Death or Bishop Carmichael
• Right Rev. James Carmichael, Lord
Bishop of Montreal, .and formerly of
St Paul's, Clinton, died at 7 o'clock
Monday morning at Bishop's Court.
He preached at the morning service in
Christ Church Cathedral Sunday. and
was attacked by a sudden heart.weak-
ness at the close of the sermon. In•the
afternoon he tbok another attack. The
medical men • Who were •summoned,
saw that it was a very serious attack
of heart failure, and. the )3iehop was
carried to bed, and the members of his
family weresninmoned.
• The laishOp retained cOnscionsness
until six. o'clock Monday morning, but
was unconscitaas for the lest hour*, •
Christ Church.Cathedral was crowd-
ed when Bishop Carmichael preached
the sermon that was' to be his last. His
theme was 'the Pan -Anglican Congress.
and the Lanabeth •Conference.'
It Wasthe first sermon which his
Lordship had preached sincehis return
from England. His voice was clear and
firm, and it did not appear •that the
sermon was taking his Lordship's
strength. Almost immediately after
pronouncing the benecliction,however,
he turned to the 'Vicar, Rev. Dr. Sy-
monds, who was standing deep to his
Lordship at the • altar, and said, "I
think 1 am going tO faint." • -
The vicar assisted the Bishop to the
vestry, wherea glass ofwater was
brought to his Lordship, Who revived
at once, so much so that , he said the
closing ; rayer witl. the choir in the
chapter house at the close of the serv-
ice. " He remained; in the chapterhouse
for some time, chatting with Various
people, and Dr Symonds thought the
attack had passed.

A case of cririlinal neglect has Come to
light at Raith Sask., A little child
Was badly burned on June 26 hist, Dr
•Pield was informed of the case and
v;sited the home, but the father refus-
ed to allow him to administer treat-
ment; althoudli he offered to do it
practically for nothing. Home reme-
dies, consisting of liberal doses Of axle
grease, were applied to the burned
portion, Which was one side and arm.
The result was far from pleasant. The
arm grew 'fast to the side, and the
child was in a fait way to being maim:
ed for life. De Field again took a hand
in, the case, and last week had the
childbrought into the hospital, where
an operation was 'performed to sepal..
ate the atm from the side and make it
possible for the child to have the use
of its arm The operation was success-
fully carried out, and the prospects
are favorable. The father Was arrest-
ed' for criminal neglect, and will prob-
ably have to undergo punishment for
his refusal to have proper attention
given the child.

The reception given to Sir Wilfrid
Laurier at Niagara last week was the
most magnificent one ever tendered a
public man in Canada.. Twenty thous-
and enthusiastic achnners of the pre-
mier cheered themselves home upon
his rising to address them. Lied this in
Conservative Ontario. Ontario may
support a Conservative administration
in the local House but in Federal poli-
tico Sir Wilfrid is their choice. It was
a recePtion of which any man might be
proud, and it is indicative of the great
victory which awaits 'he Liberal party
at the coming elections. Sir Wilfrid
has good cause for pride, In twelve
years there' hes not been one single act
of corruption proved against any mem-
ber a his Governrnent. How different
trona the days of former rule! There
have been instances ot larger prices be.

Furniture..
Do you know that when a room is properly paper-
ed, the paper, to a lame extent, takes the place
of furniture, Didn't you ever notice how. handsome -
warm -patterned Paper takes away the .bare, unfinished
look? One paper is not suited to all rooms—that's
what keeps: the manufacturers busy, That's what

Undoubtedly the Work of the Great
Genuis. • .
•
The Great Wall is often stigmatized
as a moment of human shortsightea-
itess and folly by many ;who are
willing to rhapsodize over the Great
Pyramid. A,great architectural work
the Pyramid was not. It was simply,'
IL Stone tumulus* and everything goes
to prove that it was nothieg mere than
a superlative mausoleum. a monument
of the vanity of the monarch who Was
entombed beneath it; and • considered
either as mere bulk or as an engineer-
ing feat, it sinks with utter insignifi-
cance be:•lite the Great Wail,a work
of vast practical utility. • . ••
lt is, in fact, the Great Wall more
than any bing.when stamps its fontal,-
er for all time what he was -a roan of
the highest order of genuis, •possibly
the greatest genius who has borne
away on the earth: • The Chinese of

Critical stage in the course of their rte.
velopment and each nation suceeeded
in-produiog a -hero -at -the -right mom-
ent to 1eid it to • the accomplishment
of its destiny. The prescience with
which Julius Caesar, confrc nted with
the problem of finding a, suitable de-
fensive frontier for theRoman Empire
solved it by the rccupanta of the line
of the Rhine, is rightly considered as
one of the Chief reasons ,for his ' pre-
eminent place in the : world's history.
The guarided.river that the genius of '
the:great .dictator had made thefront-

five Centuries. Chi Luang -ti was'eon-
frepted With the Same probleM; he '
solved it with equal prominence and ;
greater success l'y an inspiration
or . genius unparalled in history.
Where nature had placed no banger
he reared an artificial one, and for
centuries the northernbarbarians
pressing down from the great Central
tableland in ,train to burst through the.
bulwarks which he had interposed be-
t-• een their ravening hordes and the
rkh plains of China. •
Probably the Great Wall was a
more formidable obstacle to the var.
barians of Central Asia than die
Rhine to the Gernatnic hordes of
Europe. It was at once a well defined
froetier, it magnificent, military- road
and an impregnablv.intrenched picket

were probably all occupied by pickets
and communicaticn maintained nycav-
