For several summers past, in\nfact ever sinoe the medioinai properties\nof the waters beoame known, visitors\nhave had to pnt up with tent life and\naccommodations of tbe most primitive\noharaoter. Every year the number of\nvisitors has been larger than that of the\npreceding one, nntil tho hot springs on\nUpper Arrow Lake have beoome quite\nfamous throughout the provinoe and\neven beyond its southern and eastern\nboundaries. The hotel is being built\nby Capt. Sanderson on an eminence\nabont 100 yards from the lake shore and\nwithin a quarter of a mile of the springs.\nIt will afford aooommodation for fifty\nguests, and will certainly be full for\nsix months of the year. The water will\nbe brongbt from the springs in pipes,\nso that invalids too delicate to walk may\nbe able to take the healthgiving baths\nindoors. The water at the springs is\nrather too hot for bathing purposes,\nbeing 120 degrees Fabreneit. Soores of\npeople in this neighborhood are able to\ngive tbe highest testimony as to the\nenrative properties of the waters, and\nsay that they excel those of the world-\nfamed hot springs at Banff. The Arrow\nLake hot springs are beautifully situated\non the east shore about twelve miles\nfrom the head of the lake, and it will\nnot require muoh of a prophet to predict that within a year or two a great\npublio health resort will spring np at\ntbis point. Tbe hotel will be opened\nabout tbe middle of April.\nA. H.

At the previous\nhearing witnesses for complainant stated\ntbat defendant had dug a trenoh aoross\nthe road after oompiainant bad taken\nhis sleigh np the mountain side, and\nthat it would bave been dangerous to\nattempt to pass tbe trenoh on his return\ndown the hill with a load of wood. Tbe\ncomplainant stated that the trench was\n12ft. long, 3ft. wide and 2%ft. deep, but\none of defendant's witnesses swore that\nit waB only 9 inches deep. Complainant\nbrought the aotion as ale 'ease to ascertain if defendant had any r,, lit to prevent tbe publio use of tbe road, whioh\npasses in front of Mr. Long's brewery.\nFrom other evidence it wus proved lhat\ntbe road was need for hauling wood\nfrom tbe mountains before the brewery\nwas built, It was also proved that Mr,\nLong bad no deeds to show his title to\ntbe land on whioh the brewery stands,\nbnt is only a squatter, The magistrates\ndecided that there had been no obstruction and dismissed the osse, complainant to pay tbe costs of the oourt.\nProbably tbu summons would never\nhave been taken ont but for the faot\nthat Mr. Long said that \"any other\nteamster in tbe town might bring down\nwood, but uot Peterson.\" This was\nunderstood to mean tbat he would not\nallow Peterson to use tbe road- But in\nhis evidenoe be explained that he meant\n\"any teamster hut Peterson oould drive\nover euoh a slight obstruction.\" Further\non Mr. Long said he did not consider\ntbo road a publio oue and that Peterson\nhad no right thero. Thin is somewhat\neontradiotory to his statoment that \"auy\nteamster but Peterson oould pass,\" because if Peterson bad no right there, certainly no one else bad. As tho road\nleads to nowhere thu question is not of\nvital importance to the oommanity, but\nMr. Petersou is quite within his rights\niu bringing a test oase.\nOCEAN STEAMSHIPS/-\nRoyal Mail Lines.\nProposed Sailings from Halifax.\nMONGOLIAN Allan Feb. 1\nLAURENIIAN.... \" Feb.l&\nNTJM1DIAN \" Mar.

Did it not bleed thick\nred blood, did it not bristle with swords,\nand was not ita abode on those Isles of thc\nBlest far beyond the gates of Gsdes, in the\nveritable Garden of the Ucaperides?

The\nmeasure round the skull of the criminal,\ntaken horizontally, ia always less than that\nofthe upright man,and his brain is found to\nbe lighter; hia constitution is feebler, too,\nand his heart is weak. But even among\nculprits themselves there are great differences; thus tho highway robber is naturally\nfound to be taller than the pickpocket, and\nthe bones of his skeleton are stronger; he and\nthe murderer, when they write at all, write\na large round hand with many flourishes ;\nthe thief writes with effeminacy a small hand.\nThese people aro apt to give the student\nsurprises ; he finds, for instance, that they\nare not habitually cruel ; wanton murderers will be kind to a pet; whero tbey are\ncruel it L women who aro tho most so,\nund who diacover the most shocking forms\nof cruelty ; and although a few have talent they are all wanting in tho ability to\nuse their talent to advantage ; but the most\nof them have great stupidity. They are\nflighty and faithless always, clinging long\nto nothing. And with it they are extra,\nordinarily superstitious. The one satisfactory thing that comes out of all this investigation is the establishment of the fact\nthat education diminishes the tendency to\ncrime, and that as by slow degrees the day\nshall come when a wholo generation is\neducated, the children of that generation\nwill be born with leas and less tendency\nto crime or to crime made easy. For education enlarges, strengthens and refines the\nbrain, gives it closeness, determines its\ngrowth ; and just so far as criminality has\nanything to do with the insufficient brain,\neducation will abate it, and the malnutrition, of the system, with its reflex action\non the nerves, will bo overcome by the\nwork snd wages that education will increase It ia not agreeable to dwell upon\nthis dark aido of human nature, but if wo\nknow nothing of it vie shall do nothing for\nit; and surely there is not a durk spot\nupon the earth to whose purification we\nshould not set our minds and hands.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\n[Harpers' Bazar.\nTriad Eeoeipta-\nLemon Cookies.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDOne cnp of sugar, ono\ncup of butter, two eggs, two tableapoonfuls\not milk, one teaspoonful of baking powder,\nthe juice of one lemon, and just tho requisite\namount of flour to roll nicely.\nTo Ery Apples. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDIt is seldom I find anyone that will fry apples as I do, and I will\ngive my way of doing it.

At the last enameration\nwe had221,034 occupiers who are owners,\nand 60,483 oc3up:era who are tenants. To\nput the case in another way, sixteen per\ncent, of the farmcra were tenants in 1S71,\nwhereas in 1891 twenty-one per cent, were\ntenants. In Quebec the increaso has been\nabout the same ratio. There are 19,079\ntenants there now, against 7,895 twenty\nyears ago. The other province3 show a\nsmaller increase in tha tenants, while Prince\nEdward has added to the number of own>\ners by 1,500 and has decreased the tenants\nby twenty-two. There are now only 813\ntenant farrrersin the littie island.\nIt is important to observe that tha conditions which obtain here have thoir influence also In the neighboring States. There\nthe freehold owner is giving way to the\ntenant. Frequently it is aaid that the\nfarm mortgagca\nAOROSS THE LINE\nare lower than those of Canada. Thia is\nnot true of all States; and where it is true\nit sooma lhat one factor in the apparently\nbetter position of affairs is the circumstance\nthat many a farmer, while not a mortgagor,\nia tha tenant of a wealthy owner who has\nnot found it necessary to look tor a loan.\nThe growth of what ia termed landlordism\nin tbo Uuited States is, indeed, attracting\na great deal of attention, and in many\nquarters the opinion ia entertained tbat\nsome form of legislation may be necessary\nin order to help the actual worker on the\nland in his struggle for ownership, We are\nnot in this position yet, But, with twenty,\none per cent, of our Ontario farms under\nrent, and with the tenancy systeu. extend*\ning, it appears quite probable that in process of time we shall approach it. Meanwhile, it is important to observe lhat Canada has twice already come to the relief of\ntenants, and that at this moment there is a\nstrong invitation to one of our Legislatures\nto extinguish a system of farm rental that\nnourishes in a distant part of thc country.\nOUR TIRST EXPLOIT\nin tho way of abolishing the landlord was\nmade when we disposed of the seignorial\ntenures of Lower Canada. Here was a\npeculiar system. The seigneur was practically a baron, or lord, who drew stipulated\nsums from the cultivators around him. He\nreceived not merely his annual rental, but,\nin addition, a large proportion, one-twelfth\npossibly, of the amount that waa paid in tho\nevent of u transfer of the property from one\nlandowner to another. Tlie destruction of\nthis lordship, with its large profits, was no\neasy matter, for it was recognized that the\nseigneurs, us well as the cultivators, had\nrights that called for recognition. Parliament settled the question satisfactorily to\nall by capitalizing the annual rental payable\nto the seigneurs, and allowing the occupier\nto buy the soigueur out at this figure. The\nnext case which arose was that of Trince\nEdward Island, Tbis had been given to\nsome of our English friends, who leased ic\nto the ialandera for farming purposes at a\nrate por acre. In this particular instance\nthe landlord plan waa\nAOCKAVATEIi BY THE EVIL\nof which Ireland has complained, namely\nabaentooism. When Confederation was\nmooted the islanders saw in the union with\nCanada an opportunity to rid themselves\noi their maaters. Tncy seized the chance.\nCanada assisted in the financial part cf the\nproceeding, and the province did the legislating. In a short time a valuating commission passed through the is laud setting\na pries UP0D all the real estate. The\nabsentee owners weie compelled to accept\nthe figure, and when tbey had accepted it\nthe island was irce. To thia day the farmcra have been clearing up their indebted\"\nnesa on the instalmeut plan. It ie rather\nremarkable that while these successful efforts havo been made iu tbe east to relieve\nlhe tiller of thc soil, the islands of the\nGulf, known as the Magdalcns, should\nhave been overlooked. These islands so\nfar away from us,\nARE HKAl'TIITL SPOTS,\nthickly populated, and fairly prosperous.\nBut they belong to a certain Col. Coffin,\nnow living iu France, whose immediate ancestors secured them as n grant from the\nCrown for his ccudu.-t during the revolt:,\ntionary war. It was the custom of those\ndays lo reward the bravo with slices cf\nterritory in distant parts, so that when the\nland should be occupied the workers thereon might become contributors to the fortunes of the gallant poaacssor, hia heirs and\nassigns for ever. The honest Aauliuns,\nliving on tho Magdalcns, have worked well\nfor the Coffin family. But tbey havo just\nintimated to the legislature uf Quebec that\nthe family , although owning much land,\ndeclines to pay upou its property the regular taxation, and threatens to raise all\nthe rents unlets exemption or a very great\nreduction is concede\". Under these circumstance thc islander* want Quobeo to\nbuy out Col. Coffin, who is a dead weight\nto them, and to sot them up in business as\nproprietors. There ia justice in tho island\nproposition, It seems ridiculous that r\ngentleman residing a; Boulogne, und drawing from this side of thc ocean a large income for doing nothing, should bc ab!c to\nresist taxation.\nThese land troubles and the settlements\nso far reached with reference to them indicate that we arc quite ablo in this\ncountry to deal with any other dilliculty of\nthc same kind, when, in the oourso of\nhu.uan ovents, it happens to arise.
