Alrost Cui OF In Winter. In winter-time Manitoulin is al- most completely cut off from the rest of the country by the North or In- ner Channel. There, when the ice is PE ; you shall nd the twenty-mile 'oad on Gore Bay to Massey or pan: 81 r indicated by cedar "branches a in the snow. The ney be. Ya sa'e'y enough | Sm. en the sun has a higher ; shen the people of Toronto and Southern Ontario have commenced to ¢hed overcoats and soalskins, the "passenger who attempts the passage takes a certain amount of risk. The "ice is becoming rotten, and it will not support a horse and sleigh. Then the dog-team comes into use. The dogs of the Grand Manitoulin , are not uscless loafers like those in'these er latitndes. From puppybood, {if joy are of any size, they ave taught to put their shoulders up rawhide neck-yole, and to do their part towards pull ng the dog sleigh ; Dog Train No Unusual Sight. 1t is true that they have not as fauch work of this kind as their par- ents were called on to perform, but even nowadays the dog-train is no unusual sight on the Island. In the early sprin dozens of them cross the strait between the Manitoulin and the North Shore, hauling be- hind them passengers and merchan- dise. The wholesalers of Toronto, | and Hamilton, when they receive | mid-winter epecial orders from the merchants of Core Bay and the oth- er towns, are always instructed to have the goods put up in small bales. The reason is, of course, that the dogs cannot haul a heavy load Also, of disaster come through the sleighs going through the ice, he loss is so much the smaller when he goods are done up in small par- dels, Accidents of this kind are not many, however, for the Islander who has had much experience with dog- teaming, will assure you that the dogs can, as he puts it, "smell" thin fc8. He points, in corroboration of his theory, to the alleged fact timt teams which are allowed to pick their own wi seliom have acci- dents, while the team that is forced Ly the driver--who a runs be side the dogs--Irequently goes through' There is not a Manitou- Jin old-timer who does not firmly be- lieve that the dogs know thin ice from afar off by what the veteran calls "'the smell of the water coming through."' Dogs Smell the Dreak-up. Bo cocksurz in their ridicule of the | convictions of these hardy woodmen. | It is a fact, known to many a com- mercial man who has the Island and the North Shore for his 'territory, that on some occasions, late in the spring, the dogs, even when harness- éd, have refused to budge The drivers said the dogs could "smell | the break-up,"' and declined to start | out on the journey across the Strait. Two years ago, on an occasion like | this, a Toronto traveler, who had crossed to the Island two days be | fore, and who was very anxious to fered what to the driver seemed a | fabulous sum if he would take him | deross with his dog-train. The driv- er refused.' He acknowledged that he | would like to have the money, but he pointed to Lis team. "Look, at them dogs," said hé "Look at old Buckskin, the loafer He's a smellin' that Fast wind) an' He's told me straight as any dog can tell a man anythin' that him an' his mates jus' won't move a paw 088 thém Straits.

Bribery in elections is an ancient if not an honorable custom. This i#shown in the case of Shrewsbury, England.

Prof. Cody Depicts the Danger of Modern focial Functions. Rev. Prof. Cody, rector in charg of St, Paul's Anglican church, Tor- onto, recently preached on tem)er- ance--' 'temperance in the broad New Pestament sense."" The sermon was the third in a series on the cardinal virtues. The church was filled to the decors. Prof. Cody defined temperance as seli-control, or government of the lower nature by the higher. Coming to temperance in its accepted mean- ing he appealed for greater eare among. hostesses, and said: "If some of the tales one hears be true, much of the exhilaration felt by many of the guests at afternoon teas and other social affairs, partic- nlarly among the younger members, is due to intoxication--slight, per- haps, and oftentimes unconscious, but none the less intoxication!" Af- ternoon teas, he added, th many in- stances appearcd to be '"'afternoon drinks." The Christian Ideal. After defining temperance, Prof. Cody said that mankind was so con- stituted that certain parts of his na- Lure, were meant. to. he-governed oy of. parts, this principle being Lily as the Febraism, or re straint. The doctrine of Hellenism, on the contrary, taught that all parts of man s nature should be de- veloped alike. The latter principle, however, was condemned by its re- sults, as the application of it brought physical and moral ruin. The two doctrines found their recon- ciliation in the Christian ideal, which combined the highest elements |. of both. Such bodily appetites as cex, eating and drinking, when pro- re ly controlled, produced beautiful and beneficent results. One import ant applicalton of temperance was in the codtrol of the mind, so as to bar out unworthy and debasing thoughts, and the cultivation of high, noble and elevating ideals. Danger te the Mother Land. The real danger to the mother- land, Prof. Cody said, was the dan- ger of drunkenness. In this respect) Canada was greatly ahead of Great! Drilain, where the drunkenness of tha working classes was a positive dan- ger to the industrial supremacy of the nation, which could not hope to hold its own against sober competi- tors. The essonce of the sin of drinking was in the subordination of the spirit by the flesh, thereby de- throning the proper sovereign of life. The personal duty of the individual in the matter of drinking must be de- cided by each sccording to the dies} tat s of conscience. One must con- sider his duty to himself, to others,' gnd to God. Was indulgence neces- rary to rromote health, would it make the head clearer for business, and was there danger of the habit | growing beyond control? Secondly, was it the duty of the Christian to follow the Pauline principle, 'If meat maketh my brother to stumble, I will eat no meat while the world st néeh?"'
