 David Powell, the newly appointed gov
 ernor of the Bank of England, is a much travelled man, with literary and artistic
 tastes. He is member of an old bank ing firm, and has for three years been Dep.
 uty- Governor of the famous institution over which he now presides. In this time he has made himself extremely popular with the staff of that establishment. He is described as tall and remarkably dis tinguished looking man of about fifty, with well-cut features, large dark eyes, and al- most white hair, beard and moustache.
 There were a,4O4, 900 fewer pairs of gloves imported into the United States during 1891 than during 1890. The growth in population in this country precludes the idea that there were any fewer gloves needed to supply this market in 1890, when 1 1,095. 900 dozen gloves were imported, than in 1891, when the importations aggregated only 893, ,000 dozen. The constant tend enoy is to increase the sales of gloves an- nually. The difference is one of the prac- tical results of the Mckinley law. The additional gloves needed have been sup piled by glovemakers of the United States.
 The rapid emigration of the French Can adians to the United States is disturbing the managers of Canada. At various con- centrating points the Canadians are leaving at the rate of 300 to 2,0O0 every week, chiefly from the parishes below Quebec And most of them have tickets for the New England States. One man reports that he found that 50 per cent. of the let ters at one postoffice contained money from Canadians this side of the line, sent to en- able the recipients to make the journey. The people to whom these letters were sent were mostly the older class of farmers, and the money was from the younger class who left their Canadian homes some time ago. In vain is employment offered on extensive public works and in vain do the French priests beseech the people to stay; the temptation of the States is too great.
 A recent decision of the Supreme court of Massachusetts gives expression to the views frequently held by courts as to work that may properly be done on Sunday. An assignment, which was really in the nature of a will, was made on Sunday by woman eighty years old, who was taken to the hospital suffering from severe in- juries. She transferred her property, con sisting of some bank accounts, to trustees, who were to support and maintain her, and the balance was to be given to the as signee. An endeavor was made to set aside the assignment on the ground that it was illegal because it was made on Sunday. The court says that in several States in which secular labor and business are for bidden on Sunday the execution of wills on that day has been upheld Under the the Massachusetts court it was thought that it was an act of necessity if not of charity for the woman to make the assign ment A large number of other acts have been held not to be necessarily in violation of the Sunday laws, as to carry the mail to walk or drive for ..SEcrrcur roaEsrEns. home a cook, to csrrJ May lo.-The annual IT drive one's master to church, Order ot Fan elderly man who could not shave himself, to shoe horses used in transporting the mail when 8 failure to do the work would delay to the mails, and to re- pair the highway under certain circum- stances
