ENGLISH HISTORY IN VERSE,
(From the Scottish American,)
About forty years ago Mr, Thomas
Chisholm, Wingham, Out., put the his-
tory of England into verse, in the form. of
dramatic ditilogues, and in which a free

THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 190e, i by the Germans. Though never printed
until now Dr. Chishulm'ii dialogues were
i used for fiteen years. in High and Pablie
Sehoolxs iu Ontario where they were
simply dictated to the pupils. After
!spending the greater part of a lifetime in
the practice of mediciue Dr. Chisholm
I has been induced to publish his dialogues
in the hope that they will still prove use-
. fol to pupils. Their ohjaet, he says, is
"to famish the reader or student with a
se stem of memory pegs, npou which a
mass of historical,iuformttiou gradually
may be accumulated front a properly
directed course of wider study." Ap-
pended to the finely got up little book of
abont 70 octavo p.t;;es (pablished by
William Briggs, Toronto, Out.,) are 100
lines iu ryhme, iu which are linked to-
gether iu one lung chain the more inn -
portant facts in English history. These
lines should be thoronlehly committed to
memory by the students. Iu the dialog-
ues, again, a more extended and contin-
nous narrative is given. As a saiupie we

NOTES AND (.:OMMENTS,
Mr. H. B. Cawatt, Snp,;rin:eu:leut of
Agricultural Societies, reports that, al.
though there is this year a smell in-
crease in the San Jose sealo iu the fruit
districts, the prospects of controlling
the pest are bright. The growers are
wide-awake to the necessity of spraying
as evinced by the fact that eleven power
sprayers are in use this year, as against
three last year. The growers are also
uniting iu the pre;ntraeion of material.
The conuuieeieu to investigate the
question of r..ilway taxstiou has beeu
appointed, :tad consists of Prof. Shortt,
of Queeu's University; K. J. Pettypiece.
M.P.P., and .To ige Bed, of Chatham.,
Prof. Shortt is an authority on econo-
mics and has graded the transportation
problem. Mr. Pettypiece is the author
of the P:,ttypieee bill, and the lealer of
the agitation for higher railway taxation.

commission is u good one, aad should

NUMBER XXVIII.
The State of M.issachusetts has spent
half a million debars lighting the gypsy
moth. New an entomologist from
Hawaii offers to introduce the natural
parasitic enemies of the moth, agreeing
to "kuook it out" in four years, at $15,•
000 a year. In California he controlle-
the San Jose scalp in chi; way. and in
California he intradueecl the fungus
parasite of the Japanese beetle with
wonderful results. For several years
roses were extinct in Hawaii on aceouut
of the ravages of the beetle. But now
the cultivation of roses goes on again.
The co=t of the present war between
Japan and Russia for the first six mouths
is estimated at nearly $330,000,003 of
which Russia has spent about $203,000,-
000. In one year of the war with Tur-
key, Russia spent $500,000,000 and with
400,000 men iu the field it is figured that
this campaign will cost Russia even more.
The problem is a very interesting one for
financiers. Then again the actual finan-
cial cost is the least part of the loss when
the many lives that are lost are taken
into consideration and the property des-
troyed in a Campaign such as Russ and
Jap are now engaged in, cannot be esti-
mated on a mosey basis.
Canada is receiving a good deal of free
advertisiug is the press of the Uuited
States these days. Tee attention which
she is receiving is certainly flattering at
any rate. The New York Sun, in par-
ticular, has something to say about us
nearly every secoud day and a good deal
of what it says is couched in generous
and appreciative terms. The Suu sees
that Canada bas a great future before it,
and that it has to be reckoned with as an
independent entity. Our trade, it con-
tinaally repeats, is eminently worth cul-
tivating and the people of the United
States should not allow it to slip throngh
their fingers. The Mou;reai Star says
that the people of Canada have always
been willing to trade with their neighbors
on anything like fair terms. There was
a time when some Canadians were a lit-
tle to anxions on the subject; so anxious
, that they were prepared to sacrifice
their commercial independence and to
jeopardize their political future for the
sake of the trade of the continent to
which we belong. That time le past
Oar neighbors cannot complain of guy
nunatural restraints of trade between
Canada and the United States, becans
the burgest obstacles are of their own
I making.

ALFRED MACDOUGALL'S TRIAL.
Judge Decides to Go oa Whether Amok,'"
Xs Well or Mute
Toronto, May 20.---A year ago last
December Alfred Macdougall was un*
tested in connection with defttica.-
tions in the 1't'oi'lncial funds, and
since then his trial has beep post-
poned from time to time in accord-
ance with the medical evidcuco of
the unfitness of Alt', Idaedougttll to
leave his bed,
On Monday the Crown had tut ex-
amination made by 1)t's, N. IL Been.:
er and 3 , M. Cotton, and tln'y agreed
that, though pltyeially weak, he wart
quite able mentally to stand Iiia
trial, and that the trial might take
place in his room under medical sup-,
ervision without clanger.
J udgc Winchester yesterday decided
to go on with the ease in two weeks
whether the accused were present or
not. Both the Crown physieiane
stated that he could not ,be moved
except on stretchers with a staff of
hospital officials in attendance. Mr,
Du%'ernet, who appeared for Mac-
dougall, protested against the pro-
posal to try his client in absence.
"Ile has a right to be tried ac-
cording to ileitis!: law, and if my
learned friend persists it forcing, the
matter, I have my remedy."
Two weeks were then arranged for
in order to give counsel time to
move for a writ of prohibition,
It is not unlikely that if the cast:
goes on the evidence will be taken ire
Macdougall's own apartments.
