Tho Pope and French Politics.

The defeat of eight reactionarles in the sen
atorial elections in January is another proof
of the growing attachment Of France TO re-
publican Institutions. Much Of this she owes
to tine Pope, who was again insistent upon the
Catholics to be loyal to the republic. His
Holiness has apparently to pay for his repub-
licanism. For some time now Vatican ac-
counts have shown deficits at tho rate of
k20 900 a month; and the falling of in in

Not that one should insist upon meet
ing-houses, but one might dispense
with an overplus of saloons and bill
lard halls. They keep down the ad-
vancement and prosperity OF a small
town us whisky retards the growth Of
puppies. The postmaster said SO, and
what he said went, because he was
neither hypocrite nor fool. The
small towns name was set out on d
three-foot board on the station ver-
anda. and when the train slowed up
passengers could spell out the
legend, only five letters, "Doone."
Every nation under heaven, al
most, had n representative in Doone
Norwegians and Swedes burned
charcoal; Chinaman had laundry;
a Jap who despised the Acknowledged
washer-man, and was aided in his
scorn by his Western wife, kept a
tailor shop; German had one saloon,
u Scot, a Celt and Dago three more.
During the excitement of fire in
Doone one heard quite a cosmopolitan
chatter, each foreigner speaking out
Of the fullness of his heart In the Ian
guage of his native land. They were
receptive people in Doone; every new
fad in religion, provided it were crazy
enough, every new comic song, every
dancing school step (they danced con
amore In Doone), every stranger was
cordially welcomed and adopted.
There were more divorced than single
folks in Doone and about six
married couples. Never In such
q small town were collected
such number of shady, reckless,
demoralized and generally hopeless
folks. They talked in brazen and
strident manner about the political
and financial affairs of the nation, the
scandals of divorce courts and the
prize ring. The postmaster read
them all the details Of the Panama
scandal, and they set upon the only
Frenchman in town and rode him on

SAFETY ON THE WATER.
Tho Inspectors Departments Claim c.
Efficient Work.

Nearly 700, 900, 900 people carried on
American steamers during the last fiscal
year and only 255 lives lost, of whom
but 90 were passengers, is tho promi-
nent feature of tho new annual report
of Supervising Inspector General Du-
mont of steam vessel inspection service.
This is smaller mortality among the
same number of people, we have no
doubt, than If they had all staid at
home and went regularly to bed, to say
nothing of travelling by rail. 1t proves
again what we have often remarked
that travel by American steamers under
the system of inspection now enforced
is the safest that could possibly be de-
vised. Thirty-five of the SO passengers
above referred to lost their lives in one
disaster-the sinking Of the tugboat
James D. Nicol off Sandy Hook ON a
Sunday in June last, and General Du
mont states that this disaster was solely
due to tine fact that the tug was being
navigated by person wholly inexpe-
rienced.
IL is further stated in the report that
of the nearly IL, 900 boilers inspected
accidents causing the loss of life have
occurred to but / 5 of them, defects in
upward of 700 being detected and reme-
died; also that of 100, 274 new life pre-
servers examined only 64 were found
deficient. This statement shows that as
great>care is taken in the inspection Of
equipments to prevent disaster as in the
machinery employed to run them and
the men who man them. In regard to
the latter no less than 3S applicants for
masters and pilots licenses were re-
jected during the year on account Of
color blindness, although 1,544 passed
the tests. All of which goes to show
that the travelling public and the steam
vessel fraternity as we'll have every rea-
son to repose confidence in the inspec-
tion system as at present managed -

Norway Making Arrangements to Supply
London With Mutton.
London will shortly have the advan-
tage of another meat supply-this time
from Norway--which, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfeoting ar
rangements for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead, as it can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision of the
Stavanger Agricultural society, and the
results were SO satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be re-
peated on larger scale.
It appears that 80 sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattened
for week or SO until they turned the
scale at from 115 pounds to 1873 pounds.
They were then shipped to London,
where they realized an average price,
after deducting commission, of about
$7.50 and as the total outlay had only
been about Sc. so per head there was a
net profit of nearly 81 on each animal.
Forty were also sent over with the
skins. hoofs and interior intact, but ON
these three was an average loss of 10
shillings per head. partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing sec x.
Nevertheless the Stavanger society
has come to the conclusion that the
business promises to be remunerative,
and the English people have thus an
additional guarantee of an adequate
supply of mutton.
