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.

would be fed on their own places. Is
this a wise thing to do? There may be
an appearance of immediate profit in the
transaction, but if carried through it
will involve densin,4 the soil its accus-

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

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.

THE WOMAN AT HOME.
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.
Flat irons wilt not stick in ironing gr-
mente which have been stiffened in this
way. Another laundry help ie dye for

HELLS QF IRISH CHURcUES..
Earliest Weighed Only a FewsOLnc.ess
--St, Patrick's Shrines.
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. PI/train,"
or hell of "Patrick's welly°"sometimes
referred to as the bell of Armagh,
with its diminutive dittlensibns of 6
inches high by 5 inches: broad', 4 in-
ches deep, made of thizt sheet's of ham-
mered iron, bent into a- "four-sided
form, fastened with' rivets. and' brazed
or bronzed, This belt' is at once the
most authentic and 'thee oldest Irish
relic of Christian metal' work that has
descended to us, writes W: Y. Fennell
in the Belfast Gazette, and is mention-
ed in the "Annals"' under the date
of 552.
Did Duty. 500' 'Years.
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. •

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.
