He is not saying much--not nearly as much as the Hon. Messrs. Fergu- son and McGarry, but he is doing a lot of thinking. EFFECT OF A BOYCOTT. The Whig remembers the effect of a certain movement in Ireland during the days of the great Charles Parnell. He had, among his sup- porters, some very resourceful men. One of them was Capt. Boycott, who conceived the idea of having no busi- ness relations with the landlords who opposed the land leaguers' plaps. The treatment which was 80 adroitly and successfully preached was called a boycott. It took its name from the men who suggested it and who practised what he preached, Mr. Bourassa is seeking to revive the practice of other days by It Mr. Hay, the liberal candidate, be elected on Monday in North Perth, the local government can accept the result as a notice to quit. The people have very little use for the Hearst government, judging it by the gen- eral criticism which is now offered in the press. Combina- tion Style Underwear $1.00 per suit.

It remembers him as a citizen who was interested in all matters of a civic and progressive character, It remembers him as a member of the city council, in whose proceedings he took a leading part. Gifted as he was in speech, and possesed of a racy and rich vernacu- lar, he held the attention of those whom he addressed upon any subject; and yet he was not at all eager or willing to make speeches, and, as an alderman, was singularly reticent or reserved. AS a judge he served longer than the average span, and gave to the duties of his office the closest atten- tion. It must have been his idea of judicial circumspection that he should withdraw completely from public life, but he exercised his pre- rogative as a citizen of criticising passing events candidly, yet avoiding that publicity which would not have been incompatible with his ability or temperament, Finally, he was a man who loved his home, whose domestic relations were of the happiest, whose place within th& counsels where his pres- ence dominated will be very much missed. He lived quietly, at peace with his neighbors and with the world, was courtly in manner, as in practice, and had a mind at ease to- wards all mankind, So C. V, Price lived and so he passed away, bearing the respect of all who knew him. The young officérs who are taking a . cookery course at Barriefield are learning something that will be quite ag useful as the art of war. The art of living well is of infinitely greater importance. A ORISIS IS APPROACHING. The Canadian Courier puts the is- sue clearly when it says "that con- scription is not likely to be resorted to in this country before this war ends, but national registration ought to be, or must be, adopted sooner or later." The force of this remark is exem- plified in Montreal at the present time. There many men are employ- ed in producing munitions. They are more or less skilled in their work, and hence it would be very difficult to replace them. Yet it is announc- ed that' under the circumstances -- that there is no given plan for re- cruiting and the soldiers must in some way be procured---there is an invasion of the industrial eéstablish- ments, and it must go on. Must go on? Surely not. Ad- mitting that the war will continue for a good while yet, for many months, according to those who have recently returned from England, and who bring with them the current con- victions of the people overseas, there should be some way of raising the necessary troops without calling upon the employees of the industries 'and paralyzing them. "It will be remembered that in England, when Lloyd George became minister of munitions, he organized the forces on new lines. The mu- nition men were enlisted for a spe- cific purpose, and they were not al- lowed to leave the works in which they were employed in order to serve at the front. A large number of them indeed were ordered back from the trenches, and have been kept vigorously at service in the, munition factories. ~ Canada may reach a "tiie when a similar proceeding will be Srdered, | There must be registration if - the' ST vlupon, even partially, proclaiming a boycott of the French against the English, and he is not preaching it in vain. = Some of his followers, and high up in social and religious circles, are acting under big inspiration and making a vigor- ous canvass of the French-Canadian people, and with the expectation that it will disturb their commer- cial and political relations. It looks to be a far-fetched and improbable metnod of reaching a certain end, but the fact that it is being acted is causing some apprehension. The boycott is illustrated in to- day's Whig and in a cartoon of ex- ceptional merit. A man planted tree in his garden and looked upcn it with pride for a time. Thea he discovered that other trees and vegetation did not thrive in its vi- cinity. Its roots ran out in every direction and approprated all the nourishment which the soil afforded. It, in nature, became a great mono- polist. The tree typifies the mail order business which affects every local and business centre. It may be fa- voured for a time. Some people may regard it as a great conven- ience. Sooner or later, however, It must be checked, or it will injure other businesses, These cannot thrive while it remains, It must therefore, either go, or the other businesses must go. The cure 'g in its entirety. In other words, boycott the mail order trade aid do it so effectively that nothing of iis evils will remain. Even the comservative candidate in the North Perth election is against the local government. It is announc- ed that if he be:elected--"if," mark you--he will put some men, some big wigs, in their proper places. The people can be safely left to do this work and do it more effectually. A MINISTERIAL COMMOTION, No clearer evidence can be pro- duced of the decadence in provincial government than that which is pre- sented by its members. Several of them have been up in North Perth, studying the political situation, and by their "sputterings giving evidence of their disturbed state of mind, When Sir James Whitney was in power he did not take notice of the whisperings of the people. He did not act, like the $14,000 a year Mr. Lucas who enjoys the combined sal- aries of attorney-general and hydro commissioner, plus the legislative indemnity. Sir James may have stooped on great occasions and got his ear!very near to the ground, in order to hear what the people were saying, and then he skoke in thunder tones. He was for the time being a Boanerges. Sir James' successor in office com- mifs the folly (1) of allowing a sup- porter to accept of a public office and open his constituency, and (2) of ordering an election without wait- ing to think of what was going to happen, Realizing that a political blunder had been committed he hast- ens to North Perth in order to stam- pede the electors if possible. The day has gone by when the premier, or his attorney -general, even though he lifts $14,000 a year, can terrify the people, Mr. Rowell, in England studying the social conditions there, in order to serve the people of Ontario more efficiently later on, has been ac- cused of conniving with the liquor men in order to punish the govern- ment, It may be that the liquor men have a grievance against' the government, that they may be after Hearst and company for personal reasons. They may have certain accounts to balance, and they are going about it in their own way and without consulting any outsider.

Phrenology is the science of tell- ing an audience what is inside of a man's head by the bumps scattered hither and yon upon its surface. It is one of the most advanced sciences in use, as it reaches down into the personal and private life of the vic- tim on the stage and 'brands him as an abandoned cut-up before the hor- rified eyes of his neighbors. Phrenology accomplishes some of its most startling results when the subject is ninety-nine per cent, bald. It is an awe-compelling sight to see a dreamy, stub-fingered phrenologist run both hands carelessly over the glassy dome of a prominent business man and draw therefrom moral les- sons for the benefit of the youth of our land. The sincere phrenolo- gist is a stickler for the naked truth, i and unless headed off by a right up- percut is liable to spill a lot of in- formation which is of no interest to anybody except the grand jury, The greatest mistake the bigamist or the bootlegger can make is to place his head in the hands of a conscien- tious phrenologist and allow him to play upon it before the general pub- lic, When the hnman head appears at a distance to be round, with a man- Random Reels "Of Shoes and Ships, and Sealing Wax, of Cabbages and Kings." 3 sard roof, in reality it is a solid mass of convulsions humps, trench | es and thank-you ma'ams.
