THE C. M. B. A.

Important Amendments to the Con- stitution.

Quesec, Aug. 25.—The convention at yesterday moruing’s session made two im- portant changes in the constitution and bye-lawe. One provides for the admission of honorary members, who shali pay a fee of 25 cents & month, aod shail enjoy the social privileges, but not the benefits, of the association. This rule is ma‘e in view of the fact that several men of great promivence, who wish to join the order are too old to do so as reguiar membere. It was alec decided that in the future that the branch which has a member on the grand council shall not have another delegate. This willmean an annual saving of a $1,000.

Yesterday afternoon, Mayor Parent read an address of welcome to the C. M. B. A., which was replied to by President Hack- ett. Laet night the election of officers took place, and resulted as follows: Hon M F Hacket!, re-elected grand president ; Dr L Belliveau, re-elected lst vice president; J E Loughlin, 2nd vice president; S R Brown, re-elected by acclamation grand secretary; W J McKee, elected grand treasurer; J J Weintert, re-elected grand guard; J Galvin, marshal. Niagara Falls was selected as the next place of meeting in 1961.

NEWS NOTES.

The McCar‘yites of North Simcoe will hold a convention at Stayner, on Aug 30th, to nominate a candidate for the Commons in successicn to the late Dalton McCar- thy.

It is proposed to raise five million dol. larsamong the schoolbovs of the United States for the purposs of presenting the Government with a battleship. Ove good thing likely tocome of the effort is the teaching of those concerned whata buge sum five million dollars is. Itis only here and there that there is a person who comprehends it.

Admiral Sampson is quoted as express- ing the opinion that after this less than formerly will be beard of the torpedo in nuval warfare. Atthe beginning of the war there was some fear in the United States and some curiosity in other coun-

tries as to what Spain's torpedo boat flo illa—a very goo} one—-would do. As} things turned out it did nothing. Maay,

however, think this was not because of defi- ciency in the boats so much as in the crews, aud the German naval authorities s-¢ reported to still bold a high opinion of the va'ue in wartare of the danger-leden Probably it wili take another warto settle which set of opinions is

right.

Mr. P. Anderson Graham, ‘1 Long- man’s Magazine, mentions the regretta- ble fact that all but the commonesé wild flowers are disappearing from Ep- ping forest. Not only do the urchins pluck them, but the venders who go about the suburbs offering roots and flowers for sale carry them off whole- sale. The primrose has in this way been practically cleared out of the forest, se has the once common Solomon’s seal, and the foxgleve and others are very nearly extinct. If the anemones, blue- bells and violets still survive, it is only owing to the fact that they grow i# such astonishing numbers that the arna- fuls carried away make no difference.

The most obviously thriving and multiplying quadrupeds in the forest, Mr. Graham mentions, are the rabbit and’ the squirrel. Hares occasionally make their form in the heather or fern. The small carnivora are as plentiful aa might be expected where vermin are protected as much as game. Stoats and weasels are the most common. So far the rarer marten and polecat have not been tempted back to their old haunts. Foxes are occasionally to be seen. Mr. 3uxton introduced a few pairs of badgers 10 or 12 years ago, and they have bred and prospered. Rats, mice, moles and ‘‘such smalJ deer’’ havea happy time of it in the woods.

MORE LIGHT WANTED.

Sir,—After the lapse of nearly a year, the citizens of Montague are beginning to find that their street lamps are useless, a to their not being replenished wit

afford light enough to make travelling along the main street barely safe, Ye: the rough bye~ways and billie are so dark that it has been the experience of one of our citizens to lose himself on Tuesday evening and his rnbbers on Tiureday ! We hope that the people will see to it and have their lamps no longer serving @ useless purpose, Cirizen.

HOME RULE IN THE GLADSTONE FAMILY.

George W. Smalley, in Harper’s Mag:- zine for September writes: ‘he breeze blew fresh late one arternoon from the North German Ocean up the Firth as we paced this stove platform tugether, Mr. Gladstone talking, as his babit was, with Immense energy on the sutject which oc~ cupied hismind for the moment. ‘fhe early autumn shadows grew along, avd presently Mrs. Gladstone appeared wiih a wrap, which she put around her husband’e neck, and we walked on.

Atthe end of ancther half-hour she came out of the castle, reminding her hus- band that it was late. He answered that he was almost ready te go. and again we | walked on. Mrs. Gladstone waited, and ; soon said, “You know, William, you have to speak toniorrow, and it is very damp; | don’t youthink you ought to go r

in: “Yes,” he replied, “quite time”’—theo, with one of those expreesions of humor no. frequent on his tace or in his voice, eaid to me, softly: “We will take another turn to vindicate our independence;” and wedid. Then Mrs. Gladstone had her way, and we walked back to the house. ‘*Sabbath worship is usually conduct- ed at the public church, where visitors | from the world are free to attend,’’ writes Madeline S8. idges of the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, N. Y., in The Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘‘Four sis- ters and four brethren stand in the cen- ter of the room and form a double quar- tet. The Shaker dance, so miscalled, is in reality a more or less stately march, the brethren in a procession, two by two, followed by the sisterhood in like order. They move in step to the hymns they are singing, either slowly or quickly, as the measure of the time demands. The | ritual is of the simplest—testimony of | faith fervently uttered by those who | feel impelled to speak, a few earnest words of exhortation from the elders, the march and the singing of hymns. ‘‘Something curious in regard to these Shaker hymns is the fact that they are claimed to be largely inspirational—the music and words come together ‘as gifts,’ and frequently to those who are not musical. For instance, very often a | tap will sound on the door of a musical sister and an unmusical sister will en- ter with the announcement, ‘Sister, a song has justcome to me. Can you take
