Mr. A, 13 Aylesworth, Minister of Jus' ties, may not be is his place during the coming session of Parliament. It is r• -ported that he is threatened with deafnees, and may have to undergo an operation. The news will be heard with regret by all classes of Canadians. Mr. Aylesworth is a man of emioence in his profession and in the Liberal party. It would be a pity it his usefulness were ourteiled by a physical affliction so pe• miltarly unhappy. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the threatened danger will be averted, and that the Minister may soon return to work as well as ever. Canada's crop shortage will this year reach one bunded million dollars in value. Scott is the affirms intelligence that Mr. Macau endersou, of ()ditto., Oanadian organizer of Farmers' Ineti- rutes, sends to Provincial Superintendent Pitman. Mr. Anderson writes from the easteru seaboard that New Brunswtek wheat, oats, hay and potatoes bre rotting unharvested by reason of incessant rams. Neither mower nor binder can be used owing to the wet grounds. "This ii a lean year for the farmer," oonoludes Mr. Anderson. For Ontario alone The Weekly Sun estimates the shortage at $15 OW Otto Followingtbe treaty of reeiprucitywhich hes recently been agreed upon le tween O,suada and the French republic, Cana- dian ministers will next summer negoti- ate a perferential trade arrangement with Germany and with Italy. Italy hes been fur some time desirous of inn proving its trade relations with Canada, and it is now said that Germany, too, has made approaches for the removal of the restrictions on trade that now exist between ns and them. The Germans are elides to reconsider chair policy of retaliation agaiust Canada if we are prepared t, give them what they regard as n square teat.

THE BRITIShI-.FARMER. Hon, Nelson Monteith, eentario's Miltister of Agriculture, has t:eeeatlet returned from a sojourn ot several months in the old, laud. Speaking oic agriculture in the old country, the Min- ister waxed enthealeatio over -the typical British farmer. His farm hits been the. home of bis aneestars, for generations back, and the ivy•covered oottage, the ;fhatel ed ontbaildini s, tbe well kept hedges, and the cultivated fields give a sense of completeness to hie holdings whio`,t it will take Oatavio farms yeita� to acquire. Then the Batista farmer locks upon iris work in a very bustnesa• Iili:e way. R3 is the manager who must do all the thinkiug and calculating and not neoesaarily alt the hard work. He drives about the fields on horseback directing hero and guiding there, with the sante sense of, responsibility that a manufacturer would have in directing the operationa in his factory. The old country farmer is very met'.iodical in all he does, and he sees well to it that the running of his farm does not deprive him of the enjoyments of life. His home is his chief source of happiness. He is not affeoted by the get.rioh gniek idea so prevalent in America; spaotous lawns surronad his horns and his family are encouraged to enjoy many of the English pastimes. Mr, Monteith could not help contrasting the English farmer with the Ontario farmer, who too often allows laborious toil to rob himself and his family of the joys of living. In a hurried visit to France and Bel- gium Mr. Monteith was attracted by the similarity in general appearance of the farms there to those inOntario. Ile was however, surprised at the amount of of work that the French peasants do in one day. They indeed work very hard he said, much harder than the farm hands in Ontsrio, and moreover, the work done by the women and chil- dren is very surprising. Lessens The stress and strain of the strenuous life in both oity and country tends to- wards stomach troubles. Five people suffer to -day where one did tea years ago with s ok headache, dizziness. flatulence, distress after eat- ing, specks before the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleeplessness and many ether symptoms ot indigestion. All who aro suffering with stomach troables, recd that means at least two oat of three in Wittgbam and other towns. shonld use Mi•c•na stomach tab• Lets. Nothing else is as safe, yet effec- tive; nothing else can be so thoroughly rehed upon to relieve all tronblts from indigestion as Mi -o na, It is not a mere digestive taken after the food is eaten, bus a true tonic, stim- ulant and etr ngtheaer for the musonlr wells of the stomach, increasing the flew ot digestive fields and putting the ,'ornach into each condition that it does ibe worst Nature expects of it. So rt -liable to Mt oats in its curative set;on thet Walton McKtbbon, with every GO•ornt box gives a guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy dors ail that is olaimed for it. i BRITISH AND OTHER iMMt- . GRANTS. If Dr. Bryce, medical inspector of im- migrants into Canada, is right in his statistics, the British people have reason to feel humiliated at the showing they make in comparison with other national- ities During the past three years, one in every g 496 En lie man, one is every 955 Irishmen, and one in every 1,606 Scotchtnen have been sent baok as unfit. That is to say the proportion of defective pepple is twice as great among the Eng- lish as among the Irish, sod nearly four gaieties great as among the Soots. This is del largely to the practice of taking as etaigrauts the pec.ple from the slums. Sooh )t showing should lead to heroic measures fur slum abolition. The showing is worse still when one compares British iaituigraats in general with the despisedf r foreigners; talar a Ouly one I%n•sia!t Hebrew in 6 021 was departed, and one Italian in 16 541. It is mei ter to talk of keeping nut fureiguers tf they are lucre, fit physically than people of our own race. The Loudon Standard, commenting on a well known publicist's artiole on "Canada the Nation," frankly recognizae Canada's prospect of becoming a great nation. and pleads for >ii cont•innation of the "partnership on Imperial Iines." Fortunately the Standard sees just what our share in the partnership meet needs be, namely, "to help employ British. people." But is the face of the above showing Canada must continue to reject unfit Britons who should never have been sent over. It tea tat Welt Patliament will take np eeriotts'y and peralatently the task of improving s'nms out of existence, afford. ing faeilitils to the better class of slam denizens to obtain small holding of land, and to promote the employment of the unemployed at agrionitural labor, the physically unfit will gradually disappear. and the stigma on the British immigrant will be removed. %wi tie Kind YOU Hate fliers kigal Vignola*. 11 e Samuel Clarkson, the Man who eloped with Helen Maloney+, of Philadelphia, is believed to be the ten of a Baritaby brewer.

To clean a gold chain place for a mom - ant in a onpfra of ammonia and water, using three parts of water to one of ammonia. Polish with a clean chamois leather. Vee a olean brick to stand the iron on when ironing, instead of the usual iron- ing stand. It has no holes underneath to admit the air and the irons will retain their heat mnoh longer. Paint stains may be removed from the floor by pouring a little drop of benzine on them, letting it dry, and then rub- bing the stain with emery paper or powdered pummiae stone on a damp cloth. It is not generally known that the potato possesses great cleaning properties. Cold potatoes, when used instead of soap, °lean the hands well and keep the skin soft. The water in which potatoes have been boiled is excellent for spong- ing out dirt from silk. To clean chandelier globes that have become smoked and grimy let them standd for some minutes in hot water in bio Q which a piece of washing soda has been dissolv- ed. Afterwards wash them in hot water with a little ammonia, scouring the die - colorations with a small, not too stiff, brush. To the girl whose gold•topped comb is always slipping out is commended the device of one woman who makes sure of the safety of her costly comb by slip- ping a small rubber band up one of the teeth and twisting a stoat hairpin in the other end of the loop. The band do s not show when the comb is adjusted. For Iight summer dresses gam arabin is a more satisfactory stiffener than starch. A few pieces dropped in warm water to soak over night will make enough liquid to dip two or three dresses, when thinned with warm water to the tame consistency of ordinary starch.

It was about the time of St,.Ilatriak, in the fifth century, that bells., began to be adopted in the Chz•istian.Churehe though their use in other directions+ was long anterior to Christianity, as Mr. Layard records having founds some in the Palace of Nirnxoud: The first Christian bells, like • Pateiek'se weighed only a. few ounces) and: froth' that they gradually increased' til'1 the greatest weight was reached', alt Mos- cow with 198 tons of beautiftzll;y en- riched work, a. strange contrast to the humble "Clog-an-eadhaelzta.

Suclz as this were the bells of the early apostles of Irel/ it?, but the ago • was a progressive one, and advancing art soon claimed'the bells to work on, and the hammered' iron gave way to bronze castings, more skillful work- manship and' to, more perfect reson- ance, We are• fortunate enough to have on loan- tile• finest example in tho Bangor bell of whet the craft of bell - making had) advanced to by.tln time the tenth century had dawned. For 500 years the dolts trell of Patrick had done its duty; and now it had to be laid by. The same• story applies to many other famous• bells' of Ireland and their shrines, but the Church loved, these ancient bells, and their associa- tions rendered them most, precious re- lics. They must be preserved, aid the far-i•llmecll gold workers of Ireland came to the rescue and brought the national art, then in the zenith of its perfection, to bear on the "cases" to l'told' them called "shrines," and by far the most beautiful of all was that for the bell of the great patron saint of Ireland. Were Skillful and Bold. The early church builders and arti- ficers of Ireland were skillful and bold and fearless in their creations; with an independence of thought, they struck out original lines to work on. We see it in the stone -roofed churches. in the stately round towers, the great crosses -a model of one, the finest cross on earth, stands near the case eontaining tho bells -and by the pre- servation of the bells themselves we see in the reliquaries or shritles an- other master thought, repeated tfo- vhere else, and these remain a purely Trish characteristic. A few found a: resting place in Scotland, but a great eethorit;,• says "they are attributed to Trish saints, and wo naturally turn to Ireland in search of the parent group." The "shrine" was made to enclose , the rude iron bell. This fine example of the goldsmith's work must 'have. - been executed between the years 1091 and 1105, when Donell M'Auiey, whose _ name is given in the inscription,-1ile ed the see Of Armagh. The shrine is' made of brass, on which the oras rrrented parts are fastened down with rivets. The front is adorned with sil- ver gilt plated, and knot work in golden filigree. The silver work is partly revered with scrolls, some it alto-relievo and some in bas-relief. It is also decorated with gems and cry- stals, and on the aides are animal forms, elongated and twisted into in- terlaced scrolls. -Since the original shrine was made. in 1091, it has nev- er been lost sight of, but has been handed down from et;stodinn to cus- todian, generally in the same family. • RAILWAY TIME TABLES. 1 GRAND TRUNK RATj,WA,Y SYSTEM.

BRITAIN'S FINANCES. Prospect That a Vast Amount of Her . Debt Will Disappear. The Statist, discussing the budget, cc mmends the thrifty, careful policy of the present Government. It says that there is now a prospect that iu the next few years a vast amount of debt will be redeemed. It goes on to sa"Indeed, taking into account' the ability of the National Debt Commie- sioners to purchase consols at 85 and 90, they are hopeful that during the term of the present Government, near-,, ly one hundred million" pounds ster- ling $5Q0,000,000 of the debt will be .paid off, and when the Chancellor of the Exchequer gives an iicuount of his stewardship in 1910 he will be able to point to a greater reduction in debt than has been effected by any other Government in the histofy of the country in a corresponding period, a andwile show that the credit of the nation, which was so severely injured by the unsound financial policy of the Government from 1895 to 1905, has been fully restored." The Dip of, the New Moon. A great many persons suppose that the crescent of the new moon prom- ises wet or dry weather according as its horns are so inclined that the hol- low between them looks as though it could ot could not hold water. Of course there is absolutely no relation 4 between the weather and the position of the new moon's horns. The inclina- tion of the new moon may readily be accounted for at any time when we bear in mind the fact that a line drawn from tip to tip of the hornet must always be at right angles to the direction of the sun. The Saucer Oath. Some Chinese. witnesses were called' recently during the hearing of an Admiralty case. The Chinese mode of administering an oath, the breaking of it saucer, was gone through. The words of the oath aro,"I tell the truth, and, if not, as the saucer is broken may my soul bo broken like it." No Surprise. T,andlady--l'm sorry to say. sir. that the coffee in exbfurlcd.
