“LEE - and showing how the mighty Scotchman towered above the | petty frailties which vexed him in the flesh. Professor David Masson, of Edinburgh, who knew Carlyle for thirty-seven years, has done this in two brief lectures which have been published under the title “Carlyle Person- ally and his Writings.” (Macmillan’s). | It will soon dawn upon thinking people that aman who lived for eighty-five years, and “ died in peaceful dignity and amid universal honor,” could not have been mean, small and unworthy of it all.

The prospectus states that “the com- pany has obtained permission to lay an eighteen-inch main within the tunnel of the aqueduct,” and “that the buildings erected for the protection of the machinery and engines at the mouth of each shaft, during the cutting of the tunnel, | will, after its completion, be carefully fitted up with con- -| densing apparatus, and used as receiving stations for the fluid.” Ata given time each day all the surplus fluid remaining in the pipes will be pumped into receivers, condensed and canned, water from the aqueduct being allowed to flow through the main immediately thereafter, keeping it perfectly fresh and clean.” It is claimed that the saving in the cost of transportation will reduce the price of milk to consumers at least one cent per quart. (We are quite sure that the cleansing of the pipes with water from the aqueduct will not very greatly affect its taste, and should there be an accidental leak, we do not think the public would be much worse off than it is at present. We see no reason why (the two fluids being so very similar) the plan should not work well, and we wish the Laqueduct Company all success,—ED.] Morton M. Gilliss, THE NEW SCOTT-LAND—Canada.
