Huuoe in session. Talkativent se and oil•
stinaoy last session inflicted upon the
country six yolumes of Hansard and these
precious books arp not yet out. From
the present humor of the Conservatives
there is to be a rept ti. ion of the stream of
j inconsequential talk. However, the
Governmtlut will have their measures
down early, and if the Opposition choose
to be obstructive, upou theta must rest
the respousibility of a prolonged. session,

The report of the Bureau of Industries
has been issued The population of Ou-
terio for 1902 is given as 2,037,267, es
compared with 2,028,580 in 1901. The
total assessment is $859,943,263. while in
the preceding year it was $835,697,607.
The taxes imposed for all purposes were
$14,146,831, and in 1001 they were $13,-
341,355. Since 1886 there has been a
steady increase in the rate per head of
taxation. The rate was then $4 93, while
in 3902 it was $6.94, and in the same per-
iod the rate has increased from 12.97
mills to 16.5 mills on the dollar. The
debenture debt has also iucreased from
429,924,863 in 1866 to $35,496,650 in 1901
The rate of taxation varies iu different'
parts of the province.
Cleaning '-larnees.
The following brief Rud simple diree-
tious for oleauing haruese are given by
a correspoudent in the Rural New
Yorker.: It seems like gnito an under-
taking to elean t► haruess, and, it oauuot
be doue in a few minutes, hut if one
knows jest how to go about it, is not an
uuplt:alsaut piece of work. It must first
be taken to pieces every strap unbuckled
and If an amateur is doing tits work lie
should p:i.y: particular attention to tate
peculiar way in which back -strap and
cheek -rein ere bine:led, It the harness
is dry and stiff, give it a good soaking; iu
waren water, using white motile seep and
a brash to clean off the dirt. Hang it
rip ro cireirt, aud before quite dry apply
neat's-foot nil with a paint brush. Let
it dry till the next day. Then if the har-
ness still seems hard, apply another coat
of oil. Wheu the oil has soaked iu, soap
it all over with white Castile soap, having
sp.nIge Or rag moistened and very soapy.
After this treatment. au occasioual soap-
ing will keep the harness in order for a
long time. Before the Harness is put to-
gether any broken places should be
mended I use a needle and put shoe-
maker's wax ou the thread. An awl is

How Nerve Energy is Wasted.
(Prom Medical Talk.)
So many people needlessly and reck-
lessly waste their uorvo energy. They
drum the chair or the desk with their
fingers or tap the floor with their tots
They hold their hands. They sit in a
rocking -chair and rock for very dear lite
If they go upstairs they make the whole
h, sly dope ire work that was intended only
for the legs. If they write or sew they
set down to it with a vengeance and con-
tract their brows and wrinkle their fore-
heads and griud their teeth.
If they have an unusual task to do
they screw and contract and contortion
every muscle of the body, making theru-
selves tense and rigid all over, when the
work perhaps required bat one set of
muscles or per'iaps the mind only, as the
case may be.
Wasting nerve energy. Frittering it
away.
Little things, to be sure. But little
things have a way of aiding themselves
rip iuto big things.
The coming session may be a long and !
acrimonious one. The Conservative'
have been disabused of the idea that the
election of the Liberals in 1806 was a 1
mere accident, and ere desperate over
the certainty that Sir Wilfred and his
colleagues will be entrusted with another
lease of power. With theca it will be a
campaign session from start to finish -
and it will be a fortnuate thing if the
"glorious twelfth" does not find the

In i
"errata Condition
>sableet to baekeebe, headache and Maris
nets for years -cured by Dr. Chase.
MRS. ANDREW HEWRY, St. John Street,
Fredericton, N.B., states :-"Last spring Ihad
a sickness which left me in a very run down,
nervous state. In fact, for a number of years
I have suffered to a great extent with nervous-
aess, and frequently had attacks of headache
and dizziness. I also
seemed to be very
weak and was dis-
tressed with pains in
the small of the back.

Canada's Good Showing.
The large surpluses of the Laurier
Government during the past few years
have put the country in a very desirable
tivancial condition, says the Western
British -American of Chicago. It is an-
nounced by Hon. Wm. Paterson, Miuis-
ter of Oustoms, that at the close of the
present "financial year the Government
will wipe out every dollar that had been
added to the public debt since Sir Wil-
frid Laurier came into power. When it
is considered that Canada's position de-
mands a large outlay every year upon
railway, canals, bridges and works of
future, as well as present public utility,
the cost of which has always been added
to the national debt instead of being
paid out of current revenue it will be
seen that the annual surpluses have been
pat to good use. With a corrupt GOV-
ernment in power there would have been
less to use in such commendable way.
At the same time the Government has
been most liberal in aiding the develop-
ment of the country through the free use
of the public fuuds.
Value of Advertising.
The time when a merchant cah fix up
a store, have a sign to put up, and begins
to do a satisfactory business has gone by.
Newspaper advertising has grown to be a
necessity in these days of strong compet-
ition. What makes the big department-
al stores in the large cities spend so much
money in advertising? They do it be-
cause it pays. By their advertising they
are booming their wares before the peo-
ple all over the province, and get mail
i orders from customers a hundred or more
miles away. It is said that the Eaton
business in Toronto does a mail order
!trade of $4,000,000 a year. It may be
!that people in this city are • sending to
IToronto or Detroit or Buffalo for articles
that could be got right here if they only
knew it. The Herald believes in support-
ing onr own industries and stores. A pa- ! every clay of their lives have little time

The nearest approach to divorce which
is: recognized in Newfoundland is a jn-
dieial separation of max and wife, for
drunkenness, desertion, ill-treatment, or
the like. In such cases the husband is al-
most invariably in fault, and is com-
pelled to pay the wife a weekly share of
his earnings, on penalty of imprison-
ment, the judge firing the alimony.

Brother and Sister Married.
From the Canipbelltord Herold,
In a quiet couutry farm house, c.uly a
few wiles froth Catupbellford,lives a very
respectable fondly of seven persoue,
father mother and live uhildreu. '1 he
pareuts.were married about 35 years ago
when quite young; worked laird, Cud all
through the diflinulties and ordinal
troubles an.l perplexities iuonleut t0 life,
ntaua„ed to estalvlieh a very comfortable
table and well regulated farm house.
Whilst diligently and faitltfnllj pursuing
the ordinary routine of country life, all
of a sudden, and by it mere aovuleut, the
truth of a strauge state of affairs was
forced upon them. They suddeutv be-
eatne aware that as well as beiug husband
and wife they were liltewise brother and
sister. The vet./ strauge event canto
about iu this way: Whet' one of them
was very young, one of the parents died,
leaving the child to tee care of a friend
of the family. The surviving parent
warmed again, and other children were
born. Iu the course of time they all
drifted frau' oue of the old lands to this
couutry, the first child taking the name
of'the fatuity with who's it was brought
up. The two children met, became
acquaiuted with Paoli other, .fell itt love,
and !rosily married, reedier one know-
ing; much of the former history of the
other, and certainly wirer dreaming
they were half brother aud sister:
When the lasts became known to
thew, they beu.aute lirostrate with grief.
Tile tither tell seriously t11 and nearly
lost iris reat.ou. The mother bort) up
fur a while, and finally she, too, broke
down, and both lives were despaired of.
But as health and reason steely return-
ed, they formed the wisest reselutioa
possible, concluding to continue ou in
the home with the several children that
had been born to them, but pot as they
had begun lite. Most of the family are
liviug, and eutirely ignorant of their
former tinnily history.
Very few cases of this 'nature ever
come to light, lint no eonbt similar ones
exist, happily unknown to the parties
themselves. The subjects of this strange,
yet true event, are most highly respect-
able people, to whoa' no blame or clis-
grade can be or has ever been attached
for this unfortunate experience. Those
that know them best speak in the high-
est terms of them. They are living a
Christian life, and no one doubts their
reward.
Come, Gentle Spring.
(After Walt Whitman.)
Coma, gentle spring, or any other kind
Of spring. In fact, we wouldn't naiad
A rough,
Tough,
Boisterous old thing,
Just so it were sp'rng.
If by a slip
We have ever said flip
Aud uncomplimentary things about you.
We rue
Our lack
Of good taste and take them all back.
We are sore
On winter, and we don't Dare who
Knows it,
The season doesn't comp within forty
Miles of making a hit
With us,
And it can have a fuss
Auy time it comes around with a chip
On its houlder,
And if it gets colder
Or in ocher ways tries to get gay
We will meet it more than half way.
But you, gentle spring,
Can have anything
We have in the shop.
Don't stop
To ask if it is too good to be true.
Help yourself. The best is none too
Good for you. -"Wayside Tales."
Where Divorces Are Tabooed.
From the Canadian Magazine,
A revival of negotiations for the ad-
mission of Newfoundland into the Do-
minion has once more brought before the
public eye that remote, barren colony of
which most of ns know so little.
One interesting fact connected with
Newfoundland is that it is the only
British possession where a divorce is ab,
solutely unprocurable.
It is not easy to obtain divorce in any
part of the British empire,and in Austra-
lia and Canada marriage vows are
annulled only when very conclusive
evidence as to the wrongs of the appli-
cant is presented. Upon to 1901 only 22
Federal divorces had been granted in
Canada since confederation. In South
Africa the laws are less rigit, and mar-
riages are unmade with more frequency.
In Newfoundland, however, no reason
is considered sufficient for putting
asunder those whom God hath joiued to-
gether.
In that bleak colony, with its
population of little more than 200,000,
people aro too close to the stern realities -
of lite to bo very keenly critical of each
other's shortcomings.
{ The majority of the towns are merely
fishing villages, and men and women
who are face to face with death almost

! making the people aware that goods Can
I be bought in their own towns as cheaply
las in the larger cities. It is said the mail

I chants are making of their advertising
space in their local papers. Advertising
is like everything else: There is a right
way of doing it and a wrong way. But
to do business these days it is neeessary
to advertise. -Stratford 'Herald.

A REMARKABLE EC}IO
WONDERFUL. SOUND EFFECTS INAb,
NEW YORK MONUMENT. IP
The Famous Ilaptistery raft Pltra Out-
done by the Soltllers' Sltaft on, Itiv-
ernlde Drive, Wltere Sound Molls
About Luce a Ball.
A. big Ie'rench motor car occupied by
two men and two very pretty women
whirred up Riverside drive late Sun-
day evening and at Ninetieth street
drew up and stopped at the approach
to the Soldiers and Sailors' monument.
It was long past the hour when the
crowd of fashionable promenaders
leaves the drive as the party of four
stepped out of the big, vibrating ma-
chine and climbed the steps to the
monument.
One of the men was a millionaire
well known in the financial district.
The other was a great tenor. With
teem were the millionaire's wife and a
woman known in half a dozen Euro-
pean capitals as one of the greatest
operatic coaches living -a woman who
is a constant attendant upon operatic
stars and a sharer in no steel' degree
in their musical triumphs.
If It had been made during a Sunday
or a weekday afternoon, a crowd of
fashionable folia would undoubtedly
have had their curiosity piqued by the
peculiar visit of i'our such well known
people. The whole affair was so bi-
zarre and the sounds which soon issued
'frons the narrbw entrance to the glis-
tening white monument were so
strange that at any but a late night
hour a crowd must have quickly filled
the plaza around the marble shaft. A
desire to escape any such annoying in-
cidents probably led the visitors to
choose the nighttime for their visit.
"The average American is a consum-
mate ass," said the New Yorker ns he
guided the small party up the moon-
lit steps to the monument. "He travels
to the utmost parts of the world,
spends barrels of money and generally
'writes a book or two describing the
marvelous things he sees, when by re-
maining right at home he could have
seen sights of a similar hind which
would have knocked the spots off the
things on which he has wasted his
patrimony and paragraphs of superla-
tIves."
"But echoes, signor," replied the ten-
or as he grasped the Wall street man's
arm. "Echoes such as we have in the
baptistery! Never -except in the old
cathedrals of Italy!"
"That's just what Americans say,"
retorted the New York man. "They go
into ecstatic raptures over European
mediocrity without knowing that they
live among the greatest collection of
marvels in the world. Listen to this."
The party had reached the door lead -
inn to the interior of the inonunient.
A solid cylindrical wall of marble and
granite surrounded a `slender room
empty save for a half dozen dried
wreaths lying on one corner of the
stone floor. When the whole party had
wormed its way into the monument,
the Wall street roan bade them be
very still and with upturned face in-
toned a low note. An echo was heard
which rivaled those marvelous re-
verberations which have drawn travel-
ers to distant parts of. the world and
have been the subjects of brilliant de-
scriptions in the daily press and be-
tween covers. The note seemed instant-
ly transformed into a moving ball of
sound. Its journey to the distant stone
ceiling could be distinctly traced. It
seemed to be wafted upward like a
ring of stroke or a cottony dandelion
seed. 'Tire sound decreased until the
note seemed to strike the small, high
ceiling, where it lingered a moment be-
fore commencing its downward trip.
Gradually increasing in loudness, it
came back to the floor of the monu-
ment, apparently as loud and as intact
as when it was uttered. The whole
wonderful incident occupied only a
few seconds, but every stage of the
sound's trip to the top of the monu-
ment and back was as pronounced and
as easily traced as though it had been
a butterfly or a toy balloon.
"`Magnificent!" exclaimed the tenor in
tones of rapture and surprise. "I never
dreamed such a marvelous echo existed
outside the baptistery at Pisa,"
His voice made a perfect riot of
sound within the narrow shaft. Count-
less tones going and coming in rapid
succession produced an effect almost
,painful upon the cars of the listeners.
At the request of one of the women
the tenor sang -very slowly and softly
a few phrases of "La Donna e Mobile."
The effect was peculiarly beautiful.
Two men seemed to be singing, one a
half beat behind the other. As in the
Nall street man's experiment, cacb.
quote could be heatd distinctly soaring
aloft to the ceiling rind' bads, • At the
retina of each nett in its l)r!g feel rigor
and fullness the effect of a second
singer was produced. The union of
the bell -like tones of the beautiful
voice, the wonderful echo and the pe-
culiar strangeness of the whole situa-
tion brought cries of delight from the
two women.
"1 believe it Is es fine as the one in
Pisa," said the woman who conches
prima donnas, "and to think that we
never even heard of it before!"
"Peculiar fact," said the New Yorker,
striking It match and illuminating the
dark, cold interior, "New Yorkers
never know anything about New York.
You can't sit down in n hotel lobby or
in a club and speak of echoes but a
doicn men will commence to dilate on
some reverberations they have hearts
in some backwoods German or Italian
town. But none of thein knows of erne -
thing remnknble It his own town,
the greatest city on enrtlt."•
