which teachers can be authoritatively constrained by their ecclesiastical environments to walk, but it appears that for the most part the constraint will have to be purely of a moral sort.THE RICHMOND WETS.The liquor interests of the town of Richmond have filed a petition for the repeal of the Dunkin Act in that town, wherein they show a persistency worthy of a better and more hopeful cause.The arguments on which they have obtained, if they have obtained, the requisite mum- ber of signatures, have been two : first, the universal one that there is far more liquor sold under the Dunkin Act than there would be under license, and, secondly, that they will consent to the town of Richmond charging them two hundred dollars each for their certificates in addition to what they will have lo pay the Provincial Government for their license fees.These arguments amount to this, that the liquor-dealers are urgently and persistently desirous of paying the heavy license fees exacted by this province and paying two hundred dollars a year each to the town in order to do less business than they are now do- tng.It is always asserted that the license would confine the trade to fewer places ; but how it would do this doea wot appear.In addition to the places that shall pay licenses it would be at least as easy to do an unlicensed business as it is now.There are probably more unlicensed liquor shops in Montreal than licensed ones.The one reason why these liquor-dealers want to pay license is that they may sell more freely, as they certainly would.But what makes this demand pathetic is the utter hopelessness of it.This no one should know better than they, for they have tried the thing before and found that under the laws of Carada it cannot be done.They have tried over and over again to get the laws altered and they could not.The county of Richmond passed the Dunkin Act twenty years ago, and has been under it ever since, though it has been repeatedly attacked.This was done in 1879, two years after it was passed, that 1s, as soon as it was permitted, but the act Hopeless of carrying the county, the people of the then village of Richmond in 1882 got the Provincial Legislature to erect them into a town and then proceeded az a town to repeal the Dunkin Act, which was their only object im getting a town charter.The Provincial Government, being a party to-this proceeding, recognized the repeal and issued licenses.Those selling under these licenses were had before the courts and there punished as breakers of the Dunkin Act, the licenses being pronounced null and void on the score that there was no provision in the Dun- kin Act or in the Scott Act for the repeal of the Dunkin Act by any lesser constituency than that which had passed it.In consequence of this decision no more licenses were issued.Amendments to the Scott Act were from time to time sought at Ottawa through Mr.Ives, who was in complete accord with the efforts of the liquor men, but nothing was gained.The act was again assailed in the county in 1888, it being admitted that it could not be dealt with by the town.It was sustained by a much larger majority than ever before.The present effort to revive the struggle in the town of Richmond is under existing legislation hopeless.\u2014 THE SEAT OF POWER.It has come to be accounted one of Lord Salisbury\u2019s great sayings that the power is departing from organized gov- emment and rests with those who have the shaping of public opinion.As not all those who have the ear of the people devote themselves, except in a remote way, to shaping the policy of the state, this declaration of the premier of the British empire means that political power at the present day lies with the press and the political orator, but, by all odds, specially with the press.There are no doubt parts of legislative policy in which the pulpit also takes a hand.Such in Canada has been the school question, particularly among the Roman Catholics, and such is the liquor question, with regard to which the pulpit does not scruple to speak plainly.Such, in Great Britain, has been the school question of the United Kingdom, in which the pulpit of the national church and that of the free churches, as the various dissenting bodies now call themselves, have been and continue\u2018to be heard very loudly in opposite senses.Such sometimes are questions of purely national interest mg mime a when they seem to involve the primary laws of Christianity.The British pulpit is just now ringing very widely with reproaches against the policy of peace which the British Government, in attempted harmony with the great powers, and to the repression of a small power, is, for the time being, committed.The effort of the Roman Catholic pulpit to shape public opinion on the school question has revealed something the reverse of power.It has, however, by the force of reaction created a public opinion such as never existed before and a self-consciousness of power and responsibility on the part of the people which will evermore be ready to be appealed to.The weakness of the pulpit on this occasion lay in the fact that the clergy did not appeal to the convictions or judgment of the people, but to their own absolute and dictatorial authority.The power of the pulpit is great when used, not on behalf of ecclesiastical authority, but to beseech men on behalf of God for their own good, which, according to an apostle, is its true function.In this form it has had untold value in the promotion of good causes.If it has, as a rule, less political power than the average political organ or orator it is because the tasks to which it addresses itself are of the uplifting sort, whereas the appeals of the politician are for the most part to that which jumps with the momentary whim of the people or with men\u2019s selfish- ress and antipathies.Those who use these methods are commonly spoken of as practical politicians because their object is to \u2018get there,\u2019 which they often do.But looking at things in a larger way, they are the least practical of all men.Appeals to pasgion in the interests of selfishness are purely destructive forces.The only thing really practical is that which upbuilds, and building up is a slow and toilsome task.The great force of the present day, however, is the press, and what shall we say of that power misused ?We are not sure but that the very most ignoble use of the press is that which panders to the tastes of the people for gain.A newspaper may either be thus used for purely sordid purposes or it may be an organ.The organ seems at first sight a meaner concern than what claims to be an imdependent journal.\" It is an advocate bound to a party or to an interest to advocate it in return for some form of sustenance.But are not the men who invest in a newspaper, or is not even the party which supports a newspaper for the purpose of winning the people over to a cause, in a nobler position than those who simply cater to men\u2019s appetites without any desire to win them to anything except to buying their paper?Many of the greatest so-called successes of journalism in our Jay are obtained along this latter line.Whichever of these two kinds of journalism is the best, neither of them realizes the real The newspaper that has real power in it is responsibility of a newspaper.the one which never uses its influence in its own interests or in any interests but these of the people, and which has a set purpose to maintain the right before men, whether it can make money or not.Such a one may not seem to be a great shaper of public opinion, because it seldom blows with the popular breeze.But if the little ephemeral currents are generally against it, the forces of the ages are working with it.It is working on the side of that which is to be.It is therefore, as we have said, as far as journalism goes, the only real power.Net only is government in our day helpless when not supported by the convictions of the people, but even law is being persistently, and with some reason, proclaimed vain and inert under like circumstances.To support that part of public opinion which favors good government and good laws is true patriot- itm.To support immonmulity in government and to flout at good laws is true treason.\u2019 \u2014\u2014pr BRITAIN IN CYPRUS.It

Montreal Proposes to Celebrate it.MANY VIEWS EXPRESSED AT THE GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING.RESIDENCE, HOSPITAL AND OTHER SCHEMES.The general committee in connection with the celebration of the Queen\u2019s Jubilee met in the Mayor's Chamber at the City Hall yesterday afternoon to receive reports from the various sub-committees and decide just what form the celebration should take.The Mayor presided, and among those present were Sir Donald Smith, the lon.Alph.Desjardins, the Hon.J.D.Rolland, the Rev.J.Edgar Hill, the Rev.Dr.Shaw, the Rev.Canon Bruchesi, Archdeacon Evans, Rabbi de Sola, the Rev.Mr.Therrien, Rabbi Veld, Sir William Hingston, Lieut.-Col.Btrathy, Messrs.George Hague, Richard White, Donald Macmas- ter, E.§.Clouston, B.Hal Brown, Walter Paul, Alired Joyce, W.Hamilton, F.X.Perreault, 8 8, Bain, Dr.Lepro- hon, Dr.I.H.Aldermen Brunet, Costigan, Charpentier, Marsolais and Grothe.It will be seen from the meeting that those in favor of the vice-regal scheme seemed to be in the majority.When the meeting opened, Mr.George Hague, chairman of the Memorial Committee, moved the adoption of the report of the committee, which had reported upon the various schemes for the celebration of the event.He then read the report.The first proposition touched upon in it was the proposition to establish a large garden in front of the General Hospital; the committee could not recommend this scheme as feasible.The vice-regal residence scheme, it was thought, might be considered by an influential body of citizens, if the general committee decided such a course necessary.The scheme for the establishment of an order of Queen\u2019s nurses to tend the sick in sparsely settled districts had the sympathy of the memorial committee, while the fourth and last proposition, to establish a fund for the benefit of the hospitals in the city had its warmest commendation, and it was urged that the general committee should adopt this mode of celebrating this joyful event.The report concluded by asking the general committee to appoint a committee to take up funds for this project, the committee having power to apply for incorporation and hold in trust the money collected.Mr.E.S.Clouston moved that the report be amended by making it incumbent upon hospitals, which should benefit by this fund, to he supported by public subscriptions, to have thirty beds and make annual reports.This amendment gave rise to consider able warmth of feeling, and roused the ever-wakeful race bogey.Rabbi Veld said ha did not like the amendment, and contended that it aimed to shut out small hospitals, and would result in much bitter feeling.This statement was demurred to, but it was supported by Mr.J.X.Perreault and Canon Bruchesi.* This amendment,\u2019 said Mr.J.X.Per- reault, \u2018will leave the Hotel Dieu, the oldest hospital in the city, out in the cold and I trust it will not be passed ; it will surely raise race feelings if it is.\u2019 Mr.Clouston said the intent of the amendrfient was not io injure any of the hospitals, but to provide that institutions which might receive aid from the fund were entitled to it.Canon Bruchesi pointed out that the Hotel Dieu had for over two hundred years been caring for the sick of all na- ticralities and creeds without compensation, and begged that nothing should be done which would result in it getting no benefit from the expected charter.Mr.Clouston was asked for the sake of peace and harmony to withdraw his amendment, all hospitals would then benefit by the proposed scheme.Mr.Clouston said he was only tov happy to accede to the request.It was then decided to take up the schemes one by one and dispose of them in a systematic manner.The proposal to establish a large garden in front of the General Hospital was the first project taken up and it was decided to send it to the City Council fer ccusideration, and allow it to adopt or reject it as it saw fit.It was decided not to establish a sanitarium for consumptives.Lady Aberdeen\u2019s scheme was accorded much sympathy.The viceregal scheme was then dis- cuzsed and caused some commotion.Mr.Walter Paul spoke strongly in fa- ver of this scheme, and reflected upon the hospital fund scheme.The latter scheme, he said, would result in those who had subscribed to the support of the hospitals losing their interest in them; it would be said that a good fund had been subscribed to support them and that their financial future need arouse no more anxiety.The vice-regal scheme, however, was a most commendable one: it would increase the drooping trade of Montreal; bring visitors to the city, add dignity to Montreal and be productive of much good.Ile moved, seconded by Mr.S.S.Bain, that the ques tion of the viceregal residence be referred to a committee of the following twenty-five gentlemen:\u2014Messrs.George Davidson, Hague, T.G.Shaughnessy, J.D.Rolland, Hugh Graham, Lieut.-Col.Strathy, D.Macmaster, B.Hal Brown, A.W.Hooper, H.B.Ames, H.V.Meredith, S.Carsley, Henry Hamilton, Alfred Joyce, H.Laporte, A.F.Gault, Edwin Hanson, C.M.Hays, Hon.A.Desjardins, Richard White, R.Prefontaine, Ald.R.Costigan, James Morgan, John Murphy, H.B.Rainville, Robert Reid, Henry Morgan.Sir Donald Smith very strongly opposed this project.He was sure no one had a deeper respect for Her Majesty's representatives in Canada, and for Her Gracious Majesty than he had, and so he was sure that the remarks he was about to make would not be misconstrued.He pointed out that Her Majesty's wish was that the event should be celebrated in a way that the poor and sick would be the happier for it; would ! the erection of viceregal residence add to their happin2ss or relieve them when sick?Such a residence would be becoming for the government to build, but money should not he taken from the citizens to build it.Île concluded by asking that the hospital fund scheme be adopted and Lady Aberdeen\u2019s scheme amalgamated with it.The Rev.Edgar Hill strongly urged that Lady Aberdeen\u2019s scheme be adopted.Lieut.-Col.Strathy spoke in favor of the viceregal scheme.Dr.Davidson opposed the arguments of the previous speaker.Speeches in favor of the vice-regal scheme were also made by ex-Mayor Desjardins, Mr.S.S.Bain and ex-Ald.Rolland.In a very able speech Mr.D.MeMas- ter begged the committee to adopt the scheme as propounded by Sir Donald Smith, and drop the viceregal scheme, which to him was most unbecoming.Ar.Paul's motion to appoint a committee to consider the viceregal scheme was then put and carred by eleven to nine.Mr.Hague then moved that the hospital fund scheme should he adopted and amalgamated with Lady Aberdeen\u2019s scheme.Quite a confusion as to procedure new ensued.Tt was held by some that the committee could do no more business until the committee appointed to consider the viceregal scheme had met and was ready to make its report ; while others contended that it was in order to adopt the hospital fund scheme.The mayor being appealed to raid the proper course to pursue would be to adjourn till the committee in question was ready with its report.Mr.S.S.Bain then made a motion to adjourn, which was carried by a vote of nine to eight.THE ADDRESS COMMITTEE.The address Committee also met yesterday afternoon.Chief Justice Lacoste (chiairman) presided, the members present being the Rev.James Barclay, Canon Bruchesi, the Rev.Mr.Colin, Ven.Archdeacon Evans, the Rev.Mr.Ther- rien, Dr.W.T.Shaw, the Rev.J.Edgar Hill, Dr.Peterson, Dr.L.H.Davidson Rabbi De Sola, Rabbi Veld, Mesurs.George Hague, Richard White, Donald Macmaster, E.8.Clouston, Lieut.-Col.Stiathy and His Worship the Mayor.It was thought by many of the members that the address which had been proposed was rather too long and should be curtailed.The wording of the address, on the other hand, was considered to be most able and in good taste, dwelling as it did upon the peace which had attneded Her Majesty's long reign.It was decided to appoint a small committee to curtail the address.WELCOME TEMPLE ANNIVERSARY.Welcome Juvenile Temple will cele- Lrate its anniversary next Saturday evening in the Congregational School-room, Point

it is a government bill.\u2019 Dr.German was opposed to the clause.Dr.German threw down the gavntlet by flounting the temperance people with the remark that the temperance people, it could be fairly stated, had got all they were reasonably entitled to.He thought the whole matter should be left in abeyance until after the Dominion plebiscite.Mr.Willoughby, one of the Conservative whips, was unalterably opposed to the clause.He had vet to find a coun- cllor who desired to have that fire brand thrown into municipal elections.The Hon.E.J.Davis launched into a resume of the whole license question.The government, he said, had done what they thought best in the interests of the country.The amendment was put to a vote and the government was defeated by 59 to 26.The cheers with which the result was received were indulged in by many on both sides of the House.The House adjourned at 2.15 a.m.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE PANAMA SCANDAL.London, April 10.\u2014The Paris corres- spondent of the \u2018 Daily Chronicle\u2019 says: \u2018It appears that the most incriminating document in connection with the Panama scandals has not left London.Its owner has been advised not to disclose its contents except upon the condition of his free return to France and his restoration to civil rights.Those who.have seen photographs of the papers declare that they include written requests for money, cheques endorsed by Senators and Deputies and every evidence of the most shocking corruption.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOING TO A NEW FIELD.The Rev.E.C.W.MacColl, B.A, lately of Kingsport, N.S., has received and accepted a unanimous call to he pastor of the Lake Shore and Ebenezer Congregational churches.He will reside in Forest and the installation will take place on April 13, during the meeting of the Western Association.ADVERTISEMENTS.T° LET.oo 14 PARK AVENUE, $20 per month, upper tenement.14a PARK AVENUE, $20 per month, lower tenement.9 CHARRON STREET, Point St, Charles, self-contained house, $11 per month.13 CHARRON STREET, $11 per month.39 CHARRON STREET, $10 per month, upper tenement.The above will be put in first class order for good tenants.Apply ta FULTON & RJCHARDS, 1738 Notre Dame street, Near St.Francois Xavier st.10 6th BATTALION FUSILIERS.ANNUAL DRILL.The Battalion will parade in Drill Order at 8 p.m.on MONDAY, the 13th instant.By order, T.ATKINSON, Bt.Major & Adjt.TO LET, NEAR VICTORIA SQUARE, A dwelling house of nine rooms at $17 per month;

(not secondary either) is to give all our visitors a royal time.Already members are suggesting what they can do to make it a pleasant outing for those attending.Yachting and steamboat trips are freely talked of, tishing and picnic parties, suppers and such-like, the participants will be entertained by members of the club, in fact from the moment they get off the train they are our guests, Of course you will understand that this dees not apply to every Tom, Dick and Harry that sees fit to enter, but only applies to those who are considered worthy of reprerent- ing their respective clubs.But there is one thing we are determined on, and that is that if the leading players of the Dominion do not enter, there will be no tourney, as it would be a fizzle to have some second-rate player carry off our trophy and style himself champion of Canada.\u2019 The various clubs of Canada will have no legitimate excuse if they do not make a quick and hearty response to such a generous offer, when, of course, they receive offira} notifcation of it.Two or three vears ago tne (Canadian Chess Association fell through because the clubs of Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec and Montreal all put up a plea of poverty.They could not afford to entertain the visitors.Now the Gordian knot is cut for them.The raiiway fare of their representatives will represent all the necessary expenses to be incurred.With such inducements, added to a most enjoyable holiday in one of the most picturesque spots in Ontario, we look forward to a meeting such as we have never had before in Canada.We hear from an unofficial source that Orillia was the winner in the game Boult- kee vs.Stephenson, adjourned from their telegraphic match with Toronto.A BOY HERO.HIS WOODEN LEGS TRAVELED FAR AND FAST TO BAVE LIVES.Not far away from the Virginia line lives a two-thirds youth, for, unfortunately, both of his lower Jimbs are artificial, who has to his credit an act of heroism which should make him a loved lad us long as the memory of those who know him lasts.It is little crippled Tim\u2019 Olin, whose home is away up in the mountains, thirty-five miles from that part of the country.This bit of a boy about three weeks ago heard that forest fires were sweeping everything that would burn before them along the Virginia side of the mountains.One afternoon he climbed through the snow to the top of the mountain, one of the steepest of the Cumberland, and took a view of the fire swept country below him.He was surprised to find the fire so fierce, and as he watched Tim saw that the red tongues were creeping on towards a little log cabin in which lived two old and helpless women, the Ober sisters, and their blind and crippled brother, who is one of the oldest men over on the other side.The lad realized that the house was a long way from any other farmhouse, and knew that the people in the humble cot would find themselves powerless if they were left in the cabin until the fire got to their home.Without thinking of how much suffering it meant to his pcor aching limbs, Tim started down the rugged hillside ADVERTISEMENTS.BUTCHERED OR BURNED ?We read with horror of the cruelty and butcheries of Gen.Weyler in the fair Isle of Cuba, but little reck we of the ravages of that more direful King of Grave-Fillers, Kidney Disease, here in our midst.People of high and low degree drop into graves on all sides of us daily from Kidney Trouble.We incur it ourselves We encourage it.We do everything but cure it.Yet there is a cure, pleasant as a May morning.Sure as fate.Infallible as heredity.Before this wonderful remedy, the agonizing tortures of Kidney Ills venish like a snowflake in a fiery furnace, This cure, of which we sound the praises is DODD'S KIDNEY PILLS.Yet not alone alone we, but every one who has tried them.One hundred per cent of cures we record.Here are examples : \u2014 W.F.Smith, 16 Carrol street, Toronto, mavs :\u2014\u2018 I have taken eight boxes cf Dodd's Kidney Pills, which have cured me of Heart Trouble, Pain in the Back and Dizziness, after other treatments had failed.\u2019 D.J.Kenny, Queen's Hotel, Mount Forest, says :\u2014\u2018 Have suffered greatly from Nervousness, but information os to the effects of Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases led me to use them, with the result that T am cured.\u2019 Louis H.Bounsall, 573 King East, Toronto, says :\u2014\u2018 Had been troubled for several months with pain in my Back and Kidneys which prevented my entering in bicycle events, but am in the ring once more after using three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills\u2019 Mr.James Stokes, Deseronto, Ont, gays :\u2014 From the first box taken of Dedd\u2019's Kidney Pills T found relief, and hundreds here, knowing me for the past fifteen vears, can vouch for my cure of long standing Kidney Trouble.\u2019 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.on his perilous journey of hercism.le bad a race with the fire, and twice fell from exhaustion, and almost despaired of saving the old folks.But his indomitable courege never flagged, and he kept going.He reached the old homestead just as the prairie fire was attacking the old frame erib.He hurried into the house and informed the old and thoroughly frightened people of their danger.1t only took him a few minutes to hitch the horse to the sled, and the old man was helped on to this.The four drove into shelter at the nearest neighbor\u2019s, leaving the fire to do its worst, The home of the old people was partly burned during the night, but the boy had gotten some of the neighbors to go and fight the fire, and they were able to save most of the contents of the house.The modest-looking lad has never re- covered from the injuries he sustained in making the awful trip, but he is very proud of the deed.The old people will never cease to love and contribute to the boy\u2019s support out of their limited means.\u2014\u2018Sandy Signal.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 In boiling a pudding, a slice of fish, or anything else which is not put into a mould, but where a cloth or bag is used, a plate should always be placed in the bottom of the kettle.When a pail is chosen to play the part of a mould, it should not rest directly upon the bottom of the kettle.A heavy iron ring, such as is sometimes taken for a flat-iron-stand, may be first slipped in the boiler, and the pail put upon that.This is the best substitute for the mould corstructed with a tube in the centre, for the all round distribution of the boiling water.ADVERTISEMENTS.S Experience teaches the importance of special care of the health.RW And fixed among the impor- M À tant principles of hygiene and health is the acknowledged necessity of a good Spring Medicine.Just as firmly established by the experiences of millions of people, is the positive fact that Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla is \u2018far and away\u2019 the best blood purifier and spring medicine ever produced.The necessity is found in the impure condition of the blood at this Reason, owing to the «close confinement and breathing vitiated air in office, store, shop, house, schoolroom or factory; ex cessive eating and drinking too rich and bearty food; late hours and social indulgences.With the blood thus thick and impure, the machinery of life grinds hard.Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, builds up and strengthens the nerves and tones the stomach.It oils up the machinery of the whole body; the liver takes up its work anew, the kidneys resume activity, the ache goes out of the back, the bowels are regulated, the appetite restored, the food 1s relished and assimilated.Don't wait till you are thoroughly sick before you begin to take a Spring Medicine.Lock the stolen.\u2018 Take Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla now as a preventive.and it will pay you a thousandfold in health and strength through the coming summer.door before the horse is ring fed cine \u2018\u201cWe always take several bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla in our family every spring as a tonic and blood purifler and we find that it overcomes that tired feeling, gives new life, and keeps us well all summer.\u201d WM.RINGEL, 813 5th Ave., Peoria, Illinois.Excellent Spring Medicine.\u2018For a number of years I have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla in the spring, not for any particular ailment, but on general principle, that the system needs a tonic at this time, and I have always found Hood's Sarsaparilla a most excellent spring medicine.\u201d HAKON HAMMER, Engineer, Pottstown, Pennsylvania._ That Tired Feeling.\u201cI was troubled with that tired feeling all the spring.I purchased three bottles of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken about half of it I was feeling well again.I believe Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla to be an excellent blood purifier and tonle.\u201d\u201d Miss ORA E.MORGAN, Busey, Illinois.Bullds up the Health.\u201cWe take Hood's Sarsaparilla as a tonic in the spring.Two of our children had ton- silitis and their blood was in a bad condition, Hood's Sarsaparilla built them up, and we have taken it again this spring with much benefit.\u201d Mrs.P.H.CAHOON, Pleasant Lake, Mass.-N.B.\u2014If you decide to take Hood's Sar- saparflla

Returning to my country home at the : elose of a busy day spent in Montreal, I settled down, \u2018Witness\u2019 in hand, in the tuburban train, and read with delight the request for essays on the servant question, which had for some days occupied my mind.The drowsy air, after the cold without, caused the paper to slip from my hands and it was returned to me to my surprise by one of whom I had been thinking as capable of organizing a plan forming in my mind.She rallied me on my intentness on the subject so I told her what it was.Imagine my bewilderment when she laughingly assured me I must have an old paver for schemes were propounded and prizes awarded years ago, and now the solution of the problem exists in our midst in a Training School for Domestic Workers.\u2018And high time too,\u2019 she added, \u2018for Canada has long sent some of her most intelligent girls to the United States to fill high posts in their hospitals and in service.With such good material to work upon Canada is now taking the lead in this most needed reform.\u2019 \u2018But tell me all about it,\u201d I exclaimed: \u2018HOW DID IT COME TO BET and closing my eyes, wearied from the city whirl, I listened to what I shall relate.\u2018The request of the \u2018Witness\u2019 brought forth so many claims for a trained service that a circular was drawn up with a re- sumé of the various opinions and reasons expressed, and also containing a request to! consider the subject in these several bearings,collect information of methods of training nurses and apprentices, and compare results at a meeting appointed.This circular was sent to active members of women's councils and boards of management of institutions and prominent women of good housekeeping renown.An enthusias- wc meeting resulted, wants and requirements were exhaustively discussed, resolutions formed, and the school planned in its various departments mut it exists today.Steps to provide ._ciligent service had already been taken b; Y.W.C.A.classes, cooking schools, kitchen gardens, and training of nurse maids; but these were {solated desultory attempts, whereas experience shows that to ensure permanent success labor must be intelligently directed on a commonsense business basis and under legally authorized supervision.There are two main grades in the school, as HOUSEWORKERS AND HOUSEKEEPERS, The first undergo practical training in all branches of housework, including cooking and care of children, and attend lectures and pass examinations required for obtaining a Trained Houseworkers' Diploma.Supplementary diplomas are granted members of this class for proficiency acquired as cooks.tablemaids, housemalds, nursemaids, lady \u2019's-maids, companion-maids, etc.House- Keepeers in addition to a comprehensive knowledge of housework, acquire proficiency in reading, writing, keeping accounts, direction and contrel of houseworkers, management of children, care of houses, furniture, plants and clothes, and cultivate intuition, presence of mind and resource to meet em- ; ergencies.The comprehensiveness of this | course teaches servants how arduous are a mistress\u2019s duties.There are two kitchens; for experiments, demonstra- | one lectures, tions and special cookery; the other smaller with approved furnishings, is for practical | training.Wholesome food is provided for | the table.simple but as tempting as pos- | sible with careful economy.and as a point kindergarten course is given nursemaids and others with culture of voice and manner.There is a charming nursery with every approved detail and a children\u2019s dormitory.These are occupied sometimes by little ones from institutions; often by chil- + dren sent from families to escape sickness, reception days or the new baby.Nursemaids receive practical training also In institutions and private familles under direction of experienced nurses.Several ladles accustomed to management of servants have submitted themselves to examination and acquired a certificate authorizing them to impart part of the practical training necessary and thus recelve excellent service without expense of wages or servant's board.Lectures are given by professors, clergymen, students, doctors, ladies and skilled artisans, in physiology, hygiene, chemistry cf food, ranitation, political economy, domestic economy, ethics, manners, morals, sewing, hair dressing, cooking, culture of flowers, upholstering, and other subjects, all adapted to the requirements of the school.A curriculum is arranged for, each grade specifying branches of work, lessons and lootures, and examinations necessary to acquiring a diploma.All lectures and classes designated must be attended at the school, but residence there during the whole course is not compulsory.Satisfactory applicants (when vacancies occur), are admitted for three days on probation upon payment cf a small fee for board for that time.Duration of residence at the school depends largely on proficiency of the probationer.When a requisite degree of skill ir certified in each practieal branch, and examinations passed, diplomas are awarded.Certain lectures are open to all upon payment of fee, and A DIPLOMA FOR AFFILIATED HOUSIL- KEEPERS is granted in a course fir expectant brides and others ambitious to be model housewives.The attendance upon some lectures is optional and from t\u2018me to time free public lectures are given.It has been feared servants would become unduly elated by some studies; but on the contrary, discontent and insubordination are the result of ignoranca.A maid attends a simple lecture on political economy, and there learns that each quality of mind and pefson, inasmuch as it 1s vzeful to the world.is OF MONEY VALUE; her stock-in-trade, enabling her to command a higher salary, and is induced to cultlvate as marketable commodities neatness, gentleness, daxterity, sweet temper, and a modest demeanor.Ignorance is shown that it is not unfair to rate on a lower social and monetary level one lacking these essentials.Maids are encouraged to improve themselves instead of clamoring to have their circumstances improved.They are taught to do their hair and dress themselves becomingly, and to choose and purchase intelligently; are obliged to furnish themselves with proper healthful clothes and toilet requisites, and are taught and encouraged to exert thir ingenuity upon their bedrooms when they go out to service to render them attractive.A maid's room is for the time being her home, and with care, wages in these days are ample to allow of a mald providing herself with alarm clock, easy chair or other accessories with which a young person of taste would supply herself {in lcdgings.By contract with makers, good watches and clocks, mantel beds, etc.are supplied at moderate cost or rented to maids.A storage is provided for these, and maids\u2019 private possessions at moderates rates.All maids must tell the time and work cn time allowance in Accordance with a programme furnished each \u2018daily.This is necessary to order, and a valu- ot (x?Lae AAS D scmething unsuitable.The delight of scoring off, and speed of reducing such lists, Is attested by all.The schoo! trains a small number of servants compared to the needs of the community; but countless servants emulate them, and mistresses, who profess to prefer maids of their own training, derive immense benefit indirectly.Many applicants are, mentally and physically incapable of winning diplomas.but some special talent is often discovered and made the most of.Two maids described as having \u2018no heads whatever\u2019 ware found to be most active, willing creatures, and proved marvels, one at wush- ing windows, the other pots and dishes, and now earn a comfortabla livelihood as char-maids attached to the school regtatry.New branches are developing.One house- Keeper, when sent for to the ends of tho city In domastic emergencies, often detected, by aid of a very activo nose, leaks In gas or defects in drainage.She has been informally constituted a health officer, a pest for which woman with her quick perceptions, is admirably fitted.This officer not only discovers dampness and mould but tha cause in def-ctive roof or waterspout, and has undergone a course of sanitary plumbing and acquired knowledge of other trades.Another 1s a sort of detoctlvae sent to cases of dishonest or drunken servants.Many ladies living in their own homss hold diplomas and are prepared to teach how to direct a home, or to do shopping, furnishing, preserve-making,dust- lrg, darning, ana many other duties on demand of patrons by the registry telephone.England, benefiting by long experience, has the best trained service in the world; there, both mistresses and maids become in- ftructed from infancy in stereotyped duties.Ju this new country to rule and to BASTER BONNETS.Dear Editor Home,\u2014The W.C.T.U., lke a busy housekeeper, I8 always finding time to do one thing more.An Important \u2018one thing more\u2019 taken up by the Compton and Wolfe County Union this year is the Department of Mercy or Humane Work.At the head of this department is a lady full of enthusiasm for the work of the bands of merey, Mrs.D.J.Ayer of Moe's River, Que.As a method of interesting, not only the children andl young people, but of stirring up public Interest, contests, similar to the Demorest medal contests, have been inaugurated in this county.The initial one, which we believe was also the first to be held in the Province of Quebec, was held at Moe's River early in March, and was participated in by ten young persons whose ages ranged from thirteen to elghteen years.The selections were all preceded by appropriate texts of scripture emphasizing some phase of humane work.The prize, a silver cup, was won by the youngest contestant who recited in excellent style the enclosed poem, which is particularly appropriate at this Easter season.COMPTONA, Press Supt.Compton Co.W.C.T.U.DEAD BIRDS AND EASTER.(By May Riley Smith.) It was an Easter Sunday, bright and calm, And life, not death, was the glad theme that day.The air was full of spring\u2019s deliclous balm, The maple buds were dropping on the way, And one sweet leaf, with flush of crimson on it, Fell on the dead birds of a woman's bonnet.What say the bells at these good Easter times?They tell of vanquished death and risen life.Hush, then, chimes, You and the dull old world are hard at strife, For, surely, when the crimson leaf fell on it, 1 saw dead birds upon a woman's bonnet.O bells, your Inconsistent What does it cost.this garniture of death?i dl TP N DINNER AND EVENING DRESSES.serve have not been seriously enough regarded, and here servants are fewer, and their environments more diverse.and the uncertainty of what should be required of and granted to servants, is past endurance.The school, accordingly, has labored to prepare a schedule of duties, for various grades of servauts in several circumstances, recommended for the guidance of housekeepers.A circular addressed to housekeepers has also been prepared, requesting them to provide healthful bedrooms, and food suffi- rient and wholesome to be partaken of hot, and with time: and recommendations as to hours cut and other matters.The secretary It costs the life which God alone can give, It costs dull silence where was music's breath; It costs dead joy that foolish pride may live.Ah! life and joy and song, depend upon it, Are costly trimmings for a woman's bonnet, Ah, who would stop the sweet pulse of a lark That flutters in such ecstacy of bliss, Or lay a robin\u2019s bright breast cold and stark For such a paltry recompense as this?Oh! you who love your babies, think upon Unless she, too, wears dead birds on her bonnet! Dead birds; and dead for gentle woman's sake, To feed awhile her vanlty\u2019s poor breath! And yet the foollsh bells sweet clamor make, And tell of One whose power has vanquished death! Ah! Easter time has a reproach upon it While birds are elain to trim a woman's bonnet! EASTER GIFTS.The \u2018Housekeeper\u2019 gives the following hints for inexpensive Easter giftg:\u2014A panel of any shape or material, painted with a cluster of pure white lillies, is emblematic, and if well done is something sure to please.Heavy drawing paper may be cut into leaves, square, oblong,or any fanciful shape, painted, and made into booklets with ribbons.These form beautiful gifts.A leaning, rustic cross, set in a bed of moss, is a gocd design for the cover; or a loose arrangement of violets or daisies, scattered around or among the words of an appropriate quotation is pretty for this first page.A vase of violets; a spike of lilles; a dish filled with daisies; a bird's nest, showing the cggs: a page of butterflies; pale hepa- tica and trailing arbutus, or spikes of alder or willow showing catkins, all are appropriate and dainty designs for the pages of a booklet.A bird's nest well-mounted, and holding four tiny eggs is a pretty gift.Many things may be contrived from egg shells.Empty the shells of well shaped eggs, removing the contents through a hole at the large end of the egg, taking care not to crackle the shell.Then use small, sharp scissors to cut to the desired design.Cut away the large end of a shell, bind the edge with pale pink or lavender ribbon, and paste a bit of pressed fern up the sides from the bottom, and set on a bit of pasteboard, that is hidden by bits of ferns, and there Is a cup that may be filled with confections, or a gift of ribbons or lace for a lady; or hold a bit of jewellery for a gentleman.Cups of an endless variety may be made in a similar way.They may be set upon a bit of cardboard covered with plush, and then painted in a tasteful manner.They who cannot paint can use bits of ferns, verses suited to the season, and cut out pictures such as birds, birds\u2019 nests, butterflies, churches, or crosses.Egg shells from which the contents have been removed through small holes in the ends may be decorated and hung on a ribbon, tied into a small bow at the end, and passed through the shell from the small end to the large, and drawn up so that the bow covers the hole in the small end; then a bow may be placed at the top, and a loop made to hang it by.The shells may be colored and then used in many ways to form decorative bits.Let me warn against using.eggs beiled without being emptied, or saving up such ones, to become decayed and an object of horror.Five or six colored shells may be hung on narrow ribbons, of different lengths, and form a pretty ornament.The end of the shell may be removed, and a silk or a velvet puff, filled with cotton and plenty of sachet powder put into the opening and fastened with glue or paste.With dyes and gold or silver bronze, one may decorate in almost endless ways and form a great variety of pretty things in the way of egg shells.If one begins this work, many ways of preparing little gifts fit for Easter offerings will present themselves to the mind of the ingenjous worker.Procure a few small round trays, such a8 grocers use for butter, green, brown and yellow tissue paper, and diamond dyes of such colors as you wish.Cut yellow tissue paper into strips two and one-half inches wide, fold and cut crosswise, leaving one-half inch at each edge to hold the } fringe.\u201cWith a little paste fasten a strip of fringe close to the edge of the tray, then another strip a little way inside, so that the fringe will cover the pasted edge of the first row; continue until the tray is entirely covered, Crumple the fringe slightly with the hand.to give it the appearance of straw, and your nest is ready for the eggs.These must first be boiled hard in clear water.Dissolve a very light blue Diamond dye in a saucer of hot water; then roll three of the eggs around in it, and they will be a lovely sky blue.A name, a little sketch, or an Easter greeting may be traced on the egg with a stick dipped in lard before they are put into the dye bath, and it will remain white.Place the blue and white eggs in the yellow nest, and it is dainty enough to please any one.Make nests in the same way of the green or brown paper, and color eggs to contrast prettily.IN THE SPEAKER'S GALLERY.The other evening in the Speaker's Gal- \u2014 mn (there ia nothing definite in that deserip-tan \u2014for several of the ministers have vet and pretty daughters).one 10 whom ;

unrest in Europe.« the practice i317 to 1858, that | humanitarian sentiment whose adherents soon received the name of Abolitionists.The subject began to come before the legislature in the form of petitions, and was for years a source of angry contention, until decided by that war whose results Professor Burgess says ought to be accepted without a murmur even by the defeated, because their appeal, \u2018when at their best as men and heroes\u2019 was to God's defence of the right.The phases through which the discussion passed and how the question of slavery became identified with the question of whether the nation or the state should be the highest authority, are interesting to follow.An amusing story is told with regard to one of the debates: Mr.Adams came into the House with a petition in regard to slavery signed by some twenty slaves, and asked the Speaker if it came under the rule for laying such petitions on the table.Everybody supposed that the petition contained the usual prayer for the abolition of slavery, and that the abolitionists had incited the slaves to the act.Mr.Adams allowed the exclte- ment produced by this supposition to rage for a time, and then coolly and derisively informed the House that the petition was not for abolition but against it.The members now felt that Mr.Adams was playing with the peace, order and dignity of the House in a scandalous way, and for several days the question of censuring him was considered, but the matter was finally disposed of by a resolution declaring: \u2018That slaves do not possess the right of petition secured to the people of the United States by the Constitution.\u2019 THE COMIC MUSE.An \u201c\u2018Essay on Comedy,\u2019 by George Meredith (Scribner's), is a compact work on an airy subject.Mr.Meredith, whose novels are considered in some respects among the finest in the English language, may claim to be an authority on the art of comedy as distinguished from satire and the broader kinds of humor.He finds that Germans have little sense of comedy, and attributes it to the fact that their women are not treated as quite on an equality with men.English laughter, he finds, arises generally rather from the feelings than from the intellect, whereas \u2018the test of true comedy is that it shall awaken thoughtful laughter.\u201d \u2018The laughter of comedy is impersonal and of unrivalled politeness.\u2019 The comic spirit is not hostile to the sweetest songfully poetic.Chaucer bubbles with it; Shakespeare overflows.There is a mild moon's ray of it (pale with super-re- finement through distance from our flesh and blood planet) in \u2018Comus.\u201d Pope has it, and it is the daylight side of the night half obscuring Cowper.Still, Mr.Meredith thinks a feeling for the comic rather lacking in English literature, as in English society, and holds up Molière\u2019s works as the finest specimens of true comedy.He calls the \u2018the highest flight of the \u201cFemmes \u2018Misanthrope\u2019 comic muse, and says, \u2018The Savantes\u201d is a capital instance of the uses of comedy in teaching the world to understand what ails 1t\u2019 This view of \u2018the uses of comedy\u2019 is like that of another writer who represents an evil spirit as complaining that Comedy has spoiled some of his work by calling things plain names: \u2018She is almost as truthful as our vulgar friend, the re cording angel.\u201d Different styles of humor among ancient and modern writers are touched on.It is pleasant to find an appreciative paragraph on the humor of Carlyle.(W.Foster Brown, $1.25.)

the glass so frail that it needs to be under glass for protection is not beautiful in common use, nor is the china whose common use is its sure destruction.The spider-legged table and its insect family of chairs, the thinge that creak when we sit down and tip over when we get up, these are not beautiful.Then cooking is spoken of and the importance of suitable foods.Then cleaning, the only mechanical industry, thinks the author, which men cannot take out of the hands of women, the only industry that cannot be carried on away from But that cleanliness may have its true place sanitation should be thoroughly understood, and moreover we should have our furniture such as can the house.be easily cleaned, for a constant cleaning up ig not so ennobling an existence as the life in which cleaning has only its natural place as the necessary and beautifying adjunct to other activities.Under the head of \u2018 Household service\u2019 enough is said to show that the \u2018servant is being studied by careful observers and compilers of statistics, such question\u2019 as one who says: \u2018 The intelligence cffices of New York alone receive yearly from servants over three million dollars and are notoriously inefficient.This sum, or even half of it, would provide a great centre with training schools, lodgings for all who needed them and a system ADVERTISEMENTS.DR.CHASE Cures Chronic Catarrh.EDEN, £DMANSON, BATES & CO.: GENTLEMEN, \u2014I can cheerfully testify to the merits of Dr.I suffered from this disease for the past ten years.Cure.Ont., Feb.1st, 1897.Chase\u2019s Catarrh During that time I was treated by some of the best physicians, and have also used a number of remedies advertised to cure catarrh, but have always been disappointed in the result\u2014gen.erally the medicine would cause sneezing and distress in my head, only aggravating the disease instead of curing it.Last fall I suffered intense pain in my head for some time, and my throat was lined with ulcers.sore throat, but did not cure it.The doctors called it catarrhal I saw that Dr.Chase\u2019s Catarrh Cure was being highly recommended, so I procured a bottle from C.Thomson, druggist, Tilson- burg, and commenced its use.pain in my head ceased.ave done.The ulcers in my throat soon cleared away and the I am sure that no other cure will clear the head so nicely.Jt does not cause distress or sneezing when being used as some other medicines Yours respectfully, ANNA ALBERTA HOWLEY, Eden, Ont.This is to certify that I have known the writer of the above statement for years, end can vouch for its truthfulness, Yours respectfully, J.D.PHILLIPS, J.P.PROF.HAYS, OF THE ONTARIO SCHOOL OF CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACY, SAYS: *« | have made an examination of Dr.A.W.Chase's Catarrh Cure, for cocaine and any of its compounds, from samples purchased in the open market, and find none present \u201d We offer $1,000 reward, to be devoted to any charitable institu- - tion in Toronto, if any chemist or doctor can find the least trace of that drug cocaine in Dr.Chase's Catarrh Cure.com lete.witn blower, gists, or sent to any address on DR.CHASE'S CATARRH CURE receipt of 25Cat all Drug- Te Ur Aa STEIN S EE a ER I RNs BOR.» oe bs re Ra NE ADVERTISEMENTS.?y.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 but as he became smaller.way, -\u201d oo P IT BEES woos moll thoughe Contry ov ooo oandws how to elimb hills sg + \u2014 1 upright in hill climbing, sce - weight 13 thercby throwf# back and - + 1%;
