THE BRONZE' 'AGE. The Times is informed that the unique collec-a tion of implements of the Bronze Age formed by Canon W. Greenwell of Durham, will ere long find its way to the British Museum. The large sum to be paid for the collection has been provided by a well-known and wealthy amateur who has been a generous friend to many public institutions. The collection will, therefore, be practically a gift to the Museum.

THE MONASTIC LIFE,
The Bystander writing on monastic life, says:: The contemplative man would choose the Carthusian Order, the missioner or preacher the Franciscans or Dominicans, the bookworm the Benedictines, and the man inclined to scholastic work the Jesuite. Life in a monastery, to those endowed with the true spirit, is far from being monotonous, in spirit of its great regularity. After hearing Mass and having a very meagre breakfast, each man goes to his post, the clerice to study or to works of charity, the brothers to their moutal labour in kitchen, garden, and workshop. There is recreation twice a day Theu an old and learned father.will join în somewhat boisterous game with the lay brothers in the cloister or recreation room, for even monks are as frisky, in their leisure hours, as the layost among laymen,
A WORKING-MAN EYE SPECIALIST.
There has just died in the village of Overtown, near Wishaw, N.B., James Shaw, a working man who had an extetordinary reputation as an eye specialist. He was originally a colliery engineman, and workmen used to resort to him in large numbers. Indeed, many thousands of people were successfally treated by him, opera tions ranging from the removal of the simple "fire" in the workman's eyes to the healing of the most serious affection. On one occasion
man travelled all the way from New Zealand and had his eye pat right by Mr. Shaw, Up till his death he continued to despatch weekly large quantities of his special preparation, for which there were applications from all parts of the globe. When Mr. Shaw celebrated his golden aynur ago the pecasion was taken to wedding acknowledge his long services by presenting him with a public testimonial-

MR, CARNEGIE'S INVESTMENTS. An interesting story is published regarding Mr. Carnegio's philanthropic investments. When Mr. Carnegie decided to retire from active business, and sold out his interests to the Steel Trust, he received as part payment £30,000,000 Five Cent. First Mortgage Gold bonds. These bonds meant an annual income of £2,300,000, which enabled Mr. Carnegie to be philanthropic on a large scale, and yet not impair his principal. But Mr. Carnegie evolved spinn by which these bonds would be highly
carefully respected, and their value
conserved by others than himself. He used them in his benefaction instead of cash. When he founded tho Carnegie institution in Washington for the purpose of furthering scientific research, he
endowed it with £2,000,000 in these bonds, which yield an annual revenue to the institution of half a million dollars. He likewise planted a few millionis in the Carnegie: Hero Fund, and more went to the great library system of Now York.
