Canada is doing a great deal to help
its farmers. The latest scheme is to
advance $4,OO0,OOO to those in the
provinces of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan whose crops were failure last
year and who are therefore crippled in
facing the needs of another season.
The announcement will come as a sur
prise to many, however, for the idea
has been sedulously inculcated that
the Canadian northwest was region
of unfailing prosperity, and thousands
have been induced to immigrate in the
belief that it was veritable promised
land. In view of the outcome, says
the Troy IN. " Times. the Dominion
authorities may feel morally bound to
go to the aid Of the unfortunate ones.
And if the news of the crop failures
gets abroad it will be still more diff

Romance must retire before the
progress of the age. The municipal
government of Venice proposes to
adopt an extensive system Of illumin-
ating the canals with powerful incan-
descent gas lamps. 1t is true that the
old mode of lighting gave very made
quate results from a severely practical
point of view, but it produced un-
rivaled light and shade effects, the
beauties of which have ever been the
JOY of visitors. 1t is, therefore, hardly
surprising that artists and other ad-
mirers of the lovely lagoon city are
protesting against what they call an
act of philistnism. The hard, cold
glare of incandescent gas will, they
say, rob Venice of one of its greatest
charms - that mysterious twilight
which produces the proper atmosphere
for musing on the romance and past
greatness of the noble palaces of the
erstwhilc rulers of the seas.

A transportation question that has
been agitated in Ceylon for a long
while. and that is now being brought
actively to the front again, is that 0f
connecting Ceylon to India by a rail
road across Adams Bridge and the
shallow bodies of water lying between
Rameswaram and Tallaimannar at the
northern end Of the island. The South
Indian Railway company are bringing
their line to the eXtrAme point of the
small island Of Rameswaram, so that
only a small gap Of water will inter-
vene between the termini of the In.
dian and Ceylon railways. If the con,
neCtion is made at all it will make
Colombo the port for southern India,
and will greatly L7retit the tea and
rubber industries : facilitating the
transportation of L. borers from India.

Old Maidhood.

Old maidhood, like fever, is a thing
which seizes those who are too weak
to resist it. Who are the most likely
victims? Certainly one is the girl
who has been too Eluch girl, and too
little a woman. Finding girlhood a
very attractive state at Is, she has al
ways clung to it desperately until
fading looks force her to see that it
has flown from her. Then follows dis
appointment The woman who re-
sists old maidhood is she who has
only regarded girlhood as 4 pleasant
prelude to a bigger phase of life. Her
zenith is to be womanhood. At Is she
has only just entered into the contest,
at "a she is getting into the thick OF
it. 1t must be many years before she
can possibly pass the meridian of fe-
male life, so 30, and even later, finds
her at her height, not like the other,
many years gone in decline. Why does
a man not care, generally, when he
finds himself passing the period of
youth? Because he has gained in en-
perience and knowledge, has seen the
FOLLY of youthful dreams, and learns
to see life as it is. Youth gives way
TO manhood. and, in that state, he Is
content to flourish. TO avoid the
stigma of old maid woman must fix
her eyes on the things that matter in
life. She must net allow the knowl-
edge of passing youth to sour her. She
must not allow her youth to pass, but
must vigorously fight the touch of
that arch cynic, Father Time, and try
to shine in the sphere of womanhood

funeral corteges. Those who had no
dead to mourn as personal loss stood
in the streets with barred heads as
the grim professions passed. There
was scarcely dry eye in Collinwood.
One of the sad funerals was that of
the three children of Janitor Hirter,
held jointly with the services for three
other little ones.
Jantor Is Made Target.
Mutterings against the ianitOr could
be heard about the village as half
crazed parents sought an object upon
which to wreak vengeance, forgetting
as they did that Hirter himself was
walking with bowed head and broken
heart behind the biers of three of his
beloved. A detail of police was
placed about the Hirter home when
the hour for the funeral came. Fully
500 persons 1ad gathered, but when
the collins were carried to the door
way the crowd spread and opened the
way for them without protest or eX-
preston of hostility.
Altogether there were so burials
Friday, and Saturday the grewsome
task was repeated. Sunday will wit
ness the last of the individual burials,
and on Monday the remains of all
those who are unidentified will be laid
to rest with one funeral. Friday night
there were % of these bundles of
flesh that awaited claimants.
Fire Testimony Heard.
Testimony describing the mad rush
to death of the school children was
given Friday at the continued session
of the coroner's inquest. Stories OF
heroism on the part of the women
teachers were recited. +. p. Whitney,
superintendent Of the Collinwood
schools, stated his belief to be that no
fire department could have done any
effective work after the fire had
started. Two of the teachers told Of
their unavailing attempts to open one
of the double doors at the rear, which
they said was locked. The inquest
also developed the fact that, after the
first crush at the door, it was beyond
human possibility to aid or save those
whom the tongues of fire were devour-
ing in the charnel house. The inquest
will be resumed Monday.
Partitions Cause Great Loss.
In statement Friday, Chief Wal
lace of the Cleveland fire department,
after an examination of the ruins Of
the Collinwood school, said it was his
opinion that the loss of life would not
have been so great had there been no
partitions at the sides of the storm
doors at the rear entrance.
