The routine work and assured, if modest, income removed him from the stress of living for which his sensitive temperament unfitted him. and the work had its compensations in the regular periods ‘oi leisure it allowed. Mr. Lampman spent his van cations among the forests of the Ottawa, and there one autumn over- exerted himself on a canoeing trip and brought on the lesion of the heart, which resulted in his too early death.

A Dou‘. hobor community in the Canadian Northwest has suddenly asked itself by what right it kept its herds of domestic beasts in subjec- tion. To ask the question was fatal. Once admit the idea of rights in this connection, and the whole fabric of animal senvitude on Which our dvili- zation rests must crumble away . . The Doukhobors after all haie only giVen an honestly concrete tuin to an abstraction which has long been an obsession in modern thought The modern Diropean lan- guages are much too rich in abetract terms. It is our facility in dealing in words like “territory" and "Sphere of influence" that make- war pos- sible. Ii we thought instead 01 the meadows, the (arms. and the homes we should seldom send a Maxim gun abroad. So it is with the case at the animals. For lilo in the abstract we have all of us developed an almost morbid reverence. We ehrink from the responsibility oi capital punish- ment, while we heartily doom the criminal to a death in life more terri- tying than torture itself. To prolong the tor-meats of a dying man we ran- sack every artifice of the laboratory, and pump oxygen into a frame that can only live to sufler. What we lack is rather the respect for individual lives. The mystery of the biological processes impresses us profoundly, and we hesitate to stop the curious machine which breathes and moves and assimilates. It is the aesthetic sense that fails us. We do not rea- lize enough the worth of a wild crea- ture moving with grace in its own haunts and fulfilling in its own Way the instincts that are so much more complex than the physiological busi- ness that somehow stirs our veneraâ€" tion. . . . In strict logic. indeed. it is hard to find a justification for a middle course in the ethics oi animal employment. Either one admits or one "denies that animals have rights.
