The price paid is said to have been S. loo, 900.
The tonnage of Canadian sailing vessels

IL is not so much today, the tonnage at the
close of 1894 being placed by the Government
Blue Book at SGg,624 tons, represented by
7.2i5 vessels. OF this total number, which is
by no means small, l,64O are steam craft,
with tonnage of 2iO,9OG tons. The reason
for this decline, according to the Toronto
Monetary Times, is largely supplied by the
fact that the wooden ships, which were so
freely built in the Maritime Provinces and
carried Canadian products to every foreign
country, are being superseded by those of iron
and eel construction, built on the Clyde

be, in the first place. interesting because it
has shown that its leaders are equal in
strategy to- European captains-hence the

watch the country becoming, like another

army OF 100000 mem. great military

the Sudan, and nobody knows how far
down the Nile. To myself it is already of
great interest, if only on account of that
very pretty story about the first King Me-
nelek. He was the son of Queen Sheba.
He paid a visit to Jerusalem, where Re
hoboam, then king. entertained him and
gave him an exact copy of the Ark of the
Covenant. Only, let us whisper, at the last
moment Isaac, the priest, exchanged the
copy for the original and carried off tho
latter to Abyssinia. where it can still be
seen. Is not this interesting? am quite
sure that, when there is a railway up the
Nile and hotel like the Metropole at
Magdala, there will be personally conduct
ed tours to see the Ark of tho Covenant.
A smaller copy of the Ark is placed in
every Abyssinian church.

Tho homo of the mustache ia in Spain
After the Moors first invaded the countr,
the Christian and Moslem population be.
camo so mixed that it was difficult to saw
which wera Moors and which were Span.
iards.
Tho Spaniards then hit upon a means
by which they could at once distinguish
their brethren. They did not shave their
lip any longer, and they allowed a tuft OF
hair to grow below the mouth, so that
their boards formed the rude outline OF 2
cross.
Thus the mustache became a symbol OF
liberty and raternity.-London Tit. Bits.
