Even now that civilisation has spread throughout the length aud breadth of the Northern Continent, when many of the Red Indians even are taking to that uncomfortable headgear, the silk hat, and matriculating at universities, there are portions of the States in which a disciple of St.

Hubert may find a free scope for indulging his propensities. The progress has been so rapid that readers of Mr. Messiter'a volume may well rub their eyes and almost feel it in their hearts to accuse him of exaggeration. He describes his adventures in the Sixties, and in portions of the volume one might almost imagine one's self poring over one of Fennimore Cooper's or Mayne Reid's Indian tales with this difference, however, that the literary skill of those more-practised writers is not recalled in the author's narrative. Mr.

Messiter does not pretend to be one of those crack shots who can scarcely bring themselves to admit having missed their aim, nor does he give his readers any advice as to those vital spots in which to strike is to kill. He gives one the impression of a lover of sport, not always particularly skilful or even discriminating as to the game he brings down, but full of go and energy, and eminently truthful. He admits to having had to put fifteen or sixteen bullets into a buffalo before stopping it, and to having had at times to retire before the Indians, with whom ho had many a brush. His account of the hardships of a winter Bpent in a log hut, far from any settlement, is one which would make many a man shiver and draw closer to his fire on a cold night and the dangers from prowling Indians, cattle and horse lifters, as well as from wolves, bears, and pumas, are graphically described. It will never again be possible to hunt over the same ground as Mr.

Messiter, for at his last visit, in 1878, he found that ranches and enclosures had changed the face of the country, that with the exception of a stray deer or antelope, all big game had disappeared, and the buffalo avus a thing of the past. As a description of the state of the country in comparative recent times, the book is not without interest. Sport and Adventure among the North American Indians.

Cab and Noiseless Tyre Company (Limited) ha arisen out of the men's meeting held in Hyde-park on Good Friday.

Immediately after the meeting a communication was sent to the Chairman and secretary of the company to the effect that their drivers would work on Good Friday and Easter Monday under protest, and at the same time a demand was made for a reduction in hiring rates during the height of the season equivalent to 1 16s. 8d. per cab on six days hire. A meeting of the directors of the company was at once convened, and a rerjlv ripe for change. The movement was no retrograde one, for the chief lesson learnt by Italy from ancient Greece was to lake Nature for her guide.

The directors also pointed out that iu their opinion the S.T. cabs were the cheapest for men working regularly. Yesterday morning notices were posted in the yards that the rate of hire would remain unaltered. Thereupon the drivers refused to take out the cabs, and the directors, who were fully prepared for such an emergency, forthwith commissioned Messrs.

Freeman, of Sr. Martin's-lane, to sell, on the premises, the company's stock of over 300 working horses, the usual drafts of winter horses having been already disposed of. The decision to sell the remainder was based upon the belief that a strike with tiie present drivers would entail serious loss. It is the intention of the directors, however, gradually to start their business again 83 oon as more reliable and steady drivers can he secured. The largest part of the company's business is in their pateut rubber tyres, and this, of course, will be carried on as usual.

The first signs of the Renaissance of music were observable at Venice in the early part of the sixteenth century.

The Venetians, through their commercial associations with the East, had become infected with a love of colour, which amounted almost to a passion. What they possessed in their palaces of coloured marbles, their garments of brocade and Tyrian dye, they desired also in their pictures and their music. Titian, Gior-gione, Carpaccio, and many others arose to supply the hrst demand, but where was the colourist who should paint in keys 1 Strangely enough, he appeared at length in the person of Adrian Willaert, a disciple of the celebrated Flemish school, who was appointed chapel-master of St. Mark's, Venice, in 1527.

4.2 JO THE REFORMATION. The death of Mr. Aubrey Moore in January, 1890, was a serious loss to Oxford theology. His volume on Science and the Faith had won for him a reputation for deep scholarship and very wide and well-digested knowledge, while its arguments were temperate as well as liberal in the best sense of that word. His posthumous volume on the Reformation consists of the lectures which he delivered between 1880 and 1889 as deputy to the Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History.

A good many of them are, it is true, rather notes for lectures than finished compositions, and some are mere skeletons. The result is that they belong not so much to general literature as to the class of works which are mainly useful to students, though they are also valuable as books of reference. Few human beings except such as are reading for a degree in divinity could have the patience to study so very dry a book from end to end. It is full of names and dates, of hard facts and exhaustive deductions, and nobody can fail to appreciate Mr. Moore's profound learning, and his power of condensing his 4ti 7.U0 5 3-io 34 o.lu 3.fi o.7U Uuj 2fl "ill .05 4.2." 20.

What Napoleon began the much-needed musical reformation of the eded in the Concordat he withdrew virtually Mass, while Peri at Florence, and a little later i.e Jraan'ic Laws, which asserted the religious Monteverde at Mantua, devoted their enemies determine the future rate of wages. Mr.

B. Hingley, M.P., who presided, said the average selling price siiowed a reduction of per ton on the previous fortnightly return, and the employers would be entitled to a reduction of 2A percent, in wages, but as uo reduction had beeu made iu the northern iron district they did not propose to a-k for any reduction in midland wages. It was decided that the wages bais should remain at 8s. 6d. per ton for puddling until the first Saturday in June.

The board then considered the question of the rate of wages paid in the sheet mills, serious differences having arisen in some districts. Eventually a committee of employes was appointed to take into consideration the rate of wages paid within the district of the wages board with a view to secure uniformity as far as practicable. An authoritative statement was made yesterday on behalf of the Liverpool shipowners that they look upon the proposal to form boards of reference in lahour disputes as wholly unnecessary and likely to prove entirely futile. On board ship discipline and prompt compliance with all lawful commands is absolutely necessary for safety. On shore trade unionism seeks to do away with night work, without which it would be impossible to carry on the business of the port.

The Employers' Labour Association, which 12 months' ago declined the arbitration of the Chamber of Commerce and the Mayor, and made such sacrifices to ensure the control of their own business, have, therefore, resolved to have no intermediaries between themselves and their workmen.

But this is sometimes useful. The work marks a change from the time when the Reformation was the battleground of theological parties, and was in the Oxford Movement the subject of the Rev. W. G.

Ward's fierce attacks, and of Dr. Pusey's rather unexpected defence.

In the evening there was a considerable improvement in the form of Dawson, who in his first two breaks ma.de 350 (111 spots), and 2S9 (98 spots).

whole route. culture which had resulted from the general development of the art. It is a melancholy fact that every period of Renaissance, whether in the history of an art or of a nation, is invariably followed by a period of decadence. Thus, by the middle of the seventeenth century, the love of realism began to yield to a worship of the merely beautiful, and the practical was lost in the ornamental," till the delicate refinement of the Renaissance was weighed down with the grotesque exuberance of a rococo taste. The author concludes by attempting to sketch, on rather too small a canvas, the influence of Renaissance thought upon the work of contemporary musicians in Germany, France, and England.

The returns of typhoid and diphtheria in Victoria show a great decrease as compared with last year, the number being only about one-third of what it was in lS'JO.

In connection with this object, the Melbourne authorities are greatly interested in a discovery of a cure for both typhoid and diphtheria which is claimed to have been made by Dr. O'Hara, of Melbourne, after experiments with M. DeBavay, the bacteriologist. During an operation on a patient. Dr.

SIR, It is very satisfactory to a lover of horses to see the initiative taken by such an authority as the Duke of Portland, and all the more that he does not spoil his case by ignoring the fact that the bearing-rein is occasionally necessary to enable one to drive certain horses with safety, to say nothing of comfort. It seems to me, however, that the remedy commences too late when we content ourselves with forbidding our coachman to use a bearing-rein. I would suggest that we one and all refuse to purchase from any dealer who showed us his horses with a bearing-reiu and even to carry it further than that and to have no dealingn with those we notice driving their horses with them.

In the first place, I believe that the reason a great many horses require bearing up is that their mouths have been spoilt by dealers driving them with bearing-reins and severe bits in order to make them step high and in the second, we Bhould, I fancy, be far more satisfied with our purchases after we had owned them a few weeks, and should also be less likely to be cajoled iuto purchasing the wretched foreign brutes now being driven about town in the dealers' breaks, and which wo should certainly not look at twice if we saw them carrying their heads as nature intended them to. Yours. B. G. T.

It was in this character that she delighted to appear during her brief post-nuptial sojourn in the Convent of Origny, where she was in the habit of stealing into the rooms of the elderly nuns while they slept, and adorning their faces with patches and rouge, so that when they attended the early Mass, having dressed in the dark to be in time for the first of the daily offices, it was ouly the dim lights of the chapel candles that revealed the trick which had been played on them.
