Bystander (Goldwile Smith) in the Weekly Sun; -It ie surely time that the serious atteution of Government and municipalities should be turned to the subject, of immigration. The Salvation Army is pouring irowiirallts upon us by thousands. It has twenty-five hundred more coming. Pablio charity is already feeling the strain. The purpose for which the Salvation Army is organized, and which It has shown itself marvel'- curly fitted to fnllftlli is not immigra- tion, but conversion. We do the Army no wrong in seeking fo he assured that it is perfeotly fitted fbr the assumption of this new and veryrmomentous sphere of action. How are the immigrants situ- ated? To what olas! do they belong? What means are taken to ssscertain their aptitude and their paospeot of employ- ment? Do many of`'them bring lama Lies? Under what oluditions (financial or of other kinds) ore they enlisted? What money do they bring with them? The public, upon whose charity exces- sive immigration will be a burden, and in certain events, each as a bad harvest in the Northwest, may become a heavy burden, would seem to be entitled to in- formation on these points, and may call for it without any disparagement of the work of the Army in its regular and familiar sphere. From the tone of the censures one would thiuk that it was the duty of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Pabile Works to break up a meeting of the Cameral now and then with the apology: "Excuse us, gentlemen, but we really mast go and see that the con- tractor is putting enough mucilage ii. the Dement of the Laurier tower." - Montreal Argils. In former years the immigrants were among the more adventurous and am- bitious of the people of the old land. Now, however, when it is a simpler matter to come to Canada and when this country's praises are being sung far mud wide in the British Isles, we are getting a number of those who are unsuccessful at "home" ane feel that their lot will be easier in Decade -Woodstock Ex- press.

People as rule worry mostly over "the petty round or irritating concerns and duties," and are strangely indifferent as to great possible calamities. A day or two before the catastrophe which has just devastated San Francisco, ono of the newspapers of that city contained the following editorial: "How little the human race or human being profit by the lessons of history or by monitory example of any kind is apt. ly illustrated by the ease of the dwellers on the slopes of Vesuvius. To make one's home on the side of an active vol- cano is au act of the same character as to smoke a cigarette while sitting in a powder magazine, Yet many thousands of people, aware that the always smok- ing crater might belch a fiery and de- structive torrent upon them at any moment, lived gaily within the danger The Toronto Globe has come out flat- zone, built Homes and laid out vineyards, footed against the perpetuation of the married, and reared children and boded system of the bonuses to immigrants. nothing from the wisp of warning smoke The Telescope has always been against that ascended perpetually from the hot this system. Our contention is and has been that if a free grant of 160 acres of first class land is not sufficient to satisfy any intending immigrant that the coun- try would be better off without such a settler.

Lady Charles Beresford and Earl of Buchan Recent Converts, Fletcherism and vegetarianism, one meaning the chewing of- meat and the other the eschewing of it, have done much to cause the buteber to grumbles but the latest cult of the well to de 'whose digestion has been impaired by too many dinners is quite enough to drive ethe worthy purveyor of meat frantic with rage. Nuts now form the staple diet of many people who find that a French chef is superfluous. Even the fes:'ve vegetable and cutlet are considered inadequate for the purposes of the advanced diner. "Lord Charles Beresford," says Vanity Fair, "has fort sodic time been a vegetarian, and nowt Lady Charles Beresford has adopted the same form of diet and lives prIill cipally on nuts. The Earl of Buchan and Mr. Neville Lytton are also among the recent recruits." The nuts are served hot or Cold and constitute the principal course at inazijf a lordly mansion nowadays. "If the unr employed only knew," said a nutty con- vert to an Express reporter, "they could live luxuriously on two or three pence a day on the finest food in the world, and it could be varied so much that there would be no monotony of dishes." A booklet by Sir W. B. Cooper 'en- titled "Errors in Eating" gives some curious figures, purporting to show the difference in the nutriment contained in nuts as compared with flesh food Here are some nuts; Total nutrimenj On chestnuts, 89.3 per cent; walnut , 88.2; filberts, 59.5; Brazil nuts, 94; co- coanuts, 50.5; pine kernels, 95; almond$, 87.3.

The pinnacles and cornices on the - west front of Winchester Cathedral arr, in so dangerous a state, owing to de» cay, that the Dean and Chapter tial% decided to close the three western doors, leaving only the south door as ft means of public entrance to the cathe+ dt. Arafew days ago large fragments o stone fell to the pavement fust in fro of the northwest door, and the pre _ lent frosts threaten seriously to crease the danger of pinnacles and eor' nices failing away. It was only a month ago that Dr. Furneaux, the Dean of Winchester, 15t sued an urgent appeal for £ 20,000 Irl order that the serious defects which had been discovered in the cathedral might be repaired. Cracks a foot wide had been discOv-. ered in the foundations of the build - Ing, caused by the subsidence of 'tb e east end, -while a progressive subside ence had also been going on in other portions of the fabric. • In that appeal the dean referred to the dilapidated condition of the splr'ej; and pinnacles of the west front, and it was intended that these should be cov- ered in the general scheme of repair, but it was not expected that the danger in this part of the building would so soon become acute.
