talk of Nationalist jingoes, who.with their imperialistic allies, had attacked him.The Peal cause was that both parties agreed upon one point, that Laurier must be destroyed.He had taken the same attitude in 1911 as he had in 1907, tn 1902, and in 1897, the protectton of his countrymen's rights as British sub- fects and Canadians\u2014the policy that each country shall govern itself according to the opinion of that country.In regard to the treaty question, he said that to the honor of the Asquith Government the present state of affairs would soon be remedied.The second conference had unanimoushy adopted the project of creating a committee in which all the governments of the Empire would be represented, with the object of studying commercial relations and how they may be ameliorated.Bir Wiitrid said he had returned to Canada to complete his interrupted work.The question of reciprocity was not new.It had been started B50 years ago.Canadians had faith !n commercial liberty as well as in sll liberty.SIG RECEPTION IN OTTAWA Ottawa, July 190.\u2014At à meeting held this morning, the Ottawa Reform Club decided to give Bir Wilfrid Laur- fer a welcome when he arrives

the existence of the Orange order in Cumada was deciared by the Rev.W.H.Hincks, of the Broadway Methodist Tabernacle, yesterday morning.It was in answer to the topical question: \u2018Should the Orange order exist In Canada?In his premises the doc- | tor showed that man's supreme duty to man was unification, that the very existence of the Dominion depended on unity.Hence the existence of any arganisation or institution was eniy desirable in so far as jt centri=- buted to the unity of the pople snd the Dominion.After a year's study of Romanism in Canada, he had come to the unhappy conclusion that it was the most disintegrating and separating force in Canada.A united Canada demanded the separation of church and state.There must be no state interference with crsed; there must be no state favoritism to any one cteed.The union of the church and state in Quebec had been revesi- ed to them ail by the inlquitous marriage laws of that province, Not only that immors]l marriage law had to go.but the union of the church and state in Quebec must go.They could not have a confederation for the rest of Canada with the church and state united in Quebec.It was this union of church and state that had driven the Protestant farmers out of the East- rn Ontario townships.Again a united \u201canada demanded special privileges to no creed.A most outrageous violation of this principle obtained In Quebec.In Quebec city the Roman Church owned the third of rea) estate of that city.It should be the largest taxpayer, but it pald nn taxes becauss it was a pet of the state.In Montreal ninety percent of the wealth was Protestant.Most of the taxes were given by Protestants.Buch taxes should go to the public schools, but they went chiefly to confessional schools, Over $1,000,000 a year of money paid as taxes by Protestants in Montreal went to confessional schools.The most dangerous factor working for the breaking up of a united Canada was the confessional school.These schools deliberately taught even the primary classes that the difference between themselves and all other children of all the other churches In Canada was the difference between heaven and hell, While such bigoted teaching as that was legalised in Canada by state law, and while Montreal merchants were ready to pay for that stuff against their own children and against the unity of this Dominion the Canadian confedreation would be a rope of sand.\u2018And sooner or later,\u2019 declared the doctor, \u2018sll separate schools must be closed both in Ontario and Quebec.\u2019 In conclusion.the doctor spoke of the need of a federal marriage law, and of an unfettered press, and justified the existence of the Orange order so long as there ware the present grievances inimical to the unif- cation of Canada to resist.and, if possible, correct.\u2019 pe TORONTO ORANGEMEN.Thres Thousand Join in Cherch Parade.Toronto, July 10.\u2014Qver 3,000 strong.the Orangemen of Toronto, led by the Orange Young Britons, marched to St.James Cathedral yesterday afternoon to attend the anniversary church service.The annual ssrmon wes preached by the Rev.Canon Hom, deputy grand chaplain, rector

The of Montreal had » warm éay of it Bunday on the occasion of their annual parade and chureh service, the latter being ooa- ducted in the Btaniey Street Presby- teria Church in the afternoon.The thermo?eter was standing at 9 degrees when the Orangemen assemhied at the Orange \u2018all on St.Catherine street, and despite the intense heat there was à huge assemblage, over 000 taking part in the affair.each one wearing the regails as wall as floral favore.while huntreés of the women folk, who gathered to watch the pro- .Mibtery of Eganville has ocesion, wore orange-Qolared emblems.The parade was directed by No.3 District Lodge.with District Master John Orr as chief marshal.The procession headed eastwards, but turned down St.Phillips Square, traversing the three sides and passed along Cathcart street, University street and - ter street to Btanley Street Presbyter- fan andre, where the service was to FIRE SWEEPS EGANVILLE Existence of Ontario Village Was Threatamed Sanday Eganville, Ont, July 10\u2014Not in the Such a fire as that which started hers at 130 yesterday.The Bonnechere river divides the town into two equal parts.north and south, over haif of the north side now being in ashes, while on the south side an immense amount of damage is done.The loss will amount to between 55,000 and $100,000.The fire originated in the sheds of Mr M and, as there ta no protection here except a bucket brigade, the fire soon spread before a Strong west wind which was biowing.The Pembroke and Renfrew fire bri.æade were called upon for help.There was a delay in Pembroke, as the station agent had to get orders from headquarters.In Renfrew the delay was caused by the engine having ti get up steam.The fire brigades, owever, came as quickly as possible, the Pembroke One by the Grand Trunk, and the Renfrew one by the Canadian Pacific.The northwestern part of the town.was saved after a great deal of fight- Ing on the part of the Pembroke fire brigade.The Renfrew brigade did heroic work as well, saving many Tesidences.The buildings destroyed were: The grist mill, the woollen mill, Ottawa Hotel, Presbyterian church, Methodist church, English church, public school, the new High School.which was under construction, and twenty-five fine residences and business bincks.The two newspaper offices were burned, as well as o sash and door factory and a sawmill.Only for the river the whele town would have besn swept off the map.CIRAGETTES RESPONSIBLE.Lu Ottawa, July 10.\u2014Fuller reports from Eganville Ont, where yesterday's disastrous fire occurred, place the damage at fully $300,000, less than half covered by Insurance.Two-thirds of the business section is gone.Esan- ville ia a place of 1,200 people in the centre of a wealthy district, and containing as it did many large menu- facturing establishments, the blow ie a disastrous one.though officials stated to-day that practically everything would be rebuilt with all possible speed.The fire originated from cigarettes which à party of four boys were emok- ing.Had it not been for the assistance sent by the Renfrew and Fem- broke brigades the entire town would bave been burned.No lives were lost BRITISH BY-ELECTIONS.\u2014 Two Liberals Returned\u2014 One in London, the Other in Glasgow.London, July 7.\u2014The by-election tn the Tradeston division of Glasgow yesterday resulted in the return of Mr.White, the Literal candidate.by a majority of 1,088 over Mr, Watts, Unionist.The total votes polled was: White, 1.069.Watts, 2.783.The election was rendered necessary by the Coronation honors conferred upon Mr.A.Cameron Corbett, the former libers) member.London, July 10.\u2014Maurice Arnold Deforest, hereditary baron of the Aus: trian Empire, and authorized te ue his title In the United Kingdom, a Liberal, was slected to the House of Commons on Saturday for the North Division of West Ham.Charles FOG.Mastermen, Under Becretary of State In the Home who was returned for this division in the general elections, was deprived of hs seat on fine Le So Ta ot that his bd t practices on the of his agent.The vote was: \u201c007;

it was bulit with the citizens\u2019 money, and I am to-day acting as their mouthpiece.We are therefore at home here and you will have to listen to us.And Canon Roy remained.The gathering was the outcome of two official communications read from the pulpit at high mass yesterday morning by Canon Roy, in which it was made plain that Archbishop Bruchest could not tolerate any longer in his diocese the religious community In question, and also signifying the intention of the archbishop fo supplant this college by a regular institution, siving a combined classical and commerc! course.The announcement was met with dissatisfaction by those who are in sympathy with the so-called irregular order in charge of the college of St.Marie de Monnoir.As Canon Roy declared he was ready to hear anyone having an opinion to express on the matter, a meeting was called at the parsonage in the afternoon, upon the invitation of Judge Monet, who acted as spokesman for the citizens as weil as for the assailed community.THREATENED WITH CONTEMPT OF COURT.The place was crowded Judge Monet first observed that people hed not gathered to discuss the conflict of authority between the college priests on the one hand and Archbishop Bru- chesi and Bishop Bernard on the other: but he wanted to point out that the college had already runiling two years in St.Johns.Mgr.Sbaretti, the apostolic delegate, had decreed that the order must leave St.Johns and return to St.Hyacinthe on the pain of having their temporalties forfeited to the coffers of Monsigneur .The judge then went on to explain how Mr.Edwards.a creditor of the religious community, had instituted quo warran- to proceedings againat them to prevent the order from conforming with this decree, because such was prejudicial to his rights and interests.The quo warranto had been temporarily granted by Mr.Justice Lafontaine, with the result that the assalied priests were bound to observe the statu quo and keep on teaching in St.Johns.so as to safeguard the rights of their creditors.Judge Monet explained that any attempt on the part of the order te conform with the Bbarett! decres if the teeth of Mr.Lafontaine's decision would expose them to coercive imprisonment for contempt of court.so it happened that the unfortunate priests had to face a serious dilemma arising (rom the conflict of judicial and ecclesiastical authority.\u201cWe cannot understand what the cause .of religion can lose by our asking Mgr.Bruchest toe withhold this bolt so long as the quo warranto has not been definitely settled.We don't ask His Grace to give up any disciplinary authority he has.but merely to grant a respite till the lawsuit has been finally adjudicated upon., ESTABLIBHMENT OF SECOND COLLEGE.\u201cWe have already held here in St.Johns that priests, as well as laymens must obey the law.When you inform us that the Archbishopric offers us & college side by side with the one ai- ready in existence.especially when such has been denied us for ten years, you cannot have any other notion than to s\u2018arve out the one In existence and to attempt to put into effect.in a roundabout way, the Sbharettl decree.We contend that such constitutes à contempt of our civil law and we cannot let it go by without a word of protest Canon Roy explained that excommunication was no longer threatened, but that Archbishop Bruchesi couid build a college in St.Johns if he pleased, inasmuch as he was not asking anyone to pay for it.Judge Monet replied he was satisfied to learn that neither the order itself nor the heads of families their children to the college would 1n- cur excommunication.and that if Archbishop Bruches! wanted absolutely to open another college in Bt.Johns whem the people wished to retain the one already in existence, he was at liberty to do so, of course, but the judge remarked that if both colleges opened at the same time In September next, one would be full and the other empty.Further exchange of opinions passed between the judge and Canon Roy, after which Judge Monet's remarks were supported by Mesers.Jon.Demers, M.P.for Bt.Johns and Therville: L A.Gosselin, advocate.and president of the Cte de Publication de Canada Francais;

another gale like Sunday to continue the work of destruction begun on that eventiul day Large columns of smoke vais be seen come ing from the distant townships indicating that the fre area is widening.News reached Forcupine yesterday that the fire had swept through Bristol Township, where some very rich finds have recently been made.A host of prospectors are in Bristol and gave anxiety is felt for their safety.All day Monday and yesterday weary and scorched prospectors straggled into the northern settlements with sorry tales of camps which had to be atundoned to the hungry flames with all the equipment and supplies, while the occupants were forced to fiy for safety, many having to take to the water for refuge from Intense heat and fiylng embers.Fortunately the north country is well supplied with lakes and rivers, which will prove the salvation of many prospectors.Captatn Anchor of the Dome Extension, was nearly blinded by smoke and cinders, and tells a graphic story of the flerce fight to save the plant and lives of the employees.When it was seen that the fight was almost Ropeiess.Captain Anchor taid the men they could go or stay as suited, but most of the employees stuck to film and fought stubbornly as long as a drop of water remained for the buckets.At last.almost dead with exhaustion.suffocated with smoke, and blistered with heat, the command was given for each man to take a pall of water to keep his clothing from taking fire.Ouiy one building was left standing, and that the powder house, and here Captain Anchor and his men made their last stand for sheiter from the flying cinders and blistering heat, and, seated on boxes of dynamite and powder, with the door closed tn keep out the sparks from the blasing inferno outside.the men rested amid the roar of flaines and the crashing of falling timber, as the monarchs of the forest burned through and fell to the ground.A twist of the wind took the flames in another direction, and the red death passed.At McDougall townsite the flames swept down on & sawmill and small settlement on the lake shore, and licked evervthing up.The em- pores and their families, hemmed in the flames.gathered on the lake shore to await a rescue hy boats.Gasoline launches came to the rescue to as many as the craft would hold safely, but before a second trip could be made those left behind were forc- od to wade in the water up to their necks to get away from the intense heat.All were finally taken away safely.WATER POWER RIGHTS Ontario Will Endeavor to Secure Control From Federal Government Toronto, July

business of the city was brought to a standstill.The electric cars were stopped, the factories were devold of power, and the storm raged with a power which carried oft roofs, broke down trees, to the number of hundreds, and caused the greatest exclip- ment.The craft on the river had an ex- elting time, and the passenger boats which were caught in the storm were scenes of panic, and it was only through the action of some of the cool-headed peopls on board that no diraster occurred.Two lives were lost as the result of the storm.The victims were a mother and her two-year-old child, who

was concluded In the House of Lords last night.Although numerons amendments and new clauses seeking to modify its provisions were proposed by independent members, these were all withdrawn or rejected.The debate throughout displayed great restiveness on the part of the peers against their leaders, and there were significant differences of opinion.Lord St.Aldwyn, who, as Michael Edward Hicks-Beach, was chancellor of the exchequer in 1835 and again in 1895-1902, the financial authority on the Conservative side, more than once declined to vote with his party.After clause two of the Parliament Bill, relating to hills other than money bills, was passed, the debate proceeded on the new clause moved by Lord Cromer, providing for the appointment of a joint committee of the two houszea to determine the character of bills and to decide whether they come within the veto provisions of the Par- lament Rill, which differentiates between general legisiation and money bills, leaving it to the Speaker of the House of Commons alone to determine what constitutes the latter, and requiring the House of Lords to pass it without amendment within one month after receiving the bill; otherwise It shall become law without the Lords\" consent.Lord Cromer and his fellow Unionist peers profess to fear that a money bill may pass ths House of Commons with general legislation tacked on, and they declare that it is not a sufficient safeguard to leave the settlement of the question to the Speaker.Loré Cromer said when he previous.ty proposed the appointment of à joint committee of fifteen it wan merely for the purpose of bringing about a discussion, He was now willing to accept Lord Bt.Aldwyn\u2019s amendment providing for a joint committee of six.Lord Morley of Blackburn said that he could not understand how members who had voted on a measure could be expected to consider !t impartially afterwards.This clause, ne declared, would destroy the entire structure of the Parliament Bill and involve tha Incomplete betrayal of its objects.Therefore, the government would not conrent to Ît.After several peers had spoken in sipport of the new clause it was adopted and added to the dill.\u2018The report stage has been fixed for July JL and when the DI goes back to the House of Commons le le certain thet these new clauses and amendments be rejected en bloc.What

to-day.The Unionist newspup- ers at the eleventh hour recognise that the King has no alternative but to creute sufficient peers to carry the veto bill if the Premier ms recommends, and muy, thorefcre, that the House of Lords will commit political suleide if it compels the Government to take that course.Hence, with a view to saving the lords\u2019 face, they puint to the fact thal Viscount Morley in

the French expedition to Fez, and that a demonstration Tras necessary to make the Frenchmen talk business.Baron Von Kiderlen- Waechter, the German secretary state for foreign affairs, has returned to

Powers All Sent Ships Tn splendid weather the review of the Fleet at Spithead by the King took place on Saturday.June 24.The 187 British men-of-war, together with Tepresentative vessels of foreign Pow.ors.made a grand spectacle.The King's pleasure at the unqualified success of the review and the fine appearance presented by the Fleet found expression in the following message which His Majesty caused to be siy- nalled to the warships: \u2014 \u20181 wish to express the gratification with which T have reviewed the Fleet to-day, and my highest appreciation of the admirable appearance of the ships and the marked precision of the lines.On his return to Portsmouth Harbor, the King gave a dinner party on the Royal yacht to various British and foreign aval officers.On Baturday evening t King and Queen viewed the illumination of the Fiest from the top of the semaphore tower in the dockyard.Their Majesties spent the following day.which was a rainy day.quietly on the \u2018Victoria and Albert.and after divine service the King held & reception of naval and military ver- erans on the jetty, shaking hands with each.and inquiring as to their services and their medals.Finally he addressed them, expressing his pleasure at seeing so many old sailors and sold- fers.and concluded: \u2018I trust that you will be spared for many years to en- y your well-earned pension and rest.-bye\u2018 The old men gave three hearty cheers.TBE REVIEW DESCRIBED (From the Special Correspondent of the London \u2018Standard.\u2018) In London, on Saturday morning.we left grey und weeping skies be- Aind, to find King's weather at South- ampton.As the good ship \u2018Boudan\u2019 sometime P.and O.!tner, and now transport in His Majesty's service, steamed down Southampton water the lovely Hampshire country on either side and the gentle, wooded slopes of the Isie of Wight lay bathed in warm sunshine.A breeze which increased in strength as the day wore on set the velvet-green foliage of the trees a- shimmer and just ruffied the surface of the sea.It was a perfect summer day, and the glory and the beauty of the great naval spectacle we had come 1c witness wal enhanced thereby.That, at least, was the opinion of the multitude of people who came from all over England, from many parts of Europe.and even from across the Atlantic, to see the review.But weather, after all.is but à secondary consideration when the review of naval force is in question.Nowadays we do fot dress up our ships for ceremonial occasions as we do our soldiers.to æparkie and glow in the sunlight and catch the public eye.On the contrary, we clothe them in the most sombre garh, bereft of all color and ornament, intended to be inconspicuous.\u2018There are many people who are of opinion that the modern warship is seen at her best only in dirty water, when the skies lower and the spind- 2ift flies shrieking from the lash of the Blast; when the grey hull wallows in the trough of s grey sea, returning Buffet for buffet manfully, and keeping doggedly her course.Then the bare and formless hulk of steel becomes a thing of strenuous life, and acquires à beauty that touches the ajestic and sublime.I shut my eyes and try to construct the picture that would be presented If those mighty ships, instead of lying calmly at an- ehor on the placid bosom of the 8o- lent, were threshing their way through & storm in the North Sea to ment a foe; clearing for action, with ths bimck smoke sliding backwards from the funnels, with the trembling meedles of the gauges showing full heads of steam, with every man at his station, waiting.every sense alert.every nerve strained, to do his duty in that supreme moment of the shock of battle for which by years of careful training he had been prepared.Scene of Majesty.Wo imagination, however fertile.can conjure up all the awful majesty of such a scene, and no mortal man will ever witness it in its entirety when ft comes to be played.In the reek and elagh of the conflict even the actors in Mt will be but vaguely conscious of the parts they play.But if it is not siven to us landsmen to see the fleet sotuslly at the work for which it has been made, we may well content ourselves with the spectacle that it can efter to us in peace time\u2014such as it did offer to us on Saturday when drawn up In the Solent for inspection by our sailor

the blood-red Ottoman ensign, with the star and crescent In white: the Austrian naval flag.very much like that of Spain; the German equivalent to our, white ensign: the Grrek flag, inordidately

SCOUTS OF THE EMPIRE Amy of 35,000 Were Reviewed by Their Majesties sin Windsor Park Windsor, July 3.\u2014The King, accompanied by the Queen, and surrounded by a brilliant staff of distinguished officers of the navy, and with other members of the royal family, reviewed in Windsor Great Park to-day an army of 25,000 Boy Scouts, çathered from all parts of the United Kingdom and from sume of the colonies.The \u2018veather was beautiful.Drawn up in & huge semi-circle in front of the royal enclosure, the boys dressed in the universally adopted Scouts\u2019 uniform of blue, khak! or grey, with flat-brimmed khaki hats and brilliant neckerchiefs of various hues.formed a picturesque parade.They were formed in eight divisions, the place of honor being occupled by 2,000\" King's Scouts, who were selected from the various troups as the most efficient, and made a guard of honor for the King.Just behind these were posted 120 lite savers, all of whom have been decorated for life saving.As His Majesty came on to the parade ground the band of one of the Guards Regiments struck up the National Anthem, and the Scouts stood at the salute with their staves, while they sang in chorus \u2018God Save the King.Then the King rode slong the lines closely inspecting the boys.Lieutenant-General Bir Robert Ba- den-Powell, the chief scout, was in command, and at his order the patrols of the selected King's acouts gave an exhibition of fire-lighting and ambulance work.After this, when the King had taken up ais position 0; site the centre of the semi-eircle, was a wild scene as the entire army of boys at the sound of the \u2018Soout\u2019s call\u2019 charged at full speed towards him, each of the patrols shouting its own peculiar call as ft advanced Then the \u2018Alert\u2019 \u2018sounded, and like clock work they all stood willl and silent for a few moments to enable them to recover their breath, after whion they sang in wonderful unison two of thelr most popular scouts\u2019 choruses.The King then expressed his gratification at the success of the move~ ment to its originator, Genera! Ba- den-Powell, who called for thres cheers for His Majesty, which were given with great spirit, followed by the singing of the National Anthem, which brought the ceremony to a close.Thousands of the boys had travelled through the night in order to be present, and after a short rest will start for home again this evening.Many of the others had camped out in the park, for which purposs they had brought their own tents with them.On this ocoasion the War Office offi- olally recognised the movement by sending two superior officers of the general staff to superintend the day's ceremony.Some of the most distinguished officers of the army and navy also attended to assist the chief scout.among them being Admiral Lord Charies Beresford, who is & leading romoter of the sea scout movement; neral Sir Herbert Plummer and Col.H.8.Brownriss.GUESTS OF GLASGOW.tinguished Visitors.Glasgow, July 6.\u2014 Lord Kitohener, Sir Joseph Ward, Premier of New Zealand.Mr.Andrew Fisher, Premier of the Australian Commonwealth, and General Louis Botha, Premier of the Bouth African Union.recélved the freedom of the city to-day.Lord Kitchener said he was pleased to mest the New Zealand and Australian premiers, as he recently had the pleasure of submitting to their governments a scheme of military reorganization which is being carried out with the thoroughness which marks all the undemtakings of those governments.es NEW LORD LIEUTENANT.George Honors My, Wm.Glynne Fladstone, London.July 4+\u2014 The Ki appointed Mr.William ayane Charles Gladatone, a grandson the great British statesman.and who is now on the staff of Mr.James Bryce, Ambassador to the United States, te be Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire, the highest official position in the coun- has eb RING GEORGE COINAGE Ottawa.July ¢\u2014 The new Jing a George cent which is being made the Canadian mint, will differ considerably in design from the King Edward oent.À proclamation hss been fssued with this description: \u2018For the obverse impression.the of- A of His Majesty King Geo-ga the th.consisting of head and bust, wearl the Imperial Crown and the robe state, with thé collar of the Garter.and looking to the left, with the Inscription ua V., Ind.: Imp.:\" and the reverse the words \u201cOne cent, Canada.\u201d and the date of the yvar within a headed eircle burroun by a wreath uf en- twiried maple leaves with a p'inin edge\u2019 On the King Edward cent the head of the monarch faces t> ile left with the inscription \u2018Tdwardus a Royal that moment.Note the puft ~\u2014Topical,\u2019 photo VIL.Die Gratia Rex Imperator, and the word Canada appears en the ¢b- verse of the coin.Freedom of City Extended to Dis-' THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS, JULY 11, 1911, Lo ~ THE CORONATION + Aie Soon by à Canadian in the Press Gallery.(By Marjory MacMurohy.)

meaning, and which did not refresh the spectator through these long hours that swept by joining into one ail the past and pren history which one has known.je time did not seem short.One recognized that it was from seven to eight hours long.But the interest of the scène itself.and of what the sceme expressed, was so great that\u2019 the spectator was conacious neither of fatigue nor of

did not happen to be visible from the south triforium.« The alght of a venerable peer going up the steps which led to that part of the Abbey called the theatre reminded one of Lord Strathcona.\u2018When be turmed one could see plainly that it was Lord Strathcona, venerable and loyal, and supporting his heavy magnificent robes with steadiness and dignity.The Peeresses were in the north transept, the Peers in the south.and above them were massed the members of the House of Commons and their ladies.In one of the IMtle recesdes behind a tomb with recumbent effigy an artist sat painting the incomparable scene.The bishops made a resplendent group on the north side of the Sacrarlum.The judges were in a bay of a transverse section of the rorth transept.The Royal box occupled by the princesses was on the soutl.side immediately behind the Chairs of State, where the King and Queen sat for the first part of the service.The choir in their white robes w.re in the gallery immediately beside the organ.High as all this color blaged, it was subdued and made beautiful and fitting dy the shadows, the sweet loveliness and dignity of the great Abbey.In the centre or thontre were the Chairs of Homage, five steps leading to the King's and threes to the Queen's.To the south side were the Chairs of State already mentioned.Before the Chairs of Homage was King Edward's chair with the Coronation Stone.Fine Persian carpets covered this part of the Abbey foor.But thess facts were noticed only incidentally.It was the Impressive significance and glory of the Altar which drew the eye irresistibly.Thus the Abbey lay, and thus it was prepared for the ceremony.it 18 said that guests had begun to arrive as early as six o'clock.By half-past six & considerable number of figures were moving about on the floor of-the nave.One could distinguish readily the Earl Marshall, the Duke of Norfolk, who has evidently taken his office with assiduous seriousness.He moved up and down the abbey untiringly through all the hours of arrival.His attention was turned everywhere and even at the last moment walking in his place in the King's procession he turned again and again to look behind.It is clear thmt the Coronation has exacted from him most anxious labor.The Gent peeress arrived about half past six.She paced up the long aisle in her crimson train ahd she was followed before long by such a company of her fellow peeresses as can hardly be described.Crimson, white and gold was the general combination worn by these magnificent ladies.The longest trains were worn by the Duchesses.In crimson and ermine, with gleaming shoulders, wonderful diamond circles on thelr heads, and Jewels sparkling on their bosoms.these ladies moved to their places, esch earrying her coronst which she would not wear until the Queen was crowned.One would think, such was their that they had often worn such robes before.But these robes are worn only at a Coronation.To what could the peeresses be compared but the queen flowers of some garden?But splendid as they were, they were not the most splendid aight at the Coronation.Nor were the Peers Lhe most splendid sight, although to see a Peer of England come! in full sell up the nave of Westminster Abbey, his full orimson robes blllow- ing about him.!s an impressive spectacle.They were seated opposite the Peeresses, and they also carried their coronets to be worn only when the King was crowned.In the triforfum, up aloft beside the press, were one hundred and fis boys of Westminster School.At last we were to hear these Vivats shouted with all a boy's might which we had been taught was the immemorial custom of a Coronation.Some of these Here are the Crown Prince and Prin- ress of Germany.One can see it is true as said that the Crown Princess is very lovely.Princess Fushimi with the redoub\u2019abdle Admiral Togo; the Hon.John Hays Hammond, representing the United States, had been sentenced to death under Kruger: and now General Botha is not far sway from him while both are at the Crowning of King George of England.One must notice the representatives of Turkey, and of Egypt and the wonderful Indian Princes, aldes-de-camp to the King with jewels and fabrics too lovely to be described.Here are John Burns and MeKenna, Churchill, and Wyndham and Ealfour.One is not fortunate enough to catch slght of

side of the dals while every heart wishes him well.He is so much a boy and carries himself so steadily.People are pleased with the Prince of Wales When Princess Mary passed, the Prince of Wales rose and bowed to his sister, who had a long train and & lady-in-waiting.It is said to be her first experience of both.She made à charming sight and to her also every one sent good will.Prince Albert, Prifices Henry and George, the two Intter wearing the Highland dress, followed the Princess Mary.Each as- luted his brother, the Prince of Wales, who in turn bowed to them.Only lit- tie Prince John

man of wealth, education and soclal prominence, but he has cliosen to devote his life to the study of fire prevention.The first mtep, he - says, is to clean up.The practice of cu allowing factory floors, halls aril stairways to be strewn, days and weeks on end, with cloth and paper acrups, oll-soaked rags and cigar ends must be stopped.In churches, hotels, theatres, etc.every curtain, every drapery, every bit of upholstery should be treated with chemical solutions, which would render them fireproof.Automatic sprinklers and automatic alarme are æiso necessities.Mrs.Dorr in \u2018Hampshire's\u2019 condemns the ordinary fire-escape ns often quite uselses.An ideal fire-escape.she says, its an outside balcony of metal or stone, along which people can easily pats beyond the next fire wall, supposing there are fire walls dividing this building into compartments, as there ought to be.If stairs are used 2s a fe-escaps, they should be on the outakle of the bullding and should never lead into à court.In Philadelphia they have towers on their best bulldkge, separated from the main structure, and reached from every floor by am outside balcony.These towers ane ths best fire-escapes so far devised.But even with all these proposed improvements, - - people must be taught to use them, and fire drills in factories carefully .arranged according to the individual a

account for the whole dizaster.Another thing that the report shows is that there is no evide.uce of any force from without.It is no doubt a possible theory that the internal explosion was the re- cult of an external one; but anybody who knows anything of the conditions 2?fron long unde?water\u2014and that is almost everybodylwill find It very dificult indeed to Believe that the first \u2018mpact on

States judgment of all that took place \u2018in the island.When thers was a revoit in Cuba, as revolta there are, porlodically'in all Spanish countries, the whole sympathy of the United States nation was with the revolutionists, and sympathisers rushed in numbers to ald every insurrection.The methods of General Weyler in dealing with the last Cuban insurrection were painted with the strongest Dlgment obtainable by the New York and Chicago yellow press.The ordinary reader had been.during months and years, worked up into a sort of frensy of abhorrence of Spain and into a strong sense of the duty of the United Btates to interfers.It is probable that on the whole the liberu- tion of Cuba from the Spanish oligarchy that exploited it has proved an unspeakabls blessing to the island and also to Spain, both having hed their old bad ways changed and having emerged as comparatively modern peoples.Cuba has, as soon as the repressive hand\u2019 of the United States has been removed, revertad to many mediaeval practices.She is not cured of her low and unclean tastes, But she is very different from what she was.and ls in the path of improvement, The Spanish war was a great blessing to the peace of the world.Had Great Britain not steppsd In at that time and forbade a European combination against the United States it might have been impossible some years later to have prevented the United States Interfering for the independence of the Boers In South Africa, which would have been bad for the Boers and disastrous for the British Empire, which would Immediately have had moro wars of independence on her hands.Buch at least is a far from uniikely theory of possibilities.None of these considerstions, however, gives any value to the immediate cause of the war, lacking which the United Skates might have sought In vain for occasion to Interfere.remem A BAD REPUTATION.Canadians have taken it kindly thet they among others have been askel to compete in offering designs for the capital of Australia.We hope thers need be no misgivings as to the fairness of the award.We do not know how far political pull rules in Australia.We are unfortunately so fam!- Har with it here that we find it hard \u2018to imagine any government award being bestowed on other terms than those of political considerations.An 1den has become widespread in Great Britain that, though tenders were call- od for all over the world for the bulld- ing of the new Quebec bridge, such pressure has been since brought to bear upon government as to maks ten: ders from outside the country nuge- tory.A reputation like this is a bad one to have at home, where we have become inured to it.When it finds its way to the world wide field we shall probably wake up to its discreditable nature.We are not judging the question now before the English press.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has presented the case as understood by him.We are inclined to think that the mistake of the government, if mistake there has been, goes back of the choice of plans to the choice of engineers.If we understand the matter aright the first engineers preseited a plan which only one of them really approved; but that one was the chairman of the commis.salon.His name was the least notable on it; but then he was a Canadian.This plan when published was 80 generally criticised that the government was fain te take refuge behind one of the alternate plans, and it chanced that this plan was that of the only Canadian tenderer.It did not keep within the money limit which had been set.The other oon- tractors who had gone to immense trouble and expense in planning to fulfil the prescribed conditions think that it those conditions had to be modified they should have been allowed another chance.We can leave this question to be fought out in the press.It 18 hardly a fair fight between the experts of the attacking companies and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who can hardiy be au fait in the matter.There is nu evidence to us of anything more than the cutting of & knot, which, owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the first recommendation, thers was no time to untie.But it seems unfortunate that we have earned s reputation whioh makes it difficult to defend ourselves at the public bar.\u2014\u2014 LEGALLY DRUNK.A emious effect of law upon men's conception of morals is found in the statement of the chief of police to the Controllers that thero Was no change in the treatment of drunkards as a result of the new Jaw except that they wore arrested an hour earlier than they used to be.When the law was first put into force a statement was published, which Is by this one proved to be Insocurate, that thers.after drunkards would be arrested at ail houra though before the: had only been arrested when the saloons were legally closed.The new statement does tot lessen but rather acoen- tuates the anomaly.The obiel's policy seems to imply that at the hour at which it is legal to sell liquor it is legal to get drunk, which ta 8 very ourfous comment on the charseter and operations of the places whieh our commissioners solemnly deslare year by year to be fit and proper ones for the sale of Mquor, and to bs a public necessity: for this is all declared by the renowal of the licenses.There je another possible explanation of the distinction between the hours at which men are and are not licensed to be drunk.Jo long as the oons are open a person found helpless on the streets can be hurried into the bare room again and the police will thus be quit of him, whereas, If the saloons are legcily closed, this would be an awkward thing to Md pelicemen do.If this explanation is a false one\u2014 and It is only a surmise\u2014what then do the police do with the helpless vnes they fin?on the strest?Do they take then home in à cab?Do they have some convenlent benevolent asylum other than the cells where they can sober them up?The statement made nest some amplification to solve all the questions that could be asked.One or two things that stand out are that the hours of legal sale are also, in the conception of our law enforcers, hours of legal drunkenness, and also that the natural and expected business of licensed bar-rooms is to make people drunk, It may seem atrocious to do as we have suggested with drunke found In » helpless condition.If it is not done here, it is done in some cities-\u2014New York, for instance.The bar-room Is one would say, the very worst place for & drunken man !f he has any money left.In any case, it is shock- Ing tha.he should have tn be beholden to it and look to it as his legally appointed protector.But what better do we do with drunkards?We put then in a noisome cell to sleep off their cups: then we fine them one dollar or concign them to the jail for eich! days, where they can get no #004 and a great deal of harm.It is no wonder that by common consent the drunkard may escape that as often as possible.It costs the city a good deal and does the delinquent no good.The drunkard is admitted to be a helpless member of society, and he is one whom hié family cannot take care of.It .s therefore soclety\u2019's business to find some way of dealing with him.The right thing to do is, after one or two admonitions, to send him to a farm colony, where he will be put through a wholesome course of industrialism, where he may have the full- ost liberty within the bounds compatible with full occupation, and where drink will be absolutely unattainable.He should be kept thefe, not for eight days, but till cured.We need this just as much as we need sanatorluma for the white plague.The cases are as numerous and ss melancholy and as curable.This system is being insugurated in the State of New York, and those countries will be accounted first in the race of civilization which are the first to adopt it, and then to improve it as experience shows to be wise: \u2018 \u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 FOOD FOR MUCH REFLECTION.Since the midsummer holidays loom- od even distantly over the horizon there has been evident a general desire of educationists to take stock of the educational position of Canadas, and a wealth of very honest endeavor has been applied to the solution of the problems which ars pressing upon us.Dr.James W.Robertson, chairman of the Royal Commission on Industrial Training and Technical Education, and à member of the Commission on Conservation, gave an Important address on this subject before the Canadian Club of Ottawa.which has been published In pamphlet form, under the title \u2018Conservations.\u2019 Dr.Robertson deals with the conservation of the natural resources of the country\u2014espe- cially with farming\u2014in a truly noble manner.\u2018Farming is not only making \u2018wealth,\u2019 he says, \u2018it is partnership \u2018with the Almighty.\u2019 80 he would have the city dweller h-=>r the farmer upon whom, in the final resort, the health and wealth of the nation depends.Turning to the conservation and application of that most important natural resource \u2014 youthful endeavor and energy\u2014Dr.Robertson examines Canada\u2018s services to technical education.He finds we have made a good degin- ning at both ends.\u2018We have hand- \u2018work of some sort\u2014hand-and-eye- \u2018tralning\u2014in the elementary grades of \u2018some schools, from the kindergarten up.In an increasing number of towns \u2018there are courses in manual training \u2018and household science.That is part \u2018of general education for development, \u2018for culture and for citizenship, and \u2018it is also preparatory education to \u2018which industrial training and techni- \u2018cal education will piece on without \u2018waste.At the other or upper ena of \u2018formal education several colleges and \u2018universities provide courses of a part- \u2018ly technical character for what I may \u2018call the technical professions.They \u2018are doing a fine work for these high- \u2018er branches of technical education.\u2019 The bulletin published recently by the Carnegie Foundation places the University of Toronto, in regard to physics (and Implying, Dr.Robertson thinks, the whole department of ens: nesring), io the front rank.He places McGill in the same class and finds i.e Polytechnic School of Laval, Queen's.Halifax snd New Brunswick, and others not so large, also good.There is besides s beginning In secondary technica) education in montresl, Toronto, Hamilton, Ssuit Ste.Marie and Halifax, Quebec, Winnipeg and Vancouver are also making a beginning, but thers is mot very much in the smaller citiss and towns, where the man who has begun to earn his living by craftsmanship can get a further training.He notes the service rendered by the Ontario agricultural Coi- lege at Guelph, our own Macdonald College at Ste.Anne de Bellevue, and also the agricultural colleges at Truro, N.8,, and Winnipeg, Man.Bulldings are {n course of erection at Ssskatoon for the College of Agriculture aa part of the University of Saskatchewan.Ex- teasion teaching and demonstration work for the rural populations are promoted and assisted by the agricultural colleges in all the provinces.But it 1s In firm but Kindly criticism and suggestion that Dr.Robertson's address shows its great value.He finds s general disdontent over Cansna with the product of the schools\u2014that ts, the testimony especially of the employers and the industrial Workers Personally, he thinks \u2018that one of the \u2018great mistakes we have made te \u2018in \u2018asserting that the thres essentials of \u2018a common uchool education are read- \u2018ing.writing and arithmetic, for the \u2018child can learn these subjsots more quickly and better as part of its gen- \u2018eral training than if and wben they \u2018ars taught as separate subjects.\u2018If we give qur attention to the essen- \u2018tial method for eMslency, vis.: train- \u2018ing the children to observe clossly, to \u2018think clearly and to manage without \u2018waste snd with good will, the use of \u2018the literary tools for further educa- \u2018tion will come easy with the puplis.\u201cThe subject matter for such tralning \u2018nesd not be lesa cultural because it is \u2018closely related to the lives and oocu- \u2018pations of Lhe community.Perhaps \u2018the closer the relation, the greater the \u2018cultural value of the necessarily few \u2018subjects and courses.\u2019 Dr.Robertson also motes the lure of higb wages for the boy of fourteen or younger, which takes him out of school.At eighteen he is too big for his job, and yet not willing and qualift- ed to go into any ealling that will make him a good workman with command of à trade.Beverai urgent needs are mentioned by Dr.Robertson.\u2018One \u2018is the need in all schools of some Op- \u2018portunity for boys when they are past \u2018twelve, whereby the boy will reveal to \u2018himself and his teacher and parents \u2018the bent of his ability\u2014some experi- \u2018ence.in hand work as well as book \u201cwork, before the bay leaves the com- \u2018mon school, that will give an indica- \u2018tion of what he should choose, and \u2018how he should prepare for his lites \u2018work.Another ts the need, in the \u2018case of the boys from twelve to six- \u2018teen who Intend to go into some skill- \u2018ed trade, to get a chance to learn In \u2018school how to use common hand tools \u2018for wood and iron, and the qualities \u2018of common materials.Another is \u2018the need of courses or schools, of \u2018High 8chool or Academy grade, sd- \u2018apted to the boys who are going into \u201cindustrial life\u2019 Again, thers is the need of some opportunity for edugs- tion to make up to the boy, after he begins to work, for what he does not now get through lack of en apprentios- ship system.There is the need of evening schools for workmen in the smaller cities and towns, for men who have learned their trade to fit them for advancement and promotion.There is the need of Intumste correlations between those who manage industries and factories, the men most skilled in their trades, and the managers of the schools and classes where workers are trained.Farmers\u2019 children.fisherfolk, and women and givis should likewise have opportunities for learning all the best that Is known in regard to the work that naturally comes within their several spheres of influence.It may be some time, It probably will, before the ideals of Dr.Robertson are put into effect, but they cartainiy hold up a standard for Cansds to work to.True education has two purposes, the one is to fit the pupll fer making « living, the other to fit him or her for \u2018making a life.\u2019 It is to be feared that a good deal that calls itself education in these days serves neither the one end nor the other.We certiinly need above all things a vital wpifit of reality in all our schemes of teachmg and learning.Mr.T.P.Q'Conpor recently made a notable appeal for this in regard to English schools in terms that sound almost like an echo of those of Dr.Robertson.But the great problem for a large proportion of our popula tion, in this province at any rate is to get any education at all.Inspector McOuat has found such a scarcity of teachers that he recently advocated the granting of diplomas for & lower grade of training.The educationists have certainly given us all something to think of during the holidays.It 1s to be hoped that their ideas will germinate in the public mind during the summer, and that the coming autumn will not only yield a plentiful harvest of \u2018number one hard,\u2019 but will give us a richer crop of that wisdom, generos- fty and self-sacrifice without which no system of national education can be sven an approximate success.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MINORITY REPRESENTATION.Controller Alney has made a very reasonable plea for more labor representatives In parliament.in the legis- atures, and in municipal governments, Wa heartily agrees with this demand.It le not that we are in love with dis- tinetive labor legislation.Some of the demands of labor men are fer the country\u2019s good, others are liable to be described as despotic and monopolistic and as class legislation, tending rather to obstruct than to promote the development of the nation.But we recognize the fact that owing te our party system, labor is under-represent- od In proportion to the number of its votes and that this is à Wrong that it can do no one gooû to perpetuate.We think, moreover, that nothing is more educative than a full and intelligent share in the government of the country and that in the open arena of statesmanship those who have deen able to look at only one side of public questions are likely to become more rounded and wise in their views.We have always looked with great satisfaction on Mr.Ainey's occupancy of the position in which he 1s.Some of his tendencies we have criticised, but.we regard Bim as a tower of Strength to the commission of which be is a faithful snd diligent member.In the same way we should like to see many more labor men put te school amid the res.ponsidbilities of publie fe.This deing so we should like to call Mr.Ainey's attention snd that of all labor men who share his views to & cajeful study of the system ef pre- portionate Voling-\u2014e aystem to which so thoughtful a statessnan es fir Richard Cartwright has of late given bis complete approval.Under our present system half the people are unrepresented, namely.thoss who vote for the losing candidates.Sometimes by actual count it ie more than half.Under the presert system minorities count for nothing in politica No One who does not lay in his account with ons or other party can be counted as represented at all.Most of the voters are indeed forged to make choles between candidates neither of whom commend themselves te thelr Judgment or can be mid to represent them ut all.What are wanteé in à parliament or city counell are men who fairly represent tha various phases of opinion that prevail among the electors.This can only bs got by a System which will make every man\u2019s vote tell In an sfMrmative and not merely a negative way.We are not giving space here to the unfolding of the system by which this can be dons.We have done that before.Suffice it to say that by making large constituencies with five to neven members each, the proposed method of balloting provides thet every minority which ean muster a fifth or a seventh of the electorate can choose its own representative, and even if it fails to got that representative in, its vote is not lost, as each man's ballot Is in that case racorded for the candidate of his second choice.Under proportionate voting the working men could have one candidate in very many Constit- usncies, and more in some.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A MONTREAL SOLOGUE.Wilam:\u2014 I hate these dusty, noisy

express an opinion on à matter of far reaching importance to the Canadian public at large, but especially to the city of Montreal, the undoubted financial centre of this grea: Dominion of Canada.In the ordinary course of my busi: ness in London ! have brought to me { all sorts and conditions of undertakings, requiring finencing, ant umouk them during the past few years thers \u2018have been a very large number of Canadian enterprises.The Canadian promoter when he comes to England considers the English financier the most gre«dy mortal on earth, and takes exception to the terms asked for doing business.Bo I made up my mind that as London will be In a state of festivity just now to take the opportunity of visiting Canada for the tme and studying its possibili- 88 & field for Investment.In England the Dominion Is so aggressively advertised that anyone accustomed to old-fashioned conservative methods is apt to fight shy of most things Cane- dian, and believe In everything Canadian \u2018cum grano salle\u2019 From my first impressions, however, I must confess to being surprised at the enormous opportunities offered here, and as far ns I can fudge there is far more good business available than good fnun- clots 10 handle it.Hence comes the great opportunity for the gross nver- capitalization of most Canadian issues, and there is no doubt that the Companies\u2019 Act in the Dominion of Can- sds calls for the most drastic reforms.The way that Issues here are presented without the slightest information as to what prices the particular business is acquired for, and what the public is paying for {t.is In itself amazing, and when one sess \u2018an arch- mergerer, a wholesale stock waterer, whose methods have done most perhaps to force the demand for reforms,\u2019 (to quote your own paper) in the Coronation honors list one is incilned to wonder what effect it will have on his confreres.Will they too follow along the same lines with a view to attaining ths same honor?All this is the more to be regretted when one realizes the very sound basis on which the banks of Canada have built up their reputations, and the high standing these institutions have attained.I have in mind particularly two Canadian flotations.one of a British Columbia timber enterprise offered recently in London, with a capital of $20,000,000, and of a paint undertaking issued a few days ago in this city.Of the former issue there is nothing In the prospectus to justify anything like $20,000,000 capital.As regards purchase price, the sum to be paid by the company for the properties Is set out, but no mention is made of what the promoters pald for these propar- ties, so the public cannot possidly judge as to whether the purchase price is a fair one or not.What is clear is that the promoters-vendors are getting as purchase consideration $17,450,000 (in cash and shares) while out of the proceeds of the issue only $1,560,000 is available for working capital for such a huge enterprise as this one is reported to be, while $1,- 000,000 is in the treasury for future issue I presume as and when required.Now what are the assets of-this concern?Plant, machinery and freehold land, etc., $1,228,000, and the 9,000,000, 000 feet stan timber (put in at the excessively high rate of $2 per thousand feet) represents $18,000,000.This last figure is an exceedingly doubtful estimate, and & more reasonable est!- mate would be 75 cents per thousand feet, averaging over such a large area, or $6,750,000.Now just taking this proposition as a whole there is no earthly reason why it should not have been capitalized at $10,000,000 instead of $20,080,000, Then with regard to the paint issue, this is extremely interesting, as this is a propositnon offered here at home, and [ was very interested in getting à.copy of the full prospectus.Here again I looked in vain for such a thing «5 à purchase price.It Is not even mentioned.\u2018The Information 1s based on the statement of two of the directors, no doubt gentlemen well qualified ta give a resume of the concern's history and prospects.Here we have a capitalization of $8,000,000, with a bond issue of $4000.900.and of this $7,000,000 Is issued and $3,450,000 bonds, or a totsl of $9,450,000.Against this we are given net assets of $3.635,013 (which I presume is value of real estate, lease-holds and plants, valued by highly eminent firms), and à further $3,000000 is set down for \u201cformulue, trade marks, patent rigu(s and goodwi!ll* This is only \u2018conservatively valued at\u2019 this figure, but we are not informed by whom it Is valued, and why the first-class firm that valued the real estate, etc, could not also have vaiued the formulae, ete.I cannot tell.\u2018The combined earnings {not profits) of the thres companies to be amalgamated is put down at $337.- 107, but.mark you, for one year.Why only give one years profits.when we are told that these three concerns hava been in existence for 150 years, 24 years and 18 years respectively.Why are not the net profits given for say the past five or seven years?am not in any way criticising the merits of the business itself, which appears to be & sound Canadian Industrial enterprise worthy of soun4 finance, but unworthy of the methods amployed in putting It before the pub- Me There is no idea given as to how mueh of the proceeds of the money put in by the public is going into the company for working capital and developing the company's business.Is it all going into the promoters\u2019 pock- ots, or how much into the promoters\u2019 and how much ito the vendors\u2019 pock- ats?What la there to justify his concern having a capital in bonds and stock of $12,000,000?No person who knows the merest elements of finance can call this sound finance.And both these undertakings appear under the auspices of the same promoters.It is interesting to compare these prospectuses with an English one, and in the latest files of the London \u2018Times\u2019 I see the well-known firm of Ranso Sims & Jefferies, Limited, advertised.Mere is this concern.which was found.of in 1789, with & total share capital of £780,000 and a bond issue of £300.- 000, or a fotal authorized issue sll told of £1.040,000, of which £779,300, or 81,787,590 le fssued and the balance held in reserve.Now this comparison is particularly interesting in oonnec- tion with the paint concern, wl se in both companier « ave valued by the same two well-known Srins of chartered accountsnis and valuers.In the paint company the assets are valued at $5.685.012, and in the English company the assets are valued at 68.748.277: in both cases goodwill are excluded from these pert valuations, aithough in the C: adian company we are told this item ts estimated at $3,000,000.Now with regard to the profits, the paint company for one year only gives comhined earnings (is this profits?) at $537,807.The English company gives certified profits for the past ten years, \u2018showing an annual average of $308,503, but for the past year only the profit 18 $410,- US Why das not the paint company i ! 2 ven its profits for the past ten years, with the annual average?Now, hone estly speaking, can anyone who knows anything at all about finance tell me why the paint concern should have $9,460,000 issued in bunds and stock while the English company should

general purpuses of the company, whereas in the Canadian company Do ona hes the slightest con ceptivn as to whut will be dune with the proceeds of the issue.And tu cap ft at the generous Canadian promoters boldly point out the directors of the company and the Canadian invese tors huve tuken firm no less than 32- 760,000 of the present offer of $3,000,000 preferred stuck, so the genersi pube lic is given à chance to come in und subscribe for only $300,500 of the stock.Burely the directors and the Canadian investors might have taken up this small balance and so saved the pro moters from having to Make any pub- lle issue at all, und so nut give the Public the details of this extraordinary prospectus.I am told that this is by no means lsvlated case, but tha usudl methods are followed.I read in a Boston puper a day or two ago a8 follows: \u2014 EngLsh bunkers are becoming exceedingly cautious on Canadian financial affairs generally.They believe Canada is already heavily overloaded, and their caution is intensified by the fact that Brussels and Paris are actively speculating in Canadian lands.\u2019 Is {it to be wondered at?T must apologise for encroaching to such length on- your valuable space.but the matters here involved have an Importance of their own, and result of the methods to which I have alluded will be to give Canadian company finance a bad name.AN ENGLISH BANKER.Montreal.July 4, 1811.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 + NAVAL ARCHITECTS.International Congress Honors Several Admirals, London, July 5.\u2014The jubilee meetings of the International Congress of Naval Architects opened yesterday.The Duka of Connaught welcomed the foreign delegates on behalf of King George, who.he ssid, had charged him to convey his best wishes and an assurance of His Majesty's complete sympathy as a sallor with the objects of the delegate.In honor of the jubliee a number of distinguished personages were made honorary members of the Institution of Naval Architects.Among them were Admiral Dewey, Admiral Togo, one of the herces of the Japanese-Russian war; Vice-Admiral Sir Gero Ijuiari.chief of the general staft of the Japanese navy: the Kings of Spain.Sweden and Norway, Prince Henry of Prussia, and Prince Arthur of Connaught.CANADA AND FRANCE Treaty Shows Increase in Trade of Both Countries.Ottawa, July 5\u2014That the \u2018rade agreement between Canada and France, which went into effect on February 18, 1910, has resulted in in- creaced business between t'e two countries is shown by the report of the Canadian section of the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris, which has been received by the Department of Trade and Commerce.The chief advantage so far, however, lies with France, the exports of that country to Canada in the short time the agreement has been in force having materially increased.The value of these products for nine months, ending De- camber 1, 1910, was $5,450,196, as against $1,182,861 for the same period in 1900.The Canadian exports to France, although showing an increase, have not increased in the same proportion, the figures for the same nine months of 1910 standing at $2,137,331.as compared with 52,049.831 for the previous nine months.The principal cause of this inenuality, it 1s explained, was the shortage, and consequent high prices of agricultural products in Canada, and also owing to the apparent ne- gtect of Canadian producers and manufactures in seeking for a low market in France.The report, however, states \u2018that the treaty will undoubtedly be the cause of a further and lasting Impetus to trade, which will be shown as soon as figures cam be obtained for a complete period of twelve months.\u2019 re FIRE DESTROYS WHEAT CROP.Galt, Ont., July 5.\u2014 About two and a half miles

international agreement covering prizes In naval warfare, passed its second reading in the House of Commons yesterday.An amendment introduced by John G.Butcher, Unionist member for York, to defer consideration of the bill until reported on by a committee of experts, was defeated after a prolonged debate by a vole of 301 to 231.The bill passed without division.The feature of the debate was Sir Edward Grey's speech in support of the bill, in which he referred to the attitude of the United States.He argued that, as that country holds the view that \u2018under restricted conditions sinking should be allowed, it would be uscless Lo attempt to bring in a law aboiishing It.that in case England was at war with a great Continental power, the one great neutral power whose interference would be useful was the United States, which was greatly Interested In supplying food to this country and was possessed of a fleet of sufi- clent strength to make Interference effective.The United States, he Insisted, would never have signed the Declaration of London 1f they believed In time of war thelr commerce would be interferes with, \u2018The United States, aaid Fir Edward, 'have been no reluctant rty to signing the Declaration of fondon and the Prize Court convemon.They have thereby taken a deep interest in promoting the establishment of an International prize court, and in thelr view acceptance of the Declaration of London is essential to the establishment of a successful workiug International prize court.\u201cThe bellef that the United States Government regards the policy of a prize court convention and the Declaration of London- with Indifference ls a very dangerous misapprehension, which it would remove If we were at war with a Continental power.That Continental power, knowing perfectly well the risk and desiring to avoid the danger of any frictlon with the United States, the great maritime neutral power interested in our food supply, would in qii likelihood prefer to accept the rules of the Declaration of London and be prepared to refer to arbitration any question which arises with regard to 1\u2019 SEEKING INVESTMENTS English Capitalist Says the Land is the Real Wealth of Canada Mr.W.&.Chantrall, borough councillor of Wallasiey, near Liverpool, left Montreal Friday night after a tour months\u2019 tour through Cuasds and the northern parts of the United States in the interests of a group of North of England capitalists seeking new in- vestinent proposale for their money.In an interview with a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter at the Windsor Hotel, Mr.Chantrall sald that he expected to come back next year with the money.\u2018Foolish, foolish, foolish, 1s what we English people have been in regard to your wonderful Canadian land\u2019 he said.\u2018We have put auch money as we have invested almost exclusively into industrial propositions, as you call them, Whereas the real weaith of the country is in its fertile land.The Germans, Americans and French have not been so slow, with the result that thousands and thousands of their money is Invested where British capital ought to be.There is a most wonderful field in the west for British capitalists to invest their money in first mortgages on farms, and that is one of the things we shall do.Then there ls & great opening in the intelligent purchasing of land for farming and fruit growing, but really some of those western people will have to become more modest.\u2019 \u2018Speaking of land,\u2019 continued Mr.Ohantrall, \u2018I was never so surprised in my life as I was in Victoria, B.C, when 1 enquired the price of a piece of land about 30 feet by 60 feet, and was asked $10,000.It was more expensive than a gooû district of London.But the same tone obtains In many parts of the west, where they will think nothing of asking $3.000 for brush land covered witth rocks.In some parts high prices are deservedly asked, for they have what I belleve you call \u201cgot the goods.\u201d Take, for instance, some of the veven-yeer apple orchards in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, where they are asking $3,000 an acre.The two places are not to be compared.\u2018But the east is far more moderate in tone than the west, although, as I sy.some of the western land is worth the apparently high price asked for it.I saw farms in Ontario near St.Thomas equal in every reepect to the western farms for which onestenth the price was being asked.Beautiful orchards in Ontario and lovely apples.My friends in the fruit importing trade in Liverpool tell me that although they get better looking apples from the States, and got better prices for them, there \u2018ls not a finer tasting apple to be had than those from Ontario.® Mr.Chantrefl concluded by asking what was being done to trace down the continual statement in the west that the Peace River district, which should soon be opened up to settlers in accordance with the Canadian land laws, has actually been sold privately to various syndicates, which will make immense sums out of them.\u2018I had no time to go thoroughly into the matter, he said, \u2018but I am convinced that the people of Edmonton and Calgary believe it to be true, and if eo, It is & tremendous scandal which should be unearthed.In any ense, for the good name of the country, it should be given the widest pubd- liclty so that some official statement To other poi t he took up was the je other poin ultimate state of the much-talked of irrigated lande He said it was a moot point whether the constant irrigation of land which had no subsoil would not eventually wash away all the nutriment from the operated land.o mir ENDORSES RECIPROCITY, Would Eliminate Wheat Speculating, it is Declared.London, July 4.\u2014Presidirg to-day at

trens- continental ratiway.\u2018There bas besn much speculation rife in respect\u2019 the negotiations of the Canadian Northern, and the establishment wf terminals at Montreal.The greut strides made by this rallway during the last few years is sutficient evidence of their indomitable energy and-de- termination to carry through such a gigantic scheme of a trunscontinomtsl railway to a successful issue.\u20ac It Is anticipated that about two and & half years will see the Montréal mountain tunnelled, and a great uen- tral station erected fn the heaxt-pf the city.It ls the intention of.the \u2018two great magnates, Sir Wm.Mec- kenzle and Sir Donald Mann, to make headquarters of the railway at Mont- coal, ; Many millions will de spent on the Island of Montreal in the comtruction of this great railway, which means the further growth and advancemept of the city.Suburbs on the Engligh principle are looming in the futume, connected by a few minutes\u2019 raliway service, and it is evident that the Montreal Street Rallway, which at present controls the real suburban business trafic at the moment, is to have a great rival.\u2018The scheme under construction by the Canadian Northeyn on the Back River section, and wll along the proposed route for several ralles is only in its infancy.Bofape, however, Montreal ls much older, gnar- mous changes will have taken plage, and flourishing suburba will have taken posscasion of the territory belonging to the company, which is now farm land.Miles and miles of sidings base to be secured, and also a site for shops, which wlll employ probably 10,000 saan.It is understood that the whole.of the necessary capital has been Ps scribed for the carrying out of, the great scheme, and the work will vary shortly be started.In order to-get on to the island it is proposed to th: a à bridge across the River des Pram e.This work will be done by the en-' gineering department of the company in the near future, just as soon as, it is definitely agreed where to land, pû this side at the Back River.a Terra WINS LONG AERO RACE \u2018 Andre Beaumont Firat, in 1,000 Mile Inerntationé) * Circuit Contest Far un vs > pes tées een wi z e

Dr.Shaw.(From the \u2018British Weekly.) The appointment of the Rev.James Smyth, LL.D., of Ormeau-road Methodist Church, Belfast, to the important position of Principal and Professor of New Testament Exegesis and Church Polity in the Wesleyan Theological College, Montreal, has afforded much gratification to Dr.Smyth's many | friends in Belfast and throughout the Methodist Church in Ireland, eves «lthough there is mingled with their congratulations somewhat of a grudge THE REV.DR.JAS.SMYTH.that Canada, not content with her formidable levies upon the agricultural Population of Ireland, should also exact toll of Its scholars and its ministers.A reckoning up of how much the Canadlan Church owes to the Mother Country in theologians and in attractive preachers would bring to light a far greater indebtedness than is generally realized.Dr.Smyth, fn accepting the Montreal appointment, ts going the way In which many ministers of his church and his country have preceded him.Ths Methodist College in Montreal are indeed fortunate in having secured the services uf one in whom scholarship and strength of character are so happily combined with energy and enthusiasm, which had already made Dr.Smyth a genuine force in the Methodist Church, and indeed in the evangelical life of Ireland.Dr.8myth has, In beginning his work In Canada, the inestimable advantage of being.as professors of theology and principals go, quite & young man.Of Ulster birth and upbringing, he was accepted as a candidate for the ministry in 1897.His undergraduate career was highly distinguished.In the\u2019 Royal University of Ireland he took his B.A.in 1966.Persevering In his studies, he read for the degree of LI.B., which he secured with highest honors, and he then proceeded to the degree of LL.D.which in the Royal University of Ireland.as in the University of London, ls awarded on a searching examination.His theological training he had at the Methodist College, Belfast.His first circuit was Enniskillen.The next was Howth, the attractive northerly suburb of Dublin.Thereafter be returned to the North of Ireland.to the charge, first, of the Lyna Memorial Church, Belfast, thea of the church at Donaghadee, and latterly of the Or- meau-road Church, one of the strong- ast Methodist churches in Belfast.excellent pastor and a preacher thoughtful and eloquent.whose sermons reflect the intense sincerity of the man.But.while he has been, first of all, a Methodist minister, he has evinced a geal for social reform and a passion for righteousness In public affairs which have made thelr impression upon the community at large.In particular has this been exemplified In his devotion to the cause of temperance, in which he has been uncompromising and fearless.Dr.Smyth wields a facile pen, and the little book which he \u2018wrote last year on the attitude of the Methodist Church towards Episcopacy revealed him as a well-informed and trenchant controversalist.That in the new sphere which he is about to qpter a career of usefulness and the highest distinction awaits him, should heaith be granted him, is the assured conviction of all who know him, for a Smyth is possessed of a person whieh cannot fall to make itself felt in whatever environment he may be placed.RAIDED BLIND PIGS.Heavy Fines Collected From Tees- water Hotels.Wingham, Ont., July 4.\u2014On the night ot June 17 Provincial Constable Phip- pen and assistants surprised the Jecal option town of Teeswater by swooping down on c couple of the hotels where he supposed liquor was being sold.The Vendome Hotel.managed by Ja.cod Lambartus and his son.was searched, iiquor being found by the barrel;

saw the name Rindkopf above a store.Now, that name in German means a bullhead, and you would not imagine that a healthy, normal minded man would take such a name on his own account.\u20181 once asked a friend, familar with Europe, how it wes that eo many names of that character come to us with the emigrants.He expiained that many odd names come from the lower provinces of Germany and Austria.The people held to the old habit of going without surnames, and s boy was called John, the son of Joseph, and a girl Mary, the daughter of Martha, and so on, throughout many gen: erations.\u2018When the modern methods of Na- poison came along these people were inclined to cling to their old ways.Some of them were eapecially stubborn about taking s surname.They nsist- od that they wanted and needed no other name, and as a reward for their stubbornness the French in charge of the maming business just bestowed a en, and took pains to piok out as odious or as descriptive a name as possible.Thus, when a citizen was unusually obdurate he was called bulthead or ox, and he bad no way of getting rid of the ttle'\u2014~Washington \u2018Post.\u2019 \u2014 SAW BROTHER DROWN.Sherbrooke, Que., July 5.\u2014 W.Houle, 20 years of age, was drowned in the lake at Waterloo yesterday.He went into the water from & boat when over heated, and was sdised with cramp.He called to his brother in the boat, but before assistance reash- od him he had disappeared.: .Laaaalas THE POWERS THAT BE.x (By the Rav.Lamon Scott Homa.*) Text: Let etrery wmoul be subject unto the powers.e powers that be are ordained of God.\u2014Rom.xlii., first three verses.Does our apostle remember the magistrates who \u2018rent off their clothes and commanded to beat them, and when they had laid many stripes upon them cast them into prison, ch the jailor to keep them safely\u2019; who gave them no formal trial though they were Roman citizens?Were these rulers not a terror to good works?Gallo a: Corinth resolutely refused to go againat 8t.Paul at the clamor of the mob, but t was à long record the o:her way.he not already able to write of his being in imprisonments often, of the stripes he has borne above measure.What of Felix, who saw his innocence, who heard him speak, whose conscience was shaken, who felt all the force of his appeal to righteousnans and judgment, and yet left him in n merely to please the Jews?Or us, who was perfectly well aware that there was no real charge against Paul, and who had nothing to report in extenuation of his imprisonment, and yet was willing to do the Jews « favor, and proposed Paul should be sent up to Jerusalem to certain death?In this the way in which powers ordained of God act?1s this evidence that if we do good we are sure to have praise for the same?Ia this the fashion in which governors exhibit themselves as ministers of God, wrath on those that do evil?And what would the apostle have said later on in Ma life, after he had been chained to a soldier whenever he moved for two whole years in Rome, no specific wrong having been proved against him; or after he had been brought before Nero's court, and found no one to stand by him, and barely escaped with his life?Was Nero, then, ordained of God?\u2018Was resisting Nero resisting the ordl- nance of God?Looking back om all be suffered, on all thal Home di to him, I do not believe he would have withdrawn & mingle word.What he wrote after his experience at Phélippi he would have reiterated at the end of all.There 13 oo 8 in his writings that his high 16eal civil government ever waver.od or lapsed.And this is what constitutes the splendor of his (deal.It Nea behind the actual facts, a fixed belief that noth can shake, à faith that ia « of the soul.It means this: Rome succeeded én Implanting In men's imaginaton an in- -delible tradition.She had made the whole wide earth aware of what true civil government geght to mean.Bhe had revenied its valid authority.Men saw that the government éd not exist to exploit the weak, or to satisfy ambition, or to assert might, or to tyrannise by foros of conquest.but it existed #8 an essentia] factor In man's self- reliance, it existed to give social foros to his conscience, ft existed to fulfil! righteousness, to give praise to the good and to stamp éown evil; tt bore the sword of divine justice.That is the one purpose of otvil and therefore Ms one ton.Before Rome ît had always looked as if it embodied different aims: it had shown itself so hard, so arbitrary, so reck- lesa, so greedy; it appeared to be merely the weapon of ambition, the tool of ths conquerors pride.Rome suddenly let Su the light.It aliowsd men to eee the true Inner sirnificance of All tis law and order.In les es- wential nature it had nothing to dc *Preached at St.Paul's Cathedral, for tbe \u2018Chris- and specially reported lias Lpat London, Mus.apres 4 Li AqHIE SE odd bd d bbbbbd RMON.bbb bbbd with greed, or pride, or force.These did not come within its design.On the contrary, they disguised and perverted and destroyed its proper purpose.It was in itself simply the mani- f-station of right on earth.That is the truth for which this great Empire of Rome stood; that ts the principle it embodied.Once let that claim be made, and it has become an ideal \u2018which can never be cancelled or blotted out.There may be grievous lapses in detail; bad officials, corrupt governors, selfish, slothful rulers.The ancient greed will creep In once more, and the old cruelties will find their familiar opportunity.But these disasters have now ceased to be »ver- whelming.They have been detected as failures.as treacheries, as crimes that defy the light.They do not belong to the ideal they profess to serve, and they can be ignored, for they cannot hide from us now the glory they becioud; still we look through them to the sun rullag in the heavens, and still we can see the government can never be meant to inflict moral wrongs; it has no right to own them as its own: its real signfloance repudiates them It stands to uphold righteousness and to punish the wrong doer.The powers that be have nv claim except so far as they are ordained of God.If that be so, we can see why their lapses, and their blunders, and their injustice can be not only ignored, but resieted.St.Paul has no hesitation about that.The words of our text do not silence his own criticism of their acts.They a ordained of God, and they must reflect the mind of God, and the individual consciences of even the humblest citizens are aware of the divine standard and know what the right- eousnesa of God requires.The conscience of the Individual can detect moral treacheries and seifish sloth in its rulers.Therefore the apostle will have these magistrates at Philipp! on their knees.He is 10t going to let them off because they have found out their mistake and repented of it.He takes the rod into hés own hands and punishes them.\u2018They have beaten us openly uncondemned,\u2019 he says, \u2018and have cast us into prison, and now do they thrust ua out privily?Nay, verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out\u2019 This prisoner of theirs was master of them, and knew his business, \u2018And they came and besought them, end brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.We doteot an amused sense of the ocom- plete, cringing surrender of the magistrates and thelr anxiety to get this troublesome pair of fellows out of the prison.They desired them to depart, 00 hurried and flurried they were now! In the next words we feel how Metie St.Paul spared them: the extreme and dsliberats jetsure with which he responded to thelr appeals.They went out of the prison and en- t into the house of Lydia, and Then they had seen the brethren, they com them, and departed.\u2019 There is proof enough that Bt.Paul's lofty conception of the divine character of human law never led him to tie fai- lacy of non-resistance.Resist he did, with all his might whenever his con- aclence demanded it of @im.The State might flog or bind hm or fling him into a dungeon, but in doing that it only 414 violence to êteelf.Yot all the time that 8t.Paul wes uplifting this high ldeal which the Roman Empire for bm expressed, there was another Christian verdict being delivered M 6 very diYerent tone.John, the son of thumder, the man of voloanic soul, was looking out over the same Empire, and to him it was the expression of the powers of the secular world, in their pomp, and wealth ant de, moving to its own bad ends, defying man and God.This holy watcher had but one desire to for the day when the Angel should cry with g loud voice, \u2018Babylon the s| great is fallen!\u2019 These are, I suppose, the two verdicts we have to reiterate to-day.First, it hus been the work of some >.us in this generation to try to recover .ad realize this judgment of St Paul on the human State, that the powers that be are ordained of God, demonstrating His justice, bearing His sword.And we so revive it because ever since the Caurch and the Btate became one common tian society under Constantine the Pauline conception has been driven underneath the surface very largely.Attention has been concentrated =o much on the natura of the relationship between Church and State and the peculiar sanctity given to the State by its slllance with the Church.that men have almost forgotten the sanctity the State possesses of its own, apart from its connection with the Church of Christ.The character of its independent identity has dropped out of,sight, so much so that at times the Roman Church has committed itself to the desperately immoral contention that the State will lose ali claim on the consclence if it is divided from the Church.Or we ourselves yleld to the same fatal tendency when we assert, or at least imply, that the Btate, If {t ceases to give some public and formal recognition of the Christian religion, wil become godless.If we are true to the apostie we can never give way to such « suggestion.Holding by him, we declare human society organised into a State is in itself a divine creation; it has its own God-given purpose, it embodies the divine method, and realizes the divine end.The State is 2 sacred thing.It exists on its own account, apart from the organic body of Christ, discharging its own office for God.facing its own God-given responsibilities, manifesting itself through its own special experiences.It may receive strength and benediction from the Church, but it has its own service to render for which it answers to God, and the Church has no authority to Instruct it in its own affairs.It needs redemption, as every individual soul does, but it must work out its own destiny, as God ordained it.Therefore it makes its claim to the allegiance of the citizen, and in it we find the recovered revelation of the wonder and splendor of that human State to be built here for God.This does not mean that we hand over our consciences to the state, to do what 1t will h us.Far from fit.We are free to cliticize, as St.Paul did.We are just as free as he was to resist, free as hs to go to prison or even death in our refusal to submit.Our appeal is from Philip drunk to Philip sober\u2014from the State sinning against itself by committing În- justice to that Btate which solely exists to manifest the perfect justice of God.The State of which we in that sense je ideal.States have authority cver us because and in so far as they minister to divine right.ecusness.If they offend against righteoueness they falsity their own claim.t all such resistance fs an appeal to that true State, that divine creation, which ia in reality the base of every form of human society.The State is God-ordained.Bo speaks Bt.Paul, and we have been learning to reiterate his speech.But in so speaking, We are not disloyal to that other voice, the voice of thunder; the voire of the prophet.Babylon 18 yet with us.We know It all too well.Babylon, the world power, with its sinister weight of grush- ing traditions.Babylon, with its luxury, and selfishness, and heartlessness, and ambition, the lust of fiesh, the lust of eye, and the pride of life.Babylon, with her merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of ris and fine linen, and pur- pls, and dik, and scarlet, and all thyine

POULTRY KEEPING IN MANT- TOBA.Another week on the Agricultural Special has seen some of the best meetings of the trip.Several places had more people than could be me- commodated.and overflow meetings and double headers were held.Vir- den, Hamiota, «nd Strathclair were three of the best places visited dur- ng ihe week.Prof.Bedford, who knows Manitoba us well.vr better than any other person.says that the good meetings are alwayt indicative ©f the class of (armers.Mixed farming is belng introduced, and it is safe to say that during the next five years the poultry crop will be more than doubled.A show of hands at the meetings indicate that -almost every person keeps hens, about one in ten make them pay.and only one in fifty know what they do pay in a year.One woman said that the man nf the house would not ailow even feed wheat for the hens.becau: the hens would eat their heads \u201c Not a meeting, however, but several declare the poultry on the farm does y, and usually some one that nowa what they do.Mrs.G.Brooke, of Arden, sold $59 worth of eggs last year from 30 hens.8he sent her exgs west, she does not sell to the egg pedler.ls now getting 25c.while the local price is less than 15c.Here 13 where a little co-operation would work out very well.Mrs.Brooke keeps Light Brahmas, and thinks they are well suited to the Manitoba climate.Speaking about the age of hens, Mrs.Brooke has a Black Langshan hen laying every day.though she is fifteen years old.She ought to be worth her weight in gold.The wolf question often comes up.A good many persons think it Impossible to raise poultry because of them.Some complain that (t is too costly to fence, and wolf hounds eat as many chickens as the wolves themselves.In almost every place, however, there are some who have got over the wolf trouble by one way or the other.At one meeting a woman said that she was keeping quite a few hens, turkeys.etc.and though her neighbors were complaining of the wolves.she hud not lost any poultry for years.Her chicks had free range and two well trained wolf hounds were ull the protection that was required.8he thought if ordinary care was taken In training the dogs and xiv- en plenty to eat, they would never think of attacking the chickens.What is the best bres is frequently asked.The general favorite is undoubtedly the Barred Plymouth Rock, White Wyandottes, and Buff Orping- tons also being favorites.There are of course, good and bad in all breeds, and though some have done considerable selection, the general average is not as well bred or of as good a strain as will be the case in a few years\u2019 time.There are some good breeders in the country who are doing fn they can to improve the flocks.That they have the confidence of the public is evidenced by the demand for their stock.There will be an Increased demand for good utility pure bred stock, and the breeders who will supply what ix panted will find his business grow- ng.The cold and the warm house is also a question that is being worked out.the general impression neing that the cold dry house is giving general satisfaction.One woman said that though her house was single board sha had not had a frosted comb, and her hens lald well during the winter.In order to keep the houses more comfortable, some tried cloning up the windows, hut the best results have been obtained where there has been plenty of ventilation, and an abundance of sunlight.In Manitoba, where ther is so n.uch sunlight, poultry men cannot afford to keep it out of the houses.Let it in.It is the best and cheapest disinfectant we have.Incubators are not as widely used in Manitoba as they are in B.C A few.of course, are used, and some fairly good results obtained.It ls unusual to find in a meeting of 50 to 75 persons more than half à dozen who have used a machine, and frequently there will be but one or two.and sometimes more.\u2014F.C.E.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 POULTRY PARS.Unlike the goose.the turkey never ducks his head to enter a place, It is said of a goose that she will duck her head even when going under the tallest arch.An old time apurtsman says that he used to trap wild turkeys in what was called a turkey pen.This was made of fence rails, and the earth removed from the outside to the depth of two feet, the earth on the inside being a few inches higher.This trap was baked with a trailing of corn for some distance outside to the Inside of the pen.The turkey would k in following the bait, but once in he could not xet out without lowering his head.He said he caught entire flocks

of egi before they are hatched (nto chicken or chickens before they have matured sufficiently to show to what class they belong.Notwithatanding that scienc has been unable to change thase facts, each year we hear of persons who claim to have discovered tne great mystery.For ages, it seems, man has endea- vored to solve thix great problem.History tells us that Aristotle, 380 years B.C.discussed the problem; Pliny, the elder, advanced some theories on the subject; while Columella, in one of his books, deals largely with ft.In what Is known as his Eighth Book he says: \u2018The best time to set a hen is when the moon is increasing, from the tenth to the tif- teenth of the month.If ail males are desired set only the pointed eggs; if all females, set the rounded ones.Even to this day there are men who claim Columeila\u2019s ideas are worthy of note.How strange that the old superstitions should have any weight In this enlightened age.Bradshaw says that although the above would scarcely now be accepted ; as orthdox.still Columella advocated methods of management that are more or less adopted at the present time.In New South Wales, the Hawkes- bury Agricultural College authorities are experimenting to see if it pays to keep-three-year-old hens, and, from appearances, the results would probably confirm what Columeila remarked two thousand years ago, vi.: \u2018Also dispose of all old hens, for after three years they become unfruitful\u2019 Regarding the problem of sex.from time of these early writers, right through ail history down to our present year, alinost every naturalist has in some way touched on the subject.while the majority of specialists in bird lore have offered opinions on the matter.With some of these writers, theories give place to dogma, the ¢on- tour of the egg.or other circumstanc- ex, heing the only warrant for their predictions as to the sex of the unborn chick.Eggs long and thin have been described as those which will produce cockerels: the short.dumpy ones, pullets.There are even some writers who go so far as to say that eggs produced before noon are responsible for a certain sex.while those laid In the afternoon are of the opposite gender.Bradshaw tells another theory which had votaries\u2014that a new-laid eng would hatch out a cockerel.but that if not placed under the hen till the fourth or fifth day, tt would change to a pullet.Still another idea was connected with the position of the eggs in the nest.Should 1t happen that the end point south, it meant a pullet; but if north.a cockerel.What a bonanza this would be for poultry keepers, who could easily change the position of the eggs in the nest to produce cockerels or pullets at will There were atill ather methods of discovering sex that were advocated, even to the extent of using X-rays and other média.The \u2018Agricultural Gazette\u2019 of New South Wales, says all former opinions and theories, however, paled into insignificance In March, 1909, when at the invitation of Mr.Williams, the editors of several English poultry journals, W.T.Stead and others, met at the Hotel Cecil in London, to witness a demonstration of the work of a little instrument that, by its action, it was claimed the sex of any animal could be told; that it could accurately teli the sex of the chicken within the egg.and also.whether an egg was fertile or not.\u2018The instrument wae almply a small pith ball suspended at the end of a magnetized steel or copper wire, with a handle at the other end.The instrument was held over rabbits, mice, fowls, etc: and when held over a male animal the hall ro tated steadily, but when placed over a female lt swung backward and forward -pendulum fashion.\u2019 The same motions were produced over some eggs, and over others the ball would not move.The latter wer.sald to be infertile.This created quite a commotion among the poultrymen, but many breeders described the claim as ab surd.Later on, one of the poultry papers published a letter from a cor- reapondent who wrote that the motions of the pith hall over an egg, and like results, could be had with a darning needle attached to a silk thread.Another writer said it Is surprising what an amount of credulity exists in the world.8omecone comes along with a brand-new idea of telling the sex of eggs and immediately atald and resi sctable poultry farmers sally forth with thread and derning-needie (surreptitiously taken, most probably, from the wife's work-basket), and chase squawking chicks frant! lly around the pena, hent on determining thelr sex.This is foolish enough.but when It is gravely asserted that the power of the pendulum extends to the ogg.then the situation becomes ludicrous.Any student of embryology will tell the talented inventor of this method : That for the first few dayn the chicken In embryo is asexual, and on the seventh day distinctly hermaphroditic \u2014contalning within [taelf elementary organs pertaining to both sexes.After this stage It verges in one direction or another, one set of organs diminishing as the other increases.It will be seen that the merest accident determines the future of the bird, the nutritive valuss obtainable from the pabulum reacting conatitutionally or otherwise on the growing organs of sex.Thus, since the germ of life can have no sexual attributes, It Is obvious that the .dulum theory falls to the ground, Bradshaw gives 8 prediction: Should science ever triumph to the extent of bringing the sex problem outside the region of speculation, such will not be through an asexual A but more likely through beings = can think, speak and reason.But should such & discovery ever be made the consequences would be too terrible to contemplate.Martin Doyle, one of the early authorities, touches upon this point, saying, that many persons have attested that the form of the egg Ind- cates the sex of the future dird, and the ancient Roman writers on the subject asserted that the round ones produce females, and the rest the males.But Aristotle believed the contrary to be the case, and pronoun that long and sharp eg; are female, but that those that spherical and have a convexity ¢ to the sharp end, are males.0000000 MM ba opted tn the north of hod Scotland, according to Doyle, for as- | eortaining the sexual distinctions, | vers as follows: \u2018The eggs are, one by one, poised In the fingers of the left hand, with the broad end apper- moa, and In that position held close to the light of a candle, or before a bright sun.The little finger of the right hand is then placed behind the ogg near the top, faintly to shade the light, When thus placed, and the egg turned gently round, a top would spin, the hollow or vacuum.about half an !nch in diameter, will be distinctly seen inside the egg.Now, it this hollow be exactly on the top, the egg will produce a cock; if on the side, it will produce a hen.If the egg has no vacuum or hollow, eRher on the top or side, no one in the secret would place any such under the hens for Incubation.or in the hope of Its hatching.Acting upon thia principle, another writer in the same periodical had eight cock birds and two pul- lots from ten of his largest eggs; and from ten amailer ones hatched, there were elght pullets and two The magnitude of the eggs, irrespective of their forms seems, in these cases, to h been the relative distinctions; and without very deep philosophy it may be assumed in the Instance that the embryo of the larger and stronger sex will be by creative wisdom, encased in the larger shell.which will contain the more abundant supplies of nourishment for it.The late Geo.P.Burnham, of Massachusetts, said that this ts one secret which he was never able to fathom, but which at that time he read was claimed could be disclosed I: someone out west From this old writing of his we quote: * \u2018Although, as we have stated, none can determine by seeing the shell, ; which sex of chickens may issue from it when the egg Is hatched.yot it is quite possible, through certain methodical management In mating adult breeding fowls.to obtain from thelr eggs a majority of one sex or the other in the product.\u2019 , A few years ago a whole season's hatchings of Light Brahma chicks in our own yards\u2014numbering nearly six hundred birds\u2014yielded us three- fourths oockerels.And that same Year, a score of our patrons to whom we sent eggs for incubation, reported like results.\u2018All cocks, no pullets, scarcely,\u201d thev declared.Next season we changed the matings in our breeding pena entirely, and for a year or two had average good success, so far as the sex of our birds was concerned.In 1874 we bred over four hundred chicks.in conjunction with Mr.Weymouth.and that year we raised less than forty cock chickens, all told.About eighty-five percent proved pullets: some were fine, most of them fuir, only.Individually, we do not deem it of consequence to know (If we could) what are to be the sexes of chicks we may produce since nature herself regulates this thing pretty evenly.ordinarily.But If in mating fowls for breeding.we put together two aexes that agree well, who incline to enjoy each other's aoclety: and if we keep them quiet.peaceable, free from alarm by day or hy night, If they are well fed and cared for sya- tematically, a large majority of pui- lets will be the result of such unions -nds turning downwards.These would hatch rocks.Those that turned small ends downward held female germs.he declared.Thousands of exgr were net upon this recommendation, but no one ever succeeded In determining anything through this stupid proposition.Then the dincnvery was made by a Yankee that if you gathered your fresh eggs In 4 straw hat (It must be a straw hat), and shook them up vigorously, those found at the top of the mass and set would give male birds, while all underneath would be found to contain pullets.Either one of these modes of discovery is quite as certain as the other.And when we are able to determine from outward demonstrations prior to birth what Is the sex of the mare's coming foal, the cow's approaching calf, the ewe's maturing lamb, we may able possibly to guesa what the sex of the chickens 1s in the unbatch- od _exg.Thin 1s ane of the \u2018secrets\u2019 (whatever quacks may promise to develon) which we opine will forever remain unrevenled

feeding of poultry is apt to be allowed to take care of itself rather more than during the winter, because it seems to have becoms a simple matter.The necessity for providing the fowls with every item of thelr dlet when housed up closely, keeps the \u2018attendant watchful all the time, and often this is the season when the best results are obtained.When spring opens up.however, it looks as it the fowls could do some foraging for themselves, and the close attention ts relaxed, until one naturally falls Into & careless, haphasard way of feeding the birds.Possibly, where frea range is provided this method might be followed without noticeable evils resulting.But the penned up city flock is no better situated in relation to foraging ground than it was in the winter.The occasional foolish insect that ventures within the pre- cincta of the hen-yard, fe quickly caught and executed, but the chances to participate in the game are entirely too few to supply the demand for animal food.Then there is a green feed.We tramp over fresh green luwns and ses nice bunches of clover along the roadside, and are apt to forget that inside the chicken yard not a blade of green is to be seen.while the longing for such food i» always present.We remember that it takes variety to keep the hens In egg-producing condition in winter, and naturally to make the young fleck grow the beat.the well-varied ration should be kept up.Meany pouitry yards in the city are just as small a corner as the owner feels like sparing.from his little garden, and the chicks are kept confined closely to keep them within bounds also.These small spots have long since forgotten how to produce grass or other green feed.How necessary then to be just as careful with the summer feeding ag we aré in winter.We are inclined to Ceel that is eggs are cheaper in summer the keeping up 0\u2018 the egk supply is not so Important then, but there is the feed to pay for Just the same, and the hens must produce mere eggs at the lower price in order to keep up the profit end of the business.The question of what the feeding rations should consist of is not so important aa the matter of making it = varied ome, grain of some kind, meat of some kind, and green foqd of some kind, with lots of fresh clean water always, covers this point.For the benefit of those who may not have learned the method of supplying green food by sprouting oats, not only doing this, dut increasing the bulk of the fold, the following directions might be used: Soak the oats for twenty-four hours and then turn them into a bux or basket which will not hold water.Moisten the cats night and morning, turning them over with the hand until the sprouts appear.They will very soon throw out roots If set In à warm place near the stove.When this happens spread them nut about an inch thick on trays of any kind that are easiest to make.After that do not disturb the oats, but keep them well moistened.In a short time there will be & sod about three inches thick that will be relished by the hens in & way that will de your heart good to see.Feed only what they will sat up clean.and by starting a new lot every few days the green food question is solved, and the cost reduced at the same time It other ment food is hard to get.try breeding maggots: Mix bran and water to a sloppy condition, and Jot stand in the sua for a day or two.It does not take Rt long to turn into a pallful of lively white maggots that wilt start diddy singing the song we all enjoy to hear.\u2018The whole matter resolves itself Into the question of making nature's conditions as near as possible available for the hens and chicks that are shut up.and the attention to detail is almost Mmvarisoly well rewarded.!

It is of much greater importance to guard against the entrance of disease germs.than to fight them when they have secured a hold.Many schools in the country and some in the city are scrubbed but once & year.Try to imagine the kind of homes we would have if they were kept on the same principle.I sincerely hope that in many localities the women will follow the gnod example of Dunham Institute and make & declded effort to improve the condition of the schoolhouse and surroundings.PLAYGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN.1 wonder how much the average woman in the country on & hundred acre farm realizes the immense problem of the women who live in congested areas in the large cities.It is always worth while when looking on the bright side avhg moval, and 1 sawed and chopped them up and got at least à cord of wood from them.We didn't make mournful work of our ecsnomies.We thought that wouldn't pay.We seasoned ail our privations end discoveries with jokes, and kept happy snd merry through alt.And it ts s curfous fact that we actually ssved more money that year on a reduced incomes than we hed in all those other five, when we had our 88 a doy.That was my wife's thrift.Now 1 am getting my old pay again, but we have decided to stay where we sre\u2014~The \u2018Clrele.\u2019 A WONDERFUL ADDRESS.The Blequanss of an Indian Prines.Among quesr addresses of welcome the following euriosity, presented recently on behalf of an Indian prinee to Baron Maréinge of Penhurst.i.e new alcaroy of Indie.is worth mou- 0!

He was thankful ¢o know that in her present state she was safe from the knowledge of what wes past, safe trom the sound of the shame to come.He hag not meant to see Sylvia aguin; he dreaded the look of her hatred, her scorn, but thers, outside her mother\u2019s bed, she ly, apparently asleep.Mrs.Robeon, too, was slesp- ng, her face towards the wall Philip could not help it; he went to have one ast look at his wife.She was turned towards her mother, her face averted from him; he could see the tear-stains, the swollen eyelids, the lips yet quiv.erinx He stooped down, and bent to kiss ha little hand that ly listless by her aide.As his hot bresth nearsd that hand it was twitched away, and a shiver ran through the whole prostrate body.And then he knew that she was not asleep, only worn out by her misery\u2014misery that ho had caus- He sighed heavily; but he went away, downstairs, and away for ever.Only as he entered the parlor his eyes caught on two siihoueties, one of himself, one of Bylvis, done in the first month of their marriage, by some wandering artist, if so ha could be called.They were hanging agsinst the wall in little oval wooden frames: black profiles, with the lights done in gold; about as pour Bemblancee of humanity as could be conceived; but Philip went up, and after looking for a minute or so at Bylvia's, he took it flown.and buttoned his waistcoat over t It was the only thing he took away from his home.He went down the entry on to the quay.The river was there, and waters, they say.have a luring power, and à weird promise of rest in their perpetual monotony of sound.But many people were there, if such a temptation presented itself to Philip's mind; the sight of his fellow-townsmen, perhaps of his acquaintances, drove him up another entry\u2014the town is burrowed with such\u2014back Into the High street, which he straightway crossed into a well-known court, out of which rough steps led to the summit of the hill, and on to the fells and moors beyond.(To be continued.) rer CHILDREN'S CORNER, LAURA'S ESUAPR (By Margaret Whitney.\u2018Mamma,\u2019 sald Laura, mayn't I go over to grandma's a little while?The men are finishing the new bridge and I want to see them put it in place.\u2018You will have to take Harold with you and look after him carefully if you go.sald her mother.\u2018I must finish this dress for Emma Ward this evening.She is going home early in the morning and it must be done to-night.\u201d *All right,\u2019 said Laura.\u2018TI!

Japanese have their own standard, just as the Americans have theirs.Without the least Intention of attempting to decide which of these is generally best, it may still be of some slight interest to our American readers to learn just what the Japan- eso idea as to the wifely qualities really are Kalseki Matsumura, widely known in Japan as an essayist, pre- sonts the Japanese view very clearly in a recent issue of one of the Tokyo asines.\u201d .\u2018He says that a wife comes within ons of the following five classes: (1) the stupid wife.(2) the foolish wife.(3) the unruly wife.(4) the sagactous wife, and (6) the good wife.By a stupid wife he explains that he means one neither slovenly, shrewish nor mean.\u2018S8he 13 a stupid woman by birth.She does not know that when there le à visitor zhe ought, in accordance with Japanese etiquette, to serve tea and cakes quickly, nor at mealtime to invite the visitor to partake of food.She is never punctual and will keep her friends waiting at her door while she is leisurely putting more paint on her face.These are har sallent features.The Foolish Wife.\u2018A foolish wife 1s one who is uselessly secretive and talkative by turns.If you think her good-natured, you are mistaken.At times she will be found taxing her feeble mind with some sly thoughts.She cannot be taught.Bhe cannot remember.She may rouse herself, but for no longer a period than two or three days.Such a wife seems to have been too silly for even such philosophers as Buddha, Confucius and Socrates.Buddha sald that women were full of sin.Confucius said that he could not teach women or petty men.Socrates found material for meditation in the fact that his wife made a practice of throwing a bucketful of water over him oocasionally.Christ did not marry.and therefore wan free from any such unpleasant experic ce.He is the only sage who speaks well of woman.\u201cAn upruly wife is neither stupid nor foolish.She may be educated, intelligent and generally capable.She may be popular with her visitors and neighbors, but she ls capricious, wayward and moody.She gives with the utmost freedom to one she likes, and yet grudges even to move & finger for one she disiiken.She can be a saint or a fury at a moment's notice.When she 18 happy she will babble endiees- ly.When she is sullen she will not even respond to your call \u2018One morning she will rise early and next day she will sleep till moon She does not mind if by her forwardneas she shall place her husband in an awkward or embarrassing position with his friends or relatives.If he frets she frets the more.If he goes to his club she would go to the theatres.If he spends money she will decide to spend some more.a and a divorce is the old story of a union.The Bagaclous Wife.\u2018A magacious wife is neither foolish nor forward.She is shrewd and capable, knows how to manage other people and has her own opinions.She is respected by her friends and admired by people generally.She is methodical in her work and knows what is wanted before she is asked.\u2018People may say that a man would be of but little use in the world save for such a wife, but the truth is that while sich a wife is indispensable for an incapable man, she may still prove only an obstruction to a man who is abler and more experienced than she is.Her conceit will make her believe that without her advice her husband can only blunder.She will criticize everything he does, so that from mere spite he may often do things contrary to her advice.Then she will declare, with a toss of her head: \u201cYou may do as you like.I will have mothing to do with this matter.You are so very clever!\u201d Or, if she did not say this, she would, at say rate, think it She cannot sympathize; so that she who is merely a sagacious wife must prove unmanageable even to a man of decided ability.\u201cThe ideal wife is the good wife.she te, of course, not stupid, having in reality more wisdom than the saga ctous wife, but she makes no attempt to display her cleverness.She may be educated, but she is not the sort, that is determined to impress the bystander with her education.She has her own opinions, but is chary of expressing them unless there is à sound reason for doing so.*Bhe knows that love conquers avery- thing and that only good can result from loving her husband, so that even in matters of which ~he more or fess disapproves she ls sympathetic and encouraging.In this respect she is & sort of philosopher, and in such 8 marriage it is the husband who seeks her advice, because he can be sure of he¥p and s7 PART A

the wages, which generally include food and lods- ing, seem smaller; the hours are longer; the methods of working are strange; and the engagement offered him will probably be only for a season.After the busy time is over he finds that he must look about for fresh work.On a balancing of advan- he may decide for a town life.Should he do so, however, he will make a serious mistake.Secondly, the settler should not, If he has his way to make, be a married man.On this point-\u2014the subject lately of not a little criticism of Australis as a settling place\u2014the commission has a good deal to say.A visit to the Emigrants\u2019 Home in Perth, where accommodation is provided for three days free, and at very moderate rates for seven days more, revesied the fact that single emigrants obtain situations very much quicker than do married ones On the sixth day after landing only twenty singls men had not found employment, but the married couples had been less fortunate.\u2018Some of them without children had found employment on farms; some had placed their families in lodgings, and had gone to the country as single men; but so far as we could learn not one of the married men with children had yet got a situation on a farm where his wife and children could go with him .The people most wanted in Australie, snd other things being equal, most likely to make good citizens are undoubtedly married couples with children.It is therefors a dia- tinct misfortune for the Commonwealth that such people bave, in common honesty, to be warned that they may find it difficult to get situations in country service where their familles can remain with them.This ls recognized acknowledged by everybody: and it may be hoped and even expected that efforts will be made by private employers and also by the State Governments to refhedy such a serious evil.While the problem ls by no means an easy one, it should not pass the wit of man to solve; mor can it be altogether ignor- od by the progressive statesmen of the Commonwealth.\u2019 This \u2018boycott of married couples is the more astonishing since the commissioners found that throughout Aus- traila \u2018the economic pressure of daily affairs carried on at a disadvantage from the scarcity of workers, along with the state policy of closer settls- ment, formed a conjunction of circumstances which were focused in the common saying, \u2018Australia\u2019s chief want is the want of population.\u2019 in addition to Its retarding effect on population the policy has a defluttely bad influence, the commissioners think, on local morals: \u201cThe gathering together of numbers of unmarried men in quarters sometimes none too comfortable, with times of leisure for which no entertainment or recreation is provided, Is not calculated to improve the morals of the district or the contuntment of the men themselves.\u2019 The report deals briefly but thoroughly with the chief means by which farms can be acquired in the Commonwealth.The beginner, after he has served his apprenticeship and If he has not much means at his dis- ususlly gets & farm on the share system.Under this be is vided by his landlord with land a house, stock, and implements.and for his part provides all labor and hands over to the landlord a proportion of ail profits that varies from a half to two- irée But share-farming fs, after ), a makeshift, and ultimatsly the settier will want to have entire own- SARIS STNOFSIS OF CANADIAN NORTE.WEST LAND REGULATIONS.Any person who is the so: te\" family, or any mais over 18 years c: may homestead a quarter section oF available Dominion à in Manitoba, Baskatchewan or Alberta.The app! e must appear in person at the orminios Lands Agency or Sub-Agency for th: District, kntry by prozy ue made at any agency.on certain conditions, dy father, mother, son, daughter, brother or sister of intending homesteader.Duties\u20148ix months\u2019 residep.a up.and cultivation of the land in each of three yearn A homeateader lve within nine miles of his homest on a farm of at least $0 acres solely oWRau aud occupied by him, [a by his father.son, daughter, or or 8 .cod certain districts a hor.Fria ing may pre-empt & quart.- section alongaide his Domestead: Prise $3.00 r acre.\u2014Muat reside upon the homestead or pre-emption six months In each of aix years from dats of homestead on.try (including the time required to eara homestead patent) and cultivate fifty n'y omantesd who has omes: er æxrhausted à homestead right and cannot obtain \" pre-emption may enter for & purchased Price $3.06 pes acre.Duties.\u2014M months in each of three Youre, okcivats 0:53 acres and erect @ house werth 3300.00.w.W.CORT, Deputy of the Minister of the Interior.N_B.\u2014Unau publication ot thorized advertisement will not be paid for.ership of a farm.He may get this on Crown land which has never before hesn sold, on resumed land offered for sale by the state, or on land privately\u2019 offered.for sale.The main thing is that he should not acquire any land until he has been long enough in Australia to judge the value of his investment: \u201cIt would be quite a mistake to suppose that the new-comer can at once have the offer of à good farm cut out of the Crown lande He can always .get inferior land near a rallway and good land far from a railway, but really good blocks within reach of a line are so much in demand that they are snapped up practically as soon as they are thrown open for settlement.\u2019 The progressive land tax of the present Government is doing much to make easy of access the second kind of land\u2014that which 1s carved out in.parcels from the large estates used till now for pasture.As this is the kind of land that will be)most sought after by settlers, a description of a typical plece of the kind by the commissioners is valuable: \u2018 \u201cThe estate of Gunnible, nuar Gun- nedah, in New South Wales, consist- fifty-three farms of from 40 to $40 acres each, and the lots were put up to auction last November.We Inspected the estate before the sale and found it to be fairly good farming land.A wheat crop of thirty bushels an acre had already been grown on part of it.and there was practically po clearing to be done; water could be got anywhere by sinking down 0 to 35 feet: the rainfall was reported to.be 26 inches.and some of the blocks adjoined the river Namod and the town of Gunnedah.On these river flats lucerne and maize were sald to ~ do well.The result of the sale was that, with the exception of three blocks, everything was sold, the reserve prices being geneially exceeded.The river blocks made from £10 10s to £16, and the back blocks from I 108.to £8 ia, the averages of the whole being about £6 Sa.an acre.The buyers were nearly all local people, and the terms of sale were exceedingly liberal, b peroent of the money being cash, and the balance being spread over nineteen years with interest at 5 percent.\u2019 The report goes with great detail into the expenses, for agricultural implements and the like, and the dangers from rors peculiar to Australia which the settler will have to face.Tt pays generous tribute to the very efficient sys tem of agricultural education throughout the Commonwealth, and points out that the sum spent on this fs 1% 64.per head of the population.as against 24.in Britain.In general it may bs sald that tha commissions have spoken with the farmer In his fields, the dairyman in his milking- shed, the pastoralist among his and the timber-grower in his fl * reserve, and have obtained from or : av comprebensive account of what ural\u2019 Australis has to offer to the emigrant.eres WBALTE OF FRANKFORE.(U.S.Consular end Trade Reporté) \u201cer hay insects, drought, and other ter- | ARN SIRO WITT \u2014p me, tars =A a my \u201ca an ing of 10,000 acres, was diveded into - - où >. Pe WORLD'S MISSIONARY EDUCATION MOVEMENT.| The question of changing the name of the Young People's Missionary ovement has confronted ita leaders for several yesrd, because the name Joes not define the purposes nor pro- verly characterise the activities of the inovement.A proposal to change the name was referred by the Board of Managers to à special committee, and after a year of careful study it was unanimously voted to adopt the name Missionary Education Movement, which the Su- vreme Court 0f New York has or- tered to be effective July 10, 1911.The name, Missionary Education Movement, is similar in form to the two other great \u2018educational agencies of the country, the National Education Association and the Religious Education, and will tend to give mis- xionary education its proper place in the educational world.The former name not only aug- gosted primary connection with young peopie's societies, but it also falled to «indicate the comprehensive nature of the policies and objectives of the Movement.The use of the phrase.Young People\u2019s has resulted in the general inference that it is an organi- ration of young people, and confined to the fleld of young people's societies.This limitation has been noticeable in practically all apptoaches to ministers or groups of laymen, when seeking co-operation in reference to any de- jartment of work.The purpose of the Movement in relation to young people is not altered, nor are its practices changed, but it in keeping pace with extensive educa- \u2018ional developments in the Boards, resulting In an enlarged fleld of activity .The work of the educational \u201clepartments of several mission boards has undergone an extension.Some have included, in their constituency.brotherhoods and colleges.and all have come to recognize the need for missionary education among adults.Moreover, thers has been a growing tendency on the part of the Mission Boards to look to this Movement for co-operation in all lines of missionary education.These developments recogfilse the Movement as an agency to assist all Boards In promoting missionary education for any class, zroup, of constituency.and on any subject of sufficlently common inter- cst to warrant one agency in acting for several others.\u2018Thus the Foreign Missions Confer- ance pf North America at its session in 191] appointed a committee on cooperative publications, and requested this Movement to act as the agency for the preparation of this material.The Home Missions Counell at Ite January meeting thie year also re- auestéd the Movement to render a siml service for the Home Mission Furthermore, the incorporation of missiénary expositions in the policy of the Movement has siso emphasised the mecessity of a name adapted to the inclusion of this importent activ- ty.The Missionary Education Movement is a federation of the Home and Torelgh Mission Boards to promote missionary educatisn.Ir Is unier \u2018he dfrectien of repretentatives of the Boards.In addition to the activities referred to above, the Movement edits and publishes home und foreign mission study text-books, helps for leaders, and maps, charts, libraries, and other accessory material for usp by the Boards in all departments of the local church.All of the iiterature ls sold at wholesale prices tp the Boards and retailed by them JS {duals in the local church.\u2018The Movement also conducts institutes and summer conferences for the training of leaders for the Mission Boards.The name Missionary Education ovement gives a correct idea of the organization.It ts a missionary or- zanigation.an educational organization, and a Movement.There are other missionary organizations, other educational organizations, other Movements, but this combines the three ideas represented by these worda The name Missionary Education Movement clearly represents the purpose and truly Indicates the nature of the work and the comprehensive character of the constituency of the Movement.teen SEVEN MILLIONS AND NO DOCTOR.'S.Pollard, in the \u2018Christian World.) Is there any one with imagination keen enough to picture what would happen if all the hospitals in London were \u2018Closed, if all the surgeons disappeared, and it not a single doctor or trained nurse were left to care for the sfck of the world\u2019s greatest city?London without a doctor! Beven mil- ions of men.women and children hearing thelr sicknesses alone! I remember well nursing a brave romrade through a severe attack of smallpox when the nearest doctor was two months\u2019 journey from us.and the nearest telegraph station was a fortnight away.That was nearly a Quarter of 8 century ago.Many things have changed since then, but many bad things still remain.The Chinese province of Kweichow, in the north-west corner of which T \u201cm writing this, has a population estimated at seven milMons.There is not a doctor in the whole of this pro- \u201cince.Missionaries are working in nine centres, but although several of these missionaries are married women, there is no medical missionary :n the whole number.The sister province of Yunnan, rujed by the same viceroy, And having twelve millions of people, Js a little better nff, for normally there are three medical missionaries working in it.At present, however, two of thesa are on furlcugh, ind the lady missionary doctor of the United Methodist Mission at Chaotong Fu is the only medical missionary in the two provinc~v amang about twenty miiliona of people.In connection with the French Consular service at Yunnan Fu, and with the Chinese imperial Customs at three centres.thers are officiel doctors.who in the Atter case care for the foreigners, and In the former for natives as well.fr.Yunnan, therefore, one can get medical help in four or five different places.In Kweichow, however, no medical help ie obtainable.Sevan millions and no doctor! London without medical help! Do theses seven millions need med!- cal help?A few weeks ago I heard of & family near my home where fever was reg- ins 3 walked the few miles to the village where the sick people lived and then through mud snd snow ma.my way to the poorest house in the very poor village.Pushing my way through a half-open door made of hamboos, and quite incapable of keep- Ing out the wind or cold, 1 found myself in one of poorest homes I have \u201cor been in.There was but one room, and that was partly under- frou: The hillside and some rocks rame*right into the room.A few sheave of bracken wars piled up one side of the door to help keep out the \u201cold, and on the othet sjde of this \u201cracken were à man and his wife and -âree children on the mud flcor, all fi with typhoid fever.There was no beddifig at afl, and the almost naked mother, burning with the merciless tever, was trying to feed at her breast 4 thin half.gtarved baby, who was Qrivelled up with the heat of the in- ES RES WELFARE | ternal fire.No one dared come in to nurse them, for sll the villagers were terrébly afraid of \u2018the black disease, as it is termed.A brother of the father used to bring a jug of water each day and place it outside the hamboo door.No one else would come near.As 1 sat down by the side of thie group of poverty-stricken, typhold.smitten people my heart was tull of sympathy and of fierce rebellion.How wished I could telephone tor a doctor and a trained nurse! But 1 was in Kweichow, a province t ger than Englend, and no doctor in the whole province! Why ell this suffer- tag and this terrible loneliness in the twentieth century after Chriat?[shall not forget how that typhold mother with the typhoid baby looked at me as she sat on the mud floor in her dirt and nakedness.I wish I could make every Christian in Engiand (eel that look, with its burning dread and frightened terror.AS.the mother looked at the little one she asid, \u2018He never smiles now, teacher.Leaving that home of misery, and with a sad, rebellious heart I walked down to another poor home in the same village, where a few days before 1 had called to see a young girl of ssventesn who also was stricken with typhold.Here again the poverty of the home was distressing.The walls were open all around, the wind came in everywhere and the enow-cold danced about, pinching everybody and exulti in its power to torture and stab.he patient was lying on the floor with an old, undressed goat-skin between her and the earth.Her Lead, with its unkempt.but beautiful long tresses, wes resting on & hard board, and à few potatoes in a small basin showed what her diet was.Her brother, who had just recovered from the same fever, was her nurse, but was not able to do much.How such a beautiful girl as this would have been cared for at home! The white sheets and the soft qulit, the nurse's gentle touch and the doctor's skillful care! I smoothed the uncombed hair and touched gently the forehead that had been unwashed for days, and tried to make the fever patient feel a little of the sympathy we feit for her.I told her how we had missed her from the services, and how Jesus loved her, and how we wanted her to get strong again scon.Bhe was too 1ll to smile back.My eyes and face smiled, but in my heart there were rebellion and indignation.Why, in the twentieth century, should there be a province of seven millions left with- cut one follower of the Great Phys\u2018cian goîng about with heallng touch and life-giving sympathy?A few days ago one of my friends, a Miao preacher, came into my study in distress.He had been visiting à village about thirty miles away, and had found a mother who had just dled.She had given birth to a little daughter, and then complications ensued.A doctor could, I think, easily have saved the mother.But the doctor was not to be had.The mother died, but the little girl lived.Then came the problem what to do witb the little one.There wes no ope to feed it, and it was proposed to bury the baby with the mother, My friend stopped this tragedy, and mow cam to know what could be dons with the rescued little lassie.About ten miles from the same place a mother died In similiar circumstances.The friends were apparantly helpless, and when the grave was dug and the coffii pieced together in the grave while the dead body of the mother was ling on the ground by the mide, there was à motheriess baby lying near by hungry \u2018and helpiess: The dead Mother was lifted Into the coffin, and then the living little girl was placed by her aide.The lid of the co was placed firmly on the top, the grave was filled tn, à few brambles were thrown over this to keep away marauding wolves or ghoulish dogs, and the men wont home.Who heard the cry of.the little one?The children ars suffering and moth ers are dying, and there is the cry of pain in the land, the terrible, desolating cry of poverty, loneliness and great agony.And this is the twentieth century after the Great Phys!- cian broke His heart for & sinful, suffering world! pr MISSIONS IN TBE SUNDAY- SCHOOL.ym the Report

Into making this present age an unparalleled missionary opportunity.snere is, first of all, the fact that tae world itself is so well known and now lies open to the largest possible freedom of travel.Intrepid souls have salled every wes and surveyed all the continents.The last dwelling place or the most re mote citizen of the globe has been found.And through modern means of transportation and communication, all the people on our planet are now accessible to the Gospel story.The t century has made of the en- Pre world one vast neighborhood, a some day the dissemination of the Truth as it is in Jesus.will make of all mankind a Chrisauan brother- hood\u2014an all-embracing empire of ove.Then, £00, missionary successes ain- gle out the present age as one of real opportuneness One short generation he fret Christian con- ptized in Uganda; today nearly a Christian nation.A few yesrs ago Korea was a hermit ingdom, tighty sealed egainst every influence of the Gospel; to-day a Korean Christian community of a hundred thousand is asking God for the conversion of a million souls.Our generation has seen as many souls baptized In one day as were baptized on the day of the first Pentecost.And not long since there passed into the more radiant presence of his Master, the soul of him who sav the stacked bones of a cannibalistic feasts, and yet who lived to see the day when these Christianized cannibals partook of the Lord's Supper.The record of such marvellous work le the Acts of the Apostles lived over again.However, by far the greatest huri- tame from the modern inissionang enterprise, is the mas of the lan- œuages of men.It is almost past be- itef that to-day the story of the re- - Prayer is vital to genuine Christian all but « few fractions of millions of the children of men.ænd tue truth that is to make all men free, is now roclatmed in thirty times as many [anguages as were spoken on the day of Pentecost.Many noble foundations have been luid by the apostles ana prophets nf the divine enterprise of Christian missions.Urowing Christian communities witness the faithful planting of that seed whose harvesting shall make giad the angels of God.Established hospitals wuich bear the sufferings of many, printing resses whone leaves are for the heul- ng of the nations, Christian churches and educational opportunities as free as the air in a multitude of heathen lands are saying, \u2018Whosoever will, may come.\u2019 And they are coming\u2014 coming faster than in any other age, not excepting the early days of tha Christian church.And, too, the mis- slonary enterprise itself is becoming more Christian every day, a the beautiful spirit of charity and co-op- eration Is winning an ever widenin, sway over the minds and hearts o men.And the present is an age of al- mast missionary enthusiasm in the Church at home.Missions have su far captured the Imagination of our youth that the largest gathering of atudents on the American continent 1s the convention of the Student Volunteers for Foreign Missions.And the men of Christendom -\u2014no less devoted than the rest, but lacking lead- ership\u2014have lately undertaken thelr full share of responsibility in obedience to the Master's final command.Few greater sights have ever gladdened the eyes of the oft weary watcher on the walis of Zion than to see the hosts of men assemble to plan the Christian conquest of the continents.The fleld campaign of the Laymen's Missionary ovement will long remain one of the most inspiring events in recent church history, and prophetic of what wiil be when the Church is thoroughly mill- tant and missionary.While the successful Woman's Jubllee\u2014 comma: rating fifty years of beautiful ministry on the part of Western woman in Eastern lands\u2014Iis of unusual mis- slonary significance, as wel las a tribute to the organizing abflity of the consecrated women so well trained in missionary leadership.\u2018That during the past few years several million copies of missionary bool have been sold, is an evidence of the depth znd the genuineness of the present mis- slonary awakening.And lately the effectiveness of large missionary expositions has been successfully demonstrated by the \u2018Orient in London, and a similar striking presentstion of the \u2018World In oston.\u201d Then, too, it is not to be lost sight of that the recent World's Sunday School Convention in Washington was a great missionary gathering.And we may well believe, with the best Informed, that the World's Missionary Conference last year In Edinburgh marked the beginning of à new era in the missionary enterprise.MISSIONS IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.Into a needy world so full of promise for evangelization and into & Church finally awakening to its supreme missionary obligation, comes the modern Sunday School, gathering in its vast membership the most responsive ages in life and holding in its possibilities the key to the missionary situation.The place of the Sunday School In the missionary enterprise is In every way strategic.For in the Sunday School there Is room for every one.It has been said.\u201cMissions ls à mars job.\" If by that it 19 meant that men share with all others in the miesionery responsibility, it Is altogether true.But in reality missions is everybody's job.And it has been said, \u2018This is the only generation we can reach.\u2019 How true it i» that In an evangelistic sense, we alone can reach the generation now living.But in the methods of the Sunday School and in the plan of reaching the childhood of the race, we shall reach not only this present generation but shall also preempt all coming generations to the end of time.INTERNATIONAL MISSIONARY STANDARD.The Internatio Missionary Standard for the School, in substantial agreement with all denominational agencies, provides for the following five points ag places lor supreme emphasis : (1) Adequate Missionary Instruction.The Missionary educational campaign in every Sunday School should be comprehensive enough to reach ail ages and continuous enough to produce lasting impressions.It Is & law of our belog that we cannot be interested in that of which we know absolutely nothing.Interest in missions will be commensurate with our knowledge of and: attitude toward the enterprise which lies closest to the heart of the Master.Material for Missionary instruction Is now abundant and of splendid educational value.For in Missions we see God at work in the world right now, and the victories of the Cross aud the transforming power of the Gospel are the most effective apologetics for the divine origin of Christianity.To withhold a knowledge of missions from the growing youth of Christendom is to do them an irreparable in- 5 Definite Missionary Prayer.How true it is that everything vital in all Christian enterprise hinges on prayer.The vision of the expanding Kingdom of God has always come to men on their knees.Yet in our day of strenuous activity we are learning most everything except to pray: und prayer has almost come to be a for- xotten secret of the Christian church.Hiving, No lite can be sustained by activity alone.And much of the unreality of \u2018the spiritual is due to a lack of prayer, for epiritual reality and even God himself soon fades ou of the life of the man who does not pray.There is, then, a Inige place for such Instruction in prayer ae shall discover for the members of the Sunday School the paths wnich leac to power and to peace through th mighty ministry of .utercession.(3) Systematic Missionary Giving.Giving, to be thoroughly Christian should be systematic, proportionate progressive, perspective.hia teach {ng should he a definite part of th regular instruction in the Sunda School.Children should early he tol: all the uses to which thelr offering are devoted.For the youth and th adult there ought to be careful and prayerful Instruction fn the privilesr of Christian stewardship.And e- \u2018cause of the great educational value in giving itself.large opportunities should be provided for the how, with offerings of the Sunday School, wi the final attainment of 8 weekly pledged offering from every scholar.We cannot too often remind ourselves that they who are pressing most sarneatiy the solicitation of funds from the growing generations are, by that.making a great contribution to genuine Christian character.(4).Practical Missionary Activities.It is altogether true that we ever learn to do by doing.And most Nlks find themselves in seeking to And oth- ars.\u2018Therefore, to keep the missionary motive bright and to make pe manent the developing missionary Im- ression, An ahundant provision must made for the enlistment of all in special forme of practical missionary servie.It is thus through mission ary activity that we are to save the missionary passion from hecoming a mere pastime.Cumulatine onportu- nitles on every hand

The record is algnificant: at eight years he began to reign and at the same time seen after the God of his fathers; when he had reigned twelve years he \u2018began to purge Judah.\u2019 What he did he di\u201d well! Down came the high place with their altars; the images wers pu.verized and strewn as an object-lesson on the graves of those who had worshipped them.Six vears later he undertook the repair of the temple.the money and material having been coliected in the interval He showed wisdom in associating the officials with himself for that was & sign of its 1 being a national undertaking.and not a private plan of the king.The \u2018overseers\u201d are honored by having thelr names recorded, \u2018and the men did the work faithfuily' significant! sufficient! .- Josiah shares the laurel with Hezekiah.It fis verv simple but under all the circumstances & very expressive notation, \u2018They 41d right! ries with it great reward.For however much we may do for another, we really do fer less for them than the doing of it does for us in the development of Christian character sad the cultivation of Christian graces.In so binding the Sunday Schools into an aggressive force, is provided the mightient home missionery agency on our continent.(5) Enlisting Missionary Recruits.For this is needed auch spiritual discernment as wili enable the Sunday School teacher to note the deepening missionary desire on the part of the pupil, and to ald into bringing to fruition the high forming purpose to devote the life to the extension of the Master's Kingdom.No Christian youth living in,a deeply religious atmosphere goes out of the teen age they turned neither to right nor left!\" THRE TEACHER'S LANTERN.Josiah stands high in the long catalogue of those who have done great deeds in their youth.filled all the world with uneartnly music before he was thirty-five and Raphael save us all his glowing esn- vasses befors he reached that age;

the slaves were freed and the white trad- or was severely reprimanded.When the sisves were told they could 20 where they pisased they strangely chose to remain with their old master.But where could they go?They could never find their way back into the interior, and they were doubtless afraid that without @ homg they would be seized by some orle else.Their master was charged that he must no longer consider them as Slaves.out Jar them, regular wages em to leave whenev they wished.False charges made by certain trad- ors against the missionaries were not confirmed.The officials Informed the missionaries that within a year rum selling would be prohibited in the re- glon, though wine might be allowed out of deference to the grape growers of Portugal.The suggestion of the missionaries, that a school should be opened Tor white and mulatto children, was beartily approved by these government representatives, who declared that children would be sent from the coast, that the school wou'§ be sure to draw a large patronage, and that the governor general would be greatly pleased at such an arrangement.They went away apparently gratifed with the work of the mission.The Increasing eagerness of the people to learn to read is very encouraging.A new outstation Is to be started at & village three hours away from Ochileso, where five years ago the missionaries were not welcome: now\u201cthe whole village, including the chief, is eager for a school.In expectation of it, some young men have bought primers and arc «aching themselves, encouraged by a visit from one of the outstation young men, who in two days gave them quite & start.They propose to build a house for a teacher and a schoolhouse richt away.Other villages are asking for teachers.and therc are fine openings for achools.Additions to the station communities are constantly being made, mostly of young families or young People \u2014 à very desirable class.THE G0O0D DONE BY CARRIE NATION.(From the \u2018Literary Digest.)

Chris was made welcome and nvited to supper.Afterwards they all sat round tte fire for a time, before the women ro- tired to the waggon for the night.It was almost like another plenic, save that they were no longer merry.The shadow of to-morrow's parting was wv them ail; even the Irreprossidie twins were allent, or conversed only in whispers.Before they separated, John Gran- vlile read a chapter from the Bible\u2014 a custom that he seldom omitted, und that to-night secmed peculiarly sol.«mn and significant.He selected the Forty-sixth Psalm.\u2018God ls our refuge and strength.\u20ac very

the flickering glow of the fire, which lllumined the faces round {t, but scarcely touched the small printed page.Joyce watch- od the faces and mused over them.as she listened dreamlly to her father's deep, steady voice.Chris and Mamie sat hand in hand, very still; her mother's gentle face was aad, but still serene; her father's also serene, his voice confident, Did the wurds-brave and noble,

the ages recorded in history, there were always wars and rumors of wars, sorrow and suffering everywhere The whole thing was to her a hopeles tangle, and yet her father and mother seemed to have unravelled that tangle, to their own satisfaction at least, as plenty of other people had: for instance, Plet Andre and hls invalid wife, Chris\u2019 ther and mother\u2014devout people, ba'h.Most of their Boer neighbors were Ge- vout In thelr own way.But what was their way 7 What was thelr point of view ?Narrow and purely personal.She knew well that just now ihe Psalm most In vogue .mong them #15

folk who held the same idea exactly inverted.As for herself \u2014here was the \u2018personal point of view again, the inherent egotism of human nature\u2014she was desperately unhappy, but why ?Simply because the world did not wag well according to her ideas.Thus she decided in utter seif- abasement.Long after the others had fallen asleep and stience reigned over the hit- tle camp and the adjacent township.she lay in her narrow bunk, Btretched across the waggon, utterly tired out in soul and body, but unable to sleep and afraid to move lest she should disturb the others, whose Tegular breathing told her that they were safely In the land of dreams.But at last kind Nature had her way, and Joyce, too, fell asleep, One untoward Incident marred tne \u2018send-off\u2019 from the primitive little station next morning.Mrs.Granville had described to T1- lele, as well as she could, the train that was to carry them southward- the dumb maid had never been as far as the raliway depot\u2014and she had appeared to understand.Also, in her rap!d, expressive pantomime, she had repeatedly emphasized her delight at being allowed to accompany her mistress and her adored little charge.But when she reached the station, carrying Babs, who waa in a 8 ecslatic delight and excitement, her arms, and saw the strange monster there, with that queer, humped, sporting thing In front, Lalele\u2019scoun- tenance changed.She approached it slowly and with increasing uneasiness, Aas she drew near, the engine started to \u2018blow off steam,\u2019 emitting the usu- al ear-plercing shrieks in the process, Lalele stopped short, her comely dark face turning blue-grey, her eyes starting out of her head with fear and horror.Then, swinging Babs from her shoulder, she sat her dow: awiftly but gently, turned, and fled, uttering a serles of Inarticulaie screams, rivalling the engine whistle for shiliness.There was a guftaw from à sma!l\u2019 lounging crowd of onlookers, and blacks, who, however, effort to detaln her.After one moment's pause of consternation, Lorna and Toodles started in pursuit, together with two or three of the Granvilles* retainers, who.having grasped the situation, tried to head off the fugitive, It was uselesw, for Lalele, her feet winged with sheer terror, outstripped them easily, tearing off her outer garments and flinging them away as she ran.The last they saw of her was a black and white speck far off on the veldt, The twins abandoned the cha: soon as they realized that it was hop.less, and returned, breathiess and laughing\u2014the

, Joyce might have retorted that that was his fauit-and Mamic's\u2014but she did not.She never even thought of such a thing, nor did she consciously realize, just then, that it was through her sister's departure that she had Caris all to herself once more.Vrouw Andre\u2014Mrs.Andre, as the Granvilles always called her\u2014welcomed ther very kindly.Bhe was & thin, sallow, dark-eyed woman, very dir- ferent from the typical Boer Vrouw, That looks a most charming church somewhat inclined to fretfulness, partly ia consequence of continued ill- health and partly perhaps because of the limitations of her life.It was from her that Chris had inherited his intellect; certainly not from his father, a sturdy, good-hu- mored, commonplace individual, with no mental aspirations whatever.R was she who, by dint of alternate coaxing and scolding.had won Plet Andre's grudging consent to let the boy go to England, to Oxford: and, next to her 1dolized boy\u2014her only surviving child, for all the others had died in infancy\u2014she perhaps cared more for Joyce Granville than for any one else in her little world.A mother 1s seldom entirely satisfied with her son's matrimonial cholce.Nevertheless for the last few years Elsa Andre bad eecretly indulged à hope that some day Joyce Granville would become her daughter-in-law.No one else, save perhaps she herself, understood Chris so well.She had long known that he would never settle down to farming; she did not wish him to do so.She had great ambitions for him, greater at present than he had for himself, and Joyce was the girl who would help him to realize them.Un the other hand, Mamie was emphatically Plet Andres favorite among the Granville's, the sort of girl he could admiré and understand, handsome and healthy, with à decided talent for homely housewitery.What more could any sensible men desire or expect in à wife?Therefore, when Plet discovered that Mamie was the magnet that drew Chris to Fairfontein, he chuckled com- placentiy, and was well content in the early days of the woolng to leave matters to shape themselves.Later, like every one else, he became Inoculated with the prevalent uneasiness, and foresaw that the course of his son's woolng might not run as smoothly as under other circumstances.though he himself would have given & whole-hearted consent to the match at any moment.Just before the Granville\u2019s picnic, Piet was summoned to Pretoria, whence he had not returned.Chris had not thought Ait to send him word, of the rebuff he had received fron Mamie's father, though he told his mother all about it, and she, outwardly sympathetic, was inwardly relieved, especially when she heard of the Granvilles* hurried flight.Mamle's note to Chris, which conveyed the intelligence, sald nothing whatever about Joyce.Therefore Mrs.Andre naturally concluded that her favorite had gone with the others.and it was with equal pleasure and surprise that she saw the girl ride up with Chris.Joyce feit a thrill of self-reproach when she lay awake that night in the big, stuffy four-post hed which she shared with Mrs.Andre.She had scarcely given a thought to the fusi- tives, dear though they were to her, for the time had passed so quickly, so pleasantly, with Chris and his mo- er.Pie told her all she had longed to hear through these barren weeks since his return; of his experiences at Oxford, his impressions of the places he had visited, the people he had met.During the vacations he had managed to ses & good deal, one way and another, both in England and on the Continent.The average young Englishman of Chris Andre's age and position usual- iy cherishes & sublime contempt for historical or literary associations\u2014If he takes the trouble to think about such things at all\u2014but to Chris, tne alien, as to Joyce, the colonial, WHO had studied European literature and history for love and not merely as part of 8 tedious curriculum, thoy were of paramount interest and im- nos.Pons could talk well, even sloquent- jy, when he chose, and to such a sympathetic audience as he had now, Joyce sat with flushed cheeks and bright, eager eyes, latening, commenting, questimning; examining and discussing the books and prints and photographs he had brought back with him and now fetched out fur her to ses.For the time being she was in the seventh heaven of delight, with never a thought to spare for present troubles, of which Chris himself appeared equally oblivious, but afterwaras, when Mts.Andre lay pescefully sleeping by her side, remembrance came back to Joyce with a rush.How far had the travellers gone on their way?When would her father return?With her brain still fall of abl Chris Bad told ber, she felt for the first time à regret that she was not go to nd with the others.Would they go to any of the places Chris had talked of?To London, certainiy: they were to make thelr way there fret.What would they\u2014what would Mamde\u2014think of the great bewildering city?Mamie! Why, Mamie's dea of London was avowedly of place whers there were theatres and shops which as much transcended those of Capetown as the Iatter were superior te the ordinary up-country stores! \u2018Poor, dear Mamie, she'll be like the lady whose only recollection of Rome was that she bought some stockings there,\u2019 Joyce dectded, with tolerant scorn; and she was ashamed of the thought a moment afterwards.Next morning her hostess, and Chris alec, urged her to stay with them.at least till her father returned.The glamor of the previous evening had departed from them all, and they ware once more face to face with the ties of life.\u20181 do not Hke you to be alone in these unsettled times\u2019 Mrs.Andre said anxiously.She spoke English perfeotly, but with a clippy Afrikander sccent, which curiously resembles that of the Eurasians.\u2018Oh, 1 shall be safe enough,\u2019 Joyce declared confidenuy.\u2018Why, who do you suppose would molest me, Tante Elsa?Besides, you forget that I have quite a big body-guard at home; and then I'm left in charge, you know.\u2019 \u2018Yess, yess, but it will be lonely.And ass for the body-guard, the blacks are never to be trusted.\u2019 \u2018Ours are!\u2019 laughed Joyce.\u2018But I'll promise you this much, dear, if I fesl lonely or frightened I'll come straight back to you!\u2019 \u2018Yess, yess, you must, indeed you must\u2019 Mrs.Andre insisted earnestly, and so it was arranged.The first part of the homeward ride, with Chris as escort, was pleasant enough.Without a conscious effort on eititer side, their old eomradeship was suddenly renewed; it was as though nothing had ever occurred to interrupt it.It they had forgotten Mamie last night, they made up for it to-day; for Joyce, filed with compunction for ihe faint, vague bitterness against her sister that had been in her heart of late, strove loyally to make amends.Before long she had settled everything to her own satisfaction.This stupid political trouble would blow over.Chris would return to England in time to go up for the Lent term.he was bound to see something ut least of the Granvilles on his way; he would, of course, spend the short Easter vacation with them; and they would go to Oxford for Commemoration.\u2018Perhaps father and I will be there too, for he half promised to go and fetch, mother When it is time for her 0 urn, and I dare say I should go with him,\u2019 sald Joyce.\u2018And we'd either all come home together for the \u201clong,\u201d or spend it in England\u2014that would really De, beat; you oughtn\u2019t to 0 come home again nex ear, Chris!\" ty \u2018It seems an awful long time\u2014an- other year and a half,\u2019 sighed Chr.\u2018And I've lost a whale term 1hrough this silly squabble between the Powers that be: 1 sometimes wonder if I ought to have heen so keen on an English University, Even if I take a degree eventually, it probably won't be much use to me.\u2019 Here was heresy indeed.Joyce turn- \u2018ed in her saddle and looked at him with quiek suspicion.Like a true son and daughter of the veldt, they were going at un easy canter, chatting al! the time.\u201cYou don't mean that, Chris!\" she exclaimed incredulously.\u2018Why, it's what you always longed to do.And then you are to study law and politics, and all the rest of it.and come home to take up a career here backed with all your experience.You know you've always declared that narrow- mindedness and ignorance were the curse of the country! Yes, I know, but all that means years in Europe.and there's Mamie! I'd serve and wait for her seven years, like Jacob, If it were necessary; but it 1s not! When these red-tape difn- culties with England are amoofhed.out, as they're bound to be before long.there's nothing to prevent us from marrying at once\u2014as soon as she comes back.or as soon as I go to join her in England.\u2018And your career\u2014 the place you were to take\u2014the name you were to make In the great world?Joyce cried passionately, He laughed with n touch of embarrassment, and a dusky flush rose to his lean, dark face.\u201cMamie loves me: she cares nothing about what you call place or name in the world.She would be just as happy living quletly on the farm as she would in the great world, even it 1 could give her a place and a name in it.\u2019 (To be continued.) \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 AN IMMENSE FLOWER.(From the \u2018Scientific American.)

the Quebec Government had been generous enough to make a donation towards the boarding expenses of farmers\u2019 soms, thereby reducing it to $9 a month.As they bad present at that gathering the

a hearty invitation to all to the Macdonald College.Mr.Robt.Sellars, editor of the Hun- tingdon \u2018Gleaner,\u2019 delivered a humorous, and yet pathetic speech, He rehearsed the early days of the

share of the profits.The sooner a change was made the better.He stood for equal rights, and anxiously looked forward for it in the interests of the Dominton.Manufacturer's View.Mr.Ë C.Ballantyne, dne of the Harboy Commissioners of the port of Montreal, and a large manufacturer, next addressed the gathering.It was the first time fn history of these farmers\u2019 plienics that a manufacturer had been present at one of their gatherings.Mr.Ballantyne spent the previous night in the district, and was the priacipal guest at a garden party held at Howick.At the outset Mr.Ballantyne expressed himself as feeling very much at home amongst the farmers of the district of Beauharnois, and he was proud to be present.He had been in business ever since he was 15 years of age, and up to that time he was brought up on a farm, and rejoiced that he was a son of the soll.Mr.Ballantyne returned thanks to Mr.Greig for his invitation.As for the remarks of Mr.Sellars regarding the condition of the farmers of today, he ventured to say that 28 or 30 years ago they did not have such magnificent barns as he saw around him in that particular district.In those old days they had to uss all kinds of ancient instruments to get in the crops.He rejoiced to see in that district of Beauharnois so many wealthy farmers, and sald it reflected great credit on the residents.He believed they had In that district some of the finest farms to be found in the Dominion of Canada.He had bean all over the Dominion, but had never seen such comfortable homes.There was no reason why the farmer should not prosper just the same as professional men.He rejoiced to find farmers 50 percent better off than they were 30 years ago.As to whether a manufacturer would run his plant for a paltry two or three percent, he could tell them that he was s manufacturer, and concerned in \u2018three large businesses, from which he did not rec:ve any dividend at all, so that if th~ farmers were making two or three percent profit they were much better off than manufacturers.Still he was many pleased to say it was not genera.He helleved in equaMty and that every man should have a fair re\u2018urn for his energy and work In the Dominion, be he manufacturer or farmer.The farmer had to work early and late and risk vast sums nf money, ae Many âild in such citien as Montreal.Continuing, Mr.Hallantyne sald he \u2018was not à polltielan, and hoped he never would be.Yet he admired the politiclaus of Canada for the time and ability they devoted tn the country for the paltry 32.500 a year they received.The Government of Canada, he proceeded, saw ft to clect him one of the Harbor Commirstoners at Montreal.What they were doing at the port of Muntreal was to help the farmers.They were ererting à new elevator, and only a short time ago they were asked in provide accommodation for tweniy million bushels of grain, but It required à great deal of money to carry on such puhlic work.Then they did not make any money out of the grain elevators at Montreal.The cost of keeping the channel open was a big item.Passing on, Mr.Ballantyne said he wun not a Free Trader, nor was he a high protectioniat, but he was perfectly sure that they would not have the great prosperous country of Canada to-day were It not for the ex- acllent and gigantic means of transportation which had been provided In the shape of railways and waterways, and which were stil] in course of erection.But for thowe great facilities they would never have occtipled the position they did to-day.They could not build railways on wind.Then how were they going to get thelr hundred millions?A Free Trade policy would never bring it In this world.He ald not want to get on to the question of direct taxation, but he would leave It by telling them to keep sway from free trade.AS & manufacturer of Can- ada, he only wanted what was fair and right.He agreed that the best market for the produce of Catmds was Canada, as farmers did not Want to go bupdreds of miles to sell thetr products, but to send them te -the metropolis of Canada, which was Ment real.He was anxious to see manufacturers and farmers meet oftener to discuss the conditions and business of the country.He was sorry that be was the only manufacturer present oh that occasion, as he believed that wtuch good would come from conferences of that sort.However, he promised to invite Mr.Greig to the next banquet of marufacturers.There was po difference between thelr views, and there was no reason why politics should keep them epart.If they would énly meet Tound & common table, and over the problems so frequently radsed.they would very soon find how much actual difference there vas.The grain growers of the West had been invited to Montreal, but they would have nothing to do with the manufacturers, and curtly told them so.Then as a Harbor Commissioner he, the speaker, invited them to Montreal, but recetved the same curt reply.The grain growers of Montreal believe in the transportation from the Western coast, but to his mind it was a mistaken pallor.and not in their own fnterests transportation of the products via Vanoouver and the Hudson Bay wéuld not develop the Dominion of Canada.He was In no way jealous of grain being shipped by Vancouver.He in fact, wished them God-speed in the development of thelr work.Nor had he any objection to it going by way of the Hudson Bay road, but he only wanted to point out that in this Son- nection the outlay would be tremendous.Not only had the road to be built and docks, but special stémmers too.In conclusion, he could only hope it would prove a profitable undertaking.Still Ît would not Interfere with the development of the port of Ment- real.Nothing, he said, would please him better than to be a farmer,,; He bad the idea that when he bad enough money ha would buy a na and continue the remainder of his Says on the soil, but he was sorry t\u2018say that he now felt disheartened Nfter hearing

The new organisation has ne political aims whatever, and will concern itself solely with colonising.There are many Settlers from Eastern Eurcpe.who are Possessed of moderate means, but are unable to raise the very large sum needed to buy the land in the way it la offered.The Arabs, who own most of the land in Palestine and Egypt.own it on the communal system, and thus :t is necessary to buy up the possessions of the whole tribe to get a clear title.Then the formaiities connected with the legal transfer of land are m-ny and costly, as the various officials have all to be bribed to expedite matters.Consequently, the new organization will be doing splendid work.The Blelostok Land Acquiring Soctety and the Agudss Israel 8o- ciety, of Jaffa, which are both cooperating with the new organisation, under agreement.in the foundation of several new colonies in Palestine.are doing this as a rere preliminary to launching out on systematic colonisation work on a large scale.The land thus acquired will have to be cultivated on & scientific plan before being subdivided for sale, and this work will require large capital and excellent business management, for small efforts are always foredoomed to failure.The work of the Jewish General Colonisation Society will thus not conflict with that of any of the other organisations, but will enable the philanthropists to subseribe without mixing them up In any political embarassments.As the Zicnists have Just announced that their aim is to concentrate in Paleatine, and the adjacent territory, & atrong united Jewish population, mainly

streets, The police were uttarly unable to cope with the rioters In many places, and thee resulted fighting so severe that many were wounded on both sides.Stones and cluts were the main weapons used, and there were scores of broken heads.It was necessary to place a police escort on each waggon.In most instances the waggons got through the strests safely.but many were destroyed after they had reacr- ed their destination.All waggons were attacked furiously in transit RENEWED FIGHTING.Manchester, July 6\u2014The fierce fighting of Tuesday between striking car men and the police was resumed

were compelled to charge repeatedly, but waggons through to places of safety.The mobs seemed more determined than those of Tuesday, and were mora difficult for the police to disperse.Some of the police were severely wounded by the iron missiles thrown at them, and many of the rioters quit the scenes of action with bloody heads.The mounted police at one time were compelled to draw their swords, but they refrained from using them.Three hundred police have been sent from London to reinforce them.A squadron of cavalry and a company of Infantry have also been called to Manchester to aid the authorities.TROUBLE AT GLASGOW.London.July 6.-Conditions at Manchester and Glasgow are still threatening.There was a great deal of riotous disorder st both places yesterday in connection .with the

Company, which went ashore at Point Arguello yesterday, are known to have been drowned \u2018when a lMfeboat capsized, while the passengers of the wrecked vessel wore being taken ashore by the crew.Early to-day unconfirmed reports were that a number of passengers, variously estimated at from three to twenty, are missing.Owing to the isolation of the scene of the wreck, socurate formation is not yet obtain- e.When the boat etruck, the injury did not appear to be serious, and Captain Faria, belleving he would be able again to float the \u2018Senta Rosa,\u2019 made no attempt 40 tand the passengers.A sharp wind, rising soon after four o'clock, threatened to rack the boat to pieces, and hasty preparations wers made to take the passengers and crew ashore.A life raft containing twenty women capsized off the bow of the \u2018Santa Rosa\u2019 Darkness bad fallen and the ssarchlights on shore lighted the scene imperfectly, sc that it could not be clearly determined whether all the women were rescued, Because of the oonfusion attending this forwarding of the passengers, no check couid be taken to determine the number missing.At 9.30 o'clock last night the \u2018Santa Rosa\u2019 was almost submerged, and frantic efforts were made to save the rest of the two hundred passengers still on board.\u2018The doom of the steamer was sealed Jate yeeterday when a wind stirred a high sea and forced the abandonment of efforts to transfer the passengers of the \u2018Santa Rosa\u2019 to the steam schooner \u2018Centralia,\u2019 which, with the schooner \u2018Helen P.Drew.bad previously made abortive efforts to float her.Up to that time there was no apprehension of danger among the officers of the stranded vessel.It was thought she could be floated.Captain Faria swered wireless inquirtes with the statement that the ship apparently was lying easy and would be floated at the crest of the tide.As the wind rose, however, the \u2018Santa Rosa\u2019 swung broadside to the breakers and began to break up.The crash of breaking timbers and overstrained steel could be heard by the wireless men at Point Arguello.The first lifeboat was launched at dark after every effort had been made to establish boat communication with the \u2018Centralia.\u2019 The shore lay only thres hundred feet from the broken ship, but the lifeboat could not make it.It bobbed like a cork on ths crest of the breakers and the next instant was submerged.HURLED PERJURY CHARGE.Heated Scene in United States House Committee.Washington, DC, Juty 7.\u2014A scenes suggesting that have occurred in the

included tramping in parte of Canada and the United States, Mr.Asquith yesterday award ed n civil list pension of £50 (3380) in consideration of his literary merits and inadequate means of support.He te William H.Davies, who in a volume of poems, published in 1808, entitled \u201cThe Soul's Destroyer,\u2019 attracted the attention of literary London.It fs generally rumored that the Peyptian position.- No publisher would aosept his work, and Mr.Davies printed the book at his own expense out of his savings a8 a strest hawker.Three years later his \u2018Autoblography of a super-tramp,\u2019 was the talk of ths year, but the author does not seem to have made great profits from it, for he is at present Nving in a cheap lodging house in Bouthwark.Other pensions granted under the civil list include £100 to William But- lor Yeats, the Irish poet; of the same amount to Joseph Conrad, and 276 to Mra.Davidson, widow of John Davidson, the post, who drowned himself on the Cornish coast.Mrs Davidson is in stratghtensd circumstances.rere STEADY COST OF LIVING Will be Effect of Reciprocity States President Taft Indiangpolls, Ind, July §.\u2014President Taft put the parting touch on his part in the celebration of this city\u2019s \u2018safe and sane\u2019 Fourth In a speech on Can- adlan reciprocity at the Marion Club banquet last night.The President made his answer to the argument of other Republicans that reciprocity, as he has proposed it 1a not good Republican doctrine, but Democratic doctrine.Replying to the contention that reciprocity would be made wholly at the expense of the farmer and in the interest of the wage-earner of the large cities, Mr.Taft said that in his judgment \u2018the reciprocity agreement will not greatly reduce the cost of living, if at all\u2019 \u2018It will\u2019 the President continued, \u2018steady prices by enlarging the reserves of supplies for those things that are raised In both countries, and it will make more remote the possibility of cornering commodities and extorting excessive prices for them from the public.\u201d The complaint that the farmers would suffer by the agreement, the President said, when analyzed would be found to be an argument that the admission of Canadian wheat free of duty would lower the price of wheat raised in the United States ten cents a bushel.\u201cThe answer to this argument is,\u2019 he sald, \u2018that this cannot be, for the reason that the price of wheat in the United States and Canada both fs ultimately fixed by the price of wheat In the world, and that the world\u2019s prices ars adjusted apd made at Liverpool by the relation of the supply of the exported wheat to the demand for it by countries which do not raise enough to supply thelr people.\u2018The diversion from British and European markets to the markets of the United States of 20 to 40 million bushels of Canadian wheat annually would not only strengthen the wheat market abroad, but would furnish the Amerl- can mills with a needed complement of wheat, which the world would require.just as it has In the past, but it would then be In the shape of Am- erican-meade flour.The effect of increased wheat supplies would be to reduce the cost of manufacturing flour In Just the ratio that the mills were able to thereby increase their output.This reduced cost of production would enable the mills to regain in the foreign market the 18 to 20 million barrels of flour sold In foreign trade annually ten years ago, but which in recent years has fallen to less than ten mill- lion barrels.JURY THREATENS STRIKE.Viterho, July 4\u2014The jury before whom the alleged Camorrists are being tried for the murder of Gennaro Cuotrulo and Signora Cuoecolo threatened to go on strike to-day, and it was noon before they could be induced to take their seats and permit the trial to proceed.A bill now before the Chamber of Deputies provides special indemnity for the jurors serving in this unusual case, but the extra allowance is made payable only from July 1.The trial began on March 11, and the jurors demanded the extra pay, date from the opening of the proceedings.To enforce their wishes they began obstructive tactics by absenting them- seives for several hours this morning.and threatening to remain away altogether unless their wishes were granted.President Blanchi interrogated Lieut.Marenst.of the carabineers of Naples, the superior of Marsha! Giuliani.The witness corroborated in full the testimony which his subordinate had given against the prisoners.The mother of Signorina Santini.the singer, testified that a theft from her daughter had been organised by Gennaro Cuoccolo.LAWYER URGES VIOLENCE.Viterbo, July 5.\u2014 Personal feeling flared up at the Camorrists trial today and provided excitement for the apectators.It came about when Gen- naro Abbattemagglo, the Informer, was confronted by a witness for the defence named DI Martiere.Angry exchanges followed.All of the prisoners led by Enrico Alfano charged with being the moving spirit in the Camorra, joined the witness in denouncing the informer.There was reat confusion, which lawyer Vechini © @ defence aided by encouragin, his clients In their demonstration.5 \u2018if Abbattemaggio continues his provocative attitude\u2019 cried the lawyer, \u2018throw an Iinkstand at his head.\u2019 To this Abbatteamaggio with characteristic boldness replied: \u2018If I am attacked I! will defend myself and | will afirm by denunciation even should my tongue be cut out.\u2019 Di Martiere said that Marshal Ca- pussiti.of the carabineers, had offered him a reward if he would support the accusations of Abbattemaggio.' \u2014\u2014\u2014 SEQUEL TO NECKLACE THXIT, London, July 5.\u2014There has been a vemarkable sequel to the loss at the sala performance at the opera of last

neck by « woman who was attending the performance.\u2018The name of the thief is believed to be known, but further developments will depend to a great extent on the result of the investigation now

Commemoration of Battle in 1815 is Being Planned Belgium, July 8\u2014A committee is being formed to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, which will occur June 18, 1915, and one feature of this celebration has already been decided upon.\u2018This is to collect all the bones, which are still found in large numbers on and around the battlefield, and place them In a great tomb, and above this tomb to erect an appropriate monument in hunor of the unidentified fallen soldier.This is an unusual and perhaps unique method of perpetuating among future generations the memory of a great battle, The London \u2018Telegraph\u2019 says of this method that \u2018it has been reserved for ons of the minor nations to conceive a form of celebration humane and chivalrous enough to make a new impression upon the world's imagination.\u2019 The habit between nations 1s to perpetuate the memory of your own side on the battlefield, and in case your cwn side lost on that particular bat- tlefleld to say as little about it as possible and to be content if the winning side is equally reticent.The Germans, for example, are just finishing à very simple but most 1m- pressive Voelkershlachtdenkmal in the near neighborhood of Leipzig to perpetuate the memory of the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at Leipzig by the German people, with some Russian help, on Oct.18, 1813\u2014a battle in which old Bluecher came in on the flank very much as he did later at Waterloo\u2014but it has not occurred to anyone to suggest that the memory of tne 50,000 Frenchmen who lost thelr lives in that dreadful and disastrous rout should also be carried forward by this stately monument.QUEEN DOWAGER DEAD Maria Pia, Portugal, Had Career Marked by Many Misfortunes Turin, Italy,

Humbert of Italy: her son, King Carlos, and her grandson, the Portuguese Crown Prince, were assassinated; and her other grandson, King Manuel was deposed from the Portuguese throne.ee 1 SEVEN DESTROYERS STRAINED.London, July 5.\u2014Beven of Great Britain's newest ocean-going torpedo boat destroyers have been put out of action by over-straining their hulls while under full speed trials in the heavy sea of the English Channel.The destroyers \u2018Acorn,\u2019 \u2018Alarm,\u2019 \u2018Rifleman,\u2019 \u2018Nemesis,\u2019 \u2018Lyra,\u2019 \u2018Nymphe\u2019 and \u2018Larne\u2019 reached Portland in such a leaky condition that all available divers were requisitioned to close the gaps in their seams, pending docking.The trouble was the result of the tremendous vibration of the powerful
