by Sir Sand- ford Fleming & Lu Canadian Pacific line to run t dues discarded in favor of the nt line, à hundred and \u2018fétz miles fi south.Sir Sandford still considers that the Yéllowhead Pass is the best, being fifteen hundred feet lower, and having only one summit to cross instead of two.The line he favor- \u2018ed: ran down the Thompson five, joining the Fraser \u2018and the present Canadian Pacific Railwag line at Kamloops.There was, however, a line surveyed from the Yellowhead Pass to Bute Inlet and Victoria.\u2018This was considered inferior to the Vancouver line, but subsidies, such as the British Columbia Government seems ready to heap upon any line connecting Victoria with the rest of the world, might easily make it \u2018worth building.Aside from subsidies, however, the Peace river to Port Bimp- son line seems to have the advantage.It would open up the Peace river valley, a fertile region of temperate climate, with four hundred miles of river navigable for large steamboats, and would probably become the principal route for sending supplies to the Klondike.The line from Edmonton to Port Simpson was surveyed recently by the Department of Railways and Canals, and its cost was estimated at about tiventy-three millions.The Grand Trunk authorities profess to bear no ill-wil¥ to the Trane-Canada, and remark that there is room for three or four railways in the great west, but it can easily be seen that they have fo some extent cut the ground from under the promoters of that line, which would have to meet Grand Trunk eompetition everywhere west of James's Bay.The the promoters of that line, which would have no occasion to grieve if they get the land and money subsidies that they expect, as we have shown that the building of the line to James's Bay will net them a handsome profit.The people of Quebec city and their allies of the Maritime Provinces are violently opposed to the Grand Trunk scheme, whil\u20ac those of Ontario favor it because it runs so much through their province.The westerners are apparently divided in their opinions.They want another railway, but not at the «xpense of a land grant; they would prefer a government railway.That is, they do not wish to pay for a railway themselves, but would like one built and run at the expense of the (country CHILD LABOR.CHild: labor \u2018in the textile factories of Germany, which is practically ehild slav- erf} has aroused public attention in that country.It is stated that more than hundred thousand little ones, most of hom are, under ten years of age, are employed in manufacturing.They are described as puny, delicate little old men and women, sitting all day in a vitiated atmosphere for a few pence, and never knowing what it is to play and be chi dren.Their food consists of bread add potatoes, and, as might be expected, they die off fast.The same conditions exist r.As itis.ss the French River: Jin the cotton mills of the Southern States, where every attempt to regulate this inhuman system has beep met wih determined opposition by those interested in its continuance.The mill-owners insist that they must have cheap labor to enable them to compete in the markets of the world, but nations that permit this slaughter of the innocents are paying a terrible price for the doubtful advantage which comes from supplying other countries with cheap cotton.When competition in manufacturing reaches the stage where children are taken from school and gathered from the country to tend machines as soon as they are able to handle the threads, it ceases to be a paying industry for the country, even though the investors may be satisfied with their dividends.That a generation should grow up in Germany uneducated would be a notable retrogression, and would rob that country of its chief advantage in the economic struggle.There is, of course, no possibility of any such retrogression in the Southern States, for it would be difficult for the poor whites of that region to retrograde.The desire to send their children to factories hos even been defended as exhibiting a rudimentary desire for better things for them.To draw the rural white race in the South, however, into a servitude far more vitally exhausting than the cut- door work of the cotton fields would be practically to hand that country over to the blacks.Peoples which support themselves by ghild labor will in another generation find themselves chained to machines under taskmasters who will give them no hope of escape.In the State Legislature of Georgia an effort has been made to check the evil by the introduction of a bill which forbids the employment of children under twelve years of age in factories.This is possibly equivalent to a higher age limit farther north, but it is significant of the supineness of the lower classes in the South that no other state legislature in the South has moved in the matter.GERMAN CONSTITUTIONALISM.The German chancellor has forced his tariff through parliament without debate.It is a considerably more drastic tariff than the government wanted.Its pase age was the result of an -agreement between the Emperor\u2019s government and the parliamentary majority, composed of the two most reactionary elements in the country, the Roman Catholic clergy and the land-owners.As far as the suppression of paxliamen tary debate is concerned the country in the.main.rather approves of it, seeing that there was no question as to which side had the majority, and the socialists, who are in the van of the opposing forces, were reduced to the use of all sorts of obstructive thc- ties, endless talk against time, countless divisions and the invocation of every dilatory form of procedure being added to invective and denunciation of a danger ous and undignified sort.Of all this the country as a whole is heartily tired, and it was quite ready to say that, it what used to be derided by French kings as government by debating club had come to this, the sooner debate was cut short the better.But in the grievance that has underlain these obstructive tactios there is no such exhausted acq jesçence, Rather will that grievanes be rendered the more explosive.by being prevented from sputtering.Parliamentary talk and tactics have been a sort of safety valve for the rapidly generating steam of the disaffected labor element; locking the safety valve is a poor way of reducing the steam pressure.The grievance is that at the election which returned the present Reichstag, though the Sccialists polled three votes \u2018to two polled by the Conservativ the latter have nevertheless nearly Fa many members in the House.extent of the suffrage, the German Sor Jace has certaifily no eause to compl The suffrage is universal, and the thor mous majority of radiéal voters is due to this fact.But this advantage of mum- bers is rendered nugatory by the fact that there is no nuinerical equality in the constituencies.The principal social phenomenon of the last half century bas been the comparatively rapid growth of cities.In all eountries, as\u2019a consequence, cities are generally underrepresented on the basis of representation\u2019 by population.In Germany this under-represen- tation is extreme.The fact that the Socialist majority is constantly growing is sprehding consternation throughout the country.Not only do the conser# vative @lasses acquiesce in the suppres sion of the privilege of parliamentary debate, but they would greatly rejoice in the withdrawal of the sulfgage from what they regard as the dangerous classes.The Emperor himself has ominously said that he does not wish for the German people fftedem ta govern badly.It cannot be saiied that the views held by the, aggressive Socialists are dangerous and subversive of the whole social system.In many cases they are avowedly anarchistic, aithough socialism proposes to itself an absolyte despotism rather than anarchy.But such \u201cextiyme \u201cay \u201cfnpossihle ve 1 probably only to the farg because the gd iii # i E Ÿ at it pri 4 1 4 it \u2018 PIERRE.S138) | PL Le FE UT ?Fr $ i;

first all made a motion that the resolution adopted at the meeting, that the present ho derh of Stanley cup be probi- » from playing for it until after the ; \u2018close of the seasom, be

opening paragraph, and he gave his reasons for so doing.He smong other thisgs that if the price were reduced, the attitude of Winnipeg Club towards the league soon become apparent, for then they have to pay their own expenses,and there were grave doubts in his mind as to whether they were out for sport or money.Mr.McRobie was not in favor of letting cup go back by default, but thought thas

Amateur Hockey League remains as strong for another eleven months as it is at the present time within the inner circles of the senior leagué, it will simply be a matter of a unänimous vote at the next annual meeting .of the C.A.H.L., &nd the Cornwell-Club wifi! be itted: This is th) prevætiing opinion of.at least a majority of the élubs within the league, and there is no reason but to believe that

and this.will.be brought about by forming & six club-citcuit,- aad.by so doing the regular league season\u2019 will be mare or less extended into Mare Match, which it 1s considered LOA be tn\u2019 the

at least a majority of them, are beginning to realize that a closed door policy is not exactly in the best interests of the grme, especially in this part of Canada.At the special meeting of the.senior hoc- Key league, held at the \u2018Windsor Hotel, last evening, the question of extending the circuit next yaar by the adiissi n of the Cornwall Ciub was hinted at by Mr.Dixon, of Ottawa, and while

the senior league.He failed to see why it should be retised, and he could say that the Ottawa Ctub was again ready to support the application of + Factory Town feople.The C.A.H.L:, he thought, was in duty beund bo promote the interests of heckey, in Eastery- Canada, and the \u2018time Has now arrived when a change in policy must take place.The C.A.H.L.must look after its own interests in the world of hockey, and in doing so, it must see in future that all deservin clubs for senior honors receive due consideration, Speaking of the action of the geting last evening in arrivicg at the decision

quite enthusiastic over its prospects, as he feit certaip \u2018the cham- plonship would land at the Capital qn March the first next.Mr.Dixon was apparently quite happy over the result of the league meeting heid last evening.Mesers.Harry Trihey, Chirles Chitty, F.McRoble and.E.B.Rattray, the \u2018remsin- ing delegates to the\u2019 méeting, refused.to make any statement as regards .final a

Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational churches in Canada?To begin with, Î reply, à l\u2019Ecossaise, \u2018What is the raison d\u2019etre of the suggestion?I presume that the claims of the great North-West, so rapidly filling up, for provision of the means of public worship, and: the necessities of our large cities for pastoral supervision, are at the bottom of the proposals for united action amon, the churches in question.As a nationa Scottish churchman I tan imagine no other method as likely to be successful in \u2018the creditable solution of these prob- ems.1.The claims of the North-West must be recognized to the full, and faced earnestly and strenuously, by all \u2018the churches.Obviously, this can only be done well hy a proper organization of orces.The-work is great and the forces available to execute it must be judiciously husbanded.Anything lke unorganized effort on church lines, whereby agencies may overlap-and a species of church tooting be introduced, must be highly ob- | jectionable from every point of view.j = | Overlapping will mean weakness for the Christian ministry; but who cannot ac- ch urches, and tooting will mdan ruin to igious consciousness many of le.There must, therefore, be thoroughly well \u2018organized territoria work, which shall be rigidly detailed and redly and honorably mamntained.The religious good of the people must be the concern, and a territorial arrangement is\u2019 the essential in any plan of combined action.2.Every argument in favor of organized action in the North-West applies with like aptitude to the large cities as well.Lapsing from church connection through indifference arising from the conditions of city life is due in great measure to the Jack of territorial supervision, With the \u2018available church forces in Montreal, for example, it should be impossible, if these forces were properly organized, for a single professing Chris tian to enter the city without at once coming under pastoral supervision.How much.such parochial oversight should mean in the case of the deserving poor, the unfortunate, and notably the young, every one can understand.t as things are at present little can be done to meet the situation, and that little badly.I have long felt that right here lies a re- msibility from which none of our churches can claim exemption.Organization on the territorial system is the only practical solution of the problem.3.For these two great p ses executive union is a crying necessity, and the lack of it is sure to become a growin, scandal to religion.We have all been Aoo long standing on our eclesiastical mole-hills, - either complacently congratu- dating ourselves how very good we are and superior, or testifying in more or bsg strident tones that we have a spe- \u2018dial deposit of the truth which is denied to-others.And, all the while, a great \u2018reaponsibilit is lying nt our doors al- \u2018most unheeded, and the spiritual tone of thé, whole community 1s suffering.4.Organic union is a problem much mare t to solve union\u201d the urgency of the work has already solved the problem, and with co operation in work the \u2018other side of the problem qvil¥ solve \u2018itself.can wait.Creeds and canons, traditions and: theories, rites and ritual, will in the future, as in the past, afford ample\u2019 material for discussion among minds of a certain cast, who believe that the kingdom of God comes only by observation.But in the crucible of the zeäl of the \u2018church that is to be\u2019 all such questions will be lost in the supreme concern\u2014the common good of seaièty\u2014and the exalted glory of him who came to be among men as one that serveth, There can be no basis of organic union found in the past.The attempt Ras.dee divers manners and at ratés times.But the result has always bee failure.The future alone has hope for those.who desire to see that genuine religious union for which our Lord prayed and without which there can be no union.Towards that magnificent ideal I believe all the Christian churches are steadily making.I bave seen some remarkable examples of advanced union in my thirty years\u2019 ministry, and I hope to see the good work proceed with accelerated speed in the days to come.Already many in all the churches are wondering why the churches ae such ever spent their strength in strife and division over de- \u201cIn the wise words of a recent editorial in the New York \u2018Churchman\u2019: tails of church order or problems of philosophy which do not concern the salva- ica 01 CAMEL TE

country have the ostensible inspiring influence\u2018 in the proposal, and it speaks volumes for the clear-sighted vis- \u2018ion and chivalrous fidelity to the Master of these churches that they are prepared to put country above sect and unselfishly gird themselves to go forward in the path to which the Master points to-day, as he bas pointed so often in vain in ati the Christian ages.1 am rejoiced above measure that he ig not pointin to-day in vain to the churches o Canada.THE REV.JAMES FLECK, KNOX \"PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.Worthy of Dean Swift was the satiri- ell remark of the Marquis Carracciolt, that \u2018the English were a strange people \u2014they had sixty different religious sects, and only one sauce.To In a London drawing-room a Christian gentleman was épprogched by a man who had no love for Christianity.With a sarcastic smile the man of fashion said, \u2018I\u2019ve been wondering how you Christians can expect us rafionals to accept your doctrines when you disagree so ludicrous ly among yourselves.[ see here tonight English Churchmen~\u2014High, Broad and Low, a Roman Catholic, a Greek Catholic, a Presbyterian, a Wesleyan, a Baptist, a Congrégationalist, an Irving | ite, and a Quaker.Whére and what 1s truth?\u2018With our host's permission,\u2019 he replied, \u2018I will answer Pilate\u2019s question by an experiment.\u2019 Permission granted, he said: \u2018Gentlemen, I appeal to you all in the cause \u2018of our common Christianity, and 1 solemnly call upon those whe believe that Jesus Christ was the son of God and son of ary, and that he came into the world, ahd was made flesh, was crucified to save sinners, and that he rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, ever liveth to make intercession for us, and will come again at the end of the world to judge the quick and the dead.I ask you to kneel dnd repeat with.xe the prayer which he has taught us.\u201d - All knelt but ene.14 ; Greater, incomparably greater, broader, deeper are the truths upon which Christians generally are agreed thän- the points, most of them practically trifling, ou which they differ.Too much may\u2018be made, has been made, of our differences: All are not sectaries who belong to sects.Moreover, something, yea, much, may.be said on bebalf of denominationalism.It hae crystallized and made distinct and clear teaching that otherwise might have remained nebulous.If it has provoked the spirit of -controversy, it must get credit also for engendering friendly '#i- valries that have borne d fruit, and have done the world spledid service.sus Nevertheless, this work being now done, all good men must rejoiée in :the pres ent rapprochement among the churches.The farther uv the hill we climb, the nearer we come to the throne, and the closer we come to oue another.\u201cThe at mosphere is clearer.We see and know one another better.The wost hopeful feature of the pres ent movement towards unions is its spontaneity.It has not been gotten up.«it has arisen.It has not been thrust.upon the churches by conferences, synods or assemblies.It is a genuine hunger of the heart seeking a reconciliation and restoration of the broken brotherhood; of God\u2019s redeemed family, something which\u2019 ought to be the first fruits, instead of being a belated product of Christignity.Moreover, it is 8 movement among the people.Like all true and , thoroughgoing reformation work it has its nse among the rank and file, not the eler- ics.And the danger is that if ecclesiastics interfere prominently or prema: turely, its growth may be arrested \u2018before its end has been attained.Already our peoples can meet and work and worship in one another\u2019s churches, pray- er-meetings, evangelical alliances, Bible societies, and Keswick gatherings.Kpis- copalian, Methodist, ngregationalist, : Presbyterian can marry and inter4#parry and do so freely; and they pass without a wrench from denomination to denomination.Let them alone, let this natural intermingling of the branches go on, and soon the great tree would Tecover its symmetry, and the fowls of the air that now fly shy of it would want to lodge on its leafy shade.\"Better still, let the process be encouraged, imitated, by the leaders making more and more of our agreements; and fees and Jess of our disagreements, and the wounds in the body of Christ would be healed.Of old, it was his executioners and persecutors by whom the wounds were made, \u2018They pierced my hands and my feet.\u201d Later 1t was in the house of his friends he was wounded.Now, happily, the healing process ifas.begun.The wounds are being \u2018bound up and mollified.with ointment\u2019 and there will by and by be a perfect soundness.\u201d Some churches have already demonstrated the practicability of union with vast increase of prestige and power thereby.Let the mutual attractiveness and attraction continue, will come in due time.; One other feature of the movement is its spirituality.We things that lie deep down out of sight {hére is already substantial unity.Why should it not also appear on the surface?Oné and all rooted and grounded in Christ\u2014the growth there \u2018vigorgue and healthy, in course of time that abgve ground will match it, and outgrow and overtop the decdying stakes and fences that Popes and Parliaments and Councils have erected to keep the different.parts of the flock from feeding in one another\u2019s pastures.7 the * cohesion And what in meantime hindars?: Chiefly forms of government, modes of administering the sacraments, and _ the.wor: bg mere wrappings and trappings of ship.: tion of the world ar premote the progress] holding brethren apart who otherwise would together?Accepting the great- \u2018er_verities, the title and mint and cum- min should not be an insuperable obstacle.\u2018For instance, between Methodists and Presbyterians, could a three or four year term not be stretched, say, twenty-five or fifty percent?.Would that be a wacrifice of a scriptural principle?Anil the Presbyterian life-pastorate\u2014would rot a renewal of the call, say, once in seven years, be a testimonial, and a strength to the true minister belweén whom and his people the tie was vital and strong; and where it was not strong or real, would it not be a blessed, and easy, and timely relief?So then, I would say, let the churches that are nearest to one another in doctrine and practice, and methods of work and form of worship, go on cultivating the Christian courtesies, and after a few jears of honest, kindly courtship we may ve to celebrate n wedding.THE REV.A.J.MOWATT, ERSKINE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.Yes, I ought to be in favor of union.I was baptized in infancy by a Church of England clergyman, although my par- .ents were good Presbyterians, there being no minister of their own denomina- \u2018tion within reach, and I have never thought it necessary to be rebaptized.I am t erefore, I suppose, a baptizéd mem- \u2018ber of the Church of England, although \u2018brought up a Presbyterian, and honored with a place in the membership and ministry of that Church.And, then, it has been my privilege, and I count it \u201880, to have seen an ed in three happy Presbyetrian unions.All this ought to go far towards predisposing me Nn favor of, and preparing me for a still \u2018larger, union of the churches, if such an event were anywhere in s\u2018ght.And let me say this, also, and 1 am happy to be able to say it, that during a somewhat extended ministry, 1 have enjoyed the happiest fraternal relations wita lrethren of other denominations more especially \u201cMethodists, Congregationalists, and Baptists, exchanging pulpits with them, and taking part with them in union evangelistic services.So far as I can see, union with our Anglican and Baptist brethren cannot be said to be in sight.But as regards Methodists and Congregationalists, every new year seems to be bringing us nearer them, and them to us.Let, however, the tide \u2018of fuller blessing rise higher and higher, and flow in upon us all, and sooner than we know the barriers of sand now keeping us apart will be swept away, and we will find that we are al] one in him who is Lord of all.* REV.C.A.SYKES, B.D., ST.JAMES METHODIST CHURCH.It must be an inexpressible delight to all who labor and pray for.the speedy coming of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ to read such expressiong of opinion on the subject of church union as were given in the \u2018Witness\u2019 of Saturday last by such eminent and representative men, and the \u2018Witness\u2019 deserves much, sugely, for thus marking the progress we are making toward that destrable end.And what a, distance we have come in the past ten or fifteen years! .Even down to that time prejudiced misrepresentations of each other's doctrinal and \u201ceccle- Kastical positions too often characterized the different denominations.We are now far \u2018past the time wherein it would be possible to believe that the Holy Spirit would any more use to spiritual ification the religious public debates, newspaper dontroversies and pulpit harangues adopted in those times in defence lof denominational peculiarities.Such would not be tolerated to-day.Nay, more, we are not permitted even to remain in wilful ignorance of the other churches\u2019 \u2018positions and views; we find ourselves earnestly and impartially seeking to understand and appreciate them, until indiffereace in regard to these things becomes an ancient, but not an 1 honorable, distinction.In my opinion, based on whatever association have had with the better pee le of the different churches, I am ld to say that even what is termed a liberal education is the doom of denom- inationalism.Enlightened public opinion, the great common sense of the people, is behind the movement for union of the Cliristian churches.\u2018The ways of men are narrow, But the gate of heaven is wide gives expression to the religious thought of the day, and becaiise of the illogical and unjustifiable nature of many of our unfortunate man-made divisions, they are bound to dwindle and die under the purer, stronger and more cultured light of our age.By sheer:silent neglect of our non-essential differences, and a growing appreciation of what each is doing, we are swiftly coming to union of method as well as to unity of spirit.To me, personally may I say, born and brought up a Presbyterian, but now a Methodist, it is a peculiar pleasure to see the rapprochement of these great bodies, and I think they are meeting well nigh halfway.THE REV.DR.WILLIAMS.The deep and profound increage in the \u2018interests of Christ's Kingdom \u2018and all that pertains to its welfare is one of the \u2018features which mark the opening of this mew century.| The work of Christiartizing the heathen and supplying the gospel to the néw settlements of our great country now en- groeses the attention of all evangelical churches.Missionaries to the new set- tlemente where gospel ordinances are but seldom if ever furnished, find that while many in these new districts are perishing from lack of knowledge, in more favored situations three or Jour preachers are ; laiming the same gospel truth, ministering to a people all of w! could be served equally well by any one of the many preachers among them.One \u2018of the results of this overlapping of work ig an earnest cry to the churches for some amicable adjustment of the work 80 that those now destitute of the gospel could have this great blessing given hem.Miny : who\u2019 have studied the problem ask, \u2018 Why cannot the evangelical churches who hold the same views on the essential truths of Christianity devise some method by which the forces \u2018of these churches can be used to the much greater advantage of every church \u2018and infinitely .ter advantage to ithe Kingdom of Christ.\u2019 > It is said witK a great amount of truth feel that in.the] proc P .Are these worth the sacrifices they.causing, and the tremendous lossy that the great Protestant churches of our Dominion are alrendv agreed as to Lthe character of the truths to be - ed as necessary to the salvation of the squls of men.The differences now are chiefly in the modes of church government, and when these are \u2018carefully examined, weighed and measured accurate ly, it will be found that a large proportion of the differences of government consists in the names given the church courts, and their officials, while the practica workings are substantially the same.Premature organic union would be a grievous mistake, but are not those step all along the line.uggestions of this character are often dangerous to him who makes them, yet I venture to ask if an eement could not be reached to constitute a parliament composed of equal numbers of ministers and laymen from all the churches entering into the compact on the basis of tain prerogatives should attach and certain duties belong.Among these let it be in the power of this parliament to declare the attitude of these churches as a unit in all the great moral and religious questions with which these churches have to deal.For example, prohibition, Sabbath observance, public education and such others as would naturally suggest themselves, and the interests of our country demands.this step be taken one cannot foreteil how soon the advantages resulting from it would convince the churches that a more intimate and closer union even to the formation of ong great united Protestant Church of Canada, is demanded in the interests of Christianity.We have no prophet among us who can unfold to us the astounding results of such a combination of the Christian forces 0 our land.It would be an example not only to Christendom, but to the world.It would be an evangel proclaiming peace and harmony in every community and would form a tie of universal brotherhood such as our -blessed Master had in mind when he said, \u2018 All ye are brethren.\u2019 Let us pray thdat God may so direct and guide us that this strong public sentiment in favor of Christian unity may result in the union of all Christ\u2019s followers in such a practical fellowship as wil] hasten the perfect establishment of our Redeemer\u2019s Kingdom.PRINCIPAL MAGGS.The Rev.Principal Maggs, of the Wesleyan Theological College, when seen, said: \u2014 I feel great hesitation in speaking on the subject of Church Union in Canada.I am not in the pastorate, my ecclesiastical connections are with England, and I have been out in this country either too short or too long a time; too long for the infallibil: ity of the man that solves all the problems of the Dominion in a journey to the Pacific coast and back, occupying a month, too short for the certainty that comes from the residence of a lifetime.But in thinking upon this great matter, my thoughts fall into the following grooves: (1) Would the work of evenagelizing Canada be better done?No doubt under the present conditions there is much needless multiplication of agencies.But most of this, if not all, could be gotirid of by a wise co-operation, which in the present condition is more feasible thas organic union.And the residuum of loss will be met by the healthful emulation that might be changed into lethargy \u2018in the weighty body of a single organization.(2) It may be contended that\u201d formal union would more easily impress the world as to the unity of Christians.No doubt even the sentimental reason has a plate.But I am not convinced that the true oneness would not be as visible and as well emphasized by & wise co-operation as by mere absorption.It may, even more, be better asserted in a co-operation that was manifested for 365 days each year than in a single act that made a sensation ih the world and might be followed by the petty questions that sometimes loom large in ecclesiastionl politics.Whatever may be the case with the eyes of the world, I am sure the Head of the Church will distinguish between alliances that are more formal and less real and those which are more informal but none the less real.(3) I want to be convinced that the separate organizations do not present the varieties of human thought and experience the variety that meets the needs.and idiosyncrasies of men.The fact that churches have something that is historic suggests that they were intended to play some distinct part on the stage of religious life.I am not sure that personally I should feel greatly helped by an ecclesiastical amalgam.(4) Have fhe churches chiefly in view such a true conception of what is involved in the title \u2018Church\u2019 as to venture upon the great experiment?Are we, prepared to give that breadth of view and of practice in things indifferent that a Church of Christ, since it may claim The right to unchurch a man and so cut him off from outward communion with Christ, ought to grant?I.feel thal in Methodism we have been very slow to get free from the older position of a private religious \u2018society\u2019 with liberty to make its own rules tothe idea of a church that must found: upon the limitations of the Gospel only.The Anglican Church may be one in outward organization partly because it gives a liberty in thought and practice that other churches regard as oxcessive.But if these will be one they must be prepared to grant a liberty, which if not as wide must be after the same pattern.In the new organization will the Methodist surrender his Arminianism or the Presbyterian his \u2018Calvinism?Or must: the preacher have liberty to preach either, and must the pew be ready to respond to either?What are the views allow-' able in the matter of the Holy Communion?Are we to accept as equally welcome in any pulpit of the United \u2018Church the infra-Zwinglianism generally associated with Congregationalism.the more sacramentarian teaching derived from Calvin or the phase of churches even now ripe for a forward Eucharistic thought found in Hooker that consists with Methodist standards?! It will be disastrous for {he non-Fpiscopal churches of Canada tn become one body till they have solveq the question of their policy as to the inclusion of varieties of creed and diversities of practice in things ind! ferent.My judgment is that to-day the ques tion is not ripe for settlement, ani \u2018that its settlement by union or ince, portation may not be the bes; settlement even when the time comes.Meanwhile there is 34 large field of activity in which pra.tically all the advantages of organ.union can be gained by co-operatiun without running risks that exist in a church membership, to \u201cwhich court cer-{ More formal union.WEEK OF PRAYER Observance will Begin To-morrow all Over the World.The week Jan.4 to 11 will be observed as the annual week of prayer all over the world.Arrangements have Leen made for holding union services in Montreal churches in many parts of the (uy similar to the plan of last year.The central district meets in the lec iture hall of Crescent Street Presbyterian st | Church on Monday, Tuesday and Thurs diy and in the American Presbyterian Church on Friday evening, when a mass meeting will be held in which the other districts will also join.There are four churches in the southwest district in which union services will be held, as under :\u2014Monday evening 1» Calvin Presbyterian\u201d Church; topic, \u2018Christ as a teacher.\u2019 Tuesday evening in the West End Methodist Church; topic, \u2018Christ as the example\u2019 Thursday evening in Calvary Congregational Church; topic, \u2018Christ as the source of supply.\u2019 \u2018riday evening in Mountain Street Methodist Church; topic, \u2018Christ as the Saviour.\u2019 In Point St.Charles arrangements have been made for all the churches to unite on Monday evening in the Congre- ational Church, when the Rev.E.A.lackenzie will speak on \u2018The universal ity of sin.\u201d On Tuesday the union gathering will take place in the Baptist Church, when the Rev.W.R.Harvey will speak on \u2018The tyranny of sin.\u2019 On Thursday evening all will assemble in Centenary Methodist Church.The Rev.J.R.Webb will address the gathering, his subject being \u2018The punishment of sin.\u201d On Friday evening the meeting will be held «in St.Matthew\u2019s Church.The Rev.David Winter will speak on \u2018Salvation from sin.\u2019 The group of churches situated in all that part of the city east of Bleury street and Park avenue will unite on Wednesday night in St.Martin\u2019s Church, and on Thursday night in Taylor Presbyterian Church, all services to commence at 8 o'clock.: The French Protestant churches will hold two union services.first will take «place ' in the First Methodist urch,!

there was nothing else to do, though the terrible white darkness of the snow seemed to shut us in, and deadened the sound of our voices ro that our shouts were almost inaudible.We followed the track by touch, taking turns to feel for it with e hands.After a while we came to a place where the path divided, and to our dismay found trhcks leading both ways, We examined the tracks very carefully, almost freezing our hands in the process, and found that on one path there were tracks both ways, y While on the other track they were much fresher, and only went one way\u2014for- ward.We followed faster now, for we Knew that we bad caught up a good desl on him.Then suddenly Bill, who was ahead, stumbled and fell over something.He wled bts opinion of the ark ranger for allowing fallen trees to ie in the paths, and went on.We all stepped over it except Pete, who step- ed on it and fell over.\u2018The thin slipped under me,\u2019 he said.Then suddenly, \u2018It\u2019s Jim! It was Jim, lyin face down in the snow, where he ha tripped over a branch and lain, without strength to get up.He was uncon: ecious when we found him, and we had to pound him a good deal before he would wake up enough to keep his feet mo while we half dragged, half carried him home.How did we get home?I do not know.For me, the whole performance is a nightmare, growing more and more confused and desperate until we came out on the road, and heard the Jingle of sleigh-bells.It was a habitant driving home from the city, but we per suaded him with sundry pieces of silver to turn back, and take us home.Jim was much better the next morning, and was able to recount his adventures.He had had several slides, and then had started along the path to meet us, as had arranged.Confused by the snow, he took the wrong path, and did not find it out until he had walked several miles.Then, deciding thaf he was going the wrong way, he had turned back, reached the division of the path, taken the other branch, and, trying to run, had fallen and gone to sleep.here, Jim,\u201d } said to him when we were alone, \u2018do you think it's proper to do this sort of thing?speak of your family\u2019s feelings, do you t ink it\u2019s right to risk you fe fhis way?Yop've come out of it safe this time t jast süppose we hadn\u2019t found you?You mow, your life's not your own, and it seems to me that it isn\u2019t quite the right thing to throw it awa; \u2018tar sport.ou\u2019re careful h about other people\u2019s lives; why don't you take some care of your own?t never struck me that way,\u2019 he said, \u2018but you're right.m now on I'm going to take care of my life and health as i they belonged to\u2014some one else.\u2019 e bas.And h IXION C.TOGAPER.Paying for Their Whistle (By Paul Blake, in \u2018 Boy\u2019s Own Paper.) \u2018I say! that\u2019s a funny thing to have banging up in a hall\u2019 remarked little Pym to his cousin Mellor.He pointed \u2018to a metal whistle hanging on the hatstand of Dr.Mellor\u2019s house\u2018in Wimpole street.\u2018 That\u2019s to get cabs with,\u2019 explained Mellor in the tone of superiority which town boys oiten assume towards country cousins.\u2018If you want a four-wheeler you give one long whistle, and two short ones for a hansom.\u2019 Pym couldn\u2019t resist a whistle; ne blew a blast which would have brought bis uncle out of his consulting-room at high speed, had he not happened to be out.\u2018It makes a ghastly row,\u201d sil Metlor; \u2018lucky the pater didn\u2019t hear you.\u2019 What it wants,\u2019 said Pym, with the air of a connoisseur, \u2018is a pea in it.That gives a whistle a lovely sort of shake, like a nightingale.\u2019 \u2018I'll get a pea from the cook,\u2019 said Mellor, always willing to try experiments.The dried bard pea was soop procured and pushed into the air-hole of the whistle.Then Pym blew, but no nightingale note rewarded his efforts.A weird shriek similar to that obtainable from blowing into a key was all that he could produce.: - \u201c1 say !\u2019 cried his cousin, \u2018that\u2019s forty times worse.Let me try!\u2019 But the only result was to bring a protest from his elder sister, ie, Who appeared in the hall ready to go out.\u201cWhat are you boys making that hideous noise for ¥ she asked.\u201cWe're improving the cab whistle,\u201d replied her brother.Carrie disdained to reply.When the front door bad shut behind her the two boys again experimented with the whistle, but with even worss results.The pea became stuck and the sound more excrucistinz.\u201cWe must get it out again,\u2019 said Pym; \u2018it\u2019s too large, \u2018I can\u2019t shake it out,\u2019 said Mellor.Nor could Pym; the pea, which entered the hole with very little persuasion, ; quite declined ta come out.| \u2018Try your knifa,\u2019 suggested , but the suggestion was equally ineffectual; directly they pushed the pea it retreated, and the blade would not follow it sufficiently to persuade it to leave its retreat \u2018I know !\u2019 extlalmed Mellor, at Jast\u2014\u2018 Carrie\u2019s crochet-needle ! we push that in, the won't slip off as it does from this silly old knife.Not to pa Pym jumped at the suggestion: be was | beginning to wonder what his uncle wold say, when he came back.Mellor soon found the work-busket, and in Carrie's absence no difficulty arose about borrowing her property.\u201cLet me baye first try,\u2019 said Mellor.But success did not come at once\u2014the coyness of that pea was phenomenal.Then Pym took it in band.He meant business.He shook the pea to the top\u2019 end, and then made a dig at it hic must have penetrated in 1t\u2014if the aim had been quite straight.Unfortunats- ly it was not; the tip of the needle slip ped off the metal and pierced the top of Pym\u2019s thumb.' He uttered a yell and dropped the whistle, The crochet-needle he could not drop, nor could he pull it out; tha barbed head stopped that.*1 say, what can I do ?\u2019 he asked in dismay.\u2018 Come upstairs; I'll see if I can get.it out,\u2019 replied Mellor.But his amateur surgery was not successful; in fact, Pym soon stopped it, as hurting too much.Suddenly Mellor remembered ! He had heard his father speak of an exactly similar accident.: \u2018I know what to do!\u2019 he exclaimed ; \u2018my father told me.You can\u2019t draw a erochet-needle back, but Jeu can push it forward; then you break off the barb and draw th: needle back.Do see \u201d\u2019 Pym saw, but did not fancy the ope ration at first.However, it seemed that the needle was almost through as it was, so he made up his mind to the momentary pang.\u2018\u2019Twon\u2019t hurt you,\u2019 said Mellor; Tl squeeze your thumb so that you won't feel it; you can push it through yourself.\u2019 Pym set his lips, seized the handle and gave a manful push.There was a sup: pressed yell, but it did not come from im, but from Mellor.\u201cYon idiot! You've pushed it into my thumb now !\u2019 he cried.t was too true\u2014the barb was hidden in the ball of Mellor\u2019s thumb, and the two boys were skewered together like two hearts on an old\u2018fashioned valentine.\u2018I suppose I Pym apologetica \u201cI should think you did !\u2019 replied the other.\u2018What can we do now ?, \u2018 At any rate we\u2019ll have no pushing if, through your thumb,\u2019 said Pym decided: Ir, foreseeing it would have to travel through his as well.\u2018We must get uncle to take it out for us.\u2019 \u2018 But he may not be in for hours.\u2019 you Rushed too hard,\u201d said y.: However, at that moment Dr.Mellor\u2019s |.voice was heard below.\u2018Robert! 1 want you!\u2019 \u2018 We're coming, father.\u2019 \u2018 No, only you,\u201d replied Dr.Mellor.\u2018TI can\u2019t help coming too, uncle; said little Pym.\u2019 .\u201cWhy, what do you mean?What is the matter ?\u201d asked Dr.Mellor, as the.two boys came downstairs gingerly, ha in hand.* The trouble was soon explained and remedied.An icy spray of ether made their flesh almost insensible, then a\u2019 strong pair of nippers cut the n tween the thumbs; the A then withdrawn from Pym\u2019s thumb, ai the barb, which had only just penetrat= ed Mellor\u2019s hand, skilfully cut out.Both boys winced a little, but bore the opm ration bravely.\u2018By the way, where did you get this crochet-needle ?asked Dr.Mellor.© They explained, and the doctor good: naturedly handed them sixpence to get another.\u201c And if you take my advice,\u201d he said, \u2018you'll get it at once, or Carrie will have something to say about your visit to her work-box.\u2019 They followed his suggestion; and finding they could buy a crochet-needle for threepence, they were conscientious enough to expend the balance on a new whistle for the hall.They were agreed that, they had had enough of the old one ! The Sharpshooter (By Capt.W.S.Hawkins, late C.8.A, in Frank Leslie\u2019s Popular Monthly\") \u2014_\u2014\u2014 The following striking episode is taken bodily from the personal narrative of Capt.W.8.Hawkins, C.S.A,, who in the spring of \u201962 was serving as a private soldier under Brig.-Gen.J.B.Magruder.Early in that \u2018ter: rible April, when Gen.McClellan began his \u2018on to Richmond\u2019 peninsular campaign, \u2018Bully Magruder,\u2019 as his men called him, obstinately blocked the: way.It was in the fighting which ensued that the following events took place, which give a of war as the man in it.\u2014The Editor.; There was one piece in the enemy\u2019s battery, so true in its range, with such a spiteful report when discharged, that it was dubbed the \u2018little devil.\u2019 It was a hearty cheer which greeted the explosion of its caisson by a shell from the twenty-four pounder at redoubt No.14.Though relieved of this tormentor, there yet remained one even more annoying in the shape of a shérpshooter entrenched on the other side of the Warwick River, nearer to the Confederate line than any other Yank, andin easy speaking distance, of which he took advantage, to hurl his taunts at the Confederates.He had by some means obtained and transferred to his pit a rocking-cbair, and though the Confederates could see the movements of the top of the chair, as he rocked contentedly, yet so perfect was his concealment that they could catch no.glimpse of the man himself.He commanded the spring at the foot of the hill on which the redoubt was situated, and it was almost certain death to attempt to draw water.Many shots had been fired at him, and his position repeatedly shelled, but with no e ranks knows avail, all the efforts of t ates to dislodge him but elicited his laughter of derision, accompanied by.shank, Mo § aphic picture | che he Comin no poe F side the annoyance, it was terribly mortifying that one Yank should keep 80 \u2018many men crouched behind the work.Drew\u2019s battalion, the support \u2018of the redoubt, had suffered considerably, and when affairs appeared at their worst, and the men were getting demoralized by these successive losses, Pratt, of our company, asked to try his skill on the Yan.The captain tried to dissuade him, representing that no less than six men had lost their lives in the same endeavor, but as he was determined to try it, the captain at last reluctantly gave consent.Pratt made his preparations by discharging and cleaning his musket, reloading it and seeing that the powder was well up in the tube.Then covering the lock with the flap of his coat he sat down with his back against the inner wall of the earthwork, and, despite the rain and mud, was soon msleep, much to the disappointment of those who had expected him to \u2018take a \u2018shot\u2019 As night set in, Pratt, disencumbering himself of all superfluous clothing, got over the breastworks, gun in hand.We could see him .begin | to make his tortuous way through the abatis, but we quickly lost sight of him in the darkness.It was a weary anxious night to the battalion, for Pratt was deservedly popular, and many a wakeful eye and \u2018eager ear was strained to eatch the least sight or sound that might tell how Pratt fared in his daring adventure.But not a sound disturbed the stillness of the night, and it was feared Pratt was a prisoner.With the first streaks of day anx- jous eyes peered over the parapet, and were rewarded by a bullet whistling by their ears, and the report of the gun of the sharpshooter, which was followed by another discharged in quick succession, the commencement of a general fusilade along the Yankee lines, replied to by the Rebs to the best of their ability.The fire lessened to the irregular dropping shots of the sharpshooters, and, as daylight increased, Pratt was seen at the foot of the hill lying flat on his face.\u2018Pratt, Pratt, are you hurt?cried the boys.\u2018No, not a bit,\u2019 replied Pratt.If you fellows will only stop firing, I will make a run for the works.\u2019 At his desire the boys ceased firing and Pratt got safely inside the works, though the Yanks sent many lead messengers after him.All anxiously in- \u2018quired how he fared in his adventure.\u2018Don\u2019t more than seven of you speak at once,\u201d said Pratt, \u2018and I'll tell you.After leaving -the.works 1 descended the hill through the abatis, and tough work too, no body of men could get through it and face our fire too; then I reached the Warwick, and waded it, the water up to my shoulders; how: ever, I kept my gun dry.When I Teached the other bank, to my great delight, I found it and its hills free of underbrush, for the breaking of a dead branch would have ruined ali.1 Jorept along so quietly that I could hear as\u2019+well as feel my heart, or something very like it, beating in my throat.\u201d \u2019 So \u2018Scared, maybe?said ome of the |-boys.\u2018Yes, scared, and badly too,\u201d replied Pratt.\u2018You try this creeping along in frent of that line of sharpshooters, no one of whom ever misses his man, and let me know your sensations at the time.Well, boys, as I \u2018rose up the hill I crouched more and more, stopping every now and then to listen.I could hear you fellows talking, but I couldn\u2019t make out what you said.-Once while trying to catch what you said the thought.struck me: \u201cSupposé you boys were to open fire; \u2018between that and the Yankees return fire it would be good bye, Bill Pratt.\u201d \u2018I crept along a little further, and at last arrived at the rifle pit which had given us so much trouble.I lay on the ground listening.I dare not rise up and look over, for that might- \u2018be exactly what the fellow was looking for, and I would but get a bullet through my head for my pains.I tossed over a clod of dirt\u2014I had my gun all ready to \u201clet him have it\u201d as he got up to see who threw the clod\u2019 \u201cThe clod, falling on the wooden bottom of the chair with a noise which seemed to me to be sufficient to rouse the whole Yankee camp, plainly told \u2018me he was not in the chair.Perhaps He had left the chair empty to deceive me and was crouching there waiting.Cautfously and slowly I raised my esp on my gun to the edge of the embankment and moved it to and fro \u2018as though its owner were cautiously peering over the works; still all was silent in the pit, not a sound could I hear but my own thick and hurried breathing, even louder than the beat- Ings of my heart.Was I scared?Yes \u2014éome.I don°t think I \u201chanker\u201d after \u2018that sort of thing for a constancy.\u2018When I found that the cap dodge was of no avail I said to myself: \u201cHow stands the case, Bill Pratt?He's not inthe chair\u2014fact number ome.He ain't asleep or he\u2019d be in the chair\u2014 fact, number two.He didn\u2019t take any slashed it to pieces with his sword \u2018bayonet, never once exposing himself, and reserving his { gun for emer- oles, that's\u2014well, I must acknowledge that\u2019s fishy, and it resolves it- into this: he\u2019s there and waiting to bullet through you, or he ain\u2019t and you are getting scared at nothing.Come, Bill, be a man \"and end this thing.\u201d Jumping to my feet, sneering taunts.Several picked shatsYmy gun ready to fire, looked over and in their attempt to kill.him, had.found the pit empty, empty as far ns themselves, by him, been killed.Be- my occupant was concerned, but pro- À hotice of the cap, when he could have | .S .SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1908.visions in plenty.I took %.good pull at my host\u2019s canteen\u2014the tks drink better whiskey than we\u2014and slinging the strap over my shoulder got out of the pit to return to our works, with the canteen for a memento of my visit.I was about starting down the hill when I was arrested by the sound of voices approaching in my direction.Throwing myself on the ground, I lay quiet, hoping that the parties might pass on without observing me: n- stead of passing they came directly towards the pit.\u2018I can go no further with you,\u2019 said one.3 \u2018Oh, \u2018come on,\u2019 replied the second voice, \u2018the Rebs can\u2019t hurt you.\u2019 \u2018Well, you see, fighting ain't my business, and if I should be incapacitated, and fail to wrige my regular letter, Greely would be real angry.\u2019 \u2018Well, good-night, since you won't come any further.Remember to save me a copy of the \u2018Tribune \u2018All right\u2014how many Rebs do you expect to bag to-day?\u2018Well, I can\u2019t say, the game are get- ing very shy; if I killed one and winged two or three of them I'd count it a good day\u2019s work,\u2019 replied the sharpshooter, getting down into his pit.Then as his companion retired, I heard him say:\u2014 \u2018It\u2019s darned chilly on this river.1f it weren't for the fun of picking off them Rebels I\u2019d break camp.Where's my canteen?1 left it here an hour or so ago?The Rebs can\u2019t have taken it?No, no, they ain\u2019t got grit enough for that, some of those Irish hounds of Meagher\u2019s must have stolen it.\u2019 \u2018Afterwards there was a silence, only broken by the creaking of the chair, as he sat in it, rocking and smoking, the fumes of excellent tobacco coming over the pit to me.He had his gun in his hand I knew by hearing him frequently cock and uncock it.It was a terrible predicament, the slightest change in my position would attract his notice, and then, completely protected, he would have me at his mercy.My only chance was to wait for dawn and until he had discharged his gun at one of you boys, then rush on him before he could reload.This plan I determined to ca out.I had no other chance for my life, and there I lay, stiff and cramped, impatiently waiting for daybreak.At last it came, my neighbor was alert, for when you boys peered over your works I heard him say: \u2018Splendid chance; I can get one of these anyhow.\u2019 Summoning all my energies I anxiously awaited the discharge of his gun.The suspense was agonizing.Though it could not have been two seconds between the soliloquy apd the discharge of his gun, yet to me it seemed interminable.At last it came, discharged directly over me.It was my only chance of life.I sprang to my feet and leapt the embankment, A cry for \u201cquarter,\u201d a thrust of his sword bayonet, the discharge of my musket and the sharpshooter lay dying, weltering in his blood at my feet, grasping his gun.I, like Cain, fled.I was obliged to lie down to avoid your fire, and you saw the rest.I don\u2019t mind shooting at the men in a regiment where your shot strikes, but I have had more than enough of thia style of fighting.I can never forget the look that dying man gave me as he lay at my feet bathed in his blood.Oh, it was horrible.1 never, never can forget it.And as long as I knew him, never did.he Rarest of all Stamps SYRACUSE MAN HAS CANADIAN ISSUE VALUED AT SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS.\u2014 (New York Paper.) Philatelists all over the country are just mow envying Mr.John F.Seybold, of Syracuse, N.Y., who has recently added a twelvepence (black) Canadian to his rare coliection of postage stamps.This may not mean much to the uninitiated, but speaks volumes to the philatelist, 1ts rarity may be sed when it is known that it is valued at $600, and Mr.Seybold says he would not part with it for a great deal over that figure, The best informed dealers and collectors agree that there are not over thirty-five of these stamps in the world, while some of the more conservative place the number at thirteen.This one is on the original cover and is the only one known to exist in that form, the others being separate stamps.stamp is of the issue of June 14 1851, to Dec.4, 1854.Thzre were in all 51,400 stamps issued, of which the largest number sent to a single office was to Hamilton, which received 400.On May 1, 1857, the stamps mot used were all destroyed.\u2018The total number of stamps ut into circulation from the issue was sto.The stamp purchased by Mr.Seybold bears a Hamilton postmark.he stamps of this issue were made by Messrs.Rawdon, Wright, Hatch & Ed- 1 som, of New York, who also printéd the first issue of United States stamps in 1847.At the time of the issue of the swelve- pence stamp the postage to England was one shilling (twenty-five cents) sterling, the Canadian currency being at a discount.\u2018The postage to the West Indies was twelvepence and to the United States sixpence._Therzfore about all the stamps went either to the West Indies or came to this country, few, if any oing outside of the two countries and anada, those coming to this country carrying, of course, a double weight letter.overnment lectors in the West Indies, the stamps sent to that country were about all destroyed.- TC overnment buildings and old correspondence have been turned over to discover more of these rare stamps and the und has been tho there is little chance : Covered.so of others be- | As there were few, if any, col- | ing found.In Ki ingston, Ont, @ boy collector had one;

VERY REMOTE.The pernicious microbe is omnipresent and persuasive beyond belief, and.actz upon the minds of certain imaginative individuals with the force of a continual nightmare.Such persons are beset by the idea that hurtful germs are lurking erywhere and are only waiting for the opportunity to pounce upon their unsuspecting victim, To so absurd an extent is this view of the matter car \u2018ried, that in the most simple actions of every-day life deadly danger to health is seen.Kissing has long been interdicted by these advanced thinkers as an especially dangerous custor, land now it is declared that handshaking is the means of spreading a loag string of maladies.Handehaking has ever been looked upon as a very innocent and harmless f mode of demonstrating one\u2019s friendliness, politeness, or respect.It comes, therefore, as a shock to read that handshaking has been denounced in exceedingly strong terms, and that the advice has been given to discontinus the practice on the ground that dis- esse is thereby spread far and wide Dr.J.M.Hirsch, of Chicago, gives his opinions on the subject in \u2018Popu- Jar Mechanica\u2019 He says in part:\u2014 \u201cThe most delicate perfume upon the hands is not a sign of freedom from germs, and the most refined are not free from disease of the lungs or throat, and the germs are rapidly spread by touching the hand that has handled the handkerchief of one ai- flicted with a cold, catarrh, or consumption.These diseases claim more than one-seventh of all the deaths.Qur street cars carry signs requesting passengers to abstain from spitting therein.These same passengers may bold, their hands before their mouths whap they cough and cover them with germs enqugh' fo infect a thousand people.They may use their

may be disseminated in this manner.\"The above has boen quoted merely to chow to what extreme lengths Faddists will go in order to drive home their theories.As lo infectious diseases being spread by the hands, the event in some instances may be possible, but it is always very improbaole.Handshaking will doubtless flourish as vigorously es if there were no possible fear of getting into ome\u2019s

Member.FIRST AIR BRAKE EVER KNOWN \u2014SOMETIMES A RUDDER.(New York \u2018Evening Post.) Birds bave not always had the graee- ful fan-like bunch of feathers which is the typical form of tail of most living.species.Their ancestors, the lizard- like birds, trailed long appendages composed of many little bones or vertebrae, with a pair of perfectly developed feathers growing from each separate piece of the- backbone.If we look at the skeleton of a 3par- 10w or dove, we will see, at the tail end of the spinal column, a curious wedge-shaped bone, which is known as the ploughshare bone.This is all that is left of the lizard tail, but the rest of the appendage, in the course of its evolution through the ages, has not dropped off, nor, like the tail of a polywog, has it been absorbed.It has been telescoped or crowded together, the bones nearer the body bulging out slightly on either side.So at-the present day, tail-feathers grow, not like the webs on the shaft of a feather, bat fan-like from a composite mass of bone.Now that we have evolved our modern bird\u2019s tail, let us see to what uses it may be put, and à fine place to do this is in the New York Zoological Park.Of course, its use as an aid to flight is the first thought which comes to our mind, and rightly, too, for the parts which it plays in this respect in various birds, are maxzy.The tail is used as a rudder, especially when it is long and powerful, enabling birds euch as tropic-birds and magpies to make quick turns in the air.Tails sometimes perform the function of brakes.When a green pelican settles gradually toward the surface of the water, the tail, widespread and lowered, is of great importance in regulating the shock of alighting.The tail is aided in this function of brake by the great expense of web between the togs, both feet becoming comically stretgh- ed out in front.cell Birds which have very short tails aré unable to turn quickly, and their flight is very direct, or even when there ig 4 long teil, if it is principally for .ornament, and not well muscled, it, is of little use in helping its owner io change the direction of flight.= 2 Among many other uses of tails we must mention props.Woodpeckers and creepers really sit on their tails, the feathers of which are stiffens and with just enough resistance at.the tips to admit of their bending into, and making use of every crevice in bark.As we watch a brown .org hop rapidly up a tree-tsmink, never ; ing a foothold, no matter what smo places it may.encounter, we say i ourselves, how \u201cimpossible ct & of progression would be without .he all-important caudal appendage.But here, as everywhere Nature confronts us with surprises.Our natural philogoph- ers tell us that the law of gravitation is univérsal, and yet in almost every grove of trees in winter, we find what are apparent exceptions.Associats with the brown creepers, little blue and white birds will often be seea\u2014 nut-hatches\u2014which run up and ho merrily over the trunks and branches, upside down, wrong side up, anyway, any place which promises an insect titbit.And most wonderful of all, it is only by means of their eight little claws that they do this, the rather short tail is often bent far.forward.over the back and in every case never touches the bark.; Even the innate characteristies of birds are often portrayed in the manner of carrying the tail, quiet, soft: mannered birds carrying it low be neath the wing tips, while active, nervous species carry it more or less raised.The peacock\u2019s real tail consists of small brown feathers which serve as a support to\u2019 the magnificent train of feathers from the lower back.\u2018 The motmots, birds of Central and South America, not satisfied with having long decorative tail feathers, proceed to embellish further, and when full grown, pull off the barbs from a portion of each of these feathers, leaving n rounded disk at the tip.Even birds which have been rear from the nest, carry out this habit through inheritance.The males of eer-\u2019 tain weaver birds\u2014the widow finches\u2014 have very eldgant tails much longer than their bodies.And most graceful-, ly do they carry them, flying through thick foliage without injuring their long trains in the least.In some birds, as in our meadow lark and vesper sparrow, the central feathers of the tail are protectively colored, and when the bird is at rest help to conceal it from view.The minute these birds take wing, the pure white outer feaThers flash out conspicuously.It js said that these are like the \u2018cotton tail\u2019 of the rabbit\u2014a signal to its oung, or to other members of the.and more experienced birds being stronger and therefore usually in the lead.The tinamous of South America has no tail at all \u2014C.William Beebe.\u2014 REASON FOR THE KAISER\u2019S MUFF.\u2018In your recent issue,\u2019 writes a -Ger- man correspondent of M.A.P., 1 of the paragraphs about the Kaiser, you mention that you have never boen.able to understand the reason hi P French, flock, to follow and escape, the older |- inffre l'his roôm table.I am able to give you accurate information about this, as I have often accompanied the hunters of ray region here to the Jagd.This muff is a very essential part of a German hnuter\u2019s equipment, especially when je is ova: what is called the Anstand.The hunting parties break up about one or two o\u2019clock in the morning in late autumn, and wait at certain points of the tor- | este until the game, usually decr, pass on their way to their drinking grounds.As the German autumn nights ae bitterly cold, a protection for the hands must be provided for\u2014hence a muff.This article is usually made of bear\u2019s fur, or any other very warm skin, and has rather a flat shape, enabling the hands to be pulled out at onee;
