(Toronto Star.) At a meeting in South Renfrew, Dr, Reid, the Minister of Customs, argued that Mr. Graham did not deserve to be returned unopposed, He said that when I4r. Borden was defeated in Hali- fax in 1904, Mr. Graham had' used his influence as a member of the Laurier Government to keep him out of the House as long as possible, Mr. Graham was not a member of the Laurier Government at that time, nor a member of the Dominion Parlia- ment; he did not enter, that body until the close of 1907. More than that, Mr. Borden was not treated in the shabby way described by Dr, Reid. On January 19, 1905, the opening day of the session, Mr. Kidd, Conservative, resigned his seat in Carleton to give a place to the leader of the Opposition. The Speaker issued his warrant next day, the writ was issued the day after that, and on Feb. 4 Mr. Borden was returned unopposed. The Laurier Government did everything possible to expedite his return, and he was only two weeks out of the House. In this matter the Laurier Govern- ment was following the usual custom of courtesy to opponents. The fact that the. Borden Government has chosen to depart from it does not constitute a personal grievance. The chief injury done is to the Government itself, which is made to appear before the country as a narrow-gauge, partisan concern instead of a broad-minded, progressive administration. If left to his own im- pulses. Mr. Borden would probably have acted toward Mr. Graham as Sir Wilfrid Laurier acted toward him. Mr. Borden's worst enemies are of his own household. RURAL. TES. 1 American wheat yields an average of less than fifteen bushels per acre. The Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph has secured more land for experimental work. There are altogether 4,183,572 mules in the United States, worth on an aver- age $131. British Columbia recently captured the World's Prize for potatoes, amount- ing to $1,000. i An authority states that not less than 100,000 farmers in Iowa tested their corn seed before planting it last spring. i One of the Winnipeg abbatoirs has just imported between two and three gundoed sheep from the market at St. Paul, Minn. , i Australia has developed wonderfully of recent years as a dairying country, and now stands second to Denmark as an exporter of butter. I In some country women and children care employed to pull out weeds and ,even to hoe between the narrow drill rows of plants when several inches high. , A decrease in cheese and cream ship- ments with a corresponding increase in the shipments of butter marked the Canadian dairy export trade last year. Owen Sound hoteproprieters have de- cided cided to increase rates owing to the strict enforcement of the Iota' option law. i Mr. Goodall, manager of the Imperial Bank at Cobalt, received a Black Hand demand for money. A decoy letter was sent, and :iee arrests have been made.

The bairnies cuddle doors at nicht, Wi' muckle faught an' din; "Oh, try an' sleep, ye waukrife rogues, Your father's .cumin' in." They never heed a word, I speak, I try to gie a froon, But aye I hap them u an' cry, "Qh, bairnies, cuddle doon., Wee Jamie, wit the curly held -- He aye sleeps next the wa'- Bangs up, an' cries, F'I want a piece The rascal starts them a', I vin, an' fetch them pieces, drinks, They stop a wee the sown',. Then draw the blankets up an' cry, ®"Noo, weenies, cuddle soon." But ere five minutes gang, wee Rab Cries oot frae 'neath the claes, "Mither mak' Tam gie owerat aince, He's kittling w1. his tees.; The mischief's in that Tam for tricks, He'd bother half the toon But aye I hap them up an' cry' "Oh, bairnies, cuddle Boon. ' At length they hear their father's fit, An' as he steeks the door, They turn their faces to •the wa', While Tam pretends to snore. "Hae a' the weans been quid?" he asks, As he pits aff his shbon; "The bairnies, John, are in their beds, An' fang since cuddled doon." An' just 'afore we bed oor,el's, We look at our wee lambs, Tam has his airm roun' wee Rab's neck, An' Rab his airm roun' Tam's. I lift we Jamie up the bed, An' as I straik each croon, I whisper, till my heart fills up, "Oh, bairnies, cuddle doon. " The bairnies cuddle doon at nicht, Wi' mirth that's dear to me; But soon the big wart's cark an' care, Will (paten down their glee. Yet come what will to like ane, May He who rules aboon Aye, whisper, though their pows bald, "Oh, bairnies, cuddle doon." bc, Tirod•Out Kidncys. Kidney troubles are so frightfully common because the kidneys are so easily upset by overwork or excesses of eating and drinking. Cure is effect- ed not by whipping them on to renew- ed effort, but by awakening the action of the liver and bowels by the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills. This rests the kidneys and makes them well. Backache and urinary troubles then disappear. France is soon to have the first aerial regiment ever organized. Not all the members ean, for the present, take the air at once, but an appropriation is to be asked for buying enough aeroplanes to bring the total up to 1,400, of four different. sorts. The yearly cost of keeping this service efficient is esti- mated at $4,000,000; the cost in lives is not so easy to reckon. i)'ronr the TAM/ of Jan. 29, 1892.) LOCAL N1pW$. At the meeting of the County Cann- cil an Tuesday last, Mr, John Torrance, Reeve of Stanley, was elected Warden. Mr .1. S.

A sad and fatal accident happened on the farm of Mr. John Williams, East Wawanosh, on Friday /periling last.. Mr. Williams and his father-in-law, Mr. Gen. Lindsay, of this town, were cut- ting wood in the bush, and while in the act of felling a tree, it broke, causing them to fun for their lives; but unfor- tunately for Mr. Lindsay, the tree struck him and killed him instantly. On Monday evening last, 25th instant, a Juvenille Temple was organized in the Temperance Hall, under the direr* tion of Anchor of Hope Lodge, No. 280, I. Q. G. T.

I asked old Skaggs, who deals in greens, if he had any first-class beans. He struck an attitude and cried: "I'm pointing to my beans with pride. No man, e'er gathered froni the vine such all -fired• lovely beans as mine! Seek through the world,, go east or west, you'll find my beans are still the best. And when 'at last your spirit flies to roam the gardens of the skies, you'll find no beans, where houris sleep, as good as these I sell dirt cheap." I asbed old Skaggs about his peas. "You'll never find such peas as these," he said, "and when it comes to squash, no man can rival me b'gosh. Canned yumpkin? Well, that's where I shine! There's nothing half so good as mine, and these here cheese -oh, thunder, man! just find its equal if you can!" His trade is falling off they say, and he'll go broke some winter day, for folks don't like to trade with Skaggs, who shows no judgment when he brags. -Walt Mason. Make the Hens Lay. Now that farmers' educational trains are about to tour Ontario, it may not be amiss to give the experience in the State of New York of Blunter ambu- latory insteuction, as reported by the New York Sun. Last year the man- agement of the course overlooked the subject of egg production. The audi- ences complained loudly, declaring that eggs were the most important topic in the curriculum. The man- agement was compelled to telegraph without delay for an egg professor. It was found that four-fifths of the people who attend these railway courses wanted to know how to make hens lay and nothing else. It seemed that apple brandy aroused little in- terest, that early tomatoes were a bore, and that at the mention of al- falfa the audience longed to take to the hay. It is, therefore, inferred that that this novel venture in public instruc- tion is not reaching the farmers at all, but only the villagers who are still in the state of barbaric intelligence which expects a hen to thrive and lay on the wind. -Weekly Sun.

Memory Kgr4e2, 1, 2, -Golder! Text,. lea, xlv, 22 --Commentary Prepared ' by Rev, D. M. Stearns, Although It is but a few weeks sines we bad this portion as a Christmail. lesson, we come to it again with great desire, to know more intimately .f.Iim of whom it speaks, Jesus, King of the Jews, that we may worship Him as Be says we should and as the Father desires,. "in spirit and In truth" (Joan iv, 23, 24; v, 23), Remember His awn words :In the wilderness, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy clod, and Hint only shalt thou serve" (chapter iv, 10); Also the words of the heavenly nes. senget• to John in Vannes when be fell down to warship at his feet, "See tbou do it not; * * 1 worship " God" (Rev. ibis, 19; exit, 9). Mere mouth and lip worship He hates and all that is taught by cemmaudments of men (chapter xv, 7-9; Ise. 1, 13, 14; xxiir, 13). It is the heart that He has regard to. Ile searcbeth the heart and tries the reins and desires truth in the inward Parts (1 -Sam. xvI, 7; Jer. XVII. 10). In these days the Lord Jesus Christ is very little spoken of or thought of as Kiug of tee Jews, and the church as a whole has no use for Israel, sees no future for Israel as a nation and does not want to hear of the return of Christ, seemingly having no place to her faith for the words of the prophet who predicted His birth at Bethle- hem and spoke of Him as "a governor that shall rule my people Israel" (les. son verse 0; Mic. v, 2). ivathanael spoke of Him as "the Son of God, the King of Israel," and Zephaniah in pro. poetic vision saw flim as "the King of Israel, even Jehovah, in the midst of Jerusalem" (John I, 49; Zepb. iii, 14, 15). Oh, for such vision now and the zeal and devotion of these wise men from the east! The same city. Jeru- salemto which they came seeking i Him n order to worship Him shall yet he His throne, and all the nations -Shall be gathered unto it to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem (Jer. iii, 17). Then sball the Lord stain the pride of all glory and bring into contempt all the honorable of th'e earth. aHe shall star - tie many nations as their kings shall see and consider that which they had not heard, and thereafter they will be glad to bring .their wealth to Israel and show forieohd (Ise. xxili,th 9; itheii, 15pra, ins s V., f margin;teLorlx, 5, 6). ' Then shall all such as. Herod have some cause to be troubled, for all kings and mighty meri as well es peo• ple in ordinary life shall call to noun• tains and rocks to fail on them and hide them from the face of Him on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb (Rev. vi, 15-17). It is in refer. ence to that time that we have the ex• hortation, "Be wise now, therefore, O" ye kings; * * • kiss the Son lest * * • ye perish" (Ps. ti, 10-12). What a long conflict it bas been since it started in Eden; how muck the saints have suf• fered and still suffer, and children, too, because of the hatred ofrthe great ad• versary, the murderer, the father of Iles, the devil: Who would not pray that the kingdom of peace and right. eousness might come and the adverse• ry be banished from the air and the earth? Can we wonder that the great King has said that He will not rest until it come to pass and that we are not to rest nor give Him rest until it come (Ise. xxxii, 1, 17; !zit, 1-7). If all believers were right with God, seeking first His kingdom, worshiping Him with their treasures as these wise men did, would there not be an abundance of men and money to carry the gos• pel everywhere? The vast majority of so called believers seem to be asleep, utterly indifferent to the worldwide opportunities. Neither the gospel nor He of whom it tells can fail (Isa. slit, 4; lv, 11). The church will be com• Meted, but who can tell bow much wi- may be hindering? It is high time to awake, to arise from the dead things and people all about us and become Spirit filled to buy up the opportunfr ties.
