CLIMATE AND PURE BREEDS.

of the Guardian that silver fox breeders must return periodically to Prince Edward island for the stock bred on its native heath if quality is to be maintained. Here we have the temperature suited to tho thickness of wool and length of over hairs necessary to fox pelt valuable;

How far this association of place and quality in the breed goes we can- not tell. but it goes very deep. Only in North Britain is the es- ' sence of the Aberdeen-Angus stock permanently retained." Similarly only in Prince Edward island is the essence of the silver fox stock permanently retained.

mom-i? OLD AGE PENSION-S BILL

HETHER the long heralded Old

Age Pensions Bill, which has been passed in the House of Com Inons will survive the ‘Red Cham- ber remains to be seen. Should itI go through) it will create an anom alous position. Some of the pro vinces have already expressed their intention to have nothing to do with it, others will probably ac- cept it. In that case the non-par- ticipating province will help to pay the federal fifty per cent. for which they themselves receive no return. The unfairness of such a scheme is very evident.

The lotus-eating period, after ar riving at ‘the three score years and ten mile-stone,. p.omised,by Mr Mackenzie King and his lieutenants before the general election, looked well at that time to those who saw in it a retiring allowance for worthy old age—and they were all worthy then—-looks very different now to the older provinces. The Marltimes whose respective populations com- prise a disproportionate number of aged men and women, simply can- not afford to pay theilfty per cent. share of the pension. but. if the bill goes-through the Senate, they will be obliged to pay almost in full the pensions of the younger provinces. The ‘bill was intended not to benefit anyone but to hoodwink nd de-

ceive the electors. lta fallacies and ‘

‘its impossibilities were pointed out at a previous session of parliament, but it was a net scheme of Mr. Mackenzie King and he has got it

From Los Angoiea comes a song. or poem sounding the fame oi George Young, the icnnntl-latt swimmer, but also reflecting on the Canadian climate. it includes these llnes:—

Sixty , Years Ago

About this time sixty years ago Coafederationfof the ‘British North American Colonies was the tollill of conversation. la a despatch from Downing iStreet, - dated 19th January, 1807, to Lieutenant Governor Dundaa of this Island- Earl Carnarvon the British Secre- tary of State for the 'Colonles remarked that ‘Her M91891?“ Government “are not unaware of the difficulties which must attend any attempt to consolidate in one body politic a variety of Provinces whose habits. laws and interests must be in many respects diflerolll and in some, perhaps, not wholly compatible." This despatch was evidently a last effort to induce the Government and , f‘ 0i’, Prince ‘Edward Island to enter the Union upon the terms decided n! the Quebec Conference. Lord Car-j narvon pointed out that by far the. most important part o.’ the dif-ii-l culties to which he had referred had been removed “by the wise allil loyal foresight of the public men of Lower iCanada who. in their; treatment of this subject have shown themselves able to reconcile, a__manly support of their hereditary- customs and institutions with it‘ general confidence in the justice‘ and friendly ‘feeling of their more‘ numerous fellow subjects of ‘Briitsli; orig-in." Evidently ‘His Lordshill‘ thought that _the people and Government of Prince Edward ls-g land should do likewise, and go into the Confederation on the, forthcoming first of July. '
