It was not organized for mere sentimental purposes, but for practical work, and of this there has Deen no lack.Scarcely had it been well started before appeals were made to it to use ita influence to help oppressed Christians in Russia and Turkey.The first great plea that was made was in behalf of the persecuted Lutheran Christians in Russia, by the eloquent Merle d\u2019Aubigne of Switzerland fifty years ago.Regarding the practical results reached by the Evangelical Alliance may be mentioned the institution of the now \u2018world-wide \u2018week of prayer,\u201d which has proved such a stimulus to the cause of Christian unity, and such a means of spiritual blessing in many lands.What an inspiration to believers it is to feel that for one whole week one is in actual accord with believers throughout the world in thought and prayer, for the coming of the Kingdom of our Lord! Dull must be the heart and cold the love that feel no quickening, no call to earnest intermission.Oh, why can the Church not rise to the faithful imitation of the apostolic church, which spent ten days in waiting upon God, and looking for the promise of the Father; and receive in like manner a mighty baptism of the Holy Ghost, to be followed by like glorious fruits.The \u2018week of prayer\u2019 has been observed for fifty y&ars, at first by members of the Alliance only.But in 1858 missionaries in India desired that it should be \u2018extended to all lands, and .gince that time it has been celebrated the world over.liance has been the holding of international conferences in various large centres of Europe and America, which have been productive of great and lasting benefits.The first of these conferences was held at London, England, in 1851, the year of the first international exhibition.A memorable feature of this conference was a very remarkabla evangelistic effort, the gospel being preached in many tongues to people from many countries in the great metropolis.The second international conference was held at Paris, the capital of a Roman Catholic country, and made a profound impression on the French Emperor.The third conference assembled at Berlin, and it was said to be the most wonderful gathering ever held in Germany.The King of Prussia, and the late Emperor of Germany were among the distinguished personages who attended the meetings.One result of that conference was the Sunday-school movement which has since spread widely in the \u2018Father land.\u2019 The fourth cunference was convened at Geneva, which proved to be of the Swiss Church, and also gave a decided stimulus to the cause of Sabbath observance, which has since made great progress there.The fifth conference was held at Amsterdam, in 1867, which quickened the spiritual life of many in\" the Dutch Church, initiated open air preaching, and ended \u2018with an extraordinary missionary meeting, which numbered twelve thousand people.In 1873 the sixth conference met at New York, which was the orly one of the ten held on this side of the Atlantic.The good influence of that great meeting was deeply felt ada.A seventh conference gathered at Basle, Switzerland, where the spirit of prayer was poured out in a remarkable of the \u2018week of prayer.\u201d The eighth conference took place at Copenhagen in 1884, which was attended by the King and Queen, and other noble personages.It proved a great blessing to the Lutheran Church there.The ninth conference was held at Florence, Italy, in 1891, red cause of Italian evangelization.It is too soon, perhaps, to speak of the fruits of the Jubilee Conference, but we have no doubt they have been important and far-reaching.Who can tabulate the spiritual good which has flowed from those large confer- agency could have been employed which would have produced such beneficial ve- Evangelical Alliance has, thercfore, earned the honor and the right to be regarded as one of the most useful and helpful latter half of this century.3ut this is not all been done in behalf of oppressed Christian people, much of it necessarily in a quiet way, but none the less effective, which does not attract general observation.The Evangelical Alliance has in- 1, .a at Slane i Beem EL APCE Sn Bio i A pa A SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1897.Another feature of the work of the Al-! great value to the evangelical party of throughout the United States and Can- ; manner, and led to a wide extension which gave a strong impulse to the sac- ences!

It had been remarked that many of the buildings demolished to make room for the new station of the Canadian Pacific Railway were a dilapidated loux ; something of that wild ruggedness without grandeur which the author of \u2018Stones of ¥enice\u2019 describes as the essence of the picturesque ; something of that vagu-, yet unmistakable air of antiquity without venerableness resulting from the misguided attempts of architects, carpenters, roofers\u2014in short, the renovators pf the brilding trades-to transform ruined pro- pert: into remnunerative investments at the least possitle vutlay.When a building or an historical monument undergoes such an ordeal, it is usual to speak of it as having been \u2018re:tored\u2019\u2014and everybody kwows what that means.The historical | morument and the publie building are, to some extent, under the protection of an intelligent public opinion ; but in the cose of private property there is no check upon the wrong-headedness of the renovator.He does not even appear to be aware of the existence of the inspectur of buildings.He rejuvenates out-of- plumb facades with fraudulent stucco, tiansforms old-fashioned attics into bewildering mansards, and is never so happy as when he can utilize decrepit woodwork as a backing for a pressed- brick front.These, and many other ruarks of his ingentuity, strew the path he has taken.In his footsteps fol'ows, in due time, the well-meaning but not always logical house-painter.THe house- painter essays to obliterate, to tone down, to modify or soften the wrongdoing of the renovator, and his resources are wonderful.He wields the power to transform into dreamland those familiar highways and byways so dear to the domesticated life of the householder.There is in that magical brush a quarto of song, an Odyssey of foreign travel, a whole summer of rustication ; but \u2018the house-painter can no more blot out the legend of the street as told by the renovator than he can recall the past.And go the once fashionable quarter, now the however, speculators appear to have got possession of the praperty ; or at least of a considerable part of it, and under their skilful manipulation these tumbledown tenements and negiected back- vards suddenly acquired a value that fairly astonished the ratepayers.Of the streets running through the property from east to west, between Craig street and the river, by far the most important was Notre Dame and St.Louis streets, the others\u2014Water, Champ de Mars and Perthius streets\u2014being little & oy Lup RU) used as thoroughfares.Fifty years ago Craig street did not extend further than Campeau (now St.Andre) street.Its then new tunnel, or sewer, which had swallowed up the famous historic Craig street creek, turned abruptly towards the river at a point opposite Lacroix street, and being carried at a great depth under Notre Dame street, distharged the drainage into the river, just above the old Military Hospital, -\u2026- À -great-rshaft\"or man-hole from \u2018the tunnel opened upon Lacroix street | hill, near the corner of Rousseau street; i and through this shaft, with much creaking of winches, a prodigious quantity of oud was scooped up annually or bi-an- | nually from the abysmal depths.It is | perhaps worthy of mention while on this \u2018subject, that the sewer had been tunnelled \u2018or pierced, through the hill, from Craig i street to the river; and as Lacroix street | did not extend as far as Craig street, the | tunnel passed under private property, not i far from the residence of Mr.Terroux, ion Perthius street.A square open | shaft, which served as a receptacle for \u2018dead cats, gave access to the tunnel on ' Craig street; and here after rain, the (rush of the sewer could be distinctly i heard by passers-by.So much for the \u2018civic engineering of those days.As to the streets running north and \u201csouth, both Berri and St.Hubert streets \u201cwere intercepted by St.Louis street; Lacroix street ran as far as Notre Dame | street, from which point it was prolong- led to the river, under the name of Ar- | tillery street.VIGKR GARDEN.What is now Viger Garden, was then known as Guy\u2019s Field.Its most prominent feature was a double row of Lombardy poplars leading to the residence of Mr.Castonguay, on the rising ground to the north.Some portions of the field were marshy, and it served as a pasture \u2014 SEVEN St.Loui site of the new railway station,had fallen into decay.THE DEMOLISHED STREETS.When the land came to be expropriated for the station it was supposed that the cost would not be so enormous as it afterwards turned out to be, because the buildings were of little value.In anticipation of the proposed improvement, ;

a convenient and mnch-frequented playground, a cricket field in summer and a skating rink whenever there was ice there.The cattle market, under the superintendence of Mr.Robillard, was situated where Chenier\u2019s monument now stands.A BUSY CENTRE.At that time the whole site of the railway station extending from Craig street to the river, was the centre of the military life of Montreal.That part ot it which then formed Palhousie square, was still called by our fellow-citizens of French descent, \u2018 La Citadelle,\u2019\u2014the Citadel; and it would appear by old maps to have been an essential part of the fortifications in the early days of the colony.Many interesting reminiscences clustered around the buildings which have been torn down on Dalhousie square, several of these dwellings having served as temporary abodes for high state functionaries and general officers.The square itself, the site of the long since dis- resort.On the west side rose the imposing facade of the Masonic Hall, an elaborate and extensive building of cut stone, owned by Capt.Hayes.It took up the greater part of the west side of the square and ran along Notre Dame street for an equal distance, the lower story being divided off into splendid shops, while the upper part was largely taken up with a grand concert hall.The Theatre Royal formed part of the building, with an entrance on the square and another on Champ de Mars street.On the north, a row of spacious stone houses took up the whole of that side of the square.These were occupied either as private dwellings, military offices or ness rooms.The south side of the square wus taken wp by the barrack-yard fence and the high ochre-washed walls of the Quebec Gate Barrack buildings, whose main entrance opened on Water street, now known as Commissioners street.Ad: joining the Masonic Hall on Notre Dame street, stood the quiet and unobtrusive residence and garden of the Hom Denis \"him terrace, and tenanted by Col.Cod- mantled citadel, was then a fashionable | rs pere dise bY a wn tte Zi === Benjamin Viger, so well known in politics.At the eastern corner of the square | stood the forge of Mr.Bertram, after-| wards Chief of the Fire Department.OLD 8T, LOUIS 8TREET.If any one wbo knew St.Louis street only as it appeared of late years, were told that it had once been a leading thoroughfare in a fa8hionable quarter, the statement might not be accepted without some reserve; yet it would be exact in point of truth.Having spent several years in that locality while a schoolboy living with his father, the writer has a vivid recollection of it as it was at that time, and of many people who resided there.Though some of the houses, since demolished, were new then, there were many others dating from an earlier period, some of which, in fact, were very old.A brief enumeration of the houses on the south side, between Lacroix and Berri streets, would include a long row of cut-stone dwellings with arched Venetian doors and dormer windows, known to the residents in those days as Dur- drington of the Artillery, with his family; Col.Dalrymple, Highlanders; Mrs.Ready, Capt.Steevens and other officers of.the 20th Regiment; and one was rented as the office of the Deputy-Quarter- master-General, with Capt Ready in charge, and Mr.Nicholas Hughes, afterwards Assistant Chief of Police, and who was so well known in sporting circles, as chief clerk.Adjoining Durham terrace stood the cottage where the late Mr.Lafricain, the deservedly popular artist, first saw the light.The family residence of Mr.Smith, the manager ot the Royal Insurance Company, stood opposite Berri street; and a few doors further west, Miss Malcolm carried on a highly successful and well-patronized ladies\u2019 school.AN OLD TERRACE.Forming the corner of Berri street and extending on the north side of St.Louis street towards St.Hubert street, stood the old terrace known as \u2018The Seven Galleries.\u201d These houses were not, at that time, among the newly erected dwellings on St.Louis street; they were already looked upon as venerable, not only on account of their age, but also because of the prestige of past local associations.Nestling under a time- stained roof of garish tin, through which peered the cosiest of dormer windows, they stood as mementoes of an era in Betrams Forge.LACROIX STREET, Artillery Stables, opposite.LOOKING SOUTH.the fashionable life of the city which has not yet faded from the memory of the living generation; they were in fact a half-dingy, half-stylish pile of rubble stone-work looking the worse for wear and tear, yet made presentable by the invigorating and refreshing bluewash of the renovater of the period.Whatever may have been the romance of the old terrace, it had now fallen into the daily routine of ordinary life.The lute did not awaken the sevenfold echoes of its balconies; the only melodramatic villain that crept softly around by Perthius lune was the rag-picker.In fact the daily life of the tenants in no way differed from that of their neighbors; these tenants were, Mrs.Hughes and her daughter, Mrs.T.S.Brown, Mr.Nicholas Hughes and his brother-in-law, Mr.IS.Brown, well known as an active leader in the rebellion of 1837; Mr.John Clarke, a retired chief factor in the Hudson\u2019s Bay service, and the father of Miss Louisa Clarke, the popular vocalist, and who is also mentioned by Washington Irving, in \u2018Astoria,\u2019 as one of the expedition who first crossed the continent and as the gentleman who caused an Indian to be executed for stealing a silver cup, which the unlucky redskin coveted because he supposed it was \u2018great medicine\u2019; Mr.Sedley, chief clerk in the office of the Royal Engineers, and Mrs.Sedley, who was a daughter of the owner of Crysler\u2019s Farm, where the - battle was fought in the last war with the United States; Mr.Tubby, of the British Bank; Lieut.McDonald, adjutant of the 93rd Highlanders; the Misses Nicholls; Mr.Drolet, a lawyer, and Mr.Phelan.Between the \u2018Seven Galleries\u2019 and La- crcix street, where St.Louis street ended, stood several small cottages and a venerable row of two-story cut stone houses, occupied for the most part by officers connected with the military departments or employees.Among these were Col.Walkem, Major Low, Mr.Pel- ton and others.Here also Mrs.Marshall and Miss Brookes kept a scliool for children.Mr.Holmes, of the Purveyor\u2019s Department, lived on the corner of Berri and Craig streets and the grocery on the corner of Berri and St.Louis streets was kept by Mr.Titmarsh.A two-story brick house on the corner of Perthius and St.Hubert streets was occupied by Mr.Fox, with whom lived his son Alfred, who afterward became well known in Boston as the premoter of a gigantic scheme to construct a can- LAGAUCNETIERE = sr ST Wueerr tres pet = ;

and the feasibility of the enterprise was established by the reports of engineers of worldwide reputation, including several who have constructed great public works in Canada.The railway men, on their side, scoured adverse reports and the fight was carried to the lobby of the legislative, where it would probably have resulted in favor of the scheme, despite the millions arraved against it, had not the death of jts promoter intervened.LIGHT AND SHADE.; The davs rolled by pleasantly in St.Lenis street.No one appeared to be in a hurry.Cabs and equipages ghded smoothly over the macadam at all hours; officers in brilliant uniforms walked in measured tread over the footpaths or chatted in groups at the doors, while orderlies paced up and down in front of the military offices and messengers carrying despatches went their rounds untiringly.The policemen, neatly uniformed in blue swallow-tail coats, with silver buttons, had little else to do than terrorize the small boys and cuff the ears of those among them who persisted in spinning tops on the sidewalks.The amusements of the little community were simple.The era ot the Trichord Grand had not yet dawned outside of tlie concert-room; and the open-win- dow recital lay hidden and unrevealed in the bosom of futurity.This gave the military bands a chance to be heard sometimes.Wandering minstrels had recently introduced the banjo, along with most of the jokes known to negro minstrelsy at the present time; and both banjo and jokes had become epidemic.The fiery piano mechanique had not vet Leen invented, so the street urchins had to be content with the Barbary organ and the orthodox monkey.Now and then, the sound of the harp or guitar, harmonizing swezetly with ladies\u2019 voices, was wafted from an open window; and sometimes at the close of a long summer day, the sympathetic tones of a cornet came floating weirdly over the housetops.Captain Steevens was among the skilled performers on that martial yet rleasingly expressive instrument, who could command admiration; and long-tar- rying groups at open doors and windows acknowlgdged his sway.A souvenir of those happy days is now lying on the table before the writer.It is a manuscript of musical charaeters in the handwriting of the gallant officer, and a valued gift from one who had the power to awaken poetical emotion.What pleasing memories are recalled bv a glance at its pages! Verdi and DeBeriot; of Bosisio and Charles d'Albert,\u2014aria and waltz, fantasia and galop,\u2014how often did the wow demolished quarter listen to the sweet music! The vears 1848 and 1849 were years of revolution on the Continent of Europe, famine in Ireland, epidemic fever among the immigrants, and rioting in the eity.These public calamities brought anxiety to many homes, and called forth a self- sacrificing devotion and earnest efforts to alleviate suffering which led to serious thoughts taking the place of social amusements.The sad scenes among the dying immigrants on the wharves, the panic at the fever sheds at Point St.Charles, accentuated by the deaths of clergymen and others who ministered to the wants of the sufferers, cast a gloom over the whole community.Young Mr.Willoughby, nephew of Dr.Willoughby of Christ Church, and a member of his household, was a general favorite with the vouths of St.Louis street; and his absence from the cricket field and from other athletic exercises, on account of his sudden bereavement, brought home to many of his companions, the gravity of the situation.However, as the seasons changed, the causes which had led to these apprehensions were removed; and when at last confidence was fully restored, the easygoing residents of St.Louis street and of the whole of the now demolished quarter, entered upon a period of undisturbed public tranquillity, which was only interrupted by the breaking out of the Crimean War.The withdrawal of the Imperial troops which followed, was a serious blow to the prosperity of that part of the city where the new railway station is being erected; and from that time may be dated its decadence as a residential quarter and centre of military activity.But if the old order of things has disappeared never to return, a greater future, and one of still more extended use\u2019ulness, 1s opening up for the old historie site.The new station with its network nf steel tracks.the huge elevators on the water side, already in active operation, the moving trains of passengers and precious freight, all these vouchsafe the developinent of a vast traffic, and the commenrement of an era of still greater prosperity, not for this interesting locality alone, but for the east end of the city generally.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 It may not be generally known that the X rays provide a sure means of distinguishing between real diamonds and false ones.The real diamond is absolutely transparent to these rays, while the imitations obstruet their passage.In a recent photograph of a hand, on one finger of which was a ring containing a bloodstone, it was found that the bone of the finger and the lower part of the ring were visible through the setting, which appeared to be empty.This result is the more surprising in view of the fact that clear glass is almost absolutely opaque to the rays.LITERARY REVIEW.THE INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF A SCEPTIC.The controversy which was conscientiously raised over the elevation of Dr.Temple to the See of Canterbury because he was a confessed believer in evolution, brings to the front the question whether that prevailing view of science is compatible with the Christian religion.This is in broad lines the question dealt with in the remarkable little book into which the \u2018Thoughts on Religion\u2019 of Professor John George Romanes of Oxford were gathered by his friend Canon Gere and posthumously published, and of which a third edition has just been ie- sued by the Open Court Publishing Com- puny of Chicago.Romanes was an ardent evolutionist and early in life discarded the Christian religion as inconsistent with the conclusions of science.Advancing years brought wiser thoughts and before he passed away in 1594 he had returned to his former faith, dying Echoes of in the communion of the Church.This little volume gives with the necessary explanations the outline of a w ork which he was preparing for publication at the time of his death in order to vindicate his new position.Since its first appearance it has come out that his changed spiritual attitude was not wholly due to his independent study of the problem as to the relation between religion and science, but largely to the personal influence of a man whom he had never seen, the Rev.John T.Gulick, a missionary in Hawaii, and afterwards in Japan.Mr.Gulick was himself a scientific investigator and earned Romanes\u2019s unbounded admiration as a contributor to \u2018Nature\u2019 How far Gulick\u2019s reasons for his faith convinced Romanes we do not know.Probably he was influenced, as is usually the case, more by the character of the man than by the cogency of his argument.But having been led to change his attitude he felt under the necessity of justifying his new position to himself and to the world.It is a matter for deep regret that he was not spared to complete this work, but imperfect as it is it cannot fail to exercise a permanent influence on both scientific and religious thought.His points are rrexhaps not altogether new, but they are presented with a simplicity that makes them very readable and an obvi- cus sincerity that renders them interesting as the intellectual history of a sceptic.He first clears the way for faith.The long standing antagonism between sci- \u2018| producing it, and vice versa.erce and religion he regards as due main- Ly to the erroneous theory of causation, which has been accepted alike by scientists and theologians.They have both treated physical antecedents as real causes, so that when these could be assigned for any result it left no room for God as having any direct share in Hvolution, for example, and divine creation, have Hocen considered as mutually exclusive.This theory of natural causes he treats as an unwarranted assumption.The one set of causes does not exclude the other.The discovery of natural laws with which alone science is concerned, leaves the real cause as much a mystery as before.And as the only real cause of which we have any direct experimental knowledge is man\u2019s own will power, it suggests the possibility, that the real cause of all things in the universe is also the will power of an infinite personal being, that is, of God.Natural laws are simply the conditions under which God\u2019s power is exerted.Science, indeed, cannot prove this true but neither can it disprove it.And pure scientific agnosticism has no right to shut out evidence from any other source.The only question is whether there is any other evidence outside of science for the existence of a personal God as the ultimate cause of all.Romanes thinks there is.He does indeed, believe there is any argu- which not, ment for the existence of God, will compel the reason or that any evidence is possible which will absolutely convince.unbelievers.He even regards it as undesirable that there should be any such evidence, since man is here on his probation.But he insists that there is direct evidence sufficient to eonvince any one who is in the proper moral condition to estimate it.He plants him- gelf squarely on the scriptural prideiple that \u2018if any man is willing to do His will he shall know of the doctrine\u2019 Faith and obedience are as essential to clear- ress of vision in this region as a well disciplined reasoning faculty in mathematics or natural science.Only those who have these qualifications can see (God.Those who have sought te comply with the conditions seldom if ever fail to 1ecognize Him in the world.If j others fail, the fault is wholly their own, and their failure in no wise discredits the fact.If any large section of the race were to declare they saw flames issuing from magnets there would be no doubt as to their objective reality.The witnesses who have had the vision of Ged, are too numerous and too eminent to\u2019 be set aside on any theory of illusion.The strongest testimony comes from these who have dome most for the moral and spiritual elevation of mankind.Furthermore, experience shows that there is a vacuum in the soul of man.which nothing can fill save faith in God.The believer alone has abiding happiness.The significance of these facts cannot be overlooked if life has any meaning.The knowledge that comes from reason is a good thing, but practically far mdre important is that which comes through faith: The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one; Yet the light of the whole world dies With the setting sun.The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one; Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done.The concluding part of the essay deals with Christianity as the only form of theism to be taken inte account.It is too fragmentary to enable one fairly to estimate its value.Dut those who bave followed his thought up to that point will have little difficulty with the further problems which Christianity Here as everywhere it is the first step which costs.The special service which Romanes\u2019's book may render the earnest enquirer is in helping him to take that first step.raises.A HISTORY OF TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.\u2018Fifty years of Europe, Tennyson thought better \u2018 than a cycle of Cathay.\u2019 Half of that time in the United States cannot be without its interest to the world and to the next door neighbor, Canada.Many who have a vague idea of the events which have occurred within their own memory, would find much entertainment and probably some occasion for surprise in reading a consecutive account of them.\u2018The Last Quarter-Cen- tury in the United States,\u201d (Scribners), by IE.Benjamin Andrews, president of Brown University, is a large work in two yolumes, profusely illustrated: With portraits of most of the important, people \u2018mentioned, and some interesting pictures of historic scenes.The history is necessarily somewhat tentative in form.As the author says, \u2018 None of the sources for our most recent history have as vet been sifted.A writer treating of affairs so uncertainly vouched must keep in tense exercise a form of discretion, which in better trodden fields predecessors have made unnecessary.Perhaps no man can judge his contemporaries without a degree of prejudice.\u2019 The preliminary view of the United States in 1870 indicates the historical starting point.In 1870 the United States covered the same tract of the globe's surface as now, amounting to four million square miles.Hardly more than a fifth of this represented the United States of 1789.Except certain well peopled sections on the Pacific slope, and, small civilized strips in Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, the great West had but a tenuous white population.Over immense rebions it was still an Indian fastness, rejoicing in a reputation which few could verify for rare scenery, fertile valleys, rich mines and a delightful climate.« w.« Much of Western Pennsylvania was in the condition of the newest States, railways building as never before, population increasing at a remarkable rate and industries developing on every hand.Petroleum which before the civil war had been skimmed off the streams of the oil region and sold for medicine, in 1870 developed a yield of over five and a half million gallons in Pennsylvania alone, more than eleven times as much as a decade previous.The West was rapidly recruiting itself from the, East, the city from the country.Between 1790 and 1860 our urban population had increased from one in thirty to one in six; in 1870 more than one in five dwelt in cities.The Chicago tire and the exposure of the Tweed ring in New York, were the first important events in this perisd.The work of re-establishing the federal union which the rebellion of the Southern States had thrown into temporary confusion, was not completed till 1871.The Ku Klux Klan used a* there are great qualities in It Seas\u2019\u2019) as a whole, and that it ENE two or three great poems, \u2018\u2018McAn-

determined and ambitious effort, a caret:1 study to appear careless, a premeditated tmprovisation.\u2019 The London \u2018Spectator\u2019 finds the \u2018Bar- rack-Room Ballads,\u201d which take up about two-fifths of the volume, \u2018full of dusty and repulsive detail,\u201d with \u2018only the faintest ring even of that finer scorn which saves Mr.Kipling\u2019s ballads from utter shabbiness and squalor.\u201d It quotes the following as a \u2018specimen of the worst type of the ballads in the book: 'Th-o:zh the Plagues of Bryp' vas rhasin\u2019 Arabtf, Gett!n° down an\u2019 shovin\u2019

he is responsible for the plain report of his own candid sight of things.Such an erect attitude as some men have taken in the face of outer nature, confessing the whole truth, not complaining, not exaggerating professors of neither optimism nor pessimism, dwelling in no fool's paradise, not desperate, not foolishly cheerful, courageous, without illusion, without ill-temper, thinkers of the thought that comes by observation\u2014that is Mr.Kipling's position and that his character, not merely in face of nature, of seasons, of vegetation, tempests, hunting, prey, ana death in the woods, but in face of men and money, commerce, war, slang, violence, wayfaring, and the exploitation of the round world.He is serious in the only sense that he would consider worthy of practice, of respect and of attention; he is truthful, simple, and a confessor of the actual.A little paltering with things as they are not, and he would immediately lose the seriousness that is the very cause of his work.\u2019 It quotes the following fine lines from the \u2018Rime of the Three Sailors,\u201d which it terms \u2018magnificent\u2019: ! \u2018The great man-seal haul back to the sea, and no man knows their path.Then dark they lle and stark they lie\u2014 rookery, dune, and floe, And the Northern Lights come down o\u2019 nights to dance with the houseless snow;

IV.\u2014(Continued.) \u2018Shortly after this, men with boring mpparatus such as was used in prospecting for coal were sent to the island.A platform was rigged in the first or \u201cmoney pit\u201d thirty feet below the surface of the ground, and just above the water.Wait now a minute, boys, and I will read you a verbatim report of the statement of the manager whe: the boring began :\u2014 \u2018The platform was struck at 98 feet, just as the old diggers had found it when sounding with the iron bar.After going through this platform.which was five inches thick, and proved to be spruce, the augur dropped twelve inches and then went through four inches of oak.| Then it went through twenty-two inches | of metal in pieces, but the augur failed; to take any of it in except three links! resembling an ancient watch-chain.It! then went through eight inches of oak, which was supposed to be the bottom of the tirst box and top of the next ; then twenty-two inches of metal, the same as before, then four inches of oak and six of spruce, then into clay seven feet without striking anything else.At the next boring the platform was struck, as before, at ninety-eight feet.Passing through this, the augur fell about eighteen inches, and came in contact with what was supposed to be the side of a cask.The flat chisel revolving close to the side of the cask gave it a jerky and irregular motion.On withdrawing the ' augur several splinters of oak, such as might come from the side of an oak stave, and a small quantity of a brown fibrous substance closely resembling the husk of a cocoanut, were brought up.The distance between the upper and lower platforms was found to he six feet.\u2019 \u2018Pretty warm, that, eh,\u201d remarked the captain, as he laid the pamphlet aside and resumed his tale.\u2018Well, in 1850 a new pit was dug to the west of the \u2018money pit,\u201d and about ten feet from it.This was a hundred and nine feet deep.A tunnel was driven from this pit in the direction of the money pit, but just before reaching it the water burst in on the workmen and put them to flight.An attempt was made by mr \u2019 aoe At 2 Pil 10 fée 8 og - .A - ; 75 - - J.Is.- £

water in the pit was salt and rose and tell with the tide.They corcluded that there must be a channel connecting the pits and the shore, and the theory of an artificial tunnel having an outlet on the shore was adopted.They thougnt it very unlikely that the sait water came in through a natural channel for then the original diggers (svpposed te have been pirates) would have struck it, which evidently had not been the case, for they would never have had time to pince their platforms and marks so carefully.\u2018A searcn for the outlet of the underground channel soon resulted in its discovery at Smith's Cove at the extreme case of the island about thirty rods away from the money pit.A cofferdam was built on the shore to enable the workmen to locate the supposed tunnel, but a high tide carried it away.The plan was now forme:! of damming vp the tun- rel and a pit (No.4) was dug over its stpposed course, hut failed to strike it.Anather pit (No.5) was sunk to a depth of thirty-five feet, and on prying up a large botlder, a rush of water followed which was too strong to dam and this plan had to be dropped.\u2018Shortly -after this another pit (No.6) was dug near the money pit, and a tune! was driven from it under the merev pit, While the workmen were at dinner one «dav a erash was heard, and rushing to the works thev found that the hottem of the money pit had

night in the starlit attic, and when he fell asleep it was to dream that he was being dosed with \u2018Oak Bitters,\u201d while Captain Kidd held his head and his black mate, Bomba, held his feet.Before he went to sleep, however, he had devised a scheme for the recovery of the treasure, which he eagerly waited to put into execution on the MOrrow.AN ADVENTURE ON THE WATER.Saturday morning dawned bright and fine\u2014a clear, crisp summer day, with just a touch of fall in the air, a rattling breeze for failing, and a hot sun, in every way an ideal picnic morning.Our party started from Summer Island at nine in the morning, in Joshua Smeltzer\u2019s cnm- modious new yacht.It was the first trip of the \u2018 Sparkle,\u2019 and she must have more than satisfied the expectations of her builder and owner, who were both aboard, as she walked along at a bounding pace, with her leeward wash-board buried in the yeasty surges.With Oak Island well in sight over the port bow, and the minds of her crew filled with pleasant anticipations of a good lunch and run ashore to stretch their legs, the \u2018Sparkle\u2019 is bounding along at a fine rate with quite \u2018a bone in her mouth.\u2019 The wind is over her quarter, and Harold Mason, who is teyg- porarily in charge of the tiller while his father is studying the chart, is standing well to windward of the point of the island that must be doubled in order to enter the anchorage cove, when a sudden grinding noise, followed by a dull scraping and a rapid loss of headway, brings every one aboard the yacht to their feet.The yacht was aground, and that too with a stiff breeze and a falling tide.Nothing but the strength of her brand new rigging saved the spar from going by the hoard.Before the yacht had well stopped, the girls and women were in the skitl that was towing astern.The women folk having been landed in safety with a basket of provisions, the boys returned to the wreck, where a scene of confusion greeted their eyus.The mainsail had been cut free from boom and gaff and was lying in folds over everything.The halvards and run: OAK ISLAND DIGGINGS.ning gear were scattered over the deck in disorderly- tangles or flying in the wind.The tide was falling, and whatever was to be done, must be done quickly.The first plan for the dislodging of the yacht, was to carry an anchor out astern and haul on a line attached thereto, while the largest of the boys standing waist-deep in the water under the bows, eased her off the rocks.The * Sparkle\u2019 was too firmly stuck, however, to be freed so easily, and this scheme The crew of the end, and matters were beginning to look serious, for the chart showed that the shoal on which they were stuck stood above water at low tide, and there was danger of the yacht careening over and filling.They were anxiously discussing plans for their release, when the timely arrival of a couple of fishing boats from the mainland inspired them with fresh hope.All hands now set to work removing the ballast, which was placed in one of the large fishing boats.Harold\u2019s heart was gladdened when one of the relief crew remarked of him:\u2014\u2018 Dat fellow handles de \u201cpigs\u201d as though he was used to de work.\u2019 The removal of the heavy junks of pig iron lightened the yacht very considerably.Setting to work with the help of their friends from the shore and under Captain Mason\u2019s directions, they now began, by using the boom as a lever, to rig with two blocks a \u2018 Samson tackle,\u2019 as the western shoresmen called it.With some of their force on this tagkle and as many as could be spared hauling on the stern line, while Tom stood by the mast, round which a turn had been talen in the hauling lines to take in slack, the wrecked mariners made another tug for freedom.For some time visit the island should see Kidd's trea- {it seemed that cven with all these helps sure uncarthed.Schooner and hoat- loads or people gathered from all direc- tics and the -pectators breathlessly awaited the disclosure of the Dlood-got- ten hrara.AIN day long they patiently waited, but as the sunset hour drew near their strained attention was relieved hy the prosaic remark of an old German, who viewed the works, * De deeper dey dig de deeper de ting sinks.\u201d | A shout of laughter irom the crowd did they would not

redoubled energy, it was not long before they had the exquisite pleasure of seeing .the \u2018Sparkle\u2019 glide free of the shoal, when the stiff breeze blowing rapidly carried her to leeward.Though free of the reef they were .THE MONTREAL ae DAILY WITNESS.THE FATE OF TWO SATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1897.MISCHIEVOUS BOYS.still in shallow water.The bottom was in sight all around and they were in momentary fear of striking on one or other of the big boulders that seemed to rush beneath their keel.But the stern line held fast and before long the yacht was riding free in six fathoms of water.Then began the work of refitting the dismantled yacht.Lucky it proved that the builder and rigger was aboard.He knew where the place of everything was, and in a short time the \u2018Sparkle\u2019 was again as good as new, with only a}.few muddy bootmarks on the creamy expanse of her new mainsail to tell the story of the accident.OLD SAM'S HEIR-LOOM.When: they went ashore at Marsh Island it was four o'clock, but they decided to carry out their morning's plan of visiting the ' Mason suggested they might remain fof island\u2014where Captaim-fparchment.permission Harold carried to his father, : ob dat ar gimcrackle,\u201d cried the old man, as Harold fingered it over, dat ting has been in de family foh long, long years, an sorry would old Sammy be if any trubble should come to it.Hear dat ting inside, dat\u2019s de yolk all dried up, an ain't it carved most powerful handsum ?\u2019 Scarcely had he finished speaking when a crash was heard and the beautiful shell lay in pieces on the floor.Harold\u2019s hard luck was still following him.\u2018Why, what\u2019s this ?\u2019 cried Will, as he stooped to pick up the scattered pieces.! \u2018This is no dried yolk,\u2019 and he held up| in his hand a little round package, care- sealed.A careful examination of their find showed the\u2018 package to contain a chart executed on thin but extremely tough This, the night.: withaving first consoled Sam for the loss of \u2018All the better,\u2019 Harold remarked td Will Selig, {for our plan.\u201d He had com municated the scheme he had formed to his chum and they were both bulk bling over with impatience and importance.'I'hat evening they were all comfortably seated in the clean bright kitchen in the cottage of Sam Ball, a colored man, who lived just back of the \u2018diggings.\u2019 The evening before when his father had.told him that a colored family lived on the island, Harold's active brain had seized the end of a clue, and it was in the firm belief that he had unravelled the mystery of the Oak Island treasure that he fell asleep that night.\u2018Surely,\u2019 thought he, \u2018when darkies are so very.scarce in Lunenburg County the.fact \u2018that a darky family have always lived on Oak Island must mean something,\u2019 and the presence of the black pirate slave Bomba\u2014in his dreams sufficiently indicates the trend of his reflections after that.As he now looked at Sam Ball he nudged his friend, Will, and whispered in his ear: \u2018Billy, I was right.Why, you can see it in that chap\u2019s face that there is savage blood in his veins.\u201d Before he went to bed that evening he had a long quiet talk with Sam, and from him elicited the information that \u2018Dar uthed ter be a thtory in de family dat one ob my antecessors had somefin te do wid dat bad old captin.But you know,\" sonny, dat spectable connection, and we been done all dat we could ter stop de moufs of - dose lyin wite trash wen dey started such talk.A pusson\u2019s got ter get a lilbin an if sech stories keeps folks from tradin wid us, why den we deny dem.\u201cConsequences, consecution.\u201d\u2019 The boys wondered what the meaning of the last remark might be, but found on enquiry that it was \u2018a favorite form of: words with the old man when he wished to be particularly impressive.\u2018Now, Will, said Harold, when they were along, \u2018here\u2019s my plan.Let's get old Sam\u2019s consent to rummage all over his house, which looks like a mighty old one, and see if we don\u2019t find some traces or secret plans or marks of that old black man, Bomba, Kidd's righthand man.Why, it stands to reason, that the pirates would leave some written directions about the finding of the money, and if old Sam Ball is not a lineal descendant of old black Bomba £ am much mistaken.\u2019 Having got Balls consent to the search, on promise of a fine new gail- boat if anything worth finding was discovered, the boys set to work.Long and carefully did they hunt, but all in vain.Sam\u2019s abode was so severely plain that there were few \u2018hide-holes\u2019 in the- whole house.To tear down the dwelling was manifestly out of the question, and.the boys were on the point of abandoning the search wher a lucky accident happened.Harold had paused in his eager rarsacking of the premises, and was standing looking at a curiously carved epg shell, one of the few ornaments of \u2018once.i it warn\u2019t no |* the little parlor, when old Sam entered the room., paper and when it is cut and packed his egg by a gift of a handful of silver.The eaptain\u2019s amazement at the find the \u2018bovs had made knew no bounds.He had always been sceptical about the existence of a hidden treasure, and the boys had *thérefore avoided the risk of | ridicule by concealing from him their | plans.Even now his good sense pre- | vailed over the excited appeals of the | Jade, who were eager to begin work at \u2018No, my lads,\u201d he replied, to Harold\u2019s : excited entreaties, \u2018let me look after this | business.Now vou go and help them | get the things down to the boat for we must be off.\u2019 .A few weeks 'ater an offer came from Captain Mason to the office of the trea- | sure company in Boston.to impart to them valuable information at a fair recompense.Ten thousand dollars was not thought too high a price for the chart, the news of the discovery of which at once put the company\u2019s stock at such a premium as to more than reimburse them.The money was equally divided between the lads, and both Harold and Will afterwards redivided their portion.It was enough to \u2018afford Will his long wished for course at Cornell, and the rest of the boys spent their shares in ar.equally sensible manner.(The End.) {For the \u2018 Boys\u2019 Page.\u201d Pretty Work: HOW TO MAKE AND TO USE BLUE PRINT PAPER.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Boys\u2019 Page\u201d) Sir, \u2014I would like to suggest that all of the readers of the \u2018 Boys\u2019 Page\u2019 who can, should contribute something towards making it instructive and interesting, such as short stories, sketches of animals, birds, etc., and descriptions for making puzzles, instructive toys or articles, etc.I would be very glad to sce the following appear in the \u2018 Pbys\u2019 Page.It is a way of making and using a blue print paper.It can be used to make reproductions of -pictures if they are on thin paper, leaves and pressed flowers, lace and many other things.FIRST THE PAPER.The paper is made by spreading over its surface, with a sponge or brush, the preparation composed of the following: \u2014 a Ammoniacal citrate of iron .2 ozs.Distilled water .5 ols b\u2014 Red Prussiate potash .2 0zB.Distilled water .D 0z8.Mix equal parts of a and b when ready to use.It is best to keep the two preparations separate till ready to be used, as it will give better results and keep indefinitely; also, be sure to keep both the preparation and the paper in a dark place, when mixing and preparing the \u2018Oh, Mars Mason, be mighty careful | fully covered with tinfoil and securely | with Sam\u2019s ready , away.Almost any kind of white, heavy : paper will do.{ After applying the preparation, the pa- ' per will be yellow-green in color.Now - put it to dry in a dark place, with noth- i ig touching the damp side of the paper, and let it dry for about twenty-four hours.By that time the paper will be colored blue, if enough of the preparation was put on it.Then cut it up in pieces of the required size, and pack i away till it is ready to be used.It is better not to make too much at one time | as it will give better results when fresh.THEN THE FRAME.Now you are ready to use the paper, but first you must have a frame to print with.If you have not one already, get a i piece of clean, thin glass, of the same «ize \u2018as you have cut your paper.Then get i two pieces of thin, stiff wood, about 3-16 \u2018 of an inch in thickness, or two pieces of \u2019 very strong cardboard, each half of the size of the piece of glass.Now, suppose .you want to make a reproduction of a .leaf; you first place the-leaf on the glass, : then the paper, prepared side down, and \u201cthen the two pieces of Wood, which will answer the purpose much better if they have a piece of woollen cloth gummed on one side.To hold them firmly down on the glass, get four spring clothespins or paper clips, one for each side of the two pieces of wood.If you cannot get the clips, you must exercise your ingenuity to make something to replace them.LAST, THE PROCESS AND PRETTY RESULTS.Place the frame in the sunlight so that the light will pass through the glass to the paper.Leave the frame in the light for seven or eight minutes, then undo one side of the frame, by taking off two of the clips and one piece of wood, and bend back the blue print.If the leaf is clearly defined on the paper and the paper is a nice grey in color, it is done enough; but if the sunlight was not strong enough and the leaf is not clearly defined, then put the clips and the wood on again and sun the picture some more.After a little experience you will know when it is done.When the picture is printed enough, place it in a basin of clear water and shake and change the water occasionally.The picture will almost disappear; then in a few minutes it will show clear and white on a beautiful blue background.Put if in a good place to dry, and it is done.Much pleasurable amusement may be derived from the above at a very trifling cost.Chemicals can he procured from any drug store for a few cents and they will last a very long time.By saving reproductions of leaves and flowers, you will have a very interesting collection, and they will be more accurate in detail than the finest picture in any book.A ~~ ADVERTISEMENTS.Quackery 1s always aiscov- ering remedies which will act upon the germs of disease directly and kill them.But no discovery has ever yet been approved by doctors which will cure consumption that way.Germs can only be killed by making the body strong enough to overcome them, and the early use of such a remedy as Scott\u2019s Emulsion is one of the helps.In the daily warfare man keeps up, he wine best, who is provided with the needed strength, such as Scott\u2019s Emulsion supplies.good thing to do would be to make a scrap-book of them.They may be used to illustrate lessons in botany also.FRANK WILLIAMS, Jacksonville, Florida, Jan.8, 1897.ADVERTISEMENTS.Nothing to complain of \u2014women who use Pearline.Nothing in the washing and cleaning line,

\u2018HOME WORK: In choosing work for self support it is most desirable that a young woman shou'd chocse that for whicl: she is, bv nature best fitted.What thorough scientific training has done for

parent to the teacher showing how promptly and thoroughly the work had been done a happy co-operation between home and school would be established.Such an education of our daughters would in many cases do away with the need of outside help.They would have the worthy ambition to become true \u2018\u2019mother\u2019s help\u2019 nd choose the freedom and happiness of their own home rather than compete with men Who need, situations to supply the needs of their À milies.A.L.C.M.\u2018LET'S AGREE TO PUT UP WITH EACH OTHER.\u2019 \u2018Hewever have you managed to keen Mary O'Brien with you so leng?For answer I took her to Mary, who re- Flied, had not put up with me many a time its a new place I might have been lonking for oftener!\u2019 \u2018Now, Mary,\u201d I said, \u2018I will not have you talking like that.for I can candidly tay if yc\u2019i had not put up with me as you have done I might have been found at the intelligence office looking for help much oftener.\u2019 * Then, by that same token, let's agree right here to put up with each other till the good Lord takes us to himself.\u2019 J.B.SOUR PLACE IN GOD'S ARISTOCRACY.Ian Maclaren\u2019 says: \u2018Do you know that your place and my place in God's aristo- tecracy depends not upon the number who serve us, Lut upon the number whom we serve.\u2019 .Let your servant have Fart of each day to herself to do as she pleases.In a refined home it wculd not be an easy nor a pleasant thing for a girl to come from the kitchen, wher she has been busy all morning and sit down at the table with the master of the The mistress Is only queen in her own home; both in \u2018the Church and the world she must meet with her sure- riors both intellectually and socially.B.C.NOT SO HARD AS SHOP WORK.Housework is not so hard as shop work.A person doing shop work must keep busy every minute while a person at house work can take a few minutes when her work is done.A girl who is getting a dollar a week besides her board and time to do her own sewing and washing and ironing is making mure money than the average shop girl.and will kave more time for reading and pleasure.If girls are not treated well In nine cases out of ten it is their own fault, or the fault of their training.PALON A.OVERSIGHT.Until the mistress recognizes her servant as a co-laborer in the great field of human industry and the servant regards her mistress in the same light there will be occasional strifes and misunderstandines.The faithful servant has no cause to fear oversight and the mistress dare not ne- gleer it.The labor of a servant should be recompensed in proportion as it increases In value.4 \u201cIndade, if the dear crature thore : EACH DEPENDENT ON THE OTHER.If the task assigned each day is faithfully performed in shorter time than you allowed then let the help use the rest of the time for her own benefit.The mistress is no more independent than the maid.The one needs the muscular help, the other needs the financial help.WINGLESS.IF MEN HAD TO KEEP HOUSE.It requires a certain amount of training to enable one to cook a good dinner or properly clean and purify a room, and when men realize this they will find some way to give servants the necessary training.Indeed, if men had had to keep house it would have been done long ago, for their patience would not have lasted till now.But the work has always fallen on women and their hands in a great measure are Co.While the girl earning her living fn store, shop or office lays great stress on the light work, and the free evenings, she forgets that if the work is light it may be very trygg, too, and if there is more liberty after hours there is less during the day.M.L.R.EVENINGS TO THEMSELVES.* Girls should have their evenings to themselves, and I am sure if they could have one half as pleasant a time at home as they have when they go out they would be only too glad to stay in.MARGUERITE McMILLAN, _\u2014 .( | NOT THE WORK BUT HOW IT IS DONE.I would recommend as a remedy a closer acquaintance with the Word of God so that each may see in clearer light the duties belonging to every one in their several places and relations.- A girl never lowers herself in doing anything required in faithful, loving service.She may by the manner in whfch it is done.I would urge on a girl that her ambition be that none shall excel her.AUNT JOSEPHA.ENNOBLE YOUR OCCUPATION.Does it ever dawn on the servant that she can ennoble her occupation; that self-re- spect, honor and industry can be cultivated in any position, and shine far more con- © spicuously in the humbler than in the higher places of existence.If an equal division of the dignities and riches of this world were made to-morrow some of us the day after would through imprudence -or incapacity forfeit our share.\u2018Honor and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honor lies.Fortune in men has some small difference made, One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade: The cobbler aproned and the parson gowned, The friar hooded and the monarch crowned; What difference more, you cry, than crown and cowl?I'll tell you, friend, a wise man and a fool.\u2019 BLUE BELLA GOOD MISTRESS\u2014A GOOD SERVANT.\u2018A good mistress makes a good servant\u2019 used to be the rule, and why not now?ENDEAVOR.NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN IT.Housework will never be as remunerative as nursing, which fact goes a long way towards making any calling respectable, look at it as we will.Although the major- #ty of women hail with gladness the fact that the closing deeade of the ninetenth century has opened many avenuos to woman whereby she can earn a living for herself, yet it is this very trulsm that has made the present class of domestics, with few cxceptions, of an Inferior type, both in principle and ability, the majority of whom would not appreciate educational advantages if placed in their way.If ladles who can afford it would just seek the respectable girl I have mentioned in the first of this article and offer her the pay she could get in Boston or New York they would soon be provided with good domestics; the feeling in regard te equality would disappear, and the exodus to the neighboring republic would be a thing of the past, and the domestic kitchen would again be like the ones we can remember our mothers having when we were children and when we never heard the older ones ask, \u2018How would you solve the servant question?\u2019 MORE IMPORTANT THAN STUDY OF MUSIC, Give every girl practical lessons in housekeeping.They would be much more valuable to many than even music for which she has no special talent.Practical housekeepers can never become the victims of incompetent servants.LOUILA.WOULD PAY FOR GOOD WORK IF THEY COULD GET IT.At this present moment are there not KATHLEEN.mothers well able to pay for faithful ser- ¢ ® Bald 2 YC vIn AO) FN Es 200 OIC A on OO Ar BEET ie () OO) XH vice if they could get it who do their own work at the expense of their children's training in preference to being continually annoyed by servants?.How many servants have been trained to do their work in the right way?MISTLETOE.WAS YOUNG ONCE HERSELF.There fs generally a great deal of talk about the girl with followers.But let the mistress remember that she was once a young girl herself and that a certain young man used to visit her.In a case of this kind she should treat her servant as she would wish to be treated herself.ASTREA.MERE DRUDGES AND CONTENT TO REMAIN SUCH.The position that many servants occupy to-day is, I believe, mainly their own fault.Too many of them are mere drudges, and what is more lamentable, are content to remain such.The improvement in their condition can come only through an improvement in themselves, and it certainly lles in their power to improve if they will.In nine cases out of ten the girl who expects to be the intimate friend of her mistress is the one who is totally incapable of forming such a friendship.None of us, whatever be our position in life, make intimate friends of all our acquaintances.Then why expect others to do so?HERMOINE.THAT SUNDAY DINNER.Those who have always been used to the best of domestics and retained them long in their service will generally be found more considerate than those who have but recently obtained a position to warrant them to hire help.These are as a rule most of the two I am, afraid.The pride and arrogance of some household rulers is something fearful to see.Who would think of raising healthy chicks on the north side of a haystack in January?Yet this iz as easily done as to raise healthy, mild, affectionate children In the wintry breezes -of domestic antagonism.UNCLE MACK.SIMPLY TRAINING.Training has raised nursing from heing simply a means of gaining a living to an Eonored profession.May not training do as much for domestic help?M.STATED HOURS.A factory girl or shop girl begins work, say, at 7 or 8 a.m., and works till 6 p.m.After hours their time is their own.They do not think of meeting socially their employers, though they may chance to do so.I think if domestic service were on a similar basis the familiar discord would cease.M.NIEMAND.THE REASON WHY.The reason house servants are looked down upon as a class is not because of the work they have to perform, but because so many of thera are incapable and untrustworthy.Agitate the idea of training schools until they become an accomplished fact.Let the girls pay as they would to learn any other business, pass examins- tions and receive certificates.SUBSIDIARY.THREE CAUSES OF COMPLAINT, There are three causes of complaint: low wages, bodily discomforts, such as small, dark, poorly ventilated rooms, unhandy kitchens, and inferior social position.Insist upon trained servants.As we require trained artists to develop our children's minds, so should we require trained servants to help the development of their bodies.ARBITRARY AND EXACTING.Are mistresses not too arbitrary and exacting, finding fault one day with what on another wo pass without comment.I believe the final solution of this question will not be reached until we are willing IRI 227 # Lai ee SOME PRETTY APRONS.tenacious of their dignity and most unsparing in their demands.+ +.« « Much of the work of a servant might be abridged by method and punctuality.Cleanliness is indispensable in a family, but sone housekeepers are so nice that the comfort of a whole family is sacrificed by a perpetual warfare against dust and a tolerably good servant rather than submit to constant nagging tries another mistress.On the other hand there are among servants natures that no amount of love will ever soften, BETTY BOTHSIDES.HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT YOURSELF?I have lived now over a year in the one place and I like my mistress, but I never as much as had the privilege of going to church one Sunday morning, nor has there been one Sunday evening that I had not to get tea.How many people living in a free country would like to be treated thus?ANOTHER CRITIC.EQUAL RIGHTS WITH MEN, Let such as need the help of women hire them on the same basis as that on which men are hired, namely, to work a given time for a stated wage, lawful holidays excepted, and for every day of recreation granted itr equivalent in either time or money should be exacted.A hired man's mind is at rest as to which is superior, himself or his employer.He condescends to ask sympathy from no one.Nor does he expect or receive days of recreation without an equivalent.His engagement is for a money consideration and he patiently and faithfully fills his allotted time and task, receives his pay and goes his way.« - + .Let all those hiring women help see to it that she gets equal rights with man in this connection.So surely as she does peace and quietness will be forever established he- tween mistress and maid.ANNIE.INCOMPATIBILITY OF TEMPER.Incompatibility of temper is a strong disturbing force in the realm of domesticity and embraces both the mistress and the maid, but the mistress is the chiefest sinner À LEE RYO TA - + .AORN I usa WPA TL pats pe ah to accord her socially in after life, when settled in a homs of her own the position she merits just as men do.Then, not in conclusion, but all the way through, let us spend a little more time at the cross: \u2018There earth\u2019s precious things seem dross, There earth's bitter things grow sweet.\u2019 LILA.CASTE QUICKLY LOST.A lady secured the help of a relative from a distance.One of the neighbors\u2019 daughters, & former acquaintance, meeting the young girl, gave her a cordial greeting, enquired as to how she was enjoying her visit, and invited her to coms and visit her.But on discovering that the newcomer was at her relative\u2019s home to help, the apparent frierdship suddenly vanished, and during the two years which have since passed by, tl ere have been 15 more cordial invitations or even kindly greetings.Surely ladies who honor and respect the faithful helpers in shop and office, be they male er female, must think meanly of their own home realms where they are queens où all they survey whez they look uyon their diligent assistant as inferior to her sister wbo assists her husband in his work.POSA.ON A BUSINESS BASIS.The only way to have an intelligent understanding between mistress and maid is to place the work on a strictly business basis, laying all sentiment aside.Where worth is exchanged for money there is no need for sentiment on either side.The hours of the maid should be regulated on the same plan as those of clerk or factory hand.ALICIA ROSS.STRICTLY BUSINESS.Hire our girls to do our housework in the same business manner as do our merchants and manufacturers.These have no trouble in getting girls.Why?Because when their girls have their work done they are free until next morning.And when they work overtims they are paid for it.I know, personally, several ladjes, who have tried this plan, and are delighted with it.J.M.MUST WANT TO LEARN.Hcusckeeping is an art, a science, a trade, a profession, and a heaven born instinct.And the \u2018natural born' housekeeper, like the artist or mechanic, of the seme type, finds no trouble with her work or her servants.And yet every woman who knows enough to open an umbrella over her head when it rains, knows enough to learn housekeeping if she is so disposed.And it is her imperative duty to be so disg posed.When wom~n are trained to do their work as craftsmen do the!rs, when the head of the house manages her help with the same exact.aess that the master workman manages his men, then we shall begin to see the solution of the difficulties which threaten to turn our homes into vast hostieries to be managed on the co-operative plan.There must be the same systematice apprenticeship to housework as for any other trade.A RADICE.MUST COME FROM THEMSELVES.The mistresses are difficult to please, and the maids more so.Constant grumbling and proclaiming a thing bad will make it bad.If the good servants would assert themselves, and raise the standard, the question would be nearer a solution.Let them organize into a Servant-Girl' Guild, having for its object the protection and improvement of servant girls.The mistresses can do a great deal to make the lives of the girls pleasant, but girls themselves must make themselves good servants and endeavor to fulfil the desires of their mistresses before they can hope to receive that public recognition that will place them on a level with other working girls.PENELOPE.THE SUPREME RULE.Even house work can be done \u2018as unto Christ.\u201d The girl who takes this for her standard will do good work, be trustworthy and faithful, will gain the respect and good will of her employer, and will have no difficulty in getting sufficlent time to herself for all she requires.There should be a thorough understanding about the work required of the servant, and the time allowed her.BETTY.GOT A BAD NAME.At the outset we must recognize the fact that however employers may talk of the advantages of domestic service it has got a bad name smong the working classes.e «as +s.Other workers have every evening to themselves, and all of Sunday, and.therefore, every servant should have some hours of undisturbed leisure each day.Very few servants nowadays complain of being overwcrked.It is rather that they are at it so long.A help in the solu- tien of the problem would, I think, Le to get some of our boys to take up cooking with the Intention of making it a life-study.Scme of the cleverest cooks in the world haye been men.In cities, at least, there.wculd be little difficulty in skilled workers getting employment.They might come to our houses in the morning, and leave at night.It is a mere matter of habit, that we think the perpetual presence of all our servants in our homes necessary.I.has been proved over and over again that work considered exclusively feminine has rarely been as well rewarded and as well well dcne as that undertaken by men.The \u2018new woman\u2019 has often turned her attention to learn a man\u2019s business for this very rea- gon.One must not lose sight of the fact that every worker desires good wages, and the pleasantest work she can get, and only those who cannot help themselves will undertake what is hard, disagreeable and interferes too .nuch with their liberty; and that clear, even-handed justice, with corsideraticn, is worth all the spasmodic kindness in the world.MARIETTA SMITH.\u2014\u2014 FACTORY OWNERS TO BLAME.Experience is as essential to become a mistress of a household, cr a domestic servant, as in any profession or mechanical trade.No girl, even if she {3s tho daughter of an earl or the daughter of a laboring man, is fit to becoine a wife, a mistress of a hcuse, a mother of the rising gencration, ur less she has fully mastered the details of domestic management.She will then make either a good mistress cr a good domestic servant.A mistress who does not krow how to wnrk herself cannot be just to her servants.The profession of domestic work requires more brains than tyrewriting, telegraphy, selling dry goods, and the many other occupations which girls think more dignified than sweeping, dusting, cooking, and other little things that help to make life enjoyable in the wealthy homet where the work is properly performed.If 2 girl has had proper training she will understand that it is charae- ter, not wealth, that makes the lady.The owners of cigar, nail and stamping factories, who employ female help from a mercenary view, could assist us by only employing male help.Would the owners of factories care to see their sisters and deughters working among men and boys not always using chaste language.We might also petition our comissioners of board schools to dispense with the higher branches of education, which so few girls master or require after leaving schonl, and teach them what will be to them of more practical value.ONLY A BOGEY.It fs impossible to view without grave concern the growing disposition on the part of our young women to regard the condition of domestic service as a modified form of slavery, to be entered on unwillingly.if at all.Already the balance of comfort leans to the side of domestic service and if it can capture in addition the two principal attractions of factory or shop life, namely greater independence and better soclal standing its cause will be gained.and there will be no lack of applicants to fill its honorable offices.What our girls who are deterred by the bogey \u2018Loss Ed D re ry ESS ER SE ER of Station' from accepting good homes and comfortable incomes Must do is to beljuvs that it is only a begey they have ts ro with, and one which boldly faced wil] a.appear as it is the habit of imgies tu oo.I would suggest: First, more love ur d svp pathetic knowledge of each other.5.0.second, more self-help in families.third, more help from outside brought in tr the day.CARITAN ENGLISH PRACTICAL HOUSEKEEPER.LEARN YOUR TRADE.There is no more sense in a gir! taking up a servant's position when she is not fit for it than for a man to want the positic: of à jourreyman when he has not learned his trade, A READER.THE SUNDAY WORK.Heve as little cooking as possible on Sunday, so that the domestics mey have an opportunity to enjoy the day of rest as wail as the other members of the household.LINA CANOT.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SOME

no doubt they would plead that tremendous pressure, which is so constant S ATURDAY, JANUARY 16, 1897.in a city like this.Besides, there has been no eommittee, no organization, no special attempt to enlist them.Mr.Moody has depended on affecting the churches indirectly by a rising tide of spiritual fervor.What are the results of the work thus far?The best of them, as always, can never be reckéned.That there has been a spiritual {quickening cannot be denied, Perhaps the most conspicuous good in this campaign has been the co-operation of the press.Mr.Moody has felt this very strongly, conscious that he was reaching not only the city but the whole country through these metropolitan journals.In the second week of the Cooper Union meetings, he felt that New York had been more thoroughly reached in this way than after a whole month of the famous Hippodrome meetings.It is something phenomenal.The worst ja- pers and the best have vied with each other in giving reports of the sermons and striking incidents of the services.The most \u2018up-to-date\u2019 paper gave its front page to an autograph letter of the evangelist.A Journal sent its most brilliant caricaturist, but he caught the infection, and his reverent treatment in illustration helped to deepen the force of the printed word.In onc of the early mectings, two reporters arose for prayer, convicted while writing down the sermon.As one went out, a renewed man, he said, \u2018I surely did not come here to become a Christian.\u2019 Testimony lias come to Mr.Moody daily, from all parts of the country, telling of men converted through reading these reports.\u2018I have a letter to-day froin a man in South Carolina and one in Minnesota, brought to God through reading the New Yorki \u2014\u2014,\u201d mentioning the daily scavenger! that has the trail of the serpent all! over it.The managers of one of the journals of largest circulation, came to Mr.| Moody and, in the presence of a busi- | ness man of national fame, urged upon; Mr.Moody the editorship of the Fun-j day edition for twelve months.He was to have complete control over every department, excluding every objectionable! advertisement, the management simply! to stand behind and pay the bills.For! a half-hour the proposition was urged, ! and then Mr.Moody sand: \u20141 wouldn't! touch it any more than I would touch tar.The bible is the beast Sunday paper ever made.[ wouldn't displace it with anything, however good.You need no other publication.\u201d In one of his mvet- ings he called upon his audience to remise that they would never again read a Sunday paper.CONVERSIONS, The uppermost question in all such campaigns is concerning the number of conversions.No attempt has been made to keep any record of them.In the Ccoper T'nion meetings there have heen frequently a hundred inquirers, sonie-| times two hundred, never less than rifty.| It is a sight to stir your heart.The, marked feature in Cooper Union is ge: commingling of classes.Rich and poor,.the tramp and the millionnaire, the \u2018woman of the street and the woman of! fashion.stand together with bowed heads.as prayer is offered to a common Ba-i vicur.> A young man drifted in one dav, forlorn, bankrupt in hope.He had last.his position through drink.He was tall and of striking appearance.Mr: Moody announced his text: \u2014' Seek ve first the kingdom of (God, and his right-; eonsness; and all these things shall he : added unto you.\u201d He urged men to get, right with God and then all would come | right.At the close of the service the ; voung man gave himself up, and when he had found peace with (God, his next praver was that he might be reinstated | in his old position.While he was pray-! ing, the firm in Chicago was writing Him.a letter and offering him his old place.- Two davs afterwards he read the letter to Dr.Dixon.and hegged him to assure the people that God would answer prarer.The conscience fund must not be forgotten.Mr.Moody's preaching stirs in men the desire to make restitution.The comptroller of the treasury soon found on his hands a conscience fund, men! sending back money that belonged to the! city.Probably there is no other man in | the country besides Mr.Moody to whom so many people bing their burdens and | tell the story of their sins.He encour: | ages this by assuring them that no sec: retary opens his mail, but that every | letter is opened and read by himself and | that every confidence will be respected.!

develop.and as there are barely half-a-dozen men in the world to-day who can compare with him in\" that science, there will be few to dispute his announcement.As it is, Hilprecht had added to history about thirty new kings, previously uu- known to us, and has cleared up by his reconstruction of Babylonian history the exact relations of the early Semitic dynasties to the old Sumerian Kings of Babylonia.Ancient Nippur sas in the Babylonian plain, between the Tigris and the Euphrates.It was the centre of the reli ious worship of the Sumerians.In time the Sumerians became effete\u2014even at that early day, civilization wore out\u2014 and the Semitic nomads who had Deen hovering for many years and through many dynasties on their northern border, were able to conquer some of the outlying towns.One of these was Kish, which was taken by the Semites some time about 5000 B.C.Thene was then on the border a mingling of the two civilizations.The invaders adopted the manners, customs, writing and religion of the invaded, and in this way the Sumerians impressed themselves on their conquerors.Their writing was not at first cuneiform, but picture writing.The origin of the cuneiform writing, curiously enough, Professor Hilprecht explains, was in the nature of an accident.The Sumerian inscriptions were merely combinations of lines, and were WRITING OF B.C.2750.Fine example of the fully developed cuneiform writing from an inscription of Dungi, the son of Ur-Gur, who built a great platform and temple tower at Nippur, all made on stone.Later on, when the use of clay bricks and cylinders and tablets came into use, the writer, in making a line in the clay, made a broader stroke in the wet mass in finishing than he did at the beginning, somewhat after the fashion of a pen line that begins fine and ends with a heavy flourish.In consequence of this, a line took a wedge shape.This became exaggerated in time in clay, because the fashion was copied even on stone, and finally became the regular form, what is known as cuneiform writing.Professor Hilprecht bought for a song comparatively, the oldest cuneiform tablet in existence, bearing the name Enkhegal, one of the oldest kings of the city and land of Tello.Six rivals were working for the same tablet, and the utmost delicacy had to be used.It is worth at least $5,000.\u2014From illustrated articles in Philadelphia

A LIFE BURDENED WITH PAIN AND SUFFERING.FROM \u2014 LANGUOR, SEVERE HEADACHES AND PAINB IN THE REGION OF THE KIDNEYS MADE THH LIFE OF MRS.M CAUCE MISERARLE\u2014DR., WILLIAMS\u2019 PINK PILLS CURED AFTER OTHER MEDICINES FAILED.(From the Gravenhurst \u2018Banner.\u2019) Poor health is an afliction that is dreaded by every one, and the first sign of approaching disease is usuaily met with an attempt on the part of the patient to check and kill it.Frequently, however, even the most skilled physicians fail, and the sufferer endures a weary round of agony such as those who are in the full enjoyment of health can have no conception of.But when at last a medicine is found that will cure its worth cannot be estimated in dollars and cents.It is without price.Such is the opinion of Mr.and Mrs.Hugh McCauce, of Ashdown, Ont.Mr.Me- Cauce tells the story of his wife's illness and cure as follows :\u2014\u2018For three or four years past my wife had been constantly failing in health.The first symptoms of lier trouble were languor and loss of appetite, accompanied by bearing down pains and headaclies, which affected her periodically.As time grew on she was attacked with pains in the region of her kidneys that became almost unbearable owing to their severity.Home remedies and different medicines were tried, but with no good results.Last winter she grew so weak and helpless that I was obliged to seek medical aid for her, and accordingly sent her out to Barrie, where she received the best medical attention, i the result of which was only «lightly henetieial.On her return, owing no ~doubt to the tediousness of the journey, she suffered from a relapse and her trouble came back in a form more aggravat-d than before.1 noticed in a paper which I was reading one day a testimonial from one who had been cured of a similar trouble, and although knowing tht other remedies had failed in my poor suffering wife's case, there was yet a ray of hope.I therefore procured a few boxes of Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills and on my return home administered the first dose to my wife.It is perhaps needless to relate that before the first supply was exhausted she found great relief.My wife now commenced to enjoy a buoyancy of spirits and kept on taking the Pink Pills with increasing good results.By the time she had used six boxes her condition had so improved that her neighbors were alnost unprepared to believe the evidence of their own eyes when seeing the change in her appearance.Before taking the pills it was a severe task even to dress herself, much less to do any housework, while now, although not having used any of the pills for more than a couple of months, she attends to all her household duties without the slightest inconvenience.Taking all things into consideration, I feel it a duty I owe to other sufferers to recommend these little pink messengers of health which stood between my well- nigh distracted wife and the jaws of a lingering but certain death.\u2019 The experience of vears has proved that there is absolutely no disease due to a vitiated condition of the blood or shattered nerves, that Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills will not promptly cure, and those who are suffering from such troubles would avoid much misery and save money by promptly resorting to this treatment.Get the genuine Pink Pills every time and do not be persuaded to take an imitation or some other remedy from a dealer, who for the sake of the extra profit to himself, may say is \u2018just as good\u201d Dr.Willams\u2019 Pink Pills cure when other medicines fail.elicits some strange

Sir,\u20141 wish to present some of my views or opinions on matters of public interest.I do not see reform in Church or State progressing, as it is claimed it is by a large number of people.Rather, infidelity is progressing fast.Just look at the politics of this Dominion.What a condition they were in this last eighteen years, and where is the guarantee they will be any better in the future?If we are to judge by the tone of the press, our representatives\u2019 term will be a short one, Iv is just this, mine own arm and my might hath gotten me the victory last June.No acknowledgment of an overruling providence as being a prime fac tor, or in a less degree, in bringing about a change of government.So if our representatives do not manifest a better spirit than the press, their term of office will be short; there is abundance of proof as to the backsliding nearly everywhere.The divine law as given by Moses as to educating their children, is not\u2019 regarded, they must have civil laws, and then fight about it.Also, thev must have a prohibitory law to prevent a man from getting drunk, instead of educating him in Christianity, which would save him from all vices.But the press is educating the people to a large extent in the wrong direction.Panrder- ing to a perverted appetite, going to \u2018 Vanity Fair\u2019 for food for the people, which is ruining them, and they do not know it.Christianity suffers much in the house of professed friends, when they pander to the follies of fashion, glory in disfiguring the human body, against which the prophet announces a most solemn warning, Isaiah chap.11., verses 16 to end.The \u2018 Witness\u2019 is in, I think, a dangerous place.The wise man says: \u2014\u201cA man that flattereth his neighbor spreadeth a net for his feet.\u201d Apparent- lv there are a good many nets now spread for the \u2018Witness.\u2019 .I have written to the press in the line of acknowledging an overruling providence in the recent election, but was refused a place in their columns.So it\u2019 appears the aim of the press is patronage, and to pander to all sorts of tastes.No wonder we had a bad government, a reflection of the people.including the nulpit and the press.But the case is hopeless until the scourge does its work, which assuredly will be done, and that before long.| remain your well-wisher, by hoping you may get more light.not yet formed the habit of a personal ls es JOHN ARTHUR.of exercise and drill for the infantry of the Fatherland.Since the first fall of snow in the upland districts, the German infantry troops have this winter \u201cbeen busily taking exercise on snowshoes and perfecting themselves in the use of foot.gear which must ever form an important CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES INDICATIONS OF CLOSER TRADE RELATIONS SLOWLY DISAPPEARING.Washington, Jan.15\u2014When the Lib- era! party came into power at the recent elections in Canada it was a part of their declared purpose to secure more intimate To accomplish this result a treaty.with tional law-makers of this country respecting such an arrangement.is the pur- ington yesterday.estly announced that they came in an | unofficial * capacity and simply to talk: with the public men to learn how far | their co-operation may be secured.Yesterday Mr.Farrer spoke with Mr.Ding- | lev of Maine, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee.To-day he and\u2019 Mr.Charlton continwed their mission work, but so far as can\u2019 be learned the results have been slim.The objection raised by the United States legislators is that the natural products of both countries are the same, owing to similar climate and soil conditions.The members of the Ways and Means Committee, for example, will not agree that even the present rate of duty on foreign farm products, to say nothing of a lower rate of duty, will be permitted.There is an urgent demand from the American fermer along the entire northern boundary for a restoration of the McKinley rates of duty on hay, beeves, horses, breadstuffs and products.So far as these articles are concerned no reciprocity is possible.The same is true of lumber.Under the present law the importations of lumber from Canada have been enormously increased, and so keen- lv have the American lumbermen felt the competition of their Canadian neigh- | bers that they will not only demand the | old rate of duty but a very considerable ircrense above that.So far as manufactures are concerned it is not believed that the Canadians will accept any arrangement which will give the Americans a practical control of their market, as would be possible if reciprocity in mznufactures of iron, steel and other articles were permitted.On the other hend, the two visiting Canadians main- Bran FAD, Lu Pee nm Tes ma Apr SECTE SEE apr mo a tain that the Canadians will grant such | trade relations with the United States.| presses, grey put ;
