\u2018to \u2018the People of Canada CANADIAN \u2018PATRIOTISM Convinced That of all Bonds That Bind the ; Bond of Commerce the Strongest.London, Dec.28.\u2014Right Hon.Joseph Chamberlain sends the following message .to the people of Canada by means of the Montreal Star:\u2014 *I thoroughly appreciate the patriotism of the Canadian peopl, and the sentiment which so strongly moves them in the consideration of all (ues tions of \u2018commercial preference he- tween the Dominion and the Mother Count ntry.\u201cI am profoundly romvinced that of all the bonds that, can unite nations, the bond of commerce in the strongest, and the puroeplion of this fact will, I foal assured, ultimately lead to the closer union between Great Britain and her.colonies, which I cah sce to be the only foundation for & great empire.Such & tnion can only be brought about by the spread of mutual understanding, and I njoico that the movement bas made great progress during the last few years.issuc has never been fairly raised in the United Kingdom, and the defeat of the Unionist party at the last coction was due to cause altogether outside the question of mutual preference.\u201cMeanwhile the efforts of some eof our most influential journals in this country, and of others in the Dominion, prominent among which 1 count the Montreal Star, will have their national weight when the opportunity comes to appeal for a new aecisjon of the people of the British race throughout the world on this critical question.\u201cThe owing strength and prosperity of Can i - ada will give to her cision an imporieace that it never hod before, and 1 do not believe that in the long run the people of this country will be \u2018behind the other parte of the empire in promoting a policy which must tcad to place the British Empire on a level with the other grent ns- soriations of matioss with which it will khve to competé.Highbury, Decimber 24.a ( Signed } \u2018J.Chamberlain.\u201d N.Y.INSURANCE CO,

Ire land, through.dentuvies of penal Jegislation, can tranquilly 4aee in France cither alternative, or both.Indeed, outside pressure, short of annihilation, weldom cripples any religion.Make it « crime to attend a religious service und churchgoing would increase enor- wously.Even thoæ | who now direct their efforts upon Sunday to getting into hotels would transfer their ener vies to lloding a side door to the churches.Human nature is such that oppression reccis .to establish the canse that it aima to crush, In discussing this ancient religion, wuch ill-fceling would be avoided i criticism and defence of the church alike was coulined to the church, an it appears, in our midst.No man can accurately understand any age or any counters in which he has not lived.The Homan Catholic, therefore; resides in Taronta, is not unteason- able in asking that his church ' be judged as it appoars in Toronto.Neither he nor hiv Protestant critic can lagalbiy know anything about the real conditions in France or Italy to- tay, or about the real conditions anywhere else, may three centuries ago.It ia a fair proposition, then, to de wand that Catholics and Protestants ulike be judged by what they do, and how they comport themaclves, here and now.They would be found good people, all headed for the same place, antl conmnon sense teaches that the vast majority will arrive, whatever route they muv select.if the Catholic Church is to decay, her loss will mof come from external attack.She thrives upon persecution, Is there danger from within ?The man on the street is probably quite impressed with the notion that the Catholic Church ix losing ground throughout the world.Pressed for particulars, he might naturally sa: that us people grow more liberal anid dentocratic, apd sducation becomes wore woerally diffused, one country after another will leave the Church of Rome.lle would say that France leads the way, that Spain and Italy will follow.Trua, democratic conditions and popular cxucation have brought with them no revolt from Rome in Canada ir the United States.But there is the rejoinder that so huge en organisation continues for years after decline has really set in.The general summing up will bo that the church ie etandinÿ still ; that the age is awcoping pes - The wayfatg' Unthalie in not much disturbed.Hime faith includes a belief in the indestructibility of the church.But there ure signs that among his more thoughtful co-religionists, the spirit of enquiry and unrest, so prominent awong other Christians, is wot unknown, This finds evidence, not in challenging the doctrines or even the discipline of their church, but in an effort to improve schools; to restate positions mote clearly ; to mare frank- y moot the changed consitions ol modern life ; to prune mere pious belies that encumber essential doc trines ; to give the people more ade: yuate representation in the mlminis- tration of the church.and n more active participation in the forms \u2018 of public worship.The movement now spreading through continental Europe is not of this character; it is distinctly hostile and aggressive ; but it may load to changed conditions, which will leave their impress in ecclesiastical improvements.Except in times of stresy, the ordinary layman who han attemited to modernize the ancient church, har usually found disappointment.Lord Acton and St.George Mivart, iv Eugland, are notable examples.No one on the western continent seems inclined to throw him.sclf in the breach, although it is not unjust to suy that many intelligent Catholics feel (hat the church needs a vigorous awakening, and that it should be more abreast of the times and alive to its opportunities, A church with #0 vast a constituency is a large factor in the world, and the present troubles in France are therefore of world-wide interest.\u2014To- ronto Worldwho Government statistics, it would pear that the timber wealth country is suffering from rapid inroads.Dr.J, F.Clark, forcater for the Proviner of Ontario, shows that Novth America to-day cuts three-ffthx and consunes more than one-half of the total Jumber production of the whole world.This prodigious consumption is very rapidly increasing, both on account of n growth in the Per capitu consumption, and Abe consuming population, Continuing, this authority says: \u201cThere ean be no manner of doubt but that the proacnt annual cut, together with that = de- atroyedl by lire, vastly execede the net annual = production by growth, Tn ap | other words, un wood famine in North America i« already in

tonishing that move is not bring done by the governments to provide for new srrowth.The population of consuming area, tributary fo our for- esta, har increased Jour fold during the last hall ceutur, but itn wood ronsutmption has ioeteaned ten fold, This great ingreame, in the uso of for ent products, has already established wom, prices, which, from the standoainl of revenue, is satisfactory.But it should not be forgotten that the vise in prices, \u2018which maken forestry a business proposition, has come about in the fn+ of an exploitation of the forrata of the country, on a than wna over non elwewliore in history, and which ex: perts claim must be cnetailed.When it ir considersel that the C.P.R.last | voue\u201d ronsumed one hundred and forte million fect, and that the G.T.R, consumed one hurudrrd million fret, a pretty clrar idea, will hr got as to \u201chas enormous quantities must be consumed by the entire country.In addition to the home consumption, millions of legt are exported every vr.In regard to timber in the nited States, the position is much worse serious than in Canada.\u2018\u2018In 18 yoars,\u201d docla:es the Canadian Foresperate position of having to

habits, become a matter of anxious concern to the householder.The price of eggs is brought home to the householder, sometimes C.0.D., at this season when Christmas puddings and cakes are in course of propuration and the strenuous weather makes the savory omelette and the practical bacon aud eggs particularly appetising.With the increased prices conics a wonderment as to the reason in a country where, as well as the finewt wheat ia the world, an prodused the finest brunda of hen- feed, Lhat there should bo such an increase in the price of the eggs, we remembered in other davs and in other lands, The cause is evident.Probably five out of evory tea incomers to Western Canada are fullv possessed of a knowledge of the profits of poultry in ecatasy of the delights of hen ranching.But they listen to the siren cals of the wheat Gelds and the al, luring inducements of the real estate market.And they are lost to a profitable life work of daily tracking Fone to their lairs.Whant growing and real catate buying cannot forever lure the man of busfiiesx sense fromjsuch a source of profit on the borders of large centres of an eg&-consuming population.The poultry show held this weck in Winnipeg gives evidence of not only increasing and practical interest in the poultry business, hut also that many of the best.classes ol poultry are being introduced into Western Canada.Winnipeg

sulphur acts directly on the liver and excretory organs and purifien and maintaining bodily vigor and and enriches tke blood by the prompt elimination of waste material.Our grandmothers knew this when they dosed us\u2019 with sulpbur and molasses every spring nnd fall, but the erudity and impurity of ordinary flowers of sulphur were often worse than the disease, and cannot compare with the modern concentrated preparations of sulphur, of which Stuart's Calcium Wolers is undoubtedly the best and moat widely used.They aro the natural antidote for liver and kidney troubles and cure constipation and \u2018purify the blood in a way that often surprises patient and physician alike.tL Dr, R.M.Wilkine, while experimenting with sulphur remedies, soon found that the sulphur from Calcium was su- rior to uny other form.He Ini \"For liver, kidney and blood troubles, especioliy when resulting from consti- tion or malaria, I bave been sur prised pt the results obtained from Stuart's Calcium Wafers.In patients suffering from boile and pimples and even -sented carbuncles, I have repeatedly seen them™dry up and disappear in fou( or five days, leaving the wkin clear and smooth.Although Stuart's Calcium Wafers is a proprietery article and sold by drugyists and for that reason tabooed by many physi- clans, yet 1 know nothmg so sale and relisble for constipation, liver and kidney troubles and especially in all forma of skin disegses au this remedy.At any rate people who arc tired of pills, cnthartion and so-called blond \u201cpurifiers\u201d will nd in Stuart\u2019s Calcium Wafers, a far safer, more palat- eble and effective preparation.Send your name and address today for a free trial package and se for If, SA.Stuart Co., 57 Stuart Bldg, Marehall, Mich, in restoring | SERVIAS RULER OX ANXIOUS SEAT Strong Movement on Foot to Depose King Peter THREATS OF MURDER encwed Activity of Friencs of the Mürde Pitre Smith Ward .\u2018ampbell > Laviolette .Gaul er rr ES J Sweitzer .\u2026\u2026 jardner !
