rha Eu~cnle OF che Present.

The Empress Eugene has settled
down into the solitude which best en-
ables her to endure her memora BILE
and cumulative sorrows. Her tall,
sad figure goes in and out among us
with only the recognition of silent
sympathy. The empress likes to have
communication with as few people as
possible For instance, when she
shops (she does her own shopping1 she
likes to be waited on by the same
salesman always. l was witness OF
an incident of this sort the other day.
The empress walked into a well
known London shop and asked fol
Mr.. -, naming one of the head men.
She was told he was out. whereupon
she remarked that she would cal
again, and went away. l was told
that she certainly would come again,
that MIR. always waited OF her
and that she would not be served oy
anyone else.

Cooking by steam.

Cooking dishes are now made in
England, in which in the boiling pro-
cess the meat does not come in con-
tact with the water or steam. The
edible is contained in a jacket which
in turn is immersed in the outside ket-
tie conta ming the boiling water. 1t
is claimed that by this the nutritious
qualities of meat are preserved moth
ing passing off in vapor. There is
moisture enough in the meat to pre-
vent it from burning and all the
flavor is retained while, again. the
fibre retains tenderness not found
in any other method

Oh nese Onici1' 8.

A Chinese mandarin is not expected
to have any friendships or intimacles
outside of his office, and he cannot en-
courage visitors within its precincts
without laying himself open to a
charge of favoritism or corruption. If
the inhabitants of district wish to
show their appreciation of an Of
ficial's administra ton and testify to
his probity, the most effective way in
which they can do SO is to wait upon
him at one of the city gates as he
makes his farewell exit and beg the
gift of the oficial boots, which are
thenceforward preserved in some tenn
pie as public property.

Stockholm just as dinner was be ng

this the king went into the kitchen
and interviewed the cook. This diplo-
matte proceeding ended by the cook

university was first founded, has been
dropped As compensation large
amount of study in English literature
must now be done before student

courses are announced in the scientific
department.. Work in electricity

NOTHING uNustlAE.,
That Yarn About Lightning GAxortlnS
on ahipboard.


on ehipboard.
When the CAPTAIN of the steamship
ALBANIA, from Dundee, came into port
few weeks ago and told a yarn about
d ball Of fire doing insane things about
the deckso Of his ship, there were some
people who heard the tale with scorn,
an1 9th ,rs who wrote poetry about It.
And now here colnes another Dundee
skipper who tells of a similar electric
display.
He is Captain Lord, of the British
steamer Croma. which lately arrived
in New York from Dundee. Captain
Lord says his ship encountered heavy
weather from the start. Seas beat
high. and the barometer dwarfed it
self to 2S.45.
That night there was a succession OF
hail squalls, and the captain asserts
that during each squa1 every mast
head. yard-arm and gaff were ablaze
with conposants. or ST. Elmo's lights
as mariners prefer to speak OF them
They came AMI went as the squalls
blew and subsided. and, as these LASTED
throughout the night, the ship wa
| several times illuminated with dancing
tips of fire.
The ship during this time was driv
ing before the gale with engine
stopped. She was lightly laden, ant
the seas were swinging SO high that i
was found necessary to stop the en-
gines to check the frightful racing o
the propellers. Waves con stantlj
dashed over the ship. and one OF tn
vessels crew was badly injured by be
ing thrown to the deck.
Toward morning the wind fell ligh
and then came in ftful gusts. 1hel
the lightning got in its play. and TO
an hour or two the ship was in a pei
feet blaze of sheet lightning.

To Connect Ch.c.go aud the OcO1n.

Engineer A. +. Sutton of Chicago
is the inventor of a scheme, that ap-
pears plausible, for connecting Chica-
go with the seabcard. lie plans to
deepen the Welland canal so as to per-
nit vessels of twenty-two-foot draft
to pass a point near Thorold, Ont, and
from there to cat through to the Nj
agara river at Il point just below the
rapids. Then he would deepen the
St. Lawrence river and the Canadian
channels along it to point due north
of lake Champlain. Here he would
cut a channel south to that lake, and
from its southern point dig canal to
TROY or Albany. The Hudson river
! would give th.m egress to the ocean.

Dickson, who by profession, is at the
head of school of shorthand, and in

will no longer be at the mercy OF the
ice man and the ice man will no longer
be compelled to listen to the COM

Terrible Fate.
There is no shadow of doubt but
that Engineer Edward T. Swopes who
met with a terrible death in the en- b
of his dummy engine at Philadelphia
lately, felt that he had q forewarning
of some dire calamity. Il came to him
thirty-six hours before it occurred.
lie intended to heed the warning by
not running his car that day, but
SHOOK off the feeling as foolish SUI
Lerstition.
Swope said to his wife on the morn
ing of the previous day: ITO morrow
will be nv last dav on the dummies.
Asked what he meant the engineer
turned it of by saving pleasantly: 1t
will be Saturday, and mean the last
day of the week"
Saturday morning he told his wife
| that he had had a tie rible dream on
Thursday night. and feared that it
boded no good to him. and that he
would not go to work that day. He
went out and bought turkey fol
their dinner, and when he brought i
home he said: 81 don't see why
should be such a Ounce as to worry
about that dream, and I will go ant
take nv car out" which he did. Twt
hours later his dead body was carried
home.

horses, penetrated the cab and disem

and he was killed almost instantly.

How Toronto Meets Telephone Monopoly.
Less important than the Toronto
street railway franchise, but hardly
less significant for the principles in
volved. is the franchise under which
the municipal authorities permit the
Bell Telephone company to do bust
ness. The existing agreement was
made in September, 1891, for period
OF five years. The Bell Telephone
company was permitted TO operate in
Toronto on condition that citizens
should pay no higher price than s25
year for a telephone in dwelling
house, s45 being the maximum price
fer an instrument in q business house.
Strict requirements as to underground
wires in the central parts of the city
were made, and in a variety Of ways
that need not be specified the city re-
tanned authority and control over the
situation. Finally, the Bell Telephone
company agreed to pay to the city
treasury per cent of its gross re.
ceipts. promising also to maintain
the most efficient possible service
with the latest and best instruments
and methods In the city Of New
York We pay s34o per year for tele.
phone In business Office, and $3.50 for
private house-every precaution being
used TO compel the casual user OF q
telephone TO patronizc . pay-station
at the rate of Is cents for FIVE min
utes. New York is an extremely COM
pact city. and the average telephone
wire is short There is one reason,
and one reason only, why telephone
service in an American city like New
York costs several times as much as
the same service. rendered by the
same American Bell Telephone COM
pany, costs in Toronto. That reason
Is that the citizens Of Toronto have
been protected by Q business-like city
government II New York city pos
,essed even the rudiments Of an eff
:ient and decent city government 1t
would be easy enough within a
reasonable period Of years to reduce
tbs local transit systems. the tele-
phone system, the lighting system,
md the public services in general to q
basis as favorabl rs Toronto has Sc
