DR, Noix and Huntingdon. Again -in 1866, during the excitement incidental to the threatened invasion of Fenians, the 5th Royals were called to arms, and responded with full ranks. This time the regiment pe:formed duty at Eccles' Hill and Huntingdon, for which service great credit was given them by the officer commanding the Canadian militia, Gen. Sir David Russell. Returning from. . .this = outing, the regiment. was oresented with colors by Lady Russell, wife of Gen. Lord Russell, who commanded the lst Bat- tafon of the Rifle Brigade. The pre- sentation took place on Champ de Mars before a large and ¢ admiring crowd. . As the 5th Royals, the regiment was cblebrated" for having the. best shooting team: of any corps in the Dominion, and the officers' mess to- day contains the finest collection of trophies of any similar régimental headquarters in Canada. About 1550 the regiment was re-or- ganized as the 5th Royal Fusiliers, Ander command of Lieut-Col. Craw- ord. The uniform was then changed from the conventional scarlet, to that of the Fusiliers proper, including HILL, MONTREAL, Chaplain of the 5th Royal Scots, ers in their ranks. Again in 1885 the corps was under orders to be in readi- ness to proceed to the North-West to take part in subduing the. rebellion, but fortunately their services were not required. They were also under arms during the Hackett affair, and lastly, during the recent strike of longshoremen at Montreal. It will be seen that the regiment has rendered the country gdod service and has al ways been found ready to respond when cglled upon for action. As an example of the enthusiasm which exists among the men of all ranks, it- might be mentioned that drill pay is hot drawn by the men; it pass- es into company funds, 'and, besides being used to give the members an annual outing, some of it is applied to keeping up the equipment. This sys- em has been found to have the effect in keeping the ranks full of the very pest standard of soldiers, who drill for the love of the service. The Yov- ernment allowance for the mainten of a Highland regiment istbut a small proportion of the actual cost," Outside of this small allowance, the officers and men "put up" the balance of the cost of maintenance.

The deed was a daring one and won the admiration of the British press. Sergt. Wilkin was wonnded and a comrade who was assisting him _ with Capt. | Amold, was killed. Sergt.

These are only a few of the many noted men the rogiment has produced. The Scots may come with all assurance that they will receive a hearty 'and generous welcome from the citizens of Kingston. On , two occa- sions, during visits of the 14th Regi- ment to Montreal, Kingstonians test- ed of the hospitality of the kilties, and now that an opportunity is pres- ented an attempt will be made in a measure to return the kind treat ment. The line of "apostolic succession," from the organization in 1862, is here- with given : Organized by Col. Routh, who was succeeded by Lieut.-Col. J. D. Crawford, a former officer in the 5th Royals. Next in command, Col. Campbell, of the seignory of St. Hil- aire, a former officer of the Gordon Highlanders. Upon Col. Campbell set- tling in Scotland, the command passed to Lieut.-Col. Frank Caverhill, a po- pular officer, now deceased. Next in iine was Liegt.-Col. Strathy, A.D.C. to Lord Stanley, also deceased, who had some tmouble with the non-coni- missioned officers, and was obliged to discipline the sergeant-major, thereby getting himself into bad odor with the regiment. Following him came Lieut. Col. John Hood, who is very well known to Kingstonians. After him came = Lieut.-Col.. J. 8S. Ibbotson, whose strong forte lay in bringing the regiment to a high state of efficiency on the rifle ranges. {'nder his tenure of command the regiment reached a high standard as a corps of clever shooters. Following him came Lieut. Col. George Cameron, who won dis tinction on the field of battle. Upon the formation of the Strathcona Horse, Col. Cameron accepted a com mission in that corps, and so well did he conduct himself on the South Af rican veldt, fighting the wily Boer, that he received the coveted D.S.0. badge. Upon being seconded for ser- vice. in South Africa. Col. Came- ron was succeeded by Lieut.-Col; John Carson, who at present commands the regiment. and who is deservedly po- pular with all ranks, as is testified by the full companies which at pres nt characterice the regiment's parades. He presents a soldierly appearance in uniform, and inspires confidnce by his sturdy, manly bearing. Quite A Tough Story. The Glasgow Republican tells the following tough story : Tan Crawley, a farmer of the Coral Hill country, had a novel experience. A few years ago he built a small barn, and in its construction used green willow posts at the corners and along the sides. For some time nothing unusual was noticed, but after a year it was ob- served that where he had laid the floor near the ground it was three feet above the soil. He then discover- ed that the willow posts, instead of being dead, were alive, and had taken Aroot .and were growing, and that in their upward movement they had rais- ed the barn. Last Spring the barn was on stilts nine feet high, and ™ he put in a new floor and surrounded the stilts with siding, thereby making a two-storey affair. There is now a épace of twelve inches between the new floor and the ground. Crawley ex- pects to have a three-storey barn in the course of time. Hints On Advertising. W. Arthur Lydiatt in The Canadian Grocer. By Not so very lonry ago I asked a merchant if he vor reelzbd any re turns from the advast'sing he was doing in the daily papers. "Oh, we have no doubt it pays us" said he. "We have been advertising for a good many years, and while we have never had any direct evidence that our advertising brought any re. sults still we have faith in its value, and feel that it does us some good." There was a man who had too much faith. He felt satisfied that the ad- vertising he was doing was beneficial to his business, and when he didn't get any direct results from his ads. it didn't trouble him much--he didn't worry about it as some do.

"Well, does papa know more the minister ?" "Of things worldly, yes. Your fa ther, Johnny, is a very well informed man, as 1 hope you will be some day." "Does papa know more than you, mamma ?"'

ONTARIO, SAT " -------- URDAY, MAY 23, 1903. HON. G. WHAT HE SAYS, Archbishop Keane Issues Temper- ance Pastoral. hy In a notahle pastoral letter address- ed to the clergy and laity 'of the arch-diocese of Dubuque, Archbishop Keane thanks his people for the gen ercus manner in which they have re- sponded to his appeals for temper ance; and conscious that continued efforts should be made in this direc tion; he renews the appeal and prays that all Catholics will eschew the sa- loon. . Archbishop Keane is strong in his dénunciation of the liquor evil and célls attention to the rulings of the council of Baltimore on the sub: ject. In closing he urges all Catho- lies to join C. T. A, societies. Arch bishop Keane says : "But in very many Jocalitieg I have been grieved by what pastors and people have told me concerning the ravages wrought among young and old' by the abuse of drink. And in every case the evil has been traced to the pernicious influence of the saloons. Wherever they exizt, they are public temptations to drink. They solicit, they allure to this dangerous indulg- ence, and it is not to be wondered at that multitudes fall victims to the temptation. Once a young man has put his foo across their threshold he has taken the first step in a slippery and downward path, in which thou sands have found their ruin. And what assurance has the that he will bo more fortunate than those others ? 0OL. MONTIZAMBENT, D.0.C. Chairman of Military Committee, and in command of the military review Can he hope that the grace of God will be with him to stredgthen and protect him ? Alas ! the Lord had warned us that "he that loveth thé danger. shall perish in it." The dear Saviour, © Whom ~ they weeeive into their souls in the Holy Communion) will certainly not accompany them into the saloon: and they ought to maka it the rule of their life to go nowhere that they could not ask our Bord to go with them. "But our experience, dear brethren, is not a new one. It has been, genera tion after generation, the experience of pastors and people in 'every part of our country. When the bishops of the United States were assembled in Plenary council in the year 1866. they found it necessary to warn Catholics against this great evil in: the follow- ing words : "Let pastors frequently warn their flocks to shun saloons, and let them repel from the sacraments liquor deal ers who encourage the abuses of drink, especially on Sunday. "And since the worse scandals owe their origin to excess in drinking, we exhort pastors, and we implore them for the love of Jesus Christ, fo de- vote all théir energies' to 'the extirpa- tion of the vice of in ance.

ROSS Ontario's Loyal and Large Hearted Premier. mr the zeal of those who, the better to guard against excess, pledge them- selves to total abstinence," (Nn. 459, 470.) "Finally, we warn all the faithful engaged in the liquor traffic to seri- ously consider that, though this pur- suit is not. in itself illicit, it is never- the less surrounded with many and sin. Let them choose, if possible, a more honorable means, of sustenance. otherwise let oconsions of sin from themselves and others.

Let them keep they culpably cause or co-operate in bringing religion into men to ruin, there is in Heaven an Aven will exact of them the severest penal ties." (Nn.+260 to 263.) The Catholic Total Abstinence Un- ion and the Sacred Thirst Society, we recognize as deserving of the highest praise, particularly as they are animated by the truly Catholic spirit which prompts them to seek aid in need for their work, not in their own natural strength of pur pose, but in 'the power of prayer and the grace of the sacraments. Remarkable Church. The Eskimos possessed the most re markable place of worship in the world. It was a sealskin church. For ty wealskins were stretched over a light framework, and in this tent, cighteen feet by twelve feet, services were held every Sunday. But the church came to an untimely end. One hard winter the Eskimos' dogs, be inz half famished, dined on the seal skins, and only the frame was lelt The Eskimos have now erected a dog proof tabernacle. One Man's Idea. adelphia Record n' advertiser who has abadoe the use of booklets in favor of new paper advertising exclusively gives as his reason the fact that virtually ev- erybody reads the newspaper, "hut you éannot hire man, woman or child to read anything which is given away. "People don't throw away a beauti ful book or booklet, but they don't read it, either, unless they pay for it." Ph Where To Apply. Chicago Post. "Dear Miss Scrubbins," wrote the wise mother to her son's teacher, "if you want an excuse for Willie's ab- sence from school, ask him for ome. He's the best boy for excuses that lives. He gives them to me a dozen times a day. He can give an excuse for anything that happens, whether it's a rip in his trousers or a fight with a neighbor's boy. As long as you have him in your reom, I do not see why it should be necessary to ap: ply to me for an excuse at all." A Few Points. Exchange. The woman who gan't fool some man is probably alone on a desert island Perhaps they made the sphinx mostly lion in order to have her keep her secret, Some women would be almost will- ing to die if they could have the dates of their birth brought forward a few years on their tombstones.

The t tions for us to ask are Es of our fathers any work. for us to do on carth? IH so, how can it best be done ? Alene, . of in union with the mother country ! In seeking for answers to swch questions we must, like th: prophets and psal. mists of Israel, reflect on the past. lp may. not be easy to read its lssony aright, because nu nation has heen continvously faithful to 'ta mission; but, on the whole, the British people have followed high ideals. "We must be free or die,' said Wordsworth. Their soil bas been the home of free dom, . they proclaim liberty wherever they go, they establish the reign of law and eouality of all before the law wherever they plant the flag. Notwith- standing oad sins and imperfections, they have the capacity for service, and they have served on behall of the per- secuted, the enslaved and weak more than any other power. The British 'empire, then, "is the one power that stands for, frecdom, right eousness and peace up to the extent of its power, and the question for us is: SE Se wr Er w bw on well as the priv to rest on of the empire, or shal wo demand our rightful share of both? If we believe that the imperial work of Britain is rood, that it is in the in terests of humanity, that without i¢ the world would be poorer and bhaser than it is, them we should share in that work. We have, at any rate, no right to share in imperial advantages if we do not share in imperial respon- sibilities. s We are sometimes told that imperi, jsm is only another name for the spirit which is vulgarly called jingo: ism, the spirit which boasts of ma- terial power, wealth or mwmbers, and which is ever ready to make insolent argressions on the rights of others. There have been in our his tory which gave base to this charge, and to this day there is a false as well as a true imperialism. The man who sees nothing in ovr past but faithful: ness to the Divine mission cannot be taken as a wise guide, but he is wiser than the man who sees nothing in it but the spirit of heathenism.
