The final rush was made with a triumphant yell, and as the British troops charged to close quarters, the enemy turned and fled, leaving ali their impediments and guns behind them in their precipitate flight.While this was going on, one battery of artillery, the Eigheteenth Hussars, and the mounted infantry, with a part of the Leicester Regiment, got on the enemy's flank, and, as the Boers streamed wildly down the hills, making for the main road, they found their retreat had been cut off, but they rallied for a while, and there was severe fighting, with considerable loss on both sides.Many of the enemy surrea- dered.\u2018 A LOSS ESTIMATE \u2018A rough estimate places the British loss at 250 killed or wounded, and that of the Doers at 800.\u2018 A newspaper correspondent states that through his glasses during the fight he noticed how much the Boers seemed to be nonplussed by the tactics of the Imperial troops, especially of the well-drilled, swift-moving horsemen.The enemy are still, as of old, a mob.They are without horses and forage, and many of them rely for food upon what they can obtain by looting.Their animals are mostly in a wretched condition.! It is understood that before to-day\u2019s battle several Boers had left their commandoes, and gone home to their farms, and many others are now likely to follow.THE RETIRING PROCESS.The movement of the commandoes in the Utrecht district are somewhat mysterious.It is supposed that they have some idea of getting around between this place and Ladysmith.Many Boers are reported to be falling back on their old position.They have been raising a series of fortifications between Sandspruit and Dannhauser, their object being to contest the grand advance of the Imperial troops.Near Sandspruit Camp they have a laager with several pieces of artillery, and another behind Volksrust.There are guns at Mount Pogwani, overlooking Laing\u2019s Nek, and Ingogo Heights are fortified and earthworks have been throwa up and guns left at various places on the way south.London, Oct.20.-The absence of detalls regarding the British losses in the engagement at Glencoe Camp causes the deepest anxiety, and the War Office is again besieged by relatives And friends of those making up the force that took part in the fight.Durban, Oct.20.\u2014It is officially announced that the Boers retired from Pattingspr ult this morning.etn 6 BOHR PLAN OF CAMPAIGN.Expect to Oircumvent Aliwal North and to Seeze the Railway Near Aliwal North in Two Places.Aliwal North, Cape Colony, Oct.19.\u2014 (Delayed.)\u2014Thé Boer force from Smithfield has moved to Bethulie, where 2,000 Boers fre now coucentrated, Their plan of cam- Palgn appears to be for the Rouxville contingent, crossing the Orange River Ford, as they fear the north bridge is mined, to circumvent Aliwal Norfh and to seize the railway.Simultaneously the Bethulie contingent, it appears, is to cross the border, seize the railway \"and proceed to Albert Junction, there to meet the Rouxvifle forces.If this plan succeeds, the Boers expect the Dutch In Cape Colony to join them.The Rouxville force has artillery, including a Krupp gun.et MUST SLEHP IN THH

OCTOBER 21.1899.PRICE ONF CENT pp Canadian Troops Should Give an Account of Themselves of Which the Dominion Vill be Proud\u2014Government's Plan in Making Appointments.Ottawa, October 21.\u2014(Special.»\u2014 Another concession has been made to Canada as a return for her loyal and generous reso ise to the call of the Empire's need.The Her ald correspondent learned officially to-night that the Imperial Government had granted perwission for extra nurses and doctors tc be sent from Canada for the Colonial troops.This announcement will be we:- comed in view of the feeling which prompted the concession, although in view of the great demands which are being made tpon the space available In the Sardinian it is doubtful if accommodation can be found for many outs:de of the regular force.In the arrangements for the enrollment which have been mmae, provislon has not heen made for a band, as no instructions bad been Issued in that regard, the instructijus from the War Office calling simply fur 1,000 infantrymen.as can readily be seen, it would be difficult to gather a band together under the arrangement hy which the companies are drawn from the several provinces.However, doubtless good material will be found, and at least Euod buglers will sall with the Canadian contingent.In view of the cearcumstances of the case the {dea of organizing a band has n9t been considered by those who have bad the arrangements in hand.Little delay need be anticipated becanse of the distance which the Western men have to come.The Coast Company wily be at Quebec in time for the sailing of the Sardinian before the end of the month.With the officers that have been appointed at their head, the thousand Canadians who will sail from Quebec for South Africa about the end of the month, sk ull he able to give a good account of thier.seivex, render signal service to G -: 3ritain and do credit to the Dominion.nn the selve- fion of the officers from the Province of Quebec the Government has had fn view the decision to have one { rho canpanies made up of French-Canad >=, commanded by French-Canadian officers, partly from Quebec and partly from Montreal, The other Quebee company will represent the English population of the l\u2019rovinre, and to this end the officers have been selected sn as to include competent men from several centres.Thus, whilst Capiain Mae- Donnell, R.C.R.1., who wiii command the company, and Lieut.Lawiie, Prince of Wales\u2019 Fusiliers, are from Montreal, the chief centre, they will have associated wiih them Captain Fraser, of the 53vd Battalien, as representing the volunteers from the the i Eastern Pownships, and Lieut.Swift, of the Sth Battalion, as representing the City of Quebec.CUMMAND OF TORONTO MEN, As will be seen, there ix still a vacancy for the conunanc of cie oronio company This position is being offered to Lieut.Col.Sian Hugaes, Who Lie expressid his desire to accompany the force, and whose friends stiute that he would not be unwiiling to go with the rank of à Captain.here is stil a possiblity, however, that a couple cf majors will go with the force, and in this case Lt.-Col.Hughes ought to be a candidate for the higher office.Whilst tals is the case, it may be end of next weck before the question of majors is definitely decided, so in the meantime arrangements have been made for filling up the complement of the company.It may therefore be taken ax reasonably certain that Lt.-Col.Hughes will go to South Africa.In the arrangements which are being made for the Canadian contingent, the orl ginal pian of having the eight companies vrganized as district units as directed by he War Office, is being adhered to.Lt.- Col.Otter, who is in command, will, how: ever, be competent to take the field command of the regiment should the Imperiae (General see fit to have the contingent serve as a district regiment, which is not unlikely.BID THE GUARDS GOOD-BYE Duke of Connaught Inspects Scots at Chelsea Barracks, 1 On Behalf cf Her Majesty He Wished the Men a Short Campalgu and a Safe Return.London, Oct.20.\u2014His Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, accompanied by (he Duchess and his daughters, inspected the Scots Guards this morning at Chelsea Barracks, after which he addressed the men on behalf of Her Majesty, congratulating them upon their splendid appearance and wishing them a short campalzn and a safe return to England.Col.Arthur Paget replied and called for cheers for Her Majesty and for the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught.These were given with great gusto, the men elevating their helmets on the points of their hayonets.FELL BACK FIGHTING.Delayed Despatch Describes Retreat of Carbineers and Border Mounted Rifies in Pace of 2000 Boers.Ladysmith, Oct.19.\u2014(Delayed In transmission.) \u2014 The Carbineers and Border Mounted Rifles, who had been in action with the enemy nearly all day, returned this evening, falling back fighting, in the face of 2,000 Boers.They were several times almost cut off, but a Maxim gun held the Boers in check.It is reported that sixteen Boers were killed.Several times the Boers came within 400 yards\u2019 range, but their shooting was bad, and the Maxim=® render- .ed signal service in stopping their rushes.They have a large waggon-train and artillery.Ü rousse : a WAR OFFICE SUPPLIES.Canadians are Invited to

must include packing in extra strong cases.Terders for canned meats for delivery at Woolwich will be dealt with there.HAST SdlP IS OFF, Transport Yorkshire Leads Transports From Southampton.WITH THE SPECIAL CORPS Others Follow at Intervals While Im mense Throngs Cheer Themselves Hoarse at the Docks.Southampton, Oct.20.\u2014The transport Yorkshire, carrying the first troops of the special army corps, cast off this afternoon at twenty minutes past two, the other transports following at intervals.The public were excluded from the docks during the embarkation, but immense throngs gathered owiside, cheering and singing and bidding farewell 10 their friends as the trains passed in, London, Oct.20.\u2014The mobillaation is prac tically completed, and it is suid that more than 90 per cent.of the reservists have joined \u2018their colors.This is considered eminently satisfactory.\"The speed at which the army corps has been gotten together has excited the admiration of the German headquarters staff, and they have sent a semi-official Inessage of congratulation through the British military attache in Berlin to the service.The London press regards this as a well deserved compliment, tne papers pointing cut that not only have the reservists re sponded splendidly, bt # * \u2014 maloriiy of thuse who Ruve reporied arp siediculiy fit for service.In several casex the outgoing regiments contain a preponderance of reserves, most of them in the prime of manhood, and men who have fought ip India and in Egypt._ Tt is the aim of the War Office to send no man co South Africa unless he has had at least a year\u2019s service, The only serlous criticism apparently t be made regarding these thousands destined for the front 1a that the reserves for the most part are ignorant of the mechanism of the magazine rifle.Efforts have been made to overcome this and to give the men practice with the Lee-Metford, but the time has been too shor to do much, What effect tnls lack of familiarity with their own weapons will have upon the accuracy of the fire of the British can only be judged when the dead and wounded are gathered from the flelds | of battle.+ -+-+ +++.+

instructed to reach Hopetown, to the southwest of Kimberley, avoiding that place as much as possible owing to the Boer investment.\u201cThe Boers began the Investment of Mafeking in real earnest at 6 o'clock this morning.For some days they have been skirting the town in small bodies, but they have begun to mass in force on the Transvaal side.ARMORED TRAIN ORDERED OUT.\u201cColonel Baden-Powell orderel the armored train and a part of the Bechuana land protectorateregiment to go out against them and see if they could break up the strongest force.They went out a distance of four miles and directly they came in range opened fire with their Maxims, scattering the Boers.The enemy at once rode off in hot haste further into the veldt and away irom the railway, but the troops pursued and overtook them.\u201cThe enemy were In a sheltered position, while our men were ia the open, and therefore much exposed.Volley firing was started at 900 yards and ssou became hot on both sides.A number of our men were wounded, while many ridorless Bocr horses rushed across the plain.\u2018 LARGE REINFORCEMENTS HURRIED FORWARD.\u201cOur fire soon scattered the enemy, but at that moment thelr general, whom we belleved to be Cronje ,pushed up large reinforcements, and a hot engagement cceur red.Our men behaved superbly.Reinforcements were hurried up by Col.Baden: Powell from Mafeking, consisting of the rest of the Protectorate regiment, the Diamond Fields Horse, under Colonef Hore, with two guns, and Lord C.Bentinck, with another couple of guns.The artillery soon got the range and the Boers were splendidly shelled.They were astounded by the accuracy of our fire, \u201cA second armored truln was despatched from Mafeking, together with the Chartered Police, and a fierce gencral fight followed.Ultimately the Boers, demoralized by the splendid work of our men, began gradually to withdraw, and by 11 o\u2019clock they were completely driven off.They nndoubiedly suffered heavy loss.The British returned to \u201cMafeking exalted over their victory.ADMINISTERED A CRUSHING BLOW.Cape Town, October 20.\u2014Evening\u2014Despatches dated Mafeking Saturday night, October 14, and carried by despatch riders, via Kuruman and Danielskull to Hope- town, state that Colonel Baden-Powell, inflicted a tremendous blow on the Boers, ning milesnorth of Mafeking.Two trucks laden with dynamite, which, it was judged unsafe to keep in Mafeking.on account cf the risk of explosion should the town be shelled, were sent by Col.Baden-Powell nine miles out in the hope that the Boers would shell and explode them.And so if happened.When the engine had uncoupled from the trucks and retreated about a mi'e, the enemy shelled the trucks, with the result that a terrible explosion occurred, killing, it is estimated, 100 Boers.THE SARDINIAN HAS BEEN APPROVED Quastermaster-General Foster Inspects the Vessel and Pronounces Her Satisfactory\u2014She is to be Fitted Up Forthwith.Col.Foster, the quartermaster-general of the Canadian forces, whose headquarters are at Ottawa, was in Montreal yesterday, and spent a large part of the day in consultation with Mr.Hugh Allan, of the Allan steamship line, with regard to the equipment of the Sardinian as a transport steamer for the conveyance of the Canadian contingent of 1,000 men to South Africa.Col.Foster, in company with Mr.Allan, made a very thorough inspection of the Sardinian, which is now in port, and pronounced her in every way satisfactory for the purpose in view.The final arrangements for chartering the vessel were completed, and no time will be lost by the Messrs.Allan in fitting her up for the purpose in view.Certain internal structural alterations will be necessary; but, generally speaking, the steamer is already in a fit condition to receive the contingent.The first-clas saloon, with its adjoining staterooms, will require only a very few touches to convert them into the officers\u2019 mess and bedrooms.The second-class saloon and staterooms will do similar duty as the sergeants\u2019 mess and sleeping rooms for non-commissioned officers.Further on still on the main deck, where cargo is usually stored, will be fitted up as sleping quarters for fhe men, and care will be taken to make as ample provision as possible for each an.xs, à | { = pe As Rar, Cat = \u2014 eT \u2014\u2014\u2014 990 The rations served to the men will be nominally the regulation souldiers\u2019 rations at sea, but as a matter of fact they will excel in quantity and quality.\u201cIn fact,\u201d said Mr, Hugh Allan to a Herald representative last evening, \u2018we will do everything In our power to make the voyage as pleasant as possible.We shall take care that ample provisions are on board for a voyage twice the duration of that from Quebec to Cape Town.The cold storage accommodation is so large that there will be not the slightest difficulty in storing sufficient fresh vegetables to last the entire trip.The men will have their canteen, in which tobacco and other comforts can be obttined at reasonable rates.Every facility will be given for deck amusements, and an excellent awning will be provided, which will cover the whole of the decks during the voyags through the tropics.\u201cThe trip from Quebec to Cape Town,\" continued Mr.Allan, \"is, of course, longer than that from Southampton, the distance being 7,013 nautical miles, against 5,978.The Sardinian ought to accomplish the voyage in from 25 to 30 days.She unght to Steam from 10 to 12 knots an hour.I have no doubt myself she wl do a little better than 12 knots when she gets fine weather; but if she encounters very heavy weather she will probably go down to as low as 10 knots.\u201d PROPER DEMONSTRATION Public Meeting Called In Quebec to Plan a Fitting

the Second Dublin Jusiliers, the Devonshire Regiment, the Dorsetshire Regiment, several companies of mounted infantry, and three field batteries, a total of about four thousand men, opposed to a Boer force estimated at twice that numoer, and possibly reaching a higher figure.This very disparity between the combatants give an additional element of fascination to the history of the day.BOER AND ANTI-BOER.The forthcoming Parliamentary bye-election in Tower Hamlets, London, is being fought strictly on Boer and anti-Boer lines.The Liberal candidate is Mr.Harold Spender, and the Conservative candidate Mr.Wiiliam Guthrie.Both join in a wish that victory may attend the British arms, but this does not deter the electors from creating a little war of their own.INNOCULATION OF TROOPS.One of the most curious features of mobilization has becn the innoculating of the troops against enteric fever.This was uot made compulsory, but the company commanders were instructed to urge the men to allow themselves to be innoculated, and most of them have undergone the ordeal.Although medical men differ greatly as to the utility of the virus, the percentage ot enteric fever in the British ranks will be eagerly watched by fore:gn military experts.Should it turn out to be remarkably small, it is more than likely that all the Kuropean troops will be inoculated before going to countries infested by the enteric germs.AT HIS OWN EXPENSE.The War Otlice continues to receive offers for voluuteer service irom all parts of the country.Colonel Sir ldwaurd Couries Vin- Ceal Las oncinily repeated his proposal to raise a thousauu mualkKsaien [or service in South Africa at bis own expense.Col.Vim- veut is the commandant of tue Queen s West- m.uster volunteers, one of the crack regiment, aad ever since hia olfer was first published, he has beeu inundated with re- guests from those anxious to serve.Many of the applicants are ot good social position, il caudiug several clergymen.They hail irom points as \u2018ar apart us Bombay, Halifax and San Francisco.A (Canadian ouered Col.Vincent to bear the entire expense of one hundred men throughout the campaign.WOUNDING OF SYMONS.The news of the wounding of General Sy- wons in yesterday's cugagewent, was read with niuch regret in Loudon.Probably no other vilucer in the British army has scen more fighting than General Sir William Peun Symons, the Commander of tue Hourth Division, under General Sir George Stewart White.It is certain none has seen more in India, and the campaigns in Burmah and Zululand revealed his spiendid qualities in the most brilliant fashion.ENTIRELY IN HIS HANDS.One of the problems left entirely to Sir Redvers Buller, in supreme command, is the punishment of non-combatauts who take pert in hostilities.The task oi distinguishing their status is very difficult, as comparatively tew Boers wear a uniform.It is said that the treatment he will administer to the German and lrish volunteers under the Transvaai flag, will be mure merciiïul than were Von Moltke's dealings with the Franc-Tireurs.ANTI-BRITISH FEELING.The bitter anti-British feeling that exists in France is voiced, in its extreme manifestation, by the icho de Paris, which says: \u201cWe shall join in the whispered prayer that out there beyond lhe seas, and beyond im- round-shouldered general, whose ancestors were Frenchmen, will give us our revenge, our heroic revenge for Fashoda.\u201d \u2014 2502 Semen CAPTAINS OF CANADIAN COMPANIES.Ottawa.Oct.21.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Militia orders issued yesterday afternoon announce that the eight

the Merchants Bank With a Deposit Disappears.With the closing of the banks yesterday afternoon the discovery was made in the head office of The Wilscn Company, coal and wood dealers, 186 William Street, that $1,007.54 which had been sent to the Merchants Bank in care of the office hoy, Edwin Dennis, had not been deposited.Dennis left the office at a quarter to two o'clock and has not been seen since.The whole force of city detectives, aided by Mr.Joseph Patrick.secretary-treasurer of the company, are looking for him.Dennis, who is about 19 years of age, has heen in Montreal since August last only.He came from London, England.On his arrival in Montreal he formed the acquaintance of Mr.Launson, of 214 Green Avenue, Westmount, with whom he resided for some time.On Tuesday last an \u2018\u2019ad\u2019\u2019 appeared in an evening paper for an office boy at The Wilson Company.Mr.Lauson.several times to get him a position, applied for the boy.Deunis got the job and started work on Wednesday morning.In the afternoon he was sent to the West End branch of the Merchants Bank of Halifax, Seigneurs and Notre Dane streets, with a deposit of $1.226.31.The money was duly deposited.On Thanksgiving day, though the office was open, Dennis did not tura who had befriended Dennis and had trisd up.Yesterday morning he returned anl started his second day\u2019s work.At 1.45 vesterday afternoon he wos toll to go to the bank with a ddeposit.Unlike the deposit of Wednesday which had been composed chiefly of cheques, yesterday\u2019s was made up mainly of bills and currency, there being less than $109 in cheques.The bundles of $1, $2, $4, and $10 and 420 bills were wrapped up in a newspaper.About half past two o'clock Mr.Patrick called for the boy, but he had not yet returned.At 2.43 p.m.the office became uneasy.Mr.Patrick telephoned to the bank and was told that no deposit had been made during the afternoon to the credit of the Wilson Company.Immediately Mr.Patrick drove out to Dennis\u2019 lodging house, 2792 St.Catherine Street, but no one in the house had seen him since the morning.The secretary drove to the C.P.R.and G.T.R.Stations to watch the outgoing 4 p.m.and 4.15 p.m, trains, but there was no sign of the missing boy.The detective office was then notified and Detective Charpentier, La- monche, Mel.anghlin, Vaughan and Guerin were detailed to cover the arrival and departure of trains and boats.TUp to the present, however, no trace of him had been found.[0 KEEP THEM BUSY Canadian Contingent Will be Drilled on Board Ship, SHORT

thence following the high or right bank of tba said Klelhni river to junction thereof with the Chilkat river, a mile and a half, more or less, north of Klukwan; provided that persons proceeding to and from =\u2014Porcupine Creek shall be freely permitted to follow the trail between the said creek and the said junction of the rivers, into and across the territory in the Canadian side of the temporary line whenever the trail crosses to such side, and, subject to such reasonable regulations for the protection of the revenue as the Canadian Government may prescribe, to carry with them over such part or parts of the trail between the said points as may lle on the Canadian side of the temporary line, such goods and articles as \u2018they desire, without being required to pay any customs duties on such goods and articles, and from said juncticn to the summit of the peak east of the Chilkat river, marked on the aforesaïd map No.10 of the United States commission, the To.5,410 and on the map No.17 of the aforesaid British commission, with the No.5490, the Dyea and Skagway trails, the summits of the Chilkoot and White passes.\u201cIt is understood, as formerly set forth in communications of the Department nf State of the United States, that the cifi- zeus who are subjects of either power, found by this arrangement within the temporary jurisdiction of the other, shall suffer no diminution of the rights and privileges which they now enjoy.\u201cThe Government of the United States will at once appoint an officer or officers in conjunction with the officer or officers to be named by the Government of Her Britannic Majesty to mark the temporary line agreed upon by the erection of posts, stakes, or other appropriate temporary marks.\u201d U.S.ADVANTAGES.Some of the more important advantages that accrue to the American side through ; to-day\u2019s settlement would escape observation save through a study of the map which is attached to the notes.Thus it appears that instead of placing the line | directiy at the town of Klukwan, which marks the head of canoe navigation, as the British sought to do, it has been located several miles above that town, directly at the junction with the Chilkat river of the important tributry Klehini.This maintains the Indians at Klukwan under American jurisdiction without question, and also provides a natural and unmistakable boundary Tine such as is always sought by topographers in the shape of a considerable river.Then, when it comes to the point of departure from this river, the Kle- hini, the line has been prolonged so as to include in American territory the mining town of Porcupine, the head of mining operations in the Porcupine section.Nothing has yet been decided as to a resumption of the sessions of the Joint Canadian Commiesion, but with the boundary question removed from the fleld for a time, a meeting is likely to fellow before Congress meets.DOES NOT GAIN TERRITORY.Sir Louis Davies, Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries, says that Canada does not gain any territory by the provisional arrangement.He visited Tnited States Ambassador Choate and the British Secretary of State for the Colonies, Mr.Chamberlain, to-day for final interviews; nothing, however, resulted except an exchange of views, as al lnow clearly understand the positions taken by each.\u201cI regret,\u201d said Sir Louis, \u2018\u2018that my visit to England has resulted in nothing more than a temporary arrangement, but the exports who accompanied me have thoroughly explained Canada\u2019s contention to the Colonial Office; and if Messrs.Choate and Chemberlain, or Messrs.Tower and Hay between them can fix up a permanent solution of the dispute, they will find Canad: very willing to consider it.I must confess that the prospect #8 not bright.\u201cWhile in Bngland I have met with every courtesy, and my health, which was by no means good.when I arrived, Is now much improved.The modus vivendi seems to me fair to both sides, and so far as ft will prevent local friction, satisfactory.Some such arrangement had to be made, for the condition of the residents In the dis put territory was intolerable.Nevertheless, although the prospects of a perman- t settlement being arrived at are no ff ter, I befleve tpat tbe American and ritish diplomats wiH contfnue their efforts to attain it.\u201d Sir Louis Davies will sail for the United Stated By the Campania to:momow.A GENIUS FOR THH INOPPORTUNE.The following Fem the New Orleans Times-Dearocra tes tie cnaractet- tothe of persone ome continually meet- ng \u201cThere goes a men,\u201d said a Canal Street hilosuphar, \u2018\u2018tvho tag made a failure of e im sp of exce equipment fdr success.e Is honest, affable, bighly u- cated and industrious ag a beaver.He has no bad habits.and couldn\u2019t name a man In New Onleans who possesses a kind lier disposition, yet he {s continually out of a job and is studiously avelded hy everybody who knows him.The mysterious part of ft is that nobody cap te!l you just why.and the poor fellow ddesn\u2019t understand jt himself.He is beginning to think that somebody has worked a rabbit's.foot on | him, But the secret is really this: He-has With that act the ee a genlus for vhe inupportune.By seme maugu freak of fate le always says and does the wrong th.ng at the wrong (he.1t 18 not ja of tact;

plaintiffs had no quality to make a joint demand upon the defendant.The court dismissed the exception to the form, the grounds being as follows: Plaintiffs\u2019 action was based on a contract made between defendant as party thereto of the one part, and .he plaintiffs who bave not desisted from the jresent action, or their auteurs, and the firm of Stenson & Co, jointly as parties thereto of the other part, whereby plaintiffs alieged that defendant became bound to pay to said parties jointly, to wit, each for an equal share, a certain sum of money therein mentioned.The plaintiffs who have not desisted, have a right to enforce by a joint action, as they now sck to do, their rights arising out of said contract made jointly by them and their auteurs with defendant.The plaintiffs, so bringing a joint acticn to enforce their joint rights against defendant, caused the latter no prejudice, and would not prevent his invoking any grounds of defence he might bave against the claim so made on

intermediate C.L.A.championship played on the Fergus grounds yesterday, Acton won their final and decisive victory by six goals to three.This brings the champlon- ship home to the royal district, and speaks well for the Acton team, considering that this is the first season they have had a team for over ten years and that seven of the men never played in a match previons to this year.When the scason opened the management decided to put the team into the intermediate series with the result that they were placed in the district with Galt and Fergus, and when the schedule was played out these three teams tied for the district championship.A bye was arranged and Acton won out.They then played theil semi-finals with St.Mary\u2019s, defeating that team at Acton and St.Mary's.This left \u2018Wiarton, Beaverton and Acton in the finais.'A bye was again taken, Wiarton drawing {t, Acton was ordered to play Benvec- ton In Stouffville, defeating them four :0 two.The final game was then ordered with Wiarton in Fergus, when Acton came off with the intermediate honors.Thursday's finals game was a splendid exhibitien of lacrosse, the Garnets of Wiarton putting up a fight for the championship worthy ot any team.Dr.Button, of Stouffville, refereed the game, both teams declaring him a model referee.The names of the intermediate champions are: Ed.Ryder.Fred.Ryder, Frank McIntosh,

much to themselves, and although the home team tried desperately to score, the score stood 2 to 0 in favor of Point St.Charles at the call of half time.With the second half the home team rallied and rushed matters, doing some splendid work and scoring 8 goals to 0.A Teature of the game was the fine combination work of the visitors.The home team, while lacking in combination, made up in speed and staying power.For the visitors, Duffy was easily the star, while Emrie.in goal; Durkan and Sedgate did splendid work.For the home team, Dunning proved a wonder, while McIntosh and Matte, with Saucier, in goal, played a great game.Referee Dubbere, though very lax, was most impartial, and gave general satisfaction.The game was certainly the best ever played here, and was closely watched by a large number of spectators.The home team take great \u2018pride in thelr victory, and are now looking for new worlds to conquer,

With a Gold Watch Each With Name Engraved.The Shamrock hockey team got an orva- tion last evening at the smoker in their honor, which showed the way their fellow- members of the S.A.A.A, appreciated their work on the ice last winter.But they received something more tangible than the ovation, and that was a handsome gold watch each with their name engraved on it.Mr.Henry McLaughlin, chairman of the Testimonial Committee, occupied the chair, and seated with him on the stage were: C.A.McDonnell, president of the 3.A.A.A.; Ed.Quinu, president of the Shamrock Lacrosse (lub: Captain Tom

gave an excellent review of the work of the team, pointing out the difficulties that they had to overcome, and \u2018on that account their linal_ success was all the more to their credit, To Captain Harry 'Frihey special credit was due.He had spared ueither time nor energy in the effort to improve the team.A very well arranged programme of songs, quartettes and instrumental sclec- tions was given at intervals between the presentation of watches to the champions, in which Prof.PP.J.Shea, organist and director of ®t.Ann's choir, took a promi- neut part.Those contributing to the programme were Ed.Quinn, John Yeufold, William Murphy, A.Giroux, N.W.Power, George Meagher, Fred.O'Connor, T.Slat- tery, A.Latouche and W.J, E.Wall.Mr.Willlom Snow, the veteran lacrosse executive officer, and last

presentations the president of the S.A.A.A.made a few remarks and proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman for the successful manner in which he had carried out the idea of the testimonial.The proceedings were brought to a close by cheers for the champion hockey team, the senior lacrosse team, Prof.P.J.Shea and the \u201cTalent,\u201d\u201d and for the chairman, r\u2014\u2014\u2014te PROPER

THANKSGIVING HUNT.A Run With the Canadian Hunt Club aad Dinner at Bout de l'sle.The place of meeting for the members of the Canadian ITunt Club on Thursday of this week was Repentigny.Sharp at the hour of S$.30 a.m.some thirty members on horseback assembled at the C.P.R.stock yards, where two large palace horse cars were in waiting for the horses and hounds.At nine o'clock precisely the party pulled out over the Delt Line Railway for Dont de l'Ile.where the ferry was taken for epentigny.The country in this section Is indeed the hungsman\u2019s paradise, as the farms are mostly in grass, and the fences are al! the old-fashioned post and rat.Game, too, Is exceedingly plentiful, as the day\u2019s hunting abundantly proved.Shortly after leaving the village the hounds were thrown into the covert, and in less than twenty minutes, by a whimper from Shamrock.it was evident Sir Reynard was at home.He was not long in breaking covert, and after making a short circuit in a wood of lesser dimensions.being pressed hard, he made for the open in gn easterly direction, which course he continued for a distance of about five miles, the hounds running in full vie wof the field most of the time.Having been foiled in his effort to run to earth, which latter had been stopped the previous night, he turned to the left, and made for a belt of woods running east.By this time the hounds had become somewhat scattered, and after hurriedly collecting them and getting tofether the tail members of the pack.a second attempt was made to get on the scent.At this point, however.fresh and serions difficulties arose in the form of several foxes coming into evidence, Under the cireum- stances it was finpossible to hold the pack together.as in the space of a few minutes three and somctimes even four, foxes were lit is the third man\u2019s -duty to pick it up \u2014\u2014m\u2014 in HERALD, MONTREAL, SALURDAY, OCLlOBER 21, 1899.pre PE reen to break from the same covert.At one time the neighborhood seemed actually alive with thew, so much that all efforts to hold the hounds on one fox were futile.For upwagds of five hours the pack was continuously in pursule of thelr game, until darkness compeiled the huntsmiun to re luctantly withdraw his hounds and once more to turn his head for Rrpentigny, to recross the ferry to Bout de l'Ile.On reaching this place an elegant diner at the hotel was served to members and thelr friguds present.During the afternoon there were three or four runs, varyinz from three to six mijles in length, one of which ter?minated in the fox being run to earth.Owing to\u201d the character of the farms In this seetion, the jumping was frequent and often stiff and high.Towards the close of the day.when borseg and hounds began to tire, numeroys empty saddles were to be seen.but this did not deter the plucky participants from remounting and continuing in the chase.Fortunately no more wrious mishaps occurred than a severe shaking up, and these furnished a wonderful fund of amusing conversation during the latter part of the day.at dinner and on the return trip to the city.Although there were quite a number of ladies present, only one followed, Madame l\u2019ainchand.which did on her game little mare, Caprice, in a style that proved her to he at home in the saddle.The following were the ladles and gentlemen present: Geo.A.Simard,

human beings, is the snake dance of the Moqui Indians.This dance, which is performed in the open air, and to which anyone is admitted, is but the concluding ceremony of nine days of ceremonial which takes place in the kivas, or secret under- around chambers of the Antelope and Snake fraternities, the two (religions organizations that conduct the snake dances.The open air dance begins just at sunset.Scores of visitors from all the neighboring villages and tribes, with a good sprinkling of whites, are assembled.After a weird song and a weirder prayer by both Antelope and Snake priests the handling of the snakes begins.The Antelope priests are singers, while the Snake priests are the dancers.The latter separate into groups of three.One member of a group receives a snake from his chief and places it De- tween his teeth, while the snake wriggles and twists and does its best to get away.A# second member of the group grabs the snake carrier around the body and hugs him, and these two, followed by the third of the group, amble or prance around the dance plaza until the time comes for the snake to be dropped to the ground.Then and band it to one of the Antelope priests, who keep up the song during the whole of the ceremony.When the first snake is thus disposed of the group returns for a fresh one, In the meantime other groups have been doing the same thing.so that before long tbe plaza is a conglomeration of snake priests with snakes in their mouths or their hands and of snakes on the ground trying to escape but closely followed by other priests.This continues until all the supply of snakes is in use.They they are all thrown in a heap in the center of the plaza, prayed over and sprinkled with sacred water and meal; Finaliy, at a signal, the priests stoop and grab wildly at the writhing, wriggling, hissing mass of reptiles and with bands and arms full rush down the steep trails of the Mesa to the valley below.where they deposit their hideous burdens.Returning to the sacred underground chamber they drink a large quantity of an emetic as a solemn act of purification and the snake dance is over for two years, rt CHEAP FUEL.If you want a little warmth In the

ox- plain thæt he said \u2018in England a Catholic cannot hold certain offices.\u201d The correction makes the statement still practically little Detter than a falsehood, for it implies there are a number of such offices.The Toronto Globe says:\u2014 \u201cThe only positions to which a Catholic cannot aspire are the throne and the Lord Chanceliorship.As the throne 1s not open even to Protestant competition, tne Catholics probably do not feel very severely the disability to \u2018\u2018run\u201d for ing or Queen.The Lord Chancellor is supposed to be the keeper of the Sovereign's conscience, and must therefore, be of the same religion.Every other office in the kingdom, in the Cabinet, on the bench, in the civil service, is open to Catholics.The Postmaster-General is a Catholic.the Duke of Norfolk.Catholics have been appointed to the highest positions on the bench.Mr.Gladstone appointed a Catholic to be professor of history in Oxford.Is there, on the other hand a single Catholic in the

the nation had responded to it, he said: \u2018I'he British military system, if it is worth anythiag, must enable us to send an expedition abroad, without depriving our homes of protection.We cannot be satistied unless we can send such an expeditivn without destroying the machinery for maintalning our army abroad.The result of the recent test has been a source of legitimate satisfaction, and is an encouragement to the further effort of the future.\u201d DEALS WITH ARMY CORPS.Dealing with the army corps now going oul, Mr.Wyndbam sald it numbered 24,- 000 regulars, all trained and mature men, including 6,000 cavalry, 114 guns, 261 wagons, from 9,000 to 11,600 horses and 14,000 muies.It had been necessary to ca a portion of the reserves in order to bring some oi the regiments to their full war strength.The Government, therefore, had called for 25,000 men.Assuming that 21,- 000 would be ecffective\u2014and this expectation had been fully veritied-ihe British force in the field would consist of 26,000 men with the colors and 21,000 reservists.\u201cThis may seem a large force,\u201d said Mr.Wyndham, \u201cbut we must reflect that the two republics, by their juxtaposition aud situation, have a strategical advantage, enabling them to concentrate for attack at any point on a frontier of 2,020 miles, a frontler everywhere hundreds of miles from pleces.the sea; and, when we further consider the area involved, which is inhabited by 3.309,- 000 natives, it ig clear that considerations of humanity dictate that the Empire should display an unmistakable exhibition strength, In order to rescue one of {ts grent- est dependencies from the horrors of doubtful and dilatory operations.\u201d EXPLAINS THE SERVICE.In explaining the organization of the enormous transport service, Mr.Wyndham said the reason it was not mobilized earlier would be apparent when he declared that the embodiment of three army corps for home defence and the despatch of two army corps to a country where facilities of locomotion existed would be a graver, vet a shorter and easier task.By October 25.24,000 men would be shipped, that fs, in less than six days.The cost of mobilizing 47.000 men, transferring them 6,000 miles, equipping them .and maintaining them for four months in a land destitute of surplus supplies, Mr.Wyndham said, would be £8,000,000.\u201cBy despatching these thirty-three bat.taliong,\u201d he continued.\u2018\u201c\u2018we destroy thirty- three machines for training men and instructing officers in their simplest duties, and we break up tlhe more complex organ- sm of brigades for the further instruction of generals and staff officers.The Government, therefore, propose to embody thirty-three battalions of militia.FORMING THE BATTALION.\u201cWe should liave violated a fundamental principle of our army system if we had mobilized without militia, that priacipal being that, when all the battalions of a regiment are sent abroad, we must call out the affiliated militia battalion aid form a provisional battalion hy welding the mil- itla and the men under ,twenty left De- hind.\u201cCavalry and field artillery are strength: ened differently.We propose to ralse seven cavalry regiments remaining at home to a higher establishment and then raise the nineteen home batteries to six gun estah- lishments.The steps I have described will not be made to assist in the war against the two republics, but to put the army in the same position as it was before the war.Such steps are necessary unless we are content, firstly.to exist as a nation on sufferance of other powers, and, secondly, to allow to perish the army machine contrived during the last nineteen years at a great sacrifice on the part of taxparers, to protect the islands and to train forces to de- ferd the Empire over sea.\u201d Mr.Wrndham concluded with an eulogy of the commander-in-chief.T.ord Wolseley, and of the offers of the colonies, IRISH OPPOSE ESTIMATES.The Irish members and Mr.Henry La- bouchere alone opposed the estimates.Mr.Michael Davitt, Nationalist member for South Mavo, characterized the war as a \u201chideous and damnable massacre.\u201d He said there had never heen such \u201cmagnificent robbery hy force,\u201d doubtless because the prize was \u2018the greatest that ever tempted the cupidity of the Empire.\u201d John Dillon, Nationalist member for East Mayo, thought a great country ought to be ashamed to have to call out Its reserves.William Redmond.Parnellite member for East Clare, vigorously denounced the policy of the Government, and was repeatedly called to order hy the Speaker for rambline, He contrasted the attitude of Great Britain towards Venezuela with her attitude towards the Transvaal.In the former case, he said, the United States said that Great Britain would have to arbitrate, and the British\u2019 lion went to sleep.There has been no arbitration with the Transvaal because the Transvaal has no neighbor like the United States.Mr.Balfour interrupted Mr.Redmond by gnoving the cloture, and the vote for the troops was then adopted by 200 against 59.~ REDMOND GAIN PROTESTS.Proceeding further to discuss the vote of ineoney for the trogps, Mr.Redmond again protested against the vast sums being spent in war, declaring that the money ought to be expended in ald of distressed Ireland.At this point the chairman interposed, de claring that Mr.Redmond\u2019s remarks were irrelevant.Mr.Redmond, however, Insisted that the money should be spent in Ireland, whereupon the chairman called him to order, but Mr.Redmond persisted in his remarks, and the chairman asked him to resume his seat.This he refused to do, and Le was ther ordered to withdraw, which order also he refused to obey.An uproaricus scene ensued.Mr.Redmond attempting to continue, and his voice being drowned by the cheers of the Irish members, and cries of \u201cOrder\u201d and \u201c\u2018Withdraw\u201d from the opposite benches, The chairman, at length being able to make himself heard.asked Mr.Redmona 1f he declined to wi*hdraw.The latter replied that he did not wish to be discourteous, bur he maintained his right to protest that the money ought to be spent in Ireland, adding, \u2018I will not withdraw, It Is mere robbery or plunder.\u201d 1 AND THEN WALKED OUT.The chairman then called upon the ser- geant-at-arins to remove the ofending member, and Mr.Redmond, amid a scene of confusion, said he would not trouble the sergeant-at-arms, and walked out amid Na- \u201cionalist cheers and che laughter of the other members.Turning to the ministerial- ist benches as he left the chamber, Mr.Redmond shouted: \u201cI wish you joy of the blood of the Boers and your victory over the poor Transvaal farmers.\u201d After an angry passage between Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, Conservative member for the Eccleshall Divicion of Sheffield.and Michael Davitt, Nationalist member for South Mayo, at the concluston of which Mr.Davitt was called upon to withdraw an expression characterizing a statement of Sir Ellis Ashmead Rartlett as a falsehood, Mr.Dillon gugeested that a yote he taken on the main question.De woull only ask, he said, an assurance of the same treatment for the enemies wounded as for the wounded of the British, Mr.Balfour replied that the dictates of of | re humanlty and civilisation would ensure at.\u2018The vote of £10,000.000 was then carried, the result being announced as 271 for and 32 agalnst the credit.The House then adjourned.DELAGOA BAY AND SAMOA.In reply to a question in the House of Commons to-day regarding the rumored purchase of Delagoa Bay by Great Britain, Mr.Balfour said no arrangement had been made for snch a transaetion.» Replying to a question as to Samos, e said no decision had yet been reached with reference to the future administration 0 the islands, and the matter was still under consideration.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A SULPHUR ISLAND It Lies off the North Coast of New Zealand \u2014 A Lake of Acid in the Centre.About thirty miles from shore In the Bay of Plenty, North Island, New Zealand, says the Sclentiic American, is an immense rock or rather series of rocks three miles in circumference which rise preci pitously from the sea to a hefzht of 860 feet.\u201cWhite Island\u201d is the name given to the spot, and the name is particularly appropriate because it Is constantly enveloped In thick impenetrable ciouds of white vapor which rise to over 10,000 feet in height, making White Island a conspicuous object for many miles around.It is perhaps the most extraordinary island in the world.The island Is practically one mass of sulphur, while the clouds of vapor constant- iv rushing from the craters are Dighly charged with acid fumes, which can be noticed sixty miles away.The appearance from fhe sep is most imposing, the rocks rising abruptly from the waters.At first sight it seems impossible to effect a lanu- ing, but as the steamer sweeps around the south side of the island into Crater Bay, a beach comes into view, which though small is sufficient to admit of disemharka- tion provided the sea is calm.This is the only level stretch on the island, the rest being great irregular rocks.In the centre of the island is a lake fifty acres in extent and 12 feet deep and it is 15 feet above the level of the sea.The water contains vast \u201cquantities of acid and tne temperature is about 110 degrees Fahrenheit.It is dark green and dense clouds of dark sulphurous fumes are constantly rolling off from this boiling caldron.At one side of the lake are blowholes and the roar of steam as it pours forfh into the air is deafening and huge bowlders and stones are often hurled to a height of several hundred feet.À Font brought from the ship can be launched on the lake, and the very edges of the blow-fioies may be safely explored, but the trip is by no means an enjoyable one, and only those who have inhaled fumes of acid can form any idea of their very overpowering nature when given off in large quantities from such an expanse.Should the boat upset, death would be almost instantaneous.When a boat is taken to the sea, it becomes so corroded fbat it drops to The mouths of tiie biowholes gre weird in the extreme.Steam belches forth from every fissure and crevice in the rocks and ground, while the noise drowns all other sounds.\u2018I'he whole island is in a ceaseless state of agitation.Except in the immediate neighborhood of the craters no sulphur is apparent on the surface but by digging a little into the earth large beds of this mineral will be laid bare, for the island is practically one mass of sulphur mixed with a quantity of gypsum and one or two ether substances.The White Island sulphur Is much esteemed on account of its purity, and it can be employed for any purpose without any .preliminary preparation.The older deposits contain about $0 per cent.pure sulphur, and that around the blowholes 98 per cent.It is surprising thaf these immense deposits have not heen more systematically worked.Some years age a company was formed for working the deposits, but for the lack of capital the scheme was abandoned and the amount of sulphur gnd gypsum exported at present is very small.In the event of a serous war, doubtless the island would immediately rise to prominence.-

to the importance of the canal system recently completed by the Canadian Government connecting Lake Erie with the Atlantic, by way of the St.Lawrence river.At a meeting of the New York State Commerce conveu- tion at Utica last week resolutions in part as follows were adopted, with only two dissenting votes: \u2014 _ \u2018\u201cTyhervas, \u2018Whe commérciar supremacy and the prosperity of the city and state of New York were created by conditions of traffic which were developed by the Erie, Oswego and Champlain canals, and that from their inception these waterways have been efficient factors in preserving such prosperity, and supremacy: ang, \u201cWhereas, \u2018I'he neglect in maintaining these canals in suitable condition and the the eflicient methods of transportation employed thereon have resulted in the decline of their efficiency and relative uscfulness, so that they have become less important factors in controlling freight rates from the west to the Atlantic seaboard than forms.erly, principally because the same inteili- gence that has brought about the great de- velopirent of The railroad systems, thereby increasing their efliciency and cheapness of service, has not been brought to the canal systems; and, \u201cWhereas, The Dominion of Canada, recognizing the power and influence of sufficient waterways in determining the course of traffic, has enlarged the canal connecting the great lakes with Montreal, and is contemplating the construction of a canal connecting Lake Hurou directly with the St.l.awrence river, and thereby has increased tlie importance of Montreal and other Can- adjan seaports in such a way as to seriously threaten the trade of American ports.\u201cResolved, That the Erie, Oswego, and Champlain canals ought to be materially improved to maintain the commercial supremacy of the State, thereby promoting the prosperity of its people.\u201d The Canadian canal system, designed to accommodate vessels of fourteen-foot draught, will certainly divert considerable trafic from New York City to Montreal unless something is done to counteract the tendency.The people of New York, instead of plating dependence upon their State canal system, should co-operate wiin other interests tributary to the great lakes to secure thé construction by the Federal Government of a deep waterway across the State of New York connecting the lakes with the Atlantic.OUR LONG EXPERIENCE.Our long experience in the drug business enables ds to cater with success and satisfaction to the most critical and exacting people.Our drugs and medicines are

THAN EVER Some Merchants Say That They A~ myst Too Busy \"\u2014What is Being Done in the Leading Lines of Trade.Although the weather has been rather on the mild side again the past week ai is considered by merchants to be backward, there has been an appreciable improvement in the volume of general business and almost all lines are participating in it.There can be no question but that the situation is a distinctly healthy one, and when some merchants begin to complain that they are \u201ctoo busy\u2019 it means something, : The various assertions that are being made regarding business activity are well backed up by actual rgures such as bank clearings, rallroad earnings and the record of failures.All these point and have pointed for some time tv a vast improvement over 1808.A cheerful view of the sttnation is taken by the editor of the Trade Bulletin who says: \u201cIt is no exaggeration to say that the trade outlook is brighter than it has been for a number of years past, and it is safe to say that at no previous time in the commercial history of the Dominion have such.RARE OPPORTUNITIES been presented for the development of the vast resources of the country than at the present time.Manitoba, with its millions of acres of rich virgin soil offers a splendid field for the successful labor of agricultural emigrants from the United Kingdom, as it is bound to become one of the greatest whent producing countries in the world.Then there are the mining lands of British Columbia, pregnant with the precious metals, the development of which 1s only In its infancy.There is in fact nc country on the face of the globe that offers such advantages to agricultural and mining emigrants as Canada does at the present time.The general trade of the country during the past week has been good, although not particuary active, this being the between seasons In w number of lines.Money is firm at 5 1-2 per cent.on call, although some brokers say they have been able to get private loans at a little lower rate.Discounts are steady, the rates for commercial paper being 6 to 7 per cent.ANOTHER VIEW, R.G.Dun\u2019s Beview says this week:\u2014 \u201cPuilures In the Montreas district for the past week number foarteen, but apart from the liquidation of a mining company, wiose operauens have: been practically suspendeu for several years, they are among traders of a minor class.The Thauksgiving hon- day has made a somewhat broken week in trade, and no very notable features are; to Le reported in the situation at Mon- | treal.The wärm, open wéather has affeêt- ed sales of dry goods retailers to some degree, but rhe wlholesais trade repuri guod orders still coming in, and the city wxre- houses continue to show a considerable degree of bustle and activity.Further advances are manifested in domestic cottons and woollens, amd manufacturers of shirts, overalls, etc., are revising prices, while letters from buyers now In Europe make a special note of the big advances they are | having to pay in all lines of woollen goods.Shoes and leather are less active, but all values in the latter line are stiff.Some Western sole leather tanners advise their selling agents not to be surprised at an advance any time, and business with England is réported to continue very good.Dongolas and sheep skins are held at much firmer figures.Wholesale grocers report a good distributinn, and look for some weeks further activity.Sugars are lower 5 cents per cental, owing te an easier market for raw heet, and the probability of! renewed competition from American refiners.Fine Japan teas are reported as gotting somewhat sea¥ee, And firmer prices seem fo be anticipated.A good movement is reported in metals and hardware, with alt advances well held.Turpentine keeps moving upwards, a further advance of two cents haing established this week, and linseed oil has heen put in a cent.Dry lead 18 ecahled vn a ponnd a ton, whiel advice, If received a few days

quarters thut the slate of business througa- out the Dominion is being too highly colored for political reasons.The following reports on leading lines are from the Trade Bulletin, a non-political organ, and an excellent authority on trade, DRY GOODS BRISK.Trade continues active and brisk, and sales most sutisfactory for ibis season of the year.Prices are continually advancing on all staple lines, in some cases as much as 10 per cent., and still greater advances are looked for in the very near future, and close and shrewd buyers are now having their spring orders booked, feeling sure key will have to pay more if buying later.emittances continue to be satisfactory, and everything now points to a very satisfactory closing of the year's business.IRON IN DEMAND.The strength of the pig

in the Number of Cattle the Price Goes Up All Round.Early last August the price of beef was suddenly advamced from tem to thirty per cent.in all the markets, to the consternation of the retail dealer amd the consumer, writes Ray Stannard Baker, in llarper\u2019s Weekly.Kvery one eats meat, and every one's pocket was Instantly and disagreeably affected.There was no apparent rex- son in the East for such a spectacular rise In prices, and It was inevitable that the trust bogie, which may yet be blamed for the failure of the peach crop, should at once be singled out as the cause of all the trouble.In New York the butchers evem went 80 far as to discuss, seriously, the ad visability of forming an association through which they might obtain thelr cattle direct from the ranches of the West, and slaughter them in opposition to the Chicago \u2018beef barous.\u201d But Is was not a truet that advanced the prices of meat, the change was the result of the remarkable condition ef prosperity, growth, aud expansion in the great West.Indeed, there could be no better indication of the return of good times than this very advance in the price of meat, for no other comriodity is 80 sensitive to the financial condition of the people.With the appearance of hard times, and the necessity of economy, the average person saves first on his meat bill-he buys cheaper cuts, he eats mgre mutton and pork and less beef; he lies on corn meal and wheat tour.Statistics show that three times as much mutton was consumed last year in proportiou to the population as was consumed in the Years of plenty during the late 80's.With the return of prosperity, however, the demand for beef, and for the choicest steals and roasts at once begun to Increase, and this demand has had a natural tendency to force the price upward.THE SUPPLY IS DECREASING.If, however, this were the only cavse of the recent advance, there niighat be ground for accusing the great packers of the West of manipulating prices.But it is only one feature in the present remarkable develop ment of the cattle industry; for not only has the demand of the consumer increased, but the supply has actually heen decreasing for years.On January 1, 1840, there wera in the United States, according to the Department of Agriculture, 36.840,024 head of cattle, or 589 to every 1.000 of population.By 1895 this number had decreased by upward of 2.000,000 head.the total being 34.364,216.This world mean about 400 head of cattle for every 1.000 of population.From that time dnwn to the present vear the number fell off by nearlv 2.000.000 head annnvally, dropning to a little more than 22.000 00N In 1598.20.502 408 {A 1907, 29,264, 090 in 1898, and 27,904.225 in 1889.At pre- gent, therefore, conntine the ponulation of the Tnite States at 73.090 ON0, there wnnld he onlv 273 head of cattle to every 1.000 of population.Since 1892 the numher nf cat tle has decreased bv fully 10 000.000, or nearly 27 ner fant, At the same time the numher nf swine has docrensedl from over 51.000.000 in 1990 to SR 651.624 In the present vear, Tha nimher of ghren alsn fell off hatyrann 1800 and 1807.and then hbegan to increase, heing nvar

PRICES PAID.Statistics will show this conditlon exactly.On August 10, 1897, the best price waid by the packers in the open markets of Chicago and Kansas City for choice Western cattle on the hoof was $4.80 a hundred pounds, which wouid mean a cost of 7.9 cents a pound for prime beef.A year later, on August 10, 1898, the packers were forced to pay the stock-growers as high as $3.23 a hundred pounds, or 8.5 cents a pound for prime beef.On August 10 of this year the price for the best grade of cattle had gone vp to £6.20 a hundred pounds, making prime heef cost 9.25 cents a pound.In other words, the \u2018\u2018beef barons\u201d were compelled te pay to the siock-raiser $1.40 niere per hundred pounds for cattle in the open market in Angust, 1399, than they paid in August, 1207.In the case of a 1560 pound steer the packer would pay £21 more in 1899 than he did In 1897.Rut the edible portion ef an animal is only K® per cent.ef the whole: that Ix, there are £70 pnounds of good beef in a steer weighing 1.500 pounds.The ad vance must therefore be spread over the S70 pounds, which would Increase the advance from $1.40 per hundred for the live animal to $2.41 for the edible parts.Very naturally the packers and slaughterers, being comnelled to pay more for beef, charged more for it.Indeed, a representative of a large packing-house informed me that his company lost monev on some of its sales, because it did not raise its prices fast enough to keen once with the rise in the price of stock.The retall denlers were eanally slow ahont putting vn their shan prices, for fear of losing trade: they kent comforting themselves with the hope that heef wonld soon go down again.And thus, two months aen, when the demand began to be sharn, thev were comnelled to nut mn thelr

of cattle has been decreasing.The first and most important of these is the failure of millions of acres of grazing-land in the West, because of its having been over-pas- tured.On some of the semi-arid ranges the grass has actually been eaten out, roors and all, and the stock-mmen are compelled to drive their herds far Into almost inacces sible valleys among the miouniains.Sheep have also been crowding the cuttle out, and settlers are coming in and fencing the ranges.In seven yenrs the great cattle State of Texas has suffered a decrease in its herds of 2.500.000 head, or nearly a quarter of the whole decrease in the United States Cuba has also lost heavily, owing largely to the war.In 1893 she had 800.000 cattle.and now she has fewer than 25.000.And the decrease still continnes all over the conntrv in epite of higher prices and greater demands.All this would seem to indicate at first glance a very unsettled and unsatiefactory condition of tha cattle industry.but the facts show quite the contrary.The cattle bneinees has never heen mare nrosperous than it iq at thiqa ppamanr\u2014indend.tq nraa.perity, is hardly shert ef amazing.It is inst at the edze of à n-+ era.The day of the

pounds.There was lively bidding for them, and thay nuany soid for $6.90 a hundred pounds Aie highest September price paid in fiteen years.The average price per steer was, therefore, $109.43, and they yielded a large pront to the grower.In this way the farmer made his cornu crop highly valuable.Indeed, s0 Important has the business of fattening cattle hecome in the corn States that the stock-raisers actually buy poor- grade cattle in the upen stock yaras mar- et at Chicago, ship them out by rall, feed them well for three months, ana Dring them back at a considerable pront.THE CATTLE BUSINESS.Few people have any realization of the enormous volume of the cattle business, or how many persons are affected by an 1m- provement In conditions.In generat, every faimer ts a stock-raiser, alrhough possibly on a small rceale.On January 1, 1/9, according to the statistician of ihe bepart- ment of Agriculture.the United States possessed nearly 44,000,000 htad of cartie, of which about 16.000.000 were mlcn COWS.At a valuation of $20.68 for the cows anu of $22.70 for other cattle, the totar property would reach the enormous sum of over $1.100.000,000.Of this, Texas 1s the heaviest sharer: then comes Iowa, anu then Missouri.Both corn and wheat rails ing are great Industries, but tney pale In comparison with the cattle Lnsiness.A vear\u2019s crop of corn in the Tnirca States has a value of ahout $500,000,000, and that of wheat, $400,000,000, more or 1ess, but there is never a full crop ot eltncr on hand, because the consumer bezins to eat the wheat and corn, and the exporter begins to send them out of the country, as soon as the harvest is over \"he vaine OL both wheat and corn on hand at any one time, then.is only a very small percentage of the value of the cattle on hana.It will be seen, therefore, thal tne return of good times to the stock-man means a much wider distribution of the fruits of prosperity throughout the country-\u2014naeed, a much more favorable condition ait over the nation\u2014than a single good wneat or corn.or cotton crop.And not oniy 1s tno cattle-nan himself profiting by tie rrme 10 rices, but the railroad nan is doipg more usiness, for after bringing the iean CAC tle to market he may freight them out to the farmer to be fattened, and then back again to the market, whereas in ordinary times he might move them only once.1D the same way the boom in cattle means better business for the slaughterers anu packers, and for the great number or men engaged in the business.And with more money and more business activity tne wages of the ordinary workman and tne non-producer must go up, as they actually have been going tp for months prst\u2014some- times at the end of a strike, but more often without it.And with more wages the workman can buy more good meat ev en at a higher price.Beefsteaks Cost more than they did a year ago, hot the couniTs can better afford to pay for them.hus the great chain of prosperity Is comples In another Hne.And the end of tne aa vance is not yet in sight.ye SPECIAL NOTICE.Don't purchase à piano until you have inspected our large stock of instruments.If you cannot afford a new one, We have

ONF, CENT NATIVE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA Why Basutos and Zulus Are Strongest Allies of the British Government in Its War Against Transvaal Boers.pue\u201d No one can visit South Africa, mingle among its peoples, interview its politicians, see its resources, listen to the views of the various sections that make up its population, without realizing the gravity and fmportance of the social and political problems that there await solution, writes W.F.Bailey in a recent number of the Ka- tional Review.He continues: In perhaps no part of the British Empire are local politics more complicated than in fhe Cape Colony at the present time.The supporters of the Africander Bond are largely composed of persons who fundamentally differ from the traditional Duten policy on the native question, while the African League contains the strongest admirers of Mr.Rhodes, who has hitherto been identified with the Dutch on that particular subject.Were the Bond to sweep the country on the present political Issues its adherents would almost immediately split up on the treatment of the native races.Two questions overshadow \u2018all others in South Africa at the present: time.That of perhaps most pressing importance is the relationship of the various white communities to one another; but the second question\u2014that of the future relations of the white and the black\u2014must in time outgrow all others, and is even now the most difficult to see one\u2019s way out of.It Is not easy for us in Great Britain to realize the Importance of the race question as it presents itself in South Africa.We are accustomed to contemplate the problem of the colored races in the United States of America and to speculate on Îts solution.Few of us realize hew few are the whites in South Africa.There are not 400,000 of them all told in the Cape Colony.There are not 300,000 of them In all the other States put together, There is a larger white population in the county of Essex than in\u2018 Africa, south of the equator.On the other hand, there is a comparatively large native population.It numbers in the Cape Colony about 1.350,- 000; in the Transvaal, about 750,000: in Natal, 500,000; and taking all the States south of the Zambesi it amounts to at least 6,000,000 pcople.There are therefore at least eight natives to every white man in South Africa, and the natives are increasing in numbers at a greater rate than the Europeans.MAGNITUDE OF QUESTIONS.The visitor tô South Africa very quickly realizes the significance of this racial question.He is at once siruck by the atti- \u2018ude of the white persons with whom he comes in contact toward the native, who is almost universally regarded as an inferior being, antagonistic to, and unfit to be classed in the same category as any of the Éuropean races; yet to a great extent a necessary element It Is recognized that without him the immense resources of the country could not be economically developed.We must at the same time remember that, so far as we can estimate, both the agricultural and mineral wealth of tlie country are not of a sut- ficiently high-class character, or so favorably circumstanced, as to enable them to be profitably exploited except at a low cost of production.As it is, the Cape Colony is obliged to protect her farmers against the competition of more favored agricultural communities, such as Austrailia, and it is certain that the gold mines of the Transvaal can only be worked at a profit under a low rate of wages.Under these circumstances we might expect that the native would be considered not alone a valuable indusrial force in South Africa, but also a useful ally of the white man.We find, however, that while utilized as far as possible for industrial purposes, hae is considered a most undesirable fellow.citizen, and a growing menace to the su- The and the Hottentot are excellent as working agents in the same way as are the horse and the ox, and if they could be managed as are these useful animals, they would be a distinct advantage to the country, and constitule a most valuable section of its fauna.The trouble is that the native wants, or rather some white men went for him, similarity of treatment with other human beings, with the result that full use cannot be made of him as an agent in the production of wealth, BELIEVE IN SLAVERY.Many men are to be found in South Africa to-day who boldly assert that the abolition of slavery was a mistake\u2014that it set back the prosperity of the Colony and needlessly irritated the Dutch population.Jn Europe certain ideas as to the rights of humanity have permeated opinion, and slavery in its bald expression has necome an impossihility.It is found, however.that the colored races have, as a rule, none of that quality which we consider so desirable a trait in others \u2014love of work for work's sake.A Ka:ar spends his earnings on liquor, his only spur to money-making is his desire to marry a wife and establiSh a household.Although the settlement which a Kaffir must make with his wife\u2019s kindred before marriage is for him a very substantial one, his wages in the mines\u2014often averaging two shillings a day or three pounds a month\u2014in a com paratively short time bring him in the required amount.He then returns\u2019to nis native district and takes to himself a wife: We can well understand.under such cir cumstances, that the white employer in South Africa must find himself sorely tried.In the old days the Dutch colonist treated the natives in a very different manner.His Hottentot servants were in a manner ad- seripti glebae: they were attached to the soll: and worEked practically for Their hoard and lodging.When the Boer farmer \u201ctrekked\u201d across the Vaal river he adnpt- ed the same nolicy towards the natives whem he found there.It never entered in: to his head fo treat them as having equal rights with the whites.In framing his ronctitntinn he tatally exelnded them from citizenship, and denied them the power of holding land in the State.Fren to the present dav fhe native iz ruled by sternly repressive measnres in the Transvaal.Fe cannot move from

numbered ticket, and in towne he Ir not allowed to walk on the footpaths, no matter how well-dressed or clean he ay he.OBJECTION TO THE NATIVE.It 13 not difficult to understand the cause of the Dutchman's objection to be put on eqial terms with the native.For cen turies his forefathers fought against hordes of aborigines, who were always greatly Superior in numbers, and whom the Boer hevertheless invariably triumphed over.his constant and ever victorious warfare colored the mind of the Dutchman.He looked on the Hottentot and the Kaffir as he looked on the wild animals {hat sur rounded him on every side.Some he on quered and destroyed, others he domesticated.Fle gradually ceased fo regard ihe ative as a fellow man.To have him NOW raised {o an equality iz degrading.On the other hand, the British Govern- Ment has treated the natives with far more lenfency than have the Boers.It has Zenerally recognized thelr rights, and as ar ag possible preserved their customs And laws, The Englishman long resident @ Cape Colony as a rule adopts the Boer Kaffir | view of the question.to me a South Africa : ou Tom Great Britain filled with he most liberal sentiments towards the thilves, which a short residence among to re guickly dissipated; and such seems ran we case.This sentiment fs so unl- Ni 4 en among the best edueated and thos Le dghtful residents in South Africa,

and varied experience of the country along the course of the Orange River, acknowledæ ed to Me at once that the most Importan problem in South Africa was this of the lafives.\u2018They are,\u2019 he said, \u2018nercasing so fast that there are only two courses open-either to amalgamate wltn them, or shoot them down.White men will nor amalgamate with them.The Duteh farm: er has kept the Bushman and Tlortentot, uorth and south of the Orange River, in check for the last two hundred years by shooting alone, and if we are to maintain our superiority in the country we must continue the practice.\u201d Three methods of dealing with the natives have been advocated in South Africa by various sections of politicians.Nome declare that there is no insuperable objee- tion to an amalgamation between white and black\u2014that the time will come when no distinction of race or color wiit prevail, and that a general \u201cblend\u201d will soive race questions.It hardly requires a persona: acquaintance with Cape half-breecas to give a conclusive negative to this tneory, ror the half-caste 1s not a success unrwnere.Another svggested method is vo arive tne native back to those parts of the African continent where he can live.ana wnere the European cannot thrive.This seiution ot the diflieulty has the charm or simpriclty, but it has the obvious objections tna: tie native dees not want to leave nis iocation or country, and even if he d'A mare for those insalubrious regions allotteæa wo him, he would find them already oceupiea by It was often sald that many persons

me ug of the intelyicciual capacity of the Zuiu people.Their language is rich, and quiie capable of expressing abstract idees.Jt would, he said, be easy to give a lecture on any technical sclentific question of the day in the Zulu tongue.They possess 3 keen sense of justice according to their own standard, and although polygamists, are a moral peopie._.Man for man and woman for woman, the Zulu is more moral than rhe average Luropean.Both sexes have a high sense of duty and great courage.Thelr philosophy Is largely expressed in the saying: \u2018A man can only die once; let him die doing.\u201d CANNOT BE IGNORED.It is evident, then, that a people pos- Sesglug such characteristics\u2014and many of the vther Baniu peuples resemble the Zulu, though they may not equal them\u2014 and who at the same time are growing in numbers, caunot be ignored, even by the most self-contained of white politicians.Unless we set back with a vengeance the hands of the clock we cannot hope to treat such a people as beasts of burden, or cternally as children.A person of high official position ana intelhgzenee in the Cape Colony, who re- ognized this, said to me, Fducate the dative and he becomes useless.Ile must he Kept in his place.Slavery should never have been abolished.It is a struggle be- ween the white man and the black, and \u2018he white must win hy one means or an other.\u201d But the thin end of the wedge has been Inserted.Education is proceeding apace, and the struggle to reserve the dominance of the \u2018Caucasian\u2019\u201d is every day bee-ming more difficult in South Africa.With the British and Dutch at war in South Africa, unquestionably the Lkeen- est, and not the least useful, supporters ot Grent Britain are the Basutos.who are most anxious to avenge*their wrongs on the Boers of the Free State, and the Zulus, who are equally ready to precipitate their forces on the Dutch of the Transvaal.rte FROM WOMEN OF TORONTO.It was Decided at a Meeting Yesterday to

heads of the various departments Into which the War Office is divided is, at this time of crisis, not quite the easiest thing in the world.Half the piessmen in vieet Street haunt the entrance for hours daily, in the hope of buttonholing one or the responsible members of the staff.\u2018These latter, however, are all animatea by an invincible antipathy to being \u2018\u2019buttonholed, and the result is that the hordes of would- be interviewers, etc., have to go informa- tionless away.The Cerberus who guards the portals at No.88 is not to pe trifled with, and a long experience with the ways of the copy-monger has taught blm to uu- erringly detect at a glance those wao shouid be denied admittance.Provided, nowever, one can convince him that one has no intention of propounding queries on tne subject of whether Sir Redvers Buller 1s \u201cjustified in slaying \u2018his brotner boer, or not?\u2019 the path is proportionately smoothed and the desired hearing evenruany ga'u- ed.Then the intrepid explorer 1s rapidiy p-loted through a laLyinth of tortucus passages, upstairs, downstairs, across court- vards, and along corridors, until finally, feeling that the shackles of red-tape have indeed seized him \u2018n their grasp, a door 1s suddenly flung open and he discovers the desired ofticlal in his lair.HOW BUSINESS IS DONE.A word or two about the manner In which the business of the establisnment is carried on: Everyone knows, of course, that, according to pupular supersiition, the occupants of War Office stools have nothing to do, all day to do it in, ana nand- some salaries for wasting the publics ume, A five minutes\u2019 peep behind the scenes, however, would probably go far to disabuse the lay mind of this impression, tor the fact remains that there are few places where the pressure of work to the square inch is greater than it is here.OL course, there are times when the tale or iapor tn be performed is not embarrassingly large, but such a tle is certainiy not one wncen, as just now, an army corps has to be despatched to South Africa.On the con viry, 4 ceaseless grind of hard work in : Du tion with the selecting and interv ing of officers, composing staffs, arrangwg tor transports, manufacturing stores, anu equipping battalions with fieid-service rit, ete, has to be got through.The consequence is that, at the present moment, all hands are employed night and ¢é-r.and even ou Sundays Lord Wolseley ms enief as- sistauts are unable to «, .¢ themselves, Accordingly, they go down to ¥6 Pall Mal in hansoms and do siness in their « ferent rooms on this «ay as on any oth.INTO SIX DEPARTMENTS.For all practical purposes, it may be stated that the War Office is divided into six military departments, respectivety presided over by the following officers: The Commander-in-Chief's Department (Ficld-Marshal Viscount Wolseley, i.pP.Private secretary, Col.the Hon.G.11.Gough, C.B.): adjutant-general (Gen.Sir H.E.Wood, G.C.M.G.\u2026.V.C.); quartermaster-gen- eral (Gen.Sir C.Mansfield Clarke, X.C.B.); inspector-general of fortifications (Gen.Sir R.Harrison, K.C.B.); director-genera! of ordnance (Geu.Sir H.Brackenonury, RA.C.B.); director-gencral Army Mealca: De partment (Surgeon-Major-Generai 4.samie- son, M.D.) After these there are various sun-divis- ions dealing with veterinary, equipment, finance, and barrack-construction matters, \"Military Inte.gence Division (presided over by Maj.-Gen.Sir J.C.Ar- dagh, K.C.I.E.) has its offices at 1& Queen Anne\u2019s Gate, S.W.All the above officers are of well and often-proved ability.\u2018This is just as it should be, for the task with whicn 1'ey are confronted just now is no lignt one.A single false move or cere of \u2018aagment at this juncture means an aftermarn or incalculable harm later on.The troops (as I write) en rout» for the Cape are the 1st Royal Irish Fusiliers, the 2nd Rifle Brigade, the 1st Boider Regi ment (all from the Mediterranean stations), and 1st Devonshire Regiment, Ist Gloucester Regiment, 2nd Battalion of the 60:h Rifles, and 2nd Battalion of the Gordon Highlanders (all from India), and the 1st Battalion of the Northumberlana pusiliers, from home.The following reinforcements may be expected to land in South Africa on the dates respectively set forth below: Corps.Destination.Date.Royal Field Artillery .Natal Oct.20 18th Battery .+.Natal 62nd Battery .Natal 75th Battery .+.Natal Border Regt.1st Bat .Capetown Oct.Rifle Brigade, 2nd Bat.Capetown Oct.2 warlike tribes, disinclined to share territory with strangers and outlanders.The method advocated by the Arricander element in the Cape, and the adoption of which by Mr.Rhodes largely secured for him the support of the Dutch, is that the -native should be treated as a helot\u2014as a hewer of wood and drawer of water.This policy is strongly opposed to the principies of the philanthropic or humanitarian pol- ticians, who exercise so large an influence on English opinion.and althougn widely held and openly advocated in South At- rica, is not usually exported for consumption in Great Britain.The native races in South Africa, on the whole, exhibit a strong disinennation to die out.Undoubtedly the Hottento: has greatly decreased in numbers,and the Bushman has almost become extinct to the south of the Orange River, but tne rapid increase in numbers of the Kafir or Bantu races has much more than countervaianced these exceptions.The Kafir also possesses qualities that make hls increase .a muca more serious matter for the European, who naturally seeks for a tranquil acquiescence in his domination, than might appear [rom a balance of the gain and loss in pum bers furnished by the various nanve peoples.QUALITIES OF THE RACES.The Hottentot was, on the whole, a tractable and servile creature, decidedly useful to his white master.The Bushman, on the other \u2018hand, was, and is, à wila animal, with all the savage instincts, the cunning, the low standard of morals\u2014as we count morals\u2014the marvellous perfection of the senses, and the innate intractaniiity of other wild animals of the veitd and the desert.The Kafir, in comparison, 18 Capable of great things.His race has produced men of immense and aomimnating ability.Many competent to juage poid:y assert that Chaka, the grea: King of the Zulus in the early part of this century, was almost the equal of Napoleon Bonaparte in many of the qualities tnat made the Coisican the eonqueror of the nations ve cs mil*tary > Zulus haxe shown MU\u2018 : quater in the field against British troops, and are admitted by all to be a most Intelligent and highly-organized race.One who has had an intimate Kknowieage of them, who thoroughly understanas thelr language, Who has a complete mastery oi view of our volunteers being called in'o active service, desire to extend our heartfelt sympathy to the brave men wuo have so unselfishly offered their services to stand side by side with the Mother Country in this Transvaal crisis, and are of the opin- fon that as wives, mothers, ana sisters, some step should be taken that in a tangible way should serve as a reminder to them of the loved ones left belinda.\u201d Mrs.Robertson suggested providing a necdlecase in three colors, red, white and blu,e made with chamois leather back, ana containing sections for court piasier, etc, The court plaster was to be In a neat silver shield, bearing the words: \u2018\u2019Ko heal all wounds save those of love.\u201d Mrs.Rutherford, president of the Domin- fon W.TJ., warmly supported this idea, which was eventually adoptea.The name of the recipient will be engraved on the court plaster case, and a Testament will also be included.ll THE GERMAN ATTITUDA.Semi-Official Organ kixpresses Convice tion That English Victory Will Benefit Trade Conditions.Berlin, Oct.20.\u2014The Cologne Gazette concludes an editorial article on the Transvaal war by saying that improved conditions in the South African Republic can only be made sure when England takes over the administration of affairs.Local German interests, the Gazette says, will welcome this.If\u2019 says the Gazette, \u2018\u2018the Boers, in consequence of

contains the following account of the departure of Major Girouard for South Africa: There was a large and interested crowd in the Southampton docks on Saturday to see tne Mexican leave for the Cape.The scene was similar to that enacted on the prev- lous day, except that the number of officers and men going out was not nearly so large.The Mexican is on the ordinary mail service; but the_ passengers were largely made up of ollcers and detai.s of various regiments already at the Cape.The troops arrived early in the day and embarked before most of the visitors had arrived.The men soon mide themselves at home in their berths and then came on deck, where they were the objects of much attention throughout the afternnon.Among the oflcers were AMajor Baker, Colonel J.F.Brocklehurst,

petition.If you will now, gentlemen, consider this meeting open, and choose a secretary, the meeting then will submit resolutions to you.It is suggested that Mr.Richard White act as secretary of the

I would ask Mr.White to read the resolution hi ad been prepared.we Whiter, Chairman, I var rstand that His Lordship the Bishop of Montreal, has consented to move, and Mr.Smith, President of the Board of Trade, to second, the following resolution\u2019 THE RESOLUTION.\u201cPhat, in view of the early departure of Canadian troops for the Transvaal, and the importance of assuring the men of the regiment that they have public commendation of their service, the public be invited through the press to aid a public subscription on ir behalf;

CO ant it will be competent for the committee to relieve any Cases of distress occurring amongst those who have been dependent upon men who have joined the regiment, and particularly those who have been induced to enlist by reason of their proficiency as marksmen, or some other peculiar fitness, and further to aid those who may return incapacitated for werk by reason of \u2018wounds, or sickness contracted in the service, and to secure employment to those who require it, and further to arrange for the insurance of the lives of the members of the contingent ili om Montreal.\u201d A G.Roddick Is vice-president of fering from heart palpi- \u2018tation, mer- vousness, weak, faint or dizzy spells, anaemia, hys - teria, pale and sallow complexion or any of those ailments of the heart and nerves that render so many women invalids |N \u2014is Mil- burn\u2019s Heart gl and Nerve à Pills.Ny;

sce His Worshlp in tne vay pleased to t is an : ._ (Cheers) RE Spl [he sl 5 con- meer Consequently, 1 congratulate the Ig on his presence.War is hi to be deprecated, I fancy, at all times.Ing are pretty well all agreed that, if it were possible, we should do, as we continually pray t i God would give peace in ou.he.ut 1 suppose, under the present umstances, gentlemen, we cannot expect that we shall be without war\u2014at an: rate, until the Prince of Pcace makes hi a vent, and then, thank God, there wil \u20ac no more war.I necd not quote to you the pass y passage of Seripture that I have in ny mind.There will be no more war whe # comes; but until that time we are leu to believe that there will be wars and rumors of wars, and they will only be put an end to by His presence.Having enter ed into the war, we must carry ourselves in such a way that no avoldable misery shall be felt.so I think England has beer doing her duty In putting forth her strength, so that it shall be, with God's blessing, a speedy and a successful war.li Is our duty, as far as In us les, to help and comfort the young men going from here.At all events, we can do it by union, and I am glad to see a committee appointed, because organization\u2019 is absolutely demanded, and that organization will command, 1 hrge no doubt, the respect of all, so that there will be no hesitation in sending in, as far as in us lies, all that will be requir ed for their comfort and their health.O course an organization like that wilt take care that they are not overburdened.Ii they were to take all that was at their disposal, they would be apt, at the first sign of a conflict, to throw it all away.We must simply provide such things as will be requisite for their comfort until they reach the battlefleld, and I feel gure that there will remain many things which will be of service to them at that time.One thing will encourage and stimulate them, and that is the consciousness of our sympathy.the consciousness that our hearts will be with them.You remember what was sald at one time of conflict, \u2018What will they say in England?(Cheers.) and each of our young men will say to himself, \u2018What will the say and think in Canada?and T am sure they will not only carry the old flag successfully through tle conflict, but that we shall be glad fo know that they have sn courageousiy and with so much self-denial carried the credit of Canada all through the country, wheresoever they may be.\u201d (Loud cheers.) MGR.RACICOT\u2019S BEST WISHES.The Mayor then said it gave him much pleasure to read the following letter from Mgr.Racicot, who, in the absence of Mgr.Bruchesi, the Archbishop, administers the diocese of Montreal: \u201cMr.President \u2014I have just learnod through the press that I was to take part nt a mecting of citizens which was to take place to-day.to arrange to provide for the comrort of the Canadlan soldlers who are going to South Africa to fight for Queen and country.Y is impossible for me to be with you at the honr for which the meeting has been called but allow me, Mr.President, to tell you that you can count upon my zeal and co-operation in this matter.I have the honor to be, Mr.President, \u201cYour obedient servant, (Signed) \u201c1,, ItACICOT.\u201d ALD.LAPORTE\u2019S ENDORSATION.Ald.Laporte then rose to second the resolution.Speaking in Frenen, he sald: \u201cIt is with pleasure that I have accepted the suggestion that I should second the resolution which has heen moved so eloquently by the Lord Bishop.I have no doubt, Mr.Mayor, that my French-Canadian compatriots will join their laglish fellow- citizens, so that this orge iization shall be able to make such arrangements as will assure to the Canadian troops all needed comforts, and that the pecuniary means will be provided.As you see, gentlemen, not only can you rely ypon the French-Canadian laity, but you cun also rely upon the clergy.It gives me great pleasure to see that, after the resolution being moved by the Lord Bishop, a gentleman of the highest distinction, who enjoys the respect of the population of Montreal, irrespective of race or crecd, it gives me pleasure, I say.to see that Monsignor Ra- cicot has sent a message to the same effect, a circumstance which corroborates all that Bishop Bond says.Consequently, you can rely.gentlemen, not only that our English fellow citizens will support the movement, but also that the French-Canadians will act hand in hand in the movement.There is only one way, and that 1s to work together in collecting funds, and I hope a consider- ahle sum will be realized.We must provid» all the comforts possible.and if some of our people sacrifice thelr interests and risk their lives for the Mother Country, we must do what we can to reward them.Ald.Laporte was followed by the Rev.Dr.Barclay, who said: Mr.Mayor and gentlemen, Ît is needless for me to add much to what has heen already said; but when the Bishop of Montreal.than whom there is no more peace- loving citizen in this community, declares for war.it wonld 111 become some of us to stand back.We can do little.it is true.hevond speaking.although, T think.if possible we conld get over the exacting re- auirements with regard to age and measure ment.some of us might still he fonnd volunteering for the campaign.(Laughter and cheers.) Had Pritain been entering upon a war, the causes of which were deemed to be uninst and wrong.we might have felt conscientiously constrained to stand aloof, and even then it wonld have gone against the grain: but, believing that Pri- tain is enterine upon a war of righteousness and justice, and that with extreme reluctance\u2014for if an error was committed.the error was one of too patient for- hearance.giving too great an advantage 10 a settled enemy.an enemv of elvilization.in enemv of politieal liberty anda religions fraadom.(Tear, hear.) We are here to-day to tell the men who are volunteering for Africa that they do not go simply as volunteers on their own account.but that they go to represent a united Dominion; that they carry with them the warmest sympathies and earnest prayers of all classes, and\u2014I am glad to be able to sav\u2014all races.(Cheers.) Christianity knows no gospel of selfishness, and neither does lovalty, and if it is said.as unfortunately it has been said, that, because, farsnoth, our interests are not immediately affected.we can afford to stand aside and look on, I think that such a sentiment finde an echo in very few hearts indeed.(Cheers) We helieve that Rritain could possibly do without our soldiers.PRINCIPALLY MORAL SUPPORT.It is not the material support that is looked for so much; it is the moral suport.We know what we owe to Great Britain.We know what we would expect if our interests were in danger.We would expect the arm of Great Britain on our back, and now, when Britain's interests are threatened, are we to stand aside?No; we want to say to Britain and to the world, that Canada is a living part of the Empire, and that whenever the occasion arises Britain can call upon her sons here and meet with as ready a response as in any other portion of the Empire.Those who go to South Africa shall go with as easy a heart as possible, knowing that those whom they leave behind them, and are dependent upon them, will be cared for with the kindliest care.REV.J.EDGAR HILL.7 The Rev.J.Edgar Hill then said: \u201cYour Worship and gentlemen, very few words are indecd needed to commend this resolution.Thome men of the contingent are going in our name, they are to stand in our place, and as our representatives.Surely we should make their burdens easy.Canada could not do without sending her contingent, and I am sure that al lour people, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, would realize better and better the unity of the Empire, their re- and Dr.Lachapelte rovincial Board of amid loud sponsibility, and the honor that comes from its discharge, as it will be so faithfully discharged.DEAN CARMICHAEL.Dean Carmichael\u2014Whateser differences o.opinion there may have existed in the minds of some in the past with regard tg his most unhappy war\u2014for every war |s to my mind unhappy\u2014there is no question that the time for difference is past and gone, and the time for action has unques- rionably arrived.It is unquestionable that.whatever may have led to this war, the war is entered on with the united heart of the great British narlon.and it is equally plain, from our action in Cauada, what the united heart of Canada feels.It would be wholly out of place for me or for any one-to urge on a body such as this the ac- = x It's just what ladies need\u2014to give them strength\u2014oreate a hearty appetite \u2014 bring sound sleep \u2014 and make their complexions fresh and clear.MONTREAL EXPORT, brewed in an artesian well, Hug feet deep, and bottled by the MONTREAL BREWING CO., ST FURS!

He suffered for six years\u2014six long years of backache and misery\u2014and he need not have suffered a month, nor a week if he had taken Dodd's Kidney Pills in time.Dodd's Kidney Pills will eure Lumbago in its most chronic state.But few are se sceptical nowadays as to let Lumbago or Any -other form of Kidney Disease rend them for six years before resorting to Dodd's Kidney Pills.Dodd's Kidrey Pills have the conclusively-established reputation in Hamilton of curing nof only Lumba- £0, but Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Bladder and Urinary Complaints, Dropsy, Female Troubles and Blcod Disorders.Mr.Bawden was one of the many who came to the right medicine in the end.It took him six vears.By reading this account of bis experience, others may be saved six years of time, misery.and expense.This is what Mr.Bawden says: \u201cFor six years I suffered with Lumbago and Kidney Disease.I tried everything under the sun, hut absolutely nothing I ever took gave me the slightest relief.A friend advised me about one year ago to try your Pedd's Kidney Fills, I finally decided to do so and purchased one box and found relief.I used in all five boxes and am com- Dletely

the characteristic comment of the Army and Nay Journal of New York upon the situation in South Africa: : \u201cWhatever may be the ultimate result upon the humanities of the great modern movement that

Ontario Company, whose boats touched at both American and Canadian ports as they carried the writer and his family 1,200 miles upon the bosom of two majestic rivers, writes Rev.Frederick Campbell, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, in the Brooklyn Daily Bagle.But by far the larger portion of this glorious trip was within the Queen's dominions, and, therefore, constituted for- .eign travel.To many who have only crossed that narrow penirsula of the Province of Ontario lying between New York State and Michigan, Canada is uninteresting.Others confess sométhing of beauty in the run down the rapids of the St.Lawrence.But he has not seen \u2018 :me of the grandest scenery on the entire Continent who has not sailed down the Lower St.Lawrence and up the Saguenay; and he has not begun to witness the wonders of the St.Lawrence who Las cut his trip short at Montreal or Quebec.It would have been possible to begin this trip at Niagara Falls, and so come on via Toronto through Lake Ontario.But we are so situated that we boarded the steamboat at Clayton, one of the great gateways to the Thousand Islands.It was early morning, and few of the passengers had yet had breakfast, but as the boat came to the wharf they were crowding the deck, taking in great breaths of morning air and eagerly looking out for thg first of the charming scenery of the Thousand Islands.We were soon en rapport with our fellow voyagers, and still more en rapport with the scenery, as, choosing our course, we swept down the mighty tide bearing the waters of the five great lakes to their ocean destination, and, through the crystal air of a perfect morning, gazed with admiration, first on the great notels of the mainland, and next on the constant moving panorama of island after island, of various sizes, rough and rocky, turied and wooded, crowned with summer cottage and palatial mansion, peopled with happy families and large companies moving about in the morning splendor or standing to wave a passing salute.In all my travels I had seen nothing so perfectly approaching one\u2019s ideal of fairyland.DOWN THE RAPIDS.The two Canadian ports of Brockville and Prescott Laviug been briedy

Chinese servants is one which interests a very large number of people.Many housekeepers who have resolutely refused to employ any but women cooks and housemaids have, this autumn, cast aslde their prejudices, installed the man of the slanting eyes in their kitcheus and enjoyed a peace of mind which has not come thelr way for years.Of course there are women who will tell you they would not employ a heathen to do civilized work, and they will explain to you that John has his own unclean ways of sprinkling clothes and icing layer cakes.They will relate, too, the story of the cook who charmed his mistress with fricassees and croquettes and all manner of braised tidbits\u2014in the \u2018house from which he came the rats which bad previously infested it had disappeared, and the mistress was horrified when John told her \u201cYou have eaten him evely day.\u201d it may be true that in China, the Chinese have ideas of hygiene which do not agree with our notions.Even in Chinese Montreal, there may be deviations from sanitary perfection in their housekeeping, but they are eminently teachable, and In the cases where a Chinese servant is not somewhat of a success, those who know, lay the blame upon the mistress.Students of Chinese character tell us that as a servant a Chinaman \u2018fulfils in the highest degree the ideal of an intelligent human machine.\u201d THI} GREATEST OF COMFORTS.The following letter from a lady who wishes her name to be withheld speaks for itself: \u201cDear Madge Merton,\u2014You can tell your readers that Chinamen are the greatest of comforts.\"They mind their own affairs, an1l You do not come out in the hall, and find them listening at the keyhole.They do your bidding and are respectrul and obliging.We pay twenty dollars to our man, and he does the work of Loth cook and housemaid, and my husband, and two grown sons say he cooks better than any of the tribe which tormented us before he came.\u201d A VERITABLE THEASUREX.A lady of whom I made enquiries regard.fng her Chinese treasure told me she paid him twenty-five dollars a month, that he did the work of cook, housemaid, laundress and furnace-man.\u201cDo you find his Kitchen clean?\u201d I asked, (for nearly ail the house- Keepers I speak to, say they are afraid of his little ways with dish towels and pots and pans), Mrs.Blank declared it was perfectly clean, and always neat, and stated further that her particular John, (who isn't called John by any means or Al Sing either), never lets his work get ahead of him.\u2018He finishes up the day\u2019s work before he goes to his bed,\u201d she said.When queried as to his ability as a cook, Mrs.Blank gave him the highest praise, and further stated: \u201cHe waits on table perfectly, and never needs to be looked after.Ile is 80 quick to see what is wanted.\u201d As to personal neatness, he is always neat, his mistress says, and his bedroom is as carefully kept as any room in the house.There Is no odor in it, and he makes bis bed and puts on his white spread and pillow sham As nicely as in the other rooms.\u2018Do you find him a good housemaid?Does he Sweep and dust well?\u2019 There was a smila of content on the face of the mistress,, as she swept her hand around her drawing- room.\u201cI never know when he ts coming in here,\u201d she said, \u201cbut everything is swept and dusted and set back exactly in its right place.In the bedrooms, little things are sometimes misplaced.\u201d And we both agreed that he would be hardly human if he could arrange a woman's toilet-table exactly as he found It.Altogether Mrs.Blank de- cidedely approved of her Chinaman.She finds him more tractable than two maid- Servants.He does not leave his work to take afternoons and evenings out, and has no crowds of friends who visit him in th2 kitchen.BUSINESS ABILITY, A gentleman whose family employs a Chl nese cook gave an amusing .ccount of his oddities.He has, it seems, a distinct aptitude for business, bearing out the stare- ment made by Colquhoun in his work on China, that \u201cthe Chinese are born travellers and traders.\u201d This particular Chinaman finds time to conduct laundry concerns while he also prepares three meals a day plus, for a large family.His little plan is to open a laundry, get the business running and then sell out his goodwill and start another one.At one time he had leased a shop, which was wanted for other purposes.The landlord paid him to break the lease, and that so delighted the gentleman with the queue that he enquired of his employer if he knew of any more places he could rent and break the lease.\u201cSince he has been with us,\u201d declared the young man, \u201che has Insured his life and bought a bicycle.\u201d And with all the running about which this cook's other business entails, it wus definitely stated that meals were always on time.Questioned as to the cooking, it was declared to be good, but being a man my informant could not enter into the details of the Celestial's kitchen cleanliness.He appeared willing to take things below stairs for granted, and as that ls preciseiy what one must do in hotels, restaurants, and in the houses of their enemies, it may be good policy to open your mouth ana shut your eyes and take what John C.gives you.; LET US KNOW THE WORST.I wish someone who has had a thoroughly incompetent, generally no-good China- man would write and tell us about him.This is one of the places to break that old rule, \u201cIf you can say no good of people, say nothing.\u201d We want to know the worst, and we would enjoy it so much better, if it came to us through some one else's experience, instead of being derived from our own unhappy ones.00090069000000000000¢ | J THREADS AND THRUMS.3 » ++ ++.0-00.ECHOES.A faint

the vegetarians appeal very forcibly to many of us\u2014between meals.We Ifsten to them, let our heads droop to one side, squint up our eyes, and say, what is perfectly true, that we believe meat-eating is an abominable practice.Then we go home and dine off rare roast beef, that is, unless the horrors of the meat-eaters\u2019 or blood-lappers\u2019 doom has not been too realistically set before us.If It has, soup will probably be all we can manage in the way of animal nourishment, and the rest of the dinner will be such ag would not cause a single ripple on the calm conscience of the most devout believer in vegetarianism.Tle objection with most people is: \u2018\u2018What shall we eat In place of meat?\u2019 Others say, \u201cWhat do you do when you go out\u2014one dislikes being peculiar?\u2019 With many, \u201cCan you keep well?\u2019 is the question, and others, \u201cDon\u2019t you feel a craving for meat?\u2019 Many of us are vegetarians In theory, as we are a good many other \u201cists\u201d and \u201cans,\u201d and perhaps all The difficulties come from the habit of taking our mental meals as some of us do the offier ones\u2014in half- chewed mouthfuls.We read something we do not understand, and because there is so Much to be done, or because we are tired or hurried, we say, \u201cOh, yes, certainly,\u201d without stopping to think, and that Is an end of it all, The vegetarians have many difficulties.They have the customs of many countries and many ages to combat.They are Comparatively few in number, and to make Converts they must interfere with appe- lites which have a very strong hold on the majority of people.There are many Who would cheerfully subscribe a ten dollar bill to any supposedly worthy object, but would seriously object to having sweetbreads and bacon and rare roast beef cut off their bill of fare.It is easier far to get at the pockets of some people than to influence them to eat less food or food which they do not believe would be as acceptable to their palates as the kind they now use.A pamphlet by Walter R.Hadwen, M.D., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., states the arguments of the vegetarian very plainly and very strongly.\u201cBeware of Prejudice,\u201d is one war-cry.\u201cDig not your graves with your teeth,\u201d is another.\u2018Food reformers,\u201d says Dr.Haawen, \u2018can show, against all opposition, that their arguments are scientifically sound and their conclusions safe.Chemistry informs them that in their ultimate elemental composition there is no ascertainable difference between the products of the animal and those of the vegetable kingdom, whilst in relative quantity the vegetable can supply them weight for weight with a larger proportion of corresponding nutriment than the animal kingdom; and seeing that the animal kingdom can supply them with but little carbohydrate material, and that the vegetable kingdom abounds in albumli- noids, chemistry has definitely settled the question that every essential requisite for the highest physical and mental development can be procured without resort to the destruction of animal life.\u201cI must say a word In pralse of tle splendid work and long years of experiment done by my friend, Dr.Alexander Haig, F.R.C.P., showing conclusively the injury caused by eating flesh, due to taking a large quantity of uric acid into the system, which, being insoluble in the blood, settles In the joints and tissues of the body, producing illness, headache, rheumatic affections, gout, etc.These facts ought to be pressed upon the attention noi only of the educated classes, but they should also be made clear to the working classes.Indigestion is largely caused by living upon flesh.\u201d \u201cDyspepsia is practteally confined to the meat-eating class.\u201d \u2018\u2019The one great principle we have to impress upon people is this : That no matter what we eat, there are five things we must get-nitrogenous matter, carbo-hydrates, fats, mineral salts and water.\u201d Dr.Hadwen quotes from Dr.Andrew Wilson : \u201cThe vegetarian Is auite as bad as the meat-eater, because tley both took life, The latter took away the life of a sheep, the former that of a cabbage.\u201d Cooking has a great deal to do with thfs question.Girls are brought up knowing nothing about cooking.Men measure vegetarianism by miserable half-done potatoes and cabbage, and they wonder how people can live upon that.The vegetarian does not mean a man who lives upon vegetables: the word vegeo, from which the name 1s derived, simply means\u2014to thrive; the vegetarian Is the man who llves upon the best diet suitable for lis existence.It signifies vigor, not vegetables.The craving for flesh Is a perverted taste which is apparently a relic of the savage orgies of the past, when the peaceful tillage of the groynd was rejected for bar- bark feuds.It has been said that the Whole medica) profession is against us.The cry now rals- ed is : \u201cThe unanimity of the medical profession.\u201d We need not take any notice o: that; unanimity is not necessarily truth, There was a time wnen the whole medical profession were \u2018\u2018unanimous\u2019\u2019 in bleeding their patients.All that has been altered.\u201cWhere the sun does not enter the doctor does,\u201d is an old, old proverb, but it holds its own truth yet.We have all seen those puny pieces of wretchedness which pass for children, and who grow up I darkened homes.Either the sun will in jure mamma's complexion or fade mam ma\u2019s curtains, so it must be kept out\u2014kept out with all its blessing of cheerfulness and health, and tne ciuidréen are aoseu with fonics to strengtnen them though they wear veils on their faces to keer away tan and freckles while they are out.Down in our hearts we women all love home, home-making and house-keeping.V*e chafe at the burdens sometimes.We cry ouf that it is a dreary round of trifling duties.We are hurt often because the men who have loved their way into our lives, do not comprchend the difficulties, make allowance for the shortcomings or see the little self-sacrifices.But we feel this way only when we are dispirited.When our mental barometer shows fair weather, we laugh to ourselves and say over softly that old, old story about the rose that grows on a thorny bush and flings its perfume and flaunts its gay petals just above the sharp little spikes.I don\u2019t think homes would be half so nice, if they grew ready-made in the shops.They don't you know.You can buy ali the furnishings, and set them in place, but you must burn something Dbeside coal and wood On the hearth.You must lay hearts there.With true love and self-sac- ritice you can make such a home as money could never buy.It will be a true home\u2014 out of reach of the world, with the shadow of the eternal over all.Who could believe, after seeing Calve, that she had been, to put it mildly, threatened with embonpoint?And the artiste is as delighted with her nicely-proportioned figure as is the public.She looks young, very young as Marguerite, with her girl- Ish braids and simpw~ gowns.In Ophelia, I think it is, Calve admits herself that she looks about sixteen.Her Majesty's was crowded on Thanksgiving night, and the irate man who takes his pomposity and importance seriously had not forgotten to come.He had to be there to abuse the ushers.What spectacles men do make standing in the \u2018aisles grumbling and growling and swearing (not always softly and under their breaths), and directing al.their spite- at men who are doing their best with crowds of stupid people, ana who dare not reply with equal impudence.They glare at the unhappy, flustered men with eyes which Plancon ought to have had the monopoly of, for they belonged to the fiend's expression.That there should have been crowds on crowds delights Mont- realers as well as the Grau people.When the scuts are empty at good performances the whole audience feels apologetic.It could pat itself on the shoulders Thursday night, for the crowd was overwhelmingly good.Calve\u2019s sweet, pure notes were ideal, Marguerites may come and go, but most of us, I think, will measure all comers by that superb bit of acting and singing which the prima donna gave us.There have been dull, stupid, heavy Marguerites, Marguerites strong physically, but seldem, pez- haps never, the sweet, girlish strength, the coquetry and almost purity of the Marguerite which Mme.Emma Calve set before us.Her eyes, now downcast, now mis- chief-rolled, emphasize what their owner admits that she is \u2018\u2018a bit of a coquette, yon see,\u201d and the\u201cmagic of her voice and the responsiveness of every inch of her body and every atom of her mentality bear out the truth of the great critic who sald, \u201cThere are many singers.There are many actresses.There is one who is both.There is one Emma Calve.\u201d +++.CORRESPONDENCE.GOGO 0000000 000000000000 Miss

bad habits of eating, etc., the deranged dl.gestion finding its relief in alcohol, and this in turn aggravating the conditions, and producing the drink habit.Many cases orl- gir.ate in dietic delusions, in some of these à systematic starvation exists, due to tnd Peculiar notions held in regard to food.The treatment of this form of inebriety consists essentially in the elimination of toxins

kinds of parental love: The weak and the strong.\u2018Weak love expresses itself in indulgences of palate and pleasure; exemptions from duty; and pampering of all kinds.The objects of such love are narrow, selfish, show no love, hardly respect for those who have heaped so many benefits (?) upon them.Strong love looks to the real good of its objects, trains them in the paths of rignt and duty, and withholds those things that endanger their welfare.\u2014\u2014\u2014 | Dewey has succumbed, The story runs thus: \u2014Miss Lois Falmer, the fourteen-year- old daughter of former Secretary of

on Friday.The party boarded the Olympia and introductions to the Admiral followed.Miss Palmer smiled so prettily and attractively when she met the gallant hero that the latter could not refrain from bestowing a kiss upon her.\u201cHow did I get on with my chickens?\u201d she said.\u201cOn, beautifully.When I came Away I had reduced the cost of my eggs to 50 cents apiece.At one time in the summer the cost of production was 75 cents each; that, of course, was a great deal, but even then I was not discouraged, for my neighbor, Mrs.Smith, who also went into chickens, said hers were costing 90 cents each, Yes, on the whole, I think I may say I really made quite a success of my chickens.\u201cHow about my vegctubiese=espest that was what night be called an object lesson.I put that down as a premium paid to experience.I feel that I have obtained the worth of my money in one way at any rate, for T have setttlel the question forever alout raising vegetables in the summer, My husband has always insisted that as vre keep only one horse and a man, ,we ought to raise vegetables, but he has given in at last, I am happy to say.After he had paid the bills he said he had concluded that only rich men can afford a vegetable garden.\u2019 \u201cMy wife,\u201d said a man the other day, \u201chas a mania for changing the furniture around.When I come into the house late at night I don't know

These buckles on the new picture hats, clasping a nodding cluster of plumes, make a very effective finish, and promise to be the most Popular millinery fad of the season.A man was recently arrested for intoxlca- tion, and for masquerading In woman's clothes.He offered In extenuation of his \u201ccrime\u201d that as he could not find work as a man he had donned female attire, and in that disguise had experienced no difii- culty in always finding plenty of work, To be in the swim these days a girl must have a bag, plain or fancy, as her taste selects, cheap or expensive, as her purse permits, but it must be a bag.It is not only sufficient to have a bag, but one must aec- quire the up-to-date swing of carrying this dainty accessory to woman's attire.The chain from which it hangs is longer now than it used to be, and is clutched by the fair wearer in the midddle, so that part of the chain itself dangles alongside the bag, then the hand is allowed to drop to its full length, and the girl strides along in an athletic fashion.The leading question of the day in the world of fashion is this: Are the skirts to rer ain as clinging to the figure as they have been for several months past?And

would-like-to-be- beautiful girl, and with jt a warning that temperance is a virtue in all things.It wag one of these girls\u2014and all normal girls belong to the class\u2014who, finding one day that her hair was beginning to fall out, took upon herself the task of bringing it to a hcalthy condition, where it would know wherr It and she were well off and she could Keep it slill as an adornment.It was uncommonly pretty hair, soft, brown, and wavy, and she did not wish to lose a strand of it.Now, oil is nourishing, particularly to the hair.so she began her treatment with olive oil.Every day or so, when she Lad a little time, she would massage a little oil into her scalp, and the discontentel hairs began to come to a mare amiable frame of mind.But one day the girl had a good bit of time at her disposal, and it oe- curred to her that she could not employ it better than by anointing her tresses tfo- roughly for once.She really enjoyed herself that day, and it was marvellous the amount of oil her hair absorbed.When she had been working for an hour or so she looked in the glass, and laughed to herself at the reifecrion there.There was not a sign of a wavy, and all the hair around her face and peck had sirunken into funny fittle strings, clinging together and showing the white scalp beneath, and she looked like nothing so much as a wet cat.\"Well.I have done a good job

Account of the Girls\u2019 Club and Lunch Room on Bleury Street Superintendedby the Alumnae Society of McGill.One of the trials of the business girl is that she finds difficulty In getting a nlce comfortable, well-cooked luncheon at a reasonable price in town.At the first blush the thing seems impossible.\u2018Nice, comfortable, cooked \u2018luncheon, indeed,\u201d cries the girl who lives some distance off and gets her mid-day meal in town.\u2018I'Q like to know where.There's very little variety, and five cents for this, and five cents for tlrat, and not much to eat, unless you pay more than you want to each day.\u201d I answer promptly and triumphantly, \u2018Where ?At the Girls\u2019 Lunch Room on Bleury Street, and if you can't believe it go yourself and try a practical demonstration.\u201d ®.\u201cAnd what Is the Girls\u2019 Lunch Room?\" enquires this Young Pergon, who has become a pessimist upon the subject of lunching in town, and In cage you arc asking the same question I will answer you both at the same time.Bleury Street Is one of the great arterles of the city.Hundreds of persons each day tramp the pavements and up the hill and à steady human stream flows from morning till night.You pass the same snops day after day.Did you ever realize how unobservant you are of famlilar objects until you tried to think whether such and such a shop Is above or below Dorchester Street, or tried to remember the rames or ptacés you see copstantly.There ls a great dea in eyes and no eyes.Of all the nundreds who pass, how many notice the irl\u2019 Club, or moticing, think anything aout 1t qf make Any ehquiries ?Low down, near Lägauchetiere, on the west side or Bleury Street, two large slop wind#ws call atten- well tion in white letters to the Girls\u2019 Club\u2019 and lunch rogm.In the windows are plints oF boxes, and white curtafhs screen the interior from the eye of the public.\u201cCertainly you may come and see It,\u201d gald Miss H.Y, Reta.\u201cWe'll be very pleased to tell you about our club.Come fn Saturday\u2019 fnorning.I'll be cashier then, and though the conversation may be inter: wittent I will give you some particulars.\u201d T \u201cvent, I saw, and I was conquered.1 opened the door into the pleasant iuncn room last Saturday morning and found Miss Reid sitting at a little table with a businesslike cash box and a tray rull ot small checks marked from one cent up.Each girl as she came in glancea at the menu, fastened at the bulletin board, decided what she wanted, and brought a check for the necessary amount.Armed with this she took her place in the little procession waiting at a wicket opening into the kitchen, gave her order ana her \u2018\u201cvek, which corresponded with the amount .t the order, and recelved a tray of hot, appetizing food, which she carried to one of the tables.When she had finisnea the girl took her tray and handed it into the kitchen through another big wicker, so as not to clash with the first.A nice-looking girl came In to ogy a check.\u201cEight cents, please,\u201d she sald.\u201cWhat can they get for eight cents ?\" I asked Miss Reld.\u201cLook at our menu and the prices,\u201d she 4 grid.smiling.I did so, and give it below, that you may find out for yourself what elght cents would buy and what lass than eight cents would buy.GIRLS\u2019 CLUB AND LUNCH

for the prices given there.I asked Miss Reid to tell me all about the Club, which sh@ kindly did.In 1888 the first little class of girls, thd pioneers of a great movement; graduated from McGill College.\u2018In 1889 the Alumnae Soctety was formed.For two years the members devoted themselves to literary work.After that these | earnest yolilg women began to look about and see if thére was not some practical work which could be taken up to help i other girls a little.There was hardly any line they, could have decided upon mort Useful Than that which they have worked it now for several years.The girls went about collecting facts about BThers employ- : ed in tfwn, and decided that a nice lunchroom and «club would be a-great help.They Oct.14th.De cee save esesas ese ase sven Ge 3a 2e ze ene esssee AC cass .\u2026.: at once set to work upon their scheme, and began in a small cottage on Jurür Street.In 1804 the lunch-room was opened, and in 1895 the Society first took the \u2018dwelling.They now have two shops and \u2018the dwelllng over the shops.The lower {part has the nice lunch-room, big kitchen and a prettÿ sitting and reading-room.Up- bitaics the rooms are rented to eight or ten \u2018girls, besides the housekeeper and ser -vants.Miss McLeod, the housekeeper, has been connectéd with the establishment for several years, and to her economy ana \u2018good \u2018management the Club owes much ot \u2018Îts success.Some of the girls living In \u201cthe House have been in it several years, \u2018and not only live very reasonably, but are most comfortable and within easy reach ot fown.There was à break in the conversation while I went to get change of a bill from p friendly Chinaman who keeps a store Tull of lovely Chinese articles of all kinds, It was a bit of the Orient dropped down In dull old Bleury Street.A strange, heavy odor, associated in one\u2019s mind with East: èrn things, filed the nostrils.A FAT, YELLOW-FACED CHINESH GENTLEMAN, with a pigtail and blue blouse eyed me gravely, as did another Oriental who hand.td the bill and me over to the tender mercies of a boy of fourteen, a small edition of the fat gentleman, who spoke English, As I sped back with the change I wondered how many more interesting things 1 would discover in that one day.Miss Reid told me that there Is a committee for the evening classes, a King's Daughters circle, and that every month there is a soclal A reception committee où the Alumnae Society members arrange for the entertainment of the evening, and decides who will sing or play or recite, as the case may be.Games are played ang the girls bring friends, not only other girls, but young men, too.At Christmas time thefe is always a tree, \u201cand I believe,~wald Miss Reld, \u201cthat as far,off as Point St, Charles the children Wadi ol Nhat treet Thewnumber is-sup- PAU posed to be limiteä to 100, but children Are not turned away, and many more than one hundred come for the jollification.The Ghlidren put their names down, and a committee is appointed to take these names and addresses and investigate.If the poor little things wii have no other Christmas festivitles, they are eligible for these of the Girls\u2019 Club.The children begin to arrive early ou Christmas afternoon, and the entertainment begins in good season.There is a magic lantern and a tree, and every child is given a substantial mea, and a bundle of good, warm clothing, not to mention incidental oranges and candy.And the fun grows fast and furious ti®) it {s time to bundle them all home tired anu happy.THE CLUB IS ENTIRELY SBLF-SUP- PORTING.There 1s no idea of making money, and no one asks for subwcriptions or belp.The fees are fifty cents a year for the girls, lumnae fees $1, assoclate members pay $1 with privilege of attending meetings anc | promising te give two terms of service in the lunch-room during the year of three months at a time, and honorary members Interested in the work pay $5 a year, a number of girls go every day from say eleven till two to help with the lunches, For instance, for this month a girl goes every Friday, then drops out three months and goes every Monday for the next time.Some idea of the busy life at the Cluj may be gathered from these figures The average number present for dally mid-day PHRSIAN LAMB OOAT WITH BLUR FOX COLLAR.dinner Is 130, and from 30 to 50 for breakfast and tea.During the month of Augusi 3,711 meals were served, and in September 3.075, which latter number represented the sum of $323.13 taken in.A house visitor, accompanied by a different officer on each occasion, visits the club four times a month and goes all tlirough the establishment, And now a word about the appearance of the club rooms.1 looked into the kitchen, which was a busy place with huge range, a gift, by the way, and tempting supplies of food being served up by busy attendants.The lunch room is furnished with small tables and chairs, and the windows have neat muslin curtains.The walls are done in soft tints, and have buft burlap finish, which is easy to clean.There are some pictures, which, with the chandeliers, are presents from friends.The sitting and reading-room is exceedingly pretty.The floor is stained, and the walls make an artistic background for the Madonnas and other good subjects in neat oak frames, A piano is noticed, and a sofa with pretty light cover.Desks and magazines are on tables, and a great old-fashion.ed case holds more books.One of the Alumnae acts as librarian, and gives out the volumes.Some girls were reading ana some were discussing the subject of gowns.It seemed as df it would be difficult to find a pleasanter resting-place for the sole of one's foot In the noon hour than this bright, dainty room.THE ALUMNAB SOCIETY.The.officers .of the Alumnae Soclety this year are Miss Hunt, president; Miss Brown and Miss Campbell, vice-presidents; Miss Tatley, treasurer; corresponding secretaries, Misses Angus and Kerr; and recording secretary, Miss Hall.Committee of management for the lunch room, Miss Couper, Miss H.Y.Reid and Mlss Derick.The soclety accomplishes much.This year they are taking up in their literary work \u201cPresent Day Critics.\u201d Absent mem: bers are not forgotten.No.matter wheie they are the society keeps in touch with them by sending the reports of meetings and exchanging papers, essays, ete.In January the Alumnae entertain the girl students, or the graduates entertain the undergraduates, giving them some idea of thelr aims and the end they have in view, and the link that binds graduate and timid little freshman together.An entertainment is always given at McGill to which the professors\u2019 wives are invited, and there are debates and discussions and other interesting features.Can anyone read the foregoing and hot feel that these college women are not only doing good useful work, but doing it on a practical basis.Those who are inclined to laugh at blue stockings must acknowledge that the learningFacquired at college sensibly applied, greatly Increases one's opportunities for usefulness.These young women are examples of the culture which aims \u2018\u2018to broaden the basis of life and la- telligence'\u201d and \u2018to diffusse sweetness anid Hght.\u201d The Girls\u2019 Club represents something more than a comfortable lunch room and meeting place.If you look at the inner meaning of things you will ind that it 1s built upon unselfish thoughts, undaunted pereseverance, self-sacrifice and a feeling of loyal comradeship for other women.Truly a noble foundation, and the bullders appear to live up to the stern words of Tennyson's Princess, \u201cBetter not be at all than pot be: noble.\u2019 te ABOUT PRARLS.The Pamous Necklace of the Empress Bugente Which Was Valued at Æ80,000\u2014 Also That of the Duchess of Marlborough.Those who Delleve in the superstition that pearls are significant of tears may, perchance, have their

wore a superb necklace of pearls on her wedding day.The satin of her gown was made to exactly match the tone of the neckiace.When the war of 1870-71 was over the necklace was sold, with many other of the crown jewels.The pearls were scattered, for no bidder would offer the £80,000, the price of the eight rows.The famous set of pearls owned by the late King of Hanover and valued at pearly $500,000, were formerly the property of Queen Victoria, and were surrendered by her because of the opinions of high legal authorities that the jewels were property of Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, Lady Londonderry has a magnificent collection of pearls, and seldom wears other Jewels.A necklace of black pearls is owned by Lady Ilchester.which is valued at $150,000, The costliest string of pearls is owred By Consuelo, Duchess of Marlborough.They were once among the crown jewels of France, and were purchased by W.XK.Vanderbilt for his wife.They were one of the mother's wedding gifts to the Duchess of Marlborough, They are very large and separated by wheels of diamonds, making a rope long enough to hang from the throat to the waist line, rm Why Is it we always feel so mad at anyone who writes to

welght ten kilos.That means in English about twenty-five pounds, I believe.I have been almost one entire year performing the feat, because a gradual reduction is much more scientific, more hygienic and more lasting than spasmodic attempts.I have taken no medicines or drugs, but have followed a strict regimen.It is all told in three words\u2014Diet and exercise.My diet has consisted of underdone beef and mutton, fruits and green vegetables\u2014 no sweets, no cereals, no starchy foods of any description.My only exercise\u2014walking, I have taken no gymnastics, no physical culture.Walking is tlie best exercise in the world, I believe; and diet and exercise, I am convinced, compose tlie only rational treatment for superfluous flesh.\u201cA year ago I was frightfuily ill, I had trouble in breathing; my heart fluttered and palpitated so from the least exertion that I could not walk, I could do nothing that gave me the least acceleration of the pulse without feeling that 1 was choking.\u201cMy doctor examined me carefully and then he said to me, \u2018Your entire trouble comes from too much fat.You have all the symptoms of fatty degeneration of the heart, and uñless you at

assured me I should never sing again unless I obeyed his instructions.I was terribly frightened\u2014to dle! Ah, no, and to die of too much fat\u2014that was too stupid} I am not stupid, am I, now?\u201d \u201cMy treatment consisted of walking miles for amusement and of being starved for diversion.Exercise and diet.That is all there is to tell.\u201cAt first I dM] as most women attempt to.I began to live too rigidly up to the system.I love sweets, fruits with sugar, creams, cereals, salads and the like, and 1 don\u2019t care at all for meat.But I started in to obey my doctor and gave up all the things I love and tried to eat the food I do not like, and the result was that 1 got so weak and faint and haggard that 1 almost died of inanition.\u201cThen my gcod doctor commanded me to be reasonable, and I obeyed this time with a little more c&mmon sense.I ceased to starve myself, and I did not return to sweefs or starchy food.\u2018So you see me now, well and happy and twenty-five pounds lighter.I have decreased my weight so gradually that I have become habituated to the regimen and no longer crave the fat-forming foods I used to like so much.\u2018\u201c I bave the satisfaction of knowing that the treatment for the reduction of fat has been of benefit to my voice.My respiration is wonderfully improved and I sing better than I ever did before.\u201d ea A WELL-DRESSED WOMAN.Means to be What Mrs.Kendal Thinks\u2014 Miss Nethersole\u2019s Parisian Toilette \u2014 The Princess of Wales' Bonnets\u2014 What it Well-Dressed.What constitutes \u2018\u2018the well-dressed woman\u201d of to-day\u2014one who is gowned with scrupulously exact regard to fashion, or the one who flings fashion to the winds and dresses to suit herself?If à pretty woman, msid or matrop, Is becoming but unfashionably gowned is she well dressed?Per contra, if she wishes to represent the latest mode, but It is unbecoming to her, what shall she do?There are handsome women who would rather be fashionably ugly than unfashionably handsome.And there are leaders of society, on the other hand, who laugh at costume plates, who dress to suit their own tasteful fancy, and somehow impress people as being thoroughly \u2018up to date.\u201d Mrs.Kendal says on the subject of dress: \u201cBeau Brummel is supposed to have made the remark, lady or a gentleman Is to dress so that he can appear in the street without being observed\u2019; and among the really high bred aristocracy of England to-day (I allude to that part of the English aristocracy whose name is known only In Burke or Debrett) the same quiet style in dress is observed.\u201cOne of the most beautiful women of today is never seen but in black, white or grey.A great wit sald, after kissing her hand: \u2018Again, dear Viscountess, in your beautiful robe of white! White is emble- matical of purity and great wisdom.\u201d In white we are dressed immediately we come Into the world; in white we are dressed at our wedding, and, above all, at our death, for in white we are sent to meet our God.Simplicity Is the greatest art of all, the finest of attributes.\u2019 \u201cThis gown,\u201d said Miss Nethersole, \u201cIs of the very latest Paris fashion.The un- derdress is of fine black chiffon, soft and clinging, profusely trimmed with dark Russian sable.Except where it fastens, the overdress is woven in one piece, thereby moulding the figure In serpentlike grace.It Is richly embroidered with steel sequins, \u201cThe buttons, of turquoise and brilliants, are set in solid silver, as is \u2018also the massive clasp, of the same stones, which holds the overdress at the waist.Such a costume as this could most appropriately be worn at a private dinner party or to a theatre.D \u201cDarwin's idea of women.was entirely taken from their dress.\u2018Physiclan, heal thyself,\u2019 applied to to-day, means, \u2018Wo- | man, know what suits you best and makes you look most feminine and sweet.\u2019 If a long, straight, plain skirt shows off your figure best, keep it, no matter how the fashions change.If your head is well shaped, wear a bonnet that fits it tightly.Don't allow fashion to make you alter it.Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales never alters the style or shape of her bonnet.She is too wise.But she has a beautifully shaped head, so she can afford to keep the same.\u201d But at the same time any other woman who tried to wear the same shaped bon- \u2018The first qualification of a! net for a genemation, would be called \u201cdowdy.\u201d There's something In being a princess if you want to be strong-minded with Dame Fashion.\u201cAll \u2018over-dressing\u2019 ls a mistake.Some man said on seeing a pretty woman: \u2018Yes, she Is pretty, but all the goods are in the shop window; there is nothing behind.The goods in the shop window may attract the lover, but it requires something else to keep a husband.\u2019 \u201cThat 1s one of the reasons divorce is so popular.Extravagance in dress has entirely upset our artistic philosophy and happiness.Servants are becoming things of the past, and simply and entirely tnrougn dress.It is their one object, their one thought.It spoils the capking in the kitchen and it ruins the waiting In the dining room.\u201d \u2014\u2014_ L cations.blamed | = 1 - \u2014 LÀ - Drees does not always make the woman.But it unmakes her, readily enough, if it is lacking in harmony of eolor to her figure and temperament, is Inappropriate to her personal style or Inappropriate to the occa- slon.Selecting a correct and becoming costume is only balf the battle; when and how to wear it ls the greater question of fashionable success or failure.One of the best dressed women in New York, who is considered a model of artistic effect, of refined taste, of appropriate costume under all conditions, being asked what is the governing rule of the \u201cwell-dressed woman,\u2019\u201d\u2019 sald: \u201cNever be in the height of fashlon; avoid extremes of style and color, and consider yourself first, and the fashion of the moment afterward.\u201d \u201cA woman phould never wear a thing, no matter how stylish or lovely it may be in itself, If it is not becoming.The women who have reputations for being well dressed have invariably learned It through being always becomingly dressed.\u201cParisians say that rich foreigners overdress frightfully.A really well-dressed woman, be she French, English or American, wears clothes that are unsensational.Appropriateness is as essential as becoming- ness.ER \u201cThis was illustrated the other day at the yacht races in New York.Some women make soclal cartoons of themselves.A woman wore a black lace gown with spangles, a large black hat with ostrich feathers, a white veil with small black spots, white gloves and very high-heeled shoes, which nearly caused her a twisted ankle when the boat lurched.\u201cThe spangles and the black dots on the vell became moist in the sea dampness and spotted the white gloves and her nose.The feathers came out of curl, and she shivered in her lace frock and light shoul der wrap, finally becoming quite limp and ridiculous, unhappy In her envy of the other women, who were comfortable and appropriate in smart, quiet skirts and coats of tweed or cloth, with gay little blouses and pretty, becoming toques or close felt hats with simple, crisp trimmings.\u201d HAT PROPHECIES FROM PARIS.Some of the queerest hats are being imported.Among a number of eccentricities is one that shows hardly an excuse of a rim.The crown Is exaggeratedly high, very small around and flat on the top.It Is made of alternating circles of tan and brown felt, trimmed at the base with a wreath of reddish autumn leaves, At the back is a how of black velvet ribbon, from which two velvet streamers are brought down and tied under the chin.\u2018White felt is promised great favor.It 1s too ungrateful a stuff to recommend to women who live in grimy cities.Yet a word must be said in favor of its flattering illusion.The white reflecting softly downward on the face robs it of tiny wrinkles and has a happy rascal way of stealing a few undesirable years from the sum total of one\u2019s age, Here is a secret well worth knowing.If you wish that the wheel of time would seem to go backward for a few seasons try a white felt facing In your hat.Solid white felt hats are trimined all in white, with white paradise tails usually, and elaborate with lace scarfs.Large hats with waving plumes are to be worn in an entirely new manner.It is a cunning conceit that started, you may Imagine, in Paris.The rim is wide and soft, drooping slightly In front.The novel feature con- gists in the mode of fastening.It is pulled straight down behind and two fancy hatpins catch if to the hair just above the neck.The lines adapt themselves wonderfully to a prefty profile.Toques are to be in vogue again this winter.They will be rather large and worn well forward on fhe head.For tailor-made gowns a good plan Is to have the toque made of whatever material the gown is in, with perhaps a few folds of velvet and a quill that starts in front and curves nearly the whole way around the hat.A CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOL You Should Learn How to Write Interesting Letters.A Woman Finds a New Field of Work in Teaching the Art of Letter Writing.Those who have been biased by seeing any cf those big volumes called model letter writers, filled with stilted and entirely unnatural epistles, would be inclined to doubt that there could be anything worth while in such a thing as a Correspondence School of Letter Writing, of which a little Jady, who has been in New York recently, Is schoolmarm.They would be astonished to learn that such a school would have patronage enough to entitle it to the name of school, and they would cegtainly not believe in it.There is, however, such a school, and, while it is a unique Institution, it Is doing comprehensive and good work, The head of the school is a clever and cultured little lady, Miss Frances Callaway, who lives in the upper part of the State.The idea came to her in a somewhat roundabout way.She was in Boston when the first step was made.She was about to write an article upon letter writing, and went to the Public Library to look up data, when much to her surprise she found there were none.: \u2018Well,\u2019 she said to herself, \u201cthere seems to be nothing in print about letter writing, and I think I had better go home and write something,\u201d which she did forthwith.\u2018The publisher to whom she took her manuscript wanted some model letters written for it.But there could not be model letters put in, for that was where the great secret and beauty of letter writing lay, the new fledged author believed\u2014and that was what she bad written a book to express\u2014that a good letter could not be lilse a letter that any one else had ever written or would write, for to be a good letter it must, above all things, express the individuality of the writer and be characteristic, though it should show always, if possible, the writer at his best.That was the beginning of the school, for from her book Miss Callaway went to teaching.She taught in a young ladies\u2019 school for a time, then started a school in Chautauqua, of which her associate, Miss Hubbell, now has charge, while Miss Cau- laway devotes her energies to correspondence classes when she is pot writing a book upon the art of teaching letter writing.One reason why people WRITE SUCH BAD LETTERS, she says, is because no one ever criticizes them.Friends never do that.Answering .a letter, a woman will write: \u2018\u201cT have just received your lovely letter.\u201d In some cases that may be true, but more often she would say correctly: \u201cI have just received your long, rambling letter, and was bored to death by it.\u201d A rambling letter shows weakness of character, Miss Callaway says, and that is one of the first things she tries to correct.A course in letter writing consists of ten lessons, and it is the beginning of a development which may go on indefinitely.The greater number of people wha have taken lessons in letter writing have not been f{i- literate, but of more or less culture, who know the value of a well-written letter.Truth, naturalness and simplicity are the three points that are emphasized to would- be letter writers.Then an effort 1s made to make them conscious, but not self-con- scious, to notice with care the every-day things around them, to cultivate the power of close observation and the ability to describe every-day happenings with clearness and brevity.The first thing asked of a new pupll is the reason he or she wishes fo take up the study.That gives an idea of the general needs of the individual, and is a necessary introduction.Then follows a regular course of studies, exercises are sent in with a let- > CE rind pl pré ran ee D = PLHP BELA DES 2 2 ZF == LN

observing and taking clear Impressions which can be outlined in a few words, but they are nof put In the form of a letter.Studying letter writing is quite different from learning to write composi: tions.The observation work Is only a part of the general education.The letter that is expected from the pupil, the study letter, is never one written as an example letter for the teacher\u2014txat would be merely a composition.It must be the copy of a real letter to a friend, so that it may have the element of nat- vralness.GUSHING IS ONE OF THE PRACTICES that an effort is made to overcome, There was one very nice young girl who undertook to learn to write a proper letter who was one of these gushers.She could manage to cover more paper and make use of more words without saving anything than most people possibly coald.But she was a nice girl, and she was will- Ing to learn, and before long she could write a pleasant little letter, in which she was at once sensible, amiable, and concise.The teacher was delighted, but about that time the girl was sent to a university, and she wrote to her teacher in letter writing soon after to tell her of her work.\u201cI have just been told to write a letter from Maggie Tulliver to Tom in 500 words,\u201d\u2019 she said.Of course she could do it only too easily,\u201d groaned the teacher, who takes a personal interest in her pupils.\u201cThat was her weakness and all my work is undone.\u201d There was another young woman who commenced to take lessons, but her first lesson was her last.Alas! a teacher must be frank.The new pupil wrote her teacher a letter of some four pages with and explicit account of the condit her Hver and troubles incident to | the closing paragraph she mentione out detail the condition of the

Ordinary Folk But Not Heroes\u2014They Have no Servant Question, Mexico, so near in miles, Is yet far removed in ways and customs from her northern neighbors, When your hostess receives you she will

SOLDIERS\u2019 WIVES LEAGUE ORGANIZED Formed by the Wives of pathy in Peace and Officers for Help and Sym.War\u2014Mrs.Hutton Elected President.Yesterday afternoon a meeting was held at half-past three, in the Windsor Hotel, to wives League.A number of officers were present, with their wives, as well as others Interesled In the movement.Among the number were Mrs.Hutton, Miss Granville, Mrs.George wagplngion sie- phens, Mrs.Wheeler, Miss Roddick, Mrs.H.B.Yates, Mrs.Frank Bond, Mrs.Gordon, Mrs.lbbotsofl, Mrs.Busteéd, mrs.Butler, Mrs, Minden-Cole, Miss À.Cook, Mme.Thibaudeau, Lt.-Col.and Mrs.Bur- lang, Mrs.Nincl@ir, mfsS Fnolnps, MIS, (\u2018ook, Canon LKilegood, the Kev.nagar Hill, ex-Mayor \u201cWilson-Smith, Mr.Krëu- ard White, Lt.-Col.Cole, Lt.-Col, Butler, Lt.-Col.Busteed, Major Mitchell, Dr, Rod- dick and many others.Mrs.Jiutton prestaed, ana upon nsiag to open the meefing explained something abcut the nature of a Doudiers* wives League.She herself first started one in sydney, N.S5.W., Which provea very successful.It was to have friendly under- stending and intercourse between the women of a regiment in times of peace, and give help, sympathy and kindness in times of trouble.Mrs, Hutton thinks that at the present time, when we are all stirred with that feeling of unity; while the men are offering themselves for actual service, thought should be given to the wives of those left behind and how to help them, Suggestions have been made of books and tobacco for the men, etc.ete.All These offers to give the men comforts are good.The question of what should be sent Is Letter left to the officers who have been In active service.Kacn district naving a Soldiers\u2019 Wives\u2019 League should have the wife of the oiucer commanding at wud head, and an executive committee and general committee.The central branch mignt he at Ottawa, and the organization would be kept up in peace as in war.Dr.Roddick, upon being asked to speak, said he had already talked over the mat.fer with Mrs.Hutton.As vice-presi- dent of the Province of Quebec, and treasurer to the Red Cross Society, Dr.Rod- dick was naturally interested In the question.He felt that \\t was an occasion when we could not allow all personal or other feelings to interfere in the matter.All Canadians in this are united,as one man or one woman in endeavoring to aida to the comfort of the men who have volun: teered to fight the battles of fhe Empire.Pr.Roddick is in favor of insuring the lives of the men about to leave Canada.Dr, Roddick thought Mrs.Hutton\u2019s scheme was one to be considered a ITttle later.Just now we should unife and get subscriptions to give the men comrorts Ior ihe voyage, and probably in the event of their being wounded In the \u2018I'ransvaal, have money to give them when they come | back, and help their families while they are away.Mrs.Hutton sald her idea was not to collect money, hut that the scelety should keep In touch with the women and give help when neeïled.The League was to be a bond of union between soldiers\u2019 wives.Mrs.White read the report of what had been done and decided upon at the meet ing in the morning.Mrs.Minden-Cole thought that the fund should be called upon to help such cases a8 the wives of commanding officers should desire assistance for.Lt.-Col.Butler said the resolution was drawn Tor the purpose of carrying out all objects which might be required by this League or others in connection with the contingent going to the [ransvaai Lt.Col.Butler sama tne country snoua u0 everything possible to show that it was a privilege as well as a duty to look after those left behind.Lt.-Col.Cole spoke of wnat naa peed done in 1385, when the officers\u2019 wives visited fumilies of men who had gone away.Lt.-Col.Wilson-Smith spoke approving very heartily of thie scheme.His opin- lon was that tlie Government should look after the men when they return as well as when they go.Col.Wilson-Smith hoped another contingent would be sent for service if required.Rev.Mr.Martin made a short and very interesting address in French.The following resolutions were then carried unanimously: (1) That an assocla- tion be, and it hereby is, formed, fo be known as the Soldiers\u2019 Wives\u2019 League, tor the purpose of promoting the comfort of the men of the active militla of Canada and their wives and fannites (2) LAZU the officers of the League shall be a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and an executive committee.(3) That a special committee, consisting of five lad@s, - be appointed for the purpose of drafting constitution and by-laws, to be submitted at the next meeting.(4) That the offl- cers of the executive commItitee pe, ar they hereby are, authorized to make such provision as they may deem advisable for the comfort of the members of the contingent proceeding to Soufh Afrfca in defence of the Empire.The following otticers were then elected:\u2014 President\u2014Mrs.Hutton.Vice-President\u2014Mrs.Gordon.Secretary\u2014Mrs.Minden-Coie.Treasurer\u2014Mrs.Busteea.Executive Committee, wives of command- Ing officers\u2014Mrs.Cook, Mrs.Thbotson, Mrs.Labelle, Mrs.Aubrey and Mrs.Whitley.A sm #omumittee to draft constitution consists of Mrs.Gordon, Mrs, Busteed and Mrs.Cole, assisted by Major Mitchell.The next meeting of the general and executive committees will be at Mrs.Gordon's house, 74 Mackay street, on Monday at 3 o'clock.AN ENGLISH PHILANTROPHIST'S VIEW.Sir Walter Besant Makes Some Suggestions for Winter Amusements \u2014 Weekly Dances to be Called Assemblies.We are now close upon the beginning of winter; we have before us six months during wlich there can be no evening amusements out of doors.What do we propose to give the young people who do not stay at home?The theatre, the music hall, the billiard room,the public house, the street.We also offer them the free library and the chance of joining a boys\u2019 or a girls\u2019 club.We must consider the clerks and the shop assistants, the former have the whole evening to themselves; the Iatter, except in certain favored parts, a small part, but still some part.Now, thé evening is the third part of the waking day.How should the young people spend it?Let us put aside tlie foolish idea that after a long day\u2019s work everybody will be willing and anxious to enter upon a tong evening\u2019s work; let us cease to imagine that the great majority of youth have any ambition to Letter their own condition by additional hours of work.Not at all, they mean to get all the enjoyment and amusement that they can cram into the evening.Why, then, cannot we organize for them regular weekly Gances properly conducted by responsible pecple?A dance every

streets; you do not see her flaunting fn brilliant checks when they happen to be in style.When high hats are \u201cin\u201d she does not pile hers so high that it sweeps the cobwebs from the sky.She does not wear the longest train to her tea gown, nor the greatest number of bangles when bangles reign.But because she does not chatter and giggle, and make herself conspicuous at matinees, does not announce her convictions on all occasions and on all subjects, and profess her admiration at every hand's turn, it must not be supposed that she has no ideas or convictions or enthusiasm, says Woman's Life.She is quiet because she has no power to make herself heard, to change her condition, or because she is maturing that power, In the meantime.it is the quiet girl who marries earliest, who makes the best match, who fills the niches which her more bril- Mant sisters leave vacant; who manages the servants, runs the sewing machine, remembers the birthdays, listens to the remin- tscences of the old, and often keeps the wolf from the door.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WOMEN WHO SELECT WEDDING PRESENTS.\u2014 A Queer Method of Earning & Living Selected by a Girl With Excellent

seen a wedding for the first time in their short lives, and were engaged in reproducing the event to the best of their remembrance.Pauline, with preternaturally solemn air, held a last year\u2019s almanac in her hand and figured as the officiatin clergyman, while Polly, with a piece of mosquito netting over her head and a bouquet of bachelor\u2019s buttons in her hand, was the bride.The most impressive part of the ceremony to their minds was the throwing of rice and old shoes after the departing couple, and the insurmountable difficulty of introducing this feature into their reproduction caused them much distress.A bride, Polly complained, couldn\u2019t wed and throw rice at herself, and as Pauline thought it needed a hack or sdme kind of conveyance to make the thing complete, it was at last reluctantly decided to omit this most interesting part of the marriaige.The wedding procession, conspicuous for the trifling oversight in the matter of a bridegroom, was on the point of starting down the barn, where the event was taking place, when a young man drove into the yard, and, hitching his horse, rang the bell to inquire for the twins\u2019 grown-up sister.For a minute the children gazed at each other as the door opened to receive him, then the brilliant thought struck them simultaneously.Off came Polly\u2019s veil and down went Pauline\u2019s book.\u201cThat's Charlie Bingham come to take sister for a ride,\u201d gasped Polly, dancing up and down in delight.\u201cI know it,\u201d said Pauline, excitedly, \u2018and we haven\u2019t a minute to lose.You rur right up to the house and get all the rice you can, and I'll borrow some of the neighbors.\u201d \u201cOh, Mrs.Herrick\u201d she panted, breathlessly, a few minutes later, as she rushed into the lady\u2019s parlor, \u201cwon\u2019t you please let me have some rice?\u201d \u201cWhy, child, what do you want of rice?You are not having a wedding at home, are you?\u201d \u201cYes, ma'am, and please hurry, or it will be too late.\u201d \u201cBut who is it for?\u201d \u201cFor sister pe\u201d shouted Pauline, who was in too much of a hurry to stop for elaborate explanations, and raced back to meet Polly, who had the -5od luck to find a bag of the stuff which the grocer had left on the sitchen table.\u201cWell, haven't they kept that pretty quiet?\u201d inquired Mrs.Herrick of her caller, Mrs.Smith, as she picked up her knitting and both ladies drew their chairs to the window on the side next to the Peters house to watch the course of events more closely.; , \u201cThere goes Parson Hildreth! exclaimed Mrs.Smith, and, sure enough, the reverend gentleman was seen coni- ing down the steps next door, having made a call upon the twins\u2019 father.\u201cI thought that would be a match some time, but what are those children doing now?\u201d .; ; Pauline and Polly, in their stocking feet, were tying white hair-ribbons to the horse\u2019s foretops, and two pairs of shoes were seen dangling under the carriage.They had barely finished tying the last knot \u2018and slipped into the barn afiter their bags of rice when Mr.Bingham came out to get his team.He was a desperately shy young man, and not especially observing.Being slightly agitated, too, it is doubtful whether he would have noticed had his horse turned into a prancing zebra during his absence, and it is not strange that the ribbons and other decorations failed to attract his attention.Pretty Miss Susie Peters next appeared to take her place in the carriage, and Bingham had just gathered up the reins preparatory to start when a cloudbunst of rice enveloped him, the carriage, the horse and a good share of the people on the street.The horse, a nervous animal, started with a jump, and further irritated by he fluttering ribbons before his eyes, swept down the street at a runaway pace.The shoes swung back and forth under the carriage for some distance, but finally dropped off in front of the office of the Snowville Clipper, and Editor Dodge, who had a lively realization of the fact that eternal vigilance is the price of items, cast his eagle eye out of the window in time to note the occupants of the flying carriage, the rice, and the shoes in front of his office door.He rushed out and met by chance the lady who had been visiting Mrs.Herrick that afternoon.\u201cHeard about the wedding?\u201d she asked him as he drew near.\u201cNo, but I was just going to find out about it,\u201d he answered.\u2018Young Bing- ham and Susie Peters, wasn\u2019t it?\u201d \u201cYes, I was next door during the ceremony,

and gave the couple a good send-off.\u201d \u201cWhat was her dress?\u201d queried Dodge, jotting down the points as fast as the garrulous informant brought them out.\u2018White duck suit, pink shirt waist, and a plain, white sailor hat.She looked real sweet, but no one would suspect it from her dress.\u201d Mr.Peters was among the first that afternoon to get the paper, but without stopping to 100K at its contentg, he wended his way home and tossed the sheet into his wife's lap.\u201cHere, mother, is the Illuminator,\u201d his favorite name for the Clipper; \u2018where are the twins.\u201d \u201cI put them to bed,\u201d said Mrs.Peters, unfolding the paper, \u2018\u2018that they might realize how naughty they were this afternoon; but, Oh! what is this ?\u2014 \u2018Bingham-Peters\u2019 \"\u2014and with wide», distended eyes, horror, ind gna.lon and amazement in her whole attitude, she began to read the news, while it was news, and decidedly fresh: \u201cA pretty home wedding took place this afternoon at the residence of sur esteemed fellow-citizen, John F.Peters, whose eldest daughter, Miss Susie Amelia, was united in marriage to Charles Gerald Bingham, a rising young lawyer of Snowville, \u201cThe wedding was a quiet affair, indeed, only the immediate members nf the bride\u2019s family being present at the ceremony, which was performed by Rev.Dr.Hildreth, pastor of the First (hirch.\u201cThe bride, one of Snowville\u2019s fairest daughters, was plainly but most becomingly gowned in a white duck skirt and pink waist, and was attended by her twin sisters, Pauline and Polly, who showered the heénpy couple with rice as they started away oan a carriage trip.\u201cMr.and Mrs.Bingham are popular young people, and the Clipper joins their host of friends in extending congratulations and good wishes.\u201d \u201cThose wretched children,\u201d breathed Mrs.Peters, starting to her feet, while Pauline and Polly covered their guilty heads with the bedclothes.\u201cDon\u2019t faint, mother, don't.His esteemed fellow-citizen is going right down to interview Editor Dodge, and while I'm gone you can write up his obituary.I'll guarantee that it will be fcunded on fact, at least.Where's my hat-\u201d But Mrs.Peters was dissolved in tears, and before her husband succeeded -in finding his head-covering alone and unaided, Susie and young Bingham returned from their ride in a state of satisfaction that even the Clipper was powerless to disturb.After they had read an account of their wedding Mr.Birgham plucked up courage to propose that they regard it as a prophecy, and proposed immediately to fulfill it.Mrs.Peters, in the awkward circumstances in which they were placed, approved of the idea, and Mr.Peters, after a time, was persuaded to tip his hat at a less murderous angle, and departed in search of Parson Hildreth, instead of the moving spirit of the press, while Mr.Bingham sought the town clerk to procure a license.At the interéession of their sister the term of imprisonment was shortened for the twins, and they emerged from their temporary confinement in a state of subdued joyousness that found expression in a remark from Polly to the efiect that they would play nothing but funerals after this.But Editor Dodge never really understood why Mr.Bingham subscribed for the Clipper and paid down ten years in advance, with the remark that he liked to encourage genius, or why Mr.Peters at the same time stopped his subscription and tried for a whole year ty» exist by borrowing his neighbor's papers.\u2014Atlanta

was found an envelope containing a lot of old 10 cent and 12 cent United States stamps and several of the extremely rare \u201cSidney view\u201d stamps of New South Wales.A small collection of 160 stamps was purchased by a young boy of about 14, not long age for $1.50.Only one stamp in the lot was worth anything; that was an 1851 Hawaiian missionary stamp of great value.Any dealer would have offered $400 for it.À bill was paid the other day in unused United States stamps.Among them was a sheet of 1879 2 cent stamps, a number of 3 cent of the same issue, and a lot of 6 cent and 10 cent of 1873.Mr.H.DesPlats, of Quebec, gave me a few years ago a book of about 500 stamps he had collected when he was a bcy.He was surprised when I told him that the actual value of the stamps was over $500.* * Lu Notes.Stamp papers are about the only medium through which the young collector can learn something about Philatelic matters.Canada has three papers, the Philatelic Advocate, the Montreal Philatelist and the Jubilee.The first is published by Starnaman Bros, Berlin, one of the oldest in America, and its articles are well chosen; the Montreal Philatelist, the only local stamp paper, is an interesting magazine, though not very regular in appearing.The Jubilee, if it continues as it started, will eclipse many other Papers.It is not filled with advertisements, but has well written and up- to-date articles.\u201cPhilatelic Periodicals,\u201d by Mr.H.A.Chapman, is not to be surpassed, and the Montreal notes are under the management of a popular stamp collector here.Montrealers should encourage this new magazine.The Stamp Tribune is an interesting American paper, bright and newsy.\u201cCanadian Revenues,\u201d in the September number is worth reading.Mr.Leo, the editor, knows how to interest his readers.Mekeet\u2019s Weekly is world- renowned for its useful hints and good philatelic literature.The Herald Exchange has all the qualities needed to be successful.Mr.Tausig, the editor, is one of New York's leading dealers.This paper has a black list, and publishes the names of all frauds discovered.The Collector \u2018\u2018does not use up balf its space in telling how good the other half is,\u201d as one may read on the cover.Bogert & Durbin\u2019s Philatelic Monthly is the oldest American paper.Its notes are of special interest to old and young.The Post Office is now publishing the advance sheets of the Standard Catalogue, published every mcnth.Its articles are very good.The new Chicago Philatelist has in its September number articles that will interest all Canadian collectors and has two pictures of prominent Canadian stamp dealers.The Illinois Philatelist and the Ohio Philatelist have excellent articles.I passed a very pleasant evening last week in the company of Mr.A.R.Magill, the well-known stamp dealer here, who showed me some very rare Canadian stamps.\u2019 In the issue of October 7 the Iowa lady's collection should be quoted as $10,000, not $10.New Issues.Caroline Islands-\u2014The current issue is to be surcharged \u2018\u201cKarolinen-Inseln\u201d in two lines.Chili\u2014Morgenthan & Co.ceived the type.Samoa\u2014According to the

down in the heather.Their neat invitations were written, you see, On the prettiest leaves from the prettiest tree, Then daintily tied with a fine silver thread, And gracefully hung round a carrier-dove\u2019s head, Who sped on his mission with joyful glee, And delivered each note with an \u201cR.8.To flowers and insects and-plants, one and all, Were sent invitations to attend the grand a The night soon ariived, and the moon shone so bright That the birds sang together in happy de- ht.The Bullfrogs and Tree-toads, who lived very near, In new coats of green satin were first to appear.Then followed musiclans, a numerous band, Who were led by Mosquitoes from Cedar Swamp Land.The Beetle came in with Miss Grashopper reen; Then Crickets and Flies were next to be seen, That the Wasp and the Spider, both styl: ishly dressed, Were the most graceful dancers, by all was confessed.There were Robin Redbreast and dear Jennie Wren, Causing all of the Magples to chatter again.And the Nightingale, too, In a loving refrain, Was wooing the Dove, his old sweetheart, again; While lingering near, in a bhlacberry-bush, Was the silver-tongued Linnet, and fair bride, the Thrush, Now who do you think were the chaperones there ?Why, the three Mrs.Owls, from Dismal Swamp Square.The flowers and plants, though the last to appear, Wore the loveliest costumes of any ere, one With just one exception-\u2014the Buttertiles gay, Whose costumes are made by the fairies, they say.Daisies were peerless in robes of pure white, ' their proud, happy mothers looked on in delight.The And Buttercups followed, of riches untold, each was arrayed in a gown of pure gold; The For And the Clovers looked sweet in pale pink and white, As they merrily danced in the moon's silver light.The Rosebud.the fairest, of them all, was acknowledged the belle of this beautiful hall.and queen The music was charming, the feast was quite grand, There were swcetmeats enough guests in the land.for all For each little flower who daintily sups, \u2018 The fairies served dewdrops in lily-bell cups.The dancing continued, the merriment too, Till the moon became weary, and softly withdrew, The Fireflies sald they would serve in her place, Since the moon had so selfishly hidden her ace.The the three Mrs.Owls from guest to guest flew, Said, The moon has retired; I think we muat, too.\u201d The Firefites came with their swift-flashing ligh ight, And escorted the flowers and plants home that night.4 All the gunests.bude adleu, and thelr home- wird way wended, t From the nicdst affair they had ever a

mamma fervently, \u201cI do hope these little fluff balis will have à chance to grow up before a miserable hawk spies them out.\u201d She set one little yellow chick after another down on the soft ¢lover patch and brought out old Mother Biddy to take care of them.But the very best and most careful Mother Biddy in the world can\u2019t always save her baby from an untimely end.The hawks had bothered poor mamma a great deal that season.First one little yellow brood and then another little brown brood had been sadly broken up, until oniy a few lonely little fellows were putting 0a their feather coats out in the farmyard.This little brood was the rast oné hatched, and the very, very choicest ome.Mamma said every baby in it was worth quite a lot of money.\u201cThere, scamper away, little chic-a-bids, and, mind you, keep your little weather eye open for swooping, pouncing things up in the air!\u2019 said she, \u2018and the minute vox See one run\u2014run\u2014run for Mother Biddy's feather bed.\u201d \u2019 Then mamma went in and Tillie came out.She was rearing chickens, too, only hers didn\u2019t grow a bit or shed their cunning little yellow dresses for feather coats.ii lie\u2019's chickens were made with wire back- hones and legs, and when you placed then on the clover patch they didn't scurry away.Tillie put one down now.He was as big \u2014or as little\u2014and every bit as yellow an.fluffy as mammws chickens and he looked like their own cousin without any \u2018\u2018removes.\u201d His first name was Fluffy.and bis last name\u2014and family name\u2014Duff.\u201cThere, Fluffy Duff, you stay right here and catch a nice worm for dinner,\u201d cone manded Tillie\u2019s sweet little voice, \u2018\u2018an\u2019 get quainted with mamma's chickies.\u201d An hour or two afterward mamma heard a squawking and eclucking, and hurried tn the door just In time to \u2018\u2018shoo\u2019\u201d a great hawk away from the clover patch.But before he went, though.he was frightened nearly out of his wits, he snatched up a finy yellow thing and sailed away with it In his claws.\u2018There\u2019s one gone already.\u2019 groaned poor mamma, running out, with Tillie at her heels.\u201cOne, two, three\u2014why, no, they're all here.Here\u2019s ten.\u201d Then mamma counted all over again.There were ten tiny yellow things left! \u201cON.oh, it was Fluffy Duff\u2014 it was Fluffy Duff!\u201d Tillie cried in horror.And it was a very long time before she could see any joke in it at all.THE YOUNGEST SON.(A Reflection by One of His Brothers.)
