Rose RTS, Tp. Clerk. The Biblein Schools. A Movement to Have Religious In- struction Placed on the Public School Curriculum. Toronto, Nuvember 3,--An_ import- ant deputation, headed by Hon, 8, H. Blake, and composed of members of the clergy of the English ehureh, waited the Provincial Government this afternoon, and urged that the subject of religious instruction and laity on te placed in the curriculum of the Public schools. The contention of the deputation was that the Bible should be madea regular text book in the schocls ; that portions of it should be read regularly every day, and explained to the child- ren, and verses committed to memory by the children. They desired, too, that this should become part of the regular routine of the school day, and that it should be made obligatory on the teacher to see that it was carried out. This religious instruction, the deputation desires, shall be given by the ministers of the gospel or by their representatives, and that each minister shall, during the time set aside by the regulation they are seeking to have in- eluded in the school system, have charge of and shall instruct the children of his owncommunion. As it is now, clergymen are privileged, if the school] trustees so allow, to give half an hour's instruction each day after the regular school are over, and the teacher is authorized to read a pertion of the Scriptures, but to do so without note or comment, and the last clause, "without note or co ment," it is also sought to have elimi- nated. hours Premier Hardy and Messre: Har- court, Dryden, Davis, Harty and Gibson received the deputation, and after listening to the various argu- ments advanced, Mr. Hardy express- ed his sense of the 1:mportance of the matter under consideration, and prom- ised that it should receive the fullest attention of-tne Cabinet. A First-Class Combination Inpustry and intelligence make a first-class combination. But it is rare. A lazy fellow who is inventive and intel- ligent often accomplishes more than an industrious fool. In the iofancy of the steam engine a boy was set to let the steam into the ends of the cylind- er alternately, by hand. He found it a boresome task, aud so invented a way to make the engine wait on itself. His method has been in use ever since --the priuciple of the "eecentric" motion. '*'What do you mix your paints with to produce those wonder- ful colors ?" asked somebody of Sir Joshua Reynolds. "With brains," curtly answered the great artist. This is a big idea, andit has to do with everything under the sun. Here, for instance, 18 the case of a man who 'spent a whole summer in bed when he might justas well have been on his feet looking after his business and having odds and ends of pleasure on evenings and holidays. Aijong in the spring of 1889 he took achill ; exactlythe time of yearto take chills if you don't watch out, and often if you do. Well, immediately afterwards a dreadful pain struck into both his hips and legs. The result of this was that he had to go to bed, and he stayed there sixteen weeks. Just think of that! Fancy it a problem in arithmetic--a child's simple "sum" to be worked out on a slate. Add the pain, the trouble and worry to his family, the direct extra expenses, the loss of time aud income, the loss of the summer's enjoyments, the doctor's bills, ete, ete. --and see what it tots up at. The first doctor who attended him snid he had sciatica, and had it very bad. The doctor was either right or wrong. Ifhe was right the result showed that he didn't know how to cure sciatica. If he was wrong it showed that he couldn't diagnose a disease from its symptoms. Put how you will, he might have been an industrious, hard-working man, but lacked something of being a proper doctor. Well, he gave up the case, and =e = Mr. Dawson (our suffering friend's name) gent for another. This one blistered him and pained him with iodine froin his waist to his feet. this time Mr. Dawson was unable te get out of bed or to dress himself with- out assistance. 'ne doctors' medicines and applica- tions failing to help him he went to the hospital at Buxton, where he was advised to try the baths. After being there three weeks he returned home but littie Detter for the treatment. The conclusion of this exusperating experience is set forth in a few words by Mr. Dawson himself in the letter from which the above-mentioned facts are taken. "T had," he says, "'little or no use of my legs, and it was wholly out of my power to attend to my busiuess. I lost a deal of slecp in consequence of the pain, aud owing to a wantoiap- petite and necessary nourishment grew very weak. Even after leaving my bed if 1 went out for a breath of fresh air I had to stop and rest every few yards.

Persuaded) by the clearness and evident sincerity of the reasoning, I began taking the syrup, and soon found relief. My legs had more power, and the pain gradually subsided, until it ceased altogether, a could go ubontas I did before I was taken ill. had only known of this remedy and used it sooner I should have been saved suffering and heavy doctor's billx, You ean publish this statement if you think it will be of use to others." Yours trnly (sign- ed) Harrison Vawson, Heap Bridge, Bury, April 27th, 1893 Our friend's inference logical as to the advantage he would have derived from an ear) kuowl- edge of Mother Seigel's Curauve Syrup; as bis ailment--acute rheumatism-- arose from the poison generated by a torpid digestion and a clogged liver, for which the syrup is » specific. ix doctors laboured hard to cure him no doubt, but without an understauding of the cause of his condition. Blind men may walk, but are apt to walk in circles. The remedy that succeeds where others fail is a product of indus- try and intelligence. is perfectly A WONDERFUL RECEPTION. The superb premium picture "The Orphan's Prayer" is new being dis- tributcd to subsembers of the Family Herald and Weekly Star, Montreal, and it must be admitted thatit is an astonishing premium for a paper to give. From all accounts the picture is receiving a magnificent reception. We see amongst those who are highest in their praise of the Family Herald picture many artists of world-wide reputation. Men who never known to give their endorsation ora were word of praise for a premium picture are lavish in them praises of the Family Herald pictures. It is felt "lon all hands, and amongst rival pub- lishers, too, thatthe Family dfcrald of Montreal is just}y entitled to the congratylations of the whole Domin- ion. We hear that the subsocfiption list of the Family Herald shows the greatest boom in the newspaper busi- ness this country has yet witnessed. Very few people will believe when they see the picture that such a gem and sv wonderful a paper as the Family Herald can be had for ove dollara year. cam THOUSANDS OF DEAD. Perished From Hunger or Frozen to Death." Sixteen Hundred Decapitations Daily For Two Weeks--Awful Stories of the Kan Su Rebellion. Tokio, Oct. 20.--(Via San Francisco, Noy. 8.)--Terrible accidents come to hand of incidents connected with the Mohammedan rebellion in Kan-Su. It is estimated that 10,000 Mohammedans, chiefly women, children-and old men, have died of hunger or have been frozen to death in the hills and mountains. Those that have submit- ted number 18,000--women and chil- dren for the most pirt. Thirty or forty thousand remained under arms among the hills in the south-eastern district. The business of dispersing insur- geuts was conducted with wholesale vigor so soon as their strength had been broken in any district. An av- erage of 1,600 had been decapitated daily for two weeks in the Si-Ning on June 16, and as three thousand heads remained-to come off the san- guinary carnival was extended to go on for an indefinite time longer. Crowds of people watched the exe- cutions, und it is easy to conceive the demoralization that must have re- sulted from such prolonged intimacy with this bloodshed. Sundry Errors in Estimating the Cost. The estimated cost of the Manchester ship canal was $28,750,000. Nearly $80,000,000 was spent before the canal was ready for business. The inter- national commission reported in 1856 that the cost of digging the Suez Canal would certaiuly not exceed $40, - 000,000. It had cost $94,500,000, to say nothing of Egypt's gratuitous build- ing of lighthouses, dredging of the harbors, advance of money without in- terest, and gift of forced labor, the whole amounting to 320,000,000 more. Engineers spent a year collecting data for their report on the Congo railroad, which they asserted could be built for 35,000,000. They now say that the total cost will be from $12,000,000 to 215,000,000. The egregious under- estimate of cost of the Panama Cunal pearly swamped that enterprise before wholésale stealing completed the ruin The forts on the Meuse River, estim- ated at $4,500,000, cost $16,000,000; the Corinth Canal cost $12,000,000, instead of the estimated , $6,000,000 ; a harbor and a railroad on the island of Reunion cost $13,500,000 instead of $6,800,000 ; the Senegai railroad, which was to be completed for $2,600,000 absorbed 39,400,000. and the Langson railroad, in 'Toukin, which was to open a con- quered province for an expenditure of $500,000, bled the French treasnry to the tune of $4,367,790.--Army and Navy Journal.
