A Question of Salaries.
The cry that is frequently raised
about the salaries paid to cabinet min•
isters and judges being too large, has
its refutation in the much larger al-
lowances made to men occupying po-
sitions of trust in financial institutions.
'."Take for instance the case of Oronhya-
tekha, the head of the Independent
(' Other of Foresters. He receives a year-
ly salary of $10,000, and a few days ago
was voted $3,000 as a gratuity for work
;, in connection with the erection of the
r,<s. temple in Toronto. The secretary re-
'.i:;r, calves $6,000 and the other officers are
paid on a scale equal to that of a pro -
%j; .vincial cabinet minister. The people
out of whose pockets these salaries
come are the same as constitute the
large body of voters. How is it then,
that these people are willing to pay
! =
such large sums for work it connect -
',ion with an insurance society, while
grudgine. half the amount to the
inen who direct the work of a Province
-or a Dominion. Premier Laurier re-
.ceives $8,000 per annum, and is expect-
, ed to pay out of that numerous sums
`;icor public and charitable grants and
entertaining, while the late Hon. C. F.
Fraser, who superit.tended the erection
". of the Ontario 1 ornament buildings in
addition to his regular duties. and
built what are believed to be the best
public buildings in the world for the
money, had to get along on $4,000 per
annum, and never got a grant of a cent
'from the rich province of Ontario for
the bard work he performed ,in con=
vection therewith, which cost him his
life. It is no wonder that some of the
• best men in the country cannot he in-
tiueed to enter public life where the re-
.'"; wards are so meagre, while much bet-
ter fields are open to them in the finan-
cial world. It is said that Sir William
n Horne, President of the C. P. R.,
a salary of $100,000 per annum,
/Lind we know from a recent publication
'."that Mr Hays, manager of the G.T.R„
"receives $45,000 per annum. How do
"these salaries compare with those af
•:Cabinet ministers—the average of
"which for the Dominion is $7,000, and
for the Province $4,000 ? And will
to body contend that Mr Van Horne,
Mr Rhys, and Dr. Oronhyatekha work
harder, or occupy positions of greater
responsibility, than does Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, Mr Hardy, or any of the
judges of the Superior Courts P
In borne respects British Columbia is
the premier province. It has had 13
premiers since 1871.
Sir James Grout, just back from Eng
land, confirms the view that the capi-
talists of Great Britain are beginning
to recognize the value of Canada as a
field for investment.
Mr C. C. James, the Deputy Minister
of Agriculture, says that one of the
surest evidences of growing prosperity
among the farmers is the number of
new barns going up through the coun-
try. The modern barn is not the shed
of former days—it costs money. Let
us be thankful for the ne lv barns, as
well as the new factories. If the farm-
ers were not in a position to build
barns, the manufacturers would be un-
able to build factories.

Growing demand for young lambs
Lambs for mutton seem to be grow-
ing in favor in the great markets of the
world. There seems to be a demand
for all kinds of Lambs. Some markets
prefer very young lambs, others the
light lambs, and still others like the
very heavy lamps. In cater ing for the
trade the producers should endeavor to
supply the trade with the kind of lambs
the market demands, In the United
States some buyers will not take heavy
lambs, for the reason that when dress-
ed they had too much the appearance
of old sheep. Young lambs and light
lambs are always in demand,and there
there seems to pea good opportunity
to developa market of this kind. There
is a good money in raising money for
the Easter or early market. This can
be done without any great difficulty if
preparations are made for it.
To produce early Iambs early -matur-
ing breeds should be kept, such as Dor-
sets, Soffolks, or Hampshires. The
lambs from these should not be kept
1 ill they are eight or ten months old if
a heavy lamb is not required. The
great advantage of early -maturing
lambs is that they can be sold tor the
early market, or can be kept later and
soln as heavy lambs. The consensus
of opinion among many American
breeder s is that it pays better to sell
Iambs young than to raise them and
sell tLem as fat sheep.—Farming.

The Plebiscite Campaign
Mark your ballot thus
The Prohibition Plebiscite.
Rev. W. McDonagh's Arguments
in its Favor—the License Sys.
tem a Monstrous Thing—
Some Statistics.
On Sunday last the pulpit of the Cen-
tral Methodist church, Stratford, was
supplied by Rev. Wm. McDonagh,who
availed himself of an opportunity at the
evenine service to offer some remarks
on the liquor traffic and the prohibition
plebiscite to he taken on September 29,
The ground on which he based his dis-
course was in assuming the negative
side of arguments advanced by the op-
ponents of prohibition. In the first
place he showed that the Bible de-
nounces the excessive use of spirituous
liquors as a sin, and that sin of every
description is prohibited. The law of
God doesn't say that it is a crime to
drink liquor. By that law naevi( is
imputed as a crime. It is the law of
the land that designates what is or is
not a crime. Hence the man who says
that the prohibitionist of the liquor
traffic calls that a crime which God
does not, talks foolishly. The Bible
plainly says drinking is sinful, but that
is not why the temperance people .ask
for prohibition. It is because it blights
and curses satiety. To regulate and
restrict an e• it by law tor purposes of
revenue is a no,nstrnua thing; it is the
legislation of evil for gain,and t he Gov-
ernment that toleratessuch a thing per-
petrates a base usurpation of power.
No nation outside of Christendom tol-
erates the drinking habit by license.
The Buddhists and Mohammedans
knows nothing of such a system. The
day when Christian nations shall cease
to tolerate a law to regulate crime will
come, and in the face of the very em-
phatic vote in favor of prohibition re-
cently taken in Ontario, the reverend
gentlemen expressed surprise that any
public print could be found having
enough audacity to characterize the
prohibition agitation as a 'fad. The
editor who thus adds insult to injurj
must indeed be a hired emissary of the
liquor men.
Ths friends of prohibition do not
seek the supptession of the liquor traf-
fic because alcohol is a poison, hilt he-
cause of the evil and injurious effect it
has on society. Murder is prohibited
by law; suicide is not, and can not be.
A man can throw his own money into
Victoria Lake, hut he is prohibited
from taking another roan's money and
using it in a similar manner. In our
towns and cities we have what is known
as fire limits, and no man is permitted
to construct a, building of inflammable
material and thus menace the public
interest. A man may think what he
pleases about his neighbor's character
with perfect impunity, but the mom-
ent be gives expression to derogatory
thoughts that 'moment he leaves him-
selj amenable to the law of the land.
Again, the liquor men say that pro-
hibition will interfere with personal
liberty, in that it dictates what a man
may or may noteat or drink. 'I his Mr
McDonagh characterized as utterly
false premises. Prohibition of the li-
quor traffic will not prevent a man
from drinking what he likes in his own
home. The prohibitionists seek to des•
troy the traffic, not the liberty of the
individual. In every othIn respect ex-
cept that of dealing out liquor, the law
protects the interests of thecmtnfnunity
No man is permitted to destroy his old
house by fire in case he wishes to re-
build, though that would he the easiest
way of getting rid of the old structure.
His neighbor a interests must he pro-
tected. Disease invades the commun-
ity, and the victim is quarantined.
Here is a straight illustration of inter-
ference with personal liberty, yet
here is not one to question the right
of the community to protect its own
interests in this respect. Other in-
stances were also quoted by t he rever-
end gentlemen, showing that laws
have been enacted against the practise
of every act calculated to bring evil
upon a community, and all the prohib-
itionists want is to have the liquortraf-
fic declared eqnally criminal because of
its pernicious effect on society.
Touching briefly on the question ot
revenue, the speaker declared it absurd
to argue that the brewers and retailers
were contributing an immense amount
to the revenue of the county y. In the
first place the revenue which went into
the treasury was only one-flfth of the
total amount spent in liquor, and, sec-
ondly, it was the consumer wb.t lurid
it. During the past year ,$10,048),000'
was paid for liquor in Canada alone.
Of this vastlm the Government re-
ceived $8,000and the liquor men
pocketed $32,000,000, a net profit on the
capital invested of about 360 per cent.
No wonder Hon. Geo. E.Fisher has de.
clared that if he had all the money
spent for liquor in the Dominion since
Confederation he could wipe nut the
debt of the country and have a snug
sum left for other purposes.
Mr McDonagh closed by referring to
the lamentable position of the drunk-
ard, his ruined horse, body and soul,
and declared that the liquor habit de-
stroyed a larger number of lives than
war and pestilence combined. In view
of all the facts he maintained it to be
the duty of every person who desired
to do the right thing to vote for the
coming plebiscite.
Mr T. M. Humble, Toronto, who has
just returned from a business trip in
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces,
expresses the conviction that the vote
that will be cast in favor of prohibition
in the Ft each province will surprise
the advocates of that measure, as well
as the liquor interests. He states as
the retail'. of his investigation that the
sentiment in favor of prohibition is
much stronger than the people of On-
tario have any idea of. This is due to
the fact that the church has made no
definite pronuuncementagainst prohib-
ition, a tact which the workers on that
side have made the most of all over the
province, The crganization of the
temperance forces is also much more
thorough than in Ontario, and the en-
thusiasn of those engaged in the cam-
paign is also more marked. Among
the French people the question has ne-
verassumed a political aspect, so that
those who are on the side of prohibi-
tion have no party considerations to
weigh in marking their ballots. As
for the Maritime Provinces. the senti•
relent is so strong there that even the
Scott Act is acceptable to the people.

Mr R. J. Richardson, B.A., Stanley.
has been awarded a fellowship in phi'.
osophy, of $400, at Clark University,
Mass., for the coming year, beginning
Oct. 1st. This fellowship was awarded
as the result of testimonials from the
professors in Totonto University,as to
the excellence of Mr Richardson's work
while a student at that institution of
learning. The fellowship entails no
work for the Uni versity upon the recip-
ient, but is awarded solely for the pur-
pose of assisting the holder to study at
Clark University.
The many friends of Mr John Collie,
Bhlevale, were sadly surprised to hear
of his sudden death on Thursday morn-
iug of last week. Mr Collie had been
in poor health for more than a year
but had nodangerous malady. On Wed-
nesday he took ronoestion of the brain
and slept away, dying without a strug-
gle next morning. Mr Collie was born
in Murrayshire,Scotland, nearly sixty-
fiveoyears ago. He came to this coun-
try in 1856 and settled in Woodstock.
He entered the service of the G.N.R at
Beachville in 1868 and had been con-
nected with railway service for over 30
years when failing health compelled
him so resign his position as agent at
Blnevale last December, which posi-
tion he had held during the past twen-
ty-one years.
Many of our readers will (earn with
feelings of the sincerest sorrow of the
death of Mrs Wm. Taylor, of con. 9,
Morris, on Friday, Sept. 2, Mrs Tay-
lor was 41 years of age; her maiden
name was Annie Jamieson; she was a
step daughter of Mr John McMillan,
M. P. She was born at Roxboro, in
McKillop, where her patents first sett-
led when they came to Canada. She
was married to Mr Taylor in 1880; they
then resided in Hallett; five years later
they removed to the township of Mor-
ris, where they have resided ever since.
She leaves a family of two sons and
two daughters, and her husband, to
monrn the loss of a kind mother and a
loving wife. She was a consistent
member of the Methodist church, and
respected b
was loved andy all who en-
joyed her acquaintance.

Twenty Stories of Mark Twain.
Mark Twain is the next famous per-
son to be "anecdotalized" by the Lad-
ies' Home Journal, and the humorist's
closest friends have sent to the maga-
zine for its next number some twenty
odd stories about him, none of which
have ever been printed. They are, of
course, of the droll sort, but not more
funny than the "snap -shot" pictures
of Mark which his friends have also
loaned the magazine. These, too,have
never been printed.
THE SPY.
A spy is a person sent into an enemy's
camp to inspect his works, ascertain his
strength and report on his movements,
By the laws of war among civilized na-
tions a spy is subject to capital punish-
ment.
A state of war must exist before any
person can be executed as a spy, and he
must, in the first place, be naught inside
the enemy's linos.
To be treated as a spy it must bo shown
that at the time of capture he was in dress
other than the adopted military uniform
of his country.
A soldier caught within the enemy's
lines wearing his rightful uniform can
only bo held as a prisoner of war.
Not every person passing secretly
through the enemy's lines need necessarily
be a spy.
When captured, if the prisoner can show
that his errand in getting through was of
a personal nature, ho can only be held as
a prisoner of war.
Trading with the enemy or attempting
to enter his camp with letters of a personal
nature dons not constitute spying.
To be treated as a spy it must be clearly
shown that the object of the accused per-
son was to gain information for the enemy
which it would be to their advantage to
know.—Pearson's Weekly.
DAINTY TRIFLES.
The watch pendent from a brooch of
corresponding design shows no sign of
waning favor.
An attractive flexible bracelet noted
consists of seven moonstones set in gold
and linked with heavy chain.
The collarless bodice—the very last fan-
cy in day dress for summer—of course
means an extended use of necklaces of ev-
ery kind and quality.
The tall vase remains the flower holder
of the season. A popular form is white or
tinted glass simply waved or fluted, Hand-
somer ones are richly Cut.
The harness belt has by no means disap-
peared, and one in white leather with a
silver built buckle gives just the correct
touch to the fashionable "all white" sum-
mer coeturne.
One of the new wrinkled belts Is provid-
ed with pretty clasps in shaded silver.
These are not more than an inch in width,
and they therefore draw the wide ribbon
down into the narrow band that so well
accentuates a trim waist.—Jewelers'' Cir-

The Prohibition Plebiscite.
Rev. W. McDonagh's Arguments
in its Favor—the License Sys.
tem a Monstrous Thing—
Some Statistics.
On Sunday last the pulpit of the Cen-
tral Methodist church, Stratford, was
supplied by Rev. Wm. McDonagh,who
availed himself of an opportunity at the
evenine service to offer some remarks
on the liquor traffic and the prohibition
plebiscite to he taken on September 29,
The ground on which he based his dis-
course was in assuming the negative
side of arguments advanced by the op-
ponents of prohibition. In the first
place he showed that the Bible de-
nounces the excessive use of spirituous
liquors as a sin, and that sin of every
description is prohibited. The law of
God doesn't say that it is a crime to
drink liquor. By that law naevi( is
imputed as a crime. It is the law of
the land that designates what is or is
not a crime. Hence the man who says
that the prohibitionist of the liquor
traffic calls that a crime which God
does not, talks foolishly. The Bible
plainly says drinking is sinful, but that
is not why the temperance people .ask
for prohibition. It is because it blights
and curses satiety. To regulate and
restrict an e• it by law tor purposes of
revenue is a no,nstrnua thing; it is the
legislation of evil for gain,and t he Gov-
ernment that toleratessuch a thing per-
petrates a base usurpation of power.
No nation outside of Christendom tol-
erates the drinking habit by license.
The Buddhists and Mohammedans
knows nothing of such a system. The
day when Christian nations shall cease
to tolerate a law to regulate crime will
come, and in the face of the very em-
phatic vote in favor of prohibition re-
cently taken in Ontario, the reverend
gentlemen expressed surprise that any
public print could be found having
enough audacity to characterize the
prohibition agitation as a 'fad. The
editor who thus adds insult to injurj
must indeed be a hired emissary of the
liquor men.
Ths friends of prohibition do not
seek the supptession of the liquor traf-
fic because alcohol is a poison, hilt he-
cause of the evil and injurious effect it
has on society. Murder is prohibited
by law; suicide is not, and can not be.
A man can throw his own money into
Victoria Lake, hut he is prohibited
from taking another roan's money and
using it in a similar manner. In our
towns and cities we have what is known
as fire limits, and no man is permitted
to construct a, building of inflammable
material and thus menace the public
interest. A man may think what he
pleases about his neighbor's character
with perfect impunity, but the mom-
ent be gives expression to derogatory
thoughts that 'moment he leaves him-
selj amenable to the law of the land.
Again, the liquor men say that pro-
hibition will interfere with personal
liberty, in that it dictates what a man
may or may noteat or drink. 'I his Mr
McDonagh characterized as utterly
false premises. Prohibition of the li-
quor traffic will not prevent a man
from drinking what he likes in his own
home. The prohibitionists seek to des•
troy the traffic, not the liberty of the
individual. In every othIn respect ex-
cept that of dealing out liquor, the law
protects the interests of thecmtnfnunity
No man is permitted to destroy his old
house by fire in case he wishes to re-
build, though that would he the easiest
way of getting rid of the old structure.
His neighbor a interests must he pro-
tected. Disease invades the commun-
ity, and the victim is quarantined.
Here is a straight illustration of inter-
ference with personal liberty, yet
here is not one to question the right
of the community to protect its own
interests in this respect. Other in-
stances were also quoted by t he rever-
end gentlemen, showing that laws
have been enacted against the practise
of every act calculated to bring evil
upon a community, and all the prohib-
itionists want is to have the liquortraf-
fic declared eqnally criminal because of
its pernicious effect on society.
Touching briefly on the question ot
revenue, the speaker declared it absurd
to argue that the brewers and retailers
were contributing an immense amount
to the revenue of the county y. In the
first place the revenue which went into
the treasury was only one-flfth of the
total amount spent in liquor, and, sec-
ondly, it was the consumer wb.t lurid
it. During the past year ,$10,048),000'
was paid for liquor in Canada alone.
Of this vastlm the Government re-
ceived $8,000and the liquor men
pocketed $32,000,000, a net profit on the
capital invested of about 360 per cent.
No wonder Hon. Geo. E.Fisher has de.
clared that if he had all the money
spent for liquor in the Dominion since
Confederation he could wipe nut the
debt of the country and have a snug
sum left for other purposes.
Mr McDonagh closed by referring to
the lamentable position of the drunk-
ard, his ruined horse, body and soul,
and declared that the liquor habit de-
stroyed a larger number of lives than
war and pestilence combined. In view
of all the facts he maintained it to be
the duty of every person who desired
to do the right thing to vote for the
coming plebiscite.
Mr T. M. Humble, Toronto, who has
just returned from a business trip in
Quebec and the Maritime Provinces,
expresses the conviction that the vote
that will be cast in favor of prohibition
in the Ft each province will surprise
the advocates of that measure, as well
as the liquor interests. He states as
the retail'. of his investigation that the
sentiment in favor of prohibition is
much stronger than the people of On-
tario have any idea of. This is due to
the fact that the church has made no
definite pronuuncementagainst prohib-
ition, a tact which the workers on that
side have made the most of all over the
province, The crganization of the
temperance forces is also much more
thorough than in Ontario, and the en-
thusiasn of those engaged in the cam-
paign is also more marked. Among
the French people the question has ne-
verassumed a political aspect, so that
those who are on the side of prohibi-
tion have no party considerations to
weigh in marking their ballots. As
for the Maritime Provinces. the senti•
relent is so strong there that even the
Scott Act is acceptable to the people.

rick street. Wingham, on Tuesday ev-

Mr R. J. Richardson, B.A., Stanley.
has been awarded a fellowship in phi'.
osophy, of $400, at Clark University,
Mass., for the coming year, beginning
Oct. 1st. This fellowship was awarded
as the result of testimonials from the
professors in Totonto University,as to
the excellence of Mr Richardson's work
while a student at that institution of
learning. The fellowship entails no
work for the Uni versity upon the recip-
ient, but is awarded solely for the pur-
pose of assisting the holder to study at
Clark University.
The many friends of Mr John Collie,
Bhlevale, were sadly surprised to hear
of his sudden death on Thursday morn-
iug of last week. Mr Collie had been
in poor health for more than a year
but had nodangerous malady. On Wed-
nesday he took ronoestion of the brain
and slept away, dying without a strug-
gle next morning. Mr Collie was born
in Murrayshire,Scotland, nearly sixty-
fiveoyears ago. He came to this coun-
try in 1856 and settled in Woodstock.
He entered the service of the G.N.R at
Beachville in 1868 and had been con-
nected with railway service for over 30
years when failing health compelled
him so resign his position as agent at
Blnevale last December, which posi-
tion he had held during the past twen-
ty-one years.
Many of our readers will (earn with
feelings of the sincerest sorrow of the
death of Mrs Wm. Taylor, of con. 9,
Morris, on Friday, Sept. 2, Mrs Tay-
lor was 41 years of age; her maiden
name was Annie Jamieson; she was a
step daughter of Mr John McMillan,
M. P. She was born at Roxboro, in
McKillop, where her patents first sett-
led when they came to Canada. She
was married to Mr Taylor in 1880; they
then resided in Hallett; five years later
they removed to the township of Mor-
ris, where they have resided ever since.
She leaves a family of two sons and
two daughters, and her husband, to
monrn the loss of a kind mother and a
loving wife. She was a consistent
member of the Methodist church, and
respected b
was loved andy all who en-
joyed her acquaintance.

Twenty Stories of Mark Twain.
Mark Twain is the next famous per-
son to be "anecdotalized" by the Lad-
ies' Home Journal, and the humorist's
closest friends have sent to the maga-
zine for its next number some twenty
odd stories about him, none of which
have ever been printed. They are, of
course, of the droll sort, but not more
funny than the "snap -shot" pictures
of Mark which his friends have also
loaned the magazine. These, too,have
never been printed.
THE SPY.
A spy is a person sent into an enemy's
camp to inspect his works, ascertain his
strength and report on his movements,
By the laws of war among civilized na-
tions a spy is subject to capital punish-
ment.
A state of war must exist before any
person can be executed as a spy, and he
must, in the first place, be naught inside
the enemy's linos.
To be treated as a spy it must bo shown
that at the time of capture he was in dress
other than the adopted military uniform
of his country.
A soldier caught within the enemy's
lines wearing his rightful uniform can
only bo held as a prisoner of war.
Not every person passing secretly
through the enemy's lines need necessarily
be a spy.
When captured, if the prisoner can show
that his errand in getting through was of
a personal nature, ho can only be held as
a prisoner of war.
Trading with the enemy or attempting
to enter his camp with letters of a personal
nature dons not constitute spying.
To be treated as a spy it must be clearly
shown that the object of the accused per-
son was to gain information for the enemy
which it would be to their advantage to
know.—Pearson's Weekly.
DAINTY TRIFLES.
The watch pendent from a brooch of
corresponding design shows no sign of
waning favor.
An attractive flexible bracelet noted
consists of seven moonstones set in gold
and linked with heavy chain.
The collarless bodice—the very last fan-
cy in day dress for summer—of course
means an extended use of necklaces of ev-
ery kind and quality.
The tall vase remains the flower holder
of the season. A popular form is white or
tinted glass simply waved or fluted, Hand-
somer ones are richly Cut.
The harness belt has by no means disap-
peared, and one in white leather with a
silver built buckle gives just the correct
touch to the fashionable "all white" sum-
mer coeturne.
One of the new wrinkled belts Is provid-
ed with pretty clasps in shaded silver.
These are not more than an inch in width,
and they therefore draw the wide ribbon
down into the narrow band that so well
accentuates a trim waist.—Jewelers'' Cir-
