This is one of the beet newspaper stories that money could procure, and one which, we hope, will please all our readers. In the meantime we are publishing the short story, " What Was His Motive?" It will only last two or three weeks and at Its conclusion we will comments our new continued story, "In Spits of Ills Birth."

At the coming session the Ontario government will have to consider the question of asylum accomoda- tion.

The registrar general is preparing his report of births, marriages and deaths. The birth rate has been found to be about the same es that of past years, which is very low. This is accented for by the Irregu• !miry of reports of births. In a comparison of the registry of births and depths, it war lotted taut et mall. born children registered a large majority were not registered as birthe. The officers hen no special inducements to register births, while there an be no burial without a lieeuse. This accounts to a large extent for the low birth rate.
