This structure ie notable as being the loftiest devoted to business purposes in the world. From the sidewalk to the top of the cupola is 750 feet, which is 50 feet more than the height of the Metropolitan Building, and 138 feet more than the height of the Singer Building tower, both in New York. The building contains fifty-five stories inthe tower. It is of the standard steel column and floor beam construc- tion ; but in order to take care of the enormous dead load and the great wind load, the columns are necessarily of unprecedental size. ' * it ---According to reports from Ottawa, where they are making the new Cana- dian gold coins, there is not a very keen demand for these. About a mil- lion dollars in gold has been coined, and though at first, their novelty caused quite a demand for them, re- cently, there has been a preference shown for clean back notes. After all, this is not an unfavorable sign, because it is evidence that as a rule our Banks are sound and their "pro- mises to pay" are worth their face value. In passing, however, we may remark that up to this date, not a single one of these gold coins has been refused at this office. No Sir—we promise not to turn up our nose, at these gold pieces, no matter how often they roll into our sanctum. So far, however, we have not even seen one, no not at a distance. • A A ---Dr. Adam Clark once said :-- "I have lived to know that the great secret of human happiness is this—Never suffer your energies to stagnate. The old adage, "too many irons in the fire," conveys an abominable falsehood. You cannot have too nrauy—poker, tongs.and all ; keep them all going." Dr. Clarke was a good commentator, but at the same time liable to 'Hake mistakes, and the above paragraph to our mind is one. Of course we admit that there is a difference ;n men. Some can accomplish more than . others, and the number of "irons in the fire" that a man can properly attend to, depends not only ora his mental capacity, but his physical strength. While warning people against "Stagnation," Dr. Clarke seems to have forgotten that there was such a thing as "Efficiency," and that as a factor in success, this quality is entitled to consideration.

The transition is even now advancing a stage further, and apple -growing is becoming more and mare one of the staple industries of the county. According to Mr. Alex. Cooper, grain buyer In Godericb, for every hundred bushels of grain that is now marketed here were a thousand bushels ten years ago. The difference is explained by the fact that Ontario is being fed to a much larger extent by Manitoba wheat and oats. The farmers around here have come to the conclusion that they can get better re- turns by feeding more of their grain to their live stock than by marketing it. Accordingly Huron has come to be one of the great fat cattle counties of the Province. Taking the county as a whole the crop outlook is decidedly bright. The fall wheat crop promises to be one of the best in years. Fields are to be seen standing four feet high. A farmer near Wingham told your cor- respondent that he expected to har- vest nearly forty bushels to the acre. The average yield around Clinton is expected to be as high as twenty five bushels to the acre. Of course there are •many sections where the crop will be light, but on the whole it will be well above the average. Huron farmers have not a district representative of the Department of Agriculture resident within the coun- ty, but they want one, and have made their wants known to the Ontario Government. Nevertheless, a great development has taken place in the methods used, particularly in regard to the care of orchards. . Huron is also without rural mail delivery, and it wants that, too. It is understood that the establishment of several de- livery routes is under contemplation by the Government. The county is well served by rural telephone lines, several independent companies oper- ating from different centres. Civic holiday. Mayor Spotton has proclaimed Thursday August 1st, as Civic holiday for Wingham. The Union Sunday School excursion to Kincardine will be the event of attraction for that day.

Coming at so early an age into the "Bush," he passed through the varied and trying experiences of the pioneer settler. In 1873, he left the farm and for a few years was in business in Lower Town, For thirteeen years he was a faithful employee of the Furniture factory, and about ten years ago purchased the North End grocery.
