BRIEF REVIEW.
Diary of Major Andre Discovered.

The diary of Major Andre, after lying
hidden for hundred years, has been
discovered in England. This interest
ing find was made by Lord Grey while
he was going over lot of old family
papers that probably had not been dis
turbed since the conclusion of the
American war of independence. Lord
Gray's great-grandfather was COM
mander of British troops in America at
that time, and Andre served on his
staff, and this accounts for the diary
being in the possession of the present
peer. The diary is apparen tly the orig
inal, but in order to make sure that it
is not copy, Lord Grey is sending over
to the United States to secure samples
of Andres handwriting, none of which
can be obtained in London. The diary
is story of the campaign, day by day,
during the years 1767-177S. 1t simply
but Interestingly told from the soldiers
standpoint, and is accompanied by
Andre himself with skill that would
make him the equal of any hydrograph-
er of to-day. The diary ceases too early
to throw any light upon the motives
which prompted the tragic ending of
his career, but it gives interesting
glimpses of the personality of one of the
historic figures of the Revolution.

Byron wrote in his "Childe Harold"
that he "stood in Venice on the Bridge
of Signs, a palace and prison on each
hand" Merthyr has got something
almost as famous, according to the
History of the Iron Trade of Wales. )"
Penydarran works have been cleared
away to the last brick, and now on one
side stands the electrical power-gener-
ating station, and on the other pros
porous theater. From this spot went
away the first rail that was ever made
in Wales-that for the Liverpool and
Manchester Railway, the cable for the
bridge that spans the Menai, and from
it started the first locomotive engine.

Russia's Great Railway.

1t is nine years since the Transsibe-
rian Railroad was commenced, and at
the present time 3240 miles of rails have
been laid, showing an average of $50
miles year. The connection between
Europe and Vladivostok is now fully
assured by means of the steamship serv-
ice in the center of Siberia. The jour-
ney from the continent of Europe to
Vladivostok occupies about eighteen
days, and from London to Paris three
and half weeks, as against six weeks
via the Suez canal. When the line is
finished it will have length of 52S2
miles, and a still greater saving in time
will be effected.

1t is the law in Maine that double
bounty for bears must be paid when the
animals nose is shown, and in New
Hampshire the money is payable on
exhibition of the ears. Some enterpris-
ing sportsmen who live near the border
of the two States get double bounty
by collecting on the noses in Maine and
on the ears in New Hampshire.

The fifth centenary of the death of
Chaucer will occur October 18th and an
attempt is being made in London to
induce the court of common council to
erect statue to the poet in the guild
hall or the library. The author of "The
Canterbury Tales" was Londoner by
birth, but no suitable memorial of him
exists in the city of his nativity.

teeming with oil? 1t can be found al
most any place you wish to bore. Yes,
sir, Texas and California will lead the
oil-producing States, and we are not
afraid of the wood or any other famine
on this coast. It's Gods own country,
and when one thing gives out, there's
pretty sure to be something else to
spring up to take its place" 'There
would never be any wood famine if you
people were only progressive enough to
plant trees instead of cutting them all
down and neglecting to plant Others to
take their places" said the stranger, a
little sarcastically.
Polly agrees with the stranger. There
is no excuse for not planting the trees
to take the places of those that are being
destroyed all the time. In some sec
lions of this State and around some of
our most progressive and fiourishing
little towns there is not native tree to
be found for miles around. No trees
have been planted to take their places,
and the result is that bare sun-burned
hills surround the town. The native
trees are fast disappearing, but it would
not be so bad if something were planted
to take their places. Polly is in favor
of arbor days, wherein the children
may enthuse and do some tree planting
of their own accord. Nothing beauti-
fies place more than trees along the
streets and roads, and nothing makes it
more uninviting and uninteresting than
the lack of trees and shrubbery. L have
always had good deal of respect for
the little woman who defied the city
trustees who had ordered her trees cut
down, by sitting on the sidewalk with
a shotgun in her hand. "pll shoot the
first man who lays hand Oh my
trees" she said grimly." The effect
was like magic. Her trees are still
Others begged and implored
to spare their trees, but it had no effect.
Words and tears were useless. The
only thing that appealed to their cour-
ageous and sympathetic hearts was a
shotgun welded by very determined
little woman.

settled whole regiments We're detached

death. Trenches We're dug across their

aud especially their eggs. When these
eggs are laid, they are inclosed in n
horny envelope called a pod" each
pod containing 35 eggs. In seven

stroyed. Now, single ton of pods

spite Of this almost incredible destruc-
tion, the locusts are still n dreadful
plague and show little il any symptoms

Wagner had a good deal of trouble In
making ii follow his intentions. Some
years later. when he was living as an
exile In Zurich, he undertook to train
the local orchestra. After few at

have just given me great pleasure;
you have played exactly rs badly as
the Dresden orchestra"
The Zurich players laughed, and the
idea that they might play better than
the royal musicians In Dresden SO fired
their zeal that they actually succeeded
