CANADA'S FAlRPLAY.
A Series OF Outrages that Call Tor Decisive
Action by the United States.

Washington, May 29.-FeelinS it to
be necessary at this stage in the eX-
changes between the United States and
Great Britain respecting the Canadian
boundary controversy that the exact
attitude Of the American commission
ers should be defined. and that the peo-
ple not only Of the United States but
aIos Of Great Britain might have an
of the comparative rectitude of the ac-
tious of the United States and Canada
respectively the following statement
has been obtained from a prominent
person:
Canada continues to be land Of
surprises. The friendly protocol OF
Washington was signed, May 80, 1871
for the adjustment of all differences
between the United States and Canada
in n most amicabe spirit. The ink on
that protocol was only well dry when
tho province Of Ontario discovered q
chance to exhibit her idea of interna-
tional equity. American lumbermen
had been invited to take timber limits
in that province with the privilege OF
cutting logs and exporting them to the
United States. The provincial govern
ment. after giving them their leases
| and taking their money lhto inc tie"o
urv. passed a decree prohibiting the eX-
nort Of such logs, with the result OF
causing some bankruptcies in Michl-
! gan
| During the sessions of the commls-
elan the same peculiar idea Of inter-
national juctice was exhibited in an
other nrovince-that Of British Column
hia This time it was the mining IN
terests that were involved. The au-
tborities of that province took the
money of the American miners VINO
haa made the discovery of gold; al
loved them to spend thousands OF dol
I,rs in constructing railway to the
4 soana of their interests and then pro-
aoa5ed to change their laws to conhne
all such mining privileges to british
s,,hiac+s and British corporations

kind of practice in the case OF Amefl-
aar, nurserymen. They had taken CON

Burni6g q Bribe.

A good story is told of General Lud-
low, Of Havana, who was at one time
in charge Of contracts for some gov
erment work:
a Irishman who had been doing
government work for some years paid
q visit to Ludlow and introduced him
self, slyly laying down on his card a
crisp ffty-dollar bill. It was his way
of feeling Of" new man. If Lud-
low had ignored the performance abb.
solutely and the bill had remained ~
ing on the table when the contractor
went out, the latter would have as
sumed that he had found kindly critic
for his work; or, had the test drawn
forth violent rating and perhaps a
blow or kick, he would have tried to
laugh the whole matter of, but would
have been careful not to repeat the
experiment.
Ludlow, however, neither affected
to ignore the incident nor lost his
temper over it. On the contrary, he
looked at the card and remarked pleas
antly, $50 you are Mr.. Patrick Flah-
erty?';
t'That is my name, sor, answered
the visitor.
;s1Apa you have called to see me
about getting some contract work for
the government"
'sI have, sor. .
"Well, Mr.. Flahezty,' said Ludlow,
We can talk more freely over cigar.
Do you smoker
He drew from his pocket two cigars,
handed one to the contractor, and put
the other between his own lips. Then
looking around on his table as if for a
match and finding none, he coolly took
the 6fty-dollar note, twisted it into
a lighter, set it afame from the open
crate FIRE, lighted his own cigar, and,
without changing countenance, passed
the stump of the burning bill over to
the contractor, whose appetite for
tobacco seemed to have experienced a
sudden check.
The conversation did not last long,
the contractor went away with new
idea in his head, if not about contracts,
at least about Ludlow.-Youths s
Companion.

Dog Understood the Conversation.

\ collie, Roger, who belonged to a
kentucky man, has given remarka-
BILE proof Of understanding conversa-
ton. His master and his guests were
sitting on the vcranda after the mid
day dinner and Roger lay stretched out
upon the lawn nearby. One of the
visitors commented upon the dogs
good points, his fine markings and
other evidences of breeding.
"And he is as clever as he is hand
some, said his master. Every even
ing he goes to the pasture and brings
up the COWS. He never needs any one
to remind him Of his duty and he new
er neglects it.
During this eulogy Roger lay appa-
rently sound asleep. No one paid any
further attention to him and the con-
versativn turned upon other subjects.
Suddenly commotion was heard, the
jipglipg Of bell, a Joyous barking,
and there, before the gate, stood the
whole herd of Attorneys, reused from
their noon siesta and driven home at
that unwonted hour by the over-zeal-
GUS Roger, thirsting for still greater
praise. But alas for the vanity Of
canine expectation
"What do you mean?' his master
shouted, knowing that the dog must
be roundly rebuked. S'You rascal!
Take those COWS back to the pasture
instantly. What do you mean by
bringing them up at this time of the
day?"
The light died out of Rogers dane
ing eyes; tail and ears dropped in NOR
ti6cation. Dazed and as much aston
ished as the COWS could be, he round
ed up the herd, they faced about and
went solemnly down the lane again
and back to the pasture, the too-ofi-
cious Roger timing his feet to the
ding-dong, cling-clang Of the leader s
bell Ne1o York Sun.

It may seem ungracious to speak Of

but truth compels the confession that
not few Of them are living at pace

be apparent to casual observers. tits
generally allowed that there are some
few things which are especially dear
to the heart Of every true woman, such
as the peace and purity of her home,
her husbands honor, her own good
name, the affection and respect Of her
friends and acquaintances, the feel
ings with which her children will look
back to their childhood, and her inAu.
ence over them. But many woman
ieopards all these for the sake Of being
thought gay. fashionable, "up-to-
date, and, in order to win the plaud-
its of those whose admiration is not
worth having and who does not hesi
tate to turn from her when the world
discovers she has gone too far; and
who will then be among the very first
to cast stones at her, hoping to de-
ceive the world into thinking that they
were never among her friends and asso-
ciates. A woman may not 60 so far
as to draw upon herself this public
censure, and yet destroy forever the
peace and happiness Of her home by
her conduct. She may even flatter
herself that she can do many things
that are questionable in appearance,
because she is conscious that she has
really done no wrong; but it is we'll
for her to remember that her inno-
cence is only known to herself, while
circumstantial evidences are ell
against her, and that it is woman 8

times get an idea that it makes them
very attractive in the eyes Of men when
they say and do things that are de-
scribed as cloud or ''fast, or that
win them the reputation Of being
bright and witty; and. undoubtedly,
it does draw around them a number of
young cads who think it great fun to
see how far they can encourage silly
girl to carry her recklessness. But such
conduct never yet won for any girl the
affection of a young man whose love
was worth having, and the memories
it leaves will surely be source Of
humiliation to her in the coming

No Changes in Climate.

This subject is Of extreme interest,
and merits most thorough stucy. We
find the "early" and the latter" rain
to-day in Palestine precisely as de-
scribed $500 years ago. "Jordan
overaows all it's banks" in February
to-day exactly as it did in Joshua s
time, thirtythree centuries ago.
Plants taken from mummy cases in

ed more than 5000 years since, are
practically the same size and are of
the same appearance as those growing
to-day. Records Of vintages in France
for over 700 years show practically
the same dates as to-day Actual OBJ
servations Of rainfall for over 200
years in France show no change. OBJ
servations of temperature for almost
20 years at St. Petersburg show no
change appreciably to u.s., though, of
course, the earliest observations were
extremely crude and somewhat unre-
liable. Facts Of this kind might be
adduced to fill a small volume. On
the other hand, we have records Of the
extraordinary cold weather in ancient
times. One winter the light wine in
France froze. Another winter the
River Po frozc over so as to bear teams
Gan unheard-of phenomenon to-day.
In this journal for June it is stated
that "Parnassus and Socrate, owfree
from snow, were covered with it in
classic antiquity" Also, "the name
Greenland, which strikes us as so sin
gularly inappropriate, was not inap-
plicable at the time it was named, in
the Fourteenth Century"
It's entirely propable that descrip-
tions of the cold in ancient times were
much exaggerated. Parnassus and
Socrate have snow at times, and in
earlier days, when protection against
the cold snow was much less than now
little snow would go a long way.
The early voyagers from Iceland, more
than /, 1000 years ago, leaving land Of
almost perpetual ice and snow, and
reaching a land in the summer with its
beautiful green color, to their unac-
customed eyes would very naturally
give the name Of Greenland to it. At
the summer time, it is said that
Greenland presents a most beautiful
green near the Danish settlements to
this day. Our oldest inhabitants,
who have been wont to describe the
terrible cold and deep SHOWS Of their
boyhood days as iucomparably greater
than anything which does or can oc-
cur to-day, completely lost their reck-
oning the last winter when reading Of
ship that had sunk in New York
harbor by the weight Of the ice upon
it; also, that Washington had had
thirty-four inches of snow on the lev
Ell, and the lowest temperature ever
noted in that fair city. l am sure a
careful study will show no apprecia-
BILE change in the climate Of this earth
since the early historic times. OF
course, nothing here adduced touches
clim attic changes in glacial times or in
prehistoric times, which changes have
been established beyond question:
