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.

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

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.

John Macdonald was declared elected
by acclamation for South Winnipeg at
oue o'elock this 'afternoon by the re-
turning officer, Mr. Alex. 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. Ex-Preinier Greenway ad-
mits he has been offered a senatorghip,
but says he intends to remain io-Mani-
toba politics. The recount of the bal-
lots in the "Winnipeg by-election for
the Dominion House began .at 10
o'clock this morning before :ledge.
Walker at the court house. There
are some five thousand ballots to count
and it is expected that the work will
take at least two days.

The "horror of anything- we dread
lies largely in forebodings; the attei-
tiou of reality forms a callous and ,we
become early reconciled to unforeseen
calamity. We never realize : how
much we are capable of enduring until
the test comes.
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? During the process
of attainment we must say to our-
selves, In seeking my ideal I will
work toward it as best 1 edn, heeding
not the lapses, and without reference
to hours.
Paradoxical as it may seem, the more
tender memories of the average ease
of so-called love are best preserved be-
fore the marriage vows have been
spoken. Many an early love affair
which has been nipped in the bud haS
left a certain glamorous fragrance that
would have been dislielled had the us-
ual course been pursued; ,and so many
a girl has pined ifi the delnsion of
what might have be.en, little knowing
that she had been the reeipient of a
blessing in disguise.
