entire front was a mass Of embroidery
and open-meshed lace motives. There
was a square yoke of lace in front and

all the rest of the space was thickly
embroidered in a white hawthorn de-,
sign. The faintest green was sparingly
used in the stems, and the effect was
extremely artistic.

Help From the Past.

The great good Of reading history or
biography is to get a glimpse Of men
and nations doing their duty; the great
gain to be got from it is a deeper wor-
ship and reverence for duty rs the
king and parent Of all human life.
While it is good to walk among the
living, it is good also to live with the
wise, great, good dead. 1t keeps out
Of life the dreadful feeling of extern
poraneousness, with its conceit and de-
spair. 1t makes us know that God
made other men before He made us.
1t furnishes a constant background for
our living. 1t provides us with perpet-
ual humanity and inspiration.-Phillips

Of it, For the past fifteen years the
Canadian government has had engineers
at work taking the levels, measuring the
streams and locating reservoirs. From
such surveys 1t has been found that there
are 100000 acres of semi-arid land which
need irrigation occasionally If they are to
be used for farming. The government en-
gineers estimate that 100000 acres can
easily be reclaimed and that they will
have an unfailing supply of water from
the Saskatchewan and its tributaries If the
proper works are made.
The land of the Canadian Pacific scheme
lies in a solid block on both sides of the
railroad between Calgary and Medicine
Hat 1t is fiat or slightly rolling prairie
and IS now used for grazing. The strip
is 100 miles long, running back for some
miles ON each side of the track. The water
is to come from the Bow river, a beauti-
full mountain stream. 1t will be fed by
other rivers. which flow northward from
the United States through the Belly and
Bow into the Saskatchewan and thence
on to Hudsons bay.

OF two-horse wagons, at a ton to the

Altogether, 100000 cubic yards win have

Authorities Represa the People.

This 'scarlet first OF November will be
recorded in the history Of this country as
the baptism of blood" of the glorious Cd
constitution. From this incident began the
practice OF the strongest repressive meas
ures on the part of local authorities, who
understand that the new constitution VIII
cut the ground from under their feet. AS
a consequence the freedom of the press, so
heraIded in the imperial manifesto, has
become, In the hands of the administrators
of the old system, an excuse for stll
stronger and closer censorship. Many
newspapers have, since the proclamation,
been confiscated, the Offices closed and the
editors imprisoned. Their private lodgings
fave been searched and their homes
q ltted by the police.
the same rule applies to the guaranty
OF personal liberty by the manifesto and
also to religious liberty In the latter case
the authorities have prohibited the singing
of hymns In churches which have patriotic
tendencies, especial mention being made OF
the old hymn beginning with the words
sBoze cos Polske," which las been trans
ated into English by the late Paul sobo-
swsld Of Chicago. the hymn beginning;
10. Lord, thou has to Poland lent thy
night
AND with Fathers strong protecting
his. given fame and all its glory bright
And through long ages saved our Father
We chant at thy alters our humble strain.
o. Lord, make the land Of our love free
again"
This hymn closes with the words:
20. Lord. who rules Ger all the wide
At thy command we raised from dust
may be
II in the future we deserve thy wrath
Turn us TO dust-but let that dust be
free"
And this hymn. Notwithstanding the inn
perial constitutional manifesto. is abso-
lutely prohibited because there is a prayer
In Il for freedom. and that freedom would
mean the end OF the rule OF despotie and

Liberty of speech has met the same des-
tmy. Those who have freely expressed
