While It is pitiful enough to bear the wails of a neglected child. It le even more Pitiful to see tbe stupefied child sleeping off a drug debauch provided by its own o( ber. This children of tbe rich often suffer through the practices of their ounce. who wish to secure exemption from their care and so put them Into an unnatural sleep. Once found out. In- stant discbarge abotdd follow without • recommendation. No offense can be more contemptible in tbe eyes of the law or of society than making drug inebriates of little children. It is simply a process of stow poisoning. which at tbe same time establishes a habit, affects the mentality and Wares the baby. A child brought up on "soothing sirups" Is dull and lethargic.

Under the food aud drug act the United States courts are making It evident that a label ac- curntely stating the contents of a -medicine" does not imply liberty to advertise It as not injurious and rec- ommend It as remedy for Ws It canuot cure.

In estimating the smote of Alberta. Canada, one important item is wit always omitted -its mountain reale In Eastern Canada and in the United Slates the C$nadian mountains as supposed to he entirely within the confines of Britisb Columbia. Let u look at the facts. The boundary be- tween these two provinces is deemed as the continental watershed. Wi the swing A taken to the wea$. places thr largest portion of use peat Columbian ice fieldsaid to contain an area of 900 .quare miles within the Province of Alberta. And so on tu the D"th "‘Aia,. t. does it matter, anyway?.. says the '• Practical" inan who kuows it all. "There is no mineral and 140 money in those mountains.- Certain- ly there is no motley at present for anybody except the railwaycompany with brains enough u, exploit the mountain centres of beauty. Look at the little republic of'Switzerland, whtch understands the value of moan tains to a. nation. In 190'7. the latest date on which we have authorities figures. the income to hotel keepers from tourists was over eighty million dollars, and this is steadily micro's ing. Now, hotel keepers are not the only ones who benefit. The hotels have to be supplied with food and necessaries; horses and marriages are in large demand.; and even such or business as the curiosity and "notion'. seller becomes important to a degree that is almost incomprehensible to us. The societies of guides, practical- ly trade uaions. are important cor- poration., handling large sums. Canada possesses 900,000 square miles of high snow -clad ranges. uni- que their scenic beauty and Alpine attractions. "Twenty Switaerlands in one," is the oft -quoted remark of the celebrated mountaineer. Edward Whymper.- But such oomparisons. true as they may beare really of little value.. It is the difference that gives our mountains their charm, not their similarity to those of other mountains of finer ontline and of greater height, but there are nowhere such lakes as Louise or O'Hara, or those in the region from whence flows the great Saskatchewan. And so Ions as there remains inherent in healthy human nature the love of adventure, of exploring the wilderness, Canada's mountains will afford the means of satisfying it. Among the giants of the snow -clad ranges men can get away from their business area, from them- selves, and obtain real recreation. But is not mountaineering very dan- gerous? To that one may reply that we take greater risks than those in- volved in the sport every day in our crowded cities, and think nothing of them, because they are commonplace. A great English schoolmaster, of the end of the nineteenth century, refused to recognize lawn tennis as a school game because there was no danger oonnected with, andtherefore no discipline of character. This gives food for tboaght. The exploitation of all high r'es the world over: the Alps, the kiris- yes. the Caucasus, the Andes. the high Alps of /tow Zealand. has, in the first instanct, been carried out by member? of Alpine clubs. The earliest, the par• eat and most famous of them all, is the Alpine Club of England, organized in 1867, and among the youngest is the Alpine Club of Canada. Before this was started in 1906. there were practically no Canadian mountaineers. A few American citizens, a few Eng- lish people passing through on their way from India or Australia, along with a few scientists. made up the meagre roll of climbers. Now the club is well on the way to a membership of six hundred, and though started ss a national organisation, it has become internationW with oonaections reach- ing to Cher& Britain, the United States. Australia, South Africa, Swit- zerland. Holland and Italy. With ramifications spreading throughout the vast area of Canada. the club keeps in constant touch with its mem- bers by means of local committees in Laapeouver, Calgary. Winnipeg snot • A loeal Qotnmittee as also been formed in New York, of which ' committee the president and viee- r president Of England's Alpine Club are members.

Pen visitors to the parade ground of the historic castle of Edinburgh are aware that they stand on what is legally Canadian soil. In lfel, eight year' after Junes VI. went to London. and the two crown were united. the King, desirous to give an outlet to his countrymen, gave Sir William Alexan- der of Momstrie, afterwards Earl of 8tirling. a charter of all the country between the River 8t. Croix. the St Lawrence, Newfoundland. and New England. This territory was named New Scotland, St.. Croix River became the Tinted. and Cape Breton became Now Galloway. This new colony for administrative purposes was by a leg el friction connected with Edinburgh. In order to raise men to help to found the colony the King instituted the Or- der of Baronets of Nova Scotia. This hereditary title was to be given gentleman of gas' birth, who arrang- ed to send it certain number of men and to pay a certain sum of money lot the expenses Of this plantation of New Scotland and there were many fam- ilies among the old nobility who had 14111 among them titles of Baronet of Nova Scotia.

The London Chronicle recalls .an interesting episode in the career of the late Hohnan Hunt, whose pie - tures attracted wide attention at To. recto Exhibition. "There was," it says, "a period in his career when he contemplated emigrating to Canada as a farmer. It was shortly after the establishment of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The work of the new ar- tists was the subject of an avalanche of hostile criticism, and The Times - in an article published in 1861 -sin- gled oat the paintings of Millais and Holman Hunt for particular condem. nation. Affected simplicity. senile imitations of a cramped style, false perspective, crude colors. morbid in. istuation, and the sacrifice of beauty, truth, and genuine feeling to mere eccentricity, were among the vices with which the unfortunate artists were charged. • -Hunt was in despair, and threat- ' erred to leave the oountry, while Mil- lais was in a state of equal dejection. Hearing of this, Coventry Patmore wrote to Raskin begging him to use his influence on behalf of the traduced artists. Immediately afterwards Rus- kin wrote two letters to The Times, frn which he vindicated both Hunt and iflais from the attacks of the critics. 'There has been nothing in art so earnest or so complete as these pic- tures ounce the days of Albert Durer,' be wrote The letters (-rime, as Hun himself said, as thunder out of a cies sky, and they created a rs'volutioi in public feeling. Hunt abandoned bt intention of emigrating, and set work 'again, while Millais began 'hi Ophelia'.
