INCORPORATION. In reply to progressive citizens let- ter in another colairn we beg to say, some of the questions asked will be somewhat difficult to answer, boweyer all we can do is to give such informa- • tion on the subject as we are iu pos- session of. In reply to questions: First, the number of population necessary to incorporate a village is 750. Second, The amount of Town -ehip rate paid by Markdale village in 1882 was $241.10. Third, the amount paid in licenses, tavern and shop, was $340, of this $140 remains in the mucicipilaties in which tbey are situated making a total of $381.10, this of course is independent of Coun- ty rates, general and special school and other rates whicL would not be affected by incorporation. Fourth, The amount necessarv to carry on municipal jjovemment is difficult to estimate, it is not customary to pay a village council for their services, and a small sum would pay for the services of Clerk and Treasurer so that $100 a year would be a liberal estimate for ordinary circumstances leaving a balance of $280 a year in the village treasury, or for improve- ments. We beheve the great draw- back to incorporated village* iu the past has been due to the ruinous sys tern of giving large bonuses for the establishment of various industries or competing railways, but we are of opinion that the bonus system is to a great extent a thing of the past, so mote it be. priation for Monicipal Ooyernment In the event of the amount saved in taxes and licences being sufficient to cover the expenses of municipal govern meot, I would ceitaioly favor incorporation at once, the only fear is the rise in taxes and I would ask the quectioD, what iftgcing to raise them. If we desire auy inqprovements as we are, our trustees haye to levy a spe- cial rate on the villaqt to pay for it,, while the monicipalitieB of which we form a part use our township rate, it may be to otur advantage or not, just as tbey feel disposed. Then there is nothing to fear in the direction of in- creased taxation except extravagance on the part of the Village CoDncU and I think we have sufficient knonrledge of the ratepayers of the village of Markdale to dispel any fear on that point. Hoping I have not trespassed on your valuable space, I wait for fur- ther information, Progbessive Citizen. Mr. Editor. I am amazed the Sons of Temper- ence did not have a membership of three hundred instead of thirty in this village when fictitious names swell the list as it is. I wish it to be distinctly understood I am no member of that order, and consider it a great piece of presump- tion to have had ray name attached to the list of officers without my consent or knowledge, not being present at the meeting at all Mks.

THE BRAKES WANTEi The Fleshertou Advance is creating for itself an unenviable notoriety for personalities and scandalous corres- pondence. Last week its readers were treated to a most vindicative and uncalled for communication oyer a fictitious naui which has naturally started its respectable readers with surprise aiid fear at its evil influence in ^eir families. We hope to see our Contemporary take a higher moral stand m future. From tho Rockies. W^e glean the following from a let- tei to his wife, dated the 27th of Aug from Mr. John Eowe, of Vandeleur, Artemesia, who is working ou the C. P. R., at the Eocky Mountains. We are nearly 40 miles in the Eockies, which are seven thousand feet high at tlje entrrance, and the top always covered with snow the year round. The weather here is very warm dur- ing the day time but there is frost every night sufficient to create ice on water in a pail, on the 21st of August when we arose the ground was cover- ed with snow, yet strange to say everything is quite green. Those who have been up here a number of years say gram does not come to maturity more than one year in five. I was much dissapointod in the coun- try, on the way here, there is about four hundred miles of desert, not eycn a tree to be seen, rolling hills with sage brush and no appearance of animal life, not even a rabbit.

J For my Dv\n part I must plead ig- 1 uorance in those matters, and will proceed to ask a few questions whi"h if answered by yourself or any other ratepayer who may be iu possession of the correct answers, will no doubt be ot interest, and enable us more in- telligently to consider this very impor- tant question. First, what population is required to incorporate a village Second, what amount is now paid in taxes, that would remain in our own trea- sury for municipal purposes, were we incorporated Third, wiat amount Many a woman has lost her hus- band's love and all influence over him lay trying to rule him. and by show- ing him, at some incautious moment, that she was endeavouring to do so. a man who is worth anything never allows himself to be commanded or managed, and we might as well make up our minds to do that at once. It is only a contempt able little sneak who wili ealmly sit down with a "just as you please, my dear," when he has an opinion of his own. And when a fine man gives a wo- man her own way, it is simply be- cause it is bis wish to please her and make her happy. If he really manly, he has no de- sire to have everything as he likes. He prefers that the household affairs shall be his wife's business. He be- lieves her judgment excellent in many things, as it often is. Sometimes rnany of his ideas will change as he lives with a good woman his moral tone will grow higher his ideas more delicate. She will get some of his strength he some of her sweetness but domineering is a grea,t mistake^ and when, with the idea that his ad- oration of her charms is so great that nothing can weaken them, the new- made wife forbids her Imsband his accustomed cigar or pipe, commands him not to smoke in the parlor which is his as well as hers desires him never to invite that disagreeable young man again, or perhaps orders his mus- tache off, she has only herself to thank if he a,dd8 a bow] to his pipe and smokes it in a barroom^ instead of in- viting his fnend home, goes out with him and stays until the small hours, and instead of shaving his mustache cultivates a full and bristly beard. Therefore, let wives take warning^ play second fiddle meekly, and get their powers by degrees and by gentle means, using smiles instead of frowws, and remembering the fable of the wind, the sun and the traveller's cloak which he only wrapped closer about him when the first blew fierce and cold and bitter, but took off of his own accord when the sun warmed him. So, majestic man, sure that he la doing it of his own accord, drops the mantle of authority from his shoulders to please a gentle, bright faced little woman who never ventures to domineer, while he wraps himself gloomily in its folds when an amazon It commands. Not only is it pleas- antest, my dear, not to try to rule, but it 18 much the best pohcy. Dux. „.„ „ to the brain, the digestion syatem suffers most materially, and while by his premature development he stands conspicuously above children of his own age and feeling soon u-ndermiues his health, and if sot arrested throws him into a premature grave. In such eases, add not to, bat keep down the ' excitement. When the lungs predondnate in a child, and the sanguine tempera- ment, there is a fondness for exercise, the food is lieartily eatyn, the sleep sound. S^ippose a child of this tem- perament to be seat to school after a sound sleep and eomfortable break- fast. For a tiose he may be still, but in a while, the craving for muscular exercise will be too strong, be may be pent up but cannot keep q;uiet, he begins to be fidgety, may receive blows for it, but still be forgets and the blows may be repeated but with- out effect be continues fidgiting, pok- ing with bis elbows, throwing peas, striking his neighbours with his fist and trying in every way to expend this energy. Such children are gen • erally said to be very clever, but to have no bking for books. The usual plan has been to scold such children well and if not quieted by this, as is very unlikely, the scolding is followed by a flogging, which is generally as inefficacious. The object should be to remove the causes of the evil. Let us attend to nature, give such chil- an opportunity of expending their muscular energy, and then they will be delighted with mental actiyity. The fibrous (generally but improp- erly termed the bilious) temperament is distinguished by black hair, dark skin, moderate fulness and much firmness of the flesh, with harshly ex- pressed outline of the person. It gives energy and power of continuing long in action to the bodily organs, which extends to the brain. The ef- fects of it are great powers of sustain- ed action, mental or corporal corree- ponding to the quality expressed by the word "bottom,, whea apphed to boases. Some children are of the lympha- tic temperament. These are slow to learn and indisposed of activity. The remedial plan has been to ifeg them continually. A much better plan is to study their constitution, and regu- late our treatment accordingly. To giye such children a moderate supply of nutritious dietâ€" animal, rather than vegetableâ€" and let them have plenty of muscular excerciae in the open an-, by this means you diminish the lymphatic, and increase the san- guine and nervous elements of the constitution. The different temperaments are rarely found pure. The common mix- tures are the sanguiue-lymphatic, the nervous-lymphatic, and the nervous bilious. I beg to call the attention of teach- ers to the fact that, in a great many of our schools the method used to correct the defects of organizati on and temperament has been to flog and shame the child that needed improve- ment; one of the most gross instances ot the application of brute force for the accomplishment of that in wiiich attention to the laws of th© constitu- tion can alone be successful. It fol- lows, from what I have said, that no rule can be laid down applicable to all cases. Specific differences must be closely attended to in the business of education. Dirx.
