LETTER TO ". J. BEECHER.

Dear Sir. What would be the result OF
selling POOR paint with this guarantee
"If you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, OF here
after in the wear, tell your dealer about it.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
That means pay damages, don't it?
Here's another guarantee:
"If your state chemist finds this paint
adulterated, we will pay his bill, and
send you $780,"
We stand by both of these guarantees
as We are the maker, we know all about It,
Yours truly, r. W. Devoe & Co.

which now making itself
srnanifs sst, iss sthatof arousing all
the latent hostility to British
rule ia Canada that has long
been growing among the
yEEench population in Quebec
SibIincs. The recent mutter-
singepf possible Anglo French
Iconflict have also served to ag-
grayate the anti British senti-

the desire among French Cana
cans for the. independence of
Cesada. The dream of the
great majority of the French
Canadians 10 not now that, of
erecting a new France On; the,
banks of the st. Lawrence, but
it is that Of establishing an
other independent state in the
continent of America. Not only
is the agitation for Canadian
independence promoted and
strengthened in Quebec by the
war, but the conservative party
in Canada is industriou5ly ex-s
plotting the situation tofurther
its party aims. " ~ VI
The dispatch Of. the second
Canadian contingent to South
Africa, with the. possibility
that other contingents are to
follow is exciting increased re-
bellion against the government
in the province of Quebec.
Anti-Britisfl sentiment is no
longer repressed, but finds vent
in unmistakable language
through the columns Of the
French press and by the public
utterances of the French mem
bers Of parliament and leaders
of public opinion on both sides
of politics in that province.

same arguments were 81 s d uised
that are now enpio yedis So. il
was before 100, when enthu-
siasts had medals struck il
honor of either view, and "a il
was in 1900. In earlier cent
ries the fact that printing was
a new invention, OF had not
been invented, limited the dis
cussion to oral debate, ,Sor, what
is more likely, men in general
were content to accept the one
Church's view of the matter
without troubling their own
heads about it.
The only mathematics In
volved in the question il
whether q century means a
hundred years of not. The rest
is merely a question of his
torical facts. The problem is
not whethersthere might, could
or should shaxe been q, year.o in
the computation ST years, but
whether the persons who in
troduced the present universal
system of counting years from
the birth Of Christ used such a
year or it's equivalent. The.
mathematical side of the
dispute has already been put
clearly in the Sun. To that ex-
position may be added the one
given by Camille Flarnmarion,.
the French astronomers, in the
Annales litteraires ct politi-
ques: "The problem is pretty
simple. "A Ten is composed of
ten units; the number ten
forms part of the Ten. A Hun-
dred is composed Of 100 units;
The number one hundred forms
part of the Hundred. Now,
there was no year 0 in the
Christian era; the first year Of
the era is the year 1. What
ever date or particular moment
of time be accepted as the beas
ginning of the Christian era.
there has been no year Q.
Therefore, the first year is the
year 1, the tenth year the year
10 and the hundredth year of
the first centuryis the year 100.
That was the method followed
when the French Revolution
created new calendar; it did
not imagine a year o, but called
it's first year the year 1. What
seems to deceive some minds,
probably superficial at least in
so far as chronology is con-
cerned, is the change of the
first two figures,the figures do
mating hundreds, in the mum.
bers 1899 and 1900, 1899 and
1900, etc. We pass with these
a"99" years from II to 18 and
from f8 to 10. That is true.
But ,fh9ra is~ no. difference in
that from wsiatsxs do when we
pass from the number q to the
number 10, from the number
SO to the number 100, that is,to
the completion of the Ten and
of the Hundred in the decimal
system. A Ten goes from to
10, a Hundred from 1 to 1OO."-
