gather in perfect serenity for an interval of genuine communion al though civilization brings many ad vantages in its train it has the great fault of tending to disrupt family in tercourse each member has too many individual activities fathers have their business sons their business or education mother their domestic duties or social occupations daugh ters their business their education or their social life all these things are right and worthy in themselves but they do not tend to weld the family if members of a family will make it a rule to de vote themselves for one hour in the week wholly to one another the spirit of family life will be quickened and strengthened often the members of a family pursue parallel courses that do not intersect it is mere platitude to point out that great events travel marriage death and the like must inevitably cause disintegration but so long as the family is together un der one roof the spirit of union and common interests should be fostered useful

authority whatever in such matters and cannot legally remove any part of a tree without the permissoin of the owner or municipality a few legal contests such as have recently occurred in the united states would impress this fact once and for all time upon the shade tree owners of ontario only a few months ago a contractor was obliged by an american court to pay niite hundred dollars for cutting down two trees the chief flaw in our system or pro tection is that we have very few skill ed tree inspectors in municipal em ploy so that municipalities are them selves responsible for a great deal of the everyday butchery the ontario statutes give a muni cipal officer delegated by the city en gineer power to remove a tree from private or public property on forty- eight hours notice but the owner must be recompensed for planting and protecting the tree no live tree un less within thirty feet of other trees may be removed without consent of the owner of the property in front of which the tree stands the municipality shall not be liable for damage for the trimming of trees in parks or whose branches extend over streets if reasonable care has been exercised in the operation any person

attorney- general who replied i think it is quite clear that the owner would have the right to prevent a telephone com pany from stringing its wires in a tree planted by him in the street because two months ago an officer was go ing along his section of fire trench when he found a- man standing up a head and shoulders above the para pet and blazing at something over it and then calmly lowering his rifle and standing there looking- over the parapet with a trench of the enemys not 300 yards away it turned out that he was having a duel with a turk 1 i do not know by what quaint sys tem of signalling they arranged it but each one was having one shot at j the other and then standing up there for the other to have next shot at him i so they blazed at one another whilo the men along that section of the i trenches looked on through their pori- i scopes and loopholes and no doubt the turks were looking through theirs also the officer told the man to stand down at once and not to be a fool the duellist stepped down when he was ordered to but the moment the officer had passed he jumped up again and went on with the game his rivals shots had almost grazed his car lioth sides were eagerly looking on and observing quite hon orably the rules of this extraordinary game whtsi the australian fell back into the trench shot through the i temple the shot came not from the turk opposite but from a distance to the south while the australian was shooting some other turk had shot him sport at th e front how his under section 2 of the ontario tree the sunday school international lesson
