accuracy of the statements contained in his interview with Gen, Weyler and his belief that certain circumstances might drive the Captain-General to resign.The correspondent also says that the commandant at Gardenas reports that a quantity of munitions cf war landed by filibusterers was seized by the Spanish and taken to the military station which was attacked by the rebels.The result of the fight is not known.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MISS BARNJUM'S GYMNASIUM.THE ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT PROMISES TO BE A SUCOERS.The annual calisthenic entertainment by the pupils of Miss Barnjum\u2019s Gymnasium, will be given in the Windsor Hall on April 16, and promises to be unusually interesting.His Excellency the Governor-General has given a gold medal, a silver medal and a bronze medal, which will form the first prizes to be competed for by the senior, the junior and the lilliputian classes respectively.His Worship the Mayor has given two gilver medals, which will form the second prizes for the seniors aud juniors, and the friends of the Gymnasium have given four silver medals, forming the third prizes for the seniors and the juniors, and the second and third prizes for the lilliputians.\u2014p\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A YOUNG FAGIN.Last right a young lad who gave his name as Delson Leet was found loitering In a stable on Coleraine street, enjoying a repast of soda crackers, which it is alleged he had induced a boy to steal for him.As he had been loitering off and on for the past three months around the vicinity inciting other boys to purloin eatables for his benefit, he was arrested.When brought before the Recorder this morning Leet claimed that he had been away from home for three days only, and that he had gone out to play one day, and got lost, being unable to find his father's house, which is in Mount Royal Vale.Under the circumstances His Honor thought It best to remand the lad to the Reformatory School for eight day in order that his parents may claim him, If he is not taken away during that period he will probably be sentenced to several years confinement in the school to prevent him from growing up on the streets.me 0e FEATHER BONNETS FOR THE ROYAL SCOTS.The long-expected and much talked of feather bonnets for the Royal Scots of Canada, will be on hand next week.They are, However, to be treated with all reverence, and are

drills will commence next week.A \\ 7 - ; 7 : À x _ Vv d 47 = 4 N EE = ATEN Vv Z ~ ZZ .CA FA \\ \u2019 4 es J CZ \\ S / es, # ARS A FER) mu A 22 sécon DMC aT READIN Ws A A NARROW ESCAPE FROM A

20.\u2014A special to the \u2018Herald,\u2019 from Rome says: King Menelek demands an indemnity of 40,000,000 lire from Italy.\u2018This conditicn is unacceptable and further complicates the situation.The Negus\u2019s forces now threaten to surround Asmara while continuing to ad- vancs upon Massowab.The Marquis Di Rudind is evidently losing ground.It is believed that in case the credit he asked for is refused he will dissolve parliament.A royal decree for this purpose has already been drawn up.After peace has been made King Mene- tek, it it said, will visit the Czar.The Russian ambassador is negotiating for the passage of a Russian ambulance corps through Massowah.Permission is certain to be granted.New York, March 20.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Herald\u2019 from Cairo, Egypt, s®ys:\u2014 While the natives are all disconsolate at the prospect of war, the English in Cairo are elated.Scores of young men in civil places are striving for permission to join the forces and several English women have volunteered for hospital service.The prospect of fighting creates much enthusiasm among the British.Many .serious minded observers predict that the attempt to carry out Great Britain\u2019s long-matured policy in the Soudan will provoke a European war, as it will afford Russia and France the pretext which they have been yearning for.The war correspondents of the London press are rapidly concentrating here.The young Khedive is sald tg be elated over the prospect.SLATIN PABHA ON THE SITUATION.Slatin Pasha, the companion of General Gordon, who has had tem years of life and imprisonment in the Soudan and who now holds the rank of Colonel in the Egyptian army, said yesterday: \u2018I shall go to ithe front with Sirdar at once.By reason of my knowledge of the country and my information as to the forces in the field and to be brought into it and my ability to speak the dialects of the Soudan region, I ought to be able to render, good service.I readlly speak Soudamese better than my native German.1 think we shall have some fighting inside of a = poi > = advance beyond Egyptian territory.The are certain to meet opposition.I think we shall find :the enemy at least 4,000 strong in rifles with 5,000 spearmen and with an irregular cavalry force of about 2,000.The best arms they have are the Remington rifles and they are quite cut of date now.\u2018The talk about the Dervishes being able to put one hundred thousand fighters in the field is absurd.Not half that number of fighting men can be mustered in the whole region.They bave some regimental and\u2019brigade crganization, but discipline is lax and supplies are always inadequate.Osman Digna wil probably be our chief opponent.The Dervishes will not in this encounter have the fanaticism which the Mahdi inspired in the Gordon campaign.Besides, the people are much dissatisfied on account of the oppression and misrule of their government of late.I think we shall push our forces to Dongola at once.Our advanced troops being Soudanese and Egyptian, the hcat will not interfere with us.Wa ought to be able to reach Omdurmann in a month or two.Our native troops can march through the desert twelve or fifteen mires a day and from Dcngola to Omdurmann should not occupy more than a fortnight.I am quite familiar with all the tribes that can be brought agalnst us and have no fear as to the result of this expedition.Quite a number of European military officers are applying for permission to accompany us.Sirdar, who is the nominal commander of the Egyptian army will go to the front on Tuesday.\u2018Much is expected of the trained Scudamese regiments officered by the British, but I would not care to depend much on Egyptian trcops such as I have seen.\u2019 WAR PROCLAIMED BY THE DERVISHES.London, March 20.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Globe\u2019 from Cairo says: The Khalifa has proclaimed a holy war against Egypt cal- ing upon all dervishes capable cf bearing arms to enroll themseves under the green banner.It i8 asserted that Osman _ Digna will quit Kassaia and join the Dervish forces around Dongola.The British and Egyptian troops-are in a healthy con- | dition and are-dridling daily.A number of machine guns \u2018have been started for the front.The weather is perfect.Paris, March 20.\u2014Tihe \u2018Figaro\u2019 in a despatch from London publishes a report of an interview with Str Charles Dilke, M.P., cn the subject of the British expedition up the Nile Valley, in which that statesman says: \u2018Tt would be useless Lo go to Dongola amd it would be superfluous to assist Kassala, which place the Italians have decided to abandon.real move was to conquer the Soudan but ' The to the fact that the consensus of opinion in the House of Commons was opposed to a fresh war in \u2018the Soudan.The government is therefore going to modify the extent and aim of the expedition and reduce it to the simphegt proportions.\u2019 The \u2018Journal\u2019 says: \u2018If Great Britain wishes to be frank and loyal to Egypt, she would leave the government of that country free io express an opimion on would certainly reject the Dongola expedition.\u2019 e The \u2018Eclair\u2019 says that the whole of France will applaud the courteous and firm statements made by M.Berthelot, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs.London, March.30.\u2014In the House of Commons to-day Mr.G.N.Curzon, Under Foreign Secrelary, stated the Italian Government had commuuicated to the British Government the information that there was a prospect that the dervishes would make an attack upon Kassala and pointed out the effect which such an attack would have upon Egypt.Mr.John Morley asked if a majority of the Egyptian debt commission were competent to sanction the proposed expenditure for the Dongola expedition.Mr, Curzon said the commission controlled two funds.The largest of these, which was derived from a conversion of the Egyptian debt, required the unanimous consent of the powers to authorize the expenditure of the whple.or any part thereof, but the smaller one, à reserve fund amounting to $2,600,000, he said might be dispoeed of by a majority of the commission.pe DEATH OF A CANADIAN POET.Orangeville, Gnt, March 20.\u2014Alexander McLachlin, the poet, died at his residence here at 8 a.m.to-day.He moved into town from his farm a short time ago.He had been in good health until a few days \"ago and his death was unexpected by his friends.\u2014l A FALL OF FIFTY FEET.ADOLPH ST, PIERRE HAD.THAT EXPERIENCE AND STILL LIVES.The Notre Dame and General Hospital ambulances were summoned simultaneously yesterday to proceed to the new building in course of erection on the corner of Victoria square and St.James street, off the top of which a workman, Adolphe St.Plerre, had just fallen fifty feet to the walk below.The ambulance from the General Hospital arrived two and a-half minutes before the other, and the man was removed to that institution where it was found he had escaped with fractures of his rose and right leg.His recovery is expected in due course.\"public expected it.ing of the second reading of the Remedial bill, causes no surprise heme, es the Local ministers say the majority was about what they ex- complete.A servile parltament, many members of which were purdhased for purpose, has by a majority of eighteen declared that the Pope is su- prems in Canadian politics.The hierarchy of Quebec have gained one point in the great school struggle.They have demonstrated that when it comes to a truggle with the pcople's representatives they are paramount, all-powerful and omnipotent.They cracked the clerical whip and the government fell prostrate before it.The humiliating part of the thing is that they were able to corrupt a sufficient number of their following to betray their constituents and their country and vote for the coercion of Mamitoba at the dictation of the hierarchy.Of course we do not for a moment think that the vote given in pariiament this morning settles the question or places the final passage, of the Remedial bil within even measurable distance.We are disposed to think that the bill wil be a dead letter from this time forth.That it will \u2018be impossible to put the bill through commitbee and through the final reading before thie expiration of parliament goes without saying.Dissolution may now be specially counted upon.The next step will be the conference in Winnipeg.That anyidbing but failure will result from it seems extremely doubtful, Mr.Greenway cannot concede separate schools and that the minority wil accept less is very problematical.Of one thing we are confident and that is that co-.15 the country will never sanction the escjn 0% Manitoba.ue #hv6 riad nadian follbwing stoôd up and Mite heroes voted against their clergy, and in faver of Manitoba and provincial rights.Seven traitors from Manitoba and the North-West Territories, who represent (or rather misrepresent) the couniry specially interested, voted for coercion.Mr.Maptin was the only friend the province bad.What a commentaery upon party and representative government such a spectacle affords.Only one man out of eight who had the courage, the common honesty, Indeed the common decency, to vote for what is so clearly the-vital in- temests of the province.That such con- duat as the seven traïtors have been gullty of is possible without even more radical punishment than can be infiicted by the ballot box is indeed a great tribute to public forbearance.Mem who could betray their country whem an issue so vital to its well being .is at ®take deserve to be driven out of public life with the brand of disgrace stamped upon their foreheads.rtf BOUNTIES TO CANADIAN INDIANS.THE MATTER TO BE BROUGHT BEFORE THE PRIVY OOUNCIL.London, March 20.\u2014The Judicial Com: mittee of the Privy Council has granted to the Dominion and the Province of Quebec leave to appeal from judgments rendered by the Supreme Court of Canada.The Province of Ontario is the respondent in both these cases, which arise from decisions affecting arbitration between the Dominion end the provinees in reference to the payment of bounties to Indians.pr CN BRITISH SCHOONERS COLLUIDE.London, March 20.\u2014The British schooners \u2018Forest Belle\u2019 and \u2018Zenith\u2019, both of Swansea, came into collision in the Chan- mel

LS After having tendered for and carefully examined the localities, keeping in view the current cxpeanses, I discovered ttat a store like the Glenorà Building, which I at present occupy on Notre Dame street, would cost $6,000 more to ret annually on St, Catherine street than on Notre Dame street.At present.the carg, on all the various lines pass my door.The ladies who ltve in distant parts of the city can leave home and.by paying-æ single fare reach my place of business as\u201c quickly as any other business place in the city Now take as a basis a House whitch does $100,000 worth of business yearly; it would be obliged to charge its customers six cents on each purchase, amounting to a dollar to pay the higher Tate of rent.and about five cents extra on the dollar to pay the other expenses incurred by the higher rent and the lo- mit people who want carpets and house furnishings to save money by coming to \u2018buy from me.I can aell goods without Anaking false representations and make a \u2018profit that will permit me to live.I shall not advertise \u2018and I shall not permit salesmen to sell Brussels carpets of third and fourth quality as cf first qual- fty.I shall not give a T7b5c Tapestry carpet for 39 cents; but my reat and moderate expenses do not dllow me to sive @& gold dollar for a bad silver dollax.POur spring carpets bear\u2019 the commercial mark of respectable makers.ct the firät class and our goods are always what they are represented to be.Ladies ofterf say: \u2018Ligget\u2019s carpets last too long.\u2019 This is a reprcach in which we glory.Our warehouse is the best in the trade.Our stock is the - greatest and the best in Canada, and I give the best value in the way of carpets, curtains, straw mattings and furnishings that can be found no cality.I have decided to relnhin in the lower part of the city in order to per- matter where.* THOMAS LIGGET, .1884 and 188 GLENORA BUILDING, MONTREAL.6 Notre Dame, Y, M.C.A.BICYCLE CLUB The Annual Meeting of the above Club will be hold Next 7 HURSD.Y EVENING, March 28, at 8 o'olock, in the Association Board Room.Every member of the Club is particularly requested to be present, also any member of the association who has a wheel.Business: \u2014 Election of Officers.Reception of Annual Reports.: ;

Arthur soon lost himself in the passionate prayer he was singing.The only thing that embarrassed him was the remarkable behaviour of old Monet.The old man would turn ound on his stool and look at him in a most earnest way, playing all the time perfectly correctly.Sometimes he seemed to be trying to peer into the young fellow\u2019s mouth.When the song was over, and all were uniting In praise of the singer, old Monet still sat at the piano, rubbing his hands.and muttering to himself in French, * Arthur had, in fact, sung remarkably well.His voice had changed very early, and now liis man\u2019s voice had come, clear and strong.He had thrown his whole self into the song, too.with a fervor that is seldom seen in one so young.Wh he was put- tin# on his overcoat, he was surprised to see old Mr.Monet coming up to speak to him.\u2018You \"flat badly on your middle notes\u2019 said the little Frenchman.After so much praise it was a little hard to receive such a needless rebuke: but Arthur tried his best to smile.: \u2018Tm afraid that isn\u2019t the only bad thing I do,\u2019 he said.\u2018Oh no; but that is the vorst.But I vill teach you better eef you vill come to me some time.Ven shall it be\u201d Arthur started.There were great stories around about Mr.Monet's musical abilitles.The boy was curl- ous- \u2019 \u2018Shall T come to-morrow Might at eight?he asked.\u2018At eight; yes, at eight\u2019 and the little Frenchman withdrew, rubbing his hands and talking to himself.\u2018At eight; yes, at eight; dat vill be de time.Yes, at eight vill be de best time.\u2019 When Arthur entered Mr.Monet's room the next ~vening, he was amaz- ye to see what a pleatant place it | was.There was an upright piano; therc was a bookcase with more music in it than Arthur had ever dreamed of; and on the walls there were pictures of all the great musl- cians.There was even a vase of flowers on the table in the centre cf the room.But the boy had no time to look about him.\u2018Now, ve vill begin right avay; said Mr.Monet, eagerly.\u2018And I vill try .your voice first, and see what are de limits.But you must not stand so! Ven I Jearnt to sing I should have been vipt if I had stood so.\u2019 When Arthur had at last managed to stand properly, the energetic little I'renchinan made him sing as high and then as low as his voice would go.\u2018Ah, you must get your voice cut of de t'roat,\u201d he said; \u2018but in time vou vill be a tenor singer; ah yes, you vill have a high voice in time.\u2018Mr.Atkins sings tenor, doesn\u2019t he\u201d Arthur asked.The I'renchman\u2019s face clouded.Meester Atkeens cannot sing at all he said, \u2018he can only bellow: but you must not talk and ask questions; You are learning to sing, not to speuk de orations\u201d So the lesson went on, Mr.Monet finding fault all the time, till, when it was nine o\u2019clock, Arthur was fairly discouraged.\u2018I'm doing my best, sir\u2019 he said, after a final rebuke which summed up all the others.\u2018Yes; but your best is not very good.Can you come to-morrow at eight?\u2018No, to-morrow I must\u2019 \u2014 \u2018Never mind vat.De next night at eight \u201d \u2018Yes; but I don\u2019t want to bother you.\u2019 .\u2018 Ket ees no hoder.Come den at eight hours, and I vill he ready vid a lot more of de scoldings like vat you have had to-night.Arthur laughed, shook hands with his new teacher, and withdrew.The lessons were continued tirough the spring three times a week.In ali that time Arthur did not receive a° single compliment from his teacher.\u2018Dat ees a leetle better) was the highest praise he had yct won.It was impossible, however, not to catch some of his master's \u2018enthusiasm and love of music.The boy practiced faithfully at home, and could see that he improved, even if his instructor never told him 80.But he was troubled about jay- ing for the lessons, for old Mr.Monet had never spoken about that, and Arthur did not like to introduce the subject.At last he spoke to his father about it; and Mr.Bald vin ! called on Mr.Monet the next \u201cav.The little man greeted him very politely.\u2018I am glad to see your son\u2019s fader, he said.\u2018Thank you, said Mr.Baldwin.\u2018It was about my son I wished te speak.You have taught him so long now that I think it is time we should speak about some remuneration.I am sure\u2019\u2014 \u2018Excuse me\u2014excuse me,' interrupt- od the Frenchman.\u2014\u201cAnyt\u2019ing but dat!

I myself vill tell him vat is good to know, As for you, \u2018sir, 1 vill tell you dat he is a very good bor; yes, a very good boy\" Four years went by and Arthur was twenty-one years old.He had kept up his singing lessons steadily, and though he felt that he had improved, he had never received a compliment from his teacher.Mr.Monet never allowed him to sing in church or in public.\u2018You vill get more of de praise dan you deserve, andl dat vill spoil you, he said.Arthuÿ had left school and had gone into his father's business; but singing took more and more of his time and attention.Mr.Baldwin saw that the boy was really devoted to his music and let him have his way.Finally, one hot day in Angust old Mr.Monet made a state call on Mr.Baldwin.Arthur never heard exactly what was sald; but the result of the conversation was that his father asked him if he would like to study singing in Paris, and Arthur said without na moment's hesitation, that he would.= °' It was a sad occasion when the young man went to take his last lesson before.going abroad.The tears were in the old Frenchman's eyes when he opened the door te his pupil for the last time, and he sat down and played 1 few chords on the piano to cover his emotion.\u2018Eet ees de last lesson, my boy.\u2018Yes, sir.\u2019 : THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.\u2018I have never told you much about vonce, ven I vas your age, and 1 sang very vell\u2014yes, very vell, 1 public, before I vas vell known, 1 vas taken sick, very sick; I vas very nearly a dead man.But no, I Fe but ven I came to sing'\u2014 The old man stopped a moment to get con-, trol of himself, and when he went on his voice was firm again: \u2018Ven 1 began to sing, I could not sith.Dat vas in France: and den I came to Amerique, and I got a place to play here in Annisvillee I cannot play\u2014but I could sing\u2014vonce.But I have looked out for some vone dat might perhaps some time sing as I could have sung, and\u2014 And I i can teach as few men can teach now | det my teacher has died.So ven | You sing, my boy, you sing for me land for you: and eef you succeed eet vill be partly your poor old ! teacher's success.\u201d Again he stopped ito control himself.\u2018Hef you ever become a good singer, you vill remember dat I taught you; you vill remember dat, vill you not?\u2018I shall remember, said Arthur\u2019 \u2018And now ve vill take de lesson.\u2019 The lesson for that day was a part of Sullivan's oratorio, \u2018The Prodigal Son,\u201d The accompaniment rose and fell a long time in pathetic cadences till suddenly Arthur's beautiful voice joined it with a wonderful pathos and passion.It was singing such as one seldom hears.When old Monet turned round to criticise, the tears were still in his eyes; but true to his principle, he gave no compliment \u2018Not kvite so spasmodic on the fader in dat place vere you say, \u2018Fader, fader, I have sinned!\u201d But ve vill go over it again.Good-bye, my hoy! God bless you.\u2018Good-by, Mr.Monet.I can never tell you how much 1 owe you.Arthur went out, closing the door behind him, while his teacher sat at the piano with his head In his hands.In all his lonely life he had never felt so lonely before.Arthur did not return for five years His teacher in Paris, who was at that time considered the greatest teacher in the world, wrote such enthusiastic letters describing the young man\u2019s progress that Mr.Bald win was content to let his boy stay as long as he liked.But at the end of the fifth year there was : rumor current in Annisville that he was coming back.That Arthur Baldwin, who had taken the part of leading tenor in the Grand Opera in Europe, who had actually sung before crowned heads, and who had won all sorts of splendid honors\u2014that thisi\u2019great man was coming back to pay his old home a visit, was almost tog, wonderful to be believed.As to Jean Monet.he was beside himself with joy.The old man had a book in which he pasted the programme of every -~pera, oratorio, and concert in which Arthur had taken part.He bad pored over these programmes again and again during the last few years.And now he was going to hear his boy sing.as he himself might have sung if only things had gone a little differently.The old Annisville Town Hall had never been so crowded as it was on the evening of Arthur Baldwin\u2019s first concert.The aisles were jammed, in defiance of the law.There was a moment of breathless suspense when all was ready and the singer had not yet appeared.When he finallv stepped oùt upon the platform, a little older and stouter in build than five years ago, but their own Arthur Baldwin still, the clapping and cheering and shouting were louder than even at the loudest town meeting.It seemed as if the singer would never have a chance to sing: but after d while the noise subsided, and after Arthur had said a few words of greeting to his old neighbors and friends, the recital began.- In the very front row*sat old Mr.Monet.Ile had refused to play the accompaniments because he said he wanted to hear his boy sing.At any less enthralling entertainment it would have been worth while \u2018~ watch the old Frenchmam\u2019s behaviour.He swayed to and fro, he nodded approvingly, he smiled appreciation: but he never clapped.He seemed to feel too strongly for that.But the others clapped.They had never heard such singing before.at its mercy.Now lie had them all silently grieving, now he raised them all to such a thrilling sense of patriotism that they could hardly keep their scats.And, last of all, the last song on the programme, came the tenor £çolo from \u2018The Prodigal Son,\u201d a special compliment to old Monet.Quietly and sadly rose and fell the cadences of the accompaniment until they were joined by a voice of almost heavenly purity and sweetness.Arthur's whole being seemed to Le carried away with what ha was singing.He seemed to feel himself the outcast, wretched prodigal who wished he werd a servant in hig father's house.\u2018How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare,\u2019 he sang sadly and bitterly, and then, breaking into an excess of despair, \u2018while I perish with hunger\u201d \u2018His audience followed- breathless.It seemed \u201calmost supernatural.They tco felt that it was the prodigal son.himself who was singing to them.It was something which no person in the hall ever for- 4 myself, my boy.I vas a singer know; but before I came before de | Arthur's wonderful voice held them | got; and when the end came, all | was still Clapping seemed a dese- | eration.Only a few sobs broke the | complete silence.When Arthur had recovered himself, the first thing\u2019 he did was to go down to speak to his old teacher.Jean Monet's face, withered and covered; I t'ought I vas all vell again; worn as it was, looked handsome as she stämbled up to his pupil.He tried to speak as sternly as of old: \u2018Not kvite so spasmodic on de \u201cfader\u201d in \u2018dat place'\u2014but the strain was too much for the old man.He stopped in the middle of his crificiem and\u2019 threw his arms around his pupil's neck.\u2018Oh, my boy\u2014my boy!\" he cried; \u2018vou sang de vay I sing in my dreams.ven I dream I am in heaven! [For the Boys\u2019 Page.A Drop of Turpentine BY J.C.SUTHERLAND, Richmond.So near the close of this great century, it almost ppeems unnecessary to tell anybody that the commonest things of everyday life are full of deep and rich interest if one\u2019s eyes are open to observe.During the last hundred years true poets have been teaching the world very beautifully, and true scientista very practically, the great truth which a Christian apostle learned in a vision, namely, that nothing is common or unclean.I have been importuned by a certain young person to tell the readers of the Boys\u2019 Page wf the \u2018Witness\u2019 how to make a simple experiment with a drop of common spirits of turpentine, and to explain what the experiment teaches.It is not a very difficult thing to do\u2014I mean to make the experiment\u2014and it requires only a cash outlay of five cents.Procure, then, firstly, from a drug store about two drachms of powdered chlorate of potash and a teaspoonful (take a small bottle with you) of mu- riatic acid.Put the chlorate of potash in a tumbler, and pour the muri- atic acid over the chlorate.Then place a.piece of stiff paper or of cardboard over the tumbler.In a few minutes a greenish-yellow gas will have filled the vessel.While it is forming cut a strip of blotting paper, say an inch wide and three inches long.Stick a Knitting needle or a pen-holder through one end of the strip (as a handle) and dip the other end in turpentine.Now it will be time to take the cardboard cover from off the gas in the tumbler, but be careful not to inhale the gas.It is unpleasant, and dangerous also when inhaled too directly.It is chlorine.Then dip the saturated end of the blotting paper into the tumbler of gas.Almost immediately there is a burst of flame.The moment that happens look at the air above you.You will see a crowd of black, shiny specks falling down.Are they the \u2018ashes\u2019 of the blotting paper ?Look at the blotting paper.Even the edges do mot appear scorched.The suddenness of the burst of flame startled you, and the involuntary jerk of your arm \u2018put the flame out at once.Nothing was burned, apparently, but the turpentine on the blotting paper.It will be making, therefore, a fair and proper use of your reason to decide that there must be some intimate connection between the black, shiny specks and the turpentine.Repeat the experiment several times, if you have emough materials to do s0 ; remembering, though, that the same caution which is used the first time must be observed always.No chemist, nor indeed any man of science, can ever afford to be careless when he is addressing Dame Nature.That lady is very severe on those who may fall into the contempt of familiarity.She does not mind how often she is interrogated, but she does insist on the questions being properly put.Nate, by the way, how modest and polite were the great Darwins, Faradays, Agassizs and Lyells.They learned that in the old lady's school.Some \u2018of them were quite \u2018bumptious\u2019 as boys.But let us now inauire why it is that chlorine gas and spirits of.turpentine cause! à purst of flame when they are brought together, and, incidentally, what the black specks are.which float in the air after the experiment.As with many other problems of science, the explanation begins by considering what the substances are compdsed of.Lét us take the chlorine first.This gas has been exam- iced by many chemists.and has been found to consist of\u2014chlorite-\u2014 Simply that and mothing more.Thaï is to say, chlorine gas is not a mixture or a combination of any other known gases, but is la complete entity cr \u2018element\u2019 by itself.It cannot be \u2018split up,\u201d as the chemists say, into twb or more parts that differ from one another in their properties, But that turpentine is a compound.The chemists\u2019 find it to be compesed of two elements, namely,.carbon and hydrogen.For this article, it will the exact proporticn in which they are.combined, although the natural laws which govern this proportion are very beautiful.It is worth while, however, to note in passing that this ADVERTISEMENTS, CC T_T if chlorine is an element, it is found | not be mecessary for us to consider | clear liquid, spirits of turpentine, is \u2018 money?or \u2018\u2018the same as Pearline.\u201d > Which have you an e x=

perfect gas (the hydrogen).Now the real interest of the story begins with the manner in which nature unites these two elements toga- ther.Turpentine is obtained from various species of balsam and fir trees, The laboratory in which it is really made is a tree.Plants obtain the food by which they live and grow from two directions.From below they obtain, through their roots, water and different kinds of salts; from above they obtain, through-their leaves, a compound gas known now as carbonic dioxide, but more frequently as carbonic acid gas.In mysterious ways the living plant changes its food into sap, into fibre, into bark, into ledf and sometimes into gums and resins and oils.When we think of what the food is composed, the transformations are really as wonderful as (if not more so) Mr.Edison's great inventions.One of the \u2018resins\u2019 thus formed is our turpentine, It comes from the trees in a thick, sticky state, and is then distilled by man (but without change of its chemical nature)\u2014solid rosin being left im the retort and spirits of turpentine \u2018coming over in the tubes, The living tree builds up its turpentine from the carbon of the car- bonic acid gas of the atmosphere, and from the hydrogen of the water drawn from the soil.That seems a simple enough thing at .first sight, but it wiH stand some examination.Take the case, first, of the carbonic acid gas.We must remember that every smallest portion of this gas ccusists of millions of atoms of carbon and millions of atoms of oxygen locked together very tightly, and that they can only be separated by work, and hard work at that.So.toe, with (water.Every drop of it consists of millions of atoms of oxygen and millions of hydrogen closed in fast embrace.By the aid of heat, man can break the water up into little masses of water vapor (as in a tea kettle), which are still water, but he has to use a current of electricity to detach the oxygen from the hydrogen atoms.That is to say, he hazto use a stronger force than mere heat.We must realize, then, that the tree in talking away the carbon from the carbonic acid gas and the hydrogen from the water, and uniting them together as turpentine, is doing work, is using force, and the burst of flame in our experiment is a measure of that werk, For the umion of the carbon and hydrogen in the turpentine is of the same kind as that, of the carbon and oxygen in the bonic acid gas and of the hydroger \u2018and oxygen in the water ,and our experiment shovrs how strong that kind of union is.How ?Not to be too techincal, but to be accurate at the same time, I am going to represent the burst of flame as a burst of angty pain.That is exactly what it is.The atoms of chlorine have at all times what is called a strong affinity (or love) for the atoms of hydrogen.Now, when you presented the drop of turpentine on the blotting paper to the chlorine, the latter fairly leaped forth and wrenched the hydrogen atoms of \u2018the turpentine from the embrace of the carbon atoms.Remembering that there are millions of atoms of hydrogen and millions of atoms of carbon in every drop of turpentine, it is not difficult to imagine the awful commotion, the violent jostlings and, indeed, the flaming insurrection that would be produced in this tiny area by the separation of the one kind of atoms from the other kind of atoms.And a feeling of pity arises for those evicted brethren, the cor.bon atoms, which are Falling everywhere as black, shiny specks.ADVERTISEMENTS, ) Are You Nervous?| Horsford\u2019s Acid Phosphate If A Quiets the nerves and

hoist and held that the Mamitoba school aot of 1890 was 1892 and the remedial order issued after that was null and void.moved the adjournment of the debate.This gave rise to some feeling apparently and Mr.Lister who spoke afterward was frequently Interrupted.At ome point Mr.Ives interjected \u2018Hear, hear,\u2019 pwrning Mr.Lister said: \u2018The Minister of Trade and Commerce had better go down stairs again where he has been al] evening.\" Mr.Ives, who was sitting with his feat in the vacant chair of the leader of the House and all Mr.Lister could see was the back of his head, took no notice of thls admonition.ted Mr.McGilllvray with want of cour- the electors of Ncerth Ontario to trust him until he had seen the bill.He had seen the bill over a month ago and was yet in the dark as far as the House or public were concerned.Mr.Davies asked the Minister of Justice for his opinion as to the point raised by Mr.Charbonneau.Mr.Diskey thought it could not operate to prevent the second reading.It was true that the act of 1890 was displaced by \u2018a consolidation in 1892 but the act was continued and not repealed.Mr.Charbonneau said the act was actually and absolutely repealed.Mr.Clarke Wallace made a highly interesting series of statements at this point and very important, too, as will be found on an examination of dates and pledges.His cpening remarks were adorned by a \u2018gorap\u2019 with the member for North Grey, Mr.Mass{n, a budding county judge.He intimated to Mr.Masson that he was not going back to his constituents or he would have mors respect for the Grand Sovereign.Replying to Sir Hibbert Tupper\u2019s recent attack in the House on him as to his position in remaining in the government tu so late a period as he did, Mr.Wallace said: \u2018When I became a member of the government I had a conversation with Sir John Thompson.He then thought this question would never come before parliament.He thought the Barrett case would cover the second appeal.He said to me, \u2018If unfortunately this case should come Yefore the House it would be a political question.\u2019 When Sir Mackenzie Bowell passed the remedial order I protested amd before I delivered mry Twelfth of July speech in Ottawa I told the Premier of it.I told him that if the views I held were inconsistent with my position I would resign.He sald it was not necesssary, thet he did not expect this question to come before parliament at all that Manitoba would settle the question.\u2019 The pledge given to parliament by the Premier was on July 8 or three days earlier than this interview.The rest of Mr.Wallace's speech consisted of lively passages of arms between Mr.Wallace and Mr.McGillivray as to pledges said to have been given by Mr.McGillivray in the North Ontario contest against remedial legislation.Major Hughes spoke for three-quarters of an hour; during nearly the whole time nothing could be heard of his speech owing to the uproar caused by two or three members of the Opposition who got together in the back benches and made strange parliamentary noises, cat-calls, crowing, quack-quack and scraping of desks and cocasional howls.Mr.Speaker appeared to think this was justifiable after two nights and two days and did not interfere.THE VOTERA division was reached at five o'clock this morning.The following Conservatives voted for the amendment: Messrs.Wallace, McCarthy, Sproule, O\u2019Brien, Mc- Neill, Cockburn, Weldon, Tyrwhit}{, Muc- lean, Craig, Hodgins, Stubbs, Bemnett, Wilson, Henderson, Rosamond, Calvin, Carscaliem.\u201418, The following Liberals voted against the amenäment: Fremontt Beausoleil, Vail- lancourt, Melsaac, Devlin, Delisle and Angers\u2014T7.The vcte stood\u2014Yeas, 91; nays, 115, a majority of 24 against the amendment.The announcement of the vote was received In dead silence.À vote was taken on the main motion, Would the bill be now read the second time?Messns.Hughes, McGillivray, Ben- Lett, McNeill, and Ingram demanding the yeas and nays.The vote stood for the second reading 112, against 94, a government majority of only 18.Two hundred and six members voted each time.The only changes in the vote were that Major Hughes, North Victoria, Major McGillivray, North Ontario, and Hugo Ross of Dundas, who voted first against the six months hoist now voted against the bill making a difference of six on a division.There was only one pair, Sir Donald Smith for the bfll and Mr.Rowand against.The Speaker declared the motion carried.It was now six o'clock in the morning and the House had been sitting for thirty-nine hours without rising, from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning and Sir Charles Tupper moved the House into committee on the bill.Mr.Laurier indignantly protested but Sir Charles Tupper persisted and Mr.Laurier re- inained firm so after a delay Sir Charles Tupper, with very bad grace, substituted three o'clock this afternocn.The House then adjourned.Thus ended one of the most memorable debates in the history of the Canadian Parliament.There will be many political graves in Ontario over this vote and as the bill can never become law the government will lose the confidence even of their allies in Quabec.The seven Liberals who voted for the bill make fourteen on a division so that fourteen from eighteen leaves the size of the government's own majority for the] bill\u2014four.A bill carried by only four of the ruling majority is as good as dead.Unlike its introducers it will never, be even resurrected.After the ahnouncement of the second vote both Mindsterialg and Liberals cheered.The galleries remained crowded all night.the Speaker's gallery being filled with ladies in brilliant evening costumes.The following is the

THE BENATE.Ottawa, March 20.\u2014In the Senate yesterday afternoon Senator Perley had a long question on the order paper asking about the movements of Lieutenant-Govw- ernor Mackintosh of -thé North-West Territories, which he allowed to drop, as he said he had been informed that the Lieutenant-Governor intended to return to the discharge of his official duties at Regina.Senator Ogilvie defended the Lieuten- ant-Governor, and said that Lieutenant- Governor Mackintosh's record as Mayor of the city of Ottawa and member of Par- llament left no doubt as to his ability and usefulness as\u2018 public official.Senator Ferguson sald that though the question had been dropped he wouid give the House the information asked for in justice to the lieutenant-governor, as the question had gone on record.He read from a letter written by the lieuten- anit-governor, stating that he had come to Ottawa at the request of the Minister of the Interior to consult with him in regard to the estimates.While in the capital he had also been engaged in con- gultation with the government in reference to the disallowed school ordinance, and in preparing a revision of the Magistracy law of the Territories.Senator Ferguson also read from a report from Mr.Angus McKay, the \u2018Chairman of the Territorial Exhibition, to the effect that the overdraft, or outstanding accounts in connection with the exhibiticn, had been inourred in providing for the unexpeocted- ly large entries of live stock at the exhibition.The amount of the outstanding son, GHlmore, Godbout, Grieve, Guay, Har- consistiag of music, recitations, readings Mr.MacArthur of Mount in committee, discussing the provisions of the bill to prevent the feeding of sugar to bees.THE TORONTO PRESS, Toronto, March 20.\u2014The \u2018Mail and Empire\u2019 devotes over a column editorial to praising Mr.Mills\u2019g constitutional argument on the remedial bill, elaiming that it vindicates the government's course.The \u2018Globe\u2019 says in concluding a leader beaded \u2018Coercion and Conciliation\u2019: \u2018One thing is certain, if the government per- gist in pushing their measure through the subsequent stages, the vigilance of its \u2018opponents ought to \u2018be relaxed by the hope that the matter may be settled.Some of the weaker brethren may be hoodwinked in this way, but the bill ought to be fought strenuously, inch by inch, just so long as the attempt to enact it \u2018is persisted in.If there are negotia- tons they ought to be free, not with a club held over the head of one of the parties.\u2019 .=> BOOKS AND ART.PAPER READ AT A MEETING OF THE TEACHERS \u2018ABSOOIATION.- LOUE A y Very enjoyable entertainment was provided by the Teachers\u2019 Association in the yMeGiM Normel School last night, and\u2019 éésays.Royal \u2018School delivered an address .on books and art.He said that it was most important that children should be taught something of art.They should see good piotures of various kinds.Care should be taken that works of art of.real merit be observed by the young.Often calen- dans and advertisements are more artistic and correct in taste than more pretentious productions.Parents and teachers should bé on their guard, however, as to how they advertise certain things.Advertisements of tobaceo, cigars, etc., should not .be exhibited.Even if the dhtidren are not led to use the articles in question they will at least be likely to think that their use is excusable.Books whose contents are not known should not be ai- lowed to come into & family unless recommended by some reliable authority.A strange book should not be brought into a family without an introduction, any more than should a strange persom In many cases the mame of the author or even the publisher is a sufficient guaran- tes of the purity and tone of the book.Bishop Potter haf said: \u2018Do not try to read much or fast.It is no shame to confess ignorance on some subjects.\u2019 There are two highways to knowledge: Experience and books.Instruction -in the first is compulsory; in the second it is not.Mr.Oman gave a very interesting address on \u2018Tke primary teaclier as a moral artist.\u2019 eca taught that education never wholly eradicated a vice but merely modified or decreased it.But we in the nineteenth century believe that proper instruction will if imparted at a suf- ficlently early period develop children in- tp moral and good living men and women.A primary teacher ig as much entitled to bé called an artist as is an architect, a painter or a musician.A teacher should have an ideal\u2018and it should be a high one.As is tHe teacher so is the school also, as is the man or woman so is the teacdher.Teachers who are enthuslastic for their profession and begin with high ideals, often have so much trouble with boards of uneducated trustees that in disgust they abandon teaching and enter other professions or go into business.Mr.Oman \u2018thought that the primary subjects\u2014reading and writing\u2014 should not be negleoted for more abstruse subjects in any part of the school course.Where there is a state church religious instruction should be compulsory but religious instruction shonld not be enforced in the absence of an established church.rte FODDER CHEESE.A RESOLUTION AGAINST ITS MANUFACTURE THIS BPRING.\u2018The Butter and Cheese Association held \u2018a meeting at the Board of Trade yesterday, Mr.A.W.Grant in the chair.The following gentlamen were present :\u2014 Messrs.J.C.Warrington, J.A.Vail- tancourt, J.J.Kirkpatrick, J.S.Wait, J.Oliver, A.J.Brice and H.A.Hodg- son.The object of the meeting was called to discuss what action should be taken to limit, or prevent if possible, the manufacture of fodder cheese during the com- fig spring.Mr.Wadding moved a re- The rest of the afternoon was spent | The Newest Thing \u2014 For Skirts And wraps to give them the lasting stiffness.which every one desires is RIGBY PROOFED FIBRE CHAMOIS.interlined.LABEL on each yard.The Rigby process makes it non-absorbent and waterproof, but does not alter the qualities or appearance of the goods io any way.You can buy it for the same price, 85c per yard, and will enjoy an, uncrushable stiffaess and grace which even a wetting can\u2019t destroy in all garments so No imitations give good results, so find the NEW RED STAR TROUBLE IN THE cannot want it.= SALVATION ARMY Has startled the world.Our trouble is that we et our famous BOYS SCHOOL SUITS made quick enough.Our.DOUBLE .BREAST BOYS\u2019 SUITS, made from All Wool Tweeds, at $3.00, ° surpass everything heretofore attempted;

Poincare, French Minister of Education, ordered \u2018anti-alooholic instruction\u2019 to be given in the normal schooïs in which teachers ars trained, and Mr.Combes, his successor, now directs that this example shall be followed in elementary and secondarv schools.He states that the increase of drunkenness is causing anxiety.Teachers of philosophy amd political economy must therefore demonstrate ité pernicious consequences on families and states, while teachers of natural history and physiology must give proofs of the disease and of the premature death caused by it, and teachers of hygiene and chemistry must find as many opportunities as possible of uttering warnings against the abuse of alcohol.\u2018Thus from their school days, seys M.Combes, \u2018all those destined to play a role in society and especially those whio will become large employers will be impressed with the dangers of alcoholism, and will be able to warn their workmen of Ite dangers.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SEPARATE SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND.Mr.Asquith, in a recent speech, thus stated some of the grievances of village teachers in England: \u2014\u2018 In the 8,000 parishes where there are only church schoals the teacher can hardly obtain a place unless he is a member of the Churoh of England.He is often required to fulfil duties which would naturally fall to the curate, the organist or the verger,\u2018 and he is liable to dismissal at tho.caprice ol bis clergyman.Is it any wonder, asked Mr.Asquith, \u201cthat the best teachers gravitate to the Board of Common Schools ?So long as this system of petty tyranny prevails in the villages, the denominational schools have not made a case for further assistance.\u2019 13 ES ONTARIO YOUNG LIBERALS.THEY BXPRESS UNBOUNDED CONFI- DENCH IN MR.LAURIER AND SIR OLIVER MOWAT.UNALTEBABLB FEALTY TO THE BRITISH CRBOWN \u2014 THE NEW OFFICERS, Ottawa March 20.\u2014At the meeting of the Ontario Federation of Liberal Clubs hera yesterday, after addreases by the president, Mr.Stewart Lyon, of Toronto, and Messrs.Charles Russell, Ottawa, and C.T.Adams of Sault Ste.Marie, the committee om resolutions reported the following draft of resolutions for submission to the meeting, all of which were enthusiastically carried: \u2014 Moved by Mr.H.M.Mowat, Toronto, seconded by Mr.Davis, ot London: \u2014 \u2018The Young LAberals of Ontario, in convention assembled, following the patriotic examples of Parliament and the Legislature, desire to again express their unswerving loyalty to the Crown, and, also, while devoutly hoping always to live in social and oommerclal amity with both neighboring and distant peoples, we assure the Mother Country that the Young Liberals will never be found wanting should it ever be necessary to maintain the traditions of this self-respecting people in protecting Canadian homes and institutions.\u2019 The resolution was supported both by the mover and seconder in stirring speeches, which were greeted at intervals with cheers, and the resolution was carried by a standing vote, the convention singing \u2018 God Save the Queen.\u2019 The next resolution presented was as follows: \u2014Moved by Mr.O.K.Fraser, seconded by Mr.Duff, \u2018 That this convention desires to express its unbounded confidence in the distinguished leader of the Liberal party, the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier, its great admiration of his brilliant eloquence and of his noble and charming perscnal qualities, amd ts Learty accord with his broad and statesmanlike attitude on the great public questions of the day, and this convention also desiras to express its entire confidence in Ontario's Grand Old Man, Sir Oliver Mowat, and its hearty approval of his wise and careful administration of provincial affairs.\u2019 Resolutions were also carried endorsing the Liberal platform and endorsing Mr.Laurier\u2019s policy on the school question.AND OFFICERS ELECTED.The election of officers resulted as fol- fows:\u2014Hon.presidents, the Hon.Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Oliver Mowat;

Welland, Mr.J.F.Grose; & corroboration of the Crown's case.Al- Guelph, Mr.A.Stirton; Guelph, Mr.Hugh Guthrie; Uptergrove, Mr.F.J.Gillespie; Belleville, Mr.J.L.Biggar; Toronto, Messrs W.J.Elliott, J.V.R.McInnis, Stewart Lyon;
