Mr.Smith will write over his well known nom de plume, \u201cBystander,\u201d which he used in the iFeei for several years.It is understood that the Sun will cease to be a purely Patron paper, and an endeavor will be mado to conduct it as a general newspaper with strong political tendencies of the free lance character.Mr.W.L Smith, late editor of the Toronto New», will have charge of the reconstructed journal A Sparrow Story.Mr.A.Abert.ethy, Manager of a boot and shoe store in Kingston, Ont., tells a bird story to prove the intelligence of a sparrow.The other day he heard loud chirping and later an agitated sparrow hopped into the store, its feathers awry.It chirped several times and hopped outside.It repeated this act a second and third time, its chirping growing sharper and more distressing.After the third entry Mr.Abernethy arose and the bird hopped in front of him, went to the grating and there fluttered its wings.It was not afraid of Mr.Abernethy, who stooped and saw the cause of the trouble.The bird\u2019s offspring had fallen through and could not get away.Mr.Abernethy went down into the cellar and released the young sparrow to the joy of the mother.Mr.Abernethy looks for the mother to return and thank him as the next natural thing.A Puzzler.(From Harper'* Ra.ar.) \u201cDo you know, my dear,\u201d said Mr.Cosmo to his wife, \u201cthat a

there is one thing about it that I don\u2019t understand.\u201d \u201cWhatis that?\u201d \u201cHow do the ship builders know how much water the ship will displace, to as to *tell, how {heavy to make

the spruce trees in the land.So long as a \u201cwooden cloth\u201d\u2014and this is practically what Fibre Chamois is\u2014can be had for a trifling expense to line our outer garments with, no one need ever suffer from the sharpest winds or frostiest air of winter.An absolute nonconductor of heat and cold, Fibre Chamois is also durable, light and pliable so that the presence of a layer of it through a coat is never felt save by the protection it gives from roaring gale or icy temperature.As its thorough worth has lorg since been proved there is no possible chance of disappointment in preparing to enjoy the healthful warmth it always provides.A School Parallel.The Commission about to be appointed by Mr.Laurier to deal with the Manitoba School question might learn much from a study of the condition of things which exists in Swit-zerland.Our French Canadians have an idea that the Swiss are an ultra-Protestant people given to interfering with other people\u2019s religion.They get this idea from the fact that there was a great revival of religion among the Protestants of Switzerland in thebeginning of this century, and that thoso who desired to spread the Gospel among the French Canadians sought their workers among those whom that awakening had inspired with spiritual life, and who, speaking French, had no difficulty in commuJicatiug their thoughts.As a matter of fact, in one-half of the cantons of Switzerland the Roman Catholics are in the majority, and in all the people of the two religions live together in harmony and for the most part with the utmost mutual tolerance.Switzerland resembles Canada in being a free country, made up of people professing the tw n religions but all loyal to a common country, but it differs from Canada in that it is there the French-speaking part of the population which is for the most part Protestant, while the Roman Catholics are chiefly German and Italian.Switzerland has a very advanced national school system.They have carried collectivism so far that they not only make instruction absolutely free,, but needy children are supplied with food and clothing.Religion is taught in all the schools, but withont conflict.Where the population is not entirely of one religion, religious instruction is limited to certain days and hours, during which the children whose parents do not wish it can absent themselves.There in some cantons mixed schoola attended IJUIIFOIRTS.Per Express Companies\u2014.Inly 21\u2014Sundries to L liuot, do to J D King & co, do to 5\\ Jacques, do to Montmorency E P Co, do

instruction together in the elements of Christianity, including reading from the Bible, uutil the age of ten or eleven, when those of each faith begin to receive special instruction from their own pastors.This system prevails even in St.Gall, where the Roman Catholics are almost double the Protestants in number.The cost of education in Switzerland comes to about five dollars for each inhabitant, one half of which is raised locally by the school tax and the other half is given by Federal subventions largely for such purposes as above referred to.The wealthier parts of the Republic are thus made to aid the poorer.\u2014 Montreal IF i/ness.Laborer (leaning on fence)\u2014\u201cWhy d\u2019ye Slant them ere cabbages zigzag.Jim .?\u201d im\u2014\u201cI dooes that 1er put th\u2019
