Sanders, Editor and Prop THURSDAY, JULY 80th, 1869 S'71311 the newspapers of the United Stases are losing confidence in Mr. :Lenrier. The Boston Trrauscript,which twee one of his supporters. during the stempaign, now points out that "Pre :::ter Laurier has already moderated :bis *zeal for economy, . having trans - "totally ignore this necessity, and pass- "es ass "es it by to provide something which "is, in many cases, utterly and entirely "useless for the rough-and-tumble of "actual life, is defective." It is not con- tended that schools should be turned into kitchens, but that something should be done towards enlightening maturer pupils. In England several attempts hays been made in this direction, with benefit, Most people are aware, that the pupils in the schools are overbur dened by being taught matters which ate practically useless. An average f.wmed two Contaollerships in his new intelligent scholar taught to read pro "ab net into full-fledged Ministers, perly can easily pick up additional talth a salary increased by $2,000.". ,American editors never had a better „bance than the silver question gives .them to win the confidence and esteem their thinking readers by an honest ,c_; tlanation of the merits of the case, ,eyoid of rant, epithet and buncombe. ,amu people are getting deeply interest ad n the matter, it is to be the one anblet t for discussion for the, next three in- !our months, and fair, lucid treat- :wt::it of it is demanded. There are two sides to the question, and readers -tr„ ?1 brains will not be content if only nee is presented to them.

She Ostoiligeutly and intelligibly. encouraged her scholars to bring to seheol wild plants, flowers, and all sorts of natural productions, and ex- plained and interested her scholars, so that practically, without auy sense of it being a task, they were taught to observe, compare, and think, One re• suit was that the children earned a name for extra intelligence, and when old enough were sought for as assist- ants by the gentry and others. The subject of teaching the elements of econmical cookery and housekeeping is a knotty one, but is might be well if the question were threshed out by those competent to decide, At present the opinion is almost universal that too much that is taught in the schools is practically of little or no use in after life, and that what might be useful is overlooked.. knowledge. It is notorious that there are numbers—even from the country —who are ignorant of how to make the most of their food. • In that respect people in France greatly excel the British, They can turn out a savoury meal from what the latter often throw away. A popular English weekly re- cently started a discussion as to wheth- er people should marry on twenty shil- lings a week, Many married women gave their experience in the affirma- tive, giving details, and they grounded their opinions on making the most of everything, Previous to the inauguration of the present system of education in Bug land, there was a village school where the mistress deviated from the usual BALLOT -STUFFING 1N .i OBTII ONTARIO IO The rascal who did the baliotstuffiog .,Yh North Ontario was happily not so veil informed as he was ill intentioned. • -roll was to commit a crime against Oda*. electorate; and while in the absence :r! the stolen ballots presumably marked ;v, the Patron nominee, it is impossible °;w say whether or not he succeeded, he, en tiny case, cast a cloud upon Major ?1•.Gillivray's claim to the seat, which otherwise might have been his beyond doubt, It is not an uncommon result of bungling criminality of this kind that the bungler damages the unfor- tunate cause he would assist, it is important, however, that the grime be accorded its due gravity. The lalise should be kept on the trail of the :ri:ninal with as much vigor and per - :severance as if it were a flagrant case ai housebreaking which the justice of the lend was called upon to puutsh, The .:he thing in this country which above nil others should be kept sacred from deletion by criminals stupid or crimin- al shrewd, is the right of the people to peke known their wishes at the ballot Let the partisans play their game, t_ t'aev will, up to the door of the polling ":oth; but once the voter has crossed she threshold of that modern sanctuary Ie should be free to express his opinion without fear of discovery by those who nvsuld intimidate or those who had tried *tes 'nuy, and the ballot containing that expression of opinion should be abso s.,.tely sure of being counted, If there :le any strength in the law of the land, ought to be concentracted upon at•lolaving this result. If necessary, the 3ha113t boxes could be guarded by night and day until both parties were satis- sed that the ballots within them had amen counted correctly. It is bad. enough that we cannot' de- s -lie a ballot which will prevent the un - voter from making, mistakes, Mat it is intolerable that the ballot box be burglarized and the re- aor3ed will of the people so defaced that 7ro one can tell what they did mean to any. fEAC.BING COMMON SCHOOLS At: Bisley At the National Rifle Association meet at Bisley, Eng., Friday, the Canad- ian team won all the prizes in the Cor- poration of the city of London match. The prizes were all 'money prizes, and totalled £105, At the annual meeting Sergt. Fuller, of the queen's Westmin- ster Regiment, won the St. George's Vase Saturday, with a total score of 105. The scores of the members of the Canadian rifle team, la the competition for this prize, were aa follows:—Hug. gins, 104, won a National Rifle Associa tion badge and £10; Ross 80; Weller, 94; Neill. 98; Munro, 63. The four last named won small money prizes. Toronto Alliance Company The big Piohibition Convention con veued at Toronto a few days ago for the purpose of discussing temperance measure—more particularly prohibi tion—was largely attended. I under- stand a large number of the delegates were ministers, whose spiritual calling Should naturally instil into the discus- sions of the meeting something of the spirit of Christ; but it appears a spirit of another sort seemed to be the ruling power and eyidently Christ was not there. The political nature of Prohibi- tion was the cause of all the commotion. The editor of the Royal. Templar ap peered, and was delegated to be the leader of the attacking party, We here have a good illustration of the saying, "a house divided in itself cannot stand " The press is unanimous that the re suit of the convention was iujutious to the temperance cause. That many in consequence of the evil spirit of the meeting, have left the organization, 9iessrs. Buchannan, of the Royal Temp- lar, Rev. Kettlewell, Lees and Wrigley have left in consequence of their de. feat in thetr motion to read Mr. Ross oat—the vote running 92 yeas and 309 nays. The, convention requires a great many more restrictions to be placed on liquor dealers so far as Provinces are concerned and require a sydicate vote of the Dominion in view of prohibition. The remark of the Rev. B. B. Reefer is suggestive, viz: "Mr. Ross was the one man who could throw open the cit oriel and betray the cause of Temper once." I have for some time past felt as though the Dominion Alliance and IV, W. Buchannan were unanimous ou Prohibition, notwithstanding protesta- tions to the contrary. Is this the reve- lation Rev. B. B. Reefer fears, If there be such a sympathy between the two wings of the Alliance, the wonder, as to why such a want of harmony prevailed at the convention, would cease. A ROYAL TEMPLAR. Political Notes French Liberals, from all sections of Manitoba, met at Winnipeg on Satur- day and passed a resolution of unbound ed confidence in Mr. Laurier. They will protest Proy encher, through Lari- viere has intimated that he will support Laurier. The protest against Hugh John Mac- donald will be filed as once. The pa- pers are ready to be handed into court. The Liberals have decided to protest the election of Klock iu Nipissing who beat Colima by 600. A political pointer in circulation at Toronto is to the effect that Mr. J. K, Kerr, Q C., is the most prominent pos- sibility for the office of Lieutenant -Gov- ernor. Mr. Kerr is en route to Eng- land. Mr. S. H. James is not in the race, but it is said he will be given a seat in the House, as member for South Oxford, in the event of Sir Richard Cartwright being transferred to an of- ficial position, Then the next Ontario vacancy in the Cabinet will go to the new member. Seaforth: One day recently as Mr. Robert Habkirk was at his brother Matthew's, on the north road, near Sea - forth, helping to draw in hay, he hitch ed one of his horses, a young animal, to the rope attached to the hay fork, with only a halter on. As soon as the animal saw the hay coming up off the load behind it, it got frightened, and becoming unmanageable, it got down the side of the approach to the barn taking Mr. Habkirk with it. The horse was badly cut and Mr. Habkirk was considerably bruised, but is now get- ting around all right. From the Mail and Empire. There has recently been a discussion is. these columns as to what ought to be itgrlght to the girls in our public schools. 1k suggests the idea that those capable r3ealing thoroughly with the subject as eld enquire into it. The correspon- $nnrt who introduced the question stat- cii that his wife had hired two girls dam the country, who both professed 'i,a do plain cooking, but who it turned on; were ignorant of simple cookery matters. He asked whether there was sot something erroneous in instructing lie subjects of little practical use and angiecting matters of everyday life, His critic turned the subject into ridi- vsle—there is certainly a humorous rile to the enquiry—and the original =respondent restated his case. He hays: "Without fear of contradiction minim any one of ordinary common ' sense and experienee—(he is referring lto the Public schools) after the ordi- 'army rudimentary branches of read ins' "writing and arithmetic have been "festered sufficiently for the ordinary thwork'of life, our young women should ^ommehaw be taught at least the first •0jlenta of good and economical staseakery and housekeeping; and that tsa national system of education 'which Clinton: A couple of quiet weddings took place in town last week, the first being at the residence of Mrs. A.

Hamilton, July 87. -Alice Yorke, 81 years of age, employed as a domestic at the Victoria Hotel, was waylaid by half a dozen thugs at the corner of Ferris and James streets on Saturday night. The men seized her by the arm and tried to eersuade her to go to a private outhouse on the bay shore, but the young woman declined to accompany them. Thereupon the entire gang laid hold of her and dragged her along Forrie street a short distance and handled her very roughly. She fought desperately, and although the milieus did not accomplish their purpose they beat and kioked her unmercifully. The young woman is now in the City Hospital, and her face is horribly disfig- ured as a result of her experience. This evening Constables Ford and Campaign arrested Daniel Hanley, MoNab street north, on a charge • of being a member of the gang. Messrs. A. Mathieson, A. Richardson, C. Bremner, Peter Lanning and Arthur Brooks had a narrow escape from drown- ing in the lake last evening, When about three miles from the piers the boat in which they were sailing was struck by a squall and capsized. For nearly an hour and a half the young men clung to the bottom of the upturned boat and were well-nigh exhausted when rescued by the crew of the speedy and staunch yacht Canada. Contractors Pigott and Inglis of the T. H. & B. spur line have signified their willingness to employ union men on the masonry work of the bridges, on condi- tion that the men work ten hours a day at 92?4 cents an hour. According to the rules of the union the men are to be paid time and a third for all ever nine hours a day. It is expected that an ami- cable settlement will be arrived at, the union having appointed a committee to wait on the contractors, Mr. S, T. Wickham, Secretary of the Toronto Branch of the Navy League of Canada, has communicated with City Clerk Beasley, requesting that Hamilton City Council join in a petition to the eovernment to appoint a royal commis- sion to inquire and report upon such matters as may place the defences of 'Canada on a satisfactory basis. The usual flow of oratory was on tap at the City Council this evening, and al- though the business transacted was not of extreme importance the session was prolonged. The applie.'ttiou of the Do- minion Cold Storage Company for freo water for its proposed warehouse was not granted, the Waterworks Committee recommending against the company's request, pointing out that the water sup- ply is not complying with all the require- ments of the citizens at present. The recommendation that the Dominion Cold Storage Company be granted ten year's exemption on its proposed warehouse was referred back to the Finance Com- mittee. Army Worm Attack Over Prof. Panton reports the invasion of the army worm over. As soon as they began to cuter the pupa. stage (July 16) a perceptible lessening in their nunl- forms remain, but they cannot do much injury. 1. The use of parts green by sprink- ling it upon a windrow of ,green oats has been most effective in destroying them. Under the oats actual count showed 2,500 dead worms to the square foot. Other substances were tried, but none with such decided results. 2. The sparrows have been reinforced daily, until great numbers have collect- ed These have done great work in the destruction of the pest. 3. Experiments with salt and lime failed to produce the results in check- ing the progress of the worms. They passed over both without much diili culty. 4. Oats, wheat and corn proved to be the most affective food, though many kinds were tried. Beans, peas, clover, potatoes, turnips were no temptation. The young clover in oat fields attacked was not touched , through myriads of worms were busy destroying the oats. 5. The tachina fly did not appear in such numbers as would have been desired. No worm was seen with more than two eggs upon them, and only a few with that many. The ground bee- tles became very numerous. Pupa cases of the fly were seen in the breed- ing cages. A few days after the worms entethe same condition. 6, The worm has gone, apparently, as suddenly as it came. Sums ask where ? Many were destroyed by birds preying beetles and, tachina flies, and thus perished on the march; these will never appear again. The remainder has gone into the ground or lie conceal ed under boards, clods, etc., in the pupa stage. In two weeks they will develop into fawn -colored moths that will emerge to lay eggs for another gener- ation this fall, but it will be so demin- ished in numbers that the worms feel- ing upon grass along the fences and around the woods will likely never be observed. A full report of experiments carried on and investigations made during the past week will appear in the College report for 1896.

Damage Done by the Storm—•1Yashout in Tecumseh. Windsor, Ont., July 27.—The rain and windstorm which passed over this vicin- ity last night did considerable damage to crops, and rendered the country roads in many places . impassable. The storm swooped down upon the city suddenly at seven o'clock, and continued for about an hour, and during this thine rain fell to the depth of three inches. In the city several trees were blown down, and tele- graph wires were bnclly tangled up, but no other damage is reported. At Tenum- seh, eight miles from here, therein came down in sheets, deluging fields and roads to such an extent that they resembled one vast lake, Many of the fields in which corn and rye had been planted were badly washed out, and the damage will aggregate several thousand dollars.
