Daily Witness.SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1897.The Liberal majority in Wright county is officially reported to be 780, or more than double the majority, 382, obtained in the general election in June, when the Liberals swept the province.It appears quite certain that the French-Ca- nadians of this province would now give even a larger Liberal majority in support of Mr.Laurier ana his se:tlement of the school question than they gave in support of him and his poliey in June last.The fact that one of the French-Canadian members of the Opposition has joined the government suggests that in that member\u2019s opinion the electors of the constitu- the settlement._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Alderman Brunet is nothing if not philanthropic\u2014that is with the city\u2019s money.This unenviable characteristic of his was strikingly brought out at the meeting of the Health Committee yesterday, when he managed to get three of his fellow countrymen to vote for paying an outside architect to do work which the city's sanitary engineer could and should have done.Alderman Wilson, Hochelaga Ward ; Alderman Ouimet, St.Jean Baptiste Ward, and Alderman Prenoveau, St.Denis Ward, are the aldermen who sustained this unsavory mo- t tion.In vain Aldermen Turner, Harper and Connaughton lifted up their voices against this ruthless squandering of the city\u2019s funds ; they were in the minority, and to belong to the minority at the City Hall means practically to be without influence, as there is now no such thing as shame to appeal to.One has only to recall how this despotic majority acted when the gas contract, the street railway contract and similar jobs were got through the Council to realize the truth of this statement.It is unnecessary to point out that if one of the four aldermen whose names have been mentioned had had the slightest regard for the premises they made to the electors at the last elections concerning economy in civic affairs they would never have dreamed of insisting upon the city paying outsiders to do werk which its own employees should do.The electors of Hochelaga Ward elected Alderman Wilson to the Council over Alderman Hurtubise because they were disgusted with the latter's voting proclivities, while Alderman Leclere in St.Jean Baptiste Ward was defeated for an exactly similar cause.It is said that history repeats itself.It certainly should do so in the case of Aldermen Wilson and Ouimet next February.Aldermen Brunet and Prenoveau may think themselves secure, but the last civic elections proved that the very aldermen who deemed themselves the most secure were in the greatest danger.BARBAROUS MENDICITY.It appears to be quite in vain that the city authorities are appealed to to put in force the power they obtained at the last meeting of the Quebec Legislature to regulate mendicity on the streets of Montreal.The evil, which has been complained of in many quarters, still exists.Deformed mendicants still occupy their favorite haunts, exciting the compassion 4 NEP PE A dR des Ep EE te EEE ency he represents are now in favor of.These are regularly of the passers-by.brought in the morning to be exposed to the public view, and removed at night, after having received in many instances a hatful of coppers.When this question was first agitated it was found that the city had no power to pass a by-law ordering the removal of cripples and deformed persons from the streets.Among the amendments to the charter asked for by the city at the last session of the Local Legislature was one looking to the granting of power to cover this whole subject of mendicity on the streets of Montreal.There was no difficulty at all about it, and the new power reads as follows :\u2014\u2018The city is empowered to \u2018make by-laws to regulate or prohibit \u2018 mendicity, to regulate the circulation of \u2018 bicycles and other vehicles of that kind, \u2018and to prevent the exhibition of wounds \u2018and infirmities in the streets and pub- All that is needed is that a by-law in accordance with this new extension of power be drafted and carried through the Council, with strict orders that the police authorities enforce it at once.This would be necessary, seeing that there are hundreds of by-laws which are practically useless owing to the fact that the police authorities refuse to take the initiative in enforcing them.The most glaring instance of this indifference is the disorderly houses, evidence as to which has to be furnished by private societies and organizations.The police administration states candidly that they have no intention of \u201clic squares of the city.\u2019 looking for such evidence themselves.They confine themselves to the prosecution of the cases before the ccurts after others, at great expense and trouble, have done the work which is manifestly laid upon the police officials themselves by virtue of the terms of their appointment and by the several by-laws dealing with the social evil.The one thing our policemen seem fully equal to is arresting and imprisoning newspaper bulletin boards, in which they have developed a sudden zeal in the past few days.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA.It seems probable that the sixtieth vear of Her Majesty's reign will be marked by an Australian federation, and it is not impossible that it may be completed in time for the jubilee celebration in London.It will be remembered that in 1891 a convention of delegates from all the Australasian colonies, including Tasmania and New Zcal: drafted a commonwealth bill providing for the federation of the colonies with a federal parliament consisting of a lower house of representatives of the people and an upper house of representatives of the col- cnies.The colonial parliaments could not be got to pass this bill, some rejecting it and the rest making amendments so various that it was seen that the whole work would have to be done over again.In 1895 another convention was held, at which it was agreed to ask the legislatures of the different colonies to pass an enabling act which would give a convention power to draft a constitution which would only need the sanction of a plebiscite of each of the colonies to make law, thus getting over the necessity of requiring the sanction of each of the legislatures to the constitution.Five out of seven of the Australasian colonial legislatures\u2014those of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, West Australia and Tasmania\u2014passed the enabling act and elected their delegates to the convention.The legislature of Queensland, where the agitation for confederation began, and where its strongest and ablest advocate, Chief Justice Sir Samuel Griffith, resided, rejected the bill, and is consequently without representation at the convention.New Zealand has finally decided that the distance between her and Australia, twelve hundred miles, is too great to admit of her joining the Australian federation.The convention wil] meet at Sydney next Monday, and will \u2018begin its labor of framing the federal constitution.It is expected that it will complete its labors late in April or early in May at latest.After doing so the convention will adjourn for thirty days, or at most sixty, to give time for general public criticisn of its work, after which it will reassemble and give it the finishing touches, if any are considered necessary.Then the convention will cease to exist and the colonies will by plebiscite accept or reject the constitution thus framed.If three or more accept the constitution it will then be presented to the Imperial Parliament in the shape of a bill for the federation of the Australian colonies, and upon itg passage the Australian commonwealth, composed of the colonies which accepted the constitution, will come into existence, and the rest of the colonies SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1897 will be left out in the cold until they choose to enter.The greatest obstacle to federation was at one time the protection views of some of the colonies, which thought their prosperity depended upon their power to build Chinese walls between themselves and their neighbors.That obstacle has disappeared, the Australian colonies having been schooled by hitter experience out of protection ignorance and false theories.The next most serious obstacle was the fear of the smaller colonies that the larger ones would override their wishes and interests and the fear of the larger colonies that by logrolling combines the poorer colonies would enrich themselves at the expense of the wealthier, which paid the greatest share of the taxes.It seems to have been finally agreed that in the lcwer house representation should be strictly according to population, one representative for every thirty thousand people.In the upper honse the colonies were to be represented by an equal number of senators elected hy the colony or by its legislature, eight senators to each colony.Thus, state rights are to be guarded an:l representation by population to be also secured.The general opinicn is that if Victoria and New South Wales, the principal colonies represented in the convention, can reach an agreement, the rest of the colonies, and even (necns- land later, will almost certainly be in- chided in the Australian federation.\u2014_\u2014 THE LAST INVASION OF BRITAIN.The discussion which has been raised in Fngland by the determination of the government to proceed with the construction of a fortified line of defence between London and the south coast has directed public attention to a demonstration at Fishguard, in South Wales, to commemorate the last hostile invasion of England.Probably most people were unaware that such an event took place just a hundred years ago, but such was actually the case, and the details are no less creditable to our Welsh fellow countrymen than encouraging to the present generation of Englishmen, should a similar contingency arise.It was just at the time so vividly described by Sir Walter Scott in the \u2018Antiquary\u2019 when all the coast population of Great Britain were on the alert against French invasion and when a bonfire taken for a beacon could arouse the forces of a whole country side.On the twenty-second of February, 1797, a gentleman observed three ships of war, accompanied by a large armed lugger, all flying British colors, passing St.David's Head in Pembrokeshire.in his youth, he inspected them closely, and speedily concluded that their rig was French, and that they were full of trcops.He at once gave warning to the citizens of St.David's, while the suspected squadron moved on towards Fish- guard.Here the small fort was just about saluting the flag, when suddenly the English colors were struck and the French tricolor hois.ed instead.Forthwith the whole dittrict was in a state of alarm, but, as the event proved, by no means of panic.Having been a sailor All valuables were as speedily as pessible carted inland, while the undaunted men of St.David's armed themselves with such weapons as were available.The lead sheathing of the cathedral roof was promptly melted into bullets.Whatever gunpowder was at hand was distributed among those lucky enough to possess firearms of any description, and with such preparation the burghers advanced to meet the enemy.joined by some thousands of sturdy countrymen armed with fowling pieces, old muskets, rusty swords, scythe blades fixed on poles, pitch-forks and any other weapons of offence available, The enemy, whose force consisted of six hundred regular troops and eight hundred uniformed ex-convicts and aweepings from French prisons, had meanwhile effected an unopposed landing at Pencaer, near Fishguard.About moon on the twenty-fourth of February the ships which had brought them, dreading the approach of a British squadron, suddenly put to sea, leaving the invaders to their own resources.Towards evening the lord-lieutenant of the county, the Earl of Cawdor, arrived on the scene, accompanied by a troop of yeomanry and about five hundred militia and fencibles, hurriedly got together, and also some sailors, with two or three cannon.Taking command of the motley but warlike arsemblage, the Farl at once made dispositions for a general attack on the enemy.The French General, whose name was Tate, an Irish-American, appears, however, to have had no stomach On the following day they were for an encounter, and at once sent offl- cers to negotiate a surrender on condition that his troops should be conveyed back to Brest.The Earl would only consent to an unconditional surrender, threatening an immediate attack with ten thousand troops.The ten thousand troops for available purposes of course existed only in his lordship's imagination, but he had rendered that imagination effective by a ruse which is merrily remembered on that coast.Seeing a number of Welsh peasant women viewing things from a hill-top and noticing how well their red shawls and black silk high hats wculd pass in the distance for the uniforms of troops, he set thuse women marching, so that they appeared like countless battalions coming over the hill They entered into the trick with great pereistency, great glee and signal suc cess, and an unconditional capitulation of the invaders was forthwith agreed to.No doubt thc condit'ons of warfare have materially changed in a hundred years, but, as the prince of Parma was accustomed to tell his soldiers, \u2018It is not the length but the point of the mike that kills.\u201d So long as the dauntless bearing of these doughty volunteers of a hundred years ago is emulated, so long will Britain be provided with \u2018the point of the pike.\u201d A silly attempt has been made on both sides of the Atlantic ty create a war scare in connection with the projected southern military line for the London district.As a matter of fact, it 18 quite a hundred years since it was first proposed to construct such a line, but neither financial conditions nor time permitted of such a course being adopted, except locally, as at Chatham and Portsmouth, and instead the sea-coast was dotted with hastily-constructed mar- tello towers, now for the most part entirely out of date for defensive purposes.It may not be generally known that the modern military line covering Sheerness and Chatham dockyards has an extent of about sixty miles, and would require an invading army of at least two hundred thousand strong effectively to attack it.The Thames also is most umobstrusively but actually bristling with carefully constructed batteries, mounted with the heaviest ordnance, and so situated as to provide for a concentrated or cross-fire on shipping passing through the various reaches.The east poast is not of such a character as to invite the disembarkation of invaders, so that the construction of the new works is really all that is required to complete a line of defence sufficiently powerful to delay an enemy and give time for the concentration of troops for the defence of the heart of the empire.ii, A PENNY WISE POLICY.Mr.Fielding has expressed himself on 10 part of his coming tariff with so broad a hint as on the subject of coal, the duty on which he has deliberately set over against the coal duty in the United States, implying that if the Americans would not reduce the coal duty he would not.It is natural, perhaps, that even if Mr.Fielding was an absolute free trader in everything else he should want to see coal taken care of, but he may have been only trying to forestall the interested movement in Nova Scotia against lowering the coal duties by holding out the hope of reciprocity, which may not be entirely vain.Mr.Fielding is a Nova Scotian.Nova Scotia has suffered more from the protective system than any other part of the Dominion.Nova Scotia is a free trade province indeed, but it would like coal looked after.The Nova Scotian premier, Mr.Fielding'a successor in that office, is, like Mr.Fielding, a Liberal, and his government is generally in harmony with the na*ional government ; but he and his government and the Nova Scotia Legislature want coal looked after.That government has declared itself strongly against the reduction of the coal duties, a matter with which it has nothing to do; and it is about to appeal to the popular selfishness by a general election on this issue, A meaner attitude could not be taken than that into which the beheaded Nova Scotia Government proposes to lead that province.If there is any province which has been steadily denouncing protection as a wrong and an oppression, and even a ground for secession, it is Nova Scotia.And\u2019 with reason, too, for under a protection tariff the increase of the population of Nova Scotia, which was for the decade from 1871 to 1881 over thirteen percent, was diminished to about two percent for the decade from 1881 to 1801 But the Nova Scotia Government is willing to wreck the movement towards \u201ce- liverance from this incubus for the sake of the interests of a small minority of her people.In the interest of Nova bs Cl ES à

will oppose At- torney-General Pelletier in that county.Mr.Geo.RB.Smith, manager of the Thetford asbestos mines, has been unanimously chosen as the Liberal candidate for Megantic.oo The Bleu papers have been publishing the most fantastic accounts of the meeting at Ste.Anne de la Perade, in Champlain County, and describing it as a great triumph for Dr.Marcotte, the Conservative candidate.The truth is that the gathering, which numbered over four thousand electors, received Dr.Marcotte and his friends very coldly and even hissed them occasionally, while the en-| thusiasm in favor of his Liberal oppon-, ent, Dr.Trudel, was very marked and completely dumfounded his adversaries.Mr.J.C.Aags, registrar for Montreal East, has been appointed returning officer for Division No.2, including St.James and East wards.= SUFFOCATED BY GAS.\"og - + THE CARETAKER OF ST.JOHNS CHURCH.Thomas Charest, caretaker for the St.John's Presbyterian Church, was suffocated by gas this morning while

cious, sometimes very good and at othare loathing the sight of food.What food I took did not digest, causing: me much discomfort.When resting on my right side the blood in my body all appeared to circulate in my left side, causing great pain in my lungs, and when lying on my left side 1 appeared to have no.blood in |.circulation on that side.My body was at times without sensation, and I have actually burned my hands on a red hot | stove without feeling any sensation of pain.As I was not getting better under the treatment I was undergoing I got low-spirited and despondent, and saw nothing before me but a miserable life and perhaps-earlv.death.- About the last week in March 1894, my brother brought me a box of Pink Pills given him by Mr.McFee, postmaster, and urged me to give them a trial.I began taking them, carefully following the directions, and were helping me.I continued taking the pills, and eontinued to gain in hedlth and strength, my weight increasing \u2018Some nineteen pounds.Complete vigor and sertsation returned to my body, iy stomach ceased to trouble me, .and I felt better than at any previous perfod in my life.I have not had the slightest recurrence of my trouble, and I feel that I || owe my present health and strength to Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills, and with feelings of gratitude recommend them as a medicine worthy of all confidence.This great remedy enriches and purifies the blood, strengthens the nerves, and in this way goes to the root of dis- eàse, driving it from the system, and curing when other remedies fail.Every box of the genuine Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills has the trade\u2018 mark on the wrapper around the box, and the purchaser can protect himself from imposition by refusing all others.Sold by all dealers at 50 cents a box

THE INTERUCOLONIAL AND HALIFAX.Mr.Russell dwelt on the importance to Halifax and St.John of the proposed extension of the Intercolonial Railway to Montreal.It was almost the unanimous feeling of the merchants of Halifax that in that extension lies their best Lupe of securing a fair share of the trade of this country.At present the road commencing at Halifax ended nowhere.The trade Halifax once possessed wag now distributed among thrifty seat coast towns of Neva Scotia.It was promised to Halifax as a recompense for this loss of trade that she was to be made a great seaport and to have its pristine glory restored, but past governments failed to do anything of a substantial character.They required this extension of the [.C.R.so that they might as much as possible ignore all differences of distance.The Maritime Provinces had borne a great burden for the development of the interior of this country.They did not urge this in any sectional spirit, but thev did hope that their friends in the west would remember those sacrifices and when the tine came would insist .on our onlv national highway being administer- el in such a wav as to give to Halifax her share of that trade which now goes \u2018+9 the enrichment of ports of foreign conptries.k - or » ce \u201c > Le Bl So RS da REY Lt IR PERLE LTE NRTA NS lived peaz:ably and harmoniously.Turning to a speech by Mr.Laurier in Wright,~=an which the Premier stated that the settlement gave more actual cer- cessions to the minority than the remedial bill, Sir Charles denied this and read at length several voeuses of the abortive bill to show that Mr.Lanrier's statement was not well founded.He aiso read copious extracts from Mr.Sifton\u2019s speeches after his appointment to the Dominion Cabinet in which the Minister of the Interior clearly stated that the principle of national schools and state control had been left inviolate by the settlement.He understood Mr.Ethier to claim that Bonaventure had endorsad the school settlement, but the Liberal candidate there did not regard this ques: tion ar finally settled, but said he would endeavor to get more justice for his fel- low-countrymen.Mr.Laurier\u2014Whon told you that ?Sir Charles Tupper either did not hear the question or ignored it for he took no notice of it.He paused to apologize for taking up so much time with quotations, but, he added.\u2018as this may be the only oppsartunity of discussing this thing I wish to put the facts on record.\u2019 TERMS OF SETTLEMENT.Sir Charles proceeded at some length to rebut the statement that the laity of the minority in Manitoba favored the settlement, and quoted the result of the provincial election in St.Boniface recently.He went on tn say that the bill which had just passed the Manitoba RT LEA i Te .mere caps sy pt parie as deu ta ES is Seige.EE EE I rg mr 8 CCR RTE RS Fe NSE Re AE?gave a few ironical cheers and Mr.Gibson said: \u201cWe will get along.\u2019 TARIFF AND CIVIL SERVICE.Sir Charles reterred to the tariff revision by saying that he was never so proud ot the National Policy, but he did not dwell on this point more than a moment.The proposed franchise bill he denounced as \u2018an outrage on the dignity ot the House.\u201d He would have hiked, however, to see the expense of the pres ent system decreased.ln connection with the cold storage paragraph, he praised Mr.Fisher for his industry and ability as Minister of Agriculture, but took credit to the late Conservative government for the policy.The proposed superannuation bill ne described as \u2018a blow at the Civil Service.\u2019 They had, he said, seen men occupying the highest position in the Civil Service degraded or driven from their positions.At this noint Mr.Campbell called out \u20ac Vankoughnet,\u2019 in allusion to the fact that the late Deputy Minister of Indian Affairs was forced out of his position to make room for Mr.Hayter Reed.sir Charles wrought himself up to a pitch of great indignation over \u2018the nauseating spectacle of the government sending emissarizs all over the country to endeavor to find canse cf complaint against public employees.\u2019 The Opposition leader grew very warm of legal agents in London from Bompas & Co.to Mr.Charles Russell, she\u201d Was { about in them without a blush on their faces.\u201d He accused Mr.Fielding of making his Montreal statement as to the coal duties for the purpose of influencing the Nova Scotia general elections, \u2018to snatch a verdict from the people of Nova Scotia while they were biindfolded.\u2019 MR LAURIER.THE PREMIER REPLIES TO SIR CHARLES TUPPER\u2019'S CRITICISMS, Mr.Laurier on rising to reply was vociferously cheered for several moments by his supporters.He thanked Sir Charles for his complimentary references to himself, but the whole speech of the leader of the Opposition showed that he was not in a happy frame of mind.He reminded him of the American politician who \u2018cussed, and cussed, and cussed.\u2019 The policy of the government not to dismiss public employees without investigation had its only reward from the Opposition in having the commissioners designated as spies and emissarics.The gov- ermment would.however, continue its policy of not dismissing any man except for cause ; every charge would be investigated and justice shown.The government would keep its pledge to repeal the infamous Franchise Act and revert to the system that has worked well for twenty vears.As to the character of the tariff, no doubt existed as to the line of the government.\u2018They would endeavor to alleviate the burdens of the people, while over the terrible outrage of the change\u2019 at the same time impairing no interests 3e > \u201ca ; which now exist.As to simultaneons polling, it was a principle for which the is his endeavor to coerce the people of Manitoba.It was open to Mr.Guité to persuade Manitoba, but it was not open to Sir Charles Tupper to coerce her.(Cheers.) But after all Sir Charles Tup- per wound up by washing his hands of the whole affair, though last session he was ready to die.(Great faughter and cheers from ministerialists.) He was ready to shed his blood because he expected to make votes in Quebec, but like many \u2018other heroes when nothing more was to be gained by heroism there was.no more heroism.(Laughter.) The Premier dealt with the T.ondon legal agency reference with great scorn.He said: \u2018I do not know what the hon.gentleman means by an emissary to Rome but if he will make a plain charge I will meet him, but I will have na cowardly insiniaticns upon that point.\u2019 Sir Charles Tupper\u2014I based my statement that he was an emissary of the government of Rome upon a telegram in a paper stating that Mr.Russell officially communicated to the government the result of his mission.Mr.Laurier\u2014The hon.gentleman wants to give circulation to a newspaper report.1 am surprised that the non.gentleman, with his experience on the floor of parliament, discussing grave questions should make charges upon mere newspaper rumor.He stated there was peace between the two races of this | country.Thank God there is, but I | have too much reason to fear, if his I statements and his scheol policy were ber for Wright, was introduced and took his seat.The House then adjourned.\u2014_\u2014 VICTORIAN NURSES IN TORONTO.Toronto, March 27, \u2014At the request of Lady Aberdeen, Mayor Fleming hus called a meeting of representative citizens for next Wednesday evening to meet Her Iixcellency to discuss the National Diamond Jubilee scheme for jermins a Victorian Order of Nurses.ae Gove ernor-General may accompany Lady Aberdeen and if nothing intervenes thoy will arrive by train at 7.20 on Wednesday and proceed tc Chicago by the 10.30 train the same night._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014# NOTES AND NOTICES, \u2018A Foot as Black as Your Hat'\u2014\u2018\u201cOne of my children sprained her ankle, which became much swollen and discolored.Some * Quick-cure ' was spread on hnen, and applied: the pain censed at anre, the swelling was gone the next day, and on the fourth day she walked to school as usual.\u2019\u2014Rigned, llenry levers, L.D.s., Quebec.\u2014\u2014# Within the last twenty vears a hundred and twenty new peerages in Great Britain have been created, while fifty four have become extinct.Neariv halt the peers and baronets have inherited or received their titles ten years.within the last det a | io.u 3 ar AT Second Part.DAILY WI MONTREAL, SATURDAY, gg MARCH 27, 1897.THE WITNESS JUBILEE SYMPOSIUM.Stories of Fifty Years Ago.UT LATE DR.FIELD.\"ue Lee, who died on Thursday, March DS ou 5 minetv-enth vear.Was one où Xi etes cidest and most esteemed ct zen~ He was bern on the stand ot st Michael, Azores, on May 1S, 1508.fourteen he sailed Vo clerk in the AT the are nf Dros aid envaved us à er or an hee nine lle vas present at the unposing cere- THE LATE monr.which created Dom Pedro first | Far eror où Brazil.In 1820 he came ts Jioston.where he remained three months.He spent a few days in the home ai Dr.Lyman Peecher.whom he deserihed as a man little in stature and af grear activity, He thus beraime ar- cuantea with Henry Ward Beecher, who was then teaching school, and with Har-: ret.afterwards Mrs.Stowe, Desirous now ni acquiring the English language, he vas recommended to a mission school in tornall, Conneerient, where he spent Cars preparing for college.Tie celebrated ~cbool was founded in!

There is very iittle material at hand xo reconstruct the social life of St.Lonis street as it was in 1847-48.With the doings of the vouthful contingent, among whom were not a few mischief-makers, a volume might be filled with ease.They delighted to put in practice Steele's rule : of conduet\u2014that \u2018indolence is unbecoming any part of our lives after we are out of the nurse's arms.\u201d But the grown people, how is their conversation to be recalled after half a century ?How is the mystery of their lives to be unravelled and the motives by which they were actuated laid bare ?Where is the key to unlock the secrets of their hopes and fears, their happiness or sorrow ?Mac- auley's Soutl: Sea Islander sitting on the ruins of London bridge is a fanciful picture ; but fanciful as the picture may he which so captivates the imagination, it still rests on more facts than are at my disposal in attempting to reproduce shadows.Still, gently gliding through the mists, there are figures which as they come and go assume realistic proportions ; portraits framed in the golden sheen of half-remembered incidents ; ' faces long since undreamed of seeking a fitting place in the dim vista of receding vears.To breathe life into these evanescent forms, placing them in their true relations with their surroundings ; to en- \u2018low them with speech\u2014albeit it may be rnly to say a few words\u2014is a task that walls forth conscientious effort.Several correspondents have reminded me of omissions in the list of residents mentioned in my former letter.Those omitted were Mr.George Pyke, deputy prothonotary of the Superior Court, and Mr.Norman, both residing in a row of cut-stone houses opposite the \u2018Seven Galleries\u2019 ; Mr.Beélinge, a well-to-do lawyer who occupied a small cottage adjoining the same terrace; the family of Mr.Joseph, now clerk of the Court of Appeals, and Mr.McMahon, deputy protho- notary of the Circuit Court, and brother.of the Coroner, both living near the corner of St.Hubert street ; Mrs.Reddy and her son, then in the Bank of Montreal, who lived in Durham Terrace.Town Major MeDonald\u2019s.house was quite close to the Champ de Mars, and directly drington, a most amiable gentleman, who lived next door; was too dignified to descend to such trivial pastime.Going and coming with military precision, his tall, thin, erect figure arrayed in the dashing uniform of the Royal Artillery, with long polished boots and glittering spurs, was known to every resident.His neighbor, Colonel Dalrymple of the Highlanders, was full of fun.After dinner he would sit at an open window and throw handfuls of coppers among the small boys to scramble for ; but as the boys\u2019 knew just as well as the colonel opposite stood Mr.Duncan's residence and studio.Mr.Atrell lived near Berri street.I have been asked if Mr.Phelan who lived in the \u2018Galleries\u2019 was the of Dalhousie square, and my answer is that he was not.Mr.John Phelan, the well-known grocer and long a resident of St.Denis street, came to Canada with a foot regiment, in which he held the rank of sergeant.Mr.J.J.Phelany{ who lived in the \u2018Galleries,\u2019 was a law- ver and journalist, and was about that time secretary to the Department of Fducation ; he was a native of Canada, and was not related to Mr.John Phelan, whem he knew and respected.Among the visitors to St.Louis street who attracted attention were General Gore, then residing on Dalhousie square, and Lord Mar Ker, whose death was re- perted in the English papers the other day.The young ladies and boys of the General's family were well-known to the snowshoers who tramped the desolate snows of Guy's Field (now Viger Gar- did that the coppers had been made al- | most red-hot they used to jump on them, i trying to hold fhem with their feet until + same that kept a grocery al the corner | they got cooler, while the other boys were trying to push away their rivals.IL was like Rugby football with the added pleasure of burns on hot metal.Among the residents of St.Louis street who wore the handsome uniform of the military.clerks were Mr, Sedley of the F Royal Engineers\u201d office, and his son, Mr.Henry Sediey; also Mr.Nicholas Hughes of the Deputy Quartermaster-General\u2019s office.This uniform consisted of blue frock coat with gilt buttons, cloth cap with gold lace bands somewhat like a midshipman's, red or gold stripe on trousers, and, on state occasions, a sword black patent leather belt.The uniform was like the undress uniform of the officers of the line regiments, except that the latter wore a pink silk sash over the shoulder, and shoulder-knots of gold lace.These military clerkships have den), and I remember with what enthusiasm they entered into the fun.Lord! Mar Ker was a splendid horseman, and lost no opportunity of making himself popular ; he was also an expert swim- long since been abolished, the office work in the military departments being now done by non-commissioned officers taken from the regulars.Mr.Henry Sedley and Mr.Nick Hughes were handsome mer and diver, and liked nothing better than to astonish the water-dogs along the | river by taking headers from unexpected .places at unexpected times.One day : while the guests were at dinenr in the Jonagana Hotel, then kept in the old Bingham House at the corner of St.Denis and Notre Dame streets, a solitary horseman with a long, flowing red beard.was seen urging his thoroughbred up the stone steps of the Ionic portico to the infinite disgust of the colored porters who stood about the door.Having gained the corridor, the eccentric rider entered the dining-room, and, after walking his nag leisurely around the table, bowed politely to the assembled company and came to a standstill.Many of the diners who knew it was Lord Mar Ker were not much disturbed ; but others, who were not inured to cavalry charges at dinner time, were very much put out, and among the ladies there was quite a flurry.After making a survey of the dishes and the guests, the apparition disappeared.On the following day His Lordship cheerfully paid Mr.Dona- gara's little bill, amcunt\u2019ng to a hundred pounds or so, for damage done to cileloths and carpets by the horse's shoes THE MILITARY OFFICES.Besides the Town Major's otfice, near the Champ de Mars, there were two military bureaux in St.Louis street, both in Durham Terrace, the Adjutant-Gener- al's office and the Deputy Quartermaster's office.The office of the Royal Engineers was in St, Mary (now Notre Dame) street, in a cul stone building standing at a little distance from the line of the street and which was in recent years turned into a biscuit bakery.At four o'clock precisely all the desks in these offices closed with a bang, the orderlies on duty at the doors, came to \u2018attention, and a few minutes later the heads of departments and clerks sallied voung fellows and the uniform set oft their tall, sinewy figures to advantage.Mr.Sedley, senior, had four sons.The eldest, Henry, was fond of having a little harmless recreation.He would sometimes hire a oab on the stand at Dal housie square, and putting the cabby inside, would perch himself on top and drive past his own house at a breakneck gallop.When remonstrated with, \u2018he used to say, like Hamlet, that he wished to \u2018astonish his mother.\u201d Tt was exciting on such occasions to see Mr.George Paris holding on to the iron rail: ing of the swaying cab for dear life.When the thunder of horses\u2019 hoofs was heard on St.Louis street, it was usual His brother John was of a very quiet disposition.He accepted a position in Boston and made that city his home.Ned Sedley, who remained in Montreal and- became so well-known as a leading \u2018potash broker, was very fond of playing with the smaller boys, generally in the most kindly manner possible, but som- times for the purpose of having a little fun at their expense.He loved to make the little fellows show what they could do in the way of sums on a slate; then he would fairly dazzle them with the superior methods practiced in the Royal Engineers\u2019 office, which he had learned from his father.The general opinion was that Ned was a magician.He made the juveniles ali sorts of promises which he neither kept to the ear nor to the hope.For instance, he would invite all the little boys to go with him for a long walk, telling them on the way, spurious and unauthorized versions of Jack and the bean-stalk, or Jack the giant-killer, and having got them ever so far away from home, he would suddenly take to his heels, leaving the voungsters to find their way back as hest they could.Tt was like the retreat of the Ten Thous- forth into the street, glad that the day's \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 work was done.Captain Ready, who was in charge of the Deputy Quartermaster's office, had a habit of exercising the patience of friends who had come to meet him at the hour appointed for the end of the day's labor.These friends wonld while away the time chatting pleasantly at the door; but when he kept them too long they would look in at his window from the street and call out to him, * Weaddy ! are you weady?\u201d This little joke, though repeated often, never failed to hasten the captain's movements while it certainly seemed to Go pg .pe OUT \u2014 Ti = = \u201c7 Ces \u2014 A CEE CAE Le EUR RE RR AR Ne) NY à NY 3 N ER SA pret ART \u2014 il SAIS ce \u2014 CANS SN Ra Sa = EEE RSS SSSR RS D ap Ax = SNA LU À.f Bp of re Q ; = prépa oh x y ; n A FU 2 A LE 0 5 A 3 ni ROUE 217 à pp | Ol: : 1e 6 cu \"fn (LUE 9 PA ek Pet ou : | 1 Gag | ii ee AVS enr re ro\u201d 7 1 AED M ai VITE | | REE A Ad it gti || Hi Us Lee \u2014 re el THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE.!

\u20191 agent of Molson's and Tate\u2019s lines of Quebec steamers, who was a frequent visitor to the old \u2018Seven Galleries;\u2019 \u2018it is his hobby.\u201d But Mr.Gundlach himself had a hobby\u2014and that was nothing less than psychological research.He uscd to talk about the wonders of mind-read- ing and puzzle his friends by asking them how it was that when people spoke cf someone, the person spoken of would so often appear quite unexpectedly ; this, he argued, happened so frequently that it had given rise to a proverb known to nations speaking various languages.From this he drew the conclusion that thiere existed \u2018a higher electricity as yet undiscovered\u2019\u2014(l am not going to say! anything whatever about X rays.) Mr-| Hughes\u2019s passionate love of out-door! sports was shown at that time by his devotion to Towing.The boat-houses of the Garrison and the Montreal Clubs; slood on the beach opposite the Quebec Gate Barracks, and as he had secured my appointment as coxswain -of -a- four- oared outrigger, we used to go down to the river together.not fit for racing, owing to age and soft This out-rigger was| of his narrative.1 he was very fond of batting and they had no difficulty in catching him out.But the boys never tired of listening to the old Waterloo hero.He was gifted with a retentive memory and the power of expressing his thoughts in a graphic way.Naturally observant, dispassionate, and of quick apprehension, he was better than a book because you could interrogate him, and the stirring incidents of which he had been an eve-witness furnished him with an exhaustless fund cf material for animated description.Whenever he appeared among the cricketers.the stumps were drawn, and all the field gathered round him to hear stories of the great victory.He answered all tie questions put to him with exemplary patience and good nature ; in fact he seemed to be filled with sympathy and condescension, and endeavored to satis fv the ardent enquirers after historical knowledge by whom he was surrounded; and he certainly was not the man to take advantage of tne fact that the fullest confidence wag placed in the truth But notwithstanding all this he would not have proved a good A WATERLOO V wood, but it was used for training pur- pcses and for practice by spare crews.Nicholas took the stroke oar so as to be near me to superintend my nautical education and save the crew from shipwreck.On the first day of my installation 1 ran the boat into rough water, and notwithstanding the covered bow and the combing which protected the well, the out rigger was nearly swamped.I had just time to say \u2018 Mind your oars!\u2019 when the blades caught the little white-caps, and ip an instant the spray deluged the crew.\u2018Where is the young lubber steering to?\u2019 said one.\u2018Do you want to drown the whole concern ?asked another, \u2018That boy don\u2019t know beans!\u2019 observed à third.Not caring to pocket all those affronts in silence, [ said scornfully.\u2018Why, that old corkserew\u2019s no good : 1 could run through this with a dug out \" | At this they all laughed, and as the water came over Nick Hughes's ankles he quietly remarked, \u2018 It's like sitting in a refrigerator.\u201d Then at the word \u201c Give wav!\u2019 they started \u2018to row and the boat shot ahead, while the water that was in the boat rushed to the stern and over my seat\u2014it was just like a refrigerator.A WATERLOO VETERAN, In a little street known as Rousseau street, which is still in existence.but which has been rebuilt since the grent fire, there stood a number of handsome residences, among which Unwin Terrace occupied a conspicuous place.Among the residents in the terrace were Mr.Unwin and Mess-Sergeant Bailey, with his family, including his two sons Alfred and John, who were employed as clerks in merchants\u2019 offices in Montreal.The pesition held by Mr.Bailey was, at that time, a lucrative oae : and his income was such that he could maintain a good establishment.He was a veteran who had smelt powder at Quatre Bras and Waterloo, and was generally regarded as an authority on many points in the history of those two eventful days.\u2018When the lJancers came upon us sud- derily, he said, * there were times when we could not tell if they were friends or foes.We could not tell a blue tunic from a red coat.Doesn\u2019t that scem strange to you boys who have a good eve for colors ?But on a smoky battlefield, the color of a man's coat is mot always seen.Looking through dense blue smoke, red coats change to purple ; and purple is so near blue that it\u2019s better not ta risk a shot till you know.Dut we could make out our fellows by the shape of their caps when they gnt near enough ; and very often when we had been holding back our fire, we found nut thev were not friends at all, and in this wav the enemy got an advantage.You see.lancers, huzzars, and light dragoons, wear the same kinds of head gear in the different services; and their mothers wouldn't know them with the smoke in front of them and the sun shining en their backs.the Duke had written home asking for | different head-dresses, and he certainly \u2019 \u2019 should have had \u2019em.It was usual to give the sergeant an innings all to himself when the youngsters happened to be playing cricket, as 1 saw by the papers that ETERAN'S YARN, campaigner in our elections of the present day, because he did not know a \u2018Rouge\u2019 from a \u2018Bleu\u2019 .A SCHOOL OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.Opposite Unwin Terrace in Rousseau street stood a spacious and well-pre- served country house with an uumistak- able air of respectability about it; such a house as one might expect to meet with in the older and wealthier rural parishes along the banks of the St.Lawrence, in whien the village doctor or nutary had taken up his residence.The avalanche of reddish-brown shingles that iormed the roof was lightened and relieved by rows of little snowy-white windows; aud shrubbery at the high gables, with ves tiges of an orchard and ilower-zarden, ennanced the attraction of its scrupulous- Iy clean and neatly painted frout.0 large brass plate on the door, glistening in the morning sunshine, informed any one who cared to know, that the house was \"Mrs.Marshall and Miss Brooke's Boarding and Day School for Young Ladies\u2019; bat at that time there were no boarders at this school.The classes had been opened :n a house in St.Louis street some years before, where they had been well attended, and the school did not long remain in Rousseau street but returned to its former site.As 1 had the advantage of learning the multiplication table under Mrs.Marshall's tuition I have a vivid recollection of that flourishing establishment.It was on the reassembling of the classes after the summer vacation that 1 had the good fortune to appear on that restricted but rather lively stage.There were between thirty ; and forty youndg ladies, little giris, and | very small boys in attendance; the girls i were all ages, from the little \u2018tot\u2019 up | to sweet sixteen and over.Several other new scholars made their first bow on that auspicicus occasion, among them a little curly-headed rellow with an open i countenance and an exaggerated circular white collar.As soon as the school was dismissed that boy monopolized the attention of the pupils; a young lady, ai- most full-grown, caught the urchin by the arms and hrting him up, set him on a table, the other young people gather ing around to have a good look at lum.The teachers had left the school and the scholars were alone.\u2018 Will vou be my | little husband * ' asked the lady.\u2018No!\u2019 was the empharic reply.* Why not \u201d she asked.* Because.\u201d said the terrible child, * you are blind of one eve.\u201d The : cruel words, alas ! were true.The young woman hurst into tears and for moments turned a deaf ear to the hosts of friends who offered her such words of consolation as the occasion called for.At last when she picked up her satchel and left the school it was not to return.\u201cThe author of all this mischief remained \"alone en the table, everybody turning | away from him.There he stood.unre- penting and unconcerned, a living illus- \"tration of the fickleness of popular fa- | vor.The lesson of that dav.however, | wag not lost upon the tw» scores or so | of young people, who were thus made SON 4 arswer, \u2018it is High Dutch\u2019 The little joke was well received by the class but the teacher had the last word.She said, *1 am afraid you will have to be \u2018\u2019gotten down to the foot\u2019 Miss Brooke then exnlained with the assistance of Walker's dictionary, that the word \u2018gotten, though obsolescent, was still used in such phrases as \u2018ill-gotten wealth\u2019 for the sake of euphony.At that time there was no (Canadian school geography, so we imbibed disloyalty and annexation- ist sentiment from Morse's text-book.The bible was read without comment; but as a correct pronunciation of all proper names was insisted npon no scholar was ever sure of holding the same place in the class for a day; and, as Daniel Webster once said, * There was always plenty of room at the top.\u201d Lind- lev Murray was Miss Brooke's favorite grammarian, and his erroneous doctrine on the auxiliary verbs, so ably dealt with in Sir Edmund Head's treatise on \u2018Will and Shall,\u201d was openly upheld in the school.A most admirable system of tatooirg the multiplication table into the very heads of the scholars, in a manner at once painless and indelible, was in force: it was this: Upon the stroke of twelve, the whole school formed into a circle around the throne, and the head of the class commenced the quick recital of the table in inverse order, \u2018twelve times twelve are a hundred and forty- four,\u201d the rest following until they came to \u2018 twice two are four\u2019 when the school was dismissed ipso facto.What a rush for satchels followed ! This is an ideal plan for learning the table with ease; and the knowledge thus acquired is not easily forgotten.Miss Brooke took under her special charge syntax and the didactic noets: after a few months I was promoted to her class and learned to recite the verses.\u2018T would not enter on my list of friends Tho' gifted with fine sense, yet wanting sensibility, The man who needlessly sets foot upon a worm.\u2019 But my performances in syntax not being so satisfactory, I had to \u2018take back water,\u201d as my friend Nicholas Hughes expressed it; and while IT remained under Alizss Brooke\u2019s care I had to be content with the conjugation of verbs and declension of nouns.I never reascended to the dignity of eyntax in that school.pe QUESTIONS FOR YOUNG MEN.If you treat your mother without much thought, do what she asks as vou fee! inclined, and not if you do not feel so inclined, she is naturally grieved, and that may hurt you; but coming afterwards to think it over and realizing that she has perhaps in the last fifteen years done a good deal more for you than you have for her, there is a suggestion of disappointment, to say the least, in yourself that you should so far forget your- gelf as to act so to one whom you know should have the greatest attention and regard you can bestow.If you scoff at some one's religious views, or make fun of the \u2018old-fashioned ideas\u2019 of others, very likely you are in the right as to the idea in mind, but you cannot fail to realize afterwards that perhaps it was a bad piece of business when you failed to give the other person credit for a little sense, and the general result is a lack of pride in the incident.The feeling resulting from all these situations is much the same, and it goes by the name of loss of self-respect.It is a lack of pride in what you have done, and no one can be on the road to the formation of a bad character who has not begun bv failing to call himself to account for such matters ; no one can really go further on this road so long as he maintains this self-respect.When an occasion requires its use it sheuld be ready at hand.When there is a chance to hit a man under the crowd, if this self-respect gets in its work quickly encugh you are safe ; but there needs to be constant training to put it into such good condition that it can be used on an emergency no matter how sudden that may be.And this self-respect is just as easily trained as in your body for its coming trial in the hundred-vard race.Train it as you would anything else, and John redoubled his efforts, in the hope back into the place just as they had been yg ~ N \\ ÿ li \\ RA 4 9 | o> Za | NE | LIU, sl | > qu li if = # FE ap a CE CIS i a gL A is Ja INA AE NA ESN CI, FERN NTM ZI A AR DY è 4 OER inl 0 AY \\ 6 p A *, PLA LL ES A [0 Ae = Zz.Q R \u201cTR \u2018BESIDE THE BABY STOOD A HUGE GRAY WOLF) of being able to move before the setting in of winter.A four-months-old baby occupied Martha's attention to such an extent that she was not able to give her husband much help.Suddenly she was seized with a heavy cold, which so pulled her down that John, instead of devoting all his spare time to the building, had to help with the house-work and the baby.This he endured with such assumed cheerfulness as he could muster, till at last, one golden morning in the Indian summer, a happy idea flashed upon him.\u2018 Marthy,\u2019 said he, when the chores were done, \u2018 what's the matter with me takin\u2019 baby over to tlie new house an\u2019 mindin\u2019 him there while I work ?The hammerin\u2019 an\u2019 sawin\u2019 \u2018ll keep him amused, like as not.An\u2019 you can git a mite of rest while we're gone.\u2018Lands, John!\u201d exclaimed Martha, viewing such a novel proposition with natural motherly distrust, ¢ wherever would you put him so\u2019s he wouldn't run no resk ?Why, he'd roll himself down stairs, sure!\u2019 \u201cNot by a long chalk !\u201d said John, positively, now quite bent upon his project.\u2018T'll be workin\u2019 downstairs this forenoon.An\u2019 he'll lie comfortable us you please in the shavin's and watch me.He'll be great company !\u2019 \u2018Well\u2014well !' I suppose it'll be all right, if you're set on it,\u201d sighed Martha.And John, when the child was wrapped up, lost no time in setting out.He strode off, whistling gleefully, through the magical haze of the morning; the delighted boy gurgled on his shoulder.He soon reached the scene of his pleasant labors.The baby was propped up carefully on the edge of a great pile cf shavings, whence it watched with round eves the long, rhythmic strokes of the plane as the father smoothed the yellow deals for its future home.An hour or two wore away very pleasantly ; and the work grew; and the baby, tired of following the motion of the plane and saw, fell asleep.Wille it lay, warm and secure, amid the shavings, John Anderson went upstairs and | set.himself to puzzling out a bit of awkward carpentry.He was but an amateur carpenter, and some quite simple left by the wolf.Then he clambered upstairs and sat down on a pile of boards, trembling with excitement.The baby was safe, indeed; but the world seemed to grow black about him with anguish of remorse as he thought how for the moment he had forgotten.Yes, the baby was safe\u2014but no thanks te its father, thought John Anderson.Instead of hiding it in the shavings, the wolf might have carried it away, or might have killed it on the spot with one crunch of those long strong jaws.Then, thought John, how could he ever have gone home to the little one\u2019s mother and told the dreadful story ?While John Anderson was thus reproaching himself, and gazing remorsefully at the baby face, he heard a wolf's how! not far off.It was answered, in the distance, by another, and another, and yet others.Through the chinks of the unfinished walls he saw, presently, no fewer than six wolves come out of the woods and halt for counsel on the edge of the clearing.Then one trotted straight over to the house, the others following confidently at his heels.\u2018Thev\u2019ve come for the little lad!\u2019 thought John, clutching it close to his heart and seizing his keen hroad-axe.Then he remembered that, as the stairs were not yet built, the wolves could not get up to the second story.Tn his relief a curious idea struck him.\u2018 What will they do,\u201d he thought, \u2018when they find there ain't no baby in that there pile of shavin\u2019s?\u2019 The better to watch the sequel without revealing his presence, he lay down oh the floor and put his eye to a generous crevice.Following their guide, the wolves all entered the house without hesitation or subpicion.The leader darted forward and pounced with an eager and hungry snarl upon the heap of shavings.There was a second of hurried scrateh- ing, and the floor was laid bare.Then the animal's tail suddenly drew in between his legs, and he cowered, trembling, to the very floor.i His fellows stood in ominous silence, | and John saw the hair begin to lift | angrily along their necks.They drew | | | à step closer.The leader, however, he- «J especially urge the use of spring

many times my Life was Despaired of.Money which I needed for the necessaries of life I freely spent for medicine but without avall.The family physician gave my case much attention and deep study, but his prescriptions only temporarily allayed my sufferings.1 kept boarders and this obliged me ta be on my feet a great deal, which, ; \u2018of course, was aggravating to my trouble.At length my Right

snarls.The first wolf made a brave fight, but the odds were too heavily against him.It seemed plain to the pack that he had cheated them, and his punishment was nothing less than to be torn to pieces.While they were engaged in carrying out this sentence, John Anderson resolved to take a hand in the game.\u201cIf 1 don\u2019t give \u2018em a lesson,\u201d said he to himself, \u2018this part of the country won\u2019t be fit to live in!\u2019 A heavy plank lay close at hand.Laying the baby to one side, he lifted the plank, cautiously.approached the stairway, and drove his clumsy weapon down upon the mass of struggling wolves.One wolf dropped instantly with his back broken.The others turned to look for their assailant.They saw him standing boldly at the head of the stairway, and at once, their victim being dead, they turned their wrath upon this new offender.With a chorus of terrifying snarls they sprang to the attack, and John Anderson congratulated himself that he had so long neglected to finish the stairs.In fact, there was no means of ascent except the serrated frame on which the stairs were to be built.The two nearest wolves failed utterly to mount by these, and fell ignominiously between.But one gaunt brute, with long legs and dripping jaws, was sure-footed as a goat, and mounted nimbly.John met him, ere he reached the top, with a mighty swoop of the broad-axe, and he fell back to the floor almost shorn in two.Of the original six wolves there were left now but three, and these, after a moment\u2019s hesitation, turned and fled.As they crowded through the narrow docrway John hurled his axe upon them with a woodsman\u2019s unerring aim.The shot went home and another wolf feli.The remaining two, leaving their comrade kicking ou the threshold, darted away into the woods like gray streaks of shadow.\u2018That's a good job done!\u2019 said John, as he gathered up the baby and climbed MRS.CYNTHIA A.EDWARDS.4 +060èe0s 6ù C0000 1 00000H07HH0HH0OH0HO 3H HI

quite heavily.It was not long before I felt a soreness in my hip and I was seized with rheumatism, which the doctors said was due to the strain of the muscles and nerves in the right hip.Some time after this while wearing red stockings, my feet became moist, and the coloring dye poisoned the inflamed flesh on my ankles and in less than 24 hours it had broken out in a running sore.What I suffered no tongue can tell, and until June, 1892, my .Life was a Continual Misery, so severe that at times the pain of combined afflictions would cause me to have fainting fits and spells like lockjaw.Five times gangrene got into my system and 1 despaired of ever getting better.The flesh on my left ankle became badly eaten and affected the bone which was plainly vistble in several places.My finger and toe nails loosened and came off.My hair, which was quite abundant, came out profusely and my Whole Body was so Affected that the least touch would cause a severe itching sensation.1 had not known for years what a night's sleep was withcut some opiate.I lived in torment, dreading dea\u2018h yet dreading life all the more: But I read 80 much about Hood's Sarsaparilla, I decided that J Would Try It.Druggist Huntiey told me that it would re- quire many bottles to cure me, as my case limb in time became completely cured.I have taken about 20 bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla and I know that I owe my recovery entirely to this medicine.The flesh on the afflicted limb is now perfect and smooth and only a slight discolcration remains as a reminder of the dreadful affliction.My hip trouble is cured.I have never had any pain or lost an hour's sleep on account of my ankle from any of the troubles I have mentioned, since October, 1892, The Blessing of Which I ascribe to Hood's Sarsapariila.For Hood's Olive Ointment I have also words of praise.I used two boxes and I can truly say it gave the most soothing relief to the inflamed flesh of any ointment or lotion applied.I hcpe every sufferer whose complaint is in any way affected by impure blood will give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial.I feel very gratefui for the wonderful benefit it has been to me and wish its

few things they tables or feed their stock.When they have solved this problem, they are on the road to prosperity.It is possible to make home so bright and cheery that we forget all about the gloomy weather outside; it is possible to make the farm house such a home that the boys and girls won't want to go to town to live, the first opportunity they get.Farmers\u2019 wives can do thut, and that is no small thing.And then there's the garden.It will soon be time for garden making, and it it is, will have a garden this year.And see to it, that you have a vegetables coming into scason out the summer: ' sack and run the potatoes from end to end a few times, and the sprouts will all be taken off.Turn out and repeat the operation.I can go through a large ES will need to buy in order to supply their : 1 | is to be hoped that every farm in the; country, no matter how large or small | variety of | through- | ; .: It is nothing less than cruelty to ask To sprout potatoes.\u2014 Place one-half bushel in a large sack; gather up the it.Even up the work, and there are few ET TEE M EE ETES pile in a short time.Do not let the sprouts gel over three quarters of an inch long.-0.Shattuck, Orleans Co., Vt.Spring is approaching and it is time to make all the arrangements for the campaign.Plenty of wood must be prepared for the kitchen stove, harness, waggons and farm implements looked to that all are in order ready for usec.Horses or work teams need especial care that they may be ready to perform the required labor.The time for sowing hayseed with wheat or rye is before settled weather comes in the spring and the grain be- ging to grow.This I have proved by experience.I have known clover, as a result of this early sowing, to get its first leaves and encounter a hard freeze.My first impression was that it would all be killed, but the frost did not injure at.or expect a boy from twelve to fifteen to do a man\u2019s work, or even the half of the field, well and good.But if you want your boy to stay with you, de not send him to the field all day and at- | permission to attend the \u2018in peas and beans y inches deep.l roots tach as much work, in the shape of a Ra TN 1511 ARR NS D rates .pr, oh a rE an La RR STR PY chores, morning and night, as should comprise his daily task.But from a purely practical point of view, all questions of right and wrong aside, farmers ought to be \u2018dead set\u2019 against the liquor interest, from the fact that it is the great disturber of business.If the millions of dollars now spent far drink that ought to go to supplying poor men\u2019s families with food and clothing and fuel, were spent as they ought to be, there would be home markets for all that we could raise, and \u2018overproduction\u2019 would be a thing unheard of.Spinach seed may be sown in spring like radishes or lettuce, in the hot-bed or open ground.The chief drawback with this practice is that it does not furnish edible greens till after the appetite for such things has been measurably appeased.A more satisfactory method of culture is that of fall sowing, in a frame or protected place.The plants get a good start in late fall, and are then covered through the winter.Early in the spring the covering is removed and the first warm days bring on an early and appetizing dish of greens.Grafting is becoming a very important study in France, not only in the case | of vines but of fruit trees, says the Paris correspondent of the \u2018Rural World.\u2019 There are special schools devoted to instruction in grafting, and directed by the professors of agriculture of the locality.A school diploma is regarded as a \u2018hall mark,\u201d and ensures the holder certain employment and good wages.Some of the schools are attended in the season by over two hundred pupils.So important is the instruction regarded by the State that soldiers are allowed schools, so that when they have finished their military service they are qualified grafters.Some ladies are said to attend these special studies.Regarding the destruction of weevils Prof.Slingerland | says in Insect Life, Vol.15, page 87; \u2018 Bisulphide of carbon destroys all stages of insect eggs, larvae of all sizes, pupae, and all adults.\u2019 It is only necessary to pour an ounce or so into the beans or peas in the barrel containing them, and cover the barrel with a blanket to keep \u2018the fumes in.Where weevils have obtained a foothold the sooner the peas or beans are treated after harvest the less : will] be the loss, as they commence at once to excavate and leave only a shell when they emerge.Keep lights and fire away as bisulphide of carbon is inflammable.As the horse-radish is one of the first plants to start in the apring, the put- \u201cting out of the sets should be the first work done after the soil is in proper condition for working.If the soil is deep, deep ploughing will be necessary, in order to get long roots.It should not in any case be ploughed less than eight A Wonderful: Offer.| The sets are the small rootlets, which are taken off where the are prepared for the market.These should be cut in even lengths of six inches, and those used that are from one-quarter to one-half inch in diameter.Plant in rows two and a-half feet apart, and one foot apart in the row.Make a hole with a small iron bar or a hardwood stick three inches deeper than the length of the set, then drop in the seed and press the earth firmly around it.When I read some time since of a commission or something of the kind being sent \"to Europe to open the eyes of the Europeans to the value of corn as an article of diet, I thought, \u2018 Dear me, there is room for just such a commission in America in both city and country!\u2019 How often do we find a farmer\u2019s family living in the corn belt that hardly knows the taste of hominy?In the South, \u2018grits\u2019 is an indispensable article of the daily diet, but in the North it is sadly

corn bread tastes better and is more nutritious, if it is made right.REV.ARCHIBALD BROWN IN BOSTON.Close upon the visits to Boston of Mr.Meyer and Dr.Grenfell, says the Boston \u2018 Congregationalist,\u201d comes that of the Rev.Archibald G.Brown, who preached twice at the Clarendon Street Baptist Church last Sunday.The large congregations included some who had known Mr.Brown's thirty years\u2019 faithful and fruitful labor in the East London Tabernacle, which is one of the few great centres of evangelistic influence in the dreary and degraded East London district.His intimate friendship with Spurgeon, whose funeral sermon he preached, and his love for the late Dr.A.J.Gordon constituted another tie between him and his hearers.His ser- mous were simple, direct and evangelical.It is not every man who would have worked steadily and laboriously in this unattractive field for thirty years.Mr.Brown comes of good stock.On his mother\u2019s side he belongs to the Heath family, a name well known in Nonconformist history during the last two centuries, whilst among his cousins are Dr.Cunningham Geikie, author of a well known \u2018 Life of Christ\u2019; Sir Archibald Geikie, the geolegist ; the late John Geikie, Scotch etcher.A happier pastorate no one could have had than \u2018the East End Spurgeon,\u201d but at fifty-four he feels that the strain must be relaxed.He conducted the service in the Tabernacle on Sunday, Feb.21, all the next day he sat in the vestry receiving the people\u2019s thank offerings, which amounted Le SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1897.to four hundred and thirty pounds, and on Feb.24 he sailed for America.He has engaged to preach at Denver, Col, for a month, commencing April 4.Invitations have come from all parts.While perfectly willing to do what he can during this trip, he must have a season of rest.= THE LATE P.CAMERON SCOTT.The late P.Cameron Scott, of ihe Africa Inland Mission, writing to a Toronto friend just eight days before he died, said he was then feeling in good health.He gives this description of the opening of the Station in British Fast Africa: \u2018I always carry the British flag at the head of my caravan, and the natives themselves seem proud of it.1 wouder if you have heard anything at all of our work since we began operations here.\u2018Landing in Mombasa, Oct.27, 1895, where we left for the interior on Nov.12, reaching Nzavi, two hundred and fifty miles in the interior, on Dec.14, where we at once began operations in the shape of building.1 made a speedy trip to the coast again, sent one of the ladies home, brought up Margaret (my sister), and Miss I., and after seeing them comfortably housed, set out for new fields to conquer.On March 11, settled in Sakai, where I put up a small house, invited Brother Hotchkiss over to occupy it, and once more set off on a tour of exploration.On April 11 I opened our third station in Kilunja, where I put up another small house, and Brother Krieger came to take charge.The work has been going steadily forward, and God has been setting his seal on every department of the work, and we can but stand back and wonder, as we behold what \u2018 he hath wrought.\u2019 The letter then goes on to tell of other journeys, and of the opening of the fourth station.But the last words quoted seem almost prohetic: \u2018 We can but stand back and wonder, as we behold what \u201che hath wrought.\u201d \u2019 For eight days after writing them our friend saw the king, and on his invitation laid down his camping outfit and went up to be \u2018forever with the Lord\u2019 And now the call comes, \u2018 Whom shall I send, and who will go for us ?Will any who read these lines answer, as Isaiah did, \u2018 Here am I; send me.'\u2014\u2018

to rival the value of the advertisements.Tidings have just reached the officials of the American Board of the death, at Harpoot, on Feb.22, after a three days\u2019 illness with inflammation of the

been fearless and indefatigable in his work at Harpoot during the horrors of the past two years.He has travelled over the stricken district distributing relief and reorganizing the scattered work, covering hundreds of miles on horseback and living with the people.He returned from one of his Jong tripe only a few days before his death.He was rapidly winning the confidence, esteemn and affection of the people.Following the example of Mayor Pin- gree of Detroit, the Salvation Army in Chicago proposes to farm vacant city lots, and in this way do something toward lessening the suffering of the worthy poor.The \u2018Gage Farm,\u2019 a tract of more than a hundred acres and belonging to the city, may be divided into small lots and assigned to those who will cultivate them.The plan, in most of its details, was explained last week to a select company of influential persons at the house of Judge Kohlsat, by Commander Booth Tucker, and a great deal of interest awakened in it.It is estimated that from an outlay of $6,000, at least $40,000 may be realized.As so much land within the city limits is vacant, it would seem as if there were no reason why it should not be put to some use.Postmaster Hessing, one of the candidates for mayor, wants to have it plahted with beans.The Rev.P.Ireland Jones remarks: \u2014 \u2018There was a clergyman who had been some years in orders in a very happy English parish, in the South of England, and who felt, * Here\u2019s my sphere; my opportunity is here, and God in his own time will give me the blessing which I seek.\u201d To that parish came two clergymen.One of them was Mr.Bambridge.These two servants of God spoke to the audience gathered before them.But the clergyman on the platform was more touched than anybody else.He said to Mr.Robert Lang (one of the speakerg), \u201c1 cannot help feeling that it is my duty to go to the mission field.\u201d \u2018\u2019 Yes,\u201d was the reply, \u201cit is, if you feel it to be so.\u201d \u201c But,\u201d said he, \u201cI have my father in Essex, and I am his only son; I cannot go yet.\u201d Two years passed, and these two, father and son, came to London to the anniversary meeting of the Church Missionary Society.The Rev.Handley C.Moule gave an address.When Mr.Moule sat down, the young man's father, who was sitting beside him, turned to his son and said, \u2018\u2018 Herbert, have vou sent in your name to Mr.Wigram*\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d was the reply; \u201cI thought my duty was to vou.\u201d His father said, \u201cThen send it.\u2019 He did so, was accepted, went to Africa, and is now Bishop Tugwell of Western Equatorial Africa.\u2019 It was in January, 1847, that the Rev.Stephen Johnson arrived at the mouth of the Nim River and opened the Foo- chow Mission in China, which is now celebrating its jubilee.No portion of the report for 1895-96, just published, is more significant of the progress of Christianity in this mission than what the Rev.W.L.Beard writes of self-support.He says:\u2014\u2018 Gen-Cio-Dong, the oldest church in Foochow, is already supporting its pastor and is also paying all expenses of lighting the church, etc.Ha-Puo-Ga has raised its native subscription, and another suburban congregation is talking of forming a church, paying the pastor and helping to purchase land and build a new church.Nearly every call from outlying villages is accompanied Ly the promise from the people to meet part of the expenses of teacher or preacher.It is unwarrantable to build too much on these promises; but the fact that the Chinese, whose fists close so tightly and so naturally over every copper, have already in one instance given up the help of foreigners in supporting their pastor, and the fact that so many are talking seriously about so doing, makes it war- rantable to hope for great progress in this direction during the next few years.\u2019 \u2014\u2018 Congregationalist.\u201d Mr.James Murray, a Glasgow gentleman, who has for eight years been in the service of the National Bible Society of Scotland as one of its superintendents of colportage in China, left + Scotland recently to return to his work.At a valedictory meeting in Sundyford Parish Church, Glasgow, Dr.Elder Cumming said:\u2014\u20181 want you to realize just in a word what it is to have a Glasgow merchant, in the vigor of youth, with the love of Christ in his heart, saying, \u201cIT will devote my life to China, to circulate the Word of God there, and commend it to the people.\u201d And lest any in this audience should be led to say, \u201cYes, but of course he would be well paid for it,\u201d I would add again, and emphasize the fact, that during these eight years this Glasgow merchant has taken no salary whatever, thinking it worth while to spend his life and his means for the Lord.I do not know what you think, but I feel it to be an object-lesson for every Christian man and woman here to-night\u2014a thought worth thinking, a memory worth cherishing, and a suggestion of the question, \u201cDid I ever do one-tenth of that for Christ?\u201d May the missionaries in China be upheld by a praying church at home, and by the abiding presence of Christ in their own hearts!\u2019 A remarkable answer to prayer is re lated by the Rev.Hugh Price Hughes in a London magazine:\u2014\u2018 Not long ago the West London Mission was greatly in want of money, and the situation looked unusually alarming.He invited his principal colleagues to meet him near midnight, and they spent some time \u201c\u2018 imploring God to send us £1,000 for his work, by a particular day.\u201d In the course of the meeting one of their number \u201c burst forth into rapturous expressions of gratitude,\u201d as he was convinced that the prayer would be answered.Mr.Hughes confesses that he did not share this absolute confidence, but believed with trembling.\u201d However, the day appointed came, and Mr.Hughes went to the meeting at which the sum total would be announced, and he savs:\u2014\u201c It appeared that in a very short time, and in very extraordinary ways, £990 had been sent to the West London Mission.I confess that as a theologian I was perplexed.We had asked for a thousand\u2014 there was a deficiency of ten.1 could not understand it.I went home trying to explain the discrepancy.As I entered my house, and was

ROBERT THE BRUCE.Tales of Scotland's struggle for independence in the fourteenth century are still dear to the heart of many a Scot.The dispute with regard to the succession, arising on the death of Margaret the Maid of N was complicated by pretensions on the part of Edward I.of England to suzerainty.Nobles who held lands both in England and Scotland were sometimes on one side and sometimes The country was in con- Nor way, on the other.fusion for thirty years and its civilization immensely retarded.But the valor and patrietism of the Scottish knights and their followers became the song of the for many generations.This most romantic period of Secot- tish history carefully described in a volume of the \u2018Heroes of the Nations \u201d series (Futnam'\u2019s), called \u2018 Robert the Bruce,\u2019 by Sir Herbert Maxwell, M.P.The book is dedicated by permission to \u2018Albert Edward, Prince of Robert Bruce was Earl of Carrick before he to the Scottish throne, his eldest son received whole country 18 made his way and afterwards the title.Scotch as well as English sovereignty the Prince of Wales is now \u2018Earl of Carrick,\u201d and is commonly toasted by that title in Ayrshire.The history of the period under consideration is not easily unravelled from the fragmentary and contradictory Te- cords of the time, yet by a diligent comparison of State papers, chronicles and ballads, a degree of certainty may be arrived at with regard to the general cutline of events, and the general character of the leading actors.One of the principal sources of information js a long poem called \u2018Le Brus,\u201d by John Barbour, Archdeacon of Aberdeen, who \u201cThus as heir apparent to | greater courage end dignity than they did in supporting their monarch through this controversy.Subsequently, the whole influence of Rome \u2018was directed against Robert.He excommunicated after killing the Red Comyn in Dumfries Church, yet after his coronation, the Pope addressed him as King, because he would not receive any papal documents unless they were so addressed.The Pope, however, had to explain to the King of England that this recognition of Robert's title was merely a formal expedient, and added:-\u2014 We therefore exhort your royal wisdom that you will prudently tolerate that we write to the said Robert under the royal title.In the treaty that finally concluded a peace between England and Scotland, the favor of the Church was one of the things that the Scotch sought specially Sir Herbert Maxwell says: \u2014 The uneasiness of King Robert and his people, owing to the repeated exercise against him of bell, book and candle, is apparent in the third article of this treaty.It is true that the solemn curses of the Church had proved singularly \u2018ineftective as regards the temporal affairs of Scotland.The louder and deeper the execrations, the more brightly fortune had smiled on the Scottish arms, .Truly, it seemed as if in this quarrel the Church had made a grievous blunder and chosen the wrong side.Nevertheless .the Church was still, and was to remain for two centuries more, the strongest political force in Europe, and no treaty conld be satisfactory unless it were drawn to secure her favor.(W.Foster Brown, $1.50.) THE ART BIBLE.The \u2018 Art Bible\u2019 is a beautiful production which Sir (George Newnes, the well-known English publisher, has for some time been working on.Almost every page has its picture or pictures.Even in the didactic books where there is no narrative to be illustrated, a picture of some Oriental object mentioned in the text, or a scene suggested by the sacred writer\u2019s reflections enlivens the page.Many of the pictures are from the old masters, others have been drawn for this work by competent artists, making the whole a really valuable collection.While the illustrations are sufficiently good to please an educated taste, it is specially to be recommended that the \u2018 Art Bible\u2019 be not put away out of the reach of the children.They should have it on the floor on Sunday afternoons, and as they turn the pages they will read the sacred text to find an explanation was to secure.| ~ : 9 > \u201d { DATURDAY, Manon 27, 1807, THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.19 | : | QE \u2014 ; = s LITER ARY REVIEW ; of #ts toughness and durability.this white kings of England in the Scottish sovereign- \u2014 + * | anorthosite from New Glasgow has been |ty.The Pope was informed that he had been \u2019 \u2014\u2014 | extensively used for paving stones in the deceived by certain \u2018enemies of peace and RELICS OF PRIMEVAL LIFE; | city of Montreal, especially on streets sons of rebellion, then resident at his = çÇ BY SIR WILLIAM DAWSON.| where there is a heavy traffic.court,\u2019 wherein the reference to Wallace fé (LULU \\ new book by Sir William Dawson Sir William Dawson is mentioned as Jott Pls comprnions lo mot obscure.ne ; aI ig mi having observed in E t a statue of etter concluded that \u2018upon a due conaidera- ! * nm ih ) - just been published in London.8 gyp 5 ê tion and treating ôf the contents of your tent By J .i 3 MIE ie b.a's of Primeval Life\u2019 is a hand.Kephren (the builder of the second pyra- memorable letter, the common and unani- _ oo _ i volume with sixty-five illustrations, \u2018mid) executed in stone exactly similar mous consent of all and singular was, is, ANON ev | \u201cler & Stoughton!

the fun we used to have, rolling on and tumbling over one another; real good times.My mother, although she was kept chained to her house, didn\u2019t seem to be at all unhappy, and rather encouraged us in our play, only she never liked us to wander far away from her.She would often he and hug us in her arms and gambol with us, laughing and pretending to bite, then licking us with her big tongue as if we were all over candy, and lay her big paw over us.I'm sure, if mother could have spoken, like her mistress, she would have given us lots of wholesome advice.As it was, she set us a very good example.She never used to bite anybody but her bark was so big that all stragglers and evil characters were Kept at a civil distance, though she always had a polite, friendly greeting for master and mistress and the children.Cne dav a lady and gentleman and a nice little boy came to spend the day and of course one of the first things for master\u2019s children was to fetch out their little friend to see the puppies, and during the afternon I heard the stranger boy say \u2018I'll take the black one with the white ear tips'\u2014that meant me, but I was too young to understand what it meant.I believe my mother understood though, for I'm sure I heard lier sobbing while we were taking our supper, I don\u2019t know how long I slept, but I dreamed lots about playing and tumbling on the grass (barking in my sleep until my mother laid her big paw on me and woke me up).Just after that 1 felt myself lifted up and laid on some soft hay Jn a basket and the lid shut down on me.1 felt I was being carried away out and my house set down in a carriage or something.Then I heard a lot of good-byes and I was off.Youth is naturally thoughtless and 1 goon fell fast asleep.Next thing IT knew I was lifted out and 1 heard Freddie telling some other people all about me.I was passed froin one to another, stiok- ed and clapped and \u2018 poor-fellowed.\" As for a name\u2014they called me Pudge, and Fattie and lots of other things.Next morning I felt very lonesome and couldn't help crying (vowling they called it) for mv dear mother.Master Freddie brought me a nice breakfast and plaved with me a while, but when he went to school was the worst time, for whenever [ cried the stable boy whipped me.He said that was the best way to make me stop it.But I think even now it was rather a cruel way.However, all the rest were kind to me and I soon grew contented.Freddie used to take me out for a run.but forbade me ever going outside of the gate, and indeed I should have minded him for I was well treated, well fed, and the children often plaved with me, so I was a happy little pup.But I had a great longing to see the world outside that gate, so one day I found it standing open and I ventured to go through it.The very first thing I saw was a little grav cat.She said, \u2018 Me-ow,\u2019 and as I had always been taught to be polite I answered with a glad \u2018bow-wrw,\u201d at the same time running close to my new- lv found companion.But, oh, crickey ! crickey ! that cat fairly flew at me\u2014seratching and biting till T thought she would blind me.or have.my ears off.And poor me had made up my mind to be so sociable.We were soon_separated, however, for I found myself being caught up and carried, not in the arms of my little master.but of a great rough bov whom I had >ften seen peering in at our pate\u2014a sus picious looking character all over from his dirty face to his muddy unlaced boots: Oh, how I now regretted disobeving my little master bv going outside that gate ' \u2018 Hullo.Ted,\u201d said a httle boy who net us, \u2018where did vou get the dog ?\u201d \u2018He's not a deg.vou.he\u2019s a pup, and he's my own.I'm going to drown him in the pond, so get away.\u2019 You may think what mv feelings were yn hearing this.TI thought first of hit ng.so» that he would drop me.but rvhenever I moved he grabbed me tight- Tr.I know the tears were running down \u2018rom my eves as T lay trembling with \u2018ear at my fate.T tried to jump out sf the bhov's «rms hut he only squeezed me tighter til T thought my poor ribs vould be hroken, and [ was afraid to grow] for fear he world thrash me.At last we came to a groecer\u2019s shop.vhich he carried ma intn.and asked the nan at the counter ta buv me.T didn\u2019t like the look of the place a dit-\u2014nor the semolls-fangh !

But next day I was put to work, I was harnessed to a little sleigh i and taught to haul loads of wood from the nearest bush to the house\u2014this I had to do every day.But we don\u2019t mind working when we are well used.I had a good home, plenty to eat and lots of play with my young masters and mistresses, and when the snow went away there were green fields to run in and a river where I used to be sent after sticks.Oh, it was fun' But one day a grand-looking gentleman came to the house, whom the children called uncle, and all seemed so pleased to have him there, he was so kind and jolly.He took quite a fancy to me and said he would like so much to have such another dog to take home to England for his boys.I don't know how it was all settled, but before this gentleman went away, he put a handsome, bright collar on my neck and called me his beauty.I often saw my little masters look kind of sad at me, and Sissey used to throw her arms round my neck and ery quietly.However, I guess their uncle made it up to them in some way, for they were very fond of him.At last he took me on to a big ship where for days and nights nothing could I see but water all around.Oh, how I used to wish I could jump off and have a run in the fields again! By-and-by we came to land with a big town on it.We got off the ship and drove in a sort of a carriage all day.1 would rather have been allowed to run behind the carriage, but I suppose my new master was afraid of losing me that way.It was quite dark when we came to a grand house and garden, and a man took me into a stable beside the horses and I had my supper.Next morning my master came to see me, bringing two boys with him.They took me out and we soon got acquainted with each other, so that now, althoygh I have only been a few weeks here, I feel quite at home and hope never to leave.The boys take me out to play in green fields, and sometimes when the ladies go driving I follow their carriage, and some day perhaps I may see the Queen.Meantime, I am your very happy BRUNO.TO DRILL HOLES IN GLASS.The \u2018Bulletin d\u2019Apiculture,\u2019 states that holes can be easily drilled in glass with an ordinary drill, if the spot is | moistened with a few drops of a mix- (ture composed of twenty-five parts of | oxalic acid in twelve parts of turpentine.Keep tightly corked.\u2014 Popular Science News.PrN 2 ae THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Puzzles.A FEW WIRE PUZZLES AND HOW TO MAKE THEM.(H.F.Hpbden, in Boy's Own Paper.\u2019) Some of the most simple toys are the most amusing, and I think puzzles have always held a prominent place in \u2018Toy- land,\u2019 so I will describe a few which have the advantage of being easily made, | and the cost is next to nothing.These if nicely made can be introduced at a party, or when friends call on a dull afternoon.they will afford considerable amusement.and tax the skill of all those who handle them for the first time.The material required is simply a hank of moderately stout iron wire, and if you buy that with a tinned surface it looks better and is nicer to handle and costs but little more, and then if you have a pair of cutting-pliers you can start the job.The first puzzle we will call the \u2018Gridiron and Tongs.\u201d It is a very simple one, and consists of only two pieces of wire.Cut off a length and bend it up J a ls S Figure 1.into a sort of key pattern with the pliers as at À (fig.1), and finish the end off by bending a loop or eye round the standing part as shown.This may be soldered together if wished, but bending is quite sufficient if you tell your friends that with these puzzles no force is required, and that the wire is not intended to be bent out of shape in any way, one piece being easily disconnected (when you know the way) without force being necessary or allowed.Now take another length of wire, and bend it up to form the \u2018tongs,\u2019 first passing it through the \u2018gridiron,\u2019 as at B, then give it a twist, and spread the ends to form the handles, and it is complete.The puzzle is to get the tongs away from the gridiron, and is very simple, and easily done.The next we will call the \u2018Hourglass and Ring\u2019 (fig.2), and is more trying to one\u2019s patience.It consists of three pieces, two bent to the shape of A, B, and hinged together at C, C by bending Figure 2.the ends into eyes ; another piece of wire is then bent into a ring of a size too small to pass over the ends À, B, and is passed round outside the central portion, and then hooked together at D or soldered neatly.The puzzle in this case is to get the ring off the hourglass, and remember, no joins are to be unhooked.The next one will doubtless prove attractive to somebody\u2019s sister, as here we have Cupid's Baw entangled, with a Figure 3, very open heart, and the puzzle is to get it away.This puzzle is also pieces À, B, C (fig.3).» The ends of bar or arrow À are bent up into diamond shape, and made too large to pass through the looped ends of he bow B; the wire of heart C is then passed through B as shown, and fastened together at the point, and it \u2018s.ready for your sisters to puzzle over.made of three Figure 4.The next one we might call the \u2018Salt- RE CER Aho et Rp 8 a spoon and Eggwhisk and consists of only two pieces (fig.4).Take the piece A first, and bend it into a handle at A, and then over at E, and round into a gradually enlarging spiral, finishing off the end by bending it over at the last turn, as shown at D.Now form the spocn handle as at RB, and bend up the wire and pass it through \"the top coil of spiral, making the part of spoon \u20ac to pass through the centre of spiral at E.The puzzle is, of course, to get the spoon away from the eggwhisk.Now have a try at these, and if you can handle the pliers well you may easily make these four puzzles in half an hcur, but I think you will spend considerably more than that space of timæ in finding out \u2018the solution, which I think I had better leave you to discover for yourselves, remembering that joins are not to be pressed open, nor is any forc: necessary in getting one portion away from the other.;

that the electrical appliances are out of repair, apparently worn-out, the noise when in motion being unbearable; and that the roofs are often leaky.If a motorman were perched aloft with an umbrella of generous proportions, in wet weather, and particularly when cars are passing through the subway (where the liquid falling contains a substantial admixture of soot and oil), one of the sources of complaint | might be obviated.We have thought the aldermen of the ward might interest themselves on our behalf, but for some reason or other they aprear to be indifferent or helpless in the matter.(By the way, when do the next municipal elections take place ?) We want as good cars as other routes in the city, and must have them if, according to the charter, we are entitled to them; and we would like to hear from the manager of the street railway, through the press, if it is the intention to use the old horse cars for the Ontario- Wellington route, until they are only fit for the dump; or are we going to get modern cars, and if so, when ?The excuse for the bad service to the \u2018Point\u2019 has been that lower cars were necessary for this route; but since it was decided and promised so long ago that new cars would be built, one is tempted to ask: Does it take longer to build low cars than high ones ?as it is certain that many new high cars have been put on other routes in the meantime.Certainly, if the time taken to produce these low cars for the \u2018Point\u2019 is to be any measure of their excellence when they do appear, we may expect them to be \u2018As THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.Ce Gold Mining.THE GREAT IBEX OF SLOCAN w= | SHIPPING MINE.SMELTER RETURNS GIVE $83.91 VALUE PER TON.CAPITAL STOCK = = = $300,000.Divided into 1,200,000 Shares of the Par Value of 25 Cents Each.Stock may be secured by depositing $6.25 (25 percent) on each 100 shares\u2014the \u2018balance being payable in 30 days.Certificates may be sent through any bank with draft by express, C.O.D, for balance due.PRINCIPAL OFFICES AT KASLO, B.C.- - - - - - \"OFFICERS: MINES AT WHITEWATER, B.C.President\u2014 MAJOR SAMUEL B, STEELE, Supt.North-West M.P., McLeod, Alberta.Secretary \u2014DAVID W.KING, Publisher \u2018\u2018 Kootenaiau,\u201d Keslo, B,C.Vice-President -R.W.BRYAN, Supt.Kaslo and Slocan Railway, Kaslo, B.C, Treasurer\u2014~FREDERICK STEELE, of Steele & Co.Winnipeg.The Ibex Croup includes the following claims: dale\u201d and \u2018* Cilt Edge.\u201d follow the dip beyond his claim, pT 7 ; 7 E Owning an¢ working \u201cigh! full claims, with ; tunnel proposition cutting anne Lite sentences.nat atnwart the BOL tone fr.; ay, absolute peace and security through every ledge on the whole eight properti Loeee im England we have about : Till the diamond eyes of heaven pl be an assured fact, end a vast ex- 8 y 8 8 P per 165, Tem np risoned for life, but Italy Look down on the bond and the free; ent of a valuable mineral and agricul- 13,063 under lie-sentences.There is Put pee the stars through the prison tural country will be thrown open to, é stat rumishment, and no ticket-of- : so what are they all to me?and there will be plenty of room for, N Co eaten This accounts for the diggers and immigrants, who will, no 4 Zooagarezate of hfe prisoners, Here As the flowers have lost the perfume, doubt, flock here in thousands.\u2019 CEE a Near, evn ume, bree je sll \u2014 w = 2 Weex, without Christ and with _And harsh the song bird's thrill.i { copes drerelle having neither * pro-.For.the mighty voices of nature, THE RICH SULTAN.: : ® e .>, «of tes li, nor ot | caven.of earth.of sea.: : ; < | : Have naught of cheer for the prisoner\u2019s| The Sultan is reputed to be one of the q N ; THE LIFE THAT IS TO COME.\u2019 What! what are they all to me?richest.men in Europe.He receives .Rr i oy) .pe Po somet illi ] !

but the guy snapped, and with a dash of speed he ran swiftly twenty-five feet to thirty feet further, and said, \u2018 Descendez vous !\u2019 The perspiration now stood out on his neck and shoulders in great beads, and we balanced ourselves on the swaying rope.Presently he said, ¢ Allons, and I raised myself to his shoulders, and we went on safely and without further accident toward the shore.It was not, however, until we landed that I appreciated what we had done.Then it occurred to me that the man who pulled the guy-line must have been one of those who had bet that the feat could never be accomplished, and my indignation mastered all other feelings.You see, many thousands of dollars were bet upon the ability of Blondin to carry a man over, and human cupidity stops at no sacrifice.Then came the congratulations and praises, so that in my foolish boyish elation I soon forgot everything else.I shall never forget the wonderful tableau which the hundred thousand people A SETTLER\u2019S VIEW.AGAINST THE PROPOSED DUTY ON PULP WOOD.{To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I am writing to inform you that | the settlers of Algoma are of the opinion that the proposed duty of two dollars a cord on pulp wood would be most injuri- eus.When the : Pulp Company built their pulp mill at Sault Ste.Marie we naturally expected that as they could get the wood so close.they would pay a better price than had been paid previously.Instead of this, they are only paying $1.75 a cord at all stations between Sudbury and Sault Ste.Marie, whilst Mr.Frank Perry, who ships pulp wood into the United States, is paying $2.50 a cord along the water's edge of the north shore.We protest against being left to the tender mercies of the Sault Ste.Marie Company.The municipalities in this part of Al goma have all petitioned against the proposed export duty.What are the arguments in favor of the proposed duty ?1.The employment it will give to the workmen employed at the New Canadian Pulp Mills.9.That the result of the new mills which would be built would be that competition would follow and that the settlers would get a ltttle better price than they do now.3.That it will retard the exhaustion of the Canadian forests.Sault Ste.Marie Power and than to burn it when clearing the land ?Again, if new mills are built in Canada will not the increased manufacture of pulp in Canada balance the diminished export, and the exhaustion of the Canadian forests be as rapid as it 48 now ?I have been a subscriber to the \u2018 Witness\u2019 for over eight years, and have ad mired the noble stand that you have taken on the side of free trade and tems perance, and now appeal to vou to use the influence of your excellent paper on behalf of the settlers of Algoma and other new districts who need all the encouragement the government can give them.- JOHN BURLINGHAM.Slyvan Valley, Algoma.\u2014_\u2014 IF YOU BREAK THE LAW SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT.(To the Editor of the ¢ Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014The administration of the license law by the Quebec government is a scandal.The very fountains of justice have been polluted by their interference.Any one with a political pull could snap his fingers at the decision of the Courts.On the other hand, any one without ; influence, or who was known as an op- pcnent of the government had the full penalty of the law visited on his shoulders.The penalty for contravention of the license law 1s a fine of $150.00 and costs, or three months in jail.Only in Que- bee, among civilized countries, can the decisions of the criminal courts be suspended by outside interference.The following instances are gleaned from the journals of the Quebec Legisla- and there is no evidence that any steps have yet been taken.Mr.David Roy was fined for the same offence in 1893, and was still unpunished at the end of 1895.Mr.Roy was an employee of the Provincial government, but did not lose his situation.Or Dec.3, 1896, Mr.Atwater replied to'a question from Mr.Dechene that Mr.fdouard Cauchon had been fined on Sept.25, 1895, for selling liquor without a license, and tersely added, \u2018 Penalty not vet \u2018paid.\u2019 Mr.Cauchon is a well-known (Conservative worker of Chateau Richer in the county of Montmorency.The government seems to have taken a dislike to this kind of questioning,\u2019 for when interrogated as to the course of the law in the cases against Wm.Coleman, | Angelique Dorion, Nellie Connors, David Bond, Thomas MeBrearty and Wm.Kearney, all of Montreal, Mr.Tessier, M.P.P., was curtly told by the Hon.Mr.Atwater that he would have to move for the production of the documents in each of these cases.The journals of the House are thus free from any information on these cases, and temperance people who want to know something of the administration of the law on these mat- tera will have to apply at Mr.Atwater\u2019s office in the city of Quebec Mr.Morin, M.P.P., of Charlevoix, was, however, a little more successful.He was told that Mr.Joseph (Guay in his county was fined and only required to pay $24.80, the enforcement of the bal- | ance of the penalty being \u2018 under advisement One of the Hon.Mr.Beaubien's constituents, Mr.Joseph Levy Janelle, was let.go scot-free by the government on the patriotic ground that he only sold \u2018 pative wines,\u201d without a license.\u2018 It is well known that for many months the illicit sale of liquors has not been in- BETTER GOVERNMENT IN CANADA.A REPORT THAT HAS REACHED GREAT BRITAIN.In a speech before the Colonial Institute on Australia by Sir J.A.Brassey, the speaker made the following allusion to the change of government in Canada: \u2014\u201c Victoria is a magnificent country.Allusion has been made to its troubles; but, by God's blessing, they will pass away.I venture to think they have been grounded on deeper and less obvious causes than the superficial and temporary ones to which they are usually traced.We seem to want a larger number of really statesmanlike representatives to govern the country.There are many men of high ability and character in Victoria; but I do not find them so largely enlisted as I should like to sce in the service of the State.1 am told that in Canada this used to be the case, but the democracy, with robust good sense, has come to see how great mis- chiefs may be wrought by party and.class legislators.We want in Victoria ! the wrong \u201c spirit\u2019 cast out, and a better spirit introduced.\u2019 \u2014_ ABOUT CORONETS.A peer\u2019s coronet ought to be of gold, of ccurse, but is usually of copper gilt ; while \u2018pearls\u2019 are a purely heraldic expression to indicate an adornment, and not a jewel.The balls upon the cor- onels of all peers below the rank of! duke are formed of large spheres of silver, and are technically called \u2018pearls.\u2019 There_is much that is curious about coronet lore.Thus, for instance, foreign nobles make no use of the crimson velvet cap, which makes of the English The rea- | rides through the finest scenery i PERILOUS FEATS.|| Ti TRE Gam | 3 \u2014 RO _ Her Tribute to Lord Aberdeen\u2019 T 5, = er Tribute to r erdeen\u2019s = ACROSS NIAGARA RIVER ON BLON-| |, ÎLE : 7 we 4 ~ 7 !

It appears that in 1892 one Charles S.Riverin of Quebec was condemned for sclhing liquor to a minor.On Dec.19, 1895, Mr.Taillon informed the House that Mr.Riverin had not yet paid his fine.For the same offence, committed in the same vear, by one Pierre Allaire, the same Minister nonchalantly informed the Hause and the country that the sentence had not been enforced.Mrs.Albert Barry, fined in 1892 for selling liquor without a license, was unpunished three years after her sentence, : t 1 tg Aa ce 0 Le ATTA 9 EE SR ve IAE RUE ST di TO i gi the law of the land was enforced.- This prostitution of justice should arouse the meral elements of the community to show that their power is more powerful than that of the law-breakers.WwW.\u2014 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 BEES ROUTED THE TROOPS.Lord Roberts tells this amusing story in his \u2018 Forty-one Years in India\u2019: \u2018A curious incident happened at the Alam- bagh.I was employed insMle the inclosure, when all at once 1 heard a noise and commotion some little distance off.{retting on the roof, 1 looked over the plain and saw our troops flying in every direction.There was no firing, no enemy 1n sight, but evidently somethin was wrong, so 1 mounted my horse aud rode to the scene of confusion, where 1 found that the 1gnominious flight of our troops was caused by infuriated Dees, which had been disturbed by an officer of the 9th Lancers thoughtlessly thrust- Ing a lance into their nest.There were no serious consequences ; but the Highlanders were heard to remark on the unsuitability of their dress for an encounter with an enemy of that description.obi aot tar i re ie Rie suv Then,the moment the Archbishop Can.terhury places the diadem upon the head of the newly-consecrated monarch, every | peer in Westminster Abbey instantly dons his coronet.In such little estimation do some peers\u2019 hold their diadems, that it will be re- | membered that a noble who died a year or two ago left a memorandum in his, will that his successor would find the | family coronet in the cellar.| > THE LONGEST RAILWAY BRIDGE.!
