Dr. Lapponi, whose skill preserv' ed the life of the late Pope Leo XI11 to the great age of 92, and to whose care the health of His Holiness Pius X., is confided has written the re- markable letter of which the follow- ing is a translatiom :-- «I certify that 1 have tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the simple Anzmia of development. After a few weeks of treatment the result came fully up to my expecta ions.

The Minister, responsible for this sort of thing, was unable to give any in- formation as to the reason for so treating the property of those he is representing in his official capacity. The Dundonald-Fisher incident was brought up by the leader of the Opposition, who declared by resolu: tion that the Government had no right to allow the Malitia to be made a camping ground for politicians. It was shown that the Minister of Agriculture had not only interfered with the proper earrying out of the plans of the General Officer Com- manding for the improvement of the force, but that he misrepresented the facts of tae case in the House of Commons, by reading a statement 5 of the land J.

His Lordship complains that political considerations are allowed to inter- fere with the management of the Militia, and proves his case so clearly that theGovernmen' is forced to acknowledge and defend their mn: terference. The question is, is the Millitia to be made part of the pol- itical machine, or are politics to be excluded from it ? The attempt to raise ' the cry that constitutional government is endangered is an effort to draw a red herring across the scent. No one has questioned the Government's responsibility for the management of the Militia, least of all Lord Dondonald. --_---- Almost Every Woman.

LAKEY. 201s it is announced, the Earl of Minto, #8 Governor-General of Canada, is a serious-minded man, Earl Grey, who, } will succeed his bfother-in-law, with a beautiful wife. He is just the sort of administrator the British Government might send out in times of peace should care to accept an office is not apparemt. He has wealth beyond the dreams Stavarica, sires to live here. |. Although the office of Governor- General is a' mere shadow so far as executive power is concerned, it can be made important if "occupied by an important man. King Edward is a constitutional monarch, but he has made himself the most 'sonality in the British Empire. Lord Dufferin was a Governor-General with his power strictly limited, and yet his thumb-mark is plain on many a page of our history. His successors have exercised influence social rather than political, and Earl Grey should be able to wield the social sceptre with success and distinction. He is not a sportsman like Lord Minto, so we need not ex- pect Grey Cups at the O. J. C. meet- ing. If, however, there should be an unexpected political storm, Earl Grey will be a capable man at the wheel, Public Heuse Trust. Farl Grey is best known as the founder of the Public House Trust, which aims to control the retail liquor traffic of England, and elimi- nate many of its unpleasant featur- es. So far the trust has 130 licen- pes, and year by year the number is increasing. Each public house run by the trust ia made into * mini- ature hotel, and #6 not a 1 drink- ing saloon. Non-alcholic bever- ages and more solid refreshments are served, as well as the ordipary beer, spirits and wine. The whole en- terprise is conducted as a public trust, and not for private gains. Thirst for Work, Despite his temperance sympathies, Earl Grey possesses "the hereditary thirst of the British aristocracy," but it is a thirst for work. Sir Henry Blake, Governor of Hong- Kong, speaking on this point, once said: 'Lord Grey has taken the lead in operations against our great- est and deadliest foe--the foe that if not conquered will do more than all the enemies of all the centuries to check and ultimately destroy the on- ward sweep of the Anglo-Saxon race. That foe is drink. * * * Acknowledgements are particularly, due his Lordship for the interest | that for many years he has taken in | the affairs of the Royal Colonial In- stitute, and I congratulate the in- stitute upon having such a vice-pre- sident as Lord Grey." An Iinperisl Federationist. His Lordship is an active Imperial Federationist, as his record will show. His feelings on the subject have been expressed in the following words on the occasion of a public dinner at which ha proposed tha King's health before the coronation: "You will receive this toast with en- thusiasm, not only because of our devotion to his person, but because our Sovereign Lord the King is the incarnation of our Empire, the vis- ible embodiment of all ghose widely scattered interests which, though ex- isting in every portion of the globe, are yet focussed within the protect- ing circle of the British Crown. In this historic year, when the sons of the Empire will assemble from all parts of the earth to pay their loyal and devoted homage to the King, the chief feature which will arrest the world will be the strikingt evidence of the new strength which has grown to viger- ous maturity during the reign of Queen Victoria, and which rejoices to place itself at the disposal of King Edward. * * * It is the hope of His Majesty's subjects in all parts of the world that the reign of King Edward may witness before its close the crowned completion of that Im- perial Federation towards which the tendencies of an irresistible evolu- tion are hastening the Empire.' Settled a Rebellion. Apart from his activities in tem- perance and Imperial Federation cir- cles, Canada's next Governor-Gener- al is best known as the administra tor of Rhodesia during a very try- ing period. Earl Grey succeeded Cecil Rhodes in this position, and was in charge when the ugly Matabele war broke out. For the comparatively small loss of life which ensued the gallantry of the settlers is respon- sible, but to the administrator at the time is owed the gratitude for the wisdom and tact which hastened peace and secured ft permanently when once reached. Ever since, his Lordship has taken an active part in the management of the South Af- rica Company, the greatest corpora- tion in the world, and is at the pre- sent time one of its most sagacious directors. hen merely a promising young family compared with the Dundonalds, for instance, the present Earl, fourth of the ilk, has had some {llustrious an- costors. His great-grandfather, the first Earl, was one of the managers of Warren Hastings' trial, a leader fa the movement for the abolition of the debtors' prison, and on Fox's death became Secretary of State. The first Earl Grey was the author of the measure which abolished the slave trade in Great Britain, and of another which removed disabilities from Roman Catholics and permitted them to hold commissions in the army and navy. He was Premier during Wellington's interregnum, and introduced the first reform bill.
