hen ?" exclaimed the
farmer, as he jumped up.
The hen posed anew and sent forth
fresh clack, clack, clack.
"The Internal idiot is neither hen
nor bird, and therefore Of no good ex
cept in a pot-pie," growle,, the farmer
and bringing out his shotgun, he pu
an end to- her life.
MORAL:
Many good farmer has been spoiled

How a Diamond Cuts Glass.



1t has been ascertaincd by a series
of experiments that diamond does
not cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart, so that a
continuous crack is formed along the
line OF the intended cut. The crack
once begu II, very small force is neces-
sary to carry it through the glass
and thus the piece is easily broken off.
The superficial crack or cut need not
be deep, depth, according to fine
measurements, of a 200th part of one
inch is quite sufficient to accomplish
the purpose, SO that the application Of
much force in using the diamond only
wears out the gem without doing the
work any better.
Numerous stones, such rs quartz
and other minerals, when ground into
proper form, will cut glass like a
diamond, but are not so valuable for
that purpose, lacking the requisite
hardness and soon losing the sharp
edge necessary to make the operation
success.
