this late day members were too fatigued to give proper consideration to the important questions these estimates rzised.NEW MILITIA POLICY.Before the militia estimates were 3 taken up in committee of supply the minister made a general statement of the lines upon which the Militia Council is working for the improvement of the Canadian forces.The estimates for militia expemditure for the present fiscal year, totalling about six millions, are $500, larger than for 1904-06.Sir Frederick Bor: den alluded to the responsibility the Canadian government had assumed in taking over the defence of Halifax and Kequimalt from the Imperial authorities.He announced his intention of summoning at an early date a confer ence ween provincial representatives and the Militia Council to agree upon a uniform system of instruction in military duties and rifle shooting for boys sttending echool.Sir Frederick threw out another suggestion that every young man in Canada before reaching the age of twenty-ome ve, shall be required either to att three annual militia trainings or to pick up ap equivalent knowl of military duties by attending one of the schools of inatrué- tion.Such & scheme would not cost much and would provide Canada with the very best kind of a force.The memorandum speaks of the desir ability of raising mounted corps in the Eastern Townships of Quebec and in New Brunswick for the protection of these frontiers.At least 2,300 officers and men will be required to man the forts at Halifax and Eequimalt.Aside from this service the work of Canada\u2019s permanent co wili be to instruet the militia in military duties.The Militia Council is impressed with organizing in connection with the Canadian forces the various \u2018departments\u2019 that would be needed in the event of men being called out for active service.Sime of these have already provided.Another that must be raised in the early future is what is known as a pay corps.Several large.English concerns are looking into the question of erecting works in this country for the manufacture of heavy guns, one is pre pared to ma the investment if the government will mise them a contract.An offer is also before the De patment for the ereefon in Ontario of & factory for the manufacture of explosives and ammunition.Sir erick\u2019s own opinion, he said, was that Canada {| should be pelf-contained in these matters.The Roms rifie factory in Quebes is at work on a contract to furnish from 15,000 to 20,000 rifies a the militia is possessed of 100,000 rides or more.The milite members of the Milith Council

goce up to the Nenate for the cousideration of that body.Befere the bill passed the leader of the Upposition expreased the opinion that the trading stamp people would devise some scheme to evade the present legislation.Mr.Morden thought bat either tbe present Dui went too far or else-it did not go tar enough 10 accomplish the object tbe Government has in view, because it stil left it possible for stamps to be re deemed by the person who issued them.The Premier answered that if the wading stamp peuple invented any new way ot duping the public it would them be time foe parliaments to make

Liberal member for St.James division, hlontreai, ntinued bis Pooch in support of the ing Stamp Bill.The resolutions of boards of trade and other commercial bodies clearly proved that these trading stamps are & nuisance to business men, and that their effect is to impose a re- etraint upon trade.In fact, the only opposition to the proposed islation Same from four or five men who were teaping à barvest vf gold out of this illegal and immoral tratie.These stam; were a sort of paper m that could be issued by the veriest sc rs, men absolutely devoid of capital.Their cir- ion, à ore, was a violation of the principle of sound currency.\u2018Lhese trading stamps first came into use about ten years ago in the United States, where they sre now forbidden enactments mn several of the States, bout five yesrs they found their way to Canada.easures had already been by the Legislatures of Ontario und Quebec to suppress the trafic.The validity of provincial statuts had been ques toned but the abolute rigbt of the Fed- oral parliament to deal with the ques tion was beyond dispute.The tendency of the sale af trading @tampe to certain merchants and their refusal to all others was to creates sn trageous momopoly.Their use was an incentive to dishonesty among merchants Because in the presence of modern com- Ne cher rie they would oi der to keep afloat.these MR.FITZPATRICK AMENDS THE BILL.The Minister of Justice observed that although the bill was framed to put an end to the use of trading it was not desired to interfere with forme vertising.government ai at stamping out the trafic by which stamps or coupons are issued with purchases by merchants, and redesm- ed elsewhere.It was certainly not desired, however, to interfere with the issue of labels by t ete, where these labels are to be leemed by the manufscturers themselves.That was & perfectly legitimate transaction.Mr.Fiupstrick ji an amendment to cover the peint he had just made.The question was raised whether the elause ought not to be further amended to make the same exception in the case \"| of the wholessler as in the case of the manufacturer, The Minister of Justice asked permission to postpone further consideration of the bill until he had a chance to cover this point, as well as to see whether it would not be better to fix a time for the coming into force of the present legislation.À great ma: of these stamps were now out and ps, therefore, it would be only fair to allow the people who had aocepted them an opportunity to redeem them.Mr.Gervais manifested open hostility te the proposed

WILFRID UPHOLDS THE GOVERNMENT BILL.Sir Wilfrid Laurier answered thal from the applause with which the present bill wae received on both aides ot the House it did not stand im need of dian commendation {rom the government.No doubt it was perfectly true that parliament could not undertake to protect human kind against all of its own follies.At the same time thers were abuses so glaring that parliament bad felt warranted in using ite authority, For instance, lotteries bad been forbidden, not in Cenada alone, but in many other countries.Instances bad been Drought to the

get the trading stamps that went with them, so that she could get a fancy lamp or rocker from the trading stamp store.Mr.A.E.Kemp, of Toronto, sized Mr.Gervaise point that these trading stamps were in reality a species of paper money.The liberty they enjoyed to earry on this tra was one that would not be allowed to other business concerns.Mr.Macpherson, of Vancouver, gave the House the story of the trading stamp business on the Pacific Coast, joune- ing them as blackmail.Not only purchasers alone, but storekespers too, were victimized.; The Minister of Justice obeerved in 6 sarcastie undertone,

first witnews, membership of this body is drawn from the independent telephons companies.He represented, therefore, sume five thousand telephone companies with something like two million telephone services.independent telephony in the American union had now reached a stage where the Bell Company was making overtures to the independent exchanges in Ohio to connect the lotter with tbe Bell\u2019s long distance lines.This was one evidence of the inroads that the independent exchanges were making on the Bell.The Hell's offer of long distance conuec- tions was a radical departure from the creed to which it had religiopsly adhered hitherto.\u2018The equipment of the independent companies was quite equal to that of the Bell lines which was borne out by the results of the service.His owa opinion was that the time had not yet ar rived for government ownership of tele- phomes and telegraphs, but in his july ment the nts should impose restrictions on franchises forbi con Peting companies to sell out to nne another.Mr.Tetu went on to say that where a local system with antiquated equipment wanted long distance connes- tions they should be compelled to their apparatus up to date, which oc: be done at a te charge.The witness declared that there were any number of cases where American farmers enjoyed telephone facilities on party lines for fifteen dollars a year.\u2018Lhere was no reason why farmers in a district like that around Ottawa should not bave telephones at that figure enjoying not only connection with one another on party lines of ten subscribers each, but connection with the city exchange as yell.In cities from five to twenty- ve thousand population companies could well afford to give & rate of thi hircy doi- lars for business and eighteen dollars for ||

packages and fruit packing for the home market and distant markets respectively.Mr.McNeill said there is an enormous loss every year in Canada on fruit, owing to neglect to pick in proper state of ripe: ness to suit the distance of tra: tion, farmers usually allowing the fruit to remain too long on the vine trees.Failure to cool the fruit on the farm and to ship in cold storage, and to smsort fruit in uniform si and put them in proper nackages, are also sources of loss to Canadian fruitgrowers.He declared thet Winni) merchants were refusing to take Canadian fruit, preferring the American,

+ ago Prof.Wisner made « an wit to raisi eT Ens erin Take rie, a although that plan bad not ie Muy wa ission, | accepted t felt that it would be fitting to ask Prof.Wisner to explain it.Prof.Wimer said the propoul te in- cresse tbe depth of water in Lake Erie originated in 1807, at « meeting of the International Waterways Amocia- tion, held st Toromto.Subsequently the report and plans referred to were prepared.As was well known, Lake Erie was a shallow lake, and the depth of ships made to-day was such that it was necessary to improve harbor entrances, and in some channels it had beca necessary to excavate to the bed of the lake itself.These excavations had be come badly deteriorated by storms silting them up, which was one of the main reasons why so much etudy bad bem given to improving the waterway by olding up the water surface, thereby increasing the depth.A comparison between the benetits to the Erie channel, and the cost of the scheme, showed clearly that if the damages likely fo dries from that plan pers not os it woul robably a good thing to bave it carried out.But it was die tinctly stated in the report that abeo- tutely nothing could be dgne except by consent of a commission representing both Canada and the United States, ai of any recom tion wers made it should come from an international commission.He believed there was not a man on the Commission who would not turn down this proposition as not being advisable if it were found to be in any way detrimental to waterways belonging either te Canada or the United Btates.At the time the was made

animal for « moment and he was under Matt.the impression that his mate had struck him a terrific blow when he was not lcoking.As there appeared to be no reason for this chastisement, he pro- eceded to retaliate by attacking the oth- or bear.About this time the guide took s shot at the asmuited animal, with the result that the brute was infuristed and imagined he had been struck with unde force by

the speech he was not permitted to deliver in Berlin.As 8 consequence of the advertising the German Government give him, the speech bas been reproduced in all the languages of Europe and resd by many thousands who otherwise would never Lave heamd \u2018There was nothing radical or incendiary in what M.Jaurés had to say, the oration being chiefly a fervid appeal to his Socialist brethren of Uer- many on behalf of pssce.He advocated co-operation between France «nd Uer many, and, though be strongly urged « Iriendly understanding, he made no attack on militarism, as is usual with Socialist orators.The only thing dis tasteful to the notions of the German government in his speech was that it ran oqunter to the ides of employing military force in the settlement of internationsl disputes.A \u2014 Submarine boats have not yet demonstrated that they are practioslly capable of the performances for which they are contrived.It was distinctly stated that vessels of this kind were employed by the Japanese during the battle in Teu land ¢Strait, and the Russians attributed some of their disasters to this mysterious cause, but there seems to be as yet no evidence that they were used with any effect.The terrible experience of the crew drowned in the submarine sunk at Tunis is a horror that will do much to discredit these craft in the estimation of naval men.A short time ago all the crew of a British submarine were drowned like rats im « trap near Plymouth breskwster.Alto gether the British have lost three submarines in practice manoeuvres with fatal results in each instance.It is impossible to imagine a more horrible fate than that of the French sailors in the submaring sunk at Tunis.They lived for fifty hours im their narrow prison came to their relief.An article by à Russian military eritic, a translation of which appears in the current number of the \u2018Journal of the United Service Institution,\u2019 contains some starthng figures of tbe Russian loss in men in the Manchunan campaign.As the article was written in defence of the Ministry of War the figures may be ac cepted as official, The total strength of the army, including tbe troops in Maa.churia at the bresking out of hostilities and sent there from that tune {ill the beginning of May last, was eight hundred thousand men.Uf that number, two hundred thousand are eet down as noncombatants \u2014 commissriat, srmy artif- hospital attendants, ete.General Linevi has now en army of three hundred thousand men, in round nus bers, in the fighting line.Thus, it appears that Russias bas lost since the beginning of the war the appalling nvm- ber of three hundred thousand men in killed, disabled and missing.Five whole army corps, numerically speaking, bave thus been wiped out and with them bave gone their proportion of horses, guns, arms, supplies and equipment.ther, this represents a loss that it is in possible to state in money values.The Russian writer maintains that a ministry hich was able to place an army «f eight thousand men in the field more than six thousand miles distant, by overland transport, with all necessaty supplies and equipment, cannot be blamed for the disasters and failure of the campaign.For these and the stupendous loses enumerated, he blames General Kuropatkin, whom he rates as an offi- ver capable, perhaps, to command & division, but wholly imcompetent for the position of supreme command.This attempt to make 2 scapegost of a gemeral who failed under conditions where it is more than likely success was impossible, will not be endorsed by foreign militar) critim.It is now quite evident tbat the immense army sent to Manchuria defective in several essential quali- dislike for the war in the incompetence of tbe officers, dis orders by subordinate generals, and fraudulent supplies were among guilty of burning down the whole harbor, THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS frent and punished \u2018hose who were o0s- victed with six weeks\u2019 imprisonment, of which two wers accounted as past.Along with this comes anther despetch trom boss Odessa saying that twenty-four of the rioters have been hanged in jails, and that seventeen others are awaiting the same fate publicly, when General lena.tieff arrives.\u2018These two wccounts flout each other, as do the two tribunals, which show, on the one hand, the people's view ot the crime, and om the other that of the Russian Government.it shows, also, what the peuple's judicial privileges are worth, The Government of Roumania wishes to exact immunity for the * Kniss Potemkin\u2019 mutinvers before giving them up, bui the Russian Government refuses.\u2014\u2014_ At the outset of the powce negotiations Japan has shown she us wide awake as to the conditions of the game she must play and the character of the player against whom she is pitted.There x reason to suspect that the claim of Ching to representation in the negotiations was prompted by Huss, whose position would certainly be improved by the presence of a third party.\"The ad mission of Chine would also bring into play all the instruments of international intrigues, as all the powers are inter ested in Chine and would try to play each its own game tbrough her i» the negotiations.By courteously but firmly refusing China's request Japan bes blocked this little game and the powers will not be able to insist on a readjustment of spheres of influence, as they probably would, were China admitted.From the first mention of peace Japan has insisted that the negotiations shall be conducted solely between herself and Russia.The wisdom and, indeed, the necessity of Japan maintaining this stand is apparent trom what happened after her war with China, when three powers, not parties to the war, conspired to deprive her of the fruits of her victory and hand them over to Russia.With Russia single-handed she can phy a square game.With China as a third hand and all the powers pulliag wires in the background, it would be what gamblers call cut-throat euchre, in which the two weakest would combine to beat the strongest.-\u2014 The ruiny season has set in at the seat of war, and it is assumed that operations will practically come to a standstill il as it is a slate of things to which they are far less used at home than the Japan- es.There is a despatch from Corea which seems to show that the stories ern end of Sakhalin, is now spoken of as at the north end of that island, which is about as long as Great Britain.Its objective is still naturally supposed to be Vladivostok, but an asssult upon that stronghold is probably further of than it would have been had the Corea army been where it was said to be, namely, bard upon the railway line between Via- divostok and sarbin.Meantime the task of subduing the remainder of Sak- balin Island is s sufficient one, and, with « view to landing on the mainlend at a later date, soundings are being deliberately taken by Japanese vessels at points slong the Russian const.\u2014 By the abrogation of the Concordat and tbe complete separation cf chusch and state, France has broken the lost link that bound her to the bre-rsvotu tionary past.Religion and politics have been divorced at last, with emarcinstidn for both.As the act of separation declares, the Republic ;ow assures libacty of conscience and guarantees the free exercise of religion, subject to the restrictions of public order.The deputho neither recognises, pays stipends to, ner subsidizes any denomination, but provides funds for colleges, hospitals and asylums.The public worship budget is abolished.It bas long been foresees that this would be the natural semult of the consolidation of France as a repub- Me.A state church survives loog with monarchical institutions.but bas no ne- tural affinity with a republic.Equality of all men before the law includes equality of all beliefs.It will not be long, before even the reactionaries will die- cover that religion flourishes best in freedom, and that the less power it derives the state the greater will be ite power with the people.\u2014 Mackensie , ex-Premier of and an Orsngeman, seconded by de Boucherville, ex-Premier of Quebes, and « Roman Catbolie high churchman, moved in the Senate the Bix from moral fr Alberts Autonomy Bills.It in presure- able that those gentlemen's objections to these bills were diametrically opposite to wach other, They only agreed in being both Conservative leaders and ia both opposing the bills, Members of the House of Commons are supposed to be often under temptation to spenk and act for Buncombe, as the saying is, that is, without any hope of affecting the matter in band, but with a view to votes in their own part of the country.Sena: tors, however, are not personally under any such temptation and one of these gentlemen is not supposed to he any longer at the beok of lis party machine.\u2018The unly conclusion that is open is that they think they have a combination between the Conservatives in the Senate and the Roman Catholic Liberals that will throw out the bill altogether and force the terrritories to remain such for an indefinite time to come.Nenator Mo- Millan, 3 Roman Uatholic.spoke 10 favor of this motion on the ground that the oman Catholics of the proposed provinces had been promised separate schools, and that there was nothing of the sort to be found in the bill.Senator (cx said he wished that Mr.McMillan had been leader of the Opposition in the Commons, as that speech made at the beginning of the debate would have let them all go home long ago.\u2014 Many obstacles, other than clearing torests, cutting through mountains and damming rivers, are confronting the engineers who have sent to Panama to begin the work of canal construction.A ship arrived at New Yark a few days ago with a number of passengers who had fled in terror from the Isthmus.Lheir description of the impediments raised by nature on that little strip of territory is appalling.Yellow fever, malaria, poisonous reptiles, huge bos constrictors, swarms of pustiferous insects, bafiie all \u2018efforts to penetrate the jungles through which the canal is projected.And now the chief engineer, Mr.Wallace, has resigned with the statement that he has found it impossible to carry on the work on account of the obstruo- tive red tape babits of the military ou- thorities.This has been followed by reports of disputes over plans, blunders, scandals, restrictions and delays, caused by contlict of inuuences, till the whole business seems involved in an inextricable muddie.\u2018The reputation of tne United States for efficiency and expedi- tien in prosecuting great undertakihgs has not been sustained by the manner in which this work has so far been com- ducted.It is humiliating to have to admit failure at the end of the first years work.France looks on and emiles.But the resignation of Mr.Wal lace will probably lead to & thorough overhauling of the plans and system of working and the adoption of better methods in carrying out an enterprise so great, and which needs above all things unity in organization and mansgement.\u2014\u2014\u2014 One of our commercial orators, addressing cer\u2018ain visiting enginsers, spoke bravely of Montreal as a city of half a million people.We are usually counted far within the truth, owing to the unfortunate fact that the most growing parts of the real city are muvicipally outside of it.But when we heard this quotation we could only look for a terrible slaughter at the hands of the census taker.The Lovell annual census, which has proved in past years to be, in a rough way, as trustworthy as any other, bas now come out.The city owes.n very great debt to the Mess.Lovell for thin annual service, whose value ie undoubted, and which ought, we think, to be requited in some way.We can at least wih them good profits out of their directory.This year\u2019s census shows s population within the city limite of 301,000, and outside of them of 84,000, in all, 385000.The increase of Montreal over last year is 12,000, of which 7,000 has been added to the lesser city and 5,000 to the suburbs.'Lhis 15 sn increase of 238 percent for the city and of 6.33 percent for the suburbe, à combined increase of 321 percent.\u2018Lhis growth, which is largely foreign, is much less than might hare been, had our civio government been more progressive.We ought at once to obtain the annezation of all tbe surromding municipalities.We ought to secure desirable open spaces as playgrounds wherever they are still obtainable.We ought to lay out » scheme of boulevards and parks in the outskirts, not on the sordid straight lines affected by property owners anxious to sell house lots as closely packed together as possible and with as little waste as possible for a highway, but in generous sweeps with plenty of room for tress and grass.Thess are only sam ples of what we ought to do, to begin to ribls days, end remembers ealy that old mouths\u2019 hoist for the Naskatohewas and; things then passed away, and that grade re ally since then all things have become new.base forgets the fearful birth pangs for joy in the great achievement.Ass celebration of the birth of liberty she bas never had as much ocosesicn to magnily it as she bas this year, s year in which the last remnants of corrupt militarism and of ecclesiastionl tutelage, and one may add the waves of socialinm, have alike smashed themselves against the firm rock of a well-established popular government.It is possible that France would have been ss far advanced to-day if she had not indulged in the orgies of the revolution, but, concerning that, it is vain to speculate.All peoples do not share our horror of that insensate out break.With all its warnings, it has been to the 1 usian radicals the very model they would fain imitate.When one recalls the wrath snd horror with which the doings of the revolutionists were regarded in England and the lurid light in which the English have never ceased to see Laem, one reads with interest of this French celebration being joined in by certain officers of the British fleet.Time has made it posible for a government representing the British gentry, then so scandalised, to be represented by members of that clams, in the celebration of the most siguificant event of the French revolution.The time has come when France is glad to welcome Englishmen to her national festival.\u2014\u2014_ Dr.Bprouls, grapd master of the Orangemen, spoke wisely when he said that we have too much flaunting of flags on foreign soil.Every Canadian who hangs out his own fag in the United States knows that he is inviting a riot, eo deadly and ingramed is the spite againat it of the United States people.Kven when town as a compliment, 1t seems $0 evoke the most ungovernable passions, as in the recent mee at Char lotte.The proper form of compliment to the Fourth of July celebration would probably have been to hang out the Stars and Stripes at the foremast and the red ensign at the peak.\u2018The latter was really all that was needed and could not have been omitted in any case.lo fact, a British vessel is expected to hoist her own colors at any port where there is a British consul.The act of the United Htates Government in the person of a customs officer named Bump, in ordering this flag down and refusing clearance papers till it was lowered, would, we should supposes, be apologised for by a self-respecting nation without waiting to be asked, and the British flag would be saluted where the insult was offersd.It is better, however, that Canadisns who bave to visit the United States should hang out as little red as may be convenient.As for the case of alleged flag-tearing that oo curred at an Orange parade at London, it is to be hoped that it will be duiy enquired into and ail the facte made public.from the lirst account of it we gathered thst the visitors had lost control of tbemselvss and had grown very offensive towards the country they were visiting, but it is just as likely to bave been the other way.There is, however, too much waving of foreign tiags and good taste wouid be abown by mod:- fying this custom.Ihre are people who follow the Chinese method and who, so {ar as possible, avoid those stores which display foreign flags to attract custom.I \u2014 We have become aware of a very dis creditable trick .practiced on our read- e1s by Mr, Norman Murray, who informe us that he was the writer of certain letters to the \u2018Witness,\u2019 signed N.McNeil, professing to be written by a Roman Catholic in defence of his faith.This case of fraud proves the need of the greatest care in identifying writers and rejecting such as are not fully authenticated.We may remark by the way that we have still one able letter, of which we have not been able to discover the origin.The inconsequence of the McNeil letters is accounted for by this confession.On the other hand their surreptitious entrance to our columns in no way detracts from the value of the able letters which they have drawn out on both sides of the discussion.We are at sll times anxious to use our correspondence columos for the aid of all who are honestly in pur suit of truth, and the humbler the truth socker the more welcome, »o long ns he bas something of real importance to my, and ean my it intelligently and intelligibly.Many a lelter has to be laid aside because of lack in the latter conditions, We have little patience on the one hand with those «ho think we sbould refuse everything that does not my what we think, and les on the other with those who would merely trifle with the ttuth.Jour 18, 1908 Volapuk of the Levant, each saluted the other as \u2018Bono Johnny.A great hit was made by à Frenchman in the Lome don music halls, where sang a song in French to a popular air, tbe refrain cé which was:\u2014 \u2018Yes, sir, 1 am Frenchman, uy \u2018brother's Englishman.ive la Prance et l'Angleterre! It was amusing snd suggestive te ob serve with what fervor the tars of both nations responded to the friendly decle- rations of their governments.Men who, under the sway of a different policy, would be ready to send each other to the bottom of the ses, proclaimed their willingness to die in mutual defence.A few years after the Crimean war a Rue sian warship arrived at Gibraltar to take bome the bodies of Kumian officers who had died on the Rock prisoners of war.There was no {raternizing between British and Russian sailors.One of the former was asked why.He replied: \u2018The beggars wouldn't come out and * fight at Sebastopol, but sank their ships \u2018across the mouth of the harbor eo we \u2018couldn't get inatibem.\u2019 The tradition in the British navy concerning the French was quite different.They were always ready and willing to fight, and were consequently held in high esteem.There is nothing the British tar regards with greater contempt than a ship which will not \u2018come out and fight.\u2014\u2014> A British writer, quoted by the Bos ton \u2018Transcript,\u2019 enquires why, in the name of consistency, the United States remains of Thomas Paine, the fidel, that it is paying to those of Paul Jones, the great pirate.Of it is said, that he did as much for cause of the thirteen colonies with bis pen as Washington did with his humed his remains and took them to England, his native land, with the hope of increasing the enthusiasm there for republican ideas.The plan failed and would probably have been forgotten but for an epigram, attributed, at all events not inappropriately, to the reckless and cynical pen of Lord Byron, whoss straing could be as low as they could be lott Wi \u2018In digging up your homes Tom Puimay.- Will Cobbett has done well;

but all is the work of the self eome Spirit, dividing to everyone severally as he will.And the effects of the Spint are discernible also to onlookers.Sometimes the work of the Spirit is destrue- tive; be comes into us to destroy the works of the devil and sweep them out of our mature; and when s man who has been a drunkard and à blasphemer, a vwife-beater and a jail-bird, is seen with his vices all destroyed sitting at the feet of Jewus clot in his sent mind, or when the proud Pharisees.wit: ail his bigh hts about himself laid low, is seen ready to utter the preyer of the publican, \u2018God be merciful to me, a sinner\u2019; there you bave the effects of the Spirit's work discernible to all.The same might be said about sanctiti- cation.1 do mot know this congregmtion well, but 1 should be very much surprised if there were not some in this congregation whose holiness is eo fine and rere that even the mowt worldly recog nize it .as divine.I am sure most ot u in the coun es where you were rought up as children can remember men and women w character was not of this world.It was too fine and divine to be @ mere produet of this earth, and the wickedest men in the parish acknowledged that these were true children God.But it is perhaps most clearly of all in Christian work this difference is discernible.In such work, as in any kind of buman effort, seal will do much, plans well leid and efforts continuously made may have a certain success, but what a difference it makes in our Christian work when there bas daresay at the vessie 8 summer you may have seen a and dry on ths beach, and ho to whom it belon were trying own to the edge of the water, et though they pushed and pulled, every minute it was lurching to one side or the other, and getting deeper into the sand.Look, what is thet coming steling up the bay with noiseless etep?It is the tide, and when the tide comes to the \u2018boat what a difference between the way it takes it up and dandies it on its breast, and the way in which men have to struggle and strive.That fe the difference between Christian work when we are doing it, and the sme 0 hen ie taken of the Britinh Isles there are coming such impressive reports of the work of the Spirit of God.We hear of druok- ards made sober, of blasphemers made reverent, of miserable homes made happy.of Bibles sold and churches fill- od.are the sounds of the wind of God.1 was very much struek with what one of our ablést young Kdin- burgh ministers said when he cate back from Wales.He mid, T went to Wales to test the revival, but 1 hed not been there long when IT found the revival was testing me;

but as Jesus Christ never made his verthly ansiogies unnatural, 1 conclude that that cannot have been what he meant, and that what is here stated refers not to direction, but to distance.Lie does not mean to say that when the wind ir blowing you cannot tell from which di- tion it is and in which direction it is going, you cannot teil from what distance it is coming, or to what distance it ia going.W the wind is blowing you feel the impact, and yon know that it ie operating , but you are aware that you are only feeting rert of a force that ie more extensive than I= can caleulste.You do not know ow far it has travelled before it has come to you, nor how far it will travel after it bas passed you.It is quite trea that this point is one on which science is working hard at the present moment, and when there is à atorin raging où the shores of the United States notice of the fact is transmitted by means of an agent that travels ter faster than the wind, and we send all round the Baltic and the Mediterranean signals to intimate that eo storm may be expected.But however far science ma be able to go in that direction, 1t ill never render inept the proverbial statement of our text : ' Thou canst not know whence it cometh or whither it iad in the sense that | bave oxplain- Now, here again we come upon a remarkable feature of the Spirit of God and his work.Yoa cannot tell whence it cometh.Take the work of the Spirit specially referred to in the text, that of the new birth.We all know the obvious umal indications that that work is going om;

would make ft possible for ts te §0 calmly off to the Belde or woods with ne fear of smoking wicks or gas ex prosions or fire.Have amy of the Home readers tried It, or will any of the beu\u2018e- keopors try it, and write us dow they swe coed?One.of the American papers gives the feilowing account of the speriments Unele Sam ts making with it: Ost West they call the fireless ooek- stove the bay bex.Here fe the formule for making one of these etoves: You first get 8 wooden box,the doards of which are tightly joined.Any oM bez will do, provided % is tight emough asd large enough.Nezt you line it with two er Chree thieh- nomes of felt, or, What is better, ashestss paper, The lining can ©s fastened to the.wood with glue, #0 that it is not necessary to make any ho'es with paîls or tacks.Neat you get à few ermfuis of thoroughly dried hay, stuff It into the box, then get a pleco of cotton batting of the exact eagth and width of the inside, and your E cook steve is reg busing.âme no matches, ne gas jet, 2e coal Diese, no Bamios fagote.You coulé oot the siove in the middle of a plie of gunpowder and cook the mea! without (be slightest danger, fer on the outside it Is no warmer then the ordinary alr.The slement that does the work is beld prisoner within.Yoa, the term fireless cook steve is sp- propriate, but a little Asa is required.just ærough to get the thing started properly, uel as you use kindliag to start the fire ser breakfast ju the morning.This kind- itog can be done over a gas stove, as oil stove, or a bonfire If you wish.Suppose, for instance, you want to make an Irish stew.The yotatoss, onions and any other vegetables are chopped up with the mest and put Jato the kettle, and ough water Is added.The cook pinces the kettle over the fire just Joux enoigh for the wuter to begiu to bubble, showing that It has renched the boiling polot.Taking the kettle off the fire, be slips it into a bole Io the hay box, tucks the day «ougiy around the siges and bep.puts the cotton &atting or other cover over all then claps down the covering and latches or locks it.That's all.The box does the rest, and be can turn of the gas cock or dash a pall of water over the embers.He das no further use for the dre.Suppose the stew is being made for the noon dinner, The cook puts it into the box anywhere between 9 20d 10 o'clock.Just befors de announces that dimcer is served he takes the xettie out of the bos.pours the stew ioto the tureen, and when the bead of tbe fami:y Indies it out the odor which srises from it is as appetising as thet of any Irish stew ever made on the most modern hotel range.The meat and vogetables are thoroughly done,steaming bot, and of the genuine flavor.They aro not only cooking Irish etewe for the soldiers out West, but boliing pork apd ham,

encampments, as well as posta with the bay ex, or some variation of It.A dinner which aoy beaitby man will etfoy can be prepared in two hours, et the cost of a cupful of ceal off, à few ctblc feet of gas, or eû or three sbovel- fuis of coal, just enough fuel to generate Beat.The hay box can well ba called a firelems cook stove, since it will do !te werk almost without any other ald.The secret of it is that the heat gen- ersted tmeide the vemsel heiding the food, and in the food itself, is enough to eook the food It prevented from escaping.While tbe process is slower it lu much more tborough then the usual mode.The heat units bave time to go through the substance, Most of the staple viands are ready for the table after betng placed from two to three bours in the hay boz, but when the cooking process is finished the box retains the heat so long that they may bs kept worm for several hours after.\u2018When tye cook gets dioper on the ordinary range the scientist says that about 93 percent of the beat generated is either wasted In the room or by passing up the chimney, and tbat less than five percent is actually utilised because It cannot be kept in tie right place, The percentage Of waste where oil, or even gas, Js used, is enormous.In electric cooking the current is carried directly deneatb the dish holding the food by mesns of wires, its best being applied to
