yersal Fishermen will not work for
less than q cents, while Gamers say they
might as well close up business as at

This afternoon mass meeting was
held. when 200 fishermen were present.
They all agreed to hold out for % cents,
and go Indian fishermen agreed to do
the same.
The secretary of the japanese union,
which includes $3.50 men. was sent for
three times and finally had to bring
him to the meeting by force. The Japa-
nese secretary unwillingly agreed 10 the

England and Civilization.

Those who can see far enough into the
future civilization are convinced by the
experience OF the past that the prevalent
influence of England. rather than that
OF any other of tho European powers,
with It's inevitable consequences of the
hcredity OF the Notwithstanding races.
would be for the benefit of the race at
large; that wherever she has gone indus
trial and human interests are growing
and ripening not only for our race. but
for all races Of man; that wherever she
has acquired a dominating Influence the
DEMENT'S to humanity are manifest She
has done more. she has succeeded where
others have failed. Egypt and the Strait
settlements, to cite instances OF COM
mon notoriety, are two Illustrations
which are living examples OF her skin;
in these England established peace. and
the way to material prosperity has been
made clear. The most convincing argu-
ment of the thoroushness of a nations
work In colonization is found In the con-
tentment of tha subject people, and when
this content and love manifest them
selves in the substantial offers OF aid to
the mother country during the period OF
a great crisis. all doubt should be re-
moved. The overwhelming majority OF
Canadians Of both parties approve Sir
wilfrid Laurier'r action In assisting
Great Britain In this war. The same may
be said OF the Australssian colonies. All
tho colonial governments have offered
troops for service In South Africa. and we
can see here no Indication anywhere Of
popular disnpproval OF that course. The
colonial pariiaments, or all OF them who
have had anything TO say upon the SUBJ
teet have enthusiastically approved OF Il
without any division on party lines, which
Is more than can be said OF the British.
These voluntary actions BY these colonies
are more convincing OF the great work
wrought by England than any number Of

The Care of Hair Brushes.

There is really an art in the proper
washing of hairbrushes. If the bris-
ties are allowed to become soft, n hair
brush becomes practically useless.
Many people cleanse hairbrushcs
by covering them with wheat
en- -four and simply rubbing the bris-
ties together. This method, however,
is not thoroughly satisfactory. To
keep your brushes in good condition
proceed i'm the following manner: Have
two shallow dishes, one of moderately
hot and the other of cold water. To
the first dish, which contains, say, n
quart of water, add n dessertspOOnful
of ammonia.
Now take your brushes one by one
and keep dipping the briStles up aud
down in the water (being careful not
to wet the backs and in a minute
or two the dirt and dust will come out
Of them as if 10y magic. leaving them
beautifully white. Now dip up and
down several times in the second dish
containing the clear water. to rinse
them: shake well and place 10 drain
across a rack or towel horse. No
soap Is needed and no rubbing with
the hands. If you adopt this method
Of cleansing your brushes you will
find that they VIII last three times as
long as IL cleansed with soap and that
the bristles will preserve their stiff
ness
