the most nota- | ble changes in Vermont newspapers | that has taken place in recent years, : for Lhe change of management is un- | derstood to be due to political plans for 1908.Mr.Hindley was manager of the Clement literary bureau in the campaigu of 1906 and for several | months preceding that campaign,\u2019 and proved himself a shrewd political | writer and manager.| Miss Agnes Farrell, a young woman from Newport holding a $900 position ' in the United States patent office at Washington, made a new record in| typewriting recently, writing, in the | regular course of work 33,000 words for the seven hours.This was a voluntary effort upon her part, the work being a rush court record, containing The best previous records made in the same office were 29,000 and 31,000.John W.Ketchum, who is serving a seven years\u2019 sentence for complicity in wrecking the Farmers\u2019 National Bank of Vergennes, bas received an officia! notification that the department of justice had refused to consider his application for pardon.A petition for pardon had been signed by several thousand prominent citizens throughout the state.Ketchum will re-enter the newspaper business at the expiration ef his sentence June | 28, Gilman Leclair of Sutton, a farm laborer, was arrested Friday on a charge brought by State\u2019s Attorney Guy W.Hill, alleging that he had forged four notes aggregating about 8600, in the Lyndonville National Bank.The names signed were those of J.Clark, A.D.Fogg, Joseph C.Masure and F.R.Whipple, well- known Sutton men.A preliminary hearing was held Friday evening and Laclair was bound over to Caledonia county courty in the sum of 8900, which he has been unable, thus far.to furnish.Leclair admits the crime but claims that he can straighten out matters.Archie Wakefleld, a sawer at Tillot- sopn\u2019s mill in Lowell, was seriously injured Wednesday forenoon, Feb.13th.Mr.Wakefleld had pushed the lever for a forward movement of the saw carriage and finding that the carriage did not move, he took a cant book and stepped to the front of it to pick away frozen sawdust that was causing the trouble.The obstruction removed and the lever still on, the carriage started, turning Wakefield partly around and throwing him on tbe saw which cut a frightful wound in the flesh and bone of his leg near the hip joint.It is said by those who saw the accident that the results would have been fatal had not Roy Newton at the critical moment seized the sawyer and prevented his being thrown bodily on the rapidly revolving saw.Interstate Commerce Law Violated, Sixty-five packages of deer meat and four packages of black bear meat, the whole weighing 3,460 pounds, seized in the freight yards at Boston February 4, was consigned to C.A.Batchelder from Newport and billed ss lumber.The fine for taking this meat into the state in violation of the interstate commerce law is $100 a carcass, making a total of $5,000 on these deer alone.The car was delivered at Newport by some lamber- men in Canada.It ie a question how far back it can be traced, forit may have been sold and resold half a dozen times before its final consignment.But it is evident that some game dealer in Boston or vicinity fe interested in the contraband traffic, and that end of the investigation je now in the hands of the police.In following up this consignment of ven- leon, a consignment of 349 partridge and eight quail in cold storage in the city saexpectedly came te light.The ines ou this lot are 020 o bird.CN while repairing a wire that, through mistake the electricity was turned on and he was knocked off the pole, falling some 25 feet and was so seriously injured that he did no work afterward.The burial was at Ex-Governor Frederick Holbrook, 94.Ex-Gov.Frederick Holbrook, Ver- ; mont\u2019s venerable war governor passed | his 94th birthday auniversary at his | i home on Walnut street, Brattleboro, | Friday.He received many letters from governors and former governors.A particularly pleasing letter from the South was written by Gov.Claude A.Swanson of Virginia.It read: \u201cMy Dear Governor: I cannot refrain from writing and expressing to you my congratulations and good wishes on your 94th birthday.I know the retrospect of your long and eventful life so crowded with good deeds, honors and benefits to humanity, must give you pride and pleasure.That there may be many returns of this day is my most earnest wish.As governor of this state I desire to convey to you my esteem and admiration.\u201d A notable letter was received from Gov.Henry A.Butchel of Colorado, who wrote: \u201cI write to congratulate you on the fact that you are in sight of the 94th milestone in the road of life.On the 15th you will pass that milestone.You have had a wonderful career.You have lived during the most intesesting years in the history of the modern world.I write to congratulate you with all my heart on your eareer and ; on the fact that you are held in affectionate reverence by your own people of Vermont as well as by those outside.\u201d From a letter by Gov.E.C.Stokes of New Jersey is taken the following: \u201cOne whose life, though fraught with tempests and trials, has yielded so rich a harvest of usefulness, cannot but count his years with pride and tell them off as pearls upon a ros- ary\u2014each one representing the accomplishment of a noble purpose.\u201d MAPLE SUGAR MAKERS.For the purpose of distributing a Bulletin on the manufacture of pure maple syrup and sugar, the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa has undertaken to collect a list of Maple Sugar Makers from each county in the Dominion.If by chance any names of sugar makers, or any interested in the manufacture, have been omitted from the list, or the the copy already mailed has gone astray, the Department will be glad to send to all who apply, or, to anyone who may wish to send in a list of names with P.O.addresses, a copy of the Maple Sugar Bulletin just issued.This Bulletin not only deals with the manufacture of \u201cPure Maple Syrup and Sugar,\u201d but also explaine the Sections of the Adulteration Act having reference to Maple Syrup, and Sugar, and like ingredients, and gives a \u201cForm of Warranty\u201d which has to be signed by the sugar maker himself and handed on to the wholesaler, retailer and consumer, thus giving the purchaser assurance that the goods sold as \u201cPure Maple Syrup\u2019 or \u201cPure Maple Sugar\u2019 are what they are represented to be.A GOOD PRODUCER.James R.Cameron of the \u201cLittle Dunkeld Dairy Farm,\u201d east of the village, claims to have the best milch cow of her age in the township, being a Holstein Friesian heifer two years old last April.She dropped her calf on the 28th of December, 1905, and from the first day of January till the first day of December she gave 9,587 pounds of milk, or an average of nearly 20 pounds a day.In January, her first month, she gave 650 pounds; in November, her eleventh month, she gave 613 pounds; in the months of April, May, June, July and August she gave 4,993 pounds lacking only 8 pounds of averaging 1,000 pounds per month.On the

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.Committee on TPublication R>p'ion nt?yaRov.Wm, MH.Van Allen's Attack, | The Editor of ths Stanstead Journal: | Desr Sir:\u2014I notice in a recent issue \u2018of your paper, some remarks on .Christian Science by the Rev.Wm.H | Van Alien of Boston, which you re- (published at the reguest!of à corras- | pondent \u2018for the eulightment of the public.\u201d For the same reason, will \u2018you be kind enough to prist the tol- | lowing correction: The Rev, Wm.H.Van Allen of Bos- \"ton hss re-iterated his assertion that (Christian Science is anti-Christian.| When he utters himself again ou this subject, I trust he will mention the | fact that Christian Science is based on the Scriptural definition of God as | Spirit, and that he will show wherein luny portion of the Christian Science text-book is out of harmouy with this definition.| \u2018The gentleman asserts \u201cOver and | over again she (Mrs.Eddy) places her writings on an equality with the i Bible.\u201d\u201d To be accurate he should , have stated that the Christian Science text book, Science and Health with |Key to the Scriptures by the Rev.Mary Baker Eddy, consists entirely | of scriptural quotations and consistent \u2018deductions therefrom.It is notasup- | plement to the Bible.In other words it is a Bible Commentary, a work, the | sole purpose of which is to emphasize i the pure spiritual teaching of the Mas- ! ter, redeem Biblical teachings from ithe mutilation of scepticism, save it! | from the destructionof infidelity, and: render it more practical.i Our critic declares that \u2018Christian \u2018Science is a bunco scheme wherein \u2018the victim thinks he has the treasure, | but instead holds only the worthless imitation.\u2019 This leads us to inquire.| what he believes to be the \u2018\u2018treasure\u201d ;of Christianity.Our Master said, \u201cA | tree is known by its fruits.\u201d Certain- {ly Christian Science brings forth good | fruits.Those who have accepted it,\u2019 and are putting its teachings into | practice are thereby made better and las a consequence of spiritual regener- \u2018ation are improved bodily.We dare | say that if by means of Christian | Science a given individual is im- | proved spiritually, it cannot be intel- I :ligently affirmed that be has been the | loser in the sight of God, even though i his creed may be somewhat affected | by the experience, for we are clearly | taught in the scriptures that the blissful and desirable state, called heaven, is to be attained by working out one\u2019s I salvation from sin, by overcoming al! that is unlike God, and attaining to the fall stature of Christian manhood.Which is of greater importance,\u2014one\u2019s jcouduct or one\u2019s creed?If one\u2019s deportment is right he has superseded the necesssity of a creed.( Our critic declares: \u201cChristian Science denies that things do exist at all, \u2014denies that God made them,\u2014 | and says that they are figments of: mortal mind.This ¢-itic has been repeatedly corrected in this misappre- | hension, and we are exceedingly sorry | that he has not learned his lesson.| Christian Science does not declare | that anything is a figment of mortal mind except that which is in reality u | figment of mortal mind.Christian | Science recognizes that all creation is! the manifestation of God, and that ; everything in creation, from the least to the greatest, is real.It denies real\u2019 existence only to the darkness which hides creation from view and which offers iteelf as the creation.It is the distorted false view of God and creation which is denied in Christian Science,\u2014not the creation itself.Yours truly, ALFRED FARLOW.| I JUDGE HALL RESIGNS.Prompted by Failing Health, Mr.Justice Hall, of Montreal, has Resignel.Judge Hall, who is a native of La- prairie, has now reached the age of seventy years.He was the son of the late Rev.R.V.Hall.Educated at the Burlington University, he was called to the Bar in 1861, and practised his profession for many years in Sherbrooke.Twice Batonnier of the St.Francis section of the Bar of Quebec, he was elected Batonnier-General in 1878 and created a Q.C.by the Marquis of Lorne in 1880.Justice Hall was one of the original directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1873, and was one of the promoters and the first president of the Eastern Townships Agricultural Association.He was also a director of the Quebec Central Railway Company, president of the Sherbrooke Gas and Water Company, and president ofthe Massawippi Valley Railway Company.He received the degree ot L.L.D.(hon.causa) from Bishop\u2019s College, Lennoxville, in which he was dean of the faculty of law in 1881.He represented Sherbrooke as a Conservative in the Dominion House from 1882 to 1891, and was appointed a puisne judge of the Court of Queen's Bench on Jan.11, 1902.The succession of the learned Judge is already being discussed, and the name of Mr.Hugene Lañeur, K.C., fe promivently brought forward in con- section with the appointment.' flerce heat of summer an JOE HOWE'S POPULARITY, Based Upen An Infinite Knowledge of His Province and Its People.He became jamiliar aot enly with the Province and the character and extent of its resources, but also with every nook and corner of the popular heart, our ways of looking at things, our feelings, prejudices, idioms, ti at length he was able to play on every string in our hearts as it suited him.He graduated with honors at the only college he ever attended\u2014what he called \u201cthe best of colleges\u2014a farmer\u2019s fireside.\u201d He was \u2018admirably qualified physically and socially for this kind of life.He didn\u2019t know that he had a stomach; was ready to eat anything and to sleep anywhere, These were strong points in his favor; for in our hospitable country, if a vigitor does not eat a Benjamin\u2019s portion, the good woman of the house suspects that he does not like the food, and that he is pining for the dainties of the city.He would talk farm, fish, or horse with the people as readily as politics or religion.He made himself, or rather he really felt, equally at home in the fisherman\u2019s cabin or the log house of the new sete tler, as with the substantial farmer or well-to-do merchant; would kiss the women, remember all about the last sickness of the baby, share the jokes and thoughts of the men, and be popular with all alike.In those days when there were few roads in e Province, or when bridle paths were dignified with the name of roads; when the fishermen and farmers along the coast did their business with Halifax by semi-annual visits in their boats and smacks; when the postman carried Her Majesty's mail to Annapolis in a queer little gig that could accommodate one passenger; when the mail to Pictou and the Gulf of St.Lawrence was stowed away in one of the great-coat pockets of a sturdy pedestrian who kept the other pocket free for the partridges he shot on the way, we can fancy what an event in most any part of the Province the appearance of Joe Howe must have been.He came along fresh, hearty, full of sunlight, brimming over with news, fresh from contact with the great people in Halifax\u2014and yet one of themselves, hailing them Tom and Jack, and as happy with them as if in the king's palace.\u201cJoe Howe came to our house last night,\u201d bragged a little girl as she skipped along to schgol next morning, \u201che kissed mamma and kissed me too.\u201d The familiarity was seldom rebuked, for his heartiness was contagious.He was as * full of jokes as a peddler, and had as few airs.\u2014~From Principal Grant's , Sketch.Practical Forestry.The Canadian Dairyman is pressing strongly upon the Ontario Government the need of a forestry policy for the older counties.It says: \u2018Recent trips through considerable sections of Hastings, Northumberland and Norfolk Counties, in each of which dairying is the main agricultural pursuit, revealed the fact that hundreds and hundreds of acres of land, fit only for wood lots, have been cleared of all timber and brush and now are practically useless for any other purpose.Much of this land is composed of high sandy knolls, on which practically all vegetation has been destroyed by the lack of moisture.Winds blow the sand from these hills, and in some cases make nearby roads almost impassable.In \u2018other cases the timber has been removed from the low, swamp lands, with the result that streams are drying up and hundreds of farmers suffer from the effects.\u2019 The Dai an urges the Government to adopt the suggestion of Dr.Judson Clark, the forestry expert, to lend municipalities any money that might be required to purchase such waste lands and reforest them.In ten or fifteen years the timber would be able to refund the loan with interest.In Germany, where this policy has been carried out, the revenue derived from some of the municipal forest is | sufficient to meet the local taxes and leave a small bonus for each ratepayer.Boys Outnumber Girls.When one geta down to cold-blood- ed statistics, many old beliefs perish.There is the general belief that there are more women than men in this country.The census knocks out this belief by showing that in Canada there were at that time 9,751,708 males and 2,619,607 females.That this proportion is being maintained is shown by the fact that there were 66,- 464 male children under one year of age and 65,118 female children of the same age.Another persistent belief was that the excess of girls would be found in the older and more settled parts of the countrv, and the excess of boys on the frontiers of settlement.The facts are the reverse of this, as the following figures of population under one year will show :\u2014 Male.Female.British Columbia .1,974 1,290 Manitoba .«ec.3,674 3,575 New Brunswick .4,093 3,902 Nova Scotia .5,108 4,991 Ontario .23,600 22,813 Prince

all good sportsmen will read with pleasure, eo story is told of Mr.Ralph Brunt: \u201cSitting on a log near a bay out West several years ago, he chanced to notice six fine teal coming along in a straight line, one after another.They were coming straight for him.Quick as a flash Ralph raised his gun, and with unerring aim, fired at the foremost bird.The teal getting the benefit of the full charge dro] dead, and the other five coming up behind it at tremendous speed, were unable bo swerve or dodge, and oe terrific impact again e of their leader broke the necks of all five birds.The thing happened so Tih a Ji, coin w the six a heap.Local men declare that te incident is unique, and in fact, Teed od ooh Bato Benne rend presse tot 10 woth of he es aqer 7 7, A TRULY IDEAL Wire HUSBAND'S

but, keeping that hand perfectly still, with the other he tickled the tiger's jowl and scratched his ear till with a yawn and a pleased snarl the big cat rolled over on his back to have his belly scratched.\u201cThe man then sank to his knees, always keeping his hands in motion \u2019 over the glossy fur, and with his foot drew toward bim a collar attached to a chain.This he snapped round the beast\u2019s neck and, rising to his feet, laid bold of the chain and dragged the tiger out.\u201cThis was only the second time that the cage had been entered.As soon as the tiger was outside he espied the watching party and started for them, but came up short on the collar.If he had chosen to use his welght and strength no four of them could have held his tether, but as it was the Turkoman found little difficulty with him and held bim, snarling, while a camera was snapped.\u201d THE STAR MIRA.A Sum of Great Sise That Is Strug- sling For Existence.For the greater part of the time the variable Mira, which has been known | to astronomers for 800 years, is altogether unnoticeable and indeed invisible, except with telescopes.It once disappeared entirely for a period of four years, but afterward attained extraordinary splendor, only to fade again to invisibility.It is a sun of great size, brighter than our sun when it shines at its brightest, but some trouble, some solar disease, seems to be sapping its vitality, and it resembles a patient alrgost at the last gasp.Once in about 331 days\u2014but the period is irregular\u2014it has a sudden accession of energy and flares up for a little while with several hundredfold brilllancy only to sink back into a dull red point that nearly escapes the ken of the telescope.One interesting explanation that has been suggested is that the surface of Mira periodically bursts into a vast flame of hurning hydrogen, so great and powerful that it is visible across millions of millions of miles of space.It 13 a star for the imagination of a Dante, yet there fs reason to believe that the time js coming when every star in the sky, not excepting the sun, will have to confront a siinilar struggle for exist ence, just as every mortal being must some time see death.\u2014Garrett P.Ser- viss in New York American.What Ile Wanted.\u201cITow will you bave your hair cut, sir?\u201d said the talkative barber to the victim in the chair.\u201cMinns conversational prolixity,\u201d replied the patient.\u201cHow's that, sir?\u201d \u201cWith abbreviated or totally ellml- nated narrations.\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d \u201cWithout effervescent verbosity.Let even diminutive colloquy be conspicuous by its absence.\u201d The barber scratched his head thoughtfully a second and then went over to the proprietor of the shop and whispered, \u201cI don\u2019t know whether that .man ln my chair is mad or a foreigner, but I can\u2019t find out wLat he wants.\u201d The victim had to explain that he wanted the job done in silence.Strange Fog Signal, When fogs prevail in Boston harlor, the attention of passengers on the Nan- tusket Beach line of steamers Is attracted by a faint metallic sound which might be mistaken for the sound of a bell.But it is not the clanging of a Lell which tbe passengers hear.Suddenly through the mist there appears ahead.like a specter, a large tripod, from the apex of which Is suspended a big steel triangle.It is this which causes the strange sound and signals vessels as to how to guide thelr course through the difficult channel of the fog.A Line om Her Age.\u201cOh!\u201d gasped the beautiful woman as she fell back, clutching at her heart, and permitting the telegram to flutter to the floor.Her fashionable guests rushed for ward, crying: \u201cWhat is it?Has your husband met with an accident?\u2019 \u201cNo, no,\u201d she moaned, \u201cIt Is from my son-in-law.I am a grandmother!\u201d The Alteration He Wanted.Customer\u2014Yes;

order to be \u201cgood.\u201d This is not true, however, where weak diges- | tion is to be dealt with.Skim milk con- : tains nearly all the protein of the whole milk, but after the fat in the cream has been removed the milk loses half its fuel value.What is Jeft, however, has a value equal to that of the whole milk for the building and repair of tissue, for the making of blood and muscle and bone, while it bas half the value of the whole milk for supplying heat and muscular power.Buttermilk | is practically sour skim milk.Other things being equal, the milk of a cow which gives a large

Jacket.They all make the mistake of holding the garment too high, especinl- ly the last sleeve.They lift it so that a man nearly dislocated his arm reaching for it.The more tutilely he grabs and claws and lurches for it the higher they hold it until the wretched victim would have to get on a pair of stilts to find the armhole.The proper way?Why, hold the coat so that the armholes are as low down as the man's waist, taking rare to keep the skirt of the garment off the floor, of course.If there is any struggle to find the last armhole, drop It still lower.Never raise it.Drop It until his band slips into It naturally.Sabstitutes For Ten.English cottagers have to use the leaves of shrubs and herbs for tea, such as the black currant.Our Penn- rylvania mountaineers use the Solidago odorata for

Music Served Hot.A phonograph which ean be heard a mile away is the new French invention, the eglephone.The sound is produced by the use of what are called speaking flames, and the principles governing the method were first explained in 1903 by G.C.Porter before the London Physical Society.Mr.Porter found that if à tuning fork be struek and then held in the flame of a Bunsen burned the sound is perceptibly increased.The tnaxi- mum of pound intensity ocenrs when the fork is held where the flame is hottest.The French inventor GG.Lan- det uses à record which has the sound vibrations marked not in depth, but in length, and the stylus travels horizontally, like à pendulum.The stylus separates the gas chamber into twn parts, and the gas then passes on to the burners.The vibration of the disk open and close the gas openings.causing the flow to vary.The sound is Ro intense that it ean be heard a mile away.It can be lessened by ee- gulating the burner, bat the power of sound is found to be always proportional to the energy given out during combustion.\u2014Musical Age.Earnings of Novelists, Authors earn much lesa in France than in England.The late Sir Walter Besant ten years ago estimated that there were fifty novelists in England who earned upward of a thousand a year.There are now probably nearer 150, while in France there are almost certainly not more than fifty who make a living at all.An English novelist of standing will recenve 14 nee on every copy of a book sold, ome novelists receive 2 shillings.Emile Zola, who touched high water mark in France, got a frane, which is rather less than tenpence.Seven- nee halfpenny is considered excel- ent pay, and fourpence and five pence are common, PI contr ram au maman La -

the matter of agricultural and indus- | have issued more stringent rules, re- permanent restoration, to the pro- trial production.The banks show a bundred million dollars more in current loans than a year ago, and an excess of about ninety million dollars in total deposita over the 1905 returns, which alone should point to an enormous excess of business.Comparing the wheat that is grown in Manitoba and the Territories, it will be seen that in 1904 there was a total yield of 56,000,000 bushels in round numbers, against 93,000,000 bushels in the year 1906; this is an increase in wheat production alone of 66.25 per cent in the two-year period.There has also been a considerable excess of oats production over the earlier period, the increase being about 57.40 per cent.The shipments of Canadian cattle this year show an increase of about sixty per cent over last year, and so op all along the list of production, whether agriculture, mining or manufacture.To the railways the devel- opmeat of this business is largely due, offering as they have done every possible facility to farmers and merchants.All things considered, it seems that the railway companies are blamed for not more correctly estimating the volume of products to be shipped during the past season of traffic activity.In this connection it will be interesting to point out that the North-Western Grain Growers\u2019 Association, which is \u2018\u201c\u2018on the spot,\u201d and persumably in touch with cereal conditions, made an estimate of grain yield in August last, that, if accepted by the railway companies as a basis for equipment supplies, would certainly bave left the roads iu pretty much the same plight as they are in to-day.In August the Association made an estimate of eighty-seven million bushels for wheat, while the official figures (which will, no doubt, appear in the Year Book about 1910), are ninety-three million bushels, the .Association\u2019s estimate thus falling short by six million bushels.This alone would not be such a se- 1 Twent-five years ago the engineer of them.| and fireman upon a train, subject to!

Witness.Their armies, of a few hundred men each, are on the marob, and would by this time have come to blows had not the governments of Mexico and the United States interfered to induce them to aettle their dispute in a more reasonable manner.President Diaz, of Mexico, acting on the direct suggestion of President Rousevelt, has sent a note to the Governments of Costa Rica, Salvador and Guatemala, asking them to use every effort to prevent an armed clash between Honduras and | Nicaragua, with an intimation that past treaties must be observed, and the dispute referred to arbitration.This action of the heads of two bigger republics is in accordance with the agreement signed by the republics of Central America in 1806, which provided that the United States of Mexico should have certain powers of conciliation in case ot war between any of them.It will be remembered that last summer the same two presidents interfered to stop the war between Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador at the request of their neighbors.It is therefore,'n order that they should be requested to use their good offices in the cause of peace before the United States and Mexico interfere in a fatherly way to compel them.The request for intervention is practically an admission by the little republics of their inability to keep the peace among themselves.Yet they are united by race, religion and language, are divided for the most part by imaginary boundaries and have no cause for quarrelling, except the personal ambitions of their demagogues and an irrepreseible love of fighting.But having admitted interference by powerful neighbors, they must expect to be disciplined.History shows how all such interference necessarily tends to the progressive loss of independence.INFORMATION RE CLIFTON HOTEL

operatives who have used stimulants, and that, if total abstainers only were employed, the expense of managing the road could be reduced very greatly.Such action is fundamental and far-reach- ing since for generations, the German has conscientiously believed that his beer was advantageous in.the development and strengthening of both his mental and physical powers.Dr.Marcy emphasizes the point that it is not eufficient for trainmen to keep from drinking while on duty they should be abstainers, otherwise their nerves will not be strong enough to stand the strain of their occupation.Most nailwaye do not go as far as this.Says the writer: The railways authorities of the United States are widely awake as to the dangers, to their various systems from the monetary standpoint as also from a humanitarian point of view.As I have just shown, every railway wreck involves a large loss.By sta- tatory enactment every passenger killed represent a loss of five thousand dollars, and many that are permanently injured obtain much larger sums, The damage to equipment and freight is so enormous as to endanger the profits of the corporation itself.Therefore it behooves these great companies not alone to especially train their important servants watching carefully over their physical condition, seeing to it that, as far as possible, their duties are assigned to them at regular hours, with an insistence of taking proper rest and food, and then demand of them when on duty the highest type of possible efficiency.In the srmy, no matter how fatigued, the sentinel has bis four hours of rest

often that such unsavory cages require to be investigated as the one which came to such an unexpected termination in Iberville last Friday.Two girls, Leduc and Jary, passed some eleven days and nights in company with a number of young fellows of St.Johns and Iberville in various places on the river bank, There was one long carousal, which ended, as carousals occasionally do, in a tragic manner.Eva Leduc was certainly not well during the greater part of the eleven days; exposure and abuse did not tend to improve matters, and she was finally taken home in a serious condition, and soon died.No doctor having been called in during her illness, the Coroner ordered an inquest to be held, which was done Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of last week.A great many witnessess were examined, including the young fellows who had been with the deceased.After hearing the evidence of Drs.Duval and Moreau, the Jury returned.a verdict to the effect that the de- cegsed\u2019s death was caused by cerebral meningitis.Dr.Chevalier, however, refused to accept this simple verdict.He argued that it was necessary to lay down what had brought on the meningitis.On the refusal of the jury to alter their verdict, the Coroner dismissed them.He has now forwarded all the papers in connection with the case to the Attorney-Gen- eral in Quebec.THE STRENUOUS LIFE.Nature will have her compensations.Our

Legislature Friday afternoon.Mr.Gosselin, member for Missis- quoi, proposed the following amendment, that: \u201cThe company shall, without delay, establish and maintain a daily service each way over the entire extent of its line, sufficiently and properly equipped for the conveyance of agricultural products, and shall also make arrangements with connecting lines for the prompt and safe forwarding of such products to their destination.The above obligation shall be binding upon the company and any one holding or controlling its line under lease, sale, transfer or otherwise.Mr.Mackenzie, of Richmond, objected to this amendment, saying that the Philipsburg Railway and Quarry Company was a private company and, by the same, not bound to ran under the obligation inserted in Mr.Gosselin\u2019s amendment.After several other members had expressed their opinions the disons- slon was adjourned to give every member an opportunity to study the subject.\u2018SOUTH AMERICAN

Hens.The coziest and most practical de- vide imaginable for furnishing warmth and comfort to the hens during winter nights has recently been suggested.After a thorough cleaning of the floor in the poultry house a stout hickory post about two and one-half inches in o diameter is driven firmly down about three feet from the wall.If the house is small, so only one is needed.put it in a corner.Sharpen the top of this stake and set thereon a discarded asus 5 m8 LTO ay.M which will accommodate from twenty- = five to thirty hens, according to size BS of wheel.a a roost delights the hens.The spokes SX are all on a level.The rim and spokes make a natural foothold, there is no falling off, and the Biddies sit in a .À fluffy bunch, Â please.DER But the roost is only part of the HE plan.If the wheel is placed in a cor- as \u201ccomfy\u201d as you ner the two walls will furnish two : TE gides of the proposed \u201cbedroom.\u201d Bet 32 a post of 1 by 2 inch strip four feet j from each of the side walls.Nail other strips from the top of this post LE (which should be two feet higher than ) the wheel) to the side walls.From YE these strips hang a curtain made of a either canvas, muslin, coarse burlap a or old carpet, according to convenience, which can be rolled or put up 4e in the daytime out of the way.Over the top make either a board covering or one of the curtain material.Ta this way the hens are comfortable i A NEW STYLE OF ROOST.even in a cold house.In many respects burlap is the best curtain material, as it admits air, yet is draft proof.The wheel should not be more than 30 inches from the floor.The \u201chop up\u201d box will prove a convenience.The wheel is also very easily cleaned.Take it outside and after placing it 5 on a bunch of straw fire it for a brief space, or it can be readily sprayed other.The advantages of this scheme, as described in Towa Homestead, are evident.The old way of fastening the roosts makes it difficult to success- tully fight lice and mites.It is also a great economizer of room.The floor space thus saved can be kept clean for scratching purposes.ar er Gr or ps : Trimming a Colt's Hoofs.Several years ago an old farrier gave me the following advice in trimming a colt\u2019s hoof, which I think is : excellent, writes a correspondent of 2 The Chicago Inter Ocean.Cut down = the hoof at the heels till the frog bare- 38 ly rests upon the ground.Never un- ! der any consideration trim down the 12 frog or pare it.Some trim the frog A or pare it go they can trim down the ve sides of the hog! the more.This should never be done.The front of the hoof should be trimmed to give it the proper pitch or position.The front should not be too long to give the ankle too much of a twist or too short to hold the ankle too erect.The best floor for homes is the clay floor.This keeps the proper moisture, and the hoof does not dry out as it does upon the board floor.Next to it, perhaps, is a floor of cinders well tamped down.ghia rn rnin Mes Dairy Farming, fi dairying agree with an Indiana man 4 who says: Dairy farming adds to instead of subtracting from the fertility of the farm, and the dairyman leaves to posterity the land over which he has held stewardship in better condition than he found it.Dairying adds to the profits of the farm without making much difference to the other branches of farming carried on.Mixed farming is recognized as the best, and where dairying is included with the other p branches will be found the most progressive of all farming.It fits in and rounds out perfect farming; it fills a place that cannot be filled by any other industry with the same degree of financial success.Dairying is the highest form of agriculture.\u2014Farm Progress.To Relieve Heaves.The veterinary of

inch hole is bored in the side of the barrel about three inches from the bottom\u2014i.e., the opening is three inches from the floor.on which the barrel stands.The lower hole being stopped, the barrel is filled | with water.The large bung is then inserted airtight.The sled is now drawn to the field near the shelter houses, and the small stopper is removed.The water runs out, filling the shallow box forming the top of the sled to the level of the small opening in the barrel.The hogs may drink at any corner of the box.As the water is consumed more runs out.Two such barrels are placed in each inclosure and filled once or twice a day or as often as they , become empty.| New barrels are fre uently not airtight.To remedy thin defect when the openings which admit the air are not

He was told it was strong as eternal i rock.(We called him & lamb of the newest ' oe But the fool he bought an enormous block.(Even as you and I) we make, And the spoil of our head and hand Belong to the Magnate who knew too much, (And now we know that he knew too much), But we didn\u2019t understand.the first man to adopt the cardinal | principle of recognition of the rights ofethe child in the administration of justice.Judge Lindsey said that he had early found that he could not judge a case and stop at that.No good had .been done, and especially in cases of - child offender, he wanted to see what the child had been before and what ~ he became after his appearance in the courts.This had led him to a study of the environment of juvenile offenders, and to a recognition that it was this environment that was usually responsible for the offence.The work of the juvenile courts was thus arranged on the basis of a cop- bination of the judge, the school teacher, and the probation officer to build up influences for good in the environment of the boy, and to strengthen all the good that was in him.Good was to be found in the worst of them.There was no such thing as a bad boy\u2014they were only misunderstood boys, and Judge Lindsey adopted the principle of trusting them, believing in them and overcoming evil with good.There had been plenty of laws for the proper treatment of juvenile criminals, but these had been ignored and forgotten.The only new legal enactment secured had been a law defining delinquency and placing the responsibility upon parents, guardians, and others of the child\u2019s moral wellbeing.! The right principle was to consider not what the boy had done, but what | he was.In pursuance of this principle, boys when charged with crime in Denver were not locked up nor accused of criminality.They were | sent to detention schools and put to |! work either at lessons or at some manual employment, exactly as they should normally be doing if at liberty, The boy was praised when he did well, was trusted, and carefully studied; his weak points were noted, and he was trained to develop resistance where it was needed.The results were, as most people knew, remarkable.! Too much leniency, however, was dangerous, though not so dangerous as brutality.It was fatal to allow a boy to get off by a successful lie.The truth had to be got at, and they got at it, though sometimes it took weeks i of exhausting effort.| foyer,\u201d A well known Jersey breeder says ' that one mistake many farmers make is in breeding Jersey heifers In conclusion, the speaker said that the courts must work for the child, and not against the child.There could be no justice without love.and it was his object not to reform boys, but to teach them to reform themselves._\u2014 Similes.The following interesting lines, of which the composer is unknown, but which have long drifted about in the newspapers, contain all the stock comparisons most frequently used in conversation, arranged in such a manner as to rhyme.The poem, if it can so be called, has been rescued from oblivion by Miss Carolyn Wells in \u201cA Whimsey Anthology.\u201d As wet as a fish\u2014as dry as a bone: As live as a bird\u2014as dead as a stone; As plump as a partridge\u2014as poor as a rat; As strong as a horse\u2014as weak as a cat; As hard as & flint\u2014as soft as a mole; As white as a lilv\u2014as black as a coal; As plain as a pike-stafi\u2014as rough as - a bear; As light as a drum\u2014as free as the air; As heavy as lead\u2014as light as a feather; As steady as time\u2014uncertain as weather; As hot as an oven\u2014as cold as a frog; As gay as a lark\u2014as sick as a dog; As slow as the tortoise\u2014as swift as the wind: As true as the gospel\u2014as false as mankind.Language Describes the Home.In no other language, according to tle London Telegraph, is there a word expressing the ideas and associations which are aroused at the sound of the simple yet heart-touching word, \u201chome.\u201d A Frenchman once translated Cardinal Newman\u2019s hymn, \u201cLead, Kindly Light,\u201d and in his hands the beautiful line, \u2018The night is dark, and I am far from home,\u201d became \u201cLa nuit est sombre, et je suis loin de mon the translator having been obliged to use for home the French word which deseribes the greenroom i of a theatre.too ! young.A better way is to let them : The Italian and 8panish \u201ccasa\u201d the German \u201c\u201chaus\u2019\u2019\u2014their \u201cheim\u201d is get their growth, at least three years.| too general to have any particular | Keep them in a separate lot, if ne- | value\u2014and the Russian \u201cdoma.\u201d all | cessary, after they are eighteen | refer to a building of some kind or ; months old.If* permitted to bring .other, and have none of the memories | calves before they have their growth - they make small cows and yield less milk The calves also are smaller, as \u2018a rule.| Winter Pig Food.Potatoes that are too small to market may be used to advantage as a von, AAI soc 0 of constigition, | | } | | and associations that cluster round the precious British word.21,518 Miles of Railroad.Canada\u2019s railway mileage is 21,518, an increase of 917 over the year before, according to the Railways and Canals annual report.There were 21,- 853 miles of railroad in operation and 4,085 miles of siding.During the year on all of the railroads in Canada there were 361 persons killed, of whom 16 were passengers, 139 employes and :206 persons who were neither.The.\u2018injured numbered 1,905, 239 passengers, 80 employes and 240 persons \u2018who were neither.On July 1, 1906, (electric railways had a capital of $68,- | © gross earnings for the : Electric rail.867,000.Th pour ver 120,506 678.Le and 98 otbers.The tara.-num 1,056.A fool there was and his stock he sold (Even as you and I !)

Of the South African papers little - was known in America, nor did the exert much influence outside the colony, though they were often well written and ably conducted.The press of Great Britain the speaker considered to be the ablest in the world, as it was the oldest.Of recent years a certain amount of Ameri- : ean disregard of accuracy has been introduced, and some American violence of tone, but, on the whole, the English press was likely to remain dignified, able, and respectable.It was one of the greatest influences which England was exerting upon the world.A Woman of the Day.Lady Edgar, President of the National Council of Women of Canada, is the widow of the Hon.Sir James | David Edgar, K.C.M.G., P.C., late Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada.She has held the offices of President and Vice-President of the Women\u2019s Canadian Historical Society, | has been Vice-President of the United | Empire Loyalist Society, and was for ten years Secretary of the Infants\u2019 Home and Infirmary of Toronto.Lady | Edgar has contributed from time to time articles on historical subjects to magazines and journals.Her first | book, \u201cTen Years of Upper Canada in | Peace and War,\u201d won the praise of | \u2018the late Mr.Gladstone as the best | book he had ever read on Canada.Her | next production, \u201cThe Life of General Brock,\u201d appeared in the \u201cMakers i of Canada Series,\u201d in 1905, and has | been favorably reviewed in the English and Canadian press.Lady Edgar | is now engaged in writing the life of | James Edgar, Secretary to the Chevalier de St.George, which is bting compiled by permission of King Edward ! rom letters and manuscripts in the | [Royal libraries.A For Shut In Hens.;

men are getting the worst of it in the earlier stages of the Boer war, he conceives the idea of stimulating patriotic pride by writing a novel in which a worthless loafer enlists and in the field finds himself and develops into a conquering hero.That sounds quite Kiplingesque.; To get the proper local color for his book he goes to Cape Town with his wife and child.Leaving them, he : Starts for the veldt.À message reaches him that his child is dangerously ill.On his way back to Cape Town he is captured by a Boer, who, on hearing his story, lets him go and assists him on his way.By this means he succeeds in reaching his child in time to kiss it before it dies.In the course of the war the Boer is taken prisoner and condemned to death.It is then Dingley shows that he is no true Kipling after all.He refuses to intercede for the chivalrous foe who had befriended him and he is executed.Dingley\u2019s novel makes a hit.Its dramatic incidents are shown by a bioscope in & London music hall, And the picture of the execution of the Boer arouses tremendous enthusiasm.The book is not calculated to promote the entente cordiale.And friends of Kipling will resent the association of his characteristics with those of a dastardly ingrate.But it is a_powerful, vigorous work.It is the joint production of two brothers, Jerome and Jean Theraud, who are not yet 80 years of age.They are journalists by profession and devote their leisure to writing novels.Their methods are those of Kipling.They insist on seeing things themselves and studying life in all its phases at close range instead of depending on their imaginations for characters and incidents.Fame has come to them earlier than it did to Kipling, and brilliant literary careers are predicted for them.John Burns As a Minister.Mr.T.W.Russell, M.P., has lately been giving his views of various parliamentary colleagues.What he has to say about John Burns is particularly interesting.After reminding us that Mr.Burns is a Scot who has come south to show the mere Saxon how things ought to be done, Mr.Russell roceeds :\u2014\u2018\u2019An engineer by trade, Mr.urns has combined hard work with effective social and political agitation.He has dealt with \u2018niggers\u2019 in Africa, has defied the law in Trafalgar Square, been at least once in gaol, worked hard on the County Couneil\u2014 still harder in the House of Com- mons\u2014is strong in body and mind.And as President of the Local Government Board he has now to deal with the most acute of all our social prob- lems\u2014the poor law and want of employment.And it is a problem which e wisely refuses to have rushed.Mr.Burns, sitting in Charles street, has a fine scope for his powers as a statesman,\u2014and even for his imagination, which sometimes runs away with him.In the crucial question of unemployment it was a study to watch him dealing with the Socialists last session.\u201cWhat Mr.Burns would do\u2014seated- in Mr.Gerald Balfour\u2019s chair\u2014is a nice question.All throughout the session Mr.Keir Hardie and his friends wanted to know what he intended to do\u2014when the \u2018Unemployed Bill\u2019 referred to in the King\u2019s Speech was going to see the light.\u2018All in good time,\u201d was the invariable reply.\u2018I am not going to be rushed.I must have time to look into the whole question.I don\u2019t believe in your processions\u2014 ; in your women marches\u2014and all the rest of it.I know all about that sort of thing\u2014and it does not impress me.Nor do I believe in the clamor about farm and labor colonies.I have seen at work.I don\u2019t in_ certain Salvation I believe the un- yed are to a large extent the \u201c\u2018unemployable.\u2019\u201d\u2019 The loafer is largely even believe Army methods.o - in evidence.And T want to get to the bottom of the thing before I act.I mean business\u2014but of a real kind.Two hundred thousand pounds will be available from the State, should necessity arise during the winter.And when I have closed my enquiries and fay the bill > efore.A Great Engineer.Sir Alexander Kennedy is ons of the foremost figures in the engineering world.It was in 1875 that Sir Alexander devised and established the engineering laboratory at University College, which was the first of its kind in this country.He has acted as chief engineer to the Westminster Electric Supply Corporation, Limited, since its formation, and designed the whole system of its various stations.A great number of Scottish and North of England towns owe their system of electric lighting to Sir Alexander\u2019s schemes.The South London, electric tramways, and the Waterloo and City Electric Railway are other enterprises for the success of \u2018which this distinguished engineer is in the main responsible.But possibly Bir Alexander's greatest claim to public gratitude was his unflinching attitude in the matter of engine and boiler trials at sea.He emphasized the necessity of separating the boiler trials from those of the engine, and although his ideas were received with great opposition, he eventually obtain.re OLD ENGLISH INNS, Famous In Literature\u2014One Nas Been | Licensed For 560 Yeara\u2014The Taverns of Dickens.There nothing ;

Historic Hostelry.Among the houses with historic associations are the Crown and Treaty at Uxbridge, where the Commissioners of King and Parliament vainly sought for peace in 1645; the Saracen\u2019s Head Southwell, where Byron hobnobbed at the bar, and where Charles I.dined with the Scotch Commissioners and gave himself into their hands: the Red Lion at High Wycombe, where Disraeli made his first political speech; the Greyhound, at Thame.where John Hampden came mortally wounded, prone upon his horse's neck; the Red Lion, Hillingdon; where the Merry Monarch lay the first night of his distracted

to a predecessor\u2014the story of Jarman, the innkeeper, and his wife, who contrived an ingenious murder-trap in the principal bedroom.And the \u201cOstrich\u201d\u2019 delights in the old

History.Kingston is the capital of the Island of Jamaica and the pricipal seaport and commercial city of that stand, It is situated on the south coast and on the north side of a fine harbor.The atter is a land-locked basin, available for the largest ships, and is enclosed on the south by a long tongue of land at the extremity of which ia Port Royal.The population of Kingston is about 50,000., The only volcano formation on the island is that at the Low Layton and Retreat estates in the Parish of Portland, a rite from the sea, in the ounty urrey, in which Kings is situated.y gston In 1692 a great earthquake destroyed Port Royal, of whose 3,000 houses only 200 remained standing.It was this catastrophe which led to the founding of Kingston.In 1872 a severe conflagration visited Kingston, destroying property valued at $2,500,000, and in 1843 another fre caused damage of about $15,000,- In August, 1880, a cyclone destroyed nearly all the wharves in Kingston harbor and damaged shipping.There was a double earthquake at Kingston on Dec.7, 1880.A tremendous hurricane visited Jamaica in 1815.The island was deluged, hundreds of houses were washed away, vessels wrecked and about 1,000 persons drowned.Kingston is laid out with regular and wide streets, and the better class of houses are neatly built, with wide verandahs and surrounded by handsome gardens.Street cars run to the suburbs, and two lines of railway connect the city with the northern and eastern parts of the island.Kingston has a botanical garden, library, museum, hospital and various other public buildings, and is the seat of an Anglican bishopric.The harbor is considered to be one of the finest in the world, and is protected by forts.There is a naval arsenal at Port Royal.Nearly all the trade of Jamaica centres at Kingston.The exports are mainly sugar, rum, coffee, dyewoods and fruits.At the intersections of King and Queen streets, a [plaza or parade ground was reserved, forming a square ECENE OF TRE DISASTER.of 10 acres in the centre of Kingston.This was formerly used as a market, place and parade ground for the troops and militia, but this central portion is now enclosed and converted y the government into a garden, which adds much to the appearance of the town and to the comforts and enjoyments of the inhabitants.On account of the very gravelly nature of the soil on which Kingston stands, surplus water readily sinks and finds its ey to the sea, the result being that Kingston is one of the healthiest seaport towns in the West Indies.The buildings are\u2014or were\u2014nearly all of wood and of a character that would be easily prostrated by a severe series of stocks.Most of the business section is located on Harbor street, at the head of which.in the east end was the Myrtle Bank.The prevailing direction of the wind at this season of the year is from the northeast, the island being in the zone of the northeast trade winds.Nearly all of the private residences are outside the city, to the north, and are built of limestone.A fire on the east side of the city during this season of the year, when the trades are very strong, has been dreaded for many years, Three slight shocks were felt in Kingston during November, but they were no greater than those sometimes felt in New England and were not regarded with any apprehensions.The island itself has usually been looked upon as being outside the earthquake belt of the West Indies and is of limestone formation rather than of volcanic origin.Jamaica is an island of the Greater Antilles, in the West Indies, and belongs to Great Britain.The length is 144 miles and the greatest width 50 miles, with an area of 4,000 square miles.It is situated in the Caribbean sea, 80 miles south of the western part of Cuba, and has Kingston as its capital.The surface is generally mountainous, the Blue Mountains in the east rising to a height of over 7,000 feet.The island has abundant vegetable and mineral resources, and among its chief exports sugar, rum, coffee, fruits and dyewoods.The population is about 800,000 and is overwhelmingly negro, the white population numbering only about 30,- 000.\u2018 The capital of Jamaica has a population of more than 50,000 añd is the most important city in the British West Indies.It is modern and wholly commercial.The eity was originally laid out in the form of a cross, but the rebuilding after a succession of destructive fires has made for considerable alteration from the original design of two broad streets crossing at right angles.It has all the conveniences of modern civilization, having electric ears upon its service, and a telephone system, while the facilites, for supplying water are of the Kingston has been a favorite resort of the tourist, and has become,

its ependencies, to quote the official title, has residence at King\u2019s House, situated five miles from the Government buildings in the shadow of the lofty mountain range that overshadows the capital.It is expected that this structure and the barracks at Newcastle, 3,000 feet higher up the mountain, at which the imperial troops are stationed, have escaped destruction.Jamaica has a debt of about $17,- 000,000, due to the extensiveness with which modern improvements have been carried on during the last twenty years.The exports to the United States aggregate about $10,000,000 and to Great Britain and elsewhere about $5,000,000, while the imports trom the United States are valued at about $4.- 500,000, and from other countries about $7,000,000.There are a number of important railway lines, one extending northwest from Kingston to Montego Bay, 113 miles, and another northeast to Port Antonio, 75 miles.Jamaica is said to be, next to Bar- of the islands in the British West Indies.It is divided into three counties, Surrey, Middlessex and Cornwall.The Elder-Dempster is a direct mail line, which covers the 5,000 miles distance in about twelve days.The island lies directly in the route of steamers between the isthmus and all the United States Atlantie ports.Discovered by Columbus in 1494, the Spaniards started a settlement there in 1509, and in 18565, after a bloody conflict, the island passed into the possession of Great Britain, in whose though the Dons were ousted the conquerors had, during the eighteenth century, much trouble with the Maroons or runaway slaves, whose insurrections were numerous and attended by many atrocities resulting in severe acts of reprisal.In 1834 the black slaves were emancipated by purchase, but in 1865 a fresh rebellion broke forth and was suppressed by Governor Eyre._ Senator Beith.Mr.Robert Beith, M.P., of Bowman- ville, who has just been called to the Senate, has long been one of the leaders in the stock-raising industry of this Province.He was born on May 17th, 1843, in Durham county.Early in life he acquired an extensive knowledge of farming and became deeply interested in stock breeding and stock raising.He principally devoted his talents along this line to the importing and breeding of thor- SENATOR BRITH.oughbred horses, until his name has attained a national reputation.But Robert Beith\u2019s brain was not always thinking of his stock farms.Interested in public affairs, a Liberal of pronounced opinions, and possessing the confidence of the members of that party in his native county, he was elected to the House of Commons in 1891 for West Durham.Again in 1896, and in the bye-election of 1901, he successfully contested the constituency.During his tenure of office as & member of the House of Commons he has
