It may not be generally known that the steeple of St. James' Cathedral, (Church of Lngland), Toronto, is the highest in Ameri- ca. The tip cf It stands 316 feet from the ground. The sphere of Trinity Church, 2s ew York is said to be the highest in the United States. It is 2S4 feet high. St. Pstrick'a Cithedral, now being erected m Nuw York, will have a steeple 330 feet high. Buuker Hill Monument, of Boston, is 221 feet, and the United States Capitol, Washington, 307 feet. The two next high- est steeples in Canada appear to be the Mon- treal English Cathedral, 224 feet, and Notre dame Cathedral, of the same city, 220 feet. UXITED .ST.^TES.

A Pwoman cardinal, will probably be sent to the United States next year to preside over the council to be held there. It is thought that this gave rise to the report that a Papal nuncio would be accredited to the United States Government, Prof. Brooks, an astronomer of Phelps, N.Y,, thinks the reason for the strange red appearance of the sky about sun-rise and sun set during the last week in Novrfmber, was that the eaith was probably passing through the tail of a great comet. One of the most noted of the negro popula- tion of the United States, was Sojourner Truth, a noted lecturer and worker in general Christian work. She died at Battle Creek, Michigan, recently, at the great age of lOS years. She was much respected by all classes. At the recent visit of President Arthur to New York it was thought the right thing to fire a salute in his honor, but those whose duty it was to do so neglected to procure the powder. At the last moment a quantity of British powder was borrowed of an English war ship in port. The New Yorkers have, therefore, smelt British gun powder again, and no harm came from it. In unloading the steamer St. Paul at De- troit a few 4ays ago two carboys of nitric acid were let drop into the hold and broken. The smoke and flames from the acid were so dense and pungent that all hands had to leave the hold at once, and one or two men came near losing their lives by inhaling the fumes. The vessel took fire and had to be scuttled and sunk to preventits desti action. Recently, at Portsmc.ith, Massachusetts, in making certain improvements on Coles' Hill, graves of the pilgrims who came over in the Mayjloicer and who were buried dur- ing the first winter have been discovered. One was opened which contained a skele- ton of a middle-aged man. In another the skeleton of an elderly man was discover- ed. These are the only graves of the first settlers positively identified. Tablets are to be placed to mark the exact locatitn. A policeman, named AIocZo Bullard^ was shot down and killed in the streets oi Detroit last week by a desperado named Wilson, whom he was trying to arrest. Bjllard was a native of Westminster, near London, Ont., but several years a resident of Detroit. Wil- son was suspected of having stolen a barrel of oil and is reported a bad character. The murderer made his escape, to Canada, it ia supposed. There is a reward of §1,000 offer- ed for his arrest. GREAT BRITAIN. It is currently reported, that the Queen is anxious to have Lord Lome appointed Governor of India, but that Mr. Gladstone is not so sanguine about the matter. There may be nothing in the report. The Irish troubles continue as great as ever. Within, a fortnight over thirty arrests were made ia Dublin on charges to destroy property by explosives and connected witti the Fenian brothethood. There was a great Orange demonstration in October in Ii eland in which Lord Ross- more took a prominent part. For doing so his commission as a justice of the peace was cancelled by the Govemment, and explana- tions ssked, Mr. Gladstone, being a zsalous church- man, often reads the lessons in the church service, at Hawarden, near his residence. His son is the rector. Many persons often go in order to hear the great Premier take part in %he service. Stanley, the African explorer, is returning to Eorope. It is said that the Belgian African Association, by whom he has been employed, are di«»ti8fied with his adminis- tration of affairs, in their colony settlement, and have recalled him.

Mrs. John Raser, of near New Centrerille, TredyfiErin township, ia the owner of a beautiful tame polecat that appears very much attached to her. The animal was caught by her son last spring, when it was still quite small, and cared for. Soon it commenced to grow very rapidly and show- ed a decidedly wicked temper when any one else than Mrs. R»8er came near it, making an effort to bite all who attempted to touch it but her. She could stroke its back, take it in her lap, or do whatever she pleaded with it, and in a short time it commenced to follow her aroond like a kitten. It was allowed to wander about the kitchen when she was about, and did so in as frolicsome a manner as a playful kitten of the domestic species as long as she was alone, but the mo- ment anyono else appeared it would run and hide out of sight. Mrs. Raser is the owner of two English beadle hounds and one large Newfoundland dog. For the two former the little animal from its infanjy always showed a decided hatred, and soon commenced to attskck them, whenever they came near, al- ways succeeding in clearing them out of the house in perfect terror, by reason of the severe bites that it was able to give them with its sharp teeth and frisky movements, whenever it caught them inside. They have now got 60 that they keep well out jf his reach. Toward the lar^e dog it has always showed a different disposition, hewever. Instead of attempting to bite, it made friends with hii;i, and now it can be seen following him in a frolicsome manner, attempting to catch and play with his large, bushy tail whenever opportunity presents itself. "The other day," said Mrs. Raser to a reporter who visited her home, " the Newfoundland dog came in with its tail matted with burs that had become tangled in its hairs. As soon as he sat down Jumbo (meaning the polecat) noticed the burs and set to work to extract them, doing so as ricely as it could have been done with the most nimble fingers, and the dog let it go on with its werk until they were all picked out." The cat has new grown to its full size and still feels perfectly contented with its home. It has grown less shy of the other members of the family and of strang«rs, but still insists that none but Mrs. Raser shall touch it. It has made its nest in a closet, and whenever Mis. Raser ia not about i* will seek this and go to sleep. It has learn- ed to know the hours when the family takes its meals, and as regularly will put in an appearance to be fed at just such times. It will appear in the dining-room and sit up on its haunches like a begging dog at the side of Mrs. Raser until she serves it with its meal. If it chances to be shut out of the room it will come to the door and tap with one of its paws until it is heard and admit- ted. Its hair is unusually long and very glossy. Immediately over its eyea there is a spot of white hair extending squarely across its forehead an I then, after ending abruptly on both sides, passes backward, growing narrower as it does so until almost a complete triangle is formed, but there the white divides into two lines about one inch in width each and six inches long, which curve gracefully off in opposite direc- tions, terminating on each side of the body just back of the shoulders. Tne rest of the nair is glossy and perfectly black. Alto- gether, the aniaial is a very pretty ene, aad about the house it, ia perfectly cleanly in its habits. Il is not the first animal of a wild disposition that Mts. Raser has tamed in a similar m.bnner, she having been equally as successful two or three years ago in domesti- cating a ground hog, which last spring chanced to wander out on the track of the Chester Valley railroad, near the house, and was killed by a passing train. To show that the polecat has become thoroughly domesti- cated, Mrs. Raser informed our reporter that a few nights ago it had been left out all night, and next morning was found curl- ed up on the front door-step. â€" Westchester (Pa.) Village Becord. How to Preyent DiTorce. When the senior Jonathan Trumbull was governor of Connecticut, a gentleman called at his house, requesting to see his excellency. Accordingly, he was shown into hia sanctum sanctorum, and the governor came forward to meet iSquire W., saying, " Good morn- ing, sir, I am glad to see you." Squire W. returned the salutation, add- ing as he did so. "I have called upon a very unpleasant errand, air, and want your advice. My wife and I do not live happily together, and I am thinking of getting a divorce. What would you advise, sir " The governor sat a few minutes in deep meditation, then, turning to Squire Wv said I " How did you treat Mrs. W. when yoa were courting her and how did you {*el toward her at the time of your marriage '•" Squire W. replied I " 1 treated her as kindly as I could, for I loved her dearly at thi. time." •' Well, sir," said the governor, " go home and court her now just as you did then, and love her as when you married her. Do this in the fear of the Lord for one year, and then tell me the result." The governor then said, "Let us pray." They bowed in prayer, and separated. When a year had passed away, Squire W. again called to see the governor, and grasp- ing his hand said " I have called, sir, to thank you for the good advice you gave, and tell yoa that my wife and I are as happy as when first we were married. I can not be grateful enough for your good counsel." 'â-  1 am glad to hear it, Mr. W.," replied the governor, "and hope you will continue to court your wife as long as you live." The result was that Squire W. anl his wife lived happily together to the end of their life. Let those who are thinking of separation in these days go and do likewise. â€"Sel "Yes," said the Colonel, "I was on a jury in California once. It was a murder trial. I didn't want the fellow hung, and so stuck out against the other eleven for nine days, locked np in the jury room, when th-y gave in, and we brought in a verdict of ' Not gculty.' And th n I was the maddest man in the State." " Why, what were you mad about Colonel " " 'Cause the mob had huDg the prisoner the first day we were lock* ed up t" Milk and Infections Diseases. â-²n outbreak of typhoid fever in St. Pan- craSi LcMidoD, has been traced to the milk supply directly, and indirectly to a sycamore tree. During August there were 223 cases of the epidemic' within a limited area. The sanitary officer condactiuK an investigation beg^an by making a map of the district show- ing tbe distribution of houa* where there faikd been sicknesf He was able at once to discard two theories of infection, namely, the condition of the Regent's C jdU and contaminated water from the mains, and speedily to find an adequate canse in the milk supply. Out of 431 persona attacked daring the summer, 368 were known to obtain milk from one dealer and the remain- ing 63 might have done so indirectly. Houses supj^ied by other dealers escaped and in families which depended upon the fatal milk-cart, those who drank milk were attacked, wliile those who prefeired beer did not have' the fever. The dealer obtained milk from five farms, but the houses in St. Pancras in which the fever had occurred had been supplied mainly from the sa-ne farm. This was in St. Albans and as direct evidence that this was the source of infection, the sanitary ofi^er as- certained that certain porters in the dealer's employ were attacked after drinking the milk, that there were additional cases on the farm itself, and that houses in St. Albans supplied with the same milk were also in- fected. The investigation having been nar- rowed down to a single farm, the water sup- ply naturaUy fell under suspicion. The milk cans and pails were foua 1 to ba wash- ed every day in a dairy wita water obtained from a well adjoining a cesspool. A syca- more tree stood between taem, and its roots probably gave opportunity for the percola- tion of leakage from one intj the other. This was the most satisfactory explanation which the sanitary inspector could give of the outbreak of the fever. It is by no means certain, however, that the milk was not infected by the prevalence of the diseane at the farm. A dairyman in Dundee, for example, who kept his supply of milk in a room -where his little boy lay prostrated with scarlet fever introduced the disease in various households, until there were seventeen cases and four deaths. In- stances are constantly arising where infec- tious disease is directly communicated by means of milk that has been directly expos- ed to contamination in dairies or farm-houses. It is possible, therefore, that the sycamore tree had less to do with the spread of con- tagion than the inspector supposed. The relative situation of the cesspool and the well, however, naturally suggested the final step in his series of ingenious deductions. â€" Trihunc. The advance agent warns people of com- ing theatiical attractions in seaon for them to leave the town. A Chinese restaurant has been opened in Paris in which patrons may be served with such Oritntal delicacies as bird's-nest soup, smoked sharks' fin, dried cuttle-fish, salted rat, and eggs that have been purposely kept till they have becoine opaque and unsuitable for hatching purposes. It is said that the last-named dish rf quires that the eggs shall be covered with a mixture of c^nlers, chalk, lye, soda, powdered licorice root, and oil, and left by themselves for several months. The edible bird's-nests are built by a species of swallow. They are boiled in chickm broth or in milk of almonds. The experi- ment of the Chinese restaurateur is ia its begiuning as yet. How to Cook an oM Hen. Prof. W. Mattieu Williams gives as ia Knowledge his practic il experience with elderly poultiy, as lo lows I may mention an txperiuient that I have made lately. I killed a euperannuated hen more than six years uld, but otherwise ia vto-y good condition. Cjoked in the ordin- ary way she wnuld have been aneatably tough. Instead of tteing thus cooked, shie was gently stewed about four hours. I can- not guarantee to the maintenance of tbe theoretical temperature, having suspicion of some simmering. After this she was left ia the water until it cooled, and on the follow- ing day was loasted in the usual manner, i. e.. in a roasting oven. The result was excellent as tenaer as a full grown cbickea roasted in the ordinary way, and of quite equal flavor, in spite of the very good broth obtained by the preliminary stewing. This surprised me. I anticipated the softening of the tendons and ligaments, but supposed that the extraction of the juices would have spoiled the flivor. It must have diluted it, and that so much remained was probably due to the fact that an old fowl is more fully flavored than a young chicken. Tbe usual farm house method of cooking old hens is to stew them simply ;r tbe rule in the Midlands being one hour in thejot for every year of age. Tha feature of the above ex- periment was tho supptlhngn't^ry roasting. As the laying seasoa is now coming to an end, old heus will soon Jbe a drug in the mar- ket, and those amang my readers who have not a hen roost of their 04vn will oblige their poulterers by ordering a hen tkat is war- ranted to be. tour years old and upward. If he deals fairly, he will supply a|pecimeB upon which they tnay repeat my experiment, very cheaply. It offers the double economy of utilizing a,nearly waste produce and ob- taining chicken broth and roast fowl simul- taneously. One of the great atj^vantages of stewing is that it affords a meafis ot obtaining a savory and very wholesome dish at a minimum of cost. A small piece of meat may be stewed with a large quantity of veget- ables, the juice of the meat Favoring tbe whole. Besides this, it costs far less fael than roasting. The wife of the French or Swiss landed proprietor, i. e., tbe peasant, cooks the family dinner with less than a tenth of tbe expenditure of fuel used in England for the preparation of an inferior meal. A little charcoal under her Itainmarie does it all. The economy of time corresponds t'o the economy of luel, for the mixture of viands required for the stew once put in, ttie pot is left to itself until dinner time, or at most an occasional stirring of fresh charcoal into the embers is all that ia demanded, Birds' Eyes. Toe eye of the bird is quite uifTerent from that of the mammals O ving to tho manner in which birds procure their food the eye must be capable of acting as a telescope or microscope at will. This is especially neces- sary in swift llyiiig birds, wh^:re the change has to be made with great rapidity. The eye is surrounded externally with a circle of tla,t, bony plates, which can compress ic at will or suffer it to expand when tlie pressure is taken off and there is also insile the eye a curious organ, called the "p.^cten," or comb, which aids mechanicilly io j^roducing the requisite chaiige of form. Wnen next a chicken, or duck, or pheasant is to be cook- ed, ask for the head, and, with the aid of a pen knife and a pair of scisscn, these struc- tures can easily be shown.
