Ice Cream Now Made IN a Minute.

1 have an Ice Cream freezer that will
freeze cream perfectly in one minute /;
as it is such wonder, a crowd will al
ways be around, so anyone can make
from five to six dollars day selling
cream, and from ten to twenty dollars
a day selling Freezers, as people will
always buy an article when it is
demonstrated that they can make
money by so doing. The cream is
frozen instantly and is smooth and
free from Jumps.
I have done so we'll myself and have
friends succeeding so well that felt
it my duty to let others know of this
opportunity, as l feel confident that
any person in any locality can make

after all, 1t is the underlying existence
OF enthusiasm rather than its outward
manifestation that is of value. No
scholar ever achieves greatness if not
enthusiastic in the pursuit of the end he
has set out to reach. Enthusiasm is con-
dltioned upon the formation and ardent
pursuit of an ideal. The great danger in
the lives of many lies in the loss OF
ideals, in cynicism and in discourage
ment. Three ideals at least ought not to
be lost: First, the artistic notion of life
enthusiasm to make that life perfect
should never be permitted to degenerate
into the artisan or commercial spirit,
which regards life as merely the oppor-
tunity to get so mach wages. The maa
who makes the best possible use of each
day of his life is an artist no matter what
hi occupation may be. A second aud
powerful ideal is truth. Truth is the
prime necessity of life. 1t demands abb
solute honesty, and this not only in the
man OF affairs, but in the scholar and the
controversialist. 1t demands perfect
control of our lives; the following of
truth leads to life that is worth the liv-
ing Truthful living of course includes
truthful thinking and speaking. Truth
is not luxury, but a necessity, if we
would keep close to reality. 1t is not
only the most beautiful thing in the
world, but the most useful The third
and last ideal is that of the embodiment
of truth in human society. This is an
ideal not to be reached in the lifetime of
any one of us, but it is not unattainable.
These three ideals were those which
animated Jesus Christ and we may all
possess them and be led by them to per-
feet lives. Every life thus governed has
all the forces of the universe at its com
mand and every life otherwise controlled
is bound to be a failure.

STILL Ar ODDs.

The failure of the representatives OF
the Manitoba government and the OF
tawa ministry to reach any agree
ment on the school question was not
only fofeseen, but Inevitable. Each
side has taken a position so decided
that 1t cannot retreat. To us, who are
familiar with the idea that the bust
ness of public education should be dis
ISOLATED absolutely from any Sec
tartan control. the offer of the Mani
toba government seems reasonable. 1t
proposed what very few communities
in the United States would be willing
to grant, namely, that certain period
should be set apart each day for re-
ligious exercise and teaching. This
should be conducted by clergymen of
different denominations, representing
the faiths Of the parents whose chill
dren attended such public institutions.
In this way all sects could have their
share in the opportunities offered to
impress their beliefs upon the children
of their charge. Such a proposition
has occasionally found favor in some
cities Of the United States, and rep
resents the extreme limit to which any
Of our people would be inclined to go in
admitting religious instruction to the
public schools. This proposition, how
ever, the dominion government refused
to accept Nothing but the restoration
of UNCONVENTIONAL schools, though in
modified form, would satisfy it; and
the people Of Manitoba have declared
positively against that. The difference
between the two is therefore as irrecon-
cilable as ever, and the conference has
closed.
1t seems singular to us that this
should be the only result of an attempt
at harmony where the ultimate out
come is so clear. If the present
situation is maintained unchanged,
the gap between Manitoba and the
federal authorities must widen and
deepen. The Ottawa government can
not possibly accomplish it's object with
out resort to force, and no party in
the dominion dreams Of that. Mani
toba must remain contumacious and
rebellious province, and the confeder-
alton a nominal authority without
power to enforce the compliance upon
which it insists. An agreement seemed
to be SO necessary that most people be-
Heved that the Ottawa ministry would
accept the not unreasonable conces-
sion which the commissioners of Man
itoba had agreed upon. Now the issue
must be fought out, and there would
seem to be only one possible result.
