The Washington Past calls attention to the fact that on the 29.1 of June, just as our great campaign will be opening, the general election in Canada will be held. Heretofore the _ people of the United States have paid little attention to the Canadian elections. In fact, they have, as a rule, been far more in- terested in European than in Canadian politics. ' But this Parliamentary elec- tion in the Dominion is beginning to exite an exceptional interest on our side of the line, and the sympathy and good wishes of our people are decidedly on the side of the Liberals, notwithstand- ing the fact that they are in favor of free trade and their opponents are com- mitted to the policy of protection. The reason why the people of the United States desire the ousting of the Conservatives by a Liberal victory is that the present Conservative govern- ment has carefully made the most of every opportunity to make itself dis- agreeable to us, its next door neighbor. It has treated our fishermen in a way calculated to excite and perpetrate an- imosities. It has upheld its subjects in such depredation on our seals as have ~almost destroyed the great property which we bought and paid for. In the rrecent international discussion, grow-" ring out of the Venezuelan boundary indispute, it inveighed against the gov- «ernment and did much foolish talking s-aboutincreasing its military equip- arzne-nt. Indeed, there has scarcely been ‘a month,for years past In which the Canadian government has not mani- fested a narrow and often an unfriendly feeling toward the United States—— toward the country in which a million of Canadians have found homes and of which they have become citizens. Therefore, our people hope for a Lib- eral victory, rind, as a result of it, a marked change of policy. We want, continues the Post, to live in something more than nominal friendship with our brethren at the north of us. Important to High Livers. The medical authority of the New York Herald’s European edition, gave recently some practical directions for avoiding apoplexy. This affection has been compared to an accident caused by a tile falling on the head—"an artery bursts in, the brain; blood is spilled in the organ and ruptures it.” But this can only happen when the arteries of the brain have been weakened or have become diseased by arteritis, hardening, sclerosis or small aneurisms. The first step.1n the prevention of apoplexy is therefore to remedy any arterial malady which pre- disposes to cerebral hemorrhage. The preventive treatment (when the first symptoms of arteritis appear, such as vertigo, rapid fatigue of the brain, con- tinuous headache and certain visual troubles) is thus described :— ' It is advisable to cease all intellectual work, pay careful attention to the di- gestive functions and to take at each meal a small quantity of sodium arseni- ate with a little potassium iodide; fur- thermore, to take regular exercise with- out fatigue or exertion, avozding im- mobility after meals to partake only of simple and easily digestible foods and to abstain entirely from alcohol, li- quors or wines. ‘VV NEW CANAAN.

It Served 8. Wall Street Broker in Good Stead on One Occasion. I know in this city a southerner who has made his way from nothing to a comfortable fortune, says a. writer in the New York Press. He Was a. broker in Wall street, plodding slowly along, living from hand to mouth, with a. bank account that sometimes grew as big as eight hundred dollars. He met a capi- talist who wanted certain bonds, and, with a. commission of twenty-five hun- dred dollars in view, he undertook to . deliver them. He knew an old bond- f holder who had them, and his purpose 3 was to get them Without causing a. sud- J l I den rise in their value. The old fellow named his price, which was entirely satisfactory. The amount was twenty- five thousand dollars for the lot. My frieml went to his 01323:], drew a, check . for that sum and hen " it over. ' “Perhaps you know that it is cus- tomary in transactions of this kind to give a. certified check,”- said the bond- This was a stunning blow, almost a. I knockout, for a. man with a. bank ac- count of never more than eight hun- dred dollars, but'my friend, begging the old fellow’s ‘pardon for the oversight, started to get the proper certification. He went sti'aight to the cashier of his. bank and stated the whole case to him, explaining that he was to deliver the bonds within two hours and make his profit of twenty-five hundred dollars. “It is an unusual request,” the cashier said, with a. smile of half pity for the ignorance of his customer. “1 know it,” said the broker, “but I cannot lose this chance of making two thousand five hundred dollars. You. know I am honest. I have been a. de- positor here for two or three years, and have never before asked a. favor. I will have the cash here within two hourato make good the check, or will deposit the collateral.” The cashier hesitated. He who hesi- tates is lost. He looked the broker straight in the eye and said: ' “I will do it. I know you are an honest man. ” With a. certified check for twenty-five thousand dollars, the southerner re- turned for the bonds, much to the amazement of the old bondholder, who declared that if he had known his abil- ity to produce a certified check for that amount he would not have offered the bonds at all. He offered them as a bluff. But the bluff being called he had to yield. Inside of an hour a ‘d- a half the bonds were delivered tothe‘ - capitalist, and a. check for twenty-seven thousand five hundred dollars was de- posited at the bank. ' My friend has had many transactions. with the old bondholder since then, and he never fails to ask: “Do you wants. certified check?” to which the repl'y‘is: "N ever mind about it; I’ll take any s‘dr of check you give me.” '. _— MINKS IN AN pooo BATTLE.‘ They Fought Each Other Viciously and Voclferously, in the Water and Out. ' An unusual battle was witnessed at Greenwood lakeone day recently by Mr. Silas Pickering, of Newark, and old Steve Garrison, the veteran guide. Steve was rowing and Si was catching frogs for bass along the east shore of the lake, says the New York Sun? Suddenly they heard a. remarkable squealing, and as they turned a, point of rocks they saw on the shore of" alittle cove two full-grown minks in: combat. The usually shy animals were the approach of the boat, and Steve rowed up to within fifteen feet of them. ‘ The minks seemed each to be fight— . ing for a thrfiithold, and the way they spurred and scratched was highly in- teresting. Finally one caught the other by the back; and they rolled from the rock into the water, where theycontinued to fight as energetically as on the shore. Soon they emerged, separately, but clinched as soon as they were on the rock, and the fight waged sharper than ever. Both minks squealed al- most continuously as they snapped and scratched at each other. . Three times they pitched frOrn the sloping rock into the water and crawled out to renew the fight. ashore, but after another such dip only one came up. The other had evidently tired of the fight and sneaked away under water. The victor crept upon the rock and, not seeing his adversary, began to strut and fro as if much pleased with himself. Suddenly he caught sight of Pickering’s striped blazer and fled into the bushes. x- Tit for Tat. , _ I' In a.

TUE first colored man to work on a street car in Detroit was appointed niotorman on one of the trolley cars running on the principal route in tho city a few days ago. SOME people in White Pigeon, Mich, assert that their horses arc frightened by the appearance of women in bloom~ crs, and the city council has been pe- titioned to prevent women from going on the streets in those garments. THE south maintains its reputation for conservatism. It is noted as an in. teresting piece of news in several Vir— ginia. newspapers that recently a. young woman bicyclist lins appeared in New- port News wearing bloomers. SAN FBANCISCO‘S fire department committee has declared against tall buildings and recommended the pas- sage of an ordinance prohibiting the erection of fireproof buildings of a greater height than 160 feet. and providing that buildings that are not fireproof shall not exceed eighty feet in height. ‘ THE first penny post to be established in this country was in 1753 in Philadel- phia, and two: years later was extended into New England by Benjamin Frank- lin.

THE idea of air-tight. compartments in ships was suggested by the peculiar construction of the nautilus. The shell of this animal has forty or fifty com- partments, into which air or water may be admitted, to allow the occupant to sink or float, as it pleases. THE British bark Omega arrived at. Port Townsend with a crew that in— cluded but one white man, and that one the captain, an Englishman. The rest of the crew were Japanese and Chinese.

The English statesman * was fascinated, and although the first .con- sul said nothing definite or precise, ‘ his visitor departed convinced that his host. desired nothing but peace. with a. liberal policy, both domestic and for- eign, as far as was consistent with safety. But the attacks of the Bug lish press became none the less viru- lent in consequence of Fox’s favorable report, or of his brilliant defense of France from his place in parliament. Toward the close of January Talley- rand remondtrated with Whitwort‘h, this time giving point to his remon- . strance by a plump demand as to what England intended to do about Malta. Whitworth replied that he was with- ~ out instructions, and made an evasive answer, hinting that the king's opiu- ion of the changes which had taken place in Europe since the treaty might be of importance in determining him as to the disposal of the island. This; was the first intimation that England did not intend to keep her promise. A few days laterSebastiuni returned from the east, and on January 30, 1803, the Moniteur published his thorough and careful report. It was a long; doc- ument, fully explaining every source of English weakness in the orient, and ‘ set-ting forth the possibilities of re- es‘tablishing French colonies in Egypt and the Levant. There was only our; menacing phrase, but. it expressed. an unpalatable truth, that “six thousand French troops could now conquer Egypt.” The publication in England of this paper raised a. tremendous pop ulzir storm, and it has pleased many ' historians to re~nrd Bonaparte’s course as a virtual dezlnration of war. fealitv it was merely a French Roland for an English Oliver.
