-Japan's flour imports are creeping
up to the $10,000,000 mark. She has
now thirty ports open to foreign
trade.
*
- Canada exhibited at St. Louis 91
varieties of apples, 34 of pears, 24 of
plums, 16 of peaches, 70 of grapes, 20
of small fruits.
*
- Queen Alexandra has made an
appeal for the unemployed poor of
England, and has herself given $10,-
000 toward their aid.
*
-Canada sells Great Britain four
out of 101 million dollars' worth of
butter she buys. Great Britain buys
93 per cent. of Canada's butter, 90 per
cent. of cheese, 76 of poultry, 99 of
bacon.

-India, that is +the British India
and the native states under British
influence, is 1,766,597 square miles in
extent and has a total population of
291,000,000 or nearly 41,000,000 more
than A had twenty years ago.
*
- Canada has six hundred Mounted
policemen. They patrol an area as
large as the continent of Europe.
They are sub -divided into 80 posts,
from Hudson's Bay to Rocky Moun-
tains, from United States boundary
to Arctic Ocean.
* *
- Canada has a militia force of 46,-
000; this force could be expanded to
a war strength of 100,000 as a first line
of defence. During the Boer war
Canada sent 8372 leen to South Africa.
Of these 224 died, and 252 were
wounded.
-What is claimed to be the largest
cargo of Indian tea to reach England
has arrived in the steamship Clan Col-
quhoun. The total carried was 37,000
chests, or 3,92'2,000 pounds. By the
Clan Robertson, a still larger cargo,
amounting to over 4,000,000 pounds of
tea, is arriving shortly.

- Vocal or instrumental music as a
therapeutic agent has been found by
a prominent English physician, to be
a valuable aid in cases of melancholia,
insomnia, hysteria, family affliction,
business reverses, delirium, pain and
mental or physical fatigue. A Ger-
man physician has also successfully
used music to lessen the distress and
after-effects from anesthetics.

-Canada's mineral production in
1904 was sixty million dollars, and
during the last twenty years it is said
that Canada bas produced 600 million
dollars' worth of minerals. Notwith-
1 standing this, our mineral resources
areas yet only in the first stages of
their development. In 1901, this coun-
try produced over sixteen millions in
Igold alone, and to -day Canada ranks
fourth in the world's gold -producing
countries.
-Sometime ago, the Japanese Gov-
ernment sent an agent to Canada and
bought a large number of Ayrshire
and Shorthorn cattle in Ontario.
These were taken on the long journey
across Canada to Vancouver; they
had a rough sixteen day passage of
the Pacific, a rail journey across Ja-
pan and finished with a fifty -mile
walk to the Government farm, where
they arrived in such fine shape that
everyone was surprised, and finally
they stood a. searching series of health
tests. It is needless to say that On-
tario cattle stand high in the estinia-
tian Or the Japanese.

-The farmers of Canada* are thirty outlay the Dominion has ever made.
The public revenue was $71,180,082.
There is tints a deficiency of $7,5170,626.
This suui will be added to the debt,
which is now larger than it was at
any period in our history. Mr, Field-
ing, in his budget speech a few months
ago, estimated that he would have a
surplus of nine millions of dollars.
He is seven millions and a half behind,
instead of nine millions to the good.
In order to make the situation appear
to be somewhat better than it really
is, the Finance Minister has resorted
to a bookkeeping manoeuvre that
does hits little credit. The expendi-
tures, of course, are divided into reve-
nue or current outlays, and capital or
permanent disbursements. Into the
latter neconnt vast amounts have been
artificially thrown. The railway sub-
sidies, the huge bounties, the losses in
running the Intercolonial on a politi-
cal basis -all these expenses have been
charged against capital that the regu-
lar expenditure may appear shall.
But the facts will out, and what we
are confronted with now is an expen-
diture of $78,750,000, and an income of
seven and a half millions less. So far,
we have not in the accounts the
charges of the Laurier end of the
Grand Trunk Pacific. When that
gigantic folly begins to make itself
felt in the Finance Department, the
figures will undergo another change
for the worse."
million dollars richer by the exports
of butter and cheese front Canada this
year. Never in Canada's history have
there been such immense shipments,
nor such sustained high prices. Of
cheese, 2,0:4,767 boxes were shipped,
which at the average price of ten cents
a pound means $21,077,600. The but-
ter shipments amounted to 701,803
packages, which at the average price
of 211 ceuts means $8,412,000,

-Four by-elections for the Domin-
ion Parliament were in progress as we
went to press hast week. They result-
ed as follows :-It1 North York, Ayles-
worth, the new Postmaster -General,
was elected by a majority of 500 ; ma-
jority at hist election, 962. In Antigo-
nish the Liberal candidate was elected
but the majority cut from 809 to 217..
In West Lambton, Pardee (Liberal)
was elected, but majority reduced
from 447 to 200. In Wentworth,
Smith (Conservative) was elected by a
majority of 19.

-County Crown Attorney Curry of
Toronto is thoroughly investigating
the Plumbers' combine, by which
thousands of dollars are said to have
been illegally charged citizens. The
Attorney is said to be hot foot after
a lot of other Toronto combines. All
right, go ahead, Air. Carry, but possi-
bly it will be the same in this case, as
in many others ; the little thieves will
get caught and the bigger ones escape.
Perhaps there is no bigger combine in
the world than the Standard Oil Co.,
that lays every user of coal oil under
tribute. Secure within its entrench-
ments, this giant combine has but to
raise the price of oil one cent a gallon,
to bring millions more to its coffers.

- A peculiar machine has been made
in London, England, called the "Enig-
marelle". It is on exhibition in the
London Hippodrome, and appears like
a bulky man six feet tall, weighing
198 pounds. Its feet are of iron, the
legs. are of steel and wood, and the
arms are of steel and copper, while
the body is an insulated wire frame
cased with fiber and rawhide, and the
head is of wax. It is moved by three
spring and four electric motors, with
fourteen storage accumulators. In its
back is a switchboard containing the
rheostat, fifteen switches, three levers
and three automatic brakes. Though
the motions are rather jerky, the ma-
chine very cleverly walks with long
or short steps, nods its head, waves
its arms, rides a cycle, and writes - a
name on a blackboard,

-Very little, if any, improvement
can be noted in the condition of affairs
in Russia. Political upheaval, social
disorder, labor troubles and anarchy
render Russia a pitiable spectacle to
the world. The present uprisings of
the masses and collapse of govern-
mental authority were inevitable.
The twentieth century is too late in
the world's history for autocratic rule
to prevail, without indignant protest
from the people. It may be, that out
of the disorder and bloodshed, there
may come to the Russian people, good
government and peace within their
own borders, but the struggle is by
no means at an end. At present, the
world has a sad. exhibition of a mighty
power, first defeated by adespised
enemy and now apparently crumbling
to pieces, because of corruption, cruel-
ty and arbitrary rule.

-Many farmers who would like to
take an extended course in agriculture
are prevented from doing so by the
lack of time. For such, the Ontario
Agricultural College is making a
splendid offer. Commencing Jan. 8th,
1906, a two weeks' stock or seed judg-
ing course will be opened, in which
the most possible instruction in judg-
ing live stock and grain will be given.
This course has been very much ap-
preciated in the past by those who
have attended. Commencing the
same date, a four weeks' course in
poultry -raising will be given, Fpr
these two courses special railroad
rates may be secured, and the instruc-
tion is given free by the college. This
should place them within the reach of
all. On Jan. 2nd, a three months'
course in dairying will be opened, in
which full instruction in cheese and
butter -making will be given. This
course is also free, and should be taken
advantage of by many of our Ontario
cheese and butter -makers.

-Prof. Goldwin Smith is possessed
of a large fund of information on
world-wide topics. Recently, he
wrote as follows :-"Australia, it is to
be feared, is going to give the world a
warning at her own expense. In her
politics the most advanced ideas have
prevailed. Socialism and femininism
have had full play. Socialism has as-
sumed a distinctly political form, and
revolution in the policy of the Com-
monwealth was brought about the
other day, as it appeared, by the
woman's vote, Collective owpership
and control of industries have beep
tried to the fullest extent, Govern-
ment owns workshops, it owns hotels,
It seenie in a fair way to becoming
the general employer, Compulsory
arbitration has been tried, Pensions
have been voted to the aged. The re.
sults are seen in a territory of thou-
sands of miles unsettled, a crowding
of the people from the land into the
cities, an arrest of immigration, a fall-
ing off in the birth-rate, a mountain
of public debt, flight of capital and
even of savings,"
