TEE Toronto News says :—Io Canada
the net federal debt alone represents
close upon fifty dollars for every man,
woman and child in the Dominion, end
in Toronto another ninety dollars at

times greater per capita than it is in the
United States.
Toe "Iron Hall" Inearanee Society is
hardly cold in its grave before the fact is
announced that the "Fraternal Guardi-
ans" have also turned np their toes and
are go more, Both of thesis institutions
were born in the United States but had
extended their business to this Province
and es a resnit not a few Canuoks were
badly sold. The sooner level headed
people come to understand that they
must pay a fair price for their life in.
suran0e to have it stand the test the
same as in any other business transac-

mushroom institutions will have to seek
other employment and not fatten on the
gullability of avaricious people.
Tao County of Northumberland in
New Brunswick has, by a oonsiderable
majority, refused to re establish the rum•
sellers iu her midst by repealing the
Soots Act. It is all nonsense to suppose
that the Scott Act, even when not
thoroughly enforced, does not diminish
liquor drinking and selling ; if it did not
does anyone suppose that the liquor
manufacturer and seller would spend
large sums of money iu trying to defeat
it everywhere? The Scott Act does hot
prevent all liquor selling, but neither do
other laws altogether prevent murder,
theft and other crimes, but they do die -
countenance and do prevent them, in a
greater or lose degree, and they do help
to make them hateful, as they should be
in the eight of all law-abiding people,
A COMPARIsoN of the reports of the Bur-
eau of Industries for the years 1888 and
1801 shows what rapid progress the farm-
ers of this province are making in the
production of stook. During the interval
that elapsed between the years named
the number of horses in Ontario inoreas-
ed by 118,526 ; the number of harued
matte by 160,761, and the number of
hogs by 249,589, while the total value of
all live stock in the province jumped up
nearly eight and a half million dollars.
Itis pleasing to note, too, that the corn -
forts and conveniences of the agrioultur.
19ts havebeen
largely added to during
the sameperiod,oas is shown byan in -
am w
crease of 97,128,012 in the value of impls-
ments and nearly twenty-eight and a
quarter millions in that of farm build -
Inge. What is more satisfactory than
all, however, is that these increases in
stook, farm buildings and implements
were not purchased by borrowed money,
the proof of which statement as found in
the feat that iu 1890, one of the lean
years the loan companies doing business
in the peovinoe received back from bor-
rowers nearly two million dollars more
than they loaned out.
Soatn interesting facts are contained
in the latest bulletin issued from the
oases office and which dams with vital
statistics covering the last decade. We
are told, for instance that there were
only 135,848 births in Canada during the
past ten yeats, as against 238,847 during
the previous ton, and this, although the
population in the latter period was some
half millson greater than in the previous
one. This would seem to show that there
is, after all, some ground for the state-
ment that the exodus is not alone re•
sponsible for the slow increase in the
number of people in rho Dominion, The
greatest number of births, is proportion
to population, occurred, as might natural-
ly be expected, in Quebec, the birth rate
pen thousand in that Province being 80.-
86. The next highest was 10 Manitoba -
82.58. Ontario with 24.50 to every
thousand people, was third from the
bottom. Prince Edward Island and
British Colombia were the lowest. That
Ontario is a healthy province is shown
by tato statement that our death late was
but 11.80 per thousand. Only in Mani-
toba and the Northwest is there a better
showing 1111110 this, and the particularly
low rate there ie due to the feet that so
large a proportion of the population of
the West is made np of new arrivals in
the prime of life. In 1881, when the
0o editions were more equal, Ontario had
the lowest death rate of any pert of the
Dominion, One of the most curious
foots brought ant by those returns is
that mortality is 100011 greater among
Cabello than Protestants. Even in
Ontario there were 14 deaths per thous,
and among Catholics as ngainet 10.8
among Proleslante, and in Quebec the
rate was 20.1 as against 10.8. Divided 5e•
cording to denominations the Methodists
give the lowest death rate of all, 10.4 per
thousand—a, particularly ourioue oirou)n•
stance since Methodists are popularly
supposed to be always peculiarly pre-
pared for the great change.
TIE plans of Canada's quarters et the
World's Fair have just bean presented to
the direolor-geueral. In general dimen-
sions the building will be 80x65 feet, in.
eluding the broad veranda that will sur-
round it on three sides, Entering the
broad vestibule in front, a reception ball,
89x39 feet, will be provided for guests ;
to the left is a suite of offces for the
ecmmissioners ; beyond that a oorridor
divides the floor in Greek cross fashion,
and still beyond are the rooms eat aside
for the Ontario Provincial representa-
tives. On the other side of the main
hall are Quebec's rooms. Opposite the
main entrance, at the extrema of the
main hall, is a stairway that leads to the
upper floor. On this floor Manitoba and
British Columbia have their quarters,
the other rooms being reserved for com-
mittee meetings. The whole house will
be built of native material and finished
in Canadian wood. It will be a com-
mandiug struoture.
