byterians of Ontario will be able to
boast the posse. ion of the finest ex-
ample of collegiate to'hic architec-
ture in Canada, and that they have
added a new note to the beauty of
the University College campus group.
The general plan of the building is
on the type of Oxford and Cambridge
colleges, built on a quadrangle, one
frontage on St. George street and one
on the campus of the university.
The general division is that the
academic portion faces on the
campus and the residence on St.
George street. The academic part in-
cludes the Clasen Library, six class
rooms, eight professors' rooms and a•
stock room to accommodate 76,000
volumes. In ad'ition there is a
great reading -room and a reference
library where students can work un-
molested.
The •outhern part of the academic
portion is the chapel and convocation
hall with a seating capacity of 500
people. Beneath the chapel is the
gymnasium and sho--•er baths, afford-
ing the student opportunities for
physical development, which must go
hand in hand with the spiritual. The
residence part is made up of dormi-
tories, and accommodates 120 stu-
dents 'yho wish to reside at the col-
lege. The dining hall is situated 1 p -
stairs on the north end of the resi-
dential portion, and will accommo-
date 160 men. Beneath the dining
hall are the stewards' quarters, and
below them is the kitchen, stcreroom,
etc.
Between the dormitory and the
dining hall rises the tower. It is very
distinctive, being the only one of it
kind in Canada. The nearest ap
proach to it Is the tower of Magdalet
College at Oxford. In the tower i
the great staircase, students' com
mon roon and reading rooms. I

position there '--i11 be an infirmary
The large house north c" resident
utilized as principal's residence, wa:
once the hone of Sir John A. Mac
donald and afterward the residence of
Sir Oliver Mowat.
The buildings will cost $550,000,
apart from furnishings. The sale of
tae old site provided for the new site
and gave $100,080 t0 the new build-
ing. $450,000 had to be raised from
the Church. Already $350,000 has
been subscribed and it will not be
difcnit to get $100,000 more from
the many friends of I'nont in Toronto
and in the province.
Knox College was bOrn and cradled
in a very humble home, and its early
youth was sheltered in very common-
place surroundings. In 1844 the first
session was held in the residence of
Rev, Henry Eason on James Street,.
Toronto. The second was held in a
house On Adelaide street, and from
1848 to 1853 in a building on front
street, which Is at present the site Of
the Queen's Hotel. In 1854 a site
was purchased on Grosvenor Street,
eallen Weida Vila, therhgidanee of
L"or$ -EIg1ii 131 'Tiredinto, VIM 9e• Was
Governor-General. This building
with the wing added for students' re-
sidence cost the church $28,000. This
remained the home of the college till
1875, when the college building on
Spadina crescent was opened. This
was erected at a cost of $120,000.
On September 26th, nineteen hun-
dred and twelve, the corner -stone of
the new building was laid.
His Waterloo.
In years gone by there was an elc-
tion crook well known in certain cir-
cles in Canada who had a reputation
of having voted sixty-fiv3 times in a
single day, says a writer in Toronto
Star Weekly.
One day he met his Waterloo. It
wa3 bound to arrive. He crossed to
I_r•tmilton to assist the Greys in a
very critical election, and had suc-
ceeded up to about four o'clock in
the afternoon in registering twenty
or twenty-five ballots marked with
the names of absentees, or dead peo-
ple. Then some unlucky imp of fate
prompted him to select the name "J.
Jones" from his list of deceased vot-
ers. With that on his lips he enter-
ed the polling booth. "What name,
please?" asked the returning officer,
"J. Jones," answered Boulanger
boldly.
Down the book rein the officer's.
finger and paused over an entry.
"James Jones, colored," he an-
Pi0uliced in good clear Saxon.
"Good night," yelled Boulanger
and plunged from the booth. The
scrutineers scurried dow tnhe road,
towards the railway at the imper-
sonator's heels. By some special
blessing a freight train was moving
out at a pretty good clip and Bou-
langer clambered aboard. No one
dared follow, and he arrived safely at
the Outskirts of Tor'nto where he
prudently made )tie way home.

CHILDREN IN LINE.
London's Salvation Army Congress
Will Be Unique Affair. •
One of the features of the world's
congress of the Salvation Army, to be
held in London in June, -will be the
presence of many thousands of chil-
dren representing all nations and all
belonging to the Young Soldiers' bri-
gade.
Among the young "soldiers" at the
congress will be a contingent from
Dalny, Manchuria, territory recently
wrested from Russia by Japan. This
field is now under the direction of
local officers, and the work among the
children has prospered.
Another contingent of children will
go from Tokyo. They will wear their
native costume and will sing Salva-
tion Army songs in their native lan-
guage. India will also send a con-
tingent. They will be rolbed in their
native costumes and walk in the big
parade with other Asiatics. Chinese
children from Hong Kong, Foo Chow
and other parts oZ the Celestial re-
public will likewise attend.
Every section of Europe will send
delegations, and so will Australia and
New Zealand. The New Zealand offi-
cers are trying to lend additional va-
riety to the congress, by taking witb
them a contingent of Maori children.
There are few of these aborigines itt
existence to -day.
Juvenile Swedes, Norwegians,
Danes, Germans, Dutch, Finlanders,
Swiss, Russians, Italians, French and
Slays will attend by the hundreds,
attired in costumes of the ancients of
their respective countries. They will
bring singers, and many of them will
perform on musical 'nstrmuents pe-
culiar to their people. A children's
bagpipe brigade will to Scotland's

An Audacious Hoax.
A plausible adventurer has suc-
ceeded in =eking the Mayor of Lon-
donderry, the Town Clerk, and a
large number of prominent residents
the victims of an audacious hoax.
A few weeks ago a visitor arrived
In the city, took rooms at the leading
hotel, waited on the mayor attd other
members of the Corporation, and in-
timated that he was the son of an
American iniliionaire, engaged in
walking round tho world to win £20,-
000. He produced what purported to
be greetings from the Provost of
Wick to the Mayor of Derry.
A document with the Corporation
seal affixed, signed by the Mayor, the
Town Clerk, and Alderman Anderson,
wee handed to the visitor, who next
held a levee, when lie told the com-
pany that his walk ended in Bonn -
bay, and one condition of victory was
that he must provide himse'S with
'wife before tho globe trip to tuir'ate,..
A sensation was caused -then the
Derry police visited the Mayor and
other residents concerned with +'

THREE EMPIRES.
M>narchies That Practically Sprang
Into Being Overnight.
Prior to Jan. 18, 3871, the German
empire, as the know it today, had no
existence. Instead It was a jumble
or kingdoms, states, duchies, grand
duchies and principalities, all Joined
together by a like language and corn•
mon political aspirations, it is true, but
otherwise 'quite separate and distinct.
Then came the historic ceremony in
the Hall or Mirrors at Versailles. Par
is had just been captured by King
William or Prussia, and It was held tc
be a fitting time and place to proclaim
him the first German emperor. Never
"since the dawn of history was an eni
pica born more dramatically. " •
• 13y a strange irony of fate, too, its
birth tock place amid the ruins of the
French empire, itself the creation of a
day, or, rather, to be strictly accurate
of a night. France went to bed on the
evening of Dec. 1, 1851, a republic.
When It awoke next morning it was
an empire. Duriug the hours of dark
nese Parte had been occupied b)
troops, and the prince president had
become Napoleon 111•
Equally sudden and almost as sense
tional in its why was the birth of the
modern Greek empire. After the yoke
of the 'Turks had been throwu off it
the war of Independence the eouutr3
became a republic. 13ut the people
soon tired' of that democratic forth 01
government and promptly proceeded
to assassinate their first and only Pres
(dent. Their they met together. elect
ed a king and settled themselves dowr
to be ruled by him in a quite ordurly
and contented fasbion.

GRAIN MIXTURE
FOR DAIRY CALVES
The period of time from blrtle until
the calf is four weeks old has been
called the delicate riga, end pains

0. 11 tui,pbre3•, 1Viseunsiu Agricultural
college. '.i'he whole inilit should be
gradually chnnged to skimmiik during
the filth week and the amount grad-
ually increased so that the calf will
be getting fifteen to eighteen pounds
daily by the trine it is eight or ten
weeks old.
During the time a calf is six to
twelve months of age it is very much
uegleeted. If this age occurs durlug
the summer it is often turned to pas-
ture nod made to rustle for itself,
welch Is a mistake. A calf is best off
kept in a clean stable during the first
year of its life, provided it is well fed.

Jersey cows will produce more
profit for the feed consumed than
any other breed in the world, says
F. S. Delano in Rural New Yorker.
They are persistent milkers, giving
a good flow of rich milk and ho'd-
ing out well for ten or eleven
months of the year. The breed as
a whole, I think, will compare very
well as to the production of milk
for a year with their distant cousin,
the black and white; also Jerseys
are the handsomest cows on earth.
The Jersey bull shown is a fine
specimen of the breed.
more years and is a sample of what
may be considered a good mixture for
dairy calves.
Pure fresh water should be given to
calves as soon as they have learned to
drink.
Salt should be kept where they can
have free access to it at all times.
All changes in feed should be made
gradually.
Foam which forms on separator
skimmed milk should never be fed, as
it will cause indigestion and scours,.
bloat or other troubles which follow.
Calves should be separated or fas-
tened in stnncbions at the time they
receive their milk and fed dry grain
immediately after drinking the milk,
which will tend to prevent the bad
habit of sucking one another.
The stables should be cleaned regu-
larly and kept dfy. •
In summer it is well to darken the
stable to give protection from flies
and, to make It as cool us possible.
Young calves should never be ex-
posed to a bot, scalding sun.
Watch calves and keep them free
from Tice.
Aim to do everything possible to
keep calves gaining in live weight at
the rate of 1.5 to 2 pounds daily.
WATER FOR LIVE STOCK.
Filtering Tanks Responsible For Many
Cases of Diseaso.
There is too much stagnant water
used in summer on the farms of the
corn belt, says the Iowa homestead.
It Is au every day occurrence to tind
water tanks covered with a green
sentn, from which source comes the
entire supply of water for cattle,
horses end bogs.
It should be sufficient to simply call
attention to the risk that is run in us-
ing this kind or water. Digestion trou-
bles invariably result Prom this forth
of pollution, and it is all brought about
thoughtlessly, though in some cases it
may be the result of an attempt to
economize itt the water supply. The
tank is not donned simply because the
water must not be wasted at all haz-
