Is—wall, wo will know him by a fictitious one—Harry Thomaa, for he ia at proeeul in the ¦enith of the theatrical world, and thousands W'ould reergnite him If hi» name was given in these columns.His story ran thus: “As yon are aware, Jack, I left college when I was within a little of 18.Well.I had always a great desire to emulate those sterling heroes of old, whose prowess I had studied ao much about.“And there being no other opening in which to test my abilities I determined at once to adopt the stage and make it the field of my mimic conquests, little dreaming of the difficult task which I had voluntarily imposed upon myself.“How few of the outside world know of the incessant toil of an actor’s life! “He is nothing but a schoolboy.F dr as soon aa one piece 1» committed to memory another ia placed in hi» hands, and so on—a life of perpetual study and labor.“After some trouble I obtained the unenviable position of ‘aupe’ in one of our principal theaters.And after spending two year» in thia branch was pro moted to phiy ‘utility business.’ “And here I remained three years more, linteiiing to the plots and schemes of the villains and heroes in different d ramus.“I assure you that by this time my ardor had cooled considerably, and many a time while poring over my part in some new piece I have sincere ly wished that I had chosen some other means of earning a living.“The manager saw that I possessed more than ordinary talent, so he in trusted me with a part in which I played second to the hero of the piece.“I carried myself through vi ry creditably, and the journals the next morning in their criticisms said: “ ‘Mr.Thomas is a young and very promising actor; good in gesture and correct in delivery.’ “Well, at this time a young lady—a star in bar line—wo will know her as Louisa Dietz—was engaged to piny the principal role in a drama which the manager intended to open with and play during the Christmas holidays.“It inclined rather to the Thespian style in the opening, but ended up as usual, with virtue triumphant, and all the villains either shot or aent to state prison for life.“The piece required a great deal of study.In short, we had rehearsal every day for nearly a month, and during that time I fell desperately in love with Louisa Dietz, the heroine of the play.“It was love at first sight, but whether my passion found an answering thrill in her bosom I could not tell.“bometimea, when alone, I would call myself a fool, a madman; for how could I for a moment expect an alliance between myself—a newly pledged knight of the dramatic art, and Louisa Dietn, whose name waa sufficient to cram any theater with the wealth and beauty of tb« land.“The actor who was to play the hero of the drama waa a tall, fine, dark looking man, and it nearly set me crazy to see him (when the business of the piece required it) clacp her to hi» breast.In my fevered imagination, I thought that he used more earnestness than the nature of the occasion required.Well, al Inal the final rehearsal but one waa over, and the following Monday night (which waa Christinas) the drama waa to be presented to the publie.Monday dawned fair and bright, the air was cool and criap.The last rehearaal had been called for this morning at 11 e’clock.Upon reaching the theater what wae my surprise to find every one, from the manager down to the call boy, running about the stage and talking in the moat excited manner.“Upon inquiry I found that the person who was going to play the leading character in the piece had the night before fallen upon the icy pavement and so injured his ankle that it rendered it impossible for him to appear.“The manager upon hearing it had dispatched bis messengers to all the theatrical agencies in the city to, if possible, obtain a person to play the part.“But without success, for thoee who were competent would not risk their reputation in performing a piece upon euch abort notice, and thoee that were rtUlng were net fit to soocessfally rea Ur the lowest part in the whole drama “Thia was the state of affairs when I Eke jams upon the stag* “The manager waa In a perfect frenay.and Louisa Diets sat near one jt the fiats, silent and pals as marble “This waa her Aral appearance at thia theater, and to have an accident occur like this was enough to stupefy gny one under similar circumstances.“1 pitied her from the bottom of my heart.“I was standing at the prompter’s stand, when suddenly a wild thought shot through my train.“Wrby couldn’t I play the part?For, having such a number of reh^arsals, I wan ah perfect in his part as I waa in my own.“No Hooner had the idea entered my mind than I acted upon it, and going up to the manager I aaid: “ ‘I know this part, and I have no doubt if you will intrust it to my care I can go through with it satisfactorily.’ “He grasped me warmly by the hand and said: “ ‘Thanks, thanks, Mr.Thomaa I have every faith in your ability.* “But I cared more for the grateful look in Louisa's eyes as she walked by my side and wild: “ ‘I, too, will ever owe yon a service, which will be impossible to repay.’ “So it was decided that I should assuma the principal role, while a person, after some trouble, waa obtained who could, no doubt, by gagging and being followed cloaely, put tbrough my part.Well, at last the evening arrived and with immense crowd» that flocked from all quarters.“At a quarter before 8 the manager stepped before the curtain and narrated the accident to the audience, and then begged their kind indulgence in my behalf, who at the last moment, rather than have them disappointed, had volunteered to play the part.“I, all this time, had been looking through a small hole bored in the pros* «senium.“The house was packed from parquet to dome with as refined an audience aa ever I have had the pleasure to play to.“At 8 o’clock precisely the curtain was rung up and the play commenced.“Neither Louisa nor I appeared until the second sc en a “I was standing in breathless anxiety, leaning against one of the flats, upon the prompt aide, while aht stood slight* ly flushed, but perfectly collected, upon the ‘O.P.* side.“I had perfect confidence in rayaelf, but every actor, no matter how perfect he may be, will feel an indescribable sensation of—yon hardly aay what— when ho is about to stake his reputation in a new role before the public.“Well, at laat the first scene was called in.“And amid a deathlike silence the ¦tar of the evening walked on.“Instantly a storm of applause greeted her, and echoed and re-echoed around and among the scenery like the rumbling of distant thunder.“The scene represented a garden in which she was soliloquizing as to whether her lover (me) was true to her, or whether he waa playing her false.“At last I received my cue, and went on “My entrance waa again the signal for deafening applause, which was c< n-tinned for nearly five minutes, and it i gave me time to fully think over what | I was about to say.“Finally all waa once more quiet, and I commenced my delivery.“It abounded in protestations of my ! undying fidelity and love for lier.“As 1 continued I warmed up with j the subject.I was n 1 < arried away by the intensity of n.oelings.“I forgot that hundreds of eyes were critically watching every gesture and that attentive ears were devouring the words as they fell from my lipe.“I saw only before me the woman l loved.And the passion which I was outpouring to her cars was not the love of the hero of the play, but simply the love of Harry Thomas for Louisa Dietz.“When I had finished, the curtain descended amid showers of bouquets and deafening applause.“The latter was continued until we both appeared before the curtaiu.“I need not dwell upon the remainder of the performance.IjoI it suffice to aay that we both received a perfect ovation.“And that night, when the curtaiu had descended for the last time, the manager came hurrying in to where I was in the greenroom, and seizing me by the hand he said, his voice trembling with emotion: “‘You have saved the reputation of my house.’ “And thereupon he drew up papers of agreement trebling my salary and engaging me to play leading business.“I need hardly add that my fame was at once established, and a short time afterward Louis* and I were married.” And now the names of Mr.and Mrs.Thomas displayed upon the billboards of any theater are sufficient to cause tht manager (long before the hour of commencing) to put out the sign of “Standing room only.”—Minneapolis Tribune.TICK SEA CHARTS.Wondorfol Mavigattag Vaate of Wa-tlvoa of tho Marshall lalaada.THK TURKS AND HYGIENE.Thia is the way tic ns of hygiene.the Turks treat qu*e-The French statistical The German protectorate of the Marshall department, anxious to obtain detimte lu island!*, which lie ju*tea*tof the Carolines in the equatorial Pac ific, SMMstaS ths most daring-sailors known.They are constantly performing feata In navigation that Luropoan sailors feared to ventura on long aft«*r they had ths compass, which lubtruiucnt, by the way, the Marshall Islanders reject as useless.The archipelago lies In two widely separated groups, the Radack and the Halick chains, and in each chain ths islands lie for the most part at extensive Intervals.Yet the native pilots conduct voyages all over their own archipelago and to the Carolines In one direction and the Gilberts in another.For this voyaging they rely upon charts of their own construction, the know ledge having been hand» d down from remote antiquity.These charts are generally about a yard square and are eon striu ted of slender sticks tied together.At some inter.-oetions of the sticks are fasten ed small shells, which stiwid for ths different inlands.T he pilot posts himself lu ths Lmjw of the vessel with his chart before him He begins by establishing the particular shell corresponding to the inland from which he in just nailing.He sets the course ns indicated by one of the sticks radiating from that shell in the proper dirertion.Thereafter he watches the tourne in the sea with very slight use of the heavenly bodies for the determination of direction.They make no segret of their art.They are often at great pains to teach it to whit# men and wonder that no on# has yet been found capable of grasping it.Their explanation is that each stick on a chart shows the course of a stream in the sea, and that by following the streams they can find their way to their destination.They claim to see these streams with their intersections just as shown by ths sticks.Whatever may b# ths explanation, it is certain that they navigate hundreds of miles of empty ocean with neither compass nor chronometer nor other instruments save a chart of sticks.If by any accident they go astray they maks no attempt to continue the voyage, but run at once down to leeward until they make a familiar landfall, often as far to the west as the Carolines.—New York Sun.MIRAGE l-N MANITOBA.Purest and Best for Table and Dairy No adulteration.Never cake*.Train H««n Twice Fifteen Minutes Before It Waa Dae.Arrived at Shanawan, my companion kindly offered to stay with me till the train came, hut I sent him off and took my stand on the track with nothing more substantial than a telegraph pole to shelter me from the icy blast.When I was left alone—sky overcast, curious kind of mist In the air, the wind howling around me and the loose snow that the wind raised from the prairie driving past me in sheets —I thought it about as desolate a picture as I have ever «it eyes on.As luck would have it, the train was late, and I had 50 minutes in which to enjoy myself alone.I was never so abjectly cold as when that train eventually came.1 was rewarded by ¦oeing a curious atmospheric phenomenon that.I used to read of us tantalizing weary travelers in the Sahara, and that, I am told, is common here under certain conditions—viz, the mirage.At least 15 minutes before the train arrived I saw it sud denly leap into sight in a way that made me pick up my bag and hop off the track in double quick time.Then 1 waved my handkerchief for it to stop, and suddenly I noticed that it had stopped about 50 yards off.I began to charge up the track so as to get on board, when it mysterious ly and suddenly disappeared.A few minutes later l saw it again, only this time off the track and running along the prairie.It gave me quite an eerie feeling, and 1 began to think thecold had got into my head, and I cast superstitious glances round me to see if there were any more trains frolicking about in the snow, and suddenly I bethought me of what I had heard about the mirage.When I saw distinctly that the train had stopped, it must have been at Lasam, nearest station, about nine orten miles up the line.—London News.lee Cream In Jnitan.“I met a charming young Japanese woman the other day, -ays a woman contributor.“She was wiling ice cream, and by way of conversation I asked her if they have ice cream in J a pan.“Oh, yes,” said she, “but not so much as in America, nor is it as good as American ice cream.There is no other country in the world where they have such delicious ice cream and ices as in America.” “And what do you call icecream in Japan?” I asked.“We have adopted tho American name,” she answered.“We call it ice cream.We have lemonade, too, and we call it”— “Lemon squash; wo call it lemon squash,” said an English woman who sat near.“No,” laughed the dainty lady from Japan, “we call it lemonade, and even if you don’t know a word of Japanese you needn’t suffer for lack of your national dainties when you go to Japan, for ‘ice cream’ and ‘lemonade’ are words everybody understands.”—Washington Star.formation on certain matters from the Turkish provinces, made arrangements for sei ding a list of

restoring health and vigor, and bringing a rosy glow to pale and sallow cheeks.There is no other medicine “just as good.” See that the full name, Dr.Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, is on every pack age you buy.If your dealer does not have them, they will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for #2 50, by addressing the Dr.Williams' Medicine Co., Brock ville, Ont., or Schenectady, New York.“Mother,” paid Miss Dollie Newrich “can’t father afford a seat in Parliament?“A seat !” echoed the good lady, scorn fully.“My dear, your father is ric en ugh to have w wlu.lc sofa if he deoire» it.” ALL NERVES.Many people say they are “all nerves, ea^il) startled or upset, easily wo* lieu and i rifcated.Mill urn s II* art and Nerv Pills are just the remedy such people re âu re.They restore perfect harmony of llo n< rve centres and give new nerv for -e to shattered nervous systems.2w A Good Scheme.—He : “MissBeatrice 1 *ve you more th -n I can find words to tell.” Miss Beatrice.“Why don't you buy a dictionary ?” A kid-na*'pi ig case—a cradle.A good d >g for a surgeon — A setter.HEALTH RUN DOWN “I was run down in health and weak and could not get anything to do me good until I tr ed Burdock Blood Bitters which haa made me strong and well.’’ Thoh Lawson, Terra Nova, Ont.2w5 Einard’s Liriment ?xr9s Burrs, îtc.Kinard’s L it mont Cures Dandruff dm cunts £ rr.moBA MAN.Mr Alexander Fraser, Miami, Man., writes : “I car.not nfrain from rtcom-mendmg Doan’s Kidney Pills to any per-aoii troubled with with kidney disorder, for I believe if they could cure me they oouM cure any case.” 2w7.“Pa” asked a little boy, “didn’t you •ay in year speech that you expected the ni «P of the world to be changed soon Δ “1 think I did said the orator.‘-Then what is the use of my studying geog- tspky r SHERBR()OKK M A RK E PS.There was a very good attendance at the market on Saturday, and there was plentiful supply of provisions with the exception of butter, which was a little scarce.The following quotations were ruling at Johnston & Fo*h, Hovey Bros, and Bray Bros.Creamery, prints Butter, per tub, good Lard per lb., pure Cheese, per lb., dairy Cheese (good old) Cheese, per lb., factory Maple Sugar Maple syrup per gal.Bees Honey, per lb.,boxes Honey, in large lioxes Eggs per doz., fresh Eggs (limed) Apples, per bbl Beef, per quarter Beef, cut Beef, corned M utton Pork, in carcase Pork, per lb., fresh Pork, salt, per lb Spring Lamb, per quarter Ham Bacon Chickens, per lb Lettuce, doz.heads Fowls Beef Hides Fresh Haddock Fresh CihI per lb Fresh Salmon Halibut Steak Salt Salmon Lake trout White Fish Lobsters \nt>les, per bushel Cabbage, each Pot a toe , per bushel, ne Celery, doz.bunches Carrots, per bushel Beets, per bushel Turnios, pe 1 • 1 Onions, per .s > Turkeys, per lb.Produce ruled Highest Manitolia Paten P bbl Second Manitoba Patent B* st Ontari ) IVent Second Ontario Patent Straight Roller Best Strong Bakers Good Strong Bakers Oatmeal, P bbl.m*»d., wholesale Oatmeal, Rolled P bbl.Oatmeal, Granulated Middlings, P 100 lbs Buckwheat Flour, P 100 lbs Gia’.iain Flour Cracked Wheat Shorts, per BN) lbs Wheat Bran per 100 ibs Provender Yellowf&feal (coarse) Yell n Meal (fi-e) Oats ¥ bush (32 lbs) Barley, ¥ bushel Peas, P bushel, good Beans, ¥ bushel Buckwheat Corn, per bushel SHEEP IN AUSTRALIA.Bow Wool Production la Conducted on • Bis Scale.The shearing season in the wool countries of Australia, says a writer in the London Sketch, is the most important ami the busiest of any which occur in sheep rearing.The swagmau has an opportunity which he does not like and usually disregards, and the English ca-det lias no reasonable excuse to remain idle.The opening of the sheds is not simultaneous, for as the hot weather comes down from the equator, those ru:: i away hack—where it is too hot to curse and one never sees the kangaroo— sfart cutting out some weeks before sli' i p walks in less temperature but oix,!er regions.The shearers and the musterers travel in their own mobs, and i>: many cases work the same circuit.hearing in Australia is earlier than in >;

the lower and a section of the second storey.Shortly after this was entend the status of the school was raised from that of Common to Model School.As long as it remained at the former the Department of Education made no complaint, but when the change took place the trouble began, and continued until it reacliu « * height last year when the Boird of Commis-ioners were informed that unless better and more suitable accommodation was provided the grant would be discontinued.The Educational Department maintained that the school was not at ail what a model school ought to be in the matter of accommodation.It must not be supposed that the Commissioners were not endeavouring to find a way out of the difficulty.Many projects were brought forward, but the way and means were not forthcoming, and they were placed in a rather serious position Ultimately the scheme under which they now occupy the building was brought forward.It was felt by the citizens tbat the municipal buildings would stand as a white elephant on their hands, if the school moved out,and as they belonged to them they thought that the best possible solution of the difficulty would be for their representatives in the Council to deed over the building to the School Commissioners reserving the right of such rooms as were formerly used as offices.This was done, and the result is a large saving to tne rate payers and one of the finest equipped schools in the Province.The requirement of the department have been complied with, and it is expected that in a very few days the Lennoxvill*» Model School will be a name of the past and in the future will be known as the Lennox ville Academy.The building has been entirely renovated inside, and the external surroundings finished in such a manner that it leads very considerably to the amenity of the village.The school rooms have been enlarged, mad > brighter and the flooring, plastering, Arc., entirely new A new hardwood stairway from the ground floor to the second floor has been put in, and at the top of this are double do -rs which divide the room from the other portion of the building.A new door at the East side of the building has been put in so that the municipal offices and the hall can be entered without going through the school quarters.The old fashioned and antiquated doors and windows have been replaced on the ground floor by large arch windows.The old method of heating the building by stove has been discontinued and it is now heated throughout by hot water pipes, which along with the furnace w a put in by Mes-rs.Oodere & Son, Sherbro ke.Mr.Wood, Lennoxville, had the work of renovation, and is to be c< mplimented on the way in wh ch he has accomplished his contract.Mr.Clift of Sherbrooke was architect.The teachers in the school are :—Mr.Donnolly, principal, MissParsW, assistant, Miss Millford, intermediate, and Miss Young, primary department The commissioners are : Rev.Dr.Scarth (chairman,) Messrs William Hall, J.Johnstone, Chas.White, Thomas Dun din and Wm.B ik j»\ secretary treasurer.The proceedings were opened by a chorus from the whole school, after which the Chairman said that they were met that day for the purpose of formally reopening the school.Before proceeding with any remarks about the school he wished to express his very deep regret at the absence of one who always took a very deep interest in, not only education generally, but who took a special interest in their village school here.He referred to Dr.Adams, principal of Bishop’s College, wh* m fh*\N d! knew was stricken by the ban f G d vita paralysis, and although he was making good progress towards recovery it would be several months before he will be able to return to his duties or be amongst them again.Dr.Adams was a man that could lie very ill spared from the community as his work was always towards the elevation of the people in the district in which he resided.He, was sorry that Dr.Allnatt, Dr.Adams representative, was unable to be present, but he wrote stating that he was so pressed with work that he did not think it would be possible for him to at tend.He extended his best wishes for a prosperous future.Dr.Harper, inspect or of schools was also unable to be present but sent them hearty congratulations and good wishes for the future.Proceeding the Chairman said that it was a good many years ago since the Coni missioners began to look forward to some thing better than the two schools which were situated at either end of the village That was twenty-five years ago and one of these schools had entirely disappeared while the oth »r h .d been conv r ed into a dwelling house.The model school had been conducted in this building for a number of years, but a strong pressure had been brought to bear on the Commissioners by the Council of Public Instruction that increased accommodation an 1 better surroundings be provided for the work of education.He thought that the renovated buildings would entirely meet the wants of the Educational Department, and he was sure that the pupils would appreciate the comfort and convenience which they now enjoyed He felt sure that the same success which had attended the efforts of the teachers and pupils in the past would be seen in the future.Several of those who had passed through this school had enter ed the University, and one of them had taken his degree of Arts with honours, which spoke well for the training which he had r ceived m this unpretentious village Hih Mil Two others had entered the College this fall and he was sure would do the school credit in their suhsa quent career.He hoped that their example would be followed by many others.Hu wished to congratulate the teachers, iiarticularly Mr.Doonally and Miss Pars-lew ou the success which attended the examinations for the A.A.examinations.Mr.Donnolly would till them that of those that went up only two failed to pass and the average marks was higher than that of any academy or model sch >ol in the Province.He thought that a very creditable showing.One of the candidates took 720 marks out of a possible of 1000 which wa.-' a very high standard,and that young man had that day given his rame for entry to the University, and he had no doubt when he came up for his finals that he would make as good a showing as in his A.A.(applause.) Mr.Donnelly, principal of the school was then called on by the Chairman.He began his remarks by referring to the methods of teaching in vogue in by gone ages and in speaking of the present system as compared with former times said that by degrees opinion was changed and then came the hap, y device of the public school system.The people rich and poor were taxed to support it.Modern and approved appliance were used.The school houses were no longer dens, but made large, convenient and commodious.L.to these school houses could come, and do come, on the same footing, the children of rich and poor.They are equ*l, make equal progress according to their merit, and in the school house as in the church there is no longer the spirit of caste.We have tried this system long enough in this country to adhere to it.The system has taken root so firmly that no conceivable conclusion of society can ever destroy it.It is part of the com munity and cannot be destroyed so long as the community shall survive.The building which we are opening today is to be a temple of learning.And here I wish to convey to the commisioners and taxpayers on behalf of teachers and pupils the heartfelt gratitude which we feel for the improvement they have made in this building.Thanks to the good sense and liberality of the taxpayers the school commissioners have been enabled at a considerable )Utlay to refit and to remodel this building.They have made it at least convenient and commodious fitted up for its purpose, constructed according to the principles of sanitary science and not entirely barren of ornament.But I fancy I hear some one saying, ‘does the p isition this school hold as compared with other schools, warrant such an outlay and expense.’ To such a one I would say.Last year from the highest grade in the school, the A.A.class, sent up more successful candidates than any other academy, mode!, public or private school in the Eastern Townships.The number of our successful candidates was more than double any other model school in the Province.Some of our candidates were also an honor to the school, ar honor to the teacher, and an honor the community.In one subject alone—trigonometry— we sent up three candidate, and the first three in the Province were candidates from this school.These facta should speak for themselves, and show that we, as a school, are deserving of th s expense.It is, however, our duty here as teachers, pupils and parents, to keep our school up to this high standard which we have attained.U is for teachers to teach as thoroughly and as patiently as heretofore.It is for pupils to strive by every means in their power, to work untiringly and as patiently in their thirst after knowledge.It is for parents, aye, yes, they too have their work to do.It is, 1 say, for parents to talk with teachers, to consult with them concerning the welfare and progress of their children.To see that they do at home the work that is allotted to them, and als |'ast, lu |by no*mean* the least to see that they are regular in their attendance.D.d parents but know hew much hinderance to a pupils progress one daysg absence from school was he was sure they would think twice before they allowed children to absent themselves from school, and they, as teachers, would not have to complain about irrregular attendance.With all these doing their duty, teachers, pupils and parents, he had no reason to doubt but that they would continue to hold their exalted position in the lis*', of superior schools.Lot them hops that from this school door for many years to come there will go forth the future men and women, the glory and hope of this country.It may possibly never boast of great statesmen, great warriors, great poets or great artists who have been its pupils, but from its doors will go forth yearly, prepared for the duties of life, hundreds who obtain the higher p initions of useful men and women, good and upright citizens, the essential constituents of a well ordered country.(Applause).Dr.Thomas, Lennoxville, on being cdled upon said it gave him very much pleasure to l>e present that day at the opening of the schools after being remod-delled.He urged upon the parents to assist the teachers in every possible way, and see that they were kept regular at school.Comifwioner William Hall was very glad to be prese »t that day.He trusted that the efforts of the commissioners would be appreciated by parents and pupils alike.He thought they had succeeded in meeting the wants of the Department of Education.(Applause ) The Chair nan, in calling upon Mr.Baker, the secretary-treas., paid him a high tribute for having locked after the alterations, as the whole of the work had been practically left to his supervision.(Applause.) Mr.Baker said that his department did not interest the children v *ry much just now, but in after years he had no doubt it would be of the greatest interest to them.He spoke of the difference now existing to that when he went to school.He complimented the com mssioners on the improved building and expressed the hope that it would maintain the high excellence which it now enjoyed and that it would go on increasing.(Applause ) The Chairman then addressed a tew e marks on the duties of the pup.Is, after which Rev.F.A.Read was introduced.The rev.gentleman said he was vtry much p’e s d to hear of the mecess wh i h had attended the school in the past, a id paid a compliment to the commissioners for the renovation.Mr.Wm.Hall proposed a vote of thanks to the teachers, and Mr.J.Johnston seconded.The Chairman then declared the building open.The singing of “God save the Queen” brought the proceedings to a c c fe.The singing ot the pupils in the various exercises was much enjoyed.NEWS FBOI THE CAPITAL.idpeciel correxpondeuce to the Examin'uk) Ottawa, September 21.—The Ottawa Citizen is looking for information.In last Friday’s is-ueit asks “Is our Northwest so unattractive to settlers that the Hon.Mr.Sifton can induce no more desirable immigrants than theGaliciins and Doukhob irtsi and other riffraff of Europe to colonize it cannot British colonists be induced to come out here, ” The records of the Immigration Department will answer that question fairly well.Up to M;iy 30th, there were 2304 English, Irish and Scotch immigrants registered in Winnipeg, for settlement in the West, this year nearly one thousand more German, French, Belgian and Scandinavian and over two thousand from the United States During the same period there werj only 2307 Galicians so that the proportion is two Britishers and Americans to one Galician It is worth while noting also that whereas 2304 Britishers came in under the Sifton administration during the first five months of this year, only 300 were registered during the same period of 1897 ami only 303 in 1896 while the figures from the United States during the sune period to compare with 2020 of this year 94 and 11 respectively.In other words th"re weie nearly seven times as niiiiy British and American settlers b.ought into Canada this spring than in the last *errn under Conservaiive Government management.Is the CUtzen answered.When the critics of the present imigra-tion policy are so anxious to enlighten the oublie, as they appear to he from the amount of space editorially and otherwise that they have devoted to the subject, it would appear to be only fair that they should occasionally quote the facts and leave the public to do their own thinking PUBLIC RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC SERVICES.Like an oasis in the political desert, is the action of the Board of Trade and National Club of the City of Toronto in recognizing the services of the Post Master General, and too much public approbation cannot be shown for such national recognition of national service rendered.The Board of Trade on Wednesday Est was largely attended by the leading business men of the Province, irrespective of politics, and the dinner the following night at the National Club was equally non-partisan.Bjth these non-political bodies have proved themselves worthy of their traditions by rising superior to politics.Their past history records many instances where they have honored themselves in honoring public men.S r John Macdonald, Hon.Alex.Mackenzie, Hon.Geo.Brown, Sir John Thompson, Sir Wilfred Laurier and many others have in the past enjoyed their hospitality,and received marked approbation at their hands and every recurring instance of a like nature must be of inestimable service to Canada by its recognition of the principle that the first duty of public men is to their country and not to their party.The extreme partisan need have no fear that occasions like these referred to will in jure his party cause if that cause also he first and foremost, the interests of the state.MR.DRYDES’S POSITION.According to Mnil \ i: f.\ Home Work for Families.| VL^E WANT the services of a nu:.bcrof laiuiîies*l vv to do work for us knitting Seamless V SIMPLE OPERATION.A PAIR IN 30 MINUTES.Seamless ft____Bicycle Stockings, FOR THE TRADE j Woodmen’s Socks, and s 2-J Motormen’s Mittens.- VyE FURNISH machine ami material under contra t to y vv Reliable Families Only.Yarn is very light, and by £ sending it out and having it returned by ;
