-If the account is correct, the
strenuousness and the abounding vi-
tality of President Roosevelt have
been expressed by no one with more
aptness than by his own wife. A man
in Washington was trying to secure a
plaster cast of the President's face.
"How long would it take to make the
cast ?" Mrs. Roosevelt asked. "Twen-
ty minutes," was the reply." "That
settles it," answered Mrs. Roosevelt.
"No human power could induce my
husband to remain still for twenty
minutes."

-Political rascality has been for so
long a part of the average election
campaign, and has run so little risk of
punishment, that the average elector
has come to regard election crooked-
ness as a joke. If Hon. Mr. Whitney
can demonstrate to the Province that
election rascality is a crime, and that
the perpetrators of such acts must lay
their account for stern prosecution,
and severe punishment, he will be
doing the greatest public service that
has been done in a generation. The
sight of afew election crooks doing
time in striped suits is a spectacle that
is very urgently needed to bring the
public sentiment of this Province back
to the proper point of view.
-It is a startling fact, but a true
one, says The Review of Reviews, that
every year 120,000 children die in Eng-
land and Wales before they have at-
tained their first birthday. They are
cut off on the very threshold of life.
Besides this annual° slaughter of the
innocents, the massacre which made
King Herod. infamous pales into in-
significance. Think of it! One hun-
dred and twenty thousand infant lives
sacrificed every year to neglect and
ignorance ! Out of every 100,000 in-
fants born, 17,139 do not live to see
their first birthday, and nearly 25,000
succumb before their fifth ; while of
the total of 500,000 annual deaths, one
quarter are of children who have
lived "but a handful of days."

Says the Bobcaygeon Independent -
"Surgery is being carried to such a
point that the time is near at hand
when a man will go into dry dock
periodicaIIy and have his inside fixing
overhauled and renewed. At the re-
cent meetingof the Medical Congress,
two dogsaand two cats having in their
bodies transplanted kidneys, formerly
belonging to other dogs and cats, were
exhibited and the operations explain-
ed and discussed. Limbs of eats and
guinea -pigs had also been cut off and
put on again. It is on record that a
man is living who had his stomach
taken away, and is doing very nicely
without it. It is not at all improbable
that when a man's kidney's get used
up, he will simply have them replaced
with a pair of sheep kidneys, and go
on again fresh as ever. •Surgery is ac-
complishing wonderful work, with the
aid of modern antiseptics."

-Such wrecking of a (supposedly)
solid financial institution as the On-
tario Bank suggests that our govern-
mental inspection of Banks is sadly
deficient. There must be a lack of
thorough insight and oversight of
monetary institutions, vise a Bank's
millions could not disappear, as mist
before a midday sun, and no one be
conscious of it until the crash comes.
Falsifying of statements and reports,
or misappropriation of a million or
more dollars should be impossible by
any one (even n, general manager) or
if not impossible, should be easily de-
tected before either embezzlement or
fraud or mad speculation goes sa far,
as to cause aBanking institution to
go down and out of sight in so short a
time. A thorough inspection by a
keen, practical accountant at regular
intervalss would surely detect the leak-
age before; the whole institution goes
to wreck. Such occurrences unsettle
the public confidence, for if one Bank's
assets disappear, those of another
may go the same way. It is gratify-
ing of course to know that the guilty
parties shall have to appear in the
Courts but that cannot undo the in.
jury dons. Perhaps the investigation
may shed some light ori the nietboda,
puttied by aome in charge of our
f(nanafal institutions. Foe stealing a. 1

The temperance people of Grey and

-Two stallions belonging to Mr. T,

but not seriously hurt.
-Michigan farmers will, it is ex-
pected, receive $0,000,000 for sugar
beets this year, and, that Colorado will
produce 1,500,000 tons --a. third more

are testing 13 to 20 per cent, sugar,

-The Canadian Pacific Railway has
just given notice that it will book
travellers for a trip half way round
the world, to be made in 30 days, with
only two changes. This means 12,000
miles under one flag and one
ticket, with baggage checked right
through.
-A pitiful case is reported by the
Montreal Herald. A Iran named Le-
clair, a railway brakeman, was sued
for $7, the amount of a month's rent.
After the case had been disposed of, it
was found that the man owed $18, in-
stead of $7, $11 having been added in
the shape of legal fees, bailiff's, and
.court fees. The unfortunate man at
the time was lying in the hospital
with both legs, his arm, and the
thumb of his left hand off, the result
of di accident. His wife was without
money, and without any immediate
prospect that her husband would be
,able to earn any for her. She manag-
ed, however, to serape up a dollar.
which she paid into court in partial
satisfaction of the claim. It was not
enough, and so a seizure was put upon
the Grand Trunk Railway Company
for a few dollars of wages that were
still coining to the mutilated brake-
man. Corporations are said to have
no souls, but the Grand Trunk lawyer
replied with a statement of the un-
fortunate brakeman's condition, and
a quotation from Burns' poem, "Man's
inhumanity to man makes countless
thousands mourn." Not even Burns,
however, was able to check the pur-
suit of the pouhd of flesh, and the
Grand Trunk, reluctantly enough, we
are told, paid into court the money
required. This happened in a Chris-
tian country.

The first locomotive ever seen in the

A man named Archer, and two sis-
ters, from near Cleveland, were here
this week to try and locate the burial
place of a brother, who was interred
in the unsurveyed part of the ceme-
tery some 40 years ago. It seems that
the family resided here in 1866, on
Victoria St., and the brother was kill-
ed in a railroad accident. As no re-
-cord is kept of burials in this part of
the cemetery, they were not able to
locate the spot.
In 1896 one of our professional men
advanced a small stun of money to a
friend in the county town; some time
afterwards
this friend sent

put to one side and considered by the
recipient of very little value, But the
other day on looking over the daily
paper he was quite surprised to see
that the stock was worth $10 a share,
thus making the certificate worth $1,-
