In ten years he returns and finds that the value of the lot has increased to 41,000 This it:erteise has been caused by the city pepu'atiau moving in th:.t diree b ire, and has been in no least dt - grey due to the energy of the deed - holder.

The Hamilton Times calls the words put into the mouth of the Lieutenant - Governor in the Speech from the Throne at the opening of the Ontario Legislature "Cauld Keil Het again," and it is right. One searehes in vain for something new. All the comments on what has been done as far as they are true were known before the Legis - met, and what is not true might better have been left unsaid. The Times thus coneludeen-Instead of showing the necessity of a provincial election and another session of the Legislature, the announcements of the "Speech" go to show that Ontario would not have suf- fered in the slightest degree had the Legislature failed to meet for another year. The adding of four or five mil- lions every year to the provincial ex- pense has resulted in a general fatten-. ing of the Tory heelers at the cost of the electors; but any tae who seeks in the record of legislation or in the pub- lic accounts, for evidence of the benefit derived by the people of Ontario will seek in vain. CANADA'S BIG MERGERS. Canadians have been plunging into "high finance" of late years, within three years mergers having become fashionable, some shrewd people learn- ing how to coin water into easy money and bloom out millionaires and put on airs among and at the expense of a credulous public. A contemporary publishers this partial list of mergers and combines launched in Canada in 19..9, 191( and 1911: TOO BUSY TO LAUGH„ A little over a month ago in a refer- ence to the difiieulty of procuring hum- orous articles for The Christmas Globe it was said: -"We talk about the sol- emnity of the Briton, but compared with our own people, he bubbles over Frith wit. The Christmas Globe offer- ed $100 last summer for the best hum- orous drawing submitted by a Canadian artist. The result would have made angels weep. No reward could be made. We are too busy yet in Canada -too much on the rush -to laugh." The echoes raised by that apparently harmless statement have not died away yet. One came back yesterd.iy from the western slope of the Roekies. Some of the articles and letters on the question indicate that if -we are too busy to laugh we are not yet too husy as a people to become angry. E.en such a veteran humorist as Phillips Thompson -the Jimuel Briggs of yore -displayed less than his usual patience and urbanity in discussing the question of Canadian humor, while , some other jesters, mostly from the south bank of the Tweed, declared that The Globe could not recognize the cap and bells when it saw them. A little history may help to show where we are heading. A quarter of a century ago Toronto and Ontario sup- ported a pretty good humorous paper made in Canada by Canadians. Grip was a credit to J. W. Bengough and ! the men and women who helped to keep it going, and whenever cartoons and jokes were reproduced in the big outside world Grip was given honorable mention. Bengough remains, and that he has not lost his capacity to see the funny side of life and to present it, many an audience whom he has recent- ly entertained will testify. But Grip is gone. It died about the time when we began to be too busy to laugh. It went out when the over- crowded electric trolley replaced the leisurely horse -car, when the stand-up lunch became popular, and the insist - ant telephone bell found its way into the private office, and the newly -rich started after the theatre parties, and the man who formerly took pride in his library and spent his evenings there bought a motor -car and developed the speed craze. It may be that all this rushing to and fro had nothing to do with the dec]ine of Canadian humor, but we venture the assertion that were Sam Slick himself to return and try to tell one of his best jokes to a friend engaged in steering his motor through the crowd at King and Young without killing too many people, Sam's friend would have diffi- culty in discovering the stage of the narrative at which the laugh should come in. -Toronto Globe.

Mrs, Joseph Throop, Upper Point de Bute, N.B., writes: -"I cannot speak too well of Doan's Kidney Pills. For two years I was so tired life was a burden and I got up more tired than when 2 went to bed, and my back was so lame 1 could hardly straighten up. I took dill. ferent kinds of medicine, but stone at theta did me. any good until a friend elvised me to try Dean's Kidney Pills. 1 did so, and to -day I don't know what it it to be tired, and my lame back is all gone. I can recommend them. to any person suffering with lame back, and that terri:)le tired feeling."

Kansas, a state which has done more to make rural life comfortable than almost any other division of the globe, has added another new idea to its many. A Kansas agriculture college has organized a scheme whereby wash- day, that great discomfort of country Life, is to be abolished. In the cities the laundries have done away with the work and discomfort of the family washing. But in rural neighborhoods, owing to distance and lack of organization, the entire wash- ing of the farm has still to be done at home. The Kansas a Agricultural Colle gehas obtained figures showing the cost of co-operative country laundries, One of these isbeing established in each radius of five or six miles. The farm- ers pay on assessment accordi ig to the number of their family, and the size of their farm. The machinery is purchased, set up and placed in charge of an expert. It is usually placed near the local cheese factory, so that the daily trip with the farmers' milk will serve also for the bringing and taking of the farm laundry. The maintenance cost is divided up between the patrons in much the same manner as the profits of a cheese fac- tory is divided. The actual cost of running the establishment monthly is figured out and farmer assessed for this according to the work done for him. There is a minimum monthly charge for each patron. The idea has caught like wildfire, and already dozens and scares of co- operative rural laundries have been es- tablished. The work, it is found, can be done at an extremely low cost. Science in the past generation has doge much to lighten the labor of men on the farm; now it is gratifying that this power should also be turned in a direc- tion that shall lighten the work of the farmer's wife and daughters. The Co- operative laundry idea is worthy of some investigation by Canadian rural communities. Children. Cry FOR FLETCHER'S AST`ORIA According to the United States cert- sus returns there are 197 medican journals printed in that country, with a total circulation of 931,584 for each issue- and only about 170,800 physi- cians to read them. tFreet tete Tit a of Feb. 19, 1892.)

It has been fine to see the continued im- provement in this home magazine. At first glance in the news dealer's win- dows it's appearance assures one that it will be good, with its cover showing a charming girl in a snow storm. I am afraid we have begun to associate such attractiveness only with foreign maga- zines. Still finer covers are promised, some by Norman Price whom many will have heard of, for since leaving Canada he has, won much fame in Eng- land and United States for his illustra- tions and magazine covers. February is. Home Building Number, but beside building, it deals largely with decorating and if you want to have your eyes opened in astonishment at the attractive results to he obtained by a person with taste, a little know- ledge and a little paint, you couldn't spend ten cents in a wiser way than for a copy. Tells "Beautiful Wall Tints with Water Colors" what any housekeeper can herself accomplish without wail papers, and has valuable suggestions for appropriate furniture and hangings to match. Another tells of off paints as a wall finish. The well known writer Jessie E. Rorke, writes on "Furnishing a Home on a Moderate Income". Some "Interior Decoration=' is illustrated with pictures in colors so it gives a splendid idea of the harmonizing tints to be used and the results attained. The Journal, by the way, is one of the few magazines using color work on its inside pages. "Humidity in Living Rooms" will surprise most of us who realize so little the importance of mois- ture to our health, our looks, and our furniture -could any woman have three more important reasons for giving it attention. Then there are many other sugges- tions that will *tart the progressive home decorator to planning and re- arranging. If a little intelligence and instruction are principally what is needed to bring harmony from chaos it seems as if every woman owes that much at least to her family and friends. But don't think it is oil about these things, there are several interesting stories, a most attractively illustrated menu for luncheons, good recipes, household suggestions, embroidery, toilet helps and many other of the 'Var- ied interests of the home maker, whom some men say has so little to keep her busy from morning to night. And for any spare crevices between other duties, there's a 'very well selected and illustrated fashion department that one always enjoys looking over even if there is no immediate prospectofdress- making. Whooping Cough. Mrs. Charles Lovell, Agassiz, B. 0., writes: "Seven of our nine children had whooping cough the same winter and we attribute their cure to Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine. We always have it in the house. and recommend it as the king of all medicines. I was formerly completely cured of protrudinpiles by using Dr. Chase's Ointment." The Spellbinders.. The orators rage up and down, and often blow into our town to talk on Vital Themes; they give us theories new and old, Napoleonic plans unfold, and hands us crazy dreams. I'd like to hear one man of pow'r talk plain horse sense for half an hour and bid his hearers rise and get to work like honest Lads, and learn to save their hard-earned scads -such � such talk as that is wise. Bill Wax draws fifteen bones a week and says the Government's a freak since he does not get more; he thinks it is the nation's crime that he has such a beastly time to keep wolves from his door, And when he gets his weekly pay be blows the most of it away, his salary has wings; he buys the dearest kind of meat, all sorts of flossy things to eat, instead of simpler things. He spends his money like a child, and then he listens to some wild spellbinder hand out guff, assuring him he's poor because the country needs some better laws, and all that sort of stuff. Ten thousand talksmitbs in this land, and never one of them will stand before an audience and argue' that a. man should jerk his jacket oil and get to work and exercise horse sense.- ' Walt Mason.

Iv, 1.11t1 Mark 1, 9.11 --Memory Verses, Matt. Iv, 3, 4 -golden Toxt, Hob. ii, 18. Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The record of the baptism 1s found in Matthew, Mark and Luke, but most fully in Matthew. In Luke ill, 23, we read that Jesus began to be about thir- ty years of age, and we cannot but wonder at the lowly rind submissive life of all those thirty years at Naza- reth. How can we ever murmur at limitations and humiliations In our lives as we think of this life lived for us? He came from Nazareth, where He had been brought up (Luke iv, 16), and after Iii- return to heaven He called Ifiinself ",leans of Nazareth" (Acts axil, Si, yet Nnthnnae! said, "Can there any good thing conte out of Naz- areth?" afterward acknowledging tilat out of Nazareth came "the Son of God, the King, of Israel" (John 1, 46. 49). Ile came to Jordan, river of judgment, yet there was nothing In Him to be judged. °there were baptized of John. confessing their sins, but He had no sins to confess. We do not wonder that John said to flim, "1 have need to be baptized of Thee, and comest Thou to me?" Eat our Lord's,"Suffer it to be so now" has helped many a bumble follower to submit to seeming- ly eemingiy unnecessary things that the right- eousness of God might be seen in them and others won to film. This and that other saying, "About My Father's business," /Ile two first recorded ut- terances, are good for all of us in our daily life. As He came up out of the water something happened from the skies -the heavens were opened, and the Fatttier testified, "Thou art My be- loved Son, in wham I am well pleased," At the same time the Spirit of God de- scended In bodily shape like a dove upon Him. The Father had told John that it would be so, and John bare rec- ord that Ile was the Son of God (John 1, 33, 34i. The one who sent John also testified that the one on whom the Spirit would descend and remain would Himself baptize with the Holy Spirit,' Then what hinders us thus to be bap- tized? Luke tells us that Jesus was praying when the heavens were open- ed. Ile seems to have prayed always and about everything and sometimes all night. He fasted too. Is that where we fall? Consider the other six places where we read of the heav- en being opened and always see Him- self. Consider well every place where, as here, the Father, Son and £ioly Spirit are seen or mentioned, as in Matt. xxvifi, 10; 1I Cor. xiii, 14; Heb. Ix, 1-1. See in John xlv, 17. 23, how the Spirit and the Father and the Son make the bodies of believers their abode or mansion and to their ' Whom shall 1 send, and who will go for us?" Let us gladly answer, "Here am I; send me," remewberiug His words, "As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you" (Isa. vi, 8; John xx, 21). When Spirit filled we may then ex- pect to be specially attacked by the devil. As our representative Ile was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil: Both Mark and Luke say that fie was forty days tempted of the devil. Matthew and Luke say that He fasted forty days and forty nights; that He did eat noth- ing. Thus did Moses on two occasions and Elijah once, and these three we And on the Mount of Transfiguration, and we hear them speak of the devil's most awful piece of work, the death of Jesus. He is the fearful adversary of God and man and has been at work as such ever since he deceived and conquered Adam and Eve, and he will not cease till be shall be shut up in the pit for 1,000 years. As the devil tempt- ed Eve on the line of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life (I John 11, 10) and won the day, so he tempted the Lord Jesus, but was defeated. Eve had everything that the Lord saw that she needed, yet she ate the forbidden fruit.

The devil's ambition to be as God conquered Eve (Isa. xlv, 14; Gen. 111, 5). but the Lord Jesus con- quered by the words, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Adam and Eve had been given dominion over all things (Gen. 1, 26-28), but they lost it by giving heed to this great enemy, and he has ever since been the god of this world (II Cor, Ir, 4). The Lord Jesus. the last Adam, knew that some day Ile would restore the dominion to man. and the kingdoms of this world Will be His kingdom (Bev. xl, 15). So He could say to the great adversary, "Get thee hence, Satan." it is written, "Thou shrift worship the Lord thy God, and Hint only shalt thou serve." We read in Luke that "when the devil had ended all the temptation he departed from Ilim for it season," and Matthew and illark tell as that "angels enure hull ministered unto Him."
