We have just received a copy of the
statistical Year Book of Canada for
1903, which contains the greatest
array of facts and figures ever publish-
ed in Canada:within the covers of a
single volume. Comparisons and con-
trasts are drawn with regard to every
conceivable subject that has anything
to do with the progress or decline of
industries, institutions, etc., of the
country, as well as a the manage-
ment of the many departments under
the government. An immense amount
of information may be obtained from
the volume.
Take a silver dollar, let it drop on
the table and you will notice a ring.
Wear the ring yourself or give it to a
friend but send the dollar to us and
we will apply it on your subscription.
Another nice experiment consists of
taking a one dollar bill and by folding
it carefully several times and then un-
folding it you will notice in it creases.
Use the creases for your Sunday trous-
ers and send us the original bill.
When you have tried. these experi-
ments we will cheerfully put you on
to another great scheme..

a most wonderful thing.

Painful Accident.
Little Marguerite Gardiner, daugh-
ter of Mr. Moses Gardiner, Huron
street, met with an accident on Mon-
day evening last, which caused a great
deal of intense pain and suffering be-
fore assistance arrived to relieve the
little one from her agonies. It appears
she was playing around the house and
in some manner came in contact with
a darning needle which her mother
had been using and passing through
her clothing entered her back until it
had gone so as to reach the bone, be-
ing imbedded nearly two inches. In
this condition the little thing was
obliged to suffer until medical aid ar-
rived and the needle removed. She
was compelled to take her bed. and un -
lees inflammation or other complica-
tions set in she will be around again
in a few days.
Mr. S. M. Sanders attended a meet-
ing of the directors of the Farmers'
Co-operative Harvesting Machine Co.,
limited, of Toronto and Whitby, at
the latter place on Saturday. After
dinner the directors drove out into the
country where one of their new spring
steel binders was at work on the farm
of Mr. John Phyrell, and were very
much delighted with the work of the
machine. Mr. Sanders will remain at
the works for a few days to familiar-
ize himself with the details of the busi-
ness, preparatory to his taking charge
of the Company's exhibit at the Dom-
inion Exhibition, to be held at Winni-
peg froin July 25th to August 5th.
A so-called. Le Roy Vaudeville Com-
pany, corning from nobody knows
where and going to the same place,
put on a show in the Opera House on
Thursday night, July '7th. We under-
stand that there were over a dozen,
probably a score, present. Not being
present ourselves we considered it our
duty to hant up one of those who took
it in; but though we have searched
high and low, not one could he found.
Where they disappeared or whether
the idea of the dozen was only a myth
we are unable to state. Probably all
succumbed, not one surviving to tell
the tale. Such being the case we can-
not report upon the merits or demerits
of the show, but may only say that it
is doubtless of little consequence to
any one. However, one feature of
merit was the street performance of
one of their number, who rode up and
down the sidewalks for half an hour
upon a one -wheeled arrangement
which might go by the name of a mon-
ocycle, minus the handle -bars. It was
a clever feat indeed and the performer
certainly deserves credit for the man-
ner in which it was done.

a handsome rocking chair on Saturday
evening at the hands of the members
of Mr. W. W. Tannin's tailoring es-

Mr. John D. Spackman, who has
been absent from town for about two
years, further prosecuting his musical
studies under eminent professors in
Germany, returned home Monday
evening. Needless to say Mr. Spack-
man's time since bis return has been
very much absorbed in discussing with
his friends his varied experiences, the
many interesting sights of his travels
and the various phases incident to a
two years' sojourn in a foreign land.
This was practically Mr. Spackman's
first experience in travelling, he knew
nothing of the country,and landing in
a large city withi', a guide or even
a knowedge of the- language spoken
he was compelled to shift - the best
manner he could and it goes without
saying that his first experiences would
not be of an enviable nature. Mr.
Spackman promises us a letter for our

The Manner of Receiving.
In her charming series of sketches
that.are appearing in The Delineator
under the title "The Joy of Living,"
Lillie Hamilton French writes, in the
August number, on The Manner of
Receiving. Ingratitude is a grievous
fault to be met with every day, and
many phases of it are pointed out by
Miss French's pen, which, however, is
tipped not with bitterness but with a
kindliness that takes away the sting
of correction; A very nice illustration
of selfishness is contained in the following:—" It is net an uncommon
weakness, this of being satisfied with
ourselves because somebody else has
been kind to us; because, somebody
else has sacrificed much to. make our
hours easier. We take for granted
most of the special ministrations of
others, as children in their cribs regard
the attendance of their tinrses. Only
a few escape the snare. The more we
get the more we are apt to regard that
Which is given as a mere matter of
course. '1 have one horror in life,' ex-
claimed apretty young woman, to

presents, 'that of bei ng like the rhin-
oceros in the Park. Have you ever
