Southworth, Direc- tor of Forestry for Ontario, stated that, aside altogether from Algonquin Park, the forest reserves in Ontario, that is, the territory withdrawn from settlement under the provisions of the Forest Reserves Act, amounts to 16,395 square miles, or 10,493,000 acres, "It would be rash," he added, "to esti- mate the revenue that could be deriv- ed from the present reserves within the next few years if it was needed or desired—$75,000,000 is a low estimate of the value of the merchantable tim- ber now standing on the present re- serves, but as the idea of a forest re- serve is to secure perpetual revenue and timber supplies, we will consider this question from the standpoint of the future and without regard to the present crop of mature timber. I ant convinced that, ander proper forestry management, the whole of this pine growing territory should produce at least a gross annual revenue of 75 cents per acre. This amount per acre applied to the proposed reserves of 4,000,000 acres would mean a gross revenue from the provincial perma- nent forests of $30,000,000 per year." —All parts of Africa, except Abys- sinia, Morocco and Liberia, are con- trolled directly or indirectly by some European power. French Africa is about equal in area to half the United States. •RR —The first passenger train has suc- cessfully passed through the Simplon tunnel in the Alps. The tunnel, it will be remembered, is 124 miles long, and its construction cost over 100 lives and four million pounds sterling in looney. RRR —The order of the Railway Com- mission calls for the comanencement of the new Union station in Toronto by February 24, 1906, and its comple- tion in three years. The station is to cost at least a million dollars. The cleaning up of the site has com- menced. R•R —The State railways of Switzerland are all to be converted to electric trac- tion. The railways cover 1,520 miles of route, 242 being of double track. The enormous waterpower of the country will be utilized as far as pos- sible for the generation of electric. energy. • —The revenue of the Dominion dur- ing January, 1906, amounted to $6,377,- 651.08, compared with $5,692,281.61 in January, 1905. For the 7 months end- ed January 31, 1906, the total revenue was $11,254,818.43, compared with $40- 822,859.82 during the corresponding period of 1901-05. Expenditure on capital account during January, 1906, was $1,197,028.42, and for the 7 months ended January 31, 1906, $6,751,016.17. R• R —Seven hundred small country schools have been abandoned in the State of Indiana since the movement toward consolidation of country schools began some years ago. These schools have given way to 240 consoli- dated schools. Reports show that of 01 counties reporting, 43 agree that, after a fair trial, they are in favor of consolidation. Nine counties are against it. An average of 8.312 chil- dren were transferred to consolidation schools every day during 1905, at an average daily cost of $52.4.83, and at an average cost of $1.68 per day per f R • UndertakingWalker Bros. & Button —fie Montreal Gazette has this to promptly ompt rOxford county in favor of a rural free fully en Furniture Dealers and Undertakers ! .nail delivery.

King Edward VII is one of the most heavily insured sten in the world, No one can estimate what amount the insurance companies will bo called upon to pay at his death. Lord Rothschild's premiums are about $40,000 annually for a total in- surance cover of about one and a quarter millions, The Earl of Dudley is nearly a million dollars. Mr. Geo. Vanderbilt's insurances ag- gregate about five millions. The late King Humbert of Italy cost the insurance companies seven mil- lions and a half at his death. It is said that the present King carries $3,500,000. The Get Ulan Emperor is n participa- tor in life assurance to the extent of five million dollars. The Czar of Russia is known to carry four millions, but he is also a continual "risk", for temporary as- surances taken out by panic-stricken Russian stockholders. His eldest daughter, the Grand Duchess Olga, is insured for two and a quarter mil- lions, the Czaritsa for a million and a quarter. Many distinguished ladies carry large policies. Lady Curzon has about half a million.— [The N. Y. In- surance Journal. tention should be able to demonstrate it. If the people who are doing the talking were to get together they might be able to operate such a ser- vice without Government assistance. • R insured for RRR —According to statistics presented at the recent Forestry convention, there were in Canada in 1905, 56 pulp mills and 38 paper mills. Besides the mills in actual existence at the close of 1905 there are now in course of •erection 6 pulp mills, with a total ca- pacity per day of about 630 tons, and 8 paper mills with a total daily capaci- ty of 375 tons. These mills manufac- ture all grades of wood pulp, and most varieties of paper ranging from com- mon wood board, straw board and building papers, to fine book, writing, bond, ledger and coated papers. They not only supply the bulk of the home market in certain lines, but of recent years the paper Inills as well as the pulp mills have developed an export trade. In the last fiscal year there was exported Canadian wall papers to the amount of 248,571 rolls valued at $23,053, and other papers to the value of $1,768,020, while pulp to the total value of $3,399,158 was exported to the following countries :—Great Bri- tain, United States, France, New- foundland, Belgium, Australia, Bri- tish East Africa, Japan and Bermuda. Of these countries, the United States took from us pulp to the value of $2,- 694,12.2, Great Britain $680,199, and France $14,168. Within the Iast half of the calendar year the shipments to France have notably increased. The Blood Is The life. Lacking in courage—out of joint with everything—scarcely on speak- ing terms with even fair health. Such low spirits are pitiable. Your brain is fagged, vitality so exhausted your constitution is well nigh ruined. What you need is Ferrozone, that great vitalizer and nutritive tonic. It's by making flesh and blood, by in- fusing iron and oxygen into the system that Ferrozone helps ; it re- pairs weak spots, iustiils new life in- to worn-out organs—makes you feel like new. Ferrozone lifts age from the old and imparts resilience and buoyancy to the depressed. Be man- ly, ruddy colored,—cast aside weak- ness and enter the happy life that comes from using Ferrozone. Fifty cents buys a box in any drug store. i —Canada secures from the poultry- yard a yearly return equal to $14.13 per family, the eggs yield a value of S9.60 every year, the poultry killed or sold for export a value of $L28, and the stem of $3.25 represents the value of hens and chickens in active busi- nese. The banner Province in this respect is again Prince Edward Island, with a total of $20.69 per family, closely followed by Manitoba with $17.74. and by Ontario with $16.50, while Nova Scotia follows in the rear with but $8.39; the Province of Que- bec has $9.84.

The report of the inspector of liquor licenses for the year 1904-5 was laid on the table of the Legislature recent- ly, by Hon. W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secretary. One of the striking feat- ures of the report is the reduction in the number of licenses, and the in- crease in the number of violations of the law and in the amount collected in fines. Last year there were 2,836 licenses of all kinds, or 63 less than in 1004, a falling off of 3,849 licenses in thirty years. There were 2,516 tavern licen- ses issued in 1904, as against 2,577 in 1903, a falling off of 61, while there were 298 shops in 1904, or two less than in 1903. For three years the number of wholesales has been the same -2'2. The total number of commitments to county jails for drunkenness during 1003 were 4,157, an increase of 567 over 1001, and an increase of 1,170 over -190.`x. York county heads the list with 1,83.2, or 257 more than a year ago. Carlton county comes next with888, an increase of 01 compared with 1004, and Nipissing takes third place with 127, or 48 more than in 1901. There have been only six years when the commitments for drunken- ness numbered as many, or more, as during the last year. The total revenue for the past year was $637,782.58, a decrease of $11,830.- 32, compared with the previous year. - Tlrtre was paid to municipalities, $207,8'25.44, or $4,8777.70 less than in 1001. The amount paid for inspectors' salaries, commissioners' expenses, etc., was $09,374.87, and $13,777.81 was charged up as "sundries," leaving an unexpended balanee of 0;291.8$, an increase of $3,795.91 over 1004.
