[" a) CRISIS IN\"SAMOA.Lives of Whites Threatened by Natives.RESULT OF THE CONSIDERATION SHOWN TO MATAAFA AND GERMAN 'CONSUL\u2019S DOUBLE-DEALING.* fan Francisco, Jan.14\u2014A letter received by the Associated Press from its Samoan correspondent shows how alarming was the situation when the steamer \u2018Mariposa\u2019 left Apia for this city.The letter, which is dated at Apis, Dec.28, says: \u2018Civil war has been Soir thé \u2018Etat time | im Samoan hèstory, the lives of white residents have been threatened by the natives.Armed guards protect the residence of Chief-Justice Chambers, an Ameriean citizen, and that of Mr.Guerr, the leading English lawyer of the town.The whole trouble has arisen through the injudicious action of the three treaty powers, in bringing the deported Mataafa back to Samoa.At the: time that America; Great Britain and Germany agreed to Mataafa\u2019s return, Malietoa\u2019s death was not anticipated, otherwise the home-coming of the exiled king would certainly have been delayed.The trouble begarf immediately upon Mataafa\u2019s return from Jaluit.Though be was nominally held as a prisoner, the consuls, actuated by kindly motives, gave him permission to remain on the royal demesne of Mulinnuu, and to take such of his adherents as he chose with him.Mataafa\u2019s people began crowding by thousands into the limited space of the Mulinnuu peninsula, driving out the followers of Malietoa.= Fortunately Malietoa\u2019s people.preserved a friendly attitude and obeyed the proclamation of the consuls that peace hould be maintained at all.hazards.The usurpers of Mulinnuy were aggressive, and issued a proclamation declaring Mataaia King of.Samoe, They assumed royal powers, and secretly encouraged by the Germans, procseded to deport public officers and appoint their own nominees.The climax was reached when Mataafs and his- chiefs actually -discharged the Chief Justice, wito.is ras À under «the Berlin tushy >the.threw Apes The most is the disagreement\u2019 between the consuls.The German cosdsul has been playing double with his colledgues, and the British and American officials naturally are indignant.It was understood that there | was to be no foreign interference in the royal elections, yet throughout it all an unde current of intrigue has been | at work with the Mataafa people until they have been roused to aggressive ac- | tion, have openly declared against all\u2019 white control, and announced the intention of disregarding entirely the Berlin treaty.To show the extent of the feeling aroused, Suatele, a religious fanatic, who is one of Mataafa\u2019s most prominent adherents, is quoted as saying: \u2018Samoans, you must fight strong; when you fight, kill.When you meet a white man cut him up; when you meet a missionary, cut him up; when you meet a deacon, cut him up; when you meet a Samoan, cut him up; we will break through the bounds .of the treaty, we will leave no municipality.\u2019 Chief Justice Chambers commenced his examination into the merits of the rival candidates on Dec.19 in the presence of a great crowd of natives, and under the Berlin treaty the Chief Justice is the final referee in this matter.Mataafa\u2019s people entered a vigorous protest against the employment of attorneys in the case.This, however, the Chief Justice refused bicrpet and Mr.Tae Appeared on - Anotbèr lawyer, - gi on represente Ta- masese, announced that his client had retired from the contest, and :khat bis influence would be thrown for Malietoa.Two days later it was reported that Sus- tele and other fanatical adherents of.Mataafa had farmed a plot to murder the Chief Justice, Mr.Guerr ,and other whites concerned in the casee The Chief Justice ilomediately called a meeting of consuls, and both English and American representatives agreed to hoist their flags over the threatened houses.The German ccnsul, however, demurred, claiming that he would have first to consult the captain of the warship \u2018Buzzard\u2019 Through the efforts of the captain of the British warship \u2018Porpoise,\u201d a'clash was avoided.He cleared his ship for action, and declared in favor of English-speaking consuls.Meanwhile, native guards patrolled the roads, and the: attack of Ma- taafa\u2019s fanatical adherents was voided.The most iting scene occurred, however, on Dec.20, when all the evi- prié Élemtent : in fhe frais ing scene occurès4.Natives burst out crying in court, and were promptly ejected.Outside, the crowd of Samoans raised a great tumult, and their leaders could only with difficulty restrain them from coming to blows.The captains of both the German and British men-of-war were in court.When the row was at its height the German captain invited the Englishman outside, \u201cWar.is certain,\u2019 he said.But the British captain did not see it in that light.He told the German that he would stand by his ship and be ready to make it warm for any one who made trouble There is a general feeling at Apia that the whole scene was prearranged in order to lead to a tumult, and thus give German officials an excuse for armed interference.The prompt action of the captain of the \u2018Porpoise,\u201d however, de- feasted the plot.r\u2014\u2014\u2014 + BACK FROM DAWSON;

that will be associated with a tariff shaped on the lines of uncompromising protection.In: fact, before he died Mr.Dingley knew that his mission was gone, unless it were to plan means of taking down, stone by | stone, the castle he had so triumphantly built.He knew that his name would be associated in history with a discredited system.Who knows how in such a revelation may have loosened his vital forces, so curiously does man\u2019s soul dominate his outer frame ?war, with its sequel of imperialism, was the kgell of the Chinese wall policy; # and, whom he was in conversation that he was glad of the war taxes.Now they were imposed, they would never come off; they would render possible the reduction of the tariff.Thus, while the civil war left to the United States a legacy of protectionism and of soft money notions, the late foreign war seems to have struck the deuth-knell of protection, and if we mistake not of that of the money fallacy.SE The Canadian Government will certainly join the Newfoundland Government in demanding the appointment of a British consul at St.Pierre, the chief port of the French islands of St.Pierre and Miquelon.The islands are the nest for French smugglers who do a profitable business in the illicit introduction and sale of liquor along the coasts of Newfoundland, the Maritime Provinces and Quebec.À British consul at Newfound- and would watch the trade of the port in the interests of his own nation, and would prove a hindrance to the smuggling.It is probably for this reason that the French Government has always refused to receive a British consul at St.Pierre.To make the matter as much of a pin-prick to the British as possible, a United States consul was admitted.Some months ago he was recalled, having becoming entangled in some doubtful business at St.Pierre.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Any.doubt which may have existed as to the feelings of the Dutch inhabitants of Cape Colony towards the empire has been set at rest by the action of the colonial parliament, now under the gontpol of a party which was violently denotincëd, \u2018and it seems slandered, at the polls, as being anti-British, in making a grant of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually to the British navy.The sentiments recently expressed by the premier, Mr.Schreiner, on moving the vote, were loyally appreciative of the blessings enjoyed by the people of South Africa under British institutions and the protection of the British fleet.As he truly said, the contribution was opportune, right, well-timed and calculated to indicate the solidarity of the empire, and that the empire was standing together in case of common danger against common attack.Other members of the Afrikander or Dutch party echoed these.hich \u2018are no doubt pre] sentiments, tv! .Mediterranean.cisely those of the people of all the colonies, without distinction of origin in all parts of the world, though some of us have not given such.direct expression to them.Incidents.of this kind must have great weight with those nations which look with\u2019 jealousy at the expansion of British imperialism, and must be accepted as a proof of the beneficence of institutions, which can thus weld to-.\u2018gether peoples of diverse nationalities widely separated by oceans and continents.pret A STRATEGIC STRONGHOLD.\u2018 Lord Salisbury\u2019s warning to the British public of the necessity of preparing to meet some imminent contingency is generally held to have reference to possible international complicgtions arising on some portion of the Mediterranean coast.The Cretan question is at least tempporarily shelved.While Great Brit- \u2018ain would probably strenuously object to \u2018the Balearic Isles passing into the hands qf any other great naval power, it is quite werfinl That, \u2018out rougli friand- Fly.\u2018arrangement.with.Spain, no Éritioh government would attempt to take possession of them.Tangiers and its outlying territory are in a very different position, yet it is difficult to believe that their acquisition would involve the empire in a life and death struggle.The Balkan problem is so bound up with the existence of the Ottoman empire that the great powers would not precipitate a general Buropean war by attempting its immediate solution, But signs are not, | wanting that Palestine, the storm centre of warring races and creeds for more than three thousand years, the battleground of Canaanites, Hebrews, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Egyptians, Persians, Macedonians, Romans, Saracens, Crusaders and Turks, through the ages, is destined ere long to be once again the arena of international conflict.The Emperor William\u2019s recent.visit to Palestine must tend materially to establish and extend German influence throughout the Levantine provinces, to which they are chiefly confined, to that extent checking the designs of Russia and France in the same region.The imperial pilgrimage followed hard upon the The .Spanish.| conclusion of the Anglo-German agreement.\u2019 The complete terms of that compact\u2019 remain undivulged, but it was un- tood, at.th tims.i.wae'sung ati: they.dete: TLe tjr Wiogurn| te et ou ei ut Hh $e à «

the Turkish empire occurs.Meanwhile, the British Admiralty is energetically preparing for any possible contingency from the quarter indicated by pushing the survey, charting, construe- tion and fortifying of the port of Fama.gusta, on the east coast of Cyprus, with the intention of making it a first-class naval station, commanding the eastern It is situated at a distance of only 60 miles from the nearest coast of Asia Minor, 41 miles from La- takia, on the Syrian coast, with which it is connected by submarine cable, and it is within 238 niiles of Port Said.The anchorage, extending about two miles, is of an average depth of 45 feet, and is sheltered on the east by a long stretch of reef and sandbank.The physical conditions are so favorable that experts believe that Famagusta can be transformed into a second Malta at a comparatively small expenditure.er TEA DUTIES, TESTS AND STANDARDS.That under a perfect fiscal system there would be free trade in tea, as in all that makes for the welfare of men, we believe haa been established by sound thinkers and economists.But so long as the robber system of Tarifa i3 maintained as a means of taxation, let it be maintained for its first purpose, that of producing revenue.\u2018The Moorish pirate took toll of commerce, it is true, but he did it for the straight purpose\u201d of getting money and not for the purpose of making trade prosperous or \u2018of making people healthy and happy.If we must raise our revenues by the foolish method of taxing commerce, then let us see to it that wo get the revenué, and not tax commerce for the purpose of making our people rich.If Canada must have a toll on.trade she cannot find an article upon which to lay it with the result of a more equitable incidence than tea.Tor there is no other 80 universally used by the peoples: both x rich, and poor, - ab :à -com- Patative dost more nitely* éaleufated \u201cto their respective means, the range of values being so great.Sugar, the only rival of tea, fails in respect of the latter qualification, and the difficulties of adjusting and collecting the duties upon it are incalculably greater thdn in the case of tea.Besides, sugar is not an impossible artigJe of production in Canada, though maple sugar has never become a competitive article of commerce, and beet root sugar growing has so far not proved very successful.The latter has everywhere clamored for protection, bounties and subsidies, which are mere waste from the point of view of the nation\u2019s economy.So long as Canada draws any \u2018portion of her revenue from duties which yield \u2018protection,\u2019 so l#ag will it.be true economy to substitute for such duties others which, like those on tea, would advantage the public revenue alone.Therefore, even though there be a surplus of révenue over and above the needs of the public service, so long as it is yielded in part by protective duties, it is tue economy to impose duties on unpro- béctibiler avticles tke ten in order to admit of the \u2018removal of duties which are protective, and which consequently burden the people by enhanced prices for unprofitable products above and beyond what they yield for the support of the government.A duty laid upon tea at the next session of parliament, if it resulted in taking another slice off the protected duties, would be a boon to the people generally.The setting up of a standard or the adoption of a test to regulate the importation of tea is not a matter of tariff or revenue.If trade is interfered with it should be done strictly in the interests of the public safety, and it is very doubtful if the public health can be effectively safeguarded by means of a tariff.That the people should be protected as far as pos- gible against the use of teas which are injurious to the health owing to their unsoundness, or to the use in their preparation of poisonous or other substances deleterious to health will, we suppose, be generally regarded as right in theory at least.The necessity of doing so must of course be proved before any interference with ordinary trade be instituted, as there should be no official or unofficial restriction which can be avoided.It is doubtful whether any attempt should be made to prevent the importation of tea on ac- tof the Jownes \u2018of its sr arity mn; cor \u2018stead of t the ue as Mrs fs not in any way unsound and, \u201cconsequent ly, unwholesome.Certainly, the sale of willow leaves as tea leaves should not be permitted, but to prohibit the sale of willow leaves as willow leaves would not be defensible if the decoction of them is not unwholesome, as it does not seem to be, judging from the amount said to be used of them annually in making what is called \u2018tea\u2019 Perhaps regulations against this fraud are necessary.The adoption of a \u2018standard\u2019 would be more calculated to prevent the importation of merely low quality teas than of checking or preventing the trade in adulterated, fraudulent or unsound teas.The chemical test would seem to be the most certain and effective means of guarding the public against the real evils to be feared.- People are the best judges of what is palatable to them, and even of what is most desirable and economical, so long as the teas are tea, and are sound and not unwhélesome.But they cannot judge whether teas are pure or adulterated with foreign substances deleterious to the health, or whether they have or have mot been picked and prepared so, as to be wholesome.Experts only can decide such questions where they really arise, as they do hot in the case of most importation of teas ; only in a few cases ig the application of the test or standard really needed.There should, however, be as little interference and, what is more, as little excuse for interference, with trade as possible.\u2014\u2014 IMPERIALIZE THE VOLUNTEERS.The Canadian volunteer militia is declared by Imperial authorities who are free to criticise to be in a bad way.It is regarded as about, if not quite, the poorest of the colonial forces.This judgment is perhaps exaggerated owing to the fact that the side of our militia organization which presents itself to thé British authorities is its weakest aspect.One commanding officer after another who has come to Canada to look after the force has been worried out of the country by Canadian officers with more \u2018political \u2018pull\u2019 than soldierly instinct.Many of the officers\u2014we presume the great major.ity\u2014do not come under this description.We know many of them\u2019 to be in the fullest sympathy with every effort to insist on.discipline.Unfortunately, however, as nothing is stronger than its weakest | would call for a sudden and supreme part, it is by the conduct of another class that the force has had to he Judged, The reputation so obtained is certainly disgrace to the greatest and mos st pra gressive of the colonial nations of the empire.In case of a war, which is, hay.pily, not very likely to occur, which iw es fort on the part of our forces, should almost to a certainty mak.worse showing even than the Uni: States forces made in the recent wir with Spain.They virtually went 1 pieces, happily after their few mom.work was done.It isa question whet! er our Canadian volunteer militia as n.w organized does not constitute a distinet danger, because its numerical strength and material, which is undoubtedly wont give rise to a false security.via suddenly come to the front a- the ee \u201cer in imperial affairs among the .k- tions, and she should see to 7 army, if she has one at all, # tute a real defence for her uwn t ries, and should, moreove:, be rer contribute to the\u2019 defence, if required, of : the empire at large, Every one knows and understands well the cause of the constitutional weakness of our volunteer militia organization, Discipline is impossible so long as the major-general commanding is liable to have severy act he takes repudiated or set \"aside by ministers of militia who, though no doubt sincerely desirous of improving the force, are yet naturally far more anxious to do nothing to imperil the existence of the government at the coming elections.The volunteer regiments are composed of voters, and young voters who can easily be organized as political workers in the election campaigns, and extremely effective workers they make among their relatives and friends.It speaks well in a social sense both for the regimental officers and the men that the feelings which exist between them are almost always of the friendliest and most abiding character.But from the military point of view there is perhaps less reason for satisfaction with relations which are calculated to relax discipline and content both officers and men with the show rather than the reality of sound military training and exercise.The officers, too, provide out of their own pockets or those of relatives the better trappings which go to give the appear- ante of \u2018smaitness\u2019 and \u2018erdckmess\u2019 and Ado Vrgeli-Uvéli hme PF what are Wy vol : ME Cori RE ne SATs bt 0 dier life.An officer who is at once gen- érous, good-natured and possessed of a military bearing under such circumstance naturally commands the allegiance of his men.If he be a man of some prominence and consideration among politicians, and especially \u2018persona grata\u2019 with ministers, and if withal he is shrewd enough to be able to \u2018work\u2019 the depart: ment so as to secure the best treatment for his regiment, he becomes extremely \u2018popular,\u2019 as does his regiment, which will have more than its full complement.When election time comes round the | \u2018colonel\u2019 is an invaluable poMtical worker, his friends are enthusiastic, and the government reaps its reward.The number \u2018of \u2018colonels\u2019 and \u2018majors\u2019 who are elected members of parliament testifies to the political effectiveness of the militia system as af present organized.Its military effectiveness is, however, liable to lose in proportion.The remedy is easily prescribed; it would have been administered long ago were military efficiency a matter of more consideration with government than political exigencies.The Department of Mili tia should in all matters that have to do with the training, discipline and equipment of the forces divest itself completely of direct control and supervision, and should rely implicitly and wholly upon the advice of the officer commanding, upon whom the responsibility for the efficiency of the foree should be fairly placed, with the necessary authority and control.What \u2018the Minister of Militia is mot satisfié® with the general resuits.and finds himself unable to accept the advice of the officer commanding, he should require his resignation, but he should also, before putting his own views in fores, hive them confirmed and ac cepted by another officer commanding who has a thorough knowledge and training in his profession, and will accept the responsibility.Instead of this mode of procedure the minister listens to the complaints and grievances of half-trained officers, with the little knowledge of amateurs, which is a dangerous thing, and if the complaining officers are men of political influence he manages, somewhat shamefacedly, perhaps, to induce the offi- cer- -commanding to submit to what is felt to be a \u2018political necessity.\u201d After each new \u2018experience of this kind the commanding officer must naturally become less and less inclined to attempt to take z EL EY RFT EE ETA NEL HER tal oy CRY se OB BO A eh ee xd tyra ead soem dc - Ton\u201d cas 2 dL Ep MamE ORY dE ge TR Ha TE dC RE

discipline apd training of the volunteer offiters so long, we fear, will political influences prevent the Minister of Militia fram becking up the officer coms | manding in his attempts to reform the volunteers.Why should not Canada seek a remedy in volunteer militia reform as in tariff reform, in a measure of imperial federation?Why not place the volunteer militia, so far as the eontrol of its military discipline and training and, within certain limits of expenditure, its equipment are concerned, under the control of the Imperial army officer ?Make the officer cotumanding directly

pride to accept the discipline of sit Imperial officer.It would also create a new sense of the unity of the empire.The Canadian Government would of course provide for the whole force, and should provide on a Ta sary.If the.expenditure cannot be increased it may prove necessary for the sska of effiviency to maintain-a smaller force.In any case, the government should render it unnecessary, perhaps illegal, for volunteer officers to supply any needs of the fotos.et THE BLACK AND WHITE POPES.The union ef Austria-Hungary seems to of national life for those subjects of the Emperor Francis Joseph, who have at heart the interests of both countries.Both comtries dre in a turmoil over political, wbeial, religious, race and agrarian questions, which have to be fought out in each by its government and opposition parties and settled in each by its own double-chambered house.At the same time there.sre two nating) questigas over das Apte ani sm ghting.| one sovereign, & common army sod avy; | & common financial system snd common diplomsatie, postal and telegraph sexvices.legislation in regard to these is made by delegations sent annually for that purpose by each parliament.The commercial, fiseal and fnan- cial relations of the two countries were regulated by a ten years\" agreement, called the ausgleich, or adjustment.This terminated last year, and has not been renewed because of a failure to reach an agreement.Austria\u2019s share of the common expenses under the old ausgleich was 685 percent and Hungary's 31.4 percent.The dispute as to whether Hungary's share in futûre shall be 43.14 percent, or et least 38 percent, as claimed by Aus trian perties, or 28.2 percent, as claimed by Hungary, seems to be irreconcilable.Hungary holds that the basis should be a fixed proportion of the ordinary revenue of each country ; Austria that the rate should be fixed according to population.The tariff is also a subject of controversy, and also the privileges of the Austro-Hungarian Bank.In Hungary a party called the Kossuthists, led by Mr.Frank Kossuth, whose aim is the independence of Hungary, is growing in strength, end outaumbers all the other parties but the Liberals, while in Austria the National German party is agitating union with Germany.cidlists are at work, snd in the former, especially in the cities, they hove attained considerable strength.In Austria there is an active antf-Semitic party, which is opposed by the Bocislists, and sided by the Clerical parties.In Austria the Germans and in Hungary the Magyars are determined to maintain their race supremacy, and in Austria, where somé of the privileges of the Germans, such as the sole use of their language in the courts have been wrested from them, the political strife bas becqme very bitter.The Clericals, led by the clergy, took the part of the Czechs in this dispute, and the Germans threaten wholesale conversion to Protestantism with & view to union with Germany.Perhaps the most interesting and important agitation, however, is over the eonflicting claims of the nobility and peasantry, the landlords and the tillers of the land.In Hungary and in Austria the peasantry have inade : à most determined stand for what they consider their rights.- In both eouatries more liberal scale than at present neces- divide the joys and double the sorrows - Tn In both Austria sad Hungiry the So- | th Cleieal have-taken the part of the lords.Yet sutong the peuples, theeto the most Tayal sd the mast\u2019 ral to the Roman Catholic Church, there has been shown the utmost boldness-and detarminition in advocating and support: ing their policy in the face of the active: opposition of the clergy.We have before given some account of this struggle in Austria, where the Gex- man nationalists, whose tendencies are the special horror of the Clericals, are attempting to twrn the anti-clerical feelings of the peasants of Bohemia and \u2018the Tyrol to aceount om their own behalf.In Hungaty the movement is no less interesting.There, as well as in Austria, the Roman Catholie pessantry distinguish between the religion and the politics of the Church, betweén clericalism and Roman Catholicism.The peasants attribute the opposition to their as pirations on the part of the clergy, from the highest te the Joes, simply to a conviction at.Rome.that the temporal foo Totereie uf: thi Bhareh sty tia with].those of the.rich nobles and landlords, They have noted the extraordinary political activity of the clergy throughout Hungary, which meddles with all ques bent on reaction at any cost to their own country.Indeed, the small Clerical party, with the aid of other cliques, has obstructed the Hungarian Reichs tag for weeks at a time, even when deal- [ing with sueh important matters as the auagleich.The government has been compelled to threaten a resort to the closure in order to dispose of obstruction, but still the obstruction continues.Like other devout Roman Catholics, the Hungarians have coms to believe that the Church is all right when it attends to religious affairs and all wrong when it interferes in political affairs.They have invented the name of the \u2018White\u2019 Pope for the \u2018venerated head of the Reman \u2018 Cathalic Church, to whom all its mem- \u2018 bers look up with reverence, and whose \u2018behests within the limits of his own \u2018 apheres\u2014that is to say the ecclesiastical ¢ and moral\u2014they all unhesitatingly obey,\u2019 and the name of the \u2018Black\u2019 Pope, on the other hand, for \u2018the symbolic represen- ¢ tative of the supposed interests of the \u2018 papaey and of the system of intrigue| \u2018and violence by which it is 8 attempted [ieo, \u2018 struggle which is as damaging to true \u2018religion as it is to material prosperity \u201cand progress.\u2019 The reference here is to Italy, where the clericals are held to have been encouraged by the Pope in his recent address to the Cardinals to carry on the revolutionary struggle there against the state with a view to recovering the temporal power of the Church.In Hungary, and in Austria too, the anti-clerical parties are trying to convince the people that to the end of reestablishing its temporal power the papacy is working against all the nations of the Triple Alliance and in favor of the nations of the Dual Alliance.They argue that in America there are thousands of good and devoted Catholics who firmly believe, and bold to their belief without prejudice to themselves or injury to their religious standing, that the restoration of the temporal power is not an integral part of the Roman Catholic faith, and that a renunciation \u2018of it by the Church would be a great gain to that institution and to mankind.And if this can he held by good Catholies in America why not in Hungary, they ask.The ultramon- tane parties in Austria-Hungary are, however, pursuing their political course with determination, and what the result will be remains to be seen.CANADA\u2019S BIG OUTPUT.San Francisco, Jan.12.\u2014John J.Valentine, president of the Wells Fargo Express Company, bas issued the annual statement of production of

the petitions for the Montreal city, the Que bee city, the.Borel and the Longueuil \u2018bills, for amendments to the charter of the Quebec: Central Railway and to authorise the sale of certain property by the Montreal City Corporation to the Grand Trunk Railway Company for offices were presented.The Hon.Mr.Robidoux gave notice of the introduction of the Education bil Tine Ton Coe acier ais gare nor) tice of motion for dde correspondence relative to the offer of Campbell, Shéare# & Co., \u2018of London, to erect a great abattoir at Levis on certain terms.Mr.Robitaille, amid ministerial applause, then rose to move the address in reply.The member for Quebec Centre, who is always eloquent, excelled himself on this occasion.He took up the paragraphs of the speech one by one, and dwelt upon them, He consdered the references to the departure of Lord and Lady Aberdeen, the arrival of Lord and Lady Minto, the opening of the international conference in Quebec and the inauguration of the Champlain monument very appropriate.He paid glowing tributes to the memory of Cardinal Taschereau, Sir Adolphe Chapleau and the late member for Levis, Mr.Nazaire Oilivier.He congratulated the govern- tuent upon having so successfully carried out its policy of retrenchment and concluded by saying that the result of the recent by-elections was the best refutation of the charge that they had lost the public confidence.Dr.Cotton, the new member for Mis sisquoi, who secontled the motion, was received with prolonged applause \u2018by both sides, on rising.He svoke we'l and was listened to all through with marked attention.Recalling che fact mem for Missisquoi had been called en to second the address, he remarked casently that it was necessary.that \u2018he, | to show that prie dam uci 0 de pr soir va va rare He | .eee due ml tt Lori \"tés Berg ou 4 recent occasion, he should.say that nobody could understand, and get tlie government into trouble.Ue said therefore, that the best thing for him to do was to keep within safe lines.He accordingly referred to the satisfactory condition of the crops last year and of the whole county as revealed by the bank statements.Referring to the deaths of certain remarkable men mentioned in the speech, he remarked that, if their departure was mourned, it was at least a satis- factiqn to know that others would take their places.He spoke of the international conference as one of the great events of the year, and expressed confidence that good would come out of it.He regretted the departure of Lord and Lady Aberdeen, but spoke hopefully of their successors, Lord and Lady Minto.He also paid à high compliment to Lieut- enant-Governor Jetté, and then turning to the strictly business features of the speech be congratulated the government upon its intention to reintroduce its education bill.At the same time, he expressed his own opinion in favor of compulsory education, as he thought that every child in the province should be able to read and write.He also thought that more attention should be given to elementary education and tbat superior education might be left to trust more to take care of itself, especially vhen our wealthy men were endowing it so liberally.He then referred to agricuiture a8 the backbone of the province, and praised the government for what it had done to improve the lot of the farmers.At the same time, he thought there wag no reason why this great province should \u201cFrivitucs nu Hétic' Peak Be ahio Gon that this was the second time that a | \u201cwhit one LV change\u2018 \u2018ported

had come iti.Immense amounts had been spent upon them, yet they continued bad, because the system was bad.He contrasted their condition with that of the old Roman roads, which had been built, so to speak, for all time, and expressed the hope that the present movement would result in permanent good.He also congratulated the government upon the improvement in the finance and the remarkable progress that had been made towards the restoration of the equilibrium.Speaking of the great futurs in store for the Trrovince-in connection with its water powers and the conversion of its spruce forests into pulp and paper, he \u2018pointed out how far the he conntzy had already gone in.the direction, at Grand \u2018Mere, at Shawenegam and other points: He also referrer to the harnessing of the Lachine and of the Chambly rapids, and the building up of tlie village \u2018of Magog by its water powers as examples of the great possibilities of these powers.Of the.\u2018International Coufer-

CRITICISM.The Hon.Mr.Flymn, the Opposition leader, followed amid the applause of the Conservative side of the House.After complimenting the mover and seconder, he proceèded to criticise the speech, which be likened to a hotel menu, with its entrees and.pieces de resistance.But in this case, he said, the \u2018 government bill of fare was nearly all entrees.He laughingly alluded to the contrast between the way in which the Liberals had spoken of Sir Adolphe Chapleau during his life, and the way they now praised him after death.The Opposition leader then went on to pay à high tribute of praise to- -Lieutenant-Governor Jetté and to Lord and Lady Aberdeen, while he also spoke.hopefully- of their succes- softs, and feelingly of the loss that Canada and the Church had sustained by the death of.£ Cardinal Taschereau.He deprecated the-reference in speech to the international conferenceSand did not see why\u2019 federal matters should be introduced inta- the \"Provincial Legislature, taunting the Liberals with the inconsistency of their conduct in this respect.\u201d With\u2019 all other good citizens be trusted, however, that good results would flow from the conference.On the education question, he twitted the government upon the evident change in the policy, as indicated by the en-' nouncement \u2018this year - that it did not toéisfurb the Pie the \u201coutcome of the re- Bruchesi?- At the same time he would say that he was pleased to see that the government had adopted the views of the Opposition; on the subject of education.He \u2018also claimed for the Conservative party all the credit of the fish and game organization and the extension of the provincial territory to James's Bay, while, as regards the new laws regulating public lands, he warned the government that they were a dangerous subject to treat.Coming to the financial question, he denied the.existence of the pretended Conservative deficit lest year, and contended that the government had failed to show where and how it had reduced the expenses.He complimented the Commissioner of Agriculture on carrying out the good rvads policy of his prede- cesgor, but claimed that the colonization movement had been exaggerated.He claimed that as far back as 18084 the Conservatives had taken steps to help the pulp industry, one of the results of which was the establishment at Grand Mere.But he regretted that more precautions were not taken to protect this important industry, which could be further helped by reducing the stumpage.THE PREMIER'S REPLY.The premier closed the debate with a very able reply to the Opposition leader.He repudiated any desire or intention on the part of his government to mix federal with local politics by the reference to the \u2018international conference, while on the subject of education he denied that there had not been any change not become as great an exporter of dairy of the\u2019 Nomh-West, 6,000,000: |§ possessions Australasia, States of America,

development of the fisheries ner- vice, be claimed that it was due to the Liberal administration from 1896 to 1801, while as the finances he oon- tended that the results obtained by: the present government were most satisfactory, as from the immense deficit which they had found on coming to power and the existence of which could not be denied, they had by wise economy.come down tos comperatively small one, Which they hoped to wipe out altogether befora long.He admitted that Mr.Beaubien had done good to agriculture, but contended that the present government wus doing better, especially in-the matter of good roads.As regarded the Crown lands, he also maintained that: his government had greatly improved on the administration of its predecessors.In regard to the question of pulp, he intimated that if the United States continued its import duty on it, the government would take all the means.at its disposal to further stimulate its manufacture in this province.Regarding railways, he announced that the govern- on: ment did not-intend to grant any farther subsidy until the equilibrium had been restored in the finances.After the premiers speech, which was warmly applauded by his followers, the address was adopted, and, after some important routine business, the House adjourned until Monday.IN THE LRGISLATIVE COUNCIL.In the Legislative Council the address was also carried after a brief debate, the mover being the Hon.Mr.Perodeau and the seconder the Hon.Mr.McCorkill, and the other speakers being the Hon.Messrs.Chapais, Archambault and Mar cil.NOTES OF THE

Caius was defenceless, for so peaceful was the country to which he was accustomed that he carried no weapon.He took his present danger little to heart.There was a strange buoyancy\u2014born, no doubt, of the bracing wind\u2014in his spirit.If they were going to kill him\u2014well, he would die hard; and a man can but die once, A laugh arose from the men ; it sounded to him as strange a sound, for the time and place, as the almost human «ry of the horse a few minutes before.Then O'Shea came towards him with \u201cgestures.- The two men went into.the gap of the sand-hills from.must have come.¢ Ladk here,\u2019 said.O'Shea, roughly, \u2018do ve value Jou life Wi Caius folded his arms, and made this answer with well-bred.contempt.\u2018And ye shall have your life, but on one condition.Take out.of your begs \u2018what's needed for dealing with the sick this noight, for there's a dying man ye must visit before ye sleep, and the condition is that ye walk on to The Cloud by yourself on this beach, without once looking behind ye.Moind what I say! | Ye shall go free\u2014yerself, yer mnoney, and yer midicines\u2014if ye walk from here to: the second house that ie a loighthouse without once turning yer head ur looking behoind ye\u201d He pointed to the bags with a gesture of rude authority.\u2018Take out what ye need, and begone !\u2019 \u2018I shall do nothing of the sort,\u2019 replied Caius, his arms still folded.The boy came near enough to bear what was said, but he did not interfere.\u2018And why not ?asked O\u2019Shea, a jeer in his tones.\u2018 Because I would not trust one of you not to kill me as soon as my back was turned.\u2019 \u201cAnd if your back isn\u2019t turned, and that pretty quick, too, ye\u2019ll not live many hours\u201d \u201cI prefer to die looking death in the | face ; but it\u2019Il be hard for the man who | attempts to touch me.\u2019 \u2018Oh!

if ye want to look death in the face, come and see what ye've got to look at.\u2019 Caius followed reluctantly, keeping his own distance.(O'Shea.passed the shivering pony, and went into the opening of the dupe, which was now all in shadow because of the black eloud in the sky.Inside was a emall valley.Its.eand- banks might have been made of bleached bones,\u201d they looked so gray and dead.Just within the opening was ua unexpected aight-\u2014e row.af hooded and muffed.Bgares stood upright in the eand.There \u2018was something appalling in the sight to Caius.Each man was placed at exactly the same distance from .his fellow ; they seemd to stand with heads bowed, and hands clasped in iront of their breasts; faces and hands, like their forms, were hooded and muffled.Caius did not think, or analyze his emotion.No doubt the regular file of the men, ing discipline which has such terrible force for weal or woe, and their at | titudes, suggesting motives and thoughts of whieh he could form not the faintest explanation, were the two clements which made the scepe fearful to hig.= O'Shea stopped a few.paces from the nearest figure, and Caius stopped a few paces nearer the opening of the dune.\u2018Ye see these men ?said O'Shea.- Caius did not answer.O'Shea raised his voice :\u2014 \u2018I say before them what I have said, that if yell swear here before honor, \u2018thag yell walk frag |! here to the loighthouee of The Cloud\u2014 which ye shall find in the straight iN of the beach\u2014withont once turning yer head or looking behoind ye, neither men nor beast nor devil 5 do ye any i | and yer properties shall be ye when a cart can be Sa ke Will ye swear-?Caius \u2018made no anwwer.He wag lock.ing intently.As soon as the tones of O\u2019Shea\u2019s vaice were carried away by the bluster of the wind, as far as the human beings there were concerned there wag perfeet stillness ; the surf and the wind might have been sweeping the dunes alone.\u201c And if I will not swear ¥ asked Caius, in a voice that was loud emouzh to reach to the last man in the long single rank, O'Shea stepped nearer him, and, as if in pretence of wiping his face with his gloved hand, he sent him a hissing his.per that gave a sudden change of friendliness and confidence to his voice, \u2018Don\u2019t be a fool !

or else Caius imagined he said it.Caius new at least what the boy wished him o do.The pony moved nearer, shivering with cold, and Caius realized that the condi tion of wet and cold in which they were need not be prolonged.) \u2018T promise,\u201d he shouted angrily, * Ill keep the promise, whatever Pi reason there may be for it; but if I'm attacked from behind\u2014\u2014 He added treats loud and violent, for he was very Before he had finished speaking\u2014the thought might have been browght by sone movement in the shadow of the cloud, and by the sound of the wind, or by his heated brain\u2014but the thought came to him that O'Shea, under fur coat, had indulged in strange, laughter, Caius cared nothing.He bad made his decision ; he had given his word ; he had no thought now but to take what of his traps he could carry and be gone on his journey.CHAPTER VI.-THE SEA-MAID, Caius edessiond that he had still | fee mien the level beagh to tread.he fet the send under fort.ha Juels #0 dead with cold.ok spray from the tide struck his face sideways.He had time now to watch each variation, each-in and out of the dune, and he looked at them eagerly, as the only change that was afforded to the monotony.Then for the first time he learned how completely.a man is shyt out from all one half of the world by the simple command not to look behind, and all the unseen half of his world became rife, in his thought, with mysterious creatures and their works.At first he felt that he pes couriing oot > certain donth by keeping the wor the clap of the waves he ee Lens the pistol-shot that was to be his doom, or the knife-like breath of the wind seemed the dagger in the hand of a following murderer.But as he went on and ne evil fate befell, his fear died, and.only curiosity remaeined\u2014a curiosity ex lively that it fixed eagerly upon the.stretch of the surf behind him,upon his own footsteps left on the soft sand, upon the sand-hills that be had passed, although they were almost the same as the eand- hills that were before.It would have been a.positive joy to him to turn and look at any of these things.While his mind dwelt upon it, he almost grudged each advancing.step, because it put more of the interesting warid into the region from \u2018which he was shut out as wholly as if a wall of separation sprang up be tween the behind and before.By en effort of AIF be turned bbs thonght frem his desire, or from consi ering what the mystetious something could be that it was all-ix t for him not to.geo 4 ex that in this desolate would spy>upon him if he broke his VOW.When his activity had set the blood again coursing warmly in his veins, from his mind and heart, as a mist rolled away by the wind.The sweet, wild air, \u2018that in those ee is an elixir of life to the stranger, making him young if be Jf.he be young making him igo in days of yore for à day and à night had been doing its work upon him.Mere life and motion became to him a delight such as he had never = \u2018before; and when the moon from the other side of sight of her beams upon was like a rare wild jor.that no one interfered with .that he was, as far as be > witht the clouds that were way among moonbeams in and with the waves and L with which he held compan- gone a mile, it might be more; Step behind him.In vain he to edaviace himself: that some noise tural to the lonely bedch deceived him tide of life: that the brac- brought him; his senses were fas.ff TE je ot jr il zo jF £ i Te § od trae.He knew that he heard A ; + : PY yg EPL O asc f HIRVIERCESATRU: EXTEC US -ULEÉ x._ Bees BENNY & Coan To.mans SYERAETATEEHEUENES =eceres \u201ci, .x Pa) + À T4NRSS BEATERRES 42 ETHEHS L7tO EXS.FHB.F293.208.SR2ERUT VASE Diss god Cam : + wr 3g _» d motion s he had he moos r wide of ms upon wild joy- red with far as be hat were this step: it was light, like a child\u2019s; it was nimble, like a fawn\u2019s; sometimes it was very near him.He was not in the jeast afraid; but do what he would, his mind could form no idea of what creature it might ke who thus attended him.No dark or fearful picture crossed his mind just then; all its images were good.The fleet of white clouds that were sailing in the sky rang glad changes upon the Leauty of the moonlit scene.Half \u201c a mile or more Caius walked listening to the footstep; then he came on a wrecked boat buried in the sand, ite rim laid bare by- the tide.Caius struck his foot and fell upon it.Striking his head, stunned for a moment, then springing up again, in the motion of falling or rising, he knew mot how, he saw the beach behind him\u2014the waves that were now nearing the foot of the dune, the track between with his fcotsteps upon it, and, standing in this track, alert to fiy if need be, the figure of a girl.Her dress was all blown by the wind, her curling hair was like a twining garland round her face, and her face\u2014ah! that face: he knew it as well as, far better than he knew his own; its oval turves, its dimpled sweetness, its \u2018Jyst-for such brief sec- gt of trs Wn were: necessary fof per: fect recognitith\u2019 Be saw\u2019 it; and them, impelled by his former purpose\u2014no time now for a new yolition\u2014he got himself up and walked on, with his eyes in front as before.He thought the sea-maid did not know that he had seen her, for her footsteps came on after his own.Or, if she knew, she trusted him not to turn.That was well; she might trust him, Never in bis life had Cains felt less temptation to do the thing that he held to be false He knew now, for he had seen the whole line of the beach, that there was nothing there for him to fear, nothing that could give any adequate reason ta any man to compel him to walk as he now walked.That did not matter; he had given his word.In the physical exaltation of the hour the best of him wes uppermost.Like the angels, who walk in heavenly paths, he had no desire to ba a thing that could stcop from moral rectitude.The knowledge that his old love of the sea was his companion only enhanced the strength of his vow, only made all that the strength of vows mean more dear to him; and the moonlit shore was more beautiful, and life, each moment that he was then \u2018iving, more absolutely good.So they went on, and he did not try to think where the sea-maid had come from, or whether the gray flapping, dress and the girlish step were but the phantom guise which she could don for the hour, or whether, if he should turn and pursue her, she would drop from her upright height into the scaly fords that he had once seen, and pl inta the \u2018waves, OF whether that ¥ on thas\u201d had bun of \u2018the land.- Cosi wilat EE is | a oe f ed the beach that night with The beautiful spirit that the face of the sea-maid interpreted to him.(To be Continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.THE AWAKENING OF CALEB.(Mary A.Roberts, in \u201cCentral Christian Advocate\u2019) He was lame, and his pigeon-toed halt called forth the ridicule of his playmates.The boys did not meen to be unkind when they laughed at Caleb.They were thoughtless.Thoughtless boys are nearly always kind boys when they are aroused, but it usually takes something akin to an earthquake to wake them up.Caleb was poor.He had grown too fost and was distressingly awkward.He never knew his lessons.He did not pay attention and was continually in dirgrace.All of these things could have been forgiven him, bad he not been so untidy.His hands were always grimy and his face was always smudged; his clothes were unwashed and his hair was uncombed.In the two roomed house which he celled home and shared with seven other children, Caleb slept in the dry geeds box that served as a table.The box was turned with the open side toward the door.When the boy rose in the morning he was ready for breakfast, if there wns any, and if there was not he went out of the door and seldom returned nntil time to go to bed.~At \u201csefcol- the teachers tried to improve his -personal habits, but at last gave up, and put him in an \u2018isolated seat in the corner.One autumn a slender girl took the reins of school government in her hands.She did aot look equal to the stitring western school of eighty pupils, and the patrons said so, one to another, Of all these things Miss Wolcott was screnely ignorant, and as the school days went by the rough boys grew less rough and the rule girls less rude.She cxamiñed Caleb\u2019s grimy, finger-marked copybook and laid her hand on his unkempt curls.\u2018You can do better than that, Caleb,\u2019 she said, \u2018run and wash Jour hax hands, The boy.looked up dogged Isn't any towel,\u2019 he said.\u2018I will give you one\u201d He was gone 3 lor long time.Miss Wol- cott went in séarch of him and found him gazing ruefully at his black paw- marks in the snowy linen.\u2018Try a little more soap and water, Caleb,\u201d said Miss Wolcott.He did, and the effect was pleasing to \u2018him, for he smiled broadly and gazed long at his white hands.\u2018Take this fresh page of your copy, book and see how nice -you can keep it) said Miss Wolcott.The next day he splashed about in SATURDAY, JANUARY 1 4, 1599, the wash-basin without being told to de 80.He applied soap and water to his face, and surprised everyone, himself included.Day by day the pages of the copy-book grew whiter and the letters neater.One morning he took off his coat and proudly displayed his shirt, \u2018I washed it myself,\u2019 he said.\u2018It looks very nice,\u2019 said Miss Wolcott, smiling brightly at him \u2018Here is a little comb which I want you to have.\u2019 He did not thank her, but stood first on one foot and then on the other and smiled, showing his even white teeth, He learned his lessons, and was no longer looked upon as simple-minded.When the examination reports were list.\u2018How do you like your new teacher, Caleb?asked the janitor one day.\u2018Things aren\u2019t like they used to be; he said.\u2018Miss Wolcott is kind to a fellow, and never knocks him about or says mean things to him once.\u2019 \u2018She will if you go to acting up.\u2019 Caleb smiled and half closed his dark eyes.\u2018We'll see,\u201d he said aloud, and to himself, \u2018I shan\u2019t act up.The date of the annual exhibition of school work drew near.Hundreds of sheets of paper were to be neatly lined with red ink.Miss Woleptt grew weary.\u201cWho can help me?she asked herself.\u2018No one,\u201d and she went on ruling.On Saturday morning Caleb appeared at Miss Wolcott's door.His face and hands were clean and every curl was erisp and tight.\u2018Let me help you rule the papers, Miss Wolcott,\u2019 he said.\u2018She was very tired and felt at first annoyed that she should have to bé bothered with the boy.Then her true self rose above the weariness, and she redlized that it might be her opportunity to help the friendless child.So she gave him work on condition that be did not spoil many sheets.He worked rapidly and neatly.The next Saturday he helped Miss Wolcott carry all of the dainty ribbon-tied essays, stories and | written recitations to the school-room \u2018The papers are all.yo nice, they are worth a great deal to me, Caleb,\u2019 said Miss Wolcott as she closed the schoolroom door.That night the fire whistle ran its terrifying chromatic scale.Miss Wol- cott looked out of her window,\u2014the tened to the burning house.The roof fell in as she neared it, and two firemen carried someone out on a shutter.It was Caleb.His arms were full of papers.He had heard the alarm and hastened to save the exhibition work.He was taken to a hospital, and Miss Wolcott stayed by his side.At last he opened his eyes and smiled, \u2018I saved some of them,\u2019 he said.Then \"he lapsed again into unconsciousness.Caleb\u2019s bravery awakened the interest of the schoolboys and they spent their.time by his cot.As he =» or hv so wine.its 3 gr.salé he would tka fn HA our \u2018home as though he were his son.il we couldn\u2019t do better, said Harold.\u2018But I think by the way \u2018he said it that he expects us to do better\u2014I mean to think of something better \u2018Well, there\u2019s his mother and brothers and sisters,\u201d said another.\u2018Perhaps they could do better if they had a chance.\u201d \u2018Let\u2019s go and see \u2019em,\u2019 said Lester, and they started off at once.The boys stayed but a moment in the poor little home, \u2018Gee!\u2019 said Harold, as they started toward home, \u2018Barefooted in March.\u2019 \u2018And there wasn\u2019t a thing in the cupboard,\u2019 said another.Let's ask Mise Wolcott to come and help us fix them up,\u2019 said Lester, \u2018I'm not very gocd at washing dirty \u201clittle kids\u2019 faces.What do the rest of you sav?\u2018I wish that we could do it all ourselves,\u201d said Harold, thoughtfully.\u2018Harold has a scheme,\u2019 said Lester.\u2018Yes, I have, and I want to talk to father about it.Harold spoke to his father that evening.\u2018You see, father,\u2019 he said, \u2018I think that the right way to help people is to help them to help themselves.\u2019 The man smiled down very indulgently at the earnest lad.\u2018What had you thought of my son?\u2018Well, I bardly know, but I have wondered if they could not do something to pay the rent on our cottage.There are three acres of land there and those boys could raise chickens and vegetables.\u201d \u2018That is quite a grown up plan for such à little lad.Talk it over with the rest of the boys and see what they can suggest.\u2019 A meeting was held in the school room the next evening.The boys suggested \u2018and discussed until the room was almost dark.\u2018What does Caleb\u2019s mother do?asked one boy.\u2018fhe makes vests,\u2019 fellow in the corner.\u2018Gone from home all day, I suppose,\u2019 said.Harold.\u2018Yes.\u2018Our housekéeper says it\u2019s worth a dollar & week to keep my clothes mended\u201d said Lester.\u2018What do you fellows say to hiring Caleb\u2019s mother to keep us mended up until we think of something better?-It was agreed to by all the boys, and the big family was transferred to the pretty suburban cottage.\u2018Say, Caleb\u2019s mother can\u2019t saw wood,\u2019 said one of the boys some days later.\u2018Well, we can,\u2019 said Harold.\u2018And thst garden must be ploughed,\u2019 said another.\u2018I'll work at home for James and he will bring the plough, and do a.first class job, at that.He said he.would, said Lester.Caleb slowly recovered from the fever which was the result of the fire.The boys did not have much

GENERAL.THE HYMN \u2018LEAD KINDLY LIGHT.H.R,, Blyth, Ont.~Please give an account of the origin of the hymn, \u2018Lead, Kindly Light amid the encircling gloom.\u2019 Ans\u2014 This hymn was written by the Rev.John Henry Newman, at that time a clergyman of the Church of England.The hymn ts by many supposed to refer to the author's contemplated subscription to Roman Catholic dogmas, and his consequent doubts and {into form fears.This supposition, however, is er- Toneous, as will appear from his own account of his thoughts and feelings at the time.He was, indeed, in great perplexity of mind at the time of his composition of this hymn, but had no thought of affiliation with Rome.Between pages 94 and 100 of the work \u2018Apologia pro sua Vita,\u2019 he writes: chlorite, etc.It is generally of a graylish- green culor, sometimes dark gresn;

2 that angel faces refers to the faces cf those Spirits gent to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation; 3, that the lines indicate the existence gt a hope of reunion fn heaven with loved\u2018bnes gone before;

HAIR FALLING, Young Teacher.\u2014Healthy, hair falls.Is Ory and harsh: dandruff on the scalp.Is Roose oil injurious?Ans,~Some sort of oll is needed for every case of dry hair to make the skin and its appendages soft.Goose oil is not harmful unless rancid.A cool head is apt to retain the bair.The Pervlexitiee of teaching draw an active circulation into the head æni may overheat it, The close air of some school rooms, with over activity of the mental powers,while digestion may be imperfectly performed, \u2018and the action of the howels very sluggish, tend to overheat the head.Teachers require ex- crcise of the limbs in the open air to draw circulaticn from the head, 4nd increase the activity of circulation in the Intarnal or- gang, [Exercise is of little value unless the alr breatted is pure.Bedrooms, sitting rocms and schoolrooms, should be well ventilated.Danliruff is a local disease, probably duc to the multipiication of certain organisms found in the follicles.In dealing with hair locally one must remember that nothing will reach the health of the hair which cann>t sink into the follicle, a little inversion of the skin, where the balr, like the nalts, is developed out of the outer layer of the skin.In dealing with diseases due tb organisms, eMcient application his to be mede to prevent the development of new cropa of orgarisms.Very constant trent- ment ard thoroughness will give the best results.Ringworm, for Instance, may rever be cured, if time is given between applications of an abtiscptic for the fungus to incresse, or if the fungus can exist in the follicle while the application does not sufficiently penetrate to destroy It.Some have used rafined carbolic soap, which relieves the irritation of dryness and of dandruff.Organisms can be got rid of to some extent by mechanical means, ns thorough washing with a lather of soap; warn water and dissolved borax.Less oil is needed, and more spirits when thc scalp tends to be oily, Wlison\u2019s lotion, often given, jg um follows: Oil of sweet almonds; liquor am- wopia, tne Junce of each; spirits nf rosemary, water and honey, three drachms of each, mixed to make the lotion.This should be rubbed into the roots of the hair where it Is thin, or the head is becoming bold.The ammonia is a stimulan* which mey ba required to increase circulation, In other cases a quinine lotion would -be better.One drachm, disaolved In dilute sulphuric acid, might be added to three drachms each of glycerine, water, \u2018and spirits of rosemary, and these mixed with cocoa nut ofl up to four ounces.Suiphur, 10 to 40 grairs to an ounce of vasetine rubbed into the rcots of the hair, is found serviceable in severe cases of dandrufr, where the hair is dry, at the same time washing the hair with a hot soapy lather, Vidal's piescription is ss follows: Precipitate of suiphar, one and a-half drachms; cocoa butter, two an\u201d a-half drachme; castor ofl, four and a-balf drachma: tincture of hen.zoin, a few drops to make it fri ant; also a lotion In needed.containing spy, sort, which assists to penetrate the follteles.| Any: form ~ SATURDAY, JANUARY 14, 1899.or deacon?Ans.\u2014A deacon is ordained by, of spirit is Œrying to the hair : ted mot be used without ofl to counter 5 this result.Strong antiseptic may be employed to discourage ths life of vegatuh.parasites, Quinine sulphate needs t dissolved in a little dilute sulphuric de and added to a penetrating oil.Vaseline is very penetrating;

but their skill exhibited itself more in the artistic than \u2018the engineering side of their profession.In the latter branch they may almost be looked upon as experimentalists, and in view of the nature of the soil of Venice, the wonder is that their structures have lasted five or six hundred years, especial- Doge |15F-when it is remembered that they did \u2018| hot scruple to add great.weight in the r of superstructurps to \u2018buildings which -\u2014\u2018St.James's\u2019 Budget.\u2019 had been erected for centuries without strengthening the foundations.\u2018This is Ducal Palace, where the beautiful thirteenth and fourteenth century arcades have been crowned in later times by a heavy solid upper story, which detracts from both the artistic beauty and the stabil\u2018ty of the edifice.Of course, no one would for a moment suggest the removal of the upper story, though every one must regret that it was eyer superimposed upon the beautiful and delicate arcades beneath it, and that we are unable now tn see the Ducal Palace as left by its earlier and far abler architects, Their work is indeed exquisite, as we may judge from the delicately-treated entrance gateway leading into the courtyard, and the staircase connecting the pair - basilica of St.Mark\u2019s, represented in our illustrations.And how extremely ele gant was, or would have been, the crowning features of the noble building if they had completed it.Tt only remains to express the hope that | restoration which may be undertakga will be confined strictly to - structurel.necessities, and ngt to ret renovations.;

up.Experts expected it might fetch about £25.The bidding began at £5, and soon reached £30, when only two brokers remained in the competition, which, to the amazement of every one present, advanced in £5 bids to an and then jumped in steps of £10 to £ Finally, one of the bidders retired, and the chair was knocked down to his successful rival at the price of £670.The secret of this strange sale is quite simple.Sir Donald Currie had seen the name ou the back of the chair, and had com- misgioned an Edinburgh broker to buy it.* Next day, forgetting what he had done, he instructed a Glasgow broker to bid for the chair, and these two were the rival bidders; with the result that Sir Donald is now the possessor of what is probably the most costly old oak chair in the world.\u2014Liverpool

there is a class of secondary schools in which a more extensive course is given to boys of from thirteen to sixteen or seventeen; and there is a system of higher training for the sons of large landowners, and those intended to be managers of large estates, agricultural engineers and professors and teachers of agriculture.Most countries, however, have adopted a system of travelling instructors or professors, who not only superintend the egricul- tura] courses given in the primary schools of the district, but also hold conferences and give lectures, and advise and keep themselves closely in touch with the actual cultivators of the soil.Agricultural schools for the farmers\u2019 daughters, in which they are taught what is called in France the lore of the farm-yard and farm-house, including the rearing \u2018of poultry, the feeding and tending of live stock, cooking, domestic economy and the keeping of farm ae- counts, are also to be found now in The zeport also quotes annual- report on agricultural.education in France, who says: \u2018Our schools now are far better attended than they used \u2018I to be, everywhere people are working J with zeal, and the scientific spirit has invaded the farm.Young men of in- \u2018telligence are becoming more attached to rural life, and the children brought up in our country districts, when they receive an appropriate agricultural education, will be less tempted to go into the towns to increase the already too great number of those chronic unemployed who corstitute to-day a perpetual danger to society.\u2019 - .LIVE STOCK NOTES.There are a number of ways of curing pork, but the most favored method seems jto consist in dry-salting the fresh meat on a table or bench.The half-pig is cut iuto three pieces\u2014the ham, side, and shoulder.With large, thick pigs, it is \u2018well to cut out the shoulder at the joint, taking out the shoulder blade, With, \" | smaller pigs up to two hundred and fifty pounds the fore quarter may be left at- Itached to the side or.severed straight across and salted sepatatély.Now remove thé ribs and rub the feshÿ surface |with saltpetre\u2019and then the entire surface } with dry salt.Pile the piéces in tiers.Lon a table or bench and leave for five : {days, thën \u2018turn the entire pile; placing \u201clithe upper.pieces on the.bottom after\u2019 \u201cræubbing each piece with salt, and if any [parts appear red or fresh apply a little two or thse wi rid agAlX; as.befo bor, three weeks longer.It\" keep if ii a dark place, which preserves \u2018the cléar, bright appearance.It is now | ready.For market, or it may be hung up in cotton bags in an airy shed, or it may bz packed in dry oat hulls.Some prefer to have it.smoked after it is cured when it is to be used at home, but for market the smoking may be objected to.The hams may be .treated in much the same way, but pickling the hams is generally preferred.The fresh hams are placed in a pickle consisting of salt brine, to which is added ten pounds of brown sugar to five gallons of brine.At the end of four or five weeks in this pickle it is ready to be hung up in.bage, or otherwise preserved from the light.With the necessary well-matured corn ensilage on hand such as we have here on Mr.Tillson\u2019s farm, with clover, alfalfa and timothy hay, oats, straw, peas, barley, turnips and ma@gels; an excellent balanced ration can profitably be compounded, which will practically give, with a little trouble and figuring, the same proportion of digestible nutriments with a ration of about 1 to 5.9, as follows: Organic matter, 25; protein, 2.5 to 8; carbohydrates, 13 to 15; and fat, .60 to .70.To make the above we use about 45 pounds ensilage, 4 to 6 of bran, and about equal parts pes meal, colton-seed, and you can add oat chaff and clover hay.For several years the above figures, with only slight variations, have constituted the\u2019 rations on this farm, but of course the use of these feeds: depends entirdly om; the relative valpe, sud a fluctuation\u2019 of the et- may -Heces- sitate a change by the selling or buying to a financial advantage, but please note that in \u2018making up our mixtures several stuffs other than méntioned are pur] chased, viz, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal, and hran; the latter, in my opinion, being most essential.With a surplus\u2019 of oat straw and timothy, by all means sell same, and as horses (the only animals fed timothy) do well on clover, tor half timothy and clover, with about 15 pounds ensilage added, and a little bran and oats, sell as much as possible of the {timothy hey, which, in my opinion, should only be grown to a limited extent.Clover being a nitrogenous plant, is therefore valuable for our land.Would sell sur plus of oats, dispose of barley or feed to hogs, and buy bran, cotton-seed meal or inseed meal.The cotton-seed meal is of great manurial value to the farm, and in raising and feeding stock this import ant point should always be kept in view.In compounding valuation of roots at their feeding value, and from analyses which I accept from the best authority of our esteemed college profemsors,.roots on an average give a very low comparative feeding value.Still, roots (turnips and mangels), when fed to steers, with oa} straw added to emhance their value, prog detail the various systems of agricultur- good results follow.M.Tiseard\u2019s | Pl | CANADIANS IN SYRIA.THE REV.DR.G.HOWIE AND FAMILY AT MOUNT LEBANON.\u2014\u2014 The departure of the Rev.Dr.Howie for Syria, some yeats since, was noted at the time with much interest by many friends who had followed his career as a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.Despite his affliction\u2014for Dr.Howie is blind\u2014he preached and worked acceptably in Canada for some years, until at length he resolved to go to Syrin, language.Dr.Howie describes his journey out from Montreal on the steamship \u2018Lake Ontario\u2019 and how he reached Mount Zion, \u201cbeginning at Jerusalem\u2019 His pains and anxieties at first to reach the people were great, but God anticipated his difficulties and gave him grace and \u2018people in quite a remarkable manner.\u2018Even their ecclesiastical buildings became open to us,\u2019 he mays.20 \u2018It was tha:village of Shweir, Mount where he hoped to preach Christ to the ' natives, his fellow countrymen, in their .EV dora, born since the family have i Syria.It was taken at Bevronr bably the sume as II.Sam.viii,, 8, Eye}.x}vii,, 16,\u2018and Judges viii., 33.Beyrou: is the living point of contact of the east with European and American civilization and waterworks, harbor, gas and ;

to do on earth, and caused health to come back siowly ; but there was little left.Mind shattered, ears dulled of hearfng, one eye gone and the other dimmed, one arm crippled, one side partly paralyzed\u2014sure- .ly even the Lord would expect little service from such a mortal.A Presbyterian minister took pity, on the little Mexican, gave\u2019 him a Testament, taught him a little English, then sided him te ender.onr mjmsion school db Las Vegas.Biblé trutä drew the ten- der-hearted.boy, wha mgon confessed his faith, then began to tell to others * what Christ has done fof::my heart.\u201d This was the theme, while the desire burned more dnd more \u2018to-go and tell mv peo ple in Mexico what Christ has done for my heart\u2019 1 have met many lrotes- tant Mexicans but never have I known one who had-such a personal experience in spiritua} life, ;

mo church building was yet in immediate prospect to warrant their calling themselves trustees, and they stuck to facts.They entered into a bond guaranteeing a stipend of £125 per annum, £50 of which was obtained from the colonial fund of the | 1 quboun resigned, and for a time the see- tle over fifty souls.In 1842 Mr.Col- vices were conducted by the Rev.Mr.Rogers, of Peterboro\u2019, and others.In 1845 the congregation determined upon having a church building, and two acres of land were purchased in the village, for which £50 was paid, a transaction which proves that land was by no means cheap in the village in those early KEENE\u2019S FIRST CHURCH.The church was built in the year 1848 at a cost of £300, of which sum £50 was one share of a donation of £500 from the Hon.Isaac Buchanan to the first ten churches erected after the disruption in connection with the Free Church of Scotland.The first -subseription list in aid of the building fund of this church will doubtless be carefully preserved by the congregation, as it reveals the pleasing fact that people of all dememinations, both Roman Catholic and Protestant, and all nationalities in.the neighborhood, contributed according to their means.The church was at first seated with boards resting on supports, which.wee à \u2018Tre- placed with comfortable pews furnished at the individual expense of the members.The Rev.Mr.Wallace, then a young graduate of Queen\u2019s College, Kingston, afterwards pastor of Queen Street Presbyterian Church, Toronto, was the first pastor.The first elders were Duncan Drummond, Duncan McIntyre, Thomas Short and James Fife, and the deacons were Richard Short, John McFarlane, Alexander Wood, John Stark, James Sinclair, James Beckett and Malcolm Cameron.The records of the ¢hurch showed | that the furnishing of fuel for heating the building and the care of the church building were voluntarily provided for during some years by members.A Sunday-school was almost immediately started, the first teachers of which were, besides the elders, Mr.Walter.Renwick, Miss Gilchrist and Miss.Annie Gilchrist.In 1848 a congregational library was established.Owing to ill- health, Mr.Wallace was compelled to resign in 1847, and for three years services were conducted by students.1 i build a new church, and the Queen's birthday of 1884 was celebrated by the THE FIRST CHURCH BUILT IN KEENE ral tributes.and by visiting.the sick, .Fir ae oe ag 1d ging thew tokens of love to cheer 5 JE Xr ATSRE- ARCA, in theiziafliction.- We ales owe Hl ducted In the year 1801, Sve of the Lem ee er eny Babbeth \u201cTer ab yterian ministers of the Ne aweet-toned bell calling us every at! constant and unwearied service without a break, is still pastor of the church, is a graduate of Belfast and Edinburgh universities, in the former of which the Rev.Dr.Cook was principal, and in the lat: ter the Rev.Dr.Chalmers.Before going to Keene, Mr.Andrews preached for a short time at Grand River, Ontario.At the beginning of his pastorate in Keene the communion roll contained the names of 142 members, of whom 20 are still living, and 11 remain connected with the church, namely, Alexander Wood, John Wood, George Wood, James Wood, John Hope, Archibald Davidson, Robert Borland, Thomas Borland, Mrs.William Drummond, Mrs.John Hope and Mrs.David Henderson.: Early in the history of the church there was a male choir, far from usual in Presbyterian churches at\u2019 that time, but later precentors were appointed\u2014Peter An- dérson, Robert Graham, Thomas Lock- hart, James Buchanan, William Renwick and John Gillespie in succession.In May, 1890, an organ was introduced into the church.In 1851 a female association was regularly constituted and organized, which, as the records show, contributed considerably to the building of the manse, the upholstering of the pulpit, and so forth.This manse was built hard by the church at a cost of about $1,000.The session met regularly at the manse for prayer every Sunday before service.At one of its meetings a resolution to establish a total abstinence society was passed.Down to the year 1864 voluntary contributions were entirely relied upon.Since then the system of renting the pews has been maintained.In 1879 a ladies\u2019 missionary society was -organized, with the following officers :\u2014Mrs.George Read;

church, which is expected to be a season of much interest and useful information.To this the public will be made very welcome.The remainder of the meeting was of a routine character, such as the receiving of applications for colportage work, grants of scriptures and reports of such committees.TO ALL FRIENDS OF THE BIBLE.We have reached a most momentous and important \u2018period of \u2018the society's work.When it was begun in 1804 the were almost wholly confined to the Brit- 18h Isles, and the United States of America.It had just begun to struggle for u footing in India, but the difficulties and hindrances were such as to damp and dishearten any but men like Curry, and a few kindred spirits of large faith in God, and filled with the Holy Spirit's influence.The various languages of the country were comparatively unknown.There were no printing presses or other needful material; the ruling authorities were hostile, and the Church at darge indifferent, dead, or hostile to the subject.Under such conditions the organization, of the British and Foreign Bible Society was hailed with enthusiastic oy and delight by the few Chris-/ tians at home and in the United States, and by a very few missionaries, who really believed and had faith in the word of God.But any .one looking forward to the present time and predicting the change, would have been regarded as a mad enthusiast.No sooner was the society organized than it began to look up suitable translators, and-provide the material for printing.The Hand of God years, and the change has been marvellous.Instead of the scriptures in a very few languages, and many of these few dead, we now have the bible in nearly four hundred languages and dialects, and covering a large part of the globe.An overruling Providence has by weakening and overthrowing the systenis and the ing the systems and nations that favored it, greatly accelerated the work.In part I was, in drawing up this report, led to these remarks by events of recent date in the Philippines.There the work, aftér being prohibitéd for many years, has, within a few months, been resumed, under bright and most encouraging circumstances, for the agent of the parent laociety, Mr.Randall, visited Manilla last September, received the approbation of the United States consul, Mr.Williams, and the sanction of Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader.He mold on the firat day twenty bibles, seventeen testaments and forty-five portions, in Spanish, I bad thought of making copious extracts from his most interesting journal, but when the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Saturday came to hand I found you had forestalled me.So I forbear and refer such of your readers as may have overlooked it, to page 17, of Saturday\u2019s paper.In conclusion, permit an extract from a recent speech of His Grace the Archbishop\u2019 of York:\u2014 \u201cThere is no Christisin-eommnnity in the world that does not accept the bible in its entirety, and \u2018if ever\u2019 there should be réunion, or a closer union, the common ground they would have to stand upon would be the word of God itself.Therefore.apart from the blessings of the Bible Society and the startling events eonnected with its progress throughout the world, there was the glorious thought \u2018that the day might come when through the wider spredd of the holy scriptures.and through & \u2018common

the discussion going on in your journal in regard to the character of teaching to be given in the above-named college.I share largely the desire of your correspondents that teaching of Christian truths should be given at such a college, in order to make it worthy of its object and of the British nation\u2014but the \u2018how\u2019 shall this be done, and \u2018who\u2019 are to be the teachers, constitute the vrob- lem to be solved.It is now widely recognized that state.appointed and state paid religious in- gtructors do not produce satisfactory results, often are most dismal feilures to all who know the first principles of the oracles of God\u2014as such a system fails to recognize that the Holy Spirit, in illuminating grace, can alone qualify men for the work of teaching the truth of God.Further, cold-blooded expositors of Christian doctrinee\u2014whoee lives were a denial of the faith they were teaching, and who were stran to the power of the truths of which they spoke\u2014would but in a most miserable way commend the truth of Christ to the minds and consciences of the Soudanese.This brings me to the fact you name, that \u2018it is got what a person professes to believe, mor that what be chinks he believes, but that\" to witél he} acta\u2019 as being tiie Pind Samt aif \"Tati Fattless + Ÿ The - Den faïtin-in all Bindwof diverse doctrines has characterised, man throughout the ages past as well as to- day\u2014producing what is known as Christ- endofn here, Mohammed@anism there, and Buddhism, eic., elsewhere\u2014but throughout them all is féund a vast majority whose lives put to shame the faith they profess.Thé believers of old at \u2018Jorinth who, in carnal contention, said, \u2018 I am ef Christ,\u201d was just as bad .as the cthers who said, \u2018I am of Paul ete, from which I judge there is very little of.practical value in the mere inculeation of doctrinal beliefs without the life of Christ being \u2018manifested\u2019 in the mortal flesh of the teacher and the taught.The truth of this is seen in that a man\u2019s faith is almost entirely the result of the accident of parentage and country of birth.I conclude, therefore, that a good secular education is \u2018all that the state can provide\u2019 and that Christian or other faiths which may be taught can only be inculcated in affiliated institutions, maintained and carried on by those who respectively believe in them.In that case the truth of Christ, as taught and manifested in the lives of the teachers, would show \u2018itself possessed of its Divine character as \u2018 Light\u2019\u2014as that which makes things .manifest\u2014and such godly teachers would also be its living epistle known and read of all men.It is high time that believers in Christ everywhere recognized the fact that while man\u2019s efforts can produce \u2018Christendom\u2019 it requires God\u2019s direct power to produce \u2018Christianity\u2019\u2014the former being as wood, hay and stubble to the fire of God\u2019s holiness, and the latter as gold and silver, being the resultant effect of God's word having enteved his mind and heart and become a Divine seed sown by almighty rower, whereby the individual has been \u2018born again\u2019 into a new life, and just os the seed abides forever so will the life which it has produced.These results truly are not the effect of human energy and wisdom, but of God\u2019s workmanship.The apostle Peter was told by our Lord how it was that he waa enabled to see in Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the living God\u2014flesh and blood had not revealed it to him.It is just so to-day, and every \u2018true Christian is exactly the same product of Divine power in grace and mercy\u2014and in this fact the distinction between Christendom and Christianity is ound.Shall, then, earnest Christians devote tte funds they hold in trust from our one Master to aid and encourage the en- lerging of \u2018Christendom\u2019 through a secular college, or shall they be applied to send forth God-inspired men and women to the Soudan as true witnesses for the \u2018ving God\u2014leaving results with God, \u201cho declares that his word shall

the efforts and loving zeal of God-fearing men who go there to seek to win souls for Christ; also let the best secular instrue- tion be given by the state with every facility and encouragement to learn the English language, but it is my earnest prayer that God will deliver the poor { Soudanese from the instructions of a tody of hirelings, who might be sent there to expound Christian faith and

pamphlet on \u2018Worship in the Presbyterian Church in Canada,\u2019 tie Puritans are represented as having \u2018narrow scruples\u2019and a fanatical spirit.\u2019 It is true that they sought\u2019 to turn from the broad way of sinful indulgéfice and will-worship, so pleasing to fallen nature, and to walk in the narrow way of holiness marked out in God\u2019s word.All honor to them for their narrownese in| this sense.But why should they be characterized as fanatical ?If we were led to.believe that the author of a certain book was a fanatic, we would not set much value upon that book, and would likely consider it à waste of time to read it- The Puritans were the authors of the Westminater Standards, to which all our ministers and elders are required to subscribe.Do some wish to make us Delieye that we are the dupes of fanatics, and that those standards are not worthy of being read and studied, much less followed ?Eminent writers, English, French and Scotch, write in lauding the Puritans, Hume says: \u2018It was to this sect alone that the English owe the whole freedom of their constitution.\u2019 Taine writes: \u2018They founded England in spite of the corruption of the Stuarts.They founded Scotland; they founded the United States; at this.day they are by their descendants founding Australia and colonizing the world.\u201d Carlyle adds: \u2018Perhaps it was among the nobler and noblest human heroism this Puritanism of ours.While Puritanism did a magnificent work in the past, it is still greatly needed to meet and oppose with the glorious : gospel of true liberty, the alarming growth of the blighting tyfanez of Ri- ae - ed cases collference ee lately a oe Bir John Kennaway, M.P., an influential la; man of the Church of \"England, presides, and speaking on the subject of \u2018the present crisis in the Church of England: ita gravity, its causes and its remedy,\u201d said, \u2018Services were being held in some of their churches which a Romanist could not distinguish from his own.Almost the whole of the Roman doctrine, only excepting the authority of the, Pope, was preached in many pulpits.The English Church Union, which mustered between five and six thousand clerical supporters, told them that they wished anion with Rome.The tide of sacerdotalism had met with occasional checks, but it was still advancing so rapidly that thousands of churchmen were beginning to fear that soon there would be no foothold left in the Church for the loyal sons of the Reformation.\u2019 Lady Winborne, writing in the \u2018Nineteenth Century,\u2019 for last October, says: \u2018Ritualism, therefore, thus tolerated, has grown and developed unobserved into an enormous system, until we find tg, our surprise and alarm, that rot Ritualism but Romanism is the danger that is threatening us\u2019 In a ser mon of Farrar, published in the Montreal \u2018Witness\u2019 a few years ago, he said that the extreme Ritualistic party in the Church of England have been doing their best during the past twenty years to Ro- manize the worship, the doctrine, the clergy, and the whole institution of that Church.At a recent meeting of the Baptist \u2018With a spurious Romanism and an un- scriptural priestly arrogance abroad this land of such importance to the future of the world, still needed leavening with.the sturdy Puritan leaven.New Testament ideals, simplicity of worship and ritual and the equality of all believers as priests of God, needed reaffirming.\u2019 Referring to these last statements.the \u2018English Presbyterian\u2019 says: \u2014 Not once, nor twice, in our rude island story has this Puritan spirit been the salvation of England; it is to that spirit working through the altered forms of our generation, that we must look for the salvation and true expansion of Britain in the future.It is not eh to dwell upon the triumphs of Puritan-j., ism and evangelical nonconformity in the past.The battle has to be fought and won to-day.\u2019 Yes, it

1809.mem nts OUTREMONT CIVIC ELECTION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witnesa.\u2019) Sir, \u2014The nomination of Mr.Perham | as a representative of the South Ward in the municipal council of Outremont | has disquieted his opponent, Mr.Beau: bien, to such an extent that he has actually entered a protest, attempting to disqualify him on the.ground (1) of his be | ing a \u2018civil functibnary > that is, an employee in the Montreal custom house, snd (2) that two signatures on Mr.Perham\u2019s | nomination payer are those of persons whose special taxes have not all been paid.Now, as to the first objection I venture to say that Mr.Perham being the choice of the majority of residents in the ; South Ward, it rests solely with himself to decide whether he will serve in the council or not.Certainly, no law in the land can prevent him from exercising his rights as a citizen.The special clause in the statute on which Mr.Beaubien seems to rely in this protest says that such or such an employee shall not be compelled to serve, ete, but that does not imply prohibition.If Mr.Perham chooses to waive his privilege, and decline the proposed honor, that privilege belongs to him alone.Again, I may remark that it is to my certain know- eee Fe eee ledge that for several years past a valu- |\u2019 able member of the present municipal\u201d council of Westmount has held even a higher position in the Montreal custom house than Mr.Perham, and no one has ever dared to question his qualification as a municipal councillor.As to the second objection raised against Mr.Perham, I have only to say that if he can be disqualified because two | signers of his nomination paper have not paid all their special tax for widening St, Catherine road, then all proprietora having frontage on that road may also be disqualified as voters, seeing + that the, payment of the special tax alluded | to, ail be over.à.rs of nine.] n all U epocial taxes should not.bève paid at the date of nominätion.\u201880 Mr.Charlie need not try to bluff such flimsy pretences.The fact is, we are determined to elect Mr.Perham, believing him to be the better man of the two, and, seeing that he is quite willing to serve if elected, Charlie will be afforded an opportunity after the election to unseat him if he can by fais\u201d means, but he cannot sueceed by bluffing.WILLIAM PERRY.Outremont, Jan.13, 1899.\u2014\u2014p\u2014 THE REV.ROWLAND BATEMAN, M.A.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 \u2018Sir, \u2014Most unexpectedly are the good people of Montreal afforded an opportunity of seeing and hearing one of the most noteworthy of \u2018modern Christian missionaries.In the register of missionaries belonging to the greatest of all mis- | sionary societies, the Church Missionary.Society, the Rev.Rowland Bateman is thus deseribed : \u2018 Most energetic and successful as an itinerating missionary, greatly beloved by the native Christians, has warmly promoted in various ways the development of the native Church.\u2019 Mr.Bateman is a graduate of Magdalen College, Oxford, and has been for more then thirty years laboring in the Punjab, upon the frontier of the great Indian Empire\u2014in such stations as Dera Ismail Khan, Amritsar and Narowel.Upon one occasion for about two years he congent- ed to fill a vacant.place upon the \u2018staff of the lahore Divinity College, bat the work he loved best was itinerating through the villages and caring for the native Christians.Some.of your readers will have noticed a picture, which is being largely circulated, representing Mr, Bateman sitting, surrounded by a group of native Christians, catechis te and tvan- When last leaving Narowal for England a farewell meeting was hid to bid him godspeed.The Punjab \u2018Mission News,\u2019 reporting this meeting, srid : \u201cIt was indeed a memorable and touching sight to see our veteran missionary, to take leave of whom we had assembled, surrounded by the fruits of his work, his \u2018crown of rejoicing\u2019 in the Lord ; to think of the day, some twenty-eight years ago, when he had \u2018put his bend to the plough\u2019 in a district where there were then but halt a dozen Christians, and of all the intervening years of service for the Master which bave so surély won their reward in the increase of that half- \u2018dozen into some 1,500 believers and in the existence of a living and growing church.No one could be present: on\u2019 tan faces or hear the words and praycys which ascend from full hearts\u2014mo one could Jook around him

desire to follow in\u201d his steps,\u2019 Mr.Bateman, writing with regard to\u2019 the.épiritual state of the native Chrie- tians, said.that he had never had so much\u2019 evidence of the deepening and widening of Christianity as the preceding year had afforded.\u2018By deepening,\u2019 he said, \u2018I mean that the Christiane know more,.do more, and are more than was the case a year ago.By widening 1 deo not merely mean that grace is taking hold of a larger number of professed Christians, but that the acknowledgment of the truth is seen in a Continually growing proportion of the population.During the last twelve months I was in Narowal there were, roughly, two hundred baptisms from fifty villages.About half of these were infants.\u2019 He goes on to say that there were over two hundred and fifty men and wo- \u2018men who were preparing for baptism and who manifested real earnestness and application, Few missionaries have.such an interesting story to -tell and ean tell it as well as Mr: Bateman can.My own work lay in another district in India, but his fame as a devoted; self- denying and successful missionary was spread far and wide.Mr.Bateman came \u2018out to Canada a short time ago, upon a visit to a distinguished Indian official whose son has settled here, hence this unexpected and welcome opportunity afforded to friends of missions in Montreal.I hope, and indeed am confident, that there will be a crowded meeting on Monday night at the Cenvoeation Hall of the Diocesan Theo- légical College to do honor to this servant of God and hear the story of his life from his own lips.Mr.Bateman will.preach on Sunday at St.Martin's, in the morning, and at.St.Jude's in the ovoning, and will address the Sunday- achool at St.Thomae\u2019s in the afternoon.On Monday he will speak at a drawing- reem meeting at Westmount, in the afternoon, \u2018and in the evening at the.Con- vceation Hall, when, as there will be no other speaker, he will have the fullest

regard to it, as 1 have had.the experienes of four winters\u2019 riding, and cannot understand why more bicyclists are.not seen out.The roads this season, up to last Friday's storm, have been simply beautiful, and are now again in very good order.I went out to Lachine on Christmas day, and never enjoyed a ride better, I may say I have been laughed at by some persons, but that makes no difference to me whatever.They singply know nothing about it.I am convinced if other riders will only give it a fair trial they will become converts.to winter wheeling, and use their wheels for business as well as pleasure.I shall be glad if you can find space for this.F.A.H.Montreal, \u201cJan.13; 1889.QUEEN ON AMERICAN GIRLS, SHE FAVORS \u201cTHEIR MARRIAGE WITH SCIONS OF THE NOBILITY.\u201cDuring - a

and it is in India, his peculiar literary domain, that Mr.Kipling reduces Liberal principles ad absurdum.The secret of Kiplings extraordinary vividness, the \u2018Blackwood\u2019 critic\u201d dis-| covers in the fact: that he never pauses to make preliminary.explanations.Mr.Kipling\u2019s short stories may be very roughly classified as tales of \u2018Anglo- Indian Society,\u2019 of \u2018Native Life,\u2019 and of \u201cThe British Army\u201d With those of the first group, the writer has much fault to find, Mrs.Hauksabee, he says, \u2018won't do\u2019 Here he finds: Mr.Kipling\u2019s knowledge degenerated into know- ingness.He speaks of \u2018The Story of the Gadeby\u2019s\u2019 as \u2018at once the glory and.the shame of Mr.Kipling's prose muse\u2019; and again as \u2018the most amazing monument of prococity in all literature.\u2019 For the bulk of the short stories, however, he hgs nothing but praise, The greatest vogue in England has belonged to the military stories, by means of which \u2018he has taught the least imaginative of nations what mauful work its soldiers are doing for it\u2019 .Kipling's inspiration in this line was curiously anticipated by Tam Rabertson, author-of \u2018Ours.\u2019 The \u2018Blackwood\u2019s\u2019 critic considers, \u201cThe Man who would bé King\u2019 Mr.Kipling\u2019s chef d'oeuvre ih prose; and of \u2018The Jungle 3ooks,* he says, \u2018none of his works have the same graciousness and charm, none are so wise, so considerate, so kindly.\u2019 But the author of these masterpieces .has not proved himself capable of a really great novel.The writer proceeds as follows: .The peculiar attraction of Mr, Kipling\u2019s rose work lles much less in emy soMeiltude for style than in his unique fertility of 1m- | agination.- - In some of his earlier pieces his manner ls almost vicious.It is like \u2018the picture-writing of a half-civilized people,\u201d to hr an apt metaphor of hie own\u2014crude, jerky, flippant.The straining after smartness and sensation is too evident, and tbe flash epigram is too frequent and favorite an ornament.That these: faults have been to a great exient corrected by the maturer taste aud sounder discretion of advancing years iB perfectly true.But they are not 'waolly eradicated, and Mr.Kipling bas still to vindicata his title to be considered as a mode) of English styte.But the great bulk of Mr.Kipling's most vigorous and successful prose-work is not in ordivary English, but in dfalect, It is in tke lingo of the Cocknev, the Irishman, or the Yorkshireman; or it is in & tongue specially invented for the use of birds ind beasts: or it is in a language Jcsigned to reproduce the 'choractertstic \u2018nuances\u2019 of Oriental thought and feeling.It is through such a medium that Mr.Kipling's genius scems to find its most ample and fitting ex- pressiou: and perkaps it Ia on that acconut that Bia long stories are disappninting.They arn necessarily in more or fess literary English.for Cialect cannot ba maintained beyond a certain length of time without fatiguing the reader.\u2019 years, :and has already achieved a \u2018cole over w riven bome | D and caused * him a \u201cTbat Mr.Kipling has performed prodigies in favor of (BOTH STILL AND SPARKLING) of the American people, after years of testino is as possessing all the attributes of purity, flavor, and sparkle that go to make a perfect table water.Sold by all dealers in mineral waters, and in every hotel and club in America, VIGER & C0.FRASER, of ingenuity, and of more than ingenuity, ith dfalect In verve as well as in prose, 13 no more than truth.He bas indeed ac- com led what, perhaps, was never achi,d before.He has selected a \u2018patois\u2019 the associations of which were wholly mean commonplace, ludicrous, and degrading, an has made K the vehicla cf poetry characterized by qualities the very reversg of these.But bis verse, whether In plain English or in dialect, is.superior to his prose in plain Epgligh, becauss poecry is more exacting than prose.It is the paradox of poetry that it\u2019 permits no synonyms.The poet is in\u2019 perpetual quest of the one inévitable word, and only the true poet can find it.Now, in Mr.Kipling\u2019s poetry the right word emerses at the right moment, and no one can doubt that it is the right word, ; \u2018So 1t's knock out your pipes an\u2019 follow me!

(2) the hundreds of free beds in shelters, and (3) the iniquitous \u2018furnished-room\u2019 system.Quite sixty percent of our immigrants are provincials.Here we dwell, a population of over twenty-three thousand souls, upon sev- enty-four acres of ground.For all Lon den the population per acre is fifty-seven; for Whitechapel it is 195; for Spitalfields it is 311.Our nearest park is two miles distant.Half the population is foreign and.Jewish, and the majority of the inhabitants: are worthy, respectable people.May I spdak of some of the people, their \u2018homes,\u2019 and their daily atmos phere?IN-born, :l-fed, ill-housed, ill- clad, many of them at best are poor ani male, and \u2018inefficients\u2019 by birth or de generation.The conditions under which they are herded together make innocence, decency, chastity almost impossible.Children gaze.upon the brutal fight and the bruised face, without emotion; and I have seen a Child at play upon a floor still red with its murdered mother\u2019s blood.Yells and curses that would terrify most men and women scarcely disturb the children\u2019s play.The crowd of absolutely homeless: and destitute men, women, and children baunting the streets by day and night i appalling.A murder is little else than a passing sensation.Dark staircases, gvén it noonday;

but though it has been 26 below zero, we only require one double blanket over us.PRETTY WINTER PICTURES.\u2018There are now about two feet of snow, and the country looks grand.The firet fall of snow was sleety and stuck well to the trees.It looked, to give yom arn idea, like a beautifully frosted Christmas card.The ground covered \u2018with snow, and trees -and bushes hanging \"over, weighted with frosty crystals formed a, pretty picture.MAILS REGULARLY.The news was welcome that we shall soon get the mai] that has been delayed the rank ok Trem Fer, haya at ween, - Some 500 aie pn iyito the Somat vez ;
