Is made from the finest Nova Scotia Wool,
which is famous for its softness, strength and
elasticity, not found in any other wool in the
world -and Stanfield's is the only Underwear
in the world made from it.
Warm Enough for
the Northwest . .
It is knitted to de-
fy 4o and 5o below
zero, without being
heavy,or clumsy. It
is made for Canadian people, to protect them
against Canadian winters. Imported Underwear
is all right for England, but not for Canada.
The Very Thing
for the Farmer.
When working all day
in e cold, ordinary
underwear is not warm
enough, but Stanfield's
being in special weight and knitted in a peculiar
way, is what he wants. All sizes and weights
to suit anybody and everybody -tall or short -
stout or slim. Every garment fully guaranteed.
Your money back if it shrinks. Wear then, this
winter, and you'll always wear them. Come in
and see them.

-Various estimates have been given
of the crop of 1905 in the Northwest,
hut many of them were made in ad-
vance of shipments. Recent estimates
of the wheat field in Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan and Alberta placed the
total at 88,418,000 bushels.

-Mr. Frederick Shaughnessy, son
of President Shaughnessy of the C. P.
R., and party, are making a tour of
the world. They are travelling by
the C. P. R. steamers and trains, and
will complete thirty thousand miles
travel. entirely on the Company's
steamers and trains. This is perhaps
the only transportation Co. that can
furnish the same extended facilities.
Good for Canadian enterprise.
-There are 85,553 Indians in Cana-
da, of whom 20,850 are living in On-
tario. They are making some head-
way in farming, and the report says
that in so far as it has been possible
to keep a record of them the aggre-
gate earnings of the Indians from all
sources exclusive of interest moneys,
annuities and rentals, have reached
the considerable total of $4,524,773.00,
and thus exceeded those of the pre-
ceding year.

-Of all the deaths in the Dominion,
between the ages of twenty-five and
thirty-five, nearly one half are due to
consumption. It is calculated that in
Canada, at the present time, between
30,000 and 40,000 persons are suffering
from it. It is now believed that the
disease is preventable. It is contract-
ed by taking into the system chiefly
by inhalation, the germs or microbe
of the disease. These germs are only
derived from consumption, or some
other form of tuberculosis.
caliy brought about; it restores the
Met command in India to the civil
instead of the military authorities --a
policy that would have sustained and
re ,aimed Lord. Curzon ; it will forbid
the further importation of coolies into
South Africa, where a practical slave-
ry has been established in the alines ;
and it would cnt down military ex-
penses. A strong cabinet and a policy
of decision under a prime minister
whose chief quality is blunt strength
rather than brilliancy --with these the
Liberals have auspiciously returned
to power.

-In addressing the jury in a per-
jury ease, Judge Mabee said that there
was a great deal of wilfully false testi-
mony, and that, the crime, if proved,
ought to be seriously punished. Jus-
tice Tierney, of a municipal court in
the Bronx, Greater New York, has
abolished the use of the Bible in his
court. Explaining his action, he said :
"I have removed the Bible from use
in buy court. It was a desecration to
use it there. The lying words from
the mouths of witnesses made its use
a mockery, it travesty. I was brought
up to regard it with veneration and
reverence as the Word of God. It is
shocking to find men calling upon the
deity to witness the truth of what
they say -'so help me God' -with a lie
in their ,hearts and upon the lips by
which they profaned the Good Book.
I now swear, or affirm, a witness with
uplifted hand, but it really has no
significance to my mind, I would pre-
fer to let every person tell his or her
story without either oath or affirma-
tion, and then do the best I can to-
ward ascertaining the truth,"

-The expenses of the Province of
Ontario under all heads last year,
were borne out of the revenue, and
still a handsome balance was left in
the treasury. This is as it should be.
The Treasurer, Col. Matheson, has an-
nounced that the receipts for 1905,
apart from the $100,000 received from
the operation of the Temiskanning &
Northern Ontario Railway, which was
reported a few days ago, would be
$000,000 more than the expenditure.
The bonuses on timber will be $520,000
in round figures, so that the ordinary
receipts have paid both ordinary and
capital expenditure.

-It may not be generally known
that litigation is in progress between
the Dominion of Canada and the Pro-
vince of Ontario. Last week, when
the suit of the Dominion against On-
tario, for $1,500,000, was adjourned at
the Exchequer Court, the suit of On-
tario for an increase in the interest on
trust funds held by the Dominion,
from 31, per cent. to 5 per cent. was
begun. This is a long-standing dis-
pute, involving the question whether
certain sums agreed upon were really
trust funds, which might be paid off
in cash, or simply a basis for a per-
petual annuity, calculated at 5 per
cent. In the aggregate the amount
involved is immense. The case is pro-
ceeding.

-In referring to the frauds perpe-
trated in the recent election in Sas-
katchewan, in order to ensure the re-
turn of Liberal candidates, the Regina
Standard says -''The end is not yet.
The people of Saskatchewan have
heard enough to sicken and mortify
them but the ground has only been
scratched. When the complete story
is told, the West Elgin manipulators,
and the Minnie M. navigators, and
the North York machinists, and the
North Norfolk bribers, and all the
other election crooks who made the
Ross Government infamous in On-
tario, will shake their beads and
mournfully acknowledge that they
were only novices. The recent elec-
tion in Saskatchewan witnessed the
worst pr gramme of shameful, cor-
rupt and disgraceful taetics that the
evil wiled of man has ever devised,

-The statesmenof the Japanese
empire are managing its public finan-
ces with skill and care. When the
war began Japanese 4 per cent. bonds
were quoted at seventy-seven. Since
the war they have risen to ninety-
four. A new foreign 4 per cent. loan
was sold two months ago and the
money was used to retire. a 6 per cent.
domestic loan, by which transaction
the government saved a million dol-
lars a year in interest. And their
financiers have played their game well
in this respect. When the great Heb-
rew bankers of Paris became offended
with the Russian Government, and,
of course, later distrustful of it also, a
Japanese loan of $02,500,000 was ne-
gotiated with them. The total in-
debtedness of Japan contracted since
the war began is $675,000,000 -by no
means an excessive sum in comparison
with what they won. The people,
frugal by long training, now with the
whole force of their patriotism turned
to industrial and commercial con-
quests, will doubtless become rich as
fast as is good for their national char-
acter.

THE "REVOLUTION" IN CHiNA.
Goderich.
At the meeting of the County Conn-
ell last week, the resignation of D. C.
McKay as high constable for the
county was accepted, and Major W.
H. Gundry, of Godorich, was appoint-
ed in his stead.
Those parts of the washed away
trestle bridge that can be collected are
being hauled on to the tracts and used
for trestle work, starting from the
south of the abutments built for the
Maitland river bridge.
On the lath of March, the R. W.
Provincial Grand Orange Lodge of
Ontario \Vest will meet in Goderich.
Tho jurisdiction comprises over 600
lodges, so that the attendance will not
be less than 300 and possibly might
run to 500.
There has been no appointment of
an assessor made yet by the 0,ouncil,
and several schemes are on foot for an
improvement in the assessing and col-
lecting system of the town. The peo-
ple at large are much dissatisfied with
the existing arrangements.
Mr. Goldthorpe, the proprietor of
the new power scheme on the Mait-
land river, is actively hustling his -
scheme to develop about 2,600 horse
power from the current of the river,
abort 3 miles from here, using a darn
about 80 feet, which floods about 1,200
acres of land of the townships of Gode-
rich and Colborne. The estimated
cost of the plant is $250,000, ready to
sell power.
The many friends of Neil Mclvor,
who lives near the summer hotel, will
be sorry to hear that he had to have
his leg amputated at the knee on Sat-
urday last. He has had disease in the
bone of the leg for over forty years
and has suffered more or less all that
tine. During the past three years he
has undergone three or four opera-
tions and had all the diseased bone re-
moved. Just when it was thought it
was finally cured, as the bone had
grown up new and solid, he developed
skin cancer over the part and had to
have the leg removed. He is doing
well and it is hoped he will soon be
around again.
Although a large sum of money was
set apart many months since for the
C. P. R. station at this town, its style
and composition has not yet been de-
termined. Three styles for the pas-
senger depot have been prepared, but
which of them will be used has not
yet been decided on. The station will
be at the base of the Lighthouse hill,
facing north probably, and the freight
depot will be to the north front of the
station, so as to be accessible to lake
or vehicular traffic. The last few
miles of the road will show features
of engineering skill in railroad build-
ing and lovely scenery that will be
added attractions to a visit to the
healthiest and prettiest town in Can-
ada.
The Russian revolution stands out
big, not only because of the intolera-
ble condition from which the people
seek to free themselves but because
there are so many millions of them.
The populations immediately affected
by the French Revolution and by the
American Revolution were mere
handfuls in comparison. Now, if the
news that conies from time to time
out of China be true -that there is a
stir among rulers, and perhaps the
people also, which looks like the be-
ginning of a revolution in their policy
and tendencies -then about one half
of the whole human race is in revolu-
tion ; and men now living will witness
such wholesale changes in human so-
ciety as perhaps no preceding genera-
tion has seen.
The stir in China -and all trust-
worthy observers agree that there is
a stir -is not directly to change the
relation of the masses to the classes
but to change the attitude of the em-
pire to all foreign nations. "China
for the Chinese" is the cry -in other
words, an end of exploitation and of
spolitation by anybody, and the build-
ing up of such a national power and
spirit as will enable the Chinese them-
selves to develop their country, and
to hold their own among the nations.
Such an ambition has been awakened
partly by the success of Japan, partly
by the restriction of Chinese emigra-
tion to other countries, but most of
all perhaps by the defeat of Russia's
grabbing policy and the now neces-
sary holding aloof of other European
nations from the same game. The
Chinese are asking themselves, too,
why the Japanese should exploit their
commerce and industry. Why should
they not develop theta themselves and
make the profit? They have been
from immemorial times better mer-
chants than the Japanese. Why
should they not Iearn the use of mod-
ern industrial methods and machin-
ery? The trade of the Japanese with
China, is yet small, as ours is small--
insignificant in comparison with the
trade that must be developed by some
manufacturing people. For instance,
nobody knows the quantity of cotton
' that is grown in the interior of China,
picked and spun and woven by hand
and:lsed wholly at home.
It is conceivable that by such a
study of modern military, educational,
commercial and industrial methods as
eome of the leaders in China are now
making, the nation may in time be
modernized by Chinese as Japan hits
been by Japanese. For the poselbili-
ties of the yellow races have not even
yet been elearly understood by the
Western world ; and when as high an
authority aa I)r. Morrison, the long-
tirne Pekin colretpondent of the Lon-
don Times, writes of an impending
revolution the imagination Is stirred
to think of the prodigious changes go-
ing on in the world•-iThe World's
