It will appear to the average voter that the Grad Trunk, having lin:Weed the government to build $151,000,000 worth of the new transcontluental railway, while the compauy pays for only $14,500,000 Worth of it, would haye been satisfied. Bat, not se. In addition to the concessions set forth, the Grand Trunk drove the govern- ment into ex. arrangement whereby the country, at the end of the com- pany's fifty year lease, will be compel- led to take over such non paying branches as the company may elect to dispose of. Bat the goverument, in addition to assenting to such generous terms for the company, have stipulated that, at the end of the lease, the Grand Trunk shall have running rights for kt ftlrther period of fifty years over the Eastern division, That ineaos that the Grand Tran'k wili be in a position to compete ,with the govermaient over a line built excluaively by the people. But this section of the road extends only to Winnipeg, and will include only such feeders as the Grand Trunk will have found to be unprofitable. The Grand Trunk on the other hand will hold the Western section and all the paying branches, On none of these will the government have a right to run its trains. Why should the Grand Trunk get running rights on the government section, whilst the latter is to be shut out from the company's territory? A queer arrangement, indeed, telt this is the sebeme to which Canada has been committed. NOTES AND COMMENTS The census of India for 1901 shows that the growth of Christianity has been comparatively far more rapid than the growth of the general goon- lation. In 1872 the Chrisatians in Incite numbered 1.506,098, of whom 1.246,288 were natives. In 1901 the Christians nnnabered 2,928,241, of whom 2,664,313 were natives. Of the latter uninber two-fifths were Catholics. * The byleve, guaranteeing the boucle for $10,000 for the (lbarch & Watt Co, St.Marys, for twenty years and ex - motto') frein taxation, was earned on Friday by Omit thirty of a majority, " * Joseph Chamberlain's speech at i3ie- nringhem last week, bears no trace of the mental or nervous weakness his Opponents have been ascribing to him. Oa the other band it was full of vigor and buoyancy, and was a source of satisfaction td the friends of his cause„ While, no doebt, it was an eye- opener to those who thought thatfis. oal reform was a dead.issue. The Free - Traders thought that, because opinion was coming their way while the Hon. Joseph was in Egypt, their work had been accomplished, but, they will find that he will give there no time to rest ou their oars now that he is back and in good health. The wrecking. of $6,000,000 worth of 'docks and piers belonging to Russia at Delay, by the Russians themselves so as to prevent the expected Jap landing, was to say the least a sign of weakness on the part of the Russians. The des- truction of the docks is a certain ac- knowledgement by Kuropatkirt that he cannot keep the Japs out, and that he expects to have no further use of Dalny, because he despairs of ever .driving the Mikado's army lute the sea, * Igtiorence of the Postal Rates causes considerable annoyance as well as money loss to people receiviog letters which are short paid at the titue of mailing. It should be remembered that Se recepient has to pay double or more to take a letter from the office than it would cost the sender to mail it properly. Two cents will pay tbe postage on a letter weighing net more than one ounce, addressed to any place in Canada or tlie .Uuited. States, The rate to the UnitedKingdom and certain Britiah possessions is two cents per half mince, and to foreign countries generally five cents per half ounce, or fraction thereof. Information regard- ing rates may be obtained at any of the Post Offices. Usborne Council. Council met May 7. All present. Minutes of last meeting mad and ap- proved.

Ab- bott, of this place, betook himself to Ilderton on a very pleasant and inter- esting mission, it being his removal from single blessedness to that of the happy married state. The young lady of his choice is a very popular and es- timable resident of Ilderton, in the person of Miss Annie Seeds. The mar- riage took place at the home of Squire Patrick, the ceremony being perform- ed by the Rev. Orme, in the presence of only a few invited guests. The bride received a number of handsome pres- ents. A very pleasing incident and one that had been kept a secret .from the recipient, was the presentation of a beautiful clock from the members and choir of Grace church, of which Miss Seed had been a valued member for some time. As the groom is widely known and highly esteemed in this lo- cality his many friends join in wish- ing himself and bride a life of peace and happiness. * Canada's aggregate foreign trade, comprising iinports for consumption and exports, both foreign and domes- tic produce, amounted for the ten months ending April 30, to $374,503,541, which compared with the same period of the year previous shows a better-. rnent of $13,177,066. The increase is in imports,ffor in every branch of our experts, except mining products, there was a falling off. Perhaps the lateness of navigatioiris responsible for busi- ness diminution, causing shipments to be nyuch later than they were in the same season of 1903. * • •NN, Fullarton Mach s rapathY is expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Vial, Walters, wbo are sadly bereaved owing to the death of their one month old babe, the sad, event tak- ing place on May 11. -Mr. jos. laolph has sold his 45 acre term to Mr. Relit.

Her appearance and actions attracted quite a crowd, but one of the citizens humanely induced het. to accompany him to the council roona, where she Was handed over to Constable Dowling, After being there a short time the unfortenate creature became a raving maniac, and her lond talking could be heard blocks away. Her husband and a constable removed her to the London Asylum next day. "If the news about much winter -kill- ing of fall wheat in southwestern Ont- ario be somewhat dampening to the spirits, nothing of the kind character- izes the news from Manitoba and the Northwest. Our telegram of Friday noon from Winnipeg states that rep- orts obtained from 125 different points thruout the western prairie coautry indicate that the increased area under crop will be 12 per cent. None report any falling off, increases being from same as last year to 200 per cent. great- er. Seeding is practically completed and the weather considered more fav- orable. In several districts it is already well sprouted and beginning to show above ground.

Hay DEATH. -After a long and painful illness, Mrs. Robert Thompson, near Kippen, passed peacefully away to her rest on Thursday, May.5. Mrs. Thoreip- son's illness was caused by a -complica- tion of diseases which seemed to baffle the best medical skill and the most at- teotive nursing and she was, at times; it severe sufferer, but she bore her at- fliction with commendable patience and was one of the most uncomplain- ing of iudividuals. She was but 53 years of age, and although surrounded by almost everything calculated tb. make life enjoyable and had the most happy of homes, she never repined but was ever cheerful and was fully re- signed to the will of her Divine Mas- ter, whom she implicitly trusted and whom she had faithfully served in the days of her health and strength. Mrs. Thompson's maiden name was Jane Moodie. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. Jas. Moodie, of Stanley, where she was born. She was married to her bereaved husband 16 years ago. She leaves to mourn the affection of a mother's love a family of two daugh- ters. She is also survived by her aged parents, one hrother and three sisters. Early in life she became a member of St. Andrew's church, Kippen, and while her health premitted she was always active in every work connected with that organization. She will be missed in the chnrchand the neighbor- hood as well as in the home. Deceased was one of the most amiable and kind- ly of women and to know her Was to esteem her. Her early death'is nniver- sally regretted while to the bereaved husband and family the loss will be ir- reparable and such as few can proper- ly appreciate. although all can sympa- thize.

We re- fer to the death of Mrs. Golding, Sr, whieh sad event took place on Sunday, May 8, at the good old age of 84 years. Mrs. Golding had been rather poorly for some time but the iinniedbite cause of death was the infirmities of old age.

Young women may avoid much sickness and pain, says Miss Alma Pratt, if they will only have faith in the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Zompound. Judging from the letters she is •e‘miving from so many young girls, Ir s.

Nothing is allowed to interfere with tildies, the girl must be pushed to the ,rout and graduated with honor; often ahysical eollapse follows, and ittakes years to recover the lost vitality, - of ten it is never recovered.
