The lumber traffic is dull, the indica- tions of increased activity at the begin.- ning of the season have not so far mate- rialized. Many of our large firms report, less cutting geeing on in the woods than last year, owing to the large stocks of lumber on hand. The United States Postmaster -General - reports a deficit of $9,243,935 in his de - pertinent for the current year. He does not favor the taking over the telegraphs of the country 'by. the Government, urg- ing against it the enormous expense that would be entailed., and. citing the fact that in England their operation involves a, loss of $2,000,000 a wax. Wheat markets are dull, with very lit- tle trading, Cables weak. In the United States and Canada the stocks in store in- creased over 2,000,000 bushels last week, and. the amount afloat in Muses increas- ed 1,256,000 bushels. Manitoba hard wheat, however, is in good. demand, sell- ing at 75 cents, west for No. 1 hard. By mail received from Yokohama, in. - formation comes that all the tea houses in Japan have signed a circular stating that in con.sequenee of eenhanced cost of labor and tea -packing material, they find it necessary to increase firing charges 60 cents per pecul, and should the war centime a still further increase may be- come necessary. No very definite inforraation regarding details of the suspension in St. johns, Nfld., can be obtained the arrival of a steamer here with mails, which may not be for a few days. So far all information receeved has been. tlarough telegraphic despatches. The Commercial and Ilmon 13a,nks of Newfoundland have suspended, but it is supposed that in the case of the latter at least the stoppege will be but temporary and that rtrrangements will be made to continue besiness. At the sale of seal l skins in London, Eng- last week, there /were sold 128,470 Northwest Coast skin, 16,030 from Alaska, 27,300 from Copeper Island, and 16,930 from the Lobos Islalnds. The con- dition of the skins whieh were offered was not ftrsteclass. Thge opening demand was directed exclusiv ly to Northwest Coast skins, which derilined 20 to 25 per -cent., at wkieh flgteies the competition was aetive. Th( collection of A.laska, skins brought t e usual prices. Copper Island and. Eoos skins sold at a decline .of 13 to 20 p cent. A. reel) test at Schnectedy, N.Y., se- -cording to the Electrical Age, showed that aj1 eleetrie locomotive can pull a ,• stea locomotive—advantage of condi. 'dein. being all in favor of the latter—with ease and. without apparent effort. The improvement since the World's Fair test have done this. Next in importance te the Baltimore and Ohio tunnel electric motor work, which is being pnshed rapid- ly to completion, is the use of these elec- tric motors on the Metropolitan Railroad of Chicago, which will soon be in opera- tion. Many railroad. managers are watch- ing this test with a view to adoption. It is now expected that electric motors will be sold to locomotive builders as head- lights are sold, which would enable any of the large builders to construct accord - mg to their own designs. Electric motors are being rapidly sirnplified to that end. 'Ore and There.

In this, I think, ought to be found. the keynote and the chief charm. and beauty of the time-honored custom of Christmas giving. Because on this day the greatest gift in the world's history became ours, we in turn, should not only give cheer- fully and freely, but as lavishly as our raeans will admit. More care should be taken in the bestowing than the selection of our gifts. Better give a cup of cold water and a kind word to the needy and deserving .one on Christmas morning than gold. and jewels to those who have plenty the whole year.

Yet out of this could be gathered enough material for an essay. which might be headed, "The Evil of Giving." To give because someone else gives, to attempt to outdo one's friend, or neighbor during this holy season, has nothing to do with char- ity or the spirit of thanidulness. • Under such conditions, the offerings become a vulgar show, a shallow mocking of a sa- cred mission. On the other hand, the good of giving comes when the heart is attune to the blessings of the season, when self is forgotten, and the gifts, no matter how small or insignificant, are bestowed cheerfully, heartily, and in such a spirit as befits the season which. we commemo- rate.

I could not wear my boots for weeks. At last I got a bottle of Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil and resolved. to try it, and to my astonishment I got almost instant relief, and the one bottle accom- plished a perfect cure." A Christmas in Paris. Opposite the church of St. Eustache is the ereat market of the Halles, which furnished the worst of the horrible mob of fishwomen, who, one hiutdred years ago,. swarmed Versailles to tear the queen to pieces. On Christmas eve their lineal and commercial successors, the present "dames des Hallos," raised among them- selves a handsome subscription and fur- nished a &resat tree for the half-starved poor of that quarter. The lower branches were loaded with toys and good things for the children, the upper with legs of 'mutton, bottles of wine, warm clothes and all sorts of comforts from their well - stocked stalls; illuminated by candles and encircling bonfires. Around. this tree was held a peat reveillon—the best attended. in all Paris, needless to say— which lasted from midnight until 4 o'clock Christmas day. The generous women. who had prepared the tree did not go home at all, but opened their stalls, rubbed their eyes and made ready for 'business.

Not 50 Funny, After All. The misfortunes of others are filled with irresistible humor in many oases, particu- larly in the more trifling acts of every day. To see a man sit on his own stiff hat is relished with keen. enjoyment by every other man in sight. If another man finds that the crash has come in reality to his own headgear after laugh- ing wildly at the supposed hard luck of his friend, then the situation. is a thous- and times funnier. A young man with this human trait strongly developed swung down Yonge street at a sharp pace. He carried his mackintosh flung over his arm. At the crossing of King street there was a rattle of coin and a shower of nickels and dimes rained on the pavement from some un- known region. No one was more aston- ished than the young man, and he stopped with great interest and watched passers eye the scattered currency askance and then shyly, as in fear of a trick. Finally all of the pieces had been picked up by small boys and other sensible pedestrians, and still there was no trace of the source. The em-ious young man enjoyed the inci- dent a.nd the study of human nature that it afforded, and had got about two blocks farther on his way when his face length- ened instantly as he exclaimed : 'By Jovethat change fell out of my mackin- tosh pocket !"

GEMS OF GREAT VALUE. We Hay Not be Able to See Them, But the Next Best Thing is to Read of Them. We are often. regaled with stories of fabulous prices paid for gems—pearls or diamonds. A necklace owned by Baroness Gustave de Rothschild, made of rows, is valued at $200,000. Another, owned by Baroness Adolphe de Rothschild, is even valued at a higher figure. The Empress of Russia has a necklace also valued at 90,000 rubles. One belonging to the Grand Duchess Marie has six rows of pearls, and is said to have cost $190,000. • Mlle. Dosne, a, sister of M. Thiers, has a neck- lace of several rows, which has taken her several years to collect, and has cost her upwards of $75,000. The Empress of Austria possesses some of the most beauti- ful black pearls it is possible to find; her easket and that of the Czarina of Russia are, in fact, the most famous in the world for pearls of this color. Mme. Leonide Leblanc sole her necklace of pearls a year or two ago for nearly $200,000, but in consequence of certain matters which were whispered about at the time she bought it back. The stones graduate itt size, and are exceedingly beautiful in shape and color. The Imam of Muscat possesses a pearl weighing 121-2 karats, through which you can see daylight. It is worth about $165,000. The one owned by Princess Yousoueoff is unique for beauty. It was sold by Geer -gibes of Calais in 1620 to Philip IV. of Spain for 80,000 ducats. Its present value is about $180,000. The Pope, on his accession., became the owner for tbe time being of a pearl, left by one of his predecessors upon the throne of the Vaticia,n , which cannot be of less value than $100,000. The Empress Frederick has a necklace composed of thirty-two pearls, the total value of which has been estimated at $1.75,000. Her xnother, Queen Victoria has a necklace of pink pearls worth $80,000. • Bickle'sAnti-Consumptive Syrup stands at the head of the list for all diseases) of the throat and lungs.
