LTEWON.S. H. BAKE] 5 A PILLAR OF ANGLICANISM AND ! 'as a believer in Christianity he was 'as simple as a ehild. His death removes one of the great strong pillars of Anglicanism and Liberalism in Canada. Sto innumerable are told which illustrate "Sam" Blake's para- toxin nature, his ability, and his Never, perhaps, but once did he encounter his equal in the employ- ment of invective, and that was when be once fell foul of Edmund E. Sheppard, when the latter was making Saturday Night a famous paper. Mr, Sheppard in one flerce- ly abusive article: sneeringly re- marked that it was Mr. Blake's de- light to spend his holidays at Mur. ray Bay, "swearing at a mark.' And probably there were people, who knowing of Mr. Blake only through his sensational utterances in Anglican Synod and else where were led to belleve that he was given to the use of profanity, Mr. Blake was, bors in Toronto the year its . incorporation; on Angst dlst, 1885. He was a ' son of Hon. William Hume Blake, chan- cellor of Upper Canada.' He was of Irish stock, which accounts for many of his charabteristics. Indeed a lit- tle reflection upon his qualities might lp ny of ae, Cotter. understan ; titanic in progress in Ireland to-day. Incidentally it: may be said that Mr. Blake, though = a Pratestant of Protestants, was a strong Home Ruler. He was recog- nized as one of our greatest lawyers, but it was through his deep interest in and religious half a century many are grateful for.

He believ- ed in the divine inspiration of the whole Bible. When at the synod last year a motioh was made proposing a "Bible" Sunday, Mr. Blake discovered a germ in the motion, just as he might discover a hidden technicality in ~ case. He saw it hu a tacit, though perhaps unintended admission, of the hi ériticism. Instantly he was on his feet, fiercely tearing the motion to pieces, and then he forced Beware, od ointments for catarrh £1 contain | mereusy, as reury will. surely estroy e so H il and completely derange Rr when y entering i t Jrusous surfaces. ue ould néver be used except on tone fom reputable physic. famage they will do is ten food you can possibly de- r mil's Catarrh Cure, 4d F.

Mr. Blake, though believing in a united Ireland, did not believe in church union in Canada. "Our Lord did not ask," he once said, "for a laditudinarian unity which would bind together all sorts and conditions of men, many of 'whom would only be Christians because they at times at- tend one or other of the Christian churches of the land." He - thought the churches must first get rid of a chilling 'worldliness, a tendency to mechanical services before real union would be practicable. He also thought that in missionary» work those claim- ing attention at home should be look- ed 'after hefore instruction of people in distant .corners of the. earth was at- tempted. It is only to" be hoped: that some: one capable of the task may gather material for a life of Mr. Blake, for it would prove both" interesting and in¥piring. A Courageous Queen, Queen Emma of the Netherlands, the mother of the young. Queen of Holland, was entirely responsible for the excellent upbringing of the Dutch ruler. Many charming stories are told of the devotion of the Queen to mother, who, on her daughter's 'cession .at the age of [ateen, ro reins po A ter pas mad 'Queen Queen y Bmnia 'withdrew 'to quite a modest Eatigagice at the Hague, where it i# said she 'a third 'of her civil list allowanee in eharity. Queen: Emma strongly instilled in- to her daughter the quality of cour- age. On bne occasion the horses of the Royal carriage ran away, and were only, stopped at the gates of the palace by a superhuman effort on the part of the coachman.. The Queen- Mother held her trembling daughter in her arms, and the attendants rush ed up to carry the child indoors, "Bring round another carriage at once," Queen Emma said. "The Queen and I are going back over the same road. A sovereign cannot be afraid." 'On another occasion the two queens were driven through a mob of strikers whose demeanor was alarm- ing. Seeing that the child queen was uneasy, Queen Emma stopped the carriage and led her daughter among the men. who drew back in confusion. She spoke to the men herself, and, seeing that they were nét really violent, Queen Wilhelmina smiled, and ended by giving them her finy purse. Bhi nee Frequent Robberies. An elderly woman from oae of the back countries boarded a irain at a country station, and afisr find. ing a seat, she nervously glanced up and down the aisle and critically gazed at her fdllow passengers. Finally she called to the conductor. "What can I do for you, madam?" politely asked the official, pausing at the passenger's seat. "I want to ask you something,' responded the elderly woman, with another nervous glance about her. "Dor you ever have any" robberies on this road?" ; 'Oh, yes, mada," was the prompt rejoiner of ° th conductor.

A. bill te enable the police authori- ties to enrol women constables is to be .introdue'd in the House of Com- mon# by Lord Henry Cavendish Ben- tick, Unionist: member for South Nottinghamshire, The officials of Scotland Yard have declared thémselves opposed to the measure. A spokesman said bluntly: "We are against the suggestion. We 'employ special women for spec ial purposes, such as vigilance work, and in all cases intimately connect- ed with women or young girls, to a far greater extent than the: public realizes. Moreover, in all our policé stations women are employed to look after female prisoners, and whenever there is a female prisoner a woman is constantly on the premises, Then again, we work in close touch and #¥ympathy ,with the many excellent societies that employ women detec- tives and. watchers, and we step in with our constables on a line from them.

"There should be no specializing | between men and women," she said; | "the community should have the pick of the best of both sexes. The doctrine of physical force and the] sex question apply less. in. this res-! pect than any other, as policemen' only exist by, the moral force behind them." Sy : ' 3 ; Wrong Foot. Speaking 'of the unreliability of sone alarm clocks, Senator Jaceb H, | Gallinger, of New HaAmpshire, said he was reminded of a party named, Sam -Benners. i Sam, who was a great gunner, made arrangements to go on a hunt- | ing trip at an early hour, in the morning, but having no faith in al-; arm clocks, he sought the services| of the night cop on the corner. { "Jim,'"" said he, instructing the cop, 'when I go to bed tonight I am going to tie one end of a cord around my big toe and throw thej other end out of the window At 4] o'clock in the morning I want you to pull on the rope and keep on pulling until I tell you to stop. "All right, Sam," smiled the police- man, "you will find me on the job." Late that night Sam crawled in, and after adjusting the rope accord- ing to schedule he was soon in the land of dreams. Hardly had he slept a minute, he thought, when he was awakened 'by a frightful cry, and then more cries, ana to his horror saw Mrs. Sam slowly sliding out of bed and going feet first toward the window. "Gee!" he exclaimed as the truth suddenly dawned upon 'him, "I must bave tied that rope to the wrong toe!" Philadelphia Telegraph Virginia. Creeper.
