Bjornson, the great Norwegian writer, was very ill when he wrote the following words ;— "Sly life probably can be pro- longed only a few months at the most, but I consider it oyery man's duty to live as long as possible. IIis most useful moment may be his last." Bjornson then went to Paris for treatment in order to prolong his life that he knew was soon to end. Like many another who has enrich- ed human thought and sentiment through the channels of literature, Bjornson stood at bay and fought Death to the last, all the while keep- ing up the work that will be treasured by mankind, for generations after the author has passed into eternity. ansteruntenamemniammassari King's For Bargains 1 We Want Your Trade KING'S The Busy Store WARM WEATHERITouse cleaning in full swing— you will need a new Carpet, Art Square or Cur- . tains. We have the largest range to be seen. Improvements And Taxation, The following Reins from the press of different tieotione of Canada show the treed of public opinion on the question of taxing improvements :— "Manitoba in so far as rural values aro concerned, does not tax the farm, ere' improvements, but only assesses the value of the land, The immediate tendency is to break the land up in small lots and highly improve it." "Edmonton, however, is the better example of the taxing of land values, It bas, in the past five or six years, increased from 5,000 to 25,000 in popu- lation. This rapid increase has caused a tremendous rise in the value oflav d, a tendency that has been assisted by the public ownership of street ears, gas, water, lighting and telephone systems—the latter a general govern- ment concern. Yet the value is not a speculative one, but a real one and building is fully up to the land boom." "Vancouver, B.C„ has just taken off all taxes save on the land values. The result, is the greatest building boom in the history of the city." Throughout the entire Province of Alberta there is no tax upon improve- ments among the farmers." "There are 02,000 farmers less in Ontario than there were eight years ago. All gone West or into the cities." "Waterloo County, Ontario, has for some time practically exempted all rural improvements from taxation, - the result being that when you cross the line into Waterloo from any direc- tion, it is like coming into another country for thrift, and. enterprise." "Already this spring more than a 1,000 Ontario families have gone West to settle where their personal enter- prise will not be subject to tax- ation." General Grant made such a brave fight as this, when be lay on Mt. Mc- Gregor, rocked with pain, but patient- ly, persistently working away on his 'Memoirs. The indomitable will power that carried him to victory after vic- tory from Fort Donelson to Appo- mattox, won this last triumph for him over the Grim Reaper. The memoirs were completed before he died. General Lew Wallace was another who held off Death by sheer will pow- er until be had completed the literary work he had in hand. Instances might bo multiplied al- most without end of authors who have struggled against physical dis- ease for afflictions that robbed them of one or more of their senses. Robt. Louis Stevenson made a plucky fight against the destroyer, only to lose when he should have been in his prime. Chas. Darwin was anything but robust in body as he was in mind. Milton's• immortal work was done after the shadow of blindness had closed around him for life. Francis Parkman gathered the material for and wrote his famous histories of the pioneer conquests of the new world while virtually blind and suffering in- tensely. Fanny J. Crosby has given the world some of,its beautiful hymns. from inspirations that had to come through the eyes of the mind and soul, her physical vision having been lost. All through the history of litera- ture, ancient and .modern, are found heroic examples of men and women who "came up through great tribula- tion" to the heights of thought and sentiment and inspiration and left imperishable works that have impress- ed and influenced the whole course of human history.

To meet this alarfning condition a petition from 280 municipalities, in- cluding all the large cities of the pro- vince save one, asking that power be given them to put a higher rate on land values than upon improvement was rejected by the government, the only reason given being "lack of uni- formity," which describes the present condition exactly. To meet the objection of the Gov- ernment and at the salve time relieve them of embarrassment pending a closer review of all assessments, it is now proposed to organize the whole province. So that a complete popular deeand may leave no room for doubt as to the wish of the people upon this proposition or the further demand for the power of initiative and referen- dum so that these needful popular measures in future can he taken up and the province brought to the front with other progressive counties with- out embarrassment of any kind to the government. Already some twenty- five local associations have been form- ed and a great quantity of printed matter distributed. The motions of Halley's Comet are of interest jnst now. Starting out from us on its 75 years' journey, many of our readers will never have the op- portunity of seeing this comet again. The comet will be no great sight tb see until about May the 10th, when it will be 2 h. 20 in. ahead of the sun before sunrise. As soon as the sun comes up, the comet and all the stars are blotted out. The comet could be seen only in the evening sky up to the end of March, and is a morning object from then until the 18th of May and then becomes an evening ob- ject again. A day or two before we run into the tail, it will likely, on ac- count of our nearness to it, stream right across the sly. The same will apply the day after we plunge through, though the head of the comet will on both occasions be too near the sun in the sky to be readily seen. Our side of the earth will be turned away from the sun on the day the comet passes across its face, so that we will not be able to see the transit from this part of the earth. The comet will be at its greatest brightness on May the 19th, but un- fortunately, moonlight will interfere with the exhibition of its tail. We are tined to dash through the tail at 9 o'clock on the night of May 18th, eastern standard time.
