 Pretty nice. One of the bridesmaids oi an American girl married in London re- gently gave @ forget-me-not luncheon in honor of the prospective bride. Forget. me-nots were arranged in the shape of hearts and true lovers knots upon the table, and all the decorations were in the color of the blue flowers. Each guest was provided with a cluster of the blossoms to wear. Forget-me-nots were the principal flowers at the wedding, and the bride pre- sented to her bridesmaids pins in the form of the flower in blue enamel with dia- mond dewdrop glistening in the center.
 Haven't we enough trouble in this coun- try, and are we about to be attacked by the editor of the Lindsay (Ontario) War deri This is the way he talks: If we must fight, why, as we'll now as again. The whole Yankee nation is disorganized; capital versus labor, negro versus white, Chinamen versus all others; Irish, Hun gsrians, Poles, Italians, Germans, all for eign, are in most instances, as managed in the United States, dangerous elements. That nation, with population of 65, ,OOO,- 900, could not put as many good fighting men into the field ss the province of On tario alone Three-fourths of their troops would be wanted at home to keep the hordes from robbing their homes.
 Archbishop Ireland says concerning the matter of public and parochial schools: "There is to be no union of church and state, but there is to be no hostility be- tween church and state-they must move on parallel lines. How to bring about in society an amicable cooperation without throwing the one across the orbit of the other may require an effort and spirit of on both sides, but the results to be obtained are well worth the effort This is the archbishop's point, and in the following sentence he indicates the method: "Just little yielding of our notions 30 as to meet halfway the notions of others; just little mutual good will, little par ing down of prejudices and of mistrust of others; just this much and the evil is remedied."

 It would clear away much misconcep ton if the popular body in cities, insteat of being spoken of and thought of as { local legislature, could be looked upor and considered as board of directors One of the most important grants where in the powers of such a body in cities Seem to pass beyond the functions of ( board of directors is the right to adopt ordinances which are enforced by the DO. lice; but even as to this power it is to be borne in mind that city ordinances have no original authority. They are constant. ly declared invalid by the courts because they contravene statutes of the legisla- ture or deal with matters not covered by the grant of power to the city corporation. The differences to be drawn from this dis. cussion are two. First, that the whole question as to what ought to be the busi hess of the city and as to the best method of conducting this business if fairly open to discussion; second, that the question is one involving good judgment only. Il does not involve the the liberties of the people or touch any of the inherent rights cf citizenship.

TRUE DEMOCRACY.

The New York Sun is trying to make it as easy for Cleveland as it can. It says that he was baf1ed and disappointed by the popular acceptance of his message in 1887 as @ challenge to free trade battle He tried to impose his own interpretation on the St. Louis convention, and again on the Chicago convention, but in each was defeated by the sentiment aroused among the masses of the party by the crusade which had been preached in his own name and of which they were determined he should be the leader. This is good, but it doesn't get the acceptance the Sun would like to have it get. Brother Watterson arises and says that it is very absurd. ''Mr. Cleveland has no place in the Demo- cratic party except as the recognized head and-front of Tariff Reform. His popu- larity and power are the direct emanation of his leadership of the policy of a tariff for revenue only. That omitted, and there is nothing left of him, for great majority of the party do not agree'with his 6nan- cial views or his views on the civil service" !" It is further pointed out that in his Mad ison Square garden speech MT. Cleveland planted himself squarely upon that plank, and MT. Watterson thus defines the true Democratic position: Go to, MT. Dana, go to! You cannot beat the ticket and you cannot stop the onward tread of the legions of Tariff Reform-of Free Trade, if you like that better-and when we get the power, as please God we shall, we mean to knock McKinleyism as high as kite, and make tariff for -revenue-only, such as was done after Folks election in 1S44. Put it in your pipe and smoke it. MT. Dana. Tell these "protect;on Democrats"-if you can find them-that their room is better than their company. They are not Demo- crats at all. They are Republicans, and, if they be honest men, they will vote for Harrison. We don't want them.
 MT. Dana is shrewder than MT. Waiter son, but MT. Watterson has the best of the argument. The Democratic platform means just what he says it does.

The Czar,s Yachts.

Emperor Alexander's yacht. Poliarnays Zvesda, or Polar Star, is the largest pleas. ure boat that has ever been built. We might say that it is 8 marine palace. It is three hundred feet long, draws nineteen feet, and is forty-nine hundred tons bur den. The crew numbers three hundred picked men, commanded by Prince Chak
 hovskoy. The service is innumerable. An idea of it may be formed by one single item-an orchestra of fifty musicians. al ways ready to charm and shorten the lengths of the journeys. But it must be said that these are singularly abridged by the extraordinary speed of this splendid vessel. The Polar Star travels ordinarily at the rate of eighteen knots an hour On her trial trip she made nineteen and 6 half. She made the recent trip iron Cron, stadt to Copenhagen in thirty eight hours
 The apartments uf the czar and the em- press are of course on the stsrboard side, the place of honor. The two bedrooms are en suite. The first things that attract attention are the height of the ceilings and the immense size of the windows. and then the incomparable brilliancy of the wood work. In the czars study, or cabinet de travail, there is a writing desk that one might take for beautiful casting of tor toise shells. It is of maple and marvel ously polished. A few family photo graphs, a copper image of Saint AleIan- der, and an image of Christ, form the only decorations of the bed chamber. The same simplicity in .he rooms of the czsr. ina. The walls and furniture are of mo, lesquine; empire design on clear ground, parallel bands supporting crowns.
 But the favorite yacht of the imperial family is the Tsarevna. which may be translated either ss the daughter or the fisnce of the czar. This yacht Is com manded by Captain Friedrichs. If the Polar Star is a magnificent palace, the Tsarevns is retreat. It is made small purposely for the admission of intimate friends only. There is no room in it fol suites. It is on board this vessel that the czsr, the empress and children take refuge in the summer months from the annoy ances of imperial grandeur. The dining room Is divided into two pieces. Conse quently it is also the parlor or piece de re
 union. Az all the family are fond of mu
 sic, the little piano is always open. The old music scores, ranged upon little shelf | are we'll worn and thumbed. Sometime, the czsr, when in a pleasant mood, takes part in the concert. He plays the flute not as s yirtuoso, but without pretension | It is not every cZar that can be a TaffAnel

TO IMPROVE THE SALOON.

Rev. Dr. Rainsford is not alone in his idea that it is better to have "good" liquor saloons than bad ones. The bishop of Chester also believes in having houses of refreshment where people may wholesome ly meet, and, while meeting, enjoy them selves without unpleasant restrictions. He does not see why the State, through it's local authorities and instrumentalities, should not with firm and liberal hand undertake the provision of houses of re- freshment for the people, in which alco- holie beverages, though frankly recog- nized, will be deposed from their aggres- sive supremacy and supplied under less seductive conditions. His plan would be to provide comfortable, spacious, we'll ventilated accommodations; temper ance drinks of every kind brought we'll to the front, invested with prestige and supplied in the most convenient, at- tractive and inexpensive way; the pecuni- ary interests of the managers made to de- pend entirely on the sale of eatables and non alcoholic beverages; alcoholic liquors secured against adulterstion; newspapers indoor games and, where practicable, out door games and music provided; while the mere drink shop, the gin palace and tho "bar" would be utterly abolished. The present body of liquor sellers would b. bought off at fair prices from further prosecuting their work, many of them be ing employed in the remodeled publi' houses. He does not expect that this plar will be immediately adopted; but he be heves that in England there is real drif of opinion toward lessening the tempts tions to drunkenness, and at the sam time not to curtail opportunities of reason able refreshment and social intercourse.
 All this is interesting, but it doesn' seem to us that such an attack on the alec hol habit would be very effective. Me, who drink rum in business way don mind much about the trimmings" An,

Moss, shrubs and berries grow in grea, profusiOn along Yakutst bay shore. and over the mOraine regular trail was formed as the large brown bears crossed and re- crossed in search of food and berries. The glacial stream divided into one thousand branches and formed An ideal delta, depos- iting silt and glacial debris. Our course took us over a mountain spur and across an interior basin about fifteen hundred feet in height, filled with numerous lakes and swsrming with mosquitoes. Indeed, there were such myriads of the latter that imagination suggested that each flake ot snow had concealed within it 6 germ, and thus the mosquito had generated. Here il is that sometimes huge brown bears, driv' en to fury and desperation by these tor menting little beasts, finally tear theil flesh and die in agony.

DIR. j.. NJ. Buckley, editor of the
Christian Advocate Of New York city,
said the object of giving laymen repre-
sentation in the conference was not 10
increase the size of the body, but 10 sc-
cure the assistance of the laymen in the
framing of the laws of the church. Had
the laymen been given n fair chance to
exercise equal power with the ministers?
DIR. buckley thought not.
Dr. Lewis Curtz, of Chicago, said that
IL was simply question of privilege for
the laymen and not of compulsion. II
they wanted TO sit by themselves the
ministers could not do less than TO grant
their request.
+. II. Root, of Buffalo, a layman,
spoke in opposition TO the separate seat
ing scheme.
Ex-Gov. Evans, of Colorado, stated
that somebody had evidently been
scared before they were hurt There
seemed TO be little apprehension that
they were not all members of the same
church. lie could not understand why
the ministers think il wise to condemn
thing just because It was proposed by
the laymen of the conference and hoped
the ministers would see that there was
danger in voting against the resolution.
After long wrangle, during which
many amendments and counter motions
were made, the conference decided To
allow lay delegates who so desired TO
select seats separate from the minis
terial delegates. On motion of DIR. Pull
man a section of the hall was set apart
for the lay delegates and then the choice
Of seats by lots was commenced. This
lasted until 1850 in the evening when
the conference adjourned before the
drawing of lots had been completed.
