trated in the case of [ le steamer Winches- ter, which reached Dunkirk from New York little while ago. She encountered fearful weather, and much damage had been done to her boats and upper works by the tremendous seas which came aboard before her commander had recourse to oil. After that the crest of the waves were broken and harmless, and the vessel shipped no more water. The captain used a contrivance for dripping the oil, which proved superior, he says, to the bags which are generally employed. It consisted of cast-iron cylinder, weighing about forty pounds, and containing from two and a half to three gallons of oil. The flow was regulated by means of tap, to which an India-rubber tube, aquarter of and inch in diameter and eight feet long, was at tached. The pipe was put over the side and the tap opened, thus enabling the oil to drip steadily and act rapidly. The Win chester is provided with two of these machines, which were used during fifty hours. The total consumption of oil amounted to fifteen gallons.
 Archdeacon William D. Reeve, who is to be consecrated bishop of the Mackenzie river diocese, has been missionary among the Indians and Esquimaux in the Maeken- zie river district for twenty-two years. He has made journey of 300 or 400 miles in a canoe to neighboring stations every sum- mer; has walked on snow shoes for days during the winter, drawing his provisions on sled in Indian fashion; has adopted the coarse food of the natives and acclima- tized himself to their inhospitable region. The Esquimaux, he says, are in many re- spects superior to the northern Indian tribes. They are not numerous. but their numbers do not seem to be diminishing. They escape the terrible famines that occa- sionally carry off large numbers of Indians, partly because the food supply of the Els quimaux, consisting of fish and seal, is less precarious than the moose and reindeer on which the Indian depends. The Esqui- maux are also more provident, and they lay up a stock of food for a chance period of scarcity. They are more industrious than the Indian, and show greater ingenu- ity in the manufacture of tools, weapons and other articles.

HARVaRD INGENUTry


 There are more ways than one to do some things. Harvard university has jus. illustrated this truth. Chief Justice Dud- ley left sum of money to the university, the income of which was to be used to secure an annual lecture on the 'errors, idolatry, tyranny, superstition, ,usurpation, heresies and crying wiokedness in high places of the church of Rome." This is pretty plain language, but the university corporation, in order to secure the income from the money and still keep within the traditions of the school, has decided to provide for an annual lecture which shall attempt "to soothe and allsy the animosi- ties and bitterness of the past and deal with these questions in broad, schol- arly and magnanimous spirit" This is rather neat. The Worcester Spy says concerning the matter: That there is a chance here for the objection that if the university cannot use the money in accord ance with the testator's desire, it should not use it at all, is true; but the corpora 
 Judge Dudley desired the truth to be made known concerning the attitude of Rome to the rest of the world, and that in the broader spirit of the present day he him self would not have wished the lectures to follow the lines which he laid down, and in following this idea it will undoubt- edly be very generally commended, though their proposed course would open the door to such legal proceedings as were instituted in the case of Andover and threatened at Union theological seminary, where it was alleged that the teaching wasnot in accord with the express purpose for which the money to support it was given.
 Money is money, and any way to get it is the idea nowadays.

Notice.
THE WATER QUESTION.


 The Board of Aldermen acted on the water question last evening, and though it's action was not in accordance with the report of the Water committee it was, we believe, more in accordance with the judg- ment and wishes of the taxpayers than the report was. The truth is, we believe, that most of the taxpayers in New Haven have no desire to have their taxes added to in order that the Water company may be bought out. They have no desire to see the Water company, or any other of the corporations that serve the public, unjust ly treated or in any way robbed. We have no idea that the loose talk which has been heard during the last few months concerning these corporations is approved by any great number of those really inter- ested in New Haven's growth and prosper ity. If it is the city is in bad way.
 The aldermen who last evening stood up for the interests of the taxpayers and for fair treatment of a company which de- serves fair treatment are entitled to the commendstion which their action will re- ceive. There have been quite enough vicious attacks upon New Haven's most useful corporations. Their rights, as well as those of the people, should be re- spected.

that we were taxing ourselves by placing a duty on Canadian barley, because we couldn't raise our own. A great barley syndicate at Chicago has purchased 250, ,000 acres of land in North Dakota on which to raise barley for malt purposes.
 There has been change. The Ger man demand for our canned and pickled meats increases, and the use of our pork, bacon, lard, etc., is also increasing rapidly. The Berlin chamber of commerce reports that 'the importation of American beef, canned and pickled, and of beef tongues, increased from 19, 5206, ,ssO pounds in 1889 to PAS, ,826, ,440 pounds in 1890, being a total increase of 4s,64O, 1920 pounds, or about 25 per cent, in a single year. The report of the chamber of commerce says: "These articles rightly deserve the high est regard, on account of their good qual- ity and cheapness."
 W. F. Burns, of San Francisco, who was in Balmaceda's secret service, says the Chilian dictator's ambition was to unite all the South American States under his rule. MT. Burns says the Chilians, who are styled "the Yankees of South Ameri- ca" are honestly convinced that theirs is one of the greatest and most warlike na- tions in the world, and that their histories contain only accounts of the two wars in which the Chilians came out victorious, that with Spain in 1872 and that with Peru.

Burns says that he is most democratic in his manner, and very popular in Buenos Ayres.
