A Vigorous Letter by James H, Stark of Boslon--The Famous Speoch of Josiah Quincy--Litile Use for Canada To Make Trealy If She Gould Not Enforce 1. James H. Stark, of Boston, known to Kingstonians, takes part in o) newspaper controversy on Canada in a vigorous way. After referring to Jocal arguments he says: The principal complaint that Cana- da makes against the home govern- ment i8 that they have been t,o gen- erous with the United States in sett] ing boundary disputes, or as Mr. Thomson facetiously puts it: "J. B., to the Canadians believe, has held the industrious beaver, while Uncle Sam cheerfully skinned off as much of the peltry as he coveted at the time. It is with a hope of saving the remainder of the hide that John Canuck is fain to negotiate for himself." That is true. There is no doubt but that Can ada has been badly skinned by the United States in the past, through sharp practice, and that Britain has given way, sooner than have a war with the United States. But Canadi ans must remember that there would have béen no pelt to divide had it not been for Britain, for the first grab wae for the whole pelt. The indifference shown to treaty ob- ligations by Congress and the States, and the secret determination to eradi cate everything British from North America is now known to have been the deliberate, well considered policy of the founders of the republic. After the close of the revolutionary war, came the long twenty-three vears' war, in which Great Britain in the most part single-handed fought for the free- dom of Europe against the most co- lossal tyranny ever devised by a vie torious captain. No nation in the his tory of the world carried on such a war; so stubborn, so desperate, so vi- tal. Had Great Britain failed, what would now have been her position in the world ? At the very time when Britain's need was the sorest, when every ship, every soldier, every sailor that she could find was needed to break down the power' of the man who had subjugat- od the whole of Europe except Russia and Great Britain, the United States the land of boasted liberty, did her host to cripple the armies of liberty by proclaiming war against Dritain. Napoleon was at the height of his power with an army for the invasion of Bagland at Boulogne: England was exhausted in the contest with him. Her great war minister, Pitt, had died broken-hearted. Every indication was favorable to the conauest of Canada by the States and the extinction of all British interest on this continent. In the motherland it seemed in the poplar imagination, that on the oth er sije of the Atlantic lived an im- placable enemy, whose rancor was even greater than their boasted love of liverty. The action of the United States in declaring war against Great Brritain, when she was fichting for the Liberty of mankind, best set forth in the famous speech of Josiah (mindv, delivered before Coneress, 1813. Its author. on reading it over in his old age, micht well say "he shrunk not from the judement of af ter times.' He denounced the invas ie jon a8 'cruel, 'wanton, senseless and wicked." He said: "We have heard great lamentations about the dis- grace of otir arms oh the frontier. Why. sir, the disgrace of our arms on the frontier is terrestrial glory in comparison with the diserace of the attempt. When I contemplate the char- actor and consequences of this inva sion of Canada, when I reflect on its crinfinality and ite danger to the neace of this once happy country, thank the great Author and Source of all ¥irtue that, through His prace. that section of country in which I have the hapniness to reside is in so great a degree free from the iniquity of this transgfession. T speak it with wride; the people of that section have done what they could to vindicate themselves from the burden of this sini" H-must be said to the credit of Now REneland that it refused 'to take ane wart in the war and refused ab solately to send anv troons 'to aid in the invasion of Canada. After the fall of Bonaparte, there was reason to ap- prohend that the Pritish administra tion tefumphant over ite ~i=ontic for. its armv and navy released from the incessant service of so manv vears. rr ----------------------------------SED Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury. As mercury will surely destroy the might concentrate the whole of the empire upon the power which it garded as a volunteer res ally of its mighty enemy, and administer an ex emplary chastisement. No doubt many Englishmen felt with Sie Wal- ter Scott that "it was their business to give the Americans a fearful me- mento that the babe unborn should have remembered But, happily, the British people wiselv refrained from an expenditure of blood and gold which could have no permanent re- sults, and would only serve to exas- perate passion and prolong animosi- ties which it were far wiser to permit to subside and to die out. At any rate the British ministry were content to treat with the Ame- rican commissioners at Ghent and make a pe which left untouched the pretended occasion of the 'war, or the acquiring of a foot of Canadian territory, but which deprived the Uni- ted States of the valuable ing pri- vileges on the shores of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which they had pre- viously enjoyed. The settlement of the Maine boundary and the Oregon boundary questions showed American hatred of Britain to be chronic. The question finally resolved itself-whether to light Canada and wrest from her the enormous wheat fields. now being developed, or to fight Mexico. The result was the Mexican war, one of the most unjustifiable wars ever en- tered into by any civilized 'nation. By this war the United States near- ly doubled its area. Truly it is a "Century of Dishonor." The . first treaty the United States made, to which it owed its very existence, was broken/at the first opportunity, but which the United States had to pay dearly for. 1 refer to the treaty made with France during the days of the Revolution, and by means of which American independence was secured. We had agr to assist France in foreign complications, in which she might become involved, and, further- more, to protect her possession in the West Indies. When the time came for putting those pledges into force the United States refused to act. American statesmen did not care to throw their country into the vortex of a great European war as the friend or champion of French Revolution. These were the "foreign entangle- ments" that Washington afterwards cautioned his countrymen ¢ entering into. The United States re mained neutral, and indifferent, and did not give that assistance which they had agreed to by treaty, while England seized the larger part of the French West Indies which the United States had agreed protect. The French in retaliation ordered its crui to sers to take or destroy all vessels carrying the United States flag where ever found. Eight hundred and nine ty-eight vessels valued at $12,676,000, were taken or destroyed. This was the origin of the famous "French Spoliation Claims,"" a responsibility it succeeded in avoiding for nearly a hundred yea till at last it became an historical disgrace to the govern ment. Buring Cleveland's administra tion some of these claims to the grandchildrén of claimants. There would be little use for Can ada to make a treaty with the United rs, were paid the original States, without the power of en forcing same. Singular as it may appear, lately Burton Kline wrote the prediction that the United States will annex Western Canada; that to say. the Texan-Mexican scheme would be worked over again. Ameri oan settlers would enter Canada, vote themselves into the United States and ii Canada objected, Western Canada or the whole of Canada would be taken by force of arms if necessary, This spirit is manifested by the following notice, which usually heads a Doston daily paper: "Our Greatest Duty. The thought of every public man, year in and year. out, should be direeted to this, our great est national economic, political and wilitary safety, the acquisition . of Canada." Sometimes it is . varied with the statement that "We want Canada; it must and shall be ours.' This is the v that the burglar and highwayman reason. No rich and un developed country, with a boundary line of 3,000 miles, containing a po pulation of only 6,000,000, would be safe from a country on the other side of the line, professing such sentiments as the foregoing, with a population of 50,000,000, and of unbounded re a completely derange nd 0 : nes Norio und on entering it | gources, unless it 1s supported and d 5 Such ar- | funded by one of the most powerful through the mucous surfaces ticles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, a the age they will do is ten fold of the world. ------------ nations to good you can possibly derive from them. @lall's Catarrh Cure, man- ulactured by F.

Scheme of Starting One in The Great Metropolis. The London Telegraph reports that one Dr. Paul Valentin is starting a school of happiness in that metropol- is. The scheme sounds promising. The particulars of it include a course of lectures and the publication of a prri- odical to be called the Normal Life. We are used to feel--to put it erude ly--that folks who have health and money ought to 'be happy. And so they should. A sufficient" income pro- motes comfort, and that contributes to cheerfulness of spirit; and to have health, of course, means to feel well, and that is a long step towards feel ing good. But how far do. we have to look to find persons with health to squander and more monev than they know how_to spend, making -strenu- ous efforts to attain happiness, and merely achieving impaired health ! If you have health and money you can usually bay pleasure, but enjoy- ment is a different article; and even when vou have good enjovment, hap- piness mav still elude you. Pleasure palls, and sometimes demoralizes; jovment easily vidld to weariness ; but you don't get tired of being happv. and you may be ever so tired and be hanpv still. It is a matter of common observa- tion that people who are fully occupi ed at reasonably congenial tasks are usuallv. happier than idler people and work is very commonly prescribed as a panacea for discontent. But the re: medy must fit the individual case. Work undertaken simply to make the worker happier may not yield that result. An idle millionaire mav not find relief in stone-breaking, or even in a business the natural object of which is to make more money The business may be mere drudgery to him, and he may not care for more money. The work must not only en- gage and exercise the mind, but in some way it must satisfy the spirit. To want something and to work for it is a very likely basis for -hapvoiness That "an intell civilized gnan should find a permanent measure af positive happiness without some bas- is of relirion to support him does not accord with expectation. Nature gives us cravings--hunger and thirst to in sure due care for the body, mental as piration to insure activity of the mind, spiritual aspirations to insure something else. Tf the mind rusts we dull, and can't have much fun. dither can we be happy if the crav ings of thé spirit find no response. Women Physicians. Charlottenburg has distinguished it- self as the first German commune to appoint a woman school doctor. Madame Gauseel has heen appoint ed chief of the staff of Midwifery and Gynaecology of the Faculty of Medi- cine at Montpelier, France. Women have lately received several medical appointments in Great Brit- ain. The Edinburgh parish council has appointed Dr. Eva A.

There were two men candidates, but despite some opposition, Dr. Robertson was ap- pointed hy 'seventeen votes against six and five respectively. The chair man said that of the three candidates she possessed the highest medical de- gree. At Craigleith they had a splen did example of the woman physician, and he thought that Dr. Robertson would make an equally successful doc- tor for the Craiglockhart hospital. Dr. Katherine S.

' Vancouver, June 11.-A lighthouse keeper not far from Vancouver recent ly displayed "distress" signals for the purpose of attracting the attention of a steamer on which he desired to load a consignment of fresh eggs for the local market. As a storm was rag- ing at the time and the water was so wild that no landing could be made, the steamer brought to the city a tale of mystery which for some time caused anxiety on the water front. The stedmer in question was the Princess May of the C.P.R. Skaguay lie. Im mediately upon her arrival in port the Dominion government fisheries cruiser Kestrel was 'despatched to the island appropriately named "Egg,'" where the lighthouse keeper lived in his lonely tower, Capt. Newcombe of the Kestrel found the surf rolling so heavily that for hours he lay in sight of the little island waiting for an opportunity to make a landing. When at last he did reach the shore, and asked the 'reason why the distress signals had been dis played, he was afiorded the explana tion given above. The lighthouse keep er added that, as the principal virtue of eggs day in their freshness, he had wanted to get a steamer without de \ay, and thought that the most effec: tive way of seeuring one would be by displaying the *help wanted" sign so familiar to mariners. Having solved the mystery, Capt. Newcombe forth. with bought all the eggs and made the lighthouse keeper happy A MEDLEY NATION. The Russians Are Conquerors, But Not Wooers. Booklovers' Magazine ith rare exceptions the Russian peasants are Jacking in educat BO briety, industry, energy and honesty. They have the characteristics of a race of slaves. They are so suspicious i questions that frequently they will of lie when it is to their interest to tell the truth; they will use ingenuity in stealing "and covering their tracks, but they so lack perseverance that it is difficult to turn their cunning to account. Some of these characteris ties extend high up. A, the time that the Revisan and Varidg were being built at the Cramps), Philadelphia, another vessel was being built for the Japanese navy, and navel officers were there from both countries to su- pervise the work. The Russians did little but drink, and seldom went near their vessels, while the Japanese watched every piece that went into construction and knew just what it was meant to accomplish. The Russian population, perhaps the most mixed of all nations, is made up in large measure of conquered peo ples. One-third of the whole--{rom for ty to fifty millions--are true Musco vites, Around these are grouped Lapps, Finns, Germans, Lithuanians, Poles, Little Russians, Ruthenians, Roumanians, Greeks, Georgians, Tar tars, Jews and Gipsies. These are all in European Russia, and this is no thing to the medley in Asiatic Russia, where there is an almost endless var jety of races. Fach of the races speaks a different tongue, and there are. at least six different religions among them, without counting scctaries, such as the Dukhobors. Bitter political hatred of Russia burns fiercely among the Finng, Poles and Armenians, You may have observed that a bachelor can hold a baby almost as awkwardly as a woman can throw a stone, tian EMBARRASSED WITH RICHES. ---- Heiress to Krupp Millions Has Worries. It is one of the Siar ironies of fate that a young girl, barely of age, should be in a sense responsible for the bloodshed in the struggle between Russia and Japan, owing to the fact that she su practically 1 young woman in question is Miss Krupp, who, on the death of her fath- er, became chief proprietor of the world-famed Krupp works, at Essen, and likewise became the wealthiest woman in the world. The heiress seems to have inherited some of the family capacity for in- dustrial organization, for she takes the greatest pride and delight in sup- ervising the work of the different de- partments, and declares that at some future time she will have gained suf- friont experience to take an active part in the direction of affairs, Meanwhile, her interference in - busi- ness matters is limited to passive sup- ervigion, but she takes a more active part in controlling the management of the numerous auxiliary departments of the establishment, The schools for the children of her employees and the hospitals for the care of the sick re- ceive regular visits from her, and she hae a sharp eye for defects of all kinds. Knowing human nature, it is hardly surprising to find that Miss Krupp's emplovees do not appreciate her good qualities and charitable ways. Living in Miss Krupp's houses, sending their childrer to her schools, applying to her hospitals when they or their fam- iliss are sick, attending her churches, drinking beer in her restaurants, buy- ing meat from her slaughter houses, flour from her mills, bread from her bakeries; and hats and clothes from her stores make them feel that they are her serfs, and not freo-born lab: orers, Miss Krupp's charitable disposition has become known to the general pubs lic in Germany, with the result that ghe receives, on an average, over purely begging letters a day, and over 150 letters daily entreating her to grant some position in the works to some worthy voung man. She also has to underoco some of the inconveniences which are generally confined to emperors and kings. Her vast wealth and the ownership of an entire city make her a likely target for anarchists' bullets and her friends are in constant terror = of assassina- tion. For this reason her guardians have insisted on her being continually guarded by a special corps of detec. tives, who are always in her vicinity. Given A Warning. Senator Depew was, the other day, discussing Chinn's somewhat precari- ous position in "the Russo-Japanese war. "China,"" he said, '"'scems very small and helpless beside Russia or Japan.
