That is the ideal, not to be realized, perhaps, in this lower sphere, but certainly to be re- alized sonietirae and somewhere. Something of the same sert hap- pened to the human soul when' it came from the hand of God. Tlae in- finite finger tips no sooner touched the TaW material out. of which we were fashioned, the breath of our Maker no sooner entered our nostrils than there was established an inti- macy between the soul and its God, for when God had finished the task there was something left in the man which will forever draw him. toward everything that is high and holy and will not let hina rest until he has reached his ideal.

"TR/AL BY BATTLE," Case That Isid to Change in Eng -i lisIVJurisprudenee. • The Dermoke claim in England • to ; • the king's championship reminds one , !of the antiquity of the office, which I, was established by the conquerer fafter the battle of Hastings, wheo e the dignity was conferred on Robert I de Marmion, Lord of Fontenay.. But the championship is closely inter- vveven with the trial by combat. How many Britons are aware that trial by combat formed an essential 'pert of British jurisprudence until the beginning of the reign of George ,IV., or how it ended ?. At , that 'time, there being a charge of mar - der against a certain Abraham .Thornton, the gentleman was advise :ed by his counsel to claim his right ;of "ttial lay battle." Accordingly, !when brought before the cotirt of , king's bench he flung down his 'gage.

This is the first iinporteat dairy- men's meeting evei held in this sec- tion, and we do hope we will be able to impress you more fully with 'the vast importance of our work. We made 2,494,06 boxee of cheese in iff01, valued at $17,500,00.0. We exported from Montreal up to the close of navigation, 1,791,613 boxes; since the close of navigation, 102,- 439; from Portland, 200,6$4 boxes,. and we have on hand 400,000 baxes.

We cam all la- joice over our greanaery butter, for never in the history of our cotintry have we made as fine quality. We made 670,893 packages, valued at $8,000,000; 'made up as follow's: 410,893 packages exported from Montreal till close of 'navigation. Since the close of navigation 35,000 packages have been shipped. We find on hand 25,000 packages, and we consumed 200,000 packages. • So. our cheese and butter crime to $25,- 500,000, or a gain of $500,000 over 1900, and to this we must add our hog products, $14,500,000, which makes '$40,000,000 that our dairy- men have produced in 1901, arid we are in better position to make more next season. Quite a uuniber 'of o factories have been greittly improv- ed, and we believe a large inimber more will be greatly improved before another Season begine. . THE FUTURE BRIGHT. . A large nuniber of our makers are attending ono or other of our well, equipped dairy schools this winter.

But, in the eyes 0 the law there le con- siderable cortfusien as to the neces-. sary qualifications which outsiders must show before they eau be ad- z:tatted to all the privileges ot citi- zenship. On this account the Memo Secretary appointed an interdeparta' mental coounittee 3.8 months ago to report "upon the doubts and diffi- caltieS which have arisen in connec- tion with the interpretatien and ad- ministration of the acts relating to naturalization, and to adyise whe- ther legislation for the amending of theee acts ie desirable, and, if so, what scope and direehion such, legis- lation should take. ' Who is a British sttbiect? The committee Point out that: "To the thatmon law belongs the fundamental principle that any Per- son who is born within His Ma- jesty's dominions is froro the mo- ment of his birth te 13ritieh subject, whatever be the nationality of either or both his parents, and however temporary and casual the eireuni- stances determining tbe locality of his birth may have been." The child oi an alien enemY horn in a part of Ilia Majesty's dominions which is at the time in hostile oc- copation is not a Dritish subjeet. Again, the child born within the Bri- tish dozintuoes of an Ambassador or other diplomatic agent accredited to the Crown by a foreign sovereign is not a British subject, The limits of this lattee exception ha.Ve not been exactly ascertained. The King's son is always a 13ritish subject, wherever lie may be born. With this exception the acquisition of the status of a 13ritish subject by parents rests on statate law. A person whose father or parental grandfaeher, was born within His Majesty's dominions is deemed a na- tural born British sabject, although he hireself WaS horn abroad, , To the category of phrsons who are British subjects by rea.son of their birth having taken piece with- in His Majesty's clominiens must 'be added those who are born on board a British ship.. Some doubt exists as to the extent of this rule. There seems to be no doubt, the committee remitters, that a person is a natural-born British sohject who ie (a) Born on board a British ship of war, wherever such ship inahr be. (b) Born On board a. British mere It is suggested that a simple rule should be made that any child on a foreign ship while in British Waters should not be deemed to be a , sub- ject of this country, ovvirig to ehis accidena of. birth; but, on the other hand, an infant who first looks out 'on hie under the white and .red. en - 'sign wherever. it -oay fly afloat is apparently a subject of the King, although he be as blaeh as ebonY or his father be thie country's most deadly enemyeeLooden TelegraPh.
