Robin and others connected wit operations.2° It is supposed to bé a rule in conservative offices \u2018south of Fulton street\u2019 that a caller, no matter how plausible, shall neither be received nor listened to if he is not properly introduced.The man who can surmount these safeguards must have a rare combination of qualities\u2014not merely financial ability and address, but a resolute self-confi- dence and quick resourcefulness which stop just short of betraying the charlatan One reason, of course, why these episodes occur in America more frequently than in Europe is the fact that the opportunity for new enterprises is xo much greater here, and that finance is not entrusted so completely to & traditional class whose members have been - in touch with each other for a genera- Ho n.Bvery such incident, however, should be a lesson to the American banker to demand credentials, and to verify them, before giving his money or his confidence to a new adventurer upon the financial

making arrangements for expenditures this year of $100,000,000 is without foundation.The prliey of the company recently has been toward caution in spending money and In undertaking new operations, and it is probable that this will be continued.The New York Connecting Railway, which has been planned to be constructed jointly with the New York, New Haven and Hartford, is not being pushed at this time.t is a work which will require three years and will cost from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000.The only new work of any magnitude which will be undertaken this year is the construction ef the relief line from Morrisdale, Pa., to Waverly, N.J.This line is absolutely necessary to relieve the New York division, traffic having become 80 great on that line that it interferes with the convenient running of passenger trains.Plans for this year were announced when the notice of tiie proposed stock authorization was made last month.The management will ask stockholders to authorize an issue of $100,000,000 of stock.The company has $22,000,000 o stock already available for issue under the old authorization and the proposed expenditures will absorb, according to the statements made officially by the company, about $18,000,000 of the new is 'e, if it is authorized, of which there is, of course, no doubt.Whether all the proceeds from this issue will be spent this year is conjectural.Pennsylvania officials say it may or may not he necessary to use the whole of the money.Improvement at Broad street station, Philadelphia are being considered by a board of engineers who will make their report probably next month.This report will be considered by another board who will make final recommendations to President McCrea.The cost is now estimated at something less than 33.- 000,000, but it is not known what will finally be agreed upon.There are some other minor improvements and ordinary operations under way which will be completed this year, but beyond these there are no present plans which will require large money expenditures, The company has been investigating the clectrification of certain suburban lines for ten years.The difficulties which have been met have chiefly been the expense and the question whether it would pay as a transportation proposition has net been satisfactorily set.New England Syndicate Is Assisting in the Development of Alberta Boston, Feb.11.\u2014Relative to current western despatches to the effect that New England capital is being interested in Canadian agricultural development, it is stated that the colonization department of Canadian Pacific Railway, head- Led in Boston by General Agent Ernest Floyd, has for some time been seek- ng extensive subscriptions here and in Worcester, Springfield, Hartford, Providence and other cities with a view to adequate development of some of the large areas of Alberta farmlands long held by Canadian Pacific.-Mr.Floyd is temporarily in Alberta in connection with this matter, and, according to Chicago advices, four complete townships, comprising 80,000 acres, have already been bought by a ; is now being perfected.These 80,000 acres are understood to have been ail 000 syndicate

Shows Condition to be Good The report of the general grain agent of tlie Canadian Pacific Railway on winter wheat conditions in Alberta, forms the first report to hand on the coming crop, and it shows the condition of the winter wheat to be so far quite satisfactory.It estimates a total acreage for the province of 230,000 acres, which is considerably larger than the estimate made by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture last October.After that the weather was very mild and favorable to the sowing of wheat.The report states plenty of rain came after the wheat had been sown, and thus the crop had an excellent start.Altogether, the grain oould not be better than it now is, and if there are plenty of rains in April and May, and no heavy frosts after the ground thaws out, a good crop can safely be predicted for 1911.THE BANK OF OTTAWA DIVIDEND No.78.Notice is hereby given that a Dividend of Two and Three-Quarters Per Cent.beinæ at the rate of Eleven Per Cent.per annum, upon the

completion by the Sherbrooke Railway and Power Company, of the new power plant by the installation of two out of three electrical units draws attention to a Canadian public utility enterprise tkat has excellent future prospects.The company was incorporated the early -part of 1810, when ft took over the street railway at Sherbrooke, which had been in operation since 1895.Although the population of the city had increased 50 percent in the fifteen years since it had commenced operations, the system had never been extended, and the transportation facilities were quite inadequate to the needs of the city as it stands today.In addition, the street railway was in exceedingly bad physical condition, and a very infrequent and irregular service was afforded.The first step of the new interests was to make a new agreement with the City of Sherbrooke, which granted it a new and exclusive franchise for a term of 40 years, with exemption from taxation for 20 years, the city having the right to purchase the street rajlway as a going concern at the end of 20 years.The company consequently operates under more favorable franchise conditiops than most other Canadian street railways, as, under the terms of the franchise, it is hardly likely that the city will exercise its right to purchase, and even if it does, it will have to pay a fair figure ond cannot take over the system on a scrap iren basis as in the case of;several of our principal street railways.Following upon its acquisition of the street railway, the new company immediately laid out its plans for the entire reconstruction of the old system and the construction of a number of extensions, which would adequately meet the requirements of the present population and would more than double the existing mileage.At the same time, in order to provide for the increased needs of the extended street railway, the company purchased from the British American Land Company three water powers on the Magog River within the city limits of Sherbrooke and immediately started developing them at one site.These powers are estimated to have a combined capacity sufficient, after providing for the street railway, to leave over 2,500 h.p.available for sale to the numerous industries in and around Sherbrooke.The company is enabled to do this under its charter, which permits it to sell hydro-electric power in the district of St.Francis, which takes in the Counties of Sherbrooke, Stanstead, Wolfe, Compton, Richmond and Megantic.The new concrete dam, which is located about 100 yards above the Commercial Street Bridge, was completed a month or So ago, and the power house and penstock were finished shortly afterwards, Twp of the three electrical units have been installed and power will be turned on within the next two weeks.In fact, if necessary, it could be turned on immediately.The reconstruction and extension of the street railway was delayed by the late delivery of the rails, but as soon as the first shipment came to hand in the latter part of August, work was pushed with all possible despatch, and before winter more than half of the old system had been relaid with new 70-1b.rails, and a mile of extensions completed.However, with the necessary supplies on hand, as soon as the snow is off the ground the balance of the work can be rapidly carried on, and It is ex- SILVER VALUES AT DEPTH INTHE TEMISKAMING A discovery of rich silver ore at the 535-foot level of the Temiskaminz property in Cobalt, the deepest shaft in the camp, disposes only in part of the contention which has been continually put forward against the Cobalt silver camp that values would not prove continuous at depth.In fact, the discovery of value at depth in this property is of less importance to the camp, in a broad way.than would such a discovery on practically any other mine in the camp, for the reason that Temiskaming workings are entirely in the Keewatin formation, while practically all the other rich mines are working in the conglomerate.| There are three vein formations in the Cobalt camp.the conglomerwate, Keewatin and diabase.« Most of the paying mines, such as La Rose, Nipis- sing, etc.have found their rich ores in the conglomerate.The Temiskaming.however, which has the deepest workings In the camp, Is entirely in the Xee- watin.It is important to note, moreover, that where the keewatin formation underlies the conglomerate, values almost invariably decrease, or pinch out entirely.While, therefore, the discovery of rich ore at a depth of 535 feet at the Temiskaming in the keewatin formation is of intense interest to the very few mines in that formation, yet the question still remains unsettled for the biggest Cobalt producers, who are delving in the conglomerate, and which will, if precedent be borne out, find diminished values when once they strike the formation in which Temiskaming has just made its find.= $25,000 Kaministiquia Power Company, Limited 5° : First Morfgege Bonds

infrequent and irregular service afford- pror to its acquisition by the new company, gross earnings in 1909 amounted to $31,222.With the mileage more than doubled and with a regular five- minute service in the place of an irregular 20 minute one, there can be no doubt hut that the above Tesults will be equalled.; As to the power department which at the start will be the most profitable branch of the company's business, there is an abundant market for power in and in the vicinity of Sherbrooke.The company has already closed a number of contracts, and negotiations have been entered into for the sale of a large part of the remainder, so that there is no doubt as to the company's abllity to dispose of the entire amount at profitable rate.The City of Sherbrooke, the commercial centre of the Eastern Townships is in point of size and population; the third largest city in the province of Quebec.It is a manufacturing centre, and is well situated in the centre of a fine agricultural district.It is the distributing point for the Eastern Townships.; i Sherbrooke has exceptional railway facilities.It is on the main line of the Grand Trunk Railway, is a divisional point of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the Canadan terminus of the Boston and Maine system, and the headquarters of the Quebec Central Railway Company.The head offices of the Eastern Townships Bank are located in Sherbrooke.win to the enormous expansion that has been taking place in the west, there has been a tendency to overlook the rapid growth of the East in manufacturing importance in recent years.which, owing to labor, power and other conditions is bound to continue.Sherbrooke is already an important manufacturing point, and owing to the numerous advantages which it offers to industrial concerns, it is bound to make rapid progress, particularly in view of the increasing tendency of American manufacturers lo establish branch plants in Canada, for the location of which owing to its proximity to the New England States, Sherbrooke offers 1 inducements.special In past, ~ its citizens have not taken full advantage of their opportunities, and have in consequence lost many important, indusrties, which would, if offered favorable terms.have undoubtedly settléd there.However, there has been an entire reversa of publie sentiment there recently, an proper measures will be taken in fur ture, which should result in a greatly increased growth during the next few years.The sustained \u2018demand _for Canadian Pacific stocks in London, New York, and Montreal, and the high prices paid, is creating a good deal of commend on the \u20188 ! : : ee aspect to notice in thsi regard ig that the stock is booming away In spite of ali the pallid talk of east-west changed to north-south routes, and other

larger banks to alsorb the weaker ones ix a gratifying one, which is likely to sirengthen general consolidated banking position.The weeding out of the weak element is a good process.This is what

the rot fr distant future by which Canadians would be afforded an opportunity to secure still larger interest in this company.It was lcarne dto-day that the Montreal interests who affected

asked by the chairman: \u2018Would you mind, sir, giving us the past, present and future of Europe, Asia and Africa?That man was not heard of again.\u2019 Such were the opening remarks of Prof.Jackson, principal of Lachine Academy, in his lecture on \u2018A Trip round the World,\u201d delivered before a record audience in St.Stephen\u2019s Hall, Lachine, last night.The lecturer gave his hearers a most interesting account of his voyage and the places where he stopped.and also showed a large number of curios from China, Japan, India, Egypt, including the different towns in these countries Amongst other things shown was the executioner\u2019s axe of China, or rather an exact model of it, and much interest was displayed in the skins of a lion and tiger, which the lecturer had on view.- : After exhibiting some mo:e- of the curios, Prof.Jackson went on to give tales of his visit to several countries, and the habits and life there, after which some pictures were thrown on the sheet, showing more fully the customs of .the people.One point brought out by the speaker and worthy of note was, that in a great many countries he visited the Urion Jack towered high above all others, and in India and also in Japan great interest was shown in the visitors, who, by the way, were mostly American millionnaires.The pictures having been shown and the lecture concluded the Professor invited the people to inspect the curios at close range, after which the Rev.A.A.Ireland proposed a vote of thanks to Professor Jackson, which was unanimously accorded.i LOCAL IMPROVEMENT TAX.New System, Some Citizens Favor and Others Are Opposed To It.At a meeting of the electors of St.Denis, Duvernay, Laurier, and De- lcrimier Wards last night, on the question of the adoption of the local tax system for street improvements.the majority voted against any change in the present system being made at present.Aldermen Turcot Clement.Tetreau and Mayrand spoke against the bringing into effect of such a drastic change in the method of paying for permanent street work, and urged that a Jlelay of at least one year should be given before the Government should he called upon to authorize the city to impose such a tax.Ex-ald.8.D.Vallieres, of the Association Immobillere de Mont:gal, the organization wich suggested the Local Improvement Tax project, spoke in support of such a measure.It was imperative that some change should he brought ahout in the method of defraying the cost of permanent works in «the city.The present system of continually foating loans could not but lead to bankruptcy.A large delegation of property owners of St.Joseph's Ward held a meeting in the offices of Ald.U.H.Dan- dtrand yesterday to discuss the Local Improvement Tax.As a result all present registered themselves as in favor of such a tax.\\ \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 JESSIE ALEXANDER, RECITAL.Douglas Hall was filledyto overflowing last night on the occasion of the Jessie

\u201cOttawa, Feb.Ît.\u2014There was an ani- meted disoussion in the Senate yesterday, on the t Ottawa and other cities.second reading - of his bill respecting the pollution of na: waters,-Sén- ator Belcourt said that when he moved a similar bill last year he had no idea that there would so soon be such a terrible demonstration of the demand for the legislation as that which was being given in the city of Ottawa, where suffering and death frem typhoid had been traced to the pollution of the water supply by sewage deliberately dumped into the river.There were laws for the protection of.animal health and for the protestion of fish.It had been truly said tat from the point of view \u2018of health # was better to be a horse, hog or a fish than a an \u2018Who would.take water for inking or cooking from a paël?Yet that was what Canada aR nation was to-day doing wholesale by dumping\u2019 sewage into sources of water sipply.There was no need for this.\u2018 Sénator de.Bouchérville wanted to know \u201cwhat would be done-with the Sevage if it was not dumped into vers.: Senator Belcourt sald it could be purified by exposure to the sun in farms and the soil would be enriched.It.could be purified by process, as was being generally done in Belgium, where the worst sewage could in fifteen minutes be turned into pure drinking water by the removal of all impuri- tles, and this could be done very cheaiply.* Senator Wilson asked if the provinces did not have jurisdiction over Senator Belcourt said his bill applied only to navigable streams, which were under federal jurisdiction.There was a constitution question in respect to these streams.It was time people stopped drinking poison for the purpose of a constitution clause, and if need be the constitution should be changed.\u2019 Senator Campbell approved the bill.Ile said \u2018that the experience of Ottawa, was lfable to be repeated in any place in Canada.- Senator Macdonald, of British Co- \u2018| lumbia, approved the bill.Sir Mackenzie Bowell asked if ty- phicid was epidemic in towns on the Ottawa river below Ottawa: - oe Sir Richard Scott said that people In those places got their water from wells and springs, and not from the river.The debate was adjourned by Sir Richard Cartwright.VOLUNTEER FIREMEN.Corps to be Organized for Protection of Outlying Wards.To make up in some measure for \u2018the lack of fire protection in the recently.annexed wards, the Controllers have - decided to havg volunteer fire brigades.established as an :uxiliary to the nucleus of the regular fire fighting

the Princess Theatre yesterday afternoon and his work is worthy of high praise.Schumann's Concerto for piano and orchestra in A minor was the piece given, and both the pianist and the band are to be congratulated upon the performance, although the band a: times was uneven, and at other times too blatant.It is a work more than usually teeming with ideas, and it lends itself to à variety of interpretations, according to the moods and skill of the executants.Mr.Phillips was always en rappont with the spirit of this composition of Schumann, whe himself knew the pjano keyboard from A te Z and his technical ability was always adequate to express that spirit.The band, for the most part, played sympathetically under the careful baton of Professor Goulet and the applause the combined executants received was well deserved.Mr.Philips was insistently applauded at the cluse.and bowed his acknowledgments some four times, but he refused to spoil the impression of his masterly interpreta- \u2018ton by the banality of an encore\u2019 piece.All praise to him.Would there were more who knew enough to keep their art \u2018within the picture\u2019; who knew enough to take the good advice of Poe about the limited length of artistic sensation; and who had the courage to rebuke in like manner the philistines who infest concert halls, and do, their best to spoii well-thought out programmes.Praise for the band.Tschaikowsky's \u2018Pathetic\u2019 Adagio was surprisingly well done, espegially in the poignant \u2014poignant is overworked, but it can\u2019t be helped, and \u2018Tschaikowsky\u2019 is always hard to spell \u2014 lyrical passages, and although Goulet\u2019s interpretation and his material inevitably called up in contrast Emile Pauer and his Pittsburg Symphony material, it did not do so disazreeably, and that is surely high praise.The solemnity and majesty of the work were in evidence all through, the fortissimo was never a mere tearing of passion, and the pianissimo close was convincingly what the Duke in \u2018Twelfth Night\u2019 described as a \u2018dying fall\u2019 \u2018Beethoven's \u2018Egmont\u2019 overture was less well done.The time was taken with the machine-like precision of a metronome, although that was to be preferred to the sloppiness of the logic of a tariff \u2018reformer.\u2019 but the rendering suffered from a lack of subtlety, it was forte all through, and consequently \u2018hard.\u2019 Nuances of p., p.p., p.p.p., with f., f.f., etc.would have relieved the playing gratefully.Now that his instruments act better together, Prof.Goulet will be -able to pay more attention to the refinements of \u2018shading.\u2019 The fourth number on the programme, consisting cf three lighter compositions, was excellently rendered and was altogether pleasing.The fifth and closing number, Lehar's \u2018Ku- kuska,\u2019 a melodious composition, was also given its characteristic and peculiar rhythm, with adequate technique and with a good measure of refinement.It would be untruthful to pretend that the band was faultless in any number, but it is only just to it to say that it did well, and that it gave a large audience the satisfaction of a well-spent afternoon.wa last evening.> 8tt bomer Gouin is tn.town Quebec.; = 5 The Hon.Rodolphe Lemieux returned.to the Capital yesterday., | Mra.J.B.Learmont, Macgregor

enjoyable evening wag spent last evening at Victoria Hall,\u201d Westmount, when the fifth Braelee dance of the season took place, a large number of members and their friends being present.Mrs.Thomas Henry, Arlington avenue, entertained very pleasantly at a house-dance for young people last evening, given in honor of her daughter, Miss Beatrice Henry, who is a debutante.The hall was effectively decorated with ferns and palms, while the ball-room and reception room were festive with daffodils and tulips, the supper room also having a pretty arrangement of spring flowers.Miss Beatrice Henry, wearing a white crepe de chene gown, assisted her mother to receive the guests, of whom there were about seventy.À successful dance was given last evening at the Earl Grey School, Lachine in aid of the Lachine General Hospital.Two rooms, prettily decorated with flowers, plants and ferns were used for dancing, while in another cards were played by those not wishing to dance.The large hall served as -a reception room, and looked extremely well with its arrangement of palms and greenery, with bright hued Turkish rugs placed on the floor.Mrs.J.P.Dawes and Mrs.Norman Smith received the guests which -numbered over two hundred, Mrs, Dawes was gowned in black, and Mrs.Smith wore a turquoise blue satin with duchesse lace overdress.The dance programmes were white, ornamented with a scarlet cross and royal purple cords and pencils.A buffet supper was set on a table decorated with scarlet and white tulips and carnations, scarlet shading the candelabra lights.The room was also draped in the same coloring.THE JONATHAN MANIA, The \u2018Saturday Review\u2019 Has Got it Bad, But Not a Word is + New.New York, Feb.11.\u2014A special London cable says: Under the title the \u2018American Challenge,\u201d the \u2018Saturday Review' prints a leading article which begins by saying: \u2018The British Empire has withstood many shocks,\u201d instancing Napoleonic campaigns, Russian menace, and \u2018in oar own generation the German challenge that found expression in the Kalser's telegram to Kruger, and which was fought out.by Gos- \u2018chen\u2019s flying squadron, \u2014 stop to nearly eyery other country, \u2018defmany, that.expected the British Empire to find its grave in the Transvaal and Orange Tree State.All the shocks,' according to the \u2018Review, \u2018served only to brace up,the British people to the high task they have set themselves to do in the world, but now the challenge to the British Empire comes from the most formidable of all our rivals, the United States, and the world is watching intensely to see how we act.Have we the spirit and idealism to carry us through, or are we to drift downward to rank with Holland and Spain?After this exordium, the \u2018Saturday Review\" goes on to argue that Canadian reciprocity is in line \u2018with the purpose which began with the declaration of independence and the invitation then addressed to the Canadian people to share in the fortunes of the new-born republic, and which has animated American policy all through the succeeding years\u2014the policy which dictated the message which Secretary Olny sent Lord Salisbury when he had the effrontery to give England notice to quit the American continent, and which inspired repeated rebuffs to Canadian statesmen when seeking facilities offered in the past years at the doors of the White House.The essential thing then was to teach the colony of Canada the perils of isolation.America having squandered her own natural resources seek: now to despoil Canada\u2019s for the particular advantage of American manufacturers and consumers.The warm hand of kinship is now extended northwards in the hope that it will be grasped before the slow-moving people of the United Kingdom fully awake to Imperial consciousness.\u2019 + IN TEMPERANCE CAUSE.The Rev.Dr.Robert Johnston Will Speak in Toronto.Toronto, Feb.11.\u2014The Rev.Robert Johnston, D.D., of

those who are it, as some are, would boast of it, should thev be exposed to the peculiar veil of gloom which sometimes overhangs London and other parts of England.The kind of weather that Londoners often get in winter is generally known as the \u2018pea- soup\u2019 variety, and according to popular cockney belief, you can sometimes cut the atmosphere with a knife, and, it is spoken of as solid enough to lean againct., While this may be exaggerated, end for the most part the English thrive in their climate, there fk nothing epocrypbal in the weather's occasional extreme unplees- antness.Thus, apeaking of a day to- wrrds the end of last month, the sober \u2018Westminster Gazette\u2019 says: \u2018Certainty\u2019 \u2018yesterday's experience was of a char- \u2018acter to justify the most accentuated \u2018spleen.There was a tinge or un- \u2018pleasant green in\u2019 the gloom which \u2018destroyed all sense of color even in Se Ae uy gen a ge | one \u2018to-day\u2014but many are also ;

there are some which challenge reply and would practically commit us to printing answers which might not be edifying; and there are some which consist in denunciations of other correspondents and commina- tions against their hardness of heart.There are some that are not sensible at all, some that are not decipherable, and many are refused on the ground of their length.As our readers know, we print some of ali thesc classes\u2014we have another very long left out.\" An \u2018Imperialist's\u2019 letter is an examination of the legal basis of the claims of the French language to an equal status with the English in Canada.In the article to which hia letter is a reply we did not go into any question of formal guarantees in discussing the languages of education.We simply said it was against public policy in Canada to oppose French because it is not English.We would not like our own language to be sup- prepsed by law.AH that is necessary and all that is wise is to insist that the schools shall in practice give an effective education.Bishop Fallon thinks that cannot be done where schools are taught in French, and ha bases that opinion on his observation: of such schools.If that diagnosis were incontrovertible there would be nothing for it but to require the teaching to be \u2018in English, seeing that the children must be taught.\u2018Imperialist\u2019s\u2019 argument that French should be ostracised because Canada was conquered by the English makes no appeal 10 us at all.In fact we resent it, as we know that we should hate those who should treat us in that way.If all this Writer says about the sentiments of the French towards Britain were true, we can only eay that such sentiments would be ours if we were to be told from time to time that we were conquered and must accept the c insequences.These references to bast warfare are in the worst of taste and are contrary to the spirit of fellow-citizen- ship, besides lacking the sense of historical balance.It is Probably true, as we said before, that Canada would have acted as did the other English colonies, had her people been English, It is not necessary to question Motives, The motives of people are usually human\u2014even our own.The fact remains that we are British because we ; ; TE wien WE ase BR gy oe Tie [ were - French.\u2018Imperiglists anti- » Chien SROUE ee French policy wes not always acted good impérisliem.The early gounted good : aim of imperia! policy was to make of Canada à French-speaking province.Impertal policy has continuous- ty treated Canada as the country of the French-Canadians to the full extent of their ocoupancy of it.If they obey the old law to increase and multiply and replenish the land they have a right to that advantage.The fact that such was the imperial attitude hes no doubt had much to do With the attitude of the French when questions of continentalism have arisen.In any case the policy of suppression is eminently unwise.We shall not inquire what those dire things are which our correspondent foreshadows in his last sentences.They are evidently things to be avoided if possible.Suppression is the very worst way to assimilate the French-speaking people and to make of two peoples one nation\u2014the worst way indeed t¢ promote the ultimate victory of the English speech.mme ENGLISH AND SINGING.The well-known musical critic and composer, Mr.Reginald de Koven, expressed a fact that must have occurred to all who have thought about it when he remarks that even English- born singers sing English unintelligibly.The occasion was a recent attempt by Madame Nordica to sing Wagner in English, and Mr.dc Koven says: \u2018As a matter of fact, it \u2018did honestly surprise me that a na- \u2018 tive-born English-speaking artist \u2018did \u2018not succeed in making herself \u2014_\u2014 tty between the two bouks.The Re J.E.Mahaffy.however, wh, has compared them.finds Many pon.> Tesemblance: (1) The seneral the stories is the sane;

while the songs of the English composers who are writing worthily today will take their rightful place in the English world\u2014a world which is beginning to grow somewhat weary of the \u2018foreign article\u2019 as expressed by a few composers who are worked to death.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE BOOK OF MORMON.Of all the products of Mormonism the devotees of the system pay the highest honor to and base their faith mogt securely on the \u2018Book of Mormon,\u2019 the revelation, as they tell us, that came to Joseph Smith, the prophet and founder of their \u2018church.It is identified with various revelations promised in the Bible, including the everlasting Gospel\u201d (Revelation xiv.6-7.) Strange to say this \u2018sacred book in its origin, style and contents, is it- gelf a very clear instance of the crudities and absurdities of the system.According to Joseph Smith and his followers an angel named Moroni first appeared to him on September 21, 1828, and after various visits ac- clared the existence of a record which he said was engraved on plates of gold, and which were buried in the side of a hifl near the prophets home.The plates were finally loaned to Joseph Smith by the angel, and he was miraculously enabled to translate them.In spite of the Italo-Hibernian name of the angel, the book contains histories of \u2018two great nations\u2019 of Asiatic origin.One, the Nephite nation.is said to have left Jerusalem in 800 B.C., and the other, the Jaredite nation.to have left the Tower of Babel after the confusion of tongues.Both crossed the Pacific and became the ancestors of the American \u2018In- diams.\u2019 The origin of this romance has been traced very clearly to a book written by a certain preacher named Solomon Spalding, who died in 1816.Smith had access some time before he had his \u2018revelation\u2019 to an old trunk containing some\u2019 of Spalding's manuscripts.A great deal of Mormon missionary literature is given up to the proof that Smith's revelation and Spalding\u2019s romance were quite distinct.A manuscript by Spalding reposes in Oberlin College, Ohio, and President Fairdhiid, of that institution, and others have been quoted by Mormons.to the effeot that there is no eimilar- ! in camp after a Ligh: or Both stories portray \u2026;, ters of Prominent lead.r.who wera believed (a Hs verse with celesu.! oo whose teachings be divinely roy enled - (15) Both stories cong, of a battle in Which, by 1, army was divided wp in east, west, north und gained a Blorions Victor, Stories are characterize i tale of a \u2018Sacred Rall been of divine origin, und w, | \u20acd the basis of religious |.» teaching: (13) Both dividual plots + Were ba!

something to eat about 4 o'clock, and contrary to report.were all well and ready to give the Renfrew bunch the trimming I feel confident we were able to.If the trunk wus deliberately lost as suggested, Russell Bowie would know something about that, and so would Duncan Campbell.You can't fool fellows like them.You also can't fool the C.«.R.people.who are -\u20184le for the trunk going

was in, and it arrived at 3 o'clock in the morning.\u2018J offered, in the presence of tie gentlemen named, to play the game at three o'clock in the morning.or any hour of the day, even up to to-night (Friday), taking a big chance if they accented the offer, saving we had a match with Quebec at the Arena on Saturday.\u2018J offered them $700 to come to Montreal.and again for the whole of the gate the match would draw, but they would listen to neither sense Or reason, so after talking for close on five hours, 1 turned to them in disgust and said \u201cYou evidently mean to claim the match, so I give it to you, and hope it will bring you luck.\u2018J shall leave the matter in the hands of the .H.A., and shall abide by their decision, but there was no mystery al.cunt the trunk going astray; it was an accident which might happen to any team, and it was through no fault of mine or anyone connected with the club that it was lost\u2019 That is the statement of Mr.George Kennedy, which is not a difficult one to prove, and the enquiries made by tlie writer find it corroborated in every detail.The situation, therefore, amounts to this, that if Renfrew, under the circumstances already fully explained, persist in claiming the game, they will be guilty of conduct unsportsmanlike in the extreme.They could not expect the Canadien team to go on the ice minus an outfit, and apparently were unable to provide one, and every fair-minded man will readily arrive at the conclusion that such a clumsy device as the deliberate side-tracking of an outfit trunk would be the last means resorted to by so astuate an individual as Mr.Kernedv.to avoid a game.with a team.which he, as well as other good judges of hockey, are convinced they would have had very little difficulty in de- ating.Fe Srenuedy's statement will be duly laid before the officials of the ational Hockey Association of Canada.who can safely be left to deal with it, without the assistance of irresponsible creamery town fans, sensational newspaper scandal mongers, ane others who are unable to conceal their jealousy of smart team in the _venom of thelr scandalous tongues.There is an old and true saying that one story is good until ancther is told, and so far as those connected witht his sporting page are concerned, the matter 18 a dead letter.A T.Emmett Quinn, in his wisdom an?sagacity, can be safely trusted to

at Ren- frew on Thursday night is still in doubt.This afternoon Mr.T.A.Low, M.P., a member of the Renfrew executive, stated that the Renfrew and Canadien teams would probably meet at Montreal in a week or two, Canadiens offered the Renfrew executive $1,000 to play off the game at the Montreal Arena, and Mr.Low is of the opinion that they should accept that proposition, although they were $1,- 100 out on last night's failure, George Martel \u2018phoned the Ottawa newspapers that the missing baggage had been located in Ottawa and that no blame could be attached to the Canadien Club.The baggage man who shifted it into the wrong car, which was detached and left on a siding at the C.P.R.depot, has been discharg- od, and the officials are further investigating.Meanwhile it is stated tr#t the Canadians will hold the railndy company responsible for damages.Some of the Renfrew executive members are in favor of having the Canadiens return to the Creamery Town for the match as soon as possible, while others think it should be played off in Ottawa.To-night, however, Mr.Herb Jordan,.secretary of the Renfrew Club, stated that they really considered the game theirs, and that they were

Ware, is quite a conspicuous and well known figure in Montreal's world of sport.Possibly the aggressive policy which lhe assumes in business as well as sport is due to the fact that he is a grand nephew of the Spion Kop hero, the late General Sir Redvers Buller, who was sent out with 50,000 Horse and Foot to Table Bay to accomplish that which it took 250,000 troops to accomplish, and three or four years to do it.But that is beside the subject.Thirty-one vearsago, ex-Mayor Ware of the ancient city of Exeter, the capital of beautiful Devonshire, England, decided that he would endeavour to repair his shattered fortunes In what many consider is the brightest jewel in the Empire's crown\u2014Canada, whose brightness at that time and is to-day, the attraction for many, young and old, in search of fame and fortune.That many succeeded.a search to-day of Canada\u2019s scientific, professional and commercial roll, will quickly prove, \u2018Doc\u2019 was one of four brothers inciuded in the family, and was at that time on the threshold of ambitious manhood.He commenced professional life as a \u2018Cub reporter\u2019 on the Montreal \u2018Gazette,\u2019 on returning from a tour in the United States, in the days when Mr.Robert White was connected with the paper.On suggesting that he should write a daily article on rifle shooting, he was informed that he could not furnish enough news for a column a week.Under the title of the \u2018Cartridge Box, it was the first continuous military column in the Dominion of Canada.He was elected secretary of the Association, and secretary of the Montreal Amalgamated Rifle Association, being a firm believer in Lho instruction of the young in the handling of a rifle.= He was an enthusizstic follower of Harriers, and an advocate of discouraging youths under 20 years of age competing in races of over 10 miles.An enthusiastic snowshoer, he has covered from the head of Pcel St.to Lum- kins, through thr pines and cemetery, in a little better than nineteen minutes, an achievement not without merit even to-day, in this age of speedy trampers.* Outdoor skating has a great attraction for Doc.Ware, and in order to encourage this healthy pastime, qpened an open air rink, and he is never so sentimentally happy as when presenting prizes to Lhe young skaters and competitors in the races and masquerades, who have been fortunate enough to cateh the judges\u2019 eye.No one who knows him and the rink will for a moment suggest that he has made anything out of the venture, rather has his genuine love for outdoor sport for the younger generation, caused him to dive pretty deeply into his bamk- ing account, but a visit there any special night, and a sight of \u2018Doc.Ware with the voung ones around him, would convince the most sceptical that Montreal has one whose interest in the advancement and welfare of the young generation is an honest and sincere one, and not for what therc is to be made out of it Montreal's 10 days of

Gotch when on ie mat and actually cried in his dressing- room, and he was the man who stated, before the match that if Gutch tried any rough tactics he would meet him half way.Anybody who has seun the pictures of the match will remember that Gotch handled \u2018Hack\u2019 as easily as could be desired, and \u2018Hack\u2019 seemed to be in constant fear of the toe hold, of which Gotch gave him a taste several times, and finally threw \u2018Hack\u2019 heavily, taking the remnants of courage from the \u2018Russian quitter.Haxk's only excuse was on the score uf bad condition, but when he arrived

and, close on our larivard beam, there were a great wall ice as much as sixty feet high.And says onr captain\u2014as were a dare-devil, af ever à onan wer: \u201cThere'll be an opening in you dark gray wall, and into that opening I'll sail, IT coast along it till th\u2019 day o\u2019 Judgment.\u201d But, for alt our sailing, we never scemed to come nearer tu th' opening.The waters were rocking beneath us, and the sky were steady above us; and th\u2019 ice ruse out 0 the waters, and scenicd to reach up into the sky.We sailed on, and we sailed on.for more days nov I could count.Our captain were à strange, wild man, hut onee he looked a little pale when he came up\u2019 deck arter his turnin, and saw the green-gray ice going straight up on our beam.\u2018Many on us thonght as the ship were hewitched for th\u2019 captain's words; and we got to speak low, and to say our prayers o' nights, and a kind o dull silence came into th\u2019 very air: our voices did na\u2019 rightly seem our own.And we sailed on, and we sailed on.All at once, th\u2019 man as were on watch gave a cry: he saw a break in the ice, as we'd begun to think were everlasting, and we all gathered towards the bows, and the captain called to th\u2019 man at the helm to keep her course, and cocked his head, and began to walk the quarter-deck jaunty again.And we came to a great cleft in th\u2019 long weary rock of ice; and the sides 0° th' cleft were not jagged, but went straight sharp down into th\u2019 foaming waters.But we took but one look at what lay inside, for our captain, with a loud cry to God, bade the helinsman steer nor\u2019ards away fra\u2019 th\u2019 mouth o\u2019 Hell.\u2018We all saw wi\u2019 our own eyes, inside that fearsome wall @\u2019 ice\u2014seventy mile long, as we could swear to\u2014inside that gray, cold ice, came leaping flames, all red and yellow wi\u2019 heat 0\u2019 some uncarthly kind out 0\u2019 th\u2019 very waters v' the sea: making our eyes dazzle wi their scarlet blaze, that shot up as high, nay, higher than th\u2019 ice around, yet never so much as a shred on *t was melted.They did say that some beside our captain saw the black devils dart hither and thither, quicker than the very flames themselves; ary- how.he saw them.And as he knew it were his own daring as had led him to have that peep at terrors forbidden to any on us afore our time, he Just dwincd away, and we hadn't taken hut one whale afore our captain died, and first mate took th\u2019 command.It Were a prosperous voyage;

an\u2019 says be, \u201cNow, Robson, all ready! give into ner again wFen she comes to t\u2019 top;\u201d an\u2019 I stands up, right leg foremost, harpoon all ready, as soon as ever I cotched a sight o' t\u2019 whale, but niver a fin could a see.\u2018\u2019Twere no wonder, for she were right below t\u2019 boat in which a were: and when she wanted to rise, what does t\u2019 great ugly brute do but come wi\u2019 her head, as is like cast iron, up bang again t° bottom o t\u2019 boat.I were tnrown up in t\u2019 air like a shuttlecock, me an\u2019 my line an\u2019 my harpoon \u2014up wc goos, an\u2019 many a good piece o\" timber wi\u2019 us, an\u2019 many a good fellow too; but a had t* look after my- sel\u2019.an\u2019 a were up high i\u2019 t' air, afore I could say Juck Robison, an\u2019 a thowt a were safe for another dive int\u2019 saut water; but i'stead a comes down plump on t\u2019 back o\u2019 t\u2019 whale.Ay! yo may stare, master, but theere a were, an\u2019 main an\u2019 slippery it were, only a sticks my harpoon intil her an\u2019 steadies mysel, am\u2019 looks abroad o'er t vast o\u2019 waves, and gets sea-sick in a manner, an\u2019 puts up a prayer as she mayn't live, und it were as geod à prayer for wishin® it might come true 28 iver t' clargyman an\u2019 t' clerk too puts up i\" Monkshaven church.\u2019 \u2018Well, a reckon it were heerd, for all 4 were i\u2019 them month latitudes, for she keeps steady, an\u2019 a does my best for © keep steady; an\u2019 \u2019deed a was too steady, for a was fast wi' t' harpeon line, all knotted and tangled about me.T\u2019 captain, he sings out for me to cut it: but #'s easy singin\u2019 out, and it's noane so easy fumblin\u2019 for Your knife i\u2019 t\u2019 pocket o' your drawers, when yo've t\u2019 hold hard wi\u2019 t\u2019 other hand on t\u2019 back of a whale, swim- min\u2019 fourteen knots an hour.At last a \u2018thinks to mysel a can't get free 0 t line, and t\u2019 line is fast to t\u2019 har- Poon, and t' harpoon is fast t\u2019 t\u2019 whale; and t\u2019 whale may go down fathoms deep wheniver t\u2019 maggot stirs à her head; an\u2019 t\u2019 watter's cold, an\u2019 noane good for drownin\u2019 in; a can\u2019t get free: ot\u2019 line, and a cannot get my knife out oo my breeches pocket though ¢ captain should ca\u2019 it mutiny to disobey orders, and t\u2019 line\u2019s fast to t' harpoon\u2014let\u2019s see if t\u2019 harpoon\u2019s fast to t' wnale) \u2018So a tugged, and a lugged, and t whale didn\u2019t mistake it for ticklin\u2019, but she cocks up her tail, and throws out showers 0° Water as Were ice or iver it touched me; but a pulls on at t\u2019 shank, an\u2019 a were only afeard as she wouldn*t keep at t\u2019 top wi\u2019 it sticking in her; but at last t\u2019 harpoon \u2018broke, an\u2019 just i\u2019 time, for a reckon she was near as tired 0\u2019 me as a were on her, and down she went: an\u2019 a had work to make for t\u2019 boats as was near enough to catch me; for what wi\u2019 t whale\u2019s being but slippery an\u2019 t' wat- ter being cold, an\u2019 me hampered wi\u2019 t line an\u2019 t\u2019 piece o\u2019 harpoon, it's a chance, missus, as thou had stopped an oud maid.\u2019 \u2018Eh dear a\u2019 me!\" said Bell, \u2018how well I mind vo'r telling me that tale! It were twenty-four year ago come October.1 thought I never could think enough on a man as had rode on a whale\u2019s back!\u201d \u2018Yo\u2019 may learn t° way of winnin\u2019 t women,\u201d said Daniel, winking at the specksioneer.And Kinraid immediately looked at Sylvia.It was no premeditated action: it came as naturally as wakening in the morning when his sleep was ended; but Sylvia colored as red as any Tose at his sudden glance,\u2014col- ored so deeply that he looked away untfl he thought she had recovered ter composure, and then he sat gazing at her again.But not for long.for Bell, suddenly starting up, did all but turn him out of the house.It was late, she said, and her master was tired, and they \u2018had a hard day before them next day; and jt was keeping Ellen Corney up; and they had had enough to drink,\u2014 more than was good for them, she was sure, for they had both been taking her in with their stories, which she had been foolish enough to believe.No one saw the real motive of all this almost inhospitable haste to dismiss her guest, how the sudden fear had taken possession of her that he and Sylvia were \u2018fancying each other.Kinraid had said early in the evening \u2018that he had come to than}; her for mer kindness in sending the sausages, as he waz off to his own home near Newcastle in a day or two.But now he said, in reply to Daniel Robson, that he would step in another night before long and hear some more of the old man\u2019s yarns.Daniel had just had enough drink to make him very good-tempered, or else his wife would not have dared to have acteÿ as she did: and this maudlin amiability took the shape of hoss pitable urgency that Kinraid should come as often as he liked to Hayters- bank; come and make it his home when he was in these parts: stay there altogether, and su on, till Bell fairly shut the outer door to, and locked it before the specksioneer had well got out of the shadow of their roof.All night long Sylvia dreamed of burning volcanoes springing out of icy southern seas.But, as in the speck- sioneer\u2019s tale the flames were peopled with demons, there was no human interest for her in the wondrous scene in which she was no aotor, only a spectator.With daylight came wakening and .little homely every-day wonders, Did \u201cOur doctor gave me medisine but it Kinraid mean that he was going away really and entirely, or did he not?Was he Molly Corney\u2019s sweetheart, or was he not?When she had argued herself into certainty on one side, she suddenly wheeled about, and was just of the opposite opinion.At length she settled that it could not be settled until she saw Molly again; so, by a strong gulping effort, she resolutely determined \u2018to th'nk no more about him, only about the marvels he had told.ATA be continued.) \u201c | It\u2019s got to be looked after\u2014neglect \\ been saving my money to puy a pink Biggest organ of the body\u2014the bowels\u2014and the most importapt\u2014 means suffering and years of misery.CASCARETS help nature keep every part of your bowels clean and strong\u2014then they act right\u2014means health to your whole body.ui CASCARETS 10\u20ac à box for a week's treat- meat, All druggi Biggest seller in the world \u2014 Min Digs a month.BEARDED WOMEN CAN NOW TAKE HOPE Ladies Troubled With Superfluous Hair Need No Longer Despair.- À Generous Woman Offers Free the Secret of Her Cure A reputable woman of Providence, R.I., asks us to announce to our readers that it is no longer necessary for anyone to he annoyed by a growth of superfluous hair.She tells us she has learned of a simple method learned from Japan, by means of which she herself was entirely cured of her af- fliction, after she had tried all kinds of powder, paste and liquid preparations, many of them seemingly highly- recommended \u2018\u2018hair-removers,\u201d not on- Jv without success.but in some cases with harmful results.She states that she found this Japanese method requires but a few moments\u2019 time, and is not only very simple, but absolutely safe, painless and free from the objectionable features of the ordinary fopilatories she has\u2019 tried unsuccess- ully.: Her encouraging announcement will probably be very welcome to those of our readers who have tried many things without success, for although this lady herself had previously been through many disappointing experiences, she at last found complete relief.Indeed, for the very reason that she was disappointed so often, she can now sympathize with others.and wo has decided to send to any other sufferer quite free, full particulars to enable them to secure the same happy results that she did.All she asks is that you enclose a two-cent stamp for reply.which she will send sealed in a plain envelope.We advise all our readers who are troubled in this way to write at once to Mrs.Caroline Osgood, 232 B.W., Vaughan Bidg., Providence, R.I.Wanderers at Ottawa.For the convenience of the Wanderers Hockey Club and their friends who are anxious to gee the great game that will be played in Ottawa Saturday, February 11th, the Canadian Pacific has arranged to run a special train from Montreal.at 3.45 p.m.on Saturday, February 11th.Returning, this special will leave Ottawa, Central Station, immediately after the game is over.Round trip tickets will be sold for $3.35, good going by all trains Saturday, February 11th.Return until Monday, February 13th.\u201cBED-TIME STORIES HOW BETTY DISCOVERED THE SILVER.\u2018Grandma,\u2019 said Bettl, sticking her head into the dining-room where her grandmother sat shelling peas, \u2018Topsy is In your garden patch again eating the vegetables.\u2019 Grandma hobbled to the window and looked out.\u2018Land sakes alive!\u2019 she exclaimed, \u2018if that old horse didn\u2019t get loose at lease once a day I'd surely think the world was coming to an end.\u2019 There in the midst of the little garden was Topsy, dragging the rope with which she had been tied, and feasting on grandma's very cholest vegetables.Unlike the other horses, Topsy, whether in the fields or in the yard, always had to be tied.In the first place she dearly loved to wander away and sometimes a stout rope would fail to keep her where she belonged, because she would bite the rope until sis had freed herself.: Then, too, she was extremely fond of getting into mischief.She liked nothing better than to get loose and wander through the flower beds of grandma's garden patch.Sometimes she was very hard to catch, so it was always Betty and Don, a beautiful collie, who went afisr irl Topsy.When Betty came back to the house her face was flushed and Don was panting, so grandma knew that the old horse had not been easy to catch.Betty threw her sun-bonnet on a chair and dropped to the sofa.Don't lay =t her feet; up and down his back she ran her bare toes, making furrows in his thick coat.\u2018Didn't you once tell me, grandma, that there is a mortgage on this farm?\u2019 she asked abruptly.\u2018Yes, child, and when your grandfather was dying he said to me, \u201cMarthe, some day you'll discover where I hid the money to pay off the mortgage on the farm.My will's in the tin box on the top shelf in the pantry.\u201d 1 found the will, but it didn't tell where he had hidden the money.)

this session.The figures show a slight increasc¢ over last year.In Arts the totul registration is 931.This number is made up of woth intramural and extra-mural students.In the intra-mural registration a decrease is noticed when compared with last year, tho numbers being 438 for 1909-10, as compared with 311 for the present term.This decrease is due to the new provision made last year that extra-mural students must put in at least one year's attendance at classes, and is fully balanced by thc increased intra-mural attendance this year, which shows 620 as compared with 505 for 1909-10.in medicine, there is also a slight increase, while Education, Science, and Theology are almost the same as last year.The total registration this term, including extramural students, is 1538.The speaker at the afternoon service in Convocation Hall, on Sunday, was Prof.Griffith Thomas, of Wycliffe College, Toronto.He delivered a very vigorous address from the text Romans 1:16.We were glad to welcome Dr.Thomas to Queen's.This is his first visit to the Limestone City.We trust it may not be the last.A mass meeting of the Arts men was called at 4 o'clock on Monday, to consider the question of smoking in the Arts club room.This matter has been before the society for a considerable time, and since no definite conclusion could be attained in the regular meetings, \u2018a special mass meeting was called to settle the subject.A large attendance of Arts men was the result, and a vigorous debate pro and con.The gist of the matter is as follows: About three or four years ago the Arts Society requested and received from the Senate the use of a room in the basement, adjolning the reading room, for the purpose of turning it into a club room.One of the conditions of the grant was that this room should be available at any time for social functions, when it is used as a refreshment roon.Last year a request for smoking privileges was refused Ly the senate.During the past year, however, the demand for a smoking room has become urgent, and a petition had been circulated again requesting the senate to grant smoking in the club room.On the other hand, there was a large body of the Arts students who, though not opposed to smoking, yet were not in favor of smoking in the club room.They stood on their rights as mem- ers of the Arts Society to have a club room which would be a place of enjoyment to them, which, they claimed, it would cease to be if smoking were allowed.The mass meeting held on Monday, then, was to come to a final decision in the matter.The de- Late continued for an hour, when the motion In favor of smoking was put and lost by à vote of two to one.Word has just arrived that another Queen's man is to be chosen as Rhodes scholar for Alberta.MF Stanley Scott, Arts \u2018123, has just received a communication from the Deputy Minister of Education for that province that his name will be recommended by the special Rhodes scholarship committee.It is worthy , Of

seen and his master is offered two hundred dollars for him.He goes home proud and happy, but on the way is chased into a barbed wire fence and so seriously injured that all chance of a sale is gone

\u2018nigger-horse,\u2019 and is an outcast till, on Jim's death, he is returned to the Captain, who hasn't any use for him.A curious chapter here tells of the negro superstition of witch-ridden

the mortgage from Netbtles at.the race, and that Nettles hag fled to escape arrest for fraud.Ten years of triumph as champion end in another great mace at New York, when Nettles challenges him with a supposed untameable monster of a horse, who has, however, owned him as his master.In spite of careful guarding one of the attendants is cowed into drinking drugged liquor, and Hal is poisoned by pouring mercury in his ears.Maddened aud blinded, he plunges into the horse amd sulky, beside him, and in the smash Nettles is killed, Reddy injured, and the \u2018man eater\u2019 dies as a result.Hal is to be sold at auction, as Reddy can never drive him again, but at the last minute he is saved from the sad fate of the out-of-date race-horse by the intervention of Mlle.Katherine, the famous

gives his life to save his horse from the hoofs of the demon man-eater.Characteristic scenes of Tennessee life are introduced.A very dramatic chapter tells of a mid by a gang of sheep-killing dogs, who round up \u2018the helpless creatures and are about to destroy them when Billy, the goat, places himself at their head and protects them till the master appears with his gun.Between Billy and Hal's mother the dogs have already suffered sovere handling, and they flee when the Captain and his collie arrive on the scere.\u2018The Gift of the Grass\u2019 is quite an enthralling story of very lawless life, and deepens the tenderness of a Tover of horses for these faithful friends of man.ESSAYS AND SKETCHES BY MARK RITHERFORD.A second edition of \u2018Pages from a Journal\u2019 and \u2018More Pages from a Journal,\u201d by Mark Rutherford, (Henry Frowde, 4s.6d.each) is in handy form for carrying about.The little bits of description of English scenery and English weather, short sketches of character, tales of every day life and critical essays on literary men and women are pleasant reading for a spare half hour, and of soothing quality for the nervoun or excited reader.The essays on Byron's \u2018Corsair\u2019 and \u2018Little Nell\u2019 both defend the characters and their portrayers from the chorus of critical disapproval that for a while attended them.Mr.Rutherford believes, with Dickens himself, that Little Nell is human, lovable and truly pathetic, not a bundle of false philosophy and sentiment, and he makes a fine analysis of the character of her grandfather.It is Byron's alleged immorality that is specially the bone of contention between Mr.Rutherford and other critics, in which he entere on a chivalrous, daring championship of the moral quality of bath the poet and his works.\u2018Byron above almost all other poets, at least in our day, has been set down as immoral.In reality he is moral, using the word in its proper sense, and he is so, not only in detached passages, but in the general drift of most of his poetry.\u2019 Conrad, the Corsair, is taken as a type of Byron\u2019s creations.\u2018Conrad is not a debauched buccaneer, was not, We do not underatand how moral rt is to yield unreservedly to enthusiasms, to the impression which great objects make upon us, and to embody that impression in worthy language.\u2019 In the following essay, \u2018Byron and Goethe,\u201d he challenges Matthew Arnold's quotation of the German poet, \u2018the moment he reflects, he is a child.\u2019 Mr.Rutherford takes the passage from Goeth» with its context to show that this was meant not in a general sense, but of the faculty of ae.ach- ment, of \u2018oonscious consideration.\u2019 From other passages he shows that Goathe held Byron as the greatest Fnglish poet of his time, translating Could Not Walk Ten Yards Without Resting, WEAK HEART WAS THE CAUSE.Mrs.Robinson Collette, Rogersville, N.B, writes: \u201cI am now enjoying the best of health after having used your Milburn\u2019s Heart and Nerve Pons troubled with a weak heart and was afraid to draw a long breath for the pain it would cause me.I could not sleep at night, and it was impossible for me to walk ten yards without resting myself.I cannot speak too highly of your Heart and Nerve Pills, for they are the greatest pill I have ever used and I can recommend them to all sufferers.\u201d Thousands of people go about their daily work on the verge of death and yet do not know it.Little attention is paid to the slight weakness of the heart for the sim treason that one thinks it will right itself, but there is where the mistake is made.It is only when a violent shock comes that the weakness of the beart becomes apparent.the first sign of any weakness of the heart or nerves, flagging energy or hysical breakdown, the use of Milburn's Éreart and Nerve Pills will soon produce a quik and permanent cure.ice 50 cents per box, or 3 for $1.25, at all dealers or

and all for the price of nine shillings is what Mr.Henry Frowde has issued in the \u2018World\u2019s Classics.\u2019 Vol.1 contains the general introduction by Algernon Charles Swinburne (some forty-seven pages long, to give some idea of the length to which Mr.Swinburne has allowed himself to enter into his subject), and a note by Theodore Watts-Dunton on the special typographical features of this edition.In addition to this.an introductory study is supplied to each play by Edward Dowden, brief but to the point, supplying the only thing in the way of editorial note or comment that it is deemed the master dramatist requires.For the aim and special value of this edition Mr.Watts-Dunton is well fitted to speak.It is, he says, especially designed for those who love to read his works in the open air.\u2019 As to the edition, usual way, are printed in smail roman Characters.+ - No doubt the ugliness of the ordinary dramatic page printed A Of roman and ital types JS not 80 vexing when

\u2018 4 MODERN PROBLEMS.No tracking down of old-world pirates or cleaning out of the dens of modern thievery could read with more sustained interest than such an article as \u2018Cassidy and the Food Poisoners\u2019 in the current \u2018Hampton's,\u2019 This is a story, too, that in no punning sense, has a vital interest, for every consumer in these days of high prices, and contrived foods should have a healtny determination to know what he is getting for the goodly ou-lay of his bard- ly-earned money.Yes, this is muckraking, but it is a raking over of that rubbish which is daily insinuated in one form or another inte the stomachs of respectable citizens and a little of natura] hysteria, a little of calculated laying out of a black article on a somewhat unusual background of publicity\u2019s white light, my be acknowledged in corside.ing such an article and yet the essential facts be seen as not extorted.The temptation to quote from the savory records of the glucose poisoning story, of the Hamburger steak concoction, of the \u2018rots and spots\u2019 preservation in the sale of eggs, is continuous.The article gives names and dates impartially, and even among those who are the most honorable of men there is a showing up of facts and figures that makes for curious meditation.This has also laid the magazine open for suca actiors for libel as have been promptly taken against it as a matter of course by that mark for some of its hot shois, tha Standard Oi] Company.The exhorbitant charge in human life and limb whick the rapid progress of the United tates sends in to the nation has givan its earnest thinkers frequent serious pause and the endeavor to come at some solution of the problem is resulting in the introduction of various Jabor-saving or em- ployces\u2019 compensation bills.An editorial in the current \u2018Century\u2019 notes with gratification the \u2018increasing demand for a radical change in our industrial liabflity and workmen\u2019s compensation laws.The movement is not new, the injustice of existing laws having been recognized by many from the day of their enactment; but what might properly be called a national insistence upon their improvement is comparatively of recent growth.It is distinctly encouraging to note that to-day not only are the nation and the states interested in this humane movement, but individual employers\u2019 associations, and the great body of workmen as well, are giving the subject keen attention.New York state has already enacted a law which is considered radical by some and faulty by others, but is generally acknowledged to be an important step in the right direction.Massachusetts, Ohio, Wisconsin Indiana and New Jersey have bills of a similar nature under consideration, and many other states are showing signs of an awakening of interest in the enactment of legislation which will serve not only to lessen the appalling list of industrial accidents\u2014 estimated at 500,000 annually\u2014but wii! give needed and just relief to the sick, the injured, and the destitute, and will also protect the employers\u2019 legitimate interests.For a quarter of a century

country.The movement afoot to-day means much tor the welfare of the whole nation.MEN AND OPINIONS.Some attempt at photographing a puzzling personaliiy has been made, and not without success by Mr.Lawrence Jerrold, where he deals with M.Briand in his recent book of essays \u2018The Real France\u2019 (London: John Lane.) Other characters of note in the France of to-day and also phases of its life and activity, which may escape the mere tourist or traveller, are.carefully sketched from long knowledge by Mr.Jerrold, but no extended Quotation is necessary to get his view of M.Briand as thè man for the place that he undertook to fill.He came without a watch-word of his own, without a principle, a battle-cry, an ideal, À French politician without an ideal seemed marvellous.He came a mêre man, and said he Was only that, a man called to the governing function who had adapted or meant to adapt himself to it: a mere man among watchwords and battle-cries.Tle mellifluous audacity of the man as he spoke, with his rich voice, seemeu marvellous: to come without a heavenly call to save and regenerate, without a panacea, without even a policy, except for tomorrow morning at latest, to come with hands empty of all these things and merely ready to do what was to be done next.The astonishment was so great that when the mere, plain, unprincipled man came, the battle-cries suddenly staled.He said he was merely a man adapted to his function, he seemed suddenly to be merely an organ, to have appeared merely hecause the function called him into use.But what other definition is there of the man of the hour?He ceased to exist as a politician, a builder of better things for other men, a pastor.He was only the instrument of the nation for the moment's work, he was just the too] the hand had looked for.He came blandly, almost calling himself a tool.He dropped iis old dreams without compunction, his old friends without a sizh, he adapted himself.The Prime Minister was no longer a constructor of policies, a leader of battle, the incarnation of & cause.- Ie was the organ fulfilling its functions; but it was strongly and suddenly felt that the function had been waiting, and that this was the organ it expected, that the right man had come for the right job at the right moment.It may seem curious to the mind accustomed to consider the ordinary de- teotive story or the tale of a crime as the most interesting of «ill classes of fiction to hear tiie opinion of Mr.Arthur C.Train, a lawyer, formerly an assistant district-attorney, and a writer of some of the most convincing Stories of crime and its detection.He does not by any means consider crime in itself of interest.Speaking to a representative of the New York \u2018Sun\u2019 he says: I want to say right here, and I want to emphasize it, that no story of crime or of criminal procedure is interesting, because of this fact but in spite of it.Crime and everything connected with it are at their best sordid and repellant.What makes a story based on them at all interesting, is those things that make stories of any and all types interesting \u2014 interesting personality or conditions.The criminal is interesting despite the fact that he is a criminal hecause of his personality; conditions or incidents are interesting despite the fact that they are criminal conditions or incidents, and they must be uncommonly interesting to overcome the barrier.Few stories of crime would be interesting that are accurate, true to life records.The story writing impulse must go hand in hand with imagination.The setting, the background and the foundation of the characters may be drawn from experience, but all that only for a basis.The enthusiastic note of prophecy on which an article in the February \u2018Bookman closes its review of Mr.David Graham Phillips's rise and work has something of tne pitiful! in it in view of the young author's sudden cutting off at the 'rands of a maniac, all the more that he had seemed to be just successfully coming into his own.The article concludes: Mr.Phillips is a writer with many qualities and some defects\u2014like all men who have it in them to do big things.But it would be easy to forgive more serious faults than his in anyone possessing his breadth and depth of interest in the serious problems of life and his outspoken fearlessness in handling them.There are, unfortunately, few in this country to-day who are even trying to do the sort of work that he is doing.And the fact that he does it with apparent ease, and has reached the point where he is doing it with triumphant strength, promises well for the future.A piece of frank criticism that is well earned is that accorded Mr, Jack London for his latest book, a collection of short etories, by the \u2018Sun':\u2014 \u2018They are told with the directness that js the chief merit of this writer and the unpleasant

cultivation or a general knowledge of the plants.They are certainly wonderful among the flowering plants, and their treatment in their artificial life with us consists in keeping them cool and drv during winter, while in spring and summer when growth is made, they can be placed outside, fully exposed to the sun, and provided with suffcient moisture to stimulate growth.If set out in pots a hole must be dug under the pot.and a layer of coal ashes put in\u2014for lack of free drainage will give the plant its deathblow, It is very interesting to know the uses to which Cacti are put, for some of them are so woody that they are made into walking canes, paper knives and inkstands.Huts are built of the lumber of the Cereus Giganteus, and fences of Opuntia Tuna, are impenetrable to man and heast.Even our well known Cereus Grandiflorus is useful, for the young stems are made into a hair tonic, and some specimens afford @ drink for the thirsty traveller who cuts the top off the plant, leaving a basin like cavity, soon filled with juice.The large tuber of Cereus Greggi is cooked and eaten by Indians in Mexico, and in that country the Cereus Tuberose Is a pronounced cure for rheumatism.Some of the Opuntias are eaten by the Mexican Indians, who take the young leaves and fry them in batter like cakes.So these fanciful plants that are so small with us, and treasured as

plant with economy, but there is a choice among them that requires careful selection.It will be necessary to plant something between the shrubs that ardfso far apart.but tall growing perennials are out of place in such a border.though some of the Campanulas would bloom in June before the annuals were at their best, and could then be cut down and inconspicuous.The same may be said of Columbines, \u2018that are low growing and graceful set in clumps between the shrubs, but it is best to keep {0 dne or two colors in the foreground, and if your color scheme is red and white, to have the rest in neutral shades, in harmony.It is difficult to find suitable permanent edging for a flower border, so there is really nothing better than dwarf Sweet Alyssum, Little Gem or Tom Thumb.It comes into bloom very quickly, and can be sown very early, in fact.it is necessary to do so, as later sowings are often devoured by the black fly just as it comes through the ground.; As said before, no One variety of plants will keep up a continuous bloom ali season; they follow rach other se quickly, that it is not always eusy to realize.; Dwarf Salvias would look well in front of the Alyssum.and so Told the Cuppea.or Cigar plant.but they cost little more than ordinary bedding lants.; On light land the gay markings of Coleus make a border bright.but the first touch ef frost blights them, and the situation may be too sunmy for Tuberous Begonias.These are a few hints on a verv wide subject.INSECT ON PLANT.\u2018Rubber Plant.\u2019 \u2014The descrintion vou give me suggests \u2018scale\u2019 as the source of the trouble, and wvour only remedy {8 to thoroughly wash every leaf on the under-side, also stems, with whale oll soap.\u2014 A rubber plant at this season of the Year should not be soaked, and you will be as well to sec that drainage is perfect.Whatever the insect that has attacked the leaves, you arc safe to spray them with clean tepid watcr, after the washing of stems and mid-ribs.- If thoroughly done the plant should rc- cover, LEAF FOR NAME.\u2018An Old Reader.\u2014The nanie you give the plant is that by which it is gencral- ly called Leopard Lily, the proper name, however, is Farfugium Grande.It is 8 rare and beautiful plant.and you must have given it good care to have done so well.for it is a tender conservatory plant and does not bear neglect without showing the effect.if you keep it warm and continue your good care, there is no reason for it failing to bloom, and the leaves will grow very large and handsomely spotted.AN ORANGE TREE.W.F.\u2014It is not advisable to trim the tree at this season of the year, and the remedy for the insects infesting i1, is to wash the leaves, stems and ribs with whale oil soap, then spray daily with clear tepid water.At this season of the year the insert enemies multiply rapidly, and ji is necessary to keep a close watch along the steams and destroy tiem.Tlns is all the more possible, because they are all averse to soap and water.VEGETABLES FOR CHILDREN.Mrs.MeD.\u20141t is quite safe to feed growing children vegetables such as onions, peas and beans, for the sake of the sulphur and iron they contain.these two elements contributing largely to the structure of the bones.Beans and peas contain more nutriment, pound for pound, than beef, holding as they do a large percentage of the substance known as \u2018protein,\u2019 which goes to make muscle and blood.Even vegetables like spinach that holds but a small percentage of actual nourishment contributes mineral salts that are valuable in the dietary.Potatoes are too much used as a staple food for children and contribute starch witi- out strength.It is not always understood that Ly some masterful methods of cooking a large part of tlie nutriment contained in them is wasted.When potatoes are svaked in cold water after pecling.from one-fourth to one-half of their nourishing substance is dissolved out of them, to be thrown away witl) the water.and 1 is reckoned that in this way a bushel of potatoes lores an amount «of nutriment cqual to that contained in a pound of lean sirloin steak.If, un the other hand, the potatoes are put at once inlo boiling \u2018water after peeling ae luss is reduced by fifty percent, and when boiled in their jackets the loss is unly oue percent.FOR THE KITCHEN GALDEN Suburban.\u2014The soil is very important in laying out your garden, and, of course, the ideal i= the rich alluvial.the clay or sandy soam.If you are not the fortunate possessor of any of these, then take the best at hand, and make the most possible out of it.The practical question is as to what soil will be utilized for this department of the garden.Is it heavy clay wet and retentive\u201d Then, if possible, open it up with underdrains, to draw off the surplus water and admit the air.Lime or wood ashes will assist in opening up these soils.Good stable manure will help to loosen the soil and also add humus and other necessary elements of plant life.Light gravelly soils will require a great deal of manure for best results.Sometimes, one ur more of the essential elements, nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash are lacking to such an extent that stable manure does not make up for the deficiency.nitrate of soda, bome meat and unleached hardwood ashes will give quick results.In this climate, when the season is 80 short, a hotbed is almost indispensable, be it ever so small, for the tender plants sown in the ground are too late in maturing.Out-of-doors peas, tuce, onions and carrots can be sown first, then later the beans, beets and corn, but for the latter the soil must be warm and dary, or it will rot.The hotbed will shelter the tomatoes and cabbage\u2014the cauliflower and peppers, and tender flower seeds.In working among the vegetables make your plans so that the double- wheeled hoe can be used.It is a great labor-saver, and with tbe attachments will make garden work light, and dc- Stroy many weeds in a short time.One great advantage in the use of this tool, is the fact that it can ba started before the plants are out of the ground\u2014going between the rows and close to them if the ground is properly marked.Use forethought and have everything in order before the season opens, so that the work may go on without delays when the season opens.HOUSE PLANT QUESTIONS.Amateur.\u2014In the first place, plants have different needs, and the treatment on which your rubber plant will thrive would ruin a fern.Steam and furnace-heated houses are hard on plant life, and it will be necessary to have a thermometer in the room where your plants are Kept, aud to sce that it does not get above 63 or 70 degrees in the day-time, or below 55 at night, for it is the extremes of temperature that spoil indoor gardening.A kettle of boiling water set on the radiator will help to moisten tlie atmosphere, which is generally too dry for plants, and a tine atomizer is useful to spray the leaves, with tepid, soft water every day.One secret of failure is keeping plants in the showy brass and crockery jardinieres that are nice to look at, but bad for the plant, unless the inside pot is well raised out of the radishes and let- water that may drain into them.House plants are like lniumans, and do not thrive with wet feet.If a rubber plant or palm is set in once of these, it is quite Ikelv to crow sickly, and should be taken out and allowed to get dry shod.Constant care this month will « repaid with March flowers.FEL Le \\ \\ \u2014 DODDS PILLS @&; ra Td d f 14 \\ (pi

\u2018Witness.\") Sir,\u2014The manufacturers in their memorial claim to be business men.Do they infer that farmers are not business men, and, consequently, are not competent to deal with such matters as the tariff, or are we only supposed to foot the bill?In all they claim to represent $1,200,000,000 invested capital.Is not farmers invested capital all over the Dominion as big, or bigger than theirs?They employ 435,000 men.How many men do the farmers employ\u201d?They also say they distribute $230,000,000 in wages, which works out at an average of $575 per year per man, us I presume ull man- * agers, head clerks, and high priced officials\u2019 salaries are included in this two hundred and fifty millions, it seems to me that after all this talk about the tariff helping the workingman does not amount to much, as from these figures it is evident that the artisan and general laborer does not get such very wonderful wages after all, and the argument very often used of having to compete with cheap labor in the European countries does not look very well to me in face of these figures.In fact, they contirm me in some of my opinions, viz., that wages would not be any lower under Free Trade, and that the increased cost of an article due to the tariff goes into the manufacturers\u2019 pocket and not the workingman's.But then, of course, as I am only a farmer, not a business man, my opinion does not amount to much.THE FARMERS\u2019 SHARE IN THE COUNTRY.Again, let us bear in mind that as we expect at the next census to have a popul.tion of about eight millions, that 435,000 is only onc-sixteenth part of the population, and remember that the fifteen-sixteenths pay the tariff.We seem to have lest the old \u2018Infant industries\u2019 cry, and have instead a plea for tariff, so that they can specialize.If we give them time to specialize, will they want the earth next?Next, we came across this: \u2018The Canadian people (alter this to farmers) have invested heavily in existing industrial (alter this to agricultural) enterprises and all interests, agriculture (alter this to manufacturing), fishing, lumbering, min!ag, banking, transportation, etc, are virtually concerned in the continuity of their operations.\u2019 By the alteration of these three words it is an argument that fits our case just as well as their case.Then we come to the throwing open of our natural resources to the United States.I fail to see where we ever advocated it.Will a reciprocity treaty transfer control of our resources from our own government to the American Government?I guess not.A lot of our ratural resources have already been handed over to private interests, and would it hurt us, the common people, any more for them to be in the hands of Americans than it does for them to be in the hands or our Canadian speculators?Natural resources should be, and I hope soon will be, kept out of either American or Canadian speculatcrs\u2019 hands.BLUE RUIN.Now we come to the blue ruin depicted, that if we enter into a treaty with the United States we shall have to abandon the National Transcontinental Railway, the Welland Canal, the Georgian Bay (Canal, the building of the Hudson Bay Railway (for which I believe government has 20 millions in hand from sale of western lands) and terminal elevators.Won't this be awiul! I always thought I was a doubting Thomas, but I am not in it with them, as I have far more faith in the country than that.The Hudson Bay Railway seems to me will draw a lot of trafic from the western wheat states of America, and it seems to me would capture far more trade than we should lose by this treaty, even supposing we lost any.The same applies to the Georgian Bay Canal, as freight will always go the cheapest way.Terminal elevators will pay for themselves, as our wheat built them in the first place, it is self-evident that our wheat can and will build them where new ones are needed, and provide a sinking fund to pay off any the Government may buy.You would think that we western farmers were asking for a free gift of these elevators.No such thing, we have always paid for the use of them, and always expect to pay for it.Even supposing we were so selfish (or should I say businesslike) as to ask for them as a free gift, should we get as much as has been paid in bounties, te.say, the steel industries, which ~ understand is about 14 millions.I doubt if these terminal elevators would cost more than eight or ten millions.Do not the western farmers represent at least as many citizens as the steel industry, and would we not be entitled to as much bounty as them if we were so selflsh as to ask for it, which we do not.THE FARMER'S BURDEN.Again, if the $200 per year that each of us farmers pays now yearly, to say nothing about the lumbermen, fishermen and miners, or if you think ¢his estimate too high, which I do not, say $150 for this wonderful tariff, out of which government gets about 20 per- cen.and the manufacturers 80 percent, was levied by direct taxation, government would then get the whole $150 or $200, and if you reckon this up and reckon that at least four millions of our population are farmers, which is a conservative estimate, at an aver- ag?of four in the family, for each farmer leaves the rather respectable sum of 150 millions if you levy $150, and 200 millions if you levy $200.As this is not the only sour:e of revenue (farmers should not pay more than their fair share), you can easily see that it is not so difficult after all to raise the money for these improvements.I do not believe they need to tax us anything like this sum, as they only get about $20 out of every $100 we pay for the tariff now, they would only need to get one-fifth of the $150 or $200, or say $30 or $40, which would mean a clear saving to us of $120 to $160 per year for each family.Then, again, why no* put on an income tax and make somu of the others as well as the producers contribute.As regards the barley duty put on in the United States in 1890, it may have nearly ruined (although I have my doubts) some of the farmers in Ontario and Quebec, and did they get any help from .-vernment?No, sir; they worked out their own salvation like men.A little more manliness about our manufacturers would be a good thing.DOES THE TARIFF BENEFIT FARMERS.Now we come to the home market argument.Do e get any higher price for the 80 percent (even suppos- ing this is correct) sold at home than we do for the 20 percent sold in for- elgn lands?I think not.The export price rules the price at home as well as in the foreign market.Do we get any more for a bushel of wheat or a pound of beef eaten in Toronto or Hamilton than we do for them if eaten in, say, France or England?Certainly not, and as long as we have a surplus we never shall.So that I do not 80 so very much on this home market argument.It may benefit a few that are within a few miles of a big town, but as I doubt if they are 5 percent, I call it folly to penalize 95 percent for the benefit of possibly five percent.They say we farmers are \u2018beneficiaries under a moderate protective tariff.\u201d 1 note their idea of & moderate tariff.The Lord help us If we were up against what they would call an exorbitant tariff.This statement that we are beneficiaries is always being made, but they never yet, that I have seen, advanced a panticle of proof.Where does it come in ?If the tariff certainly does not and cannot increase the price of our staple commodities, such as wheat, oats, barley, cattle, sheep or hogs, as we have a surplus of these, and as we have to export the vlus in competition with the whole world, we have to take a price fixed by the law of supply and demand, and no government, however willing, can legislate to increase the price of these commodities.Can the tariff raise the price of our land ?I guess not.The price of our land is ruled by the law of supply and demand, and tariffs cannot raise it one iota, in fact, they depreciate it as if farmers were able to live and run their farms more cheaply, by a lowering of the tariff on implements, clothes, ete, they would make a bigger income off the same land, which would consequently raise the value of it, as I consider the value of a farm is ruled largely by the income a man expects to make off it.The only exception to this, viz., that tariff does not raise the price of land might be land right close to a manufacturing town, but as land in this category is of very small extent compared to the vast amount that is altogether too far away, I think that it ls the height of folly to penalize ninety- five percent for the benefit of five percent, or possibly only one percent.PROSPERITY'S FOUNDATION STONES.Again, assuming that the tariff is lowered or even wiped right out, does it necessarily follow that all fagtories will be shut up.You would think so from their own statements, that the minute you lower the tariff factories will all shut.All I can say is, after being spoon-fed and pampered for the last thirty years, if they cannot stand a breeze we have wasted an awful {ot of money.If they do not shut up will not the five percent still have these advantages ?I'm very glad to at last run across a statement with which I can agree, viz, \u2018The axiom that the farm is the basis of our national prosperity,\u2019 but I would go farther, and add lumbering, fishing and mining, as they also are at the base of our national prosperity, and if our manufacturers would come out in the open and stand on their own feet, not on the farmer's, lumberman\u2019s, fisherman's afid miner's feet, could thy not claim to be with us at the base ?BRITISH PREFERENCE.Now, as to the preference we asked for for the mother country, does not the latter end of their 1902 Halifax convention resolution forget the beginning ?To my mind it does, and does not this resolution show conclusively that after all their boasted loyalty they do not intend to allow trading with the mother country to ever be free if they can help it ?We farmers do not go strutting around boasting of our loyalty half as much as the manufacturers, but we want to give the mother country an open market which to my mind is a far better proof of our loyalty than jabbering about it.Then they talk about allowing the Americans to exploit our markets.I presume they must mean the Cane- dian manufacturers\u2019 market, as I fail to see any danger of the Americans exploiting the Canadian farmers\u2019 market as we farmers have no monopoly on any market but have to sell our produce in open competition with the rest of the world, and we are not afraid to compete with the rest of the world, only give us a fair show, as we have to sell in our open market, for goodness\u2019 sake let us buy in an open market, and not compel us to contribute to your specializing scheme.We do not ask the manufecturens to tax themselves for our benefit, #0 wsy should they ask us to tax ourselves for their benefit ?Sir Wilfrid Laurier says: \u2018The aim of this government has been not to bring about revolution, but to bring about evolution\u2019 Some of us are thinking thet he has missed his aim, and the gun has kicked back so hard that it has raised the tariff highey than ever, Thanking you for space.C.T.WATKINS.Longvale, Man., Jan.30, 1011.Note.\u2014There is one little flaw in the above cogent letter, but it does not vitiate the rest.In the firet paragraph the 435,000 employees claimed by the manufacturers are assumed to be all men If so, then in the second paragraph, assuming, as our correspondent does, four people to a man this claimed 435,000, would mean just a fifth part to a nicety of the population of eight millions, not g sixteenth part.Assuming the figure claimed to cover, as it really does, men, women and children, then is the wage average less egregious than represented.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE RECIPROCITY PROPOSALS.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Sir\u2014I do not profess to have a thorough knowledge of economic or financial matters, but as an amateur student of psychology, I am forced to believe that the reciprocity proposal must be a meritorious one.When innumerable objections to a plan are brought forward, some of them obviously absurd, others mutually con- «\u2018adictory und inconsistent, the psychologist infers that the real objection is not mentioned, and, moreover, that it is one whicn will not bear much exposure to daylight.During the past week I have made it a point to look over a large number of newspapers printed on both sides of the boundary line, and I think I am safe in asserting that there is hardly a section or industry in either country the immediate and irreparable ruin of which has not been prophe- ing certain customs duties.The American farmer must be ruined from his inability to meet the competition of ths fertile acres of Canada.The Canadian farmer is to be ruined for a multiplicity of reasons, none of which, I regret to say, is set forth with extreme lucidity.For instance, a high official of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association tells us: \u2018Our farmers and wheat growers will become the victims of the same tactics that have been adopted in the US.That is to say, the States will take everything from us and replace it with nothing.\u201d The gentlaman bo- THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS SATURDAY ist pasar comes almost inarticulate in his de- - nunciations, and winds up by confees- ing that he bas had \u2018neither the chance nor inclination to look into these new schedules closely.\u2019 The Canadi cheese-grower is to be ruined for two reasons.In the first place, the Americans won't buy his cheese anyhow; and, eecondly, they will buy it, export it as: American, and thus destroy the fine reputation built up in the markets of the world for Canadian cheese.According to some prophets, the cost of living will rise tremendously, on account of the higher price the farmers will obtain for their products, while others maintain that they will not get as good prices as they do at present.A third class seem to work it out in this way: The Canadian farmer will sell all \u2018the stuff he raises to the Americans for a lower price than he could get at home, and in- evitubly the cost of living here must go up.\u2018But It is too complicated to follow out this argument.Then comes a vice-president of a great railway to warn us that the free admission of Canadian grain into the U.S.means the end of the commercial greatness of Mantreal, for all the wheat will go to Minnéapolls and Chicago, and there will be no more Fast and West hauls.And yet they have been telling us for years about the inherent superiority of the St.Lawrence route to all others.What a lamentable thing if this gloomy vice-president is right, for then we are entirely at the mercy of the Americans.As I understand their Constitution, Congress may remove the import duty on wheat, even without the consent of Parliament.Finally, Col.8am Hughes brings up the overwhelming argument that peace and reciprocity are the same thing.Nothing remains to be said after that.Personally, I think it will make very little difference, except in the removal of considerable friction and annoyance over duties.The only thing seriously affected is farm produce, and already each country exports to the other, according to local conditions.I recall reading of the arrival here in one day last spring of three carloads of eggs from Chicago and Detroit.Yesterday the Montreal and New York quotations in eggs were absolutely identical.Anybody who has had actual experience of living in similarly situated cities on both sides knows that any difference in ihe total cost of living cannot be discerned with the most powerful microscope.No doubt there are excellent arguments against reciprocity, but I am still looking for thom.EM \u2014\u2014\u2014 BRITISH AND ENGLISH THE LANGUAGE.OF THE COUNTRY.(To the Bditor of the \u2018Witness,') Sir,\u2014I have always 1>oked upon the \u2018Witness' as among the most correct in its statements of all the journals of Canada.Long ago I was a contributor to dt, and I have found In its articles of later years the same desire for strict accuracy as 1 knew existed then.I was somewhat surprised, therefore, at your article in your issue of the 30th wlt.,, re the attempt to foist upon the provinces other than Quebec what is to them a foreign language.You make a statement to the effect that there is an equality of status between the English and French languages in Canada.Now, Canada is a British country, dearly purchased by the death of Wolfe, and the English language is the languege of the country.If you turn to the British North America Act you will there see (section 133) that at Confederation the French were given the privilege of having their language used along with\u2019 the English in the ParMament House at Ottawe, in any court established by that act (presumably the Supreme Court) in the Legislature of the Province of Quebec and in the couris of the Province of Quebec.These are all the privileges the French language has, and when heated French-Canadian firebrands make speeches declaring that by the Act of Confederation the English and French languages were placed on a footing of equality, they are saying what 8 not true, knowing it to be untrue, and with the idea that if an untruth be repeated often enough someone will ultimately be induced to believe it.Lest an amateur like myself should be accused of hardihood in thus taking exception to a statement made by an experienced professional journalist, I beg to quote some remarks on the same subject by Mr.Willison, of the Toronto \u2018News,\u2019 a man the accuracy of whose statements you will doubtless not question.He says, referring to an address made by a youth called Lavergne before a ineet- ing of students in Toronto: \u2018It is not true, as Mr.Lavergne contends, that the French language stands on a level with the English in Canada.The official use of the French language is guaranteed in Parllament and in national documents, and in the Province of Quebec.But the guarantees go no further.Nothing could be plainer than the language of the constitution.Section 133 of thea Act of Confederation reads: \u2018 \u201cEtther the English or the French language may he used by any person in the debates of the Houses of Par- lament of Canada, and of the Heuses of the Legislature at Quebec, and both those languages shal] be used In the respective records and journals of ihe houses, and either of those languages may be used by any person or in any pleading or process in or issuing from any court of Canada established under this act, and in or from all or any of the courts of Quebec.The acts of Parliament of Canada and of the Legislature of Quebec shall be printed and published in both these languages.\u201d It ts incorrect therefore to suggast that Freneh enjoys any official right in the schools of Ontario or of the maritime or western provinces.Mr.Lavergne is deliberately misinterpreting the constitution in order to claim something was intended to be conceded.As a matter of fact the rights guaranteed to French-Canadians have been scrupulously respected.\u2019 Now, there wauld be no use whatever in teaching French to the mass of scholars in the schools of Ontario.They live in an English province, forming part of an English contiment, and they would never have any chance of practicing the use of French even if they could get more than a smattering of it at the school, whilst the time taken up in trying to acquire it at school might be much more profitably occupied in learning something ?which would be of use to them in after life, especially in the case of that large class who perforce have to confine their schooling to three or four years at most.You ask how the Enghkish-speaking people of Quebec Province would like it if the Quebec Legislature should pass a parallel ordinance requiring that rench should be the language of edu- ation in all the schools of this province ?It seems rather absurd, this suggesting the possible proscribing of the English language on English soll, but, supposing for argument's sake such a thing could be done, then the English-speaking population would simply have to try and subscribe sufficient funds amongst themselves to have their children just as those Frenchmen have to do \u2018who want their children taught French and who reside in the United States, where the authorities put up with no bluff.And, fafling this, It would always be open to the English jopula- tion of Quebec to sall off their proper- ties there and remove to one of the English-epeaking provinces, where ile which never was conceded, and never.taught English conditions would be moré congenial to them, just as there is nothing to prevent, the French in Ontario from moving to the Province of Quebec if they do not like the laws and customs of Ontario, as they exist.In fact, that fa just what the English-speaking pec- ple of Quebec Province are doing, aud have been for some time past.Look at the Eastern Townships.Where is the once numerous Budtisir poptL.a- tion ?Compare your city of Montreal in this respect with what it was forty or fifty years ago.Take the City of - Quebec, and a look into the Protestant churches will show what an enolmous -exodus has taken place during the same perlod.The St.Andrew's.Che.- mers, and Methodist churcho3 hava had to.remove their zallsvies, having nu longer any people to put in them, and even the ground floors of these churches ars now only three-quarters filled.The Congregational church hes been wiped out of existence altogether, whilst in the Baptist church there are only about a corporal\u2019s guard left.The diminution je similarly marked in the 1 and the other Anglican churches, whilst in the Irish Roman Catholic Church of St.Patrick a similar state of things prevails.The older generation of English-speaking people die off and are buried; their children lesve for one of the British nces.How often we see that old chestnut in the French press, which runs something like this: \u2018We (the French) have treated the Protestant minority in Quebec Province so well in the matter of their separate schools that the Protestant majorities in the English provinces ought to let our race have all their own way there, ought to give us carte Llanche to do as we please in fact.\u2019 Well, in giving us weparate schools they are, for their xwn eonvenience and pleasure, forcing on us a thing we dont want.It is well-known that Protestants would rather have non-de- nominational schools, public schools, where the youth of all beliefs could get secular knowledge together, and learn to know each other.Protestants believe that a Protestant, a Roman Catholic, & Jew, and what not, could sit at the same bench and learn that two and two make four, or that c-a-t spells cat, without any injury to the religious principles of any of them, and then let them be taken in hand by their various churches on the Sab- hath, and at other convenient times, and instructed in the principles of whatever religion they belong to.That is the idea of the vast majority of Protestants, and the religious training of thelr young people is dome in their homes, and in the Sunday-school, and in the churches, and 1 think all will agree that this teaching is so efficient that the youth so brought up are at least as moral as their Roman Catholic contemporaries.But, the policy of the Catholic church is to keep their youth separated from others, to catch them young and bend them to the will and discipline of the church, and 80 they force on us separate schools, a thing we don\u2019t want.But, being in the minority we have to accept; and then the French Roman Catholle majority pat themselves on the back and proclaim their great generosity and indulgence to the minority.What a farce! And \u2018then look at their great generosity in other respects.Is it likely that Quebec province will ever see an English-speaking Lieutenant-Gov- ernor?And yet the Western Provinces have had two or three French Governors forced on them by the Ottawa authorities.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been Premger at Ottawa for a number of years.Would it be possible to have an English-speaking Premier of the Province of Quebec?The only one who ever came near it was Mr.Joly, a French Huguengf, and he was chased from the Premiership because he was a Protestant if the truth were known.We are told pMthiy \u2018that no English- speaking man can be at the head of any public or governmental depant- ment here.Thys, a few.years ago, in thé legisiative buildings, a deputy minister's piace had to be filed.1a gentleman first on turn was passed over because he was an English- speaking Protestant, and a man subordinate to him, a French-Canadiaul, got the place.- If the position of chief of police becomes vacant, though the deputy-chief may be an Irish Cuætho- lic, fitted by knowledge of his business and years of service for promotion, he is left aside, and an outsider who- never was inside a police office in his life, is brought in and made chief, because he is a French-Canadian.The chief officer of the Immigration Bureau here, an Irish Catholic, was a few years ago induced to take his pension against his will, in order that a Frendh-Canadian doctor might be glven his position, and this, although nine-tenths of the immigrants with whom he will have to do are English- speaking.A French-Canadian doctor has replaced an English one also at the Quarantine Station at Grosse 1sie, although not five in a thousand of those he has to examine and prescribe for speak or understand his language, And these two lagt-mentioned appointments came from the Ottawa Government, representing the Dominion, where the British are in a large majority.It is the same in the Post-of- flce and all other departments, whilst it is well-known that the respected collector of customs at this port, Col.Forsyth, is the last English-speaking man who will ever hold that position, even although the commercial and sea-faring men who have business to do with him, are, almost without exception, English-speaking.We Eng- Tsh-speaking people don\u2019t complain of these facts: we think it perhaps natural that the French, in the French province, should grab all they can, and the English don't seek much after government positions anyway; but it is no use blinking these facts; and when we are told how loaded down with generosity we are, it is as well to re- caël them, even if for no other reason than to Warn Ontario not to allow itself to be bulldozed into becoming a French province.The inhabitants of the English- speaking provinces are going to keep their English-speaking officially, although that need mot prevent any of the people speaking French, German, Dutch, Russian, or any other foreign language in their own private families if they so desire.Fortunately it is becoming easier to do thls with every day which passes over our heads, for, with the steady stream of immigration now directed to this country and which will presently fill up Ontario and the Maritime Provinces, as well as the western territory, it will be comparatively easier to counterbalance the abnormal production of children usual in the French families.\u2018What we have we'll hold\u2019 is a good motto, and the English-speaking people of Caneda must take care not to be jockeved out of any portion of their birthright at this juncture by being led into amy ambush or induced ro make foolish agreements which they would find very embarrassing by and by when they proceed to instal the Dominion of Canada, the eldest daughter of the Empire, in fier position as one of the most important units of that Empire.In the Province of Quebec the French-Canadian has all his own way; let him be content with that.The old worn-out argument that because they first discovered the country they have all sorts of rights won't hold water, because, in all differences between nations war is the final arbiter, and the result of a successful war made of Canada.rightly or wrongly, British soil.The other saying, so often trotted out, that the French fought om the British side on two or three occasions and, \u2018as they | claim; saved Canada to Be is alee getting tiresome.If they did take their part in the defence.of Canada why did they dc vo?Simply from seifish mativezs.They knew where eir | ts lay, and that no otaer tion -would guarawtes them religion, etc.It was from no love uf England that they did it.The vast majority of them (with some honorable exceptions, of course) hate England.The proof of it is at hand.What is their principal argument against the Canadian navy but that it may possibly be used to help England in some time of trouble?How is it that the mass of the French, almost to a man, were pro-Boer during the Boer war, if tt were nottthat they hate England ?And remember their strenuous efforts to prevent the despatch of Canadian troops to South Africa, which - was only overcome by the indignant wave of feeling which spontaneously arose from the English-speaking people.Fortunately the provinces have got the entire control of education in their own hands.As Sir John A.Macdonald once said, \u2018We cannot check Manitoba.\u2019 Neither can Ontario or Alberta, or Saskatchewan or British Columbia be checked, and if any boay of the people don\u2019t llke conditions in any of those provinces there 18 no law compelling them to go there, or to remain there.The Province of Quebec is only half populated as yet, and there is plenty of room for many more inhabitants where they can have adi the French teaching and preaching they may want.This letter is already too long, but the Nationalists are telling us every day in their organs, ad nauseam, what they demand, and what we must do, and it is as well that someone from our side should te! them once for all, our view of it.I don't know of any newspaper in the province of Quebec, unless it be your own, that would publish this letter.One would be afraid of losing some subscribers, another would fear the loss of advertising, several would fear the removal from their precincts of fat government jobs, etc.Fortunately, \u2018the \u2018Witness\u2019 has got a name for beige absolutely fearless and straightforward, and is well-known as having no axe to grind.Even you, sir, may not sec fit to publish it.It May be too long, or you may not agree with ïts contents.In that case I shal! send it to an Ontario newspaper, where possibly it may do the most good.The Nationalists have a good deal to say just mow; well, we want to have our say also, and, later on, it is hard to predict what may or may not happen.Continued nagging at a peaceful people sometimes produces unexpected resuits.AN IMPERIALIST.Quebec, Feb.4, 1911.re MORMONISM.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir \u2014I have read with interest the news re the \u2018Mormon invasion\u2019 of Montreal, particularly the \u2018Articles of Faith,\u2019 as contained \u2018in the tracts being distributed, and the letter in your issue of Feb.7 from Elder W, W.Austin.Nothing has been said concerning the status of woman in the Mormon Church, and perhaps a little information on the subject would interest some of the readers of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Women are considered to be inferior to man in every respect, and an unmarried woman is so imperfect a being that if she should die in that state there is no hope of salvation for her soul, and it is consequently irrevocably lost.To guard against such a calamity every woman, at an early age, is \u2018sealed\u2019 to some man, which ceremony has the mysterious power of developing her soul to the extent that if she dies unwed, her soul will be permitted to pass into heaven, which, by the way, is to be located in Jackson County Mission.This information, along with much that has been alrcady printed, particularly that in Elder Austin\u2019s letter, was given the writer by a Mormon of Salt Lake City in an effort to convert him to that religion.He also stated that polygamy was not practiced, but that it was still the belief of the church.The main argument advanced in favor of it is wholly sensual, Among themselves the Mormons are kind and obliging, and willling to aid each other in every possible way; but woe to the Gentile who settles in a Mormon community.Mohammed enjoined his followers to convert the infidel if possible; if not, slay him.The Mormon practice is to convert him if possible; if not, annoy him in every possible way till he leaves the country.A friend of the writer and some companions were passing through a Mormon settlement in Alberta, and became mired on a bad piece of road.There were several men about, but not one offered them any assistance until one of them discovered on the waggon, a \u2018prainie schooner,\u2019 the maker's name, and town in Utah, which they knew to be Monmon, and they at once jumped to the conclusion that the strangers were Mormons like themselves, and they at once rendered them every possible assistance.On several other occasions the maker's name on the waggon secured them needed assistance and kind treatment which they would not have received had they been known to be Gentiles.L.M.KNOWLTON.Feb.6, 1911, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HIGHER CRITICISM.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\") Sir,\u2014In common with many of your readers I have been much interested in the diverse correspondence going on in your columns over the ever-pressing problems presented by the criticiam of the Holy Bible.In my turn I nHw venture to address you, not in the vain expectation of overthrowing ihc so- called Higher Oriticism, but in the reasonable hope of affording some strong consolation to your humble- minded readers, whose hearts are no douibt sorely troubled and confused by the.speculations and unnrived theories of our modern pai'osophers.1.First let me say to them that the Bible is quite safe\u2014as safe as the living Rock of Ages on whom it rests.The whole-hearted believer in our Lord Jesus Christ necd ave no fear of this terrible bogey cf criticism.The Bible itself is vre-eminently A fearless book.It shrinks not from.the most searching investigations \u2018Thy Word ts tried to the uite-must; therefore thy servant loveth it.The bible loves the light, and comes is the light, that it may bé shown wo be of God.It has been in the furnace for centuries, and is Coming out like fine gold.The modern twentieth century furnace is only hastening the refining process.To drop such flgures and to speak in siniplest terms\u2014the Higher Cpiticiam is, wittingly or unwittingly.making it every day more clear that the sacred scriptures are imperishable.2.In spite of critical objections we need not be afraid to rest in our Lord's judgment of the Old Testament.The saintly Bishop of Durham puts this very clear\u2019 in his own beautiful way when.he assures us\u2014 \u201cThat our Lord Himself was pleased to inweave with his whole teaching the pre-zupposition that the Old Testament is a true record, and carries with it the imprimatur of His Father.It is not to be thought he who gave his own Son to be man for our salvation allowed him to think and to teach about the Old Testament, its veracity and its divine authority in direct coitradiction to the facts as under his providence they \u2018had taken shape in the ages before the Incarnation.\u2019 3.We must also humbly inmst (again in epite of objections) upon the marvellous \u2018testimony to the truth of the Bible borne by archasology.Professor Sayce, in the preface to the seventh edition of his well-known book, \u2018The Higher Criticism and the Monuments,\u2019 writes as Tecently as August, 1907: \u2018But while I have been struck with the immense advance in our archaeological knowledge, I have been equally struck with amother fact.Every advance in archaeological knowledge has been in favor of tradition and against the subjective conclusions of the \"Higher Criticism.\u201d In no single case have the so-called \u2018\u2018critical\u201d theori been confirmed; on the con- *trary, wherever they could be tested by arohaeological discovery they have been proved to be groundless.Those of us who are in the forefront of archaeological research in its relation to the Old Testament stand in a very different position from that which we occupied fourteen years ago.- In another half-century Elohigt and Yahvist, \u201cP.and Q,\u201d the Redaotor and all the other automata of the \u2018\u2019Rainbow Bible\u201d will have been relegated by the Old Testament scholar to that limbo of forgetfulness to which the archaeologist has already consigned them.\u2019 These words are the more weighty, as Professor Sayce refuses to ally himself with the Higher Critics or their extreme opponents, resting his entire argument upon facts.Furthermore, the hundred clay tables, covered with inscriptions, just unearthed on the site of the Israelitish capital of Samaria, are believed to form a portion of the archives of King Ahab, a contemporary of the Prophet Elijah, thus pointing to the historical reality of these ancient characters of the Bible story.4.In conclusion, I would express our deep indebtedness to the \u2018believing\u2019 as distinguished from the \u2018destructive\u2019 critics.However mistaken we believe their theories to de, We need not impugn their honesty, nor undervalue the fresh light they have thrown upon the Scriptures.Some day they wil courageously revise their supposed \u2018assured results,\u201d and give fresh glorv to Him, \u2018who taketh the wise in their own craftiness,\u201d and \u2018knoweth the thoughts of man that they are vain.\u2019 .OSBORNE TROOP.St.Martin's Rectory, Montreal, 7th February, 1911.(To the Editor of the \u201cWitness.\u201d 8ir,\u2014Your correspondent, \u2018A Layman,\u2019 thinks those who believe in the integrity of the Bible should devote their energies to proving that their view of the Bible is the true one, rather than to showing the defects of the arguments on the other side.That is hardly a fair claim.The orthodox view, as it may be called, has been the accepted view for thousands of years, regarding, say, the origin of the Pentateuch, which is the key to the whole situation.Take the Bible as it stands, and the traditional view seems satisfactory.But the cry today is, that this view is no longer tenable.And they give as their reason for saying so, that a thorough examination of the Bible, wbich they call a scientific and historical analysis, has shown that the common view is utterly absurd.We are assured that educated people can no longer accept it; that alli the learned have given it up; that it is nothing less than cruel to bring up our children in this old vie.of the Bible, and aiterwards send them to a university.Those who rctain the old view of the origin of the Bible, and they are neither few, nor altogether destitute of common sense or even of learning, examine very carefully these charges as they have a right to do.They also examine the arguments and evidences on which this new view is based.And further, they test and weigh these evidences : s thoroughly as they can, that they may form a reasoncd opinion about them\u2014about their probability or force.This has been done, and is being done.And it would seem to be a very proper course to pursue.And if they conclude that the evidences adduced do not prove the charges, thev say sq as plainly as they can, and quietlyYretain their belief and confidence.Those who retain the old view do so without misgiving or fear, because they fsel so sure that the contentions of the higher critics have not yet touched the foundation of their faith.They say to the advocates of these new views, we do not believe in your new theories; we think your reasoning is defective; your assured facts are not facts at all; and nothing you have yet said discredits the many facts or evidences upon wLich we rely to support our view.But those who stand by the old position do not stop with simply asserting t'eir unshaken conviction.They proceed to show the weakness, as they think, of the arguments presented against the traditional view.And that Is as far as they feel called upon, meantime, to go.For if they can show that the arguments urged against the common view are invalid, it means meantime, no further defence.A layman quotes Prin.Geo.Adam Smith as saying: \u2018Prof.Orr marshalls all the difficulties vf the theory of the higher critics, but he has never done more than that.\u201d But Dr.Orr has done that so effectively as to greatly detract from the force and cogency of their most trusted arguments.In his \u2018Problem of the Old Testament\u2019 he has gone very minutely into the case as the critics present it.He has not satisfied himself with touching lightly upon some of the less effective arguments presented, but he has taken up their assured positions, and he has replied so effectively to them that no serious answer has yet appeared to his reasonings in th.t book.Before any one is justified, therefore, in calling upon Dr.Ofr to present arguments of another sort, it is only reasonable tn expect that the arguments he has already presented will be seriously dealt with.\u2018A Layman,\u2019 refers to some of the objections urged against the Bible.Onc of them is that the chronology of the Book of Kings is found to be in error to the extent of some forty years when compared with the more accurate Assyrian records.But that is no serious difficulty.no historical error, because the books of Kings do no profess to give an accurate chrounolo- gical table.They give the names of the succeeding kings in Judah, and the length of cach reign in years.But no attempt is made to give the exact length of a reign, Intervals or overlappings or p.rts of years are not given because the writer was not aiming at a correct chronalogy, but onlv a correct account of the Davidie dynasty insofar as hix plan required that.Dut nothing is made to depend upon exactness of dates, and consequently no harm is done: and there is no historical error as there is no definite statement of the exact number of years during which the dynasty lasted.Another objection is hased on the assumed defective morality of the Old Testament, Samuel in Killing Agag.and the prevalence of polygamy.The first is a case which many regard as exhibiting unnecessary cruelty, and a degree of fierceness in Samuel altogether un- hecoming to his general character and his office.In such a case it is nat wise to judge according tn our more humane methods of procedure.With us when it becomes necessary to exc- instancing the act of \u2014\u2014 cute a criminal there is n ; haste.A day for the execution su pointed, and every opportunits given the condemned nun to pr.for the awful event.But Along :.ancients very different cust.\u2026, vailed.As Boon as sentence wi.nounced, the criminal was ip, \u2026 i dragged to the place «of .y., |.Our Lord was no saoncr cu: than he was hurried off tu © As there were no official exe \u2026- it was the custom for witues- [I = 1 in that capacity.See Ina 40.\" John viil.,, 7.In the case \u20ac mr © question is this: was he zut, nocent?Had Srul done r \u2014 - in sparing him\u201d Was it interest that the will ¢ be obeyed or disobeyed\u201d refused to execute Ag: there to do it but Sam.Saul\u2019s officers would di hand upon him without 11.der.There is no ind;

point, Jim Rutledge; cover point, Chris.Hope; centre, Harry Greenshields; rover, Arthur Kyle; right wing, Fred.Slater; left wing, John Smith.The return match with this team promises to be very interesting, as both teams are determined to win.The Longueuil team would like to meet teams from any of the district troops, teams to be composed of boys 15 years of age and under.Our hockey hour is from 7 to 8 o'clock on Thursday evenings, and cars from Montreal run past the rink, so that good connections would be possible, and city teams could get back right after the game.Tcams wishing to accept this challenge, please telephone the undersigned at Main 396, when dates could be arranged.Congratulating you on the splendid success your weekly page has attained.I am yours fraternally, HAROLD C.CROSS, W.S.M., 1st Longueuil Troop.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE EKING EDWARD MEMORIAL The Scout Editor, \u2018Witness\u2019: Sir,\u2014The officers and scouts of the Westmount Troops (6th and 7th Montreal) will be only too pleased to subscribe their mite towards a me- did \u2018good turns\u2019 to help people, and not for the sake of reward.Soon they would be men, and must carry Scout spirit into manhood.The Bishop of London had called Montreal \u2018The City of the Holy Mountain.\u2019 Holy meant, whole, healthy.The vigor of mind and body which they gained in their snowshoe tramps on Mount Royal must be carried into the city\u2019s life.The old Scouts, Mal- sonneuve, Dollard, and their companions, had suffered and died for Montreal.The Scouts these days must live for her.They could do nothing better than remember their promise \u2018To be loyal to God and the King, to help other people at all times, and to keep the Scout law.\u2019 If they did this people in the future would look back to them as makers of the \u2018New Montreal.\u2019 CS THE KING AND BOY SCOUTS Gift of £50 to Headquarters Fund.The Duke of Connaught, reports the London \u2018Daily Mail,\u2019 presiding at a dinner at the Hotel Metropole, held in aid of the Headquarters Fund of the Boy Scouts, said the King had directed him to announce a donation of £50 from His Majesty to the fund.The Boy Scouts, said the Duke, were members of an institution which was thoroughly British and fraught with good to the future generation.The aim of the organization was to give the boys a healthy and attractive pastime outdoors and indoors such as really appealed to them, and at the same time developed in them a spirit of manliness and good citizenship.Training was given in resourcefulness, self-reliance, a sense of duty, honor, pluck, amd self-sacrifice.(Cheers.) The movement had received the approval of the heads of all the churches in Great Britain.The movement had now extended to ail parts of the British Empire.In Great Britain alone there were 7,000 officers and over 100,000 scouts enrolled in the association, besides many more in other troops not in the association, who work on similar lines adapted to thelr ideas.In the overseas Dominions there were thousands more belonging to the assoclation, and most foreign countries had also begun to use the scheme, so that the total probably aggregates already 259,000 Boy Scouts.He thought the idea that Sir R.Baden-Powell had in forming the institution was one of the best that had ever been ooncelved in England.(Cheers.) Sir R.Baden-Powell samnounced that the subscriptions received so far amounted to £2,000.It will be encouraging to all thoee who have the interest of the Boy Scouts at heart to know \u2018that King George takes such a kindly interest in our work.I hope that before long the citizens of Montreal will become equally interested, and will help on the organization in every way they cam.We all know what a busy man King George is, but you see he is not too busy to take an interest in our organi- zaton.\u2014Ed.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 A GOOD COMBINATION.Might I remind Montreal Scouts that we hold a bugle and drum practice on Monday evenings at 7.30 in the St.George's School hall, upstairs?Bring your bugle or drum along next week and let's have a big practice, as we can then all learn the same marches.E P 8, XII.M.B.S.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENCE Stanley Cree, London.\u2014It is not true that the scoutmasters of Montreal are taking scouting for a living and working for a holiday, but some of them are very close to it.James McPhearson, Galt.\u2014We are sorry that we cannot tell you the composers of the Galt yells, but we can say they are good ones.J.Hibbert, Montreal.\u2014Certainly, a scoutmaster can start a troop with 4 or b boys.Go ahead; you can soon get the others in.the James Mackay, Ottawa.\u2014Yes, EN The uvfre mon Quest ion tewarr Sr Maurice.[The Editor regrets that the artist of above is shy of receiving his well deserved praises or\u2014something.] morial to perpetuate the memory of our late King Edward VIL Hoping you will have the early cooperation of the rest of the troops of this city.Yours truly, C.8 W.'S.M., 7th Montreal.There!

rush them along, please.John Reeves, Quebec.\u2014Up to the present we have no authentic information with regard to the scoutmasters\u2019 conference, to be held in Toronto.We sincerely hope that the gentlemen interested in the movement in that city will be able to arrangle one at an early date, when we can answer for the full backing of the scoutmasters in this city at any rate.J.Oliver, Vancouver.\u2014It has been found advisable on combined church parades, that cnly the patrol leaders shall carry quarter staves with their patrol flags.However, this is entirely optional.I hope your parade will be a success.Patrol Leader James Watt, St.Johns.\u2014Sorry to hear that your com- missionar has not yet paid you a visit of inspection at your headquarters.\u2018We can sympathize with you.You ars not the only one suffering from the same complaint.Remember, commissioners are busy men.Keith Johns, Toronto.\u2014Certainly, you are not too old to become a scout.We understar:à that the 2nd Toronto troop is the essence of smartness and cfiaiency.Why not call upon the scoumasteyy, Who no doubt will be happy to enroll you.Harry Doyle.Montreal.\u2014We are surprised at your imagining that the band practice plays too important a part in your troop work.Remember.what is worth doing, is worth doing well.Scoutmaster Marchall.\u2014You are evidently laboring under a misapprehension.Warrants for scoutmasters are only issued by the Chief Scout Sir R.Baden-Powell, Send in your application to your commissioner, who will endorse same and forward it to Good Scouts always spend as much of their time as possible out in the open\u2014observing.We Montreal Scouts are exceptionally lucky in having so rhuch to observe\u2014and the object of this letter I am writing you is to open up what I think is à new field of observation.All of you must have noticed the view from the lookout on the mouh- taé{n; most of you remember fleld day refreshments eaten on the spot.Looking south across the river we see several hills rising abruptly out of the plain, and on a very clear day we can see the Adirondack hills in the far distance.The near hills are the ones which Interest us, however, as they look just lke our own Mount Royal.\u2018I wonder how they managed to climb out of the flat country like that!\u2019 is a thought which comes to you at once.Well, they are all volcanoes\u2014St.Bruno, Belle Isle and Mount Royal being the chief ones.Volcanoes are divided into three classes, not tenderfoot, second and first class, but live, intermittent and extinct.Live Volcanoes are always spouting out lava from the interior of the earth.This lava runs down the side of the volcano (just like a river does, only, of course, it moves very slowly), and we use it when cooled as pumice-stone, to clean our hands.So much for live ones; intermittent being those that send out lava only occasionally, we come to extinct vol- canoes\u2014those which, like our mountain, have been quiet for so many years that we say they are dead or extinct.Perhaps you see that I am suggesting as a new study for us o:.our tramps, that of elementary geology.This means the study of the history of the earth, and you will find it very interesting indeed.Tennyson wrote: \u201cThere rolls the deep where grew the tree.O earth, what changes hast thou seen! \u2018There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea.\u2019 This is true of Montreal, know that long ago It was under water.Have you ever noticed how the mountain road curves on its way up the mountain?\u2018Of course;
