He bad a taste for po litics, for the discussions of public questions, for the concern of affairs of ! state. He becane a leader among the !students, and in one election, which + took place while he was at college, he made the welkin ring with his im , passioned and eloquent 'anguage. Though & man of tact, of fuent speech, of cheerful temperament and ! magmatic manners, he did the wise "thing of giving to his profession his Hirst consideration; and in the special fission in which he engaged, in Chi- na and Japan, amassed a competence, Then he felt free to give some of bis time to the service of the people, and entered parliament under most prom: 'ising circumstances. As member for North Grey, -and as a public-spirited citizen, ax a medical man who served for the love of it, he was very much ifl evidence, and all too goon, when but thirty five years of age, had his career closed. He will be an example to the voung men in his devotion to duty, his ener: gv, his thrift, his usefulness. He has not lived in vain. THE FUTURE OF WOMEN. A bible reader in Erie, Pa., has reached the conviction, after much study, that women have no occasion i to be good, that they do not ge to heaven. He says the bible reveals all "that we know of God and His place of abode, and he finds no mention in the book of any woman having been translated to the Test. What becomes of the women, then, ot death ? Our friend sees the neces- sity of locating them somewhere, and 80 he alleges that they may be anni: hilatod; they may reach heaven, but will not be recognized as women; they may after death undergo a change { and becothe males. 2 The women may be disturbed over this discovery, but it is not likely, They are intelligent beings, and as capable of reasoning as the Erie philosophers. They realize that there ate some things that are matters of mere speculation, and one of them is the experience after death. No one whe passed beyond the veil has re- turned to tell of what he has seen and felt and known. The intermediate state may be like that which a Mon- treal man described on Sunday, with its different divisions, separated by a great gull, and yet within seeing and hearing distance, and the souls of those who have entered them may be putitiedl in passing and helped by pragers. In this intermediate state men and women may lose their identity and emerge free of all the dis tinctions that mark them in this life. The church has ite conception of life here and hereafter, but it does not indulge in wild sp Neither should its members. The one dom inating thought is that there is con: tinuity of life, and that one begins on earth o preparation for life in hea ven. Beyond that it is not &afe to go. The women who are mssigned to an- nikilation, to extinetion, or worse, through the predictions of a hapless individual who hes undertaken the sulaticn of a hitherto insolvable prob- loi, 'may lose their sleep in conse: quence; but if they do they will be showing a lack of the common sense that has marked them in the past. FRICTION IN FRANCE. The disturbances which have ocenr- red in France, with regard to educa: tion, will have one good effect. They will clear off a lot of misunderstand. ing which has existed in respect of the 'import, intent, ér meaning of the ps add law. - - Why should the government, at any place of eternal lation 2 Redvers Buller would Have vet clowed the schools in which thousands of little children have been taught, without anticipating the effect and without providing substitutes. For the time being the masses are bling an tagonized, for the French are general iv lovers of education," and anxious thet their young «hall begin their mental training early. The government finds iteelf in a dilemma. It cannot insist upon the suspension of educe- tion, and if it have not the state schools it must permit the continu- ance of the schools which dre volun tary and religious. 3 To undertake something radical, drastic, revolutionary, amd enforee it with the aid of police and military, only to abandon it as impracticable, merits the ridicule rather than respect of the people. AN EXPENSIVE ENTERPRISE. New interest is being taken in the fost Atlantic live question, because the representatives of the government who are in London, in attendance at the colonial conference, have had oc casion to concentrate: their attention upen it. 4he Canadian Pacifié railway is a competitor for the service, and one whose bona fides cannot be question ol. Sir William Van Horne, while the active head of the company, some years ago, announced that Canadian interests demanded the establishment of a-purely Canadian line of fast At- lantic sails. So that the attitude of the railway syndicate now does not create surprise. On' the contrary ils success becomes a guarantee of what muy be expected should the deal be closed and .the company become the projectors of the new departure. The subsidy asked is a large one, a million and a hall a year, payable equally and jointly by the Canadian and imperial governments. Of course the line will not be subject to the Morgan pull, or the pull of any other grasping and monopolistic power ! Not if anything can escape the clut ches of the money kings. Is the Cana dian Pacilic railway exempt from their designs ? Appparently not. It is the creation of energy and Canadian capital, many millions of the people's money went nto it at ibe inception, when large gifts and generous aid were be materialize the scheme. has been the mar- more of Canadian and cessary to But the putting stock & upon het, and will put it there as it develops its plans and seeks the capital wherewith to give them effect. This stock is at the dis- posal of the men who are organizing the great trusts, and they can, if they like, acquire a strong, and perhaps a demination, force in the management of the railway. The nationalization of the road-- that is the investment of government money in it to the extent of having control of it--bas been suggested. That is a great, and may be an im- possible undertaking, in financial position of the country. That something should be done to secure to Canada the full advaniage of the fast Adantic service, at the proposed cost, goes without saying. "There are some who will see more occasion for the subsidizing of an adequate inland service than , inst Atlantic service. The future of Mani: toba and the north-west demands an enlargement of the transportation ser- vice by land and water, when the crops have to be moved. The demand for cars and vessels is growing annu- ally. The supply is always insuffi. cient. "The Americans are bidding for the traffic, and will get it if Canada eannot provide for it hersell. Here is the problem that merits the closest attention, and calls for the hest mind of the ablest men. Hon. Mr. Tarte, now at Port Arthur and Fort William, is study- ing the situation and may be moved to make a start in the greatest Cana dian venture of the time. NEWSPAPER POINTS. An Ardent Wish.

Society to Promote Matrimony, Insure Happy Homes, and a Reasonable Start in Life for Young Couples. David ciy, New, July 36.---Two a} terneys of this city have formed. a mel bnneiiary association, that is attracting buntireds of members. It 8 \sdation won the old marriage Lepept "association idea, and presents #0 sitra tive a proposition that ar- rangements have been made to ineor- poraie it, It is entitled an "Association to Promote Matrimony, Insure Happy How + and a Reasonable Start in Life for Young Couples." The plan is as follows : Members pay into the order $1.30 a wonta for two years. HH married at the end of that time they are entitled to draw $200 from the treasury. by paying that sum for four years £100 is guaranteed. By keeping up the payments for six, eight or ten years, the puyer is entitled to draw $600, ¥500 or 81,000, Policies are cancelled in three ways : By marriage, death and non-payment of dues. The promoters have figurnd the matter out from the actuaries' point of view and assert that it can be made a paving concern, lapses, deaths and income front funds insaring a working out of the financial pro- position, One need not wait two years befgre marrying, but he must wait two years before drawing anything. The contracts are mumbered, and if it is impossible to pay them at the end of the stated period, they will be met as soon as funds are available, The association embraces men and women from all walks of life, busi news and professional men, clerks, far mers aod bankers. The membership is not entirely gonfined to the young, but at least twenty five members are of middle age. All the engaged couples in this city wre applicants. for membership, and if the voung people have their wa about it they will put it out of bus ness at the end of the first two years. The plan bears some resemblance to the diamond tontive plan, whereby a mah paid in $100 in two years amd got a diamond worth $165 or 8150 in cash. The first contractors were paid in full, but there were so few lapses, that most of the concerns went broke. CROPS ARE GOOD, In Manitoba--Lands Rising in Value There.
