gift.A slave was commissioned to stand beside him and clap a napkin over his mouth if in some fine frenzy he sang top loud\u2014endangering so, his precious voice.He used to sing long monologues that lasted five or six hours, and the audience was forbidden on extreme penalties to leave the room or even to show that they wished they could leave it.We all know of amateurs who liko to get paid engagements, not because they need the money but because it stamps their actual artistic worth.New Emperor Nero was one of this class.It is said that to flatter him his senators used to engage him for soirees musicales in their palaces.Ho was once paid for singing a fee of something like $37,009\u2014a price that makes Patti\u2019s palmiest days look seedy enough.NERO A WAGE EARNER.That the Emperor

income, he kept a store, a cobbler\u2019s shop, took boarders, and accommodated travellers.From an old day book of his, lying before me, yellow with age and with ink now faded almost beyond the possibility of translation, I will select various entries to lay before the reader, that he may see how different in many respects business was then conducted, and in.what manner the settlers managed to acquire the competence they left their children.March 16th.1796, is a charge of 10 shillings and 9 pence for 1,400 nails\u2014 sold by count and made by the blacksmiths.These hand-wrought nails can

material for a new dress for Mrs.Brown and daughters, if he had any.Apl.4th, 1797, Winthrop Merrill is credited with \u201cOne day\u2019s work,\u201d shillings (40 cents).Hix Sails is charged with 60

this now, or would undertake to do it for only two dollars ?[ Aug.2Sth, the same man was credited with reaping one acre of wheat, I and took for his pay one bushel of j wheat.This was another smart ¦ man\u2019s day\u2019s work.Johnson \u201cTasiing\u201d had credit for [weaving 241 yards frocking.Pay w-as 110 shillings 1) pence.The yarn for this would be prepared and colored ! at home, then sent

for each bushel of wheat.Seba Beebe is charged to one martin skin, 2 shillings and 6 pence.Zerea Beebe worked three weeks for one pair of shoes, according to an entry of March 3rd, 1798.Dec.11th,

19th,\t1801.Ephraim Hop- ping is charged, \u201cGoing to Missisquoi River, hauling him and half bid.pork, 4 dollars.\u201d This was perhaps the Hopping located at \u201cHopping Falls,\u201d now known

16tb, 1800, Martha Putney is credited with weaving 36 yards of cloth, 15 shillings, and 10 yards for 4 shillings and 2 pence.These transcriptions will give a fair idea of the various transactions that constituted the daily avocations of our forefathers who settled what was then known as \u201cThe New Townships.\u201d Their aim at first was to get a comfortable log house, one that would be impervious to storm or cold; and the next, to clear enough land to grow a crop sufficient to feed the family through the succeeding winter.It may well be imagined that they had to be very industrious to do this, our seasons are so short.Where they could do as Captain Ruiter did, make his opening and erect his cabin the year before he moved his family, then much of the hurry would be avoided, though plenty remained to be done in the following years.\t_ EARLY MILITARY AFFAIRS.From \"Forests and Clearings\u201d T will copy a few lines that well explain tbe situation of military af fairs in

\u2014The ai rual inspection or the Protestant Academy at Thetford Mines took place this week by Mr.O.F.McCutcheon, Acting Inspector of Superior Schools, in place of Mr.John Parker.The report given was as follows: \u201cVisited Thetford Mines Academy today.Three departments were in operation, viz., Elementary, Model and Academy.The largest enrolment of pupils was in the Elementary Class.Here we found as good progress as could be expected considering the number of pupils and grades requiring the attention of the teacher.\u201cThe pupils in the Model Class are doing good work under the direction of a competent teacher.\u201cIt affords me much pleasure indeed to have had an opportunity of' visiting the Academy Department.Some work in Geometry, Algebra and Arithmetic was done in my presence and proved most satisfactory.It was clearly evident that the pupils had been well taught and had acquired an intelligent grasp of these subjects.Specimens of examination and home work also attested the thorough and painstaking manner in which the pupils do the work assigned.\u201cOf the eight Superior Schools which I have already visited this year, I do not hesitate to state, that the discipline and order of the Thetford Mines School surpasses all of them.The premises weijfr found in a cleanly condition and' the walls and furniture free from those disgraceful scribblings and marks which, I regret to say are by far too common.\u201cThe Principal and teachers are to be congratulated on the excellent condition of the School.\u201d The Inspector granted the pupils a holiday in consideration of their success at the examinations which is to be observed Friday the 12th.BOSTON AND MAINE AT LOW PRICES.REDUCTION OF DIVIDEND CAUSES A LOWER QUOTATION THAN LURING LAST 40 YEARS

illusionist, who lost his life in the fire in the Empire Music Hall at Edinburgh on Tuesday night, estimate that he left an estate valued at over $500,000.It is figured out that he was making about $200,-000 a year, But the expenses of his company of sixty to eighty persons were, very high, and he lived in a most luxuriant style.He maintained his London residence all the year round, and when playing in the provinces returned to town for Sunday.He entertained also on a very lavish scale.He was booked to appear at one of the music halls here about Christmas at a salary of $5,000 a week.No

naming of the Pullman sleeping, dining and parlor cars was explained to the members of the State Board of Tax Commissioners by'J.D.Ferguson, representing the Pullman Company.\u201cOne of the hy-questions always asked me whenever I lay myself open to questions concerning the business of the Pullman Company, is, \"Who names the cars ?\u201d It is popularly supposed that some one is employed by the year to name the cars.One report is that the employee is a woman and that she is paid $5,000 a year for the work.\u201cThe Pullman cars are named by the clerk who happens to be in charge of the naming department when a car is to be named.There is something of a system in naming them.I recall that all the cars of one line are named for flowers.Another is named for a line of the ancient Egyptian Kings.Other names are chosen haphazard.At any rate, no one is paici, $5,000 a year for naming them.If the company were paying that and got the kind of names it does, I would, to say the least, have my own idea about the returns on the outlay.\u201d \u2018Cascarets\u2019 Are Best For '\t' People A Ten Cent Box Keeps You Feeling Good for Months.\u2014No Headache, Indigestion, Foul Taste, or Bad Breath.All women need Gasearets.Simply because they don\u2019t exercise enough.They don\u2019t cat coarse food, or enough fruit and green vegetables.Those are nature's ways of keeping the bowels active.But very few women employ them.The next best way is Cascarets.Nearly all the minor ills of women can be avoided by Cascarets alone.There is no need to have headache, lame backs, depression, bad breath, bad complexion.^ The remedy is Cascarets.Not in large doses\u2014unless you wait too long.The best way is one Cascaret at a time \u2014 just when^ you need it.One every day, perhaps.Take Cascarets.Then you are always well, always at your best.Keep a 30 cent box handy always.King Gamhurst Standard and Registered.Register No.41,971.A Fast Kentucky Bred Stallion.Weighs 1,250

In closing I feel constrained to say a few words on the national aspect of tins question.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has said truly that the twentieth century belongs to Canada.But now the United States are coming to us and asking us to share it with them.We cannot shut our eyes to the fact that Americans are now looking with longing eyes towards Canada.They need and want our raw materials.President Taft says we are now at the parting of the ways.He and his people would mark out a new path for us\u2014a path, as has been said, that leads from home, from the mother land.The breaking of the commercial bonds which now help to bind us to tiie British Empire, and the transferring of them to the United States, appears to me to he a step in the wrong direction from the national standpoint.I am strengthened in this opinion by the stand taken regarding reciprocity by many prominent Liberals who put country before party.Some may read the patriotic up-peals made by Messrs, Borden and Foster and say that they are prompted by political considerations.But not so with the statements of Sir George Ross, Sir .Edmund Walker and the Liberal bankers, shippers, importers and manufacturers, who have such largo stake in this country and who have publicly opposed the agreement, giving as one of their reasons the following : \u201cBelieving, ns we do, that Canadian nationality is now threatened with a more serious blow than nny it lias heretofore met with, and that all Canadians who place the interest.;-: of Canada before those of any party nr section or individuals therein should at this crisis state their views openly and fearlessly, we, who have hitherto supported the Liberal party in Canada, subscribe to this statement.\u201d Neither would Mr.Sifton, once an influential member of the Government, have severed his party ties and taken the platform against the scheme were not our very national life threatened.His own opinion is very forcibly expressed as follows : \u201cHe says (referring to Mr.Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Congress) that he and his party are in favor of this \u2019 proposal because it leads to annexation.What did Mr.Taft, the leader of the Republican party, say ?The Dominion of Canada is a strong country; it has a great storehouse of natural resources.He says it has been pursuing a strong and successful policy of development, but it has got to the parting of the ways.He says, \u2018Now before the Dominion of Canada is irrevocably fixed in the policy which leads to tiie consolidation and the strength ening of the British Empire, we must turn her from her course.\u2019 Is there any dispute about it ?It cannot lie disputed.I say to my honorable friends of the Liberal party, as well as to my honorable friends- of the Conservative party : Stop and think.You are all grown men, you are all men of wisdom and discretion.I say that if we accept, the terms we shall assuredly be called upon to pay the price.Sir, I oppose these resolutions because, in my judgment, they reverse the great and successful policy under which \u2018the people of Canada, fighting against poverty, against natural obstacles, against geographical conditions, have made of their country one of the most enviable in the world.These resolutions, in my judgment, spell retrogression, commercial subordination, the destruction of our national ideals and displacement from our proud position as the ri ing hope of the British Empire.\u201d The old reciprocity treaty was repealed in anger by the United Bin tes, and with the, admitted purpose to hurt Canada.Ami it did.The McKinley tariff and the Ding-ley tariff were aimed largely at, Canada.They hit Canada, and hurt her, too.We had \u201cto struggle for years against these hostile tariffs until lin-allv we enacted the national policy of Canada for the Canadians, and under it wo have prosperity and are now prospering.We have built up a great system of railways and canals, developed a large interprovincial trade, and enabled industries of our own to grow up here aiul flourish, even in the shadow of the powerful trusts and combinations just across the line.We have opened up our great West, which is destined to furnish homes for millions of loyal Canadians.And there has never been a time when we could not have had immunity from this struggle, first for existence and then in nation building, by simply hoisting Jlie white flag.Throughout it all we struggled on, and shall we hoist it now when success is perching upon our banners ?Emphatically no.Let us not abandon that far-sighted national policy which has cemented together out- scattered provinces by the development of interprovincial trade and the creation of mutual interests, and has made us the brightest and most valued gem in the diadem of the British Empire.Let us remember, too, that we liav,, obtained our present proud and prosperous condition, not with the help of the United States, but rather with their strenuous opposition.And now shall wo divide our heritage with them ?Shall we sell our birthright\u2014risk our present prosperity and our future prospects for the mess of pottage they are offering us ?1 believe that when Canadians get an opportunity to pronounce upon this question they will answer decidedly\u2014no.r\u201d The Finest Spring Tonic i After the RUrjng\u2014a of climat ml la eluiIU?ie of CAMPBELL\u2019S QUININE WINE is?the tOlti Prominent * \u2019 ( \u2019 A M TI \u2019* hi 18 / : thirty year* AM PUKLh.Sold hy all D K.CAMPBELL & CO.MlVs.MONTREAL\u2019: Boon to Women Mr* WC Out fitli, of Main St., Ilep-ays : \u201cA heavy bearing-settled across my bark, vas often unablo to stoop u y self up.I w a, ;
