—Attention with regard to im-
migration into Canada is largely
monopolized by the new -comers
into Manitoba and the Northwest.
It will surprise some people to
know, therefore, that, according to
the report of Hon. E. J. Davis,
Commissioner of Crown Lands for
Ontario, the number of immigrants
who bought tickets to Toronto and
western Ontario points during the
year 1903 was no less than 12,725.
In the previous year the number
was 6,567, and in 1901 it was
2,520. In 1903 the land sales to
actual settlers in New Ontario con-
sisted of 81,440 acres, besides 1,381
farms of 220,960 acres in all in the
shape of free grants, and 320,000
acres in the form of 2,000 military
land grants.
• —The advance into Tibet is
England's way of thwarting Rus-
sia's intrigues at Lhasa. Both na-
tions realize the importance of
having a direct influence over the
Grand Lama, for his political im-
portance is so great that it must be
considered in any attempt to build
up political influence in China. If
Russia were to be victor in the
struggle with Japan, she would
have China at her mercy and India
hemmed in. While Russia was
distracted in Manchuria, England,
therefore, determined to get con-
trol of the- most powerful single
factor in Chinese affairs that was
within reach. Should Russia win,
there would be something to offset
her success, and if she were to be
defeated, England would still be
by so much the more influential
than before.—[World's Work.
—A recent writer in an, Ameri-
can Review thus describes the Czar
of Russia—"He is melancholy by
inheritance and by reason of the
suspieious life he must lead: He
can scarcely be called effeminate,
but his manner is shy, and his
voice soft and low like a woman's.
He was sincere in his proposal of
the Hague tribunal, for he is peace -
loving. His mother has an un-
usual horror of war. It is said
that his Ministers purposely over-
work him. They burden him with
details in order that he may not
have time to give to questions of
larger policy for the empire's needs.
He is an overworked, melancholy,
home -loving, peace -loving man.
The present war came before he
knew it, owing to the stupidity of
Admiral Alexieff, and the con-
temptuous attitude of many Rus-
sian officials towards Japan.

—The Caledonia (Ohio) Enter-
prise gives us some interesting in-
formation about a prohibition town
in Pennsylvania. It says: "Penns -
burg, a town of about 1,500 popu-
lation and located in the northern
part of this county, is the healthi-
est town. in the United States, ac-
cording to the health statistics just
published. During the last year
there were only twelve deaths,
which is less than one per Dent.,
and of these two were due to old
age and three to infant disorders.
Pennsburg had a remarkable year.
It had not a single unemployed
person, no strikes, lower taxes
than ever before, no arrests, no
lawsuits, and no scandals. The
cause of this is plain. There are
no saloons. Bet the town has
three churches, a public, high and
private schools, three newspapers,
many small factories, street lights
and a water plant. Every resident
is a church member and almost
everybody lives in his own house."
—The age of seventy is no long-
er significant. Many men of eighty
of to -day are as well able to work
as the men of seventy were a half
a century ago. Sir William Har-
court is retiring from public life at
the age of seventy-seven. At this
age Gladstone was in the thick of
a great contest and continued in it
for almost a decade. One of the
great citizens of the State of Kan-
sas, Dr. Richard Cordley of Law-
rence, is entering into the second
half century a pastorate. ry of In
the current discntision regarding
the frequent breaking down of men
who carry the administrative bur-
dens of the world, it is not to be
forgotten that the average length
of human life increases and that
the average of the term of service
et many great workers lengthens.

dividualimmunity Idea andhe "ilitllil t

—In the month of February
past, the Order of the Victoria
Cross may be said to lutve celebrat-
ed its jubilee. It was in February,
1851, that the first Victoria Cross
was conferred. Rear -Admiral Lu-
cas, the recipient, is still alive.
The Admiral was but a young man
when the honour was conferred
upon him for throwing overboard
a live shell that bad dropped on
deck during the coarse of the cam-
paign in the Baltic against Russia.
At the present time, 208 persons
possess the Order, of whom 68 rep-
resent the late war in South Africa.
—Another process for the manu-
facture of peat coal, which, accord-
ing to its promoters, threatens to
revolutionize the world's coal trade,
has appeared. The peat is first
subjected to a process of dehydra-
tion by beating fans, is then disin-
tegrated electrically, without loss
of any of the valuable properties
which it possesses. It is then
moulded and pressed and is ready
for use. According to the report,
the actual cost of producing one
ton of peat is 5s., and the product
is said to be equal in every respect
to Welsh steam coal, costing over
8s. at the pit's mouth.
—The World's Fair at St. Louis
is now open and will remain so
until December 1st next. To show
the development in machinery
alone since the Centennial Exposi-
tion of 1876, it is necessary only to
mention one circumstance. The
great (then considered so) Corliss
engine that supplied the power was
of 300 horsepower. The engine
that does duty at St. Louis World's
Fair has 8,000 horsepower, and
could under pressure develop 12,-
000 horsepower: Development and
increase along other lines has been
equally as wonderful. The rail-
way on the grounds that runs from
building.to building, is seven miles
long. All the indoor part of the
Centennial Exposition could be put
in one of the many buildings of the
St. Louis Fair.

—The extraordinary purchasing
power of money within recent years
seems to be undermining the moral
principle of the American people.
It cannot be too often or too in-
sistently reiterated that there are
yet many things which money can-
not buy. The public is vexed and
disappointed when men take ad-
vantage of office -holding to rob our
cities. And of late it is coming to
be commonly reported that the
same thing often takes place in
private business, that employers,
especially corporations, must ex-
pect buying and selling agents to
pick up a good deal in the way of
bribes or fees. Extravagant and
ambitious wives who press their
husbands beyond the limits of
legitimate incomes are taking tre-
mendous risks. In both public
and private affairs honesty is still
the best policy. — [Exchange.
LABOR AND CAPITAL.
The two great parties in the con-
test now going on in the world be-
tween labor and capital should
come and are to come together in
close relationship. The coming
together will result not from formal
rules but from the application of
great human principles. The un-
ion will be vital, and not made of
by-laws.
Among the principles whichbot`h
the capitalist and the laborer are
to recognize in their relations are :
(1) Each man is to make the
most of himself. His body is to
be strong, his mind able to think
clearly, his conscience to decide
moral questions rightly, his will
prompt to act, and his heart able
to love. Each man is to be the
largest man.
(2) A. second principle is the
principle of liberty. This princi-
ple allows and demands the de-
velopment, not only of one's self,
but also of others' individualities.
Under the principle of liberty ex-
ists the right of combination of
either capital or labor.
(3) Another great principle re-
lates
elates to the appreciation of values.
Both the laborer and the capitalist
are to recognize that character is
more than money. Ideas, feelings,
knowledge, the sense of the beauti-
ful represent forces of greater
worth than money.--- [Evening
Post.
U. S. BEET -SUGAR PROGRESS.
(Farm ere' ,Advocate,)
Hon. Jas. Wilson, United States
Secretary of Agrieultnre,in an ad-
dress before the American Beet-
sugar Association, at Washington,
D. C., April 11th and 121h, said
there was no good reason why they
Should not make their own sugar.
Their policy was to make the tt. S.
independent of other countries in
regard to the necessities of life.
Sugar came from the atmosphere,
and it wag bad policy to send 8100,-
000,000 worth of grains, that took
so much food from the soil, abroad
to Europe for sugar. It was better
to get the sugar out of the wind
that blew over the United States.
Seven years ago only about 30,000
tons of sugar ar
was made out of beets
in the t'. S.; last year 241,000 tons
were made. Wherever the factory
got sufficient beets the industry
was profitable. Too mach expense
was devoted to band work in the
field, instead of horses and ruaehin-
ery. He intimated that the best
beet sugar would yet be grown on
the Pacific Coast. Quality, ton-
nage, and economical production
were the problems to be solved.
The industry in the States was
over the worst places, and he pre-
dicted the time was not far off
when they would bo hunting for-
eign markets. These remarks
should be encouraging to those
who are promoting this industry in
Canada as a profitable branch of
agriculture and a competitor with
the monopolistic sugar -refining in-
dustry.
THE FARM LABOR SITUATION.
(Pawners' Advocate,)
Mr. Thos. Southworth, Director
of Colonization for Ontario, has re-
ceived from farmers applications
for help at the rate of fifty per day,
and since the first of the year bas
had about 4,000 such applications.
Last year he placed some 6,000
immigrants with farmers. This
year there has so'far been a slight
increase in the number of arrivals,
and they have been of a superior
class of intelligence, although large-
ly inexperienced, so far as farm
labour is concerned.
Farmers are beginning to realize
that the housing problem has to be
coped with before there will be any
permanent relief from the difficulty
of obtaining labor. An increasing
number of farmers are now offering
in addition to wages, as an induce-
ment, cottages and gardens to their
laborers, with free fuel. Mr.
Southworth says he could have
filled all such positions with agood
class of Scotch immigrants had he
known earlier.
