| BAR ROOM WINDOWS, AN EFFORT BY THREE RIVERS SALOONISTS TO BREAK A | GOOD LAW.\\ _ An effort is being made !o revoke a by-law recently passed by the Munie1-\u2018 pal Council of Three Rivers obliging hotel and saloon-keepers to have their barroom placed in such a :nanner that persons can look into them from outside, and also forbidding the placing of curtain blinds, or any other obstruction in the windows.Commenting on the matter, the 'Ac- tion-Sociale\u2019 expresses the hope that the City Council will adhere to its first decision, and says: \u2018We know three reasons that can be invoked in favor of obstructing the doors and windows of barrooms \u2014 the .:eed to conceal habits known to be objectionable; a desire on the part of the owner of the premises to hude from the public the disgusting scenes that take place at his counter, and perhaps also a desire to continue his traffic in forbidden hours, without being detected by the officers of the law.if there are anv other reasons let them be mentioned.for we cannot see the validity of any of these three.If it is a shameful thing to frequent barrooms, to drink in the same glass as all the drunkards of a city, we cannot see what society would gain by reducing the weight of such shame.1f the darkness or shade furnished by curtains helps orgies, the cause of such disgusting scenes must be removed as soon as possible.\u201d Finally, if opaque doors and windows favor clandestine and illicit trade, it is the duty of the authorities to intervene.first to ston an abuse, and also to do justice to those who respect the law.We trust that the Three Rivers aldermen will consider it an honor to have inaugurated such a movement.\u2018l'hey may rest assured that by maintaining their first decision, they \u2018will give the whole country a proéf of energy and perseverance, and will also furnish an example that will certainly be followed.CIRCUS COMING TO THE ARENA.Montreal is to be one of the seventeen cities that will have an opportunity to see the New York successful spectacle, \u2018The Society Circus,\u201d at \u2018the Arena each afternoon and evening of the week commencing Monday, Sept.14.The cities included in the route are Montreal, Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago, St.Paul, Omaha, Denver, Kansas City, St.Louis, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburg, Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.Twenty cars are necessary to transport this attraction, of which five are required for the &cen- ery.A massive setting depicting a scene in Venice introduces a large aggregation of the world\u2019s most renowned performers.Over four thousand lights are used in the display to make the production scenically perfect, and everything nual picnic will be held to lle a be tending toward a most complete hippo- | drome has been brought into play.he | ment in their position therefrom.managing director of this attraction claims that their aim will be to give the public the most for their money\u2014as the prices for this engagement at the Arena have been reduced.Waghburn\u2019s herd of performing elephants, the fearless Ar- nolda and his leopards, the Kitzibani Imperial Japanese troup of 30 jugglers and conjurers, Camille Del Monte, in a high school riding act, Shiek Hadji Tshar smd twelve whirling dervishes, France Reed, daring bareback rider;

regularly called, and that the Fabrique had not the right to pass such a resolution, as the construction of à pres.hytery and any loan required for that purpose, are questions to be decided by the bishop and the people.An interesting point will arise in this case from the tact that the parish of St.Pierre aux Liens is formed partly of a portion of the terntory of the old parish of Lachine and partly of a portion of the old perish oË Montreal, 3 i The orator, } pear Garg .Go NEW GOODS ARRIVING DAILY JUST RECEIVED Dress and Gendarmes shades.IMPORTATION OF We are offering extra values in Venetians, Broadeloths, Ladies\u2019 Cloths, Chiflon Cloths, etc., in all the desirable shades, OUR NEW FALL Goods including the New Paon in all the TWEEDS AND PHANTOM STRIPES New Striped and Checked Tweeds;

va 20 T|W|T/|F FM 12 M 3 10 * es f 1 [7118 24 25 31].12 19 26 13 27 SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1908.Mr.Keir Hardie\u2019s visit to America is, according to an announcement att-ibut- ed to himself, for the purpose of amalgamating the trades unionists and socialists of the United States and Canada into one political party.One would think that the state of public affairs in Great Britain at present would give Mr.Hardie ample scope for the employment of his chosen vocation.He is the leader of the Labor Socialist party, and represents in the British Parliament an amalgamation such as he proposes to form on this side of the Atlantic.It is a big undertaking, but just of a sort that would appeal to a man of his intellectual grasp and political knowledge.Having obtained prominence as labor leader and gained notoriety by his speeches in India, while on a trip around the world, he is inspired by his success with the idea that he can do for the labor unions and the socialists what they have-been.unable to do for themselves.His notion that he can unite these parties into cne political parly, embracing those in the United States and in Canada, is worthy of a Napoleonic gehius, which despises geography and conflicting national institutions, and looks with contempt on all] social forces and differences opposed to his view of what should be the prevail-{ ing principle.Though some trade un- jons in the United States have declared in favor of socialism, the great pudy of them have frequently gone on record as opposed to it.Those in this Dominion are even to a greater degree inclined to keep the socialist element in subordination.Mr.Hardie was defeated when he ran for parliament ~s a candidat of the Labor-Socialist party.It was not until that party abandoned its leading tencis and, by so doing, became uniled with the labor union party, that he secured le explained phenomena.\u2018of the theory is if one\u2019s every thought mation on similar lines on this continent can be effected and that ne js the more capable of bringing it about.Perhaps he is But he-is in the way of finding out that the spirit of individual libe-ty as opposed to class dictatron is pretty strong among the workinz men on this side of the sea, and that the introduction of a dominant socialism, even if avcom- plished, would cause a revolt in the rank and file, and greatly deplate the crganiza- tions.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The reported success of the wireless telephone in communication between the Eiffel Tower in Paris, and a point on the Breton coast three hundred miles away, seems to mark another era in the progress of invention for the increase of human intercourse.In one way or another the facilitating of human inter course has been the chief end of all the greatest inventions and improvements of last century, which is a very suggestive if not prophetic fact.This one seems almost too horribly intimate and a ful filment of the saying, not pleasing to imperfect.beings, that what is spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.The wireless telegraph and the wireless telephone have seemed almost irresistibly to sugggest an explane- tion of, or at least an analogy for, tele pathy.The theory bas been set forth in capable quarters that, just as the impalpable electric medium carries the voice for an indefinite distance, to be gathered up intact by a sympathetic tympanum far away, so some unknown medium carries abroad the operations of each man\u2019s brain to repeat themselves in any brain that is sufficiently attuned by some subtle sympathy.Not only so, but more or less does each one\u2019s thought and feeling influence all other thinking and feeling, thus accounting for the intensification, and often wild exaggeration, of sentiment when many are thinking or feeling in mutual accord.Thus when murder seizes on a mob, cach one does wilder things than any member of the mob would do separately, and when faith takes possession of a community of believers they soar to higher Leights of divine sympathy than any vne of the number could attain to were the atmosphere about him negative or influencing in an opposite direction; hence the value of public worship when real.The faith that heals the soul is of the same sort as that which, under various forms of religion, heals the body, and is greatly strengthened by mutual support.This theory that thought and sentiment can pass from mind to mind and can occasionally do so in almost undiminished force is no new one.In one way or

HALIFAX.The \u2018objection so vigorously made ta the granting to the Canadian Pacific of running rights over the Intercolonial between St.John and Halifax, namely, that for every train put on by the Cana- diau Pacific one would be taken off by the Intercolonial, does not seem to carry much weight.The country can.hardly forbid the Canadian Pacific to extend its system to Halifax\u2014the Nova Bco- tians, of course, want it to do so\u2014and if so extended the same result, whateven it might be, would follow that would follow the granting of running rights over the Intercolonial.I'he objection made to the amount which the Canadian Pacific is willing to pay is in a very dif ferent category.Assuming that the Pacific bas so much the advantage in connections that the result Mr.Em- merson prophesies would follow, and that, to put te extreme case, the Canadian Pacific would entirely supersede the Intercolonial, it is obvious that the rent paid oy the Canadian Pacitia should in that case be enough to coven all the burdens on that part of .the Intercolonial line, or at least the whole cost of replacing that line.It is equally evident that the payments made as rent land share of maintenance should in any case divide those burdens in proportion to the extent to which each used the line.No fixed payment of a hundred and thirty thousand dollars a year with a fixed share of cost of upkeep, could deal with the problem.\u2018Lhe payment should increase with the use to which the line is put.lt is against public policy that two roads shoulda have to be maintained between given points, if the traffic can be accommodated on one.and it would always pay better to double the track on one road than to run a single track on two\u2014and so forth.Where no new country is to bis

gs allowed to build.$ Apart, however, from the demand of the Canadian Pacific for running righfts, Mr.Emmerson seems to ignore, thofugh it is, of course, impossible that{ he should ignore it, the speedy apprqach of the Grand Trunk Pacific.with same demand to use the tracks of tie Intercolonial, and with necessarily tlae like result.The Grand Trunk Paciffic will take care of all the traffic that no goes to the Intercolonial from the Gran Trunk Railway.Mr.Emmerson pre sumably expects that when the Gran Trunk Pacific gets to Moncton, it willl also want running rights to Halifa) and failing these, will insist on dup cating the Intercolonial.1f that tain business ?Every pound of freigtpt obtained by the Grand Trunk Railwgy destined for the Maritime Provinces travel over the Grand Trunk Pacific.and every pound of freight obtained By the Canadian Pacific will continue fo travel over that company\u2019s lines to Sit.John, and from St.John to Halifax over its own lines, if the traffic betwegn those two cities is so profitable as Mr.Emmerson and others make out.Mk.Butler, the Deputy Minister of Railwayjs, says the Intercolonial should ve double- tracked between these two cities.\u2018It there is business there for a double track, both the great systems will \u201cpe in the field for it.Nova Scotia gente- rally is said to be favorable to the Cla- nadian Pacific obtaining an entrance to Halifax either over *he Intercolonfal tracks or tracks of its own.It seetms like a simple problem in railway ech - nomy as to which method is for all paj- ties the best.It may be regarded still a problem whether two rival syfs- tems can ever satisfactorily use te same tracks.It would be all the mofe difficult a problem if the tracks belo ed to one of the two rivals.But whee the tracks to be used by both belo to the government, it seems as thou; a good opportunity, was offered to ma a step towards the probable final r1: that all highways must belong to 4] public and shall be open on equal ter to all users.Mr.Blair.who was : expert in such matters, had confiden: that even a privately owned line Ii) the Lake Superior stretch cf the Ca.ña- dian Pacific could be made use

Welsh churchmen\u2014it was a live quéfetion in Wales even in Gladstone\u2019s tim@\u2014 and it would seem that, after long tghvail, the desired results are about to bff obtained Recently Mr.Asquith and Mr.Lloyd- George gave a sympathetic reception to a deputation of Welsh members and representatives of the Frue (Churches in Wales, who pleaded the cause of disestablishment, and were givén a plain assurance that it is the intention of the government next sessioh to introduce such a measure.Mr.quith assured the deputation of the upqualified sympathy he and his colleagues have with the Welsh Disestablishment cause, the support accorded to which in Wales \u2018was unprecedented in political history\u2019 Mr.Asquith went on to gay re was sure that no one in the pringipality resented the time the government had spent on measures such as the Education Bill, the Old Age Pension Bill, the Licensing Bill, and on gther.weasures of social and po- btiui*reform which vitally affect Wales, but he realized that the time was come for patience to be rewarded and former pledges to be redeemed.So the promise was made that the government would next session do its part, and the rest must be left to the tender mercies of the House of Lords.However much ar little the present government may accomplish during the life of this parlia- ment\u2014and it has already done much to ameliorate the conditions of the great majority of the people of the United Kingdom\u2014no one can deny it the meed of praise that courage and consistency deserve.It has gone on fulfilling its election pledges unmoved by adverse by- elections, the House of Lords, \u2018tariff reformers,\u201d and other antagonists, and, if it falls, it will surely fall with its face to the foe.Mr.Asquith will at least be able to say for his government, should it end with the next general elections\u2014 and wbo can say?\u2014in the words of WE.Henley: \u2018In the fell clutch of cireum- \u201cstance I had not winced

behalf of peace.Almost all national events are glorifications of fighting prowess and populations go crazy over .military heroes.Every soldier who has been on campaign is a hero in the common view.Fighting for one\u2019s country is the one overt act of patriotism\u2014the one thing which the nation as a nation has to lure men to.School literature has always been full of fighting lore to which has, in modern days, been added martial poetry, as the staple method of evoking youthful ardor.The boy\u2019s literature of the day, both the moral and the immoral, is all about fighting.War is the one thing with which we fill the imagination of each rising generation, and yet there is hardly a nation under the sun that does not regard war as the greatest of calamities and that does not desiderate a condition of world wide peace.There are many eigns of a revulsion from this not altogether glorious glorying.Among the most interesting subjects dealt with at the recent International Peace Congress in London was that of peace education.The Congress was unanimously of opinion that the echolastic authorities in each country should make a pronouncement in favor of an Inter-Governmental Congress on Peace Education.The International Federation of Teachers has undertaken, 80 far as primary instruction is concerned, the realization of the programme drawn up by the Peace Congress, and other grades of education will surely follow in those steps.In France, the popular university extension movement has accepted the peace progrdèmme, and has held numerous meetings for its promulgation, and a prize of fifteen hundred francs is being offered in France for a book which shall be a peace vade mecum for teachers, showing them how best to give instruction in the peace doctrine, while at the same time inculcating a love of country and citizenship.The Congress encourages students to obtain their education in various countries.By so doing they would get a better balanced view of international questions, and make friendships that would be of great value in the cause of \u2018peace.Mrs.Gower, a London delegate, informed the Congress that in September an International Moral Congress will take place in London, and stated that a Moral Education League is in existence which iz doing a valuable work in many schools.A committee of the Peace Congress having in a suggested code urged that the young should be taught that the constant and final object of existence was not alone \u2018a glorious death,\u2019 M.Tarrida del Marmol made a fiery protest in two languages.\u2018You are \u2018 hinting at the death of a soldier,\u201d he cried.\u2018That is not a glorious death.\u2018He falls, not knowing what he is fight- \u2018ing for.The glorious death is the \u2018death of the miner, and of the man \u2018 who defends his liberty and his home \u2018 against the tyrant.\u201d Thc strenuosity of M.Tarrida in favor of a different conception of a glorious death had its effect, and a suitable alteration will be made.A proposal to encourage international visiting of peoples was highly approved, and it may indeed be said that the value of the Congress was rather along lines of encouraging friendship and understanding among the individuals of nations than in formulating abstract propositions or specific rules for governments.The nineteenth congress is to be held at Stockholm.The self-congra- tulation of the eighteenth was well warranted.The Londou meeting was greatly successful, and thanks are due to the British Government for its generous hospitality.meee LIMITS OF BENEFICENCE.Hard times and the efforts of benevolent people to relieve the sorrows of the poor in New York, by opening soup kitchens and providing meals for hungry children, have produced a curious state of affairs.Many men out of employment, feeling satisfied that their families will not be allowed to starve, have deserted them, and left the city for parts unknown.These men may intend to send money to their wives should they get any to spare, but many of them will be liable to forget.Considering that industrial conditions are the same in all cities, and that these foreigners are not of a class to be attracted to the harvest fields, which at present offer the only chance of employment for laborers, there is little hope of their supporting their families.Thus the charity organizations of New York are facing the problem of having to provide for many thousands of destitute children, with mothers unable to care for them.What this will mean when the severe | winter gets in is terrible to contemplate.The lady superintendent of one children\u2019s aid society, Mrs.K.MacArthur, is dismayed at the prospect.She has reported that the number of husbands and fathers deserting their families is increasing every week.Where there were only two or three such cases formerly, there are now dozens.Each case adds to the burden these societies have assumed and the volume of it, should it continue increasing at this rate, must soon overwhelm them beyond the means of volunteer contributions, on which so far they have managed to meet the demands made upon them.As might be -expected, there is an increase in crime of all sorte, for starving people will steal.Police Commissioner Bingham has stated that a great many of the lower classes of aliens, who might prefer to live honest lives, are driven to crime because of ignorance of the lapguage and of business conditions in América.te adds that, \u2018of the two thousand pictures \u2018added to the rogues\u2019 gallery last year, \u2018sixty percent were those of Russian \u2018Jews.It is the custom of these crim- \u2018inals to give names of other nationali- \u2018 ties, especially Irish.\u201d The statement as to the percentage of Jewish criminals is contradicted by the \u2018The Federation Review,\u201d a Jewish publication, which quotes statistica to show the number is much less than he asserts.The report concerning deserting husbands 1s not questioned.A digest of the whole subject has been published in the New York \u2018Sun,\u2019 along with an account of the efforts made by the Jewish charity organizations to deal with it.1t raises questions of profound sociological import; revealing the moral limitations of beneficent almsgiving and taxing the ablest minds to find and apply effective remedies.It is cause for congratulation that no such disproportion of criminal or anti-social or burdensome conditions have developed among the foreign Jews Montreal.in \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 LAW ENFORCED.A most interesting and stirring story of prohibition enforcement and its results has recently been told by the Hon.C.W.Trickett, assistant state attorney of Kansas.For more than twenty years the state has had a prohibitory law upon its statute books, but it was persistently and openly violated, and when Mr.Trickett took office Governor Hoch said that he did not believe it could be enforced, but agreed to try again.The saloons were patronized by the mayor, the chief and the captain of police, and by all the city officials, the churches wen: apathetic, and the business interests had become persuaded that the prosperity of the city depended on the toleration of the saloon.Almost the only organizations which fought for the enforcement of the law were the Woman\u2019s Christian Temperance Union and the Christian Endeavorers, Suits were filed against the 256 saloonkeepers who operated in Wyandotte county.but they were defiant.When some of them were arrested, the saloons\u2014owned by brew- eries\u2014ran on as usual.Mr.Trickett, after a stiff fight, obtained an order from the court directing the sheriff to visit a number of them.Then, if a legitimate business was going on in addition to the saloon, he left a deputy to see that no liquor was sold, but if there was nothing but the saloon there when he left the front and the rear door were padlocked and the keys were in his pockets.This started a great stampede of saloon-keep- ers, the majority of whom emigrated with their fixtures to license states.Some still remained.One E.J.Connor, president of the saloon-keepers\u2019 league, pulled the padlock off his saloon and started to do business.He was arrested.He was at first defiant, but was tried on three counts, convicted on each, and on each was sentenced to six months imprisonment andga fine of five hundred dollars.Other cases against him were allowed to stand untried.After this other saloon-keepers who had bean arrested for following their president\u2019s rex- ample pleaded guilty.The city and county officials were against enforcement of the law and the first man put in jail was promptly released by the Board of County Commissioners.The next day, however, the three members of the board were arrested for interfering with the execution of an order of the court and had to give bond to get out of jail themselves.A probate judge who released liquor sellers had a somewhat similar experience.The Mayor had boasted \u2018God cannot and \u2018man won't close the saloons in Kansas \u2018 City, Kansas.\u201d He was ousted from his office and fined a thousand dollars.The chief and captain of police and the county attorney also lost their positions.The result of these sharp measures was that in less than four weeks the two hundred and fifty-six saloons in the county were closed, so were the two hundred gambling dens and the sixty houses of social evil.The two years which have elapsed since the reform was effected have only secure.Kansas City.| the largest city in the «- saloon, without gar without a disorderly how ett says that the letter.Germany.France, Eno.inquire

MR.PUGSLEY EXAMINES WIT- NESSSES\u2014GOVERNOR TWEE- DIE TESTIFIES.\u2018 4 St.John, N.B., Aug.20.\u2014The inquiry into the atfairs of the Central Railway, which was resumed by the Royal Com- wission to-day, proved an interesting session.The Hou.William Pugsley, the Minister of Public Works, was present for the first time since the inquiry opened, and took a hand in the examination of the witnesses.Dr.Pugsley said he appeared for himself as a member of the late government, against which the inquiry was directed.There were several spirited passages between the minister and Mr.Powell, counsel for the comunission.Mr.Powell charged that an item of $13,000 in the provincial government subsidies had been paid twice, and Dr.Pugsley denied this.Dr.Pugsley raised the point as to whether the commission had power to probe matters previous to the year 1901, which was the time stated in the act under The minister said he desired a thorough inquiry, but wanted it understood whether or not the inquiry would go back of this date.The commission will discuss the question.Lieutenant-Governor Tweedie was a witness at this afternoon's session.He said there was legislation introduced during the session of 1901 authorizing the building of a railway from Chipman to Minto.The bill represented the policy of the government and was introduced by the Hon.Mr.Pugsley.Mr.Powell read from the bill the ve- quirements asked of the company before the bonds would be guaranteed.The first was that the whole road should be constructed from Chipman to Gibson, before the bonds would be guaranteed; the second, that a mining plant capable of producing five hundred tons of coal a day should be installed, and the third, that the company should show by contracts or otherwise that an annual output of fifty thousand tons should be marketed.When asked if he had attended meetings of the directorate of the New Brunswick Coal & Railway Company as an ex- officio member, Governor Tweedie gave a lengthy explanation of his connection with the development of the coal fields.After Mr.Butler, of Ohio, had visited the province and pronounced the coal of the best quality, bat had wanted such exorbitant terms that no arrangement enukl be made with him, the witness said he had ceased to take an active part at the directors\u2019 meetings.[Ic was not a practical man and as provincial secretary he confined himself to keeping the ox- renses down and watching the progress of the work.Tle had no knowledge that the company wished to disnose of the road in the summer of 1901.He did not know that Evans and Elkin had an option on the road.St.John.N.B.Aug.21.\u2014In the Central Railway inquiry to-day.Judge Tan- dry gave the ruling of the commissioners ac to the question asked by Mr.Pugslev: \u2018Was the scope of the inquiry eufficient to allow investigation of matters prior te 1801?\u201d The commission believed that it was not within their power to inquire into matters prior to 1901, except in case such matters .were so inseparably connected with matters subsequent to that date that the latter could not be got at without reference to the former.The Hon.T.J.Tweedie concluded his evidence and Mr.George McAvity was on the stand for a time.As on vestet- day.there were spirited passages between counsel.The commission hag adjourned for some weeks.EXPRESS CAR HELD UP AND MESSENGER

have presented projects to King Victor Emmanuel which have to do with the great active volcano near Naples, Vesuvius.The one, a German, Herr Lichtenberg, bas a scheme for ils annibilation; the other, an American, for its utilization as a crematorium.Herr Lichtenberg provides for the extinction of the volcano by an ingenious system of subterranean canals, which will drown out the fire and render the land in the vicinity safe and productive.The American prefaces his project by declaring that cemeteries should be abol- jshed by international law all the world over.When this is done, he declares that an American trust stands ready to build a colossal fleet of funeral ships which would ply between the principal ports of the world and Naples, convey- mg the dead of all nations to the Bay of Naples where the remains would be reverently received by representatives of all religious and ethical faithe of the universe in permanent residence at the foot of the mountain.Automatic railways would then convey the corpses to the mouth of the crater, in whose abyss millions of sons of men divided in life would in death be united in everlasting peace.The creator of this unusual and apparently beneficial scheme forestalls the imagined objections of Neo- politans by\u2019 adding that \u2018so extravagantly devout a populace would rather welcome as showers of blessings any such abundant hail of ancestral ashes.\u2019 MARRIAGE CONGRESS NECESSITATED BY DIFFERENT CONDITIONS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES\u2014A CASE IN POINT.\u2014 Paris, Aug.21.\u2014That Paris society, which is collecting evidence in order to prove the need of an international mhr- riage congress for the purpose of removing the inconveniences arising from the differing marriage conditions existing in the various countries in Europe, recently had laid before it the following ease: Ten years ago a Frenchman married a German woman living in Paris.The couple moved to Denmark, where the wife sued for divorce, obtamed it, and then remarried.As this divorce was pronounced prejudicial to the husband, he could not remarry in Denmark.He returned to France and instituted proceedings for divorce since hig wife\u2019s divorce was not valid there.But the Tribunal of the Seine refused the Frenchman\u2019s request on the ground that although in Freneh law the marriage of the defendant would appear to be null and void, that marriage, contracted by the woman in good faith.and in conformity with the law of the country in which she at present resides, must produce its effect =o long as its nullity has not been expressly pronounced, and no demand having such an object has been submited to the tribunals.The judgment, which condemns the Frenchman to remain single both in Denmark, where his former wife has remarried.and in his own country, has heen upheld on appeal by the judges of the Court of First Instance in Paris.QUEEN'S SCHOLARSHIPS moe Kingston, Ont., Aug.21.\u2014lhe names of the winners of senior

if it fail, he blames the farmer for having by some breach of the sacred laws undone his work and brought down the ire of the gods upon the harvest.About the only survival of the ancient rites that China has to show is the fact that all ploughing has to be started on a fixed day, the beginning of their solar year.In ancient times the beginming of ploughing was made tte occasion \u2018or the most elaborate ceremonies, which at one time included living sacrifices, but rulers have gradually enforced the abandonment of these customs.At about this time of the year Siam is witnessing its great annual custom, the Raakua.\"This 15 an official rite, perhaps the only one in which givernment officers take part.On the day fixed by court astrologers, the Minister of Agn- culture, who is alwaye a member ot some noble family, goes to a piece ot ground some distance from the capital.Here 18 waiting a new.gaily decorated plough, with a pair of buffaloes yoked to it.The minster guides the plough over the field, while the attention of the people is concentrated on his How- ing robes.If, as he follows the plough, his robes rise above his knees, there will be disastrous rains; if they fall below his ankles, everything is propitious for a big crop.After the furrows have been opened old women strew grains of dit- ferent sorts in them, and buffaloes are permitted to go and cat thereof.©hat of which they partake most freelv will be scarce next harvest; that which they leave will be most prolific.Formerly in parts of Germany the in- vided \u2018Taurus had ushered in the year: By SUITS $2.50 to PANTS 30c to 5Qc to SHIRTWAISTS SHIRTS 50e, 65c, 75c & RAINCOAT $2.00 to Outfit.SCROUL CLOTHE $1.50 | SWEATERS avo JERSEYS | 81.75 § 25c, 536, 750 | $1.00 STOCKINGS 25¢ to $1.00 &c, S $2.25, $2.50, $3.00 REEFERS uo OVERCOATS $8.00 And all accompanying lines of Sundries that = to forma Boy's Compiete The Best Value In Canada.CLOTHIER Wm.Currie 423 Notre Dame Stree!

but when he went further and moved that some of the fire apparatus be moved into the building in order to test the flooring, the acting chairman, Ald.Mercier, ruled the propos: tion out of order.A dispute ensued as to whether the vote of reconsideration had annulled the original resolution agreed to on the motion of Ald.Laviolette.Mr.Archambault, one of the city attorneys, was called in to settle the point, and he at first said that Ald.Gallery's resolution had killed the first proposition.Afterwards he ruled that the motion had merely been suspended.It would therefore require a motion to reaffirm or rescind it before business was proceeded with.| Ald.Gallery disagreed with this opinion, and appealed against the decision of the acting chairman to take a vote on a motion from Ald.Laviolette to maf- firm his original motion.and Seguin supported the chairman's ruling, and Ald.Laviolette\u2019s motion of reaffirmation was then carried, Aldermen Gallery and Seguin dissenting.Ald.Gallery expressed his intention to appeal further against Ald.Mercier\u2019s ruling.The construction of No.5 fire station has occupied a period of about three vizars and six months.and is considered to be a bad bargain for the city.The total cost of the building is 887.700.THE GRACE DART HOME The Grace Dart Home Hospital for Destitute Incurables begs to acknowledge with thanks the tollowing subscriptions: \u2014 Eva .8 3.00 M.Higgins.RE .\u2026.2.00 Fe.G.\u2026.\u2026.+.enseeur ess 50.00 Mrs.R.C., Lachine .20.00 HT.M.12 22e case eee 5.00 A Friend.Sutton.ere .1.00 M.B.Ce eae 1.00 Tady friend.per Dr.Picotte .5.00 Mrs.M.o.oo oo Lana cee 10.00 Tady Friend .\u2026.\u2026.3.00 Mrs.James Walker.sr., per Dr Gurd .Ce eee 2.00 A Friend .25.00 MR.SUZOR-COTE\u2019S SUCCESS.\u2014 Mr.A.Suzor-Coté, as his Montreal friends and admirers will be verv bleas- ed to learn, has just been commussion- ed by Mr.Thomas F.Ryan, one ot the most prominent men and multi_mil- THE ST.LOUIS LOAN.I'l\" IS SAID THE TOY $37,500 ON TH N WILL LUSK DEBEN- iS.The unusual methgyds adopted bv the St.Louis Council i dealing with the tenders submitted fof.the 'oan of 3625.- 000 formed the.theme of general discussion in the busifness circles of the town yesterday affernoon when the facts became knowuW, and the actions of the Mayor and Chuncillors were very energetically cond&m ed, even by some of Mr.Turcot\u2019s odt devoted follow- \u20acrs.Early in the leaked out th opened in a not at the p afternoon the fact had the tenders had been ommittee neeting., and | lic meeting of the council, and furiffier, that the iowest tender was at 944For about one percent below the g-ket price for such securities, beugifig interes at 414 percent.lt was ldo stated that the tenders were all elow the market value of such securities, and that the town would lose six percent, or $37,500, on the whole issue, a sum almost sufficient, it was said, to pave the whole of the East wards with permanent sidewalks.One of Mr.Turcot\u2019s supporters frankly admitted that annexation to Montreal under the conditions offered by the city would have been infinitely better for the town, not only because Montreal can sell its debentures at var.\u2018but also because other unnecessarv expenfes would have been avoided, 'ncluding À cost of plant for the road departmeft, and Mr.Vanier's 815,000 fee on c#r- ® tain public works;

so he bought the island for the British Crown, paying ten sticks of tobacco for it, and everyone was satisfied.The place since then has been known as \u2018Ten Stick Island.\u2019 CG EE SE te Sagan gy PUTTIN AT Rae + .\u201ca.: 15 HOW FOREST FIRES START RESPONSIBILITY OF TIMBERMEN \u2014STRANGE FREAKS OF THE FLAMES, (Milwaukee \u2018Sentinel.\u2019) \u2018These forest fires are more often started by some one throwing down a match carelessly or spilling out the live ashes from his pipe, said D.Whittaker.When we were building the extension from Champion to L\u2019Anse years ago some of the boys thought they would go down to Champion for a time.Coming back one of them lit his pipe and threw the match into the dry grass.\u2018Before that fire burned itself out it had traversed a strip of territory sixty miles long and five or six miles wide.We lost hundreds of thousands of ties by the fire.to say nothing of the timber that was burned over\u2014all because a man was not careful where he threw a lighted match.When such fires once get started they burn themselves out; you can\u2019t stop them.\u2018And they play some queer freaks.1 have seen great pine trees, stanaing out alone in a little clearing 100 vards or more from anything, and suddenly the fire would jump out and a few minutes later nothing would be left of the tree but the trunk and scarred and burned limbs.I remember one case ot the kind where a handsome big pine stood out alone.Suddenly the flames seemed to gather themselves into a big ball and burst over the top of the tree like a shell, enveloping it in fire.It burned as though it had been kiln dried.\u2018Somehow the fire seems to take all the sap out of the tree.Lhe tree was completely destroyed in a short time, the fire sweeping on and leaving it a grotesque and blackened trunk where before was a beautiful picture.\u2018In the old days the Indians were very careful of fire.When they broke camp in the morning after going a short dis tance one of the band would go back to see that there was no spark unex- tinguished.If there was he would be sure to put it out.Tf he did not return to the waiting band soon two or three others would go back, and if there was any fire they would help him extinguish 17.\u2018In that way forest fires were prevent ed.Nowadays with white campers and picnickers going into the woods and leaving without care whether thev lcave sparks which may cause a blaze or not, it is hard to preserve the forests.I pre: sume 1t was something of that kind which started the fires in that country up in Britisn Columbia.T know the country; it is densely timbered, and a fire there will mean the loss of hun dreds of thousands of dollars in standing timber, to say nothing of the lives said to have heen lost.\u2019 BACK TO THE FARM.\u2018Back to the land, now ts the cry, The land is waiting for you.It cannot come to the cities and towns Where so many have nothing to do.Millions of acres lie vacant and lost, Millions of money are there, All that is reeded is labor and brains, This millions of money to share.You may not get rich as others have done, But there's few that ever are poor, He who lives on the land and keeps digging away, Drives poverty out at the door.In cities acd towns it oft is the case, That the dollar that's easy to win, Disappears much quicker than ever it came, And you're left with an empty bin.I've rever case, Of a farmer's soup kitchen, I think When times were dull or winters severe They'd aye plenty to eat and to drink.vet heard that such was the \u2018Back to the land,\u2019 that is the place, Where the baby can run without care, Where the boys and the girls can scamper about.And enjoying the purest of air.\u2018Back to the farm\u2019 where the young men and maids\u2014 Grow healthy, strong and bright, \"Tis there that are reared the + KAMOURASKA.: < *' cg PE a AAR A Mrs.Buntin gave a drive to Riviere Ouelle last Wednesday.A great number of children attended.Dr.Ahern, of Quebec, spent a_ day here last week, the guest of the Hon.John Sharples.Mr.Bartlett, who was spending some time here, has returned to Quebec.Mrs.Robinson, of Montreal, and baby left for home a few days ago, stopping ln Quebec for some time.| A fancy dress ball was given for children last week.Miss Stella Temple, of Montreal, has left for Quebec on a visit.She will then return home.Miss Belcourt, of Montreal, who was spending a month here, has returned to town.Mrs.Dufresne, who spent two months here, has left for Montreal.Mrs.Acer and Miss Edith Acer will leave about the end of the month for Montreal.Miss Bradley and Mr.Bradley, of Quebec, left last week, after spending some time here.Miss Resther, who spent a month here at Pelletier\u2019s, has left for Montreal.The Hon.J.Sharples, with Miss Preston, went to St.Pacome for the day some time ago.Mrs.Auger has left for Quebec, after being here for some time at Dechene\u2019s.Miss Jeanne Pelletier has left for Quebec.Mr.here.Mr.Hawkins was here for a holiday.Mr.and Mrs.Desrosier will leave for Montreal about the end of the month.Mrs.Preble McIntosh, who has been spending some time the guest of Mrs.Acer, will return to Montreal very soon.+88 Murray, who was here for some time, has returned to Lachine.Mr.A.Scott spent the week end here.LeMesurier spent the week end 00606200 00000?00%50% 00% 0c 0 %.0% oo.¥a 0a Ps Oo 8.0.DÉC AC A VE A > he POINTE CLAIRE.$ $ > er Je Get 7rn jantes Srston tonton Santost00t0s2os200t0020 The domino dance given by tHe members of the Pointe Claire Boating Club on Wednesday eveuing was the scene of many amusing episodes, brothers con- Versing unsuspectingly with sisters, and the first eight dances being leap year ones, which were requested by pantomimic signs, the ladies being dumb for the occasion, lent an air oi delightful mystery to the whole and sped a charming dance all too quickly.\u2018The old club house was gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns and about eighty couples from Lachine, Dorval, l.akeside and Beaccns- field were the guests of the evening.A regatta for Pointe Claire will be held this afternoon.Mr.and Mrs.Granger, who have been visiting Mrs.Mahaffy, have returned to London.Mr.Gerald Lomer, who has been abroad, has returned to Pointe Claire.Mr.and Mrs.Hannan and Miss Hane nan were the guests this week of Mr.and Mrs.W.T.Shaw.Miss Davis is the guest of Mrs.Geo.Napier.Mr.Montague Howard is the guest of Mm.H.Holland.Colonel Skinner and Mrs.Skinper have returned from Ste.Agathe.| Mr.and Mrs.Peter Smith and Miss Betty Smith were entertained this week by Mrs.O.F.Lilly.Among those who came up from La- chine and Dorval for the domino dance were Miss Baby, Mr.Henri Baby, Mr.George Leger and Mr.Morley Holland.Mr.and Mrs.Percy Smith have left for Toronto.Mr.Charles Archibald has returned from Boston.Mr.Percy Oakes spent the week end in Quebec.Me and Mrs.Otto Lilly, of New York, who have been visiting Mr.and Mrs.O.F.Lilly, have returned home.Mr.and Mrs.Louis Davis attended the domino dance.pc a a ABENAKIS SPRINGS.$ Le re aeS a Ca 0 The Misses L.Sykes and Viola Hailey, of Montreal, have Tegistered at the Springs for.two weeks.;

impulse, which if rightly nourished, will lift society {to a higher level, but the greed tor making money by unrighteous ways keeps down lofty aspirations.1{ we note the stock market we shall see that its financiers are not always honest investors who are seeking eafe securities, but men and women who are willing to gamble, caring nothing for the merit of a commercial scheme if they can make monev by buying and selling securities.The lesson of the usurer is much needed in this grab game of money getting by uncertain means.We live only by pro- grecs, if we stand still, or go backward vital power is lost, and, an atmosphere may be as spiritually debilitating as malaria is to the physical forces.Toc often it can be said of us: \u2018Thou savorest not the things which be of God, but those which are of man.\u201d The temp- tatione of the world are those of environment, of public opinion, the immense power of example, the ease of Joing as others do, in fact, conforming to the world withcut counting results.The wise Ulyeses had himself tied to the Inast when he could not get away from tte song of the sirens.But a tree standing exposed to bleak winds is made ctrouger by the trial, and the soul of man le tested that it may become stronger by resistance, not weakened by yielding.Our duty in life is to grow, to become \u201cV0 2 em, our best and truest selves, such as God meant us to be.By this test we can judge ourselves, whether we are faithful to our daily duties and to the inner light of our own convictions.THE LAWN.J.E.K.\u2014Your idea of seeding with white clover is a good one, but some of the perennial weeds you have mentioned would be better pulled out, and a little ceed put into the hole, otherwise a weed will fill it.Very often the grass suffers from poor ¢ni! or insufficient seeding, so the cure is to put in more grass, after raking well ard application of chemical fertilizers.Digging up is not advisable as it only means that the battle has to be fought{- over again.Tc keep in good condition during the period of growth the lawn should be elip- ped with the mower twice a week, and if thie is done faithfully, the plaintaine will not &urvive.Chickweed is a tiresome weed but must not be allowed to go to seed The best tucky blue sowicg of taste.Close but Lest lawn grass, of course, is the Ken- grasse (Poa pratensis), and the white clover is a matter of judicious mowing ls really the remedy or preventive of weeds in a GRAPE VINES.A.McM.\u2014There must be a weakness in the root growth of your grape vine, but it is not likely caused by the coal ashes, though euch an accumulation might be injurious.They do not require heavv manuring.but are benefited by the application of wood ashes.If the land is too rich it tends to a large growth of vine that re- cuires constant pinching and pruning.When the vine sets too muvh fruit and large bunches are wanted, it is well to take off all the small and inferior bunches ag soon as eet.If you take care of thé sprout on the other vine and give a little fresh earth, it may recover.THE GERANIUM.Doris wants to learn a liitie about the Geranium, which is really a pelargonium, anc the real home of the plant is South Africa, where it wae cultivated both by the English and the Dutch.Bota flower and foliage are of many varied shades, and it is a plant so easily grown as to be seldom an object of \u2018are aud cultivation though well able to repay fer extra attention.A well-drained pot of moderately rich earth suits the geranium for too much water or too rich soil results it growth of foliage at the expense of blocn:.Geraniums are subject to bu! few dis- esses and the spotting of the leaves sometimes complained of is frequently caused tv too much manure in the «oil or too mich water.If the red epider appears it can be routed by a fine spray and tobacco remedies wi'l destroy the green fly.For winter blooming the plante should be well started {a spring, and taken in- donrs Lefore frost comes.They require as much sun as possible if blossomé are wished for, and for that reason give their best blooming during March and April © our windows.At that season water when the soil appears dry and this «il favorite w }' not disappoint vou.TOMATO ENEMY.S.J.W.\u2014Therc is no safety in application of the poiconous substances used for insects when the tomatoes are so far advanced.Probably you have picked them many times since sending the postal.but the enemy is dcubtless lodged in force among your plants, and if away from poultry the poisoned bran mash (a quarter of a pound of paris green to twenty- five pounds of bran) might atiract some of the depredators.THRIP ON PLANT.N.McQ.\u2014There is not anything better than kerosene emulsion for the thrip on your plant, but its leaves are tender and must he carefully handled.Any of the soap washes should desiroy this enemy.but if out of doors at this season of the year, the thrip can be dis- OLEANDER.Miss A.L.P.\u2014Any of the things vou mention are good, and soap and waten would be effectual if properly applied.The leaves you sent are infested by scale ineects, they are doubtless ali up and down the stems and midribs of the branches and leaves.The only thing to do is to wash them off\u2014taking an old tooth brush or something of that sort, and being very thorough, then rinsing with clear water.It is an enemy that can be dislodged and must be or it will destrov the plant.MEALY RUG.Elinor writes of a white cottony substance that forms on her plants, and asks if jt is a living thing.There is no doubt from the description that your plants are infested by mealy bug.It is found chiefly upon oleanders, lemon shrubs and other hard wooded plants, but is often quite at home upon the colens and similar plants- while it is very destructive to cacti if it once gets a lodgment.kerosene emulzion is most effective in dislodging the enemy.applying it to the leaves with a soft brush and working well among the branches and the axils of the leaves.WFED FOR NAME.A.B.G.\u2014The name of the weed enclosed is Hawkweed, proper name Hieraclum Venosum.It is a perennial, the flowers open in the day time and close at night.It prefers a dry coil, and grows in wood.and clearings.Probably the reason you have heard it called Arnica flower is on accoum of it being considered a remedy for the bite of \u2018a rattlesnake.THE FUCIISIA.Elleen.\u2014There are several the introduction of the Fuchsia.came from South Amorica.It is raid that a sailor brought the first plant.a senrlet blossoni, giving it to some one who was re.cued from poverty by selling it at a high price.In its native home it grows to a tree, and the Isle of Wight boast: a specimen that is 70 feet high in the open ground.It is a plant that enjoys being coaxed.to ne washed and trained and encouraged.With plenty of water showered c¢very dav.and partial shade, it should reward vour attention.NAME OF A FLOWER.Mrs.M.E.M.-The flower sent jone of the Campanulas, but it j- to fell which variety without \u201cmethod of growth.It must have grown remarkably well with | your friend t, have so many blossoms, and had good treatment.| Some of the finer varieties are used as j tub plants, especially campanula jvra- ; midalis, that grows tall and tapering as iis name indicates.PI ANTING A novice.\u2014It is resembles not easy seeing the ROSES.safe to transplant vour roses in autumn, provided it is done before frost set: in.If you intend to have a bed \"or border und the soil is not suitable, re- i move it to the depth of eighteen inches, nnd fi] in with a Well mixed compost.and :f | vou have none prepared use a good turfv !
