Things in Africa have a. equally look; Britain is now moving in sym- pathy with Italy. What next? Even amidst the political quarrels of parties and partisans, the rumblings of war, the agitations of cabinets, the anxietiesof statesmen, the fears of sov- ereigns, and the unrest of the world generally, it, maybe worth while for Canadian producers to` ponder on the suggestions above, and try to realize the fact that the country's reputation for honesty and `fair dealing is measur ed by the honesty and fair dealing of its individual citizens.-0. It is of the utmost importance that a good paying market be secured for our surplus products. As our lands. ` becomeoccupied there is hardly a limit ' to production,.a_nd what we do not need it at home must be -sold abroad." Not-V withstanding all the party talk about the United States being the best place to sell these products, -the man who- keeps his eyes open will see that a country which has an overplus of the same things to `sell cannot be the pro- per place for him to protably take his goods. Britain must ultimatelybc the best place to go to sell our food pro- ducts of all sorts,and the only way to .' secure that market is to send only the best we can produce. Any dishonesty on the part of the packer or seller Wlll ` injure every man who sends anything * to Britain .to sell. `Butter must be made with the same care as our cheese. There must be weight in full, measure and quality the best. No bad or culled eggs should go across the Atlantic, and l - any trickof mixing interior `fruit with l .a better kind on the top or bottom of E thepackage to deceive the buyer will I be held as a charge against the whole .1 1 I 1 the producer, so that T the detection of the person committing a fraud may be u certain, and the criminal punished. 8 Every man in the country has an in- 04 . cause every man will be more or less ' affected by the country s trade relations`. : The extension of trade by honest deal- ing, and sending the best only to mar- - ket, will, to a certain extent, increase - every man's prosperity, while every act of sharp practice on the foreign buyer of our productions, will, to that extent, th take something from every Canadian s 1 pocket. Complaint has lately been th made of a poor quality of hay being he put up in the middle of bales, with ex- cellent `hay on the outside. Sometimes stones and lumps of earth have been found in the bales to increase their ar. weight. This shows that baled hay is should be stamped with the name of 39` the man putting it up so that he may be traced and punished for his dishon- esty. 181 t ,say.aas1`vat;;`a;_ A atidto blunt and dyrdtf the'i_ntellect be~ o vond_` the poeaibi1ity"of':eoove_x-y.

In a public capacity he served ,_ in different local oices, such as school but his youthful modesty made him,de- cline the proffered honor.` He took an a` bonus for the N. S. railway, and, in fact, {everything conducive to the ad- vancement and. welfare of the county that `came within his purview. In politics he was a staunch and true Conservative; in religion. Church of England; in philanthropic objects hewas one of nature s noblemen, sincerely be- lieving in the scriptual xnj unction writ- ten bythe apostle Paul in his epistle to the Romans, 12th chapter, 18th verse, If it be possible as much as lieth in you, live peaceably_ with all men." In his daily life he was a prac- . tical illustration of the text, for it could : be truly said in leaving this vale of tears he left not a single enemy be- hind. Very few of his neighbors for miles around have not received some genuine proof of his kindness, obliging courtesy and interested attention in prescribing for sick horses, cattle, or other farm stock. He never failed to respond to the many calls upon his time, sometimes even under the most unfavorable circumstances. He was possessed of those noble qualities of heart which embracean inborn love of his fellow men that is blind to their errors and sympathetic with their dii- culties and alictions. In his death the community loses a valuable citizen, the neighborhood a good friend, and the family a kind and loving father.

Some of the new provisions look to- wards bettering -the public schools. One of the provisions renders it obli- gatory on councils to levy sums requir- ed for common school purposes. The bill says that the municipal council of every township shall levy and collect by assessment upon the taxable proper ty of the public school sup;ort.ers of the whole township, the sum of $100 at least for every public school section, in which a puulic school has been kept open the whole year exclusive of vaca- tions; a proportionate amount where p the school has been `kept open six months, .21`. over, and an additional sum of $50 for every assistant teacher en- gaged for the whole year, and a proper- tionate sum for six months or over.
