Notes. s.,
new French cabinet has been formed
by nj. Loubet, a moderate Republican of
only fair abilities who has not hitherto
held conspicuous place in French pol
itlcs. The ministry contains the we'll
known names of DE Freycinet as minis
ter OF war, Ribot as minister of foreign
analrs and Rouvier as minister of finance
Nj. Constans, the former minister of the
interior, and one of the strongest men in
France is left out altogether. 1t is not
likely that the new cabinet will last
long. The elements that compose it are
too diverse, and the wrangling legisla-
ture which has ceased to be trnlv renre-
sentative of the French people cannot be
depended upon to give firm support to
any government. An early dissolution
and an appeal to the voters by President
Carnot is highly probable.
Readers of Dickens remember wei! the
vigorous publication of the tender youths
confided to the guardianship of Mr..
Squeers; the regular dose of birthstone
and treacle served relentlesslv and with
out discrimination. To-day in England,
at Harrow, the boys are doctored en-
masse. Each one is served with two
grains of quinine at morning aud night.
as safeguard against the influenza.
Ihe drug Is administered after PRAYERS.
and the ceremony has thus a double
solemnity. AS the boys go out in single
file they are met by the matron, who
gives each one his choice of powder or
pill. The choice is made. the drug is
swallowed, and so the line is gradually
shortened.
Governor Tuttle and staff seem to be
able to extract great deal of enjoyment
out of their little dash into Washington
life But the New Hampshire contingent
in the Capitol city it one that is calculat-
ed not only to inspire esteem for the
Granite state but at the same time to
make visitors feel at home in their new
surroundings. Sons and adopted sons
of New Hampshire are to be found In
every department of the government,
and they give added emphasis to the dec
laration OF Webster, that the soil of that
state. though rocky and rough, was
suited to the production of men.
The record of fire losses for the week
ending February 26, as reported by the
Standard is something fearful to con-
template, amounting to So I67. 900. The
losses since January l, 1892, equal SAL
55l.OOO; the average loss per day *
$3.50, 900; the estimated loss for the We.
at this ratio is $140, ,525 900. The ra,es
o1 insurance have been advanced from
I0 per cent to 80 per cent in differ.,De
parts of the country. Vermont has Rad
her share of sufft ring in this line, and it
is sincerely hoped that 1892 may show a
decided decrease in this great fire waste.
A mob of 1000 people, principally So
