NOBODY SEEMS TICKLED We have had a few Federal Cabinets in this country since Confedation, but the present one will unquestionably march through time as having received the record number of hard knocks. If the personnel of the present body is satisfactory to anyone, he has not been heard from; and to do the Hon. Mr, Borden justice, doubts very ranch if ho ishimself altogether tickled over the result. To the English -Canadian, and to many French-Canadians, the most discourag- ing feature is the thought that the Premier deems it necessary to cater to the Nationalist element of the Province of Quebec. Here we have Monk. Nantes and Pelletier; and Monk with the most important portfolio, aside from that of Finance, safely tucked away in his coat tail pocket. One might have passed without serious criticism, but there is too much for even the most ardent Tory that ever east a vote. If catering to these men and their up -side -down notions of re- tarding the growth of the country be- cause the French-Canadian can't and won't keep pace with his English- speaking neighbor, had been a political necessity, the Hon. Mr. Borden might have possessed something in the way of an excuse, but with the Conserva- tive majority back of him, such as the new Premier has -without taking Que- bec into account at all -he has not a political leg to stand upon. Under no account am I to be under stood as wishing, or even insinuating, a desire to deprive the French-Canadians of the Province of Quebec of proper Cabinet representation. That is their right, though the giving of at least one portfolio to a representative of the Eng- lish race in Quebec would have been no Mss than what is due, considering the importance of the English-speaking in- terests within the confines of that pro- vince. Of course, it is 'quite possible that the Premier figures Mr. Monk as A Justice of the Peace Guarantees this Cure by the Use of Ii en's Sidney y Pills Ur. 13. J.

EXPORT OF MANUFACTURES. Perhaps nothing in the record of Canadian foreign trede presents more striking evidence of growth and pro- gress than our experts of Canadian manufactures. It speaks eloquently, of the vast progress made in recent years. Perhaps few people aro aware that of the total of $274,316,558 worth of Canadian produce exported in the last fiscal year, $35,283,118 worth con- sisted of Canadian manufactures, In the year 1880 our export of Cana -1 dian manufactures was only $3,242,617, and in 1896 it had reached -only $9,5220,. 014. But the growing time had begun. In the next ten years it increased to $24,561,112. And nearly $10,000,000 was added in the next Ave years. Not only has the export of Canadian manufactures increased since 1896 from $9,000,000 to $35,000,000, but we have supplied an enormous and constantly increasing home demand, not thought of fifteen years ago. Canadian manu- facturing is well established. The home demand is growing annually at an enor- mous rate, and our products are com- peting in the world's markets, Anoth- er ten years should make Canada a competitor to be reckoned with. From the Inside, (Stratford Beacon.) At the Brampton Tory nomination convention on Saturday, Hon. I. B. Lucas indulged in a little talk about the coming provincial election. Said he: "Some people say we are going to annihilate the Liberal party in this province. Well, I don't think so. What I say is, don't be over -confident." Mr. Lucas will not be surprised to see a stronger Opposition returned, He thinks that there will be sympathy with the weaker party; but it is quite evident that Mr. Lucas has been read- ing the signs and studying the short- comings of the Whitney Government. He went to some trouble to explain the tyrannical methods by which Sir James rules the Legislature and manages it like a machine. "You know Sir James has a will of his own," was the euph- emism which he used to explain the Premier's dictatorship, Mr. Lucas did not use the work "dictatorship," but he made clear enough his meaning. Probably he had in view Sir James' treatment of the question of tax re- form, the discussion of which was so furiously suppressed by the Premier. It is not astonishing, remarks the. Ham- ilton Times, what a great many people knew before, to learn from the remarks of Mr. Lucas and other Conservatives who have had the courage to talk, that dissatisfaction is rife in the party with Whitney's bulldozing methods. Hon. Mr. Lucas' expectation of a stronger Opposition may be realized. WHAT IS YOUR FAMILY WORTH? If your family is worth the best you can afford in house and food and cloth- es, is it not worth the best reading as well? And the best reading -best for boys and girls, best for men and women -is to be found in The Youth's Com- panion. Of stories alone The Companion will print nearly 300 in 1912. With all the rest of the paper thrown in, and count- ing the glorious long serial stories, they cost the subscriber less than a cent apiece. Moreover, you look long be- fore you will find stories so varied and interesting; stories of eaolness in the face of peril, strange adventures with creatures of the forest and the sea; moving stories of life's obscure hero - ams; stories breezy with good-natured humor, quaint and curious character ketches.

"Oh, yes. I understand what you -John D. Wells, are. Well you can putme down as an optimist. Yes, sir, from the word I was driving along a road in one of the back townships of Ontario last week. A middle aged farmer, with his blushing young daughter, was driving towards me in a rickety old democrat stacked high with groceries and supplies from town. As we met I pulled up my horse, which as farmers know, is the signal for the other rig to do likewise, and fixed my -gaze upon the couple. "Pardon me sir," I said, "but are you a farmer?" The look of astonishment that came over that sun and wind beaten face almost unnerved me. The girl began to grin. "I really did not need to ask you, as I can see that you are a farmer," I went on, maintaining a serious mien, "but what I'd like to know is if you •go' ". ' You are not discouraged with the way things are going and can really see a bright future for yourself and the other fellows who are in it." I pulled out my notebook and pencil. "No, to what you said first, and yes to the other," he replied, "How were your crops this year?" "Well, they were none too good. The truth is that the dry spell reduced what I'll get to about half. It's been a been a bad year all around here." "But your roots and potatoes and the fruit, how have they made out? And your stock, is it in good shape?" "My roots aren't half a crop this year and my ;potatoes are very light. I can't complain about the fruit, for its fair, which is all it ever is. But my stock show the results of the drouth terribly. It will cost a lot to sink those ribs in, and, to make things worse, there is no feed on the place. It dried right out." I laughed at his sincerity and the girl commenced to giggle. "So you tell me you're an optimist and then complain that nearly every- thing on the farm has been a failure. I'll have to put you down as a pessim- ist." "That's what it looks like, stranger," he concluded, "but nevertheless, Iam one of the happiest men in Canada. The fact that myself and family aro living on the old place, well clothed and fed and still goin', shows you just what a good business farming is. We can stand a hard year; in fact, I can see how it does me a lot of good. If I'd lost everything, I'd still have had the land, and next fall I'll be better `off than you census -takers, because you'd be out a' job then. Good-bye, strong- er." The girt kept looking back at nye as they drove on. I believe now that she was an optimist, too. It isn't•safe to judge the world ' by your view of it. Costly Elections. Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, is said to have spent over $107,000 in se- curing the endorsation of Wisconsin primaries for his candidature for the United States Senate. The Wisconsin senator's method was simple and old- fashioned. He instructed his political managers that he must be elected and that they could "draw on him" for funds. Beyond signing checks, in some cases for sums as high as $15,000, Mr. Stephenson did not bother himself with "details." If the postage for his cam- Moscow's oysters come from the paign cost $22,000, and the advertising Black Sea.

This brings us to the intercession of Esther in the lesson of today. in which she took the place of death to save the tires of her people (1v, 11). Our medi- ;iter actually died 111 our stead to de- Itver us from the curse of the law (GaL Ili, 13; Iv, 4, 5). The words in t'v, 14.
