Lanada, he pointed out, was gifted 'with water transmission, and in this respect, Aingston was es pecially refated to transportation. Keilway boards had been appointed, 0. a8 rajlways could be operated fot wholly in she interests of those whe wpea them, but in the interests oi he people, The boards were armed with powers of stale. He had every conlidence that these boards would be able to meet all the requirements of the future, After taking his seat, Mr. Melatyre was given a most pleasant surprise. George Smith, one of the veteran knights, walked over with a gold- beaded . cane, and presented it to the chairmay of the Ontario Nailway Board, ' #¢ a remembrance from the Kingston * gripmen. Speaking of Mr. Mcintyre, Mr. Smith said: "Those who have known him, love him most; to those who do not know him, the loss is theirs." Mr, Melntyre, in reply, stated' "I thank Jou. gentlemen, from the bot- tom of my heart. Thi fact that Iam leaving so: many {friends in Kingston, will give me courage in my new posi- tion. It will give me courage to meet my responsibility, even in the face of the hostile world." Other Speeches. George Smith, or "Our George," ns he isn referred to, was then called upon, and in his usual good style gave & very racy aceount of his vigws on the naval questions, and ot mat- ters. His remarks were brimful of humor. One of his chief complaints was that Canada was suffering from tap much prosperity. ~Men could not be secured to attend military camps, and those who did go to camp, went at 8 personal loss. "Why, we cannot get endugh men to put on our storm windows in the wall," he added. "When you hear men say that in giving 235,000,000 for the building of war vessels, we are giving too mach, just tell them that we have not given emough." The speaker. put up a strong plea for the teaching of all newcomers in the country the meaning of Canadisn citizenship. - Edward Fielding, Torénto, treasurer of the Commercial Travellers' Associa- tion of Canada, gave an account of the work of the association, which was reporied to be in a most flourishing condition. Special reference was made to the good work being done among old travellers, who were in need of help, and who were being helped by the funds of the association. "The, City of Kingston' was toast od, and responses were made by May- or Hoag, Ald, Dailey and Ald. Rigney, tne two candidates in the mavoralty contest. Civie affairs were dealt with, in an interesting manner by th + speak ors. "Our. Guests" brought replies from Rev. William Frederick Fit#Gernld, and B. R. Hepburn, M.P., Piclon. George Gillespie was called upon to respond to the toast to "The Ladies." Huriag the evening excellent "Sngs were given by Arthur Craig; Angus rancls Powers and John Cous- ins.

Her body had grown cold and. numb. One by one the lights had gone out, yet she lingered, loath 'to yield herself to black disap- ointment. - ' The screen dor behind her was wren ded open and her mother's voice rame Yout harshly into the night. "Lida, your pas gone to bed and I'm going. It's time you came. in You'll get sick sitting out there in the dew wath that thin dress on" The girl rose. She shivered slight- ly, but not with chill. Another moment she waited, listen- ing, then she entered the house Her mother was turning down the famp preparatory to blowing it out. "He didn't come, ch?" she said, grim- ly. "Well, you know where he is. Keeping company with that girl at Alisoit's, You might as well get used to the idea sand be sengible whout it He ain't the only man if the world." Lida did not reply' She murmured a good-night and stole away to her tittle room. Then she went to the glass and stood' long staring at tnt wan image she saw there. Turhing she sank dgwn upon the bed, Hyg to think. He had not come.' There wasggnly one readon for his nbdt com- ing and her mother had stated that. fle had gone to Alison's to see Edna Macumber, the girl from town. Hler active imaeination pictured it all, "He had worn his blue suit and perhaps the tie she had crocheted for him the Christmas before. Mrs. Ali- son, amiable, unsuspecting, had an- swered his ring and had taken him into the parlor with its velvet rug and stuffed furniture, where she had left him to wait while she went to tell Edna. And presently Edna had come, dressed like a fashion plage. Lida covered her face with her hands. sobs broke in her throbbing throat as she thought of the town girl so gay. so prettily dressed, so unhke herself tealing her lover from her Lida at last rose, blew out the lamp and crept into bed to le wretched ind sleepless most of the night Hope cane feebly with the moyn- ing. The light, the fragrance and stir if dawn seemed to put last night's experience far away. Lida wirked in the kitchen until noon. Then, smud- gy and overheated, she slipped out to while waitibe for her father and bro- ther to come home for dinner. As she gat there a vay yonng pair, swing- ing tennis rackets, came down the street. Neither saw the little, hunch- ed, staring figure on the rickety side steps as tney passed. But Lida saw them Phere was pride in Lida despite her gentleness jesides, last night's ex perience had in a measure prepared her for what she saw When her mother called dinner she took her place. 1if she was pale, it was the heat that had tired her.: Her elder brother, Will, watching her, seemed to turn over in his mind something he had to say a good many times be fore he said it. "Stanley Rice is making a fool of himself over that Macumber girl," he said. "They say he doesn't work: half the time lately. She's 'teaching him to play tennis, and he's up there every day. You just watch what comes of it. She's going back to town next ! week and then Stan. will find out how much she thinks of him. She's one of those summer girls vou read about Dick Strauss says she's got a fellow home and she's fooling up Stan she'll have somebody to go with while J she's down here, that is all." Tom's wisdom, however, failed in its design to comfort. Lida believed that Edna Macumber was in earnest about Stan. and she must break her self of the habit of thinking of him yes, or living for him, as she had done all this dear, beautiful, year past. « During the week that followed Fada fought with herself hourly. She tried to put him out 'of her mind, yet he was always there. She struggled to keep him out of "her heart, yet the longing to see him grew hourly Everyhody was talking now about the new attachment and wondering what it would lead to. It would be a fine thing for Stan. to marry a girl as rich as Edna 'Macumber; it would be the making of him No one seemed ft: regard Lida's feelings in the matter at all, not even her mother One night when Ton came home to supper he had something to tell. "That Macumber girl has gone," he suid { "Stan. went to the station with her and presented her with a bunch of bis mother's garden posies. This af 'ternoon he went back to work. and 'just in time, too, for the boss told him if he didn't steady down to his job fome other fellow was going to get it guess that shook Stan_ap some." gan : Three weeks passed. Twice Lida passed Stanley. on the street. She was unhappy, bat she felt that he was unhappier Dhan she. Her own expers ence with heartbreak taught her to ity him, Tom had hinted that Edna sO dead right, and said he wat glad of it. It served him right for making a foc! of himsell over that kind of a girl "Stan. went 6p fo town to-day to see Edna and find out what's the mat- ter," he announced one Saturday wight "She's only written ones to him since she went home." He laugh- olf "He find out He's good Venough to flirt with down here in the $o ry, hut there he'll " 8 dii- erent proposition entirely. ike as not she won't let him in Fo house. Lida pondered the thing inagony. It was ertel erness to lose what 'ont loved. She could not wish that he lose the town girl. "No, | would {rather he came back engaged" she soblied to herself.

GETHER DISAPPEARED. David Wilison's Colony Near Mwman. ket, Ont., Was a Peculiar, One, But In Doctrine, Customs and Mu sic It Was Far Ahead of Its Time-- U. E. Loyalists the Nucleus of the Cult. > Between Toronto and Lake Simcoe, in the County of York, is to be seen all that remains of the once flourish- ing sect called The Children of Peace. Of the buildings now standing, (if the carpenters under contract to re move them this fall, have not already done so)--the most conspicuous one is the Temple, about three miles north of Newmarket, its top two stories resembling in shape, nothing more generally than a world-old wedding cake, says Helen Pearson in Saturday Night. Its surface is badly in need of paint, and many of its 2,952 window panes are wanting; but for eighty-one years it has stood four-square to ail the winds that blow, an object of veneration to the aged; of amusement to the flippant; of meditation and wonder to the thoughtful; and of cur. fosity and late desecration to the tour- ist, the souvenir fiend, and the ven- dal boy. This building, with its extraordin. ary architecture--its vaulted ceilings and columnar supports; its lavish ex. penditure of labor in decorative de- tail; and its total disregard of utility, through lack of provision for heating ~these features all illuminate the per. jod of its erection ;--that of a vigorous young country whose imagination was fired with religious zeal. Buch, undoubtedly, was the impetus affecting the Children of Peace, and lifting them to the high standdrd of moral rectitude, educational promin ence, and musical leadership to which they attained, nearly a hundred years ago, when, isolated as a pioneer ¢ol- ony in North York, and surrounded by woods, wolves, and red men, they reared their young, not only in the fear and admonition of the Lord, but also in spite of and aloof from the persecutions of their less farseeing neighbors. For they werd far-seeing, and in many ways their teachings and institutions anticipate some of our most modern thought and prac tice, David Willson, the genius of the sect, was born in 1778, in Duchess County, N.Y., of Irish parentage and Presbyterian faith, and inured from childhood to hard work, poverty, and a sad lack of common schooling. Be ing orphaned at fourteen, "alone and friendless," as he ssys, he was oblig- ed to provide for himself, and turned his attention to "the mechanical business of joining timber one part with another." According to his own records, his religious life dated from 1801--the year in which he came to Canada with his wife and two small children, suffering shipwreck and the total loss of household goods (except the symbolic rim of a spinning-wheel!) in crossing Lake Ontario's stormy waters. Arriving at his destination in Bhar. on, (then called Hope), he found him- self in a settlement of United Empire Lowalists, whose religious beliefs were those of the Society of Friends, or Quakers.

In Western Canada, where one of the greatest difficulties with which, settlers have to contend is the clear- ing of the land of tregs before plow. ing and sowing can be begun, the use and their sterling qualities Dkewise, JB. CXPlosives. chiefly dynamite, b have been handed down through five geperations of staunch worth in the sons and daughters of North York. Hence the nueleus of the new or- der, derisively dubbed "Davidites In 1814, the first meetings were held in Mr. Willson's private house, but, the numbers increasing, a log build. ing was procured, and finally the Tem. ple was built. In 1866 Mr. Willson died at the age of eighty-eight, after which his followers were gradually ab- sorbed into other denominations Mr. Wilison's little volume called "The Children of Peace,' howeves, places him in the rank of original thinkers, and his teachings might réadily be expounded by preachers and teachers of the present day For example, his discourse on Sec- tarianism would merit attention at a discussion on Church Union. "I be- lieve an union of sects to be nearer the design of Ommnipotence, than when the world of mankind are one against another . . . . 1 cannot conceive God to be in parts, right and wrong 1 freely confess that I believe Berip ture. to be a sure evidence that we are a clouded people, each one according to his mind." The practices of the sect were am ple in the extreme. Mr. Willson fear. | ing the deadening effect of ritualism, | Sacrament and Baptism were regard. ed as spiritual dispensations only. Their special celebrations were their "Feasts," held twice yearly, and cor- responding to our Easter and Harvest Home festivals. Their mid-winter cele brations occurred on Christmas moru- ing, taking the nature of a service of song in commemoration of the Birth of the Saviour; and their mid-summer ones were a Memorial Service for the Departe, uch was celebrated io the local buryingground. This service wis a prototype of our Decoration Day, being featured by a procession, and led by they band. . It was in 1818 that Mr. Willson con. ceived the pead of a boarding.school | for the "Misses" of the district. Ae- | cordingly, a log building was secured | which served the purpose until ne | cessity 'compelled the erection>of the Square House. Here the daughters of hiy drill od in the principles of a god, literary education, as well as in the Arts and Crafts of the Home Comfortable, The mornings were devoted to the "Three R's" with their usual branches, but the afternoons were right merry | "Do. mestie Arts," were the subjects, and the pupils net only were taught the theory of their age, but had to assuine th) responsibility of their practice.

It was only recent. ly, however, at the annual plowing match and live stock show of the Rochester and Grayésend Agricultur- al Association, that farmers in Eng- land had an opportunity of judging the efficacy of this agricultural inno vation. A series of demonstration with explosives in clearing uncultivated land was given, which inciuded the breaking up of tree stumps, to show how quickly the work could be ¢ with powerful explosives. The charges wied for a stun seven feet in diameter consisted of a cen. tral one of 10 pounds and five of one pound each of gelignite; fired by eleo- tricity. The result was entirely Buo- eessful, the great mass of wood being thrown clean out of the ground and broken in a way thet made removal easy. The use of explosives for preparing the ground for tree planting wad also demonstrated. A hole about three feet deep was made, agd a charge of eight ounces" of chéddife inserted, ig- nition being effected by an ordinary fuse. The explosion loosened the strong sail lying on chalk to a depth of 3 fect B inches, and to about the same extent in diameter. It is claim. ed for the system that, besides saving labor and expediting toe work, it pro- wides a better rooting area for young trees. Ii has been proved that fruit trees planted in this way have taken root more: quickly snd made more rapid growth than those plagied in the usual manmer. The cost. of the operation is: from 9 to 12 cents & tree, and one mau osn prepare for sixteen Yrees an hour. Bl igen carried out on these i for loosening the soil have prov. ed very effective. four-ounce charges of gelignite were iaserted in holes rol» with the crowbar 3 feet 8 inches deep at intervals of ten fect. The ex. plosion left little impression the surface, but @he momentary effect was to raise the earth for a distance of { five feet to 7 feet around the centro of cancussion several inches above the ordinary level, and when du the subsoil was seem cracke and broken. It is believed that the effect will facilitate the spreading of the roots of plants, the encour. aging growth md reducing the risk injury from drought. The cost of the operation is estimated at $27.50 per sore, but it would be required only once in. ten or (welve years.
