Notable Paintings. Probably the smallest painting ever made was the work of the wife of a Flemish artist. It depicted a mill with the sails bent. the miller mounting the stairs with a sack of grain on his back. Upon the terrave where the mill stood was a cart and horse, and on the road leading to it several peasants were shown. The picture was beautifully finished, and every object was very dis- tinct, yet it was'so amazingly small that its surface. so the story goes, could be covered with a grain of corn. Taming the Cheetah In India. The cheetah is tied in all directions, prineipally from a thick grunnuet of rope around his loins, while a hood fitted over his h‘ad effectually blinds him. He is fastened on a strong cot bedstead. and the keepers and their wives and families reduce him to sub- mission by starving him and keeping him awake. His head is made to face the village street. and for an hour at a time several times a day his keepers make pretended rushes at him and wave cloths, stares and other articles in his face. He is talked to continually, and women’s tongues are believed to be the most effective antisoporiiics. No created being could resist the effects of hunger, want of slots-p and feminine scolding, and the poor cheetah becomes piteously, abjectly tameâ€"“Beast and Man In India.” Tunnel Discomfortn. The prairie dog that had started out to $09 the world was taking in the sights in a neighboring village inhab- ited by his own species. A hen seldom begins to eat eggshells until she finds one broken or until she becomes acmlstnnml to eating eggs thrown out into the yard. The safest plan is always to cmunblo them up fine before feeding. There is no cure for feather pulling except by more labor and time than an ordinary flock is worth. The best plan is to get rid of the guilty fowls as soon as possible. When ronp gets into a flock. it inva- riably leaves some ailment behind. The fowl Ihat has been subject to it ll seldom healthy again. Clover contains two elements that are in demand by the hensâ€"nitrogen and lime. It is rich in the elements required for the whites of eggs. The only safe way of disposing of dead fowls that have died of any con- tagious disease is to burn them. Under usual conditions a variety of food is better than any medicine that can be given. When chickens grow very fast, it sometimes causes leg weakness. “What is your burden ?” cried the priest. “What terrible thing has been done in Tivoloflsky tonight?” “Nothing much,” said Vladimir calm- ly. “l have killed two wolves.” He picked up the bleedingâ€"and un- conscious Denton and set off with him to a nearby cottage. The priest admit- ted him, knowing his voice. “Come. Papa Paulpofi',” ordered Vlad- Imir. “You are not injured. You are needed at Tomsk at once. But first 1 must get this poor fellow to a priest." Flinging Jansky from him with a curse, he stooped quickly, seized Uns- gethop by the legs and swung him in the air. He brought his head against the rude wooden wall. and the blood spurted from his mouth. Jansky, with chattering teeth. tried to get his pistol aimed at the giant’s head. but Vladimir caught him round the waist and sent him. as an Indian throws a spear. into the corner of the room, where he lay motionless with a broken neck. “And thls!” repeated Vladimir, swing- lng them apart and then together again. With his muscles of iron he brought their heads together with a crash. “Now pray to hoaveu,” cried Vladi- mir, “for this hour is to be your last! In this house you killed that poor old woman who had loved me. [lore you have come to kill the American and Papa Paulpot'f. Die like the dogs of murder that you are! For your crimes take this! And this!” With a leap he landed between the two. Jansky’s pistol and Unsgethop’s knife were drawn. Vladimir’s right hand closed on L'nsgethop’s neck. His left shot toward .Iunsky. and the super- intendent of police was powerless in that terrible grasp. "I am ybur'mastw!" cried the black- Inith, and the words were as If roared by a lion. POULTRY POINTERS. l'ro ma: CONTINUED.) Better Ont. Even the higher types of public men have come to feel that there is no reward for devotion to ideals, and slight appreciation of sterling recti- rude in public affairs. I‘hey see the rneaner politicraus. who serve corpor- ations. and organized interests. plot for the corruption of constituencies, and secure the withdrawal of election petitions by secret compacts with their Opponents thrive and triumph. and they ask themselves if it is worth while to struggle for better conditions and higher notions of public service. They know something of the heart- leseness and arrogance of the ma.- chine. They know that any failure to obey the party mendste or any refund tc’mpt the prescribed con- l ’l‘aking a situation such as has ex- g’isted in Ontario since 1898. and pro- lgressive government is possible. A fcabal of half a dozen members can bring Ministers to their knees at any moment. A corporation with a few retainers in the Assembly can pretty nearly exact any terms it may choose to dictate. Measures imperatively dem. nded in the public interest. inuSt stand aside if powerful private interests so order. The lobbyist is omnipotent. The reformer of abuses is treated as a pulilic nuisance. Min- isters are absorbed in the struggle to pacify and conciliate supporters who make impossible demands and trade upon the Government’s diffi- culties in order to exact concessions; for greedy and powerful constituents. in short. ofl‘ice holding. rather than legislation and administration. be- comes the Government’s chief con- coin, and partv interests prevail over all other considerations. We have all the evils of the party system with few of its advantages, and a growing indiSposition among the leaders of the community to engage in public affairs. As the Hon. Edward Blake once said, we have “lowered stand- ards of public virtue. andadeath-like apathy in public opinion, a subset-v- rent parliament. an autocratic execu- tive, debauched constituencies, and corrupted and corrupt classes.” all the sordid gang who prey upon Governments for their private ad- vantage. The inevitable result fol. lows. The corporations and the concessionuires are heavily assessed for political subscriptions, and are rewarded with subsidies, with fran- chises. and with privileges for which the people pay in loss of estate and in enforced contributions to corporate intertStS. The necessities of Govern- ments lead to dependence upon these hungry and conscienceless groups. 'l'heir contributions are used to cor- l'ttpt the electors and detnoralize the State. ' In order to maintain this edifice of rascality, huge campaign funds are required, These cannot be got by the voluntary subscriptions of per- sons who are moved only by the desire for party success. Except there is some issue at stake which appeals strongly to their patriotism, their prejudices, or their personal interests, they rec0gnize no higher duty than to cast their ballors for the party candidate. 'l‘o such per- sons citizenship is an impersonal con- cern, and the maintenance of public morals the business of politicians. They know that Ministers are shame- fully underpaid, that elections are expensive, even when honestly con- ducted, and that the men who pro- vide the money 'are likely to be influential in determining the character of legisiation and fixing the: standards of government. But the)" Pt'fllh‘fl tn rec0gnize their direct re- sponsibility in the premises. 'l‘hey turn over the business of the State at) the ward bosses. the patronage nuimgexs, the concession hunters, the at torm-ys [or organized interests, and] sf The dirty business which has en- t waged the attention of the Legisla- s f ture for the last few weeks is the .. ;natural fruit of the political condi- : i tions which have developed in this iProvince. ‘Ve have run out of the - {great issues upon which men natur- ! , ally divide, and as a consequence the l ' meaner elements which trade in poli- ) itics for personal advantages have I ] obtained a perilous ascendancy in the f public councils. Elections were I never so expensive, and the need for ,swollen campaign funds never so : ‘ great. Men who have been long in public life declare that fifteen or twenty years ago from $500 to $700 represented the average expenditure in each constituency. Now as many I thousands are spent in many of the electoral divisions. All the essential provisions of the election law are violated with impunity. Canvassers and committee workers demand and receive payment. Conveyances are hired and paid for out of party funds. Cash purchase of individual voters is extensively practiced. The adoption of manhood suffrage and the system of registration has greatly enlarged the area of corruption. The voting population of every constituency contains an element which regards ; the franchise simply as a commercial i asset. These are the particular con- 1 corn of the party agents. Often 4 there is a keen competition for their 1 'sufirages. Sometimes they are bought by each set of party mana- l gers. Personation has been develop- ¢ ed into an exact science. In many ( cases the contract to personate in- ( volves the obligation to commit per- i jury. Means are devised for pene- e trating the secrecy of the ballot-box ( and of ascertaining how each elector c votes.

John Boyd and Chief Justice Falconhridge than for that of any other two intelligent. citizens.

If in this the tribunal fail~.: the Government will Stand condemn-1 ed, and the judiciary will sufler.“ Strong as are party ties and partyI prejudices, and ready as the people! seem to condone electoral frauds. itl has to be remembertd that there has} lbeen a general faith in the integrity; and efficiency of Liberal Government in Ontario. For this much has been tolerated and much forgiven. For this the Liberal party has seemed to)I have an unending lease of power.' But once this confidence is broken; down. and once Liberals come to su- spect that there is corruption in the Government'as well as in the con stituencies. the end Will not be far away. The shock may even revive independent feeling in the country,i show the comfortable and respectable l classes that they have serious public; duties to discharge. and restore tone' and vitality to our institutions. Whatever may be the result of the enquiry before the judges. the policy thus far pursued by the Government admits of only one interpretation 'n the light of the record of Conserva-l tive Ministers at Ottawa. l It was hardly pretended that a more thorough investigation would be had before the judges, but rather that the enquiry would be conducted with legal solemnity and impartiali- ty. anda judicial finding returned W hen Liberals were fighting corrup- tion at Ottawa they were not influ‘ enced by these tine considerations. They cared nothing at all for legal judgments. 'I‘hey understood the pretences of Conservative Ministers who sought to escape the inquisitor- ial attentions of Parliamentary com. mittees. But in face of this record they now ask the Province to believe that the methods which favored con- cealment at Ottawa make for wide and searching: investigation at 'l‘cron. to. _There could hardly be a finer! from the party councils and the cer. tain eclipse of their political ambio tions. They feel that there is no independent vote in the constituen- 3- cies. and hence that they can remain I- in public life only upon terms of 1? absolute submission to the party 1- organization. The last few weeks in is the Legislature have furnished a 16 signal example of the overwhelming F- strength of party feeling. Very e serious charges were laid against the i- Government. If sustained. at least 6 one Minister must be driven out of 0 Parliament. and the whole Admini- 8 stration irretrievably damaged. An 1" 'nvestigation became necessary, and 0 according to Liberal tradition and 0 teaching, that became the proper 1' business of the Committee on Privi- D leges and Elections. Ever since 3 Confederation this had been the 7 course advocated by Liberals in the 3 Legislature, and in the House of 1 Commons. The policy was formally 3 ratified at a national Liberal conven- 3 tion a few years ago It was there 1 deliberately declared that: " It is the l ancient and undoubted right of the . House of Commons to enquire into i all charges of misconduct in office against Ministers of the Crown, and the reference of such matters to Royal Commissions created upon the advice of the accused is at variance with the due responsibility of Mini- sters and tends to weaken the auth- ority of the House over the Executive Government.” The Liberal leaders at Ottawa had proved time and again that the Parliamentary Committee was an efficient agency for the ex- posure of corruption. More than once they had refused to follow their charges when they were referred by Conservative Governments to Judic- ial Commissions. Hence there seem- ed no room for doubt that the Ross Government would send Mr. Gamey’s charges to Committee, and order a thorough investigation. But a very difl'erent course was taken. In this desperate crisis in the fortunes of the {Government. it trampled on Liberal professions and traditions. turned to the methods of Conservative Govern-l ments under similar critical circum- stances, and sent the charges of the member for Manitoulin to a Judicial Commission. Ministers argue boldly in the teeth of the precedents set up by the leaders of Canadian Liberal- ism. The Liberal contingent in the Legislature, including the Minister more particularly accused, voted sol- , idly to adapt the old Conservatism: method of evading eliective enquiry. ' Hardly a single Liberal in the con- stituencies has raised his voice in; protest against this bold sacrifice of; consistency and of principle. Women and Jewels. 08'.
