It is a phenomenal fact that notwith- standing the recent commercial de- pression both in England and the 'Inked States, and in Australia as well tire figures of Canadian trade and com- mence for the last ten months show a substantial increase of exports.. The reported increase over the correspond - Ing period of the previous year foots 'yep the handsome suin of $1,661,568. This means a large and increasing trade of Canada with other countries— and it means just so much extra capi tat, or its corresponding value, brought into thiscountry. We observe also by :recent exchanges from Ottawa that by ii report laid on the table of the House of Commons there was deposited in the government Savings Banks no less an anlouut than $16383,576—in sums yarying from $500 and under up to $1000 for each depositor. Whoa we consider that a very largo amount of those sixteen or seventeen million dol- lers are the savings of the industrial classes, we think the croakings of the pessimists are quite out of all reason, Canada to -day is one of the most pros- perous countries in the world. THE QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY. Great national events are very properly kept in mind by public con- sent. Our Yankee cousin keeps his Fourth of July with bon -fires, fire- crackers, orations and a general big time, in remembrance of their attain- ing independence as a people. Cana cdiaes celebrate July 1st, as an event in our history, when the scattered provinces of this fair country united into one great Dominion, whose people were always free, and who resources are vast and possibilities for greatness immense. But British subjects every- where commemorate Her Majesty's birthday, May 24th, in happy, thankful remembrance that on that day was born one, who for fifty-seven years has sat on England's throne, a model queen, a wife and mother. Not only revered and loved by her subjects be- cause of her exalted position, but for her personal a'oociness and nobility of character. Who, when informed of her call to England's throne, conscious of the great and weighty responsibilities which had devolved upon her, sank on her knees and invoked Divine aid from the King of kings, who kind Proyidence has spared her life to a lov- ing, kind people these fifty seven years and in this year of 1894, after au eventful reign, the British heart ev erywhere sings out "God save our Queen. " THE JE Wb'. Nothing in history.is so remarkable as that of Israel among the nations. Their continued national existence as a seperate people is a standing miracle evidential of the truth of Christianity. When asked by a Prussian monarch, Frederick the great, to give him the shortest argument in support of the veracity of the Bible, the King's chap. bun made answer: "Please your ma- jesty, the Jews." They have always been a persecuted people, more or less; and the latest phase of religious intoler- ance, in which Russia has been the ag- gressor, is one of the stra]igest develop- raents of this enlightened nineteeth century. Various elements have united in fomenting this persecution of tie Jews, viz: religions intolerance, an =elusive spirit of nationality, and the keenness of mercantile competition. Which of these causes has had most to do in the Russian persecution of the Jewish people, it is hard to say. Such has been the effect of continuous per :rods of persecution to which they have :or ages been subjected, that it has tended to ' perpetuate their separate existence as a people and served as a moral disipline in the deyelopment of national character. It is wonderful to think how much they have suffered at the hands of the Roman Catholic Church and more recently from the Greek Church, in order to maintain their na- tional distinctiveness and their religious traditions. Nothing is more remark- able among the decendants of Abra- ham than the physical characteristics of the race. This is owing largely to their strict observance of the Levitical code, which in a high degree is hygien- ic—and anticipates some of the modern dieeoveries of physiology. Their man - mer of living', their notions about the cttulc.tity of marriages, their regard for s omestie yirtuos, their comparative st eedom from habits of intoxication, all said in contributing to longevity as compared with other nations. And their moral as well as their physicial characteristics afford proof of their high status. in the scale of hu. inanity. No race of people has main- tained its faith with more devotion and undaunted courage than the Jews, This fact has had its disadvantages as well es its advantages, It has tended to make them strenuously opposed to ehristian influence while it has made them shrewd and even overreach- ing in commercial transactions. All this has exposed them as a people to unpopularity and even to positive dislike by other nations. 'Yet in the face of persecution and popular dislike the Jewish race has produeed many remarkable mei: in various walks of life—such as statesmen, financiers,and philoolgists,not to speak of great attain- ments in the fine arts. We need only mention such names as D'Israeli, and Moutefiore, and Mendelssohn, and Ru- benstein, and many others who have shewn an intellectual ability in differ ent professions far exceeding the aver- age of other men. That the Jews as a people are undergoing modifying changes in their religious ideas seems unquestionable—some passim; into complete religious indifference, while others are becoming more open to Christian influence and missionary ef- forts. Thousands of them are now flocking to Palestine in search of civil and religious liberty, where they are coining into contact with modern mis- sions; and by means of ehristian church- es, schools and hospitals, they aro being gradually leavened with modern ideas and with New Testament teachings They still look upon Palestine as the land of promise, and cherish the dream of its once more becoming a Jewish state. The problem of the east and of Turkish rule remains yet to be solved and the triple alliance may ore long contribute its part in fulfilling the des- tiny of Asia Minor ;—at all events, the changes now going on the building of railways through Palestine, and hi its being re peopled by Jews—more than 100,000 of whom have taken posses- sion of that ancient heritage in a few years—all go to prove that some great future is in store for the Holy Laud and for the decendants of its original possessors, the Jews. The Wool Situation. Mr. John Hallam has issued the fol lowing trade circular: Witli reference to the prospects of the coming clip of wool and the prices to be realized, there is nothing definitely known. The delay at Ottawa in settling the tariff on woollen goods has created an industrial uncertainty and a want of confidence in the future of the trade The proposed change in the tariff from compound to purely ad valorem duties will seriously embarass the tweed, blanket and yarn manufactories. They will not be able co successfully com- pete with the shoddy goods of Hudders- field and Dewsbury under the proposed change unless the Government take the duty off coal, machinery and other articles now taxed and used as raw material. This is having a very de - depressing effect on the price of our domestic wools and on the wool trade in general. Home competition has re- duced the price of Canadian tweeds, blankets and yarns to the lowest possi- ble point, and if the Canadian mills are subjected to the keen competition of these goods under an ad valorem duty with England, France and Ger. many, where machinery and all raw materials are free of duty, it simply' means shutting up some of the mills in this country. In my opinion, this change in the tariff will only benefit the importing and ready made cloth- ing trade. The passing o& the Wilson bill will not affect the prices of Cana- dian wools, as the domestic wools of the United States are now as low, if not lower, than in Canada, but, not- withstanding this, I am afraid there will be some speculation that may raise the price of our domestic wool beyond their present values, relying on the expectation that when the present du ties are taken off in the United States the price will rise. The Americans are not changing their tariff on wools to give the Canadian wool grower more money for their clip, but simply to give the manufacturers of the Unit ed States free wool at the lowest possi- ble price in competition with Eng- lish and foreign wool markets, and if the dealers and manufacturers through the country can only realize this fact, the clip of 1894 will be bought at fully 10 to 15 per cent than in 1893, s Moat of the elip in 1893 is still in the hands of dealers and unsold, During the last twelve months large quantities of wool and sheep skins, the product of. the United States, have found their way into Canada at prices much lower than our domestic wools and sheep- skins could be sold for here. I would advise caution in buying the Canadian clip, as no money has been made out of Canadian wool for threeor four years past, Clinton It is a matter for extreme regret, says the Clinton News Record, to many that the proposed basis of un- ion between the two town Methodist churches here received a setback last Wednesday evening. The total vote was 75 for and 118 against. There was a majority a mal nst in eathof the three churches.t Ila tenh uiiyr 44 for and 58 against; Ontario, 28 for and 37 against; Turners, 3 for and 23 against. Farquhar.

Like a Miracle in Very Low Condition With Consumption Physicians Saki She Was In- curable Wonderfecl Results From. Taking Stud's Sarsaparilla.. Miss Hannah. Wyatt Toronto, Ont. "Four years ago while in tiro old country England ), my daughter Hannah was sent away from the hospital, as the doctors there could de nothing to help her, and said she would neve: be any better. She was in a very low condition with consumption of the lungs and bowels, and weak action of the heart. The trip across the water to this country seemed to make her feel better for a while. Then she began to get worse, and for 15 weeks she was unable to get off the bed. She grew worse for five months anis Lost the Use of Her Limbs and lower part of body, and if she sat up in bed had to bo propped up with pillows. She would go ten clays without a movement of the bowels. A11 medicine seemed to do her no good. She would have spells when her Heart would pain her, and then, with the outside door open in mid -winter, would faint away. Physicians, after holding a consultation, Said She Was Past All Help and wanted me to send her to the 'Home for Incurables.' But I said as long as I could hold my hand up she should not go, and about this time a kind neighbor came in and asked mo to get a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla and try it. We did so and she has taken the medicine regularly. She is getting strong, walks around, 1s out doors every day; has no trouble with her throat and no cough, and her heart seems to be all right again. Slie has a first class appetite, Sat7 s."+'apt ri is gaining in flesh as well as strength, and does not look pale. Our doctor says he is glad she took Hood's Sarsaparilla as it has done so much for her. Wo regard her cure as nothing short of a miracle." W. Wrarr, 89 Marion Street, Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario.
