York County Council asks the ,On- tario Government to appoint a Qom- . mission to control Olectrie railways operating in the Province. **At A beet sugar factory is likely to be located in either Welland or Heidi - maw). counties, Oa. A professor of the Ontario Agriculttiria College, Guelph, has stated that in one town- ship in Welland county ,there are over 50,000 acres of land admirably adapted to the growth of sugar beets. The es tab- lishment of such a plant would net the farmers of the vicinity some $40.- 000 reterns annuallv. An armoucement is made by the wholesalers of an advance of 20 cents per keg on wire nails,. which now will sell at $3.50. Galvanized and plain wire went up from ten to fifteen per cent. on Jan. 4th, while white lead went up to the tune of 87 per cent. per hun- dredweight. And turpentine has gone up 5 cents a gallon. The end is not yet in sight, judging by the tone of the commamications received. ph% Looking over the criminal statistics of the five penitentiaries in Canada for '98 the following is the religious classification of the convicts: Roman Catholics, 723; Church of England, 276; Methodists, 192; Presbyterians, . 120; Baptists, 81; others 51. According to nationality there were Canadians. 1,- 049; Americans, (U.S.A.) 131; English, 126; Irish, 56; Scots, 30; others, 64; Porridge and the Shorter Catechism are not food to be sneered at after this. 'a* The Treasury Department at Wash- ington has jost published a statement showing how the United States debt stood on December 31,1899. According to this statement the interest bearing debt is $1,026,772,320, and the non -in. terest bearing debt is $391,123,140, tnaking the total gross bebt $1,417,895,- 160. The cash in the Treasury, after deducting the out sta,nding gold and silver certificates, treasury notes, and other liabilities, is 8283.595,453, leaving the total net debt $1,134,300,007. * DOCK -TAILED HORSES. Men and women who love the horse will be glad to know that the cruel fashion of the dock -tailed horse is pas- sing, even if it has not already passed. Society made it a fad, but when the public cab horses and livery turnouts appeared so numerously with horses with mutilated tails society frowned °nit, and has now gone in for the long-tailed horse, having discovered a beauty in Nature's adornment of their faithful friend that they had not be- fore discerned. Dock -tailed horses are too numerous on delivery and express wagons now to permit the leaders of fashion to continue driving such ani- mals. They are too common.—New York Times. Mrs. Ellen Crosby, of English, Ind., fell on the ice Jan. 3rd and sustained injuries that were pronounced fatal. Brain fever ensued,followed by collapse and apparent death. Preparations were made for the funeral. A daugh- ter of Mrs. Crosby dreamed a few evenings later that her mother was appealing to her. After she awoke the impression was so strong that 1, a mother was alive that she would not allow funeral arrangements to proceed. For eight hours the daughter sat be- side the body, when suddenly Mrs. Crosby spoke and attempted to get up. She declared she had tried to tell the -undertaker and attendan ts that she was still alive, but could not , make them hear. Failhig in this she thought she shouted to her daughter, although no sound Was heard, her body being cold and apparently lifeless. The daughter however, started from her sleep. and rushed to the supposed corpse. * John O. Morrison, ofMcKillop, writ- ing to the Seaforth Expositor, writes as follows •of the extravagance and doubtful utility of expenditure of the Dominion Government:—I have just received the report of the Dominion Auditor General few the year 1899. I would like to call the attention of the members for Huron to some of the ex- penditures of last session. The items are worse and less defensible than in Tory times. For example, the Sena- tors got eighey-four gold pencils, at a cost of $581; eighty-four pairs of scis- sors, at a cost of $112; ninety trunks, at a cost,of $25 each, to carry home $1.947 worth of stationery., also mileage to the amount of $9,200.80. So much for the Senate, now for the House of ()minions. The members of the Com- mons drew mileage to the amount of $19,545; they got 497 pearl handled poc- ket knives, at a cost of $497; 367 buck horn pocket knives at a cost of $::).)4; cards and card cases costing $291; lie trunks for members, at $22 each, amounting to $1,298, also about $100 worth of paper for each member. I also notice that of one kind of lead pencils 560 dozen, or three dozen for each member, was furnished. There are also four pocket knives for each member. The county pays nearly ,$30,000 yearly for menabers' mileage and then pays.the railway eompames for carrying all the members and their • families on passes as dead -heads. It is certain that the railway companies do • not give this service for nothing, but get the cost of these so-called free pass- es out of the people. If the Mechanics' Institute in Seaforth will accept the offer, I will leave the Auditor General's Report from Which I make the above quotations also the report of Trade and Commerce, On their tables, so that the members of the Inetitute and others can see for themselves how nicely their members of Parliament O live at their expense. • WorlCirs' OhamPion Heger. teied Inany reznedieS to cure iles," writes Wr.

Haggart, there being 110 other notninations for the vacant seat. Hon. Dr. McFadden was also returned to the Local Legis- lature by acclamation, The support- ers of Mr. GreenWay are about as scarce as mosquitoes in winter time. It is generally recognized that Mr. Green- way and his Cabinet were simply pli- able tools in the heads of CliffoisleSif- ton, and the offers of, Senatorship to Watson and Greenway is simply the payment by Sifton for attempt:On the part of these discredited leaders for their efforts to carry out the Wishes of the Caimdian Pacific RailwayMani- toba. The Deloraine Times and Melita Enterprise, both Liberal newspapers, are out denouncing Mr. Greenaway's methods. The plain fact is thaNthe Greenway party is now wholly diet-, organized.

DEAR Sia;—Tiuder instruction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture an- other description of sample packages of the best and most productive sorts of cereals,ete., isnow being made from the Central Experhnental Farm, Ot- tawa. The distribution will consist, as heretofore, of samples 'of oats, spring wheat, barley, field Peas, Indian corn and potatoes. Each sample weighs three pounds. The quality of the seed will be of the best, the rari- ties true to name and the packages will be sent free t,o applicants, through the mail. • The object in view is the improvement of the character and quality of the grain, etc., grown in in Canada, an effort widely appreciat- ed, and the choice of varieties to be sent out will be confined to those which have been found to succeed well at the Experimental Farms. These samples will be sent onlyeto those who apply personally, lists of: names from societies or individuals cannot be con- sidered. Only one sample of one sort can be sent to .each •applicant, hence if in individual receives a sample of oats he. carinot also receive one of wheat or barley.. Applications should . be addressed.to the Director of Expert- , mental Farms, Ottawa, and may be sent at any time' before the 15th of March, after which date the lists will be closed, so that samples asked for • may be sent out in good time for. sow - me.

Even the most humble appeariug people have quite a moentain of self- esteem somewhere down deep ill their natures; and frequently the only dif- ference between the conceited and many who impress us as being modest lies in the fact that the latter choose to cloak their vanity. Our present moods are poor indica- tors of our future conduct; we can never calculate with any degree of certitude what we would or would not do under certain conditions; we be- come desperate in times of adversity and commit acts which at other mor ments would seem rash ancl unreason- able. In order to win we must learn to be- gin over and over. Need we throw the 'whole chain away because we lack sufficient heart to mend and replace the broken links?
