A sunbeam tI6cR

Every one who has visited Paris knows the little cannon in the middle of the Palais Royal, that goes oif as the sun reaches its meridian. Generations of easy going Frenchmen have set their watehes--not always with accuracy by the detonaton. This institution dates back to the year l7S9. The solar clock was one of the features of the circus which held the ground now oc- cupied by the well-known garden. The authorities respected tho clock when they laid out the garden, and re- newed its mechanism from time to time Nothing indeed could have been sim pier. Tho cannon was loaded, and over the toueh-hole hammer hung, held back by piece of horse-hair. A lens above caught and focused the sun shine. When the sun crossed the me ridian the horse-hair shriyellsd, up, and the public knew it was noon. An old gunsmith gets 100 francs a year for keeping the clock in order, and sup. plying the daily ammunition.-Ex.

To-day Sept the French Repub- lie comes oi age It eeiebretoa it's twenty first birthday under rathcr ominous circumstances, to be sure, with the war hounds uneasily baying in their kennels, but still, with much to be thankful for. Not only has no other French Government since the Revolu tioh lasted so long, but no other period of twenty-one years since French his- tory began has passed with such un- broken peace and prosperity saying nothing, of course, about the disasters that immediately followed the birth of the republic, and for which it was not responsible. The country has four ished, wealth has increased and in spite of extrayagant expenditure and burdonsome taxation the people are more prosperous than in any other great country of Europe.
 The Republic has passed the perils of childhood, but it has one more test to go through before it can be counted as one of the permanently established governments of the world. Can it stand war? Can it survive either victory or defeat? Would it be mas tered by new Napoleon in case of success or oyerthrown by 8 raving mob in case of failure? These are among the questions that make French patriots look anxiously at the condition of the rickety peace of Europe Examiner.

At a Sydenham, Ont, revival meet ing, au exciting end ludierous scene followed an exhortation by J. r. Fra Mer, a revivalist, who sailed into the prevailing mode of female dress, and said that women are born beautiful and die nis-shapen because of the wearing of corsets. Frasier is an earnest and powerful speaker, and his words created excitement among the women present. Throw off the accursed invention, " he cried, "Tbrow it of, and go to God as you left him. Burn them, rather than burn yourselves in everlasting fre." The suggestion struck respon. siye chord A fire was lsindled. Burn them, hysterieally cried fem mine voice in the crowd, and pushing and panting a young woman of twenty five forced her way to the center near the bonfire. She was tugging at her dress. There was n sudden gleam of white shoulders in the glare of the fire light and she flung her corset into the flames, saying she would die as God had made her, and not as she had made herself.
 Her example was contagious, and in less than half an hour not woman in the crowd wore corset and nothing remained in the blaze but mass of groteaquely twisted corset steels amid which tho flames playfully hiekered, The excitement was 50 great and the nervous strain 80 intense that several women grew Iaint

 The New York Herald's correspon- dent at the City of Mexico sends the following Much indignation has been caused here by the publication of re- ports in papers of the United States to the effect that the people of this coun- try were dissatihed with the govern ment of President Diaz, and that it was not at all unlikely that a revolt against his rule would sooner or later take place.
 I know of my own knowledge that these statements are absolutely fake, that the country is prosperous and peaceful and more than content with President Diaz's administration of it's affairs. The reports to the contrsry that are published in San Francisco, Kansas City and St. Louis originate mainly from misled libelists or dis gegntled politicians, who hayeno credit ot'standing of any account, and whose base ambition and i'll will arc well fAoNn here
