The postmaster general pointed out that au effort of giving sick leave frequently prolonged illness and that the docking of pay dusing abeence from alleged ill-health acted like o powerful tonic. There were nu merous cases of rapiil recovery when the absentees understood that longer absence would be accompanied by loss of pay. One naturally hopes that people of this kind are scarce in the public service, because the offence of malingering is a mean gnd contem- ptible one and the man who will feign sickness to avoid doing 4 duty he is well paid for, should be promptly dis missed, There are probably enough before the department of militia: from officers to fill comfort ably four coronation contingents, So far only the commandant and a se cond in command have been appoint: ed, the regimental Raff is limited to these officers and an adjutant be or ders from the war office and . there will also be one taptain amd two lieutenants, to each hundred N.C. officers and men.

The town is al y represented in Africa hy two young men, Messrs. Pandy, one of whom was shot there. This time there were three young men taken, while the fourth did not meet the requirements in the examination. F. W. Armstrong, acting as clerk in R. M. Binney's road office of the C. P.

He wad made corporal in Deloraine, the nearest recruiting station, and is in charge of the men until they reach Halifax. Evan Davies was anothers recruit. He is an Englishman by birth. Charles Williams, another man from Ontario, last fall coming from near Stirling, enlisted. "Kip" Cates, aptending college in Winnipeg for some time, has also been accepted. It seems, from the above, that "id Ontario" is. a deal more loyal than Manitoba vet. In fact, to be here only strengthens this, as one meets a great many pro-Hoers among the dif ferent classes of people. In this coun: try one meets with men of every na: tion under the san, enjoying the liberty and freedom their own country refused them, and which can be found only under the British flag, and yet they take it all as a matter of course, and speak again the flag that protects them.
