The trade between Australia and Great Britain, particularly in dairy produce, is rapidly increasing, and it is attributed to admirable and extensive cold storage pro- vided on the steamers which convey the tratlic. Ofcourse, in view of the shorter distance between Canadaand Great Bri- tan, the necessity for such accommodation on steamers from that colony may not be so great, but in ‘business circles it is gen- erally believed that Canadian exports of more or less. perishable articles will never reach the dimensions the capabili- ties of the Dominiou warrant unless the q ‘estion of cold-storage is grappled with by the steamship companies. Only a few days ago 720 tons of butter, or 1,512,800 pounds, valued at $70,000, were shipped by one steamer from Melbourne, and It is expected that during the present season the shipments of butter from Victoria will bring about £1 ,900,000 sterling into the pockets of the farmers.

THE TROUBLE AT VERNON RLVER.

Sir,—In Tae Weexty Examiner of thé 18th inst. there appears three conimuini- cations relating to a disease of some kind which has broken out at Vernon River Bridge. One is over the signature of Geo. Forbes, Chairman of the Board of Health. the other two are anonymous corres pondents who ask a number of pertinent

seem Now, as one who is disposed to give our Board of Health every justice in this mat- ter, I must confess that Mr. Forbes’ reply to “ Inquirer” is not such as the the pub-

lic have a right to expect under existing Circumstances, If one were

addressing a body of gentlemen

acting in a private capacity he would not feel surprised at Mr Forbes oyster shel) refusal to impart any information to the public. When the lives of a number of persons are involved, it affords poor con- solation to thuse interested to be told in answer to their enquiries a3 to what their friends died of and how they .were treated that they must call at the private office of some non-medical man and take just what he gives chem cooked up in his own way for reasons best known to him- self one of which may be to shield the bungling and incapacity of some dull con- ceited hashes who at some period of their existence confused their brains in ¢c'lege classes and went in “stirks and came out asses.”

To briefly and tactfully point out the path of danger to one who is walking therein wilfully, and to cause him to change his ways, is a power not accorded to all. Professor Henry Drummond was once asked to remonstrate with a drinking coachman, and to get him to reform. He succeeded in the following simple and logi- eal way ;

“Suppose your horses ran away and you lost control of them, and they turned down a steep hill, what should you do?”

“-T-eould do nothing.”

* But suppose a better coachman and a stronger.man,sat besile you, one who had driven every inch of that hill, what would you do then? ” :

“ Pdgive him the reins in a minute.”

“My good man, drink has bolted with you down a hill, and only by your passing the reins of your life to God and Jesus Christ, the great Guide of Life, can you bé saved,”

It ought to be a matter for serious thought to Christian men that politics seem to gravitate most naturally toward the saloon. Cayeus rooms and polling places are never far distent from the bar, where it is possible for the workers to “have something;” yea, sometimes they even nestle under the wings of the ‘devil himself and are actually in saloons; the chairman sitting on a big beer barre], and the less important persons grouped about on little beer barrels and kegs. Not atall rare is it to hear of caucuses being heli in the very rooms where drinks are dispensed, so that the mau whe makes the nominat- ing speech cen “wet his whistle” before he blows it, and then rinse it out after using: But who beneath heaven ever heaad of a caucus being held in a church? or a mis- sion hall? ora Y.M.C. A. room? And yet sureiy these places would be more fitting for such gatherings.

If, then, political life is centering more and more about the saloon, it is time that the Christian citizen thought of his re sponsibility. He should investigate, then consider, then resolve. He should. deter- mine to put himself definitely, plainly and strongly on the side of right.
