-Russia will begin her awakening
by adopting the Gregorian calendar
instead of the Julian calendar, which
• used. been previously The latter
tel
is 13 days behind that of any other
civilized country, and has been the
cause of big confusion. The Academy
of Sciences has already submitted a
plan to shorten the Russian February
by 13 days and to begin March 1 iu
the new style.

-The Montreal Gazette remarks
thus :-The Toronto Globe intimates
that next session may see the increase
in the parliamentary indemnity clone
away with, as well as the pensions, to
ex -ministers. Evidently the fear of
the electors is strong upon the miuis-
terial candidates and their friends,
when they are thus promising. If the
voters in the bye -elections return
some opponents of the government it
may, to save itself, make its actions
as good as its representatives' words.

-Russia is still in a. most deplorable
condition. The Government seems
powerless to restore order and safety
of human life, and the people are slain
by the thousands. Blood -curdling re-
ports reach this country, and it is pro-
bable the worst is not known. Wom-
en butchered in the streets, children
torn apart and wholesale massacre
frequent, are some of the horrors now
being endured in that unhappy coun-
try. Defeated on land and seams her
empire honey -combed with nihilism,
and revolution sapping the founda-
tions of safety, Russia's day of reckon-
ing seems to have arrived and she is
suffering for past misrule, autocratic
government and innumerable cruel-
ties. Pity that the people should
have to suffer for the misdeeds of the
autocrats.
* *
-The Russian revolution will great-
ly weaken the influence of Russia in
Asia, and possibly cause a disruption
of her empire there -to the great ad-
vantage of England and incidentally,
perhaps, of the world at large. The
overthrow of the autocracy, the sud-
den and terrific removal from the Czar
of the imperial glamor which has en-
veloped him, the disclosure of his
weakness, his helplessness, is bound
to have a profound and disturbing
effect upon the Tartar chiefs of Cen-
tral Asia. They may rebel, or they
may make up their minds that it will
pay best to favor Britain instead of
Russia. In any case, Britain stands
to gain, and the Indian empire is safer
from Russian aggression. If condi-
tions in Russia were even now settled,
it would take years to recuperate her
energies. In the meantime, the Brit-
ish empire in India is safe, especially
in view of the Anglo -Japanese treaty.
•
-C. B. Smith, chairman of the Tern-
iskanting and Northern Ontario Rail-
way Commission, has recommended
to the Government that the first sec-
tion of the Temiskaming Railway -
the 100 miles from North Bay to New
Liskeard -be operated by electricity.
' This recommendation is made after a
trip to the Continent and England,
made for the purpose of studying
long-distance electrical railway sys-
tems operating with high voltage al-
a• ternating currents. It is thought
' that the first section should be electri-
fled as quickly as possible, particular-
ly as it runs through valuable forest
reserves, which are in constant dan-
ger of fire from engine sparks. There
are good water powers along the
whole line from which motive power
could be obtained at a comparatively
1 snail cost. The opinion of the com-
e missies is that there is less need of
electricity as a. motive power on the
I second section of the line, which runs
through a rocky country, with little
timber, but where the grades are not
heavy.

-When it was said that Japan pur-
chased peace by waiving her just
claims upon Russia, it was not, only
forgotten that the new Anglo -Japa-
nese treaty had just been signed, but
that es a matter of fact the negotia
tions at Portsmouth resulted in Japan
a/Nuking valuable railways as well as
the control of Korea, and the Por
Arthur peninsula. The total of reit-
way mileage formerly in Mistime
hands. which now passes to japan, is

-A bulletin recently issued by the
Dominion Dairy Commissioner con-
tains the following, which is of in-
terest to every farmer :- Authorities
agree that the average production of
Canadian dairy cows is not much, if
any, over 3,000 pounds of milk a year.
That individual herds show notch bet-
ter results only goes to show the pos-
sibility of general improvement in
this direction. On the other band,
we find that the reports from 483 Dan-
ish creameries (over one-third of all
the creameries in the country) show
an average yield per cow of 5,351
pounds a year in 1903. Again it is
recorded that 1,014 herds in one pro-
vince of Denmark averaged over 6,000
pounds of milk per cow in 1903, and
628 herds yielded over 7,700 pounds
per cow, other herds going as high as
11,000 pounds and over. Special at-
tention is drawn to the fact that these
records are taken from the regular
dairy herds of the country and not
from special or "fancy" herds. Are
Canadian dairymen going to remain
content with such comparatively poor
results when it is clear that so much
improvement may be made with a
little intelligent effort ?
* *
-The Prime Minister of course
takes credit to his Government for the
recent prosperity of the country. Is
it to the Government that we owe the
fertilizing rain and the ripening sun ?
Has any visible impulse been given to
industry or commerce by the coercion
of the Northwest, by the Indemnities
Act, or by the payment to the leader
of the Opposition ? Transparent as
the fallacy is, it is perpetually in use
for electioneering purposes, and sel-
dom fails of effect. The fact rather
is that in our case, as in that of the
United States the defects of Govern-
ment are counteracted and the system
is sustained by the general industry
and integrity of the people. if the
Government of the "Stand -pats" in
in the American Senate was upheld
only by its own merits, a catastrophe
would be near. A catastrophe would
be near in our case if our prosperity
depended on the powers at Ottawa.
What is true, is -that fullness of
bread is apt to produce indifference to
principle, and blind us to the faults of
Government. Taken up with the
happy work of reaping abundant har-
vests, people regard invasions of pub-
lic right with an apathy which after-
wards they may have reason to de-
plore. -[Weekly Sun.
* *
-Premier Whitney, in reply to a
deputation from Waterloo county, in-
timated that the Ontario Government
might possibly apply the principle of
the good roads policy to town sewer-
age -in other words, that it might
contribute from the Provincial trea-
sury a portion of the money necessary
to instal a sewerage system in minor
urban municipalities. The Weekly
Sun, in referring to this matter, says :
"There appears to be quite as much
reason why the Government should
aid in meeting the cost of local sewer-
age systems, as there is for the Gov-
ernment bearing part of the cost of
local education orlocal administration
of justice. The health of the com-
munity is of as much importance as
public education or the administration
of justice, and in scores of smaller
towns -as in Orillia at the present
moment -there is serious danger of
an epidemic of typhoid or diphtheria,
owing to lack of means for removing
filth which carries contagion. With-
out Provincial assistance, our educa-
tional facilities would not be as effi-
cient as now, nor would the adminis-
tration of justice be as effective as at
present. With Provincial assistance,
as an incentive to local effort, the sys-
tem of drainage in smaller towns
would be greatly improved, and with
corresponding advantage to the health
of the community."

-Every event in China now be-
comes of increasing importance, for,
the integrity of the empire at last as-
sured, the first real chance for develop-
ment is come. There are many signs
of an awakening, and even of the be-
ginning of definite policies. Delega-
tions are going abroad to study the
ways of the Western world -military
men to study English and Continental
war methods and establishments ;
public men to study the parliamen-
tary practices of other eountries; and
a company of diplomatists and mer-
chants is soon to arrive in Ameriea to
study trade conditions and to have
What influence they can in shaping a
new treaty between their government
and the United States. The sons of
important Chinese families are going
in increasing numbers to the schools
of other countries. Especialiy are
they numerous in the Japanese uni-
versities. Law students, engineers,
mining engineers and other students
are on their way from Chinese insti-
tutions to pursue their studies in the
United States or in Europe, as they
Port may decide. All these events go to
show tett China is waking up, goaded
doubtless by the example of Japan,
helped of coupe by the feeling of
sedulity that the empire is not regain
to be the peey of Europe, and perhaps
under the guidance, more or less di-
rest, of the Japanese themselves, who

mercial development and industrial

INCREASE OP INSANITY.
(Montreal Standard)..
Dr. Burgess is not an alarmist, but
he takes a very grave view of the in-
crease of insanity in the Dominion.
This increase is, indeed, remarkable.
In older countries, where the con-
trasts of wealth and poverty are agon-
izing, where the struggle of life is
always severe, and where a grinding
poverty is the normal experience of
vast numbers of our fellow -creatures,
we Wright expect to find, what is act-
ually the case, that insanity is always
on the increase, In the Dominion,
however, where comfort is widely dif-
fused, where hope everywhere pre-
vails, where the mind is free from the
dread which haunts congested peoples,
one would expect that wholesome and
encouraging physical conditions would
have their corresponding effect on the
mind, with the result that we would
have a strong sane and happy people
living out their lives under the very
best auspices. Dr. Burgess gives a
reason for the increase of insanity in
the Dominion. Canada, he states, has
been made the dumping ground for
the degenerates of Europe. While
there is a slight increase of insanity
among the native-born Canadians,
the chief increase is among those of
foreign birth. Canada has a haw by
which all immigrants are examined as
to physical condition. This is not
rigorously enforced. Even if it were,
there might, with a certain fitness of
physical condition, be the Went germs
of degeneracy, of which the sequential
outcome would he insanity. An espe-
cial protest is made against the prac-
tice of sending out very young chil-
dren (foundlings) to this country from
Great Britain, as these, for the most
part, are the offspring of degenerates
and are all too likely to show -at least
in considerable numbers -tokens of
insanity as they grow up in life. Dr.
Burgess calls strongly for preventive
measures.
-The new bank building at Monk -
ton, which was blown. down a few
weeks ago by the strong gale of wind,
is being re -constructed, an amicable
arrangement having been arrived at
among all the parties whereby the
work could be proceeded with.
