Sobotka of Vienna, Ausâ€" tria, who is a friend of "Lone E", reâ€" cently paid a visit to Toronto and expressed his great interest in the Canadian Boy Scouts, and in particular the "Lonies." Mr. Sobotka travels extensively all over Europe, and frequently visits this side of the Atlantic, and he stated that the people in practically all of the countries that he visits have great faith in the Boy Scout Movement, beâ€" lieving it to be one of the most instruâ€" mental factors which will lead to a better world understanding and a perâ€" mament peace in the days to come. Mr. Sobotka sent his very bes: wishes to all Canadian Scouts, this being his first trip to Canada, and expressed the hope that a goodly numâ€" ber of Canadian representatives would visit the Jamboree in Hungary next year.

Bird Houses For Spring. ’ "Lone E" hopes that the Lone Scouts have been busy during tho% past months in the making of more bird houses for the convenience of their feathered friends. You know the} birds are very loyal, and if you can induce them to build in your vicinlty| they will come back year after year to the same nesting place. ‘ Unfortunately, with the expansion of civilization, the natural haunts and surroundings of the birds have been destroyed, and they fizd it increasing dificul* to find nesting places near to the vicinity of humans. Every Lonie, therefore, should make a special point of building three or four Bird Houses to encourage the birds to stay in the vicinity of his home. You still have time for this vear‘s tenants if you get busy at once.

Under the existing: system Canada had experienced conâ€" siderable success in keeping down the evil, but it had been realized here, in common with the rest of the world, that no efficient control could be mainâ€" tained so long as legislation covered only the distributionâ€"and so long as the manufacturing countries remained outside of the convention. it pout / u4004 o 04 To w ol t d ccau ds t oi ts The new convention provides that manufacture must be restricted to actual estimated requirements for meâ€" dicinal and scientific purposes.

Unearthed at Kish the snow‘s white New York A system of tariffs is not an undilâ€" uted blessing. To a country in Britâ€" min‘s position it offers certain general advantages; but various sections of the community must suffer accordingâ€" 1y as the general welfare is increased. Any tariff proposals, said Mr. Walter Runciman in the House of Commons, \m bound to have disadvantages as well as advantages.â€"Dublin Weekly Irish Times. Canadaâ€"New Zealand Treaty. | The chance of early ratification does not dispose of the contention previously raised that something can be done without waiting even until the session begins. The chief measâ€" ure of retaliation when the quarrel with Canada developed was the placâ€" ing of Canadian goods on the foreign tariff schedule. It was done wimout\ consulting Parliament, and was never ratified by the Legislature. British preferential rates can be restored to Canadian goods, as they were taken from them, by Orderâ€"ivâ€"Council. _ It would be a gesture of goodwill and a stimulous to trade.â€"Auckland Weekly Australia‘s Prohibitive Tariif. Australian manufacturers, and more particularly their employees, ought to realize that they are having a chance better in some respects than they are likely to get again for very many years if this one is thrown away. It is not the price of new Australian manufacâ€" tures so much as their quality of |whlch primary producers complain. |We are losing jobs today because some of the work we have turned out has ! been disgracefully uneven, and our \cnslomers have been driven to go to | the foreignerâ€"and, incidentally, curse lthe high tariff which has protected ‘the bad workmanship and made the ,‘price of the good a burden.â€"Sydney .\ Bulletin. stimulous News.

As you leave Quebec, with its murai« crowned and castled rock, and drop down the stately river, presently the snowy fall of Montmorenci, far back in its purple hollow, leaps perpetual avalanche into the abyss, and then you are abreast of the beautiful Isle of Orleans, whose low shores, with their lexpnues of farmland, and their groves lot pine and oak, are still as lovely & yorilh e ks Ee oi ENCE s Cns CS as when the wild grape festooned the primitive forests. . . . For two hours farther down the river either shore is bright and populous with the continuâ€" ous villages of the habitants, each clustering â€" abouts . its slimâ€"svired church, in its shallow vale by the water‘s edge, or lifted in more emiâ€" nent picturesqueness upon some gentle height.

But no starry palm glasses its crest in the clear cold green from these low brinks; the pale binch, slender and delicately fair, mirrors here the wintry whiteness of its boughs. Gradually, as the day wore on, the hills which had shrunk almost out of sight on one hand, and on the other were dark purple in the distence, drew near the shore, and at one point on the northern side rose almost from the water‘s edge. The river expanded into a lake before them, and in their lap some 7 cottages, and halfâ€"way up the hillside, among the stunted pines, a muchâ€"galleried hotel proclaimed a resort of fashion in the heart of ot what seemed otherwise a wilderness. Indian huts sheathed in birchâ€"bark nestled at the foot of the rocks, which were rich in orange and scarlet staing ; out of the tops of the huts curied the blue smoke, and at the door of one stood a squaw in a flameâ€"red pettiâ€" coat; others in bright shawls squatâ€" ted about on the rocks, each with a circle of dogs and papooses.â€"From "A Chance Acquaintance," by w,.
