that the German Government has planned to annex the Baltic provinces of Rusria was found in a German | official pamphlet marked \u201cstrictly I confidential\u2019 and found in a house : at Noyon aiter the German evacua-] tion of that place.Both German Government offic ais ana German newspapers recently have denied there was any such plan out tne discovery of the pamphlet is held as evidence to the contrary.The conclusions summed in the pamphlet are: \u201cThe culture of the Russian Baltic provinces is German and has been so ever since the first German colony migrated there.The culture of the Lithuanians and Esthonians is also German.The Baltic provinces are the most Gentian of all the Russian frontier territories.The Russian influence has manifested itself there only as an element of destruction and decomposition.It has remained purely superficial and has been maintained only by the presence of Russian officials.Should these disappear the Russian influence will go with them.\u201cThe country is almost entirely Protestant and the Lithuanians and Esthonians are Protestants exactly like the Germans.Only n feeble fraction besides the Russian officials follow the Greek Orthodox faith.This Greco-Orthodox fraction, whose conversion was effected by artifice and force has a tendency towards Protes-Guitism and would certainly embrace it if it possessed liberty of conscience.\u201cThe three provinces are a singular and unique field of civilization; they should form one unity.The three provinces form a geographic Unity.Being our immediate neighbors we could maintain ourselves there much more easily than in an oversea colony.\u201cThe country is thinly populated and thus offers considerable opportunities for immigration.It is almost exactly as extensive as Wurtem-burg and Bavaria together.Its excess of agricultural production is so considerable that it would make up for the deficit in the German agricultural products.The country possesses few railroads and all other communications are precarious.It thus offers a vast field of action to industry and technical sciences.The administration of the country presents no difficulty, the inhabitants having been for several centuries accustomed to govern themselves.\u201cOnly the annexation of the Baltic provinces would give us the mastery of the Baltic and its commerce.\" Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President of the United States, being interested in a bill for the establishment of civic reforms and community ventres in the publie schools, and finding that, unpleasant opposition to the measure was likely to ruin its prospects, she set out on a pilgrimage to the Capitol.She interviewed the opponents, and argued down their attacks in such a manner that the chief opponent withdrew his objections, and the Bill will become law.One Senator observed \u201cWe can stand up to the President at times, but when his daughter comes with her smiles instead of arguments, we have to succumb.\" Miss Powney and Miss Bulmer, of : Westmount, are guests of Miss Helen j CowTey.Among arrivals in town for the week-end were Messrs.H.Martin.IT.McCurdy, Misses Janie and Jessie Norris and 8.Wiggins, of Montreal.Mr.Ray Keep and Miss Mattie Keep spent the week-end at Mr.Beach\u2019s, Cowansville.Mrs.Gardiner Bradford entertained over forty ladies on Saturday afternoon in honor oi Miss Ball\" Pavne, whose marriage takes place to \u2018Mr.Walter Garnold on June 6.The guests came prepared to shower kitchen wares on the bride, and numerous and useful articles were piled in a huge basket, which was presented to the bride-elect as prize for the floral wedding contest.Miss Pavne gracefully acknowledged the gifts, after which dainty refreshments were served In- the hostess.Mrs.N.A.Meyer and little son snent the week-end at Sutton Junction with her sister, Mrs.Safford.Miss Ruby Rutherford, of Dnim-i nnondville, was the gnrst for a week j of Mrs.Gardiner Bradford, and Mr.I and Mrs.George Rutherford for the week-end.The Q.M.N.Guild wish to ae-knowledge with thanks $7 from Sunshine Club, nart proceeds of recent entertainment.Mr.Rdward Bradford has hem confined to his bed again for the past week.DOUBTED IT.\u201cAre you sure it was Miserly you saw ?\" \u201cPositive.We was so close I could lave touched him.\" \u201cI gue-s not.Miserly is so close the' no Lo'lv \"nn touch' him.\u201d W0Sl£fUfS AILMENTS Come from the Heart and Nerves Young girls budding into womanhood who suffer with pains and headaches, and whose face is pale and blood watery, will find Wilburn\u2019s ileait and Nerve Pills build them up.Women, between the ages of 40 and 50.who are nervous, subject to hot flushes, feeling of pins and needles, smothering feeling, shortness of breath, palpitation of the heart, etc., are tided over this trying time of their life by the use of this remedy, j Milburn\u2019s Heart and Nerve Pills : have a wonderful effect on a woman\u2019s | system, making pains and aches, vanish, bringing color to the pale cheek and sparkle to the eye.The old, worn out, tired out, lan-jguid feelings give place to strength and vitality, and life again seems like ;
