FOr a number of yore it ims be evident, end it is now a matter tozninon knowledge, that the sheep i nustry in Catmint, particularly as r garde the general production of tnarke !sheep, and of high class woel, bas bee in an increasingly decadent conditior Not only has the number of sheep owt ed the country been gradually Jesse ing, but the interest in sheep-growin has itself been on the wane. In 100 aceording to agricultural returns, ther were in the 'United Kingdom, 31,938,83 head of sheep, in the eergoutine, 704 head; in Australia 87,043,260 head, in New Zealand 23,480,707 need, while the latest, returns for Canana place the number at not more than 2,705,390 head, in view of the fact that; sheep leave not only a direct and printery value through the actual financial returns which they anake to their owners, but because they represent as well in themselves a pecul- iarly important asset in agriculture, ow- ing to their ability to increase soil fer- tility and to cheek aud destroy the growth oi weeds upon the land, the sit - nation which the Above figures suggest appears to be a rather critical one and one which may well receive =did con- sideration. As a preliminary to the adoption of any settled policy, and in order that the live stock commissiener may inform hin. self thoroughly as to the details of the eneep alai wool trade in Great Britain, and the United States, and as to condi- tions as they actually prevail irt Can - ache the Altimeter of Agriculture has au. thorized the appointment of a commit. tee of two competent men to investigate the sheep situation in general M the three countries named. These gentlemen have alreerly been appointed and aro at present pursuing their investigations in Great Britain, The personnel of the committee consists of Mr. 'W. T. Ritelt, •of Manchester, England, and of Mr. W. A, Dryden, of Brooklin, Canada. After consultation with the live stock tommissioner, the members of the coni mittee have of course been allowed the liberty of depending largely upon their own initiative in planning their route • and in evolving the details of their in- vestigations. The general procedure will however, be somewhat as follows: Mr, Bitch preceded Mr. Dryden to England M order to attend a number of impor- tant wool fairs, in progress during Aug- ust and September. There he will lie in close association with wool merchants and with men interested or engaged in the wool trade, ia it several bran -hen and will thus be enabled to discuss with them in all its phases the vari ins de- tails of the industry in connection with both home and foreign markets. Both members of the committee are arranging to be present at the big late summer and autumn sheep sales, which are annually beta in the latter part of August, during September and in Oc- tober. They will visit Smithfield and the larger meat markets of London and of other important cities, It is possible also that they will be present at the annual ram sales at Kele° and at one or two other leading centres. Thee will bring them into intimate touch with sheep breeders, mutton misers, dealers, • butchers and provision men in all the important localities. It will give thew. an insight into conditions and method's as they prevail upon the farms through- out the country. It will ding their attention to the systems of marketing in operation in every stage of the buai- ness. It will furnish them with infor- mation concerning prices, profits and. as to the extent and nature of the trade, and, in short, give them a knowledge of the great sheep industry of the United Kingdom and of the import trade in dead mutton and lambs. It is hoped that the investigations in Great Britain will put the branch in possession of such information and of such fads and stat- istics as may enable it to intelligently nosiest in building up a great Canadian business in the raising of eheep and also in finding a place for the Canadian pro- ducts of wool and mutton in the corn - zone ofthe world. Returning to Canada, the investigat- ors will visit all the provinces and intero view prominent sheep men and manu- facturers in order to familiarize them- selves with the diffieulties, drawbacks and defects in connection Nvith condi- tions as they now prevail, and whieh have hitherto operated to retard the advencernent of the. sheep industry in 140111E S WHO HAVE DAUfilITERS tind Help in Lydia E.

Trade relationships between the two countries must always be more or Iess intimate and as the United States, not- withstanding a severe duty, inmorts an- nually from Canada a goodly quantity of wool, it would seem to be of direct advantage to have some specific infor- mation concerning the statue of the trade in the former country and also latset.to the advisability as a future mar- Canticla has undoubtedly, wonderful possiblilities and large opportunities in connection with the development of its sheep population.

Mrs. Cornwallia-West has written a warning play which will be staged. in American this winter. The play deals with a husband and wife' who devote their time to help- ing humanity to the neglect of their own home, in which they are very unhappy, Without depreciating in the least the efforts of those grata men and women who labor in philanthropic and humane interests, who give their lives that others may live in better -conditions and enjoy more hopeful days; without subtracting one iota from the credit due thorn, it is well to remember that mankind dwells in two worlds. Two entirely different and foreign worlde: The one, that in which the whole human race lives and mingles each with the other; the other is home. Within the narrow confines of home there lies a world—the world of one's own, just as wonderful, just as mutt/ in need of constant thought and help as is the other world—the world of everybody. Be home palace or hovel, it is home, and as zilch there is constant need of love, friendly interest, smiles, and en - clearing words, beside the mora ma- terial needs of shelter, clothing and food. A very Wise man once remarked that charity begins at home. Interest in fellow beings ehould not only begin there, but enough, of it should always remain there eo that the beautiful flower of family hap- piness may blossom until the last two members of the family are sep- arated by voice of the Creator, The purpose of Mr, West's play is not to make us sel- fishly inclined to heap all our love, wealth and devotion upon ourselves And our own, but not to go to the other extreme either, It reminds us that in the eternal fitness of things there has been given everyone the ability to live in two worlds simultaneously—the world of home and the world of everybody. To fail to live to the fullest extent of our possibilities in either is a dire tnisfoeturm to ourselves and to hu - inanity. insteuction hi Honesty.

Campers and Railways the Principal Cause ot Forest Confiagcations, Commission of Conservation Service, Bulletin No. 4. Ottawa, Sept, 0, 1910.

In Northern Onterio, whete but 4 thin layer of vegetable mould covers the rocks, the heft, oozy fared floor, the only hope of vegetation and equable stream flow has been. eompletely de- stroyed, leaviug a eimerleas reeky ivaste for generations to come. Elven if no thought be given to the number of lives lost, it must be admitted that the loss occasioned this year by forest fires has been nothing short of availing. Can nothing be done, then, to prevent this los st The answer is that much can be done.. he solution of the problem is indicated in two words—publie aenti- molt. The two prineiple causes of for- est fires are campers ann, railways, and publie opinion must be brought to bear upon these! The tourist -camper does not at all realize the extent of the dam- age whicla his unextinguished camp fire may no. Laws against leaving omp firee burping are already in thestatute: books but it is quite evident that their °beer. vance rests mainly with the tourist him- self. He must be impreseed with the very serious nature of his offence. If a tnan sets fire to e building, he is con- victed of arson and tout to prisoe as a felon, but if his unextinguished camp fire burns down millious of dollars' worth of timber and perhaps destroys human life as well, he is, et best, made to pay a small fine. When. public opin. ion views this carelessness of the entry- er as a criminal net and frowns upon hint accordingly, considerable progress will have been made in lessening the number of forest fires fro mthis cause. But it is the railways that -spread the most destruction. 'Traversing, as they do, the great lone stretches of uninhab- ited timber areas, the sparks from their locomotives start numerous fires that gain great headway before being deteet- ed. Too often the right-of-wity, piled with inflate -table r rubbish, furnishes a tinder -box for these conflagrations. The owner of the destroyed property along the line has found it almost impossiblo under thee' present laws to get damages from the railway eompany, so eliffieult ie it to fix the responsibility, and so expensive is the process of litigation. In order to lessen the number of fires due to this cause, the Committee on For- ests of the Commission of Conservation has proposed to make the railway pe- cuniarily responsible, It has recommend- ed that there be added to the Railway Act a clause making them liable to a fine of $1,000, recoverable by summary prosecution before a stipendiary magis- trate or two instices of the peace, for every fire started by sparks from their locomotives. It makes no difference whether the fire begins • outeide the right-of-way or spreads therefrom to ad- joining lands. The reilwaWs are exempt from this fine if they can ShOW that they have the best modern appliances on their locomotives to prevent the emis- sion of sparks, that their employees have not shown negiligence in conduc- ing to the starting of the. fire, and. that they have maintained an efficient and properly equipped staff of fire -rangers. In other words, the 'committee proposes to lessen the number of fires caused by sparks from locomotives by having the railways fined for the damage they do, unless they take every possible precau- tion to prevent such damage. This le obviously a fair recommendation as re- gards both the railways and. the iub1ic, and the effort to have it made law is worthy of public support. Every Can- adian is deeply interested in the pro- tection of our forests; for each forest fire means that he and. his children tvill have to pay higher prices for every foot of lumber they use. Such a measure, for the preservation of our foreets, as that recommended by the Committee on Forests of the Commission of Conserva- tion should, therefore, commend itself to every public-spixited citizen and news- paper in Canada. ilob Cu, quickly stops coudhs. cures cotes. heals the throat end lungs. 23 cents. trhen a man calls you a blank, blank- ety blank fool it's generally the adjew. tiro that hurt most.

If we wish to leno,v what is involved b a. life lived with Chrien we can learn it beet from the ettuly of emu° life actually lived for Christ and with Christ. The life of Warren Seebury was suet a life. lie was born at Lowell, Massaehtt- sette, an September 17, 1877. When he was a child, an intelligent and attragive Chinese who was accustomed to call at his home said to him one day: "Warren, :mine day you will go to China and teach my countrymen about jeaus Chriat." Tile prediction was fulfillen. He was a eltlia of good. balance and of average. powers and promise Reriou% but joyful, a, dean and /Metal, hey, He drew a design to express his loyalty to his mo- ther, "on the right a sword, on the left bow and atrowe, in the centre a cross, heavily pencilled, against which stood holottret.,h,e worth he wished her especially to mark, "Obedience, Honor, Chivalry, After preliminary studies he entered Yale in the class which was graduated in 1000. In' college he lived the Christiaa life, walking; with Christ. He wrote of his joyful acceptance of Dr. Alexander Mackenzie's definition of a. Christian, "A Christian is one who does for Christ's sake what he would not do otherwise." He worked in the East Street Mission and among his fellows. At Northfield, one summer vacatioe, he decided to be a foreien missiOnary, and the next year, on Mare% 1, 1000, he wrote that he had signed the card of the Student Volun- teer Movement the precedlng day, de- claring his purpose to become a foreign missionary. After college he went to Hartford The- ological Seminary. There, and in his vacations, he wns briny in work for other, eSpecially for boys. One whom he led into the church during a vacation in Vermont, wrote: "Since his death I have reconsecrated my life to the Mas- ter's service. I am trying to be worthy of the hope he had in me. I want others to know that one life is richer because he lived." After the Theological Semin- ary he returned to Yale for a post -grad- uate year, and then sew the plans which be liad been among the foremost in eon- ceiving consummated in the establish- ment of the Yale Mission to China, in connection with which he left home for China on Sept. 15, 1904. "AIN well and I ana happy! Too beautiful to be sad," he wrote home two days later. On july 29, 1907, he finished his brief, but glorious, work. He had helped to lay the foundations of the Yale ,Mission at Chang Sha. He had. won the friendship of the Chinese. He had worked faith- fully on the language, and he had walked with Christ. Then suddenly he and Arthur Mann, who plunged. in to save him, log their lives in a swollen moun- tain torrent into which he had slipped from a wet rock, and be woke to hive in the eternal country with the Saviour with whom he walked on earth. "DE YE KIND." Kindness te the ereat lubricant of our social fabric. It '?eduees friction to a minimum, and makes the great. world machine rtln more smoothly. Revolts and revolutions are usually the result of maladjustments, whielt have produeed excessive friction, The law of kindness is the cure for strife. Kindness meant originallythe fekligns and actions appropriate to kinehip, and It is rooted in the idea of blood rela- tionship. The word sympathy is closely related to it in meaning. The 'strange thing it. that love, the greater woid, does riot always seem to include kind- ness or sympathy. Sinnetimet we are unkind to those whom we truly love. Now, it is not enough that we love oth, erey Ire 'Mud also be kind to them. It nomet:mes 'mimeos that the heart is loving but the weeds rite herein Some topes are like a. rasp.
