The excise and post -office revenues show an in- erease of a Million, while'the Cus- toms figures are about the same as last year. The takings in the Rail- ways and' Canals Department lead those of last year by $1,300,000, while the miscellaneous revenues, -derived from sales of land, etc., show heavy advances. Hon. W. T. 'White's forecast in his Budget speech. seems in a, fair way of being realized. After point- ing out that the revenue for 1912- 13 stood at the extraordinary figure n_ t. st e "it is too much to expect that this abnormal rate of increase will be maintained during the present year," he went on to say: "I feel confident that the revenues of the year -will not only prove adequate to meet the current expenditure, but to met possibly the whole, and certainly the greater, portion of capital and special expenditure for the year." This, he explained, cannot often occur, hut may be achieved in exoeptionial years. It now appears likely that this fore- cast will be fulfilled completely and' that the year's revenues will suf- fice for th econsolidated and capital expenditure. ARMSTRONG-WHITWORTH CO.

He says : "Three years ago I had a severe attack of stomach trouble which left me unable to eat anything but bread and water, "The nervous strain at my office from 6 A. M. to 6 P. M. and im- proper foods caused my health to fail rapidly. Cereal and so-called "Foods" were tried without bene- fit until I saw Grape -Nuts men- tioned in the paper. "In •hopeless desperation I tried this food and at once gained strength, flesh and appetite. I am now able to work all day at the office and study at night, without the nervous exhaustion that was usual before I tried Grape -Nuts. "It leaves me strengthened, re- freshed, satisfied; nerves . quieted and toned up, body and brain waste restored.

MINERAL OUTPUT FOR 1912..: Total Value 'Was $13t$,048,290, or an -.Increase of Thirty Per Cent. A despatch from Ottawa says: That; Canada last year saw her best period of mineral production on record is indicated by a general summary of the mineral 'production of Canada for 1912, just issued by the Mines Branch of the Depart- meat of Mihes. The total value of last year's output was $135,048,296; $31,827,302 more than during the previous year, or an increase of over thirty per cent. As Canada's growth and • progress in industrial .. d-evelo intent are more or less re- flected in the statistical record of her mineral production, this is a gratifying record. - Since 1886 this production has risen from $2.23 to about $19 per capita. Ontario heads the list, with a production of $51,485,000; British Columbia comes second, with $30,- 000,000, and Nova Scotia third with $18,922,000. A substantial increase in the price of most metals was a feature of the year,*as was -the ek- tended development of ore reserves, pointing to much greater outputs in the future. Coal has been the most important product in point of value, with a total production of $36,019,044, silver coming next in importance, and nickel; copper and gold following. With the exception of petroleum, every important min- eral mined in Canada shows an in- creased production in 1912. General. India is contemplating legisla- tion to improve her banking sys- tem.

Her Imperial Highness proposes to dispose of her magnificent castle at Gatchina, 30 miles from. St. Petersburg, where she passed much of her time during her widowhood. She will present her country estate near Livadia, inthe Crimea, to her only surviving brother, Prince Wal- demar of Denmark. It is at the earnest desire of Queen Aleaiandra that her sister has decided to pass so much of her time in England. DEPENDS ON OUR FRUIT. French Crop Has Been Decidedly Short This Year. A de'spatoh from Ottawa says : That France will have to depend to a considerable extent on Canada for her fruit consumption this year is shown by :a return to the Trade and Commerce Department from Mr. Phillipe Roy, Canadian Corn- missioner-General in - Paris. Mr. Roy reports that the French fruit crop has been decidedly short, ex- cept for apples 'and grapes, and goes on to soy: "Ineshort, it is to be expected that fruit consun>,ption this year will be closely dependent upon -Algeria., Spain, Canada and the United States." As it has been estimated that the French people consume 1,500,000,000 kilos of fres) fruit per year and 87,000,000 kilos of dry fruit, this will mean much to Canada. ' MINT TO BUTTER -MAKERS. Montreal Merchants Suggest Im- provement For Grading. A despatch from Montreal says: Althcugh reformed methods of but- ter -making, shipping, handling and selling have been considerablydis- cussed during recent years, it seems that there is still room for material improvement in -certain directions.
