Nine Wundred Acyves secured for Terminals at Pt. Arthur. A despatch from Port Arthur says: Acting for the Hill interest. a party of English capitalists have just closed adeal whereby the Great Northern Railway secures 900 acres of land at Port Arthur. Tt is stated on reliable authority that the land is to be used partly for the terminals of the Hill lines, when they are carried into Port Arthur, and that the Canadian shops of the Hill lines will be built there, cost- ing several million dollars. The land purchased extends along the boundaries of the two cities, the great bulk of it being limits of Port Arthur, and the bal- ance of it in the township of McIntyre. In the past few days several Great Northern officials have been in the city looking over the site, and the announcement was made that the route for aline from Port Arthur to Winnipeg has already been selected Work on this will start as soon as the plans fully mature, % THE BERLIN EPIDEMIC. Highest Authorities Say That It Was Surely Cholera. A despatch from Paris, France, says: Many people hére believe that the epidemic among vagrants in Berlin was undoubtedly Asiatic cholera, and that it was probably introduced to the German capital by way of Hamburg through immi- grants. Medical men hesitate to give an opinion. They point out, however, that the sanitary precau- | tions which have been taken by the Berlin authorities are exactly the same as would be taken for chol- era. It is possible, French physici- ans say, that the disease is the pneumoniac plague which raged with graat virulence in Manchuria about a year ago. A person of the highest authority, who refused to allow his name to be used, told a correspondent on Wednesday that the Berlin disease was _ surely cholera. PEERS CRE «Sern THREE MEN KILLED. C. P. R.

A despatch from Paris says : The } Figaro of Wednesday publishes a striking appeal to the world in favor of peace, written by Pierre Loti, the famous traveller, author and friend of the Mohammedan, in which he flays the rapacity of the European in regard to the Mo- hammedan. : Italy's indefensible seizure of Tripoli and her war on Turkey are, says M. Loti, manifestations of this mockery of modern civilization, sacre, at-war, and atthe spilling of innocent blood. M. Loti compares certain of the European powers to hyenas waiting to fill their sto- machs, with the remains of the maimed and dying Turkey. He de- clares the time has arrived for the Christian world to cease from hu- man butchery, for, he says, the Christians are the greatest assassins of all, killing with words of frater- nity on their lips, and destroying with fire and shot the old worlds of Africa and Asia, and treating like cattle the men of the brow and yellow races. ' M. Loti concludes: 'Wars: of conquest on whatever pretext they are undertaken must be stopped or the words peace, progress and ar- bitration will remain empty and derisive, and a shame to~ hu- manity." : BOTTLES BROKEN IN TRANSIT. Device for Getting Liquor Into Co- balt Accidentally Detected. A despatch from Cobalt, says: Another method of bringing liquor into Cobalt was discovered when the Provincial Police seized two commercial travelers' trunks load- ed with whiskey. The discovery was made owing to a bottle in one of the trunks being broken in tran- sit, the whiskey leaking through the corners of the trunk and strong- ly perfuming the baggage car. The trunks were checked for Hailey- bury, but the police took them off the train at Cobalt, and Magistrate Atkinson made an order on Thurs- day afternoon for the liquor to be destroyed. The owner appeared and wanted his property returned. It was shown that he was holding a commercial traveler's certificate, al- though not traveling for any firm, and brought the liquor from Mont- real. Oe) A SERIOUS Oliver Charette Attempted to Shoot His Children. A despatch from Ottawa says: Oliver Charette, a farmer of East Templeton, was arrested on Thurs- day and brought to Hull charged with attempting to shoot his two children, fifteen and sixteen years old, respectively. The accused, ac- cording to the evidence of neigh- bors, has been out on a prolonged drunk. Returning home, the worse for liquor he, picked up agun and attempted to shoot the children, but the gun, luckily, was not loaded. Charette then ran upstairs: and loaded the gun, but when he came down the children had fled to a neighbor's house some distance away. CHARGE. % MAD DOG SHOT. Brantford Fears Possible Outbreak of Rabies. A despatch from Brantford says: The authorities here have become alarmed at the possible outbreak of rabies.

The dog had bitten ayoung man who rushed into the police station for assistance, and the animal escaped to the outskirts of the city. Only recently several dogs were exter- minated here as a result of the visit of a Government inspector. ULSTER ISS UES MANIFESTO. Will Resort to Extreme Measures if Home Rule Passes. A despatch from Belfast says: The Unionist Council of Ulster is- sued on Wednesday morning a manifesto declaring that a Provin- cial Government will be constitut- ed in Ulster immediately a Home Rule measure has been passed by the British Parliament and that the most extreme measures will be resorted to for the defence of Ul- ster by the loyalists.

A despatch from North Bay says: An accident occurred on Wednes- day morning at Cochrane, on the Temiskaming and Northern On- tario Railway. The mixed train from Porcupine was coming into the station, when a misplaced switch caused the train to take the siding and smash into a string of coal cars. Conductor Thomas Ham- ilton, of North Bay, was severely hurt, and Brakesman J. D. Suth- erland, whose home is in Graven- hurst, was slightly injured. PRISONERS ARE HOMELESS. Fire in Victoria. Provincial Jail Caused $50,000 Damages. A despatch from Vancouver, B. C., says: The Victoria Provincial Jail was on fire on Friday.

EUROPEAN HYENAS FLAYED. which looks on tranquility at mas-. |INCIVILITY AN ELEMEDT oF BRITISH POWER. | England Will Become Decadent When Nation Ceases to be _ Rude, The xing recently criticized the manners of Englishmen and sug- gested that it would be a good thing to include the inculcation of courtesy in the curricula of schools, 'remarks the London Truth. Im- mediately everyone remade, the dis- covery that Englishmen are not pat- terns of politeness; and they began to deprecate it, and say what a pity it is, and what could be done to alter it? And, as a matter of fact, there are, few things on which the Englishman prides himself more than his rudeness. Courtesy has in all ages accom- panied downfall. The gentlemen and gentlewomen of to-day are pro- verbially at agreat disadvantage whenever economic conditions bring them into contact with the unedu- cated, Noblesse oblige has ruin- ed more persons than unwise speculation. France has aname for courtesy, so has Italy, so has Srain. Germany and England and America ae has a special brand of bad manners. Compare the, status of these two groups of countries. Napoleon had very bad mauners, So had the great Goths. Europe had reached a pitch of the highest civilization, and then the barbarian hordes swept over it and washed away all the traditional weaknesses. Bismarck was 'so renowned for bad manners that when he jostled the Papal Nuncio, and then merely said, 'I'm Bis- march!" the Nuncio replied: "If that is not an apology, at least it is a perfect, explanation."' REASONS FOR BAD MANNERS. There are two reasons for having bad manners. These, .are weak- ness and strength. Weakness we put in prison, and strength we call the eccentricity of genius, So we have a jungle and a zoo, with the self same beasts in both; but our relations to the two are singu- larly different. Paris was once a jungle, and St. Helena a zoo; but in between came Elba, which taught us again the advisability of prevent- ingsany contact point. The Wykhamist motto says that "Manners Makyth Man." It is quite wrong. - It is insult which proves a man is made. Servants work themselves to the bone for a master or mistress who treats them like the dirt on the muddy- road. "She's areal _lidy,". they say, "she's that 'igh in 'er ways. Never a kind word." The English abroad is le milor anglais. People do not love him, but they serve, him; and he knows it. It is not only a mat- ter of money; it is largely his sup- reme and unsullied insolence which takes him everywhere. No other nation can do all over the world, to the remotest spots, even to places to which you cannot get a ticket at Cook's, without knowing a word of any language but his own, and come back without turn- ing a hair. This the, Englishman does systematically and every week. He will condescend to learn a few native oaths in each country, but that is all. It springs from his sense, of power, and he would consider it a sign of weakness to abate one jot the rigor of his wintry behavior. He is used to governing savages and Orientals, and he has found that courtesy spells weakness to/ them. He is used to being curt verbally with his servants, how- ever carefully he looks after their welfare and he knows that his dignity would be gone if he spoke to them in soft accents of kindness. Bad manners of this national kind are the sign-manual of power, and | have something fibrous in them which does not for a moment ex- cuse them, but which enables the observer to understand them to a certain extent. MANNERS vs. COURTESY. Clergymen are, perhaps, as aj class the politest men in England. They have to be, for they preach the creed of all the gentler virtues. So we associate them with teacups and carpet slippers; and I have heard an Englishman tell a curate, by way of a supreme compliment, that in talking to him it was quite easy to forget he was a clergyman at all. The mildest, gentlest, best or all men in the history of the world was despised and looked upon as weak and a fanatic. Possession and dominion, phy- sical, intellectual, national, make for brutality; for a curt carving of the way through obstacles, and get- ting to the point with the least beat- ing about the bush. Resignation may be polite, but until a fresh horde of Goths sweep England off the rerch to.which she has climbed her manners will remain bad. In all ages the gentleman has been crucified or violently killed in some other way. This shows that we recognize astrength other than our own, but we are little dispos- ed to tolerate it. Manners too, have been brought in to disrepute by the circumstance that they are the first cloak to which hypo- crisy flies. But courtesy and man- ners are very different things ina certain sense. The heart of cour- tesy may co-exist with the husk of extreme rudeness. Courtesy can never be taveht, though deport- ment ean. But on the day when King George finds himself ruling over a "nolite" nation he will: find himself ruling over a decadent nation. O7 THE SUBSTITUTE.

How money shall I give mois RUDENESS OF ioe ae = Value of Products for 1911. Greatly. - in Excess of 1910. At the annual convention of the | Eastern Ontario Dairymen's Asso=| ciation, held at Campbellford last week, the president, Mr. Henry |. Glendinning, reviewed the pro gress of the dairy industry in Canada 'during the past year. During the | 11 months ending Noy. 30, Canada|. exported by the St. Lawrence route 1,659,261 boxes of cheese, valued at $18,087 450, and 134,500 packages of butter, valued at $1,- 732,360, an increase in the case of butter of $1,395,607 over the whole year of 1910. Our export trade was only 25 per cent. of the total pro- duetion. The highest price » for cheese in the history of the indus- try in this country was attained last September, when cheese sold for 15 cents on the boards. The past season had a lesson for dairy farmers, said the president. _ It showed at the dry peried the im- portance of having a plentiful sup- ply of water and food to supple- ment the pastures in the form of peas, oats, clovers, alfalfa or corn, so as to keep up the milk flow: Senator Derbyshire, of Brock- ville, in an interesting address, pointed out that the total value in Canada of all dairy products manufactured and sold in 1911 was approximately $105,000,000, an in- crease of $3,000,000 over lastiyear. He said that 1911 was a great year in the dairy industry. Quality of output was better than in the past, the goods exported arrived at des- tination in better condition and there was more money in the busi- ness. He advised the farmers of Ontario to strive for still better quality in all that they produce and especially in dairying. The farm- ers, he said, should get down to business and improve the quality and the quantity of production. To do this better farming and better feeding of cows are necessary. Of great importance in the production of pure milk is good water. The water used in half the places in Ontario is tainted, declared the Senator, and this must be reme- died before the acme of perfection in dairy products throughout the whole province can be attained. "Cow-testing saves waste. Tt individualizes and detects the use- less animated machines that do not turn out milk profitably. It em- braces a definite and economical productive power on the dairy farm. It means the prevention of a savaste of human energy in handling un- productive cows. We have esti- mated at Ottawa that 30,000,000 hours are wasted every year in Canada milking poor cows. Our human energy must be conserved on the farms of this young country and cow-testing is one of the most ef- ficient ways of doing this,' Mr. C. F. Whitely of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa made these interesting statements in an ad- dress to the Eastern Ontario Dairy- men atthe final session of their convention. Se ae ee THE KAISER IS FRIENDLY Germany Has no Earthly Intention Of Attacking Britain. A despatch from London says: Lord Lonsdale, whose intimacy with the Kaiser is well known, has just returned from a visit to his Majesty at Potsdam. In an interview on Friday night Lord Lonsdale sought to dispel the idea of German hostil- ity to England, basing his views on what he saw and heard in Germany. Lord Lonsdale said he could not possibly repeat anything the Kaiser had said, but he could tell thou- sands of things which would as- tonish Englishmen respecting the Kaiser's warm feelings for England and the English generally. He was quite sure that the Kaiser was unable to understand the positiyn which Great Britain took toward Germany in the Morocco business. Knowing as he does exactly what the Kaiser's views are in regard to war, Lord Lonsdale profoundly dis- believes that there is any grouad for a German scare in the country. Of course, he says, there is the strongest trade rivalry, but other- wise the Germans regarded the English as allies rather then on- emies. But, continued his Lord- ship, the feeling has now gone be- yond trade rivalry in consequence of Lloyd George's amazing speech when the German gunboat Panther arrived at Agadir. That speech, he said, created such an effect in Ger- many that it will take many years to live it down. If the Kaiser had not been resolved not to have war with England, said Lord Lonsdale, it would have been very difficult for any German Cabinet to have resist- ed the popular indignation at the / speech, but the Emperor would do anything rather than create a war. In conclusion, Lord Lonsdale said: --'T defy anybody to prove me wrong when I say that Germany has no earthly iatention, and never had an intention, of attacking Britain." ~ hea PIRED INTO HOTEL WINDOW.

Photographing the tiger in his na- tive jungle must be an exciting sport, judging from the accounts of Cherry Kearton who has just re- turned to London after visiting India and Buireo, Mr, Kearton gives the folioving account of how he cinema.ographed a large tiger. "Tt took me twenty days before I could find the tiger, though tiger spoor was picntiful. The tiger I got had seized abullock by the nose, had dragged him on all fours into dense jung!: forming a tun- nel by doing so, "J went on my hands and knees along part of this tunnel, and found one of the legs of the bul- lock newly eaten. 'So I returned and arranged a drive with 400 men, cleared a space in the jungle 15 yards wide where the tiger was to be driven, put up a thin leaf screen to hide me from the beast and waited on the ground--not up a tree--for him. "YT had no firearms, but I had three spearmen lying on the ground beside me. Photographs taken from the tree would not give the true result. "T waited there for half an hour. I knew that the t*ger was arproach ing by the beaters, who were up trees, tapping like woodpeckers. The others were on the ground, thaking hideous sounds with every noisy thing they possessed. "The tiger came down the tun- nel and out into the, open, and I photographed him. Directly he got half way across he gave vent to a number of most terrific coughs. 'When he had gone, the game ranger, a native, who was on the ground beside me, got up and said, 'That tiger is over eleven feet long, the biggest tiger I have ever seen.' "The natives wanted me to kill come a man-eater--stealing village cattle is always the sign that that is going to happen. They could not understand why I only wanted to turn a handle at the animal. "Fifteen men, saying that they would be his next victims, got be- hind a bush with spears, and when the tiger was driven up to them their weapons, "The tiger leared from the dense jungle, the man on the right and the man on the left bolted, the man in the middle turned round to emu- late them, but fell on his face. "Upon him the tiger threw him- self with his claws in his shoulder like a flash of lightning, and put his head down to the back of the man's neck. "T--six to eight feet up atree-- shouted, thinking he. was going to bite through the man's spinal column. The beast) looked up. at me, gave. another his great coughs, growled savagely at me-- and disappeared into the jungle." ¥, Oo) CALCUTTA'S PAGEANT. Brillant Eatertainment in Honor of King and Queen. A despatch from Calcutta says: Six thousand actors and over 200 elephants took part on Friday in the magnificent Calcutta pageant, re- presenting scenes in India's history, which was arranged for the enter- tainment of King George and Queen Mary. In onder to avoid hurting the natives' feelings the producer, Frank Lascelles, who is well known in America, where he conducted the Hudson River and Quebec Ter- centenary spectacles, received strict orders to deal chiefly with the times when the old Indian emperors were in the zenith of thelr power.

HEALTH} GVALAVQSETVWSOVSSEOEE | "18 IT RIGHT TO DO THAT?" This question is eenstantly put to every doctor, often about matters concerning which he cannot make a definite reply, People ask. 'Do you think it is right to bathe in hot water?' 'Do you 'think it is right to bathe in eeld water?' '""Do you think it is right to drink cof- fee?' "Do you think it is right to wear cetton next the skin?' as if all these things were "right" or '"'wrong," irrespective of the indi- vidual case. If we dared to attempt an epi- gram we should say that suicide is -- the only thing a man must never commit. If this is found too gen- eral, the answer is that hygienic rules must be general in their state- ment, but individual in their appli- cation. "Ts it right to bathe in cold water?' Right for whom, when, where, how? A strong young man looks on the cold morning plunge as a life-giver, and could not be persuaded to miss it at any season. The view of it is perfectly correct for that person. t is a life-giver, and the fact is proved by the exqui- site sensations of increased vitality ee that follow it. Yes, itis 'right to -- bathe in cold water." - Then some anemic person with a poor blood circulation. goes and does likewise--with what result? An- imperfect reaction. shown by chat- tering teeth, fatigue, chilllness, and all thé signs of depressed vi- tality--no, it is wrong to bathe in cold water. In matters of health, jeach person possesses a personal equilibrium, the maintenance of which means health for him; gen- -- eral maxims must be tested, modi- ~ fied, and applied to his particular case. ¢ Perhaps the most pernicious of all foes to health is the "fad." The 'spirits of the expert in hygiene sink ito zero when he reads that open- | work silk stockings are to be worn i by young women through the win- ter season, or that while skirts re- | main so narrow, it will be out of the question to wear petticoats under them. Ho is perfectly aware that thousands of young women will follow the dangerous fashions and remain unscathed; for he knows that there are thousands of young women who cannot be killed' except with a club, : But already he is, metaphorical- ly speaking, in tears for the thou- sands of other young women who will follow suit rather than look queer--the helpless candidates for grippe. bronchitis and pneumenia. --Youth's Companion. mare THE BEST MEDICINE.
