But in cer- tain selected, sorcalled healthy districts of E gland and Wales this reduction is not accomplished until after twenty- nine years in the case of males and twenty-seven in the case of females. The contrast is even more greater in case of a single city. Thus, in the township of Manchester, which in, cludes only the well-populated section of the city, 100 000 males are reduced to 63,326 in 5 years and 100,000 females to 66,323 in the same time. Bat in the healthy districts of Man. chester this reduction is not accom- plished until the age of 50 among m' les and the age of 48 among. females Whence it is fair to conclude that the general manner of life and condition of poverty or comfort are much more im. portant factors in the problem of life than mere locality. Many women become so engrossed with the cares of home and children as to forget the outside world, and they let their children outgrow them, and their husbands must find other counsel: lore and companions, because they have failed to keep pace with them. This is a. great) mistake, and no woman should let her life be so crowded that in it she can find no time for mental growth and improvement. It is a duty she owes to herself, and by spending even a few moments each day, she can do something in the line of "keeping up to date," and the result will more than repay the effort. When husband and children come to look upon the mother as a household drudge, a. mere machine to minister to their wants,her infhusnee is gone, and with it much of her opportunity of doing good-Pres. byterisn Banner.

It is almost alone in England can be brought out clearly in public statistics, for it is on- ly in E\gla.nd that the leisure class, so called, is euffieiently large for the comparison to be made.

A Great M1stalre, For over Fifty Years In c:ncluding Mr. MtCsrdle told his several hearers something .of the farm life in Quebec. He is a very observing young man and has gained a large fund of information during the few days he was in that Province. From Quebec City to Se. Anne de Beaupre, a distance of about 21 miles, is an unbroken row of farms and farm- houses. These farms are strips of land between twenty and thirty rods wide and two miles long, the houses and barns being built close to the road and the highway has the appearance of a long street in a city. The farmers there are away behind what they are here, he said. They use nothing but carts, and he did not see afour-wheeled wagon all the time he was there. They use carts to draw in their hay, and the hay is cut with single horse mowers, rolled into great bundles, tied with a rope woven out of the hay itself and in that way taken from the field, ‘They are a funny lot of farmers,' he said in conclusion, as he left to board the 11.10 G.T.R. train to Berlin, 'and far, far behind the times.’ A farmer sold a load of corn in a town one day, When it was weighed he slyly stepped on the scales, and then drove off to unload. When the empty wagon was weighed he took care not to be in it and congratulated him. self that he had cheated the buyer in good shape. The grain dealer called him in and after figuring up the load, paid him in tall. The farmer saw that he had indeed sold himself in one sensce at least. He acknowledged his cheating and com- promised the affair, Now when he market! grain. he does not stand on the scale! or 5611' himself with his load, "Yes, there are several relies there," answered Mr. McCardle. "The church is a very old one. In 1632 Sb. Anne appeared in it, and the old building is still standing, though of course repaired codsiderably. A new church has also been put up, and service was oontiuu. ally going on in it all the time I wrs there." “I believe there are two relics of St. Anne in the chapel, are there notl- one a notable fragments ofa finger bone, of St. Anne, placed there by Mommigneur de Laval in 1760, and the other presented to the church in 1880 by Rev. Father Charmetant, a fragment of rock extracted from the room of St. Anne in Jerusalem," sxid the scribe. As the farmer buttoned up his coat to go out, the buyer asked him to smoke with him and then talked over the price of hogs and the crops, and the likelihood Cot the Maple Valley Railroad building up that way, until the farmer fairly squirmed in uneasi- ness about his chores at home. At: last: he could stand it no longer, and said he mush go. The dealer quiet- ly said that it was not to be thought of; that he would insist on doing what he pleased with his own property. A medical gentleman who was among the listeners suggested that the major- ity " the diseases cured at the shrine were of a nervous character, and not those where the tissues or the bones, of the body were affected, Mr.McCardle, however, differed from him, recounting instances of really astonishing cures of chronic diseases. Galt Reporter ', A great deal of int- erest ia being taken by people all over Cmadu in the annual pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Amie at Beaupre, Qoebec, not only because of the 51350- cmtions which cluster about this fam- ous chapel, but because of the wonder. tal cures which are said to have been wrought there by the exercise of simple faith in the intercessory powers of Saint Anne. "Yes,I saw quite a number. A little girl, I remember, walked painfully into the church a crutches. When she went out she left her crutches at the altar, not requiring them any more. Another man I saw who came in with his arms tstiffened at his side so that he could not raise them. He was instantly cured and went out swinging his arms. Another case, and one which came more under my per- sonal observation than any of the others, was that of a little boy who was ruptured and had to wear a truss. I was acquainted with his father and knew the extent; of the lad's disease. He touched the relics of St. Anne and was cured instantaneously, so much so that he left his truss behind him as he left the church. The next day there was not the slightest trace of his trouble left. Mr Joseph MoOardle, cf Wellesley Township, near Linwood, was in Galt on Tuesday morning for a. few hours on his way home after visiting St. Anne de Baaupre. He was calling on an old schoo!mabe and was seen for shout ten minutes by a Reporter man. A Visitor to St. Anne Speaks of the Famous Shrine.

Professor Robertson Doing a. Good Work in England. London, July 28.--Profosisor Robert. son is booming Canada daily in the English journals and is also taking up a decided line in favor of the preferen- tial tariff. He suggests in the St. James’ Gazette to-day that a. duty on wheat of 2 shillings and 6 pence per quarter for a spetriiie and limited period of five years would not add one farthiug to cost of a four-pound loaf to the British consumer, while it would give an enormous impetus to wheat growing Canada and India. The money would come back to Britain for manufactured goods. _ of hardships had to be endured, com- bined with a great amount of personal risk, and the undesirable contact with "pitch". Now, thanks to the enter- prise and energy of the commander and the committee of the Conway, all this has been changed. Cadets can now pass direct from the schoolship on hoard many of the principal steamships as midshipmen to train for certified otheers in steam without paying prem- iums. They reoeise special considera- tion and treatment on board and are seldom absent from home more than a couple of months ata time, instead of years as formerly--- an inestimable advantage only to be realized by those who have gone through the mill of apprenticeship. The parchment certi- ficute of two years' service on the Con- way is reckoan by the board of trade as one year passed at sea. out of the four which are necessary to qualify for a second mate’s certificate. He says the Canadian public has been misled about a. supposed passion for Free Trade in the old country and he fuitig that influential men everywhere are quite ready to adopt their policy to the times and needs of uhe empire. Within the last few years a great change his come over the merchant: fleet; sailing ships are rapidly becom- ing extinct, steamships replacing them everywhere. When one of the former is lost or broken up, she is replaced by a steamship of the new tonnage rebuilt during the past year, according to Doyd's register no less Lhan 98 per cent) was of steamships, with the results that the number of apprentices carried has diminished from about 18,000 to 20,000. Formerlya boy destined to become an cffieer in the merchant ser- vice had to serve a lengthy term as apprentice on board a. sailing ship, where generally. Lectures upon divers inter. esting subjects are given weekly, be.. sides general instruction in some of the most useful and practical depart- ments of surgery and medicine. That physical training is not neglected can be seen by a glance at the cadets, whose robust and healthy aspect pro- claims their good condition. In addi- to the vigorous exercise of rowing, two fields have been provided for the practice of cricket, football and other outdoor games', while instruction in swimming is given daily throughout the greater part of the year. Every year a gold medal is given by the queen to the cadet who, in her opinion, possesses the qualities 'which will make the iiuest sailor and the further interest taken by her in the ship is shown by the fact that she gives a vearly prize of binocular glasses and £45 to the boys who compete for the naval cadetship. Besides these there are many annual prizes. A number of midshipmen in the Royal navy reserve are annually granted by the lords of admiralty, and appointments in the Bengal pilot service, in which the em- oluments reach to £1,200 per annum in the higher grades are awarded by the secretary of state for India. One of the strong featurea of Eag- Iandfa naval service is the education of young men for the merchant marine. The government takes this work in charge, turning out a. large number of graduates each year who are placed as midshipmen on merchant vesse's, and then work themselves up as others. This insures to the merchant: marine a constant supply of well-educated corn- petent men, and also gives the royal navy a reserve force to draft cfh'oers from in tune of war. Two school ships, one of them the humus old Nile, now tealkd the Corr. way, are employed for this purpose. These me under the immediate control of the Mercantile Marine Avaociation of Liverpool, but the lords of the admiralty exercise close supervision. The scheme of education carried out is general, besides being technical; English grammar, physics, geography, geometry, French, aritlurretio an} algebra thoding a place besides nautical astronomy, chart drawing, swimming, boxing, fencing and cutlass drill. Dar. ing nautical instruction“, as well as at all times when not in school, the pupils are under the commander and nautical staff, and are exercised in all the duties of a first class ship, in splicing, reefiug, furling, heaving the lead, the manage ment of boats and steam engines, and in How English Boys are Trained for the Naval Reserve.

Ot the amount $80,000 is invested in mortgages, $30,- 000 in deposit in the bank and the balance in real estate and cash. The Surrogate court fees amount to $182 55; the succession duties payable to the Government, $5,118. The property is disposed of as follows. A legacy of $1,000 is given to Duncan Kay, De- trait, formerly of Galt, second cousin of deceased; also $1,000 to Jas Kay, Detroit, formerly of Galt, another second cousin; Knox College, $1,000; Presbyterian church, foreign missions, $1,000; home missions, $1,000,- French evangelization, $1,000.

Last Sunday, around the whole defence line around Havana, there was a sham defence movement, in which the regular iufmtry and volunteer troops, all under command of General Arolas, participated.

Life without honor is a thousand times worse than death. It is impossible to ask the heroic Spanish army to lay down its arms without a struggle. The Catholic religlon does not enjoin upon its votaries such humility as tha'. Otherwise nations would be but the Playthings of those nations who do not believe in God. The right to repel force by force is not merely permissible; it is right; it is obligatory right. In this case it is all the more because the United States declared the war. It was a shame to surrender; and they did not give up their rights. They fought to the death. Mm A. McD. Allan Appointed Cana- dian Fruit Commissioner at the Paris Exposition. Mr. Alexander McDonald Allan, of Godericla, formerly of North E \sthope, has been notiiiod of his appointment as Fruit Commissioner of Canada at the Paris Exposition in 1900. He was born in 1844, on lot 37, con. 9, North Easthope, and 1s a son of the late Rev. Dsniel Allan. On reaching man- hood he travelled extensively through the United States, and on his return contributed many articles, on horticul- ture to the leading Canadian periodi- cals, and became editor and proprietor of The Huron Signal, where he gave the results of his rich experience. He was an early director and President of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Associa- tion, and was soon recognized as the leaning expert of American and Euro- pean fruits. In 1886 he was appointed Canadian Commissioner on fruits at the Colonial Exhibition in London, Eng, where he conducted the moat successful exhibition ever held in that line. This served to advertise Cana, dian fruits, and during that year he handled 100,000 barrels of apples, and made many successful shipments to Norway, Sweden, Germany and India. Five years ago he organized theImperial Produce Company of Toronto, and built up a large trade with England in Cmadian fruits. He is at present on the staff of lecturers employed by the Government to address hsrmeri insti- tutions on horticulture. Besiies serv- ing some time on the largest Cmadian nurseries he has made a thorough tour of the N.W.T. and British Columbia, organizing in the latter the Provincial Fruit Growers' Association, Mr, Allan is entirely devoted to horticulture and will worthily represent Canada at the Paris Exposition in 1000. He is a brother of the late Col, Allan, of the Queen’s Own R flisis, Toronto. Bishop Fputos Issues an Impassioned Appeal to Citizens of Havana. [By Associated Press.) Havana, July 28 --Tht, Bishop of Havana, Monsignor Manuel Santander y Frutos, has published a pastoral, that has been read in all the churches, in which he says that there are times when war is jusrifiable. The pastoral proceeds: The war which Spain is sustaining against the United States is a just war. Spain is doing nothing but defending her rights over this possession. When the United States provoked a war to take away Spanish property, what should a brave, proud and righteous people do? Should they give away their rights to a stronger or more populous claimant? Conscience arises against such injustice, and the appeal is to the justice of God. 'Neither the army nor the people is the authority to settle the issues in- volved. When the world goes forth tor resistance to invasion, all must obey without murmuring or without finding fault,' DEATH BETTER THAN DIS- HONOR- tte' = 3 A: V E ESR A ):Nsu, R' \v xi .

A recent town bylaw calls for the removal of veran- dahs and Eporches, which the town councillors believe mar the beauty of their streets. A Gait Hotel Proprietor Keeps an Army of otmtitus at Bay, Entrenched on His Verandah. Galt, July 28.-This morning John C. Caldwell, proprietor of the Central Hotel, and his son, A. C'. Caldwell, the noted sprinted, defied the Mayor, the town foreman and his men, and the entire police force. Caldwell had been ordered by the town to remove his ver- andab, which projects over the street. A week's grace was given, at the ex- piration ot which the town would take down the structure, Caldwell ignored the mandate, and at 7 o’clock this morning the town foreman and his men attempted to carry out the Couneil's instructions. Caldwell and his son re- sisted, and in the face of the Chief of Police, constables and the authori- ties cast off the ladder put against the verandah and dared the town to proceed. A second onslaught was made, with the result that Constable Cro.. marty’s head missed by six inches B heavy flower basket thrown from the top of the verandah by young Cald- well. Cromarty was next drenched with water from the same source. The defenders of the hotel had clubs, and things looken more tragic than comic when I, Cadwell’s solicitor appeared with an injunction granted by Justice McMahon. The police were ordered repeatedly by the Mayor to arrest the Caldwells, but they didn't obey. The motion pertsiningito the injunction will be argued at Toronto on August 2, and in the interim young Caldwell and a boarder will have to answer to a charge of aggravated assault. The ex- citement that prevailed this morning is noticeable yet, though _in a lesser degree. All Pollcles Guaranteed by The LONDON & LANCASHIRE FIRE INS. ao' with Assets of $15,000,000. W.
