--The daily income of the Russian
Czar is $25,000 ; the Sultan of Turkey,
$18,000 ; King Leopold of Belgium,
$15,000 ; the Emperor of Austria, $10,-
000 ; the German Kaiser, $8,000 ; the
King of Italy, $6,500; the King of
England, $6,500. Mr. Rockefeller, of
the Standard Oil Co. beats them all,
with a daily income of $37,870.

-There are 1,848 cities, towns and
`villages in the state of Tennessee. Of
these 1,835, all but 13, are living under
laws prohibiting the traffic in intoxi-
cating liquors. Of the 2,020,616 people
in the State, 1,732,737 are now living
under prohibitory laws. Eighty-five
per cent. of the total population of
the State, therefore, lives under pro-
hibition.
-Law reform for the province of
Ontario is to come at least partly by
means of a commission, and that be-
fore the next session of the Legisla-
ture. The Attorney -General will, of
course, have the making of the bill in
the final state, but during the course
of the summer an order -in -Council
will give out the appointment of a
commission made up of some five
lawyers, who will sit about a month
sifting out and taking records of the
systems now ponderous, absolute and
costly in many of the courts.
-There has been an official inspec-
tion of the meat -packing houses in the
United States, and the reports are by
no means conducive to a good appe-
tite for canned meats. Armour, the
Chicago packer, estimates the loss to
the companies by the decreased sales
likely to follow, at 150 million dollars.
Toronto packing houses are to be in-
spected, it being alleged that diseased
meat has been found on sale by the
city butchers. Ugly stories are told
of the dressing of hogs that die in
transit, but no evidence exists that
the carcasses are sold.
-Wholesale dealers are not expect-
ing any advance, for some time at
least, in the price of lumber. The On-
tario Government sold standing tim-
ber recently, near Thunder Bay, for
$7.75 a thousand feet, board measure.
Higher prices than this have been
realized. It is said that it costs $3
extra per thousand to load these logs,
and by the time they reach the mill
the cost is increased to $19 a thousand
feet. Then there is the cutting, and
waste to be allowed, which brings the
price up considerably above the price
that prevailed a few years ago.

-The new railroad that James J.
Hill and his associates are about to
build from Winnipeg to the Pacific
in Canada is not to have any outside
financial support. There will be no
stocks or bonds issued, and all the
money put into the construction will
come from the pockets of Mr. Hill and
his companions. It is said this is the
greatest personal undertaking in the
way of railroad building that has ever
been attempted. Mr. Hill was asked
"Why are you prepared to build rail-
ways in Canada without a bonus ?"
He replied -"Because I find it pays
better,"

-An Ottawa despatch says -"The
dissolution of Parliament at an early
date, and an appeal to the country be-
fore the present system of enquiries
reaches some scandals worse than any
heretofore brought to light, is said to
be not only possible but exceedingly
probable. It is said that many mem-
bers of the Cabinet are endeavoring to
impress on the Prime Minister the
danger of waiting for two years and
allowing the elections to come in their
natural course, whereas, they point
out, a substantial majority could be
obtained from Quebec and the Mari-
time provinces at the present time."

-In 1896 the Dominion expenditure
aggregated a little over forty millions;
to -day, it is well beyond the eighty
million mark, An increase of more
than 100 per cent, in the expenditure
in ten years, with no increase in area,
in the absence of any great emergency
or national undertaking, and with a
comparatively trifling addition to
population, should be sufficient of it-
self to establish proof of the charge of
extravagance. If more is needed, we
have the fact that in the United
States, despite the Philipine folly
and the sudden craze for naval expan-
sion, the national expenditure is only
$7 per head, against $14 per capita in
Canada,
,The 0. P. R. may be termed the
pioneer of Canada's trans -continental
railway, and it is to -day more than
keeping pace with its rivals in expan-
sion of traffic and in growing earn-
ings. It owns many million acres of
land and 12,000 miles of railway, and
to this mileage it is adding largely
each year. It has on the Atlantic and
the Pacific, and in coasting trade,
more than thirty steamships and a
large number of lake and river steam-
ers besides, To these must be added
the two 20 -knot passenger steamships
of 15,000 tolls for the trade between
England and Canada; and more are
to follow.
-The Cabinet has appointed the
hydro -electric power commission of
Ontario. The meinbers consist of :-
Hon. Adam Beck, Al. P. P. for Lon-
don, Hon. J. S. Hendrie, M. P. P. for
West Hamilton, and Mr. Cecil B,
Smith, chairman of the Temiskamiug
and Northern Railway commission.
The two former, as members of the
Government, are debarred from re-
ceiving salaries, but there is a rumor
that the Cabinet may be strengthen-
ed, and a new minister appointed, to
be known as the minister of power,
with a salary equal to that of other
ministers with portfolio. The new
'
commission is empowered to carry out
the Government's policy of supplying
municipalities with cheap electrical
power.

-The Ontario railway and munici-
pal board is now complete and will
hold its first meeting at the Parlia-
ment buildings this week. The Board
consists of Mr. Jas. Leitch, IC. C., of
Cornwall ; Mr. Andrew Ingram, of
St. Thomas, M. P. for East Elgin, who
will have to resign his seat in the
Commons, thus involving a bye -elec-
tion ; and Mr. Henry Norman Kittson,
wholesale grocer, of Hamilton. The
salary of the chairman is $6,000 per
annum, of the other two members,
$4,000, and of the secretary, $2,000.
The members hold office during the
pleasure of the Government and must
give their whole time to the work.
They cannot directly or indirectly
hold railway stock or have an interest
in any device or article, etc., used by
railways, or any stock in utilities sub-
ject to the act. They must not act as
officers or directors of any public utili-
ty or of any company that has power
to invest any portion of its funds in
the securities of railway companies or
public utility companies.
-Prof. Dean, in stating what cows
might do, if properly cared for, gave
the following example :-"During this
past year we had two cows in our
herd which gave over 10,000 pounds of
milk each ; four cows that gave over
9,000 pounds, six cows that gave over
8,000 pounds, and 8 cows that gave
over '7,000 pounds, seventeen cows
that gave over 6,000 pounds, and the
average for the whole herd, good, bad
and indifferent, was 6,062 pounds.
The poorest cow in the herd was a lit-
tle over 3,000 pounds, and the best one
over 10,000 pounds, and what is true
of our herd is probably true of a great
majority of the herds in this country.
Two of our cows gave over 400 pounds
of butter, 10 over 300 pounds, and the
average for the whole herd was 261
pounds of butter. Four of our cows
made us a profit of over $100 over the
cost of the feed, selling the milk at 4c
a quart. The bulk of the milk pro-
duced by our herd is sold at 4c per
quart. Eighteen cows gave $50 in
profit over the cost of the feed."

-The • Weekly Sun says :-"The
North Atlantic Trading Company was
organized, largely through the in-
strumentality of W. T. R. Preston for
the purpose of promoting immigra-
tion from Continental Europe to Ca-
nada. That company has received, in
the form of bonuses on immigrants
who are said to have been sent to this
country through its instrumentality
about half a million dollars. And still
Parlianient and the country do not
know the names of a single member
of the company which has received all
the money. When Mr. Preston was
before the Committee of the House of
Commons on Agriculture and Coloni-
zation he deliberately refused to
divulge the names and Parliament, at
Sir Wilfrid Laurier's command, has
sustained Mr. Preston in the position
taken. There can be no defence for
the Premier's action. The taxpayers
who place money in the Federal
treasury have a right to know not
only the purpose for which every dol-
lar taken therefrom is spent, but who
gets it.
08,011 acmes as compared with April,
1905, when the average price was $5.-
00. The greatest increase in sales
was in the districts of Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
--At the Montreal Conference of the
Methodist Church, the Whitney license
law was, on the whole, heartily en-
dorsed, but regret was expressed at
the 60 per cent. provision in the local
option clause. Rev. Ernest Thomas
strongly endorsed the 00 per cent.
clause, claiming that a decisive public
opinion is necessary to properly sup-
port sumptuary laws, Mr. Abram
Shaw of Kingston, a well known Lib-
eral, supported the 00 per cent. clause.
He urged that the word "regret" be
eliminated from the report, as the On-
tario Government had given the best
temperance measure the province has
ever had.
-As was noticed in the news of last
week, one farmer in Ontario lost
greatly through the ravages of wire -
worms. These can be easily gotten
rid of by a short rotation of crops.
Wire worms flourish in old meadows,
The eggs of the beetles are laid in the
summer about the roots of the grass.
These hatch and the worms feed, in
the ground, on the plants.• It takes
them about two years to change into
beetles. Ili July of the second year
they change to jupae, a stage between
the worm and the beetle. At this
time they are very tender, and easily
destroyed, Plowing at this tune will
break up their cells and destroy many
of them.
