Big Lift Bridge.
By midsummer Fort William will be
the possessor of the largest. lift bridge
in the world. It will be a two -deck
lift span of 189 feet ---29 feet longer
than each span of the famous Tower
Bridge -in. London, England, of which
it is a duplicate except for the towers.
The upper deck of the bridge will
carry a• street car line and the rail-
way will run on the lower. It will be
operated by electricity and so exactly
is the bridge balanced that the power
necessary to lift it is only such as will,
overcome the friction resistance.
The plans for this structure have
been under way for more than a year
and the assembling of the bridge pro-
per will be . commenced almost ini-
mediately. •

;,ef the thousands who voiced their
sorrow, may have realized that the

them, at Least, by sight. As Miss
Butcher, the young lady was known
throughout the city as "the girl with

tions., and the two were seen almost
every, day in the downtown sections
of the city.

it was going to cure me. I could feel
the soothing medicated air spreading-
through. the .air passages of the throat,
and it touched the sore ,spots in the
lungs that other remedies failed to
reach. Catarrhozone seemed to go
Just where it was needed 'most, and

. Railways Ca'et Nothing From It.
Washington, March 1. -Operating
officials of railroads, testifying yes-
terday in the Interstate Commerce
Commissions' investigation of the ex-
press companies, declared that the
railroads made no profit out of ex-
press business. •
James Peabody, statistician of the
Santa . Fe. system, insisted that reve-
nues of the railroads from express
business were wholly inadequate. He
objected to. the reduction of the ex-
press rates because that would have
a tendency, he said, to increase the
shipment of. certain classes of traffic
by express, reduce the revenues of the
railroads from freight traffic and over-
load the passenger service of rail-
roads,all of which carry express ser-
vice on passenger_ trains.

equity court, when he refused the ap-
plication of a drug manufacturing
Concern for an injunction to prevent
a local druggist from "cutting" prices
without the manufacturers' permis-
sion. The court declared that the pa-
tentee of an article could control the
Jrice.,by which it should be sold by
a. "licensee," but that once the article
had found its way to the open market
by outright purchase all right to fix
the price passed from the patentee.

WANT MODEL SOliOLS
Ontario Liberals Not Pleased
With New System
HAn. A. Q, MacKay Harks Rack to
His Old Contention That the Pro-
vinciai Educational System Suffers
•o eSu e
From the Sudden . Change to Nor-
mal School a & h Training
For Teachers
Teah
--Hearet's New Bill.
Toronto, March 1. -Normal schools
and model schools --their relative ad-
vantages and disadvantages --were the
topic over which ' the legislators in
Queen's Park got excited at yester-
day afternoon's session.
"Model schools -$2,000." This Mod-
est little item in the supplementary
estimates which the, House had un-
der eonsideration was the cause of all
the trouble.
The discussion was precipitated by
Hon. A. G. MacKay's defence of the
old model school system of Ontario.
Mr. MacKay maintained that as re-
gards schools, the people of the pro-
vince were infinitely worse off to -day
than they would have been had there
.been no change from the old system.
"If it was the desire of the Govern-
ment to give norma] training to every
teacher in the land," said he, "we
begged them to at least do it gradu-
ally, and to retain at least one good
model school in each county. By
that means the children would at least
have the assurance of being provided
with a teacher who had received a
model school training instead of hav-
ing to secure somebody without even
the limited qualifications of the model
training. "It is the bounden duty
of the Government," said Mr. Mac-
Kay, "to come back to our contention
of model schools."
Sir James Whitney, in reply, stated
that the subject was one of which
Mr. MacKay had made a specialty for
years. "He sees red every time nor-
mal schools are mentioned," said Sir
James. "He has a right to his own
opinions on the subject, but this sub-
ject has been discussed, I might al-
most say, ad nauseum. It was even
under consideration •long before the
present. Government came into power.
How Mr. MacKay can suggest that
this Government oughtto come back
to his contention as regards model
schools, after the people of the pro-
vince had endorsed our policy by such i
majorities as he never heard of, is r
o than can.understand."

N. W. Rowell said that the question .
was one of vital interest to the people
of the whole province. He thought
that the Government should take the
Opposition members into its confid-
ence, and discuss the methods that'
were being considered, to solve .the
problem of education. The fact that
there were inducements in the west,
said Mr. Rowell, was all the more rea-
son why the Government of Ontario
should adopt a progressive policy to.
get efficient teachers.
J. C. Milligan, Stormont, defended
the present policy of the Government,
Speaking as an old teacher, and as a
new member of the House, he said
that the' abolition of the model schools i
was one of the wisest things ever
done by any Government.
A. C. Pratt of North Norfolk char-
acterized the model school system
that was formerlyin vogue as nothing
short of a curse to the country. He
would regret it if any of his children
ever were compelled to go to a model
school.
When the discussion opened Mr.-"
Rowell asked the Minister of Educa-
tion what een.res were under consider-
ation at the present time for the es-
tablishment of normal schools.
Hon. Dr. Pyne replied that there
were several..
Hon. A. G. MacKay then contend-
ed that there should be a defined
statement at the beginning of the aca-
demic year as to where the model
schools would be. By this means pu.
pils preparing for examination would
know whether or not there would be
a model school in their district.
Hon. W. H. Hearst introduced a
bill to amend the Forest Preserves
Act, in order that the Townships of
may and Ogden m y be taken out
of the forest reserve. These town-
ships are part of the Porcupinefgold j
fields, and being now practically all
e
taken up fax mining purposes, there
is no timber of value on them to be
preserved. The amendment will en-
able the Department to grant patents
in the ordinary way to claim owners
who prefer patents to leases.

Honey Bread.
In Europe where the food value of
honey seems to be much better under-
stood than in the United States, enor-
mous quantities are used. Of late years
we seem to be waking td a realization
of the value of honey as a wholesome
and delicious article of food, and also
as to its preservative qualities. Oakes
and sweet breads made with sugar
soon become dry and crumbly, and to
r. et the good of them must be eaten
when fresh; but where they are made
up with honey they seem to retain
their moist freshness indefinitely. In
Prauee honey bread a year or eighteen
months old is preferred to that just
made, They say, "It has ripened." It
is the preservative, or rather the un-
changing quality of honey that makes
it so popular with the best confection-
ers, -Christian Herald,

Easily' Built Hopper Has Saved Otter
third of Food For One Poultry Man.
' The builder of this self regulatln
hopper for feeding poultry has fouls
by many years' experience that it pay
to let chickens have a constant supplie
of wheat and other grain, and .h
claims that it is economy in the Ion
run to use a hopper that supplies fee
at all times, but prevents waste. Th
old fashioned method of throwing ou
grain for the chickens to scramble fo
results in the overfeeding of the stron
and greedy fowls and the consequell
waste of feed, while, on the other hand,
the weaker and less aggressive of the
flock do not get their share.
This homemade device is designed;
to solve the problem, and the hopper is:
so arranged that the chickens can east,
at any time of the wheat, cracked corn,
