—The year 1901 broke the record
for marriages in Ontario, 2,148 be-
ing reported, an increase of 300
over any preceding year.
—The manufacture of steel be-
gan at Sydney on the 31st ult.,
when the first sheet was poured
through the open hearth furnace of
the Dominion Iron and Steel Com-
pany.

—Efforts are being made in Great
Britain to import the wooden soles,
which are there used so extensive-
ly in the mining districts, from
Canada., instead of, as heretofore,

—Mr. John B. Laing, the Pro--
vincial Municipal Auditor, makes
the announcement that 160 exam-
inations were carried out by his
department during the year 1901.
No financial losses of any kind bad
to be recorded.
—The world's total silver output
in 1900 had a coinage value of
$233,468,200, which was greater
by $6,802,500 than that of the total
silver produeeion of 1899. The
total addition to the world's sup-
ply of gold and silver in 1900
amounted to $479,102,700, of which
the United States contributed
$153,:704,500. .

—A• deputation of leading Prohi-
bitionists, representing several of
the churches, waited on the Ontario
Government one day last week
with reference to Prohibition. The
Premier gave them; no satisfaction,
but reminded them that the Legis-
lature would meet soon. That was
as far as he proposed to go that
day. Considerable dissatisfaction
was expressed by the deputation.

—The Weekly Sun comments
thus :—With a flourish of trumpets
the Department of Finance announ-
ces a surplus of $5,648,333 for the
last fiscal year. At the same time
it announces that during the period
in which this surplus was garnered,
the public debt increased by $2,-
986,196, or nearly $3,000,000. It
seems strange that while Mr. Field-
ing can so easily figure out a "sur-
plus" he makes such poor progress
in figuring out a reduction of the
debt. There must be something
wrong in some quarter.

--In more than 3,000 schools in
Great Britain the boys are study-
ing text books on Canada, which
set forth her history, explain the
Dominion's system of Government,
and lay stress upon her natural
resources. The books are supplied
free by the Dominion, and Lord
Strathcona, Canada's High Com-
missioner to the Mother Country,
will give valuable medals next
spring to the scholars who pass the
best examination on them. The
aim is to impress British youth
with the advantage of the Domin-
ion as a field for emigration.
—The London (England) Morn-
ing Post, in commenting upon the
fact that public deposits in Canadi-
an banks amount to $400,000,000,
says it looks to the time when the
fertile acres of the Dominion will
solve the whole question of British
food supply, which is the night-
mare of so many zealous politicians
in England. here, surely, adds
the paper, is room for British capi-
tal and energy to solve a problem
not merely of the greatest import-
ance to the internal development of
the D omini n but

the wel-
fare of the empire as a whole. Tis
solution would be facilitated by the
conspicuous loyalty of Canada,

Gently been afforded,
CANADA'S CENTURY.
Tito editor of the Monetary
Times, in writing on "National
Stock, Taking," has the following
to say regarding the future ;---
The twentieth century is to be
Canada's century. There is no
doubt.of it ; rumblings of the com-
ing changes are to be heard even
now. It is even recognized in
Great Britain. Just as the greatest
material development the world
has ever seen took place in the
United States during the nine-
teenth, so in her turn Canada in
this the century which is only just
now passing its first milestone must
make her hit. Are we ready for
the new era? Or are weSO tightly
clamped in the old rut, jogging
slowly along with down cast unim-
aginative eyes fixed on the imme-
diate present and the obvious, to
such an extent that the unrolling of
events finds us unprepared to take
full and -quick advantage of our op-
portunities ? Worse still, are we
so closely bound to the policy of
laissez faire, of doing nothing be-
cause of some slight chance of los-
ing a dollar, as to see all the re-
sults and the profits of unravelling
the stored -up wealth of our country
falling into the hands of foreigners?
Too often in the past, while we
stood with folded hands, waiting,
like Micawber, for something to
turn up, people from the United
States have come in, have seen
their chance, and have conquered
it. We would be the last to pro-
pose the prevention of the develop-
ment of any of our resources by
Americans or any one else. But
why not give ourselves the first
chance—not by putting obstacles in
the way of others, but by being a
little quicker ourselves. According
to the report of an interview with
Sir Christopher Farness, he seems
to have been greatly impressed on
his recent visit with the wonderful
potentialities of Canada in the way
of mineral production, shipbuild-
ing, etc., but he also hinted that
we, as a people, were a little slow
in taking advantage of them. To
this a reply was made to the effect
that it was all very well for a man
to talk in this way who had com-
mand of unlimited capital, as had
the Americans, but that Canadians
had no such stored -up funds of
money upon which to fall back. Is
it nothing to the purpose, we would
ask, that Canadians have $471,-
000,000 in cash on deposit to -day,
having saved up, according to the
Banking Return, a million dollars
per week during the 52 weeks of
1901, at the beginning of which
they had $418,000,000 saved up.
And may not Canadians obtain the
coveted further surplus funds by
the use and profitable turnover of
such money as they have at present,
in developing the country's hidden
treasures, and, by so doing, obtain-
ing sufficient money to develop still
more wealth. This procedure is
what is building up the United
States. Let ns rid ourselves of
picayune ideas, of a penny-wise,
pound-foolish policy which teaches
us never to spend a dollar unless
we see two dollars actually waiting
to take its pla•cei Let us take a
broader, more enlightened view of
our responsibilities, untainted with
a petty habit of lcoTling at the im-
mediate expense rather than at the
greatness of the end to be achieved.
And soon will come the day to
which we all look forward, when
Canada shall take her place among
the great nations of the world,with
a large, happy and prosperous pop-
ulatiorc thriving on the results of
its own development of her own
resources,
THE TURKISH QUESTION.
(Tho Weekly Sun.)
It appears very much as if the
weary tale of Turkish iniquity,
after being long protracted by the
selfish jealousies of the Christian
powers, were at last drawing to a
close. Russia and France seem to
understand each other and to be in
earnest. That humanity should;be
rid of this monstrous incubus of
tyranny, corruption and murder,
and that the fair regions which
Turkish rule has blasted, should
be restored to happy and fruitful
life, is so earnestly to be desired
that we should not be extreme to
ask by what hands the deliverance
is wrought. Yet it will be unfor-
tunate if Great Britain is unable to
play a leading part in the settle-
ment. The suspicion naturally
arises that Russia and France have
reckoned on her embarrassment.
One consequence of the South Afri-
can war is, and was sure to be,
sympathetic disaffection in Ireland;
another is temporary loss of influ-
ence in the general councils of Eu-
rope. If the catastrophe of Turkey
comes, Great Britain can hardly
have a regiment to send to the
scene. Nor will all Captain Ma-
han's demonstrations prevent a
Russian army from marching into
Constantinople, or Russia, when
Constantinople is in her hands,
from commanding the Dardanelles,
and thus altering the balance of
power in the Mediterranean.
Prance probably aims at acquiring
in Syria, the long-standing mark of
her ambition, an equivalent fcr
England's acquisition of Egypt.
Austria, herself in the throes of
dissolution, will not be in a posi-
tion to interfere; while Germany
is probably looking for her share of
the wreck of Austria. The le f llie

Speaking of Capt. McDougall of the C.
P. R. steamer, Athabasca, whose mother
lives in Teeswator, the Bruce Herald
says:—The Captain obtained considera-
ble prominence during the past summer.
Heedless to his own life and regardless
of what the probable .consequences to
himself, his crew, and the property un-
der his charge, might bo, he ran along
side of the steamer Preston on Lake Su-
perior and after a struggle lasting ten
hours during a violent storm succeeded
in saving the lives of eleven persons who
..were aboard, at the very imminent risk
of losing his own boat and the lives of
all on board. Only One mall was lost in
the transfer, the life of a sailor being
crushed out as the two boats came to.
gether in a heavy sea. The rescue was
one of the most daring in the history of
the lakes and it is expected the matter
will be brought to the attention of the
United States Congress during the ses-
sion now going OIl.
Deaf as a Door Nail.
Not an uncommon expression, but
quite true of many people whose hearing
can be perfectly restored by inhaling Ca-
tarrhozone. It quickly relieves and
cures all kinds of Catarrh, Catarrhal
Deafness, and diseases of the respiratory
organs. Don't give up hope till you
have tested Catarrhazone. It has re-
stored lost hearing to thousands and can
do the same for you. Catarrhozone is a
vegetable antiseptic, pleasant and con-
venient to use, absolutely certain to
quickly benefit and ultimately cure.
