beautiful specimens of the | past, collected at the exhibition.Thay were witnessing in India one sapest of a process that was goine on (hrough- out the world which long ago Ind extinguished the manual industries of Great Britain, and was rapidiy extin- ishing those of China and Japan.Nothing could stop it, because it was inevitable in an age which wanted things cheap, and did not mind their being ugly, which eared much for comfort and little for beauty.1t was cer tain that if many old Indian arts and handicrafts were to be revived and placed in a flourishing condition it could only be done by the patronage of the Indian chiefs, the aris! and oni.tured persons, but so long as these preferred to All their palaces with ming Brussels carpet, cheap British are, Italian mossice, enh oleograj

Britain, but he wished ie impress upon his hearers that support of native art must come from India.Outside patronage alone could not support it.He wus convinced that in an artistic sense, India was not dead; could still imagine and create à fine splay.The art colléction is n result of a longed careful research.It ineludes celess broeades, enamels, gold and silver plate, carpets woven tq order

Kew, York fom Post\u2018) Londen, Jan.3\u2014For an empire whose chiefest interest is peace, the British Empire cannot be said to open the year well.The South African war is hardly over; at lesst

and Morocco.As regards Venezuela, the most interesting suggestion of the moment comes from a distinguished French diplomatist in elose touch with the Freneb Mipierrr, who indiaates the futility of The Hague arbitration unless means be taken to compel Vemezuels to execute the award.He ts that The Hague tribums! invite the interested Powers to establish an international commission of financial control, similar to that created im Greece.The commission, of course, would be temporary, snd ite task limited to the payment of The Hague awards, but the effeet would be most wholesome upon otber South and Central American States, who will set in the future under the shadow of the Possibility, of similar freatment.Ree- mg source of this proposal, the possible significance of~it is undoubted.As regards Morocco, England is not so much entangled sisewhere as to allow France or any other Power to obtain a dominating footing there.She feels that her position at Gibraltay would be best secured by s st: Lu tive ruler on the other side the straits.As Exglishmen read the Iat- est news, Morocce will not yet be added to ths chain of Eastern questions, which, as one journal deciares to-day, link t, Turkey, Persia, ism, and China one lexing pightmare.As regards Somaliland, the situstion from the English standpoint is foeus- sed with accuracy in the following imaginary dialogue hesded

He-he!

One could only weep with her and tell her of Jesus à and bis beavenly home.The need for ing soon passed away, but nut befors one felt that one household of Indies and their women servants had thoroughly heard the Gospel of our Lord and Saviour, Mrs.14 sent beaatiful presents, and when she had her seven- tisth birthday feast my fellow-worker and I were the honored guests.Yet ona wished that their lives had been plelded to the Lord, and that he might honored im their homes.Please for pray for these.Another lady, s Mra Ch\u2019en, à rels- leaping up into the sky, and |- had |- tive of 14 Hung Chang\u2019s, has lately invited me to her house severa} en.I have twice been to dinner with her.They have & very large house, more and than comfortable\u2014mueb that s really beautiful from a Chinese standpoint, and a great many foreign things bought in Shanghai.These people are very friendly, and mot at sll suspicious.The lady in this beuse is an invalid, snd eannot move frow ber chair unless lifted.They are quite willing to listen to the Gospel, and they also call their servants to Tisten.This family had a cousin at one of the large American universities who was » brillant student, but who over-stud- jed, and bas lately died in America.His body bas been brought home, and thers has been great lamentation over im.Sometimes I am called to these rich homes to an opium ease.Recently 1 was at one.It was a beautiful home.The case was one where the daughter- in-law bad quarrelled with her mother- in-law.When I went in I saw that the whole household was upret.The lady of the house came out to meet me with all her sccustomed courtesy and dignity, but her face was perfectly le, and her eyes so bright that À! new she was very much excited.They took me through many courts into the room where the girl of twenty-three was, [ saw at once, dying.The room was all in confusion, and the servants were weeping bitterly.Only that morning she had been in fife and health; now it was too Iste.I noticed sil the beautiful appointments of a rich young woman's room, but Satan had prevailed in that life, and got his prey.Already on ons of the chairs were the red death-clothes, and ere I left they were dragging off her wearing-apparel to put these on.Please Loir À for Chinese women, rich and poor.Ob, they need so sorely & Saviour's love! We have one or two friends amongst these ladies who real ly seem interested, and who are studying their Bibles and praying.Our earnest desire is that they may come wholly out om the Lord's side.I have told you of only a few of these dear women.Would that T eould let vou see them\u2014their sweet, beautiful man- mers and loving ways.Yet back of these are awful sorrows, and sometimes more awful sins.May God make our lives and words to bring light and life into these dark hearts!

priscess who recently left her husband the privilege of praying in churches of that denomination in Saxony.Such a decree would be à niere ex- premion of spite, as the lady is self exiled from Saxony.The Princess cen pray, if it be in her heart to do so, at least 8s acceptably outside of a church of the Pharisees as within it.Who ever heard of a church or temple of religion, Christian or heathen, that forbid to any poor sinner the privilege of prayer.It is pomibly excommunication thst is re ferred to, which is quite another thing.Even then, when the Saxon Church, at the instanee of the Saxon Court, begins to purge iteclf it may have occasion to conauit that law of the Kingdom ot Heaven which says \u2018Let him that is without sin cast the fret etone.\u201d For a Christian church te forbid a sinmer to pray within its precincts would be to excommunicate itself.\u2014 The three Boer leaders wbo recently arrived in the United States with the intention of going cn a lecturing tour

they appeared on the platform there was nobody in the hall to hear them.To the reporters who dropped in they endeavored to explain how it was they had no audience.The trues resson, however, was that

generously with the Boers, there was ne politienl capital to be made out of them.Bo long as the Boers were fighting they had the sympathy of all who take the aide of the under dog.But when the fight wae ended and it was seen that the defeated were being fairly treated, active interest in them ceased.No doubt many people ore sorry for the Beers, but the lecture business is à different matter, and

Semate by the cot erie of eastern men who destared their opposition to the treaty from the starl.That thir action was mot dictaled by sny broad principle of statesmanship is shown by the remarkable score of advantages the advocates of the treaty claimed would acerue to the United States through its adoption.It was pointed eut thet st the present time the United States expert to Newfound: lend

brother in prison, possibly because he was a dangerous pretender to the throne.A rebellion is got up by persons who have no special interest in this brother and presumably no commission from him, but who use his name as their war-cry.The Sultan, let us suppose, sends to the brother and asks if be ie responsible for this movement.He protests, probably truly, certainly wisely, his complete innocence and loyalty.Fortunately for both, the young Sultsn sees his way elear to take him at his word, makes him governor of the metropolitan province, gives him « solema entry into Fes.and, according te one acecunt, gives him command of the troops.This dramatic re versal of fortune for the brother in followed by an equally extraordinary change of attitnde on the part of the surround.fling insurgent tribes, whe suddenly be come ali loyal, and let ws hope with the orthodox sequel that all goes happily after that.It ie possible that the brother\u2019s imprisonment was more a measure of kindness than of mistrust, as it is impossible in the east for persons im his positions to escape being made the centre of plots even against their will, snd without their knowledge.\u2014 The Methodists of the United States have eubecribed more than the twenty million dollars required for the proposed twenty million century fund.When the movement was begun four years ago doubt was freely expressed whether the adberents of the church would respoud te so huge & demand, but the result bas proved that the bishops did not mis judge the zeal mand generosity of their people.It was a bold snd splendid thought which prompted them to ask for a million dollars for every century of the Christian era to demonstrate to the world the devotion of the Methodists of the United States to the cause of Chris tian progress.Twenty centuries of Christisnity, only two centuries sinos the birth of John Wesley, and only one hua- dred and sixty-three years since the beginning of Methodism.And Bo the land from which the greatest pido | Christianity in modern times ret ed and dimppointed man, ia given hie magnificent assurance of the truth of his mission and of its sublime success.When the bumble beginnings of Methodism are called to mind and it is remembered how its preachers, going about on foot in poverty and often in want, preaching the Gospel to the poor in obedience to the divine injuaction, despised, abused, lampooned, persecuted, the rise and spread of the Wesleyan faith seems truly mirs- culous.But it began like Christianity itself by carrying the hope of sslvation to the neglected and forlorn poor.It vucceeded because it was carried on in the spirit of Him who first brought the glad tidings te men.fp \u2018The Minneapolis \u2018Journal\u2019 says that an active campaign in favor of reciprocity with Canada by the North-Western Reciprocity League will be started in a féwr weeks.The plans of the founders of the league are \u2018to line up the mer \u201cchants and jobbers of the north-west \u201cstates in support of the movement; to \u2018bring pressure to bear upon the con- \u2018greesional representatives of those * states and force them to take sides, and \u2018te block legislation in Congress on be \u2018half of the east, unless the east con.\u2018cedes the demands of the north-west.\u2019 The chairman of the league, Mr.J.C.Eliel, says that it is the intention of the organization to line up the business men of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, and all the other states which seek a market in Canada.Al though a canvass would probably show that the majority of the men interested in this new league are supporters of the geners] principle of reciprocity, yet reei- procity with Canada is the point of greatest interest at present, and the executive committees will hold à conference with Senator Clapp within a short time, and the first steps will be taken to enlist the sid of the congressmen from the northwestern states.This is very interesting, as showing that the reciprocity movement is gathering force on the other.side of the line, but our friends of the North-West must add to their platform the plank of \u2018arbitration of the Aliska boundary question\u2019 before trade reciprocity is likely to be serivusly considered in Canada.The last reciprocity negotiations were broken off because the United States arrogantly refused ue the most qb- vious justies concerning the boundary.\u2014\u2014\u2014 As to whether -the Putrie\u2019 belongs to Mr.Tarte or the TAberul party is « question which will have to be decided among

suficiently subservient er gan, bad several dissppointing experi: emces.He net up the \u2018Leader\u2019 in Toronto, but after a while Mr.James Beaty, who controlled it, became intrect- able, and he started the \u2018Mail\u2019 After « few years ita mensger, Mr.Bunting, became estranged, and the \u2018Empire\u2019 was brought into existence.These two strug: gled for possession of à field where there was valy room for one, and at last became amalgamated when business considers: tions became of more pressing importance than party purposes.In all these cases the supporters of the Conservative party supplied the momey to found the papers, which became private! propecty through naturel business processre.The moral to be draws from this briel his tory ia that mo paper can svecced ne à mere party organ.It must at least soem to bave some individuality and opinion of its own.The public instincts are right, in this respect that they turn from the daily dose of what an oficial mouthpiece would have the people think and believe.If a political party were a umit, instead of what it is, a con- gerite of units, frequently at jogger heads, there would be a possibility of ite having an organ that would be faithful under all circumstances.But even the despotic government of Russia bas constant trouble in keeping its subsidized press in order, for the prene of a party is like the tongue of mau, an umraly member that requires ceaseless watchfulness.1t is, however, to the eredit of the jour nalistic conscience that thers is some limit to the servility even of newspapers established by political parties and subsidised by governmeuts.That Britain and Germany committed a blander is their nction towards Vene- suela has been held by a French paper calling attention to the terms of the treaty by which The Hague tribuns! was established.Had the two powers con- suited that instrument before proceeding to coerch the South American republic, they would have found a way out of the difficulty in seccordance with what must now be regarded as a priaciple of inter national law established by the treaty which constituted The Hague court.The particular clause referred to reads: \u201cThe \u201csignatory powers consider it a duty, in \u201ccase à sharp conflict should break out \u201cbetween two or more of them, to re * mind these that the permanent court is \u2018open to them.\u201d Anuther clanas declares: &| me signatory powers agres that in case! \u201cof'a grave disagreement or.comflict, be- \u201cfore sppealing to arms they will have \u2018recourse, no far as circumstances will \u201callow, to the good offices or mediation \u201cof one or more of the friendly powers.\u2018 Independently of this recourse, the sig \u201cnatory powere consider it useful that \u2018one er more powers that are not con- \u2018cerned in the ocuflict should offer of \u2018 their own initiative, ne far as the cir- \u2018camatances lend themselves to it, their \u2018good offices or their mediation to the * disputing states.\u2019 It is certainly extraordinary that a case should have so soon arisen in which not one of the powers ww its way clear to offer the good offices it was pledged to exercise, and neither Britain nor Germany seems to have given à thought to the arbitration court before ordering the blockade of Venezuelan ports.Kven the government of the United Rtates, whith held the key of the situation, did mot intervene till called upon, and then only after s state of war had been declared.The Hague treaty presumably mever contemplated a esse in which one of the parties simply insulted the rest by leaving their tepresentations unanswered, and in which it was therefore presumable that neither would the court look at the case nor would the recaleitrant power heed its decisions if it gave aay.The United States bas practically hauled its waman.nerly protegé into court by the ear.The differences between the United Ritates and Colombia in the Panama cana) negotiations now mainly relate to the site of the annuity to be paid.The United States has increased :ts offer to ten million dollars cash and & hundred thousand dollars yearly, but the Colombian Government insists upom six bun.dred thousand dollars yearly.As ne cording to the present draft of the treaty the term of the lease is for ene hundred years, with privilege of remewnl indefinitely at the mle option of the United Htates, the latter regarda the «\u201cnual tribute required by Colombia as much too high.The treaty, however, calle for the concession to the United States of the custome administration and revenues at the two terminal ports, as well as the lighthouse service, with no restrictions as to the customs tariff, tonnage dues, light dues, and other sources of revenue.Haring the right to charge what it pleases, the United States will have every op portunity to tetmburss herself for any samuitios she may psy to Colombia, says the latter.Besides that, the two hundred and fifty thousand dollars now paid by the Panama Railway Company to Colombia for its franchise is to be inte the total of six hundred thousand Giflare \u2018Quéinanded.2 11's ales wrgnd m0

and practical financiers, by the com: clusion that in epite of all double and hesitations which the recent exploiting of United States in wstry has provoked, the bright spot ia the financial prospect is industrial Amecies.The financial communities of the United States during the past two years have been grasping at shadows and losing the substance.The energies of the stock exchanges have been absorbed by the race for this mythical wealth, and in piling up heaps of debt at the banks, whose existence calls forth warping words from foreign eritice.But it must mot be forgotten that Americs still bolds the rdalities, which will be there after all the bubbles of the specu- laters snd promotors have burst.The survey of the sitwation is therefore oa the whole optimistic, and the \u2018Even ing Post\u2019 concludes that speculation will mot be emcouraged; that, indeed, there is to be found in the review war rant for concluding that the penalty which follows recklessness in the use of capital may not even yet bave been vie ited on the guilty; still, development will contines end the inevitable reckoning may be awaited with less unessines than was felt a few months ago.The six main influences contributing to make up the real financial history of 1008 are stated as follows :\u2014(1) The mtisfactory harvests, notably for corn; (3) The over straining of American bank resources\u2014 chiefly besause of the pushing of new \u2018flotation\u2019 schemes when the country\u2019s whole capital was needed in normal iu- dustry; (3) The enormous incresse in the country\u2019s import trade, aleng with à fall in its agricultural exports; (4) The great rise in cost of the raw materia) of industry, including labor; (5) The determined effort of capitalists to seat them- |; selves permanently and irrevocably in eontrai of their various enterprises; (6) The wild and reckless outbursts of stock speculation oa sn enormous scale, by millionnaire stockjobbers backed by bank leans, snd the public's cool refusal to let itself be entangled.Under one or another of these subdivisions may be classified pretty much all the important incidents of the year as applied te the Unit- od Btates.tp The story ia told that King James the First submitted to his learned men » scientific question for solution, mamely, \u2018Why does a dead fish weigh more than « living one?The question wes de bated long until a scientitic but illogical Scotchman remarxed, \u2018I doot the fac\u2019.The experiment was tried and it was found that s fish neither gained nor lost weight by giving up the ghest.We have had our correspondent \u2018R.L.'s\u2019 poser sbout thermometers put to the mama tert.\u2018R.L.\" says of two thermometers similarly placed if one be fanned the mercury there: in will be lowered.Our report is that no amount of fanning will persuade the thermometer to drop so long as its bulb is dry.If the bulb is wet the evapors: tion cools it and fanning bastens evap.eration.The smount by which the thermometer can be lowered by keeping its bulb wet and allowing the water to evaporate depends on the amount of moisture which tbe air already contains.Every meteorological) station lias a thermometer whose bulb is kept wet by s piece of lamp-wick, one end of which dips into water.By comparison of the a temperstures of the ordinary thermeme- ter and the \u2018wet bulb,\u2019 the precentage of moisture in the air, an important point in weather prophecy, is determined.The svaporation of perspiration keeps the skin below the temperature of the atmosphere ia hot weather, and fanning merely increases the cooling by keeping up the supply of dry air.It is quite true thet when air is compressed it becomes heated.In the liquid air machine the sir is first compressed to one-two-hwn- dredth of its original bulk, the heat produced being carried away by the running water in which the cylinders and connections are immersed.The air is they allowed to cool iteelf by expanding, in aa arrangement of pipes which concentrates all the cooling into & small part of the air, which is liquifled.The (rests of late epring snd early sutumn are due

about eight cents o bushel, corn ten, and ca\u2019s nearly twenty vents.The met decline in meats from the top price for the year was small, although there has been a sharp decline from the top price which was æuched on August 1.The decline in dairy end garden products is only moderate, the advances in butter, cheese, hay, raisins end milk almost balancing the declines in potatoes, other vegetables, and apples.The moderate advanes.in the clothing clase was due to the almost general advance in the prices of raw materials, including wool, eotton, silk and rubber.It is to be borne in

loss of life and physital injuries to many and men- tel sufferings to many more.Apart from that, nearly all our dates are joy- fai ones.\u2014\u2014 WHICH WAY ?The Grand Trenk authorities have very continental line, but thers seems good reason to believe that it will run north of Lake Winnipeg.In the first place their application for a charter includes Keewatin among the territories through which they to run, which would be ed the line ran south of the lake.Again, since they must get well to the north before they can get the country to themselves, the sooner they leave the neightorhood of the Canadian Pacific line the better.Finally, the Canadian Pucific Railway Company only built the line along the porth shore eof Lake Buperior because they had to, and it is so expensive to operate that they found it cheaper to buy a controlling interest in the Minneapolis, Bt.Paul and Sault Ste Marie Railway, snd carry as much ss possible of their western freight for fourteen hundred miles through United States territory.It is probable that they took tbe best location in that region, eo that the Grand Trunk must either take an entirely different route, or build an enormously expensive line, - which will never pay running expenses.The chiel disadvantage of « line run ning north of Lakes Nipigon and Winnipeg would be the lack of a port at the western end of Lake Superior.As it is .always chesper to send freight by water than by land, it would be rather & serious thing to have to carry grain as far cast as Michipicoten or even Heron lay, instead of getting it afioat at Fort Wil: liam.This difficulty would probably bs overcome by building à beanch rus- ning west of Lake Nipigon to Port Arthur, \u2018 If the eastern end of the line passes through the mining districts of Sudbury and Michipicotes, there is a choice of two routes.The line may start at North Bay and rv .beside the Canadian Pacific line to Budbury, or it may start from Gravenhurst and run south of Lake Nipissing end acroee the French River to Budbury.The latter would be a longer line to build, but would make the distates to the svaboard shorter, and would open up a new piece of country.From Sudbury to Michipicoten the lime may either follow the Canadisn Pacific main line, or run to Seult Ste.Marie, and run over tbe tracks of the Algoma Central & Hudson Bay, Mr.Clergue's railway.The Clergue enterprise is rather \u2018bard up\u2019 at present, and would probably make very ressouable tèrms.\u2018That line lies, however, st right angles to the general course of the new railway, and would only be useful as bringing Sault Ste.Marie into touch with it.The Grand Trunk may, on the other hand, strike north-west from North Bay, to get ssner souiitty for running through.In THE MONTREAL WEEKLY

Saskatchewan river and its northern braach to ssmewbare about Edmonton.From there there are two pesible routes, one running west through the Yellow.head Pass to Bute Iniet, acrom the mrait and down Vancouver Island te Vietoria, and the other north-west to the Pesos river, and through either the Peace or the Pine passes to Port Bimp- son or Port Kaesington, at the mouth of the Skeens river.The Yellowhead Pass was the one selected by Sir Sand- ford Fleming for the Canadian Pacific line to rea through, but was discarded ia favor of the present line, a hundred and fifty miles further south.Sir Sandford still considers that the Yellowhead Pass is the best, being fifteen hundred feet lower, and having ooly one summit to cross instead of two.The line he favor.éd ren down the Thompson river, joining the Fraser and the present Cans- di Pasific Railway line at Kamloops.ian There was, however, s line surveyed from the Yellowhead Paes to Bute Io- Jet and Victoria.This wae considered inferior to the Vancouver line, but subsidies, such as the British Columbia Government seems ready to heap upon any line connesting Vietoria with the rest of the worl, might easily make it worth building.Aside from subsidies, however, the Peace river to Port Bimp- ling seems to have the advantage.t would open up the Pesce river valley, fertile region of temperste climate, with four hundred miles of river navigable for large steamboats, and would probably become the principal route for sending supplies to the Klendike.The lime from Fdmonton to Port Simpson was surveyed recently by the Department of Raflways and Canals, and its cost was estimated st about twenty-three millions The Grand Trunk authorities profes: ta, bear mo ill-will to the Trans-Canada, and remark that there is room for three or

for his intention to try to drive out corruption in connection with the Ontario elections.Mr.Blake goes on to castigate unmerei- fully the party to which he bas always belonged for its deeds of omission and commission.He describes Ontario as 8 seething mass of corruption; many of the people having been educated to the low level of offerings themselves as hogs ready to be bought in the market by the highest bidder; barristers, solicitors, merchants, constables and others prostituting their position for s consideration ; and those who sit in the highest places greedily scospting all the benefits that low from this unhallowed and degrading traf.Be in votes.Mr.Bloke also reminds the people that no agent has been cdi missed who has assisted in or organised this corrwption, and no victory refused that has been won by corruption\u2019s sid.More or less all this is true also sg re gard the Federal elections; offences against the slection laws have been regarded as vonial by both parties, and it bas been difficult to obtain convictions against agente and impossible, against principals.We in this provinee sre in Bo position to throw stones st Ontario.In the Brunet election the agents were given carte blanche, the vouchers for the money so vilely weed were destroyed by the principal bimeelf, so that he might appeer innocent of guilty knowledge, and i ti i i although, after long processes, his seat wpervistent was declared vacant and he was dis franchised for seven years, the laws are auch tbat he is sble, by taking his case to appeal, to continue to misrepresent the St.James\u2019s conetitueney for another session of parliament.\u2018There are those who will condemn Mr.Blake for his \u201c attack upon his own perty,\u2019 bul the ms.jority of the pesple will applasd him for his truth and courage in branding by its right name a shame that hs: too | long been nllewed to pollute our public lite.As Mr.Blake mys, \u2018We want \u2018trwe and vies men at the helm, whe \u2018will with the positien accept the se \u2018æmpanying responsibility and, like \u2018 Matesmen, give honest jagielation and \u2018just administration; or else give plase \u2018to thdse who are willing to earry on \u2018the government of our country om \u2018these lines\u2019 Men like Mr.Blake, if they will continue to raise their voices, oan assuredly sucosed in * exorcising from our midst this demon of corruptiom, which is poisoning our nations! life.\u2019 In the times of Walpole end Old Harum England was far more corrupt in her public life than we are to-day.Now she has the cleanest public life of any country on earth, What her Peels, Gladstones, Cobdens, Brights and others like them did for her, our true reformers can as easily do for us, if they are determined not to weary in well-doing.But this reform is not likely to begin, as Mr.Blake expects, by a few more people voting Conservative than Liberal at the Ontario by-elections on Jan.7.Hoth parties sre tarred with the same brush and equally need cleansing, and the pure men of both parties must work together before the end can be attained which Mr.Blake desires : \u2018A desire to cleansé \u2018and uplift our province; to introduce \u2018 truth, honesty and righteousness, which \u2018alone exalt end make great a mation.\u2019 At à time when people make revives it would be well if many would join bands with Mr.Blake and all true men and determine to have our Augean stable thoroughly scrubbed out.\u2014_\u2014 GERMAN CONSTITUTIONALISM.The Germun chancellor has forced his tariff through parliament without debate.It is & considerably more drastic tariff than the government wanted.Its pam age was the result of an agreement between the Emperor's government and the parliamentary majority, composed of the two most resctionary elements in the country, the Roman Catholic clergy and the land-owners.As far as the suppres #00 of parliamentary debate is coucern- ed the country in the main rather approves of it, seeing that thers was po question as to which side had the major ity, and the socialists, who are in the van of the opposing forces, were reduced to the use of all sorts of obstructive tactics, endless talk against tive, countless divisions and the invocation of every di- iatory form of procedure being added to invective and denunciation of a danger cus and undignified sort.Of »ll this the country as & whole is heartily tired, and it was quite ready to my that, if what used to be derided by French kings as government by debating club had come to this, the nooner debate wes cut short the better.But in the grievance that bas underlain these obstructive tactics there is no such exhsusted acquiescence.Rather will that gri be rendered the more explosive by: being prevented from sputtering.Purliamentary talk and tactics have been s sort of safety valve for the rapidly generating steam of the disaffected labor element; locking the safety valve is a poor way of reducing the steam pressure.l The grievance is that at the election whieh returned the present Reichstag, though the Sceislists polled three votes to two polisd by the Conservatives, the latter have nevertheless nearly twice -a many members in the House.Of the extent of the suffrage, the German populace bas certainly Bo cause te complain.The suffrage is universal, and the enor: mofis majority of radical voters is due to this fact.But this advantage of numbers is rendered nugatory by the faet that thers is no numerical equality in the constituencies.The principal social phenomenon of the last Lall century bas been the comparstively rapid growth of cities.In all countries, as a consequenss, cities are genersily under-represented on the basis of representation by populs- tion.In Germany this under-represen- tation is extreme, Thu fact that the Eocialist majoritv is eonstantly growing is spreading corsternation throughout the country.Sul only do the conser vative classes acquiesce in the suppres sion of the privilege of parlixmentary debate, but they would greatly rejoice in the withdrawal of the suffrage from what they regnrd as the dangerous classes.The Emperor himself has ominously ssid that he does not wish for the German people freedom to govern badly.It cannot be denied that the views held by the most aggressive Socialists are dangerous and subversive of the whole social systen.In many cases they are avowediy anarchictio, although socialism proposes to iteclf an abeolute despotisrn rather than anarchy.But such extreme and impossihie views are probably only to the fore because of the repression and oppression which ereates them.This tariff, for instance, whose effect iv to render all that the poor man needs dearer, and which has actually added heavy burdens on foodstuffs, not for the building of a navy, but for the benefit of the landed inter.eats, is à specimen of this oppressie=, No ober person could contempl- wa without trepidation the sudden devolution of power upon the party which finde ite voice in \u2018Vorwaerts,\u2019 but it is probable that were the government of the empire in the hands of » more moderate party, such as thst which just now rules \u2018u France, the Socialists would ressive demanding euch moderste things as would be intelligent experiments in gov ernment.Many of thase experiments would be mischievous, but experience is the only authoritative teacher in such matters.USAGE IS LAW.There is wouble in the Dominios Methodist Chureh at Ottawa over the pastor's gown.Part of the congregs- tion, we presume the large majority, wants the minister to wear a gows, 66 does the minister of Bt.James Methodist Chureh in Montreal.In Bt.James Church the gown is usage, and usege is law in Methodism.Why the wearing of the gown is usœye there and against usage everywhere eles in Canads is » matter of purely historical interest, except in so far as it proves that there is no law but that of umge, either for or againat the practice.Those in the Dominion Church who desire the gown memarialised Conference to smoction ite ase there, but Conference declined Lo take action.Meantime the gown continues to be worn.There are those in the congregation, howsver, who eee evil in the gown.The question which these are re volving in their minds is whether to make fight within the congregation or quietly to secede.Either course would be to make much of a gown.The feeling against anything thst smacks of .im is very strong in many t denominations.On the other hand, there is a genera] tendency in all denominations towards circumstance and form in religious obesrvance, though this tendency is continuously fought against, and revolts against it of age long effect occasionally occur.The Dominion Church seems to be having in epitome the experiences of the charch universal.Seeing that there must al ways be some form, it is probably wise, as far as possible, to trest such matters of forms as minor and to look wpon them with the tolerance of the apostle who, in case of « like diversity of opinion, remarked that he who observed & day observed it \u2018to the Lord\u2019 and be who did not observe & day followed that course in the name of the Lord.The course of the minister under such circumstances would, we presume, be comparatively simple, namely, to bid the congregation settle it among themseives.Jobn Wes® ey and\u2019 the clergymen who joined him in the founding of Methodism wore gowns.They, however, regarded themselves as priests while they looked on the first Methodist preachers as mere laymen.The ministers of the Methodist Church sre neither priests on the one hand nec laymen on the other.They are presbyters, like the ministers of the Presbyterian Chgreb, and the latter, while cordially ebjuring sscerdotaliem, in many cases wear gowns.Yet it is probable that a smaller proportion does » now than in former times.\u2014\u2014 THE FOLLIES OF RACE.It is the genius of Rudyard Kipling to be a voice to everything with which he comes in contact.The beasts of the jungle and even locomotives begin to converse as he approaches them.He is especially a voice to the passing whime of the English nation, and when that nation has a spasm of feeling of any kind he cannot choose but utter it, whether it be for good or harm.With what knowledge we have, we quite share the common sentiment that tho British Foe eign Office would have acted more wisely to avoid bunting in couples with Ger many again, after the cheating game Germany played upon her under like conditions in China and at à time when Germany's demands were far greater and lees dignified than those of Britain, and when Germany is not only the mailed fist partner, as before, but has the freer hand to make reprisals; at a time, too, when Germany eould to her own thinking play ne better card than to get Great Britain at Joggerheads with the United States.Without, however, being free to approve the slliance, we do believe that one principal object of 1t \u2018was to soften the absolutely inano asperities which had arisen between the two peoples, at first almost exclusively on ihe side of the Germans.We do not doubt but that the monarchs of both peoples, deploring this bitterness, were watching with the keenest interest this somewhat desperate scheme for bringing them into mutual good-will, Never was any nb.ject more to be desired, and we canrot think the impulsive muse of the poet was well inspired when ste set him to fanning the embers of race feeling among his countrymen agwinst \u2018the Gotb od shamelem Hun,\u2019 by which he meant to my that the rapacity and grosses of their savage forefathers still survive n the Gernian people.There is no doubt some truth in the sccumtion, but what good is there im it?Buch expressions remind one of Dr.Johnson's coarse though only half-mesnt reflections on the Bcotoh and the lillibuleros about the wild 'rishry which did s0 much to ere ate discord in former times.Indeed, s German might setert by queting Mat.thew Arveld's walovely porteayal of ine eo, a lated te the Gotb and the Hum.By all means let us get out of 8 very ushappy opisede sll the good thers is in it, amd become friends again if we can.Ge mans have already fought shoulder to shoulder with Thomas Atkins in modern wars, and be has voted them prime good fellows.Mr.Kipling will probably be very ill indeed before he gets asother telegram from the Kaiser about \u2018our common race.\u2019 \u2014 CHILD LABOR.Child labor in the textile factories of Germany, whieh is practisslly child slave ery, has sroused public attention in that country.It is stated that more than siz hundred thoussnd littic ones, most of whom an: under ten years of age, are am ployed «m manufacturing.They are described as puny, delieste little old men and worsen, sitting all day in a vitiated atmosphere for a few pence, and never knowing what it is to play and be children.Their food consists of bread and potatoes, and, as might be expected, they die off fast.The mme conditions exist in tbe cotton milla of the Southern Bates, where every attempt lo regulate this inhuman system has been met with determined opposition by those interested in its continusnce.The mill-owners imaist that they must bave cheap labor to enable them to compete in the markets of the world, but nations that permit this slaughter of the innocents are paying a terrible price for the doubtful advantage which comas from supplying other countries with cheap cotton, When competition in manufacturing raches the stage wher: chilires are takes from school and gathered from the country to tend machines ae soon as they are able te handle the threads, it cesses to be a paying industry for the country, even though the investors may be satisfied with their: dividends.That a generation should pr up in Germany uneducated would an rob otable ret , and would rob that country its chief advantage in the economic le.There is, of course, po possibility of any such retrogression in the Southern States, for it would be dificult for the poor whites of that ion to retrograde.The desire to send their children to factories has even been defended as exhibiting a rudimentary desire for better things for them.To draw the rural white race 1n the South, however, into a servitude far more vitally exhausting than the cut- door work of the cotton fields would be ractically to hand that country over to he blacks.Peoples which support themselves by child labor will in another gen: eration find themselves chained to me- chines under taskmasters who will give them no of escape.In the State Legislature of Georgia an effort has besa made to check the evil by the introduction of a bill which forbids the employment of children under twelve years of age in factories.This is ibly equivalent to à higher limit farther noi but it is significant of the ineness the lower classes in the South that no other state legislature in the Soutb has moved in the matter.READ WITH GROWING INTEREST.The Rev.John Grey, of Orillia, Ont, renewing for \u2018World Wide\u2019 says: As one of the subscribers for de \u2018World Wide,\u201d I can bear

Well.Merry Christmas, more, and a Happy New Year!\u2019 Loretta Edgemore smiled at the smphasized \u2018and.\u2019 She knew what it meant\u2014the hope of her return.She had worked for fourteen years with the firm of Maye, Daye & Co.and now had been offered\u2014a new and strange departure for the old house\u2014a partnership in the concern, with full control of one department.They had been her bankers during the years of her careful, conscientious service, and now offered her this safe investment for her money, as well as a position well fitted to her cultured taste sad exceptional ability.That she should hesitate an hour on the question was a surprise to Mr.Manfred Maye, the senior partner.Indeed, her delay somewhat whetted his ever-alert business instinct, and he thought he scented another proposition somewhere competing with theirs.But Miss Edge- more vouchsafed him no information save what is recorded in the foregoing conversation.On the old E ore farm all was leasant bustle.retty\u2019 was comin ome for two weeks.She did not visi home as often these late years as the love of father and mother craved, but, of course, how could it be \u20ac ?Years of busines life in the city had brought around her many friends, interests, and demands which did mot touch the farm circle at all.The dear oid people were mighty proud of \u2018Lor- etty,\u2019 and well might they be.When she was only fifteen she had begun to have ambitions.With a busy young brain she invented ways to earn mon for herself, saved up enough for bust- ness college, took a thorough course, and in the twenty-five years since her ambition awoke she had made a clean, bright business record for herself, culminating in the honor paid her by Maye & Daye.Vife! You haven't forgot how Loretty likes those mutton tumovers, ve you?And the berry patties \u201cNo, Joel.1 have forgotton nothing \u2014mothers never forget.\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t they?! What's the matter, Jora?! Not sorry the girl's coming heme?\" The farmer stretched out his labor- scarred hand, and tenderly touched his wife's cheek.She shook her head, the tears falling faster at the loving movement.\u2018I'm just thinking, Joel\u2014maybe I'm ting selfish.They say old people 0.But there won't be many more home-comings for the lase\u2014we're getting well on in years.And\u2014and\u2014I'd like to see more of her.She\u2019s our only » \u201cThere, there, Lora! You're a bit blue.Tired.eh?Tell you what, when Loretty comes U'll take you away for a day\u2014our wedding-day comes then\u2014 and we'll go off to the city ourselves.It's all right, Lora, only we must not t in the girl's way.She has her le to live, you know, when we are gone.It was just a plain old farmhouse E\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ______ Advertisements.\u2018A BREATHING SPELL, If the consumptive could only keep from getting worse it would be some encourages ment.Scott's Emulsion at least ives tired nature a breathin spell.The nourishment and strength obtained from Scott's Emulsion are a great relicf to the exhausted system, 1 This treatment alone often enables the consumptive to er force enough to throw oft the disease altogether, Scott's Emulsin bri strength to the lungs and foi to the body.Bond fre Prov Temple.SCOTT & DOWNE.Chamiets.Eh .Toroate ury.Jeel and Lora were \u2018plain folks, and in the busy care of fleid and fre- side, catile apd dairy, and all the other work of a fay, which is \u2018never done,\u201d they found no time for \u2018fixing up.\u2019 The square little parlor had the same horsehair eet that Loretta used to slide off in vain attempts to keep awake on the lonely Bundays when only the parlor wes used.walls were dingy, and everything bore marks of age awd wear.The last of the \u2018good things\u2019 were set in careful array in the pantry.Mother aad father were otiff and serene in their best clothes, always dom- | ned for the first hours of the city girl's visit, She came, and they blessed her for her earnest, kindly ways, her thoughtful, generous gilts, Yer loving reverence to thelr years and their parenthood.Ah, yes, they were \u2018mighty proud of Loretty!* But\u2014and the trembling old hands secretly brushed away the tears which would fall, for she was their \u2018only ome,\u2019 and their hearts yearued to \u2018see more of her\u2019 Ah, the silent hunger of love whiza feeds om ils tears and smiles! They had some long, quiet even by the big hearth-fire, and the dear o poo! ple listened with eyes and Hushed cheeks to their girl's stories of the city.She was always careful to make of things she kane and thus they shared in some measure the wide and varied outlook of her life.\u2018Then, leaving her in charge for a couple of days, these lovers of almost half s century went a-jaunting to the town where they had Tnown the sunny days of \u2018courting.\u2019 Mother was resplendent in a long, soft, warm cloak, and fine new bonnet, which was stylish, and yet kept the searching wind from aching eas; and father laughed at the neursiga-breeding east wind in his fur cap and overcoat with great fur collar.Who wouldnt be \u2018mighty proud\u2019 of a qu! like \u2018Loretty\u2019! So they celebrated ther wedding day with tears snd amiles, and then\u2014enc! with a hidden burden\u2014went back to the farm, for Loretta could only be with them a few days more, and\u2014who could tell what might happen before another year had rolled around?In their absence Loretta had gone ail over the old house.It was a time of reminiscence.\u2018Up attic\u2019 she found her cradle, and remembered how she used to rock in it \u2018the little brother that died.\u201d In the parlor were the old al bums with the queer faded old pictures.But more memory-awaking than all else were the unchanged scenes from the low windows with their shining, time scratched little panes.The distant hills, the rolling pasture, the dark woods, the winding creek-\u2014what was there in it sll that wooed her s0, and moved her to tears?She looked around on the sge- stained walls, the old, well-preserved for niture, the iew booke\u2014her own gifts of later what it must be cne\u2019s life in such surroundings! hat a contrast to the city suite of rooms, the artistic wali-paper, the Persian rug, the books, the pictures! Ah, but this vus honor had kept the hearth, where the lord's honor had kept the hearth, where her father and mother had lived out the of a united y life.Thus thought was ol, until \u2018the wed: ding-party\u2019 returned.Then there were tellings, and tears, and laughter again.\u2018Well, daughter, you'lMbe on joe way to the city soon again.Will you be quite 80 busy this next year?You couldn't come in oftener, could you said Joel, looking wistfully at his \u2018girl.\u2019 She made en attractive picture in her tailor-suit of blue, her snowy collar and cuffs, ber tastefully dressed hair, her air of refinement and ease and indliness.\u2018I expect I shall be busier than ever, father.But I will write just as oftea\u2014 cftener if you are lonely.\u2019 \u2018Lonely! O daughter\u2014-!\u2019 \u2018Why, mother, dear, what is the matter¥\u2014ior now sobs were shaking the mother's slight form.She shook her bead.\u2018Don\u2019t mind\u2014 me,\u2019 she said, brokenly, \u2018but\u2014I love you rloray\u2014and\u2014 u're all verve x \u2014my ol rt\u2014gets\u2014hungry-like.That's all.You've been dutiful end-\u2014 beautiful, child!\u2014but were old, aud\u2014 you mustn't mind.\u201d A veii dropped from Loretta\u2019s eyes.Had her father always been as white- haired, as bent, as tremulous, as be was tomght?Had mother aged thus in ten minutes?Why, ten years ago she was plump and rosy and browa-haired.How was it ber eyes had been \u2018bolden\u2019 thus?The mother got up and moved about ihe ruom, striving to regain her velf- control.Loretta noticed that the dear feet\u2014 once \u2018light as a fairy'r'\u2014dragged a little Silence sat with tne group before the dying five.Then the good-nights were quietly said.But wm thet quiet mouse three hearts kept watch.In loretia\u2019s toom the lamp burned all night; avd under its glow lay open her Bible at the und words, \u2018Honor thy father snd thy mother, that thy days may be jong in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee .When the day before New Year's came it seemed to the daughter that her par- «ute were graver and feebler than be lud been ever since ber comivg.\u2018Can vou stay and watch out the old year with us, child?\" they asked at breakfast, \u2018Yes, indeed.1 de not need to be in the city till the second.Yew, we will have am old-time watch-night.We will have uute and apples ani stories before the fire.\u2018Then father will pray, aid \u2018Len, while the little New Year is press- ng his face against the panes, we will ming the old hymn, \u201c\u2018Comw, let us «new our Journey pursue\u2019 We have dome it ever since 1 can remember\u2014we bree!\u201d Loretta spoke gaily, but her heart «nk as she noted the look of sadness ttle even more deeply on the faces of ier beloved ones.It wes & beautiful winter night, that ast might of tbe old year.drew lack the curtains and est by the hearth.alternately en} ying the stazlit scene of snow-crowned hills and the wonders which e picture-loring eye aiways finds \u2018im the holiow down By the flare.\u2019 But did mot talk much.7 full sway.\u2014well cared for, but devoid of lux- x THE MONTREAL When the \u2018grandfather\u2019 clock in the corner poicted five tes before midnight they were on ki sod Jeol poured out his heart to God ks aod praise for the past, trust and praise for the t and trust and praise for the future; and, above ai eop the steps of our child; sors bor lite bid ving-kindness! e t t! ae has been the crown of our old age.Now, O Father, as she her work, bless ud her a blessing! care old-0ur line\u2014we may mot meet again\u2014- keep thou us, 0 Lord, according to thy .we pray thee!\u2019 ln the distant city que were striking, guns were houming, horns and whistles and bells were clamoring the advent of the New Year.In the country the atar- lit stretches of smow-clad fickds lay wtill under the calm blue + All was well with God\u2019 world.The frost winked Jovially at the jolly red.twinkle from eT ont braci by the les) embracing, fire.Would another year bring together again?; have a New Year present, dear i ones,\u201d mid Loretta, standing between them, and drawing them closes to her.\u201cWould you like a New Year's present?\u201cYou are our best gift, darling\u2019 aur nqured the mother, brokenly.Loretta\u2019s laugh was aal with bappy tears.\"Well, that is just it.There is me ce on earth like this dear home, and \u2019m going to stay in it!

HOUNDS.\u2014_\u2014 Edwin Hollis tells the following interesting tale of coyote hunting in a recent number of the London \u2018Field\u2019: \u2014 in the first place I may say these are locally called wolves.For the bevefit of those who have had no experience of this form -of sport, 1 will give a short account of my first sleigh run with a wolf on a cattle ranch in the North-West Territory, Can, which was typical Sf many 1° bad afterward, To tattle and sheep breeders these troublesome beasts canse a deal of loss by ng newly born calves or sheep of an: for, if they once take k r of thesa, $ \u2018seem to preier to other food, although there are any quantity of prairke chickens, rabbits, ete., abagt.The hounds used on js ranch where 1 was staying are a gloss between a thoroughbred deer! bitch and a deerhound dog with a strain of mas tiff blood to give them the pluck to tackle a wolf, which, although a cowardly beast, requires a hound to hrve some courage to go in and stand the nasty bites he can give when cornered.We always took the hounds when riding or driving, for frequently as many 8s two or three wolves would be seen in the course of the day.Our best day was four kills.As the hounds run entirely by sight, and consequently lose the game if it can get into thick bush, we were by no means always successful, but some very enjoyable sport.Ou the day which I will describe, à lovely sunny day in the early sutumn, with about 10 degrees of frost and only about six inches of snow, three of us started out in a bob sleigh to fetch home & canpe which we bad been ue- ing for duck abooting on & Inke about three miles from home.Just after passing the home fence we saw a fox, and immediately cheered on the hounds, They dashed in pursuit, but, after a few hundred yards, it got to ground in a badger earth, of which there are a great deal too many to give much chance of killing a fox, &s ey take to ground at the first opportunity, whereas a woll only does s0 when very hard pressed.They only: use theft earths in the breeding ses- son.We then drove on, and had just got the csnoe loaded on the sleigh and were comforiably settled on it when we saw & wolf sitting up on a large slough (shallow poyd) about half a wile away.This ciently frozen for us to drive across : so, instead of going straight on, we circled round, to try and get closer for a start, but the wolf saw the hounds and made off: so.shouting \u2018Aaaway with him!\u2019 we sent off the hounds.Unfortunately, owing td some reeds on the edge of the slough, the hounds did not at first nee the wolf, so it got a good long start; but, having half a mile of open to cover before it reached any bush, they were only about two hundred yards behind when it arrived there, and were able to continue bustling it.We galloped after them as hard as r cold be tonight?.Worse, s firss a cold, then a cough itis.Colds always tend 0.4008 mous.as not yet suffi der her forward hoofs.we could go, every now and them

harder than ever to try sud get before them to keep him from getting into the thick bush at the end of the lake.When we thought we 6 fer erough we turned towsrd the », aloag t side of which the whole run had led us, to see if we could cut the trail if they had passed, but, finding no trail, we knew we were ahead, so work: ed back toward them, and arrived just in\u2019tîme to save the skin from getting badly torn, although t olf, a fine dog weighing 32 poun was dead.8x looking over our pack we found one bound had a nasty wound passing under the skin from near his eye to the angle of the mouth, which we were not shie to touch, as after a fight they aré very touchy to handle.Feeling very pleased at our success, wa threw the wolf on to the sleigh and started steadily for home, both hounds and horses having found three miles at Lest pace through ssow quite enough.1 personally immensely enjoyed the experience, as it was my first run in « sleigh.\u2014\u2014\u2014 FIERCE FIGHT WITH

disclosed by -the remarkable story of our peerage that s member of a noble family, however obscure he may be, and however far removed from a title, need never despair of waking up some morning and finding himself an edrl or a duke./ Pew of the stories of these unex: pected promotions are more remarkable than that of the present Duke of Hamilton, who, by the astonishing se quence of accidents, found himseil transformed, seven years ago, from an unknown lieutenant to.the premier peership of Scotland, with theee ducal titles and as many marquisates, to say nothing of earidoms and baronies sufficient to equip half-a-dozen aver- peers.> I slight was the pros t* of Lieutenant Alfred Douglas-Hamilton ever succeeding to the family honors may be gathered from the fact that, although he is the thirteenth Duke of Hamilton, he derives his descent from & third son of the fourth Duke, whe was born in the faraway seventeenth century, and that all his intermediate ancestors were younger sons.How mavy lives might in the ordinary course have come between the young Heutenant end the dukedom it is im- J possible to estimate: but, as it was said in riing rlance at the time of his accession The odds were thous: ands to one against his ever wearing the strawberry leaves.1t was by a similar series of lucky he nesidents that the present Duke of Portland suceeded to the title and wealth of the Bentincks, The non vf a third son, who in turn was n third son of the third Duke, there seemed as much chance of the young subsitern of the Guards ever being the lead of bis family es of his becoming Emperor of China.The fourth Duke alone had four sons, all of whom were considerate enough not to marry: and the third Duke was also hiessed with four sons, who were sufficiently amiable to make the way clear for the lucky 0 soldier.A Master William Grey first 1.opened his eyes in Newfoundland fifty years ago his prospect of a coronet would have been considered dear at half a crown; for his father was but the third son of the third son of an Earl of Stamford, and there were many lives between him and rank and fortune.His father was a poor clergyman, and the future Earl had to face many vicissitudes of fortune before he was suddenly exalted from the position of a London Diocesan Reader to be Earl of Stamford and Baçon Grey of Groby.Probably no one was more surprised than the late Earl of Caithness when he realized that he was heir to his very distant cousin, the fifteenth Earl.As a young man there had been so many lives between him and the title that he would have laughed at the very suggestion that one day he would wear an carl\u2019s coronet; and he made himself quite happy as a bank-agent in Scotland, while his son, the Earl of to-day.tended his farm and herded sheep io the States There was equally little chance of Mr.Augustus Arthur Perceval ever qualifying for a seat in the House of lords, for his father's poor Army ofticer, was a second son of the

of Chelsea Town Hall to the rank of earl, viscount, and baron by & series of accidents, only less remarkable than the hard blows that Fortune had deslt him before shh revolutionized his life in this

taking his seat in the House of Lords.The history of the Beliew family illustrates the strange vicissitudes by which a title may fall to a seqningly impossible person.At one time there were no fewer than ten lives between the present holder and the title, and Jet within the short space of two years every one of these intermediate lives was removed, four of them periebing together through the upsetting of a boat in a equall.The father of the present Lord Breadalbane was & poor Army captain, to whom the possibility of ever wearing an earl\u2019s coronet seemed as remote as the Greek Kalends.There were so many lives between him and the title that he did not even take the trouble to watch his prospect of suscession, until one day news reached him thet his very distant kinsman, the fifth Earl, had died, and that he, plan Captain John Campbell, was owner of nine titles of peerage and of nearly as many acres as there are in the whole county of Caithness.When Mr.Miles Stapleton became the eighth Lord Beaumont, in 1840, he was resuming a title that had been in abeyance since the faraway days of Henry VII, before Flodden was fought-# period of no less than 333 years dividing him from his predecessor in the title.And, more remarkable still.when Fir Jacob Astley became Baron Hastings in 1841 he resumed 8 which no one had held since the death of his ancestor, the sixth Baron, in 1391, à period of four centuries and a half.\u2014London \u201cTit-Béte Sts EXHIBITION BUILDINGS THREAT- \u2018The Alexander III.Bridge in Paris, opened in 1900, already gives signe of od Fs

COUNTRY ROADS In guing about the country we see a great variety of farming, snd a t deal of it would properly come under the head of slovenly, il we are asked to give it a hame descriptive of its characteristics, says Mr.bbe EK Reaford, the well-known writer on agricultural subjects.Along the fences o OW un U! ih sows places they have become quite trees, and the effect of their Toots upon the land can be readily noticed several feet from the edge of the ing.Nothing grows well there.Shrubs of all kinds make thickets along tbe Gelds, with all manner of uoxiows weeds among them, and here animals which prey upon crops find a hiding place.On farms where the sympe the primeval forest aie still standing bushes have been allowed to: grow until the field has the.appearance of returning to uri- gind conditions.On other firms stomes have been taken from the land and piled up here and there about the Helds, thus wasting a large ares of valuable land in the aggregate.Here, as in the bushes along.Lhe fences, anitisle burrow and hide, and find that the farmer has made it an easy matter for them to commits their depredations, and exist in safety in defiance of all efforts to exterminate them.Whatever methods be employs must prove abortive, generally, while they are allowed to make their homes in the midst of his fields.The res woull seem incredible, at tirst thought, if the acreage of land wasted in tins way could be estimated cortettiy, Not only wasted, but worse than wasted, because of harboring the enemies of our growing crops and our flocks of chickens and turkeys.A coûrse none of us on second thought, would condemn a farm because uf its unsightly appearance, for that second tBought would go to convince us that there must be fertility there to pro- \u2018duce such luxuriant growth of bush and \u2018weeds, but it cannot be denied that the appenrance of a farm given up to them prejudices us against it.Becausé of this condition of things many « really valuable farm has its chances of sxie greatly lessened.- If every farmer fn a community would clean up his farm, the gemerai appearance of the community would not only be wonderfully improved but there would be an immediate sppre- ciation in values which would make it well worth while for all farmers to cngage in à co-operative effort to im- res all the farms in the meigbbor- The beginning of the slovenly conditions which prevail to such an extent is in neglect of the owner of ihe farm to do a little work whes it ought to be done.If a day or two each year were devoted to cutting the bushes that start along fences and about stumps and stone piles, the farm could be kept clean with very little trouble.But if the needed work remaing undone, and bush and weeds gat the start of us, snd it takes but very little time for a thicket to grow up and encroach upon the tillable Jand, crowding cro] back foot by foot each season.Where this invasion of our fields has takem place there is but one thing for us to do, and that is to wage warfare upon the enemy and reclaim lost ground by prompt, hard work.Having reclaimed it, let us keep it under cultivation.A repre- tition of this lose ean be prevented in future by the expenditure of a emall amount of labor annually.farmer who piles up the stones he.removes from his field in the mid- die of themi makes a grest mistake.Put them somewhere at the side where they will not interfere with the cultivation of the land and where they can be easily got at if needed for building purposes.In the community An which the writer lives stone for the foundalions of barns and houses fs in great demand and farmers find seady and profitable male for it.A ose demand should he looked out t \u2018by every farmer and the stone pe situated in some accessible place.know of nothing that makes s field more unsightly than great heaps of stones scattered aver it to say nothing of the loss of the land ocenpled by them.Good farming makes the farm Jook well, and that adds to its money value in more ways than one.\u2014__ FEEDING FOWLE.Charles 8.Greene, in an address nt a Minnesota Farmers\u2019 Institute said: \u201cWhen you have selected tha breed you want and have them properly housed.the next question js how to keep them healthy snd get the most profit with the leasc expenditure for feed and labor, as few of us can find pleasure enough in the busines

the large breeds require quite different treatment from that given the smalier ones.Feed that is right for ros would be fiable to make Plymouth Rocks {oo fat, if fed in the same way.The man- [ver and time uf feeding is of nearly ag much importance as the feed itself.We always adopt a regular system of fogding, and only change with the seasons of the year, or when conditions absolutely require it.We have known à change of feed, and the time of feed: ing it, to make a difference, with our own flock of Leghorns, of over four hundred eggs a day inside of two weeks.Too much stress cannot be lsid on regularity in feeding, and the adherence ton steady system, only changing when there is a reason for 50 doing.All soft feed should be fed on wide boards or in troughs which are kapt clean, and the fowls should never be allowed to huddle together any more than in necessary.Exercise is of prime importance when trying to produce eggs during the winter months.By keeping the floor of the house littered with dry straw, chaff or leaves, and scattering the whols feed inte it, the fowls get all the exercise they n CHINESE FARMS CELESTIALS HAVE NOT THE WIS.DUM TO USE NATURAL RESOURCES.The Chinese have ap adage concerning one who has food but who dues not know enough to eat, and whe, although he possesses a blanket bas not the senee to go to sleep.Ths emblematis language represents .the condition of the Uhimegs thameelves, especial! and tural interests The casuw/ traveller in China is im] with the cle of its millions of people living their simple life in the same manger as did their

the sociologies! conditions of these uncounted millions without arriving at any defiuite perception of what modern science can do for them.Perhape the most pressing external need of these people ie an abundant supply of water.re are rivers and ol but not many small streams, and irrigation is limited to a narrow band the banks of such as thers are, and is only accomplished with great labor.Nome of the wells are more than 20 or at most 30 feet deep, and the task of cultivating à \u2018garden\u2019 is one of the heaviest of rural toils The whole country is uederlaid with inexhaustible supplies of water, which could be readily reached and brought to the surface by artesian or some other form of weil.Wheever has wit- nested the transformation effected in the \u2018desert\u2019 of 1] and on the alka: line plains of by irrigation alone, does not require to be told that innumerable ever-Gow wells and a wide-sown crop of windmills would change the.face of the Chinese gugat plain till every mere

In our day there is a univerml i those thing that are .that those tl ings, which are not shaken may remain.\u2019 But we have every confidence that the kingdom of God cannot be shaken, no that we are not dismayed by any assmults upon it.In spite of the war and tumult of contre- veray, there are hosts of \u2018holy and hum: ! ble men of heart\u2019 who stand unmoved on what Gladstone nobly called \u2018the impregnable Rock of Holy Seripture.\u2019 These men aie of one mind in their reverence for the Word of God and the two great sacraments of baptism and the supper of the Lord.\u2018They aiso t without reserve that ancient symbol of the faith ¥nown as the Nicene Creed.They be lieve with all their hearts in one Al mighty Saviour, who by his croes and res urrection is bringi \u2018many sons unto glo They lool with eager ene is personal return in glorious majesty to take them into the eternal unity of his unveiled presence.The chief barrier in the way of the reunion of such Christians is the question of church government.Now, it is well known that the Lambeth Quadrilateral includes the historic cpiscopate as one ef the four essential conditions of Christian unity.But it should not be forgotten that the Lambeth proj 1 is most careful not to insist upon the acceptance of any theory of apostolic succession.It lays stress upon the fact alone of the episcopate as historically established.There are many who, like the present writer, are willing loyally to, mabe ihe to episco an set fo in Lightfoot'e famous Rad invincible esmy on the Christian ministry, but who cannot net any theory af apnntalie saccession which would unchurch non-Episcopal Christian communions, That Pace, pacy has its roots in the Word of God 1s beyond denial.After the moet thorough and impartial inquiry, Lightfoot concludes: \u2018If the preceding investigation be substantially correct, the three fold ministry can be traced to apostolic direction; and short of an express statement we can no better assurance of a divine appointment or at least of a divine sanction.If the facts do not allow us to unchurch other Christian communities differently organized, they may at least justify our jealous adhesion to a polity derived from this source.\u2019 These are weighty words from one of the fairent-minded acholars that ever lived, and they are never likely to be discredited.Surely, they afford a com- yon meeting-place for a vant of Churchmen snd Nonconformists.If we are esg°r after the simple truth, and not after the victory of some theological syn tem.we shall soon be able to agree upon scme modified form of the historic episcopate.pets, wholly unreasonable to expect God-fearing men, with the Bible for their sole rale of faith and practice, to accept as a condition of unity an episcopacy which would unchurch themselves and their ioun ancestry.Tt is a righteous thing before God to admit the validity of their ministry and of their eacro- ments.And we do _rdmit the validity of their baptism.How inconsistent, then, is it to deny the validity of their holy Communion! In the words again of Lightfoot himself, \u2018It may be a general rule, it may be under ordinary circumstances & prac: tically universal law, that the highest acts of congregational worship shall be performed through the principal officers of the congregation.Hut sn emer- mny arise when the spirit and not t ter must decide.The Christian ideal will then imterpoee and interpret our duty.The higher

union.cxecutive or organic, between the Methodist, Presbyterian a Congregational churches in Canada\u201d To begin with.I reply, a l\u2019Ecossaise, What is the raison d'etre of the cuggestion?I presume that the claims of the great North-West, so rapidly filling up, for provision of the means of public n ip, and the necessities of our large cities for pastoral supervision, are at the bottom of the proposals for united sction a the churches in question.As a mations Scottish churchman 1 i other method as likely ja the creditable solution ef these problems.1.The claims of the North-West must be recognized to the full, and faced earnestly and _strenuet by all the \u20ac .Obviously, this can only be done well by & proper organization of forces.The work is great and the forces praileble to execute an must be judicions y husbanded.vything like unorganised effort on church lines, whereby agen.® species of church must be hi ob jsctionable from every point of view.verlapping will mean weskness for the churches, and teoting will mean ruin to the religicus consciousness of many of the people.There must, therefore, be thoroughly well organized territorial work, which shall be rigidly detailed and n to life.\u201d cies may overlap and tooting be Sntroduced, sacredly and honorably maintained.The religious of the people must be the first and a territorial arrangement is the first essential in any plan of combined action.\u2018 2 ry argument in favor of o: - ized action in the North-West applies with like aptitude to the large cite as well.Lapsing from church connection through indifference arising from the conditions of city life is due in great measure to the lack of territorial supervision, With the available church forces in Montreal, for exemple, it should be impossible, if these forces were ly organized, for a single professing ris tian to enter the city without at once coming under pastoral supervision.How much such parochial oversight should mean in the case of the deserving oor, the unfortunate, and notably the roung, every one can understand.Bat as things are at present little can be done to meet the situation, and that little badiy.I have long felc that right here lies a re- nsibility from which none of our churches can claim exemption.Organization on the territorial system 1» the only prpetionl solution of the problem.3.For these two great pui executive union is a crying necesaity, and the lack of it is sure to become a wing scandal to religion.We have a heen too lone standing on our ecclesiastical mole-hills, either complacently congratulating ourselves how vi we are and how auperior, or testifying in more or lers strident tones that we have n » TS t cial deposit of the truth which is den to others.And, all the while, a responsibility is lying at our doors al- moat unheeded, and the spiritual tone of the whole community 1s suffering.4.Urganic union is a problem mueh more difficult to solve.For executive anion the urgency of the work has already molved the problem, and with co operation in work the other side of the problem will solve itself.Any way, it can wait.Ureeda and canons, traditions and theories, rites and ritual, will in the fature, ne in the past, afford ample material for discussion among minds of à certain cast, who believe that the king- of Gad comes only hy oheervation.But in the crucible of

too long for the infallibility of the man that solves all the problems of the Dominion in s journey to the Pacific const and back, oecupy- ing & month, too short for the certainty that comes from the residence of a lifetime.But in tl upon this great matter, my thoughts fall into the following grooves: (1} Would the work of evenagelixing Canade be better done?No doubt under the present conditions there is much needless muiti- plication of agencies.But moet of \u2018this, if not all, could be got rid of a wise co-operation, which in the present oendition is more feasible than organie union.And the residuum of loss will b met by the healthful emulation that might be changed into lethargy in the weighty body of a single o.tion.(2) It may Te contended that formel union would more easily impress the world as to the unity of Christians.No doubt even the sentimental reason bas a place.But I am not convinced that the true oneness would not be as visible and as well emphasized by a wise co-operation as by mere absorption.It may, even more, be better asserted in 8 co-operation thst was manifested for 365 days each year than in à single uct that made a sensation in ti world and might be followed by the tty questions that sometimes loom rge in ecclesinstiesl politics.Whatever may be the case with the eyes of the world, 1 am sure the Head of the Church will distinguish between alliances that are more formal and less real and {hone which are mere informal but none the less real.(3) I want to be convinced that the separate organizations do not present the var ieties of guman thought and experience the varfély that meets the needs snd idiosyncrasies of men.The fact that churches have something that is historic suggests that they were intended to play some distinct part on the stage of religious life.I am not sure that rsonally T should feel greatly helped br an ecciesiaatical amalgam.(') Have the churches chiefly ia view such a true conception of what is involved in the title \u2018Church\u2019 as to venture upon the great experiment?Are we prepared to give that breadth of view and of ractice fn things indifferent that s Fhurch of Christ, since it may claim the right io unchurch a man and so cut him off from outward communion with Christ, ought to grant?1 feel that in Methodism we have heen ve slow to get free from the older - tion of & private religious \u2018society\u2019 with liberty to make its own ruied to the idea of a church that must found upon the limitations of the Gospel only.The Angliean Church may be one in outward organization partly because it gives a liberty in thought and practice that other churches re- ord n excessive, But Uf these will be one they must prepa: to grant « liberty, which if not as wide must be after the same pattern.In the new orgunization will the Methodist surrender his Arminianism or the Presbyterian his Calvinism?Or must t preacher have liberty to preach either, and must the be y to sd to either?t are the views allowable in the matter of the Holy Com- muniont Are we to accept as equally welcome in any pulpit of the United Church the infra-Zwinglisnism generally associated with C tional.dactred from Calvo.tha phase of A À 500,000 Yas union can be gained tion without running risks Le .more formal union ' \u2014 METHODIST FUND OVER $40,000,000 RAISED IN THR UNITED STATES.in Trinity Church, this eveni Dr.E.M.Mél ere of ne tieth Century k Offerings Commission, made the formal annou that the Methodists of the country reised more than $20,000,000 in responses to the movement inaugurated in Trinity Church by the board of bish four Dr.Mills announced that 98,- been raised on church ;

what is to be done with them.A reference to the terms and conditions under which they were enlisted shows that they have no claim to be returned at government expense, unless they were discharged as physically unfit or unless they have served full five years.The attention of the Militis Depart- mont has been drawn bd a letter ins ontreal paper from Trooper Mogan, of E division, South African Constaju- lary, stating that when the Canadians of this eorps went to South Africa they expected to serve under their own officers.After the was proclaim.od they were placed in some instances under British officers, and this led to frietion and trouble, which has culminated in a mumber of Canadians being discharged and fined.Trooper Mogan spires to Canada for justice, but the Militia Department

domestic misfortunes apparently caused him to try to forget the very know: ledge be even as he insisted on forgetting the pame under which be was them known.He was s linguist of ability and learned in

up.Then it was in an incoherent way, and the old ragpicker's emotion was so great that he was not pressed for information.He shed tears and gesticulated in the wildest manner, indicative of keen grief
