He dealt with the possibilities 4 of Rural 'Work, in the development of young men along Social, Physical, Educational and Religloge lines, lie emphasized the work of the °nitrite - Secretary, whose chief business it was not to arga,nize all the branches of work or play, but to discover, enlist and develop leaders in these; varioue lines. In the discussion that followed, Rev. W. G. Howson said that if a census of his congregation was taken, the men attending Church and Sunday School would be much larger than the dia- grams showed. In thirty-five years, he had never been in a place where the young men Were doing :inch a noble work. Mr. A. F. johns of Auburn was elected Conventicin Secretary. Reports were then called for.

This was followed by au address by Mr. Statten, of Toronto, on "Boys' Work".

The next address was by Mr. C. M. Copeland, Provincial Secretary for Ontario and. Gettebec. His subject was — "The Y. M. 0, As at work in, the Church." He discussed the question in an eble and effective manner. Tuesday afternoon session was giv- en up to an "Open Parliament" presid- ed over by Mr. Cullens, of London; Provincial Secretary of County Work, and a number of practical questions were submitted and ansWers or ex- planations elicited. The Convention Was a successful effort and the number of delegates present, the interest, ma,nifested in the work, and the excellent addresses, will give mach Inepliestion to the work in this county. There is a, wide field for Y. M. 0. A. activity and it will yield ample fruitage if properly tilled. Httrort tounty la the fleet county selected for this class of work, and the seceess attained so far, emote well for further sueeesses, and the gsnetal adoption of County Wok thtougliont Canada. We than be disappointed if Huron county falls to natesuth op to its opportunities and responeibilities.

Seats In Legislature. The plan of seats in Ontario Legisla- ture has been published, and we are pleased to note that Mr. Musgrove, North Huron's able representative is given a seat well to the front, heing placed in the second row on the Gov- ernment side. In this same row are seated Hon. A. Beck, Hon. Prank Cochrane, Hon. J. S. Bendel°, Bon. J. S. Duff, R. sR. Gasney, H. Eilbees Hugh Clark, J. P. Downey and others. The Government supporters are so numerous, that they overflow one side, and seats are provided for them on the opposition side, where :lit A. G. ISIcKa,y and his small cont'ngent of eighteen simporters. Eighty-six Government supporters against nine- teen opposition is rather am uneven divisiou, but the people did it with their little pieces of paper called bal- lots. North Huron electers will be pleased to note that their representaa tive's ability is already recognized in his helog awarded a prominent seat. if Mr. Stodholme of Hamilton votes with the Opposition, they will be able to muster twenty votes against the Government's eighty-six. Sewage Disposal. Col. Sam. Hughes, M. P., of Lind. say, has planned a system of sewage purification which masehe of interest to Wingham. He describes his plan in a pamphlet. Put briefly, the ar- rangement proposed calculated auto- matically to separate the solids front the liquids, the latter being purified by the uee of chlorine gas, which is olainted to be the most ratifying agent known. The apparatus, he gays, venuld require only one man to oper- ate it Inc the entire city Of Toronto; the cost of irestellation Would be a comparative trifle, and & spade of 50x100 feet along the sewer vented be an 41110.8 area for the gas product* in Toronto. The solids could he used as a fertilizer and the cost be tilts fur - thee reduced. The treated sewage containing the chlorine would, 001. Hughes Claims, gradually purify the marshes and foul spots along the To- ronto water front and Ashbridge's bay. Everything objectionable in the sower would be destroyed. It is esti- Mated that the cost of treating eew. age with ehioriee (in the form of bleaching powder) at the rate of five parts to a monitor( parts towage would be $1 08 per Million galione of sewage. it this system eould work euch won- ders in Torohto, it Would be A simple and inexperieive Way ot solving & very Serious peohlena for Vinghatu.
