result of a concerted effort on the part of the large producers to force their smaller competitors out of the market, or coerce thom \u2018into selling.There has, however, been a\u2019 slight inrprovement in prices over those prevailing a year ago.Termination of the \u2018license agreement\u2019 between the eastern cement companies.commonly\u2019 known as the \u2018cement trust,\u2019 it wad argued, would result in a ruinous war of price-eutting.Yet, such has not been the case.The agreement, made in 1909 was diswolved by mutual \u2018consent of.the, contracting parties, having failed of the purpose for which it.was formed;\u2014nantely,' the betterment of conditions in the cement industry.\u2019 The general price of cement declined from $1.11 in 1907 to 81 cents per barrel In 1910.At mills fn the eastern territory the average price per barrel in bulk was 78 cents in 1908, 73 cents ih 1909, and from 63 cents to 65 cents in 1910.It is estimated that cement cannot be produced much under 75 cents per barrel.Present average price of commodity in bulk at the mil is above this figure.Many of the companies have thus been producing at a decided loss, as average selling price for more than a year has been below cost of production.Growth of ceinent- industry over the last 20 years, together with the constant decrease in selling price is illustrated by the.following table;

\u2018some say that he is an ex-judge, and | others a young lawyer-journalist, at one time connected with the defunct \u2018Journal\u2019 One or both, they interpret the maniere de voir of the \u2018old Conservatives broken .or accustomed to the fights.\u2019 .The interesting feature of the affair is that Mr.Henri Bourassa, in the \u2018Devoir, has taken issue with the claims of these \u2018acçustomed Conservatives\u2019 and in typical style he tells them in his paper that they can make an alllance with Mr, Sifton if they want to, but that he will not bea party to it.Stung to the\u2019 quick, he whd pretenda to speak in the name of the \u2018Conservative party writes in Saturday's issue of the \u2018Patrie\u2019: \"We strongly bélleve that the in- opportuneness and the ferocity of Mr.Bouragsa's attack, will- render more bitter the deception of Conservative groups who had heard him loudly declare that he abandoned the Liberal phalanx, and who felt ready to follow hia proud plume.It is quite evident that Mr.Bourassa to-day has a supreme contempt for the Conservatives.and that he prefers fighting alone.This\u2018 will exempt him.from dividing the merit of won victories.\u2018All understanding with this puppet is from now ort impdgsible: the\u2019 Con- sérvatives will surely understand that they cannot but leave Mr.Bpurasse.1d his \u201cDevolr\u201d to their fate.The dignity and.*he honor of the Consér- vatives command.them to re-ôrgan- ize a naln, ches.ptm, to igh without his help,\u201d since\u2019 s ashamed of their -chiéfs, and refuses to tread along.with.them, add since he of 8% À Barque 338 Days From Port to \u2018 Port\u2014Ship Blown Across Pacific.-x ., CPall Mall Gazette.) Ge The other day.the Italian Jip Nin: fa\u2019 sæuntered nto the Channel with a charge .of wind and signalled off Prawle Point, 19 days out from Astoria Bar, without once having been reported.To the nautical perception the sea is full of such lonely craft battering : their way round the Horn through a region of almost perpetual gales, or idling in the doldrums to the irritation of thelr dimpirited crews, who y find partial consolation in the reflection that every flap of the mainsail means halt a crown out of the wner's pocket.and a corresponding addition to their own hard earned pay.Within\u2019 the experfence of the deep sea sailor such passages are nothing unusual, particularly, on the outward voyage to the Pacific when Cape Horn has to be Weathéred and its pre- vVailing westerly winds won through.On March 2, 1810, the four-masted barque \u2018\u2019Invernesashire,\u2019 sailed from Hamburg bound for Santa Rosalia, in the Gulf of California.During a passage which included such Incidents as her temporary abandonment by her crew in dread of her foundering, she was forced to put into the Falklands to refit and sailed again on her interrupted voyage on Sept.27, From that time she was neither seen nor heard of until \u2018she arrived safely at her destination on Feb.2, 1911, 388 days out from her original port of departure.The voyage of the \u2018Invernessshire\u2019 almost compates with the performances of the Jumbersome craft of ear- ller navigators, except no doubt that it was a tedious passage and not enlivened by \u2018encounter with carracks laden with pepper from Malabar, of which the King of Spain was owner.On Nov, 19, 1587, the \u2018Desire,\u2019 under command of Thomas Cavendish, a gentleman of - Suffolk, set sail from the headlands of California for the Channel.At break of day on June 8 of the following year ghe fell In sight of the Island of St.Helens; on July 3 she crossed the line, and after holding the brave trade winds to the limits of 40 degrees north latitude recovered the long wished for port of Plymouth on Sept.7, 1588.\u2018Not much better could be expected from the ships and their equipment.The sailing master of the \u2018Desire\u2019 thought it worthy of record that running merrily before the wind under all the sail she could carry his vessel compassed 140 miles between noon * and noon, a boast which would expose the modern shipmaster to the derision of his companions in every ship chandler's shop of the ports he frequented.Among some extraordinary voyages made by deep.sed, sailing craft within recent yearg there may be mentioned that of the \u2018Beacon Rock,\u201d engaged on a short coastal trip between two Aus- trallan ports.After all hope of her safe arrival had been abandoned she turned up at Talcahu and Chile, some 6,000 miles from her intended destination.Being in light trim and consequently with no grip on the water, she had been unable to make any progress agairist a persistent head wind and her master had been compelled to square yards and make a fair wind of ft across\u2019 the broad Pacific.Another large four-masted barque, the \u2018\u2018Buteshire,\u2019 had - the remarkable experience last year of circling around the windless Gulf of Panama like a circus horse until she was.obliged to put back.ninety days out and short of provisions, to her port of departure.It may.however, bs an exaggeration that the lighthouse keepers tm the gulf fell into the habit of regulating their calendars by her appearances.| Pret COMMISSIONER

April 17\u2014Mr.Robert Mc- Dougall, of the Board of Trade, who has returned from a trip in the Canadian west, states that Duluth interests think acreage of wheat in the American North-West this year may be affected by the fate of the reciprocity pact.The acreage ih the Canadian North-West, on the ohter hand, will be largely increased.The conditions for seeding are favorable on both sides of the border.\u2018Much wild land in Alberta and Saskatchewan,\u201d sald Mr.McDougal, \u2018will be broken, and seeding will commence soon.Ploughoing by gasolene power, oil power, and steam power makes the work rapid.The Province of Manitoba was ploughed last fall.Alberta and Saskatchewan will be spring ploughed.Immigrants continuad pouring in through Winnipeg, but are not stopping in Manitoba.Fifteen hundred were recently left behind dt seaports of England and Scotland because f lack of steamship facilities.Land is cheaper in Manitoba than in Saskatchewan and Alberta, and probably better land at that; but careless farming has made certain Manitoba land very weedy.Another reason js that the western provinces have a more moderate climate than Manitoba.Winnipeg is more cosmopolitan than New York, and will be the great- -est city in Canada.CROP REPORT AND LIVESTOCK Ottawa, April 17.\u2014The Census and Statistics Office issued the following bulletin on craps and live stock: The reports of

Has Concentrated Against Federal - Army BULLETS FLY IN DOUGLAS.Federals Sought to Gain Advantage of International Line\u2014Decis- ive Engagement Likely.Douglas, Ariz.April 17.\u2014The long- expected attack of the Mexican federal troops on Agua Prieta opened in deadly earnest at 6.30 to-day.The firing was fast and furious on both sides.The rattle of musketry was continuous.The hall of bullets from the machine guns \u2018fell within the confines of , the city of Douglas.It was evident from the outset that the battle was to be decisive.Both sides exhibited desperate courage.The federals began by massing themeelves to the southeast of the town, and moved slowiy within range of the rebel] position.The insurrectos faring in three directions lay low in the trenches or flat on the open ground.The federals\u2019 fire raked over them and into both Agua Prieta and Douglas.It was evident from the heavy firing that the casualties on both sides were destined to be very heavy.The steel and leaden missiles from.the federal guns carried far over the fnternational line and ploughed their way into the buildings facing along Second and Third streets, and dug up the ground here amd there over the whole southern end of the city.The federals in moving in, had au- vanced from the camp which they established vesterday at Sulphur Springs, a water jole five miles south of Agua Prieta.They marched slowly to a point southeast of Agua Prieta with an evident intention of gaining the border in order to attack the rebel position along the international line, but before.they were able to get in this covered position they encountercd the rebel cavalry, which had galloped out to Intercept them.and there was a rattle from the repeating rifles as the two advancing forces came into firing range.The cavalry dropped back slawfly and the federals next came within range of the deep entrenchments thrown up by the rebels dur- Ing Sunday and last night, which filled with insurrecto sharpshooters, Most of the residents of Douglas rrmained within doors or sought other places of safety.MANY FALLEN 1 ' ' \u201cON BOTH SIDES.\u2019 Some attempted to galn vanuage points to view the field of battle.With the first galling fire from the rebel entrenchments the federals were seen to waver momentarily, but the movement was quickly checked.For fully fifteen minutes the two armies held their respective positions while the deadly fire continued, Thir- tv minutes after the battle opened the rebels were seen to abandon\u2019 thelr outlying positions, and fall back to the breastworks toward Agua Prieta.The federal advance was slow, and in open order.with almost continuons firing.The rebels, with great stubbornness, contended every inch of the way.While the rebel riflemen were falling back to the second row of entrenchments they fought boldly in the open.They were seen to stop and take deliberate aim at the advancing national line and fire round after round.The backward movement of the rebels toward Aguo Prieta, however, was steady.Many had fallen, on both sides.Suddenly, and for some unexplained reason, the federal machine guns were silenced.The rifle fire, however, kept up without intermis- «lon.It was apparent that + \u201charpshooters were concentrating fire ~n the machine gun operators, and: were slowly picking them .and again the guns appeared to he unmanned.At 7.45.an hour and a auarter n°- ter the battle opened.the machine cuns were agaln in action and were raking the rebel! position on roth sides, The Red Cross volunteers.~roesed the border and went on the field at this hour.Every surgeon in T'ouglas, and many from Bisbee, were baing brought to the line to attend the wounded.(It was certain that the list of killed and wounded would be very heavy.REBELS HOLD \u201cVERY POSITION.At 10.30 the fire ceased, with the \u201cebels holding every position which they occypied at the beginning of the battle, The rebels began digging new \u2018renches at once.\u2018Red\u2019 Lopez, one of the rebel chiefs.reported the rebel casualties in the trenches as light.American troops had forced Douglas residents, intent upon witnessing the battle.back to Sixth street.within three blocks of the centre of the eity.One bullet passed through the hat of a trooper here, and Oscar K.Goll, a citizen, was struck on the side of the head by a stray bullet.He was not seriously wounded.REBELLION IS SPREADING.Chihuahua.April 17.\u2014With information from reliable sources stating that railways between important places in Durango, Coahuila and Zacatecas are A Note of

of the Parliament of Canada.The interest of the shareholder is safeguarded by every necessary condition and at the same time the charter grants all those privileges which are the great sources of profit to the company.PROVISIONAL DIRECTORS\u2019 OFFER OF SHARES, The charter requires that 4,000 shares (3400,000) of the stock be subscribed and $100,000 paid in before commencing business.The Provisional Directors are offering to the public 4,000 shares of the capital stock on the most favorable deferred payment plan, allowing the small investor to secure from one hundred to five thousand dollars of this stock, with the privilege of from five to ten years to make the payments.The experience of other Loan Companies justifies the prediction that in the meantime this stock should greatly increase in value.We want to explain this position to you; we want you to know of the magnificent profits which accrue to the shareholders of well- managed Mortgage Loan Companies, and, furthermore, we want you to share in the prosperity of the great and g.owing West.There is not a financial Institution in Canada that has ever been established under so favorable conditions as those afforded the Pioneers\u2019 Loan Company, and a future of unparalleled success is assured.When these 4,000 shares are subscribed the permanent organization of the Company will be effected.The permanent Board of Directors and Manager will be chosen by the subscribers of this 4,000 share allotment.IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE CHARTER.The Pioneers\u2019 Loan Company is authorized to sell debentures to four times \u201che amount of the paid-up capital stock.Other loan companies are selling their debentures in Europe and the East at a rate of 3 to 4 percent, loaning the proceeds at from 5 1-2 p.c.to 6 p.c., which enables them to pay their shareholders from 86 p.c.to 10 pc.dividends.As the Pioneers\u2019 Loan Company will be able to place their debentures on as favorable terms as other companies, and as by operating entjrely in Western Canada they will loan the proteeds at from 7 p.c.to 9 p.c., it can readily be seen the handsome préfit thereby offered to the shareholders.Another strong feature is

shove of good proportions causcd à sudden rise of frur feet.Soon after 11 o'clock the wuter rose sixteen inches in & quarter cf an hour, this being followed by 8 movement of \u2018ce from up stream, which continued for & couple of hours.At Moffat\u2019s Island the stress appeared to be greatest, but with the fall of the water, which occurred as rapidly as the rise, the tension relaxed.While the water Is not regarded as being high, it has backed up into the Lachine canal, which was empiled at the beginning of the month.What would cause high water vouid be the coming down of the lake ice, which is yet solid.There |s also plenty of ice in Laprairie Bay, and 'f all this were to come down together it would produce a shove that would test the dykes.- Between the Victoria Bridge and St.Helen's Island there 1s a clear channel on the north shore, while on the south the.ice is piled high.Above the bridge and up to the Nun's Island there is some open water on the north shore.The Chateauguay' River Is reported to be clear of ice but as Lake St Louis, into which it.empties, is still apparently solid, there has been no \u2018chence for it to be carried'away.Lake St.Louis is said to be showing no signs of opening up with the exception, of course, of the channel cleared by the.icebreakers.The \u2018Montcalm\u2019 ie still in Quebec, but the \u2018Lady Grey: is still working to

LL.D., minister in charge of 8t.Paul's Church, made the following statement to the congregation at the service yw- terday morning:\u2014 \u2018Last autumn the congregation and Kirk Session appointed a committee, in terms of article five of the by-laws 1 of St.Paul's Church, to select a minister as successor to the Rev.Dr.Barclay.That committee has never been idle, and if we have sgeemed slow in reaching a result, that has been due largelv to our determimation to secure the very best man available for so responsible a position.It is a source of great relief to your committee, as I am sure it will be a cause of gratitude to the congregation, that we have at last succeeded in securing a minister who is specially qualified for such a pastorate as that of St.Paul's.We \u2018have extended in your name a unam- mous call to the Rev.Robert Bruce Taylor, M.A., of London, England, and after serious thought he has accepteu our invitation.It only remains to have the call formally pregented to, and \u201cratified by, the Presbytery of Montreal.in Britain as a preacher, \u2018scholar and organizer; and af who know him speck of his interesting personality.For six ysars he was minister of Ferry Hill Presbyterian Church, Aberdeen, where he succeeded the Rev, Dr.Kilpatrick, now professor of Knox College, Toronto, and where his ministry was a conspicuous success.\u2018For the last four years he has been associated in St.John's Wood Pres- bytertan Church, London, with Dr.Munro Gibson, well known in this city, as calleague and successor; and during the last two years he has practically been

but that makes the matter a! the more dangerous, as 4 it is giving the civil status of.marriage \u2018ever to be determined by each ami.every religious community.Thig \u2018would be making mamy -differences in our- marriage laws, These laws should surely be one for all the citizens of the province.There iz a grave doubt as to the proper interpretation of the law of this province on this question.In March, 1901, Mr.Justice Archibald, in the Datpit.case.gave judgment that the marriage of two Romanists before a.Protestant minister was legal.He.gave a -very olear and exhaustive statement of -the law upon this point.Mr.Justice \u2018Torrance, in the case of Burns v.\\\"Fontaine, also upheld the legality of -a Protestant solemnizing +he marrige off two Romanists.Thera is some doubt, therefore, as to the 1 tiem of any \u2018 No ecclesiastical authonity x judiotal interpretation of the law in this province._ \u2018It would be in the interests of .mo- Taléty and peace if a test .came wer taken to - the Privy Couhcil, Unfortunately this has pot been: done: The present state of affaire cannot be: tolerated.We cannot submit to see mar: riages thus ddssolved.We do not desire to interfere with any dlscipMnary measures the Roman Cotmminion © or any other communion may enaot for its own members.If they choose \u2018to say thet none of their faithfui ahel} be married by any but à priest or mia- ister of their own,.that.is a family matter; they are within their rights.But if two Romanists disobey that order and are merried by another, it matters not if he be an Anglican priest, a Methodist or Presbyterian, by anyone declared by authority of J the State to be a competent persons for the performance of marriage, they incur ecclestastical panaities, and the Romi authorities, or the authori communion whatever { may be, \u2018have a right to inflict wha penance they desire, if the parties concerned are willing to submit; bud they cannot be allowed to touch the legality of the marriage so contracted, nor to affect the civil status of the man and wife nor of their lawful issue.\u2018I regret as much as my Roman fel- low-citizens the existence of mixed marriages, for agreement in religipus life is ever advisable.I would be sorry if our people left their .own church to be married outside of their communion, and we can all sympathize with that position.But if peopla do go elsewhere and there is no legal bar to the marriage, and it is solemnized before one authorized by thd law, I must regard it as a valid marriage.The State certainly must fo regard it and cannot permit any es- jastical authority to annul the civil status of marriage.For the law of the dand to say that because of an ecclesiastical offence a womam is to be stamped with the brand of an adulteress, and her children to be even marked with the stigma of llegiti- maoy, is intolerable.\u2018Perfect religious and olvil liberty | \u2018and equality im Canada is a funda- n of the constitution mental principle et bé permitted to touch the civil status of any citizen.Let us have the point of law decided.If the Privy Counci) says that the Hebert judgment is thd law of this province, then we can never rest until the Legisiature had].recognized the perfect equality, civil and religious, of every oifizen; and that every citizen has a perfect right to be married before anyone whom the State authorizes to perform marriage, And every authorized religious community must stand on a perfect equel- ity before the law in this and othent matters.If the won has committed an ecclesiastical offence, let him bear the ecclesiastical penalty, whatever it may be;

others turned sick and faint at \u2018the sight of meals: but as a rule every meal Is followed by intense pains in the chest, heartburn; sick headaches, dizziness and shortness of breath, Indigestion assumes an obstinate form because ordinary medicines only subdue its symptoms\u2014 but do .not cure.So-called predigested foods only make the digestion more slugglish, and ultimately make \u2018the trouble take a chrenic form.- Dr.Williams\u2019 Pink Pills cure -indi- \u2018gestion because they go right to the root of the trouble.They make new, rich blood that invigorates weakened organs, thus strengthening the diges- - tive system so that the stomach does its own work.That is the Dr.Wil- Hams\u2019 way-\u2014the rational way \u2014 to cure indigestion \"and the allments This haa been proved time after time in the published cures wrought by Dr.Willlams\u2019 Pink Pills.Miss.Blanche Wallace, Dartmouth, N.S, .says:\u2014\u20181 suffered greatly with my «head and stomach.and.often took fainting spells.1 could\u201d not retain anything on my stomach, and while I naturally craved food 1 really dreaded mealtime with the \u2018path and discomfort that followed.: F tried a number of remedies but got no reHef.My mother was using Dr.Willlams\u2019 Pink Pills at the time with so much benefit that she induced me to try them.The result -was that soon the trouble had ssed away, and have since en- Poved \u2018the best TP heatthr Dr.Willams\u2019 Pink: Pills are sol by! all medicine dealers.or will sent by.mail at 5).cents a box or boxes for $2.50 by writing The Dr.Wilfanms\" Mèdiciné Ca, Brockville, PE - , te cas > ;

Dominion are practically.out of the builders\u2019 hands, and ali that remains to be done is to finish the decorations and put the exhibits in place.are a clear five weeks to elupse ere their\u2019 Majesties the King and Queen visit the Festival of Empire on May 12th, there is no question that the works are remarkably well advanced.The All Red Route, the £90,000 representation of Empire scenery-and life, 18 even now a delight, and all the mile and a half of electric line has bee.: laid.This week the £30,000 worth of machinery for the power house arrived.For the two bases, each welgh- ing twenty-four tons, and the pomnder- ous engines, a special road of railway.sleepers overlaid with steel plates, was used for transit purposes in order not to damage the paths.\u2018The interior of the Crystal Palace has been cleared in readiness for an army of stall and stand-makers.Rink- ing in the north transept ceased last Saturday, and this vast stretch of floor space ls now at the disposal of exhibitors.\u2019 The new 25,000-yard awning in the glass roof is nearly all in place, and three hundred people are engaged upon the elaborate and beautiful deeo- rations of the interior of the palace.It is not considered wise to fix the gold and crimson adornments, the floral festoons, the baskets of growing flowers, the embroidered banners, and the other dainty draperies until the exhibitors\u2019 workmen have carried out the rougher part of their task.As to the Pageant of London and * Empire, it may be said that the vast bulk of the costumes, arms, armor, scenery, properties and so forth is now ready for use, as an inspection of the stores, work rooms, and pageant ground prove, while Sir Aston Webb's amphitheatre could hold 10,000 speota- tors to-day.(More than this, thanks very largely to the enthusiasm and eloquence of Mr.Frank Lascelles, the master of the pageant, the required 15,000 performers have nearly all been recruited from Greater London and from over seas.In some of the epl- sodes there is still room for amateur performers to take part in the most important and impressive pageant ever ! organized.The Crystal Palace is having the spring clean of its history.Not only are 300 specially trained decorators re-painting the 800 yards of exterior facing the grounds, but others have ; t.-day commenced the task of bright- | evidently ening the front overlooking the high | While the men are dis- | i light | wel station.tributing twenty-five tons of Lrey paint over the miles of sash bars and iron work, others are cleaning about a milllon panes of glass, most of which average five feet in length 1.a foot wide.The noble old palace will more than ever be a gigantic dla- mond gleaming in the sun on Syden- ham slopes.To expedite the tidy-up and spring clean, nearly a thousand men, in addition to the 6,000 already at work, are engaged all night toiling in the glare of flare lights.st ns ed f The public may rest a red jl regards bdtidimis, exhioiéions ments, paths, lawns, flower beds, restaurants, railways, and so on, all will be in readiness for their comfort and pleasure.Among the many novel entertainments now being organized in connection with the Festival of Empire is à gigantic carnival to be held on July th.There will be fully thirty huge carnival cars, and each of the Ove:- geas' Dominions will be represtnted by such a car, a huge vehicle of a kind never yet seen in this country, indeed the triumphs of Nice, the home of carnivals, will be surpassed.Each car will be drawn by six horses, and hundreds of mounted masqueraders, 1o- gether with twelve bands, will figure in this remarkable procession.The carnival makers will assemble in Hyde Park and parade through fouth' London to the Crystal Palace.Corporations, public bodies generally.clubs, firms and so forth, wishing tn be represented in this record carnival should apply to the entertainments department, Empire House, No.175 Piccadilly, London, W.Tickets for the Festival of Empire, thes Pageant of London.and for the series of imperial concerts can now be obtained at the festival offices at the eastern junction \u2018of the Strand and Aldwych, and also at all the llb- raries and ticket agencies in London and throughout the kingdom.In the Bijou Theatre.which is just on the point of completion In the south transept of the palace, seven hundred people will be able to enlov the wordless costume plays which are to be one of the chief attractions of the Imperial Falr of Fashions.The scenery, which will be ready in A short time, Is Very elaborate.The entertainment in the theatre will con- rist of a series of beautiful set scenes.One will represent Ascot.another the fryer of a fashionable restaurant, another the garden of a charming old country house, and so- on.Amidst these surroundings beautiful girls will walk and pose with the object of showing to perfect advantage the richest and costliest creations of a number of famous English dressmak- Great care has been taken in the selection of these mannequins.Tt has been necessary to ersmine over 800 applicants before finding thirty perfect enough in type and figure to satisfy the exacting demands of the dressmakers.The mannequins, the scenery, and the dresses will demonstrate the whole art of beautiful dressing in a manner which has never heen attempted before.TOLSTOY MANUSCRIPTS, Deplorable Result of Family Feud is Likely.St.Petersburg, April 17.\u2014 The Tolstoy family feud has taken a deplorable turn.The proceedings Institute ed at the instance

of new crape round his hat, crying | as M his heart would break over the colfin of his good, kind mistress.Hs evident distress, the unexpected sight, suddenly loosed the fountath.of Sylvia'a tears,

at the kitchen-door, Phoebe opened it.He -asked to see Sylvia.\u2018A know not if she'll see thee,\u2019 said Phoebe.\u2018There's no makin' her out: sometimes she's for one thing, sometimes she\u2019s for another.\u2018She bld me come and see her, sald Kester.\u2018Only this mornin\u2019, at missus\u2019 buryin\u2019, she telled me to come.\u2019 80 Phoebe went off to inform Byl- via thai Kester was there; and wve- turned with the desire that he would walk into the parlor.An instant after he was gone, Phoebe heard him return, and carefully shut the two doors of communication between the Kitchen and sitting-room.Sylvia was in the latter when Kas- ter came in, holding her baby close to her; Indeed, she seldom let it go nowadays to any one else, making Nancy's place quite a sinecure, much to Phoebe\u2019s indignation.Sylvia's face was shrunk, and white, and thin: her lovely eyes alone retained the youthful, almost child-like expression.She went up to Kester, and shook his horny hand, she herself trembling all over.\u2018Don\u2019t talk to me of her,\u2019 she sald hastily.\u20181 cannot stand it.Its a blessing for her to be gone, but, oh\u2014\u2014) She began to cry, and then cheered herself up, and swallowed down her sobs.Kester,\u201d ehe want on, hastily, \u2018Charley Kinrald isn't dead; dast ta know ?He's alive, and he were here o' Tuesday\u2014non,

suddenly.\u2018By goom, that chap has a deal cheeks; and for a minute or so neither of them spoke.\u2019 Then she went on, still whispering out her words.\u201c \u2018Kester, I'm more afeared than I dare tell any one: can they ha\u2019 met, think yo\u2019?T' very thought turns me sick.I told Philip my mind.and took a vow again\u2019 him\u2014but it would be awful to think on harm happening to him

vanished as she faced her own imagination.Kester spoke.\u2018It's a thing as can be easy looked into.What day an\u2019 time were it when Philip left this house?\u2019 \u2018Tuesday\u2014the day she died.I saw him in her room that morning between breakfast and dinner; 1 could a'most swear to its being close after eleven.I mind counting t' clock.It was that very morn as Kinrald were here.\u2019 \u2019 \u2018All go to t' King's Arms, down on t\u2019 quay side; it were theere he put up at.An\u2019 am pretty sure as he only stopped one night, and left i' t\u2019 morning betimes.But a'll go see.\u2019 \u2018 \u2018Do,\u2019 said Sylvia, \u2018and go out through t' shop; they're all watching and watching me to see how I take things; and daren't let on about t' fire as is burning up my heart.Coulson is {\u2019 t shop, but he'll not notice thee like Phoebe.\u2019 By-and-by Kester came back.It seemed ag though Sylvia had never stirred; she looked eagerly at him, \u20144 \u2018He went

The wise, kind mother had tucked them snugly in a soft, warm bed, and more than once had come back to cover them yet more warmly in a fleecy white blanket.But the night was dark, and it was a long, 1-0-n-g night, and the children grew very weary of lying curled up in bed.They wanted to get outdoors into the bright daylight and play with thelr brathers.Though mother thought it was much too early, the children kept popping up their hdids and begging to be let out of bed; but every time they did that mother would grow stern and pinch their ears and make them shiver, and then she would! go and get more of those thick white blankets and pile them \u201cever and ever so high.But it mattered not how-high she piled them.a hand would ®jviv snatch them off, and then somebody would laugh.\u2014 Now whè do you suppose that soime- to swing.3 F TET ROADRED.& BQUTE Fes rome .Le T7HOURS ai * TORONTO \u201cInternational Limited\u201d (Canada's gtiway dreyhotiné.) | Tesvay Montreal\u2019 § dm: fer, To- FOUR EXRRESS TRAINS DA Between\u2019 ass Th RAINS DAI Ly 9.00 a.m,\" 9.45 a.m; 7.30 pm., 10.30 p.m.: Elegant Dining > Car 1 , lor and Librar Service \u2018on day vai nd latest depign- dr ulman -Blee PoE Cars on night [EASTER EXCURSIONS \u2018Come and see me,\u2019 Yes all she could Tickets will be sold between all stain Canidy; \u2018alse Maspene Springs, int, N.¥.; Island Pond, tio N.¥: Rouses \u2018Yt: Swanton, Vt, and.intermediate sta- tio s - return, at.rx FIRST OLASS TARE.Golry until April 17th, inclusive.Return limit April 19th.HOMESEEKERS\u2019 EXCURSIONS y 3 PICKETS to Western Canedé.vis: Chicago, on sale, April [ 18; May 2, 16 Sol Fone 13, 27; Fury 11, Aug: 8, 22; Sept.5, 19, at very low res.CITY TICKET OFFICE, 130 St.James St.\"Phone Mais 8908.or Bonaventure Station.CANADIAN PACIFIC TORONTO SERVICE Trains leave later and arrive earlier than anyothers.110.45 P.M.to NORTH TORONTO Trains for Unjon Station, Toronto, leave at *8.45 a.m.and *10.00 p.m.°Daily.Daily, except Sunday.The pew, large and roomy Sleeping Cars, for which equipment the C.P.Ris famous, are on these trains.\u2014 DOUBLE DAILY SERVICE To Winnipeg and Pacific Coast Points, now in operation.10.10 a.m.10.30 p.m.EASTER EXCURSION Tickets will be sold between all Stations in Canada, Port Arthur, Ont., Bault Ste, Marie, Ont.; Windsor, Ont, and east; also to and from Detroit and Bault 8 Mich.; Buffalo, Suspension Niagara Falls, N.Ÿ.; Newport 28 fa Lowest One-Way First-Class Fare For the Round Trip Going April 17th, Returning until April 19th, 1911.HOMESEEKERS' EXCURSIONS \u2014T Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta [April 18th, May 2nd, 16th, 30th and every second Tuesday until] Sept.18th.Tickets good for 60 days.TICEET O.CES: 218 St.James St.\u2018Telephone Main 8782, 3733, or Place Viger and Windsor Street stations.1 body was ?It was the children\u2019s father who played that sly joke, for he was getting impatient, too.He wanted the children to get up out of bed.He didn't like his children to be sleepy heads.No, he didn't.And so between the children popping up thelr heads and the big.laughing father snatching the covers off their bed, mother just had to give in to letting the children get up.But she tied a green bopnet with a funny old-faën- ioned cape on each of their heads and tucked their skirts wel up under the capes so that not even a peep of their soft silken folds could be seen: and she warned each child to hold the strings down tight when thelr wild, rough brothers came to play hide-and- seek with them.The restless little ones pushed their way up oyt of bed and went forth into the great, wide, beautiful world, and their father beamed down on them in a way that made them very glad.And after a time their big strong brothers came to play with them.They began very gently, hut you know how brothers are-\u2014how they love to teage and play pranks, and sometimes they get dréadfully.rough.; \u201cBut the children did exactly as their :Wise -mether had bade-them.They brothers play on until they were tired enough to give up the game.- And when the brothers went off by themselves and left \u2018them in peace, heads-and loosened the strings of their funny green bennets: and when their father smiled on them more and more broadly, they grew quite brave and began to let down their skirts.And such skirts ag they were! PMiher and shinier than any satin that was ever made, and the colors were purple and white and erimson and gold, and sôme were striped and some were variegated.Their mother had woven these gorgeous skirts for them in a kind of loom she keeps hidden away in a deep dark cave so far underground that nobody yet has been able to catch her at work.No one can tell how the shuttles are filled or how she spins the fairy thread, but we have all seen the éloth after she has cut and fash- foned it into skirts and green bonnets for those very restless children of hers who persist in jumping early out of bed.You know who they are, don't you~ those children of the green bonnets?You don\u2019t! Well, just you wait, then, until the time of year comes when old Father Sun puts on his first warm spring smile and melts the snow blankets, and the wind brothers leave off their mad March pranks, and old Mother Nature has had timie to get her spring sewing done up.Then go out about the first of May and take a peep at last year's crocus bed, and poke under the withered leaves at the foot of the walnut trees where the violets of the year age lifted their dainty heads.There you'll get a sight of those chil.dien in the green bonnets whose names are\u2014guess what?\u2014'The Continent.\u201d : p\u2014\u2014\u2014 WHAT SAITH THE SCRIFTURBE ?April 17.Where is the way where light dwell- eth?\u2014Job xxxvili., 19.Jesus said, I! am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life~\u2014John viii, 12.- O send out thy light and thy truth; Jet them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill.\u2014Ps.xii, 3.\u2014 E\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 HONOR FOB LORD KITCHENER.London, April\u2019 17.\u2014Lerd Kitchener has taken possession of Broome Park, s handsome country residence in Kent, held on to their green bonnets and ducked their dainty heads and let the |.|100-Ik.TO THE YARD eTREL RAILS.| why, the children just held up their | 1H ALLAN LINE.ait = UE ™ .ft John.Halifax TUNISIAN .Ap \u2014 VICTORIAN .Apl.ApL 29 From Montreal and Quebec.sy 2 June 30 May 12 June 9 July 1?-May 19 June 18 July 12 May 26 June 3 July 21 loon passage, $70.00 to $37.50 and Second Cabin, $47.50, $50.00 suc\u2019 ® London, $3.80 Laditionsy, Thi ï 330 \" , London an \u2018asgow, X and al.according to steamer.mo TO GLANGOW.Corsican Virginian Tunitian .Victortan 8 up: .Ionjan .May 6 June 3 July 1 Grampian .May 13 June 10 y à tian .May 20 June 17 July 16 cotis.espotan \u2026 May 37 June 24 July 23 8S, Grampian and Hesperian: Saloon, 967.50, and up.Second Class, $41.50, and up.Other steamers.ne.Class Cabin, nailed second abla.$45.00, and up; Third Class, $30.00.BHAL TO KAVRE AND LONDON.MODERATE RATE SERVICE ictllan .May -6 June 10 July 15 ardinian .May 13 June 17* July 23® Pomeranian May 30 July 1% Aug.$* Erie .June 3 July 8 Aug.13 *Do not call at Havre.One Class\u2014Second Cabin Rate\u2014Lon- don, $42.50; Havre, $45 and $52.80 and up; Paris, $8.65 additional.Third Class: London, $29.00; Hayre, $29.00; Parle, KINDLING WOOD LAYTON BROS.CABINET GRAND, POR SALER LION\u2014Kinéling, LE wood, $3.00; Min Block ad, J.C.MACDIARM liam street.Tel.M.452.THE MIL- Cut Hard- _ $1.75 r 402 Wii- gsc up-to-date, delightful tone.Wag 50.Now $255.Payable $10 cash and 37 & month.LAYTON BROS, 850 St.Catherine street West (corne Stanley street).\u2018FOR SALE, TWO BEPARATE Graves in central portion Cemetery, Sections B in person, after 3 Apply, to 111 Champlain p.m.or by letter, street.Whe Str Dominion teem PORTLAND, MB.IIVERPOOL Megantio, April 89 | FOR SALE \u2014 HOUSEHOLD FURNIture, quartered oak, almost new.Electric and Bas fixtures.Gas stove, carpets, etc.A snap.90 Columbia avenue, Westmount.\"MONTREAL - \u2018QUEBEC - LIVERPOOL.Dominion .9 3 \u20140 anads .May 13 .June 17 July Laurentio.Ma J 34 ; ag Teutonic .75 Jay 1 July 20 May 27 Southwark, June 7, Specis!

the fifth ils very long.The knives are covered with two hander- chiefs, one white, the other Ted.The padrino and a second chosen for his adversary take the knives, with the double aüxed blades, the head of the \u2018amorra takes the long knife.while the candidate and his opponent grasps the others.When the capo «ries, in the name of Saints Cosmo and Damien, \u2018one, tow, three.the combat begins.It continues untll one or the other is «tabbed in the arm.When this is done the victor immediately sucka the wound.kisses hig opponent as a bond f friendship, and bandages the Injury with the white handkerchief, taken from the basin.Each new member admitted raust pay to the contaiulio $3 as an entrance fee, half of which goes to the head of the Camorra, and the other half to a fund - the purchase of a banquet.When there is such a deep rooted antagonism betwen the candidate and his opponent, that one of the two must fall forever, the duel, or tirata, is termed \u2018of the box.A IROQUOIS\u2019 CAPTAIN HELD ManslaughterCharged Again t Captain Sears\u2014Damag- ing Evidence.Victoria, B.C., April 17.\u2014Capt.A.A.sears, master of the steamer \u2018Iroquois,\u2019 vhich foundered a week ago when 21 Ives were lost, was arrested on Satur- \u2018ay night on instructions from At- nrney-General Bowser, and was re- cased on $30,000 bail.The case will © heard in the Police Court next \u2018hursday.The charge is man- laughter.At the Government Inquiry, con- ucted by Capt.Eddis, on Saturday ight, several witnesses denied the tatements of Capt.Sears.John Ben- ett declared that Sears made no at- 'mpt whatever to rescue the pas- engers in the water.Harry Moss, a passenge®™ said urser Munro was apprehensive of anger on leaving Sidney wharf.she's going, I know she's going;

meant, says Mr, Fern, \u2018the automatic method of all our schools which produces automatons, as like makes like, instead of originators.\u2018But how do you get results that will satisfy the parents of these children?\"We never do anything for them until they ask us, und that they ask, you may be sure,\u201d Mrs.Fern replied.\u2018We give them a block or we give them a hammer.\u2018Not until they come to us do we say: \u201cThat is a hammer you are using.\u201d nor is it necessary to say: \u201cYou drive nails with that.\u201d The child does with it as it sees fit, and soon finds out for himself that he can drive nails and do several other things also.The child fs its own teacher and develops individuality.Self development is the most important thing of all to encourage.They destroy many things in our playroom, but this is the point.Children sense the power of all things through destruction rather than construction.\u201cThey work out their own problems in their own way,\u2019 said Mr.Fern, \u2018We \u201chave a small block in our school that is perforated with pin holes.These holes are merely the design of the work to be gone through each in turn with colored yarn, and the pattern will come out after the pupil has drawn the colored yarn through al the holes one after another.Now that 18 being taught to the children.and they do it.In our school we do \u201cmot \u2018have those pin holes.We let the children go about it as they please.Now the difference between our way, or rather the children\u2019s way, and the kindergarten way is that 45 children at a playroom will give 45 different designs from the same mimber of blocks.\u2018They will differ one from another in some little particular.In the ease of the kindergarten you wil) have 45 similar designs and individuality is annihilated, because if the least variations is shown \u2018in one small part the child is told that is wrong: It is taught that red yarn is to be used here, white there, and so forth, and the result in originality is nil.And, mind you, the children after a while\u2014 in their prismatic order without knowing there was such a thing.had never heard of such prismatic order: There 18 no special time for any study.It is carried out on the principle that no six, or even less, have exactly the same étate of mind to study arithmetic or geography at a certain time, say eleven o'clock.Children are born with concentration.It is broken up by parents who take the child's mind away from what it is fixed on by having it do what the parent mind thinks is far better.and this system and organization, which is the curse of all our public schools.is made paramount in teaching.and the child, the principle thing is.forgotten.\u2019 When asked if the results thus .achieved were as good as under present methods taught in public schools, .Mr.Ferns sald they were far ahead, \u201cand often mothers would ask him \u201chow it was that their children could read and write without being taught.Just as soon as the child finds it needs to know.the educator is asked and then is told, as concentration is fixed _ at that time for that purpose.One of his pupils at the age of nine knew as much as a good many men did of tools and their uses, but had never been to any school but the play réom.: At that age he wanted to go to school.At the age of twelve he graduated from the public schools and had to wait three years before hé could go to Harvard College.He 3 too young to be allowed to as a student.\u2018Both Mr.and Mrs.Fern are en- xy thusiastic in their chosen fleld- of

says, \u2018Children, as soon as they grow old enough, go to the street to play.They may jump rope or they may play at marbles, but you will always find these little ones in groups very near their own homes.We provide the place so near to their house, or where they would naturally play, that they are not looking upon it as being strange.The same environment exist as though they were still an the streets.Consequently they are social and help one another.\u2019 : ' \u2018Would such a .school be practised in Montreal?It would be practical anywhere, and I would like to see one started here.\u2019 k THE CHURCHES AND WAR The Bev.R.W.Dickie Says They Have Done Little to Abolish it.Preaching in Crescent Sireet Presbyterian Church last night, the Rev.R.W.Dickie gave a strong indictment of the attitude of the Church towards war, Jdescribing it as a blasphemous spectacle.The early Chnistians, he said, were lovers of peace, but after the lapse of three hundred years the Roman temper got into the church, and the Church became mixed up with the state, and since then had done little towards the abolition of war.| Mr.Dickie referred to the belief of Gladstone and Bright, in the middle of last century, that International peace would follow international trade.Instead of that, however, the last sixty years he sald, had been the bloodiest in the Christian era.4 The preacher next dwelt on the crushing weight of European armaments, which were constantly increasing, but saw hopeful signs for the future in the Inventions anihilating space and time and making intercommunication between nations easy.The proposed arbitration treaty between Great Britain and the Unité States was another hopeful , à showed that the great Engiish-speak- ing nations realizéd the horror amd futility of war.; Mr.Dickie earnestly-hoped that the spirit of the era of peace seen oy Isaiah in a vision, when swords are to be turned into ploughshares and spears into pruning forks, would soon aai- mate the earth.re \u2018RAVENSCRAG\u2019 ON FIRE, Slight Damage Done by Outbreak - \u2014 in Furnace Room.The residence of Sir Montagu Allan, \u2018Ravenscrag was visited by a fire yesterday morning, and
