The latest thing in American railroad enterprise is the "bridegroom tickets" of the Canadian Pacific. The north-west is full of young men who have gone to take up land ; but young women are scarce, and the cost of going back to the old provinces, getting married, and bringing back a wife, keeps many of them single, and retards the growth of population. So the C.P.R.R. is holding out an encouragement to matrimony by granting return tickets to young men, good for six months. If they come back with bride, accompanied with marriage certificates, the bride's fare is refunded. But the bride must be this season's crop ; and the railway officials are supposed to be able to tell a nice fresh bride at eight from an old one of last year. Dr. Schleiman's dipcoveries of ancient sites and buried treasures will enthuse all lovers of classic history, and form a valuable accession to the achievements of patient search and zealous inquiry. They fix and locate > events, it Is true, and verify or c'ohtradict tho teachings of centuries. But really they are not as important as' some of the developments of medical science, nor will they revolutionise the world of original ideas, as did the discovery of Udolpho Wolf Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, Wells' Hair Balsam.— If grey, restores to original colour.
