It is twelve hundred miles as the

crow dies from Cape Town northward tc Buluwayo, in Metabele I.and. It is fifteen hundred miles by the railway which was completed last year. We may get an idea. of the distance by re- calling that this is double the distance from Charlottetown to Montreal by mail and steamer. And yet this is but a quarter of the distance “from the Cape to Cairo,” which Mr. Cecil Rhodes hopes to yet have spanned by bands of steel.

Northward from Buluwayo to Lake

Tangauyaka is a further distance of twelve hundred miles, still through British territory, It is now reported that Mr. Rhodes has succeeded in se- curing the $10,000,000 required for the construction of this second long linkin the chain. The lake is ap- proximately 500 miles long and easily navigable. This brings us to within 1400 miles ofthe equator and from that line northward the river Nile adords a way of communication through to Cairo. It is, however, in its upper

A BAD LEAK.

If, as Prof. Robertson says, Scot-

land sent over to Canada some years ago to obtain the services of instruc- tors in cheese-making, we might as- sume that they ought not in make better cheese than we make in this country. But we find that the best Scotch and English cheese sells in the British market for one-half more than the Canadian cheese E This difference in price, Prof. Robertson tells us, is

overcome by maintaining an even and lower temperature in the curing or , storing rooms of our factories.

When Prof. Robertson was telling

us these things he was really “talking in millions " for the cheese-makers of Canada. Let them grasp the great , idea. that large as is the aggregate sum represented by the annual output, of the Canadian factories, it might be increased one-half-that is from seven- teen millions of dollars yearly to twenty-five and a half millions of dol- lars- by simply so taking care of this matter of temperature, and they will 1 see the vast importance ofthe lesson. Proud as we have been, and justly proud, of the extent and rapid growth of our cheese industry, we are thus suddenly brought face toface with the fact that there is, and has been,'a stu- pendous leak in our factory system by

.ward of our labors has been and is be- ing lost to us. We cannot afford to go on losing these millions. We must stop that leak, and stop it at once ! ~

\ _ Some of the political prophets have ‘set afloat the prediction that after haviiig secured the support of 'as many of the local legislatures as he can, Sir Wilfrid will pass a resolution through ‘the Commons in favor of Senate re-

stretches only navigable in a limited i sense, but its valley will furnish the’

route for the railway of the future' where its channel is insudicient for _the wants of commerce.

Mr. Rhodes is not a mere dreamer. He has large ideas, but he works hard g for the accomplishment of his hopes and ? he always succeeds in arousing interestl in others for what he has to propose.; Many men of influence and wealth| now share in the desire to see the greatl artery of commerce opened from one' end of the Dark Continent to thel other. Britain controls or owns thej route from the Mediterranean south-Q ward to the equator. At the otherl end she owns the soil on which the’ -.great railway is pushing northward; from the Cape of Good Hope to- Lake Tanganyaka. But for 400 miles south of the equator there are foreign possessions barring her way.

German East Africa and the Congo: Free State here extend entirely ac-.'

ross the continent from east to west.

Britain recently obtained permission, from the Congo authorities to erect a-

telegiaph line which is now being constructed, along the route where

Rhodes wants the railway built and, it may be that a like concession can

be obtained for the railway itself. Un- fortunately the affairs of the Congo are now in a very uncertain condition. There must before long be new ar- rangements made in regard to the government of the Free State and it may be that in the settlement Britain will obtain the required concession.

In any case the great railway

scheme to connect Cairo and the Cape has now reached that stage in the public mind where it is looked upon as something that must be achieved and we know from the history of our own

l does away with the necessit for the em~

SAVE THE BABY!

A mother will risk he!

own life many times over, to save her babe from the horrors of hy- drophobia. There are graver perils from which a mother should rotect her child. A madp dog is a rarity, but thousands of children die daily be~ cause of the seeds of disease implanted in

their little bodies be- fore birth.

A woman may in- sure the health of her babe if she sees to it that she is thoroughly strong and healthy in a wo- mauly way dur- ing the period of gestation. D r .

Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all weakness and disease of the delicate and important organs that sustain the burden of maternity. It makes them strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It baiiishes the squeainish spells of the expectant period and makes baby’s introduction to the world easy and nearly painless. It rids maternity of peril. It insures the newcoiner’s health and an ample supply of nourishment. It transforms sickly, nervous, fretful, despond- ent, childless women into healthy, happy, helpful, amiable wives and mothers. Over 90,000 women have testified to the benefits derived from this marvelous medicine. It

As the worst thing possible is to halt between two opinions. we must accordingly, even if we dislike empire, make -the best of our position.
