TO ADVERTISERS
L.n:i r, ora Mowat, he is tempted to
eek what attraction political life can
have for men of their pre-eminent
ability Attraction it must afford. or
they won d not remain in it, for other-
wise the rewards are slier indeed Ie
is impossible for a party leader to be•
come wealthy, because the moment he
is discovered to be addiug to hie holdings
he becomes discredited, no matter how
legitimately his wealth may have been
acquiree. Perhaps the excitement of
the fray may have a goof deal to do
wtth it, as it has with ordinary war-
fare. Ia the present condition of the
Lberal party in O.atario, there is little
to induce any man of ability to saorifice
himself for its advancement, so far e.s
material rewards are conoernei, but a
leader will assays be found teverthe-
lees, At present it is Mr Willer, and
he has certainly eltsplayed so far a
phenomenal cnpaoity for self-sacrifice
What is needed for suoeese, not merely
immediate but ultimate, ie the loyal
support of loading Liberals every
a here, so that he may feel he is really
the leader. Mere acquaintance is not
enough, success requires hearty, en•
thnaiatio and continnons support -

• NOTES AND COMMENTS
We are about to celebrate the tercen-
tenary of our historio city, Qaebeo, and
to commemorate the battles which so
materially i• fiaenoed the history of our
Dominion. We may congratulate onr-
selves upon the prosperity and the en-
lightenment of these "piping times of
pQaoe" in comparison with the 014 days
of darkness, of ignorance and of ocn-
fi=oe, but we may question ourselves if
we cannot learn mu •h from the great
men o° the old time. Their ohivalrons
faith, their hunger for honor, rather
than for ease and riches, their simple,
soldierly devotion to duty, sometimes
shame us in our cowardly self-seeking,
our pleasure-hanting, onr money. grab.
bing and our love of compromise. Had
the men who settled Oaueda and the
men on either side who battled on the
Plains of Abraham been p3or and low
in their ideals we should have had no
Dominion Dsy to oelabrate.-Montreal
Witness.
In its attitude toward Canada the
United Stated is nnexonsably indifferent
to its own success. k the contempla
tion of the economic greatness of their
own land the people of rbis country
lose sight of what le going on elsewhere.
With short-sighted complacency they
look at the array of figures representing
the produets of American fields and
farms and give little or no heed to the
fact that the grain crops of the Canadian
North-west have increased from about
30,000,000 bushels in 1891 to 250,000,000
bushels at the p esent time, with a
certainty of quadrupling that output
withii a few years. New railway
lines are being run through the grain
country, opening new areas of resettle-
ment. New outlets are being made
by which Canadian crops and Canadian
beef and cattle can be mut to market
through O,..n•adian Territory. The
Hudson Bay route and the Georgian
Bay Canal are now something more
than mere dreams It ie probable that
decider a wi 1 soon be made whether the
Welland Canal shall be deepened to a
draught of twenty.five feet or a new
canal built around Niagara Falls,

SiR WILFRID IS SURE THE
PEOPLE WILL TRUST HIM,
"To learn how Sir Wilfrid Laurier
feels about the beating hie provincial
friends of Oatario got in the recent eleo•
tion is a mission upon whioh I have
been sent," writes Mr. E W. Thomson,
Ottawa correspondent in the Boston
Transcript.
Well, atter all, Sir Wilfrid doesn't
seem a bit sore. Ha takes the event
like everything else, as an incident of
the game or jonruey.
"The world is a place of troubles,"
he says. ' Oertainly the blow to my
party friends iu Oatario was a severe
one. Bat they had to encounter in
Mr. Whitney a very strong man, and
they themselves were under a leader
whose large ability is not so well un-
derstood as it yet will be -he has been
leader bat a short time.
"I..t some sense the result may be
construed as a stroke against my Gov
ernment, but really it should not be so
regarded. Some men's minds are for
the moment oonfneed. They confound
the parties of,the country in general
In the same way some of my friends in
Q iebeo conceive their viotory there,
which is only less striking than that of
the Conservatives in O.it ario, to signify
the unusual ele. toral victory for onr
party in Federal po'itica. Neither one
nor the other set of these rej ricers and
disappointed have yet got the smoke of
the two simultaneous but opposed pro-
vincial victories out of their eyes.
"My Government may do less well
at the next Dominion elections than
Mr. Goalie's snocese seems to indicate
and far better than Per. Whitney's
may appear to denote. I am not dis-
couraged, not worried at all.
"You should coneider that jaet as
Mr. Whitney and Mr. G3uin bad to
stand on their record in ofise, so most
I on mine. It is not one of which I
have regret. The people must jadge
it and as, I confess too much confidence
in their common sense. We have had
some mistakes -not many, I believe,
and not important. Oar euccesaee are
obvious, and I think important. The
sanity of the electorate in Canada is
not to be questioned by me. The peo-
ple are our final court of appeal.
"We are little disturbed by the al-
leged 'scandals' -at worst they are of
trivial magnitude, mostly they have
been dissipated by sworn testimony,
some are still ander exsmiaation. The
honor of no minister has been im-
pugned. I have not ever observed the
Canadian people to be much misled by
the mere suspicions, imputations, and
accusations of any opposition. Aleo,
we have plenty of titne before to . Oar
term does not expire until November
of next year. Mach water may fi3w
past in eighteen menthe. It is trete
that we may go to the country earlier
-or may not.
"No -se yon say -there is really no
reason of common Penne why a min•
istry should hold elections a year or
more before they are legally neoes•
eery. The ohoioe of time has been a
matter, tonally of ministerial strategy,
Premiers have formed a habit of go-
ing to the country when circumstances
seemed propitioas. Whether it be so
now, or may be so later„ I have really
not taken into serious consideration.

the contrary. Our majority is nnim•
paired in both Houses The by-elec•
teens have favored ns. There is no
turmoil or agitation against us. Ir
would be ridiculous to interpret an Px-
hibition of Ontario corfllenoe in Mr,
Whitney as one of a lack of Ontario
confidences in me. I am conscious of
having done well by Ontario, of hav-
ing at iven to deserve approval from
the people there -as from those every-
where else.
"If. they refuse it to me -well, it
must be so- the world ie a plane of

that Ontario will treat me very well
In any case I shall not complain of
the .deoision of people whom I respect,
And there is plenty of time."
I must not be supposed to report
his words aeoarately, for hie sentenoes
were written in the eourae of talk,
broken by question, reply, dominant,
and reference, to matters local, per•
sonal and exoluded here. Bat the
gist of his remarks is there. And the
collocation indicates fairly I believe,
Sir Wilfrid's deliberate philosophic,
amiable way of thinking. He doesn't
take his politics hard, th3ugh he does
take duty seriously.
The effects of listening to Sir Wil-
frid, whether he speaks to one or to
many, is that the hearer gets a sense
of light. His infiaeuoe is in the na-
ure of that which Matthew Arnold
signifies regarding Goethe. who "saw
life steadily and saw it whole." Or
like that of Stints B ,ova, who con
duots an essay so persuasively as to
e ffaet miracles of conversion to hie
vie w. Laurier causes comprehension
that the overwhelming victory of Mr.
Whitney's Oatario Oabinet ought not
to bo taken se prognosticating a ma•
jority of that province against Laurier.
It is tree that the inference might
well be (mite otherwise. Mr. Waitney's
000rse in offeoe has been vary sane.
Sir Wilfria's course has been eminent.
1y so. In supporting sanity at Toronto,'
Ontario, to the eye of pure reason,
ought to appear' wholly favorable to
Laurier's Federal ministry. This is
logic.
DISCUSSING CHILD LABOR.
(Brantford Expositor )
The members of the Iaternatiouai
Association of Fatting Iakpectors,
meeting in Toronto, have been die -
coming the q iestion of child labor and
urging an advanoe ail along the line.
It is a pity, with the meeting taking
plane in a progressive province like Om
tarso, it was not possible for us to furn-
ish to the visitors an obj set lesson of
what modern child labor laws ought to
be. Instead of 000apying this position
we are among the most backward
people on the continent in this very
important regard.
To begin with, our truancy laws are
little more than a name, and in the
great majority of municipalities there is
no machinery for their onto cement.
Without machinery to flee that they are
at school np to the required age, ohil
dren of tender years are certain to be
found in our factories and stores. Time
andategain, the need of an entirely new
system of truancy law administration
bas been forced upon the attention of
of the Government, but without re.
enit. The evil has been admitted, but
no effort has been made to grapple
with it.
Up to the last session of the Leg-
islative the law
Assembly, l h permitted
y,
children as young as 10 years of age
to be employed in plaoes other than
faotorielt. The special committee on
Child Labor recommended in its re.
port to the government that there
should be a uniform age of 14 years
in both the Shops and Fsotories Ads,
the government atter a year's could.
million brought in a bili to raise the
age in shops from 10 t0 12, and it was
only after repeated urging and in the
Very last minutes of the lot session that
it consented 10 increase the limit to 1a
years as regards employment daring
school hours. Is should not be lawful
to employ children either daring or
after school hours who are under 14
years of age, and in the moot progress-
ive states of the Union they oannot ba
so employed under 16
It ie the very general rale to require
that children should produce an age and
schooling certifi:ate before being ern
ployed, but Ontario has no 50311 re-
quirement. A oertifiaate need only be
prodaoed, on the dammed of a factory
inspector, and is seldom;required, while
illiteracy is tri barrier to entrauoe upon
an indna!rial career.
We have done nothing to prevent the
employment of children in don :aeons
or immoral occupations, or in plaoes
whore l:gzor is sold, if the child is not
I ehind the bar, and we lay behind the
prooessiod in stating the number of
hones, either day or night, daring which
children may be employed.
It is owing to the importauoe which
most Canadians attach to ednoation that
the loose condition of things to which
The Expoaitor has time and again (Jelled
attention has not been prodaotive of
more evil, but the changing character
of our population m ekes it distinotly
important that this laxity ahnald no
longer continue, and that tha laws of
the province should protect child life to
an extent they have not thus far been
doing.

If I knew the box where the smiles

Then over the laud and the sea,

I'd scatter the smiles to play.
That the ohildren's faces might hold
them fast,
For many and many a day.
It I knew a box that was largo

To hold all the frowns I meet,
I would like to gather them every

From nursery, school and street,
Then, folding and holding, I'd pack
them in,
And, turning the monster key,
I'd hire a giant to drop the box
To the depth of the deepest sea.

FALL FROM GREAT HEIGHTS.,
The Sensation Described by One Who
Experienced It.
A German scientist, Professor Albeit
Heim, who fell over n precipice in the
Alps, but lived to tell the tale, makes
that story n very encouraging account
to those with an inclination to high
jumps and the like.
His fall was only seventy feet, yet
that would be more than cuough to
satisfy a temperate person. His story
Is full of interesting detail.
At first he seemed to himself to be
flying through the air. Hie fall really
could have occupied only n few sec-
onds, but his train of thought was
long and full of interesting deta'tils.
"I clearly saw," he says, "the possl-
btitty o� m r fa g; j Saki t2 myse1f�
t7`lae rocky°` allfrom which I aniiiow,
being hurled prevents my seeing what
is at its base. The snow may be melt-
ed there or there may be none. Ie
there is any, lay life may be saved.
Otherwise death is inevitable.
"'If I am conscious on reaching the
earth, I have by me a bottle of aro-
'mnties and my alpenstock. I will'
grasp it, for It may serve me in good
stead.' I thought, too, of removing my
eyeglasses lest their splintering might
cause injury.
"Other and gentler thoughts for those
I was to leave behind came upon me.:
For myself I felt indifferent, caring
really little whether I should be much
injured or not, but from motives •of
consideration for others I felt impell-
ed, as It were, to make light of the+
matter. I seemed to call aloud, 'I am
not much hurt!' •
"I recollected that in five days more
I was to have delivered an inaugural
discourse and thought of the grief my
death would cause to those near and
dear to me. Anon, lying, as it were, on
the limit of a far distant horizon, ap-
peared distinct and divers images and
episodes of my past life. The whole -
mental picture stood out clear cut and
illumined by divine and mysterious
light.
"All things seemed lovely and of
good report. There were no misgiv-
ings, no anxieties, no sorrow, pain or
terror.
"There were no sensations of contest
or strife. All was merged in feelings
of genial good will and kindly feeling.
Such feelings predominated over all
and formed what was truly a unique
and lovely picture.
"Gradually a heaven of glorious blue
flecked with crimson clouds of gossa-
mer lightness surrounded me. In them
I was wafted to and fro, borne up from
below, but painlessly and pleasantly,
while a vast and moviug snow field
seemed to accompany tee. Anon the
perception of objects, subjective
thoughts, a medley of various feelings,
seemed to circle in concentric mazes
around as a common center.
"Then came a dull thud, which 1
heard very distinctly, but did not feel.
and my fail was ended. At that in-
stant a dark veil passed before me.
"I called aloud three or four times 'I
am not much hurt,' grasped my glass-
es, which lay near me, and touched my
limbs to make sure they were not
broken.
"Then I saw my companions slowly
approaching. They told me a good half
hour had elapsed after my fall before
I spoke,
"I had lost consciousness, and that
explains the dark veil. Later the pow-
er of thinking returned. I was con-
scious only so long as I was falling of
the perception of beautiful images, At
the moment of contact with earth they,
disappeared."
On another occasion Dr. Heim was
injured in a carriage accident. He said
that he distinctly heard and counted
the bone fractures -seven in all -
which he received. He quotes the evi-
dence of an Italian who had a similar
experience. -Gateway.
A Horseman's Getup, 1662.
"If the sword be not bought," writes
Sir James Verney, "I bad much rather
have one according to the mode, and
the rather because a black one is more
agreeable to my pliancy. I hope you
have given my tailor full directions
about the belt, for I can by no means
trust to his -judgment. As for the sad-
dle you mention, I am very much
obliged to yourself for borrowing and
to Sir Rich: Temple for lending it, if
he knows for whom it is, but my fears
is that I shall not become a saddle of
that worth, if it belongse to him as
Kt, of the Bath, and I question wheth-
er I may have it for both 088160x. As
for the horse I have at Sutton, 1 fearer
he will be too high for a low fellow to
gett upon; if so, I shall be bold to send
for yours. I am unwilling to look like
a jackanapes on horseback. You men-
tion topps to be laced, which I suppose
are to be worn upon my leggs; if so, I
fenre there will be so much topp, as
there will be but little bottom to be
seen. My 'eggs all are short enough in
conscience allready, and if the fashion
must needs make them shorter I must
Strutt it out as well as I can."
