‘HR MINISTER OF AGRICUL- TURE. When I was a Jad, I served a term, As “farmer ’s boy” on 8 jadge’s farm, 4 milked the cows, and coddled the ewine, And was always in bed by half past-nine t milked the cows so carefully, ; Pa purchased “Alva” farm for me. Asa farming man, [ lid very well, Had cows and plenty of milk to sell; “Water and milk”- being my make up, I spouted againet the red wine Cup; Jspouted and milked quite religiously, But kept my eye on a candidacy. }never smoked, I never drank; I never tried to “brake the bank; The Dunkin Act I never broke, I looked so “goody ” at a temperance spout, TJhat the “goody” people brought me out. I was goody then, | am goody yet; Tho’ forced tu work with a wicked set; But Wilfrid needs all kinds in the game Boa farmer’s minister [ became. Tsay goody things with so much zeal, Thai I cover many an awfu! deal. t don’t like “deale,’ and T don’t like Tarte, Bnd fear I’m losing my innocent heart; But I’m saving my pennies and living cheap, Sad I'll some day re‘urn to my “stable heap.” ; @o a “stable heap” we farmers sing, And ‘tis purer far ‘han the Cabinet ring. MORAL.

Bow, farmer boys, if you like me, Would climb into the Cabinet tree; Dost say goody things, let your light be seen, And some day you |! do for a Cabiret ecreen. ¥ you can’t be good, the bad’s the game, They use both kinds in a Cabinet frame. —Star

BISHOP POTTER

A Badly Misrspresented Man.

Biehop Potter bas written a letter in which he refers to the published statement eat he favored dramebeps as areal neces- sity, and eaye:

“[ sta.ed that sonethiag anewering to the saloon, i.e., places of inexpensive re- preation and refres|iment, would always be a necessity. I may add that until it is provided tLe mischicfs of the saloon, which »obedy recognizes more clearly than I, wil! sontinue. ‘ihe sa oon may be driven to cover, but it cannot be abolished. Some- thing better, something wholeso e, harm- iées undefiled; aod uodefiling must take ie place and so expel by substitution. Legislation has failed to do thie, and pro- bibition has failed. Denunciation has dailed. Itis a case for Christian capital, wisely employed, as the history of tne Liverpool coffee houses has shown.

NOTES FROM MORELL.

Pishing and Other News, Inter«sting Historical Reminiscences.

The smeit fishery here is a failure this pear.

Weare pleased to eee Mr. Cox outaguin aher bie recent 1//nese,

Rabbits or “ hares’ are being shipped to Bew York. We nave not heard whether this new enterpriee has proved eufficien!ly mmunerative to encourage enlarging the qwosiness.

The famous ‘*‘ Dandee” trapper and jenter saw a bear a few daysago.. To use ins own words, “ Che bear was standing on pie tail eatiog a rabbit out ofithe snare.” ‘The hunter was the most frightened and weok to hie heels for home. Such speed ima never been secn in the palmiest days of Sancy Hanks.

The concert ani social in aid of the hal! xn Monday evening was a grand success.

We have in this village vicinity three sores, three churches, schools, smithy, tailors, shoemake re, hotel, carriage builder, eheese factory, starch fa:tory, grist and saw wills, public hall aud some of the best farmers in the Country. and many who although improving: are not yet np-to- dete. Atthe Hortom we have one of the best fishing place» on the Island, two lobst- »y factories and fishing stages and fisher-

wen’s hute. It is a charming ecene on a flee summers morning abcut suurise to see the great Seet of boats leave the harbor for the

Sshery grounds cnrccring tothe breeze anc the epray figing from their bows, manned by our hardy native fisherboys whose superior physically you can’t find » this wide world. Pity tie their labors we not better rewarded. They seek the weeters, mackeral. cod, or herring and saimouin their season. A Sfisherman’s ife is bard although apparently a happy me, health giving certainly, but the best zey can dojading by the past is to eke wat an existence. Providing for a “rain mg day” not thought of if indeed ever possible by the most ekiltul or industri. whe.

This harbor has a history. 1 of Louisburg a French village was

@cated here at which a company of soldier wae stationed. The old well used by these s Zagers and soldiers is here stil! and our ishermen now use this same well. It is »e the bank clos« to the beach among the sepers huts. ear by is the site of the old Yrench chureb, the bell of which was yonghed up in a field here some years ago »y Mr. Barry at that time owner of the ‘arm koown as ‘‘Stukell Farm”.

This site 18 now oceupied by the beauti- ‘ni farm bouseapd buildings of John Sinnott %q., and is one of the prettiest of the many ‘ve farmers homes in this section. A!] - Ong the shores are old French cellars, wie “reminders’ of the once happy homes

WHERE THE VETO IS USEFUL.

Recentiy the Prince Edward Island Legielature passed a law enacting that liabilities to merchants outside the pro-~ vioce who of themselves or through their selling ageute have not prid a certain provincial license fee shal! be non-~col- lectable.

This is repudiation, with the proviso, however, thata contribution to the local treasury wil] stop it.

Now there ie a bill before the British Columbia House pronouncing null and void any labor contracts which new arriv~ alsin the province may have made with persons in otber parts of Canada.

This is another proposal of doubtful honesty.

The veto power is the subject of much criticism; but while it may be argued that it should not be exercised where Jegisja~ tion affects only the rights of persons within the enacting province, surely it ought tocome into Operation where the loca! law aseails the rights of Canadians elsewhere.—Mai!l and E:npire

operating room, 22x26, with ceiling 12 feet high, lighted by a large plate glass window 10 feet wide and 12 feet high, one- half of which is ia the hall and half in the roof. This will give a powerful and steady light for delicate operations. On the north side of this room is the recovery room and instrument room; on the south the surgeons lavatory anddressing room. This flat also contains 1@ bed rooms.

The basement will contain vegetable cellar, laundry and drying room and man’s bed room,alsothe boiler room.

The trustees will bave undercorsiders- tion and perhaps adopt if funds areto hand, plans for a modern steam aystem of heating and ventilation operated by fans, This eystem will not only heat but will change the air every few minutes through: out the building, forcing fresh warm air to all rooms and parts of the burlding,

It is expected that the structure will be completed a year hence.

The contraciors are Messrs McDonali and Schurman, and the Architect Mr. (, B. Chappeil, of this city. For the cats of the building, which are made from th architect’s drawings, we are indebted to the Canadian Architect and Builder, publi in Toronto, the designs appearing in the December number of that j-urnal,
