Morphy, %. C., of Listowel, and James Torrance, M. P. P., of Milverton, an their candidates 'for the Dominion and local contests, re- spectively. Mr. Torrance has alroady achieved a reputation at Toronto, and in in the opinion of his fellow-citizens. North Perth is typical of a certain class of ridings, particularly in Ontario, where a city or large town joined with townebips surrounding it has to agree on Though it shonld not be so, the average city man has the idea that he should be repres- ented by a city man. The er has a similar idea with respect to his ideal candidate. To bring about a satisfactory The choice should be satisfactory to both classes. Mr. Morphy has been in touch with the farmers of hia riding for many years, is almost as well known in Stratford as in his home town, Listowel, and the fact that Stratford has for so long monopoli- zed the representation makes this a very fitting time for recognizing the claims of the northern part of the riding. Ag far question of his ability to fittingly repre- sent his riding- That his constituents are solid for him was plainly in evidence at ob Milverton on Tuesday when they gave him an ovation. 8 nservative party in North Perth do well to be prepared for the contest. The uncertainty of the out look makes it possible that an election announcement may come at any time.

When it waa discovered that the Premier was io trouble in England ow. ing to the fact that be did not under- stand the effect of the reciprocity a- greement, and could not explain its terms, and when it was learned that he had called for Mr. Fielding to come over aap help him, there was the usual official denial and expostula- tion. "tt was given out that Mr. Field. ing had gone to Earope for o rest. It was a mighty rush fora man going to take arest. Most folk rest in some other fashion. And it is possible to reat in Canada. That the Government has Prepared its plans fora sudden appeal to the people shows anything may bo expected at any moment. The voters' lista are now being printed at the Gov- ernment Printing Bureau.

Themas Jefferson's Opinion of the Ora- tor and Patriot. When William Wirt was engaged in writing the memoira of Patrick Heory be turned for tnformation to Thomas Jefferson, who had been associated with the orntor for many years, ask- ing his ald in furnishing blograpbical material for the work. The correspond: ence between Wirt and Jefferson, pub- Ushed In the Pdinsyivania Magazive of History and phy, from the manuscript collection of John Gribbel, has o decidedly interesting passage showing the opinion Jefferson held about his famous colleague. Iu seein to Wirt's first request Jefferson plies with an assent and-adds a an eral and unfavorable summary of Henry's character: "He was certainly tbe man who gave the first impulse to the ball of revolu- tion, were I-to his: aspect. I think ~ the best bumored man in society I almost ever knew, and the greatest orator that ever lived. be had a consumate knol- edge of the human heart, which dl- recting tho efforts of his eloquence enabled him té¢ attaln a degree of pop- ularity with the people at large never perbaps equalled. his judgment in other matters was inaccurate. in mat- ters of law it was not worth a copper: he was avaricious & rotten hearted. his two great passions were the love of money & of fame; but when these came into competition the former pre- dominated. Lf the work you propose is not destined to come out speedily I will endeavor torecollect what may be of use to it." Modern Kitchens at Sea. The term "son of a sea cook" is no longer a tithe of reproach. The highly paid specialist who presides over the kitcbens is a chef with on Iipterna- tional reputation. The menu at the end of the longest sea voyage gives no indication that the ship has not been supplied from land. Immense stores of fresh meats, vegetables, fruits and even flowers must be carried. The kitchens are pancill clean, with thelr tiled floors, glass tables and sbelves, as are alsp the cold storage rooms. To keep a kitchen in order is a far more dificult problem at sea than on land.--Cassiler's Magarine, Located It Exactly. With his jaw swollen so as to nearly close his eye, a_sailor rushed into a dentist's office and told the dentist to extract an aching tooth as soon as pos- sible. After getting the man seated fn the chair the doctor asked which tooth be wisbed pulled, and tbe sallor, nearly crazed by pain, lost no time in saying, "Upper deck, second one from aft, port side."---Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.
