No doubt the young Liberals will declare for.it by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Mowt, though deeply devoted to british connection, stated the other day" at Woodstock that he hopeil a cbang if one' most come, would be 10 independence instead of annexation. Sir John MacDonald, it is"true, still appears to favor annexa Tion as the best alternative to depen dence. He first manifested his spirit about seven years ago in a speech at the Pavilion. The other day he said unless uiisreported by bis supporter, ir. Knowles, of Prince "Albert, N. W. T.. that annexation is the only alter native to the N. P. But we do not think his annexationist leanings are approved even -by young Conserva tives, It i- evident that Canada, in the exercise of the full treaty making right which independence would give, could do fat better than enter the American ' Republic, which has an immense trouble ahead in the negro question, which has a constitution of iangtrous rigidity, ana wnicu i dominated by ide is iu some respects not only different from, but hostile to, our own.

Note and Queriee. - It is said that on one of the weary meats, when the Virerin Mother and the Holy Son were fly. log with bt. Joseph into a straoge and. shivering with fatigue 'and odd, Mary could go no further, bat sank down upon the sand of the desert, with the Divine Child still olasped in her arms. . At length St. Joseph disoerned a cleft between two large rocks, which would be some shelter , from the cold night wind : and having laid a mantle npon the ground, he plaoed the virgin and Jesus there to rest. At the foot of the rook a little flower was blooming, a lowly, hum ble thing that eoaroe a traveler would have heeded a flower of a bright red hue. Bat that night, daring the silence and 8tillneB8, when the only watchers were the gleaming stars in heaven above, Mary rose to give nourishment to ' Jesus, and as she nursed him-singing a sweet low hymn to soothe Him to sleep one drop of her milk fell on the lowly ittle flower which bloomed at ber feet. From that -moment its hue fled forever, but it was fairer and lovelier by far, for the little thistle bad grown white as snow ana nas so remained to this very boar, in re membrance of the night when Mary and the infant Jesus rested so very near it. MAN'S 8KCLL, Its Relation to lbs Veigbt of tbe Flgara Nature. At the recent meeting of the con gress of German men of scienoe and physicians at Heidelberg, Herr O. Amnion submitted to the anthropolo gical section some interesting results of observations be had made in Baden. These observations related to 5,000 soldiers. The tall men had generally long skulls of medium ienertb. whereas tbe short men bad round skulls. Most of the round- skulled men came from the Black Forest: the long-skulled usually be longed to the valley of the Rhine and were especially numerous in towns and in the neighborhood of tbe castles of ancient families. From this' fact Herr Ammon concluded that the round-skulked' men had been the original inhabitants of the Rhine valley, thai they had been driven from it by long- skulled invaders, and that the latter had established themselves near the settlements of their victorious lead ers. Having shown that there is a certain relation between the height of the figure and tbe shape of the skull, Herr Ammon weat oa to in dicate the relation between fair hair and blue ey s. No fewer than 80 per cent, of the men with blue eyes bad fair hair. He found also that physi cal growth is generally quicker in xne case or tne Drown-eyea ioau in that of the blue-eyed type. - HE DIDN'T LIKE IT. .J Too nacb Formalins to Salt Hlm.Sl Hew York Tribune.

Gabe accepted the offer, and took away with him'a brand new bible,and began his wrestle with the Scriptures. Two weeks later Gabe returned, Bible in hand, : "Well, Gabe, how did you like the book?" Gabe hesitated to reply and was pressed further. SVell. Marse Colquitt, I tells you how it is. I don't like de book nohow." "Explain yourself; I don't catch your meaning,", said the Senator, "What part of the Bible did you1' read, Gabe?"

"Once I invested $1,000 in real eststa." said Perkins, "and doubled it in less than six months. That was Ihe best investment I ever made. Pretty good, wasn't it ?" "I'vedocie better than that," said Brown. "Two years ago I was told by all my friends that I was going into consumption, and I thought they were right about it. I had a dry, backicg cough, no appetite, my sleep came by fits aud starts, and seemed to do me no good, and-of ten there was a dull, heavy pain in my chsst. I kept grow ing weaker and weaker, and at last night sweats set in. I thought it was all up with me then. I had consulted two dectors and taken quarts of their medicine, and received no benefit from it. One day I happened to read something about Dr. Pieroe'r Golden Medical Discovery, and I made up my mind to give it a trial, but I didn't expect it would helo me. I invested a dollar in a bottle of it, and it helped me from tbe first dose. It helped and it cured me, and when I compare my present good health with tbe miserable health of two years ago I think I am safe in saying that my investmsnt was n mnnh hettar one than vours. You can't . reckon health by any measure of dollars and cents; if you could I should say that I had realized at least a million from my $1.00 investment."

By Telegraph to the Horning Star. Chicago, December 18 The trading in wheat was moderate and the market ruled steady and a trifle firmer, though bo special new features were developed. The opening was 4Jc higher, ruled firmer and advanced with slight fluctuations lc more, then ruled easier and prices receding ic and again became firm, advanced slightly and closed c higher than yesterday. Corn was fairly active; the bulk of trade consisting of transactions in May and other futures being rather neglected. The feeling early was easy and a better tone was devel oped, after which the market ruled strong. There were no new or important features and values were governed to a great extent by local influences. Towards tbe close of the session a sharp demand for December sprang up, a prominent local trader purcha sing in moderate quantities through a corn mission house, and the price was bid up to 85c, owing to light offerings, eased off. ic, and closed with sellers at 34fc, Oats were more active in the way of covering op trades. One ooerator bought one million May at 28i28T2. getting over 700,000 bushels in two lota from the longs. A steadier feeling prevailed, and closing prices were at a light advance. Mess Pork Only limited business was reported. Prices ruled a trifle higher, and tne market closed steady. Lard Very little business was done and the feeling was easy. Prices without ma terial change, rather favored buyers. Short Ribs Moderately active. The feeling was rather firm, and in some in stances slight advances in prices were gained.
