The Americans Paradise

1t is an old saying that "Good
Americans, when they die, go to Paris ;"
but the majority of Americans, good
and bad alike, in these days OF rapid
ocean transit, don't wait until they
have passed from this mundane sphere,
but embrace the first op ortunity OF
visiting la belle France, and many and
ludicrous are the episode resulting
from the lack of kno wledge of the
French Language and customs, In a
most amusing handsomely illustrat'
ed article, can Americans Mistakes in
Paris" published in Demorest's
Magazine for April, the trials and
blunders of one Americ ar are told in
a highly Entertaining style; and while
one laughs heartily at the visitors
misl1ap, the causes that brought them
about are made so clear that those who
read will be forearmed, on these
special points, at least. when their
turn Comes to visit "the Americans
para,iise." Another illustrated paper
ON travel, "Nileistic Experienc ces," is
equally Entertaining and unique, and
introduces one to many amusing
characteristics of modern Egyptians
and their donkeys. "In the Land OF
Lilliput" is most profusely illustrated
With portraits of midgets who have
been prominent IN public since the
time of Tom Thumb, and the accom-
panying narrative is specially interest
ing. Seven of New York's most
prominent clergymen tell how their
denomination celebrate Easter, and
their reasons for doing so, and there
are several poems appropriate for the
season. The story matter is very
attractive, and every department IS
filed with bright and helpful suggest
ions. This is an especially good num-
ber of that excellent family magazine,
published by w. Jennings Demorest'
at Is East IA Street, New York, only
50 a year.

THE week inst closed has tee

THE week just closed has been a
very active one along the water front.
SAYS the West Coast Trade, and ship
ments from Tacoma aggregate total
slightly in excess of $250,O00, includ-
ing three cargoes of wheat valued at
100000; three cargoes of lumber,
valued at $35 900; one of coal, worth
SIS, 500 and the valuable flour and
general cargo carried out by the last
Northern Pacific liner, Victoria, for
the orient. This total does not in
clude the local shipping or steams hip
cargoes to San Francisco and Alaska
which are far above the ordinary.
The whole number of deep sea ar
rivals for the week comprised fourteen
vessels of which only five were steam
ers; the departures reached thirteen
making the best record for general
shipping of any previous seven days
in several months. March has up to
date made splendid showing on the
whole and seems to demonstrate q
general improvement, there having ar
rived at this port thirty-eight deep sea
going vessels, while thirty-four vessels
have cleared. 1t is probable that the
total month will show larger num-
ber of arrivals and departures than
any month for year past.

Public Schools in Manitoba.

Ottawa, Ont, March 29.-Althougl
full particulars of the action taken
by the Dominion government regard
ing the Manitoba school question have
been before the public for some days
it is only now learned that this action
is not being fully understood. The
Dominion government has done two
things: It has ordered the provin-
cial authorities to re-establish the
separate schools abolished in 1890,
and, failing compliance by the pro-
vince, the Dominion has stated in SO
many words that federal act will be
passed for the purpose of attaining
this object. And it is at this point
that the danger of the situation ap-
pears.
The provinces have always been
jealous of their rights of self govern
ment, and an attempt to encroach on
these rights by the passage Of fed
eral law to accomplish provincial
object will evoke vigorous protest
from every member of the confedera-
tfon outside If Quebec. This outcry
will be especially vigorous in Manitoba
and Ontario, because a federal law
once passed for the purpose of re-
establishing separate schools cannot
be repealed by any power short of
that of the iml erial parliament of
England. Not only this, if the sepa-
rate schools are le-established by fed
eral legislation in Manitoba, prece-
dent will he established which will
permit the Dominion interfering to
prevent the Ontario legislature from
divesting the separate schools OF the
province of privileges conferred by
the later body Il is i~ccnse oi the
far-reaching cpnss4fneD lnvOl> ed
that there l. such hostility Ia the idea
oi only the entering wedge o. federal
interference.
1t is probable that the re-establish-
ing of separate schools will be done
by federal enactment relieving Ro-
man Catholic taxpayers in Manitoba
from local taxation for public schools,
and giving Roman Catholic school
boards power to levy rates on their
own people for the maintenance of
their own schools. Further than this
it is likely that the Dominion govern
ment will retain portion of the sub
sidy payable by the Dominion to the
province, under the terms of the union
and apply this as supplement to the
funds raised by local taxation for scpa-
rate schools purposes. Unless the
present Dominion government is de-
feated and another party is placed in
power that will respect provincial
rights, there will be an upheaval that
will strain the the bonds of confedera-
tion.-P.-I.

SPEAKING of barnyard manure, Pr

SPEAKING of barnyard manure, Prof.
Bailey says there are sound scientific
reasons for the high esteem in which
this manure is held. It contains all
the fertilizing elements required by
plants in forms that insure plentiful
crops and pertinent fertility to the
soil. 1t not only enriches the eiliwith
the nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash which it contains, but it also
renders the stored-up material of the
soil more available, improves its
mechanical condition, makes it warm
er and enables it to retain more
moisture or to draw it up from below.

Blind Cyclers.

''In one of the most aristocratic
quarters of the city, where the gilded
domes of Napolean's tomb and the
twin towers of st. Francis Xavier are
sentinels over historic associations,
lies the beautiful Boulevard des Inval-
ides, a long tree-shaded avenue, where
sounds march in list slippers and the
perfume of Towering shrubs envelopes
the senses, says Outing. One plump
shoulder of this charming drive is made
interesting by q little grouped commo-
tion every Thursday afternoon.
Through an imposing iron gateway,
into the center of the street, is rolled
a curious looking machine of the velo-
cipede order 1t consist of nine largest
sized bicycles joined together in chain
by means of nickle bars, the second,
in front. In it's wake follow eight
young men, of about 19, dressed in a
uniform of dark blue. with gilt but
tons, flat caps and heels, the pan ta-
looms neatly caught around the ankle
by clamps. Neat cuffs and collars and
we'll trimmed hair, show careful atten-
ton to the person. The expression of
the faces is cheerful, almost gay, the
carriage straight and manly, but gentle
and unforceful. This, with certain
timidity of bearing, makes one glance
again to see that the party is entirely
blind! They have walked through
the gateway, crossed the sward, and
reached the queer machine without
guide or direction, and commence at
once that masonic trick of adjusting
the wheel and handle known to the
bicycle fraternity. Chatting and
smiling, each Of the eight finds his
special steed and stands beside it,"

THERE was little reason, in our
judgment, for the late legislature to
repeal the cigarette law. While it did
not fully stop the use of the "paper-
sticks" It's good effects were to be
noticed all over the state; and rarely
were cigarette smokers to be seen. IN
especially good feature was the keep
ing of the cigarette from the mouths
of minors-they we're not so easy to
get. and hundreds of urchins, not
confirmed in the habit, and not
having 80 general an example set
before them, forgot all about that
deadly form of using tobacco. Now
their sale will be pushed all over the
state, and nothing will interfere with
the youth and his cigarrette-except
the price, which is merely nominal.
