SOME POINTERS.-Those who are
puzzled as to how they can keep their
sidewalks clean both before and' af-
ter stonms might get some pointers
form Mr. E. H. Haviland'-s man. Mr.
William Mcl-ienzic. whose sidewalks
are invariably. kept perfectly free
from ice and snow, and in fact have
been for years. A number of stretches
un some of the principal streets were
sadly neglected after tire last storm
and will be a source of danger and
inconvenience during and after the
nexg, thaw. The police should look af-
tcr these. ,

was: _egolved that country life is
better than city life. _On account of
the monthly testi! Obeupying the first
of the 'wee-it 'the' appointed .speakers
had no 'speeches ready. For a time
it looked as if the debate would have
to be postponed. but on account of,and
in compliance wltnthe Moderators
expresesd wishes, several speakers
were induced to give their opinions
on each side. Conapicuous' among
those were S. Mahoney for the city.
and P. Nelligan for the country. Mr
Mahoney broughtout many good points
sush an the advantage in education.
AM Neiilgan opposed this by saying,
that it was easy to get a good founda-
tion in our rural schools. anti that a
,finishing education qould be had in
St. Dunstan's. which was a country
collese in so far' as it was outside the
city limits. Again Mr. Mahoney said
that there wdre greater opportunities
to become rich in the city. To this Mr,
few years on Prince Edward island
the men who became rich in this
world's goods. were -born and reared
on a farm. and that it was while they
-were residents of the country that
they had become possessed of those
goods. After a few more remarks by
different members of the society, a
standing vote was taken. and upon
being counted' by the Secretary it was
found to stand twenty-tlve to fourteen
ln favor of the country. Upon motion
the debate adjourned..

large pa-rt of this- has already- been
knit by the ladies of the two districts
by Morris, Smith and Beer. who have
kindlly given the use of their window
to display these donations. lt is to be
hoped that the appeal will mee; with
a generous response. Contributors
should lose' no time in sending in
their tobacco as the boys may receive:
marching orders any day now. ‘
TO BUIILD NEW CHURCH.-Flatts

beautiful buildings in the city.--Syd-
ney Post. The fir-m referred to is.
Messrs. C, B. Chappell & Hunter, of

A GOOD EXAMPLE.-Last wook

gor canvassed every house in tho dis-
trlct in aid of the Prisoners of War
Fund. They succeeded in getting
subscriptions amounting to over
$10.00 por month. so are able to
adopt two prisoners. This is a splen-
did cxnmple for others. and it is hoped
that it will bo followed by ladies in
other sections of the province. The
prisoners need all the assistance they
can get. Ilcsidcs those two new ad-
options. thc Secretary reports that the
Bedford ltcd'Cross. the Sterling Wo-
men’s institute, and the llarnrony ln-
atltute have adopted prisoners this

liALlFAI\'. Feb. 22- Examination
of the baggage of the German party
on board the Scandinavlarr American'
steamer Frederi-ck Vli-I. has revealed'
that each and every member of it has
ylentifuily stocked himself or herself
with goods which are scarce in the
Fatherland to which they are sailing
The most favored lines ot' goods
however, is cotton and it was report-
ed today that one secretary oi' the
German Embassy in Was-hingtou
alone has' several hundred suits of
pyjamas. in view oi' the close associa-
tion betwcen cotton and explosives, it
is thought that the' customs oilicials
here \vi1i relieve thc Germans ot' some
of their excess cotton goods and make
an allowance for thorn. Tire Germans
too, are all well supplied with money,
most of it gold. This' is- nflso contra
band and it, is understood hcrc that
lt will be axcharrged for them into
some fonm of currency less useful to
the Fatherland. The rigidity with
which the operations upon the ifrcti-
erick Vlll. have been conducted have
not been relaxed' as time has passed.
'In addition to keeping close watch
upon the' passengers and crew of the
vessel the guards placed over them
are themselves under surveillance of
secret service men. One guard found
