?resident Ramsay's Address
In moving the adoption of the directors'
sport on the occasion of the company's
abilee its 50th annual meeting, I would
ask- yon to look bank at the formation of
the institution in 1847,when it begaubue inese
iii twine what humble quarters in this city,
{,'when a comparatively very small one, with
sapulation=of--some-seven or -eight-Mott
ndinhabitants. It was a time when Can-
; da was sparsely tettl!d,when ra,lways•w,ra
`raotiett2, unknown, and when postal and
cher facilities of communication were slow
and difficult, when there was, happily per-
t Ibaps, little of that rush and eager compet-
ltion for bnsinees which now exists. It
,ivonld hardly•then, I think, have crossed
the mind of even the most enterprising
gond sanguine of the premotere of the instit-
'iition, which they were, then launching up-
on its career with some anxiety, and many
gravely expressed doubts of success, that it
''vopldhave supporters and agencies in every
,tcity, town, and village, I may say, front
the Atlantic to the Pacific, and would at-

the company enjoys, and you will be glad
to kno'w that the advantages which it of -

VICTORY FOR EAST SIN1COE
Of one thing Mr W. H. Bennett, the Con-
servative Standard Bearer in East Sim
coe, is sure --He suffered from Catarrhal
Trouble and found speedy and fixed Re-
lief in Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder,
In the coming by-election it will not be
settled until the votes are counted, whether
Mr W. H. Bennett, who has represented
the constituency with ability for years, will
again be the successful candidate. One
thing Mr Bennett is perfectly certain of,
whatever turn the election may take:
When attending to his duties in Ottawa
two sessions ago he was taken down with
catarrhal trouble in the head. He used Dr
Agnew's Catarrhal Powder and over his
own signature says that, it worked like a
charm, and quichly removed the trouble
and made him fitted for his parliamentary
duties, Sold by Watts & Co.

FRENCH JOURNALS.
@hares of Several Mot ght,And Sold Dally
on the Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals have -it
seJle de depeahes, where bulletins are
displayedaaad a museum of relics of the
paper is kept. French journalism is
much more personal -in regard to its lit-
erary composition than that of England
or America, A large proportion'of the
articles are signed with the names of
the writers, even when the work is
more or leas of a routine nature, such
ss the sporting or law departments of
the paper. On the other hand, the own-
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
ciations,'while-the stock of several0of
the beat known, such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock ,Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those of rail-
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation of all but a very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If a paper
contains a striking article, well adver-
tised previously, or if its feuilleton, con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most of
the French journals consider an essen-
tial part of their daily issue, is by moo
well known author, the circulation
run up 50,000 or 10'0,000 in a week:
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When Le Jour
began publishing M. Henri Roohefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up five-
fold, although the prioe of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French pre4e is much more oon-
oentrated in the capital than that of
other European countries In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many'
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that

A Badly Needed Invention Suggested by
the Caustic Copy Reader.
"I shall be famous. I have an idea
that will send my name thundering
down through the ages, '.' remarked the
copy reader.
"Humph I" replied the humorist. "It
will be the first idea yon have ever had.
You spend most of your time destroying
the good ideas of others."
"Well, that may be, although you
never have any idea to destroy, seeing
that you get those which you have from
Joe Miller's jokebook and the'o1d al-
manaos. "
"Oh, well, let's have your ideal"
"To tell the truth, it was suggeeted
to me by you."
"Ahl I thought as much, said yet you
say''—
"Don't
ay'"Don't be in too big a harry. You
haven't heard my idea."
"What 18 it?"
"I have invented j3unctuation
mark for humor. It is intended to show
the reader where to laugh. In olden
times, you ,know, the point of the joke
used to be printed in italics. Nowadays
there is no way to show the point, and,
as many of the jokes, such as yours,
have no point, it is impossible to print
the point in italics. Now, 'suggest that
a punet`uation mark be, placed at the be-
ginning and at the end of everything
supptised to be funny, so that the reader
may be prepared to laugh when he be-
gins to read and know when he has
reached the point and it is time to
laugh. I would suggest that the mark
be two little squares placed above the
line, and I shall call it by my name.
What do you think of that for an idea? -
It was suggested by your stuff, as I told
you."
But the humorist had given the copy
reader a look of scorn and had vanished.

A correspon a tt yr L•i tell to the London
Fieldthatwhile be was hunting rabbits
with ferrets iu January he found rabbits
on three occasions in willow trees which
overhung the water of u mill stream.
The miller Raid that it was not an un-
usual circumstance. Some months ago
The Field told of other rabbits which
had been shot, like raccoons or opos-
sums, out of trees in England. In re-
cent years cases of rabbits in trees have
been reported with increasing frequency.
From Australia has come the most re-
markable story of rabbits as eh/aborts'
The only way in which rabbits could be
kept out of pertain tracts of laud in
Australia was by the building of wire
fences about them, the fences having
meshes so small that the beasts could
not crawl through and being so high
that they could not jump over. The rab-
bits- have clawed at the wires until their
nails gradually have become hooked.
Some of the rabbits learned to scale the
fences, and there great additional ex-
pense was necessary, for the top of the
fence had to be bent over like a J up-
side down, with the hook out, so that
the rodents could not get over the top.
Australian rabbits are said to be learn-
ing to climb trees for the leaves.
