That, whereas, it 1s currently re-
ported that efforts aro being inade
to bring on a vote for the repeal of
the "Canada Temperauee Act of
1878" In the counties of Huron and
Bruce;
And, whereas, the failure to en.
forgo that Act during the greater
part of the time it has been declared
to b0 In force in flue° , counties le
likely to be used as an argument
because it is an important atop in the
direction of Prohibition ;
That they boldly and stroupnsly
oppose all attempts to weaken or
.ropoal said Act;
That they use their best ondeav-
ore to have sound temperance men
nominated for all municipal and
legislative positions ; and that, so
far as they can eonsoiontiously, theist
give their support to such candi-
dtttes;
That they, on the ground of ex•
poclioaey, abstain totally from tall

against the Act itself ; And, finally, that they never for.
And, whereas, the nou•enforoe- get the absolute necessity for Divine
meat is attributable mainly to I Counsel to direct, and Divine Power
causes outside the Act, null as the
following :
1. The conflict between the Do-
minion and Provincial Governments
us to the duty of enforcement.
2. Lack of sympathy with the
provisions of the Act ou the part of
officers appointed to enforce it.
8. Tho apparent desire of the
commissioners to counteract the
spirit of the law, as shown by their
granting druggists' licenses to hotel.
keepers.
8. The confusion following tho
disallowance of what is known as
the "McCarthy Act," which dis-
allowance swept away, for the time
being, all maohinery for enforce-
ment purposes.
5. The appropriation • of fines
under the Act by the Dominion
Government, and, subsequently, the
p :ming of those fines under the con-
trol of ()minty Councils.
6. The refusal of County Coun-
cils to sot apart necessary funds for
the expenses of enforcement.
7. The nogleet of County Coun-
cils to ask for the appointmout of
Police Magistrates.
8. The delay of the Provincial
Government to appoint the proper
officers for some time after it was
decided that the duty of enforcement
devolved on it.
9. The lack of will, or ability, on
the part of some of the Inspectors to
fulfill their duties.
10. The persistent efforts of those
opposed to the law to raise legal
quibbles. And Somewhat startled, said Susan

judicial quarters.
Aud, whereas, we, as n Presby-
tery, deeply regret the existence of
those causes and their evil effects in
rendering the law, for a time, to a
largo extent nugatory ;
And, whereas, after freely ad-
mitting the existence of these and
other obstaoles in the way of the
law's enforcement, we still see much
reasou for satisfaction and grafi•
tilde in the measure of success al-
ready attained, as shown by the
following facts :
1 According to the returns of
tiro Dominion Government the con-
sumption of intoxicating liquors has
fallen nil' to a very marked extent,
there being a great decrease iu 1885
as compared with 1884, and a still
farther decrease in 1886.
2. In rural districts the traffic is
in many places almost, and in some,
entirely suppressed.
8. In villages and towns "treat-
ing" is no longer practised to any-
thing like the extent to which it
was under license. It is slowly, but
surely, dying out.
4. Liquor -wherever it is sold -
is sold with more or less conceal-
ment, and, as a rulo, only those
strongly in favor of the traffic oan
obtain it.

has been decidedly more satisfaot•

NOT FOR MEM:HANTS ALONE.
Dishonesty, duplicity and falsity
ofcharaoter are business mistakes.
A merchant should familiarise
himself with every line of goods
which he handles.
Seasons of depression in trade
are generally followed by years of
succuss and prosperity.
Eagerness for enormous gains too
often defeats itself. Immense pro-
fits involve immense risks.
Merchandising represents the cold
logic of facts and figures, as shown
in purcbases and sales.
Nothing is more common or more
fatal than the grasping of au ad-
vantage at the cost of tan times its
value.
A merchant, wholesale or retail,
who has a reputation for integrity
attracts considerable custom by that
alone.
Years of MOUSE) in business are
often followed by years of depression.
History repeats itself in trade as well
as in anything else.

secured a total prohibitory law for
the whole Dominion. And

One of the most fanciful as wolf
as novel designs for rho electrol"ler
is in ropresentatiou of the pitcher
plant.
The demand is continued for
handsome mahogany furniture in
Renaissance forms of richly carved
decorations.
Butternutis a comparatively new
adaptation for libraries. A very
general fancy is shown for natural
wood of every kind.
The most recently ianaied form
of toilet table is arranged with oval
glass above, the whole being drap-
ed in English chintz.
Both with etchings and with pic-
tures in bright colorings, the fram-
ing in white and gold, and in white
and silver, is popularly used.
Itis asserted with equal positive-
ness that we aro done with white
and gold, nud on the other hand
that the popularity of the style con-
tinuos unabated.
A carved band in pierced design
between mouldings, in either wood
or gilt, is .a form or picture frame
decoration specially adapted to arch-
itectural subjects.
An admired example of the Chip-
pendale style, which is in consider-
able use, is in white mahogany, suit-
ably upholstered in satin damask,
for a reception room.
Hardly a better frame is provided
for watercolor pictures than that of
simple moulding covered with gold
leaf, leaving perfectly visible the
gram of the wood.
The most elegant varieties in wall
paper include ono in silk, which is
formed by uniting this material to
a paper backgrouud, after which
the design is printed.
Suitable frames for pictures in
blank and white are of oak, with
possibly a light touch of bronze in
the mouldings, and showing a de-
coration of finely carved work in the
outer border.
Some of the persons of severe
taste who must have their white
and gold purely In Louis XVI. style,
have been horrified by degradations
of a fanciful Rococo" style ushered
in without limit.
Orange wood, resembling white
mahogany, is used in elegant forms
inlaid with ivory, The odor of the
wood is pleasant, and the style be-
comes more exquisite with age from
inoreasing harmony between the
ivory tint and that of the yellowish
wood.
.A. fanciful style is represented by
a table in white mahogany inlaid
with copper ; a border is formed
with squares of tin metal, which is
introduced in like form of different
proportions in the ^antral design,
showing also forma of inseots, here

mother of pearl tinted in various
colors.
New patters in wall paper include

looped curtain. This shows running
borders of vine, with dark green and
