session, wus the bili gmending the Liquor License Act, and which wus immediately passed without on.\u201cFhe measure, which, is a substitute for the original bill introduced a fortnight ago, was pub, through in less than ten minutes.It makes it unlawful yior, any rson holding a license to send liqubr into any -eounty where the Canadian.Temperance Aet is rohibited under the Ligtor License Act, Lhe maximum penalties for first, second or third offences are fifty, one hundred and two hundred dollars.\"The License Commissioners can cancel the license of any person convicted of a second offence, ut an appeal can be taken to the Gov- ernor-in-Council.The bill makes it unlawful to sbip liquor C-O.D.to any county where the Canada Temperance Act is in force, by express or other conveyance, and any -licencee offending shall have his licen-e cancelled.Any express company carrying liquor to be paid.for on delivery info a county where its sale is prohibited shall be liable to a penalty of not less than forty or more than one hundred dollars, - One ot the principal objections of the wholesale liquor merchants to the amended bill was that it would give Halifax merchants a chance to send goods to the counties.while shutting out St.John merchants.If the Nova Scotia Legislature passed a blll similar fo this it would put all on the same footing.HALIFAX FORTIFICATIONS DOMINION GOVERNMENT ASSUMES

TE pressed to-day by Judge O'Sullivan m the Court of General Sessions in answer to a presentment on the subject submitted to him by thé graad jury.Judge O'Sullivan added that it is not within the provimce of the court to say whether there was intent.That is a question which the jurors must determine for themselves from all the facts and circumstances in the case.He charged the jury to make a thorough investiga tion into all the facts and to place the responsibility for such erimes, if they find that crimes were committed, \u201c You are not to go seeking for shelter as an excuse to avoid an unpleasant duty,\u2019 he said.This opiniou is, in et- d fect, directly opposed to ome upon the same subject, which was given by Dis- trict-Attorney Jerome several days ago.Mr, Jerome, in his brief, which was submitted to Judge O\u2019Sullivin, held that there was no ground for prosecution of any insurance officials in connection with the campaign contributions, taking the ground that no intent to defraud had been shown.Judge O'Sullivan agrees with the contention of the district-at- torney that intent must have been present to constitute the crime of larceny, \u2018but declares chat the question whether there was intept is a question which is yet to be determined.Mr.Jerome was in court to-day when Judge O'Sullivan delivered his opinion, and when the judge had finished, the district attorney asked the grand jury to remain, as he desired to address them upon the subject in question.He de clared that Judge O'Sullivan bad misconceived the subject which he had con- \u2018sidered, and that if the court held to its opinien it would be the duty of the grand jury to return indictments against George W.Perkins, former vice-presi- dent.of the New York Life Insurance :Cœmpany, for Jerceny, and against Geo.B.Cortelyou, chairman, and Cemelius N.Bliss, treasurery of the Republican \"National Committee, for receiving stolen goods.Mr.Jerpme informed Judge O\u2019Sulliven that -He-mranid .sik, ant 8 magistrate he would it affidavite regarding the acts said to have been committed by Mr.Perkins, and would ask for & warrant for his amest.He added thet im.event of such a warrant being issued, .a writ of habeas corpus would follow and that the could would \u2018Be taken te the highest courts, where the district attorney would.retain Mr.Alton B.Parker as special counwel.Judge O'Sullivan declined to grant the warrant, giving as his reason that the question at issue should be passed upon by fhe grand jury.SHUE MACHINERY CASE COMPANY NOT ENTITLED TO

illegal cause they were wn restraint of trade and a means by which the company exercised a monopoly.The defendants produced a number of shoe manufae- turers of Quebec to prove their contentions.A

that should a vessel reach Quebec and not be able to lend her immigrants on Sunday she would be compelled to remain in port with her saloon and secoud class passen-! ers on board.The application of the)\u2019 Sabbath Observance Act to the shipping industry would involve therefore a serious menace to this interest.The difference between sea service and land employment has been recognized in previous legislation.Even Noah was allowed seven days to complete the loading of his ark.The concluding plea or the pelitioners is that Canadian\u2019vessels with the existing conditions are enormously as compared with shipping from or to the United States.The guy effect of the refusal of the Shipping Federation\u2019s request would be, they say, to give the United States ports still further advantages in addition Lo those they already enjoy.\u2014_\u2014 \"A PUBLIC PAWNSHOP THE TORONTO GRAND JURY'S SUGGESTION.Toronto, March 23.\u2014The entrusting of young men, subjeet as they are to the enhanced cost of living in the city, with neat responsibility and the handling of forge \u2018sums of money, on ries which are insufficient, is a very frequent cause That was the opinion expressed by the grand jury of the general gessions in their presentation to Judge Winchester to-day.With regard to cases arising out of lending small sums of money at exorbitant rates of interest the jurors suggested the: es Se biahment of municipal or gona: ment money offices, where money co be raised on chattels in small sums, an \u2018at a comparatively reasonable rate, as is done in France.In connection with the proposed legislation now pending before the Dominion Parliament, the jury thought that the smallest measure oi relief which should be granted by parliament would be to reduce the rate of in- tenest on all loans of this character of two months\u2019 duration, to, say, 12 percent per annum.Judge Winchester said it was the best presentment he had ever listened to.\u2018 CANADIAN , FISHERIES NEARLY 80,000 MEN ENGAGED 1N THE INDUSTRY EXCLUSIVE OF CANNERY EMPLOYEES, _ Ottawa, March 24.\u2014The report of the Fisheries of Canada, presented to par- lament yesterday afternoon, shows that while no less than 1,316 fishing vessels, and tugs, manned by 9,236 sailors, toil} ed on the deep sea Banks and great inland lakes, 68,109 fishermen using 41 938 fishing boats and, over 6,000,000 fathoms of nets and seines, sought a live- lihooG upon our inshore fisheries.This is exclusive of the 13,981 persons employed in the 733 lobster canneries dispersed in the Maritime Provinces.| Thes> establishments, with their equipment, represent a capital of $1,390,736.About the same amount is mvested ii the salmon industry of British Col-, umbia, employing even more persons than the lobster business.Although the seal hunting fleet is gradually declining, it still gave employment to 544 hunters in 1904, who brought back 14,- 646 skins from the Behring Sea and neighboring coasts.In 1905 about five hundred hunters secured 13,800 fur seal, skins in the same waters.Thus thel total investment of all kinds of fishing: gear, materials, ete., aggregate a capital of $12.356,042.In the last thirty-six, wears the five chief commercial kinds of, sea fish, namely, cod, salmon, lobsters, | herring and mackerel, have yield-d the enormous sum of $400,000,000.For the last year published, the aggregat.yield of fish was valued at over $23,500,000, divided by provinces as follows: Nova Sdotia .$7,287.009 British Columbia.5,219,107 New Brunswick.4,671,034 Ontario.-.1.793,229 Quebec.2.1 4e ea 0 1,751,397 Manitoba and North-West Territories., .1,718,077 Prince Edward Island.1,077,546 It is expected that the returns\u201d\u2019 when completed, of the 1905 catch, will show the highest score ever recorded in the fisheries schedule.tt DR.MeINTYRE CHOSEN.Winnipeg, Man, March 23.\u2014Dr.Me- Intyre has been selected as the Liberil alonx this frontage candidate for Strathcona.!

Akabah is the most important point on that route.Since \u2014\u2014 Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute: of their own children or of strangers\u2019?The answer to this enquiry was given differently from what we, in modern days, would have to give it.The powers of earth have now to get money from their own people\u2014 though at times some very Wise man, like Mr.Chamberlain, has a scheme by which the stranger can be made to pay, | lation accordingly.| gree of coffty em or the people can ba got to think so, while they are paying themselves.The matter is different, - however, with investments.It is an old and true pro- vorb that the borrower is servant to the lender.The nation that can lend to other nations takes tribute of them, and if we were making a patriotic law for the investment of Canadian money, instead of limiting investors to Canadian enterprises, we would encourage investment wherever the largest and safest returns could be found.Before the Insurance Commission a memorandum was produced showing a number of directions in which the Minister of Finance is willing to relax the limitations now put on the investments of Insurance companies.They were all relaxations in the strictness of thd rules by which safety was supposed to be guarded.They are probably all wise, for safe investments cannot be altogether determined by classification, and the need of a freer scors> for the companies is obvious.But no relaxation is suggested in the only one of the regulations which does not make for security, namely, that which keeps investments outside of Canada within certain arbitrary bounds as to quantity.The \u201cpower to extend foreign investment beyond the limited proportion now allowed was the thing most of all desired by the companies, who had no object in this desire, but the advantage of their policy-holders, and it seems to be the only ore on which no concession is contemplated.The op portunity of the present investigation should be taken to make camful and searching enquiries into this question.A comparison should be made as to the relative safety and the relative profit of the home and foreign investments of \u2018the companies as shown by the results of past business, and into the scope that Canada affords for investment as compared with the amounts to be invested, and action should be taken in any new legis- \u2014 COAL COMBINATIONS.While the controversy between the anthracite coal operators and the miner union continues, with little prospect of a result satisfactory to the public, the first of April is approaching.On that date the arrangement made | by the Roosevelt commission at the time of the last great strike will come to an end.Mr.Mi ll, who speaks for the miners, sags they cannot $gith any de- étméent or arfisfaction con- ; tinue to work under present conditions, and he makes an earnest.request for a joint consideration of the miners\u2019 demands.The operators, on the other hand, say they are willing to continue the award made by the Roosevelt commission, but will make no further concession.There is thus no likelihood that a conference will be held and, as there are no means to compel the operators to arbitrate, a strike would seem to be the only logical result.But it is felt that the public interests involved are so great that the question should not be left to the decision of these two parties, while the third party, the publie.will be the chief sufferer from their disagreement It is a matter of \u2018such far-reaching and enormous importance as to constitute a question of national economics, for the solution of which the authority of Congress is alone competent.In view of the impending deadlock, an article in \u2018Everybody\u2019s Magazine\u2019 for April, by Hartley Davis, shows the grounds on which the operators assume their imperious attitude.Mr.Davis says the coal trust controls the coal supply of the country, that it has made | eighty million dollars since its birth, and that the only present limit of its power to mulet consumers is the ability of the people to pay the extortionate prices it charges.It controls, he asserts; fifteen ! thousand five hundred million tons of unmixed coal, and rules or owns the railways that market the coal, \u2018I'hus \u2018completely entrenched, the coal trust no longer worries over the legitimacy of its pretensions.\u201d It commands the situation and can dictate its terms to | both t\u2019- miners and the public.\u2018 \u20ac | This ls correct, as far as regards the public, which must have coal and must have it at the hands of this combination, and which seems, for the present.to he helpless in the premises.Over the mm- ers It has not the same power.Each man of them can demand as much money | from the operators as he can get else-! where, and they cannot refuse it to him if they want his services.But the miners have taken a leaf out of the hook of the operators and have determined, by combination, to make what demands they think good.Just hke the opeta- tors they rely on the power of monopoly.Whatever demands the operators conceded they would fall back upon the public to pay.This raises a question of public right with which no existing law can deal.To what extent poate monopoly of great natural resources he permitted?Shall the public welfare remain subservient to monopolistic combinations of whatever sort?That monopolies of any kind were wrong and contrary to; can A 7 public policy was decided long \u201c THE MONTREAL decided ago, but in the play of modern conditions, com- binationg have developed which place public policy secondary to combined Interests and these, having secured control of national and state legislation, are apparently for the present beyond the reach of the public.; This is the greatest and Inost critical question which mow confronts}: the people of the United States.lt is strongly insisting on solution.The public certainly cannot deliver itself until it can regain control of its own representative bodies which are now largely at the mercy of its enemies.But even with honest legislatures what should be done about it is no easy problem.It is plain, however that the people muet win or the republic cannot last.The difficulty is that the public does not in its heart condemn the monopolistic attitude.There is hardly a man of the public who does not know that if he was in the same position as the coal operators he would do just as they do, and probably think himself perfectly right in doing so.But even though he admitted that it was not right, a large proportion of men as they are would still admit to themselves that they would do it all the same.A party in a stage coach travelling through Upper Canada in the old coaching days passed a mag- DAILY WITNESS ee BERG te oe en EE PTT 3 children, and where no one is asking that the scriptures of Mrs.White be introduced into the schools, to conjure thest üp as an objection to introducing the study of the most important liter- âture of all the ages.There may be places where the community is so largely opposed \u2018to the intfoduction of the Scriptures that it would be impossible.Lo introduce them without creating a bitter sense of wrong.That is no reason why in other places they should not be taught.It has been found needful in places where the two viewe are strong ly arrayed against each other to let each view have its own school, but this is not desirable where it can be avoided.Mr.Price\u2019s other objection to the introduction of the Scriptures, namely, that the teachers might not be Christians- and might therefore be unsafe teachers of religion, is not so much the Protestant as the Roman Catholic view.The view of the Church of Rome is that the Bible is a very good book, but an unsafe one, where not interpreted by the Church.In opposition to this view Protestants have generally held that the Bible is it- sell a repository of truth, and that it is geod that all should read it and that it should be circulated far and wide, and that wherever it goes it cannot bul prove a blessing.As for what a teacher might teach concerning it that is differentls conceded in different places.In some nificent mansion owned by a man who had notoriously got his money in a dis- areditable way.The question went round whether those present would take the wealth with the reputation.It was soon evident that the ayes had it.What is wanted, after all, to secure the ;

pnt ligions differ as to what t régard- holy Seripture.That is, hôwever, generous objection-on hisi part, as it is obvious that the Bible, as commonly .re-4to-day, may ceived, is the Bible which he high!¥ | making feats ! values.The point at which the \u2018ptopesal | contravenes his own convictions is that therè-s ho\u2019 guäräntee that\" the tea êré who would be called upoh to ag the i Holy Scriptures are themselves UC ris] tians, or that the persons who?gppoint them, or the persons who exaniine them, are Christians, and that, therefore, putting the Bible into their hands would often be to have a-false religion taught.We have not noted that there is any specially strong agitation at the pres-nt moment for the introduction of thè Bible into schools, though we have certainly received.letters from individuals as earnest on the.other s\u2018de of the question as Mr.Price is on this, notably from a reader in Nebraska, We have\u2019 never seen that it was possible to take strong ground on either side of the question, as the whole question of state education must necessarily be a matter of compromise.To follow to its logical conclusion Mr.Price's first argument, that of injustice to those who hold diverse views, there could be no public schools at all.The Roman Catholic is as conscientiously opposed to a school where no religion is taught as Mr.Price is to one in whieh any religion is taught.Here, then, is a contradiction which would in itself make any kind of public school an in justice where there was even one Roman Catholic in the community, or two who held the views of our differing corres pondents.Quite outside of ques tions of religion there are the greatest divergencies as to what should or should not be taught in school.A correspondent recently remarked that if the parents were «sked the question whether they approved of the course, through which their children were being put, they would almost unanimously condemn it.This is probably a great exaggeration, but it is probable that most people would, if they took sufficient interest, have some fault to find with any course, and in view of the real importance of the subject we Lan only look to see such divergences\u2018 of opinion become more keen as people become more alive to the subject.In the last analysis a publie school enforezd on a community is as illogical and as real an invasion of personal conscience as a state church.On the other hand there seems no other way at the present day to get the people educated than by making some public provision for schools, and the best that can be done is for each community to agree as best it can as to what is best for it.That being the cage it is quite unnecessary ina community where there are no Mormons or move- ÿ; I'Tacked that spiritual sense herself; and q i would probably in that case be omitted Even if permited.But, leaving that out, Myould not familiarity with the sacred wecord be a great gain to all?Indeed, s not the absence of it in communities oduced a generation singularly unedu- #nted, even in a secular sense, in what i.through all the Christian ages been very large part of human knowledge?\"e think, where the conditions do not forbid, the Bible ought to be in the PHONETIC DIFFICULTIES, ter t& the New York \u2018Sun\u2019 we prin have performed epoch- in the transliteration of the Afghan language, but he does not speak with any logical accuracy in Easing the phrase gard to phonetic spelling ot English | when he is only quoting the confusion caused by the lack of it, and insensate prejudice as the only cbsta- cles to it.British officialdom adopted the continental and not the English \u2018sounds of the vowels as the standard for phoneticising Hindu names, with the necessary, but doubtless unforeszen, result that when Hindus learn English they pronounce here, hare, and so forth.That hideous result would never have occurred had the English language had a phonetic spelling which could have \u2018been applied to Hindustani.The fact that English is fast becoming the language of the Eastern world and has been made the victim of a foreign phoneticisn is the worst of reasons for not reducing it to phonetic conditions in which it can be easily and truly acquired, \u201cThe fact \u2018hat the world did not \u2018jump to the con:lusions of Noah \\Webster and: that the publishers of Webster\u2019s Dictionary have in a measure reverted to standard spelling, amounts to nothing more than that they found it necessary to make a dictionary of the language as it was, however desirable the changes suggested might be.If enquiry be made, however, it will be found that Webster's well-meaning attempt had a most proiound and almost revolutionary effect on the usages of more than half the English-speaking people.The facts that a church, which, in the United States, at least as much as elsewhere, is extremely tenacious of the past, could not adopt the new spelling 1n so sacred a word as Saviour, and that the Four Hundred of New York.who are proverbially \u2018so English.you know.\u201d use the form honour in their invitations, are merely the exceptions that prove the rule that Webster's change in one particular has actually been accomplished, although, in one of ihese words, men were naturally slover io adopt it than tbey were witig the rest.AlN must admit the enormous barrier which custom opposes to reform.All will acknowledge that there 1s always a strong presumption against any change and that adequate \u2018advaniage needs to be shown before a change is thought of.Whether there was an adequate advantage in dropping the u from honor might still be debated, but as to whether there would be an adequate advantage in the adoption of a complete phonetic Mahommedans, and perhaps one childlike and bland Confucianist with no | spelling there is no room for serious dispute.The only question that is open is l \u201cProf.Thomas P.Hughes, whose let-;

ve shall make it infinitely more difficult if We continue to enact .egielation the \u2018elfect \u2018of which is to strengthen the bdnds that bind us to the archipelago.The logic of that proposition went home to-a number of senatore, Democratic and 7 Republican, and the result was the notable - victory which was won, and whieh sounded the keynote of the public poHcy of this government with regard to The acquicition, retention, and control of subject colonies.Such an argument, however, is illogical and contrary to the facts.The United States is very little likely to release her hold upon the Philippines at this jnne- ture, and the Senate has refused them tariff concessions solely to please their friends the trusts.ee MR.FRANCIS ROGERS RECITAL Last night, at the Stanley Hall, à gun- tleman whose voice has limitations o! the most decided kind, and who is physically handicapped as a vucalist, gave a song recital which was much enjoyed by a large and fashionable audience.Mr.T'rancis Rogers is well known in his city, but probably his defects, and his ability to rise superior to them within certain bounds, have never been so foret- bly illustrated.He sang twenty songs\u2014 pin itself a trial to the best equipped vo- | calut\u2014and those Lwenty included five ; groups\u2014seventeenth and eighteenth century song-writers, Italian, French, Ger {Tvan and English; modern German, mod- \"ern French and Italian, English songs of the present day.and a quartette ot Irish ballads.This is covering a very wide field, and it would require an artist of fur greater abilities, natural and acqeir- ed, than Mr.Rogers possesses to do tull justice to it.Mr.logers was at his best in Richard \u2018lrausss beautiful \u201cTraum durch die Dammerung\u2019 two lof Rubinstein's, \u2018Der Asla, and \u2018ls blinkt der Thau,\u2019 and the dainty setting of Tom Moore's \u2018Good-night._thougn he theatricalized the latter.The Strauss scng he gave with delicacy of feeling and \"commendable restraint.He also sang ; Martini's delightful \u2018Plaisix d'amour, i with genuine artistic taste, aml his rendering of Handel's sadly-neglected but | very Fovely \u2018Whereer you walk\" was dig- ; nified with much feelmg- With the mod- trn songs, bowgrer, he did not succeed.In the Îtalian and French selevtions he Irish songs were simply ruined by a fore- ed atempt at dramatic rendering which was 1M-judged, unjustified, und in every case unsuited to the song.There is « great difference Letween infusing genuine pasion nto a song and tearing that passion to rage and tatters, but this fac 1s not recognized by Mi.Rogers.It 1s a pity that he does not recognize it, for his voice is of very limited compass, rough timbre, and small power, and without the exercise of due judgment he is apt te do himself less than justice.The la- plies responsible for the decoration vf the hall are to be reservedly congratulated upon having successfully hidden the appalling drop-scène which violatel the feelings of the audience at two previous concerts.They had put in its place a drab curtain, to which were attached some sprays of greenery of an unknown plant.This was an improvement, but there 1s room for more-nuch more yet Excelsior! \u2018right to determine their own political | sang without the necessary tone-colormg! and\u2019 modulation, and the English and;

423 Notre Dame St.West.oLD OTHER BUILDINGS ON NOTRE ; DAME STREET DAMAGED \u201c BY FIRE.: One of the historic landmarks of the city was affec:ed by tre dust evemng, which broke out shortly after s.x o\u2019clo in the Uak Hall Restaurant, the tw and-g-half story stone building at the south-eastern corner of Notre Dame and St.Peter streets, and entailed an estimated amage of $30,000.The building was occupied by the following firme: \u2014Messrs.1.Jobin & Co., wholesale millinery; Messrs.L.Hirshson & Co., dry goods importers; Mr.N.Prevost, silk waist manufactur: er ; Mr.Henri Girard, Oak Hall restaurant.À contingent of firemen from the cer tral division was on the scene shortly after the alarm had been sounded.hut on their arrival dense volumes of smoke were issuing from the windows of the establishment of Mr.N.Prevost, on the second floor.When the street door was broken in the stairs were seen to be in a blaze, and also the rear portion of | the store of Messrs.Hirshson & Co.The flames spread rapidly in all directions, and the firemen were powerless to save much goods in any of the establishments.This was due largely to thé wooden construction of the interior of, the building, the partitions being of on | inch boards and plaster, which afforded | : fuel to the flames, which spread rapidly | land produced dense clouds of noce | i that interfered greatly with the firemen; : The station of the Central Klectrie ; Company in the rear of the building on : St.Peter street was threatened.but ' j the firemen succeeded in confining the | flames to the building in which they ; originated.i oth Messrs.Prevost\u2019s and Hirsh- son's establishments are completely gut- ! ted.The upper floor of Tobin's premises was also destroyed, but the ground floor suffered only from water.e Oak Hall restaurant suffered slight damage by fire, but was flooded Ly water.The only inconvenience caused to the Central Electric Company was the suspension of the lighting service for sa: couple of hours, so as to enable the | firemen to work without danger of ut | cident.The distributing tower through : which the electric wires leave the building was specially watched by the firemen; to prevent the blaze reaching it.So little did the water cause disturbance in\u2018 the bazemént of the lighting\u2018sstation, that the boilers were kept going all \u2018the time, supplying heat constantly ta customers in the surrounding district.2 There is a difference of opinion among, the firemen as to where the fire stafged While the fire was in progress Fore-: man Dagenais, of No.6 station, fell! from one of the second story \u2018window to the street.He was not badly ° and was able to contièue at \u201coc 0 The salvage corps did good work Jobin's establishment, and the-.Hall restaurant, and.by quickly, 4 their covers succeeded in sAving Jhu dreds of dollars\u2019 worth of stock fro din by water.: The building occupied as the Oak Ha restaurant is one of the oldest land marks in the city.General Montgomerg and his officers made it their headquaë# ters in 1775, when Montreal #ns in the hands of the United States soldiers.| According to a carved stone over the | doorway, this building was erected if | 1767.In any case the rubble wall high-pitched \u201croof and broad chimne show it to belong to the olden time.1778 it was inhabited by a wealth merchant named Forretier.who evi dently was not in sympathy with t \u2018Continental\u2019 Army, which invade Canada that year, and made themselv® at home in his parlors.which we sumptuously furnished in fine wainscot: ing and tapéstry and furnished with thé best of furniture.Later on Forretien who had been thus crowded owt of hig.houses or rather into the garret.was prrested.After heing incarcerated for a dav at the Chateau de Ramezay.she was set frée.with a stern admonition from General Wooster.The building ja now the nroperty ot tha Centra] Electr'c Companv.Je is understood that hoth building and stock are wel)

consulted, decided that the procedure wad illegal, and therefore no business was fransaëted.The aldermen informally dis- cuesed the result of the Cantin judgment.It is held that under this a balance of $250,000, remaining for collection from proprietors, has been lost to the city, and as this was regarded as a safe asset provision wi hate to be made for it in some other way, so that the balance from the annaal joan available for public works will be very small, particularly as $50,600 must be paid this yéâr in connection with the widening of St.Antoine etreet.rtf DEATH OF AN AGED SISTER.Tho

known, but it is supposed to have started from an explosion of gasoline among the lighthouse supplies.The tire worked its way to the roof of the structure, which is in the centre of the McDougall block, und pretty badly gutted it, but it was fortunately confined to the one story.The genlogi- eal museum, with thousands of dollars of valuable exhibits, is in the same block and at one time was

electors of the poliing district in which the Cecil is situated, signed a petition objecting to the transfer of the license to Dion.When this petition was put in, counsel for Dion submitted that it had been signed in many instances under a misapprghen- sion, Several witnesses were thereupon heard.They included lawyers .and business men of the locality, who acknowledged their signatures on the petition.Several wit: nesses said they knew what they weré signing when they put their signatures to the petition, but the majority admitted that they had signed the petition as a matter of form and just because they had been asked to sign for a license, They had no objection to Dion and did net think that by signing the petition it would prevent | him from getting the license.The Commissioners, liowever, ruled that as the opposition to Dion contained a majority of the names of the qualified electors of the district, he could not have the license.\u2014\u2014er EDUCATIONAL SERMONS.Educational

Only 118 of these were on the revised ; roll when the Rev.J.I.Morin became pastor in 1888.were rereived into full communion.Only ; 33 of those who were on the roll when M.Morin was inducted, were connected ! with the church eight vears later when the Rev.C.E.Amaron took charge.During the last decade about 325 members have been received in full communion.During Dr.Amaron\u2019s ten years\u2019 pas- !torate.165 members have united with {this church.Since l'Eglise St.Tean has become a congregation of the united ! chureh.638 persons have been received bv the session.Of the 276 members who have been under the care of the present pastor, 175 have been removed i by death and emigration, principally the i latter.The present revised roll contains y 125 names.In 1885 the session reported 111 fami lies, 144 communicants, and $63 only paid towards the minister's stipend; for missions, 815.75; 8357 raised \u2018by the congre- Ten years later the session reports showed sixty families and 120 commun cants, but the sum of $250 paid towards stipend, $50 to missions, and $300 for current expenses, in all $600.On Jan.1, 1906, the session was able to report: 65 families and 125 members; | $575 paid toward stipend, $167 to mis- | sions.and $324 to current expenses; 10 | all $1,066.This brief sketch reveals some impor tant facts, which Dr.Amaron wishes | friends of French evangelization to bear in mind.During the last fifteen vears about three hundred and twenty- five persons have professed Christ, and during tite last twenty-eight vears, near- lv seven hundred.At least three-fourtha of these came from the Church of Rome.\u2018Thousands upon thousands,\u2019 adds Dr.Amaron, \u2018have heard the Gos- | pel message and we cannot but believe that many hundreda have been saved of whom we have no knowledge.large number of the children we have.educated are yearly drawn away from us to English-spenking churches and are helping their religious activities.We Jose our vital forces and whilst we do an \u2018immense amount of work which tells in the upbuilding of God\u2019s kingdom, we remain comparatively weak numerically and financially.\u2018In these circumstances may we not ask for the sympathy and continued.cooperation of the stronger sister churches?Ten vears ago.when this church was dedicated, a debt of ever \u2018twelve thousand dollars weighed on it.To-day, only two thousand five hundred dollars remains.The congregation is making real sacrifices to wipe out this debt by May 1.Will our friends assist us In this occasion, that the pastor may be free to give his whole time to missionary work\u201d Following are the officers of the church-and its societies: \u2014 Session\u2014The Rev.Calvin E.Amaron, M.A, DD.pastor: Dr.Rondeau, Mr.F.Lapointe, Mr.H.Contant, Mr.A.Monnet.elders.Board of Managers\u2014 Dr Rondeau.chairman: F.Lapointe and A.Monnet, treasurers: C.E.Amaron, secretary;

EXHIBITION The twenty-third spring exhibition of oils, water colors, pastels, drawings In black and white, architectural drawings, china, etc, was formally opened, last evening, in the Art Gallery rooms, Phil- hips square, and the opening was attended by crowds of art lovers.The exhib tien this year bas, perhaps, reached the high-water mark ot attainment in the history of the association, and Montreal Lite every reason to regard it with com- plusancy.The work, as usual, is un- cq Jal, because one of the chief objects of the association is to encourage merit in the ranhs of the amateurs, as well as to include a representative amounl vf profess onal work.Une oË the most interesting features of the succæeding exhib! tions, indeed, 1s to Loilow the art history ci the many aspirunts.A notice oŸ some of the exhibits is given here, and other exhibits will be noticed later.One of the pleasant features about the exhibition is the reappearance as an ex- hibtor of Mr.Suzor-Coté, who spiends so much of his time in Paris, and whose work has always a grat and well-de- served interest for all Canadian art lovers.It is evident from his work that he is still an earnest and seriols student.and the fact that his paintings are welcomed in the Paris Salon 15 sufficient proof of his standing in the Mecca of art.This year he shows several pictures of Cernay, a neighborhood the scenes in which ho is very fond of putting on canvas.| here are two winter scenes.One, \u2018Un coin de Cernay sous la neige\u2019 (158), stows a typical view of the village be vond a broken foreground.1t is a low- toned picture, and exhibits considerable breadth of treatment.The atmospheric effect is very Lappy, and suggests nothing so much as a dull wintry day with a snowstorm approaching.The clever handling of the foreground, and tie skilful manner in which the artist has introduced a winter atmosphere and a winter sky, make this painting a most prasing one.The other, \u2018Village de Cernay sur la neige\u2019 (157), is a remarkably happy example of snow-painting.Mr.Suzor-Coté avoids the error\u2014all too common\u2014of throwing white on his canvas in lumps and thinking that it has the appearance and textural quality of snow.Une of the gems of the exhibition is Mr, Coté\u2019s \u201cBaie de Margot, aprésmidi\u2019 (158), a simple marine, just an expanse of sea with yellow cliffs far beyond.The techinieal handling of color is masterly.The dark blues, purples, and gnrens of the waves blend perfectly to produce such a sea as one can see powhere but in the Mediterranean, and the fleeting iridescent green of wave summits, which so many marine painters try to depict with disastrous results, has been given with wonderful verisimilitude.Two no- tabl> features of this charming painting are the hollows of the waves and the sparing employment of foam as an adven- tious aid to effect.Mr.Suzor-Coté elects instead to obtain an admirable bulance by quivering sunlight on the faraway cliffs and by the simply painted sky, and he succeeds with distinction.The might and majesty and mystery of the sea are in the picture, and the dominant idea it suggests is that of irresistible, overpowering strength.It is the best of Mr.Suzor-Coté\u2019s paintings on exhibition this year, © It was by his exquisite still-life work that he became so favorably known to the art-loving public of Montreal, and he shows an exceedingly fin» example of that class of work, painted four years ago \u2014'Oignons, nature morte\u2019 (150).It is simple enough\u2014a copper pan and a bunch of Spanish onions\u2014but the fine sense of form, the accuracy of composition, and the tom: together with the entire absence of dead color in the picture, stamp it as a first-class type of this kind of work, and render it a valuable object-lesson to students who tvisb to find out for themselves how such good effects in such subjects are to be obtained.Taken in all, Mr.Suzor- Coté's exhibits are a delightful feature of the collection on view.Mr.Maurice Cullen egain shows some winter scenes.\u2018The St.Lawrence, winter\u2019 (45), is a painting of low and not too agreeable tone, with a good deal of strength in it.There is a village and church tower beyond the river, and the reflection is rather too obviously done.The sky, moreover, is nothing but a daub, and the \u2018color in its is absolutely dead.The chief feature of merit in the picture is the high bluff on the left, snow-covered and bleak, which has some appearance of verisimilitude.\u2018Twenty Below Zero\u2019 (47) would seem to require some explanation, in that it shows two extraordinary clouds of spray dashing up against a breakwater.This spray is by no means convincing, being, in fact, ugly, which can never be said truthfully of real spray.The cloud of spray on the left 1s like the genii rising out of the bottle.without form and void.In this case also the merit of the painting lies in the foreground, where there is by no means a bad idea of the texture of broken ice, with some luminosity in the nodules.Neither picture, however, shows Mr.Cullen at his best, \u2018A Winter Sunset, Cove Fields\u2019 (43), is a most theatrical picture.On the right there is a cliff which etxends almost into infinity, while an unconvincing yellow sun in a cadmium and pink halo, set in an equal- lv unconvincing sky, shines in a watery way over the landscape and throws two distinct and separate paths, one vellow and the other pink, side by side along the top of the cliff, and lends a pink and gellow light to the sea, which butts sharp up against a lot of blue from sonsowhere.A clump of alleged spruce clings tenaciously to the cliff in the fore- round\u2014a form of vegetation which rare- y lends poetry to any picture, and which certainly has not done so in this_instance.A much better picture is \u2018Cote au Coton\u2019 (44).admirable in its lighting and texture, particularly that of the enow In fact, Mr.Cullen is more successful with his snow in this picture, both in regard to tone, light and texture.than in any other he shows at this exhibition.The buildings themselves.while not graceful.are nevertheles well painted, and the glint of sunlight on the roofs takes gme well back into the distance, while the indeterminate manner in which the houses on the hill have been painted lends effectively to the vagueness of the scene and gives the whole picture a most phasing setting.\u2018Sunglow\u2019 (46) may be passed over without any further comment than that even if 1t were possible it would not be worth while.Though his oils are not very satisfactory, Mr.Cullen has distingwshed himself with his pastels.So tar as Mont real is concerned, he is unquestionably without a peer in pastel work.His pas tels have a strength, a breadth of treat-! ment, and that true velvet texture to the attainment of which all pastel-workers should aspire, but to which very few 1n- deed attain.Of the three pastels he shows, although all are very much alike in treatment, the unnumbered one, which depicts the Glace Row, is the most pleasing, both in technical handling and charm of composition.Its qualities of light are particulary fine, as is also Ils perspective.The great luminous cloud, half lit by the selting sun, half in darkness the road and snowbauks on cither side, misty with the shades of approaching evening, and the house-rrofs with the ghnt of sun-glow upon them, are al convincing, full of true feetmg, all well done.\u2018A Laurentian Stream\u2019 (216) -> almost as good.The foreground js jar ticularly striking,* with 1cs blue lot upon snow.contrasted by water m whee a clump of dark green spruce in the rnd: dle distance 1s rellected, and accentuated by chrome light.The sky and the perspective are not quite so happy, however.and somewhat disturb the quietude and untroubled peace of the foreground.In the remaining pastel, Petit Cap, Levis (217), the loreground is a little too theatrical to please the aesthetic eye, and there is an unpleasant note of ugliness ii 1t, though it must be confessed that it uifords a marked contrast with, and serves to accentuate, some very attractive quahities in the painting of the dimly-liv town beyond.Tne sky, In quiet greeus and greys, is distinctly good.Ten pictures from the brush of Mr.Dyonneu are esh.bited \u2018of which three are portraits, one à genre piece of a boy playing a mandolin, and the rest land scapes of the Lac Tremblant district.Ot the portraits, that of Mr.Heibronuer :s perhaps the best.1t is an exellent hike ness; the tlesh tones are good.and the modelling is very strong.Iu ali three portraits, however, the paling of cloth stuffs is the best feature.\u2018Boy playing a mandolin\u2019 (54) does not call for detail: ed comment.\u2018The hands are very well painted, but the mandolin is not well modelled.In the wood (57) possesses a distinct sense of poetic Ieeling, with its fresh greens, cool krowns, and general brightness and good lighting.\u2018Morning at St.Adele\u2019 (53) is by far the best of Mr.Dyounet's pictures on exhibition.It depicts a morning in autumn.The fore ground, of high grass strewn with rock, has just sufficient detail m it to give depth to the whole, which 1s painted both convincingly and pleasingly.À flaming red maple tree in the middle distance strikes a- note of distinction; while the village on the hillside beyond the trees, the quiet sky, and the cleverly rendered sense of autumn mist over the whole landscape, combine to make a very satisfactory picture, gapd in composition, in poetié feeling, and in technique.Among the portraits which constitute the exhibit of Mr.Robt.Harris are some which.are equal to any work he has done hitherto.One uf these is of Mrs.F.: Cleveland Morgan (92), an admirable ex-' ample of Mr.Harris at his best.The modelling of features, head, and bus: is: perfect; the flesh tones are excellent, per- ticularly where the arm shows through, the lace sleeve; the hair is, In texture, and breadth of handling, dchghtful, and: the eyes are particularly well pamted.; The bodice, too, is a fine piece of worl; and the lighting of the portrait is wholly satisfactory.Mr.Harrie has every! reason {to be proud of suçh a piciuve.Equally admirable is his portrait of Mrs.Henry Joseph and Master Joseph (94).Here again the modelling is superb, and the face painted with masterly skill, the, workmanship throughout being very fine: indeed, In two others, those of Mrs.W.Stanway (91) and Mrs.Robert Lynd-1 say (93), the dress stuffs arc beautifully! done, the mauve bodice añd sage green Indién shawl in the latter and the texture\u2019 of the material in the lormer \u2018being as, good as any one could desire.À fine: likeness, too, is that of Mr.Hugh Gra-: ham.Mr.Harris's work in this oxhi-i bition will certainly maintain his high; reputation as a portrait painter.! Mr.G.Horne Russcll exhibits two »ils.} One, \u2018Plonghing\u2019 (149).15 a scene in thel late fall\u2014a furrowed field, with two gry | horses ploughing, a belt of trees and a misty landscape in the -dfstance.The horses are well modelled, and nttural in pose.and there is a sense of out-door fceling.about the whole picture which is very pleasing, though it is mot the strongest work of Mr.Russell's that has been seen at the Art Gallery.The other, \u2018In shallow waters\u2019 (15), is a small panel of two black and white cows standing in a stream.The nearest cow is well drawn.but the other is a trifle awkward in its foreshorteningz.\u2018There is an excellent tone about the picture, however, and the atmospheric effect is rê- freshingly cool.Four oils, painted more or less in pointillist style, constitute Mr.H.Beau's contribution to the exhibition.Mr.Beau has not made sufficient progress In the methods of the school he affects, however, to enable him to void a suggestion of spottiness and mottled coloring in most of his work.His spots of color do not blend ns they should, just 8 those of the creators of the school did not when they began their experiments in color-spot juxtaposition; that will doubtless come later.These faults are obvious in his \u2018Ideal\u2019 There is nothing idvilic about it.There are three atrociously ugly trees which no amount of akilful painting could succeed in making interesting for a moment.Then the sky is a mass of little spots of color which never look anvthing but spots, from whatever point of view they are regarded.The tone of the whole is hard and flat, and the general effect is one of crude coloring.This picture is not a BUCCEss, \u2018A Landscape\u2019 (18) shows a cottage, three trees, and part of a field of high grass.The trees look uncomfortable, and the light purple which has been used to deepen the meadow effect does not blend with the green, the result * one picture.(8), being that the field looks like a mass of 3 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS (i - \u201c vor ç r ES +.strips of color and the approximation | the lines of the kneeling figure, +he folds to grass is fant.Still, there is a feel ing of poetry even in the attempt to portray the scene even in the attempt to better than in the otner picture.\u2018A Study in Red\u2019 (17) is a rather pleasing : picture of a girl in red skirt and white | Jacket, seated im a careless attitude om 4 ] The skirt is a vivid red, | ing in style somewhat towards impres- painted with breadth and considerable | sionism, but remarkable for the strength | treedom, and yet the texture is excel- | and virility of the drawing, ; The play cal skill- displayed iñ the handhing of the: of light on this red has been cleverly ; subject, and the excellent painting of; given, and in its general features the : hands and red \u2018tunic.a low lounge.lent and the folds gracefml.picture is pleasing, save for the faulty | draughtsmanship which drew the lett !

river with farm buildings half-hidden by! trees beyond.The tone is good, and! the atmosphere in the picture above thei average.The trees on the left in the sha-: dow are painted admirably, and lend a! color note to the scene that is most! agreeable.Among the best work of Mr.| Gagnon is thal in his genre pie- tures.One is called \u201cAn old woman eating soup\u2019 (64), and is most \u2018n- teresting.An old woman is standing by her fireplace taking soup oft of a pet.evidently with great relish.Kaually happy is Mr.Gagnon in his \u2018Practical meal\u2019 (65), in which an old laborer 1s taking some cheese and bread.The mmod- elling of the face is excellent, and ihe texture of the laborer\u2019s shirt a fine piece of painting, while the cut loaf and knife are most effectively rendered.Here rich browns are used to great advantage, and the tone is delightful.The contributions of Toronto artists include some work of notable merit, For instance, Mr.G.A.Reid shows a pie- ture called \u2018A study in green\u2019 (138)\u2014a study of a girl seated in a contemplative attitude, loosely clad in flowing drapery.Tor sheer excellence of modelling of bust, shoulders, and arm, this picture is fully equal to any other in the gallery.the portraits apart.\u2018The pity is that in his lighting Mr.Reid did not pay more atten-| tion to the relative values of shadow «nd light on flesh.Another notable work by the same painter is à large decorative panel, entitled \u2018Spring\u2019 (139), in which a female figures in blue is kneeling at the brink of a river and picking irises.The \u2018 1 , ling is good, the ; Lamp Effect | and the texture of the fur cap equally (19) is far and away the best.It-ig a go, the picture being characterized other | Lis well-known.style, and a couple of l'extraordinary.sky.pamd \u2018Spring twilight\u2019 (142).b> I have \u2018here,\u2019 he.said, \u2018a resolution |: 1 .3 ue, | pagsed durin absence, and ant and the tone of the picture is wholly de- | the advice of The Board ony as to in which the model; of an Indian\u2019 (28), i flesh tone excellent.wise by \u2018the vigor of its drawing.Not so convincing is another, \u2018A little girl in red\u2019 (26), the figure being rather suff and awkward, though the red cloth is exceedingly well painted.Another, a figure holding a mandoline, callèd Prelude, lacks sentiment, but is well drawn.\u2018Earlv morning\u2019 (30) is ap interesting sky and an uninteresting river scene, and \u2018The Lower St.\u2018 Lawrenc:\" (29) \u2018is a pleasing enough landscape, though mot strong in any sense.Mr.John Hammond has a scene at St.John, \u2018Low tide\u2019 (85), chdracterisftic ot scenes, of which the latter, \u2018Bru- Bs!

He was pertectly proportioned, had wonderfully large and beautiful brdwn eyes, and was remarkably active upon his diminutive, legs When Bebe was about seven years old King Stauislaus Lescynski, of Poland, who was then living in Lorraine, heard what a wonderful little fellow he was, ! and ordered the child's father to bring him to court.The man carried bis son to the royal palace in a small basket.As the father came into the king's presence the king asked him very gruffly why he had not brought his son with him.The man answered this question by opening the basket on bis arm and drag: ging forth the.child.Stanislaus said at once that Beb: must become his court dwarf.Bebe\u2019s father was induced to accede to this proposal with a good bit .of royal Polish gold, and Bebe was made a regular follower of the king's court.At the time of his introduction to court life Bebe was just twenty inches tall and weighed eight pounds.He sent IDNEY PILLS Y=; : NTR NRE NIN XpRlABETES t famous appearance in this rather curious role took place at a dinner which Stanislaus gave to the Ambassador of a great power im 1700.In the middle of the table was an immense sugar castle.Shortly before the guests rose to leave, the door of the castle opened and a knight in full armor stepped out with a drawn sword in his hand.All the guests thought the knight must be some wonderful automaton which the king had obtained from the skilled mechanics across ihe Rhine.He wasn\u2019t however.He was nome other than little Bebe\u2014Philadelphia \u2018Press.\u2019 DIVINE BREATHINGS.SATURDAY, MARCH 2.WHAT SAITH THE SCRIPTURES?These words occur several times.The whole of the New Testament is founded upon the Old.It contains hundreds of uotations from what was regard:d as the word of God.Its teaching wus authoritative, its predicitions were certain où fultilment.Their teaching was loved by saints of old.Their authority was always upheld by the Lord Jesus and His messengers, and formed the basis of all they taught.In modern times much ct the teaching consists of man\u2019s thoughts, sometimes With a few words of Scrip:ure, as n headpiece, or motto.Jesus set a pattern of Bible teaching we \u2018vould do well to follow.He opened the eye to see and the mind to understand the Seriptures, and the heart to receive the truth.The apostles taught m words given by the Holy Spirit.These are as much the teaching: of Christ as His own words in the Gospels.He could not tench all His disciples needed to know while He was with them.(Jno.xvi.12, 13.)

Mies Pemberton would never have thought of buying such a coat for herself, tut for tire other women of God.amid the cried cold, she clamed the luxury of 18 rermth.But if the Dorcas Society bad survived the shock of the cloak, what wouN they have said to the thick, warm flannels, flae and soft, the stockings and rolls of cloth, ecme tablecloths and napkins, some books and a lew pictures and nick-nacks?\u2014for Mes Pemiberton had left restraint at home.She became reckless as the day waned, ond bargains grew apace.She added blankets and a Slack drees, and then tim- {diy approached the salesman who had sold her the overcoat eardier in the day.and found to her joy that a modest suit of clergyman's black clothes was not beyond her means.Ste waxed confidential and showed the «alesman the letter that he \u2018might help her select the right elze, and he, being a man with a heart, grew inier- eetal and offered to speak to the head of the firm about a little discount, seeing 1t wae for a missionary, aesuring her that the head of tte firm was a benevolent man.Tren ba slipped away and returned shortly with a few shirts and collars and cuffs, which he said he hoped she would let him send.He said he did not heve much re- jigion Mhimeelf, but he liked to help it along when be saw tbe real thing.The teams gathered in M'es Pemberton\u2019s eyes.ond when she put her hand on bis coat sieeve and seid, \u2018God bless you,\u2019 the man felt as embarrassed es if God had actually based bim.She made him wrap his card child.It was not until the last article wus pscked and the box actually off to the freight station that the president of the Dorcas Society actually called.Miss Pem- derton had sent word to Miss Tabb that she neel not write to the Board, as she was sending a bo.The president said she had come to look over and estimate the valie of the articles to be sent.Miss Pemberton knew, of course, that it was tleir custo'n to have all these things go \u2018mto their yearly report.She eald she saw no need fer such undue haste, better delay the box till the ladies had their things ready, as of course what one person could send would debut a trifle to report from eo large a church as thoire.It wes kind of Miss Pemberton, of course, but it was est to let things take their natural course and not be in too great a hurry.Mims Pemterton had not yet recovered from her shopping intoxication of the day before.She was very poiite, but she made that president understand that her box wus not being sent from the Dorcas So- crety, that the things im it were all new, and there were plenty of them, and that nothing was to be estimated or reported.She said sha saw no reason why the Dorcas Society should not send another box if they chos2, and she showed uaexpecied skill in closing the interview.The gingham patch was firmly fixed in place and the garment of many textures and colons Tuefully put out of eight before \u2018the missionary man,\u201d as eome of the chll- dren of the outposts of bis parish calied : Tim, returnel from the dismal village.| It was growing dark.The missionary's |= fe prepared some badthr for the delicious cornmeal\u201d cakes for supper, and sighed.Tlere was not even a drop of molusses to.eat en them to-night.Then ohe eat dewn to wait in the darkness.Oil was ekpen- eive, and vary little light glimmered from the grate of the old stove.} When she beard the creak of tbe runners én the snow she ghted the lamp, tut the horse did not plod elowly on to the barn as usual.Instead, there wae a stamping and thumping at the kitchen docr, and suddenly tlre door buret open [with a bang, and a large box appeared.It | Was so high and ao \u2018broad that 't entirely hid the miesionary, who was propellimg it, and whose face shone with his emotions and his efforts.Only the faithful old horse felt endideniy deft out in the cold just then.\u2018Dorothea,\u2019 fald the minister, later, when the horse was munching in quiet surprise his unusually generous eupper and marveling over en extra pidoe of carpet that covered his cold shoulders, and the minls- ter and hie wife, their supper still waiting to be baked, stood together over the open box, \u2018Dorothea, you are a gift from God, the best gift a man ever had\u2014but here ls another!

Dr.William Hall, who has for some time been carrying on a movement at Leede for the provision of one meal a day for & jldren in the poor elementary schools, bas discovered somy curious facte as to the physical deterioration which is going on among the underfed population of the alums.\u2018In welghing and measuring the obildren of the poor echoods of Leeds,\u201d he said, \u2018I was struck with the difference between Jew and Gentile.1 examined 3,700 children, and at eight years old the poor Jew- tsh child wes on the average three pounds heavier and two inches taller than his Gen- tite comrade.At ten the Jew has the advantage of 6 14 pounds in weight and 21% inches in height, and at twelve the difference is 7 pounds in weight and 2% inches in height.Fifty percent of the Gentile children bad rickets, and oniy seven percent of the Jews.\u2019 One of the most striklng marks of the degenerate child, Dr.Hall found, was the rabit of mouth breathing, due to a defective development of the bony framework of the upper part of the mouth.The Jew- fh child has a broad, flat palate, a firm bcpy roof to his mouth, which guards the breathing chambers above and providre a rcomy air passage, which is still further protected hy the promiment nasal bridge.\u2018That nose was not given to the Jew for ucthing,\u201d remarked the doctor.The Gentile child, on the other hand, has often a high, vaulted palate, crumpled in from want oz firm bone, so that the mest perfect of all foods\u2014its mother's milk.The poor Gentile mother does not cook for her Jitth ones tke her Jewigh neigh- tar.\u2018She Las to go to work at the mill.(Of course, we are talking of the poorest dietricts in & North Country factory town.)

ENDEAVOR COLUMN THE WORLD\u2019S CONVENTION AT GENEVA.The World's Christian, Endeavor Convention will be held this year at Geneva, in Switzerland, towards the end of July.| A \u2018special excursion to the convention city will leave Boston early in July, and already.the accommodation on the specially chartered steamer has been practically all booked by Endeavorers America, who.purpose attending the convention, © : Dr.and Mrs.Clark are at present in Europe arranging for this convention, which promises to be the best ever convened outside-of America, Two members of our local union have signified their intention of arranging to attend the Geneva Convention, so that Montreal is likely to bo well represented.The Union would be glad to know of any others who purpose going to Europe this summer with the intention of taking in the convention.THE NEXT INTERNATIONAL AT SEATTLE.At the meeting of the trustess of the United Society held in New York some time ago, it was finally decided to accept the invitation of Seattle to meet there in 1907.A strong committee has already been appointed to manage the convention, and a -successful gathering is already assured.Seattle is a far cry from Montreal, but we hope to have some representatives there when the time comes.THE LOCAL SHIELD CONTEST.The societies of Montreal are reminded of the near approach of the closing dates for the shield contest.The society reporting the highest average increase of membership, and the highest average attendance, will get possession of the shield.Calvary Congregational Society won the trophy last year, and the society is justly proud of its magnificent record made last season.They are working hard to retain it again this year, which will: mean; permanent ownership.THE ORICIH OF CATARRA Is TEREST Eut

=.{ THE JAPANESE FAMINE FUND.The first society to take action upon the recommendation of the local union executive in regard to the Japaness Famine Relief work was the West End Methodist Church Society.Fully one hundred young people attended this week's meeting, which was devoted to the interest of this cause, and an offering was taken to be forwarded tc headquarters immediately.Westminster Christian Endeavor So ciety will meet to-morrow evening after the negular church service for the same purpose.Mr.Bates, of the Wesleyan Theological College, will address the meeting.A BAD HABITA number of our societies have the habit of closing for two or three monthe in the summer.The Local Union desires to influence the societies against taking such action this coming summer, in order that the Christian Endeavor movement may be strengthened for the work next fall and winter.The executive committee considers that it is not necessary to disband for the summer, and when such action is taken by the societies it simply means two or three months\u2019 time lost, with a decided influence of an un: desirable character upon the society and its work for a period of six or eight weeks after its meorganization.To be really effective, the Christian Endeavor Society must be at work fifty-two weeks in the year.There is no ned for holidays in the Christian work, As far as possible, the societies should meet at home every week, and Monday, or whatever day ie chosen by the society, should be religously set aside for the Christian Endeavor meeting.There are certain occasigns when it is mecessary to cancel the negular meeting, but such occasions are rare, and the society members could easily arrange to meet on some other evening in the week.Such an event would provide an opportunity for the society to meet at the close of the evening services on the Sabbath day, when an especially attractive programme could be prepared, and a special effort made to introduce the strangers to the society life.During the summer months a little extra effort on the part of the Lookout Committee in the way of checking up the attendance of the members who are in town, togather with some good work by the Prayer Meeting Committee in planning for interesting meetings, would do away to a large extent with the falling off in attendance usually complained of at this season of the year.One local

at this meet: ing.and the young people could take charge of the meeting every alternate week.This would tend to keep the interest in Endeavor matters alive during the summer, and the reorginization in

teachers having no idea of how a healthy child should look is astonishingly large,\u2019 says John Epargo, in connection with the record of an attempt to discover the proportion of underfed children in the public schools of New York city.His book, \u201cThe Bitter Cry of the Children\u2019 (Macmillan Co., of Canada, Toronto, $1.50).rakes up a variety of subjects connected with the distressing conditions which industrial change, quite as much as a new and ignorant foreign element, -18 responsible for.\u2018The industrial revival in the South has been attended by the growth of a system of child slavery al most as bad as that which attended the industrial revolution in England a century ago.while many northern states show almost as bad a record.Children workmg in factories at night, children employed in all sorts of dangerous 0¢- cupations, furnish statistics and dents that are far.from pleasant to read.and many pages are represented .by the summary.\u2018It is a sorry but indisputable fact that where children are employed the most unhealthiul work 1s generally given them.That the children do not always object, but are often eager to get into work like their companions, only emphasizes another side of the evil, sees in the wage-earner a person independent of family control, At the age of fourteen, and often ten or twelve, the boy or girl enters the factory and begins to be partially self-supporting.\u2018Discipline is at once relaxed at the very time when it is most necessary.The fact that strong characters occasion- aily emerge from such surroundings has doubtless blinded thinking people to the effect 12 would naturally have on a child to be placed among rough strangers, of ten a mixed crowd of men and women, just wheu the school-teacher's Influence nad ceased and that of the parent was La'f-constiously relinquished.The case of very small children kept at work is une that seems more remediuble.Chil- \u2018dren of five are found working in fac- rofies in the South, and in sunless rooms, where their mothers make art ticinl flowers and beaded slippers, the little fingers kept long hours at simple tasks thet facilitate the manufacture at the of the child's play and sometimes of its sleep.More frequently children are found who, making all al- jowance for the stunting nature of their occupations, must be considerably under the age their parents have sworn to.The temptaéion to evade the law in this oi course, particularly strong that do not appreciate echool privileges.Some children also are at work becuuse they are consilered too stupid for school.\u2018They were sick and backward in school, and instead of that special care being given them that their condition demanded.they were removed altogether from the school\u2019s influence.\u201d Several European countries are going far ahead of Britain and America in the care of their future citizens.Berlin, to quote an example that may be regarded as extreme, instead of stopping at medical inspection, has homes in the country to which weakly and consumptive children are sent.There they get treatment as well as gchooling for a time, and usually return quite well.School dinners are a regular part of the educational system in gome foreign municipalities.Mr.Spargo says those who object to free schooling are at least more consistent than those who elaborate a fine school system, to be wasted on cigldren physically incapacitated to benefit by it.\u2018À very large proportion of the children who are mentally dull need only to be properly fed in order to enable their minds to develop normally.expense wav 1s, amnng races IN THE FIELD OF HISTORY.Some sixteen years ago the eminent Pilgrim and church historian, Henry Martyn Dexter, D.D., LL.D., died,
