NOTES4 INID COMMENTS
We, shall renognize the purport of
the joint mete now addressed by
Russia and .Fritece to the other
greae p,owere interested in the Fer
East, if we recall the terms of the
British-Ja,panese Treaty to Which
the not rust be regarded a,E4 a re-,
• ply, Sulestantially, the treaty pre-
vided that, in the event of a 'Cone'
flint between Russia, and Japan, the
latter power should be left to dght
'eingle-handed so long as her oppon-
ent ehould receive no support fro=
• a third. 'newer ; but that, in dase
Russia should obtain help froiu
• third power, as, for example, her
F'reneh then Japan, on her side,
anight eount Q11 the 'assistance of
Great Britain. Under , eircum-
. *tames, the treaty was conserued as
. an admonition that Ruseia would
do Weil to withdraw her troops from
Maneheria and to cease meddling in
Corea. •
That, for the present, at all eeents
'Ramie, will obey the adnionition
seems probable, but, to save her
dignity, shee now pretends by the
jot note that she 'has. intended all
along to follow the course pre,scrib-
ed. The signatories' of the joint note
begin by eisserting that they • have
repeatedly expressed the purpose of
upholding the open door in "China,"
.and, that they view with satisfaction
• • the affirmation of the same principle
by reat Britain and Japan. We
hate put 'the word '"Ciiina" in quit-
tatiog. marks; because it is. am-
biguous, very different meanings hav-
ing been hitherto assigned to it by
Itusika, and her French ally on the
one hand, and by J a.pan, Great Brit-
• ain and the United States open the
other. Russia, has shown by her
acts, that is to say, by her military
occupation of Mukden, Newchwang
and other strategic points, and by
her attempt to make the occupation
permanent through a formal. cession
oi. the territory occupied., that, in.
her eyes, "China" means the region
south of the Great Wall and should
not include Manchuria. On. the other
hand, Japan, Great Britain and' the
:United 'States have persistently held
Manehuria to be an inseparable part
Of the Chinese, Empire, and, conse-
quently, think that the Russian sol-
diers should be Withdrawn as cruickly
• .
as possible froni the points tempor-
arily occupied. As Russia, since the
• announcement of the British -Japan-
ese Treaty, has ceased trying to se-
• cure. exclusive mining and industrial
privileges in Manchuria, and has
consented to fix early dates for the
removal of her troops from that pro-
vince, we assume that she has ve-
nouneed her forraer interpretation of
• . the word "China," and in the joint
note has given it the, more compre-
hensiVe meaning to which We have
referred.
3.t. is in the last paragraph of the
joint note that some British readers
profess to detect a suspicious or
minatory, tenor, but, for our part,
we can see in it nothing that was
not already known, to wit : the in-
tention of France and Russia to act
together in the Par East. The words
are: "They. themselves (the •signa-
tories of the joint note) being also
obliged to take into consideration
• the eventuality of aggressive action
en the part of a third power, or of
fresh troubles • in China jeoparding
the integrity and free development
• of that power, and becoming amen -
ace to their own interests, the two
allied Governments reserve it to
themselees to consider, in such onse,
means of assuring their protection."
This' • means, apparently, that, if
Japan, relying on the fact that, as
yet, the Trans-Siberian Railway is.
not adapted for, military purposes,
should' 'seize the opportunity Lo at-
tack Russia while the latter power
is' weak on' its eastern frontier,
• Frame° would lend the aid of her
fleet to her ally, in, spite of her
knowledge that this act would bring
Great Britain into the arena on the
other side. In other words, the
British Foreign Office will be dise
appointed, if it entered into the
trinity with Japan on the assump-
tion that it would thereby •avert the
interference of any third power with
a. duel between the Czar and the
. Mikado. The joint note means that,
if there is any collision at all on
the Pacific, coast of Asia, it will not
be a duel, but,a quadrangular light.
The Hellish Government, which must
•.ffeSire to avoid all additional bur -
;dens wbile its resources are severely
taxed fn .South Africa., will, in view
of the position now openly taken by
France, 4:io its utmost to prevent HS

you named a particular brand of

"Dr. Stevenson Macadam, Lectur-
er . on Chemistry, Surgeon's
• Edinburgh, describes the destructive
property of soda upon Wool very
graphically. .
'After mentioning how strong al-.
kali such as potash and soda, disas-
trously affect cotton, linen, and wool
he says: .
"On one occasion .1 employed this
property of soda in a useful way.
There was a largo quantity of new
blankets sent to one of our. hospitals
which, when given out; were said .by
the patients to be not so warm as
the old blankets were, and that led
to an investigation as to,whether
the blankets were genuineor not.
They looked well and weighed pro-
perly, and I got a blanket sent • to
me for examination, and analysis.
We found soon that there was cotton
,mix -ed with the wool, and the clues -
tion was as to separating the two,
because they were thoroughly wevee
throughout, and It was only by de-
taching the fine fibres, from' each othe
er that yen identified the cotton
fibre. I el1 ' on the 'device of using

put it In a vessel with soda, and
boiled it there; and very quiekly the.
wool got eaten away by the wide,
and there was left behind the cotton

ghost -of the original blanket met
of which. it was taken. I mention

terials, which, when employed, strong
by themselves, • affect, woolen arti-
clee this Way, , and which, even
when not very strong, Will more

neighbors have had a talk over tho
Matter, and..we are not going to
have our clothes and hands ruined in
this way. Several of our neighbors
Who know have proved' to us that

must be in an earthen jar, or it will

you to provide us with pure soap
without free alkall„, or we naust
find it, elsewhere. •
Madam, you enlighten me! So
many soaps are advertised as pure,
that•I really took little heed to any
difference between them.
• I have one, however, that has med-
ical certificates of its freedom from

ment. •
• Teething tithe is the critical 'age iu
a child's life.- Any slight disorder in
the stomach or bowels at that time
greatly increases the peevishness of
the little one and may have serious
and even fatal results. It is impos-
sible to take too great care of your
baby's health during this period, and
no better remedy than • Baby's Own
Tablets is known for the minor ail-
ments of childhood. Among the mo-
thers who have proved the worth of
this medicine is Mrs, It. McMaster,
Cookstown, Onie Her little baby
girl was suffering from tho 'com-
bined trials of: indigestion, constipa-
tion and -teething., and the Mother's
strength was severely taxed by the
continuous care the child needed. A
box of Baby's Own Tablets, however,
made sueh an improvement that Mrs.
McAlester is now enthusiastio in
their praise. "It gives no great
.pleasure to teetify no the value of
Baby's Own Tablets," she writes.
"My baby of •eight months was much
troubled with constipation and in-
digestion and Was very restless at
night. I proeured a box of Baby's
Own Tablets, and the results • were
so satisfactory that. / have not. used

flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper

In moving the adoption of the Directors' and other reports submitted to the
'meeting, the President ably reviewed the business of the Cotnpany during the fisciel
year ending December 81st, 1001. showing that steady progress had bek made in all
that denotes strength and stability, while the ratio of expense to income was the
lowest in the history of the Company, being $23,061 less than the previous year. It
was gratifying to find that the interest rind rents from investments exceeded the
amount paid for death lasses in 1001 by 967,307, aud that the large sum of $305,021 was
paid to living policyholders during the same year for endowments, atinuities, divi-
dends, etc. On the wbote the business of the Company for 1901 was la all respects
most satisfactory, and if everyone interested in its welfare will do his duty the year
-upon whith we have entered will be still more snecessful than the one just passed.
