Canadian Exhibitors SuIky.

HAMILTON, Ont, Aug. 6.-Dominion
Commissioner Larke for the world S
fair is here arranging with the leading
manufacturers for exhibits at the fair.
Mr.. Larke says that the strained rela-
tions between the United States and
Canada are adversely affecting the
volume of Canadian exhibits. Repre-
sentatives of many of Canada's leading
industries are of the opinion that in
consequence of them Canadian exhibits
will not receive fair treatment and
have positively declined to exhibit

THE DAY OF SAIISFAC ZION.

BY THE LATE REV. HoRATUs BoNAR, d. D.
When shall wake on that fair morn of morns,
After whose daWnIng never night returns,
And with whose glory day eternal burns,
/ shall be satisfied.
When shall see thy glory face to face,
When in thine arms thou wilt thy child embrace,
When thou shalt open ali thy stores Of grace,
/ shall be satisfied.
WI eli | shall meet with those whom l have
loved,
Clasp in my arms the long removed,
And find how faithful thou hast proved,
shall be satisfied.
When this vile body shall arise again,
Purgcd by thy power from every faint and stain,
Delivered from all weakness and all pain,
| shall be satisfied.
When skall gaze upon the face of him
Who for me died. with eye no longer dim,
And praise him in the everlasting hymn,
| shall be satisfied.
When shall call to mind the long, Ion past
With clouds and storms and shadows overcast,
md know that am saved and best at last.
| shall be satisfied.
v hen every enemy shall disappear
The uHbellef, the Darkness and the fear;
" hen thou shalt smooth the brow and wipe the
tear,
shall he sati fed.
When every vanity shall pass away
And all be real, and without decay,
In that sweet dawning of the cloudless day,
| shall be satisfied.

Running to Father.

have often seen little child following
his parents in the fields, and stopping pow
and then to gather a few fowers. He
looks up and sees him at distance; the
little creature runs and gets up to him
again, afraid be should be left far away.
Thus the Christian, while gathering few
flowers from the world, suffers his God to
be often at distance from him, but the
moment she parceives that he is alone he
runs to reach his Father, friend and best
protector : Rowland Hill.

argued that Muta NJ ge probably mao no

This question was set at rest by S 5anlay

VIENNA, Aug. CDR. Frey, an expert
in matters pertaining to cholera, writes
to the newspapers that in the expert
ence of himself and other doctors the
notion prevailing among ignorant per-
sons that cholera patients were often
buried alive may be attributed to the
fact that three hours after death the
bodies of victims of the scourge become
distorted by muscular contractions,
often lasting for hours.

A PROBLEM SOLVED.

The country appros ching Lake Albert
Edward AMI up its west coast was very
mountainous. Lofty hills followed the
shore line, rising to a height of six and
seven thousand feet. The lake, therefore,
seemed 10 be entirely surrounded by noun
talns. They are wooded to their SUBMITS
and even the PERCEPTIONS portions are COW
cred with verdure. Ga the lower slopes
myriads of parrots and chimpanzees were
found.
! A river empties into the southern end of
the lake. 1t has width of about IT'S feet,
comes from the territory Ruanda, is known
as the Rutshurra and is undoubtedly one
OF the ultimate sources Of the Nile. The
Pororo and the Butumbi, two very popul :
Gus tribes, we've found by Emin on his
northern journey. The greater part of
the country south of the lake is very I'M
iulatlng and is covered with tall grass.
but forests are sparse. The geological
formation is chiefly granite and seuistose.
DR.. Stlhimann writes that the geo
graphical results were highly satisfactory,
rs Emin had with him scientific instru-
ments and made the most careful observa-
tons TO ascertain his geographical posi- :
lion and other facts. His heights were
measured by the anerold barometer.
1t he's fallen to Emin, therefore, to solve
one OF the last remaining problems con-
nected with the Nile. When Stanley first
visited the African lake regions he reached
the precipitous shores of the unknown
lake, which has now been explored. He
saw only so much of it as he could de-
termine through his glass from single
point ON tie coast.
at the northern end of the lake he
placed on his map considerable area
which was supposed to be an island, but
what proved to be large peninsular jut-
ting INTO the lake. He did not know
whether the lake was connected with the
Nile or Congo system, and geographsrs
we're soon busying themselves with this
problem.

ploring Albert Nyanza, found a big rivea

Il have observed says an old minister,
shat marriage, especially among the
working classes. is greatly affected by the
state of trade. When trade is good mar
riages increase, and are less frequent in
times of commercial depression. This fact
indicates that the romance of life among a
class who are generally regarded as reck-
less in the matter of marriage, is, after all,
restrained by the dictates OF common pru-
dence. During the Lancashire co ton fam
inc, early in the sixties, l had n church in
Dundee. The failure Of cotton occ"sioned
an abnormal boom in the jute trade. and
Dundee was the principal emporium for
the import and manufacture of In flexible

ginning of each term in which Jury cases

My friends often come to me and ask
me to have them released from Jury duty.
l tell them that in the first place ] have
no such power, and in the second place
they are making mistake in wishing to
escape serving. | don't need to say any
thing about the duty Of every citizen in
this respect, but tell my friend taat the
time spent in the courtroom will by no
means be wasted They will gain a knowl-
edge Of law, especially if in criminal
court, that will be very helpful to them.
They will learn some Of the tricks OF
swirdlers and thieves, and viii be better
prepared to guard against them. Then
the service will give them view of the
criminal classes that they would never
get otherwise. They would become more
charitable ut seeing the atmosphere of vice
and crime in which so many gre reared.
and at understanding the Temptations
which prove too much for men of good
regulations.
In the courtroom they can study human
nature Of a kind with which they never
come in contact elsewhere. In snort, Jury

waiting, and the Inconvenience it often
causes might well be forgotten n the ad-
