He says the bill which the commons _ will refer. to the highest stspension of wil work - which is not conduct of religious services, the con- veyance of mails, of travellers, of live stock. amd perishable goods on rail- of fired and other services in conreo- tion with certain manulactories, The running of electric and street. cars is made a matter of provincial option, Sunday excursions and diversions are, however, in any form and under any auspices, forbidden, Moreover the Al- liance was willing that = provision should be made for any of the enstoms which prevail in Queboe and in no other province. So that the people pi Ontario are not, as La Presse alleges Arying to forde their opinions upon the people of Quebec, It consulted not only the archbishops but the lead: ing politicians. The dignitaries of the church approved of all that was pro- posed and suggested that other things than those referred to should be ta- booed because they affected Sabbath observance. The bill had the attention of the premier and the minister of jus- tise, and no two men are more in touch with the mind, manner, and de sires of the people of Quebec, It seems a pity, then, that La Presse should be 80 severe in its condemnation of the measure, because it is widely read by the Fre of Quebec.

In late winter and early spring there is ® great flow of water up through the trunk of the maple, which at all times contains Frouch ges, within the cells of the sap wood, The sunshine from above causes the gas as well as the water to ex- pand as the branches at the top are warmed, and thus the pressure down- ward toward the roots becomes very sirong. Then cones the sngar-maker, with his pail and auger, and through a hole bored in the trank he draws the diluted syrup. The maples which are most under the sun in summer and whose foliage is strong offer the most syrup and their sap makes the best ¥ A The quantity of maple sugar made annually is enormous. In five states in the union the product amounts to 45,000,000 pounds annually, and". its value is $3,000,000, Canada makes about. 10,000,000 pounds, and its value ix well on towards $1,000,000. The In- dians who formerly rbamed the wild- erness were the first sugar makers and they taught the white men the me- thods which they formerly followed and by which they made all the sugar from maple syrup which they required for domgstic purposes. . ------ EDITORIAL NOTES, Eighty cent gas is all right, if it. is for illuminating purposes.

I~ Give Her Aid, Lend Her Proper Assistance, But Do Not Over- step The Mark. Shameful, indeed, is the use of dras- FOR tic cathartics as a family medicine. The drastics play great havoc with the sensitive organs and invariably cause grave troubles. No pill is to be trusted as a family remedy it should be so active as to be always effective, but so mild that the youngest child might use it. It was a family pill Dr. Hamilton had in mind when he prepared his famous pills of Mandrake and Butternut. They are a happy combination of vegetable extracts that afford most satisfactory results, Dr. Hamilton's pills act in such a mild and painless way that they sim: ply establish natural action of the bowels and thus prevent constipation. Of course they are active,--a good pill must be, but there is a wide difference between the drastic action of most pills and the natural stimulus given by Dr. Hamilton's pills, which never gripe, cause pain, or necessitate a lay- up and loss of valuable time Dr. Hamilton's pills are the perfect pill. Try them and be delighted with their merit. They are just a little dif- ferent and a little better than any- thing you have used before.
