Few Shut Doors in Canada.
Canadians are known in Britain

Canadians are known in Britain as
the people who never shut doors.
Where rooms are heated, as they are
there, by CRATE fires, the opening Of a
door sets up an immediate draught,
and if the person who opens it does
not close it again he quickly realizes
his mistake, if not in his own sensa-
tons, then in the reproachful glances
of others. The first lesson in man
ners taught to children is to shut the
door, and that quietly. The door
handle, the child is taught, is not only
for the purpose of opening a door, but
Of shutting it. The reason why Can
adams do not learn to shut doors is
that their 5,,salEs, for the most part,
stand open.- houses are heated
with a general Lent. and before the
days Of furnaces{ Rnless the doors Of
the rooms stood &pen, tho rooms
would, for the mos part, get cold.
Thus has grown the bit Of leaving
doors open. When a Canadian comes
to shut door he is prone to think
that something very private is going
on within which he must not disturb,
and his first impulse is to retire from
it. Where we in Canada have door
which we want kept shut we put a
spring Oh il, and So where there are
many Offices there is usually general
and constant slamming Of doors. To
one not accustomed to the jarring
thus occasioned, the result is torture.
In time kindly nature steps in and
mitigates the evil by making the audi
tory nerve less and less susceptible to
an accustomed sound. Ask person
who lives in q cathedral close, or un.
der the shadow of one of our great
churches, whether the bells do not
disturb him; his reply is: "Bells? I
never hear them. Montreal (Quebec)

The Pope is one Of the wealthiest
men in the world. In his home, the
Vatican, palace which contains 1000
rooms, the worth Of gold objects stored
there is estimated at $40, 100000 by
weight alone, and each plate has been
increased in value quarter or o third
by the skilled artisans through whose
hands it has passed. These treasures
are practically the personal estate Of
the Pope. On the occasion of his
Jubilee in 1888 Leo received enough
gifts TO ransom o kingdom, the offer
ings at the jubilee mass alone being
some SO, 100000 in gold.

The insurgent chiefs in the Philip.
pines who surrendered to the Spanish
|pn the promise Of safe transport to
Hong Kong knew better than to trust
Fhe mere word Of their captors, states
the New York Mail and Express.
Their followers held their pistols at
he head Of Spanish "honor" until
word was received OF their safe ar.
|.ival at Hong Kong. It is this knowl.
bdge Of the perfdy Of the Spanish
character that made utterly hopeless
|.t the outset all negotiations with the
Cuban insurgents for peace on the
basis Of autonomy. Negotiations i'm
bly, faith, and there is just as little
/ aith in Spain as there is just now
health in Cuba.

At tho recent dinner of the New
vagabonds' Club in London Rear-Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford was the
guest of the evening, and he created q
sensation by his plain speaking on
social questions: Money" he de-
clared, sis now everything among us.
Any vulgarian, of whatever nationality,
whether he has gained money honor
ably Or disgracefully, could buy his
way among those who are described as
the best and proudest in the land if
they worship the golden calf. Con-
tinuing, Lord Beresford remarked:
"Our old Empire will soon be going
down grade when man in the So
called best society commits dishon-
orable act and society bands together
to screen him, instead of hanging him
to the first tree" The popular Rear
Admiral also urged return to the old
Glove Of chivalry and patriotism, and
adherence Of everything sordid and
selfish" The vagabonds were at first
aghast at this plain speaking, but the
subsequent cheers showed that out
spoken truths are not altogether I'm.
palatable.

The weakness Of Germany as naval
power was shown by the fact that Prince
Horny stopped at the Isle Of Wight
on his way to China to obtain permits
sion from his imperial grandmother to
coal his ships seven times between the
European and Chinese ports at British
naval stations. In this respect Eng
land is supreme. There is not quar-
tor of the globe in which her vessels
cannot find refuge when disabled or
coal when they need fuel.

II was quaint apartment, so full
of her fads and fancies that you
felt that you had been taken
into her confidence the mo-
ment you entered the room.
Miniature gardens grew in the win
dows, ivy climbed adventurously to-
ward the ceiling, and the cut glass
bowl on the odd little table was over
flowing with roses. A queer little
Dutch clock licked away crafty on the
wall. It had never been known to tell
the right time, and Philip had learned

Gladys was studying Greek history
and sculpture, and the usual pictures
in the room had been removed to give
place to her Attic treasures. The
Parthenon had the place of honor over
tho piano, and the gods and goddesses
were assembled on the walls in almost
as great numbers as in the days Of old
when they had gathered on Mount
Olympus.
Phil grew uneasy as a flood Of asso:
Citations rolled over him, and he moved
restlessly about. There on the desk
was that mummy hand paper weight
which old Van lyle had sent to Gladys
at Christmas. How jealous he had
been Of Van for the pleasure his pres
ent had given! He remembered how
cuttingly he had remarked that it was
just like Vans meanness to offer her
some other fellows hand!
On the table was the novel they had
been reading together. Phil had used
his scarf pin as a bookmark, and it
had been left undisturbed.
From it's place on the chandelier, a
little sprig of mistletoe suddenly
dropped on Pills head. Christmas
eve he had stood in this same spot, and
Gladys, shy, reserved, undemonstra-
tive Gladys, had softly stolen up be-

Phil shook himself impatiently,
put his hands in his pockets,
and turned to look at the dying EN-.
beers in the CRATE. Yes, Gladys had
evidently just lett the room-Aed, he
supposed, when she heard his voice.
Drawn up costly in front Of the fire
was her favorite lounging chair, in
which she curled herself comfortably
like cat.
In the depths Of the chair a small
white object attracted Pills atten-
ton. Mechanically, from pure force
Of habit, he stopped to pick it up, and
q wretched little specimen Of mouchoir
it was. It looked as if Telemachus
had wept abundantly upon it, ard
Niobe added her ceaseless tears. It
was as damp as a cobweb left out over
night in the dew.
A great light came into Pills eyes.
Gladys unhappy. Rapturous thought
she must care for him after all!
Philip drew long breath that sounded
like sob; then, with boyish, happy
laugh, he walked toward the door.
There was light step on the stair,
rustic of drapery in the hall, and she
entered. "Gladys," said Philip,
pocketing the tell.tale treasure, II

Great Britain's dependence upon the
United States is yearly becoming more
pronounced. Not only in the purchase
pf agricultural and mineral products is
hat power bestowing marked favor
Upon the American market, but also
the purchase of industrial and com.
uercial products. Much has already
been said Of the extensive purchases
which Great Britain has recently made
n this market of electrical outfits and
Iupplies. Within the last five years
he aggregate value of these purchases
has mounted far mp into the millions,
md yet larger orders are being re-
,eived from Great Britain at the pres
int time than ever before. The latest
wrinkle in the trade relations between
he two countries is set forth in the
ollowing significant paragraph taken,
rom recent London dispatch: "Her
dajesty's stationery office, which sup.
plies oil the departments, allows COM
non sense to take precedence over
patriotism. The India office, which is
he most exclusive and old-fashioned
Pf them all, grumbled upon making tho
knocking discovery, but Of the chiefs
pf the stationery departments an.
,wered: whats all this fuss about?
Il we can get notepaper in America
better and cheaper than the British
manufacturers can supply, we will
place our orders there" twenty-five
Tears ago Great Britain would have
rooted at the idea of buying manu-.
aotured articles in this market. With
he arrogance which her industrial
prestige brought to her she naturally
ooked with contempt upon the crude
manufacturing enterprises Of the
United States. But times have
hanged, and Great Britain is to-day
me Of the most extensive purchasers
+ American products. She buys coal,
ron, bread-stufs, electrical supplies,
otton, tobacco, paper and numerous
ther wares. What splendid begin
ing for the power which once spurned
ar market!

A shrewd person needs no tips from

THE WORLDS SONG.

It's great old world, for all its cares--1
Signs and sorrows, and pangs and prayers,
Under the heavens, glad or gray,
It rolls along to the Judgment Day.
And sings In the light OF tho Unseen's
face:
II bear the burdens Of race on race
And whirl the dust Of the dead through
space!"
It's great old world, with its hopes and
fears
Pleasures, treasures and scaldlng tears;
It careth naught for darkened skies
II its sun shall set, or its sun shall
rise
II stars sink blind from the Unseen's
face. (.
"Forever-forever-o fading race,
l whirl the dust Of your dead through
space!'
"It's a great old world! Draw
near, O sweet
There is rain on the roses at your feet;
What shall earth care for the pangs you
bear!
Lean your lips to the roses, dear!
Let tho light kiss tho night Of tears from
your face;
Hark to the singing: 20 fading race,
am bearing your beautiful dust through
space!'
It's great old world! :. Let US
live and trust
That life Is more than rose in dust;
That the lowliest flower at our feet,
Even with the thorn is SWEETS sweet
There's the red O. the rose, sweetheart
in your face,
And the morn's in your eyes!
60 fading race
I am bearing your beautiful dust through
space!)
