Even so slight a mistake as the mis
placing of a comma brought sharp dis
appointment to a Frenchman in Wash
ington the other day, according to a re
port in the Pathfinder. The French
man had grown fond of horseflesh, it
is explained. , and was greatly pleased
on taking tip a bill of fare in one of the
fashionable restaurants of the capital
to rend : "I'ot roast horse, radish sauce.
The waiter was at his elbow, and the
people at the next table heard : the
Frenchman say, eagerly: "Bring to me.

Tho Law Times, of London, noils at
tention to the fact that the privy coun
cil, of which the cabinet is merely a
committee unknown to the law, has
entirely ceased to hold meetings for
purposes of deliberation and has be
come a body of a merely ceremonial
nature. So completely, however, have
the function of the two bodies been
dissociated that whereas the privy coun
cil cannot meet except under the presi
dency of the sovereign, the sovereign
cannot constitut onally preside at a
meeting of the cabinet.

That Still Survivft In Por

Principle Laid Down In Pari .Four
Centuries Ago aud Repealed as Long; , .
Ago as the French Revolution.
Parkman and others have told us all
about the mild, feudal system which
prevailed in French Canada down to
; 1854. The seignior received a grant of
' wild land, from the king on condition
that he should put settlers upon it. He
had to preserve the oak timber for ship
: building, and the red pine for the man.
j ufacture of i tar, and to. notifya the
' king's agents if he, found minerabi: on
the seigniory.:.' He had to (go through
tae orm of PBylnP liornage and fealty
tne kin8'' representative at Quebec
when he entered on possession, some
times oftener' nd to Pay '
Purchse money if he cold the estate
to the royal coffers, though he was al-
lowed a rebate of two-thirda for scash
down. The censitairc or habitant, who
held the land under the soignior, had
to pay the annual cens et rentes, often
a sol (cent), or half a sol, with half a
pint of wheat or a few live capons or
eggs for each arpent. The land-of the
censataire passed to his Koirs, but, in
case he sold during. his lifetime, the
lods et ventcs came into play, and one
twelfth of the purchase money .want
to the seignior. Hy the droit rte -re-trait
the seignior could compel a pur
chaser within forty days of tha sale to
transfer th property to him : at the
price paid if he thought it had not
fetcned enough. . f
The cen situ ire had to get his wheat
ground at the seignior's mill,. and on
some seigniories to have his bread
baked at the seignior's vvon, payipg a
toll in each case; to give a tithe of the
fish he caught to: the neignWr1 to -'lrf
corvee or road work, and to get out
stone and timber for public purposes.
Seigniors who could afford to Kunnort
a local magistrate were- cmpor-ered t6
administer superior? mean and inferior
justice on their estates, but as a class
they were very poor and this righk fell
into desuetude.
In 1854. says the New York Post, the
parliament of Canada bought out the
seigniors. There wernvlito of them, in
poHM-ssion of 220HofH, embracing 0,000,.
000 acre of cultivated bind. The
censltaire was given bis choice of two
things -the cens et r-.-nUM were capi
taliped, and he eouM cither pay tho
capital sum to thu seigniory in which
case, of cour.s,' tin got a elear titlo to
his hnldinrr, or continue on aa a tenant

WHALES IN BEHRING SEA.
Kearly AU the Valuable Bea Monslers
Have Lett the North Pacific.
The valuable whales have about all
disappeared from the North Pacific.
Behring and Okhotsk seas no longer
contain them, and the Arctic ocean is
the only recognized whaling ground
left. There are but fifty valers now
afloat in the western ocean, while a
half century ago there were six hun
dred auch ships. There are ten steam
vessels in this fleet and the rest are de
scribed by Harper's Weekly as relics
ancient barks and brigs that date
from the long ago, are seldom insured
and with difficulty secure crews. The
captain and crew go on shares or are
paid a percentage of the season's
catch, and six or eight whales will
credit the former with four or five
thousand dollars and the sailors with
a couple of hundred dollars each. For
three seasons one of the whalers has
not secured a single whale, while one
crew captured twenty-one whales in
the summer of 1801.
In 1891 Sitka was surprised by the
visit of a whaler, the first in the many
years since the Fair weather grounds
ot Mount St Elias were abandoned.
This ship had sailed in March for that
Old . ground, but off Prince William

in eight days, and a tenth had been

slightly deodorize the ship during its
sail into port, and it full disappointingly
short of the traditional whaler. But
it was interesting to visit it, and have
the cheerful mate ' show pieces of
whalebone six and seven feet in length
stacked up like cord wood;, to see the
boats, harpoons, knives and tackle and
the huge vats in the brick furnace oh
deck, where the mountains of blubber
are tried out. But the blubber and oil
are little regarded in this day. as
whalobonc at six dollars a pound is the
most valuable part of the monster.
Catching their whales so fast, this
crew had not time to cut up one whule
before another was cighted, and the
hold was filled with the blubber of the
Ant whale while they were busy har
pooning and cutting the bone from the
later catches. They had only four
hundred and thirty barrels of oil, and
the tongue of one whale yielded thir
teen of those barrels. From nine whalea
there came ten thousand pounds of
bone.
WOMEN TRAVELERS.
Aa Interesting Hetwtlnn ea Feminine
Ilaman Katare.
In England and on the continent
there are on all trains coaches lsheled
"la'iins only," in addition to the or
llnary and emokvrV carriages. As a
nsnal tiling thrte compart mrnU, in
tended for the ue of timid women
travt-lliv alone, are carefully avoided,
and on i'.a continent It Is not unusual
to imh women crowding Into the smok
ing carriage, while tiie "ludles otily"
are almost empty. A woman who
traveln a r"l b-al tells why she
thinks this it so. Her reaaons contain
an liteiating reflection on feminine
human nature.
"When I travel," she said. "I like to
be comfortable aa poMtible, and that
one cannot Iks where only women are.
All women are selfish, but they seldom
show It Ik-fore men. more especially if
tbe men are strange ra; with their own
arx, however, they have no such coro
pencllon. If one wants to put a few
Binbrellas or a hat bog on the rack it

no easy matter to do aa. No hand Is
lire to tied forth to make the neeeanary

AMERICAN AMUSEMENTS.
The Immense Amount of Money
Spent in Tnentora.
Large Army of Professionals Ar
Kept Busy f ortune Annually
. Spent in Travellas on the
ItttllroKils.
It is estimated that there are per
haps as many as 1,000 traveling theatri
cal companies in tho United States,
says the Washington Post. This in
cludes everything that can be .con
sidered strictly professional companies,
to say nothing of the countless amateur
organizations. Of t!v r.trietly theatri
cal organisations it isn;ifo to presume
that the average receipt'! per jiight for
tne i,wu compnnieB r.re H00 each. At
seven performaneus per week for each
company the weekly average, as will
be een would bo&J.K'j;). The average
theatrical season is forty weeks. The
entire 1,000 companies with m average
nightly receipt of $400 would produce
weekly receipts at seven pe-rturmuncos
per week amounting to 0,803,033. This
multiplied by forty, t'io number of
weeks in a s ison, would yield gross
receipts amounting to ,fnj.03,000.
Irora tUa above o .fmut'ri uo:aa idea
can be formed of what the American
people spend a;inua!ly for itnu-enionts
by compaaioH -which iim known as
strictly profe-wUrii-.l. . Thousands ot
dollars erj til;.o t-nent with amateur
