Fire and”Life lusurance

D. P. J. Tobin, LANCASTER, ONT

The (.Conservative parly, more es- pecially in Ontario, cannot get over its traditions and still makes silly- appeals to religious and race passions and prejudices. It seems that the party cannot break away but must stick to its guns, substituting for a policy a mere party cry. It seems that its followers are not .satisfied to learn that playing with political fire is a dangerous game, but must con- tinue the same tactics. At the last campaign the disreputable “Duty of the Hour” pamphlet was widely cir- culated, but rebounded and did incal- culable injury to the Tory forces. Now a similar appeal is being made, and thousands of copies arc being franked from Ottawa headed : “The T-wo Parties and the Empire ; Tlie Conservatives for Separation.”

The circular goes on to say : “In his naval policy, as in every-

thing "else, Sir Wilfrid is constantly looking away from the FImpire, and to the day of separation, which he has said must come, to the day of independence', which he has promised his fellow countrymen, to the day when Canada will be ‘rid of. the ser- vices of British diplomacy,’ at which riddance he declared all Canadians will ‘rejoice.’

“Such is Sir Wilfrid’s declared at- titude, such his aim ; in that direc- tion all his efforts tend, and it is high time that all Canadians should awaken to a realization of’their real tendency and true character.”

So the argument goes on, to the extent of a couple of thousand words or so, and then comes the climax in these words :

“Things are, getting to a pretty pass in Canada under Sir Wilfrid.

“Already he has spoken of the King as a foreigner, whom he,as the lead- er of a subservient iuajoi’ity in Par- liament, Could vote out ot possession of Canada in an hour’s time.

“And now in introducing his Cana- dian naval policy he gives notice that | tbe bonds of allegiance are of no force, and that whether Canada will ever help the motherland will all de- pesd upon the will of himself or his like.tBinded successor.

it about time for the OanA- dian people to take note of what is ïSoing pn ?"

What eah liahê ià reply to such arguments aS these, but to see that ttéÿ âïo circulated where they will

the most good ? Aad in this re- t sped Le Canada has done a public service in translating these words for the benefit ol the French-speaking electors of the country.

It is the old double-faced gotoe over again : Laurier isWtoo British" in Québec, and he is “a traitor" in the English-speaking Proviaces.

But just as the "Duty irf the Hour” failed in its mission, that of appeal to sectionalism and bigotry, so will this last appeal fail.

It must, because the thinking peo- ple of Canada, be they French or English, know that Laurier has, in practical eKeeJ, done more for the ' true cause of Imperial unity than , any other man in Canada’s history.. Brockville Recorder.

[R i R To get a broad, comprehensive

view of human nature, stands at the church door on Sunday morning and hear the remarks of the congregation Some old skinflint, who never reliev- ed a widow’s sigh or smoothed the path of childhood’s feet with a cop- per cent, will grunt out his com- plaint about the churches “always begging.” Some brainless, soulless butterfly, who has to keep off ennui with theatre going or euchre parties, will lisp out some criticism about the tiresomeness of this continual talk about sin and its results. Along will come some old blackguard, who would be ashamed to have his wife know where he spends three nights out of six, and he turns up his nose at the vulgarity and plainness of the preacher. Another will remark about its being a line sermon and start off the statement that it was all very well to talk, but you can’t apply the “Sermon on the Mount” to business these days. By far tbe majority ac- quiesce in the preacher’s Sentiments and form resolutions to live up to bis teaching, but their foot does not leave the last of the church ’'steps until the good impressions and inten- | tions are swallowed by the rush of associations and habits. There are people who accept evciv word of Sol- omon in regard to strong drink, swearing and meanness generally, as sound morally, ethically and com- mercially, but who still scorch their vitals with whiskey, pollute their mouths with profanity and degrade their manhood with contemptible and dishonorable practices.

Quit the business. As the great David said to his greater son just before he left him the heritage of a j throne and a good name : “Be- thou , strong, therefore, and show thyself a j man.”—Canadian Baker and Confec- tionef, , , ii.

P. H. MacNamara, Canadian 'Prado Commissioner at Manchester, Kng- land, writing to the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, on the dairy situation, says :

Butter and bacon prices are still going up. So far as butter is con- cerned, higher figures have not been recorded in the early part of March for 18 years. Danish butter went to 135s. and 136s. per cwt., slightly more than the prices recorded in London. At present there is, more- over, not much prospect of a de- cline. The official quotation at Co- penhagen has reached 138s. and 110s. per cwt., and consequently it is pos- sible that there will be a further in- crease of 3s. per cwt.

The high prices have been brought about by the unusual heavy falling off in the imports of/butter. With the exception of the colonial com- modity, there has been a shortage all round. The shipments from Austra- lia and New Zealand have increased, but have not made up t^e deflciency.

Danish bacon has advanced to 70s. per cwt., as compared with 60s. at the corresponding period a year ago, and American bacon to 70s., as against 48s. at the same time in 1909. Pigs have been scarce all over the world, and that accounts for the higher prices for bacon.

When iftf . ^rker, of Hamilton, em^ phâ84-»9à his point last week against The Toronto World’s attack upon Sir Charles Fitzpatrick and hims'eK re- gard to the alleged negotiations (which never took place-) ^as to the allocation of a payment to the Lead- er of the Opposition, he also em- phasized the other important point that the allowatice to the Leader oT the Opposition is not a payment by the government of the day, but is a payment by the country.

Certain of Mr. Borden’s critics take exception to his acceptance of that a'Uowance^— they call it a salary, When it is nothing of the kind—but the fact remains that no matter who was the leader of the Opposition the allowance would remain.

And while the Conservatives may quarrel amongst themselves, as they will in regard to Mr. Borden, no Liberal will deny that Mr. Borden is a courteous foe, that he is clean, in- dustrious and ever vigilant to seize a point which will benefit his party, and that he “plays the game” like a gentleman.

It would be well if some of his own supporters could so claim to “play the game, and play it fairly.”

And he must have the consolation that, after all the heart searching ny his own “friends,” the fact remains that he is the only man in sight who can command the respect and the confidence of his party.

Mr. Borden will undoubtedly come out of the present controversy with victory, and victory with honor, and Ottawans should be glad of the fact, for, apart altogether from the na- tional interests involved, he is, like Sir Wilfrid, a citizen of Ottawa, and will, no,doubt, when his time come.s, be as ready to forward tbe interests of Ottawa as is Sir Wilfrid himself. —Ottawa F'ree Press.

For pie crust and for all fat fry- ing use the following :

Buy three pounds of the best hard white suet, costing 24 cents. Break it in pieces, discarding all stringy skin and colored bits. Place in, a dish and in a moderate oven. Watch carefully and drain off every little while, pouring through a sUaififtr. " WhÇQ çwled, so as to be like mush» beat two poüüdâ of butter to the Soitie consistency; Mix both in a big yellow bowl and beat with an up and over motion^ tihlil the mixture is as white aà the driven snow and every one néiàT? thinks it is ice cream. Add a Uttle salt just so you can taste it and pack away in wide jars.

I^rge peanut butter glasses with straight sides are the very best. Screw on the top and set in a row in the back part of your ice chest or on an upper shelf in a cool pantry, lo be used if needed. This makes a w’hole- some, good-tasting pie crust and can also be used for cooking in the place of butter. It will keep indefmitely, even in hot weather, an4 always looks good enough to eat.

HOW TO A1AK1: B\BY SLEEP

The baby that cries half the night does not cry for nothing. It cries be- cause it is not well, ancl has no other means of saying so. The chances are the trouble is due to some upsetting of the stomach or bowels, w’hich would be speedily removed if the child wore given a dose of Baby’s Own Tanlels. These Tablets make children sleep soundly and naturally because they remove the cause of the crossness and wakefulness. They are a blessing to children and a relief to worried mothers. Mrs. John vSickles, Douglastown, N.B., says : “If any- thing ails my little ones the first thing I give them is a dose of Baby’s Own 'i'ablcts and they are soon well again.” Sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Oo., Brock-

$ IHUil London, April 9. — 'Unprecedented

numbers of Britons are departing for Canada. Sailing for the first three months of 1910 are likely to exceed the combined sailings of correspond- ing periods in the previous two years Nearly all the berths on the Cana- dian-bound emigrant vessels are book ed until well into the summer.

. The activity of the Canadian emi- gration office in London is unceasing. It publishes a striking advertisement representing Canada as a huge fun- nel- out of which grain is pouring in- to Great Britain.

“Canada,” it says, “offers you 160 fat and fertile acres for nothing. It is a land of glorious .sunshine and op. portuiiity. Wheat costs 30 shillings ($7.20) an acre to raise and sells for 60 shillings ($14.40). Two years’rent of an English farm will purcha.se a freehold of improved land of equal area in Canada where the field crops brought to the farms in 1909 £120,- 000,000 ($600,000,000).

“Wanted, at once, 5,000 experienced farm hands for permanent employ- ment on the farms of '.vesteni Can- ada. Average yearly wages, £67 ($335) with living.”

The Canadian Pacific and theGrand Trunk railways re-enforce the call of the Salvation Army, and advertise, “work guaranteed to men and women in Canada.”

Graham Forester, writing in the Daily Mail, declares that Americans are swamping western Canada and urges more Britons to emigrate.

Care ofYouiig Chicks I As the time for young chickens is ^

at hand, a word in regard to their ■ care will he seasonable. The first few ' weeks care is responsible to a great ' extent for their success or failure af- , ter maturity. Hundreds of chicks arc ! lost each va^ar by careless feeding dur ' ing the first month of their lives. I

Chicks do not require food for the ' first 21 hours after hatching. Make 1 their first feed of stale bread soaked in milk. This is placed in a trough or other suitable receptacle which will [ prevent their trampling upon and soil ing thé food. When they are about 36 hours old they may be given a little fine grit or sand. A hard-boiled egg 'chopped fine and mixed with stale bread crumbs is an excellent food to start them. Care should be taken not to overfeed as no good results come from too much cramming.

On the contrary, bowel trouble is apt to result.

When the chicks are a few days older a little grain may be fed. Finely cracked corn and wheat are excellent, but care must be taken to remove all the larger pieces of grain. S. sieve can be used to advantage for this purpose. Always scatter the grain to give the chicks exercise. The lit- ter, however, must not be very deep. FEED SPAIUNGLY, BUT OFTEN.

Young chicks should not be fed enough at one time to satisfy their hunger, but, rather, a little at a time and often. During thé day they should be kept suiïicieiitly hungry to be eager to eat when fresh food is given. They should be fed five or six times a day. More soft than hard should be given the first two weeks, and then more hard and .less soft feed as they grow older. Never give them more soft feed than they will eat up clean, as the chicks will trample and dirty it. Should any be left,, remove at once, as dirty feed is often the cause of bowel trouble.

Chicks that run at large will help themselves to green . feed, but when confined in small yards such food must be supplied. Tender green stufi, such as lettuce, grass clippings from the lawn, or boiled vegetables chop- ped fine are excellent and quite es- sential.

As the chicks become older more uncooked food may be fed. Wheat bran, corn meal and fine middlings mixed in equal proportions is an* ex- cellent food. Cracked corn and ground oats may also he added if desired. Wheat scrèanings may be fed to ad- vantage, as this is an economical and yet valuable food, on too many farms such excellent food materia! as screeii ings and the takings from stubble fields are wasted.

The chicks should have access to fresh, cool water at all times. Small chickens drink a little at a time, and often. Therefore, keep a supply of fresh water constantly within their reach. Keep the drinking vessels clean. Thoroughly rinse them each time before filling with fresh water. Frequent scalding with hot water must also be resorted to. This will keep them free from taint, and dis- agreeable odors. In summer always keep drinking vessels in the shade.

Skim-milk affords an excellent food for young chickens and they are fond of it. For producing growth, skim- milk cannot be excelled. It is also easily digested. Too much must not be fed at one time, however, as bowel trouble may result.

CURED OF LAME BACK WHEN 84 YEARS OLD

Gin Pills did It. Anyone, seeing Mr. Samuel Martin, of

Strathroy, Ont., for Lhe first time, would gue^ his age at about 60 years, instead ol eighty-four. He is as spry on his feet as a cat and is the picture of health.

It is hard to believe that Mr. Martin passed twenty years of his life in misery, suffering tortures from Lame Back. He tried nearty all the advertised remedies and household recipes, but received no benefit from any of them.

Some months ago, seeing Gin Pills advertised, Mr. Martin purchased a box from W. H. Stapler, a popular druggist af Strathroy. The relief, whi<A Mr. Mar tin expmenced after he had taken one box, was so great that he knew he had found the right remedy at last. ; He bought and t^ed two more boxes of Gin Pills, which comi>leted the cure.

Age is no barrier to Gin Pills. Yh^ •ever fail to cure Lame Back and Stiff limbs, because they cure the Kidneys •■d Bladder, which are the cause of the troubles. Gin Pills also act on the Liver aad assist in curing Biliousness.

SILT IS ESSENTIIL IS HEILTIV UIBY COWS I

Owners of live slock cannot go wrohg when they place salt where it can be conveniently got at by the animals. ^ ]

Salt should enter at all Urnes into the food of the dairy cow, and it should be kept where she can partake of it ad libitum. Both the quantity and quality of milk arc considerably affected by withholding salt till the cows get hungry for it. Cows in the season of lactation require more salt than at other times, and the cows that give most milk Tcquire most of it.

Sodium chloride, or common salt, is very widely distributed in both the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and being a normal constituent of nearly all animal organs, and Huids, undoubtedly plays an important role in the process of nutrition. Such be- ing the Case, it is essential that an adequate amount of salt be obtained either in the food consumed, and wa- ter drunk, or as a direct addition to the ration. 'The food and water al- ways contain some salt, but the amount varies widely in different lo- calities, and is rarely sulhcient to satisfy the ile.sires oi au animal, so that more will not be taken if offer- ed. Wlien allowed free access to salt, cattle will consume from one to eight ounces daily—the last amount is, however, rarely reached, and the average amount would probably fall below three ounces. In general, it has •been observed that cattle having fçe^ access to salt have a belter appetite, and are less affected by changes lu the ration than those receiving no .salt except tliat contained in the food, it is claimed that milch cows require mure salt than other cattle, and tha^ if it is withdrawn there W'ili bo an immediate and decided fall ing oil, both in the yield and in the quality of milk.

The trials that liave been carried out agree in the following particulars Cows having been deprived of salt for two or three weexs exhibited an abnormal appetite for it, but the health of the uuimui did not seem to suffer for a far longer period. This period of immunity varied with In- dividual cows from less than one month io more than ohc year, In every case there was finally reached a Condition of low vitality, in which a sudden and coiaplele breakdown occurred from which recovery was rapid if salt w'as supplied. 'I'he break down was most,-likely to occur at calving, or immediately after, when the system was weakened and the flow of milk large. In general, the', cows giving the largest amount of milk were the first to show signs of distress. It seems probable that a steer would suffer no great inconven- ience if given no .salt e-xcepl that con lained in the ration. The uniform re suits obtained from the cows in the trials 1 am quoting indicate beyond question that saU in addition • to that Contained in the food is absolute ly essential to the continued health of a dairy cow while producing milk. It is evident, moreover, that the am ount of salt which must be supplied direcliy will vary greatly In different localities, it being more at high ele- vations and al places remote from the sea.

for hay. The crop being fine in vine and very leafy is much relished by sheep and constitutes a rich diet.

“Two varieties of vetches are grown for fodder. The common vetch is the chief sort cultivated, but the hairy variety is receiving some at- tention. The latter produces the heavier yields, but so far the seed having to be imported is very expen- sive and few care to bother with it.

■ “The soil for vetches should be clean, mellow and rich, q'he seed may be sown in drills or broadcast. A good seeding for either soiling or hay is about three pecks af vetches and four pecks of oats per acre. The vetches are ready to feed any time after the crop comes into blossom and before the seed commences to ripen. For soiling the crop may be hauled to racks, or be distributed on the sod of a pasture field as soon as cut, or it may be allowed to wilt in the swath for a few hours. Vetch hay is /nade in much the .same man- ner as clover or timothy is handled. Vetches may be pastured by sheep, but this is a wasteful practice, as much of the . crop is destroyed by tramping.”

Sheep raisers who do not already possess a copy of this bulletin would do well to order one from the Live Stock Commissioner at Ottawa.

CBOPS fee s»EEP The wise shepherd in planning his

crops for the year has regard to the needs of liis liock. He reeogni/.es llie great advantage of providing not on- ly a varielv of foods but a succes- sion of succuleul crops the seasoL through. Bulletin No. 12, “Sheep Husbandry in Canada,” published and issued free by the lAve .Stockliranch at Ottawa, takes up uiis subjcet in a practical and thorough mauner. Under special crops for sheep it deals

1 with clover, alfalfa, vetches, rape, cabbiige, turnips, mangels, eoin and

i the several classes of grain. Kach is treated separately in regard to me-

i thod of eullivation and munner of feeding. Dealing with vetches the

I bulletin says : ^ I “Vetches, or tares as they are also

called, make excellent fodder for sheep, either as a soiling crop or as cured hay. This crop much resem- bles peas in habit of growth and le- qiiires about the same kind of oiilri- vatlon. Its vines are more slender than pea vines and stand up better when grown with a stiff variety of oats, \eiehcs are grown e.Mensively for sheep feed in Great Britain, and to sdim* extent in Camuia for tlie same, purpo.se. 'i'he writer, while raising sheep, always grew a small area of tares with oats for coiling the show llock, and in case of a shortage of elover vetches were cured

WS» lEpiED Peas should be seeded early for the

best results, altho good crops are of- ten secured from seeding as late as the first week in June. The crop may be harvested economically by cutting peas with a mower equipped with a pea lifting attachment. The crop must be thoroly cured in small cov- ered bunches, it is pointed out, fore it is stored.

The value of the pea crop lies both in the worth of the peas as a feed for farm animals, and in the benefi- cial effect of the plant as a soil im- prover. 'I'he average yield of an acre of peas contains more digestible pro- tein than any other common Ontario grain crop, and the yield of peas per acre averages above wheal. 'Phe heavy yielding varieties furnish ex- cellent food for pigs, and sheep may be fed pea straw as roughage with- good results says the writers, since It compares favorably with clover ami timothy hay as a feed.

Pea growing for soil improvement is quite profitable on sandy lands that are especially lacking in humus. Peas are a good crop to sow on clov er or timothy sods the first year af- ter breaking, as they greatly aid in subduing the soil. The peas saould tlien be followed by a crop of grain, and the land seeded down to clover.

The pea crop also increases ^hc ni- trogen in the soil, as the plant gath- ers nitrogen from the air with the aid of nitrogen bacteria. In thectse of new land, it is advisable to raise peas twice in succession, so that the land may become rich in the nitrogen gathering.

The most prominent “catch crop” just now is to catch up wJth the weeds.

Excessive liard labor on the farm must certainly be due to rank man- agement and an effort ou the part of the farmer to accomplisli everytliiug bv brawn alone and not use brain at ail.

There is no reason on earth why a day’s work on tlie farm should not ho about the same as it is anywhere else.

Industry is not tjie only thing that is necessary on the farm—if it were, 1 know of several men who have fail- ed that would have succeeded.

Keeping everlastingly at a thing does not always bring success, in spite of the trite saying that it does.

The more persistently some people labor tile worse off they become, sim- ply because they are not expending their energies in’the correct way, and along the most profitable line.

THE niK lEir pnw

Hiring farm hands for only the summer months is set down by the Canadian Farm as one of the, reasons why farmers have difficulty in ob- taining help. Many of the farmers, in Glengarry county do engage their ' men for the whole year, while there are others again who do not. This is what the agricultural paper referred to says on the subject ’

The farm help question will ueveiSs. be satisfactorily settled untjl faîîiTÇÇ® change their methods of hiring men. Engaging help in March and letting itr' go at the end of October, is neither good for the farmer nor for the man he, engages, 'fhere is no permanency about it. A six or eight months’ gagement means a new man every-' year. If he is any good at alt, his serviocs , become most valuable just when his. lime is up. He leaves at. a time when he is becoming familiar with the farmer’s w^y of doing things, and in nine cases out of ten never finds his w’ay back to that par- ticular farm again. More often than not that becomes his only engage-, menl on any farm. He drifts into town during the winter, gets, the loafing habit or perchance lights up-, on some city job and his services op. the land are lost. A yearly eqgag®"- ment would keep him thçre, AH UlS. experience in farm work inôreases' his value to the farmer becomes greater. A clerk in any business be- comes more valuable to his employer the longer he remains with him. So with the man on the farm. His ser- vices the . second year are of much iiiore value to the farmer than they wefe the first year. Even if things are a bit slack in winter a yearly engagement is the right thing. ’

His Lordship Bishop Macdonell Lays the Corner Stone of the

• Church of the Sacred Heart

here

1« the presence of a large number •f people, not confined by any means t« members of the French and Kng- lish congregations of St. Finnan’s parish,» but inciuding many citizens, ud a number of visitors. Very llev- *rend William A. Macdoneil, Bishop •f .Mexandria, with all the pomp and solemnity of tiie Catholic Clmrch, josterday morning, truly laid the •orner stone of the church of the Sacred Heart, now in course of con- struction and which when completed will be the spiritual home of the French Canadians of -Vlexandria and vicinity.

The scene presented will not soon he forgotten by those who participat- •d in the ceremonies, and this might he expected, for the reason tliat the elergy generally of the Diocese graced the occasion with their presence, that the vestments worn added '’olor t* the scene, and the music ami sing- ing continually reminded all of the sacredhess of the occasion.

The contractor, Mr. \'. Ladouceur, ®f Ottawa, and his able assistant, E. Lncombe, foreman, with a staff of workmen, had put the building in ship •bape order. Temporary seats had haeu installed, a large wooden cross erected where later the Higli Altar will be placed and immediately in Iront of this cross, the symbol of our redemption, a temporary altar had h«en placed, under a canopy, and everything necessary prepared for the celebration of mass.

At tbe appointed hour, 9 o’clock. His Lordship Bishop Macdonell took his seat upon the throne and , after being duly vested, accompanied by Revs. J. E. McRae and J. M. P'oley, as deacon and sub-deacon respectively Revs. Leahy, High Priest, and A. L» McDonald, as master of ceremonies, proceeded to the foot of the altar to nlebrate Pontificial High Mass.

The French choir, augmented for the occasion, rendered tbe different •umbers incidental to»the mass in a highly creditable manner, and all present, without exception, followed the service with close attention.

In planing the order of the cere- iBonies, it had been intended at tbe completion of the mass that His Lordship Bishop Macdonell would ad- dress those present in French and in turn be followed by Rev. J. J. Mac- donell, of Cornwall, in English, but the high wind and some what low temperature made it impossible to carry out that portion of the pro- gramme and the sremons were post- poned till next Sunday.

Having exchanged his robes for a lar^ cope and being pre- ceded by a cross bearer, acolytes carrying lighted candles aud accompanied by the deacon and sub- deacon, Bishop Macdonell rfien ad- vanced to a table on whic.h rested a vessel containing »vater and proceed- ed to bless the water wlT ;b subse- quently was to be used in tbe bless- ing of the site of the altar, the corn- er stone and the foundali'ms of ibe lew church. This being compleicu a procession was formed m the f( iiow order : Cross-bearer, acolytes, aii-ar hoys, visiting clergy, the Bishop and his assistants, and all proceeded to the place prepared for the corner stone (the sdutb west corner of the tower) and His Lordship blessed the stone with Holy Water and taking a silver trowel made on the siS sides •f the stone, beginning with tbe up- per side, three crosses. The stone having been put in its place, it was again blessed by tbe Bishop, and while a psalm was being sung by the •hanters, a mason securely settled the stone with mortar so that it •annot be removed from its pla.ee, after which Bishop Macdonell and his attendants returned through the body of the church to the throne, and tte ceremony was brought to a con- clusion.

While it might be expected that the corner stone of the sacred\ edifice •hould be a real loundation stone, a wider sense of the term is taken, and it is usually understood to be a block •f stone placed in the foundation on which the superstructure of the church is to be erected. Usually the lorfn of the corner stone is a rough hawn block of stone in dimension about one cubic foot, namely measur- ing one foot in length, breadth and d^th, but in this case it was a stone two foot square, having a cavity 9 x 9 arid 6 Inches deep. In the latter was placed a small metal case cbn-‘ tainiug coins but receutly turned out at the mint at Ottawa, an inscrip- tion or attest recording the act of laying tbe corner stone, written on parchment and inclosed in a securely sealed tube, thereby being preserved from destruction by damp, copies of the local papers and other suitable memoranda. Over the cavity a state Mab was fastened with cemjnt.

During the ceremonies a collection was taken up, and we have every reason to believe the contributions were most generous.

Shortly after 12 o’clock a luncheon was served to His Lordship, tbe Blergy and a few others in Alexander Hall, and the menu prepared speaks volumes for the taste and efforts put forth by the ladies of the French con- gregation.

The contractor is putting forth every effort In the erection of the ehureh and is certainly making great headway so much so that it is ex-

, pected by the middle of September or the beginning of October that the roof will be on and that by tbe ULW

year mass will be celebrated therein. We might with good reason give a

further description of what the ehureh will be, but believe it better

to refrain from doing so till its com- pletion, when it will .give us pleasure to not merely give a full and com- plete description, but reproduce the hand.some new edifice in these col- umns.

We will merely, in conclusion, ofier our congratulations to the pastor. Rev'. .1. W. Dulin, to the members of tile several committees that had yes- terday’a proceedings in band and to the Freimli congregation generally up- on the /ery able manner in which things-^ere carried out.

By appointment, Messrs. James Martin and John A. McRae, as a special committee, representing the j.'VIexandria Turf Association, waited upon Col. Gardiner, commanding of- ficer of the Boy Scouts Brigade of Montreal, at that city, Monday after noon, and formally extended an in- vitation to him and his Scouts to be the guests of the Association at Alexandria on Victoria Day. The deputation was most cordially re- ceived and the gallant Colonel, who is an English officer of some years’ service, accepted the invitation and added that he felt sure that that day spent in Glengarry would prove, not merely a delightful one, but a memorable one in the military bis- tory of the Boy Scouts.

While as yet, we are not in a posi- tion to give our readers the entire programme, yet we may say that it will include a couple of drills by the Boy Scoutsj''a military parade, athle- tic sports and likely a five mile Ma- rathon race. Handsome prizes will be awarded in the several athletic events and as there will be lots of good music, the day’s outing should prove an enjoyable one to those par- ticipating in it.

In wliatever part of Au£:tralia you may be, the .'«t.jiplo of conversation i* tbe land and what it pro<lucea, says Archibald Marshall in The Daily Mail, But tlic t-alk varies aa yon go from one place to another. Now it is all about sheep and wool, now about cat^ tie, now about whc'at, fruit, dairying, mines, timber; and as you get farther north along the coast, even you reach the tropical belt, the t.i! is aJl about su^ar.

I came down to Brisbane from a part of the country where they fatten stock and milolj cows, and left the same night for Rundaberg, where Î arrived the next morning and fell straight into sugar. I heard no fur- ther talk of bullock.s or ©owe until î returned south again.

. I was now in the rich “scrub"’ land, which is very difïerOTït from the timber country, cleared or uncleared, through which T h.a<J hitherto travel* leu’ so many hundre<.ls of milee. The soil is mostly ailuvial, deposited through ages in layer after layer to a great depth, or volcanic, and over- grown with soft-wooded trees and bushes matted fogi'tlier by creep'ing vines. From a look-out place on the roof of a sugar mill I visited I could f©6 the dark, imjx’not.rable growth sti-eroliing away to the distant hills, intersected by widf stretches of vivid’ green where the canes were growing, î^atches of drab wlu‘re the refuse from out canes had dried in the sun, or of red soi' where thi.s had been burnt oft. AT. this open eoimtry had been cleare<i, acre after acre, laboriously by hand. «

I saw the ripe cane cut. It grew 90 densidy that you could not have squeezef] yourself into it, and ran like a solid green wall 'down the length of the field. With huge, broad-bladed knives the men hacked down the canes one by one. just below the sur- face of the soil, cut off their green tops, stripj)ed the growth from them, and threw them into heaps. They used both sides of their blades, and worked so quickly that you could scarcely follow fiïeir movements. They do this work by contract, share and share alike, and the money they make by it—a pound a day and more, with their keep thrown in—puts 'these ex- pert cane-cutters among the most etn- viabie of wage-eajners even in a coun- try where wages are alpost uniform- ly high. *

 portable tramway line is laid ower tbe cut field, the oanes are loaded on to imeks and drawn away to the mill. When the field is stripped all the refuse is burnt off, and another crop comes up from the same rooie. In four years or so tiic canes are re- planted. 1%ey used to go on year af- ter year, but that was when the soil was virgin. Now. rich as it is, ft needs some dréesing; but there aie milHftna of acres ( this fertile eerub country still to be taken up in Queens- land. Tbe induistry is not yei fifty yean M, and has endleas poeeibili- tiee.

Twenty ..years agp I traveled pp the coast of QueenshiDd and aaw sugar plantations ifi thé' rich oOuntry around Oaims. I saw a gang of black fellows under a lazy w&te contractor, whs ky in a teat aod drank bad whisky, «Wring the thick scrub, and aaw the cai^ cut and the milk worked by KaoakA labor.

All tbat is oh^ged now. The ery lor a White Australia has changed ft. The Kaztakas have been sent beck to their islands, all but a few who had been in the country for a oertoin num- ber of years, and a producer who em- I^oys eoloi^ labor of any sort loees the bostmiy which' a paternal Govem- meot pays for every ton of sugar grown by white men. Tbe industry has been a stort^' centre of p<^tics for years, sod is so still, but it is safe to say that it will never again flourish by mean£ of cheap colored la- bor, and it is difficult to see how it can oomp^ to any extent for ex- port with sugar thus grown in other ootuftries. At the same time, tbe de- mand for home consumption is »o great that no limit to it is y^ m sight, and some foreign markets still remain open. And above all; tbe practical stoppage of colored labor has brought in the small grower. Sugar-prodiKsing provides one of thoee c^portunitie^ for the man with no oapiûl but hw own industry, of which Au-stralia caaj ehow more than any other oountry on the face of the globe.

The letter deals with The Christian Spirit in the individual, in the family and in society and e.vplains in detail the accessary virtu^es to be practised and the vices to be avoided.

These exterior appearances, however, do not constitute life ; in- deed they may go hand in hand with death. “Thou hast the name of be- ing alive and thou art dead,” says the Apostle St. John to the Angel of the church of Sardis.

“Let us first of all appeal to yOu .i lo always hold united in abiding af- i fection the Catholic church and your Canadian fatherland, while giving to : each, in your thoughts and in your attachment, its proper place. “To ! love both countries,” says Pope Leo ' XIII, “that of earth below and that ' of heaven above, yet in such mode i that the love of our heavenly surpass | the love of (^r earthly home, • and . the human laws be never set above i the divine law, is the essential duty ' of Christians, and the fountain head, so to say, from which all other du- ! ties spring.” To that end cherish ! the Christian traditions bequeathed : you by your forefathers, and main- - tain untarnished the saving principles which should illuminate public mor- ■ als. Whatever be your office in civil ‘ society, fulfil it with integrity ynd disinterestedness, holding the com- mon good above your own personaU advantage, taking always a.s a guide your conscience as Catholics; and ' rising above all diSerences to pro- ) mote the welfare of society and in defence of- the sacred rights of re- ligion.

A bewildering number ot changes ^•ill be rung upon the way in which the new short coat is fastened. It is not surprising that this new favorite

’•will be treated to innovations that will (lifiorentiate it from the long

vcoats of the winter. In some cases there is a double-breasted effect, the revers extremely long and the but- tons few in number. Then, again, a plastron is added. Another highly lavored fastening is the invisible one. Points are also used, crossing and lapping at the side under braid and

••ornaments. The buttons arc gor. geous, depending upon enamel, jewels and brilliant color effects for their heauty.

The overskirts and panniers seem to be an assured fact, that some ex- tremely smart effects can be develop- ed by using two materials in combin ation in the construction of a gown. For instance, plain and plaid ging-

line. One of them is a cliip mush- room, with a tarn crown of shirred ) malinc, and the other has a rather | wide depressed brim and a large crown entirely covered with fluffy quillings of maline.

, There is a yoke skirt that has just made itself known, and that is par- ticularly suitable for two kinds of materials, in this there is a box- >lait in front and back that is slight ly graduated, and that forms a pa- nel. The yoke is cut in two long rounded tabs that extend half way down either side of the front and back plait panels, and two shatter ones that reach just below the hips. To this yoke is attached a side.plait- ed skirt. The yoke points are out- lined with several rows of the braid; or they might be piped. The model was fashioned of plain and plaid che- viot, but the design is equally adapt- able to tussor or linen.

Among the new waists, one of the smartest models for suits is made of fine linen shirting in plain shirt style with Dutch collar and Dutch turn- back cuffs made of natural toned or colored linen to match the suit. An- other new shirt, one of the Russian blouse style, is buttoned closely from the side of the neck to the

The frills also arc extended down the center of a deep yoke, and encircle the narrow circular necks or

simulate little Dutch collars, or the I they jabot down the fronts of dressy

Then again, jabots of spider-web, filmy mull dangle from an ornamental button placed at each side of the flat collar of self-material on walking suits, or they are slipped through an opening in the front of the bodice to fall from there in a jabot or as a straight frill. They are most eflective.

Guimpes are now chosen of ma- terial of strange and lovely effects. No longer need the guimpe, which, you will remember, is quite shallow, be of cream lace. Metallic tissues veiled with mull, tulle of- a flesh col- or, steel nets incrusted with beads, cob-web gauzes and fancy grenadines form the lacy relief at the neck and throat. Many o^ these have a fine tracery of color, silver or gold, secur

arm. The opening is straight across the top, and the garment goes on over the head like a sweater. It is then fastened down each shoulder seam with small loops of braid and crochet buttons.

Plain linens are to be more stylish than fancy ones, though for tiiose

! who prefer these latter there is a j number of good designs in narrow I stripes, chiefly black and white effects I Tlie linen costume of a solid solid i color will be quite without ornament I or will be trimmed with embroidery ' in the same shade or in white work. ; ed directly to the material. For the I home dressmaker wiio does not care I to execute the embroidery herself, j there are many handsome semi-ready I linen robes to be found. These are of I French linens, and w’orked in Louis I XVT designs in white on the colored

ed by' a runnViig'thread TrequentW ' ground or in matching tone. The de- ■ ■ ■ A J.L': : siffn consists of tinv roses orrar added on the under surface of the

mesh. There is a conspicuous ab- sence of tucks, and here is the danger signal for the home dressmaker. The perfect fit of the guimpe must be insisted upon, for the plain expanse of transparent tissue relies upon an unrippled surface for an effect that must not smack of the araateuri.sh.

The soft finished silks a^d satins now’ selling at such reasonable prices will make the summer evening frocks remarkably attractive this year. The overskirt, rounded or pointed, prefer- ably the latter, shows to greatest advantage in these materials. There need be no trimming, even on the jwaist, soft, folds in surplice effect of fine tulle or chiffon are most becom-

•ing,, either of the same color as the gow’n or of white. Sleeves of the net

-or chiffon, reaching not quite to the -elbow, close fitting and finished with crystal • fringe, are also becoming, while if'so desired the sleeve and fichu in one piece, recalling the kim- ono sleeve of two years ago, can be chosen. There are also sleeves of goodly si/.e, in single or double cuffs, for the low waist that has the round cut around the shoulders, but this is

sign consists of tiny roses arranged in festoons, a further embellishment Of hemstitching or drawn-work.

Fine French serges arc being used for both tailored dresses, and coat suits. The new serges are quite dif- ferent from those which have gone be fore, for the really smart ones have a polka dot the size of a dime scat- tered over them. Moreover, the way they are made up is decidedly novel; for this polka dotted serge, say a blueish gray with a w'hite dot, has an apron drapery of plain blue voile. This apron has a bib which extends upon the bodice, while the tunic is drawn tightly about the hips and ex- tends almost to the knees being slightly longer at the sides than iu front. This is the application of the prevailing style of gauze tunic to the foulard or other silk gown to wo«l materials. The tunic effect in these wool costumes bears, a remote resem- blance to the washerwoman drapery of last summer. Plain serge is a ma- terial which is a perennial favorite with the American woman. With one blue and white se-rge tailored suit the economically inclined w’oman can be well dressed tor every day occasion

.,4- f u- J i. X . during the spitng and summer, provid a. TOiost trying fashion and not ^to be j course,, that the garrraents are well cut ana well tailored and that rashly recommended. The theater

and restaurant dinner gown is far prettier with the net elbow length sleeve, and is in far better style than the latter, which bv rights should be loi a ball gown. But, in sleeves as tn 'skirts, this year the choice is so ' wide that surely no w’oman should

BAKKi) HAM. A hot bilked liam is nice for a

change at dinner, especially in cold wcaihcr. Hoii a small sugar cured ham of tlie best quality, and when thoroughly done rtmiove from the water. Trim and peel carefully, sprinkle the whole surface with pow- dered bread-crumbs, then with a lit- tle granulated sugar, and place the ham on a rack in the dripping pan. Bake it in a very liot oven until verv brown all over. Serve it with a tart jelly of some kind, preferably ao ap- ple jelly flavored strongly with le- mon or orango peel.

COOKKRY DON’TS. Don’t slam tlie oven door ; it will

spoil the cake, and it won’t improve the pudding.

Don’t cook by guess work. Weigh ail your ingredients, and test your ‘oven before you try \-o bake.

Don’t fail to keep a clock in the kitchen, for time ia./a necessary in- gredient in successful cooking.

Don’t fail to keep the ice box clean for many foods, like milk and butter, are quick to absorb foreign odors.

Don’t be in a hurry. Ù you skimp in the matter of lime, you are cer- tain to leave some important thing undone.

Don’t be discouraged by one failure If the dish does not succeed, try again ; and keep on trying until you find out what is the matter.

Don’t try to economize in the n^at- ter of fruits and vegetables ; your green-grocer/s bill mav be larger, but you will more than save it in the doctor's bill.

Don’t be wasteful. Bread crumbs may be browned and ground ; bits of meat may help to improve the soup pot.

ough salted water to cover it, re- newing the water from lime to lime as it boils down. About an hohr be- fore serving add some rich milk or cream to il and let it continue cook- ing. When thick and ready to serve add a tablespoouful of huiler.

BANISH PIMPLES AND ERUPTIONS

III ibe Spring Most'Peopl* Need a Tonic Medicine.

, If want new health and new strength in the spring you must build up your blood with a tonic medicine. Following the long indoor winter months most people feel de- pressed and easily tired. This means that the blood is impure and watery. It is this state of the blood that causes pimples and unsightly erup- tions. 'I'o this same condition is due attacks of rheumatism and lumbago; the sharp stabbing pains of sciatica and neuralgia ; poor appetite, fre- quent headaches and a desire to avoid exertion. Y'ou can’t cure these troubles by the use of purgatives; you need a tonic and a tonic only, and among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams’ Pink Rills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve restoring powers. Every, dose of this medicine makes new, rich blood, which: drives out impurities, stimulates every organ, and brings a feeling of new health and energy to weak, tired' out, ailing men, women and children.. If you are feeling out of sorts give this m-edicine a trial, it will not disappoint you. Mr. Raul Cfiarbonneau,, a young man well ’ known in the town of St. .lerome. Que., is one* of the host who bear testimony to the value of Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. He says : “When 1 left school' I became a book-keeper in- an important officef Probably dUe to confinement T began to suffer from indigestion and loss of strength., t became paie and seemingly bloodless and was often seized with palpita- tion of the heart and violent head- aches. I tried several remedies, but they did not do me a Mt of goodl U was advised to try T)r. Williams’ Rink Pills and did so, and the use' of eight boxes: brought me back to per- fect hcaflh and strength. I have- since enjoyed the best of health and’ cannot say too much in praise of this valuable medicine.

FROM THE COLONIES.

A Great Many Britons From Overseas Are In the English Commons.

It seems, at the liino of writing, as if the British Parliament will have as liberal a strain as its predecessor of the Colonial blood which has en- riched it for the last half century.

As long ago as 1^7 there were six Colonial members in the House of Commons. In 1877 ami 1897 the num- ber had grown to eight; and when Mr. Balfour resigntM.1 four years ago, there were no fewer than sixteen Colonials at Westminster, while the last Parliament boasted fifteen.

And the Colonies have good reason to be proud of the sons they have sent to help to make English laws. There have been few finer lawyers and politicians than Lords .Abinger and Tyndhurst, both of whom eat in the Commons as attorney-general, and in the Lords, and won laurels by their eloquence and sound statemanship. Abinger came from Jamaica, ami Lyndhurst was cradled at Boston be- fore the Declaration of Independence.

Roebuck, a famous politician of the middle of last century, came from Canada, which has sent many of her ablest sons. Childers spent seven of his best years in Australia before he took Ids Seat for Ponfefract on hi.s way to the Cabinet; and Rol>ert Lowe (Lord Sherbrooke) was a leading politician in Now South Wales long before he sought the suffrages of Kid- derminster in 1^2-,

These were the pioneers from the Colonies. They liave had many worthy .<;uccessors, Mr. John Henni- ker-Henton, father of Imperial penny postage, who ha.s done yeoman ser- vice at Westminster for a quarter of a century^ hails from Australia, where he was for many years a man of wealth and leading. The Hon. Ed- ward lllake w'as a Canadian Prime Minister liefore he entered the British House of Commons as an Irish nn^m- ber; and Sir Gilbert Parker wa.s a five-year-old boy in Canada when Mr. Blake was a full-blown M.P. the.re>

New Brunswick gave Mr. Bonar Law, one of the ablest dehators Wo.st minster has known: and among other notable Colonial M.P.’s of recent j’v'ars are Dr. Rutherford Harris, ex- M.P. for Kimberley tn the Cape ParUament; Mr. W. A. McArthur, who w;is born at Sydney; and Mr. Hamar Greenwood, a Canadian law- yer.

Of the fifteen Colonial members'(d the last Parliament, it is interesting to note, s"»ven were .sons of Canada, four came from Au.slralia, one. from the West Indies, and three from South Africa.

High Locomotive Speeds. Tbe high speeds which are predict-

ed lor the Brennan monorail lead onr naturally to oompere them with th-'

• best that the ordiaaiy steum or elec- taric locomotive on double rails can do. It seeme probable that the rnorm. rail will eventually beat tlie double rail, but iie capabilities still rtnuaiii in the region of prophecy, while thi> locomotives to which we are aocuetoin- ed have proved tliemaelvos by actual running testa. AIK! their reoonis show that they may yet make a goof fight with the newer traction, back'Hl afi they are by wealthy companiee an<i enonmma vested interests. Speeds oi 60 miles an hour maintained over fair- ly long stretrfw» of line are common to most good railways; a speed of 70 miles is re«aclie<l in almost ev«y ex- press run and short burst of 80/afV' $0 miles an hour arc frequent <m tJe* four leading lines of England, says The l»ndop Glob<*. An experim<-ni made, in Gtennany some years bjicK. showed that it was possible to main- tain a speed of anything between 80 an<l 90 miles an hour for long stretches, but in this case the line ha? to be specially ejeared and unusmd- ly powerful looomotives Iwtve to be employed. The real difficulty in the way of very high sp<^xls is that for kx^-distanoe journeys where traffic is great, there must be constant sU>p- pages, and although it is possible to acoeJerate and decelerate tbe speed very quickly after each stop—especiiil- ly wdth electric traction, as our under- ground lines show—the discomfort to the pjissengers of such rapid ohaiiges <rf speeti is very great if pushed b<‘- yoEKl a certain point.

Spiders as Aeronauts. Spiders cannot actually fly, but the

young of many species are expert aeronaute. When on .some autumn day these little adventurers prepare to start they stand on some high point of vantage, facing the wind. Then the tip of- the tail is raised, and little spinnerets emit threads, whicli are caught and carried by the breeze. These vary in length with the weiglit of the spiders and are buoyant enough to Iwar their owners aloft for a considerable distance. The glitter- ing filaments whicli are thus 'Spun and ultimately settle on the ground and bashes are familiar to us all as “gossamer” and are produced by many species of these most interest- ing insects. Some spiders a.gain are expert leapers. A beautiful example of this sort has been found at Syd- ney, New South Wales. It has a curious flap on either side of its IxKly, which can be extcmled like a kite or parachute. Aided by this, it can readily cover short distances, though we cannot speak of this method of motion as re^ flight.

No. 126. A versatile peer, who can work a

gas-stove, a motor-boat, or a balloon with equal skill, is Lord Hardwicke, whose sister. Lady Susan Yorke s engagement is announced. Lord Hardwicke, a profe.ssed engineer, for two years worked , as an ordinary miner—booked as No. 126 in a Mon- tana mine—and is still in fir.st-rate working order a,® a demonstration against the Loa^.ig Lord fable. His lordship spen* ten years in mining engineering.

A Vagabond Cockerel. A niMnarkable maiufeytation on the

part of a coctkerel is reported from Llajita.rnum, near Newport. Some time ago, a pouHiy-keeper disposed of a young white Orpington cockerel, and it remained at its new home for a week, after which it returned to Hfi old home, having traveled over twenty miles. Afterwar<^ it was die-

The full Septeiulier moon slii.i.c down upon a little cabin on the ui> prairies of western Transas, ligluincr up tbe faces of a young man and wo-

man who were slow ly walking up d down the open spa<-e before the do>

*T was so, happy. Kachel." the i;,..:, said, glancing at the .strong, beau'!' .: face of his companion, ’’when I lic.iul your school up In the Wyoming mouu tains was closed and you were coniimr home. I thought you were coming to stay this time. I hope so. for. Rachel, I’ve loved you a long time,”

Dan Southard leaned toward the gir! to study the effect of his avowal on her.

But Rachel Winton betrayed no emo- tion.

She merely turned her dark eyes from the man’s eager face and looketl off across the moonlit prairie.

“I’ve been working and waiting, Ra- chel,” be continued, his voice husky with feeling, “until I had something to offer you. I was sure you wouldn’t give up teaching for just anything- you’re not that kind. I

“But I’ve loved you ever since two years ago, when we all came out to these prairies together in our covered wagons. I remember, after we were here, how bravely you worked to help your parents get started off comfort- ably before you went with your uncle to Wyoming to teach that ranch school.”

“Dan,” she exclaimed almost stern- ly, “I haven’t ceased to remember our old house, which father lost on that security debt, the home we were forced to leave when we came here. Mother and I were not very brave, for we shed tears most of the way, though no one knew it. We came be- cause it was tbe only thing to do, but this pioneer life is a bard, hard one.

“In my heart I am at war with It and always have been. It takes away youth and kills aH high and noble am- bitions. See bow mother has aged during the two years we have lived here. It makes me bitter. That’s why 1 go back to teach. I’m going to make enough to take them away from this life.”

“But, Rachel,” he pleaded, ”you shall never work as your mother lias had to, I promise it,” then suddenly, with a catch in his voice, “Say, girlie, there’s no truth in the report about your -caring for that rich Wyoming ranchman?*’

“MT. Miles has been very kind to me,” she answered without pretending not to understand. “He has offered to let father and mother have the lovely home he owns in Denver If 111 maity him. It would be an ideal place for them to end their days In.”

“My God, girlie! I couldn’t stand it to see you the wife of another!” the young man cried,* bis strong frame shaken with emotion.

“You mustn't care so much, Dan,” she returned, tender pity for his suf- fering making her tones kli>d. “Get a better girl to share your home—one who will love you enough to make the best of this bard Hfe.”

“Never, never. Rachel!” he answer- ed, with passion. “I love only you. If you could but read my heart and see how much you would surely care just a little for me. Your ranchman, rich as be Is, will never love you as I do, Rachel! Never!”

“I couldn’t love any man well enough to give up all I enjoy and set- tle down to this Isolated life, this con- tinual treadmill of drudgery,” she re* txMted, turning away, then in a milder tone, “Forget me, Dan.”

Forget her! That he would never do—he never could. There was a time —it was when they lived in their cov- ered wagons and camped at night by the trail; yes, and even after they were settled here—that he had thought she cared for him.

Those had been the happiest days in Southard’s life. He had never dream- ed that she hated those free, rolling prairies so intensely.

Blind to this, he had been toiling on his new claim to get things In good shape before asking her to marry him.

Bitterly now he felt that it was al! labor lost, for without Rachel Wihton nothing was worth while.

After gazing at the girl a moment in silent reproach Southard walked over to his tethered horse, mounted and rode away.

The moon climbed higher as Rachel stood looking after the vanishing horseman.

“Poor DanT’ she murmured. “He is so strong and good. Father and mother love him like a son. but I just can’t, can’t’” And the tears gathered in her eyes.

“I was intended for something bet- ter. If I wasn’t, why should I dislike Che rouph. crude ways of pioneer life so terribly?”

With ihi.s question on her lips Rachel ïVinton entered the cabin, where her p.arent.s were already asleep, and sought her conch.

For a long time she lay awake, her mind, inueh against her will, busy com paring young Southard and Mr. Niles.

Dan’s clear cut but somewhat boyish face lost nothing by comparison with

man who had been woomg her per- sistently for the past year.

Life with one meant the unceasing drudgery of the prairie farm; with tllb other, wealth to enable her to live wherever she iniglu choose herself and also give her parents a comfortable

But which of the men held the key to her heart?

Iteally slu* could not tell, but she grew drowsy making herself believe she would be able in any event to compel her mind with its power of judging wisely to control her heart

Toward raidnignt ; she was aroused by a strange pungent smell pervad- ing her little room. Her breathing was not quite free. What could it mean?

She lay for a minute dazed, yet with what sense she could command, trying to discover the cause of the odor that was gaining in strengfth and stifling power.

Suddenly a great crimson light illu- mined the small window With a quick movement Rachel sprang from bed, and as she did so, there came to her ears the rapid beat of a horse’s hoofs on tbe prairie road.

Then she heard Dan’s voice bur- dened with awful import

“Rachel!” he called. “Mr. Winton! Get up! Get up quick! The prairie is on fire!”

“Father! Mother!” the girl called, running to their bed. “Get up! Do you hear? There is a big fire. Yes, Dan,” she called fçom the window as she helped her mother to dress.

“There’s not a minute to lose,” Southard called back. “The fire is sweeping this way as fast as a strong wind can bring it”

There had been no rain for three weeks, and everything was dry as tin- der.

The Wlntohs understood the terrible danger Impending.

Not only the cabin, but stock, crops, even they themselves, were at the mercy of those leaping flames.

“Bring tbe blankets, quick r* shouted Southard. Obeying him instantly, Rachel dragged every blanket out of the house.

Dan had rlddeb his horse to the lit- tle spring in the hollow and was rap- idly filling every pail he had been able to find about tbe place.

Acting under his directions, the girl mounted her father’s pony, and she and Dan carried water for Mr. and Mrs. Winton to wet tbe Mankets, this b^g their only means of fighting tbs fire.

How they worked and foUghtl It seemed as if the whole was ar- rayed against them, and all the while the moon looked down, cold and on* earing, while the fire swept fiercely onward until it caught in a row of dry cornstalks that reached nearly to the cabin. Here the battle must be fooght with renewed energy.

The smoke of tbe bumjng grass and grain assailed their nostrils, scorched their throats and blinded tbeir eyes, tmt with hands tom and blistered they tolled on.

Wbm the old couple fell back OTcr-. come Dan and Rachel took th^ places with the heavy wet blankets •iwi worked side by side. Inch by inch they beat back the angry flames.

Even in that terrible situation the girl felt a singular strength and cool- ness in working by Southard^ side. She felt that the enemy must yield to such grand and compelling superior- ity.

When the fire attacked them from another vulnerable point it was Dan’s exhaustless energy that saved the day.

By sacrificing a patch of ripe grain, through a prompt back fire, tbe foe was met and made to recoil In wrath- ful flames upon itself.

After a time the great body of the fire swept away northward, having consumed everything of the Wintons’ except cabin and stock.

With a thankfulness in their hearts for the preservation of these, the old couple entered the house and threw thems^ves upon the floor.

Then Southard and Rachei came back with weary, lagging feet from their last -successful onslaught.

“Everything’s safe now, Rachel,” he 4sald huskily, starting toward his horse.

“Dan,” she questioned, a queer chok- ing in her throat, “you are not going now?”

He stopped and looked at her. She had never appeared more beautiful to him than now, with the marks of that great fire battle upon her face and tattered diess.

“All we have left we owe to you, Dan,” she went on. noting his scorched face, bleeding bauds and burned cloth- ing.

Then she placed her blackened hand on fais shoulder. How be trembled under that touch.

“I don’t feel as if I could bear to have you leave us, Dan.” There was a tender pleading In her tones.

“The danger’s over, Rachel,” he re- assured her, “and I must ride all the way to Westfield before daybreak.”

“Why to Westfield?” she asked. Without a word be pointed across

the blackened prairie tow’ard bis claim.

Only a mass of smoking ruins mark- ed the place where his house and stable had been. She understood.

“You left all you had to come to us, Dan,” she said, with a sob. “Now you have nothing left. Without your help everything here, even our lives, would have been sacrificed. Oh, Dan, tbe light of that fire has given me a sight of my own heart! I see that the true life for me is right here, and if you’ll let me I’ll help you make an- other home.”

“Rachel r he cried. “You can’t mean it! Do you really love me?”

“I have loved you all the time, my knight of the prairies,” she answered 88 his stfnnfir arms gathered her to his

Are Overcome By Dr. Morse’s Indian Roof Pills

The kidneys have a very important work to perform in preserving health. All the blood passes through them over and over again and they filter it, removing all the iirvurities and worn-out muscle and tissue which the blood gathers up, in microscopic particles, in its flow * through the body. ^ These impurities are then expelled through the urinary system.

When the kidneys for any reason fail to perform this function, and the impurities are left in the blood, about the most distressing series of ailments ■which afflüt mankind- follow. First there is the aching back and a feeling of weariness, and then, as conditions grow worse, comes Rheumatism, Gravel, Diabetes, Gall Stones, Inflammation of the Bladder or the dreaded Bright’s Disease.

The man or woman -who allows kidney trouble to develop into any of these diseases is doing himself or herself a grave injustice, particularly when a cure can be had so readily. One of the constituents of Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills is a Diuretic, which strengthens and stimulates the kidneys, enabling {hem to do their work thoroughly and with ease. The.se Pills also increase the action of the bowels and the pores of the skin, which remove some of the impurities, thus lightening the work of the kidne3"S.

Mr. Geo. Whitney, of Buffalo, X.Y., says they worked wonders for him. He writes :

“Your Doctor Morse’.s Indian Root Pills have worked wonders in my case. I suffered for six years from liver trouble and kidney ailment. If I tried one medicine I tried a dozen, but without good results. Your pills were recommended and they cured me after msiug four boxes.”

Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills should be taken at the first sign of back-ache, of rheumatism, or of any difficulty in urinating.

Last year was a most prosperous one for tlie milling companies in C.’anada. A comparison of the earn- ings of the three largest is interest- ing. The Ogilvie Milling Company had net earnings of $710,051, and sur plus, after payment of dividends, of. .$290,051, which was equal to 18.81; per cent, of the common stock.

Lake of the Woods had not earn- ings of $723,380 and a surplus of $311,8^0, wdiich was equal to 2-1.44 per cent, on the common slock.

Western Canada had net earnings of $3412,001 and surplus of $230,908, equal to 25.29 pet..,ccnt.

Ogilvie increased their dividend from 7 ,to 8 per cent., WestCTii Can- ada from 7 to 8, and gave a bonus of If) per cent., and Wood.s gave each bonuses of $10 and $5 per. siiare, in addition to paying 0 per cent, divid-'' end on their common slock. .Such re- cords are probably not equalled by any other industry in Canada.

An important decision affecting mu- nicipal corporations in general was gipen at the last (.Cornwall assizes Uy Mr, Jusiic.e I.atcliford.

Herman Waldroff was travelling on ttie higliway in the lownsliip of Finch near wluj.t is known as the V\iSeinan Bridge in the second concession, lie claimed that owing to the road being out of repair (a large quantity of gravel having been plUced oil the road and not properly spread) tluvt the road was in a dangerous condUioii and that the sleigh upon which he was riding at the time was upset and he was thrown over an emban.Aiuenl and seriously injured. The defendants contended that the road- was. in a proper state of re- pair.. A large number of witnesses were called <»n behalf of both plaintiff and defemlanls. At the conclusion of the evidence judgment was given in favor of- the plaintiff for $515 and

Last yea-c,. 100,000 practical Amer- ican fanners entered the Canadian West and. took up land. Im addition, an almost e(iual number came from Europe. Two advantages of such an influx are at once apparent. In the first place*, tlie Americiins brought in to the country $100,000,000 in money and goods.- Our wealth and the buy- ing poweea- of the people are increas- ed by just that amount. A second benefit is- the fact that these people will be consumers of C'anadian-made g.oods. They will buy their imple- ments, slioes, clothes, llouf and the other necessities of life Utgely from Ç^anadiaiL sources. They are also pro> ducers, ajid, ah a result of this yearly increase in our Western farming po . p.ulalion, our wheat areas will b»? largely augmented. The milling alone of the output of these new farmers is in itselS a great industry.

ciiinery, at least, will be $4000, and to put that portion of Main St., be- tween Markson’s store and tiie Munro A McIntosh carriage factory in first class condition, will call for an out- lay of $3000. To the average rate- payer this should look like going some.

The Greatest in Canada’s fHistory

Ottawa, April 8.—The total revenue of Canada during the last fiscal year which closed on March 31 last, will reach the sum of $101,(100,000. This, is, of course, the greatest revenue in Canadian liistory, and is a certain proof of the prosperity of the c<Ain- trv. Last year the revenue was $85,000,000,

The revenue already received in tiie exchequer is $98,662,974, but there are some sums which have yet to come in.

The e.xpehditure on account of con- solidated fund for the year was $81,- 000,000, which leaves a surplus of $20,000,000,

The expenditure on capital account is $35,.500,000, $25,000,000 of which is on public works, waterways and canals.

The public debt of Canada now stands at $325,970,712. It has in- creased $18,500,000 during the past year.

Since last September between W.ui- nipeg and Edmonton, the G. T. P. have been '.operating passenger and freight service. This is n <listaiiee of 703 miles, and all along the line there are villages and towns springing up with surprisiiig activjty.

J'here are four or five divisi’onaf points within this nnlcttge that are .showing marked development, and would w’cH engage ihe special atten- tion of those seeking a home or an

1 improvement of their .Miancial condi- * tion.

These excursions will be run on April 5, 19, May 3, 17, 31, June 14, 28, .fuly 12, 26, August 9, 2.3,' Sep- tember 6, 2^. Good for return with- in two mouths of date of issue.

Other and full particulars may be obtained on apfflication to *L Quain- lan, district passenger agent, Mont- real, or any other G. T. representa- tive. 11-tf
