Under the political institutions en- joyed by the people of Canada, it has been found possible to carry on a government that insures to the gov- erned the greatest measure of liberty that is consistent with order, that guarantees to each citizen the enjoy- ment of the fruits of his industry, and encourages national development and progress. For these great blessings the Canadian people must thank their heritage In the British Constitution, which, under a government monarch- ical In form, gives to the people re- sponsible and elastic democratic rule. These thoughts are suggested by the session of our Federal 1'arllament which has just begun, says a writer the remainder of Felutmiy. If tho M,-u s iulluuncu should have t ikon the posi ive urn that is, should hive resulted in se- vere weather in Deci-nibcr and January conditions will begin to change at this limo into softening weather and storms of a more equatorial and tropical nature will characterize the rest of the month " The " Mars " or aomo other influence ha" assuredly moderated the wiutsr con- ditions during December and January, ami therefore, if Mr. link-, predictions have any value, cold and stormy weatl or miy be looked for in February. The prognosticator also .states that ''the Mer- cury period, which ends at this time, will cause much and destructive sleet during in The Montreal Standard, and that, . , ,, , too, tends to cause one to look back- |' ts c-ntmuanco the lust ten days of Feb- wards to the beginning of government In this country, and to contrast the institutions of long .go with those under which it is our good fortune to live. This backward glance enables us to see bow far the world has mov- ed In the matter of government since white men came to the valley of the St. Lawrence -nd planted here the seeds of civilization. Canada's earliest rulers were trad- ing companies that. In consideration ' n ,>t yet subsided. of monopolies granted them in the idd , d , fur trade and the fisheries, under- , took to rule the country for the Kii g * equatorial storm* and torna- ruiiry. Piercing cold will visit most parts of the country from about the 12th to the 14'.h. By the Kith of February Mr. Hicks al-o states, "We will have entered well into the esrtl' vernal c<|m- nox an<l tho Venus e<]uinoxial peiiod will l>o approaching i's miixinuini strength.

To pntve that he wa-i in I .il'i.iid, and lefule the inipiitationi of hit brother that lie had not the courage, William Diamond mimicked tho pomp of Versailles. Judging from his title nnd 'mm a considerable part of his commission, tho Governor-General of Canada was tho all-powerful local head of the ad- ministration whereas, in fa-t, he was not so. Ills powers were limited and confused by the very w.jrdin^ of bis commission and of his Instructions, and they were further limited by the powers of another hlRh ofllcer, who was generally considered to be sub- ordinate to the Go-'err.or, and yet who, with respect to some mutters, , seemed to have outranked him.

This remarkable Council combined some of the advisory and executive functions of tho Cabinet of to-day, with some of the legislative functions of Parliament, and the functions both of a trial court and a court of appeal. The law that It enforced and, therj- fore, Introduced into Canada, was what was known in France as the "Coutume de Paris" the Customs of Paris, based on the ancient Roman law. The rule of the Governor, the In- tendant, and the Sovereign, or Super- ior Council, cor.tlnued to the end of the French regime. It had Its quali- ties, especially with respect to mili- tary affairs, for It made New Prance the strongest flghting unit on the con- tinent. With respect to civil matters, the systeni did not work remarkably well, in fact, It si-ems to have worked re- markably ill, for a French writer in describing the state of Canada In 1758 two years before Its surrender says that It is the "country of abuse*." Such, in outline, was the first royal government in this country a sys- tem that cam* to an end witb the surrender by In September, fears of existence. Broke Up the Show . A man in Paris made a good deal of money exhibiting a cartons ani- mal. The most Interesting feature of the show was the fact that no one could tell to what species the animal belonged. The showman professed that ho didn't know, and the specta- tors hazarded many guesses. One da) a visitor entered, accompanied by t dog. Immediately the wondrous ani- mal humped its back like a diminu- tive camel and began to hiss and aplt. The mystery was solved it was a shaved cat! The show closed up thai very day, but no one denies that a man who could shave a cat deserved to make money. thU The Only Effective Way. "There are a lot of evils In country." "That's true."

T FISHER, - - PROPRIETOR INTERNATIONAL STOCK FOOD Makes Cow* Give More Rich Milk. nternational Stock Food conquered England, just as (t conquered Canada nnd the United States, by proving to the Dairy Experts that It is the greatest milk producer and health restorer in the world. The test was made on Lhree cows from the dairy herd Of S. W. Hackney, Esq., Leeds, England. Chairman of the Yorkshire Federation of Dairy Farmers. Quantity and quality of milk was tested for n cer- tain time then " International Stock Food " was added to the regular feed. INTERNATIONAL STOCK FOOD showed an norease in Milk of 14.2 pint* daily, and 1.21 pounds of butter daily. This proves that International Stock Food, added :o the regular feed will increase the Quantity and im- >rove the quality of milk from every cow. It shows that International Stock Food aids digea- ion and keep cows in better condition. It proves hat International Stock Food is a money-maker for the farmer that every farmer who owns one, sr a hundred, cows should feed International Stock Food every day. Make the test yourself weigh the milk you are getting now then feed International for a few weeks, and weigh again. Then you'll see how Inter- national Stock Food will make money for you.
