THE EXETER ADVOCATE, " THLTRSDAY, DEO, 19, 1895, The Weeks COMInerelai summary. r The Canadian Bank of Commerce has elosed its branoli at Aliso, Craig. The receipts of hogs are liberal at all points throughout Ontario, whieli ace vaunts for the low prices. The earnings of the Canadian Pacifio or the last week of November were $588,- 000, sin inerease of $46,000. During the past week the stooks of fell and, spring wheat, barley and. oats show considerable increase. Tlae hay market continues remarkably -strong. Sales are being made on track vt Toronto at $14.25 to $14.50 for No, 1. Straw is also higher at $8.25 to $8.75. The stocks of wheat at Port Arthur and. Port 'William are 1,479.922 bushels, as compared with 2,052,558 bushels last week., and 887,616 bushels at the corres- ponding date of last year. . The Toronto Railway Company on Monday deelared a dividend. of 1 8-4 per tent., making 8 1-2 per cent. for the year. The net earnings for October are $10,156, as against $44,104 in October of 1894.

In Yozmorith County, Nova Scotia, about 4,000 acres of blueberry bushes were recently sold for a total price of $1,000. The annual yield is now about $82,000.

There was a slight increase in the num- ber of failures in the Dominion last -week, being 47, as compared with 44 the week before, and 86 in the same week of a year ago. There were 20 in Ontario, 15 of which had our lowest credit or blank rating. Quebec had. 19, none of which were of any commercial import - ;Ince. Nova Scotia had five, Manitoba and British Columbia one each. There is scarcelyany change and little of special interei st n the trade situation throughout the United States as reported by the two leading commercial agencies from New York. In most lines stocks are spoken of as being unusually large, and prices difficult to maintain or lower, and no thane() of consequence will occur now -until after the Christmas vacation. Still, factories are kept goine.wholly or in. part better than was expected -would be the ease a.few weeks back. The opening of Congress has had. no perceptible effect on business. Makers of woollen goods are not very active, and. dry g00% are in. lighter demand. Iron and its products are lower. Copper and tin are also weaker. The shipments of boots and shoes have considerably increased, and orders are plentiful, but prices low. Leather and. hides have both deelined somewhat during the week. In the United. States the cointnereial failures for the week were 824, against 385 for the corresponding week last year, and in Canada 52, against 40 a year ago.

He stated further that his pride kept him from tak- ing the cure. A few hours afterwards we receiyed a visit from a resident of Toronto, who was cured at Lakeb.urst In- stitute, Oakville, nearly four years ago, and we asked him his views. He toldus that he once felt similarly apprehensive, but very soon found that for every friend he had, before he took the cure' he had ten afterwards. It was his especial pride that he hadhad manliness enough left to take the cure, and wonders that he could ever have preferred to be a drunkard to being: a sober man, even though to be so he might forfeit the good opinion of some of his acquaintances. "Now," he says, 'the only men who think the worse of me for the step I took are men who ought to go to Oakville themselves for their own good."

Dr. Berthold Beer advocates the fol. lowing method of artificial respiration: The mucous membrane of the lips and of the mouth is rubbed slowly with a piece of ice, the rhythm of the motion corresponding as nearly as possible to that of normal respiration. Dr. Beer bas noticed that tbe inevitable result of the treatment was the return of respira- tion, at first in a very pronounced form, but becoming, on the continued applica- tion of the ice, very regular, quiet and deep. Ice used ,.,in this way has also a general sedative effect, and its quieting action has been successfully turned to account in the treatment of cerebral troubles. Dr. Foges, of Vienna, has' obtained equally favorable results with this treatment in cases of asphyxia. It is very much to the advantage of this method that it may be employed for several hours at a time, and is harmless for the patient and easy for the physi- cian. with tbe under Dog.

The Highest Expression. The highest expression of religious faith Is not petition. Prayer may be selfish- ness, the expression of a desire for what is for one's own advantage, without regard to whether 15 is for the advantage of others or for the honor of Ged. Indeed, people are apt' to pray more earnestly for tempor- al blessings or to escape from temporal Ills than for anything else. A man will pray for money or for the life of some friend, eImply for his own comfort and enjoyment, and often with an earnestness or even agony that he would not feel if praying for any spiritual blessing or for the largest advancement of Christ's king- dom. We are told that we may pray for our daily bread.; but yoe are told first to pray "Thy kingdom come," and before we ask that we are to make aoknovvIedg. numb to God as our Father in Heaven. There is much less danger of selfishness in the utterance of gratitude than there is in petition. There is in it a much simpler and riser° unmixed eecognition of God; there is an aeceptance of His providence, e gladnese in sellable teIlim.
