Ontario Goverutnent will be shown to
have been most satisfactory, when the
public accounts were presented. A pre-
liminary statement which has been pre-

over half a milli= with three million
dollars in the bank at present and a total
surplus of half a million more.
The statement iu detail shows that the
total receipts by the province of Ontario
during 1003 were $5,469,298; total expen-
ditures $4.890,0S2, leaving a surplus for
the year's transactions of $578,316. On
December the 31, 1902, there was in the
bank to the credit of the province $1,415,-

this had increased to 61,993,827. Since
then the revenues received brought the
mousy in the bank on January 20, 1904,
up to a total of $3,004493.
A glance at the assets and liabilities
showed a surplus on December 31, 1903,
of $2.552.827. Counting the increase in
the cash received since the close of last
year the total surplus of assets over lia-
bilities at the present time is in the neigh-

seven prisoners confined in the jail, the
first four for vagrancy and the other
three are insane: Robert Wallace,
Tuckersmith; Joshua Craven, Montreal;

MAN'S LOVE CT' THE DOG.
Of All Animals, Only the Dog nag
Made Alliance With Tia.
Mau loves the dog, but how much
more ought he to love It if he consid-
ered in the inflexible harmony of the
laws of nature the sole exception, which
is,that love of a being that succeeds in
piercing in order to draw closer to us
the partitions everywhere else imper-
tneable that separate the species! We
are alone, absolutely alone, on this
chance planet, and aunt" all the forms
of life that surround us not one, ex-
cepting the dog, has =de an alliance
with us. A few creatures fear us, most
are unaware of us, and not one loves
us. In the world of plants we have
dumb and motionless slaves, but they
serve us in spite of themselves. They
simply endure our laws and our yoke,
They are impotent prisoners, victims
Incapable of escaping, but silently re-
bellious, and so soon as we lose sight
of them they hasten to betray us and
return to their former wild sled mis-
chievous liberty, The rose and the corn,
had they wings, would fly at our ap-
proaeh like the birds.
Among the animals we number a few
servants who have submitted only
through indifference, cowardice or stn.
piclity-the uncertain and craven horse,
who responds only to pain and is at-
tached to nothing; the passive and de-
jected ass, who stays with us only be-
cause he knows not what to do nor
where to go, but who nevertheless un-
der the cudgel and the pack saddle re-
tains the idea that lurks behind his
ears; the cow and the ox, happy so long
as they are eating and docile because
for centuries they have not had a
thought of their own; the affrighted
sheep, who knows no other master than
terror; the hen, who is faithful to the
poultry yard because she finds more
maize and wheat there than in the
neighboring forest. I do not speak of
the cat, to whom we are nothing more
than a too large and uneatable prey,
the ferocious cat, whose sidelong con-
tempt tolerates us only as incumbering
parasites in our own homes. She, at
least, curses us in her mysterious
heart, but all the others live beside us
as they might live beside a rock or a
tree. They do not love us, do not know
IA, scarcely notice us. They are un-
aware of our life, our death, our depar-
ture, our return, our sadness, our joy,
our smile. They do not even hear the
sound of our voice as soon as it no lon-
ger threatens them, and when they
look at us it is with the distrustful be-
wilderment of the horse, in whose eye
still hovers the infatuation of the elk
or gazel that sees us for the first time,
or with the dull stupor of the rumi-
nants, who look upon us as a momen-
tary and useless accident of the pas -
tura -Maurice Maeterlinck in Century,

idly failing in vigor. His death is looked

Re Liked Young People.
In his last work, "Facts and Com-
ments," Herbert Spencer gives a cu-
rious bit of self revelation. Ile con-
fesses that, though be particularly liked
the society of young people, it bored
him to an unendurable extent if they
worried him with unintelligent chatter,
and that to avoid this it waS his cus-
tom to ask them some question which
could not be answered without a good
deal of thought. He was accustomed
to base his judgment of their intellects
upon the answers returned, and we can
well imagine that those who were sud-
denly confronted with some such prob
lem as "Why is the sea mit?" must
have regarded a drive with the great
philosopher as something of an ordeal.

EDIVA.TION COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
save Stock erartzets.
Toronto. Feb. 9. -The ran of stook at
the city cattle market is still very light,
the receipts siuce Saturday amounting
to 37 loads, to -day's receipts being only
about 13 loads. Business is quiet, the
lemand among the local butchers being
not at all active. The market ou the
whole is just about steady at last week's
quotations. According, however, to
some of the reports going around the
market as good prices are being paid
direct from the farmers as are being paid
for cattle delivered in the market. There
is uo doubt that some good prices have
been paid in the country, too high, say
the local buyers, who say they cannot
afford to paid the prices the buyers are
asking.
The following are the quotations;
