"The King feels," said Minister Burrell, "that there is no douht that this great undertaking will be attended with marked success and prove worthy of the vast achievement which it celebrates. "His majesty rejoices to think his Dominion of Canada is taking part in this exhibition, and thus testifying to the appreciation of the British empire at the linking of the Atlantic with the Pacific and at the happy results which may be expected from the mingling of the waters of the two oceans, "I am also charged with a message from His Majesty's government expressive of their good wishes and those of all British subjects to the organizers of the exposition. May it be a good presage for the peace and happiness of the world." The ceremonies took place on the north steps of the Canadian pavilion, which has been unanimously judged to be one of the finest of the foreign buildings at the exposition, as well as containing perhaps the most comprehensive and graphic display to be found on the grounds. In the coarse of his remarks, the Minister said: "Once more Canada gladly tenders you her tribute of praise and active co-operation. Your government invited all nations of the earth to take Part in this exposition and they have finely responded. That Canada's participation should be Prompt and whole-souled is both "atural and fitting. The social and industrial intercourses of our people are yearly increasing.

Robertson, of Queensland, and Commissioner F. T. Fricke, from Victoria, Australia; Ernesto Nathan, commissioner from Italy, and numerous other commissioners and exposition dignitaries. Johnson • Willard Bout in Havana Now. Toronto.—Tom Flanagan, who trained Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist for the tight with James Jeffries at Reno, announced he had received a cablegram from Johnson at Havana, in which Johnson said he had called off the fight with Jess Willard set for March Cth at Juarez, and that the fight would take place in Havana. Flanagan gave out the text of the cable from Johnson at Havana as follows: "Will fight Willard here. Fight will draw as much as Jeffries- Johnson fight. There is not a chance for me to go to Mexico." CURLEY LEAVES FOR HAVANA, El Paso, Texas,—Jack Curley promoter of the Johnson-Willard bout at Juarez, announced he would leave immediately for Havana, where, he said, Johnson re mained. He said that his Cuba did eral member would be elected for this new constituency at the first election. The following officers were elected : Honorary president, Sir Wilfrid Laurier; president, C. A. Gaskill; first vice-president, H. G. Perry ; second vice-pres. Barney Folk; secretary-treasurer, A. D. Lamb; executive : J. R. Campbell, R. A. Grant, W. Sommerton, D. J. Baker, J. Macleod, C. H. Keddie, J. H. Matthie, C. C. Macleod, Alex. Hunter, Tom Stretch, C, Deykin, and J. Scott, with power to add to their number. The following resolution, copies of which ai-e being forwarded to Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Ottawa, and H. C. Brewster at Victoria, was proposed by G. C. Macleod, seconded by C. H. Keddie, and carried unanimously; " Be it resolved that the Lib- j erals of Prince George, B. C. j express our confidence in the! Dominion opposition, and particularly in the venerable statesman and leader of Liberalism at its head, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, it be ing our belief that the events of the past few years, and especially the war in Europe, have demonstrated to a larger degree than ever the wisdom of the trade and naval policies of the Liberal party of Canada, from both Imperial and National viewpoints. "And be it further resolved that we express our confidence also in the liberal platform and party of British Columbia, led by H. C. Brewster, and, having regard to the future welfare of the province, pledge our efforts to elect a Liberal Government at Victoria. "And be it further resolved that we not only hope and look forward to seeing Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the head of the Government of Canada, after the next election, but also that he will come to the west, travelling at least one way over the (irand Trunk Pacific to see one of the fruits of fifteen years of Liberal rule, and we hereby tender him an invitation to address the people of this city." cannounces that with the coming of spring and as soon as work on the track can be commenced, 2000 men will be employed from McBride to Fort Fraser. unto him. Anarchy in Mexico. There is nothing but anarchy in Mexico today. No congress, no law courts of any degree, no police whatever, no diplomatic or consular service, no church, no established institution. Each chief is a law self. The value of the peso is now under twelve cents, and the tendency to go lower is apparent. Each "general" in the field, and there are scores of them, has a printing outfit in hii train. When he needs money, he turns the handle and the damp notes fall out. This money he forces upon the poor unfortunate community. [Naturally the forgeries amount | to millions of pesos. Occasionally i a decree is issued making it obligatory to present all the money in one's possession to a stamp office to be "re-validated" The Mexican certainly seems to have solved the problem 'of how to create money, and how to redeem it, even if he has been unable to solve the problem of a constitutional government. Both Villa and Carranza seem to be getting all the arms they want from the United States, so presumably it is only a question of paying for them. There should be a point of exhaustion but it seems a long way off under such circumstances. Neither of these two leaders seems capable of handling the situation. Perhaps Obregon may come to the front. He is a military man and at least something better than a brigand or a theorist. late last night issued the following report: Operations in the Dardanelles were resumed early in the week when the Triumph, Ocean and Albion entered the straits and attacked fort, No. 8 and batteries at Whitecliffe. The lire was returned by forts and also by field guns and howitzers. An air re- connaisance made by naval seaplanes brought report that successful new gun position had been prepared by enemy but nn guns erected in them. Seaplanes also located surface mines. During Monday night a force of mine sweepers covered by destroyers swept within mile and a half of (iape Kephez, and their work which was carried out under fire is reported to have been excellent. Casualties sustained: during the day were slight, a- mounting to only six wounded. Four French battleships operated off Bulair and bombarded {communications. Operations at entrance of straits already reported have resulted in destruction of forty guns ranging from 6 to 11 inches; eleven guns below 6 inches, four Nordenfeld guns and two searchlights. Magazines of forts six and three also have been demolished, Further report states Tuesday the Canopus, Swiftsure and Cornwall engaged fort No. 8. A heavy fire was opened on them by fort No. 9, together with field batteries and howitzers. Fort No. 9 was damaged and ceased firing at 5:30 in the afternoon, and although three ships were hit, only casualty was one man slightly wounded. Seaplane reconnaisance was impossible owing to weather. Mine sweeping operations were continued through the day. The attack progresses. The Russian cruiser Askold has joined the allied fleet off Dardanelles. Roumania to put an Army in Field in April A despatch from Paris states that N. Mizu, Roumanian minister to London, has assured the British government that the Roumanian army would take the field in April. An agreement has been signed in London providing for a loan of $26,000,000 from the Bank of England to the Bank of Roumania against Roumanian treasury bills. TakeJonescu, Roumanian minister of the interior, was reported in December to have said that "any nation keeping out of the present struggle commits moral, political and economical suicide."

Paris.—The Matin prints a dispatch from the correspondent at Athens, who repeats the story published several times recently that the Sultan of Turkey is preparing to leave Constantinople and to this end imperial trains are kept with steam up in the railway station. The inhabitants of the Prinkipo Islands in the Sea of Marmora, not far from Constantinople, have been instructed to hold themselves in readiness to leave.

Edwin D, Mead, director of the World's Peace Foundation of Boston, in an address, said that in the present war the neutral nations had been silent too long, Fifty-five unguarded prisoners from the federal military ..prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, came into town on an electric car recently, formed in line headed by a band, marched to a theatre where they gave a minstrel performance, and returned to the prison with not a man missing. The party was accompanied only by the prison chaplain, under whose direction the performance was given. The prisoner minstrels played to a capacity house and donated the proceeds of the affair to the American Red Cross. C. P. R. to Raise Engineering Corps. Ottawa.—A specialengineering corps of 500 Canadian engineers is to be organized by the Canadian Pacific Railway for service at the front, A request received some time ago from the war office for the formation of such a corps whose duties it will be to rebuild bridges, replace rights of way and perform other work of this kind, very necessary in modern warfare. Vice-President George Bury of the C. P. R. on request offered to undertake this work as he is naturally in a better situation to secure the right kind of men than the government. The heavier equipment for this corps will be supplied by the British war office but the smaller and lighter equipment will be supplied by Canada and transported with the corps. The corps which Vice-President Bury has undertaken to organize will be commanded by a man high in the engineering world of the dominion and it is understood that an official of the C. P. R. itself may secure the position. The corps according to present j indications will be about COO. London.— English newspapers are ceasing the attempts to minimize the importance of the submarine campaign. The public attitude generally is that we must now wholly trust our own authorities. The demand grows that we should treat submarine crews, sinking unarmed merchantmen without warning, as pirates. The Morning Post says; "Germany, on the sea, is hostis humani generis, and the sooner the fact is recognized, the better. It is often said that the law of nations has no force, there existing no means for enforcing it; but the fact remains that pirates who are outside the law suffer certain highly disagreeable disabilities and penalties. Execution Dock is not an attractive or even dignified port of call for ships of dishonorable service." The public here cannot understand why our government delays declaring all the enemy's goods, carried under whatever flag, contraband. Parliament, despite occasional flickers of controversy, is deadly dull. "The house suffers for its respectability," says one critic. "Without party contests it loses interest in itself and fears the indifference of the electors. The lobby is emptier and duller than at any time within recollection. There are no intrigues and controversies. There is no thrill of passion and members have no political gossip. They attend to their correspondence, which is unusually heavy, and go home early. While faithfully doing their parliamentary duty 'they have no zest in the ordinary life of the lobby and their thoughts (lee to ships and soldiers." French Steamer Arrests Dacia Paris.—A French cruiser has arrested the American steamer Dacia in the English Channel and taken her to Brest. Washington.—While no official information has reached the State Department as to the seizure of the American steamer Dacia, bound for Germany loaded with cotton, it is known that no protest by the American Government is probable until a French prize court passes on the ship's status, This has been regarded as a test case upon which final decision as to the right of neutrals to purchase vessels from citizens of belligerents might be kveky Friday at its Printing Office in South Port Georqe.

Canada For American Tourists We have pointed out on several previous occasions that directly and indirectly Canada stands to benefit by the war. One is Canada's claim as a tourist centre. For years the Continent of Europe has been the happy hunting ground of many thousands of wealthy Americans. This part of the globe, however, is at present cut off from them, and they will have to be on the lookout for "fresh woods and pastures new." This year they are not even likely to have the opportunity of visiting what will certainly come to be a great centre of attraction for them, the battlefields of Europe. What more likely then, than that they should turn their attention and their footsteps to Canada, and spend their hundred million dollars or so in seeing the country of their neighbors to the norlh ? The great lakes, old- world Quebec, the pine woods of the North, the grandeur of the Rockies, are attractions such as few nations on either side of the Atlantic can offer to the tourist. There is no Niagara in Europe, and the Rhine is insignificant beside the St. Lawrence. An appeal should be made for Government action, prompt and decisive, in co-orainating all the existing agencies of the tourist business and in advertising Canada's attractions as a holiday region throughout North and South America. We would only add that the Mother Country should not be left out of account in taking steps which might continue to be effective long after the war. There will still be some people in the United Kingdom who will be glad to take a holiday outside of its shores.—Canada. Successful Farming Possible Here. potatoes and buckwheat with the aid of a grub-hoe and a crotch- h a rrow. Wherever something would grow something was planted. The one object was to get something to eat. When they set out to clear their land, they chose the easiest part, and when they had nothing better to do, they worked at taking out the stumps. If, in the course of four or five years, they had a smooth field, every square foot of which could be ploughed, they thought they were doing pretty well. Some readers may say that this cannot be done in our province, and, doubtless, there are many cases where it cannot be done, but a man who has no capital is unwise to attempt to clear very heavily timbered land. We are not speaking of specific localities or of specific individuals; all we are endeavouring to do is to dispel the idea, as far as we can, that a settler in British Columbia must of necessity contemplate the expenditure of a very large sum of money in order to make even a beginning at farming. m. The average settler on a new farm is usually a person with very little capital besides his own energy. He ought, therefore, to select a location for his future home where that energy can be applied to the greatest advantage. The primary considerations are the quality of the soil and the amount of work necessary to get it into shape for cultivation. There are other important questions, tut these are fundamental. The first object to be attained by a new settler is the production of food or something that can be exchanged for food. Hence, his effort ought to be to get on a piece of ground from which he can reasonably hope to produce something to eat with a minimum expenditure of his capital, which as has been already said, consists chiefly of his energy. He ought, from the outset to aim at making his new farm as nearly capable of meeting his actual domestic- needs as he can. Let us, by way of illustration, take the case of thousands of new settlers in an Eastern province. These men never thought of preparing their land for the plough the first season. They were content if they could get the trees cut down over an acre or two, have a good "burn" early in the season, and put in some The Value of Snow. We are glad indeed to see that the Canadian Press has at last outgrown its timidity concerning reference to the Canadian winter and now recognises the annual snowfall as a national asset. Some years ago, "Canada" published a number of excellent photographs showing winter scenes and winter sports in Canada, and received serious complaints from certain Canadians for what they considered an unfriendly action. They urged that to show such scenes would frighten away immigrants, and thereby retard the development of the country. The rejoinder was that the truth was good enough for Canada, that its cold bracing winter was one of its natural advantages, and that the British emigrant would be attracted by a dry though cold climate after his experiences of English fogs and mud, We now read in some of Canada's papers lines like the following : "The recent snowfall was hailed with delight by everyone not only because it created good seasonable winter conditions and encouraged business, but because it cleared the air and laid the dust which was filling the houses and stores with dust and the lungs with germs." "The snow came as a blessing to the country. It is a commercial and sanitary asset, and should be valued as such. Some day Canada will be pround of the title'Our Lady of the Snows,' which Kipling conferred on the Dominion." If anyone asks any member of the Canadian Contingent at Salisbury Plain which winter climate he prefers, Canadian or English, there could be only one answer, and this although over 70 per cent, of the Contingent were born in the United Kingdom.—Canada. In several respects the Sikhs, who are with the Indian forces at the front, form a unique fighting force. In the first place they fill fully one-third of the rank and file of our native armies in India. Unlike the Gurkhas, however, they do not belong to a single race, There are several types of Sikhs, the force being divided into clans. There is what is known as the "Khattaries" or "Kshatriyas" clan, consisting of representatives of the old military caste of the Hindus. They are not such big men as the "Jats," another Sikh clan, consisting of tall, stalwart fellows, who are a distinct; contrast to the Masbis, who are short, rather inclined to be stout, and have very dark skin and irregular features. All the clans, however, are noted for their great powers of endurance, fighting qualities, and skill in handling a gun and bayonet. Indeed, it has often been said by military experts that there is no more cool and effec tive soldier in the world than the Sikh, who takes to our drill like a duck takes to water, soon becomes a sharpshooter, and masters the use of the bayonet probably better than the soldiers of any other nationality. So cold-blooded and invincible, indeed, are they in a bayonet charge that it frightens even the most fearless fighters, who lose their nerve when confronted by the merciless steel in the hands of these dauntless and determined Indian troops. Although, however, there are various racial differences between the clans of the Sikhs, there is one link which binds them together, and that is their religion which is called "Sikhism," Without going into details, says the Navy and Army Illustrated, it may be said that this faith disdains i d o 1 a t r y, inculcates the worship of God the Father, and preaches the doctrine of the Brotherhood of Man. The religion of the Sikh makes him proof against "caste prejudices"—that is to say, unlike the Hindu, he is not required by his creed to refuse to break bread with anyone outside his own little clique, or decline to eat food cooked by foreigners. A tenet of their faith to which they strictly adhere is not to use tobacco in any form. Few of them partake of liquor to excess. The Sikhs make equally good cavalry and infantry men. In pioneer work—that is to say, in clearing forests, cutting roads, making bridges, sinking wells to provide water for the army, lay- ing and neutralizing mines, etc., they cannot be beaten for the courage they display in facing difficulties which would daunt the stoutest hearts. And since the Indian Mutiny, when they fought so gallantly for us against the rebellious sepoys, their services being gratefully acknowledged and richly rewarded, they have fought on our side and have always battled valiantly. The organization of the Cana- jdian expeditionary forces, the 1 work performed in that connection by each branch of the militia ! department and the expenditures I made, are dealt with in a printed memorandum just issued by the militia department. Expenditures to December 31, chargeable to the war votes, were as follows: Pay of troops, §11,885,107; separation allowances, $500,949; horses, 81,721,970; clothing, $3,809,415; ammunition, 8200,848; field guns, $1,141,073; rifles and bayonets, $520,358; mo- I tor cars, etc., $871,023; saddlery land horses' equipment, $335,628; 1 other equipment, 81,871,602; engineering works, 8520,177; railway transportation, 81,030,961; ocean transports, 81,454,281; censors, 874,320; general, 8284,- 1268. In the past six months by contract the department of militia has bought supplies to the a- mount of 818,500,000 for the Canadian forces, besides harness, saddlery, blankets, etc. for British and foreign governments to the value of $6,400,000. The total number of contracts entered into is 2,000. These are of the most varied character, including ordnance, small arms and ammunition, hardware and cutlery, vehicles, blankets, clothing of all kinds, drugs, medicines, surgical supplies, food for man and beast, saddlery and leather goods of all kinds, brushes and brooms, field glasses, and practically an endless variety of things necessary to fully equip 90,000 troops. The department in buying most of its supplies has arranged for a I reserve of 100 per cent in the ! more important items, down to j 30 per cent in other items, as re- ! quired by the war office. The ! first batch of requisitions for supplies, for clothing, uniforms, etc., was made on August 10 last. These called, for 65,000 pairs of ankle boots, 15,000 great coats, 40,000 jackets, 33,000 pairs of puttees, 6,500 pairs of pantaloons, 50,000 suits of service clothing, K'fl.OOO suits of underclothing, 100,000 flannel shirts, 150,000 pairs of socks, and supplies of more than twenty other descriptions.

Salvage Co,, the wreck of the steamer Delhi, which went ashore some weeks ago on Strait Island, Alaska, is ! declared to be beyond salvage. Word was received by the Salvage Company's offices at Victoria that the vessel would be a total loss. Teaching School Children to Save A canvass of the banks in Los Angeles, Calif., has shown that 40,000 children under 16 years of age have almost $1,000,000 in saving deposits, an average of $25 each. One bank has 15,000 depositors between the ages of 2 and 14 years. The largest account is that of a 12-year-old boy who has $1,572, He began seven years ago with 50c. A leading financier declared on this showing that Los Angeles children are the thriftiest in the world, a condition he ascribes largely to the instruction imparted in the business courses of the public schools. The world is upheld by the veracity of good men. They make the earth wholesome. -Emerson. Seed Grain Distribution to Start Soon Ottawa.—The extension of the area in the west in which seed grain is to be furnished settlers who lost their crop through drought, has necessitated large purchases of additional wheat and oats. No trouble is being met with in the purchase of wheat, but it is different with oats. Oats for seed must be of a superior quality, and last year's western oat crop was not of this class. Every effort is being made to secure an ample supply of seed oats. Distribution of seed grain will begin almost immediately. On hand there are 2,000,000 bushels of seed wheat and 1,000,000 of oats. As the re:ently purchased grain is secured, it will be cleaned in the government internal elevators and distributed. Applications for seed from settlers outside the drought-striken area number thousands. These are being investigated and, as accepted, the quantity of seed for each district is being ascertained. JUST WHY WE SNEEZE. Sneezing may be due to one of a number of causes. A bright light will cause many people to sneeze, as also the pollen of certain plants, while there are few people but will sneeze in the presence of dust. When you havo a cold the sneezing ls due to an uttempt by nature to cure you. She is trying to make you sneeze for the same purpose that she wants you to shiver-to generate heat for warming the blood and preventing you from taking more cold, to help relieve the cold you have. For one does not sneeze with his nose, but with the entire body. During the act every muscle of the body gives a jump, as it were. It goes into a sort of spasm that warms the entire system. -New York American, F°"& ^..' ********* as Practical Canadian Seeds men supported by exhaustive testing on our own fully eanin ped Trial Grounds has T± us a thorough kno .ledi,. 0f every known variety.

It was the first week in November that we got our first experience with German submarines. It was an ideal night for an attack by these crafts — dark, and the water a bit choppy. No man is allowed to turn into his hammock on such a night. At about half past two in the middle watch the lookout sighted a red light on the starboard side; another was seen ahead; and shortly afterward another was reported on the port side. We steamed up within 20 yards of the first light and then threw the rays of our searchlight on it. Instantly it was revealed as a submarine and immediately it dived. The two other lights disappeared at the same instant. As a matter of fact, the submarine had mistaken our ship for their own supply ship, the red lights evidently being their recognition signals. The captain put on full speed and steered about in a semi-circle in the hope of ramming one of the submarines, but without success. Every minute we expected to get a 'tin fish' into the side of our ship, but fortunately they failed to torpedo us. Word was signaled to the other destroyers in our division and a careful watch was kept up until dawn; but nothing more was seen of the enemy."

A decline of about $210,000,000 as compared with 1913 is shown in the trade figures for the calender year which has just been issued by the Department of Trade and Commerce at Ottawa. The total imports for 1914 are given as $481,319,309, while the year previous the figures were $659,263,871. Exports totalled $428,315,512, as compared with $460,519,246 in 1913. Exports of manufactures and animal produce alone showed an increase. Canadian manufacturers increased their exports last year to $69,151,924, as compared with $54,010,873 in 1913. Exports of animal produce last year totalled $68,316,972, as compared with $51,612,509 in 1913. Of living animals Canada sent over *13,000,000 worth to the United States last year, following the removal of duty, as compared with less than $8,000,000 during the preceding year. It is interesting to note that while trade with nearly every country except the United States showed a decrease last year, in the case of the latter there was an increase. With Great Britain exports decreased by a little over 840,000,000* and imports by a little over $41,000,000, as compared with this total decrease of over $80,000;000 in the total trade with Great Britain, there was an increase of nearly $10,000,000 in the total trade with the United States. Imports from the States last year totalled $440,875,540, a decrease of about $500,000, as compared with 1913. Exports to the United States last year totalled $203,763,630, an increase of nearly 810,500,000. Baltimore.—Captain J. White, who recently came into this port in charge of the British steamship Overdale, says he sank a German submarine off the coast of England. It was during a heavy snowstorm, according to the captain's story, that his vessel collided with the submarine, which was submerged at the time, and passed over its deck. For a few minutes the Overdale was lifted out of the water and all on board thought she would break in two. Caught on the crest of a wave, the big freighter came down with full force on the deck of the submarine, and it sank from sight. The Overdale, with two blades of her propeller broken off and leaking slightly from damaged plates, made her way into Queens- town harbor, where she remained in dry dock for about three weeks undergoing repairs. living Conditions Denounced January 1st, 1915. Victory follows thc flag. 1 There are few people who do not know the story of the wonderful carpet on which the owner had but to sit, wish to be at some place, and, lo! immediately he found himself there. 1 Some agents of this nature would be appreciated by many a manufacturer in jumping the demand for his product into a thousand places, a thousand miles away. Apparently to such a man there is no means of "getting there " and placing his name and his goods right into that territory, except by slow, laborious bit-by-bit acquaintanceship, and mouth-to-mouth testimonials. 1 But he has overlooked the modern Carpet of Bagdad— It is Newspaper Advertising. 1 If you are doing a local business, talk over your advertising problems with the Advertising Department of this newspaper. Moving Pictures in Schools. Children in Chicago will have the moving picture show in their schoolhouses. It has been resolved to place an apparatus in all school assembly halls and gymnasiums and to open these three nights in the week. The shows will be conducted under the direction of the school superintendent. They will be operated on educational lines. The buildings and grounds committee of the school board is responsible for the innovation. It will only be a matter of time and money till, in every school, the moving picture will be used to help in the teaching of history, geography and literature. While it will not do away with the necessity of oral teaching, there can be no doubt that the cinematograph will be a great help to the wide awake teacher. Temperance in France. Roosevelt. N. J. Living conditions among the laborers at the plants of the American Agricultural Chemical company were denounced as "indescribably vile" by Dr. Max Jacoby, a local physician in testimony before the state legislative committee which is investigating the causes which led to the strike at the plants here last month and the shooting of strikers by deputy sheriffs. Disease was rampant, he said, and malaria and tuberculosis so common that it did not even excite pity. The chemical fumes in which the men worked, weakened the throat, lungs and intestines so that they became susceptible to disease, he said. "Men and women die from tuberculosis right along, after exposing others to it," said the doctor. "Little attention," the witness continued, "was paid to sick children and physicians were seldom summoned except when a child was dying and then more to insure a proper death certificate than with any hope of saving the life of a child." Children were born, Dr. Jacoby asserted, amid conditions indescribable for their filth and sor- didness. Large families lived in three or four small rooms with sometimes three or four beds in each room with no ventilation or privacy. London last year imported 8,339,114 carcasses of frozen mutton and lamb mainly from Australia. The temperance campaign in France is daily growing in extent and influence. The academy of political and moral sciences, inspired by the example of the academy of sciences, has forwarded to the minister of finance a resolution urging the immediate adoption of further and more drastic measures to stamp out spirit drinking. Among 'the measures suggested is an all- round increase of the taxes on liquors and saloons whenever such a move is possible. The abolition of the traditional privilege of wine growers to distill as much brandv as they desire for their own consumption without having to pay duty is called for, and it is suggested also that the law against drunkenness which is now virtually in abeyance, shall be rigidly enforced. AS ir HAPPENS. The fool speaks out before he thinks, And when his words are sped Beyond recall, on fatal wings, He learns that he has uttered things He never should have said. The wise man thinks before he speaks, And when it is too late, Sits down, defeated and alone, To think what might have been, and moan: "Alas! why did 1 wait?" The Canadian troops are doing most effective work in the trenches-Spades are trumps. One of the best cartoons of the day pictures Uncle Sam holding up the American Stars and Stripes and inviting Kaiser William to "take a good look at it." — Indeed, by the time William gets done looking at the Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes he will wish he hadn't begun it.
