At all events, an anti-conscriptionist will never succeed in guiding the Liberal party out of the wilderness. ' W---------------- The aldermen who voted against spending money for band concerts in the city parks this summer should not complain if the public classes them with the man described by Shakespeare, who, having no musie ©ord of sweet sounds, "is fit for tres- SORS, stratagems and spoils... Let no such man be trusted." CANADA'S INDEMNITY CLAIM. "Any part of the population of government had better not too great expectatibns. The 'who have bepy clamoring large bonuses, and who have 8 - of securing their demands yhen the indemnity 18 paid, should pt let their hopes rum too high. ; has little chance of obtaining 46 sum that she has asked for, The exact figure of the indemnity » by Canada 1s $1,871,000, 0; nearly two billion dollars. The nées of securing this are véry $7.600,000,000. The British Empire's share of this would be $1,876,000,- 000, or just enough to meet Canada's claim, without leaving a cent for Great Britain or any other part of the empire. The Hythe conference places the share of France, as proposed by a financial expert named Keynes, at $2,062,500,000. The American com- missioners place it at $4,025,000,000. No one will for a moment pretend that the losses of Canada were of such an extent as to entitle her to a sum nearly fifty per cent. of that awarded to France, in one instance, or within $200,000,000 of that awarded in another, warranted in asking nearly two bil- lion dollars, then surely France and Belgium would be entitled to at least | ten times that amount. Canada asks | for more than has been alloted to-| Belgium of Italy, although no one will for a moment argue that our war losses were to be compared with those of the two 'countries mentioned. The German statement is that the most that can be paid in indemnity is ten billion dollars. If this is ac- cepted, two and a half billions would come to the British Empire. Canada's bill would absorb four-fifths of that amount, leaving one-fifth for the rest of the empire. It hardly sounds fea- sible. \' Canada will be fortunate if she receives payment of one-fourth of the sum asked for. The major por- tion of the British share of the indemnity rightfully belongs to Great Britain, whose loses were many times greater than those of any other part of the empire. The other dominions must also have consideration, and if Canada receives a yquarter of what she asks it means that other parts of the empire will have to be slighted. So those who are looking for com- pensation from the indemnity had better face the fact that it is prac- tically impossible for Canada to re- ceive the amount she has asked for. The fyling of Canada's claim is likely to prove embarrassing to the British statesmen who are entrusted with the handling of this matter, so we must be prepared for disappointment, and must face it with as good grace as possible. 3 rr -------------------- DENTISTS AND DENISTRY. "Is the Sachem Angry--angry with Ruth, Because she cries with an ache. in her tooth That would make a Sagamore jump and cry And look about eye?" Thus Ruth Bonython tried to al- lay the jealous suspicions of her In- dian suitor Mogg Megone. Her ex- cuse had the defect of not being true; but Mogg accepted it readily. For, if we can believe Whittier's note, toothache was the only pain an Indian could not endure. One might think that burning at the stake would be quite as bad; but we are in no position to argue against the wider experience of the Indians, who had tried both. * In those bad old days extraction was the only remedy for toothache. Even now, pulling teeth is no small operation. But at that time, with no cocaine, no ether, no proper forceps ~--ugh! And them, when you tooth was once out it was gond for good, generally. The Egyptian warrior who got a tooth knocked out in a serim- mage probably Went to the priest about it. The latter would produce a new tooth of wood, or, for really classy work, ivory, with fine wire at- tached. Grasping the warrior firmly by the jaw, he would stick this tooth into the hole and twist the wire around the neighboring teeth to hold it theré. For chewing it was rather wobby, but it saved appearances. If the young gentleman wanted to shine before his best girl he got the' priest to stick some gold leaf on hs front teeth at strategic points--thus is to say, where it would dazzle har eyes when he smiled at her. When the mummies of some of these dan- dies were first discovered, it was an- nounced that the Egyptians had prac tised the art of gold filling. But the pretty story was spoiled some scientist. A scientific man must al- ways be poking at things. It you with a woman's doubt this, go over to Queen's and | watch them. One of the tribe poked at the supposed gold fling and ex- posed not only the perfectly sound tooth under it, but also the vanity of its former owner. exchange | If Canada is | . At a recent conference at or Real gold filings only began to be used about a hundred years ago; and they were crude affairs, jammed in by hand. Lead was tried before: that. Sets of false teeth were first made with springs that held them in place by pressing against the Jaws, We understand it was worse, on 'the whole, than wearing a bit. Effective denistry, then, is a mod- ern affair, The dentist's work is al- ways delicate and sometimes disag- { reeable, Most people now-a-days are toothbrush addicts, but at times the dentist meets one whose mouth bears evidence of a lofty scorn for {that humdrum habit. Then there is {always the little girl who shrieks [bloody murder, poor thing, when volve. In grown-ups, who are slaves to convention, this very natural im- pulse is repressed up to a certain point. Dentists should get very cynical; they see human nature at its weak- est .Yet they are often quite humag. Most of them are extremely careful, always on the watch for the slightest sign of pain. They don't want you to keep quiet if they are hurting yon, as a rule; they want you to let them know, Would. that we all were as likely to get what wd want! Last year the Department of Edu- cation investigated the physical con- dition of the children in many co/n- try schools of Ontario. In the first county inspected, 1,900 children out {of 2,600 were found to have decayed |teeth. Now this means that many a | youngster on our Ontario farms is | being forced to put up with the kind {of pain that an Indian couldn't stand. He wakes in the morning with [a nasty dull ache in his jaw, swal- lows his breakfast in half-chewed lumps, and hustles off to school. At recess, if he gets hot playing ball and | takes a drink of cold water, it starts | the dirty thing jumping like mad, and how can he learn division of fractions with that going on? When he goes home he may feed the pigs and carry in the wood, because 'he has to; but he has no heart to go swimming with the other fellows. 'And when he final'y goes to bed.be may lie tossing around half the night. It may be that the high cost of dentistry is partly to blame for all this. In some future Utopia dentists may be nationalized like railways, |and every man with a sore tooth will | have the right to get it fixed at the public expense, If all men are broth- ers, why should anyone suffer agon- ies from toothache for lack of ready cash?

On the 5th of June, 1813, the United States army that was lying in Canada in the war of 1812-1814 met with a severe defeat at Stoney Creek, Ontarie ahd sustained great losses including the capture of Generals The force of the invaders numbered about 3,500 men and it was flushed with a numb- er of successes in the land. Col. Harvey, who had led an army from New Brunswick, offered to lead a night attack against the Americans 80 as to throw the enemy on the defensive. The result was a complete surprise at Stoney Creek where the unprepared Americans were sur- rounded and routed in about an hour and a half, the small British force retired at daybreak in good order with enemy in flight and with one hundred prisoners including the two generals. They had also captured several guns of good type. So pre- cipitate 'was the flight of the United States army that they destroyed their baggage and munitions and fled to what is now known as Grimsby. The battle was a great stimulus for the British for they had been meeting with reverses and the fact that with the handfuli of men, they had put such an army to flight was | like the arrival of huge reinforce- ments to a disappointed force.

NAPANEE'S STAGE. TALENT PRODUCED "WHY SHE LOVED HIM", TWO NIGHTS The Play Was Put on Under the Aus- pices of the 1.0.D.E.~A Good Sum of Money Was Realized. Napanee, July 11.--The 1.0.D.E. of Napanee, under the able direction of T. H, Bird, presented the drama "Why She Loved Him," to a large and appreciativé audiéente in the ar- mburies on Thursday and Friday. The town is to be congratulated for the talent displayed by the younger set, To single out any one as a par- ticular artist would be very hard to do. Every member of the play seem- | ed to ibe especially fitted for his or { her role. Grant Paul, in the part of the ser- pent has reassured his Napanee | friends that he is well fitted for the stage. Mrs. Powell took the part of the girl of wealth and showed her splendid ability by her charming easy manner. Miss Alice Preston's part of the mothe guiding her way- ward son in the path he should tra- vel was well portrayed. Mr. Bird was welcomed again to Napanee audien- ces in the role of the Slave. Miss El- sie Woodcock played a very touching part.and captivated the audience through her saute manner. William McLaughlin played the role of the mountaineer with much credit. Hugh Burgess and Claire Hugill both ex- célled in their parts. Perhaps espec- jal mention might be made of Miss Elizabeth Carmichael, who portray- ed the part of "chick", one of the mountaineers' daughters. Arthur Ed- monston kept the audience in laugh- ter with his Irish wit. The specialties given between acts have never been equalled here. The L.O.D.E. will realize a neat sum from " TTT by Mrs. J. 8.
