Charms of City Life.

An Ontario government ofiicial. Mr..

but IS unable to obtain them, though
there are hundreds Of immigrants and
unskilled laborers In Montreal, Toron-

cities who gladly accept odd Jobs Of
any description to eke out q living.
It is the old, old problem which Lon

Travelled in Comfort.

Spiders can look after their own com.
fort In all circumstances. A doctor
desired to send a fine specimen to Q
medical friend at a distance. so he
inclosed 1t in wooden box, and dis
patched the tiny traveller by post. The
spider apparently disliked the joltine
incident to travelling, for he made use
OF nm ingenious remedy. When the
consignee opened the box. he found
that the insect had spun for itself a
hammock, securely hung from the four
corners Of his prison house, in which
he had rested as comfortably as he did
under more natural conditions.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY FIXED.
Seattle Post. Intelligence: The last
remaining undetermined portion of
the boundary line between Alaska
and British Columbia has been deter
mined and there is no opening now
left for any possibility of future dis
putes. The settlement of this last
matter was of no very large impor-
tance. 1t involved merely 100 miles
along the summit of a ragged noun
tain range, in country practically
inaccessible, covering the distance
between Kate's Needle and Devils
Thumb. 1t was determined by locat-
ing the intervening peaks by observa-
tions, giving their latitude and longi-
tude and describing an imaginary
line from the two principal peaks in
tersecting the SUBMITS of the inter-
vening peaks. This will give a line
which somewhat resembles the old
fashioned Virginia rail fence, but it
is sufficient for all practical purposes.
The whole region, it appears, is
covered by perpetual snow. 1t is in
the neighborhood of the summit of
one of the most precipitous mountain
ranges on this continent; 1t Is remote
and inaccessible to any one save a
mountain goat or prospector, two
terms almost synonymous, and it is
not matter of any very overwhelm-
ing Importance which country gets
the better of it in the matter of ter
ri,ory by having the line drawn in
manner, jumping from peak to peak,
instead of attemptingto draw regu.
lar line and locate it by monuments
lin place, task which it would take
some arduous years to accomplish in
such country. 1t does not appear
that anyone even in Alaska is liable
to lose much sleep over the question
whether Devils Thumb or Kate's Nee
die would fall within or without the
territory of the United States. There
are peaks and pinnacles of their kind
in plenty and to spare on either side
of the line. The country fares the
worst which gets the most of them.

Visited Hillsboro.

The Princess Olive Christian Nal.
very, who spoke so eloquently in the
Methodist Church on the day when
the FIVE hundred w. G. T. U delegates
visited Hillsboro, is grand niece OF
Catherine Sinclair. The New York
Times gives the following:
The marriage of Archibald Mackirdy
the United States Consul at Muscat,
Persia, and Miss Olive Christian
Malvery, celebrated not long ago In
London in st. Margaret's Church,
Westminster, was an everyday termi-
nation to most romantic career
that of the bride.
Mrs. Markirdy is remarkable
woman and talented along many lines.
She is a native of India, but her
career lay chiefly in London. She is
a writer, singer, and an eloquent
temperance advocate.
Soon after arriving in London in
order to obtain materials for her
writings, she entered upon the most
unconventional, not to say dangerous,
mode of life. Time and again the
I dian girl slept in doss houses" and
even on the Embankment, and many
a story did she thus with infinite
patience and risk obtain material for.
Later she became a street vendor
and hawked shoe laces on the streets
of London, thereby opening up another
field for her pen. Later yet she be
came factory girl in the East End,
and for time also took up coster-
mongering.
She had no difficulty in disposing of
her "copy," for her style was original,
vivacious, and she possessed much de.
scrip.ive power. While working in
the East End she became very popular
among the poor, and body of factory
girls from the Hoxton Factory and
also lot of Salvation Army girls
were present at the wedding ceremony
and cheered the bride.
Her wedding was suggestive of her
Eastern origin, for the Bishop of
Bombay gave her away, and her
wedding gown was of Indian manu-
facture, white satin draped with
silver.spangled gauze. Mr.. Mackirdy
gave her as wedding present string
of pearls ten feet long, which she
wore, and she carried seven large pink
roses. She had a single bridesmaid,
tall girl in pale blue, and twelve
little girls, members of the Guild of
Good Hope, in white muslin frocks
and sunbonnets we're the flower girls.
The little girls carried baskets of
roses, which they gave to the guests
as the latter came out. The church
itself was most profusely flower deck
ed Even the porch was banked with
green leaves and white flowers. The
Bishop of London, assisted by Canon
Hemsley Henson, performed the cere-
mony, and Nine. Calve sang a solo
while the register was being signed.
The ceremony was followed by two
receptions. The first, Immediately
after the ceremony, was at Caxton
Hall, Westminster, and 1900 guests
were entertained at different tables,
The hostesses at these tables included
Lady Hamilton, Lady Evelyn Moreton,
and others. There was also a musical
programme, the artists including
Nine. Sobrino, Ben Davies, and Ffran.
con Davies.
The second reception was held at
Hoxton Hall and was for the members
of the East End clubs. 1t was not
until midnight of this unusually
crowded wedding day that Mr..
Marklrdy and his bride were able to
leave on the midnight train for Scot.

spent.

Editorial Symposium
Selected from the Colunns Of the Leading Nswspa-
pers Of America.

London Monthly Review: The In.
auence of the old, staid Victorian
middle class is passing away. The
present generation has no such care
for propriety or for self.restraint.
Life has grown richer, more full Of
color, less correctly insular. We may
not be worse than our fathers, but we
are less reserved. What will 1t profit
John Bull If he ceases, to be hypo-
critic only to become brute? There
lies the danger.
WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
Atlanta Journal: Secretary TAFT
is said to look like Grover Cleveland,
and this Is encouraging the secre-
tary's friends to believe that he looks
like presidential timber.
IMMIGRATION.
Cincinnati Enquirer: The indica-
tions are that about million foreign
emigrants will come to the United
States this year. That Is sufficient
number to make very great city, In
80 far as numbers can contribute to
greatness. Big figures are not always
so impressive as they ought to be un.
less there is an object lesson.
PRESIDENT AND PASSES.
Cleveland Leader: There is lot
of fustian in the clamor against the
acceptance of railway passes by pub.
lie men. Our country would be in
good deal better case to criticise such
acceptance If it paid its responsible
servants better wages. President
Roosevelt, in deciding no longer to
accept courtesies in the nature of
free transportation from railways, is
doubtless governed by the scriptural
injunction, to avoid the very appear.
ance of evil. It is not presumable
that he regards himself :as having
done anything wrong in the past
when he accepted these courtesies.
BoNAPARTE A BIG .sTICKER.
Springfield Republican: The Bon
aparte cabinet appointment arouses
conflicting emotions in sundry bosoms
of strong men within the Republican
circle, and the criticisms that are
heard betray the feeling THAT the
grand nephew of the Emperor Napo-
leon l is not "true blue" in party af-
filiations. All of these criticisms may
be dismissed as puerile. Mr.. Bona
parte has always been a Republican
in national politics, while he has been
wholesomely independent in the poll
tics of his city and state. The dread
full charge that he was an anti.imper-
ialist is the most amusing thing that
has been said. If he was, or is, the
fact is news to US. The Republican
has never heard before thatlMr. Bon
aparte ever went so far as to sympa-
thize with Senator Hoar. AS our
readers know. the Baltimore lawyer
last year, in series of letters to this
paper, ardently defended the Presi-
dents treatment OF COLUMBIA In the
Panama coup, and there was nothing
in his writing at that time which in
dicated that Mr.. Bonaparte was any
thing but a big.sticker latter Mr..

It Is related OF Richard Brinsley Sherl
idan, the dsamafist and statesman,
that, always in debt, he had among
his creditors the brothers Chalie, who
were the partners in wine firm in
1775. One day when he was giving a
dinner party to some distinguished
people Sheridan sent for one OF the
brothers, told him he was now able to
settle his account and invited him to
the dinner party, asking him to come
before the hour for some private con-
versation. Chalie arrived early, and
he was no sooner in the house than
Sheridan sent off a servant with note
to the clerk desiring him, as Mr.. Chalie
was favoring him with his company,
to send as soon as possible three dozen
Of burgundy, two dozen Of claret and
two dozen of port, with dozen Of old
hook. The unsuspecting clerk sent the
wine, with which the guests were SO
pleased that they asked where it came
from. Sheridan, turning toward Chalie,
said, Il am indebted to my friend here
for all the wine you have tasted and
am always proud to recommend him. !"
1t was not until the following morning
that Chalie realized the double mean
Ing in Sheridan's words. The debt was
Cancelled.

The Lonely Librarx,

At the English universities the Ibra-
ries are so little used that they have
become famous as places of unbroken
solitude. One yarn told to illustrate
this is to the effect that an elderly fell
low of Caius college, Cambridge, got
tired of life and determined to put him
self quietly and unostentatiously out of
the way, so that the world in general
and Caius college in particular should
know him no more. Being a man with
a great love for his university and a
greater love still for his college, he
made up his mind that no scandal
should be caused by his sudden depar-
ture, SO he debated in his mind the
ways and means. His decision was an
inspiration. He bought decent length
Of rope and hanged himself in the col
lege library. But his hopes We're DOOM
ed to disappointment. He was discoy-
cred year and a half later.
