1 NOTE A diary seribbled on a bit of paâ€" per with a charred twig has told all that will be known of the inâ€" :spector and three constables of the xoyal northwest mounted police who froze to death last February prisoner up in the far north, handâ€" «cuffed him, strapped him to a sled, and carried him back to punishâ€" ment through weeks of travel in a frozen silence and solitude which unbalanced the reason of the deâ€" sperado. At the frozen edge of an â€"empire the inspector and his conâ€" ‘stables lost their way and their lives where only Indians, who walk «ut in the wastes as a city man walks in a park, have inherited knowledge and intuition to keep them safe. The relief expedition ‘finds only corpses and a pitiful «diary. Down on the baked edge of the empire other "policemen‘‘ patâ€" rol the shores of the Persian Gulf, with Afghan gun runners squatting back in the hills waiting for Arab mlhows to escape surveillance and land rifles where they may be scooped up in a sudden raid. on the way from Fort MacPherson to Dawson. Their story goes into a yolume with many othersâ€"with that of the constable who took & A "‘policeman‘‘ with five weeks" furlough from this work and back in Londonâ€"a naval lieutenantâ€" gave a Daily Mail man an idea of what it is like: ‘‘We commissioned the old tub of a sloop at Plymouth â€"1,000 odd tons, with kennels for cabins and a cage for a mess; no. ice machine (all the cold air we made went to freeze the cordite magazine); no electric lights beâ€" tween decks, and not even an elecâ€" tric fan. I tell you we frazzled by the time we reached Aden_ and thought of two years ahead on the worst possible of naval stations. I did three weeks once in a cutter. Lived and dressed as pirates. Our parent ship forgot all about us and we lived a week on dates and watâ€" er.. You shadow a big dhow for a month, bursting with arms, but she flies a foreign friendly flag and you can‘t breathe on her, but only pray that she‘ll dump the rifles someâ€" where and go away and leave the rest to you. But she doesn‘t. She goes back to Muscat in a temper and starts all over again. _ You nurse detached cutters: up and down the most weird and barren coast Providence ever built. Take it from me, it‘s not worth three pounds a day, what with beriâ€"beri and Bagdad boils." ; It is shown that while the yield i wheat in the United States has nereased enormously, its populaâ€" tion has increased to such propor:â€" tions that that country has less and less wheat for export. _ Further, speaking of the new Canadian morthwest, the authority suggests that if the wasteful methods of the Meanwhile other _ "policemen" are starting out for the mountains of Assam to find out why certain tribes of natives _ which â€" knew enough to know better saw fit to kill an official and massacre his expedition. An English authority is assertâ€" ing that the impending shortage of coal and wood and iron supply of the world is siking into significance when compared with the menace the world is sinking into significance of food. Some of the figures quotâ€" ed from other authorities who have considered no more than the wheat crop in its relation to an inâ€" creased and increasing population of the wheat consuming nations have at least the interest which attaches to huge figures. _ Maj. Craigie, for example, shows that the population of eastern and cenâ€" tral Europe has increased from 167,000,000 to 267,000,000 within the last seventy years, while the wheat acreagse has _ diminished within this territory. He says that in the first five years of the twenâ€" tieth century Great Britain, Holâ€" land, Belgium, Germany, and Itâ€" aly imported 400,000,000 bushels af wheat ; oneâ€"half of it from Russia and the rest from other eastern countries. But the nonâ€"European countries contributing this wheat bhave tilled 15,000,000 acres in orâ€" der to produce it, and the heavy eost of shipment has peen addea to its cost. s AND CoOmMENTS B THE EYE OF THE SOUL "If thine eye be single thy whole body shall be full of light.‘‘â€"Jesus. What the Sight is to the Body the Instincts and Ideals are to the Soul _ The expression, ‘‘the single eye, is sometimes used with a ludicrous misunderstanding of the word &s found in our King James version of the New Testament, where it is employed in its obsolete sense of whole""‘ or ‘healthy."~ ~Well meaning people have exâ€" pressed their wish to have ‘"‘an eye single to God‘s glory,""‘ or to their duty, in which the idea is that of looking at one thing and not at two. The phrase. in our. Bible, however, simply refers to the adâ€" vantages of having a good eye over having a bad or diseased eye. The eye may be taken as the most practical and serviceable of all our organs. It puts us most in com munication with the outside world. By it through one lens we range the ‘ultimate stars; and, through another, we perceive the infimnitesiâ€" mal forms and motions of the cellf world. What the eye is to the body the instincts and ideals are to the soul. 4 As all the things we learn by reaâ€" son are small in their sum compared to the myriad things we learn through the glance; so the wisdom, virtue, commandments, creeds, and counsels we gather by instruction in the spirit, are sinall compared to that higher, quicker, more perfect, and we obtain by the direct sensing of one of our spiritual eye of feeling and appreciation. If you want a book in a room upâ€" stairs and if you tell me to go and find it with my eyes shut, what numberless and minute directions you must give. I must take so many steps to the right and as many to the left, and guide myself by the hands passed along this and that object, and the like! Whereâ€" as, if you tell me to go with my eyes open and bring you the blue book lying on your dresser by the pin tray, I can find it a hundred times more easily and infallibly. It is precisely the same in making one‘s moral way through life. +A few sound instincts and clear ideals are better than reams of rules. No system of ethics, saturated with wisdom of antiquity, and ‘approved Overseer at. Brockville Makes a Hauvl in Landon Bay. A despatch from Brockville says : Notwithstanding the vigilance of the officers there are extensive netâ€" ting operations being carried on in the River St. Lawrence in the viâ€" cinity of the Thousand Islands. Overseer Geo. Toner continues to spoil the plans of the lawâ€"breakers. He has just succeeded in landing ten sets of nets in Landon Bay in the north channel. They were all well laden with game fish. Two years ago Prof. Sylvanus Thompson showed that the wheat acreage of the world was 240,000,â€" 000, producing _ 3,000,000,000 bushâ€" els a year, and placing the per caâ€" pita consumption at 4.5 bushels for the wheat consuming peoples. _ In round figures, therefore, the wheat production was sutficient for 600,â€" 000,000 people in 1909, while the professor‘s estimate of the wheat increase in 1921 would be only 11,â€" 080,000 bushels, while the populaâ€" tion in that year would be 819,000,â€" 000 of wheat eaters. At the most, the argument against this early povâ€" erty in wheat foods is that with the increasing value of wheat lands the farmer will raise his average proâ€" duction to the acre through the auâ€" tomatic cutting down of his farm boundaries. As to the time when we shall be wheat hungry, however, there is no answer. United States are to be followed there, not even that virgin soil proâ€" mises a long continued certainty of supply. : A despatch from Berlin says: Cloudâ€"bursts, accompanied by heavy hail, caused great damage in south Germany on Tuesday. Six houses in a village in the Grand Duchy of Baden were swept away by the floods, and tbwelve persons were drowned. Four â€"persons were drowned near Heidelberg, where a mill was washed away. Eight inches of rain fell at various places in the south, destroying the fruit trees and crops, and killing birds by the wholesale. Sixtcen Persons Drowned in Deâ€" structive Floods. CLOUDâ€"BURST IN GERMANY. MORE INFALLIBLE WISDOM SEIZES POACHERS‘ NETS. by all the philosophers of earth, is of much practical use to a morally blind&nan. _~ The business of living a pure, true, and right life is, therefore, after all, a simple one, and not complex. Follow your deepest longâ€" ings, heed your inner repulsions. Keep sound and sane and follow your nose Mooncolpuestans There is more purity in the inâ€" stinctive shrinking of a simple maid than in all the infinite manoeuvyres of propriety. There is more worâ€" ship in the child‘s wonder at the thunder and admwration before the flaming sunset than in all the forâ€" mulas of heathen ceremonies Of Christian ascriptions. _ There is more true repentaace in the misery of an honest man at telling a lie or doing any mean action than in It is not only human to err, it 1s just as human to feel sorry that we have erred. The nobler, finer inâ€" stincts and ideals of life are as inâ€" nate as original sin. Every . man knows them. 1t is when we cease obeying them instantly and begin arguing with them, that we fall into the sloughs of moral confusion. > And what Jesus came to do for us was not to guide us from without, but from with:n ; not to give us obâ€" jective, external laws to guide us, but to awaken in us a lambent guiding principle. He came ‘‘to open.the eyes of the blind.‘" _ His dynamic is not implicit obedience, but ‘‘perfect love. ; This explains all that mystical | sounding language of the New Tesâ€"| tament that speaks of "‘Uhrist formed within,‘‘ "I in you and you! in me,"" "if any man will open the" door I will come in and sup with | him,"‘ and so forth. All of which: means that Jesus‘ aim is to be an| inspiration of the individual moral | forces, an unkindling of personal{ perceptive powers, the awakening of | the soul to its moral functioning.. | No man, no teacher, not even Christ himself, can guide a man, so as to develop his manhood as well as keep him from harm, exâ€" cept such teacher or Christ enter into a man, by his personal influâ€" ence, and strengthen and clear ‘"‘the eye of the soul." BAD FIRE AT SILYERTON, B.C. Three Bodies So Far Recovered From the Ruins. A despatch from Silverton, B. C., says: A raging fire, swept by a high wind, almost wipew out the city of Silverton at an early hour on Tuesâ€" day morning, and as a result the leading hotels and the business secâ€" tion are a mass of ruins. Three bodies have so far been recovered from the ruins of the Windsor Hoâ€" tel, where the fire is said to have originated, and it is feared other lives were lost. F. L. Fairgrieve, bartender, R. Fairgrieve, and R. McTaggart are the known victims. The Victoria Hotel was also gutted by fire, but all the people residing there have been accounted for; no serious injury was suffered by them. A panic ensued at the Windsor folâ€" lowing the alarm of fire, and a numâ€" ber were seriously hurt in their atâ€" tempt to reach the street. These were rushed to the hospital, where their wounds were dressed. _ The fire department had great difficulâ€" ty in saving the residential section. Not Even if it Means Separation, Says Acting Preomier. A despatch from Melbourne, Auâ€" stralia, â€" says: William, _ Norris Hughes, acting Premier of the Comâ€" monwealth, in a remarkable article which be has contributed to the Sydâ€" ney Telegraph, declares that Auâ€" stralia will never agree, except at the sword‘s point, to admit Japanâ€" ese immigrants, even should such refusal mean separation from the Mother Country. Oldest Engineer in Service of Comâ€" pany is Dead in Montreal. A despatch from Montreal says : Mr. Michael Fennell, the oldest enâ€" gineer on the Grand Trunk Railâ€" way System, passed away on Thursâ€" day night at his home in Point St. Charles at the age of 79. He was an engineer before the Grand Trunk was built, and for over fifty years has been employed by that company. Mr. Fennell had driven engines on twelve sections of the system and had never had an acciâ€" dent. He was known as far west as Sarnia, Stratford and Fort Erie, and as far east as Island Pond, Rouse‘s _ Point and _ Messena Springs. He had the honor of drivâ€" ing the engine which first brought King Edward, then Prince of Wales, into Montreal. 50 YEARS ON GRAND TRUNK. THE LONGEST LITANIES. NO JAPS FOR AUSTRALIA. DR. FRANK CRANE. TKE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Lesson X.â€"Israel‘s penitence and God‘s pardon, Hosea 14. Goldes Text, Neb. 9. 17. Verse 1. Return unto Jebova,h; thy Godâ€"Hosea has followed Amos in declaring that inevitable disasâ€" ter awaits his people because of. their iniquity. But now, with faith and patriotism, he turns to them with an appeal to repent and a promise of God‘s forgiving mercy. His doctrine of repentance, thereâ€" fore, is as gracious as it is true. He realizes how low his nation has fallen in the guut and shame of its degeneracy. But he knows there is hope in a God who is waiting to hear the cry and satisfy the hunger cof the returning prodigal. 2. Take â€" with : you words â€"-‘ True repentance is articulate. _ It will not keep silent and so give no. token of its sincerity, but will speak forth in praise and pure worship. Hosea saw that the entire manner in which Israel turned to God was altogether artificiat and lacking in earnestness. Her burntâ€"offerings were cheaply rendered. They could in no wise satisfy an offended God. \He wanted none of them. What he 1desired was a clean worship that 5expressed itself in heartâ€"wrung iwordsâ€"bullocks of the lips. Pentâ€" ‘tent confessions, yows, abhorrence | of sinâ€"these Jehovah will gladly acâ€" ‘cept as good. . 3. Assyria shall not save us â€" |There were two pulitical parties in Israel in these latter days of the ;kingdom. One courted the help of Assyria, the other favored re: | sistance of Assyria through alliâ€" \|ance with Egypt. The prophets reâ€" garded both these senemes as disâ€" \loyalty to the God of Israel, and accordingly frowned upon foreign 1entanglements of every sort, wheâ€" ther they meant protection from ithe powerful Assyrian, or the reâ€" ‘enforcement of Egypt‘s swift horsâ€" ‘les (cavalry). The foreign idols, also, lwrought by their own hands, were jequally to be eschewed as an ofâ€" ‘fense to God and as a worthless lsuperfiuity. They had Jehovah, iand he was more than all their |allies and made unnecessary their ‘hideous idolatries. The fatherlessâ€"This is a touch of that personal history which colors so much of Hosea‘s prophecy. Like his own childrenâ€"one of whom he called Unloved (one who knew not the pity which a father has for his children)â€"so were the sons and daughters of this wicked generaâ€" tion. They had grown up in igâ€" norance of the true God, and were not his. But he intends, nevertheâ€" less, to seek them out, to win them back, and prove to themâ€"fatherâ€" iless as they areâ€"that in him is mercy. 4. I will love them freelyâ€"The love of Jehovah is nothing that can be purchased. It is as spontancous as it is undeserved. It asks no sacâ€" rifices except those of a contrite heart, and where that is found there in a potency in the love of God which makes all things new. It6 is ready to forgive gratuitously, and powerful to heal absolutely, all our backsliding. So it removes the stain, as well as the guilt, of our gin. Compare Rom. 3. 24; 8. 32 Rev. 21. 0; 22. 47. & Lebanonâ€"Here, as often in the Old Testament, not the entire range now knows as Lebanon is meant, but Hermon, the loftiest and southâ€" etnmost summit. From almost every quarter of Galilee it is visâ€" ible. ‘‘You cannot liftf your eyes from any spot of northern Israel without resting them upon the vast mountain. From the unhealthy jungles of the upper Jordan, the pilgrim lifts his heart to the cool hill air above, to the everâ€"green cedars and firs, to the streams and waterfalls that drop like silver chains off the great breastplate of snow.""‘ Compare Isaiah 60. 13. 5. The dewâ€"Scareity of rain often made the land depend upon the dew. So the Psalmist speaks of the dews of Hermon. In the long droughts of summer there would be noâ€"living in Palestine without this gracious provision. Hermon itself is snowâ€"capped in summer, and the moist warm wind from the Mediterâ€" ranean, coming in contact with the chilled air about the snowy top, results in a drenching dew. What a picture, of the gentle pity of God. 36 HMis beauty . â€" â€" as the oliveâ€" treeâ€"A promise of national prosâ€" perity and plenty. _ _7. They shall reviveâ€"Under the nurturing influences of the divine mercy, as expressed by the dew, and the protection of his shadow, Israel is to blossom forth in unwonted beauty, fragrance, and fertility. 8. Ephraimâ€"Representing _ the people of Israel. â€" The verse has many difficulties, owing to the conâ€" fusion resulting from the use of so many undefined pronouns. . This confusion is _ characteristic of Hosea‘s style. Here, it cannot cerâ€" tainly be determined which is speakâ€" ing, Jehovah or Ephraim, or both. A good explanation makes the verse a dialogue betweeen the two. Ephâ€" raim announces his intention to have done witk idols. Jehovah reâ€" INTERNATIONAL LESSON, JUNE 4. MAN SEOT N COLD BL00D A despatch from Toronto â€"says : James Loughead, age sixtyâ€"two, of 63 Laplante avenue, formerly a printer, died in St. Michael‘s Hosâ€" pital at noon on Monday with four bullets in his body.. Joseph Jessiâ€" mane, age fortyâ€"three, of 69 Marlâ€" boro‘ avenue, elevator operator at the Toronto General Postoffice, is under arrest charged with murder. According to the police, the murâ€" der is the culmination of a longâ€" standing feud between the two men, which aroseâ€"fromâ€"aresl estate deal in which Jessimane claims he was financially ruined by Loughead. Lately, Jessimane says, Loughead has been circulating false reports about him, which were injurious to his reputation. S e Murdered on a Toronto Street by a Former Neighbor The desperate act, which Jessiâ€" mane readily admits having done to the police, was committed at the corner of Hayter street and Laâ€" plante avenue at 8 o‘clock on Monâ€" day morning. For twenty minutes plies that he has taken note of the penitent‘s prayer and will answer. That being the case Ephraim feels himself robust as a green firâ€"tree. But Jehovah warns him not to forâ€" get again that all the fruit of prosâ€" perity comes solely from him. 9. Who is wise, that he may unâ€" derstand!â€"To understand, in the thought of the prophet, was to lay to heart, with a good conscience, such truth as God had made known. None but the wise and prudent can so appreciate the message of this prophecy as to profit thereby. To do that requires not merely an inâ€" tellectual apprehension of the ways of Jehovah, but a practical effecâ€" tiveness manifest in walking in them. Mortality in Montreal Increasing With Hot Weather. A despatch from Montreal says : With the advent of midsummer weather the deaths from infantile debility and enteritis are on the inâ€" crease in the city. Last week there were sixtyâ€"five children under, five years who succumbed, twentyâ€"eight dying before reaching six months, and seventeen dying between six months and one year. Between one and two years there were ten vicâ€" tims, and from two to five years, ten deaths. MANY EBUILDINGS WRECKED.

A despatch from London says : Notice was given in the House of Commons on Wednesday that a bill would be introduced forbidding aviators from . flying over London during Coronation week. The Royal Aero Club has already given notice that any member of aero clubs who flies over the city during this period will be immediately suspended. This action was taken because of the danger of one of the machines falling on a erowd of people in some of the great public squares or renâ€" dezvous. $80,000 Received at Ottawa Mint and More Expected.

When Loughead finally ‘appeared, carrying a ladder, a few wordsâ€"passed between the two men, :Jessinlane being reported to have [said: "Do you want to ruin my ‘"house ?"‘ Then the older man turnâ€" ‘ed and ran, and Jessimane fired five shots from a revolver he had been carrying in _ his pocket. ‘Loughead fell to the sidewalk, four ‘of the bullets having taken effect, while the other man mounted his bicycle and began to ride off, but was quickly seized by passersby. The revolver, still smoking, was taken from him, and it was found to contain one cartridge.
