Of 1887 that he made his mark, when
as Chief Secretary for Ireland, he used
what force he could control to crush
opposition in Ireland, and cynically
sneered at the Home Rule members in
Parliament. He led in the prepara-
tlon of the Conservative Home Rule
legislation.
In 1891 he was chosen Conservative
leader in the Commons and took the
place of First Lord of the Treasury
in the Cabinet, which he holds in this
Cabinet, too. He has written books on
philosophy and theology, on bimet
allism and on golf. He is unmarried.
Though his first appointment was
regarded as a gross piece of nepotism,
Mr.. Balfour more than justified it by
the ability and executive grasp he has
shown.
The selection of Mr.. Balfour means,
probably, that there are to be no seri,

Japanese Folded Fan.

Though the japanese folded fan is a
common object in this country, little is
known of its manufacture, says the
London Express.
One of the largest factories IS at
Kyoto, where an average of 100000
fans yearly are turned out. Spain is
the principal customer for the Kyoto
fans, Italy coming next in importance
and then America and Mexico.
The fans are not at all easy to
manufacture. AS many as eight diff
ferent workmen are required to make
single frame, while before the fan is
finished 1t has to pass through the
hands Of no fewer than ten people.

left her with the promise that the
saddle and bride should be returned.
A few days after letter was
brought by Boer to a blockhouse to
say that If the English commandant
would send out beyond the British
lines, the sisters horse and property
would be restored. He did so, and
everything was found as stated, to-
gether with a letter explaining that
the two men had been compelled to
take the horse, as they thought that
the sister suspected their nationality,
and they feared she would ride at
once to the nearest blockhouse and
report their whereabouts. They had
therefore, in order to secure their
own safety, to choose between taking
her with them beyond the block
houses or the confiscation of her
horse, and they chose the latter as
probably less repugnant to the sis.

Demand Clear Heads.

The campaigns carried on by the tenn
perance organizations may have been
effective in their way and may have &C
complished much good, but their work
counts for little in comparison with that
of the great business organizations.
These have lately paid considerable at
tention to the habits of the men employ
ed by them in various capacities, and are
constantly formulating more stringent
rules relative to the use of liquor.
An illustration of this tendency is
found in the recent action of the Burling
ton Railway company. In common
with most railroad companies the Bur-
lington long since established ban on
the use of intoxicants by such of its en-
ployes as were in anywise concerned
with the operation of trains, not only
while on duty, but when off duty as well.
This rule within few days has been ex-
tended to include all employees of the
road, in all departments, including track.
building and bridge departments. The
rule, as printed in the new book of rules,
reads: "The use of intoxicants by en-
ployes while on duty is prohibited. Their
habitual use or the frequenting of places
where they are sold is sufficient cause for
dismissal"
The propriety, and in fact the abso-
lutte necessity. of prohibiting the use of
liquor by trainmen, by men in dispatch
ers' Offices, switch tenders, and all en-
ployes occupying places of responsible
ity connected with the running of trains
is universally recognized. The safety of
the travelling public is at stake, and it
demands clear heads and alert senses.
In other kinds of employment employers
have not heretofore felt called on to de-
mand total abstinence, but the tendency
today in all branches of business is
toward greater strictness. In these days
of sharp competition an employer is en-
titled to the very best energies of those
who work for him. and the man who
brings to his work mind ,befuddled
with liquor or body weakened by dissi-
patton is not capable of performing the
service that is expected of him, and en-
ployers, if they issue no mandates in the
case, protect themselves by retaining the
abstainers and eliminating the drinkers
when changes are made. There is no
use in drinking mans applying for a
position on the force" said Detroit po-
lice commissioner the other day. "He is
not likely to grow any better. and may
grow worse. 1t will be of no use for the
friends of such man to urge his ap-
pointment." This illustrates the prevail
ing sentiment among employers of every
class. and young men in particular, who
are at the opening of their careers should
take notice of it.

These statements are rude shock
to our provincial complacency. Oul

the fact that we lead the civilized coun

far behind Japan, Switzerland and Hol-
