of the great surpluses Mr Fielding accumulates in his capacity of minister of finance.The situation was quite happy, till a fellow with more curiosity than courtesy, wanted to know why, with such surpluses to his credit, Mr Fielding was always borrowing money in England.Mr Graham did not repiy.Mr Fielding\u2019s surp.us claims and borrowings are things that cannot be made to agree.Sherbrooke,

two older ones, being badly burned én doing so.In spite of his burns he wont back with Pothier for the third.The latter secured her and carried her out, he too suffering several bad burns.Had not these men taken their lives in their hands and entering the burning building a triple tragedy would have resulted.During next year the government will expend $500,000 in military schools on their

Aug.18.\u2014The Do- minion conference of the Metho-, dist church, row in session here, was Visited by Sir WiMrid Laurier i n a glowing tribute to the late Sir John A.Macdonald, saying he was worthy of being called \u201cgreat.\u201d Speaking of the work done by the chureh, Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the aim of a politician was the welfare of the country and the aim of the church was the welfare of the whole human race.Canada was the star of the world.In his trip he had met those who spoke of England and France, and Scandinavia and other European coud- tries, as well us those who came from the American republic, but he had not met anyone who was not trying to build wp a happy and prosperous Canada.He had also found that all the churches were ai work to make good citizens, and was delighted to recognize the broadening spirit of Christianity which marked the people of Canada.At the close of Sir Wilfrid's address the conference rose and sang the national anthem.Ottawa, August 21 \u2014 fon.Frank Oliver, who is back from atrip duwn the Mackenzie river from Fd- monton to the Arctic ocean, declared that there is fine land in the far north of western Canada.1 made the trip to get an idea of the north country, and to sec il we have there land suitable for oecu- pation by civilized men, I returned convinced that when the prairies have been settled Canada has 4 northern area almost as large to offer for settlement, perfectly sati:- factory so far as climate is concerned, for purposes of agriculture.I was astonished to find luxurious vegetation near to the Aretic Circle at Prince Rupert, and at Fort Mac- pherson.Potatoes were growing well at Cirele City and at Eagle.Cablbagez were in fine condition :n the Yukon, while Dawson is a country of flowers.It is a beautiful place, where a great deal of interest is taken in gardening.At every point at which we touched {rom Edmonton north as far as Fort Good Hope, which 1s within 16 miles of the Arctic Circle, vegetables were grown, and grown successfully.There is a good crop every year, Iam told, Spruce of a splendid size grows on the Mackenzie delta, suitable for gawing, and not at All of the stunted growth one might expect to tind in the north.The Mackenzie is a beautiful river, two miles wide, with gravel banks, and the country along it looks well.I came back satisfied that in Canada there is no danger of our steppingover our limit in séttling the north for several hundred miles yet.À large area of the north country will have to be reclaimed and cleared, but in so far as climate is concerned conditions are worthy of close attention as am field for settlement.Newfoundland papers tell of the celebration at Harbor Grace of the tercentenary of the arrival of John Guy and the first English colonists.UNITED

combines and monopolies and an increased money supply, are the three substantial causes for the advance in prices in the United States, according to the minority members of the select senate committee, appointed during the last session of congress to.investigate and make a report on wages and the prices of commodities.The result of protection, they declare, is \u201cgreat fortunes for the few and great sulfering for the many.We believe,\u201d they say, \u201cthat the amount of the tariff is added #o ihe price and taxed to the consumer; that but for the tarifi commodities we buy up on which that tax is laid would he cheaper, approximately, to theex- tent of the tariff; and that when we do not buy the importedarticie the protected manufacturer puts approximately the amount of iton

solely to the heroism of the women of the town, who, while the male population was fighting the advance of the conflagration, guarded their homes and the business houses, extinguished a number «fi

bad been an invalid for a long time rarely leaving her room, where she passed the time in a half- pecumbent position, her death was somewhat unexpected.Her funeral will be as quiet as possible, in accordance with her wishes, made during recent years.Owing to her feebleness and advanced age, Miss Nightingale has received but few visitors.On May 12 last she celebrated her 90th birthday, and was the recipient of a congratulatory message from King George.\u201cHow many people know what King George's real surname is?\u201d If his majesty were to be deprived of all his titles and reduced to the rank of commoner, he would be known simply as Mr Wettin.The counts of Wettin were the founders of the Prince Consort's ancient house of Saxe-Cobourg.The Prince Consort\u2019s name was Wettin, just as Queen Victoria was by birth a Guelph, and she became a Wettin on her marriage.Thus the present King\u2019s real name lis George Wettin.pe Montreal, August 22.\u2014Altho the supply of cattle was much

Where's Emma?Brooks told her that she had gone out for a few minutes.\u201cWho with?\u2019 demanded Mrs.Harris promptly.\u201c1 think she went alone.\u201d \u201cYou think she went alone! Don't sou know?1 don\u2019t see Low you dare let your wife go out aloue in this part of New York at this time of night.\u201d \u201cWell, nobody stole you,\u201d growled Joe, \u201cso 1 guess Emma \u2018ll get home safely.Something has probably detained her.That's all 1 know about it.1f she wants to tell you more when she comes that's her business, not mine.\u201d \u201c1 certainly do not approve of her being out without a proper escort.It isn\u2019t ladylike.\u201d \u2018What I want to know is, where did she go?\" insisted her mother.Brooks turned upon her, and an oath almost escaped him as he snarled: \u201cYou want to know a good many things, byt it seems to me that a man and his wife cap have some privacy.1 told you she went on business.If she wants to tell you, all right, but don\u2019t try to mother-in-law it out of me!\u201d The entrance of Emma and Smith stopped on Mrs.Harris\u2019 lips tbe wrath- fui retort that had risen to them.She rose and greeted her daughter with an alr of maternal sollcitude.\u201cAh, there you are, dear! Where have you been?We've been so worried.\u201d \u201cI am a little late.\u201d \u201cWe were wondering about you, and Joe wouldn't tell,\u201d said Beth.Smith reassured them, \u2018\u201c was taking care of Emma all Mght,\u201d he declared.\u201cYou see I'm a sert of utility man with the ladies\u2014 always trailing along in the reag.ready to touch my cap and do all the chores and errands necessary.\u201d Emma had taken no notice of her busband, whose eyes Irom the moment of her appearance had been glued avidly upon ber.There was nothing in her demeanor to indicate that she bad succeeded.Indeed, she appeared haggard and worn out, as she was, for the emotions of the night bad eft her exhausted to the point of breaking down.His anxiety and apprehension increased as he marked her condition.\u201cWhere did you meet her?\u2019 he demanded of Smith, with an effort.\u201cOn the way home,\u201d he answered.Emma went to Mrs.Harris and put her arm around her.\u201cMother, I'm very tired tonight,\u201d she said appealingly.\u201cYou won't mind if X ask you to go home and leave me.N're something to tell you some time, but I want to be alone now.\u201d \u201cYou do look all tuckered out, Emma,\u201d commented Beth.\u201cI am.You won't mind, will you, mother?\u201d \u201cCertainly not.I'm hot and sticky mysell.\u201d \u201cI'll take you to the subway and put you on the car,\u201d volunteered Brooks, \u201cYou needn't mind,\u201d declined Mrs.Harris.\u201cYou're too disagreeable tonight.If you bring my purse from Xmma's room, Jimsy will take us.Won't you, Jimsy?' \u201cI'm still the utility man,\u201d responded the complaisant Smith as Brooks went on the errand.While Beth was putting ber mother's hat straight Mrs, Brooks whispered to Smith: \u201cTell mother as much as I told you and then come back.\u201d He nodded.: \u201cCome on, folks,\u201d he said as Brooks reappeared with the purse, \u201cYou know time and the subway walt for: no man.\u201d .Tortured by suspense, Brooks stood watching his wife.She bad sunk on to the sofa and sat there, still wearing her hat, the ple.ture of weariness and sorrow.The color came and went in his sunken cheeks.It was certaln from her attitude that her mission had fail ed, yet he feared to learn it from het lips.looked at her indig- She gave no indication of intention desire to break the silence or eves t she was aware of his presence.could bear it no Jonger.wouldn't do anything?It's af words escaped him tremulously, in ring tone, as though they an swered the interrogation.fhe 41d not reply, but, rising and drawing from ber bosom the pape Captain Williams had given her, band ed it to him, ;

detailed an- alysia of the pirths, deaths snd mar Flages in 1908 in Greut Britain hay just been issued.The specially interesting part of the book is that which deals with the marriage registers of

England and Wales is the evidence 1b bears io the increase in the death Yate for \u2018cancer.From 0.45 a thousand of the population\u2019 in'thd period of 1881-85 the rute rose t6 .00ÿ n the year 1908, the latter being the highest recorded.An international table of twenty countries is given in the report, and on this the Registrar-General says: \u201cThis country occupies an unenviable position with respect to mortal ity.from cancer, the rate in England and Wales being excesded in oxnly titg Furopean countries\u2014viz., Switzerlan and the Netherlands.Scotland occu pies a slightly

agricultural settlements, but they did nov get along well with either the Argentine Government\u2014the Argentine owns Patagonia\u2014or the priests.The Welshmen wanted to come to Canada, and Lloyd-George, Rces and Griffith were to spy out the land.They went west with-W.D.Scott, nuw Superintendent of Immigration, and had a buckboard trip from Regina northwest to near where Suskatoon now stands.The Welsh settlement, as Lloyd- Gcorge wanted it established, came to naught.The {future Chancellor of the Exchequer had a few stipulations which didn\u2019t suit either Clifford 8ii- ton or W.D.Scott.One of them was that the Welshmen were to be given a big slice of territory which they were to own and govern.Welsh was to be the only language used, and English-speaking settlers were to be barred.The Minister of the Interior promptly turned down this proposal, but an arrangement was arrived ut under which some: hundreds of the Patagonian Welshmen' were brought to Canada as ordinary settlers.Joseph Chamberlain, then Colonial Secretary, was asked by Lloyd-George to finance the journey, but answered that Her Majesty's Government was not in tho Lusincsa of paying emigration expenses.Finally seme wealthy Welshmen supplied the necessary funds for those who wanted to come north.In the interval many had changed their minds and slayed where they were.When in Ottawa on the return trip from their tour, Lloyd-George and Rees became very friendly with the Canadian newspaper correspondents.The man who is now one of the three or four inosY prominent figures in the Empire Was

he has since carried on exten sively in conjunction with farming.He has been for no less than forty years in political life, and always a supporter of the Libéral party.In 1890 he waa appointed the isiand'a first \u2018Commissioner of Agriculture, and also Provincial Secrctary-Treasurer, The influenee of his cfforts to improve agricultural methods is still felt in the province.Mr.Rogers was as-° social with Premier Farquharson and Bon.R.C.McLeod on the delegation to Ottawa to press the claims of the island concerning the alleged non-fulfiltment of the terms of Cou federation with respect to'winter communication with the mainland.In 1903 Mr.Rogers took part with Premier Peters and Hon.Mr.Weir in the conference of provincial Premiers that dealt with the fishery award and re distribution
