Feb.16.\u2014(Special)\u2014At one o\u2019clock yesterday when last news of the fire was sent to the Record, things looked very serious for Farn-hara, as Suarette's block was then a mass of flames.The heat was so intense that twice tne store owned by Mr.L.Ed.Cuoquette uu the opposite side of the street ayi where the Hell Telephone exchange is situated, caught on fire but was put out by tnemen who kept a steady stream oi water o11 the building for two hours.The large plate glass windows of the store and all windows facing the front were broken by the heat.The windows of Mr.I.Adam, next door, met the same fate.Mr.Adam has a young daughter critically ill and it is feared the excitement of yesterday will prove fatal.Crowds kept surging around the burning'building and the firemen seeing the danger ordered the streets cleared and roped off the district surrounding the fire.While the flames were at their worst it was thought impossible to save the drug store and residence of Dr.A.Demers and in the general excitement the contents of house an.d drug store were cleared out into, the street.The place last evening presented a sorry appearance as furniture had been broken and stolen from the street.The contents of drug store seemed literally piled in heaps regardless of order and drugs, perfumes, sponges, brushes, etc., were rendered of small value in this confusion.The brick walls of Dr.Demers\u2019 block is badly scorched and the house smoked, hut as the wind carried the fiâmes away no water was turned on.WALLS FELL IN.Just as the crowds began to cheer at the arrival of the

LEGISLATURE SHOULD LEAVE QUESTION ALONE.Toronto, Feb.16.\u2014(Special) \u2014 Sir James Whitney, in the Legislature yesterday, stated his position and that of the Conservative party of the Province of Ontario, on the question of reciprocity.He reviewed the conferences leading up to the reciprocity agreement, and that President Taft was in a hole because his party had been defeated at the Congressional elections, and as his political opponents favored reciprocity with Canada he would have to rush the treaty through before the fourth of next month, or see his opponents reap the glory for its passage.OPPOSITION LEADER SPEAKS.Hon.A.G.Mackay, leader of the Opposition, spoke for nearly two hours, devoting about an hour to reciprocity.He said that, the statement that trade followed the flag was not to be taken seriously, and as a matter of fact was a fallacy.He maintained that the Legislature should confine itself to provincial subjects, and leave to the Dominion Government all subjects of direct interest to the Dominion as a whole.WILL NOT ACCEPT EXPLANATION Toronto, Feb.16.\u2014(Special) \u2014 The World refuses to accept the Canadian Press Washington despatch, attempting to explain Champ Clark\u2019s political union speech as a joke, and says it intends to hold Mr.Clark, President Taft and the Government at Ottawa to full responsibility for what the leading Democrat in the House of Representatives at Washington said on the great international issue.The paper adds that Mr.Clark may wish to escape the responsibility, and the President certainly is anxious to escape responsibility for what Mr.Clark said; but to Canadians what Mr.Clark said was the opinion of the House of Representatives.As the leading man in the House to-day and certain to be the leading.Representative in the new Congress, no such explanation can be allowed by Canadians.EOF MHOSPITAl.Figures Showing Cost of Various Departments TOTAL RECEIPTS LAST YEAR AMOUNTED TO

city becoming choked by anchor ice and sand.The district north of College street, which means two-thirds of the city\u2019s area, is without water, and the rest of the city has not enough for its needs.The reservoir furnishing an emergency supply for the north end was emptied about 8 o\u2019clock last night.Downtown the pressure varied from sixty pounds at 5 o\u2019clock to twenty pounds at 10 o\u2019clock, ami at the latter hour the civic officials practically lost hope of immediate relief.From all sections of the city where there was more or -ess water supply last year, came reports early this morning that the pressure was getting weaker.Property Commissioner Harris remained in his office in the City Hall all night organizing an em ergency service with water carts.The question as to how long you arc going to continue a sufferer from Indigestion, Dyspepsia or out-of-order Stomach is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking some Diapepsin.If your Stomach is lacking in digestive power, why not help the stomach to do its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach.People with weak Stomachs should take a

INTRODUCED.Teachers of deportment in London have now begun training debutantes for their presentation at the first court of the new King and Queen.Explaining what a debutante must know, a teacher of deportment, who has many young girls of the nobility under her Care told a visitor to her rooms that the ceremony as introduced by King Edward is very simple compared with that which was the custom at, the court of Queen Victoria.\"Fewer curtsies are necessary,\u2019\u2019 she or Sick Stomach, and, besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breath with nauseous odors.All these symptoms resulting from a sour, out-of-order stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved in five minutes after taking a little Diapepsin.Go to your druggist and get a 50-cent case of Pape\u2019s Diapepsin now, and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and what you eat will taste good, because your stomach and intestines will be clean and fresh, and you will know there are not going to lie any more bad nights and miserable days for you.They freshen you and make you feel like life is worth living.said.\"The kissing of the Sovereign\u2019s hand has been abolished, and the curtsies in this age of speed are not made so slowly.More attention must be given, however, to the modern girl\u2019s deportment, as she is not so graceful as she should be, for, owing to her devotion to hockey and other sports, she has little time to study grace.\u201d Then the debutante was put through the initial instruction of her deportment on the great occasion.First wearing a \u201cproperty\" train, she was taught to walk the length of the long room with a somewhat long step and graceful glide, scarcely removing the feet, from the floor.This method of movement is necessary, she was told when walking over polished floors, as the short, mincing step\u2014now in vogue as the result of the hobble skirt\u2014would be ridiculous in a full court dress.She was then shown how to hold her bouquet on a level with the waist line, and make her entrance into the antechamber, handing her card to the first official.This latter : !: \u2022 was told to do in the recognized English method, holding the card in her rigiit hand, which must be slightly elevated, with the position of the arm at a graceful angle.Next she was taken up to persons representing their Majesties, and1 was shown how to make her first curtsy before the King.The curtsy, as shown , was slow and graceful.Then she has to take two gliding sidesteps which brought her before t.he Queen, before whom she performed the second curtsy.She was then allowed to make her exit, the train being caught up from the floor, which, on the occasion of the presentation, is done with a gold stick, and which she.folds around her so as to be able to walk unhampered.W.R.BRADLEY & SON, Undertakers and Embalmers] The most up-to-date Hearse and Stock in the city.Satisfaction guaranteed.55 Frontenac St.,

\u201cMr.Taylor is now the energetic chairman of the Committee appointed by r.he National Association of Shorthand reporters for the Standardization of Reporting Shorthand.This movement was originated by me at the last convention of the National Association.The object of the Committee is to make the National Association a clearing house for the most advanced technical work of all the greatest shorthand reporters on the continent, some 3,000 in all.Monthly bulletins are issued through the official magazine of the Association \"The Shorthand Writer,\u201d of Chicago, containing the best short cuts of these expert reporters.The object of this Association is that the system invented by Isaac Pitman three-quarters of a century ago should be made the basis for uniformity among the various shorthand systems now in use.The so-called Pitmanic systems now number nearly a dozen, being offshoots by individual reporters from the original invention.The committee is composed of ten of the leading reporters in Canada and the United Htate.: \u201cBob\u201d Taylor is the leading spirit of the movement.He learned the Isaac Pitman system and adopted Graham\u2019s modifications, worked up the greatest speed and expert skill in reporting, and became famous as the official reporter for the United State-.Government in the Standard Oil Company and Union Pacific prosecutions.The relations between myself and Mr.Taylor are interesting.When Taylor was an errand boy in the James Smart Mfg.Co.at Brock-vilte, Mr.Gill, the manager, one day said to him, \u2018Bob, I\u2019m getting letters now-a-days on the typewriter and marked \u2018Dictated\u2019 showing that shorthand i:-.used.Do you think you could learn shorthand and help me in the same way?\u2019 The boy replied that he could and at once began the study.While he wa , struggling with the pot, hooks a Brock ville lawyer said to him : 'I sec you\u2019re learning shorthand.Bob.There's a shorthand reporter in Toronto named Bengough, I wish you could see, his notes ; they are as plain as print.\u2019 The young lad there and then determined to write ideal shorthand, and from that time became one of the most intelligent and persistent students of shorthand reporting on the continent.To use the phrase of another eminent reporter, Fred Ireland, of Washington, Taylor hsr.\u2018held an inquest on every work In the language.\u2019 \u201d Mr.Taylor, who is a cousin of Mr.J.E.Hmith, of this city, ia slsti, a lawyer, but lias given up his practice for reporting, PM-rou-m CMS H Five Minute Service to Start oni Monday.IN of NEW CARS ARE UP-TO-DATE EVERY PARTICULAR.The latest move along the lines a \"Greater Sherurooke\u201d is the troduction of pay-as-you-enter cars by the Sherbrooke Railway & Power t o.Two of these new cars have ar rived and were put in operation this morning for the first time.They are of exactly the same type as those in use in Montreal, aonly somewhat smaller.Starting on, Monday morning the five minute service will be introduced.Four cars will run on the belt running each way.They will DON'T BE SHOCKED by having an imperfect system of electricity in your house, ft Is a peculiar element to deal with, and only experts can handle it properly.We install systems of Electric Bells, witli Push Buttons, Electric Lighting, Motor Machinery, etc., and do everything in connection with Electrical Work.Our charges are reasonable a ml our work second to none in thoroughness and efficiency.\t-aamiil ELECTRICAL REPAIR § SUPPLY CO.W.J.WIGCETT, Prop.*******>******«'£>* OUR PK08C UP SÜLE -s«\t* 9* You'll understand, when you see the way we\u2019re clearing' our odd lines of Boots and Shoes, why our stock is always full of the newest styles, best models and most up-to-date lines.This semi-annual clearance of all broken lines and discontinued models gets everything out of the way for the beginning of each new season, when brand new goods will be shown.We re willing to take less for them now to accomplish the result.M.J.CHOQUETTE, 85 Wellington St.Opp, Clemen!

Office Supplies Stationary, etc., Call up 557.T.SOUTHWOOD 1 DufTerln Ave.Bell pho»« *77.t * t t t * » be constructed at some new strategic point, one or more Secret Service agents are instructed to obtain supplementary details concerning the plan of the new works, with the armament with which they will be supplied.Similar efforts are made in the ease of new battleships and other military preparations.All sorts of men are employed in operations of espionage; they include broken-down noblemen, bankrupt business men, professional workers who have lost their means of sustenance, retired civil service officials, and so forth.Women, too, are employed in very many cases where it is thought j that they can ferret out information I which would be less accessible to male * spies.The work of professional spies is j supplemented by special missions un- | dertaken by military and.naval officers, who obtain leave of absence for the purpose of getting important information on some subject of particular interest to their own Government.The employment of officers for such duties is often desirable owing to the utter unreliability of professional spies, many of whom are entirely devoid of technical knowledge and are thus badly equipped for the task of collecting useful information, while those of teem who have held commissions in some army or navy frequently utilize their own knowledge of military or naval subjects to invent stories which are quite untrue, but which serve to justify their existence.The Genuine Hoe! J Chisel Tooth ¦ Saw Makes better lumber and does more work in a given time than any other saw in use.DOG EAT DOG.Owing to the unconscious or deliberate unreliability of professional spies, it has frequently been necessary for intelligence departments to employ one set of secret service agents to watch those who actually engage in the work of espionage, a very costly method of procedure.Gases are also on record where spies, while serving their own Government, have at the same time betrayed their own country by simultaneously supplying secret information to another power.Some years ago it was found that the director of an Austrian railway had been betraying military secrets to the Russian Government, and his contributions to the knowledge collected in St.Petersburg regarding Austrian military affairs was considered so valuable that he went in and out of the Russian War Office as freely as if it were his own home.While doing so he exploited his opportunities to obtain information about Russian military plans, which he then sold to Austria.He carried on this double treachery for nearly five years before his operations were discovered, and he is now living luxuriously on the profits of his espionage in a third country.By way of verifying the work of professional spies, three or four different secret service agents are sometimes intrusted with the same task, while one or two more are ordered to watch them and check their results.It is a great mistake to suppose that a military power only practices espionage to obtain information about countries with which it expects to become involved in hostilities.Quite the contrary is the ease because every intelligence department collects information about the allies of its own country without considering the political situation or the probability of war, so that the fact that the spies of one country operating in the territory of another by no means indicates any unfriendly intentions.It is merely the duty of every intelligence department to be accurately informed regarding the naval and military resources of every possible future enemy, even if the possibility he very remote.\u2014Berlin Correspondence, London Express.Is equally adapted to cutting the | largest logs and edging the smallest I boards.Requires less power than a solid saw, and is far more economical to operate.Is so simple in construction that anij snwijer,however inexperienced, cart keep it in order, removing or inserting teeth in a few seconds.Always retains its diameter, and, after a new set of teeth is inserted, is in better condition than an expert sawyer can put a solid saw by any known method.It saves time, power and files, and is always ready for business.HOE SAWS ARE UNEXCELLED FOR FROZEN TIMBER.Co.Extra Hoe Bits and Shanks in large quantities constantly on hand the year round.Catalogues, prices and full information to interested parties on application.J1 Mitchell & Co.L\u2019ELITE Great January Sale Ladles, do not.mias this great opportunity.You can «et a beautiful Hat for next to nothing.Also an exceptional reduction In Hat Shapes, Beaver Kata and Trimmings.You will find a groat reduction on Neckwear of all description.All these goods mu»> be sold before February in order to make room for spring goods.A call will convince you that our prices are all right, and also, very tempting.Miu E.HUDON, 104 Wellington $».s and * I vmmsisr* Don't he Satisfied If your off some refuse it.grocer tries cheap bread pass you, Our Bread has become so popular because of its goodness and value that others try to pass off something \u201cJust as good.\u201d ft is extra profit they are after.Be on guard.ALLÂT?Tei.7j4.\tThe Baker « \u2022t » i « * 0 g 1 Com I.Btreut.ALSO, 1 House.MAN [arm.Apply to C.H., Box 33, St.Armand Station, Que.r A N TE D \u2014M A N rrO TAK Id CH AIU i E worsted winding' depart-menl.Baton Mamifaeturing Co., Slicr-b rooke.\\ \\ \"AN'TIdU A rF,\\BLE (HI iVV\tcook Apply Monti MISCELLAJSEOU®.Ur ANTED\u2014BY 1ST OF MAY, SIX-' room self contained house or tone* ment with bath, situated near Union Depot.South Ward preferred.Answer Box 711 Record.WANTED -

higher in Sherbrooke than anywhere -¦ v else.In his opinion the scale of ¦; g wages were also smaller than in oth-it er cities.MR.H.D.LAWRENCE.CHAIRMAN OF PROTESTANT SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS.Mr.Lawrence stated that there were four schools in the city under control of the Board of Protestant Commissioners.In the spring they proposed building another.There were no classes in domestic science or manual training.although it was felt that such classes would be of great advantage.The lack of funds was the only drawback, in his opinion the introduction of these classes would be the means of keeping students in school who now leave at fourteen.He also furnished the Commissioners with information as to school taxes, salaries paid, etc.OTHER EVIDENCE.Mr.Robert Wyatt, who is in charge of the Free Industrial Drawing School was asked by the Commission to forward them a statement of the situation.The brief examination of Mr.Stephen P.Smith of Bishop's College School completed the investigation.year on child bed.He pointed out that thousands of years ago Lord Lyster\u2019s ancestors lived in caves, and were but little above the animals.In his opinion there was no reason why in 500 years the people should not be as far ahead of what we are as what Lord Lyster is of his ancestors.We have better means of progressing than they had.The object of this Commission was to assist in the training of the children so such an improvement might be possible.Speaking of the various conditions the Commission had found during their investigations, Dr.Robertson said that there was a most hearty co-operation between the Federal and Provincial Governments and Municipalities that argued well for future success.The growing recognition of partnership between Provinces was also noticeable.Each province was beginning to realize that it was dependent on certain other Provinces for certain things, and the relations between them were better.This same feeling was also growing between different interests.The farmer was beginning to see that he was dependent upon certain other bodies.They were beginning to see that they could not live apart.The investigation had also brought to light the fact that there was considerable discontent in connection with our present educational system.That the schools were not doing what was expected of them.The scholars were deficient in reading, writing and figuring, the very things the education was based on.The teachers in many cases were not capable.He had often kept principals on the stand waiting for them to make a grammatical statement.When he and others advocated manual training and nature study in the schools they were called faddists, who would add to an already too crowded curriculum.Dr.Robertson condemned the present system whereby an attempt was made to have the child learn what a man of fifty thinks is suitable.Let the child study things in their relation to other things.The child who works with blocks, etc., soon begins to count.In the opinion of Dr.Robertson the present form of education was wrong end to as far as the child was concerned.Another defect in the present system was the fact that because many boys were dull as far as books were concerned at fifteen they were called dunces.If these same boys were given an opportunity along other lines, such as manual labor, they might be more successful and take courage Many of the most cultured and clever men were dull at books.The Spy apple is not palatable in October but it is nevertheless a good apple later on.This was the illustration used by Dr.Robertson in this connection.In closing Dr.Robertson said that for 25 years the greatest botch had been made in elementary education since the time of Adam.The mistakes were being found now and a change would likely follow.At the close of Dr.Robertson's remarks he was tendered a hearty vote of thanks.?!
