SANCTUM PARAORAPOS.
—The present Queen of England
was born in 1867, the same year as the
Confederation a the provinces of Ca-
nada. Her baptismal name was—
Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga,
Paaline Claudine, but to the people
she was the Princess May, the nnme
by which she was known in the royal
family circle.

—.A.ccorcling to a despatch from Ot-
tawa, said to be official, the census of
Canada will be taken on Tuesday,
Tune 1st, 1911. After the census,
there will probably be a redistribution
of seats; then, a general election will
follow. So that at present, a general
election for the Dominion is some dis-
tance off, and probable aspirants need
loee no sleep over the matter.

—It is now announced that Sir Wil-
frid Laurier will speak in Winnipeg
on July 12th. Not that he prefers
that day above all others, but the day
before, on which he was first announ-
ced for, happens to be election day
for the province of Manitoba. What
tired people those Wimsipegers vvill
be—election one day, the Twelfth and
Sir Wilfrid and his lieutenants the
next day. It is really cruel to pile so
much on them in the hot weather.

—Single -tax is quite a live question
in New Ontario. Advocates claim
that it would discourage speculative
holding of land and encourage its de-
votion to productive uses, Opponents
reply that any system of taxation
which imposes on the struggling new-
comer a larger proportion of taxation
than he now bears would be imprac-
ticable, since the settler in question
simply would not have the money to
pay, and moteey can't be wrung out of
stones. It is a broad question.
—Isn't it fine to be good at figures?
Canada's debt increased last year $12,-
000,000, and at same time Canada had
a "surplus" of $22,000,000, according to
Mr. Fielding. Funny, is it not? But
as figures never lie, we must believe it,
even though we do not clearly under-
stand it. Still more strange is it to be
told that since 1898 the Dominion Fin-
ance minister has saved. surpluses
atnounting in all to 136 million dol-
lars, but yet our debt has increased 73
million dollars in the same time.
Queer, isn't it? Arithmetic is a won-
derful science.

—The first regular passenger airship
has made its trial trip successfully in
Germany. It started on time, carried
' twenty passengers, and travelled 300
miles in nine hours. Some parts of
the trip Were made at a speed of. 41
mule a an hour, and the the fastest rate
was 431, miles in one hour. The craft
had a cabin finished in mahogany and
handsomely carpeted. In the boy-
hood Of some men now living, Ste-
phenson feared to tell how fast bis
pioneer steam-engine could travel for
fear of zot being allowed a charter.

DOMINION DAY.
Friday next, Joly let, is Canada's
natal day, To many, the day has lit-
tle significance outside of the fact that
it is a holidey. No is that much
wonder, for many of our young peos
ple are growing up to regard lightly
the day, apart from calithumpian
processions, games, etc, etc„ winding
up with a "grand" concert in the
evening,
We do not place sufficient emphasis
upon the fact that Dominion day
marks the birthday of a great nation
of the future, Canada has the ter-
ritory; she has the lake, river and
railway cornmenication facilities; she
has the wheat -growing prairies with
their hundred millionfiushels golden
grain; she has the silver and the gold;
she has the broad acres of older farms
and fruitful orchards; in these re-
spects, the "lines have fallen to us in
pleasant places, and we have a goodly
heritage." May Canada ever have
men—real men—men of courage, of
enterprise', of sterling worth and hon-
esty; men who will be true to the
country's best interests. With men
of this calibre to guide our destiny,
success would be assured.
Forty-three years ago on Friday
next, the union of the four provinces,
Upper and Lower Canada, New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia came into force.
The writer remembers the day, and
mentaely contrasts Canada in 1867
with Canada in 1910, and the com-
parison is pleasing.
Confederation was brought about as
the result of the efforts of Sir Sohn A.
Macdonald and bis faithful colleagues
of both political parties, in the face of
many difficulties. These men, known
as the Fathers of Confederation, met
in careful deliberation; they builded
wisely and well. Since that time, the
Dominion has successfully weathered
all the storms and difficulties incident-
al to a new country; until now she
stands before the world, her great-
ness,acknowledged ; her wheat lands
unsurpassed; her mineral wealth in-
calculable; her people happy and con-
tented; her position practically unas-
sailable, connected as she is with the
mightiest empire on the face of the
globeto-day. To -day she welcomes
honest toilers from the crowded cen-
tres, and has room for 111 such as
these.
Since 1867, Manitoba, Prince Ed-
ward Island, Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick have jpined the Confedere
tion. Saskatchewan and Alberta,
created out of what was in 1867 com-
paratively unknown territory, have
become younger sisters of older pro-
vinces of the Dominion. Canada
never had a brighter 'outlook for a
greater development and larger popu-
lation. It has been said, that Canada
stands at the opening of the 20th
century where the United States
stood at the beginning of the 19th.
There appears to be no reason to
doubt that Canada will make as much
progress in this century as the neigh-
boring repeblic made in the last
century. We have a territory of 3,-
600,000 square miles, thirty times as
large as Great Britain and Ireland,
600,000 square miles larger than the
United States (without Alaska) and
15,000 square miles if Alaska is includ-
ed. Away up in the Mackenzie river
basin are 12,000,000 square miles, al-
most untrodden. We have the resour-
ces, and they only await full develop-
ment to ensure Canada's prosperity
and advancement along all material
lines.
The following lines from the pen of
Robt. Kernighten (The Khan) are ap-
propriate

Who flees Despair and follows Rope?

—Some time ago, Hon. Chas. Mur-
phy, Secretary of State in the Do-
minion Government, got the idea that
there was something wrong in the
4, government printing bureau, and be-
gan a quiet investigation. The result
confirmed his suspieiona, and soon the
head of the bureau was missing. Five
officiate have been dismissed and one
suspended. Hon. Mr. Murphy deser-
ves credit for getting after the wrong-
doers, and stopping the graft leak,
which according to The Toronto
Star, has been going on for years,
and has reached a million dollars. It
seems as if graft was quite at home in
Ottawa. Three years ago it was in
the Marine department, then in west-
ern lands, now in printing bureau,
and dear knows where the ugly thing
will break out next. alr, Murphy's
effort to kill the thing is to be com-
mended. What is this world coming
to any way? Graft is closely related
to another political monster—bribery,
and the same papers that related the
above, told, of a United States senator,
Who declares that he was offered $25,-
000 for his vote against a certain bill.

Rev. Dr, Rutledge exchanged pul-

After years of depressing deficits
the Synod. of Huron rejoices in a sub-
stantial surples of $6,789 at the end
of the past year's work. The increase
has been all along the line. The in-
vested trust funds yield more under
the Trusts and Guarantee Company's
ma.nagement, and the members of the
church have shown more liberality in
their gifts.
The service next Sunday evening
in the Methodist Church will be -
in the form of a Song service,
similar to the one held a few weeks
ago and so much enjoyed by the con-
gregation. Mrs. Beattie and Miss
Chapman wfil sing a duet, Mr. Hill
will contribute a solo, the choir will
render three anthems and other selec-
tions, and Rev. Dr, Rutledge will give
a short address.
Sohn R. Mott at the World's Mis-
sionary Congress at Edinburgh last

crucial problem in 'relation to the
evangelization of the world was the
state of the church in Christian
countries. It was useless to talk
about evangelizing work, he said,
unless there was a great expansion
in vitality of the members of the
churches in Christendom.

Strawberry Uses.
For strawberry jam, boil mashed
berries in their own juice till well
reduced, then add heated sugar al-
lowing e lb, to a pint of fruit, and
cook down slowly till of desired thick-
ness. If the strawberry jam is too
sweet, offset this by adding lemon
juice, rhubarb or other tart fruit,
Part of the jam can be put in another
vessel and spiced. A very delicious
variety may also be had by using with
the strawberries equal quantities of
gooeeberries, cherries, raspberries. or
currants. To ,make strawberry vines
gar, mash together 1 gal, strawberries -
and 4 lbs. sugar, then add 2 gals. soft
water and place in a warm spot to
ferment. When fermentation has
ceased, draw oil the liquor, strain and
bottle. s
Sepik Tanks And Sewers,
As there are some unsatisfactory
septic tanks in town, and residents of
several streets are taking steps to se-
cure sewer connection, the following
from the Toronto World may not be
out of, place :—A test of the septi
tank, however, in North Toronto, as
in other places, has proved that on a
small holding and especially where
the soil is heavy, the septic tank is an
entire failure. Even supposing the
installation of individual septic tanks
was a success, the original cost of the
same and. the annual expense in keep-
ing it in working order are largely in
excess of what a regular sewerage
system would amount to. Even the
small householder has come to re-
gard the bathroom as a necessity.
The Board of health of North Toronto
has endeavored since the spring to
rectify the unsanitavy state of affairs
which exists, but they are continually
met with the contention that if cess-
pools and septic tanks are to be done
away with, their place nsust be filled
in some other way, and this can only
be done by the installation of a sewer-
age system.

Pretty June Wedding.
The groom in this wedding cere-
mony is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Wellwood of Wingham :—A very
pretty wedding took place on Wednes-
day, June 22, 'at the Methodist parson-
age, Westmeath, the home of Rev.
Wm. F. and Mrs. Penley, when their
only daughter, Elleda, Mary, was mar-
ried to Mr. John Alexander Well -
wood, B.A., M.D. The father of the
bride performed the ceremony, assist-
ed by Rev. Wm. Craig, of Kingston.
The bride wore an embroidered lace
robe over oriental satin with veil and
Orange blossoms, and carried a large
shower bouquet of lilies of the valley.
She was attended by Miss Edith
Nichols, of Montreal, who wore a
dainty gown of pale yellow silk mull
over primrose satin, and carried .a
bouquet of cream roses. The groom
was assisted by his brother, Mr. Wil-
bert Wellwood of Winglaarn. Miss
Grace Bourne of Ottawa played very
beautifully the wedding march and al-
so a very sweet accompaniment dur-
ing the ceremony, and Miss Louise
Clendinnen, Ottawa, sang "Love's
Coronation" during the signing of the
register. After a brief honeymoom,
Mr. and Mrs. Wellwooa will leave for
their home in Eden, Manitoba.

Town Council.
A special meeting of the Town
Council was held Wednesday morn-
ing. By-law No. 610 was read three
times, authorizing the expropriation
of certain lands required for the
sewage system and. disposal works;
byelaw passed on motion of Redmond
and Irwin. On motion of Elliott and
Bone, the committee was authorized
to make Messrs. Lepparcl, Bradley,
Hicke and McLean a fair offer for the
rights required, The Council then
adjourned.
They Profess To Keow.
Here is an item from a professional
source for the benefit of those who are
afraid of "a draft" ef fresh air—In
London, last week, Dr. Sir Frederick
Treves 'astonished the public by de -
daring that "the idea that colds are
caused by dranglats are absurd. No
cold ever had. such an origin. Colds
are the origin not of draughts, but of
stuffy rooms." Other famous London
physicians back up Sir Frederick in
holding that no cold was ever caused
by draught.
Tug Of War.
Dr, Irwin of Weightiest, as Warden
of Huron, is looking around for ten
stalwart men to. face ten similar men
from Bruce in a Tug of War at Luck -
now Old Boys' reunion, The prizes
suggested for the winners are ten
shields in gold or mission oak, with
bronze or silver plates inscribed, and
will cost $50. The prizes thought
suitable for the losers may possibly be
ten similar shields costing 540; the
Captains' shields will cost ten dollars
each. We hope Warden Irwin may
succeed in getting the winning team
together.
Sunday Schools Picnics.
July 1st will be picnic day, St.
Paul's Church School will spend the
the afternoon by the river side on the
prairie flat and are preparing for an
enjoyable afternoon. Even the
grown-up people can enjoy a social
time. The Methodist Sunday School
will find their rendezvous on the
Maitland banks in Lower Town, and
young and old are anticipating a good
time, for the entire congregation is
invited to come. We are requested to
ask that all who have horses will
endeavor to use them to convey the
elderly people to and from Lower
Wingham. The Advance hopes both
Schools will have an enjoyable after-
noon.
Where Drill Test Wens?
There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to where the test wells are
to be drilled. -Some think they should
be at the present power house. The
Commission is of the opinion that as
a matter of money -saving they should
be sunk at the Electric Light works.
A meeting of the ratepayers will
be held on Thursday evening, in
the Town Hall, to discuss this
question. Come and hear what the
Commissioners say on the matter.
No doubt all want to have them in the
best possible location. Hear both
sides, before you criticise unfavorably,
Thursday evening, 8 o'clock. In the
meantime, the season is advancing,
and pure water is still not in eight.

Sewer Contracts Let.
The special committee of the town
Council that has the Sewer question
in hand, has let the contract. . The
successful tenderer is the firm of
Pidgeon & Reid. The former is of
Stratford, and the latter of Moncton.
The committee report that the prices
on the different etreets are very satis-
factory and quite within the limit of
the estimate when the By-law was
passed. The only barrier now is' the
purchase of the land 'for the disposed
works, the owner asking for it more
than the committee think they ought
to pay; so that part of the seheme
remains to be completed. The work
will be commenced as' soon as the
contractors can get the pipes on the
ground. They have given security of
$2,000 (of which $500 is cash deposit)
for the proper carrying out of the con-
tract. They intend to prosecute the
work vigorously.
