The British government has kindly
allowed provisions for suffering Amer

prevent Northern traders from using
that privilege as means of sending

region without paying the legal duties.

And charity should always begin at

should not the poorer and more de-

Flats Opera Company having given sew
eral excellent performances for the
benefit of Alexandra institutions,
which performances have involved
much hard study and heavy expense
to several of the members in costuming

an opera for it's OVID benefit, in order
that sinking fund be created to meek

arise in an organization of this charac-

PARIS, Feb. THE trial of M. Emile
lola, who is being prosecuted by the
government as a result of the letter
which he wrote rejecting upon high
officials connected with the Dreyfus
case, opened to-day. The court room
was crowded. The arrival of Henri
Rochefort was the signal for derisive
shouts. Turning in the direction OF
the hostile cries, Rochefort shouted ::
sit would seem that with fonr of you
at FIVE francs piece, the Dreytus syn
dictate will not be ruined" M. lola,
who arrived shortly afterwards, was
greeted with shouts of: "Spit upon
Zola." The proceedings commenced
at l p. m. under the presidency of M.
Delegorgue, who announced tfaf the
court would be cleared if there was any
demonstration. Although the court
was thronged, quiet was maintained
owing to the knowledge that q com.
pany of republican guards had been
placed at the disposal of the judge, to
preserve order. While the jury was
being selected M. lola entered the
dock. He was pale. A few cries Of
viva Zvla" were promptly suppressed.
After the reading of the Indictment,
the advocate general explained that
the charge was strictly limited to the
passage in M. Zoa's letter denouncing
the Esterhszy court martial.
After reading the names of the wit
nesses summoned, NJ. Delegorgue read
number of letters of excuse, in
Guiding one from the minister of war,
General Billot, and one from ex Pres
ident Casimir Perier. Colonel Patty
Du Clam was then called snd refused
to testify. The hearing of the case was
adjourned at 5 p. IN. There was no
sensational Incidents.

That THE law of equivalents holds
good in nature is proved by the late
cold weather, that has fully made up
for the deficiency of such weather in
January and December; but that it does
not hold good in the law of trusts and
combines is rendered equally as plain
by the fact that though the priceof coal
was high enough in all conscience dur
ing the prevalence of the mild weather,
it is even higher now than it was then.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.


Old Harvard, having done SO much
for the advancement Of academic train
ing in this country, has shown her abil-
ity to meet the requirements of modern
and advanced thought by establishing
facilities for obtaining a thorough tech
nical training. This is especially notice
able in the scientific school, where men
seeking a training for profession are
given a great deal of practical expert
ence. The civil engineers go into the
field in summer and go through the per-
Torrance Of locating a railway and
making estimates; the mechanical en-
gineers are put through a course in
workshop practice and are taken to the
large manufacturing establishments to
observe closely the working of machin-
cry; the biologists are obliged to solve
problems in the field, and the architects
are given actual problems in their pro-
feSsion TO practice upon.

To the charitable institutions which

is now to be added the new Asylum for
Homeless Children, and its "creche"
founded by the late Leo Delibes, the en-
inent French composer, through the
careful observance Of his wishes by his
widow, Madame Delibes-Denain. The
establishment, formally accepted by the
municipality of the city of Paris, repre-
sents a great boon. 1t offers, with its
endowment, gift of about forty thou
sand dollars. The building is a per-
fectly-appointed one in the suburb Gil
chy-la- Garenne, and it shelters already
many OF its little pensioners and guests.
1t is a pleasant thought in hearing
'Lakme" sung, or in being entertained
with the liveliness and grace Of the bal
let, "Coppelia," that its composers name
is cut over the door Of the AISLE Leo
Delibes,' and that royalties on the COM
poser's best scores and percentages on
their innumerable French performances
