To tbe Editor Cranbrook Prospector: Dear Sir:— i want to avail myself of this opportunity to publicly express my appreciation of tbe manner iu which the citizens of Cranbrook supported tbe production by the local talent of the "Geisha," and tbe encouragement received, not only by attendance, but by applause and generous praise, is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction. Kvery member of tbe organisation, from the least to the greatest, deserves great credit for the manner lu which they acquitted themselves, and my warmest and sincere thanks are due tbem, as, without their kindly support and whole-hearted interest, success would uot have been attained. Each member of the orchestra is nlso entitled t" my warm thanks nnd appreciation us tbey played no small part, and tbeir co-operation and assistance added greatly to the musical charms of the production. In conclusion, I hope tbat this attempt is only a forerunner of greater things to be accomplished in tbe future, and that (Jranbrook will reap a decided benefit, and in giving utterance to these sentiments I know i\\x\\\\ well that every member ot the Cranbrook Operatic Society will sincerely re-echo tfiem.

May have General Election Possible Outcome of C.onsei valiic Opposition to Reciprocity Ottawa, May 10—There will be a general election in Canada before Christmas if tbc opposition clings to its avowed intention of obstructing reciprocity after the parliamentary recess is over, according to a high government otlicial. The great stumbling block in the way now is tbe enforced absence of Sir Wilfrid Laurier at tbe coronation and tbe iact that the Canadian west will be under-represented in parliament until there has been n redistribution of electoral divisions. This can not lie made until the census has been completed. The census figures will be available in October. If the opposition then is still obstructing reciprocity it is said a redistribution will be given precedence over reciprocity and election will follow. elled Marysville street, Marysville, West—Cut out and repaired Uaker Creek trail from Mea- cbem to summit.

A very interesting meeting of the Women's Institute was beld in the Presbyterian school room last Friday evening. There was a large attendance. The meeting was called to order by tbe president Mrs, B. Palmer who occupied the chair, and in a neat address presented the speaker for the evening Mrs. Ravenhill who lectured on '"ibe Object of tbe Women's Institute," as follows: " In the course of our travels we have found very nourishing institutes in some places, but there have been places we have visited where the poor Institutes are In thc last stue.es ot consumption, and iu one case We actually found death had taken place; and wbeu we arrl veil there was no Institute. "We are often asked what nre the objects ot tbe Institute. One of the objects is to uevelop home life. The difficulty we Mud in keeping young people happy in tbe family circle, is because everything else hns gone on aud developed but home life, which for some reason or otber bas remained where it was a thousand years ago. If we want to secure tbe prosperity of the borne und to maintain tbc interest of the young people we must go foi'ward in the home as we do outside tbe home. "Some young people look on housework as needing no Intelligence, If homes arc to be intelligently directed they call for intelligence and study, which taxes women's brains and powers to the utmost. There must be a steady growing knowledge of the reasons why we do things. Why some food*is cooked in oue particular way and Borne in another. Experience has shown us that potatoes want cook lng In boiling water, and that an egg is more tender when It is not cooked ln boiling wnter. We would do our daily woi-k so much more Intelligently If we would study the reasons why, when dealing with our house hold duties, and try and perform them more intelligently, so that we may show girls as tbey grow up that . everything they learn In school can bo turned to account in their homes, "Why our home circles are not as happy as we would like them to be— Mothers, are tolling all day from morning to night and are too tired to take the Interest In the children that they ought, when they might save themselves a great deal of work and worry If they would use labor saving devices, of which thwe are so many to he had at very little coBt, dustleHs dusters for instance, and thoy would have more time to devote to their families. "We must have sympathy with our young people. Sometimes we lose this sympathy, and if We do so we cau never expect to leud tbem in their recreations and pleasures. Their constant craving for amusement seems exaggerated tu fis. Let uu bold tbeir confidence, and they will allow us to guide them in tbeir experience, and to check where check ng is advisable, and to encourage when encouragement is necessary. Do not let us shut our eyes to the temptations tlftt are surrounding them. Try und interest them n simple amusements ho that they will not have a craving for artificial amusements. "Uemembei the kindly word and welcome the newcomers into our circle und make a place for them." "The bruin is never too old to learn, and the more wc use it the more we get new ideas und turn them to use. To be the friends of the young people and to make our homes as charming us they should be it is always best to be open minded, and ready to receive new ideas aud new impressions, luul after we have | thought them out to tost them and 'see ir they are worth giving a lodging place in our minds or easting aside."

Obarlos hldgar, who was on the Bland yesterday was again giving evi deuce tins morning, it<* spose ol the difficulty oi getting timber, uud lu having the track laid as it was need ed.

He bud left the urine iroquentiy foi want ol track ami timber, which were supposed to be kept on baud for him. Tbe records of the company showed that he had worked 208 days out of a possible 258 days the mine was operated. NUMBERING OF SHAMS. Mine Engineer J. R, Roaf wus called to testify as to the numbering ui the coal seams, some dlllerence being expressed regarding the identity of tue number one seam. Mr. Shanks stated tbat prices in number one south were ii'i cents per ton aud iu number two 00 cents. The number one south price was not according to the agreement, because it had not been working when tbe contract was made. Mr. Stookett put in a statement showing the earnings of each man in number two where the change from pillar to long wall was being made, The number of shifts lost did not appear, and the average daily per man was $8.79 the highest being $6.95, Thn. wae earned by Mr. Lyons. This work was started in March in 1910. There was some contention about tbe application of "the average to tbe whole of the district, and it came out that tbe statement contained tbe names of hut,25 men, while there were more men working in that section. Pit Boss James Lancaster stated that there were men coming and going often In thin part of the mine, but he could not tell from memory how many. NO FAIR AVERAGE. A. L. Carter heir stated that be 1 bought no fair average for that work could be struck from the state ment containing but 25 names. Mr. Lancnstcr stated to Mr. Stuhhs that be had gone to the check welghman to get the tonnage made by the men and hnd the pit committee assist him in determining the amount of makeup due to ihe men. Mr. Lancaster had worked as day digger in tbis mine four and live years before at 5H cents per ton, nnd had mude from four to six dollurs per shift. He thought men could make as much wages there now, but the earning power of money might be less, owing to the extra cost of living. He was now getting -$4.7.r. a day ami saving money. Manager Wilson here made a state ment tbat during the years 1909 and PJ10, number two mine hud produced 203,632 tons of coal at an average cost of $2,69 per ton, and that tbe average selling price bad been $_.-.», umkmt* u net loss per ton of 30 cents lu round numbers this loss amounted to (60,000. Mi. i.mu handed in ins memorandum of days lust during the year PUI tu which be had earned $1,045. Thu showed that there were 70 days Irtst, of which 30 days were on ac count of lack of railway cars. He bad lost other days on account ol guH, want ul timber and uf truck. He thought that at least six days were chargeable tu larity un the part of the management, but iu justice bis loss was much more than the t_*5 which the six days represented. ITALIAN'S EXPERIENCE. Nick MtflcLsco, an Italian miner, had experienced difficulty in having timber supplied and tracks laid as needed. He worked in number 6 mine. He bail to build cogs with timber that was often too large and he had to split it. Ile had built these cogs sometimes with lagging which be bad had to gather up about the plnce. In one month he bud to go borne at lease eight, tunes because of lack of timber or track or cars. He bail to get other diggers to help put up the heavy timbers. He had to make lagging to build cogs on top of pobts, and got, no extra pay for it. He had to throw coal a long way to the car, sometimes as far as forty feet. Mr. Wilson read a statement of the witness' earnings for 1910. This showed 100 days at au average of $3.00. Witness did not think this was quite correct. SIMILAR CONDITION. J. W. Cray, a member of tbe pit committee on grievances gave evidence which showed similar conditions as stated by previous witness lie stated that the men did not register complaints with the committee because of the prevailing opinion that kickers lost standing with the ofHcii- als. This statement, caused tbe chairman to comment upon It and he [stated that if such a condition existed it spoiled tbe usefulness of any committee. The witness had decline-, to answer a question and the chairman asked him if he would make a statement to him in private MT. Macleod thought any statement made should be tu the full committee, but the chairman said be would take the statement alone if the witness agreed to it. Another witness, Beattie, was on the stand and his evidence coincided with that given before by the others regarding lack of timbering, track, cars, etc. Tbe company records showed Gray's earnings to have been $790 during the last year, an average of $4.75. DISPUTED EARNINGS. Arthur Warring worked in No. 9 mine. Ile explained bow he had to throw coul forty feet at times to get it iu the car. This witnesu disputed the statement of bis earnings. In one month, March, when he began work on tbe 24th lie hail worked six dnys and had been credited with but live. Manager Wilson promised to look the matter up. Mr. Wilson stated that the earnings of the men in No. 5 mine for L910 averaged $3.80. Tbe last witness for tbc day waa Pit Doss Win. Wilson of No. 9. This Witness did not agree with the testimony of Beattie in some respects and at one time be told Mr. Stubbfl that it wns none of his business, wben that gentleman asked him n uueBtion. This brought the chairman un the scene at once and Wilson was told be could not use sucb language before tht board. Dr. Gordon tben asked the witness the question himself and he answered it. i The crowd was still greater than on the previous day and the interest seems tu grow with the progress of the inquiry.

The discussion of tbe matter of advertising Craubrook and district and the sewage nyiuw was the principle business oi the evening. In the matter ot advertising, Mr. Gurd, chairman uf the committee asked the Board how much tbey would grant for this purpose, ami hinted that the pamphlet should bu the best that could he produced in the city.

Never bad nature appeured to me more sweet. Tbe serene air, tbe beautiful shore, the balmy sea. tbe purple mountains, alt this picture to which my northern senses wer. so little accustomed, evoked in my miud the thought of some lender, caressing human being.

Paget, Who is to be successed by Hear Admiral Charles Henry Coke in the naval command of Ireland, has forty- six years' service in the British navy to his credit, Sir Alfred waa first in action in the Egyptian war of 1882, obtaining the tigyptian medal and the Khedive's bronz- star. Two years later he saw mor. active service in the Eastern Soudan, aud in 1888 was mentioned in despatches and promoted to the rank of commodore for his gallantry at Suakin. He haa since been naval attache in Paris, St. Petersburg, and Washington, and served in China in 1900-01. As commodore on the North American station, he took part in the negotiations Which resulted in the settlement of Vne Fre_nch claims in Newfoundland. All who have served with his speak in warm terms of Sir Alfred's abilities and his pleasant, genial manner when off duty. He o-ten tells a story of how a more than ordinary cheeky "middy" once scored off him. He happened to meet the youngster during a house party, and was criticising him in a friendly manner ior not having made better progress. "When I was your age I was a sub-lieutenant," he remarked. "Yes, sir," replied the boy, with an affection of simplicity, "but tben is it not a fact that the navy was never so efficient as it is to- dayP" Sir Alfred is a younger brother of the popular Gen. Sir Arthur Paget, whom he resembles in many ways, and he married in 1906 Miss Viti Macgregor, eldest .daughter of Sir W. Macgregor. Admiral's Taunt. The new commander-in-chief a* Portsmouth, Admiral Sir Arthur Moore, although noted for his sarcasm, is one of the most popular officers in the navy. Some years ago, when second in command of the old Channel fleet, one of his toTpedo destroyers answered its helm so badly that on more than one occasion it narrowly escaped a collishm with the other vessels of the fleet as they proceeded on their way down the channel. The admiral watched it, and then signalled to the unlucky commander aud apologized for being in rather narrow waters at the moment, but assuring him that if he could only keep his vessel from bumping into the rest of tlie fleet for a short time longer, he would soon have the whole of the Atlantic Ocean to manoeuvre in. On another occaaion whtfe the hie funs of his ship were being practiced at ilouting targets, one gun made a very bad miss. The captain of the gun in question was at once summoned to thc admiral's speaking-lube to receive a gentle inquiry to the effect that did he suppose the Lords of the Admiralty supnlied him with livt shell fnr tne sole purpose of ahootinp mackerel? The captain oi the gun, however. had a speedy revenge, for his next shot knocked the target to pieces, aud so stopped the practice for the rest of the day.

Aiucrlcuu traveler, waa looking down over a low stone wall built for the protection of persons on the cliff above, when he saw a young girl washing clothes In the sen. Being aoine 'Jul) feet above her, he could uot aee what she was like, but "distance lend* enchantment to the view," aud he could, even from that distance, de teet a certain .race In ber movements tie weut down ou to tba beach for a ueurer view. Ile found a girl of (ifteen. though at that age and even much younger an Italian girl Is a woman. She |hm sensed the dark hair and eyes of her people and a good Hgure. Ber arms, frum exposure, were brown, but they were shuiiely Wilcox watched her for a time, then walked past her and amlled at her. He not only smiled, but •poke to her. fur he knew something of tbe Italian lituguuge. He learned that her name was Marie aud her father waa a fisherman. After a brief chat he returned to lhe town above. But the next morning be looked down again over the wall. and. although be knew he would be playing with edged tools, seeing Marie be low, be yielded lo a temptation to go down again and have a few words with ber. This lime the girl met bim with a smile Indicating that she waa very much pleased that he bad come again. Uu tills visit he talked to ber longer than before. Wilcox continued these visits. He found a wineshop down among these fishermen's quurtcra and would go lu there for a liter of wine and to smoke. Sometimes he would take Marie In to hare a glass with him. There was nothing unusual lu this In Italy. The Italian wines have very little alcohol to tbem and are drunk by tbe womeu and children the sumeaa the men. Be aides, a wineshop In Italy Is a very Afferent affair from a saloon In Amer Ilea, The landlord of the botel where Wll cox waa stopping knew nothing of his descents lo tbe tlsliermra's quarters or he would have warned bim against going there. The young man mention ed the matter to no one. He knew be i was taking a risk, but not bow much of a risk. Besides, he waa a fearless fellow and at un age where a man of courage Is more apt to court than avoid danger. Nevertheless be did not sufficiently realise tbe position In which he waa placing himself to go armed. One night Wilcox went down to the beach and. culling fur Marie at her father's cottage. Invited her to go for * ride out on the water in ber father's boat, tbe father to sail it. Marie trans raltted the request lo her father, wbo agreed to Ihe plan. Indeed, no one had manifested a desire to interfere With Wilcox's attentions to the girl. Whether those nearest her were expecting lo get money oui of the Americano ur whether tbey were permitting her to lure him Into a position where they could rub him didn't matter to him, bent aa be waa on enjoying ber •oclety. After a couple of hours' sail tbe party returned to tbe abore, and Wilcox asked tbe father and daughter to go Into the wlneabop for refreshment. The father declined for both himself and bis daughter, saying It was late and he must be up early In tbe morning to begin bis day's fishing. Wilcox bade them good nlgbt, and, as It was early for him. went into the wlneabop alone for hia tipple and bla amuke. There wns no one In the place except the woman, who set the wine he- fore the American und left bim. There waa a .replace lu tbe room, and, tbe nights being chilly In Italy, Wilcox recalled her and usked ber lo bring la a few fugois and build a Ore. She waa surprised ut the request, for fuel la enormously expensive In Italy; but. knowing bim to be an American, which to these people means having plenty of money, she acceded to bla request Wlicox sat down before tha 0re witb the wine beside bim and drank and amoked and, without Intending -It, fed aali«p. He awoke with a aturt. Whut caused him to feel thut he was lu dunger he did not know. It might have been a blow that was tlirenteuing bim or it might have been Ibe fact of a audden realisation that be had been ever since he first saw Marie taking a frightful risk. In any event be was conscious tbut death was In tbe room. The fagots had burned out. There was a bright light oear the entrance, which elinne on Wilcox's back and which cast a shadow on tbe wall directly ever the tircpluce. The shadow waa that of a figure with the right arm raised above tbe head. The shadow test hv the end of this arm wai dloV colt for Wilcox to make out. II seem ed to be a poluled stick held by a fist The mind works quickly In tbe presence of danger, real or fancied, and In a fraction of a second be had deter ruined that a man wua behind bim with bla right hand raised and holding a dagger. "Senora!" cried the American sharp. ly, calling to the woman win i'l nerved the wine. The shadow dickered aud disappeared. There waa no reply to tbe summons, and the young man called again: "Senorar Presently the woman, yawning, .-uie slowly Into the room. "I Hud myself, senora." aald Wilcox, "with not even mouey enough about me to pay you for tbe wine 1 have or* den-. Huve you uny one here wbo will go up to my hotel with a check, get It cashed by the landlord and bring tue Hie money?" "Yes. senor. bnt yon can aa well pay fnr tbe wine when you come for more." "No. senora; I go away early In the morning to Naples. Besides, there aft other payments I wish to make down here amoug you good people. 1 Intended to bring mouey, but forgot It* "Very well, senor. If you desire It I will send my son. Ue Is In bed, bnt I can a waken hlin." Wlicox took n blank check from bla [Hirtmuiitean and filled a check for »UU lira 1*100, and wrote on the back of it a request to the landlord of his hotel to send hlin the money It called for by hearer. Then he gave It to the luudlndy, und, ordering another litre of wine nod llghtiug a clgurette. lie made It ap|H>ur that he would awult the return of his messenger. Hut lie hud no idea of waiting for tbe mouey. lie knew the mau who was ubout to kill bim wben he awoke from sluuilier would waylay Ihe boy who had gone for It Possibly others who l.uew of Ihe fact lhat SOU lira wus io be carried at midnight from the town dowu lo tbe fishers' village would also muke an attempt to up proprlute It There was still another possibility. The landlord might sur mise that bis guest hud beeu cornered und required the money for a rausum In ibis event be might have tbe messenger shadowed on bla return by a policeman. Wlicox realized the fact that be was at the Ushers' village near 12 o'clock al night where It waa aa dangerous to retuuln as to climb to the top of tbe cliff. He kept his eye on tbe wall for awhile, but, seeing uo reappearance of tbe shadow, finally arose from his chair aud paced the lloor, castlug glances at the entrances of lbe room. Presently he walked out the door through wblcb (he landlady bad gone uud mude bis wuy luto u kitchen. There, umotig oth* er things, lay a carving knife with a long, thin blude and u sharp point. He grasped It uud for tbe first time since he bud seen tbe shadow drew a breath of relief. So fnr us be knew, no oue suw him take the knife, and, couceul Ing It uuder bla cout he went buck Into tbe room he bad left. Wlicox was uncertain what to do. Bhould he remain where be waa till day, ur should be risk going up to tbe town with no other defense than a carving knife? If beset, lt might be by several persuns. If be remained where he wus, lu case of attack be might put bis buck against a coruer of the room and stand off a number uf assulluuts. Kvery vestige of recklessness had deserted him. He wus mad, lighting mud. bul lu that state a mau'a faculties are often tbe sharpest He resolved to. stay where be waa. Sufficient time for a messenger to go to tbe hotel and return bad elapsed. Wilcox had no Idea that tbe messenger would come back or. If be did come, tbat be would have tbe money with bim. He wua not thinking of bla BOO lira, which be would be glad to pay for bla life. He waa wondering If Ihe man whoae ahadow be bad seen or some one else bad appropriated it. Thla occupied bla thoughts wben suddenly tbe outer door waa opened and In stepped two persona Tbey were a boy of fourteen and— Marie! Marie, approaching Wlicox, handed him an envelope containing tbe money be had sent for. He looked at her, plainly asking with hia eyea an explanation. "I knew, signer." said Marie, "tbat there la one who since you first spoke to me Is Jealous of you. I found tonight thut he would attack you and watched tbe place. 1 aaw bim come In here and followed him. 1 beard you call for a messenger to go for money. I did not believe Giovanni would rob, but I thought It best to go with tbe boy. Giovanni disappointed me. He waylaid ua and demanded the money, but wben he knew I bad It be upbraided me nnd went away." "So you are disappointed In your lover, Marie—tbut be should rob, but not tbat be should murder?" 'The one wus for mouey end tbe other for love." "I aee. There is a great difference." Tbe matter beiug explained, Wilcox lost his apprehension Since there appeared to be bnt one mnn coucerned. he resolved, armed with tbe carving knife he had captured, to go up to bis botel. Having paid bis record, he set out In the darkness and arrived without being molested. The nexl day Wlicox sent a note to the father of Marie that he would fur nlsh tbe meuns to send tbe girl tc school Tbe offer was nccepted. and ahe went for three yeara lou convent at the end of which time sbe married and emigrated to America. Wilcox al lhe request of the girl wb> had saved htm did not report the mat ter to tbe police. Quair Ornaments. Thc Langos, a native tribe inhabiting the region east oi the Victoria Nile, in Africa, wear some peculiar ornaments. Iron, or sometimes, brass bauds arc worn on the arm. These are put on when the penon is young and as the arms grows the muscles 'ire forced into unnatural bunches. Lip ornaments, usually of glass filed down from pieces of broken bottles, are worn in the lips. The hole into which such ornaments nre inserted is from a quarter to half an inch below the lower lip. Tile pointed end of the glass is outside, while the thicker end is pressed through the opening in tlie lip and lodges against the lower incisors. Why Not? Main street was ln extraordinary confusion. Piles of stone along the car tracks, exposed rails and slowly creeping trolleys showed that some extensive repair work was going on. "What are they doing*" said pretty Miss Nelly Jones to her practical uncle. "They are taking up some unused car tracks," he replied. "Can't you Beef" "Why, yei," she said, "bnt how funny I I should think that they would take up the vied ones." MONTREAL'S ART SHOW. It Started In thi Fartln and la Still Growing. The spring exhibitions ot the Montreal Art Association are the outcome oi shows which were organised chiefly ty ttui'iteurs about the forties, wlieu the British soldiers were there, says M. J. Mount in The Canadian Century. Among these military men many were talented, especially the engineers, who were all draughtsmen. These were later recalled to be sent to the Crimeu. Most of the oflicers stationed here and tiieir families were persons of high education and taste. This naturally assisted the people ill their efforts toward elevating thu standard of society, and tiierefore any endeavor towards tlie tine arts met with great encouragement. Kvery year they had a small exhibition of paintings, drawings and so forth, to encourage and bring forward tlu local talent and to enable comparisons to be made between their work und thut of other contributors. These werc small beginnings, a few pictures, a tew drawings, still they were the pioneers of art in Canada, and wu owe to them what we have now. Those exhibitions were organix- cd and judged by tlie early patrons of art, who every year gradually became more discriminating. Such men were the forerunners of tlie Art Association, which was otli- dally organised in IHUtl, and ever since, the Spring Exhibition has been an anxiously expected event by artists and by the artistically inclined public. A writer lias said: "Probably many ot the pioneers who led the way and opened a path fur the arts in our country hud little merits as artists, but they are objects uf CUriout inquiry t.i us of the present duy. fur us we earnestly desire to kilow every particular relative to the first settlers who raised the stuudurd ot civilization iu tire wiiderness, so the same rational desire is felt, especially by artists, to learn who were their predecessors, who raised und who supported the standard of taste and decorated th' social column with its Corinthian capital." 'iu these annual exhibiti'ins all artists may send pictures, but no work is admitted which lias been exhibited before in Montreal, tlie aim beiug to urg < artists to new efforts. It will be at once remarked that there is u great unevenness in the quality uf the work. This is tlie re- sul. of the peculiar conditions surrounding the exhibition. Amateurs of more than usual merit are encouraged to exhibit, as are also students. As years go by the standard is much higher. Nevertheless their work is not judged from such a high standpoint us the work of the professional artists. The Council of the Art Association usually cull in two or mure artists ol reputution to assist them in judging tlie pictures. The technical side is considered as well as the general ar- tistic value. Leniency is shuwn tu amateurs and tu promising students — but woes to them if they do not improve from year to year, for they may not pass the committee. lt is not easy for outsiders to appreciate the really great progress made, but to one following the exhibitions carefully every year the progress is remarkable. Vear by year new names are being added to the roll ot acknowledged leaders. Besides our veteran Harris we have Brymner, Cullen, Suzor-Cute, Morrice, Heber,t, Hammond, Graham. Reid, Brownell, Clupp, Laura Muntz, Florence Curlyle and others. The educational advantages given to the children as well as to tiieir elders in visiting these exhibitions cannot be over-estimated, for the study of works of art elevates the taste lor all things good aud beautiful. As Ruskin says; "To cultivate sympathy, you must be among living creatures, and thinking about them; and to cultivate admiration, you must be among beautiful things and looking at them." Concurrent Sentence!. There is no one who enjoys a joke more than James P. Huverson, and no one who scents one on himself quicker than the same "Jimmy." It is a clever man who is able to put one over on him. But Mt. D. C. Hos- sack, now a lawyer, though formerly a minister, turned the tables on his fellow-lcgalite not a great while ago. Mr. Haverson approached Mr. Hns- sttck with words to the eflect that he wished spiritual advice trom the ex- Treacher whom he said he regarded as is father-confessor. "In the course of my defence of my clients, the hotelmen," he said, "1 have to tell the same lie over and over again. Now, suppose I have told a lie fifty times, will I be punished in tlie hereafter for one lie or lor fifty lies? Perhaps you better take a day or too to think over that question before you answer it." "No need to do that," responded Mr. Hossack. "The answer is a very simple one. You will be punished for everyone you tell, but if it is any consolation to you to know it the sentences will run concurrently."—Toronto Star.

Thi Voti en a Big Question Usually Comes Late at Night or In the Early Morning, and It It a Moment j af Rial Excitement — During the Anembling of thi Members a Singer Is Requisitioned. Except when members get cureless with the epithet "liar" or u scandalous disclosure is in progress the House of Commons' routine is rather a dull thing, but there is one time when hearts are dancing and nerves are tightly strung. That is when a long debate reaches an end and u momentous division is Imminent Tlie house has Bat ull day anC speaker after speaker has had his say Bix o'clock comes and tin' speech- making is not yet ot an end. By a •landing rule the House then rises for tne dinner recess. There is no adjournment. When the hour urriv, ■ the Speaker rising, interrupts the proceedings, suying, "It being six o'clock. I now leave the cliuir." Preceded by the Sergeunt-nt-aruiB hearing the mace he marches off to his apartments, and the members pour out into the vestibule. At eight o'clock tlie galleries are again titled; the Speaker takes the chair; he culls. "Order," and the mom. ber who had the door ul six o'clock lakes up the thread uf !,|s speech where it was broken by the dinner recess. The night wears on. the big hell in the tower solemnly rings out midnight, but the end is not yet. And then follow the most wearisome portion of an all-night slttlng-the time between two o'clock and lour These hours always Boom to drag, and sleep seems ever to be beckoning the mnm. bers to rest. At an ordinary all-night Jitting many do sleep, curled up in their chairs with huts pulled down over their eyes, or with heads pillow. ed on their arms reclining on their deBks. But not so on n great division night. Nerves are then too tightly strung and interest too keen. The House may be weary, but it is vers wide awake. The night wears away and the grey light of the early spring morning begins to pour in through the beuutifnl •tamed glass windows. The end is at band. The Speaker is always readv to put the question should the talk- Ing cease, and now his opportunity comes. The last debater resumes his •eat. no one rises to follow, and in •n iiiBtnnt the Speaker is on his feet prepared to put the question. lhe Speaker puts the question "The rote Is now on the amendment " he •ays. if such be the case. "Those in favor of it will say aye." A shout goes up from the support- •rs of the question; and when It ha< died^away he askB those against it to •ay no. Then' is another shout, this I me from the opponents of the ques tion. The theory the Speaker is sun posed to decide according to the vol ume of sound; in practice he really decides that the shout of the known majority is the louder, and he, there, lore, gives his opinion that the ayes or the "noes" have it," as the case may be. Then is the time for the minority or at least the side against which tlie Speaker has given an opinion, to de niand a formal division, when the votes of the members will be recorded by name. This is done by the members desiring a diviBion rising to their feet. It must be demanded hy ut lea- There is more cheering, and then SUmed a more or less culm expression the Prima Minister presents the nm- when their bags uud speurs had been tion that Is Qiirriud unanimously.

When those in favor of the amendment have voted, the Speaker calls upon those against the amendment to rise, the Prime Minister, of course, voting first. Then come the Ministers in the front row, aud then ruw after row. T.ie clerk now counts the votes trom the lists of names he has scored.

Why, should her product not come on to the Canadian breakfast table, especial* ly since the treaty engineered by our high-elans diplomats, Messrs, Fielding aud Brodeur, went into effect, and a speeial subsidized Bteamsh-p service between Havre and Canadian ports was inaugurated? If Henri llourussa or \\rumnd Lavergne were now in Parliament, one could well imu trine what "wigs there would be on the green" about thia.

Their occupation will soon disappear. —Saturday Night. Prospectors Curssd Him. Last summer the prospectors were cursing Father Paradis, the famous priest-prospector of Northern Ontario, "loud and deep." Frederick Hou?" Lake was lowered seven feet, and Night Hawk Lake 3 1-2 feet. Navigation was very much in the mud. It seems Father Paradis had been util Mm. his engineering ingenuity to drain the swamp lands—do away with the black flies. Incidentally it also further exposed the vein of the Ben Trovuto nt which they were working. He dug a little trench for the water to break through an old natural dam in the Frederick House River. Erosion soon widened the channel, and a fall of some considerable height was transferred into a gradual current. Water receded from Frederick House Lake until the trees stood the width of a good farm from the waves Cannes could not get near the lauding places. Gasoline boats bumped on the cloy bottom of the river. The Government sent an official up there to find out the cause of all the complaints. Father Paradis showed him nis work with pride, pointed out the beauty oi his improvements, and con vincd bim of what was perfectly true, that owing to the work of beavers in the old days the land of ull that country is insufficiently drained. The streams are choked. The land is soaking wet. His channel was for the general benefit of the whole coun. try, and performed without expense to the Government. The inspector viewed the magnitude of the erosion into the soft mud, and allowed himself to be convinced. He reported in Father Paradis' favor. Shooting by H. M. S. Neptune.

Y, M. C. A. Bowling League Individual Standing of Players to May loth inclusive The famous whipping case of Slater vs. Watts came up for hearing a second time in Nelson yesterday morning before Mr. Justice Murphy and a special jury. The gallery was (tiled throughout the day, during wit. i the examination in chief and part of the crosa examination of William Sinter, fathet of the hoy who was iae subject of the "ancient whipping post" incident ut Wattsburg two years ago was completed with an ent"er crowd of listeners of both sexes. The case commenced soon after 11 o'clock and the examination of William Slater by 0. 13. MeTasgart, the council for plaintiff, was roncluded before three o'clock in thc pfternoon, when the cross-examination of tho witness hy A. E. Watts, the defend ant who appeared in person, commenced and wan uuhnlshed when adjournment was taken at six o'clock. Tbo evidence aud the cross-examination followed similar lines to lhat of the former trial here last spring hut was marked by a number of requests which of several occasions were of lhe nature of warnings, to tho defendant to keep the case as far as possible within the hounds, of legal precedent, The flrst point that, arose was the question of excluding witnesses from the court room. Hia lordship gave the usual onler at the request of the defendant and Mr. McTaggart then raised tho question nn to whether Robs .Slater, an infant, was In n position ol a witness or plaintiff. During the disrusslon his Inrush!p snid to Mr. Watts: "I want you to under. stand, Mr. Watts, at the beginning of tin.- trial that while I will give you all possible latitude the rules of tho court must he observed. There has beeu om mis-trial; there shall not be another it t can help it. 1 can not permit any obita dicta." The cross- examination uf Mr. Dlater waa enlivened hy similar remarks by hia lordship. The action is for unstated damages fm injury to the feelings and re] ita tlon ot young Ross Slates, who was whipped at the flagpole at Watts burg by Mr. Watts, iu April 1909. BOY'S FATHER EN BOX. William Slater, father of young Ross Slater, was the first witness called, With his son, he said he was working in a sash and door factory al Wattsburg in April 1909. Usually on Saturday night witness ahd his sou would go io Oranbrook foi the week end, driving a horse ami buggy which belonged to them, This horse was quartered In a building belonging to Mr. Watts. Near this place was a stable where Miss Eva Watts kept a pet pony. Ite tween the. place where witness' horse wns kept and the plnce from (which his son obtained hay for the horse was the stable in which was 'kept Miss Walls' pony. Later the ■ boy wns employed on a greenhouse ! near Mr. Watts' house. The flrst he heard of thc whipping I incident wns when his son came to him and said that Mr, Watts wished 'to see him and mentioned thnt he had been whipped. The conversation j referred to t_iok placo In the board- I lng house, through one window of which some ol the men eating ootid see the Hag pole. Tbe boy when be entered the boarding bouse was crying, Together thej went to Mr. Watts bouse, where they met Mr. Watts and lus two Bona, Tadd) and Frank in the sitting room. Mr. Watts told witness that had happened, saying that .he sou, Rosa bad done wrong, and p_"»>e wit- ... ; cession that "Ross had done wrong and had been caught In the act." Witness said Mr. Watts told bin: that he was a J. P, and thai he could give the boy twenty years. \\t that time, witness said, he knew nothing of the flagstaff Incident thinking that Mr. Watts had merely slashed the boy once or twice with a whip. STORY IS PUBLISHED, He first knew of the flagstaff Incident when he heard of thc story ap- ' peartng In the newspapers. He went Ito Mr, Watts and asked hun why he ; had published the news and was told by Mr. Wates tbat he, the defendant "had changed his mind." | The hoy was seventeen years of nge lat the time. Mr. Watts' daughter was about fourteen years of age. The colt was a pet and no restrictions as far ns he knew, were placed upon the employees regarding visiting it. Coining hack to his interview with Mi. Watts witness said that Mr. Watts gave him the impression that his son had committed a serious crime with his daughter, though la- tor he told witness that the hoy was "merely working up a case."

The substance of the message has been communicated to the lieutenant governor and it Is said his honor will before long be fully advised from Ottawa ns to tho probable extent of the stay of his excellency ami his party in this province, and the precise nature of the unexpected hut welcome visit. If the July visit Is to bo regarded as Bomi- privato, as was his excellency's last year's visit, spent almost exclusively at tin vice regal camp near Windermere, it Is expected that hospitalities hero will he limited to possibly a largo garden party at Government houae, with u few state dinners, or informal lunches, etc. If, however, the promised visit is to he taken as official and in the nature of a leave taking to British Columbia a more formal nnd elaborate program of entertainment will quickly take form. THOUGHTFULNKSS. A graceful illustration of the unfailing thoughtfulness and invariable kltutilnoss of heart of Premier McBride was furnished just before the departure of the Prime Minister from tlie Capital, when in his capacity of Minister of Mines he had the pleasure of forwarding to Mr. John Cum- mings of 150-mile house, the fiftieth renewal of bis license as a free miner of British Columbia. Mr, Cummings was one of the old brigade through whose indomitable courage and strenuous endeavors the golden treasures of Cariboo were disclosed to the world, now half a century ago. He was indeed one of the original workers on the world famous "Cariboo Cameron's" claim, and ever since he has spent at least a portion of each year in prospecting the Cariboo montains for precious minerals. During hiB visit to fr/e Upper country last season, the Premier had the pleasure of meeting the old veteran of the mountains, Mr. Cummings being at tbe time in tbe government agent's office for thc purpose of taking out the forty-ninth renewal of his license. This year Hon. Mr. McBride anticipated the usual application of the pioneer argonaut and seut him the license renewal from departmental headquarters, accompanying it with a graceful personal letter in which the Premier's and Minister's good wishes were expressed in cordial and felicitous terms. . The Free Miner's license as it exists in British Columbia is u document carrying very extensive special privileges and wide authority. Armed therewith, one may even invade the sanctity of private property or of declared re- servos in quost of precious metal. Only last year bis late Majesty King i.dward VII. not only was the holder of a "ticket" accrediting him as a free miner of British Columbia, but the fee therefor duly proscribed hy Inw was charged in the usual course. This exceptional situation arose through the transfer to the Dominion government for park purposes of the famous Deutschmaun Caves, or Caves of Cheops, not far from Revelstoke, which had originally been taken possession of by the discoveres under and by virtue of bis miner's license. When the formalities of transfer to the Dominion obtained consideration, it wat found that serious obstacles presented themselves In the imperative dictates of the mining Inw, uud it was Anally determined to complete the transfer and transaction under that Inw, the caves being regularly located and subsequently Crown- granted to His Majesty, as represented in and by his government in Canadn, and the fees nnd costs attaching being subset)uently rebated by the Provincial authorities. The Premier, with Mrs. McBride and Mr. Lawrence Macrae, private secretary, left Saturday afternoon en route for London and the coronation. It will he the sincere hope of all British Columbians that their trip will be in every wny a delightful one, and thnt the summer vacation may prove of the greatest benefit to the bnrd working First Minister. An entirely spontaneous gnd very pleasing demonstration of Hon. Mr. McBrldo's great personal popularity was afforded during the last twenty four hours of his presence at. home, during which time he managed in the intervals between Items in clearing his desk of pressing public business, to shake hands with ami receive the gootl wishes of no fewer than five hundred callers at bin ollices -men In all walks of life nnd all complflXlOM of politics.

Reciprocity, rather limn gnlnliiK headway lu this country, Is getting a hlack cyo every day that people have r, tttrtho! opportunity nf studying lt. Canadians who regarded lt as a harmless but necessary experiment at first, are rapidly coming round to the conclusion that it is dangerous, and in every way ill-ailvised. There was a time when the western farmer could not see the jokers hidden in the pack. "In the laBt few weeks, however," says no less an acute critic oi affairs than the editor of Fne Winnipeg Saturday Post, "they hnve lie conic educated, with the result that il a vote were taken in western Canada today on reciprocity tho proposition would he turned down cold." Thnt politics should llgure In the reciprocity discussion is Inevitable. Politics are a necessary evil. They take their tliag alternately as the salt and the poison of public life. One of the most displeasing features of the campaign in Cannda anent the proposed trade treaty, is the attempt in certain quarters to set up eastern Canada tu he knocked down by thc west, and vice versa, to pit the west era farmer against the eastern manufacturer, to repreteat thnt tbe interests of one sect on are detrimental to the other. To build a big nation there must he internal harmony. Provincial governments fencing with the Dominion authorities, the west taunting the enst, the east making wroth tlie west, are not lectors conducing to nation building of value. The manufacturer must realise that there is something more for consideration than the growth of his own Industry, that tariffs must he stretch ed or slackened for the nation's and not the individual's benefit. The western farmer must realize that there is something more for consldcr- tion than his own prosperity, that he must regard the tarift as an intermediary between the captain ol industry and the agriculturist, not as hie own toy.

CIlANRROOK, BRITISH COLUMBIA THE PEOPLE'S PULPIT Bermon hy CHARLES T- RUSSELL, Putor Brooklyn Tabernacle JESUS NO LONGER A MAN Begotten and Born ol the Spirit, "Put to Death in Flesh, Quick- ened in the Spirit." London, April 23.- Pastor Russell preached In London labernaele to-day to a crowded liou-se. Hi. theme waa th. resurrected Lord, no longer u man, but sscended where he wai before— mad*, partaker of the divine nature. Hi? text was, "He was put to deuth i.i tteali. but quickened In spirit" (1. Peter iii, Id), The speaker said: in the pii=t those uf us who e-uiitin- Ufi to believe lu th.- resurrection ul the dead, held some inconsistent theo- rie respecting the matt.'r which serv- .d to make the resurrection doetriiu- tht* niure uh-urd m the minds ol lho>e opposed, For Instance, we eluimed '.hat the Logos, the Sou o'.

In the ittiiif Lii'ttih we acknowledged that human initurv ii a little lower than the an j\\ i.i- and thus, while .till wishing tu honor ih- Redeemer and to see wi* 'J -in and love hi the Heavenly Katn n Plan, we assumed thut tne ia\\ lot... -jince If:*- asceusion, bas had n body inferior to that of tin* angel. md out of harmony with His -ui ruundihgs; und that this is to be b dh eternity u part of the cost of hu ut tn redemption. How absurd! Uo not the Scriptures particularly tell us that in Hi- resurrection the Son was highly exalted bj tne father, far above angel-, pnnci pallties und powers und every name .(tut is named? Du they not tell u* lhat "flesh and biood cannot inherit ti1..- Kingdom of God:-" Dm they noi tell us tnat the elect Churoh, In order to ->e tho Bride of .Messiah and Hi. lusociate in the heavenly Kingdom, must be "changed, in u moment, in t:i twinkling of au eye," in order ti—t siie may be made like Htm. and because "tie.-ih and blo-xl cannot Inherit the Kingdom t" We have been to j careless in our stud" of the Divine Word. On this subject, ai upon athers, we have assumed thut our forefathers of the "Dark Aces" under* Itood the matter thoroughly. "We f'-r- %q* that those who lost so much ot lhe Holy Spirit that they could burn [ellow-Christiana at the stake were Ijuite likely to be more or less confused on ail questions, tut "the path oi the just is as a shining light, shin* Ding more and more unto the perfect iay," and it ia now our privilege t. lean the way of the Lord more per lectly, in the light now shining upon tn Bible through the aid of our Wun* ierful concordances and other Bible itudy helps. Our difficulty on this subject arose Irom our failure to understand that tiuman and spirit natures are distinct sno that God has provided two di- linctly different salvations for man kiud—the salvation of this Age being exclusively spiritual, while that of the next Age will be exclusively human We are not to think of these nature? ss blending, but, according to the Lord's Word, we are to view tbem as distinctly separate. Whoever is of the liuman nature ia earthly, fleshly. whether perfect or degraded. Who ever is ol the spirit uuture is heavenly, whether perfect or degraded. Thus, when "the Logos was made flesh and dwelt among us," He was human. tliouuh unblemished. And th.- fallen ingeis are still spirit beings, althuugh .ut off from Divine favor and fellow- ship. In other words, human nature is not an imperfect form of spirit nature but a totally separute antl dis tiuct nature. The Logos, the Only Begotten ol Ihe Father, "was made flesh" (John i. 11). He was nut a spirit being incarcerated in a body of flesh and wearing it as a garment, or living In it us a houae. He became l:k- ithers of the race, except that "He was holy, harmless, separate from sinners," while all others are sinners, imperfect. Like other men, the man Jesus was not a dual being—a spirit being living in a human frame. He was merely human. __*it the Redeemer became a dual being when He received the begetting of the Holy Spirit at the time of His baptism. Thenceforth, for three and a half years, until His crucifixion, He waa dual. The flesh was the lame; but the spirit-begetting received from the Father constituted Hun a ne-.v Ego, a new person. He not only thereafter had new hopes, based upon Divine promises, but He hHd a new mind or new will specially illuminated, quickened, enlightened by the Holy Spirit. From the time of His baptism Hia flesh (all t. it belonged to His human nature) was given up lo die in t'.ie carrying out of the Heavenly Father's purposes. Thenceforth th. Spirit-begotten One waited merely for tlie accomplishment of His sacn li.- according to the Father's will, an for a new body, a glorious spirit body. Ln the resurrection—Hia completing or perfecting as a New Crea lure. Hence, during the period of oui Lord's ministry, for three and a half years, He was a dual personage. So (ar as for . and organism were concerned He was a man, but so lar ■a mind and purpose and Interests wer* concerned He was changed a New Creature, a spirit being; earthly things had passed away Tlie New Creature followed the instructions ot th Divine Word and providences to th-1 extent of mortifying the flesh— surrendering it fully for the accomplishment in it of the Divine will. ''The cup which My Father hath poured for Me shall I not drink itr" The great Teacher Himself gives ns the picture of a human birth a** illustrating the experience* through wb.-h He passed and the similar •»* per» noes through which all of ins faithful followers must pus in order to reach the plane of heavenly glory. Tliis picture contains three distinctive views—(1) >egetting—(2) quickening— (3) birth. These three steps were lllustrnted by our Lord's own experiences, Hu was begotten of the H( ly Hpint at the time o! His const- | (■ration at boptlsm. !!'■ w s quickened or energized by lhat Holy Spirit \\ after His forty days' experience in | the wilderness when lie began Hi* active service as "the Messenger ol the Covenant," selecting His Bride. t,i Church. When He finished Ids sacrifice ul Calvary the man Jesus i as dead, and th.' New Creature Jesus, spirit-begotten and quickened and developed, wa* three and a half yenrs old, Accord- in. to the Divine Program He step! in hades, the tomb, and on the third dav was born frum the dead, raised up by Divlno power as a New Crea- tur.-. beitlg given a spirit body of divine nature - glory, honor, immortality, "Him Lath o«d highly exalt* e-_ (Phllippians ii, 0), H" did net lose His personality, His Identity, and could therefore properly say, "I am Ho that llveth and was Leud" (Rev i. 18). Thus was our Lord "put to death in flesh and quickened in spint"- uvj-ie alive in spirit, a Spirit Being. True, He was also quickened by the Spirit. It was the Father's Spirit or Power which raised Him from the longer a prisoner in the grave, mans viii, 11), Indeed, as the ApOS tie reminds us, all tlie blessings 01 Divine providence are of the Fathei F.om Him cometli every good aud every perfect gift. He Wiio thus ascended up on high, the Prince of glory and partaker ol the divine nature, is the same Wh. lirst descended to the earthly nature, yes Who wus humbled even unt. deuth, even the death of tbe Cross, an ■ went to the tomb as the sinner'- substitute or ransoiu-priee. The lorty duys which intervened between the Rwleemer's resurrection and His ascension taught two greu* lessons (I) That the crucified One was no longer held in the bonds ol death, uo longer a prisoner iu the grave. "_'. lt also taught that the Risen One was different in manv respect)1 from what He was before' He died No longer was He a man. No longei was He flesh. The body of flesh pre. pared for Him for the suffering ol death hud served Its purpose, H« needed it no longer. The Father had ral. 'd Him up to the plane of glorj .gain. As a quickening spirit Hi was with the disciple- during the loi I" duys, instructing them luring th* few momenta ol each of His seven t eight appearances But He w«- teachfng them equally when Invlsibli to them. He noted their perplexities H* several appearances were in dil- lerei.t forms—as a gardener, as a raveler, as a purchaser d tish ou •he *ii'ire ul Lake Tiberias, calling ut, "Have yoi any fish?" and then. 'Drop the net on the other side.'' He "revealed" Himself to the dis liples In various ways in connecticn with those materialisations and then •traightway He "vanished" cut J their sight, to be present with then unseen, Ior days. For identification He appeared on two occasions a lody bearing the marks of Hi cruel- : ixion. During those forty days 1 ti ■ faithful Teacher estttb'Uhed the ■ faith of His followers in Himself s* , 'he glorified Messiah, their Heavenlv Bridegroom, vVh) would later :no- I Hiram ar 1 receive them unto Hunsrlf . and at mat time give to tuem also a similar resurrection "change.' '■ that they should be like Him, "see Him as He is" and not as He was, and share His glory—because "flesh '. an 1 blood cannot inherit the Kingdom : of God" tl. Corinthians xv, 50*. St. Paul, the last of the twelve j Vpostles to be called (to take the , iface of Judas), needed, as well tn ! tl. others, to be able to witness to the resurrection of Jesus. Of thi* He te'.li us. saying. "He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve; after that He as seen of above five hundred brethren at once; after that He was •een of James; then of all the Apostles; and, last of all. He wu* seen of me ulso, as of one prematurely born" (I. Corinthians xv., &•£). In the ordinary course of events St. Paul would not have seen the Lord until His resurrection, when he himself would come forth as a member ot "ti. • Church of the First-born." He therefore describes his view of Jesus on his way to Damascus as being like that of one born before the time. In u. r words, St. Paul saw the Lord as He is and not as He waa. He saw tl Lord of g.ory, and uut the man Jesus. The appearance v aa glorious indeed. In various parts of tlie Bible angels in their normal condition are pictured as bright-shining ones. Thus one of the Prophets fell aa dead before an angel of the Lo.d, whose face shone as the sun. Thus John the Revelator, granted a glimpse of the glorified Christ, fell as deud before Hiii. The effect of this great light above the brightness of the sun upon the eyes of Saul of Tarsua was destructive aud a miracle was necessary lo*- their repairment. Thus the Lord identified Himself in glory with His former self, the man Jesus. These lessons of the Lard should not have gone unheeded. We should not have thought of the glori- fie- Messiah as a man. The effect ol th i wrong thought haa not only beclouded our appreciation of the Saviour in glory, but has also confused many respecting His Second Advent. It is safe to say that even yet tbe maloritv of those who are exneeii-w I tne Second Coming of the Sou ot New Creature in His resurrection, s< also the Scriptures indicate must b the course along which the Church i lo follow Hnn. None can be born c the Spirit unless first he has been be gotten ol the Spirit and quickened ol t .e Spirit. It is through this splrll begetting, quickening ai.d birth thai i a "elect ol Qod," called during thl.

QUEEN MARY'S FftlENOl Soma Personal Cronias of tha New Consort ol Britain. The late Queen Victoria used to say, "May is a continual ray of sunshine," and this statement is borne out by Her Majesty's principal friends. It is well known that Her Majesty is slow to make friends, but onco made she does not easily ullnw anything to never the friendship. Her tastes are, of course, uot like those of many looioty women. Her ohiel interest i.- centered in her home and her children, and she his no desire tu be like the "bultcrlly" society woman. Itunk does uot receive any great consideration from Her Majesty, und many of the friendships whloh she made with people in comparatively modest stations of Hie when u girl living with her ] .rents in White Lodge, Richmond Park, she still retains. Indeed, a number ol people living iu the neighborhoods of Royal Richmond, Kingston, and Todd ington own intimate IriendshipH with Her Majesty Qu i Mary, like Quoon Alexandra, ll (nnd ol really good music, and is a very fair musician. Bhe also poi. lessei a tuneful but not powerful meiio-aoprano voice. Her Majesty Is possessed ul considerable skill in art, and has distinct literary tastes. Hlie very Holdoin missel an exhibition of any impnrtanev. On these visits she is generally acoompanlod by Lady .Catherine Coke, who, since the death ../ the Qucon'g mother, to whom she was Lady lu-Waltlng, has been una ol Her Majesty's Women of the Bed- ohorabor. Lody Katherlne Coke is a very keen ait critic, uud Her Ma- j sly is often amused by her clever comments upon the pictures which come under their notice. Her Majesty has very few intimate friends among society ladies, bul among those honored with her friendship may be mentioned the Duchess of Devonshire, who was recently Installed us Hr Majesty's Mistress of the Robes, and Lady Mount Stephen, to whom Their Majesties, it will be remembered, paid a visit at Brocket Hall, uear Hatfield, some few weeks ayo. Lady Eva Dugdale is perhaps the oldest and most intimate friend that Her Majesty possesses. Aa is well- ' nown. Lady Kva has beon the Queen's Ludy-in-Waiting, or Woman of the Bedchamber, as she is now officially known, ever since her marriage nearly eighteen years ago. She is a very clever needlewoman, and is also said to be an expert upon furniture and old china, two topics in which the Queen takes a very ere"t interest. Neither tho Queen nor Lady Kva Dugdale cares a great deal for outdoor snorts; both are great readers, and often discuss and criticize books together. The Countess of Shaftesbury, who, it will be remembered, accompanied Their Majesties on their last visit to India, and will a_:ain this November, is the Queeh's Lady of the Bedchamber, is another intimate friend of Her Majesty's. Before her marriage with the Karl of Shaftesbury she was Lady Constance Grosvenor, and is a sister of the Duke of Westminster. All the Queen's friends have something to recommend them more than a mere social qualification. Her Majesty takes a very great interest both in British manufactures, which she has done so much to aid in every possible way, and in social questions, Old relics of the Royal Family have also a great fascination for the Queen. Among the Royal Family Her Majesty is immensely popular, and this is uo doubt due to her general high spirits, the wav in which she always looks on the brightest side of life, and her ,jood humor.

There are th ise to-day who maintain that the Welsh national emblem is not the leek, but the daff jdil. Both leek and daffodil are known in the ancient British tongue as "cennin," and it is held by those who favor the daintier flower that owing to the similarity uf name the two became confused uud that Shakespeare's influence, euupled with the Englishman's delight iu ma kin; tun of Taffy and his ieek. served to perpetuate the error. II. that as it may, the majority of Welshmen have agreed to wear the lee': as "au honorable badge." and neither Saxon banter nor the indetl- niteness of the historical data will avail to dislodge an ancient and a national custom-Pull Mall Gazette. Old Man's Thought of Rheumatism. Sir Alfred East, A.R.A., who recently underwent a serious operation in a nursing home, bears, beside his English title, thc honors of half-a-dozen Continental societies. When quite a small boy Sir Alfred was obsessed with a passion for painting, His first studio was a seat at a window, where, popped up on cushions and chairs, to prevent him falling, and supplied with a slate and pencil, he tried to draw horses passing in tlie street below. Despite the fact that he was only a tiny toddler, the animals in his drawing, although shaky as to tlie anatomy, never lacked the eyes, tail and mane, and the importance the young artist paid to detail augured well for his future success. Sir Alfred once had a striking, if amusing, example of the fact that the best qualities of art are not always appreciated by the public. One of his •natures is "An Idyll of Spring," vhieh now hangs in the Preston Gal- !-ry. On the bank in the foreground is the figure of a nymph. At the private view in the New Gallery, where the picture was first exhibited, an uld oouple stood and looked at it. "IJmnh," said the old gentleman to '■lis wife, "these artists are fools, my dear. Who could ever sit on a damp bunk without clothes on ut that time of the year? She would get rheumatism." Turnip In Horseshoe. A freak of nature was shown the other day iu the shop of a chemist, at Maud, Aberdeenshire. By chance, a turnip grew lust season inside i lost horse shoe, completely filling It, and even bulging out above and below the shoe as it lay in the drill in its efforts to expand its inelastic bond. Both together weigh between six and seven pounds. This curious turnip grew in u field on a farm of Honcyuook. A Record Price.

Muusejaw is one uf the youngest cities uf the province. It is also oue uf the largest. With a population ahuut equal to that of Regina, tbe scat of the local Government, Moose- jaw is increasing with greater rapidity. It is the transportation centre ol the province. The Cuiiadian Pacific Railway Co. have, this year, decided to make it the headquarters for the new Grand Division of Saskatchewan. More miles of railway are operated out of Moosejaw than from any other point iu the twu provinc s of Alberta und Saskatchewan. In addition to this it is the only city in Western Canada having direct railway communication with Ut. Paul. ln freight yards alone the C.P.R. are spending half a million dollars. The monthly payroll of tbe company now amounts tu une hundred and fifty thousand doilurs, and the value ut the terminal plant Is over three million dollars. Situated .iiu miles west of Winni* peg and M'.. miles east of Calgary, the eity is, to-day, the largest centre of industrial enterprise and population between these two important points. In addition to its importance as a railway aud industrial centre, Moose- jaw is the gateway to an agricultural territory larger in area ihuu alt the settled pOIts of Manitoba. In this immense district homestead entries ure beiug mude at the rate of twenty thousand quarter sect Luis yearly. The influx of new settlers is extraordinary. The daily scene at the railway station resembles that at the Windsor Station in Montreal prior to the departure of an immigrant train for the West. The new-comers are A every cluss and nationality. The grotesque Galician, the swarthy Italian, the rod-faced Yokels of the English counties, the gentleman farmer, ji* would-be farmer, and thc French "habitant," throng its waiting-room-*. _)n une occasion the writer found it hard to pick his steps through one uf these rooms, which was literally 'packed" with Galicians huddled to* (ether on thc floor, waiting to take a oranch liue tu the outlying district?. In another room the crowd was quite as dense but more presentable—and too dignified to. sit on the floor. Nearly all the trains arrive in two separate sections, and, iu spite of this precaution, the officials have all they can do to handle the crowds on the platforms. The hotel accommodation, like that of nearly all the newer western towns, is hopelessly inadequate to supply the demand tor rooms. In order to secure a room at any of the better hutels it is usually necessary to make a reservation at least one day ahead. It is not unusual fnr a traveler, who has neglected to take this precaution, to find, if he should arrive at midnight, that the railway station or the police station are the only available shelters.

Griggs," claims the double distinction ol being the largest sailing vessel on the Canadian Register, and the only vessel of her type afloat. When launched from the yards of Messrs. Harland and Wolff at Belfast, in 1883. the "Griggs" was originally a four-masted barque. In 190H she was dismasted and re-rigged as a six-masted barquentine with double topsails and topgallantsails on her foremast. The big "windjammer" is 308 feet in length, 42 feet beam, 25 feet draft, and with a registered tonnage of 2,351 tons. In addition to her unique rig, the barquentine is also fitted with wireless telegraphy—tlie operator being the son of the captain. Registered at Victoria, B.C., the vessel is owned by the Everett G. Griggs Shipping Co., and is generally employed in the off-shore lumber trade from the Pacific Coast. The largest Canadian barque-rigged vessel—the "Lord Templeton," of 2,048 tons register—ia also owned in Victoria, B.C.—Canadian Century. Qouldlng After Olympic Title.

Despite the fact that Goulding is breaking records at the present time, he is not now at the top of his form.

The effect of his costume waa tre. mendous and the sermon grew into a series of addresses on the subject, which if they have not awakened London to a serious consideration ol the matter have at least provided it with something to talk nucut. Captain Bronte says that most persons speeddy forget what they hear, but that they remember what they see; consequently he wished to appeal to the eye in order to make hi, words memorable to his congregation.

A man from tin- United States was recently taking- lunch with a Torontonian and by waj of entertainment he gave facts about lis own town, lt had a picture gal 'ery which ranked seventh on thr continent; its park system stood about Ifth, and he told some ot its perfections; there was a spire on one of the churches which stood well to the top in height; and different nwmufnc lories were also leading in their special lines. Then he turned tu comparing different things in the United States with corresponding things in Canada, and the Toronto man found that he always had to remain silent when overshadowed because he was so ignorant of the exact figures. The talk turned upon railroads, and the champion of Uncle Sam told some startling fvts about the lines in his country. At last the Canuck was sure of his ground. "Well," he remarked, "your railroads may be longer, but I feel sure that ours are just as wide." ■»dt •? tool bortthldi kxtUr a -*|i.l-.•.(%* ara bllL ft *••*** .irons! t»:M_.

"Census taking Is a practice of great uutUiulty going back to a,(mil or 4,(1110 years lt. C. In Uabylonla, China and Hgypt. In ancient Homo, whence we obtained tho word "census" the enumeration was minute and full, comprising tbe numbers and respective classes of all Iroe persons and their relation to thc head of the house. Slaves wero also counted and landed property was clnssined according to its character and produce. The Roman census was iiuintiuennlnl from 430 B. 0, to the niicklng of the city in A. D. 410. Amongst the Israelites an enumeration ot the people was made In thc wilderness 13 months after fiultting Bgypt, and thc first chapter of the book of Numbers describes arrangements under which Moses and Aaron as chief commissioners were assisted by 12 enumerators, one for each tribe.

Hebrew enumerators were strictly tribal, and Jewish custom was respected by the Romans ln the decree of Caesar Augustus that nil the world should be taxed (or enrolled), when In Palestine, "all went to be taxed, everyone Into his own city." Passing over tbc mediaeval Inquiries of Charlemagne and "Willium the Conqueror we come to the gradual Institutions of modern times, of periodical censuses. To Canada, It is utated, belongs thc credit of holding the tlrst of those, as a census wm taken in Quebec as early as 1005. Sweden took a census in 174s. The first Census hill in Mngland wns introduced on March 30th, 1758, but failed to pass owing to popular prejudice, apparently based upon King David's experience of the divine wrath in his numbering of bis children of Israel.

Another staled thut hid constituents "looked nn the proposal us ominous, tind feared less Home public mislor- tune or au epidemical distemper should follow .the numbering." A census enumeration is usually effected upon one or two principles; it may be either 'de jure' or 'de facto;' by the former system the people are counted according to domicile wheth er actually present or not at the time of enumeration, whereas in a 'de facto' census unly those actually present iu a Riven place at a given time are counted. The lli;at Ilritish census wun taken in ISOI, and it has been decennial .-tinn* that date. Up to the present each census has been the subject of u special Act of Parliament; It is taken on the 'de facto' system, and the census of the present year sought to record every person living on the night of Sunday April 2. Hitherto British censuses have heen limited to simpl? enumerations, ol tho people by means of u single schedule; but the Census of Production Act 1006, provides for the taking by the Hoard of Trade of a periodical census of production, and the first census under this act was taken in 1908 in respect of the year 19(17. In the new Commonwealth of Australia the first federal census was taken on April 3rd last, on the same general principle as that of thc mother country, but a new departure in respect of method was made by the adoption of personal and householders' cards instead of schedules. A card is required to be filled up for every person and lor every household! ou the former are collected all tlie usual particulars and on the lutter the nature of the building and a summary of the members of the household hy uex. The card system Is also adopted in some European countries. Mr, G. H. Knibbs, G.M.G., P.S.B., in a pamphlet ent i-led "Notes on the First Commonwealth Census," mentions, as showing the dlibculty in drat ting absolutely unambiguous ijuestions, that at the last census ia Western Australia a reply received to tue question "Length of residence; if not horn iu Western Australia, state length of residence therein," was, "86 teet half block," while In several other casus the "lengtn of residence" waa stated to he tixK, evidently referring to a tent of those dimensions. un the European continent the census bus au important relation to military conscription; it is generally both 'ue jure' aud 'de facto,' absentees being recorded at tbeir usual homes and also as temporary residents elsewhere, the two records being afterwards compared and the necessary adjustments made. In iVrunce, where the census bas beeu .|Uinu,uenulal since 1878, the decentralised system of local government throws much of the work both ot enumeration and tabulation upon the local authorities. Each commune is divided into enumeration units of luu Inhabitants, with a controller for every L.llUO inhabitants. The required information is collected upon an Individual uml a household schedule; the former has to be tilled up for every person present Including infants. Upon the household schedule are recorded particulars concerning the members of the household present, those absent, and temporary rosidents such as travellers, soldiers, students, etc. Altogether about 12 forms are used for the census Upon which tabulations and reports are made by the mayors of communes for transmission to the prefects ot departments and by tbe latter for ultimate transmission to the Department ot Labor iu Parts, lu Uelgulm the administrative arrangements for tbe decennial census aro somewhat similar, but tho principal schedule records VI names. In Germany, where tbe census is quinquennial, and In Austria where it is decennial, tlie duty of enumeration devolves largely upon proporty owners or tholr agents. In the United Stales a decennial Census has been taken since 17!M) in the last year of each decade, In HHI2 Congress passed an act establishing a permanent consus olrlco, while in 11109 it was enacted that a censtlB of live stock and agriculture should be taken in 1911. and every ten years thereat- j ter.

Thfl first and most Important is tbe population, aad under this section come- ago, color und how much you nre worth. Tlie next deals with morality, dis- abi.lty, aud compensation, while sec. tlons li and t; arc for statistics rotating lo the seed and fruit crops ot L010 and tbe number of animals nils during a given number of years. Section No. 7 seeks Information lor nil kinds of farm statistics, and No. h under the forestry department, asks . for the kind and quality of trees raised, and their value lu dollars and cents, Another section deals with factory statistics, and the questions under this head include the money Invested, the values of land, buildings and the number of employees and the number of working hours eacb day, and the sltte of pay rolls, Tlie heads of churches, colleges and public and private schools will be required to answer a long Ust of ques tions, and under another section Information pertaining to fisheries Is sought. Tho government also wishes to get statistics relating to the mining de velopmont in thc Dominion. Under this beading managers of the mining companies will he required to tel, how much capital is involved in their enterprise, and how many employees arc kept nt work and the number ot hours they work.

Game Warden lirynu Williams is at present considering a plan for tbe creation of u great game pari., oi._- hulf lying in the Uuiteu btatea aim tiie other portion divided betweuu Alberta and Ornish Columbia.

Di passing tue suggestion uion^ Mr. Douglas propouou tuac the Hritish Columuia uutlioutles uuoiild co-operate in tbe park plains by setting aside a section on the west ny the Flathead river aud irom i'l to in miles north and south. Speaking oa the subject today Game Warden Williams did not appear entirely to favor the plan, speaking ou it us follows: "oui ..ast Kootenay reserve is not lar away,'' be saidl "and is a much better game country, its boundaries are well denned aud we ure able to protect it carefully, lt also possesses winter and summer feeding grounds tor game. 'There is no reason at present for thc disturbance of game in this park through tbe granting of mining uud timber leases, while I am told that the section in the southeastern part of the province wblcb ls proposed to he taken in with Glacier aud Waterton lake parks is covered with coal, oil and timber leases. Furthermore it is without winter range for deer and wapiti, which all go soutb across thc boundary line from that portion of the province for the colder months or else migrate to the Kootenay valleys." The boundaries of the proposed park are not very well delined and owing to the location of the tract in question it will be somewhat difficult for the British Columbia authorities to enforce the game regulations of the province. One ot my greatest objections is tbat Bhould game Increase it is more likely to Alberta or Montana than to stay in British Columbia owing to the nature of tho country in that particular district. Tbe othcr parts of the preserve would get the overflow to our disadvantage. In any event the operation of one large park by two or three governments is never very likely to prove successful. We bavo practically enough game areas in Hritish Columbia for the present." YOU MUST NOT BE ANORY.

Thompson. ross the Held at a speed muter thnn the host horse or mule tan walk, breaking 40 acres a day for tho price of one gallon of lubricating oil for thc entire work. This means 25 cents for*breaking an acre 6t ground, tbut with horses, would cost $8 on ncre. But there iH another Mc to it. Except a farmer cultivates ono thoutand acres ho cannot afford one of the monster machines, and thus will go, must go, the farmer of snail holdings, unless a score or so of the latter should combine to own one in common, and that ia undesirable for the reason that too many cooks spoil the broth. Ours Is an age of wonders, and here is au Invention that enables two farmers to do the work nf more than a score of the farmhands of a score of yen™ ago. Yet farm products command more than twice the price in the market tbey brought in 1896. Of course, these big machines are not for a broken tt un- try. made up of bills nnd hollows. Tbey am for the prairies, but smaller ones may he constructed for the fanner of narrow acres. Word comes from Sweden that a man there has perfected the storage electric battery that Thomas A. Edison has been striving for for years; and if he has, the gasoline motor for held and road must give place tfi thc electric. That again, will be a triumph of cheapness, antl we may expect an acre of corn land to be ploughed .for 10 cents. But ploughing and cultivating arc not all tlie work this machine cau do. It is promised that by its agency cows will he milked, crops bar- vested and garnered, hay cured, and what not." CHANGED HIS MIND.
