Resuming, we mayrsy that this is
lnii
a hook for the tes,` for many res•
One. IE is a safe book, and it is
pro-miriently'a book of facts. There
.is nothing in its •pagoa that is over
drawn in the slightest degree,es
each sketch has been verified by
those wholcn_ow the facts.: It is in.
spiting containing as doee this first
volume now oloaed the faces and his-
tories of over six hundred men who
are believed to be worthy of the ad-,
miratio'.i and .imitation of our boys
and young men. In this idbum are
found thosa whose lives can be stud-
ied and -emulated by -our peoplo who
wish to get ou in the world,
It ia. instructive, inasmuch as it
contains more information about, our
representative mete than can be
found in any collection of works now
printed. The reader becomes tac-
quainted not only with the facts of
the lifa, with the appearance of the
man of whom he is reading, and
having learned of him in the two-
fold way is not liable to forget him.
The work is certainly of a high ora
dcr and deserves unstinted praise
for the artistic way in which both
the portraits and typography are
executed. The finest coated paper
is used and no pains or expense ap-
pear to have been spared to make it
in every sense worthy of the past re-
cord of the publisher.
It is unique. So far as we know,
nothing of the same design has been
published on this continent, This
feature alone should greatly aid in
giving the Album a large circula•
It will be useful. As a book of res
fereuce, nothing can bo more con-
venient or reliable. By means of the
copious and well aranged index one
can find in a moment the facts con-
cerning any one whom it contains.
A copy of the volume will be a
handsome and interesting addition
not only to ourcentre tables, but to
every library. The convenience and
pleasure with which •one can thus
meet distinguished men must be
very desirable indeed, and as those
well bound volumes will, with ordin-
ary, usage, be in good preservation
for a half century to come, our .,chil•
ren's children will be able to look.
upon the faces of those who-•helpeelh^'
to run the machinery of the world,
in the very long ago. We cengratu•
late the publishers on the ability dis-
played in this great enterprise ; we
may say GREA'C enterprise, for we
underatand that the work to which
they have set themselves involves
an outlay of about 9130,C00 and
from the appearance of their first,
now nearly complete volume we ful-
ly expect them to succeed. We
trist that "The Canadian Album
will be found in every house in the
Dominion and believe that it will
have a large circulation. The enor-
mous edition now on press places it
in reach of everyone. We under.
stand .that subscribers get the num.
_ter 9i'oop ete_to.,whioh thesis contract,
entitles them at about one-half the
price, ab which such a work could be
procured in the usual way, and that if
they ohoose to sell their surplus copies
they can recoup themselves for
every dollar of outlay or they have
the priyillege of keeping and ex,
changing for future volumesa they
are issued, by this exchange the sitb-
scribers will come in possession of
the total number of volumes issued,
without additional cost. This first
volume covers part of Ontario, start:
ing at Toronto and reaching West.
Future volumes will cover other
parts of our great Dominion.

CURES BY BLESSING,
An examination of the records of
the Wallahs In the Catholic cemetery
in the city of Beloit, Wisconsin, dis-
closed the fact that very few of the
deaths are from throat disease and ,
this led a reporter to talk with the
Bev. Father Ward on the subject of •
the throat blessing of the Catholic
Church. Father Ward said that
for the last three years -he had bes
stowed the throat blessing of the
church all who applied for the act,
Catholic or Protestant. So far as
he knew there has not been a death
from throat trouble of one who had
received the blessing. Some Cathc-
lice have not seen fit to receive the
rite, but nearly all the members of
Beloit and Janesville churches have
done so, and there heye been no
fatal diptheria cases among those/so .
blessed. -
"You know of the Beloit people,"
said Father .ward. "Now think
of`ttrrli tt ter And'you• will observe --
that it is a striking fact that the
'Catholics of Beloit Iattve been spared

RESPONSIBILITY OP LIQUOR VENDORS.
In the Supreme Court of Pennsyl-
vania last week it was decided that
a saloon,keeper was responsible in
the event of injuries received by in-.
toxicated persons from tha sale of
liquor. The decision was rendered
utile shit t1f-Ettrtrlirre Davis against
one McKnight, a saloon -keeper, to
recover damages for the death of
her husband. She claiuhed that Mc.
Knight sold her husband liquor
until he became intoxicated, and
that he foil into a gutter full of
water, thereby contracting pneu,
monia, resulting in his death. Mc-
Knight in defence said the liquor
was not the immediate cause of
death, and that Davis drank of his
own free will. The Court held that
the voluntary taking of liquor while
intoxicated, Davis being at the time
of known intemperate habits, was
such a contributing iregligence upon
his part as would prevent a recovery
by the plaintiff will not bear ex•
amination. Every drunkard takes
liquor voluntarily, and on account of
his weakness the law inakos the
saloonkeeper responsible. He haa
not the will to resist, however, and
for this reason the sale to him is
forbidden.
