There were two addresses. Rev. F. Carpenter gave a brief historical sum- Jpai-y of the leading events that featured the diplomatic relations between the two countries, as affecting Canada, and Rev. G. W. Blake preached a masterly Hcrmon bearing on the present European war, taking as his text, "Nevertheless we, according to his m-m-niwe, look for new heavens .and a- hew earth whereindwclleth righteousness." While not caring to 'attribute.'the accomplishment of the one hundred years of peace solely to tho fact that the two nations involved spoke the same language, Mr. Blake ompl.asiw.d the fact that, undoubtedly tills similarity of spee-di had been a factor Jo bringing about tho century of harmony and goodwill.

The will was proved with the aid of two witnesses, tire captain and the first officer of the Dorothy. __, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ucx j* a .' seen a negro eetore. tie coma not shake oS the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ussr illc-tcal imt*rss- sioa he had that somehow there was some connection between the colored chauffeur of the car that had so nearly killed him. and this other colored man sitting munching bread and j through the box-wood hedge, he found cheese by the wayside. ; himself in sight of a curirms' scene.

He had seemed big enough white sitting, but now that he was standing up he showed himself quite, a giant, over-topping Hugh's great height by at least three inches, his chest and shoulders broad and massive in proportion. "Why do you want to know that, sir?" he asked iu tones whose very softness held a menance. "Never mind why," said Hugh and threw him half-a-crown. "I'll give you a sovereign for what you can tell me." The man picked up the half-crown and pocketed it "Come and sit by me." he said. "Thank you," returned Hugh, on his guard, for though he was neither nerv- our nor suspicious he recognized something coldly threatening in the negro's tones. "I can stand very well. Do you want to earn mv sovereign or not?' The negro gave a swift look round to make certain there was no one in sight. "Yes, I want it." he said, "and I'll cut your throat to get it!"

Germany's total export trade to Argentina in 1912 amounted to nearlv $62,000,000 as compared with about $116,000,000 for Great Britain and about $2,250,000 from Canada. Brazil bought from Germany in 1912 goods to the "value of $160,000,000 as compared with $235,000,000 from Great Britain and $3,400,00 from Canada. The opening of Canada, in securing markets in Argentina and Brazil to replace German goods are many. They include manufactured timber canned goods, paper and wood pulp, manufacturers of iron and steel, agricultural machinery, cement, furniture and pre- i served fish. men the women did their share not only by encouragement but by raising of money for the relief of the wives and others left behind, by visiting these other women and using influence in many cases to help them, and by sending medical and other supplies to the contingents in South Africa. Almost immediately after Canada began to-take an active part in the South African war the Montreal-Herald made the suggestion that a patriotic fund should be' started for those in need. It was the idea of the Her- ajd, but it was adopted at once by the Montreal Star, and the larger and. wealthier newspaper henceforth conducted the campaign for funds, ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½to which great numbers of women and children contributed. In October, 1899, Mrs. Hutton, wife of Major-General (now Sir Edward) Hutton, then commanding the Canadian militia, organized the Soldiers' Wives League, under the patronage of Lady Minto, wife of the then governor- general. The object of the league was to bring the wives of ail soidiers in Canada, of every rank, into close touch and sympathy, for mutual aid and assistance in times of distress and difficulty. Systematized aid was arranged by the league for the families of the men who formed the Canadian contingents for active service in South Africa. The -president ot the league was Mrs. Drummond, wife of Major (now Brig.-Gen.) Lawrence Drummond, then military secretary to the governor-general, and the., secretary was Mrs. Cotton. In Montreal, Mrs. W. D., Gordon, wife of Colonel Gordon, who himself saw service in South Africa, was at the head of affairs, and Mrs. Minden Cole was secretary. Quebec and Winnipeg also formed branches. It is exceedingly likely that when the Canadians go to the front; the league will jiow be revived. * It was-jn February," jj.900,. that Mrs. Clark Murray, wife of .t-rofessor uiark Murray, of McGill University, founded the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire, with juvenile branches CLOTHESPIN IVIACH.NE8 What Happens When a Log* of Woofl ' Starts-* Throt*flh Them Making clothespins is an'industry that ne,ts handsome returns to many, American factories: At'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½MftTtiRSViUa- In'tli,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½' thereiis a factory which has * capacity of more than 200,000 clothespins a day.

Antwerp appears in history as early as .the seventh century. A century later it was an important port and market town. In the twelfth century it was commercially prosperous and under the rUle .of the dukes of Burgundy, who at times aspired not only to the throne of France^ but harbored designs on tbjeA erowir'"of England. In the fifteenth century Antwerp was one of the most important marts in Eur- op e. the entering point for English and continental trade. In: the sixteenth century, under the rule of Charles V. it was the seat of the Han- seatic League and the money depot of Europe. In" 1584-5 it was besieged, taken and ruined by tho Dake of Alva. In 1794 the French took the city and. restored its prosperity. Napoleon the. Great attempted to make it riva,!

"Delia," Hugh cried again, ('leave hold of that man!" The girl obeyed and sank back into her chair, still shaking with the wild extremity of her fury. She was quite young, of a pretty, fair type, with blue eyes, a perfect complexion, and light brown curly hair, and with absolutely nothing in her ordinary expression, unless it was a certain occasional dilation of the eye, to indicate the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½furious and uncontrolled temper that sho possessedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½or rather, that possessed her.

An illustration of this fact lies in the story that was told about a man who once owned a carrier pigeon-ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½one of those pigeons which, no matter where it went, could always be relied upon to come back. This gentleman was talking one day with a friend of his and he said: "What do you suppose happened to ihat pigeon of mine? I was talking with a fellow the other clay about him, and made the remark that this p.gcon always came back no matter where he went, and he said that ho did not believe it. Ho said that ho could take that pigeon to Philadelphia and ho would be willing to hot me $100 that the pigeon would not come back inside of twenty-four hours. I told him that I would take aim up. Well, sir, ho took the pigeons down to Philadelphia, and what do you suppose he did?" "I can't imagine," said the friend. "Didn't ho let him loose In Philadelphia?" "Oli yes, ho let him loose; hut be- roi'6 he lei him loobe he clii-ped iho pigeon's wings." "Well, that was too bad," said the friend. "Then you lost your bet, and the pigeon didn't como back?''

There are chapters all over Canada/and in the United States there are 400,000 British women enrolled under its name. A large number of women were deeply interested, also, in the Canadian branch of the British Red Cross* Society. TTiis was organized in 1897 by Lieut.-Coi. George Sterling Ryer- son, M.D., of Toronto, and was tha first colonial branch of the society in any country. It will be remembered that during the war "Dr. Ryerson acted as British Red Cross Commissioner in South Africa. A great, many branches were formed in Canada, chiefly ia the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Women's committees worked industriously, sending supplies to the soldiers, and the button with the badge of the society was to be seen worn by sueli well-known Montreal women as Mrs. H. B.

The city's transit and other, coinmerceA of late years has run -well up over $1,000,000 a year. It has a large industrial quarter and is a diamond centre. The government of Antwerp is administered by a burgomaster, assisted by five assessors and a municipal council of 39 members. The-city's animal budiget is about $7,000,000. Its debt.is $60,000,000.

A Murder In 1870 Avenged in 19i4 An exceedingly sad story comes from the front. During the Franco-German war of 1870 the Germans, by their invasion of Alsace, spread untold miseries among the villagers, whose property they claimed. A certain well-to-do farmer named Haufi! became so much enraged by the plunder of his well- stocked farm that he shot dead two German soldiers. He was immediately taken outside his house - andv executed. In vain his wife begged for his life. She afterwards found their little boy-crying on the dead body of his father. "Mother," the child said, "when ! grow up I shall avenge father and shoot G.ermans." The widow, finding further abode in Alsace under German riile unbearable, emigrated to Belgium and set- tied near vise, where she took another farm. Her boy became a man, the father of a family, Including two boys, and for forty-two years his mother shared with him and her grandsons happy family life at Vise. Then camo the present war, and tho Gorman troops arrived in Vise. The Bolglan Inhabitants had just before destroyed a bridge over tho Mouse.

Both parable and proverb have im-. niortalized themselves in history. When the Scottish nobles met at Stirling in a body they proposed to take Spence, the obnoxious favorite of James II., and hang him and so get rid of him.

We grant you that if constituencies were only a few .miles square they would be still too large to receive from some members the personal attention they deserve, but hope this class of mis-representativs is noticeable more for his rarity than for his preyalance. Also, is Justice Macdonald prepared to suggest the particular quarter of Ymir to be tacked on to Nelson, to Kaslo, to Sloean, to Rossland? And if so can he guarantee that his reconstruction of these ridings ensures the return of the government candidate in each and every ono of them 6 And, finally, is he satisfied that Ymir's representative will be agreeable to quitting provincial political affairs, as would appear inevitable if his constituency disappears? Public life is attractive, and we hae oor doots about Mr. Schofield's willingness to be led as a lamb to the slaughterï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½unless something equally attractive is assured him. As a high court judge Mr. Macdonald doubtless possesses every qualification, but as a political strategist'ho. ia not in the same class with Justice Morrison, who foreRaw the futility (for political considerations) of wiping out a riding like Yniir and dividing it up with four others and, accordingly, recommended .retaining Ymir, stipulating that Trail by all moans bo kept therein. Imagine ono and the same mombor attempting to ropresent Rossland and Trail. Residents of tho Creston Valley, irrespective of polities, aro hoping that when the Redistribution Bill is finally passed that, failing aCres- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ini r-'niHtitihuioy, the Valley will bo included in a riding whose cdhipon- ent parts have interests in common with this, the front-rank agricultural centre of tho province. The list of meetings in connection ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ with the campaign 'planned by the! Dominion Government to assist agri- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ eulturists, stock'-'breeders and all other interested directly or indirectly in the productiveness of the soil in providing for such returns in 1915 as the worlds marketwill most demand, have been announced. The "conference" at Creston is fixed for Friday evening, March 5, at 8 o'clock prompt. There' will be three speakers at this meeting: W. T. McDonald, provincial live stock commissioner; P. H. Moore, superintendent of the Dominion Experimental Farm at Agassiz; and K. Cuthbert industrial commissioner of "Patriotism and Production" is the slogan adopted for this work. TJnder the former heading the speakers will explain that the success of the Empire in the .tremendous military task now before it depends to a very large extent or* the continued ability to. feed the men who are risking their lives in theimem oatuie 4r if.' Canada's: immense agricultural resour- cesAwill be taxed to the utmost. The boast that she is 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the granary of the Empire" will be put'to-the literal test. Tne speakers are expected to-inform, the agriculturists in each district having regard to the nature of the soil of that particular part of the country, what he should grow in largest quantities in order to best help his country in the present crisis. And in this instance, it is worth noting that peison- al and public interests go hand in hand for it is reasonable to suppose that, if the farmer produces much of what is most needed he is going to be the most successful,] These conferences with the people will be very informal and it is hoped that all ranchers within reasonable reach will make it a point of attending. It is a duty they owe, not only to themselves, but to their country. FRANK -H.

Jobe Makes Find in dPhibii wmuiihuic* A mountain, 11,000 feet high, which Miss Mary.Li.Jobe, explorer-instructor in history at Hunter college, New York, believes has never been mapped, was discovered by her in the- wilds of British Columbia and a report concerning it will be made to the Canadian government and to tlTe National Geographical society. Miss Jobe located the mountain, to which she will give a Cree Indian name, as about 150 miles north of Mt. Robson. The topographical survey of Canada extends to a point only a few miles north on Mount Robson. Miss Jobe and several companions arrived at the foot of the newly-discovered mountain on Aug. 22, and began the ascent in a heavy snowstorm After covering six miles tney wero forced to return to camp for food. A flock of grouse enabled them to provision and the ascent wsï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½s ^egun once more.

Better quarters, more palatable foods, greater care and some of the luxuries of life will do much to overcome the detrimental effects to bring them back to liberal yielding again. Animals that are taken from congenial quarters and 'placed in a humble home among stock that ia poorly kept seem to lose their pride and power of production. There is little difference between the feelings of man and animals and the mora humanely the animals are treated the greater will be the profits derived from them.

Vegetables as Medicine Spinach is rich In iron, and good for anaemic persons, though it should , be avoided by those who have any tendency to liver troubles. Asparagus can scarcely be classed as a medicine, though it is said to be good iu cases of palpitation and a sedative ia affections of the heart. It seems to be rarely prescribed in the present day however.

There are few things that this accomplished king cannot do or hasn?t done. He fights, rides, swims, shoots, and engages in aviation, engineering and writing with equal facility. He was an ordinary newspaperman for a long time, carrying a police card, visiting police stations and. doing what would be known here as. "ship news." A s a; reporter; it is said," he was a ''snappy" worker, who scored many beats and obtainedy tiihelypictures. Possibly his stay in America in 1888j when he little dreamed of being king, ^gjjve him the training necessary to set a new standard for quicK newspaper work in Brussels and Antwerp. King Albert is more than six feet in height and has a fair complexion and golden hair. He is 39 years old, is unusually devbted and has three chii ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ dreri. He is the son of the deafyDuke of Flanders, and it was the mysterious death of his brother, the Prince of Baudoin, which made his accession to the throne possible. . In 1898 he came to America, and spent much time in New Ydrlc, Washington and the east, went west and stayed for months in St. Paul, Minn. While there he studied about every conceivable industry in the country,* On liis, return he wrote a book about America, which evidenced the fact that this idea of an ideal governme.it was ..the one his country had adopted. Having been a reporter for a long time, he saw tilings keenly and clearly, and being the only reporter" who is now a king, he has developed a sense of humor which is said to be the dread of his prosaic .cabinet miu- , Istcrs and his enemies, none of whom ! ever acquired that trait to such a considerable extent. The king, who is a great cyclist nnd an extraordinaryly brave man, went to tho Congo "and pierced that fever ridden country soon after his accession to the throne. The thing? ho saw there caused him to sell all oi his possessions of Belgium In that region after he had ameliorated the conditions under which the natives lived. ... The ono desire of tho king was to establish a merchant marine and. later a navy.

This pro- posal is embodied in an official circular which is being widely distributed and has for its immediate aim the calling of a meeting at some central point in the Canadian prairie west at f-ihich this object shall be discussed by representatives of the Dominion and provincial governments, the business and producing interests, as well as financial institutions; and the railways. A V ':- It appears the Regiria board of trade has had a, definite plan under consideration for some time past.

At the present time Canadian cities are full of unemployed thrown oh their own resources through stoppage of railway construction, city building and the like.

The Turcos are the native black and yellow troops oï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Africa who live under the French flag. Many of them are of Arab blood and to fight is as natural for them as ..o eat.

In ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½the Franco-Prussian war, ^France called upon some of her legions from Algiers and if she had called iipbn more of them It is possible that the war would have had a different ending. At "Wisenburg the Turcos drove back the German infantry with heavy loss, and under McMahon at Worth they hacked their way through the solid German ranks. Although jtliey were not then fighting for; their fatherland the French blacks displayed all the qualities necessary in a soldier. Since then they have been brought closer to France. The policy of the French jgov- ernm?nt' has been to impress the natives in her colonies with the magnificence and imp ortane 3 of the French nation. Alt; is only- a few months.ago that, in pursuance of this wise policy, the French war office brought several'companies of Sehe- gambians to Paris.

There is no provision made for highway traffic. "The bridge is 88 feet'wide, and like the Forth Bridge in Scotland has a clear height above extreme highwater of 150 feet so as not to interfere with the passage of steamers to arid froja the port of Montreal. _ It' consist^ of two immense pairs of cantilevers, borne on two piers, in the river, with a suspended span between them. According to the "British Engineer," it .is as if two-third3 of the Forth Bridge were takeu except that it is built of plates and bars instead of tubes. The vertical post over the piers is the largest single piece of this type ever constructed. A The fabrication of the different pieces of ironwork has been going on for the last year and a half at the sliopyj of the St. Lawrence Bridge Company, Montreal, especially built for carrying out this work. i Some idea of the difficulty the contractors have had to contend with may be gained from the fact that, in addition to constructing *an entirely new plant for the work, they had to face the problemy, of cphEtructi.ng a bridge which has no" equal in bridge construction, with an untried equip mont. and a new organization. .Under these circumstances the difficulties of cbristrjtcting an ordinary Abridge which would have been great, were considerably increased y the unusually stringent specifications' govern- j ing the work and the unprecedehtad size of its members. ; Until the bridge is completed in 1916, the railway traffic between the north and south shores of the St. Lawrence, is to be handled by a special car ferry vessel just completed in England.

What we are afraid io do is to go on living. Instead of composedly and cheerfully taking up each day a task as the day appears we are trembling in anticipation of unimaginable scarcity and poverty. It is not hard times that we expect, we have them already. It is not simply hard timss 'made harder by war. We could understand that and meet it. It is times so stark and inflexible that iron is in comparison as a sponge and the traditional poker pliant as a thread.

Gerfnany has wittingly shut her eyes to the awful carnage of which the "French guns are capable, hoping to rush and capture them by infantry.

This is the question that military experts the world over are asking as they watch the mighty forces hurled at each other along the Franco-German frontiers. Both systems really date back to the time of the great Napoleon, after having boen (,ried out with varying success in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and in the Russo-Japanese war of 1905. While the Germans have powerful cannon and tho French have wonderful infantry, each army has boen built up on directly diverging and highly specialized lines. The Germans haye admittedly the best massed troops us tho French have admittedly the best arHllcry.

How many thousands of drilled black and yellow troops France could place in the field is not konwn, The army decree of December, 1900, undoubtedly contemplated the use of the native troops In Europe. By that order the French colonial army was reorganized, and while It was stated that the organization was chiefly for the defence of the colonies, it was provided that these troops irilght as called upon for service in any part of the world where French interests were nt stake. When the ' French brought the Turcos and Sphasl to Europe in 1870, there was very general criticism of the act, based upon the grounds that there was, something barbarous in the idea or pitting black men against whites. It was pointed out that the success of the blacks was a disastor to bo guarded against oven more than thoir failure.
