Conrtesy of Canadians.

Since my arrival in Montreal I am simply charmed with the politeness of the French thabitants., They contrast in marked manner with the Anglo Saxon element. Why are some of us rude when they are all so polite2 A Frenchwoman will say to a saleswo- man, Pardon, mademoiselle, but can you tell me the price of these handker- chiefs?" and this in the most suave tones, as though she were addressing a princess.
 Yet the other day, just before I left New York. I heard stunning looking woman with all the outward appear ances of a lady exclaim shrilly, What the price of thisT without even a please" or a will you kindly inform me-" and much less a "mademoiselle.'
 I notice they have become very sporty here since my last visit. Automobiles whix by at breakneck speed, and I haven't yet seen 6 policeman on hand to stop one.

Pre-eminence of the Barn.

There is one thing about the rural architecture of Canada which appeals to me-the barn is not so much in evil dence. This may appear ambiguous to any one who has not noticed how in many portions of the United States the Barn Spelled with a capital B, if you please) invariably occupies the place of honor. Next come the sheds, pig geries, hencoops, etc, and last the house. a mere insignificant building at one side. Indeed, it Is no uncommon sight to see the barn on a fine elevation of ground and the house down in hole, which in the cellar unpleasantIy suggests swamp. But Canada refuses to sanction the exaltation of the barn and the discomfort of the human be- ings who own 1t.

There is no theory as to the cause
of the disaster. Commander Young
admits that the boilers were old and
needed repairs but he declares that
they were perfectly safe. The slip
was built at Chester, Pennsylvania
in 1889, but new boilers and engines
were put into her about seven years
ago. Y,
There has been a good deal *
whispering among the survivors of the
crew to-day concerning the condition
of the boilers but Young says that
they were tested only a few months
ago and were allowed 225 pounds
pressure. On his voyage to Honolulu
he used an average of 100 pounds OF
steam but on his return voyage 10 tllis

made the cruise under an average Of
100 pounds. He saysshe reduced tha

hits, yet both TALES were earned.
Reeder singled through second, and
cosgroye pounded one over the left

Fairmont never came even near to
scoring, Reeder holding them safe all
