--It seems as if thebirth rate is de-
creasing in all civilized countries. 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,-

—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

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy The Very

"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.
