WHAT AN INTEREST CHARGE OF
£27,000,000 MEANS.
(Weekly Sun)
The amount of Canada's interest
charge, as estimated by Sir George
Paish, is fairly staggering. It equals
the value of the entire wheat crop of
all Canada in a normal year. It equals
three-fourths the value of the field crops
of all kinds in this one province in an
average season. It almost equalled
two-thirds of the value of all the live
stock in Ontario on the first of July
last. 0.1 a population basis it amounts
to an annual charge of practically $10
for each man, woman and child in the
whole Dominion,
Jt may be,as Sir George furthur said,
that the people of this country are able
is bear this burden. But itis an enor-
mous burden. Still in the face of this
gigantic load the Finance Minister of
Canada is just now floating a new loan
of $20,000,000 in London at 97 per cent
of its face value, and hearing interest
at 4 per cent, whereas some sixteen
years ago, Canada was able to borrow
in the same market at 27-8 per cent.
If the money which is being borrowed
now were intended for purposes of dev-
elopment that would increase our pro.
ductive powers to a proportionate ex-
tent, there would be some justification
for what is being done. But a good
deal of the money will be used in the
pro 'ecution of such unprofitable "works"
as the Trent Valley Canal; more of it
wi.l be wasted in the building of armor-
ies and in the providing of armaments
for the further glorification of Colonel
and Honorable Sam Hughes. To borrow
money at present rates, and in view of
our existing burden, even forundertak-
ings which, under normal conditions,
could be justified on their merits, would
be a matter of doubtful wisdo.n, To
borrow money, under such circumstances
to be spent on armaments is, to quote a
phrase once used by Alexander Mac-
kenzie, "A. Natural folly and a national
crime."
WATCH OUT BOYS.
The editor of the Bowmanville States•
man reads a homily to the boys of the
Central school of that town for allowing
the girls in every one of the seven
da ;see to bead the honour roll. Ile
goes on to say:
"Have you noticed that girls are fast
crowding boys out of many positions in
active life? They are, 1 remember
when it girl first took a position in Bow-
manville pot office, the first female

He winds up by advising the boys to
ge,, a move on this month just to show
the girls what the boys can do when
they try. It seems remarkable that a
girl should excel in et ery class. It does
not require any discussion of the res-
pective brain power of boys and girls to
conclude that there must have been on
the part of some of the boys a share of
that old disease, which is to be feared,
is growing in these days, laziness,
or lack of application.

According to statistics compiled by the
Census Department, out of 346,523 for-
eign -born males of voting age in Canada,
only 135,996 or 39.22 per cent. had at
the time of the taking of the last cen-
sus become British subjects within Can-
ada, and thus acquired the right to vote.
The British -born male population of
voting age, including native Canadians,
totalled 1,442,618, of whom 382,133 were
born in the United Kingdom and 26,472
in British possessions. Thus the total
voting strength in the election of 1911
was 1,987,129. The total number of
votes polled was 1,307,328. The total
number of persons of alien birth in
Canada at the date of the census was
752,732,' and of these 353,588, or 46.08
per cent.. including both sexes, had ac-
quired the rights of Canadian citizen-
ship.
Mr. M. E. Nicholls, who formerly
edited The Winnipeg Telegram, says
through The Montreal Mail, which he
now edits, that the proceedings of Mr.
Rogers' election workers in Macdonald
were quite as bad as the Liberals have
represented them to be. The Telegram
of course, rises to remark that Mr.
Nicholls is not telling the truth, but
admits that he knows what he is talk-
ing about because he "is familiar with
the sheaves of sworn evidence that are
on file in the archives of The Telegram."
The question of veracity lies between The
Telegram and its late editor, but inas-
much as Mr. Rogers declined to allow
the Judges to look at these "sheaves of
sworn evidence" the assumption is that

as mercury will surely destroy the sense

whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pres-

the damage they will do rs ten fold to
the good you can possible derive from

The Ottawa Evening Journal, whose
editor has been playing golf for several
weeks with Mr. Borden, predicts that
the Premier will meet the bigdelegation
of farmers from the west with a direct
refusal of their request that wheat be
put on the free list. Despite the fact
that because of the removal of the
United States tariff on practically all
food products, except wheat, Canadian
trade is flowing south. The Journal
says there is not the slightest reason to
think that Mr. Borden has changed his
opinion that traffic must not be diverted
north and south instead of east and
west. Whatever force there was in
Mr. Borden's argument at the time he
made it, two years ago, it seems to be
altogether silly now. The exportation
of wheat to the United States which
would automatically follow Canada's
acceptance of the terms offered by the
United States in the Underwood tariff
would not affect the Canadian consumer
in the slightest, and the farmers of the
west are convinced that it would help
them materially, i3ut apparently the
Borden Government has run mad on
,protection. In the interests of the
manufactures who put that Government
in power it is prepared to throw both
the Canadian consumer and the Cana-
dian farmer to the wolves. Ottawa

ish Fighting (lulls.
Whatever 0711's views ma:
egard to bull fighting there is ons
'nature of the national sport of
pain which is particularly interest'
ng to the visitor and sightseer
'he hulls for the arena are usually
:ept in large pruitiotks, wild and un-
ettere'1, for, i., Sir Albert Rollit.
oho has visited one of these pad-
locks near Seville, says, "The a 1-
als know nothing of ropes or chains
luring lifetime."
It Is a dang 'roue business, how -
ver, entering these paddocks. Sir
llbert stood some fifty paces from
he bulls and in his interesting let-
er describing the scene, published in dr
7ountry Life, says, "We entered with
fur lives in our hands,"
The bulls, however, are kept in
srder by a cordon of tame oxen,
vhich, if a bull attempts to escape, at
nee prevents it doing so, acting
skillfully and effectively as a species
If bovine police. "The night before
he spectacle in the hull ring at Se-
rille," to quote Sir Albert, "the bulls
Ire driven, still quite at large, by
?lcadors along the boulevards, inter- (r
mixed with the oxen and restrained
only by them. On my asking if there
must not be danger to the pu`•lic us -
ng the boulevard, the reply was that
occasionally a bull might 1 ide in the
hushes of the central gardens and fall

but such incidents did not seem to
be regarded as matters of much im-
onrtance compared with the popular -
of the national amusement. At
times many of the aristocracy and
Others of both sexes ride on horse-
back in advance of the bulls, which
is regarded as fine, but rather dan-
gerous sport.
"When at or near midnight the
hull:' thus enter the bull ring, the
scene Is one of great turmoil, noise
and excitement. In rush the driven
animals, hulls and oxen, helter skel-
ter, a motley crowd of men and
beasts. a veritable pandemonium. The
last scene is most interesting of all.
Stables with open doors encompass
the crena, is front of each of which
is a sliding door and at the back a.
lighted lantern. These lanterns the
hull makes for one after another,
smashing them and extinguishing the
ligl'ats, and as o' ch light Is observed
by an attendant to be put out, he
slips down the door of the stable and
'he hull is thus enraged and ready

appear, and when all are out and the
doors of the stables closed the police

to return to their more peaceful pad-
docks and to render similar service
to other bulls and other devotees of
the bull ring."
Chloroform and Stains.
Paint, grease or other stains can
he removed from colored garments or
fro:n materials the colors of which
are not fast by the use of chemically
pure chloroform. Take the garment
o the open air and lay it upon a
fiat surface with a piece of clean
white blotting paper or absorbent
cloth under the spot. Then pour on
a few drops of the chloroform and
pass through the stain. Do not rub
hard and be sure the chloroform is
Atomically pure. The spot will come
nut readily and without injury to...,
fabric or color. This treatment ha.'
proved efficacious where gasoline,
benzine, naphtha and other cleaners
have entirely failed.

The Sun Front a Balloon.
At the height of two miles the sun
shines with a tierce intensity un-
known below, where the dust and the
denser air scatters the rays, which,
thus diffused, lose their intensity
while illumining every nook and cor-
ner of our houses. At heights exceed-
ing five miles this diffused light is
mostly gone, and the sun shines a
Glowing ball, sharply outlined in a
sky of which the blue Is so dark as
to approach blackness. At the outer
limits of the atmosphere the sun
would appear a brilliant star of mas-
sive size among other stars, and if
one stepped from its burning rays
into shadow he would enter Egyptian
darkness.
Watering the Garden.
It the garden needs water badly
(few regularly cultivated ones do) de
not sprinkle the surface, as this gen-
erally does more harm than good.
Take a hoe and open a trench along-
side each row or around each hill of
plants, pour water therein, and when
It has soaked away fill up the trench-
es with dry soil. An ordinary sprink-
ling of the, surface does not reach
the roots, and the sun soon evapor-
ates the water, bakes a crust on the
soil, and the garden consegnently 1s
in worse condition than before. If you
must sprinkle, do it thoroughly in the
evening and cultivate the soli the
next morning.
Steer For a (:Cal,
Are you just drifting along, or
have you a real ambition? The man
who works because he must, with no
higher purpose than to live from day
to day, is little better than a ma-
chine. Work for something beyond
your work, if It's only to build a
chicken coop or own your own home, .
and you have become a human be-
ing. The world has plenty of ma- 4
chines. They all go to the scrap
heap.
Sizing Up the Situation.
"So seh was untrue to the man she
was engaged to?"
"Yes. You see, he drinks, smokes
and gambles."
"Oh, •I see. She was too good to be
true."
A Gentle Hint.
"Lite at best is but a gloomy pria-
on," said the moralising bachelor.
"So much the worse for men who
deliberately choose solitary' confine-
ment," remarked the girl who bad
her trap set.
