Mr.H.B.Cowan pointed out that the horticulturists had by resolution declared against the disfiguring advertising boards stuck all over rural scenery.Eventually, on motion of Mr.\u2018John A.Cooper, a committee was appointed to deal with the subject and to report at next year\u2019s meeting.The committee on resolutions expressed satisfaction that the Provincial Government had promised to amend the libel laws, with a view to protecting newspapers from unjustifiable suits.The resolution expressed a desire that the association assist in the defence of such papers as were the objects of these unjustifiable attacks by libel suits.This clause was eventually altered to make it clear that no financial aid should be given in libel suits, but that all information in the possession of members should be given to the party sued.The preservation of the spruce and other forest resources of the varions provinces was declared to be of paramount interest and benefit to the country, and an enlightened polic on forestry was advocated.That the executive make inquiries into the statements made before the association to the effect that a combination to control prices exists im the paper manufacturing interests in Canada, and that the executive, if it deems such a course advisable, take such action as will protect the interests of members of the Press Association.To-morrow morning the party will leave by C.P.R.for a trip to Peter- boro, where the manufacturing establishments of the city and the famous lift lock will be visited.er CONTRACT AWARDED.1 The Montreal & Southern Counties Railway have given the contract for paving Common, Grey Nun and You- ville streets, to the Sicily Asphaltum Paving Company.Work will be started as soon as possible.FN PTS EE a rat ~~ COLONIAL ordinary prominence.CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO Their Exposition of Beautiful Furniture ON MONDAY, MARCH TWENTY-NINTH, AND FOLLOWING DAYS There Has Been Assembled for This Spring Opening a Large and More Varied Collection of Beautiful Furniture Than Has Been Shown at Any Previous Time.ANY rare and delicately carved pieces will be found in the collection, and connoisseurs will appreciate the correct reproductions and purity of design of such famous makes as Chippendale, Hepplewhite and Sheraton.Among the new woods to be seen in the showrooms this Spring, is the Circassian Walnut, which, owing to its deep richness and soft harmonizing qualities, will undoubtedly receive more than In fact, it would be hard to conceive of a wood that so exactly meets the tastes and requirements of the home of culture and refinement as this.HOUSE MONTREAL, - STUART\u2014ALLAN.* The marriage of Miss Mary Liva Allan, youngest daughter of Mr.Jameg F.Al lan, of the Township of Drummond, to the Rev.James A.Stuart, B.A., of Sunbury, took place on Tuesday, March 23, at the Presbyterian church of Bolder- son, which was prettily decorated with flowers and white ribbons.Miss Cavers played the wedding march as the bridal party entered.The bride, who was given away by her father, wore a creain pointe d\u2019esprit gown over white satin, and a bridal veil caught with a wreath of orange blossoms.She carried a bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley.Miss Susie Stuart, of Montreal, sister of the groom, was bridesmaid, wearing a scft silk Directoire gown and presentation veil.Miss Marion Roberts Allan, of Ottawa, mece or the bride, was the flower girl, dreesed in pale blue voile and a picture hat.Both carried bouquets of pink carnations.The bride's brother, Mr.Alired Allan, was groomsman.The groom\u2019s gift to the bride was a gold watch, to the bridesmaid a gold brooch set with a diamond, and a diamond ring to the flower girl.At the olose of the ceremony the choir sang \u2018The voice that breathed o\u2019er Eden,\u201d and the officiating clergyman presented tue pride with a Bible, this being the first weddmg celebrated in the church.About two hundred guests were present.Breakfast was gerved at the residence of the brides parents.The rooms were dee- orated attractively with flowers and greenery, and the table decorations were arranged with pink carnations, emilax, and white streamers.Awong the gusts were: Mr.\" J.Roberts-Allan and Miss Dutch Allan, Ottawa;

Race With Shrubb Aftar feeling Wood and Carmichael tun at the Arena yesterday afternoon, Shrubb, the English runnner, remarked that the way {things lovked now, he was going to have a pretty stiff fight to win.In fact, he was so jmpressed with thelr work that he in- sieted On a change in their order.The original plan was for Wood: to take the first five miles and try to gain a lead, and for the other two io follow and do their best to hold it.The new arrangement will now be for Carnichael to take the first five miles, then Wood and Mc- Dônald to take the last relay.In this way, Shrubb calculates to secure a lap or two lead over Carmichael, at least hold it with Wood, and then make his race against McDonald.As for Shrubb, he js in the best of condition, and it would not be suroricing to see records broken to-night.Wood ari Carmichael ran five milee each yesterday, the former doing his in 25.25, whllo Carmichael made his distance in 27.20.McDonald turned out in the afternoon, and jogged a few miles, but made ro effort to test bis speed.The promoters of the race claim that he can do tite distance in about the same time as Carmichael.It the trio make such time as they have been reeling off in practice.they will give Shrubb the race of his life.There 1s every indication that the Arena will be packed this evening to witness the first indoor race of its kind to be rum in Montreal, \u2014 NEW RINK FOR OTTAWA OPTIONS ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN OBTAINED ON SEVERAL CENTRALLY LOCATED PIECES OF PROPBRTY.\u2014 \\ .Ottawa, March 26.\u2014It was learned on reliable authority to-day that the new rink project is going through, and that options on centrally located pieces of property have been secured, and soil will be turned as soon as the frost is out of the ground, or in one month's time.Secrecy has been maintained in the matter, but it has been ascertained that the proposed new rink will be supported prin- @ipally by the Ottawa Hockey Club, and outside eubscribers.Already prominent local sportsmen of means have offered substantial sums toward the new enterprise, and the only obstacle, if it can Be called such, is to choose \u2018the right site.\u201cThe proposition is a money-making one for those interested,\u2019 said the gentleman in question, who, by the way, is indirectly connected with the Ottawa Hockey Club.\u2018l might say in the first place the Ottawa Club, has found it necessary to take this ster-and build ts own rink, else it would have to go out of business.It might be discredited by some people, but it is true, the cu , just \u2018ol&ëed, and there never were s=h huge attendances.We flgure the gross earnings of the Arena rink mapagement on games played by the Ottawa Hockev Club in thie city alone amounted to $7,000.So you see there Is considerable revenue to be derived by having a rink of our own.\u2018Can you eay where the site for the new rink will be?\u2019 \u2018No, not at present.But it will be centrally located, and the street oars will pass much nearer than the Arena.\u2019 Considerable guessing was engaged in by pereons present at the inferview as to where the eite would be.Bruce Stuam thought Major's Hill might be given over, and some suggested that perhaps the Rideau rink had been purchased and would be enlarged in seating capacity.THE SCOTTISH TOUR FIGURES SHOW THAT QUEQ®C CURL-

two awonths illness George Price, bow oar of the famous Paris crew, died to-night at his home, King etreet, Carleton.He is survived by a widow, four sons and four daughters.He had been married for dorty-nine years and had spent thirty years in the Customs service which - he entered as a tide waiter.For the past twenty years he had been examining officer on the American boats, and s0me- times on the trains.Only one man\u2014Elizah Ross, of Carleton \u2014now remains as one of the famous Par.s crew.On July 7 and 8, 1867, the crew won the championship of the world whea they defeated all comers in four mile races at the famous international regatta at Paris.They held the supremacy in the boating world until 1569 when the Tyne crew, of England, which included such famous oarsmen as Renforth, Taylor and Williams, defeated them at Lachine.In 1871 another match was arranged to take place at Springfield, Mars, between the Paris and the Tyne crews, and it attracted the people of two continents and on that memorable day of Aug.23, thousands upon thousands lined the banks of the Kennebeccasis.The distance was six miles, and the time made, 38 minutes, 20 seconds, is still a world\u2019s record.The Englishmen led at the start but were overtaken ,and Renforth, one of the greatest oarsmen that ever lived, then realized that his eide had lost, but with charac:er- ietic pluck he shouted to hie men.\u2018Come, boys, give her another dozen.\u2019 All the men were making a last but a noble effort when Renforth, who was working herole- ally, suddenly collapsed at his oar to die two hours later.The Canadians won, and they also defeated all comers on the Ken- nebeccasie in September.1873.The crew's taëet race was in Philadelphia in 1876, when they were beatel by a Halifax crew.They never rowed again.ANGLO-AMERICAN CHESS PLAY FOR SIR GEORGE NEWNES TROPHY PROGRESSING IN LONDON AND NEW YORK SIM- ULTANBOUSLY.\u2014\u2014 New York, March 26 \u2014When play ceased for to-day in the eleventh annual Aunglo- American chess match at the Brooklyn Chess Club, and Hotel Savoy, London,, the Americans had succeeded in placing two victories to their credit, and the outlook was that the Sir George Newnes Trophy might be saved by a marrow margin, un- lees some upsets occurred to-morrow.The two victories were scored by A.B.Hodges, of Staten Island, and H.B.Voight, of Philadelphia, at the third and fourth boards respectively.Hodges was the first to receive a resignation of his opponent, W.Ward, one of the leading London players, the game lasting only twenty-two moves, this being a record.\"Meanwhile, Voight, who had defied irregularly against the queen's pawn opening.obtained a steadily improving position, the G.B.Wainwright, of London, after 27 moves.Baron Albert Rothedhild,

which will open in Toronto next Wednesday.Some idea of the magnitude of the task confronting the committees in charge of the arrangements was given to a \u2018Witness\u2019 reporter to-day by the Rev.W, T.Gunn, secretary of the Congregational Union of Canada, one of the secretaries who has been meeting with the committee of the congress in Toronto.No fewer than 2,800 delegates had registered\u2019 at noon on Thursday, said Mr.Gunn, and the committee had been both pleased and puzzled over the problem of how to provide accommodation for the numbers coming in every day, which makes it possible that the full seati capacity of the Massey Hall, 3,500, wil tuken up.\u2018The nresent arrance- 1 al ments are that the floor of the hall will be given up entirely to lay delegates.So much interest has been manifested by the general public, that, as there ie no likelihood of their being able to get into any of the main conferences, arrangements have been made to hold overflow meetings in churches in the immediate vicinity.ri Special cars and trains are expected from some parts of the Dominion, and: the probability is that large numbers of delegates will register on the opening y., Full statistics of Canade\u2019s missionary giyings in the last year have been.gathered, and although the figures are not ready for publication, the results are considered \u201cvery encouraging.La s Missionary banquets whidu;

Roosevelt, it is a question whether there will be surcease of the Roosevelt storm and stress.c¢ld song, \u2018beware of Turks and tigers cu the banks of the Nile\u2019 He may; shun pools where breeds the malarial mosquito.But what precautions will deliver him from the swarm of reporters.He is in no danger of getting lost in Africa, like Livingstone, and having à Stanley sent ta find him.Ie will find a Stanley in every bush.General Kitchener, on his way to Khartoum, assembled the newspaper men and informed them that, jf pe could have his own way, Be would hang every mother\u2019s son of but as he could not do that he would.put them under guard, and send them\u2019 to the rear and keep them there until the war was over.We are not sure that Mr.Roosevelt would do this if it wus apen to him.He no doubt realizes that i to.Canadians, \u201cgion and\u2019 Stagnation follow as inevitable: He may, according to the |.pas £58, |e resist temptation then\u2019 the words appealed to them in that way.God having given men.that capacity, \u2018thea a solemn obligatron.rested on\u2019 them to \u2018remove \u2019 temptation from their weak- | er brothers and sisters.\u201cMr.Crooks Abus applies the doctrine of service.He \u2018did pot: pretend that the man who |.\u2018| taïtied\u201d his daily \u2018bread\u2019 \u2018could do with: | out recreation or \u2018amusement; \u2018bit, he said, - \u2018 Wherever there ig the greatest.\u2018 misery and squalor, there is the flam- \u2018ing gin palace!\u201d \u2018When,\u2019 continued Mr, Crooks, \u2018the brewers get up and \u2018talk about equity and justice, I ask \u2018there ever be when their weakest bro- \u2018thers and sisters are tempted to sell \u2018their spuls ?No money in the wond \u2018will pay for a human soul.\u201d He concluded by assuring his audience that the problem of the House of Lords, of unemployment, of house planning, and any number of others, could be solved to-morrow if \u2018workingmen were not chloroformed day after.day; and he reminded those present of their respomai- bilities\u2014what was solemnly\u2019 due not .only to themselves hut to their weaker brethren.Such counsel as this should go far in- time.Cubans \u2018having .obtained their freedom from the Spanish yoke, with the help of the.United States, want to enjoy it.in their own way, not in the way the big Republic has thrice tried to \u2018teach them.They have got rid of the political Spanish yoke, but they still carry and hug with passionate devotion the hereditary yoke of Spanish manners and, customs.These they.will not.abandon for -the manners and customs of their neighbors of \"Anglo-Saxon origin.In explanation of their unrest and dissatisfaction under the new order es tablished : by dictation from Washing- \u2018ton, it is stated that the Cubans demand that bull- fighting be restored, the equally popular sport of cock-fighting permitted, and - the Havana lottery.revived.ffere we have an illustration\u2019 \u2018of the ineradicable \u2018difference between Spanish and English Americanism.That difference is racial and moral, as it has always been.If the Cubans are PM.6 allowed to have their way, and we can- LQ.14 MARCH = \u201cmot see how the United States can re- s M| TYWIT + \" ' fuse it te: them, » without despotic \"|: 0165 À a | dictation, they retrograde forth- Cal 2106 [with to the \u201cPolitical, social and \"= 2 3 industrial conditions in which they- 7 81 9110 were before they gained their.Âreedom.: { Unlike: northeth \u201cPegble, they are not.| |\u2019coinpelled by g:severe climate and stub- } born soil to make careful provision for | the future.Sloth is, for instance, as natural to them as active industry is Degradation, retrogres-.| results.iv sg eee bik Tehnedsoe fury Has done a wonder: | Jt has conv ioted a gentleman SA PE \u201cÉiied\u201d another gentleman\u2014and Tho ply\u2019 an;

for his own country has decided to stop this system of murder, but we are too.accustomed to tolerating and licensing - vice and schools of dissipation.We.think the Health Department of \u2018the city would be warranted in finding out who sent - to: Toronto the Jying | statement about an outbreak of smallpox in Montreal and getting him punished.If the law affords no redress the slanderer should be hung on the gibbet of publicity.It is bad enough to exaggerate news by putting dt-squt of focus, which is almost weil the very process of tranemittinie ib-té à distance.When there is some foundation for a statement: {that is essentially false and \u201ceven wilfully overdone the locality TRjured \u2018has\u2019 just to bear the \u201cinjury.But when there is no foundation whatever\u2014when the injurious statement is either a piece of inexcusable stupidity or of wilful elander, we do not see why an example should not be \u2018made of the slanderer.eee \u2018DRE ADN OUGHTS°?In - the peedh- which the Canadian Club \u2018of \u2018Toronto elicited from Mr.Joseph\" Martin on his way to take up his .regidence in England, that stirring individual gave, we believe, the true ring af popular opinion in Canada when he demarded that out of respect for herself \u2018Canada should contribute to the navy.At least one cam hardly think so meanly \u2018of the Canadian \u201cpeople as to suppose thef \u2018 Wolff] - take -the stand imputed to them in the utterances attributed, we assume ;in error, to Sir Hugh Graham.Few, we believe, would endorse the threat that \u2018if Great Britain did not do more for \u201cCanada with regard to ner defence: \u2018Canada would do something curious.\u2019 The same - \u2018interview represents Sir Ifugh Graham as saying that the sepposed\u201d strength of the British navy has more to do with the sentiment in Canada in favor of the perpetuation of the British connection than any other factor.The fact that the navy defends us is certainly the one most fre- \u2018I'quently quoted as\u2019 a tangible obligation, but we doubt if it is of the essence of our imperial loyalty so long as we take \u2018no part in maintaiping that boasted bulwark.It is not without humiliation that we read the sneers that the more regular party papers, on both sides, are heaping on this proposa] to contribute to the navy, and the extreme lack of cogency, and dignity in the arguments to which papers like the Ottawa \u2018Free Press\u2019 are demeaning themselves, Let us assuihe, as.we are willing to do, that Great Britain, having discovered the plans of \u2018Germany to out-build her in her own latest form of war engines, is suffering from a fit of \u2018Dreadnoughtitis.\u2019 The pleasantry of the word has already \u2018been bandied till it is threadbare.Granting, which re are not at all willing to da, | tHat Great \u2018Britain\u2019 is scared, We are at a'loss \u2018to, seg what that has to do with Canada\u2019s duty to the \u2018necessary navy.Whether we think that mavy should \u2018have pge: \u2018Dreadnought\u2019 more .or less has no bearing on the question as to whether we,ought to lénd a hand in bearing the burden of the navy.Considering the gigantic efforts the Priva, Government is making for the i stronger bulwark than\u2019 \u20181 of \u2018the great powers.le.ie, paval defence of the Empire; issuming if.we will that the enormous finangial sacrifices the British people are making \"are greater than necessary; still it is for \u2018us\u2019 ds well as for themselves that .hey are \u2018doing it.It is contemptible in ue L who are not paying a cent for that general defence to ridicule it.It would be béyéad measure contemptible to threaten reprisals, as poor Sir Hugh Graham has been credited with doing, for any fancied inadequacy.Were the question put to a popular vote, the response would, we like to believe, be overwhelmingly in favor of standing Æônorably by the Mother Country and taking Canada\u2019s fair share in the bur, \u2018den of imperial defence.Let any one geridusly think what the safety of the Empire means to Canada and to the world, what a woeful day it would be for us and for mankind were the Empire, which has been built up with the brains pd blood of our race during centuries of.victorious struggle, dismembered, or forced into a secondary position, by.any No other power offers \u2018the same guarantees of freedom, autonomy, and constitutional stability that are to be found under the British flag and within the Empire over whioki # flies.It may be that the island home of our race will have to face con- \u2018ditions unprecedented in its history\u2014 \u2018indeed it is certain that it will\u2014but all the more strenuously should the affiliated nations rally to the support of the mother to whom they owe theif existence, and the safety they have.enjoyed in their infancy?They \u2018dre Tising in the scale of nationa and must.in time take their place among the great powers of the earth.But if in the process of their development, danger \u2018should arise, and the Old Land \u2018have to fight\u2019 to maintain her place, nome would harbor the treasonable thought of abandoning her to her enemies because she did not, in addition, to her other burdens, tax herself for the benefit of communities who have no need of sacrificiel coddling.The mere mention of such huckstering, in the, face of the dangers \u2018thought by some to be even now looming about Great Britain, is an insult to all right-thinking Canadians and should be resented, as Mr.Martin bas done; - with maniy candor 1\" directness.ER x \u2014> x \"EDUCATION AL.GROWTH IN ; QUEBEC.English-speaking, are awake, there are parts, too, Frenchspeaking and Eng- lish-speaking, which are still asleep, and these last arè not always the least favored in material wealth or natural resources.Moreover, no other fact than that of the rapidly diminishing fertility of the soil in some of the best parts all, to ignorance of sound principles\u2014 is needed to prove that the claims of true and thorough and earnest education are as pressing as ever.The trumpet call to agricultural progress in France three hundred years ago, of Henry the Fourth, and his minister, Sully, is still needed with us; and our schools must more and more become the efficient agents of real public instruction if true and intelligent economic progress is to be made.pr A ROMANCE OF SHOPPING.The apotheosis of the departmental store is now to be found in London, where Whiteley years ago set the departmental store fashion, by advertising himself as a \u201cuniversal provider) A glorious pile of buildings has just been completed in Oxford street, at the huge cost of five million dollars, for Messrs.Selfridge, and\u2019 will be open to the public next month.The style of architecture is French renaissance, and the building is copied largely from the Palace of Fine Arts in Paris.It is constructed internally of ferro-concrete and steel, and externally of fine Portland stone; it contains eight.floors, which provide accommodation for a hundred departments, and there are six acres of selling space\u2014about as much as is projected by a number great stores.An army of over a thousand will be engaged for the various branches.The proportions of the building are absolutely classic, and the keynote of the whole is simplicity and refinement.\u2018The firm,\u2019 we read, \u2018has tried to present an atmosphere of \u2018welcome, as well as home-like comforts \u2018to its customers.\u201d Many novel features have been introduced.There are, for instance, drinking fountains on every floor, while every counter is provided with telephones.There is a fully equipped post and telegraph office, a com- pletely-organized steamship ticket office; & seat for any theatre may be booked at the theatre booking office; there is of our The report ot the \u201cSapirisgendent?TH \u201clibrary and reading, roorn splendidly Education: of this province just issued is, indeed; \u2018encouraging in many r It is aboke all encouraging in showing | that thé otal amount expended by the ratepayers of the province on the schools is steadily increasng.This should mean that the importance of education is being more and more appreciated by our people as \u2018a \u2018wholé; and in the long run, whether public instruction is\u2019 regarded as a burden or ae an investment, the great- | \u201d er part of its cost must necessarily come directly from the \u2018ratepayers and cons'i- | tute, by its volume, the measure of the public interest in education.The expenditure upon the schools is, in reality, one of the noblest and best investments of a people, and the work of true statesmanship is to encqurage this investment to the utmost.The best government aid, too, in this direction is the aid which helps the communities which are doing their best to help themselves.That the system of bonuses inaugurated by Sir Lomer Gouin is doing good work is amply ehown in the reports of the inspectors, many of whom speak in a mora hopeful tone of the epirit of progress than they have formerly.In view of the steady improvement in the more .recent past, we may look now for an upward bound as a result of this whcie- some government encouragement.The contributions of the ra\u2018epayers in taxes and fees since Confederation are instructive.In 1867-69 the total amount was $1,313,149; in 1877-78, $2,240,574; in 1887-78, $2,022,898; in 1892-03, $2,345753; in 1897-98, $2,608,121; in 1902-03, $3,234,- 074; in 1906-07, $4,050,741; in 1907-08, $4,- 465,537.The two \u201cchief pointe to be noticed in these figures are that in.1887- 88 there had been a remarkable decline in the public effort from the preceding decennial period, and that since 1887-88, a period.of twenty years, the contributions have more than doubled, while the population has only increased by perhaps twenty-five percent.The figures are \u2018encouraging, as also | are those of the government conimru- Jitions, which have increased from- $256, - 7762 at Confederation, to $683,350, in 1907- 08, and promise immediately to be s'ill greater.But, however gritifying the progress is .in the aggregate, it would be wrong to suppose that great effort on the part of the friends of educational progress was nct still called for.Compared with the outside, \u2018we are fir behind in the race.There is work of noble note yet to\u2019 be done.If parts of the province, Frenchepeaking and appointed; rooms set \u201capart especially ¥ for Colonial, French : and Garman visi- \u2018tors, each being luxuriantly furnished and decorated in \u2018harmony with the national style.There are interpreters for the monoglot stranger; there is a First Aid rodm,\u201d with nurses in attendance to give expert treatment in cases of accident or illness.There.is a Silence and .Rest room, where this awful warning to the fair sex is embossed on the wall: \u2018Ladies \u2018will refrain from conversation when in \u2018the silence room.\u201d Commenting upon which a joker remarks: \u201cI'he wisdom \u2018of providing a \u201cfirst aid\u201d room and a \u2018trained nurse only a few yards away is \u2018thus admirably demonstrated.The idea \u2018that ladies, say, at: the time of the great \u2018 \u201cbargain sales,\u201d will be able to obey \u2018that terrible mandate on the wall must \u2018have struck the projectors of this great \u2018enterprise as simply absurd.Hence, \u2018for those thrown into convulsions by \u2018the strain of * self-imposed silence the{ \u2018trained nurse and first aid.appliances \u2018will be ever available.\u201d There are for those fatigued by the distractions of shopping, daintily appointed restaurants and tea rooms; and on the topmost height of this magazine of goods there is a lovely roof garden and open-air lounges.There is a department for lost or strayed children, and the fact of the capture of any lost prodigal will be telephoned all over the building from a specially provided.room.In some respects, it will be seen, Selfridges: will beat Aladdin\u2019s Palace with : yards to spare.It is the glorification of shopping.The difficulty\" wil not be to get there, but ever to get away again.Like the man who went to Gardner's Hotel in Guernsey, meaning to stay a.week, and who remained for a life time, the casual shopper will want to take up a permanent residence in this marvel of wonder and comfort.But husbands with slender pocket-books will likely be more scared of; shopping than\u2018 ever: ms 0 STREET NUMBERING AND SEN SE.We protest against renumbering the streets \u2018north\u2019 and \u2018south\u2019 from a Sherbrooke street base, as is said to be proposed by the city post éffice authorities, It can do nobody any good except somebody who wants a job at nailing up bad \u2018number plates.There was reason for dividing the \u2018east\u2019 and \u2018west\u2019 streets af the.Main street, in the fact that a base of the province\u2014a diminution due, above | J home of her parents.En - to commence the numbers.B: tn carrying out of that scheme the re foolishness was manifested, tu, the number plates used and à.the numbering.An Incidenta, was the setting up of ten and monuments to an absur!

but it consisted in committing to memory long dissertations on the morals of Confucius, and the result was that men were appointed to the command of the army, or as admirals in the navy, mot because af \u2018their :ability to command, but because of -besing able to excel in passing an\u2019 examination on an antiquated code of morals, QUEBEC LEGISLATURE.The Premier Introduces an Important Amendment to Bill Respecting Montreal Royal Com- mission\u2014Mr.Tellier\u2019s Objections, MR.PREVOST RESUMES CRITICISM OF MR.TASCHEREAU'S WATER POWERS BILL, WHICH FINALLY CARRIES ON DIVISION, Quebec, March 26.\u2014Although the at- terlance was somewhat small in the Legislature to-day, as is the rule on Friday, M after mcst of the members have left to spend the week-end at home, the sitting was, however, productive of considerable work, more, in fact, than any other afternoon sitting this week, and was free from the usual prolonged discussion which held up the progress of the routine work.It is obvious that the Gov.rnment is not pleased with the manner in which the procedure has been delayed, for, at six o'clock before the House rose, Mr.Tellier proposed that like last week, the sitting might be prolonged until seven o'clock, when it would be adjourned until Monday.Sir Lomer Gouin objected, however, maintaining that so little work had been done since the beginning of the week, that it would be better to hold the night sitting.The Premier's bill to amend the Revised Statutes relative to conducting the inquiry in connection with the civic affairs of Montreal, was considered in committee, when the Premier amended hig measure, making those directly connected with the investigat'on more deeply concerned than ever in the ultimate results.The amendment, such as proposed by the Premier, was as follows: That if it is found by the investigation that any of the dvic employees or the dermen against whom the charges are levelled are guilty it will be left to the jurisdiction of the commissioners to determine what amount cf the cost of the inquiry they shall bear, and the same will apply to those by whom the charges were made, should the charges prove groundless.Mr.Tellier objected to the commis sioners being invested with such discretionary powers, which, he sid, would prevent the complainants from making their charges in good faith as they would not know what amount they would be Liable to pay in the event of their charges proving groundless.eThe Premier considered that it would be unfair to condemn the complainants to pay costs by rigorous rule, and it was accordingly provided that the commis- gioners have the discretion to impose the costs if the charges were not established, It would have the effect of not closing the doors to charges, and would prevent good faith from being an excuse for groundless accusations.What was wanted, Sir Lomer Gouin declared, was a measure that would give to the citizens of Montreal the free inquiry which they bad - requested.; The bill was given a secand readirg, ed end will come up for third reading on Monday.The debate on the second reading of r, Taschereau\u2019s bill respecting the ex- -propriation of lands for the development and utilization of certain water powers, brought mp considerable debate in which Mr.Prevost, Mr.Lavergne and Mr.Taschereau took part.Mr.Prevost was opposed to the bill, and declared that it would only prove its usefulness in the cise when propmetors of lands would refuse to sell, Mr.Lavergne declared that he was astonished that a government which called itself Liberal should propose such a measure.He deplored the sacrifice of water powers, which, he said, had been made by government, and he referred to a sale at Shawinigan where a hundred thousand horse power had been scold for sixty thousand dollars, and of that power onl forty thousand horse power was used, the remainder being a dead loss.Mr.Taschereau remark:d that it was out of question when discussing the merits of a bill to criticize the sales of water powers made by the government.When preparing his bill Mr.'Tascher- eau said he had treated the question with experts, who had told him that from personal experience they had wit- neseed the serious retardment in the development of certain provincial water powers due to the absence of such a inea- sure, : Such a law was enforced in all parts of the United States, and 4 was acknowledged as the only effective means of developing the water powers.It had been enforced in Ontario since 1887, and although it even exacted expropria:ion On , Artificial water powers in that province no complaints had ever been made against it.A vote was then taken on the bill and resulted in a striet party vote, with the exception of Mr.Prevost, who voted with the Opposition.The bill was carried on a division of 23 to 7, after which it was passed in second reading.COLONIZATION ! A debate resulted on an amount of $170,000 for colonization roads, when the House went into supply on the estimates.The Hon.Mr.Prevost wished to be informed what amount would be given to cach county for the next year, and an e was impossible to do so, and that the Lion.Mr.Prevest had never done so, when he was minister, the Hon.Mr.Prevost protested, and said that he had always done am \u2018 Hon.Mr.Devlin declaring that it.The Chinese were an intelligent people, and while they had so long shut themselves in from the outer world, the Japanese and Boxer wars had opensi their eyes to the necessity of the new ways of the west.Now, western education is everywhere sought after.\u2018I'he western teaching of the missionaries that had been hcretofore despised, had come to be sought after, and men 3n power did not object to have their sons go to Christian schools and even receive Christian teaching, soc that they might secure the new learning.But with the passing of the old order, Con- fucianiem and its code of morals was passing away.It was not compatible with the ways of the west.What was to take its place ?Was it to be secularism ?God forbid! That would be worse than paganism.Could Mohammedanism or Hindooism or Shin- tooism take its place ?These, too, were incompatible with the study and pursuit of nature.There remained for Christians the responsibility to send them Christianity.China, to be saved from a worse state than her first, must needs be Christianized.All Christendom should and must, therefore, put forth a stupendous effort to secure this end.\u20ac A vote of thanks to Professor Moore was proposed by the Rev.J.K.*Ains- worth, and seconded by Mr.A.-R.Grafton.During the evening Mr.Giles gave selections from Dr.Drummound\u2019s \u2018Habitant,\u201d and Miss Hemming sang most acceptably.DR.MOORE DEFINES +.\" CHRISTIANITY.Ce pe The Rev.Principal Hill presided at the gathering in the Congregational Col- {lege yesterday, when Dr.Moore read a paper on \u2018Some modern interpretations of Christianity in the light of the his tory of religion.\u201d The speaker reviewed the influence of Christianity upon the thought of various ages and the influence tof human sonceptions of truth and duty upon practical religion.The question, \u2018What is Christianity ?\u201d was not easy to answer to everybody's satisfaction, for different people in different places and times, had vastly diferent conceptions of its meaning and essence.\u2018The Modern views and methods of expressing those views were widely divergent.Some contended that Christianity was health to the body as well as the soul; others that it meant chiefly social amelioration.To one only aggressive, sacrificing, heroic and reformative religion was worthy the name of Christianity, while to another solitude, meditation, and spiritual communion were the embodiment of Christianity.\u2018the if- ference between those who cared nothing for social conditions so long as they were happy and at peace, and the.others who would willingly suffer or give their lives for the betterment of their fellows, was very wide.Religion in es sence might be the same to both, but it acted with opposite effects on the two ad Time to save China ce en ee classes of believers, largely ag the result of the differnt viewnoint or of the presstire of human influences.Christianity, as practiced and taught by many, would never have assumed the form in which it was seen to-day !f left alone; in fact, it was rather religion than Christianity.Christ would.probably recognize little of his life or teaching in it.We were quite free, sôme- times, in expressing our opinions of other pcople\u2019s views and conduct;

Winnipeg follows strongly on the lead raimed in January, by another tremen- «us advance of 1.425 percent; while Calgary eloquently attests to her prodi- mous growth by again coming to the iront with a gain of 230.90 percent for the month.A material increase is also :0 be noted in the case of Regina.which turns up with 169.90 percent in her javor, and again in the amounts of Vancouver and Victoria, both of which overlap last year\u2019s figures for the month by 11.61 percent and 68.15 percent in order named.It is interesting to note the strong reaction on the part of Fort William, Toronto and Halifax the only taree places which registered a decline ir January.Fort William has not only regained # large portion of what she lost, but tops the list for the month with the slriking gain of over 2,925 percent the largest increase to be recorded during tie month.Toronto has more than redeemed herself by an increase of 68.19 yercent and is mo far away ahead in tt» vear's work; while the gain in Hali\u2018ax of 40.79 percent more than off- &et any loss in January and gives the city a total valuation of permits for the fist two months elightly in excess of trat for the corresponding period of last year.There is also a strong forward movement in Montreal, where a eplendid increase of 104.86 percent added to the gain made in Januarv, gives the metropolis a verv substantial margin in her favor which promises to be materially extended as the season advances.Quebec citv also shows a most healthful condition and has a gain for the month of 109.30 percent, Peterborough recisters a gain of 29.30 vercent, while Windsor, Kingston and Perlin show much activity for so early in the season, Reports as to the future are of a \u201crst sanguine nature.Edmonton sends word that \u2018outlook is bright\u2019: while \u201crs report ag follows: Brandon, \u2018fair- wood\u2019; Calgary.\u2018looks bright\u2019: Fort William.\u2018very bright\u2019; Kingston.\u2018very £ nd: London.\u2018\u201csplendid*: Regina.\u2018many Duildings in contemplation\u2019: Winnipeg, bright\u2019; Berlin.Ont \u2018good.\u2019 REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.\u2014 Zenon Collette has sold to Joseph St Pierre lot No.3884, in Ville Emard.for No.7 BLEURY STREZT\u20144ih FLOOR, no better site fn the city for whole- exceptionally well Lighted and heated; possession March.41 SO, No.5 BLEURY STREET, now occupied by the Hammond Typewriting NOS.82, 84.56, 5S CONWAY STREET.consisting of large building suitable large building immediately in rear, divided by lane and faclog on Britanula I am offering this désiraole property at a very low price.Woodlands would do; want 5 bedrooms; would pay $Z00 for the season.À.W.D.HOWELL, 212 ST.JAMES ST.cri.SALE feet: large vault; hardwood floors,aprink- sior.May.butcher shop and stable, and another near water front, west of Dorval, or at completed only last autumn.The site contains 17,000 square feet, with a frontage on Cote St.Antoine road of 144 feet.It is said that the property yields an annual revenue of about $13,000.Adelard Giguere has sold to Mrs.Hormisdas St Amand lots 3405-864 and on Edna street, for $3,550.W.M.Marler has sold to W.T.Heney the vacant lots 12-17-2 and 3, in St.Louis, for the sum of $3,300.; Mrs.A.T.Constantin has sold to Joseph P.Tremblay a property fronting on Langevin street, on St.Marguerite and St.James streets, in St.enn, for $19,500.\u2019 !

but I wanted teachers to see that by the proposed law it was possible for a woman teaching thirty years, with a sal ary of $1,500 per annum, and paymg an annual stoppage of 330 to retire, after her thirty years of service.on a pension of 31.350 annually; while a man with a family, teaching in the same school, at a salary of £2,000, and paying an annual stoppage of $40, would nced to teach thirty-five years before he could receive the maximum pension for men of 2803.Perhaps Misses Jam and Macmartin will kindly show me how my particular pension concerns this discussion.Per- sonallv, 1 have nothing to gain, and, beyond a little popularity, mot very much to lose from this controversy.1 wish teachers who, speaking generally, are very ignorant of the subject, and the people who are more intimately related toit than they suppose, to know the provisions of the Pension Act, and the meaning of proposed changes.But my pension does not arise from the existing act, which I think much better than the one on which my pension rests, My pension is a survival from a former act.T was entitled to retire on the pension: T now enjoy when the present law was enacted.The \u2018curiously worded clause\u2019 to which exception is taken, was inserted by the late Treasurer of the Province, the Hon.Mr.Duffy, to conserve vested rights.Instead of retiring.I continred for many years to teach.thus saving the pension fund several thousand dollars.Only when incapacitated by infirmity did 1 retire.I venture to think that when my private affairs are held up to public inspection, only the truth should be told about them.TI Jo not receive $1,050 per annum from the teachers\u2019 pension fund.The amount for each of three years is $491.18.If 1 survive, 1 expect then to receive $1,029 per annum from that fund.But I shall have long outlived the septuagenaran limit of human life, before I shall receive one Worricd to Death Indigestion.Loss of Sleep.Heart Palpitation.À case that proves prompt action is wise when health is poer.\u2018At night I would wake up with vague feelings of fear and numbness in my hands and other ptrts of the body,\u2019 writes Mr.E.X.Smeaton, of St.John\u2019s.\u2018FE had grown thin and pale, and at night it was very difficult to get enouch warmth in my feet to get asleep.\"My digestion was poor, and appetite very upcertain.The form of nervousness that worried me most was sthrting at every Little thing, which resulted in such violent heart action as sometimes frignt- ened me.Finally I had to give up- my work, which was inside office work, so languid, nervous and weak had I become.Through the intervention of a friend I was induced to use .Ferrozéme.My appetite improved at once, circâla- tion also improved and Ferrozone : accomplished the renewal of my blood and nstural warmth seemed to come back to my limbs.At the same time Ferrozone built up my constitution.I became quite strong and resumed my occupa- tipn.In brief, I am well\u2019 Ferrozone is the only remedy of its kind in the world\u2014it makes you feel better at once;

\u2018Witneass.\u2019) Sir,\u2014The writer wishes to compliment the \u2018Witness\u2019 on its recent timely editorial respecting suburbs granting franchises, contracting large debts, etc., which must all some day be to the detriment of the expansion of Montreal city to its natural limits.Being interested in western suburban development, the writer has concluded that it is about time that the town, so-called, of Notre Dame de Grace, had a brake put on it, as the ideas of some of its exploiters are too far in advance of common éense and business, and when the next tax bills come in they will frighten intending settlers.A fifty- year franchise\u2014really perpetual\u2014with the Park & Island Railway, is one of the franchises granted, and if this is not yet ratified, the writer believes the \u2018Witness\u2019 would do a good thing for the people to assist in having it blocked.As a sample of what a brilliant piece of business it is, enclosed you will find a car ticket for school children, which reads: \u2018Montreal Park & Island Railway Co., school children\u2019s ticket, good for one fare in the town of Notre Dame de Grace and city of Westmount.\u2019 This means that, when through cars are run, the user of this ticket must get off at, or west of, Atwater avenue.In any case, going back again, unless the child pays an extra fare, it cannot get on east of Atwater avenue.This means the same rate as for adults.The writer has proven this a number of times and knows what he is talking about.There never was auch a glaring gift of the | rights of any people to a company as the above franchise.This is the same franchise which the people of Montreal West turned down, and they should be complimented for their foresight.In their case, the franchise reads, \u2018for a term of fifty years, the town having an option to buy that portion of the road at the expiration of that time, but failing to do that, the company has another five years to run, or words to this effect.This is a pretty slick clause, and the remarkable thing about it is that in speaking of it, it is mentioned as \u2018a fifty year franchise,\u2019 whereas, as may be seen, it is perpetual.EXAMINARY.\u2014 RE COMPULSORY EIGHT-HOUR DAY BILL.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014As manufacturers who are anxious to\u2018 keep our prices as low as posible to consumers, it has occurred to us that you might feei dis- poscd to assist in opposing the passing of the compulsory eight-hour day Lill, which has been introduced in the Dominion House of Commons by the president of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, Mr, Alphonse Verville, M.D.lt this bill becomes law, it would be only admitting the thin edge of the wedge, which will undoubtedly eventually mean, that the price of every manufactured article will be greatly increased without any advantage whatever to the great majority of consumers.Some of the principal objections to the bill are as follows: 1.If passed, it would prohibit every employer and evcry employee who works more than eight hours à day from shar- mg in the government business, \u201c2.It would piace a discount on ambition, the inherent right of the individaal to raise himself above the level of his fcllows by extra work, or effort, would be denied him.3.Once we have fully recovered from the present industrial depression.there will again be a shortage of help; a ve duction ip the hours of labor would mean that this shortage would be tremendous: ls accentuated.4.A shorter working day would mean a greatly increased cost of producticn, which in turn would mean a very material advance in the price charged the consumer.5.With an increased ~ost of production Canadian manufacturers would be at a decided disadvantage in meeting foreign competition, bot) at home and abroad.Jt would be suicidal on our part to enforce an eightthour day vhen ile keenest European competition we have to meet is from countries where a ten, eleven and twelve-hour day is still the rule, 6.The shorter hours of labor in town end city workshops have alrealy proved a wonderfully strong attraction in influencing wep to leave the farm and have greatly increased the \"difficuity of obtaining and retaining the right kind of farm help.If these hours are now reduced to eight per day, hired help for the farmer will te more difficult than ever to secure and retain.7.Organized labor.which, it is believ- td represents only eight percent of the ictal labor vote, should not be allowed to impose conditions which would hamper the development of Canadian indus Ty.Our latest advices from Ottawa indi- cafe that the above measure is develon- ing some strength owing to the fact that members representing industrial constituencies are afraid to oppose it for {ear of antagonizing organized labor.1f it is \u2018to be defeated therefore, it must be by the assistance of members representing rural constituencies.\u2018These will not fall to pay heed te any recommendations they receive from the farmers, and the farmers can best be reached through the agricultural press.As this is a matter of considerable importance,.we hope that you may fe-l disposed to immediately strongly vro- nounée agaiwst the bill to your farmer readers, because of the effect it certainly will have in increasing the price of commodities, in drawing workers away from the farm and consequently, in lengthening the hours of labor for those who remain on the farms.MANAGING DIRECTOR.Note.\u2014The moral question seems to be whether the average man can best fulfii his calling and do most for mankind in eight hours or in more.Some eay that, if a man wished to, he could do more and better in eight hours than in ten; but that doeg not seem to be as sumed, or aimed at, on either side.Even if most men did better in the long run in eight hours than in ten, there is the further question whether the man or the calling that does not come under this mile ehou!d be forced to accept it.Would the workers.and, what is far more important.would society as a whole be the better of the change ?If that is proved let us have it; if not, not.OUR TIMBER TREES.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014 read with interest the letter signed \u2018Ontario\u2019 and your comment on it in your issue of the 20th inst,

\u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014In reading your issue of March 13, I read a letter written by a person who signe himself \u2018Home Missionary.\u201d With your permission, sir, | would like to ask this brother a few questions, arising out of his letter.And first, why does he not sign lis proper name?Is heu asbamed ot his name?\u201d Or is he afraid of it7 Surely a \u2018ilome Missionary ot all men is not afraid to let his name Le known in anything he may find 1t his duty to do.1 would also ask \"Home Missionary\u2019 where has he labored?For, if he has been in the work in the West, he must know what was one of the greatest difficulties Dr.Robertson had, namely, to get the right kind of men.May I say | speak from many years of personal work in the West.I know the toil, the trials, of our dear, faithful superintendent, and am prepared to prove that his biographer has not overdrawn the facts in this matter, and especially in the chapter under the heading, \u2018Handling his men.I think the heading is very appropriate and well adapted to set forth facts, which could not be kept out of Dr.Robertson's biography.\u2018Home Missionary\u2019 must know that even the Presbyterian Church in Canada \u2018has not always found men who are faithful to their charge and sincere in their work.And many of us, before \u2018Ralph Connor\u2019 was known to any but his parents and his professors, knew that the greatest difficulty Dr.Robertson had was from the unsuitability and unfaithfulness of men who had come West to do the work of the church.Let me give an instance.At the first meeting of Presbytery, I had attended, held in Wolseley Church, the ministers were speaking of their fields.To my surprise some referred to the fact that they had been accustomed to close the places of worship on the prairie during the winter months.I expressed my sut- prise, and asked if the Presbytery expected to keep the churches in a healthy spiritual condition by this practice, by thus leaving them without services for at least five months in the year.I protested against the practice.and from that time it ended: but I also rémember one member of Presbytery especially took a decided dislike to me for the stand I took, and after the meeting closed T found T had unwittingly taken the same position as Dr.Robertson had taken on a previous occasion.Will \u2018Home Missionary\u2019 tell me what would have been the condition of the church life in the West had that practice been continued?I think all friends of the \u2018great and good\u2019 superintendent are very thankful to our brother C.W.Gordon, who has given such a real lifelike portrait of Dr.Robertson.For myself I may say that I and my two sons.who are in the work, have each a copy, and consider the book second to none we have for its mental and epiritual inspiration in our work.I would suggest that \u2018Home Missionary\u2019 read it again and again, till he becomes filled with the samesspirit which has characterized C.W.Gordon and James Robertson in doing the work of the Presbyterian Church and seeking to extend the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.JOHN FERRY.The Mange, Warroad, Min., March 17, 1908.fees MODERN PREACHING\u2014IS IT DOCTRINAL OR ETHICAL ?(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Eir,\u2014$o divergent are the opinions of men concerning things theological that no doctrinal reference can be made in any pulpit without eliciting a tacit contradiction in some pew.\u2018The terms \u2018theological disputation\u2019 and doctrinal preaching are therefore synonymous.That \u2018the whole tendency of modern preaching Is to eeek the highest inspiration to the noblest living\u2019 I shall not dispute.The present question is not the end of the preacher, but his means.The \u2018experience\u2019 of any one man is not an infallible guide to correct conclusions.1 myself am influenced by my own experience only as far as that \u2018experience confirms the truth of statements made v other men of wider experience broader outlook.P and _ In his last work, \u2018The New Evangelism,\u201d Henry Drummond says: \u2018The Church has spent the centuries in teaching men man\u2019s duty to God.Is it not time for the Church to begin to tcach men man\u2019s duty to man?Or, in other words: The pulpit has spent the centuries in doctrinal preaching.Is it not time to begin to teach men along ethical ines ?In my own church it has long been a stereotyped maxim that the duty of the preacher is to inculcate doctrine, snd: that that duty done the ethical will, as a logical result, manifest itself in human life.To say of one of the preach- crs of my own church that he is an ethical preacher would he tantamount to à statement that he had perverted the function of his

the grown girl while on a forced trip for the pew governor, Pach- kin.Short happiness was the portion of the young couple, for after the birth of a Mitle daughter the elder Iline was de=- patched by Paschkin on a trip from which he never returned, ais wife soon fading away under his lose.Shortly also Stepan fell under the governor's displeasure and was compelled to perpetual wanderings, not being allowed to e'ay more than tea days in any one place, and debarred from entering Irkutsk province.Fast drifting to want and despair accident made \u2018it possible for him to help the old Jewish pedler Peter Krop, who in return fitted Stepan out as a pedler and at last in spite of the treachery of her father, brought Katia with her two children eafe- ly to Stepan\u2019s care.A period of joyful carefree wandering then began, lasting through the summer even into the winter, Katia refusing to leave Steran for anything.The chief fear of Stepan was the wolves, and when the great storm came, snowing them up on the road, to the point of starvation almost, the last horror was an attack by a mck of the hunery brutes Stepan fought them like a madman, and slew Oo many that the rest slunk away.then he ventured out, the storm teing over, to struggle back with Katia, the children, and one horse, to the nearest town.Here, however, he had already stayed ten days, and the governor insisted

dragged on, and another winter passed, and to all outward cbser- vation no quieter triveller crosved the steppes than Stepan Iline in his sum- blistered, weather-beaten house on whee's.Not a woman in all the villages but was glad to see him, though his face was gloomy beyond the ordinary run of men, and he had few words and no tattle.+ Not a child was afraid of him or ever had a rough word from him.Indeed, he had little notice for them, even when they clustered over curiously round his house and got in his way; not more than a tightening of the lips and a s'iffening of the face.But inside the house on wheels was a long gun kept always bright and clean and well oiled, and always loaded and ready; and a spear that had drunk blood, and gleamed viciously in the lamplight as though thirsting for more; and an axe with an edge like a knife.And sometimes, of a winter's night, he would heft the axe, as he touched up the edge with his stone, and thrill with the feel of it as it swunz in his strong brown band.And when he did that, \u201cIts Only a Cold, A Trifling Cough.\u201d Thousands bave said this when the eaught cold.Thousands have neglect to cure the cold.Thousands have

holy images, always gave a jump and a flutter, and thereafter watched him gloomily.The gun was good, and the spear was good, but the axe was the weapon Step- an loved.Its bite was so much c'oser and more intimate.You could feel the death in it as it ehore through the life that had to go, feel it close, in your very hand as it were, a very part of your very self.Yes, it should be with the axe that he would deal the blows that paid for little Stepan and for Katenka and for Katia.And then he would pase his stone lovingly along the hungry, curving beak of it, though it was already as true and keen as cunning hand and bitter heart could make #.For the life that had to go before it was Paschkin\u2019s.And the lives that it had to take toll for were Baby Stepan\u2019s, and little Katenka\u2019s, and Katia\u2019s.Time ran on.The summer suns blistered the paint o the house cn wheels, till it chipped and fell off.The autumn rains and winter winds and snows beat upon it, the dust and the mud clung to it, till at last it became all one coor and that a dingy gray, the color of the muddy roads.\u2018But why don\u2019t you paint your house again, Stepan Ivanovitch?they asked him at times: and all that he answered was, \u2018Why should I paint it?For at any time that might happen which would end his wanderings, and another s, and he lived only in the hope it.Summers and winters passed.and still he wandered quietly in and out among them\u2014waiting, waiting, waitin , for the fulfilment of his heart\u2019s nly desire, his only com 1 little white owl.; panion the His mind.intent only upon that one hope, and brooding over it night and dav became somewhat closed to outward things.He moved and spoke and acted in a way that showed his thoughts were busy with other matters.But the little white brother never suffered any peglect, for little Katenka had loved im., The village folk said that he was ag- Ing quickly since his wife died.Some said that his mind was failing.At all times now he was very deliberate in his movements.What need for haste In a man who was only waiting for one thing, the comin~ of which he could not hasten?And he was very silent.He said just what had to be said and no more.Of a night, by the inn stove, while others talked and laughed, and drank more than was good for them, he would sit, neither speaking nor listening, seeing things that were very far off, in a way that was somewhat disconcerting to strangers, though those who knew him and hia story were not troubled at it.In any one who came from Irkutsk, or could give him news of it.he was more interested.He would occasionally even question them as to what they knew of Paschkin and his doings.But quietly always, and not in such a way as to excite any.suspicion of undue interest on his part.He traded still, but more because it was expected of him than from the desire of gain.The women in all the villages he touched would have felt a gan in their lives, and a considerable difference in their minute treasuries, if his rounds had ceased, for he gave them most astonshing bargains.They rejoiced in him, and he would not dis- apnoint them.Then, too, his trading all unconsciously kept his mind just sufficiently occupied to retain its balance.He never reasoned about it, but he felt that it was better to have something to do besides brooding constantly on the past and the future.Time enough he had for brooding indeed.Perhaps his purpose drew strength from occasional diversion from itself, perhaps he pondered it the more deep- y and cogently when he returned from the slight intercourse he maintained with his fellows.If he had retired into the wilderness, as he had felt \u2018tempted to do, doubtless his wits would have become addled like Gnut\u2019s, in his lonely hut on the river bank.* But his purpose never failed.His gun was always oiled and loaded.His spear and his axe were always edged for elaughter.The one and only fear he had was lest his enemy should escape by some other death than the one he held for him.* And, since all things come to him who waits long enough, Stepan Iline\u2019s time came at last.The waiting had been long.Full seven years had passed since Katia died, but the bitterness of his batred.was in no wise blunted.Life for life, blood for blood\u2014nothing less would satisfy him.It was in the town of Krasnoiarsk that he heard the news.\u2018Great times!\u2019 said the host of his little inn cheerfully.when Stepan turned in to warm his half-frozen feet at the ptove, after seeing to his horses and before leaving his papers with the Dolice.\u2018Why, then, Philip Alexandrovitch?asked Stepan, with small interest.\u2018If you had arrived a day sooner, you would have seen them.Governor Tatukof arrived first last night.and very soon after him came his Excellency from Irkutsk, the great Pasch- kin.Tatukof had ten Cossacks and Paschkin had fifty.\u2019 Stepan was listening now with every nerve on the strain, but he sat quietly, though the blood wus jumping in his veins and drumming in his ears so that for a minute or two he could hardly hear the other speaking.\u2018They all went off this morning.Tatu- kof back to Minusinsk, and Paschkin for St.Petersburg.They say the Empress wants him for her right-hand man.They\u2019ll have bad times there when Paschkin is right-hand man to Empress.Ah, God, yes! He was wise to being fifty Cossacks with him through his own country.There\u2019s many & man would give his head to break Pasch- kin\u2019s, from all accounts.They say he is the Devil.A bold man, too.His | Cossacks go back to-morrow, and he went on this morning in two sledges, and they travelled, I can tell you.The Empress must want him badly, he was | in such & berry.What, you ere off the THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, SATURD Do you not stay the night, \u2018That depends,\u201d said Stepan, controlling himeelf mightily.\u2018I have a call to make.If it is not successful I may have to go on at once to Abrova,\u2014 ten miles away on the road to Minu- sinsk, on the same side of the river as Paschkin was on,\u2014\u2018and as I must travel \u2018fast to catch my man, I will leave my house with you.You must keep it safe till I return, Philip Alexandrovitch, and see to my little white owl.If my man has left Abrova, I must follow him.\u2019 \u2018Da! ou travellers! Such bustle always.You have not time to eat or drink.\u2019 But Stepan wes halfway down the street, thinking as collectedly as the Jumping blood in his head would let im.An hour later he was speeding as fast as three horses could carry him along the Tomsk road- He had left the town, indeed, as though for Abrova, but once clear of it had made a circuit across country.over the snow, till he struck the road along which Governor Pasch- kin hed travelled only that mornmg: He calculated that Paschkin had at least twelve hours\u2019 start of him.He would have the pick of the horses at every town or village.\u2018I'he chances of catching him were small, unless by the accidents of the road, but it was In those chances of the road that nis hope lay.It might be days, it might be weeks, before he caught him.He was prepared to follow if it took a year.The hot blood that raced In his veins lifted him above any feeling of cold or weariness.For seven long years he had waited, round the corner of a mighty Rope ag It were, and at last that for which he had waited lay in the open before him.And so the blood raced in his veins and gallop- od in his head, and he chirruped and called to his horses, and felt like shouting aloud for joy of the hour that was coming\u2014thag must come, he raid to himself\u2014that should come, no matter what stood between, now that the quarry had broken cover at last.In these few short hours, heard of Paschkin\u2019s journey, he had lived more vitally dhan in all the last seven years.: No one would have believed that this keen-faced man urging his horses along the snowy road was the same who plod- ed wearly into Krasnoiarsk a few hours before, Nor was it.That was Stepan Iline, trodden of Paschkin.This was Stepan lline, the Avenger of Blood, on Paschkin\u2019s track.Two very different men and yet at heart the same.the down- It was the change which takes place} in the beast of prey, lying listless, with flexed limbs and half-closed eves, when suddenly his quarry pasees, and in a moment he is : sinew strung and death in the pinching of his tight-closed face.In that short hour at Krasnotarsk he had thought and acted quickly.The sledge and horses he had hired for .8 journey to Abrova, but had left their full value with the owner as pledge ot their safe return.Their return at all was more than doubtful, but he would have no man suffer through him.He had bought provisions for many days, and by his side in the sledge lay his gun, his spear, and the axe with which he intended to deal Paschkin those three last eatisfying blows, one for Baby Stenan, one for httle Katenka, and one for Katia.That *Paschkin travelled with twa sledges, which meant attendants, dad not trouble him in the least.If the choice were given him, he would sooner fight his way to his man.inch by inch, with the other watching his coming, and knowing what it meant, than find him lying helpless and oven to his assault.He wanted to feel that mighty thrill of battle once again, with the death of Paschkin as its climax.And for these things he was ready to give lis life.Ready ?\u2014ay, eager, keen-set, and as careless\u2019 of consequences as a great tusked boar of the woods; for, once he had settled with Paschkin, he had nothing left to live for.The chase, barring much-to-be-desir- ed accidents in front, might, he knew, be a long one.Two thousand miles of bad rcad lay between Paschkin and the Urals, and anywhere on that road the end might come\u2014the end of the chase.and the end of Paschkin, and maybe the end of himself.And Stepan Ilme drove his horses joyously.(To be Continued.)

MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, SATURDAY, MARCH.27, 1909.vhs ocnerlud or uf ru: Gg rT.A PR - _ \u2014 one The Boys\u2019 Page.The Prospector\u2019s Snake Party (By Herbert Coolidge, in the \u2018Youth\u2019s Companion.\u2019) During my journey across the sandy, timbered plain at the foot of Mount Shasta I overtook a rough old \u2018lumber jack,\u201d who was walking out to join a timber crew near Bartles.lle responded heartily to the proffer of a ride, anl when we camped at one of the little creeks which trickle down from the resplendent crest of the grand old mountain, he proved himself a capital entertainer.Of the ensuing flow of reminiscent narrative, | still have in nind the story of Sandy Lockwood's snake party.Lockwood was a prospector whom my companion had known in the early days when mining in the Sierra Madre Mountains.In the opinion of the worldly lumber jack be was a very odd character, as he had a Bible, which he read every evening.Furthermore, he lived thie precepts of the Good Book even to the point of returning good for evil on ail Occasions.In the spring of \u201864 Lockwood, wno was a \u2018pocket prospector.made a rich find, and as he never squandered his money in drinking or gambling, he was believed to have a large amount of gold in his cabin.One day a miner came to the old man.\u2018Sandy,\u2019 he said, \u2018yesterday 1 heard a couple of gamblers at the lower camp planning to knock you in the head tonight and take your sack.Lockwood was mightily grieved over this, but finally began to laugh, saying: \u2018Joe, you smuggle yourself into my cabin some time before dark, and we'll teach those lads a lesson.\u2019 ; The precarious business of hunting for pockets had in years gone by often fos J the prospector to live by cateh- ing live rattlesnakes, which he shipped to a collector for Eastern zoological gardens.As soon as his friend departed, he shouldered his snake-catching outfit and set off for the mountains.A few hours later he returned with a dozen lively rattlers squirming about in a gunny-sack.After dinner he extracted the fangs of the reptiles by means of a strip of soft buckskin which he flaunted before them, giving the tough substance a dexterous twitch as the dripping poison hooks struck into it.When he had reduced the last of his venomous catch to the harmlessness of a dove, he proceeded to make a door in the floor of his cabin, and finally to construct a dummy, which he clothed in his miner's canvas coat and overalls, and then by skilful propping, made to assume a friendly upright posture just inside the doorway.| When the miner came, a little after nightfall, Sandy told him to climb up into the oak that shaded the front ot the cabin.\u2018Don\u2019t make a chirp or a rustle, he said, \u2018until they are both inside.Then jump down quick as you can, slam the door shut, and prop this chunk of wood against it.I've got a friend here who is going to stand up for me and have his head broken.The \u2018friend\u2019s\u2019 head was made of a boulder wrapped in a flour sack.i \u2018It sounds like a real pate, doesn\u2019t it?continued Lockwood, removing the hat and giving the bogus skull a rap with a piece of wood.Until late in the evening there was no sound but that of the night wind swishing through the pine-tops.Then the watchers heard men approaching on the trail which led up the canon.They were chatting cheerily, and stumbled along over the boulders after the manner of well-intentioned citizens.Approaching the cabin, one of them knocked loudly.\u2018Who's there?What d\u2019ye wanc?mumbled a sleepy voice from inside.\u2018Friends from the lower camp, was the reply.For some minutes there were sounds of bare feet shuffling about on the floor, and presently a light glimmered through the crack beneath the door.\u2018Come on in, said the sleepy man.¢ The latch-string\u2019s on the outs:de.There was a moment of hesitation, Then the door was opened quickly, and the foremost ruffian bounded forward.Confronting him -in the half-gloom of the dimly lighted cabin, a form stood with outstretched, welcoming hand, and the murderous gambler struck at it with all his might.There was a thud as the sand-bag landed, followed by the sprawl of a lifeless body settling to the foor.\u2018 Get yourself in here!\u2019 ordered the sandbagger, in a shrill, nervous whisper.*Hurry! Lock up, strike a light.He put the candle out when he fell.Hark! he quickly added.\u2018Douse your match! What bumped the door ¥ The gamblers listened with nerves aquiver.Outside the night wind shifted gently through the pines, and inside \u2014was it inside *\u2014there was a dry, scratchy whisper as of scaly forins creep- ing\u2014then silence\u2014again the creeping.\u2018 Sounds lke snakes!\u2019 gasped one, at last.\u201cLet's strike a light.\u2018Keep your light doused !\u201d hissed the other.\u2018It\u2019s someone outside.\u2019 Very lightly he stole toward the barred window.le was bending forward for a peep outside when a steaithy tiptoe pressed a vielding form that rattled terribly at one end and struck at his leg with the other \u2018Snakes!\u2019 velled the gambler, and his blood-curdling Yell awoke the echoes of the canyon as he bounded towards the ceiling.The men were silent then the shrill whir of rattlers filled the cabin.¢ Snakes!\u2019 In a hoarse, tremulous whisper the gamblers uttered the word, as in darkness and confusion they fumbled for matches A7 ps TT \u2018 Look out!\u201d velled a scared voice from beneath the house.\u2018My goodness, boys, don\u2019t get afoul of those rattlers!\u2019 The voice was strikingly like that of the man they supposed they had killed; but this the gamblers failed to notice.Stirred by the same wild impulse, they landed with a simultaneous crash against the barricaded door.Again they gathered themselves for a lunge, but the whizzing alarm of an angry reptile beneath their feet sent them pell-mell to the barred windows.\"l'he terror in the cries for help which then arose sent the chills over men at the lower camp far down the canyon.Lockwood and his friend met the crowd that came scrambling up the trail.and explained the situation.* Hurry up, and let them out!\u201d urged Lockwood, in hurried conclusion.\u2018I'm afraid the lads will be scared plumb genseless.\u2019 When the door was thrown open the \u2018had -men\u2019 were found standing together on Lockwood's bunk, striking matches with trembling fingers, shooting at the crawling snakes in the brief flashes of light, and velling in helpless terror through intervals of fumbling and dark- news, The alacrity with which the scared gamblers threw themselves into the arms nf their cantors raised a laugh, but this chertly turned into an angry demand far a lynching when, after Lockwood had sacked his rattlers, the party entered the cabin, where the prostrate form of the sand-bagged dummy offered silent evidence of the attempted crime.According to my friend the lumber Jack, nothing but a very vigorous stand on the part of the jeculiar Lockwood saved the captured sand-baggers from summary execution.Thc old prospector's plea for the culprits must have made a deen impression, for my companion, who was one of the men present, gave it at leng:h, ending triur- phantly with the conclusion verbatim : \u2018The object of punishment is reform and not vengeance.\u2018These lads have had a chance to sec themselves as others see them.Give them a chance to live down this sorry vision.\u2019 l'he anpeal carried, and the offenders were released with the understanding that they should hurriedly move from that vicinity.One of the men was never heard of again, but the other my informant afterward met in Dallas, Texas, where for many years he had been an exemplary citizen.rset TRIAL OF SEVEN PRISONERS.This is the report of the trial of seven famous prisoners.They have long becn public and private nuisances, and \u2018heir arrest and punishment seemed to be urgently called for.Now for the trial: \u2018Your names?\u2018Didn\u2019t Think.\u201d \u2018Don\u2019t Care.\u2019 \u2018Didn\u2019t Mcan To.\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t Want To.\u2019 \u2018Didn\u2019t Know.\u2018Billy Won\u2019t.\u2019 pommy Can\u2019t.\u2018Didn\u2019t Think, you're the first one to be tried.The evidence against you of causing no end of worry in the world is overwhelming.You \u201cdidn\u2019t think\u201d of any one but vourself; you didn\u2019t work your brains enough to think beyond your nose.\u201chy.ask, did you lead suc life ?Why?\u2019 uch a \u201c\u2019Cause I didn\u2019t\u2014think,\u2019 stuttered the wretched prisoner.\u2018Just so.just so.Then I'll sentence you for life to a lonely Crusoe Island.where you wil have plenty of time to think, and where, if you don't think, you'll not harm any one but your own unhappy self.\u2019 \u2018Don\u2019t Care!

he had money to burn, (for he was sailing master of one of Dampier\u2019s privateers- men, and took his share of prize money when he parted from his commander at the island), and this and his notoriety kept him afloat for some years.Daniel De Foe was what we should nowadays call a newspaper man.De Foe met Selcraig, and knew he had a \u2018beat.\u2019 We do not know how long De Foe was in placing his story.It was refused everywhere, and when finally, in 1719, he found a small job printer with sufficient enterprise to risk fifty dollars on] it.it appeared as a pamphlet with the same sort of title as a news story might bear to-day in its subhead.viz.: \u201cThe life and strange surprising adventures of Robinson Cruso of York, mariner; who lived eight and twenty years all alone in an uninhabited island on the coast of America, near the moun of the great River Oroonoque; havipg been cast on shore by shipwreck, whére- in all men perished but himself.With an account of how he was at !ast sitfange- lv delivered by pirates.Written by himself.The story was a \u2018fake\u2019; that was te- cause De Foe was an artist.De Foe mtn wrote like a reporter (no better incdel than \u2018Robinson Crusoe\u2019 could be offered to a young reporter to-day), but he was too much of an artist not to \u2018get out of the story all there was in it\u2019\u2014end mare.: \u2018Robinson Crusoe\u2019 has become immortal because it is the nearest imitation of fact that has ever appeared in fiction.A man who could spend two months in making \u2018two large earthen ugly things (I cannot call them jars.)\u2019 and thirty-four days merely in fellling and trimming a tree which, when hollowed into a canoe bv four months labor would have required twelve years of digging to launch, was not the man to employ literary artifices in his logbook, and the steadiness with which De Foe adhered to his sclf- imposed simplicity\u2014the pain and art of that steadfastness\u2014may be gauged by the fact that even the most acute of modern critics constantly fail to appreciate it.Aud another simple test of the greatness of this achievement resides in the fact that it has never been surpassed.nor even approached.by the innumerable imitators of the storv.So we must nceds acclaim De Foe the master of modern journalism in its sen- cational side: he not only knew a \u2018story\u2019 when he found it; but he knew how to tell it.It reads lke truth; and the true story of a man\u2019s solitary struggle with nature is so eternal in its appeal to our primal intelligence and sympathy that it remains as attractive to this dav as ever it was in the earliest annale of the hermits.\u2014Brooklyn \u2018Eagle.\u2019 A SAILOR'S INGENUITY, A prmitive grinding machine, the work of a Norwegian sailor, 1g illustrated in the February \u2018Strand Magazine.Jt has a most interesting history.Nome years ago a large eailing veesel with a cargo of wheat ran short of provisions and the crew found themeelves face to face with starvation, But this crisis was the means of bringing into play the m- genuity of one of the crew.Remembering the wheat with which the vessel was loaded, he set to work and constructed a primitive though effective grinding machine.With it he was enabled to grind enough of the grain to kecp the twenty-six sailors alive for forty days.The case of the machine was made from a piece of solid wood hollowed out M the centre.This hollow was lined with pieces of tin made rough by means ot a number of holes hammered in it.lhe roughed tin was crossed at regular intervals with bands of wire to correspond with the roller running through the machine, which was also covered with roughed metal and bands of wire.The little machine only measures about eighteen inches long by {our inches hizh.i \u2018Up the hill, step by step!

which ravaged Maryland in 1890, is charged with the loss of $3,000,000 to the truck-gardeners of that state in that time.As for the losees occasioned to agriculture by such newer pests ag the Colorado beetle, the San José scale, and the Mexican cotton.boll weevil, they are almost bevond estimate.The San José ecale came to America from China about thirty years ago, and has been causing an average \u201ction whether any INDOOR AND (OUTDOOR DEPARTHENT to Mankind THAN FLOODS, EARTHOU vn 5 AND WARS COMBINED.loss to fruit-growers year.The United States gover ny, voted more means and encres ce - ing the San José scale and enon to discover some remedy 101 2° 4 has to any other eingle ineect.ar good reason.Happily an enems scale was diecovered by Mr NN one of the government entomoix the shape of a bus.aiso trom \u20ac which has a special appetite scale insects and devours them numbers.In the case of then as of others, it has been tou cous to find the \u2018Heas' winch hr \u2018Heas and set them at cach o The timber and forestry inte.et Ne gy the country also have many dar - and formidable insect foes \\ these is the spruce beetle, whic said, has destroved manv ml eo - dollar\u201d worth of valuable timber © destructive pine bark beetle ~ an © species which threatened the en: rtruction of the qine and epruce +: \\ gmia and West Virginia between soo and 1892.and before its ravages x checked it killed many millions best pine and spruce forest and n on San Juan island, lost a collie dog last fall for nearly a month, and for several days searched the woods about his place zealously for the animal wi*li- out success.When killing a sheep he tossed a bone to another collie.Instead of gnawing it, he picked it up and stait- ed for the woods.Ie kept turning ln: head, apparcntly to see if he was followed, and Jones concluded to follow him.The dog trotted along for a mile and stopped at the edge of an abandoned well.He dropped the bone over the edge of the well.Jones got a ladder, climbed down and found the dog that had been lost.There was only aboat two inches of water in the well.Dut the animal would have starved to dean had it not been for the other.The lost dog was in good condition, and as it had been missing twenty-four days, the other animal must have kept it supphed with food for nearly a month \u2014San Fran cisco \u2018Chronicle.\u2019 RIDE FOR LITTLE ROBINS.The conductor on the Southbridze branch of the N.Y.N.H.& H.rail way, had left a spare passenger coach for several weeks at Kast Thompson.\u2018A robin had taken possession of it and built her nest on the frame work of the trucks under the body of the car.lhe bird had been seen around the car by different employes of the road without suspecting the presence of the nest until the car was coupled on and hauled to Southbridge, the mother following the train and on its arrival brooding and feed: her young, which were just hatched.The mother followed the train on its return trip to East Thompson, where she again fed and housed the young birds.On the second trip of the train in the afternoon the bird again followed her young to South- bridge and back to Kast Thompeon where the car was side tracked and given into possession of the robin, ren: free, until her family are grown.The distance travelled by the bird in the two round trips was eighty-six miles.The kind-hearted conductor said if he had known the nest was there he would never have taken the car out.\u2014 \u2018Our Dumb Animals.\u2019 Ua pt Pel OA Ut PE Srthand smb bd Sd 6d OB um em ,æ Pg pw 3 ES 0 ~~ op vw ne Ce to to \u2014 he bn EEL \u2014 SEVEN YEARS AN INVALID And Then She Took \u2018\u2018\u2019Fruit-a-tives\u201d Is Now Well.Arnprior, Ont, Nov.27, 1908.T was an invalid for seven years from \u201carful Womb.Trouble.I had falling wemb, with eonstant vain in the back and front of my body and all down my legs.There was a heavy discharge, and this made me weak, sleepless, restless and miserable, Often I was obhged to be in hed for a month at a time.I wag ticated by several docters, but their treatment did me no permanent good.1 A few months ago.I was persuaded to trv \u2018Fruit-a-tives.\u201d 1 took several boxes fui from the outset of this treatment { \u201cvis better, the Constipation was cured, and the discharge lessened.I took, for \u20181 paleness, several bottles of the Iron Mixture as recommended in the \u2018Fruit-a- tiv>s\" book, but I feel that it was \u2018Fruit- a-tives\u201d alone that cured me.(MRS.)

Who would think that the praine dog, the shy and amusing little rodent that we like to watch before the dcor où his burrow at the zoo, would ever become the \u2018subject of Government 1n- tervention or endanger the success of stock raising?Yet, such is the fact.Out on the national forests which Uncle Sam -is guarding for the use of the public, expert hunters have gone after the prairie dogs with zeal\u2014and more vigorously next year.In order to demonstraie the effectiveness of the work an area of some 60,000 to 75,000 acres of actual dogtown was selected for the test by the United States Forest Service.From 80 to 90 percent of the dogs were killed with the first :distribution of the poison.The poison is prepared by coating wheat with \u2018a preparation of strychnine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil and molasses.When a sufficient : quantity is ready the poisoned wheat is carried to the field of operations.There the stockmen gladly supply men and horses, and the wheat js given out to the riders and distribution begins, pail supported by a gunny sack slung across his right shou'der and hanging at his ieft side.His 'eft hand is free for the reins.With his rignt hand he uses a tablespoon to measure out the poison and \u2018drop it near the entrance of the holes.A little practice enables the men to drop the wheat while keeping \u2018their horses on a sharp trot.By crossing the town to and fro, like a man sowing grain, :they can cover a large area in a surprisingly short time.It is necessary to go over the ground a second time, and by spotting the occupied holes the remaining dogs will easi'v be killed with a very small amount \u2018of poison.The average cost an acre for the poisoning material is one and one- halt cents.Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to the stockmen, for they devour much grass and undermine the surface of the ground with their burrows.Where they establish themselves the destruction of the range is only a question of time.While it 1s hard to say just \u2018what amount of feed a prairie dog will consume in the way of grass, it has been estimated \u2018by the United States Biologieal Survey that thirty-two prairie dcgs will consume as uch grass as \u2018one sheep, or 2 as much as one cow.Pr 58 dogs McGILL UNION PRESIDENT.Another member of next year -

The steamship \u2018Mauretania\u2019 will sail for Liverpool next Wednesday at noon.If, a day or two later, she stfould send a wireless message that she had torn off 800 or 900 miles at the rate of 35 miles an hour, her owners might be surprised, but the general public wouldn't.She and her sister ship; the \u2018Lusitania,\u2019 have during the last year made and broken so many records that seemed likely to stay put that a Munchausen at the wireless could turn loose almost anything he wanted to and get away with it.Especially is this true since that great day\u2019s run from last Sunday noon to Monday noon.Think of it! Six hundred and seventy-one knots\u2014773 miles\u201430.18 miles an hour! Further than from New York to Detroit, Why, there are lots of trains that are not\u2019 making as good time as that.The fastest train out of San Francisco for Ogden takes twenty-seven hours and a half to go thirteen miles further than the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 went in twenty-four hours.How long is this sort of thing going to keep up?When is the tine going to come when a man in New York who: has a friend coming from Europe whom he does not want to see, can figure with certainty that if he gets out of town at a certain hour, the other fellow\u2019s passage money will be burned?The opulent seagoing public will have to answer these questions for \u2018themselves.The \u2018Mauretania\u2019 will not be the last word in brine boiling unless her patrons want her to be.It\u2019s all a matter of money.What the scientific gen- ES Must Call a Halt To Pneumonia It often cannot becured butit can be prevented.tit Every coid must be taken seriously, and care taken in selecting effective treatment such as Dr.Chase\u2019s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine.While consumptives are being taken care of and tuberculosis is being conquered who is going to fight pneumonia, which seems each year to claim more and more victime ?t is the children and older people who yield most readily to this disease, but with the system run down or from undue exposure it is to be looked for as the result of any severe cold on the chest and lungs.While the doctors are experimenting with cures why not do all we can to: prevent this dreadful ailment by taking.every cold seriously, and using Dr.Chase\u2019s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine to allay the inflammation of the bronchial tubes, to aid exvectoration and to keep the cough free and loose, This great medicine has a thorough and far-reaching action, which is not obtained from ordinary cough medicines.MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1909.EASTER NUMBER OF THE tlemen denominate as \u2018the law of diminishing returns\u2019 makes every additional knot of speed come higher; but there are a few knots left.The Cunard people themselves, however, will tell you frankly that they expect these knots to be left on the shelf, unless the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 can pull down one or two, which she is expected to do.Here are the reasons: First, the increased cost of transportation which would .follow increased speed.It is a big question whether there are enough persons who want to be put into a steel shell and shot across the Atlantic in less than four days and who have the money to pay for being fired to make such ships pay.Steamship men say there are not.Next comes the question of docks.New York is quite a town, and, barring Hoboken, has the largest docks on the Atlantic Coast, but the Cunard\u2019s docks \u2014the largest in Manhattan\u2014which are 824 feet long, are only 34 feet longer than the \u2018Mauretania.\u2019 That seems a great deal, but it isn\u2019t.It's like the half inch between a tall man's feet and the foot of the bed.Besides, at low tide there are only 40 feet of water\u2014 and the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 draws 35! Greater speed means more coal burned, more room to carry coal, longer ships, deeper ships, longer docks, deeper water\u2014money, money, money.Who wants to spend it?But suppose the ladies and gentlemen with the cash come forward?What then?Faster ships than the \u2018Maure- tania\u2019 can be built\u2014so steamship men say.So long as the iron mines hold out, longer, broader, and deeper hulls are matters only of more materials and more labor.And over in Scotland, where iron filings thrown along the Clyde at night are said to become marine engineers before morning, are men who can build and run turbines.Two hundred thousand horse power turbines are as much mechanical possibilities as are 70.000 horse-power turbines, like the \u2018Mauretania\u2019s.\u2019 Again, it is all a matter of coal, boilers and hull.But here are the stubborn facts that clap a limit on the seagoing possibilities even of infinite, or at least enormous, power: Power.once generated, must, to become effective, be given an opportunity .to exert itself against the water.In other words it must turn propellers.The first thought that comes to the mind is that greater speed may be obtained by revolving the propellers rapidly, or that there may be a great number of propellers.A Scotch ship designer once drew up plans for a craft with fourteen propellers, but nobody but himself had confidence enough in his designs to spend a dollar on them, and he hadn't enough dollars to spend.The trouble with a great number of propellers is that there is no place to put them.The \u2018Mauretania\u2019 and the \u2018Lusitania\u2019 each have two at the extreme stern\u2019 and two more a little further aliend, and while it is conceded that room might be found for two more, that is the limit if the shape of the hull is to be preserved.Propellers lose their efficiency when sprinkled in too closely together, and if the hull be notched like a pair of stairs to make room for them, great draught is required\u2014so much that it is considered to be out of the question.Next comes the proposition to revolve the propellers at greater speed.An English gentleman named Parsons, who put the finishing touches on the invention of the turbine, and wag knighted, therefor, thought of that.He built a little ship called the \u2018Turbinia,\u2019 and put .anengine into it that was capable of turning the propeller at the rate of three thousand revolutions a minute.Se- ouring a party of friends to witness his triumph, he went aboard and turned on the steam.The propeller would.have beaten eggs all right, but it wouldn\u2019t move the boat.he inventor couldn\u2019t understand it.Firmly believing that the, propeller was standing still\u2014loose on.the and reported that \"everything was all right.Again the steam was turned On.Again the boat didn\u2019t move.The trouble was that the water was so agitated that it offered no resistance to the blades.And eince that time every one hag known that if the screw of a ship goes too fast it might as well not go at: all.So the increased speed proposition simmers down to this: \u2018 As hulls are now designed, &ix propellers can probably be placed to work to advantage.- With an increase of 50 percent in the number of propellers, larger engines would be required, more coal would bave to be carried, and the ship\u2019s draught increased, which would necessitate dredging out the docks some more.And for this tremendous outlay, what results could be expected ?When the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 last year broke one of her propellers, she unhooked the turbipe from its mate and swam back to Liverpool at twenty knots an hour.This she did easily.When she came, back \u2018last week with four engines humming she obtained, for her doubled vol- whizzing shaft\u2014ne sent a diver down |ed to investigate.The diver came back ume of power, only a little more than six knots of additional speed.\u201cBehold the operation of the law of diminishing returns.And if two more propellers and 35,000 more horse power were to be added, how much more speed and this is why three bottles of it are sold for one of any similar treatment.It has proven its extraordinary value in the cure of coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis and asthma and eople have learned to trust it implicitly and to keep it constantly at hand.Mrs.F.Dwyer, Chesterville, Ont.writes: \u2018My little girl of three years had an attack of bronchial pneumonia.My husband and I thought she was going to leave this world, as her case resisted the doctor's treatment.After the first two doses of Dr.Chase\u2019s Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine the child be gan to get better and we are \u2018thankful to say is now well again after: seven weeks\u2019 illness.\u201d Twenty-five cents a\u2019 bottle at -ail dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co, Toronto.FEES would she gain ?Not as much as she ¢id when she doubled from two to four propellers.Steamship men sav she might get two or three more knots.However, the \u2018Mauretania\u2019 herself, on Ler last\u2019 westward trip, opened up \u20ac possibility for increased speed that had not been considered prior to her time.The \u2018Mauretania\u2019s\u2019 forward propellors\u2014 her mew ones\u2014have each four blades, Her rear screws have each three blades.It has long been \u2018the theory that three blades are more effective than four be cause the water bebind them is more nearly solid, and therefore offers greater resistance.Yet.a map wha thought he had an idea in propeller making that had never been tried

propellers\u2014and hig designs provid- for four blades.Of course the Cunard Company expected that the new screws would do business, but those who are in a position to know say they have far exceeded expectations.Something in the pitch of the blades has more than compensated for the disadvantage that has always been charged up against what was considered an excessive number of blades.7 There is no other way to account for it.The new screws are doing the work, and they are of the type that has always been considered inferior.It js not at all improbable that the \u2018Maure- tania\u2019 and the \u2018Lusitania\u2019 will ultimate- lv both be equipped throughout with four-blade propellers, and thus get a knot or two more of the speed that comes so high when it is bought with coal, A PRESENTATION.At the conclusion of a rehearsal of Faster music on Thursday the choir of Sherbrooke Street Methodist | Church took advantage cf the opportunity to present Miss Mae McMahon, who is leaving this choir to join St.Andrew\u2019s, West- mount, with a token of esteem and ap- | ' preciation for her valuable services.The \u2018 gift was a gold locket in the shape of a heart and bearing the recipient\u2019s monogram.The presentation was made by the Rev.T.A.Halpenny, pastor of the Church, and Miss McMahon suitably responded.Mr.E.O'Dell, organist and choir director, and Mr.R.L.Werry also voiced the regret of the choir that Miss McMahon, who had sung in th» church for about five years, very faithfully and acceptably, was about to leave and wished her much happinces in her musical

by others that the land was in the preponderance and simply held the seas as in peckets.Literature was net slow tq take up the theme.Gradually as the Greek world expanded, as surely was the outmost limit hedged about with myth and fable.Far in the unknown north the Hyperboreans, safe from the stormy blasts of Aeolus; in the east, the fabu- lcus wonders of India; in thz sonth, Panchoea and the blameless Ethiopians; in the west, the floating isle of Aeolus, brazen walled, and qn its extremest verge the Elysian -fields, \u2018where life js easiest to man.\u201d The isles of the Blest had come to stay.Through all literature, well into the middle ages, men dreamed of these isles of limitless desire and infinite fulfilment, sang and roc- manced ard longed to flv to regions, where it was supposed earthly cares and scrrows and disappointments could cark and Lite no more.Plato placed in this indefinite west his Atiantis or Ideal Republic; where, he says, \u2018there lay oppo- sitc the columns of Hercules, in the Atlantic, which was then navigable, an island larger than Libya and Asia together, from which sailors could pass to other islands, and so to the continent.\u201d It was not wonderful that when America was finally discovered, there should be those who maintained that Plato's Atlantis was found, and that it had at some earlier period formed a bridge between the two continents over which men and plants and animals were translated.Corroboration is found by even modern writers in the physical conformation of the Atlantic basin, and in resemblance between the dora and fauna, and the civilization and languages of the old and rew world which could be explained cnly by free passage over such a bridge.Brinton states that land-bridge did exist between Northern Africa and the scaltered islands of the Caribbean, in the Eocene of the Tertiary period, but long before the appearance of man on the earth.Some would place in Atlantis the birthplace of man, or at least the primitive culture, of which others maintain the highlands of Asia were the scene.The pre-Columbian civilization of America was distinctly Eastern or Oriental, if we are to judge from what it has left for our inspection.At the period of the visit of Columbus, our continent was inhabited by two great groups of people\u2014the one composed of numerous untutored savage tribes, nomads and hunters; the other organized into a nation, upholding a settled government and a powerful, sacerdotal hierarchy, living upon the products of the soil and engaged in commerce and industry.The cities of the lavter were scattered through Mexico, Yucatan, Central America and Peru, and among their ruins to-day we find temples and pel- aces and pyramids as extraordinary in their form as in their dimensions.If we are.to judge from the evidence of the ruins themselves, one civilization had been swept away by another, which was superimposed.So that in Uhe New World, as in the Old World, there had waxed and waned dynasties, principah- ties and powers.Architecture, sculpture and painting of a high order, flourished among these people, and in the main the glowing descriptions by Oor- tez and the early Spanish writers, who came upon this civilization long after it had lost vitality, are not exaggerated.At many points it resembled the civilization of early Egypt, of Assyria, of Niniveh and Babylon.\u2018The calendar in common use suggested that of the Egyptian, and of many Asiatic peoples.Vast pyramidal structures, covered often with hieroglyphics, erected in stages, crowned by temples dedicated to the worship of the stars and sun, and oriented with the mathematical exactness of that ot Ghizeh, convey their own suggestion of this original conception.It 13 little wonder that stresg is laid upon the argument that the buildefs of the pyramidal structures of Ceylon, Chaldea, Arabia, Ethiopia, Egypt, Peru, Central America and Mexico, must have had a common origin, and that the American builders came from the Kast, either across the Atlantic or across the Pacific ,probably by way of the Polynesian Islands.Another striking -esemblance is found in the fact that the pyramid builders of each of these countries were skilled in agriculture, and watered thelr lands by irrigation canals almost identical in their construction.De Nadaillac, speaking of the irrigation canals of the Incas of Peru, says that he found one reservoir formed In a deep gorge by two immense walls of cemented rock.\u2018The reservoir was not less thun three- quarters of a mile long by half a mile broad.Ite walls were eighty feet thick at the base.\u201d And Squier says of them: \u2018I have followed them for days together, and have seen \u201cheir winding amidst the projections of hills; here sustained by high walls of masonry, there cut into the living rock, and in some cases conducted in tunnels, through sharp spurs of the obstructing mountains.Occasionally, they were carried over narrow valleys or depressions m the ground, or embankments fifty or sixty feet high.\u2019 The comparison is carried a step further when we learn that in each of these countries also the caste system was enforced.The caste divisions of Peru and of Mexico were similar, if not identical.As in India or Egypt, each caste enjoyed certain distinct privileges; the crafts and prefessions were hereditary as was also the title of nobilty.Yet the lines were not so fixed as in the Orient.As M.Charnay eays, \u2018This society, based on the caste system, recalled that of the \u2018Hindoos, but was less exclusive and less pitiless; there were, as in Asia, the nobility, the farmers, the slaves, but one passed readily from one class to the other, and courage or great feats of arms might free a slave or make of him a captain.\u2019 We come a step nearer M.Gagnon\u2019s meaning, when we are reminded that the caste system and the pyramid building were characteristic, not of the Aryan or Semitic races, but of the Ethiopian or Cushite races, the descendants of Ham, the first civilizers and builders in all Southern Asia, preceding the Aiyans and Semites on the Asiatic and African coasts of the Mediterranean, the east coast of Africa, and on the banks of the Nile.Of this race were the Egyptians and the Polynesians, and apparently of this race also were the pyramid builders oË America.\u2018If the form and uve of all those monuments,\u2019 says M.Gagnon, \u2018do not taaterial- ly shdw a community of ideas and of origin for their authors, we confess we do not know how to distinguisn good from bad evidence.\u201d \u2018Finally, certain eymbols, such as the cross, the circle, the sacred tree, winged figures, human and otherwise, so frequent in Babylon, and in Phoenicia apd Egypt, were not unknown to tne builders Of Anme- rica, and the resemblances between them are so striking as not to admit of a theory of their parallel development.\u2019 One may well ask what became of this mighty race, and why did it disappear?Certain it is that the nuconie found ty the Spaniards at the Conquest were not the original race of wonder workers, \u2018but the Aztecs, a race then decadent, building among the ruins of an older and stronger people, the Toltecs, who cbey- ing the universal law of growth and decay rose and fell and disappeared.Iso- Jated through many generations from the parent races in Asia, th:y natural y became more and more creatutes of their environment; traits and d'etinctive customs were neutralized or worn away and they became more like the people who surrounded them.Intermarriage, a tyrannical form of government that made enemies rather than friends, a religion that was a blend of superstition ~nd cruelty, the vicious and enervating caste system\u2014these, some or all of them, were characteristic of even the pa-ent race, and doubtless helped towards its downfall in the older as in the new world.Of the antiquity of th:se Tolteçan and Nahuan ruins generally, a word must be said in clcsing.In fixing their date we can proceed only by surmise, as no Champollion has yet translated the numerous writings on templss and palaces, and even the few Toltecs, who at the conquest, lingered bereft amid the mins of their ancestors, ascribed the building .to a race of giants whose labors had ceased at a time so remote es to be to them inconceivable.Henry Goodman, a competent observer writing in the \u2018American Antiquarian\u2019 and Oriental Journal\u201d for 1904, states aa his opinion that these peoples were contemporaries with the Babylonians of about 5000 B.C.Char- Day, in bis work, already mentioned, gives them a more recent date; but he had not at that time seen the \u2018Histoire de l\u2019Art dans l\u2019Antiquite\u2019 of Perrot and Chipiez, and later, after examining that important work, materially altered his opinion.It is worthy of notice that the climate of Yucatan, for example, is very dry, and that architectural remains would suffer little by lapse of time.Yet, what are the facts?Pyramids larger than the largest of Egypt have~ stood so long that they have almost lost their artificial form.Numbers of them, and also of towns and cities, were, at the Conquest, uncared for masses of ruins.Diego Garcia Palacio, writing to Philip II.; of Spain, in 1576, says of Copan, a ruined city.that the inhabitants of the country had forgotten its name.Excavations at Copan show that it was actually built upon the dezp laid walls cf an older city.In Peru, archaeologists have traced five distinct architectural eras, each of long duration, the reign of the Intas forming but part of the last era.What centuries must have passed while this race of builders spread over Mexico, Central America end Peru, sowing their cities so thick that explorers to-day stumble over their unexpected - ruins in the deoths of ancient forests\u2019 At Camalcalco, writes Charnay, we found not only a principal pyramid.but hundreds cf others, topped with palaces and temples, covered by forest growth.Strange it is to consider the labor of carrying stove and material for these from distant quarrics.the al- mest superhuman energy of their bu leers and the generations that must have passed while slowly thev reared their heads in the distant twilight cf time on this new-cld continent.ALSO RECEIVED.\u2018The Worst Tax of All\u201d by Albert William Aldérson, (London: P.S.Ring & Son);
