Prohibition in Canada.

TEMPER 18th. on the question of prohibition
was not referendum. That term annIias
only where specific measure already
acted on by the representatives of the neo-
pie. is submitted to the popular vote for
approval
In Canada, the question submitted was
this: Are you in favor of the passing of
an act prohibiting the importation, manu-
facture or sale of spirits. wine, ale beer,
cider and all other alcoholic liquors for use
as beverages?''
This was the most comprehensive form
possible, and it anticipated that the
specific mention of cider would diminish
the affirmative vote among farmers but
the country districts voted generally for
prohibition, Notwithstanding.

Bees From the Philippines.

FROM the tnlcagO Tribune.
There is one race inhabiting the Philip
pines which will be a welcome addition to
American citizenship. and will be afforded
every facility and inducement to immigrate
to the United States and engage in the
skilled labor in which it has no peer This
is the giant East Indian honey bee, and
investigation OF it's work and immense ca
pacity for making honey and wax has in
terested the Department of Agriculture in
the consideration of an early effort to in
troduce 1t INTO the United States. Secre-
tary Wilson said in connection with the
proposed Importation of these bees to the
United States that a special appropriation
would be asked in his coming report to
Congress for the investigation of the bees
OF the world, and a swarm of the big
Philippine honeymakers would be brought
to America as soon as the question of their
value and the possibility of their acclimati-
cation have been fully determined. There
will also be an appropriation requested for
the study of the agricultural and kindred
products of the newly acquired territory of
the United States, and even under this
head the great honey bees of the east
could be introduced by the department to
this country.

POOR FIELD FOR PROPHETS.
Eccentricities and Cnprices of the
Temperate Zones.

Frcm Notes and Queries.
Our so-called temperate latitude doubtless
affords us more interest through their ex-
cessive caprices than would latitudes either
tropical or polar. But often their irregu-
larities are SO marked that the memories of
the oldest inhabitants of this or that town
are taxed to little or no purpose in order to
parallel the cold, the heat, or the force
of the wind, or the rainfall. And If we
take a group of years and examine their
extraordinary divergent types of character,
we may be tempted to look upon our tenn
perate' climates rather in the digit of
ISL fncensed points 'twiXt mighty oppo-
Sites, and the British Isles perhaps as the
center of the intensest quarrel. For here,
within brief memory, one has known the
Holsters and crabs killed in the sea by cold :;
one has experienced drouths that have cost
millions of money, and one has known an
Atlantic gale to burn up with crust of
salt the horse chestnut leaves over the en-
tire island.
Nowhere in Europe ara the chances so
great against the weather prophet;
where is SO much speculation about the
weather. Judging vaguely from the past,
maybe we have ground for expecting that
about three times in century the Thames
will be frozen over at London bridge; but
that consummation is synonymous with an
irtense degree of continuous frost which
will not be confined to Britain, for of late
years it has become patent that these areas
of extreme temperature are very extensive,
and that when there is an excessively cold
winter in England and France, even Italy
is often included. l can recollect in the
winter of 1881 seeing the Arno at Florence
being skated upon, and icicles like pro-
dgious portcullis hanging from the Ponte
Necchio, some Of which We're seven and

And valor dwells, robbed of the thorn of hate;

MACDONALD AT OMDURMAN.
Put Forward az the Real Hero of the
Hattie.

Frcm the London Telegraph.
By far the finest feature of that morning
of battles was the action fought by Col.
Macdonald with his brigade. The Dervish
forces that sought to crush him numbered
fully 10000 men. To oppose them he had
four battalions. or in all less than 5000
Soudanese and Egyptian soldiers "
But chief of all was Macdonald going
hither and thither and issuing his orders
as if on parade, with a sharp snap to each
command. Steady as a gladiator. with
what to some of us looked like inevitable
disaster staring him in the face, Col. Mac
donald fought his brigade for all It was
worth. He quickly moved upon the best
available ground. formed up. wheeled about,
and stood to die or win. He won practical
ly unaided. for the pinch was Ill but over
when the camel corps, hurrying up. form
ed upon his right. he faced about to re-
ceive Sheikh Ed Dins onslaught. The Lin
coins. who arrived there later on. helped to
hasten the flight of the enemy, whose re-
pulse was effected ere they or any of
Wauchope's brigade were within twelve
hundred yards of Macdonald. Lewis bri-
gade was not even able to assist as muct.,
and such outside help as came in time to
be of use was from the guns of Major Viii
hams and another battery, and Maxim;

that thrilling ten minutes. Had the bril-
ilant, the splendid deed of arms wrought
by Macdonald been done under the

armies, he would have boon created a ger
