,jai th•.te were no less than three
init"t1red applications. The existence
f this ctr tiitinut of things has caused
tiutuereas reAeetious as to why so
many y"1:1R mon are out of employ -
meet, levi tahtly there is somethiug
r:ldi.:aly and seriously wrong. The
salary attiwht'd to this position was
not suliii•iettt•ly I.1rge to be the great
inducement to applicants. Mac11 the
snot thing ceders frequently when
vacancu s take place iu many of our
puleie eelinels. There are, no doubt,
too many young nice Of superficial
education, and guided by the lamp of
self-coliceliewho have a very erroneous
impression as to what constitutes
genteel employment. Ouviously there
are too many who have resolved to
abandon niattuai labor without any
clefiriite idea afi to what they can or
should clo. Notice the rapidly increas-
ing; number who are yearly attending
out• high schools. We do not wish it
to be inferred that we disparage edu-
eation or think that it in any way
unfits boys inr undertaking' any sort
of work. Other thug's being equal,
the best scholar makes the best farmer,
the moat ski.fnl meclianie, the most
successful 'railway official, the most would wish to impress is : That by

other hinds of work. It may In sail
that vino ohilcli'eIi manifest no ;,;envie
for, nor interest in 41ne sort of work
more than another. This does some
times occur, but not frequently, and
closer observation or a little judicious
parental stimulation might still further
lessen the number of eases. There
are some children with genius
different directions, but possessing only
small amount of concentration, #ho
develop into "jackof•all-trades." This
trait of character is early manifested
and can Le largely counteracted. The
great necessity of the age is concen-
tration of effort. It is impossible that
a man can master every branch of
knowledge in the compass of a lifetime.
It is the specialist nowadays that the
people wish to consult. If a boy has
a fondness and natu.tal adaptt►bilityfor
any sort of work he will succeed iu
that line and parents should not
prevent his undertaking it. We have
before our mind the. caseof a boy who
has a great liking and remarkably
genius f "r wooci\working and carving,
but his parents say: " No, that work`
is not suitable for you -that is, it is
not respectable .enough." Another
exhibits great artistic skill, and d at
ten or eleven years of age can draw
with a common lead pencil a picture
so as to bring out clearly the different
expressions, yet his parents say he
cannot be spared from the farm. We
could multiply inetances of this kind,
but it is needless, The truth that we

action of the Dominion Government

had iso utijection to the admission of
salt free for curing fish, but for other
purposes it should be taxed, and as
can be easily' ascertained, not cue.
fourth of the salt imported is used by
the fishermen. Tile salt manuftwtur-
ers have 1.0 pay heavy duties on 'coal,
boiler plate, and nearly everything
else vehicle. they use, while they have
to compete with free Buglish salt. 1r.
ktausford said that as everything the
salt makers use is heavily taxed, and
as the policy of the Governuaent is to
protect home industries, the salt
industry should be fairly protected.
Mr.Italhaford regrets ever investing
capital in Cenacita,; Today, if sold,

trade would be benefited by protection
against the knglish, yet he would
(ouch prefer, reciprocity with the
United States. 'The American he
considers ilte best and most natural
market.
desirable citizen. The great evil of
the present day is that, with the in-
creased knowledge comes the impres
slot& that the individual has to go into
some Profusion. to give scope to their
expanding intellects. How se''dom do
we see is boy who has spent a term or
two at Fa IILll School go beck to the
farm or the nhechanic's shop. Parents
generally realize that the professions
are overcrowded now and that it is
. only the really clever as well as
. thee-m.111y peisevering who eau make
their mark in rt profession. But what
• parent, forsooth, does not c' -early dis-
cern these essentials in their promising
children ? \Va think one of the most
gigat,tie evils of the present, time -it
,always bas been an evil, but never
attained its present proportions -is
the fact that s many are struggling
discontentedly iu callings for which
they have neither inclination nor
natural aptitude. It is generally Ad-
mitted that there is some one thing
that almost every cue can do better
than be can anything else. Some, we
readily adni t, have ability which
enables thein to do several things
equally well. i3ut this is the exceee
tines not the rule. The question of
choosing occupations and employments
for boys is one of vital impertanoe
and often one of real difficulty and
perplexity. Children very early mani-
fest preferences and likings for certain
kinde (if work which the thoughtful
and observing parent can and ought
to turn to account. One boy delights
in sailing his toy ship. Another ilh
marshalling and disciplining his. little
.army of playmates. Another in
addressing real or imaginary audiences.
Another is absorbed with hie pencil in
some simple drawing exercise, and
still another in exorcisingg his fnochani-
Cal genius itt different ways. These
1,eeuliarities in ehildren all have been
noticed, bat Teeny look upon then as
childish and insignificant. From
watching these inclinations arid dis-
positione, the natural adaptability cif
ehiidr'ent may he ascertained with
marvellous accuracy. When these are
known, parents should throw aside',
human preferences and gratify the
evident hent of the child's uhind. It
is a remarkable circumstance that in-
clividusla are to Le found with prefer-
ences ant conipleteaptitudes for every
imaginable kind of work, aua we
think if genius were not driven out of
its proper channels, often by the in-
flisoretiou of parents, there ivould not
lie a tsurp'tis of young men demanding
yoficiv.11a ikt curtain Burs, whilst th"'re
studying the dispositions and .inclina-
tions at an early awe, -=much earlier
than the utnjnrity of people imagine -
we may find out the natural bent of
the boy's mind, allot him his proper
sphere in life, and avoid much of the
confusion, dissatisfaction, discontent,
failure and overcrowding of profes-
sions now so awfully common. .

THE ONTARIO SALT INDUSTRY.
The members of the Ontario Mining:
Commission visited this county last
week and have reported lengthily on
the condition of the salt industry,
From the reports made we conclude
that no Canadian industry today is in
a more depressed or unsatisfactory
condition. This is the universal
opinion of all those engaged in this
branch. The saltie clepressicn prevails
everywhere. At Godericb, out of a
total of fifteen wells or salt blocks, as
they are culled, only -five are bt ing
worked at all, four of which produce
each annually froth 20,000 to 25,000
barrels, the remaining one front 7,000
to 10,000. There is not one that is
worked beyond one half its capacity.
M1 the manufacturers who appeared
before the conunissioners had the saute
complaints as to the treatment of the
salt industry by the Dominion Govern-
ment. The price at present ruling
for salt is 55 oelitte a barrel. The
cost of the barrel itself is about 20
cents. The principal cause of the
dullness is, according to the evidence,
the importation of salt from England.
There are annually some 2,400,000
harrele consumed in Canada. Of this
amount 2,000,000 barrels are imported
from England. It comes over as bal-
last in the steamers, and, as there is
no duty on coarse salt, it is impossible
for Canadian producers to compete
successfully. English salt can be
shipped from Montreal west for one
quarter the cost of the freight payable
on Canadian salt going from this dis-
trict to the east. The removal of the
duty on coal would assist . to some
extent, but, in the opinion of Dr.Cole-
uhan, of Seafortll, if the industry is
not to be discontinued in Canada,
either English salt mut be shut out
of the market or a new market opened
up in the States by the adoption of
Free Trade or Commercial. Union with
that country. Thtt salt front this dis-
trict is very pure, '98 per cent., and
Inanufaetnrers are confident that wltll
an open &merle= market they could
more than hold their own. Mr. Joiln
