Perhaps the most prominent o1 these, on account of hi great w&alLh, is An- drew Carnegie, the American million- aire. His hobby seems to run in the line of donating too or establishing flee. libraries in the United States, Great Britain and Canada. Mr. William Robins, of \Valkerville, in a very able article gives some very pregnant, reit- sons egsons why British subjects should think well before accepting donations from this gentleman. There are car tail). things which we Canadians, ii common with all true,Britishers, hold very dear, and of which we feel w may be justly proud. They are otu country, the splendid Empire to which we belong, our forth of government, 't constitutional monarchy under `which we enjoy a freedom unsurpassed since the world, began; the navy and ,army, whose glorions achievements no words could over suite. Upon all these Mr. Carnegie bas set forth his viewes in print in no complimentary terms. Of the Royal' family he writes in his "Tri- umphant Democracy. These .royal people are only excrescences upon the State. The setters of . bad example and the very core round which the worst vices of English' life gather and fester. We will say right here that no bigger lie. was ever put ' in print. No purer court than that of late belov- ed Queen was ever known and univer- sally admitted. Of Canada he writes: Canada's hypocritical and ungrateful conduct merits and inspires only; con- tempt. In speaking of the King he re- marks that he who could so demean. 311ar1a., that himself as to kiss his hand would' have shown better taste to have knocked him clown. In referring to the Queen he writes' that the Royal mother of her people cannot be induced to sup port her own children during life,or to bury them, decently at death as long public can : be further bled. In a,sthe speaking of the land of his birth, Scot- land: The mall born abroad, like my- self, under such institutions insult him T comes insult G athis birth. Zheret belts in we are at a loss to know. Be con- trasts his native land "with his be- loved Republic under 'whose equal laws I am made the peer of any man, although denied political equality by my native land." Mr. Carnegieknows full well there is no goveri:ment.to-day in any country which is more demo- cratic in the true sense of the term than the British. A government by the people, not as in the States, select- ed by the President. Mr. Robins has, undoubtedly shown that- self-respect- ing British subjects should decline ac- eepting any of proffered thousands, e t NOTES AND C01IMEHTS Chickens that found their way to life from the darknessof an egg -shell, without the aid of hen or incubator is the unusual happening reported from Middlemiss. Hens were in the habit of laying about a : straw stack at Noah Annett's place, until the 'stack was, blown over by a violent wind storm. Monday Mr. Annettheard the peeying of chicks from beneath the straw, and removing it found;, two Black Minorca chicks, well-developed. The heat of the straw hatched the eggs, BEWARE OF SHARKS. Complaint is already coming from Buffalo that Canadian money is being refused except at a discount. At Buf- falo, as at Port Huron, Detroit, Nia- gara Falls, and ia-garaFalis,,and other frontier towns where the international traffic is con- stant, Canadian money has freely passed, as has American money at the corresponding points on the Canadian side. This Buffalo refusal is perhaps the work of Exposition "grafters" up to every dodge to make a few pennies ar the expense of the visitors. Cana- dians should' not allow themselves to be fleeced by such a - pretty trick. There are hundreds of places in Buf- falo where Canadian money will: be gladly welcomed' at par.—London Free Press. CANADA'S UNKNOWN WILDS. A Wathington despatch based upon a report made by Hon. A. G. Seyfert, 0.S. Consul at Stratford, touches in- terestingly on some points thus: The Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, in his last reports ' makes the amazing statement that practically nothing is known of one-third of the Dominion. So states United States Consul Seyfert at Stratford,in a'report to the State Department.` It is shown that more than a million and a quarter square miles of Canadian territory are yet unexplored. This includes the in- hospitable:detached arctic portions,. but aside from them fully 9.54,000 square miles are, for all practical pur poses, entirely unknown. The easter ly area contains the greatest,extent of g unexplored lored territory. It comprises the entire interior of the Labra. • dor peninsula, or Northeast Territory in all 280,040 sgt1ahe Miles, or mors than twice the size' of Great Phdtalr and Ireland The indications ax•e,si,vs Consul Seyfert, that during: the next five years at least .5,000 mules of ma , 't � t rou } rn , is 'bc completed c.d h 1 .1 railroad will p g the Dominion, twist' of which will i'•nr throe _h the unexplored wilderness,a it is recognized thatraiiroeds are pri warily essential to the opening' tip o this vast territory.

Denison and Patrol of Scouts Said to Have Been Captured • —President McKinley Will Not Re- ceive Mr. Kruger -Has Declined to Meet Him in Any Wtiy, • Johannesburg•, May 3. -Gen.

Parents will be interested in an e uc;htional exPeriment in San Erancisc where children who had home wor and children who had none were con pared at the end of the given time.'I each case their standing was quite as good, and in one class the deportment was admitted to be better. The many lessons which'' little children weauil con over when they should be in he are a sore trial toamany a mother wh realizes that the education of th schools is not the whole of educatio and who wonders when and where the tired out little ones ilr•e to get rest. They must,.if they are to grow into strong men and women, physically, have a good deal of outdoor exercise. The child who is in school until o'clock and who has many home lessons gets very little change for home life. A certain amount of home walla is, no doubt, of great benefit, but something should he done to stop this cramming of children's beads which will result in the break down of their bodies. Another British 'Victory. London, May 6.—The War'Office has received' the following report afrom Lord Kitchener, under- date of o Pretoria, May 3: '`Ten Boers have e been killed, three wounded, 13 have ,i surrendered, and 280,000 rounds of small ° arm ammunition, 100 wagons and 2,070 horses have been captured since last report/' Denison's Scouts Captured. London, May 6. --"News 'has arriv- ed here;" says the Cape Town 'corre- spondent of The Daily Express, "that Col. ,Denison, with a patrol of scouts, has been captured, The loca- tion of the mishap' is not known in Cape Town." Refugees Return to Johannesbur A New York roan wants to raffle himself off nl ttr•ilnonially at $5.00 ; chance to as many young women as will buy tickets.` He wants to: matey and at, the same time get enough money to start the:, practice of medi- cine. The young man is not ready:, to liave his name or address published, as he does not want anything to- :happen that might interfere with the success of his plan. Report quotes hire as saying:--" I have been ten years in the country. I am 28 years old. I worked hard, passed the regeirts' exa- mination, and entered Cornell. Medi- cal School. By working during voca- tions, doing tutoring and other task's. 1 managed to support myself until I got my 'doctor's diploma. Now I want to marry, "settle, down, and be- gin practicing in a proper manner. 1 have not the necessary moue so I y, o- their ha thought out the marrying plain by raffle. My idea is to have the contest open for a certain set period, say three months. The tic). ets to be num- bered and to cost $5 each. I want to get some responsible person to 'whom,. the public has confidence to take charge of the matter. I think 2,000 or 3,000 tickets will be sold. That would be $10,000 or $15,000—a pretty stiff price for - a husband. • But the young woman will share the little for- tune with rne for the investment of $5.,, BINDER TWINE MUST BE STAMPED. Twine dealers should make a mental note of the fact that all binder twine, sold in Canada most now be stamped to show the number nlir ei of feet of twine per pound in the ball Owing to the :,itrong agitation in favor of legislation to this end, the following Act was pass- ed at the 1900 session of the Federal Parliament: 1. -Upon, or attached to, every ball of binder twine offered for sale there shall be a stamp with the name of the manufacturer or importer stating the nurnber of feet per .pound n such ball. 2. -:Every` manufacturer or importer, wbo neglects to comply with the provisions of this isection` shall upon summary conviction, be liable to.a penalty of 25 cents per ball, but no deficiency in the number of feet contained in any ball shall be deemed a contravention of this sec- tion unless such deficiency exceeds five per cent, of the length stated upon such stamp. The cause of the ;agita- tion which led the Government to enact the above : was the practice of some manufacturers of selling 550 or 600 feet twine balls, which did not average more than 475 or 500 feet to the pound. This practice became so pronounced in some sections that the consumers and the trade generally were sufficiently aroused to press the government to take action, SUICIDE OF A FARMER.
