Œhronicle QUEBEC, DECEMBER 9, 1910.A8 YOU WERE.So far as can be gathered from the results of the British elections, it will be a case of the status quo.The Unionists have made very few gains and the Liberals do not seem likely to suffer any material loss.The chief lesson to be learned from the election is the power of the Irish minority.To the ordinary eye Mr.Redmond scems to have established himself more securely than ever.Neither of the two English parties can do without the vote of the Nationalists.In the words of the New York Herald, \u201cunless the remaining elections go decidedly ia favor of the unionists, he remains a \u201cdictator\u201d in the British Parliament and a sort of uncrowned king of the United Kingdom.As in the folds of the Roman's toga, so | in the skirts of Mr.Redmond's frock \"coat, there is peace or war.One or ;the other will result according to { whether his demands are complied ! with or opposed.In the existing circumstances, Mr.Asquith can continue to lead the Dritish democracy only by following Mr.Redmond.\u201cThis is with a vengeance a case of \u201cthe tail wagging the dog.\u201d Theoretically a minority\u2014the Redmonditescan make and wnmake the majority.They are therefore for all practical purposes the government.\u201d | There is, of course, the chance that the Government and the Opposition may realize from this election who it is that holds the whip hand in English politics at the present moment and may confer together for the purpose of eliminating the third party.But party spirit and British obstinacy are likely to militate against the realiza- { tion of any such possibility.A REDUCED CITY COUNCIL.Alderman Cannon's motion to reduce the numbers of the City Council | is well worth consideration.Here in Quebec we have 34 aldermen for a city with a population of only 80,000 to 90,000, which seems much too large a representation, when we consider that Boston and such cities conduct i all their civic business with no more ' than ten aldermen.Tt has been suggested that a board 19 control system might be adopted if the number of the aldermen was | reduced.The system appears to be a success in Toronto and ia: Winmipeg.In the Istter city the board cen- | sists of five members\u2014ie, the Mayor as chairman and four controllers, who are elected by the city at large.There are also fourteen aldermen, or two for each ward.The controllers are elected annually, while the aldermen are elected for two-year terms, one from each ward retiring cvery year.The act changing the old form of government to that just outlined was passed early in 1906, but did not come into force until after the citizens had voted affirmatively on the measure, bringing it into force on November 10th, 1906.The general act outlines the powers and duties of the board of control and gives the city council power to further define its duties, or assign to it other duties.As new matters come before the council and the board of control, the tendency is to clear up the spheres of action.At present questions of policy are referred to council committees, and after report and action thereon by the council, the matter is referred to the board of control for execution.The Loard of control is the executive board of the city council, occupying practically the same position as a cabinet in respect to the legislature.As in the case of the latter, the board of control is part of the general legislative body.Tn addition to being the executive, the board of control is also the finance committee of the council, initiating all questions of finance, and preparing the annual estimates for submission to the council.The public school board, the board of police commissioners, and the public parks board, all independent of the council, furnish the board of control with their annual estimates before March Ist of cach year, to be included in the report to the council.Other duties of the board of con: trol are to award all contracts (all contracts being by tender), to inspect all city works and report thereon to the council each month or oftener, to nominate, dismiss or suspend heads of departments and other officers, to recommend salaries, to make regulations regarding the duties of all clerks, assistants and city employees, and a hundred other matters, As a rule, a recommendation of the board can only be reversed or varied by a majority vote of the council.There is usually a division of work among the members of the board, each having a separate department, and being supposed to master all the facts appertaining to that department.Such a system would probably re- Fifty Years a Leader The reasons far the unparalleled success of Duffy's Pure Mai.Whiskey are that being devoid of impurities, it has all the healing properties of a medicinal whiskey not found in beverage whiskies, that Ât is an absolutely pure, gentle, invigorating stimulant and tonic that overcomes al! weakening, wasting and run down conditions of the body, brain and muscle, giviag the system power to throw off and resist coughs, colds, grip, catarrb, bronchitis and lung trouble; and that it is a wonderful remedy in the treatment and cure of consumption, preu- monia, malaria, low fevers and all stomach troubles, taken as directed.Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has had many imitators, some of them going so far as to imitate the bottle, label and seal over the cork, but they gould not deceive the people \u2019 as to the contents of the bottle.Be sure when you purchase Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey that you get the genuine.Make certain that the seal over the cork is unbroken.The genuine can be purchased at grocers and liquor dealers everywhere or direct.$1.25 a large bottle.Write for our Aseptic Drinking Cup,

press to the effect that Archbishop Laugevin had put the ban on four of the subsidized organs in this province and had recommended his flock to read Le Devoir and L'Action Sociale.As every one now knows, the Archbishop has strenuously denied the accusation, and, as the Toronto Mail suggests, it would not be at all surprising if the active Laurier press had invented the whole story for political purposes.It is only the other day that one of the most prominent Crit organs circu lated a rumor thet Archbishop Bruchesi \u201chad given money to Rome in the expectation of becoming a Cardinal and being appointed to the papal chair\u2014in which position, it was alleged, he would be hostile to the so- called Liberalism and friendly to the Nationalists.\u201d This idiotic and baseless appeal to an anti-ecclesiastical sentiment, which must have been inspired by political motives, naturally had to be abandoned, THR NOISELESS SOUP SPOON.There are few men who deserve to be styled as universal benefactors.None are born to this title, few achieve it, still less have it thrust upon tHem.But there is one man to whom it should be awarded without hesitation \u2014without question.He lives in St.Louis, but even that fact does not constitute his claim to go down the ages.Despite that he\u2018 might have passed away comparatively unwept, unhonored and unsung, had not his fertile brain and skilful hands designed a noiseless soup spoon.It has taken a long time to supply this essential of civilization, but this boon and blessing is at last fashioned and may even be on the market for Christmas, or, at any rate, for the afflicted to enter upon à new lease of life and hope on January 1, Henceforth there will be no more fearful and wonderful gurglings as the lascious fluid is imbibed.For the St.Louis man \u201cguarantees positively\u201d that one cannot inhale soup through his spoon and make a noise at the same time.Thers's a reason.The spoon is made somawhat after the fashion of those drinking cups for men who are bothered by the hirsute appendage on their superior lips when they find it, so to speak, \u201cin the soup.\u201d It has & lid over one-half of its surface with a slit through which the soup enters the mouth.Evidently this must act as 2 \u201csilencer.\u201d One of its advantages, in the estimation of its designer, is that when using it you must dip yonr soup from you, not towards you, and thus ohserve the rules nf etiquette ns laid down by the elite of society.Unfortunately, the spoon is still susceptible of improvement.As itis now made it is only capable of accommodating such soups #9 zonsomme, puree of navy bean, Julienne and several va tieties of vegetable sonps, But a commencement has been made, and it is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when a special type of spoon with a large aperture capable of negotiating the mulligatawny, split pea and mock turtle varieties will he construed.In any case another milestone has been set up on the road of civilization.British capital invested in Ceqnada for the five years \u2018ending in 1909 amounted to $605,000,000, Investments of American capital for the same time \u2018» wot umount to half as much, THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.|.Had Archbishop Langevin actually put the four French Liberal papers under the ban, as he was falsely accused of doing, there would have been an outcry from all quarters egainst such an encroachment on the liberty of the press.And this outely would have been justified.Yet such a proceeding, serious as it would undoubtedly have been, would have been little worse than the Laurier method which holds practically every Liberal paper in the Dominion in a servile and mercenary bondage.Last year more than a million dollars was distributed in \u201cvertising and printing\u201d to these journals, Any Liberal paper that attempts to be inde pendent immediately loses its subsidy.The St.John Sun ventured to criticize the administration of the Intercolonial Railway and was notified in writing that if this kind of thing continued the coffers would be closed.The Telegraph of the same place did not find the Grand Trunk Pacifiq scheme to its liking, and was immediately divested of a printing and advertising business worth something like $10,000 a year.Had Archbishop Langevin really put these Liberal papers under the ban, he would probably have undergone much unfavorsble criticism from all sides.But his motives would have been conscientious.The Premier has no such excuse, as the Liberal papers are bought to block investigation into departmental scandals and to defend questionable schemes.CHEATING THE CUSTOMS.Since the order went forth in New York that all persons convicted of smuggling would receive prison sentences, American smugglers scem to have shown a tendency to operate by way of the border.Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the increase in the passenger business of the trans- Atlantic lines to this port and Montreal, agents of the American Department of Justice and the Treasury Department having reported that Americans who had made big purchases of valuable goods, especially jewellery, had booked their passage home via this country and had made the excuse the steamers for New York were uncomfortably crowded.Investigation in the Dominion soon revealed the modus operandi.The in: coming tourists would stop for a day or two in this cit\u201d or in Montreal or \u2018Toronto.The baggage would be sent to the hotel and there the steamship labels would be soaked off.Then the trip to the United States would be continued and the wily tourist would \u2018explain to the inspector at the border that he had been up in the Dominion on a little recreation.The resulting examination would be largely perfunctory.A Another matter now engaging the attention of the customs men is the report that fashionable dressmakers have been using the Canadian route to get in their dress models.As a consequence of this smuggling through Canada, the smuggling at New York is said to have almost eg- tirely ceased.The department at Washington has now decreed that there must be a reform in the collection of customs on the border.This will probably cause a good deal of annoyance to Canadians at times.And now even the cigar-cutter is declared to be a microbe-dissemina- tor.Another case of living in blissful ignorance of the deadly perils that lurk unseen about our daily path.A German paper says that the Kaiser's verses are very similar to those of Alfred Austin, the English poet laureate.And yet they say that Germany is anxious to preserve friendly relations with the little island.1f we find that the next naval estimates provide for another six or seven Dreadnoughts, we shall know the cause.If the evening paper \u201cdoesn\u2019t stand in with the clique\u201d in the City Council chamber, it is not from any lack of endeavor to do so.We had no knowledge that its council reports were inaccurate and that it was \u201cin error\u201d until it revesled the fact itself.\u201cWell,\u201d it continues, \u201call papers can't have aldermen to write their reports of the city council and

rather academic examination of Dr.Shearer, by City Solicitor Hunt, who elicited from Mr.Shearer that he had not interviewed any of the civic authorities: police or magistrate, as he had in case of the Lord's Day observance campaign, and that none of his charges were the result of personal observation and knowledge.Dr.Shearer, while admitting this, affiemed that his information was correct and well established.Finally he claimed that the administrators of the law were either incompetent or not acting tn good faith.Regarding graft, Dr.Bhearer said in an interview that he had used the term \u201cprivate police graft,\u201d but that papers had dropped the word private.FOREST CONVENTION IN QUEBEC Arrangements for Meeting\u2014 Hon.Mr.Brodeur Denies He Is to Be Lieut.-Gov.Ottawa, Dec.8\u2014Preparations for the Dominion forestry convention called by Sir Wilfrid Laurier to meet in Quebec city, January 18-20 next, are rapidly going forward.The secretary, Mr.Jas.Lawler, has just returned to Ottawa from Quebec, where the members of the Provincial Government, under Sir Lomer Gouin, are forwarding the plans.Hon.Jules Allard, Minister of Lands and Forests, personally \u2018taking

Sifton, will hold As annual meeting in Quebec on Jan.17, and as the Legislature of Quebec will then be in session and there will be special railway rates it is expected there will be a large gathering and important discussions.St.John's Ambulance.A meeting for the organization of the Ontario Council of the St.John Ambulance Associfition will be held in Toronto on Dec.22.The principal speaker on the

organization fur the Province made.A National Museum.A deputation of prominent citizens of the Capital waited on Sir Wilfrid Laurier this morning and requested some charges in the management and nature of the Royal Victoria Memorial Museum asking that it be placed under a separate commission and made an exhibit of a more national character.The Premier, in reply, was impressed with the idea of management of the museum by a commission, providing its members were gentlemen of sufficint leisure and enthusiasm to make such a success of the project as those of the Ottawa improvement commission had done.Precedents from other countries would greatly assist him in reaching a conclusion.He stated that he had heard that the Militia Department's natiénal atr gallery, he thought, ought tu be treasured within the walls the splendid new building.He asked the deputation to secure facts regarding the management of such museums in other countries by commission.Hon.Mr.Brodeur\u2019s

Splendid Performance Given by Choir of the Methogist Church.The large congregation which attended the sacred concert at the Methodist Church last evening heard a splendid rendition of some\u20ac of the choicest selections from the great masters of church music.Under the skiiful dirgetion of Mr.C.H.Thorn, the choir was heard to fine effect.It was a well-balanced chorus which Mr.Thorn led, and the different selections were rendered in a manner that gave the greatest pleasure.The unaccompanied numbers were particularly striking, but it would be invidious to beautiful effect.The programme included compositions by Martin, Dudley Buck, Mendelssohn, Sullivan, and other well-known composers, but in the opinion of all present the excerpts from Handel's \u201cMessiah\u201d were reslly the most appealing of all the numbers on the programme, and in these selections the choir were heard to the greatest advantage.The male quartette rendered a couple of selections which were deeply appreciated, and the solo work of Mr.A.Carpenter and Mr.P.T.Thomas also added tothe general success of the evening.Mr.R.Burston, the talented organist of the Methodist Chufch, was the accompanist, and his accompaniments were played with an artistic discrimination that left little to be desired His solo numbers were also greatly appreciated.A very interesting incident of the evening was the orief but very attractive address delivered by the Rev.Dr.Jackson upon \u201cMendelssohn and his Music,\u201d which proved very instructive, and appropriate to the occasion.The greatest credit must be given the .choir of the Methodist Church, its devoted leader, Mr.Chas.Thorn, and its organist, Mr.Burston, for the really splendid evening which they afforded all lovers of sacred music last evening, and the large congregation present were united in their wish that it would not be long before another opportunity would be afforded them of héaring another such brilliant performance.WOULD DO AWAY

Dec.8\u2014~The fowowers of Mrs.Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of the Christian Science Church, parted with her visible form to-day at a funeral service that was marked by its simplicity and lack of ostentation; that brought no expressions of sorrow, at least not from her followers; that was surrounded by no trappings of mourning, but which, nevertheless, was sufficiently impressive to linger long in the memory of six score of persons who attended.Judge Clifford P.Smith, first reader of the Mother Church, read the great: er part of the service, which consisted of selections from the Bible, co- relative passages from Mrs.Eddr's book, \u201cScience and Health,\u201d and a prayer.He was assisted hy Mrs.Carol Iloyt Powers, the second read- \u201cMother's Evening Prayer.t There was no eulogy.The only sobbing heard was from the young granddaughter, Mary Baker Glover, whose crepe-shrouded hat was the only sombre color note in the house.The spacious parlors where the little gatherips sat for eighteen minutes, in calm, grave thought, were bathed in sunlight.A spray of roses lay on the coffin, and here and there about the room was a bouquet, as if for decorative effect.It seemed like one of Mrs.Eddy's metaphysical meetings of years gone by, and one had to glance up at the massive bronze casket to realize the significance of the occasion.Those who looked for the last time on the features of the leader saw the small, delicate face of 8 woman scem- ingly of 60 years instead of 90.The expression on the face of the dead was singularly peaceful and showed Secure Health while

akt that he could crack a e of French plate glass half an inch thick merely by placing one hand upon it as if upon a piano keyboard and striking it sharply with his middle finger.Chopin's last study in C minor has a passage which takes two minutes and five seconds to play.The total pressure brought to bear on this, it is estimated, is equal to three full tons.The average \u201clonnage\u2019 of an hour's piano playing of Chopin's music es from twelve to eighty-four tons.i | The Dinner Horn.| Details in regard to the manner in which meals were served during the dark sges do not abound.It is only toward the twelfth century that we begin to have a little light on this interesting subject.ready in the thirteenth century the guests of a castle, with the vassals, wore assembled to the sound of a , horn, a method of summoning that \u201cap s to have been the privilage only of the greatest lords.Bome hun.reds of years later à bell was used for the purpose.The Color of the Eye.The color of the iris is not uniforme in any eye.Some eyes have spota, others stripes, still others blotches of ; white, green, blue, yellow and black, !

A prominent physician being asked the question: \u201cWhat are the things in Hie a man needs most?answered: \u201cPhysical health, strong nerves, mental efficiency, money and social success.\u201d Any man possessing these five attributes is 2 success.Any man possessing the first three can be a success and have the r two.Possession of a sound Bddy with strong nerves is really the requirement which men need most.Men need stamina, courage, staying qualities, endurance and perseverance, but in order to have these qualities the nerves must be strong and keenly sensitive to every emotion.When a man has foreboding, sensations of fear, timidity, accompanied with such symptoms as trembling hands and limbs, weak voice, nervousness, sleeplessness, numbness, dizziness, heart palpitation,\u2019 restlessness, forgetfulness, melancholia, weariness without cause, and many others of a similar nature, it cannot be expected that he will be a success financially, socially or otherwise.Strong virile magnetism comes only to those whose nerves are properly nourished in a sound body.Nature in her wisdom has supplied certain extracts, essences, etc., which, if properly blended, will restore a normal! keenness to the nerves so that any man can feel the rich red blood surging through his body supplying aikthe elements necessary to derive the most ! out of life in all its various phases.For the benefit of those temporarily deficient in nerve strength the fol: | lowing ingredients can be obtained of | any good druggist and prepared in the privacy of home.Purchase three ounces of syrup sarsaparilla compound in 2 six ounce bottle.Add one ounce of compound fluid balmwart, shake and let stand two hours.Then i add one ounce tincture cadomene compound (not cardamom) and one ounce compound essence cardiol.Mix.Shake well and take a teaspoonful after cach meal and one when retiring.Ail distressing symptoms will soon vanish and a complete restoration to normal follows, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 See Darlingtou's advertisement for Christmas, He is offering a choice selection of goods suitable for Xmas presents, and will he pleased to show i the asso:tment.A very chæming \u2018'at home\u2019\u2019 and re- ceptioz was given yesterday afternoon by Mrs.T.C.Herbert at the Chateau Frontenae, on the oceasion of the return here of Mrs.Waiter Sharpe.A lerge number of ladies were present and a most eujoy- able aflernuon was spent by ail present.Mr, and Mra.Sharpe wii be bere on this visit for over a month.Latest arrivals at the Clarendon: W.B.Kingford, Jos.Beaudry, Bt, Joba;
