Doubtless he was snubbed--he would be--by those who NOW OWN estates in that county, but they are not the Hampshire aristocracy. The old English aristocratic families have for generations been gradually wiped out in fighting England' civil and other wars, and the Great War practically finished them. They were ss a class, great gentlemen, to whom snob- bery of any kind was abhorent. In their place has sprung up a crowd of titled wsr profiteers and carpet knights who have money and little else to recom- mend them, and they are snobs par excellence. The old order was feud+sand looked after those dep .nt on them. The new order'P&n the place occu- pied by th old by beating the other fellow to it, and, even if the rancher earl was 0 trilie rough in his ways, he was still of the old order in mind snd out- look, and as such to be bullied in an age when the law makes it physically safe try do so. In the words of the American merch- ant to his son, "You can't make s silk purse out of 8 sow's ear. The average Canadian citizen after years of apathy on the subject, has suddenly sst up and become politically m i n d e d . Formerly he was not particular- ly interested if a cabinet min- ister of any political persuasion lifted a few hundred thousand in graft, beyond probably re- marking that the said minister would have been a fool not to have annexed that sum when he had the chance. "The world went very well then," referring to past years, and an odd quart- er million or so in graft appeared to be of little consequence in the general scheme of things. But the world depression has chang- ed all that, and the present vot- ers are beginning to take an in- telligent interest in government. Hence a few new "isms" while the old parties carry on. I do not know what will come out of all this turmoil, but one thing is certain, that a reputation for old-fashioned honesty will carry a candidate over the top against all the platforms and political machinery that can be brought to bear against him. And the greatest difficulty of all will not be so much to find these men as to persuade them to enter poli- tics.

The annual May Day party of the Framar Montessori School under the direction of Mrs. W. D. Fraser, which took place last Saturday afternoon on the grounds of her residence at 18th and Esquimalt Ave., was much enjoyed by the many guests who attended.. It was a very charming scene as the little May Queen, Sheila Weir, and her at- tendants came down the steps and took their places on the throne, which had been erected on the lawn. Little Jessie Device, a pupil of Miss Margaret Mclntyre, was the first on the program with a well-rendered violin solo The boys sang a sail- or song, Norman Jackson and Philip. Skeets dancing a horn- pipe. Reid Mitchell gave 8 well executed tap dance, snd Bdddie Jupp sang a song. This was fol- lowed by a number of folk danc- es, also the swan dance as well as maypole dancing by the senior dancing class of boys and girls, which were heartily ap- plauded by those present. Three-year old Helen Jackson danced the balloon dance very prettily, and was twice called upon to repeat her number. Dor- othy Greenwood, 8 pupil of Mrs. Colin MacLean, delighted the guests with a vocal solo, the test piece at the B.C. Musical Festi- val in the class in which she had competed. Miss Marjorie Crick- may acted as accompanist. Following the program the children sat down to a dainty repast in the school room, while the guests were served with aft- ernoon tea on the lawn, Mrs. M. Taylor and Mrs. E. J. Pearce presiding at the urns. During the tea hour Mrs. F. F. Love- grove gave a vocal solo accomp- anied by BIrs. James McIntyre. West 37 G. GEMMILL, Agvor WATFR TUNNFI.

Pbou Mrs. King, West $04.Brown Trout are not native to British Columbia but the Fish Culture Branch of the Dominion Department of Fisheries pro- poses to find out whether or not they can be satisfactorily intro- duced into the waters of the province and the angling re- sources of the Pacific Coast thus enlarged. Undertaking this experiment, which will probably extend over three or four years. the Fish Culture Branch brought over 300,000 Brown Trout fry from Wisconsin a short time ago and placed them in its hatchery at Cowichan Lake, pending their distribution in two selected streams of Vancouver Island during the present spring. Should the fish prove desirable newcomers, other distributions will be made in other British Columbia streams in subsequent seasons so that the Brown Trout possibilities of the province may be thoroughly tested out. The experiment has the approval of the provincial authorities. and it will be watched with interest not only by experts interested in Ash culture but by British Columbia anglers who have been familiar with Brown Trout else&vhere and have been asking that steps be taken to introduce this fissh into Pacific Coast areas. This year's distribution will be made in one large stream and one small, where diiferent nat- ural conditions obtain. By choosing streams of different size and characteristics in which io plant the fry it may not only be ascertained whether or not Brown Trout will thrive in Van- couver Island waters but what conditions are best suited to their development. In this work the Fish Culture Branch has the c~peration of scientists of the Pacilic stall of the Biological Board of Canada, who are select- ing the streams for this year' distribution.

I think that the account of the wild applause which recently Vireeted in Paris the making of a new record in beer-drinking is quite the most disgusting thing I have read for many years. It is hardly necessary to say that the winner was 8 Heidelberg student. And, in passing, I might remark I have sampled a great many of the various sorts of drinks which a kind world has oifered me for money or love. The engulfing of them, however, after the Jnsnner of this record-makingstudentwould disgrace savages, who after all only go to excess in both eating and drinking because it is with them 8 case of a feast or a fam- ine all the time.
