circle the north-west sweep of the lake and stretch back from the lake running for 8 hundred miles or more, would be required to supply the demands of the Canadian market ss represented by the great

\u201cThe superintendent of the Swiss Or k e where our girls are is a spien- did woman, who, herself was early left without father or mother, and knows from experience what it means to be so bereft.She is n very aympathetic person, but one very strong in rincipie.The girls not only respect her, but dearly love her.Personally, 1 have no connection with the work of the Ur- phanage, except that 1 have promised attend to the correspondence between the children who came from Mar- sovan and their American benefactors or benefactresses.1 very often visi the Orphanage because I love the chil \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ® NATURAL = ENO\u2019S ® HEALTH-GIVING \u20ac FRUIT ® REFRESHING < SALT D INVIGORATING @ min nts in-3847 at Jubulpur, Central India.At his birth, according to custom, an astrologer was summoned, and after looking long and earnestly at the child, said with great seriousness, * This boy must not on any account be allowed to learn English.\u2019 *To learn the English language,\u2019 was the reply, is the road to preferment.How can we expect our son to get % goverument appoiutment when he becomes a man if he is ignorant of English?Will he be in more dai than bis brother being turned away from his ancestral faith?\u2019 \u201cThe boy must be guarded from eon- tamination,\u201d was the grave answer.The father died while this son was still young, and the mother moved with her family to a village near Calcutta, where she had many relatives.Here she placed ber sons in a non-Christian school and young Kali Charn made rapid progress.At the age of fifteen he had completed his preparation for the University of Calcutta, but could not enter until he was sixteen.During the year of waiting he learned much about the Free Church College from a cousin who was a student there, end became greatly interested in its principal, the celebrated Doctor Duff.One of the books which Kali Charn found in his cousin's library was a Bible, and one day the cousin read aloud n part of the Sermon on the Mount, remarking that Doctor Duff was then explaining this to his students.\u2018How beautiful! how wonderful!\u2019 exclaimed the young auditor; \u2018how different from the teachings of our sacred booka! and how I wish that I might be a student in this college.My mother êf° land brothers would not give their consent, I am eure\u2019 At length, however, the young man asked his mother\u2019s consent, and to his surprize and delight the permission was given.From the first the opening rxercises in the chapel were full of interest to the new student.The Scripture lesson taught by Doctor Duff was replete with instructions.How wonderful were the prayers he offered! Doctor Duff spoke to God ae if in His immediate presence, and craved from Him the largest bless: ings, pleading the promises of the Word.These earnest, importunate prayers startled the young student.Not thus had he been taught to come before the divinities of Hinduism.These were approached with offerings to appease their wrath; while Doctor Duff ealled the Christian's God a God of Love.Kali Charn's admiration for bis principal daily increased, as did his interest in the religious in- tetruction.To his astonishment and consternation he found that the verdict of his heart was in favor of the Bible as against the Vedas.Of this change in his views he said nothing even to his most intimate associates, knowing that to de so would result in his being imme- distely taken from the college.One day as Kali Charn stood by » win- called him into the library and questioned him concerning hin family.When the young man told him that he was fatherless, a look of tender pity came into the face of Doctor Duff, and placing a hand on the young student\u2019s shoulder, he said earnestly, \u2018Let me entreat you, then, from this time to take the Living God as your Father.He is ready to adopt you inte His family, and will be [rors to you than an earthly father could The words and the manner of the noble missionary made a profound impression on the heart of Kali Charn, and he soon sought out one of the teachers, Professor Robson, who had noted the young man\u2019s growing interest and who had sought on every nuitable occasion to deepen this intercat.Kali Charn ead supposed that Lhe was alone in his desire to know more of Christianity, but to his surprise and pleasure he found that other students were seekerp after truth.A band of four met together secretly to study the Scrip tures nnd to pray that their eyes might be opened to see the truth.One of the young men mid to Kali Chari, \u2018T am persuaded that Christian ity ie trne, tho\u2019 I am.not yet ready pub- liely to renounce Hinduism.\u201d Professor Robson seid to.him ome day, \u2018Your exercise.Act according té the Hght you have, them will your faith grow stronger.\u2018 He then quoted this passage from Jokbn dow gazing thoughtfully, Doctor Duff | faith, which is now weak, wil by |ing He decided that he could not take such a step and once more put on the dis carded cord.But now it seemed to him like & heavy chain.The Word of God no longer spoke comfort to his soul.The Saviour bearing the wounds of the eross, with sorrowful, accusing face, seemed to stand before bim, and speak these words tenderly: \u2018He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me\u2019 For three mouths he walked in dark- bess, and then feeling that for him there could be no pesce without Christ, be resolved, God helping him, to break away from the trammels of caste and become a free man.He now felt that he must bravely car into execution what before he bad timid: ly attempted to do.This time he would not only lay aside the cord, but would destroy it, lest in a moment of weakness he should be tempted to resume it.He started for the house of Professor Robson, and on the way removed the cord and cast it into a tank.On bis arrival he at once made the professor acquainted with the step he had taken and asked him to pray that he might be strengthened from cn Jligh for all that was before him, At the clowe of this interview he decided to @° to the village where his mother lived and tell her that he had resolved publicly to confess his faith in Christ.He had expected opposition, but was not prepared for his mother's stormy outburst of grief.All the arts of persuasion were used to dissuade him from his purpose; snd when these did mot avail, ridicule was employed.His friends wept before him, and with bitter lamentation implored him not to bring upon them the disgrace which would surely be their portion should he become a traitor by renouncing the faith im which be bad been reared.The angel of the Lord stood by and strengthened him.He told his friends that be was already a Christian at heart and assured them that he loved them as never before, and them not to cast him off.Finding that no heed was given to hia words, he sorrowfully turned away and his friends made no effort to detain him.Soon after arriving at his lodgings in the city he dispatched a mes eenger to the house of Professor Robson with a note in which he described his isit to bia mother and its results.The professor lost no, time in seeking the young disciple.* Have you fully decided to renounce Hinduism and make a pub- Jic confession of your faith in Christ ae your Redeemer,\u2019 he asked.\u201c1 have indesd,\u2019 was the resolute an- ewer; \u2018 and since I have made this deei- sion I have experienced a-peace to which I had before been a stranger.\u2019 * Are you ready now to accompany me to the mission house, there to prepare for this important event?\u2019 \u201c1 am ready,\u2019 was the prompt answer.\u2018 Then let us go_si once,\u2019 said the y10- essor.Through the narrow stréets the two treaded their way, many curious and by no means friendly eyes following them.Kali Charn was well known and held in high regard because of his unvarying courtesy and kindness, but his countrymen did not like to see him in company with the missionary.Not long after, the young disciple was baptised in the collega hall in the pre sence of five or six bundred of the students of the college.It was an occassion of deep solemnity, end produced no disturbance.The Christian students were full of thanksgiving that from the ranks of Hinduism one, by nature so well fitted to adorn his profession.had declared himself on the Lord's side.Among the non-Christian students were not « few who secretly sympathised with him.For three years Kali Charn sat under the religious instruction of Doctor Duff before complete failure of health compelled the great missionary to leave far- ever the land and the work to which his pec heart was wedded.Kali Charn\u2019e bap- tiem took place two or three monthe after Doctor Duff's departure, and when the news of this event reached Scotland, the missionary nent to the young disciple n letter telling him of the joy that Afied bis heart at the tidings, and aseur- \u201chim of bis eontinued prayerful interest.Mr.Banerjl'e wide charity, bis

that he could implicitly confide in him as a lawyer because assured of his absolute honesty.At bis death be left in his will an annuity to Mr.Banerji in token of the high regard in which be held him

poaugurated.Since that time this body has met annually to discuss the methods of the English Government in their relation to the peoples of the Indian Empire, and to suggest changes and reforms.Several yedrs ago this Co held its session in one of the northern cities of India, and near the close of the week when announcements dor future meetings were made, it # poted with surprise by the Chris tings: pr t that sessions were to be held on the Sabbath, as on other days of the week.At the session following thes annouripements Mr.Banerji, after conference with fellow Christians, arose and said, \u2018We, members of tbe Christian community, who are members of this Congress, greatly regret the announcement of meetings to be held on the coming Sabbath.The Sabbath is to Christians a holy day, because the God whom we serve has commanded that this day be kept sacred.Should the Congress decide to hold sessions for the transaction of business on that day we, as Chris.tiaps, must withdraw from this Body.T do not mean merely non-attendance on the sessions held on the Sabbath.What 1 wish to be distinctly understood is that if the Congress, by holding business sessions on the Lord\u2019s day, violates the day which we as Christians esteem eacred, we must altogether sever our connection with the body.\u2019 The question was not at that time dis- cused, but later, when the non-Christian members of the Congress came together for an ioformal discussion of this matter, some said that the stand taken by Mr.Banerji was mere bigotry, and ssked why the prejudices of the few should be expected to influeuse the conduct of the majority.Since, however, this minority was influential, and the council could not afford to lose the support of a man like Mr.Banerji, the notices for the ensuing Sabbath were eancelled.Altho\u2019 advancing years and increasing physical infirmity kept this honored servant of the Master from engaging as actively in Christian service, for some years before his death he stood in tbe front rank as a beloved leader in the cause which he espoused in his youth.Mr.Banerji was one of the three leading men of the Indian Christian community who sent forth the call which led to the formation of the National Missionary Society of India.Referring to Mr.Banerji'e death, on February 6th of this year, a nati pe per, the \u2018Muslim Patriot,\u2019 A

For this blood the carter was fined fifteen dollars, with the alternative of a month in jail.\u2014 The mysterious robbery of the regal of the Order of St.Patrick at Dublin Castle, the utter absence of any clue to the perpetrators aud the supreme audact- ty of the theft, at which the detectives stand bewildered, is an instance on # grand scale of what almost every owner of precious Jewellery has experienced.Jewels are locked away in some receptacle supposed to be a safe repository.After a time, when wanted for some rurpose, the owner opens his treasure chest and iinds it empty.The precious contents are gene, but when and by whom taken cannot be discovered.The last time the regalia was inspected and found intact was on June 11 last.If the robbery wan the work of professional burglars, five weeks would be ample for removing the jewels from their settings and reducing the gold and silver to Im gots in the smelting pot, according to the custom of receivers of such stolen goods.There is a possibility of the insignia being held for a rewsrd, but it is unlikely, unless the robbers are non-professionsia.The theft recalls the exploit of the \u2018daunilees miscreant, Colonel Thomas Blood, wha in the reign of Charles 11.planned to steal the royal regalia of England.Disguised _as a clergyman, with several accomplices, he entered the Tower of London, where the regalia was and is etill kept, murdered the keeper of the jewels and actually carried off the crown while ne of his gang took the orb.Pursued and overtaken, they were thrown into a dungeon in the Tower.There the King visited Blood, took him into favor, relessed him and gave him an estate worth five hundred pounds 9 year.This astounding climax to a career of unparaileled turpitude could tave orcurred at no other period of Eng: lish history.The Dublin imitators ot the redoubtable Colonel did their work more quietly and effectively, in accordance with modern methods, and seem to have got away with their booty, nor left a wrack behind, \u2018 Never was à deughter's edmirer troat- ed with more studied rudeness by « parent who had other views for her than that with which the Russian government organ, the \u2018Novoe Vremys,\u2019 has treated Russia's faithful ally, France.For mors than a decade France seemed like tho little dog at Russia's heels, ready to {bark for Rusia at every turn, Russia returning little but disdain.When, in spite of France being only a vulgar republic, Russia did acknowledge the al- lisnce almost in so many words, France was ecstatic.In some way things bave changed.Rumia became much more in need of France's alliance tham France was of Rumis's, That was galling.But France kept on lending her money, and w she submitted to the situation.[hen the time came when France was not oh.mquious.France is even accused of giving sdvice to the country that owes Ler m much.Russia finds it bad enough to need such allies as France, bad enough, to owe her money she cannot pay, and to want more; but to get advice\u2014and from » republic! People ought to know their place! And so the \u2018Novos Vremyn' has | broken out like any acid old scold and given the impertinent country, with no thing but a president, a bit of its mind.The explanation given of ail this rude news is & desire on the part of Russie, or rather of the Bamien buresucracy, > So THH MONTREAL: to gb an good terms with Germaay.The Kaiser would no doubt be much pleased to have an obsequious ally of such distinction.Russia cannot, a France did, lend money, nor does Ge many need it; but her highly aristocratio bearing would greatly enrich the fresh Tustre of the newer empire.\u2014 In connection with the capture of Kaid MacLean by Raisuli, a writer recalls a phase of the South Sew Bubble, and iu- dulges in a dream of what might bave been if that high fever of speculation hed not euddenly collapsed.Nearly two centuries ago, in the fatal April of 1720, which was eo full of preposterous and bizarre echemes-euch as extracting moonbeams from cucumbers end gold from acawster\u2014it was advertised in a London paper that, \"It is well-known a trade to \u2018 Barbary (it well-founded and estad- \u2018 lished) will be of great consequence and \u2018 advantege to this nation; that such a \u2018trade (if well managed) would vend \u2018yearly more than ten thousand pieces \u2018of wodllem cloth, besides other woollen \u2018 manufactures, and introduce a continual \u2018friendship with the Empéror of Fes \u2018and Moroooo, and thereby preserve our \u2018 countrymen from being continually car \u2018ried into slavery.The advertisement goes on to declare that for the purposs of establishing this trade, and of contri buting to the redemption of \u2018those cur \u201c brethren who are not in slavery,\u201d it \u2018was proposed to obtain a charter \u2018by a \u201c person that not only understands that \u2018trade, and knows the language and veo \u201cple, but bas great proofs of the present * Emperor of Morooco's favor, with es \u2018surances of any privileges thet may \u2018arise by any settlement or settlements \u2018in any part of his dominions\u2019 What eanctly became of this scheme in the gem- eral rout is not recorded, but the con: clusion is reached that Kaid Maclean.who assuredly \u2018 knows the language and \u2018people, and has great proofs of the \u2018 present emperor's favor,\u2019 is undoubtedly a captive, and so far no mare avecemsful in his venture than was the bubble-blow- cr of two centuries ago.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 The \u2018 Westminster Gazette\u2019 notes what it considers an almost dramatia coincidence, in that, a little while ago, while congratulations upon having completed his ninefieth year were being cordially given to Sir Joseph Hooker, who served as naturalist on board the \u2018 Erebus\u2019 fo the Antarctic expedition of 1839-43, wider Sir James Clark Roms, Lieutenant Shackleton, the leader of the latest -\" but so would any mesns of locomotion that could keep up sixty miles as hour, as the electric car

undiplomatic, position, when, in declining ao amendment to his demand for the inviolability of private property on the high seas, he said, © We carried the vote \u2018with sn enormous majority; baving \u2018had the whole, why should we take \u2018ba?Had The Hague Confereses been a body with power lo enforce its majority conclusions, there would bave been an argument in this; although very little reason, seeing bow at that Conference the most insignificant states rank with the most impo:tant\u2014Hayti and Uruguay with the United States.But, as it wes well understood that nothing could be accomplished by the Conference without genersl consent, it waa mere rudeness to boast of an epor- mous majority, so made up.It wae foolish, too, to reject any half measure, presuming it to be good eo far as it went, on \u2018ha score that the whole mes- sure had obtained this vain majority.Uf the ball measure had met with genera amont it would bave becs en achieve mem; whereas, one to which many ol the leading powers were opposed was mo schievement at sll, no matter bow great the majority.A mors egregious claim followed.When some one claimed that the populations represented in the minority vote were greater than shose in the majority, the United Btates fell to adding up, snd found that here also its side was in the majority.Professor de Maartems, the Nestor of the Confer ence, calmly Yemarked that if Chine or Nw ~~ = J A quickest mom-siop run oa the London were omitted it would not be so.The \" Joer 28, 190% absurdity of a test the! would came à country, Just rubbing it es from

etic up the British representatives to greater activity on be half of arbitration and the limitation of armaments.He pointed out that the necensity for general assent made progress in @ body

however, if all the truth were told about the oid- ost houses, the origin of many of them would net be found sny leas ignoble than tithing millions made out of beer, or marshalling to the party's aid a battery of yellow papers.There ie no doubt that the discussion that is going on will tend to purify the atmosphere, but the fact that the motion to shelve the proposal for investigation of the reasons for the bestowsl of titles was moved by the Premier and seconded by the leader of the Opposition, suggests the possibility that meither party cares to bave its records in the - stter looked

loudly lamenting their disappointment, unable to ses the obvioss sctual gain in the presence of the gres\u201cer failure of their hopes; that is, supposed failure, for they have, as ye, Po knowledge as to what is being done, or as to what hall be the outcome.There was no doubt s osrtain grotesquenesy about the movement from the beginn'ng.It originated with a well-meaning young Caar, whoes coungellors had to humor aim im the matter, though the whole proceeding was to them ridieulous.The first Come gress did mot pass awsy, however, with- \u2018 out fruit, more thes im preportion te the cost of it.Lord Pauncelots, with the active support of Mr.lay, doggedly fought for the estsblishment of the pris ciple of avnitration and its embediment in an internationsl court, and the first great step was taken is the governmental organization of the world.This time the Cear himself did not want s conference, which could not but accentuate the abeurdity of bis position as the apostle of peace; and certainly his advisers did not.Yet when challenged by the President of the United States, there wag uo escape from joining is the invitation, and accepting in form the primacy among the powers, which before he had sssumed and was conced- od to him.But from the beginning of the proceedings, his representative, M.Nelidoff, has taken\u2019 the vole of an obstructionist, who means to regard the discumions as purely academic and to render the conclusions, as far as possible, nugatory, There is ao easier task than the one which he hes set himself; but though he may be able to check the expression of humanity through that particular council, he can, no more than Canute, stay the rising tide of international brotherhood.Indeed, ail that is meeded to make it fruitful is that some of those who attend shall be determined to secure that the conference shall] mot be arren of positive results.Whatever may have been the pious wishes of the Czar in the freshness of his untried autbority, Rue- sim was the very incarmation of enmity to all progress toward the comity of mations.In her war with Japan, her bar berism and ignorance were brought inte vivid contrast with the constitutionsiiem and intelligence of the new power.If Russia had learned her lemon, she might now, humble and in her right mind, be « real power for peace.But, though fall- es from her pedestal of power, she 10 otill, imperially speaking, the same unredeemed savage that she was.She is etill opposed to all internatiomal compacts, so that she may have the fewer to violate, as her habit has always _ been.Count Nelidoff at the Hague is , [only revealing with courteous suavity, what all Russian diplomats have striven to concesl\u2014their contempt for eonven- tions and determination to ignore them whenever it suited their purposs.The second conference may or may not be \u20ac failure in reaching practical results, but the principle on which it was founded is one tbe nations cannot let die.The age of universal human intercourse is rapidly advancing, and the need of a code of intermational law, defining the rights snd powers of nations in peace end war, is every day growing more abeolute.Indeed, it may reasonably be assumed that, by the time a third conference shall be called, Russia will either bave a new life and a new heart given her or will bave cessed to be in à position even to play obstructionist in the face of a world united on moral grounds for praetical purposes.\u2014\u2014en NAVAL BTRENGTH.What Lord Tweedmouth, the First Lord of the Admiralty, has described as

freedom was established, the government could only treat marriage as a civil contract, to be registered as such in or der to preserve civil status and protect the rights of offspring snd of property.1t followed of necessity that those who agreed upon emtering into the marriage relation should go openly before a eivil magistrate and in the presence of wit- memes formally declare and register their union.Having thus complied with the civil law, they were free to have a re li ceremony performed by priest or minister, accôrdiag to their convictions or inclinations.The secular as pecte of the contract were ail that concerned the government; the religious were purely personal.This was the logical attitude\u2014and France is nothing if mot logical\u2014for the state to taks in a country where whole masses of the people had repudiated the su- thority of the Church and where many kinds of religion and of no religion were professed.In Canada we do not face conditions in which large masses iganre religion, and the dificulty ie, in practice.got over by making the ministers of t#- ligion the officers of the state.Though the logical outcome of the separation of church and state, the law of civil marriage was the amertion of a principle condemned in the Syllabus of Pius 1X.inasmuch as it wus @ declaration of tht supremacy ss far as governmental administration was concerned of the civil over the ecclesiastical law.The defence net up by the Bishop of Beuvron would be valid under the canon law, which per mits marriages otherwise irregular to be solemnized under certain conditions, but, though such conditions may have been shown to bave existed, they could not abrogate the civil law.By this decision it has been once more affirmred that the civil law, which is the will of the people in concrete form, is the supreme law and all ecclesiastics must submit to it, whatever may be their pretensions to divine right.And so the world, after many centuries of struggle with those who would be its masters, has got back to the encient classic declaration of freedom\u2014 \u201cVox populi, vox dei\u2019 However false it may be in point of fact to assume that the popular decision is the voice of God; still that is the axiom on whioh demo cratic government rests.It is the only one that modern institutions bave to rest upon, and it is probably, at least, truer ultimately than any that has pre ceded it, such as the divine right o kings, or the infellibility of 8 church.The voice of tha peoply ie often a very foolish voies; but when it makes mis takes it carries its ows punishment, and teaches its lesseu, and, under its rule, the people are always learning, which Bourbons and chureh council mever could.rt A ROMANCE OF TAXATION.The French Minister of Finance, M Caillaux, bas introduced an income tas bill to the French Chamber of Deputies, and M.Jaures, the Socialist leader, en- thusiastieaily describes it as \u2018a glorious \u2018stage in the march of human progress.\u2019 On the other hand, M.Jules Roche, the principal opponent of the measure, describes it as \u2018a romantie literary com- \u2018 position.\u2019 M.Caillaux hiraself aserib- od what opposition there was to his bill to \u2018the mere selfishness of the moneyed \u2018classes\u2019 It ig the old controversy between direct and indirect taxation, and those supporting M.Caillaux bave on their ide such an authority as Mid and all the later Liberal econemical writers.Mil defined @& divers dan es one \u2018demanded from the very porseus who \u2018ft is intended or desired should pay The ics) important direct taxes re those levied on income or capital directly, and the most important indirest tazes are tbose derived from the ewatoms and excise duties.Adam Smith, ia his canon of economy, states ss = genera! principle that every tax ought to be so contrived as both to take out sud keep out of the pockets oi the people as little as possible over and above what it bringe into the public treasury of the state; and says thst taxes may break this rule by requiring & large number of officials for their collection Ly restraint of trade snd yroduction, by encouraging smuggling and by causing unnecessary vexstion.There is no form of taxation that takes more out of the people's pockets in pre- portion to what it puts into the treasury than a protectiye tax, whose object is not to fill the treasury but to force people to pay to their neighbors.Apart, however, from the principles underlying different taxes it bas bees found that am old tax causes less incom venience than a new tax of smaller amount, à fact so striking in some cases as to have given rise to the maying that \u2018an old tax is mo tax.\u2019 Should the bull of M.Caillaux come into force the government of which he is a member wili soon prove the force of this.The new tag will cause them more than a peck of trouble to begin with, and to attempt it shows that at least it is sot lacking in courage.The income tax is, bowever.a gemuing tax, and not a juggle, snd bar therefore the highest moral principle on its side.It is a tax on wealth, snd will therefore, with certainty, have the people on its side.It may be said that it is wisdom to tax people where they are unconscious of the burden, as in the case of the customs revenues.Yet, on the other hand, it is one of the axioms of taxation that \u2018those taxes are bust which \u2018in case of need can be most conveni- \u2018 ently increased in amount.\u2019 1t is that eharacteristic of the income tax which bag made it wo popular with succeeding British chancellors of the exchequer since Pitt.Schonberg, too, ip his \u2018Handbook of Political Economy,\u2019 ssys that the highest regard must always be paid to the real incidence of taxation, and earc takes that the real burden of the ter falls on those simed at by the legisia- ture.Advocates of the income tax contend that that tax comes Dearest of ail taxes to this ideal.At any rate, the French Government is not proposing a» incomg tex for France in any spirit of desgesstion, because other forma of taxas tion bare failed, but because of a belief in its justios and efficacy.It was dif- fewent in the time of Pitt, who imposed the first income tax for England in 1708 when Britain had been already bled whit in order fo meet the expenses of the French war.Nothing else would have mady it possible in those days of the rule of aristocracy and privilege.It was indeed abolished for a few years at the conclusion of peace in 1801.Now that.after a bundred years, the people are uppermost, it is imposed not as a dire necemity, but is bailed by a demo eratie country as a \u2018glorious stage in the \u2018mareh of human progress.\u2019 GLASGOW TRAMWAYS.A littly more than twelve years ago, the eo tion of the city of Glasgow assumed the ownership and undertook the operation of the tramways, and each suecesding year's credit balance bas been a source of pride, pleasure and profit to the Glaswegians.The city\u2019s tramways are divided into sections a little over half « mile in length, and a balf-peany, or cent, is charged to a pessenger travelling over ens of these sections, while à penny, or two cents, will pay for his pamage over three sections, or about a mile and thres-quarters.The pepula- tion of the city of Glasgow is in round nembers 800,000, and the passengers car- vied last year numbered 234,085,000, so thet each inhabitemt took the cars on an average 280 times.The population of Montreal, including the suburbe, is ap proximately 434,000, and the passengers carried numbered 76:856,000, or an average of trips per person of 182.The To- romto population is roughly 300,000, and the number of passengers carried last yoar was 76,908,438, 50 that each member of the population rode on air average 257 times during tbe year.The people of Glasgow have to cslculate very much closer im their sxpenditures than bave the people of Montreal, and are noted for thrift.The greater frequency with which the cars were taken in Glasgow ie doubtiess accounted for by the fact that the average fare there was less then two eents, or, exactly, 188 cents, compared with an average of about 3.86 cents in Montreal and about the same probably in Toronto.The gross re Glasgow citisen hae the additional Pleasure of knowing that every time he goes on board s tram-car he helps to sog- ment the city\u2019s wealth, instead of adding to the emormous wesith of a private company.: At present, Ulsagow has à balance to the eredit of depreciation and permanent way fund of £1,070,282, end at the credit of the geners] reserve fund a balance of to £547,3707 In addition to that, the eum of £320,760 bas since 1804 been paid to the commen good, and a further sum is forthcoming on tbat account.In view of eur distreseful winters, amd of the comparatively greater spread of our system among & emaller population, the comparison cannot be driven to the last point.There is much to be ssid in favor of lower fares for shorter distances, but there is against it the fact that it would chiefly add to the dewmsad on the service at points where it is ai- ready heaviest, or in otber words edd to the pesk of the load.The best service rendered by a street car system is, mot to save steps for people who for short distances had perbaps better walk, but to enable the population to spread out into the surrounding country.To this end cheap long distases fares are of greater besefit than cheap service at already congested points, Our system is probably as weil managed se sny in the world, and se compared with other North American cities with fewer disadvantages.The rates charged here are very low, Still the enterprise is enormously profitable to those who carry it on, and the people have obviously a far grestee equity im the franchise than has ever been acknowledged.Either the city should get a much greater share of the returns, or, what would add more to the usefulness of the service, the people should get cheaper fares.\u2014_\u2014 SPECULATION.The people of Alexandria and Caro have had their little flutter in real oo tate speculation, and are now said to be paying the penalty of their rashness, by adverse stock quotations and extreme money conditions, such as are being experienced in the more modern centres of Europe «nd America.As in most other countries, there has been \u2018phenomenal prosperity\u2019 during the past two years 10 Egypt, amd the people have mo doubt looked upon surplus earnings and profits as more or less assured for am indetinite period.Little attention has theretore beem given to the inflated prices of real estate, until money became locked up io fixed capital throughout the world anc the last buyers of resl estate lote could find no purchasers, speculative or other.Enforced liqudation of real estate inevitably follows, and the price tumbles to a level far below even the intrinmec value of the holdings.That is the ené of all speculative movements, but it will bave more lasting effects upon a coum- try such as Egypt that is not importing fresh capital and new blood than in = country with the powers of recuperation deed, very probable, that the buying power of even a young country like Can- ads may become restrained by over-intia- tion, and while this may not apply to the industrial securities of the country, at the present time, it certainly threatens the land situation in the western cities of tecemt growth.It bas been said that the present momey stringency is in large part due to the land speculas tion in the west, and the banks heve been blamed in some quarters for allowing such speculation.It bas even been suggested that they have loened money on account of real estate, but thie is not worthy of a moment's consideration, although, it must be admitted, the banks may be indirectly to blame for the high values prevailing in most of the prane towns.When speculation resches such a pitch a3 to make it the subject of eommom remark, as was the case as Tate as eighteen months ago, it is clearly the duty of tbe banks to close tightly down upon their credits and to enforce a stricter tule in regard to remittances and collections.This would be one way of checking unwiss apeculstion im real estate, and, iu fact, in stocks and in the grain oplion markets.A large propertion of any kind of speculation is carried on by business men, who, presumably, are con- \u2018ducting their ordiaary oocupations through the medium of the banks.Ae their apeculative tastes develop, their discounts are extended, under one pes and another, until the whole business situation is involved in difficulties from which it may take years to recover.Dut- ing the extreme conditions of recent ceipte im Glasgow amounted to 94.437,80, Lanonthe, there has, no doubt, been more compared with $3,100,480 in Monte 4), and the operating expenses to 54.67 per- comt of the earnings compared with 2.09 peresut.Not oaly did Glasgow carry ler citizens at less than balf the average ruto attention paid by \u2018he banks to the accounts of the real estate gamblers and

with a man whose character was moulded and thereby strengthened by force of circum- slances willingly accepted as the cor- ollsry of his station in life.and who, urged by a sense of duty, turned from

strengthening of my char acter.Upon this latter object my efforts must now be concentrated.\u201d This frank recognition of hie limitations was @ first step towards fitting himself for the career ho asw before him.Studies of Gottingen and Boon made him more or less familiar with the Institutes and the Pandects; philosophy and logis received some attention.To \u2018Werther and the poets he fled in intervals of freedom.Journeys in France and Switzerland during holidays widened his knowledge of the world and of men.In Paris he applied himself to the study of French and haunted the boulevards and opers houses.\u2018Now that I bave attained some fluency,\u201d he writes, \u2018I become more and more convinced thut French ie the one Janguage for conversation.One can talk the whole evening without saying anything\u201d In 183 he is st Heidelberg, aud hard at work, studying from five to ten in the morning, attending lectures the rest of the day, and getting recreation only in the

det.imite object in life.Onward, therefore!\u2019 In 1844 came his first appointment in the public service, a post in the Administration Department of the Potadam Government.The next year he was elected to the Landtag, the Silesian Provincial Diet, and came into the S-hillmgsfurst succession and estate, From this time hu master-thought was the consolidation of thy German nations.His entry into the Bavarian Upper House, in 1846, first brought him te a reslization of the ne cessity of freedom of thought and, action, and definitenese of political principle.The Ultramontanes, prominent among whom were the Jesuits, he now deserted.Their tactics were directed against consolidation, in that their sim was to secure religious unity, whether political umity went by the board or litical

existence of states\u2019; progress as sure ly leads to revolution, if obetructed.Reforme in pertievier states, be argued, were useless; all Germany must be Te formed.\u2018No one will deny,\u2019 he

Democrats, partly because he hated the bigotry and parrow-mindedness of the aristocracy, to which he belonged.When, in 1881, he laid before the Reicherath à recommendation for the enframchisement of the Jews of Bavaria, the Upper House objected that the granting of equality to the Jew would detrect from the position of Bavaria as a Christian state, which would become instead a state \u2018based

whole trend of ite historical evolution, can refuse to give legal and political equality to Jew and Christian alike\u201d The doctrine of the papal infallibility, which began to be seriously mooted about 1889, he regarded a fraught with infinite danger, Fearing that the movement originated with « section of the Church that was anxious to emphasize the strained relations of church and state, and so force the state into eubmission, or into complete separation in the assertion of its rights and dignity, be saw a recrudescence of that old struggle of the Jesuits against modern civilization.In matters of edocation, he based himself firmly on tbe constitutional right of the state to control the education of ita citizens, and would entrust that training to the church only when the views of church and state could be brought into harmony, and not while there wsa any divergence between the papal encyclicals (which reckoned religious toleration as a heresy), and the rights of the Bavarian constitution.To the decision of every question, whether of civil marriage, or education, the preparation of the Civil Code, war, armies, fleets, or commerce, the Priuce brought good genase and breadth

similar characteristics.* If it were ao, then the into a very simple one; the discovery of à single successful one would end our labors.As it is, a great many of these remedial compounds are required in plant economy, the absolute number needed depending entirely upon the different ways in which insects and fungous diseases a*- tack their fi or host plants.This results largely from differences in anatomical and] physiological structure of these little but often highly destructive anl- mals and plants.Practically all insects can be divided into two leading groups: (a) those which actually chew and swallow their food and have what the entomologist calls biting mouth parte, and those which obtain them their food by piercing the outer tissues of the plant and sucking up the juice, called insects with sucking mouth parts: The first group of insects, among which we find grasshoppers, cucumber beetles, codling moth larvae, currant worm, and ns & great many others, can be poisoned by covering the surface of the plant upon which they feed with some poisonous material; while the second group, since they do not eat the surface of the plant but feed only on the inde juioss, must be d means of some substance which act upon their bodies, as caustio washes, or something whi¢h will act upon their breathing : Fores, smothering them, such as a gas.This, , divides insecticides into two groups: food poisons and contact insecticides.There are some insects, however, owing to their peculiar habits, in- æccessibility, or other causes, which require special treatment, such as the cut worms, which work underground, and the graim weevils, which affect stored products; the ones which feed inside the rk or within the stem of the tree or plant, such as the apple tree borer or the raspberry eane borer; the household pests; and the animal parasites.A fungus is a plant which feeds other plants, and is thus o parasite.It begins with a seed (spore) which germd- nates and produces a great number of small thresd-like structures which correspond to the roots, stem, and leaves of an ordinary plant, and called the my- celium.Sometimes this mycelium develops wholly upon the surface of the plant or fruit, as with the powdery mildew of the grape; while at other times the germ tube of the spore etrates \" the skin and produces ite mycelium within the tissues, just as happens in the case of the grain rusts and smuts, downy mildew, and a great many others.Fungi, then, can be clamed as external and internal, and the method of deali with them varies accordingly.Those of way,

next year than to pat the ewes on good feed, and so supply the lambe with plenty of milk of the Dest quality.To feed the ewes well, when nursing the lambs, adds fully & month to their growth; and thus puts them forward for a repetition of the same advance the year following.What is thus gained is worth twice as much as any gain afterwards, © one who has not tried this constant Pushing on of the lambs will be dissp- pointed with the rewuits.It easily ad: a dollar to the value of each Jamh, and this is, of itself, a very considerable bo- nts on the year's income from a flock.Some farmers

horse-owners throughout the Province of Quebec in particu- Jar, will hear with much satisfaction that f the Department of Agriculture, at Ottawa, has taken over the records of the French Canadian Breeders\u2019 Association, thereby recognising the French Canadisu horse as & national breed.The Minister of Agriculture hinuelf is showing great zeal 1a the work and has laid out a very thorough plan for improving this staunch species that found its way into this country in 1665, when Colbert, Minister to Louis XIV., sent out to New France « consignment of horses, which afterward formed the foundation stock of the present French Canadian horse.This action om the part of the Govern ment is (says the \u2018Farming World\u2019) certainly a boon to farmers, and it is a foregone conclusion that the latter will do au in their poner to amist in the work of improving the present stock of horseflesh.The ian cob will then me into his own; his sterling qualities will be intensified, and the breed will soon be regarded by Canadisns with the mme pride as the Hackney is by the Englishman, and the standard bred trotter by the Americans.Five inspectors, among whom are Robert Ness, of Howick, and Dr.J.A.Coutere, of Quebec city, have been appointed to ise the work of re-regis- tration of all animals, the nerses of which [ heretofors by the French Canadian Ml Breeders\u2019 Association, and to admit or reject all new applications, according as they do or do not present all the characteristics of the old breed.So far some {twenty counties out of the seventy-four in the Province have been visited, and in these upwards of 375 horses (338 mares and 40 stallions) have been accepted.The prospects, therefore, of placing this horse upon a firm footing with other recognized breeds is indeed very encouraging.It may be sid without exaggeration that there is probably no breed of horses living that combines so many useful and attractive qualities as does the French Canadisn\u2014in s word, he is the all- round horse \u2018par excellence.\u201d From bis conformation, substance, quality, action end gait, he is well fitted to every class of work on the farm or in the city.As s worker he has shown himeelf superior to many of those of the heavier breeds; in the plow or in the hay cart he is quite at home.The loads he is capable of hauling are simply marvellous, considering that his weight is, as a rule, well under 1,200 pounds.As a roadatem his endurance is shown by journeys of 50 to 60 miles per day, after which he will turn out the morning following, eager to cover a Îike dis tance.Under saddle he is a good per former, and takes readily to this class of work.Another direction in which be aspires is the show ring, for he is a high actor, with plenty of speed and

from alcohol.Since this discovery | the alcohol engive is assuming large importance.In a recent farmers\u2019 bulletin, issued by the United States department of agriculture, a number of interesting facts concerning alcohol and gasoline tarm engines are presented.Much of the bulletin is taken up with the his tory and development of these engines, but the authors of the bulletin have given valuable pointers to those who contemplate buying, or who now own an engine of this type.They call attention to the fact that the efficiency of the gleohol engine may be assumed at this time to be unknown.but as alcohol can be burned in an engine designed for gasoline, it is remson- able to assume that such sn engine may have the same capacity as a gasoline engine.They demonstrated by figures that the cost of operating an alcohol engine is Jess than operating a gasoline engine.As very few experiences were obtained in the United States, based on the use of alcohol engines, the bulletin calls attention to the use of the alcohol engine in Germany.It eeems that Professor Strecker, of Leipsic, sent a circular letter to 120 farmers who were using gasoline engines.These engines ranged in aise from six to twenty-five horse-power and were working more or less throughout the year, the maximum number of hours being 2,500 and minimum 324.This question concerned the amount of work these engines were capable of doing, compared with the steam engines, which they bad replaced.Forty-six percent thought them equal and 47 percent thought them superior, while only four peroent considered them inferior.The 4 petcent qualified their statement by esy- ing that the eteam engine must be fired with great larity, if it be superior to the alcohol.The next question was as to.the expense, The steam engine averaging ten horsepower and operating 1,000 hours per year, cost for fuel $240.The alcohol en- fine operating for the same number of urs would coat $253 for fuel.Thus, it appears that in these German experiments the cost of operating an alcohol engine was greater than a steam engine, in spite of the superiority of the alcohol engine.A majority of the farmers found it cost less to maintain en alcohol engine.Further than that, it was demonstrated that the alcoho! engine was capable of ing in all kinds of weather, It leo found that there war no diffi- in instructing \u2018he

can A making alfalfa bay that applies te mak: gen also find that an engine designed for gasoline or kerosene cam, without any material alterations, be adapted to alcohol and give about ten percent more power than when operated with gasoline of kerosene.This increase is, however, at the expense of a greater consumption of fuel.By slightly altering the engine this power can be increased from 10 to 20 pereent.They further find that the storage of aleohol is much less dangerous than that of gasoline, as well as being decidedly more pleasant.The exhaust from an alcohol engine is less likely to be offensive than the exhaust from a gasoline or kerosene engine.It requires no greater skill to operate an alcohol engine than one intended for gasoline or kero- e.In localities where there is a supply of cheap, raw material for the manufacture of denatured alcohol, and which are, at the same time, remote from the source of supply of gasoline, alcohol may immediately compete with gasoline as a fuel for engines.II, as time goes on, kerosene and its distillates becomes scarcer and dearer, the alcohd]l engine will become a stronger competitor and possibly may in time entirely supplant the kerosene and gasoline engines.It will be seen, therefore, that the authors of this bulletin beli that al- echol can be used in any engine used for gavoline or kerosene; that the alcohol is some cheaper; that it is more effective; and that in time, as line and kerosene become higher, aleo will be come cheaper aud, therefore, will be the more economical.ANIMALS HEAL THEMSELVES ODD WAYS IN

their red bodies, gilded sides and painted sails shining glonous ly in the evening sun.Every instant a fresh golden spot grew out of the fog, which blazed like a star for an instant, and then surged

pot on those that the eyes of the men of the \u2018Basilisk\u2019 were chiefly bent.A greater sight lay before them\u2014a sight which brought them clustering to the forecastle with eager eyes and pointing fingers.The Englwh fleet was coming forth from the Winchelsea coast.Already before the fog lifted a fast eases had brought the news down annel that the Spanish were on the sea, and the King's

Spanish, like the gallant foes they have ever been, turned their heads to meet them.With flaunting banners and painted sails, blaring trumpets and clashing cymbals, the two glittering fleets, dipping and rising on the long Channel swell, drew slowly together., King Edward had been ofl day in his great ship the PhiFpna = mile out from the Camber Sands, waiting for the coming of the Spaniards.huge

the substitution obviously being useless um- less it leads to the identification.The whole object of Christianity is to make men and women like Christ, like Him in character snd person, and the whole pus- poss of the redemptive process is to carry that out in the individual heart of him who believes.The exhortation which is made by the New Theology, * Be yourself a Christ,\u2019 is an ennoblng exhortation, always provided that you do not fall into the pitiful delusion of thinking you are & Christ.But firmly bol the truth that through Christ you are to becomes like Him.; ; 3.Thep there is a third truth which will need invisting upon.We are thankful it is here brought out into clearness.If we are told that sedishness and sin are identical we must demur.Bin is something more than selfishness.There is a great des] of sin which ia not sel fishness in the common acceptation of the word at all.Many siuners labor and weary themselves in the greatness of their way.They sre much more self-de- nying than many saints.For example, a great persecutor like Philip Il.was a consummate sinner, but no one could charge him with selfishness.He ecorn- ed delights and lived laborious ; he faced obloquy and shsme in order to murder his fellow Christians who would not sf with him.1 never see an atheistic propagandist or bear him bar snguing in the ks without admiring his obvious unselfishness; there is nothing selfich in it; he gets motbing for it, he gains nothing by it.He is trying with all his might to pluck down cut of heaven, to rob his fellow men of the faith and hope by which they live; he heaps ridicule upon Christ; he scorns the tender realities of religious life, he brings upon himself the opposition and the contempt of all right-thi people: and yet does all this, commit what may in the long run the worst sin that human hearts can commit, in the most unselfish spirit, save men from God, just as others to save men by bringing them to .We must not, therefore, fall into the obvious fallacy of thinking that selfishness and sin are the same.ere is much sin which is pot selfishness; but on the other band, we cannot too earnestly.insist upon the fact thas selfishness ie sin, and the insistemce on that fact at the pre sent time.would be wholesome i ive our aod ly mighty whole of THE A B C OF THE : bre à ve anence God iE;

Aa you walk along a country lane you may often see a little animal with a very long body and very short log i aorom the road a few yards in front of you.It is bright reddish brown in color on its head and back and sides, and pure white underneath, and from the tip of its nose to the end of ite atumpy little tail it je ebout ten inches in length.This animal is a weasel, and I should like to tell you, first of all, wh ite body is so long and slender while its legs are so short.The reason is that it is a creature of prey, and that very often i has to fallow its victims along narrow, windi burrows, Now, if it had a stout y and long legs it would not be able to do this.And so the weasel, which Ime a body not much stouter than that of a small snake, and short little legs, indeed, can wind ie way along the burrow of a rat or a mole, end spring upon the animal at the end.Wensels destroy à grat many rats in this way, and mice, , although, of course, they cannot follow thess into their holes; so that, although they are the enemies of the gamekeeper because they are =o fond of young hares and pr tridges, they are very good friends to the farmer.But sometimes they do & great deal of mischief even in the farmyard; for if a weasel can find bis way Into the henhouses he will also do so, snd will kill perhaps lmlf a dozen fowls one after the other.You may sometimes see him trotting along by the side of a dee \".too, and every now and thn ing for a moment or two and prer- ing eagerly into the thick herbage that grows at the bottom.Then you may de quite sure that he is looking for birds\u2019 nests, And if be finds one with egm in it, he will take them out and suc them one after the other, while if ther: are wnfl birds he will either ent them at once or cs them off to his hungry little ones at home.But a weasel does not always succeed in finding « nest.even when he is quite close to 1t;
