NOTES AND COMMENTS Toronto Globe -Last year's casualty list in the army of industry in the United States was olose on 35,000 killed and about 2,000,000 injured. American reoklessness and the habit of placing a low valve on the life of a man of small earning power -are the ohiet nausea of this record. Mr. Issac Brock Lucas, K. 0., M. P. P, for Centre Grey, was Thursday etfter- noon sworn in as a member of the On- tario Government without portfolio. Mr. Lucas was summoned to the Cabi. net chamber, where, in the presence of the ministers, his honor the lieutenant - governor administered the statutory oath of allegiance and the oath of a member of the executive council. The total immigration into Oanada for April was 24,237, as compared with 29,723 in April last year, The immigra- tion from the United States was 12,609, se compared with 9,084, an increase of 39 per Dent. Arrivals at ocean ports to- talled 11,628, am compared with 20,669 for April last year, a decrease of 44 per cent. In addition to the immigrants arriving at ocean ports there were 2,728 classed as returning Canadians. M A boy may be lectured and tutored by e. father upon the proper thing to do and the thinge to avoid to stave off failure or worse, yet advice and example are wasted. The boo, and even the man developed from the boy, will learn noth- ing, or, at least, will pay no attention to the lessons of experience of others. It is only by bitter personal experience that he can be brought to an appreci- ation of the wisdom of the advice of parents and elders. -Woodstock Express.

While evolution teaoheaithat this is partly tray the accumulated experience of old wise physicians has shown that in many case after removal of the tonsils there toilows a stunting, dwarf%og of the ehueaoter, a speotes of eunuchism.

Now that the factory season Is getting lace frill ming, farmer* are wondering bow the cows will do tide year. Dow* are expeoted to make some profit. Great expeotations are always realized, and i! pasture is poor, how is the mill* flow to be kept up? Hopper she man who ba* provided for a supply of green feed, and who has a silo tor Bummer feeding, Some oheok ihoald be kept on the yield of each now. If the milk is weigh- ed on only 8 days a month and samples tested owls p month, then the owner will know very closely which are the heaviest producers. If weights are taken at every milking any endden vara. Atteu will be immediately observed, steps oan be taken to remove the otiose. If a reoord is kept of the feed, the moat profitable cows can be detected, and some that might produce more if fed better will be given the opportunity. This is what members of the cow twit- ing associations are doing, studying eaoh individual in the herd *o as to make sure that eaoh single oow kept gives a profit. Thi* is evidence of good bueiness management. No one wants to harbour a cove that is inoapable of making a good profit. Does eaoh one of your cows pay? Do you know that she does? Guess work won't do these days. Record blanks are supplied free on applioation to the Dairy commissioner, Ottawa. Many men since oommenoing to record are now receiving $60 per now when they used to get but $40, because they know which are the economical producers. It certainly does pay to teat cows.

[Seaforth Expositor.] Complaints are all too frequent on the part of merchants in the smaller towns of the prevalence of city sbopping. To the detriment of the local merchant many persons have got the avail order habit. In other words they have got into the habit of doing considerable of their buying by mail from the large city departmental stores. This buying away from your own town has a two fold ef. feet - it not only affects adversely the merohants, but it is a serious detriment to the town. In the long run it will re-aot unfavorably on those who indulge in the practice. It is only building up the cities at the expense of the home town. Commerce is based on an equal ex- change of commodities, and a deviation from this principle only means ruin in the end to either one side or the other. People cannot expect to continue send- ing their money to other places for the goods they require and continue to successfully sell their products or labor in the home town. The practice is not confined to any one olass of the cam. munity, all classes are more or less guilty. With many it is a ease of thoughtlessness, with others it is a de. etre to get goods at a leas pride than they can be legitimately sold and Ieave to the merchant a living profit. Many are caught by the inducements held out in the catalogue of the large departmental store that is being sent into the home, without a visit of inspeotion to the store of the local merchant, Where in many cases a similar article could be purchased ea quite as good a price. In these days of keen competition the merchant must be up to -date in every particular is or- der 80 be in the raoe, and this same com- petition prevents any excessive charge for goods, and when quality is conetder- ed the prioes at the home store will be found as low it not lower than those in the pity stores. What We want is loyal- ty to the home town and loyalty to the home institutions. If this is carried out the service will be equal to that of the oit9 store and the prosperity of the town will be inoreaeed, there will be a readier market for the produce of the farm,` and the demand for liber will be increased. N'oxt time you are tempted to patron. izo the mail order departmental stored consult the advertisements in the local papers and visit your home merchant If he has not what you want he will get it for yon. If it is :tot right he will slake it right for yon, Nothing could be falter than this. You will not lose anything by the trent:aotieu, you will be the gainer in the long run, ,and you will have the datle.action of knowing yon are doing your share towards building tip the home town and keeping it in the front rank.

(Ragi,tered in accordance with the popyright Act.) HEtoEs oe' FAITH. Reb, xi:1.40, Golden Text -Faith is the substanoe at things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Heb. xi:1. Verses 1.8 -In what respects are faith and hope similar? It a desirable thing is possessed by email:, does that give as mach, or similar satisfaction, as the possession of the thrag itself? What is the ground of our faith, that "the worlds are framed by the word of God"? Why do we admire the men of faith if past years? Verses 4, 5 -Abel had a truly relig• sous nature; nt.w was this nature the result of his faith, or was Ms faith the roault of hie nature? Dote this record mean that Euoch's rnnalation was direotly caused by a aped&e act of faith, or that his general Ilfe of faith made him such a good roan that God translated him without + e th? Terse 6 Faith is Sometimes based upon outward evidence; sometimes upon personal revelation; some times upon tuition, and Sometimes capon composite grounds; what mor- al or spiritual qualities, therefore, are necessary for becoming a man of faith? (This question roust be eaiswered in Writing by members of the club. Why is faith necessary in order to plasma God? Verse 7 -- What was ITdah's faith heated upon, send wherein war his faith naerltorione? Nemec 8.12 --What was the difference, if tato, between Abrahatn's faith and that of the Pilgrim fathers, when they Tari the old country for the Amerioan bald of premise? I take it that Abraham and the Pil- grim fathers, while in communion with God, felt a drawing to go to the rioh country in the distance about which they had heard; that they took this drawing to be the voice of God; and in this faith they started out; what evidence is there that their faith was true, and that such faith is always de- pendable? Verses 18.16 -Wily is it that all na- tions and all peoples, in all time, so far as we have any record, believe in, and "desire a better country, that is an heavenly"? Verses 17.19 -Give from memory the account of Abraham offering up his son Ieaao. What is the particular virtue, in Abraham obeying God in the matter of offering up Isaac? Would it be a virtue of a vice in these days, if any man should do the same thing as Abraham did? Verses 2081 --- Suppose the persons mentioned in these wonderful verses, Ieaao, 3acob, Joseph, Moses and Rehab, had been lacking faith in God, in these oritioai moments of their lives, what would have been the difference in the results? Does faith in God always make the present happy, and picture in glowing oolore the fntnre? Verses 32.40 -Rave men distinguished for their faith always been noted for their goodnoss? Tillie is a thrilling account of the ex- plolte of the man of faith; give me an account of the achievements of men noted for their lack of faith.. Lesson for Sunday, Jane loth, 1909 --Review. br.

One of the most brilliant operators of Wali street in the early sixties et the last century carts Walter Wellman Morse, though be was by comparison with some of the gray haired market veterans only a mere boy, being just thirty years 08 age. The publle con- adeuce he enjoyed made it possible for him to realize profits in any stock. Such was the influence bis 'adorn - merit would carry that after he had accumulated stock at his prices be could tell his daily callers that the stock was due to go up, and immedi- ately there would be enough profes- sional and public buying of the stock to send it up, thus enabling Morse to unload at a prat. An eeample of Morse's popularity was illustrated in a scene accompany- ing, the opening of subscriptions for stock in a coal mining company or- ganied by him. The day the subscrip- tion book was opened people flocked to the office and fought with each other in their efforts to enter and get their names recorded. One man who lead subscribed for a large amount of this stock, after getting away from the crowd, came back and, walking up to Mr. lllorse, said. "I say, Mr. Morse, was that gold or coal stock I sub- scribed for?"-Moody's Magazine. BIRDS AS SCOUTS. A Gypsy's Warning Before the Battle of Sadowa. During the night, July 2-3, before the battle of Sadowa, a division command- ed by the archduke, retreatiug before the Prussian army, bad bivouacked near a town in Bohemia facing north. At Midnight the archduke, when resting in a peasant's cottage, was awakened by the arrival of a gypsy, who insisted on seeing him personally, baying come to report the advance of the enemy. The archduke, who spoke Romany fluently, asked: "How do you know? Our outposts have not' reported any movement." ."That, your highness, is because the enemy is still some way off." "Then how do you know?" The gypsy, pointing to the dark sky lighted by the moon, observed, "You see those birds fiyenje over the woods from north to south?" "Yes. What of them?" "Those birds do not fly by night un- less disturbed; and the direction of their sight indicates that the enemy is coming this way," The arcbciuke put bis division under grans and re -enforced the outposts. R-hich in two hours' time were heav- ily attacked. -Field Marshal Sir Eve- [yn Wood in London Saturday Gazette. Some Prophecies Fulfilled. Long before his name was known outside his native country Oliver Crom- 1ceIl was making one of his rambling speeches in the house of commons. Lord Digby asked Hampton who he was, and Hampton replied, "If ever tTC should come to a breach with the !ing, that sloven will be the greatest man in England:" .Never was any prophecy more completely fulfilled !ban this. Almost equally remarkable in its vay was Disraeli's prophecy, "But a time will come when you will bear me," made when nothing appeared more unlikely than the brilliant series of triumphs which fulfilled it. Another instance of a quickly fulfilled prophecy was furnished by Pope Pius VII. when he was told of Napoleon's escape from Elba. "Don't worry about t," he said; "it is a storm that will be over in three months." The story of he hundred days proved his holiness o be right to a few hours. He Got None. "What's a pun, father?"
