Thread.Turkey's Hope Revived by the Attitude of Roumania.Allies are Just as Determined to Have Adrianople Included in the Territory of Bulgaria.London, Jan.11.\u2014The pendulum of peace in the Balkans swings between the fall of Adrianople and action by the powers of Europe.Advice, suggestions, good offices, pressure and friendly offers\u2014all that diplomatic terminology has been able to invent\u2014 have been tried by the powers to bring the conflicting parties to terms over Adrianople, but the reluctance of Turkey to cede the \u201choly city\u201d is only surpassed by the determination of the allies to win their point to have it included in the territory of Bulgaria.Several so-called intermediate courses for solving the problem, by neither entirely separating Adrianople from Turkey nor entirely giving it to Bulgaria, have been refused by both sides.As an indication of the stand the allies have taken in the premises, one of the Bulgarians said to-day: \u201cAdrianople is the Alsace-Lorraine of our war.\u201d Turkey\u2019s hopes that she may be able to save Adrianople undoubtedly have been revived by the threatening attitude of Roumania.In this attitude Roumania is believed to be hacked by Austria, as otherwise she would not urge her claim so energetically against Bulgaria in contrast with the pacific position she had assumed a fortnight ago.The powers are awaiting the result of the representations to he made to the Constantinople Government by their, ambassadors in the Ottoman capital.Their note probably will be delivered next Monday to the Turkish Government.The ambassadorial conference met at the Foreign Office yesterday, hut the only information given out concerning the meeting was that it had arrived at no important decision and had been adjourned until Monday.The ambassadors would not confirm the reports that a naval demonstration had been planned as a last resort to bring pressure to bear upon Turkey.The threat of Turkey to withdraw her peace delegates early next week if the allies refuse a further compromise in their demands was discussed at yesterday\u2019s sitting of the ambassadors, but was not considered a serious one.The delegates of the allies have replied to Turkey with a counter threat that they will give all necessary notice ff a termination of the armistice now in effect in Southeastern Europe if the Turks leave the peace conference.ROUMANIAN SENDS ULTIMATUM.London, Jan.11.\u2014Roumanian practically delivered an ultimatum to Bulgaria yesterday by demanding the cession of Sillistria and the territory to the north of a line extending from there to Kavarra, on the Black Sea, according to a news agency despatch from Sofia.Roumania has decided to mobilize her army if she does not obtain within forty-eight hours satisfaction from Bulgaria, according to a despatch from Bucharest to the Temps.MANSONVILLE WILL BORROW» SUM Money Will be Used For Making Permanent Roads BOARD OF TRADE

imagination enough to see crew at work on the lighting plant\u2019s regeneration; presently, they will even be obliged to witness its actual departure.In tow of the wrecking tug, it will grow smaller and smaller on the face of the waters, until at last it will disappear over the horizon in the direction of the Estados Unidos del Norte, where every one has electric light, and the \u2018Osiris\u2019 will cease to occupy the subline position of a forerunner of civilization and become an humble ocean tramp.Again, it should be iterated, this is a true story.And let any contracting company that doubts the assertion send one of its cleverest young men to Ocos, Guatemala^-r/hich is about 180 miles from the terminus of the Tehuantepec Railway\u2014with instructions to see the Mayor and the Padre and every citizen in the place.There is nothing like promoting a habit to induce a belief in the necessity of luxuries.The incandescents of Ocos gleam lifeless; the reek of kerosene fills the streets at night.And Ocos mourns its descent from the proud position of a municipality boasting an electric light and power company to a mere huddle of huts behind a ramshackle wharf.NOT THE ONLY EXAMPLE.Although the story of the \u2018Osiris\u2019 stands alone for tragic interest, there are other instances on record of ships carried ashore and used for purposes foreign to the builders\u2019 intentions.Perhaps the most noted cast is that of the United States steam sloop-of-war \u2018Wateree,\u2019 which was washed ashore by a tidal wave at Arica, Chili, under circumstances almost identical to those attending the wrecking of the \u2018Osiris.\u2019 It was in August 1808., that the \u2018Wateree\u2019 and another American man-of-war were lying off Arica.A tremendous earthquake was succeeded by a tidal wage bigger than any other recorded in history, save perhaps, that which inundated Lisbon, and the \u2018Wateree,\u2019 carried on the crest of the great wave bigger than any other recorded and two miles to the north of the town, and deposited between two sand hills, while she was left by the receding waters practically unhurt.The other American vessel was smashed to flinders.It was soon seen that it was impossible to get the \u2018Wateree\u2019 off; it would have cost far more than the vessel was worth.So she was abandoned by the crew, and sold for old junk.But instead of breaking her up, her had what a Why Zam-Buk is Best Cine lor Gkin Sores K.H.any at as Zam- An illustration of the way in which Zam-Buk cures nveu the most serious and chronic cases of ulcers, eruptions and sores is provided by Mr.Barker, of Glcncatrn, Ont.He says \"I would not have believed that remedy could cure so ciuicwly, and Hie same time so effectively, J3uk cured me.\t.\t, \"My face became covered with a kind of rash, which itcheo and irritated.1 o rash then turned to sores, which dis charged freely and began to spread, first tried (,ne thing and then another, but nothing seemed to do me any good, and the eruption got worse and worse, until my face was just covered with mn- \"Apart Sfrom the pain (which was very bad), my face was such .that l was not tit to go out.I his was mv state when some one advised ir'y Zam-Buk.I.got a supply yell ou s as it may sound, u under a month every soro on my face was healed.1 was so amazed that l have told the facts to several Peisom, and I have no objection tn ymu stating my experience for the benefit of other '\"'zam-lVuk is purely herbal in composition ami is the ideal balm for bubies and young children for whose tender skin coarse ointments are w> danger ons.Zam-Buk is a sure cure, for cam sores, chapped hands, frost lll,p, poison, varicose sores, piles, scalp sores, ringworm, inflamed patches, babies eruptions and chapped places, cuts, burns, bruises ami skin injuries generally.All druggists and stores sell a' ,\tl,\u201e 1,1 x' or post free from Zam-Buk < 0 \u2022\t1\u2018.\"ff\"; to, upon receipt of price.Refuse harmful substitutes.terrible sight y as mo to and, mar-itliin little its guilet\u2014and then struggled more.To think of having a electric lighting plant! It was hardly to be believed.And every citizen of Ocos1 lauded over the citizens of the other village seaports along the Guatemalan coast, which could not boast such munificent luxury.To be anywhere in Ocos society it was necessary to be able to point to at least one eight-candlepower incandescent pendent from the roof of the living-room.The Mayor and Council even proceeded to have the principal streets lighted.Business hummed.The padre had the church wired.People came from far and near to admire.Ocos was by way of becoming one of the principal points of interest in all Guatemala, and it was rumored that the President contemplated paying a visit to such an enterprising community.JOY TURNED TO GRIEF.Then, behold, as joy and pride were at their height, what should happen, but a brief communication to the Ocos Electric Light and Power Company from the Kosmos Line of San-Francisco, stating that salvage operations would shortly be begun with an idea of betting the undamaged hull the \u2018Osiris\u2019 into deep water, so that she might resume her peregrinations along the Pacific Coast.Can you imagine the grief in Ocos?Can you conceive the misery of the Mayor, who sa.w his streets deprived of their growing decorations and emblems of progress.Can you conceive the misery of the padre, who beheld bis church bereft of one of its most striking ornaments?Can you even fancy the agony of soul of the citizens who anticipated their return to independence on keresone, with all the plebeian smelliness which it entailed?It has been almost to great a burden of disappointment for Ocos to bear.They have seen their source of illumination cut off, the salvage for (splendid chance he had to make real-real 'ly big money out of her as a curiosi- ty.So he fitted the \u2018Wateree\u2019 up as a hotel, cafe and restaurant, leaving her hull just as it was, however, and his quaint establishment soon became a recognized pilgrimage in the vicinity.Passengers on vessels sailing close along the Florida east coast have also noticed a tall four-masted schooner lying ashore among the sand hills, apparently as cheerily as if blue water gripped her keel, and have wondered what she could be doing there.Her fate was similar to the \u2018Wateree.\u2019 Driven over the reefs and high up on to the beach in a furious storm, she finally came to rest, with all spars standing, and the thrifty beachcombers of the locality put her to good use as a boardinghouse for summer visitors who like a touch of the unusual.There are many such craft, large and small, scattered along the world\u2019s coasts.Scarcely a fishing village along the Atlantic coast is without one of two old vessels, whose sea-faring days are over, hauled high and dry ashore and put to use as homes of future generations of sailors.They give a touch to local scenery much' like that inspired by the old railroad cars that you will find utilized for similar purposes in occasional inland communities.Indeed, so fascinating is the idea of a wrecked ship that several years ago an ingenious showman of Coney Island, looking for a new way to charm the dollars of the curious, had an old tub hauled ashore on the beach one dark night, and in the morning spread wide the announcement that this victim of a \u2018horrible disaster had been purchased by him, and henceforth would be used as a restaurant and museum, admission 25 cents, etc.\u2019 And for years people, most people, anyhow, thought the ship had been wrecked.HOW TO TELL HORSES\u2019 AGES DEALERS AND EXPERTS ARE DIVIDED OVER THE TEETH TEST.(New York Herald) Not since the Herald, several years ago, proposed the query \u201cWho ever saw a white foal?\u201d have local horsemen been more interested in a question of practical horsemanship than they are just now over the ruling of the Board of Review of the National Trotting Association in the Anna Ax-Me case.In this case the winner of a futurity race for three-year-old pacers were protested as being older than the conditions allowed, and wlie.j two veterinary surgeons were called in they examined the filly\u2019s mouth and pronouncing her a four-year-old.Notwithstanding this expert opinion, the Board of Review decided that she was three years old and no more, and ordered her winnings of $7,000 distributed accordingly.When asked whether in their opinion the decision of the turf tribunal was right, several expert horsemen seen yesterday were inclined to differ with the Members of the Board of Review.\u201cI think that I could tell the age of any horse up to eight years or older by looking at the mouth,\u201d said F.J.Costello, manager of Best & Co\u2019s delivery service and starter of the trotters at the Speedway matinees.\u201cI believe any experienced veterinary surgeon or horseman can do the same.As for myself, I am so sure that I would not hesitate to buy a horse to be a three-year-old without any other evidence of age than I could find in his mouth.\u201d W.C.Bain, who \u201caged\u201d horses for the British army in South Africa during the Boer War, declared that he would feel perfectly confident of his ability to distinguish a three-year-old from a four-year-old except in very-rare cases.\u201cIf a young horse has run on the range for any length of time he might fool you,\u201d Mr.Bain said, \u201cbecause his teeth wear down faster under such conditions, and a three-year-old mis-ht possibly look like a four-year-old.\u201d-\tV J.Campbell Thompson, who has owned hundreds of harness horses, and who is a lawyer as well as a horse man, declared that the Board of Review made a proper decision in the Anna Ax-Me case.'\u201cIt was expert opinion against direct evidence,\" ha said, \u201cand the latter was the better evidence.No man\u2019s opinion is infallible as to the age of a horse.I have a ten-year-old registered hackney now in my stable that shows a perfect six-year-old mouth.The horse has never been tampered with, and I have owned him since

ports after a strenuous six months\u2019 fight with whales and walruses in the Arctic Circle.Anxiety has been felt for more than one Dundee whaler this season, for it is known that unusually severe conditions have prevailed in the Far North and the whalers have come in contact with icebergs at a lower latitude than has been experienced for some years.\u201cThis has been a rough season,\u201d stated the mate of a whaler who returned to the Scottish port a few days ago.We went up the coast of Greenland to Baffin\u2019s Bay, and passed Cumberland Gulf, where they say the Dundee ketch Séduisante went down.It was towards the end of June that we sighted our first whale, but this was lost to' us, being crushed between two icebergs.We had chased him for several miles in the small boat, and were wondering where he had got to, when we saw him spouting a few hundred yards off.As we pulled towards him he disappeared, hut tame into view again as the waves rose and fell, showing bis black back like a rock in the sea.We reckoned that lie was about 80 ft.or 00 ft.long.The harpooner got ready as we slid near him, ami he was fixed with a good stroke.After that there was work to do.For nearly an hour that boatload of men were fighting for their lives, and would have lost them at the last had it not been for the harpooner, who cut the rope attached to the harpoon in time.Not far from where the whale had been sighted were two Icebergs, and for days the ship had been threading its way among these white ghosts of the Arctic.When the whale had somewhat exhausted itself and ceased to lash the water into foam the cord attached to the hai poon was pulled in little by little and rolled up.In a few moments the enormous animal appeared on the surface again not far from the boat, and the whalers were preparing for the last act in the drama when suddenly the whale glided off again, making straight for between the was being KAISER HAS HELPED NATION ASSERTION MADE THAT GERMAN EMPEROR WOULD HAVE MADE GOOD BUSINESS MAN.Those who have come under the spell of the German Emperor\u2019s personality declare him to he the most delightful of companions, says a writer in Scribner\u2019s.What Germany has grown to he under his reign of twenty-five years all the world knows, all the world envies, some of the world fears; what his own people think of him can best be expressed by the statement that his supremacy was never more assured than to-day.1 agree that no one man can be credited with the astonishing expansion ol Germany in all directions in the last thirty years; but so interwoven are the advice and influence, the ambition and plans of the German Emperor with the progress of the German people that this one personality shares his country\u2019s successes as no single individual in any other country can be said to do.Whether he likes Americans or not one can hardly know.No doubt he has made many of them think so; and, alas, we suffered from a national hallucination that wc are liked abroad, when as a matter of fact we are no more liked than others, and in cultured centres we are in addition laughed at by the careless and sneered at by the sour.That the Kaiser is liked by Americans both by those who have met him and by those who have not, is, I think, indisputable.He is of the stuff that would have made a first rate American.He would have been a sovereign there as he is a sovereign here.He would have enjoyed the fine, free field of endeavor, and he would ave jousted with the best of us in our tournament of life, which has trained as many knights sans peur et sans reproche as any country in the world.I believe in a man who takes what he thinks belongs to him, and holds it against the world; in the man who so loves life that he keeps a hearty appetite for it and takes long draughts of it; who is ever ready to come back smiling for another round with the world, no matter how hard he The Advantages of Drinking COCOA The Cocoa of High

Every jar which shivers the Liberal cart jolting forward toward a general election, raises in the breasts of the opposition hopes of the immediate amendment of the fiscal system.It was really Mr.Balfour\u2019s unwillingness, perhaps it would be fairer to say his mental inability, to appreciate the arguements of that wing of the T, nionist party known as the \u201d whole hoggers,\u201d which caused the rift between him and them, that ended in bis retirement from the leadership.The free trade wing of the Unionist party has shrunk to very modest dimensions, but it includes in its ranks some of the most thoughtful members of the opposition, such as the Cecils, in the House, an/1 St.Loe 81 cache y, in the press.To these | men, the attitude of the \u201cwhole hog-:gers\u201d is the one thing which stands ; between the party and victory.It !may, therefore,, be imagined with what feeling they have heard the | recent utterances of Bonar Law.] The leader of the opposition has always been one of the tariff reform stalwarts.To him.Balfour\u2019s undertaking not to put tariff reform into practise without an appeal to the nation, even if the Unionists gained a victory at the polls, was bowing In the house of Rimmon.He bas b r allowed it to he inferred that if he became ruler '4 the Unionist hosts' the Balfourian formula would he set.aside.Now that, in the retreat of the prime minister before the organized violence of his opponents, he sees what he takes for daybreak In the f clouds of opposition, he nails the protectionist flag to the mast, and an- nounces that if the Unionists are successful at, the polls, tariff reform will follow, post hoc, ergo propter hoc.It must be admitted that the position is a somewnat difficult >.ne.tested on the touchstone of mere politics.To the free trade wing, « policy of tariff reform is bound to end.no matter how it m.iv begin, 4d iiins-trating the famous saying of Disraeli, that protection was not only dead but damned.In their eyes the government has committed so many mistakes that, had -t rot been ' r the country\u2019s fear cf tariff reform, a Unionist victory might have been achieved long ago.Now, at the moment when they believe the country has been irritated t>y the insurance act, and frightened by the possibilities of the home rule bill, they see their leaders cutting away the referendum, and the party ship* staggering out to sea, with every protectionist sail set.The tariff reformers, on the other hand, ask what is to occur if they drop by the wayside the ark of the covenant they have been carrying so laboriously through the desert of opposition, ever since the general election of 1906.How, they demand, are they to go to the country with no constructive policy whatever?It must be admitted that not the least of the ministerial assets is the difficulties of the opposition.ancestors of the Indian became con | siderably modified through residence j in America, and that after a long peribd there was a counter-migration : an average good trick with a slate , I in advance but they are only a sort ù c remote period.It is held that th?¦ is rather unusual, however,.-\t- to have a trick which is far too good °f refresher to the members ot for one individual member of the audience.I recall such a trick.It was from America to Asia.This refluent wave of migration is believed to have had an important influence in \u201cAmericanizing\u201d a large section of northeastern Asia.In this view the American Indian and the Mongolian races of Eastern Asia, including the Chinese and the Japanese, would appear to be closely related.The casual inspector will probably feel that the relationship finds expression in a similarity of facial contour of eyes and hair, and of complexion.It would appear, also, that there is a closer similarity in the mental traits of the Indian and the Mongolian than between either race and the white man.\t, This view of the origin of the Indian has high authority in its favor, but there are students who would derive the native American from quite another source.Professor Ameghino, the Argentinian paleontologist, for instance, believes that the Indian is descended from simian ancestors in southern South America.Professor G.Sregi, the Italian anthropoligist, is also somewhat disposed to favor this view.\u2014Hearst\u2019s Magazine.NER- WHENCE THE INDIAN.In a paper before the American Ah thropological Association Professor | zling that those in the Alexander F.Chamberlain discusses left without the slightest clew to its the origin of the Indian, and reaches solution.A trick of this kind never CONJURER MAKES WOMAN VOUS.Every conjurer knows that, in one sense, a trick may he too good, says a writer in the Strand.I mean a trick in which the problem is so puz-awdifince are and some numbered cards, and after I had performed it one night I was quite unconscious of the fact that the trick had been much too good for a woman in the audience.I discovered that fact two days afterward.A man called on me in the morning and asked if I gave lessons in conjuring.At that time I did, but now, when I am asked that,\u2019 1 direct the question to an old pupil of mine who understands my methods and is very patient ! The man seemed pleased that I taught conjuring.He asked for particulars about my fee, the time it would take to learn, and so on, and then finally stuttered out that he had been making all those enquiries on behalf of his wife.Then he took me into his confidence.He told me that his wife was delicate, and that she had been so puzzled by my slate trick which she had seen three evenings before, that she had not been able to sleep.She was suffering from \u201cnerves,\u201d and her husband felt sure that her health would he seriously injured if she did not know the secret of that trick; she could think of nothing else.I satisfied the woman\u2019s curiosity and in so doing earned the husband\u2019s gratitude._____\tthe girl\u2019s parents and friends.Her value is not continued in jewelry, but in \u201cpigs.\u201d A beautiful girl is worth many pigs, but it is not etiquette to say so.Thegirl\u2019s family, therefore, after the negotiations have been completed, makes a mock hostile raid on the boy\u2019s clan and secures the exact number of pigs required.The pigs being duly stolen, ceremonial dances follow. Bad Heart, its Cause and Cure MANY FIRMLY CONVINCED THEY ARE DYING OF HEART TROUBLE, HAVE OFTEN.THE STRONGEST HEARTS.Putnam's Corn Extractor Does Ease Your Corns Takes the sting right out\u2014cleans \u2019em right ofl without pain.Thousands say it's the surest thing to rid the feet of callouses.sore foot lumps or corns.Don't suffer\u2014that's foolish\u2014buy a 25c.bottle of Putnam's Painless Corn and Wart Extractor, it does the trick quickly and is invariably satisfactory.Sold by all druggists.Meeds Holes ia POTS, PANS, ¦ KETTLES Ac ; J Mends Granite, Tin, Jro\u201e_ Capper, Brees, Aluminum, etc.in two minutes with-cut any tools.Saves 1 ime and Money Any woman can mend the holes in her kitchen utensils.25c pet package nostnaid.enimth to nienJ 60 holes.AGENTS WANTED!

activity in the local market, and little or no enquiry from the outside sources.Holders, however, are firm on top grades, 30c being the lowest they will accept for round quantities, sales of several lots of over 100 packages being reported at 30c, and we hear of bids of 29Jc being turned down.In one instance, however, it is stated that 29fc was accepted, the purchaser stating that it was as choice a lot of fall creamery as it was possible to find on the market.Current receipts are running very irregular in quality, and are selling all the way from 25c to 28c as to grade, some lots showing up very poorly, being mottled and white in color, stably in flavor, and are W'orked off for wnat they will fetch.But as regards the linest quality of fall goods, buyers who are forced to replenish their supplies have to pay full prices, whilst holders wanting to sell tfould probably have to make slight concessions.The new Zealand butter offered on this market is said to he very fine

since this time last year.The number of lieutenants on the active list has diminished by over a hundred in this period, in spite of the fact .that great efforts have been made to bring forward junior o-fficers for promotion to the rank as rapidly as possible'.In his speech introducing the navy estimates in March last, Mr.Churchill referred to the shortage of officers and announced that it was \u201cnecessar,, for us to have more commissioned officers and to have them as soon us possible.\u201d Consequently the decision was taken to promote about a hundred men from warrant rank to that of lieutenant, with the prospect of rising to commander, or even, in exceptional cases, higher.This scheme of lower deck advancement may become ultimately a fixed part of our naval system, but it is now essentially only a temporary measure, designed to relieve the navy from a shortage that will in time be relieved by means of more numerous entries through the usual channels.Provision.has only been made for the promotion\u2018of a hundred men all told from the lower deck.The Admiralty has now decided upon another expedient for remedying the shortage.As was the case when a smiliar position arose (in consequence of the short-sightedness of the Gladstone administration) seventeen years ago, a number of officers will be invited to present themselves from the merchant service for entry into the royal navy.The actual number has not been decided on, hut the number entered in 1S35 was 100, to which, however, additions were made up to 1900.In the great majority of cases, of course, these officers1 belonged already to the Royal Naval Reserve, and so had a fair knowledge of service matters and routine.It is believed that in the present case it will be a sine quo non , of entry that the officer belongs to the Naval Reserve.It is as well to point out here that the Admiralty will be well advised to make the conditions of entry more definite and more generous than was the case in *1895.What is regarded universally as the unfair treatment meted out! to these officers is not by anv means forgotten in the merchant service and the Naval Reserve, and there will certainly be a difficulty in getting the best men unless it is definitely laid down (1) that they will not be formed into a list apart from other officers of the same rank; and (2) that they will stand equal chances of promotion, with officers entered through Osborne, according to their means., The main object of the Admiralty in entering officers from the merchant service is to provide the necessary complements for the ships which are next year to be transferred from the eighth to the sixth battle division.At' the present time the eight vessels concerned\u2014the Albion, Canopus, Glory, Goliah, Ocean, Vengeance, Triumph and Swiftsure\u2014have only seven lieutenants allotted to them all told.In the present state of fleet organization it would bo impossible t to complete these ships to full crews without calling out the reserves; but when they become the sixth battle squadron they will be on the same footing as the fifth, carrying 0n an average five lieutenants apiece, but with additional officers in the flagships\u2014a total of 45 in all.The service alone will, therefore, necessitate 38 lieutenants.The completion of 10 new destroyers before the end of 1913 all requiring at least two lientenants apiece, will raise the additional requirements of the service to well over 100.plies.No.2 are quoted at $1.25 to $1.30.Boiling peae are quoted at $2.-35 to $2.65 per bushel, as to

MARKET i HAY MARKET IS EASY.Montreal, January 11.\u2014The local hay market continues easy with very little change in the situation.Supplies of all grades are liberal, and it is difficult to make sales to the retail trade as they are already well stocked up, The export trade is verv light, although we hear that the bookings of freight for hay through the port of Boston has been heavy, most of which is for the Liverpool market.Late cables from England quote as follows: Liverpool 95c to 9~s 6d; London 92s 6d to 95s; Bristol 80s.Manchester 100s; Glasgow 90c to '100s ns to grade.We quote prices more or less nominal as follows: No.1 quality, $14.00 to $14.50; No.2 extra, $13.00 to $13.50; No.2 ordinary, $12.00; No.3 hay, $10.00 to $11.00; Clover, as to grade, $10.00 to $11.00.-«- A

razing the town of Ayoteingo, twenty-five miles from Mexico City, a body of rebels yesterday withstêod the attacks of two detachments of Federal reinforcements and practically annihilated the Government forces.The information was brought here last night by passengers arriving from that district, and although at first practically denied officially, it was later officially confirmed.Three other groups of reinforcements sent to the scene of fighting have not yet reported.The sacking of the town was admitted early by the Government officials, who attempted to minimize the incident by asserting that the rebels numbered only 180.Those who brought the story to the capital estimate that the rebels were between 500 and 1,000 strong.-\u2014 MUNICIPALITIES CARRY LOCAL OPTION OFFICIAL

the Townships sufficiently progressive to regard it favorably.A working centre, joined to individual interest, should make its realization possible.For this centre, however, and for the individual interest to force the idea to actuality, the\" pioneer monument movement has been waiting ever since, it originated.FROM SCOTLAND TO ONTARIO theatre business.This \u201cgood will\u201d Mr.Duncan established and maintained, to the public\u2019s, and his own, advantage.THe Human Fly The United States boasts a population of more than ninety-six millions of souls.Ninety-six millions !

picture of present day warfare be drawn than that which the real adventure of a Bulgarian air scout has depicted for the world\u2019s admiration ?Within the walls of the holy city of Adrianople were the besieged Turks, drawn up ready for march, to make a sortie on the besieging Bulgarians without.Suddenly above them appears that spying machine of the air, the aeroplane.Probably before they realize the presence of the air scout he has sent the message for which his Bulgarian comrades are waiting, and the well-laid plans of the Moslems within are frustrated.But before the scout can return in safety to his army the angry Turks, | of which infantry and cavalry were ready for action, turn their guns on the intruder.There is no chance for him.The machine and the man are doomed.And here marks time the twentieth century hero of the air.He turns his machine full on the Turkish cavalry, directs its course until nearly at its destination, then calmly blows out his brains and leaves the rest to fate.Fate shows him a grim justice.With the last spasmodic leap of his j machine, the air scout reaps down .several of the Turkish cavalry.He j has defeated their plans, defied their vengeance, and destroyed part of their ' force.We read of the \u201cbrave days of old,\u201d but such men as that Bulgarian air scout need not blush in the presence of ancient heroes.The recurrence of the malady from which the Duchess of Connaught suffered some months ago, and on this occasion of a slightly severe type has caused anxiety and concern.The unseasonable changes of the weather immediately before and following Christmas have occasioned much ill health and possibly contributed to the regretted illness of the Duchess.Her Royal Highness has been unfortunate In these attacks, and if of a nature new to her might cause her to conclude that the climate was not agreeable to her health.Canadians would be sorry if a climate at nearly all times so healthful should prove not satisfactory for so tried and hardy a traveller as the wife x>f the Governor-General Hopes for a speedy and full recovery will be held universally by the people of Canada, who have learned to admire

exceedingly good grounding in English spelling, writing and reading, and arithmetic.What is wrong ?Children, even of fifteen and sixteen years, attend these schools, and can they, save as exceptions, write letters with business neatness, speak correctly in their own language or read with appreciation of subject and text ?Where lies the fault ?ASCENDANCY OF THE SCOT SHOWN IN MONOPOLIZATION OF POLITICS.A curious sidelight afforded by the Cartwright memoirs is the description of Scotch ascendancy in Ontario politics in the old days.When Cartwright entered Parliament in 1863, the nominal Premier was Mr.Stanfield Macdonald, a Roman Catholic, a Scotchman, and a Liberal.The Ministry, according to the custom of that day, was called Macdonald-Dor-ion\u2014Dorion being the leader of the French-Canadian section of the party.George Brown is piquantly described as a very apt imitation of an old Roman institution, a tribune of the people, with power to veto any measure of which he did not happen to approve.The combination, therefore, consisted, of \u201ca Scotch Catholic Premier allied with a French Liberal of a rather free-thinking turn of mind, and both supported by a stubborn Presbyterian element, with whom they had probably very little sympathy except on one or two political questions, and to whom the very names of Catholic and free-thinking were an abomination.\u201d Ontario says Sir.Richard, was a regular Scotch settlement; its political leaders were Sir.John A.Macdonald, Stanfield Macdonald, George Brown, Alexander Campbell, J.H.Cameron, W.Mac-dougall, and representatives of every clan you could name.The Scotch settlers hardly read anything but Brown\u2019s paper, the Globe, and the Bible, and their whole political creed was practically derived from the former source.Cartwright also describes Macdonald as a Highlander with a strong tincture of Highland superstition.He hated Sir.Alexander Campbell, and seemed to have a grudge against the very name of Campbell.\u201cI have heard him speak more than once of the massacre of Glencoe as bitterly as if it had occurred within a generation, instead of two centuries ago, and quote the old Highland proverb, that the Campbells were always fair and false with great unction.EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW.Also he says that Sir John Macdonald had a superstition that the North West had always brought him ill-luck.His first serious check after Confederation arose from the Red River rebellion and the murder of Scott.These events lost him Ontario, which gave a big majority against him in the election of 1872.Goidwin Smith, whose views on many questions were very like those of Cartwright, described the Presbyterians in Canada as \u201ca thrifty, wise and pov,erful clan.\u201d Those who listened to some of the debates in the Presbyterian General Assembly were much struck by the political ability displayed by such leaders as the late Principal Caven.For many years the political battle in Upper Canada was a sort of duel between the Edinburgh Scotchman, Geo.Brown, and the Glasgow Scotchman, John A.Macdonald.In the old Parliament of Canada, just before the union, there was a government led by John A.Macdonald one day and - government led by John Sandfield Macdonald the next.After Confederation John A, Macdonald and Alexander Mackenzie were Prime Ministers of Canada, and another Scotchman, Sir.Oliver Mo-wat, held sway in Ontario for twenty-five years, Principal Grant of Queen's, though he never sat in Parliament, was a keen politician, and a brilliant exponent of Imperial ideas in times when Imperialism was not the popular creed that it is to-day.Principal Caven of Knox was also interested in politics, and was a powerful friend and wise counsellor of Oliver Mowat.The Scotchman has certainly left his ear mark on the history of Canada.Even to day the defenders of privilege and the friends of liberty are fighting over the career of that doughty champion of freedom, William Lyon Mackenzie.manager the salesman saw him impatiently tear it in half and throw it in the waste basket : the boy came out and told the caller that he could not see the chief.The salesman told the boy to
