Coach oil for wioter use was ordered from the Eastern Company at 21} cents,and for summer nee from the Imperial at 19 cents. Both orcers were given to Mr Lichtenheimer at 45 cents per gallon.

THE ARMY WORM.

Rey. Father Burke has an article in the | Agriculturiet on thie pest in reply to en- quiries received from Enmore River peo | ple. He gives the life hietory of the army worm a8 follows :—

| “Egge are laid in autumn and take a couple of weeks ‘to hatch. The young | worms after feeding for a time become | torpid and pace the winter in grase tufte. In spring they com | plete their growth, feeding on the tender 'grass and gaia shoots, Then they bur- | row into the ground aud turo into light | brown chrysalids from which in two /weeks, a satiny brows moth an ‘inch in length emerges. Those lay eggs ‘fora second brood and this isthe most ‘abundant and dangerous form of the pest, ‘destroying as it does every green blade | before it and also destroying the forest trees, When in great numbers and pase-

} ae . Ware, | Liberals the lowest tenderers were notified | ing from devastated sreas (o pastures pew

they go inthe form of an army on the march and neither turn to the right ocr ‘left until they, havereached the desired epot. On account of this habit people dig | trenches and encompaes them effectually. ‘If not on themarch they must be destroyed by using Paris Grezn freely on a belt

| about them. Inthe forest they are diffi-

' cult to bandle as spraying cannot always be done easily.

| Rev. Father Burke is inclined to the belief that the Enmore River worm, samples ot which were brought to him by Mr. Campbell, of that place, are true army worme but of tke black kind whieh devas- (tates trees euch ae poplars, rowans, sumackes, alders and al) bitter leaved trees especially. It is certainly nothing like the tent caterpillare. As samples have been eentto Prof. Fleteher by the rev. gentleman the truth wil! soon bé known. Inthe meantime all the worms ehould be scrupulously destroyed, or each one willturn into a moth to lay million® of eggs out of which a horde of worms wiil be hatched to eat up the vegetation of the whole country.

THE TAXATION RECORD.

A few years ago,the leading Liberals cried Out against the “crusaoing taxation of the Tories,” then about $5 per head and promised “‘agreat reduction.” In 1895 the people of Canada were taxed to the extent of $25,446,198. Here is the record since then:

1896 — taxeB...ccccce.. sso $20;009;280 Sere OU. gc wccos cue? 28 648,626 1898 —taxes........0...... 29,006 455 1899 —taxee. .....ccosccocs 34,900,069 1900 —taxes....... ie cbecetets DE ae, Gee

It will be seen that the amount taken from the people as taxes by the Dominios Government has iucreased by fifty per cent in five years. The Liberal’s taxation is greater than that of the Tories to the extent of $2.18 for every man, woman and child intheconntry. A famiiv of five now pay taxes at the rate of $10.9) per year more than they did when the Couser- vatiyes were in office. Still there is no hint of av abatement of taxation. The money is taken and is used and the pub- lic debt goes on increasing. If the hiber- als had performed their promises to re- duce expeudituree, the public debt would oow be reduced by millions, or we should have had millions of dollars worth of public worke which will have to be paid for in the future.

-—Mr, Fielding has brought down stil] another supplementary estimate for the current year. It arks for $300,690 on capital account for Port Colborne Harbor; $19,153 for Hull pubiic buildings : $19,- 625 for slides and boome.

—Comment is being made on the ttate- ment that not a cheer greeted Mr. Sifton as he rose after his returo from Paris to cast his first vote in Parliament, and the Montreal Gezette remarks that: Really the members are to be congratulated on their good taste. The public swallowing of a dose of Deviin and Borden’s vitalin is nOt an Occasion for jublication.”

— Advices from Pretoria etate that the recent succes/es of the British at Bethle- hem has considerably improved the pros- pects fer peace. The whole of the gov- ersment of President Steyn, of the Orange Free Siate, hus surrendered except Presi- dent Steyn hioself. The Free State officials, who are British prisoners, have been allowed to communicate with Presi- dent Sieyn for the purpose Ot attempting to prove to him the uselessness of a cun~ tinuance of the struggle,:which can only produce bloodshed without ary counter- balancing advantages.

—The Guardian points out that the three later by-elections have gone Liberal. One of these was that of Hon. Mr. Bernier recently appointed Minister of Inland Rev- enue. The two others were those of Renfew, Ontario and West River in P. E. Isiand,—in which the circumstances aud influence, Dominicn and Provincial, were very much alike. A religious organ like the Guardian might have reminded its readers that “wicked doers shall be rooted out,”—even though they may flourish for & time.

REV. FATHER FRANCIS BURIED.

A Large Concourse of People Wit- ness the Imposing Ceremony

Not since the funeral of Rev. Father McMillaa, of St. Teresa’s when the entire body of clergy were in retreat here and attended, has 80 many of the priests of the diocese aesisied at the funeral of a coofrere as was the case at St. George’s yesterday ; and the representative people of the laity of King’s County joined themeelves to his parighioners in honoring the memory of the beloved Father Francie. Long before the hour for the services the church was packed with people. Masses had been said by the visiting clergy trom dav break, and after the Matins and Lauds for the ceai sang in choir Bishop McDonald commenced the Pontifical Requieum Mass. He was assisted by Rev. Father Wm. Phelan as Arch-Priesit and Rev. Fathers Waiker and McIntyre, as §6. Descore, = Revs A McAulay ‘and Mr McLellan, ecclesastic, were Masters ot Ceremonies. Tne Very Rev James Phalen and the Revs D F McDonald, James A McDonald, J T Phaien, Dr Chaisson. AE Burke, Peter Curran, Dr Morrison, D J Gilhs, P C Gauthier, R A McDonald and some others bad seats in the sanctuary. The coffin, amides ti.z ng tapers was placed just out. ride tte altar rail covered by a_ thick black pall. The church was heavily draped in black relieved by white crosses and emb-:ems. The eulogy was pronounc- ed by Rew Fatver Burke, aod was in ‘very way worthy of the »olemn occasion. The elcquent preacher chose for his text: “And I heard a voic? from Heaven saying tome: Write, Blessed are the dead whodie inthe Lord. From heace forth now saith the Spirit thet they may rest from their lsbors: for their worke follow them.”—Revelations xiv: 13.

And if be bad even stopped after an- nouncing it im grave and solemn tones a) - ready a fitting enlogy would have been made. Particularly interesting, however, were the facts given by the preacher. He raid Father Francis was born on the I1th day of August, 1815, en- tered St. Andrew’s College at 16 years of age; after four yeare atudy, enter- ed St. Hyacinth’e Seminary for phil- osephy and after that had a three years course of theology at Quebec. Be was ordained in the latter city on June 28 bth, 1840, and consequently Lad overrun his sixtieth year of priesthood. He said he had exercised the ministry in Kirg’s County ever since, every sod of which was consecrated by his apostolic effort. He built half the churches of the county, at- tended for long years to the great majority of its people spiritually, and as a broad- minded and patriotie citizen had helped On very materially every§movement for the temporal] uplifting of the people of all creeds and clase es, He wae ap ideal priest and citizen and the tears of el] were gener- ously shed about his bier today in recog- nition of the place he held in al) hearte. After speaking of the splendid work done for the extension of the priesthood, Father Burke feeling)y asked the prayers of all for the fina! repose of a model priest gone before hie exemplar, the Great HighPriest, Jeseue Christ. After the Mass Hie Lord- ship prouounced the abeolutions ard the clergy and laity formed in procession and with thechanting of canticles and the prayers of the church he lowed the re~ maine of the vewerable Father Francis was laid beside those of the late Father R. P. McPhee, there to await the Resurrec- tion.
