American market closed to them,
than they found a new and more
profitable one in England, where
there is a ready remunerative sale
for their produce of every kind.
And there is no more independent
man in Canada to-day, for the
amount of money invested than the
farmer. Who will succeed him is
a question to be solved in the
future, although many go, many
also stay. Stock raising is more
profitable than grain growing in
Eastern Canada, and no doubt a
class of farming more in accord
ance with the tastes of the rising
generation.
fail to see reasons for or signs
of inevitable annexation. There
are many men of high social and
commercial positions who openly
assert they would vote for an
nexation tomorrow, but most
of these are actuated by sell
fish motives. Whether Canada
would be benefited by annexa-
ton does not enter into the ques-
ton, nor do | care to give an opin-
ion, but my experience leads me
to feel that although our people
entertain the most cordial feelings
of friendship, confidence, and res
pect for their cousins across
the line, yet the very great
majority are loyal to the English
Crown, and are, too, both happy
and prosperous. So much for On
tario.
In the province of Quebec, the
case is somewhat different. The
rural population here are entirely
French. These people are ex-
tremely prolific, very healthy, and
live to a great age, therefore their
numbers are increasing rapidly.
By French law, if a man dies in
testate all the children share
equally in his property and the
farm, if such is the character of his
estate, is cut into as many portions
as there are children, giving each
share a frontage on the concession
line. AS result of this, the main
roads through Lower Canada are
lined on either side with small farm
houses, each standing on a mere
strip of land. 1t is not difficult to
see that such subdivision must
end somewhere. Many of the farms
to-day are not over three hundred
5000 feet wide, although a mile
and a quarter long.
Hitherto the growing population
has been pushing its way into
Western Quebec, buying out the
English-speaking people, and driv-
ing them westward in turn. Now
that they have secured almost the
whole province, a large portion OF
the overplus are moving over to
the neighborhood of Troy, N. Y,
where they have already quite a
large colony. Mr.. Thlbaldan is
right again when he says the
Roman priests are greatly exercised
over this emigration. They natur-
ally, and for a great many reasons,
wish to keep these people at home,
but with the march of the times
and education they are losing their
influence, and in the face of their
protestations the population is pass
ing over to the American manufac-
turing centres, where they are
priced as workmen and respected
as citizens. I should not like tC
vouch for the French Canadians
loyalty to England. In my humble
opinion, we shall have to quell q
rebellion of these people long before
annexation becomes a serious ques
ton. On the whole, Canadians are
satisfied, and think they have {
bright future ahead.
Yours truly,

Mr.. EDITOR: SIR-In your issue
of yesterday observe the report of
an interview in Chicago between a
member of the Chicago press and
Mr.. III. Thibaldan, an ex-member
of the Canadian parliament, in
which the latter states that the an
nexation of that country to the
United States is inevitable, owing
to the wholesale exodus of Cana
dams, chiefly caused by the heavy
taxation endured by the farmer. 1
do not suppose Canadian politics
are of much interest TO your read
ers. At the same time, as Cana
dian, [ do not like to see such re-
port in the public press unchal-
lenged, or at least unexplained.
Mr.. Thibaldan, to say the least
of it, exaggerates the case and is
misleading. There is some truth
in what he says about many of our
people moving to the states. A
great many no doubt are seeking
employment there, where there is
more work to be had, salaries are
higher and promotion is more rapid
than in Canada. Is it not so every
where? VIII men not always go
where they think they can better
their circumstances? But the ex-
tent of the exodus is by no means
alarming" as he states, nor is the
country being "depopulated." 1t
is the overflow from our congested
cities that is seeking a new home
in the great American centres,
where it can find the employment
that we cannot give it, and it is
better so.
Mr.. Thibaldan is right again
when he asserts it is chiefly
the farming class that are
leaving, but it is not the
farmer himself that is going, it is
the farmers sons and daughters
who, owing to a compulsory, and
may say lin my opinion) uniting
education, have conceived a dis
taste for rural occupations, ami
which has rendered them, if no
unsuited, at any rate unwilling t.
step into the shoes of their fathers
and mothers, and spend their lift
on the old homestead. The young
men will not take the pillow, ant
the young women will not ente
domestic service as in days gon,
by, but the great majority turn t.
the cities to become factory hands
dressmakers, clerks, school teach
ers, anything that will enable then
to enjoy the excitement of city lif
with the chance of rising in tn
social scale.
As a result of this, our cities
which are neither large nor numel
Gus, are over crowded, and there

women to make livelihood. OF

suRsTITurEs For CLOSETS.

A thrifty housekeeper, whose house
boasts of but few closets, has surmounted
the difficulty by having several boxes
made to slip under the beds. These are
made of the same size as the bed itself,
and are mounted on small wheels sunk
into the wood so that they may run easily
in and out. Although necessarily shallow
they hold a great deal, aud their great
advantage is that garments may be laid
in them at full length. One of these
boxes she has lined with camphor wood,
so that the winter furs are simply laid in
it an locked up. These boxes should be
carefully painted. Unpainted or uuvar-
nished wood should never be left in
bedroom, as the natural wood harbors
insects. White paint looks the best, aud
the box should have fresh coat once in
a while. There should be some arrange
ment on both sides of the box to pull 1t
in either direction. A tin-liued box is
also capital arrangement for the sea-
shore. In this may be stored away many
delicate garments; for this purpose there
is nothing nicer than box sofa, arranged
as a window seat. Prettily upholstered
and with big cushions they areVery orna-
mental and most useful.-St Louis Re-

The woman who can find any way OF
making dishwashing, if not o pleasant
task, at least less disagreeable one than
it II now, should be canonized by her
grateful sisters. 0ne woman, who has
spent much time in experiment In this
branch of household labor, makes the fol-
lowing suggestion:
''NothIng is better for cleansing
greasy dishes, especially cooking pans
and kettles, than an old whisk broom. It
removes the tenacious particles that have
fastened in the kettles aud spiders much
better than knife or au iron dish cloth.

DRUNKENNESS N GLASGOW.

John Burns, the labor representative
speaking in London the other day, said that
he had recently been in Scotland assisting
Mr.. Cunninghame Graham in his candidN-
ture and on the previous Saturday night,
when he ought to have been in bed, after
addressing a series of meetings during tie
day, he, in company with Mr.. Cunninghame
Graham and one OF the members of the
Glasgow University, walked about the
streets of Glasgow until = o'clock on the
Sunday morning. He had seen every phase
of life during the years he had been q public
man, but never had he seen such sights-no,
not even in the worst parts of the east end
of London-as came under his observation
on that occasion. They estimated that dur
ing the three hours they walkei about the
by-ways and back-ways OF Glasgow they
saw some 5OOJ persons--men, women and
children. OF this number 400 were blind,
speechlessly drunk. He knew perfectly well
what he was saying, that all these unfortu-
mates were scramblIng, lighting, cursng and
swearing ami making the place perfect
hell. Another 800 had hal more drink than
was good tor them, an | he was ashamed TO
say that OF the drunken persons thirty were
children under the age OF thirteen. On all
sides they saw public houses and shebsens,
aud, as matter of facr, in some quarters
there was one public house or sheoeen to
every sixteen houses. After such disgace-

They Cling to Custom.

Women are not permitted to sit in the
body of the Temple Church OF London,
because many hundreds OF years ago the
seats were reserved for the monkish
knights, for whom the church was
erected. Another story, illustrating the
tenacity of custom in European COM
munities, is that of the sentinel at a
certain point in public garden in Lon
don. Nobody knew why he was sta
toned at that particular point until some
one, delving in old records, discovered
that generations before a sentinel had
been placed to warn people off a newly
painted bench. Even European birds
seem tenacious of precedent. Migratory
birds do not cross the Mediterranean at
its narrowest point, but an examination
has proved that the point at which
many do cross was at one time the mar
rowest part of the sea.-Detroit Free

EVILS OF THE DRINKING HABIT.

Rev. j. d. Fulton preached last evening
at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, Twenty.
third street and Michigan boulevard. His
talk was mainly upon the subject OF temper.
ance Among other things he said:
1.-THE might of strong drink is seen every
where In our land. 1t is mightier than pub
lie opinion; it breaks every law of the dec
alogue. This country might appropriately
be called government of liquor sellers for
liquor sellers
Total abstinence is enjoined by Gods
word. l have seen even ministers in the
pulpit under its baneful influence, their
tongues thick and their senses muddled.
Look at Daniel Webster, one of the grandest
men the world has ever seen. What might
he not have done II the curse of strong
drink was not upon himf 1T biteth like an
adder says the Bible. How true the saying
is. Look around our streets and in our
homes. Even the women drink, and there
is nothing so terrible to see as a woman
drunk. A bartender once told me that his
saloon could not keep open a month II it was
not for the women's drinking. When a
woman is right all is right but when she is
wrong all is wrong. Strong drink never
hurts anybody that never touches it, so ths
best way TO reform is to reform. ."-Chicago

PERCHEs

Many people make a great mistake
when building houses, by placing the
perches in all conceivable directions.
The placing of the perches in all direc
tions, however, is not the mistake. When
the roosts are placed thus, the object gen
orally is to utilize space, and in fol-
lowing up this object some perches are
placed near the floor, while others may
just barely afford the fowls space enough
to roost between the perch and the roof
of the house. This is where the mis-
take comes in.
Have you ever watched your fowls
while they are preparing to roost9 If
you have, you could not fail to see that
all of them were anxious to get on the
top perch. After the fowls have selected
the place upon which they would settle
for the night, the observing poultry
raiser could not but notice how they are
packed on the highest perch, while the
lowest perch does not have single one
on it. The intermediate, that is, those
between the highest and lowest perches,
would have fowls on them which could
not possibly secure room on the upper
most one.
This is a fault which should be rene.
died. The number of birds to a house
is limited, to prevent overcrowding; yet
it is overcrowding in its worst form to
have roost packed with fowls. We all
know the evil effects of overcrowding,
and the clearer we steer from it the bet
ter. The only way of preventing this
erowding on the perches is TO have the
perches all on the same level. The
fowls will then have no choice, and will
accept the change. Even though the
perches do take up more room than when
arranged in haphazard way, it should
not bother the owner of the fowls. -

Our Illegal Motto.

1t is somewhat singular fact that the
legend ''E Pluribus Unum," which has
appeared on different coins of the United
States for more than hundred years
was never authorized by law, made legal
by act of Congress or any other body
having that power vested within itself.
Its first appearance on coin was in
1856, before the establishment of a
United States mint. At that time there
was private coming establishment at
Newburg, N. Y, and the well-known
motto was first inscribed upon a coin
struck at that "miut." 1t was a copper
coin of the value of about one penny, or
something near two cents. They are
now very valuable, and but few coin col
iectors can boast of possessing such
raTities.

A Title for the President.

The question, "What shall be the title
Of the President of the United States7"
according to the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crat, was one which elected no little
Ydiscussion among the members Of the
first Congress, and it is said that the in
auguration of Washington was delayed
several days by consideration and debate
as to what should be his title. ellis
Highness, the President of the United
States of America and Protector of Their
Liberties, was discussed and rejected.
ellis Excellcncy" was also proposed and
also rejected. After numerous sugges-
tions, it was finally decided that the
Chief Executive Officer should be Of
ficially known as the president of the
United States"
The title Excellency, as applied to the
President, was of later growth than the
time of Washington, who was greatly
relieved when Congress decided the ques-
tion by giving him no title, as he was
much in dread lest lofty title should
provoke envy and antagonism.

To get honey out of the honey.comb,
set the pieces of comb on sticks across
opening of an earthen pan aud leave them
to drain, fitting them to different angle
daily. The honey that runs out in this
way is perfectly clear and is always sold
at the highest price. When no more
drops from the comb, this is broken up,
laid on a piece or clean, coarse linen, and
twisted in an opposite direction by two
people. The running of honey is a slow
process and cannot be fastened, and iu
the meanwhile the syrup must be
thoroughly protected from dust aud in
sect. This can be done by fixing muslin,
tent-fashion, over the pan, its transpar.

meanwhile. OF course these directions
are only for those who raise honey in
small quantities; as for those who culti-
vate it for the market there are regular
appliances for such work, but there is no
