Almost all the newspapers of Paris speak in very favorable terms of the new Ministry. The Paris correspondent of the ’j'imos says : “The new Cabinet cannot fail to be welcom- ed by Europe.

The Thunder Bay Sentinel proposes a scheme for the laying; of a submarine cable between Thunder Bay and Marquette, in other words, connectingr the north and south shoer of Lake Superior by telegraph. The scheme,“ carried out, says the A'm't/I Shore ill/VIM, would revolutionize the tele- graphic system of the Northwest. It would give an almost air line between Milwaukee, Chicago and other large cities and Thunder Bay, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, and on the comple- tion of the Canadian Pacific railway there will no doubt he direct eonnnunieation he- tween British Columbia and Japan, China and all parts of Asia. The Senate concurred in the bill for the three months’ prolongatiun of the commer- clal treaties. A grant of 60,000,000 francs for militar expenses in Tunis during February and March, 1882, was voted. The deposits on which the Union Gene- rale was obliged to pay interest exceeded one hundred million francs.

M. Andrieux giasz notice that; he would, on Thursday, submit 11, proposal looking to the amelioration of the condition of the Par- is and Lyons bourst-s. Such points as Prince Al‘tlu11"s Lfinlling, Fort \Villiam, Silver Islet and Isle Royale would derive the greatest benefit from such a menus of communication. At present the only wires connecting Prince Arthur’s Landing with the principal parts of Canada go by way of \Vinnipeg through the States, round by Chicago and thence to their des- tination, at such a high ‘ute that it almost prevents any business being done over the wires except local or western.

It was reported that they had sent in for the destitute ones of the Minds, who we‘re left at home, but this is not so, for they are still there. and in a destitue condition. But its most direct henefit would be to the people of Canada, for not only would it afford the residents of the Northwest a direct line to the principal cities of the United States, hut would also give a. much shorter line to the residents of Ontario, Quel-ce and the maritime provinces in their messages to the Northwest, this of course only on the eompletionof a proposed line from Marquette to the Sault. LATE FRENCH NEWS. 9o 44-} 09; The more 1 think about the (‘lUDllilIlto, the more wonderful they seem to me. The great, clumsy creatures are so very know- ing, so very loving, and so like human be~ ’ings in many of their qualities. They know their power well, and they also know just when they must not use it. Deacon (lreen tells me that keepers and trainers of elephants often lie down on the ground and let the huge fellows step right over them; and that they feel perfectly save in doing so, because they know the elephants will pick their way carefully over the pro- strate forms, never so much as touching them, still less treading on them. Yet the mighty creatures can brush a. man out of ex1stence as easily as a man can brush away a fly. And what delicate tastes they have~ delighted, I’m told, with strawber- ries, gum-drops, or any little dainty of that. kind 1 They are fond of bright colors, too, and travellers tell wonderful tales of see- ing elephants gather flowers with the great est cure, and smell them, apparently with the keenest pleasure. >50, possibly, we are intended to take all our breath thxough the nose, unluss neces- sit ' drives us to breathe through the month. There are many other reasons why we ought to make our noses furnish all the air to our lungs. One is, the nese is filled with a little forest of hair, which is always kept moist, like all the inner surfaces of the nose, and particles of dust that would otherwise rush into the lungs 21ml make trouhle, are caught and kept out by the little hairy netâ€" work. Then the passages of the nose are longer, and smaller, and more erookeil than that of the mouth, so that as it passes through them the air becomes warm. But these are only a few reasons why the nose ought not to be switched oll‘ and left idle, as so many noses are, while their owners go pulling through their mouths. a mile and a quarter at one dash, and I was not wou‘y 1101' blown. Antl now 1 {1111 goâ€" ing to give you the secret : B/‘NIHN‘ Hmong/z your nose .’ I had boon thinking what poor runners we are, and “ondcring why the animals can run so far. and it came to me that per- haps this might account for the (lifl'orenuu, that they always taK’c air through the nose, while we usually begin to puff through our months before we have gone many rods. Some animals, such as tho (log and the fox, do open their mouths and pant while run- ning, but they do this to cool themselves, and not because they can not get air enough through their noses.

The Presbyterian Church began its work therein 1872, and numbers 4,000 members. The Methodist Episcopal Church sent missionaries in 1878, and now has 337 members in full commotion and 378 on probation. The Protestant Epis- copal Church has 3,500 members. The first introduction of the Bible into the country was by the soldiers and chaplains of the United States army in 1847. But, stop a, moment. I «lon‘t mean that most boys can't run fastâ€"“l mean they can’t run far. I don’t believe there is one boy in fifty, of those who may read this, who can run a quarter of a mile at a good smart pace without having: to blow like a porpoise by by the time he has made his distance. And how many boys are there who can run, fast or slow, a. full mile without stopping ‘3 It hardly speaks well for our race, does it, that almost any animal in creation that pretends to run at all can outrun any of us ? Take the smallest terrier-dog you can find, that is sound and not a puppy, and try a. race with him. He’ll beat you badly. He’ll run a. third faster than you can, and ten times as far, and this with legs not more than six inches long. I have a hound so ac- tive that he always runs at least seventy~five miles when I stay a day in the woods with him; for he certainly runs more than seven miles an hour, and if I am gone ten hours, you see he must travel about seventy miles of distance. And then, a good hound will sometimes follow a fox for two days and nights without stopping, going more than three hundred and fifty miles, uml he will do it without eating or sleeping. Then, you must have h :nrd how some of the runners of the South African tribes will run for long (1istzuiccsâ€"huudrcds of milcs-â€"â€" carrying dispatL-hcs, and making very few stops.

If the boys will try this plans they will soon see what at difference it will make in their endurance. After you have run a few rods holding your mouth tightly closed, there will come a time when it will seem as though you could not get air enough through the nose alone; but dont give up: keep right on, and in :L few moments 3011 will overcome this.
