Yours, for fun, SANTA CLAUS. Only a few days left till Christmas., make good use of it W. COOPER & CO. NEWS NOTES 'Mr G. 3. 'Chauncey, postmaster cf Mark ham, Ont., died on Saturday, aged 47. Mr A. M. Brown, a pioneer oitizen of Winnipeg, died on Saturday night, after a long illness. The Duchess of York formerly Princess Mary of Teok,, gave birth to a eon on Sat nrday morning. It is believed that Mr John F. Wood, Controller of Inland Revenue, will be also Controller of Customs. Mr Claude V. Carrie, a farmer of Neepa wa, was fatally wounded on Saturday, while cleaning his rifle. It is reported that the Prince of Wales made a lot of money when the South Afri- can market was at its height in London a few months ago. There is said to be a growing -feeling in England in favor of protection, but Lord Salisbury holds out no hope that England will change her fiscal polioy. John Softie, a prisoner in jail at Chat ham, managed to lock the turnkey in the corridor, and then tried to break out. The turnkey's shouts brought assistance, and Soafe gave up the job. • Mr E. E. Sheppard, of Toronto Satur- day Night, who in past years was recogniz- ed as a Conservative leader, has become proprietor of the Toronto Daily Star. His views regarding the men now in power are summed up in a sentence from the first ed- itorial printed in the journal after Mr Shep: pard took control. "The break-up of the great party, whioh has controlled Domin- ion affairs for well-nigh 25 years, seems to have arrived," is the. declaration made. The wreckers are at Ottawa. The coun- try needs a change. The most valuable thoroughbred oow of her day was slaughtered in Hamilton last week, and her quarters now hang as a Christmas beef exhibit in the Central Mar- ket stalls of Mr J. H. Dingle. Her Lame wee "Lady Isabella," number 5,156 in the herd book, and she was imported by the late John Hope for the Bow Park Farm herd, which farm and herd at that time were owned by the late Hon. George Brown of The Globe and Messrs. T. Nelson & Sons, Edinburgh, Scotland. This herd of thoroughbreds when at its best was acknow- ledged the largest and most valuable in any stook farm in the world. "Lady Isabella" cost, delivered in Canada, $7,600. She was bred by Mr J. Outhwaite, Catterick, York- ehire, England, and was an unbeaten prize- winner in Great Britain, Canada and the United States, taking firsts only. She was a model cow, and able judges state that they have never seen her equal. In her palmy days going into the prize ring she weighed 2,240 pounds. For three cousecu- tive years she took first prizes at a number of exhibitions, and under the liberal condi- tion offered by her owners that they would give an extra special prize of $600 to the owner of any oow that would beat "Lady Isabella" in her class. These exhibitions were the State Fair, Des Moines, Iowa; Minnesota State Fair, Dakota State Fair, Illinois State Fair, Toronto Industrial and London Fair. On being brought home- ward at the end of the third year she was slightly injured in the back by the shunt- ing of a car in the States, which ended her showing career at long distances, as she could not stand long transportations.. She was about fifteen years old when slaughter- ed, her usefulness having passed away. At the sale of The Bow Park herd in 1894 she was bong.t by the late Wm. Douglas, tho- roughbre stock -breeder, Caledonia, and re- cently sod by Mr James Douglas to Mr J. H. Dingle. She was not nearly as heavy of late as some years ago, bat very fist, and (when slaughtered dressed au even 1,200 pounds. Taking into consideration her imported coat, each pound of het beef now represents $6.33. Mr Geo. Moore, of the Grand Trunk dining rooms, purchased the first out, a choice 61 -pound sirloin roast. THE PRIZES AWARDED, The final awards in the literary competi- tion offered by the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Brookville, Ont., have jt+et been an- non/iced. The decision as to the order of merit of the five stories selected was left to a Vote of the readers, and that great interest wee taken in the matter is shown by the fact that 1.6,728 votes were recorded.

Tho Grace of God. No man knows to what depths he may sink unless tins taIrked by the grace of God, at the salve time grace can only be aoquir, ed by Divine favor. This Divine favor is like the flowing river: it penetrates the soul through every channel, unless these channels are stopped up; like the river in its course flows through every opening unless stopped. Almighty God Is more willing to bestow this favor npon us than we are to receive it, and in fact He even prompts us to seek it. The scriptures abound wits instances respeoting the be- stowal of this precious gift,and the results ensuing from its aooeptariee or rejection. St. Pani particularly omphaslzes the necos- eity for invoking God's grace and reminds as that we owe every good to the favor of God, and that by His grace alone are we capable of even a pions thought. This grace is the spring and the source of all the benefits we receive from God and by it we aro enabled to work out our salva- tion. And while it is true that this Divine gift raises us up to an eminent degree of sanctity, when faithfully responded to, it is also true that the rejection of it en- dangers the goal, and makes It capable of the deepest degradation,' Furthermore, as it is true that God is ever willing to be- stow this grace upon mankind when it is Bought, it is likewise true that a persist- ent rejection of it may forfeit the right to expect it and God has warned us that un- itise we respond to it immediately we may seek it afterwards in vain. It behooves ns then as Christians not only to desire this grace, but to seek for it and unceas- ingly ask for it; moreover we should en- deavor at all times to act in snob a man- ner as to deserve it, so that whenever it shell flow into the soul it may have free a passage and thuscard the g soul from tea surrounding evils, Are very pretty this �rear, esu pecially a .ireNVith Gellulo c Covers and pearl effect.

Slade of Finely Tempered Chains and Well Tanned Leather. The experiments with bullet-proof coats and material which have been conducted here and abroad, have called attention to the faot that mail proteotion did not en- tirely pees away with the shelving of shield and cuirass. Many English officers still wear a partial armor when serving on foreign stations. The commonest, most usual type of these proteotions oonsists of fine but beautifully l tempered single chains, inclosed in soft I leather, whioh run along the shoulders, Ii down the outer side of the arms and over curtain parts of the body. These can either be sewn into a particular tunic, or they Gan be adjusted separately and put on like harness. Hundreds upon hundreds of these sets are sold. The most valuable of all ohains, in connection with accoutre- ments, are those whioh guard the head; and in oases where the regulation cap or helmet is riot suffioiently proteoted in this way, specially made chains are sewn inside the same and covered by the lining. Only those who have been in adtualoon- filet know how valuable all the chains mentioned are in minimizing the effects of sword outs. As regards protection both from sword and bullet, the general belief nowadays seems to be in thoroughly tan- ned leather, and great quantities of tight- fitting loather under tunics are made for officers, the favorite pattern—said to be the invention of the late Sir Richard Bur- ton—being that which forms a not too prominent ridge down the center of the chest. Many stories are told by officers of bullets which have been diverted in some degree by these leathek tunics, some of which are lined with woven steel wire. Of course, none of these things are supposed to be an absolute protection, but only a sort of palliative. A. London gunsmith, who sells a great many chain mail body protectors, whioh fit almost like an ordinary vest, and are very expensive, sells a large number of them to army men, and he not long ago sent a groes,as many as he could get made in time, to Japan, where they were quick- ly sold. He has made for individual offi- cers who have themselves drawn the de- sign, a variety of different patterns of ar. frier. Piue flexible chain and leather Kerr. entered Into nearly all of them. MONTREAL LIVE STOCK MARKETS There were about 600 head of betchers cattles, 20 calves and 850 sheep and lambs offered for sale, at the East End Abattoir to -day, a considerable number of the cattle being superior intended for Christmas mar- ket. Butchers were present in full force, and trade wee brisk, with decidedly higher price' being paid for anything good in the beef line. A few of the fanny beeves were held at 50 per lb. but without being sold. Steers and heifers fit for the Christmas trade were sold at from 4,}o to 4j'c per Ib; large fat cows sold at from 4o, to 4ac per lb; pretty good stock sold at from 3o to 3;o and common dry cows at from 20 to 2ao per Ib. There seems to be little demand for the in- ferior beevee, but as they were not so nn - morons as on former markets they were held at higher prices, YIr George Nichol- son bought 10 superior beevee at from 4•c to 4&c per lb. Last week he had a eeten weeks' old spring lamb sent to him from the Eastern 'l'ownehips, for whioh he paid $7. A few of the best sheep were bought at about Be per lb for shipment to Britain. Good lambs sold in lots at from etc to Sao per 1b; the others sold at from 3o to 3io aper Ib. Fat hogs are plentiful and flower; in price at from 33o to 3 o per lb.
