The lying and virion attacks that
have been made upuu the Government
have neither hastened. tleraye.l nor

that there vetoed be a war. Once that

stead e' praising the promptuest of
the Goverment, and giving their
moral support to its work, the Tory
papers bad their reporters rkulklla,;

to answer a reporter's question in
the hall, that laugh meant that be

and that Quebec would never cement

ezpeales of the Transvaal. contingent
by the Canadian taxpayers. These
are semples of the conduct of Tory
pstriota And as 111 It was not bad
enough for them to try to spit Can-
ada into two hostile camps by their
unwarranted abuse of the French -
r Canadlans, the Tory miscreants must
here tabbed their lies to Londpo. for a
despatch from teat olty says, " the
story which le seat by Reuter's News
Agency that Mr. Tarte Is leading a
revo:4 of the French-Oa0adta0 section
of the (kbinet against tits sending of
the contingent is not credited here.
The Engl4ah public is awaiting witk
great Interest a lucid, unbiased state-
ment on that aubjeet." Of course the
lie will travel farther and taster than
this refutattoo, for EoglIMIlden will
find It difficult to understand that
Canadian Tortes cared more for the
possible opportunity l0 make a- little
political capital than they cared to
beep the mother country to whose in-
terests they professed to be devoted. -
In the Government otfh•lal state-

the Dominion contingent together. In

the Canadian units of 125 officer% and

HOW TO DRINK MATER.
Professor BUkham says there are
felt people who thoroughly reeal!se the
value of water as a beverage. or who
know how to obtain the greatest ad-
vantage from It. The effects prcdooed
by the drinking of water vary with
the manner in w ceer it is drank. If,
for lnstanoa a pint of cold water be
ewallowee as a large' draught, or It

A set of experiments lass recently
been carried out by a thorough:y
relent -leo analytical chemust to test
the truth df this theory, and It turns
out that 1.1 there W any natural dlt-
terence the advantage `teats with
white -.holed eggs, so away goes one
strong reason for keeping Lanoline
fowls. These fowls lay the deepest -
tinted eggs of any fow:s in existence.
If they do lay a richer egg than any
other tow: R must spring from an-
other cause, and that 1s concentra-

of all the large breeds of fowls. It Is
quite conceivable that it la possible
that the smaller elan. of eggs tali
by the larger fowls may be richer,
but we have log held the opinion that
the principal factor In gluing the
richness and p'easantnees of eggs Is
the food they eat, and from our own
absenatlos the very best flavored
erw are produced by fowls baying a
free reran leathery hl:dddes, and no
doubt the richness of tie byes Is
derived from the targe amount of in-
sects pretenders. Tim inference, then,
1s that if you want , rIoh17 flavored
eggs you most take orbe that your
fowls have • fair supply of sound,

that the balk of animal food procured

, We have no wish or intention
of writing anything to injure the re-
pots of Iangehen fools or any other

fess to have a !tiring for dark -shelled
egg., and we are yet In doubt as
to whether any analysis can seize upon
the meet valuable property of a
fresh egg -viz., Its flavor. WbIlet we,
therefore, are prepared to adopt the
accuracy of the chemist's deductions
as to the actual feeding values of
the different eggs, we are still In-
clined to the opinlon that small dark -
shelled eggs aero of rkker flavor than
the large white -shelled aloes, but we
also badleye that food has the most
Important part to play, and for the
reason that the eggs of hens fed too
freely on potatoes are liable to be
very muck racking In richness of fla-
vor. The plain lemon from these re-
marks (which remarks rre based on
facts) is that If you wish to have rich-
ly -flavored eggs you must feed rich
and varied food, a fair amount of
