instructive lecture was given at the rooms of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers on Thursday night, and was largely attended by the leading members of the engineering profession in Montreal, Mr.J.S.Armstrong, C.E., was the lecturer, and during the course of his talk he explained plans illustrative of the possibilities of St.John, N.B., as an ocean port.He also showed how the interior of New Brunswick could be opened up to ocean traffic, \u2018Ite harbor ot St.John, he said, has hills overhanging pert-of the.ahorez \u2018on- to -which tué railway tracks coulu be run, and grain or ¢oal could be shot directly from the cars to the holds of ocean liners and coal ves- sels\u2014being cleaned and weighed in pass- age\u2014or passed into storage bins on its way to the vessels without elevating.Other lines of raiiway could follow the wharves on either bank, giving access to dock and storage areas along the extended ghore line, and wide fis:ids were available for yarding cattle just behind the chipping point, wherein they could recuperate after a long railway journey.Mr.Armstrong is strongly of the opinion that Canada needa a free port.St.John and Vancouver, he thought, were eminently situated for the location of such ports.Mr.Roy, representing the Chambre de Commerce, said it gave him great pleasure to see year by year the Dominion Government was allowing the Montreal Harbor Board more money, and he felt that there was a bright future in store for Montreal, .Mr.F.W.Cowie, chief engineer of the harbor works, speaking of Canada\u2019s winter shipping trade, remarked that Boston had as good facilities as Montreal, whilst 8t.John had practically none.What Cnada wanted was a great winter port to hold the trade done by the great summer port of Montreal, and he thought they would get that if they had patience.Mr.J.L.Jamieson, Mr.Henry, and Mr.Ewing also spoke.Mr.R.S.Lee, C.E., occupied the chair: _\u2014 rt GIBSON INDIANS MR.NAPOLEON COMMANDANT REELECTED

growers in convention here have adopted a memorial to Congress asaing for the repeal of the Chinese exclusion act.The memorial declares that this ie the only method of getting labor for orchards and vineyards as well as for market gardens and sugarbeet farms.It says that exclusion has driven the Chinese from farms into cities where they get better wages as cooks and has brought thousands of Japanese in who are greatly inferior to the Chinese as workers.It says that opposition to Asiatic labor is found mainly in cities and is due to labor agitators, themselves of alien blood, and that y and their fellows refuse to do at any price work now done by Asiatics.The memorial ends with the statement that there is no evidence that the western states have ever suffered conomic loss from the presence of Chinese.THE MONTREAL THE HACKMAN'S' WINTER Coming of Snow Means Mere Expense and Less Money, So \u2018Cabby\u2019 Saves all © Summer.CONSUMPTIVE, GIVEN UP BY DOCTORS, WAS CURED BY COURSE OF CAB DRIVING.When the sleighs are dashing past wl.h their bells ringing merrily, and the entertainment season 1s in ful: swing, 1t is natural to imagine that the hackmen reap .a harvest.Yet nothing is further from the reality\u2014summer is harvest time with \u2018the cab-driver, winter is the to save.: Early in October the average Montreal hackmen begs to look anxious.lt is time to think about winter prepar- | ations, and he reckons up his summer earnings, and inspects his winter outfit ! to see what he ought to purchase, and how much he can afford to pay.Re-shoeing and sharpening make October and November the \u2018blackemith\u2019s harvest,\u2019 but the hackman has other and greater expenses to think about.His fur robes, carefully laid by with camphor balls to keep the moths off, must be.inspected, repaired and trimmed if necessary, and, if by any chance the moths not look smart enough to do duty for another winter, a complete mew outfit may be necessary.This is no light matter, for the set of three musk-ox robes carried by the average hackman costs from $250 to $350, and if he cannot put down cash he may have te pay more.Luckily a good eet of robes lasts many years, but the hack- men themselves reclize the value of smartness, and will ofter purchase a new outfit, mcrely to keep vp sppearances.They are proud of the repu:»ftion Montreal has gained of having the best fitted cabs and the best dressed drivers on the continent.The change from a four-wheeler to a sleigh costs money also.Even if the old sleigh can still do dif:y it wants freshening up at the carriage maker's, and if it is worn out a new one must be purchased at a cost of $300.TRYING TO THE TEMPER.; No time of the year is so trying to the hackman\u2019s terhper as the present, when just sufficient snow has fallen to make sleigh driving practicable, but uncomfortable.He is in a dilemma whether to stick to his four-wheeler, or to bring out the sleigh, and every time he changes \u2014and that may happen twice a day\u2014it costs him 50 cerf's or 75 cents, which he must pay to the livery keeper wl stores hig vehicles for him.As mo of the hackmen of Montreal own thot own Tigs, the money comes directly out of their pockets, and even 75 cents is a loss to be reckoned with on a \u2018winter\u2019s THE \u2018SCRATCHES.\u2019 + If it were not for the tramway company's practice of throwing a mixture of salt and sand on the roads to melt the snow.sleigh-driving might be much more comfortable to the passengers, and less costly to \u2018the driver.As one experienced old hackman said: \u2018It is a pleasure to drive along Sherbrooke street, but when you come down to the city and have to bump across the tram lines it is not only uncomfortable, but it\u2019s hard on Îthe horses and hard on the sleigh, and you're thinking all the time of the chance that your horse will get the \u201cscratches.\u201d \u2019 \u2018Scratches,\u2019 he explained, is a disease caused by the freezing mixtfire thrown on the car lines.It was unknown till a few years ago, but the cases are growing in number every winter.When a horse is affected, its leg below the knee swells to three or four times its normal size, and becomes extremely obnoxious.The horse has to be laid off work for about six weeks, and as a result, all the work has to be done by I'he other horse \u2014for every hackman owns two.The strain of the winter\u2019s work is too great for a single horee, and for that reason, when one is affected bv the \u2018scratches\u2019 the driver rune a risk of losing both.\u2014 The

getting busines, so that the entertain: ment season does not mean so much to them as might be supposed.Like other people, they would rather be in bed at that hour, and take their chance of getting a sufficient number of fares the fo! lowing day to make up the Joss.\u2018This leaves the early morning business to a comparatively small number of cabmen, but they are always numerous enough tor the calls made on them.CAB-DRIVING FOR CONSUMPTIVES.\u2018 Though colds, earaches, and sometimes pneumonia have to be looked for by the ackman on night duty, the occupation as à whole is a healthy one, and Mr.W.Walker, secretary of the M.ntreal Hack- man's Protective As-oc ation, t ll a representative of the \u2018Witness\u2019 last evening that fe actually knew of a cabman dmv- ing the streets in all weathers to-day who six years ago was given up by several doctors as an incuran\u2019e consump:ive.He was-then little more than a lad, but thg doctors thought he had at the most only a few months to live.All they could do for him was to recommend fresh air, so he sought emplovment jo: hours a day as a hack-driver.He improved in ivealin sQ List.vane he oo bought him a rig, and_e:t him up tor himself.To-day he is one of the hardiest cab-drivers in the city, and there 19 not a tubercular microbe in bis system.THE HACKMAN\u2019S WARDROBE.Every hackman who owns his own rig must be somewhat of a financier.To begin with, his outfit costs him $1,600 to $1,700, and out of his very modest earnings he must be prepared at any time to meet the cost of a new rig, a new horse, or a new set of robes, as well as to spend $200 or $250 a year on clothing.No other class of worker earning anything like the same income, Mr.Walker beheves, possesses 80 extensive a wardrobe ae the Montreal hackman, Leaving out of the question the robes for his sleigh, he must be provided with good clothes tor all kinds of weather, for the public hke not only a smart sleigh, but a smart- looking driver, and will alway?bire his rig in preference to another.For spring, summer and fall he must have complete changes of clothing.He must possess a gocd cloth overcoat, a rubber coat, and a heavy coon coat for winter, and in summer time he must wear at least two clean collars a day, which brings up his laundry bill NOT TIPS, BUT \u2018CONTRIBUTIONS, Yet in spite of all these expenses, the legal tariff is lower in Montreal than in any other city in America, so low, indeed, says Mr.Walker, that nobody but the mean man pays it, for every Mont- realer knows that the cabman cannot keep up the style expected of him on his legal fare.A moderately generous fare will give 50 cents for a drive from Bonaventure station to Place Viger station, which occupies slightly under a quarter of an hour, and should thus legally only cost a quarter.Ihe extra money the cabman does not regard in the light of a tip, but as a contribution to his ex- pences, made by a publicspirited citizen, who is jealous of his city\u2019s reputation of having the best cab service on the continent, and who feels a justifiable pride In having paid his share to make and keep it so.FLETCHER\u2019S FIELD CASE.Argument in the

18 based on the measurement of the land occupied by the club, which, it is repre- se.{.ed, is extensive.The Council granted a reduction of $151.- An offer of $750 was received from Mr.Dubreuil for the lot owned by the town at the corner of Bloomfield and Quebec streete, but it was not accepted, the figure being considered too low.This is one of the sixteen lots owned by {che corporation on Quebec

the man who sent the samples, and Professor Knight put the phial away.marking it Northern Maine\u2014Aroostook county, and the man lost a fortune.\u201cProf.Knight recalls that with the bottle the man sent a letter in which he stated he had found the pebbles on the bottom of a stream, and that there were tons and tons of them there.He thought they must be of value because they were much heavier and of different color than the other pebbles.\u2018When he marked the bottle, the professor put it away and never again thought of it for years.Years after- warde, probably five or six, he was going through some old pamphlets, books an other things.which he had taken from the station with him, and came upon this small bottle labelled \u2018Northern Maine\u2014 Aroostook county.\u2019 \u2018Probably he would not have thought anything about it but for the fact t at he had just been analyzing some samples of tin, and noticed the similarity hich the small pebbles bore to it.Of course.he remembered all the details of the bottle i station and the man failing to send a fee to pay for its Vincent or Paul, used to exhibit to visitors calling upon him at Lorette, a phial containing a small quantity of quicksilver, which he claimed had been acer dentally found in the neighborhood of Lake Trois Saumons by the squaw of one of the members of the tribe, who was out hunting or fishing in that locality.As the story went, this womäa went down ome very hot day to the banks of that or some other lake in the neighborhood, to draw water, when she noticed a strange silvery looking seub- stance oozing from a rock on fthe shore.Although ite elugiveess astonished her, she managed to Collect a small quantity of it in a bottle, which she preserved and gave to the chief on her r&turn to Lorette.Doubt has been cast upon the veracity of this etory by the assertion that quicksilver in the fluid state 1s seldom or never discovered, but this is walt apparently the case, as there are rec- cords to show that under certain conditions of exposure and great heat cinnabar may be transformed by the natural process into quicksilver.However, that may be ,the one thing certain 1s that the spot where the Indian woman made, or claimed to have made the discovery, has never since been located, although it has been diligently and repeatedly sought.The woman herself was taken back to the locality years afterward, when the importance of her find was fully realized, but her memory had so failed and so many changes had taken place in the interval, that she entirely failed to recognize and point out the spot, so \u2018that the quickeilver discovery must also be placed in the category of lost mines.rer MEASUREMENTS OF A maueB, WHY THOSE BOUGHT FOR BRITISH ARMY MUST MEET

ia, thev contained tin which had been washed dewn from some deposit of oxide of tin over which the stream flowed.When this occurs, the oxide is washed off by the action of the water, and what is left is known as stream tin.The fact that the man who sent the samples said that there were tons of the pebbles indicates to the mind of Prof.Knight that the deposit from which thev came is a very large one.\u2018\\When he made the discovery, Prof.Knight realized that could it be located the deposit was of great commercial value.THe at pre, sought to find jt; the quest was hopeless.The explanation of Professor Knight's failure to locate the last mine of Aroos- took.Maine.is easy.It was never there, but there is good reason to believe, on this side of the border, on one of the back settlement of Dorchester or Beauce County.The writer remembers sezing over forty years ago, in the possession of the then Irish settle © there a-.quantity of pebbles of this very nature, the un- vual weieht of which comparatively with their ize attracted his attention.On inqurv, he learned that they had been brought howe by one of the grown up but ther absent sons of the family, who rould not say just from where, but they thought from some point in the neigh- borhno.and.as the writer neither knew the value of such matemals, nor took êny \u2018n'erest in the subject at the time, he did uot press his inquiries further, and th matter dropped.Nor would he recall © now.but for the story from Northern Maine.to wbich this young man not long afterwards removed with the rest of the family.and where he married, settled down and resided until a few Years ago.when he died.It seems not at all unlikely that hie family carried some 0! the :trange pebbles from their old home in this province to their new On: in Maine, and that the man who sent them ta Professor Knight was iden- teal with the grown up son refererd to.However that may be, it might be worth while jov explorers and prospectors, as well as re-idents of the region along the border hetwren this province and Maine to keep a sharp lookout for the lost tin mine.,.There 13 every reason to believe that sn will he also located some day in the northern hinterland of this province be- Yond the height of land.The late Mr.Richardson.who was the late Sir WIi- jam Logan's ablest associate in the carly days of the geologiral sntvey, who was tes u

for it, another the carriage, and the balance will carry ammuniticn.It is not for the looks of things that the British now demand a mule with a sixty-one inch chest measurement, but because the Britisher mever overlooks a bet.He set out fo carry \u2018his mountain guns on Missouri mules and he found, after his experience with tens of thousands of them during the Boer War, that the best mule born for Tommy Atkins\u2019s job is a short coupled mule from fifteen to fifteen and one-half hands high and sixty-one inches wround the girth.\u2018Harness was made by the trainload for this sized animal, and that explains why the officer now in Kansas is so particular as to the girth measurement.The harness for slinging the parts of à machine gun consists of léather and steel or brass parts.Our mule packers, who get seventy-five dollars a month in our own army, know the advantage of having a mule fit the pack or the pack fit the mule.When he gets both he is a happy transportation

courts.- When last week \u2018quack\u2019 bad its turn, Sir Edward Clarke, who was probably quoting a dictionary, defined this word as \u2018a boastful pretender to medical skill\u2019 \u2018Quack\u2019 is undoubt- «diy derived by suggestion from the guacking of a duck; the quack doctor hase always substituted volubility for knowledge.\u2018Quacker\u2019 and \u2018quacking cheat\u2019 \u2018were sixteenth century words.\u2018Quack\u2019 in its present sense is certainly as old as 1696, when it was included in the carliest of our slang dictionaries.The original word was \u2018quacksalver,\u201d a travelling empiric who quacked about bis salves, and, according to Henley and Far- wer, the dramatist Wycherly first shortened this word to \u2018quack.The full term, quack doctor, is found at\"'least as early as 1710, when these words were used as a title to the Karl of Rochester's \u2018mountebank speech\u2019 an Tower Hill.This witty and profligate nobleman (be is always called witty and profligate) took it into his head to disappear from his friends and appear te the mob on Tower Hill as a quack doctor.The speech he made on that oc casion bas been preserved, and it shows that quack oratory has gained nothing since.It is pot all printable in these polite pages, but the following passage will show its character: \u2018The cures-I have done are as incredible as innumerable.I cured Prester John\u2019s godmother of a stupendous dolor: in her os sacrum, which had like to cost the good lady the perdition of her huckle bone.I cur\u2019d the Empress of Boolmapo

presented me with 6,000 Hungarian ducats and a Turkish cymeter.Verbum sat sipienti.No cure, no money.\u2019 I doubt very much whether Sir Edward Clarke was right in saying that the word \u2018quack\u2019 was revived by Garlyle after it had died out.So useful a word i8 not likely to have been dropped, though in Carlyle\u2019s vocabulary of denunciation It certainly took on a new importanee.It wae from a court of law, by the way, that Carlyle obtained the word \u2018gig,\u2019 d of emug r ta- bility.The trial of Thurtell at Hert- ford Assizes for the murder of My.\\ Weare

other far- Mer lives within fifty miles of bim.There are not twenty European, farmers in the whole of Northwest Rhodesia, a country four times as large as the State of New York.Koch is a pioneer.He likes the soil and the climate and is there to stay.His farm is as near the equator #s the north part of Central America, but it \u2018stands 4,000 feet above the sea and the \u2018heat is less oppressive than in many more southern regions.A few weeks ago Koch talked to a convention of farmers in Southern Rhodesia.They were interested in his story, for he is the first man competent to give valuable testimony on the farming conditions beyond the Zambesi.He told them he fod settled on the surveyed line of the pe to Cairo Railway, for he knew he tauld sell his produce when the railroad reached him.Taking in a wagon and a few head of live stock he roamed northward, following the stakes of the surveyors, till he reached a region that exactly suited him.There he built a little shack and began \u2018to use the plough agd other farming implements he had bgought in his wagon.Koch says that the best plough land in the colony is a rich, deep black loam, found in the valleys and in patches of from 100 to 2,000 acres all through the country.It grows the finest corn he ever saw.Then a gray sandy loam is well adapted for the cultivation of tobacco, cotton and potatoes.All crops with proper cultivation grow splendidly.Garden truck can be raised the year round, and he is raising wheat in winter with success.A third kind of soil is suitable only for pasture.Grass grows in abundance, cattle keep in good conditiok the year round and the climate at that high altitude is mild and pleasant.: Koch\u2019s faith has been justified.The Cape to Cairo Railway has been built 108 miles beyond his door.The little station of Kalomo has sprung up near hig farm.He has a market for all he cay raise.He pays native laborers from $1.25 to $2.80 a month, and thinks his men com- pave favorably with black labor in Cape Colony.He has no doubt, now that railroad has been completed to the Broder Hill copper mines, that more farmers ll come into the region.\u2014New You SA \u2019 + CL

character ever attempted in American | politics.The redistricting of to-day 1s equitable and sincere as compared therewith.There is not a body of politi clans extant that would have the nerve to even suggest the proposition which became a law in those days.* Nathan Hale, one of the editors of the Boston \u2018Weekly Messenger, published a map exhibiting the two Essex districts in the edition of his paper of March 6 and the paper stated at that time ; \u201cThe county of Issex bas been divided into two districts .to which the ingenious carvers have been unwilling to assign names.The district of which the extremes are Salifbury, on the north side of the Merrimack River, and Chelsea .may be preperly called by the name which children give to a letter in the alphabet, \u2018Crooked 3.or one district may be denominated concave and the other convex, as one of them fits into the other very much as the half of a small egg may be put into haf the shell of a larger egg.\u201d The map was displayed by J, G.Cogswell, afterwards librarian of the Astor Library, at a dinner at Colonel Thorndike's house in Summer street.Here it was examined and discussed and some one remarked that the outer district but needed wings to resemble a prehistoric monster.The suggestion was at once acted upon by the artist Elkanah 'Tis- dale.Some one called for a name for the figure, and a guest proposed the term salamander.Another guest, thought to be Mr.Alsop.quickly protested, and suggested that as Governor Gerry had signed the bill and permitted it to become a law it should be named after him\u2014hence the word gerrymander.\u2019 This version differs widely from the stéry of the coining of the word as told by John Fiske in \u2018Civil Government in.the United States\u201d Mr.Fiske\u2019's account, which is drawn from \u2018Winsor\u2019s Memorial History of Boston.\u2019 runs thus: * In 1812, while Gerry wuo\\*Tovernor the State, the Rad @fglature redistributed the districts 8 wise that the shapes of the twwns lorming a single district in Essex county gave to the distri¢t a somewhat dragonlike contour.This was indicated upon a map ; of Massachusetts which Benjamin Rus : sell, an ardent Federalist and editor of i the Sentinel,\u201d hung up over the desk of his office.The celebrated painter, Gilbert Stuart coming into the office one day and observing the uncouth figure.| added with a pencil a head, wings and claws and exclaimed \u201cThat will do for a salamander!\u201d \u201cBetter say (rerry- mander!\u201d growled the editor; and the outlandish name, thus duly coihed, soon came into general currency.\u2019 KEEP YOUR TEMPER THE MICROBE OF ANGER IS A FOE TO LONGEVITY.(From the Boston \u2018Journal.\u2019) Dr.Maurice de Fleury, a distinguished Frenchman, has just written a short scientific treatise in which he advances the interesting theory that every time we become angry our vitality shrinks so much.In proportion to every outburst of anger and even the most artfully suppressed signs of bad temper our vitality becomes smaller and smaller until finally nothing is left.Then we die, paying the penalty which, Dr.Fleury declares, every bad-tempered person pays long befdre he otherwise would.The moral of this French doctor's trea tise, of course, is that we should never allow \\ourselves to become angry if we value our health and life.His theory ls supported to a certain extent by the recent declaration of another scientist that the microbe of anger had been found and that it was a very dangerous and poisonous little animal.The microbe was discqvered during a micro scopic examination of two drops of blood taken at separate times from the arm of a man; one while he was in a calm, nofmal condition and the other after he had heen goaded into a fit of ungov- ernabie fury.The tiny microbe of anger was found to remain dormant under ordinary conditions and to attack \u2018the blood cells savagely under others.MISPRINT BIBLES.The Bible has suffered from misprints, and it is generally believed that a guinea 1s offered to any one who can find one in the Authorized Version.Here are some more instances: The \u2018Unrighteous\u2019 Bible\u2014from the misprint.the \u2018unrght- eous\u2019 shall inherit the Kingdom.The \u2018Placemakers\u2019\u2019 Bible\u2014blessed are the \u2018placemakers\u2019 (that is, peacemakers).The \u2018Printers\u2019 \u2019 Bible\u2014the \u2018printers\u2019 (for princes) have persecuted me.(A subtle touch, this!)

diplomatie corps ou tie subject and international rat congresses and an international anti-rat league may result.There has been a great dual où agité tion on the rat plague question since the discovery that rats are mainly 1netrumen- .tal in spreading the bubonic plague.Lute- ly hygienists have held them responsrbie for propagating other discases and finally cconomists have taken to figuring up what their cost in damages to the coud: tries of Christendom is.A Danish statistician, for instance, es\u201d timates that they destroy 10,000,000 crowns, or about $2,000,000, worth ot property annually in even so small à country as Denmark.Another authority ventures the opinion that their ycarly cost to the world, Independent ot dis\" vase, Is at least $100,000.000.Local efforts have been made to eup- press the plague, but, as in the case vs the mosquito, partial measures are 1b- effectual.The rate migrate to a greater or less degree, both by sea and land, and whenever they come they multiply with amazing rapidity.It is stated that one pair will produce as many as echt hundred rats in their lives, at the rate of fifty or so a year.The plan now outlined is to arouse universal interest in the warfare by the proposed international congress.All the nations taking part officially would be expected to 1n- stitute active ineasures through their quarantine and health officials.Property owners are to be urged or even compelled under penalty to exter: minate rats on their premises.and muny cipalitics are to hunt them in sewers and along the waterfront.A bounty.is suggested, may be offered for slaughter in the rural districts.Further to check their importation irom one coun trv into another some system of quar antine for ships, perhaps with penalties for rat infected ones, is proposed.the ort authorities in large harbors supply ing fumagation apparatus to drive them out of the recesses of the ship in whic, they find shelter.Denmark is said to be very much

since all these things have to be carried anyhow, somehow.Besides, the danger trequently les not so much in cargoes known to be dangerous, as in those supposed to be safe.Thus, a cargo of glass

exclusionist would misunderstand the same, but on re-read- ing it.1 can see that such was quite possible in view of the known extent to which race prejudice will carry some people.No, Mr.Rose, you did not wound my feelings in the least\u2014the more you rubbed it in the better I hiked it.1 will leave the defence of my (mostly .logical) conclusions to those who urge the .premises, viz.,, that our government should exclude from this sparsely peopled bit of God\u2019s earth our needy brethren trom crowded Asia.In my lest school the majority of my pupile were of Indian blood.Of these a good number were among the brightest and the dearest little children that I ever taught.The child who stood at the head .of her class work wag a young Indian maiden who could speak English but very , imperfectly when I took the school.Certainly in thet community there were men of the red race who were more desirable citizens than some of their white neizb- bors.At present I am teaching in a German

\u2018Asiatic\u2019 has somewhat subsided, it 1s probably timely and natural that there should be less talk and more reflection._ %# I have been greatly -p pased with the Ej several editorials and letters in your G paper degling with the question from the economic standpoint.But from the religious or Christian standpoint I wish to know how those gospel ministers who defended the exclusion movement, do eo, and reconcile their attitude with the teachings of Christ.~ I can readily understand our great masses, from: the ordinary level of human thought, preaching and endeavoring to practise \u2018exclusiveneas,\u2019 but when a man who professes to have been with the Master, and to preach from the Mount\u2014his eye secing afar\u2014when such a man comes forth and advocates an attitude that must of necessity mean untold hatred, strife and bloodshed among men and nations, it is time that some of those who sit in pews did some thinking.and studying for themselves, especially from the New Testament.One of these ministers referred to had at least the good quality of being wholehearted in his opinione and sayings.\u2018He knew the Japs,\u2019 he said \u2018They were an aggressive people,\u2014very aggressive\u2014they threw stones at him while he was in their country.Evidently they did not want him in their country\u2014they were exclusioniste.We suppose he saw the great contrast between their spirit and \u201cthat of Christianity.He returns to his own country, and what do we see?What, but an exclusionist\u2014\u2018heart and soul in the exclusion movement.\u2019 Another minister after elaborating on the beauty of charity and universal brotherhood in the beginning of his ser- * fnon, suddenly crossed the fence and declared that after all it was impossible to convert the Asiatic to the standard i of glorious Canadian democracy, and, i therefore, he must be kept out, but not excluded.What is the dominant power in India to-day?Here we see a handful of Britons virtually governing three hundred million people, and although they \u2018have not vet leavened the whole lump, > assuredly, they are moving India in the 4% 8 4} direction of self-government.But our , ministers cannot understand how British law and Christian religion practised in .reality, and not superficially preached, could bring up the Asiatic not only to .be a fit citizen for Canada, but also .for the kingdom of God.And have not these ministers themselves persistently declared that the Christian religion perfected the man, preparing him for the _ truest citizenship.But now we find the power to perfect.narrowed down so as to apply only to the Anglo-Saxon race.so * that.after all, Christianity becomes a \u2018weak and poor affair in straightening

equal.Refuse substitutes.is good and perfect, and Canada is Christian and great, and the Canadians the light of the world, as some ministers so pleasantly and eloquently say, why should they, the great noble Christian country, hide their light from those poor earth-born companions who sit in dark- nese?For, after all, if Canadian Christianity together with the much boasted | democracy be a light that can be put out by contact with Eastern darkness, | then, it had better go out and give place to something else.\u2018Our great and glorious race!\u2019 seems to be a captivating subject with some of our clergymen.But let us see how great it is.le it great enough to help others?Is it noble enough to be good?The Jews esteemed themselves one time.So they were,\u2014especially from a moral and religious standpoint.But they had got into the way of thinking that they had a peculiar right to God's blessings, and hoped for a monopoly of the same.\u2018In thee shall all nations of the earth be blessed,\u2019 was God's plan.Thus it is yet, #0 the Bible teaches, and eat at no nation can wrap itself up in its blessings and retain these.And if Canada is : peculiarly blessed from a moral and spiritual standpoint (to say nothing of the material) surely much ie expected of her.And while pride in race may be commendable, within certain limits.nothing is plainer, in the light of the New Testament, than that this spirit must be subordinated to interest in the kingdom of God.Or if the vision of a kingdom of God be altogether too vis- jonary for a modern gospel minister, what does he think of the poetic vision of \u2018Man to man the world o'er being brothere yet for a\u2019 that.\u201d Shall the nations be one?Shall they be brothers?Most assuredly, working out their own destinies surrounded by exclusion walls, shall not make them go.To conclude, \u2018Exclusion\u2019 may zood Anglo-Saxonism of a certain sort, it may be Americanism or Canadian, it: may be Darwinism, but it 18 not ideal British fair play; it is not professed American brotherhood, much less is it Christianity.XsraTies FELLOW-MORTAL.British Columbia, Dec, 1907.\u2014___ FARM HELP.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Your little lcader on the farm help question was excellent.Ite chief fault, to my mind, was its brevity.You hit upon some things which account in à very large measure for thie scarcity.1 cannot speak from experience, as 1 have only had two days\u2019 farming, but chietiy from observation, but it lg chiefly the conclusions (whether right or wrong), which I have arrived at from that observation which has kept me from taking up farm work as a regular occupation.Firstly, you mention that wages have ade vanced.Admitting that, I do not think the wages offered to an unekilled farm hand is sufficient.Why an unskilled man going to work on a farm should be expected to work lon hours, for less wages, tar on unskilled man ir any other x n is mot clear to\u2018 me.That is ¢ 1ivguently happens.A le borer in the city can get, and particularly at the time when the farmer wants him, that is the spring and summer, from nine to ten dollars a week for fifty- five and sixty hours per week.This leaves him, after paying about four dol- lers for board, five or gix dollars to spend and a lot more time to spare also.gixty-hour week at nine dollars a week works out at fifteen cents an hour.When you consider the hours a farm hand puts in He has *%o be very well paid to averag2 anything like that.Is it likely young men will leave the city just when the city firms are beginning to need them for such a prospect as long hours at a lower rate of w: and less freedom, and in an isolated village often?When the agriculturist realizes that other employers are competing with him for the men, and are offering conditions which are more acceptable to the young men then, perhaps, he will alter conditions and wages and get his share of the men.Again, there is its irregularity.Who wants to go to work at an occupation which he knows will terminate at the end of the fall and will throw him out of employment at the worst possible time of the year ?(It is my painful experi ence to be out at present.) As you remark, men seek the possibility of an all year round job in the city.mark also, farmers should go in for the class of farming which will avoid the ne cessity of dismissing every one almost of their men.I have heard many men speak bitterly, too, of the treatment meted out to f hands\u2014poor food, and ofttimes a sameness from day to day, and of being hurried off to bed as soon as work was over, and also poor sleeping accommodation.Even if a man is hungry he appreciates a change in his food, and even if he is tired he perhaps enjoys the relaxation of Yighting his pipe, if he smokes, and having a few moments of conversation, or a quiet read at newspaper or book.As to sleeping accommodation, even if he is the \u2018hired\u2019 man, he appreciates comfort, and it ought to be provided for him, because be is not at liberty to change, as he could and would if h« were boarding in the city and did not get satisfection.By his labor he pays for good board and lodging, and pays a good price, too, and he has a right to demand that which he paye for.At the only farm on which I have worked I was put to sleep in a room which was only a wooden addition, built over an outhouse, The timber was in ite rough bare state, nor had all the ricks been filled in, neither floor nor walls had any covering and the furniture consisted of a bed and a chair, a rough straw bed and scanty clothing.was given no light, although I nad never been in the house before.On the sec- end and last night 1 asked for a light, as I wanted to read, according to my usual practice, a bit of the Bible.Having no table, I had to put the lamn (which was supplied somewhat ungen- erouely) on the chair whilst I sat on the floor.I wae going to be paid at the rate of ten dollars « month.Is it to be wondered at.that I quat ?Your last clause about the provision of more houses for married couples is also to my mind a good one.Take my own case, for example, and I have come across be | regular farm As you re-.lots of other voung men in similar circumstances.am fond of country life and tired somewhat of the city, and wculd gladly take to farm life, even with its Jong bours, if prospects for future domestic comfort were better assured.But what are the general prospects ?As far as I can eee and hear most married couples live in the farm house with the far- reer, and the man's wife hae to help in the housework, which means that she 1s the farmer's wife\u2019s servant.She is a wife, certainly, but she ie not mistress of her own little cot, which is every woman\u2019s ambition.She is a servant; no disgrace, of course, but that is not the thing she planned for.My young Betty is in the old country, and there she will remain before 1 bring her out here to be a servant.But if on the other hahd, after finding an employer who wouid give me something lke a permanency, 1 could tale up a cottage, either on the farm or near to it, I would not wish for anything better, except, of course, that some day I might have my own farm.With every man and every woman there is an instinct to possess their own home, and a man will put up with much and endure much to attain this object.- Though kving away from the farm the wife would come in to help just the same, but there would be that distinct savis- faction of retiring at the end of the day to that fireside where they and not the farmer and his wife are master and mistress respectively.Here they can, no doubt, have their own vegetable and flower patch, and they can have things generally to their own tastes.Looked at fairly and from every point of view, it puts, for a married man and his wife, a far pleasanter aspect on things, and if farmers will only recognize this view of the matier and take steps accordingly, they will go a long way towards getting help, as where a man has got his wife, and perhaps one or two £hildren there, he will take pains to suit and will not readily throw up his job.Trusting that this letter will receive your consideration, and perhaps be inserted in the paper, which is my desire.WILLING.98 Jackson street west, Hamilton, Ont.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE MISTRESS QUESTION.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u201d) Army is bringing, or intending to bring, a large shipment of servant girls Canada\u2014but how long will they stay servants-?Is it not probable that most of them will prefer, as Canadian girls do, to work in stores or factories for much less pay, to escape the \u2018degradation\u2019 of domestic service ?I think it is worth.while to inquire what this degradation is, which the poorest of women give up so much money to avoid.To a certain extent, of course, it has to do with the long hours and the lack of freedom which usually go with this kind of work, but I think there is a deeper reason, of which | the girls themselves are only dimiy aware (not being given to sociologi speculation), namely, that those ey serve are unworthy of setvice.There are women who have more than their share of children, or men, to take care of; women who are too sick to work, and women who are doing something else to improve the world, and have no time for housekeeping.For any such T myself would gladly cook, yea, nd wash the dishes.If none but these ad servants, there would no servant problem.The whole trouble is caused y women who, having spent much time and thought in acquiring husbands with good incomes, think themselves entitled to loaf for the rest of their lives, or spend their energies and their husband's money in keeping up their position in society.They employ armies of servants, who respect and obey, not them, but their money.One respects a rich man, especially a self-made one, because it is evident that he must be a skilful business man, or at worst a clever pirate; but of a rich woman, the only thing evident is that she is a successful man-hunter\u2014and she only had to do that once.There is no shame in working in a store or a factory, because there the one who gives the orders understands the work, and has risen by merit to the position of giving ars.A like system of promotion exists to a certain extent in polygamous households\u2014the Dowager Empress of China rose by her own talents from a very low position.But in this country, when a man finds that he has a butterfly in the parlor and a first-class housekeeper in the kitchen, he does not discharge his wife and promote the cook to be forewoman of the home department.The cook must go on forever, serving laziness, incompetence and vanity.No wonder she asks high wages, and sometimes \u2018gives herself airs,\u2019 \u2018thinking herself as good as her mistress.\u201d I think her a great deal better.C.bm Qu \u2018The QUEBEC TRAGEDY.\u2019 (To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I sincerely thank you for your kindly notice of Mr.Sellar\u2019s book, \u2018 The Tragedy of Quebec,\u2019 and also for your leader in reply to the insinuations of the \u2018Canada\u2019 in connection with your book notice.During the past twenty- five years, I have made a special study of the Quebec situation, and in almost every part of the province have had full and free converse with the people, and know pretty well the mind.of the minority as to the disturbing questions, and the causes of the Protestant exodus, and I name the following: The farming of Seigniory land, as a rule, hard scrabble; the universal parish system, which makes the priest the autocrat of the municipality; the law as to the formation of new parishes, which admits of the minority being transferred from the old to the new parish, and as a rule with an increase of municipal burdens; the law as to the disallowance of the Eng lish as an\u2019 official language, and the changing of the names of districts from | English to French; the dominance of canon law as to marriages, emphasizing the cleavage of races; and, lastly, our school system, which forces the minority to dissent from the \u2018confessional school,\u2019 or to pay taxes to it.» Sir, \u2014 I understand that the Salvation |at a fixed payment per day.To all intents and purposes, it is the Church that holds the land and profits from the increase of Roman Catholic settlers.Once a break has been made in, a Protestant district, the French family that settles down, as a rule, immediately unfurls the French flag, tri- calor, or that of the \u2018Sacred Heart, which the minority takes as a declaration of War, which it really is.I would advise all really interested in the Quebec situation (rural parts) to read \u2018The French in New England\u2019 by the (late) Père Hamon, S.J., also the books of Père Lacame on \u2018Quebec Colonization, and the Issue.\u2019 All of these throw light on the present discontent.and exodus of the minority, and also of members of the majority.One of the majority, a Roman Catholic, and a successful commercial educator, lately met a Quebec friend, in Winnipeg, who gave him the following greeting, \u2018Glad to see you, hope you have come to stay; this is God's country.where a man is a man!\u2019 On every occasion possible, I have advised our farmers, and others, to remain in the Province, enumerating its advantages, but the answer has been, \u2018 Everything is against us, ther: is no future for our children, and the situation is ever growing worse!\u2019 Since 1887, the foreign priests have greatly aggravated the situation\u2014making the race cleavage more distinct, but there is\u2019 this of it, \u2018When things are at their worst, they mend.\u201d I thank Mr.Sellars for his book as a sensible, timely, and very valuable historical essay, but regret that he was so handicapved as to its publication.ONE OF THE MINORITY.ROADS.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014I have been in Montreal some twenty years, and during that long period the condition of our roads has not improved considering the amount of money s&pent, or rather wasted in a large measure, What is the cause?From my observations we lack the right body of men.They are either careless or in- \u2018different, or ignorant as to their duties in this particular right.There is much \u2018money spent, but where is the improvement?From one end of Montreal to the other we are ankle deep in filth the year round, and it is a boon to see the snow cover up the filth and decayed matter which adorn our streets.The lanes we will leave untouched, so will our civic representatives.What we lack is system, and I propose to give a few ideas which have occurred to me time and again.Suppose we establish in different parts of the city stone crushers; employ a number of carters whose duty it will be to cart stone to their respective places, a Place in position at certain sections of the road- | ways boxes to contain crushed stone, \u2018| about the size of, or, a little larger than, \u2018| the present manure boxes.Keep filled; employ a man for a certain section of roadway and hold him responsible for that section, and you will soon see a vast improvement in our macadam roads, which are preferable to asphalt under our climatic conditions.he whole trouble with our system is, that when a new road is made it is allowed to get worm-eaten before it is looked at, and good Toads are so few that carters will as a rule, give their patronage to the street that will save their horses.Sherbrooke street is a fine example.More money has been spent upon that street than upon a dozen others, and always with the same result.It has been a perfect disgrace this fall, between filth and holes, and it can easily be kept in order by proper management, which 18 sadly lacking at present.We have | the men for the work,\u2014we have the money,\u2014where are the managers?COMMON SENSE., Note.\u2014If our correspondent\u2019s observation had gone over fifty years instead of twenty, he would have given a like record for Sherbrooke street, only worse, and the same for every other street that we have attempted to keep.Most of the money spent on them has been wasted first by bad road-making\u2014it is better now\u2014secondly, by cutting up the pavements as soon as laid, and thirdly, by a Jack of the needful constant care which makes a macadam road the perfection of roads.eter.JEW AND GENTILE.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Apropos of Mr.Cohen's latest contribution to your valued paper, will you allow me a few remarks.He starts out by deprecating religious discussions, and straightway launches forth \u201con such a subject.It all depends upon the spirit in which one enters upon it, and if such a broad spirit as permeates the editorials of the \u2018Witness\u2019 (to read them daily is a liberal education) there wouid be no fear of creating bad feeling.Mr.Cohen refers to recent events on the Pacific Coast and wonders why such a high valuation should be put upon the soul of an Oriental and so littie upon his material welfare.The question is simply and purely an economic one, and for one have great sympathy with workmen who refuse to enter into competition with Japanese and Hindoos, whose standard of living is much below that of white men.It very closely concerns the material welfare of them, their wives and children, and it is only natural and right that for the latter their first consideration should be shown.That is the motive which actuates these men.It is not that they hate these men because of their color.White men are taking to the Orient what they believe will be good not only for their souls but also for their material good.Now, Mr.Editor, what are the Jews doing in this direction ?If they are alone the repository of the truth, why don\u2019t they \u2018get busy\u2019 and emulate this good example.Truth will suffer nothing from propagation.Mr.Cohen questions my right to ac- ' cuse the Jews of an exclusive spirit.and says: \u2018They are more pliable, will adapt themselves more readily to the climate, customs and environments than any other people\u2019 Again [ dissent.To the Scottish nation belongs tlus credit.: Scotchmen do not only nominally, but in effect, adapt themselves to any new conditions by merging themselves mio the life of the nation of their adoption.(while at the same time preserving an undying love for the land of brown heath and shaggy wood), and will not be found setting up a separate colony in any city, but rather will seek to perpetuate the best traditions of their race striving to bring about that glorious time \u2018when man to man the world o'er, shall brothers be an\u2019 a\u2019 that.\u2019 J.BROWN.2 THE ATONEMENT.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness\") Sir,\u2014In view of the prominence given to \u2018The Atonement,\u201d in the discussion between Jew and Christian, and in the Dr.Workman case, it may be well to turn aside from the atmosphere of theological terms and dogma, into that of the historical documents which lie be hind the dogma.A mediating spirit may pervade that sphere.The mission of Jesus to Israel, which is recorded in the Gospels and first few chapters of the Acts of the Apostles was, in fact, in aim, and in effort, a unity.It may be examined, however, as if comprised of two periods, one of which comprehended the mission up to the crucifixion, the other the crucifixion and that subsequent mission, during which, in accordance with Jesus\u2019 own command, the activity and the redemptive aim of the mission, were as definitely limited to Israel, as during the period which preceded the crucifixion.Of both periods of this ministry, the vicarious suffering of Jesus was the characteristic; but the external form ix which his vicarious suffering exhibited itself in the pre-crucifixion period, differed from the external form in which it afterwards found manifestation; acts testified to (yet only dimly discerned), in present day expressions regarding \u2018the shadow of the cross cast forward over the life.\u2019 Take the history of the pre-crucifixion period.It is as remarkable as it is significant, that in various ways, the narrative labels Jesus\u2019 miracles as manifestations of vicarious suffering.The most marked example of this is when St, Matthew stamps an enumeration of various miracles of healing, with a quotation respecting Isaiah\u2019s suffering servant of Jehovah; \u2018 Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses\u2019 Here the character of Jesus is s0 conceived.that the condition of the physically afflicted, is regarded as reaching out to him in such a way, that he himself suffers, not their pain but his own, different from theirs yet on account of theirs, a pain of his spirit, which is not only because of but also unto the removal of theirs, With regard to Jesus\u2019 relation and attitude to the sin of Israel, which is, of course, our chief concern, there hardly need to specify examples of his vicarious suffering.Île is represented as pained, grieved, oppressed at heart over the sin of Israel, moved by a feeling which is at once anger and sorrow.agonized in spirit at the prospect of having to pass unto his cross through and by the sin of his people, filled with an anguished longing for the recovery of Israel.In this case, indeed, Israel was not sensible of her affliction, did not realize her deplorable condition.nor feel the spiritual pain of her guilt as he did; yet that did not make his suffering any the less vicarious.Just because his view of the nature of their sin and its\u2019 manifold results was 0 clear, s0 the ignorance of Israel and their refusals of him which were the effects of that ignorance, became addi tional burdens on his spirit, and additional painful pleas within him urging him to continual effort for their redemption.His experiences throughout the pre-crucifixion mission are summed up in his words\u2018 OQ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killeth the prophets and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often would I have gathered thy children together.even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ve would not.\u201d That this suffering of heart was hecause of Israel's &in.and that it was experienced throughout the mission is evidenced by the retrospective form of the utterance.That the, mission in suffering was also unto Israel's recovery from «in is equally plain.for it is set forth as a ceries of efforts to gather the people to himself.That even the address in which the words occur was a new endeavor with the same end in view cannot be doubted.True the long list of \u2018 wops\u2019 which precedes.seems like an irrevocable pronouneement of unpending doom.When, however, they are re- js garded in their gelation to the feeling of You may forget the tenderness of the steak\u2014the crispness of the toast\u2014but you will ne'er cup of Chase & Sanborn\u2019.- SEAL BRAND COFFEE.| br, marked outstanding : forget the satisfyin« deliciousness of your breakfast Jesus as expressed m1 declaration of wort pen from a Heart whieh i on 1 pain, and wine 11 arms demption of his una sus do the final words oan oes doom.They state spoon tions oi recovery, ani à make effort tor recone unto vou.ve hall 1 forth wil ve ray wo not that even now as be led 10 repent and =.that cometh m the nine Besides this, and on pear l'Escue-niission Was sut selle?tinued for several veurs © 1- The impression : {survey 1 that ar [ara ignorant, and restant Hess | the aum and effort or Joon land mamifesting his vicars 1 | \u201cTf the princes of this world they would not have crues i HES fe, Wr cof Glory.\u201d In a like strain tv [Peter in lux preaching to I+ the Aecension dechared 15 through ignorance ve did nr.a vour rulers.\u201d Thus the conne tween the eross manifested an first period.and the ros during the second period 6°: - to Israel.was a vital conne 0 mined by the natnre but the manner of maniiestat on wl each period wax determined © dition and needs of the peo The second period of Jesus's mr to Israel.which eluded the resurrection and ascension, and sen mission.was in the hme of the - 10d.It afforded cleaver ire \"ye vineing evidence of Jesus Me and divine sonslip.a broader cod 00 awful manifestation of how Is ue 0 reached out to him an wafer ood more glorious revekr : \u2018for their recovery.\u2018Tur.torical record.Tet Gt he net he disciples the crucifixion the viearious euffesnr for Israel, 1s by giving due prono te that part of the mission on whats d'reiples Jai such stress the ayo nS vo we Uh Cr op mission, with its gracious mess Israel: for that mission fo'low «he cifixion not merely In the sequen time, but in the order of various s.R.ghreou- cart hus Tie Tod the bit» uli here a] Lg an, 1 of ne = M pas- our mia- rac- \u2018hen hie | he ex ATE, are ous cd r'a evi- not 3 ex- I~ & two huir : is con- his n to his 1 of has - ures conn De k of feels in- : be- ract.oved \u2014 at iv her as en- x Jj ive must meet together & be = our nature and personality, and C6 produce inevitably either ET leasare to the well, or a one or pan toward the evil Joer.Re- , ri \u2018n this hght, the vicarious suffer- - y Jesus as wowardly [manifested m \"noe masion Lo Israel, its on- © TE own nature and personality, \u201c|, sucn manner that 1t cannot be reck- a1.eitner as the demand vf his holi- Se or as the offering of his love.If terms are to be used, then his vi- us suffering was at once the demand i the offering of his own holiness and Len love in active combination.He \u201cge and condemned Lerael, his loved, ou vam of spirit which was because of inraeïs on and unto lsrael\u2019s recovery.i\" this passion of his own holiness and : own love his mission to Israel was .neenved, brought forth, and lived out.\u2018j'a the eve that looks through the seen sndit:ons of time, place, and arcum- ance the life and limited mission of lœus to Israel reveal Jesus himself, i.e., * « mind.character, feelings, motives, af- jections.etr.\u2026.and more; for this revela- von of Jesus is the revelation of the Word.and this revelation of the Word « the revelation of God\u2014Father, Son, > scratching.Vaseline &taine are Very obs: nate an?the very beet thing for them is to enak either in spirite of wine or kerceere Soap and candles should be bongn* AOTP time before they are needed.us \u2018hey waste lees quickly after being kep*.\u2014 It half an inch of olive-cil is pourtd C7 ihe top of a partly ueed bo:ile 6?ove and the bottle well corked, the olivre w\" retain their flavor indefiniteiy Cover \u2018he wall above the kit.hn tube for a height o 20 inches with oilcloth or ~omething easily cleaned.Fasten thi by nailing to the top edge a strip of soft wood about an inch thick.Fill w.th ema.aails or hooks and use for cooking « poonr, forks, egg beaters, and such gmail article as are in constant Use in \u2018he kithen About 18 inches above place a long hr.\u201d the under «ide having large hock 177 1 !

it is then we feel the insufficiency of narrow eecular so-called pleasures, and with the thought of immortality étrong within us, question the soul, What doest thou?Whatever the ccndition, there is always the krowledge that many we deem evil are the victims of circumstances, of heredity or of their surroundirgs.Suffering surely fcllows sin, and we know little of the struggle that gces on in other hearts, the fetters that bind other lives.And bow we depend upon 2ach other, while none can gauge the influence of a good or an cvil exampie to lead nen to heights or depths in our little world.And if the man or woman of many priv- ilegoez has fai\u2019ed to use them for aims that uplift and strengthen, living only for self aggrandizement or selfish pleasure, it would have teen better for him that he had not become a possessor of these talents rather than put them to base uses.Better to have laid it away in a napkiv to await his Lord\u2019s coming, rather than bring punishment upon the weak, and erring.WHEN OTHERS FAIL.\u2018Oh, dear,\u2019 she said, thoughtlessly, \u2018we ought to have flowers in winter, as well as in sun-mer, for it is then «ick people want them most.Why are they eco scarce in December, except at the florists?\u2019 For one reason, was the answer: in summer, there is all outdocrs to grow them in, the balmy air, the eunshine, and every encouragement.Now, the days are dark and cold: flowers, like pesple, must have sunlight to make them thrive.If you had exercised a little forethought, there was no reason why you should not bave Roman Hyacinths and paper-white Narcissus in blcom now, but winter flowers mean that some one will take thought before hand.You could grow geraniums in summer for the purpose, when all vegetation is full of lusty life, and buds form quickly.~ But it requires a iittle planning, and now the ground is frozen and inaccessiblé.The only thing I can advise is for you to take a prvring knife and go out into the garden, first to the lilac bushes, then the Forsythia, cherry and Japan quince.Cut large branches that have good firm buds, and set in pails full of cold water in a cool, dark place.If not too cold for development, they should Lbloom in four or five weeks, and be a genuine delight to the flower lover.All the blessems will be lighter colored than when out of doors, but your friends, to whom you wish to give flowers, will enjoy the epring suggestion in even the young and terder green of the leaves, and the ethereal texture of the fragrant blossoms.The flower mission gospel of \u2018something white, something Mhright and something sweet,\u2019 is doubly eweet in these advance guards of spring, and will take into other lives a bit of surshine long remembered.So try this plan when others fail.CRANBERRIES AND WHORTLEBER- RIES.F.D.\u2014The whortleberry, sometimes called bilberry, is a low growing shrub, a native of Tscuntainous regions in Europe, Asia, and North America.It is used to make a beverage in Europe, but not a fruit of any importance.The berries are black, and rather sweet White threatened to win a piece by 19.sent.All questions answered through ¢ above ground.+ The cuttings are set 12 to 14 inches apart each way, and it is three years before a crop can be expected, even with the best of care.The cranberry bog muet be well tended if a crop le expected.;

Clarence.\u2014As your plant is old, the trunk has become hard and woody, showing lines of the bark.This may be a reason why the lower leaves turn yellow and drop Off, but the new side branches should furnish a fresh crop, coming from the axil of the Ÿ leaves.It may improve the plant to cut off the top forcing outside branches and producing vigorous growth.While growing it requires plenty of water and a walfn, moist air, but at rest should be watefed sparingly.In the dry atmosphere of our living rooms they often stop to rest at the wrong time and the wood hardens.which results in brown spots that kill the leaves.I£ there is eoft, rapid growth, and a moisture in the air the leaves will be glossy and green which will prevent premature ripening.Do not let dust gather on the plant, and take all the precautions mentioned, but do not be alarmed at the {falling of a few yellow leaves.PLANTAINS IN LAWNS.B.T.J.\u2014It is true the plantain is a \u2018aui- sance,\u201d and not to be wondered at that you wish to rid your lawn of its presenec.You can kill the plants next spring by cutting it off at the crown and putting on a few drops of muriatic acid.But it is a slow process where there are many plants and the lawn mower is often 6uc- cessful, if used regularly, in ridding the land of this pest.It hgs been remarked that there are a few plantains where turkeys are kept, but we do not all feel inclined to keep turkeys on the lawn, so the cutting out process is best and surest.FLOWER FOR NAME.Nellie.\u2014The flower enclosed in your pleasant letter is a Coreopsis, commonly called Tickseed, and some of the species are sold as Calliopsis.They are both annual and perennial, the former raiséd from seed and bloom freely with little care, and the perennial are showy plants, quite hardy.The specimen sent is badly faded, but the color is a bright yellow and gives a fine bit of color in the flower border during Dr.'s One ved quaranteef end guaran cure for each and every form of itchimg, bleeding end protruding i testimonials im the press and ask your piles Dors about it You can use it and get your money beck if not satisfed.80, at all dealers or EDMANSON, BAFES & Oo.to.DR.CHASE'S OINTMENT not know, but al- which must be kept as uniform as possib- | good plan, for then a flaw can be easily: HOW HE BUILDS UP PLUMAGE OF ALL SIZES AND COLORS FOR PICTURE HATS.\u2014 (London \u2018Chronicle.\u2019) There 1s an unprecedented demand for wings and feathers this winter, und with few exceptions every hat is decorated with plumes wbich flutter in che shightest brecze.; Composite plumes are the most fashion- -æble, and wings are of such remarkable size and hue that it is obvious that no bird could have supplied the plumage.In consequence the ingenuity of Paris, Vienna and London manufacturers has been P taxed to the utmost to meet the need.It will interest those who have hu- \u2018 manitarian seruplee to know that the | gayest plumage nowadays comes from the humble barnyard, the poulterer\u2019s shop I and sportsmen\u2019s guns.The feathery pro- | ducts from these sources are dyed to magnificent colors, conjured into the vast erections that decorate the newest shapes and are softened to the needs of the picture hat.\u201cWe have agents all over the world, said a feather maker, \u2018who buy up poultry and game feathers and send them to the great centres, where they are distributed for manufacture.Here is an excellent instance\u2014these \u201cmilitary\u201d fca- thers, that are the most fashionable, ure contributed by the farmyard chantidleer.They are dyed to almost every color and then mounted by hand.\u2018This\u2014' and the manufacturer held up some exquisite plumage\u2014\u2018is hand made entirely and is from the neck feathers of the duck.Turkey feathers are used the same way and dyed the required color.Pheasant tails are preferred in their natural color, while other \u2018\u201cgame\u201d plumage is made entirely by hand on mounts, cach feather being attached by adhesive gum.L Nometimes indeed plumage from six different birds ig used to secure a desire effect.feather was shown eomewhat resembling seaweed.\u2018This is made from the leest valuable parts of the ostrich feather, twisted and mounted.\u2018Many devices are used, \u201890, to secure unique color effects.This'\u2014and a rare feather was lifted for inspection\u2014\u2018has had the color extracted, while these\u2019\u2014 and.a vivid box of plumes was opened\u2014 \u2018show the latest triumph In artistic dye- ng.\u2018There is no need for cruelty or exter- | Mination.The birds that grace our ta- \"bles can supply the plumage, the dyer thé necessary color and the nimble fin- gère of English and French work girls 1 will weave them into deft shapes.\u2018While ladies demand exotic plumage the.manufacturers must supply it.It is impossible to imitate the natural beau- : ties of the osprey or the bird of para- There is a waxen bloom over each apple dise or of any of the exquisite little birds that come from purely tropical climates.Birds, however, are not fashionable this vear, but a stock must always be kept in ;

For seven days after the wedding the Arab bride and bridegroom are supposed not to leave their room.The bride may see none of her own family and only the women folk ef her husband's, who wait cn her.She remains in all her wedding finery and paint and docs ansolutely nothing.The bridegroom generally slips out at night after three days and secs a few friends privatel}s, but he persistently hides from his wife\u2019s family, and should fore the seven days are over he turns ais hack and draws his burnous.or haik, over hig face.This is their view of a honeymoon.and they grow as weary of it as any European couple do of their enforced Continental tour.TALK WITHOUT WORDS IN NOISY CARS.As a personal dislike, the dislike of talking against the clatter of travel may be mentioned.And here comes in ihe one hand Jeaf and dumb alphabet.It requires but little exercise of the hand\u2014 right or left, as vou please.The fingers and thumb with the arm will do it, And vou can talk surely, swiftly, while you hold your newsnuper with the ther hand.And if the noise of life increases, our throats will have to give in and our fingers do the talking.\u2014Correspondence of the London \u2018Globe.\u2019 : THE HORSE GUARDS\u2019 MORTAR.The old and somewhat time-worn smor- i tar on the Horse Guards\u2019 Parade.which fiz receiving a much-needed coat of fresh | paint just now, has.an interesting his- ;tory.This picce of ordnance was placed jin position on Aug.12, 1816, and is a {relic of the Peninsula Campaign, baving -been employed at the bombardment of Cadiz.It was left behind during the famous retreat > Marshal Soult, and thus came into the poescssion of the Spanish railitary authorities, Bv these it was presented to the prince regent as a souvenir of the war.His Roval Highness graciously hccepted the gift, and ordered it to be mounted on the Horse Guards\u2019 Parade with a view to thus commemorating_the recent successes oË the British arms undec the Duk: of Welling- [ton in Spain.\u2014 \u2018Westminster Gazette.\\ \u2018Here again,\u2019 and a beautiful fluttering he bv zccident meet his father-in-law bethe heart, breathlessness and tendeney te faint.In extreme cases there is complete disappearance of the menstrual flow and dropsical swelling of the limbs, Treatment consists in restoring the red corpuscles of the blood and building up the general health, Physi- Gans know of no remedy so prompt in results as Ferrozone, which contains allthe elements lacking in debilitated blood.Ferrozone not only improves the present quality of the Hood, but actually forms more b'ood \u2014the rich, red kind that nourishes and feeds the organs that require assistance, It is impossible for any person to - suffer from White Bloodedness that uses Ferrozone.This 1s amply proved by the following statement: \u2018About a year ago.\u201d writes Mrs, S.G.Stanhope, of Rothesay, \u2018my daughter complained of feeling tired, she wae very pale and listless, and kept us to get it for Elaine.It took three boxes of Ferrczone to make anv decided improvement, but when six boxes were used my daughter was beginning to be her old self again.It didn't take: much longer to make a complete cure, and 1 am convinced that there 1s no better blood-maker than Ferrozone.It has made a new girl of Elaine.She has gained ten pounds in weight and looks the pre- ture of perfect health.She 16 «trong- er and enoys the best of spirits.The credit of her recovery 1s due entirely to Ferrozone.Every growing girl and young wo- \u201cman can make herself strong and healthy .h Ferrozone.Complexion soon becomes rosy, nerves get new strength, tiredness vanishes, Fer- rozone is sold by all druggists.Price 0c per box.or six boxes for 82.50.By mail from N.C.Polson & Co., Hartford.Conn., U.S.A., and Kings ton, Ont Orang Meat - Limericks.Greatest Number of Ont.;

In fact they were =o much annoyed by the crowds that they appealed, not very successfully, to the police.Fashions are changing in other respects also.There is a movement on foot now to establish an athletie club for members of the various schools and colleges.When we arrived it was late in the afternoon, and soon after, in the stillness of the evening hour, we heard hundreds of children\u2019s voices singing a weird sort of chant, which on inquiry turned out to be a patriotic song being taught by officially appointed teachers in \u2018the schools close by.GRAVE OF THE TICHBORNE CLAIMANT.While the subject of claimants to titles and the estate< that go with them is in the air it i= interesting to note that i» Paddington Cemetery.Willesden lane, \u2018lies the body of Arthur Orton, whe claimed to be Sir Roger Tichborne.On his coffin he was described as such, but his miniature tombstone bears merely ione line.and that reads \u2018No.1472 Orton, after serving many years Imprisonment.appeared on \u2018the halls\u2019 and died in Star street, off Fdgware road.\u2014 London * Globe.\u2019 = AN OUTPOST OF EMPIRE.Cicte is one of the \u2018voret stations for British troors.There is little to sce, nothing to gain.unhealthy climate and poor rations; in fact, it is an ideal piace for \u2018brigands and robbers,\u201d or, to be more polite, \u201cTurks and Greeks'\u2014\u2018Regiment.\u2019 LE di 28 8 1 gin ir, ATRL ih i i | Magnetic West.{For the \"Witness.\" A CRUISE UP THE BRITISH COLUMBIAN COAST.(By the Skipper.)

We made cver thirty miles that day ab together, and another thirty on lunes day, which began calm and got windier and windier as the afternoon wore on.\u2018The wind was with us, and we were In à hurry, so we kept on until the boat rolled so that we had to take in the mainsail, for fear of atching the boom m a wave and upsetting.We wanted to make Sal mon river, where there is a rancherie.and a lumber camp, and the only good farm land that we saw on our whole cruise; but tbe tide turned against us so strongly that we hardly went forward at all, with only the jib up.Also, it got dark and cold, and we were glad enough to gain the shelter of a point and tie the boat to a fallen tree that hung out kori- zoutally over the water.In the morning it was dead calm again.We got afloat, so as to be ready for the wind when it came out of the magnetic west (which is the same as west-north- west by the north star, in this region.In those waters, that wind blows almost every day in summer, blowing into the Gulf of Georgia.In the winter it blows the other way.But that day was an exception.Sometimes there was a breath of air out of the east; but usually none at all.The tide should have beeg with us, but we tried in vain to find any appreciable current going our way.After sit hours\u2019 sailing, we had managed to drift almost across the channel, and then\u2019 it began to rain, so we rowed to shore and camped.Just where we camped I may not describe.for Port found a silver mine there, At least, the mineral looked more like silver than anything,else, what there was of it, and there might be a good deal of it somewhere around, but we did not find enough of it to be worth while.Next day, when we woke up, there was a gale blowing and the crew did not want to be out in it.So we stayed on land, and waited all day for it to quiet down.Also.we lived on half rations, for our provisions were getting low.The next day, Friday, we got away early with a fair wind, and after rpnning across to Port Kusam for provisions, squared away homeward under mainsail and epinnaker.The fine weather and good feeding so wrought upon the skipper that he burst forth into a joyous carol: \u2014 \u2018Sat! home, tn love and caresses, When Maggie, my darling, is there by my side, Sail home, blue eyes and gold tresses The fairest of all is my own little\u2014' At this point Port gently but firmly etopped the music by means of an oilskin jacket covering the singer's countenance, end twisted tightly about his neck.Anyway, her name isn\u2019t Maggie; she hasn't blue eyes or golden hair, and I am very eure she isn\u2019t mine, 80 it doesn\u2019t matter wuch.CHAPTER II\u2014THE HOLE.\u2018Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast The rapids are near, and the dayllght's past,\u2019 \u2014Moore, The next question was, which of the passages we should take to get into the Gulf of Georgia.The northern tide waters flow in and out-of that gulf by four narrow channels,.and at the narrowest part of each channel there are very dangerous rapids and whirlpools, when.the tide is running strongly.The big boats take the Seymour Narrows, because they give the shortest channel, but small ats and tuge with booms of logs usually take the Hole-in-the-\\Wall, which is safer.The Yucultas and Surge Narrows are not much used.We decided on the Hole, which was the way we had come up, and reached there about eight o\u2019clock that night.We had oot calculated the time of slack water very exactly\u2014we had only the Canadian tide tables, which are no good at all for any passage but the Seymour, and arriving there an hour too early, we were almost eucked into the rapids.We had sailed across the channel in the twilight, and had got the oars out to rowgashore, when Port noticed that we were drifting rapidly down stream, toward a roek that stuck out into the water.\u2018Put ber on?the rock,\u201d he yelled; \u2018if we pass it we'll be in the rapids!\u201d I gave one stroke with the oar, then, as we drifted within a few fer of the rock, I made a jump off the stern, with a loop of the mainsheet in my hand.As soon as | landed on the [ock 1 pulled the rope in and braced my eels on the edge of a crack.The cur- _ tent jammed the stern against the rock, and I heard the rudder crack; then it caught her bow and swung it round.Just as | thought I should be pulled off my feet, the bow swung down stream, and the force of the current pressed her against the rock, so that she lay there guietly.We breathed several sighs of relief, tied her there, and went to look or firewood.After supper the tide slackened, and we moved her to a comfortable place for the night.We did not take the trouble to put up the tent that night; indeed, we seldom used 1t on fine nights, preferring to pick our own sleeping places separately, and sleep with the stars for company.Besides, we would often have had trouble in finding a flat place big enough to pitch a tent on.The next night it took us a good while to find a place smooth enough for one to sleep in; we had rowed through the narrows at slack water, and got into the valley of the Hole in the Wall, the sides of which.run up from the water like the roof of a house.We had to row about four miles :the boat is disgracefully hard to row) before we could find a sleeping place.We tied the boat up in a cosy c3rmer between two steep rocks, and in the morning we found that rhe Lad mauag:d to jam herself between thzm, and ire tide had left her hung up sb tLat we could walk underneatn her.There was nothing for it but to wait untu noon, when the tide lifted her off aga, apparently none the worse.SE It was Sunday, but we must/push On, for our provisions were running shors again.We had expected to gt to the Saturday night, and we would have 1! there had been any wind.But sacusday had been dead calm, and Sunday.was very little better; we sailed three miles in four hours.We landed on an island and had supper: one grouse, which 1 had shot the day before, while we were waiting for the tide to turn in the Hole, and a handful of crumbs, boiled in the water we had boiled the grouse in, and enriched with butter; also, a cup of tea.There remained one biscuit apiece.We had just finished this frugal meal, and it was getting dark, whea we saw Wall.Soon we were able to distin- lights of a steamboat, and then, far behind} another light, faint and low down.Was that another boat, or wii it the light carried on the end of a \u2018boom.of logs ?As the boat came nearer the ible, and soon we could distinguish with certainty that there were two lights on the mast.At \"this we smiled sweetly and launched the boat, for two lights on the mast means a tow, and the light half a mile behind meant logs, & a tow of logs does not too fast.to catch, even in the dark.We got almost in.front of the tug, watched her pass a hundred feet away, and then rowed the boat toward the invisibie boom of logs.If we rowed in too soon, And got in front of the logs, we would have |a bad time;if we went in too late, and missed them, there was no saying when we would get anything to cat.We could see nothing but the tug's- lights, it was impossible to judge.We listened, and heard nothing but the murmur of the tug's engines, At last we decided to row in, anyway.Starboard went forward with the boathook, and Port and I rowed.Suddenly Starbeard called to us, \u2018Turn, quick! We're running into them !\u201d Before we could turn we hit them with a bump, and Starboard jabbed the nearest log with the boathook.* We were pulled around all he could do to hold on, but as soon as the boat came parallel with the logs she lay quietly beside them, with hardly any pull at all.We took her to the end of the logs, tied her there and Starboard and I went to sleep on the floor.Port took the first watch, and not feeling sleepy that night, sat up all night and took his sleep next day.hind that tow of logs was the bright est I ever saw.Their wake was full of whirls of golden fire; it was something like a sky full of falling stars, and something like Somebody\u2019s curls, when the sunshine falls on them.We travelled at the rate of about three miles an hour; not very fast going, but effective, when you keep it up day and night.In \u2018the morning we passed a village with a store\u2014should we put in and get some provisions ?We had eaten our last biscuit, and come away from the meal with an appetite which the doctors say is healthy.I don\u2019t believe they ever tried it.It may be good for the health, bat it\u2019s bad for the temper.If we went to the village we would lose our tow, and who could tell when we would get another, or a favorable wind ?We were overdue in Vancouver, 80 we hung on to the logs.For dinner we each had a little can of pork and beans cold.Our water can had atart- ed leaking a few days before, and we had nothing to drink but half ai small can of condensed cream.In the afternoon, as we kept getting hollower, we mixed up butter and sugar: into what cooks call hard sauce.We flavored it fudge.Toward evening it got windy, and our tow went into a small bay for the night.We didn\u2019t mourn much over the delay, for we gent Port, as the most presentable member of the crew, on board the tug, and he came back with a box of soda biscuits, a can of meat, and a gallon of fresh water.So we were happy once more.And the next day the tug proc to Vancouver, and we got home.Belay.ten BILLY.* (By Sallie Campbell.)

nasty head sea that those on the large southern mail steamer, which passed us they saw our bottom many atime as we were pegging away into it.As.we were loaded with empty casks for the whale factory, which had promised to fill them for us with dog food, and as we had ako a deck load of lumber and a quantity of pital, we must have looked a strange sight to passengers accustomed to \u2018see things done decently.\u201d We had scarcely reached 40 miles down the east coast when signs of bad weather showed on every side, and 1 was wakened roughly just before dawn by nearly being thrown head first out of my bunk.Tables, chairs, dishes, and boxes and all the loose impedimenta in the ship were violently clattering about as -the heavily rolling vessel hurled them from side to aide, and before the chaos was reduced to order, the dripping figure of the skipper in oilskins came and suggested we should have to run for it.But | bolder counsels prevailed, and after the | toughest piece of work this

had been unfortunate enough, moreover, recently to lose our starboard bower anchor and fifteen fathoms of new best chain.So it was absolutely essential we should bring up in some place where we could put lines ashore to the rocks, an?this we could here fortunately do.Moreover, this harbor communicates by smooth runs inside large islands with several other harbors, and we could go on working inside without minding the great ground seas tearing everything to pieces outside.One poor lad we saw yesterday we had to send up for treatment at the asylum, and to-day have had not only one operation to do under an anaesthetic, but also many other cases.We have heard already of 31 vessels lost lin this gale, ithe wharves and stages m fone place being all torn from the land.It is now time to turn in, Mr.Editor, and you can little appreciate the pleasure that foreshadows.For we are at peace, The gale is still raging furiously ower- head.The sound of mighty waters thundering on the cliffs outside, is plainly heard on deck, and suggests where we might so easily be, while here, the absolutely placid waters are actually converted into a semblance &f the sea of glase in the vision of the heavenly rest, by the soum of oil that distils ceaselessly from the débris of the adipose leviathans that have been cooking a\u2019l sum- 'mer just ahead of us.Even De Quincey would admit that the sensation we

in fact, he was just then pursuing a policy of sever!- ty toward the over-friendiy bears.Campers\u2019 waggohs had been broken into; the bears were growing so bold as to enter the hotels in search of food.A campaign was accordingly organized for the following night, in which my cousin.À.D.Baker, and myself were invited to participate.A covered waggon was drawn up on the camping grounds and placed in the position of the raided camp; a bit of ham and grocery boxes were set temptingly in front, and moonlight saw two of us, with Buffalo Jones, hidden inside the waggon cover, armed with two rifles and a shot gun.It was Buffalo\u2019s opinion that the cold griz7lv would return, seeking her cub.If she did, we were to shoot her dead.It seemed to be an odd place to be lying in wait for grizzly bears.We could hear the singing from the hotel verandas and the occasional creak of a waggon along the not distant road.It was like hiding for a shot at a cow; and vet it was exciting, too, for, as Buffalo took paing to point out, there was not an improbable chance of danger It was prettv dark for shooting accurately, and if we should happen to wound the grizzly without killing her, she might rake it upon herself to demolish us, waggon and all.So we sat, cramped and shivering under the waggon cover, rifle in hand.Tie \u201cwith an commotion, and the man vi the party : \u2014 pe CE \u2014\u2014 A \u2014 OUTDOOR DEPARTMENT Hunters in Many Lands.VIL\u2014IN YELLOWSTONE PARK.noon rose glomus! hn grass WN with vost and présenta we the covotes howl ny demi y one tance, Our wagon store 3n epace among forest trees, and os Very stump and stone, so tie possibility shoul there te oars when the bears arrived tho stp.T rememter lonz would seem suddenly Cove, Heelf mio a bear.and then as myse.f, become a stump ain we had begun to despair ot be attack, two appeared saddenty in the me could not see where they had cou not dd thay make the sigan but there they were.at as elephants.Le large bu tu =!

And while engaging in the exercises of the sanctuary we do not always rise to triumphant mastery over ourselves, for we let our thoughts wander away to the shop, or the office, or the factory.We do not sufficiently \u2018study to be quiet\u2019 When we present ourselves before the throne of grace in this frame of mind, though we sing the hymns with the voices of angels, we bid Christ depart.Yea, we are driving him forth from his own temple, and our worship is but a vain show and empty mockery.\u2018Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.\u201d Let us, %hen, tre- member there is no half-way house in Christian experience.À man must either receive or reject the Christ.Consciously or unconsciously a man bids Christ stay or depart.We cannot retain our hold upon God and at the same time indulge the flesh.We cannot be loyal to Christ and at the same time comprom'se the devil.And this is where Christian people often make a mistake.We do not commit the great, glaring, revolting sins of which some are capable.For such do not appeal to us.We shudder at the thought of them.Put we slacken our zeal in the Christian life and warfare.we cease to grapple earnestly with the sins that so easily beset us.Then our faith wanes and we sink into stolid indifference, WHAT THE.CHRISTLESS LIFE LOSES.Lastly, consider for a moment how much these foolish Gadarenes missed in beseeching Christ to leave their shores.He had gone to them on a divine mission.to lighten their darkness, to reveal to them new and more gracious ideas of God, to show them the blessedress and sanctity of a consecrated life.He went with a message that would invest life with a deeper meaning, that would cause the common things of life to take upon themselves a fresh beauty, and would filI' the minds of men with joy and peace.In bidding him depart they destroyed their happy prospects by thwarting his mie- sion.We aleo.in our endeavors to be loyal to Christ and compromise the devil, with our two faces (one fixed upon the Christ-life, the other seeking to gain some material advantage), shut out the Master and bid him depart we not onlv display our folly and base ingratitude, but we do ourselves an \\incalculable wrong.And instead of going \u2018from etrength to strength.\u2019 in Christian ces and virtues, we sink lower and ower in the scale of being.Let us, then, remember that lip service is as vain as it is foolish.Only he who doeth the will enters the kingdom.Our deeds, our thoughts, our lives as a whole, must correspond to our Christian profession.And as we earnestly seek to press along life\u2019s journey in a victorious way, may we more and more realize that: We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths; In feelings.not in figures on a dial.We should count time by heart-throbs.He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.THE MONTREAL CENTRAL

Mrs.T.G.Williams.Miss Walker, the president, presided at the regu- kar meeting.The report of the evangelistic department was given by the superintendent, Mrs.John Murphy.During the month 145 visits had been made to the deserving poor and sick.The great need for a Protestant Home for lncura- bles was emphasized.The gift of eighty jars of honey and jellies irom the Cha- tea y Basin Union, was

OBSERVER ON FRENCH AND ENGLISH METHODS OF BRINGING UP., À German newspaper writer comparing French and English children considers that there are serious faults in the bringing up on both sides of the Channel, but on the whole gives the preference to the French.He speaks with great admiration of the number of patks in London and of the freedom allowed the children to romp over the grass.There are no playgrounds in Paris, he says; there are many beautiful public gardens in the city, but through these tee children parade in prim, subdued style like a lot of stunted grown-ups.The London child, in fact, enjoys a liberty such as the Parisian youngster never dreams of.The management of children in England comes perilously near neglect; in France it is dangerous ly near coddling.A London child out at play feels that its playground is its own domain and resents the intrusion of parents or tutors, The French children are much cleaner and neater and more finished in manner.There is no place in the worid where children are so beautifully dressed as in Paris.They seem quite conscious of it, too, and proud of keeping themselves spick and span.They will sit or walk with their playmates for liours, amusing themselves in restrained, demure ways which do not impair their doll-like appearance.But from the physical point of view the English children have far the best of it.Their well nourished bodies, rosy cheeks, bright eyes and boisterous manners denote a much higher degree of vitality than the slight forms.sallow faces and tame demeanor of the Parisian youngsters.On the moral side, however, France is far ahead.The \u2018 freedom -of English child life has serious consequences, foremost among them being the decline of parental authority.It is no exaggeration to say that the English household where all the members do their duty and the children honor and obey their elde:- is an exception.It is altogether different in France.There the family is fast hound together.Each member feels that he 1s inextrica bly involved with all the others in mu tual obligations.The sons are devoted to their mother, the daughters reverence their father.the parent: tind the joy of their hearts in the children.and the children find happiness mm showing respect for their elders.Perhaps, says the critic.the keeping of children at home may lead to a nui- rower education, but the present Eng lish free will system tends to develop scatterbrains and ne'er-do-wells.Left to himself early and thrown en las own resources, the English boy is all 100 soon blasé.while the French boy brought uv under strict tutelage may remain too long childish in his views of the werid.Tre one becomes grown up prematurelx, the other a trifle too late.The two systems of bringing up have divergent faults.The

recognized as a leader in the res- {oration of ancient Irish hterature.Ia volume of poerns, published last year, excited wide comment.as representing more perfectly than the work of any other writer the characteristic pathos and delicate imagination of the race.A second vo'ume has now appeared, \u2018Plays,\u2019 by WilFam B.Yeats (The MacMillan Company of Canada.81.73).The author fecls that Irish dramatic poetry cannot vet be sure of an understanding and sympathetic audience, so he accompanies the plays bv both prefatory and appended notes.The subjects of his drames are ancient Irish stories and mythe with all their {airy lore.Most of them, he says, are found in Lady Gregory's \u2018Gods and fighting men\u2019 and \u2018Cuchulain of Muir- themue.published since the writing of his plays.He offers a defence of his subjects.which indeed differ widely from accepted dramatic ideals: \u2018Dramatic art If a method of expression, and neither a hair hreadth escape nor a lobe affair more befits it than the passionate ex-, position of the most delicate and strange intuitions.\u201d He foresees a great future for the Irish theatre.which will be above a'l \u2018a theatre of speech\u2014for I would re- tore the whole ancient art of passionate speech.\u201d The Abbey Theatre in Dublin has been built for the National Theatre Society.and the plays of Yeats and his iellow-dramatist< are being presented according to the principles this society lays down.The stage scenery is \u2018little more than à suggestion\u2014a pattern with recurring boughs and leaves of gold for a word, a great green curtain, with a red stencil upon ity to carry the eye upward for a palace.and so on.The centre of the art is to be \u2018fine speaking.\u201d To this i= added the art of recitation\u2014declama- ton and reeitative, partly musical, and \u2018-enges that are made for the words\u2019 sake and not for the music or for that only im a >ccondary degrec.I hear with older car than the musican and the songs at people and sailors delight He refers to Miss Farr's experiments along this line: Her experiments bave every Kind of verse, and every possible country me elaboratian of sound Compatible with the supremacy of words.I do not think Honer is ever wo moving as when \u201cshe recites to him a little tune played on a «tringed instrument, not very unlike a lyre .We have tried our art since we firet tried it in a theatre, upon many kinds of audiences, and have found that ordinary men and women take pleasure in it and sometimes tell one they never understood poetry before.Fhe plays in this volume are all written for the stage and have all been played with success in Dublin and some of them \u2018n London and New York.They are «ix in number.The first, and by far the longest, \u2018The Countess Cathleen.\u2019 first appeared in Dublin in 1899.Of its appearance he says: .They had to face a very vehement opposition .accusing me .o! blasphemy because of the language of the demons in the first act, and hecauce I made a woman sell her soul and yet escape damnation, and of a lack of patriotism because I made Irish men and women, who it açems never did such a thing, sell theirs.The plot is weird and not, by the way, at all profane.In a time of famine in Ireland two demons appear disguised as merchants who buy their souls from the peasants for gold wherewith to obtain food.The Countess gives her steward money to seek food for the people and save their souls.The demons steal her treasure to prevent her continuing to do no.Finully the Countess sells her own wot] for a sufficiently large sum to eave the rest of her people.She soon sickens and dies.While her foster mother and harper hewail her fate there is a terrific storm.In a flash of lightning they see armed angels.The harper seizes one and demands to know the truth about the Countess.The answer was the cause of hottest attack on the play: The lights beat down: the gates of pearl are wide, And she is paecing fo the floor of peace, And Mary of the seven times wounded heart Has kissed her lips, and the long blessed bair Has fallen ou her face; the light of Love Looks always en the motive, not the deed, The Shadow of Shadows on the deed alone.included almost: .\u2018 \u201cThe Shadowy Waters\u201d and \u201cThe Land of Heart's Desire\u201d have a good deal of incidental Irish folk-lore and mythology but are not founded opm any particular story.In the former the ancient custom of \u201cwaking\u201d and \u201ckeening\u201d for the dead finds a place.These are as necessary for the spirit\u2019s rest as burial among the Greeks.so even the pirate sailors feel bound to perform the rites for the man they have slain.They join in the wail of the widowed Dectora, \u201cQ! O! O! for the golden-armed Iollan.\u201d In \u2018The Land of Heart\u2019s Desire\u201d the peasants express their fear of the fairies, especially their unwillingness to call them by that name or to give them milk or fire.Maire Bruin, a young bride, brings trouble on the house to which ehe has been brought by fulfilling all three conditions and co giving the \u201cgood people\u201d power over it.A fairy child appears and in spite of the efforts of her husband, his family and the priest, the bride is called away and answers \u201cI wili go with you.\u201d The child then says: Then follow: but the heavy body of clay And clinging mortal hope must fall from you For we who ride the winds, run on the Waves, : And dance upon the mountains, are more light Than dewdrope on the banners of the dawn.Maire dies, the child vanishes and the play ends with the music of spirit voices outside the cottage, 0 The dialogue betweén the bride and the summoning fairy is a marked example of Mr.Yeats's skill.But almost cqually in every play the beauty of his language is a great part of the charm which casts a spell over the reader.The last play, \u2018Deidre\u2019 deals with a well-known legend.It is simpler than the others, and has no explanation or comment in the notes.As a play to be Tead it will be more easily appréciated than the others, which require some sWdy 10 gain an adequate idea of their value.King Couckabar falls in love with the young Deirdre and fixes a marriage day.A month before the day, however, young Naisi, son of Nousch, carries her off.They are banished for mix years, till the King summons them to return, pretending.to forgive them.They return to the appointed place, a lodge in the forest.Warned too late that treachery is intended, Naisi is slain and the King demands Deirdre, as his promised bride.Under pretext of prepat- ing his body for burial, Deirdre enters the alcove whore Naisi lies slain and kills herself.The King bitterly exclaims: \u2018She has deceived me for a second time, and every coumuon man may keep his wife, but not the King.\u2019 Friends of Naisi surround the lodge, threatening Couchabar.His own men gather about him, but he motions them away: I have no need of weapons.Howl if you will but I,» being king, right In choosing her most fitting to be queen And letting no boy lover come between.MORE BOOKS OF VERSE.\u2018The Last Robin,\u201d by Ethelwyn Wetherald.(Wm.Briggs), contains some of the choicest short poems and sonnets by this well-known Canadian writer, Many of them sing of nature in her varied moods, raining as well as sunshiny, and of the beauty and joy of do bird and flower._ In these as well as\u2019 in the more purely reflective poems there is generally a touch of melancholy meditation.Nature is made to sympathize with the pensive element in man.I heard the ploughman sing in the wind, And sing right merrily, As down in the cold of the sumnless mould The grasses buried he.And now the grasses sing in the wind, Merrily do they sing: While down in \u2018the cold of the sunless mould Is the ploughman slumbering.What Love anticipates may be in flower, What Love possesses may be thine an hour, \u2019 But redly gleam in life\u2019s unlit Decembers What Love remembers.Among the most musical ag well as imaginative of this choice collection of verses are, \u2018Earth's Silences,\u201d \u2018The Snow- Fall,\u201d and \u2018 The Birds\u2019 Hour.The world at noon belongs to the sun, At eve to the home-coming herds, But while the dew is pearly\u2014very, early\u2014 The world belongs to the birds.As still as in a dream lie the mpadow and the stream \u2018Neath the soaring and outpouring of the birds.\u2018 The Toiler and Other Poems,\u201d by Wil- very dam J.Fischer, (Wm.Briggs), is a handsomely gotten up volume of short poems.The writer is one of the most vigorous of young Canadian poets, and many of these verses show fine choice of words and command 3F Metre, dis well as tender imagination.He is one of the poets of everyday things.Motherhood and infancy afford him the theme for a number of poems.White lamb, from a great Father's mighty fold, j told by THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS White star upon the year's stained, darkened blue, White lily \u2019mid li\u2019e\u2019's rosemary and rue\u2014 White child's the e&weetest treasure in love\u2019s gold.Two small bright eyes, two little hands, two feet, A voice that croons se luetily\u2014 These were the gifts flung \u2018rom God's pure white hand That made the crown of motherhood complete.Mr.Fischer's felicity of expressing delight in Nature, is well shown in \u2018Twilight,\u201d beginning : Bevond the purple hills afar, Upon her throne of crimson sweet, She sites, bright-eyed; bold courtiers are The shadows gay that kiss her feet.White, passing clouds glad build for her A marble palace not of earth; And now she waits her worshipper\u2014 The lordly moon of eastern birth.Last to Canadian be considered in this trio from poets is a pretty gift booklet of verse, \u201cAutumn Leaves, by M.À.Maitland, (Wm.Briggs).The title is from the first poem, beginning : Over the earth they drift to-day Gold and crimson and russet brown, Flecked and apattered as though in play Nature had thrown ber colors down.The lines \u2018To a Wood Thrush,\u2019 (singing in the early morn), are a good example of Mrs.Maitland\u2019s work : Sing on, glad heart, thy matin songs, Sing on, &ing on! Since silence lies on kindred tongues, Since the wide air to thee belongs, Since \u2018twas thy Maker taught thy art, Sing on, glad heart.A considerable volume of verse is \u2018Jacob and Other Poems,\u2019 by Caroline \u2018M.Butterfield.(The World Supply and Publishing Company.) There are two long poems, the first a metrical rendering of the history of the Patriarch Jacob, the other an imaginative poem describing the search for a soul through the realms of space.The metre of these two poems is heavy and difficult to sustain, and the author is more pleasing in the shorter poems.There is a series on Westminster Abbey, and another of religious poems.In these last she is most successful.A good example is entitled, \u2018 There Is No Loss.\u2019 There is no loss: the flowers that fade Have left their sweetness in our hearts, And bloom again when winter's shade, And winter's biting chill departs.There is no loes.The severed ties Of olden triendshipe, loved ones gone, Have served their sacred destinies In hearts to nobler living won.ALSO RECEIVED.\u2018How Are You

Budget: A Study of Standards and Cost of Living in New York City by Louise Bolard More, is the account of a systematic attempt to reach a conclusion as to the minimum yearly wage on which an average family can live, and a survey of the actual conditions existing in a certain section of the city.The experiment was made of following the fortunes for a time of some twp hundred families in this section, and as the selection limited the investigations to a certain class, they fall In so far short of the whole question.The book is of the greatest interest, although it is with a dubious feeling that one sees the minimum yearly competent resource of a family of five placed as low as $728, this being, nevertheless, an advance on previous estimates.The publishers are Henry Holt & Co.and there 1s a preface by Professor Franklin H.Giddings.The two sides of the question, views diametrically opposed, are offered in two books recently published, \"Sin and Society\u2019 (Houghton, Mifflin & Co.).by Edward A.Ross, professor of sociology in the University of Wisconsin, and \u201cThe Raid on Prosperity\u2019 (D.Appleton & Co.), by James Roscoe Day.chancellor of Syracuse University.It is not difficult fo tell from the titles the position taken by each.Chancellor Day's hotheaded defence of the systems of amassing wealth in present operation in the United States, the corporation methodes so gravely called into question by upholders of the old school of honesty, is in unfavorable contrast to Professor \u2018Ross's earnest study with its deductions at times approaching pessimism.It is impossible to go into either fully here, but the publication of two such hooks about the same time is rather singular.ISSAYS.There is no surprise awaiting the reader who thinks he knows just what to

of culture as well as for the educator.In the form of pleasing little essays the author discusses the use of language.Nhe traces the growth of idioms and compares our speech of to-day with old English
