The Holocaust in Canada.

The press accounts of the conflagra-
ton now sweeping over our neighbor
on the north should draw attention to
the danger inherent in a timber belt.
Throughout the northwest of this con-
tinent forest fires have been an an
nual occurrence; they were uniformly
traced to carelessness, but usually con-
fined within limited areas. Wanton
waste has characterized the settle
ments of that region. In Washington
and Oregon settlers TO secure a clear
ing of a few acres often started a fire.
Needless of their ability to control it,
Much valuable timber has been de-
stroyed in this manner in the immedi-
ate vicinity of Seattle, where the en-
ployment of a few men for a short time
would have saved a large amount of
this material Once started, the fire
ragged until it died out from hamilton.
Under such circumstances the ex-
pected has happened. The fire. gather
ing force as its volume increases, is
now beyond human control. What
could have prevented such a calamity?
Nothing, so far as human wisdom can
tell.
On the continent of Europe precau-
tons may be taken in forest preser-
vations on account of their limited
areas and the dense population sur
rounding them. In our timber belts
such precautions and the sparse pop
ulation forbids the expense necessary
for such supervision. Here all de-
ponds upon the individual dweller in
the forest and all that humanity can
be done is to warn him of the danger
of playing with fire.
AS We read of the number of vic
time dead in the flames, and of the
thousands of families rendered home
less with the Canadian winter before
the door, the whole world will be
novel with commiseration. The Can
adam government, no doubt, will ap-
peal for aid, and that appeal will meet
with generous response.
If the appalling holocaust will lead
to devise some means whereby these
destructive forest fires can be pre-
vented or controlled, the present dis
aster will serve a good purpose; but
in this case it is doubtful if the adj
vantage will bear any proportion to
the cost.

Death of Senator Allison.

One by one the old warehouses; sue
cumb as the sere and yellow leaf. They
have done their work, and the seats
SO long occupied by them, know them
Ao more.
Who shall tell the influence eXerted
upon man by time and circumstance?
In judging the dead and gone senators
of whom Allison was a far from con-
temptible type, the critics cannot af.
ford to overlook the grave and stormy
times when first he appeared in the
national legislative halls. The wonder
is that such men could and did grow
with the time when conditions and cir
cumstances submitted to a radical
change. The senate, grown into the
most exclusive club" in the country,
with it's seats pre-emptied by their for
tunate possessors, prided itself upon
conservatism which bordered upon
reaction and thus called for a just
popular criticism. Allison and his few
surviving colleagues were too old to
grasp the fact that the world moves
and that even such an august body as
the United States Senate is not exempt
from the assault of progress.
To such men it is a priceless boon
to die in harness, and before popular
reforms deprive them of their seat, and
>>be world is satisfied that they should
ave this reward for their service. Be-
fore the bier, criticism pauses. With
the pale corpse stretched out before
him, the spectator looks only upon the

HON. AdUe,1ising Pays.

From the Boston Globe.
There is nothing like advertising.
All newspaper advertising we'll repays
the advertiser. Whether times are
good or bad 1t is wise to advertise
When prices are low many have the
money with which to purchase. Mer
hcants appreciate this fact, hence bar
gains are the order of the day at pres
ent in all the stores.
When stocks were forced down last
winter in consequence of the panic the
low prices attracted attention all over
the country. The quotations were
printed so extensively in the financial
columns of the newspapers that hun
dreds of thousands of investors of
small means took advantage of the
situation and purchased outright-not
on marginal few shares of good divi-
dendpaying bonds. The publicity
. sold bonds and stocks, even though
the money market was in deplorable
state.
The public now reads more newspa
pers than ever before. There is scar
cely a man that does not purchase
several papers daily. He cannot over
look the advertisements. These at
tract his eye because of the handsome
Typographical makeup. Now, as in Ad-
dison's time, 1.-The great art of writing
advertisements is the finding out
proper method to catch the readers
eye"
This is accomplished most success
fully everywhere by trained lad"
writer's. These writer's do more than
build a pleasing advertisement-they
convey in it very valuable information.
1t would not do for them to tell I'm
truths, for they would be soon discov-
cred, their usefulness would be gone
and sales would stop. Hence. the ad-
vertisements in any well-regulated and
responsible newspaper can be regarded
as honest ones, behind which are firms
and men of excellent reputation and
financial means.
A company or merchant having any
thing to sell that is worth buying
makes a lamentable mistake by not
advertising. This has become so wide
ly recognized that no shrewd manu-
facturer or merchant neglects to ad-
vertise judiciously aid according to
his means. Advertising is really the
only avenue through which he can
promptly and properly get into the
great commercial life of his state and
country. His business will not pros
per unless he can extend it. and he
cannot expand it without letting the
world know, through advertising. what
he has produced that is of great prac-
teal value to many thousands of citi-
zens.
In former years, when there were
fewer newspapers, certain enterprising
merchants gradually increased the size
of their advertisements in the same. If
any one looks over a file of newspa
pers dated 80 or more years ago in any
large CITY,. he will notice that the

the majority would rather die than know the truth,

is the belief that the love of husband and child is

Training Girls for Business.

Regarding the public school systems of this coun-
try some distinguished educators persistent and
caustic critics of impractical courses, charging that
the methods of teaching even such useful studies as
are included in the curriculums inefficient and
that the luckess children not only specifically
educated, but misinstructed, says Vogue. Indeed
even manual training which came into the schools
a decade ago with such blare of trumpeted praise
has, by the Massachusetts, commission industrial
and technical education been found wanting in the
grammar and high schools of the state, because the
courses are SO purposeess and the time devoted to
them is so meagre that as compared to those of the
highly efficient special schools, which by means of
adequate equipment and thorough facilities for in
struction turn out graduates who capable of put
ting their knowledge to account, they are mere
waste of the taxpayers money.
Reforms seem imminent, and when the systems
are revised it is to be hoped that among the other

That the ideal of our college for young women

Dr. Hall finds, observes the New York Tribune,

their precious theoretical and practical lessons

Along such lines Dr. Hall believes that the soil
