Consul H. D. Van Sant reports from Kingston that an American firm has secured the contract to build a twin- screw Yéver and lake steamer for the Riechelieu & Ontario Navigation com- pany of Canada.

The magistrate at Lambeth police court has sentenced Frederick Collins, a laborer of 4 Sultan street, Camber- well, to three months' hard labor for cruelty to two chaffinches ‘by blinding them, reports The London Mail. S. G. Polhill, who proseeuted on be- half of the Royal society for the pre- vention of cruelty to animals, said that the practice of blinding was resorted to because birds so dealt with were supposed to become better songsters or warblers, He was solTy to say the practice had been going on for many years, but in such secrecy that this was the first occasion upon ich the so- city had been in a position to prose- | cute. | The operation was carried out with' a needle, and was done skilfully, so as not to burst the eyeball. The birds adapted themselves to their blind state in a wonderful way. They fed and found their water and jumped about the cage. Arthur Wilmot, one of the society’s inspectors, produced the two blind birds in court. He purchased thema from ‘the prisoner at his house, where one room was full of birds, at least ten of whom | were blinded chaffinches. The prisoner said he himself had blinded them, but that ~blinded” was a dangerous word because if he were “given away” Zi.b, 51_D SEALED BOXES | More peopie are taking Foley's Kid- ney Remedy every ¥ea.r It is consider- ed the most effective remedy for all kidney and bladder troubles med- ical science can devise.

' Alexander Plerce, vererin: geon, said that in the birds produced he came to the conclusion that the optic nerve and the artery in the center of that nreve had been severed by insert- ing a needle at the bottom of the eye. This operation paralyzed the sight and made the bird totally blind, while leav- ing the eye to the observer the same as before the operation.

Nor is he a business competitor to be fooled with. South America, with its population of 45,000,000, Mexico with its nearly 14,000,000, the Central American re— publics, represent an aggregate of over 60,000,000, of human beings. Cities like Buenos Ayres, with its over a million population—300,000 more than Liverpool—Rio de Janeiro with i £00,000—200,000 more than Manchest —are marts which force themselves the front in the reckoning with any commercial centers of the world. Once infuse this colossal body with the propaganda of unification—let it once apply in any comprehensive sense the maxim that i union is strength and you have a confederation inex- pugnable on its own ground, and with aggressive possibilities of immeasure- able import. And there is no doubt that slowly, with many lapses, but with a general movement palpably manifesting itself. this idea is taking root.

At the time the following inc dent occurred Payn was editor of the Cornhill Magazine: Y “One day an unannounced caller who had managed to evade the porter down stairs opened Payn’s door. His hair was long and his clothes were shabby and untidy. He had a roll of papers in his hand. Payn, surmising a poet and an epic several thousand lines long, looked up. ““Well, sir? “‘I've brought you something about Sarcoma and Carcinoma.’ ““We are overerowded with poetry— couldn’t accept another line, not if it . by Milton.” ‘Poetry the caller flashed, ‘Do you know anything about Carcoma and Carcinoma?’ “‘Italian lovers, aren't Payn imperturbably. “The caller retreated with a wither- ing glance at the editor. Under the same roof as the Cornhill was the of- fice of a medical and surgical journal and it was this that the caller sought, for the disposal of a treatise on those concerous growth with the euphoniou names which, with a layman’s ignor- | ance, Payn ascribed to poetry.” | The Story of an Ink Stain. | Pens and furniture used in the sign- ing of famous treaties and documents recall Archibald Forbes’ experience af- ter Sedan. After witnessing Napole- on’s ‘interview with ® Bisma: at a Iwayside cottage and his subsequent surrender, Forbes and a fellow war ‘curresuoruknl slept at the chateau which the fallen emperor had occupied | the night before. The bedroom was just as Napoleon had left it, and by the bed the open book with which he they?" said bad read himself to sleep. It was Lytton’s “Last of the Barons.” Sit- ting at the adjoining writing table Forbes wrote his despatches, while his companion gnawed at a ham bone, SMALL PILL, SMALL DOSE, SMALL PRICE | GEEU’IN E must bear signature | ; : the little eating it of food.

Put in everyday English, Karma is the law that whatever you have com- ing to you is bound to catch up with you sooner or later, and you can't sidestep it. It may be good, or it may be bad, or it may be a little of both, but it will find you, no matter how many times you have moved eway without leaving your new address. And whatever it is it will be exactly what your own actions have made you deserve. Not an ounce more, nor an ounce less, nor a fraction thereof. Some people call this law Nemesis. Some call it by other names. Some don’t call if at all, but they don’t need to. It comes without calling. Some people say they don’t believe in it, and some scoff at it. But the law goes right on minding its own business and caying very little, Probably the majority of thinking people agree on this much—that some- how or other things are to be.evened up in the long run; that we are all zoing to get our’ just deserts before the final gong sounds, if there Is any. So suppose we let the word Karma stand for that idea and go ahead to see how the thing works out in the realm of modern business. The principle that we are punished by our sins, not for them, is pretty evident anywhere, but if you want to see it working hard and fast and all the time just take a look into the aver- age commercial concern. For quick returns in- this Karma business, com- mend me to the marts of trade. tilus. Woman Suffrage with a “Machine.” The woman suffrage party, having adopted a platform and effected a reg- ular organization,6 is now to be reck- oned with as a positical force, Tt now possesses all the party ma- chinery necessary for the conduct of a campaign, having a central committee with a city chairman at its head, dis- trict leaders in all but a few of the assembly. districts of Manhattan and active workers in all the boroughs, to- ®ether with new facilities for getting out the votes. It would be invidious to s it has a moss, but in Mrs. Car- rie Chapman Catt, city chairman, the party has a capable executive. In a word, it has a “machine,” and having that invaluable foundation for efficient campaligning, its opportunities have been largely creased. Glven that the machine operates harmoni- ousl— the woman’s party will be in a position to make deals with the older parties, to exercise a direct political stay sufficlently sober to Dbe ablé: to walk—Boston Transcript.
