The Benefit SoCieties to Receive Some Consideration. lerest Reservation and Provincial Park at , Nipissing—Forest Fires Decreasing— Last SCSSilen in the Old Buildings—Fish ani Game Commission. As it had been announced that this was to be the last session in the old building on ' Front street quite a large crowd attended. It is now 56 years since the first Parliament was held in the west wing of the building. Sir John Colborne opened the session there in.1836, and as this was to be the last ses- sion in the legislative pile Some historical interest was attached to the event. Many changes have taken place since then. The building is unchanged except .that it is more dilapidated and weather-beaten. The form of government has • been replaced by another, and the generation that represented tili4all that was wise and socially brilliant on at occasion has passed away. f 'Among the many spectators Present was Mrs. J. M. Gibson. Mr. Speaker took the chair srirtly before 3 o'clock, and read the writs calling for elections to take the place of the ex -mem- bers Messrs. Metcalfe and Dunlop. ' dr. Speaker then left the chair. Outside was " C " Company, of Toronto, in command of Capt. ' Macdougall and Lieut. Laurie. . When the carriage containing Chief Justice Hagerty reached the buildihg, "0" Company band struck up the National Anthem and " C " Company gave the general salute. Chief -Justice Hagerty, acting as Lieutenant - Governor, entered the room promptly at 3 o'clock. He was followed by Commander Law, R. N., Mr. Verner Harcourt, Lieut. - Cal. Gray, Brigade -Major, Lieut. -Col. Hamilton, Capt. H. Mowat. The Adniinis- trator took his seat and asked the members to be seated. . SPEECH FROM 'TUE THRONE. ' In consequence ' of the illness of the Lieutenant -Governor, Sir AlexanderCamp- bell, His Excellency the Governor-General in Council has been pleased to appoint me Administrator for the purpose of declaring to you the causes of holding this session of the Legislative Assembly, the first in the second centuryof the Parliamentary history of our Province.- , . The lamented death, alew weeks ago, of .., the Duke of Clarence and Avondale caused profound sorrow throughout the British Empire. On behalf of the peopleof Ontario the Lieutenant -Governor communicated by :cable their deep sympathy with Her Ma- jesty and their Royal Highnesses the Prince and -Princess of Wales in their great 'afflic- tion. His Royal Highness was pleased to acknowledge the message very graciously. • I am pleased to be able to congratulate you on the bountiful harvest of the past •year. The demand for the publications of the Department of Agriculture and for the enlargement of the scope of the Bureau of Industries evinces a growing . desire for 'fuller information with respect to all matters affecting the interests of the hus- bandman. The large attendance at Farmers' Institutes and at meetings °lather associa- tions connected with agriculture and the practical character of the work which is now being done are further signs of agricul- tural progress. The' work of instruction carried on during the past year by the Dairymen's Association and by means of the travelling dairy was very satisfactory. The demands for the travelling dairy were far , greater than could be met. • Notwithstanding the decreased output of timber and saw logs last winter,the revenue from woods and forests for the year 1891 was in excess of the estimate. ,The receipts on account of crown lands sales were alsa larger than anticipated. , 'ing to the exceptional drought in •the spr g and early part of the summer oflast year forest fires were unusually numerous and extensive. By means of the system of fire ranging adopted some years ago, these fires were in some instances entirely ex- tinguished at an early stage, and in others confined to limited areas. The prompt in conveyed to the Crown Lands De- partment through this service greatly facili- tated the work of the department in dealing with the injured timber, and a,bout one hundred million feet of pine in unlicensed territory through which fires had passed, were during the latter,part of the year dis- posed of at good prices. • A commission has been appointed to re- port upon the desirability of establishing A vince. So great has been the demanil for admission to the college that the increased accommodation is still inadepate to the public wants. A fit1I report "b trustees of the college Will be submitte Bills have been prepared and will b before you immediately, consolidatin municipal law, the assessment laws, a election laws, respectively, as these stand.

The report of the Commission •on Fish and Game of the Province will be before you, and if possible, measures be submitted during the session havi view the more effective protection of t important sources of food supply.

Hon. C. F. Fraser, Commissioner of Pub- lic Works, was the only absent member of the Cabinet to -day. He is sojourning at, Clearhead Springs, near the base of Pike's Peak, 75 miles from Denver. He will not be back in time to participate in the budget debate, but is expected towa,rds the close of the session. The duties of the Public Works Department will be attended to in the House by Hon. Richard Harcourt. Competition. In order to ascertain the views of chem- ists throughout Great Britain as to which of the remedies for outward application had the largest sale and greatcst popularity, "The Chemist and Druggist" instituted ,a post card competition, each dealer to name on a post card the preparation which had the largest saleand was the most popular with customers, and the publisher re- ceived 635 of these cards, with the follow- ing results : St. Jacobs Oil 384 Elliman's Embrocation 172 Holloway's Ointment 32, Allcock's Plasters. 19 Bow's Liniment 7 Painkiller 7 Vaseline 4 Cu ticura 2 Scattering , 8 Total 635 Wooden Legs in Great Britain. • London Tit -bits says : " It has been esti- mated by a dealer in artificial limbs that 300,000 persons in Great Britain, having lost one or both legs, wear wooden substi- tutes. At one time &irk was largely used for this purpose, but at the present day no good maker uses cork at all. Willow -wood is the basis of all well -made artificial limbs, and as its strength and toughness enable the legs to be made hollow, they are in reality a ootl deal lighter than the old cork ones. The chief diffi- culty that ma ufacturers experience is to obtain suffic' nt supplies of really good willow wood. One of the leading makers draws almost the whole of his supply from the trees that grow near the River Kennet, which runs between Reading and Devizes. English artifiCial limbs are absolutely the best in the world, and the main reason for this lies in,the superiority of English willow wood over any other."

Prof. Blackie writes to the Edinburgh Scotsman: I perceive that the spokesmen of the churches have been stirred to a chnrchly strife by the Duke of Argyle's most wise and instructive address the other night in defence of the common Protestant Presbyterian form of church government, to which Episcopacy, • since the days of Luther, forms a notable and fashionable exception. I was bred a theologian before I became a professor, and so the public may excuse me for g„iving fourteen lines of my Confession of Faith on the matter: MOH CHURCH OR LOW? Creeds and confessions! High Church or Low? I cannot say ; but you would vastly please us If with some pointed Scripture you could show To which of these belonged the Saviour Jesus I think to all or none; not curious creeds Or ordered forms of churchly rule he taught, 1 But soul of love that blossomed into deeds With human good and human blessing fraught. On me no Priest, nor Presbyter, nor Pope, Bishop or Dean may stamp a party name; But Jesus, with His largely -human scope, The service of my human life may claim.

(From "The Jews in Now York," in 1Pbruary "Century.") One of the latest abattoirs in the city, covering an ample block, owned and operated by men of Jewish race and faith, is remarkable for its smooth and effective working and admirable distribution of parts. An average. of eight hundred cattle, between three and five years old, pass through it in each of the business days of the year. Arriving from the west at the river front, they ascend one by one to the fateful enclesure, where an adept employee fastens a chain around the hind leg of each. Hoisted by machinery, the bovine falls gently upon one shoulder, and , in most instances without a cry. Occa- sionally, however, some brute, maddened by sight and smell of blood, breaks out into the slaughter -house, and creates disturbance that is speedily, quelled by its own despatch. Submiesive companions, with neck twisted to ex- pose the throat, quickly feel the shoehet's long and shining knife. The shochet him- self is ' a • stalwart - fellow, cool and wary withal, who rarely makes a useless motion. He is a religious man and of (toed moral character, as his license from Rabbi Jacob Joseph, chief of .certain orthodox congrega- tions in the metropolis, avouches. The life. stream in torrents follows the movement of his blade. This is "shechita," the killing. It insures complete effusion of blood, in which may be germs of disease that other- wise might find entrance into human bodies. Next follows " beeltlah," the examination of instrument and v ctim. If a nick appear on the keen edge -of the knife, that by ex- tremists is held to imply unnecessary suffer- ing, injurious chemical change and conse- quent unfitness of the carcass for market. If there be none, lungs, liver and heart, the entire body, indeed, are minutely inspected.
