[" i \u2014\u2014e i me THE LAST SPEECHES.Final Meetings in the Mayoralty Campaign Last Night MR.WILSON-SMITH AND MK.JAMES COCHRANE MEET ON THE SAME PLATFORM IN ST.JEAN BAPTISTE WARD.Bath candidates for the mayoralty ad- lressed several meetings in the east end lat night.[Lhe tirst of these meetings was held at 1492 St.Catherine street, wnere a couple of hundred people gathered and where Mr.Wilson-Smith received a very courteous reception, He delivered a short speech in which he &poke of the good reeling existing be tween the English and French-speaking people of the city.While he had been in the City Council before, whether as alderman or mayor, he had always rewed the kindest and most courteous treatment at the hands of his French- Canadian fellow citzens.He thought tnat the more they saw of one anotuer, the more they respected one another.lt the French-Canadman candidates had re- t:red from the contest, it was due to tue courtesy and generosity of the French-speaking population.This was certainly no time to raise the race cry, and the man who did it, in his opinion, had no right to live in the city.It was true that he was not able to speak French, but had it ever been heard in ins public life, as alderman and mayor, that he had ever shown sectional reel ing or had wronged the interests of the laboring man, either French or ing: lish ?He trusted that time would ever come.\u201d He went on to speak of the great need of an active mayor to push forward needed public improvements, such as the pew contagious diseases hospital, better streets and sidewalks, improvements of the water service and fire departinent, ete, etc.Mr.Wilson-Smith proceeded from this meeting to one held in the St.Jean Baptiste market, in the joint interests of Ald.Ouimet and Mr.Latreille.Mr.Wilson-Smith received a warm reception as he passed up the hall.He had bare- lv seated himself when Mr.Cochrane entered and was also cheered.He also proceeded to tbe platform, and the two mayoralty candidates met on the same stage for the first time since the openmg of the contest.Mr.Wilson-Smith was the first to speak.He appealed conti- dently to the French-speaking electors who had always treated him with so much consideration.He would like to emphasize the fact that he was not before them as a self-nominated candidate.He had been urged by some of the lead- i Stine of Mentreal to allow his cof hal Erpu ge fucva d, and ba Ahh by See uisitions present to a mayoraity candidate.After speaking of the work needed to be done at the lity Hall, Mr, Wilson-Smith declared that he had not: spoken one word against Mr.Cochrane in the campaign, and did not intend to, and he was glad to say Mr.Cochrane had treated him in the same spirit.desired to say that he had been a member of the council for five years, during which time he had always done justice to the interests of French- Canadians.He concluded his remarks by expressing the hope that the electors would do their duty to-day at the polls ; voting for the mani Cochrane appealed to the electors as one who had lived among them all of their lives and knew their requirements.He had interests in St.Jean Baptiste ward and had furnished employment to many of the electors.He considered his opponent absolutely disqualified for the satisfactory discharge of his duties as mayor by his inability to speak French.He could, in faet, hardly understand Mr.Wilson-Smith\u2019s ambition to go to the City Hall without that cs- sential qualification._ Mr, James Cochrane also addressed two meetings in St.Denis ward last night, held in the interests of Messrs, Keegan and Vallieres,.Mr.Cochrane addressed the meetings in both languages.MUNICIPAL REFORM ASSOCIATION.Sa ever est r At a meeting of the Municipal Reform Association, recently held, it was resolved, \u2018That Aldermen Savignac, Gagnon, Faucher, Bumbray, _Lariviere, Turner, Lebeuf, Laporte, and Vallieres, secking re-election, having faithfully

NTd., Feb.1.\u2014It is argued in some official quarters hey that ¥ the British Government à prepared to withdraw {rom the international sugar coa- ference at \u2018Brussels and to proviae a bounty on West Indian sugar, nm order to assist Greas Britain's West Indian colonies, which are inhabited by blacks, Great Britain should also provide a bounty on Newfoundland fish, end thereby assist this colony, which is wholly inhabited by white people\u2014Englishmen, Écotchnren and Imshmen, and their descendants.lt is held by certain officiuls that thin action should be taken by the British Government as a return for the Trenewal by Newfoundland of the French modus vivendi._\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE DUTY ON WOOLLENS TORONTO MBRUHANT TAILORS OPPOSED TO INCREASING IT.Toronto,

Milner, the high commissioner | South, Afri T0 rip el pe Te mining region.Lord Milner proposes to abolish flogging and rigidly to control the liquor trafic among the blacks.fl'he high commissioner admits this latter to be a tremendous undertaking, but says: \u2018 While I realize the diflicuities I also feel that we are bound by hook or by crook to overcone them.\u2018The whole credit of the administration is at stake.I am confident that His Majesty's Government will support our view, that no trouble or expense should be spared in carrying out a policy which if successful means a momentous triumph for civilization in this part of the world.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHINESE SEALS SOLD.London, Feb.1.\u2014Replying to a question in the House of Commons the Right Hon.Charles J.Ritchie, Home Secretary, said the Chinese imperial seals which were advertised for sale, appeared to be the property of a person who was not a British subject.The government therefore was unable to take any action in the matter.The seals referred to were sold yesterday for fifteen hundred pounds by an American of the name\u2019 of E.M.O\u2019Brien, who was in Pe- kin, when it was occupied by the al- les.The seals were part of the Russian loot.It is underwtood that the Chinese refused to accept the seals after their profamation by foreun hands, and O'Brien bought them and brought them to \u2018London on speculation.\u2014 MR.HOWLAND'S SUCCESSOR.Toronto, Feb.1\u2014The directors of the Imperwl Bank will meet on Tuesday next to elect a new president in the place of the lave

ADDRESSES.There was a large gathering at the Stanley Street Presbyterian Church last real Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society.The annual meeting of the society has been one of the institu tions of Montreal ever since it was tounded, and this was now its eighty- first anniversary.Many of those pres ent had attended forty or more of these annual meetings, and would rather miss almost any occasion than this.The meeting was called to order by the Rev.Dr.MacVicar, who greatly regret ted, as he thought they would all regret, |the absence of the Archbishop of Montreal, whom they had hoped to have had present and preside over their deliberations.He held a note in his hand, however, in which His Grace expressed a strong and deep regret for being unable to be present, but pleaded the heavy duties of the past few days and another meeting which it would be his duty to attend.Dr.MacVicar then went on to speak of the many and great services rendered to the Church in Montreal by the Archbishop, and hoped that he would long be spared to a the high post to which God bad called him.He was also glad to welcome once more to Montreal the Right Rev.Bishop of Huron.Dr.MacVicar then spoke of the deep interest he had always taken in the society, and he greatly regretted that there wus not as much interest taken in it as in the past.He recalled his struggle to get in when going to speak at an annual meeting at the old St.James Street Methodist Church, when it was crowded with upwards of 4,000 peuple, and men, too, not women only.Why was it, he asked, that when everything else was growing and going ahead, this society was dropping Éehind.The British and Foreign Bible Society was the foundation of all the glory and enterprise of the British empire.But he would not kee them longer, but introduce to them Prof.Tory, who would read to thém the annual report of the Montreal Auxiliary.Prof.Tory said that as the report would be found in the pews in printed form, he would not read it, but only refer briefly to a few points.First, he must speak with regret of the many names once familiar on their committees and subseription lists, which had dropped out during the year, and would appear there no more.He was glad that they were, able to announce that the pies able to pay to the parent society the % of £400 sterling, or £100 more fhan they had been able to send last year: Mr.S.Finley then moved: \u201cThat the report be adopted, printed and circulated.And further, that the sum of £400 sterling be granted to the parent society in aid of its general operations.\u2019 The motion was seconded by Mr.W.F.Lighthall, and carried unanimously.Te chairman then called on Principal Maggs to address the meeting.Principal Maggs then delivered a most eloquent and intensely interesting eulo- gium on the Bible and its work.He felt it a great honor, he said, to \u2018be call: ed on to speak on such an occasion as the present.There was perhaps no other society which had done so much for Christianity as the British and Foreign Bible Society, or which had been so widely accepted by all branches pf the Christian Church, and he would like to dwell on that aspect of affairs touched upon by Dr.MacVicar, the lost enthusiasm.It was not.uncommon for societies doing a good work to outlive early enthusiasm.It would still be a great influence for good, but the énthusiasm was gone.But in this case was there any reason for it?The book was just as good, but perhaps Christian society did not recognize so strongly how much it owed to the word of God If s0 they might easily forget the claims of the Bible Society.Yet its claims were just as great, though the enthusiasm might diminish; the standing of the book was Just as high, just as noble and its influ ence as far reaching.This was an age of inquiry.Every: thing was regarded, examined with the keenest trained intellect, tested with the most searching tests.The book was passing through the crucible.And perhaps this spirit of inquiry was at the ack of the lack of enthusiasm.There might be a\u201cdoubt lurking.But he would rather the book in the erucible than om the shelf.Better doubt than hypoeriti- cal respect.And there were some fea: tures in the situation which were pro: mising.They had heard that the Pope had issued an order for a commission to examine into the relations between thé Bible and science.The Revised Ver: sion had also let in a flood of inquiry, and the book was being fought with purex- hands and keener intellects than -had been the case formerly.Yet through: all this.conflict it was still a book of divine power\u2014the voice of God.ft was to us a voice that spoke clearer \u2018tg us of God than any other which had been heard by man.In our coldness the book is still as emphatically God\u2019s mes: sage as in the days of our enthusiasm It was still to us the \u2018Old Book,\u201d cri son with the blood of martyrs, red p haps with the blood of our own ane tors.As such we love it.\" And again as the \u2018New Book.Not new in light of some new commentator, but with an everlasting youth; new at e reading, with an ever new inspirati MONTREAL, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1902 night to hear the reports of the.Mont te 1 Mudge, them, he aid, that the \u2018Old Book\u2019 was not an old book in the sense of being an effete book.Of one great man it had been said that he was not a man for a day, but for all time.In a greater and a truer sense the book was not for à day, but for all time.It was a new witalizing force for the spirit and for the life of men.The next speaker was Bishop Baldwin, who was welcomed with very hearty applause.He was, he said, a very hearty supporter of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and he hoped to be til] he died.First, he supported it because its cause was the cause of the Son of God.ould we rise with angel wings to hea- en, we would not, he thought, find the choirs above busy in considering the rise and fall of empires, and other sneh political matters as engaged our attention below.But their eyes would be following the scheme of salvation, and they would be intent on the cause of God.Dear friends, the bishop continued, you are not half awake.\"The Church of God must wake from the eternal 14:tle of her cash box to wage the eternal war of God.The society under whose ans- Dices they were met was one of the greatest of the forces that are advancing the coming of the Lord.It was only by spreading the light that that glorious consummation could be attained, and the iritish and Foreign Bible Society was dcing a magnificent work in holding up that light to the world.But what is the Church doing?She is asleep, apathetic, supine, Laodicean, rattling her cash-box, thinking more of that than of anything else he could think of.Money, money, money was the great cry of the churches of to-day, We sang \u2018Onward, Christian Soldiers, marching as to war, and sent two or three into the field.It was the whole church that sliould be Marcaing as to war.\u201d We should go forth in his grace to advance his cause, and the Bible Society was doing this.And the Bible was the only book that would be vindicated in the end.Books were issued in shoals, but the life of the average book, he was told, was about five years.But this one began without youth and lives on without old age The Bishop concluded with a tribute to the work the society was doing in a direction not generally realized.It was not only doing yeoman service in the advancement of the cause, it was also a means of showing us tne amount progress that was being made.1 1802 there was nothing to show us what was being done, but, now, in 1902, we could, by the aid of the society\u2019s report, look over the world and see that not a mountain but had been scaled, not a \u2018stream nor an ocean but had been crossed, not a difficulty but had been surmounted by the bearers of the cross.He implored his hearers that their lives might -be one great act of consecration, and then this work ef the Bible Society wofld ever prosper in their midst.+The devotional portions of the ser- Vite were torducted

says: It is certain that in influential quaiters where the international situation is best known the end of the South African war wouid be welcome, more particularly because Great Britam\u2019s hands would be free and she would be able to make her voice heard more effectually in the counvils of lurope.he correspondent says it 1 doubtful whether the present con: fusion in the relations among the gicas powers would have existed it Great bre tain's attention and energies had not been absorbed in South Africa.\u2018Tne Brussels correspondent of the \u2018Times\u2019 says: The prospects for the term'nation of the South African war comt:nue to be an engrossing topic in the press, which expresses its sincere desire that the Boers lose no opportunity of forwarding their propcsals through an

therefore, the | nation would have to look forward to a war with its present friends, the slave- olders, far more expensive, more pro- \u2018longed and to be fought with greater \u201closs of life

concerned, he finds that laxity prevails while the convict gangs are at work, and that, with few exceptions, there is a degree of: familiarity between the gang and the officer in charge which prevents the latter from enforcing deference and author: ity when he desires to-do so.He finds the same fault with the administration of the St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, -only that in this case the difficulties of enforcing discipline are accentuated by a very general traffic between convicts and the officers.Two guards were dismissed last year for carrying contraband articles | to convicts and for acting as the medium of colpmunication between convicts and outside friends, and we are led to believe thet these offences are custo 4 The inspector does not blame the dens, but the system.The warden i is held responsible for the custedy.of the convicts, but he does not appoirt his officers, and the public will agree with Mr.Stewart that abuses may be expected to continue until the warden shall be empowered to secure the best possible police assistance, without restriction ag to race, creed or locality.The \\inspector notes that in Great Britain officers of the outside branches.of the service are not permitted to serve in\u2019 the diatriet from which the appointment is made.He concludes that if such a rule were introduced in Canada the Principal element of \u2018weakness and scandal would: be removed.This reasoning i is unimpeach- \"able, but until the curse of politics ie removed from our civil and public service, no such reform may be expected, Great Britain is on a \u201cheight in this respect that very few of our public men are even trying to reach.But - Mr.Stewart brings a charge even more serious than that of,lack of discipline against the medical régime of St.Vincent de Paul.He says the surgeon repeatedly admitted .that the general health of the convicts is unsatisfactory, and attributed this to the evil results caused by the cooking appliances in use, and the lack \u2018of \u201ccutlery supplied to-the convicts.The ! inspector, however, bluntly claims that SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1902, most part, outside of our ken.It is admitted that the 46\u2018

shown by the fact that during the past year about one hundred and fifty pounds of tineture of opium and about two thousand morphine pellets passed through the St.Vincent de Paul Penitentiary.Such a condition of affairs is a real disgrace to the country, and the government cannot afford to disregard it.[Evidently a Howard is required to investigate our convict system and bring its evils home to the minds and consciences of the country at large.Artest.THE DUTCH AND ACHIN.Our horizon is naturally so bounded by our own history and current affairs that the majority of us have little time to spare for the concerns of the world at large.Colored peoples are, for the It is safe to say that the majority, outside of the schools, would puzzle their brains in vain to find Achin there.Yet Achin (pronounced Acheen), the town of which lies very near the north-west extremity of Sumatra, was once entirely under the \u201cinfluence of England, and for the past thirty years has been a theatre of war, in which our critical friends the Dutch, so remorseful over our evil deeds, have been the aggressors.It was after the restoration of Java to the Dutch that importance was attached by the neighboring English colonies to the maintenance of our influence in Achin, and in 1819 a treaty of friendship was concluded by the Calcutta Government which excluded other European _ nationalities from having fixed residence there.In 1824, when the British Government surrendered our remaining settlements in Sumatra to the Netherlands, in exchange for certain possessions on the continent of Asia, no reference was made to the Indian treaty, but it was understood that mo proceedings hostile to Achin should be attempted.reservation was formally abandoned by - the British Government in a convention signed at The Hague on Nov, 2, 1871, and scarcely more than a year had passed before the government of Batavia, in Java (the capital of all the Dutch settlements in the east), declared war up- The necessity\u201d for the war has been greatly doubted even in Holland.But, whether there was any right eous cause for it or no, the Dutch landed a force in April, 1873, and attacked the palace.In this first fight the Duteh- men were defeated with considerable loss, including that of their general, Kohler, but hostilities were resumed, and Achin fell in January, 1874.In 1878, the Achin (Atjeh) kingdom was formally turned into a Dutch government, but the greater part of the territory is still but little known, and the people have never ceased to fight for their independence.Indeed, Dutch progress in Sumatra has always been very gradual, as Mr.H.A.Webster informs us, and, even yet, though their supremacy is effective all round the: coast, much of the interior remains practically unpossesesed.The Dutch, like the Boers, are fond of slave labor, and until very recently forced labor was employed by the government, who, in addition to their own food, made the natives produce large quantities of coffee, sugar, pepper, and indigo for export.Foreed labor is even now employed in the cultivation of coffee in Jave and the west coast of Sumatra.-If it be questioned why the Dutch have made so many sacrifices to extend their possessions in - Sumatra, one answer is to be found in the fact that the island is extremely rich in mineral and other natural wealth.Gold, tin, copper, iron, coal, oil, arsenic, saltpetrx, alum, naphtha, and sulphur are all found and produced in more or less abundance, while among the.cultivated plants are sugar cane, Coffee, rice, in a great variety of kinds, the cocoanut palm, the areng palm, the areca and .sago palms, Pepper plantations form the most conspicuous feature of the south of the island, while the exports of coffee from the Padang districts amount to some three Among the fruit trees are the Indian tamarind, the pome- ganate, guava, orange and lemon, while benzoin was formerly obtained almost

camphor.In the sixteenth century considerable silk Was produced, but it was gold that most attracted trade to the place two centuries ago.The annual export of the precious metal has been variously estimated, Valen- tyn giving it at 512,000 ounces, Crawford (1820) at 10,450 ounces, and Anderson (1826) at 32,000 ounces.Certainly the trade of the port was very considerable and it was to it that the first Dutch and the first English commercial ventures to the Indies were directed about 1600.Once upon a time there were English, Duteh, Danes, Portuguese, Chinese, Banyans from Gujerat and, other

W.W.Bowers was in Congress from California when Theodore Roosevelt was a member of the civil service commis: sion.Mr.Bowers had some trouble with the civil service commission, and in a San Diego imberview expressed the opinion that civil service was a \u2018fake\u2019 and that one Roosevelt, a young man.in the commision, was a \u2018fakir.Mr, Bowers was made collector of San Diego by Present McKinley.His name came up.before President Roosevelt for reappomtment., Russell C.Al len, of San Diego, who wanted the place, brought to Washington a file of the San Diego paper in which the interview was printed.and showed # to the President.Mr.Roosevelt read the interview care- pually in June, and then a fair was held fully and then said: lasting two months.And who are these \u2018Acimese, whom the Dutch have found such unconguer- able foes?Not barbarians certainly, as the foregoing shows.They are said not te be identical with the Malays proper, either in aspect or language.They are taller, handsomer, and darker, as if with a mixture of blood from India.The traces of Hindu influence still to be found in the island are considerable, and there are ruins of [Hindu temples in numerous localities.In the thirteenth century Mobammedanism began to make itself felt, and in course of time took a firm hold upon some of the most important states, and the Achinese dynasty boasts its origin from a missionary of Islam.Their language has absorbed much Malay, but the original part of it is said to have characteristics comnecting # both with the Batta and with the Indo-Chi- nese tongues.Their literature, however, is entirely Malay, and embraces poetry, chronicles end much theology.In the seventeenth century a good deal of pomp was maintained at the court, and the \u201cking, according to Beaulieu, : had al- way nine hundred elephants.To give some idea of Iskandar Muda\u2019s resources, who was king in 1615, it is stated that Ye fitted ont an armada for the conquest of Malacca, consisting of five hundred sail, of which \u2018two hundred 2nd fifty \"7 werd\u201d galfeys;\u201d abd \u2018among \u2018thése were a hundred gréäter than dny then used in Europe.Sitty thousand men were embarked, with the king and his women.Thirty sovereigns in all have reigned from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the proclamation of Dutch sovereignty, among whom four were queens, The reign of the female sovereigns lasted successively fifty-eight years, female government being finally suppressed in 1699 by the Arab or fanatical party, who put a chief of Arab blood upon the throne, - and, the historian concludes: \u2018The remaming history of Achin is one of rapid decay.\u2019 .In the height of its glory it is interesting to find that Lan- \u20181 shall reppoint Mr.Bowers He is a good officiel.His personel opinions of me twelve years ago have nothing to do with the case.Mr.Bowers was reappomted.rires HOW CHANCE NAMED A CAPE.For some time past puzzled geographers have wondered whence \u2018Cape Nome,\u2019 in Alaska, derived its strange appela- tion._ An American professor, Professor Davidson, arrived at the conclusion that the name was probably given during the voyage of the Franklin relief ships \u2018Herald\u2019 and \u2018Plover,\u2019 in the years 1845-51, and thought it likely that it might have been given in honor ot one of the officers on board one or other of these ships.He accordingly wrote to the Hydrographer oi the Admiralty in London, asking if any officer of that name was-on the list of officers of \\these vessels.The professor\u2019s surmise proved incorrect, but indirectly, says the \u2018Ecotsman,\u2019 his inquiry has led to the solution of the problem.- \u2018It appears that when the manuscript map of the coast was prepared from surveys made by the officers of the \u2018Herald,\u201d it was found that the headland had no name.The officer making the chart wrote opposite it -\u2018?name\u2019 this was inked in by a draughtsman on the ship as \u2018C.Name,\u2019 and when the map went to the Admiralfy anotber draughtsman there, the \u2018a\u2019 being indistinct, copied it on to.the chart as \u2018U.Nome,\u201d and the name has continued in use ever since.ne | HUMORS OF JAMAICA NEGROES, Truly * to \u2018dissuade these law-abiding but.law loving people.from indulging their passion for litigation.is perhaps the most valuable, as'it is certainly the lengthiest, part of the justice\u2019s business.And in these trivial stories, these childish individualities, Black Jamaica, with all its problems, is continually passing his window.The tenant who has now so.Tong eccupied it is telling, in the sweet, inexpressibly plaintive \u2018negro voice, an interminable story concerning the mysterious disappearance of his yams.\u2018iTiefing,\u2019 he calls it.The government calls it \u2018 praedial larceny,\u2019 and is preparing a cat-o\u2019-nine-tails for the thief;

5 ( 1g ) a \u201cfed for RE but, on the other hand, young girl who liad been beougbt up in another temperance club, and perhaps the home alongside where neither, Jus: band nor wife were teetotallers, was in| many cases most striking.One was like the anteroom to Heaven, and the other the ante-room to hell.From the point of view of health, ne went on to urge, teetotalism was by far the best thing.Even at.the advansii: dge of forty-three, he d amidet iaughter, he found that his \u2018teefotal principles ex- g-OVeTr So many years had been-oë great service to him, and shat in many things he was able té nod bis own with many a younger man who had not adopt- | \u20acd \u201ctheir principles.And if this os true for those of éldér people it was ;

\u2018 They were the long roots of 1 water- soaked stump that had lain for niounths, haps years, on the river-bottom, and had now been swept by the current to the head of the flume.It was against just such unwelcome visitors as this that the grate was destined 1o be a barrier.\u2018 Now appeared a huge __octopuslike body, revolving gradually in_ the flood.It bung for a moment at the opening of the penstock, and then disappeared down the dark cavity, its roots scraping against the sides and top as it rolled over.\u2018I snatehed a boat-hook that lay on the embankment and made an effort.to fix its steel tooth in.the slimy stump.For 2 moment I thought I had succeeded.I leaned over a little farther; the earth crumbled under me, and I fell head foremost into the race ! LL .\u201cAs I fell I caught with my hands st the lower part of the grating.~My weight swung it out into the current, which immediately whirled it to; and theré I hung, my\" body tailing off \u2018into the penstock, .ragged down by the clutch of the water.- \u2018My position was a terrible one.1 was holding on merely by the tips of my.fingers, which were hooked.round one of the wooden bars.lashed m A , pipe to the other.If I 100sed my grid in the slightest I should be swept to death.Below me was the thousand feet of steel tube, through whith an irresistible torrent was shootifig ; and at its end was the great -vheel, revolving with the swiftness of right, and ready to lacerate and mangle whatever migat be hurled against it.The current 3 1 LEANED OVER A LITTLE FARTHER ; THE EARTH CRUMBLED UNDER ME ble with the wooden grates that kept drift stuff from getting into the penstock, which is, as you know, ihe great tube * of iron or banded plank conveying the.water from the mill-race to-the wheel.In the last high water a log had brok- upper spruce bars.\u2018The nm as running overtime fo fi.extra \u2018orders, and the~company did mot wish to close it for half a day unless it was abaolutely Patents So I was asked to repair fhe damage without shutting the gate at the head of the race.1 looked at the oreak, and saw that it would be no very difficult task it while the water was on, ; were swung pat sent for my tools and went to work.- \u2018It waa a drowsy midsurminer morning.Dragon flies and swallows were darting over the surface of the river, and from the \u2018stubble-fields on each side came the shrill, rasping sound of whe.grasshopper.In the street above a group of little girls were laughing and\u2019 playing.Several \u201chundred feet up the river, ander a grove of leaning willows, was a swimming-holz, e grate .where a nalf-dozen boys were disporting themselves, .\u201cIf I had not bezn interrupted three | \u2018or four times by messengers from my department in the mill, I should have fin- As\u2019 it was, it was almost noon before the my satisfaction.The hot sun beat down on my head as I - worked away at the grating; below, the \u201csmooth, - \u2018the flute.; - \u2018With my back to the race, L was'[ .putting a few final touches on my work brown weber ran\u2019 steadily, into close to the water, when something hap- ned\u201d that for a moment frightened me There came a sharp clutch M my sleeve.2 2-7, ; -¢ I \u201cwhirled round \u2018in: surpriss, and \u2018saw \u2018son like a léan brown arm rising \u2018rom the water !

it may be.He forgets that the child\u2019s mind, like his body, is not fully grown in its strength and vigor and that the pro- lon; tension is just as severe on the mind as it would be on the body; yes, more so.How often, even in our present day arrangement of the school time-table for the year, do we hear of nervous diseases or their early traces in our schoolrooms.It is an everyday observation of mine and cannot but attract the notice of one brought into contact with these young lives for a few hours.The signs are unmistakable.This alone assures of the necessity to watch and \u2018guard the physical develop- - ment.: of the past from which we have degenerated (?), the age of the \u2018three R\u2019s\u2019 1 grant him that able and brilliant scholars \u2018come to us from this period, for from this age we owe it that we have the noble figure who adorns our-educa- tional system, Dr.McLellan.Through the efforts of the latter our system has largely reached its present status, - through him who saw all the harshness the.only re and : safe psychological training our, present : day system.Advertisements.: \u2014.od] engine,\u201d to be turned: to any kind of r friend refers us to the sturdier age! pe;

they are less to: day on the average than they were at one time.are no doubt larger in other respects, but they are net disproportionate, by any means, to those of any other public institutions.But the conclusions.are not to be drawn from this consideration.They must depend :on the products.And who will .say that our youth are not being fitted to raise the plane of the coming generation in advance of the pre ceding ?- - 5 hg It \u201cis true that there are yet : weaknesses \u2018in our system\u2019 which \u2018will-in tihie disappear we go.on unto perfestion: Many are irous of doing away with our examinations, in part-at least.aminations which require in.the matter of preparation, mere cramming, should be abolished, and examinations which would test the pupil\u2019s ability to do: and think should be exercised.EE Fortunately, the best system of intellectual training is also the best moral training.Then the true aim of education will consider the harmonious physical, intellectual and moral \"development of the child \u2018 : Then, to sum up, it is the pupil's, that must direct in this great problem.The child needs the open-air freedom, of a fair proportion of the-day, and a period of total relief for a part of the year, that his body may perform and sus tain all the efforts demanded.I coñ- not do any better than quote to You Huxley's definition -of education, and leave it with you as-the best cqmpre;

and that the invocation or adora- {tion of the Virgin Mary or any other i saint, and the sacrificé of-the Mass, as \u2018they are now used in the Church of Rome, are, superstitious and idolatrous The remaining words of \u2018the declaration state that it is made without equivo- \u2018eation.- The above \u2018declaration was made and signed by King Edward VII when he ascended the throne, the origh nal of.which-is found in the.Act of Set- tiement, 12 and 13.Will3, ec.2: - ~ The statutory coronation oath as taken by Her: late \u2018Mbst Gracious Majesty \u2018Queen Victoria as part of the coronation -ceremony, and by her: predecessors for tion tant bad à ng t be p in its at th Sir resol of Hj insul convig oath subjed bot tions lution the re dimin from of the r thelr demna - spect: offensi \u2018dut fr ste.I fee ;

with what result a de epatch which appeared in the \u201cWitness under date of Aug.6 will show.The following is the despaten: = 217 \u2018Londen, Aug.6.\u2014Although no division was challenged at the third reading of the King\u2019s Declaration Bill last: evening in the House of Lords, it is penerally bes lieved that no further attempt will be made to pass it, either this session or the next.ord Salisbury, referritg to the statement of -theé Roman Catholic peers, said the \u2018government now \u2018realized that the Catholics \u201cdid not \u2018wish \u2018the \u2018offensive wording\u2019 of \u2018the original declaration to be withdrawn.ûnless the government at the same time withdrew \u2018the declara- tant succession.The government: never nad the slightest intention of withdrawing that.The Roman -Cathglics\u2019 mush be prepared to see the declaration stand in its present form: SAL The following resolutions were adopted at the meeting held at Halifax: =~ .Sir M.B.Daly moved the.following resolution: \u2018Resolved, that the Catholies of Halifax, Nova-Scotia, in meeting as sembled, protest emphatically against the insult offered to their \u201cQearést religious convictions in the declaration of \u201cthe oath of accession, and as loyal Canadian subjects of the empire keenly .resent both the offensive assertions and insinuations contained therein.\u2019 0 Senator Power moved the second resolution.as follows: \u2018Resolved,- that as the religious belief of Catholics: does not diminish their loyalty.ner restrain them from shedding their blood in-the cause of the empire, they protest .agiinst and resent the singling out of any article of their faith for special rejection or con respectfully ask that this Unnecessary and offensive reference be.entirely blotted out from the aforesaid declaration .« ste\u201d : ; I feel strongly, Mr.Editèr, that as citi- gens of an empire made up of different races, holding different religious beliefs, we should where it\u2019 is poskible avoid giving offence or hurting onegnothers feels ings, and that \u2018equal justice\u2019 should Ve meted out to 2ll classes.> I.admit, too, that in the declarstion quoted above as made by the\u2019 sovereign at his accession, there is apparent: ground for the protest \u2018against the insult offered to, the dearest religious convictions\u201d of Roman Catholics.At the same time, I think it will be found -on duly considering the origin of the declaration and the reasons which: led to its being required of our rulers, that there is no real ground for protest.With this object in view, let me \u2018ask the gentlemen who passed the above resolutions if they would be willing to exchange their citizenship in the British empire say for that of France, Austria, Spain or any other Roman Catholic country, ever for the \u2018States of the.Chureh;\u2019 the temporal kingdom of the Pope of Rome as it existed in its best days.No, I am sure they would not, because they know they would not have the \u2018equal justice\u2019 which one of the speakers at the Halifax meeting claimed fortis co-reli- onists.Neither would they be willing, am sure, to go back to the condition of things in England before the kingdom became Protestant.'They will all edmit, along with their Protestant fellow- citizens, that under the constitution and laws of the Protestant empire of Great Britain they enjoy greater civil and religious liberty than, the citizens of any Roman Catholic country under \u2018the sun.They will not admit, however, that the civil and religious liberty is the product of the Reformation of the sixteenth century.It was liberty so dearly bought and so highly prized by the Protestants of that and the following century that the nation resolved after \u2018coming forth £uccessfully from the long: andr bitter conflict with the Church of Rome, to constitute itself by.constitutional law a Protestant nation, with a Protestant throne and legislature.\u201d And this was done because \u2018the law, of self-preservation on the part of the nation demanded then, and demands still, the adoption of.this principle.\u2019 But Roman Catholics will say, as:they did say at the Halifax meeting, that the declaration made by our rulers on com- ng to the throne after the form in ques- sion 1s an insult offered to their dearest religious convictions.~ But this must be affirmed, therefore, of every Protestant as well.For.every Protestant believes that there is no change in the bread and\u2019 wine of the Lord\u2019s Supper, and that the worship of the Virgin Mary and the sac- Tifice of the Mass are superstitious and idolatrous, And this being their com- £clentious conviction, is it an insult to Roman Catholics for them to declare their honest convictions amy more than for Roman Catholics to declare that their words are blasphemou® No insult is intended in either case, but simply a de- = ;

nevertheless, they are not inclined\u2019 to let such a change be made\u2019 without remembering the promises madë by the Reform candidates before last election in regard to a revenue tariff.If the manufacturers would compare the condition of our farmers with themselves they would see a wide contrast.In the manufacture of a binder, according to an estimate of their own, one can be made at a profit of $65, while the farmers have to pay $125 for one, and yet the manufacturer wants all the markef to himself, f our manufacturers would lower the prices of their machines to a price that would keep .out competition our farmers would buy Canadian goods, and therefore they would have all our trade.The present\u201d government has not\u2019 fulfilled its promises-by any means, and to attempt to make the changes ask- |ed for would make it véry unpopular.We have not forgotten the acts of the government, which dared not be -pro- posed on a canvass, namely, the $500 appropriation to last session\u2019s salary.Farmers expect promises to be fulfilled.A REFORMER OF BRANT \u20acOUNTY.Jan.20, 1902.A CRY FROM THE NORTH-WEST.-(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\") Sir,\u2014It is to be hoped that the Pres byterian Church- in Canada will thnk twice and think seriously, too, before: deciding to continue, in the North-West which has prevailed there for the past twenty years.Church and of the country also depends \u2018too much on the labors of its missionaries .bo make it desirable that - their position, their comfort and useful: ness should lie under the thumb of any one man.They have really\u2019 discourage: ménts enough, at best, and to augment these discouragements by robbing them of \u2018the modicum of independence which, in any case, : can command, would be an \u2018unkindness which, surely, the Church at large & too generous ta exhibit, ; If reports are true it seems hard work, in any case, to induce men from the cast-to-face mission work in ve North-West.It will not help their zeal to make them feel that, while Presbyterian in their sentiments, they are coming to a country where they must \u2018work under a system which to all intents and purposes is essentially prelatic in its character.If we bave any sympathy to spare we owe it to the men who m thei ipresbytenies act often under the appre- rision that \u2018their bread and butter depends upon how they are to vote.in their own counts.JOHN McKAY.Elphinstone, Man., Jan.22;

fifty years ago it inhabited Virginia, West Virginia and southern Pennsylvania, and seventy- five years ago it was killed often in west- \u201cern New York.Its disappearance from its northern ranges and concentration in this comparatively unsettled part of the world has puzzled naturalists, yet.the.explanation is simple.Of all squirrels\u2019 the .black is the most secretive, It dis likes the light.It is happy only when in deepest, darkest, thickest woods.Its color fits 1t best for concealment in shadows.It is not friendly or sociable.It does not consort with other members| of ite tribe.It is not a.squirrel of civi- ization.It does not frequent trees close to houses;
