letter, headed \u2018A Great Library for Montreal.\u2019 Mr.Hunt remarked that he had seen from the tenth vol ume of the Kncyelo- paedia Britannica that eeeneveo rer there ar.thirty public libraries, large and small, In the city.\u2018I am a pretty constant reader ot books,\u201d he wrote, \u2018and a great lover ot libraries.Yet if I had been asked a div or two ago how many public libraries there are in Montieal [ should have enswered that perhaps th-re are four or five.But to find that there are thirty fairly astonishes me.\u2018lhe only ome 1 {pow practically is Fraser's Institute.regard 7

is this\u2014that the chief fr:e public library in all Canada belongs to Toron:o, and contains 110,000 volumes.Is there anv use in asking that all the small 3 libraries in Montreal be united.and made into one magnificent public lbrary for the benefit of et'zens and visitors?1 think the good effecs of sich a pln would be immense, and architecture would glorify itself by building an institution fit to house such treasures.\u2019 ; ; In this letter Mr.Hunt voices the feelings of a very large proportion of the atizens, and to him.as to them, a little information as to the present state ot the libmrv quest'on in Montreal will be interesting.In the first place it may be as well to give a list of the public libraries at resent existing in the citv.and the ength of that Jist will no doubt

of thewe libraries are \u2018intended to res special classes of faders.The only fr libraries which .are doing work a.à popular character arg the: Fraser Insti tute, the Montreal Free Library, and the Westmount Public Library, while of the cheap subscription libraries the Bibliothèque Paroissiale de.Notre Dame, the Bibliothèque de l\u2019Union -Catholique, and the Mechanics\u2019 Institute are the more important.The Fraser Institute Library.with ite able and .devoted librarian, Mr.P.B.de Crëvecoeur, is by far the best of the popular libraries, for it is the only library which is at all times readily accessible to the public.Ite 46,000 volumes cover! the whole field of literature, and include among them many valuable books.of engravings and old Canadian books.There afe 15,000 volumes in\u2019 French.\u2014Bvery effort is made, as far as the means at the disposal of the trustees will allow, to keep the library up to date, but when it is said that $1,500 a year is all that is available for the purchase of new books and magazines for the men\u2019s and ladies\u2019 reading rooms, and for repairs and binding, it will be seen how inadequate Fraser\u2019s Institute is as the public library of a great city like Montreal.Ail honor to it, however.for the good work it has done and is doing, - Within its limited compass it is excellent.It is well kept, clean and comfortable, and, with the excellent pictures on the walls, quite attractive.: Not less commendable; though affecting a smaller class of readers, is the Ment- real Free Library, under the Jesuits\u2019 Charch, on Bleuiy street.Since its inception in 1889, this library has faithful ly pursued its original plan of supplying books, without parochial or sectarian limitations, to a large section of the English-speaking population of the city.The utility of its existence and its marvellous growth, considering its limited resources, are conclusively attested by a few figures.At its inception its catalogue consisted of 200 books, with a eir- culation of 332; in 1904, 10,000 volumes were on the shelves, with a circulation of 85,000, and now it bas 18.000 books, with a circulation of 90,000.This work | is carried on by members of the League of the Sacred Heart, and the chief source of-income is an annual afternoon tea, at which some $400 or $500 are realized.It \u2018iz aimed to provide the best in fiction, history.travel, biography.etc.and a specialty is made of juvenile literature, of which there are about 1,000 volumes.The institution has quite a number of rare old books, and is particularly rich in ancient Testaments and old Bibles that.cannot be got anywhere else in the city.There is a travelling library in connection with the institution.books being sent to thirty

present\u2019 Meehanics\u2019 Institute, was started in 1840, Mr.John hedpath being the first -presidextt.From that time until now the Institute has catered to the reading publie.At one time it had as many as: 1,800.members, but of late years the membership has been gradually - falling off, prebably owing \u2018to the movement of the population farther and farther from the business portion of St.James street, in which the Institute is situated.The members now number between 400 and 450.The stock of 15, 000 books is a useful one, and in some directions a valugble one.\u201d The reading room is supplied with 50 periodicals and newfpapers, \u2018among them being the Lon: don Times\u2019 The library is controlled by a*committee of 15 elected by the members.\u2019 By far the beat library in the city is undoubtedly that of McGill: University.The nucleus of this library was formed when, in 1855, Principal Dawson presented to the college \u2018Dodsley\u2019s Annual Register.From that day the library has grown till at present the total number of vol tmes is 110,000.While every branch of litergture and learning is represented in the library, there are more scientific, historical and \u2018biographical works than voluméa of fiction.The library build- ing-was given to the university In 1893 by the late Peter Redpath.Mrs.Peter Redpath.has since enlarged and improved the structure, which has mow a workipg capacity for 250,000 volumes and ample accommodation for 350 readers.The ust of the library 1s free to all students, except those in the Faculty of dicine, who pre supposed to deposit 1e privilege.- oe eG in not a public hbrary in the strict sense of the word, the corporation and\u2019 the committee are anxious fo make .it as serviceable to the public as lg compatible with

shown above exist in Montreal, and yet are unknown to the general public, shows how great is the need _Pfor \u2018had + Ell {for some such united effort aw is eu gested in the letter quoted at the beginning of inis article.Montreal, it is \u2018| notorjous, is lameniably behind in the- very real educational work which may J be done by means of the public library.The conception of the library militant, \u2018the library as a moving force in the world, and the librarian as # missionary In\u2019 educational work, 1s one that the \u201c city, as.a city, has not grasped.Most oi the big cites in the -United States pend in Europe, however, spend large sums annually in public library work, or they have come.to recognize that the\u201d public library is the natural complement of the school, whose work mt i reinforces enormously.In these days when democracy reigns, men need education above everything else, for ignorant ;opintons have acquired a capacity harm far beyond what they ever vefors.\u2018The appelling facility for combination and\u2019 organization which Present conditions have given to men and women constitute a great peril to society, - ünless the members of he leagues

and well-selected dees not constitute a library in -the best sense of that word.Carlyle once declared that \u2018the true university of these days is n collection of hooks.\u201d That is true, but it contains but half the truth.Garfield, in his later days, at a reunion of teachers and pupils, remarked: \u2018A pine beneh in a log cabin, with Mark, Hopkins on one end of it and myself as pupil on the other, would be more than the greatest unjversity with the most elaborate equipment.\u201d There is the other half a wee amalgumated, is feasible, remains to be: INTERIOR OF FRASER INSTITUTE,

Biscuit and Triscuit which closes to-day in the store of W.H.Scroggie & Co.And there can be no doubt that the practical demonstration has removed the prejudice from many minds that- more than wheat was used in its manufacture, After seeing their exhibit, ome is as sured that the -produet is absolutely pure from the extreme care taken in the process of preparing it.Only once does the wheat touch

dainty dishes which can be made from shredded wheat.Triscuit is made in much the same way, but only half the thickness of wheat is used in preparing them.The company, backed up by a host of food experts, claim that wheat is the most perfect food for mankind, and have | therefore specialized on this one grain.The exhibitors of shredded wheat gave a dainty luncheon on Thursday afternoon to

Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association, held to-day, | the Montreal branch of the association drew attention to the fact that supplies for the Intercolonial Railway are Ying brought into Canada free of duty from the United States.This is allowed under claure 450 of the customs tariff, and because the railway is owned and operated by the government.The amsocia- tion considers these supplies should be purchased in Canada, and that if they are not, a duty be on them.The Montreal branch asked the association to use its influence in getting the government to have clause 450 rescinded, and at the

five Chinamen in the old building suffering from the disease.A couple of them, who were convalescent, were wandering about \u2018the building when they came across the fire alarm box in the hallway of the hospital.Their curiosity caused them to :open the door and examine it.They pulled- down the hook, with the result that in less than a minute the whole of the eastern division of the fire hyi , with ambulances from all the hospitals, were hurrying towards Moreau street.While the eastern division of the brigade were surrounding the hospital, the other city stations had the horses hitehed up to the fire apparatus in cage a second alarm would be turned in.Zs Sub-Chief St.Pierre was unable to enter the hospital to send in the returm from the box .there, he had to request the nurse to

Day concert which is to be given by the; children of \u2018the ublic schools of the Protestant rd of Montreal under the direction of Mr.W.F.Smith, promises to surpass its predeces sors im many ways.Lo On May 23 there will amemble in the Arena a larger choir than has ever been trained for such concerts before., Never before have the pupils taken such an active interest in the prepmeation of the programme.Several new features will render the, entertainment very interesting.Among others, the calisthenic exercises by the girls of Mount Royal School and the boys of Aberdeen will be sure to evoke hearty applause, and.a whistling chorus by over five hundrea boys is something never befôre presented to a Montreal audience; among the other features will be the \u2018Saluting the Flag' and a funny actioñ song in which some humçr- ous effects are sectired by means of pocket handkerchiefs.Those who have had.the fortune to have seen the action song, ) \u2018The Japanese Fan,\u2019 will look forwa to this handkerchief act.Not the least impressive part of the varied evening's programme is the effect of the whole vast audience joining with the choir to sing \u2018God Save the King,\u2019 \u2018and the directors hope that every one will go prepared to sing loudly and lustily to make that itém more than ever inspiring and successful.The Montreal Amateur Orchestral Society, which did such satisfactory work two years ago, will again play the accompaniments, as well as two selections, Gounod\u2019s march from \u2018Queen of Sheba,\u2019 \u2018and German's \u2018Morris Dance.\u2019

motwithatanding \\ reinstated, he would be given an oppor- tinity to resign, and would receive cre- dentinls, the \u2018Smith\u2019 committee\u2019 was as tonished to receive the following official decision of the board last night:\u2014 \u2018We have given our best consideration to your petition, signed by so many of the rents.of the children attending the King\u2019s School, requesting us to re consider our detision arrived at after the most careful consideration, and further requesting the reinstatement of\u201d \u2018Mr.Smith as principal.\u201cWe regret that we cannot accede to their wishes, although we grestly respect them, as we are thoroughly convinced that a change at the present time is absolutely necessary in.the interests of the school.We might add that, the sole.aim of the commissioners is to bring bur\u2019 sible, and no inside influence has been allowed in any way to determine our decision.: \u2018Regarding the complaint of the refusal of testimonials, this rests entirely upon a misunderstanding between Mr.Harling and Mr.Smith, as that is a \u201cJOHN McKERGOW, \u2026 \u2018Chairman pro tem.\u2019 Not only: was this letter a surprise, but it was alo a grievous disappointment to the men who had canvassed the families with such good results.: The feeling was that the board had broken \u2018faith with them twice, and that the school commissioners were trying to get back to their original tion.The explanation by the board was pot regarded as at all satisfactory.: Later in the evening Mr.À.I.Morrison telephoned Mr.McKergow, who stated that the verbal promise regarding an opportunity + resign and credentials would be adhe to.- The committee drew up this resolution in regard to the board's communication: \u2018That thie committee hus received with feelings of surprice the letfer of the school commissioners with reference to\u2019 the reinstatement of Mt.Smith-äs principal of the King's School.We would if a petition were obtained signed by a large majority of parents, Mr.Smith's reinstatement would follow.The éom- mittee considers that it has more than fulfiled the conditions, and, in their opinion, the wishes of an overwhelming majority of the parents have been treated with scant respect: \u2018That in the letter referred to, mo mention is made of the decision communicated to two members of this commit- | tee, that Mr.Smith should be allowed \u2018 to resign, and that then testimonials would be furnished him; \u2018This committee, therefore, feels that it is unable to accept the commissioners\u2019 letter ps satisfactory, and adhere to their former conviction regarding the unjustifiable conduct of the board towards Mr.Smith; \u2018This committee also takes decided objection to the language used by Mr.Thomas Harling, chairman of the board, when speaking to Mr.Smith, as being of :a mest undignified character.\u2019 The Rev.Mr.Doull declared that at.least ome thing had been accomplished, and that was that the public of West-: mount were awakened from their pitiful indigerence regarding school matters.In: the future they would want to know more about education boards and educational matters in general.It was also peinted out that there was not a member of the board who lived in the King\u2019 School district; in fact, all the commissioners were centred in two wade.The committee thought this unfair.Instead of disbanding, they mere ly adjourned, that, en future occasions, | they might work together for the educational progress of Westmount.MCOILL MATTERS GOVERNORS MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND ANNOUNCE GIFTS.- At

headquarters of the Canadian Institute, that no man should be allowed to exer | cise thef ranchise in this country -until he had undergone three courtes of military training.He presented a resolution,

required to receive instruction in the use of arms.He noted with satisfaction that, among others, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Roberts and the members of the National Service League were all advocating earnestly the same prinei- ple.He asked the approval of this by the association, and its submission to the Minister of Militia.BAPTIST MISSIONS QUESTION OF UNION OF CHURCH FOREIGN MISSION

Prince of Wales's crown is a tuft of feathers tipped with gold, said to be worth £10,000.Lhe feathers took twenty years to collect, and cost the lives of a dozen hunters The bird from whose tail the feathers are plucked are called the feriwah, a sort of creature of the bird of paradise species, but of the rarest kind.\u2018To obtain the tail feather in its full beauty it 1s necessary to pluck it out of the living bird, as instantly after death the plumage becomes lugtreless.What makes the hunting of the feriwah so dangerous is that the bird always frequents the haunts of tigers.\u2014

effects of moon and stars on the weather: \u2019 \u2018There is (he says) no more persistent popular belief than that which connects the moon with the weather, yet when a critical comparison is made between changes of the moon and changes of weather, the only support that can be found for the belief is that which is obtained from the laws of chance.The moon changes or enters a new phase every seventh day, but in the British Isles the weather rarely remains the same more than three days, so that change of weather must often coincide with change of the moon, but this does not show that one phenomenon is the cause of the other.\u2019 Logically, it would be just as true, Professor Gregory adds, to conclude from the coincidence that our weather catises the moon to change as that the lunar phases determine the character .of the weather.As for the stars and planets, the view that \u2018these exert an influence upon the weather is a survival of the days of as trology: \u2018So far as the stars are concerned, the positions they will occupy at ten o'clock to-night will be practically the same as will be presented at the same time a hundred years hence.Certain groups of stars are visible at particular seasons, but they have nothing whatever to do with the cause of the seasons, which would, indeed, be of precisely the same character as they are now even if every, star in the sky ceased to shine.The stars are, in fact, adds Professor Gregory, much too far removed from the Solar System to take any part in causing weather changes.THE CZAR\u2019S REMARKABLE WATCH There is in the possession of the Czar a very remarkable watch.It was made by a Polish mechanic named Jules Cur- zon.The late Czar had heard some wonderful tales about the inventive ability of this man, and, wishing personally to test his skill, he sent him a parcel containing a few copper nails, some wood chippings, a piece of broken glass, an old cracked china cup,\u2018some wire, and a few cribbage-board pegs.Accompanying tais was a command to make them into a timepiece.Within a remarkably short | time the Czar received them back in the shape of a watch.The case was msde of china, and the works of the other odds and ends.So pleased and astonished was the Czar that he sent for the man, conferred several distinctions upon him, and granted him a pension.\u2014London \u2018Tatler.The wild Manchurian ginseng, such as is sent to the Emperor of China, costs from $650 to $800 gold per pound.The imported American ginseng brings only $5 to $30 per pound.nA MS i end tp LT ee Dn NE me \\ Uhe Daily

em- !ploy of the city: \u2018Having lcarned that j Ad.Lariviere has accused the collectors lof the city, or 2¢ least some of them, of + having made arrdngements with the tax- | payers with the object of augmenting i their commission, we, the undersigned | coilectors in the employ of the city, deny this allegation most emphatically, and pray you to institute an enequiry into the accusation and, if possible, bring | about the disclosure of the guilty party, if there is any.\u201d = \u2026 - Ald.Carter said that no good could ba done by discussing the matter in the Finance Committee, and moved thac the letter be sent to the City Council for tire latter to take such action as it thought \u2018it.N The committee approved of this course | being taken.À FOUNDLING .INSTITUTION.- Dr.Laberge, medical health officer, appeared before the committee to support hiz yclaim! for the use of ome ot the houses belonging to the city on Mount «Royal avenue for the purposz of cetab- lishing therein a foundlhings\u2019 home and bureau.He went over the sume ground that he had covered in ihe Parks and Ferries Committee, and strongly urged \u2018the committee to accede to his proposal.Ald.Payette, chairman oi the commt- tee, said that the applicat'on might have its merits, but that the city charter prohibited the establishment of nny auch institution on Mount Royal park property.How is it that we have never heard of these foundlings before now?Dr.Laberge\u2014It is very unforlumte that vou bave not heard of them before.We have mine or ten children on our hands-now, who could be placed if there were any one to adopt them.If we cannot get this house for a foundlings\u2019 home, we shall be obliged to appeal to the charity of the general public for their support.Ald.Carter pointed out that for the A he said, was the same as that mentioned by Ald.Payette the other day, and the judgment was rendered on the evidence of two civic employees, who had testified that the city Roads Department had taken no notice of repeated applications to have a sewer which smelled badly attended to./ \u20181 do not think we ought simply to let this letter lie on the table and take no action about it,\u201d sud Ald.Carter.\u2018Let us find out who the guilty party is\u2019 (Ald.De Serres\u2014Ha.f the damages the city pays is through the negligence of its employees.Ald.Robinson\u2014If a man is employed by a private person and neglects his duty, he is d\u2018acharged.Ald.De Serres\u2014Oh, but that is rot the way they do things here.Not at all.i We had a man suspended fo: an irregu- j larity last year.He admitted the j charge, but he is still in the employ of | the city.Ald.L.A.Lapointe\u2014If I knew that a | man had stolen from the city and was | in the city's employ still, and that his salary had teen raised by this committee, I would resign my seat at once.1 had nd kuowledge of any such thing.Ald.De Serres\u2014Ald.Lapointe knows?very well to what I am referring.he knows all about it., Ald.Carter\u2014 I would certainly find out who was the man guilty of this negligence, and I would discharge him within five minutes.Ald.Payette\u2014It \u2018s very difficuit to find out the.guilty party in these cases.Ald, Larviviere offered the explanauon that the suit was taken agains: the city by one J.E- Desjardins.On the motion of Ald.Carter.it was decided to obtain: a\u2019 coby of the judgment and forward it to the Roads Department.fg STAND COLLAP3%D FIVE DELEGATES TO THE PRES BYTERIAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT DES.MOINES INJURED.Des Moines, Ia, May 18\u2014Five commissioners to the Presbyterian General Assembly \u2018were bruised this aiternoou by the collapse of a stand which had been erected tor the purpese of grouping the cummissioners thereon for a kirge photograph.The injured are: Dr.C.Lukins, Rosewell, N.M.; Rev.W.U.David, Monogah, W.Va.hip bruised; George Wiils, Mendota, 1lls., back injured and rendered temporarily unconscious; tie Rev.J.M.MeGaughey, Charlton, le, leg sprained; the Rev.W.C.Buell, Taos, N°M., back bruised, The Rev.Mr.Da- past ten years people living in the vicinity of the house in question had been j-ctitioning the city to demolish it.The committee decided to refuse the permission asked, on he ground that, ihe city charter did not allow of the.house being used for the purpose l'equir- cd, and also because the inhabitants in the neighborhood had petitioned for its demolition.TO ATTRACT INDUSTRIES.The letter from the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association, urging the City Council to take steps to attract manufac- \u2018turing industries to Montreal, which was read at the last meeting of the City Council, and was referred to the Finance Committee, came up for consideration.Ald.Sadler said that the association was continually receiving applications from manufacturers in the United States and in other countries as to the condition of affairs here.He thought it would be wise for the city of Mont real to have a pamphlet prepared, setting forth, in an intelligent and accurate statement, the facts concerning the city from the point of view of companies that might be inclined to set up here, As a matter of fact, he knew that the representatives of the Singer Company had been here, and had been scared by the allegations that taxation here was high, that it included a machinery tax, and all that sort of thing.\u2018There is every reason to believe that the change from Montreal to St.John has not been entirely satisfactory to them,\u2019 he continued, \u2018and if we had been able to give them some kind of intelligent information, the chances are we should have a two-million dollar plant now situated in Montreal\u2019 Ald.Sadler then moved a resolution that the committee recommend the council to form a sub-commit- tee to prepare statistics that would give the necessary information.Ald.L.A.Lapointe seconded the motion, remarking that the city of Hamilton employed a gentleman to do mfoth- ing else but write to all firms all over the world who were known to be moving their factories, and to induce them to settle in Hamilton, by holding forth on the inducements which that city presented, in regard to location, power, etc.\u2018We ought to do something of the kind here,\u2019 he continued.\u2018I do not mean to advdcate the giving of bonuses ar exemptions from taxation.The motion was adopted.TO PURCHASE \u2019 TURNPIKE ROAD.The municpality of Notre Dame des Neiges wrote asking the committee to recommend the City Council to assist it in taking over the turnpike road which passed through the municipality by paying the interest, at six percent, on two and a half miles of road at $4,000 a mile, the municipality undertaking to maintain the road in good order.; It was resolved to communicate vith other towns with the object of obtaining their views as to the abolition of toll gates in this district by united action, Ald.L.A.Lapointe remarking that there should not be apy turnpike roads on the island, and that the existing turnpike roads were not even kept in good condition.DID WITNESSES TELL THE TRUTH?Ald.Carter brought up a letter from the city attorney, stating that éhe city had been condemned in $30 damages and costs in the Superior Court.This case, vid is the most seriously injured, aad he is under a physician's care to-night, al though his mjuries age not critical.The other injured men will be able to resume their seats in the assembly to-morrow.There were a thousand men on the plat form when it fell.Considerable excitement followed the accident, bu: calmness was restored in a few minutes.AGAINST THE TRUSTS CLEVELAND.ICE DEALERS INDIGT- ED FOR VIOLATION OF THE \u2019 LAW.Cleveland, May 18\u2014Fhe grand jury today returned

19.\u2014As soon as the House opened yesterday the Prime Minister offered a resolution in the following terms: \u2018Whereas, specific charges have been made by members of this House from their seats to the effect that the supplies which, in the summer of 1903, were purchased by the Department of Marine and Fisheries for the government steamer \u2018Arctic\u2019 were not all put on board the said steamer, but were in part diverted for other uses, by and for tue benefit of persons still unknown; \u2018And whereas like charges have been made that excessive prices were corrupk- ly paid for said purchases, and that, in consequence of pecuniary benefits thereof being received by officials of the said pointed to enquire fully into all circum- gtances connected with the purghase of said supplies and the disposal of the same, and other matters above mentioned, with authority to send for persons, papers, and records, and to examine witnesses under oath or affidavit, and that the said committee do report in full the evidence taken before them, and all other proceedings under this reference.\u2019 The Premier explained that this motion was comsequent upon the debate that took place in the House on Wednesday evening, when several members asserted that the quantity of supplies purchased and paid for out of the coun- trys money could not possibly have been accommodated in the hull of the steamer \u2018Arctic\u2019 Sir Wilfrid remarked that as a rule he was not inclined to attach much importance to statements made under circumstances like these in the heat of debate.But when an assertion like Dr.Reid's was put forward in such an emphatic manner and repeated again and again, the House was bound to take notice of it in order that those making the charges should have every opportunity to make good their statements.If the statements were well-founded, it meant that a fraud of the worst charac: ter had been perpetrated upon the coun- .Statements had been made also in debate that prices paid for theee supplies were extravagant, and that the payments had been made corruptly.Under these circumstances he considered that these charges formed a proper pubject for investigation.On \u2018the same occasion when the charges had been made concerning the supplies for the \u2018Arctic,\u2019 the supplies purchased for the furnishing of the \u2018Montcalm\u2019 came in for criticism, but that criticism was of a different character from the other.It was simply to the effect that the goods bought for the \u2018Montcalm\u2019 were of a most lux- keeping with the character of the steamer for which they were provided.Therefore, he did not think it advisable to include this matter in the present motion.The latter was a matter with which the committee in public acts could deal if they thought fit.i.The leader of the Opposition answered that in the debate of Wednesday evening charges were made affecting the whole administration of the Marine Department.After public uneasiness had been aroused concerning the whole administration of this important department, the Premier bravely proposed that the investigation should be limited in Truly, this was a remarkable demonstration of courage.Surely the right honorable gentleman must be aware that Mr.Taylor bad made specific charges regarding the purchase of boilers purchased by the Marine Department.Dr.Reid, of Grenville, had made charges of a damaging character regarding supplies of coal and disbursements for the \u2018King Edward.\u2019 It had been charged that companies were formed from time to time solely for the purpose of carrying on business with the government.One of these companies, the Eastern Supply Company, had been organized in the city of St.John\u2019s, Newfoundland, where little could be ascertained concerning it beyond the fact that one of its principal members was a leading Liberal of Nova Scotia.\u2018These, said Mr.Borden, \u2018were matters that directly concerned the public interest.How would any great corporation in the country carry on its business if, instead of having an efficient purchasing agent, it depended for the purchae of its supplies on companies apparently created for the very purpose of takipg their orders?Would they not at least want to know what profits such supply houses were making on their orders?And yet the Finance Minister, the watchdog of the treasury, had been contending before the Public Accounts Committee this week that government contractors could not be compelled to - state the prices they had themselves paid for the goods they were furnishing to the public departments.- The pretty unanimous feeling on both sides of the House, said Mr.Borden, was that public supplies in any large quantities should be urchased in the open market by tender and contract.That principal was already recognized in the Public Works Department.Some of Sir Wilfrid Laurier\u2019s colleagues and their departments had manifested the -| most absolute contempt for public opin- jon in this matter of the purchase of public supplies.In this very Department of Marine the public returns Motion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier for an Investigation of

the steamer \u2018Arctic,\u201d $118,582 had been gpent in supplies - without any tender or' competition.Altogether the Government had purchased goods without tender \u2018last .year to an amount of $1,196,081, consisting chiefly of supplies for the Marine Department.Mr.Borden censured the Government for delay in sending the expedition, say- \u201cing that it held the boat for nine months.The administration had not : answered the criticism of the method of : supplying the \u2018Arctic\u2019 There had been $1,196,081 expended for repairs to the ship and the equipment for the voyage, all without tenders.In the face of this \u2018it was absurd to think that the House > would be satisfied with an inquiry simply covering the cubic capacity of the .vessel.Mr.Borden contended that the .Government had departed from the pol- ley laid down in the Ottawa platform when it declared for economy.He read the account for supplies for the ice : breaker \u2018Montcalm,\u2019 which, he held, also f showed extravagances |; As an amendment to the Premier's motion, Mr.Borden proposed \u201chat:\u2014 A committee of seven members be appointed to inquire into and investigate the expenditure of public money in or | by the Department of Marine and Fish- tries, from and after June 30, 1902, and to enquire whether any abuses, irregularities, improvidence, of maladministration has occurred in respect of such expenditures, and whether any person employed in or connected with the said Department has profited thereby, and further, that additional safeguards should be provided in respect of the expenditure of public money in or by the said Department, and to report upon the I tnatters aforesaid.\u2019 +: The Hon.George E.Foster said the ; Prime Minister treated the least es- : sential of the charges against the Government.There was a system in the ë whols-admimistration.When the Prime f Minister saw the tide of indignation rising he granted an investigation in a few phases of the complaint.When the Opposition took its case to the publica tion and other committees, the Prime Minister resorted to another expedient.He instructed the chairman to rule that the witness should not answer.Mr.' Foster alluded to the inquiry into the North Atlantic Trading Company as an ézample of burking an inquiry, : The Finance Minister invited Mr.Fos r to stick to the question before the ouse.The charges concerning the rétie™ rere\u2019 of an especially grave na- \u2018end warranted the.creation of a dl\" committee to investigate them.|-4f thère were other charges to be looked into, the Public Accounts Committee was there to deal with them.As for the North Atlantic Trading Company contract enquiry, there was no attempt to burk the fullest investigation.e, Mr.Preston had refused to disclose the personnel of the company, and bad been upheld in so doing, but parliament was aware of Lord Strathcona\u2019s letter stating that upon no consideration whatever should these names be made known.The reason was obvious, The agents had to carry on their work secretly, and deserve the protection of the \u2018other party to the contract when this protection was promised.Besides, what did it matter to Canada who were the members of the company so long as the immigrants came in such numbers?Mr.E.M.Macdonald, of Pictou, deprecated the attempt of the Opposition members to set the country aflame by insinuations against the honor of the late Minister of Marine and Fisheries.Similar charges had been made before this gession, and when they were probed in committee it was shown that there was not the slightest ground for an imputation.Mr.Macdonald remarked that if officials of the Magne Department learned tricks, it was from the late government which employed them.It might be that the time had come to lop off \u2018the mouldering branches.The Minister of Marine expressed his desire for the fullest enquiry into the charges concerning the \u2018Arctic.\u2019 1f there was anything said against the Marine Department, why did not the members come out boldly and make the accusations?He regarded it as a cowardly act to reflect on the late Minister of Marine after he had passed away.The Opposition leader had an opportunity to make his charges when Mr, Prefontaine was in the House, but bad never done 80.A vote on Mr.Borden's amendment resulted in its defeat by 45 to 87.Sir Wilfrid's motion for the investigation of the case of the \u2018Arctic\u2019 then passed without one dissenting voice.At the evening sitting the House pase ed a couple of private bills, and then passed into committee on the votes for the Hydrographic Survey and for the Fisheries Department.AN ADJOURNMENT NEXT WEEK.The Prime Minister gave notice last night of an adjournment of the Commons

esteem in which he is held by us associates in the Upper Chamber.On behalf of the Conservavive Senators, the Hon.Mr.de Boucherville presented Sir Mackenzie with a beautiful hall clock, \u2018As a mark of esteem, affection and confidence in you as a leader of the Conservative party for nearly half a century.\u2019 In accepting the gift, Sir Mackenzie said he regarded it as a mark \u2018of

conduct hadi been such as to meet with the approval of those with whom he had been associated.A PROVINCE FOR SEVEN SHILLINGS.The story of how the [Hudsons Bay Co.rented Vancouver Island for seven shillings a year is told by Harold Sands in the May \u2018Canadian Magazine\u2019: lt is always an important event in the life of the individual colony when the first stirrings toward self-government are felt.In some cases parents supply the initial promptings with the idea that an appearance of standing alone may be given to the youngster who 1s really made all the more dependant.Thus it was with the British Columbia in 1849.The Hudson's Bay Company, driven from Oregon by \u2018American ma- rauders\u2014to use a phrase by a United States writer\u2014saw that the legislators in England were casting an eye toward this very far away, very wild and very little Britain.little, that is to say as far as population went.The directors therefore laid plans to secure their power while seemin ly al lowing the growing Coast to stand upon its own feet.It is a curious coincidence that the man in charge In Downing street of things colonial in those days was Earl Grey, an ancestor of the present Governor-General of Canada.While satisfied with obtaining practical sovereignty of British Co umbia, for a time.the company, in its negotiations with Lord Grey.aimed far higher.Tt intimated that it was \u2018willing to undertake the government and colonization of all the territories be- i Crown in North America.and received a grant accordingly.\u2019 So startling a proposal naturally staggered Downing street.even in the days when it was customary to speak of \u201cthose wretched colonies.\u201d and the Crown promptly suspended negotiations.After an interval the company returned to the attack wth the more modest s\u2018atement that it \u2018was willing to accent that part of the territory west of the DAE I Se pared ed with a handsome testimonial ot the \u2018Crown re wit Ae Rocky Mountains, or even Vancouver Islan d alone,\u2019 although it remarked that placing the whole territory north of the 49th lel under ome governing power would have simplified arrangements.\u2019 Despite the opposition of (rladstone and the leading London newspapers, the Hudson\u2019s Bay Company was made lord and proprietor of Vancouver Islafd, sub- ect only to the domination f the ritish Crown, and to the yearly payment of seven shillings as rent.The charter which was dated Jan.13, 1849, stipulated that the appointment of Governor was vested in the Crown.It also said that the lease of the island was \u2018forever,\u2019 but events proved that Mr.Gladstone and others had much reason for their opposition, and the \u2018forever\u2019 became nine years only.The great year of gold, 1858, really was the last of the great monopoly as such.It may be mentioned that almost immediately after the grant was made the nted it, and Lord Elgin, Governor-General.reported disparagingly of the company as a raler in the Red River district; but its course on the coast was an improvement, being spoken of as without flagrant offence or outrageous wrong, and even marked by much kindness and humanity.which is no mean praise for a monopoly.\u2014r\u2014 \"MILITARY PENSIONS.The Minister of Militia has given notice of legislation to allow officers and \u2018non-mos\u2019 of the Imperial Army

record that during the previous negotiations for cheap gas an offer was submitted to the city on behalf of some capitalists on the lime that if the present gas plant and equipment were expropriated the offerers would guarantee four percent on the cost.This offer was made by Mr.J.N.Green- shields.The Bemis report estimates the present gas plant at less than three mil- lon dollars, so that a company operating it on a rental of four percent would galy need a small operating capital of y two hundred to two hundred and fty thousand dollars to buy coal and to gover monthly running accounts and wages.Now, as Toronto stockholders get ten percent over maintenance on their .eapital, supplying gas at eighty cents, it goes without saying that it could be done here, in a more compact city.The gum would work out therefore about as follows: \u2014 Cost to city of present plant .with needed improvements.$4,000,000 Four percent on above.160,000 Toronto profit on above cost cat 10 percent.400,000 Annual net profit.$240,000 This shows a net profit to the contraet- ing company of nearly a hundred per- tent on a working capital of $250,000.But if a new company Detted only half or a quarter of that, many of our citi- gens would be glad to go in and invest capital in such a venture.Even a ten percent dividend would mean a doubling oi the value of the capital put into such en cnterprise, as five percent is considered a good return in an ordinary way.Moncy on deposit in the banks only brings in three percent.We are assured that capital could be secured on the street for such a venture in twenty-four hours.We should prefer a new municipal gas plant, but the expropriation of the present plant and the leasing of it for a short term, as suggested, would be for better than any terms the city is likely to have thrown at it by the combine.Fixty cents is the rate at which the citizens could supply themselves if they established a municipal! plant.Freedom from the Light, Heat & Power combine is, however, the point most of all to be insiated on.It is easy to understand why amnesty for political offenders should be the first demand of the Hussian Uouma.\u2018the number of such persons in exile 15 variosuly estimated, some writers on he revoluticnary press placing 1t at over a million, including those who bave fled to foreign countries to escape arrest, as well as those sent to Siberia end confined in the many prisons throughout Russia proper.\u2018lhe ma J jority belong to what is called the party of lutellectuais, er educated class, who are most hated by the burzaucruts because of their liberalism end \u201cntlu- ence in the achools and universities.As these exiles ere ail leaders in their several localities opposed to the autocracy, their return would greatly strengthen the popular movement, a reason guite sufficient to cause the government to hesitate before granting a general amnesty.lt was always a part ot the policy of repression to strike down, OT remove, the patura] leaders of the people, and, to carry it out more eifec- tually, secret police tribunals were es tablished apart from the regular courts.By this means the late M, de Plehve sons to prison and Stberia.It 18 only natural that the families of these exiles and prisoners should demand ther liberation as the first earnest ot the good intent:ons of the government.Amnesty for agrarian offences being included in that demand, the peasantry is as united in its support as the lntel- lectuals.This unity will go far to compel the concession, for the government cannot risk alienating the masses by refusing amnesty, or otherwise punishing the leaders of recent egrarian uprisings.\u2018Lhe Council of the Empire appears to have yielded to the necessity thus imposed, but to a less extent than demanded by the Douma.A sugges tion of compromise may result, but the intimate connection of amnesty with the passionate and unalterable determination of the peasants to obtain \u201cLand and Liberty, wili make al attempts at compromise extremely difficult, if not impossible, \u2014\u2014\u2014 An impressive revelation of the influence of the liquor traffic on the perpetration of crime has been made in San Francisco.By a unanimous vote of the Police Commissioners all saloon licenses in the city were revoked.The proprietors of these places had begun to build temporary shacks in the devastated district to resume the sale of intoxicants, when the order was issued, and they had to suspend the work.Good order was thereafter easily maintained, and Mayor Schmitz attributes the absence of crime since the conflagration to the fact that the edict againet the selling of liquor had been rigidly enforced.The commissioners supported what was said by the Mayor, with the unanimous opinion that the future -wel- fare of the city would be enhanced by largely reducing the number of drinking Dlaces, thus upholding the proposition that the fewer the saloons the less prevalence of crime.The fact that in all cities these resorts are most numerous in the least respectable districts has a bearing on this question which should be taken into consideration by the licensing authorities.It would be hard to find a reason why the temptations ealoons offer should be multiplied in parts of cities where the poverty of the residents should suggest that they be minimized.On the other hand, the principle of local option should prevail to exclude them altogether from those districts that do not want them.The criminal thing in our system is the idea which governs the .commissioners, that in the interests of sthe government a given number must be granted, and that places must be found for those somewhere.There is no such requirement in the law.wherefore the commissioners are fully responsible for every individual license they grant.\u2014 Yellow journalism has had its day, in the opinion of Mr.Albert Pulitzer, proprietor of the New York \u2018World its putative father.He thinks sensationalism has wearied the public with froth and fury, and that there is a demand for a return to samty in the manner of presenting the news and of commenting on passing events.To prove his sincerity, he says he will start another paper in New York on lines the reverse of his course with the \u2018World.\u2019 He is disgust ed with the dullness of the yeHows, which is accentuated, not relieved, by flaring headlines and the ghastly stupidity of comic supplements.Mr.Pulitzer seems to forget that yellow journalism, a name bestowed upon it by the late Mr.Dana, of the \u2018Sun,\u2019 in reference to the \u2018Yellow Kid\u2019 abomination that flourished so long in the \u2018World was a passing phase of extravagance confined to a few, and these the least reputable, newspapers.While he and his imitators were cultivating it for what there was in it, the sensible reading public was supplied with papers containing all the news, ably edited and conducted with the sanity, a return to which, he says, the public demands.These, though they never obtained the circulation of the sensational papers, did not lose ground during the yellow craze and are stronger and more influential now than ever.Mr.Pulitzer need not start another paper to make reparation for his yellow sins.Hia declared intention to do so only shows his conceit in imagining that he is \u2018It\u2019 in New York journalism\u2014the only pebble on the oD ea pp SI re SEA A ne ot mS Te TN SS ae CS iL TEE TL J Y : PY ig seid to have sent sixty thousand per- THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS beach, as his own kid might say.Sanity and common sense existed before he raised the yellow flag, flourished while he waved it and will continue undisturbed whether he hauls it down or tries to re verse his bedlamite methods in a new venture.His change of heart may be accepted, however, as a good sign of reviving sobriety of thought in a large class of newspaper readers, and more likely to cause them to read papers which have always preserved their sanity in preference to those that only have lucid intervals.PUBLIC TIDINESS, A Street Railway authority, on being challenged with regard to the unattractive condition of out of town termini, said that there is less love of tidiness among our people than in other communities, many of which have learned to take a pride in keeping public resorts in order, while ours seem to lake a positive rleasure in scattering greasy papers and other offensive relics.\u201d It is plain that there are two parties to blame when a resort beccmes thus offensive, the management and the public.It is also plain that without the co-operation of the public the management has no enviable task.This matter is a very important one as an element of civilization.The same people who are untidy in suburban parks are untidy everywhere else.We still see half oranges, dust and papers thrown out of front doors.We still see\u2019 the practice of continual spitting not only out doors, but in all public offices, as though it was a necessary part of life, We still see the back-dvor premises of houses revealing a spirit of indifference to tidiness which must strike people from cld world cities with astonishment.Wg) are not wishing to add to the complica: tions of school courses; but one thing that should be taught in school is the duty of the individual to the public.In\u2018 the abstract this is the only thing tha fhould be taught at the public expensÿ, On no other ground is there any more abstract right in taking public money fok, teaching children than there is for feedé ing and clothing them.The public schosf rests on the fact that the state is bond to see that the children are fitted to cxercise their public duties and sre inspired with a pride in their performance.It is therefore no by-product but a staple of public school education when schools devote time and thought to inculcating a sense of public duty and a: zeal for the public good.In parts of the United States there are societies for.promoting the spirit of public tidiness: through the schools, with the most bene! ficient results.On the other Band i] little better public organization would, do a great deal to mend matters.In Paris or Berlin, if a policeman sees either 8 butcher's driver or a tourist throwing a paper on the street he makes him pick it up under penitential cireum- stances.Our police force is neither pervasive nor instructed enough to do such service.Even so, we need nat have our streets decoraled with scraps of paper\u2014a hundred to the hundred feet \u2014if it was the charge of a number of men, incapacitated for more severe work, to go about a given number of streets each and with a little hook lift all such rubbish into a sack.It is surely lime we took more imter:st than we do in making our city and its surroundings at- tractave.HALF A MILL FOR SCHOOLS.At the recent meeting of the Protestant Committee at Quebec, Mr.John Whyte gave the following notice of motion: \u2014 That inaemuch as elementary education in this province js in an unsatisfactory condition, due in large measure to lack of funds to engage duly qualified teachers, and provide comfortable school houses and sufficient equipment and apparatus for teaching purposes, thie committee hereby respectfully requests the Provincial Legislature to impcee a small tax of half a mill on the dollar upon all taxable real estate in the provinc: held by persons professing the Protestant faith, and that the amount arie- ing from the collection of such aseessment pe devoted to the improvement of Protestant elementary education du accordance with such regulations as this committee may from time to time make, subject to the approval of the Lieutenant-Governor- in Council.Mr.Whyte presented figures showing the effect of similar leg'slation elsewhere on this continent.Several months ago we drew attention to the case of New York state.where some four mil lions a year are collected by direct tax from the whole of the property of the state.The chief part of this is raised from the cities, while most of it goes to the rural schools.The small tax proposed by Mr.Whyte would amount to about sixty-five thousand dollars a year, and as the greater number of the Protestant elementary schools are in the rural districts the greater part of the tax would go to the strengthening of them.That is where the money is needed.The whole question of efficiency in the rural schools is summed up, as the Rev.Dr.Shaw and others have urged, in the one question of money.More aid is needed if our schools are to enjoy anything in proportion to the aid given in other provinces of the Dominion, and in most of the states of the American rar.union.The difficulty has been where the money was to come from, Mr.yte showed by reference to the minutes that for years the Protestant Committee has been urging the importance of this question upon succes sive governments, and had also urged that the distribution of the existing grants should be more directly under their control that it might be used in conformity with fixed principles as a stimulus to local effort.The finances of the province, however, have not permitted of any real and substantial increase to elementary education, a lack which has practically placed that part af our system out of the reach of the Committee supposed to be charged with it, and which is now charged with neglecting it.As a natural consequence, local contributions have not increased with the inoreasing prosperity of the country, and teachers\u2019 salaries bave not advanced as they should have done.Mr.Whyte, therefore, proposes that the committee should recommend to government a direct tax upon all the Protestant property of the province.Halt a mill on the dollar, or five cents on the hundred dollars, would yield about sixty-five thousand dollars\u2014a sum sufli- cient, one would hope, to stimulate and encourage our six or seven hundred rural schools.In effect, the direct tax would be equivalent in principle to the Jaw in Ontario, which fixes the minimum amount that shall be levied for education in county, township and school districts.In Ontario, however, and elsewhere the law goes further and determines the minimum salary for the teacher.This also might follow for our Protestant schools in the event of the direct aid being substantially increased.There are obvious difficulties 4bout taxing the Protestant panel alone, and what about the neutral panel?There are Protestants so utterly without soul and so indifferent to their reputation as to transfer their names to the Homan Catholic pane] if thereby they can save a few dollars.Such mean money can surely teach no good morals.But these problems are not insoluble if the people are willing, which possibly they will be, when they realize that the cities will be.paying for the country, as no doubt the cities should.The Quebec \u2018Chronicle\u2019 is very angry, and says it is altogether unfair to tax the cities for the benefit of the rural districts, We disagree entirely.It requires a much higher rate of taxation in rural parts to secure equally good schools.1t 1s a principle of all democratic taxation to make those better off help those whose conditions are less: favorable.The people of the cities cannot afford to have the rural population uneducated, The proposal will doubtless come in for a good deal of discuesion during the next few months, and in the meantime Mr.F' Whyte is to be congratulated on having brought it forward in what appears, from the synopsis reported in the press, to have been an able and clear presentation.re A PEOPLE'S LIBRARY.We are not among those who think that the library will bring the millennium.Mr.Larnard, the Buffalo librarian, thinks that when the great day of mutual good wil comes the cheif credit of its achievement will fall 40 the promoters of public libraries.Just think where that places the festive Carnegie! He thinks, however.that it is pot the library by itself that is going to accomplish this, but the library with a man in it.The man in the library is certainly in a better position to judge this question than we are.But we should think he must base his optimistic view more upon ideal conditions than on those which he sees around him.He would orobably have to admit that even in Buffalo the mass of the people never enter the doors of the library, and that, of those who are readers, the great majority confine their interest very much to the lightest of reading or to what they can treat as light reading.The total of light reading may have a balance of good in its favor, though it is largely produc tive of mental indolence and laxity.His hope must rest with the expectation that an intelligent appetite and stomach for bracing and educative reading will be gradually developed as edu- caticn becomes more general and more solid.Even then, the new condition would seem to depend more on the school than on the library.We need not enter on the greater question how far education is promotive of better moral conditions.It is debateable whether men are morally any better for culture .Nero was a cultured man in a cultured age.It is certain that though Puritanisin has had an age-long contrrovesy with art, men will certainly be better educaved and more cultured as the result of better moral conditions.It is certain also that the redemption of the world must come frem another source than the library.On the other hand 1t can hardly be denied that, if knowledge has directly contributed tomparatively Jittle to vittue, it has served an infinite purpose in undermin- ing religious systems, which have been | the strongholds of error and of false moral standards, and has thus beeen the {forerunner which by exploding the most stubborn obstacles io progress has prepared the way for the triumph of truth and of the Kingdom of Heaven.It is right that religion should be most solicitous as to the sources and channels of knowledge, but true religion will have no fear of the spread of knowledge.It will always be a promoter of knowledge and will have an abiding faith in the old maxim that truth is the greatest thing and must prevail, Leaving abstract questions aside, no one will question that a free public library has become an essential condr tion of modern progress and that, without it and without the appetite tor 1ts contents, communties will lag behind in the race, for in these days life 13 à race, in which, as a Scottish proverb puts it, the devil takes the hindmost.lt should therefore be a first concern with all patriotic people that this want ghould be abundantly met.A corres- \u2018pondent has raised an enquiry as to the actual supply of public libraries In Montreal, which has prompted an enquiry on our part, the Interesting result of which will be found in this paper.Our correspondent, with a fine superiority to men\u2019s right, both to their professions and to their prepossessions, wants to have all these united into one.This is obviously impoesible.The most that could be done would be a community of catalogue, with an ethcient messenger service.\u2018l'his has been made to work elsewhere.But even that could not be done without a considerable outlay, \u2018I'he maintenance of an available catalogue is hal the cost ot operating a library and the added complexity of the proposed system would require on the one hand, a reatly valuable book supply at each centre, and on the other a really live demand.It \u2018would probably be found that a good number of the libraries whose existence we have, go to speak, discovered, would, what with duplication, what with et- feteness, add little or nothing to the general fund.It is plain that what is wanted is a great popular public library, Such a library might not need to supply iiself with a duplication ot the magnificent collection at MaGill.There might well be co-operation in expensive and rarely consulted books on the one hand, and in the use ot the Popular collection on the other.scl BRITISH EDUCATION BILL.Mr.Catruthers, in his letter to-day upon religion in English schools, says we did not touch upon the point he made in his letter of Wednesday.That point, be says, was that \u2018the present ir- \u201critation of Anglicans towards the bill \u2018is not on account of its provisions for \u2018simple Bible teaching, but on account \u2018of the fact that the bill is aimed dis- \u2018tinctly and definitely at depriving the \u2018 Church of twelve thousand elementary \u2018schools, built by churchmen at a cost \u2018of two hundred miilion dollars\u201d Yet Mr.Carruthers says in his letter of Wednesday that the Anglican Church is against the bill, not only because of its \u2018confiscatory\u2019 qualities, but because it forces on \u2018church children\u2019 a kind of \u2018re- \u2018ligious fmstruction to guard against \u2018which these very schools were built and \u2018 maintained by churchmen.\u2019 We must leave Mr.Carruthers to reconcile the two positions he takes up.If Anglicans do not object to the simple religious teaching provided by the bill, the chief strength of their opposition immediately disappears.Mr.Carruthers minimizes thes \u2018extended facilities\u2019 clause of the bill because it only apples to urban districts of over five thousand inhabitants, and he seems to think that such districts are inhabited principally by Roman Catholics and Jews.This 1s a strange conclusion to réach since there are any number of towns of about the number of inhabitants given in the bill where a Jew could scarcely be found and few Roman Catholics.In the rural districts one of the principal objects of the bill would have been defeated if the extended facilities had been given.Where the parson and squire run affairs, as they do in most of the rural localities of England, a four-fifths majority would likely be controlled.Mr.Carruthers now makes the charge of confiscation the essence of his plea, a charge which he lays on the wicked Nonconformists.This we quite fail to see.ln the annals of the Committee of the Privy Counoil on Education we find that till within fifty or sixty years ago popular or primary education In England was left in the hands of individuals and societies.The British and Foreign School Society, founded under the patronage of George III, and the National Society, of more recent cate, were the two societies of 1m- portance which tried to overtake the enormous educational destitution that prevailed at the time.\u2018The British and Foreign School Society endeavored to get rid of all religious difficulties by avoiding the use of all catechisms in BaTurpay, Mar 19, 1906

+0 uh w à certain measure of effciency and a: tendance.! 8 a i The national schools, therefore.he ali along depended upon state aid and the fees paid by the children, whey s Anglican or Nonconformist, and at 1 time would voluntary subscriptions lie kept them going.The ery of \u2018contin a tion\u2019 is therefore misleading.Mr.Bin rell would be the last man \u2018o do sucli a wrong.As Mr.Birrell claimed in Vg speech introducing the bill, the present legislation was necessitated by the LU of 1902, in which the cost of denomina tional teaching was in considerable meq.sure put upon the rates.This was in tolerable to a considerable body of eiti- zens, who became law-breakers in resis tance.Canon Barnet nghtly says thut a lasting peace must be founded on jus tice, but that no party can be a judg in its own case.He sets forth that the final court of appeal is the comiaunity, and he 1s of opinion that the commumty secms to be at present in a temper very favorable for pronouncing a just judge ment.As for the extended facilities clause, Canon Barnet's opinion is that \u201cit makes it possible in urban centres \u2018to continue denominational schools un- \u2018der their present teachers and under \u2018 their present system of religious teach.\u2018ing,\u2019 and he concludes, \u2018If he (Mr, \u2018 Birrell) has not done more to secur?\u2018the denominational position he has the \u201cexcuse that he had no guidance from \u2018their leaders in the presentation of a \u2018 reasoned policy adapted to the opinion \u2018of the community as revealed by the \u2018election.Protests and assertions which \u2018took no account of his obligations as à \u2018 minister pledged to reform the present \u2018 condition gave him no help.\u201d Personal ly, Canon Barnet says his experience makes him a believer in denominational teaching, but h= does mot believe that denominational teaching can be establish ed in the public schools.The bill calla for concessions, he says, for reasonable ness on both sides, but the present bill, he affirms, offers a way, as \u2018it secures * the conscience of every citizen from con- \u2018{ributing to the positive teaching of \u2018eny doctrine, and with a few ameud- \u2018ments it might secure to parents the « possibility of educating their children \u201cas members of a religious body.Finally, so far as the \u2018contiscation plant is concerned, the Bishop ot Bouthwark writes in the \u2018Times, \u2018Nor is it any \u2018answer to say tliat compensation 1s git \u2018en (though we have yet lo find out how \u201c much this may mean).Seizure with \u2018out compensation would no doubt be \u2018worse, Mr.Carruthers inadvertently omits to mention this \u2018compensation, which we do not deubt will be adequate: \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 « TWELFTH NIGHT\u2019 Shakespeare's * Twelfth Night\" is very paturally a stage favorite, suce 1t gives opportunities of such a vaned charac aster, since

A half a dozen performers looking very emiart in suits of white went through the exercises ueually performed in a gym- naslum on the vaulting horse, with a live animal subetituted for the ordinary ap- paratue.Later on in the programme the e¢ame riders went through a series of vaulting exercises with the horse travelling &t tbe canter.- The tandem driving Item on the list of events was well carried out and evoked much applause.A novel item for a Montreal show wae the bending competition for polo ponies.In sets of three nearly a dozen polo ponies were raced up and down the ring passing In and out among a series of posts driven into the ground.It was one of the pretti- ast sights of the whole show to see the well-rained little animals bending in and : out along the course.Those taking part in the competition were Major Frank Meighen, Messrs.Simard and Robertson, The lancers\u2019 quadrille was performed in a pretty manner and proved most popular with the audience, and as an exhibition of the handling and training of horses well merited the applauee it obtained.The jeu de la rose, a game of tag and & good romp.on horseback, which calle for much riding ability, created as much enthusiasm among the grown-ups »e ft did among the children at last Saturday morning's session of the Horse Show.An additional feature to the programme was an exhibition of gymnastics by the boys from the different Catholic schools, under the guidance of their instructor, Sergt.-Major H.T.Scott.After a spell of marching and setting-up exercises the boys did some work on the parallel bars agd followed with an exhibition on the vaulting horse.Interepersed among the apparatus work a number of tableaux were given which passed off without a hitch.The smart, soldierly movements of the boye, and the precision with which they responded to the word of command reflects much credit ob their Inetructor.The ladles and gentlemen taking part in the programme were as follows: Muelcal ride, under the direction of Mr.Jackson\u2014The Misses Wilson-Smith, Miss Pasquin, Mrs.Pelletier,the Misses Campbell Mr.Stanefteld, Mr.de Bellefroid, Mr.M.Pasquin, Roeb, Mr.Gasne and Mr.Maurice.Lancers\u2019 quadrille, under direction of Mr.de Bellefroid\u2014Mr.de Bellefrold and Baroness d'Halewyn, Mr.Jackson and Mise Caesidy, Mr.Roeb, and Miss K.Campbell, Mr.Gasne and Mtss F.Campbell.Polo pony competition-Major Meixhen, Mr, \u20183iMmard and Mr.Robertson, of High River, , Alta.Tandems, under the direction of Mr.de Bellefrofl\u2014'Æessrs.de Bellefroid, Roeb, Gaëne and Jackson.Jeu de la Rose\u2014Mesers.* Simard, de Bel- lefroid and Gasne.Vaulting, under direction of Mr.Roeb\u2014 Mesers.Bert Davidson, Pierre Chevalier, Omf.de Beaujeu, M.Pasquin, G.Pasquin, and Mr.Seygaues.Ringmaster\u2014Md.Fyon.TEACHING A LESSON, \u2018Why is it,\u201d asked a captain in the mavy, \u2018that people will refer to the enlisted force of men as jackies?\u2018lhat :s a landsman\u2019s term.Nobody in the navy ever used it.It is,\u2019 he continued, for the benefit of a reporter to the New York \u2018Sun,\u2019 \u2018a term of pAtronizing in insufferable condescension.Men don't like to be called names, and men in the navy are just like those on shore.The captain spoke of the olde- men, the associates of his boyhood, and declared they were thé finest class of men in the world.\u2018There was one,\u2019 he said, \u2018of whom L must speak, Donovan, William Donovan, chief guoner's mate.He was the simplest, finest man I -ever saw; but Wm.was deadlySfraid of people on shore.1 have no idea what he thought they would do to him, but never did he go ashore if he could help it.He spent his leave on the ship, and I never saw a thore piserable person than William was when he was forced to break through his \u2018habit.One time we were at Mare Island, and there was a celebration of some sort to be g'ven.1 de- terrfined that Donovan should go.lo make sure, 1 took him along with me.The car was pretty full.but I ordered William to stop on.There was only inst room for two persons, and as Wil m took his seat I noticed a young man.well dressed and apparently a gentleman, move away from him and wrap his coat about him for fear it might come in contact with my Wil fiom Donovan, the finest man that ever ived.I roared out so the whole car could hear: I threw my arms about him as he obeyed my orders.\u201cIf there\u2019s anything 1 love,\u201d 1 said, \u201cit\u2019s to have a man-o\u2019- war's man sit close to me.,I want to be near him.\u201d _ \u201cThe whole car by that time was looking at poor William, who was simply squirming in agony; but he sat close, and I went on.determined to five that fellow a lesson that he would remem.er: \u201c \u2018I wish that every man, every citizen of the United States, felt as | do, that it is an honor to have a bluejacket at his side, to grasp his hand, and to realize that his home and his family and he himself is protected,\u201d I said.\u2018I don\u2019t believe anybody in that car ever edged away from a bluejacket again,\u201d he concluded.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE CHURCH ARMY.The Rev.Canon Renaud, of this city, who has been the acting agent of the Church Army for Canada, went to Toronto yesterday in company with Mr.Victor Carlyle, the Army\u2019s Canadian \u2018 \u201cSit close, Donovan, sit close!\u201d and, agent.They had a conference with Mr.Southworth, inspector of colonization for Ontario, and arrangements were the Army's immigration affairs.made for a satisfactory carrying out \u201c| QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.(We Invite questions on sll possible subjects of general Materest, to which ws sha\u2019l do our best to obtain correct answers, and shall insert such queriss and replics as we can mabe room for.This must not be used, Aowever,as an advertising column or as an enquiry bureau for matters not af publi éntéreat.Fvery query must be accompanied with the name and postal address Wf As sender, and no notios will be taken of anonymous ce mmlontions.} ;

which has been removed.Since then the trouble has been much better, but the whizzing eound continues still to some extent, as well as \u2018a eensation of beating in one ear at times.Ave \u2014Probably a little of the wax remains, for it 6 very difficult to extract it all.It \u2018you coud got a little peroxide of hydrogen and drop about five drops into the ear paseages once daily for three or four days this would eoften the wax.Then the passages should be gently eyringed out with a warm eatyrated solution of boracic acid in water., MALARIA, J.P.A.says that in many books, representing tbe vizwe of a certain school of medicine, there is a etatement to the effect that large doses of Peruvian bark, long continued, will produce malaria or intermittewt 1ever.Asks M any reliable \u2018investigations have been made on a scale sufficiently large to prove or disprove this statement.\u2026Ans.\u2014If there je any one dis- veto in tbe whole realm of medicine which bus been thoroughly etudied, and its cause thoroughly investigated, it i& malaria.The cause is à minute animal parasite, called the bhæmatazjon malarie.Th'e can be detected within the red corpuscles of the \u2018blcod at certain stages of the disease in 'pereons so afflicted.It has been proved by Surgeon-Major Rose, Sir Patrick Man- won, Dr.Mandon, jr., and others, that this -orgamiem undergoes part of its develop- \u2018ment within the bodies of a certain varie.y of mosquito, called the apopheles.The dlsense is tranemitted by the bite of these -imeects.Dr.Manson and eeme [tailan .physicians have allowed themselves to be \u2018plttep bY mosquitoes which had fed upon \u2018the blood of a person havfng malaria, and \u2018have thereupon coutracted the discase.The chain of evidence la complete in regard to the cause of malaria and the mode ut intection.The acuve ageut ot Puiu- vian Bark is quinige.The poisonous properties of thie agedt have been studied in | dogs, and also in buman beings who Lave taken exocesaive doses inadvertently.It dots not produce symptoms at all like thous df malaria, even in poisonous doses.The statement referred to is therefore fncof- Test.DIZZINESS.L.R.is a young

weakness af the heart fér some time past.Hes had a sort ol numbnees in the fingere and feet on getting up.Sometimes gets very «leepy In the afternoons, and feels botall over.Any sudden noise seems to jar.Ans \u2014It is imposesble to eay from your description what exactly is the matter with you.It might be merly indigestion, flatulency, or constipation, or again it might be more eerious heart trouble.In any case I think # would be better to eee come doctor rather than attempt \u2018o cure yourself.Delay might be dangerous.FLATULENCY.\u2018Afverta\u2019 ls very much troubled with wind in the bowels.It does not bother much in the day, but in the etenlngs fe uncomdfortatle, being accuupanied by rum- bang noises.Ans.\u2014Flatuleney is éome- times due to improper diet, too scanty a diet, or abnormal fermentation in tbe bowels.As a rule, starchy, fatty, and sweet articles of diet Increase the teuden- cy.Make your last meal somewhat heuvier, taking a proportion of meat.Exercire moderately.Chew the food theroughly.On rising drink a glasefui of coid water.Take about twenty drope of cascara three times daily.and an injection of cold water into the pewels in the evening.ENLARGED

slept that way before, and haa always been quite healthy, She gets out of doors every day, and le otherwise quite we.When she gets a little cold she coughs very hard.Aps.\u2014You are right to be anxious about the little girl.She clearly has some obatruction to her breathing in her nasal pasagee, and breathing with the mouth open will only aggravate tbe trouble, and cause her to have worn throat and headache.It may only be tbat there is an exceas of secretion in the no» which cannot get vent.You might fry syringing ber nose with a little warm water.in which you have dissolved a 1Ittle

Glasgow.1 found on getting on board that there were two foremen and nine hands to look after 350 head of cattle.The first thing we did on getting on board was to find our quarters.These were right in the fo\u2019c\u2019sle head.next door to the firemen, and a steward was there waiting for us.He ventured to remark that he would for # lock our baggage up in the foremen\u2019s cabin for | the present, as the firemen were mot to be trusted with anything lving about.Thie having been done.we set to work to bed down for the cattle which were to come on during the night.This finished, we prepared to retire, but.on arriving at our quarters, found only bare boarde to sleep on.which discovery sent us -howling-to-the ste 8 stewart; wih a view to getting blankets, etc.We were, however, informed that we could not have any until next day, but each man received a plate, knife and fork, and cup, also a large tin pan to fetch our meat in, and a can to be used for {stohing both tea and soup.We went hack to our quarters, and with my \u2018grip\u2019 for a pillow, IT wrapped myself up in my greatcoat and slept my first sleep as a cattleman.Next morning we were amused by one of the foremen at seven o'clock, and\u2019 then we arranged who should be kitchenmaid for that day.The duties of kitchenmaid were not arduous, 8s | found when my turn came on Sunday, the work consisting of going to the galley to feteh the grub and washing up the things after.Breakfast that first morning consisted of coffee and stew, with bread, and I shall not forget it in a hurry.After breakfast was over we went on deck and watched the boat cast off for England, end then our duties as cattlemen commenced.We first of all got up sufficient hay from the hold to last until next morning; after that we watered and fed the cattle.In the evening we again watered and fed them, and then cleaned up the alleyways, and had finished for the night.Supper pipes, and cards saw the time through till nine p.m., and ome of our fellows proved no small performer on the violin.On all subse quent mornings we were up at four rock sharp to water the animals and zve them their hay, after which we pro- seeded to get up enough hay and meal to do duty until the following morning, and then to breakfast.Breakfast over at nine a.m., we gave rach beast a pailful of meal, and then ceaned out the alleyways, and were then leven a.m.) free until three, when we \u201cent through the same performance un, finishing by six o'clock each even.\u20182.Sundav was a great day with us on account of a change of diet, each man

being an American and the other an Irishman.They were treated as second class passengers, having a joint cabin and a steward.After the first three days, by means of a little \u2018greasing,\u2019 I succeeded in feeding with them, not to avoid my fellow-cattlemen, for they were all good fellows, but to escape their grub, which was not \u20180.K.Among my mates were a violinist from a Newport (United States army) band, a \u2018vet.from Toronto, a farmer from Manitoba, a bushman (Scotch), and four other Scotchmen, ail stonemasons, going home with $300 of\u2019 $400 apiece.To complete the picture I must add that the ship carried four saloon passengers, fourteen second class, and twenty-three steerage, all Scotch, and one was an enthusiastic bagpiper, who piped at night with an utter disregard for the weary cattlemen.He and the violinist were, however, In great request for the steerage dances.And so the time passed away until, on the following Sunday, we eighted Tor- rey Island, off the North of Ireland.I might say that for some hours before we sighted land the cattle were very restless, and my foreman told me that they knew they were nearing land.i On Monday moon we anchored at Bir- kenhead, where, in the space of an hour and a half, we got all the cattle off, and also about 150 bales of hay that remained over, and were once more on our way to Glasgow, where we were to be paid off.Never shall I forget that morning when we steamed up the Clyde to Greenock, Ben Lomond in the distance, ite peak covered with snow, and the sunshine on it, and around us a lot of boats, waiting for the tide to take them on.Then we gradually drew away into civilization, with all its smoke and dirt, ; We were paid off that afternoon.each I: man receiving 53 and his discharge, a |

TRAIN INSTRUOLING IN AGRICULTURAL SCLENCE.A college on wheeisThas been running around ix the farming districts ot New England for the last few weeks, brng- ing enlightenment to hundreds of farmers who are struggling with crop, son, fertilizer and cattle questions, and set- tiing points over which they have wrestled and sometimes hotly debated with their neighbors.After attending this college on wheels the farmers have gone back to their farms with renewed determination to wrest something more out of the soil and to give up their balt- formed determination to abandon the farm and seek work In a department store or in any business where a decent income was not dependent on \u2018whether the winds blew from the east or the west, whether the soil was sandy or marshy or whether it rained or the sun shone.\u2018Trouble is, we ain't up ter tbe times,\u201d was the comment of many, &8 after hearing the advice which the agricultural instructors gave them, they drove slowly home, meditating how they would clean up the barns according to instructions and bow they would give Maria a few points about dairyng.The agricultural colleges and exper: ment stations of Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, working with the Boston & Maine Railway, have made the plan practical, and the moving col loge visits all parts of New England through which the railway passes, Lis agricultural train, which is called the * Better Farming Special,\u201d consists ot five cars and an engine.liach car 18 equipped wtih interesting displays, and one-third of the seats of each car has been removed to make room for ex hibits.| Over muddy roads, often in springless waggons, the farmers have driven for miles to meet this train, and the ma- pority of them have brought their wives along.Although they have been advieed in advance to make up their minds before the train arrives just what department they wish to visit, so that they will not lose any time, again and again they excitedly rush from one car to another in a wild desire to take everything in at once.The women are more staid and systematic, for they nearly all steer for the dairy car and sit there delightedly drinking in every grain of information about how to make the best butter, how to handle the cream, and how to make the dairy sanitary.In this same car is a poultry exhitnt, and the women have visions of making their egg money pay the mortgage on the farm as they listen to methods of making hens lay and look at the sleek fowls which are proudly strutting about in their cages.; At one stopping place shrieks of merriment and loud guffaws came from the poultry car when a vigorous old farmer appeared, demanding à look at \u2018the instrument which\u2019d pluck hens.\u201d \u201clhear you've got a machine here that'll strip a hen in about two seconds,\u2019 he said.\u2018Oh, I hearn tell all abaout it, how you jus\u2019 turn a crank and the blamed old feathers come off, and by gum 1'm goin\u2019 ter git one before next Thanksgiving.Yer see, 1 sell so many chickens at thet time that I hev to hev \u2019baout three vats of hot watter 'n order to scalp them properly\u201d 1t was not until the.lecturer ineisted that be had never; heard of such a machine that the iarm- er realized that a wag had been putting up a joke on him.He left the car muttering : \u2018Maybe Si thinks he\u2019s durn smart, but he\u2019ll burn his fingers some day playing with fire, In the harticultural department insect pests are considered, and two professors exhibit specimens in plaster of Paris of the pests which Have to be.fought constantly.\u2018There are among the specimens a plas\u2018er of Paris silkworm caterpillar, about eighteen inches: long and three inches high, and a beetle about a foot long and with a spread ot wings of nearly two feet.The tarm- ers stand around these specimens much as they would stand around the animals\u2019 cages at the them remarked in an amazed voice :\u2014 By gum, they did kill whoppers when they went .ufter specimens, d.dn\u2019t they \u201d By the great horn spoon, look at thet beetle ! Jevver see anything like it ?Wall, 1 swan! No, siree, no Bordeaux muxture for them fellers.K£ 1 see any any of them on my farm l\u2019H shoot em.Yessir, l\u2019Il load up the old gun with BB shot and lay fer \u2018em.It was in vain that the professor told him that the specimen had never been alive, but that it was simply a model on an enlarged scale, intended to illustrate the working principle of the pest, for the farmer declared : * Now, you city fellers may be smart an\u2019 all thet, but when 1 see a caterpillar 1 know L gee a caterpillar, and thet\u2019s all there be to it.You can't fool me; I get up \u2019fore breakfast.A group of young farmers around a specimen of the browntail moth brought out the comment from one of them: \u2018Gosh, ain't thet feller the Sairy driv- in\u2019! Amid a roar of laughter Seth glunk, red faced, out of the car.As a professor held up a specimen and announced that it was the gypsy moth, a typical \u2018Rube\u2019 became very much excited and called out: \u2018By gum, thet\u2019s the criter thet\u2019s been pestin\u2019 me so.I just called \u2019em tarnation bugs, but I swan they didn\u2019t appear till some gypsies camped near me.I guess you've got the right name for \u2019em, mister.\u2019 The lecturers are very careful not to recommend one class of cattle food above another.They merely state what the results are with the use of different foods, but sometimes they have difficult work to stave off a definite recommendation.\u2018What food would you recommend?called out a slubby little man to Professor Smith.\u2018Well, we have several kinds of food, all about of the same nutritive value,\u2019 replied the professor.\u2018You may take your choice of fiffeen different kinds.\u2019 \u2018Wal, I know,\u201d persisted .the farmer.\u2018But I thought mabbé veur experiments could tell you which was the best one.\u2019 \u2018The results.of ou} experiments -are here, and you can judge for yourself; there is no best food,\u201d said the profes sor \u2014 \u2018Yaas, by gum, thet\u2019s all right\u201d said the questioner, \u2018but I'd like to know what you think is the best.There must be some best, young feller.\u2019 \u201cThere is no best,\u2019 repeated the professor.\u2018It's.just as if you wanted to buy a mowing machine.They all do the work about the same.You simply take your choice.\u2019 And the professor hastened to call gttention to some other exhibits.The farmer, however, snickered and confided to his neighbor that he guessed he\u2019d got \u2018thet feller worked up some.\u2019 A patent milking machine was regarded as a practical joke by most of the farmers, until the instructors reiterated emphatically that it was a \u2018working proposition.\u201d Even then the farmers could not ask many questions about it because they were overcome with laughter at the 1dea of milking Old Boss and Speckles at the same time simply by starting a gasolene engine.\u2018Say, sup- posin\u2019 th\u2019 critters want ter kick,\u2019 said one, \u2018there won't be anythin\u2019 for them ter kick at,\u2019 and the other farmers slapped their legs in appreciation of the situ ation.In the farm crops and fertilizers car Professor W.P.Brooks, of the Masea- chusetts Agricultural College, was talking about putting lime on land, when a voice smothered by red whiekers and flavored with a etrong twang called out: \u2018'Baout haow much lime would ye put on an acre?\u2018I should say about a ton,\u2019 replied Professor Brooks.\u2018Ain\u2019t there danger of puttin\u2019 on too much, perfeseer ?\u201d .\u2018No, Font think any farmer who has to buy his lime will put too much on, replied the professor with a smile.The crowd caught on at once, and there were vells of \u2018Thet\u2019s right,\u201d and \u2018They do soak us,\u2019 and \u2018By jinks, thet\u2019s so,\u2019 and \u2018Them lime men are robbers.\u2019 Professor Morris Blake was giving a talk on fruit trees when an individual wearing cowhide boots which looked as if they had the muck of ages on them winked to his neighbors and whispered: \u2018Bet I can catch him.\u201d Professor Blake saw the wink and was ready for the questions.\u2018Say,\u2019 said the farmer, \u2018what kind of peach trees would you advise me ter set out?The professor never hesitated.\u2018What kind of land do you wish to .set the trees in, and just where is it?And do you want an early or a late peach?\u2018Wal, 1 want kinder an early one.What do you think of the Triumph peach?and the farmer winked again.\u2018Well, we got 25 cents for a quart basket of Triumph peaches last season,\u2019 was the professor's reply.: \u2018Is thet so?Mine didn\u2019t keep very well.1 kinder wondered what would be a good peach.How \u2019baout Alber- tas?\u2019 and again the farmer winked.The professor not only gave information about Albertas, but talked glibly about various kinds until the would-be joker looked rather sheepish, As two farmers made ready for their drive home, one was heard to say to the circus, and one of\u2019 other: \u20181 dunno, Frank; these here science fellers can grow this truck inside, but I'd like ter see \u2018em out on my farm whar you hev to wear glasses to find airth to set your corn, the stuns bein\u2019 so thick.\" And Frank replied: \u2018Wall, I'll bet they\u2019d raise anythin\u2019 ver wanted out on thet farm of yourn.Trouble.is, we aint up ter-the times.An\u2019 it's too late to start studyin\u2019 naow.We was born too scôn In the poultry department a great deal of amusement was caused by the way a woman ordered her husband to leave the car.\u2018But there is plenty of room for him,\u201d protested the professor.\u2018Wall.Ftain\u2019t thet I care about,\u201d she returned.\u2018Ef he\u2019s here he'll keep tellin\u2019 me when 1 try experiments when I git hcme thet I'm doin\u2019 it all wrong.Ef I keep him owt of the car he can't pester me, fer be won't know nothin\u2019 what he's talkin\u2019 abaout \u2018The \u2018pestering husband\u2019 consented to depart when the crowd turned to-look at him.| The \u2018Better Farming Special\u2019 has al- \u2018ready traversed much of the farming region\u2019 6f Massachusetts and southern Vermont and New Hampshire, and as the season advances it will run into the northern portion of the latter two states.it is found that the farmers appreci- that the agricultural colleges of the three states will go one step further and send picked men into decadent towns to buy apandoned faring and, adapting themselves to the time, place and conditions, make the land yield a comfortable living with a surplus.\u201d It is thought that oth- ars will be inspired by their success to follow, their example and thus the town would be transformed in ten years.RARE ANIMALS AT | NEW YORK S00.THE FISHER AND THE WOLVERINE ATIRACT ATTENTION.Of all the animals which have \u2018been so unceasingly trapped for their iur since tue great Hudson Bay Company sold their titst lot of pelts in London in 16/7, nofie have won for themselves a greater name\u2019 than have the nsher and tne wol- vehine.Thoroughly detested by all trap- ets, these.animals neverthcless hoid hetr own, turning the very vocation of the fur-hunters to the.r own benefit and \u2018defying all but the most ingenious and carefully planned snares.It is seldom that either \u2018of these intetesting creatures cap be seen.even in the best of zoolo- ical gardens, but both areat present on gubitiow\u2019 in the New.York Zoological ik; amd when - we know a little\" of thedr history, far from passing their Gages with a careless ce, we will be lad, to.examing them carefully, for per- \u2018bape, within a very few years \u2018both will have gone to join the ever-increasing body of extinct animals.Both the fisher and the wolverine belong to the marten family, which also includes the otter, mink, weasel, skunk, and badger.To those of us who are acquainted only with the small-sized weasel and mink, the first sight .of the fisher brings almost as great a surprise as if some giant creature of the past had suddenly come to life.When we see a weasel slinking stealthily through the leaves and underbrush, in its eager search for food, we know it to be diminutive in stature, but in the fisher we have a large weasel-like animal, fully three feet in length.It is to a weasel what a Great Dane is to a King Charles spaniel.Like most of the other fur-bearers of North America, it was formerly found in all the northern regions of our continent: but it is now rare everywhere and eeldom or never seen in the Kaat.Indeed, so rare is it, that no photograph or picture has ever been made ot the living nnimals.even in captivity.It has a multitude of names, such as pen- nant-marten.fisher-marten, pecan, black cat, etc.; but its common name is a misnomer, as it never catches live fish like the otter.although it willingly devours them when the ehance offers.IU hunts and kills rabbits, squirrz!s, birds, snakes, and frogs and, strange to say, often outwits and kills the \u2018fretful\u2019 porcupine, turning it over in some way and thus uncovering its defenceless throat and underparts.The fisher will also kill young bear cubs while the mother is absent from her den.It sometimes sneaks along in the path of the trapper and devours his bait: thus fur-hunters have but little love for this savage creature.although its depredations in this respect are far less to be feared than in the cage of the wolverine.In winter the fisher lives in some hollow tree, and when a trapp-r desires its skin, he follows its footprnts in the ow.and, with his dogs stationed about, chops downy the tree.At the last moment the fisher sometimes gives a great leap to a ne\u2018ghboring tree, and so makes off: and even when the animal falls with ths tree.the dogs have a terrible foe to encounter.Its fur.al though of a heautifnl glossy brown, is not as valuable as the skin of the marten.As in weasels.its legs are short, but the claws are sharp and strong.ên- abling it to pursue squirrels swiftly through the trees.; The wolverine, taken all in all, is a most remarkable animal, and by its wit and its fierce, ghittonous habite has made ite name wellknown and hated among all the pioneers and trappers who have encountered it in its native haunts.Tt is now found only in the extreme northern part of the United States and Canada.although it ranges south along the Rocky Mountaine.But everywhere it is rare, and even where formerly abundant its wit and sagacity made it a most difficult animal to observe or even to kill.It, aa well as the fisher, has been given a host of names, such as skunk bear.glutton.carcajou.wolf marten, Indian and mountain devil.In its cage at the zoological park it certainly deserves the latter appellation, as when one approaches its cage, it bares every ate this college on wheels it is probable : tooth, uttering a grunting snarl, as if it longed to fix its teeth in the observer.Throughout the day the wolverine remains in its cave or hollow tree, snugly curled up and sound asleep, but at dusk it wakes up, goes out, quenches its thirst, and then starts off on its search of food.And woe to any living thing which it can circumvent! 1t is clumsy and short-legged, and must trust to patience or cunning to capture its prey.If it comes across the trail of a wounded deer, it will follow the creature doggedly, eagerly sniffing each drop of biood until it comes within striking distance.But a wolverine counts itself in luck when it strikes the trail of a trapper.Following the track of the snowshoes, it soon comes to a dead-fall or steel trap, set with tempting bait for a marten or other small fur-bearing animal.Crafty and suspicious \"above all the other animals of its haunts, the wolverine deftly springs the trap and devours the bait.Then on it goes to the next trap, where perhaps it finds a derd marten.It= keen sense tels it that here all danger is past, and it boldly proceeds to devour the animal dowu to the very teeth of the trap.At last the trail of the man leads to his cabin, and now tbe wolverine becomes more and more wary, watching for any sign of life.If it finds a fresh trail leading away from the door it knows that all is safe, and turns its attention to the cabin.The door is probably fastened, but the animal forces its way in at the window and begins its work of havoc.Every edible thing is devoured, and what cannot be swallowel is torn and chewed into rags.Further than this, a wolverine has been known to almost completely strip a cabin in the absence of its owner, carrying off and hiding in the snow such things as axes, knives, pots, pans, guns, and even the blankets from tne bunk! \u2018The only way that wolverines can be trapped is by concealing the bait as much as possible and making it very difficult to get at it.The animal, thus thinking that sucH care must be solely for the protection of the meat, tears down the barriers and forces its way to the bait, and the crafty wolverine meets his fate.Once a hunter returned and found one of these well-named gluttons so gorged with meat that it was unable to escape by the chimney.down which it had made its way into his cabin, No matter with what care meat or other articles are hidden in the ground or in trees, the wolverine will invariably find them.One certain way to foil the creature, however, is to place the \u2018cache\u2019 in a tree, and then remove the bark to a height of five or six feet.above the ground.The smooth trunk scon freezes hard, and as the claws of the wolverine can get no hold upon the ¥ree he is unable te climb up.5.When , the ponds freege this animal will even

they greatly.fear its preda- tions, and it figures cobspi¢uoisly in their legends and folk-lore.Its fur is used for muffs and sleigh robes.The scientific name of the wolverine, is \u2018Gulo lus- cus,\u2019 the generic term from a Latin word meaning Elhtton, while luscus means one-eyed, and was applied by Linnaeus, because the specimen which he saw had but one eye\u2014C.William Beebe, in New

There is a dearth of egg cups at Alexandria commensurate with the diminutive proportions of the Egyptian hen's egg.80 says the latest consular report from there.In the ordinary British \u201cfe cup the Egyptian breakfast egg looks SLIGHTED LOVE AVENGED JILTED PARISIANS PUNISH GIRLS \u2014A GHOST AND A BLKGLAK., Slighted love has just been avenging itself in two cases in a very different manner from the now stale recourse to the knife and the revolver.In cach instance the methods have certamly not been devoid of originality, but wuile the author of the one has been request: to hold himself at the disposal of the \u2018| police, the other has won lumself any amount of gratitude from the tamily which had scornfully rejected his mtr monial advances.Hero No.1, 1t such a term can be applied fo a gay law student somewhat addicted to flirtation, had been making up to a pretty brunette in the Latin Quarter, but the girl, al though not currently supposed tu be par ticularly hard-hearted, had for some reason or another sent him about hws business.The youth's vanity had been considerably wounded, he had vowed to pay her out.and when a night or :wo ago she sought the repose of her downy couch in her trim little chamber high up in the house where she dwelt, and was just composing herself to slumber, she was startled by a weird noise.She opened her eyes, and, to her dismay, beheld a tall object attired in a volum- nous white robe standing at the foot ot her bed.Terror kept the fascinating brunette mute, but when, in low, deep tones, the words, \u2018I have come to fetch vou and to bear you away from this world, were uttered by the mysterious visitor, the poor girl screamed out, \u2018A ghost! A ghost!\u201d and, bound from her couch into the middle of the tinv room, fell prone on the floor.Attracted by the noise.neighbors rushed in to tind the chamber empty save for the presence of its tenant, who was lying in a state of insensibility.The police and a dne- tor were promptly sent for, and when.after an hour\u2019s interval, the heroine of this grim adventure had been restored to consciousness.she related that she had received the unwelcome visit of a spirit.The officials, however, being decidedly sceptical on this point, started on an investigation, with the result that the mischief was traced to the law student, who confessed that he had got up the scene to punish the lovely brunette for her rejection of his overtures, and that he had obtained entrance to her room by means of a false key.He has not been arrested.but, as said above.has to hold himself at the disposal of the commissary., Ruitor No.2 had made his advances to a lovely girl, the daughter of retired tradespeople, for what is called \u2018le bon motif\u2019 that is to say, his Intentions were honorable, and-he meant marriaze.Unfortunately, the young man, although bearing an excellent reputation, was poor, so the family, which indulged in ambitious projects -for the setflement ot the :prefty-: ol «\u2019fim politely to understand that he was no match for her.\u2018 Not long after the occurrence ot this little\u2019 episode there appeared on the scene a very smart youth, who gave himself.out as having already a splendid situation, which brought him in £800 a year, and was only a stepping-stone to a far more brilliant position.the gurl and her parents were completely dazzled, and without starting on the slightest inguiry received him with open arms.The wedding day was fixed, the trousseau purchased.and relatives and friends\u2019 were assembled at a dinner party which was to be a prelude to the great event.Thue justice had been done to the viands.and dessert with sundry bottles of sparkling champagne had heen laid on the table, when the rejected suitor, who had been included in the invitations just by way of showing that there was no ill-feeling.rose to his feet and asked leave to make a little speech.How very noble of him.the family and the other guests exclaimed to themselves, but their horror may well be imagined when he denounced his snccesa- I ful rival as a burdar who was making a good thing by his nefarious trade, and \u2018as \"a wedding present\u2019 threw on the table a bundle of missives addressed by accomplices to the individual in question.whom he described as the ring leader of the gang.All eves were turned toward the hride- groom-elect, but he uttered not a word.With blanched cheeks and totterng steps he tried to meke his wav to the door, but he was collared by the father of his fiancée, who was boiling over with indignation at the cruel trick that he had played.and a moment later was committed to the custodv of the nolire, who promptly conveyed him to the depot at the Prefecture.Tt seem: \u2018hat the rejected suitor.partly out of jealousy and partly out of curiosity, as he was by no means inclined to take his rival at his word, had entered mto friendly relations with him.and during one of his visits to his dwelling had discovered a parcel of letters.which he had contrived to abstract.and which admitted of no doubt as to the nature of the very lucrative profession which the voung snan had embraced.The gr! and her parents are, however, so grateful to the rejected suitor for having saved her from a shocking fate that it looks as if he may not have to play the rorry part of a rejected suitor much longer.The trousseau is all ready.it would be a pity to waste it, and, after all, as the retired tradesman is very comfortably off and the only objection to the youth is his lack of fortune, the matter mav be arranged.He, at any rate, need not dread anv unpleasant disclosures on the eve of his own marriage.\u2014London \u2018Telegraph\u2019 [Paris correapon- dence.EMIGRATION FROM ITALY.(The Milan \u2018Secola.\u2019) Figures for 1904 show that 470,962 emigrants left Italy; those for 1905, which will soon be published by the ministry of the interior, reveal the exodus of 716,- lonely and unsupported, and it is a matter of considerable skill te effect the necessary decapitation while it is in this wofully wabbly_ condition.lence there is a cry from Egypt for egg cups meet for the national egg._ 242 persons, a number never reached hy any other country in the world.Emigration has been providentia!

Hospital for the week commene- ing next Monday are Messrs.James A.Gillespie, Randall Davidson, Thomas E.Hodgson and William Davidson.= SE While,\u201d lant week, putting it in order tor | Eu THE « BICKERDIKE.\u2019 HANDSOME NEW ADDITION TO THE MONTREAL \u2018& GREAT LAKES NAVIGATION COMPANY., One of the latest and most interesting additions to the Montreal & Grtat Lakes Steamship services 18 the \u2018Bicker- dike,\u2019 which arived in port several days Ago on her initial trip.She was formerly the \u2018Arabian,\u2019 and ran between American ports, but immediately upon her purchase by the Montreal & Great Lakes Steamship Company she underwent a thorough remodelling, and all her appointments were made modern in every respect.The upper work has been wholly renewed, and uot even the keenest ey could recognize in her the \"Arabian.Perhaps, the cosiest part of the whole ship is the captain's quarters.which scarcely lacks even the most insignificant modern conveniences, and the same applies to the apartments of the other of ficers and theise of the passengers.Throughout the ship the lighting is furnished by electricity.Every precaution that modern inventive genius has de- viced 1s taken Lo safeguard the vessel from any mishap.ler steering equipment is operated by steam power.Between the pilot and the engincer the closest communication is maintained by means où two danger chronom:ters, one of which is placed in the room of each officer, and they are connected with one another by telegraph.Should any accident occur to the engine it is immediate: ly recorded on on edanger istrumet and coveved to the other, while a return signal is also given to show that it is understood by hotli officers.A similar operation is performed in the case of the pilot spying any danger.Another piece of apparatus records the absence of signal lights by causing a bell to ring and lighting an electric lamp.The bottom of the ship has as a protection to her plates a layer of four-inch elm, while if a leak should occur there are three pumps in readiness to rid her of water.In a ship built primarily for the carriage of freight her capacity for passengers 1s necessarily limited, but the accomodation by the nicety of their appointments overcome this defect.Her dimensions are such as to render her peculiarly fitted for freight, With a length of 233 (eet, and a breadth of beam of thirty-four and a half feet, she can easily carry a large cargo.An im: mense refrigerator guarantees the preservation of all perishable goods.The officers of the vessel are: James MeMaugh.captain; Edwin Groulx, first mate; E.Drury, second mmie; Kugene Amelin, first engineer; J.ond engineer.The 'Bickerdike\u2019 is named in honor of Mr.Robert Bickerdike, M.P.! resident of the Montreal & Great Lakes Navigation Company, of which the other officers are: Captain James H, Hall, vice- president and superintendent; Mr.C.E.Jacques, general manager.The \u2018Bickerdike\u2019 leaves for Lachine today.where she will licad the greater part of her cargo.OLD MAN\u2019S MISFORTUNE AFTER BEING SHELTERED AT TO- LICE STATION.SAYS HE WAS UNJUSTIFIABLY CHARGED.An elderly man appeared in

don't be so ready to make game of the miseries of others.Your turn may come some day.\u2019 \u2018Well, it hasn't come yet, so let's have a Jolly evening of it.Can't you think up a good story for ue, father\u201d \u2018Somobody to eee you, sir,\u201d satd a maid at the door.\u2018There!\u2019 exclaimed Hugh, In great vexa- ticn.\u2018I do believe every one in this town owns ym except your own family.\u201d \u2018It's some poor person, sir,\u201d continued the girl as soon as a chance offered of further epeech.\u2018He's at the back door.\u2019 \u2018Ecsy now, Hugh,\u2019 said the genial doctor.as he rose t> leave the room.\u2018Per- taps I can get off without going out.May de some one wants some medicine.\u2019 The circle of young folks waited, still regaled with Hugh's peevish complaints, uvrtdl in about fifteen minutes their father's returning step was heard.\u201cNo patient this time,\u2019 he said.\u2018Some pocr fellow who tells a pitiful story of wife and children a long way off, no work and no place to sicep.So all I had to do was to send him to a comfortable place for the night and promise to help him t> work to-morrow.\u2019 \u2018Of couree,\u201d grumbled Hugh, \u2018that's the third man at the back door within a week.You are always getting taken in, father.\u2019 \u2018Not always, Hugh.\u2019 \u2018Do you remember the tramp who wanted work and a bible, and hung around the place fcr a week, protending to take care of \u2018\u2018yer honore borse,' and at last went off with your case of surgical Instruments, lcaving the Bible in its place?And the boy tbo came with such a virtuous story of not being avie to get echool-books, and ccaxed moze; out of you, which he apent for a pair of skates and a box of clgars?And\u2014* As Ella, tbe oldest daughter, glanced at Per father'e face, her eyes were held by tbe eweetners of the smile which he joined to the laugh over Hugh's reminiscences.She wondered if it grew out of pleasant memories of many & cup of cold water given tn the Master's name, not one of whioh he would wish to recall, although ecme might have been unworthily bestowed.He, hovever only eaid quletly:\u2014 \u2018That\u2019!l do, my boy.I've galped more than I've Jest.\u2019 .\u2018There's no danger of your ever injuring Yourself by fo'lowing his example,\u2019 sald Dila tp Hugh.\u201cI bope not, indeed.I never intend to keep open house, or hand either, for all the maimed, halt and blind tramps iu the country, Tell us eome yarns about ycur pets.fa'ha-, please\u2014their name must be legion.Let's hear of come who were a gain to you, you say.\u2019 There was à twinkle in the doctor\u2019s eye, as he settl:d himself back in his chair.\u2018Ons evening a long time ago I was asked to step into ancther room and see some ; cne who had just come.I gueesed the moment I sav him that he had made up his mind to stay for a while.I knew it would make some trouble to have him about, but 1 couldn't help feeling interested in the poor fellow.No one lke him had come to us hefore\u2014' \u2018What did he look lke, &ir?\u2018Zhort, with a round face and a bald bead.He looked brigbt enough, but had little to say for himself\u2014but it wae easy to eco that he was In great ned of food, clothing and kind treatment; in short, that -he would be if his wants were not promptly supplied.Of course the only thing for us to do was to go to work to supply them.\u2019 \u2018Just like you, father.Any one else «cuid hav- quietly sent him to the alma- rouse,\u2019 sald Hugh, speaking, however, more gently than before.\u2018If you had seen bow helpless he was you would not wonder that euch an idea never entered our heads.He had ao little strength that for some time he could not raise him- eelf\u2014' \u2018Do you mean, father, that you kept him and tok care of him?\" \u2018Yes, aud he required a good dea! of care, too.\u2018Why didn't you send him to the hospital?\u2018Well, somehow we didn't bave the heart ! ! | have no thought of leaving\u2019 \u2018What was he good for, pray?\u2018I can't eay he never showed much desire to make himself useful.\u2019 \u2018Well, father, do te!l ue how long you harbored the lazy rascal.How did you ever get rid of him?\u2019 \u2018Oh, we never got Md of him.here yet.\u2019 Ella had been watching her father\u2019s face for the last few minutes, and now broke irto a hearty laugh, jn which he, with one or two of the others, joined.Hugh gazed from one to the other with a bewildered Took.\"What! you mean me?\u201d he gasped at length with an expression of such aseton- ithment that ancther peal of laughter cawe from Ella.\u2018Short\u2014round-faced\u2014bald- beaded\u2014hadn't much to say for bim\u2014 van't god for much.I'l] never forgive you, eir,\u201d and he shook his head vigorously &t his father ae he leaned over and gave him a pat on the ehoulder\u2014\u2018that ts, 1 never would have forgiven you if you hadn't put this among the cases in which you eaid you were à gatner\u2019 He seized the kindly band luo a warm grasp.\u2018Well, well, let my poor joke go now, my boy.1 can tell you a \u2018better tramp story than that.\u2019 \u2018Will it be another of your tricks, sir, to pay me up for abueing them\u2019 asked Hugh.\u2018Not a bit; I think you're bad nough.My oldest brother, your Uncle Robert, was a yourg lawyer when I was a half-grown schcnl boy.He used to drive the two miles Clstance which lay between our home in the subur and bis office, | riding with bim to attend the village academy.One winter afternoon, as 1 entered his office to He's | wait till La should be ready to go home, he showed me with rather an a emall package.\u2018 \u201cThat,\u201d said he, \u201cle $3,700 in büls.:t bas been pald In to me for my cifept fn the Forbes case.It came after bank hours, 60 I must carry It home and bring it back in the morning.I am corry, for I muet be awey to-night.\u2019 It bad been his fret big case, and I could ge that be was fuss- end nervous at having in his hands 80 much mouey belonging to soms one olse.\u2018It was rousing winter- weather, one ot those days, not occurring very often I am thankful to say, when, with very severe cold, snow comes in a driving wind.All day long it had been falling, and Rob's trisky pony snorted and scared and danced as he plunged through the drifts, while the enow-flakes, frozen to steel-ltke shary~ nese, seemed to cut our faces, as the keen blast carried them in such an apparently horizontal Hne that |] wondered how they ever fell.It was good to eee the pleasant glow of fire in the home windowe as we drew near, and the pleasant faces of Aunt Rachel and Sister Elele, halt amueed, half sympathetic as they watched us ploughing our way through.\u2018Rob worked his way In to get a little rest and refreshment before starting out again, while I struggled to the stable with the nag to give him the same privileges, [ was followed by a queer-looking, under- \u20acized, red-haired, Irish-looking chap whom I had never seen before.He was very earnest, though rather clumsy, in trying to assist me, and J was too cold to stop to question him, but hurried in, where I found the welcome heat of the fire not a whit warmer than Aunt Rachel's face and volce.\u2018 \u201cThee dear boy\" Do get thee things off important air quick and let me rub thee hands.Isn't thee most frozen?Here, Elsie, bring his slippers.\u2019 \u2018Rob was unrolling his money, and created the little flutter be sight of the crisp bank-notes.\u2018Big ones, Elsie,\u2019 he sald.\u201cDid you ever see a thousand dollar bill betore?*- There were two $1,000 bill, five of $500 and four of $50.Elsie epread them admiringly on the table, while Rob explained to Aunt Rachel the delicate points In the case which be had followed out to à successful result.\u2018I went to look at the bills myself, and, with a sudden {ropulse of boylsh mischief, made a grab at them and, crumpling them in my band, waved them over my head apd then motioned as if to throw them into tbe fire, exclaiming: © \u2018Pooh, ltl\u2019'e only eo much paper, after all, Elsie!\u201d \u2018At this moment the door leading tg the kitchen opened and the person ] had seen expected at at the stable came in, carrying an armfa! of wood, which be put in the box behind the stove.* \u201cWho's that?\u2019 asked Rob, glancing suspiciously after the man ae he left.the room, while be rather impatiently took the bills from my hand and smoothed them out.\u2018 \u201cWhy, my dear,\u201d said Aunt Rachel, \u2018it's some poor fellow who came along and asked to be allowed to stay to-night, and 1 \" (To be Continued.)

environment of childhood ie untrammeled freedom in the open air, says \u2018American Medicine.\u201d The explosive shouts emitted as soon asa child le released from a ses- alon prove that it has been auder an ex- Lausting restraint.Of course this fact Las long been known by intelligent teachers who give their little charges numerous occaslons to blcw off steam, but It dces seem that much more can \u2018be done than is done.If it ie true that american cHildren are of a more nervous type than those of northern Europe, we can expect to ind a greater proportion of neryous diseases among them.A great class of \u2018nervous\u2019 little bodies should be out rolling In the sand instead of sitting bolt upright on a bard, uncomfortable bench.The present mania of the American mother to educate her bables lcng years before jt is time is merely one of the evil results of our system: and since ft is not possible to convince her of the harm done by euch ccoflnement, the problem before the school auntharities seems to be to make the first | It doesn't pay to be, plaintive dnoop to the corners of her mouth | \u201cutterly In !for refreshment, few yeare of school approximate, as nearly es discipline will permit, the rollicking natural Mee of the babies ig their, charge.After all, a big share of the \u2018nervousness\u2019 and ill-health of schoo! children is due to eyestrain, a truth so important as it is neglected.\u2014'The Eagle.\u2019 The Rest Corner.(By C.B.B., in the New York \u2018Obeerver.\u2019) The owner vf a new house was showing a friend over it.From hearthstone to roof tree it seemed everything that was convenient, beautiful, artistic; \u2018and yet; complained the house-mother, \u2018there's not a single rest corner in it for me\" The first floor, she explained, was given up to tbe parlors, library and dining- room; in these she must always be in à gown suitable for visitors who might happen in, and no lounging robe could be tolerated.The second floor held Ler own large eleeplng room, the bedrooms of the grown children apd the nursery; in hor room she could hear the trolley bel] all day, the rattle of the carts, the doorbell and the telephone, and no rest was possible, even if the running in and out of the children every few minutes and the frequent interruptions of the maid were not considered.Qu the third floor were the guest rooms, shut up, dark and orderly, one inner room full of trunks and bundles, and the servant's rooms.She was right; in all the house there seemed not one little corner to which she could fy when cares and worrles pressed too hard ard she Jonged for silence and \u2018repose, This desire for a rest-corner appeals to women, for the end of their strength comes 80 soon in these strenuous days, Before the noon hour strikes, one Is tired, not because she is feeble or lazy, but because the cares of life are so many, the confusion so great, the nolees so Oppressively; because the baby frets, and the cook gives warning, and the sewing basket ls piled bigh, and the nelghbors run In, and ten thousand things need to , be done at once, and manifestly are not going to get done ; plain flesh and blood And nerves cannot stand the pressure, City women and country women are alike on this point, for If it is not noise \u2018She ie loelng all the healthy enjoyment oF multitudinous distractons whch wear one out, then it is overwork.For all allke the rest corner is not a luxury\u2014 lt 1 a necessity.It is the getting away from the usual surroundings to the unusual which soothes; the quiet of a place of one's very own, wbere one can relax the silence, safe from every interruption.But fn a small or crowded house, where can one find such a corner?i In \u2018Little Women,\u201d Joe ls describeg as lying ome rainy day on an old couch fn the attici a dozen rueset apples near by crying comfortably over \u2018The Meir of Redclyffe.\u2019 That picture of a Test carrer goes straight to a woman's heart.Surcly, even in the smallest house there must be a niche such as Joe's! Even If there is no attic, there may be a lumber room where a placé can be | ecreened off and made comfortable with | an old lounge with hillocks and valleys ! which fit one\u2019s back, and a warm, pos- eibiy moth eaten, rug, two or three dix- carded «oft pillows and a shelf of books, and what more could one possibly need?Restful reading differs for each person, but among the old-fashioned books tucked away there are some which are always 800d for euch a corner as this: \u2018David Copperfield,\u201d and \u2018Old Town Folks,\u201d and \u2018Revertes of a Bachelor,\u201d and \u2018Snow Bound\u2019 and \u2018Ivanhoe,\u2019 and other of the favorites of one's youth which can emile over and drop asleep over, and love for old sake's sake.There need be no stimulating e¢seay, or \u2018Informing\u2019 book of travels, or a eingle \u2018compelling\u2019 novel; the old books are best for the quiet hour.Incongruous, curious, whimeical, others might call the choices, but that need not ruffle the one who keeps them out of sight under the eaves for the enatched half-hour of etillnese.\u2018Ope thing is certain,\u201d wrote a woman recently, \u2018a woman must be eweet.\u2019 True, but how difficult when ehe is tired out! She puts on a determined smile and speaks in an artificially pleasant voice, but the smile grows rigid and the voice breaks Into diecord and everybody sees through the pretense and knows that !n- side ehe really longs to give way and be crosé and disagreeable.Yet a little time in the rost corner would have saved her.Rolled up in the warm old rug ehe might have read a little and dozed a little, forgetting the press of bousework, deaf to the telephone, Indifferent for 1he moment even to the clamor of the children, and emerged fresh and cheerful without a nerve on edge.Every year more women &uccumb to nervous prostration; the sanitariums from one end of the country to the other are crowded, and still thousands of women are not there who should be, because they cannot aflord to go.Knowing well that the grim spectre who haunts the home peeps dally more often from its closet, the wife and mother can only goad herself on to greater exertions, determining not to give way to the exbauetion she feels.She must mot, dare not, break down! But a little eanitarium is hidden somewhere under her own roof, with quiet and comfort and health for her.Twg half hours a day, enatched when the baby sleeps or the darning basket overflows, may save her from a year of (nvalid\u2018em.What ff ehe does have to buy her bread for a time, or use a patent dish washer, or get ready-made clothing for the family, the time for the rest corner, it wil} pay, nevertheless, Such a-corner ie more than a cure for nerves ; it is also a means of grace.Its daily use goes far toward answering the prayer, \u2018Lead us not into temptation, since the great temptation of most women is to the irritation of fatigue.To sit at times ae Thomas A, Kempie advises, \u2018as a eparrow alone on the housetop.\u2019 is to be a better woman and a better Christian.For the Housekeeper, THE APOLOGIZING HABIT AND ITS CURE.Is any trait of our fellow man or womat quite so distreseing as a bad case of thls particular malady?And the cure?Well, the best one is a good dose of apologies from another chronic apologist.It is only less annoying tban family 6keletons brought out In public.Said a bright woman the other day: I K et on making apologies for real or imaginary causes until | chanced to be the guest of a woman who went so far beyond what I had attained in that line that It occurred to me | was in a fair way of making my friends as uncomfortable as she unconsciously did me.\u2018This woman was an ideal housekeeper and one of the best of cooks ; but Dot a meal did | enjoy of her serving, because of uncalled-for apologies.\u201cI forgot to salt my bread and it is so tasteless that it is not fit to eat ; I am afrald you cannot make out a \u20acupper.\u201d \u2018It I made haste to eay that | had not noticed the omission and assured her that her cooking never called tor excuses, she would accuse me of trying to flatter her and would continue to apologize, until at the end of a meal, ] felt as if I had swallowed a stone, instead of perfectly cooked food.\u201cObeervation bas taught me that guests, as a rule, do not see what In the eyes of the hostess seems to call tor apology.\u2018I recently called upon a woman of culture and was greatly enjoying her vivid account of her trip abroad, when she suddenly came to a pause and in a shockea tone exclaimed : \u201cThe maid neglected to dust that plano\u2019 Why, I could write my name upon It!\u201d \u2018Then from seeing through her eyes the beautiful scenery mine had never rested upon, I was called back to the drudgery of life ; when the truth was that my back was toward but for the apology.ignorance of the neglect of the maid.The call.which otherwise might have been wholly Interesting, ended in complaints.\u2018The most enduring lesson came to me from ône who, undgr'the'most trying eir- cumstances, refralned from making any apologies.This sensible woman at that time I did not count as a friend, though I had long known of ber as a gifter per- eonality, and bad once had the pleasure of entertaining her in my home.\u2018Finding myself in her \u2018home city, I thought 1 would call upon her, When I halted before the bouee I saw euch an ob- bave remalned iu struction of plaster and debris that | wae about to turn back, but a workman near the open door said: \u2018If you are looking for Mrs.A., 1 will call her.\u201d * \"Oh, don't!\" exclaimed I, thinking \u2018\u2018not at home\u2019 would be the result, but the man evidently knew the woman he was working for.He bounded off; and in an instant later the lady appeared at a door back of the parlors, which were being replastered, and with a warm welcome written on her face, exclaimed: * \u201cThis isn't the sort of reception you gave me, but I am delighted to see you, anyhow.\u201d And then, when | was drawn into a room overcrowded with furuiture, what cared | for the lack of order, {a view of such a welcome?\u2018J had expected to go back to the hotel for lunch, but I forgot to note the flight of time as ] conyersed with the woman who was superior to trying circumstances; and shall I forget how, with a roguish smile, she reminded me that it was lunch time by putting thie query: never \u2018My dear, do you like hasty pudding and mllk?\u2018When ] untbinkingly responded to the affirmative, she exclaimed : \u2018Then you must share my lunch with me, for otherwise I ehall be alone, Now don't make excuses, for you will be doing me a real kindness to etay.'\u2019 [ could not resist the invitation, which was evidently so beart- felt, and from that vielt and simple mea! dates a friendship which has extended over long years, cemented at a time when almost any housekeeper would have excused herself from eeeing anyone.\u2018In fact, so easlly and unobtrusively does the habit grow that freedom from It under given circumstances may often be taken for an evidence of thoroughly good breeding.\u2014Cleveland \u2018Leader.\u2019 TOO COSTLY.How few women realize that nothing ls more costly than credit.The golden principle of insieting upon a weekly or monthly eettlement of all accounts ls one that ensures economy and freedom from anxiety.For even the smallest discount counts up by the end of the year.It le the easiest thing in the world to get Into debt.and one of the most difficult things to get out of it.Tradesmen, anxious to do buéiness, have a way of encouraging bills to run on.Suddenly the day of reckoning ccmes, and you find that, instead of owing one or two smal! sums, you are hopelessly in- solvent\u2014a slave to dune and the never- ending worry and misery caused by one\u2019s or dispense with desserts in order to take own fooiish carelessness.\u2014'\u2018Bible Times,\u2019 the plano, and so I should, .Advertisements, \u2014 RTS DELICATE BA BIES, Every delicate baby # a serous handicap.Even à ness as apt to end tätalh mother 1s kept on à stute a ;

The general tone seems to take for granied an au- cjence to which the devotional life 1s something quiet foreign, though they can take an eager interest in ethics.While unsatisfactory in mauy of ms positions, for \u2018sentimental\u2019 religion 1s unnecessarily decried, this book contains some good analyses of the problems ot character.The subjects of the mortl- fication of the Hesh on which some churches have laid such stress 1s treated from the standpoint otf utility.Character, to he power, mst have its machmery {a full command, and the alemness, responsivenees and endurance of the body are the mechanism which conveys moral power.The lecturer points out that the character of Christ, beng free trom selt- interest, was distinguished by a remarkable poise, and that this even balance of mind was a source of his power.Many a devoted enthusiast has committed himself to the Imitation of Christ, and THREE TRYING ENS TIMES IN A WOMAN'S LIFE There are three periods of a woman's life when she is in need of the heart strengthening, nerve toning, blood enriching ction o MILBURN\u2019S HEART AND NERVE PILLS The first of these is when the young girl Is entering the portals of womanhood.At this time she is very often pale, weak and nervous, and unless her health is built u and her system strengthened she may tal » prey to consumption or be a weak woman for life.The second period is motherhood.The drain on the system is great and the exhausted norve force and depleted blood require replenishing.Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills supply the elements needed to do this.The third period is \u2018change of life\u201d and this is the period when she is most liable to heart and nerve troubles.A tremendous change is taking place in the system, and it is at this time many chronic diseases manifest themselves.Fortify the heart and nerve system by the use of Milburn\u2019s Heart and Nerve Pills and thus tide over this dangerous period.Mrs.James King, Cornwall, Ont., writes: 1] have been troubled very much with heart trouble\u2014the cause being to a great extent due to * change of life.\u201d I have been taking Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pill3~for some time, and mean to continue doing so, for 1 can truthfully say they are the best remedy I have ever used for building up the system.You are at liberty to use this statement for the benefit of other sufferers.Price 50 cents per box, three boxes for 1.25, all doalers, or \u2018The T.Milburu Cu, imited, Turvato, Dat / and ! } ras sesmed to find ample support in the teaching of Jesus for erme moral protest or exhortation, but has precisely missed that poise of character which made It pcésible for Jesus to be a revolutionary junovator without eccenitridity, extravagance or bitterness.In a treatise so radical and natural istic in its handling of spiritual things, it is occasionally surprising to come acro-s references to phases of the Uhris- tian life whioh are not at all of the most elementary sort.For instance, It may be considered rather an advanced experience when the Christian thinks with more interest oË the progress ot the kingdo:n than of his own share m nt, yet this state of mind is described with sperial clearness.The Christian comes to regard himaelf, not as a dctached problem to be solved, OT an isolated creation with its own laws of conduct, but as a means, 8 member, an or, to use the more human language of the gospels, as a servant trusted by Lis master, a porter bidden to watch, a steward to whom much ls committed, a een to whom tke father confides bis affairs.agent, ALSO RIEGEL ED.* Dynamic Factors in Education\u2019 by M.V.O'Shea, Toronto: the Macmillan Co.of Canada, Ltd, \u2018In Quest ot Light\u201d by Goldwin Smith, (Toronto: Macmillan Co.) \u2018The Way of the (iods,\u201d by John Luther Long, (New York: \u2018the Maemillan Co.) \u201cChambers\u2019s Journal,\u201d \u201cThe Sunday at Home, \u2018The Girls Own Paper?\u2018The Boys Own Paper,\u201d \u2018Health Culture,\u201d \u2018Strand Magazine.\u201d \u2018Good Words,\u201d \u2018Pearson's Magazine\u2019 for June.LITERARY NOTES | The literature of Socialism is much | and-insistent.It has pervaded all realms from poetry to the driest statistics.There is a sort of tact adm\u2019ssion of its growing powers and a stirring fear of {what it may mean if it once runs loose, {that has awakened i's opponents to make use of its own taciics against it, to hold all channels open to resist and | scatter the flood that may yet overflow its hounds.This desire has crept into I pcetry and ino the formation of novels whose serious warning is the main design of the fabric.Serious minded men have watched the swing of the pendulum and thought it time to advise the world of its outward tendency.Some fourteen years ago Mr, Henry Holt published anonymously \u2018Calmire,\u2019 a novel based on the study of theological questions of the time.It was seriously discussed, but not popularly a success; its author remained unknown until after the publication last year of his \u2018Sturm- see.\u201d This contains a study of the evils dormant in socialism, and like its predecessor, its plot is subservient to its plan.It will be read by the thinking classes, not by the devourers of popular i fiction; a book to think over, not to while away a lazy afternoon.In a general consideration of his work and ability as a novelist, the New York \u2018Times\u2019 brings out his point of view as regards socialism: \u2014 Mr.Holt is one of thoes who incline to a wise and patient modification of present conditions, rather than a radical overturning of them.He sees clearly, what so nany zealous reformers forget, that time is a factor in growth, and that Nature ls not revolutionary but évolutionary.He has not that headlong enthuslasm, that hely Ire, which possesses our Saoclalls- tic friends, and eo often carries them away teyond the bounds of temperate judgment.He keeps a cool head in discussion, and yet his work is actuated by a desire for himan betterment quite as strong as the etoutest radtcal's, and he writes, more- cver, with meture experience.The re- fcrmers, after all, baven't a monopoly of Luman kindnas any more than the Con- eematives have à ,monopaly of common sense.We require for the solution of our great problem, indeed, all the warmth of heart of the uncompromising enthusiast, andl all the eteadiness of thought of tbe most dispassionate philosopher.His solution of the difficulty depends not so much on recasting our Institutions as on re-asting the tenor of our lives, on ennobling our spirit and making our endeavors more and more unselfish.This is the great merlt of the book; for there we ara on solid ground and have a certain geod, toward the attainment of which we may bend our energies.However heated and perplexed we may grow in argument over the relative excellence of different kinde of civic government, there is always the taek of governing ourselves, to which each of us may turn with a very fair proepect of being thoroughly cooled and suficiently occupied.David M.Parry is vet one more to raise the ory of warning against the growth of socialism.Mr.Parry has battled with the waves and weathered the storm.in the financial struggle of to-day.Now that he is high and dry, the difficulties behind mean only the chance for energy and the force of life.The right to struggle and rice higher than the coninen pane iv in his iden not to be lightly yi-ld=d.\u2018The THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS Empire\u2019 (The Bobbs-Merrill Co.) is à piece of pure fancy induced by the nightmare of active socialism as seen by the author.The New York \u201cIr bune\u2019 characterizes it \u2018a fantastic tale\u2019: The story is intended as a protest against the teachings of trade unionism and the eoclaiistic propaganda, but it is too exaggerated.The author makes no effort to reconcile the phenomena he describes with propability or the laws of Nature.Put his tale is entertaining, full of exciting incident.It is not alone that there is a lesson for the present day to learn in \u2018I'he Greek View of Life\u2019 by G.Lowes Dickinson, that commends it, bat the fascination of that old civilization 18 allowed full play through all the book.The heroism, the beauty, and the art of Greece have never lost their power to stir.Mr.Dickinson goes as far back as possible, and from their beginnings he traces the growth of their ideals -n physical development, in expression Of art, in government of the sate, and In religion.In gradual loss of power, and failure of the promised stabiliiy, lies the warning against any over-develop- ment of state control.He does not force his lessons, they are rather inferred.His book has met with great popularity in England, and will not be slighted in other lands.\u2018Much food is in the tillage of the poor; but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment,\u201d has an extend d commentary in \u2018Threepence a Day for Food\u2019 (A.Constable & Co.) by Eustace Miles.The proportion of waste in this world, to the material economy, appears :t9 those who study it to be of the old \u2018spigot\u2019 and \u2018bunghole\u2019 comparison.It is not possible even in the wildest dream to imagine a world edutated up to making the most of its possibilities, but Mr.Miles has a lot of very practical advice on this matter in connect'on with foodstuffs, which he is able to offer at the small rate of a shilling the book.Whether each would advise the proprietor of his own favorite restaurant to invest in the shilling's worth and carry it out to its logical conclusion may be a question, but summer campers might give it a trial.It deals with English conditions, but is not inapplicable to Canada.The Lonton \u2018Spectiator\u2019 has examined it:\u2014 Mr.Miles gave meals to four hundred guests at flvepence per meal (for, raw materials), thought this too costly and da- berate, and cut down the expense td iwo- pence per day;

unless there is thoughtful husbanding on the part of its present inhabitants, posterity will have to learn to do without what are to-day considered necessities, or discover some suitable substitute.As the New York \u2018Post\u2019 remarks: \u2014 There 16 » Moral to all euch vague speculations, interesting and depressing as.they may be; and the moral ls, that while there may be doubt a: to the fulfilment of these prophecice, there is no doubt that the good Scarlet | tings of this world are fleeting and that, But we must own to not know- - teing limited in quantity, they shculd be consumed in moderation and not wasted.Petroleum, as a cheap illuminant, has j brightened many glocany dwellings where , the tallow candle formerly made darkness j visible.No one belleves it to be stored in lasting quantities in the buried sandstones | of the earth's crust, .and yet it is tapped i co recklessly that, in a new district where ! the first wells belch # forth faster than it 'can be caught, new wells are nevertheless | snk almest &6 close together as derricks can be erected, and the oll flows 60 much taster than jt can be caught and transport- | ed to market that the price shrinks below : à figure at which it can be normally produced.For a time it is then burnt under ; a boWer by the tank-carful instead of in ia lamp by the gallon.It is the same with other industries, and thre comparisons of the general waste | with the proved possibilities of a prudent working are not the least astounding portions of the book.Germany, is one of the leading countries in the endeavor to obtain full value from the generous gifts of nature, while the younger nations are apt to accept them with an inconsideration of their full value that is reckless and spendthrift in the extreme.The reminiscences of the sixth Lord Monson have been lately published by nis grandson, the present Baron.Educated at Eton, there are many little incidents recorded of interest in connection with names now famous.Shelley was his schoolmate, and of his early efforts Lord Monson recalls that \u2018Shelley wrote a small book in one volume in which he collected together all the horrors he could think of.It was a farrago of what in those days we called pamphlets, little thin sixpenny books of romance, which the boys in want of reading \u2018used to purchase.I quite forget the name of this work of Shelley's, nor have I ever met with it in atter life.The last volume of the new Library Edition of Ruskin is out, making twenty- two in all.This, like the others before {it, has met with generäl approval; the editing has been good, and the matter is \u2014-Ruskin\u2019s.The make-up of the books {the lectures is most satisfactory.His work was not done only for posterity, and though he had his enemies and detractors, his lectures never suffered from the disadvantage of sounding over empty i seats.He was personally deeply loved by many, and the beauty of his language, the energy with which he gave it expression, attracted such crowds to his Oxford lectures that certain restrictions became necessary.This fell hardest on the ladies, whether® on account of the \u2018bonnets\u2019 they wore or no, for this was his decision: 1 cannot let the bonnets in, on any conditions, this term.The three public lec- j tures will be chiefly on angles, degrees of ; color, prisms (without any prunes), \u2018other such things of no use to the female mind, and they would occupy the seats In mere disappointed puzzlement.They ghall religlous schools again.This volume covers various lectures, as the somewhat lengthy title indicates: \u2018Lectures on Landscape, Michael Angelo and Tintoret, The Eagle\u2019s Nest, Ariadne Florentina, with Notes for Other Oxford Lectures.\u2019 (George Allen.) In speaking of the Oxford lectures the \u201cWestminster Gazette\u2019 remarks: No one who was present at this series Of lectures, or seven year® later when he was lecturing again during his second professorship in the theatre of the Museum, is likely to forget the excitement and interest of these occasions.All used to go smoothly so long as be had written his lectures and could read his manuscript.The eeneation came when he bad either not written or could not decipher his notes, The Fatality of Indigestion.From insurance records it has been found that about thirty-five percent of the deaths of \u2018policyholders was attributed to diseases of the digestive =ys- tem.To persons who have been accustomed to think lightly of indigestion, biliousness and liver derangements this statement will be rather startling, but it cannot be 1efuted.To a large extent the liver controls the digestive system by supplying the bile to insure the prompt passage of the food along the intestines, where the difficult part of digestion takes place.Because of their immediate and direct influence on the liver, Dr.Chase\u2019s Kid- ney-Liver Pills insure a good flow of bile, and by so doing positively overcome constipation and intestinal indigestion.Wind on the stomach, rising of sour taste in the mouth, smothering sensations in the chest, puins about the heart, headaches and dizziness, drowsines end discomfort after meals and sluggish action of the liver, kidneys and bowels are the symptoms of this serious and dangerous form of indigestion.Dr.Chase\u2019s Kidneev-Liver Pills will { promptly overcome these sympioms.One \\pill à doke, 25 cents a box, at all \u2018dealers, or Kdmanson, Bates & Co, Toronto, themselves and the muunner of illustrating and | all come, if they like, when I get on the SArorpar, Mar 19, 1994 Coffee is like everything else\u2014the BEST Coffee requires care in cultivation, selection, blending and roasting, (\u2018 SEAL BRAND Coffee is rich in Caffeine and Caffeone.growths from the best Plantations in the world.CHASE & SANBORN MONTREAL ( It is made of selected THE ABSOLUTE PURITY of the flour is the first essential of pure \u201cFive Roses\u201d Flour is made by a process which, while insuring absolute purity, in no way detracts from the nourishing properties of the flour.housekeeper interested in flour, who will call at our stand at the Pure Food Exhibition in the Victoria Rink, May 14th to 26th, we will give a free sample of our justly celebrated brand, \u201cFive Roses\u201d Flour, or our \u2018\u201c Breakfast Food.\u201d nourishing bread.LAKE OF THE WOODS MILLING CO.LIMITED.\u2014 To any securing pure Then he launched out Into improvisations which were humorous, fanciful, and fantastic in equal pa: .and which abounded in playful exaggerations which delighted his audience and kept them excited.As Mr.Cook records, he got into a fine scrape about his attack on Michael Angelo, which drew angry proteets from bis best friends.\u2018He rcad it tn me juet after he had written it,\u2019 sald Jiurne-Jones, \u2018and as I went home I want.) to drown myself in tbe Surrey Canal o- get drunk in a tavern\u2014it didn't seem worth while to strive any more if he could think it and write #t too.\u2019 Burne-Jones, however, showed rather less than bis ueual humor if be took It all quite seriously.The worst effect of this lecturing in public and the emormous success and sensation that attended it was perhaps that it Increased the natural excitability of his temperament and led him too much into the temptation of speaking for effect.Some of the later lectures of his second professorship were disastrous in this respect, and were in no small mea- eure responsible for the breakdown which clouded the last years of bis life.This, however, is outside the scope of the present volume, and our present purpose 16 once more to congratulate Mr.Cook and his co-editor, Mr.Alexgnder Wedderburn, on the admirable result of thelr labor In producing this edition, A little story of Ruskin, illustrative of the proverbial lack of honor to a prophet in his own country, is taken from the Dundee \u2018Advertiser.\u2019 Mr.Kingsley tells of a visit to Ruskin once, when the critic-artist indulged in an argüment with his mother.It Was from hie mother, he says, that Ruskin got DIS brains.George Richmond, the artist, was one of the company, and some point raieed brought on a lively debate in which Mrs.Ruekin joined.\u2018Ruskin,\u2019 says Mr.Kings ley, \u2018was right, I think; but whenever bis mother seemed inclined to that bellef, and feared getting the worst of the argument, she always closed the diecussion by eay- ing, \u2018\u2019Hold your tongue, John!\" There was between Ruskin and his mother the liveliest affection, and her death at the age of ninety caused him the deepest sorrow.\u2018Lhere 1s hardly a simpler, sweetzr, tribute possrble than the epitaph he placed over her grave.Here Beside my father\u2019s body 1 have laid My mother's ;
