A great fuss was made in parlia- ament over an alleged: contract for boundary line. fencing, and to the value of hundreds of thousands of. @ scandal had been committed, a great end grevious scandal, and it demand- ed all the papers in the case. It seems ihat last year--months ago --the ranchers asked ior the fence in protection "of. their interests. The de- puty minister of the interior did not approve of it, He thought that the fence, if needed, should be erected by the owners of the land. The minister of 'the interior asked Commissioner Perry, of the North-West - Mounted Police, to report upon the matter, and Perry said the Canadian cattle inter- ests were heing menaced by American cattle encroaching upon Canadian ter- ritory. In one instance 531 head of cattle had been seized and held until all expenses had been paid and the duty had been deposited. South of Lypress Hills between two and three thousand cattle, and sheep in large numbers, had been pasturing in Can- ada. " While the correspondence was going on 'the McGregor-Barwell Fence com- pany offered to rear the fence along the boundary line for $550 per' mila and $10 for each -gate. This was in January. Mr. Sifton invited an ex- pert's opinion as to the work and its value. Other firms asked for permis- sion. to tender. One of these firms was the Page company, of Walkerville, and to their enquiry a clerk in the partment of the interior the contract had de- wrote that been awarded. This opposi- tion. depended, and Which caused all the commotion. It did not state the fact, for the case is "unsettled. When last heard from the deputy minister of justice had reported upon it, saying that in his opinion the fence should be undertaken by the public works' department, and that public tenders for it should he invited. In this connection the public inter- cause the law enacted this session provides that for all contracts above $5,000 tenders will have to be invited. It is provided that the ministers in- dividually, even after 'they have asked to give contracts, but that the matter shall be brought before the governor in-council, and the governor-in-ceuncil alone gives the contracts."

The circum: stanco came to light through a speech from the bench at Niagara Falls, N.Y., which has been recently made by Judge Kenefeck. He said he had [attended a dinner, at which a former attorney.general for Ontario boasted of the high morality of his econatry- men, and cited as a proof thereof the fact that divorce was so rare among them, Judge Kenefeck said, in reply, that many Canadians went to the United States to seek a dissolution of the marriage ties, and they did it because, by a brief residence, they secured their ohject quicker and with less expense, A legal gentleman in Bufialo, one of long practicé in the courts, de- clares that fully ten per cent, of the divorces in. that city affected the Canadians.

BISHOP DEFENDS STAGE; 1 Sain, 3 z The Strong Words of Bishop of Rochester, "The dramatic impulse is too deep too natural, too universal, too hu- man, and too lovely for me to be- lieve that it is meant for nothing but instrument of Satan, that it has not its purpose for the brightening, refin- ing, refreshing and elevating of life." n these striking words the Bishop of Rochester, England, defended the actor's calling. Dr. Talbot was preaching on behalf of* the Actors' Church Union, which he defined as a little effort on the part of the church to bridge the gulf which has been said to divide church and 'When he was asked : "Do you con- bmn the stage and taboo actors 2" he answered, "No," "I see," said the bishop, "as do members of the profession, the great. ness of their dangers. I gee that a life is full of danger, which 'compels its devotees continually to go out of themselves into parts which they play, which makes it the business of women to rivet upon themselves the gaze of the mixed multitude, which throws men and women together un- der circumstances of excitement, and which gives mammon its opportunities to play the devil's part of tempter d tyrant. "All the greater, therefore, is the obligation of Christian people to help actors to keep up the standard of their profession, and to make the de- mands such, and only such, as actors can rightly and honorablv supply." The preacher emphasized the fact tha the playgoer, and not the player, was really responsible for the undesirable plav. r "We ought," he said, "to be able to claim - for the Christian people of West London the inexorable determin- ation not to go to plays which are risky 'or shady, or all those other glozing alternatives of what js partly bad. : "We ought to manipulate in the in- terests of virtue the influence which is exercised on the charapter of the sup- ply by the character of the demand. It ought to be done. We ought" to bind ourselves to do it. "It in one of the cases, of which so- ciety knows a good many, where the simple dutv of drawing the line is a duty. which we allow to be whittled awav bv every sort of weakness and sophistry.

Enjoy Using Herpicide on Account of Its Distinctiveness. i The ladies who have used Newbro's Herpicide speak of it in the highest terms, for its quick effect in cleansing the scalp of dandruff and also for its excellence as a general hair-dressing. It makes the scalp feel fresh and it al- lays that itching which dandruff will cause. Newbro's Herpicide effectively cures dandruff, as it destroys the germ that causes it. The same germ causes hair to fall out, and later baldness; in killing it, Herpicide stops falling hair and prevents baldness. It is also an ideal hair dressing, for it lends an anstocratié charm to the hair thats quite distinctive.
