But as I watched him I soon could see He never again would sing for me On a swaying branch of the apple tree. Never more in the morning light, Never more in the sunshine bright, Trilling his song in gay delight. And I'm thinking, every summer day, How never, never I can repay The little life I took away.

London Daily Mail Rays Its Respects to the Commonwealth — How Truth Was Suppressed--Chargec of Mis• representation Made — Alleged by Journal That Australia's Chief En- emy Its Labor Party. It Is only a few Weeks since Cana- dians were astonished by the publica- tion of some official literature by the Government of Australia, which at- tempted to exploit the Commonweeith by most unjust disparagement of the Dominion. Not a great deal of atten- tIon was paid to the incident, for Cana- dians were too confident in the merits of their own country to fear the result of malicious attacks on the other side of the earth. There was, however, and is, resentment that. one colony should make so unprovoked an attack on the other, even in the laudable effort to boom its own attractions for the emi- grant. Consequently, it may be some satisfaction to Canadians to know that, as the result of an investigation and :exposures by The London Daily Mail, official literature from Australia has been discredited completely and should, carry no weight for a long time to come. To the charges made by tilde powerful newspaper against the Gov- ernment of New South Wales there may be a reply, but nevertheless there are certain facts disclosed which are unanswerable. The Journal and Commonwealth. Thus the Mail' introduces "The Australian Scandal": "Nearly three years ago The Daily Mail published a series of articles upon Australia, in which it pointed out that the financial and political condition of the Commonwealth was most perilous. The birth rate was fall- ing fast; immigration was discourag- ed; the country was burdened with debt; its expansion was fatally hin- dered by the disastrous policy of the dominant Labor party, which had de- clared war upon God, capital, and children. Australians were warned that, in the then imminent future, the Pacific would be the theatre of a great world struggle, and that, in face of the expansion of the great powers, it was out of the question for 4000,000 people to dream of keeping to them- selves a oontinent. These articles pro- voked a storm of abuse and criticism, though they were written by one of the most convinced Imperialists in this country, and though many of their predictions hav: already in the short space of three years been fulfilled. It 'was the hope of the writer that they 'would have been followed by real and strenuous reform." Suppressing the Truth. Instead of setting itself to rectify its mistakes, Australia, or the leading Australian state, New South Wales, chose to establish in England a kind of press agency 'tor 'the purpose of placing before the British public facts favorable to the Commonwealth. The Mail says that attempts were made to close all avenues by which independent information might reach England. Correspondents of English newspapers were approached and bribed or threatened. The Mail's cor- 'respondent, who sent a despatch to his paper commenting on the migration of a number of New South Wales fam- ilies to Chile, because.they were being taxed to death, was discharged from the Sydney paper which had employed him, and was denounced as a traitor in the New South Wales Parliament. This action, as might have been ex- pected, recoiled on the heads of Its authors, and the correspondent and The Mail have received a great deal of valuable advertising both in Australia and England as a result.. Charges of Misrepresentation. Discussing the offer of Gen. Booth to send 5,000 families to Australia and the immigration policy of the country, The Mail says: "There is only too much reason to believe that the declaration published in England to the effect that Australia is now anxious or settlers and immi- grants are only means of influencing the British investor in Australia's fa- vor, No real attempt has been made to give effect. to these declarations. The land laws of New South Wales, which are a serious obstacle to settlement, have not been reformed; the territory offered to Gen. Booth for settlement proves to have been the Piillga Scrub, which is at present a desert with an altogether insufficient supply of water for agriculture. To this dubious coun- try settlers have been invited, and are being invited, from England by circu- lars, which assert, among other things, that a crop of 17 bushels per acre gives e, profit of 30s per acre, thereby sug- gesting that the usual crop is 17 bush- els, though, as a matter of fact, the actual average is only 9.9 bushels per acre; that the cost of shipping wheat to England is only 7d to 80, whereas it Is Is 10; that 'millions and millions of acres of fine wheat lands are await- ing the settler,' though inhabitants of New South 'Wales cannot obtain this land, which is already taken up under vicious land laws; that the average re- turn per cow is about £ 10, when it le really only £7; that the great plateau of New South Wales is "intersected in ali direetion8 by railroads'—an asser- tion which the shortest study of the map instantly refutes: that 'no exPen- sive housing and feeding of stock is necessary,' though during the reeent drought—and droughts recur periodic- ally—nearly every sheep cost .,C1 to keep by hand -feeding; and that there were 110,000,000 acres with a fair rain- fall, on which only 700,000 persons were settled. It was not stated that these 700,000 persons had monopolized all the best portions of this vast stretch of land and left little but 'rubbish' for the newcomer." Australia's Chief Enemy.

Three years ago I had a very severe -attack of Dyspepsia. I tried five of the best doctors I could find but they could do me no good. I was advised by a friend to try Burdock Blood Bitters and to my great surprise, after taking two bottles, I was so perfectly cured that I have not had a sign of Dyspepsia since. I cannot praise it too highly to all sufferers. In nay experience it is the best I ever used. Noth- ing for me like B.13.13. Don't accept n substitute for Burdocic Blood Bitters. There is nothing "just as good." recently a Queensland gentleman, who desired to bring a nurse and a groom from England, was not permitted "to import permanently two such danger- ous articles as a British man and a British woman," These facts have been admitted by Australians, but it was asserted that a new policy had been inaugurated. It appears now that this is not so, and that the old road to economic ruin, on which the finger posts are "Socialism" and '4Exclusion" and "Misinformation," is still the popular highway of "the Yan- kees of the Antipodes." Canada can- not exult in the troubles of Australia.. We can only hope that reforms will be adopted before a country of so many natural advantages becomes wholly discredited In the eyes of the world. THE TELEPHONE POLES. An Argument Looking To Their Re- moval From the Streets. The way in which our streets are spoiled by telephone poles Is pretty generally recognized. It is only de- spair that keeps us from saying much about it. The constitutional privilege of grumbling finds its exercise chiefly among people of leisure. People like ourselves, who have to work, dislike disturbing themselves by agitation un- less there is to be some result. It has been proved in the United States that there is nothing impossible about the proposition to put telephone wires un- derground, and that is where they will ultimately have to go. There are muni- cipal provisions which will produce that result, in a limited way, before long. But, in the meantime, It is not neces- sary that we should suffer to the ex- tent we do from the erection of crook- ed poles and the stringing of glistening wires. The •establishment of a good residential street means that at num- ber of people will live there who will use telephones, So up go the poles on both sides of the. street, carrying a bunch of thirty or forty wires apiece, with guy -wires and service -wires run- ning out from them at all angles. Exit the perpendicular line from the com- position of the street; for it is an ex- traordinary thing how the eye is thrown out by a slanting pole, so that building lines adjoining it seem to be also out of plumb. ' Now Eat this is un- necessary. Without in • the least at- tempting the task of preventing the erection of poles at all, it is a simple matter to have them removed from the streets, to prevent their erection in front of buildings by requiring their erection at the back. In most parts of this country we suffer from the rec- tangular arrangement of our streets. It is a pity that we should also suffer from an evil which this dull arrange- ment is peculiarly adapted to remove. As one looks up a long, straight street, afforested with poles, and reflects that there is nearly always a long, straight lane behind, or if there is nota lane there Is a vacancy in which, where the back -lots meet in a fence, the poles may be run without being in anyonee way, and where nobody is likely to ob- ject to their being run, it really seems as if an agitation to have all poles placed at the back instead of in the streets is worth attending to, because there could be some result. --Canadian Architect and Builder.

Bach profession has its; stock Jokes, its stories innumerable, and to eaeh belongs a flavor all its own. That the paint of a jest lies not in the tongue of hint who makes It, but In the ear that hears, is the testimony of the great dramatist. The doctor on bus rounds and the judge upon the bench have both an audience ready and will- ing t, accept as the highest wit the hon mots of the speakers, and there is no club gathering of men that does not acclaim. one of its members as supreme in this respect, and are ready to yield due recognition of the gift. There is, however, a vast amount of unconscious humor always floating about, and to those who perceive it the world is ever very amusing. It muet bo admitted that the blunders and jests clerical stand for some reason Pre-eminent both in number and in mirth producing qualities. The rea- son, of course, is not far to seek, the very surroundings in which they oc- cur the very upsetting of one's pre- conceived notions of reverence, all tend to cause a reaction in the ordinary mental equilibrium, and the simplest mistake or accident under such cir- cumstances assumes the proportions of a huge comedy. The divine who in drawing the at- tention of his congregation to a spe- cial communion service on the fol- lowing Sunday informed them that "the Lord Is with us in the forenoon and the bishop In the evening," is chronicle with praying for the children of his parish in these words: "And now, 0 Lord, bless the lambs of this fold, and make them meet for the king- dom of heaven." while a Scotch min- ister innocently, perhaps, hit the marls by telling his people, "Weel, friends, the kirk is urgently in need of sitter, and as we have failed to get money honestly we will have to sea what a bazaar can do for us." There is a certain amount of excuse to be made for the young curate who, remarking that some people came to church for no better reason than to show off their best clothes, finished up as he glanced over his audience: "I am thankful to see, dear friends, that none of you have come here for that reason." An Irish clergyman Is credited with having concluded a powerful oration in this fashion: "My brethren, let not this world rob you of a peace which it can neither give nor take • away." Which is coupled with the remark of a fellow country colleague who, in rea- soning with a woman who had lost her faith in Christianity told her: "Well you will go to hell, you know, and I shall be very sorry, indeed, to see you there." But what can be said of the negro student, who, conducting the prayers at one of the great missionary poi - leges, said: "Give us all pure hearts, give us all clean hearts, give us all sweet hearts," to which the entire congregation made response. "Amen." The giving out of church notices has of ten proved a pitfall for the unwary. "During Lent," said a rector lately, "several preachers will preach on Wednesday evenings,but I will not give their names, as they will be all found hanging up in the porch." It was a rector who gave out a hymn beginning, "Awake, my soul, stretch every nerve," before his sermon, and a curate who read in the lesson for the day: "He spake the words, and cathoppers came and grasspillars in- numerable," but it was at a young whattNIoelynan's Bie 11 b‘Si‘l.

In Scotland and many parts of Eng- land, and, indeed, throughout Europe. it is (or used to be) a popular custom when a tooth is extracted to put a pinch of salt on it and throw It into the lire. This is a survival of a re- motely ancient practice, dating . from the Gothic days of Sun worship, of which the fire is an emblem; and the action of burning a separated tooth was recognized as "a tooth offering." The alleged penalty for omission of the observance varied in different localities. In one it was said that the next tooth would be a "buck's" or a "clog's" tooth; or that the neglectful owner of the tooth would have to search for it after death in Hades, or that something else equally terrible would happen. Apple Pips and Peelings. Apples have long been invested by the superstitious with mystic in- fluence, for the reason that they used to be regarded as the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. An old Scottish belief is that if an apple -pip be shot from between thumb and fin- ger its flight takes the direction from which the shooter's partner in life will come. Another, and More general, sup- erstition is to peel an apple in one lung : unbroken strip of rind, which is then thrown ,ver the left. shoulder. If it falls Unbroken to the ground the thrower's wedding will be soon, I and if in falling it assumes the shape of an alphabetieal letter, that letter will be the initiri of the sur- name of the future spouse.
