Fishermen Out All Night on Lake ,
Considerable anxiety was caused on
1YIonday night by the failure of John

NVih'en he did not return other fish-
ing (boats put out in the hope of find-
ing hien, going in a northwesterly di-
:trection as the Margaret had done on
leaving port, "Reddy's" brother,
(Bert,sounded the foghorn at inter-
vals and waited on the pier through-
out the night, being joined from time
to time by 'anxious relatives of the
absent ones. When morning dawned

but about 7 o'clock the Government
steamer Mis'eford, which had left
tport on her way to.Sarnia, returned
with the Margaret in taw and every-

part of the bare was a solid mass of
flames, and 'being filled with hay, it
was !blit' a few 'momenta ,betfore the
entire building was a seething caul-
dron. The fire brigade was soon on
the scene in response to the fire�
whistle's al'krihi, and ran out two lines
of hose, but the fire ewith • such a
start, defied their efforts. The brig-
ade, however, saved a large hog pen
and hen house a few feet away. The
parties discovering the fire succeedl-
ed in rescuing a calf and several
hogs, the only live stock in the barn
at the time. A buggy, and cutter
were also .gotten out. The lbern 'was
a three- tot ey ,building, having a
basement used for stabling. By a
stiff (battle, the firemen succeeded in
(preventing the blaze from eating its
way down to this section. At six the

sent in, calling the 'brigade out again

ering, hay broke out in flames again.

fire started is not definitely known at

Nearly Another Fire
For a short time on Saturday ev-
ening at about ten o'clock the vil-
lage of Zurich wee thrown into an-
other panic when the call of "fire"
was given and the siren of the local
engine .was heard going through the
business section of -town. But for-
tunately by the time the engine ar-
rived the fire was put out. Mr.
Milton Deitz was down in the pit of
his garage 'working at a car, while
Mr. Earl Thiel was assisting him,
when a passerby dropped in and lit
his cigarette and rather thoughtless-
ly threw down the match which im-
mediately ignited somle - gasoline -
soaked rags on the floor and the side
oe the car on which the 'tngo"' mien
Were working at the bottom. A pail
containing some gasoline standing
nearby also ignited, and the flames
soared up to the ceiling, and the
alarm was at once given, and Mr.
.Len. Prang was soon there with his
fire extinguisher, and assisted great-
ly in patting out the blaze. Unfor-
tunately, Mr. Earl Thiel, in fighting
the fire, got both .of his hands and
arm's, up to the elbows badly burned,
and was given medical aid by Dr. A.
J. MacKinnon. Mr. Thiel had a very
painful week end, but his burns- are
healing nicely. The whole town is
glad that this fire was brought un-
der control so» rapidly, as. it was at
a bad place to stop once it would
have got going strong. There are a
number of bad so-called firetraps in
Zurich that are of 'eery little use and
a bad menace in case of fire. Ether
some of these should be rewoved or

has meant a lot to a few families in

this has pla'y'ed in Zurich in a week's

Separate Sexes Early
Pullets will develop with greater
uniformity if separated from the
cockerels when they are eight to 12
weeks of age. The males are dome
ineering and tend to claim the feed
hopper space that has been allotted
to the femiales. Furthermore it is
good economy to sell the males be-
fore they become staggy.
Graded Beef Popular •
That Canadian consumers are be-
ginning to appreciate the advantag-
es of Igovetnenent graded beef, is
borne out by the fact that monthly
sales, in the Dominion, now approxi-
mately three million pounds. It is
also reported that the demand is in-
creasing steadily.
When all classes of live stock do
not have access to fresh water, they
suffer considerably during the hot
weather. The owner in turn suffers,
as the animals, deprived of the re-
geired amount of water, do not put
on flesh or produce milk.. as they
•d'therwise might. A good water sup-
ply is a necessity on every live stock
farm, and provision should be made
to make it available to the animals.

PROFANATION OF
SAIUMTII WORRIED
EARLY MIHISTEIItS
Diary of ftev. Wm. Frascr
Reveals the Many Trials
and Tribulations Encouii-
tered by the Ministers of
a Century Ago.
(London Free Press)
•
The profanation of the Sunday was
a eonatant source of worry to the
ministers who labored in Western
Ontario almost a century ago.
(None were }more enthrrlsiastic in
their labors or more outspoken in
their views of the country than was
the Rev. William Fraser, who minis-
tered in this district in 1835. His
diary has been edited by Harry Par-
ker and published by the London and
Middlesex Historical 'Society. -
TIre- majority 6f the pages are de -
rioted to the noting of every -day
oo urrences, recounting how the min-
ister covered his charge, which in-
cluded several Presbyterian churches
in London and the vicinity. It was
during his visits 'from his home in
London to Goderich and Toronto that
he paused to take note of the re-
ligious conditions of the people and
to preserve for .posterity the early
history of the country.
Reckless Folly
In July, 1895, he visited Goderich
and wrote:
"Left home for Goderich Saturday,
4th.. After staying all night at Mr.
Brice's, to -day I travelled up to the
Gaelic Settlement, in Stanley. Sab-
bath, 5th—.Rode up to Goderich in the
morning, preached in the afternoon to
a respectable audience, No wonde'r,the
spirit of. Apostle Paul was moved
within hint when ,he, saw the City of
Athens wholly given to idolatry. This
will invariably be the :effect .ort every
Christian mind when witnessing the
reckless folly and vanity he sees in a
land professing Christianity, men liv-
ing as if they had forgdtten God ex-
cept for the purposes of profanation.
To -day II have been under the pain-
ful necessity of sitting for hours in
Amy chamber listening to the boister-
ous merriment of a company df
young eeople who collected on the
bank sof .the lake 'directly in front of
the hotel. Standing in the, position
which they occupied commanding a
full, view of the broad bosom of that
inland sea whose 'ceaseless waves
have for ages rolled in unison With
the vloice of nature --undisturbed by
the approach of civilized man—well
might the splendours .of such a scene
—enlivened as it was by the declin-
ing sun—have inspired the soul with
feeling of the truly sublime.. -But,
alas! too many, there. are in whom
such 'exhibit -lens of nature's grandeur
find. no Corresponding sympathy and
excite no kindred feelings. and who
while • they gaze with frozen apathy
on the great works of God, allow
their minds to wander without con-
trol on mountains- of vanity. Flut-
tering creatures of a day? How. un-
consciouis of the perilous pinnaiele•
on which you s'tan•d? Oh that ye were
wise that ye understood this that ye
considered your latter end.
This has been to me a day of mel-
ancholy musing. "Wheel thought of
home with.all its privileges—and the
comparative peace and harmony
which marked its Sabbaths—,and then
-looked et the flagrant desecration of
every sacred institution in this. mis-
erable place I eras filled with confu-
cion and shame that I had so ill ap-
preciated or improved the Christian
Society which I have en'joyed.

Difficulties
'Sabbath, 2nd, rode up to Goderich.
Preached in the afternoon to a pret-
ty fair audience. I was happy in de-
feating what I conceived to be a
scheme concerted for the purpose of
ousting us from the place of wor-
ship. Mr. Carmpbell, ,the Church of
England cle'r•gynian, who had been
absent for some time, returned to
Goderich 'this morning. Of course
he was ignorant of the appointments
which had been given for the day,
but his clerk or some . other person
was wise enough to intimate meeting
for the very same hour with our ap-
•pointrnr,mt. When I entered the
place of worship (which, by the way
is a schoolhouse of course belonging
to all •partie•s) my eyes were greeted
by an array of sacerdotal rubes and
gilt books spread about in ostenta-
tious order, as if on, purpose. to inti-
midate. Without paying any atten-
tion to the pontificals I walked up to
the pulpit and took my seat. I was
immediately accosted 'bji° the clerk
and inforrmied• of Mr. C.'s appointment.
Without rt
any fu tt
er ceremony I
walked off, in company with the
young man, to meet Mr. C. He met
us corning down the street. I in-
stantly informed him of our arrange-
ment—said that I understood his ap-
pointment was at •11 o'clock and that
had •I ,been aware of any change that
I should be sorry to make arrange-
ments to interfere with his.. He turn-
ed about forthwith and walked home.
I nno't help thinking that the
sdhewe was deliberatjely concerted.
If so, it was completely bungled.
'Had their ointnrrent been given
half an hour sooner it should very
Probably have been displaced. But
by appointing for the same the plan
was properly exposed to the risk of
that defeat' which I am glad it ex-
perienced. Such officious maneuver-
ing is truly despicable. Rod'e down
to Mr. Grant's in the evening. Mon-
day, 13th --Started at 4 o'clock and
reached London at 4 p.m.

Cooking Schools
The cooking schools held at
Strathroy, Exeter, St. 'Marys and
Aylmer recently- under auspices of
the Department of Agriculture, prov-
ed very successful. For instance at
Aylmer, more than 200 women at-
tended each day. Mr. Geo. A. Put-
nam, superintendent of Women's In-
stitutes for Ontario was llr charge
'and his assistants wereettiss Edith
Hopkins and Miss M. E. McDiarmid.
The idea was to demionstrate how. to
make the best use of Ontario's boun-
tiful foodstuffs; nerve ideas for pre-
paring economical menus; new ways
to get the best out of meats; new
thoughts on preparing dainty salads
and desert and enjoyable beverages;
new suggestions for canning fruits
and vegetables; and new methods for
making the table allowance go far-
eher and still keep the family well-
fed.„ Printed recipes were also furn-
ished. It is likely that the cooking
school plan wilrbe extended to other
centres in the future.

The Star-Spangled
Scotchman
:In 1843 'young Andre* -Carnegie;
ironmaster and business organizer,
unfolded his life's plan in this priv-
ate mernoran'duin; "Thirty-three and
en income of $50,000 per annum! • I
can arrange all my business to se •
cure at least this sum. Beyond this
never earn; make no effort to in-
crease fortune, but spend the surp-
lus each year for benevolent purpos-
es. Cast aside business forever, ex-
cept for others. Settle in Oxford and
get a thorough education, making the
acquaintance of literary- men; this
will take three years. Settle in Lon-
don and purchase' control of some
newspaper, taking part in public
matters, especially those connected
with improvement of the poorer
classes. The amassing of wealth is
the worst' idolatry. ,Whatever I en-
gage in I must ptish inordinately ;
therefore should I be careful to
choose that life' which will he the
most elevating, ....To nemtirde much
longer with most of my thoughts
wholly upon the way to make more
money miist degrade me hee•ond hope
of permanent recovery. I will re-
sign at 35."
Carnegie however did noe then re-
tire. He met Henry" Bess. mer, and,
learned from him that the future of
mankind' was to be trans( rimed by
,steel—steel made cheap th •ough his
mechanism for tearing sil'ron and
carbon from iron ore by :Masts of
cold air. Carnegie saw the flaming
brilliance of a converter in action.
From that 'moment his e'rthusiasm
burned with' an incandescent heat: he
lived to onen
e d the manuiactu
r'e of
steel! And not until 30 le ars later
did the leader of the extraordinry
group of associates he gathc're.d about
him to develop and dominate the
steel industry find it possible to with-
draw from active business, by the
famous sale to Morgan in 19.11. A
Roman emperor boasted that he had
found the Eternal City pricy and left
it marble; similarly Andrew Car-
negie could say then that he had
found an America of wood and iron
and turned it into steel.
Almost every item of the ideal ex-
istence as it appeared to the yon
man, however, he ultimately carried
out. He did not spend three years
in Oxford, yet he did devote much
time to reading• book's, with the re-
sult that in general knowledge of

His arhlbitio'n to own a live review
made him the proprietor of some 15
organs of 'public opinion in England
and Scotland. The Scottish emigrant
to America retained the deepest af-
fection for both his native and his
adopted land. American institutions
embodied his fondest principles. He
believed that the profits @fehis busi-
ness could be put to no better use
than to devote them in part to the
noble task of transforming Great
Britain into •a republic! If that great
nation hoped to survive, he tnld Glad-

publicanism in England was then
spreading through agricultural lab-
orers and the industrial armies of

ent Gladstone's Cabinet contained

Tory press was virulent in denounc-

conspiracy to destroy the Crown. But
after four years Carnegie sold his
papers someavh•at at a loss. He said
ruefully, "It is as a squelched editor-
ial genius that I say no paper is
worth much which is devnbed to one
cause: The converted read it but the

been recognized that rich men had
any responsibility beyond heaping up
.fortune's for their descendants. Car-

ciple of modern life that the accumu-
lated treasures of ,millionaires were
not their own exclusive property but
merely capitaT"he d-in"trtts•e-for pub-
lic benefit. The law of competition he
regarded as essential for the progress
of the race; but the real creator of
great. fortunes was society itself ;
justice demanded that "surplus"
wealth be returned to society. A rich
man's life, he said, should be. divided
into two parts the first of acquisi-
tion, and the second of distribution.
The man` "Who left his possessions by

public, for a man's greatest wealth
was his brain. At that time Car-
negie's capital was valued art $30;
000,000. Did he mean to give this
away in his lifetime? • There was
scepticism. To which. he replied:
"Wait and see!

opinion. was ignorance. \Vhat inter-

.Carnegie came upon the scene -at a
critical moment. America's two great
educational ideas are the use of pub-
lic money
c first. for universal rl t , -
y educa-
tion,
tion, and second for free lihearee. In
the late '90's the question of provid-
ing free hooks was an issue every-
where, opposed hy the conservatives
as socialistic. 'Carnegie stepped in-
to the breach, offering that any lo-
cality showing need and pledging an
annual appropriation for maintenance
could obtain a library building free.
To endww them' for hooks and main-
t�enance would have contravened his
basic idea, that public libraries were
a state function like public educa-
tion. H'e prodded the reluctant town
to do its dirty. Soon as many as•• a
thousand recjtles+ts a year were re-
ceived and acted on. "1 ani giving
away libraries at the rate of three
or four a day," he would write ex-
ultantly to friends. Their universal-
ity was the essential point., The
splendid P'itthhurgh institute ivas a
great satis'fac'tion., but equally was
a little house for hooks on the west-
ern prairie or the Smith Afriicai

buildings put up hy him have been
christened for him. Never, directle-

distinction. in indiana alone. of 155
