"Bring ye all the tithes into the
storehouse" (v. 10). Besides the free-
will offerings to the Lord, the Jews gave
three tithes -one for the tribe of Levi,
one for the service of the tabernacle and
one every third year for the widows and
orphans. The Levites -gave their tenth
for the priests. A spiritual writer says
"It is no small perversion of Scripture
to apply this passage wholly to spiritual
consecration, but if men would take it
as it reads and begin. to glee tithes it
woul(t prove the keystone in the arch
of full conseeration." Nathaniel Cobb
began by giving a fourth and endeil
with three-fourths. He gave away forty
thousand dollars. Richard )3axter says,
"I prosper most when I give most. My
role is to live frugally, to lay out none
on need-nots; to serve God in any place
upon what he allows me to do all the
good P can with all tbe rest." John
Wesley's income the first year was 80
pounds. He kept twenty-eight and
gave away two. The second year it
was sixty pounds. He still lived on
twenty-eight and gave thirty-two. When
his income was one hundred and. twenty
pounds he continued to spend twenty-
eight on himself and *gave ninety-two
to the Lord. At his death he left
nothing but his clothing, his books and
his carriage. It is estimated that be
gave away $100,000. "If I will not
opea you the windows of heaven and
pour you out a blessing, that there shall
not be room enough to receive it." (v.
10). God takes from us that he. may
give to us. He asks us to "give" that
there may be "given unto" us, "good

BliADSTREET'S ON TRADE.
Montreal. -But little change has taken
place in trade conditions here during the
past week, The volume of goods moving
is large on account of the near approach
of the close of navigation. The ex-
ports of grain continue large, but much
will have to go from U. S. prdts. There
is a healthy tone to wholesale trade here,
but no very great business is doing nor
is likely to be moving until after the
Christmas holidays. Country retail
trade is fairly active and seating orders
fain Dry goods men are still making
great preparations for a large and brisk
spring trade,. to which indications con-
tinue to point. The orders for that
season are much heavier than usual at
this time of the year. General trade
conditions in all lines appear to be
sound, but there is a growing feeling
that the prosperity of the country has in-
duced some merchants to speculate rath-
er too heavily on the chances of a con-
tinuance of this state of affairs. For
this reason credit is not everywhere as
free as it has been.
Toronto. -General trade conditions
here continue satisfactory, and the out-
look for the future has lost none of its
hopeful aspect. The drygoods trade is
particularly busy and, while the houses
are taking stock, they are sendin,g out
large shipments of holiday goods. Spring
orders are a little quiet, retailers being
too busy to pay much attention to this
just now, 'but expected advances in wool-
ens and linens make heavier buying in,
these lines..., Hardware lines are gener-
ally active and unusually late open
weather has caused a big demand for
builders' supplies. The grocery trade is
fairly active. Values in all lines are
generally steady to firm. Ontario col-
lections are good, but there is still com-
plaint about those from the west. West-
ern orders, however, are large, and. the
feeling seems to be one of confidence.
Quebec. -The cold weather of the past
few days bris stimulated business and
the dement' for seasonable wear com-
pares favorably with that of last year.
Active preparations are being made for
the holiday trade, and with seasonable
weather a good business is anticipated.
The season of navigation, which has just
closed, has not been as good. as expect-
ed owing, no doubt, to the lull in the
timber trade.
Winnipeg. -Mild weather has given a
quieter tone to retail trade throughout
the country. But with frosty weather
an improvement is to be expected in this
respect. Trade is still affected by the
tardy arrival of freight shipments. Or-
ders for spring goods continue large. Col-
lections are still somewhat slow.
Victoria and Vancouver. -The demand
for wholesale lines all along the coast
shows some improvement. The sorting
tmde marly active and the outlook is
for a continued good business. Van-
couver is still enjoying real estate activ-
ity that seems to approach the style of
it boom, although Many solid business'
men there say it is merely prosperity.
Hamilton. -The movement in holiday
goods continue heavy in all lines, and
for the time sprieg trade is being left
in the batkground. The movenient of
sorting lines continues fairly good and
collections are generally satisfactory.
Retail trade is good and the feeling for
the future fa cite of confidence.
London. -Trade is good for this Seashil
of the year, and in all lines conditions
are eatisfactory. Deliveries of country
produce here are about :steady, while
prices generally hold firm.
Ottawas -There is it gooa. tone to
wholesale ima retail trade here, althOugh
in the former it is mostly in the way of
Christmas lines, Country trade is fair to
'good, and farmers, having bed plenty
iof opportunity to close out their farm

New Type That is 'Prevalent in the Old
Country.
New York, Dee. 3. -The Sun publish-
es the following eqble from London: -
Since itil reappearance about 1800 Rus-
sian influenza, or grip, has appeared
year after year, each season accompanied
by different symptoms. At first it was
rheumatic type, which affected. the
lungs in its •later stages. This was
the most fatal form the • disease took
after many variations:
The *physicians reiport that the in-
fluenza this year s of the neuralgic
type. Attacks of neuralgic headaches
and facial pains are now enormously
) prevalent. A Harley street specialist
says be believes we are in for it repeti-
tion of the headaches and neuralgias of
the sixties. These followed the out-
break of influenza of 1849-50, after
which, so far as he has been able to re-
trace it, the disease pursued the same
cycle, finishing with an epidemic of neu-
ralgia. headache. Ile expects something
of the same •sort for a year or two to
come.

OF INCENDIARISM.
Sarnia ex -fireman Self -Accused of
Many Crimes,
Rad Confederates, If His Remarkable
Confession is True.
.1n Revenge For His Dismissal, Set
Many Places on fire.
Sarnia, Dec. 3, -our incendiary fires
in Sarnia, last night brought about the
arrest of three well-knotan young men,
It is believed that the termination luts
been reached of it series of incendiary
acts extending over the last three
weeks. The men under arrest are
James Milne, aged 22; Percival Jack-
son, aged 22, and Benson W, Buchanan,
aged $4.
Pour fires were set last night, and
at the third fire Milne was soeu m the
act, met shortly afterward,s arrested by
Chief of Police .Albert E, Santis, who
had Min under suspicion. Four hours
after Milne's arrest a fourth fire was
set, probably by confederates of eh° pri-
soner to divert suspicion. Their efferts
were futile, however, for the ,prisoner
confessed to -day to Chief Sarvis, Mayor
Barr and Councillor T. IL Cook. Chief
Sarvis arrested Jackson and Buchanan
bhia efternoon.
The first fire last uight was in the
stable in the rear of Wm. Johnston's
grocery, Christian street. Two horses
were in the stable. The -brigade were
not required. At, 10.30 an oil house ats
Melted to R. Kenny's grocery at the
rear of the Belehamber - Hotel was
ignited and was•extinguished by the fire
department. Mr. Kenny places bis loss
at -about $300. At 12 o'clock an alarm
was turned in from the Baptist -Church
corner for it fire in the rear of ;John
Langan's. residence, Vidal street. An
empty stable was found burning. Ac.
cess had been obtained from the rear of
the Exchange Hotel. It was at this fire
that Milne was arrested.
At 4 a. in. Ohief Sanaa noticed, a
blaze at the rear of Wesley Watson's
livery, South Christina street. When the
department, arrived the uper part of
the stable was aflame. A hostler asleep
inside was aroused with difficulty, and
almost lost his life. The loft was full
of hay, and the smoke was blinding. A
few vehicles, were saved, but eleven
horse were burned to death. Some
cnrriages and it horse belonging to Dr.
J. la James, who lived next aeon were
lost, with no insurance. The livery
stable and contents are practically it
total loss. They were valued at $3,000,
with iusurance of $1,200. The fire was
clearly incendiary. The confession of
Milne is circumstantial, and reveals it
well-defined conspiracy. He implicates
Buchanan in the brigade hall fire, five
weeks ago, and allegros that Jackson set
Kenny's building ablaze with oil that he
(Milne) had procured from the store,.
osetnsibly for St George's Church, where
he acts as janitor. Personally he
pleads guilty to the five small fires on
Nov. 21, assisted by his friends.
The burning of the John Goodison
Thresher Company's storehouses on Fri.
day night, with a loss of $6,000, ho says
he acompliebed unassisted. The pri-
soner can eerie° no motive for has actions
beyond a desire to be avenged on the
town f Or his diseherge from the fire de-
partment for . drunkenness three weeks
ago. Buchanan es a married man, it
trusted member of the fire company,
and drives a coal wagon. Jackson is
the youngest son of William Jackson,
florist. He luta been in trouble before,
and. was formerly a fireman.
The success of Chief Sarvia in round-
ing up the gang is it matter ef congrat-
ulations Mr. E. M. Ross, a member of
.the fire department, was shadowing
Milne at the time, and was present when
he applied the light to the building.
THAT SHADOW OF ENMITY.
Which Has Fallen Over Britain and Ger-
many.
London.'Dee. 4. -An important, speech
on the relations between Great Britain
and Germany was delivered to -night by
the German Ambassador, Count Wolff
Metternich, who was the chief guest at
a dinner at the Lyceum Club, presided
over by Lady Aberdeen. The Aname.
seder said:
"We have never had n serious quarrel
with England. in the long course of our
history, and sincerely trust we never tvill.
A shadow unfortunately has fnllen over
the two nations in the last. few yeas,
the causes for which it is not difficult
to discover by those who read what
daily is printed. The fact that I am
your guest to -night si It welcome proof
that the forces at work are desirous of
dispelling that shadow of enmity,
"The overwhelming majority of Enge
lishmen and Germanswish it life of
peace and harmony, and regard the idea
of a Serious quarrel as it pleat of crim.
inal folly. There is no real cause for
antagonism, commercial or otherwise; it
is only an atmosphere of ill -feeling arti-
ficially created.
"The German Clovermnent will greet
with sincere satisfaction any movement
tending to further good relations, and
will gladly respond to any friendly de-
moustration 1» England"

A St. Catharines despatch: On of the
largest meetings of fruit growers ever
held in the Niagara Peninsula took place
here this afternoon, called for the pur.
pose of discussing the question of adopt-
ing it standard size of fruit baskets., The
present legal basket for grapes, etc., is
six and two•thirds quarts, but to -day's
meeting: resolved to make two standard
sizes, eix and eleven quarts. Parliament
will be netted at its uext session to
amend the fruit law to that effect.
Growers were present from many
points in Ontario,- end the meeting was

out that many different sizes of fruib

PAY FOR FATHER'S HANGING,
The Family' of Virginian Ex-Ilayor Must
Stand Expense,
Richmond, Va., Dee. 4. -The four
children of J. Samuel McCue, ex -
Mayor of Charlottesville, who was
hanged. ia February last for the murder
of las wit, will be forced under the
law to pay the costs of their father's
trial and mention. A petition for a
remission of the costs in the ease, which
mounted to $3,097.42, has been denied
by Gov. Montague, who endorsed the
papers as follows:
"This application was referred to
the Attorney -General for his opinion
as to whether or not the Executive is
authorized by law to remit said costs.
In an elaborate opinion, fortified by
reason and authorities, the Attorney -
General holds that the Executive is
unauthorized to make such a remission
of costs, and therefore the application
must be denied."
The opinion of the Attorney -Gen-
eral in this ease will be of vast import-
ance as it precedent. In substance, it
says that the Executive lacks the con-
stitutional authority to remit costs,
although he is authorized to remit
fines and penalties.
