70 mo. unmmns Miss Maizphail has given notice of motion to reduce the sessional in- demnities. It is quite a sale stand and may easily be regarded by her constituents as an eflort towards economy, while there is no possible likelihood of the measure being brought into effect. Miss Macphail may be sincere in her belief that a 84.000 indemnity is too much for the services rendered and could be re- duced by a thousand dollars and still haw.- snme (if them overpaid. In her [ire-election speeches she told her mnstituents that, if elected. she would not accept more than 32,5“). and rarriml out her promise at the PIN! of the session by returning the $500. less the tax for which she was liable on her assessihle income. We thought at the time, and think Sn «till. that Miss Manhail made a. mistake in her preâ€"election talk atwut the $2,500 indemnity. and in the face of her promises the only honorable. thing she could do was to return the money. She is just as much entitled to the full indemnity as others who are getting it, and she'll get no credit for returning it to the Government. Mr. Leeson, too, has made a mistake in dividing his extra inclemnities among the differ- ent. municipalities. No individual will feel the richer by his action and when election time comes round it will not be much of a help. Whether the indemnities were too high or not they should have kept. what. was ruming to them: “(the a boy everything he wants and some day he‘ll want a pardon from the Department of Justice.” To see. an over-indulgent fool of a fath- er allowing a cub of a boy to lead him round by the nose is a most distressing sight to any person with enough imagination in his make-lip to enable him to look into the distant future. The boy who is allowed everything he wants and expects everything he asks for is laying up a load of trouble for the kind and in- dulgent old man whose later sorrows are only in the making. We have a strong belief in the kindly feelings that should be felt by a parent, to his child, but we are equally strong in the belief that parents are entitled to the. respect of their children. While, severity on the part of par- ents is to be deplored, over-indul- gence is not to be commended. MISS IACPBAIL INQUISITIVB A press dispatch says that a num- ber of questions dealing with foreign trade matters have been placed on the order paper of the Commons by Miss Agnes Macphail, member for South-East. Grey. Miss Macphail asks the Government to state how many consuls and commercial agents the United States has resident in Canada. how many Canada has resi- dent in the United States and whe- ther Canada intends to appoint suf- ticient agents in the United States to properly take care of her trade needs. Miss Manhail is also asking what steps the Government is taking to foster trade with the United Kingdom and how many officials with technical trade knowledge are attached to the Canadian High Com- missioner's‘otl'ice in London.

SOUTH GEORGIA SEA ELEPHANTS But now, while I am unwilling to wound or grieve brethren in our Church who do not see eye to eye with me regarding the necessity‘ for, Church union, and-while I would do everything possible to win them to my way of thinking, I have come to the solemn conviction .that the limit of delay has been reached and that there is nothing now for the Church to do but to march steadily forward, along lines of constitutional proced- ure. to consummate what I believe will be an event which will be fruit- ful in spiritual life. and vigor, and which will greatly advance the Kingdom of God in our country and the lands overseas.

'l‘he tea business. like nearly cv- erything else, has been having its hard times since the war. Unfavor- able tea growing weather. labor troubles on the plantations, and the unsettled political atmosphere gen- erally. have so seriously l‘t‘t’lllCt‘tl this year‘s crop that the world is now faced with a shortage of ever 80.000000 lhs., or more than two years‘ supply for the whole Domin- ion of Canada. The inevitable re- sult has been steadily increasing prices. until. to-day. tea is bringing higher prices than ever before in the history of the industry. In Canada the Salada 'l‘ea tlnnu‘iany. our largest tea concern, has heeii forced by this rendition to recently increase the price, of all their blends in order to maintain their standard of quality. A vin man driving his automobile along a little-used country 'i‘oad. heard something rattle beneath his car. stopped, looked back and saw a bright metal object lying in the road a short distance behind. It was a plow-point, evidently lost by some farmer.

The man who heats his horse “to make him go” is, at the same time, doing something ,to himself of which he-is entirely unaware“; says Helen Beszermeny in Our Dumb Animals. The man who so misireats his horse has lowered himself beneath that of the animal he has misused. The boy who kicks a dag “to hear him howl” is making a big mistake. At an early age he is allowing him- self to be worse than any of the dumb, helpless creatures tlflt he takes such pleasure in harming. This is the sort of boyâ€"if not prOperly instructed in earlier yearsâ€"who grows to be the man who beats his horse; aye, worsehhe is the boy who grows to be the. man who heats his wife and children. “Why do they do it?” So'easy to ask! Shall we not say. “How can we stop it?” There is a way, and it is not as difl‘icult as one might think : Wthen boys are very small the moth- ers and fathers should try to instill in them a genuine love for animals, because no one wishes to harm a thing he really loves. When a small boy who has not been taughtâ€"one can usually tell by his treatment of animalsâ€"is seen abusing: an animal. we. should tell him then. while he is hurting it, how to treat a «log. a cat, a hflrse; tell him then. while he remembers his deed. that a dug will not love him if he kit'kS it, pulls its ears. or mis- treats it. in any way. 'I‘hen pnint out someone, if passible, who loves that. same «legâ€"if it he a tt._)gâ€"â€"llv has just‘heen hurting. and mark the love of that animal tn its henefaetm'. The average hey. deep down in his heart. likes animals. He will see the ditl‘en-neo in treatment, and the dif- ference in the dog’s response tn kindness and cruelty; if the boy has any good. common sense. he will clnulltless begin to think, and the re- sult will he a change in his treat- ment Hf animals. Ivl us liolp nwry boy’s natural liking. r uf animals grow into love, and a grvat «leal of cruelty will be. killed at its birth. Suddenly the air trembled with a terrific explosion! I jumped.
