THE HIGH GOST OF LIVING Congress Meets to Consider Some Far-reaching Changes in U.S.Tariff Law, and Forces in Power for the First Time in Eighteen Years Are Confident Their Majorities Have Strength for Victory.\u2018 SENATE MAY SEE STRENUOUS FIGHTING Here There is Some Fear That Sectional Interests May Bring About a Wrecking Combination Against Certain Features of the Tariff Bill.Washingten, April 7\u2014A complete revision of the tariff law; moderation of the nation's currency system; pre- posals for Philippine independence, for repeal of the Panama Canal free- tell provision, and for the immediate constriction of government-owned railways in Alaska, are the chief problems confrenting the first session of the 63rd Congress, which gpened at noen te-day.Summoned by President Wilson for the express purpose of revising the tariff, the new Congress faces extreme pressure from many quarters for early action en the ether aubjects named.Whether any of these other than the tariff, will be taken up during the epe- cial session depends upon the progress made with the tariff revision, and the sucoses that may attend preliminary werk upon a general currency reform bil, For the first time in eighteen years, Comgress assembles with both its branches under centrol of the Democrats, and with a Democratic President {0 co-operate in shapiftg Tts poll- cies, and to approve its acts.The tariff law to be passed by the special session that opens to-day will be the first general Democratic revision of the revenue laws since the act of August 27, 1894, known to history as the \u2018Wilson-Gorman law,\u2019 and which President Cleveland allow §! to became law without his signaturs Scores of familiar faces were absent in both Houses.In the House a complete change in the seating arrangements had made even old members strangers to the scene.In piace of the mahogany deaks and swivel chairs to which members had clung for many years, stiff rows of ieather-upholstered benches, arranged in semi-circle filled the House chamber.The new ben:h system, somewhat similar t> that of the British House of Commons, gives no desk space at whish members can write or work while in the House Chamber, New members dominate the larger house in the new Congress.The In- rreass of the membership of the House (rom 296 to 425, which became effective March 4 brought in a larger proportion of new members than have appeared in any Congress of recent vears; and made more conspicuous the absence of old-time leu\u2018iers, such as former Speaker Cannon, John Dal- zell, of Pennsylvania: Nicholas Long- worth, of Ohio; Bamuel W.McCall, of Massachusetts; B.J.Mill, of Connecticut, and W, B.McKinley, of Illinois.The work before Congress to-day consited chiefly of organization business.President Wilson's mesage will be read to both Houses shortly after the nning of the session to-morrow.ocratic majorities in both House and Benato are considered strong enough to carry through the programme of tariff revision determined upon by conferences in\u2018 which the Presl- dent has consulted with Mr.Underwood and Senator Cummins, the tar- It leaders of the two bodies, \u2018The Democrats have a majority of over 140 In the House, the membership of 288 being double the combined nirengty of the Republicans and the ves.In the Benate \u2018the Democratic strength is 3.and the combined Republican and Progressive strength 46 This margin is counted on to secure favorable action on the tariff unless sectional interests of Democratic Senators should bring about à combination against certain features of the bill.in which several Democratic votes might be swayed from support of the measure.\u2018Three candidates had been selected to lead the three parties inthe balloting in the House to-day for the Speak.ership; but the reelection of Speaker Champ Clark and the other officers who served tha House in the last session was assured, The Progresive members appear for the first time in the new C.an in the conduct of House affairs, President Wilson's .influence is ex- ted by Democratic leaders of both oungs to De a poteat factor in the shaping nf legislation throughout the extra session.0 The President has taken an active part in the preparstory work on the tart Bill, and will keep in close touch with the Senate and House through the ootislderation = the,

the necessities and the luxuries of life, red the tariff burdens vn the nec to the lowest points commensurate with revenue requirements, and making the luxuries of life bear their proper portion of the tariff responsibilities, Many ltems of manufacture controlled Ly monopolles have been placed on the free list.\u201cThe iden af the large extension of the free list for the unmanufaciu products has been the fundamental conception, while the effort has been made to improve the status of the manufactured lumber.Thus mwed boards, vther than rabinet wood, have been carried to the free list, while sawed cabinet woods, which were 12.70 percent in 1912, are now 10 percent; casks, barrcis, etc.which were thirty percent, are now 14.77 percent; and house furniture, which waa thirty-five percent, is now 15 percent.\u201cTobacco and spirits have been found to be good produbers of revenue, and have, therefore, be:n left at the same rates as in (he present law.\u2018In the effort to retieve the consumer and to mitigate the high ohd rising cost of living, schedule \u201cG,\u201d which deals with agricultural products, has been thoroughly revised, and impnrt- ant reductions have bcen made.For instance, the duty on horses haa been reduced from 2% percent to 19 percent, cattle from 25.07 percent to 10 percent, sheep from,16.41 percent to 16 perrent, bariey from 43.05 percent to 23.07 percent, hay from 43.21 percent to %6.67 percent, fruits from 27.21 percent to 16.38 percent, live pouitry from 13.10 percent to 6.07 percent.\u2018Other chænges are in proportion, and the general effeat has been to reduce in a very material proportion the heavy taxes upon imported foodstuffs.\u2018Print paper, whose cost of production is as low in this country, under favorable conditions, as it is anywhere in the world, has been transferred to the free list when woth less than 31-2 cents per pound, while the higher grades have been given a tariff of 12 percent In place of 15.90 percent.Copy- Ing paper has been cut from 42.33 percent to 30 percent; bag envelopes, sto.from 49.92 percent to 35 percent, parchment papers from 47.9% percent to 35 percent, phétographic paper from 238.99 cent to 26 percent, writiog paper om 45.13 pervent to 35 percent, common wrapping paper from 3% percent to 25 percent, and books from 265 percent to 15 percent, \u2018Where the tariff

in the minds of the Governors, This seems the first essential to success.The unity of purpose and effort which has been already achieved must find expression in a college building equipped with suitahle lecture and reading rooms and imposing enough to stand alongside its neighbors in McGill.\u2018It will be necessary also, at no dis- {ant date, not merely to combine our separate libraries, but largely to ex- \u2018tend their acope.Tn give facilities for research work in the rapidly develnp- ing sclence of thenlogy, these librur- fes must be storked with the standard books of reference

One of the by-products of missions of which many more could be given in Mexico, was the opening of à homes for triendiess street boys In 1931.It was the thought of the Rev.Dr.WIl- llam Wallace, of the Presbyterian Mission, which auggested this charity.Some talks he had with homeless street boys In the main plaza of the City of Mexico, Who puss entire nights huddled in some doorway and without any cuv- ering, led him to broach the subject of a home for the little scamps to several American and Mexican acquaint ances of his.The number of such waifs had notubly Increased since the first revolution.and the idea met with immediate response.A house was rented for them, and one of the elders in the Preshyterian Church installed Aas director of the home.Word has just come from Dr.Wai- luce that during the revolution of February fifty-six little boys of the Homeless Newsboys\u2019 Dormitory were shat in the Cathedral square, when the attack was made on the National Palace hy Gen.Reves.As the attack was made In broad daylight, many were doubtless sciling their papers.and others, with the interest of street gumins, rushed there to see the game.Daniel Zavalets, à young Christian.who was about to complete his course In medicine, went out to care for the wounded, and was killed by thé flying bullets, together with a docior who had been his tutor for many years.The young men's father had been for almost thirty years a minister of the Presbyterian Church.and for twenty years pastor of the Chilpancingo Church.A letter dated March 11, just re- celved In this city the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, has this to say of conditions in Mexico: The present situation is something like an immense dam of water.Just make à considerable break In the dam, and there will be a flood.The people, the common people, are incensed, indignant, outraged.by the treason of the army, and what the constant pounding of the old regime has brought them to.It Is safe to say that they will not stand It.They did not give Madero the suppert that he should have had, but now they have seen u new light, and the issue Ir more clearly deiined than ever In the history of Mexico.1 fear that the people of the United States will begin to think, with more revolution, that this is a hopeless case down here, and ask for Intervention, but it would be at a most inopportune time, .It was a pity that the first revolution should have brought Madero to the front and placed him in power.as with atl his good intentions he was not the man to govern.With him as its lnader, democracy here did not have & fair-chance, and many have conaid- ered it à failure.But despotism at its best was not permanent.and I don't think that there is an chance for peace withnut & fair measure of democracy coupled to a firm and efficient government.It Is certain that the country will not be content without It.it has not been given out vet how long Huerta intends to keep the Pre.sidentlal power, but he is said to have strolled into the Spanish Club the other day and said to some of the men thers that ft was his desire to estadlinh peace and leave 850.000.000 in the treasury when he sterned down.or rather before.Some think that Felix Dias will get restive before that time comes.EXCHEQUER'S WINDFALL.London, April 8 \u2014 The Exchequer t s& windfall esterday in an estate uty of S$SLEST.STC nn the state of the late Sir James Coats, who died on Jan- ery %, and who was for many years the manager of the famous thread firm's American business.The estate was probated at $4,500,560, URGES THOROUGH EXTERNAL BANK INSPECTION Mr.H, C, McLeod Testifies to Need For Improved System, (\u2018Witness Staff Corerspondence.) \u2018Among the previsions that should be introduced fer the protection of depositors, there ought te be included a most rigid and thorough external inspection ef the general management of each bank.A less efficient inspection, or one where the smaller banks are inspected and the larger onus, through influence, go free, would be a meckery of the depositors\u2019 righte\u2019\u2014Mr, H, C.McLeod.Ottawa, April 2\u2014Mr.H.C.McLeo, formerly manager of the Bank of Nova Bcotla, gave evidence before the Bank -

when the Liberals were in power advocated à policy of emcumiom.Now, way the liberals, they are prepared to admit that the agreement made wilh Japan by the Mon.Rodoiphe Lemieux ix effective, and thot, under the provisions of the treaty, it will be the recognized standard of limitation in lhe future.They also argued that siould Japan wo back en that agreement, Cunadu could not get redress except by legislation, which would mean u practical denunciation nf the realy.The Hou Frank (Hiver gave notice that un the third reading b- wontd move amendments making i: clear that the act would uppiy to immigration Jaws passed in the future, and that mothing in the bil should interfere with or restriet lhe legislative power or authority of the local legislatures.The bill was then reported as standing for third reading.ARMORY 0X LAFONTAINE PARK?The Hon Rodolphe Lemieux ashald report that it is Pp tu erect an armory on Laon.taine Park.Montreal.He asked if un arrangement ad been entered in between the Militia Department à the gity, and if 10 was proposed to convert this park into military grounds\u2019 The Hon, llobert Rugers said he hau ne knowledge of this matter, as it had not come before him.When the House again went into committee en the Japanese treaty the Hom.Mr.Pugesley cengratulated the government upon having given due enngideriation ta the bill ut the present time, and for having shelved the naval Bill for that purp se, They wonid he well advised if they would bring on the West Indien sgreement also.There were algn other bills of more impar- tance to the country than the naval bill.In 1968 the British Columbia members, who ere conservatives, had demanded the absainte exclusion of Asiatics with the result that a solid Conservative representation had been returned.In \u2018lew of this he demanded an expression of public opinion from British Columbia now.Mr.Rorden said there was a distinct provision in the hill which retained in Parliament the control of immigration, which the Laurier government had not seen {it to retaln when a stm- {lar treaty was negotiated.He paint- ed out that the stand the Government of ty-day was taking was the same a9 that taken in the past, then Conse:vative government declared by un order-in ¢ountil that the treaty of 1394 between Great Britain and Japan should not be consummated without the necessary restriction on immigration.In 1896 tha Laurier government came into power and nothing further wus heard from Canada.80 that when 1 despatch was sent forward from Canada in 1903 the British Colonial Office found an order-in-council of 1895 and they seked the Canadian government if it wished io accede io the treaty cn the terms of the order- in-council ot 1895, or 11 Canada would de prepared to accede to the treaty without reserve.No reply was received from the Laurier government for three months, but in September, 1915, an er- der-in-counui! was pasred suthorizing the Governor-General to state that Canada would adhere to the treaty withoul reserve.The Premier reiterated that the Rri- tish Columbia Western members had not changed their contention that Canada should have control over her own immigration.The difference between the Laurier Government and his own was that the late government thought that the only way to deal with an cxcess of immigration of any one uiiss was hy an appeal § the Government of Japan, His Government belleve that the way was for Canada to maintain control over her own immigration, which the present bill propored to do.\u2018Our view.\u2019 sald Mr.Borden, \u2018ia that while fri:ndiy with Japan and resdy to co-operate In the broadest way, and while we have confidence that the Japanese Government will carry out foyally the arrangement, yet final control must be with the Patlisment and the Government of Canada.\u2019 Hen, George P.Uraham adid the correspondence which had been exchunged between the Government und the Jap- unese Consul-Ueneral showed that there was nv restriction placed on the Japaneses more than any other immigration.Mr.Borden: \u2018It says no such thing.\u2019 Mr Grahum argued thut the sote control cume from (he agreement ne- getizted by Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux ta 1907.He preferred lo have a direct treaty between Canada and Japan so thut articles could be included which Cunada could aupply to Japan.Mr.Borden stated that the ex.Minister of Ruilways was placing a tortured construction upon the correspondence.It sdmitted of no such construction.'l say that when the hill becomes law it will retain to Canada tde control over immigration from Ja- pun as weil ms from all countries of teh world.If 1 thought it bore such a construction as bas been put upon it by the methods of the member for South Renfrew, then I would withdraw the bill.Hon.Frank Oliver, Edmonton, after criticising the bill, gave notice of two amendments, ons of which would make the bill apply to any future immigration leginin.on.whtle the second atip- uistes that nothing in the act shall in- with or restrict legisiative gowsts or vuthority of any of the pro vincial legislatures.The bill was p.° ta committee © and they amendments will be discussed on thi.d .Ottawa, April 5.\u2014Third reading was eee lest night to t.e bill Br which nada gives adherence to the Japanese treaty.No definite announcement was made aa to What business would be taken up on Munday.- re the Speaker left the chair, Mr.qua asked what it would be, and .un said: \u2018I will let the leader the Opposition know to-rtorrow.\u2019 Lhe giscussion of the Japanese

into «ffuet, however, nothing could be done except by the pus- wage of leginat.on, which would mean the practical denunciation of the trea- tr.The nly sane polley to adap\u2019, he said, was one of

adjournment, the Hom.Rodolphe Lemicux rence ed his question of Thursday in regard to Lafontaine Park, Montreal.Dia the Government propose to build an armory on the park, and was .t to be used in future for malitary purposes?LU was tm- portant, he sald, for the people of Montreal to know this.The lion.Robert Rogera said he had made lnyuiry at the Department of Public Works, and the offictals kncw nothing about the statement that an armory would be built in th> park.\u2018They ought to know.remarked Mr.Lemieux, Who was appérentiy satisticd with the answer given.REFERS TO CHARGES AGAINST MR.PELLETIER Ottawa.April 4.\u2014 In the Senate vesterduy, Senator Roche asked If Nenator Landry had addressed to the Prime Minister, copies of letters exchanged between (he Postmaster-Gen- i eral.the Hon.Mr.Pelletier and himself, \u2018and that the said letters cone tained charges and accusations against the Hon.Mr.Pelletier: He also asked the \u2018nature of the charges and accusations\u2019 and if Speaker Landry had \u2018suggested the propriety of making changes tn the representation of Quehce in the cabinet\u2019 and asked Speaker landry if he would consent te produce the correspondence.In reply, Speaker Lundry said he would give the same answer he gave te an order of the House of Commons in March, that there had been no correxpandence between himself and the Prime Minister in 1912, relative ro publie works in Quebec.The correspondence consisted simply of copiez of communications himself and the Postmaster-General, which the Portmaster-General had marked private.In view of this Spenker Landry said he could not make them public.He also pointed to x rule that une member could not question another member of the Senate unless the question related to a measure before the Senate, Senator Choquette urged that if the whole carrespondence could nat be brought down the letters of Speaker Landry could be brought down es they could not be marked confiden- tal.After some discussion on the point of order the matter was dropped.On Senator David's motion for the appointment of a committee tn consider the advisability of limiting the | right of appeal te the Eupreme Court In 1885 the | and to the Privy Council In certain classes of caren.Senatar Chaquette said that the matter had been no thoroughly discussed he had little to add.He agreed with Renator Relenurt that in the case nf the Privy Council the matter was settled, and there could be appeal only by Royal permission, and that was asked for to-day.As to limiting appeals to the Supreme Court, such a thing cauld only be done by co-operating with the provinces.If the committee was appointed It would have tn arrange for a conference of provincia! attermneys-general.They should, at least, de communicated with, Segator Choquette said he had experience on the Bench, and had found that the more opportunity there wan for appeal the more appeals there woul be.Litigants became no persistent that they would carry appeals to the throne of Grace if there was opportunity.Senator Dandurand adjourned debate, and the Senate adjnurned.Swore Deaf Mute on Jury Sat Without Protest Through Trial and

Ing on time because of the fact that on frequent occasions official cars were attached to it.Some of these cars belonging to other railways which bad declined to extend similar privileges tn the

Viscount Woixeley Whose funerai took Mace in England vexterday.Air, Borden referred to lus lung and distinguished career in the service of, the Empire In all parts of the world! and made particular reference to his! connection with the earlier history ot Red River Expedition.Bir Wilfrid laurier maid that the Premier's remarks were most happy, on the loss which the pire had sustained.Sir W.ifrid raid he himself was ald enough ta remember when in, the Urimesn \u2018iar the late Viscount: gave firat evide ce of that ability which marked hix career.He could not forget his association with l\u2018anada an a member of the garrison at Montreal, and Inter in the Red River ev.pedition.The services which he had rendered to the British Empire not only endeared him to his fellow country-) men, but tn all those who appreciate Uritish valor.\u2018He wan, concluded fir Wilfrid, \u2018a great soldier, an able (leneral, a distinguished man of letters and a perfect gentleman.\u2019 BRITIRH COLUMBIA \u2019 COMMISSION.Mr.E.N.Macdonald (Pictou).asked the Premier regarding a newspaper report that & commission had been appointed to investigate the demands of British Columbia for better terma.Mr.Borden, in reply, raid that Mr.Z.A.Lash, or Toronto, and Mr.E.V.Bodwell, of Vancouver, had already been appointed commissioners, and they would name a third or, in the event of dixagreement this third appointment would be made by the Bec- retary cf State for the Colonies, Mr.Harcourt.URGES .EED FOR DIVORCE COURT.The House spent the next hour in putting through the committee stage and giving third read\u2019 : to twenty-two diyorce cases from the Senate.As in ufusl in the lower House they were disposed of without discussion.When the last one had been dealt with, Mr.Maclean, of South York, in a short rpeech expressed the hope that before tong the time would come when Parliament would find rome better way of dealing with divorces.He scid that in England = special commission had been looking into the question of divorce.When legislation is introduced into the Imperial Parliament it might be advisable for the Dominion Government to make & study of its chief features and perhaps to adopt them.Mr.Maclean declared that the divorce situation is becoming scandalous.Parliament should Civest itself of authority to grant divorces and pi the matter under a proper court.Divorce.he said, should be as open to the poor as to the rich, and the reasons for the granting of divarce should be well defined.Mr.Maclean noted that in many instances Canadians seek divorce in the United States.Parllament, he added, is responsible for the present undesirable situation and should find & way oul.The crop of twenty-two cases for one day would seem to indicate that Parliameat can make better headway with this class of legislation than with other bilis before its consideration.Mr.Carvell, of Carleton, New Brunswick, agreed with Mr.Maclean that Parliament should divest itself of the right to grant divorces.He said that the divorce courts in the Maritime Provinces have proved eminently satisfactory.lie was not disposed to favor any legislation which would make it easy to secure Givorce as is the case in the United States.Nevertheless, properly constituted cour.; would be better able to deal properly with the granting of divorce than the Senate Divorce Committee.He believed that once the law is laid down that divorce 1° ht the privilege of obtainlag divorces should be at the disposal of the poor as well as the rich.The speeches Cid not draw forth any ministerial statement la regard to the matter.WORK OF THE PARTY HEADSMAN.Mr.McCrgney, of Bsskatoon, drew attention to a return brought down dealing with the dismissal of G.M.Ullyott from the Dominion Lands Of- tice at Saskatoon.He said that Mr, Cilyott had been dismissed without notice and no reason had heen g Mr.Mcinnes, the land agent, in 8 ter to the department had referred to the resignation of Mr.Ullvott, but no copy of the resignation was included In the return.Mr.Mc(raney added that it was denied that Mr.Ullyott had been gulity of any partixan conduct.Hon.Robert Rogers, Who was Minister of the Interior st the tims of the dismissal, produced a document which he said had been written by Mr.Ullyott in which he advised the Libersls of Sasksiocon to orgarise and to work for the success of thelr Me, heen the Recretary-Treasurer of the Liberal campaign fund.Hon.Mr.(liver said the action of the Kovernnient in this care hud not heen In accordance with good Parliamentary precedence.The reasons for dismissal should have been included in the original return.If the facts were as stated by the Ninister there Was no Justification for the Answer first given by the ænvernment.Dr.Michael Clarke (Red Deer), gave notice tn the Pontmaster.ieneral that he proposed at an early date to bring up the matter of the dismissal of the Postmaster at Didsbury, Alberts.He had been Informed that the dismissal was without charge and without in- veatigation.The Pustmaster-Genersl promised lo produce the papers.A HUGE ORDER FOR MAIL-BAG LOCKE Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux.as & matter of privilege, referred ta an answer given by the Postinaster-tienersl during he discussion of supply relating 10 the purchuse of 250,000 new mail bag locks ut $1 per fock.The Minister in support of his contract hud stated that the departmeatl was paying the same price fixed by the former Puostmaster- General for a lock which wan not so good.Mr.Lemieux denied that he had crer fixcd à price or (hese locks and said he would never have ordered such an extraordinary aumber without call- ug for tenders.Hon.L, P, Pelletier said that effort was being made to create & scandal in Quebec over the purchuse of these locks, That statement that Mr.Le- mieux had fixed the price could be established by the departmental records.In 197, he had agreed on eighty vents as the price of the locks and twenty cents for the keys.\u2018For what quantity?asked Mr, Le- mieux.\u2018The amount required,\u2019 Pelletier.\u2018That Is the important thing, ssid the ex- Minister, Mr.Pelletier went on to say that the locks would be ordered as required and the big scandal which the Liberal had endeavored to rajse had disappeared.\u2018How many of the locks are being ured,\u201d asked Mr.Lemicux.\u2018I do not know,\" id the Minister.\u2018I venture to say.declared Mr.T.e- mieux, \u2018that in the past twenty years iess than 100.000 locks have been used by the department.\u2019 Continuing he repeated that he had never fixed the price of a lock, but that a fair and reasonable rum was paid for the few dozens bought yearly.But in the present inat.nce no le:r than 350,000 have been bought without tender.Mr.Pelletier repeated that they would be paid for only as required and that the papers would show that there is no ground for scandal, replied Mr.1.©.R.FHOWS BUCCESSFUL YEAR.A svnopæized

freight trains w ad near Lackawanna last night.The loss from the wreck and stolen and harited property is estimated at $200,000.Four trainmen were Injured.ee Proposals of the late administration were condemned because they provided for only eleven berths for ocean vessels, whereas accommodation for thirty-two would be necessary in any cumprehensive scheme to meet the necessities of the next

eminently suited for, the residence of a royal prince, as Ît is alnost untouched by the encroachment of, modern buildings, being bounded om two sides by the Mail and the Green Park and having as its only near neighbors the royal residence known as Clarence House and the picturesque buildings of St.Janes\u2019 Palace.It is the best known to the general public of any of the great houses of Tendon, due in part to the devotion of the Leveson-Gower family to art and philanthropy and their willingness to throw open their house for entertainmen:s for philanthropic or charitable Whenever there bas been a war Fan ever any great need for help hue arisen or when any reform has been projecied, Stafford House bas been thrown open for basasre, concerts or yublic' meetings for the benefit of the cause

It.The Agure used is derived from the behavior of King David's savage lleu- tenant, who.wishing to be rid of a rival, took him by the beard to kiss him snd stabbed him with à dagger in Sis left

British Government had put very little money compared with fta rivals into the new arm of the service.There are not lacking those who hint that Colonel Seely wag stirred by his own speech, his own

also that esfety Hes in unity of cng.trot and the power from a given centro to usa the whole force where mot needed.It must be admitted, how.over, that tha great speech of the First Lord of tte Aémiralty has, by presenting the effect of this view in à concrete form, diecowrsged those whe take this view.Hae tolls us what the Admiralty would do with the ships of the dominions.It would place \u2018hem at Gibraltar as à hase, to be ready thers ta rail to any ses whore they may be needed, alro tn fuifil the function of « Mediterranean squadron.It is hard- 15 to be supposed thet any of the contributing parties je pleased with this Application of the geven seès thmory, They are all remiote that base.but when it Is thus presented on the material map, we can only lovk for 8 very atrong aentiment in Cansda against an imperial policy that would leave her ports\u2014especially her Pacific porta - unguarded.It may be sald that nobody is threatening those porte, but (hat Is an argument that proves too much.I?the Canadlans were cos- vinced that there was nothing to ap prehend and that we had really no use Cor the royal navy, It would be very hard to Induce them lo vote those thirty-five millions pere PRUTECTIVE FLEETS.What of the \u2018Hamidiyeh'> It was aiwaye the \u2018Hamidiyeh.' Khe seemed to be in evidence throughout the war wherever the Turis needed a Ship.Now she was protecUng the movements of Turkish troops on the Black Rea const, then she was at Alexandria, then near

ter ships.tan so lotly into the (ray that she was unable to get back, and wan forced to put 1n sea for safety.Running across the Medit rranean to Egypt, she secured supplies, presumably in a surreptitious manngr, and then started back on the fighting trip that hax surprised the world, and which will figure in the annals of darin: naval deedr.Khe has lLombarded towns, stopped the carrying

armament consists of two six-inch guna and eight four-point- seven guns; she has twelve thousand horse-power, ard a maximum »peed of twenty-two kno's.Unquestionably the Greek fleet would have captured or sunk this doughty little adversary had it not been ntherwise engaged.But the Greeks made it their first duty tw see that the Turkish ships did not rally forth, their second, to capture new territory for thelr nation, and only such, force as they grudgingly npared was at the service of the alfies to arsist in - ~ military operations and defend them from attack.The problem that this Incident raives Is how gimilsr would be the situstion were Britain and Germany at war, Britain's whol: fleet Is concentrated in the Raltic.We have not on this side a single British ship ready to raise 30 much as a shout to frighten off an enemy.Should war break out the necessity .- the concentration of Britain's fireta vould be even greater.If in times of peace she must concentrate every available ship on her own shores, bow much more Wuald this be the case in time of war?Yet a few small German cruisers r ght break away; as did the \u2018Hamldiyen,' snd steaming for L'anada.do all the dam- agr they liked on tl unprotected cones of the Maritime Provinces, and even rail up the St.Lawrence.8Successfully to chase and capture a single ship that Is on a marsuding cruise of this nature would

inflicted, and of Lhe difficulty of a capture sven with a far superior force.Bhould then such a war as that above-mentioned break out, and were Germany immediately to despatch half o dozen cruisers,

opportunity of coupling him with Bir Rufus Isaacs the picasure is much increased.There are sume financial transactions that are #0 intricate that they cannot be explained tn the common people, and it might be very difficult for a minister to explain satisfactorily and convince ingly that he had not heen engaged in such, if it were charged against him with enough vigor and persistence.The present case, however, is quite easy to underatand.Sir Rufus Isaacs was told by hin brother that he had underwritten a gnod many shares of Ameri- cun Marconi stock at a figure tet he thought wouid make them profitable, The brother advised Sir Rufus Issacs to take part in this block of shares, Sir Rufus being .membe, of the Cabinet and knowing that a contract with the British Marconi Company was likely to come before the Cabinet rhortly for conridgration, asked his brother if there war any connection financiaily OT utherwise between the British Ma cont Company and the American Mar- cont Company.He war toid that there was no such connectien and took the stock.He later made an offer uf some of it, as a thing in the future of which he had faith, to Mr.Lloyd CGcorge and the Master of Elibank.They each took over part of his holding, be assuring them, as he had been assured, that there was no connection between the American and Faglish companies.As was expected the agreement with the British \u201clarconi Company came before the L'abinot a little later for considers- tion, and on the signing of the contract shares ran up in value from ,1.00 to 310.00.Presumably a~ the result of this new endorsement of the Marconi principle, the American shares advanced at the same time.Un the rapid riss, beth Sir Rufus Issacs and Mr.Lloyd George æold a »mall fraction of their stock.When, however, tha contract between the British Government which Sir Rufus, jssacs and Mr.Lioyd George had helped to draw oul was more cares Cully examined, it was found that the Company had the worst of the desl Shares

EMPIRE.Can we in Canada call it so, now thut we shut vurselves out of the great brotherhood of the empires by repudiating our fellow citisens?Reports are to hand regarding the twenty-seventh Nations! Indian Congress held ut Bankipore.Though ite Importance is somewhat lessened by the fact that the newly established legislative councils afford « more effecve opportunity for the ventilation ul grievances, the congress is supported by all responsible leaders of Indian politica! thought, and may be considered as a fairly accurate index of educated Indian sentiment.It is therefore pleasant to note the loy- ulty to the King-Emperor and to British rule ia general which marked the various addresses, and also the unqualified condemnation of the attempt upon the life of Lord Hardinge expressed by the whole assembly, It is quite evident that the visit of the | King and Queen more than a year ago is continuing to justify itself in the appeal which it made to India\u2019s honor and loyalty.The feature of the :ongress that made the greatest impression on visitors was the free and eloquent use of the English language by the delegates.\u2018Truly.says one correspondent, \u2018it 8 a wonderful sight to sea \u2018these five thousand Indians, with ail \u2018their diversities of race, color, tongue \u2018and creed, united by the English \u2018language, and listening to oratory of \u2018which no English platform need be \u2018sshamed.The ome thing with which \u2018J ams most impressed in India, and the \u2018one thing for which I was least pre- \u2018pured, Is the marvellous talent for \u2018language\u2014at any rate \u2018or the Eng- sh language\u2014possessed by the edu- \u2018cated Indian\u2019 It seems as if the English tongue were destined to de & common médium for communication between those numberiess tribes of India which for centuries have been severed by the barriers of language and religion.It is worth noting that thix has been accomplished without any endeavor on the part of the British to force their language upom the people.In German Poland a chiig ts hardly allowed to pray in its mother tongue.In Finland, Russia is doing her best to stamp o:t the Finnish language and nationality.The result in both cases has heen to make the subject people hate both the language and personality of their rulers.The babu's pride in his florid English la a tribute to freedom anc to the just and merciful rule under which it is learned.Any one who has been privileged to meet educated Indians who bave visited Great Britain or America can essily believe the enthusiastic reporta of the oratory heard at the congress.The poetic genlus- which is so closely related to the gen- fus of the orator\u2014has for untold centuries been the life and soul of India, and whether he spoke his own language or another the truly educated Hindu will seek to clothe his though® fn beautiful and appropriate words.Frederic Harrison refers to \u2018the won- \u2018derful command of our language ob- \u2018tained by our Indian fellow-citizens\u2014 \u2018a command the most learned and ac- \u2018complished foreigner of Europe never \u2018acquires.\u2019 It is perfectly in the ua- ture of things that cultured and \u2018*al- ented men like those of whom the congress is composted must very soon be trusted with a large measure of sell government.The new legislative councils are a beginning In this vegard.As time goes on they will.te given more power and scope.If any of thess cultured and English-speak- ing Indians attempted to land at one of our Pacific ports he would bs lar.red out as an \u2018undesirable\u2019 These ignorant and barbarous exclusion laws of ours will have to be modified if we are to remain worthy of the British tradition which is producing such notable results in India.\u2014\u2014 TEACHING DIPLOMAS.A few years ago the question of the Qualification of teachers in the Protestant rurm) schools of the province was « burning one.Many people were demanding à retu:n to the old central board system.by means of whieh certifie were granted upot mère examination st local centres, with no requirement of training.The :0mmon sense priaciple, however, thet trainieg is necessary.appears to have prevailed; the statements of (he in- pectors, in the annuel reports of the fuperintendeni, indicate that the school vosrds gonersiiy row make à decided literence between the salaries of the rained and the untrained teachers.But there la & better way still, as the ountiea of Huntingdon and Cha œauguay have bass proving in almost very.on6.@f their Protestant school An officlal statement says that euch : Year ovet three nundred of our Pro- | testant rural schools ure under the charge of unqualified teachers.In order tu meet this condition, some six years ago the Protestbnt Committee decided lo issue permits, valid for teaching in the rurs) schools, to pu- pis who had passed Grade Il.Academy.\u2018These permits lead, after two Years of succeseful teaching, and an examination in school law, and the art of teaching, to u second clase elementary diploma.The object wus to secure at lsast some guarantee of educational attainment on the part of teachers without diploma.in those parts of the province where it was clahmed that the moderate expense of attending the Training Bchool at Macdonald College was beyond the ability of the people.When a permit, lead- |1ng to a diploma, could be issued to (sécond grade Academy pupils, it was thought that there would then be no excuse for the engagement by the boards of pupils who had received no further instructic.than that afforded by the second or third model grades.It was a temporary expedient, adopted in view of the local demand at the time for cheaper diplomas.Here and there it has resulted in the en- , Sagement of teachers with higher edu- ; cational fitness than might otherwise | have been employed, but fortunately i the aystem Has been pretty generally j resarded in the right light as an ex- \u201cWedient only.The total number of permits issued iu-not large, and à few l only of the teachers have taken the trouble to secure the second class di- ; Ploma.Quite a number, indeed, after i teaching n year or 20, have recognised ; the value of training, and have gone | to Macdonald College for the year's | course.: Now a forward step has been taken which should, in connection with the consolidation movement which has be- { gun in the Eastern Townships, prove | succesatul in securing a larger number of qualified teachers for the rural schools.The plan, which was proposed by Dean Sinclair of Macdonald College was adopted by the Protestant i Committees at the February meeting, and hay received the approval of the Provincial Government.The course will be as follows: \u2014 (A).Course leading to rural school model] diploma, 1.This diploma to be valid in any rural model school in the province of Quebec.2.The diploms to be granted to students who possess the Qualifications for entrance to the model school class and who have Successfully completed (a) à four years\u2019 course in the school of agriculture, together with a course in the school for teachers, of not lees than one hundred hours: or {b) a two years course In the school of agriculture or in the sehool of household science and o course in the school for teachers of not leew than two hundred hours.(B) Course leadin, elementary diploma.10 rural seheol 1.This diploma to be valid in any rural elementary school in the province., 2.The diploma to granted to students who the qualifications for entrance to the elementary class and who have successfully completed (a) a course of one year in agriculture or household science and « course in the school for teachers of Rot less than tbres months; (b) a course of vne year.of which two- thirds has been taken in the school for teachers and the remainder in the school of agriculture or in the achont of househoid acience.These two classes of diploma, it will be noticed, are valid only in rural schools, the one in.mode! and the other in elementary schools, The amount of training in the work of teaching in e::er case is less than that required for the diplomas valid throughout the province, but et the same time it is not an inconsiderable amount.Taken in conjugction witl the entrance requirements, and the general training of the college in agriculture or househald science, it should afford a very fair preparation.But the salient feature of the plan is that the young women who take these q- plomas wiil be equipped with a working knowledge of household science, and the young men who take them will be equipped with à working knowledge of scientific agriculture.In the case of those who .obtain the model diplomas, the training in either agrl- culture or household science will be very considerable.This fact opens up a large Prospect for the rural model schools.Fully flitty df the seventy model schools of the province are rursl, dnd In nearly ali cases where consolidation is taking place the centralized school is being raised to model rank.If these schools can obtain men (eachers who have had two-years\u2019 or a four vears* course in agriculture, and pomen teachers who have had « two years\u2019 course In household science, the problem of giving rural education a trend in these directions will be largely solv.od, and It Is a consummation much to be desired.L \u2018am Sinclair is In à position to know the facts, and he ig confident that mary are mow ready to complete the above courses, and take positions in ouf\u201d rural schools.The elementary diploma in household science or agriculture will not be quite as advanced, but it should afford, neverthéless, » vetful training \u2014mne ROCKIN TN BOAT.| Mr.Pelletier is difficult carpe for (he Gous-nment te carry threngh \u2018he present tempestuous seasien.Mis same ° THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS, APRIL 12, 1913.hardly over comes before the public except for disapproval.Iie dismisses deud postinasters for olitical sctivity: he dismisses live postmaaters to sup plant them by supporters of his party, and now he has arranged a deal for three hundred and fifty tLoussad padlocks without calling for tenders.This In 8 matter that requires s fuller rx.planation than that given in the {loune, We know by his own sdmisaion that Mr.Pelletier has arranged for these thre- hundred and fifty thousand pad- locke without calling for tenders at a price of one dollar each and that he Justifies this transaction on the ground that it is the same rice as paid by the late government for small lots, speei- ficaliy eighty coats for each lock ané tw nty cents for each key.Twenty cents for each key \u2018made in a single punching out of flat sheet metal!

MONTREAL'S WORLD MOVEMENT.Tt i» remarkable with what unanimity all current testimonies agrees as to the success of the remarkable discovery made by ouf four theolugical colleges that they could unite their forces and thus teach a four-fold group of students with four-fold resources of strength.What is even more remarkable Is the unanimity with which the constituencies of these collsges have welcomed the change.The theologians knew at all times that the differsnces of tenet which divided their denominations were for the most part ohsolete in the thought of the day, and that enquiry had travelled into fields to which the old dividing fines did not apply.But there were supposed to be many among the supporters of those colleges te whom denominational loy- ality\u2019 was so sacred a thing and with whom old denomination shibboleths bulked so large that there would be a strong resentment at the very idea of having their young men taught Uy teachers of other names.This, however, has beem a laymen's movement, under \u2018the impulse of large business! men, in the habit of applying means to ends and seeing plainty that there wag everything to be gained and noth- Ing to be lost by the econemizing of forces.When these men enquired of those in charge ot the schools they found that they were all deploring the smaliness of their s~veral classes and the great waste of energy Invoived in the quadrupliestion of work.When they asked them of the denominationa) difficulty, they found thst in the sreat bulk of their work :hey were all teaching on parsilet lines, and ati using text-books written by men of each other's denominations, When they ask- od them about the autonomy of their schools and the control of them by the denominational courts, they found no difficuity there.The schools should continue, each under Its existing relations to its body.There the interests of the denomination would continue to be cherished, and whatever saci might distinctively have to teach should there be taught.They would also be hostels for the young men's ti) Ti countries.Mrs.Bacon says: \u2018 dition of housing that, in itself, tends * to impair the physical or moral health

dally papers to push forward the \u2018progressive party in the United States.Now that the campaign is over and the Democrats are in power, Mr.Munsev is making a very vignrous effort to amalgamste the Republican and Progressive parties.Either they must be amalgamated or one of them must dwindle to almost nothing If either is to obtain power.It is far from likely that the Republican party, with its long history, the grestize of its name, an-l precedents, tugether with the appeal to Its high protection principle of ths self interest of the wealthy, will drop out of sight.- It seems much more likely that the Progressives should die cut.as many third parties have done before.A wise solution certainly seems to be a compromise.The great dividing Hines in the United States politics are, as Mr.Munsey says, protection and states rights.The Republican party stands, as it always has stood, for high tariff, and increased federal control.The Democratic party stands for low tariff, and the guarding of states rights against ahsorption by the federal government.Un (hese two issues Mr.Munsey says the Progressives are solidly with the Republicans, and he maintains that the Republican party; would likely be willing to accept the whole progrersive platform.with the single exception of the recall of the judiciary.The direct election of senators, the initiative, the referendum, and the recall of elective officers except judges.are all measures which he thinks the Ttepublican party would be willing to endorse to win baek the progr ves to a party that would bear a new name.not repulsive to the Republicans as Is the name of Progressives, on account of their fight agsinst Mr.Tal., nor repulsive to the Southern Staten.as is the name Republican ever since the war of secession.Against all such talk of compromise, the Bull Mooss protests.He demands a'l or nothing.Complete sl- legiance to his lead is the only basis he sees for the continued existence of progressive

they broke with Mr.Taft altogether when, to make up for that disappolatment, he offered them reciprocity th Cannda, which robhed them of the unimportant protection they had on their own products, while giving them no relief from the crushing duties on what they had to buy.But these are still probably convinced low tariff men.Mr.Lafollette is the natural leader of Progressivism in this section

available for sheep grazing purposes, semi-offictally confirmed (a advices from Ottawa, will etimulate the industry in southern Alberta and encourage growers in the central and northwestern parts of the province to engage more extensively in the bus!- ness.It is understood that the Federal Government's policy will be 3i- milar to that governing sheep Erasing on the forest reserves in the Western States.Officials of the forest de- pariment will have supervision, fri ; rmits and determining the Li se sheep allowed in the reserves.Jrowers estimate that in a few years several million sheep will Araze in the mountains during the summer and be feq on the farms in the wine.ter, thus adding largely to the live stock output of the provinoe, in which the sheep industry antedates grain ranching in the southern districts The Hon.Martin Burrell, Minister ot Agricuitues of the Dominion, reported to be In tpvor of opemin the forest reserves, realizing that in this way the industry will be greatly encouraged.He has taken the matter up with the Department of the Interior, which has jurisdiction over the forests.N Writing of sheep husbandry in Canada, in & bulletin (ssued recently by the Department of Agriculture, J.B.Spencer, B.S.A., says, among other things:\u2014 \u201cThe sheep industry or Canada dates back almost to the beginning of her sgriculture.The first settlers as early as possible established Itttie flocks of sheep to supply fond and clothing for their families.Even when bears and wolves were pientiful, sheep were kept by a much larger proportion of the farmers than at the present time.\u201cThere is probably no country in the worid better adapted than Canada to sheep raising, and nn country offers greater opportunities for the devalop- ment of the Industry.The physical features, the soil, the climate, end the agricultural population are all favorable to the production of mutton and wool of Lhe higbest quality.A DIMINISHING SHEBP PUPULATION.\u2018Canada in an favorable for the raise ing of vigorous sheep as healthy cat- 1s, horses and hogs, yeL we tind each of these latter classes of the live stock industry has been forging shead, while the first named has been falling back in almost every proviuce of c\u2018onfeder- alien.From 1851 to 1901 the num- \u2018bers of horses, cattle and swine In ail nereased from \u2018about 20 Lo about 50 percent, While dufing the same perind the sheep decreased about 17 percent.In 1881 the total sheep population of Canada is given as 3,- 048,678, in 1901 2510239, and in 1914 2,106,000 head.With the exception of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, the falling off has been uniform over the Dominion.\u2018Various reasons are advanced for the falling off of sheep raising.The Canadian farmer is credited with a lack of steadfastness in his business, and In thin he does not differ from the farniers in many other countries.This tendency on the part of the Canadian stock grower no doubt goes & long way to explain the reduction in sheep.Mutton and wool prices fell, and sheep keeping conducted in the old haphazard was on many farms, brought very little revenue.The thorough going sheepman did not tind it necessary to abandon sheep keeping, and these men have reaped the reward of good prices, ai.1 incidentally cleaner and richer farms.It is true the pertiferous dog discouraged many sheep keepers, especially near centred of population, while the substitution of the barb wire for the old rail fence drove many out of the business, \u201cThere are other reasons why sheep keeping has not kept pace with other branches of the live stock industry that .have in their turn had ups and downs.The very fact that sheep are s oeasily kept has caused & lack of interest in them.No end of effort has been mad eto aselst the hog industry and the keeping of cattle, but sheep are so easily kept and so harm- Jess they have been allowed to drift with the current of indifference.The very obstinacy of the hog and the narrow margin of profit possible under average treatment hav eplayed their parts in stimulating the swine raiser in his work.The never ending \\abor incidental to dairying has helped the cow, while the risks and slow returns in horse breeding have borne fruit for the betterment of the equine industry.The sheep that is able Lo return two crops in & year under semi-nexlect apd poor housing, has not called for a fight for its perpetus- tion.and has suffered In consequence.WILL NAKE POOR COUNTRY PROFITABLE.! It is exemplified by the excellence of flocks in all parte of Canada \u2018hat each und every province is adapted 10 sheep breeding.It is also proven by the success of flook masters that cite industry may be profitably con- 4dycted in all parts of the Dominion.\u2018 \u201cThis 4s true -on high priced arable 187d where the cow, the hog and the wheat field flourish abundantly.Here as well as in \u2018the more rugged pas- turé iand the industry has wonderful scope fob expansion.In the older provinces as well as in some of the new- or ones, weeds are becoming a serous pest, and land is losing fertility from want of stock keeping.In these the keeping of sheep offers an opportunity that should not be lightly considered.In most of the provinces there ats thousands upon thousands of acres of

by putting in an extra spout, leaving the old one in also, but I cannot commend this practice.The two spouts wlll produce very little more sap than one when freshened up.There Is another side to It also, due to the fact that the old hole sends out sour sap that is certain to injure the quality of the ayrup.MUST GET GOOD SAP IN FIRST PLACE.All this means that to get quality you must be extremely

is stesd- fly gaining ground on ita merits.Where it lias been given adequate opportunity to become a regular factor in the everyday work of the dairy farm it has made tteelf indispensable.The first essential of clean end thorough skimming Is to have the machine thoroughly fastened to a level\u2019 floor or platform.It is a machine that cannot do efficient work unless there is a perfect motion of the bowl and sufficient and uniform speed to create force for separating.To secure the proper motion of the bowl the machine must be set level, kept clean and oiled liberally.The oil should be thin.or light, so that it will not gum the bearings of wearing parts.It ta necessary to flush out the bearings occasionally with coal oll or something that cuts and washes out the accumulation of foreign dust and dirt that interfere with the workings of the various parts.One should have a cover for the machine to prevent dust and dirt settling on it when not ln use.No matter what kind of a machine one buys.it cannot do its most effic- {ent work unless uniform power is obtained by turning the crank at a given upesd at ail times.Study the instructions tn the book that comes with the machine and follow them as oloseiy as it is possible.The quantity of milk to run through the dowl, the degree of temperature and the manipulation of the oream screw are sxplained \u2018in the book of instructions.One cannot devote too much attention in keeping the machine In a clean and sanitary oondi- tion.He should not be misled by what the ugent may say about his particular machine not requiring washing more than once a day.iit is not.enough to rinse the machi with a Hitle warm water and let it stand until the next time, for the siime and the solid particles of unclean matter {n the milk that are caught and held in the bowl are in Fsust the right condition and temper ature to decay quickly and producé enough bacteria to ruin the next batch of cream that is separated.The machine should have a thorugh cleaning after every separation.Pure cream cannot come out of a flithy separator.Particular attention should be given to the quality of the water used In washing and cleansing the separator.jn many instances Impur® wated used In cleaning the separator has caused no end of trouble with the keeping qualities of the cream.rer THE EARTH-WORM'B USE.The earth worm 1s to some

Breeders\u2019 Directory During the pest few months tha Live Stock Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture has been in receipt of numerous Inquiries as to where it Might be possible tu purchase either Angora or mlikch goats.n would appear that in many parts of the Domipjon the demand for these useful and profitable animals is rapidly developing, and that those who a present have any surplus stock, can find & ready sale for them ¢f a channel of communication between supply and demand I» established.Accordingly, as a means of starting a convenient directory of Canadian breeders of Angora goats and milch goats.the Live Btock Commissioner will be pleased to receive from such breeders information regarding their respective flocks covering the following points: 1.Kind and number of goats kept.2.Usual number for sale each year.3.Approximately the prices asked.4.If possible a brief statement regarding expenses found revessary.and the returr:s which\u2019 may be expected hy one engaging in ralsing this class of stock.Communications supplying the above information should be addressed to the Live Stock Commissioner.Ottawa.Ont.Such letters do not require postage.' \u2014 PREVENTION OF SCOURS IN CALVES.To prevent scours in calves, proper care should be given to the mother while pregnant.that she may be able to give birth to a healthy calf.As scours is a germ disease, {t is important that the calf be free from this disease when horn.(\u2018ows afflicted with the disease of abortion convey this disease to their offspring.It is for this reason that calves so often die of scours before they have even taken nourishment.Calves horn afflicted with the germs of thin disease are in a position to spread the disease to other calves that they may come in contact with in the sane herd, or If shipped to other herds.This le another proof of its infectious nature.To prevent and overcome scours in calves, they should be given medicinen that prevent fermentation of food to allay irritation and congestion.J MUTTON BREED FOR PROFIT, Farmers who keep the mutton bread of sheep do nnt complain that sheep do not pay.It is the farmer who makes a specially of wool.and who sends to market sheep no larger than lamps, who does not find profk in sheep.Young lambs alone give good profits and often bring more in market than the matured sheep and its wool, but such inmbs are of the quick maturing and excellent mutton breeds.rere Agricultural Questions DRY FARMING.\u2014'Anglo.\u2019\u2014A new term we hear \u2018Dry Farming\u2019: what in ft?Ans\u2014 West of the one hundredth denvee of went longitude there is an immense extent of semi-arid country, where the annual rainfall ie less than seventeen inches, consequently cropa nf grain cannot be rained successfully by fotiowing the ordinary system of culture practised in the East, where there is plenty of rain.In sections where the rainfall 1x lean than seventeen inches, a COD in grown every second year.The first year the land is summer fallowed, that is, it in ploughed, and left in that state throughout the summer, and after every shower of rain the land is disced or harrowed.to break the capillary attraction, and thus retain the much-needed water In the soil.Tn the autumn, the need ia drilled into the août, an earfy-ripening variety of wheat, oats and barley being used.This grain makes rapid growth throughout tha spring and early summer, when the raing fall, and is matured before the Severs summer drought checks all further growth.NEAT'S FOOT OI1.\u2014(N14 Subsorih.er) \u2014Can neat'e

flowers, nor even from red clover.The absence of the blnssoma of fruit trees in the spring, and of the white clover in summer, would prove a serious drawback, to bee-culture in Alberta.The Italian

GOD'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM.enilapse of the strength of Jacob, ang the cry which escaped him in Soba, \u2018I will not let thee go except thou bless me, \u201cThen his name was changed from Jacol, the heel-eutcher, to lsrael, ruled by God.This matter being settled, the difficulty with Esau was dexlt with hy the Divine interference, as his attitude toward his hrother was made compassionate, and full of ten- dernrse.THE TEACHING.The great revelation of this story is that the matter of supreme importance in the life of any man who is called to he an instrument of Divine service is that of what he is in himself.Jacob, returmng to the land from which he had been exiled, was anxious about Fsau.If we may make usa of language which is not in some mensén abmolutely accurate, but which does, nevertheless, cofivey the idea, we should say that God was concerned, not about Frau, but about Jaca, How constantly the men of faith are busily occupied endeavoring to arrange circumstances, and to pywnipuiavs men in the interest of the Dfine economy, when the only hindranos to the Divine progress is in themselves, If we could but compietely submit ourselvns to Him, and learn the fundamcntal lesson that He is able to accomplish ail Hin purposes through submitted souls, then He would arrange the circumstances, and deal with the men whom we fear.The story of the meeting of Frau and Jacob is a remarkable exposition of the truth expressed hy a servant of tha Most High in later times when he said: \u2018When a man\u2019s ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.Then, Again.the story teaches us that when God has won His victory over us, not only does He change the attitude of our enemies toward us, He creates within us the ability to be compassionate and tender-hearted toward them.He creates this capacity, whether their attitude toward us is changed or not, and, hecaise He does sn, it is nur duty to act in that way toward them.It is Interesting to notice the declaration which Jacob made to Esau an te the meaning of the presents which he had sent to mest him.When Esau asked him, he frankly declared that he had sent them \u2018to find grace in the sight of my lord.\u2019 Then when Esau declined them because he had enough, Jacob pressed them upon him, no longer in order tn appease Frau.but, as he said, \u2018Because God har dealt graciously with me, and because | have enough.THE GOLDEN TEXT.The Golder: Text which han been chosen for this lexson emphasizes the last thought of the teaching, that of our true attitude toward each other, and its true inspiration.Indeed, the only inspiration which is equal to ea- abling us to fulfil this apostolic in- Junction is that of an hiding recng- nition of the exceating grace of God, as manifested in His forgiveness of us in Christ Jesus.G.CAMPBELL MORGAN, DD, the hours of the night, and ended in the dawning of the morning by the The Bradley-Uarretson Co.Ltd.Pud April 20, 1913, Jacobs Meeting With Esau.xxxil., I\u2014xxxiil, 17.Golden Text-\u2014Be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, forgiving each other ,even as God also in Christ for gave you.Eph.iv, 32, (1) Verses 3-8-What were the circumstances in connection with Jacob's leaving his father's home some twenty- one year's previous?(2) What are the possibilities of a gulity conscience In inflicting punishment?(3.)

THE GOLD (Ry When Fred Lenox arrived at apiary tn the Northern Wends, found the bees storing honey 1 was the middle of June, and wild raspberries wore covered Bloom.The open slope, on which stood the eighty whtiv-puinted hives, roar.ad with wings.Clouds of Lees, laden With honey and mad for more, hurried into the hives, They came by thous.amis, too fast te count.With exiltation Fred saw that the prospect was good for à thousand-dol- lar crop if he.could only keep down swarnung.Wih hix brother, he had established this bee-yard in the Ontario woods three years before.It was ninety miles from home, and not far south of the Algonquin National Park, Every fort- might during the summer the boys 100k turns visiting the vard.At the seas for extract:ne the hon they camped there together for & week er more, During the three years since they had estahlixhied the apry it had ahowel an average variy profit of 2600.It wax 4 wild.rough country, twelve( miles from the railway and almost un.#ettled.Gume overflowed from the strictly preserved tional Park, aad was plentiful.Beaver dammed the streams, the boys saw deer almost daily, and traces of moose were abundant.But an apiarist in the busy sea- #on has no time for sport, and Fred seldom had a chance 10 hunt.On this occasion his work was to check swarming.He unlocked the \u2018extracting shanty,\u201d got out his tools, lighted tus smoker.und set to work.The hive that he always examined first war one that contained Cyprian becs.These are particularly valued.Cyprians are of a beautiful golden- Yellow.and arc remarkably energetic workers, hui they are so savage in emper that few bee-keepers care to have them .They have such excellent qualitier, however, that the boys had planned to breed a strain of their hlnod into the apiarv.and had paul eight dollars for an imported Cyprian queen.Fred pried off the upper story of the Cyprians\u2019 hive, and found thg box almost full of honey.He drove the surg.ng beer down whh a blast of xmoke, And from the lower stary took aut twa or three frames of comb covered with \u20ac vellow laver nf excited heen.They swarmed up againet his veil: they stung hix bare hands: but, in plte of their protest he raw what he had feared he would find\u2014a cluster of peanut-ghaped queen-cells, each with a young rmbryve queen cofled at the bntiom.The appearance of the @elln showed that the colony was on the point of swarming.Fred proceeded to cut out the cells.Vsually.cutting out the cells delays swarming, and sometimes prevents it altogether.At times, however, it neerns to have no effect.and the swarm le suex just as if the queen-cella had not dean dentroyed.Ît may happen that a cell in so hidden that the bee-keeper fuils to see it, and the result of leave ng a aingle cell Ia the same as if ail the cells had been left After cutting out tha cells, Fred went on to the other hives.In almost all hs found symptoms of the swarming fever, and he worked all the morning, deatroving queen-cells and giving empty combe for storage room.After a late and hasty luncheon, he started to work again, when, with a saut roûr, à volley of hees issued from one of the hives.For several minutes te cloud of insects swirled wildly In the air: then it concentrated round the nearest tree, and finally formed a brown cluster on one of the lower branches.Almost before this swarm had set tied, another, with a roar, emerged from a second hive, eddied about, and Riso began to cluster.And then a third solony swarmed.When been are in the mond for it, Ge flying of a single swarm wii Sometimes st up a riot of swarmin, throughout an apiary, even in colonies that otherwise would not have swarm- aff 50 soon.Thia third swarm wag fol- Jowed hy a fourth, then dy a fifth: the last two joined, and clustered to- &tther in an enormous bunch.An- &ther swarm came out.Bees darkened the air.and the sound was like that of a tornado.With empty hives Fred hived some of the swarms that he could resch easily, and\u2019 dashed water on hives that fooked threatening.Me wes surprised to see very Dow LIES he Frank Lillie and, moreover, that they had swarm- | ed mo tong age that the excitement id EN QUEEN.\u2018 Bullock.) bees flxinE it C\\prians\" hive.lt mind that the colony the entrance of the flashed upon his had swarmed, subaided.Fagerly he wearchod the trees, in the hope of finding the swarm mill clustered, and of being able {0 hire it.When at lart he did find it the heer were not clustered quietly, but were in n state of excitement.Fred wondered whether the swarm tnd not ver fully settled, or whether it had been clustered a long time, and Was pow preparing to leave tle hax- tilv started te hive it, but before he had time to do so, the cluster sudden.transformed itself inte a swirking cloud of bees For a few moments the swarm circles] about;

the open over-night at such a distance from itx home, However, bees do not | always follow fixed rules, und Fred had seen too much unexpavted he.haviour on their part to be greatly surprised.The bees, however, were not likely to stay clustered much longer, and he Was eager fo secure them After Waiting several minutes, during which he neither saw ner heard anything of his enemy, he slid to the ground and hastened to the maple sapling.The bees were, indeed, his golden Cyprians;: they made a faint musical murmur as they clung together.The tree on which they had clusicred wae several yards on one side of the beeline, and Fred would probably not have seen them If it had not wen for his elevated position He had the moore to thank for that They were out of reach, but it was casy to tend the sapling.Fred held the mouth of the sack under the #vArm then shook the tree sharply.There was a sudden roar am a heavy weight dropped into the sack.He had secured the whole swarm\u2014all except a few hundred bees, some of which dash- tl \u201cagainst his fuce and tried to sting m.With great elation, Fred gathered u the rest of hix outfit and turned back toward the apiary.The sack over his shoulder hummed and stirred with the effort of the angry insects to Ret out.Île had gone hardly ten yards when something moved in the underbrush.He stopped, startled.The next instant a fearful bellow filled the woods, and the wounded bull burst through a curtain of low evergreens.Fred turned, and still clinging to the mack, ran as fust as he could.Fortunately the hull was lame from its wound\u2014a circumstance that aome- what affected its «perd.As it was Fred wus aimost run down: he raved himself only by leaping to one side amd changing his direction.All the time he kept on the inok-out for a tree that he could climb and he held fast to the sack; he was determined not to drop it except as a last resort, for the mouth was not tied.and If he should let go of {t, the bees would at nnce escape.The honfs of the bull clattered he- hind him.Fred dodged wildly again, swerved hehind a tree, and caught æikht of a dead hemlock trunk that was spiked with short hranches, and leaned at a decided angle.Tt wan almost as easy to climb an a ladder, and Fred scrambled up it with his swarm to safety.The bull's fury was uncontrollable.He roared terrifically; his black mann stond stiffiy on end, and he gritted and gnashed his teeth.He reared up with his fore-feet against the trunk: then he withdrew a few yards, and charged into it with such force that, to Fred's horror, it gave slightly, and WELL ~WeLL JILL {/ gL] | published in 1h tributed amone the treaps in pamphlet : AND | THOUGHT] Scouts and Bible Study (Rditor of the Noout Page.)
