FEMALE MUSQUITO ABANDONING HER PUPA- CASE. Avausr 9, 1808.8~ THE FEMALE MOSQUITO MAKING A BOAT OF HER CAST-OFF SKIN.But the female is very differently mind.od\u2014s Mesmlina or a Brinvilliers, incongruously wedded to a vegetarian innocent.Even the very forms of the head and its appendages are quite different in the two e:xes in adaptation to these nwrked differences of habit, No.9 shows A, the Whiskersd the Blood-Sucking Femals, the Female, .\u2014Heads of Mosquitoes: : B with lancets exposed: C, biting a human hand.us the varieties of form in the male and female at a glance.Above (in Fig.A) we have the harmless vegetarian male.Observe his innocent sucking mouth, his bushy beard, hia lack of sting, bis obvious air of general respectability.He might pare for a pure and blameless ratepayer.But I must be more definitely sientidic, perhaps, and add in cicarer Innguage that what [ call hie beard is really the antennae.These consist of fourteen joims each, fitted with delicate circlets of hair; and the hairs in the male are so long and tufted as to give bim in this matter a feathery and military appéer- ance, wholly nlien to his real mildness of nature.Look close at his head and you will find it is provided with thres seta of organs\u2014first, the stofted antennae; second, a single sucking proboscis, sdapted for quiet flower-hunting and nocter-caling: third, à pair of long palps, one on each side of the proboscis, Now, beneath him, marked B, we get the bead of his faithful spouse, the alandoned, blood-sucking mosquite, which looks at first sight, 1 confews, much more simple and harmiess.Its antennae have shorter and less bristling bairs: its proboscis seems quict enough; and Ma palps are reduced to two mere forma or knæe not a quarter the feagth of the bristly husband\u2019s, on each eide of the proboscis.But notice in front of al that she has five long lan- cts, guarded by an upper lip, which do not answer to anything at all in her husband's economy.Those five lancets, with their serrated points, ara the awle or picroers with which she rates the skin of men oy cattle.ow they work you can observe in the lowest figure, C.Here you bave a bit of the hand of a human subject.The sharp lancets have been driven through the skin into the soft tieswe beneath, and the bent proboscis is now engaged in sucking up the blood that oozes from it.It that were all, it would be bad enough; but not content with that, the mosquito for some mysterious reason al- 2 injects a drop of some irritant fluid.1 have never been able to se that this proceeding doss her any good; but it is irritating to us; and that perhaps is quite sufficient for the ill-tempered mos- quite.You can best observe the mosquito in action, bowever, by letting one settle undisturbed on the back of your hand, and waiting while she fills herself with your blond; you can easily watch her doing eo with a pocket lens.Like the old ly in \u2018Pickwick,\u2019 she is soon \u2018swelling wislbly.! She gorges herself with blood, indeed, which she streightway digests, assimilates.and converts into the three hundred eggs aforesaid.But if, while ahe is sucking, you gently and unob- trugively tighten the akin of your hand by denching your fist bard, you will find that she cannot any loager withdraw her mandibles; they are caught fast in your flesh by their own harpuon-like teeth, and there she must stop accordingly till you choose to release bee.If you then kill her in the usual manner, by 2 smart slap of the hand, you will eee that ahe is literally full of blood, having sucked a good drop of it.The humming sound itself by which the mosquito announces her approaching visit is produced in two distinct manners.The decper notes which go to make up her droning song are due to the rapid vibration of the female insects wings as she flies; and these vibrations are found by meats of a siren (an inatru- went which mcsures the frequency of the waves in notes) to amount to about thres thoussnd in a minute.The mos quito's wings must therefore move with this extraordinary rapidity, which suffi- heve in catching one.Hut the higher and abriller notes of the complex melody are due to spocial siridulating organs situated like littie drums on the openings of the airtubes: for the adult mosquito bresthes no longer by one or two Air-entrances on the tail or back, like the larva, but hy a number of spiracles, as they are called, arranged in rows along the sides of the body, and oom-| municètigg with the network of internal air-chembers.The curious mosquito music thus generated by the litle drume serves almost beyond a dour as a means of sttracting male mosquitoes, for it > known that the Jong hairs on the antennae of the males, shown in No.8, Fig.A, vibrate rympathetically in unison with the notes of a tuning-fork, within the range of the sounds emitted by the female.In other words, hairs and drums just answer to ope another.We may, therefore, reasonably conclude that the female sings in order to please and attract her wandering mates, and that the antennae of the male are organs of haar- ing which catoh and respond to the bussing music she pours forth for her lover's ears.A whole swarm of gnats can be quitoss are of course ex: dant in marshy places, merly common in the Fen district of England, but the draining of the fens | has now almost got rid of them, ss it

questions should be sent.All questions answered through ibe \u2018Wit.Besa\u2019 It was » bot dey, and we had driven far.Pan,\u2019 with lagging steps, had to be encouraged to travel over the dusty road, and the fiat fields, yellow with ripening grain, made the sunshine peam even hotter.At last Lotus turned the pony\u2019s head up s wooded pathway where the shade was grateful to our tired eyes, and we proceeded slowly.Then a hot breath and the aroma of something very unusual hung like incense in the heavy air.It was\u2014ranpberries ; and the fields we had come to wee were before us.The pickers, one on cach side of the long rows, did not look up at our approach.They all seemed to be searching intently for something among the bushes, and the baskets of full, red, perfect berries at the ends of the rows proved the object of their search.Youth of all sizes and variety were in pursuit of this fruit, and scemed to be accustomed to the heat, while large straw hats, with white, flapping curtains at the back proved the care, even here, of the gentler sex for what is called \u2018complexion.\u2019 A sturdy, solemn-faced young man, with a very business-like manner, passed along the rows with a shining pail and a tin dipper, and the cold water seemed to be appreciated by the busy workers, whom I sincerely pitied in the suitry heat.In this way we talked to each other until Lotus remg kad that we bad not b come tu see the p.ckers, but to make a ciently accounts for tbe difficuky we [purchase of fruit, and by this time th: sol.ema young mean bad reached the end of the rows, snd, setting down the pail, was ready to attend to us.But Lotus is rothing if not inquisitive, and began to ask so many questions that | took out ny notebook, th nking at once of the readers of the Witness,\" who might have an foterest in growing thie fruit.\u2018Do you grow more than one variety of \u2018Rubus\u2019 was the first query, ard the answer in intelligent English was that most of the fruit was \u2018Cuthbert.\u2019 a firm, large berry that carried well to market.For you must know,\u2019 seid our informant, \u2018that the people of the cities wa cater for want big berries, and are not so particular as to quality: so we grow for size and quantity, though the Cuthbert is really first quality.\u2019 \u2018How many boxes can they fili in a day,\u201d was the next question, and the an- aver given reflctively, \u2018Well, it depends on the pickers and how you pay them,\u2019 which was not statistical, though ad: mireble as & piece of fencing.\u2018Are the berries much trouble to grow * asked Lotus.\"That depends on what you call trouble.\u2019 said the solemn youth ; \u2018you have to plant them in clean ground, that bas been cleared and cropped ; then keep WEEKLY WITNESS, in the fall and cut out dead wood every season.They are really better if bent to the ground and covered with sarth in tuls cold climate ; and that means to lift tiem in spring.and then they hava to at least in flower, for if weeds get a hold Jou may aa well plough them up at once.\u2019 I'm not thinking of going into the busi- Dees,\u2019 maid Lotus, \u2018but it seems easy.It is a classical fruit, too, and originated at bus Ideaus.\u201d All wrung from that origin.\u2019 man locked impressed ; them he bright xX ro \u201cWhat are the treen leaves sticking out from under the hats of those young

solemn y man, \u2018they do and they don\u2019t, Peopte are 50 mean, general: ly speaking, they want to buy fot nothing, and forget how much fruit there is in & box they try to get for five cents If they would only stop and think how many berries there are in a box, and if they would like to work eo cheap.\u2018That's so,\u2019 ruminated Lotus, and fell to musing while our order was being made up.The light shono over the fields of vires, all staked and trained bigh, till it looked like a vineyard.There was no air stirring, the pickers moved slowly along, and our pony took to nipping the tops off the raspberry canes, causing me to remonstrate by a tug at the reins.Still Lotus ruminated until I asked what was the matter and be answered vaguely, \u2018I wonder how many besries there ars in a box?\u2019 Tt wholly depends on the size of the berries and of the box,\u2019 mid the young man, a shadow of a grin on his face, for the first time, and then quite unexpectedly Lous put out his long arm, turned a box upside down upon a crate lid and proceeded to count how many berries it contained.\u201cThree hundred and nineteen,\u201d he concluded, and just think how much picking % does take to fill it.We do not stop to think, Tt is a lesson in political economy.\u2019 \u2018And at the rate you are breaking up the berries there will be a Jenson in domestre economy,\u2019 I added meverely, but it did not disturb hia screnity, + , \u2018Do you have anthrecnone here ?' again Questioned Lotus.\u2018I don't know, sir.\u2019 was the wary answer, and be continued, by way of

Riates Government has, theengh the press and in other ways, notified all ita citizens who have special interests or concern in the disputed ques tiens and others matters of negotiation at the Quebee conference helween (reat Britain aml the United Rates, to fully < acquaint the government at once with their views in writing, This is 8 means of strengthening the hands and arming the representatives at the conference which, it in to be hoped, will be taken {ell advantage of by the British commis siorera.To be furnished with the spe cial information which keen, experienced and interested burinces men have at their command will enable negotiators to understand more thoroughly the interests of their own country and to obtain better terma than they otherwise would.It in largely to a lack of this sort of know ledge on the part of the British diplo- » that Cannda owes ber deplorab\u2019e defeats in previous treaties with the United States, It is satisfactory to know that some of tho larger Canadien indus triec most directly interested are taking steye in this direction, and it is still more gratifying to find that their recommendations in defence of their own interests are in accordance with the government's policy as announced by the premier, that is to say, as wide a measure of reciprocity as can be arranged.If protection could be swept away altogether it would make leas matter to either Canadian or American people where the frontier line ran within a few miles, for alien labor laws and alien mining lave and protective coasting laws would also, in all probability, have diseppeared with the rest of the protection and retaliatory legislation injurious \u20180 the mutust inter ests of the peoples of Canada and the United States Among the greatest interests of the Dominion concerned in the outcome of the conference are those connected with the cutting and manufacture of our forest products.Except our agricultural interests, there is no greater industry in the Dominion, if all ite branches are taken into consideration, and the interests of the many branches arc various and, to some degres, clashing.There are the limit holders, the lumberers, the saw .millers, the manufacturers of dressed lumber, and all the house-builders\u2019 wood materials, the furniture manufacturers, the owners of pulp-wood forests, the pulpwood cutters, the wood pulp manufacturers, the paper manufacturers, each sad all of whom will demand that their interests shall be considered, if the government interferes at all.It is simply impossible for a government to adjust fairly any protective tariff so as to satisfy all and injure none of these various clashing interests.To frame a tariff which will include export duties upon some of the products, ae well as import duties against imports which compete with others, would be an impossible task.It is aat- isfactory, therefore, to know that the Lumbermen\u2019s Association of Ontario hs decided with virtual unanimity to rec ommend the government to secure at the Quebec conference reciprocity pure and simple in all forest products in all stages of manufacture, from sawiogs and squared timber to finished and manufactured lumber, whether of hard wood or soft wood.The export of sawlogs from Ontario has been prohibited, and the Dominion Government has obtained the power from parliament to proclaim sn export duty upon sawlogs, ae well as upon pulp-wood.The Jambermen's Association is in favar of the maintenance of the provincial law requiring all logs cut under license to be sawed within the province, thus prohibiting the export of saw- kgs in case that complete reciprocity cunnot be maintained.The prohibition of the export of sawlogs is, of course, an act of the Ontario Government, with which the Dominion Government, which will negotiate the Quebec treaty, cannot directly interfere, but it may be taken for granted that euch an arrangement reached by the Dominion Government will be carried through by the Ontario Legialature.It bas been pointed out that in 1800, when Sir John Macdonald was arranging for a meauure of reciprocity with Mr.Blaive, the Province of Quebec had im posed an export duty upon pulp-wood, which was repealed by the Quebec Government at the instance of the Dominion premier in return for a reduction of the lumber duties from two dollars per thousand feet to one dollar.The pulp-wood timber limit-holders and cutters sre, of course, opposed to export duties or any obstructions to the free export of their product.The wood puip manufaclurere would like to eee the export of puip- woud to the United States prohibited, but the export of pulp of course unobstructed, while the paper manufactur.ere argue againat the export of any manufactured or half manufactured material as uneconomical and against the inter.esta of Canadian labor.Both they and the wood pulp manufacturers hold that Canade posscsssce the great hulk of the pulp-wood forests of the continent, and that, with abundant water power at her command, she should manufacture pulp and paper for the continent, if not also for Great Britain.It is evident, however, that with such great natural advantages Canndian mannfacturem of pulp and puip products should do well with complete reciprocity, if that could be obtained.Onur mineral and mining inter.ents are analogous in most respects to those of our forests, and the position is about the same in regard to them, and the same is true also of our fisheries.Te! our teeming fisheries, while at the same time refusing our manufactures of wood and metal and the fish caught by Canadian fishermen frees access to ber markets.Canada also, in retaliation, closes out the United States manulactures.Sr Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s policy isto obtain as large a measure of reciprocity, both as to unmanufactured and manufsetured pro- duets, as possible, and to rid both nations of the barbarities of their allem labor luwa, alien coasting laws and all the other obstructions to mutually beneficial in tercourse, trade and commerce \u2018 \u2014_\u2014\u2014 PURE FALSEHOOD.The story recently circulated over all Canada with regard to the Rev, Dr.Allie son of Sackville having refused his countenance to a pastoral letter favorable to probibition, and having declared his own irtention to vote against\u2018 prohibition as having been everywhere a failure, seems to have bren made cat of whole cloth, The remarks actually made by Dr.Aili- son were just such as might be expected from a thoughtful and earnest prohibitionist.1¢ would be natural to refer this monstrous perversion of facts to the secret: pro-liquor propeganda which has been recently exposed, were thers any need to ascribe it to anything but that evil spirit in man that constantly seeks occasion to accuse and malign everything that is good\u2014a spirit from which some newspapers and their readers are not altogether free, if we may judge from their avidity for such matter.We print Dr, Allison's circumstantial and detailed contradiction of the irresponsible falsghoods 20 daringly concocted with regard to his well-considered words, It is curious how whenever s moral movement ie in question the Father of Lies sets his seal upon its \u2018excellence by unusual activity.It will be interesting to mark, too, how the prohibition movement will be denounced as being the cause of wickedness like this.To accuse prohibition of be ing the cause of the lying and perjury of its adversaries, as some even learned men have doue, is almost on a par with accusing our Lord and his apostles of being the cause of the blasphemy and per jury evoked at their trials.\u2014 CANADA AND IMPERIAL DEFENCE A serious effort is at last being made to determine what may be Canada\u2019s duty in the matter of imperial defence.Ib might in 8 rough way be ssid that as she shares equally in the benefit, her duty obviously is to bear a share of the expense proportioned to her wealth.This, it may st once be admitted, she is far from being prepared to do.She has the excuse that mone .of her statesmen have in the past dared to claim it of her, and that Britain has never done 0.The people of Canada have never had this duty laid before them, and have there fore not been educated to it.As Can ada bas practically gove acott-free in the past as far as doing snything for any one but herself ia concerned, it will plain ly be the part of statesmanship to begin gently with ber.It is to be hoped that the defence of our long boundary line against the United States may now be left out of the account.It is the vastness of this perticular demand and the question as to the wisdom of doing anything at all in the matter that has kept the whole question of national defence very much in abeyance.It was realis:d by all that the more forts we might build and the more berder garrisons we might instal the more we should need, and that in the competition of expendi: ture {Canadas must in the end be exceeded by a people of ten times her wealth, and find herself bristling with offence towards a stronger neighbor.This argument has always seemed to us a strong one as apylied to operations directed against the United States.IL is, however, no excuse at all as applied to our naval defence.Canadian ships sail on every sea, Belor> the ire age this was no doubt much more the case than it is now, but whatever commerce we have on the high sean, in Canadian bottcme or other, haa enjoyed absolute safety under the protection of the Dritish flag, which protection we demand as freely an would the fishermen on the Dogger hank, but for which we pay nothing at all: Our recent appeal againat United States piracy in the Ilehring Sea wne responded to by British intervention as n matter of course, an intervention which cost our fellow citizens in Grest Britain an enormom amcunt of money, and, along with cther dwputes, well nigh cost the mother country a terrible and exhaustive frater nal war.It cost us nothing at all, Tt must be obviows to every Canadian that however little our fellow subjects each case the United States would like may complain, this inequality of burden to obtain for her citirens free and unoi- is certainly not right, and what is not structed access to our natural riches, vue mw materials, wo.d and metc!, and right in 8 very unstable ba.is of continued geod will and mutual confidence and re- Aveosr 9, 1898.spost.It is to be hoped that we may mow count quarrele with the United Btates as out of the question.It would be 8 crime to contemplate the possibility of war, our Premier says.We are not puerile enough to build this hope on a breezs vf international fraternisation following within a few months on ons of angry fouling, st least on cas side.What gives bope of permanency is that the caves of the change is one that seems certain to be as permanent as it is potent.That cause lies in the new oversea \u2018responsibilities the United States has undertaken, ber new need of an ally, ber discovery of the deep friendliness of Great Pritain, and of many other things to which she was before blind.The new conditions not only enabled Britain to show her goodwill, as she had long sought to do, but enabled the Americans to see it.These conditions are not likely to create as time goes on less demand for mutual support between the two powers, but more.If we throw out the need of fortifying and garrisoning our land frontier, we find our duty more witbia the bounds of possibility and are able therefore to contemplate it with more courage.We have never been urgent as to the amount of aid Cemads should give to imperial defence, but we have siways taken the ground that she should recognize her duty by doing some thing.What that something should be may perhaps be found in the report of the commission shout theroughly to examine this question.\u2014 GERMAN EMIGRATION.Len years ago emigration from the German fatherland assumed such proportions that many districts were de pleted of their able-bodied inhabitants thereby.In 1800 there were in the United States alone no fewer than 2,784, 896 persons of German birth, and be tween the years 1871 and 1801 the actual exodus amounted to 1,002,188 of the population, the majority of whom sought & dumicile in the great republic.In 1881 emigration reached the portentous figure of 310,07 ; in 1801 the number still exceeded 115,000, but from this date there has been a constanc decrease, so that in 1806 the total number was less than 34,000.It would be very difficult to quote statistios which could convey a more impressive lesson in polifical economy than the above.They demote a gradual change from extreme protectionist principles to comparative free trade ; from the exclusive trading privileges of the guilds to industrial freedom, and from a condition of monopoly of land in the hands of great proprietors to one wherein much of it threatens to become subject to the opposite evil\u2014division among a multitude of petty land-owners, for the most part destitute of the capital necessary for the practioe of modern agriculture, A quotation from aa article in the leading Herlin socialistic journal of a few years ago will illustrate the sentiment then prevailing with a large class of Germans : \u2018Why should we love our \u2018country ?Do we posscas even & hand's \u2018breadth of land to plant a tree or \u2018flower?This modern patriotism is * nothing but a means cunningly resorted \u201cto by the ruling classes to hound race \u2018against race, and bleed the dangerous \u2018mob from time to time.Real patriot- \u2018ism cam only find a soil where all are \u2018 equal, and admitted to share and share \u2018 alike in life's enjoyments.\u2019 Since this was written the land has been much subdivided in ownership in many provinces, and with a somewhat unexpected result ~\u2014tbere js now actually a smaller per centage of the population engaged in agricultural pursuits than was the case ten years ago.This may be attributed to the fact that few farmers are eble to employ outside help, to the vast development of mining industry, the creation of a maritime commerce, and, above all, to the growth of manufacturing establishments.Even where farm labor is em ployed the remuneration is wretched, not exceeding, on the average, throughout Germany thirty-four cents a day the year reond.The highest average is met with in Alsace, being forty-five cents, and the lowest in Silesia, twenty-two cents, Formerly the guilds in the various cities not only regulated their respective trades, but limited the output, purchased the raw material and distributed it among their members, decided the number of ae- sistants each tradesman or manufacturer might have, and fixed the rate of wages payable to them.Now ali this is changed.Almost complete freedom of manufactures ie everywhere granted, and any one without belonging to a guild is ot liberty to start in any branch of trade he chooses.These are some of the most powerful influences which have tended of late years to reduce the rate of emi- tration, and as they have only \u2018agua to make their weight felt, it may well be that in years to come it will fall still lower, \u2014 PROTECTION BUT NOT PRIVILEGE In dealing with ceded Npanish territory the United States is going to have a perplexing issue before it.In all the places into which tha American arma bave penetreted the Romun Catholic clergy have used the very first possibill- ties of communication with the invading power to seek to elicit promises not caly of protection but of eupport.There will be a strong temptation to welcome the allisnce of su powerful an interest.The local clergy who have till now de ncunced the change of rule with the utmost abhorrence are pleamnt-epoken and confiding as they throw themselves on the known generosity and good will of the Americans.The Spanish have been diligentiy telling the Americans that they will never be able to rule ex cept through the clergy.The papal authorities have been hinting at the same thing.No course might at the moment seem more wise than to conciliate this powerful intorest by some simple concession.Aad ti demands will be very modest, only protection and free dom to exercise their religion and their accustoimed means of support at the handa of their people.The protection is of course easily promised\u2014that is, protee- tion to life and limb.The Americans should, however, be warned to be careful how they promise anything more.Future embarrassment lurks in cvery concession.If they promise these clergy the free exercise of their religion, s thing which Americans would do as a matter cf course, the promiss will be appealed to for centuries after as & treaty promise which cannot be annulled by legislation, as confirming every privilege they bave enjoyed in the pest and as securing them rights against any restrictive legislation in the future, even though that legisla tion should be the work of their own coreligionists acting as self-governing communities.There i no claim too pre Tosterous to be based on such a promise.It will include the right to control the education of the young.It will be a charter under which they may carry on in publie any ceremonial, no matter how aggressive in its import, or how completely discarded in Roman Catholic countries.It will give them the right to rule their parishes in mediseval fashion and to collect tithes by law, even though their own adherents object.So a2 to entail no disabilities on the lawmakers of the future, the Americans should be absolutely reticent about making promises.They should Jeave the clergy as much as possible to be desit with by the communities whose teachers they have been from their first beginnings, seeing only that nothing is done injurious to their rights as simple citi- sens, \u2014\u2014 ZOLA AS A KNIGHT-ERRANT.\u2018The French Iægion of Honor did itself no credit when it admitted M.Emile Zola to ite ranks ; it did itself much discredit in expelling him.As a coarse writer he never deserved to be there ; as the hero of personal liberty before the courts he certainly did not deserve tq be drummed out.As far as Zola is concerned, however, there are many who will regard the revocation of the distinction as being more honorable than the bestowal of it.One of the members at least has thrown dewn his ribbon ss a dishonored deco ration.On becoming a \u2018chevalier\u2019 M, Zola would be required to make oath, upon his honor, to \u2018employ all just, rea- \u2018sonable and lawful means for the ser \u201cvice of the republic, the maintenance * of ite territory, the support of the gov- \u2018 ernment, the law and the public posses.\u2018sions.\u2019 In his efforts to obtain a new trial for Captain Dreyfus the novelist carnot be fairly accused of having adopted other than \u2018just, reasonable and lawful means\u2019 by Ino uppeals to the minis try, the deputies and the courts of jus tice, and surely an effort to secure an open, unbiased hearing for the accused should be \u2018for the service of the repub- lie\u201d The council of the Legion of Honor has apparently thought otherwise, and in this connection it is worthy of note that three-fifths of the members of the council, as of every other class of the legion, must be military men, a fact which will go far to explain the animus displayed in Zols\u2019s case.There are over forty thousand actual members of the legion, and a still larger number entitled to wear its medal, so that che overwbelming preponderance of tha military sentiment within its ranks can readily be under wood.What is not so easily under stood, however, is the fact, clearly brought out « few years ago by the of- fleinl inquiry into tbe \u2018Decorations scandal,\u2019 that there are members of the Lesion of llonor who obtained the right ia THE MONTREAL wear the \u2018cordon\u2019 by the simple method of purchasing it, or rather purchasing the influence of high officiels at the War Office, the mid of :ials, men of rank in the army, being also officers of tha lo Sion ; yet in only a few cases was ex- peaure followed by deprivation of the coveted but questionable distinction.A sill more glaring example of inconsistency on the part of the council is that of permitting a principal figure in the present French ministry, who was seriously involved in the Panams scandal, to remain & member of the legion without question.In olden times the knight was bound by solemn and express en- sagement to vindicate justice, to avenge wrong, and to defend the weak, the unprotected and the oppressed.Perhaps M.Zola may be consoled for his unmerited treatment by the authorities of the Legion of Honor by the reflection that his present course of action makes him much more akin to the \u2018preux chevalier\u2019 than would the wearing of a rather common badge on his coat.The Legion of Honor was instituted by Napoleon when First Consul of France in 1902, and membership in it was intended as a revard for military and civil services.The President of France is the Grand Master.\u2014_\u2014 THE WOES OF THE SEA.Bearcely à season passes without the publication of harrowing reports of destitution and starvation among the fishermen of Labrador and the adjacent shore of Newfoundland.Misery seems to Le the ordinary condition of these men and their families.who, depending wholly an the harvest of the ses, are reduced to extremities when it faile That meu abould continue from year to yeat in on precarions an occupation, marry and bring up families, is surprising, for even in the most prosperous times their lot © extremely hard.Those who are familiar with the situation, however, see but little hope of amelioration.The fishor- men are always in debt to the merchants who supply them with the appliances necessary for prosecuting the fisheries, and who purchase their product.It is not now alleged that overcharging and under-payment are the rule in thes» deal ings, but such charges have been made in the pest.At any rate, the fact re mains that these people can never get #0 far ahead as to be able to support themselves over à season of failure.In some respects the man who is always in debt to a patron is worse off than a slave, as the master owes the slave a living, and is interested in maintaining him to the extent of his money value, while whaterer the creditor merchant advances to his dsbtor fisherman appears in the light of forbearance and bounty, The tcilers of the sea live, as may be wid, on sufferance, their catch being usually mortgaged one or more seasons in ad vance, and when two bad seasons come in succession want and starvation are inevitable.Jt would be difficult to find a remedy for a state of affairs which seems to be pretty much the same among fishermen in all northern countries.\u2014 THE COTTON DUTIES, The fact that there has been no considerable, indeed no appreciable, reduc: tion of the duties upon cotton cloths during the two years the Liberals have been in power is attracting a grest deal of attention at the present time.In: deed, upon Amencen cottons the duties ore from eight to fiftecn percent higher now than they were under the Foster protection tariff, and the duties upon Brit ish goods are presently a trifle higher, though they will be lowered by about twelve percant after the first of next month.The protection enjoyed by the cotton manufacturers is actually higher under the Libera] and tariff reform government than under the Conservative and protection government.The small reduction which will come into force after the beginning of next month upon British goods will not place British goods sny better than on a level with American goods, for the extra cost of transportation charges about makes up the difference.The cotton manufacturers do not part with any part of their protection either in the shape of revenue to the government upon the raw material they use, or in the shape of high protective prices upon raw material half manu.frctured in Canada.This cotton comes in free ; they spin their own yams, except those above number forty, which are too fine to permit of their heing spun profitably in Cansds, and these al they are allowed to bring in free.The cotton manufacturing (rade is also à pretty thorough combination, or rather combinations, of those manufacturing colored goods, and one manu.factring uncolored goods.The prices and output of goods are strictly regulated, and thus there is no competition excopt WEEKLY WITNESS.on the part of foreign and British manufacturers to prevent the oppression of the consumers.It was understood to be the Liberal policy to immediately reduce all protective dutire, and to sbolish protec live duties altogether in the case of goods the manufacturers of which combined to prevent domestie competition.It would appear to the ordinary ab.server that there was good ground on sach and all those counts for the putting in action of the Liberal policy of teri reduction in the case of cottons.That the earnings of cotton manufscto- ries are unduly high, asa result of the high protected duties which enable them to tax the people, is the opinion not only of the manufscturers of shirts and collars, but of prominent representative merchants in general business with a thorough knowledge of the condition of the dry goods trade, as well as of general observers Conservative and Liberal are alike agreed that a reduction might with advantage be made in favor of the cotton consumers and people of the Dominion generally.M the gencral tariff rates were reduced fe'm twenty-five percent on white goods and thirty-five percent cn colored goods to twenty percent on while and grey goods and twenty-five percent on cel- ored goods, which would be the tariff agsinst American goods, and less the one-quarter discount, it would make the duties on British goods about fifteen percent and eighteen and three-quar- ters percent, the protection would be atill quite sufficient and the taxpayers would be afforded an appreciable measure of relief.There would then be à margla between the protective duties on eotton cloths and a moderate limit of protective duties on goods menufactured from cotton cloths sufficient te aliow of some slight protection for shirt and collar manufacturers, who at present are not protected, and yet have to pay protective prices for their raw material.If the shirt and collar men are to have no protection we do not see why the cotton manufacturers should have any either, not to say more than they bad under a protectionist policy, \u2014\u2014 AN EXPEDITIOUS CAMPAIGN.As most readers are aware, the neme Beluchistan does not specifically denote any state, but is merely distinctive of à square-shaped district south of Afghanistan, and with it intervening between the Ponjaub, in north-western Hindustan, nad Persia, and important only as it affecta the relations of the countries round it.Quetta, a strong foriress at the mouth of the Bolan Pass, was formerly counted as in Baluchistan, but is now mapped as included in British India.The principal semi-independent state is Khelat, in the north-east, the coast of the Arabian Sea, a stretch of about three tundred miles, being held by numerous unimportant tribes.A British Political Agent resides at Khelat, and while nominally acting a« adviser to the Khan, he bas actually controlling authority, and the Indian Government, while leaving much lncal power to the tribal chiefs, reserves the right to oceupy any part of Italuchis tan with armed forces whenever neccs- sry.As à matter of fact, however, the chiefs have been little interfered with except in the interests of commerce, tn keep the peace hetween them.While direct ingress to India by an invading army from the north is simost completely prevented by British control of the openings of the Khyber and Bolan passes, there ie always a pos sibility of the later being turned by an enemy penetrating into Baluchistan through Persia.A survey of the coun: try for strategic purposes iv therefore be ing quietly proceeded with, and there is even a pomsibility of a railway being constructed from Gwadur, on the coast near the Persian boundary to the neighborhood of Quetta, In January last a certain sirdar, Ba- tueb Khan, attacked a survey party, looted the camp, and killed some of the members of the party.Aided by other turbulent chiefs, he also threatened to attack Ormars, on the seacoast.and the | triendly tribes of the Kej valley.Thers upon a relieving force was promptly de spatched from Kurachi to Ormars, and on the twenty-seventh of January the troops, three hundred strong, Accom- peried by two guns, began their march into the interior.Ou the thirty-first the expedition came in contact with the enemy, fifteen hundred strong, posted on high ground commanding « pass six miles long.In the engagement which ensued the tribesmen were totally routed with heavy loss, Sirdar Baluch Khan, the original disturber of the peace, and several other chiefs being among the slain.The pro jected operations were all successfully carried out ; the force had returned to the coast by the seventh of February, and a week la®r it wes considered that their mission had been accomplished, no fower than iirteen tribal forts having been blown up, confidence restored and the hostile combination thoroughly broken up.The British loses were three killed and twelve \u2018wounded.It is not by these details, however, that the importance of the resulta obtained from this \u2018little war\u2019 can be correctly estimated.The celerity with which the operations were carried out and their ~lock-work precision.but above all the certainty which has been inspired of the determination and power of the British Government to protect the law abiding tribesmen, even outside the confines of British Baluchistan, have naturally produced an excellent effect.There is not likely to be any further interference with the nulitary surveyors, and already deputations have been sent from cosst and inland towns to the British Agent asking for small garrisons, or at all events resident officials, representing the British Government at these places.Evidently the more intelligent as well as influential of these formerly turbulent and irreconcilable tribesmen are beginning to appre ciate the benefits of a strong administration of impartial authority, and it would seem that tbe whole of Baluchistan is fast ripening for voluntary abworption into the empire, and that the next mapmakers will bave to include it in British India.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 FRUIT AND A UNITED EMPIRE.Apropos the suggestion of the Secretary of State for the Colonies that, by means of a subsidized line of steamers, direct ccmmunication should be established between Canada, Jamaica and London in order, among other things, to foster the West Indian fruit trade, few readers probably realise the amount of Canada\u2019s annual fruit bill.The value of fruits and nuts of all kinds entered in 1807 for heme consumption reached the respect- sble sum of 81,734,803, and of this not less than $1,220,000 represented the ex- pendittre for oranges and lemons, ban- aras and pine-apples.These fruite are here specialized because they, as well as many otherw, are produced in great quantity and perfection in Jamaica and most other islands of the British West Indies.As a matter of fact, however, our entire direct fruit trade with that region did not in 1907 exceed the sum of thirteen thousand two hundred and seventeen dollars, Our mupply comes from many sources, but chiefly from the United States, with the result that, as much of the fruit obtained from that country is really the produce of the British \\Vest Indies, this latter contribution to our markets necessarily bears a double price.The value of imported fruit consumed annually in the United Kingdom is enormous, oranges alone figuring for an item of ten miliion dollars, yet the total value of the supply from the West Indies does not reach a quarter of a million dollars.There in plainly ecope for much im provement in these trade relations, for Jamaica and the other islands are able to supply almost unlimited quantities of pine-spples, pomegranates, cocoanuts, oranges (said to be the finest in the world), lemons, limes, citrons, mangoes, guavas, shaddocks and bananas.Kpices, the like, are alae abundant and excellent, while coffee, sugar, dye woods and the choicest cabinet woods can be obtained to any extent.Even now more than thirty.censist of fruit, mostly, as has been said, in 1897 the Dominion exported apples and other fruits to a value exceding three million dollars, her citizens should be able to sympsthize with the proprietors of these tropical gardens overflowing with the most delicious productions of nature, but largely ignored by the outer world, On the other hand, it cannot but be that an insular population aggregating some four million souls must he in need of many wares which Canada in amply able to supply, whether 1; the shave of machinery, manufactured goods, ouch as nutmegs, ginger, pimento and | four percent of the Jamaica total exporte ; to the United States.Considering that 9 lumber or food products, and sueh a line of communication us proposed by Mr.Chamberlain would establish and encourage a commercial interchange, at present almost impossible.Many attempts have already boen made to improve and develop trade between Canada and the West Indies, but the injury done the business which had naturally grown up between the Maritime Pro vioces and the British islands under free trade, by Cansda\u2019s adoption of a pro tective tariff has proved eo far rem parable.Of course, the decline in.the wooden sailing shipbuilding trade and the disappearance of the sailing before the steam vessel has also contributed greatly to the falling off of trade between the maritime British colonies abd pcesessions of America.Successive Con.ecrvative governments made serious efforts to revive Canada\u2019s trade with the West Indies, one of our finance minis ters, Mr.Foster, having spent some woeks in Jamaica with that end in view.In spite of the generous arrangements made and of the appointment of a wel) ir formed and very active Canadian government agent, the affair proved a failure.Direct lines of steamers have been subsidized by the government, but notwithstanding the assistance given them they have failed.The United States has hitherto been the best market of the West Indies for fruit and sugar and spices, the highest prices being paid there for the best articles, and the United States has been sable to supply the is Isnds with flour and other food supplies, petroleum, and so forth, because these articles are prepared and put up suitably for tropical and subtropical countries in grest quantities by the United States.The proximity of the West Indies and the United States ic of course a great factor.Canada can doubtless greatly develop her trade with the West Indies by means of direct communication, but her markets are not yet great enough to be of the first importance to the suger, fruit and spice-producing countries, and tro much must not be expected.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 DISCREDITING PROHIBITION.A QUEBEC ORGAXN'S MAUNDFR- INGS.Quebec, Aug.5\u2014Under the heading, \u2018Let us rid ourselves of a prejudice,\u2019 the \u2018Scleil,\u2019 the recognized organ of the Laurier Government here, mys: \u2018We are informed that a good many people are under the impression that to vote against prohibition would be to cast a vote againat the Laurier Government.\u201cIt is very painful,\u201d said an excellent partisan, \u201cto have to vote for so tyrannical a measure, but how can we vote against one of Laurier's measures?It is important to remove this false impression at orce.Iu the first place, there is no mearure of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's submitted to the electorate.The matter is merely a simple popular consultation.Hundred« of thousands of water-drinkers went to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and begged him to remove from the country all the intoxicating drinks of every nature\u2014 vchiskey, brandy, gin, wine, beer, etc.They demanded a law to probibit the importation, manufacture, sale and use of these not only in hote) bars, but in private houses.Sir Wilfrid Taurier, without pronouncing on the timeliness of this suppression, shows, as responsible head of the state, the formidable consequences it would entail.It would mrike a fatal blow at a multitude of industries in which thousands of workmen were at present engaged.But more then that, added Sir Wilfrid, the prohibition you demand will take away seversl millions of dollars derived annually from the cue.toms and excise dutiss on spirits.How are these millions to be replaced ?1 eannot adopt such a policy, said Rire Wilfrid, solely wpan the mandate which [ received on Jure 23.| must consult the people, and will be guided hy their verdict, Hence the plebiscite and the vote to he taken on Sept.2.Next, we con.fens that we are not thoroughly acquainted with Rir Wilfrid Taurier's sentiments on thia question, He is himeclf a temperate man, and cven an apostle of temperance, He belongs to associations of thia chameter.But.in spite of all this, we believe that he would he greatly embarrassed if he had to demft a law to close up enme fifty establishments employing over fifty thousand hands, to re ject the five or rix millions of dollars which generally fall into the trearury each year, and to replace them hy direst taxation.We shall return to this subject, satisfied for the present at having dwsipated the false impremion that it is necesnsry to vote for prohibition herange it is A mearurs emanating from Sir Wilfrid Laurier.\u2019

ABYSSINIAN ENVOYS.WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT MENELIK.she reception by President Faure of the cuvoye sent by the Neque Merelik ol Abyminia has been as formal aw though they were the accredited representatives of a European sovereign.The envoys have been staying at the Grand Hotel, whence they were fetched by Mr.Faure\u2019s officers of state, on the occasion of the grand reception at the Elysee.Prince Woldié, the chief of the mission, is tall and old, with a majestic presence.Hr colleagues are younger.Their white pantaloons, their silk and cdinvh-of-gold vests, their vuivets and gemmed embroiderter are the despair of ail the modistes of Paris.All have gold circlets round the hésd from which depend many sparkling ornaments.At their reception by President Faure Prince Woldié offered the former some beautiful presents on behalf of his master, the Negus Negash- ti, while M.Faure, on his part, begged his visitors \u2018to tranemit to the august | sovertign the vows he forme for the happiness and prosperity of Ethiopu.\u2019 The cnvoys subsajuently enjoyed themselves sccing the aghts of Paris.The l\u2019ans\u2018corr.spoudent of the London \u2018Globe\u2019 has sat to that journal the following concerning the atnbassadors and what they have to say about the Negus Menelik:- Tho Ethiopian ambassadors wire pre- scented to-day (July 8) to the Presdent of the Republic.The object of their visit to aris ia to convey to M.Fetrx Faure the expression of the f{ricrdshap and admiration which the Emperor ot Abymunia entertains for France.hn Majesty intended to make the visit himself, hut was unable to do »0 on account of state matters.He hopes, however, tv come to the French capital during the exhibition.The embassy will remain hece till July 15, #0 as to bé present ac the French national fetc.It may be remembered that President Faure not long ago gave Menelik a splendid throne, all lace and gold, which cost fifty thous and francs, but his dusky Majesty declin- od to sit in it, for fear of the people be- : lieving that he inberited his throne from | a foreign power.The cmbamy, in re | turn, is the bearer of numerous presents, among them a few wild heasts, which | will be forwarded to the Jardin d'Ae- | climitation, and a couple of elephants 1tusks of surpassing size and beauty.Our ! African guests have installed thetnselves | in the Grand Hotel, where crowds gath- © er to have a look at them.The embassy is composed of three dis tingrished personages.Prince Wodte, | who is seventy years old and the chief of the embassy, and Princes Nado | and Birratou, two of the generals who | played a prominent part in the battles with the Italian expeditionary corps, Prince Wadle was made King of Chon at « time when the wurper Theodorne fhrew Monelik, the legi\u2018imate l'rinee, into prison.After the escape of Menelik Prince ' Wodle hastened to uffer his throne to tim.When Menelik hpcame Emperor of Abyssinia he placed all his confidence in the ambaasdor of to-day, and there ie not & more loyal servitor.The principal function of Prince Nado, side de camp of Hie Majesty, is to dreus himeelt np on the field of battle in the imperial robes of the Emperer, so as to deceive | the enemy.This dangerous role, it 1s said, is one of the greatest honors which can he ennferred on the high personalities of the empire.The embassy is accompanied by a priest from the Mona tery of Zouqouein, who is also an impor.ant persmage.Nobody could be more hompitabls than the Negus, and his greatest pleammre is to entertain.Ile tries to look grand m vain, but he always miceeeds in being amiable, and is very cunning.\u2018The Court of Ethiopia has its protocol like other courte.The

I knew that we were going ir.to à aweater's den, for I bad visited many of them under the Jead of the Unionist, and many of them on my own account in futile search for work, There was nothing exceptional in this one beyond the fact that, more commonly than in the oeilàr, I had found the shops on the ground floor, and oftener still in the upper stories of tenements As we neared the door there waa the usual sound of the clattering rush of sewing machines going at high speed\u2014start- ing and sopoins abruptly, at uneven intervals, giving you the impression, in the meantime, of racing furiously with one another, The opened door revealed the customary sight of a room perhaps tweaty feet square, with daytight, entering faintly through two un windows, which looked out upon the level of the street.The dampness showed itself in dew like beads along the walls and on the ceiling, which I could easily reach as I stood erect.In spite of ita being winter, the dingy walls were dotted with black flics, which swarmed most about a cooking stove, over which, stirring a steaming pot, stood a ragged, dishevelled woman, who looked as though ehe could never have known any but extreme old age.In the remaining floorspace were crowded a dosen machines or more, over which, in the thick, unventilated atmosphere, were the bending figures of the workers.Oil lamps lit up the inner recesses of the room, and seemed to lend conristency to the heavy air.From an eye here and there, which caught his in a single movement, the Unionist received a look of recognition, but not a bead was turned to sce who had entered, and the whir of feverish work went on, unchecked for an instant by our coming.While the Unionist was talking to the sweater, I walked between the close lines of machines over « floor covered with a deep accumulation of dirt, and shreds of cloth, and broken threads, to where, il a corner, a group of girls were sewing.The oldest among them may have been a little over eight, and their wages averaged about seventy-five cents a week for hours that varied widely ac- ccrding to the stress of work, Near the corner was a pasmge, and through it I could see into a small room which had no window, nor any opening but the door ; there, in perpetual dark- nes lit up by one oil lamp.was a man who for twelve (and sometimes fifteen) hours a day pressed the new-made clothing for a living It was ladies\u2019 ~loaks that the sewers were making ; of course, they worked by the piece, and th among them e could earn a dollar in the day, and sometimes more by working overtime.They were very emart-looking garments, and their air of jaunty stylishness was a moet incongruous intrusion upon their surroundings.When I asked the Unionist for whose trade they were being made, he seemed to think nothing of the {act that he mentioned, in answer, one of the foremost merchant citizens of the town.: We were on the point of leaving, wher.a heavy footfall sounded on thie weoden stepa, and the door opened to the touch of an inspecting officer, whose glowing health and neat, warm uniform were ar though a prosperous breeze were sweeping the stagnant room.The work, however, wan as unaflected by bis coming as it had been by curs.Not a sewer noticed him, and the stitchiog of machines went racing on with unabated swiftness.Only \u2018the old man\u2019 watched nervously the movements of the officer, as he walked about the shop, making note of |.the bad air, and the filth upon the floors, and the growp of little girls, and the dark, unventilated chamber beyond.The Unionist had caught me by the arm.\u201cWe'll wait,\u201d he sid ; and we stood together in the shadow of the open door.turning finally to the side of the old sweater, the officer handed him a printed form.\u2018You must make out this blank,\u2019 he ssid, \u2018and have it ready for me when 1 call again.\u2019 And without another word, he started for the stairs.But on the way some evidence of inmnitary condi tion more shocking than any met with yet\u2014s heap of offal on the floor, or a fouler gust of poisoned air\u2014checked him, and he tumed, indignantly, to the near.ost worker, \u2018Look here,\u2019 I could hear him my, \u2018you've got to clean up here, and right away.The first thing you know you'll xtart a fever that will sweep the city be fore we can stop it.The young Hebrew had stopped his work and turned half-round in his chair until he faced the officer.were deep lines in his haggard, beardlem face, and his wolfish eyes were ablase with the sense of sharp injustice.\u2018You tell ue we're got to keep clean.\u2019 he anawered, in broken English, lifting hin voice to a shout ahove the clatter of machines.\"What time have we to keep clean when it\u2019a all we can do to gel bread ?Pont talk to us about hin.ense ; it's bread we've after, bread!\u201d And there sounded in the voire nf the boy the cry of the hungry for fod, which ne man hear and can ever forget.The officer pasaed, speechless, np the steps, and we followed into the clean, pare air.under the boundless blue of æmiling skies.STRAM NAVIGATION OF THE Up.PER YANGTZE.Cansul George F.Bmithers writes from Chungking that a British merchant has sucoreded in bringing to thet port a good sized steam launch from Shanghai, This is the first steam vessel to ascend tbe Yangtze above the treaty port of Ichang, and it was about three wveks en réut& According to the merchants report the journey might have beem ac complished in much less éme had it not been for numerous delays, He had in tow 3 small junk and a native gnnbost sent by the Chinese for protection.These of course retarded his progress, and thy speed of his boat was not greater than tes knots.This only shows what can be done with a full power light-draught steamer.He says that vessels to navigate this fection 01 the river muat nat be over « un y feet long; they must Lave light draught (say four feet) and power sufficient to propel them at the rate of fikeen knots an hour, This would give them headway at the swiftest rapids and currents.Steamers of the above dimensions would probebly nct have much room for cargo, inasmuch as the cogines would take up a great deal of space, as oil se the accommodation for passengers.cargo, it is thought, could be taken in tow on bosrd native boats.This method would have the advantage that on reaching a bad rapid, the boat or boats in tow could be liberated and the steamer make the amoent alone; the junks could then be hauled up, an they now are, by coolies, which would alill furrdsh employment to this class of people.It is thought possible for stesm- ers to run ten months of the year.During the remaining period the lowneæ of the water would make navigation diff- cult, if not impossible.\u2014'Railway Te- \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 ELECTRIC RATLWAYS IN CANADA.Electricity was first need as s motive power in Canada in 1883.A sbort piece of track was Mid on the grounds of the Toronto Industriel Exhibition.Tbe motor did not \u2018 mote\u2019 to any extent, owing to the dynamo used on the car, « double armature one, with only one pole piece to each armature.The following year, 1884, produced the first practicable road.In comparison with tbe modern electric car it would be thought a crude afisir.The current was taken from copper «lips laid in a wooden box between the rails.In I885 the track wes lengthened and the overhead wire and trolley-arm used.In 1801 the possibility of combating the real old-fashioned winter in the deep snow ares, which includes Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa, vas succesfully demonstrated by the Ottawa Electric ilway Company.Montreal followed in 1992, and Quebee in 1807.In 1896 there were thirty msilwaye ta Canada, the motive power of which was electricity, with five hundred and sixty- nine miles of railway snd an equipment of nine hundred and forty-seven motor cars, three hundred and sixty traiters, sixty-two sweepers and one thousand three hundred and fifteen motors.The number of miles run during the year was 22,772,631, and the number of pas wengery curried was 73.872414, giving three and 3 quarter passengers carried to each mile run.The first city in Camads and in the world to have established in it a speclal electric heating service from a central station was Ottawa.Flectric mai care were first usal in Ottawa on Nov.9, 1893, to convey the mails from the central post-office to the rafllway stations.In July, 1886, the streets of Montreal were first lighted by electricity.In 1888 the first incandescent lights were supplied.Flectric light was first used in Montreal in 1877, by the Imi oom- missdoners.Electric power was first supplied for canals m the Dominion at Rault Ste.Marie (Canadian side) in in 1896.From \u2018Alphabet of Firet Things in Canade.\u2019 by George Jobnson, F.8.8.\u2014_\u2014 ALUMINUM FOR HORSESHOES.\u2018The Russian minister of war has ordered aluminum

children of alcoholic parents are born with their brain and nervous system profoundly affected by their par ents\u2019 vice, and that thie, in many cesse, produces in their offspring such a degeneration as to produce idiote, epileptica, children of unstable mental equilibrium, and very often children in whom the aleobolie craving is very marked.The very same causes which lead to « high rate of child mortality also lead to x physical deteriorution of offspring, ss lh as to a mentsl degeneration.that such children do not have the same power of self-control as those born of parents who are more favorably cireum- stanced.Their higher intellectual brain centres are not able to control (their lower or grosser centres.When you consider, along with this condition of Physical degeneration, the environment, mental and moral, in which many such children are resred, can ycu wonder that so many of those who have survived the dangers of infancy and childhood live to fill our
