NOTES AND COMMENTS A large order awaits the consideration of the special committee appointed by the Provinoial Legislature lazt session to revive the Assessment Act, The committee met for organization on Tuesday last. At the het Legislative session bills were intradneed proposing to increase the exemption on personal earnin;;s, tomake olnb3 and express companies liable to business assessment, in all cases to reduce the business as - [imminent of manufacturers and certain other classes of business, to abolish the business assessment of retail merchants, to give power to the court of revision to remit or reduce business assessments in certain oases, to change the assessment of farm lands in cities, towns and vil- lages, to make it clear that telegraph and telephone companies are liable to business assessment, to assess the snb- struoturea, upperetruotures, rails, ties poles and other property of a steam rail. way on the roadway or right of way, to tax the dividends of non-resident stook - holders in the hands of the company, to tax improvement values at a lower rate than land values. The infinx of American farmers into western Canada has apparently reached the stage of a continuous performance, and the proximity of winter does not seem to cause any reaction. Indeed, the tendency is progressive, if the etatistios of the past three months be a oriterion. The number of immigrants who came aorose the boundary in Ang net was 3,897, as compared with 3,091 in August, 1908; In September there were 4,652, as compared with 3,289, in Sep- tember, 1908; and in October there were 5,250, as compared with 3,197 In. Octo- ber, 1908. The total for the three months is, therefore, 18,781, as com- pared with 9,509 last year, an increase of 4.572. or 48 per Dent. The increase for Ootoiter alone is 2,071, ar 63 per oent., and it 1s this feature of the Government returns whish carries the greatest significance, It indicates that the movement is not only prolonged to an unusual degree, but it is showing a relatively greater activity now than at any °that time in the past. When it ie considered that no less than 5,250 per. moos- from the western States took pp their residence in this country in cne month. in the fall, a calculation as to whet will take place in the spring is impassible. 1dtl Robbed of. its Victim.

GRIME AND PUB UUC1TY. (Stratford )3eaoou.) The Chatham News euggeete that in stead of n. nue or ten slave in jail it Might be a good plan to eeotenee some offendere to "tenlines in the, newspaper." This ,e its tweezing UP of it eomewbat lengthy article ea the [subject of orime and publicity, le which it sets one the diiiicnitiea of newspapers in regard to keeping out names, In the course of this article it point, ant RIO once a ease is in oalert it beeomee public property, and the man who makes threats if an obnoxious item is not suppressed is treading on dangerous ground. It also steres what is very true that the imolai status of a loan hes very little to do with grenting a regaeat for suppression, and the experience .of the News is prob• ably that of most pubilehera that men without a penny hirve been shown Ien- ienoy when where who have friends and money have been denied. It is also correct iu saying that it le largely a question of individual judgment and whether wlthhclding the name will do the most good or harm. The public, and probably the newspaper men, are inclined to be merciful to first offenders. Moet newspaper men would rather help a fellow up than down, but they have a duty to disoherge as purveyors of news and souse of the vary people who find fault because Damao aro publtehed in one case would be the very first to com- plain it they were suppressed en another. The better way to avoid publicity in the matter of offenoes against the law is not to be found guilty of them. WHY NOT MORE KINDNESS? The plea to -day is for more mercy, toward the failings and shortoomings of one -another. Every person is cnn- scions, deep down in the heart, that he or she is not perfect, no matter how mush they would like to impress upon others that they are. Granted this, then why oan we not be more merciful to others? Why when two friends meet should it be neoes- eery for them to spend their time in pulling to pieces the character or reputation of some one else? Have you ever noticed in passing groups of pea• ple on the street, how in nine oases out of ton, the particle of conversation whioh fleets to your ear, is a odd - ohm of some absent friend? Why should this be the case? Would it 'not be much kinder if we all should pass by in silence, what we think to be the faults of others It may be, by the way, that the fault is entirely the pro - dilation of your own brain, and the friend is, in that partiouler at least, entirely innocent. There is something infinitely more honorable in going to a person, and in a kindly manner, explaining to them, wherein, in your opinion, they might make themselves more agreeable, more use- ful, or whatever the case may be. In this way, you would be assisting year friend to attain the mark which yon desire him to reaoh, and whish, in the other case, you would be censuring him for not having attained. It seems to be human nature to above a man down hill, rather than to lift him up. Perhaps, as we become oonseious of your own faults and fail- ings, we gain a morbid satisfaction and comfort in gloating over the eine of others and consoling ourselves that we are not the worst. We should also ooneider that no one i9 competent to fairly judge another. It is impossible for one to enter so deeply into the heart of another, as to be thoroughly conversant with all the circumstances attending even one par- ticular action or inaction. Another thing whish is, if anything, worse than criticism. It is the habit of holding others up to ridicule. Some people seem to possess that mean na- ture which will not permit of enjoy- ment, melees it be at the expense of another. It is bad enough. When out In a company to he held bp to ridicule and made the laughing stook of the crowd, bat it is immeasurably worse, if when absent your name is so teed. Nothing can so mite the pleasure of an evening for a ehy or sensitive per- son than to be given the impression that he or she is being laughed at. Even an unkind smile, at a critical moment, may give this impression, and cause a person to feel uncon3fortably embarrassed for the rest of the even- ing, Let ut be more merciful and show Mote kindness one to another, and it will surely pay with interest, in the long rim. Have you over noticed that the per. Non, who is most apt to find fault, in• dnlge in unkind oritiCiem, or hold others Up to ridionl isthe one on Whom the e W bm t o p , tablets will be turned at the very first Opportunity. Ie not this at it should be? Steely, the one who finds sport in snoh unkindness should be paid back in the Sarna coils, that he may know for him• self what itis like. 1iave yott e.t.a experienced, in de. patting from one who has suooeeded in pulling to pieces avail one whoin ha or ehe could oonveniently think of, that miserable seneati0n, that in alt 1 1 baba it on would be thenext.

There was a controversy in the chnroh at Rome between the Gentile and the Jewish believers about meats and days; but in the eyes of God eves it in any sense a moral issue, as to which were right, those who °boomed certain days and refrained from certain kinds of meat, or those who esteemed all days alike and ate all kinds of meat fit for food? Did one Christian in Rome have any right to impute sin to another Christian, who believed and, therefore, acted, dif- ferently in the matter of meats and days, to what the objector's conscience would allow him to sot? Does this Oommandment not to judge, forbid us forming an opinion oencerning any doubtful action of oar brother; and if not what does it for- bid?

What It Means to Man to Be a Pioneer In Thought, To be a pioneer in thought 10 tot stand alone with nature, not for a few winutes, but for life. The isolatenesa of the few ,great mlads of each ggs- eratiau of men le utterly undreamed of, for want of understanding, by; those about thein. Yet think what it is to pass one's days In a thought world where the thinker roams alone; to grapple with problems the very terms of which are bey0ed ordinary comprehension and the solt[tion appre- (eiated only in years to come; to con- template in lonely ecstasy, after still lonelier despair, the revelation that comes with months and more of pou- deriug. When some oue asked New- ton ewton how be came to make his wonder- i ful discoveries he replied, "Simply by always thinking about them." Consid- er Kepler toiling year after year fruit- lessly for some ratio that should link the planet's motions by a general law, calculating assiduously and putting bypothesis after hypothesis aside as he found it would not work'untii at last, after almost inconceivable toil, be bit upon the one that would. As if thls loneliness by nature were not enough, it must needs be accen- tuated by mean, for be rises in suck cases in chorus to condemn. Consider Darwin, in patient study, testing the working out of natural selection and adding fMet to fact, only to have the whole denounced as ridiculously ab- surd. Think you the denunciations of the master while living are wholly compensated by the plaudits after he is dead? The loneliness of greatness is the price men make the genius' pay for posthumous renown. -Percival: Lowell in Atlantic. THE COOK'S FAULT. No Wonder the Bird Was Not Tender When Served. One of the most annoying things about swans is that they live to an extremely great age and that it is impossible for the ordinary observer to guess what their years may be. President Grover Cleveland once had an amusing experience with some swans, according to a writer in the American Magazine. He bad been fn the south shooting and brought home a number of wild swans, one of which he sent to each member of his cabi- net and to some other associates. "All the boys," said Mr, Cleveland, `thanked me politely for having re- membered them, but none of them seemed to have much to say about how they enjoyed the birds. "Carlisle, I found, bad his cooked on a night wben he was dining out. Another, when I asked him, said he hoped I wouldn't mind, but he had sent his home to bis old mother. Thur- ber didn't mention bis bird at all for two days. Finally I asked him about it. " `Thurber, did you get that swan all right?' "Yes, sir -oh, yes, I got the Swart ail right, thank yon,' and he bent over his desk and seemed very busy, " `Fine bird,' I said. " `Yes, sir, fine bird,' and he went on working. "'Enjoy eating him, Thurber?' "He waited a minute, and then he said: `Well, sir, I guess they didn't cook him right at my house. They cooked him only two days.' And he went on working without cracking a smile." Edible Flowers of India. litany edible flowers, it appears, are to be found in India. One of the most appreciated grows on a free about which we have very little Information, but which in the country itself is named the "mhowad." The natives consume an enormous number of these flowers, whose pale yellow corolIae are pulpy and thick, and they prepare them in various ways. When they are fresh they are put itt cakes, to which they give a sweet flavor, but they are more especially, used for making bread after they have been dried and reduced to flour. By allowing them to ferment a kind of wine is produced, and by distilling them a brandy is obtained of which the Hindoos are very fond. -Vulgarisa- tion Scientiflque. A bandy of 1770.
