If she had abode more strictly by the Algéciras convertion Spain and then Germany would have had mo opportunity to interfere. -- According to the Algeciras conven- tion France and Spain were jointly to keep order among ithe Sultan's tribes and support this government but without any extended{ occupation of territory ot exclusive commercial rights such as those divided between Russia and great Britain in Persia. Germany allowed the French to offi- cer and organize some of the Sul- tan's troops.. while French. capitalists bought him up body and soul. by ex- tewsive loans. She allowed also a French occupation of the district round Casa Blanca. where the French have built up am excellent army of the warlike Arabs. But when this expedition to Fez was launched on the humbugging pre- text that the Sultan and European residents were in danger there. Span- provoked to the seiz- ure of Alcazar. and German impat- ience rapidly worked up to the coup at Agadir. As a signatory to the treaty of Al- geciras. Germany has a right to in- tervene when the terms of the treaty seem to be too far strained by an- other signatory Tho fact is, it has been the inevitable tendency that the power which polices and finances so shaky a realm as Morocco | should gradually tighten its grip into protectorate. and perhaps the hasty advance on Kez was only an anticipa- tion of what was bound to come soon- er or later. It would appear. that Spain and Germany see something like this. and that Spain seeks to get a ahare in the coming partitioning of Morocco. while Germany ia more than half ready to wink at France gaining the lion's share providing that France will make certain territorial conces- sions there and elsewhere. The fears expressed 'by some Ger- man newspapers that, tha conquest of Morocco would provide France with fine army material for the Rhine can- Inot be very genuine. For although ithe Arabs may mako splendid soldiers aes the Germans may look back into ithe distant past when one of their femperors. Frederick II. 'used Arab | troops in Italy to striking effect. yet lit is clear that Germany is © more eager for a liberal concessiom of a) rather |. SHORT STORIES RETOLD. HOW HE GOT BACK. The book agent approached. respect- fully the deskt of James S. Sherman. the Vice-President of the United Stat- es. Saying ;-- - "This set of books is for you. free of charge. There are a few celebrat- ed men ta whond we wish to give a set thus affording you pleasure and zZiving the books valuable advertise- magnt. Please sign this receipt." Mr. Sherman signed and smiled the books were handisome. Three months later another agent appeared asking payment for the books, : "But they were presented) to me" objected the Vice-President. "In return for the receipt and promise to pay." explained/ the agent smoothly producing the paper Sher- man had signed. The Vice-President sighed. made out his cheque for the required am- ount said something about being stung and was about to hand the cheque over. On second thooght he drew it back and wrote on it this en- dorsement ;-- ' "This check is in full payment for a set of books which' are mot worth a [OVER-WORKED | KIDNEYS Cause, Rush of Blood, Full- ness, Dizziness. J. T. Chetland, the well-known rail- way engineer of Hamilton, found the strain always resting upon men of his occupation vastly intensified by a tendency of the blood to rush to his head, and often at times when clear- ness of vision and great steadiness were demanded. Finding some diffi- culty in bending--a stiffness with pain having settled in his back, it oc- curred to him that his kidneys might be at fault. "This was a happy idea, for by it I not only sce rid Of the pain but many other troubles as well. I took a full dose of Dr, Hamilton's Pills and was glad to note that some ob- struction of the kidneys, which I had lately noticed, was at once relieved. The flushed appearance of my face gave way to a more rational color and there was a perceptible improvement in my appetite. Dr. Hamilton's Pills certainly act splendidly upon the dar. put the money is cheerfully paid in acknowledgement of tihe smooth way in which a gentlemanly book agent put it over your Uncle Jim." es2eee NO LAUGHING MATTER A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. referring to the statement of Miss Johnston in "The Long sense of humor and no understanding for a joke." relates this incident.

It iywill be very interesting! to learn just where each denomination stands. and what work they have done in the past decade. The first Dominion cen- sus taken in 1871. shows that of the Protestant denominations the Metho- dists was first, numerically. the Pres- byteriams second. and the Anglicans third, The census of 1901 showed the Game. In the decade 1871-81. the rat- io of increase amongst Anglicans was 16.2 per cent: im the decade 1881-91 it was 12.4 and in the decade 1891-'01 it dropped to 5.3, In this declining rat- io of increase. however, the Anglican church is not alone. All of the three other large denominations show the game decline. The ratio of increase in the Methodist church for the de- cade 1871-81 wag 31 per cent. In the following decade it was only 14, and in the decade 1891-01 it had declined to 8.1. The ratio of increase in the Roman Catholic church for the first 'decade was 20 per cent. for the sec- ond decade 11,2. and for the third 11.9 In the Presbyterian church the rat- ios of increase in the three decades were 24, 11,2 and 11.15 per cerit. In | 1871 the proportion which the Angli- eans bore to tha whole population of (Canada was 11.17 per cent.,; in 1881 it was 13.20 pe# cent.; in 1891. 13.37 per cent.; and in 1901, 12.67 per cent. --a decline in the thirty years of one and a half per cent,; The proportion of the Roman Catholics to the whole nonulation declined in about the same degree. In 1871 it was.42.86 per cent: in 1881 41.43 per cent.;in 1891, 41.22 per cent. and in 1901 41.51 per cent.-- a Gecline of 1.35 per cent. The Pres- byterian church maintained its pro- portion steadily through the three de- eades. In 18,71-its proportion was 15. 63 per cent,,; im 1881, 15,62 per cent. Of the four' denominations the Metho- Deathly Cramps, Stomach was Bloated A Bad Case That Proves Cramps and Stomach Dis- orders are Cured Fast by Nerviline. "The distress I suffered from cramps '| last summer was so severe I thought it meant death," writes P- R. Emerson, of Guys Hill, P. O. "I was doubled up with pain and in such bad shape I .couldn't walk a hundred feet. I re- membered having Nerviline on hand and took half a teaspoonful in sweet- ened water. In five minutes I was well and my stomach derangements disap- peared entirely." ; NERVILINE AN INSTANT RELIEF For cramps, flatulence, diarrhoea and Nervillne knows~no equal--one million bottles used every year--fifty yéars on, the market, that's proof enough of its merit.
