but the State | undertakes to carty people's letters | and newspapers, and now, through its parcel post service, it also un-, dertakes to carry certain lraited | quantities of merchandise.| And the service is performed at a | minimum of cost, for the carrlage of a letter from Sydney to Vancouver, By what | other system could the service be performed for that trifling sum, A section of the report that con-! talus much that is curious is that dealing with dead letters.During the | year the Dead Letter Branch dealt with a few 1 ore than three million Three cents pays letters, books, and parcels, and it disposed of ull except thirty-eight | thousand.The contents of these dead pieces of mail matter are described, and the tabulated statement shows what a wide range of articles is covered by the contents of the :mail | bags.These arc a few typical items selected from the long list which fills twenty pages of the report: Almost seven thouzand of these dead letters contained inoney, and.more than sixicen thousand contain-' ed bills of exchinge, notes, cheques, drufts, bonds, letters of credit, or money orders; 15 contained aMda- vits: 44, aprons; one an automobile nutber tag; 4, golf balls; 6, Bibles; | one, a book on the German Militia; 3, prayer books; one, butterflies; one, a certificate of a baseball player; one, champagne; 107, cigarettes; one diamonds: more than 300, articles of gold, various | such as bracelets, medals, pins, watches, chains, and charms; 243, legal documents; 29,\u2019 maple sugar; 9, mouth organs;

for Lord Burnham was the Daily Telegraph, and the Daily Telegram was Lord Burpham, During his sixty years of work, or during the greater part of it, no single personal influence in British Journalism has been equal to iis, The Daily Telegraph is one of the great newspapers of the world.Lord Burnham's father established it a little over sixty years ago, and Lord Burnham had been identified with its history ever since.It was the first successful penny newspaper in Great Britain.In his very early days he worked for the removal of the newspaper tax, and brought the morning's news to the poorest breakfast table.Through many changing Governments Lord Burnham occupied an outside position of strength, and his power was frequently above Cab- {nets.It is an open secret that His Majesty looks at The Daily Telegraph , every breakfast to see what he himself has been doing and saying, and is made to feel in its columns, more than anywhere else, that his realm has four estates.\u201cEdward Rex, of | Fleet Street,\u201d was one of the late King Edward\u2019s jesting titles for hig namesake, | Lord Burnham was of Jewish extraction.He was born in London, on ; December 28, 1833, the son of Joseph Moses Levy.His education he received at University College, Lon+ don.In his early days he was known as Edward Levy, but under the will ; of bis uncle, Lionel Lawson, he as sumed the name of Lawson in 1875, by Royal license.He was created a baronet in 1892; and was raised to the peerage as Baron Burnham in 1903.In 1904 he was created a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order.He was a Lieutene ant for the City of London, and a Deputy Lieutenant and Justice of the .Peace for Buckinghamshire, He became High Sheriff for Buckingham shire in 1886; and President of ihe Royal Institute of Journalists in | At Hall Barn, his seat in Bucking- 2amshire, where he owned 4,000 acres, Lord Burnham entertained many distinguishe.guests, including King Edward and King George, and \u2018famous statesmen, travelers, journalists, and others, from every part of the world.Under Lord Burnhams aggressive management, the paper became dis tinguished for its enterprise in many fields.In 1873 it despatched George Smith to carry out archaeological researches in Nineveh, which resulted in the discovery of the missing fragments of the cuneiform account of the Deluge.In co-operation with the New York Herald it equipped H.M.Stanley's second great expedition to ; Central Africa (1875-1877), Another | feat was the exploration of the Kilimanjaro, by Sir Marry Johnston, id | 1884-85, : Irish Emigration Drops.Official fig \u2018res of Irish emigration for 1915 are the lowest on record.Excluding the emigrants \u2014 about 8,000\u2014to Great Britain, most of , whom went there for work in the , munition factories, the total number of emigrants from Ireland to all parts of the world was just over 8,000.The yearly average for the last 15 years was more than 34,000.The change is due in part to the war, and also partly to the gradual amelioration of conditions in Ireland, owing to the remedial legislation.The figures show a drop of 57 per cent, below those of the previous year, which were unusually low.There has been for some years a steady diminution \": emigration.Ulster heads the list of emigrants, with Leinster next, Connaught third, and Munster last, In 1914 the passages of 3,762 emigrants were paid for by friends in the United States.Last year the number of passages | paid was only 596.;

Intoxicants\u2014Council Sanctions Application.CONCRETE PROBLEM DISCUSSED An adjourned meeting of the municipal council was held on Monday evening, Mayor Gilmore and Councilors Lowell, Hammond, Ball, Clark, Jenkins and Melloon being present.Action on the application from Mrs.Annie H.Gilmore tor a license to keep a temperance hotel was the first item of business.The mayor read a letter from Mrs.Gilmore in which she promised not to allow the sale of intoxicants on the premises and to maintain a first-class temperance hotel.In view of these promises the application was granted, on motion of Councilor Ball, seconded by Councilor Olark, and supported by Councilors Hammoud and Lowell.The application of J.A.Brunette for a license to keep & pool room was granted on motion of Councilor Melloon, seconded by Councilor Lowell.There was some questioning, the genersl consensus of opinion being that the place was properly conducted and a safe place in the hands of the custodian, Ben Smith.The failure of the concrete wall in front of A.O.Cowles\u2019, property on foundry hill, was the subject of considerable discussion.While it was generally agreed that this failure was due to inferior gravel, iosufficient cement and careless workmanship, it was maintained that all cement work undertaken by the corporation had been a failure.Councilor Melloon was particularly insistent upon this matter.He sald the corporation had expended thousands of dollars for cement work which was all going to pieces.He was opposed to any more of it.Others pointed to cement work which was considered a success.There was some talk of useing granite instead of cement on the Cowles wall.One advantage pointed out was that if it should fall down it could be rebuilt with the same material.Finally Mayor Gilmore and Conncilor Jeukins were named a special committee to deal with the matter with full power to act.Attention was called to the fact that a small section of the new gravel sidewalk on the hill back of U.Eugene Lee\u2019s building, had caved in.It was said that the deed of that particular spot from ©.W.Stevens to Mr.Lee obligated the latter to maintain a proper concrete retaining wall to support the bank above.It was pointed out that Mr.Lee\u2019s present condition was such that he could not reasonably be approached on the subject, and expression was given to the opinion that under the circumetances Mr.Stevens might be held responsible.The affair appeared in a somewhat different light when it was shown that the corporation bad not yet taken over the road at this particular point.One of the matters which the council had under consideration was Lhe payment for the tarvia bound mac- adam roadway through the village, the same forming a link in the Sher- brooke-Derby Line highway.When did not think the method of construction used in the purely rural sections, equal to the stress of traffic bere and by special agreernent with the contractors secured a very superior roadway, the cost of which was somewhat in excess of the amount anticipated.Of the four thousand dollars in volved .it is understood the Quebec Government would be willing to assume responsibility for one thousand, and resolution providing for payment of $3,000 to Dohney & O\u2019Brien, contractors, in full settlement of their claim against the municipality, was authorized.The following bills were hom- ologated: International Water Company 8254.82, Sherbrooke Railway & Power Company $68.30, M.F.Hackett 87.00, George Lepete 50 cents.TRYING WORK IN THE TRENCHES.Pte.Thomas Allen of 42nd

trenches a few days ago, after the hardest and most trying time we have had yet.It snowed nearly all the time we were in, and our last afternoon in the Germans started to shell our trenches.They sent them over quite fast too, and gave us a most uncomfortable afternoon.We had quite a number of casulaties, but they must have had more; it was fine the way our artillery retaliated.The same night, three of us were walking along a road, after leaving tbe communication trench, when Fritz turned his machine gun on the road.The bullets were quite close, only a little too high, or I shouldn\u2019t

youthful offend- ets, is credited with having made the observation that the movies were worse than saloons.And we will all agree that that is saying a whole lot, much more, in fact, than most of us are inclined to believe.But, if the movies are not actually worse than saloons, there are times when they are much worse than they ought to be, The cheapest sort of melodrama is thrown on the scenes to the delight of Mi the bulk of the audience.The thief, the murderer, the seducer, all the undesirable types are featured on occasion, and it is little wonder that picturing crimes in detail prompts harmful thoughts in youthful minds.Youth is imitative, and in this is the great danger of the movies in presenting scenes of crime.; Yet it is unwise to argue againet the use of a thing because of ite abuse.The proper course is to eliminate the undesirable and harmful features.The movies offer a great, almost unlimited fleld of usefulness.They can be educative and instructive, they can be entertaining without being demoralizing.Itisinto these channels which they should be turned.It may be claimed that the public taste has to be catered to, and jn a measure this ie true, but is it really true that the public taste is for scenes of lawlessness and crime?The standard of the public taste can be improved and brought to higher planes if the movie men only realize it and undertake to do it.There is today too much trash served up to the millions who frequent the moving picture houses of the country, yet it is not unreasonable to axpect that there will be a steady improvement in the quality of the pictures shown.ABOUT OUR NEIGHBORS.Mrs.Willlam Minor died from pneumonia on April 6th, 1916, at her home, near Fitch Bay.The funeral was held in the Advent Church, Fitch Bay, Rev.F.W.8.Walden, of Magog, officiating, assisted by Rev.Robert Vaughan.There are two applicants for a license in Norton, Vt.; they are W.J.Oarpenter and John Daniele.For aome years Carpenter bas conducted a liguor shop on the Canadian side, back of his hotel which is in Vermont.Bar- ford having gone \u2018\u2018dry\u201d and Norton \u201cwet,\u201d Mr.Carpenter decided to establish a bar on the American side.Only one licenee will be granted in Norton, and the license commission appointed by the select men will decide whether this will go to Carpenter or Daniels.The latter has no hotel, but would keep a saloon, and it is believed he stands more than an even chance of getting the license.There is no good reason why the guests of an hotel should be disturbed by the sale of booze, and there is also no good reason why a saloon should not stand or fall on its own merits.Alfred R.Quaiffee, vault clerk of the United States treasury, who has handled somewhere in the neighborhood of

MINOR, MR.WILLIAM MINOR, \u201c Howtoavcid \u2018Operations These Three Women Tell How They Escaped the Dreadful Ordeal of Surgical Operations.Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills eculiar to their sex.Many letters on file in the Pinkham aboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an operation have been made well by Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound.Here are three such letters.All sick women should read them.Marinette, Wis\u2014\u201cI went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation for a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time.I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time.I took Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound and was cured, and I feel better in every way.I give you permission to publish my name because am so thankful that feel well again.\u201d | Mrs.FRED BERNKE, Marinette, Wis.y Detroit, Mich\u2014\u201c When I first took Lydia E.= 2 Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound I was so run down With female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor \u2018said I would have to undergo an operation.I could hardly walk without help so when I read about the Vegetable Compound and what it had done for others I thought I would try it.I got a bottle of Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Vegetable Compound and a package of Lydia E.Pinkham\u2019s Sanative Wash and used them according to directions.They helped me and today Iam able to do all my work and Tam well.\u201d Mrs.os.Dwyer, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich.Bellevue, Pa\u2014\u201c I suffered more than tongue can tell with terrible bearing down pains and inflammation.I tried several doctors and they all told me the same story, that I never could get well without an operation and I just dreaded the thought of that.I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none of them helped me until a friend advised me to-give Lydia E.Pink- ham\u2019s Vegetable Compound a trial.The first bottle helped, I kept taking it and now I don\u2019 kmow what it is to be sick any more and I am picking up in weight, Iam 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds.It will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the gppor- tunity to recommend it to any other suffering

the second by the equally physical fact that few people in these days go to bed in their boots.It is beyond question that dreams are \u2018started or suggesied not only by these personal hints, but by external events, usually a nolse.\u2014 London Observer.Legend of iCing Marko.King Marko, who ranks as the Ser vian King Arthur, was the son of King Vukashin, whom he denounced for usurping the throne, which rightly belonged to Urosh, son of Dushan.Vukashin cursed him and prayed that he might have neither tomb nor posterity and be doomed to serve \u201cthe czar of the Turks.\u201d But Urosh blessed him and prayed that he might know no equal in wisdom or prowess and be remembered as long as the earth endured.\u201cThus they spake and thus it came to pass,\u201d says an old Bervian ballad.Marko fought for the sultan, but \"the sultan feared him, for his wrath was terrible,\u201d and, though he knew no sepulture, be lived, say the legends, for 300 yeurs.He still lives in the hearts of patriotic Servians, many ot whom believe that one day be will awake and come forth to restore the glories of the former empire.\u2014Pall Mall Gazette.The Athenian \u201cLiturgy.\u201d One of the most interesting cases of voluntary taxation is the ancient Athenian \u201cliturgy,\u201d which mennt something It and a man in the east end who saw | very different from the liturgy of today, the etymological meaning of the word being \u201cpublic work.\u201d The liturgy.was a special contribution made to the state by a wealthy citizen or group of citizens.There were ordinary litur.gles, such as the provision of the chorus for a great tragedy, and extraordinary ones, such as the equipment or maintenance of a warship.The liturgy was fundamentally a tax, and it was often evaded by all sorts of shifts.But in the palmy days of Athens it was considered disgraceful for those upon whoin it was imposed to do no more than the luw exacted, and sometimes rich citizens would volunteer a liturgy from public spirit or to win popularity.\u2014London Chronicle.Keen on the Cash.Shrilling loudly in the silence of the night, the chemist's bell aroused him from slumber.With reluctance he wrapped himself in a dressing gown and went downstairs, shivering, to be met at the door by a placid looking man who merely wanted a bottle of soda water.The chemist's feelings were strong, but he resolved to do business.\u201cTwopence extra on the bottle,\u201d he murmured blandly, \u201cwhich will be allowed on return.\u201d Then he retuned to bed.Two hours later the bell rang again.Once more be went down.Again it was the placid looking man.\u201cThere\u2019s your bottle,\u201d he said caim- ly.\u201cGimme my twopence.\u201d\"\u2014London Answers.Power of Ocean Breakers.Experiments made at the Bell Rock and Skerryvore lighthouses, on the Scottish coast, have shown that, while the force of breakers in the German ocean may be taken as about a ton and a half on every square foot of surface, Atlantic breakers fall with a weight of about three tons to the square foot.On one occasion during a heavy gale huge blocks of granite were washed about like pebbles at the Plymouth breakwater, carried 200 feet up its inclined plane and scattered beyond it in all directions.One of the blocks weighed two tons.Motions of the Earth, The time occupied by the earth in its circuit of 580,000,000 miles is 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, giving an sverage velocity of about 66,000 miles an hour.The earth wabbles as it epins, just as a top will wabble if it fs prevented from spinning upright One webbie takes about 20,000 years.Imagination.It is Imagination rather than rea.soa that distinguishes man from brute, and no person who is devoid of imagl- pation can know extremes of bappi- ness or misery.Happiness iu a great measure depends on the faculty for forgetting.Reason For It.Wiifer\u2014These are hard times, Why, I heard of a man the other day who couldn't raise money even on government bonds, Slimwit\u2014Indeed.What was the reason?Wliifer\u2014 Well, you ses, he didn't have the bonds\u2014Ex- change.A Bubstitute.\u201cWhat is a picayume?\u201d PA picayune is what a man says be doesn\u2019t care when he doesn't wish to ome stronger language.\u201d Polite to Her.\u201cThat is a fine cook you have.Do you treat her as ome of the family ™ \u201cOh, dear me, no! We wouldn't dare Sofia, the Bulgarian Capital.No city in the east bas undergone such & magie trausformation as Sofia.Prior to the emancipation of the Bul.gars it was a small Turkish town of 20,000, with narrow, dirty streets There was practically no trade, and the people were in a hideous state of poverty.The city which bas now risen up has a population of about 125,000 and is rapidly becoming one of the best in eastern Europe.Architecturally it has far more claim to respect than is at first apparent.The streets, which are well paved and beautifully clean, are too narrow for the adequate display of the fine proportions of the czars palace, the National theater, the general postoffice, the war office, the Rulgari- an National bank, the William Gladstone High School For Boys, the Grand Hotel de Bulgarie, the National Agricultural bank, the Sobranje and many other public buildings which are of fine sandstone.The ecclesiastical edifices are of remarkable beauty, especially the new cathedral.\u2014Ileview of Be views.Soy Beans a Human Food.Soy bean flour may be used much the same way as cornmeal.Although this crop bas been grown in America ; for a quarter of a century, says the ; Farm and Home, ft has been used .only for a stock feed, while in China and Japan it has been used for human food for many centuries.| Praetically the only use made of \u2018soy bean flour so far in this country is fn certain types of illness where it is \u201cdesirable to limit the amount of starch fed the patient.Flour made from ripe soy beans, although rich in protein and oll, contains little or no starch.This, mixed with wheat flour, therefore increases the protein content and lowers the starch content, while the bread is very similar in appearance to ordinary wheat bread.When more than 25 per cent soy bean flour is used the character of the bread or cakes is ma- | terially altered.Wanted the Test.| A western professor said one day that he could tell good soil by tasting , the statement promptly packed a box and sent it to bim by parcel post.He \u2018also Inclosed this note: \u201cDear Professor\u2014!

Fix Responsibil- ity\u2014Water Company's Part in the Affair.Since the Stanstead fire, October 12th, 1915, much hostility has been manifested toward the International Water Company, and the demand for an inquiry by some of those who suffered, has been incessant.It is now stated that such an enquiry is likely to be conducted by Col.Hibbard of Montreal.Stories of a somewhat sensational nature have been told about lack of water pressure at the beginning of the fire as well as during the progress of the conflagration.The statements of some who reached the fire first and that of the superintendent of the Water Company are irreconcilable.By the former it has been alleged that with only a single line of hose there was scarcely pressure enough to reach the roof of the small buildings in the immediate locality.their contention being that the \u2018gate\u2019 at the reservoir must have been closed, or at least partially closed.Complaint has also been made because the water supply to the lower villages was not cut off.There was considerable delay in getting at the superintendent, but when he reached reservoir No.1, accompanied by an assistant, he declares that this reservoir was three-quarters full, that the valve was open, as Ît always is, and that the supply in that reservoir would have lasted from an hour to an hour And a half longer.Any person familiar with the system knows that with any considerable water in reservoir No.1, the pressure would not be materially changed by opening the gate at No.3.One story was to the effect that the superintendent, in trying to cut off the supply to the lower villages, had in reality cut off the Stanstead supply at the reservoirs.As a matter of fact the supply to all of the villages comes in one pipe to Library Square, where the Derby Line Main branches off.The division between Rock Island and Stanstead Plain is at the Plain Hill.While no effort seems to have been made to shut off the supply to either of the lower villages, it must be borne in mind that the fire occurred in the dead of the night, at a time when little or no water was being used by the citizens of these villages.In any case it would appear that the contract between the water company and the municipalities placea the responsibility for shutting off the supply from the neighboring municipalities entirely with the municipality where the fire occurs.The proposed investigation, although coming rather late, should be welcomed by all parties.If every serious fire were to be thoroughly investigated, there would be fewer conflagrations\u2014but such investigations should be held as soon after fires as possible.Ih view of the proposed enquiry into the Stanstead fire, the following extrocte from the contract will be of interest: Article II (Section 1) obligates the Water Company to \u2018Provide and maiutain at least two reservoirs having a combined capacity of not less than five hundred thousand gallons wine measure.(Section 2) Provide said reservoirs with outlet pipes of at least eight inches inside diameter, connecting the reservoirs with the water system.(Section 3) Equip said outlet pipes with suitable gate valves so that the outflow can be readily controlled.Article III\u2014Maintain, barring causes beyond human control, a reserve for fire protection of not less than two bundred and fifty thousand gallone wine measure at all times, except when it becomes necessary to empty said reservoir for repairs or cleansing, in which case only one reservoir shall be emptied at a time, and the required reserve shall be restored assoon as possible.\u201cArticle IV\u2014Maintain in good repair and ready for immediate use, barring causes beyond human control, all the hydrants, stand-pipes, water mains and gates in said water mains as now installed, and also any and all additional hydrants, stand-pipes, mains and gates which may hereafter, during the term of this contract, be installed pursuant to the provisions of Article XI hereof.\u2018Article V\u2014Supply all said hydrants with water for fire purposes through the pipe-lines as now installed, or, in care of extension of the present pipe lines, through pipes ol not less than four inches inside diameter, and at a pressure of the pipes on main street of not less than seventy pounds to the square inch; and to provide and maintain such gates that in avent of fire in either of the Three Villages herein named, the water may be cut off from the other two of said villages and the entire supply in the reservoir made available for the village wherein the fire occurs, and so maintained during the continuance of such fire; and said gatos and hydrants ahall be under the control of the municipal authorities where the fire occurs during its con- tinonance.\u201d The contract was signed July 17, 1909, and was to remain in effect for twenty-five years from Oct.1, 1909.It will be seen from the above that the Company obligates itself to maintain a fire reserve of not less than 250,000 gallons, and a pressure of not less than 70 lbs.on Main street mains of not less than 4 inches in diameter.The clause regarding pressure may be considered somewhat vague, but in the absence of evidence to the con- traryy we must understand that static pressure was what was meant.There bas been some talk of euit to recover from the Water Company compensa- we sympathize deeply with those who suffered so severely, we are forced to the conclusion that the Water Company met ite obligations in respect to the above clauses of the contract, unless, indeed, it can be shown tbat some gate was closed or out of order.On this point the superintendent declares positively that the gate at reservoir No.1 was open and that the other gates were in perfect order.The reserve supply wae far in excess of that demanded by the contract, and he would be a bold man indeed who would undertake to maintain that the static pressure was less than 70 lbs.The deficiency as we see it was, and still is, in the size of the main.A six- inch main a mile and a balf from the reservoir, is altogether inadequate for a conflagration.A four-inch main not too far from a larger pipe would answer for a small fire that could be handled with a single line of hose, but in the case of a conflagration it would be just about as useless as a child\u2019s toy pump.Even with a ten-inch main adequate pressure could not be maintained with so many openings as there were at the Stanstead fire.The system is nndoubtedly inadequate for the handling of a really big fire, but if it is to be improved some people must coôperate in a different manner than they have in the past.Such as the system is, it has been furnished largely through private enterprise.It is felt by many that the hydrant rental is high enough to warrant adequate service, and that is true, but on the other hand, those who had sufficient faith to put their money into the enterprise, are not being too richly rewarded, more than one dividend being passed.\u2018\u2018We must sink all merchant commerce going to England becanse we must force the English to put an end to their campaign of starvation against us.Already women and children are MENDING RECRUITS.Many Go Into Hospital in Order to Get Past the Doctor, Quite a number of Canadian recruits who present themselves, while otherwise fit, requires to undergo some slight operation before being able to pass the doctor.If such men already belong to a city regiment, they are paid while undergoing treatment.But if they do not, then, although they receive no pay, the city defrays the cost of their maintenance in the hospital.The majority of such men go to the city hospitals.of July last there was a hundred and fifty recruits operated on at the Toronto General Hospital alone.The operations ars usually slight in them- cessful in enabling the recruit to undergo that ordeal known as \u2018\u2018passing the doctor,\u201d with success.In had a single case where the operation had not proved effective for the | burpose.i The vast majority of soldier cases in hospitals are surgical cases, But there are a few medical ones\u2014cases of pneumonia, abscess on the lung and heart trouble.«At the Toronto General Hosp'tal, there were fifteen of such cases left over from the Exhibition Camp still in hospital, by the first of last July.The slight operations necessary among recruits are usually for varicose veins, that is veins abnormally dilated or contorted, or for varico- cele.Quite frequently, too, a recruit is aflicted with hammer-toe or persistent flexion of a toe, usually of the second toe, due to contraction of the tendons.Many of the necessary operations for these troubles have been performed under merely local anaesthetics.The worst of varicose veins\u2014in fact, what makes the operation necessary in the case of a would-be soldier \u2014is that they cause those troubled with them to tire easily and to suffer i from swelling and much discomfort in the legs.| The men make great patients.They impress all who come in contact with them with their extreme During the month i selves, though highly necessary, and, | in practically every
