num camo 'ro 'ri-In care.
It is twelve hundred miles as the
crow dies from Cape Town northward
tc Buluwayo, in Metabele I.and. It is
fifteen hundred miles by the railway
which was completed last year. We
may get an idea. of the distance by re-
calling that this is double the distance
from Charlottetown to Montreal by
mail and steamer. And yet this is
but a quarter of the distance “from
the Cape to Cairo,” which Mr. Cecil
Rhodes hopes to yet have spanned by
bands of steel.
Northward from Buluwayo to Lake
Tangauyaka is a further distance of
twelve hundred miles, still through
British territory, It is now reported
that Mr. Rhodes has succeeded in se-
curing the $10,000,000 required for
the construction of this second long
linkin the chain. The lake is ap-
proximately 500 miles long and easily
navigable. This brings us to within
1400 miles ofthe equator and from that
line northward the river Nile adords
a way of communication through to
Cairo. It is, however, in its upper
not very far in the future.
_largely caused bythe dilierence in
lcliniate, but that this can easilybe
' which one third of the legitimate re-
i form or abolition. and on its being

A BAD LEAK.
If, as Prof. Robertson says, Scot-
land sent over to Canada some years
ago to obtain the services of instruc-
tors in cheese-making, we might as-
sume that they ought not in make
better cheese than we make in this
country. But we find that the best
Scotch and English cheese sells in the
British market for one-half more than
the Canadian cheese E This difference
in price, Prof. Robertson tells us, is
overcome by maintaining an even and
lower temperature in the curing or
, storing rooms of our factories.
When Prof. Robertson was telling
us these things he was really “talking
in millions " for the cheese-makers of
Canada. Let them grasp the great
, idea. that large as is the aggregate
sum represented by the annual output,
of the Canadian factories, it might be
increased one-half-that is from seven-
teen millions of dollars yearly to
twenty-five and a half millions of dol-
lars- by simply so taking care of this
matter of temperature, and they will
1 see the vast importance ofthe lesson.
Proud as we have been, and justly
proud, of the extent and rapid growth
of our cheese industry, we are thus
suddenly brought face toface with the
fact that there is, and has been,'a stu-
pendous leak in our factory system by
.ward of our labors has been and is be-
ing lost to us. We cannot afford to
go on losing these millions. We
must stop that leak, and stop it at
once ! ~

\ _ Some of the political prophets have
‘set afloat the prediction that after
haviiig secured the support of 'as many
of the local legislatures as he can, Sir
Wilfrid will pass a resolution through
‘the Commons in favor of Senate re-
stretches only navigable in a limited i
sense, but its valley will furnish the’
route for the railway of the future'
where its channel is insudicient for
_the wants of commerce.
Mr. Rhodes is not a mere dreamer.
He has large ideas, but he works hard g
for the accomplishment of his hopes and ?
he always succeeds in arousing interestl
in others for what he has to propose.;
Many men of influence and wealth|
now share in the desire to see the greatl
artery of commerce opened from one'
end of the Dark Continent to thel
other. Britain controls or owns thej
route from the Mediterranean south-Q
ward to the equator. At the otherl
end she owns the soil on which the’
-.great railway is pushing northward;
from the Cape of Good Hope to-
Lake Tanganyaka. But for 400
miles south of the equator there are
foreign possessions barring her way.
German East Africa and the Congo:
Free State here extend entirely ac-.'
ross the continent from east to west.
Britain recently obtained permission,
from the Congo authorities to erect a-
telegiaph line which is now being
constructed, along the route where
Rhodes wants the railway built and,
it may be that a like concession can
be obtained for the railway itself. Un-
fortunately the affairs of the Congo
are now in a very uncertain condition.
There must before long be new ar-
rangements made in regard to the
government of the Free State and it
may be that in the settlement Britain
will obtain the required concession.
In any case the great railway
scheme to connect Cairo and the Cape
has now reached that stage in the
public mind where it is looked upon as
something that must be achieved and
we know from the history of our own
l does away with the necessit for the em~
I s bstitutcs certaint for the doubtful
rejected ba the Senate will dissolve
parliament. This is, in part at least,
a most improbable programme.

SAVE THE BABY!
A mother will risk he!
own life many times
over, to save her babe
from the horrors of hy-
drophobia. There are
graver perils from which
a mother should rotect
her child. A madp dog is
a rarity, but thousands
of children die daily be~
cause of the seeds of
disease implanted in
their little bodies be-
fore birth.
A woman may in-
sure the health of
her babe if she
sees to it that she
is thoroughly
strong and
healthy in a wo-
mauly way dur-
ing the period of
gestation. D r .
Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures all
weakness and disease of the delicate and
important organs that sustain the burden of
maternity. It makes them strong, healthy,
vigorous and elastic. It baiiishes the
squeainish spells of the expectant period
and makes baby’s introduction to the world
easy and nearly painless. It rids maternity
of peril. It insures the newcoiner’s health
and an ample supply of nourishment. It
transforms sickly, nervous, fretful, despond-
ent, childless women into healthy, happy,
helpful, amiable wives and mothers. Over
90,000 women have testified to the benefits
derived from this marvelous medicine. It

treatment of obscure physicians, who sel-
dom correctly diagnose these troubles. All
medicine dealers sell it, and Dr. Pierce will

But the choice has not been quite free,
and especially it is not 'open to us to
give up any part of the Empire at _-will
_ without making so an alteration of our.
position in the world that our freedom
and independence at home would be
endangered. As the worst thing possible
is to halt between two opinions. we
must accordingly, even if we dislike
empire, make -the best of our position.
We are in for this great Empire.. and
there is an end of the matter. Qu all
