some favor. This was why Hugh John
Macdonald, son Of the great leader of
the conservative party, gave up his
seat as member from Winnipeg, ac-
knowledging in so many words that
he did not care to represent constitu-
ency any longer for whom he could
obtain nothing. simply because they
were regarded as sure for the party.
Sir Mackenzie Bowel even fiouted
the conservatives of Winnipeg when
they demonstrated with him on the
subject, and dared them to vote for a
liberal. They answered by sending
Joe" Martin, author of the Manitoba
Education Act of 1890, and a strong
liberal, as their representative to sue
coed Hugh John Macdonald. Mont
real followed suit by electing James
McShane, a former member of the Mer-
cier Cabinet, to succeed J. j. Curran,
a conservative, whom Bowel had, ap-
parently in a spirit of bravado, ele-
waited to the bench to give the voters
of Montreal chance to declare them
selves.
Another and very significant feature
in the result was that the vote in the

The Price OF Peace.

The incomprehensible sum of
f14O, 100000 is annually offered as a
tribute to enduring tranquility
among the European countries. 1t
costs that to maintain peace, and the
figures are continually swelling. The
largest fund expended yearly by any
country on behalf of its army is that of
Russia, the latest military budget of
which amounted to f42, 100000 This
fund went to support, in a maze of or
ganization and government. the mon
strous army of 3,077,000, which serves
as neuclus for the more gigantic
force OF 12,91S,000 in time OF trouble.
The Germans come next with their ex-
penditures. that their army of 5S4, 734
may be ready for emergency, when the
force can be increased to 3,700,00
France expends f24,500,000 to keep
524,76S men in training ready to be
augmented into a force of 100000.
The cost of Great Britain's army is but
Ell, $780, 00 which is an economical
sum, considering that at home and
abroad the British have on their pay
rolls force of S65,421. Spain main
tains an army Of $4,000 at cost of
f5,O00,000 per year. although since the
start Of the war in Cuba that sum has
more than doubled.-London Daily

Large Steamships.

Steamships are being constructed OF
larger and ever larger dimensions. Out
of some 400 vessels in course of con-
struction in Great Britain and Ireland
at the end of the first quarter this year
more than a seventh of the number
consisted of vessels between 5000 and
5000 tons. On the Clyde alone during
the month of April the total output of
shipping was some 1850 tons, and
seven of the vessels which made up
this total aggregated in themselves no
less than 35,130 tons. The average
size of the vessels built at Belfast was
a remarkable feature of the output for
last year. and the same thing holds
true OF the work now on hand. At Bel
fast Harland e VOLTS steamers last
year, seven in number, were consider
ably over 5000 tons. ranging from the
Georgia. of 1907 tons, TO the Veda-
more. of 6,662 tons. the average being
as high as $500 tons.

Coyotes and sheen.

Coyotes are not particular as to food,
eating anything that comes in their
way, but 1t is said that they have cs-
pecial fondness for mutton. This leads
them to play havoc among the sheep,
where they are found in large fiocks.
A rancher in Oregon had flock of
nineteen hundred sheep, and missing
large number, instituted search.
On the brink of a precipice he found
three sheep with their threats marked
with the teeth of a coyote. Making
his way to the bottom of the canyon he
there found the bodies of one hundred
and ten sheep on which the coyotes had
been feeding for a week or more. From
other incidents of like character il was
concluded that a number of coyotes
had gotten into the flock when the
sheep were driven off their bedding
ground by storm, and had herded
them to the brink of the precipice,
much as lot of sheep dogs would do.
When the edge was reached, the coy
otes pressed the sheep so hard in the
rear that those in front were pushed
over and then the coyotes feasted at
their leisure

There is a growing sense of the
urgent necessity of readjusting the

Capacity Of 81. Peters.

II needs fifty thousand persons TO
make a crowd in st. Peters Cathedral
at Rome Ii is believed that at least
that number have been present in the
church several times within modern
memory. but it is thought that the
building would hold eighty thousand
as many as could be seated on the tiers
in the Coliseum. Such a concourse was
there at the opening of the Document
cal Council in December, 1869 and at
the two jubilees celebrated by Leo
XIII. and all three occasions there was
plenty of room in the aisles, besides
the broad spaces which were required
for the functions themselves.
