All Halloweve or "All Fools Eve"
was duly celebrated by tbe sewer gang.
Higns were removed and a few new
oues appeared. Tbe printing was done
with the only stnclU in town and ean
be readily aceouuted for. This kind of
work and slaying around the church
until S o'clock in tbe morning ia a
kind of business that could be stopped
if the Five Council could afford to keep
a hired marshal.
That reminds us that the private
organ was not placed in tbe church for
the youths to learn to waits by.
Neither is the church a lodging bouse
for young ladies and Bleu to recline
upon tbe benches while sobering up
from the effects of a late debauch,
neither Is it s St place for old women
to personally address sinners and get
in private digs at persona wbo are ab

FAITHFUL BUT HELPLESS.
TawUnf Tate at aa Old Bwiaat af Qoaaa
Victoria.
Id the vLife of James Holme may bo
1 mind a pathetic story of a man named
Damer, the scion of a royal house, who,
in the latter part of the eighteenth
century, was one of the queen's pages.
She grew to have a very warm regard
for him, bnt the time came when, on
account of increasing age and infirmity,
he was pensioned off, and aome one else
was pat to his place.
It grieved him much to change hia
habits, but he was in some degree con
soled at being allowed to attend cer
tain royal entertainments, and it was
at one of these that he disunguisnea
himself by a somewhat eccentric action
which greatly amused his former mis
tress. -
Be was wandering forlornly about,
lone, when the queen, ever mindful of
her old and tried servanta, hastened to
ward him with extended hand and
word of kindly greeting.
He took the proffered hand and held
it for a moment, while he gated with a
smiling though pnasled expression at
tne queen. Then be said: .
"I know that facet I know it aa well
aa I know any face, bnt pardon me,
madam I cannot for the life of me
recollect where I have seen it!"
"Poor Damer!'' said, the queen, with
a sorrowful smile, as she turned away.
"Poor Damert"
The old man looked after her for a
moment, and then asked a passing gar
dener who the lady might be.
"Why, the queen."
Damer laughed.
"I'm afraid," said he, "her majesty
will think 1 have forgotten her!"
THE WEALTH OF NATIONS.
Our Camatry Baa Mora Thaa a Qoarter af
The wealth of the United States is
more than a fourth as great as that of
all of tne rest of the world put to
gether. So reports Prof. Francois, a
student of political economy, in a re
cent number of Monde Moderns,
French publication.
He places the wealth of this country
at 813.000.000,000 franca which ia
equivalent to about 62,00u,000,000-rand.
that of tne other eignteen countries
covered by hia statistics at 1,14,700,-
000,000 franca.
According to thia statistician the
value of all property owned in England,
including money in circulation, ia 265,
000,000,000 franca 48.000.000,000 leaa
titan this country's wealth. Third place
is given to France with 225,000.000.000
and fourth to Germany with 101,000,
.130.000 franca. Then come Russia with
127.000,000,000, Anstria-Hungsry with
83,000,000,000, Spain with 63.000.000,000
Italy .with M,u00,000,000,or milliards and
as the French aay of francs.
These are the richest countries of the
world. There are four in the list
Italy, Spain, Russia and Austria-Hungary
whose combined wealth is only a
little larger than that of the United
rUatee. - .
It is true that much of the wealth of
thia country ia in the bands of com
paratively few people. Even if tbe
inequality were aa bad as reported by
the wont of the discontents, tne condi
tion of the masaes here would still be
much better than H is in Europe,
Wealth la more concentrated even in
England than in the United States.
Calaas. Cannibal.
. The Chinese are cannibals. China's
so-called civilisation of thousands of'
years hasnot succeeded in doing away
with cannibalism among its own
people. When Chinese have been en
gaged'in warfare with tribes on the
mainland, we hear of this eating of hu
man flesh, but not until I reached For
mosa did I have proof of its troth.
After killing a aavage on the island, the
head ia severed from the body snd is
placed on a pole to exhibit to those un
fortunates who are not at hand to wit
ness this heartless display of slaughter
end mutilation. The body is then divid
ed among the captors and eaten. The
kidney, liver, heart and aole of the foot
are considered the most desirable por
tions, and are usually eat up in very
small pieces, belled, and eaten as a sort
of soup. The flesh and bones are boiled
and made into a jelly. The Chinese
profess to believe, in accordance with
an old superstition, that the eating of
this savage flesh will give them
strength and courage. To some this
superstition may be a partial excuse for
this horrible custom, bat even that falls
through if one stops to think that su
perstitious beliefsare at the bottom of
cannibalism as practiced -by the most
aavage tribes of the world.
AntkrallT of the Barp.
W. S. Macuonald. of Glasgow, in a
recent lecture before the Highland
society of London, traced the history of
the harp from the shadows of mythol
oiry to the present day. It is, hessid,
the first musical instrument on record
and was the principal one of ancient
and medieval times. All the skill and
artistic genius of the Egyptians were
'uvished upon its design and decora-
lion. The Druids first brought the
tune and pitch of the harp to perfco
liun. It attained tbe height of its
favor in modern times in 1810, when
Sebastian Erard, of London, brought it
to the front rank of musical instru
ments. It has been inseparably con
nected with the traditions and lore of
the Gaelic people from time immemo-
riaL
aay FarfuaMS.
It is an interesting thing to know
that 4,200 species of plants are gathered
and used for commercial purposes in
Europe. Of these 420 have a perfume
that hi pleasing and enter largely into
die manufacture of scents, soups and
.Bahcts. There are more species of
..viiite flowers gathored than of any
.iiLier color 1,1s. Of these 187 have
.i agreeable scent, an extraordinarily
