The politicians are nursing their wrath for the most part in secret, or giving it expression only .n safe hearing. But the protectionist newspapers cahnot keep c[uiet. Their busines.s is to discuss questions every day. In them sUmming up of the Imperial Conterence they have cot been able to conceal tlieir chagrin and <lisappointment. They did so strongly hope that the Prime Min-, istevs from the aominions , could be snared into an expression of opinion which could be worked into their own tariff campaign. lUit never a word did any one of the Premiers utter which gave even a criimb of comfort to the weary advocates of the Cham- berlain tarilt policy. This refusal was so deliberate and so s<iuarely in defiance of the daily appeals and ex- hortations, and even threatenings of the more aggressive of the protection- j, ist journals, that all the world now knows it.

XJNIONTST PRESS ON LAURIER vSir Wilfrid Laurier, being the senior

Prime Minister and admittedly the ablest, member of the Imperial Con- ference, is made the object of the most direct attacks.. The Times went so far as it judged would be prudent in its criticism of Sir Wilfrid and in damning him with faint praise. But on all hands one hears of the decline of 1'he Times as a leader of opinion since it passed under Harmsworth control ; its opposition, therefore, has had no efiect. The doming Post, one of the most aggres-

sive of the fjrotectionifets journals, is much more outspoken. Again and again it has misrepresented, perhaps ignorantly, both what Sir Wilfrid Laurier stood for in the past and what he stands for to-day. It represented him as asking for protection in Britain in order that Canada might get a preference. It began by assuming this to be his- position in the past and praising him for it, and when he declined to respond to its praise it began to blame. And other protectionist newsjâpers have behav- ed in the same w'ay.

SIR WILFRID WINS OUT.

Oi course Sir Wilfrid is much too experienced to be . caught by any such guile. He gave no heed, made no"^ answer, but did his part as a member . of the Conference with such intelligence and ellectiveness that, despite the tariff press, he stands out distinctly the most conspicuous figure and the one great statesman from the overseas dominions. All Canadians who are not clyod-in-the-wool Tory protectiojiists express their pride in him *as the reprosentutive of Canadian opinion aiid life in England to-day..

It must not be supposed, however, that he has no warm friends and de- tenders among the London journals. No Canadian could desire stronger support than he has Imd, in the chief .posiiions he has taken, from Liberal journals like The r;aily Chronicle, rile Daily News and ’The Westminstei; (lazette, and from powerful weeklies like The Nation and The Economist, if ihelr views have not been publish- ed in (.'anada the situation in London has not been adequately represented.

A- CABAL AOAiNST LAURIER.

The opinion is held by tlie leading Liberal journals in London that protectioni.st journals in l>ritain and •n C-anada liave been in league de- liberately to weaken Sir Wilfrid l.aurier’s influence in order if possible, io promote the political ends l.hey have in view, Iliei'e is no doubt as to the facts, (hi both sides of the Atlantic everytliing that political chicanery could cio has been done with this end in view. I'he London journals, most of them now conti-olled by individuals or syndicates interested in the tariff campaign, are kept supplied with prejudiced opinions from ('anada, and all kinds of partisan attacks on his character or his policy are sent over and prominently featur- ed. This is meant to destroy him as the representative of ('anadian opinion on questions like Imperial 'tariffs and Imperial preference. Similarly the offensive attacks on him by the London protectionist journals are re- produced in ('anada in the hope that (hey may count for something in the next Federal elections. Whether true or not, that there is a protectionist cabal against Sir Wilfrid, all the osbential facts fit in with that theory.

LONDON’S CHEERS FOR LAURIER.

But it cannot succeed either here •or in Canada. In Kritain it has failed already^ On the day of the Royal progress through London no one man in the long line of carriages, outside of Royalty itself, was given so quick, so enthusiastic and so prolonged cheering throughout the entire •'.even miles of the procession as w'ûs Sir Wilfrid Ijaurier. At every stage his striking features were recognized and instantly the cheers broke out, his name often being called again and again. I'his refusal of the people to he intluenc.ed by a considerable section of the newspapers seemed to -nuslrate what the Lord Advocate for Scotland said to me about the last general election in Britain : ^Tt was a îampaign of the platform against the )ress, and the piatforra won." In Le present instance the protection •HIB press seems equally futile in its efforts to damage the influence of the foremost C'anadian staleeman.

A. M. Chisholm says People are

for Reciprocity Agreement

{Duluth Herald)

A short time ago a copy of the Du- luth Herald was received at this office. In looking it over, we noticed under prominent display headings an interview that had been given the Her- ald by Mr. A. M. (Chisholm, one of Duluth’s most prominent citizens, in which as might be expected the question of reciprocity between the two countries was the principal topic. In reporting same, after referring to the fact that iü'. (.'hislioini had just returned from a trip to Eastern Canada including visits to Toronto, Montreal and his old native county, Glengarry, the interview goes on to say that Mr. Chisholm returns from Canada with the firm conviction that the Canadian people are in favor of a trade agreement and that, more over. Sir Wilfrid •Laurier is heartily in favor of it and will contrive to have it brought about in the event of Congress passing the Reciprocity Act.

“The Canadian people living in the country are in favor of a trade agreement with the United States," said Mr. Chisholm. “They believe it will help them, and it will. Laurier is the strongest man Canada has ever produced, unless it be Sir John McDonald He was practically elected on a free trade ticket, and I believe that if the Canadian parliament should refuse to act favorably, he would take the meaçure to the Country and carry it.

“I tried to talk annexation on the other side of the line, but they refused to listen to me. WTth free trade it is different. One man asked me what would become of their wheat in the event of the reciprocity agreement. T told him that the price of wheat is regulated in T.ivcrpool, and as for the other grown stuff of Canada, we could consume it all right in the city of New York.

“Reciprocity will help both countries. It will help the Canadian as well as the American. It will help Duluth and the Twin Cities. It will help us start something right here. It means more business for Duluth, and if it is realized, it means a boom for us.

“I think Laurier, is strong enough to have the measure passed on the other side, and the information that I have gathered also leads me to believe that at the last moment the senate will get into lino and take favorable action on the measure.

“With tile majority of the people of the two countries in favor of the measure, it would seem that it has a very good chance of going into effect."

While stating that there may be some sentim.uit opposing reciprocity in the larger cities of Easterp Canada. Mr. Chisholm stated that the country people of Canada believe profoundly and implicity in Sii^ Wilfrid Laurier; beliege that he has the best interests of Canada at heart, and believe also that his statesmanlike wisdom is the best course to follow.

A TRULY C’ANADIAN POLICY.

And (’anada will understand. Most thoughtful ('nnadiaiis will approve of the reasonable position taken by the Prime Minister on the ([uestion of old treaty restrictions, on immigration, on Empire organization and Em- pire trade, and on matters of defence. That position was at once truly Canadian arvr? truly Imperial. And because Sir Wilfrid refused to be dragged into domestic politics in 1-higianfl he proved himself the truer ('anadian and the greater Imperial statesman. The fact that he would not enter the controversy, even in self-defence, is to nis credit, for had he dented some of the protectionist allegations he would of necessity have had to commit himself for or against This he absolutely refused to do.

As a result he stands out more conspicuously than ever before as the overseas statesman of whom all the l-mipire is proud, and more pi*ouder than his fellow-Premiers from th» other dominions. His speech at the Constitutional Club to a rather hostile audience, in which he discussed the reciprocity agreement and gave straight denial to the annexation talk, in which ignorant and irresponsbile people and those with other ends in view so persistently indulge, was, as Sir Gilbert Parker said, the speech of a master, frank, courageous, strong. No matter what tne cable despatches may say. Sir Wilfrid Laurier has “done (Canada proud" on this important visit to London. J. A. M.

Opposition Leader made a Good impression on the Farmers

of the West (Montreal Gazette.)

Winnipeg, July 9.—(Special.)—Mr. R. L. Borden’s tour is over. It lasted 18 days, during which the Conserva- tive’s leader covered 3,200 miles in the three prairie provinces, addressed 38 set meetings, wLich were attended by 50,000. In addition, Mr. Borden met the organized farmers at 30 places and was tendered an equal number of civic receptions, while at several points he briefly addressed gather- ings which had assembled while his special train made short stops. The average distance covered during each of the 18 working days was , 177

The tour which ended last night creates a new record for political pil- grimages, both in respect to the territory covered in the time and the number of meetings held. It was remarkable also for the warmth of the welcome which Mr. Borden received everywhere. Before he came, the West knew little of the man who leads the Opposition in the House of Commons. He returns to Ottawa to- day, carrying with him the affection and good-will of the people of the prairies, which he won by reason of his fearless promulgation of the policy which he sincerely believes in the interests, not solely of the East or the West, but of (’anada as a whole. The secret of his popularity and the hold he has taken on the affections of this great western country is to be found in his straightforward pro- nouncements and the entire absence of evasive replies to direct questions.

Mr. Borden has spoken his mind freely and from every one of the 38 platforms he has delivered the same message. Even his political opponents have been compelled to pay tribute to his sterling frankness.

While the proposed reciprocity agreement was the chief issue discussed, it was not permitted to push other important public questions entirely into the background. The Lib- erals and their allies, the Grain Growers, were anxious to keep the trade pact constantly before the public to the exclusion of every other issue. Mr. Borden and his colleagues refused to allow reciprocity to be the sole topic of discussion, and, in addition to the other planks of the Con servative platform, which deals more particularly with matters affecting the West, the record of the Laurier Government was held up to the light and carefully examined. Waste of public monej", the fattening of political wire pullers, the broken pledges and dust-covered promises were cri- ticised.

Mr. Borden invariably took up his policy with respect to western prob lems and placed it squarely before his hearers. This policy consists of handing over to the three prairie provinces the control of their lands, minerals and natural resources, Gov- ernment construction of the Hud- son’s Bay Railway and its operation by an independent commission in the interests of the people, state operation of the terminal elevators and state aid to the chilled meat industry, and th(; di^sron of the Railway (.'ommission into an eastern and a western section, giving it wider pow- ers and changing its name to the Public Uiiliiies (.'ommission. These proposals have met with a chorus of approval in the West.

’J,’he outstanding feature of the U nr was the overwhelming desire displ-iy- ed to hear the anti-reciprocity side of the case. The fact was demonstrated everywhere tliat, after being carried away at first by the cry of larger markets, the people were commencing to delve a little more deeply into the subject and to think for themselves instead of having their thinking done for them by Frank Oliver, Dr. Clarke and J. G. Turriff. Some strange argu- ments l\ave been overtaken by Mr. Borden's party, which were used by Clarke, the free trader, and Oliver, the protectionist, who covered part of the territory before the arrival of the Con- servative leader. For instance, Mr. Oliver recommended to the farmers reciprocity as a remedy for trusts and combines. Mr, Ikirden met this with the argument that no such relief could come by interlocking our tariff with that of the, highest protected country in the world, where trusts reigned supreme. Mr, Tumff has been going up and down preaching the gospel of reciprocity as the first step towards the abolition of duties on manufac- tured articles. On the other hand, his Liberal colleage, Mr. Nesbitt, of North Oxford, has been telling the manufac- turers of Ontario that, they would not be hurt, and that he had the permis- sion of Sir Wilfrid J,aurier himself to state that the Government had gone as far in the interests of the farmers as it intended. This policy of saying one thing in the East and another in the West has been roundly scored by Mr. Borden and his lieutenants, and has made an impression.

One noticeable feature, brought out during Mr. Borden’s contact with the western farmers was the ignorance the majority of them displayed as to the salient economic features of the reciprocity pact. They, for instance, were not aware that 80 per cent, of their products were consumed right here ifi (’anada. Many of them were inclined to disbelieve the statement that the United States farmer produced a surplus of everything the western farmer produced and was his competitor in the world's markets. A'.

Minnedosa, in Dr. Roche's home town, the statement respecting the twelve foreign nations which can send their produce in on exactly same terms ae the United States, but without any

concessions in return, was branded a lie by one man in the audience. It was necessary to tiini up Hansard and read Mr. Fielding’s reply to questions put by Mr. Borden in the House in order to convice the skeptics. In town after town they could not believe Mr. Fielding had put these favored nations and the British possessions, practically every food producing coun try in the world, in competition with the Canadian fai*mer. The more this side of tlie agreement sinks into the minds of the people the stronger will be the opposition to it right here in that portion of the Dominion, to catch the votes of which it was brought into

The national side of the question has also received much attention. The West has heretofore overlooked it in the dust created by the wider market created and better-price cry. Mr. Bor- den put the dangers squarely before his auditors, putting on less a person- age than President Taft in the witness box, and proving his case by the solemn warnings of that distinguished statesman. In fact, it is safe to say that Sir Wilfrid T.aurier and the Pre- sident of the U?iitod States have given the best ammunition to the Opposition

On the economic side there was Sir Wilfrid Ijaurier’s definite statement that the pact would benefit producer and consumers alike, which burst the toy balloon of higher prtccs for the farmer, and on the national side was the definite assurance that the rejection of the agreement would give an impetus to the forces at work in Britain and Canada to separate the latter country by a Chinese wall from the United States, and make her part of an imperial commercial band stretching from England around the world to Englaîid by a system of preferential tariffs.

The organized farmers, who in Ma- nitoba and Saskatchewan call themselves grain growers, and in Albert^ the United Farmers, were most pei^- sistent in placing their views before Mr. Borden. The majority of the re- solutions and memorials read to him were the same and emanated from the headquarters of the association in Winnipeg. The members of the organization did not have to wait long before Mr. Borden made plain his views on the question of reciprocity. He declared at Brandon, where the first meeting took place, that he was opposed to the thing from the first to last and would do all in his power to insist that the people had a chance for expressing their opinions thereon at the polls. This found favor with many. These men highly appreciated the bluntness of the man who spoke his own mind without quibbling. It was obvious> however, before the tour ended, that the Grain Growers executivê had adopted the attitude of ^'thumbs down" so far as Mr. Borden was concerned, and were willing to sacrifice all the other planks of their platform, many .of which Mr. Borden supported, on the altar of reciprocity. From what, has transpired in this tour, when hun-

dreds^ .. farmers h’a'Te Borden that they are opposée procity, it is evident that the leaao. - of the movement will not be able to swing a good proportion of the farmers’ votes to the Liberal column. As Glen. Campbell put it the other night at Dauphin, R. C. Henders and Rod- erick MacKenzie, president and secretary of the Manitoba Grain Growers are applicants for Government jobs. Their efforts are, therefore, directed towards delivering the goods to Lau- rier on election day, and once the farmers recognize this the end is assured. And Dr. Roche and Andrew Broder have warned them from the

j platform of the dangers which at- 1 tended their bîng led into political ' paths by agitators, j Three facts stand out prominently in connection with the tour. One is

j that Mr. Borden has made thousands of friends by his manliness ; another

I that the Conservative party in the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have by his visit renewed their courage and arc prepared to wage the battle of their lives. The

I last is that those who calculated reciprocity would sweep the prairies from the Great Lakes to the Foot- hills rftust revise their reckonings. The policy of an appeal to the people is steadily gaining favor and the West realizes that if an election is held without redistribution, the fault will lie solely with Laurier.

Mr. Borden was very happy in his selection of colleagues to accompany him on his trip. Dr. Roche made an excellent impression, and his hand- ling of the economic side of reciprocity was convincingly logical. An- drew Broder also did yeoman service. ; His homely way of putting a fact j appealed to western audiences. J. G. j H. Bergeron again proved himself ] one of the best stump speakers in | the Conservative ranks. Over fifty meetings were held in various parts of Manitoba, by T. W. Crothers, Hugh Clark and W. S. Middlebro. And as for Mr. Borden, he has improved very muen as a platform speaker. He caught the ear of the West by his lofty treatment of public questions and he did the lion's share of the work. And the last day of the tour found him as full of fight- ing vigor as when he started. The tour closed with well-attended meetings at Morden and Somerset on Sat- urday, and Mr. borden returned to Ottawa this morning, his private car Canada being attached to the Imperial Limited. .

The bulk of the credit for the successful arrangements for the tour

* must be given to George H. Perley, who has worked indomitably, and who also proved an unqualified success as a speaker. Mr. Perley took up the reins of management of the tour at Winnipeg, where Hon. Rob- ert Rogers laid them down after all the details had been perfected by the Manitoba Minister of Public Works. There was not a hitch throughout, and the successful outcome was due almost wholly to the work of these two gentlemen.

Mold on Butter The Alberta Dairy Commissioner,

Mr. C. Marker, has issued some useful hints on butter making. He says:

I With the advent of the warm wca- I ther we shall soon begin to hear from the trade about moldy, butter, unless the creameries start out to fight that enemy ‘mold^ in a determined and systematic manner.

It is a well-known fact that mold- infected butter becomes unsaleable in a comparatively short time, and in- volves not only heavy financial losses and, unpleasant bustness relations, but also a serious loss of prestige and standing on the market of the person or firm who make and sell silch butter.

It is important, therefore, that every one who handles butter, either ns manufacturer or as dealer, should know .something anout the nature of mold. He should know the conditions which are favorable and those which are unfavorable to the growth. Such knowledge will enable him not only To successfully check the scourge, when present, but also prevent its further ^^rowth.

Science ' tells us that mold is a plant, tjiough of a very low order. JÀke other plants it grows from seed, called spores. Mold spores, like many other micro-organisms, abound in the air around us, and, given favor able conditions and a suitable medium^ they will settle and grow. Settel they will .under any favorable condition, l5ut unless they find a moist surface to rest upon tlioy are likely to bo carried up gain by aerial currents and will not grow.

Dampness, bad ventilation, medium temperature, and absence of light, favors the growth of mold, but the opposite conditions, i.e., dryness, good ventilation, high temperatures and light, will retard or even stop its growth.

If, and when, dryness, good ventilation, high temperature and light are present and given the proper application in creamery work, the but- termaker need not woi*ry very much about mold or its effects.

Dryness, good ventilation and light in any workroom add greatly to the comfort and pleasure, of the work- ers, so there should be no' need of specially urging any one to apply these conditions in creamery work for the purpose merely of preventing the growth of mold. These conditions should also be pro-vdefed in the places used for storing supplies, such as salt, packages, parchment paper, etc. The use of lime for whitewashing walls' and ceilings and for scrubbing wooden utensils and floors, will be found very helpful in keeping the creamery and utensils in a sanitary condition, free from mold. I

The high temperatures spoken of may be employed in the form of boiling water with or without the addition of time or washing soda, ôr the final scalding of floors and utensils, and also in the daily re-boiling of the brine in which the^ parchment liners and print wrappers are . prepared.

Lack of cleanliness in the place where it was made is undoubtedly the most frequent cause of mold in or on butter, or it may be due to careless^ ness in the storing and preparation of the packagaes — boxes, parchment paper and coverings—^prior to using.

A frequent, thorough and critical inspection of the work and storage rooms, and utensils, at the creamery, will reveal the presence of mold before it gets a chance to do much damage. Knowing how to combat it, the person in charge must shoulder the responsibility of dealing with it promptly and vigorously.

In the light of what we have said L the foregoing, the following re-

commendations are made respeeWng the care and preparation of butter packages. I. The material used in the making of butter boxes should be dry and well seasoned, and the boxes stored in a dry, clean and well ventilated storage. The inner surface of every box should be evenly coated with paraffin wax. The jute bags, where si>ch are used for covering the butter packages in shipment, and the parchment paper-box liners and print wrappers, should a»so be stored in a dry, clean and well ventilated place. 2. The parchment papers should be immersed for at least six hours before using in a receptacle containing-brine made of salt and water—just strong enough to float a potato. The brine should be re-boiled after a fresh batch of paper is put it, in order to destroy by iieat OTB mold spores ad- hering to tlie paper. An indurated fibre tub is about the h*'M ■ 'f> use for holding the brine in which the parchment paper is prepared.

When passing call and see styles and patterns.

The Herd Hoar During the pasture sea.son the herd

boar may T>e allowed to forage for two-thirds of his ration, his grain feed being cut doYvn in proportion This applies in much the same proportion to brood sow.s, shoats and fattening hogs. The change from straight grain to grass and grain should be made gradually. The herd boar needs a small grain ration to keep him in smooth and thrifty but not fat cpndition. .Judgment must detennine just what that condition should be. The condition and thrift of the animal, together with his ap-

petite are the factors to judge by.The ' grain ration may consist of one-third I oats, one-third barley or one-third middlings, and should be fed dry or

! verr- slightly dampened while the boar is on grass.

! Water should also be kept where he can go to it at any time. If there is no natural shade in the pasture.

! artificial shade should be provided During the dry period of mid-sum

, mer it may be advisable to have ape cial pastureage provided for the boar in a small pasture lot on which he may be turned over night to get extra succulent feed. Rape or late sown oats and peas will serve such a purpose efccellently. The boar should have good shelter to sleep in or to stay in during the day when it is chilly and disagreeable weather.

From the close or the pasture season to the opening of spring the herd boar should hav'e a comfortable pen in a large permanent house from which he has access to run to c.ver- cise in, or he should have a cot kept clean and well bedded and properly protected ' in a yar<>.

In feeding during winter, supply a good bone and mu.scle forming succulent ration. The latter point always has * the effect of invigorating and toning the system and also of reducing the amount oi concentrated feeds required, therefore reducing the cost of keep.

There is nothing mysterious in J'C-

gard to the proper feeding and care of the herd boar to keep him in good breeding condition. It i.s simply a matter of employing and encourag- ing nature by using intelligently a few well clôsen feeds that supply the necessary elements for proper development, vigor, bone and constitution in the animal, provisions made for the necessary shelter for comfort at all seasons of tne year and proper limitation of the amount of service, (llose observation, judgment, some study and experience will enable any- one to get good results.

and the container. It bears the name of the creamery, the creamery brand and a serial number for each producer. By means of the stamp which thus appears on each egg and each package, it is possible to trace

. the blame for any carelessness or poor quality where it belongs. A repetition of any offence of this na- tare may be suiflcient ground foi refusing to handle the eggs of that particular producer.

It has been found that the. eggs handled by this creamery are in great demand and are quickly disposed of at tlie Highest prices. The success of this e.xperiment, which las been repeated by at least one locality, has also .shown the farmers that money can be made in raising poultry and has rncouraged them to increase their stock and take better care of the eggs.

The above is only an abstract of the bulletin which is very interesting reading.

the Marketing Eggs through Creamery.

Farmers' Bulletin. No. 448, by Rob R. Slocum, issued by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture, first describes how the farmer usually markets his eggs. He gathers them when convenient at intervals of several days and keeps them in the house without any regard to conditions or temperature, and when occasion arises for his going to town, dumps them all together, clean, dirty, white and brown, fresh and stale. They are taken to some merchant and the price is generally paid in trade. The merchant holds the eggs until he has enough to make a shipment to some egg dealer or shipper from whom he gets regular quotations, and this delay may be anv’where from two days to two weeks. They are subject to further delay after they reach viie pack- ing house, all of' which means de- terioration in the quality of the e^gs, with the result of lower prices and less profit to the larmer.

The average farmer through carelessness and lack of knowledge pro- duces indifferent eggs ; the method of buying in vogue places no pre- mium on quality, and the farmer producing clean eggs and putting them in the hands of the storekeeper

a good, fresh condition realizes no more for them than does the careless farmer, one-quarter or one- third of whose eggs may be bad.

The writer then goes on to de- scribe a system of marketing which is in successful operation and which seems to be accomplishing this result. The marketing of eggs in this particular instance is through a creamery in the northern part of Minnesota. The eggs are brought by the farmer directly to the creamery when bringing his milk. While this particular creamery is privately owned, it is essentially co-operative in that its owner and manager is a far-sighted business man with other interests in the village, and he • sees that the increased agricultural pros- perity of the community will eventually be to his advantage. In consequence, he is content to take a small profit for himself and to pay the farmers as IlPerally as possible for both their cream and eggs. Any patron of the creamery or any other person who will sign a required agreement may market his eggs iu this way. At present about one hundred and thirty-five farmers are taking advantage of this method of disposing of their eggs. They arc scat- tered over quite a wide territory, one man finding it to his advantage to drive in fourteen miles with his eggs.

The main points of the argument signed by the farmers are as follows : They agree to deliver eggs at thy creamery that will not exceed eight days old ^rui these shall be gathered twice a day ; eggs to be of uniform size ; eggs to be clean and kept in a dry cool cellar. Brown eggs to be put in one carton and white in another and so marked. Each egg to be stamped on the side and carton stamped on the top. It is also agreed that no, eggs marked with the creamery company’s stamp shall be sold ,to nny one else than the creamery companj^

To every person sigtftng the above agreement a smaT? rubber stamp is given for use in stamping the egg.s

The Dealer’s Woes At the request of Mr. R. H. Cowan,

who handles the repairs for the Deer- ing, McCormick and Massey-Harris Companies, we publish the following. Mr. Cowan hopes those interested will see the point :

The farmer gazed with heavy frown Upon his mower broken down, Tlien hastened to the nearest town

To buy repairs. He told the dealer of his woe, And how much*grass he had to mow, But not a number did he know.

Nor seemed to care.

’I’he part I want," he wisely said. Is hollowed out and painted red,

I had the number in my head, Ifiit 1 forgot.

It holds the thing-um-bob in place, ’Steen inches from- that long, iron brace That fastens to tê big main base

And keeps it set.

"You surely know^just what I mean, It broke before on this machine. That what-you-call-ums it's between,

And just behind 'J'hat thing wliich moves along like that About as big as this old hat Would be if you should smash it flat,

I think you’ll find."

The dealer sighed and shook his head, T don’t know what you mean,"he said ‘We’ll have to search the extra shed,

So come along, If you would only tax your brain. So that the number you’d, retain, Or bring the old part in, 'tis plain

You’d .not go wrong."

From end to end he searched the bins, Crawled over castings, bolts and pins, And skinned his fingers and his shins ;

It made him •'cuss." But still he searched with sinking heart (He’d seen ty^-o customers depart) And in the last bin found the part

"Twas ever thus.”

"That’s it," the farmer cried with glee; "I thought ’twas number thirty-three, Now, what’s the price of that to me ?

Great Jumpin’ Frogs ! Not forty cents ? An awful rate For a thing that hasn’t got no weight Oh, well, just put it on the slate

Till I thresh my hogs."

comicoB npts There are perhaps few even among

those who take* their daily smokes through a corncob pipe, who have any idea of the extent of manufacture or the amount of money made in their production. Missouri leads in this unique indiisiry, five towns in that state making a specialty in con- verting rough and practically worth- less corncobs into a commodity which is in great demand the world over. 1-ast year. Bill), the seven factories in these towns netted 8450,4l.'<, the gain over the 1909 product being 82,000.

So,me items about this industry may be interesting to the users of tobacco. The production of 1910 amounted to 26,45.0,.584 pipes all made from Missouri corncobs with more or less fancy stems and of varying values. It took ninety-four ordinary size freight cars to haul this quantity to market. Fourteen ordinary cob pipes weigh a pound, and figuring thus the many millions of uipes weighinT 1,888,248 pounds. When 20,000 pounds of pipes are piled into a car it makes a very bulky load.

In the seven factories in Missouri there is invested S239,94.S, of which 887,286 is in grounds and buildings, and in machinery and tools. To produce pipes worth 84.50,418, it requires disbursements of 8368,449. The wages and salaries were divided between 283 male and thirty-eight female, employees.

Cornwall, Ont., June '20, 1911. REFKUKE'S REPORT.

The Referee.—This is an appeal from a report of W. H- Magwood, C. E., pio\iding for the construction of a '.riain drainage work in the Town-

v^'.ïp of l.ochiel, one branch of which conunences at the boundary line bo* twee?} the Townships of i.ancaster and * oclrel at fhe southerly end of Lot

.0 in the first concession of the Township of Lochiel.

There has been some diecrission as to whether or not the lands in Lan- •orîster, opposite that portion of Loch-

which this work will drain are or are not artificially drained.

No serious dispute arises as to the latKÎH of l‘etor McBougakl, 1^. vardinil and J. J. Hambleton, at the easterly end of the Lancaster territory.

n. .1. McDonald, owner of the north ârt of lot number 4, is in a peculiar , osltirn. He has a drain near tlie boundary line, between himself ; and Peter McOougaid, which collects water connng from the east and carries it

across his lot to a point at about the middle of l::s farm,, there 'he \vatr>r drops into what has been called a “sink hole," and Mr. Mag- wood's ns}<istant, who measured up the jrea to be drained, was at first under

I be imytvssion that that water .would md its way to the surface again and

he continued down, what superficial observniion would naturally lead one to suppose would be its natural course

When Mr. jMagwood, however, came 'o chock up his assistant's work he

1‘oncludod that, he could not say be- ;ond a reasonable doubt that that vator was carried into Lochiel, an4

he thought it more conservative not to ai-sess in this scheme lands tribut- vy :o the “sink hole." Unfortunately ‘.owever the acreage in the schedule »f assessment remains as Mr. Sred-

•veU had it,-and some little confusion has arisen as to that, on account of hoi'e being a discrepancy between the

; mber of acre.s stated as being drained in I.ancaster in the body of the re-

ort and the number of acres obtain- 'd by adding up the items in the Lan- caster schedule of assessment.

The explanation, as given[is a very .^‘mple one, and while I am speaking

J it, it might be well to dispose of it ■';.v directing tlmt the report be amend- J so that the number of acres in the chedule will correspond with the num

■>er of acres in the body of the report, vhich can be done by Mr. Magwood ling a consent, winch no doubt will

,:e readily'given. A few feet beyond the “sink hole"

Mr. D. J, McDonald has an artificial train carried to his westerly boixnd- ?iry. That was along an old natural watercourse—whether or not it was at one time artificially continued still further westerly across the land of Na- poleon Deguire, it is now difficult to say—if so, it has become so far out of repair, that the easterly portion of the course across Deguire/s land no*w appeal's to be more a swale tham a ditch. After continuing across Do- guirc's to a point where another drain 39 brought from a southerly direction to a point of junction which in evidence has been called a “Y,” we find undoubted artificial work, then again also lower down, or I might perhaps Say northerly, because the trend of water tlien takes a northerly course hist before the crossing into AngusMc- Oonaid’s lot, there is artificial work on a small cultivated portion of De-

• guire’s property, althfiugh from thence on in that particular course there is no artificial work now apparent until the town line road is reached.

Tn the rear of the Deguire lot is Oscar Beauchamp and to the west of him A. Fournier. The evidence is that from each of these lots there is artificial work leading to what has been called the “Y" on the Deguire property.

West of Napoleon Deguire is Angus McDonald, whose property appears to be the most serious bone of conten- tion on this appeal. There is beyond question on the evidence water con- ducted across McDonald’s lot to the road by the depression to which I have referred, but I do not understand from the evidence that *nere is 'any artificial work in that depression. There is some six hundred feet of ditch extend- ing southerly fi;om the boundary line alond McDonald's line which the evidence clearly shows to be artificial, not sei'ious in size, but artificial work leading to the boundary road.

FartheT west there is another course of water which the evidence satisfies me to be artificial work which leads water to the boummry road. I see no teason in the work* to doubt the evidence of Mr. Angus McRae who says that that was originally a winter bush road constructed for the simple purpose of bringing out some hop poles, it was however constructed as a road .and there appears to ha\’e been some

•earth thrown up in the process, so that there is naturally a water run along tliat course.

I cannot see that it makes any par- ‘ ticular difference wnat the owner had

■n mind in constructing a course—it is fact as Mr, Magwood says, that

there is another ruo of water coxping ^rom a southerly direction which would ordinarily lead over to Mr. UcDoug-

1 aid's land, and which is intercepted ( by that run at that point.

Therefore, I think I must find on the evidence that there is water caused to riow from Mr. McDonald’s lot to the boundary line roao, and thence to the drain which is to be improved by the proposed work.

It is not of a very serious nature, and that is largely explained by the fact that Mr. McDougald's lot, in so far as I saw it, is almost altogether still in bush and pasture, no serious attempt to cultivate it has ever yet been made, and I would not be sur- prised to learn that that would be largely due to the lack of drainage facilities which are now so poor that he could not very well cultivate the lower and more valuable portion of his land.

.As to the others interested, Morris- on, Angus McRae, McDonald and Cha- lette, Mr. Magwood's evidence is very clear indeed that there are artificial watei'ways conducting the water to the couree of the drain and in order that it may be understood that I have not found it necessary to accept the evidence of one engineer against another, I would point out that Mr. Magwood had the advantage of the large amount of work done by himself and his assistant, Mr. Stidwell, as necessaiy to the preparation of the elaborate report which is on fi|p here, whereas the examination of Méssrs. McTênnan and Lewis was necessarily cursory, and 1 think it is very much to the credit of these latter gentlemen that they did not seriously challenge Mr. Magwood's work or Mr. Magwood’s finding. I'hey point out very properly that the work done is not serious in character, but they voluntarily go perhaps a st(.'p farther man Mr. Magwood in calling attention to the fact . that there is a block of 140 odd acres at the east end which is unquestionably drained into the work in question.

Oh the whole, therefore, I find that each one of the lands in the Township of Ijwicaster which is assessed does in fact use the.drainage work as an outlet, and’ that an improved outlet which they certainly need will be provided for them by the proposed work when it is constructecT. . I should say that I have dictated already a report on inspection which will explain my reference to an ele- ment of personal Knowledge which I have used in making these findings.

The report was attacked on three or four different grounds, which 1 will deal w’Hh sorîatîm.

The first is that it is defective, in that it does not give the proper des-. cription of the lands assessed as to their acreage, l'hat is intended to re- fer to the lands tributary to the “sink hole."

The objection, if it wêre well taken, would be overcome by the amendment which I have already provided for, but I do not lliink the objection is well taken because it is not a ground of appeal, and as Mr. Cline very can- didly and very properly confessed, was something of wliicli lie had no knowledge until in tjio course of taking the evidence here to-day.

It is perhaps some handicap to the Township of Lancaster, and their proceedings in the Court of Revision wdll be facilitated by the amendment.

'J'he next objection is that the engineer has filed one oath df office only as covei'ing a piece of work done under two petitions, and that is follow- ed by the objection that there is no authority for the Township Council or the engineer to amalgamate two petitions and consti-uct one work as a

As to the difficulty, if one exists, in regard to the oath of office, I would point out that the amendment made to section 5 of the Act in 1910 by the addition of sub-section 2, overcomes a former conflict of decision, and makes the filing of the oath directory only, so that even if there were any difficulty it would not in any way affect the validity of the report.

I do not take it that there is anything to prevent the covering of the two petitions by tlie one oath where, as the fact is here, the TownshipCoun- cil and its engineer thought it proper to amalgamate the two petitions. There is nothing in the Act to for- bid the amalgamation of two proposed schemes into one. I am not aware of any decided case on the point, but I hold as a matter of law that the Act itself does inferentlally permit Uie engineer .and the Township Council to do what has been done in this case,where the result is, as in lais case, an un- questionable saving of expense. I would have thought it improper on the other hand to go to the expense of two sets of proceedings with all the attendant expense of by-laws and courts of revision, wnere one is suffi-

It was a fortunate coincidence that these two petitions came in at once, perhaps it was something more than a coincidence, it may have been the result of a Utile prudent foresight on the part of the engineer or somebody in the council.

Those in authority knew that the one outlet would be the proper outlet for the relief of the two different sec- tions of land, and noi only was it not ilfcgal in my mind, but it was emin- ently proper that the two schemes should be combined as they have been combined here.

I do hot desire to be taken as holding that two entirety different drainage schemes could or should be covered by one by-law’, that is not the case here, these two naturallv linked together and no possible object could have been, in the mind or the Council or its engineer other than the very proper object of saving expense to the people, for whom they were acting as trustees.

The only other objection which I have not already covered is the objec- tio ntbat the work is extended beyond the jurisdiction of the municipality in- asmuch as it provides for the construction of a culvert aciK>ss the town line road.

That is not an objection in law.The Act contemplates that class of work, without which it would be impossible

I to continue a work from one municip- j ality. into another ' For these reasouffT lÉill 'satisfied that

Your efforts in the dische^rge of your duties as teacher have distinguished you and we feel pride in saying you have been our teacher. Words fail to express our sorrow in parting with you, dear teacher, for' had we not your kindest wishes, did not our interests have your firsfi thought always, and was not the time that, might have been spent in recreation for yourself used for our edification. Is it any wonder w’e have learned to love you, and that we are deeply grieved in parting with you a dear friend and teacher. Vve trust you will accept this little souv- enir and our most sincere tbiinks foi all your kindness. We linger dear teacher in saying “good-bye," but we must say it, and in doing so, we 'wish you health, wealth and happiness.

Occasions When the Barristers Feast and Revel,

“Grand Days" are ■ the red-letter days in the gastronomic calendar of the Inns of Court. - J

Picture an ancient ball whose walls rose before the Armada ships were sighted; the light streaming through Elizabethan windows on paneled wall i aflame with heraldic shields, a riohly- oarved roof were deep shadows sleep; at one end of the hall a gorgeous screen of oak, carved in Tudor days; at the other, pictured kings, who have looked down on generations of feast- ing.

The Hall—that of the Middle Tem- ple—stands to-day as it stood when ^cen Bess trod a measure with Ra- leigh within its walls. Here, too, Shakespeare planned the setting of his “Twelfth Night."

It is Grand Day in Middle Temple Hall, and from the vantage ground of the gallery behind the wonderful screen we are looking down on the festive scene.

Beneath us the Hall is black with moving figures, all wearing gowns— sleeved for the full-blown barrister, sleeveless for the neophyte.

Three loud raps at the portal, and the scene is swiftiy changed. The gos- siping knote of lawyers scurry, like so many alarmed schoolboys, to their re- spective stations, and stand in long files at the tables in an attitude of decorous expectancy.

Through a wide-flung doorway beneath our feet we see a richly-gowned official, holding aloft a silver-crowned staff, enter the Hall. Behind him follows a long prooession of benchers and guests, marching two abreast, through an avenue of standing barristers to the upper end of the Hall, where each takes up the po-sition as- signed to him on the raised dais “a^ve the salt."

Three blows on the table with a wooden mallet—the old, knightly form of invoking the Trinity; a few words in Laün by way of grace; then, as one man, three hundred diners take their seato amid a babel of voices and a clatter of spoons and dishes. The feast has begun.

While it is proceeding, cast your eyes to the far end of the Hall, where the great ones are already eating their soup. The central figure is the treas. urer of the Inn, a dignified K.C., the host of the day. Right and left of him are royal princes. Cabinet Minis- ters, judges, bishops, world famous sol- iffiers, artists, and so on, each with a bencher by his side to play the host to him individually.

“Beneath the salt”—flanking long, jwallel tables—the barristers and students feast in messes of four, each mess adorned by it phalanx of wine- bottles; lor such high occasions call for an extra allowance of the “cup that cheers.” Each mess has its “captain,” who presides over the old-world ceremonial of the wineglass, with its ordered bows and courtesies.

A loud, resouding rap from the benchers’ -table. Every voice is hush- ed, and, as one man, the entire as- •embly rises to its feet. “Charge your glasses, gentlemen I" Three hundred sparkling, beaded glasses are raised aloft. '“The King S The King !" thun- der back three hundred voices. As many glasses are drained, seats are reaumea, and once more the revelry

Only Premier to Wear Prison Garb. Sir Starr Jameson, now in England

for Die benefit of his health, is A wonderful example of the self-made man. Thirty years ago he sailed to Cape Colony to set up as a doctor. In Kimberley he shared rooms with another young man, and few thought that this ordinary young couple were destined in the future to make history. DT. Jameson afterwards became the leading man in the colony, whilst his companion was Cecil Rhodes.

Dr. Jameson does not boast much la stature, but what he lacks in inches be makes up in pluck. He once kept back, single-handed, a wild mob out- eide a jail, whose object was to lynch a prisoner.

I)r. Jameson has himself seen the inside of a prison, not, as one might expect, during 'an inspection—but as a convict. Some years back he was eentenced to fifteen months’ imprison- ment, and he has, therefore, the distinction of being the only Prime Min- ister who has worn prison garb. Speaking of this incident, the doctor said: “Revolution, to be justified, must be successful—ours was not. I made a mess of it, and got fifteen months—that is all. I may add one thing, I deserved fifteen years — for failing."

From Boilermaker to Premier. The Hon. J. S. T. McGowen, the

Labor Premier of New South Wales, who recently arrived in England, speaks with pride of the good influence of his father and mother. The latter was at one time a Manchester mill girl, while his father was a young Liverpool workman, earning S2s. per week. The two emigrated to Australia, Mr. McGowen being born at sea on the way to that colony. At fifteen he was apprenticed to a boilermaker, and soon became an ardent trade unionist. For twenty years he has played a prominent part as a labor leader and politician. He has addressed as many as 70,000 people in the suburbs of Sydney in one night. But he has not given all his time to politics. For^hirty years out of the fifty-six years ^his life he has been a Sundav school worker.

The Kohinoor. The Kohinoor, the big diamond

DOW in the crown of England, was an ornament on the tomb of Abbar, near Agra, for more than a century, in the open air without guard, until Nadir, Shah of Persia, who invaded India in 1739, sacked the palaces and tombs of the moguls and carried back to Teheran 300,000,000 worth of loot.

Can't Cure Inebriates. The municipal effort on the part of

the Ixindon Council to check the in- creasing drunkenness among women shows that more than 46 per cent. rtdapsed and only a sm4^1 percentage of the remainder were effectively re- formed.

..’hich formerly were used in the ibrary of Denmark Hill. While writ- ,ng ‘Modern Painters* Ruskin sat in

them, while his parents used Jhe two others. They sat in the lib- tary while he was working, and when Le finiehed a chapter he would read it lo them for their criticism.

"He was their only child, and fteittier of them was young when he ÿas bom. Mr. Ruskin, sr., was en- ,aged to the lady who afterward be- iajne his wife nine years before they ere married. He was working to pay

éfl his father’s debts. He was in affluent circumstances when hie son was ^rn, and his wealth increased as iime went on.

• I "^t was because he was reared in affluent circumstances that so many |>eople contend that John Ruskin was Mrogant and dictatorial. In reality fle was quite the reverse. He was bot only charming to grown peo- ble, but he was beloved by all the foildren who ever knew him. His. paving had everything that money ûld buy all his life made him a lii-

difficult for some persons to und^r- kiand. I never heara of his riding in; a bus but once in his life. If he did- n't have his own carriage he hired one.

"He didn’t get the love of his life, ôwever. He was in love with two ^men, but never with his wife. In 1874 he told my father that while at jpoUege, when he was less than 18, he became desperately in love with Adele plothlide Domecq, the daughter of his father’s Spanish partner in the wine business. He said slie had led him on, and when he finally proposed she laughed at him and treated his love, which to him was most serious, a mat- iter f<tr jest.

"Mv father told me that even at that late date, 1874, Kuskm spoke of Ler with bitterness, saying her flip- pant U'eatment of him had affected his ôle life. She was a beautiful, viva- icious girl, and nobody wondered that he lost his heart to her, though it jwould have been remarkable had she fancied such a serious young man as he was at tlie time.

"There was notliing romantic at>out hi« marriage except its tragic ending. He had not recovered from his attack bf calf love when he met Euphemia CSialmers Gray, a beautiful Scotch girl »jid the daughter of old friends of his parents. Both his father and hi«s mother and mother were anxious for him to marry her, so much so that his tether paid her father’s debts to the amount of $70,000. Their marriage was a marriage in name only.

"Mrs. Jo-hn Ruskin’s love affair with Millais began while the two Millais brothers were in Scotland one summer

! ^*ith the Ruskin’s. Millais used Mrs. ; Ruskin as his model for the wife in I pis painting 'The Order for Release.' It was during this time that they fell in love with each other.

! "Rose La Touche, the girl who was really the love of John Ruskin’s life,.

, was born just one year after Ruskin was marri^, though he never saw her until 1861. She was the daughter of an Irish banker, and I have heard that her mother and father were a strikingly handsorr>e couple. Ruskin. proposé to her, or rather spoke to her parents, when she was about 17. Be- cause of her youth her parents refused their consent, but Rose promised to wait for him. He wore her promise between two gold plates over his heart, and always kept the date, Feb. 2, as a festival.

"His best work was inspired by her. 8ome of the most loeautiful and touch- ing letters I have ever read were writ- ten U) him by her. When she reached her twenty-first birthday, which was the daW iiameil by her parents as the end oi Ruskin’s ixrobation, her health was too poor ior her to marry. Instead, of getting fc-tionger s'he went into a decline, and she died iii 1876. Kus.kiik never recovered frOiûl the'ahock."

OÎ Interest

^ ^ to Women

FA SfflONS Pongee, linen anct light-weight serge

suits are very necessary tor the Bum- mer outfit of the young girl. Dainty flowered muslins and simple white frocks are very charming and becoming, but they are not/always practical

-and the well dressed girl of today finds it requisite to have several pretty frocks on the tailor-made order. Such frocks are not smart made in anything but the heavier materials ; that is to say that the sheerer textures, as voile, must have a lining if it is desired to make them into coat a^d skirt suits, although coat effects in ‘ batiste, lawn or muslin may be carried out to be extremely pretty in one or two piece gowns.

There is a Buster Brown style of dress that is being made for grown- ups this summer which is extremely at tractive in colored as well as in any

• straight becomingly hung model,while the jacket is literally on the lines of the familiar Kussian blouse with -square sailor collar of white linen or pique and wide patent leather belt of black or color. This suit is effective in white with pink, light or dark blue, red or green collar and cuffs, and equally attractive. in any shade with white at neck and finishing the sleeves. If the collar is cut sufliciently high no waist need be demanded beneath the jacket, but such a style of dress will look better with shirt-waist and high collar worn under the jacket. Flat pearl buttons and the linen covered ones are equally popular for the linen

, gowns.

its owner is caught in a shower.Some of the most expensive of sucli parasols have handsomely carved Imndles in flower, animal *or bird shape. White parasols banded with black velvet are among the novelties and brilliantly colored ones veiled with chiffon to tone them down. Border of one kind and center part of another are liked.Fray- ed niches, fringes and little frills fiu- isli the edges of frivolous ones. One One of the new ideas is the plain silk top with an edge of overlapping petal shaped pieces of silk. Sometimes the edge is scalloped or battlemcnted and has a frill of lace under the cut-out ornaments. Beaded and spangled parasols are not unknown.

STUFFED 0^'I0^'S.■ Boil good sized white onions in wa-

ter slightly salted for an hour, changing the water three times. Then lift them out, carefully, and lay on a cloth and remove thè center. Fill the cav- ity with a dressing of two tablespoon fills bread-crumbs, one large spoonful grated cheese, one teaspoonful catsup, a little cream, salt and pepper. Kash a little of the onion witli this. Wrap each in a piece of buttered tissue paper and twist the paper securely at the ends. Place them in a buttered pan and bake in a moderate oven for an hour. Remove the paper, put into a deep dish, sprinkle a little salt and pepper over them and pour some melt ed butter over them.'

A new style of pump has appeared ■ this season. There is a strap across the instep which holds the pump on the foot and between this short strap •and the toe the leather is cut away in a round or heart-shaped opening to show the silk stopking over the instep

’ These new pumps are excellent for the •foot on which an ordinary pump will not fit without slipping off at the heel; but the woman whose foot is plump enough to wear a low-cut pump com- fortably without any retaining strap •at the instep should do so, for such a pump, with its slipper lines is always more becoming than a strapped model.

• • •

Among the newest wrinkles in umbrella handles is a long aiTangement of crystal, studded with jewels. One may have most any color jewel—there are kinds enough to please many tastes. There are topaz, emeralds, op- als and amethysts sunken in the crystal, and the effect is very striking. One purchases the handle separately

. and has it mounted upon whatever kind or color of ram-protector one likes best.

îsew styles in knitted sweaters are •constantly appearing, and some of them are fascinatingly attractive. The

:silk sweater is the latest luxury along this line. Of course these silk knitted -garments are rather expensive ; but they give such graceful lines and the ooiors are so lovely that it is hard to resist them. Middy sweaters will be liked by younger women. They are belted in at the waist, and have deep sailor collars and embroidered chev- rons on sleeves and collar. Another .«smart sweater has, instead of the sail- ♦•or collar, the new deep hood, finished -with a tassel, hanging at the back. Nobody should go away on a vacation without a sweater of some sort, for these coats are easy to carry, delight- fully warm and rough treatment, or even a wetting, will-not hurt them in the least.

The vogue for the separate collar is still at its height, and the more you can number in your summer outfit the greater variety and resultant success will there be in your appearance. It is not diflSxïult to attain variety if you take a little time to modify the orign- al sailor collar idea. It can be of p>er- fectly plain mousseline, so fine that it is but a thin veil over the dress. A broad hem, an inen in width, is all that is necessary, to edge it. Then there is the sailor collar of eyelet em-

■broidery in strips or bought by the ;yai'd. The collar of finely tucked hand kerchief linen comes easily to mind, while the batiste or lawn shape hem- iîtitched offers another hint.

* • • •

"One charming dress of batiste is effectively trimmed with eyelet embroidery, Valenciennes and torchon laces. The bodice and wide flounce at bot- tom of skirt are formed of the pretty

. all-over embroidery. This frock has a low, round neck and flowing kimono sleeves, witli insertions of Valenciennes and torchon lac.e8. At the waist line is a crushed girdle of light blue mos- saline, finished off nl the back with a rosette bow.

The dressmakers have experimented with boleros for two seasons, anu they seem to have landed them into fashion at last. They are worn in bright colors with white muslin gowns or old- fashioned frocks of floral organdie. They are finished around the edge with a plaited niching of ribbon or a ruffle of lace. The severe ones have only a little cord covered with silk or satin.

The moat all-around practical sun- shade and a very smart one is covered with shot silk, perfectly plain, and of .size enough to keep off raindrops if

GRAPE CATSUP.

For grape catsup allow a pound of sugar to five pounds of tlie fruit. Boil the sugar in- a cupful of vinegar for a quarter of an hour with half an ounce each of cloves, mace and cinnamon. Meanwhile bring the pulp and skins of the grapes to a scalding point, cool and rub them through a sieve, ^dd the pulp to the vinegar and cook for twenty minutes. If the catsup is loo thick it may be reduced witli vinegar.

CHERRY SHORTCAKE.

For cherry shortcake make a soft dough by mixing together two cupfuls of flour sifted with a heaping teaspoon ful of baking powder, a teaspoonful of salt, and half a cupful of shortening, which may be half each of butter and lard ; add two tablespoons of sugar and mix with a well beaten egg and enough mjlk to maKe the dough of the right consistency. Roil otit in two layers and bake in the same pan with flecks of butter between. When baked the two layers will separate nicely. The cherry filling should be in readi- ness to spread between the shortcake, and on top ; large, ripe cherries are pitted and crushed slightly in a bowl with sugar, the right quantity to use being decided by tasting the juice as you mix. The sauce will be more delicious if prepared several hours before it is required. Se^^-e with cream if desire<l or without.

BOSTON PUNCH.

Put two cups of granulated sugar in a pitcher and pour over it a pint of hot strong tea of your favorite blend. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture cooled. Then add a cup of orange juice and the juice of a small lemon or lime. Strain into the punch bowl over a large block of ice and when it is quite ready to serve add a pint of ginger ale, a pint of apollrn- aris and a few very thin slices of ♦orange, preferably a small blood orange.

RASPBERRY RICE PUDDING.

Into a double boiler put three cupfuls of milk, one fourth cupful of sugar, and one half a teaspoonful of salt Blanch one-half cupful of sweet almonds, cut them into strips or chop fine, put into the boiler with the milk, and when it is hot, add one cupful of well-washed rice ; steam until the rice is tender. When it is ready to servo, dip into frappe glasses or fancy cups until half full. Then fill with raspberries and pile whipped cream on the top

BLACKBERRYADE

Wash quickly and drain nice, juicy, ripe blackbemes. Mash them with wooden potato masher and strain thiu cheesecloth. Measure, and to every quart of juice add a quart of boiling water, a few whole cloves, an inch piece of stick cinnamon and a crushetl hay leaf; Cover and let steep, then let stand in a cool place for twenty- four hours, stirring it now and then. Strain off clear, and to a gallon of the juice add two pounds and a half of bes-t crushed loaf sugar. Stir until the sugar is '^dissolved, then put it in jars or bottles and seal up. This makes an especially good summer bev- erage, useful for invalids and children as well as grown-ups.

HOW TO KNOW GOOD BEEF.

, Too much care cannot be exercised in the selection of meats. The toilow-

I ing will help the housekeeper in re- . cognizing good beef * j The meat of beef should be neither j too red nor too pale, and the fat should be slightly tinged with yellow. Gristle between the fat and the lean shows that the animal was old.

For roasting purposes tendenous parts sliould be avoided, as they become h^rd and horny when cooked, unless stewed or used for soup.

THINGS GOOD TO EAT Shredded Ham With Jelly. — (Jut

enough cold boileci ham into shreds to make at least a cupful or more if the number.to be served is large; to each pup allow half a cup of currant jelly,' a level tablespoon of butter, a dash of nutmeg. Melt the butter, dissolve the jelly with it, and add the ham, heating all together a few min-

j utes. iêrvo with lettuce sandwiches I or brown bread and butter, j Tomato Rarebit.—Melt two tablespoons of butter. Stir in two table-

' spoons of flour, and when smooth add * a scant cup of rich milk. Cook and stir until the mixture thickens, then stir in a small cup of tomato with a pinch of soda. Add t wo cups of shav-

' ed dry cheese, two well-beaten eggs, 'salt, mustard and cayenne to suit the : taste. Do not cook too long after j the cheese melts.

Tîneapple Omelet. — To the grated pulp and the juice of a pineapple add

[ one cup granulated sugar and boil ' till the syrup thickens. Make an j omelet in the usual way with five ^ eggs, and fold in the hot pineapple I Dust with sugar, and brown the top slightly in the oven.

I Stewed lettuce is not only appetiz- [ ing, but economical as well, as it I calls for the coarse green outside 1 leaves that cannot well be used in salads. Wash the leaves carefully,

I coyer with boiling salted water till i tender. Drain and chop them. In a [small sauce-pan put a little butter and flour, and when a smooth paste has

PRESERVED RIPE TOMATOES

Scald and peel red ripe tomatoes. To each pound oT fruit allow one pound of sugar and one leinon. Grate the yellow rind of the lemon and squeeze out the juice. Put enough water over the sugar to dissolve jt, skim the syrup carefully, add the tomatoes and cook slowly for two hours. When about done add the lemon juice and the grated rind.

TO UI.EAN A SILVER PURSE.

'Any woman •who owns a silver purse, either sterling or German, and who constantly pays the jeweler for clean- ing it, in order to save gloves and light dresses, will be very glad to know that common baking soda will clean it in a few minutes. That is what most jewelers use. Just take plenty of soda and a little water, and wash between the hands or with a brush ; rinse and dry.

HINTS FOR THi: ilO: SEWiPK

Don’t starch jabots and thin lace collars before ironing. Try using a half teaspoonful of granulated sugar in a pan of water; Rinse the articles in this, wring out and roll in a towel for a short while. Then iron, and the jabots will look as if they had never lost their original dressing.

To restore the fragrance of baskets made from sweet-scented grass, aft^r they have apparently lost it, plunge them into boiling water, removing them almost instantly.

If the housewife who makes bread will beat it well with a large spoon before she puts her hands in it she will find that her bread w'ill be light and wholesome. , A delicious filling for layer cake is made by mixing a pound of finelv minced shelled almonds with two eggs, a cupful of confectioner’s sugar and a teaspoouful of vanilla.

Knives should never be dipped in hot water, as it loosens the handles. The blades may be placed upright in the water in a mug, by which plan the handles will be kept dry.

When next ■ creaming carrots add half a teaspoonful of onion juice and a dash of grated nutmeg to the white sauce- Add the boiled diced carrots and serve.

When washing while dress skirts do not wring them,, but hang thena drip- ping wet on the line by the belt. The weight of * the water prevents any shrinking and keeps tlie skirt an even length.

A good-sized crust of bread placed in a kettle in wlutî caoliflower or cab bage is cooked wîll prevent a disagree able odor.

To soften boots and shoes rab castor oil thoroughly into the leather. This will remove the elasticity and life of the leather. Any ordinary oil will answer the potrpose,. but castor oil is the best.

If new enamel saucepans are placed in a pan of warm water, allowed to come to the boil, amt then cool, they will be found to last much longer before- either cracking or burning.

TO SET UOT.ORS.

In washing the light summer fabrics, the one hope ot every woman is that they will not fade. Follow these suggestions and you need not have any anxiety on this point; in washing blue put a handful of salt into the water ; green, a lump of alum ; gray or brown, a bit of oxgall ; tan or linen, hay water—pour boiling water over a handful of hay : reds and j)inks use vinegar.

BABY’S OWN TABLETS

CURE SUMMER COMPLAINT

Baby’s Own Tablets should be kept in every home where there are babies or young children. At no time of the year is baby in such danger as in summer. At the first sign of illness the Tablets should be given to the little one, for summer complaints come on so' quickly that unies* prompt aid is at hand baby may be beyond help in a few hours. The Tab- lets never fail to relieve the sick child, and if * occasionally given to the well child will keep him well. Mrs. Desire Martin, St. Denis, Que., writes : “I have a baby three months old who suffered from colic' and constipation. Castor oil w'as of no help at all, but Baby’s Own Tablets speedily cured him and now I always keep them in the house.” The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams^ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

EXCURSIONS TO WESTERN CANADA. The Grand Trunk Railway System

announce that on Tuesdays, June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, August Sand 22, September 5 and 19, 1911. Home- seekers’ Excursion» will be run from all stations in Ontario and Quebec to Western Canada, via Chicago and Du- luth or via Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, at reefuced roUnd trip

The well-known double track Une of the Grand Trunk from the East to Chicago appeals to the traveller, and with the superior train service that is offered by this line, including the famous “International Limité” from Montreal daily at 9.00 a.m., and -which is the finest and fastest train in Can- ada, many passengers will be attract- ed this way. The- route via Chicago is a most interesting one, taking passengers through the- principal citie» and towns in Canada and in the states of Michigan and Indiana. In addition to this a choice of seven lines between Chicago and St.. Paul and Minneapo- lis is offered.

Owing to the great number of Cana- dians who reside In Chicago, St.Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and other cities en route, there is no doubt that the Grand Trunk will find many patrons

. who will take advantage of the opportunity thus afforded them fos a brief visit at the stations with their friends.

Canadian citizens are exempt from so-called Immigration Examin-ation, and there is no detention at any point

Baggage is carried through the Unit .ed States in E>ond without requiring any special attention on the part of the passenger. Inspection is not necessary at any of the points at the Border.

Another feature thiat will appeal to the homeseeker is the comfortable transfer at points like Chicago, St. Paul and Duluth into freshly ventilated clean cars, avoiding ihe necessity of travelling a- long distance- in the same car.

In addition- to the above ‘routes, the [ sale of tickets is also auth-caized via i Sarnia, and the Northern Navigation Company’s magnificent steamers across Lake Huron and liake Super- ior.

For further particulars apply to any agent of the Grand Trunk Railway System, or write to Mr. J. Quinlan, District Passenger ,^gent, Bonavonture Station, Montreal, or Mr. A. E. Duff, District Passenger Agent, Union Sta-

THE NEWS ALEXANDRIA

The Ontario farmer of to-day prob*

ably knows little except from tradition

of the enormous benefits which agri-

culture derived from the reciprocity of 18.54-66. Since 1009 he has profited by the reduction of the American duty on cream, while the recent complain of the Canadian pork-packers that the Fielding agreement will strip them of hogs by making it more profitable for the Canadian hog-raiser to sell of the Americans, also affords tolerably good evidence that obstructions to commerce between the two countries are not in his interest.

Under the reciprocity of 1854 there was a tremendous boom in Canadian agriculture. Protectionists sUy this was due in part to the abnormal demand for Canadian products created by the American civil war ; which may bo true. On the other hand, the commercial depression ushered in by the panic of 1857, had a bad effect upon both countries ; added to which as early as 1860 dissatisfaction with the measure began to manifest itself in the States, in consequence of our having increased our duties on American factory goods, which was held, somewhat absurdly, to be a violation of the spirit of the treaty agreement, so that even then it was common talk that it would not be prolonged beyond the covenanted term.

Despite all this the expansion of commercial intercourse was truly remarkable. The gross trade (exports and imports) between C’anada and the States in 18.53 was 8*20,000,000, whereas bv 18.55 it had risen to 842,000,000. In ia59 to 848,000,000, in 1863 to S5.5,- 000,000, and in 1866, when the treaty came to an end, to “T know not where,” said George Brown in 1874, in discussing his abortive treaty, ^'in the history of commerce a par- allel of success to this can be found, if we keep in mind that one of the parties to the bargain had at the time but three million of inhabitants.”

Under the Fielding arrangement a considerable number of farm commo- dities will be admitted free into the States, the following being some of the more important. Appended is the present American duty :

Cattle, horses, mules, swine, sheep, lambs, and all other live animals. — Present duties on calves 82 per head; on other cattle from ?3.75 per head to 27^ per cent, ad valorem.

THE LDEIC or FACT The London Adveriiser furnishes the

following quotations and comments,

which show that tne reciprocity agree-

ment, judged by a standard that alone can be depended upon, is a good thing for the Canadian farmer. It shows how a Conservative farmer of Cara- doc, Middlesex county, had the party scales melted from his eyes by a slight contact with the logic of fact :

“James Peters has returned from Detroit, Mich., where he spent several days, getting data on the reciprocity question. He quotes the following prices for farm products there : Hay, 816 per ton ; potatoes, 81.25 per bag ; strawberries, 12 cents per quart, and not of as good a quality as MountCar- mel berries ; eggs, 22 cents a dozen ; cheese, 16 cents per pound, and butter, 25 cents per pound. He was as- tonished at the much higher prices paid there than at Windsor, and after thoroughly investigating the situation has come to the conclusion that reciprocity would be beneficial to the Can- adian farmer.”—$trathroy, Age.

Mr. .James Peters is one of the loading Conservatives of Caradoc Town- ship—in fact, a member of the Con- servative executive of West Middle- sex. Like many other Conservatives, especially ('onsorvative farmers, he recognizes the logic of facts and figures. The advantages of a free- American market stare the farmer in the face every time he opens his newspaper and compares tJanadian and American market quotations. There is not an intelligent ('anadian Conservative granger who does not heartily wish the reciprocity issue could be dissociat|>d from party politics.

THE RDVAl VISIT TO

On the occasion of the visit of their

Majesties, the King and (Jueen, to

Edinburgh, from July 17 to .July 21,

says The ‘ Scotsman, the Itoyal escort will be provided by a detachment of the 2nd Dragoons (Koval Scots Grey) The famous regiment, which has been selected for the honor of providing the escort of their Majesties in the capital of Scotlana, is stationed at York, and two squadrons (over 2(.M) men) will be sent to Edinburgh. The selection of the “(Vreys” for this hon- orable duty will be extremely grati- fying to the citizens of Edinburgh, among whom the regiment that proudly boasts itself “second to none” is extremely popu»ar. Another item in the arrangements for their Ma- jesties’ visit which will be highly appreciated by.^ the citizens is the decision to send a detachment of the 2nd Scots Guards to Edinburgh from London. The Guards will be represented by 278 men, including the full regimental band, twelve pipers, and drummers. The Guards have received the distinction of providing the guards of honor for their Majesties and the -oO men who are to be sent north for this purpose will be pick- ed men.

One of the chief of those who started

the campaign against reciprocity with

the disloyalty tag attached to it has

got .so sick of the consequences that

he says he never wants to hear the

word ‘disloyalty’ again. He wants to

take it all back, but he still persists

in declaring ’that reciprocity means— eventually—annexation; and he grieves daily and much that the good loyal advocates of reciprocity—as he can now see they all are—should be so simple and so deceived. And it really would be rather pathetic — would it not ? — if it were so. We however, would apply to all such Canadians the words of a New York contemporary : 'Among all the efforts made by oppon 'euts of reciprocity in Congress to 'prevent a fair commercial agreement between the United States and Can- ada, the most disreputable and un- patriotic lies in the thteat of annexation ! What is it, in essence, this ‘threat ! It is an appeal on one side ‘of the line to the lust of conquest: and on the other to the fear of ab- sorption and the loss of national iden- ‘tity.’ The New York World wisely says this :

W^ho are we that we should under- take to govern'Canada before we have learned to govern ourselves ?

Before wo talk of further annexation let US'' first purge government of the corruption that is eating its way into the heart of American institutions.f.et us rid politics of its Lorimers and its Murphys. Let us ciirb the sinister power of wealth that defies law. Let us free ourselves from the tyrannj' of exorbitant prices. Let us strajagle race prejudice and establish a government of the people, by the people and for the people in fact as well as in theory.

To add province to province, state to state, continent to continent, until the unwieldly mass is crushed under its own weight—this is the madness of kings and the suicide of empires. The danger-signal is painted with blood and fire in history, in the graveyard of nations where every tomb bears the record of some insane ambition.

There is no prospect of annexation.

The World affirms that there is no real sentiment on either side of the border in favor of annexation, and we are certain that there is no such sentiment on this side, in spite of the allegation of a few or those who are so clever that, untike Samuel Weller, junior, they have eyes like a million microscopes, can see through double doors and corkscrew staircases, and have so much imagination that they can give themse>ves cold shivers through fear of the unimaginable. The United States politicians who have raised this isSU'e are no more sincere than the Canadian politicians wtio are echoing their words—but even the idle discussion of it is mischievous. ‘From an American polnf of view,’ pro-

nounce.s the World, ‘it is doubly mischievous. It awakens Canadian sus- picions. It makes-more difficult the ratification of the arbitration treaty with Great Britain. It creates resent-, ment throughout the British Empire. It arouses new distrust in the countries lying to the south of us on the Amoricaii continent. » it discredits American honesty and American good faith. Tt is an appeal to other peo- ples to believe that we are acting a lie. No intelligent American can hon- orably identify himself with such a cause.’ Are we simple in believing that the World, Mr., Taft and others of like thoughts represent by far the larger part of the intelligence of the United States ? We have been told so; but then we havé been told even worse things by amateur Machiavcllies and amateur .Jeremiahs. But these are often most disJappointed men, as time goes by, and things turn out for the best nstead of the worst, in spite of them.

It is a bad frame of mind, anyway, to believe the worst ot people and things. Iêtter believe the best, because the best often comes out of such believing. —Montreal Witness.

HD SECRETS FROM MDTHER

‘I'he moment a girl has a secret from

her mother, or ha» a friend of whom

her mother does not know, she is in

danger. A secret is not a good ,thing for a girl to have. The fewer secrets that lie irt the heai-»s of girls, the better. $ho who has none of her own, is best and happiest. In girlhood, hide nothing from your mother, do nothing that, if discovered by your father, would make you blush. Have no mysteries whatevei*. Tell those about you where you go and what ;ÿOu do. Those who have tne right to know,we mean, of course. The girl who frank- ly says to her mother : “I have been there. I met so and so. Such and such remarks were made, and this and that was done,” will be certain of re- ceiving good advice and sympathy. If all was right no fault will be found. If she should decide, out of great experience, that something was improper or unsuitabre, she will, if she is a good mother, kindly advise against its repetition. Tt is when mothers discover that their girls are hiding things from them, that they rebuke and scold. Innocent faults are always pardoned by a kinct parent. You may. not yet know, girls, just what is light and just what is wrong. You camot be blamed for making little mistakes; but you will not be likely to do anything very wrong if, from the first, you have no secrets from your mother, —Selected.

The capacity of the Cocksbutt Plow Works at Brantford is being doubled. The company does not seem to be much frightened by the prospect of reciprocity.

Montreal, July 7.— Although the

temperature throughout this Province

was in the nineties during the past

week it was not any hotter than the

political situation. Every indicatioa

points to one of the warmest and.

most bitter light» In the history of

politics in this Province. The Na- tionalists and a section of the Con- servatives ha\-e allied their forces in • a desperate attempt to oust Sir Wil- frid Laurier from power, and are • holding meetings everywhere through- - out the Province. In addition, some of the old-time Conservatives, under the leadership of Mr. C. J. Doherty, of Montreal, are running a campaign on their own account. Mr. Monk, the supposed leader of the Quebec Conservatives, has allied hims^f with., Mr. Bourassa, and the two are cam- - paigning for all they are worth.

MR. T.EMIEIIX’S EFFECTIVE CAM-- PAIGlSr.

Mr. Bourassa has, however, more

than met his match in Hon. Rodolphe

.emieux, who has taken charge of

the campaign for the Liberals. Mr.

Tvemieux has gone after Mr. Boor-

assa without gloves and is giving him

a taste of the medicine which he is so •

fond of handing out to others. He has charged Mr. bourassa with being a disgruntled politician, having sought Cabinet recognition from. Sir Wilfrid’ Laurier, then, when disappointed in this, endeavoring to be appointed De- puty Speaker, and finally endeavoring: to have himself appointed Postmaster of Montreal. Because he failed to secure any of these appointments he^- has turned against r?lr Wilfrid and his- party. Mr. Lemieux has hinted that there are other revelations to be made- very shortly, which will still further shoW what type ol a man Mr. Bour- assa really is. Mr. Lemieux has- challanged Mr. Bourassa to contest with him any constituency in the Pro- vince of Quebec, but the Nationalist leader has taken good care not to accept the challange. It is expected that Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s return, and the demonstration which is to be accorded him both In Quebec and \TL\ Montreal, will' stimulate interest in ^ the forthcoming contest. The session of . Parliament may somewhat . interfere with the meetings, but there is no doubt but that the interest will be maintained and the fight renewed, with increased, vigor at the first opportunity. While the leaders are con- - fident of victory, they are not belit- tling the desperate effort of Mr^,. Bourassa and his associates..

'Hie Pioneer, the official organ of the

temperance people Jn Ontario, asks

how long the three-fifths clause will be^

tolerated in this province. It points

out that already the clause has done

mischief enough in that hundreds of

bar-rooms are sustained by law in op- -

position to public opinion and to the •

4egredation and destruction of char- -

acters and homes. It is all very w^H

to argue that the three-fifths require- ment helps to give permanency to local Option by-laws, although evotoi those who argue thus must admit that it merely prevents the enactment oP by-laws which might not be permanent . It never gives permanence to by-laws that would not have that permanence if it.did not exist. “The three-fifths majoi'ity requironient,” says The Pio- neer, “never gives us a three-fifths- vote. W‘e would have that three-fifths vote without it, in all the places iia which we now succeed. It never helps our work, but in many cases it sadly ■ hinders that work.”

Such are the existing conditions under this provision of Conservative leg- islation. But what can be done ? The Pioneer suggests a’ course of remedial action as follows :

“If temperance voters, recognizing:- their responsibilities, would definitely* say : ‘Our voting power is consecratecî to the support of righteousness and benevolence,. and to- the removal of what thwarts good and promotes evil.' and would carry tTiat declaration into the next provincial election, there would not be a member of the Legis- lature returned who would not be- ready to vote in favor of repealing a. law that is a disgr»ce to our province, the cause of ruin to many homes and the strong buttress that protects the selfish liquor traffic against the right, public opinion that seeks to restrala and control it.”

ITie three-fifths clause may have given a stability of the local option law which was not required, but there in was its only strength, and its utility is largely impaired by the fact that it is not needed ; this being the case, it is but reasonable to suppose- that its repeal will follow as soon as practice clearly establishes that the • theory of its supporters • is a false one, so far as its application to actual con.; ditions is concerned.

A Tiny Bottle.

What JB roffaxded by skilled artUm^ as the smaUest perlect glass bottle ever blown has just been turned out by Robert Gillespie, one of the blowera of the great Whitall-Tatem glass works in MilleviUe, New Jersey. The tiny bit of glass is not much larger than a k^nel ol corn, but is in every way perlect, inclu-ing a ground stopper. Gillespie was at infinite pains to produce the curiosity, whi<ffi, compared with a llO-gallon carboy, suoh as ia turned out at the same works, could be about like a fly against an ele- phant. Indeed, a common house-fly conid barely crowd into the Gillespie-^ boUle.

The prolonged dry weather and the tropical heat wave of the past two •weeks have resulted somewhat seriously to the spring crops.

Throughout Canada thé dry spell that has existed for weeks now, has been common and as a result one hardly .picks up a daily pap>er without reading of a disastrous fire resulting in the destruction of valuable property and in many instances the loss of life. Were the facts known there is little doubt the majority of these fires have been caused through carelessness, the dropping of a cigarette, only half consumed, the careless throwing away of a lighted match, have been suffi- cient cause of disastrous conflagra- tions. Persons therefore should during this extremely dry weather, when everything is parched almost to cinder, ■exercise the greatest care with a view ‘of avoiding &e.

Why is it- that the attendance at the military camps is so small this year ? One reason given is that the pay is too small, although it is a little higher than it was some years ago, when men flocked to the camps for a holiday. Now they have to be paid regular wages or they will not spend the time on what, after all, is not much of a holiday.

Bush fires are raging in the Porcup- ine district of North Ontario. South Porcupine, Cochrane and Pottsville arc said to have been wiped out, and an unknown number of persons are reported missing. Nothing can be done at present towards checking the flames as the white birch with which the country is covered bums up as soon as it is touched by a spark. The bark curls up and peals under the influence of the heat, and as no rain has fallen in that region for many days the situation is serious.

The House House will convene on the 18th inst., but if the Opposition put up a determined fight against the passing of the Reciprocity pact, dissolution will likely follow and a summer election will be the consequence.

Mr. Hilaire Lalonde*s commodious residence, on Lochiel St., now pres- ents a very bright and clean appearance, the exterior having recently been painted.

The continued dry weather will very materially affect the raspberry crop and the few baskets of that luscious fruit being brought to town already command fancy prices.

Councillor E. I. Tarlton, this week, shipped to his summer home at Raw- don, Que., the pony and outfit which we feel sure upon arrival will receive 'a very warm welcome.

The evenings being so close, the quo great attraction nightly now appears to be Sager’s merry-go-round, which is located south of the standpipe in the centre grove. Old and young par- ticipate in the rides which aife pronounced most refreshing.

The 59th representatives on the Cor- onation Contingent reached their res- pective homes on Tuesday of this week none the worse for their outing. They speak glowingly of the treatment received at the hands of the Britishers and declare the trip to have been one of a lifetime.

'^^Refei _..’erence was made in these columns last week as to the scarcity of water, and that it might be, if the dry weather continued much longer, that the town of Alexandria would have to face a water famine. The question received serious consideration at Monday evening’s council meeting, and it was finally decided for the time being to cease supplying the G.T.R. company and to Insist upon the discontinuance of lawn service, or in any way wast- ing water diiring the present emergency. Chief of Police has been instructed to immediately issue sum- monses against all persons so offend- ing.

William Shaw, the Carp druggist, who was accidentally shot on Dom- inion Day in the episode that occurred at Bridge End, and subsequently

^ taken to the Cornwall General Hosp- ital for treatment, passed away cn Friday afternoon. As we go to press an inquest is being held at Cornwall. The death of Shaw is much lamented, particularly by those primarily interested, and warmest sympathy goes out to the relatives of the unfortunate young man.

We understand Mr. J. F. Sauve, the proprietor of Wonderland, consulting the comfort of his numerous patrons, has decided during the summer months, particularly the hot weather, to give entertainments every alternate night. His house was dark on Wednes day evening,, but it will be open to the public until ftirther notice, every Tues- day, Thursday and Saturday evening with an entire change of programme in each case. The growing popularity of this house is des^ved as the management is doing everything possible to meet with the wishes and tastes of his numerous patron.*».

• • ♦ Granolithic walks are this week be-

ing laid up to the residence of Mrs. R McMillan, Kenyon St. east and in front of Messrs. P. A. and J. A. C. Huot’s residences on Bishop St. east.

At the regular bi-monthly meeting of our city fathers/held in the TownHall Monday evening, accounts aggregating some $840, after consideration, were ordered to be paid. TSie petition of Leo Marcoux and others aA;ing that a granolithic walk be installed on the south side of Tjochiel St. was referred to the clerk who will report thereon at the next meeting. Recognizing the gravity of the town’s position as to water supply, not merely for domestic use but for fire protection, the ;lerk, was instructed, upon motion, to advise the G.T.R. company that after Wednesday, the 11th inst., the water supply would be cut off .intil such time as the town would be in a oosicion to resume the contract. It was also decided that users of water be notified that the watering of lawns and the promiscuous use of water, be discontinued, otherwise prosecution will follow. It was decided to have Captain Magwood, C.E., come here with h>ast possible delay to consult with the Board regarding securing of water from some other source than that at present in use and to report thereon, after which the council adjourned.

BEGUM IN ENGLAND.

v*vv***vvvvvvvvv%*v***vvvvv***

Bring the Little Ones SAGER’S J

Indian Princess Visited Coronatian t# Pay Homage.

One of the most interesting women in the world is in England at present, wtere she visited the coronation. She is the Begum of Bhopal, also styled th3 Sultan of Shah Jehan, an aged tiny native princess of India, who haa left her realm for the second time in ber life to pay homage to the King of England, who as Emperor of India i3 h-er Suzerain.

After arriving in London she waa ordered to Nauheim, Germany, for the cure, but, becoming dissatisfied, she was about to return to England when her doctor firmly inform^ her she must submit herself to the regimen he prescribed if she desired to be cured.

Neuther, the Begum’s astrologer, was taken aside by the physicien in London and warned that if she did not submit to the cure she .might drop off any day. The a-strologer threw hia influence on the side of the German physician, and the Begum reluctantly consented to remain and obey.

In India her Highness is one of the potentates, for she is sovereign

over a million people, and the area of her domain extends 7,000 square ttHea: i

Her Highness has the unique distinction of being the only woman ruler in tfee world to command and ride

the head of her own troops in action. She did this ten years ago, soon after her accession, when she waa melrlTig a pilgrimage to Mecca, the flrat time she had ever left her country. Although the journey was of a religious character, the B?gum was accompanied by a bodyguard of nearly a thousand men. In crossing a desert they were fiercely attacked by strong bands of mounted Arabs. The Begum, then fifty years of age, at on-ce mounted a horse and the desert was treated to the sight of a woman, with veil drawn tight about her.face — which bad never been gazed upon by man— but with eyes blazing through peep- holes in the mask, leading a victorious charge againet tlie enemy.

King George has taken the keenest Interest in the Begum’s work among her people, and in consequence she is Sie only woman in the British Em- pire to wear an. order of knighthood, having been decorated with the order of Grand ^mmander of the Star of India.

The peculiar fact that the crown of Bhopal passes from mother to daughter inst^d of from father to son—the ruler’s husband being called a Nawab, a male title she also bears herself— may account for the Begum’s successful Innovations at home. At any rate woman suffrage advocates might well cHe ber as an example of woman’s

Here are some of the things she has brought about in her portion of “un- enli^tened India” : State railways throughout the length and breadth of ber domain, police in every communi-

hospitals in all the large cities, eohools in every village. The hospl- tftls only use native medicines, which are a part of the religious belief, but tn the City of Bhopal, the capital, there are institutions where the sick are h^gienically cared for.

In addition to affairs of state ber Highness has foiind time to an excellent knowledge of Englism and other langua^s and to become a real arüst in oils and water color.

On arriving in England the Beg|^ eaiablished herself at the beautiful asiate of Patteson Court, Redhill, Surrey, which has leased for the season. The next day she had a private audience with King George and Queen Mary in Buckingham Palace.

^Vhfle the Beram is in England her obsânce of the purdah, or veiling

the face, is as strict as in her own country, and as one of the royal guests at the coronation she had a special goaid to prevent the scrutiny of all men.

In Memory of Edward VII. One of the first of the Aberdeen

memorials to the late King Edward is that about to be erected within the pounds at Balmoral—the gift of the tenants and servants on the royal estates on Deeside. It is a combina- tion of drinking fountain and granite seats. The centre portion consists of a large drinking basin, richly moulded and carved. Over the basin is a fine axed panel with an exquisitely carved shell, from which the water flows, and on the top of the panel are carved the imperial crown, the rose, thistle, and shamrock. The granite seats on either side of the fountain extend 15 feet, and are semi-circular, finishing at the ends with large moulded scrolls. Carved in high relief on the back of each seat are the royal monogram and the dates 1901 and 1910. The inscription reads: “To the memory of King Edward the Seventh, 1911. From the tenante and servants of Balmoral, Abergeldie, and Birkhail.”

Gladstone's Favorite. The announcement of the engage-

ment of Miss Dorothy Drew to Lieutenant Parish, one of Ix)rd Glad- stone’s A.D.C.’s, recalls the fact that Miss Drew was the favorite grand- child and companion of the late Mr. W. E. Gladstoae. She haS’ been the subject of many pretty stories, one being to the effect tharf she once non- plussed the G.O.M. on a Biblical subject. The famous statesman was trying to induce her to get up earlier. “Why don’t yon get up, my child?” he asked. “Why, grandpapa,” re- joined Miss Dorothy, ‘‘didn’t- you teU me to do what the Bible says?” “Yes, certainly,” said Mr. Glacfetone. The little girl then proudly opened he Bible at Psalm cxxvii, and read the second verse : “It is vain for you to rise early.”

Old Time Beer Trust. In the sixteenth century te.sters

were appointed in England whose duty it was “to test and assize the beer to see if it be fit for a man’s body.” One of the methods of test- ing ale was in spilliing some of it on ft wooden seat when the tester attired in leathern breeches, sat down thereon. If he adhered to his seat the beer was adulterated with »ae- eharine substances; if he oould rise without inoonvenience it wu DJI adulterated.—LondoP ÜftÎL
