How Times Have Changed]
In these days of elections and runt -
ors of elections it is interesting to
,glance- back to the time when there
-wasn't so much election machinery in
Canada. For instance, on March 29,
1862, The Victoria Colonist had the
following account of ,the election pro-
ceedings as Esquimalte
At 12 o'clock yesterday the return-
ing officer, Sheriff Naylor, proceeded
to the election of a member to repre-
sent the town of Esquiraalt in the
assembly. There wore about fifty per-
sons present in front of the Royal Oak
otel. After the usual preliminaries,
e returning officer called upon the
ererrs to nominate their candidates,
w eaeupon W. Sellick, Esq., emminat-
ed Thomas Harris, Esq., as e fit and
proper person to represent the town
of Esquimalt. F. 'Williams, Esq., se-
conded the nomination with a few ap-
propriate remarks. No other candi-
dates being proposed, the returning
officers drelared. Thomas Harris, Esq.,
duly elee 1..1 a member of the assem-
bly, ivlie announcement was reoeiv-
ed with c Pers.
The nicen.eneleet then mounted the

any way affecting their interests, he

His remarks did not occupy in the

;were warmly received, ending in loud

A Canadian fneention.'
A most Original and valuable in-
,
-vention, which will benefit the chil-
dren of the elementary and secondary
education classes, was demonstrated
:at the Royal Astronomical Society of
Canada at a recent meeting.
The invention consists of three
_globes, representing the slue earth
.and moon so mounted and mechani-
cally fixed that by simply turning a
handle not only the correct motions
of the heavenly bodies are automati-
cally produced, but what is the most
striking feature of all, the phenomena
resulting therefrom are most beauti-
Inlly represented. For instance, the
observer actually sees the correct
position of the sun at any time te
the year, the sun or moon partially
.or totally eclipsed day or night,
•changes in the length of dens or night
• at all places on the earth's surface,
- the phases of the moon and all the
other related phenomena.
The simplicity of this instrument,
its completeness, and its effectiveness
may be realized when it is seen that
all them) motions and phenomena are
ronght about by the simple method
of turning, a handle.
• Nunierous attempts have been mane
by inventors to 'perfect an instrument
Ample .and automatic far the teaching
of astronomical, mathematical and
physical geography in schools and
colleges and the demonstration proves
that a Canadian in Mr. Park of Brant-
ford has at last succeeded. where oth-
ers have failed.
Dr. Shearer's View.
Rev. Dr. J. G. Shearer, general
secretary of the Moral and Social
Reforrn Council of Canada, says that

must all play a part in .purity and
reform work.
"Parents," he says, "have the first
and chiefest responsibilty; next to
them, physicians, preachers, peda-
gogues, pressmen." And in connec-
• tion with this work, Dr. lahearer in-
teoducts a new term to destribe a
•necessary Christian virtue. "The
queen of all virtues in this relation,"
he says, "is sanetified pigheadedness.

11X0INNING-QPiCALGARY.,
whim Marci416.'ai 'Lorne Was Canada's
Governor-General.
"I remember," said Commissioner
H. I. Clarke in Montreal recently,
"%aka a man erauld travel from the
leaky Mountains to Winnipeg With-
out running much danger of meeting
a White man. There were a few white
hunters that might be eacountered
taw and again, but the gteat major-
ity of the inhabitants of this section
el the country were either Indians
ler hall -breeds.
"I remember the apringe of 1881,
when Tom La Noze and I were shifted
to Calgary .from Fort McLeod bar-
racks to take charge a the old log
For Calgary, which was then all that
existed of th,e present eity of Calgary,
'You might think from Tom's na e
that he was French. He wasn't. He
was as Irish as Paddy's pig, and a
corporal in the R,N,Y7X,P,
"I remember that same spring when
Constable Beattie and I were detailed
to take the Marquis of Lorne, then
6.overnor-Genera1 of the Dominion,
over the rapids at the mouth of the
Elbow and Bow near the present bar.
tacks. It was in an old Hudson Bay
boat, twelve feet long and three feet
wide that we shot the rapids. In
those days, right at the mouth of the
Elboav there was a fair-sized islandt
with good trees on it. The trees have
been swept away; and the island is
new below water.
"I remember that the special diver-
sion plumed for the marquis was a
round -up. Up at the Cochra,ne 'tench,
then the 'biggest in the country, they
gathered cowboys, from all the neigh-
boring ranches. The pieoe de resist-
ance was an exhibition of broncho
busting and lariat work on wild cattle.
The marquis had driven across coun-
try from Battleford to Fort Calgary.
He had a train of 150 teams and a
detachment of mounted polic,e as es-
cort. We had information of his ap-
proach months in advance.
"I remember that his advance itin-
erary included a trip from Fort Cal-
gary, up the Bow, to the Blackfoot
Indian reserve. We set about to pre-
pare for this journey, and built a
number of boats to take the party up
the river. The marquis on his arrival
deeided to alter the program, and his
party traveled overland through Mon-
tana instead. n
"L- remember, even further back
than that. In 1877, I built the first log
shack at Pinto Horse Butte, 52 miles
this side of Wood Mountain. We built
the camp for the purpose of watching
the Sioux camp and Sitting Bull and
his followers after the Ouster mas-
sacre. The main camp of the Sioux
numbered in the neighborhood of 10,-
000 men.
"I remember another point that
takes issue with history. Sitting Bull
has been, and frequently is, mention,
ed as the head ehief of the Sioux.
Among the Indians he was no chief,
simply head soldier. In that Sioux
camp the chief's council numbered
400 men, and Bitting Bull could not
attend the sessions except •on
"I remember that we left Pinto
Horse Butte in the fall of '77 for For
Walsh, where I stayed a few months
before being transferred to Wood
Mountain,. After a year I went back
to Fort Walsh, anal in the spring of
'79 I went to Fort McLeod. At Fort
MeLeod I stayed until the spring of
'81, when I left with Corpl. Knowles
for Fort Calgary to take charge of the
stores there.
"I remember that during the fol-
lowing year I left the force to enter
business in Calgary for myself. I have
lived in Alberta for thirty-six years,
and from the oldest to the youngest
my family is composed of genuine
home-grown Albertans.

Emergency Meeting.
New 'York, May 3, -Calling al a
miners' convention to approve or ditn
approve of the sub -committee's agree-
ment for settlement of the wage and
other differences between th rainera
and operators in the anthracite coal
fields was praetically decided upon
by the committee pf mipers' repro-
sentatives and members of the boards
of the three anthracite districts af-
fected at a session here last night.
Another joint conference with the
operatoes will first be sought by the
miners, in all probability, to see if
further concessions can ilae obtained, it
was said, after last night's session.
The miners' committee adiourned un-
til to -day, when a decision will be
reached, it was announced, whether
a further conference with the opera-
tors shall be sought or an immediate
call be issued for a miners' conven-
tion.
This action followed rejectipn ,by the
miners' full committee yesterday, at
the joint confemice with the opera-
tors' eommittee of ten, of the tenta-
tive agreement for a settlemen reach-
ed recently between the sub -commit-
tees of the two interests.
If a convention were called, as it
seems certain it eel' be, Wm. Green,
who represented President White of
the United Mine Workers, in yester-
day's conference, said last night that
it would be held in either Scranton
nr Wilkesbarre, and would be compris-
ad of 400 delegates from the three dis-
tricts. Such a. convention could be
convened within four days after no-
tice of it was given. Mr. Green de-
elared. Mr. Green expressed the op-
inion that if a convention were held
at once, before another conference
with the operators, it would uphold
the action of the miners' full commit-
tee and vote disapproval of the sub-
committee agreements.
In their statement and accompany-
ing memoranda last night the opera-
tors' committee opposed another meet-
ing •w'ith the miners' representatives
until after the latter had endeavored
to secure ratification of the present
settlement a,greement.

HATCHING TURKS SV MACHINE.
Hatching turkeys by machine may
seem a sacrilege to the nature lover;
butehoweVer much a nature fake stunt
it appears, the trick works if a good
Incubator and right methods are em-
ployed. We picture a good style illell-
bator that hatches fine poults. It has
a good sized air chamber, ten inches
from floor to ten, which insures air
end head room required.
A large moisture pan, size of egg
tray, filled with sand and water, occu-
?les floor of rnachint and is kept in
machine throughout hatch. The =-
Aline is self ventilating, holds 100 tur.
leys' eggs or 150 hens' eggs, and a deli -
:ate thermostat makes it easy to con-
xol. When heated to 102 degrees the
lamper is set to blow off at that de-
gree, and the turkey egg tray is supped
n.
The heat at once drops when cold
eggs are put in, but In a few hours
rises, and the machine must be watch-
ed carefully lest eggs be overheated.
Keep heat at 102 degrees first week
and 103 degrees the remaining three
weeks and begin to turn the eggs on
tbe fourth day and turn them every

Don't expect to sell many eggs 101

LIME FOR POULTRY.
A hen's bill of fare is naturally et)
posed of animal, vegetable and nal
rid matter, the latthr being summ

Some of this mineral matter she et
meta from food and water, and
*ctes to aid digestion Is found 1nb10�
nd tissue, but most' of It, in the fe
lime, builds bone and makes
hell.
Through. the depletion of the 011 d
ertaln mineral elements and Mere
d egg production, fowls, especially
gInter, do not get sufficient lime, all
t must be supplied or the hen will fa
soft shelled eggs or eat one eggele
to make the next.
The eggshell contains 943 per ce
calcareous material, arranged In
:lute crystals, between which
pores, through which slr and mots
pass. •
Seashells contain about the said
per cent of phosphate of lime att.
carbonate of lime tie art eggshell,
only difference being that the e
shell has 1:5 per cent DIM
matter, which is furnished by the sk
lining of the eggshell.
Clean oyster shell, cracked the a
essary size, is best fitted to supp
hens. This essential mineral eienleil
should be kept before them at aj
times, but it must not be substitute
for grit, as it has no cutting edge all
soon grinds fine.
