Sanctum Paragraphs.
New Zealand is in advance of many
countries in its legislative enactments.
Quite recently a bill has been in pro-
gress there for the election of a new
Upper house by the Mouse of Itcpre.
seutatives ; it contains a clause by
which women electors are eligible to
election as members of the Upper
House. The bill has passed the com-
mittee stage, when the above clause
was adopted by 37 to 20 votes.
—Canada's trade agents in Aus-
tralia, in reporting upon trade condi-
tions in that country, state that $15,-
000 worth of butter was exported to
Canada last year. This is a rather re-
markable condition of affairs. Cana-
da, a great dairying country, cannot
produce enough butter to supply the
local demand. And yet we pay out
thousands of dollars of public funds
every year to promote dairying.
—The question of redistribution of
constituencies for the Ontario Legisla-
ture will soon be under consideration.
It is pleasing to lovers of fair play to
be informed on the authority of a
Cabinet Minister, that any attempt at
a gerrymander for political purposes
will be avoided. County boundaries
will be adhered to, and while the de-
velopment of New
Ontario requires
es
,4 new constituencies to be created thete,
it is not likelo that there will be many
radical changes in the older parts of
the province. The Liberal Opposition
is to be largely represented on the
Committee. Shoutd the method thus
outlined be followed in the rearrange-
ment of the constituencies, the Whit-
ney Government will not only mani-
fest a desire to be fair, but will set an
example that may have its influence
in future redistributions.
AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Seaforth, Ont., Aug. 17.—In one of
the most disastrous fires that has
lap
-
pcued here for some time the V. L.
Southgate clothing hang factory was com-
pletely destroyed. The fire occurred
at about two o'clock this morning,
and despite the best efforts of the fire
brigade the clothing Was so complete-
ly ignited that the whole place is now
a mass of smoking ruins. The loss will
be fairly well covered by insurance,

ployment this morning. Two boars
earlier the salt block took fire, and
was damaged to the extent of a few
hundred dollars. Two huge store-
houses were also on fire about the

firebugs were at work,

a team from Ontario county, by a
score of 3 to 0. The work was bril-
liant and the play fast, while the
rough play was altogether lacking.
The visitors brought many supporters
with them, and the excitement was
so intense at times that it was difficult
to keep the spectators off the field.
Friday afternoon Brussels team goes
to Green River to play the finals, and
their supporters are perfectly confi-
dent that they will secure the cham-
pionship.

Hints For The Home,
To test ground coffee, place a tea-
spoonful of the coffee in a wino glass
conteing water, If a part floats and a
part sinks it is undoubtedly adulterat-
ed. When frying fish of any sort a
little salt should be sprinkled on the
base of the pan when it is hot and the
fat is boiling. The fish can then be
easily turned without being broken.
When cooking chops and steaks in a
fryingpau or gridiron, never thrust a,
fork into them to turn them. If you
do the juice will run out and the steak
or chop will be hard or dry.
Lirnogue's China reduced in price
just now.—Saunders.
A New Bridge.
County Commissioner Patterson
and other officials were in town last
week regarding the new bridge to be
built on the Belgrave road near town.
The old wooden bridge that has served
its purposes for many years must now
come down, and give way to a better
and more up-to-date structure. Mr,
Chas. Barber is building the cement
abutments, In the meantime, a tem-
porary roadway has been made
through the fields to the east, neces-
sitating driving through the river.
Look For The Comet.
The new comet is seen at its best
about 3 o'clock, and is very beautiful.
It can be seen to good advantage by
an ordinary field glass or good opera
glasses, and shows a, length of tail of
about 30 inches when seen through
such glasses, with an irregular ending,
the upper part of the tail being longer
than the lower. It is situated in the
northeast almost due north of the
Orion group. Those who know say,
that those of us who live three years
or so longer may expect to see a
comet compared with which our pre-
sent visitant is scarcely worth men-
tioning. This wonder of the skies is
"Halley's Comet," which, after its
mighty circuit through space, has for
centuries paid us regular visits at an
interval of about seventy-five years.
On its last appearance, in 1835, its
brilliant disc and flaming tail, span-
ning the heavens like an arch of fire,
created the greatest excitement,

High School "Commencement."
Wingham High School Commence-
ment exercises have been arranged to
take place in the evening of Friday,
August 30th, in the Town Hall, and a
most interesting program is being pre-
pared. The successful pupils at the
Entrance, Senior and Junior Leaving,
and Forms 1 and 2, will be presented
with their certificates. The Minister
of Education has been invited, and is
expected to be present. Invitations
will also be sent to the members of
Parliament, the prospective candi-
dates, resident ministers, the Warden
of the county, Reeves of adjacent mu-
nicipalities, and the School Inspectors.
Of course a half-hour's address will
not be expected from each of these,
nor will each speaker be expected to
cover minutely all the ground from
the Creation to the "wreck of matter
and crash of worlds," so that the ad-
dresses are not likely to be so numer-
ous or lengthy as to be wearisome.
To enliven the evening, there will be
vocal and instrumental music. Fuller
particulars next week, Devote that
evening to the High School "Com-
mencement,"
Buffalo Home Week.
No day in Old Home Week, with
the possible exception of McI{inley
Day, will be more notable than Cana-
dian Day, Wednesday, September 4th.
A parade of 1,200 Canadian troops, a
lacrosse match for the championship
of America (Canada and the United
States), a rowing match on the Pan-
American lake in Delaware Park—
these are a few of the big events
planned for Canadian Day. The
Mayor of Buffalo has invited Premier
3, P. Whitney and the Mayor's of To-
ronto and Hamilton to come to Buffalo
for that day. The 1,200 Canadian
troops will not only parade on Wed-
nesday afternoon, but they will take
part on Thursday in the dedication of
the $100,000 monument erected to the
memory of President William McKin-
ley, a man beloved and revered by the
liberty-Ioving citizens of Canada, as
well as by those of his own Iand.
Buffalo has not yet forgotten, nor will
she ever forget, that the first floral
wreath to be placed upon the marble
shaft was put there by the colonel of a
regiment of Canadian soldiery, the
Governor General's Foot Guards of
Ottawa. Reduced fares on all rail-
