MONTREAL'S DEATH RATE.
;Yews at Other Extretne of the Vi-
tal Records.
A despatch from Montreal says:
That the highest death -rate is
among "other Catholics," which is
the form in the health statistics
used to denote all Catholics not
French-speaking, is the conclusion
arrived at by Dr. Louis Laberge,
Medical Health Officer, in compil-
ing ,statisties for his report for the
past twelve months. The percen-
tage of deaths as against births is
as follows :—Other Catholics, 66.71;
Freneh-speaking Catholics, 59.40;
Protestants, 59.10; Jews, 33.14.
The statistics show a total of 17,637
births during 1911. and 9,974
deaths; or a difference of 7,663.

FOUND SNARE IN MILE.
Montreal Woman Made Starflhiig
Discovery.
A despatch from Montreal says:
After opening- a bottle of milk on
Thursday morning Mrs. Rosa La -
moth, Workman Street, was hor-
rified when a small snake sprang
to the ground and lay there hissing.
Having reeovered from her fright
Mrs. Lainathe telephoned the
Health Department, which sent an
inspector to the house to kill the
reptile. The snake was of the
harmless variety, and it is supposed
that it either fell into a milk -pail or
was in the water with which the
bottle was washed.

GRADUATE OF LAVAL.
Convicted of Practising Medicine
A despatch front London says:
The body of the late General Wil-
liam Booth wag' laid on Thursday
beside that of Catherine Booth, his
wife in Abney Park cemetery, amid
signs of deep respect from men and
women of all classes. Representa-
tives of reigninghouses and of
Presidents of Republics, joined
round the 'grave with many thou-
sands. from the masses whom the
• founder of the Salvation Army had
tried to uplift. Delegates of legis-
lative bodies, civic corporations,
the army, the navy, business inen
of all branches, workme,n• who had
sacrificed their day's wages, weep-
ing women and children of whom*
the General was a true frond,
marched .shoulder to 'shoulder in the
great precession whioh followed the
body of the General to its last sim-
ple resting place. The coffin was
borne from the great doorway of
headquarters ot the hearse, which
was decorated only with dry palms
placed over the " Blood and Fire"
banner draping the casket. The
celebrated battle flag which the
General had planted on Calvary
was placed at the head of the coffin,
and as this was done the flags of the
Foreign deputations and of English
provincial corps dipped in salute.
At the same time the vast crowd
reverently uncovered their heads.
Then the General's campaign cap
and favorite Bible were lifted on to
tha platform of hte funeral car.
The scene was a most impressive
one, as the delegates from the pro-
vinces and abroad, stepping slowly
to the •solemn strains of the "Dead
March in Saul," ,played by fOrty
bands, marched pa,st the funeral
car, and came to the full salute as
they stepped by the coffin. A guard
of honor. composed of the chief lo-
cal and foreign officers of the Salva-
tion Army, stood at attention round

Leading the hearse when the pro-
cession started was a carriage filled
with splendid floral tokens sent by
dignitaries • and distinguished
:friends of the late General. Imme-
diately after the hearse a selected
botlYgua,rd of staff offieers of the
Salvation Army swung into line,
preceding the mourners of the fam-
ily, who were led by General and
Mra. Bramwell. Booth. Then came
forty-eight brigades of members of
the Army and these were, followed
by a rear -guard composed of offi-
cers froin the international •head-
quarters and the emigration staff.
The procession was over a mile in
length, and those composing it car-
ried Salvation Army banners.
A' short distance from the starting
point in Queen Victoria Street the
coffin passed the Mansion House,
the Bank of England and the Stock
Exchange. As General Booth had
.been an lionorarY freeman of the
City of London, the Lord Mayor
appeared on the balcony of the
Mansion House and saluted the
coffin.
The procession Look three hours
to traverse the five miles from the
Starting point to the cemetery
gates. All along the line, on both
sides of the streets, enormous
crowds looked on. The,se became
more dense as the approach to the
Cemetery was reached.
The service was a very simple
jne, consisting of singing of Salva-
tion Army hymns. General Bram-
well Booth and his .sister, Miss Eva
Booth, commander-in-chief of the
Salvation Army in America, deliv-
ered Speeches, while the General's
youngest daughter sang a solo.

TO CANADA IN THREE DAYS.
New Project Aims at Making Use
of Cape St. Charles.,
In addition to the scheme which is
now being officially considered with
a view to the shortening of the pas-
sage between the Mother Country
and Canada, which necessitates the
construction of six fast steamers,
capable of conversion into armed
cruisers, for the Liverpool -Halifax
route, another project aims at mak-
ing use of Cape Si. Charles, on the
south-east coast of Labrador, as a
port for ocean liners. At this pont
there is a harbor ample enough to
accommodate •the largest vessels,
either afloat or projected. It is,
moreover, open all the year round,
and is only 1682 miles from Liver-
pool, 'which could be reached by 22 -
knot liners in about. three days.
The, +distance by land from Quebec
is some 900 ,miles, and a railway
would, of course, be necessary, but
by November next nearly a hun-
dred miles of the line will be ready
for traffic as far as the Saguenay
River. The completion of the plans,
which is strongly favored in the Do-
minion, would cut off the Straits of
Belle Isle and provide a route
across the Atlantic, which, it is
said, passes through a shorter ice
zone than any other taken by boats
between Europe and North Amer-
ica, excepting only the extreme
southern one to New York.

DESERT VODKA FOR BEER.
RUSSians Like German Product
Better Than Czar's Brew.
Gorman beer is steadily increas-
ing in favor among the peasantry
in .southern Russia, and the village
'vodka houses are more and more
being replaced by beer taverns.
The fact that the Russian moujik
is discarding vodka for beer is hail-
ed even by temperance reformers
with unalloyed satisfaction as a
first step in the rig.ht and much de-
sired direction; for the Russian
'Vodka, the manufacture and sale
oi which is a crown monopoly, is
admittedly the vilest and most de-
moralizing national drink of any
country in Enrope.
It has for it couple of generations,
i.e., ,since the emancipation of the
serfs, been the veritable bane, phy-
sically, materially and morally, of
the Russian peasant
As, however, this spiritous poison
isa source of Government revenue,
its replacement by beer is viewed
with undisguised disfavor by the ex-
cise authorities.' Nevertheless t,he
change in the public taste is unmis-

Dealers are Buying Very Lightly, Expecting the
Prices to Decline
A despatch from Toronto says:
The consumer is at last to get re-
lief from the high prices of pota-
toes. The potato crop reports from
all potato growing districts show an
tinusually heavy yield. The west-
ern part of Ontario and the vicinity
of Orangeville, as well as the Mari-
time Provinces and the Delawa,re
Valley, all have excellent yields.
The acreage this year has greatly
increased.
Since last week the price of tu-
bers has fallen off 35.per bag whole-
sale. In a few days the retail prices
will be 85 to 90 cents per bag,
whereas last winter, Torontonians
paid $2 per bag for potatoes im-
ported from Ireland. The local
dealers, both retail and wholesale,

the drop to take place any time
