nor in the strict sense, even a private hospital.Against this, the authorities of the institution, without disputing the assertion that much of the present building is employed for purposes which are foreign to the treat- \u2018ment of physical disease, yet maintain | that the piredival aud \u2018éurgteat\"tepatt-\"\" } ments are open tothe: \u2018public.To har monize these respeetive views, and de-' termine which is the correct one, would be to settle the merits of the appeal now: put forward by the nuns.In this discussion it must not be forgotten, vo start with, that the concession to the Victoria Hospital was exceptional.1t was a splendid - public response to a splendid private liberality which had to be met in a like spirit.Not to have responded in kind would have justly incurted the stigma of public insensibility to a great public benefaction.In the \u2018opinion of.many English-speaking people, the chief reason for such a-grant now is that it would be a grant to their French-spzaking fellow-citizèns who \u2018happen to be numerically many in:Montreal, and who, as im(aH big cities, are necessitous in.proportion to their.numbers.One will be \u2018pardoned, _Éowever, for\u2019 suggesting, \u2018tliat to benefit this class | wost effectively und simplify \u201cthe present situation, it would have: been bet: ter to put forward the Notre Dame- Hospital RS à claimant for the taust.In.any cade, too \u2018exact balnacings should not prevail.Tf any mistakes \u2018are made, | it_ is better.\u2018they\u2019 should be made :èn suffering,\" distinotions .lisappear:.Race .Duckworth, who: wes 77 and religion may wrangle \u201cover \u201ctheir 5 heen paltry .differzaces, in unseemly = sbrife, but their rancor is hushed by.d- \u2018akin;

the tulle is straightened out, folded, laid on the sachet and rolled up.in It, and the whole tied with a ribbon fastened to the outside of the veil case.All closets and clothespresses need frequent sunnings.and airings.\u201cClothing, too, should be exposad just as you sün Your bedd one of the most sorte a mi the world.Dress \u201cWaist Tning kept wonderfully\u201d nice, if, im addition, You occasionally wipe them off with a cloth dampened with very weak household ammonia: - Of course, the shields | should be frequently changed.PRIZES FOR SEED GRAIN -COMPE- | TITION.dr.G.H.Clark, B.S.A., has been ap- boiated to take direct charge of the \u201cwork IX roun~ction with the sumeof ten thou- S-cd dollars donated by Sir William C.Mac donald to promote \u2018progressive agri- | \u201culture,\u2019 by encouraging boys and-gitls to\u2019 oes Seed grains on the-farms-on which ney ve _Mr.Clark has been for three years as- jisant to Mr.C.A.Zavitz, expertmental- | « at the Ontario Agricultural College.8 training there in that capacity has BLv-.| ©: him particular fitness for tarrying.on the work, and the boys and ging wilt find b: on i most helpful and sympatheiic .eo- | rxer Tearkers in rural districts gre invited 0 join in helping to forward this edica- |i tral movement.ARy.-teacher: may end | In a liet of not more than oe pupils\u2019 in a Se hcol district for compett 4e plan provides for 640.prizes, which :! a-e $100 each;

English, 25; German, 15; arithmetic, 30; stenography, 37; bookkeeping, 5; mechemiçal drawing, 28 ; electricity, 31 ; penmanship, 32; vocal music, M.Some o the classes were much larger than the previous year.There were thirty who had passed \u2018the international examimations : as compared with twenty-two last year.Al together the work had been very satisfactory and \u2018Mr.Burgess: gave great credit to the teachers who took such active interes in the work and the Indivdual students.At the close of the concert a basketball match was_played in the gymnasium and refreshments were served dn the.lecture hall by.the ladies of Brsk ne and \u2018Knox.churches.STREET CAR SERVICE FOUND DEFICIENT AND - COMPANY AGAIN .FINED.\u2014 ~ Two more cases against the Montreal Street Railway Company for insufficient service were disposed of by Mr.Recorder Poirier on Saturday, the company being i8.| convicted.in: both iistances aid fined $35 | 14n each case.Street Inspectors Flynn and Deguise were the witnesses In the case.They took the time of Ontario and Wellington cars at Mc- Gill street, going both ways, and found that while some cars\u2019 were not a minute apart, others passed at intervals of over twenty minutes.The defence was similar to that offered in previous cases, and did not disprove the evidence of the inspectors, The two actions were for the same route, for the same hour, and for the same day, one being for the cars running north, and the other for those running -south om the Ontario: and Wellington street Hne.There was, therefore, a doubt whether this constituted two distinct offences.The Recorder suggested that it was very F important that the point be.decided by a higher court, as the civic by-law merely mentioned that the company was liable for $26 per day for any infraction of by-law 210, apd there was always a doubt whether \u2018they could be condemned to_ several penal- \u2018ties for different offences committed on the saïne day, or on different parts \u2018nf-thé same route He was prepared to impose She \u2018penalty ouly in one case, as he did bef when eitilar cases came in pairs b ore \u2018œim, but 41 the company \u2018wish to test?tlie question, and have it decided once for all;

\u2018TAKE OUR.BLOOD, BUT LRAŸE US\" OUR MONEY.Sir Charles Tupperts plan of campaign for the approaching election contest is a very simple and plain one, and can be stated in two sentences.In the Province of Quebec the government is to be attacked on the ground that it is in favor of imperial federation, and has granted Great Britain a preferential tariff.In Ontario and the other English- | speaking provinces it is to be attacked.on the ground that it is not loyal to the empire, and was therefore tardy about sending contingents to South Africa.In Quebec Sir Charles said that he had been charged with smashing the Imperial Federation League, and he intimated that he was rather proud than otherwise of the action, ifshe really committed ii.tion in order to deepen the impression against imperial federation.He opposed | | any gcheme for 3 regular contribution\u2019 lof Canada to the defence of the empire: because their means are more straitened.thing in the: nature of taxation.English-speaking people have indeed the same- dislike for direct taxation, but not to the same degree as the thriftier French-Canadians.In Quebec Sir Charles does not deny that he is-a loyal British citizen, though he is careful net to waste the time of a'French-Canadian audience by dwelling upon that fact, when it could be better spent in considering the inçon- venience of having to contribute to defend\u2019 a British empire.Sir Charles is loyal go long as loyalty makes .upon the pocket.That is, in in what his political speeches in Quebec; to the French-Canadian people say.In Ontario he attacks the government because it was not, in his opinion, as keen to contribute the blood and lives of the youth of - -Cariada to the defence of the empire as he thinks it should have \u2018been.Before English-speaking people Sir Charles, who is opposed to spending money for the defence of the empire, at tacks Si Wilfrid Tatrier, a FretichiCa- Ÿ stall the people\u201d af, Canada: in \"offering their blood in defence of the empire.No one fo a \u2018motnent Delieves that Sir Charles Tupper is \u2018such a man as he would be if these \u2018were\u2019 his heart.|.felt opinions and: convictions.It is only { the wretched \u2018exigences of party politics.| which foroes a man inte taking such\u2019 à true} and cowardly attitude.- Canada in And he warned the people that with rep- J v resentation in a British Imperial PatHa- | 1% ment Canada would be heavily taxed;

here a patch of crimson silk dyed in costly life blood ; there a gaping vacancy to save the~money cost of a cotton patch.\u2014_\u2014 THE WAR SITUATION.The retreat of the Boer forces which had surrounded Colanel Dalgety and his detachment of 50 men of General Brabant\u2019s colonial division at Wepener has been confirmed by all the newspaper cor- À respondenta at Blgem£ontei \u201cFar.pver: a wek these fine men of General :Bra-| | bant's \u2018ever victorious\u2019 division have fought off an overwhelming force of Boers and by all accounts have inflicted heavy losses upon them, while, however, suffering considerable loss themselves.Correspondents differ as to the direction taken by the retreating Boers, but it seems cer- south, that is, in the direction of Cape Colony.A report also comes from Ali- wal North, from which the rest of General Brabant\u2019s division marched north on Saturday last for Rouxville, on its way force at Rouxville had retreated south- | iniles north of their position.| \u2018Dhat Lord Roberts is.pot.yok apite | ) tain that a portion of the enemy went to the relief of Wepener, that the Boer: west in the direction of Bethulie, where\u2019 escape from the lines drawn around them will be watched with interest.Lord Methuen\u2019 8 force, which seems to | be one of two or three brijetles in strength ahd \u2018with a mounted body of Turspay, AFRIL 17, 1900 | mas LOQUITUR.Obiter: ise mot s done talking- about the | Good\u2019 Friday.performance of the \u2018Mes lsiah\u201d \u201c I-owr die says, that my musica] considerable strength, is apparently ad \u2018edycation is 40 limited that just on tho vancing | eastward from Boshof, whether\u2019 upon Emalldeel, the railway junction to Winburg, north of Brand- fort, or upon \u2018Kroonstäl is not yet known: Probably i object is merely to clear the way and guard the flank of the advance \u2018of one of Lord Roberts\u2019s col umns from Bloemfontein.General Douglas, the commandér- of the mounted brigade attached to.Lord Methuen\u2019s force, has advanced east to Zwarts Kop, which seems to be about forty miles east of Bo- shof and within ten or fifteen miles of Bultfontein.It may be owing to the advance of this column that the Boers at Brandfort have decided, on the advice of President Kruger, to fall back beyond the Vet river, which is about twenty ready for his general advance seems to be the opinion of the more sober correspondents at Bloemfontein, who see that his cavalry and artillery are still crippled for want of horses.It is said that the Argentine horses now arriving\u2019 are not very suitable for cavalry purposes.Our eastern horses are good mounts, and imperial officers are now in Canada for the purpose of making purchases.But horses for the mounted infantry \u2018might be got cheap in the west, and it is to be hoped that Canada will yet come to the asaistance of the empire in this vital matter.A couple of experienced Canadian veterinary surgeons could soon se- the railway bridge crosses thé Orange: : Again, General Chermaide\u2019s \u2018division, which advanced from Bethany upon Reddersburg, where \u2018the British suffered a Teverse a couple of weeks ago, found the Boers withdrawing from the latter place, yet not to the northward; but to the south-east, which would be in the-direction of Wepeher ot.It would appear, therefore, that the Boer forces south of Bloemfontein have all been instructed to march \u2018southward when withdrawing from any: position, thug advancing toward Cape Colony rather than retiring.to their own méin \u2018foroes ip the northérn part of the There.are two possible explanations of-this marioeuvre on the part | The Boers may have learned that their retiéat northward has \u2018been cut off, all the Fosds, as one of thé \u2018British correspondents declares, having nadian, \u201cbachus Sir: Wilfrid dig nok dire | | ina river into Cape Colény.Smithfield.Free State.of the enemy.'
