Canada's total trade for the twelve I months of the past year passed the WI- - lion -dollar mark by a little over rive and a half million dollars. Final or detailed figures will not be available for some weeks yet, but the returns i•ectihed so tar by the 'trade and Commerce and Customs Departments show that the • billion-dohar marl: has been passed. .As compared with the Dominion's trade : for 1.911 this represents a gain of overly I.$9,000,0Uu, or 23 per cent. Imports for the past twelve moa:ths totalled approximately $651,000,000, while ex-' ports amounted to nearly $352,t.+00,000, The gain in imports is nearly til40,000,- . O�sOU, while exports increased be nearly ! 5l9,th. O,O'!U. Only one country in the world rivals Cauada in the perm utage ;. of trace growth during the past few years, namely, Argentina. By the end! u at: • ot the hncai year it is expected e, that ted Canada wilt have reached tone place among the countries of the world in re• spect of total trade. The Dominion's trade has doubled within the past six years and trebled within the past thir- teen , ears. i The principal gains in exports during the past car hesevt n in exportsort, of agriculture, mines and ta,anulaetures, ' The increase of exports of agriculture • has been over 25 inilisoas, in mines over 12 millions, and in manufactures over millions. Exports of tae forest and of animals and ttte.r products have shown a falling ot} of several millions, Clue, doubtless, to the iacrs a: ed demands of the home market.

MR. POSTER'S FINE SPEECH. An eminent scientist, the other dad, gave his opinion that the most won- derful discovery of recent years was the discovery of Zam-Buk. Just tici:lt! As soon as a single thin layer of lam-Buk is applied to a wound or a sore, such injury is insured against hh'od poison! Not one species of microbe has been found that Zam•Buk docs not kill! Then again. As soon as Zam-Buk is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to :e'en disease, it stops the smarting.

Read this: "The first and greatest o jecdon which I have to a fixed mono; c tribu- tion is that it bears the aspect o hiring eomebody else to do what we o •r+elves aught to do; as though a lean, the fath- er of a atnilr, in lusty 1:-'altis a'.d etrength, should pay his neighbour some- thing per month for ;oohing sifter the welfare and safety of his home instead of doing that duty himself. That seems to me, when you work it out, to be a oasic objection to this form of aid. It toes still further than that. Suppose eon contribute this year your sum, and next year your equal sum, and there- after year after year.

An American authority estimates the annual loss in the United States, as a result of the destruction of bird life, at Srtinr,nhiO,OuuO. Just how much may be done in the waydumage of insect where insects are not held in control by birds, is shown by the statement that the natural increase of one pair gypsy moths, if unchecked. would destroy the foliage of the whole I'nited States in eight years. A vigorous effort is be- ing made by national legislation to check the destruction of bird life. Freak Fashions That Eclipse Even Those of the Gentler Sex. • Women have up to now always been regarded as the most extravagant sex in matters relating to dress. This fmprnccfon, however, is old-fashioned. for men are known to be getting vain"r trail vainer in regard to their Personal appearance, and are spend- ing more money every year on their 'iress. It is the ambition of every young man nowadays to be fashionable, and men who a few years ago never gave the matter of their dress a thought spend hours over every detail. A el:,nce at the tailors' shops will show that the up-to-date lounge suit, instead :1 having just the susr'stion of i, waist. have a most clearly defined waist -line. Then again, gentlemen's hatters rill 1'II you that "howlers" and "ton - hats" change in shape every month or two. whereas formerly they re. m1nn d the Ramo in o nn ac1v every de- tail tail fn, years. 'Ph brond•hrimmed straw hat which satisfied the seaside young man last season, is now declared to be too meanly by a couple of inches. Even the common everyday Iounge snit has undermine immense changes. ' In order to satisfy the young man of to -dell• they must be made silk -lined and possess vnrinus eccentricities to -�••sfy indi u• s a vt a to d 1 .te.. one large shop has a lounge a snit on -how, made for a certain Youth. which has points to the waist- coat six inches long. Pointed waist- coats, it may he remarked, are the pr'vniline fashion at present. :111 trousers nowadays must be made very short. The reason for this, of course, is because there will be more opportunity for the young man to dian]ay his elaborate socks to ad- vnntase, With the demand for more change in dross naturally comes the increase in the price of clothing. The man who wants to look smart does not sum to mind this, tbongh; in fact, list as the fair: s„ t lova to spend much money on their apparel, so it aoerns that the young man of to -day fhillsiks, a. pride ' a the size of his dress In the old days menwere content to buy ready-made ties for fifty cents. Those days,a 1 nw•c•c •r have t b a .. passed d and it is the thins nowadays to have your own ide made up for you at anything from $3 to $4 each. Although the desire to he fashion- able and have the hest of things may be prevalent in every young man of to -day, it is not always possible for him to pay for them. It is the craze just at present for mon to wear soft hats, and they must be as original in shape as possible. Soft hats can he bout.•le. fir as little as 50 cents. Many "nuts," as the fashionable youth is called, are con- tent to swear these. But people who can afford to pay more for them do, indeed, pay more. Musical artistes, for instance, dear- ly love these hats, and the more un-• eomnnn they are in shape the better they like them. One star badly bitten by the soft hat craze has his hat made for him at $200 a time. Iu addition to the passion for fash- ionable clothes, the more degenerate members of the male sex have taken largely to "padding" and "making In the principal thoroughfares of every large town can be seen groups of corseted and painted young men, the tastes of e to cater for and '2lorsr ] these inverts, gentlemen's toilet and massage establishments have sprung up everywhere. A Necessary Preliminary, Queen Margherita of Italy once vis- ited the M:ontessori schools in Rome and during her brief stay requested a little girl who was engaged in put- ting in seder a box of cut -mit letters to srel' some words for her.

Some farm adjoining his lands was for sale, and his agent negotiated for him for the purchase. Having concluded the business, he went to the duke and told him he had made a capital bargain. "What do you mean?" asked the duke. "Why, your grace, I have got the farm for so much, and I know it to be worth at least so much more." "Are you quite sure of that?" "Quite sure, your grace, for I have carefully surveyed it." "Very well, then; pay the gentleman from me thealau between what b ce btwen you have already given and the real value of the estate."
