Later 'on she spent a short period at Cheltenham College, where the head mistress found her bent so clearly indicated that she allowed hér to take up political and social economics, history and literature, in which subjects she won high distine- tion. Later came a move to Glou- cester, and the result was the found- ing of a branch of the university ex- tension lecture work by one girl. It is needless to say that the lectures were on history, economics and so- ciology, and that the lecturer, bring- ing her youthful enthusiasm into the work, scored 1CCeSS This girl of cighteen: managed to bring boys ana the artisan class into intense sympathy with the work and from this movement grew the club known as the "Gordon Wander- ers," where, under the auspices of a huge bal a men of | | { the Home Arts and Industries, tech- | nical instruction was given the lad both the Ministerialists and Oppo-- | sitionists.

Confederatica With Cansda Becoming a Live Question--"Thy the Colony Has Held Alewi Yrom Deminion, Confederation is again becoming a live question in Newfoundland. This year a general election will divide the people upon the issue. Many look to Ccnada as the true haven of the island colony. They point out that its manifest destiny is mem- bership in the great Canadian Con- federation, that a time of prosperity like the present is the best time for making advantageous terms, and, finally, that the settlement of the French shore question removes the last bar to the h PPy union of all British = possessions in Narth America. It is now forty years since the un- ion of the Canadas and Newfound- land was first discussed. From our former failures in this connection we have something to learn. In 1864, when the idea of the union . of the British colonies on this continent Was put forward, Newfoundland, along with the ogher provinces and colonies, was invited to take part in the negotiations. It was represented by Sir Ambrose Shea and Mr. F. 1. T. Carter, who framed what the de legates hoped would prove an ac- ceptable basis of union. But the idea was not popular in Newflound- land. On their return the delegatbs were ridiculed and reviled, and re- presented as selling the independence of the colony to Canada The pro- posals were overwhelmingly defeated at the polls. * Soon afterwards, in June, 1869, the Newfoundland Government pro- mulgated the terms on which the colony would enter Confederation. These terms would not be considered moderate. They proposed that Noew- foundland should a debt al- lowance equal to per head of population, $35,000 a year for leg- islative expenses, a subsidy of 80 cents per head. and $150,000 in licu of Crown lands. Canada was quite willing to accept the terms. but the Newfoundland Legislafure suddenly changed its mind, deicated the Gov- ernment that proposed them, and de- clared for separate existence. This settled the issue for nearly twenty years. In 1888 Sir Charles Tupper paid a visit to St. John's On his return the Governor-General of Canada sent a message to the Governor of Newfoundland, stating that the Canadian Government con- sidered the time. convenient for the discussion of union, and was confi- dent that no difficulty would be ex- perienced in the terms arranging It was suggested that the Newfound- land legislature should send a de- putation to negotiate, and also that the delegates should represent however. Then arose the dispute over the Bond-Blaine Treaty, in which Cana- da objected to Newfoundland making a fisheries arrangement at Washing- ton independently of this country. Newfoundland, taking umbrage at this, refused bait to Canadians.

I am not ashamed to confess that when some time ago, in all the glory of the full-dress uniform of a lieut- enant of Yeomanry, I made my way on foot to St. James's Palace to be presented to His Majesty as one of his gallant soldiers, it was with a little internal quaking and: an ex- ternal trembling of the knees, which rather belied my brave appearance, I was just in time, as I ncared the Palace, to see the King's equipage, with its @scort of Life Guardsmen making a gallant show With their glistening helmets and nodding plum- es, dash up through a roar of wel- coming shouts from the crowds of curious sightscers, and to feel proud- ly that I, too, was a part, however insigni it, of the "show."

My own reception by the crowd, however, was not qaite so cordial as that of the King, although one critic did exclaim, '1 say, Bill; don'te think 'e's a torf!' which, alter all, was rather a dubious kind of a com- pliment. But a soldier of the King can afford to be criticised, I thought as, with the air of a field marshal, 1 ran the gauntlet of the crowds and at last found myself safely landed within the palace walls.

" A Brilliant Se Dotted here and there in this gor- geous stream of color, slowly mov- ing onward to the Throne Room, are the white wigs and black robes of lawyers fresh from the courts and their briefs, and come to pay hom- age to the King; men in the modest splendor of black velvet court suits, steel-looped cocked hats, and swords and buckles of Steel; stray ministers of the Crown in gold-laced uniforms; scarlet-clad dignitaries of the Church; county lieutenants in silk- lined embroidered tunics, silvers laced trousers, and crimson and gold sashes; Chinamen, gorgeous in robes of silk and gold; picturesque Japanese; and turbaned Turks, In my uniform of dark green I felt quite eclipsed by the blaze of color around and in front of me, as mov- ing with the stream I found myself passing through room after room scanned by keen-eved officials, on the for anything irregular in » each room lookout dress, © guarded by two nen-at-arm 3 ready to bar the nce with a cord of silk if the become too great At last, after what sccmg hours of slow progression, I catch a distant glimpse of the Throne Room, voices which until now have rn incessant become hushed, I clutch my ticket sure that I of pre itation to mak have still got it, and summon up my evaporating ce sc for the ordeal which is now near.

Such destruction" of bird life as the scientific investi- gators have found necessary has heen fully atoned for by their work in the Cause of preservation, both by legal and moral restraints, The work of examining the tissues of dead birds has beén completed.

The naturalist must turn from a study-of the dead to a study of the living, and there a fasci- nating and inexhaustible field awaits him The laboratory has done its work, but the more enticing secrets of the woods, the marshes, the shores, and the fields await the diligent investigator. As nature's sylvan treasures begin to recede there is a sudden awakens ing of interest and keen appreciag tion of their manifold charms. 'The lover of wild flowers is no longer alone, but finds kindred spirits on every hand. Familiar and once lone- ly routes through the woods and along the streams and marshes aro changing to worn pathways. And this new awakening of interest brings destruction in its train. Many of the familiar wild flowers are disap- pearing from their usual haunts, and it remains for their steadfast friends to save them from further destruc tion. Man's interference helps the coarse and the commonplace to push aside the fragile and delicate. In the struggle for existence the en- croaching grass crowds out and kills off the most delicate and beaytiful flowers of the suburban woods. In parks where the leaves are raked up and burned the .destructive grass takes immediate possession and the wild flowers are doomed. And where grass is not aided by such vandals ism the continuous depredations of flower lovers is a slower process of extermination, To protect and preserve our native flora demands a higher degree of altruism than the preservation of bird life. The ever-potent appeal to selfishness can be advanced on be- half of almost all our feathered vis- itors, and he who is not moved by their glad me e of spring nor their happy activity in the weary summer will give heed to their value in protecting the farm, the garden, and the orchard. Their fine, sensitive organism gives them a higher claim, for it appeals to a human sympathy that recoils from the infliction of pain.
