As a general rule, it is the man who earns the money and the woman who saves it • • • • A LARGE proportion of the Savings Bank accounts opened with THE BANK OF HAMILTON are opened and con- ducted by WOMEN. Out of the household income, .the thrifty wife quietly lays aside, in the safe custody of a chartered Bank, as much as can well be spared from the husband's income. When unforseen reverses come, or a home—or other commend- able thing is desired -quiet savings (hardly missed from the regular income) are available. It is surprising how rapidly Systematic Savings grow. Many accounts made up of small deposits, reach a total that is quite important, and which makes the family INDEPENDENT when extra money is needed. THE BANK OF HAMILTON specially invites the Sav- ings Accounts of married women, and has inaugurated a system of caring for such deposits, that is both SIMPLE and CONVENIENT. Money may be deposited or withdrawn in any amount at any time ; and, when starting a new account, a simple enquiry for the Manager will secure all desired information, and every attention to requirements.

R. has at least 250 miles in operation, and purposes ex- tending it. There are about ten thou- sand miles of telephone despatch in the United States. ---Parliament is called to meet in three weeks, and nothing is ready. The extension to the buildings is not completed, and many of the existing rooms are torn to pieces. Not one department has its estimates ready, and those for the civil service cannot be prepared because the reorganiza- tion under the Civil Service Act has not taken place, though the Act be- came law three months ago. Mr. Fielding, Mr, FIsher and Sir Fred.. Borden are on the other side of the Atlantic. The finance minister is still trying to make arrangements to bor- row more money and cannot be back for the meeting of parliament. Yet it was decided three years ago that par- liament should thereafter be called in November. —Quite recently, at a meeting of the Academy of Medicine, Dr. Alexander Marmorek communicated a new dis- covery he had made in the treatment of tuberculosis, He has proved the presence of tuberculosis bacilli in min- ute specimens of the blood, etc., by means of chemical reaction with the Marmorek serum. A few drops of animal blood are used as an agent, which if they remain undissolved indi- cate the presence of the disease. The method has been tried in 600 cases, with only a small percentage of possible error. His method en- ables the very slightest indications of disease to be detected, thus placing the physician in a position to deal with the illness in its earliest stages and greatly improving the chance of cure, —Mr. Graham, Minister of Railways, announces retrenchments on the In- tercolonial. He is cutting off trains and reducing the force at Moncton. There was nothing about this at elec- tion time, though the Intercolonial was then, as now, run at a loss. On the contrary, the number of efn- ployees was greatly increased at cam- paign time. During.> the election campaign the government policy, announced in New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Quebec was the purchase of Intercolonial branch lines and the extension of the railroad and a general increase of the establishment. The votes were polled and now the minis- ter is reducing the establishment, and in place of taking over private roads, is said to be considering the question of turning the whole government sys- tem over to private parties. —The way the Province is going along ti':: line of reduction of licenses, is indicated by the following figures of licenses issued by the Ontario Govern- ment for recent years.' Year. Licenses 1904 2,836 1905 2,891 1906 2,518 1907 2,487 1908 estimated 2,390 1909 estimated 2,270 These figures for the last three years include about 40 club licenses 'which, while selling Iimier, were not pre- viously included in returns. Also about 25 wholesale houses. So that the tavern and shop licenses for 1909 will be lees than 2,200; of these about 250 will be shops and the bars will be considerably less than 2,000. In 1874, the earliest year given in the Provin- cial Licenses Department's record, the licenses issued totalled 8,185. WIRELESS FOR THE LAKES. THE VALUE OF AN IDEAL. No matter how menial the work you may be compelled to do at the moment, or bow disagreeable your task, if you have a taste for something better and hold your Mind steadily and persistently toward the things you long for, this desire will lead you to the light, if you are faithful to the end and do not drop it, No matter how shall your begin- ning if your work is honest, or how discouraging your prospects for ad- vancement, if you have a taste for something higher and keep struggling toward the light you have, you will surely come out all right. But what can you da with a youth who does not aspire, who will not look up, who persists in grovelling? There is no future far him. unless he turns about face. Darwin says that "in the evolution of the eagle desire to ascend, to fly heavenward, preceded the ap- pearance of the wing." Human wings, the ability to ascend, are the result of the aspiration and the desire to go higher. A person who is obliged to give in unfortunate environment is often pro- tected from the Iow aims or vicious ideals of those about him because of his taste for something better. There is no protection, no spur to ambition and progress, like a lofty aim, a noble purpose. Both success and failure are charac- ter revealers. Wealth brings out a man's weaknesses, because he can af- ford to indulge in all sorts of luxuries, fads and fancies. Failure also brings out one's weaknesses. If a man is a coward, if he lacks stamina and grit he will show it when adversity over- takes him. What a man does after he fails is a good test of the man. It shows how much line there is in his back bone. When everything goes smoothly, when there is no want in the home and plenty of capital to run the busi- ness, it is not difficult to ba cour- ageous. It is when the pinch comes, when one is driven to desperation, when he does not know which way to turn, when failure stares him in the face af- ter he has done his level best, that a man's character is revealed. This is the test that will bring out the real man—his power or his weakness. One of the strongest proofs of char- acter is the ability to remain cheerful, serene and hopeful under fire. It is very easy to be pleasant, bright, op- timistic, when one enjoys robust health, but it takes heroic qualities to be so when poor health knocks ambi- tion; when we are conscious of a great message for the world but have lost our property, or when we see a busi- ness which we have worked hard to build up, slowly strangled by the great trusts or the changing conditions. In January there will be a Ft neral test of the Great Lakes Radio Tele- phone Co. system. By the opening of navigation there will be 75 wireless telephone stations around the great lakes, with a grand central at the Soo and at least one thousand litke steam- ers will be fitted with the apparatus. The authority for this statement is Edwin S. Oattinian, of Chicago, engin- eering director of the Radio wireless telephone De Forest system, The system, Mr. Caminan says, is the salve as that with which the American battleship fleet is equipped, and by means of which Admiral Evans and other -officers were able to talk to sash other over the waters. The Bri- tish Admiralty dike and the channel fleet and Italian Warships are also equipped with the system. Long dis- tance telephoning over the ocean is wf future development confidently look- ed to. Chiefly the system is on the toning fork system.

A. bunch of imbibers had been out late, and decided to wend their ways home. They stopped in front of an imposing residence. After consider- able discussion one of them advaned and pounded at the door. A woman stuck her head out of the second - storey window and demanded none too sweetly:—"What do you want?"'
