THURSDAY, FEB. 4, 1904.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The intention of Mr. F D. Monk, M.
P., to abdicate his functions as party
leader in Quebec, has caused a great sen-
sation in Montreal. The Conservative
press deny that Monk has resigned, but
they do not deny that his position will
have to be discussed at the first Conser-
vative canons after parliament meets.
An excellent showing is made by the
Dominion of Canada with respect to
trade failures in 1903. These numbered
978 last year against 1,101 in 1902 and
were 1.341 in 1901. Totel. liabilities
$7.552,724, against $10,934,777 in
1902, and $10,811,671 in 1901. Total
assets were $4,872,422, against $7,772,418
iu 1902, and $7,6i6,823 in 1901.
An order in Council was passed Friday
appointing Dr. C. A. Hodgetts, M D.,
L. R. C. P., London Eng., to the position
of Secretary of the Provincial Board of
Health and Deputy Registrar -General
for Ontario to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of Dr P H. Bryce, who
has accepted the position of Medical In-
spector of Immigration and of the De-
partment of Indian Affairs for the Do-
minion Government.
Mr M. G. Cameron, M.P P. for West
Huron, who raised the point in the Leg-
islature with reguard to the legality of
the North Renfrew election, stated that
his discovery was a pure accident. He
had been looking through the statutes
for information as to whether the de-
lay in the riding was inevitable or not,
and came across the point. He followed
it up from sheer curiosity, and the re-
sult was his speech in the House
A New York paper says: It is annoy-
ing to hear these Canadians boasting
about the achievements of their ridicul-
ous little country. Do youknow that
in the year 1901. there were only 322 di-
vorced women in all Canada, against
1,059 in the single state of Rhode Island
the year before and 261 in this city? We
could fill the Metrepolitian opera house
with divorces. In the whole province of
Ontario with over two million inhabitants
only 48 divorces have been granted in
thirty years and in some years there are
none. You can't get a divorce there
without an act of parliament. Yet Cana-
da pretends to compare herself with the
United States which had 114,965 divorc-
ed women and 84,903 divorced men in
1900, including 80 divorced girls under
15 years of age, and 2,457 more under
19.
The Cauadi.= customs revenue for the
past seven years was $23.68,504, au in-
crease of $2,875,638 as compared with the
same period of the year previous. For
the month of January the Customs rev-
enue was $3,974,743, a gain of $384,493.
The anneal convention of the Dairy-
men's Association of Western Ontario
was held in St. Thomas recently. West-
ern Ontario, as is generally known, is a
very important dairying centre as it has
247 cheese factories, which last year
handled 52,000,000 gallons of milk, from
which was made 24,000 tons of cheese,
the price realized being about $5,000,000.
Besides this the butter made in cream-
eries and in private dairies realized pro-
bably another $5,000,000.
Mr. George A. Putman, B. S. A. has
been chosen to succeed Mr. G. C. Creel -
man as superintendent of Farmers' In-
stitutes and Director of the eastern and
western dairy schools at Kingston and
Strathroy respectively, It is understood
that the other part of Mr. Creelman's
work will be assumed by Mr. H. B.
Cowan, formerly agricultural editor
of the Ottawa Valley Journal, and for
the past year editor of The New Eng-
land Homestead, of Springfield, Mass.
A significant fact in connection with
the North Oxford contest is that the Lib-
erals did not bring into the constituency
any outside workers, while the Conser-
vatives imported many workers from
outside. It is known that a party of
seasoned Cousecvative workers left
Hamilton for North Oxford on Monday,
iu charge of the most experienced and
shrewdest campaigners in this city. It
is about time for the Tories to take to
heart the lessons which they have been
pounding into the Government party.—
Hamilten Herald.
The announcement that 434 manufac-
turers in different parts of Canada are
preparing to give immediate employment
to 4,431 persons including 1,758 men,
1,089 women, 1,167 girls and 417 boys
will probably come as a surprise to many
who have been encouraging the belief
that there is a glut in the labor market
of Canad'i at the present time. This in-
formation is the substance of a lengthy
report which is being prepared for pub-
lication. by the Secretary of the Canadian
Mauufauturers' Association as a result of
au investigation conducted by the par-
liamentary committee.
Au Illinois jury recently rendered a
verdict which established a precedent
that, if generally followed, would go for
towards suppressing habitual drunken-
ness. A widow brought an action for
damages against a saloonkeeper for hav-
ing caused the death of her husband.
She alleged that deceased was a notor-
ious habitual drunkard, that the fact
was well known to the saloonkeeper and
that he was warned not to give the man
liquor, yet in spite of all he supplied the
drink of which the victim died. The
jury decided that the widow had proved
her case and awarded her $2,500 de -
mages.
CHURCH NOTES.

sion Bands for 1902 was 481, in 1903 327,
making a loss of 104 members. Con-
tributed by auxiliaries in 1902 $1522 48;
in 1903, $1537.68. Contributed by Mis-
sion Bands in 1902, $296.89; in 1903,
$299.60. Total contributions for 1902,
$1819.37; for 1908, $1837.28, an increase
of about $18.

The Psychology of' Advertising.
Readers of advertisements, that is to
say readers, have long been familiar with
"Sunny Jim," the young fellow who
started out in life as "James Dumps."
"But Force one day was served to
him,
Since then they've called him Sunny
Jim."
Very few of those who carelessly
glanced at this couplet, and others de-
voted to the life and times of Mr. Damps,
nave any idea of the money spent to
bring the article advertised before the
public. Last year $1,000,000 was spent
n this way, and in 1904 this amount
amount may be exceeded. Advertising
one firm's pills, sarsaparilla, and hair
vigor costs $600,000 annually and more
t tan a million was laid out on a tonic.
ro advertise its publication of the Ency-
eloptodia Britannica, cost the conterva-
tire publishers of the London Times a
round million.
These instances will show what dim -
unions advertising has attained, and the
most remarkable in this connection is
that advertising is Only about 16 years
old. That is to say, before 1887 little
attention was paid to it by either buyer
or seller. The first advertisement that
appeared in English was in the Imperial
Intelligencer, March 1648; but not till
1864 was there an advertisement placed
n Harper's Magazine. Prom 1864 to
18si the 'volume of advertising that this
characteristic American magazine ton -
tatted was less than the tame maga-
zine printed last year.
