In Belgium where the rate was 32i per thousand in 1830, it was less than 28i per 1000 in 1902. Even at that the rate in Belgium is six per thousand higher than in Ontario. • --There is on exhibition in the office of the Canadian Manufacturers' Asso- ciation an ingot of the first refined copper produced in Canada. It is from the works of the Montreal Cop- per Company, Limited, who now have an eight ton plant in constant opera- tion. --.Mr. Tucker has reintroduced its the Legislature bis bill to compel the widening of sleigh runners,. Under the bill, sleigh runners must not be less time four feet apart, outside mea- surement. If adopted,. and it is likely it will be, it is to go into effect on the first of December, 1905, It will not cost a great amount to widen sleighs and the cost of it is soon repaid if it prevents horses crowding as they now do on narrow roads. * • --"Temiskaming• Mining Division" has been created by the Whitney Gov - eminent. Its capital is Iltlile ybury, and George Smith of Mattawa, is to be inspector at a salary of $1,400 per year. The regulations are about the swine as those governing Micbipicoten with some modifications. It includes the territory rich in silver, cobalt ores, as well as considerable to the north. Parties prospecting can do so only under a license costing $10. • • ♦ —It is learned on the authority of one close to the present Government, that arrangement has already been made which practically settles the question of the Pacific terminals of the Grand Trunk Pacific. It has been felt for some time the terminus would be farther south than Port Simpson, and it is said to have been definitely selected at Tuck Inlet on Karen Island, about twenty-five miles south of the points usually regarded as the objec- tive of the railway. Edgar Judge, in at paper read be- fore the Montreal Political Economy Club, on the food supply of the British Empire, expressed the opinion that Canada will soon be in a position to feed not only its own people, but will be able to supply as well the amount the Mother country lutist import. Fifty thousand farmers, he said, raised 70,000,000 bushels of wheat in Mani- toba in 1902 ; two hundred rind fifty thousand farmers, raising the same amount per head, would produce 350,- 000,000 bushels or enough to supply home requirements and British im- ports as well. - • —Statistics of pork packing in Can- ada in recent years have been collect- ed by the Cincinnati Price Current. The reports show that there was an almost steady increase in the pork packing industry in Canada until five years ago, when the returns indicated a total -of 1,491,000 hogs handled by packers during the year ending March 1, 1900. Since then there has been a decline but that year's total has been exceeded the past two years, the indi- cation for the year ending March 1, 1905, being 1,650,000 hogs. The num- ber of hogs sold or slaughtered in On- tario for years ending June 30, is offi- cially stated as follows :-1897, 1,300,- 967; 1898, 1,592,679 ; 1899, 1,875,466; 1900, 2,05"6,049; 1901, 1,973,405; 1902, 1,991,900; 1903, 2,168,598; 1904, 2,240,- 083. * * • —The State Legislative Assembly of New York has passed without opposi- tion the resolution for amending the constitution, so that the State may issue bonds to the extent of $50,000 to pay its share of the cost of improving the highways. The proposition will be submitted to the people next No- vember. • —The soap industry in Canada is growing rapidly ; at the present time some 15 large concerns are in opera- tion, employing in all about 2,000 hands. A branch of the well-known firm whose headquarters are at Port Sunlight near Liverpool, was recently started in Toronto, with an annual capacity of 10,000. * • • —The approaching excursion to Great Britain under the auspices of the Canadian Manufacturers' Associa- tion promises to be one of the leading events of the year. Two hundred and forty passengers are already booked, and the party is distinctly representa- tive as it includes manufacturers from every part of the Dominion. •+ • —A bill is before the Wisconsin Legislature to impose a special tax of $10 per head on bachelors over 30 years of age. If the bill goes through —and it is a significant fact that the great majority of the members of the Assembly are married men -40,000 bachelors will either have to get mar- ried or submit to a special tax. • • —German papers report that the Government of China has granted its first patent. Strange enough this first patent is for an electric lamp which a native of Nankin has invented. As a United States Consular report says, the fact that China has entered upon the granting of patents is of more im- portance than the invention itself. • —During the banquet in the dairy barn of H. E. Cook, Denmark, N. Y., a cow that gave 23,000 lbs. of milk in a year was brought forward by Henry Van Dreser for demonstration pur- poses. Daring his remarks, Mr. Van Dreser said that if one-half of the cows in the State were weeded out and the remainder better fed and cared i for, the result would be increased pro- fits and less work for the dairymen. * • very serious losses which now occur during shipping will be avoided. Loss- es from this cause have been very serious of late years, during which de - horning has been partially carried out. Annuals without horns frequently suffer severe injury from, those which retain their horns. In many cases a quarter or a side of the animal has been wholly destroyed during transit. Mr. Crawford estimates that from 1,000 to 8,000 cattle delivered at To- ronto market during the year show more or less injury from this cause." * * •• • —A new fuel successfully tested at Muncie, Incl., has leen invented by hacob Smith, a glass worker. It is said to possess more Beat units per pound than either coal or wood. It can be manufactured and sold at it profit for half the cost of coal, and it does not smoke except when a strong draft is used. Its success as a fuel for domestic uses was determined some time ago, but not until recently, when it was used beneath an engine boiler. was its value for manufacturing dem- onstrated. The fuel is made largely from the .refuse of the pulp mills, of which there are a nuinber abort Mun- cie. Each mill turns out thousands of tons of refuse annually. The refuse, at combination of soda and lime, is mixed with crude oil, and the finished pr•oduct"resembles putty. It inay be cut with a spade and thrown into a furnace or beneath a boiler. No kind- ling is necessary, for it match touched to it will light readily, the material burning with an intense heat. There etre no clinkers, and the ashes remain- ing after the fire has burned down may be made into a new compound for which Mr. Smith has another use. A bushel basketful of the fuel beneath it sixteen horse power engine at a Muncie factory kept steam up for eight hours. It is manufactured as a plasterer makes his mortar. The Pat- ent Office has called it the Smith fuel. • —Describing a large slaughtering establishment in the United States, where beasts are killed at the rate of 225 an hour, Mr. Seymour Bell, the British Commercial Agent at Wash- ington, says : "The animals are felled, skinned, cut up, and hung in the cool- ing -room in 39 minutes, and are han- dled by twenty Wren during that tune. Hogs are killed at the rate of 550 an hour. They are handled by 125 men in 32 minutes. Sheep are killed at 620 an hour, the slaughtering and dressing occupying about 34 minutes. After the animals are killed the actual work that each man does on any one animal is astonishingly small. Each man has one particular thing to do to each animal, generally very little, and as soon as it is done he passes on to another animal. The work, in conse- quence, goes on like clockwork." • * —A writer in the New York Out- look, gives a pen picture of some of the individuals forming the human stream of immigration which is pour- ing into the United States via New York. "They come up" we are told, "stolidly, steadily, submissively like so many cattle. The dirt is appalling and renders necessary the cleansing once every two hours of the entire building in which the immigrants are confined. In the morning every blan- ket used by them is sterilized and laundried, and the whole gallery, floor, walls, beds, and all, is flooded with hot water and carbolic from a hose." The effect of this stream on American life and institutions is a problem of —In his report to the Provincial ever-increasing perplexity.

Jonathan Miller will soon have his East street livery in excellent shape. He has put in service a beautiful black team which he secured at Tavistock for a good figure, and last week Mr. Miller bought a gray team at Sea - forth. A car load of buggies and car- riages, mostly rubber tired, will arrive from London this week. This week a nuinber of men were engaged along the C. P. R. track that crosses Squaw Island, seemingly put- ting things in order for a general re- sumption of work. It is said ,Contrac- tor Pigott expects to have about 400 men at work along this section by the end of next week, and that there are now over 4,000 men at work all along the line. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The Very Best. "I have been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and want to say it is the -best cough medicine I have ever taken," says Geo. L. Chubb,. a mer- chant of Harlan, Mich. There is no question about its being the best, as it will cure a cough or cold in less time than any other .treatment. It should always be kept in the house ready for instant use, for a cold can be cured in much less time when promptly treated. For sale by all druggists. Clairvoyant - Psychic.
