Cardin, Minister of Mar- ine and Fisheries, has given notice of a motion in the House for the advance of $5,000,000 to the Quebec Harbor Commission in addition to advances already authorized by ex- isting legislation. Notice is given in the Federal Par- liament of an amendment to the Railway Act which, it is understood, is designed to prohibit the smug- sling of liquor across the line in railway cars. The notice stands in the name or Hon. G. P. Graham Minister: of Railways and Qanals. Hon. J. A. Robb, Acting Minister of Finance, intends to bring down legislation to authorize the raising of a loan not exceeding $164,000,000.

Of course. I should have gone with them, but. it is never possible for me to Straighten out my personal problem under the eyes of others. \\'hen the minister is talking. it. seems rude to be inattentive. It. seems more than rudeâ€"even deceitfulâ€"to turn one's eyes steadfastly on him. and to turn one‘s thoughts at. the same knobby hunches that. would soon be blossoms. The soft maple was as red as the sunset. hazy with the. sudden fluff of growth on its many tine. little branches. Brave. little dandelions winked their yellow eyes gallantly from the safety of the grass. and that. grass itself was rich nd wonderful beyond any mortal deserving. Two things in common 'life I have always loved greatlyâ€" the rare rainbow. and the common grass. There is no use trying to ex- plain why one loves a certain thing. The feeling is there without explan- ation. These two are quite opposite to each otherâ€"one in the sky, the other on the ground; one. frail. inexplicâ€" ahle. swiftly goneâ€"the other sturdy. enduring. commonplace; one of a strange beauty, but utterly without. practical useâ€"the other quite as lovely. and serving mankind hourly; But did I say the rainbow was with- out value to us? That is not. so! There'are times when we. need the. rainbowâ€"times when our sick souls cling to its assurance that there must be a Godâ€"how else could there be. a rainbow? But the grassâ€"the kindly grass the bears our feet softly on its vel- vet. and springs again to place when we have gone on! \V‘ith what. cour- age it. shines forth long before buds dare appear on the trees.- or birds go nesting in the shrubs! And when the heat and drought of summer smite the land, the grass reaches strongly into its reserve of power. and with enouring greenness. holds its place until utterly overpowered. The. coolness of night comes to its ruffled the surfacefis‘the gogppxjans joyfully in for a bath. He had no ioyfuly in for a bath. He had no ear of the mud-turtles that live in it, but wanted a stick thrown to him as an excuse for play. Out he came, and rushed madly across the newly sown fields, in utter disregard of Sabbath Observances, for many a mature dog is still a playful pup at heart when he gets away from his responsibilities. All the frazzle was gone from my nerves. I felt quite equal to dealing .again with little girls who persist- ed in being little girls even when a too anxious mother would have had them with old heads on their young shoulders. The flatness of my dark cake became suddenly a thing of no account. One could live long and die happy without ever tasting dark or any other cakeâ€"but the sun and the good clean airâ€"these were .things that mattered. _ __ _ I sat down on a stump and listened to the myriad little noises that go to the making of nature’s. beautiful silences. Dry leaves rustled in the fine breeze. A slight stirring in the tree tops showed that the air was not altogether still. As I sat watch- ing, birds flitted from branch to branch, reassured by my quietude. The dog came back and sat soberly down to pant and recover from his outbreak. I did not moralizeâ€"I did not even think, particularly. I just soaked in the quiet. beauty of the day, the peace and serenity that were for my taking. and the sweet springtime promise that filled the earth. Soon the grain would show its tender sprouts across the fields. The. groundhogs that sat and meditated at the doors of their dwellings would have a fresh bite for dinner. Frogs in the pond would come forth to snap at flies. and blackbirds would mark with knowing eye the passing of the corn planter. fiverywhere life was springing strongly under the wooing of the sun. and the year was showing its power. I turned home, utterly thankful for the chance that so many long for. and so few may have. I knew that I am greatly favored in having an opmn‘tunity to get off by hyself and get the crimps out of my dis- position. The disappointing part of it is, that I still retain the. full ave-r- age of human failingsâ€"I wonder why that is? I'nder the. beauty of sun and sky, I should shed them as a snake sheds its skinâ€"but some.- how. they stick!

It has at last been decided that as many of the Trooo as can will go to White Cloud Camp this ear instead of the Tr00p haVing a ocal camp. Preprations are being made for a bigger camp this year on the Island. It is planned to have a number of boats and to let the boys go on over- night trips to the surrounding Is- lands and the mainland in them. Camp opens on the 4th of July and continues for two \vooks. It will be in charge of Col. McIntyre-â€" District Commissionerâ€"41nd Dr. Marshall of Owen Sound. The S.M. of thc Durhams will not be. able to be‘ present as he leaves on the 7th of July for Ebor Park Camp, Brantford. for a two-weeks’ course. The Durhams will go up in charge of Troop Leader Ted Clark. Already about ten fellows have signified their intention of being amongst those present when the boat pulls out of Owen Sound.
