English ex- changes fora a .pretty full report of an .a lueutial meeting held. lately in Lon dem, Eng., at the iustance of the Duke etet Westminster, in the interests of tem - ;prance reform, Our readers generals lir may not be aware of the adoption EaScan dlea via, Norway, and Sweden, tier what is known as the Gothenburg :system, by which to mitigate the evil of intemperance legislation has been ,?opted and successfully worked in :t'owtheru Europe for meetiug the ��:,ews of teetotallers and of those en- gaged in the manufacture ofintoxicat- drinks, The late Mr. Bright in leeeee, and Mr. Gladstone in 1890, had expressed themselves favorable to the adoption of the moderate plan of Tem. •!ranee reform known as the Gothen- n g system. As voices in a speech rFeliyered by the Right Hon. dos. Cham- •iserlaiu, M.. P., ou the occasion above etejerred to, the plan so successful in veudinavie consists le giving parka sentary powers to a public company, ee..rust, to purchase all the lieeuses ,casting in town and cities or country .Letricts—thus compeusating vested sus- tained for any loss or outlay sus- ined by brewers and others engaged fee the liquor trade, This, Mr. Cham- berlain contended, was a simple matter a common jestiee tiro, thosi: who were 'Legally entitled to be protected in their 'business. Then the next provision of tae Gothenburg system is to preclude the trust from dividing the money gong those who might be concerned beyond the barest interest. One important condition of such a leg- alized. trust would be to prevent any pecuniary adyantages to be derived &ern the sale of drink. The promoters ou this measure do not pretend to wept the prohibition principle. Their s a ect is the lessening of the eyils of iunkenness. As to the moderate use of alcohol in any form, that is left an open question, The liberty of the sub - feet. is not to be interfered with in any degree. To abolish the drinking habit n_ the desire on the part of many to zesort to stimulants, would be a work of supererogation. The thing is situp ll' impossible while human nature is - c sn,stituted as it now is—where men would resort to opium, or absinthe, ore Loral, or some other things ten thous- and times worse than alcoholic liquor. 'T.he great problem to be solved by the adoption of the Gothenburg system Harald be the removal of vested inter este in the case of distillers. brewers, and hotel keepers, This point being settled, all the rest would easily toilow; and with the recent progress made in temperance reform, and the good sense a �w law-abiding community in its fav- or, we cannot doubt that the plan now Ding. ventilated in England, by lead= ti g men among the nobility and epis• tropate clergy (if adopted) would go leog to mitigate the evils of intemper- emee and produce a nation character - ?zed by sobriety and morality. TEE ROOT OFTIIE EVIL. The Montreal Herald is still of opin- : bra that the protection policy of the 'i'nited States is responsible for the yio- 'lent doings of the Chicago mob, and eiz,vilar breeches of the peace which lave of late taken place in the United States. The Herald's argum.eat is that elk scum of old world population was attracted to the United States not by "the promise of limitless farming lands" But by tithe fleshpots that were held oat Bay the United States protectionists," 'The Herald seems to forget the fact haat, with the exception of those who went from the British Islands, the peo Ree attracted to the United States were from countries in which the protective ;mea obtained. These people had pro- tection at home, where, according to she Herald, they were "brutalized in the unsavory conditions of lite in the industrial centres of Europe." Ofm «ise the Herald will admit that the people who went to the. United States from the free trade British Islands 'erere not the people who created , the disturbance, If, then, these disturbers f the peace had been "brutalized" at ithome, under a System of protection, there was Nothing in a similar protect Bye system in the United States to at - met them thither. Canada also has a j yoteetive system, and these people Valve not been attracted to this eotintry Ty the fleshpots held out by' Canadian protectionists, People do not fly from the evils of protection to plunge them. self:- into similiar evils. We think the Herald would better look elsewhere far a reason for the influx lnto the ri - r y. The poiut to the United States as an exam- p.e of how a free people may govern teemselyes and prosper, The turbulent people who have been "brutalized in the unsavory conditions" of life under monarchial government in Europe flock to the United States expecting there to find the "freedom" which they have talked for, and dynamited for, and ser- ved time in prison for They have heard the boast of. the 'freedom and equality" in the United States, and they pour into that country expecting to find freedom to do as they please. When they get there they find that law and order are insisted upon there as at home, that the fact that they may have a voice in the selection of the king do_sn't prevent that king from enfore tug the law. The consequence is trouble. The "monarchial" Hag that floats over Canada keeps these people away from this country. They imagine that "freedom" cannot exist under a flag of that sort, and they fight shy of this crown -ridden colony,—Hamilton Spectator. MANITOBA ALL RIVET. Afew years ago some Ontario farm- ers went oyer into the State of New York. They found that the condition of the Canadian farmer was better than that of his American brother. Among other things they found that agricul- tural implements were cheaper in On tario than in the State of New York. This was a sad blow to the Ontario Grita papers. They had been. affirming that the American implements were cheaper and that the Ontario farmer was "taxed" by the N. P. But the re- port of the investigating farmers knocked that pretense into smither- eens. Then the Ontario Grit papers turned their attention to Manitoba. If not here, at least there the farmer was suffering. The N, P. was on his neck, and the Ontario Grits wept oceans of tears over the woes of the unfortunate tiller of Manitoba soil. Grit merch ants in Winnipeg met and passed reso lutions. These horny -fisted farmers, too, were suffering on account of the duty on their reapers and mowers and hay rakes. They sent their resolutions to Ottawa and the Ontario Grit papers howled m chorus, and wept for the horuy-fisted merchant -farmers of Win- nipeg. Then parliament met, and in accord- ance with a promise made by govern ment, certain changes were made in the tariff. Still the Ontario Grit papers were not happy. They were still sure that that gigantic incubus, the N. P. was hanging to the bucolic neck in Manitoba. But now pops up the Win nipeg Nor' -Wester, edited by Mr. Lux- ton, a life-long Reforn er, and always a vigorous opponent of the N. P. and the Tory government. The Nor' -Wester makes this declaration: There is no tariff issue in the North- west. We have got nearly all the con cessions we asked for, and perhaps quite all we could reasonably claim We have been given free lumber, and the duty on agricultural implements, binder twine and coal oil have been re dueed. The tariff has been taken off the list of issues so far as this portion of the country is concerned. Our esteemed Grit contemporaries may now dry their Manitoba tears and fall back on the duty on the poor man's piano and broadcloth. SUCCESSION DUTIES ACT 1892.

St Mary's: Feta, lie revaiie FEwr.— A miraculous escape from serious in- jur,', if not death, was experienced, Thursday evening, by Alice, the five year old daughter of Mr, Gillian Mc Lean, of the National hotel. The little girl was amusing herself by swinging by the hands from the rail of a landing of an outside stairway at the back of the hotel, when she overbalanced and was precipitated fifteen feet to the ground, alighting on her head, The injuries she sustained were at first thought to be of a serious nature but after a few hours of rest and quiet, the little girl rallied and is at pi'eseut hone the worse for her adventure. Gone Into Liquidation, The Cauadian Masonic Mutual Bene- fit Association, after twenty-two years' existence, found that, owing to the in• creased heayy assessments, consequent upon the extreme old age of its mem- bers, it could not continue doing busi- ness on the old system of assessment, and the Inspector of Insurance has or- dered that the Association go into lige uidation at once. Every effort was made by the old Directors, and also by the new Board, to revivify the Associ- ation, but they proved fruitless, and lately several members who were dis• satisfied with the premiums demanded by newest the v t scheme complained to the Registrar of Friendly Societies, and he at once proceeded to investigate the affairs of the Association. The result of the examination convinced him th'it it would be impossible to continue un- der the circumstances, and he ordered a winding -up, and appointed Mr. An- drew Ellis, Secretary -Treasurer of the Association, as the liquidator. The ap- pointment cannot be otherwise than pleasing to all who have tho welfare of the Association at heart. Mr, Ellis has a thorough knowledge of the business affairs of the Society, and will liquidate at as small a cost as possible. How Weeds Travel. It is a curious study to note the dif ferent ways in which the seeds of plants attach themselves to animals. The Spanish needle has two sharp points, each with barbs to hold them to their place, the cockle bur is covered all over' with sharp hooks and each bur con- tains two seeds, one of which is said to. grow the first year and the other later. The burdock and the beggars, lice are familiar to our readers; the latter is called sticklight on account of the per- sistency with which it adhers. The martynia is a curious example of this class ;the seed pods grow long and point- ed, and curved so as to form a hook, and when they dry, the pod, which is several inches long, opeus at the point, but remains hinged at the stein, and the open paints are as sharp as a cat's claws and will adhere to a boot leg even, and then the seeds scatter as the plant is carried along. 'fhe wind dis- persed seeds embrace a great variety, the most numerous of which are those that like the thistle and dandelion are carried by down, which adheres to. the seed. A little observation will show very many of this class. Then we have different kinds of maple and oth- er seeds, which have wings and fly. A single maple tree will seed several ac- res, as the seeds are so arranged that the wings give them a rotary motion, jut as a bird with one wing broken, which flutters along at an angle, •;and reaches the ground a long way from where it was shot. Tbere are other plants which trayel before the wind on the ground, scattering' their seed as they go, ofwhich the "tumble weed" of the prairie is perhaps the best example. Some of the annual grasses have also this faculty of locomotion, All of this Class of plants, as they ripen, decay at the surface and become detached and then spread out so as to catch the. breeze and roll along. The white cloy= er spreads in this way; as the heads ripen half the petals turn down, so that the head becomes almost a perfect sphere, and when ripe the head breaks from the stem and is rolled along by the wind until it is stopped by . some impediment. Clinton: A few days since the wife of Mr. Adam Foster, and baby had a narrow escape from serious injury. Mrs. Foster was crossing the track on Victoria street with the baby in a car- riage, ar-ria e. A box car stood close to the crossing, and Mrs. Foster did not oh serve that an engine was attached to it for just as she got behind the car the engine, bathed, kneck ing over the car- riage, Quick as possible Mrs. Foster snatched the baby out of death's jaws, while the car destroyed the buggy. St. Marys: Richardson Faulkner, of St, Marys, who was expelled from the Sons of Scotland on the ground that he was of Irish birth and who proved that he was born in the land of the lrcathee, states that he was born in Ayrshire,not ArgVleshire, b7 year's ago, his nati ve town being' Irvine. lie added: "This is the third time the Grand Camp of Sons of Seetland has hen defeated n, the case at Osgoode Hall, and it -tion%' lies with roc; to look for redress, which 1 purpose doing fit SK,OiiO damages for Wrongfully being dispelled,", Joy Inexpressible Another Boy's Life Saved Health Blighted by Scrofula and Hip Disease. Perfect Cure, Happiness and Health elven by Hood's Sarsaparilla. ;o1?,0� Exeter, N. FL "C. r. Mood &s Co., Lowell, Mass.: "I cannot praise Hood's Sarsaparilla enough for what it his done for my boy. Sumo four years 'ago, when six years old, George a'as attacked by hip disease in his right leg. tiro had to get lihn a pair of crutches, with which he was able to move about, but became badly deformed. Wo had to have his right leg lanced just above tho knee. in a few weeks a second sore broke out both discharging freely. Agonizing p1ainsafflicted him, ho could not bear to`be moved, his growth was stopped and He Was a Mere Skeieton. He had no appetite, and it was hard work to make slim eat enough to keep frim alive. A few weeks later wo had leis hip lanced, and follow- Mg this five other eruptions broke out, making eight running sores in all. Wo dict all we could for hien, but he grew weaker every day, al- though we had three of the best physicians. As a last resort wo were prevailed upon by relatives who had taken Hood's Sarsa- parilla with beneficial results to give the medi- cine a trial. We got one bottle about the first of March, 1802, and he had taken the medicine only a few days when his appetite began to improve. When he had taken one bottle he could move about a little with his crutches, which he had not been able to use for the pre- cedingthree months. We continued faithfully with ood's Sarsaparilla, and in a months he was Able to Be Dressed and go about the house without the crutches. He has now taken Hood's Sarsaparilla regularly for eighteen months, and for the past six months has been without the crutches, which he has outgrown by several inches. The sores have all rapidly with los nthe , onlexception th© scars and one occasional limp remaining as reminders of his suffering. HoocIs Cures Hood's Sarsaparilla in his case has truly done wonders, and he is daily gaining in flesh and good color. He runs about and plays as lively as any child. We feel an inexpressible joy at c having our boy restored to health, and we always speak in the highest terms of Hood's Sarsaparilla." MRS. HENRY W. MIIRPBy, Exeter, New Hampshire.
