NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A London cable
gram to the Evening Post, says: I'm view
of the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir
Louis Davies to Washington, it is
understood that Mr.. Chamberlain for
warded to Lord Aberdeen, last week,
important recommendations on the
future trade relations between Can
ada and the United States, from
the imperial point of view. Though Mr.
Chamberlain has abandoned his sollverein
schemes, he would view with keen disap-
pointment and grave forebodngs the ulti-
mate effect on the English attitude towards
the Dominion of Sir Wilfrid Lauriers ac-
ceptance of any such trade agreement with
the States as Mr. Blaine once proposed, in
Volving discrimination against England
Sir Wilfrid LauFier himself and Mr.. Field
ing, Canada's minister of finance, who is
now visiting London, have given definite
assurances that Canada would never con-
sent to such discrimination. They have not,
however, disguised the fact that if the
United States showed a neighborly attitude
towards Canada on outstanding trade and
other questions, they would go long way
TO meet Washington advances, short of dis
elimination. 1t is believed that they might
even go so far as to place England and the
United States on a tariff equality This
would seem to involve the abandonment OF
the policy of a preferential tariff for Brit
ish goods which, though not yet realized,
Canadian ministers contend, however, that
Canada can render no greater service to the
empire than by assisting to restore Anglo
American accord.

we can't eat our soup with less noise, to

like the plunger in q saw-mill when she
is eating soup. Neither does she sound
like the air pump on a locomotive when
she is drinking tea. Let us put in the
peg right here and give the men a
chance to catch up. The boys In the

My sanctum was a sort of committee

a tall, red-headed, military : looking
girl, with a basilisk eye, as my private
secretary. She wore a black silk and a
big watch chain and she could freeze
the marrow in your bones with one
look. The day after she arrived a
young gentleman known rs Blizzard
Eater" walked in and sat down with his
hat on. The "Soldier"-the Office devil
called her the "Soldier"-tixed her cold,
gray eye on "Blizzard Eaters" hat.
This made him uncomfortable, and he
took off his hat and examined it to see il
there was anything wrong with it, and
then put it on again. Still that cold,
gray eye was fixed on the hut. "Bliz-
zard Eater" began to sweat-that's the
proper woodland then, when it dawned
upon him that his hat was out of place,
he collapsed and never came back again.

province of woman's kingdom ever after
that.

Still encouraging her to see now hopes inc

like to be his secretary. With this view he
showed her some written reports relating to
the Institution which had beoiI sent to him
during the time of his residence at Syden-
ham. She read them with all interest and
attention Which amply justified his conf
dence in her capacity.
'slliese reports" he explained to her, ARE

Retlcctions of , Rnche,or

New York Press: If Eve had ever
tried to work housecleaning on Adam
there wouldn't have been any need of
an apple tree.
The main reason why girls like to
go to parties and dance with new men
is SO they can study each mans
method.
1t isn't every girl that is thoughtful
enough to hang up a whisk broom out
on the piazza when she puts up the
hammock.
After a girl has one heard that some
one has said that she had a pensive
face she always goes around trying to
look sad and grieved.
Some men are SO suspicious that
whenever their wives are solicitous
about their health they think they are
wondering what would become of them
and the children.

A New Horace.

Boston Post: The poem which Pope
Leo XIII. has given to the world will
have a wider reading than his wisest
encyclical; and this not altogether
through curiosity as to the metrical
utterances of the head of the Catholic
church, but by reason Of the captivat.
ing sense of the verses themselves. In
deed, it may be said that the practical
wisdom contained in these lines is as
great as that of many formal e%cclesi-
astical documents.
The present pope has before this
shown himself in close touch with
modern thought and progress on edu-
cational, social and material lines, and
now he demonstrates his clear COM
prehension OF an important point of
morality as concerned with individual
conduct.
His ode in praise of frugality has,
moreover, literary merit which places
1t alongside of the classics. 1t has the
simplicity of art which distinguishes
Horace and q plain directness of ex-
preston which gives his verses n per
tinent charm.
