It cannot be expeeted, no matter what the respea- tive scale of wages inay be, that the farm can compete with the faotory in the labor market as long as the work on farm is never done. All toilers should have, outside the hours necessary for sleeping and eating, some time they can oall their own; and this is impossible where the work of the day begins before seven in the morning and runs beyond six iu the evening. (Goldwin Smith in Weekly Sea ). That Mr. Bryan ispefeotly right in saying that there does not exist on the part of the people of the United State9 the slightest desire to enforce the po- litical re -anion of the Englieh-apeaking Me upon this continent everyone who has ever lived in the United States must know. The social re-nuion by means of interchange of population and in other ways goes on apace of itself. Oom• mercial re -union, which Mr. Bryan we are glad to see courts, would come if it were not for the unhallowed cupidity of the mouopolist manufaoturtrs on both aides, The original rupture, due more to the Republican progandism of ]11r. Samuel Adams and his se.t;than to the fisoal quarrel, which, had the spirit of the Oolouiete bsen less infiimed, would almost certainly have been settled, was thefatal source of world-wide calam- ities. England had delivered the Colon- ists from a constant peril by the con- quest of French Canada. To avenge this France joined the Colonies in the war, thereby finally ruining her fiaenca and leading to the fall of the monarchy and that greatest of all calamatiee to her and mankind in general, the French Revolution. What may be in the womb of the tutors we cannot tell.

B' ELLIOTT, PUBLIItrsR AND THURSDAY, FEB. 27, t908, NOTES ANO COM MENTS The Huron oonnty oonnoilis preparing to make a special claim for participation in the money being distributed by the Government under the Highway Im- provement Act. The county built its roads and handed them over to the local. municipalities some years ago, and will now claim a proportion from the Govern• ment to assist them in constructing permanent bridges where necessary on the improved roads. The claim is a reasonable one, that should be consider• ed by the Government. Good bridges are as essential as good roads. -Muni. oipal World. The serious conditions due to the spread of tuborouloeis are indicated by Dr, Chisholm's etatament that 49 out of every 50 Canadians Buffering from the disease are still unprovided with a000m- modation in sanitaria. They are outside spreading the disease among their fel- tome, Forty thousand Canadians are cffiioted with tuberculosis to -day, and 8,000 die from it every year. Taber- onlosis is largely preventable, and the dissemination of sanitary knowledge is an effective instrument to that end. Typhoid and other deadly diseases are largely avoidable by proper precautions. Public ignorance is in great part respon- sible for the large mortality from com- mon ailments. The need for an energetic and persistent policy seems to be felly established. -Toronto News. Tho Montreal Gazette, which is us- ually very accurate in its political pre diotions has this to say as to the pro- gramme of the Ontario Government. It says: The work of the present session of the Oatario Legislature will be pushed ahead with all expedition and an effort will be made to bring thewwork of this Parliament to a close by the end of March. From an official source it has been learned that the important mea- sures arid, for the most part now before the Legislature. The reports are being rnahed to completion and the Ministers are at work upon the estimates, which will be brought in at the earliest possible moment. There will be as little debat- ing as possible.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the sy'etem, thereby destroying the foun- dation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Although since he has held the pos- ition of registrar of deeds he has strict ly and conscientiously obeyed the Garrow resolution, time was when there was no more picturesque figure on the party political platform than Mr. Peter Ryan. A hard hitter and a keen, resourceful debater, he was a formidable opponent, though, because he fought fair and never hit below the belt, he never lost a friend nor made an enemy. Pages might be filled with anecdotes, well worth the telling, of his campaign ex- periences. Here is a sample: Daring the contest' in Centre Toronto, 1882, when the late Roaert Hay and the late Sir J. D Edgar were the candidates, the colored vote in "the ward" was an important but somewhat doubtful factor. One Sunday a number of prominent Liberal workers called on Mr. Ryati and urged him to attend a oolored people's meeting, which was held that night. Though he did not hanker for the job, Mr. Ryan consented on conditions that they would not ask him to speak. Bat, man proposes, eto. Hardly had Mr. Ryan and his friend been seated' when, the colored elcquenoe having become ex- hausted, the chairman called upon Alderman Ryan (he was a city fath 3r then). There was nothing else for it, and the alderman had to go forward. First, he expressed his pleasure, even his delight, at being present with his colored friends, more especially since his "race" and theirs had muck in com- mon. Both had suffered grievously at the hand of the same Sassenach oppress- or. It was the Saxon who had implanted negro slavery in North America; it was the Saxon who had trampled upon the liberties in Ireland. "Bat, my colored fellow citizens," he went on, "if your raoe and mine have had dark days in our history, we have had our bright ones as well. Yon and we have written many splendid glorious pages in the history of the world. When England was struggling to maintain her prestige 011 the continent of Europe,who did mdre for the glot'y of England's arms, who showed greater valor and heroism, than Edward the Black Prince (great applaase)? When Scotland was straggling for her „liberties against the tyrant, Edward, who so ably seconded the heroic efforts of Bruce, who was so heroically in the fore of the forefront of the battle, as the Black Douglass (tremendous cheers and shouts of Glory')?" On their way home from the meeting one of Mr. Ryan's friends, a Scotohman, said to him: "I doot, Meister Ryan, ye were a bit aff in yer history the nicht. I'm no sure aboot the Black Prince, for I'm no well posted in English history. for a' I been neeger, r ha a i ht eg HemO, ken. But I're sure the Black Douglas was na a neeger; he was a Sootchman." Compulsory notification of all caves of Tabercnlosis oocnring with the Province. The care, necessary control and nurs- ing of those who have not the means to provide such for themselves. Enforced disinfection of premises in every case upon removal, recovery or death of the subjects of disease. The supervision of the home treatment of such oases by especially trained nurses connected with local boards of health, who would attend to the proper earsy- ing out of precautionary measures under the adyiee and direction of attending phyeioiane, where such are' employed. Practical measures for the education of the people, and more especially the subj ecce of the disease with a view to their own safety and that of their fam- ilies and the public generally. Legislation encouraging the establish- ment and maintainance of district sani- taria, with such an equitable adjustment of the cost in connection therewith as will encourage immediate action being taken. Such is the outline of a policy whioh the provincial board of health have recommended to the government for the control of the "white plague." Limewater is not only frequently pre- soribel for young babies, but is also often given to older ohildren, the addi- tion of a small quantity to hot or cold milk rendering it lighter and more di- gestible. The only drawback to its use is the fact that, to be efficacious, the linrewater must be fre,sh, and for this reason only a small amount should be prepared at a time. Freed from Piles THE JOY OF IT. The utter misery and despair of the sufferer frompp iles or hemorrhoids can never be des-cribed. Not only the intense itching and ttiegng, not only the dread of a surgical operation, but the whole system seems to be underntirted by this horrible disease. The joy which cured ones experience on being freedfrom itching, bleeding and protrud- ing piles is told in thousands of letters received in regard to Dr. A. W. Chase's Ointment SPRING MEDICINE.

SHORTER HOURS ON THE FARM In an address at a Farmers' Institute meeting, held in Whitby, E. C. Drury, declared that the shortage in the supply y of farm labor had prejudiced one good effect, in oompelling the general adop tion of the ten-hour system on farms. Speaking from his own experience, Mr. Drury said the reduction in the hours, instead of reducing the amount of labor performed, had rather btonght about an opposite result; - more is being acowo m' pbished at present, on some farms, with work beginning at Eleven and ending M Ids, than ander the old plan of working from gnu to sun. That Mr. Drury is tight in his. asser- tion will be acknowledged by all who have had experience of labor in cities as well se on the farm. No man can work twelve or fourteen hours a day, day after day, and move smartly; hnnlan nature will not stand it. As a matter of foot, when such hours were the rale on the farm, men did not move as quickly as in the factories where the ten•hoar systent existed.

An Odd Cuetom Observed In England. et Christmas Time: "Happy mouths" Is the uaul.s applied to the little :wince pies made at l:hriet- tnas time throughout Engl;tnd and served to auy guests who may call at the .house during the holidays. The saying is that for every oue of these tiny pies oue eats a happy month will come during tile year, only the pies Must be given • to the one who eats them. When one calls at the house the little pies are, brought forth with a glass of wine or a cup of tea, and, however well satisfied one :nay already he as regards one's appetite or how many of these "happy month" pies he has al -R ready eaten, it is considered a marked, broach of etfryuette to refuse the little pie, although one is allowed to take it home and eat it later. This, however, is not very often done, for who would refuse the coming of a happy month by refusing to overtax the stomach for just one more little pie? In some parts of England these little pies ttre literally made by the dozen, so there will be plenty of them for family and friends. They are made of the richest of puff paste, too, which, at the best of times, is tin indigestible goody, and the crust is filled with a mince meat filling that is even richer than the crust. DR.

About the time of the Yale bicenten- nial celebration in 1901 some wag pre- sented the university with a perfectly good sundial, which was elaborately advertised in the New York papers and with due solemnity set up in a con- spicuous place on Berkeley oval.

"Shay, Jack, what time is it?" "I can't tell you, old fel'; this sundial's stopped." And, "Hey, fresh, out there by the sun„ dial! Strike a match and see if it isn't bedtime!" are typical. --E. R.
