The base of Mrs. Angelique Gagnon, of St. Jerome, Que, illustrates the truth of these statements. Mrs. Gagnon eayrs: I am fifty years of pge, and up to a few months ago always enjoyed the best of health. H‘hen I began to feel run down and area-k, without patience or ambi- tion. My appetite grew poor, and my nerves seemed to be on edge, and the lehst noise or worry would make me irritable and nervous. fLife became an actual burden, and I could no longer look after my ousehold duties.

It s fewer children than any of bone countries but France, and ’fewer older persons than any except iGemnany‘. In conaequenoe of the all in the birth rwte the proportion young children has considerably diminished. For each million of the [population in 1881 there were 135,â€" }551 children under the age of five years. In 1891 this number fell to 122,523, and since then to 114,262 in {1901, and to 106,857 in 1911. “At the London School of Econo~ ios and Political Science Karl earso-n, in delivering [a course of ectures on “Infant Welfare,’ drew ttention to the falling birth rate '_ hich has existed since 1878.

There are no less than exght dlfiel‘en European races represented, This bald recital of the facts does not at all indicate the significance of what, amounts to a revolution in newspapardom. In fact. as yet no one knows what is the actual significance. One may only sur- mise, and 91 eurmises there‘ are plenty._ Montreal is having a. series of sensa- tions in newspaper circles. The Daily Witness which for generations has been a by-word throughout Eastern Canada. has passed away. In its place comes the Du.in Telegraph. The Herald, one of the oldest, if not the very oldest. daily newspaper in Canada, has changed hands and changed politics. In a month or two there is to be another new morning paper to be called the Daily Mail. Only the Star and the Gazette remain unchanged and unmoved like rocks in the midst. of a. surging sea. But even they are vitally interested in th_e_9ha_ng:es going on around them. It may be stated that the reason the Witness dies is because it could not be made to pay. In the hands of the Don“ galls the Witness has been a power in the land. Politically it has been classed as Liberal and on several occasions has been understood to voice the opinions of Sir Wilfred Laurier. But it was never a. vio- lently partisan paper and never repre- sented anyone but the Dougall family. The Witness cared much more about mor- al issues then it did about purely politâ€" ical issues. It has been pointed to as an illustration of the alleged fact that a. newspaper cannot be strict in its moral views and at the same time be made to pay. But this is hardly a. fair deduction to draw from the example of the Witness. The Witness’ views and policy were ex- treme. It would accept no liquor or ones- tionable medics] advertisements and in this its example is being followed by many publications. But it would be diflicult to discover another secular publication whiCh refuses to publish theatrical news and advertisements, or sporting news and ad- vertisements. And this was the policy of the Witness for many years. This policy was based on the belief that amusements and sports were often sinful, and if not actually sinful themselves, were frivolous in their character and might have a de- basing effect, to which the publishers of- the Witness were not. willing to subject their readers. The purchase of the Herald by Mr. D. Lorne McGibbon. one of the aggressive capitalists which Montreal has produced in the last dozen years, made it essential for Liberals to get a mouthpiece and no doubt hastened the purchase of the Wit- ness. Who that someone is remains a. mystery. One surmise is that E. A. Robert. a local capitalist interested in the Street Railway. has associated himself with Lib- eral politicians in the venture. Another guess is that Sir Hugh Graham, proprietor of the Montreal Star, is now behind the scenes ‘in the Telegraph office, but this scarcely seems creditable, although there are examples in England of capitalists owning and managing newspapers on op- posite sides of politics. The Montmal Star has been accepting full page advertise: ments from the Telegraph, a. circumstance which may have originated the rumor. but it would seem that this fact is no more significant than that the Star is not unwilling to sea the Telegraph find its flaw as the Liberal mouthpiece. particu- arly if, in doing so. it injure: the Star's old rival, the Herald. which now threat- ens to rival the ’Btar in Imperialism and to be a more motive competitor than ever. The Herald has even gone to the length of buying a weekly paper, Theg'Mirror, to get out in competition to ‘Bir Hugh Gra- ham's Standard. . This was the spirit, of the Monastery and not of a modern business establishment. It typified how far out of touch the old Witness was with the world in which it lived. It was not that. the Witness lost so much in actual cash in the advertise- ments it refused as that it failed to find a clientelle. ThefDougalls would not, sell the name. But the rest of the broperty has been transferred to new owners who are repre- sented in the management by Mr. C. Gor- donemith, who for "many years was 9.550- ciated with‘ the Dougalla as Managing Editor, and who has absorbed their ideals. Mr. Gordonsmith is as pleasant a. gentle- man as one could wish to meet andlhould 1:ng the {lewspaxgerA gape. ‘ Dally Mall comma. Meanwhile, new buildings. new presses. THfi WflRlfl IN REVIEW Who Are The Purchasers? {new equipment are being rapidly assem- bled for the morning Daily Mail. With its gpublioation, the Gazette will, for the first {time, have competition. In the active man- agement of the Dally Mail will be B. A. ‘McNab, for many years Managing Editor of the Montreal Star. and a sphinx like igentleman of portentous mien. Also there iwill be M. E. Nicholle, who has had much experience in Toronto, and later on the ‘Wlnnipeg Telegram. He is a. half brother lot Hon. W. '1‘. White and is regarded as 3one of the most promising men in Can- jadian journalism to-day. With two such 'men the Daily Mail will not be under- ‘manned. There is also a mystery as to who the proprietors of this paper are. jthough it is generally accepted that Rob- .ert Rogers end associates are interested. :Bir Hugh Graham’s name is also ,men- ftioned in this connection. The Sta:- and lthe Gazette, though on the same side 01 ipolitics, have never got. on with one an- other any too well, and it has frequently been rumored that Sir Hugh Graham pro- posed i'o attack the Gazette’s monopoly of the morning paper field. \ North Grey’s Surprlse. l i The result of the lay-election in North l Grey came as a. surprise to the politicians. '1‘; was generally recognized that the ma- :jority given Hon. A. G. MacKey in the previous election had been abnormal, and ithere were few on either side who expect- ‘ed a. majority either way of more than i 100 or 150. There has been nothing fussy or obtru- sive in the action or in the speeches of the Governor-General, and fiaturally as a, near relative of the Sovereign he has been more than ordinarily careful to obserVe the attitude of a constitutional ruler. Perhaps the most uncomfortable part, of the Duke's sojourn has been the obsequioua- nose of certain sections of the community. Perhaps this will now disappear. Drunkonness Increases.

For example, the Mail and Empire and the World accept the verdict as an en- dorsement of the Government's‘ license policy. as contrasted with the Opposi- tion’s Banish the Bar platform and as a refutation of the charges made against Hon. W. J. Hanna. The Globe, on the other hand, says that the Government had to win the seat and had to procure the means of doing it. Answering a. question running through many minds, the Globe affirms that the event will only make Lib- eral workers more determined to win at the General Election and “not a plank will be dropped out of their pletform. the abol- ition oi the bar above 311." Duke of Connaught Returns. ,The news that the Duke of Connaught has accepted an extension of one year of his term of office as Governor-General of Canada has been received with satisfac- tion. Perhaps the most satisfactory fea- ture of the circumstance is that it turns iehes a refutation of the idea that His Royal Highness found life in Canada par- taking ‘of_ the ‘naflture of‘an exile. The Duke of Connaught’s original ap- pointment in October. 1911, was a hold «:13. parture from established practice. Never before inwthe long history of the British Empire had a Prince of the Blood visited at any of the dominions as the official and resident vice-regent of the (King. There was at that time some little imeas. inese felt in some quarters of the Do- minion. It was suggested that the eti- quette of the court might estrange the masses of Canadian democracy. However. we are new assured that life at Rideau Hall has neve'r been simpler than since the King’s uncle has been Governor-General and that never has its social atmosphere been more wholesomq 9r mpre natural. crease in intemperance in Canada have re- cently been compiled. In the City of To- ronto, for example, in the year 1901 there were 3,945 arrests on charges of being drunk and disorderly. At. that time the city had a population of about 240,000 so that for every 1,000 persons there were 1‘1 drunk-s in the year. In the. year 1912, howevel‘, there were no less than 15,605 drunk: and disorderlios. This with a. pop- ulation of 450,000 means that, out of every 1,000 persons there were 55 drunks: that. is, just. twice as many an 11 years previouily. Similar figures are obtainable from other Canadian centres. It is said that one of the reasons for the increase is the increase in foreign pop- ulation. The chic! cause would seem to be the great increase in rospsrity. an increase 'which it is to be cared has not been accompanied by a corresponding in- crease in godliness. Balkan larbarlsm. , The original triumphs of the Balkan allies over the Ottoman Empire have had a deplorable and repulsive sequel. They set forth to carry freedom to their kins- men and they are ending up by spreading devastation among peoples already tried- nlmoet beyond endurance.

The passing of the second reading 01 the: IrishB‘ome Rule Bill in’the British Parliament by a majority of 109, on the second of the three neoeasary journeys of the measure through the House of Com- monai has made a good many eople for the first time.'really believe ’6 at Horne Rule is actually coming.

Sir Edward Canon is tour- ing England and Scotland working up en- thusiasm for the cause of Ulster. It seems to be admitted that when Home Rule goes into effect, as it now seems likely to do next year, there will be in Belfast a cer- tain amount of rioting. But. this it is thought, can be suppressed. The real dis- turbance may-come from the farmers 01 the surrounding counties. If they make up their minds to rebel there will be rebellion. But. up to the present. there has really been no absolutely convincing sign of any such serious outcome. w uavu uwn w -v... “m”.-. It. was also significant that on the 12th of July in Ontario there were few, if any. references to the Home Rule issue in Ireland. Terrible Experience in the Rocky Mountains. At the close of a Winter trip among the Rockies, Mr. Enos A. Mills and his collie, “Scotch,” started across the continental di- vide in the face of weather condi- tions that indicated a snowâ€"storm. He tells the story of their exper- ience in “The Spell of the Rockâ€" ies.” While the Wind blew a, steady gale, they went forward over snowy, icy ledges, on which there was not the sign of a. path, until they reach- ed a, cliff 'of ice that they must climb. ‘ When I came to a place where it was not very- steep, I stopped to transfer Scotch from one shoulder to the other. The wind was at its worst; it would fall quiet one mo- ment, and then bluster at me with the suddenness of an explosion. I was just moving Scotch, whenit suddenly shifted, and rushed upon us with the force of an ocean breakâ€" er. It threw me off my balance, and tumbled me heavily against the icy slope. Fortunately I managed to get two fingers into one of the chopped holes, and held fast. I clung to Scotch with one arm; we came to a jarring stop, both ~(awed. Gripping Scotch with one hand and clinging to the icy hold with the other, I shuffled about until I got my feet into two holes in the wall. Standing in these, and lean- ing against the ice, with the wind pushing and tearing at me, I man- aged to lift Scotch again to my shoulder, A few minutes later we paused to breathe on the icy ridge The last one hundred feet or so rose steep, jagged, and iceâ€"covered before me. There was nothing to lay hold of; every point of vantage was plated and coated with ice. There was only one way to sur- mount this icy barrier, and that was to chop toe and hand-holes from the bottom to the top. Such a climb would not be especially diffiâ€" cult or dangerous for me, but could Scotch do it? I determined to carry «him. His weight was forty pounds, and he would make & topâ€"heavy load. But as there seemed to be nothing else to do, I threw him over my shoulder and started up. ‘I grasped my ax‘and chopped my way to the top. Returning for Scotch, I started him climbing just ahead of me, so that I could boost and encourage him. We had as cended only a few feet when it beâ€" came plain that sooner or plater he would slip, and bring disaster to us both. We stopped, and descended to the bottom" for a new start.

The Witness was against puttisg too many cautionary signs on the roads, because people would pay no attention to them. 'M‘otor drivers should be trained and ($0111- cated. Reckless drivers would be found out when they had an acci- dent. The chairman remarked that that was like allowing a, dog to have one bite, and he would not like 'to educate his driver in that way. ’ Clears Up On Change to Proper Food.
