Dir, J A, Macdonald's Speech at
Edinburgh Luncheon,
Lord. Rosebery Indulges lb the
Gaelic Tongue,
The Imperial press delegates ended,
their itinerary ae tie inburgh, Scotland,
where they spent an interesting time
Visiting the many historic sceens there.
At the luncheon tendered them by the
Lord Provost and Corporation, many
fine speec:laee were made, That of Dr.
J. A, Meedonald, of the Toronto
was a splendid effort, Ile said:
"lo words of his, le the few ntomeuts
they had at their disposal, would convey
their sense of appreciation.—at least no
words in, the tongue understood by the
most of the members there. if one
might speak in the original language, if
one mingt convey a sense of affection,
regard and respect that would be under
stood by some of the elect left in l.''tTin-
burgh. (Laughter and applause.) But
in elle =tenet of the men for whom he
spoke, he would onlytuse the Saesenach
tongue. They wished!to thank them fur
receiving them, there. It was no ae. idene
or. chance, but by the foreordination of
things, that those who arranged the
programme arranged, that this tour
should end in this ancient city, the cap-
ital of the unconquered people of scot-
land. (Applause.) All matters in their
programme were foreordained; and by
the eternal fitness of things they were
there that day, and they would close the
tour with memories of Scotland and Ed.-
iuhurgh: the city to which they had
been all looning forward, those of them
from over the seas with something Scot-
tish in them yet—(applause)--and as for
those who had not, it would put some
into them, (Laughter and applause.) On
country they were welcomed by the ora-
tor • of the Empire, Lord Rosebery, a
Scotsman. (Applause,) Time would fail
him to tell what was in the hearts of
the men from overseas, and in the
hearts of the women too; for of all spots
111',.• they wantsd to see this was the one.
(Applause.). It had spoken to them not
only through the navy and army—they
had heard much of the navy and army
in these last two or three weeks—but
that day in the Cathedral and in the
streets they had been reminded what
Scotland and Edinburgh had done for
the liberty of the world and the strength
of the overseas dominion. (Applause.)
From Edinburgh the word had come, not
of war always, but of peace and liberty.
(Applause.)
THE AVERAGE MAN.
Scotland through her peace as well as
her wars had stood for the rights of
the average man against the privcteges
and powers of those who ruled them. So
they, inheriting tht idea, sons of the
crowd, had gone overseas; and they
stood, every man of them and every
journal they controlled, for the rights
of the common man against the power
of organization, even against the crowd
itself. Their ancestors sometimes fought
against -the King. They, in the crowd,
sometimes fought against the crowd;
for they of the democracy over the seas
knew full well there never was a King,
a Czar, a Sultan more oppressive, more
relentless, than a crowd in a democracy
could be. They thanked them for receiv-
ing them back, es being worthy sons, to
the old home. (Applause.) They had
told them in England and elses 4 ere of
their great lands, of the Ganges, tee St.
Lawrence, and all the rest of them.
They had told them of plains ani moun-
tains, of streets compared weer which
that along they had come was na:rsw.
But they had no mountains wise a his-
tory like the bill before them, no • strec is
so paved with passion and tragedy and
reminiscences and poetry and .heroism.
(Applaause.) They needed more men from
that city; and lie wished to tell there
that beyond the seas they hada land
where the common man had a chance,
where they desired to build a democracy
free from some -of the things that clung.
to them in the old land, that th my had
not yet shaken off. They wished to 'in-
vite them, all of them, and their chil-
dren and friends, to come to their great
f lend, to Australia., New Zealand, !nal,'L Canada, and they would give them a
chance, as the aborigines gave a chance
to themselves, They would mid with
no question at all about the fide ity..of
"the sons of Se-rtland and their loyalty
to the Empire. (Applause.)
A GAELIC BATTLE -CRY. `'
Lord Rosebery charged them, who re-
presented the overseas dominions, that
they must stand shoulder to shoulder.
The Sassenaeh who heard him did not
understand the full meaning of that
charge; but there were here enough of
the elect to know what it meant. It
meant more than shoulder to shoulder.
The Sassenaehs or the Frenchmen or the
common folk from anywhere could stani
shoulder to shoulder if there were
enough of them. The Gael understood
the charge to mean, 'shoulders together.'

part of the Empire stool shoulders to-

true in the Empire, and so standing they

CANOE CAPERS. '
What One Skillful and Powerful Swim-
mer Has Been Able to Do.
Water sports, during the pat few
years, have come to be among the chief
"events" on the holiday programmes of
many seaside and yacht clubs. Some of
these sports call for no small amount of
Skill and strength,
The "tilting" on canoes is familiar to
most young folk; but I want to tell you
or some novel "stunts" done by a clever
member of a, lakeside club, a trained
canoeist and expert swimmer. As every
boy knows, or ought to know, no one,
young or old, :Inas any business in a canoe
who is not a skillful and powerful swim-
mer, and quite able to take care of him-
self in the water under any and all cir-
cumstances.
Moreover, no canoe tricks should ever
be attempted by any one, except in com-
paratively shallow water, not far from
shore; and even then there should be
companions close at hand, in a boat,
ready and alert to give immediate aid in
any emergency.
The canoeist began his tricks by fall-
ing oat of the canoe sidewise, overturn-
ing the canoe with him. This was easy
enough, or seemed so, although the
knack of falling out of a canoe so that
the craft tilts after you, instead of cap-
sizing in clumsy fashion, is only acquired
by practice. Next the young men climb-
ed back into the canoe, after getting it
on an even keel. This was not so easy.
It required some skill, a lot of agility
and a practical acquaintance with the
eccentricities of a boat of the lightness
and delicacy of build of a. canoe. It was
nut difficult to capsize the boat again in
climbing back. If this was done too
many times the performer was not un-
likely to becom exhausted. For this rea-
son he was careful not to go too far
from the banks when attempting his
aquatic practice, for it might have been
necessary to swim ashore, towing the
canoe, to rest for a twine before making
another attempt. When the difficult
knack of righting the canoe, climbing
back again, and falling overboard once
more had been thoroughly acquired and
the wobbly tendencies of the little craft
had,been overcome, then 'the real feat
was attempted.
The feat was to take a back flip from
the side of 'the canoe, holding the hands
on one side of the boat and balancing
with the feet on the other. As the canoe-
ist went over backward into the water
he still retained his firm hold on the side
of the boat with his hands and kept his
feet firmly planted in the original posi-
tIon.
In this way he went into ,the water
with the canoe turning with him. At
first it was found essential to comfort
to release the hold on the canoe as the
water closed over the canoeist. It was
sufficient for a time to turn the canoe
completely over until it was resting on
the water immediately over the head of
the performer. When this lesson had
been learned, then a step further was at
tempted. The object to be ultimately
gained was to keep the boat turning,
emptying it of water during the process,
until it had turned completely over again
to its original position. It will be seen
at once that this feat was not an easy
one.
The impetus of the first backward fall
went far toward carrying the boat into
the position where it could be righted.
But the performer had to be skillful and
quick if every advantage was to be
taken of the initial start in the direc-
tion desired. When the canoeist dame
is the surface again he was still cling-
ing to the side of the boat, pulling that
aide toward him and kicking the other
side toward the place it would assume
when the canoe was once more in its
right position in the water. As the
canoeist came up he gave the boat a
twist with his shoulder that emptied
the water from it, and then he turned it
Oil its side with a, dexterous twirl that
dropped it right side up, ready for occu-
pancy once more. It was very skilfully
done.—H. D. Jones in August St. 'Mich-

In his left hand he carries a double or

There are many varieties cif these fur-
things, of 'widely different weights but
of ne'ar'ly uniform, size and with both
plain pad reeded edges, The silver pieces
are very ir; egular in their weight,
which ranges from ninety-eight to 176
grains, but alit are about the size of an
old fashioned copper cent. Me coins
struck in copper are more uniform,
averaging about nis"ety-enght grains.
The coin is supposed to have had its
origin In Ireland in the reign of Oharles
I. and it has been the subject of much
discussion. One theory is that tlhe coin
was devised by the Catholics when they
rebelled in Ireland, another that it was
mhidtted for the Confederate Assembly
and a t8hird that the coin was issued in
Dublin some time between the Reetoaa-
tion (1660) and 1080 as a private token.
Wha'bever their origin these pieces circu-
lated in this country and constituted
the first coper circulating medium regu-
larly autih+orimed for use in any of the
American Colonies.
A party of drnmigreuuts from Dublin,
among whom were Mark Newby (or
Newbie) and his family, arrived in the
Colony of New Jersey on November 19,
1681. Newby brought with him a. queen-
tity of the St. Patrick's half pence, as
they were teamed in.I land. At this
period fractional cunrearcy were exceed-
ingly scarce thi 'the Colony and on May
8, 1682, the New Jersey authonities pass-
ed an act "for the more convenient pay-
ment of email. sums," which provided
"newt Mark Newbie's half pence, called
Patrick's half pence, sial from and after
the said 18th instant pass for half pence
current pay of this province, provided
lie, the said Mark, his executors and ad-
ministrators, eihull and will change the
said half pence for pay equivalent upon
demand; and provided also that no per-
son or persons be hereby obliged to take
more than five shillings in one pay-
ment" The full 'text is found In the
Grants, Concessions and Original Oon-
etitutions of the Province of New Jer-
'sey;'
Newby settled with his party at El-
singburg, Salem County, N. J. and it is
recorded that "immediatelytihere was a
meeting set up and kept at the house
of Mark Newbie and in a short time it
grew and increased." Newby soon be-
came prominent in the affairs of the
colony, and in 1682 was one of the rep-
resentatives in the General Assembly,
which met at Burlington. In the fol-
lowing year he became a aneniber of the
Governor's. council.
It de not known ho}v many of the
coins were brought oder by him, but the
quantity is supposed to have been large.
Indeed he is thought to have mannu-
Ifactured additional coins of similar
design in this eountry, No repeal of the
act making the St. Patrick's 'half pence
current appears on the New Jersey re-
cords.
There were also St. Patrick's half
pence of large size, some of them a third
larger 'than Hoose described. The larger
pieces were struck in copper and weigh-
ed on an average 144 grains. The ob-
vahise design is similar to that of the
farthings, but the reverse is entirely dila
fereat. -
It allowed St. Patrick with a trefoil_
in his right hand, a crozier in Itis lett,
surrounded by a crowd of people. On
the left side is a shield with three cas-
tles. The insorlaption is "Ecce Grex."
These coins. also occur with plain and
needed edges. The larger coins were call-
ed half pommies, while •the smaller were
'termed farthings.
The coins must have passed current
for many years rafter they were first
made, both in Ireland and in this coun-
try. New Jersey was forced to resort
to ell kinds of copper pieces to supply
the need of email currency up to the
time the State began the mintage of
coins bearing • ire own stamp In 1786.
The coins must have been used in Ire -4
land long after 1680, for Swift in the

The 'Ladder' consistsof thirty-seven steps.
More are some of them:
To take thy calling thankfully.
To shun the path orbeggary,
To grudge in youth no drudgery.
To come to acknowledge perfectly.
To count no travel slavery.
That brings In penny Beverly.
To follow profit earnestly.
But meddle not with pilfreey.
To get by honest practlsy.
And keep thy gettings covertly.
To lash not out lashingly.
For fear of pinching penury.
To furnish house with householfry.•
And 'make provision skilfully.
To suffer none live idely
For fear of idle knavery.
To keep no more but needfully,
And count excess unsavory.
To meddle not with usury,
Nor lend 'thy money foolishly.
To learn to shun ill company,
And such as -live dishonestly.
TO pray to God continually
For aid against thine enemy.
To spend thy Sabbath holily,
And help the needy poverty.
To live in conscience quietly,
And keep thyself from malady.

To climb to thrift by husbandry.
To keep no more than needfully,
And count excess unsavory.

Imprisonment for Debt.'
Imprisonment for debt was nomin-
ally abolished in England many years
ago, but, paradoxically; the actual
number of cases of imprisonment
have since annually increased—faster
than the population.
Much more judicial option is pos-
sible than formerly was the case, and
is exercised under the existing law.
A debtor against whom judgment is
rendered may be summarily required
to pay before a given date on pen-
alty of. imprisonment. This power of
committal resides in the judge of the
court. Some judges exercise it much
more freely than others. In Notting-
ham county imprisonment for debt is
rare. In other populous court dis-
tricts with much court business the
cases of imprisonment do not exceed
fifty a year, while in some less popu-
lous districts with less court business
the number reaches five hundred a
year. But it would seem that on the
whole the indulgence shown to de-
linquent debtors is steadily decreas-
ing, for the eases of imprisonment in
the country have decennially in-
creased as follows under the existing
law In 1876, 4,228; 1886, 5,486; 1896,
8,199; 1906, 11,986.
Technically the imprisonment is for
contempt of court.

"What beautiful cows." Tire tb right.
ful student asks "what yield of milk
and fat do they give?" The practical
man enquires "what does their milk
cost?" And the hard business sense
of the dairyman leads him to deter-
mine cost of production of milk and
fat through the mediem of cow test-
ing associations.' The high grade
may give but poor weight- of milk,
the pure bred may test low, while the
common grade may possibly •be pro-
ducing milk at the lowest cost, No
one knows definitely just what the
cost is until some record is' kept;;.
milk may cost 92 cents per 100 lbs.,
fat 25 cents per lb.; these cosy prices
may be up to $2.00 per 100 lbs. milk
and 50 cents per pound of J. with
some poor cows, or they be reduced
by good economical feeders to 35
cents per 100, and 10 cents per lb.
This all goes to prove that the
careful dairyman, and particularly
the average and possibly Carel-Rs far-
mer should take immediate steps to
find out what profit each cow cringe
in. Enormous improvement and
largely increased profits have been
made by the men who are sufficient-
ly alive to their own interests to
weigh and sample each cow's milk
regularly and keep a record of feed
consumed. Blank forms for milk and
feed records are. supplied free on ap-
plication to the Dairy Cmmissioner,
Ottawa. A good record for this month
from a herd of 18 cows is an average
of 1,020 lb. milk, 3.9 test. 39 lbs. fat.
One grade in the herd gave 1,530 lbs.

LOSSES IN BEE -KEEPING.
There are several sources of great loss
to beekeepers which might be eliminated
to a large extent by careful manipula—
tion, but there is much work which
must be done before bee -keepers arc
able to overcome al these difficulties,
writes E. F. Phillips, of the U. S. Ap!-
culture Department. Certain losses
are expected regularly, and, while some
do their utmost to overcome them, and
annual loss must figure in their calculate
tions.
The average bee -keeper loses many of
rho swarms which issue from. the ,hives,
and these escaping swarms may well
be valued at a high figure. By care-
ful manipulation and the use of large
hives swarming may be largely controll-
ed, but among the majority of beekeep-
ers too little attention is given to this
phase of the work, and nothing is done
until the swarm actually issues. In
the, production of comb honey smaller
hivs are generally used, and the con-
trol of swarming becomes more difficult,
It is doubtless true that swarms ag e•
gating lit value $1,000,000 are lost ever'•y
year. This loss may be considerably
reduced.
The greatest obstacle in the control
of swarming is the Tact that the ac-
tivities bringing on swarming are se
little understood. This phenomenon re.
presents the bee's natural method of
increasing the number of eolonic.s, and
it may be attributed to instinct, This,
however, theta not explain what factors
induce the bees to swarm or want their
activities are previews to seeming.
When the belhaviour of the bees before
and after swarming is better under-
stood, we may have greater hope of a
method of control.
The losses in winter are oonsidcrable,
due largely to starvation, dampness, too
long a time without a cleansing flight,
or extreme cold weather. itv winter -
in' bees in tellersin the north this
loss racy be considerably reduced, but
while much has' been written en this
subject, the general loss to northern
bec•koc!trerCC is probably at least 10 per
cent. every wither. An even tempera-
ture of about 45 deg, V, and a dry
atmosphere are considered heat, and
the best method of obtaining these eon.

l,ee•keepers d r n.t pay any attention to
the select:c;l t f t:i it boat st melt f.'
breeding purposes, the loss of 10 per
cent, or more of their colonies in winter
must not be looked upon as a total loss,
for generally the poorest colonies, suc-
cumb.
"Winter loss" is in many cases caused
by disease, which so weakens the col-
ony • during the summer that it is not
able to survive the winter, In such
case the bee -keeper is usually ignor-
ant oifdisease.
No other manipulation of the apiary
is so primitive as wax extraction, and
nowhere is there more room for im-
provement. As every bee -keeper knows,
it is difficult to remove wax from the
comb, particularly in the ease of old
combs which have been used for brood.
reaming for years. The amount of wax
wasted every year by inadequate meth-
ods of extraction amounts to thousands
of dollars annually. In most cases over
10 per cent. of the wax remains in the
"slumgunt" and even by careful work 5
per cent, is left. By repeated rendering
the amount may be reduced, but the
time necessary for this usually makes it
unprofitable,
With the advent of the movable -frame
hive and honey extractor it became or-
thodox to continue the use of combs
yema after year. The invention of
methods making this possible was of
each greet benefits to vire epicultural
industry that it may almost .be said that
Without it there would be no industry,
At the same time it may be that bee-
keepers have formed the habit of using
their combs in this way, and in conse-
quence are losing wax. It 'must not be
overlooked that it is part of the life ac-
tivity of bees to build wax, and in work-
ing bees to get the maximum financial
return from them it may be desirable tp
allow them to spend some energy on
,wax production. For example, Immedi-
ately after swarming, under naturalconditions, beta secrete a large amount
of wax; they also, of course, build wax
et other times, but'there is nutter more
of a tendency then than et any other
period of their inactivity, There is good
reason to believe, also, that at the time

ed in building a pound of wax in less
than at any ether time. With wax
worth so much more per pound 'than
honey, it would seem to be de irmble in

Wax -building ability of bees.
In rendering wax front combs the us-
ual procedure as to squeeze the combs
In a press while hot. With but few
exceptions, this is the only method used.
Since this takes too long, and especially
since all the wax cannot possibly be
removed, it would be wise •to look for
some other method. A better method
would not only mean greater profits,
but would be a. gigantic seep lit advance
in bee -disease eradication.
The loss due to inadequate extraction
does not, of course, include the error -
moue loss from wax which is thrown
away or which is allowed to oe destroy-
ed by wax moths for lack of fumiga-
tion.
That 'Miere is room for growth in the
beekeeping industry admits of no
doubt. The fact that 'honey for table
use is at luxury rather 'than a necessity
reeked possible a great increase in mar-
keting by the creation of a desire for it.
This ,is recognized by atlhose who are en-
gaged in the building of a local market
for their product, for it is found that
the 'amount of honey consumed In a
community increases rapidly when
honey, is brought to its attention.
A large part of the honey put on the
general market does not go into retail
trade, but ds need. in manufacturing.
This phase of the market ns of relative-
ly recent growth, and, in spite of the
fact that most bakers and confectioners
pay a, email price for honey, there is in
this casae oleo room for more. Several
eonfeetlaners have stated to the author'
that they find it difficult to get enough
honey in tire general market for .their
own rise.

When the kid went to Sunday school
at a time of /ear when there were no
presents being given away and told the
teacher he wanted to join the class she
felt highly elated. The kid's reform,
however, seemed too aquiescent to be
lasting. When she paid an unexpected
weekday visit to hints she found him
smoking a cigarette.
"Oil, I am so sorry," she said: "How
.do you ever expect to go to heaven if
you insist on smoking?"
!'.What's that got todo with it?" he
questioned.
"Why, nothing unclean—and your
breath is unclean—can enter the gates
of heaven."
"Oh," he replied, "I ain't goin, to let
that trouble rue. You see, when I die
I'm goin' to leave my breath behind!"
The rain, which had come suddenly
and unexpectedly, was falling in tor-
rents.
Among the persons who had taken
shelter under a friendly Madison street
awning was a fashionably dressed
woman.
"I beg your pardon madam," said a
plainly attired man, considerably past
middle age, stepping up to her and lift-
ing his hat, "but I want to offer you
arty sincere thanks."
"What do you mean, sir?" she said.
"Thanks for what?"
"I never expected to see it again," he
went on, with tears in his eyes. "It has
been nearly thirty years since--"
"Since what, sir? What are you
talking about?"
"Pardon my emotion, madam; but I
used to live in Salt Lake City and"
"I have nothing to do with Salt Lake
City, sir. I never was there in my
life."
"But I was, That was my home for
many years. Anil when I saw—"
"When you saw what?"
"That hat of yours, madam. It
brought back the old thrill. It's an
exact reproduction of the great Mormon
Tabernacle, which my eyes have been
aching -through all the weary years to
see once more before I die. My longing
has been satisfied at last, and I thank
you from the bottom of a grateful
heart!"
Again lifting his ,rat, he stepped fol'th
into the pouring rain and strode rapidly
down the street, wiping his eyes as he
walked. --Chicago Tribune.

"Harold," said the young woman, re-

would marry any Ilan without asking
him how he stood on the great question
of woman suffrage. You will have to
tell me how you stand."
"I'm opposed to it, Bella," bluntly
answered the young man.
"Well—er—that's all I promised mam-
ma; I didn't bind myself to refuse any
good man just because he—now, Harold,
you stop that!"

The Care of Awnings.
"Your awnings," said the awning
man, "would last longer and look bet-
ter if you'd dry 'em out when they got
wet.
"Some folks will leave their awnings
down to sciek and drip all through a
heavy rain. I never could understand
why people do that; of course it doesn't
do an awning any more good than it
would any other fabric to soak it in
that way, and then drip may tall on the
awning from the roof and flying soot
may lodge on it, and so if you keep your
awnings down in the rain the first thing
you know they are faded, discolored and
dingy.
"If you want to preserve your awnings
you want to haul them tip when it rains,
but if they get wet, why, then when
theair is right you want to lower the=
and let them dry out, and be sure they'.
re dry 'when you furl 'em before you go
away in the summer." --New York Sun.

In Germany great interest is taken
in now electric lamps. The tantalum fil-
ament lamp is said to be the latest fav-
orite. It is cheaper, but not quite so
economical to rim as the tungsten lamp.
The ordinary carbon filament lamp of
5 to 32 -candle power costs in Germany
12c; the tungsten lamp, 75 cents; the
tantalum lamp, 62o. The respective
ratios of ecurrent consumption are:
Carbon 3.05 watts per candle power;
tungsten, 1.16 watts; tantalum, 1.50
watts. Tho tungsten lamp is vastly more
economical of current, but the filament
is very fragile. The tantalum filament
is said to stand rough usage.
