At no other seasou of the year does
the town present so dingy au appearance
as in early spring Indere dame nature
has donned her new spring mantle and
the Iawns and backyards have shed their
Winter coats. Jost now the leaden skies
fend dripping rains and the ankle-deep
mud seem conspiring to make things as
dismal and depressing as possible, and to
a casual visitor the town might seem to
be in the last stagea of decay. We do
not expect any neighbor to wander about
like a wet hen try iug to uncover the re-
enains of Ines year's vegetation. Bat
the rains anend will pass and after
we have renewed our acquaintance with
the Sun it will be iu order to bitch our-
selves to the end of a long rake handle
and to scrape the surface off the buck
yard,
Certainly much may be done to im-
prove the appearance of the town and it
is very desirable that our people should
realize how lunch may be added to the
beauty of their homes by a little atten-
tion and care bestowed on lawn, sbade
trees and garden. In some of our neigh-
bor towns the local agricultural society
has taken the matter up with results
that are highly gratifying. A succession
of well kept lawns. tastily arranged
flower beds and beautiful climbing vines
• give a pleasing impressiou to visitors
that is worth much to the town besides
the pleasure and satisfaction they bring
to the owners
TREE PRODUCTION
Nothing illustrates the folly of most of
our wisdom than the relation of Cana-
dians to Canada's trees. For years the
people of Ontario and other Eastern Pro- DO NOT KILL THE ROBIN.
vinoes have been dreadfully busy cut-
ting down the bush, sometimes turning There are persons in every community
mit into timber or lumber, sometimes into
ashes. Now, they are coming to realize
that the wholesale destruction of bush
is a most foolish and nefarious business,
and trees like fruit should be picked
only when ripe, that bnshlaud may be
as profitable as wheat laud, or grazing
land.
The other day the Minister of Agricul-
ture for Ontario arose in his place in the
Legislature and informed the members
of that body that some of the land which
bad been cleared would be producing
greater profits if that labour had not
been bestowed npou it. The thing to do
under the circemstancos is to reforest
those lands which are not suitable for
the production of grain or grass. A
small area has bean set apart at the Ag-
ricultural College Farm, where youug
trees suitable for planting on these lands
will be grown. In another three years
e. distributiou of these young trees will
commence, so that those who desire to
reforest will be able to do so. Then Ont-
ario will once more become the home of
the maple, the elm, the basswood, the
hemlock and the cedar. But the des-
truction caused in a generation cannot
be offset within a century. This is the
sad view of it.
WEALTH OF OUR FARMS.
In arecent address before thel, Cana-
dian Club in Toronto, Hon. Sydney Fish-
er, Miuister of Agriculture, spoke onthe
position and prospects of the agnooltur-
al interest in Canasta. In his introdgc-
tory remarks he referred to the advan-
tage); Canada enjoyed in that respect.
Canadians, he said, lived in the norther=
part of the temperate zone.uuder condi-
tions which produced the lughest type
and character of men and women. It
was the saute in Europe, where the nor-
thern nations were, the strougest and
most vigorous, What was true of the
huutan race was also true of the animal.
The climate, soil and local environment
of Canada enabled the highest quality of
domestic auitnals to be raised. This had
bean helped by careful breeding from
pure stock and now Canada was export.
iug largely ti's South America, Mexico
and the West Indies.
Cauadiau animals were superior to all
others in the way of live stock, and
that industry was the foundation of her
agricultural prosperity. He felt assured
chat what was tree of Outario to -day
would also become true of the great
west, and he believed the Northwest
would iu the future b seen maiutain-
ing vast quantities live stock. It

it
the progress
of agriculture iu Cau a, was to prose-
cute the live stack industry to its highest
possible developtiieut.
What are we doipg in the way of
organizatiou and development? The
Department of Agriculture had beeu
working in the same line for along time,
expeudiug more money and giving all
matters more attention. Farmers were
wanting more and more, and the Govern-
meut were responding to the demand.
Canada was the most highly organized
country, ngricultarally, iu the world
with one exception. Denmark stood
first, Canada had nothing to fear from
the United States. They could bear
their great neighbors in every line, who,
boastful as they were; had to rake the
second place all the time. Bat Denmark
beat Canada in organization, education,
and co-operation of the Government
with the producers.
At the recent meeting of the Canadian
Forestry Association in Toronto. Mr.
ably de Lotbiniere, of'Quobec, told how
for seventy years his family had been de-
rivinga large cash iucome from a bush -
land estate. This was accomplished by
taking care that ripe trees only were sel-
ected for cutting, and that no damage
was done to the young and growing
trees. Cultivated in this way, the an- i
nnalprodnot had steadily grown in valve,
and yet the timber on the estate was al-
most as great in quantity as it was when
the process of cutting was first toms

Spring is the eeasen when your sys-

must have new blood just as the trees
roust have new sap, Notgre demands
it. Without new blood you. wilt feel
weary, weak and languid. With new,

happy and healthy, The one sure way
to get new blood and fresh energy is to
take Dr. Williams Pink Pills. They
actually snake new blood, They aro
the greatest spring] tonic in the world.
Mr, J, J, 3lalette, o well known grocer
in Montreal; says,: -"I wish to thank
you for the great ,good your Dr. Wil-

system was very much run down, and
your Deis have made a new man of me.
As I am in business, costing into contact
with many people, I am often able to
recommend the pills, and they have al-
ready relieved a dozen of my friends who
suffered as I did."

Coins that Annoy.
Front the Toronto Star.
When is the lawfail coin not legal ten-
der? This 1s a question that off and on
worries everybody, an no body seems to
have an auswer ready. Here are n
couple of cases in point: -
The other daya busy citizeu entered a
restaurant at the oven hour and indulged
in a modest 20 cent lunch. Coming out
he handed his check and a 20 cent piece
to the cashier. "TTIat's a 20 cent piece,"
said the olerk. "Yves," said the citizen,
composedly buttoning up his overcoat.
He was informed that it was against the
rules to accept 20' cent pieces. The
citizen dug down in his pocket for the
necessary change. Half an hour later
the 20 cent piece was accepted in an-
other store without demur.
The other case: -A lady came down
shoppiug last Saturday, and with no
silver in her purse entered a big store.
At one counter she rr ade some purshases,
tendering $5 bill. At another counter
she made some purchases, tendering in
payment of the silver she received in the
who are thoughtless and cruel enough to same store five minutes before. The
take pleasure out of killing the robin, clerk refused to take one of the coins be -
There is no more welcome visitor than
this bird with its rusty red breast, who
is looked upon, as James Russell Lowell
says, as the " first authentic notification
of spring." His only vice is his fondness
for cherries, but, as Lowell says, this
propensity of the robin is looked upon
as a vice only by people who do not valve
themselves the less for being fond of
cherries.
There is a quaint legend which pur-
ports to account for the robin's red
breast as follows : " The robin was first
a magpie and gray in color and unpre-
possessing in appearance. but with a
most sympathetic nature. He approach-
ed the Cross of Calvary at the time of
the Crucifixion, timidly uttering cries of
grief. With his wings he tried to wipe
the blood off the face of Jesus, and with
his beak he tried to draw forth one of
the thorns from the forehead. A single
drop of blood fell on his breast, and
from then until now he bas been called
"red breast." "He is the bird of God,
the herald of the glad tidings of spring."
Fruit growers have long labored under
the mistaken idea that the robin is one
of their worst enemies. Lowell, who
has perhaps written the most entertain-
ingly on the robin, states that if he is
a great eater he is also a great planter,
and that much of the widely scattered
wild fruit owes its existence to this
feathered husbandman. The Michigan
floricultural Society has started a cam-
paign for the destruction of robins as
pests. But he is not such a "pest" as is
sometimes imagined. He lives chiefly
on a meat diet of grubs and insects,
which are the eery bane of the fruit
grower's life, and if he occasionally par-
takes of the ripened fruit it is only es a
dessert.

(Bystander, in Toronto Sun.)
It can hardly be necessary to preach
another sermon against gambling, of
which the immediate fruit i.e moral
wreck, the end rain and often =icicle.
It used to be said that at Monte Carlo
they gave the victim his railway ticket
that he Might not commit suicide on the
spot. But gambling is the exeese of le
love of games of chance and of betting
eo immemorally universal that it may
almost be reckoned a part of human
nature. How cats the law Crash betting
on horses at Woodbine? Is not Bridge

fashionable society in England? 1s not

cane the face was robbed smooth by
frequeut passing. The shopper ex-
plaine4 that she got the coin iu the same
, store, but this made no difference, and
another bad to be substituted.
These are petty annoyances, but they
crop up constantly. If the 20 cent
i piece is not legal tender, it ought to be
i called in. If coins worn smooth by fre-
quent passing are trot legal tender, they
ought to be called in. If they are legal
tender, why shonld anybody reface to
accept them?
The 20 cent piece is ever and always a
nuisance. So is the $4 bill, which so
mach resembles a one. They should be
withdrawn from circulation.
NOTES AND COMMENTS. .
"Fair play is bonnie play," and The
Toronto News ought to bear that in
mind. Its bitter hostility to Hon. Mr.'
Ross leads it editorially to say that the
Soo pay lists were padded to take ad-
vantages of the Goverument guarantee •
of payment of the wages, while its news!
columns make it amply clear that there!
is not a word of truth in the charge. In
pursuance of its campaign of persecution @
and misrepresentation of Mr. Ross and I
his colleagues, it is forfeiting the respect ;
of a fair minded public. -Hamilton '
Times.
The Gazette speaks of the "spectacle
of the Ross Government keeping the
Legislature sitting all night that it
might preserve its majority of three in
tact" as "pitiable." Of course it would
have been much more to the liking of
Mr. Whitney and his followers if the
Government had succumbed with lamb -
like submission before the thunderous
denunciations of the Opposition. Bat
everybody does not take Mr. Whitney as
seriously as he does himself. There is,
indeed, n: striking analogy between this
latest effort of Mr. Whitney to impress
the public with a see= of fie greatness,
and this fable of the frog which in its
efforts to assume the proportions and
importance of the or, puffed itself up
until is burst. --Montreal Herald.

A BREAK FOR FREEDOM.
Defying the London 'uflep, •'Trzn." per -
d.11, florgittr send caw pattioa or
store lrvyle, Again at moiety.
London, April 6. -The desperado,,
harry Burden, alias "Texas," the
companion of Steve Doyle, the burg-
lar killed by the local police several
weeks ago, made a daring escape
from jail yesterday morning, In
spite of the frantic search conduct-
ed ley taro authorities the burglar in
still at liberty. As he is known to
have friends in this section fear is ex-
pressed that his e:ussture will not be
effected except at the cost of the lite
of some of the officers. I3urden is a
"bad." man, a. "gun fighter," like
his "pal," wbo faced the police with
two revolvers and prepared to do
battle before he was shot,
The escape of the prisoner is an-
other of the many astonishing evi-
dences of the resourcefulness of the
young crooks who menace this sec, -
tion of Canada, which have been
exhibited lately to the chagrin of the
authorities. Ile was to have been
tried at the Assizes now opening for
burglary, and was suspected of
having, together with Doyle, shot
and murdered the Hamilton police-
man, who suet death so mysterious-
ly recently. Therefore the incentive
for the desperate escape was strong
as a long sentence was inevitable.
Once before, since his latest in-
carceration, the daring burglar came
within an nee of making his escape.
He got out by snatching the keys
from Turnkey Poole, and, notwith-
standing a long chase by the police,
he is still at liberty.

Independent Democrat and one So-
cialist. The next Council will have
36 Republicans, 81 Democrats, two
Independents, one of whom is a
Democrat end the other a Republi-
can, and one Socialist.

railways. Dy a vote of 152,434 to
80,104 the city voted to accept the
Mueller Act, providing that cities
construct, own, operate and lease
street railways.

the city is prepared to take them
over, the vote was 120,181 for, and

Toronto, April 6. -Operators to
the number of forty-four employed
by the G. N W. Telegraph Com-
pany "walked" out yesterday, hav-
ing been refused the request for the
reinstatement of the five operators
who received notices of dismissal,
and for recognition of the union.
That the fight is to last for some
time would seem probable, from the.
preparations both sides are making.
