Chicago. Oct. Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
premier of Canada, was yesterday for
mally welcomed to Chicago by the
French Canadians of the city at
meeting in Studebaker Hall. After he
had responded in French a man in the
center of the hall arose and asked the
speaker to say something in English.
In response the premier spoke as fol-

acting as British commissioner to en-
deavor to settle certain difficulties
which we had with our American
neighbors incidentally, l may say,
ladies and gentlemen, that even in the
best of families little quarrels some
times occur. and it so happens that at
this moment there are not what
would call a quarrel, but a number Of
difficulties, among them the Alaskan
boundary question. While endeavor-

was a government by law.
Let me say that l am a Canadian
l am British subject l have great
admiration for the American constitu-

this is a free country, where liberty of
speech prevails Therefore, If l had
had the pleasure of being able to

Justice Harlan. for he was the justice
to whom / referred, that the British
system of government is superior to
the American. But as has already
been said, Americans are governed by
law, and that being so we must obey
the law, and the law today is that l
am not to speak the English language,
but to speak it tomorrow"

The Pendulum.

BY a curious coincidence l had read
Poe's story of "The Pit and the Pen
dulum" that morning out under a tree
in Sussex, says Kenneth Herford in
the Detroit Free Press. "Get your
hat" said my host after luncheon,
land we'll drive owe to Rye" In that
quaint little old-world town, n of the
cinque ports of England, you remem-
Der, there stands a moss and ivy COW
cred church, tucked away between the
houses, and surrounded by the yard
filled with tipping, fitting tombstones,
from whose faces time has erased the
written words. 1t was inside this
church 1 saw the pendulum. l had
never thought Poe's affair could have
been genuine, but the Rye church pen
dulum is it's counterpart. The clock
to which it is attached hangs against
a beam away up in the arch. The face
is no larger than the bottom Of a pail,
but the arm of the pendulum stretches
down to within two feet of the peoples
heads. 1t must be t~wenty-eight feet
in length. AS it swings 1t marks an
arc of-the width of the nave by one
great swoop, like that of a huge bird.
The ticks of the clock r forty sec
onds apart and loud enough to break
up a political meeting. Tourists are
constantly visiting the old church Just
to see the pendulum, and the caretaker
told me that not n out Of ten Of
them but had been drawn there to con
firm the story Of Poe's pendulum.

The sohooiboy's Postscript.

When DR.. Temple (now Archbishop
of Canterbury was the headmaster Of
Rugby, a boy came up before him for
some breach of discipline, and the facts
seemed SO against the lad that he was
in imminent danger Of being expelled.
He had a defence, but being neither
clear headed nor fluent in the presence
of the head-master, he could not make
it clear. He therefore wrote home to
his father, detailing at length his po-
sisition and his explanation. His father
very wisely thought the best thing he
could do was to send the boys letter
as it stood to DR.. Temple, merely ask
ing him to overlook any familiarity Of
expression. Apparently the father had
not turned over the page and seen his
sons postscript, for there DR.. Temple
found the following words: IF I could
explain 1t would be all right, for
though Temple is q beast, he Is . just
beast" The bishop. In telling this
story, Is accustomed to cay that It was
one of the greatest compliments he has
ever received in his life.

K dian Cheese:

"0-
Hollanders have long been known a.
careful cheese makers. and Edam
tcheese.is a Holland specially. The
northern part of the little country Is
the seat of the Edam cheese industry
and great cleanliness and care is ex-
ercised in the making. The cheese is
made from fresh cows milk. AS soon
as curdled by the rennet, the whey is
drawn of and the curd kneaded' and
pressed into the ball-like molds until
quite dry. The ball is then wrapped
in a linen cloth and kept for ten days
or two weeks until quite solid, when
the cloth is removed and the cheese
put into salt I've. 1t is next put into a
vessel and washed with whey and
scraped to remove the white crust OF
salt. 1t is next carried into a cool
room and laid on shelves, where it
is turned regularly. Ripening Edam
cheese takes from two to three months,
the round balls assuming their fine
yellow or reddish color. Those cheeses
intended for export to this country are
often more highly colored by vegetable
dyes.
Among some of the commission men
in Chicago it is believed that the poul-
try crop of this year Is about the
same as that of the past year. There
Is believed to be considerable increase
Of turkeys, while chickens remain
about the same. Ducks and geese are
less in numbers. The cold and wet
spring is given as the general cause
of a not more abundant supply. The
supply of turkeys is put at possibly
Is per cent more than last year. TIT
cause for this is doubtless the good
prices that have been realized for q
few years past for good turkeys. There
has been no kind of poultry that has
brought the farmer more satisfactory
returns. But this condition in former
years was brought about by a short
age. Perhaps we may expect to see
turkeys moderate in price this season
when they really begin to come In
Chickens are not a large crop for the
same reason, that is, the moderate
prices, that have prevailed for some
time. The state of the market of pas
| years was the incentive for the chang
in kind of fowls being prepared to-
market. The same Is true OF thu
shortage in ducks and geese. In fac
we may expect to see these changes
60 on from year to year. The wis'
course among poultrymen would seen
to be to change less and catch the htgl
market oftener.

HANGED ron BURNING COAL.
Strange Law Which Was in Force
in England in 1900.


There will be an interesting function
In London shortly when the coal ex-
change celebrates it's jubilee. The oc-
casion is II for recalling strange rem
~iniscences; for as lately as the four
teenth century a prohibition was issued
against the burning Of coal, with Sc
we're penalties decreed against any per-
son who warmed his house by a coal
fire. In the early days of Lord Mayor
Wilmington the burning of coal was
considered so great a public nuisance
that it was made a capital ~offcnse, and
one man was actually hanged for in
dulging in a coal fire. AS a matter OF
fact, this ordinance was never re-
pealed; but in "Dick" Whittington's
third mayoralty it is evident there was
q great trade in coal; and the sug-
gestion has been made that as coal was
brought to London in boats known as
the ~"cats," this was the real origin Of
the story Of Dick Wilmington and his
cat. The coal exchange, however, Is q
modern institution. 1t is also n OF
the most important of London's marts.
Under the shadow of it's dOmed roof
commercial transactions are daily car
ried through of greater value than In
connection with any other mercantile
building in the world. Unlike the corn
exchange in Mark Lane, it is not a pri-
| vate concern, but is a city market con-
Quoted on the same principles as the
other markets opened by the city cor
poration. Opened with much ceremony
in October, 1s49. by the prince consort,
the present building is Just about to
celebrate it's jubilee. But the market
itself is older than the Building. Up
to 1907 it was in the hands of private
individuals, but in that year it was
purchased by the corporation for
f25 ,GOO.-London Times.
