channel of the St.Lawrence this season, Attended by serious damage to the large cargo vessels of the Elder- Dempster and other lines, and more particularly by reason of the conflicting statements of the various interests as to facts, the Minister of Marine has decided that an examination shall be instituted without delay into the location of the buoys and spars which mark the line of the channel, five hundred feet in width, and which is supposed to be perfectly safe for all boats plying up to Montreal.The step is taken mainly at the request of tne Underwriters\u2019 Association and care will be taken to see that the invest:zation is full and complete as to each particular point.Sir Louis Davies has made up his mind that if the facts go to -how that misplaced buoys are responsible to any degree for the mishaps no expense will be spared to make the aids to ravigation what they should be.The engineers say that it is simply impossible to get any spar or buoy that will not drift in a storm unless it is fastened by meaas of piles to the bed of the river.They add though that every precaution in their power bas been taken.The enquiry will begin on Oct.4.It will he conducted by Mr.Anderson, chief engineer of the Marine Department, and with bim will be associated Mr.Fraser one of his assistants, and representatives of the pilots, of the underwriters and all interests concerned will be invited to join in the inspection.FOREIGN MEDALS, NEW REGULATIONS PROMULGATED GOVERNING THEIR ACCEPTANCE.Ottawa, Sept.24.\u2014To-day\u2019s \u2018Canada Gazette\u2019 contains a despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies which arnounces a new set of regulations respecting foreign orders and medals.No Pritislt subject may accept a foreign order to wear the insignia thereof without Living previously obtained Her Majesty's permission to that effect, It is further provided that the foreign decoration shall have been ropferred in consequence of active and distinguished service, either at sea or in the field.Such permission will not be given to any subject of ler Majesty except-in the following.\u201cses, jf recommended specially by the | -vcretary of

expressed \u2018by a number of bis constituents, who desire to know his opinion on the question of prohibition, Sir Henri Joly de Lot- biniere will be at Cap Sante, the chef- lieu of Portneuf county, on Sunday, Sept.25, after mass.PUZZLING THE BLEUS.The Bleu politicians are quite puzzled to find out what brought Chevalier Dro- let to Quebec on Thursday.What was the object of his prolonged interview with Sir Wilfrid Laurier yesterday marn- ing, and what, afterwards, led him to pay a visit to several ef the provincial ministers at the parliament buildings ?STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.During a thunderstorm a few\u2019 days ago the school-house on Bonaventure Island, Gaspé, was struck by lightning, the electric fluid descending through the chimney and stovepipe into the stove,which it smashed to pieces.The scholars, with their teacher's were in at the time, and all were more or less shocked.Two of the children were afterwards found lying on the floor.A little girl of five years was knocked senseless, and a small boy had one of his legs badly burned, while all, strange to say, had their footwear damaged.The teacher had hers almost torn to pieces and one of her stockings burned, yet sustained no other injury.After smashing the stove, the bolt appears to have passed through a, window and into the ground.NOTES.Another old Quebec landmark has just disappeared, in the person of Mr.Robert Rogers, aged 92, who Was for many years one of the doorkeepers of the Legislative Council.He leaves a widow and two children, Miss Rogers, organist of Trinity Church, and Mr.W.B.Rogegs;

As the company paid the city to clear ithe snow away from its road, it was only fair the city should pay for its negli- \u2018gence.The company, however, would {not press for the amount if the.city would spend the sum in putting gullies \u2018between the tracks.Such action would prevent the flooding of the tracks in the future.; Ald.MeBride took the occasion to remark that before the company demanded money from the city for such cases, it should hand over to the.corporation the $32,000 due it for disputed percentages.Mr.Archer replied in soothing tones that the city could sue the company for the amount.Ald.Beausolell\u2014 Yes, and Sot got it.\u2019 \u2014 © -~The elaim wae-reférved to the esby at torney to look fato, pret a éluim from the same company for $61 for damages to a car by the bursting of a water main on St.James street.Upon the question of the revision of the voters\u2019 lists being brought up, Mr.Dillon, president of the Board of Asses sors, said that in former years the government had paid half of the cost of the work.From a recent law passed the work of \u2018the revision had been put upon the assessors, and Mr.Dillon wanted to know if the government would share half of the cost as heretofore.If the assessors had to do the work they wou'd have to employ more labor.The cost to the city would be about fifteen hundred dollars.The city clerk said he had seen certain members of the government and had been given to understand that the city would have to bear the whole cost of tha \u2018work, as it was work that the city should do.Ald.Ekers\u2014T cannot see why the employees of the City Hall cannot do the work.We have plenty of them.\u2019 Mr.Dillon held that the employees would not do the work gratis.Ald.McBride also thought the civic employees should do the work.Mr.Dillon\u2014\u2018The civic employees will do the work :if they 'are paid extra for it\u201d It was Ald.Ekers\u2019s opinion that no extra pay should be given.The city treasurer said he had no money to pay for such work.He made the suggestion that the assessors, with employees of the treasurer\u2019s department, should do the work, and leave the matter of allowing them something extra to rest with the Finance Committee.\u2018We certainly should not allow our employees to dictate what extra pay they should get as they want to do;

Nonsense, nonsense !\u2019 he answered testily, and, bidding.her good-bye, started briskly down the street.John Hardy was an influential member of society in M\u2014\u2014\u2014, and it grieved his wife sorely that no argument would induce him to see the temperance question in her light.People would point to him and say, there was Jack Hardy, now, a good-hearted well-to-do old fellow; what better could they hope to be; and they would ask him his opinion on temperance.She watched him a little while as he walked quickly toward the river, which flowed through M\u2014\u2014, and then, with another sigh, went in.It was late that evening when John Hardy returned home, close upon mide | night indeed, and the streéts were.well nigh deserted.One of the old friends had proved to he a staunch te worker, and discussion had wax AE apd \u2018high.The | ime achinl: os pected though their en had wl to greatly enhance the value'of what he called freedom in John Hardy's eyes.He was just thinking what an irrepars- ble loss to the cause of freedom it would be if the prohibition cause won in the coming election.His still firm step sounded on the bridge when his attention was attracted by a fierce suppressed moan and he turned in the direction of the sound.A man leant over the railing and stared down at the river.It was easy to see from his build that he was but a young fellow .and from his clothes that he was very poor.Fearful of some tragedy and full of pity, the old gentleman stepped up ard laid his band on the lad\u2019s shoulder.The young man started and turned a tht, haggard, desperate face to the kind eyes gazing in his.\u2018My poor boy, why are you here?Who is your father ?\u2019 \u2018What good would it be to tell you?It would certainly not increase your respect for me.It is quite sufficient and the dead truth to say I am the son of misery and wretehedness } * was the bitter response as he held himself well out of reach of the kindly touch.\u2018Poor lad, poor lad ! you mustn't talk so; just think what chances you have for life with your youth and freedom.The word arous2d dormant thoughts and he warmed to his pet subject: \u2018Freedom ! just think of it, boy! a free man in a free land !\u2019 \u2018The son of a slave in a land where men are bought and eold, body and soul both, if they are weak \u2018enough to permit it,\u201d he broke in harshly.\u2018Aye! and not only thal; but I am « sive iny- self ! 1 tell you the demon is in me.In it my fault that it is there ?Wasn't it born and bred in me?!

you can hardly step out for swarms of Arabs who fight for your baggage.On the night of July 12 he.platform showed gaunt, and large, and empty.The streets were hardly better\u2014a few listless Arabs in the square outside the station, and then avenue on avenue of SILENT DARKNESS, By daylight Cairo looked like a ballroom the morning after.One hotel was shumelessly making up a rather battered face against next sesson.The verandah of Shepheard\u2019s, where eix months ago you could not move for tee-tables nor hear the bend for the buzz of talk, was quite empty and lifeless ; only one per- epiring waiter hinted that this was an hotel.The Continental, the centre of Cairene fashion, hed a whole wing shuttered up ; the mirrors in the great hall ¢ were blind with whiting, and, naked suites of bedroom furniture camped ont in the great dining-room.Some shops were shut ; the rest wore démi-toilettes of shutter and blind ; the dozing shopkeepers seemed half resentful that anys body should wish to buy im such weather As for scarahs and necklaces and curiosities of Egypt, they no tanger pretended}, an to think go pay sane i very pi i Jooked as if or were © taking a \u201coliday.All that, was mo more thea \u2018you \u2018êr- pected ; you knew that no tourists came to Egypt in July.But mative Egypt was out of season, too.The streets that clacked with touts and beggars, that jingled with every kind of hawker\u2019s rub- bish\u2014you paesed along them down a vista of closed jalousies and saw not a ' soul, heard not a sound.The natjves must be somewhere, only where ?À few you saw at road-making, painting, and the like jobs of an off-season.But EVERY NATIVE WAS DULL, listless, hanging from hia stalk, half dead.Eves were languid and \u2018lustreless ; the painter's head drooped and swayed from side to side, and the brush almost fell fron: hig, lax fingers.In the narrow bevel of shadow left under a wall by the e high sun, flat on back or face, open- mouthed, half asleep, half fainting, gasped Arab Cairo\u2014the parasite of the tourist im his holiday, the workman leaving his work, donkey-boy and donkey flat and panting together.Well might they gasp and pant.For the air of Cairo was half dead, too.You might drive in it at night \u2018and feel it whistle round you, but it did not refresh you.You might draw it into your lungs, but it did not fill them.The air had no quality in rt, no body; it was thin, used up, motionless, too limp to live in.The air of August London is stale and close, poor; exaggerate it fifty- fold and you have the air of July Cairo.You wake up at night dull and faced and clammy with sweat, less refreshed than when you lay down.You live on what sleep you can pilfer during the hour of dawn.As you drive home at night you envy the dark figure in a gala- beah streiched on the pavement of Kasr- en-Nil bridge; there omly in Cairo can you feel a faint stirring in the air.To put all in one word, Egypt lacks its Nile.The all-fathering river is at his lowest and weakest.In places he is neerly dry, and what water he can give the cracked fields is pale, green, unfertile, He was beginning te rise now, slowly: presently would come the flood and the he manuring water.The night wind tw strongly over his broadened bosom, the green would spring out of the mud, and Egypt WOULD BE ALIVE AGAIN.Only in one place was she alive yet\u2014 and that was the Continentgl Hotel.There all day sat, and came, and went clean-limbed young men in flannels, and at dinner-time the terrace was cool with white mess jackets.Outside was the only crowd of natives in Cairo\u2014a thick line of Arabs squatting by the opposite wall, nursing testitnonials earned .or bought, cooks and valets and grooms\u2014waiting to be hired to go up the Nile.Up at the Citadel they would show you the great black up-standing .forty-pounder guns with which they æbané to'breacb Ebar- torm.Out at Alfmesiely the 21st Leone There was no difference in Port Baid.| ers were changing their troop borbes for Ismailia was not appréciably Gender]: i 2 remet gars age, LORD CROMER.® British Agent and Con sul-General i in Egypt.lighter Syrians and country-breds.The with tents, and under a.breathless\u2019 aftér- marched in fromthe station to fill thei.heads at the bands the Rifles held their shoulders aquare, ad stepped out with a tle.Engliahenén must stand up and march in | #.You see it is his coun y, and hej, Tanst, set \u2018Wn example, And FA thus Ni go.de in the operations | nosed and wis.present ju ete id alag in Egyptian ® army was being\u2019 rps barrack-yard of Kaer-en-Nil was yellow Sir Evelyn Wood, he roi \u2018service, and was noon sun the blackbelted Rifle Brigade {two majors of the cavalry.\u2019 assistant-adjutant pat qui The wilted - Arabé hardiy tarned their |eral in the Nile expedition was: in command \u2018of a.Egyptian ar Suakim in 18 The Egyptian mhy feel the sun;

he has £1,800,000.In sovereigns this sum would form a column 9,072 feet high, that is, as high as nipe Eiffel towers one on top of the other, with a Leaning Tower of Pisa to crown the struc ture.Computed in the:samie way, the Queen\u2019s salary is only one Eiffel tower high.If laid in sovereigns along the road the Czar\u2019s salary would reach from Hyde Park to Maidstone, over twenty- six miles, while the Queen\u2019s would only extend five nriles, or from Hyde Park to Turnhani-green.Queen Victoria costs her subjects less money than any othr | monarch, that is, only 2%d a year per person.The Shah of Persia is the mest expensive ;

subsequently he returned to Cyprus and made a survey of the entire island.He resumed military [service in 1882.when.-bearing that an - With weet perfusie and lovely blog: Beneath a burning tropic sun, \u2019Monget other islands, Hes this one:- To lead to its secluded lair A.deep and narrow winding atair Climbs up from low where brçaiee the.tide, Along the rough steep mountain.ide, Up to \u2018where high-walled causées.Clear through the rugged rocks, have left .A papsage to this blest abode;

We seem to have either à feast or a famine with this fruit, and this is the year of feasting.1 have often wondered how it is that the cur- culio destroys them so effeetually some years, and this season, when a few could be spared, it does not make much difference to the crop, for the trees have all been over-laden, and some wise people say they will not survive.This fruit ccmes to us from Asia, and was not known in Englend till the fifteenth century.But it is a general favorite, and many excursions wre made this season to the plum trees, as the beds of asters and verbenas can testify, for they carry the footprints of those who .reach for these trens-tres, not \u2018the first flowers of sentiment that have been crushed in the search for a \u2018plum.\u2019 In the vegetable garden Francois has been busy pulling up onions.He is a wiry little fellow, An\u2019 whe comes alopg every morning with, end dinner paik-and-1 no spik EngHah,* ie his salutation,- ith any one ventures to expostulate when \u2018he fails to do his duty.But the onions are in rows their vellow globes turned up to dry, quite unaware of the scorn with which some people regard their usefulneds.Francois has no such scruples, und appropriates one every day os a pungent addition to his lunch.Meanwhile, it is time the tender garden vegetables were safely housed from frost, though parsnips, celery and turnips wiil be none the worse of the first faint icy breath.Parsley, sage, thyme and mint are the housewife\u2019s care, to pick and dry and put away in tins or bottles for winter use.Squashes and pumpkins must be gathered in the sunshine, and care- fnlly handled so as not to bruise, or de- cav will set in.Weeds, gone to seed, are still in evidence in the garden, and it is a curious fact that though passing them by all the week, there is an impulse to pull them.up when one goes out on Sabbath morning ; indeed, they seem to faunt themselves before us as much as to sav, \u2018I am quite safe to-day.\u2019 I find most people understand that keeping up a garden is a great deal of work.There was a back countryman here lately who, after admiring the flowers, expressed general opinion in the following remark © \u2018Gosh.it\u2019s a wonder how you get it tended to.Out our way we pay men a dollar and a quarter a day, and it would cost more than it\u2019s worth to keep it up,\u201d which was a doubtful comnli- ment to the garden\u2019s value.But that is the very worst of the sentiment, or non-sentiment, of the day.Everything ia judged from a money point of view.Looking at my house plants, a western man once asked : \u2018Do you make any money out of them ?\u2019 and I felt such a righteous scorn that I did not anawer the question.So in the garden the question as to whether it pays depends altogether on the profit that the owner has in view and wherein the pleasure can be derived.Looking over the garden to-day where frost must soon destroy many of the beautiful flowers that T cannot take into my window garden, and remembering the warning of the florist a few weeks ago to \u2018grow a few plants and care for them well,\u201d I feel a pang of regret that I cannot shelter them all.And any reader oi these columns who would like a double white, or a double pink, or a double crimson geranium, for a window garlen, can have one mailed by sending me their address and two cents for postage.a bed of blue ageratum can be given away hy the same method, and it will be a pleasure to know that someone is caring for the plants that my hospitable windows ot hold, Let me repeat, a white, pink, or crimson keranium, ageratum (blue), and bridal roses, to be given away, to any flower l'ver who will send address and two cents for postage, on each plant.\u201c Next week we hope to plant our bulbe for spring flowering, ;and as\u2019 it is time for this work, I would sdvise readers to be prepared to dé-lifeswiss, It is no wee to say next spring that we would like a works} iq QUESTIONS ANT AND AN SWERS.FUCHSLIAS.- C.S.W., Belmont, Man.\u2014 Sends leaf | Het fuchsias that have become | \u2018brown\u2014aad | i asks several questions of the same \u2018kind regarding her house-plants.Ans.\u2014The leaf was shown to an expert, who, without kndwing anything about the circumstances, said, \u2018The leaf has been burned, scorched by too strong spray mixture perhaps,\u2014I think there are symptomes of red spider, and the only thing to do is to wash the plants in clean water once every day, and oftener if possible.If water is- heated.to 130 degrees it will kill the spider and not injure the plant \u2014one dip of this, getting the water on the under side of the leaves, will be ef- fectual\u2014then keep up the daily showering, with cool cleen water.The red spider is so small: that it cannot be well distinguished;

rich, health- giving blood; by making mew muscle, bone and sinew, that will take the place of those worn out daily and hourly.This can be done ir one way \u2014 in one way only.That is by ensuring perfect digestion.If our food is perfectly digested, it forms rich, healthy blood.Rich, pure, healthy blood forms bone, muscles, sinew and nerves.These are necessary to good health, strength and vigor.If you use Dodd\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets\u2014 one after each meal\u2014\u2018every bite\u2019 of food you eat will be promptly and thoroughly digested.It makes no difference whether your stomach is out of order or-noti Dodd's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food themselves.Then.a full supply of \u2018rich, pros blood is ensured.t.means strength, vigor, and the power font = joy life and its opportunities.seasons, but many people risk planting thirty feet apart each : varieties such as Russet sorts, such as Setosfaky, Duchess or Xel- low Transparent, can | : Good trees are of the greatest\u2019 importance, and true to name, or.the.result is disappointing.DAHLIAS, - A question comes from \u201cCharlottetown as to.the time to lift dahlias.Ansi\u2014As soon as the top: withers and before hard frost they must be taken up.It has been a year of failure everywhere \u201cfor this flower, for even when growing well the flowers have b:en blight=d this season.My * own large bed of dahlias has not pro-|: duced one perfect flower, though _the tubers.were pârchased of several and some were saved all winter in\u2019 Box of sand in theoetler.«I ve spoken \u2018to world: : &ry apell tr viilirürèmér \u201d 12 they 6 have been kept covered.with an wing | and the roots kept constantly watered it might have been different, but one sel dom thinks of this in time.This plant loves water and needs it more than some] others that can get along till a shower comes.The tubers must be stored in sand to keep them from 'shrifiking.They generally winter easily.rer SIGNS THAT FAILED._ (FE.W.Preble, in the Boston \u2018Globe.\u2019) O he was just the slickest o\u2019 any fellow round, His speech was maple syrup, his.gyaile\u2019 was one he found, In the bottom of a-hogshead, when \u201cthe ) \u2019lasses wes run dut, - An\u2019 it kind o\u2019 trickled down his face\u2019 as he kerried it about;

In the month of November two friends of mine who were visiting me, concluded to try what luck they would have shooting caribou in the woods of northern New Brunswick.Both of them were city-bred lads, one, Charles Scott, was from Boston, Mass., the other, Harry Edgeworth, belonged to Manchester, England.This was their first visit to Canada, and as neither of them had bad any holidays for two ycars they were bent on making the most of them.Charles was a bright, active lad of seventeen, full of fun, good-tempered, and easily led.He was a telegraph 9 tor, employed by a railway com- D in the United Sistes, sud.bed to ken advantage of \u2018his vacation to visit his northern cousins.; Harry had just finished his apprenticeship in his father\u2019s machine shops in Manchester and, on account of poor health, had taken this trip to New Brunswick.His father had been in this country some years ago, and thinking that a trip here would do his son good, had sent him over.The climate et emed to agree well with him, for he no wcon- sidered himself equal to almost anything and laughed when I told him of the twelve or fifteen mile tramps which we were likely to have if we went hunting caribou.Brought up in the city of Manchester where, as he said, almost every person teck beer, he had a fondness for a glass himself.He would always say when talked to about it, it does me no harm.Who ever heard of a glass of beer doing harm to a boy?It may harm a man who gets too fond of it but I do mot intend to do so, I will stop taking it if I get that far.Mr, Edgeworth, the father, had hunted over the ground that we were going to when he was in this country, and had advised his son, before he left hone, if be felt strong enough, to take a trip to the hunting grounds.He had also recommended a guide, who had been out with him, for whom he had a great regard, Though Mr.King, the guide whom Mr.Edgeworth had spoken of, was in great demand at this season of the year, we had succeeded in securing his ser- MR.KING.vices, principally, J think, out' of the regard he had for s father, We loft the town of Q\u2014 in the afternoon, the morning of the day having brought what we had been waiting for, the first snow.As explanation for those who do not know, l must here state that snow is necessary for caribou hunting, first, because you can find the game more easily by the tracks vhich they leave on the snow, and also because in the hard weather that precedes winter here, the ground freeses so hard that even in the woods you can hear a footfall on it for quite a distance.Befere starting Harry said to me, \u20181 guess I'll take some stuff with me to treat the guide with; all these country fellows like a drink, I know.\u2019 \u2018In this case you are mistaken,\u201d I said, -Mr.King does not touch it, and I believe that if you took liquor in to him he would be likely to refuse to accompany us at all\u2019 \u2018Indeed ! How is that ?I thought all woodsmen .drank, especially these Irish- Canadiens\u2019 \u2018Well, Harry, you start the subject of drinking with Mr.King, when you see him; perhaps he will tell you the reason why he does not drink, he has never told me, but I have heard that he has a good one.He has a great liking for your father, who, I have heard him say, was one of the finest gentlemen that he ever acted as guide for.This may ir.Cuce him to tell you the story of part of his life.\u2019 : Seated behind & goed, smart team, we reached the home of Mr.King about seven o'clock.As we stopped in the yard the deor opened, and Mr.King came out, with a lantern in his hand, Imagins a man about six feet high and built in proportion.He wore a pair grey homespun trousers, a dark reefer jacket, which was secured round the waist with a leather belt, and, though the night was cold, the lapels were thrown back, so that his throat waa quite bare and exposed to the wind.On his head was a black felt hat, and his feet were covered with moccasins made of raw caribou skin, the hair being left on and turned out.He came up to the sleigh holding out his hand to the person nearest him, and while a broad smile spread\u2014over his face, he said, \u2018You are welcome, boys.1t\u2019s cold you must be.Away wid you into the house, I'll see after the horses\u201d Leu.\u201cInside we thyes went, tobe welcomed by his wife and family\u2014if not quite so noisily, not less effectivel Mrs.King soon had a good hot supper on the table.After doing justiee to the meal provided by our hostess, we retired \u2018to the sitting room, a nice cosy room off the kitchen.Here again a surprise awaited my city friends.They were surprised to see in one cormer of the room a nice organ, while on the table were books, papers and magazines.Over the organ hung a violin, on which Harry cast loving eyes, as he was passionately fond of music.Charles, who was a great smoker, produced a cigar-case, and offered a cigar to Mr.King, with the remark, \u2018You smoke, I suppose 7\u2019 \u2018No, I do not,\u2019 was the reply.\u2018When I was a young man the girls did not.like the smell of tobacco, so I did not learn to smoke.\u2019 \u2018Ha, ha ! \u2019 laughed Harry, \u2018just what I was telling you the other day as one reason against using tobacco.I thank you, Mr.King, for supporting my argument.\u2019 By this time Mrs.King and her daughters had come in and, on my, requesting them to favor us with some music, one went to the organ while the other took down the violin; thus we spent the next half-hour pleasantly.\u2018Do you think that we shall have good weather for our hunting trip ?\u2019 asked Harry, after the music was over.\u2018I am almost sure you will, replied our guide, \u2018the sun set c\u2019ear to-night, leaving no ragged clouds after him; that is about as good a sign-as I want after a storm has cleared off at noon.\u2019 \u2018What about the game, Mr, King?Is it plentiful?\u2019 FR \u201cWell, I think T can find you some.\u2019 \u2018I hope,\u2019 said Claus, \u2018to shoot quite a lot.\u201d \u201cWhat would be the use of more than one or two to you?\u2018I would just like to shoot them for the fun.\u2019 \u201cShoot them with no use for them! Just for the fun of killing them! That is strange; do you think they do not enjoy living just as much as you do?If a man wants a caribou, for use (and any man can find use for ome), it is all right to shoot it, but T do not think that it is right to kill any of God's creatures \u201cjust for fun.\u201d I will show you to-morrow how well he has provided for them.The winter after the fire which burned almost all this country, I have heard my father say that there was a growth of moss on the burned trees which the caribou used to eat, and that he never saw the same kind grow on them again.Of course, it was the effects of the fire; but it was goed for the caribou.Boys, you can never find a better place, where you can see #0 much ot the foresight of an all-wise Providence than in the woods.I do not know how young men find room to breathe in the cities.\u2019 | \u2018Allie (meaning his daughter) and I went down to Halifax to see the regatta, and were sick of it in two days, Of course the regatta was nice, and we enjoyed ourselves some, too, but I was just longing to get home again.No place like home, I say.\u2019 How long he would have kept on I cannot say, as just then we heard the Jingle of sleigh-beHs, accompanied by the sound of voices.The newcomers turned in at the gate, and drove into the yard singing, \u2018M-C-G-I-L-L | What's the matter with old McGill?She's all right,\u2019 \u2018Who can this be, I wonder.Guess I'll go and see.\u2019 As Mr.King opened the door we heard, \u2018Hello, old man, we want you to go hunting with us.\u2019 \u201cOh, you do, do you?No, boys, you are too late this time.I have another party in the house that I start with tomorrow.\u2019 \u2018Say, never mind those fellows, they're only swipes, take us won't you?Say, we have two gallons of good stuff with us, chuck it, I say; we'll double their cash \u2018No, T promised them, so I must go with them.Besides, I would just as soon take two devils into the woods as yeur two gallons of good stuff.No, my word is given, and I never break it: 1 will take you next week if you like: but, mind, no whi >: They refused his invitation to come into the house, and started off.creates the thirst for more;

\u2018Yes, and s0 is strychnine, and that will kill you just a little quicker.Yes, boys, there is a place for liquor jn the drug store, with the other poisons, to be sold in the same way, well diluted with water, and the more water the better.\u2019 \u2018But we must make-a good early start s0 as to be nice and comfortable by tomorrow night; I do not like to make you lads tremp too far to-morrow, so 1 think that Jim may as well drive up the first ten or eleven miles.I cannot help thinking that a story of my experience with liquor may do you some good, Mr.Edgeworth; you shall hear it to-morrow night when we camp.\u2019 .Roused by our guide, as Harry said, in the middle of the night, we tame down to our breakfast about five next Morning.cleaning and overhauling our rifles, we started about eight o'clock for the hunting ground.The ground to which we were going lies be.| tweon the head-waters of two rivers, named Little and Big Revor.| While driving along on Mr.Kings team, I asked him the meaning of these names.He said that the rivers wére called after an Indian chief of gma lor cal note.The chief\u2014so the story went ~was a remarkably strong man.'® It is told that once when out hunttég along betwen {wo rivers he lay down to rest.Himself.\u201cKe stood ki gun up against a tree and rolled abidut: on the grass, till he put some little dis-/ tance between himself and it.-On look- wood and piled it up rea = A Fo a OR N \u2018M-c-G-I-L-L.WHAT'S: THE MATTER WITH OLD cw =.- MCGILL : vas covered with trees, piled one on top of another, crossed and re-crossed.The limbs had rotted off, and many of the trees were covered with moss, Onr guide told us that some twenty years ago a fire ran through this part of the wood and burnt these trees, but not to such an extent that they would fall at once.But a year after, a gale struck this portion of the wood and cleared it out as completely as a woodsman could.It is remarkable that though the fire burnt much more of the country, the wind only blew down the portion I have spoken of.\u2018Why could they not be used for saw- logs ?\u201d asked my friend ; \u2018it would save chopping them.\u2019 \u2018Because, after a fire has been through lumber,\u201d said Mr.King, \u2018there is a little worm that attacks the trec and bores it so full of holes that it is of no use for.boards.Besides, when these were blown down, lumber much nearer market was plentiful, so these were left to spoil.\u2019 After we had crossed the lot of trees our guide stopped, unslung a bag from his back, and proceeded to get dinner.He fished out a tin kettle, some tea.molasses, and biscuit.Going to a small brook close by, he filled the kettle with water, and put in some tea and molasses.\u2018We had by this time fathered some y for lighting.He then got some dry moss off the trees, and soon lit a good fire.He remarked as he lit the moss, that it was one of the things that the Lord provides forthe caribou.; ; \u2018 You see, boys, in the first of we wine ter, before the snow gets deep, the cars his boy gets his food off the ground; for they can scratch away the slight amount of snow.But when the snow gets to be three or four feet deep, then they eat ing towards it he was atartled to see quite a large bear between him and the he the tree moss.\u2018If you see much moss on the trees ON LOOKING UP HE WAS gun.He at once sprang to his feet, but Mr.Bear was ready for him, nd, eatching him, began to hug him.The Indian seized the bear by the throat with.one hand, while with the other he struck him about the head And\u201d nose, and in this way managed to get clear of him.He then killed the bear with his hunting knife.\\ Revor was for some time a {reat friend of tho eerly French settlers, and he is said to have done them a good many favors.Having fallen under fhe displeasure of the commander of the French forts there, he was accused of treachery towards them and, having been taken prisoner, was tried and condemned to be executed.In escaping from his captors he was drowned while trying to swim the river that now bears his name.About eleven o\u2019clock we left our horses, the guide\u2019s son taking them Lome, and we started to walk to the hunting camp.\u2018Now, boys,\u201d said our guide, \u2018a good smart walk will bring us past the \u201cBlow downs,\u201d then we\u2019ll have dinner.\u2019 \u2018The \u201cblow downs,\u2019 said Charlie, | \u2018what are they ¥ \u2018When you see them you will be surprised,\u2019 said he, \u2018and if you have to | cross them you will wish they had not blown -dewn.\u201d : In about an hour we came to them.After Mr.King had returned to the house, Harry said, \u2018why, are you | much against Yiquor, Mr.King?I am | sure a little of it does not do much : harm.\u2019 \u2018A little of it does all the harm: it | die of the pine wood, and had They locked just as if some one had: started to clear a farm right in the mid- chopped \u2018 or broken the trees off, then Teaving |\u2019 them just ae they fell.he, strip of\u2019 ground was abeut one-eighth of \u2018a mile wide and a mile in length.\u201cPhe ground STARTLED TO SEE A BEAR.in the fall of the year it is a sure sign of a cold, hard winter.Wonderful, sin\u2019t it, boys ?\u201d After we had eaten a good lunch, we started on the plains to walk across to the camp.It must be here that men, who make a business of hunting, generally have two or three camps in different parts of the woods in which\" they keep a store of provisions for the use of themselves, and for the \u2018parties which they from time to time guide to hunt moose or other game.This saves the bunting party from having to earry provisions with them, and also nets a nice profit for the guides.About half-past four in the afternoon we arrived at our camp.It was built .on a small, round hill of considerable ADVERTISEMENTS.For Colds and cougns and all lung troubles i3 the standard remedy, Medical Advich Faby\u201d Address, J.C.AYER CO, [Dyes all that the manufacturers promise 1 great brilliancy.To those who have been BIT height, at the foot of which, forming à half eirole round it, lowed a small brook which joined the river about fifty or { sixéy yards below.- \u2018Any fish in that river 7 asked my friends, as soon as we osught miëht of it.- : .- \u201cI think not, except, perhaps, some small ones;

but still we must have some laws to protect our fish and game.So we have a close season.Some of the people that make these laws, as in this ease, do not know much about what they are trying to protect, or, perhaps, they purposely make the laws to suit the anglers.This particular one is more for the benefit of the anglers in summer than for any protec tion of the fish.But we must excuse the poor law-makers, they have never lived in the woods and watched the ways of birds, beasts and fishes.They e missed lots \u2018of real pleasure and ins®uction by not having done so.But come, boys, look alive and get ready for the night.\u2019 (To be continued.) \u2014\u2014 [For the \u2018Witness.\u2019 KEEP SWINGING YOUR AXE!

more \u2018momentous than the American Revolution, the conquest of Canada, the founding of the Australian colonies, and of our mighty Indian empire.: The progress of the movement against slavery was then sketched, and it was pointed out that in all great moral and political reforms there are three stages : Firat, that in which the promoters are called cranks, and merely laughed at; secend, when they are called fools, fanatics and dangerous disturbers of the public peace ; and, finally, when the reform is triumphant and its promoters are enrolled among the benefactors of mrokind, Prohibition has passed out of the first class, and the people of Canada had now ar opportunity to usher it into its final stage.; In an address of such limited duration tha best method to adopt would be to consider the objections raised, \u201cwhich were three :\u2014Revenue loss, violation of rersonal liberty and impossibility of enforcing a prohibitory law.It was a case of history repeating itself.When avery was attacked ita defenders wrged that it was the nürdery of Endland\u2019s sa:l- | ors, necessary to her commercial supremacy and essential to the cultivation of the rich portions of tropical America.1t was beyond question-that the liquor traflic in Canada cansed the death annually of thousands of men, and en- fecbled the productive power of other thousands, that it caused terrible extravagance among classes little sbls to bear it and involved large expenditures to care for the paupers and criminals produced by it, and yet the people of Canada were told that a measure calculated to remove a large proportion of these evils would be financially dangerous ! This would pie little dis emong thinking people.Even if it lost us ol) the revenue, OM red without any serie lens, one Ould be heartless and selfish enough to refuse the loss providing it saved the precious lives now thrown away and minimized the unspeakable misery, wretchedness and poverty eprigg- ing directly from intemperance.As a matter of fact, however, there were no dangers or even inconveniences, from a financial standpoint to be apprehended from the enactment of prohibition.As to the question of personal liberty, Mr.Dickey pointed out that the evolution of civilization might be summed up in the statement that it was the surrender of the former liberties of indivi- dvrals for the sake and benefit of the community.The savage was free to do whut seemed good to him, without ary restraint.As civilization progressed, the individual was more and more obliged to govern his actions in the interest ot the community.In no age had this tendency been so pronounced and its progress so marked as in the present.Unselfishness, sympathy, altruism, had entered into the life nnd sentiment of civilized peoples, especially of Anglo Saxons.By Mr.Gladstone's exposure ot the Bulgarian atrocities the heart of Enz- land was so touched at the sulering of this alien people, that she for the mo ment reversed all her traditions of her foreign policy and stood ready to fight all comers.A similar instance was the Anmierican-Spanish war, just closed.This spirit found its way into legislation.Factory acts, Sunday legislation, sanitary leaislation, labor legislation, our crminal cede and innumerable other statutes were direct interferences with personal Jiber- ty for the pb MES could not Seale oa Tap Soy Apacs vlied with governmental To a as to inspection and certificate.The cane of immoral books and pictures was cited.Many persons might claim a right to nee these for artistic, scientific or other purposes and allege with perfecy truth that it would do them no harm.They might fairly argue as the moderate drinker does, \u2018 If I can do this without injury, why should my liberty be interfered with because there are weak persons whom these might hurt.\u201d Yet the vro- hibition principle is applied and the manufacture, importation and sale of such articles is forbidden by law.Does this outrage the freedom of the Britisher * If not, why.should the prohibition of the liquor traffic do so?This tendency of modern legislation, which was cerstantly increasing and extending its sphere, was a solid fact and had to be borne in mind.There was no quarrel with the moderate drinkers, but they must understand that when the public conscience fairly awakes to the evils which are necessarily incident to the sale of liquor, the moderate drinkers will have to forego their liberty, as has been the case with other personal liberties already referred to.The swelling tide of humanitarianism will not be kept back by their little broom-like theories of per: sonal liberty.Men now often give up their drink for the sake of saving a friend who is likely to be drawn into the vortex of habitual intoxication.By and by parliament is going to insist om all moderate drinkers being equally unselfish for the sake of their fellow men.Public feeling is long in getting charged with the electricity of moral conviction, but wheu the saturation point is reached, the \u2018notion is often explosive and rfnr- reaching, and that state is rapidly being resehed on the liquor question.The last objection was the only serious one, viz: the difficulty or impossibility of enforeing a prohibitory law, and the frauds and perjuries that would attend its enforcement.The speaker sketched the history of the laws against smuggling in England during the last 125 years, showing that at the beginning of that period public opinion was bitterly and almost unanimously, in large sections of the country, opposéd to the principle of these laws: 40,000 persons were openly engaged in illegal trading, and were backed by the people in many localities, so that violence, riots and murders were of constant occurrence in connection with attempts to enforce the law.Parliament and the government kept at it, and succeeding generations acquired other ideas until at the present day, although public sentiment cannot be mid to be perfectly sound on that question, it is beyond doubt in faver of the enforcement of the law ,and recognises the |.breach of that law to be a wrong against This showed what eould be done in the way of éducatisn, even in the case of a-law admitted; against Publie sentiment at the outsét.A similar cade wes made out with regard to gsm- bling, whieh pow comes under the ben [CFL | Unbeppily, however PU ue : SIR HENRY M'CALLUM New Governor of Newfoundland.Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Henry Edward MeCallum, RE, K.C.M.G.(Governer.of Lagos), who has been: appdinted Gor- ernor and Commander-in-Chief of the | colony of Newfoundland, in succession to Sir Herbert Horley Murray, K.C.B., is son of Major H.: A.McCallum, R.M.LI.He was born in 1808 spd es inn 1874, Lily, only daughter (died 1895 of Vice-Admiral Johnson.He was for- ly colonial engineer and.reyor-gen- erai \u201cof the Straite.Settlements, and à member of the exécutive and Legialative Councils, 1864-80.of the law, with the approval of a great majority of the people.So, too, with regard to the game laws, which in this province had been persistently\u2019 enforded in the teeth of public sentiment by few far-seeing and thoughtful sporteuien, sid - to-day they have so far compelled the:|- 7 adherence of the better part of \"public | opinion that comparatively little -dif- culty was anticipated in enforcing the prohibition of partridge-shooting.How: would that .bave been thirty years ago?Illicit stills are running to-day throughout Nova Scotia, and a certain class of public sentiment, that class which would be undoubtedly hostile to prohibition, | Lu was averse to their suppression, and was prepared to oppose that.suppression.by frauds and perjury, resenting the interference with personal liberty! Yet, this law had the better part of public seni | ment behind it.As to frauds and perjury K was.ube: yond question that they mast be faced .in attempting te enfarce a Tibi do on \u2018eur in \u201cthe carrying out of license Tots | 6 to an almost equal degree, and, indeed; in the enforcement of various branches of the criminal law.But grant that the public conscience of Canada is aroused by the evils of the liquor traffic, that on | Sept.20 it will demand in unmistakable tones the enactment of a prohibitory law; in that case the enforcement of that law is sure to become satisfactory.As in the case of the laws cited, and many others similar, the difficalties with this generation would be great.But there were other and better generations to come, and one generation was but a small part of a nation\u2019s history and, as time passed, the law would more and more tend to be self-acting with the power behind ft of a settled public.spirit and conviction.Englishmen were not deterred by difficulties, when the end to be attained was the public good.The issue of Sept.29, was indeed a most momentous one.The temperance people were on their trial, and it was their duty .to ensure success.With the single exception of the movement against the slave trade, there was no movement in human history more spontaneous in its character and more unselfish in its aim than the temperance movement.The men who for generations had been fighting this battle had no private or personal end to serve; it was a fight for the relief of suffering humanity against a foe entrenched behind the social sanctions and customs -of the country and defended by all the powér and influence of nn- limited capital.That victory was in sight must be a blessed consolation to.the veterans! Lat us set the seal\u2019 of public disapproval on the liquor traffic in all its branches, by obtaining the enactment of a national law prohibiting it throngh- out Canada.If we ar J eh \u2018this campaign accomplish this, Sept.2% be remembered and celebrated by Tatars generations as the greatest day in Canadian history.tpt DIGNITIFKS AND THEIR DESERTS.The present Archbishop of Canterbury wished, some time ago, to make improvements in his palace at Lambeth, including the decoration of his reception: hall.Ile asked an architect to submit to him designs for this work.This artist was one of the most distinguished in London.He presented his plans, which were greatly admired.Some time afterwards the archbishop asked the architect what was due him for his designs.\u2018One hundred and twenty-five pounds, my lord,\u2019 was the answer.\u2018One hundred and twenty-five pounds !\u2019 protested Dr.Temple._ \u2018 You have not considered that many of my clergy do not get as much as that in à year\u2019 \u2018Pay don me; replied the architect, seriously; \u2018all my associates will tell you that in \u2018my profession I count as an arehbishop.\u2019 from fn pa cet .\u201cIndeed,\u201d replied the archbishop, \u2018then \u2018one cannot pay you too much !* à4
