NOTES AND COMMENTS Roe Dr. Pugsley expects to make. next month, a. departmental tour of in- lepeation of public works now under Way in various parts of the Doolinion, going ahrottgh to the Pacific coa4t. Hon. Jaegilea Bureau, Solioitor-General, will ala° matte is tour of inspeoton of pent- tentiaries throughout the Dominion, A newodeeler iii Chesiey ordered 3$ cruel daily papers containing u re- port of the ILinrusde wavier and sold ever.; onlay; He ordered au equal number, containing u report of the Laymen's Missionary Convention and did not sell one.

N Lewis coulee in for coneider- able oritioism because of the prolific manner in which he produces billy to which the Ronne of Commons pays little attention. But very often the criticism would be :novo justly directed et the ooneervative and stiok•in-the-mud Oozumoners than • at the enterprising member who is not afraid to embody a new idea in a bill and give it the sarao- taan of his name. Hie latest idea is the eetabliehiuent of convict farms in Northern Ontario and Quebeo. Of course, the Commons will not piss it. It must be a Gevornmc'nt measure in any ouse, as it implies the expenditure of public money; and Canadian Govern- ments, from whichever party they oome, are usually so slow in taking up a new idea that they would make a tortoise nervous. But would it not be a capital idea to put convicts to work on isolated farms? The products of their labor would not interfere with the prices which houest workmen caa get for their work because the little farm etuif they would produce would not weigh a hair in the immense agricultural markets. Then the quiet, rural surroundings, the freeh air, the comparative freedom, the good food and good exercise, would nil be splendid moral agente for the reformation of the convict -by -accident or through adverse oircumstances, Cleveland has a prison - ere' farm near the oity which works wonders in the mot) of its minor prison- ers; and there is no reason why a natloual convicts' farm would not be eqaally helpful. Moreover, it could easily be made self-sustaining, and so relieve the shoulders of honest workmen of the burden of supporting idle criminals. The need for closer personal relations betweyp the three great overseas domin- ions of the empire-Cenada, Actstralia and 'Naw Zealand -the loyalty to British traditioue and the empire as a whole were the dominant notes of the speeches delivered at the banquet ten- dered the Anst'taliau and New Zealand dela gates to the Imperial Press Confer- ence at the National Club in Toronto on Monday night. The Senate adopted a novel way of dodging the proposal to reform itself. When Hon. R. W. Soott's measure came up Eiondey Senator Domville suggested that tie debate be adjourned until Thursday, which is a holiday at Ottawa. This being remarked upon, Senator Doraville suggested adjournment till Friday, and thie was carried. Perlia- ment, however, will prorogue two days before that date. Trade returns of the Dominion for April, the first month of the fiscal year, showa continued improvement. The total trade for the month amounted to $34,998,854, an increase of $4,028,207, over April of last year. Imports for the month totalled $22,581,673, an in- crease of 02,609,075. Exports totalled $11,862,737, an improvement of $t,07,- 969. The oustoins duty collected amounted to $3,788,480 being a better- ment of $490.739. The oontraot for Provincial print- ing for the five years from July 1 next has been awarded to the Meth- odist Beck Room, while the eontrect for the ruling, printing and binding for a like period ie awarded to the firm of E. H. Harcourt & Company. The contracts were in both oases award- ed to the lowest tenderer. Hon. A. J. Matheson, who made the announce- ment, said the Province would save approximately $28,000 per annum on the new con%racts over the existing figures. The present contract with the firm of Warwick Bros. & Rutter ter- minates on June 30th, Ear. Thomas Mulvey, E. C., Aesistaut Provinoial Secretary for Ontario, is shortly to become the Under•Secretary of State for Canada, in snocesolon to the present Under Secretary, Mr. Joseph Pope, who is to become Under -Score• tary for the new Department of Extern- al Affairs. In °selecting air, Mulvey for the poet the Government has acgrtred one of the moat eilieient civil nervents of the Onteri.; Gavernuaont, who, in addition to hie executive ability, will be of specie' nee to the State Depart- went on account of has experience and Icgel knowlecge i.a ouministecieg the companies and naturalization acts, and ire setting questions aff.^_ctiog Provir.tc..iol . and Federal jurisdiction. A QUESTION OF HEALTH Without Rich, Red Blood you can not he Healthy ---How to Obtain This Blessing, IC every woman and young girl would realize the danger of allowing the blood to be become thin and poor, would un- derstand that the Majority of common diseasee are caused by an apaemio (or bloodless) oonditieu, that persist- ent pallor means that the blood is not furnishing the organs with the required amount of noitrishmont, there would be awakened interest in the tonic treatment with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. Thin blood menus etarved nerves, wveakenrd digestion, functional dieorders, head- aches, frequently neuralgia, sciatica and even partied paralysis, Dr. Wilhelm' Pink Pills build up the blood, repair waste and preveut and 'Check disease. They fill the system wi ii rich, red blood which meene good he th and life. Mies Merle Din , St. Angele, Que., says: -"I am d grateful for what Dr, Williams' k Pills have done for me. My blood had almost turned to water. I was pale, had no appetite, suffered from pains in the back and side, and had a feeling of constant de- pression. The smallest exertion would leave me breathless, and I was rednoed in flesh until I weighed only 98 pounds. I got nothing to help me until I began the use of Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. They begun helping me after the first couple of weeks, and in a few weeks more I was again perfectly well, The color returned to my cheeks, the pains left me, and I gained in weight until now I weigh 130 pounds. I feel eo;Nippy for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pille have done for me that I hope some other ail- ing, miserable girl will profit by my experience and obtain new health," These Pills are eold by alt mediotne dealers or you can get them by mail at 60 cents a box or six boxes for $2.60 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. Poor Quality of Nay, Hay dealers in Montreal state that that there has been deterioration in the quality of Canadian hay of late years, and suggests that the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture could render im- mense help to the trade by instrnoting the farmer in the proper methods of saving and bailing hay. The hay crop at Canada is veined at $121,884,000, and its improvement by a proper system of curing and bailing, it is thought, can be enhanced in value by 25 per Dent., which which world increase it from $121,884,000 to a total of $152,355,000. The Trade Bulletin is of the opinion that the experiment of issuing instruc- tions totheproper to farmers as p oper method of saving and bailing their hay is worth trying on the part of the Government, especially ee muoh weighty results hang upon it. "Tile Inveester" in Setnrdey Night give's an idea of the vast railway de- velopment that is is progrp:.s in the Canadian Went. He write -e: It is ex- peeted that over :;25,000.000 will be cap:llenge this year by the railc,cgr in eonrtrncting lines in Wentern 0 t.'.

America's Cocoa Consumption. The imports of crude cocoa into the United Staten in the calendar year 1908 amounted to 97,419,700 pounds, valued et $12,909,836. The imports the year previous were 912,147 pounds less, but the total vaine was $2,155,743 greater, In other words the market vaine of the cocoa imports dropped from 17e cents per pound in 1907 to 13;.3 Dents in 1908. The United States is the Iargest consumer of cooca, the world output of which is about 340,000,000 pounds. The leading countries supplying the Ameri- can markets are the British West In- dies, which sent 27,945,871 pounds in 1908, while 17,026,116 pounds name from elsewhere in the West Indies and Ber- muda; Brazil furnished 15,301,524 pounds, while 18,773,986 pounds came from elsewhere in South America. Crude cootie ranks an twenty-fifth in importance of merchandise into the United States. ettteeeeteeetlerstets 915 t. Ii' 1 w': 51. C�R�9 eta 'Tr The Rock of Moses. According to R. 3. Robinson in the Strand Magazine, the "Rook of Mesta" lies in the wild valley of the Leja at the bites of Jebel Musa, the Mount of the Law, in the peninsula of Sinai. The ' rook le eighteen or twenty feet high, slightly inolined, a 'tough indentation over each side, whioh is intersected here and there with slits, and the atone is worn away in planes as if from the abate of running water. It is beyond doabt the oldest known legendary object in the vicinity. The Foran refers to this rook more than once, and from these allusions arose the reverence of the Bedouins, who hold it sacred: From the Middle Ages onward it has boon visited by Christian pilgrims, who has carved rude croae3s on its oidea. oe all the objeots in the depart it le most °loco• ly bound up with the simple faith of its wild inhabitants and of its early visi- tants.

So, in cum- ! ming up the coxa at the funeral, the .,• ,aeier delivered himself of the follow- ing: "My brethren and sisters, we are here to pray oar last rad reopeoi3 to our de- parted brother.

The striking ex- ception to this rule is Queen Alexan- dra, who has never smoked. In this respect she is different from. her sitter, the Dowager Empress of Russia, for the latter smokes a good many cigar- ettes a day. Another queenly smoker is the Queen of Romania, the highly acoompIished Carmen Sylvia. Tile Queen Mother of Spain, as King Al- fonso's mother is still called, is an- other smoker of cigarettes, as is the widowed Queen of Portugal, who con- trary to what might be expected in.a resident of southern Europe prefers Russian tobacco to any other. 91 41819 1•nna n6,. 56n. , .r FURNITURE • DEALER e a. ria n . n .r■ ■ re r P FURNITURE Special 30 Days' Sale EIBUIMMIEMEAcimusTASY PARLOR SUITES SIDEBOARDS PARLOR CHAIRS (odd pieces) BEDROOM SUITES COUCHES EXTENSION TABLES SPRINGS and MATTRESSES We bave a pretty fall stock and . refer the money to the goods.
