Canada'S Exclamation.

OTTAWA, July 2G.-With regard to the al
legged determinations which the Dominion
government is charged with having made
against United States vessels, ports and cIti-
zens in the use Of Canadian canals, which
subject is now engaging the attention of
Congress, Mr.. Bowel, minister of customs,
stated to correspondent in Ottawa yester-
day that the Dominion government had con-
sidered the matter carefully, and had within
the past few days forwarded, through the
British minister at Washington, full ex-
PLANTATION of the use, for the information of
the government OF the United States, which
he believed would be satisfactory.
In his last report the minister of inland
revenue states that, in compliance with the
request of the forwarders and shippers of
Montreal, the reduction of tolls on grain was
made. In their request these forwarders and
shippers showed that by making this dis
elimination or reduction of tolls a large vol
ume of traffic, which was then going to the
seaboard through the United States chan
nels. would be divered to the ST. Lawrence
and Montreal route. The treaty clearly pro-
yides that the British government will urge
upon the government of Canada the use of
the Welland and st. Lawrence and other ca
nels in the Dominion to citizens of the
limited States on terms of equality with the
inhabitants of the Dominion.

Graphic Description of Mrs. Van
Cott,s EIouuence-

Extracts from the Old Orchard Ramblerl
The last day Of Mrs. Van Cott was glo-
rious one.
At 1890 the people adjourned to the pleas
ant grove and drank in the aroma of the
pines while listening to the musical flow of
Maggie Van Colts words.
Mrs. Van Cott, selecting her text from
John X: 8, 81 am the door, by Me If any en-
ter he shall be saved"
The horrors of hell, with all the included
agonies, to which the frequenter is sub
jected, were wildly pictured. So powerful
were the words that the saved audience
turned in disguest from the sulphuric fumes
that seemed to issue from the bottomless pit
At the close of the morning services the
Rambler was called aside by Mrs. Van Cott
and her experience with Bob Ingersoll re-
lated. The words of Colonel Ingersoll in re-
lation to Mrs. Van Cott are doubtless well
known to all, as spoken in schoolboy's fit
of jealousy, and instead of tending to injure
her work in New York, they gave her more
power and influence.
The moon rose slowly from the horizon.
and seemed to worship the christian worker
as she stood before the vast audience and
proclaimed the healing powers Of Christ and
the truth of the Bible. Nobel That is no
expression to use in connection with this
mighty speaker.
As she entreated the young, the middle
aged and the elderly to forsake sin ana 1ol-
low the true living, she was powerful, mag
netic, awful yet grand. She was witty,
sarcastic, ironical and wonderfully IN earn

his interesting occupation and customers. He
remarks, with more truth than credit to the
age. that"the ideal Greek figure would be re-
garded as a monstrosity nowadays and also,
and certainly as truly, that ''our model wonld
have made all Athens roar" He gives the
following as good model for an Amenican
girl" =
Height, feet 41a inches bust, SO inches waist
221s inches length of back, is inches; of front.
13i2 inches; Dleeps, IL "a inches, tapering down
TO GA inches at the waist. The weight ought not
to be over $50 pounds nor under 125 pounds.
He says that, ''if only American girls could
be induced to take little more active exer-
else out OF doors they would be the models
OF the modern human FORM" A word to the
wise is sufficient. How many does the Am
erican girl need?
