IITUTE Mr.Marchand naid very truly the other day in the Legislature that the a^ri cultural progress in this province during the last few years had been due to the farmers themselves quite as much as to any paternal assistii.ce of governments, Conservative or Liberal.Unquestionably there has been awakened in this province a very considerable amount of enlightened ambition with regard to the improvement of farming methods, and in a large measure this lias been due to the farmers themselves meeting together, in cercle* agricoles and farmers’ institutes, for the purpose of discussing the questions that interest them.These clubs have in many cases done good work and should not be allowed to die out.There are questions of perpetual interest to the farmer and there are questions of temporary but important interest, which afford continual material for intelligent discussion.In the occasional bulletins of the Central Experimental Farm, for instance, will be found matter for the exchange of experiences that cannot fail to be interesting and useful at the same time.The recent bulletin by Prof.Fletcher on “Weeds” that we noticed some weeks ago, might be made the subject of fruitful discussion at more than one meeting.The “pests” th.o i ifect the Eastern Townships are there fully dealt with and means for their extermination are proposed.Unquestionably that can he accomplished more effectively by united than by solitary action, and the farmers’institutes afford a means of obtaining this united action.We have an impression, however, that the institutes are now much less active and alive than they were three ye*rs ago.This is to be regretted, and we hope that an effort will be made to resuscitate them.A good thing is worth preserving.rantly handled are as dangerous as the scheduled poisons.In England, France, Belgium, Germany and in most of the l nited States, legislation keeps moving in the direction of keeping the sale of drugs more and more in the

preferen till proposals and those which Mr.Cham-horiain suggested to the colonial Premiers it is now plain rlut Sir Charles Tupper was misleading the Canadian public when he claimed that his views found sympathy in the highest quarters of the mother country.Sir Charles Tupper’s idea was that the* colonies could make their tariffs agiinsfc the mother country as high as they pleased so long as they made them still higher against foreign countries and in return for that he wanted Great Britain to put a ten per cent tax on food stuffs from all countries except the colonies.Mr.Chamberlain’s idea was that the colonies sh mid offer absolute free trade to the mother country in return for the tax on food stuffs against foreign countries.The first proposal was out ot the question for Great Britain ; the second was impossible for the colonies.The only practicible and possible step was that so boldly and confidently taken by the Laurier government, which has pleased Canada, pleased the mother country and accomplished in a short time that which has been needed for so long, namely, the removal of the great stumbling block to Imperial trade arrangements, the denunciation of the German and Belgian treaties.In the proof of these facts,it is amusing to recall that when the Laurier Government’s preferential policy was announced, Conservatives on every hand claimed that it was simply a “steal” of Sir Charles Tapper’s policy.They either did not see, or would not see, the ditfer-ence between chalk and cheese.PROTESTANT HOSPITAL.The interest that has been manifested in the proposed change of name of the Sherbrooke Protestant Hospital has brought into view the fact that the institution has many warm friends in the Eastern Townships.While the bulk of opinion appears to be against any change of name, it is unmistakable that there is a deep interest taken in the success and prosperity of the hospital.Wehopethat a hearty response to the call for subscriptions for maintenance will be birth-coming, and make this interest all the more manifest.As we pointed out a month ago, there is an immediate need of funds for current expenses.The hospital was opened, in the first instance, free of debt, but the question of maintenance was left largely to the generosity of the Protestant churches and societies of the townships.Let the response be hearty this Christinas season.The Sherbrooke Protestant Hospital is a noble institution and deserves generous support.The Christmas number of the Canadian Magazine is a very creditable one to that publication, both from the literary and artistic point of view.Mr.Gold win Smith contributes a quiet but effective reply to the Bacon-S-iakespeare article that was admitted to the magazine some months ago.Among the other contributors to this number are Gilbert Parker, Dr.Bourinot, Louis Frechette, George R.Parkin and Geo J.Low.The Canadian Magazine should have a future before it, if the niinagcment do not make the mistake of thinking that a steady supply of good material can be obtained without The funeral of the late Dr.A.W.Hyndman took place from his late residence, on Montreal street, to the Elu -wood cemetery this afternoon at half-past two.A short service was held in the house after which the remains were removed to the church where another service was held.The pulpit was draped in black and within the altar railing were potted palms, and other plants.Rev Dr.Williams said:—A heavy shadow has fallen upon this community.One who was justly esteemed by all classes has been laid low by the unsparing hand of death and the people mourn.Though suffering from illness for some months past Dr.Ilyndin m fought bravely for life, urged on by the love he boie to his family for whom he w ished to live and labor.But though he sought a milder clime in the hope of a restoration to health it proved only a brief reprieve to him, and on the 8th of this month he closed a brief but active and useful life.From his boyhood he possessed the affection and esteem of all who enjoyed the pleasure of familiar intercourse with him.By studious habits and unflagging energy he ac piirod such a thorough knowledge of his professi »n t hat the first rank was cheer-tully accorded him by his professional brethren.But his interest in his pro-fts-ional work did not form a limit to his desire for the welfaie of his fellows.As a citizen he was intelligen'ly solicitous for the well-being of the community in which In* lived.Whatever tended to augment the good of the citizen secured his active sympathy and hearty suppôt t.Though a keen thinker capible of executing exhausting analysis of p ditical and moral questions, yet he was no dreamy idealist merely, but a sharp, practical man with whom theories were only valuable as they were capable of being realized in actual life, and in so far as these realizations beneficially atfec ed his fellows.This quality found its recognition among his fellow citizens and was expressed in his election to serve in the City Council and in its various committees.In the performance of all civic duties entrusted to him he exhibited a scrupulous care equaling that bestowed upon his private interests.* rnong no citizens is the memory of Dr.Hyndman held in higher es'eeni than among the gentlemen with whom he sat in the City Council Chamber.His integrity, his transparency and his quiet fearlessness won the admiration and confidence of his confrens.In the social circle he was greatly beloved, kind ami cheerful, always ready to do all in his power for any one in trouble, ever glad to extend a helpful hand to such as he could lift out of trouble, he won the love of all privileged to enjoy his friendship.Of Dr.llyndinan in his family I shall not utter many words.As a husband and as a father he was in every way worthy of the richest and purest affection which these sacred relationships can inspire.During the suffering which he has been called to tndure for nearly two years preceding his decease, his only desire to live arose out of his love for his family and his sorrow at the thought of dying was only because of the grief it would bring to those he loved To his own family and to his relatives he leaves the heritage of a blessed memory.Their thoughts of him will always be pleasant thoughts.Lastly I speak of him as a Christian and of his membership in Christ’s Church.His purse was always open to every appeal.To every enterprise of the Church he was not only a liberal but a cheerful giver, giving neither grudgingly nor of necessity, but from loyalty to his master Christ Jesus.1 have known of many appeals which were presented to him, but 1 nave never known a refusal to respond as a generous and conscientious Christian.When health permitted his seat in the House of Gcd was always filled, and in every way he manifested the intelligent interest he had in all church work .Of his personal and private Christian life 1 need not speak in this community, inasmuch as the unvarying faithfulness of his external life with the goodness which shone through his conduct tells more forcibly than words of the communion he had with God.“By their fruits ye shall know them” is still the supreme test of a godly life, and judged by his Master’s words the servant will, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, find final acceptance with God.1 need not speak of the loss sustained by his family, society and city, nor the church, by the death of one so valued, w hose life was yet in its full zenith splendor.He is missed, and for years to come the memory of his life among us will linger as perfume of a flower in its fullest fragrance.\N hi le we to-day lay in the silent grave the all that is mortal of our beloved brother, let us comfort our hearts with the gospel inspired thought that after all, death has been robbed of its sting, and the grave of its victory.The spirit of our brother has put off its corruptible and assumed its incorruption : this mortal has put on its immortality, and death is now swallowed up in victory.The spirit now joins in the song of immortal triumph w ith those around the throne who sing “the song of Moses, the servant
