Sir Charles Rivers Wilson, president of
the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada, in
"a speech at the shareholders meeting in
the present board had always followed was
to seek the maximum amount of business
at the minimum cost. He congratulated
them on the results of this policy which.
he said was best illustrated by the fact
that the road during the last half year
had hauled 25.4 freight cars per train, COM
pared with 22.S freight cars per train during
the preceding half year. Continuing, the
president said that Jan. 1, 1885, was the
first time since 1890 that the Grand Trunk
Railway had been free from debt. Re-
ferring to the rate war, the president de-
clared the Canadian Pacific Railroad de-
sired an exclusive contract with the Grand
trunk Railroad in order to weaken the Chi
cago connection and damage the Grand
Trunk Railroads connecting roads TO chi
cago. The Grand Trunk Railroad, the
speaker explained, would never give up its
close alliance with its allies. On the larger
question of differentials and the Klondike
business the president said later, the Cana
dian Pacific Railroad had yet to prove its
would be continued next month ana IL is De-
lleved an agreement would be reached
An attack on the board was made by Mr..
Baker, of Bristol who declared there was
no truth in the statement of the president
regarding the Grand Trunk Railway not
beginning a rate war, which, according TO
Mr. Baker was brought about in the inter-
est of the American allies or the ROAD. Inc
president denied Mr. Bakers assertion Inc
report of an agreement with the WaDasn
Railroad for access to Detroit was adopted

auditors were reelected.

BEASTS AND BIRDS.

mails and Death.

One rarely finds in the woods or
fields the dead body of a wild animal
as such carcasses are soon devoured.
although the bones may often be seen,
says Lippincott's. Everything preys
on something else; the wounded, the
old and the sick speedily fall into the
power of their enemies. The crea-
lures can scarcely find any place so
secluded as to be secure; the hurt
bird sees the shadow of the hawk as
it scars with keen eye, looking for its
prey. Day and night the birds and
beasts prowl about and the dull of
sense, feeble and aged meet speedy
destruction.
How much do the wild animals know
of death? 1t is impossible to say;
Yet two things are certain; they have
a fear of it and they understand how
TO kill each other expertly. They
know the right place to bite an en-
envy. Their object in killing is gen
orally to obtain food, but one animal
does not attempt TO bite a piece of
TODD out of another living creature;
il aims to kill first and then to eat
The wild creatures within the re-
gions thickly peopled by men have
HOW an inherited fear of man. \ man
upon horseback can ride under a tree
on which a hawk is lodged without ex-
citing it, while it would speedily fly
from a man walking. On horseback
one can get near to covey of par
tridges. Squirrels do not show dread
of horses or cattle, but by this time
they all know man.

SPENDS HIS LIFE IN PRISON.
The Unusual Method of curing Ma
terial for n Book Adopted by a
Russian Author.

Count Rocco Dianovitch has made
the getting into prison the chief bust
ness of his life for "a of the AZ years
he has lived for the purpose of gather
ing information for a book he is
anxious to write on the subject. At
- he left his home and went into Prus-
sia, where he was arrested for tres
passing, and sent to prison for three
months, working at chair making.
from that time to this he has never
been free from the desire to continue
his prison explorat tons, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
From IS till he was 20 he was in and
out of more than 20 prisons in Bel
GUM, Prussia, Poland and Russia. His
first experience of Jail life in Eng
land was il Liverpool, which was one
of the worst he was ever in, filled
with drunken sailors from all over tie
world. He stayed there six days, when
Re paid his fine and got out, the first
time he failed to serve his sentence
Then he went to Ireland, France
Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey, then
to Egypt, where the jails are the
worst in the world except Australia;
next to India and Japan, and then to
America. where he remained for more
than year, spending most of his
time in jails and penitentiaries.

WALKING FROM DAY TO DAY.
\ Traveller who Reports That He Has
Found II Unique Spot In the
Fill Islands.

There is one place where you can
walk from one day into another. Yes.
there is part OF Wanna Lew, the
northern of the two main islands Of
the Fiji group, which is crossed by the
1S0th degree of east longitude, and
given In a street IN a town running
north and south of this line, it would
be. say, Sunday on one side and Monday
on the other, and few years hence 1t
might also be the 10Th century on one
side and the goth on the other, but, of
course, not for very long.
w. s. Gilbert was once thinking of
threading an opera on this line-the
meridian, of cOurse-and if ne has
given the idea up, the world has lost a
good deal of laughter. One can imagine
the stage representing the street with
white line down the center with
churches open and publics closed on
the one side, with publics open and
churches closed on the other side.
The idea of man trying to serve an
other with a writ under such circum-
stances would also be rather funny.
because, you see, it would be a trifle
difficult to serve writ which is dated
to-day yesterday, and while yesterday
was catching up to to-day of course the
other man might have got into to-mor-
row, and so on. The idea is distinctly

In the recent explorations of Cojan,
THE Mysterious City of Honduras" by
George Byron Gordon, many ancient
tombs were opened. The location of
these was strange and unexpected
beneath the foundations of courtyards
and under the foundations OF houses.
They consist of small chambers of very
excellent masonry, rooted, sometimes
by means of the horizontal arch and
sometimes by means of slabs of stone
resting on the top of the vertical walls.
In these tombs one. and sometimes
two, intcrments have been made. The
bodies have been laid at full length
upon the floor. The cerements had
long since nodded away, and the skele-
tons themselves were in a cIumbling

millions of dollars, for upon it practi
cally depended that corporations very
existence. They decided to refer the
question, which was wholly one Of the

his opinion. Evarts' reputation and
success are wholly due to his remark
able knowledge of law and his power,
which seems almost like intuition, of
determining just how the supreme
court will decide any question of law
When the attorney for the great cor
poration put his question, Evarts sat
buried in thought for moment and
then answered in one word y
His bill for that one word was $3.50
