WHAT we should do in this country to show our true republication and contempt for monarchial forms is this: Give to the ministerial representatives of republics in Washington precedence over the representatives of kings and emperors. Let the representative of Great Britain or Germany trail behind the representative of Mexico or France or Switzerland. Let us show by our respect for republican institutions that we mean what we preach-a one of the cherished institutions is that min isters represent government by the people, not ambassadors.

Time to Water Animals.

At the farmers institute lately notice that the question was asked. When shall we water our animals before or after feedingg' Dr. Smeed said that the natural animal always eats first then drinks and he believed that we should water both horses and cattle after feeding. In replying to Mr. Powell he said he would not water a horse in the morning before feeding, and dropped the subject without giving any reasons therefor Would the doctor refuse 10 quench his thirst before eating his breakfast if thirstyP l think. not: neither would the horse refuse if he had his masters liberty ty-but he is compelled to submit to arbitrary rule and suffer from thirst.
 The doctors statement that the natural animal eats first then drinks. leads me to this conclusion-that man must be chased with unnatural ani- mals, from the fact that he does in many cases drank first and eat after

We know that with the laboring horses during warm or hot weather they become very thirsty after hard day work they are com pelled to eat dry hay and grain during the night; consequently they require a few quarts of water before feeding. and again at u reasonable time after.

EVER day we are told that we arc living too fast for our health. yet each tomorrow has a tendency to increase the pace. Where the evolution will cease it is impossible to foretcll. The pressure of life has increased enor- mously in the last quarter of cen tury. Every indication is that its growth will continue at least to keep pace with the adaptation of the human frame. if it does not outstrip it and lead to general collapse in the form of greatly lessening the average length of life and lowering the stan. dard of health.

MINERS GAINING SYMPATHY.
Scarcity of Fuel win Cause Many Large
Factories to Close.


LONDON, March 14.-The coal strike is
spreading, and has assumed dimensions
not hereto ofore apprehendea. The miners
of Lincolnshire have quit work, acting in
sympathy with the Miners Federation.
This action will make necessary the shut
ting down of the Appleby Mining COM
pany, the North Lincoln Mining company,
the Frodingham Steel and Iron company,
the Trent works, the Reborn Hill Iron
and Coal company, and several other
large firms in the North Lincolnshire iron
trade. Fuel is already scarce ir. the dis
tricts of these companies, and even if they
would, they could run on half time only
two weeks longer. The furnaces of South
Lincolnshire will be damped down, and
the manufacture of pig iron in that dis
trict will practically cease.
By this action alone, it is estimated by
the most conservative, that at least 100,-
600 men will be added to the great army
already out. Reports from Sheffield,
Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds show
a low stock of fuel which must result in
the stoppage of work in the factories in
case the strike continues more than week
or two. The price of coal is expected to
make another jump, so that even private
families will begin to suffer severely.
