DISCUSSED.THE TEN THOUSAND VOTED TO GIVE WORK TO THE POOR.The Road Committee met yesterday afternoon.The order from the City Council instructing the committee to return certain land in Hochelaga Ward in the same condition it was in when the city took it a few years ago under a peculiar expropriation law, was read and caused some comment.The proprietors of the land are the Montreal Land Improvement Company, E.L.Hurtubise, W.L.Hogg, Henry Hogan, Canadian Pacitic Railway Company, Montreal Street Railway Company, Dominion Cotton Mills Company, Darling & Darling, Arthur Paquette and the Estate Masson.The city surveyor explained that on a portion of this property macadam and sidewalks had been laid, and that to re- niove them le would have to be given more money.He explained further that the committee had been instructed to give back to Messrs.Fairman and Hol land a certain piece of property on the corner of Peel and St.Catherine streets.The city had, for some reason or other, taken possession of this property and had laid a firimite sidewalk upon it.The order from the council made its instructions in this matter subject to instmic- tions from the city attorney.The question of the city being heid responsible for this property was one which the city surveyor thought sorely needed the consideration of tke city attorney.Ald.Prefontaine, who presided at the meeting for the first time since his return from Europe, was very much surprised at the action of the city council in regard to those east end properties.The land had been given to the city in good faith and it seemed far from just on the part of the council to try and return the land at this late date without compensation.In case the proprietors consented to take back the land the city surveyor would then be justified in proceeding and carrying out the order of the council, but if the proprietors did not consent then it was a question thât would have to be decided by the courts.He was satisfied that the city attorney would advise that course.It was consequently decided, after some discussion, to refer the whole matter back for a report from the city attorney, and for the purpose of obtaining the decd of cession of the land to the city.The city surveyor reported that it would only be possible to keep the quarries open for another week: the ten thcusand dollars voted for this work would be exhausted by this time.It was decided to instruct the city survevor to thus keep the poor at work a little longer.Arrangements for the payment of same would have to be made later.The question of floodings was brought up and the city surveyor said that if he were given four or five thousand dollars he could keep the water courses open in the spring.It would be wiser to get this money than have to pay money out for damages; last year the city had paid about eighty thousand dollars in damages for floodings.The committee spent a considerable portion of the time of the meeting by opening tenders for the laying of asphalt and composite sidewalks, cement and lumber, all of which were referred to Mr.St.George to mike an exhaustive report on the merits of each before the contracts were awarded.FUTURE MISSIONARY WORKERS.How Women Are Training Them \u2018The coming generation will be better trained in missionary interests than their fathers were if this is any indication T'his was the remark of an old gentleman vesterday afternoon as he surveved the children from the mission bands of the (Congregational churches of the \u201city at the meeting of the Quebec Branch of the Canada Congregational Woman's Board of Missions in Emmanuel Church.And it certainly was a promising sight.After all, the opinion of the funny papers to the contrary, notwithstanding, the mother instinct in women is supreme.No matter what work she undertakes the children are with her.And certainly the missionary exercises given at this meeting reflected great credit on the ladies who instructed the children in them.Mrs.Powter read an able paper on the gifts of native Christians, showing that the native converts on our mission fields give a far larger proportion of their means to the work of the Lord than do the Christians at home.They have been known repeatedly, when all their money was gone, to lay aside a tenth of their food, and to go with only twa meals a day, to share with those in still greater want than themselves.Instead of a tenth the average Christians in this | country give but one-fiftieth of their Learnings.Yet if the home Christians | cave hut one-fourth as the Znin as misent purchase a hundred toises of stone and ; pp A Re OUR Masncu 13, 1897 Christians give the difficulties of our missionaries would be at an end.Must Christians gave less to mission work in one vear than they spent on any one luxury.We were, as vet, mercly plav- mg at missions.\u2019 Miss Dougall spoke strongly against spasmodic giving.The whole system wus wrong when we did not lay aside a regular proportion of our income to used in the spread of the Gospel.Miss Cochrane said it had been caleu- lated that if our present staff of mission ary workers were only trebled the whole world would he converted within the next generation.Dr.Dougall spoke of the danger of confining our sympathies in one channel.A Presbyterian minister in this city had vigorously refused to give her anvthing towards the work of an undenomina- tional mission hall on the plea that he did not believe in diverting money out of Presbyterian channels, vet one lady in that church gave her forty dollars.and her husband gave her thirty; and that couple were at the same time paving the whole salary of a missionary now in the field.Miss Carter of Cowansville.sister of the late Mrs.Lee of West Central Africa, gave a paper on missionary difi- culties.Tor the matter for this, she said she had gleaned from every source except missionary home letters.lise sionaries wrote home little but the briglit side.She spoke of the missionaries (oi).ing over African wilds under hroiling sun or through drenching rains.+ lle we He had our comfortable electric and Puil- man cars: of the unwillingness ©: the natives to

reduction of their alread.small salaries and the dismissing of scores of native preachers because the Clhri- tians at home would not send it.Yet three cents a day from every Christian in America would be ample.A paper by Mrs.Sanderson of Dan- ville on the \u2018 Relation of Temperance Work to Missions,\u201d was read hv Mrs.Riddle.The drink traffic had blotted en: whole races of our dark brethren and vet Christian nations kept pouring the staff in upon them.For everv minsn every action of the players, to whom great credit is due for the careful pre paration that they had given to the per formance.Previous to this performance, Brother W.H.Lambly, Grand Chef Templar, delivered a brief address in which he made reference to prohibition and the forthcoming plebiscite.remarking that the latter would entail rome hard work and that he hoped Quebec would be in line with the other provinces on the question.Master Ernest Feu- wick sang a song in good style and a little girl, Miss Annie

1897.The contemptible and very suspicious practice of aldermen personally peddling cut the city's contracts is bearing fruit after its kind.Improving on the example of the Fire, Police and other committees, which always divide up among their members their contracts for coal, the Parks and Ferries Committee has decided that each of its members shall have five cords of wood to dispose of for \u2018charitable purposes.\u201d Litlte wonder that it is difficult to get men of high spirit to hunger after aldermanic honors.The cord-wood in question was spied by the committee on Thursday afternoon while making its annual inspection of St.Helen's Island, and it yearned so ardently after it that rest was impossible until it formally decided it must possess il.The firewood had been made out of trees that had been blown down by a storm a veur ago.The action of the committee cennot be condoned because the superintendent of the island happened to say he did not need all the firewood.The committee would have protected itself against the imputation of fishing for votes with the public property if it had instructed the superintendent to dispose of the surplus firewood for the city\u2019s benefit or to send it to some charitable Institution.\u2014_\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TRUE PATRIOTISM.Patriotism is a catchword often upon our lips, but few of us pause to realize its full meaning.Addison has defined it as that love to our country which is a fixed disposition of mind to promote the reputation of the community in which we were born and safety, welfare and of the constitution under which we are protected.The sentimental aspects of patriotism figure often in public speeches, but the moral aspects which have to do with the safeguarding of the highest in- tcrests and the promotion of the noblest ideals of the country do not receive the emphasis they deserve.True patriotism expresses itself in the service which gives to the sympathies and obligations of fatherland their due place and influence.Christians look to Jesus Christ for an example, and should imitate him in this as in all other respects.The patriotism of Jesus Christ was the patriot- He denounced the evils and strove to remedy the abuses of his country because he loved his country 1sm of reform.with a patriotic passion not yet fully interpreted by the exponents of his life and teaching.A careful study of his sayings will reveal the fact that many of them were devoted to the preaching of a gospel of reform.With his own hands he drove the money-grubbers out of the temple court.His anger blazed against the wrongs and injustices heaped upon his people by the ecclesiastical government of the day.Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes alike came under the lash of his indignant rebuke.By denouncing the false aims that dominated national activity, by raising a loftier ideal, and by moulding social life into the attainment of righteousness, he left for his followers an example of true patriotism they would do well to follow.The patriotism of Jesus Christ would speedily smite to the dust not a few of the evils which threaten national pros- TOUS bé Sa thse Er AEE EL \u2014 perity in our day.True patriots are ever brave kmights who battle For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance.For the future in the distance.\u2019 Their ruling\u201d idea is that the state is for the people, that no nation is in a satisfactory condition when large portions of its population are discontented and miserable, when they are cowed by other classes or when the people are kept in ignorance or are prevented by any form of tyranny from developing their manhood.They realize that it is their duty to advocate such social reforms as would tend to raise men intellectually, morally and materially and promote in them self-reliance and a sense of responsibility for the common good.Hard and thankless work is involved in this conception of patriotism, but it kindles in the heart an enthusiasm capable of high and holy endeavor.It will revive memories of the days when men believed that this British empire of ours was like the heritage of God, and labored to make the commonwealth a theocracy.Puritanism in its palmy days was ratriotic to the core, never hesitating to spend time, energy, money, and even blood, in making the country free within and glorious without.When Cromwell commanded the Ironsides and Blake commanded the fleet, the land of our forefathers enjoyed a liberty and purity never surpassed before or since because the ideal of those patriotic reformers was the righteousness which exalteth a nation.The times call loudly for true patriots, men whose devotion to purity of govern: ment and goodness of national life would lead them to place principle before party and men before measures.Every lover of his or her country should be a patriot by adding a distinct contribution to the forces that make for righteousness in the country.Mothers are true patriots when they teach their children the necessity and nobility of good- Fathers are true patriots when they give their children a good education and train their boys in manliness, self- reliance and in fidelity to the duty of the hour.ness.School-masters and preachers are true patriots when they impress the fundamental truth : \u2018Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added unto you.\u2019 Every man is a true patriot who, accord- \u2018ing to his influence and ability, lends a helping hand to the movements and reforms that seek to work out the nation\u2019s highest possibilities.He is not a true patriot and his loyalty is misplaced who supports a political party in wrongdoing.He is not a true patriot who praises his country when she ought to be blamed, any more than he is a manly man who claims for himself more credit than is his due.He is not a true patriot who sets the claims of any body or society with which he may be connected, even though it be a church, before the interests of the whole community to which he belongs.\u2014 THE WORLD'S KNIGHT ERRANT.The United States papers are just now giving a good deal of space to somewhat hysterical verse against England because she does not defend the Cretan Christians against the Turks.Some of the most vigorous of these verses by a well- known minor poet, Miss Woolson, gives a fair idea of the general tenor of them all :\u2014 Shame, England, on thy dastard fleet, Which guards the Sultan's murderous path, And trains thy guns cower, Flying before the Moslem\u2019s wrath.where Christians The Turk, thy lord; at his behest, The bleeding hands that stretch to thee Thou beatest down, the while they plead For help toward life and liberty.And England's Queen, who proudly bears A title won by valiant sires, \u2018Defender of the Faith,\u2019 is mute While Moslems quench its altar fires, O\u2019er martyrs\u2019 shrines the crescent glows: St.George has sheathed his craven sword; Judas of Nations, Britain stands; For India's wealth she sells her Lord.The Turk shall grin beside thy feast, Base land, and keep thy jubilee; While Christian Liberty, in chains Shrieks friendless from the Cretan sea, The objection to these American rhymes is not that they are without reason, but in the unreasonableness of their source.In impassioned but dignified verse the most stately of living English poets has given utterance to the feelings of self-reproach which depress the heart of the British nation over the position of Great Britain in the Armenian and Cretan affairs, It is more than probable that if the Imperial Government to-day issued an order to the British fleet to carry out in the face of all Europe the transfer of SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1897.Crete from Turkey to Greece the peoples of the whole British empire wouid exultingly back it up.The British fleet could carry out the task and, in all probability, Great Britain herself would re- mein at peace.There is no possible combination of the powers which could carry the war into British dominions, so secure is she behind her sea power.Moreover, her action would set the Continent ablaze ; it would fire the Greeks of Macedonia and Albania and the people of Bulgaria and Roumelia, and Turkey would find herself not only with the wolves at her throat but with the lions and eagles fighting her and one another for her possessions.The Continental powers would be so engrossed in fighting one another that they would not have time even to think of attacking Great Britain, whose alliance, indeed, all parties would be courting.Tt is the bitter reproach of the Continental against Great Britain that she is inclined to defend the Armenians and Cretans by smashing Turkey and setting all Eu- powers rope ablaze in war, knowing that the flames are not likely to spread across the English Channel.That is the reproach which Great Britain finds it most difficult to answer effectively.Great Britain, by doing everything within her power but exercising force against the Sultan, in order to defend the Armenians and Cretans has, by standing out alone in the councils of the nations against Russia, Germany, Austria and France time and again, brought upon herself the hatred and distrust of all these great powers.Great Britain, in order to avoid an Armageddon in Europe in which hundreds of thousands, indeed millions, of Continental peoples would perigh, remained in union with the rest of the powers to prevent the outbreak of war, but within that union she has always worked hard and is working hard for | the ultimate security and freedom of the Armenians, Cretans and other peoples oppressed by tyrannical misgovernment.Perhaps her sons have a right to reproach her for not going further and even taking a part in an Armageddon that might end some of the Christian as well as the Mohammedan powers of tyranny.But we fail to see why the people of the United States should reproach Great Britain while their own nation lifts mei- ther hand nor foot, but is apparently perfectly indifferent to the cause of humanity or Christianity.It is, of course, a great tribute to the reputation of Great Britain as the defender of all just and righteous causes to have peoples of other nations attacking her for permitting injustice or tyranny anywhere in the world.But Great Britain, which has built up that reputation by deeds, must be and can be safely left to decide when and how this can be best done without advice from those who leave her to accomplish these tasks alone.Were even the moral support of the great American nation understood to be behind Great Britain in her efforts to protect the weak there would be an easier solution of the problem.But while the sort of moral support Great Britain gets from this side of the sea consists largely of such flouts as we have quoted above, and is liable to be a threat of war at the crisis when she needs to be strongest, such expressions of feeling do not win respect.re USURY.Before Judge Gill came a case which reveals an evil that is met by no law.A money-lender had lent two hundred and fifty dollars to a poor fellow for a month with interest from date if unpaid in thirty days at five percent per day.A hundred dollars had been repaid, but a hundred and fifty had run on at this extortionate rate.The was so shocked with this outrageous usury that he sent the case before the Superior Court, where Judge Gill could do nothing but award the money-lender the full amount of his pound of flesh as written down in the bond and signed, amounting at the date | of the suit to over six thousand dollars, or over twenty-four times the sum lent.Canada once had laws against usury.The old ecclesiastical law forbade taking any interest at all, in which it was in accord with the more conscientious usage of the ancient Hebrews as between each other, though not as toward Gentiles.The view that all interest is wrong is possible in a simple state of society where borrowing is always the result of distress, but it dies away under commercial conditions when the greater part of debts simply part of the machinery of commerce.As commerce the Hebrews found that of money had a value are developed the use and that prothonotary it was impossible to carry on lhusi ness without acknowledging that valn- and paying for the use of any one else y money so long as one held it.Thi con.dition of things had become so fully à - ' knowledged and so completely organized | in the time of our Lord that He di-l not fear to shock the moral sense of His Jew ish hearers by illustrating the duty uring one's natural powers by compariy it with the acknowledged duty of mak.n, the most of money : Wherefore, the gavest thou not my money into the haul that at my coming 1 might have re mine with usury.\u201d The quired own word \u2018usury\u2019 when the bible Was tran- lated meant any rate of interest what: ever, and simply stands for any payment for the use of money.The same necessity of commerce has been again realized in modern times, Even in Roman Catholic countries a certain rate of interest 1s allowed by law, which is known as interest, and all higher rates are legally accounted criminal and termed usury.Remnants of such Jawa existed in Canada until recent Banks which found their money or their veurs.risks worth more than six percent hal formerly to invent some fictitious trans- in order to obtain the extra amount of interest which they found it action necessary to charge.So impossible was it found to establi-h any fixed rate beyond which further charge would be illegitimate that at las: ull usury laws were swept away and everybody except the banks, which canne now exceed seven percent, and the pawnbrokers, who have their special limitations, is now allowed to make wh.t bargain he may as to the rate = which he shall lend or borrew money.In a case which came le fore our cou'ts some time ago, whi some of our readers may recall, nine percent a month had been exacted.The judge so strongly realized the iniquit - of the transaction that he sent the whole record of the case to the Miuistor of Justice That rate was brotherly kindness itself, however, as compared with five percent a day ; yet this sume court finds itself forced to give the money lender his whole claim, and the public and the law-makers are equaliy nonplussed about what to do about it, There is one thing which modern communities confronted with a moral wrong seem always to know how to do.If you find an iniquity that vou do not see how to make a law against, then let the community be careful to go partners with the evil-doer and throw its mantie of respectability over him by sharing his ill-gotten gains.This is the method adopted by the Scottish farmer who found a lot of Highland robbers supping his cream, too many for him to handle, and who got himself a spoon and sat down among them and supped too.This is what we do with the liquor traffic, and it is a process by which we have managed in the course of time to give that traffic a very respectable position before the community, much as the trai- fic persistently does to bring contempt on itself.We do it also with the ueur- ers.A man found fattening on men's needs can, it seems, be required to pay the city a license fee of two hundred dollars.Who could call a moneylender who takes out his certificate of respectability and public service at such a cost any opprobrious name after that ?Law has always found itself helpless in attempting to limit the rate of interest.It has always been circumvented by fictitious processes which have come in time to be recognized as usage even in the courts.These fictions have always added heavily to the burdens of the borrower above and beyond what the nereasfd vacate have cost him.So (that far from protecting the poor, as was their intention, they i simply added to their would seem, however, not be difficult to ma that would outlaw sheer and palpable ex: tortion.To take advantage of a fol ish man's extremity to make him enter mto an undertaking the meaning of ! which he presumably does not under stand and which under the most bable conditions will enslave him rt life and plunder his family and anv other creditors he may have, is obviously 1 burdens.It as if 1t some

to believe in the wealth stored in these palaces when Turkey itself 1s so poor.\u201cthe same stone, chimney-pieces studded with precious stones.crystal candelabra, mirrors with surfaces of thirty

hat: \u2014Redpath estate, seventy acres, %82,- 272: Lemoine farm, thirty-five acres, £27,500 ; Sir Hugh Allan, twenty-eight acres, 813,576 : Mr.Hugh Tavlor, thirty- five acres, 97,598 ; Mr.Benjamin

are far better engaged at out-door games there than they would be in making street corners down in the workingmen's dwelling districts uncomfortable with their pranks._ Part of this.also, was serviceable for exhibitions and should in the future prove an excellent drilling aryl manoeuvring ground for our volunteers.Thus the men who wanted the money spent upon the land unintentionally put aside a valuable heritage for the Montreal boys By providing a fine playground.One ¢f \"the really gat acquisitions of the park was the purchase a few vears since of the Tomkins property, twenty: five acres.which carries the park to Cote des Neiges road.It cost only 85,000.Mr.A.Bernard, long since passed away, was mayor when the city, in 1874, passed the park by-law, placing the park under the control of commissioners who should be appointed by the City Coun- ail, and the, fangs for expenses of the park weré\"to be paid each vear either from the park lean or from current revenue.Mr.Irederick Law Olmstead, a much noted park engineer, was secured to make a plan for the new park.His de sizn Was accepted as excellent, and no exception was taken to any part of it.But after he had been lauded to the skies for his ideas, the plan was push ed aside and the principles of the City Council were set up instead.chute.on the eastern end and a terrible excrescence called the \u2018look-out\u2019 on the south-west side.According to Mr.Olmsted's plan this should have been an octagon-shiped plateau, instead of the promenade afterwards placed there.Mr.Olmsted wrote a book about the park, in many chapters.In course of Chapter VTIT he says : \u2018You have new mountain ideals in view : ideals with more, not less, of poetic charm ; and your roads and other artificial constructions must be mad.with studied regard to that which von thus have before you, not to what vou are necessarily putting behind.To accomplish this transition skilfully and gracetully requires, it must be admitted, an exercise of judgment and taste in a direction not often followed with commercial purposes : and it must be fur ther admitted that if you secure this, and yet cannot, as a communitv, find satisfaction in anticipating, forecasting, and watéhing the development of the new-:cherm,\"aurd- ir seeing it gradually emerge from and overgrow the ruin of the old, then the gentleman T have quoted was in the right, and the policy was sound which I presume him to have since followed, of opposing every mnica- sure of pretended improvements upon the mountain as in truth a measure for spail- ing it.Indecd, no man should account himself a gentleman to whom anv other course is not only repugnant, but in whom snch\u2019 measures do not stir up a disposition to something more than idie grumbling.- .In short, it\" is not to be denied that vou cheated yourselves when you bought the mountain for the park, unless vou were prepared to have it managed on principles applicable to works of art.\u2019 This was not done, of course.and Mr.Olmsted feit ver: much aggrieved that it was not.Metfhibhon, but finally came to see that as park superintendent Mr.MeCibhon ha] followed as near to lines of art as cramped means and too stolid park commissioners would permit.In his book Mr.Olmsted goes nto the poetic with a plunge, and holds onr park to be a very gem of ornate beauty.He says :\u2014- * You have chosen a mountam for vone park, but in truth a mountain barely worthy of the name.You would cali it a hill if it stood a few miles further away fromthe broul, flat river valley.Its scener®; that is to say, is but rela These comprised all sorts of queerlv-built shelter< and refreshment rookeries, with the elevated railway.commonly called the coal- He at first

did muel to beautify with wild flowers cer- tion parts of the park dells and shrubberies.The grasses were permitted to grew and something was done to check the vandalism of breaking young trecs and destroying wild flowers.Mr.Olmsted was quick to see this on the occasion of his visits, for he.in con- versätion with a * Gazette\u2019 reporter in 1876, * praises very highly the efforts of Mr.MceGibbon in keeping the wild flowers and shrubbery from being despoiled, and says the park has improved in appearance one hundred percent over last year Mr.Olmsted, in the same interview, \u2018expresses himself highly pleased at the judicious manner in which Chief Park Ranger McGibbon has carried ont the temporary work on roads,\u201d ete.Mr Olmsted expressed unbounded Surprise at the magnificence of the park as a whole, notwithstanding his previous knowledge of 1ts charms.The Park Superintendent for years was a notable figure seated in the saddle on his white mare Dolly.Winter and summer, the little animal, as =agacious and sure-focted as a Newfoundland dog, perfectly acquainted with all the Dy- paths and short cuts in the park, carried the superintendent over the ground in such fashion to make him a terror to evil doers.The mare was a general favorite until death carried her off.Winter is the most severe foe the park superintendent's men have to face.People want to enjoy the crisp, keen air on the driving roads.During the storm season the snow-plough the great worker which keeps the roads open.Some scenes of the wen at work are given.The park superintendent's reulence 1= the only summer scene he has.Its luxuriant ornamentation in flower and leaf are but indications of the strength of shrubbery and forest growth to be found all over the park.A few deer in the paddock, some squirrels wild in the woods und the irrepressible chipmunk are the only animals on the park precincts in summer, except, of course, the songsters of Canada.which are very numerous and varied in their music.as 1s A WORD FROM AN OLD SETTLER.tTo the Editor of the * Witness.\") Sir,\u2014Your paper has been in our family a long time\u2014how long 1 do not just know-\u2014but 1 have

ot whom I am well acquainted; and | have thought I might add something that would interest some of your read- ert, many of whom no doubt have read that widely known work ot Mrs.Modie, entitled \u2018 Roughing it in the Bush.\u2019 The tarm which was the scene of all the events described in the first volume of her book was purchased by my father a year or two after they left it and moved to the Township of Dunsmere.It has been in our hands ever since.My father and mother came out from Lon- den, England, staved in Toronto a short time, and in the vear 1837 left Toronto during the rebellion troubles and drove down here in the spring thaw.There were no grand roads then.Cordurovr and mud were the best to be had.1 forget just how long they were getting here, but it was a long time.Now we go 1n two or three hours.I have heard my father say that in a cedar swamp at the back of the house, about half a wile (part of the swamp is there yet) the wolves used to come out at night and howl.The old graveyard where the old pioneers sleep who cleared away the forest, and which Mrs.Modie mentions in her book, is, and always has been, fenced and kept sacred from desecration.One of the apple trees to which he also refers, and which was planted in 1793, is vet standing.For over seventy vears it has never missed bearing fruit.It had about three barrels on it this year.My father and mother ure both dead, and I am living on the farm and working it in connection with another about four miles away, on which one of my sons lives.We are engaged in the raising of Southdown sheep and Shorthorn cattle, Chester, White and Derkshire pigs.There are only one or two of the old settlers who knew Mr:.Modie now left in this part.If this should meet the eve of any of the relatives or friends or the Modies I should be pleased to hear from them.Hoping I have not trespassed too much on your space, I remain, Yours truly, R.5.HIOLDSWORTH.Hythe Farm, Mareh 1, 1697.7: z & à Ra max 1 would be much

SCIATICA WAS CURED.A CORRESPONDENT OF THE ORILLIA \u2018NEWS- LETTER\u2019 WITH PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR MAKES THE LETTER PUBLIC \u2014IT WILL BE GLADLY READ BY OTHER SUFFERERS FROM THIS PAINFUL MALADY.(From the Orillia \u2018News-Letter.\u2019) The following letter has been forwarded us by the Coldwater, Ont., correspondent of the \u2018News-Letter,\u2019 which we have great pleasure in publishing :\u2014 Coldwater, Sept.25, 1896.A few weeks ago I became very unwell from an attack of sciatica, and remembering that a while ago a well-known friend of mine, Mr.C.T.Hopson, of Fesserton, a few miles from here, had been a great sufferer from this painful complaint, I thought it would be well to consult that gentleman as to the medicine he gives credit to for his relief and cure, as I was aware that he was now well and hearty and had ever since been in steady work among lumber\u2014his regular business.He gave me the information required, and wrote out the following testimonial which he desires to have published in any way I think proper, hoping that it will meet the eye of many sufferers like myself who are anxious to get relief.I therefore forward it to you to publish :\u2014 Fesserton, Sept.18, 1896.\u2018It is with the greatest pleasure that | I testily to the marvellous benefit and cure that Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills effected in my case.In the vear 1892 1 was taken verv bad wilh sciatica.I was.treated at different times hy two doctors,: Lut dispensed with their.services as.Lk found 1 was not getting the hoped for | relief.I then tried different remedies advertised as a cure for sciatica, but with no better result.Then I tried strongly recommended electrical .appliances, but still to no purpose.1 did not improve any and the pain was excruciating, and I began to lose all hope of ever getting | hetter.I could not sit down or move about without suffering intense pain, and the only relief I could get was when : [ lay down with my legs stretched straight out, and then the pain was somewhat lees.1 was in this position one day when TI picked up a newspaper lying by my side and there I read of a man cured of sciatica by taking Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink | Pills.Always having but little faith in proprietary medicines, and in view of the experience l already had, I would not have tried them but for the fact that my wife insisted on going at once and procuring some.She got a box and persuaded me to take them.By the time I had finished the box I believe I felt better, so I kept on taking the pills, and by the time I had taken six hoxes I was entirely cured.I had been laid up for four months before taking the Pink Pills, and I shall continue to take them occasionally, as I know them to be an excellent medicine.I shall never cease recommending them.Yours truly, CHARLES T.HOTSON.Our correspondent adds that this letter is from a much respected resident of Fesserton, whose word is generally considered as geod as his bond.structive experiment in the way of making small loans to the fellaheen of lower Egypt.The practice of the peasants is to borrow in the spring and repay when the cotton crop is ripe.The local money-lenders are mostly Greeks, and they lend at from twenty to thirty percent.The government effected loans for £7,700 at six percent to small cultivators.The whole of the capital and interest except £E20 was repaid by the | end of November, and the money-lenders -had to lower their rates.Unfortunately, Lord Cromer finds it quite impossible for the government to carry on such operations on a great scale.It is hoped that the important business of readjusting the land tax will be accomplished in 1828.Until this is done, intending purchasers of land naturally hang back, and the revenue of the Domains Administration suffers from this cause as wel} as from the fall in cotton.Last vear was a \u2018record\u2019 year in the consumption of salt \u2014a sure test of the well-being of the masees of the people.The imports were £E1,271,000 and the exports £E568,- 000 in excess of those for 1895, and the cotton crop yielded 148,000 cantars more than in the previous season.Tobacco duties gave a net revenue of over a million, while the sugar crop crushed was the largest known.Lord Cromer foresees a great future for the Egyptian 16 sugar industry.Upper Egypt, he declares, is \u2018singularly suited to sugar cultivation\u2019 by soil and climate, and labor is cheap.The supply of water, however, is as yet insufficient.The gross receipts of the railways were unusually large, and good progress is being made with the upper Egypt lines.pese The Prince of Wales was asked to present to the Queen a petition signed by 309,000 persons, praying for the total abolition of vivisection.As it is contrary to practice to present petitions to the Queen, he could not comply with the request.ADVERTISEMENTS.0e\u2014e\u2014.-IT- 24° -Qr a, DRUGGISTS-SELL-IT- Z RESA-Qier FAST LOSING GROUND.Dealers

the better.The \u2018Sydney Morning Herald\u201d estimates the total acreage under crop in Australia this year, excluding New Zea- land, altogether at 4,234,409 acres, which should yield 18,643,490 bushels, and sets down the probable needs of the colonies at 25,706,775 bushels, of which 4,602,805 bushels is required for seed.The foreign grain ordered or afloat is 2,323,610 bushels, which will

company\u2019s capital is to be fifty million dollars it is evident that the industry is to be conducted on an extensive scale.If this patented electrical process for the manufacture of sugar from cornstalks proves to be a commercial success every farmer will be benefited and sugar may become one of our country\u2019s chief products.It will be well, however, not to begin to corner cornstalks vet a while.The opinion is common among well posted manufacturers .that sap once frozen will not make as light colored or good flavored sugar as if it has never been frozen.This idea is not universal, Fowever, especially where the sap has been frozen but once before going to the evaporator.As a general rule, the sooner the sap is converted into sugar SATURDAY, Marca 13, 1897, styled the

of freezing, the sugar from such would be white and of pure maple flavor.! Wooden spouts are unsuitable, for one ; reason, because they plug the best sap- producing pores.They absorb the liquid and become sour, and when so are liable tos sour the sap which passes ; through them, especially if 1ot «vaporat- red soon after being gathered.Too many .sugar makers who use the wooden spout fail to properly cleanse and scald at the | tend of the season, or before using the | following season.Wooden spouts plac- jed in the trees in a sour and filthy condition cannot fail to exert a harmitul influence on the sap.Some makers prefer a tin spout, owing to its small cost and the fact that it damages the trees very little.Metallic spouts, well galvanized, are generally considered the most durable, producing best results.They allow a free tlow of sap, neither rust nor mildew, are durable, and much! less liable to become sour than a wooden spcut.In sowing zrass seeds on the prairie! the aim should be, first, to sow them as varly as possible in the spring, that they

NOVELS.\u2018In the Crucible, by Grace Denio Litchfield (Putnam\u2019s), comes appropri ately at a time when people have had their attention turned to doings in Washington.It describes Washington society and gives a glimpse of an inauguration scene.The story is that of a girl who is determined that her life shall be all \u201chappiness.She marries, however, without love and finds her lot full of trouble.In the crucible of life the gold of her character is tried and purified.In a moment of temptation she learns her own weakness and becomes strong to sympathize with others.The gambling husband and the ultra-fashionable aunt | are extreme types of character that | heighten the interest of a rather sensational plot.The hits at society ways are frequent and éright: \u2018Everybody seems 80 very glad to see everybody else,\u2019 remarked Leigh.\u2018Is each the other\u2019s dearest friend, and are they all meeting after a long separation?Olney laughed.\u2018That {s the celebrated \u2018Washington manner.\u201d It is contagious.You will get it soon.In point of fact they undoubtedly all met yesterday afternoon at the Cabinet receptions, and last night again at the White House, and tu to one they are not friends at all in any real sense.No one has time for friendships in Washington, and it kas to be made up with acquaintances.go everybody tries for as prodigious a list as possible.\u2019 (Paper covers.) \u201c For the White Rose of Arno,\u201d (TLong- man's Colonial Library) by Owen Rhos \u201c Battlement Tower,\u201d is a stirring story of the Jacobite rising of 1743.Soldiers, spies and comyl, author of and highwaymen fill the pages with plot and while the background has been carefully studied.The author says, \u2018 Sufficient weight has never yet been allowed to that part of the Jacobite movement dealt with in this tale: and, \u2018this is the first time that allusion has ever been made in print to the messenger who was undoubtedly despatched from Preston to Wynstay.\u201d The interest centres (as might be guessed from Mr.Rhoscomyl's name), in the part of the history that has to do with Wales and the zealous though futile ef- adventure, historical torts of the Welsh gentry to place \u2018the voung Pretender\u2019 on the throne of Great Britain.(Paper covers.)

WHICH MAKE IT HARD TO TELL WHAT THEY INTENDED FOR.UNFIT FOR ORDINARY WAR UsE AND WITH NO ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PASSENGERS OR CARGO.(New York \u2018 Herald\u2019) Building in one vi the great shipyards of Scotland are steamers about which there is much mystery.In the first place, \u2018the contractors decline to make public the name of the government or steamship company for which these Moreover, while two vessels are intended.| the plans of the two craft make 1t 1m- possible that they should be used in any ordinary commercial enterprise, they are not supplied with a protective deck, covering théir vitals, and theretore it does not seem probable that they can be \u2018designed for warships.They are to be marvels of speed for vessels of their size.Having a length of 420 feet, an extreme width of thirty- two feet from main deck to keel, they have Leen supplied with engines of 12,000 indicated horse-power, calculated to give them a \u2018sea speed of twenty-five knots in ordinary weather.As an English officer who inspected these two vessels on the ways recently said: \u2018There is no space below for anything excevt speed,\u2019 meaning that all her was occupied by ma- carrying rou chinery.Their boilers are placed in a long, narrow compartment amidships, forward of the engines, and unusually large bunkers are on each side, giving that much coal protection to their motive power.An extraordinary system of bracing and strengthening all the bulkheads 18 one ot the peculiar characteristics of these vessels, and it is evident that they will Le exceptionally stiff and strong.There is no ship in the United States pavy with which these vessels can be compared.The \u2018Columbia\u2019 and the \u2018Minneapolis\u2019 are 412 feet long but they have an extreme width of fifty-eight feet and a depth of about forty feet, compared with thirty-two feet for each of these dimensions in the two \u2018mysteries.\u2019 Moreover, aithough the United States commerce destroyers have 21,500 indicated horse-power each, they attained only about a twenty-three knot speed.Of course, the narrow beam and the light draught of the ' mysteries\u2019 present less resistance to their passage through the water than is met by the wider and deeper hulls of the \u2018Columbia\u2019 class, and it :s on these features that they depend for a twenty-tive knot speed from only 12,000 indicated horse-power.In the \u2018Edgar\u2019 class of cruiser the British navy possesses several vessels having the same horse-power as the mysterious occupants of the Scotch shipbuilders\u2019 ways.The ' Edgar\u2019 has a length of only 360 feet, compared with a length of 420 feet in the \u2018imvsteries;\u2019 hut the cruiser's beam is sixty feet and her depth is fully forty-eight feet.Naturul- lv, having a beam nearly double that of the * mysteries\u2019 and a depth fully fifty percent greater, the \u2018 Edgar\u2019 cannot do better than a speed of twenty and a half knots.The normal draught of the two Scotch built crait is not given, nor is their normal displacement obtainable.Probably their dravaht is not more than eighteen feet and their displacement about four \u2018housand tons.They have the extraordinary ratio between length and beam of more than thirteen to one, and with a shallow draught they will meet comparatively little resistance from the water.To insure their steadiness in a seaway bilge keels extend gnore than a hundred and sixty feet on each side, showing that the intention is to run at a light draught.The stern body of these two vessels 1s one of the most remarkable of their peculiarities.\u2018The twin screws dn not project from the counter at the end of long outboard shafts, supported by struts, as is the case in most twin screw steamers.Instead, the afterpart of the ship is composed of two «listinet sterns.extending shaft the above-water structure, and one screw works at the end of each nf these prolonged sterns.The rudder is shipped ju à frame between the two.It would be unprofitable to speculate nhont those two vessels without knowing the work they will be expected to do.While the lack of a protective deck argues against their warltke mission, the fart that they have no room jor rargo and only very limited accommodation for passengers seems to indicate that they may le found cventually acting as commerce destroyers.The secret of their ownership cannot pow be long maintained.and 1f\u2014as is strong'y suspected\u2014it should he found that Russia will hoist her flaz over them there will he undoubtedly a demand in England that the Admiralty build something a little bigger and faster.ARE Ss This picture is made from a drawing furnished the \u2018 Herald\u2019 by an English naval officer.Tt represents one of a pair of steamships, now Leing buiit in Scotland.as it will appear when finished.There are many striking peculiarities about the craft, and the builders retuse all information.ELEPHANTS IN ARTILLERY SERVICE.Great Britain Makes Use of Them in Her Indian Army.The elephant has become one of the most important adjunets of the English He is attached to the ar tillery in every sense of the word, and drags the biggest guns as if they were feathers, keeping a steady pace with the tramp, tramp, tramp of the infantry.He is no laggard at any time, and deep indeed must be the mire and high the barricade which he cannot walk through or demolish.In one respect the elephant in artillery is like Napolcon\u2014he never knows defeat.The officers and men of the Indian army have for vears been working with the idea of making the elephant more and more useful.At first the big beast was used on the fortifications, for hauling timber, and all kinds of tasks, for which his great strength, absolute obedience, and docility were required.The elephant is not a particularly intelligent beast, and therefore his progress has been slow along the lines laid down by the disciples of Mars, Now he

: as well as the mahout, who perches upon\u2019 his giant head, that he is on view and must look his best and stand as straight as the ranks in front of him.Jvery- body who knows anything about ib

which a long line of bullocks would have difficulty in moving at all.Everyone of these heavy batteries which the elephant moves from place to place, consists of four forty-pounders, and two six and three-inch howitzers.sary, a single piece of artillery, in order not to strain him at all, they are sometimes paired or driven tandem.For instance, in such a battery as the one just described, twelve elephants are utilized.These are not all employed in drawing the artillery at the same time, for it is well not to work an elephant too hard, because.if that is done, he is apt to become stubborn, despite his usual tractability.For this reason the elephants are given kindly usage, and, under those circumstances, do all that is asked of them.The elephant battery, or, rather, the guns thereof, is always accompanied by ammunition waggons and baggage.Owing to the fact that the supply of properly trained elephants is limited, bullocks are still utilized as the beasts of draught for the battery accompaniments.The fact that 262 bullocks are required to draw the ammunition and baggage, form a striking contrast between their powers and those of the elephants, for the gross weight of the ammunition and the baggage is infinitely less than that of the artillery itself.NATIVE MAHOUTS EMPLOYED.The British artillerymen do not attempt to manage the big beasts that draw the guns.houts, with twelve assistants, the latter being under the command of an official known as jemadar, or captain.All are natives of India.Then, besides the elephant company, as it is called, there are ; With each battery a jemadar, six sirdars, | and 131 drivers, who care for the bullocks.Therefore, it can be seen that ele- a battery of artillery in India amounts To accomplish this task there is employed a staff of twelve ma- | While one elephant can draw, if neces- | these are two sections of steel of about | the size of the ordinary pine board.At the end, blocking up an opportunity | of egress, are two small steel beams of the size of the scantling.Irom the highest of the sections of steel on the side rises a thin piece of steel to a height which carries it just clear of the elephant.Running from the top of these: small pieces of stecl in the form of the letter V is another steel section, and the whole prevents the elephant from rising or sitting down.He must either , lie down entirely or

administration.Ac cepting as final the recommendations of the commission of six experts (of whom Professor Sargent of Harvard is perhaps the most eminent) made to the Secretary of the Interior, the President withdrew from settlement 21,379.840 acres of forest lands situated in South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, Washington, California and Utah, and proclaimed them as forest reservations, to be guarded

No use whatever.Her friends would say : \u201cWhy, see how anxious we were ; we even brought in a European doctor to attend her.\u201d I remember once being called to a high caste harem.A tiny gir] of eight or ten lay on the floor in a pool of blood.I did inform the authorities, but what was the use ?TI was the cnly witness on my side and all her relatives swore that what I said was not ro.What was the result ?Simply T was uever called to that house again.and that little one was still at the mercy of her fiendish husband, without even my aid and care afterwards.\u2018I said to a high caste Hindu one day, a Iighly educated man, \u201cHow can you treat vour wife so crueliv ?How would vou like to be shut up all your life without either light or air ?\u201d \u201cOh,\u201d he said.\u201cmy wife gets plenty of air.At midnight I put her in a closed chair and have the coolies carry her away to the jungle.Then I send the coolies away, take her out and let her walk around for a while.Oh, she has plenty of air, I assure you !\u201d \u2018Caste is no money matter.A high caste family may be very poor and a low caste family verv rich.And as soon as a low caste man becomes rich the first way he takes to show it is to shut up his women after high caste fashion.\u2019 \u2018Then Rudyard Kipling's picture of harem intrigue in \u201cthe Naulaka™ is not overdrawn ?\u2018Not at all.They think nothing of < taking life, and poison is a favorite means.A Hindu woman once poisoned me and all my household.She was the wife of our cook, a very immoral woman, and T was trying to reform her.But it was no use.I told her the next time she went away I wonld not take her back again.This made her angry, and poisoning was her way of revenge.I was Iving ill with smallpox at the time «nd must have taken much of the poison gradually in my food, but one dav she put in too much.It caused vomiting, and then we discovered what was being dene.\u2018And the Hindus left to themselves are bad enough, but they cannot begin to compare with bad Europeans and those infected by them.Whole streets in Bombay are given over to vice.Thev are known as \u201cthc black street\u201d and \u201cthe white street.\u201d The latter is the street frequented by Europeans.SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1897.1 could never have even imagined such horrors.I could not sleep all night afterwards, I felt as if I had been in hell.\u2018But I must not let you go without speaking of Mr.Wilkie's work in Indore.That is the pride of all our mis- sien work.And Mr.Wilkie is the ideal missionary.So devoted, so capabie and all-seeing, so versatile.Even the very buildings of the mission are jut up under his supervision.And supervision means standing in the broiling sun watching almost every brick that is Ind.If he did not the work would be scampel.And while building work was going on other work did not stop.Ar.Wilkie was here and there and evervwhere, preaching every Sunday to his church, teaching in the school, holding evangel- tie services, thinking for and doing ior everybody before himself.He saw that | everybody else was provided with a com- | fortable house before he attended to his | own.In fact, he would not have done ; so yet if his own had not been literally falling about his ears.\u2019 -\u2014 THE GREEK FLEET.The Greek fleet is not large, but 1t contains several vessels which could give a | goud account of any thing Turkey 1s LT.| likely to send afloat.Moreover, the | Greek officers are credited with ability to use the force at their disposal effectively.The three principal vessels are the \u2018Hvwdra, \u2018 Spetsar,\u201d and * Psara small battleships of 4,885 tons displacement, built in France seven years ago.They have rrotective steel belts and decks, the former from 4.7 inzhes to 11.8 inches in thickness, the latter trom 1.9 inches to 2.3 inches.A breastwork of 13.7 inches gives protection forward, wlwre two 10.6-inch guns are mounted.Ant there 1s a similar gun protected hy 11.8 inches.The * Hydra\u2019 carries a secon: dary battery of owck-firers, and the other vessels were recently sent to Tou- {lon for the purtiose of receiving a simtar \u201carmament, but were recalled.Ite Spetsai \u2018left Toulon on Tel.12, ay ue ently without having changed her Ganech :guns.Greece has two older batt'esiirs, ;
