THEWINED' TIMES.
H. R. ELLIOTT. PIIALIBHER AND PROPaI&TOR
THURSDAY. NOV. 20. 1902.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Sir Wilfrid Laurier left Ottawa ou
Monday last for Piot Springs,Va., where
he will spend a few weeks for the benefit
of his health.
The Provincial Secretary reports a
great increase in the amount received
for fees for the incorporation of com-
panies k Ontario. The fees for ten
months this year have been $89.725, and
it is expected the twelve months will
total $105,000. Last year $88,643 was
received in 12 months. In 1900 the
amount was $78,997; iu 1890, $67,851
and in 1898 only $28,520.
Dominion note circulation is the great-
est on record. On Oct. 31 it aggregat-
es $34;084,579, an increase of $1,135,000
for the month. A year ago there were
in circulation $30,473,000 in Dominion
notes anct two years ago $28,113,229.
Of one and two dollar bills the ciircula-
tion on the 31st ult. was $11,494,021, in
four -dollar bills $976,271, in Dominion
large notes $4,347,550,and in legal tender
notes for banks $16,893,500.
The prediction of Mr. W. T. R.
Preston that Canada will have one
hundred thousand immigrants next year
seems reasonable. If the proportion
of one-third from the United Kingdom,
and one-third from the rest of Europe
which he hopes for is maintaiued, it
will also mean that the addition to our
population from these sources will
generally be of a good class. We want
all we can get from Britain and the
United States, especially if they have
• some means. -Stratford Beacon.
As the time for voting on the referen-
dum for Provincial prohibition approach-
es interest is increasing, says au ex-
change, and many are the speculations
as to the probable result of the vote. In
1894 the vote for prohibition was, in
round numbers, 102,000; in 1898, 154,-
000; and the number now required to
bring about the enactment of a prohibit-
ion law is 213,000. It is to be noted. that
.in 1894, when high-water mark was
reached, the vote was on mnncipal elec-
tion day, and was open to women voters
on the municipal list. The coming vote
will be on a day when no other issue is
up to bring voters out; women voters
will be excluded, and the total male
voting strength is little if any greater
than in 189.4. Ia the rural districts,
it is stronghold of prohibition sentiment.
it is probably less, and in urban centres,
where opposition to prohibition is
strongest, it is greater. However, both
parties are now roused as they have
never been before, and a full and

The following from an exchange is
well to the point and very trne:--"The
individual who satiates his vindictive
! spirit in the wilful and malicious de -
estruction of property is a dangerous
1 enemy to any community, and the sooner
lie is hunted down the better. Property
is accepted as but a substitute for the
individual at whom the blow is struck,
and who knows when the villainous
hands might be turned in a more serious
direction, How often has the incendiary
applied the torch that has branded hint
a fiendish murderer."

about a man bringing his two daughters
to the institution at Belleville to be
educated. They were bright girls, aged
twenty and fifteen, but being deaf and
dumb, had received no schooling. The
father, however, stipulated that if they
fell i11 they were not to receive medicine
or medical attention, as he was a believer
in Christian Science. Superintendent
Matheson would not agree to this, and
the father took his daughters home with
him again,to go through life uneducated.
The editor of the Mute is amazed at
the whole occurrence.
HER CHARMS.
[S. E. Kiser]
The clothes she wore a year ago
Are out of style today;
I thought her lovely then, but oh!
Her beauty has increased; I trow
She takes my breath away.
The gown that was so swell last year,
And which became her well,
Would now look out of place and queer,
Today the things she wears appear
Too grand for tongue to tell.
No matter what the mode may be,
She gains in loveliness;
Fine feathers make fine birds, bat she
With every change it seems to me,
Lends beauty to her dress.
Without a rufle, bow or pad,
My lady would be fair;
Her beauty still would make me glad,
1 know full well, e'en if she had
But what Eve had to wear.
