The successor to the Duke of Con- naught, in the governor-generalship of Canada, has been named. He is the Duke of Devonshire, one of whom not much has been heard, but one who ig skilled, like most of the no- bility of Britain, in the discharge of public duties, He is a close friend of the King, which is a good thing, as it keeps His Majesty in close com- munion with the Canadian people. ir the Duke of Devonshire follows faith- fully in the footsteps of his distin- guiehed predecessor his term will be a blessing to the Dominion. The Duke of Connaught has identified himself with the welfare of our peo- ple, and, in his desire to make him- self familiar with this country's am- bitions and wants, is now touring it for the last time. He may be able to visit Kingston shortly. He will certainly carry away with htm, as did others oceéupying a similar office, the highest impressions of Canada, and in the years to come, in the influen- tial circles of England, will be able to do it appreciative service. Chie . Bourassa recommends that the French-Canadiang boycott goods and productions of English Ontario--un- less this province surrenders on the bilingual question. Could any ad- vice be more insane? THE COMING DRY SPELL. The Ontario License Board is tak- ing into account what may happen when the salé of liquor stops. The " Board does not cease to be when the Prohibition Act 'becomes effective. It is very probable that it will be busier than ever. It will be the _ duty of the commissioners to see that the law is observed and enfore- ed. They will be primarily respon- sible for the successful application of this law. At the same time the commission- ers will be burdened with the respon- sibility, which is the greater, of see- ing that those who have to travel through the province, on business or pleasure, are provided with the ac- commodation which they need. Cer- tain hotel men have been asked what they propose to do when their licenses to sell liquor have expired, and they ' have answered that they do know They speak correctly, but from a premises which perhaps they had not in their minds. The License Board of Ontario will largely settle the fu- ture of the hotel business. Its mem- bers are now making, or will shortly make, a survey of the province, and will seek interviews with representa- tive men who are capable of wisely counselling with them. The purpose is to single out the hotels which should be continued, and which, in their better equipment, will offer advantages thst will be fully appreciated by the people. It will take time to bring about these adjustments, but they are assured, and the result will be that the hotels, without the bars, will be more re- munerative than ever. The "'coniscience men," who refused to do théir duty as soldiers of the King, realized what they meant when 'they were sentenced to be shot.

There is no occasion for haste in proposing or deciding upon memo- rials, in the form of public monu- 'ments, and to the distinguished dead through this war. Some things naturally grow out of current cir. cumstances, such as the Edith Cavell _ Club in connection with our Colle- gate Institute. - "The young {and martyrdom of the young nurse, 0 during the next century, not | had just lost -her life in Belgium, and under circumstances which made the sacrifice significant, and as the pupils of the institute were disposed, to work for some patriotic purpose, it was suggested that they organize under a distinctive pame, The Edith Cavell Club was the result. This club is a tribute to the worth and is an incentive to sacrificial ser- vice of the highest type. After the war there will be a nation-wide move- ment to keep alive the work of the dead, and Edith Cavell"s name will shine illustriously on the scroll of honor. Doubtless, too, there will be annually a! national memorial day when the people of all nations and tongues and creeds, who were 880- clated With the Allies in the War, will offer tribute in eulogies beATlng to the theme, May 4th is the anniversary which the Americans keep each year In mory of the patriotic dead. Then the Grand Army of the Republic, or the remnant of it, decorates the graves of the fallen heroes, and re- There will be many memorials, and none so soul stirring, so universal, in British ter- ritory, as that which will call to mind the heroism of this war, and and by the mililons yet unborn, there will be paid to the patriotic dead the hom: age which is their due. Gen. Booth, the head of the Salva- tion Army, has a scheme for distrib- uting the surplus women of England on account of the war, among the do- minions. But will this deminion, for'instance, not have the same prob- lem on hand, and from the same cause? MILITARY MADNESS. Canada once had, under an old military system, a British officer whose annual inspections were the occasions of scenes more or less ex- citing. Wherever he went local corps, and especially the officers of them, were prepared for humiliation and insult, and they generally got what they expected The local cor- respondents of the leading papers were advised to be on the qui vive and note the effect of every explosion. Prominent men everywhere, friends of the militia and government, had a difficulty in restraining themselves The scarifying to which so many military men were exposed was re- garded eventually as necessary to the reform, the improvement, the trans formation, which had to take place in the troops before they could aspire to the necessary efficiency. With this understanding, reached reluctantly, and with 'much ecrucifix- fon of local pride, the British officer aforesaid ended his term in Canada and retired. Some years later a man was found in an English forest, wandering aimlessly about, a wreck physically and mentally. What brought him to this lonely retreat, | and produced the lamentable effects | described, no one could surmise. These effects were in part attribut- | ed to bereavement. There were! those, however, who attributed it to remorse, following a meditation over the tyranny which the aforesaid offi- cer practised towards his subordi- nates in official positions. A time had apparently been reached when he repented of his snappy speech and cynical criticism, when he realized how utterly irreconcilable were his words and acts with the authority he | was supposed to exercise in thoughtful way, and mind and body collapsed under the strain. There ig another man in Canada who is walking in the footsteps of this unfortunate British officer. Some day he will come to his senses, and it {will be well for him' if he can guard { against the melahcholia which | eclipsed another's stoicism and de- | stroyed his usefulness. | EDITORIAL NOTES. Dr. Bryce, of Winnipeg, predicts a great revival in the west as the result of the proposed church union. There is surely room for it, tn some places | at least, judging by the revelations in the courts. Sir Roger Casement blooms out in a mew role. He toured Germany, he says, in the interests of Ireland and of her freedom! He offers no evi- dence in support of this contention but his own word, and it has, unfor- tunately, been seriously damaged by his association with the Huns. The daylight saving scheme ° has gone to smash in Hamilton, Galt and Guelph. Local legislation was not respected. Something stronger is required. Perhaps a federal act will be passed next year, and then all the clocks will be changed and there will be no question as to the regular- ity of the proceeding. .

It was in India, apparently, that cane sugar in the dry granulated state was first prepared. The date of the introduction of sugar to England is uncertain, but large quantities of Egyptian sugar were Imported via Venice in the Middle Ages. In very early times the use of Sugar appears to have been un- known. The sweet sap of the Indian weed seems to have been first culti- vated in the country extending from Cochin-China to Bengal. Thence it wag imported to Europe under the name of saccharum, and used in me- dieine. It was in the seventh cen- tury that the art of sugar-boiling was carried to China from India, but Egyptians taught the Chinese sugar refining.--Tit- Bits, Many Cantabs at Front, Austin Fabb, the printer of The Cambridge Review, has been collect- ing statistics since the war began to | show the part taken by Cambridge men, past and present, in the great war.

Hand mm "Of Shoes and Ships, and Seall THE HOTEL TOWEL. The hotel towel is an imitation of a drug store awning which can be found in almost every hotel, after a careful search through the ' base- ment. It is used to remove travel stains from the neck of the patient, uncomplaining drummer, and is usu- ally made of sonie leather-faced ma- terial which is guaranteed against flaws or defects in workmanship dur- ing the lifetime of the washee. Some hotels .in the snmaller and less pretentious precincts do not keep more than one towel, which in course of time assumes a care-worn and low-spirited countenance. There are very few of these hotels left, owing to the teaching of hygiene in the schools, but whenever they are found they are always erected on a roller, which is pawed at gingerly by fastidious guests. Some states have stringent laws against the roll- er towel, but the law does not say anything about giving a man a room next to an all-night poker party or a bed alongside a steam radiator which can't be shut off by anybody except a licensed plumber This teaches us that in some respects the law is a crude and ignominious failure.
