 One of the projects under consider ation at Ottawa this winter is the con- struction of public grain elevators at Port Colborne. the Lake Erie entrance to the Welland Canal. A commission has recommended that the elevators, built with government money, remain government property forever, thus avoiding any possible complication or defiection of traffic from the St. Law renee route-the rates for elevation to be as low as possible, the main obpect being to encourage the route rather than to make profit for the elevator. rants, M. Pettau Duval, died last week at his splendid estate at Pontlevy X where he has lived retired since 1881. He founded the first of his restaurants in 1853 in the Rue Sainte Anne, where he supplied meals for 80 centimes, con sisting of meat, vegetables, dessert and flask of superior Bordeaux The cheapness of the meal caused sensa- tion even then. Soon fifty establish ments were founded, but with time the prices rose and the restaurants assum- ed a select appearance, which they have retained since their founder made his fortune of several millions.
 George Meredith now says this about woman's place in the world: Since they began to reflect they, have been oppressed; injustice is done to women and constraint put upon their natural aptitudes and their faculties generally, much to the degradation of the race. I have not studied women more than men, but with more affection and deep CT interest in their enfranchfsement and development being assured. Wo- men of independent mind are needed for any sensible degree of progress; they will so educate their daughters that these will not be instructed at the start to think themselves naturally in- { ferior to men because less muscular, and they need not have recourse to the particular arts of the feline chiefly to make their way in the world.'
 General Manager Chipman of the Indianapolis and Eastern Electric Rail- way recently utilized his knowledge of human nature. His company had park the soil of which it wanted to blow up and pulverize thoroughly at small cost, at the same time attracting some traffic to the park. It therefore buried $500 in gold coin in various parts of the park and threw the place open to any patron of the street cars that wished to dig, prescribing only that none but small hand implements should be used. The plan worked admirably. The cars were thronged with amateur n1isers, and by the time all the coin was found the entire surface of the park had been loosed up and reduced to powder to an extent that no lanschape gardener ever saw equaled. The street car company got its $500 back in fares and at the same time got it's park thoroughly plowed for nothing.
