T Sir George Ross. As Minister of Education for a long term of years in Ontario he! demonstrated that he had brainy enthusiasm for education which he began 'to get when school-feacher and inspector of schools in Lamb- ton county. He had the advantage of a course at law, as well as a sively editor of the Strathroy Age, the Huron Expositor, and the On- tario Teacher. As Minister he will long be' re- membered by many for the "Ross Bible,"" which was a compilation from Beriptures intended for gen- eral use in Public and High schools. But there were few new things in education which Mr, Ross did not exploit. Ho was a tireless experimenter with a great and growing pride in the "school sys- tem" of Ontario. There were edu- cators who maligned him for his experiments; and many who bless- ed him for his progressiveness. He was never asleep, A tireless stu- dent of history and of constitutions, he made. a name for himself as an oratorical teacher. = His public speaking was of the very first rank. No man in Canada and few men anywhere could so doeply interest a crowd in an abstruse subject by the power of ideas wedded to ora- tory. He was famous at home and abroad ; in the United States and in England.

Perhaps Jesus felt that the listeniing multitudes were unfriend- toward him. As he turns from 'them and addresses the words off our lesson to hi§ disciples, urging to have no fear for the. per ear oiten causes: hypocrisy, he 'urges them to be ready always to give courageous testimony to the truth, assuring them of the heavenly Fa- ther's protection and of the aid 'of the Holy Spirit if they are brought to trial for their faith: + ; Verse 1...

Be not afraid of them that kill the body--Jesus may have felt that in the persecutions which were sure to arise the disciples would be tempted to deceive. 5. Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell --This passage, like the parable of the unjust steward, is given two distinctly different interpretations. Some think "He who hath power to cast into hell" refers to God, others think the reference is to Satan. Some reasons in favor of the for- mer interpretation are: (1) In the Greek construction of the word "fear" means "fear without trying to shun,'" which is the word usually used when referring to fearing God ; (2) in Scripture we are not else- where told bo fear Satan, but to re- sist him; (3) the Evil One may en- deavor to entice us into Gehenna, but he has no authority to send us there. However, the idea of God here expressed is more like Old Testament teaching than the teach- ing of Jesus about the Father. Hell--Gehenna, derived from Gi- Hinnom, meaning "the valley of Hinnom" near Jerusalem, where sacrifices to the heathen god Mo- loch were made, and where later the refuse from the city was con- sumed in a fire kept continually burning. Hence it became a symbo- lical name for the place of punish- ment in the other world. 6.

An Opinionated Bird and Nests Where He Pleases. No English country place--and no story of English rural life--is com- plete without its rookery and its noisy colon 7 of. rooks. But the rook, according to Mr. O. Jones and Mr, M. Woodward, the authors of 'A Gamekeeper's Note-Book," 18 a very opinionated bird, and nests where he pleases. Sometimes nothing -will induce him to live in the apparently well-adapted trees of Soke otherwise perfect ancestral park. The most hopeful plan is to tem: them by Yuiting up old his nests, or brooms, or to put rook's eggs into an empty nest that ha pens to be in the desired place for a colony. Their strong preference for certain sites is curious; they will crowd inte the trees. on one side of the road, and pay no atten- 'tion to other trees of tho same sort only a few yards distant. e have watched a case where for twenty years the rooks remain- 'ed faithful bo the original nest trees of the colony. Some ten years ago about half these trees were out down, but even then the evicted rooks would not build trees, which became more crowded with nests than ever. But two or three seasons ago their favorite nesting tree, a beech with a farspread top, an to show signs of disease; and then, after a deal of wrangling, two or three pairs were permitted to nest in the trees near by, hitherto de- spised. In the next season there were nineteen nests there, and in the next twenty-six. The old beech, meanwhile, became more feeble, as the rooks, perhaps, perceived by some brittleness of the twigs at the top; and after one more year, al- though the tree still bore foliage, it gave shelter to only two nests. The cunning of rooks, crows and magpies is marked at nesting time, and the keeper who would shoot them by hiding within shot of their nests, may wait for hours in vain if the birds have seen him approach --as they seldom fail to do. The go away, when they will return to the nest in full confidence. But they may be tricked easily. Let two men with a gun go together to stand beneath a rook's mest. Away go the nesting birds. Then let one man take his departure, while the other waits in hiding. The birds will return promptly, as if they thought that both men had gone. Wisin TO PREVENT CAR SHORTAGE. Car EMciency Best Promoted by Co-operation. The Board of Trade News of To- ronto recently printed an article on how best to prevent car shortage, and among other things points out that car efficiency can best be at- tained in the following manner : 1. By the satisfactory handling of traffic with the least number of cars, which can best be accomplished by the ordering of cars of suitable dimensions and loading same to their full capacity. As an illustration: Assuming a tonnage of 3,000,000 tons is loaded and transported in 260,000 cars, or twelve tons per car. An increase in the load to 15 tons would result in the same traffic being transported 000 cars for other service. A firm shipping 5 cars of 12 tons each per day for 300 working days, by in- creasing the average load per car to 15 tons, move the same volume of traflic in 120 instead of 150 cars. 2. Handling the business in the smallest number of car days, railways should _ transport the freight quickly, supplemented hy prompt loading and uploading of iah | cars by their patrons. The full free time permitted by the Car Hervive Rules should hot be taken advant- age of unless astually necessary, 3.
