| hee License Law, which was taken up in third reading.referred to the nu- mervus petitions which have Le.received and the temperance delegations that have waited on the government.pointing cut that Quebec was the only province in the Confederation where the saloons were allowed 10 keep open until midnight.After hearing the temperance delegation and the delegation of liquor dealers, after reading the views of the press, after sounding pvblic opinion and examining the Ontario law, the government reached the conclusion that the best thing possible wag to accept the law as it was in Ontario.The new lan provides that liquor shops of all kinds must be closed at 11 p.m.datly in cities and towns, at 10 Pp.daily in the country, with the i exception of Saturday.when they will he closed at seven p.m.all over the province, and the opening hour dally .Will he seven a.m.| Mr.\u2018revnat considered that thers was discrimination, and that the early closing should be the same in the country as in the cities.Me thought that there was even more need of it in cities.i Mr.Galipeautt, of Rellechasse, praised the bill, and sad that he was | proud that it was the Liberal Gov ernment that had had the courage to bring In such à good measure.He said that the early closing law which 11nd heen enforced in the city of Que- her for several vears had done a great deal of good, which was universally admitted.Mr.Godfray Langlois said that vins- iing restaurants In Montreal at 7 pm lon Saturdays was tor.early It would mt be imagined that eariv closing would stop drinking, as it was human nature to suppose that if a man want- ,ed a drink Le would ge where he could \u201cfind it.Mr, Armand Lavergne accused the government of not being sincere in , proposing the jaw.The real remedy lux ih decrensing the duties on good {ilquer and wines and puting up the duty on Heeteh and on ail liquors, which was a federal and not a pre- vinelal matier.Sir Loomer Gouin, in a general reply to the remarks made, said iat the bill was not nm mater of politics, but of { Rereral interest, though Mr.Lavergne imagined it was all bluff.But (fn was all that, why was there no amend.nent made, and those

and, of the greatest importance from economic and other pointe of view, the prohibition of the export of timber cut oa Crown Laade\u2014which means that in future United States manufacturers will not be able to take ou.'»gs and make them into pulp or what Bot on the other side of the border, but mi Ce the maputacturing MA this eotatl\u2019.f appears to have n large majority in tte support.i \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The action of the aldermen in relation to the Carter by-law and other ' , he minds of the citinens of the gues.tion much debated during the Proulx- Giroux regime us to whether boards of aidermen do or do not do more harm than good.(Certainly many cities have abolished them during the past few vearr, because, when they were not found to be corrupt, they were apt { tu become \u2018inebriated with the exuberance of their uwwn verbosity, and obstruct useful work instead of | forwarding it.The \u2018man in the street\u2019 i tha decided in considerable numbers thut they must go; while many of those wha woukl retain them as an institution are of the opinion of ex- Mayor Laporte that they should be elected by districts rather than by wards.The ward man.as Mr.Laporte says.will, with few exceptions, al- {Ways be n small man, secing out of \\ All proportion ta the city's hest interests his ward's sidewalk, and what not: while an aiderman elected from each of a few large divisions might be expected to he more of a public henefactor.Whether or no, not a few citizens are now leginning to think that presently we may evolve « system of government by controllers only, ; the same to be elected ag now by the voters as a whole, and with effective machinery for a referendum und a recall when circumstances shall require them op seem to require them.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The reply of Mr.Justice Lafontaine to the statement of the License Commissioners should be a rather tough bone for that bedy to pick.He quotes ; them as admitting themselves that they license as restaurants places which ure actually saloons, and marks trenchantly-'If that does not \u2018vanetitute a confession of vinlation \u2018of the law, I no longer know the \u2018meaning of words.\u2019 Mr.Justice Lafontaine\u2019s reply ta the Commissioners \u2018as regards the statement that it i \u2018rests with the citizens to move in \u2018the matter themselves and file op- * positions ta the granting of licenses\u2019, | is equally unanswerable, it would | It is, he says.\u2018against com- | seem.mon sense and law itself.\u2019 The license jaw imposes on the Commissioners the duty to grant licenses only to those whe comply with the law, and does not expect the public to have to reform their sins of omission or commission.The Commissioners have asked for an official inquiry, and all friends of reform will second their | efforts tn get it.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 ! While in many respects the Street | Railway system of Montreal is admir- \"able, it is a truism to say that it is by (no means perfect.Whoever Is most to blame for it, the company, tha city | authorities, or the public, the fact remains that the crowding at certain {hours is \u2018uncivilized\u2019 and cannot be | \u2018allowed to continue indefinitely.But the great blet on the system is the \"toll it takes of human life and limb.Eleven deaths are charged to its ac- ! count atready this year, and something must speedily be done to stop this frightful massacre.In Chicago.recently, a jury found that a collision between à street car and an auto- ! mobile was due to a mania for high and dangerous speed which prevails in i the operation of all surface lines in that city: and can our street railway cars at times he held guiltless in this respect?Whatever the cause, whether \u2018speeding.\u2019 or inadequate \u2018safety\u2019 fenders, or these and other things combined, humanity is making an insistent call for a stop to be put to this juggernaut-like sacrifice.\u2014 One of the best things the Federal Government has done for the potential advancement of this country is the appointment of the Royal Commission on Industrial Training and Technical Education.The composition of the Commission seems all that could be desired, and Prof.Robertson is eminently the man to direct it.The scope of the inquiry is exhaustive, and the findings of the commission when It has concluded its valuable work will, we may hope, very soon be put into practice.The Province of Quebec.thanks to Sir Willam Macdonald and the enlightened policy of Sir Lomer Gouin, has been a proud pioneer in several important phases of technical education, but it must he the pgerious concern of the country as a whole If we are to maintain even a respectadle place in the modern history of civilisation.The commission is tn study present cond).tions relating to industrial training.technical education, and the needs of workinemen and employers, at home and abroad; and if we are wise enough to set about following Its recommendations, when they are presently before us.we shall be kept usefully busy for many a day to come.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 8ir Ernest Shackieton is one among many millions who believe tat the Immediate future of Canads will oe vast in Its resulth In a number of ways.Plans that seem big, even oNI- merical, to-day, may be que inad+- quate to-morrow.But it is upon the present unknown mineral areas in Canada that Sir Ernest himeelf is cogitating most.and to them he intends to give personal attention.He says the minerai future of Canada te pretty sure to be surprising to those who have not given that phase of our country\u2019s richness special attention.Even of the known miners! deposits, mountains of iron ore, and what mot, little use hss so far been mede; but the time seems to be approaching, more or less soon, When the pro\u201cuc- tion of minergie useful ia manufee- tures and the arts will vie in money value even with the production of agriculture.This is only pne of the many big thince coming upon us which we must face with wisdom If we wpuid avolé being overwheitned and share among us t .re evil .aan good.~ A It a county's Best customer 13 à country\u2019s best then must ihe alters has caused an acute revival in THE MONTREAL WEEKLY WITNESS, JUNE 7, at heart à Empire, liuwever suc sfully in aguinat such reduction.This argu- 1910 a Yr nr pv ue ' What we did say was that it is no and the other side still declaring, i guilty of patronising.\u2018He had net of the lo thy one coronation | trary.that the tariff ls the on™ pana- , bast shee has ut times been ahle to wealth and poverty which has changed oath\u2019 in that form.The British realms cea for each and every (là that cam jeonceal it.lt ls fair to say tnt j late good-will has been happily pre- | \u201cdominant.From a trade point of! view, at least, our cousins must wish ! us increasing sise and material pros- perlty.since We purchase more than 8° third of all their exported man: fac- tured products.and nearly a half of their unmanufactured products.Can- | asda and Newfoundland alone last year took $97.000,000 of United States manufactures; the Mother Country, $132, 000,000, while British Asia took $14,000.000.and British Africa, $7,000,000, The i grand total of British purchases of both manufactured end -nmaufactur- | goods from the United States | amounts to many millions, and that total would without doubt be mu\" | greater if the United Btates teriff was not framed to exclude as far as pos- | sibte an exchange of produc:~.This Aspect of the case is beginning to be seen hy an Increasing number of \u2018Americans.\u2019 !

free from spot and corruption, so muat his soul be ever clean.Neglect of the blade brings rust; neglect of the soul an impure character.Then the sharp edge was held not ently as a constant guardian of personal safety and honor, but as & sacred discipiinarian te punish whenever its possessor stepped from the nar-\u2019 row path of the Yamato spirit of chive airv.Again, the sword was emblematic of true gentility, which Ie never overbearing or vulgar in deportment, but steruly self-repressive.All thia poetical side of right living and all this ceremonial of sword deportment arise from the love and reve erence for one of the few original Japanese arts.The potters took their art from the Coreans, 20 experts have decided; lexicographera drew upon the Chinese as their models: the silk weavers and brocade makers civilization : but the sword makers of primitive Japan owed no jot of thelr art to foreigners.They fashioned the curved hlade, gave it fin double temper and marked its stvel with the tracings which spell each its own lesson.No man knows when first the forxe for fighting weapons was set up in the dawn of Japanese history nor who was .the man who first replaced the rude bronze blades of a primitive folk ty the tempered steel of the Yamato blade.There is in the imperial rol- lection of awords at the castle of Nara the weapon worn by the Crown Prince Shotoku, who compiled the Constitution of Seventeen Articles in A.D.693, the oldest sword known in Japan.From that weapon, Which wasatralght and not curved as ail other awords of - Nippon are.down to the fall of :he Tokugawa Shogunate in the middle of the last century there is an unuroken history of the art of the swordsmith.Twelve centuries of recorded art ia sword-making and the names of over 10,000 makers constTinte the history the sword In Japan.one Japanese blade, placed almost on a par with the Damascus product in art and utility, differs from the Arabian weapon fn one material de- tall of manufacture, Instead of having a uniform high temper, which gives the remarkable flexibility possessed hy the Damascus blade, the Japanese sword has two tempers, & hard and a mild steel.The edge of the blade is hard with the finest temper, the hody and back of a milder temper, sufficient to give some elasticity.A Japaneses sword cannot be bent half double with the pressure of a hand; it Is very nearly rg early awordsmith who first evolved this combination of two de- of steel hardness used the same method which the smiths of the last eentury employed.He first bullt up the glade hy welding small pleces of steel end on end and side by side hy sheer effort of his pounding arm.The traces of this first step in manufacturing remain on the blade and are known in the Japanese as the hada, n of the blade.jth the blade shaped thus the smith covered the entire body of \u2018t with clay.Then with a deilcate moulding instrument he carefully removed the clay from the cutting edge.Used in Canada for over half a century \u2014used in every corner of the world where people suffer from Constipation and its resulting troubles\u2014 Dr.Morse\u2019s Indian Root Pills, stand higher in public !

and to reach the regi:ns where the Mullah is stirring up trouble it is necessary to transport these supplies 275 or 300 miles overland, To this burden is added that of carrying their water supply or of fighting for it at the wells.it was for this reason that so many of the expeditions \u2018o the interior met defeat.The soldiers lost their way in the desert and when exhausted by the heat and want of water they were set upon by the Muliah's forces and beaten.The Mad Mullah.or as he is known to his countrymen Mohammed Bul Abdullah, first came to the attention of the British in 1899 through a despatch that sald he was the leader of an uprising in the Interlor of Somali- land.It was at the time suggested thaz a \u2018military promenade\u2019 be under taken against him.That promenade grew into a desultory campalgn which took up thres years and cost the government fifteen million dollars.Even then nis power was only temporarily broken y the battle of Jidballl, for he fled with a remnant of his forces to Ital- lan territory.destroying lo his way tne wells and\u2019 thus maklog pursuit im] ible, ore he hall undertaken this open warfare or before the British knew of him he had sécretly paved the way for his trouble making by his zeal 'n preaching the Moslem faith.He began among his own tribe and then reached out to peighboring tribes.He was only one of lesser religious chiefs of the country, but he augmented his influence by [ - grimage to Mecca.With the increase of his power he began a crusade which with the help of éervishes extended over the whole of Bomaliland.He preached war pure and simple for the protection and glory of lslam'and: advocated ths extermination of the wbites.It soon became evident that he was a religious fanatic of persuasive quall- ties, and his early successes had a tendency to make him converts and to collect around him a following 1m- bbued with his own rabid ideas.He por however, only one of the twelve of fifteen religious leaders of Somail- land, and meny of these had aworn fealty to the Brittth and were not to be won over by his teachings.i It was fprtunate for the British i3.P.Sauce comes to you from the that this was the for otherwise | Midland Vi Brewery, Birming- ft would have been h: them to tam, England \u2014 tbe largest Malt send troops into the fnterior.The Vinegar in the world.friendir ee found Chamael ives, x.of 0 » uflah\u2019s ll Ucequalled facilities and esper- wrath, fooks and towne were isncs make it possible to you destroyed, their families and tribes- this pure, delisivas and high-grade men murdered and before could Sauce at n low price.offer resistance their fos would de far Order H.P.Sauve te-dag sb wy ee ae eerie the soldiers P., eu 20!

education, which is to develop the right kind of muscular powers in the farm lad suM- elently early in life.The boy Is kept at school until he is fifteen to sixteen years old, and although he may have during that time done more or less chores, the muscles of his back, breast, arms and hands are very inadsqustely prepared to endure here Jaborious work, being ee efician radar a wall vo re cen- sequantiy work which might have been & source of pleasure, becomes burdensome, wearisome and despio- «ble in his estimation.Even if he should continue to reside on the farm.this defective early training of mind and body will make farm Hfe much less pleasurable than it ought and might, be made.Some thres score or more years ago, when I was attending a country school In the winter peason\u2014one of our books was called The English Reader, which contained 8 greater amount of useful Instruction than is to be found in any of the school books now in use- A whole section of that reader was devoted to a description of \u2018Fortitude,\u2019 the meaning and practice of which has almost become obsolete In American scholastic education.By refarencs to Webster, the word fortitude is said to mean \u201cThe strength or firmness of mind or soul, which enables a person to encounter danger with coolness and courage, or to bear pain or adversity without murmuring, depression or despondency.Fortitude Is the basis, or source or genuine courage or intrepidity in danger, or patil.ence in suffering.of forbearance under injuries, and of magnanimity in all conditions of life.* If fortitude were practically taught in rural homes and rural schools as ft ought, and might be taught, the prosperity and the happiness of farmers and their families would be.greatly Increased.\u2014RUSTICUS.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HAVE A PIG PASTURE.The cheapest gains on rowing pigs ean never be made by & grain ration only.The pig is naturally a forager, and by all means the most s2vonom:cal way to make summer gains is to have « pig pasture and allow the animals to gather & goodly portion of their ewn living.\\ For a permanent pasture, If It can he had to succeed, one of the best things would no doubt be alfalfa.Any of the clovers, also, would do very well.The high percentage of nitrogenous content in all of theses espe- olally adapts them to flesh formation.Of the grasses, brome is the best for a8 it remains green and tasty uring 8 longer period of the saason than any of the other grasses.But, after all, probably the best results can be had br sowing an annual erop.For early spring graxing nothing can beat fall sown rye A little later, wheat or cate\u2014er possibly wheat a oats mixed\u2014will produce splendid feeding, and it wi! take oniy a small patcn to a large herd of pigs.Then, for the latter mart of the season.peas and rape are excellent.Rape will Es\u201d, more foed on an acre than peas.peas do very well in this country.pese the pigs will grow faster on & ees a fair amount of gra patch than on « Tape patch un- n the rape.But the pea crop to be so is fod with awed should be sown on à clean piece of fand.Otherwise the weeds will have a chance to multiply, wid oats would delight in\u2019 snoh a chance, sand 20 wnuld thinties and almost all other weeds.The pix pasture is very much better if it provides a run to a slough or stream.but go long as thers is a goo!

Key to Sucesss in Dairy Nerd Improvement in the Selectién \u2019 of a Sire.Men seeking Teal herd improvement should co-operate; 15 or 20 men could club together under a six-year agreement and purchase three good bulls.With the herd in three groups, the members of each group could have one bull two years: then redistribute the sires, and at the end of the second two-year period change again.Thus there is the use of three good sires for three years each at far lower cost than if each man bought one hlmnself.Pure dairy type Is of the utmost Importance.Some breeds of animals may ce milk and beef, but not with nomy, and net profit {a our object in view.A trotter ls not expected to haul « load of hay, nor a pampered pug dog to go deer hunting\u2014economic milk cannot be expected from beef type.The sire must not only be purebred, but he must be a gopd purebred.Mere entry in a herd book Is Delther a guarantee of personal excellence nor @ sound reason for a lofty price See that the dam and grand- dama have been fine producers, and that the sire is a good individual of dairy type, not coarse and beefy.Don't worry delving in the archives for records of five or six generations ago: the immediate ancestor counts.The carefully selected sire should be used us & mature animal A young- ater is not ready for general or extensive use till three or four years old, about the age many are killed.but he can continue till ten or twelve, at least.Of untold damage, most serious detriment to herd improvement is the young, Immature, scrub sire run- olng loose in the herd.Co-operation shouid rapidly be practiced in this vespect; It already la sp- plied, for instance, in hauling milk, xchange of work filling ello, and can be profitably utllized In the purchase of good sires, : Of mere man Sbarkespeare wrote: \u201cThe evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones,\u201d but, fortunately, with the mother of agriculture it is not so, the poor cow is forgotten, the good is recorded.Judging by the broad foundations now being laid by our records recently commenced, one may contently predict that future students of dairy conditions the world ov will be amased at the excellent attainments of dairy cows In Canada.ete NEW GARDEN PEST.| Motur-cars are bad enough, dut they { tock, Marsh.i do not come Into one\u2019s house oF - den, remarks a Torquay correspondent of the London \u2018Times.\u2019 With aeroplanes through the wool, for a little chat at any time.1 fear the law cannot protect one against such intrusion.spikes, with jong strong prongs.fixed on the chimneys of my house, and the word \u2018Danger\u2019 painted In large red letters on a flat part of the roof.If any flying machines come down In my garden shall send for the police to remove the occupants, whom ! shall sue after wards for any damage to my | \" trees or shrubs.rt ANOTHER ALBERTA COW QU - FILS.QUALI IN The official test of the Holstein cow | an 11.McClintock, Gass and Mae- y tarin nd Princess Helen de Kol, the prophet of Mr.I.Bateman.of Innisfall® ras eompleted on April 7.Princess Helen entered (te test as à two-year-nld, and as such was required to give 9.U6 pounds of milk tn qualify, A: the closes of her yearly test she had given 10.987 pounds of milk, testing on the Average 2.56 pervent fat, or just at the 8 percent mark.Bhe did her best work in June, giving 1,308 pounds of milk, but in December dy feoding roots Mr, Rateman got her back to 1.818 pounds of milk for the 30 days.stable mate of Princess Helen, Mayflower Gipsy.hegan a test la July.amd ny April 99 had given 8.710.The required amount In this case o qualify was 4178 pounds in the twelve months 1 t total sirangers may drop in, | Jenkins spa Macfariane.equal.| Fleweiling, H.N.: Te : toke, K.M;

\u2018I need no more\u2019; \u2018Neither do 1.' : Mrs.Flick hesitated, then reached timidly toward a platter set artistically amid ferns and roses.\u2018I dislike %o disturb the decoration; and, it I sake out so many dishes, it Will call for re-arrangement,\u2019 she protested modestly.\u201cThat's no matter\u2019 asserted Mrs.Todd stoutly, unheeding the demur about her.\u201cTake that ham right off.I kmow better than you about auch things 1 have served banquets for forty years.\u2019 + Mrs.Flick obeyed without further remark;

ses it isnt the work Itself outwardly.Ke wants half so much as the developing of inward graces, being thoughtful and forgiving.end taking time to be pleasant.Let us all try for that part of service which is immortal.\u201d Just then the summons came to open the banquet, and many a dignitary wondered at the peculier gracions- ness of their hostesses and at the light which sat upon their faces; and little did one preacher, ofttimes discouraged, know that these dear giris, whom he had thought both frivolous and fretful, were whispering to conscience, \u2018All this will pass away; what I become as I serve will be immortal.\u2019 MOTHER'S SILVER SPECTACLES When Mrs.Silver stopped one day to think about herself, she found that she was past the age at which most people begin to wear glasses.Her husband had put them on long before.It was a wonder she had not realized sooner how much she needed them.A few evenings Ixter she beamed upon her family at dinner-time through a brand-new pair of spectacles \u2018Now this ts like living! she exclaimed.\"To think that there's a beautiful pattern in the parlor wallpaper and I never knew it til] to-day! Do you hear, father?That paper's been on the wall thres-years\u2014and I thought \u2018twas a plain tan color.And for pity\u2019s sake, what's this?A new table-cloth?\u2018Mother, you'ra joking!\u2019 the grownup daughter protested.\u2018You know when I got this tablecloth, and all about it.\" : \u2019 \u20181 never saw that rosebud design till this minute,\u2019 Mrs.Sliver declared.\u2018It\u2019s tovely, too.Why, I feel as if I had a lot of splendid new things.\u2019 \u201cJust then something called her from the table, and while she was gone her husband sald, musingly: \u2018Your mother's just the opposite.from my Aunt Cornelis when she first put on glasses.Uncle Robin brought \u2018em home from town one day\u2014he thought maybe she was beginning to need them\u2014and the first thing she did after she got \u2018em on was to take one of the children by the shoulders and say, \u2018Mercy! I didn\u2019t know you had frec- kiss!\" \u2018But thats just lm mother\u2014not the opposite,\u2019 small Tim demurred.\u2018No: the difference is that my Aunt Cornelia discovered freckles, and dust in corners, snd grease-spots, and everything bad.until lite wasn't worth living for the rest of the family.\u2019 \u2018I never thought of that.\u2019 sald the grown-up daughter.\u201cMother must be qed dissovering unpleasant things, too.She hasn't spoken to one but, if her eyesight has been affected over since we put that paper on the parlor, just think\u2014\" \u2018Just think!\u2019 Her father tack up the words playfully.\u2018Think of the lines and changes in my face alone that she hasn't known were there! But you won't catch her speaking of them.That fen't your mother\u2019s way.\u2019 \u2018Let's make her tell if father's face one proposed.just as Mrs.Silver, quite unconscious that she was the subject of discussion, came deck to the table Everybody was looking at her as she sat down and met her husband's eyes.Suddenly she leaned o lite forward and studied his face intently, with an expression that was tender, loving, sdrry\u2014all in one.caught!\u2019 said one of the boys under his breath.\u2018What have you just found out ahout father's face, mom- ete?Tell us.\u2019 \u2018H'm!

He ie pow a grown man, and when relating this incident to me a few days ago, he said that the bitterness he felt in that moment against his father could never be described, and he rusoiveod then and there in his Infancy never again to accept his father's word or to trust him in anything.It would have been just as easy for the father and equally Influential with the child as well as far more satisfactory in its result, if he had pletured to the mind of the child the sorrow of the parents of the little rabbit ag they went all day up and down the fled hunting for thelr baby bunny, and how that they would not be able to sisep at night unless their little baby was returned to them, as the bunny was too young to sleep anywhere cise except Nght by its mamma, and that it ought an that account to be returned to te own litle home Such a course as this would heave taught the child tenderness ilé thoughtfulness for all forms of animal fifé amd would have been truthful, and would have In- aspired in the mind of the child love and confidence in bis father.Parents may ask how early they ought to teach their children upon the subjects of life and being, and the proper care of their bodies.Whenever the sacred questions are asked they ought always to be answered honestly, but with the greatest Intelligence and wisdom.It matters not how young the child might be.Children always know more than their parents ever imagine they do \u2014Bylvanus Stett.D.D.TOILET HINTS Don't bathe in hard water.soften It with a little powdered borax or «a handful of oatmeal.Don't bathe the face while 1t is very warm or very cold.Don\u2019t wash the face when travelling.unless it is with a little alcohol and water or s little vaseline.Don't attempt to remove dust with cold waer; give the face n hot bath with soap: then give It a thorough rinsing with clear tepid or cold water.DoDn't rub the face with too coarse a towel; treat it as you would the finest porcelain, wently and delicately.Dont be afraid of sunshine and fresh alr; they have bloom and color.Don\u2019t forget that the nurses of woman's beauty are seven: Fresh air.sunshine, warmth, rest, sleep, food and whatever stirs the blood, be it exer- cles or enthusiasm.Din't neglect sleep: you can even sleep yourself good-looking.A long nap and\u2019 a hot bath will make any woman good-looking\u2014 \u2018Catholic News.!

kept in, but in a land where asylums are unknown, and the houses are of mat with no fixed doors, it is exceedingly difficult to know what should be done in surh a case.The only other place of note visited was Ruma.Here thers is a police station occupied by an armed guard.Two years ago a great sensation was caused in the Hill Tracts by the villagers around rising and attacking this station.Three Bepoys were killed, the rest wounded, and the station burnt to the ground.The outbreak was subdued without difficulty, and proved to be of no political importance except that it illustrated the fact that the most peaceful and timid of people, who usually files at thé sight of an unarmed Englishman, could yet rise and sweep away a post guarded by men armed with modern weapons when they imagined that they had a grievance.The scanery on this tour, as is usual in the Hill Tracts, was very beautiful.The river winds through a mountainous district with peaks 2,700 ft.high, with high cliffs often rising straigut from the river.Over a thousand cases were treated.the last drop of medicine that we had brought with us being in almost every case exhausted.Then we made all speed possible to return, and arrived home again on the eighteenth day of the tour.- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MISSION LANDS REVISITED.The Rev.Dr.Francis E.Clark has recently returned from his fifth tour around the world in the interest of the Young People\u2019s Christian Endeavor movement.On this last trip he attended the World's Christian Endeavor Convention In Agra.India, and revisit- the mission fields In India, China and Japan.Some impressions made upon his mind are given in a valuable article in the \u2018Record of Christian ark\u2019: In revisiting these mission lands I find the matériel equipment of the missions greatly improved and enlarged over what I saw eightesn years ago.and avan ten years ugo, and in this we must all rejoice.TY find !arger compounds, better buildings, more comfortable homes, more substan*ial and commodious school bulldings and hospitaisr and yet I find none too fine for their use or too large and beautiful to reflect credit on the cause they Only a churl ar a confirmed worlding would begrudge the missionary a comfortable home.or regret that the churches and schools and hospitals embody in \u201crick and stone something of the beauty and symmetry and strength of the religion of Christ, As a matter of fact, many of the schools and hospitals are largely or wholly self-supporting in these days, and often the money for the building, as well as for the support.of the institutions they house comes from the people who are chiefly benefited.As an illustration of this I might cite Dr.Van Allen's hospital of the American Board mission at Madura, India, which, if [ am not mistaken, was wholly bullt by the peopie of Madura, much of it being given by the non- Christians, some of it even taken from the treasury of the greatest H!ndoo temple in the world by the temple authorities themselves, out of gratitude to Dr.Van Alien and other missionaries, who had brought physical healing which they appreciated, even though they cared little for spiritual health.When in Canton, eightesn years ago, there was then a Presbyterian hospital, large and weil equipped, and doing a marvellous work for the people of this province.Now not only is pthis pital enlarged and even more finely equipped.still carrying on and extending its beneficent work.but another ital for women, under the care of .Mary Fulton, has been erected, has become self-supporting, and ls proving a blessing to tens of thousands of the women of China.Moreover, Chinese doctors and nurses have been trained in these hoepitals who are acarcel, less akillful than their teachers.Pouring my brief visit to Canton on this last journey an operation was performed in this woman's hospital by a Chinese woman « which was as remarkable as any have recently seen recorded.A tumor weighing eighty-two pounds was removed from a woman who after the operation weighed only.seventy-six pounds, and this was done wholly by Chinese doctors and nurses.with the latest antiseptic appliances and the caro and skill: that coulé have used in the best hospital in America.The patient recovered rapidly.and the rext day showed no sign fever or distress of any kind.This is only one example, of miilions of operations that are performed every year in the mission hospitals throughout the world, Who can estimate the growing influence of these life-aa mission stations

can be equipped and supported, and these twenty native preachers can dn a hundred times as much evangelistic work as the one missionary.\u2019 This, of course, le not saying that missionaries are not needed, and will not be needed for years to come in these lands, but does mean that a larger proportion of our money should be put into the development of native agencies, and that the progress of the future will be accelerated just in proportion as those ngencies are more and more fully utilised.The missionaries will still be needed for many years in most lands as superintendents.as teachers of teachers and preachers, as oversesrs and bishops, as it were, of vast dioceses, but more fully every year it is coming to be understood that no ne- tion can be evangelised save through ita own people.\u2014\u2014\u2014 WEST CENTRAL AFRICAN MIS SION.- In a letter to the \u2018Missionery Her- aid\u2018 from Ochileso, the Rev.T.W.Woodside has a quite unusual story te tell of Christian effort among the pec- ple of that region, springing into existence of its own accord and main- n- stead of waiting for the missionaries to plant outstations end support them with funds from the mission \u201card until they can be gradually educated to self-support.here are outstations starting upon the princtple of self-aup- port with no misslonary grants whatever, and in some Instances even an- ticipati the missionaries in starting work.he story ss Mr.Woodside tells it is In part as follows: \u2018We have now connected with this station five outetations.They are small beginnings, but ! believe they are baginnings in the right direction We are starting thess.or rather helping them to start themselves.Some of the other stalions are paying the outstation teachers.We think it fe better that they go out and auppert themselves.If we go on the plan of supporting or paying these outstation teachers we will be limited by the amount of money in hand.If, on the other hand, we go on tha plan of their supporting themselves and perhaps help them a little to get started, we will net have the meney limitation.There asems little reason why they cannot support themselves.\u2018About the time we came away from Sekaniimba one of the voung lellows ° left there and went to his village.We lost sight of him for some time.About the time 1 was going home [ heard the {fellow was carrying on a school.While I was at home he came here to the station to visit.Mr.Neipp did not know him.When we ret he came again, bringing with him about a half dosen young fellows who were his pupils.He wanted to remain here, but they all protested and sald: \u201cYou are our.teacher and leader.If you stay, whe will help us?\u2019 They sald if he wouil only go with them they would leave their village and all go and build a new village of their own.He was persuaded to go with them, and they have their own village.I sent word to him to come for the week of prayer.He could not come then himself, Some six or eight fellows did coms.A couple of weeks later we were surprised one day to see some four or five fellows and adout a dozen women and girls come walking with Kesongo, for that is his name, in the lead.They remained here over two Sundays.The second Sun Kesongo was baptised and received into the church.One of the fellows wio is helping Miss Redick in the achoo! and who la from the district near where Kesongo is will go and bulld thers, ani ihe iw fellows witl carry on the school and evening prayers and Sunday services.We have furnished them with some school sup- piles.ve hope te visit hem from me to time, althoug : it two good days from here.t is merely a sample of what I mean of outstations being self-sup- porting.About six hours east from here t is another of these schovls which had rather a spontaneous origin, We visited the village a couple ef weeks ago.We found there, besides the teacher, two men and thres women who are professed followers of the Lord Jesus.One of our older fellows will be going there the coming 4ry season to bui When I was over there 1 heiped them saiect a site for thelr vHlage.It will be only a few minutes from three other villages, and yet it vi be
