\u2018Gen.Kuropatkin\u2019s position is more diticult than that which confronted Lord Roberts in South Africa.It is as if Lord Roberts received his supplies by rail, via Constantinople, Cairo and Central Africa.It will be a long time before Gen.Kuropatkin will have enough supplies and men to assume the offensive.In the meanwhile he will have to fight rear guard actions, perhaps giving up important positions like Nm chwang, which are of vastly more consequence than Kai chou.; READY FOR DEATH GRAPPLE.Headquarters of General Count Keller, Niut kiay, eleven miles west of Lian dian sian, July 12.\u2014The opposing armies are grimly facing each other on the heights across the Liank river, ready to engage in a death grapple.Lo.The Liank crosses the main Liao yang to Fen huang cheng road, twenty-eight miles east of Liao yang, fiows north into the Tai sze river, which passes through Liao yang and empties into the Liao river.The correspondent of the Associated Press, who arrived here after a thirty- five-mile ride from Siao lindji, saw long lines of infantty and transport trains winding through the mountains.At Lian dian sian a lookout, stationed in a tree-top, pointed out the way to General Keller's headquarters, near Niut kiay.There the Russian eastern army was found, hidden in the hills.ln a plain tent, the correspondent saw General Keller, living like a simple soldier, bis stak being quartered in a native hut near by.The general was cheerful and bronzed by exposure.He talked enthusiastically of the engagement at Hoi yan.Around the general's tent were many officers of the Guards, the pride of St.Petersburg.To see them as weather- beaten as the Cossack officers, one could scarcely believe them to be the dashing Guardsmen of the Russian capital.They have become hardened fighters, for bard- Ir a day passes: without collisions between the advance posts of the eastern ermy and the Japanese.The whole army is anxious to fight General Kuroki, whose headquarters are at Vandiapudze and whose men are entrenched om the other side of the river.The burning question is who will be the first to cross the dread valley of the Liank river?ATTEMPT TO INDUCE SURRENDER Liao yang, July 12.\u2014A box full of Japanese proclamations, offering inducements to Russian soldiers who surrender, ni.been brought here from Ta tche kiao.Many of them were scattered among Gen.Mistchenko\u20193 men.The heat is frightful, thermometers regi-rering 104 degree in the shade.ACTIVE PREPARATIONS TO DEFEND TA TCHE K1AO.Niu chwang, July 11.\u2014Noon.\u2014Chinese commns in irom the country report the Russians everywhere retiring before the Japanese, who are soon expected here.Active preparations are being made for defence at Ta tche kiao.Business at this city, despite the situation, 1s brick and many ships are in port.EXPECT NO TROUBLE, SAY LLOYD'S.Tien tsin, July 12 \u2014Lloyd\u2019s agent at Nu chwang, telegraphing under date of Jais 11, says: \u2018General Oku has occu- red Kai chou without resistance, Gen.S'iekelberg retiring on Ta tche kiso.1 not expect trouble either with the Hrissian or the Japanese troons, RUSSIAN SICKNESS GREAT.> Petersburg, July 12, 1.50 p.m.\u2014An \u201cwwial statement of the number of sick »1 wounded belonging to the Manchur- + army shows a great increase in sick- vcs after a few days\u2019 rain and also a rze proportion of sick and wounded DYSENTERY RAGING.~t Petersburg, July 12, 1.50 p.m.\u2014OÏ- * \u201crs compared with men.The figures \u2018T°, according to the listed strength of * army: Befort the rains, to June 26, total was: Officers, 71, and men, 39 1+ thousand, of whom wounded officers \u201cmbered ten and men 6 per thousand;

ITALIAN AMBASSADOR TROUBLE.Rome, July 12.\u2014At the Japanese legation here it was learned to-day that there is no truth in the report that Japan had protested to Italy against the transferring of Signor Melegan, the Italian minister at Tokio, to St.Petersburg owing to his pro-Japanese attitude.On the contrary, the Italian Government consulted on the subject with the Government at Tokio, which replied that it had no objection to the trausfer of Siz- nor Melegari to the Russian æapital.The Japanese legation officials here added that there was no truth in the further report that the Japanese minister at Rome would be withdrawn.CANADIAN CABLES.(Canadian Associated Press.)

from Manchester, y ment.- In the first Reasons Given for its Slow PORTE SAID TO EXIST.Local manufacturers and shippers are considerably disturbed over the decrease and apparent declinipg interest in the trade between Canada and South Afritan ports.ldeed, so serious has the mat ter become that the Montfeal represeh- tatives of the Canada-South Africa Joint Steamship Service have taken up the question and through their local manager, Mr.J.R.Binning, they have decided to address a special circular to the government bringing to its attention tlhe principal features relative to this ser vice.The government, some time ago, subsidized the Canada-South Africa Joint Steamship Service so as to encourage Canadian manufacturers and others to turn their attention to the promotion of trade with the South African merchants, in the hope that in time a trade beneficial to both countries might be established and maintained.However, obstacles have crept into the scheme, and if reports prove true the blame for the present unsatisfactory state of ai- fairs is about to be placed where it be- ongs.Mr.R.B.Stoker, manger of the Manchester Steamship Company, which is interested in the South African trade; 1s Eng.When seen by a \u2018Witness\u2019 representative this afternoon he refused to speak on matters of trade, but admitted that he was in Canada on business relative to his company.Following is the report referred to above, that is to be sent to the government, and which deals with the difficulties complained of: \u2014 As you are fully aware, we have been making every possible effort to increase the quantity and diversity of Canadian goods for shipment to South Africa, but unfortunately, and especially during this season, the steamers have had to leave both St.John, N.B., and Montreal with very poor cargoes indeed; and, whilst we have reduced the ocean rates to a figure which will little more than cover the cost of handling in and out of the steamers, no apprecidble improvement is taking place.e have made enquiry of the various shippers as to the reasons for the position of things, with a view to getting their ideas for improving same, and we have come across eev- eral points which we think should be laid fore your department, with a view to your taking up, through yeur commissioner in South Africa, r.Jardine, with the South African Govern ce, English papers je bad considerable correspondence in to this same matter, and in She copy of \u2018Fairpley,\u2019 issued in England \u2018on June 18, we find an article dealing with the matter of rail rates on English godds arriving in South Africa; and, whilst the ocean rates from English ports to Capetown, Port Elizabeth, East London and Natal are from twice to three times as much as we ave now obtaining #frpm Canadian ports, the diversity hetwden the rail rate for comparatively short distances in that country as compared with ocean rate is altogether out of proportion.For instance, provisiqns carried from England to Capetown at the rate of 31s.3d.per ton of 2,240 pounds (and for which we here can only get 15s.) pays 242s.8d.for rail carriage from Capetown to Johannesburg, a distance of 1,014 miles.The rate from Durban to Johannesburg, which is only 483 miles, is 171s.8d.Rates on other commodities are practically on the same basis, deals, for instance, costing 143s.8d.from Capetown to Johannesburg, and 88s.11d.from Durban to the same pointas against ocean rates of 20s.and 27s.6d., respectively, from England; and bn our last steamer we could not get deals from Canada at a rate which would pay the steamer 20s.per 2,240 pounds.This point (which, as we have said, has been taken up through the English paper) is one, however, which may not especially affect imports from Canada, as we presume that these rates are charged on practically the same basis, whether local or ex steamer: but it is to our minds one of the reasons why business is developing more quickly along lines for which our steamers are being run between Canada and South Africa, and for which the Canadian Government is paying a subsidy.We have come across a still more flagrant cause, and which amounts to discrimination against imports; and, whilst we have heard a lot about preferential tariff and low rates of drty, to our minds the railway tariff issued on Jan.1, 1904, by the Cape Government railways amounts to a very heavy duly on goods which may be forwarded from Canada for inland points in South Africa.We Wive had this mater talked over with shippers who have lately sent large numbers of cattle by our steamers, and ome, who has returned to this country, is very strong in his comments on the treatment he has received.It appears that the rate on native cattle, which is based on a mileage tariff, makes the rate from, say, Capetown tn Pretoria, a distance jof 1,041 miles, for what is called a \u2018sh truck\u2019 of eight cattle, £9 15s.3d.e rate, however, on imported live stock for slaughter purposes is charged on the basis of one shilling per short truck per mile for the first three hundred miles, and ninepence per short truck per mile for the remaining distance of gver three hundred miles; which makes the ra from Capetown to Pretoria £42 155.dd.You will easily see from this how im: gible it is to import cattle to com; with live stock which may be shippée from Capetown for the same marketd With reference to the rate on imp ed produce, which, according to Cape Government railways\u2019 tariff, - = cludes wheat, mealies (or corn), oats, rye, barley and similar cereals, and for meal, flour and bran, is one penny.per ton mile, plus one-eighth per ton terminals; making rate per ton on six hundred miles distance, £2 11s.8d.The regular mileage tariff for local goods of the same nature for same distance is £1 6s.8d.We have in the past shipped a considerable quantity of these commodities to South Africa, and the present almost total cessation of these shipments 2s explained when these rates are put before us.And the same thing applies to shipments of frozen meats: The rate per Short.truck for six hundred miles on Imported frozen meats amounts to £26 5e, while on local fresh meats.fresh fish, per short truck thc rate is only £6 3s, 0d.It is just possible that \u2018the rates, especially on live cattle and irozen meats, have been established to protect vested Interests; but we think this a matter for discussion between the two govern- tuents, and as Canada has shown her ability to ship in the past we feel convinced that such shipments would be resumed if these differences were adjusted, at least, to some extent.We do not know what action the department might take in this connection, but we think it nght, not only in our own interest, but in the interest of shippers who have been so ready to try the service in the past, that this matter should be brought to your notice.We shall be pleased indeed to be of any further assistance we can, and meantime we await with interest your remarks in conection with the above facts.set UNITED STATES RAILWAYS GROSS EARNINGS FOR THE PAST FISCAL YEAR NEARLY TWO BILLION DOLLARS.Washington, D.C., July

COBBLER UNEARTHS SATCHEL OF SILVER STOLEN FROM QUANN.for dividends or surplus, $298,- Vancouver, July 12.\u2014Yesterday Peter |- Sinreson, a cobbler, of this city, went to a cértain spot in the woods near Hastings, and there found a satchel containing several hundred dollars ot silver stolen from the bookmaker Quann by highway robbers after the Dominion Day jockey-club races.Simeson told several persons he felt he could find the money, in epite of the fact that hundreds bave carefully searched the neighborhood ever since the daring hold-up.Accordingly, he took a street car to the point near where the robbery occurred, walked a mile and a quarter, then entered the bush where the highwaymen were supposed to have gone.Simeson\u2019s eye waa attracted by a small loop of string projecting from an old log lying in the heavy undergrowth.He pulled it out and found he had bit upon a valise full of silver.This he turned over to Quann and was given a reward of nifty dollars for his honesty.WRECKED THE TRAIN.BULGARIAN INSURGENTS PLACED DYNAMITE ON THE TRACK.Salonica, July 12.\u2014Twenty persons have been injured as the result of a wreck on the railway running from Sal- onica to

AGAIN FOR DISCUSSION AT THIS MORNING'S SITTING \u2014OTHER BUSNESS.Ottawa, July 12.\u2014At the Spening of the House this forenoon the Minister of, Militia brought down the papers and correspondence in connection with the year\u2019s extension granted to Lieut.-Colonel Gregory in his command of the 2nd Dragoons at St.Catharines.It was absolutely necessary, he said, that these papers should be produced because of the public attention that had already been \u2018drawn to the case.At the same time he regretted having to produce the papers, because matters of this nature were dealt with in a confidential way.The Minister of Justice brought in a bill respecting arbitration between His Majesty and the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada.In so doing he explaiged that its object was to confer on the arbitrators appointed to determine certain matters in dispute between the government of Canada and the Grand Trunk Railway power to call and examine witnesses under oath, to compel the production of papers relating to the matter in dispute, grant orders for examination on discovery, and generally such other requisite., Mr.Fitzpatrick remarked that the point at issue between the government and the Grand Trunk Railway is a complaint that the railway is not living u to the obligation in its contract of 1898 to hand over to the Intercolonial at Ste.Rosalie all traffic destined for the Maritime Provinces which had been gathered along the Grand Trunk system.Mr.Seymour Gourley asked wheth There was usally permission to appeal from this arbitration to the courts.The Minister could not definitely say.Tliere was usually permission to apepal from arbitration like this to the Exchequer Court first, and then to the Supreme Court, \u2019 Mr.W.F.Maclean remarked that the Grand Trunk Railway corporation, to which the government saw fit to entrust the construction of its new transcontinental railway system, was evidently a rather grasping concern to deal with.The Grand Trunk was not willing to obey the terms of the alien labor law, and from the ministerial\" statement it was clear that they were determined to build up American seaports in preference to our own seaports.The bill then passed the first reading.ongideration was then \u201cof the date the militia law of the country.ok Henri Bourase, of Labelle, called ption do the serions injuries sustained by a farmer naar

terspont struck the .steamer as it was reaching the breakwater.Over a hundred deals and a number of bricks on the upper deck were carried away, and one of the boats completely turned on the davitta.The steamer rolled for a time, and the en: gines were stopped for a few minutes, hy! as no damage was caused to the steamer it proceeded on its way.The waterspout started ir the river St.Charles and crossed over to Levis, opposite the breakwater, where it broke up against the hills of the latter town without causing any apparent éamage.MISHAP TO THE BOSTON.Halifax, N.S8., July

fifteen minutes.She had 240 par- sengers, and boats were at once cut looses.ready for launching.There was a dense fog, and Captain Stanwood had been sounding for some time, when he made the fog whistle, and started ahead, Ir a [ew minutes the Bostor brought up with a crash.A boat was put over the side, and tbe second officer sent ashore for assistance, but before he could return the Boston backed off with her own steam and arrived in time to make train connections.Twenty feet of her plates and stems are carried away, and her collision bulkhead is full of water.MALLORY LINE STEAMER

are-fed into it one by one and, as each one drops onto the cateh it is speedily carried down and rolls out at the bottom.Released from the weight of the cheese the platform rises to its former position, and another box is placed thereon, with \u2018precisely the same result.The ap- psratus is made in two sizes, the smaller handling only one box at a time, \u2018while the latter will take two.It is claimed for the invention that the cargo can be han- led much quicker, and that the percentage of broken boxes is largely reduced.SAILORS\u2019 INSTITUTE CONCERT TONIGHT.A good programme has

village of Palencia, he writes, and 8s we could get no accommodation in the cane cabins we were obliged to sleep in our hammocks.The place swarmed with mosquitoes, end while Tipe-Chico slept soundly 1 arose and built a fire in whose smoke I passed the night.But if Tipe was immune to the plague of mosquitoes he did not escape a more serious pest.Whife asleep he was sucked by a vampire.When I met him in the morning his.eat toe was still bleeding, and his mmock wag stained with clotted blood.; Nobody in Yucatin coud explain to fae how the vampire manages to draw güch a large quantity of blood\u2014from six to ten ounces\u2014while its victim all the time remains in a profound sleep.1 ve never heard of any one waking vhile the vampire sucked him; indeed go gently does this nocturnal surgeon w the blood that the patient by some qysterious process is lulled into a pro- pund sleep.The vampire measures about two feet om wing to wing tip, hae very sharp th, not unlike those of a rat.and at- sacks sleeping animals as well as human beings.If he inflicts a wound with his teeth, one would think that the pein would cause the person who is sucked to awake, but it does not.When the victim awakes in the morning he is languid and weak, and it is only when be eces the blood in his hammock that be realizes that the vampire was with Bim during the night.* There are two species of the vampire n the forests of Yucatan and Guatema- a, and both suck living animals.One fs larger than the common bat, the other .measures about two feet from wing to .wing extended.re ; Wo- : considerably

in the cause of the public bealth.One does Dot need to be old to remember the time when the medical faculty.took no interest in the public health.There were no professors of hygiene and we have known a professor of hygiene who was the owner and administrator of some of the most insanitary dwellings in the city.Surely the world grows better.Dr.Philip Carpenter, who devoted himeelf to sanitary.reform when our death rate was, if we remember right, sixty-four per thousand, though the brother of a \u2018very eminent physiologist, was himself a clergyman and a doctor of philosophy.To-day our physicians are in the van of reform and seem determined to reach and expose and extirpate the causes of contagious disease and of infant mortality.What a task they bave before them is revealed in the important interview with Dr.Valin, which recently appeared in these columns.He is responsible for the hideous revelation that some of our residential colleges, for boys, we dq not know if it be the same with girls, do not possess a bath and that a boy leaves them at the end of his term with his skin untouched from the time he entered.We had heard of such being thie life of some of the peasants of Europe, who are in this below the level of most barbarians, but it is hard to believe that people among ourselves live so.Dr.Valin is urgent that all schools, colleges and comn- vents should be under constant medical inspection, so that not only might \u2018the lives of the children themselves be saved and made useful to the community, but that the practical result of sanitary precept and example should react upon the homies of the people.Another thing which Dr.Valin urges is some machinery for the training of mothers \u2018in the primafy duties of motherhood.Quite apart from milk we believe the majority of the children who die, die from being improperly fed and incompetently cared for.The ônly rule with .most mothers in feeding their children is what the little ones can be got to take, and they tell with pride how they have learned to eat what the rest.eat.Experiment is, no doubt, an important factor, Wut parental common sense should count for something.It may be possible to raise the milk question out of its true perspective, but few reforms are wrought without concentrating attention on a given point, and if the zeal of Doctor and Alderman Dagenais, Dr.Laberge, health officer, and Dr.Demers, milk inspector, in their war upon bacteria, has the result of securing for the infants of the city pure milk, even, to some extent, at the public cost, it-will be one point gained.The five -handred dollars voted by the city to this end, instefd of the five thousand asked for by Alderman Dagenais, is, we presume, tentative, but it seems altogether

modified to suit sick children by the Montreal Foundling Hospital and the Sisters of Mercy.As soon as possible, however, it is the intention of the Association to provide a Pasteurizing apparatus of its own, We submit that citigens could not aid a more beneficent work than this.In all countries it is beginning to be recog- pized not only that the child is father\u2019 to the man, but that the child is the seed of the coming generations.In Paris and in Brussels so far has this recognition gone.that .the municipalities aee to it.that all children are fed as well as educated.A good deal of the same kind of work has been done in London \"too, partly by the authorities and partly by -private benevalence.But just now.there are strong efforts being- made in London to make the proper feeding of poor children official and general, and no doubt is entertained that so wise a reform will soon be accomplished.We only mention these things to show how 2 are in .tbe care of our Young.\"Those countries, apart from philanthropy, recognize that the unnecessary death of a single child, or its stunted physical, and surroundings, is economic.waste, and a preventable form \u2018of race suicide and deterioration.More and more, bumanity is recognizing that it is its brother's keeper and that the amelioration of suffering and the stamping out of ignorance is -its business.Furthermore, that the race of the future is to be won by that nation whose members are the soundest, the most virile, the most fit.\u2018The fittest\u2018 will suvive: -If we are to take any foremost place as a nation in

babies to the poor, there will doubt- to the philanthropic physicians andthe ladies actively engaged in this work; while the newspapers, as the doctors suge put, will be glad to co-operate in the useful information among the masses.But five hundred dollars is not sufficient contribution from: the city.\u201cThe saving of one infant for good citizenship is worth more than that.\u2019 pote THE FIRST IN AMERICA.There were no.pessimists.at .Peter- borough on Saturday, when the hydraulic lift lock on the Trent canal, just completed, and said to be the largest in the world, was opened and operatéd in the presence of influential spectators from all parts of Canada.Many congratulatory speeches were made, but naturally what caused most joy to the people was the intimation of Mr.Emmerson, Minister {of Railways and Canals, that the government would finish the remainder of the work, to which it has already contributed so largely.Out of more than four millions spent on this work since it began, two and a half millions have been spent by the present government, and there is still to add what was spent between June 30 of last year and the present time.This sum of $4,135,353 lis not frightful when compared with $4,281,465 spent on capital account on the Sault Ste.Marie canal up to June 30 last year; $4,182,083 on the Carillon and | Grenville canal, and $4,537,023 on the Rideau canal, * including the Perth branch.Considering that the Trent Valley canal, or waterway, is to be two hundred and three miles long when completed, from the \u2018extreme eastern Quinte, and that a hundred and sixty miles of this has been made navigable, with only short stretches at either end to be completed, if another million or so will complete it, as is claimed, the country can perhaps afford it,\u201d and it should be worth\u2019 while.The Cornwall canal has cost us nearly seven millions, and so has the Soulanges canal, so that six millions or so does pot seem a high figure for so any miles of difficult and expensive work.The Trent Valley route would be shorter by two hundred and fifty miles between Sault Ste.Marie and Montreal than the route by way of the Welland.Whether the many locks, and the fact that it is a barge canal, would discount all the gain in.mileage is variously pronounced upon.The advocates their never-wavering enthusiasm in face of many.setbacks, will quote you dis tances and rates to: prove that the through canal would be a great success from.the start.Let us hope that they are right.At any rate, they are to be congratulated upon what\u2019 they

on this lift lock, which has a rise and fall of sixty-five feet, and on an ordinary lock which overcomes the remaining twelve- feet of fall between the two points, and, according to all the speak- \u2018ers, the money has been well spent.Mr.Emmerson, indeed, spoke of it not only as.a.marvel of the advance of engineering skill, but as a work that will stand out in the history not only of Canada but of the Empire.At least we can all agree with\u2019 him in congratulating ourselves upon having \u2018the largest lock of its kind in the world.[For the \u2018Witness.\u2019 OUT IN THE OPEN.A Rhyme

that, according to the purposes of the Aesociation, the city should be the owner of the grounds and buildings and would control all the finances.\u2018Considering that the Association is composed of representatives of the principal public bodies of the city; there fore the city agrees to grant the sum of $10,000, but on condition that no part of the sum shall be disbursed without the approval of the Finance Committee.When the motion was read, Alderman Couture called \u2018next meeting.\u201d He said the city should.not be in a hurry to vote $10,000, without knowing how it was to be used.Mayor Laporte said the city\u2019s offer of a grant of money was needed by the Association to support its request to the government for a much larger grant.Ald.Couture then withdrew his objection.Ald.Sadler intimated that his twenty- five years\u2019 experience with exhibitions did not make him an enthusiast in their favor.The success of an exhibition depended on the co-operation of exhibitors, the attendance of large crowds of visitors, and, first of all, a heavy outlay of money besidesawork and responsibility in launching \u201cthe scheme.In the elements that made for success, he thought Montreal was deficient.He THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.a A \u201d - aim, vt ° \u201cFlesh Horribly.Burnt By Corn Cures that Contain acids \"and harmful Chemicals., Sores that never heal are caused by cheap corn cures composed largely of salycilic acid.- About the only safe remedy to use is Putnam's Corn Extractor, which is entirely free.from acids and burning chemicals.It is purely vegetable, causes no pain, acts satisfactorily in 24 hours.Mr.James Bissonnette, blacksmith, of Malachy, Que., writes: \u2018I have\u2019 derived excellent results from Putnam\u2019s Painless Corn aid Wart Extractor.It is a splendid cure for corns and warts, and has been very helpful to me\u2019 Every bottle is guaranteed.Refuse a substitute and get \u2018Putnam's\u2019;

the exhibition as the manufacturers did not consider the advertising advantages to be gained, sufficient compensation for the expense and trouble of exhibiting.The Ottawa, Sherbrooke, St.Johns and Quebec fairs were established, and Montreal could not hope to attract man of their patrons or exhibitors.He di not want the city to go into an enterprise that would leave them a quarter of a million in debt when it was over.Alderman Payette said an exhibition was all right enough, but the council had to consider whether it had money to spend on it, or whether it needed money for streets and sidewalks.The $10.000 was only the beginning of the af- ir.Alderman Gallery and others spoke on the point, and said the city should know at once whether it was to be responsible for the indebtedness of the Associa- ion.Mayor Laporte said he did not think that the city could be held res ponsible for debt until it had contracted debt.The first thing to find out was whether the citizens wanted an exhibition.as without this information it would not be of much use to go to Ottawa for a subsidy.The motion was then put and carried as under :\u2014 ; Ayes\u2014Aldermen Vallieres, J.ariviere,

before the council meeting, Ald.Dagenais presented a request for $5,000.The majority of the committee, however, did not see why the city should spend money in that way.Mayor Laporte said he thought the citizens should be asked to subscribe as well as the city.The Finance Committee's report rejecting the demand of N.Roy & Son, for a contract paying them $1,000 for removing dead animals from the

attorneys, which was asked for three weeks ago.Ald.Vallieres, seconded by Ald.Cleari- hue, then moved that Chief Legault be instructed to consult the city attorneys, and do what was necessary to stop the soliciting of fares on the streets.Ald, Nelson said the motion was right enough, but he thought the Police Committee should meet at once and instruct the chief of police to stop the agents from selling tickets on the public streets.Ald.Lavallee thought this wae equal td a vote of censure on the chief of police.He thought the by-laws covered the case and it was the chief\u2019s place to enforce them or, at least, make the attempt, without special instructions.The motion was finally adopted.by a vote of thirty to three, Aldermen Chaussé, Couture and Hebert voting in the nezative.A

to a test today.About ten o\u2019clock this morning several barges laden with grain drew up alongside.An \u2018hour later several ot the Commissioners arrived, when Senator Mackay intéésted himself in making # careful inspection of the building, re- eeiving the assurance that everything in and about the elevator was in perfect condition and ready to stand the severest test.Shortly before noon the word went out i that a hitch had taken place between the Steel Storage and levator Construction Company and the Harbor Commissioners over the question of who was to assume the responsibility during the testing of the elevator.lt was Jearned that the order had not been re- eeived officially, from the head office at Buffalo to make the test, and until guch authority was received nothing could be done in the way of filling the bins.Mr.Weber was expected in the city last night to superintend the work, but up to a late hour this afternoon he had not \u201carrived.It is pow expected that Mr.Weber will be here to-morrow, when he will immedistely order a test to be made.TWELTH OF JULY.Perth, Ont., July 12.\u2014A large number of Orangemen from the surrounding country arrived here in special

COL.GREGORY.CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE LATE COMMANDER OF THE SECOND DRAGOONS AND COLONEL -OTTER.Ottawa, July 12.\u2014Parliament was put in possession to-day of the full record of Lieut.-Col.Gregory s retirement from the command of the 2nd Dragoons, St.Catharines, aftér one year's \u2018extension of his term of command.His time was up this month in any case but Lieut.Loi.Gregory, at the Niggara camp pre ferred to apply for immediate relier from the command because of his dissatiafac- tion over the promotion of Mejor Glasgow, whose advancement he had never recommended.On Juné 15, Lieut.-Col.Gregory wrote from the Niagara camp' as follows to the district officer commanding his distriet: \u2014 *Lieut.-Col.Otter, .\u2018As a protest against the.system of political intrigwe that compels my superior officers to interfere with the efli- ciency and discipline of the regiment under my command, by promoting, without my approval, an inefficient officer in my regiment, while knowing and acknowledging such inefficiency and at the game time being aware of the fact that = 1 was trying to compel the officer re- prove his qualifications before 1 recommended him for promotion to the position of second in command, 1 hereby tender my resignation as commanding officer of the 2nd Dragoons and would further request that I be relieved of the command at once.\u2019 Col.Otter answered: \u2018I resent and deny the charge of political intrigue with relation to tis appointment of Major Glasgow as second in command of the 2nd Dragoons.I have already explained I consider him capable and consider in in the interest of the regiment that the appoimtment above referred to should be filled with the least possible delay and as Lieut.-Col.Gregory would not make the recommendation in the matter 1 felt justified, under the ecircum- stances in doing so without his recommendation.The officer that I reéom- mended was Major Glasgow, the semior major of the regiment, who was in possession of the necessary qualifications for the appointment.In this course I had the concurrence of the inspector, of cuvalry, with whom I consulted before taking definite action.When Lieut.-Col, Gregory\u2019s letter reached Ottawa that officer was prompt ly relieved in a memorandum to the general.Lord Aylmer, in a memo te the general officer commanding, remarked that Lieut.-Col.Gregory's letter was grossly insubordimate in tone, Whether his sentiments are true or false 1 feel that it would be better, as Lieut.Col.Gregory's regiment is now in camp at Niagara, and under his immediate command, that he should be suspended from his command, furnished with trans port requisitions and ordered to return to his home forthwith.\u2019 The adjutant.neral considered that the papers set orth fully enought {he apparent cause of Lieut.-Col.Gregory\u2019s insubordination.If further informatièn was desired by the minister it could be secured by a court of enquiry.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE WRONG GRIP.Mr.M.J.A.Blanchet came to Montreal yesterday from Kamouraska to rep- vesent the district of Kamouraska at the reunion of the Chamber of Notaries.When leaving the train at Point St.Charles he

congress at St.Louis has been tty much in evidence, but the Hon.i.Satterley is an authentic voice.; .Mr.Satterley is from San Diego, California.He has just returtied from the congress.He was seen to-day at the offices of the C.P.R.Mr.Satterley described the reception to the Hearst and Parker factions; the mingled applause and hissing of the name of Bryah, and tbe overwhelming enthusiasm when it was announced that Mr, Justice Parker had been chosen as the standard.bearer of the great Democratic party.The announcement that Parker stood solid on the gold platform, Mr.Satterley said, created the most intense feeling.There were those in the congress who were against any such pronouncement, but the faet that Mr.Parker preferred \u2018to let his views be known before the con- Tess came to \u2018a vote won him many Friends, The famous telegram was in the, nature of a bombshell, and, indeed, there was pice manoeuvring in the con- neetion.There were those who would have withheld it, fearing a disruption; on the other hand, there was a disposition to test the congress with the message.As a fact, Parker was acclaimed.Mr.Satterley said that the demonstration in favor of Parker was the most remarkable ever witnessed.Bryan, \u2018of tourse, was nowhere.The congress came out squarely on the gold platform, and Bryan and his friends felt that all was over.: .ce Mr.Hearst offered a loyal support to Mr.Parker, when he found how thé cos- gress went.He was, indeed, one of the first to offer his congratulations to Mr.Justice Parker, and his telegram was received with unbounded applause.According to Mr.Satterley, Mr.Parker did not personally quite meet the idea of the congress.That is to say, he was recognized as a strong candidate; he was hailed as a fitting man, full of learh- ing and dignity; but he was not generdlly own; he certainly was not known to he west.\"At the same time, he, fas so heartily endorsed by the east; hi\u201c#tood #0 strongly for what was clean and Wholesome in politics, that the congress early recognized that he was the candidate which the party must put forth.Again, aecording to Mr.Satterley, the silence of Mr.Parker was very strange.He had been asked again and again to speak, but he held his tongue, and the public wondered.Reticence was not usually the gift of the presidential eandidate.At the same time, this made him somewhat of a mystery, which may, upon the whole, have improved his chances.At any rate, Mr.Sutterley says the scenes weve historical.The great\u2019 hall demonstrations in favor of this'ozr that candidate lasted fully half an hour, Mr.Satterley comments upon the fact that grown men are but a larger\" sert of children.congress went wild! just as a number of school boys might grow wild.Masses of men threw up, their hats, took off their coats, ch | and yelled and etamped until they were worn out.And all for what ?For a name ?For a man whom not oné man in a hundred knew persanally.But this was the way the American people chose their President.It looked more like a free and easy than a solemn body en: gaged in the most important work Which could be well imagined, Of cénrse, there were serious men there; there were men of American reputation; there were millionnaires; there were men of literary the moment, there was a forgetfulness of dignity which was remarkable.At the same time, the recovery.members rallied; there were important issues discussed; and it was curious, according to Mr.Satterley, to note the feeling of.statesmanship in an assembly which was capable of howling itself hoarse like an elementary school let loose for holidays.SAYS HE IS AN EARL, CURIOUS CLAIM MADE BY A MAN WHO PESTERED A LAWYER.Under the name of James L.Forbes, a man who also calls himself the Earl of Seaforth, appeared beiore Mr.Recorder Poirier this morning on a charge laid by Mr.F.H.Markey, of the law firm of Smith, Markey & Montgomery.Mr.Markey explained to the Court that the accused had for several days been making himself a nuisance by persisting Ik making unwelcome and protracted visits to his office and occupying the lawyer's time, which he desired to ume to better advantage than discussing \u2018matters on which they differed very widely.\u2018The \u2018Earl, Mr.Markey said, persisted thet the latter had robbed him of millions of dollars and he was determined to recover his weaith.Mr.Markey, not being in possession of the missing millions, tried to persuade his visitor that his contention was a hullucination but not suceeeding, Corporal Picard was called to rémove the man to police headquarters.After hearing the story the Recorder remanded Mr.Forbes for examination by the physicians in regard to his sanity.Mr.Forbes was around Montreal about twelve years ago .and visited Mr.Markey, but the latterisuc- ceeded then in getting rid of him and he bas not seen him since until now.A GENEROUS EMPLOYER.Mr.John H.Patterson, president of the National Cash Register

\u2014There is a short poem about \u201cBringing home the cows.\u201d Please give it with the name of the author.Ans.\u2014The following, written by Kate Putnam Osgood, is probably the ome you allude to: Out of the clover and blue-eyed grass > He turhed them into the river-lans; One after another he let them pass, Then fastened thé meadow bars again.! Under tbe willows, and over the hill, He patiently followed their sober pace; The merry whistle for once was still, And something shadowed the sunny face.Only a boy! and his father had sald \u2018He never could let his youngest go; Two already were lying dead, Under the feet of the trampling foe.But after the evening work was done, And the frogs were loud in their meadow- swamp, Over his shoulder he flung his gun And stealthily followed the toot-path : damp.Across the clover, and through the wheat, With resolute heart and purpose grim, Though cold was the dew on his hurrying feet, And the blind bat's flitting startled him.\u201cThrice since then had the lanes been white, And the orchards sweet with apple-bloom; And now, when the cows came back at night, \u2018The feeblé father drove them home.For news had come to the lonely farm That three were lying where two bad Iain; ; And the old man\u2019s tremulous, palsied arm Could never lean on a son's again.The summer day grew cold and late, He went for the cows when the work was done; But down the ane, as he opened the g.te, He saw them coming one by one; Brindle, Ebony, Speckle and Bess, Shaking their horns in the evening wind; Cropping the buttereups ont of the grass\u2014 But who was it following close behind?Loosely swung In the idle air The empty sleeve of army blue; And worn and pale, from the crisping hair, Looked out a face that the father knew.For Southern prizons will sometimes yawn, Ard yield their dead unto life again: And the day that comes with a cloudy dawn In golden glory at last may wane.The great tears sprang to the meeting eyes: For the heart mist speak when the lips are dumb; And under the silent evening skies Together they followed the cattle home.A PRIZE WINNER.C.W.\u2014I shall expect to see in your vai- table paper the name of the person who won the $50 prize offered by the Delaware and Hudson Railway Company fot the most suitable name for a train on a part \u2018of their line, Ans.\u2014The prise was award- er to Mr.B.R.Wellington, of Troy, N.Y.vho first sugested the désignation 1he Northern New Yorker,\u201d the name accepted by the company.PLAINS OF ABRAHAM.Student.\u2014How did the Plains at Abraham come to be so called?In answering a simi lar question some time axe.Sir Jymes Le- mcine, of Quebec.said: \u2018The Plains of Abraham, sometimes known as the Heights of Abraham, a lofty plateau west of the city ot Quebec, were called after Abraham Martin dit 1'Ecossais, to whom they wcre granted, They orlgimally consisted of 382 acres, In two grants, ome of 12 acres In 1660, and the other of 30 acres in 1652.Abraham Martin's dwelling was situate on the north-eastern portion of bis domain, in fhe neighborhood of Coteau Ste.Genevieve.In time the whole plateau, extending from the city walls to Marchmont, was styled the Plains of Abraham.Maître Abraham Martin, dit l\u2019Ecossais, alias the Scotchman, appears to have been of Scotch descent.Ho is described as the (King's) pilot of the St.Lawrence; his name occurs in old documents as far back as 1621.QUOTATION.Inquirer.\u2014Where did the expression, 'A little bird told me\u2019 so-gnd-so, originate?Ans.\u2014Probably from Ecclesiastes x., 20, \u2018For a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and, that which hath wings shall.tell the matter.\u2019 AUTOBIOGRAPHY.Doubtful\u2014When one is to write & sketch of his life from boyhood, and forty years\u2019 ministry, and giving the genealogical lino of fivo generations, should he give the points in their lives where he first mentions them, or give the genealogy, and name the incidents lator in the book, in order of time as contemporaries?Ans.\u2014 There is no hard and fast rule for such a matter, but the latter course seems to have most to commend it.MEDICAL.DEAFNESS.M.Mel.asks if electrovibratory treatment coild do anything towards the cure of deafness of long standing.Ans.\u2014Thers has been an instrument devised on the plan of a stringed lastrument played upon by a ratchet wheel.By this, different tones can be produced which, when carried to the ear are supposed to set the various parts in motion; in fact, produces a kind of massage.It is only applicable to cases of deafness which are due to adhesions between the various bones of the middle ear.The method bas to a large extent fallen into disuse, not having come up to first ex pectations.My own opinion would only be tkely to be of any service in very early cases, and those that were not extreme.On the whole I bave not much faith in it.RUN DOWN, M.F.G.is a young woman troubled with indigestion and biliousness.She is in better health now, but has dark circles round the eyes, and some dark spots on the face.Ans.\u2014Dark rings under the eyes are often a sign of a run down sytem.As you improve they will disappear.1 should advise you\u2019 to get out of doors as much as possible.now that the weather is.fine, anc take gentle ' exercise dally.Night -nd morning douche the face, neck and shoulders with cold water.Gentle rubbing of the parts with a little sweet oil once dally will assist.Be carsful to have the boweis move daily.Your diet should be plain and easily assimilated, \u2019 18 that 1t| Ca CORRERCIAL RAIL AND CANAL RECBSPTS.G.T.R.Canal.Wheat, bush .o .\u2026 .22,082 130,276 Gorn, bush .ve \u2014\u2014 131,189 Pers, bush .683 \u2014 Odts, bush .1,146 17% Flour, brls .2,044 19,170 Eggs, cases .200 33 Butter, pkgs .« « .+ + © 184 \u2014 | Cheese, boxes .7,611 1,602 | Lard, pkgs .250 950 Meats, pkgs .52 \u2014_\u2014 Leather, rolls .6 \u2014 CATTLE MARKETS.East Buffalo, July 12.\u2014Cattle-Recelptr.76 head;

this would seem to suggest that receipts were being cleared very nicely, but there is no means by which the stocks held at the beginning of the season can be estimated, It is pretty safe to assume, however, that there are several thousand boxes warehoused in Montreal at the present time.Butter is steady at \u2018the present prices.There is pot much business recorded, but there are a few buyers at these prices.Prices are yet too high in the country to irdu-e business.There is a very strong market in hogs.The trade is fairly active and dealers look for high prices.GRAIN \u2014 Oats, 38c for No.2, in store here, No.3, 37e;

reception by the Liberals - of Toronto last night, nearly three hundred attending the banquet in his honor at the King Edward Hotel.The minister- spoke for an hour and a .Fielding began by a declaration that the Liberal party to-day does rot require to issue a prospectus, but a reference to the record of the government shows the best government Canada ever had.First of all Canada had enjoyed sound finance and prosperity.Her national character had not only been maintained, but had been strengthened.\u2018Lhe permission secured by British legislation enabling trustees to-invest in Canadian securities was a great testimonial to Canada.For three years before 1896 there had been deficits notwithstanding the hjgh rate of taxation.Those, the Consefvatives had propheäied, muet continue.But since 1897 there had been no deficit, always a surplus.t brought about by increased taxation, but in the face of reductions al] along the line.Surpluses from $1,700,000 to over $16,500,000, totalling over $58,000,000, were shown gradually increasing.The money had gone to useful purposes, which would otherwise have required an increase in the public\u2019 debt.Many capital expenditures were.required with the great development which had been going on in Canada during these years, and it was proper money should be spent freely.OPPOSITION CHARGES.The Opposition charged that these expenditures had been lavish.He maintained that wise.expenditure was economy, yet in the eight -years the public debt had not increased one cent.Kight years of sound finance and credit, eight years of low taxation, eight years without increasing the public debt, eight years of commercial éredit, eight years of success and prosperity, furnished a record orf which any party might, rightly appeal.He repeated Sir Wilfrid ur- jer's declaration in 1896, that after the Liberal government came into power po statistics would be necessary to prove rosperity.Tributes to Sir William Mulock's management of the Post-office, to the Hon.William Paterson, the Hon.H.R.Emmerson, who were present, and all the other ministers, formed a declaration by Mr.Fielding that the records of eight years departmental success was by itself enough to justify a return to po¥er.\u2018No man, said Mr.Fielding, has given a more intelligent and fauitless service as Minister of Customs than the Hon.William Paterson, a tribute which the merchants present cheered.Mr.Paterson was expected to share in anv credit coming to the Finance Minister for the successful budgets.His talented young friend, the Hon.Clifford Sifton, was also entitled to praise for his vigorous immigration policy.The C.P.R.he referred \u20180 as that railway which had fulfilled the prophecies of its supporters and disappointed the fears of its opponents.The safe, steady, and gradual .development of the West was the.result of the wise expenditure of Mr.Sifton.TARIFF POLICY._ .Eight years of a sound tariff policy was shown by the fact that extremists were dissatisfied.This was not a theoretic question.While all here tmight be free traders, ti nations of the world had not adopted this policy.It was not enough to know tlre rules of the game, but to know how your opponent played it.It is the tariff war we have most to fear in the future, and if others will not treat us fairly then it is our duty, in self-defence, to hit back.High tariffs do not make prosperity, as shown by the conditions in the United States.lo adopt their tariff would not mean more success for us, We must adopt a Canadian, not a United States policy.The eneral interest pf the consumer must e consulted.He will be satisfied with a moderate tariff, Joe North-West development demands that the peopie there must also be considered and made content.We want harmony.They demanded a low tariff and would becomg a vigorous party in opposition to any advance.We want stability.Manufacturers cannot afford to watch constant changes in the tariff.They would rather bear sthe ills they have than fly to others that they know not of.PREFERENTIAL TARIFF, + Canada bad led the way in some of the boldest tariff proposals of the nineteenth and twentieth century.For example, preferential trade, the German surtax, and the provisions against dump- \u2018ing.Had Canada waited for a quid pro quo in the preferential tariff there ould have been no\u2019 such tariff yet.Materially and sentimentally the preferential tariff was a magnifieent tning for Canada.The action of Canada towards the West Indies had also resulted in good.Now New Zealand and South Africa had followed Canada\u2019s step, and the general development of the preferential idea following Canada\u2019s step had been so strong that Mr.Chamberlain had taken it up.If the Opposition policy of watching for a quid pro quo had been adopted no such step could have been taken by Mr.Chamberlain.The German surtax had diverted a large share of trade to the West Indies.THE DUMPING CLAUSE.Mr.Fielding repeated his budget speech.as regards the dumping clauses, emphasizing the point that there was no guarantee that niter Canadian industries were closed the United States manufacturers would continue to sell their goods at Constipation Headache, billousness, hearth thés gvstion, and al Liver ills are cured by Hood\u2019s Pills Minister of Finance Discusses | Nor was

rings from the fact that the husband L ls the purse strings\u2014\u2019 * Degradation !\u201d John lowered his paper Hosuily * Priscilla, what on earth are u talking about ?And as to holding \u201ce purse, don't I give you the most or -1y salary, leaving you to spend it as «su think best ¥\u2019 \"Yes, that\u2019s just it,\u201d Priscilla retorted, sta spirit \u2018You give it me, you n't pay me, you don\u2019t recognize that ny staying here and taking care of your house, 1 am just as truly a wage-earner rs you are.No, John; dear,\u2019 she con- «inued more gently, \u2018 you ave a generous nusband, but a wife shouldn\u2019t be dependent on her husband's generosity, and 1% 185 my Huty,\u201d here Priscilla uncon- rciously fell into an impressive tone obviously borrowed from Mrs.Octavia Mmythe, \u2018if but for the sake of wives who are less fortunate than I.to make my protest against a system that is wTong in every respect.\u2019 * Ah, said John, dubiously.He had known Priscilla from her babyhood, and he knew what an alarming way she had oi endeavoring \u2018to put into practice the theories which, with her native enthusiasm, she was always adopting.\u2018Oh,\u2019 Priscilla said in a rapt way, \u201cif you could have heard the picture Mrs.Octavia Smythe drew of the time of freedom and equality when husband and wife shall go forth in the morning together, to take an equal share in the world\u2019s work, to be equally rewarded, and\u2014yes, John,\u2019 she added, noting his bewildered stare, \u2018that is the only solution.Every woman should have a trade or profession, and follow it, rgarried or single; and as for the home, that can be much better taken care of by expert hired labor.\u2019 : \u2018Well, dear, I must leave,\u201d said John.\u2018I'm late this morning; but try any scheme you like.I know you won\u2019t be happy unless you do,\u201d and with a hasty kiss he was gone.He returned that eveming at the usual hour, but Priscilla was not at the door to meet him; in.fact, she was not in the house at all.The rooms were dark, and down stairs the cook was languidly struggling with the dinner, which obviously suffered for lack of Priscilla\u2019s supervision.John rescued the beefsteak from burning and summoned the maid, who was talking with the grocer\u2019s boy at the basement door, to light the lamps.By that time Priscilla appeared.\u2018She did not wear that bright and happy air with Rip she commonly returned Tom a Ww.a matinee, or even from a hopping \u201cbout.- She looked tired, draggled, and cross.At first she was reticen{ respecting her day, but under the soothing influence of after-dinner coffee she unbeént, and admitted that she had been out in search of employment.\u2018You know, I studied stenography once,\u2019 she said; \u2018that time papa thonght he was going to fail; so I've decided to take an office position.And you will eee, John, what a new\u2014er\u2014dignity it will lend our union when I become a wage-earner like yourself.\u2019 \u201cIt has seemed to be a bappy union, eaid Jobn, meekly.\u2018But proceed, Priscilla.I didn\u2019t suppose,\u201d she confessed, sighing gently, \u2018that it would be quite #0 hard to find a position.At one place where 1 went to answer an advertise- ment there were twenty women waiting\u2019 in line, And, John, how different men teem when one meets them in a business way.So much less deferential.\u2019 But Priscilla was not one to give up £isily, and for six days she kept up the search untiringly.At the end of that time she came home one night Tadiant with the news that she had found work, .\u201cIve in an office,\u201d she said vaguely; the business is.something in drags.1t's quite respectable, and my employers have very good manners.They can only give me wx dollars a week at first.\u2019 5e becan work on Monday.For a vesk her spirit remained undaunted, ven cneerful.She got out of bed at x; cnfoihly hour every morning\u2014Pris- L 4.had never in her life risen be- fre el 1nd bore with apparent calmness the breathless trip downtown, hustled by the horde of her fellow breadwinners.Over her experience at the office she drew a veil.e home began to wear an unkempt look, and three times they returned to find the furnace fire out.Priscilla\u2019s pet dog was asphyxiated by escaping gas, left turned on by a careless maid, and both husband and wife got violent indigestion from the quality of the dinners served up to \u2018I tnem.Still, Priscilla remained serene vntil Saturday afternoon.They both came home early that day, and when they were settled down in the library John suggested that it would be a good time tn go over the accounts._Accounts ?said Priscilla, in surprise.We've been married mare than three \"ews, and vou never troubled about the accounts before.\u2019 \u201cThat is true,\u201d said John, \u2018but you \u2018ourself, my dear, have pointed out un- Pr what a wrong and slipshod system \u201ceve been living, and have put our rela- ons upon a more businesslike basis.that.is coming, We are now partners in the true sense; and every good fem knows, or ought to know, each day now it stands.\u2019 Priscilla never forgot the hour that followed.She had been too much engaged to keep accounts that week, but the bills were in, apd for some mysterious reason they were twice as large as they had ever been before.Yet, as John delicately intimated, their table had not been anymoce lavish-\u2014quite the contrary;

Such every Christian man and woman should be.Reader, have you been the means of leading one soul to Jesus?We are saved to be saviours.It is the duty of every Christian to maks Jesus known to others.To witness to Him, speak of Him, as did Anna in Lu.ii., 38, and the man in Lu.viii, 38, 390.Soul-saving is an individual work.John sent his dis ciples to Jesus.Those who went spake to others.A Samaritan woman believing in Jesus became the frst city missionary.(Jno.iv.) Nicodemus spake of Jesus.(Jno.vii, 50, 51.) A man and his wife invited a man to their home and taught him the way of God more \u2018perfectly.(Acts xviii,, 24-28.) It might be a good thing if an Aquila and Priscilla would do the same with some modern preacher.One night three believing women spent the whole night in special prayer for a revival.The next day the preacher was amazed at the whole congregation being moved by the Spirit of od, resulting in the salvation of many souls.Sitting in a pew, once or twice a week to hear a sermon is not witnessing for Jesus.The early disciples continued daily in the open air and in private houses to tell the good news about Jesus, (Acts v., 42.) We are to some extent responsible for the souls of evil doers.God says in Eze.iui.that those who warn not the wicked shall be held responsible for their blood.We are to warn them, pray for them, and point them to the Lamb of God, the Saviour of all men.but specially of those that believe.A negro woman in New York was the means of saving over eighty souls by prayer.Oh, Christians, pray for the unconverted and tell them nf Jesus.DAILY TEXT.July 12.The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.\u2014Ps.xxxiv., 2.READING STEEPED IN PRAYER.The reading of the Bible is as neces- rary as the feeling of an engine with coal, or the imparting of strength to an invalid by food.And this reading must be steeped in the spirit of prayer.You TORY Organ, tite Theory of wspectus.: WOOD AND OOAL FOR EVERYBODY, By.load: \u2014Cut Slabs, $1.50: Kin Hadinood Blocks, stave length, $2.50: eut and split, $3.50; Blocks Bo.The best Anthracite Bgresned (Coal.All kinds of Peed at Lowest Market prices.Apply W.LAMARRE & CO.243 Atwater Ave., near St.James, St.Henri.- TEL.MouxT 609 1 \u201ced ut PUBLIC AUCTION OF INDIAN LANDS There will be offered for sale by public auction, subject to a reserved bld at the Village of St.Ambroise, in the County of Quebec, In the Province of Quebec, on WEDNESDAY, the third day of August, 1904, at twelve \u201co'clock noon, the Rocmont Indian Reserve, situate in the Township of Rocmont, in the County of Portneuf, Province aforesaid, containing 9,600 acres, be the same more or less.TERMS OF SALE:\u2014Cash, or one-quarter carh and the balance in three equal an- pual instalments with interest at six percent.Any information regarding the lands in question may be obtained on application to the undersigned.The unauthorized insertion of this ad- vertisemeht will not be paid for.J.D.McLEAN, Secretary.Department of Indian Affairs, Ottawa, 30th June, 1904, = = LEADING SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES SABREVOIS COLLEGE, MONTRE A 1;, Residential and Day Schoo! for Boys and Girls.Practical Education in French and English.Prepares for University.Terms moderate: A limited number of English pupils received into the residence.Apply to REV.\u2018D.LARIVIBRE, B.A., Principal, F 121 Chatham street, Montreal.Ashbury College, ARGYLE AVE.OTTAWA, Ont, A Resident and Day School for Boys.HEADMASTIR \u2014 The REV.GEO.P.WOOLWÉOMBE, B.A., (Oxon.).TwenÿŸ, boargers and fifty day boys received.jorodgh preparation for University matriculation and Royal Military College: to which the School has sent a large number of Yuptis during past few years.Special facilities for little boys.Thorough course Ap «physion! culture snd gymnastics.For calendar, apply the Headmaster.Next .term comménces Sept.14.ST.NARGARET'S COLELEG YF, TORONTO.A High Class Residential and Day Schoo! for Girls.Modern equipment.Specialists of European training and of the highest Academie and Professional standing in every department of work.A limited number received into the Residence.For Prospectus apply to GEORGE DICKSON, M.A., Direetor, (Late Principal Upper Canada College, Torono) Mrs.CEORGE DICKSON, Lady Principal.VALDES GLEE Prepares for the University, and better\u2014 Prepares for Life.COURSES\u2014Academic, Music (Canadian Consertatory).Art, Etocution, Physical Culture, Domestic Science, Stenography, &o., &c.SUPERIOR HOME LIFE.WRITE FOR CALENDAR.Mgrs.J.GRANT NEEDHAM, .Lady Principal.REV.W, D.ARMSTRONG, MA, D.D., cL.President ; \u2014\u2014\u2014 must never let your work for Christ so engross Jou as to rob you of those quiet hours when he needs you to be alone with him, that he may declare to you his Father's name, and reveal himselt, and charge you with the spiritual forces stored up in him.It will be well for you to keep-yourself free from attractive avenues of service, to be fresh for these stil hours.They are more dear to him, and more needful to you than all your service.\u2018In eating-time and harvest thou shalt rest.\u201d One hour spent in work after prolonged fellowship with Christ will pay better than twelve hours spent in unbroken toils.Christ cares less for the amount of work done than for its: quality.He is more anxious about\u2019 the worker than the work.Help me to remember this, thou Lord of the harvest, and often may I leave even the whitening felds that in thee I may find rest and strength.And if I seem to tarry, 1 pray thee send some loving reminder to call me t6 thy side, as thou didst to Mary be the hand of ber sister Harawsod Maple Blocks, $3.00; Tamarac es of Bituminous and P.E.RUEL, HOUSE & SICN Painter Decorator, 319 ST.LAWRENCE STREET 25 Years\u2019 Experience, Bell Tel East 1682.DO YOU WANT A New: Monse Eullt or your OL!
