Ontario and Quebec did nearly a million dollars worth more of trade with the United States in the last three months of 1894 than it did the previous year, and this in the face of the trade restrictions. An Economical Session N eeded. The Montreal Star is a Conservative Paper. with independent leanings, and the following, from its columns, is all the more wor thy of consideration "A duty imperative upon parliament this coming session is watchful econo- my. Not a dollar should be voted for any purpose where clear and pressing necessity is not proven. The Canadian people can no longer fail to see• that they have reached a point in the jour- ney where it becomes unsafe to further Mortgage the future. Our people now 43we over a third of a billion dollars in the form of Federal and Provincial in- debtedness. The Dominion Govern- ment alone is paying out something like twelve miliion dollars annually in interest because of the Federal debt. It is surely high time to tighten the national purse strings." Parliamentary Matters. The Dominion Parliament was for- mally opened by Lord -Aberdeen, on Thursday. The speech from the throne refers to the French treaty, the Mani- toba schools, the trade depression and ecreased revenue, the Dominion's uture and the prospects of union with ewfoundland. The session promises to be a lively ne, for the deficit will be thoroughly fted, the trade question will occupy attention, and several radical reforms •are suggested. ' Mr Mulock will re -introduce his bill 'to cut down the salary of the Governor- General from £10,000 sterling to half 'that figure, which sum shall include all moneys for travelling expenses, wages of servants. allowance for light, heat, etc., at Rideau Hall, other than all pro- per charges for maintenance of build- -rags and furnishings in proper state of -repair. Mr Mulock prefaces his bill by -a statement that from the establish- ment of the office this country has spent $2,851,917, or an average annual expenditure, until June 30, 1892, of $114,076, being an average annual ex- penditure of W5,410 in excess of the an- nual salary. He thinks this is an un- reasonable sum to be paid in respect of the office, and public interest demands a reduction, but the proposed reduc- tion is not to apply until the incoming Governor-General is appointed. Mr Mulock proposes to strike at the railway passes also, and will introduce a bill to provide that no member of the Senate or House of Commons shall be .carried by any railway, to and from Ottawa in connection with his attend- ance at a session of Parliament, either free or at any rate less than that al- lowed to the general public. Mr McMillan proposes to attack the principle of superannuation, and will Introduce a bill with that object in view. These ar e all matters subject to grave abuse, and the pruning work can very properly be applied. An Estimate of Montague. No one can accuse the editor of Sat- urday,Night with being anything but a Conservative, and his estimate of Dr. Montague is not the estimate of a Libe- ral, but of a Conservative, and it is anything but flattering, being as fol- lows "The Manitoba School question con- tinues to be the burning spot on tbe much hardened flesh of the electorate of Canada. There is no startlingly new phase of it excepting the election of Dr. Montague in Haldimand. His election is certainly a well deserved tribute to his popularity, not to his principles, for he has none. His per- sonality is exceedingly attractive to an audience composed of those who would rather listen than reason, and the be- lief that he is more than an average man lasts with those who never en- quire, after listening, as to what they have brought away with them. No- toriously he is oratorical without being ,educational, eloquent mostly in the devising of statements that are mis- leading, courageous mostly when he has a majority of supporters, and up to date has shown bis bravery of charac- ter almost entirely in doing wrong rather than in advocating right. He is an evidence that it is easier for elect- ors to follow men than principles. The elector of Haldimand is not perhaps aware that he has made his fight or, other people's money. There is no man in the Ottawa Ministry who has been a more subservient political hack than Dr. Montague. Everywhere he has been the paid spouter, the tap . through which the wind of the Ottawa . Ministry has been squirted, and if any of his enthusiastic friends ever pause to examine the situation they will _ notice that all his oratorical periods are paid for by someone who puts up his money in order toain an advan- tage that the people of Canada, intelli- gently considering the question, would ' • not grant. It is neither politic nor prudent, perhaps, to reflect upon this ' class of politician. He is omnipresent because he bas a pass or his railway fare is ppaid; his powers of convincing the public are not hindered by thoughts orf a neglected business or an ungrasped opportunity, yet he is the most dan- gerous quantity that could be injected into the already tainted blood of Cana- dian politics. If men of this sort are to be our rulers we have a tight to ask ourselves, how must we expect to be ruled? Is month to be chosen in pre- ference to principles? Are audacity and indomitable cheek to he preferred to political virtue ? Ts facility in changing one's attitude to be applaud- ed as we would laugh at and approve of the antics of the clown in the circus? It has been Dr. Mcntague's good for- tune to escape by his suave manner and exceeding good -fellowship the criticism of people who neither believe in him as a statesman nor approve of him as anything but a county heeler. It is guile possible that he may reach the highest niche lu Canadian politics, for he has certainly proved himself able and willing Eli adopt any device neces- sary to hoodwink, mislead or betray tl.ose who prize the capacity of the mouth rather than loyalty.. and good - nese of the heart. That a man can be elected who is such a political hanger- on while the issue was one of supreme importance to Canada, marks an epoch in, Mir history which thoughtful men should pause and consider.' ' Occasionally the statement appears, in a Liberal paper that there is reason to fear that next session will see a new gerrymander o Quebec. The day for this sort of thing is gone. The late Sir John Thompson recognized this when lie -withdrew parts of the Government bill in '92, when it was known that the Liberals would blazon it before the country by the methods employed to fight the Franchise Act in '85. What Sir John Thompson declined to do, can hardly be undertaken with success by his successors. any belated attempt to gerrymander Quebec at the coming session would be a piece of the purest folly. Some parts of this province look now as if the electoral boundaries had been marked out by a fly escaped from tht ink bottle; and no more work, of this kind is beingclamored for. If the Government wil go back to county lines, and give us a wap less like a crazy quilt, so much the better; but no more party gerrymandering will be tolerated.—Montreal Star, Cons. Crisp County l4ippings Seaforth Turf Club will hold races do July 1-2. A daughter of Mr Joseph Campbell, of McKillop, fell and broke her arm at the wrist one day last week. Cold in thej:head—Nasal Balm gives instant relief; speedily cares. Never fails. C. Bowerman, formerly a teacher in Usborne, has passed his dental exami- nation, and has located at Huntsville. John McDougall, an old resident of the 8th con. of Grey, intends removing, with his family, to Brussels, having disposed of his farm. An old resident of Grey township passed away on Wednesday, in the person of Wm. Fultbn, 15th con., who had attained to 77 years of age. Another of the old pioneers of Grey passed away in the person of Joseph Armstrong, In his 68th year. He was a native of Yorkshire, England. Mrs (Rev) McKibbon, of Embro, is at the home of her father, Mr R. Mellis, attending to her father, who was very poorly, but who is now improving. Rev D. Perrie, of Wingham,who has not been enjoying good health for some months, left last week forlthe old coun- try. He is accompanied by Mrs Perrie. Messrs McLeod & Johnston cutup 20 cords of cordword for Mrs Sage, Walton, one day last week, in six hours, with their sawing machine. Two cuts each stick. The residence of Mr Archibald, Mc- Killop, was the scene of a happy event on Wednesday, when his daughter, Sarah, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock with Mr Jas.. Hays, youngest son of our ex -Warden. After all that has been said and done, Messrs Livingstone Bros. have sent word that they cannot locate a fax mill at Wingham this spring. The lateness of the season is the principal drawback. W. J. Sharpe, with the mill team, hauled a load of green hemlock plank from Wm. Milne's mill to Brussels on Wednesday, that weighed 6,070 pounds on the Ethel scales. It was a whop- ping big load, considering the bad roads and the long draw. The Kinburn cheese factory'started work for this season on Monday, and the milk waggons are on their several routes bright and early. Mr Papineau, the manager, says that the factory never had a prospect of doing a larger business than it has this year. Dr. A. F. McKenzie, son of Mr Geo. McKenzie, of Wingham, and who has practised in Toronto for the past five years, has located in Mitchell. The doctor practised for a time in Belgrave, a number of years ago, where he was very successful. While assisting to tear down the rear portion of the burned building owned by Dr. Tamblyn, Wingham, James Deyell fell from the second storey floor to the floor below. He was consider- ably shaken up, but no bones were broken. Mr Thos. Ward, of Varna, has just sold four two year old steers, the com- bined weight of which figures up 5,300 pounds. One of thesb steers weighed 1,480 pounds. They were sold for 5 cts. per pound for May delivery. It will thus be seen that Mr Ward realizes the snug sum of $265 for his four animals, or an average of nearly $67 per head. Mr Peter McKay, deputy -reeve of Tuckersmith, who has been spending a couple of weeks in Algoma, returned home on Friday. During his visit he purchased a farm of 440 acres, near fort Findlay. On this farm there are about 70 acres cleared and fit for crop, and over forty acres nearly free from stumps. Price $1,850. The following resolution was passed at the vestry meeting of St. Thomas church, Seaforth :—"Resolved that we, the congregation of St.Thomas' church, place on record our appreciation of the zeal and earnest labors of our rector, Rev Mr Hodgins, and acknowledge our indebtedness to his untiring efforts for the prosperity which hal attended this church since he became its rector, and trust that he may long be, spared to guide U9 in the right way, a4d that in- creased prosperity may attend his ef- forts. The other day a Seaforth lady named Mrs Masters,who was visiting in Strat- ford, was crossing the foot bridge over the Avon on John St., near the resi- dence of Judge Woods. The bridge was in bad condition, a plank being out of the centre and the railing being broken. The lady wIts wheeling her baby in a carriage, and when on the bridge 1he carriage slipped, and the baby was thrown into the river. The river, as it always is in the spring, was deep, and the child was in great danger of being drowned. The mother waded into the water and was fortunately able to save her baby after considerable difficulty. Children Cry for NEWS NO2if5 ALL ABOUT WOMEN. Mr J.H. Hacking, a Winnipeg news- paper man, formerly of Listowel and tlirelph, is dead. Mrs Parnell, the mother of the late Irish leader, was seriously assaulted by highwaymen at Bordentowu, N. J. Mr Philip H. Pettingill, a farmer living on the shore of Lake Ontario, near Wellington, was found in hie barn Friday with a part of his head blown off. The five-year-old son of Mr John Asc- Beat.6, of Woodstock, Ont., was strtick by an express train on Monday and al- most instantly killed.

After such a result in Antigonish, following the Cabinet complications at Ottawa, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper's head will be so small that his hat will begin to bag at the knees.—Toronto Telegram, Cons. Tatay, a seaport of the Philippine Islands, and capital of the Province of Calamianes, has been destroyed by fire, two thousand houses having been burned. One person is reported to have been killed. A number of prominent cattle men from Eastern Canada have arrived at Winnipeg looking for cattle for Eng- lish shipment. Prices have gone up owing to the American scarcity, and there is keen competition. The profession of a bull fighter in Spain, if somewhat dangerous, appears to be also a very remunerative one. Senor Gueritta is said to have killed during his career 1,400 bulls and to be worth $600,000. He is spoken of as a man of great intelligence and of a kindly disposition. Arohbishop Langevin says:—"The Church will not sanction Godless schools. • We want Catholic schools for Catholics. In a word, denomina- tional schools are what we seek, Re- ligion and scientific education must go hand in hand. We want Catholic schools for Catholics, and let the Pro- testants have Protestant schools. Little Emma Thomas, the seven- year-old and only child of Mr Fred. Thomas, painter, Ottawa, met a shock- ing death. She became separated from her mother up town, and going home tried to get in through a window. The sash fell on her neck and choked her to death. A companion first discover- ed the body hanging out of the window and gave the alarm. A belated tourist was obliged to ask for a sed at faun -house, having wand- ered far from his hotel, On rising in the morning he found himself without tooth -powder. Looking about hi,n, he espied on the mantel -piece a small box containing powder, which he used. When he paid for his bed he apologized to the farmer'° wife for having used her tooth -powder. "Tooth -powder?' she queried;"we have none.' "Yes, my good woman. It was in small round box on the mantel -piece." "That," she screamed—"that was not .tooth-powvder! That was aunty!" Aunty had been cremated. In an intricate case where Daniel O'Connell, then a young man, had been made junior counsel, the question was that of the validity of a will. The in- strument was drawn up in proper form, and the witnesses swore that it. had been legally executed. One of I.hem, an old servant, had already sworn that he saw the deceased sign the will. "Yes," he continued, "d saw him sign it, and sure there was life in him at the time." This expression was repeated so frequently that O'Connell was led to believe that it had some peculiar meaning. He fixed his eyes upon the old man and said gravely. "You have taken a solemn oath, before God and man, to speak the truth and the whole truth. The eye of God is uporldvo'.r. The eyes of your neighbors are fixed upon you also. Answer me, by the virtue of that sacred and solemn oath which has passed your lips, was the testator alive when he signed the will? The witness was struck by this solemn manner of address. His lips quivered and he faltered out the reply, "There was life in him!" The question was repeated in a yet more impressive man- ner. Again he trembled and stammer- ed forth his stock phrase. Finally, by dint of clever leading and suggestion, O'Connell drew from him the fact that a pen had been placed in the dead man's hand, and the legatee himself had guided it and traced the signature. But to meet the exigency of legal questioning, a living fly had been placed in the dead man's mouth. Thus there was "life in him" at the time!

Sold byWATTB & CO„ Clinton WHERE THE SUN GETS ITS HEAT Why the sun continues to give forth light and beat in undiminished quantities and unvarying intensity after having been in a state of combustion for untold ages has long been a puzzle to the astronomers as well as to the thoughtful observer in the lower rank of tbe star gazers. Those learned in sun lore tell us for every second of time the sun emits as moth beat as would result from the instant combustion of 11,600,000,000,00 tone of coal l Calculating from these fig- ures it is esaily shown that if the sun's en- tire mass consisted of first quality of coal in a state of combustion and that it could burn until the very last ton were consumed (maintaining until then the rate of heat emission now kept np) the supply could not possibly last over 5,000 years. But it is believed that the sun has been in exist- ence for hundreds of thousands and prob- ably millions of years, and that since the "ages Df man" dawned the quantity of heat emitted has not perceptibly diminished. This being the case, there is but one conclu- sion as to how its supply of heat is kept np, viz,: That it has an outside store of fuel to to draw upon. The latest theory is that the immense regions of spade are occupied by Untold myriads of miniature bodies known as meteors, meteorites, and aerol- ites, which are being constantly drawn to the sun, and that these, constantly plough• ing its atmosphere, evolve numerous streams of both heat and light.

THE OLD STORY EVERY TIME. John L Simpson, a prominent merchant of Chatham, Ont, writes in February, 1895: —"La Grippe lieft me with ohronio throat and bronchial trouble, attended with a cough which defied all remedies until I struck the new medicine, PINE -MALT, that gave me immediate relief. I here test- ify to the great merits of the new medicine. Other persons in Chatham bear like testi- mony." In ohronio oases, and in incipient consumption, ask druggists for Pine -Malt and Hypo hosphites instead of plain Pine - Malt. Sold by J. F. Roberts, Druggist, Parkhill. At a reading by George W, Cable at Pittsburgh the other day, 1n his con- versational style he asked the audi- ence, "Let's see, when I was here be- fore did I tell you the story of Salon- gadou?" Promply carne the answer, in a woman's voice, from the middle of the hall, "Yes, sir." The audience broke into peals of laughter, and when the men invent subsided, Mr Cable said, apologetically, "But I want to tell that story again,' which he proceeded to do.

A statistician has learned that the annual aggregate circulation of the papers of the world is calculated to be 12,C00,000,000 copies. To grasp any idea of this magnitude, we may state that it would cover no fewer than 10,- 450 square miles of surface; that it is printed on 781,250 tons of paper; and, further, that if the number, 12,000,000,- C00, represented, instead of copies, seconds, it would take over 333 years for them to elapse. In lieu of this ar- rangement, we might press and pile them vertically upward to gradually reaching our highest mountains; top- ping all these, and even the highest Alps; the pile would reach the magni- ficent altitude of 490, or, in round num- bers, 500 miles. Calculating that the average man spends five minutes read- ing his paper in the day (this is a very low estimate), we find that the people of thetworld, altogether annually occu- py time equivalent to IC0,000 years reading the papers.
