Both were Con- servatives. Woods was also the can- didate of the Prohibitionists. Mc- Keown won by a majority of 100. ** -According to the report issued by the Ontario Education Department, there are 719 High school teachers in Ontario at the present time. Of these nearly 24 per cent. are women, which is an increase of eight per cent. in three years. There has also been a substautial increase in salaries. The highest salary paid was $3,500, and the average of principals was $1,303, and assistants $975. The average salary of men assistants was $1,091, and of women assistants $762. -This is the way the Weekly Sun regards the approaching distribution of constituencies in Ontario for the Legislature :-"A readjustment is cer- tainly called. for. The rapid develop- ment of New Ontario renders neces- sary an increase in the number of members allowed that part of the Pro- vince, but this should be provided for by a corresponding decrease in the representation of some of the existing constituencies. We now have almost the even hundred Inetnbers in the Legislature, and the amount expended under the head of indemnity is over $100,000 per annum. There are quite enough representatives to carry on the business of legislation even for a Province with as extensive an area as that possessed by Ontario ; all that is needed is a reapportionment of the electoral divisions." ** -The Montreal Witness which is generally regarded as a staunch Liber- al organ, makes an urgent appeal to Sir Wilfrid Laurier to clean up his Cabinet and to put the grafters and the immoral men out. The Witness says: -"No one can deny that the Ca- nadian Liberal party has fallen upon evil days. Once the Liberal party was the foe of privilege, the enemy of corruption, the friend of all the sturdy virtues that go to the upbuild- ing of a nation's character, It came into power in support of these ideals. He is a bold man who would deny that of late there have been many departures from them and a general lowering of tone, which acts as dry rot. Once before, when Sir Wilfrid Laurier returned from a European triumph, he found a dis- tinguished member of his Cabinet en- deavoring to lead the party in ways outside the path of its true political faith. When he came he did not shrink from risking a personal friend- ship, and the loss of a lieutenant who had aided hint again and again in victory. There are those who believe that he will be not less "brave to- day." ** -Cement is now being used for more purposes than ever, and new openings for its usefulness are con- stantly appearing. Not long ago, it was announced that cement fence posts were being made. Now comes the announcement that concrete doors and shingles are the latest applica- tions. The body of the door is made of finely woven wire mesh suited in size and strength to the purpose for which the door is used. Over this the concrete is poured, and the door when molded and dried can be smoothed off like wood. The doors can be stained any color. The door is not on the market yet, and it will doubtless be a long time before it or any other simi- lar door will be in sufficient supply to meet the demand for it. Another in- novation is the concrete shingle. These shingles are only a little heavier than slate, and not much more expen- sive than those of best wood. They are practically indestructible, and in the end much cheaper than shingles of any other material. They may be made a. variety of designs, are rein- forced with afetal skeletons, which terminate in loops at the edges for nailing to the roof. The shingles be- come more durable with exposure to the weather. Doubled Up With Crimps. Stomach feel like an infernal ma- chine and you want relief mighty quick.

The Owen Salind Thnes says "Owen Sound Is suffering more today from pel;jury than it is from the booze habit. Owen Sound is not different from other towns and places,. The total disregard for the sacredness of the oath is going to get some people into a lot of trouble here and here- after. Referring to the recent trial at Boise, Idaho, the Hamilton Spectator has this to say :-"It is a disgraceful fact that perjury is largely on the in- crease, not only in the States but in our own good Canada. It may be that modern theology has removed part of the scare that compelled old- time liars to tell the truth when under oath ; but it is more likely that the almost total neglect of those in au• thority to take steps toward punish. ing even the most obvious cases of perjury, has had more to do with the increasing carelessness of witnesses. However that may be, the fact re- mains that perjury is very common. Almost every trial of a man for sell- ing Iiquor illegally brings forth much perjury. An election trial is general- ly full of perjury. Prosecutions of gamblers are highly productive of loose swearing, and the critne is all too prevalent in all manner of court cases. Why do the authorities ignore these facts ? Why do we not hear, even occasionally, of some perjurer being punished, or, at least, put on his trial? After all, the fear of the penitentiary is the great and compel- ling influence to the average witness, and as he seldom or never hears of a. man being put on trial for the crime of perjury, he loses that fear, and tells his story to please his friend or his employer. It may be difficult to prove perjury in many cases, but it is often difficult to prove murder or horse stealing ; and there is no good reason why the perjurer should go free be- cause of the difficulty in the way of convicting him, and the murder and thief be obliged to stand trial in spite of the gravest difficulty in securing proof. A few samples in this good city of ours would, we think, go a long•way toward providing for truth- ful evidence in future. The experi- ment is worth trying." flews `Mems -David Rilssell has sold the St. John Telegraph and Times to John McKane of St. John for $250,000, and it will be run in the Conservative in- terest. -There is a movement at present to erect a monument to the memory of the late John Gillies, for many years member for North Bruce. Mr. Gillies is buried in EldersIie but his grave is unmarked by any memorial. -The boys on the Wiarton penin- sula have some funny and hair-raising experiences. Just imagine, Sunday evening, while looking for his cow in the bush, Geo. Voght stepped over a log and landed on the tail of a big black bear. It was hard to tell which was the most scared, the bear or the boy, for both made tracks in different directions. -The farmers in the vicinity of Orillia are finding a ready market for their products in New Ontario. Geo. McKinnell, one of the gardeners of the district, is quoted as saying that last year he shipped six carloads of stuff, mostly vegetables, northwards, the greater part going to North Bay. The prices received were much' better 'than in Orillia or in Toronto. More than twice the quantity that is now going in could easily be marketed in the North. He says he cannot com- pete in early vegetables, but in all the staple varieties the market is sure. -E, II. Knapp & Son, proprietors of the Greenwood Stock Farm at -Fabius, N.Y., have, says the Holstein Regis- ter, just sold one of their Holstein cows for $0,000. This is said to be the second highest price ever paid for any cow of this breed. This cow recently produced over 100 lbs. of milk in one day, Her record for seven days is 644 Ibs. of milk and over 39 lbs. of butter, and for thirty days, 2,629 pounds of milk and lbs. of butter. She is the fifth cow of the breed to produce over thirty pounds of butter in seven days and over four pounds of butter per day for thirty days. -The Exeter Times reports thusly on the crop outlook in that vicinity :-- Although not apparent at the time, the heavy frost that came about two weeks ago left its mark on the oats. The leaf in many places has turned brown so that many fields present an appearance as if scorched by fire. It will certainly affect the yield. It is also noticed that the straw is very short. Between the frost and the ravages of the wire worm the oat crop this season promises to be a small one. The wheat, which in the spring was thought to be badly damaged, looks better than Was expected and le rapid- ly ripening. A man with the mania for answer- ing advertisements has had some in- teresting experiences, says the Hard- ware Reporter, ite learned that by sending $1 to lA Yankee he could get a cure for drunkards. And he did,. It was to "take the pledge and keep it." Then he sent fifty cents to find out how to raise turnip successfully, He found out; "Just take hold of the tops and Iift." Being young lie wished to marry and sent 31 one -cent stamps to a Chi- cago firm for information as to how to make an impression. When the answer came it read ; "Sit down on a pan of dough." Next advertisement he answered read : "How to double your money in six months." He was told to convert his money into bills, fold them and thus double his money." Nest he sent for twelve useful household articles and got a package of needles. He was slow to learn, so he sent $1 to find out "how to get rich." "Work hard and never spend a cent," That stopped him. But his brother wrote to find out how to write without a pen and ink. Ile was told to use a lead pencil. He paid $1 to learn how to live without work, and was told on a postal card : "Fish for easy marks as we do." Are You Losing Looks or Strength ? Once you were robust, bright and happy.
