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 11. Tho uponpthose of dishonorable 'uweeL Sem, sing some and Sankey bestowed ndilhonor:biSunday school songs.' Sam sang objections in various legal and successfully. 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. 5. Tho enforcement of the Act has been decidedly more satisfaot• ory during the last few mouths, owing to propos officers cud luaohin- to aosomplislr the overthrow of this gigantic evil, t11e Lrquon TRAFFia• GYPSY PROVERBS.

Squire Steward's Son Sant. Sweet Sarah Sawyer's sickly sis- ter Susan sat singing sweetly, Squire Samson Steward's son Sam strolled smoking sorrowfully seeking sweet Susan. Suddenly spying sad Susan sitting singing, Sam slouch- ed slowly stealing sunflowers, scar- ing sweet Sarah. Susan startling, screeched : 'Sam, stop stealing sun- flowers ; sock some ante sandwiches.' Sam seized several, swallowed seven, sank slowly 'so sea sick.' Sweet Sarah sauntered slowly. SeeingSam so sen sick, said slater Susan : 'Sprinkle some salts.' She sprinkled some salts singing sweet songs. Sam survived, squeezed Susan ; she sobbed silently, Sam said : 'Sasan, stop sobbing 1' She stopped, shivered, sneezed sudden• ly, so suddenly, Sam shuddered, 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. Business, in the strict sense of the terns, dons not admit of friend- ship ; yet, there aro times when there should be friendship in busi- 11088.

The rospeotability of the traffic has departed. 7. The Act has proved an excel- lent educator of the public mind, tho effect of winch was felt at the general election last winter, and clearly seen in tho vote on prohibi- tion in the last session of the House of Commons, when the change of some twenty-two votes would have secured a total prohibitory law for the whole Dominion. And 8. The weight of responsibility for the crimes of this baneful traffic is removed from the heads and con- science': of Christian people, and leaves the violators of rho law alone responsible before God and man :- 33e it tberofote resolved, That the Presbytery of 1Vlaitlnnd do hereby mostoarnestly counsel ail its minis - If by a dishonest not a roan makes some hundreds or some thousands of dollar and tarnishes his good name, ho discounts heavily his fu- ture gains, and will generally end in being a poor man.

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 end there, with bodies and wings in mother of pearl tinted in various colors. New patters in wall paper include one for a frizze in imitation of a looped curtain. This shows running borders of vine, with dark green and yellow foliageon a ground in Preach gray with a tinge of red, the ground. of the wall paper being rn sea green. A representation of a rod in bamboo is painted, to aid the affect of a sMS• pended drapery. Tho water in the Ottawa river is lower than for 50 years. Liquor to the value of $250 was seized by Inspector Thompson at a Welland hotel a few days ago and destroyed. A oow belonging to Issao Shantz, near Waterloo, gave birth to throe calves last work, one red, one roan, and the other white. All were living, but ono got injured and died when about throe hours old. The others are doing well. The following fixed conclusions were arrived at as the result of loug and earnest discussion at the Prison Congress which met at Tor- onto : 1. The classification of pris- oners, 2. That prisonars must al- ways be treated as human beings and that reformation must go hand in hand with punishmeut. 8.
