was & Congregationalist, but cireum- stances led her to the Methodist Church, until her coming to Derby Line, when she attended with her husband and daughters the services of the Stanstead Soath Congregational ! Church.But so intimate and cordial were her relations with all Christian work that it was not surprising to notice at the tuneral on Wednesday, a very large numcer of ministers from both sides of the boundary line.| Among those were noticed, Rev Dr.\u2019 Flanders, (i.8.Clendinnen, McDer- mott, Aikius, Holmes, Blodgett and.W.R.Harvey.The funeral services were begun at | the house, where many friends had gathered, and were conducted by Rev.| W.R.Harvey of the Congregational, Church and Rev.Geo.8.Clendinnen | of Stanstead Methodist Church.After | reading of the usual Scriptures, and, prayer by Mr.Clendinnen, Revs.W., R.Harvey gave a short address.| The cortege then proceeded to the! cemetery at Derby Center, where the.interment took place, in the family plot, where already one of the two children born to Mr.and Mrs.Fletcher lies.One daughter therefore survives her mother in the person of Mrs.C.L.F.Bryant.There were many choice flowers, among which lilies and roses with cor- nations predominated and these spoke in beautiful accents of the love and respect in which the departed lady was held by the community.GEORGEVILLE.Mr.M.Burbank of Boston, a Georgeville boy, was here for a few days, last week, to see about some repairs to be done to his place here, the Burbank house.The friends of Mrs.(Rev.)

ere.tral EE ca .\u2014 vases z HOTBEDS.Hew Made and How Managed-Now's the Time.A hotbed is practically nothing more than a board edged pit in which there 18 fermenting manure covered with several inches of soil.The top of the botbed is roofed with sashes, which usually measure about 3 by 6 feet each.At night a straw or other mat is laid over the glass to keep out the cold.The space between the soll and the glass must nowhere measure less than about six inches in the start, The soil will sink as the manure ferments.Hotbeds are usually made of inch boards.If the boards on the back of the frame are twelve inches above ground those in front should be several inches lower, thus giving a slant to the sashes.If two or three good coatings of gas tar are applied hot to the inside of the boards which come in contact with the earth it will help to preserve them from decay, The boards, however, must be perfectly dry before coating with tar.About the latter part of February or the beginning of March, collect under SECTION OF HOTBED.shelter some strawy -manure and let it heat for about a week before using, turning it occasionally.Select a sunny (southeast) exposure for the hotbed.The pit for the hotbed may be oue to three feet deep.Good drainage is essential, It is the practice of some gardeners to make the bed entirely above ground.In that case the frame should be at every point about a foot inside the edge of the manure heap.An inch or two of coarse stuff is put at the bottom of the bed, and upon this eighteen inches to three feet of horse manure.Next comes a layer of leaf mofd and on top four or five inches of fine garden loam.The manure should be trodden down HEALTH FOR THE HOG.Disease Prevented by Sanitary Housing and Feeding.By GEORGE M.ROMMEL, bureau of animal industry.Hogs must be given dry and well ventilated quarters, which must be kept clean.Contrary to common belief, hogs have some habits which raise them above other domestic animals from the standpoint of cleanll- ness, Jor example, unless compelled to do so, a hog will not sleep in its own filth.If part of the floor of the pen is raised and kept well bedded with straw, while the rest is not, all excrement will be left on the unbed- ded portion of the floor, and the bed itself will always be clean.Feeding and drinking places should be clean and the water supply pure.Unless the origin is known to be uncontaminated and there hus been no possibility of infection during the course hogs shoyld not be allowed access to streams.Wal lows should be kept filled up as much ns possible.At least once a month the quarters should be disinfected with air slaked me or a 5 per cent solution of crude ecarbolic acld, If a hog dies from any cause the carcass should be burned or buried and the pens thoroughly disinfected at once, Breeding and Feeding.While inbreeding is the surest and uickest means to fix type, the system weakeus vitality unless very carefully followed, For this reason closely inbred hogs are more susceptible to cholera than those whose constitutions have not been impaired by the system, The straight corn diet which many hogs receive from one year's eud to the other also lessens vitality, and the researches of the Wisconsin experiment station have shown that this is probably brought about by actually retarding the development of the vital or gans, A minimum inbreeding and a varied diet, including, especially for breeding stock, ample range, will therefore better enable the herd to resist the attacks of disease, Isolated Houses.The advantage of a number of small portable houses, each accommodating a few hogs, rather than one large piggery for the eutire breed, has been discovered by many breeders.In districts where cholera Is prevalent these are undoubtedly the best shelters.They make it more difficult to carry \"contagion to all animals in the herd, and the destruction of one of them in case of an outbreak does not entail a great expense.An added advantage is that they may be moved from place to place as needed.While more work is necessary in feeding, the convenience aud safety from their use more than offset this disadvantage, TRANSPLANTING ONIONS, in layers about six inches thick.\u2014Farm | When the Seedlings Are Ready-\u2014Cule Journal.EARLY LAMBS, For Profit They Must Be Kept Moving Rapidly Along.First decide upon what you wish to raise, early or late lambs.Have an ob- Ject in view, and work to attaln that object.The early lamb will cost you tivating and Fertilizing.As soon as the onions are about as thick as a lead pencil dig up carefully with a digging fork to obtain as many roots as possible, shearing about four inches of top growth and packing in \"flats or baskets with wet sphagnum .Inoss to save from wilting.The young plants are now transferred to their permanent quarters as soon as possi- more intelligent labor and feed than | le, planting in well enriched ground in the late lamb, but if environments are drills about three inches deep and six- favorable and you have a good market | teen inches apart, for Prize Taker for early lambs you will find them the ! six inches apart in the row and for most profitable.Now, if you have de- others four inches apart.After trans- cided in favor of the early lamb, first ' planting the soil is well firmed and wa- of importance is the selection of

LIVES?Telling Comparison Instituted Between Methods Which Obtain In England With Those In Evidence In Canada \u2014Ccrnadians Without Privacy\u2014The Quick Change Feoder\u2014How John Bull Wisely Mixes Pleasure With Business.Writing in an English paper on the science of living in Canada as compared with England, J.D.F.says: If there is one thing a Canadian vialt- ing England has vividly impressed upon him, it is what he styles the science of living in the old land In Canada one encsunters perhaps less formalism and red tape, there 1s a glorious freshness ahd optimism about everything; you admire the breezy phrase and the wonderful \u201cgo-ahead- Iveness,\u201d if I may be allowed the word.But when Johnnie Canuck gets home you will hear him end his glowing talk about Canada \u201cknocking the sp ts off Fngiand\u201d with the remark, \u201cAll the same.they have life down to a sclence in the old country.and when l've made my pile that's where I'm golng to live.\u201d It isn\u2019t hard to see why this English \u201cscience of living\u201d is so attractive to the Canadian.1lomes as artistic and even more comfortable than those of England abound in every Canadian town, but the sheltered garden, no matter how small, to which the Englishman retires to rest his jaded nerves and escape from the eyes of a ton prying world, is almost as rare in Canada as a Kohinoor d.amond.Canada Frowns on Privacy.Cani™ian public opinion frowns down on privacy.\u201cIf you have a pretty bit of garden, why not let the public have the benefit of it?\u201d ix the remark you will hear on all sides.If you persist with your hedge or wiil you will be taunted with exclusiveness, and it will hurt you in your business.So far is this war against privacy carried that In the majority of gardens even an iron railing six Inches high is not to be met with, and the finest velvet lawn lies defenceless in sheer exposure to the street, Then, take the telephone.As soon as you return to Canada you hear how far ahead it is of the mother land in the use of telephones.The telephone there Is certainly everywhere.The man getting hardly £150 a year will have it in his house, but, with all {t3 convenience, it becomes a nuisance when the woman who lives in the shanty across the road insists upon using it, and you hate to be unneighborly enough to be refusing it all the time.If there is one thing which the Canadian enjoys in his English trip it is the leisurely way the Englishman eats his dinner.In Canada, driven by the electrically charged climate, the meals, and especlally the midday one, are eaten with wolfish haste.Indigestion.of course, abounds, and the doctors and the patent medicine men get rich upon it.As an illustration, I happened to he the other day in a friend's office at the lunch hour.He is accounted a prosperous man on the Stock Exchange, and quite comfortably situated financially.\u201cCome out and have lunch with me,\u201d he said.I agreed, and, taking the lift, we dr pped four storeys, ran across the street, took another lift upstalrs, and found ourselves finally in a lunch room full of well-dressed men and uniform- vd attendats.The Quick Change Feeder.My friend ordered soup, fish, lamb and apple tart for both of us.Well, I had just got nicely into my fish as my friend was devouring the last sp onful of his tart.Seeing his hurry, and unagining that he had some big financial scheme tormenting him, I remarked that I wasn\u2019t hungry, and with a laugh at my small appetite we rose from our seats.Again we took the ft, rushed across the street, up the lift on the other side.and back into the office.Glancing at the ciock I saw that, meal and all, we had been away exactly 15 minutes, \u201cYou'll be busy now, old man,\" I said, \u201cand I'm off.\u201d \u201cNot at all,\u201d was the reply.\u201cI always allow myself a ciear hour at lunch time,\u201d and, handing me a cigar, he tilt ed back his chair, and with his feet upon his desk, we \u2018talked on all the topics of the day for three-quarters of an hour longer.Another novelty to the Insular Eng- Hshman is the unshackled freedom of the press.The Canadian editor is as wide awake as the Yankee journalist, and as a rule far better informed on all world matters.He is ably backed up by a large staff of well-educated, tireless and hawk-eyed reporters, who have the entrance into every home, no matter at what hour of the day or night.About the second day of my arrival I was stopping with a friend of mine whose father was quite ill with influenza.About 2 o'clock in the morning we were rudely awakened by a violent tugging at the door bell.Outside were two young reporters.They sald that a local politiclan had dled an hour before, and learning that my friend's father had been at school with him, the l editor had sent them up to interview him.My friend sald that his father was down with a bad attack of influenza, and at his age of 75 he didn't like to disturb him.The reporters, hqwever, were not to be shaken off, and were accordingly admitted.In a few minutes the old gentleman shuffled into the room in slippers and dressing gown, and, having ordered whiskey and cake for his persecutors, gave them the information that they wanted.John Bull's Greater Wisdom.Where le the Canadian who isn't In love with the way the Englishman mixes pleasure with his daily business?He may laugh at John Bull's alleged slowness the first month he arrives, but then the question forces itself to his mind whether the mad rush he Is accustomed to at home is really, after all, the wisest way of spending the only visit he will ever make to this glorious planet.The general absence of leisure in Ca- nadlan life as a consequence creates a craving hunger for some form of me- teor-like excitement, whatever the cost may be, The tolling washerwoman as an antidote to her hard life leaves all bills unpaid to buy a bicycle on the instalment plan, and the bailiff, calling on some tenant badly in arrears, finds him away on a steamboat excursion at the seaside.I once saw a woman who lived In a shanty, axe In hand, in her yard, chopping the woodwork off a wire mattress to get fuel for her dinner.An hour later, in a fine tailor-made blue serge suit, she was spinning along the city streets upon her up-to-date bicycle.The mattress had to be sacrificed In order to keep down the coal bill and make a presentable appearance in the public thoroughfares.Canadians believe that there is a magnificent destiny before their country, There is plenty of justification for this view.For a short time some luxuries will be wanting, but there are so many grand compensations that these temporary drawbacks sink quite into the background.TENTS FOR PATIENTS, Treatment of Consumption in Perth County\u2014Mr.Horald\u2019s Report.The report presented at the recent meeting of the Perth County Council by Mr.Herald of Tavistock, chairman of the Committee on the Prevention and Cure of Consumption, deserves more than passing notice.The County of Perth was one of four counties grouped together to consider the wisdom of establishing and conducting a sanitar- jum for the cure of patients within the group.Mr.Herald reported against the proposal, because he sald to be successful a sanitarium must be conducted on the latest and most scientific methods, with specialists and trained nurses in attendance and general surroundings of the very best.The expenses necessar- ly would be enormous\u2014out of all proportion, he thought, to the revenue from the somewhat small population of a small group of countles.He therefore looked for a substitutional course for his county, and he found it in the use by patients of tuberculosis tents.He reported favorably on the work accomplished by the sanitoria at Graven- hurst, but the disposition and temperament of patlents varied so that even Gravenhurst fell short in accomplishing all that was desired in many cases.The Perth county grant to these instl- tutions had never been reciprocated by any one from the county, and this indicated that many would suffer till the end came, rather than enter as a free patient, and the expense to many was prohibitive.Again he realized that, with the young especially, home sickness, depression, and the constant sight of others in all degrees of illness ma- terlally undid the undoubted good these santtoria accomplished and in some cases turned the scale the other way.His proposal was then, that the County of Perth should buy and fit up tents, such as had already proved so successful in Stratford; that these tents should be rented at a nominal figure to applicants on the certificate of the county physician, and thereafter should be under the control of the local health officer.The advantage of this treatment.so noticeable in Stratford, was, he said, that the tent being in the back yard or lawn or elsewhere, adjoining the home, the patient still had fresh air and never lost the happiness of home.RARE CANADIAN STAMPS SOLD.Sold In New York City at Fairly Fancy Prices.The New York Times of Feb.24 says: The two rarest postage stamps of Canada were sold last evening when the collection of Hiram E.Deats, formerly president American Philatelic Association was disposed of.One of these was the twelve pence black adhesive stamp of Canada having a portrait of Queen Victoria and Issued in 1852.It sold for $102 to John A.Klemann.The other was the five-cent Connell stamp of New Brunswick.This is one of the most interesting of stamps, Charles Connell was the Postmaster- General of New Brunswick in 1860 and on May 15 he issued this stamp, which bears his own portrait, while the ten- cent stamp and the seventeen-cent stamp of the same issue had respectively, the portrait of Queen Victoria and the Prince of Wales, now King Edward VIL On account of the five-cent stamp being adorned with Conneli's portrait, the Government disapproved of it and ordered It to be destroyed.A few of ihe Connell stamps escaped destruction.There were two specimens of this stamp in the sale.One was an unused mended copy.with a few of the perforations cut close.It sold for $35.The other was a cancelled copy, in good condition.It fetchea $112, Influence of Architecture.The character of the people will reflect the character 6f public buildings, says The

$30,000, E.C.Roberts, g partner of Fletcher F.Bredin in the fur trading business in the north, and F.E, Maroney, arrived at Edmonton from Lesser Slave Lake on Feb.12 with one of the most valuable consignments of fur that have so far been brought down this winter.Between the two they had 38 packs altogether, valued approximately at $30,- 000, Mr.Bredin stated that the fur would probably be sold in Toronto, but 80 far no arrangements have been made for their disposition, E.C.Roberts, who has been up north all season and has had an excellent opportunity to observe, says that this year will go on record as a phenomenal one in the fur trade.There is more fur in the north, around the Lesser Slave Lake, where he is operating than he has ever seen before in all his ex- perlence and he states that reports brought in from away down the Mackenzie assure them that the same is true right to the Arctic Ocean.Sa far, Mr.Roberts says, the rabbits have lived through the winter very well and there is a probability that the fur plentitude will last into another year.By far the greater part of the value of the furs that they brought down is in lynx skins and as long as the rabbits last in their present number there will be plenty of lynx.Th# coyotes and timber wolves are getting very numerous, however, and are creating terrible havnoc among the game and fur-bearing animals.The coyntes kil! and drive out the foxes, and already they have made certain districts unprofitable that were last year and early this year good trapping grounds for foxes, Over toward the Peace River, in the moose country, the timber wolves are creating terrible havoc among the mooke, and there will be few of the calves live through the winter, Next winter, Mr.Raherts thinks there will be destitution among these Indians.For the present, however.the Indians all over the north, with the one exception of the Reindeer Indians who live away to the east of the Athabasca and Lesser Slave, are enj ying a season of unusual plenty, and are indulging in more flour at $7 a sack and more lux- urles than ever before.These Indians, who are the lonely ex- ceptign to the general prosperity In the north, live in the Reindeer country, way to the east of the regular line of travel from Edmonton, northward.The country inhabited by these Indians is the regular winter stamping grounds of the reindeer, and it is on them that the Indians depend for thelr winter food.These little animals, which legend has always endowed with wonderful traveling capacities, amply Justify the traditions in the Canadian north.In the summer time they graze in the extreme far north, around the mouth of the Coppermine River, and each fall they start\u2014usually about the middle of September\u2014for the south, migrating a total distance of about eight or nine hundred miles in straight line, or, as they would have to travel, more like 1,500 miles.Every once in a while the snow in the north country comes earlier or deeper than usuat and then the reindeer are unable to get to their usual winter feeding grounds, and when these seasons occur there is always destitution among the Indians who are waiting away down south for their arrival.This is what has happened in that country this winter, and before spring, unless the reindeer make their way through, there may be consider- abie starvation, among tHe Indians in that country.OVER MUCH OF LEARNING.Fancied Knowledge Kindles Discontent With Humbler and Happier Walks, - Let education have its full due.But let common sense have its due also.L-t education be real, so far as it goes; not superficial teaching of subject= which will never be of practical use, the study of which will never be pursued, and fancied knowledge of which can serve only to kindle restless ambition and discontent with the humble but happier walks of life, On unwise and unsuitable education English farmers in part lay the blame of that desertion of the country for the town, which is leaving rural England without hands to hold the plough, Some terms must be kept even with natural Justice.though Its strict claims may be set aside when public necessity commands.It is the natural duty of every man to provide education, as well as food and clothing, for the children whom, by his own act, he brings into the worlds and to tax one man for the education of another's children, while there may be urgent reasons for it, is a departure from natural Justice, espe- clally when the man who is taxed prefers, as many now do, and for substantial reasons, himseif to perform his parental duty.Crowded Professions.\u201cFormerly,\u201d says Lecky.\u201cthe best workman was\u2019 usually gontent to re- mainAn his class, and t bring up his children in it.He took a pride in his work, and by doing so he greatly raise ed its standard and character.His first desire is now, much more frequently, to leave it, or at least, to educate his children In the tastes and habits of a class which he considers a little higher than his own.That a man born in the humbler stages of society, who possesses the power of playing à considerable part in the world, should be helped to do so very desirable; but it is by no means desirable that the flower of the working class, or their children, should learn to despise manual labor and the simple, inexpensive habits of thelr parents, in order to become very commonplace doctors, attorneys, clerks, or newspaper writers.This is what js continually happening, and while it deprives the working classes of their best elements, It is one great cause of the exaggerated competition which now | falls with crushing weight on the lower levels of the intellectual profession, Goldwin Smith In Weekly Sun.ere Anti-Vacoinationists Win, The opponents of compulsory

Despatch It May Be Reopened For the Benefit of Americans.A London despatch intimates that negotiations will be opened for \u201ca more satisfactory settlement of the Paci sealing question.\u201d The item is evidently from an American source, for the United States is the only Interestea country that can hope for \u201ca more satisfactory settlement\u201d as the result of negotiations.It is true that the existing conditions are not perfectly satisfactory to anyone, but they are part}.cularly galling to the United States, The suggestion that the American Government might give Canada a share in the great seal Islands in Behring Sea 4s a most interesting one, and such an offer would, no doubt, be accepted; but ft is not credible that the United States would make such a concession, The policy of the republic is to give nothing.The sealing question has an intereg:- ing history, beginning, so far as Canada is concerned, when the United States acquired Alaska and the Aleutian Islands in Behring Sea.These islands are the great seal islands, op which the greatest of the worlds rookeries are established.The United States Government did not long retain control of the seals, but sold out to the Alaska Trading Co.which did a most profitable business.The company had the exclusive right to kill seals on the islands, but this privilege ânes not mean as much as might be inferred, on uc- count of the migratory habits of the seals.As is well known the seals swim hundreds and thousands of miles away from the home islands, and do not r- turn for months.It is only necessary for them to get to land when young seals are about to be born.At oth.times they are as much at home in th.sea as are flsh.Readers of Jack London\u2019s fine novel, \u201cThe Sea Wolf.\u201d wil\u2019 understand how sealers (called \u201cpelagic\u201d because they kill their game afloa: follow the seals, which travel in great shoals, and spear them by the thousani, leaving sadly depleted herds to mak-~ their way back to the Aleutian Isiand.-.| The practice of pelagic sealing, indulged in by sealers from many nations, chiefly by Canadians, entailed ; serious loss to the Alaska Trading Co.It therefore urged the American Gov- i ersment to come to its rescue.In a singularly irregular and precipitate manner the Government did so, by seizing several Canadian sealers.A pr- test was ai once lodged with the British Government, and there ensued a protracted period of negotiations.The American Government justified its action on the ground that the Behring Sea was a closed sea, and belonged to the United States.This contention, ir conceded, would Justify selzures in Behring sea, and would bar qut all Canadian vessels in future.Bul, ar some of the sealers had been seized hundreds of miles away in the Pacific, it became necessary to justify this action as well.Therefore the claim was put in that as the seals were born on American territory they were American seals, no matter where they were found.In short, they were like domes- \u2018tic animals that had strayed away, but as they only strayed in the high seas, no counterclaim of trespass couid be asserted.Naturally enough these theories wer very strongly opposed by the British Government, and by the Canadlan Minister of Marine at the time.The theory of the closed sea was disproved by the argument that the Aleutian Islands were more than six miles apart.It is & well-recognized principle of international law that a country owns the waters within three miles of its coast, Had the islands been within six miles from each other, the American claim would have been granted.As regards the seuls themselves, the British and Canadian argument was that the Americans had no more right to exclusive propriector- ship than had Canada in the case of th» Atlantic mackerel, which also com- ashore to breed.and then put tn sea to be caught by fishermen of all nationaii- ties.The international argument waxel flerce, the chief disputants being Lori Salisbury, Secretary of State Blain and Mr.Foster.By the opening of the next season no settlement had been reached, and Mr.Blaine took refuge in a \u201cbluff.\u201d He intimated that the United States was prepared to enforce it: claims, and that armed cruisers would be sent out to capture British or Canadian sealers.To this warlike communication Lord Salisbury promptiy replied that any such interference with vessels flying the British flag would be considered a casus belll, The British squadron at Victoria was sent north, and it appeared that the tw» great English-speaking countries were on the verge of war.The danger brought the American Government tits senses, and a request was mad- that the matter should be referred tn a court of arbitration.This was satisfactory.and an international hoari was appointed, which met at Paris in 1893, After several weeks\u2019 deliberations, the board decided against both of the United States\u2019 contentions.Neverthr- less, in the interests of the seal, it established a close season, and decreed that there could be no pelagic sealing within 60 miles of the Aleutian Islands.Under thls arrangement, the Canadian and American pelagic sealers were still able to kill many seals, and so the Alaska Trading Co.was dissatisfied.On several occasions since it has en-' deavored to have the whole question reopened.But the British and Canadian Government have steadily declined.The Paris treaty is stlll in force, and from what we know of the methods of the Alaska Trading Co.Canada would not be likely to secur\u201d es many advantages under any new arrangement satisfactory to this concern.No Chance to Kick.\u201cGracious!\u201d exclaimed the pretty girl as she returned to the parlor.\u201cPapa says he has been sitting in

share, at lead, of cur internal defence, by establishing a properly organized miiiiia, This m we was the initiation of the present militia system, the foundations for which were laid by the Act of 1855.Prior to that we had a militia service \u2014 a body of yeoman who had done splendid work in the defence of the country.But this service Was under the British officers, and was not, for it could not be, owing to the sparseness of settiement and the absence of the responsible system of government, a purely Canadian force.The Act of 1855 made the militla a charge upon the Government and the people of the united provinces.both regards the management and the cost of maintenance.Confedzration Influence.The C nfederation of the provinces and the establishment of the Dominion led to further acti by the Imperial authorities.It was l.d down as a rule that the British dependencies must take another step towards their own defence.Mr, Gladstone put the case very directly when he stated that no community can be said to enjoy the full blessings of freedom unless it has the liberty to provide for its own protection.The same statesman laid down the rule, which, in view of the then Government, ought to be ob- observed.He said the Br!tish North American colonies must defend them- But he did not mean by this that \u201cin case of danger the armies of England are not to be employed in aid of the colonial defences.\u201d \u201cOn the © contrary, every effort will be made by : Imperial | this country, in connection with Brit- Ish North America, to aid and protect the colonists from aggression.But that is a totally different matter from maintaining, by a large expenditure of money to be pald out of the British Treasury a defensive force in Canada.\u201d To the argument that the change in rol- icy would have some influence upon the connection Mr.Gladsione replied that: \u201cSo far from any tie being broken, I beileve that the connection between the Mother Country and the colonies will be closer than it would it we maintained a standing army In Canada for i its security.\u201d This notification was followed by the enforcement of the poilcy thus laid down.Departure of the Troops.At that time there was a large British force in Canada\u2014some 13,000 n-]- diers\u2014the Trent affair and the threat of invasion from the United States having necessitated precautionary measures, The troops, in accordance with the determination of the British authorities, were, except as regards the Halifax garrison, gradually withdrawn.In 1871 the last Imperial bat- talinn to garrison Quebec \u2014 the 60th Royal Rifles\u2014embarked, and from that date onwards all the military property, save that at Halifax and that afterwards created at Esquimalt, B.C., was passed over to Canada.It was during 1870 and 1871 that the fortifications and the munitions of war belonging to the Government passed to the care of Canadians.The New Fort at Toronto was the first place to be given up.That was passed over on July 15, 1870.The Old Fort was transferred on Sept.26, the same year.The Kingston fortifications came into our possession in September, 1870; the Montreal works In December of that year, and the great fortifications of Quebec on Dec.2, 1871.Two Remaining Strongholds.While the western forts were transferred to the new Dominion.the War Office kept control of the vast fortifications at Halifax and of those on the Pacific, These were held as they were related to the naval defence.in that they were protective of the dockyvards and the ships.The Halifax stronghold is one of exceptional interest.It is believed to be impregnable, and there is no place on the continent to equal it.That at Esquimalt is not so notable: but it has marvelous artillery.Its disappearing guns «f vast range render it Impossible for an enemy to approach ft from the sea.Our Financial Responsibility.The result was that the Imperial Government looked for another way by which the object aimed at, namely, the relief of the British taxpayer in so far as military expenses were concerned, could be achieved.And the passage to Canada of the right to bear the cost of her own garrisons is the plan adopted to enable us to share in the burden of Imperial defence.The transfer will cost us possibly a million and a half annually as pay for the garrisons, In addition to which we must keep everything in repair.and have on hand the necessary munitions of war.Some people think that the disappearance of the last regular soldier will affect our future, In that it makes for independence.But loyal Canadians will see to it that the relations of Canada towards the Crows are not injuétously affontad, ELECTRIC SMELTING.Br.Haanel's Message That It Has Prev: od a Great Success.Canada is on the eve of remarkable developments in the smelling of magnetite ores, the manufacture of steel and the production of nickel pig by the electric system.This ie proved beyond all doubt by § telegram which Hon.Frank Oliver, Minister of the Interior, received from Dr.Eugene Haanel, Superin- The telegram in question reads as follows: \u201cSault Ste.Marie, Ont., Feb.24.To Hon.Frank Oliver, Ogawa: Successful demonstration of all points stated in my memorandum on electric smelting of Canadian iron ores requiring investigation.Output greater than figure adopted by Harbord in report of commission.Successful smelting of magnetite and de- sviphurization of pig.Successful substitution of charcoal, and theref re of leat for coke.Consumption of elect ode insignificant.Production of nic- ke! pig of fine quality from roasted pyr- rhotite.Forty tons of plg have so far been produced.Process admits of immediate commercial application.Experiments wil be completed in about two weeks.(Signed) Eugene Haanel, Sup- erntendent of Mines.\u201d History of the Experiments.The movement which Las resulted in such complete success at Sault Sto, Marie began about three years ag» when Hon.Clifford Sifton sent a commission to Europe.headed by Dr, Haanel, 10 Investigate the system of! smelting iron ores and making steel by electricity.The system was found to be in successful operation at Gysinge, in Sweden, and at Livet and La Praz, in France.Samples of the steel produced were submitted to Prof.Harbord, a noted metallurglst, in England, and after being tested at Woolwich reported on favorably.The electric process was thus shown to be a sound and commercial one, but apparently the cost of manufacture was not brought down below that of production by the blast furnace.The ore employed in France was hematite, and It still remained to bo seen whether the Canadlan magnetite ores could be successfully treated, and at a lower cost than when coke was; used.Dr.Fleroult of La Praz, France, | the inventor of a system of electric! smeiting, thought he could demonatrate the commercial feasibility of smelting\u2019 magnetite by electricity, and Dr.Haanel recommended that he be glven a chance.Hon.Mr.Oliver appr ved of the experiments, and it was decided that they should take place at Sauit Ste.Marie, where the Algoma Steel Co.Offered a site and a supply of electricity free of charge for six months.Dr.Heroult\u2019s Work.Last fall Dr.Heroult arrived in Canada and immediately went to worh at Sault Ste.Marie.Electric furnaces of special design were constructed and electrical appliances of the finest kind obtained from the Westinghouse C-.and from Sweden.The apparatus was a long time coming, and all sorts of unexpected delays occurred.The greatest possible care had to be taken in installing and adjusting the electrical machinery, for nothing could be left to chance.The preliminary experiments took place in a small furnace, and resulted In the successful production of pig iron from hematite ore.and of nickel pig from nickeliferous pyrrhotite.A larger furnace, the fittings of which were {invented by the scientists employed in the experiments, was afterwards erected.It is in this furnace that plg iron, steel And nickel pig have been produced on a large scale, Importance to the Dominion, It is impossible to overrate the 1m- portant consequences to Canada bound to f How from these successful exper!- ments.With vast deposits of iron ore existing throughout Ontarlo and Quebec, and contiguous to them large water powers for the oheap production of electrical energy, it does not need much thinking to see that Iron and steel industries free from the smoke nulsance will speedily be established.The successful production of nickel plg ls also a wonderful achievement.In the Sud- bury district the supply Of ore is almost inexhaustible, and for the finished product there is an immense and ever- growing demand.Further particulars of the scientific trlumphs at the 80 will be eagerly awaited, but enough has been learned to prove that Canada will be one of the gmatest iron.steel and nickel] producing countries in the world.Pirates Loot on Canadian Soil.Millions of treasure, captured by a cut-throat crew of a vessel, the J)lly Roger, cached on an island in the Gulf of St.Lawrence, and the place of concealment kept

the Objection to Her Mar riage to Alfonso Xill.of Spain\u2014 Princess Finds An Odd Champion in Henry Labouchere, Who Tells the Objectors to Mind Their Own Business.The marriage of Princess Ena to the jouns King of Spain is far from popu- ar in England, first, because there is a prejudice of historical origin against a Spanish alliance, and, secondly, because the Princess ceases to be a Protestant when she shares the crown of the most Catholic King in the world.There is, indeed, a popular outburst against the union, and King Edward has been urged to refuse his consent to it.While many Protestants have participated in the protest, the Princess has, oddly enough, found a champion in Mr.Labouchere, he publicist, who has been anything but friendly in the past to the Royal Family, That gentleman tells the objectors to mind their own business.The politica] basis for the opporition 18 the old suspicion of Spain, which a strong body of public opinion still entertains.Former marriages between the royal personages of the two coun- I i | PRINCESS ENA OF DATTENLERG.tries were not happy.That of Cath- arine of Aragon with Henry VIII.was a deplorable affair.It was, however, not the fault of Catharine that such | was the case.Henry and his wife lived harmoniaasly enough until the King met Anne Boleyn.Then his Majesty's royal conscience began to trouble him.In marrying Catharine he had become the husband of his deceased brother\u2019s wife.This was a vio-| lation of the rule laid down by the.Church, and the only remedy that he! could see was a declaration that the : marriage was invalid, whereupon he would do penance by marrying Anne | | Boleyn, whom he liked better, This situation was the forerunner of the Re-, formation.The King repudiated the | supremacy of Rome In order to repudiate the contract with his wife.| Henry's daughter, Queen Mary, who, was also the daughter of Catharine of Aragon, made a Spanish marriage that was equally miserable, Mary had been betrothed to Charles V.of Spain, and.the marriage was to have followed in due course.But when her father divorced her mother.who was a Span-, fard, the Spanish monarch declined to hold to the bargain.Of course, Henry could not reasonably expect Charles to accept his daughter as Queen of Spain: after he had declared that his mar, riage with the young lady's mother was! not valld.But Mary waited.Her ; lover\u2014if he really was a lover\u2014made another alliance, and had a son\u2014! Philip.This gentleman Mary married after she had become Queen of England.Philip was not a good husband.He was brutal in his conduct to the Queen, and his influence was exerted | against the Protestants of England: To his power over Mary ls attributed in some quarters the terrible religious\u2019 conflicts of that period.These distur bances are chalked up against Spain, and the account will never be obliterated.' While England had a prejudice against the Spanish owing to the operations of Phillp, the feeling was intensified by what occurred later on.Philip was personally so well satisfied with the position of consort to the Eng: lish Queen that after the death of Mary and the accession of Ellzabeth ! ! | | ALFONSO XIII.OF SPAIN.a sought marriage with the new monarch.Elizabeth toyed with the propo sition, but finally rejected the suitor.Then the Spanish King fitted out the.Armada, and Good Queen Bess had to fight the man she would not marry.This added insult to injury, and since that date every Englishman, after a careful study of the history of his country, entertains an unfriendly feel ing towards Spain.The theory pre vails that Spain would bring Britain under the Papal jurisdiction, either by eraft or by force, if it could, and that the only way to prevent such a situation is to avoid the Spaniards.The Princess Ena, in her matrimo- nia] movements, is met by this historic prejudice.8he Is also faced with the opposition of the British to the transference of a British Royal personage to the Catholic Church.What makes the position of the Protestant objectors the more emphatic is the formula of abjuration which the Princess has to sign, This document reads thus: \u201cI, the undersigned, hav before whieh EE 1 touch with my hands, and kno that none can be saved without the Faith which the Holy Apostolic and Roman Catholic Church holds, believes, preaches, and teaches, against which 1 regret with pain to have gravely erred, because, born without this Church,

all that She reproves and condemns, and 1 am ready to observe all that She commands me.\u201d This is a sweeping condemnation of the Protestant religion.It seems, indeed, to be a good second to the coronation oath.But it is explained that the Princess is really Catholic in heart, and has been so for years.Her godmother is the ex-Empress Eugenie, whose son, the Prince Imperial, was to have married her mother, the Princess Beatrice.After the death of the Prince during the Zulu War the ex-Empress became more and more attached to Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, and when Princess Ena was born Eugente looked upon her as a relative, and is said to have influenced her religions views.Hence she becomes a Cathole on principle.But, after all, the public had nothing to do with the belief entertained by the young lady.She Is ns free as anvbody else to make her .choice, and what she does has nn beet { upon the religlous situation in Britain.: There is, however.a more pleasant ' phase of

of the congregation and friends on Monday evening.The services on Sunday were conducted by the Pastor, Rev.I.W.Pate.In the morning on \u2018The Church as a City not Forsaken,\u201d and;in the evening re-delivered by request, his lecture on the proverb, \u201cNever too late to mend\u201d The congregations at both services were exceedingly good and one of the pleasing features of both services was the excellent service of praise rendered by the choir and orchestra.The social meeting on Monday evening was a great success.After a beautiful supper provided by the Ladies of the congregation, the\u2019 chairman gave a brief résumé of the history of the Church, from ite formation on the twentieth day of March, 1859 to the present time, and paid a warm tribute of praise to the work of the first pastor, the late Rev.L.P.Adams, and his successors, Rev.G.Ellery Read and Rev.R.G.Watt.After an able rendition of \u201cOld Glory \u201d March by the orchestra.Mr.Galusha Moranville, gave a series of most interesting and musical selections on the phonograph, the machine which is one of the latest productions of Edison Company, reproduced some of the old time Hymne and Songs with all the richness and sweetness of the well trained human voice.Not the least interesting and certainly the most important event of the celebration was the burning upofa mortgage for 8500 which had been resting on the parsonage for some time.Mr.T.B.Rider, as representing the trustees of the church, in an able speech referred to the work which had been undertaken to provide a parsonage for the church and the consummation of the task under the present pastorate of liquidating the entire debt In the happy freedom for service they were gathered there that evening to consign the mortgage to the flames, and in the names of the trustees and the congregation he had much pleasure in asking Mrs.Selina Blake, who was one of the first members of the Church and daughter of the late Rev.L.P.Adams to undertake the work of destroying the paper.Thereafter Mrs.Blake having lit the mortgage at a candle, held it until it was consumed and no sooner had the last of the deed flickered out in ashes, than the voice of the congregation was heard breaking out in the Doxology, \u2018Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow.\u201d Mr.F.H.Barber, having hapily returned thanks to Mr.Rider and Mrs, Blake, Miss F.H.Rider and Miss Eva Rider sang with much taste and feeling the Duet * Nearer My Home today,\u201d and the Orchestra rendered a beautiful setting of the sarenade, \u201cA June Night.\u201d The

L.R.TABOR.Mr.L.R.Tabor, who died at the | home of his daughter, Mrs.Ames, on | the 19th inst., was born in Barton, Vt., 80 years ago.Ie lived in this town over 60 years.He also lived in the the State of Kansas 8 years, and in Morgan, Vt., 4 years.He was married 57 years ago.He was converted 47 years ago in a log school house in the East district of this town and has lived a Christian life ever since.This is indeed an excellent record.He first joined the Christian Church of the East district.After moving to Kansas, desiring a church home, he joined the Congregatianal Church.On his return from Kansas he moved to Morgan and joined the Adventist Church of that place, and continued therein up to the time of his death.Over 35 | years ago he joined the Masonic Lodge of Stanstead and remained a member in good standing till his decease.| During the last summer of his life he i spent a good deal of time caring for a | large garden, and I suppose it was one | of the best cared for and flnest look- | ing gardens in the state.A number of times he showed me through it and | it did me good to look at it and hear him talk about it.And according | reports he took as much pains to keep | the weeds out of his character as he | did to keep them out of his garden.| Personally I found him a very pleas- | ant man to converse with.He was always kind, always ready to help the
