from Canada\u2018s southern boundary to the far North.there extends a vast plain, weil watered and wooded, one of the best wheat lands on the tace of the globe.Hundreds of thousands of square miles of rich loam lands-\u2014lands that will attract the strongest from all nations, lands which will place Canada foremost in the food producing countries of the world, \u2014lands that will keep the Canadian at home, and make him independent.And the settlers from all over the habitable giohe, from Rus:ia and Poland.from England and France, from Galatia and Italy trom the United States and from every country where freedom is curtailed or the country overpopulated, and from where the people are keen to see the advantage of Canada's lands, and Canada\u2019s laws, are pouring in by the hundreds and by the thousands.One hundred thousand American and English farmers took up lands and homesteads last year and double the number are expected this season.The question naturally is in what way do the Canadian wheat lands and ranches excel thuse of other lands.Leaving Europe and Asia out of the question, we must consider the lands of South America and of the Republic to the South.We find that the Argentine Republic of South America exports large quantities of grain to Europe, but the quality does not compare with that of Canada nor can the same acreage of South America | yield as many bushels as Canadian lands.The same is true of the lands ! of the United States, and our markets are better than either.We find that the millers of the United States and of Europe, in order to compete with: the markets of the world must mix the hard wheat of Western Canada with their own productions.!

accomplished by a common mistake, and instead the cellar is made both warm and damp.A cool place should never be ventilated unless the air admitted is cooler than the air within, or at least as cool as that or a very little warmer.The warmer the air the more moisture it holds in suspension.Necessarily the cooler the air the more this moisture is condensed and precipitated.When a cool cellar is aired on & warm day tbe entering alr, being in motion, appears cool, but as it fills the cellar the cooler air with which it becomes mixed chills it, the\u2019moisture is condensed, and dew Is deposited on the cold walls and may often be seen running down them In streams.Then the cellar is damp.To avoid this the window should be left opened at night and late, the last thing before retiring.There is no need to fear that the night air Is unhealthful.It is as pure as the alr of midday and Is really drier.The cool air enters the apartment during the night and circulates throughout,

Forest.The party was composed of Messrs.C.H.Kathan, A.N.Thompson, G.H.House, E.A.Baldwin, Fdw.Audin- wood, E.W.Hovey and the publisher of the JOURNAL.At North Hatley they were met by Mr.A.V.Orr of Dudswell, represeut- ing Mr.C.A.Parsons of Boston, treasurer of the Dominion Mining Co., a corpuration owning promising properties at Dudswell Junction.Mr.Orr is an old miner having knocked out ore and \u2018shaken the pan\u201d in Colorado and other parts of the west for a number of years.Speaking of the Dominion properties on the way over to the \u2018\u2018Eagle\u201d\u2019 Mr.Orr said that he believed they had as promising a proposition as any in the west, but they! lacked capital.In Colorado #100,000 ; could be raised on the proposition in twenty-four hours but capital was very sceptical of Quebec mining ven- turers.After visiting the \u2018\u2018Eagle\u201d and shaking out several pans of \u201cpay dirt,\u201d Mr.Orr had no hesitation in saying that it was a much richer gravel than existed in Dudswell.At North Hatley a big team was secured for the drive across country to the mines.The trip around the end of the lake and over the high bills, from which a comprehensive view of landscape, water and mountain scenery can be had, was one much enjoyed by all the party.The property is located on the Grass Island Brook in the Township of Ascot, near the abandoned \u201cdump\u2019 of the old Waterloo and Magog Railway.At the cabin the party was met by Mr.C.E.Kennedy, the veteran prospector, and conducted to the \u201cdiggings.\u201d So far the work has not advanced much beyond the prospecting stage, the \u2018\u2018rocking\u2019\u2019 and panning processes common to pioneer mining being in vogue.Holes were dug in a number of places covering an area of several acres from which dirt was taken and panned by some of Visitors, a number of \u2018\u2018colors\u2019\u2019 showing in every pan.No barren dirt was encountered during the day and the value of gold in each pan ran from ten cents up, one going as high as fifty or sixty cents.The Eagle Mining Company\u2019s property consists of about a mile of the creek bed and banks besides an immense body of gold bearing quartz above.A small quantity of this quartz was taken by the visitors, crushed in a mortar then panned, several \u2018\u2018colors\u2019\u2019 being found.For the information of the \u2018\u2018tenderfoot\u201d we might say that a \u201ccolor\u201d means a small particle of gold.All of the visitors expressed themselves as being greatly pleased with the property and well repaid for the loss of time taken up by the trip.The party took tea with Mine Host Willard of the Valley House, North Hatley, before boarding the evening train for the home journey.The Eagle Gold Mining Company hag been incorporated under the laws of the Province of Quebec.The directors are: Messrs.A.N.Thompson (president), C.H.Kathan, H.M.Hovey, Geo.H.House and C.E.Kennedy.The property is known as the \u201cGolconda.\u201d It is conveniently situated being only a little over two miles from the Rock Forest station on the Canadian Pacific Railway.NOTES.Mr.E.Audinwood was chief driver, but the reins were held by a lées powerful man much to the discomfort of the timid president.The \u2018\u2018tenderfeet\u201d contented themselves with knocking off pieces of quartz and scientifically squinting through all kinds of glasses, but the real miners in the party dug up the dirt, shook the pans and washed out the gold.The Ascot gold is eaid to be more valuable than that of the Yukon, the former being worth $1 per dwt., the latter 916 per oz.The party was very favorably impressed with the crop outlook in the vicinity of Minton.All agreed that potatoes were more promising there than at any place nearer home.How's This?We off Hundred Dollars Reward À tt nk that cannot be cured by sOntarzh SECHENEY & CO., Toledo, 0.a= ie ai va and Vellore bi nal] so cerpy out any ige- Wan po, Kizwax 8

Saturday near the entrance to the National Park by a lone highwayman, who obtained a considerable amount of money and jewellery.2The conveyance were halted in rapid succession at a curve in the road near Ahwahnee, at the iden- ticle spot where a bandit, a year ago robbed several wealthy tourists of their valuables.The stages Saturday, were traveling sufficiently far apart to avoid each other\u2019s dust, and when the first vehicle reached the turn in the road, the highwayman, whose features were hidden by a duster thrown over his head, stepped out, pointed a gun at the driver and commanded him to halt, Some of the men passengers screamed, while others began wildly to secrete their valuables.The highwayman directed all passengers to throw out their money and jewellery, and when the order met with compliance he directed the driver to move on.The second stage arrived within a few minutes after the first, and the driver and passengers suffered a similar experience.The process was repeated until all five coaches had been halted and robbed.Then then bandit disappeared in the brush.WILL BE A SURPLUS.An Ottawa despatch says:\u2014The preliminary statement of receipts and expenditures of the Government of Canada, for the year ending June 30, indicates that when the accounts are finally closed there will be a surplus of income over outgo of five million dollars or thereabouts.The accounts to date show a surplus of %11,217,408, but this will be greatly reduced by pay- arents yet to be made on last year\u2019s account.Compared with the previous year the revenue

of a number of persons who happened to be in St.Mary's Park, near the scene of his suicide.After pacing the sidewalk at 148th street and St.Anne\u2019s avenue, for some time in evident mental distress, he drove his head against the thick plate glass front window of a saloon until it was shivered from top to bottom.Then with a big fragment of the broken pane he cut hjs throat.A policeman quickly summoned an ambulence, but the man bled to death before it reached the place.Cut The claim is put out that the provincial treasury will show a surplus of #150,000 for the year ending June 30.The new taxes imposed are having the expected effect.They are not pleasant to pay, and some are hardly in the interest of commerce.It is better to have them and a small balance on the right side of the provincial ledger, however, than not to have them and toshow a deficit.After a long debauch Quebec is getting financially sober.\u2014Montreal Gazette.TWENTY BEAUTIFUL COLORED POST CARDS Of New

WISDOM OF \u201cJIM\u201d HILL GIVE LAND ONLY TO THE ACTUAL SETTLER UPON IT.Railway Magnate Gives Some Good Ad- vioe to Canada\u2014Lack of Ostentation Amazses Many People at the Capital, and Everybody Found the Great \u201cJim\u201d Hill Kindly and Democratic\u2014 Wellington Old Boys Were Proud.James J.Hill visited the Canadian capital, Ottawa, a few days ago.He spent twelve hours in the city, and during that time familiarized himself with People and conditions to an extent that would have taken a long time on the part of an ordinary individual.At the Canadian Club luncheon scores vf citi- sens pressed for an introduction, and the great railway builder met them all in a kindly, democratic spirit.To \u201cold boys\u201d from Guelph and Wellington County he was especially cordial.As he was piloted from group to group in the Russell House rotunda one would al- most have thought he was a Parlia- | mentary candidate looking for votes.The Great Jim Hill, His lack of ostentation and his friend- lness amazed many people, who asked when they saw a powerful figure dressed in grey tweed leaning up against a pillar and exchanging conversation with admirers, \u201cIs that the great Jin Hil1?* It was the same in the Hous.of Commons, where Mr.Hill spent most of the afternoon, Parliamentarians Were eager to make his acquaintance, and all were received in the most fraternal manner.Mr.Hill is somewhat older than most people expected, with a full face and grizzled grey beard.Bul his countenance expresse indomitable resolutiun, and his glance, which roves everywhere, is keen and penetrating, He pleased everyone by his address to the Canadian Club.His deltvery is poor, but his sentences are crisp and eplgrammatic and carry conviction, The Two Northwests.Mr, Hill was received with round after round of cheers.He sald it would be fifty years next July since he went to the United States northwest, where, like other ambitious young Canadlans, he had gone to try and carve out a career for himself.Then Canada had no Northwest, but now it had almost all the avallable space for population that wag left.\u201cYou have in the Northwest\u201d sald Mr.Hill, \u201call that is left of the unoccupied land where a man can make a comfortable home for himself and fam- lly.There §s no difficulty in your settling your Northwest.Do not be in too great a hurry to settle it.Select the population.Wherever the sun shines population without land is a mob, and land without population is a wilderness.You want both.The quality of the soil is of less consequence than the quality of the man who lives on the soll.As far as you have gone in Canada, your educational Institutions, the general standard of business integrity, are such that you have no apologies to make.Keep that clean.Hold your standard up.Preserve your unoccupied land for those who will make intelligent use of it\u201d (Applause) Fifteen Millions a Nice Start.Mr.Hill said the mineral resources of British Columbia would support a population of a million.The Canadian Northwest would support a population of twelve or fifteen millions, but he advised them not to be too extravagant, as a population of fifteen mlillons would give them a nice start.On the 23rd of next month it will be twenty-seven Years since the old St.Paul & Pacific carried $1,280,000 worth of grain.This your the line carried $105.000,000 worth and there were a great many areas from which they did not carry grain.No Proxy Settler.\u201cYou have a great heritage in the Northwest,\u201d he declared.\u201cDo not give it away.Keep it for the man who Is going to live on it.Do not jet a man live on it by proxy and then secure a title and walk away.Let him wait until he has earned the right to it by living on the land and fulfilling hls obligations.That will do you the most good.\u201d In rallway construction he sald the great problem was to overcome the law of gravitation.The nearer the level one got with a rallway the easler the; law of gravitation was overcome.The grade of a railway fixed its ability to earn money, and It was of just as much | importance to the public to have a rall- | way with a low grade as it was to have | the St, Lawrence River dredged or to! have a harbor deepened enough to float & large ship.Big Haul, Low Profits.Reverting to British Columbia, Mr.Hill sald the mountains there were filled with low.grade ore.When his company went into Granby a year and & half ago they handled five hundred tons of ore à day.Now they are handling twenty hundred, and in five years they expected to handle ten thousand tons.That could only be done by bringing low-grade ores to a point where it could be handled at low prices.The ore must be transported at such a rate as to enable the producer and the railway to make a fair profit.\u201cWhat we expect to do In the Canadian Northwest,\u201d continued Mr, Hill, \u201cis to furnish rallway accommodation to that part of the country between Winnipeg and the Rocky Mountains, because, bear in mind, the bulk of our tord is already built or building from Vancouver to Fernie, and we are constructing it in such a manner that I hope we shall be able to retain the title to it, because we have no bonds and the Sheriff cannot get it.From the mountains to Winnipeg is not so far a cry, and Winnipeg is the gateway of the Canadian Northwest.\u201d The Invasion of Canada.Continuing, Mr.Hill sald they would @ for the Canadian Northwest what Mad been done for the ceuntry to the south.They would not take sway any existing market, but would bring the product shall go.When we reach Win- | nipez We connect with the Grand Trunk Paclfic or the C.P.R.and we will be happy with either charmer.(Applause | and laughter.) We expect to get a line from the Pacific to Winnipeg before the Grand Trunk Pacific does.The Canadian Pacific has from twenty-one hundred to twenty-two hundred miles of railroad in the United States, and I have not protested.Our building thls line through the Canadian Northwest.will even things up a little detter, We want you to give us room according to our heft.We dont want to crowd anybody, but if we go up there with a little ewe lamb to make a sheep of it we want pasture for it, and it will not cost you anything.\u201d (Laughter and applause.) A Fascinating Project.Mr.Hill referred to the construction of the Georgian Bay Canal, the cost of which he had been toid would be only from fifty to fifty-five millions, whereas the Panama Canal would cost the United States from two hundred to two hundred and fifty milllon dollars.The Georgian Bay Canal, it was said, would allow ships drawing twenty-one feet of water to go from Lake Huron to Montreal.If that was true, Montreal would be fifteen miles nearer to Chicago and Duluth than Buffalo is to-day.(Cheers.) : Ships drawing twenty feet can readily be constructed to carry twelve thousand tons, which represents four hundred thousand bushels.This at three cents a bushel would mean twelve thousand doilurs\u2019 frelght on a cargo each trip.That kind of shijoing would bu very remunerative.Trade followed the line of least resistance, and if they could bring the waterways into conditions under which & man could so use them, not only wheat from the Canadian Northwest, but grain of the United States from all points north of Kansas City would come this way during the season of open navigation No More Spoon.Feeding.Mr, Hill advised Cunadians to stop spoon-feeding the Northwest, as it wus now in a position to grow up strong and healthy without maternal assistance.If you want to give bonuses to railroads, he said, give it in money.Keep your lands for those who are seeking homes and are guing to plant their roots in the soil.The man who had hig roots In the soi] Wus the mainstay of the country, and too much could not be done for him.Mr.Hill spoke in the warmest terms of the Ontario Agri- cwitural College, which had furnished the Minnesota Agricultural Schuel with their best men, \u201cTo the Last Tatter.\u201d In conclusion he said: \u201cKeep your old flag flying to the last tatter.Your record is a good one, and it will always be bettered by keeping in view the fact that the men who built and are building Canada are those who follow the plough, They are the men tu make a nation strong and vigorous.\u201d CUSTOMER WORTH HAVING.United States Finds In Canada Large Demands For Her Products.The Unitea States sold Canada In 1904 exports to the value of $166,000,- 000.This amount constituted more than 62 per cent.of the whole Canadian imports, but was only 11 per cent, of the foreign exports of the United States, says Charles M.Pepper, special agent of the United States Department of Commerce and Labor, in a report on his study of Dominion trade conditions.Bestdes selling goods to Canada, Mr.Pepper says that 25,000 settlers went from the United States to its northern neighbor from January to October, 1905, and that the value of their effects was $10,000,000.\u2018This number of emigrants from the United States is less than for the two preceding years, The new wheat fields of the Dom- inlon\u2019s great Northwest are the attraction to those seeking new homes in Canada, and it is to that section the United States should look for the development of existing and the creation of new markets of trade.The food, clothing, and farm Implements to which these settlers have been accustomed in the United States constitute the products which may be sold them the easiest in Canada.The wheat yleld In Canada last season was upwards of 90,000,000 bushels, or approximately equal to that of the State of Kansas.A production of 150,- 000,000 bushels by 1910 is foreshadowed, provided crop conditions continue favorable and harvest hands can be obtained, Rallroad construction in the Northwest is given as another source of new population and consequently of widened markets.After describing the new transcontinental project known as the Grand Trunk Pacific, and the plans for railways to the Hudson Bay, the statement ls made that probably before an outlet is afforded for wheat by either of these routes traffic will be diverted south and east over railroads in the United States, one agency being the United States settlers.Mr.Pepper fixes the total consumption of iron and steel and their products for the current year at 1,000,000 tons.He says that for the last three years the importations have been $42,000,000 annually and that the United States has supplied 81 per cent.of these.It is stated that the steel rall mils at Sydney, Nova Scotia, and at Sault Ste.Marie, Ontario, are now turning out several hundred tons dally.Though there are several successful mills for making rods and wire nails, there still si much dependence in wire producta on the United States, In textiles the report says that the Dominion is making advances, yet the time ia distant when the importation of foreign goods will cease, Though many factories have been established in Canada for manufacturing boots and shoes and though the machinery is from the United States, the report states that this 1s still one of the best markets for American manufacturers to cultivate, Not a factory of any kind is built in the Dominion but that the installation of the plant is made largely from the United States, Still Alert, It was in the jungle restaurant.The leopard had been drinking and waiter was trying to take advan.of that

SWINE INDUSTRY.Instructive and Suggestive Character of Ontario's Latest Builetin.A bulletin upon this subject hae been prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, which contains Information of an instructive and sug gestive character.The following questions were sent tc several thousand carefully selected correspondents, and froin the replies received, a report is given In detail by counties, together with-A summary for the Prov.nce as a whole; 1.What breeds, grades or crosses of hogs appeur to be niost popular in your district?Z.Has there been any general tendency to change from one breed or type of hog to another during the last two or three years?».If there has been any change in the kind of hogs fed, pleuse describe the nature of the change?4.Are grade sires used in your

breeding sowe were kept by the average farmer of your section in 1904?How many in 1905?How many this season?7.What is the average number of pies to reach weaning age in spring litters this year?Has the percentage of loss been greater than usual?S.How will the delivery of hogs be tween now and September 1st, compare with that of 1904 and 19057 9.What do you consider the average cost of production

others it is n tie with some ather breed for first place.Berkshires come next in favor.followed by Tam.worths and Chester Whites in the order named.Duroc Jersevs and Po land Chinas receive but little mention outside of the counties of Essex and Kent, Crosses \u2014While many crosses are nsed, the most popular is that between the Yorkshire and the Berkshire.In the western portion of the Province there is a tendency to use the Berk: shire more than formerly in crossing, while in the eastern half the trend is more toward the use of the Yorkshire, Sires.-\u2014Pure bred sires are used al most entirely in twenty-five per cent.of the counties, while grade sires are used to a limited extent im about twenty per cent., and to a still greater extent in fifty-five per cent.of the counties; while in a few sections grade sires are still used almost entirely.The district taking tn the northwestern peninsula will be found to be freer from the use of grade sires than any other section of the Province, al though there are individual counties elsewhere from which reports are just as favorable.Grade sires appear to be in most use in the more eastern coun: ties, Production.\u2014The general tendency throughout the Province is to increase production slightly.In many of the eastern counties it has been the custom for farmers to depend upon breed: ers in their locality for their supply of young pigs for feeding, and it has been noted that the demand this spring considerably exceeds the supply, the breeders who usually sell their pigs retaining them on account of the good prices for hogs.Considerable caution, however, is observed among many individual breeders and feeders not to go into the business too extensively, for fear that over-produc@on \u2018might bring prices down to an unprofitable point.Breeding Sows.\u2014The number ot breeding sows was decreased considerably in 1905 over 1904, while 1906 shows an increase in the number compared with both 1905 and 1904.Comparing 1906 with 1905, thirty-five coun: ties report increases, while only two counties report decreases, and five counties no change in the number of sows.Reports indicate that the eastern part of the Province is relatively increasing production much more rapidly than is being done in Western Ontario.In all parts of the Province the demand for brood sows appears to exceed the supply.Cost of Feeding.\u2014The average cost of summer feeding is placed at $4.51 per cwt.,, and of winter feeding, $5.38 per ewt.In very few anses, however, do correspondents state definitely that the figures given are the result of ac tual experiments, but where these are reported it is almost invariably no ticed that the cost of both summer and winter feeding is eonsiderably below the figures already mentioned.A number of correspondents, especially in Western Ontario, state that with comfortable quarters and roots the cost.of feeding is no greater {n winter than in summer.Oxen Looking Up.The use of oxen on farms in New England is on the increase, and the reason given is that they are cheaper on some farms than horses.Farmers in that section of the country for years have depended on buying their supply instead of raising them.Now horses are high priced and scarce everywhere these farmers find it dim- OX TEAM.cult to secure horses enough to work their land, but there are a good many farmers who advocate the use of cattle even when horses are plentiful.A good many of the New England farms are small, the fields irregular, and they have large stones to contend with.Such conditions make a complicated farming problem, which no doubt ac oounts for the preference for oxen ip certain sectiona\u2014Ferm, Field Fireside, .neutralizing free acids in the soil.The that | 1 th ; and tan)

exists against roller process wheat bran.Some farmers prefer finely ground bran, others are prejudiced in favor of coarser samples.The product of roller mills is not uniform in this respect.In some samples the germ is ground with the bras; in other mills the germ is found either in the flour or as a separate byproduct.To get some light on the relation of the composition of bran to its physical appearance fourteen samples were analyzed, some of them from roller mills, some from bur stone mills, some from mills of large capacity and others from smaller establishments.The per cent.of prote:n varied from 14.32 per cent.in the bran of a roller process mill with an annual output of 1,200 tons to 19 per cent.in a first grade roller process bran from one of the immense mills in Minneapolis.Little variation was found in the composition of extremely coarse bran and the finer articles.Roller Process Product Approved.The chemist of the statfon says on this topic: The two extremes, the very coarse and the very fine, are of much the same composition, while neither shows the best sample so far as feed- Ing properties are concerned.The medium grades generally show a better analysis than either of the extremes.Theoretically the bran pro duced by the roller process should be more valuable than that produced by bur stones, as in one the germ, which is rich in fat, is separated out with the flour and in the other this part! goes into the bran.The roller process | brans are all perceptibly higher in pro-; tein than are those of the bur stone! process.It is not so much the amount of starch present in the bran.as th» amount of protein and fat that is of! consideration to the feeder.The end : for which the millers are constantly: working in the milling process, the.most complete separation of the starch: possible and the needs of the con-| sumer of bran, a food rich in protein\u2019 and fat, are identical.The new milling process instead of supplying the feed-/ er with an inferior grade of feeding ; stuffs furnishes him with one much \u2018 superior to that supplied by the old process.| | Cleaning the Farm Wells.| The dry season is the time to 100k :

(Illinois) that he never will recommend the use of any material on land that would injure it in the long run.He suggests only natural materials.The source of the lime now in the soil is limestone.The tendency of burnt lime-\u2014caustic lime\u2014is to burn the soil.Ground limestone will correct acidity just as effectively as caustic lime if used in sufficient quantity.It is the cheapest form of lime for this purpose.It is absolutely harmless, and it does the work of destroying acidity.The ground limestone cannot stimulate nor do any injury.On poor land it would not secure as much clover un- alded as does caustic lime, but it would do all that may be required of it safely \u2014=it corrects the acidity and it feeds the clover directly when that is re-\u2019 quired.A ton of ground

SUBJECT DISARMAMENT LORDS Caron vs.Opinions of Three British Premiere, Lord Beaconsfield, Lord Saiisou:y | and Sir Henry Campbell-Banner- | man\u2014Huge Sums Involved \u2014 Tha Proportion Between Navies Un- changod\u2014Growth of Arbitration.In the British House of Lords the other day there was a most important @nd interesting discussion on the sub- Ject of disarmament.So far as practical politics is concerned the question is one of reducing or limiting expendi ture on armies and navies, and h.traditional charms for a Libera] Government.The launching of the Di :d- nought and the order of the Us; -d States Government for the construe.a of a still larger vessel are recent even:s that seem at varlance with the pious aspirations in the House of Lords.Nevertheless they may well have suggested them, for they tend to show the absolute waste of much of the huge\u2019 Sums that are annually expended on ships and armament.A vessel that js the wonder of the world to-day may be , surpassed to-morrow, and of not much more value than a last year's straw hat.Intrinsically It may be as good as ever, but in comparison with its newer rivals it makes a sorry showing.Thres Premiers\u2019 Opinions.Lord Avebury.in raising the Question, quoted the opinions of the late Marquis of Salisbury, and Lord Bea- consfield.The former, in one of his last speeches, said the one hope we had of preventing the competition In armaments \u2018from ending in a terrible effort of mutual destruction, which would be fatal to Christian clvillzation, is that the powers may gradually be brought to act together in a friendly spirit on all questions of difference which may arise, till at last they shall be wedded in some international constitution which shall give to the world, as a result of their great strength, a long spell of unfettered and prosperous trade and continued peace.\u201d Lord Beaconsfield, according to Sir Spencer Walpole, \u201csaw more clearly than almost any other leading statesman that the strength of the country lay not in increased armament, but in its growing resources, and that if these resources were squandered in time of peace they would not be avallable in war.\u201d Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said in a speech delivered last December, \u201cthat, as the policy of huge armamen:s feeds the belle that force is the best, if nat the only, solution of international differences, it becomes one of the high- , est tasks of the statesman to adjust \u2018armaments to the new and happier conditions.\u201d Huge 8ums Involved.In the course of his address Lord Avebury gave some statistics of the amounts spent on armament by the great powers, He sald that in the last ten years Britain had increased national and local expenditure by about £130,000,000, population has increased 10 per cent., indebtedness 21 per cent, ! and national expenditure 30 per cent.Evidently, therefore, the position was most serious and the matter urgent.Ten years ago naval \u2018and military expenditure was £ 35,600,000; last year It | was £66.270.000.It was often said that : this enormous increase had been forc- ! ed on us by the increases in the arma- | ments of foreign powers.The fact was that in the last ten years Lialy had increased her naval and military expenditure by £1,500,000, France by £ 6,000,000, and Germany by £38,700,000, aa compared with our increase of £30,- 000,000.The time seemed very suitable for some such action as was indicated in the Prime Ministers speech.Rus.| #ia required rest to recover from the ruinous losses of the last war.France was friendly; Italy, certainly.was not for war: Austria, to her honor.had i long been an influence making for .peace, and all the great commercial cities of Germany knew, as we did, that peace was most Important for each of us.The anxiety and uncertainty created necessarily tended to paralyze industry and drive manufactures into : More peaceful reglons.The United States had a population of 90,000,000 | and Europe a population of about 350,- 000,000, some four times as great, and | the area was about the same, But the | expenditure of Europe on armaments | Was over £250,000,000 and that of the | | { United States £40,000,000, while the | Number of men under arms was about 4,000,000 in Europe, against 100,000 in the United States.It was obvious \u2018that European manufacturers were : heavtly handicapped as against those \u201cof the United States.\u201d The Proportion Unchanged.| The last point was well taken, but : Lord Avebury might well have re- | marked that Germany, with a terrible disability of conception.which tak: three years from the life of every | able-bodled man, is yet forging to the front, and in many important lines is | the greatest manufacturing country in the world.He went on to emphasize the weak point in the continual strug- | #le for greater armies and more powerful vessels.The proportionate strength of navies remained about the j 8ame, whether Britain's naval power | Were estimated at 1,900,000 tons, France's at 780,000 tons, and Germany's at 750,000 tons, or whether all the cyphers were struck out.A portentous, ' even a wicked, waste was his charac.Misery and | thing were done to limit the sums We under- spent in armament.we are prepared to i The Growth of Arbitration.The Bishop of Ripon feared that for i the present disarmament was out of | the question, but he dwelt upon the development of arbitration.From 1820 handise:; to 1830 only three disputes were thus Tor when propony | settled.but

QUE.Blank Books at the Journal Office.that the question of price becomes a nations might inaugurate some league of peace, but Lord Sanderson, who followed, showed that The Hague Conference of 1398 had failed to discover any formula fair to all nations.Moreover, there was no tribunal that couid enforce its decisions against nations.War would be necessary to prevent | war, an absurd conclusion.The world I~ be satisfied with slow advances.Peace was à plant that grew oy decades, At the Hague.Lord Fitzmaurice, speaking for the Government, sald it would be proper for Britain to protest tn a friendly spirit against another power increasing its armament in the bellef that Britain meditated some act of aggression.That the representatives of the British Government would bring the whole matter up for discussion at the next Peace Conference was a half- promise that may properly be considered of much importance.BOY ROVERS FUTURE.Lad Who Went Through Canada on 10,000 Mile Trip to Be a Sailor.Young Stanley Condor, the adventurous buy traveler, whose latest exploit was a stowaway voyage from New York to Liverpool, had his future decided for him by the deputy-stipendiary of Liverpool.Recently Stanley was remanded to the workhouse, the suggestion being tha: he should be placed in a reformatory.Mr.Kinghorn, however, has fallen in with the view expressed by The Weekly Dispatch that a lad of such Qualities as Condor should not be placed in the restrictive confines of a reformatory.The other day the deputy.stipendlary sald that he was reluctant to send the boy to such an institution.There was nothing criminal In his roving propensities and he had the making of a good man in him.He had, therefore, decided to send him to the training ship Clio, stati ned at Bangor, until he was sixteen years of age.The Clio is a vessel un which only unconvicted boys can be received.Young Btanley Condor will there be trained for the merchant service.#tanley Condor was taken to Winnl- pey by hls father early this year, and was twice detected by the railway authorities concealed on trains for Montreal.His third attempt succeeded and from Montreal he traveled in the same way free to New York, where he stayed three days, doing odd jobs.Tired of American life, he secreted himself on the liner Victorian for Liverpool.There was & pleased expression on his face when he knew he was to be sent to the Clio.It was somewhat amusing to notice how closely he was watched by the police officials in court.He has a reputation for slipperiness, and those who had charge of him seemed possessed with a haunting fear that he might vanish before thelr eyes.Costly Old Chairs.There seems to be no ilmit to the prices people pay nowadays for old furniture, prints, paintings, or china.More than £28,000 was realized at Christie's, London, recently by the sale of exceptionally interesting and valuable art objects.One of the principal features of the sale was the disposal of a set of eight Chippendale mahogany chairs, which, after exceedingly brisk bidding.were knocked down for the record price of 1,260 guineas.The chairs have rectangular seats and backs covered with old English petit-point needlework, with compositions of figures, trees, and views of buildings in colored silks.The borders and legs are plerced and carved with trellis work, foliage, and rosettes under Chinese Influence.Enormous interest was taken In the chairs, and when the bidding closed at 1,260 gulneas, or the record price of nearly 160 guineas a chair, there was an outburst of applause.A set of seven old Worcester vases fetched 2,500 guineas\u2014the highest price ever given for specimens of English porcelain, The vases have a mottled dark blue ground, the necks being plerced with a band of dlamond-shape panels.Each vase is finely painted with exotic birds and branches in colors In heart-shaped panels, with gilt scroll-pattern borders.Another group of fine Worcester vases brought only 620 guineas.A Strange Dilemma.A curious confusion of identity bids fair to prevent & young workgirl of Paris from marrying, says The London Mail.Two years ago her elder sister wrote on the eve of her marriage to the mayor of her native village for a copy of her birth certificate.Fur some reason the official failed to find the entry, and accordingly had the extraordinary idea to send the girl the certificate of her young- or slater, stating that he thought It would do as well.The girl was married, and now her younger sister, in her turn, on the eve of marriage, has offered the same cer- tifloate to the Paris officials, who on verlfyIng the document have diacover- ed the facts.Josephine Dansart Is now in the pos!- tion of being unable to marry unless her sister consents to annul her own marriage, and by so doing place her name on the official registers as \u201cfree to marry.\u201d \u2014 Irving's Carefuiness, Sir Henry Irving was accustomed to visit at the home of Mise Friswell, author of \u201cIn the Sixties and Seventies,\u201d In which volume appears the following anecdote: \u201cMy mother often used to point out little detalls that had been overlooked.I remember one In

that there is suppnsed to have been a deep fall of gnow.The innkeeper, Matthias (Irving), walked In on that first night in ordinary black boots, with no snow upon them.My mother spoke of it, and afterwards Matthias wore high black boots, and stood on the mat while the snow was brushed off them.Remarks were made as to Mr.Irving's attention to the minutest detalls, and this was cited as an instance,\u201d rs A Long Lived Wheat Stack.There Is a wheat stack in Aishy, a village in South Lincolnshire, that is making history.It hag been standing in the farmyard of Mr.Philip Selby for
