steadfastness and devotion to principles
which they consider right In no wise

1t appears that the project to provide a
fast line of steamers between Canada
and Great Britain, to compel with the
fast lines from New York, has not fallen
through. The required deposit of S5o, 900
has been made and for this service
Canada gives subsidy of $500, 900 a year
for ten years. and Great Britain $3.50, 900.
There are to be four steamers whose rate
nf speed Is calculated at five hundred
knots day and it is expected that much
of the ocean passenger traffic from the
Western States will go to this new fast
line.

Bryan is coming to Massachusetts to

AS Bryan commands in some parts OF

Mr.sFielding, minister of finance of the
Dominion of Canada, in an interview in
London refers to the present unsatisfac-
tory trade relations between this oountr Y
and Canada-relations which have
brought dissatisfaction to number of
influential men in both parties-and ex-
presses his belief that action might be
taken which would result in the estab-
lishment of friendly trade relations to
the1advancement of Canadian as well as
imperial interests. Mr.. Fielding is right.
There is no good reason why mere boun-
dairy line should be permitted to sever
reciprocal trade relations of substantial
benefit to those most concerned.

The Theatre Hat.

When Tillinghast and Gildersleeve took
their seats in the theatre the other night,
they found their view of the stage inter
rupted by large pcture-hat on the head
Of lady in front of them. By adroit
movements laterally the wearer of the
hat managed to obscure the view ofboth
the young men alternately, instead of
only one, which is the usual privilege of
the big theatre head-gear.
After nearly dislocating his neck in the
vain endeavor to dodge the shadow, Til
linshast said to his friend:
What a pity it is that lady with
such pretty face should be obliged to
wear such a large hat in order to conceal
some personal defect about her head 7"
what do you suppose the defect ISL"
replied Gildersleeve in loud whisper.
Hush, not so loud, or she will hear
you" warned Tillinghast, in penetrative
tones. cts my opinion that she is pre-
maturely bald"
The conspirators saw that their COM
ments were heard, for that hat ceased to
bob around, and helady's head assumed
an attentive attitude.
"Oh no, don't think is prematurely
bald" replied Gilderseeve. Its my
opinion that her hair is turning gray.
She is using hair-dye and las neglected
to put it on for week or so, and, in con-
sequence, the hair is showing white at
the roots. while it is black where it has
been dyed. One naturally wishes to hide
it, under such circumstances, you know
At this point the wearer of the hat gave
sniff of defiance, half looked around,
and then raised her hat from her head
and placed it in her lap, and she no doubt
thought to herself
"Ill just show them whether am pre-.
maturely bald or whether haven't had
time to apply hair-dye for week! !"
Tillnghast smiled softly as he said;
'Just see what magnificent hair she
has We were both wrong. Isn't it a
pity that such hair should ever be GOV.
cred by hat ?"
at is, indeed, " replied Gildersleeve.
Then the two willy young men enjoyed
the play, while a smile of pleasure played
on the face OF the lady, Harper's Bazaar.

Edison's Latest Discovery.

Thomas A. Edison is about to give to
the world another discovery, as wonder
fu in its way as the Horoscope.
By means Of the Horoscope Mr.. Ed-
son put to practical use the discovery OF
the so-caled X-rays by Professor
Rontgen. His latest discovery is a fur
Their development on this same line Mr.
Edison, realizing the limitations of the
Horoscope, its power when applied to
the human body-for in its surgical pos
sbilities lies its greatest benefit to man
kind-being confined to revealing the
bony structure and the dim outlines Of
such solid organs as the heart, determined
to find, il possible, some substance Of
more sensitive quality than the tungstate
of calcium used in the Horoscope. He
has discovered one. Its name he will not
reveal saying that he is still experiment
ing with it, and desires to exhaust it's
possibilities before announcing it to the
world.
Less than year ago it was thought
marvellous when the bones of the hand
were photographed. But by means of
the newly discovered crystals Mr.. Edi-
son, it is said, can now disclose to the
eye of the surgeon, organs and tissues that
have hitherto been seen only in the dis
secting room and on the operating table.
1t is probable that when he periects his
new discovery the slightest arrangement
of the system will be revealed to the doc
tors eye.
So sensitive are these crystals, that
a man with his eyes bandaged may dis
Germ objects, which suggests the posi-
bilty that to the eyes of the blind the
world around them may become visual
reality.
