The problem presents some interesting features, however. Is the frog a fish or a sort of game ? If the latter a close season mast be fixed by the provin- cial authorities ; if'the former, then such a season must be established by the Dominion Government.

The imports into the United Kingdom in one week during May were 631 tons, as 'compared with 284 tons for corresponding week last year. When figured in lots of sixty lbs. each, it shows an increase of nearly 13,000 tubs. Last year the increase in Russian butter was over 8,000 tons ; this year it will be materially greater. Russia is already second on the list of butter - exporting countries to England. A very large stock to select from, and we will sell very cheap all through July.

Wire Fencing * * * * —A writer in Gunton's Maga- zine points out a few of the savings. by utilizing what a short time ago were waste products. Cornstalks, for instance, can be made into a certain grade of coarse wrapping paper ; and, by a system of steam- ing, grinding, and pressing, a sort of wood pulp is obtained which can be utilized in various ways. In this crop, however, the waste is still very great. In the oil and sugar industries the manufacturers have made millions of dollars from the successful application of chem- istry to the problems of waste pro- ducts. The Standard 0i1 Company, for example, has opened a dozen different industries. Oils for al- most all imaginable uses are ex- tracted and prepared. The group of dyes and medicines derived from coal tar, generally spoken of as the coal -tar products, is another in- stance of inherent value in so-called by-products. The application of chemistry to mining has been oven more fruitful. It is said that in the past year more gold has been extracted from the heaps of tailings consisting of rocks and crushed stone formerly thrown away as waste, than from new gold mines in this country, with the exception of those in Alaska and the Klon- dike. * —After all the great shipping combine may not be altogether an evil. An American writer argues that the more closely the nations of the earth are brought together in business interests and enterprises the more firmly will they stand against war, or against anything that• will disturb or injure their common welfare. With the lead- ing nations of the earth united in the ownership of a fleet of com- merce, the need of naval arma- ments for the protection of the commerce of each nation will be eliminated. Those interested in building Wire Fence will do well to call on us, as we have all kinds of wire at prices that are right ; we have the celebrated "ELLwoon SPECIAL WOVEN WIRE FENCE," 5o in. high, at a very low price.

Smith & Pethick. * * —In an article on "New forms of locomotion," a recent writer says, that it is only a question of time before the public is educated to the fact that one hundred or one hundred and fifty miles an hour may easily be possible with the use of rails. It is want of control .and not speed that constitutes danger. The freight train running at twen- ty-five miles an hour, with only brakes on the brake -van and en- gine, is more dangerous than an express train travelling seventy miles an hour, but fitted with West- inghouse or Smith vacuum brakes. * * Its a pity to have a good Suit spoiled in the making. The suits we make give en- ttre satisfaction. Give us a trial and be convinced. Webster & Co tipstAirs in Shaw Block, —The President of the C. P. R. announces that by the end of next year the road will not have a wood- en trestle or any other merely tem- porary structure upon 'its line from Montreal to the Pacific, and that throughout the great distance the main line will be laid with 80 pound steel rails. Between Port Arthur and Winnipeg lengthening of the side tracks is being proceeded with rapidly, to such an extent in- deed that the C. P. R. will before very long have a complete double track from bake Superior to the great western wheat -growing sec- tions. This is an enormous under- taking, but the increasing traffic of the road justifies it. Cement Building.

Mak- ing due allowance for barren areas, nearly 200,000 square miles em- braced in 'the coal fields of the country are capable of. producing 1,000,000,000,000 tons of coal. Had the operations in these fields been conducted on the same scale during the past six thousand years these fields would still be undeplet- ed. Thus we get some idea of those vast mineral fuel resources which are destined to perpetuate the industrial supremacy of the country." ** —In the Cosmopolitan for June, Julian Ralph gives a brief sketch of the career of John D. Rockefeller, whom. he considers easily the great- est among American captains of in- dustry. We select a few sentences regarding this remarkable man. He was born in the State of New York in 1839, and his childhood was spent in a family of God-fear- ing, hard-working, rugged, and simple people, whose lives and ex- amples furnished a solid, rock -like foundation for their children to build upon. At the outset he pro- gressed very slowly toward the making of a fortune. Ile earned a quarter as his first wages, for hoe- ing a neighbor's potato patch, He hired out in the summer time to work for the farmers of the neigh- borhood ; when his people moved to Cleveland, he worked as au office boy. In time he cut loose from his home ties and went to St. Louis, where he became a clerk in a com- mission house. He is said to have. saved only $500 by the time he was ready to go into business for him- self ; only $1,000 when he was more than thirty years of ago. He is now said to control vast railway systems, to own every oil car in the land, to possess 20,000 miles of oil tubing, 200 steamers, and 70,000 delivery wagons. Ho employs 25,- 000 men ; and as a financier, an employer, and a power in the world he knows no rival, Mr. Rockefel- •W'ood's Plroephodino is sold In win nr bar end 0, A.

He said :— "A British Government under similar circumstances would resign. No Cabinet would think of holding office under such conditions. In fact, looking to the future, on the mere basis of party advantages, it would be regarded as wiser for an Administration supported by a ma- jority of only one to resign and face the consequences, instead of hanging on, waiting, so to speak, to be kicked out." "I believe that the voice of pub- lic opinion is bound to be heard. With a popular majority of seven thousand votes for the Liberal -Con- servative party, and the evidences coming in every day of a thorough- ly organized attempt on the part of agents of the Government to steal the election, there is very little doubt as to what the result will be. Facts coming to the surface in ev- ery constituency, show that in spite of the great organization of the Government and the large sums of money'used, they would still have been declared defeated on election night had there been an honest count. "In the past bye -elections in Canada and in this province have ordinarily and unfortunately been inclined to go with the Govern- ment ; but this time it is almost certain that the overwhelming voice of the people will manifest itself in a different way." 0* 0* 0* 0* 0 ..yy Goods Ladies'.
