On his return from England,‘ Sir Ed- mund Walker. president of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. expresses himself very hopefully on the money situation. and in an interview stated that there was no need of anxiety among reputable Cann- dinn business men engaged in ordinary business ventures of a sound nature. “There is nothing wrong with Canada." said Sir Edmund. "The whole trouble is with the world supply of money. The pro- duction of gold has. increased. but not sufficiently to keep up with. the world- wide prosperity of the last few yours. and the tightness in the money market is due mainly to this cause. though. of course the war in the Balkans has also helped by diverting money from commercial chau- ncls. The only reason why Canada has been singled out for criticism." went on Sir Edmund. “is that she is the most bro- mincut borrower, and therefore attracts most of the attention when capitalists be- rrin to discriminate in making their loans. Canadian credit is not in the least injur- ed. and Interest in Canadian investments has not flagged. but investors in England are obliged to discriminate more care- fully and to charge a higher rate." Wldow of Sir John A. Macdonald. Baroness Macdonnld of Earnsclifl’o is the only Canadian woman, almost the s only British woman who holds a. tltlc in her own right. The Baroness is the widow of Sir John A. Macdonald, and was creat- ed a pecress in 1891. on the death of her husband. in consideration of his public services. She was a Miss Bernard. daugh- ter of the late Hon. '1‘. 0. Bernard, of Ja- maica. Her marriage to the Canadian statesman took place in 1867, the year of confederation. Lady Mncdonald makes her home in England. but continues to take an interest in things Canadian, al- though she has reached the age of seven- ty-seven. A woman of intellectual power, Lady Maodonald in earlier years did a service to Canada by writing for the Eng- lish press of the resources of the countr)’. How many Canadians knew that the fam- ous statesman's wife was still living? Temperance and Insanlty. One of the speakers at the medi al con- gress now '11 session in London d scusscd the rema able growth of the temperance movement in Great Britain. He referred to the improved habits of army and navy officers, who are now expected to set a good example to the men under them, as well as to the enormous change among the commercial and professional classes. Other observers. including the chan- cellor of the cxchcquer. have been calling attention to the same gratifying phe- nomenn, and the average man, without so much as a glance at statistics. knows the statements regarding the spread of tem- perance to be true. It is undeniable, moreover. that the progress of temperance XS. not confined to England. It is world- wrdo. _ Now lntemperance is a potent cause of insanity, and there should be observable everywhere 9. decrease of insanity as one \of the results of the gradual elimination of the drink evil. th, according to speakers at the medical congress. insanity is growing. and growing at an alarming rate. In England it has increased 276 per cent. since 1860, although the population has increased only 87 per cent. Is the increase largely apparent rather than real, because of better registration and diagnosis, or is it actual? If actual, what are its causes? Conditions of life have improved, and so have conditions of la.- bor. Is it our modern pace that kills tho minds of so many? Light is wanted. The Peach-Grower's Lilo. When the city man gazes .upon the oarmine-tinted peaches in the fruit stores. his imagination conjures a life of pleas- ure and case in growing the luscious fruit. The reality is not. quite so prim- rosey. according to one who has tried it. “The peach-growcr’s life is a life of anx- iety. Ho watches the clouds. he marks the winds. he studies the thermometer, as another man might the tape from a stock- tickcr. He has ploughing to do and for- tilizing. He must cut back the young trees and prune the older ones. There are insidious diseases he must treatâ€"yellows. twig blight, leaf curl, black spot. Insects dispute the possession of the orchardâ€"â€" bark beetle, aphis, peach tree borer and an occasional stranger with an appetite for destruction quite as strong. The price of land in the peach growing district in- dicatcs that the orchards pay.» But there is one thing the peach grower will swear to by the deadliest oaths. 'I‘hi is that he earns his money. There are none who can readily dispute the fact." Canada WIll Exhibit. As .fhe Dominion Government. has de- cided to exhibit at the Panama Pacific Ex- position ln San Francisco next summer it will be hoped that a really fine illustra- tion of Canada's resources and products will be made. It is altogether a different, thing for Great Britain to take part in this exhibition. The United States and Canada run parallel for over 3,000 miles and yet there are vast differences in their resources and possibilities which can only be gauged by a close comparison. While it is unfortunately impossible to lllug. tratc Canada’s resourceful climate the products of that climate may be seen. This will be a. fine opportunity for the individual provinces to advertise their wares. A Governor's Downfall. Only a man without compassion could help being sorry for the Governor of New York State. w‘io has been impeached, and who may indeed be threatened with crim- inal proceedings for falsifying the docu. ment in which he was required to account for the money spent in his election cam. paign. In the course of that canipaign. while he was denouncing the corporations and pledging himself to the service of the people, he appears to have been speculat- ing privately in Wall Street with money that had been given hlm to be used in se. curing his own election and that of other candidates of his party. Governor Sulzer has been something of a dcmngogue. climbing to prominenco as a champion of the "plain people," and as the uncompromising enemy of privilege and graft. Since attaining office he has sincerely tried to carry out the promises he made in the course of his campaign, and the reason he earned the enmity of Tammany Hall was that he did try. I! he had continued to be a mere shoutcr for reform, and at the same time an enemy of progress. he would not now find hlm- selt at. the end of his political career. He has been pursued and ruined not. for his faults, but for his virtues. There ls reas- on to believe that. responsibility made a new man of Sulzcr, that his solemn oath of office drove him to break With his Tam- many partners. and eventually to defy them when they denired lum to make 1:!)- proper appointments. No one should ex- ult in his downfall, least. of all the people of the State of New York, who will have lost a man who wrecked a brilliant car- eer, though in office he tried to be true to the trust they ha‘d imposed in hlm. ..___.â€"K<â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".

The Parents and Friends Arrange) the Match. The Coreans marry very young.) generally between the ages ofi twelve and fifteen. For a woman t0) reach twenty without marrying is considered a terrible thing. A pe-i culiarity of these wedding-s it that they Would appear to be a matterl of personal interest to everyone ex-: cept the parties mostly concerned,’ who often see one another for the first time on the wedding morning. This is because in a Corean housei hold the boys are kept apart from the girls, the father and sons ocâ€" cupying the front of the house, and the mother and the daughters liv- ing in the rear of the establishment. Moreover, in their social life the boys are not allowed to mix with the gentler sex. The parents and friends/arrange the match, in ac-’. cordanco with their own interests» and, if both parties agree and the bargain is concluded, the formali-' ties are of'the simplest. There is no religious ceremony and no legal: contract. Early on the wedding morn the bestman arrives to tie the bride< groom’s pigtail in a knot on the top of his head, and this not only remains forever as an outward and visible sign of his condition, but em titles him to Wear that for the first time in his life and to be treated as a man and enter public life. He may be a mere child, twelve years of age, but he has no longer any right to play with his boy friends, and must choose his associates among old men. He has now all civil rights and is expected to be-. have accordingly. If, on the con- trary, a man is unable .to afford lhc' luxury of a home and a wife he may reach the age of 50, but he must still wear his pigtail down his back, has none of the advantages of citizenship and is expected to play with kites, marbles and such like. Any folly he may commit is’ excused in the same way as the naughtiness of a child who is not responsible for his actions. The wedding ceremony itself is most simple. The whole function consists of a procession, when the bride and bridegroom are conduct< ~ ed by their respective relations to a dais. There they are put face to face, and probably, as already stat- ed, see each other for the first time. They merely glance at one another, then how, and the knot is tied in‘ dissolubly. 3% I’rcparcil.
