" Bemuses"
Why we ask for and expect
your perfume trade.
BECAUSE our assortment places
about every worth while sort before
you for your choosing,
BECAUSE what we haven't got we
wouldn't oaro to sell you if we did
have it.
BECAUSE all our Perfume Is PER.
FUME. Even our lowest prices
secure you true ortors-and you'll
buy them for their own sake and not
because of cheapness.
BECAUSE our standard of Perfume
excellence is purposely set high --
and what passes our inspection ie
very likely to impress you with its
goodness,
May we for these reasons hope for a
chsnce to please you.

cessation of fighting is but n prelude to
the renewal of the battle between the
mutineers and the local troops, The
casualty list on both sides must be
heavy, for the fighting was waled with
desperation. Various rumors are heard
regarding the fate of the officers who
were at Sveaborg and in the Sknludden
barracks. According to one rumor, al-
most all the oft'iecrs and, nec'o•ding to
another. almost all the junior officers
sided wwith the mutineers.

No Report of Suspension,
St. Petersburg, Aug. 6, 1 a. nt.—No re-
port of the suspension of the great re-
volt of the garrison at Sveaborg fort-
ress, "the Gibraltar of the north," has
been received in St. Petersburg up to
this hour.
The secondary uprising among the
marines and troops stationed at Skattnl-
den barracks on the peninsula comnmulti-
cating with the mainland was crushed
out at a late hour yesterday evening
by loyal troops after heavy fighting, in
which nine cruisers, destroyers, and
torpedo boats participated.
The sound of firing on the islands and
from the fortress has ceased, end,'' in
spite of the fact that the occupation
of the entire waterfront by Cossacks
prevents the obtaining of positive news,
it is understood at Helsingfors that the
mutinous artillerymen and sappers still
are holding their positions. The out-
lying islands and the fortress appear
still to be in their possession, and they
practically have all the machine .guns,
quick firing, and movable artillery of the
fortress. General Laiming, the con•
manhunt of the fortress, is holding on to
the main forts on Commander Island
with a force of loyal infanry. t

A general strike was declared in llel-

oday. All factories have been closed.
The last direct despatch from the cor-
respondent of • the Associated Press,
which has just arrived here, was eleven
(hours en route from Helsingfors. The
correspondent said that the "Red
Guard," the armed Socialist legion, was
,contemplating an artned uprising to at.
tempt the release of the prisoners cap-
tured in the Skatudden barracks.
Owing to the cutting of the telegraph
wires by the flying expedition of the
"Red Guard," which destroyed the rail-
road at Iliihioaki, the Associated Press
is receiving the freshest news of the
mutiny by the roundabout means of
telephoning to Viborg and telegraphing
from there to St, Petersburg. This
entails a delay of several hours.
The military authorities received a
telegram from Helsingfors today from
'Major-General Lniming, announcing that
'the fortresses and artillery had opened
fire on Commander Island,

From New Brunswick,
Ottawa, Aug, ti. --During the last sea-
siot of Parliament $1,000 was voted for
a commission to repot upon the diffi-
culties which exist between the citizens
of Canada and the United States over
the St, John sliver. When the Inter-
national Waterways Commission was
appointed it was understood that this
would be one of the subjects dealt with,
but 'the United States Government re•
fused to include it, or rather, took it
out of the net. A special commission
was theft suggested, and to be ready if
the United States curried this out the
Canadian Government had the money
voted.
A despatch has now been received from
the British Ambassador at Washington
saying that the United States has decid-
ed to appoint commissioners to go in-
to the whole matter. Canada has sug-
gested two commissioners of each side.
It is likely that this will be done. In
the case of Canada there is a strong
irrobabilit:y that the commissioners will
be selected from \awn Brunswick, as they
will be conversant with the whole mat-
ter. It is desirable that the commis-

Animated Debate.
An animated debuts followed the clos-
ing of Mr. Churchill's remarks. Alfred
bittelt•on, krnterly Colonial Secretary,
said he thought the proposal premature,
coning as it diel only four years after
the war. In the great. clasuical case of
Canada Lord Durham recommended a
policy that, he said, would insure that
the English majority should pernanentdy
predomina te.
,Mr. Balfour declared it to be a reck-
less and audacious experiment. He
argued that it was ton near the war to
expect the Dutch to forget what they
had suffered, and more than human na-
ture could grant to expect them to be
loyal 1,0 Great Britain. He declared an
explanation of this% hurried procedure
was the Governntent's'burning desire to
get rid of all it/.4 economic questions in
South Africa, which its mall pledges of
a general election had brought upon it.
Premier's Reply,
Sir Henry O,unpbell•l3annerman, the
Premier, answered that never in the
course of his Parliamentary career had
he list,. Ted to a more unworthy, mis-
ehievioana and unpatriotic speech,
An exciting scene followed, the Union-

man promptly called a division on the
question of the Colonial Secretary's sal-

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The St. Thomas Tunes makes the
following comment on the canal
scheme of Mr. N. M. Cantin, of St.
Joseph :—Mr. Cantin is certainly
making calculations on a monument-
al scale, and dealing in high figures.
Some will be inclined to think he
was, to use a common expression,
"talking through his hat," but the
project he outlines is no greater than
the Trent Valley canal, which has
cost millions and done party service
in many election campaigns, and
has not yet returned any revenue to
speak of ; yet it is under way, and
at some time may be an avenue for
commerce between the east and west.
This Lake Huron and Lake Erie
canal, if built, would be a rival con•
cern for through cargoes. It is quite
as feasible as the Trent Volley, and
may at some time be a reality. The
possibilities for avenues of transpor-
tation are great, in view of the rapid
settlement and boundless resources
of the Canadian northwest provinces.

the present time he could urge this
denial quite honestly. IIis present
motive is to estl,hlish his business on
an assured basis which can only be
done 1n some cases, it semis appal'-
ent, by placing an embargo on for-
eign go.xls of a higher class than he
can manufacture, nn(1 which eat11 his
sold at tt price lower than that at
lvhich, according to his own atlntis-
sion, he can produce thein. The
manufacturer of eastern Cnnntia,
therefore, as a preliminary to his
own solicitation to the custom of
western Canada, is seeking to induce
the government to so increase the
duty on the articles he produces
that the farmer of the prairies will
be obliged to purchase his products
in preference to all others, although
their quality may be inferior and
their price excessive ; and he is ask-
ing the federal administration to co•
operate with hitn in thrusting these
'horne•made goods of questionable
character, perhaps, on the agricul-
tural population of the west,
The department of physics at the
Ontario agricultural college is mak.
ing an effort to Impress farmers with
the proper drainage of their land,
The movement has so won the ap.
proval of the minister of agriculture
that he has authorized members of
the staff to go out among the far-
mers whenever requested, take the
levels of their land, locate the drains
for them and give information gen-
erally on the subject, the only ex•
pense connected with the work being
the travelling expenses of one man.
Where two or three persons in the
same vicinity have work to be done,
they may arrange together to have
all done during one trip, each pay-
ing his proportionate share of the
expense. In this way the individual
outlay may he reduced to a very
small sum. The department is also
endeavoring to collect information
with regard to damage done by
lightning in the trope that a fuller
understanding of its tendencies and
vagaries may lead tomo more efficient
protection against it.
Is this a true bill ? We hope that
in the platter Of quality of goods it is
not. Unfortunately, some of the
manufacturers have given cause for
suspicion by their eager and per.
sistent clamor for higher tariff pro.
teetion, arid the association el' the
ideas as presented by the Province
has a bad look, We trust that it is
only in look that it points to the
Province's conclusion ; but the desire
to rely on tariffs has n tendency to
weaken faith in quality of the very
best products, The Pia,yince de.
Glares that, if instead of clamoring
for tariffs to force the northwest
people to buy the eastern product,
the eastern Canadian manufacturer
"would visit the great country he-
tween Lake Superior and the Pacific
ocean, would inform himself thor•
oughly of the immense prospects for
trade there now and in the enlarging
future, and would set himself to
court the custom of this country by
honest methods and sterling pro..
ducts, he would find that in the long
run it would pay him far better than
to work for high tariffs and govern•
inert bonas." It dwells on the great
harvest being gathered, and ex-
presses the opinion that "in becom•
ing acquainted with the western
agriculturalist he would discover
that it would be unwise for hitn to
begin a long and intimate business
connection by administering a dose
of high tariff knockout drops."
There is something in the Prov-
ince's words which our high•tarifi
manufacturers ought to take to
heart, The clamor for higher duties
is not a good advertisement for thein
in the west ; and the west is worth
considering. That market must be
held, and beyond the very substan-
tial tariff now in force It must be
held by virtue of the quality of the
goods and enterprise of their makers,
Even it' any government were fool-
ish enough to yield to the C11111101'
for the oppression of the west by
high tariff on the manufactures need-
ed there, nothing would be gabled
by it ; much (night be lost, The
east Is not, always going to manor
facture all the goods for the west,
and the one thing needed to induce
the west to ina.nufacture for itself is
the feeling that it is being oppressed
by taxes levied to unduly favor
eastern manufacturers, We shall
have the western market only so
long as we supply it with good goods
at reasonable prices. But the west
will not stand tariff spoliation,
DONT PLUNDER THE WEST.
The Vancouver Province, in a
somewhat lengthy article on "The
Manufacturers' Market," considers
the various aspects of Canada's pro-
gress in this growing time, and does
a little moralizing upon the situa-
tion. It finds the growth principally
in the west, the agricultural east
leaking hr.t slow progress. The at-
tractions of' the west draw off otic
population, and our progress here is
largely in the urban districts, where
great prosperity exists, because of
the vastly increased market the
rapidly filling west offers to the
manufacturers, The Province re-
marks that if the eastern manufac-
turer Is wise, " he will seek to sup-
ply it in a manner satisfactory to
the consumer and so establish an en-
larging trade on the solid basis of'
confidence," But our contemporary
evidently does not think the manu-
facturers of the east are depending
entirely on this method of holding
the western market. We quote :
As.yet, however, the eastern mann•
facture!' is giving his attention more
to the question of' excluding rival
goods from foreign parts, so that he
may enjoy a monopoly in his own
country and may, If it sults him, in-
crease his prides and lessen the qual-
ity of the articles he produces. Of'
course he will deny that his demand
for higher tfu'ifi' is made with any

nrantt'ord School for Blind.
'Po the Editor of THE STANDARD:
Delo' Sir, -1. ask ,your assistance to
enable me to get into communication
with the parents or guardirtas of all the
blind children in Ontario, under the
age of 21 years. The institution for the
education and instruction of the blind,
maintained by the Ontario legislature
admits as pupils "all blind youths, of
both sexe, between the age of seven
and 21, not deficient in intellect, and
free from disease or physical infirmity,
being residents of the province of On-
tario," It is not necessary that the
applicant, shall be totally blind ; the
test is inability to "rend ordinary type
and attend a school for the seeing with-
out serious injury to the sight," The
initial difficulty is to locate the children
who are eligible for admission, and it
will be helpful in the future if your
readers will seed me the names and ad-
dresses of blind children under seven,
as well as of those between seven and
21.
Should you favor Inc by the publica-
tion of this letter, I would ask your
readers not to depend upon the parents
of the children with defective sight to
attend to this matter. If all could wit-
ness the gain in health, happiness,
knowledge and self reliance that comes
to those who, deprived by their afflic-
tion of access to the public schools,
take advantage of the educational fa•
cilities afforded by this institution,'
none would begrudge the timo and
trouble required to widen the scope of
the school's influence, Send the the
names and addresses, and I will by cor-
respondence or visitation do the rest,

Montreal, Ottawa and other Cana-
dian cities. In 1867, Thomas D'Arcy
McGee contested Montreal as a can-
didate for its representation In the
house of commons, He was bitterly
opposed by the Fenian element
among his own countrymen. Ap•
parently his death was then decided
upon, and a few months afterwards
he was murdered, The assassin was
discovered, arrested and condemned
to death, A Fenian rescue was ex•
petted, and 200 Ottawa citizens took
the precaution to attend the hanging
to ses that justice was not interfered
with, The details of the story are
entertainingly told in the August
Canadian Magazine by Mr. J. E. B.
McCready, the veteran journalist,
who was in Ottawa at the time,

Are You in Business
For Business ?
If you had an opportunity of addressing 1,000 people in a hall
with the privilege of delivering an address on your business and the
wares you sell, you would be apt to make that address as interest-
ing as possible, so that your hearers would listen and you profit by
it. It is just the same with an advertisement in THE STANDARD.
You have the privilege of talking every v'eek to hundreds of people
and if you are selling honest goods and tell the people about them
in a straightforward manner you cannot avoid reaping a benefit.
We stand ready and willing at all times to assist our patrons in
preparing their advertisements—yes, give them assistance that
would cost from $5 to $70 if a city advertising expert were consult-
ed—and do it free of charge. But bear in mind that no man can

President Roosevelt and Dr, t:Goler, of
Rochester, are both interested in the
baby crop. The President thinks people
ought to have more babies; Dr. tlolcr,
who is a city health officer, thinks they
should take better care of those that are
born to them. His motto is:: "Better
babies and fewer baby deaths." and he
has something to show as the result of
bis theory put into practice, In the nine
years from 1888 to 1896, before Dr. Go1•
er entered upon his official duties, 1,038
babies under one year old died in Roches-
ter during July and August. In the nine
years following 1890 the infant mortality
during the sante months was 701. Surely
such a record speaks well for Dr. Color's
work. A saving of nearly a thou..sand
child lives in nine years is vastly better
than an increase in the birth-rate to that
extent. Much of the success he has
achieved is attributed to activity in se-
curing pure milk and in educating the
mothers in how to care for their off-
spring, especially in hot weather. Dr.
t.;oler''s safeguards against race suicide
arc simple and effective. (give the baby
no food other than milk, eNcept upon the
advice of a, physician; do not feed. it
simply because it cries, in order to keep
it quiet, but give it water; be sure that
it gets enough sleep and pure air; bathe
it daily; do not put too much clothing
upon it in hot tv-eather, and do not han-
dle it unnecessarily. 'Think what, suffer-
ing may be spared the little ones by in-
telligent care and feeding. Many a wo-
man who would take the trouble to seek
the best information on the care and
feeding of canaries, treat their own off-
spring as if they were proof against all
the blunders of their dense ignorance of
their duties as mothers. Much can be
done by dissenrinating information am-
ong the people. .Mothers of experi-
ence should instruct their daughters, and
young matrons should seek the guidance
of the physician. The public health of-
ficers can be of much utility in such a
campaign. Fecundity contributes to na-
tional strength, but of what use is a high
birth rate, if the children are allowed to
perish because of the incapacity of those
to whom their care and nurture natur-
ally falls?
The Czar has gone over to the auto-
cracy and has dashed the hopes of those
who would have thrown his influence
on the side of the people. He has dis-
solved the Domini, and ordered a new
election, declaring St. Petersburg city
and province to be in "a Mate of extra-
ordllivatry security," it condition conse-
quent on massing great bodies of troops
to overawe the people, Goremnvkin is
succeeded in the premiership by Stolypi11,
and there is very indication that the
Czar and the party of force have re-
solved to defy the people. The bureau-
crats depend on the army. which is
strong in the great cities, the troops
being placed with a skill which shows the
coup to have been carefully 1' Vaned,
Just how fan' the troops may he de-
pended upon is a question to be an-
swered in the ftutin'e.
The challenge this hurled at the
masses is a bold and defiant 011e. The
peasantry in solve quarters are pillaging
and sacking estates and defying the
troops, This will probably be the kind
.of warfare adopted rather than uprisings
on a large scale, The troops cannot be
everywhere, lull everywhere the spirit
of revolution is manifest, The bomb,
the. bullet and the dagger will not be
rnhenrd of, and "leen of ldood and iron"
may not be able to stand between the
Czar and the fate he so foolishly dal -
lenges.
Already the bureaucratic officials are
gathering in by hundreds the leaders of
public opinion and easting therm into
prison. The policy of repression is to be
followed to the end. and the end may
conte sooner than they expect, The
navy is distrusted. Some regiments are
said to be sick of their work and indis-
posed to fire upon their appressed civil-
ian brethren. Any considerable weaken-
ing in the loyalty of the army would be
the signal for a general uprising, and if
such takes place the influence of the Wren
who are being iminured in dungeons may
be, needed to sate, the lives of their
cruel oppressors. And it may not then
be available. Even the person of the
Little Father may as leader of the
tyrants cense to be sacred.

THE TRUNK NUISANCE,
The Extra Work Unnecessarily Imposed
on the "Baggage-Sr.asher."
The happiest most euntented Ameri-
can is he who in his journeying 19 trend
from an encumbrance of trunks. One or
two should be sufficitnt for the average
man or woman and of moderate si'.e.
The well-dressed, the refined ,the moil-
ed, do not require an outfitter's shop as
a part of their daily wardrobe. if it
is a fluffy summer girl, whose int si..n
to the seaside or mountain is not for
health or enjoyment, but to pose ns a
milliner's model, or a newly rich matron
whose mantua-maker has been given
carte blanche ,and who is aching to
shine and outshine, that is another mat-
ter, and the number of trunks is not per-
mitted to interfere in her plans.
The other side of this trunk nuisance
is the amount of extra work whish is
unnecessarily imposed upon the vest
army of men once known as "baggage -
mashers," but now known as baggage
men. During this season of the year
this branch of the railroad business is
greatly overworked. It is exacting,
hurried and exasperating labor, and tite
only wonder is, considering the number
of pieces handled during the season that
more are not lost or smashed than re-
ports show. The baggage smasher of
twenty years ago would stand little
show of retaining his place under the
present system. The exercise of care
and the necessity of reducing dmmnge
claims to the minimum has revolution-
ized, in great measure, baggage handling
methods. Where trunks are ruined now
it is either because they were of filmes'
construction or partly damaged at the
outstart,—Philadelphia Press.

Thomas Hardy's First Love.
That Thomas l[nrdy, although he aban-
doned his profession of architect to be-
come a writer, has nor forgotten his
first love, is shown by .in interesting
paper recently written by him for the
Society for the Protection of Ancle►rt
Buildings. 'The subject was the restora-
tion of churches; and the author, after
speaking of the many open abuses in Re-
called "restoration," goes on to say that
were he now practising as an architect
}le would not undertake to restore an
old] church under any circumstances. In
such an edifice the human interest, n!-
ways ranks before the architectural in-
terest, and therein lies the whole diffi-
culty of restoration. The ideal method,
he thinks, would be to eirelose the ruined
church in a crystal palace and to build a
new one nlongside—although it is scarce-
ly necessary to any tint he does not of-
fer this ria a practical experiment,

Glass to Keep Out Beat.
An Austrian Inventor, Itichard Szlg-

iarity is that it prevents the passage of
nine -tenths of the heat of the sun's rays.
it is well known that ordinary wiry
dow glass allows .neariy all of the heat
derived from the sun to pass through,
but, on the other hand, intercepts all
heat coating from non -luminous sources,
such nis a stove or the heated ground.
This is the reason why heat accumulates
under the glees roof of a hot'house.

London's Last /'ablle Hanging.
The grewsome speetacle of a public

of the past. The scaffold used to be
erected in the roadway outside the
prison, and crowds would assemble to
witness the sight, the last time a tnau

SOURCE OF SHELLAC.
The East India Insecta That Produce
the Resinous Substance.
India is the home of the Coccus lac-
ca, the insects that produce the resin-
ous substance known as shellac. The
females puncture the twigs of several
different kinds ot trees, among them
the bo, the bibar and the butes, and the
twigs become incrusted with a hard,
nearly transparent, reddish, resinous
substance that serves the double pur-
,pose of protecting the eggs and finally
furnishing food for the young insects,
The Incrusted twigs are broken from
the trees before the young insects es-
cape and are thoroughly dried in the
sun. These dried twigs are called
"stick -lac," and from them shellac and
a dye analogous to cochineal are pre-
pared. "Seed -lac" Is the resinous con-
cretion separated from the twigs,
coarsely pounded and triturated with
water In a mortar, 1)7 which nearly all
of the coloring matter is removed.
To prepare shellac the seed -lac Is put
into oblong cotton cloth bags and
warmed over a charcoal fire. When tho
rosin begins to melt the bags are twist-
ed, and the pure, clear rosin is allowed
to flow over fig wood planks or the
stuooth stems of the banyan tree and
cools in the thin plates or shells which
constitute shellac.
Pure shellac is very valuable, It is
much harder than colophony and is
easily soluble in alcohol,

FIGHTING FISH.
Peenifar Animals That Are Foam!
Only ,In Siamese Waters.
A favorite recreation In Slam is
watching the fighting fish, a species of
fish found in the waters of no other
country. The fish cannot live in unity,
and If two are placed in a bowl they
will instantly engage in a struggle "to
the death."
It is no unusual thing to see In the
streets of Slam crowds of natives chat-
tering and gesticulating around a bawl
containing a number of these fldb,
which they bet on in the same way as
more civilized people do on race horses.
Intense excitement reigns among the
natives as they watch the fish fighting
within the bowl.
These peculiarly quarrelsome fish are
very similar to the common pike in ap-
pearance, with the exception that they
are not In the possession of gills, Their
fins, too, are; remarkably sharp, and
these they use with terrible effect upon
one another. Blood oozes from their
sides, and yet they persist in fighting
until perhaps only two are left alive,
and then the survivors turn on one an-
other until only one is left out of per-
haps a dozen placed In the tub.
Although the fighting fish are ex-
ceptionally good to eat, the majority of
natives esteem them only for their
fighting propensities, which affords
them amusement and excitement every
day.
