so clearly do they see the advantage of at- \u201c| tracting within their borders the hundreds of families that a factory supports.We in Montreal, having got the factories, and vainly, thinking wa.have.thew.gare, |.now propose to give \u2018thém a\u2019 double nqueeze.tre The redistribution bill which was introduced to parliament by the Premier yesterday simply provides for the restoration of the boundary lines of the counties: in the case of the constituencies dealt with.In view of the general redistribution of seats and the readjustment of proportionate representation of the provinces which will necewsarily také place in 1902,- the year following the taking of the next census, few charges have been made, and some counties will have to wait until that date for restoration.The Premier, in remarking upon this, gid the government would, if the Opposition desired it, restore all the county boundaries of the constituencies.A commission of judges of the Superior Court will be appointed to divide the counties into ridings so as to avoid, as far as possible, complaints of unfair division for party purposes.The redistribution according to eounty boundaries.involves some disproportion in the population of the constituencies, | but this defect has always proved uu- avoidable, and scores of instances of it were noted and discussed when the last general redistribution took plase, and that although the county linés Were hot adhered to.The chief disproportions\u2019 are between the city snd country -constitu- some cases double or treble the number of electors of many rural constituencies.The grounding of the \u2018Gallia\u2019 will form a new resson for increasing the rates of insurance for the St.Lawrence route; and one which much more fairly applies to it than those shipwrecks which have been recently.used as reasons for so doing seeing that it has taken place on that route which they did not.Boards of underwriters acting in London seem arbitrarily to class together all Atlantic linets whose summer route is the St.Lawrence, and order their agents here to fine the St.Lawrence for misadyentures which occur on the high seas or on Nova Scotian or Scottish.coasts.It is just possible that sothething would be gained by doing some utiderwriting ourselves.One result at least would follow.This crade way of lumping things and giving our \u2018routes bad name for loses of which it is not guilty would give way to more inteiligent discrimination.Morenver, Canédian underwriters would probably exercise an effective influence in securing actièn-for the.removal.æ br as me.be, of those de- encies, the city constituencies having in | \u2018fects which ircresse the number of ma-\" rine disasters.Canadian underwriting will, however, be out of the question so.long as our laws prevent home companies from taking\u2019 advantage of investments which are open to British companies doing business among ps.Meantime, we must set, very earnestly about securing effective lighting and trustworthy coast and tidal surveys, and getting and keeping our river channel in order and properly buoyed if we do not want the magnificent harbor and elevator facilities we are contemplating, and the unequalled canal system we are very soon to have, to be rendered largely useless through handicapping burdens on shipping.és CHILDISH INSOLENCE.Some people living in cities on the United States side of the lakes, according to the newspapers of those cities, are anxious to have a visit from ocean-going war- vessels.Since a man-of-war sailed up the Mississippi as far as St Louis this spring, Chicago, Cleveland |, and other places have become jealous and want to enjoy à like honor.In support of this claim the Cleveland \u2018Leader\u2019 says it will not be long before the Canadian canal system will reach a stage of development that will render any such visit of a war vessel to the lake cities easy.This is an admission of: the advantage Canada has secured by her enterprige in canal- building.\u2018Considering the situation, ehe deserved a more courteous allusion, we think, than that contained in the \u2018Lead- ors remarks, that \u2018the \u2018British Govern- \u2018ment.would, it is not to be doubted, \u201cpermit an American fighting ship to \u201c pass, through its canals for a brief visit \u2018to the lakes.England is not in the \u2018mood to be meen about such a matter, \u2018and Canada would not be obstinate in \u2018the face of strong hints from London.\u2019 Thie is a good instance of the rather childish way in which even some of the best of our.contemporaries on the other side of the border refer to this country and its presumed attitude touching relations between the republic and the Dominion.Had the \u2018Leader\u2019 writer re- fleated a moment befor penning the offensive lines we have quoted, he would have changed his tone, He would have remembered, for he could hardly be ig- noränt of the fact, that the canals belong to Canada, not to.the British Government, end that.during the late war wi Spain the Canadian Government promp ly and courteously permitted war vessels to pass through the canals and to be refitted at Montreal.Before the war, too, a United States warship was granted right of way up the canals, and is now at Detroit.Perhaps, now that the ques tion has been raised, it would not be out: of place to remind the \u2018Leader\u2019 that this action by the Dominion Government was in marked contrast to that of the United | Btates Government when it refused to allow vessels carrying Canadian troops to pase through the Sault Ste.Marie canal at the time of the Riel rebellion in 1885.At no timé has Canada shown the petty spirit atfributed to her by the \u2018Leader,\u2019 and, if the people of the lake cities want to enjoy a visit from a fighting ehip, passage through the canals will be freely granted unless the manner of the demand makes it imposible to grant it.In any case, ordinary civility towards this coun-, try would better become those who desire to \u2018take \u2018advantage of the facilities afforded by Canadian enterprise.THE PROBLEMS OF SOCIETY.A sermon by the Rev.Mr, Reid;

Misery! Humiliation ! Degradation ! These are God\u2019s will.Why murmur or struggle ?Set your gaze above this world,\u201d and so forth.It is \u2018Rational\u2019s\u2019 own business whether he goes to church or not, but if he does not choose to inform himself of what the pulpit really daes say, then, according to his own dictum above quoted, he need not parade his ignorance of it.Even without going to church, however, he would need to be very badly blinded by the \u2018dazzling light\u2019 in which he informs us that he abides not to know that he utterly misrepresents the Christianity about him when he says that \u2018It is of world-wide know- \u2018ledge that the operation of what in \u201cknown as a \u201cchanged\u201d or \u201cregenerated\u201d \u2018heart has almost invariably been to lift \u201cits possessor above the

INDULGENCE.The Pope has decreed plenary indulgence to all who shall make pilgrimage to Rome during the last year of the sentury.The word \u2018i indulgence\u2019 hes a queer.sound | to those not familiar with it in this connection.When we apply it to ourselves it means allowing ourselves.in some pleasure concerning which question might be raised.When we talk of indujgence on the part of a superior towards one whose moral welfare he has in charge we think of him as permitting things the other might possibly be better withent.- Plenary indulgenee to such a person would thus mean \u2018freedom- to do, without re- -buke, whatever he-liked.It is obviously impossible to edopt the ordinary use of | the word in explaining this grace of the | Pope towards those who acknowledge his power qwer.their spiritual interests, as such an arbitrary-and nan-moral use of that supposed power would soon make it impossible for morally responsible men and women to believe in: it any more, It is-interesting, \u2018therefore, to inquire what such: 5.promise really.does mean to those to whom -it: is.snpounced 8 an set of grace.This is the more interesting Lo our readers as.many.of them have recently.been debating what may be meant by the power of the remission of sins conferred on his disciples by the Saviour.The euticus applicition of the word \u2018indulgence® to the attitude of the Roman Catholic: Chiurch towards its penitents seèms to bave had an historical development.In-early \u2018dnd earnest days public confessions and public punishments were ofteti prescribed by zealous confessors in drastic doges.Sometimes the penance, \u2018owing to its severity or to its fantastic character, did not commend itself to the bishop: whose \u2018clemency was exercised by wubstitutiag for it some good work.This episcopal \u2018interference was \u2018called indulgence, and it will readily be believed that it had a tendenty.to become such, for it was naturally to the advantage of the diodese that some good work, possibly participated: in by payment, should take the place of unprofitgble - -mortifications.In spite of the protests \u2018of many of the \u2018fathers, the indulgence constantly gained and.against the punitive and mortify- 4 - J is.< A BR 3 [ ] 1 A Oy \u20ac 4 2 1 t t t é 1 + 1 21 FE pa + \u201c 7 fr A.20/10 at oA BE A Ee en _ oi ROSE ER SN CEE - TT \u2014 =F WF NW

eafShly pendnes;, but it became extended to the world to come, and was understood to act also in reduction of the sufferings of purgatory.An indulgence is understood to be.the remission of the penalty which the penitent sinner, after having duly.confessed his sins and received absolution, bas still to underga either in this world or in purgatory.When indulgence becomes plenary, it means the total wiping out of pur- gatery, but this result is understood rarely to supervene on acoount of the lack of wuitable dispositions on the part of the penitent.There are voluminous definitions given of both words in Webster's \u2018dictionary, which have ail \"the appearance of coming 3 from authoritative soûrtes.The Roman _ Catholic meaning there giveri foé indus Rés à of the temporal pun- \u201cdae T8'sftid, after the guilt has | \u201c been \u201cremitted by sincere repentansé.\u2019\u2019 It .would seem to be implied here that the remission of the guilt of sin is not He aet of the priest, but follows necessarily en sincere repentance.the censurés and public penancès of the Church., \u2018rest is more difficult.It goes on to say: \u2018It is a payment of the debt of justice to \u2018 God by the application of the merits of \" ¥Christ and his saints to the contrite \u2018soul through the Church.\u2019 This part of the definition might seem to go deeper than the remission of temporal punishment and to regard the indulgence as a payment for the very guilt of sin itself, against which it is understood that mo | payment can be balanced but the passion of Christ.The Church, however, males & distinction between\u2019 the guilt\u201d of sin, with its eternal consequences, and the debt which, when the guilt is removed, still remains due to divine justice to be wiped out either in this world of » pur gatory.This debt the Church claims the power to remit, always assuming that the penitent\u2019s dispositions are such as to fit him to receive such benefit.The definition concludes : \u2018It is therefore believed to diminish or destroy for sins the punishment of purgatory.\u201d \u2018If, then, we are to regard this definition as authorite- à = UM à fer à classes, we \u201chave no \u2018doubé îté 6 compilers did their best to obtain a phrasing that would not be impugned, we must conclude, open to correction, that all faithful and well disposed Roman Catholics who go to Rome next year will, as a reward, escape any penance that they may have incurred and not fulfilled, and we presume that whatever of the penalties in question are registered in purgatory must be considered as uncancelled, and would come under the benefit promised as a result of this trip.The authorities of the Roman Catholic Church seem to set much store by a visit tb Rome as \u2018a stréngthener of faith, \u2018à tireamstance which seems a little imex- plicable to those who have had any op- + portunity to observe how generally the Romans themselves disbelieve in the pa-] \u201cpacy, or who.have notiosd how even clergymen of thet Churoh have at\u2019 Rome made shipwreck even of fnorais.Indeed.it was a pilgrimage to Rome at, it is true, a very corrupt period.which gave ° the fret strong \u2018impulse, in one soul at least, to the great moral revoit called the Protestant reformation.Martin Luther went there in all earnestness of spirit, hoping to get rid by means of pehances of the burden of comeciénce\u2019 which none of the exercises he had been put through at home bad availed to remove:.His.simple, honest soul was horrified by the low \u2018morula which ke found to Be Fam-) pent: in \u2018convents and in the high Places.of the Church, And sti! more at the mockery with \u2018which his own \u2018scruples wete treated ; and on his knees on a holy staircase he realised, once for all, that in seeking salvation by these outward per formances.he was on the wreng track.Those who go to Rome in 1900 will re- Luther encountered.The character of the court of Leo XI.is, iv that respect, the very antipodes of that of Bor gia.On the other hand, .it is peesible that some of the beneficiaries of these medern indulgences, visiting Rome more in the spirt of Cook\u2019s tourists than with Luther's hunger fer holiness, will bring home thence less blessing than ke.A se ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT.Ottawa, May 20.\u2014 Militia general orders snounce that the Royel Canadian egiment o

ever, seems to be easy, as (def téfweik in ahd'out at their leisure.\u2018Sugar seems to be the most expensive article in Dawson.and sells at 60 cents per pound ; dried fruit, 35 cents for the very best ; rice, 25 cents; oatmeal, 3% cents ; flour, 14 cents, and beans 10 cents ; meat, 40 cents ; caribou and moose, 50 to 60 cents per pound.People who have any money dress the same as in other large cities, with white shirts, collars and cuffs, herd and soft black \u2018bate and tweed suits, so that Dawson looks quite respectable.There js little sickness, and the hospitals are almost empty.\u2019 \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 Flats to Let.FLATS TO LEY.TWO FLATS, #& x 6 each, adjoining Witness\u2019 Office.;

- \u2018Will you get your banjo and tune it up ?\u2019 said Pauline; \u2018we are going to | have company to-night and I know they will enjoy hearing some of your new pieces.\u2019 \u201cWho is coming \u201d eaid Wilford, rather ungraciousiy.\u2018Mary Andrews and her brother Pauline.Now, these were two people whom Wilford liked very much, so his brow cleared as he said.; \u2018Yes, I'll try to play something for yon.\u2019 The young.people came, and a happy evening was spent.Ruth played accompaniments on the piano to \u2018Vilford\u2019s banjo music, and all praised it highly, so that Wilford forgot his offended dig- said ty.\u2018We would play together ever so.much \u2018Better if we had time to practice to- \u2018Wé must take said Willard.Then they had some games, and the time flew around go quickly that every one was surprised when Mary declared it was time to go home.\u2018 Now, you must come to our house some evening,\u201d said Mary, as she stood at the door.\u2018We have such nice times together that we ought to meet real often.- Can you come next Tuesday ?\u2018I can, said Wilford, readily enough.\u201cWe all can,\u2019 eaid Pauline, casting a little trinmphant glance at \\her another, for this disposed of another evening that would keep Wilford away from those boys whose influence they so - ed.The next evening Wilford went away.It was one of the two that his father had allowed him.On Saturday evening, when he entered the family room be did not find each member of the ifamily unsocially reading his own book, as I am sorry to say they often did of an evening, but Ruth held a eapy of \u2018 Alec Forbes\u2019 in her hand, and \u2018said, \u2018 We were just waiting \u2018for you to come before we begin our reading.\u2019 They all soon became interested in the story, and the book was passed around until all were tired of reading.Then Ruth brought out her game of castles and the three young people played at that.\u2018 Why, we forgot about practicing our duets,\u2019 said Wilford, when bedtime came.\u201cNever mind,\u2019 said Ruth, \u2018we can do that on Monday evening, and then we will bave them all ready to Play at Mary's on Tuesday.\u2019 The next week passed rgd, in time for it,\u2019 ticed on Monday evening and bo pe ps day with Mary and her brother.On Wednesday A Wilford: went away, but that was the only evening that week.One day he came to his mother with & request : \u2018Can I have a couple cf the boys come- in and spend the evening with me sometimes ?We bave such jolly times, I believe Bert and Lance would enjoy it.That is, if the girls don\u2019t wind and will treat them well?\u2018Of course you can,\u2019 said his mother, \u2018and I'm sure the girls will be glad to help you entertain youriguests.\u201d \u2018 Yes, think they will.Do you.know, I think my sisters are uncommon.nice \u2018girls.I used to think they didn\u2019t care anything about me, but I guess it was my fault.I didn\u2019t know what a nice time a \u2018fellow could have at home if he tried to.\u2019 \u20181 guess both sides were at fault,\u2019 said his mother, \u2018and now both are trying to correot it.\u201d So Wilford invited two or three of his best friends to his home.Some he did mot invite at all, because he did not wish his sisters to meet thew.And ag Wilford was a good, sensible boy, he made up his mind that they were mot the companions for him, either.But some of the boys who hid come | once formed the habit of dropping in evenings for games, reading and music.he voted Wilford\u2019s sisters the nicest girls they knew.\u2018It im\u2019t so quiet as it used to be, said Mr.Hayes, nodding toward the par lor, where a merry little group sang at the piano, \u2018but I like it better than | vhsn- the girlt-sat reading and the Loy was in the etreet.What do you think about it, wife ¥ \u2018Yes, 1 like it better, too,\u2019 she said with a little smile, \u2018and I'm glad we found \u201cout the danger and thought of a remedy ore it was too late.We bave the girls to thank for a part of it.And I'd stand that noise increased à hundred times rather then see this har, mony between my ¢ broken up.\u2019 \u2014~Chris.Stanard.: rel THE FORGOTTEN WORKERS.They lived, and they were useful ;

Finally the address commenced.Mag.loire, satisfying himself that his grandfather was absent, and the parish clergy likewise, ascended the improvised ro-.trum of a couple of wooden benches, 5 chair, and a ewer of cold water, au, bowing to his assembled fellow-countr:- men, opened fire on his audience: \u2018Fellow- -countrymen,\u201d he said, the Marc-Antonian manner of speaking cou ing naturally to his help, as, indeed, it bas done to many an unfledged orator, \u2018fellow-countrymen, Canadians, vou grand million, I salute you.I am myself one of you.Yes.Here and there I see a face I know; I recognize an old friend.Do not treat me.as a stranger; yourgelves.- It -is true, my comrades.\u2018my good friende\u2014it is true that I am much changed.Scarcely had you known me, eh, had you met me on the road, or seen me here at Delorme\u2019s.Well, that is natural, to be expected, that.And I am glad to see so many of these old friends here to-night.1 speak to all the valley.I speak to the farmer, the cultivator, the laborer, as well as to the lawyer, the merchant, the doctor, the priest.\u2019 A sensation pervaded the assembly, Heads were chucked forward and wagged, shoulders were elevated, pipes lower ed, dull eyes flashed, slouched figures straightened, tongues clattered, hands waved.\u201cAh-ha, the brave one ! He speaks to the priest.What does he may?The cry was caught up \u2018What can he say to Phe priest, this \u2018Magloire?Carson was not slow to hear the question.He ad a step forward, and lifted his right hand.\u2018Yes, I speak to the priest.I begin there, I end there.All I say is not about him.No, but he may hear it all, he may listen.I do not fear him.Friends, I have here some figures, some statistics\u2019 \u2014and he consulted his bundle of papers with a telling air\u2014\u2018which describe you to me, you and your beautiful country.Yes, beautiful, as it might be, not ae it is.See, you million of Frenchmen.But, stay; perhaps you do not know that you are a million, A million?You number over a million.In this province you are 1,082,787 souls; in Ontario, you are Hon; in Manitoba, 10 000; IN \u2018est, 3,000.ba gion, uw à.too; yéu sre all brothers.\u201d ow have one language, one faith.That 15 pleasant, charming, all right.You should be happy, then, fortunate, rich.prosperous.But are you?\u2018What is \u201ccontent\u201d?said Magloire, with a magnificent note of interrogation.\u2018Who in this assembly can tell me what \u201ccontent\u201d is?! Is it.possible that you, farmers, toiling three months of a long end inclement year; you, laborers, burp ing in the torrid sun, and freezing next moment in the Arctic blasts; yon, shan: 1 tey-men, diggers, miners, trappers, living the life.of savages\u2014well, yes, a little better, perhaps, when the \u2018addle i is sera ed end the\u2019viskey blanc goes round, but stil barbarous, more like animals than men, with coarme food and poor lodging and rough clothing; you, gentlemen, the merchants, with little dark windows, ecantily filled with.pipes, tobacco, apples, eight-cent print, straw bats, and spades?Ah-ha! yon laugh.You find that amusing.Oh, I can amuse you; I can speak.You shall see, I am only beginning.Well, gentlemen, the mer \u2018chants, \u2018are you satisfied with this little commerce ?Is this enough for you ?\u2018You, M.le médicin, you, M.le notaire, goes it well also with you?You keep \u2018each a little horse, it is true, and a lit: tle chariot, and you have each a\u2019 littie house with a little garden at the back, and you have à little\u2014a very little this time, mark\u2014money to your credit in the bank.Ah, yes, you are frugal.You do.not spend wuch; you are wise there.But if you had it, would you not-spend it.being Frenchmen?!

Bah! I perceive you do not know your condition! 1 have come here, then, my friends, to enlighten you\u2019 It was marvellous that such a speech kriow as this had been so long heard in silence.Carson had counted on some slight disturbance in the beginning, but as he proceeded without being interrupted, he grew bolder, and spoke his mind even more freely than he he had intended to do.The habitant is patient.His avocstion and his-climate make him se.He is also polite.His descent shows in this.Thé French Catholic can hear his Church abused in silence.His revenge will show later\u2014in deeds, not words.The Irish Catholic lashes himself into a frenzy at once; with him there can be no fieedom of speech.But as Carson now paused for 4 moment to refer to some of his notes, a slight stir was perceptible among the devout who bed graced Delorme\u2019s with their presence.He perceived that he might have gone too far.With a flashing smile he dexterously retrieved his position.\u2018Who talks of bondage,\u201d he cried, \u2018to us Canadiens, owners of our own soil, healthy, hardy, vigorous, a little poor, but contented to be thus devout, virtuous, respectable?That is how your hearts speak.Ah! Yes, I follow well your thought, your reasoning.You do not like that I speak against your Church, your parish priest, the Pope himself, and all the rites so dear to you.You do rot wish your children, Four wives, ehould be told of these things.Ah, yes, I follow you there too.See, the Church is-not everything.There is the govern ment ae well.Both can be reformed, both can be altered to suit you.I, in your place, speaking as your voice, complain of both.Now, tell me, do any of vou know what kind of things taxes are?Of course you do.Your faces fall.I repeat, your faces fall, your eyes lower themselves.How many kinds of texes do you know?More than you can count, for their number is far over ten; and some of you can only count that far by your fingers, Well, ther: ao tex cereal-tax) the land-tax, the fabrique-tax \u2014ah! ha! we bit everybody alike now, there is no one that escapes.Now, some of these are government taxes, some are church taxes.You pay them blindly, just because you are obliged to.Do yon krow that there are countries where such à system would not be allowed for a moment, tolerated for a minute\u2019s space?It is true.Those countries are free.Your country is not free.My arguments are strict, logical, can be proved.Why should one-half your honest wealth, decently acquired, go to the Church?Why should the other half go to the government?Now, there are my two points.I leave those with you.I ask, Is not tho Church already rich enough, the govern« ment rich enough, without robbing the habitant and plundering the farmer?\u201d A dramatic pause here followed, the audience being still quiet.\u2018Now, you think I am here as the eremy of the Roman Catholic Church.1 am not.That is, I do not oppose it n-ore than amy other church in other countries, only here, among you, where ite power is so omnipotent, I æpeak out perhape a little louder, that is all.No.1 divide the world into two great sec tions.One section includes all the cour tries ruined by the Church, mostly Roman Catholic countries; the other includes all those ruined by government, mostly Protestant countries.Under these heads one groups all lands.Is it Spain?The Church, the Jesuit, the wonk, the Inquisition, the cell, the nun, the convent, have ruined her.Init Russia?Frederick the Great instituted an infamous system of serfdom and feudal isni from which she his never recovered, But his descendants shall yet suffer on their throne\u2014thie Czar of all the Russias, and his wife, Princess of Englana.{Magloire\u2019s historical information is Lim- ited.] Is it England?Look at the mon-|.tpoly of wealth, the vicious aristocracy, the bloated merchant, the languishing rustic population \u2014 ignorant, debased, half-starved! Her day of reckoning is not far off.Already plans have been matured to carry off that surplus wealth, to exile that merchant, to elevate that languishing population.In America alone, at the present time, is there any hope for us.proud leaders of our land to \u201ctory.To crush all churches, and to subvert all governments, in the interests ci the common good\u2014is not that a glon- os purpose?My brothers, I invite you all to question these things, to aid im overthrowing all systems of tyranny, to establish, each man for himself, his own he his own morals, his own rule of conduct\u201d The sensation had subsided.- Carson om certainly a fluent speaker, though \u201c\"< French accent had suffered from long \u2018disuse, und he held his ignorant audi- (re spellbound.His pauses were made Firrasely, that he might\u2019 learn by the Parks and gestures of those before fini what result had followed these start- \u2018and\u2019 is able to, and will, meet our every Lof, such as exists between relatives and 4 es, tboesŸ Thel-sxvi, ling opinions.Bonhomme Prévost was cautious in his admiration, and looked warily at the patrome of the entertainment, Docteur Pligny, Palissier, the notary, and the family of Lagardère-Le- maitre, who all sat near one another} about five rows from the front.TheS doctor thought Carson's utterances highe] >.ly treasonable, and yet some of them] teuched him on his frugal side keenly.* (To be Continued.)

Canadian side of the Yukon, within\u2019 some seven hundred miles of territory, three-fifths of the population has concentrated, mainly about Dawson, and the police patrol is far more taxed than on the American side.The North-West Mcunted Police is an organized body that any eountry could point to and well say: *\u2018There is a perfectly organized force of men who will maintain the strict let ter of the law at all hazards.\u201d \u201cColonel S.B.Steele, who is in charge of the North-West Mounted Police, is another Richardson\u2014a whole army in himself.He was born to rule in a country where he must become dictator, for he, like Richardson, is far away from assistance, from advice and from supplies.\u201cThe dignity with which Col.Steele | conducts his office, his fairness, the per fect dicipline of his force and his efficient manner of taking full charge of so vast a territory, shows the man to be a diplomat and a general.Between Dawson and Skaguay Colonel Steele has had conetructed a system of police stations, which solve the problem of safe travelling by the people along the mining country during the eight long inter months.At points thirty miles apart Colonel Steele At these stations a sergeant is in charge \u2018 with two constables and a \u2018special.\u2019 The \u2018special\u2019 is a North-West Indian, who drives the dogs.Every station, of which there are twenty-two, has had two or more dog teams of six dogs each.Thus en officer can leave Dawson, giving you ten days start, and catch you before you reach Skaguay by sending along the \u2018papers\u2019 by fresh teams from station to sta tion.\u2018The stations are turned into hospitals in case of emergency and those who become exhaueted or ill are sent along by the police to a place where medieal aid can be had.The police feed Éhosg:im actual want and assist them along.The stations are used for the t protection and proper conduct of the reople -and furnieh the means of rapid winter travelling.\u2018The writer recently made the trip from Dawson to Skaguay in nineteen days by tising the greatest exertion and having a first-class dog team, but a police mail team followed him out of Dawson and ay in nine days, with five hundred pounds of mail, averaging sixty wiles.a day.Of the many thousand Americans living along the Yukon west of Dawson, on the Alaskan side, not one hus received his mail since last summer, and except from persons coming in, no one has heard that the war is over.Until last month and since last September the American mail has been hung up: at Lake Bennett.The United States Government contracts with men who have not the means to forward it, and her citizens suffer accordingly.Eight \u2018tons of letters are somewhere between Lake Bennett and Dawson for the: people on the American side.People who have heard nothing from their fam: ilies and friends are anxious.Eight tons of letters would ease their minds and Colongt Steele has undertaken to please these Americans.He has, with the approval of the: Governor-General, and the American consul at Pawson, ordered his wonderful police force to pick this mail up and take it to the American [ine ut Eagle City, and to handle all the \u2018American mail from now on the same \u201cas they do their own Canadian mail.The police are handling this bulky Amerisan mail over-the rough.ice \u2018and-snow in weather \u2018whith New Yorkera would cell a continu: ed blizzard.\u201d ' A PRESENTATION, INSURANCE COMPANY EMPLOYEES HONORED.- A- pleasant little function took place in the head

the measure will, in its passage through the House, meet with the strenuous opposition of the Conservative party.So .BASIS OF KEPRESENTATION.In tising to propose thé first reading of the bill the Prime Minister announced that he did so through the absence -of the Postmaster-Génersl, Mr.Muléck, with the object, of {xpeditiog.the public de .public with régird to the measure.He would say at once that the object in view.was nt.to make a.total redistribution of the electoral districts.The government had deemed that it would not be expedient at this time to.do more than to undd'às far \u2018as\u2019 possible some of the most glaring violations of a principle which was universally held to be a tal principle\u2019 of.representation réseniition\u2019 où the \u201cbeiis \u2018of.ménicipal cdantÿ otgaubation.ithin the mimorÿ of all that \u2018this sr was fitst interfered with to a large extent in the redistrfbution of 1882.The action of that day constituted a violation of the principle which had prevailed up to that time, maintained by Conservatives and Liberals alike.; SIR JOHN MACDONALD'S WORDS.There were many reasons why the be preserved as the basis of representation and on this point he could not do betier than quote .the opinion expressed by Sir John A.Macdonald in the first \u2018redistribution of 1872, when: he said that lit was desired as much gs poséible \u2018to keep \u2018the representation = within the municipality of Ontario should be repre.pented, and when it became large enough it might be divided into ridings.That rule was followed at Confederation, and in the case of ita infraction, in 1882, in the three constituencies of Bothwell, Cardwell and Morck, the '& ie t proven a success.\u201d John hat Th Resta UE TE wis advimble that counties should \u2018be kept intact as a means of guarding against the introduction of the American plan of caucusés and wire-pulling with the end that counties should refuse men whom .they did not know.From, the wisdom of 8ir John Macdonald's remarks of that day nobody would be thought dissantient.Though in 1882 this REDISTRIBUTION Measure Brought Down by\u2019 the Premier Yesterday.CHANGES ARE CHIEFLY IN ONTARIO AND ARE LOUDLY DE- | least three judges: of the Supreme Court of judicatune of Ontarie, who will beiapet à r well, Monck aod Bothwell.One of \u2018ttese (Monck) has already beene redistributed and it is now proposed that Cardwell and Bothwell shall disappear, and with these West Ontario.It is also proposed that Middlesex, which now re turns four members, shall only have three, which at the time shall be re placed - by giving representation -to.the County of Dufferin and to the electoral, district of Perry Sound and two addi el members to Kent, : Père for Kent.: \u201cBir Wilfrid Leurier\u2014Yes, that takes out part of Bothwell.The bill proposes 49 restore county lines to \u2018the following counties: Braut, Bruce, Elgin, Gray, Hal- Lätmand, Huron, Kent, Lambton, Lanazk, t MiddJesex,- Norfolk, Ontario, Oxford, Peel, Simcoe, .Welland, Wellington, Wentworth and York.: : .CHANGES IN ONTARIO.To give these representation the details would have to be as foHows\u2014taking the changes just indicated : The electoral district of the city.of London will consiet entirely of London and return one ms 3 *.The electoral district of the City of Hemilton will consist of the city of Ham- ion, and return two.members.The electoral district of the city of Toronto will consiet- of the city of Toronto and will be divided into four electoral distriets, each to return one mem- er.\u2018The counties of Dufferin, Haldimand, Lincoln, Peel, Welland and Wentworth and the territorial district of Parry Sound will each be an electoral district and return each one member.: - The counties of Brant, Elgin, Lamb- ten, Norfolk, Ontario, Oxford, Perth will each be divided into two electoral dis- tricte, which districts will return each one member, .- The counties of Kent, Huren, Bruce, Grey, Middlesex, Simcoe, Wellington and York will each be divided into three elec: toral districts, each of which districts will return one member, : .DIVISION.OF COUNTIES.The provisions of the bill in regard to] the judicial division of thé counties into ridings provides for the appointment of a board.of conmnissioners to consist of at) \u2018pointibd by letters petent and divide Tet rcnto! and each of the counties affected into the ridings.The commissioners in\" méking the divisions will consider the] distribution of population according tothe leet Dominion census, the public convenience and such divisions #8 may ap pear to them the best calculated to do substantial justice, : : In the case of the death or resigna- principle had been departed from it did net appear .that Sir John had himself gone back on his views, and Sir Wilfrid felt that to-day the country would be prepared to come back to the adoption of those.views.THE GUARDIEN PRINCIPLE.Another principle, Sir Wilfrid thought, should prevail whenever a redistribution \u2018of constituencies was to be made.According to the constitution it becomes an obligatory duty of Parliament after a new census to make a redistribution.This duty being imperative, it becomes most important Parliament should ad) here to the well-known principles hither: to laid down \u2018and accepted when it'becomes the duty of Parliament to intér- fere in any way with the representation.The just prideiple which the government would lay down was that munich quently county.boundary lifes should not be interfered with, If the population of a eounty should become so small ae- cording to\u2019 the develpmeéyt of population in other counties as to no longer \u2018justify its representation by one member, then (tbe government held that that county should not be \u201c Fiecémeal, but county, as was done fa ttie \u2018vases of Cornwall and -Stô&rmont,.Lincoln apd Niagars, Chambly afd others.In all of these cases connty litfes Were not in ment considered, were precedents which.could with advantage \u201cbe adhered to.This wis a case, however, which he ree The principle which Sir Wilfrid lid.down was that whenever = a - eoifnty which up to that time had beef entitled to one member became entitled fo twe of three members the division should take place by judicial decision and authority.EXCEPTIONS IN ONTARIO.After these preliminary observations as the guiding principle upon which the government acted, the Prime Minister gave the following list of constitäencies which it was not proposed to disturb at present:

gating Committee was the unearthing of an alleged system of corruption in the disposition of dead bodies from the c:y hospital, a somewhat ghoulish tale, bu: one that was well corroborated.and re plete with detail.By several witnesses it was stated that an undertaker nam.d Warren illegally secured the funerals of al lbodies taken to the Harlem Hospita), and that he was enabled to do this by bribing clerks in the employ of the cit;

About a year ago\u2014in your issue of April, 27 1898\u20141 mentioned the fact that several Romanist priests of France had been truly converted to Christ, and had left the Church of Rome.I am delighted to say that the good work continues.A large number of ex-priests are not omly opposing popery, they are preaching the pure faith of Jesus wita much success.The leader of the movement, the Abbé Bourrier, spent last week in London.He was the invited guest of a Methodist, Mr.Percy Bunting.In the house of Mr.Bunting he was met by the president of the Wesleyan Conference.Mr.Hugh Price Hughes invited him to return to England in July, when the conference will be in session in London, and when there will be a thousand of our ministers present from ail parts of the country.A special demonstration will be arranged for the first Conference Sunday \u2014July 23.The abbé gladly consented to come to London again on that occasion, and bring with him ten or twenty ex-priests of the French Roman Catholic Church, who, like himself, have been brought into the light.So our next Conference is likely to have more than one new and aperially interesting ure, The &bbé is in correspondence with hundreds of priests.And there is ground to believe that when his movement is properly organized, as will soon be the case, between four and five thousand priests will withdraw themselves from the Ko- man Church.The abbé has started u small religious newspaper, the \u2018Chretien Francais\u2019 The entire staff of the paper are ex-priests.Among the regular sub scribers are fifteen hundred priests.The abbé has also established a house, in which all priests whe leave the Romish Church, on conscientious grounds, may find a temporary shelter until their future sphere is determined.The abbé and this friends avoid the use of the word Protestant, which is said to have foreign and painful associations in France.They are satisfied to call themselves Christians.The abbé himself has become a recognized pastor of a Protestant church in Paris; but he does not urge other priests to identify themselves, at once, with any Protestant church, but to await the course of events, and in the meanwhile to preach Jesus.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 THE SCHOOLBOYS FOR CHRIST.SEMI-JUBILEE IN GLASGOW.The story at the semi-jubilee gathering, held on the evening of Friday, April 20, of * The Schoolboys\u2019 Meeting\u2019 in Glasgow is one which may well be laid to heart by those interested in Christian work among the children of the weil-w- do classes in other towns and cities.In Arril, 1874\u2014when the spiritual life of the city was being: stirred\u2014a special meeting was arranged for school-boys, with the intention of, perhaps, repeating it for two or three weeks.jut no fitting time to stop -has ever presented itself, and the weekly gathering is still an active foree for good in the west-end of \u2018the city, gitls having been admitted -also in later years.From the commencement it has been the spiritëal birthplace and training ground of a continuous stream of minis ters, missionaries, and helpers in every branch of Christian effort\u2014a fact abun- dently proved by:the names of those who apologized for absence, and at the same time testified to blessing and impulse received.The attendance was reported by the present chairman (Mr.John W.Arthur) to average about 250.So carefully has the missionary spirit been fostered that the.contributions to the Fresh Air Fortnight Fund alone have amounted to fully £600.Over 220 boys and girls arc members of scripture-reading unions, and the work seems to find its deepest roots in two prayer-meetings (boys and girls separately), which have gone on for a number of years, and which are at pre sent full of vigor and power.In the course of a vivid and interestin: sketch of early days and doings, Mr.A thur A: Govan (chairman for he te ten years), paid an affectionate tri to the memory of Dr.Donald Morrison, \u2019 1899, me er its con- ether.The Yokoi, for- @ students e new Ja- hich seeks hristianity nt to de- moet vital 0 a mere e help of abrogating he college bat Chris- ork of its e articles nder to be proceeding eal of ad- uarters in to Chris- apparently »f his own s to the into rela- overtures, ith condi.imsionaries ressure of t of legal an Board, ount Oku- i and the with him new osen, and Christian main- zeitchrift.\u2019 PRIESTS an.\u2019) issue of > fact that rance had , and had I am de work con- ex-priests they are eus wita the move- last week d guest of ng.In the net by the onference.ed him to when the 13 London, and of our rts of the ion will be ce Sunday \u20ac ted that occa- or twenty an Catho- have been our next nore than ne feature.with hun- ground to nt is prop- > the case, nd priests n the Ko- 8 \u2018Chretien the paper gular sub- iests.The house, in he Romish inds, may | their fu- id the use is said to gations In call them- imself has a Protes- does not hemselves, hurch, but and in the \"HRIST.GOW.ee gather- iday, April eting?in ell be laid n Christian he well-to- cities.In nal life of -& special chool-boys, ps, repeut- But no presented ing is still e west-end 1 admitted ;

Mr.George F.Newlands recalled the timidity with which he remained to after mwreetings about the time of his conver glon; and Dr.Alexander Mowat (Jalna, India), told how one piece of advice\u2014 when temptation presented itself, even in the playground, to go aside and ask for help\u2014led on the following morning to his first experience of a personal relation with the Saviour, In an address dealing with the spread of the gospel in other 1ands, through (he influence of the meeting, Mr.W.A.Camptell told of what he had seen of the murh-blessed labors of one former member in Durban; and was immediate- la followed by Mr.Thomas A.Boyd, who showed, from an old note-book in his bard, that he had himself dealt with that worker oa spiritual matters, on April 19, 1874.In the same book Mr.I2oyd had the names of forty-three boys whom he had had the privilege of point- ire to the Saviour, within three weeks, and expressed the hope that in the daming evangelistic campaign, in the city, special steps will be taken to reach the sehoolhays of the new generation.\u2014 \u2018The Cliristian.\u2014\u2014\u2014 DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL TNION TO BE HELD IN PHILADELPHIA IN MAY.Much interest is being developed in this great National Society as the occasion of its seventy-fifth anniversary ap- prosches.Meetings will be held in the Academy of Music on May 24 and 25, at which addresses will be made by the following eminent speakers: 1D.L, Moody, the well- known evangelist, the Rev.Dr.A.F.Kchauffler, où New York, the Rev.J.M.Crowell, D.D.of Philadelphia;

but, as they were unwilling to bring the law to bear upon him without warning, they would overlook the offence for this once, but if it were repeated he would have to take the consequences.Next Sunday the priest again used the same language, when he was instantly apprehended, tried by jury, and sentenced to pay a fine of 500 francs (£20), to suffer two months\u2019 imprisonment, and to be debarred for five years from exercising the office of priesthood.Again, Catholic parents frequently send their children to Protestant schools, in which case a priest sometimes calls upon them and threatens to refuse them absolution till the children are removed.The father, as a rule, tells him to keep his absolution, for he has no need of it, but sometimes the mother is made anxious and the family peace is disturbed.The father then calls in the police, when the priest is told that he cannot be allowed to annoy an Italian subject for doing what the law permits.The law permits parents to send their children to Protestant schools, and, unless he gives these parents all the privileges of the Church as they desire them, the new Penal Code will be brought to bear upon him.\u201d \u2014 \u2018Faithful Witness.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 EVANGELICAL CHURCHMEN.At the annual meeting of Wycliffe College, one of the speakers referred to the good work which has been done during the last twenty-five years by Evangelicals.It involved an expenditure by them of 2 sum exceeding $400,000.This is a splendid record indeed.It began with the starting of a Church paper, which is now in its twenty-fifth year\u2014 \u2018The Evangelical Churchman.\u2019 There was an absolute need for some such medium of communication between the Protestant members of our Church, a raper that would stand as an exponent of the evangelical school.The paper was therefore started, and it is again commended to the hearty support of every member of our Church.Then there came into existence Wycliffe College, well worthy of al! the support that could be given to it because of the splendid work it has accomplished.The rumber of men that have been sent out from its halls are now virtually working lit has already done in moulding the Nearly four schools a|D qe \u201cIt has formed a new centre of all kinds of evangelical work, and has been the place of beginning much of the good work that has Deen done all over Canada.Then comes Pishop Ridley College, of St.Catharines, | our boys\u2019 school.How many have passed through it and how much good work lives of our coming men! There is now being added a junior boys\u2019 department.The school is now large enough to give needed accommodation, but not so large but that the individuality of each boy is known and studied.Then that splendid child of the Church \u2014 Havergal Ladies\u2019 College.What a pleasure it is to go through these splendid buildings, 20 well equipped, and filled to overflowing.God seems especially to have blessed this portion of the work.Then our Deaconess Home and Missionary Training School, with its loving band of helpful workers.And last, but not least, cur Canadian Church Missionary Society.These six institutions are the result of the last twenty-five years of work.As the speakers rightly pointed out, they all have to do with the best interests of our Church.They are commended to every rcader of the \u2018Evangelical Churchman,\u201d and to every true Churchman \u2014 From Article in \u2018Evangelical Churchman.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 VALUE OF CIVIL DAMAGE LAW.Temperance work that has paid is illustrated in this quotation from a report of the Rev.W.R.Dawson, of Tennessee: » \u2018I have entered every one of the fifty- i nine saloons in company with a lady and her daughter serving a written notice upon the saloon-keepers that they sell no more intoxicating liquors to the lady\u2019s husband.From the decision of the Supreme Court of Tennessee a lady has been entitled to recover $2,500 damages from the saloons which sold her husband drink, thereby occasioning his death.As the result of our serving written notices upon the saloon-keepers not to sell him any more intoxicating drinks, the saloon men have obeyed orders, our man has become a sober man, is clothed and in his right mind.An evidence of the fact is seen in his attendance at church, Sunday-school and Y.P.8.C.E., where he takes a part regularly.He holds family worship at his home, and gives every evidence of being a truly regenerated man.'\u2014\u2018Assembly Herald.\u2019 mp DR.POTTS AT ATLANTA, The correspondent of the \u2018Christian Guardian,\u2019 speaking of the International Sunday-school convention at Atlanta, says: \u2018The speech of the convention was undoubtedly that of Dr.Potts.A great deal of hot-house oratory had preceded: so that were curious to gee what effect \u2018a less ornate and more natural type would produce.Canada had been so overlooked in many little ways that we v.ere proud of her when we saw our representative step forward, and in height, method, argument, logical order, emotional sequence, overtop with ease all who had gune before.From that moment neither Canade nor our mighty Empires were forgotten in the convention.It would be impossible to describe the cumulative effect of that speech.The great audience, at first spellbound, began to express itself wildly.We are told that when great actors achieve a great trimmph they are recalled.We have seen great musical artists so recalled, but never have we seen an audience insist on a speaker coming before them again.Agein, again, and yet again, that great concourse of thousands recalled our representative.This was the only speech received with such a frenzy of enthusiasm.Canada and Great Britain became a part of the convention from that moment.So much so that the committee sent to us to write out the words of \u2018God Save the Queen,\u201d which was sung.\u2014_\u2014 GENERAL GALLIENI AND THE MISSIONARIES.The last number of the \u2018London Missionary Society Chronicle\u2019 gives the following interesting news from Madagascar :\u2014As General Gallieni visits Ambo- himanga nearly every week, Mr.and Mrs.Peill see a good deal of him, and have long talks.On a recent visit to the Miesion Schools he expressed himself as much pleased with the progress that has been made, and asked that the four boys and four girls who held the highest places should follow him to the town.He left thirty-seven lambas for distribution, and gave money presents to the boys and girls referred to above.A week later he put the telephone between Anianana- rivo and Ambohimango at the disposal of Mr.and Mrs.Peill for more than an hour.Mr.Sibree and his students at the General\u2019s house in the capital, and Mr.and Mrs.Peill with their scholars at the other end, talked to each other, much to the astonishment and instruction of scholars and native teachers\u2014A service in memory of the late president of the French republic was held in the Anka- dibevava Church.The missionaries of the Paris Missionary Society made the arrangements, and invited the members of the Protestant missions to assist.General Gallieni, with his aides-de-camp and a large number of high functionaries, civil and military, were also present.After the devotional part of the service, M.Vernier delivered an allocution ; the Rev.W.E.Cousins, M.A, spoke in Malagasy on behalf of the London Missionary Society and Friends\u2019 Mission, and Mr.Jakobsen represented the Norwegian Missionary Society.The presence of the General and so many officials at a Protestant service in a Protestant place of worship will no doubt have a good effect on it, and seemed to be the thing, so much \u201cANG The regular monthly meeting of the Bible Society was held in the Bible House, St.Catherine street, on May 4.There were present the Rev.Dr, Shaw, vice- president, in the ghair; Mr.Samuel Finley, treasurer; Rev.H.M.Tory, corre sponding secretary; Dr.Alexander Johnson, recording secretary ; the Rev.Mesers.J.Pinel, T.J.Maneell, J.W.Clipgsham, James Green, J.Patterson, Dr.Antiff, T.Harris, Messrs.J.A.Mathewson, James Ross, W.T.Light hall, J.Burt.Sutherland, D.Torrance Fraser, T.Moodie.The meeting opened with prayer by the Rev.Mr.Mansell, after which the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.A letter was read from His Lordship Bishop Bond regretting his inability to be present.On matters arising out of the minutes it was resolved that the number of \u2018Reporters\u2019 to be taken should not exceed the amount of ten dollars, and the number of \u2018Gleaners\u2019 should be limited to subscribers.REPORTS.The general agent reported 430 bibles, 634 testaments and 245 portions issued from the Bible House during the month.Tctal copies issued, 1,309, of the value of $293.93, an increase of 205 copies and $7.14 in value.The cash sales at the Bible House increased $141.36.Four colporteurs are at work.Mr.Daigneau, in District No.29, County of St.Johns, and Mr.Leclerc, in District No.2, County of Bagot, and two new ones recently engaged, one in the eastern part, and the other in thé western part of the county of Hochelagsa, who have not yet reported.Messrs.Daigneau and Leclerc jointly report visits to 741 families, and they have disposed of sixty-five copies of the scriptures or portions thereof in French.It is expected that the health of Mr.JE McCullgngh wil be sufficiently restored for him to begin work next month\u2014 A letter was received from the president, Sir William Dawson, in reference to the distribution of scriptures now in progress to Russian immigrants, and much time ahd attention of the committee was given to reports from the Rev.J.Patterson in reference thereto, and alsg a report from the Rev.Mr.Therrien concerning distribution at Grande Ligne, Mr, Taylor, of the Presbyterian Board, and others, regarding distribution.Mr.W.F.Lighthall reported progress in reference to the bequest of the late Horace Hutchins, of Kemptville.The correspending secretary reported in reference to the rule adopted in the case of grants and particularly those to missionary societies, which are here appended and to which the attention of all those concerned is called: \u2018That grants of Scripture shall be mide only in such cases as shall appear to the Committee to be really necessitous ;

And vou, my little girl, do not take it to heart; do mot try to fight my battles; 0 not let bitterness come into your life through me, for that, indeed, would give me pain.\u2019 The Empress stopped her restless pacing up and down.the reom, and; puttigæ her slender hands upon my shoulders, she looked deep into my eyes with those zlori- - ous Sark blue orbs of hers, and added, \u2018You are so young\u2014hardly older than 1 was when I wes married.Do not allow my clouds to obseure your sky; you will bave enough of your own.\u2019 How well sha understood the passionate wrath I felt when witnessing the continual prejudices displayed toward her was shown clearly to me by these very words.I was then very young\u2014-very inexperienced, truly \u2014but she was all in all to me, and the depth of my love and admiration for her pure, noble, peerless.nature bridged over the difference existing in our years, and I was happy in the thought that already at that tizae 1 had become well-nigh her only confidante and truest friend.That very morning Elizabeth had been kiudly informed, by one of the good souls who \u2018formed her entourage, that her refusal to be present at the Corpus Christ?procession.along the magnificently decorated streets of Vienna had given much ot- fence, and had caused a renewal of the rumors long since set aflsat concerailug her sanity.Of course this had only been hinted at fr her presence, but she was far too shrewd and quick-witted not to have gathered instantly the true meaning of these veiled allusions, and she easily foresaw what persecutions would follow.\u2018Carnot they leave me alone?she continued, stamping her little foot impat\u2019antly.\u2018All 1 ask of humanity is that it should not interfere with me; and yet all my actions are the subject of uncharitable com- ,ment and of cruel criticism.Can you teil me why 1 shouid thus be persecuted?The face of the Empress wag flushed with vexatlon, and her straight, exquisitely penciled 8ark brows eontracted ominously.\u2018I am going away,\u2019 she continued.\u2018Let us be off to Godollo, where at least I am not eontinually under a microscope, and where I can fancy that I am a woman like all others, and not some extraordinary insect created for the malicious investigations and bbservations of the public.\u2019 Ambng many other things, as I have just mentioned, she was accused of having an unbalanced mind.This was a cruel mistake, for there was na.more accomplished, level-headed, and sagacious woman in the length and breadth of Europe than she.But her horror of the shams and the narrow conventionalities of modern existencs made her avoid, «s much as she could, the requirements of a bauble-loving, vulgar, social systems-truly an unpardonable crime in the eyey of both classes and mosses, and one which has led society to punish it by screaming over the very housetops that the ¥mpress\u2019s oiild.was \u2018unbalanced.\u2019 Since sn: imeutablé sorraw befell her, ten \u201cyears ago, she Was almost perpetually ox the wing; the iron was in her soul, the knotted cords about her waist, but she always bore a brave countenan:e, for she could not endurg that the world should pity her.She was never heard to unkind thing or kuown to do ona.ons to a fault,she had not a trace fishness in ber grand nature, and Gener- of sel- say an | always \u2018 spared those about ber as much as possible.Bu: she did not understand the art of forgetting, of laughing and dancing when her heart was full of sorrow; she did not take kindly to fools and their follies, and refused to make a perpetual show figure of herself for the benefit of a pageant lov- Ing public.Those were her crimes.How unpardonable they were every sensible worldling will readily understand.Her lovely face and her luminous eyes were accused of being too sad.Alas! it was the sadness of a noble nature that has borne the burden of other people's sips, fauits, and lack of comprehension.Sha expected death at gry moment, and looked upon it more in the light of a deliverance than in that of a dreaded foe.This, and this alone, brings a shade of comfort to tha hearts of those who loved Ler, Poasenhoffen wae a truly befitting place for the imperial 1dyl, which preceded the merriage of Franz-Josef and Elizabeth.Every one knows how the Emperor, soon after his arrival at his future father-in- law's castle, to celebrate his betrothal with Duke Maximilian's eldast daughter, met under the demse shadows of the parklike woods 4 child, clothed in a short, white frock, with a wonderful mass of wavy,silken, chestnut hair falling about her slim girlish figure, down to her tiny feet, and with a brace of large white tlcerhounds leaping about her.With a child's tm- pulsiveness she threw her arms about the neck,of this imperial cousin, of whom she had heard so often, as of \u2018a new brother that was te be, but whom she had never met, and merely recognized from the portraits she had seen of him.The sorcery of her luminous sapphire-hued eyes, the wilichery of a smile, which later on became celebrated throughcut Europe for its radiant charm, combined te rob the young mcrarch of his heart.He linked her arm within his, and trie?to draw her toward the castle, but the young Princess would not allow this.\u2018They.would be awfully angry with me, if 1 mixed with the grown up ones,\u2019 she sald, laughing.\u2018They have all to be married away before I am allowed to appear.\u2019 \u2018That's what we are gcing to see,\u2019 replied the deeply smitten Emperor.\u2018Go and dress for dinner and meet me in the hall befcre I go down, my sweet! I'l manage the rest.\u2019 Completely subjugated, the young girl flew toward the great old building, while the Emperor marched off to hls rooms, vowing to himself that he would win that little fairy Princess ip spite of all Jbjec- tions that might be put forward.Just as, after terminating hie elaborate toilet, he was about to step into the hall, he heara two voices proceeding from behind a door, which was not quite closed.The louder and angrier of the two was saying: \u2018Please don\u2019t, Princess; you know that you have been forbidden to lct yourself be seen.\u2019 \u201cI shall do so, just the same, Countess,\u2019 murmured the other voice, which Franzs- sesef recognized as belonging to Elizabeth.The door opened wide, and the charming girl, followed by a lady in waiting, whose flashing eyes and ruffled grey locks denoted the greatest agitation, appeared in the ball.\u2018Let us go down together, my cousth, said the Emperor, offering Elizabeth his arm; and in spite of the frowns and entreaties of the old Countess, he drow the radiant creature,who had grown as white es a moonbeam, toward the broad flight ot steps leading down in the terrace, where Duke Maximilian and Duchess Ludovica ot Bavaria, were waiting, surround:d by all their other children, the appearance ol their august guest.At the sight of the handsome young couple a look of surprise, chagrin, and thorough disapproval startcl from the eyes of all present; but it was too Jale to interfere, for the mischief was dnne.and that same\" evening, closated with the Duke, the Emperor declared to him that his plans Lad altered, and formally asked from the infuriated old gentleman the favor ot his youngest daughter's hand.A scene of much violence took place.Both men were overbearing and quick temperc], and the affront put upon his eldest daughter could not but seem difficult of acceptance to tbe old Duke.The Emperor, at last, losing ail patience, sprang from his chair and declared in his most flery manner that, should his request be rejested, he would start iggtantly for his own dominions, and marry neither one nor the other of his host's fair daughters; nor, for the matter of that, would he marry at all, iit- tle heeding the future of his empire, since the wourd at his heart would not heal suf- ficlently to permit if his ever thinking ot any woman but that one girl whom he had met for the first time a few hours pravious- ly! Thus forced from his last entrenchments, the Duke reluctantly yielded, much to the astonishment of his family and entourage, for he was an extraordinarily obh- stinate old gentleman in general.This new betrothal of the Emperor was ot short duration, and within a few weeks, from the fateful day on which he had met me ee mt ane tt tr tn 7 HAGE +.: all its dulness into fields of light nnd joy; his \u2018little Elsa,\u2019 thelr nutials were celebrated with afl the pomp and splendor that the most mignificent anl ceremonial loving court of Europe could lead to such espous- als.The marriage ceremony was celebrated on April 24, 1954, by Prince Archbishop Rauscher, and during a whole week Vienna was given over to the most magnificent series of feasts which its ancient walls had ever witnessed.Soon afterward the imperial couple undertook a round of visits throughout their dcminious, extends ing thelr voyage to Hungary, Lombar1y, and Venice, where the beauty of the Empress, created the greatest possible impression.How happy these two young, handsome, and kind hearted p2ople could have Leen, bad not the Archduchess Sophia interfered! It ever there was an indisputable example of the harm which can be worked by a ino- ther-in-law's jealous influence upon the ju- ture existence of a loving couple, it is to be found in the relations which almost at once established themselves between the imperial pair and the grim Archduchess, who was known at court under the title of \u2018Mme.Mere.\" Clever as few women are, the Archduchess possessed a real genius for management.A remarkable tactician, she had over her son a sway which she never drearred of surrendering into other hands, and little did she care whether her interference was likely to imperil the happiness of her child so long as sbe herself, In a pelitical, #nd in a private capacity, reigned supreme.She hated her davghter-in- law, whom she alluded tov as \u2018that pretty Xk ELIZABETH OF AUSTRI wax doll,\" and, heedless of the girl's feel-\\ ings, she deliberately set her aside, mak-' ing it impossible for her to assume her natural place toward court and country.Indeed, she went so far,at last, as to insinuate herself absolutely between those two idyllic lovers, who would but for her over-' bearing selfishness have, perchance, enjoyed the perfect bliss of a well assorted un-:, ion.Infinitely cold, very cruel and tenacious, and an intrigante in the full sense of the word, the Archduchess showed plainly the immense scorn she fejt at seeing her sôn, one of the mightiest rplers of this world, fall more and more under the sway of a mere child of sixteen.Her only comfort lay in a the one belief that he would soon tire of his new plaything, become satiated with the peach when once the bloom had been rubbed from it.She knew well that ber boy had inherited the flightiness and inconstancy of his race, and upon this knowledge did she, build her plan of battle.i As soon as the young couple were definitely established at Vienna, le parti de Madame Mere\u2019 grew every day stronger, covert taunts were not spared to the young\u2019 Empress, who with smiling lips and an aching heart, was made to understand that the portionless daughter of a mere non- royal Duke was not worthy of the honor that had been done her.She was treated by all with a coldness calculated to break the spirit of a less courageous woman, but as she always hated to be an object of pity, she never complained to the Emperor, who, save in her gradual If very marked recoil from all those appearances in publjc which she could possibly avoid, and in her increasing sadness, noticed no change in her.He himself treated her with the inost constant courtesy and solicitous care, but a misunderstanding arose between them, tomented by wounded pride and feellng on her side, and on his by the continual intriguing which was brought to bear upon him.Elizabeth still dearly loved the man who had come into her life to change, at first, the distant sound of his step still thrilled her with delight, the very sound of Re his | voice made her pulses beat quicker, but the DAILY WITNESS.spiritual and enthusiastic love which she bore him \u2018was little by little forced back into the innermost recesses of her heart; and the very excess of it held her pale and silent when she should have confided her sufferings to him, for fear of appearing in his eyes the troublesome child her mota- er-in-law told her so frequently that she was.It was a pity indeed that the Emperor had no leisure, or no desire, to study his wife's character with more care then, for he would easily bave discerned those gifts, mental and intellectual, which made up the noblest of temperaments.He was as yet violently, passionately in love with her matchless beauty, but affairs of state,social successes, outdoor sports, to which be gave almost every free moment.and the beginning of a vague return to his former less commendable pleasures, widened daily the gulf which was to force them apart more and more as time went on.Nor can Franz- Josef be blamed very seriously either,at that time, for this state of affairs.His wife was to bim a thing apart, so lovely and pure and innocent that she fulfilled his ideal of absolute perfection ; but unfortunately, he fell into the unpardonable error of believing her too young, too inexperienced, and too indifferent to become his real companion and comrade.There was at that time at court a lady who for convenience sake I shall call the Countess von L\u2014\u2014.8he was a very handsome woman in a pink and white blonde way, a la Rubens.Shes was not extracr- dinarily refined or talented, and certainly not at all ethereal, but she was very chic and very amusing; she dressed admirably, and was quite the rage, especlally since she was known to be \u2018Madame Mere's\u2019 especial protege.At a great ball given in honor of some foreign royalties the Emperor seemed much struck by this type of sensuous beauty, and devoted more of his time to her than strict etiquette allowed.Many an unkind, if unjust, comment was made about this incident,and the good souls who formed the Empress's entourage took good care _ A AT TWENTY-EIGHT.that it should assume in her eyes the maximum of the meaning it could be made to bear.She made ho outward sign of having understood these.gllustons, but her grave colarless face, that had already become so cold in its innocence, now assumed an entirely novel expression, so melancholy, so thoughtful, that she was immediately taxed with moodiness and sulkiness.She now s:l- dom smiled, and when she dtd so it was in æ chilly, half-hearted way which was painful to behold.All fhe horrors ot doubt and of sin fell suddenly and without warning upon her ignorance of social wickedness, and \u2018a great disgust overcame her.- \u2018Far this bitter \u2018awakening from her love- dream she was also indebted to her mother- in-law.The old lady\u2014who then, by the by, considered herself only in the very prime of lite, and who had by no\u2019 \u2018means abdicated her rights to universal admiration \u2014seeing that her son was more enamored with his lovely wife than she thought it | safe or desirable for him to be, managed to surround him with those temptations to which a man of the world yields so easily.The Archduchess was by no means an, immoral woman; she even posed as an infin- ttely religious ome; but to her the raison d'etat was more important than all else, and she was absolutely convinced that the fnfluence possessed by Elizabeth over the Emperor would work to no good end.That she should bear him healthy children was all that she asked of her son's young wife; the rest had no Interest for her, (To be continued.) ~ A PRAYER BY WHITTIER.It there be some weaker ome, Give me strength to help him on; It à bitdéer soul there be, Let -nie guide him nearer Thee.Make my mortal dreams come true With the work I fain would do; Clothe \u2018with life the weak intent; Let me be the thing I meant; Let me find in Thy employ Peace that dearer is than joy; Out of seif to love be led, And to heaven acclimated, Until all things sweet and good Seem my naturel babitude.DISTRICT VISITING.Visitation work is not easy ; many prefer direct mission work.It is pot showy, ex- | bilarating or inspiring, and when done thoroughly it is exhausting.Nothing takes so much out of us as the constant effort to adapt our minds to a number of different persons and to try and view things with their eyes.At the outset the visitor must xeep clearly before her one main object, viz., to bring souls to the feet of Christ.This presupposes that she herself knowe in her life the joy of Christ.But something mcre than being a Christian is needed if the visits are to bave much result.We have all known the most earnest, well-meaning persons, who yet do much harm by want of wisdom, and forgetfulness of those small courtesies of life which in themselves are an influence.DO NOT ATTEMPT TOO MUCH.Personality is a large factor in all work.Your face, manner, tone, dress aud bearing will go far to commend your message, or the reverse.If you visit for the whole of a hot July afternoon in a dirty, foul- smelling court, and are tired out after the first four or flve houses, the rest of your visits will be of little use.The same applies if you go to people when you are depressed or out of sorts, for you cannot then give your best, and thus you dishonor your Master and your message.1 knew an earnest mission-worker who toiled all day among the sinful and sorrowful, and then at night went to her home so tired and overwrought that, to use her words, she \u2018snapped everyone up.\u201d The angel vf the slum was, to her own people, sadly human! PRAY SILENTLY AT EACH DOOR.All sorts of unexpected calls on our wisdom and judgment may be made by those we visit.How shall we gain power to direct rightly a life unless we first claim that wisdom which He has promised to supply?It may not be best to pray always with those visited.To pray with someone without permission may not be only unwise, but impertinent.On the other hand, the wise | visitor will be ready to do so, and will try (for it, for nothing draws two souls to- Sher like united prayer.I The same applies to talk on religious subjects.To forcs the conversation to a reli- | gious turn regularly at every visit gives the idea of professionalism.If there is evi- , dent disinclination to speak of higher things, | be willing to walt, as God waits.Probably | vou will not visit a home long betore trouble, joy, pain or death enters it, and \"then serious words will be listened to as never before.Cf course; at any time {tf \"there is the smallest opening given you to speak for God, seize it; it may be, a chance word or so will relieve a deep hunger for spiritual help hitherto hidden though shyness.It is a good plan to leave one main thought or verse for your friend to ponder over.REFUSE TO HEAR GOSSIP.If you sternly refuse to hear slander, you help the fire of malice to dle, instead of sdding fuel.If gossip is told you concern- fog yourself, imitate the worker who.al- | kways silenced her informant by saying, \u2018I'll go and ask them myself what they did say.\u2019 Study the courtesies of life.Treat the women in your district with the courtesy you would show to your own friends.Don\u2019t call too often, cr at awkward hours.There is a wonderful power in the simple courte- gies of life, in a kind word or smile.I opce visited u rough, coarse, hard-featured woman with reference to a street fight.She was in a savage mood, scarcely letting me enter the room.After listening to her tirade in silence I happened to utter the éommonplace, \u2018I am so sorry; you have had a lot of trouble.\u201d With what result?The fire died out of the poor creature's, eyes as she turned sharply round and eaid, \u2018Don\u2019t talk kind to me, d'ye hear.I can\u2019t bear it: I shall ery.I'm tough enough it folks only let me be.\u2019 It is a good plan to let your district come and see you occasionally in your own home.Visits among your own friends are not all on one side, why should they be here ?Would it be much trouble to set apart an hour a week to see any woman who cared to call on you?Often in a cottage, with little ones about, it is not possible to get quiet, uninterrupted talk, while in the privacy ot your home you could easily, and so set up A CLOSER BOND OF SISTERLY SYMPATHY.: The difficult matter of material relief must enter intq the visitor's work, but it 1s impossible to lay down any hard or fast rule to suit \u2018all cases.A visitor must remember her aim, viz., to bring each soul pearer to God, and so any gift of hers or refusal of same must be tested by the simple question: Am I helping or hindering thereby his or her true lite?If material relief is given, tt should always be in kind \u2014by meat, grocery tickets, ete., and not In the form of money.Lending should be very exceptional, because as a rule the one to whom you have lent views you ever after with a certain disfavor, as under obligation to you, and your spiritual influence is weakened.I close with the word \u2018Patience.\u2019 The district visitor needs that above all.A thought sown to-day, a kindly Christ-like act to-morrow, a text whispered in blinding sorrows, here a suggestion, there a warning\u2014all are elements in building up that precious fabric of the soul which is not the structure of a moment.Be as patient as God is with the unlovely, the untoward, the hard, coarse and ignorant.Underneath the rough exterior there beats a heart; there is still the potentiality of the true and the spiritual, and you must dig and dig, till you reach that.\u2014Isabel M.M.Young in \u2018The Christian.\u2019 NEED OF SLEEP.*A physician who is a speclalist in nervous diseases says that women should sleep at least nine hours at night and one hour in the day-time.A woman will plead that ghe hasn't time to lle down for a few minutes in the day-time; and she will infringe upon the hours of night, which should be given to sound, healthy, needed sleep, in order to finish some pièce of work which could as well be completed on the SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1899, morrow.She will rush and hurry all dny long, and then, when the bouschold is hushed in slumber at night, she will ait to { read the daily paper, thinking she will not i have to pay for the time she is steali:g | from the health-giving sleep that comes be- fcre midnight \u2014'New England Fariuer.\u2018 HOW TO DRY WET SHOES, When, without overshoes, you have been caught in a heavy rainstorm, pcrhaps you i have known already what to do wiih your best kid boots, which have been thoroughly wet through, and which, if left to dry in the ordinary way, will be stiff, brittle, ard unsightly.If not, you will be glad ta learn what I heard only recently, from whose experience is of value.First, wipe off gently with a soft cloth all surface water and mud; then, while still wet, rub well with kerosene oil.using for the purpose the furred side of Canton flannel.Set them astde till partially dry, when a second treatment with oil is advisable.They may then be deposited in a conveniently warm place, where they will dry gradually and thoroughly.Befora applying French kid dressing give them a final rubbing with the flannel, still slightly dampened with kerosene, and your boots will be soft and flexible as new kid, and be very little affected by their bath in the rain.\u2014\u2018Harper's Bazar.BRUSHING IMPROVES THE HAIR.The very best brushes should always be chosen, and at the very least one hundred strokes a day should be vigorously administered.The bristles of the brush should not be so hard as to drag the hair out in case of a tangle obstructing their course.Nor should they be yielding.It is useless to brush the hair unless the skin of ths head be brushed as well.The friction stimulates it and makes the hair grow.Brushing the hair with slow and languid strokes is simply useless.Vigor and intention are necessary to produce a really good effect and induce the bright, bealth+ gloss that hair should have.\u2014May \u2018Ladies\u2019 Home Journal.\u2019 ane Egg Balls\u2014Boll four eggs for ten minutes, put them into cold water;

indi- y in the original announcement thus: \u2018Fa examining this story, four points will be given for plot, three mints for description, one point for grammar, one for spelling and punctuation, and one for clear handwriting, out of a possible total of \u2018ten points.\u2019 This scheme was adhered to, and many competitors lost an important mark through bad spelling, careless punctuation, incorrect grammar, illegible handwriting, where otherwise they might have ranked with those whose stories gained some one of our special notices.Other competitors wrote fair stories, bat which were, however, far too tame when compared with the exciting nature of the picture that was supposed to illustrate them.The picture suggested great action\u2014a story with a \u2018swing\u2019 to it.Therefore a competitor offering a story, the plot of which was full of action, was very rightly considered to be fulfilling the :conditions of this particular competition better than the competitor who sexy in, perhaps, a more artistic story as.a whole, but which was of a flowing.dreamy nature or merely consisting of quiet description.Those who failed to win prizes or to be mentioned in the \u2018very highly commended\u2019 list should not be discouraged.85 McLaren For in, reading the stories it was quite | evident?that some authors would have done better had they uot been obliged to limit themselves to 1,000 words nor to remember that the scene in our picture must be described.With regard to the prize winners, it may be remarked that Augustus G.Nutter and.Herbert J.Moorhouse were easily.the leaders in the race, and that the latter was a close second.Those whose names are in the \u2018very highly commended\u201d list ¢amg' very hard upon Mac B.Davidson.PUBLICATION OF

success.TO THE COMPETITORS GENERALLY The editor would like to thank all the competitors for the extreme care that has been shown in the preparation of their manuscripts, and aleo for the inter- \"BRN Be br LA NOM OA SE enn de an I ece esting letters that accompanied many of them.Regarding the stories, the authors may be amused to hear that quite three- fourths of their number named the little girl in the picture \u2018Mabel.\u2019 Mabel proved to be a little lady of very uncertain age.She has been as young as five and as old as 17, while perhaps most often about thirteen or fourteen.As to nationality, she has been made most frequently a little English girl, recently come with her parents to settle in Canada, and stolen by Indians in revenge for some insult, real or imaginary.In such cases the pie- ture was made to represent the chief scene in her rescue\u2014the Rocky Mountains being the immediate locality.\u2018While the man in the cave-like hollow of the cliff was generally regarded as an Indian, several people made him an outlaw, either French or English.When regarded as an Indian.he was most often \u2018agwigned the rank of a chieftan.It was ite\u2019 evident that his christening had \u2018béga a matter of no small moment to most of the authors.He had all sorts of names :\u2014\u2018Eagle Eyes, \u2018Hawk Nose,\u201d \u2018Black Eagle,\u2019 \u2018Red Hawk,\u201d \u2018White Boy,\u2019 \u2018Black\u2019 \u2018Joe,\u2019 \u2018Swift Foot,\u2019 Cloud,\u201d etc.He was a man of splendid proportions, no one allowing.him to be under six feet high.He.was generally made to be à scapegrace,'but in a few instances he was the wronged, and the sympathies of the readers were claimed on his account.The woman to the rear of the little girl was, perhaps, most often considered to be the man\u2019s wife or his prospective wife.Frequently, however, she was his daughter, and occasionally even his mother.In A all.Most of the writers were careful to observe that the rope in the picture is drawn tight.Some imagined it knotted to a tree below, while others had a great stone attached to its end, or in some cases a human being.In the last instance it was comforting to find that the unfortunate individual was invariably rescued before this unpleasant suspension had ended fatally.a In the street, hat lifted when saying \u2018 Good-bye\u2019 or \u2018 How do you do

\u2018Last year I had occasion to punish an Indian named Red-Dog, and, after his release, warned him to leave the country.As he was seen two days later by Sergeant O'Malley at Fort Joseph, fifty miles away, I had good reason to believe he had obeyed orders, and I thought no more of him.; \u2018Months after, Haïry and Marjorie, my brother\u2019s two children, aged respectively fourteen and twelve, arrived on a visit, and soon made friends with everybody, à especially Sergeant 0\u2019Malley and Oneita, an Indian girl, about.eighteen years of age.- \u2018As they were good riders, long trips about the country were often taken, and one day they asked my permission for an all-day excursion to Gifford\u2019s Canyon.I cheerfully said \u201cYes,\u201d adding that Oneita made as good a guide as she did .a com- pânion.: Co oo \u2018Next day, after giving Harry.asd Oneita \u2018service revolvers for small game} gaw the trio ride away in high spirits, hoping to reach the canyon in two hours.Six o'clock, -the time I had set for their return, finally cathe, and the party failed to show up.I didn\u2019t feel very anxious about them, but when it struck seven I mountain-side, Oneita spied a nest on a little ledge, quarter way down the other side of the canyon.Naturally, nothing d suit Harry but ita capture, and in \u2018| spite of.protests from.the.other two, he knotted together two lassos, brought for such an emergency, and set off to find a bridge over the canyon.It was not long before he found one, and ten minutes later be stood directly opposite the girls, and above the nest.\u2018With the aid of his | rope but -with-no amall amount of danger, his feet finally touched the ledge.But a glance at the girls astonished him.They were both shouting and waving their arms, and, try as hard as he could, he was unable to make out the meaning of their cries.For the sight that met their eyes would have frightened stouter hearts than theirs.Just asa Harry reached the nest Oneita uttered an exclamation, and pointed frantically to a spot half-way between the top of the cliff and Harry.Mabel turned, and, with terror, saw an Indian making his way along a ledge of rock to where the rope hung, taut with Harry\u2019s weight.\u2018The savage held a lighted torch in his band, and, on reaching the rope, paused for an instant, as if exulting over his coming revenge.Harty, unable to look to the ledge above, was unconscious of his awful danger, and could only guess at what was happening.The Indian glared across at the seemingly helpless girls and, .with a ery of revenge, drew his torch to the rope.But his shriek brought Oneita ] to her senses, for she recognized the terrible meaning of the cry, and knew she had only a few seconds in ,which to act.Rapidly drawing the revolver I had pro: videntially given her, she levelled it at the savage, and steadying her trembling arm, fired, and.Red-Dog, giving a convulsive leap, fell.sent O'Malley and a squad after them.2 Zon

heard, and the Sergeant and his men came quickly to them, attracted by the pistol shot.One glance at the savage had been enough for O'Malley.\u201cBejabers, it\u2019s Red-Dog,\u201d he cried,

hands, for Herr Van Hyussen is a baron.His \u2018nest\u2019 is a shanty ten feet high, eight feet broad, and ten deep, standing fifteen feet above the ground among the branches of a mighty oak in the thickest part of the forest.Baron Van Hyussen says his house is cool in summer, being protected by the green roof, and not too cold in winter.He would not change it for any palace in the world.He reaches it by ladder, but nobody else does, as he has no friends, and is not on visiting terms with his relatives.When he leaves his refuge to walk among mediately pulls it up again by a special contrivance.When he is at home the ladder is always up, and no amount oi calling, shouting or other noise can make the baron lower it or persuade him to poke his head out of the door.When, fifteen years ago, he moved up among the trees the servants he then employed brought to the nest a small folding bed, a rocking chair, a tiny table, 5) is ECCENTRIC BARON WHO LIVES IN A TREE.a cooking stove, and a safe.These things are known to be in the shanty\u2014whether there is anything more, besides the baron\u2019s fierce watch-dog, nobody knows.It is surmised, however,, that Van Hyussen keeps much money, gold and silver-on hand, for he is à miser.ass- ers-by, it is said, often hear the click- click of coins coming from the leafy dome ; on such occasions the baron is supposed to be counting his treasure.but whether this surmise is true is a question.Perhaps he is merely trying his gun.Shooting is the only pleasure he allows himself, and, being the owner of the forest where he lives, he provides all the meat for his table.Wonderful stories are in circulation respecting this man's skill as a crack shot.Maybe that is one reason why he never yet was molest ed by burglars or robbers.: Twenty years ago Baron Van Hyus- sen held the post of chamberlain at the court of \u2018old King William.He was then very gay, full of money and health.Suddenly, in the midst of pleasures, he withdrew himself from society, appointed an administrator for his estates, and went to the forest,where he spent a month putting up the house shown in the illustration.That done, he discharged his servants, sold his horses, carriages and furniture, and said \u2018good-bye\u2019 to the world.He has rarely spoken to any one since.\u2014 New York \u2018Press\u2019 THE GREEN O' THE YEAR.O the green o\u2019

the Laurier Government did well to grant the plebiscite, but at the same time the prohibitionists, who were victorious .at the polls, were not content to reap the benefit of a de- \u2018feat.Though they\u2019 regretted that pro- | hibitory liquor legiglation for the whole Dominion was refused, yet they would be glad of such a measure of local prohibition as would be effective, namely, such an amendment of the Scott Act as would prohibit the importation and manufac ture, as well as the sale, of intoxicants in a Scott Act district.The prohibition: ists here, in conjunction with other pro hibitiapists ic the Dominion, expect that something will he done for them in view of the victory they won ; otherwise they will remember it.27 The meeting was closed with singing and prayer.to meet again on the first Friday evening in June A LETTERS FROM READERS MR.REID'S SERMON.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witnems.\u2019) Sir,\u2014It is indeed heartening and hopeful in a high degree to hear socialism propagated or endorsed from the pulpit, where what has been pot ineptly termed \u2018other-worldlinese\u2019 has too long been the rule, discouraging and discountenencing with: its fine scorn of the things of this life, all serious effort to right the wrongs of \u2018this wicked world\u2019 Want, misery, humiliation, degradation, the voice from the pulpit has cried to us:.\u2018These things are God's will.Why murmur or struggle?Set your gaze above -this world, God is in heaven, a mansion in the skies awatts you, and all is right\u2019 As to socialism, communism and the like, the Church has again and again pronounced these schemes for reforming our social life, if not the work of the devil, at least a wayward, rebellious flying in the face of Providence, who intended that the majotity of men sould be poor, miserable and oppressed.Now, Mr.Reid, in his sermon as print ed in Saturdey\u2019s \u2018Witdess,\u201d lms so/fax emerged from the.darkness of this position as to declare in favor of socialism (of some kind) ahd socialists will welcome him into the light.Mr.Reid says, among other things: \u2018Socialism has accomplished much in many places in Fur- ope towards the solution of the problem of business relationships.\u2019 I believe that nationalization socialism would be a good thing; I believe that government should own the railways.In Austria, where that ia 80, you cen ride six miles for two cents and the employees, working only eight hours a day, are better paid than in the United States.1 would also have the government own the land and operate all the great buginesses of the country especially in the line of supplying the great needs of the nation.\u2019 But as showing that he is only eanerg- ing, and not emerged, and that between the still clinging cobwebs of the past and the dazzling light (of socialism) into which he has burst, he is yet in some (not unnatural) confusion.Mr.Reid proceeds to \u2018hedge\u2019 somewhat on the concessions he has made, and says the remn- \u2018edy of socialism would be ¢nly \u2018a pro visional and temporary remedy against the inequalittes of the present social eystem; that the true test, and the one thing needful is a \u2018changed heart\u2019 in the people.Now, experience is entirely op posed to this theory.It is of worldwide knowledge that the operation of what is known as a \u2018changed\u2019 or \u2018regenerated heart,\u2019 has almost invariably been to lift ite possessor above the world he lives in, to fix all his desires and hopes upon an afterlife, with the result that lie despises, or professes to despise, this earthly sphere too much to put forward any great effort for its social reformation.The \u2018changed heart\u2019 mey take care of the next world, and for the man who considere that only the next world matters, the neglect of this world is not without show of reason, however syper- ficial; but Mr.Reid is one who has the great fruth that this world and this life do matter.Surely then he should perceive that what is wanted for the reform of phyeical and material conditions is not \u2018change of heart\u2019 but change of method: earnest men and women with a whole-hearted interest in the things of this life, people who know their own minds and have the courage of their convictions, to handle economic facts in the light of common sense and fair play; to tuck up their sleeves and \u2018do things\u2019 as their intelligence prémpts, not leaving material things to the working of mystical \u2018and spiritual changes of the heart.In our household economies, the getting or the eating of a dinner, the buying of a hat, the building of a hencoop, or the ff.arranging of a roomful of furniture, we do not \u2018lay it on Jesus,\u2019 or say it all de pends upon a \u2018change of heart.\u2019 These are physical and material concerns within our own province and control, and if we are men and have intelligence, industry and honesty, we can tackle these things for ourselves, not leaving it ta God and laying the blame om him if our own stupidity, negligence or dishonesty hae brought things into a muddle.Tf by \u2018changed heart\u2019 Mr.Reid means simply a quickened apprehension of the gross immorality of our iniquitous econ- owic .oonditiogs, and an awakened zeal for the righting, bere and now, of this world\u2019s \u2018wrongs, then I am et oñe with him; but the phrase \u2018change of heart\u2019 has so long been identified with aloot- ness from this world\u2019s concerns that its employment in the present connection is more than unfortunate\u2014it may mislead.Recognizing that Mr.Reid is but new to the light of economic truth and polity, 1 will pass lightly, albeit warningly, over the crudities and inaccuracies of his remarks on communism end anarchism.1 am no anarchist, having specific and cogent objections to offer on its points of \u2018divergence from socrlism, but this I will say: 1 have known peveral anarchists (though never one of' the \u2018violent\u2019 persuasion, who are a constantly diminishing quantity, and no longer realty representative) and I bave no hesitation in asserting that Mr.Reid\u2019s characterization of anarchiem as \u2018earthly, sensual and devilish,\u201d is a grostesque slander, which shows he has never studied the matter even moderately, Ponder thse terms, \u2018earthly, sensual, and devilish,\u2019 in conjunction with such names as Tolstoy and Krapotkin and numerous others that will oocur to any fairly well informed person.As to communism meaning \u2018the aboti- tion of the family, of property, and often of rebgion,\u201d there is simply wo warrant in fact for the statement.Communism is purely an economic and social relation with which a man\u2019s religion hes absolutely nothing to do.That anarchiste declare against all human co-operation is another misconception of Mr.Reid\u2019s.Anarchists say that \u2018rule\u2019 and \u2018government\u2019 have failed, and should be abolished; but free agreement snd cooperation are among their most cherished hopes and ideals.In release from governmental restraint, they look for freedom to discover and cultivate those personal affinities on which to build true co-operation.I am not here to de fend these theories, having myself def inite objections.1 omly etate them against misrepresentation.I trust my letter wil not seem too grudging a welcome to a new convert, but that I may receive the same credit for good intentions as 1 cordially extend to Mr.Reid; but I have felt it necessary in the interests of truth and progress to emphasize every paint that tends to teach the following two-fold lesson \u2018which Lot Mr.Reid alone but every ome of us needs to keep conatently in mind, via: Don\u2019t speak (in public at all events) in ion of any scheme or cult until you have: studied it, and know of what you speak; and\u2019 do not seek to remedy materiel inequalities and evils by reli- anoe upon a spiritual agent (the changed heart for instance) which centuries of trial have proved unfitted for the purpose, an agent, a spirit, thet has indeed animated, and is animating, in thous: ands of instances, the most stubborn supporters of an economic system which they claim fulfils the Master's will as expressed in those much misconstrued words, \u2018The poor you have always with you.\u2019 \u2018RATIONAL.Montreal, May 8, 1809.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019 Sir,\u2014The soucialistic sermon of last Saturday\u2019s issue hes its place.It is becoming evident that there is radical wrong in our very comstitutions of law.As long as monopolies and combines and trusts and gambling can flourish some people will macadamize their garden walks with the bones of men.The combines, however, are teaching the lesson that great enter prises may be carried on under one head.And if so, why not by a government\u2014if honest enough men ean be found to send to parliament?Corporations are enriching themselves and the masses are poor er and with less privileges.Why enrich the stockholders of the C.P.R.or the Montreal Street Railway, when the public ownership would avoid the \u2018tyranny\u2019 and give common comforts and privileges to the many?Not only will the Moyie incident be repeated but dur whole Neorth-Weet must develop only in so far as it feeds the coffers of the monopoly.Municipal ownership is the district school preparing the way for government \u2014the people\u2019s ownership.The late vie tory of the people in

ABSOLUTION\u2019 IN THE PRAYER BOOK.(To the Editor of the \u2018 Witness.) Sir, \u2014The Rev.G.O.Troop, in his letter, does not.appear to me to answer my question as to the meaning of the words of absolution in the order for the visitation of the sick, which atill appear to me to prove tonclusively that the Church of England recognizes a priesthood of the clergy, for wbich priesthood Mr.Troop asserted that there was \u2018not à vestige of foundation in either the New Testament or the Book of Common Pray- \u201d Allow me to bring forward another prayer book \u2018vestige,\u2019 (words spoken by the bishop at the ordination of Mr.Troop to.the priesthood): \u2018 Receive the Holy Ghost for the office and work of a priest in the Chureh of God, now committed unto thee by the impreition of our hands.Whose sins thou dost forgive, they are forgiven; and whose ging thou dost retain, they are retained.\u2019 etc.What do these words mean ?I am not attempting any arguments pro or con.I am simply trying to show \u2018 vestiges\u2019 of authority where M:.Troop says none are to be found! In the eighth clause of hie letic» Mr.Troop _says :\u2014\u2018 Imagine Rome leaving the confession and absolution entirely to the discretion of the penitent.This the Church of England, beyond denial, does.\u2019 Exactly, and that \u2018s the d'fer- ence between confession and absolution in the Church of England, and confession and absolution in the Church of Rome.I shall look for Mr.Tronp\u2019s reply in your paper, and having rcad it, shall do myself the pleasure of writing to him privately in response to his very kind invitation.DEACON.Toronto, May 18,

the Italian ice-cream pediers are giving children in the streets of Montreal.A child puts down a cent.If it the child gets two eggcups of ice-cream; if not, only ome.In these days of hygienic

the streets, its paid players have as much but no more claim, for public admiration.I have nothing more to may against them.But those of our citizens who have invested money in the speculation do not seem to have any compunctions as to how it comes back.I refer to the circulars sent among the audience on Saturday of the match to take place between the Montreal club and the Hartford club on

\u2018the city of Montreal that under the new city by-law governing taxation, that we will be required to make a sworn declaration as to the cost of machinery used by us in our works ; that the assessors sitting as judges under this law will value this machinery at what they consider it worth, and that we shall be compelled to pay the taxes thereon.This gentleman asserts that under the law all machinery driven by power, whith is fastened to the floor in any way, is fo be assessed.This rule practically coyers all machinery driven by power, as it is not sefe to run any machine by power unless it is fastened down, although the fastenings may be only a lag screw.The position in which this ruling puts many facturers in the city of Montreal can- tb judged from the position in, which it putr our firm.- We have established in the.city of Montreal works employing abadt.200 men, at an average rate of pay of sim teen cents an hour.The realty is valueg- at something like ,000 for buildi and Jand, and we have about $28,000 machinery.We pay every year in wi something like $78,000, and as our wor are established in the city, nearly all employees have to live in the city, and are ratepayers to the city of Mohtrash We have spent within the last two years in improvement of our plant and brig ing it up to the standard something like 220,000 ip the city of Montreal.We are now under the new by-law to have the present valuation for taxation doubled, while our competitors, who have established their factories outside the city limits, but have every facility for manufacturing and selling in the city that we have, are free of such taxes.Under these conditions it seems to us that it is only a question of time when every manufacturer will be driven outside of the city of Montreal.The position taken by the assessor is, we need hardly say, diametrically opposite to that taken by the aldermen when called upon recently by the representatives of the manufacturers in respect to this important matter.MANUFACTURER.Montreal, May 18, 1899.It is a dirty way of A.B.THE HOLINESS MOVEMENT.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witnees.\u2019) Sir,\u2014At the evangelistic meeting in the Centenary Methodist Church, Point St.Charles, the other evening, conducted by Messrs.Croesley and Hunter, the latter, while making some explanatory remarks on Matt.v., 10: \u2018Blessed are they which] are persecuted for righteousness sake, etc,\u2019 said that some people courted per secution by holding a peculiar belief, and acting liarly in their religious life, and vo Soarred ridicule, etc, and they cated it persecution.He went on to say that at St.John\u2019s, Nfld., a number of people had withdrawn from the church they attended, had rented a hall and then sent for the Rev.R.C.Horner to organize them into a branch of the \u2018Holi ness Movement,\u2019 and said he would \u2018rather have smallpox than do as they did.\u2019 We think this is a very unwise statement to be made by any person, and especially by an evangelist before a large audience.We do not think there is any of the spirit of the meek and lowly Jesus in it, or any of the love spoken of, so beautifully in I.Cor.xiii.It is no easy matter to separate one\u2019s self from a church he has been connected with, perhaps for many years, or all his life, for conscience sake.We do not believe those peorle Mr.Hunter referred to did so without many prayers and tears, and we were pleased to hear from Mr.Hor- ners owh lips that they were amongst the most pious, loving and united people he ever met.We hope they will continue to be worthy of such praise, and that they will be abundantly blessed in the step they have taken for conscience e.Mr.Horner has a genuine deep, Chris! tian experience; one which is very much needed in the Methodist and other de nominations at the present time, and his followers are a devoted, separated and peculiar people, zealous for God and good works, and anxious to reach the unsaved, but they have no confidence in a \u2018hold- up-your-hand\u2019 salvation.The human beart is \u2018deceitful above all things and des: perately wicked,\u201d and the ginner cannot obtain ceénæing from ein by any such superficial methods, nor can the hungry soul of the believer get nourishment from theological essays, song services, etc.The sooner the people get to believe that the better it will be for them.= CITIZEN.LET THE WAR GO ON.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014If the plebiscite vote had given the same majorities against prohibition as it did for it, it would have been regarded as a decisive victory for the liquor trade all over this country.The liquor men, the politicians, and the government itself would have pointed to that vote and said, \u2018Gentlemen, that scitles the question.Majorities must rule \u2014the people have spoken and we must abide by their decision.\u2019 If the prohibitioniste presumed to set up the claim that such majorities were not sufficient gnd thet the liquor traffic required wt least a good half of.«ll the electors of the country to vote for its continuance, how scornfully such a pro- \u2018position would bave been treated.And \u2018I'8o man would have pointed out its absurdity ifpere eloquently than Sir Wil frid.Lattier himself.If half the entire electoral vote is required in order to sustain prohibition, why should not half the entire electoral \u2018vote be required to sustain the liquor \u2018traffic?Does not prohibition deserve as {fair treatment as the liquor traffic?The liquor traffic has never had a majority of the electoral votes of this country in its favor.It has been defeated in all the plebiscites taken and in this last one, for the most part overwhelmingly so.Yet, it goes on in triumph and prohibition is dropped as of no account.Perhaps the prohibitionists themselves have .serioualy failed to appreciate their own victory.It was a veritable Waterloo.It took fifty years of the most persistent toil, self-sacrifice and all the accumulated wisdom and moral strength gained in innumerable conflicts of the pet to win this battle.Never did liquordom fight so hard, for Lit was fighting for its life.Every inch gained was gained in the teeth of the ymost wily, unprincipled, thoroughly organized, and widly desperate efforts of \u2018the lighor-men, backed by unlimited money and backed even by good men | who, through a grave mistake, did their J beat to help them.Instead of belittling that vigtory, there never was the like of Hit in any country in the world nor j among any nation of men before.Ir The only proper thing \u2018and \u2018safe thing to do, after such a battle is to follow it up at once and see that the enemy does not get time to mass his forces again, Perhaps the ccol act of the govern- went in ignoring the prohibition vote ray yet rouse the temperance people from the dangerous lull of inaction which has set in.If the righteous wrath of the prohibitioniscs only gets into a sufficiently white heat, as to burn the idea into the heads of these politicians that their political life is in real peril, and that the time for enduring such trifling is past, it may be a good thing after all.The moment the government is persuaded that the prohibitionists have really risen above party and will vote for principle at the next election a sudden conversion will take place in these men, and whether the change of heart is sincere or not, prohibition will come anyway./.Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his tabinet believe that with a sold liquor vote at their back and 2 lerge majority of the Libens] prohibitionist vote, too, they are quite secure in defying the whole prohibition movement.It is for the Christian electors of this country to show them that they are mis- taken-\u2014that no government will be sustained in Canada who will maintain the liquor traffic\u2014who will not do their duty in the suppression of the most abominable and ruinous curse of all the curses that afflict our country.Certainly the remedy is in the hands of the majority who voted for prohibition, end before we make any more profession of religion, either towards God or our fellow-men, let us settle it, but in future, God helping us, we will vote every time as we pray.JAMES C.SEYMOUR.Paisley, Ont.er A SUNDAY LAW.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir, \u2014In the \u2018Witnees\u2019 of April 18 there is an urgent call for a Sunday law for the Province of Quebec.I would like to ask what good would be accomplished by such a law?Has God forsaken the churches, that they have to turn to the law to make people good?The blessing promised in Isaiah lviii, 13, 14, is claimed for the Sunday.We cannot claim that nor any other blessing promised ir the bible for Sunday, for it is told plainly that God set apart the seventh day and made it holy in commemoration of the creation, and it was for keeping the seventh day that God promised the bless ings.Besides, there are different pects in the province which keep the day that God appointed to be kept.Have they not the right to keep the seventh, if their consciences tell them to do so?When we look at jt aright we must conclude that a Sunday law would be a persecuting law.If ro there is something wrong about it.Tet us study God's word with fasting and prayer for God\u2019s Holy Spirit , health office be invested with power to \u2018peat, with boxes, barrels, stoves, strain- to guide us lest instead of forwarding God's cause we be found fighting against him \u2018and persecuting those that have the truth.M.B.OLSEN.Sawyerville, Que, » rer DIRTY YARDS AND LANES.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Although there has been much SATURDAY, May 20, 1899.few lady inspectors were appointed, as in some parts of the United States, there would soon be an improvement in our yards and lanes.Besides, when laws are made, they should be published in every paper, and pamphlet notices sent to every householder, and when not rigidly kept, the offending parties should be made an example of without the \u2018option of a fine\u201d But when any innovation is suggested by the city the depart- said about dirty streets, very little has! ments hold up their hands and say \u2018We been said about dirty lanes, and scarcely | & word that touched upon dirty yards.It is quite as important to have the back of the houses clean as the front, therefore, | I would call the attention of the public, through the columns of your widely- read paper, in this direction.Many yards and lanes are a disgrace.It is not to the poorer districts I allude.Yards in the best localities are in a shocking state of filth.The sight is truly disgusting, and detrimental to health.Such a state of things should not be allowed to exist, and one would scarcely believe it could be so, where there is a scavenging system, and a health department \u2014 forsooth.I consider the laws for cleanliness in this city exceedingly lax.I heard privately some time ago that there were going to be some very stringent laws made in this respect, and that the health office was actually going to publish them\u2014fanecy that! I am not sure if it went any further than the intention.However, it is one thing to make laws, and another to enforce them.Now, I should like to ask if the health office has had any laws to this effect, or if new ones be made, will the enforce them.If so, why does it not do it?Must it not be part of the duty of the health department to prevent sickness by enforcing laws of cleanliness to prevent sickness, as to put the city to the expense of erecting a contagious diseases hospital to cure sickness?I asked a health officer once why the department did not stop people from throwing garbage into their lames and yards, and thereby prevent such a state of affairs as at present exists.He said: \u2018We cannot stop the water flowing in the river.\u201d 1 fail to see the force of such a comparison.Have they not power to act?or is it a case of gross neglect on their part, that things have come to such a pass?I know that it was only after weeks and weeks of complaints to the health office, and repeated strong letters, ending in threats.for damages in case of sickness, that a couple of families In a row were stopped from throwing filth into yards of the complainants.But, again, I well know our worthy health officer and his staff hawe much to contend with, for there are so many careless and dirty people.in the city.Now, clean people are a law unto themselves, but the dirty ones should be severely dealt with.Every householder should make a vigorous attempt to help the health dfficers in their efforts to discharge their duties \u2018properly, and parents, and mistresses should discourage the horrible habit, in their children and servants, of throwing things out of windows and over galleries, to the annoyance of others.People should be prevented from throwing garbage in the yards of others.It is enough for families to clean after themselves.There is a gentleman at hand who cleans his yard every week, though neither he nor his family throw anything into it.These things are not confined to \u2018Griffintown, What would you think of a stylish family living in a fashionable neighborhood, being notified by the health department to clean their yard, and stop throwing offensive matter therein, removing the dirt from one nart, while the officer was on watch, and leaving the filthy heap rotting for weeks, also continuing to throw refuse, not only in their own yard, but those of , others?To think they could do this with impunity! No one to say a word.Another stylish family have had a veritable dunghill all over a lovely planked yard, the whole winter.which was enough to cause a pestilence in any community, and only after many complaints was it cleaned.Again, a family near-by was a source of annoyance for months.After many warnings from the health department the officer was no sooner past the front door, than a dish of garbage would be thrown down.For a time the kindly snow spread a friendly mantle over all this; but now a change of action should prevail, Many people spend much time polishing the knobs and glass of théir front doors who never give a thought to their unsightly and noisome yards.But why the need of such untidiness and hedps of dirt?In winter offal can be burned, in' summer it is an easy matter to go to your barrel after each meai with your strainer full of refuse.I know a lady, who, besides having a \u2018catch-all,\u2019 in every »oom, has a \u2018dust box,\u201d on each flat, into which all dry waste material is cast, and this is emptied into the barrel on Fridays, ot burned.Why will people pass their sinks, stoves and barrels and throw slops, ashes, peelings, etc., out of windows and over galleries, and that, too, into recesses of extensions where never a friendly ray of sunshine wends its way to dry up the place;

unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit of traditions of men.\u201d See also chap.XXL, sec.1, \u201cBut the acceptable way of worshipping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will, that he may not be worshipped according to the imaginations and devices of men, or the suggestions of Satan, under any visible representation, or any other way not prescribed in the holy scriptures.\u201d \u2018II.Whereas, the fundamental heresy of all the Romish errors and superstitious rites and ceremonies, is denying the holy scriptures to be a sufficient rule of faith and practice.As a consequence of this denial, the Church of Rome mingles creature authority with the absolute authority of Jehovah, speaking in his written word.\u2018HI.Whereas, the pamphlet on \u201cWorship,\u201d published by permission of the convener of the General Assembly\u2019s committee on worship, so far from recognizing God\u2019s word as the only rule to direct us in worship : 1.Teaches that it is not a complete rule.Ses page 47: \u201cI have aimed at expressing the views nf those who de-ire a partial and optional li urgy.\u201d He did not seek to express God's views.On page 60, speaking of the Presbyterian Church, the writer says : \u2018It looks for its polity: where it finds its doctrine and.discipline\u2014nowhere, but in the scripture.In polity it stands between prelacy and independency, and in worship it ought to stand where it stood long ago\u2014both in the sixteenth and seventeenth centu- ries\u2014between ritualism and radicalism.\u201d On page 72 the writer, after acknowledging that the service of the New Testament was of a very simple character, and thatthe eptetuat Man -hdéquite satisfied with such a service, nevertheless goes on, and for the sake of the natural man pleads for a liturgical service.2.The pamphlet advocates modes of worship for which no scriptural authority \u2018an be given, e.g., page 40, \u2018Responsive reading of the scriptures\u2019 ; page 48.\u2018The observance of Christmas and Easter,\u201d etc.etc.\u2018Therfore, I most respectfully overture the venerable the General Assembly to take such steps as in its wisdom may seem best to give at east a note of warning against all unscriptural modes of worship, and to show the momentous importance of honoring and making use alone of those modes authorized by the great Head and King of the Church in his own written word.\u2018All of which is resnectfullv submitted.\u2018ANGUS MACKAY\u201d Lucknow, May 16, 1899._\u2014\u2014 REV.SAMUEL H.KELLOGG, D.D., LL.D.(\u2018Presbyterian Banner, Pittsburg.)

England, where they are laying with the 6th Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers), left Sydney on March 3 last, on board the White Star Liner \u2018Nineveh.\u2019 At the Cape they landed and were paraded, exciting where their smart appearance and fine physique called forth abundant praise.The \u2018Nineveh.\u201d arrived in the Royal Albert Docks on Wednesday, April 26, last, and next day the squadrons marched to Waterloo, to go by train to Aldershot.Headed! by the band of the Coldstream Guards, ! the Lancers, with Captain Cox, who is in command of the squadron, on horse-! back, leading them, were

to take part in the Jubilee celebrations.The cost of this last trip, which amounts to £4,500, is entirely borne by the \u2018officers and men and their friends, no public money whatever being voted for the expense.Each man had to find £20 before starting and the money he will \u2018get back in the way of pay will only amount to £16.The rest of the money was subscribed by the officers and the

and that in going by a narrow path on a mountain side his wheel had met with some little obstruction, and been turned aside and carried down one of the precipices which are so numerous among the

Princeton Theological Seminary, 1864; ordained by the Pres bytery of Hudson, April 20, 1864; missionary in India, at Futtehguhr, 1865-71; Allahabad, 1872-76; professor of theology, Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pa.1877-88; stated supply, Third Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh, 1876; pastor, 1877; stated supply, East Liberty Church, Pittsburg 1881-82 ; stated supply, Firet Presbyterian Church, Pitts burg, 1884-86 ; pastor St.James Churadh, Toronto, Canada, 1886-92; professor of Hebrew and Old Testament Exegesis, Knox Seminary, Toronto, 1892; mission\u201c ary at Landour, northern India, 1893-99.The cause of Dr.Kellogg's return to India, the field of his early labors, was this: The need of a new translation of the Old Testament in the Hindustani language had been long felt, and the British and Foreign Pible Society, and the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis- gions, determined to undertake this work.Owing to the high reputation of Dr.Kellogg as a Hindustani scholar, he was chosen, along with Dr.Hooper, of England, and Dr.Bates, of the United States, for the executiom of this important duty and they accepted the appoint ment.But the physicians told Dr.Kel logg that it was impossible for him to live in India if he attempted to remain on the plains during the hot season, and that he must spend that part of the year in the mountains.This would necessitate an outlay of fifty percent more than he and his colleagues were to receive in the way of salary.In this emergency friends in this cily supplied the addi tional money needed for his rest in the mountains.The work had been so nearly completed that Dr.Kellogg bad ex-| pected to return to the United States in a few months and bad made arrange ments to deliver a course of lectures in Princeton.\u2019 Dr.Kellogg was a man of varied and large scholarly attainments.When going out to India the first time a few days after sailing, the captain of the vessel was drowned, and it was soon discovered that the second officer was utter ly incompetent to conduct the ship in safety.\u2018The crew and passengers were in consternation, but Mr.Kellogg who had been a mathematical tutor in l\u2019rinue- ton during his theological course in, the seminary, took charge and brought it to its destination.His range of studies was large and he was a prolific author.A Hindi Grammar prepared by him has been officially recognized by the British Government in the examinations for promotion in the East Indian service.Other volumes written by him are: \u2018The Jews, or Prediction and Fulfilment,\u2019 \u2018Commentary on Leviticus,\u2019 \u2018Genesis and the Growth of Religions,\u2019 (The I.P.Stone Lectures at Princeton, 1890-91), \u2018 From Death to the Resurrection,\u201d \u2018Are Pre-Mil- lenarians Right?\u2018The Light of Asia and the Light of the World.\u2019 This is a refutation of Edwin Arnold\u2019s \u2018Light of Asia,\u2019 and Mr.Arnold said, after reading it, that Dr.Kellogg was the only one of his many critics who knew what he was writing about.A new work, \u2018Compara: tive Religion,\u2019 has just.been issued by the Presbyterian Board of Publication.In addition to these publications he was the author of many articles in the religious newspapers and periodicals.He has even been a contributor to the \u2018Nine teenth Century.\u201d His scholarship was widely recognized.Several universities and colleges bestowed honorary degrees on him, and he was a corresponding member of the \u2018American Society of Orientalists,\u201d the \u2018International Congress of Orientalists,\u2019 the \u2018Victoria Institute of England,\u201d and many other scientific and religious associations.He was a power in India: Dr.Colin S.Valentine wrote in the Bombay \u2018Guardian,\u2019 of Dec.17, 1888: \u2018Dr.S.H.Kellogg, of Dehra Dun, who you know is one of the three Hindi bible revisers, delivered a most interesting and able lecture here a week ago in St.John's College (C.AML.S.).The subject was \u2018Religious Mysteries.\u201d The objection that we cannot accept of Christianity on ae- count of ite mysteries and apparent contradictions was dealt with in detail.The lecturer showed thet on the same principle it would be impossible to believe in matherantics, physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, etc.Numerous examples in each of those departments.of science were given in which the seeming impos- gibilities and apparent contradiations were even more.startling than any con- taired in the revealed word of God.The.lecturer dwelt upon the subjects of the Godhead, incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ, the atonement and resurrection, and showed how an honest seeker after the truth is bound to accept of those as the only solution to difficulties that would otherwise be insurmountable.The peroration urging upon all present to accept of the Lord Jesus Christ and his finished work, was most impressive, and was listened to with rapt attention.\u2018An old resident of Agra remarked to me, \u201cI have heard many lecturers in this hall, but I have never heard ome who was so attentively listened to.\u201d \u2018A suggestion was made by the chair man to the effect that Dr.Kellogg should be engaged to deliver a course of lectures at all our missionary schools and colleges.His long residence in that country, and intimate knowledge of the religious and philosophical systems of India make him more than usually qualified for such a task.\u2019 Dr.Kellogg was married to Miss An- } 23 ADVERTISEMENTS.\u201cEvery Cloud Has a Silver

24 THESE GROW IN WATER.Wild Flowers Which Strife Has \"Driven From the Land THE WONDERS OF THE MICROSCOPIC WORLD OF WATER PLANTS.\u2014 From the scenté point of view, the world of plants seems to be divided into a few large groups: \u2018The primitive forest and mosey trees; the slender vines and the multiform beauty of the orchids; the steppe, with its hard, sbarp-cutting gragees; the moist carpeting of Alpine flora, with gentian and fragrant herbs; the colored population of our meadows; our native forest with its berried undergrowth; the bushy river bank, and the insulated plant-covering of a pond.\u201d In the above rough grouping there is no patural relationship, but outer circumstances and conditions of life have im pressed their special characters upon tLese communities, and they furnish illustrations of Goethe's saying that \u2018the \u2018menner of life works powerfully on all forms\u2019 Walking along the shore of = large pond, the vegetable inhabitants mem to be divided into three groups; the shore plants on the banks; the floating leaves and flowers of the surface plants; and, in the depths, scarcely visi ble to the eye, the submerged flora, composed of a few, curiously-shaped, flowering plants, and many of the lower orders, the latter belonging, for the most part, to the little microscopic world.The .ghore plants form a transition class between the vegetation of the land and that of the water.The Algae and fu- coids omginated in water and were water ote from the first, but the other wa- pax.plants, esperially flowering plants @owing in water, were driven into the water by increasing competition among the growing number and variety of the land plants.\"There is something peculiarly fascinaf- AH about the ecomomy of the water Phnts, from the lowest to the highest forms.The diatoms in fresh water are the principal constituents of the brown- jsh-yellow, slippery ccating of the stones in the beds of brooks.These diatoms (or, siliceous Algae) ist of a 1 of \u2018living substances, inclosed in a box, as between two siliceous shells.The diatoms move through the water by the aid of a peculiar propulsory apparatus, till they, dying, sink to the bottom, and there go to help form the slime which is of so.great importance in the evolution: arv history of the: crust of the earth.Wherever there is a moderate degree of light, there are on the earth no wet places where Algae have not established a Lowe.The diversity of their habitats corresponds with the immense multitude 6f their forms.The method of dispersion of many of the Algae is especially interesting.They produce wandering cells which, endowed like the infusoris with free motion shoot around in the water till they find a point on which they can settle themselves and grow.\u2018The indi vidual cells bremk up and their contents creep out of the clefts in the form of oval bodies.At the forward end of these swarms may be observed (with a microscope) a number of fine threads, which.wwing rapidly back and forth till \u2018they: agquire a rotary motion, by means of which they swim spirally forward.The Austrian botanist Nuger, who was among the first to observ® the formation of wandering cells, believed at the time that he had surprised the plants in the act of becoming animals.Many of them have red spots in.front, which some have not irrationally soppesed were light- perceiving organs, ar eves of the simplest sort.Says a reoent writer upon this subject: \u2018The question whether plants have a consciousness meets us here more impressively than amywhere else in the vegetable kingdom.As we observe how wandering cells swim towards food-stuffs and avoid poisons, seek moderate light and retire from strong light, and distinguish their own Jikes from the wandering cells of other plants, we find really no difference.We have .to concede that the same feelings and expressions are apparent in both; ang if we ascribe a kind of soul to the animalé, we cannot deny it to plants.We cannot expect to find thought and reason in these circles of simplest existence of these lower beings consists in the upconscious reception of impres- sicns and the unconscious movements oc- awsioned by it.\u2019 * .® .The influence of environment is seen in the wandering Knotweed (Polygonum Amphibium), Buckwheat Family.It grows ou the borders of ditches and perde, often half on land and half in the water, and it presents quite a different appearance ip the water from that upon land.Stifly-haired, with ghort-stemmed leaves KNOTWEED, Polygonum Amphibium, Buckwheat Family.on land, it is, in water, bald and smooth, and develops very long leaf-stalks, which terminate on the surface in flat floating expansions.Growing in the water, the upper part, bearing the smooth green leaves and the spikes of crimson flowers, rises above the surface, and has been well described by Emerson as \u2018 Rosy Polygonum, Lake-margin\u2019s pride.\u2019 - * » .The annual water plants close their vital career with the formation of the seed.The pond lily and others have long root YELLOW POND-LILY, Nympbaea (Nu- phar) Advena, Water-Lily Family.stalks in which superfluous food is deposited during the summer, to serve in the spring for the formation of new leafy growth.Others form special winter buds which, likwise filled with food, separate from the mother plant, sink to the ground, or are frozen in the ice, till the returning warmth of the sun revives them.The Yellow Pond-Lily, Nymphaea (Nuphar) Advena, Water-Lily Family, is a very familiar object in pools and bogs, flowering from May until the close of the season.It is sometimes called Frog- lily or Splatter-dock, from its habit of growing in slimy ponds and sluggish streams.The sepals are usually six, large and yellow, the petals are more numerous and small, the stamens are very plentiful, the fruit is compound, consisting of many united carpels.* * * .The Scented Water-Lily, Castalia (Nymphaea) Odorata, Water-Lily, Family, SCENTED WATER-LILY, Castalia (Nym- pbaea) Odorata, Water-Lily Pamity.;.those are the prerogatives.of the'is a much handsomer flower than its sis- \u201c iAbaMitants of earth;

revised MATRICULATION CURRICULUM.Every other university has the right to fix its own standard of entrance, but this right all the rest hold largely in abeyance.This is due chiefly to the fact that, as the result of a succession of changes \u2018during the past twenty-five years the testing ot the work done in the high schools and collegiate institutes has drifted largely into the hands or under the control of the Edu- eation Department.It is now done by an \u2018Educational Council,\u201d the members of which are appointed annually by the Crown, and, quite naturally, care is taken that the members of this council shall, as far as practicable, be representative of the various universities and also of the various grades of educational work.The general effect of the changes made in the prescription of subjects for matriculation bes been to lessen the amount by at least ao as to afford an ooportuni- (> | Ni \\ i | NN > THE OPEN MOUTH ; OR, THE INTEGRITY OF CHINA.BRITISH LION\u2014It's all right, Johnny Chinaman, we've come to a perfectly friendly arrangement.RUSSIAN BEAR (pleasantly)\u2014We'r e going to divide you.\u2014\u2018Punch.ty to make the preparation more thorough in the secondary schools.This is especially necessary in the study of foreign languages.Latin is now a compulsory subject for public school teachers\u2019 certificates, but candidates have not yet learned that this language cannot be acquired in any useful way by a few months of study.Some years ago the matriculation examination was divided into two parts, the first being made to include British history, arithmetic, English grammar and physics, while the second comprised Latin, Greek, ancient history, English composition and literature, algebra, geometry, and chemistry.The expediency of adding to the first part an elementary examination in Latin, partly with a view to lightening the second part, but mainly for the purpose of compelling the earlier study of Latin in the schools, was seriously considered, but the proposal was finally held over for this year to enable the Senate to ascertain more definitely the views of the Education De partment and also the opinions of the teachers of secondary echools.The general verdict on the new matrienlation programme is likely to be favorable, not the less so because all premium on the study -of Greek, as set off against modern langrages, has now been removed, while the position of physical science has been rather improved than otherwise.The Senate of the Provincial University at this week\u2019s meeting took another important step in passing through its first stage a statute which proposes to establish LOCAL EXAMINATIONS IN MUSIC throughout the province.This was done at the instance of the recently organized association of teachers of music, and this association was in turn prompted by the persistent attempts that have been made to introduce here the examinations of the English Joint Board, representing the great musical societies.The Ontario musicians have of their own motion announced their purpose to hold no local examinations, and have applied to thé University of Toronto to conduct them, If this arrangement is carried out_ jin time such examinations will be held ig different parts of Ontario in 1900, and meanwhile syllabi of selections, from which pieces for practical tests are to be chosen will be published for the guidance of both teachers and examiners.The university has had for a number of years a musical degree course in its academic announcement.The proposed local examinations, if instituted, will have a different aim and a less ambitious scope.The scheme at present outlined is to have three examinations in the series, to be known as primary, junior, and senior, respectively, and to make them chiefly practical both vocally and instrumentally, while prescribing for each a suitable amount of the theory and history of music.The general features of the system will be based largely on those of local musical examinations in England.Already there are unmistakable indications of the popularity of the projected examinations, which will enable music teachers who have been hitherto isolated, to apply to their own work a common standard, and will enable pupils who have hitherto been forced to geek patronage on their own recogniz- ances to obtain certificates of artistic and scientific proficiency.It is confidently expected -that such a system will give an impulse to musical study that will be felt in every part of the province.NRK INE Coe | We SIN WHA cu, A 4 iJ D ms 8 i ] emo ee A) _ WW, 777777 TRL MR.CECIL RHODES SPEAKING AT THE MEETINC OF THE BRITISH SOUTH AFRICAN COMPANY.'

however, decided to build up the line to the limite of their territory and he had no doubt they could get the money.While a neighboring state to Rhodesia had been for two vears vainly trying to borrow two millions, the Chartered Company had within the mame time raised nearly ten millions.Mr.Rhodes\u2019s proposals were declared to be unanimously approved, SATURDAY, MAY 20, 1899.MATTERS MUSICAL,

masters.The Anglo-Saxon and Teuton are in the lead among piano cultivators.» * » A delightful little anecdote is going the rounds, of an incident that took place on one of Mme.Patti's latest tours through the United States.It is to the effect that the celebrated prima donna once gave a concert to an audience of .one, and that one was a little, twelve-year-old girl: \u2018In her room at the hotel one day, Mme.Patti was distressed to hear a child crying somewhere near.As the pitiful sobbing increased the gentle singer's tender heart was touched, and she went in search of the sufferer, and finally found her curled up on a couch with her face in a pillow weeping bitterly.\u201cWhat is the matter, my little one?she asked, kindly.\u2018Oh,\u2019 sobbed the little girl, my memma had two tickets for a concert this afternoon, and she promised to take me to hear Patti sing, but a friend of hers came to visit us, so she has taken her, and I had to stay at home, when I do so love music!\u2019 and the sobs broke out afresh.\u2018Well, sdid Mme.Patti, touching the flushed face with her cool hand, \u2018you have cried till no doubt your head aches sadly; now if you will try to go to sleep and forget all your troubles, I will aing to you.I can sing a little,\u201d she added, with a merry \u2018smile, seating herself at the piano.Then for an hour such a flood of entrancing melody poured forth ag the walls of that little room had never echoed before and never would again, while an astonished child listened enraptured, and an impatient audience waited and wondered why their sweet singer did not come.It was not until the next day, when a box of bon-bons arrived for the little girl, who never regretted the concert her mamma had feiled to take her to, that the identity of the guest who had comforted her so sweetly became known through a tiny card, tucked away among the chocolate creams, that bore this legend: \u2018With love from Adelina Patti to the little girl she sang to sleep yesterday.\u2019 * * + \u2018When Joachim passes away\u2014a sad day which, we all hope, is very distant\u2014 I wonder what will become of his splendid fiddles?He is the fortunate possessor of a number of finely preserved \u2018Strads,\u2019 one of which (the \u2018Red Strad\u2019 used by Halir in his American tour, two years ago) was presented to him just ten years ago by a number of his London admirers.The sum paid for this instrument was, I believe, 36,250.I re member that, at one time (1880) Joachim grew very much dissatisfied with this fiddle.He was constantly changing the bridge and sound-post; and for a brief period, any number of experiments were made under the supervision of the deceased fiddle-maker, Riechers.This particular instrument is, in my opinion, one of the noblest specimens of Stradivari\u2019s craft in existence.Physically and tonally it is a delight to the connoisseur.And it is in such good condition that, if well-kept, it ought still to be a magnificent instrument one hundred years from now.'\u2014George Lehmann, in \u2018Musical America.\u2019 The achievements of the piano student are often limited by the size of the hand and one with a small span is severely encumbered.A music teacher, recogni.ing that this shortcoming was present in many persons, has undertaken a scheme for stretching the hand just as one would stretch a glove.He is Frederick L.Crane, of Malden, Mase., and he has recently patented the device by which he means to do this.This device consists of a long rod threaded for its entire length.At one end is a block firmly fastened with a \u2018finger-rest\u2019 made of braid, or similar material, fastened to it.Another block, similarly provided, is movable along the threaded rod.and after the fingers have been inserted in the rest they may be drawn apart and held in this position any length of time by the separation of the blocks, which is accomplished by turning a handie mounted on the rod.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 A MASTER OF THE 3IBLE.\u201cThe Mastery of the English Bible\u2019 is a task which the Rev.James Gray, D.D., of Boston, a rector of the Feform- ed Episcopal Church, assigned himself about a dozen years ago.He turned temporarily from the reading of the Bible in the Hebrew and the Greek, because it was the work of a life-time to translate the bible, and for his purposes, personally and professionally, he needed to do quicker and more effective work.The bible\u2014the English bible\u2014became his one book, which he read and re-read,until, part by part, and

bis ¢x- perience into a lecture and delivered it usually to interdencminational audiences, which almost spontaneously formed \u2018bible classes,\u201d not of the traditional type in Sunday-schools, but for the synthetic study Uf the bible, a method which he defined as the study of the bible as a whole, and each book as a whole and in its relation to the other books.Simple as the method is, it is unique, end, in the ways in which he hea developed it, is original.There is no hible-teacher of large classes pursuing the synthetic method rigidly and perwistently in different cities in the United States other than himself, although he has stimulated others to follow his example.The work has sought him more than he has sought it.Boston, Springfield, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Albany and Montreal are cities that have sought the explanation and introduction of his system.He has been invited to London for the same objects.Professor Wendell Barrett, of Hervard College, responding to a letter inquiring es to bis recent assignment of the English bible to his students for continuous reading, says that there has been no master in English literature during the last three centuries who has not been a maiter of the English bible.Ruskin eaid that he got his \u2018style\u2019 from the bible and Carlyle.Dr.Gray says that he finds superabundant evidence of the transforming power of the master of the English bible over the lives of individuals, churches, and communities.\u2014\u2018 Leslie's Weekly.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 The district around Dinard, in Brittany, is infested with kangaroos.Originally there were only some half-dozen of the animals, which came from Australia in the train of an American gentleman of a zoological turn of mind, who purchased an estate in the neighborhood.They have multiplied so rapidly that kangaroo hunts are being organized to get rid of them.EE THE DAILY WITNESS is printed sod published at .the * Witness\u2019 Building, at the
