Label Goods Carefully. The Bxpress Tratlic Association of Canada is issuing pamphlets to all manufacturers and shippers urging upon them the importance of properly lab sling all shipments tient by express. The pamphlets state that during the past year more than 300,000 shipments were found in cars or on platforms without any mark on them which would indicate, to whom they were con- signed. In loony cases the mark had been put on in such a careless manner that by the time it reached its des- tination the mark was obliterated. The p7mphlets contain instructions as to how to ship various kinds of articles and the ea -operation of the paekers and strippers is requested by the asso- ciation. The pew rules for shippers and packers as outlined by the pam- phlet will be observed by all express employees after May. 1st.

Those In category lower than A, will, if con victed, serve their senteices in the civil jail and then be returned to their units.

A London paper writes: It is hard to realize the huge size of the Domin- ion of Canada. It is 3,4.00 miles wide -bigger than the U. S. A., unless Alaska is reckoned ---and as big as Europe if Germany be left outl It could easily maintain a population of two hundred million. Australia is the smallest continent, if it be reckon- ed such, and the largest island in the world. New Zealand is our next anti- podes. It is generally regarded as one of the smaller colonies, yet it is only a sixth less than the area of the Brit- ish Isles. South Africa runs to about a million square miles of territory, without ineluduing the newly conquer- ed territory of Southwest Africa. Bri- tish East Africa is another million - square -mite place, whilst Nigeria, is at bout half as much, and Greater Egypt about the same, Add to this the smaller colonies, and Britain's stake in the dark continent -without reckoning Germany's contributions --works' out to the size of the whole of Europa. Nor does this take into account hundreds of islands in the West In- dies, in the Pacific,. In the Indian ocean, and those coruers) of the world's ocean' highways, like "Gib." and Aden, and Singapore, and Hoeg .

Of even greater signifi- cance and import than his acceptance is that other fact that Ane did so on the advice of his leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, These things show that though big men tight tenaciously for a principle, there is a ground on which they can meet for the common good. Major 'Curie Was ill-advised in his attack on Sir Robert for offering this position to Mr, Bolin, A mo - gent's reflection would have convinc- .1 Major Currie that it is Mr, Boivin .nd not Sir Robert Who is making the sacrifice, for undoubtedly in some martens Mr, Boivin will be criticised ,or ace:Ving and his movies will be misconstrued by unreasonable men ho are not as fru• seeing rand broad - visioned as Sir Wilfred aid the new deputy speaker. This step in public ;Milts may be the beginning of the period whnn misunderstandings will lisapew, and the wall of prejudice be broken down. • hh 13oivin is a young pian, born in 1882, and not yet thirty-six years ala. the mixture in his veins is of ingredients that often times disa- gree, French and Irish, but good nevertheless, When Geo, H, speaks the English language the Irish ac- cent is so noticeable that the sons of Erin hip hooray for Duld Ireland, and when he begins to parte Fran- cais, one can almost detect "La Mar - WANTED itettassieuesmaktesseemeneareemstataitet TO WOrk on Munitions.

Those who heard him in Brockville about a year ago at a baequet given by the Daughters of Isabella to Cul. de Salabery and the 240th Battalion, will fully appreciate this statement, for on that occasion he addressed the diners in both languages. As an ex- PQ1lents and interpreter of parlia- mentary procedure and rules, Mr. Boivin, though young, has few equals in parliament. When the rules were being remodelled a few years ago he made a speech that will ever be memorable in douse of com- mune debate, and since that date his opinions on points of order have car- ried great weight in parliament. For some time he has been marked as a coming man who would climb higher and higher in the affairs of the na- tion, not only on ace',unt of his marked ability, but because of his integrity as well, The parliament of Canada is to be congratulated on having this bright young Canadian to preside oder its deliberations in committee of the whole ECLIPSE OF SUN HERE JUNE 8 PARTIAL VEILING OF SUN WILL BE VISIBLEHOUR FOR OVER AN An untimely darkness on June 8 will pass unnoticed by many intelli• gent preoccupied people, Will be the portent of disaster or success to the superstitious, will be a signal for smoked glasses for the curious; but to the student of science the shadow cast by the moon across the sun will mean the precise €uililment of his exact calculations. Three eclipses take place' in 19t8, but the total eclipse of the site on June 8 is the outstanding heavenly event for the year. The last solar eclipse visible in Canada was in 1900, and there will not be another until 1923. The path along which the eclipse Will be visible as a total eclipse is entirely confined to the United States, and passes from the State of Washington on to the Paeidc, through Idaho,. Wyonning,. Colorado, Kansas; Oklahoma, Arkansis, sissippi, Albania and Florid% At the Pacitic Coast totality begins at 2.55 p.m., while in Albania it will be seen at 5.38 p,m although the actual time for the shadow to sweep across the United States is only 46 minutes. The duration of totality at Orlando, Washington, is 2 minutes, and at Orlando, Florida, 45 seconds, PARTIAL IN CANADA, In Canada the phenomenon will only be viewed as a partial eclipse. in Vancouver, near the beginning or the path of totality, 96 per cent of the sun will be in shadow,- the eclipse lasting from lett) p nn. as the first mark appears, to 3 53, when it finally disappears.. In Toronto tt- tality will be 42 per cent, beginning at 5.10 p.m. and ending at 6.57. 1 n Montreal, totality will be 50 the eclipse beginning lit 5.34 p.m, and eliding at 7.15 p,nt In Quebec totality will be 46 per cent, the shadow appearing first at 5.43 p.m. and finally disappearing at 7.20 p.m In Nova Scotia and Newfoundland the sun Will set slightly eclipsed, The eclipse will begin at se ens• at the Borodino Islands, south of Japan, and is last sen at sunset at the Bahama islands, STATISTICS Now, said the teacher one Ptrday afternoon, i am going to give ,you some of tussock moth this summer, and in statistics about the tear.

Against all the men and motley advantages of the Entente, however, Germany had the advantage of being thoroughly prepared, organ- ized, and unified. The Entente has dune most of its preparing since the war broke out. It is safe to say Germany would have triumphed quick- ly if it had not been for the British fleet, it alone, was ready.
