A Grosvenor Square trait dealer and florist has suggested to the Fruit Rivi- ieion, Ottawa, the idea of layering choice apples in barrels. using a pup paper circle betweeu layers, He thinks that fancy apples pecked in this manner would land in far better condition and fetch correspoudingiy higher prices, much more than sufficient to pay for the increased trouble and expense$ involved in the packing. It might be advisable for some of our exporters to experiment along this line wheu the shipping season wines around agaie. The world's wheat shipments last week totalled 8,053,855 bushels, almost one and a quarter million bushels less than for the same periods last year. The sbipmonts for Canada and the I nitod Stites were 1,218 S33. as compared with 2,977,777 lest pew, The peculiar fea- ture in the t•iturltiou is that the war has had comparatively little ,fleet on Rus - slue chis+tuetlte, Russia's shipments last week being 2,000,000 as compared with 2,036,000 bushels for the saute period one year age. The visible supply of wheat in Canada and the I7tlited States is 31.369.000. 114 against 37,171,000 for this time Iast year. This week's Leslie's Weekly has a portrait and brief sketch of Sir William Mulock, Postmaster -G -r iral H tri ie an extract: If we don't "watch out" and reform and improve our backweed and antiquated postal system, our neigh- bor on the north, the "Lsdy of the Snows," will get as far ahead of us iu this respect as Switzerlaud, Germany acid other Earopeau countries now rare. The present Postmaster -General of Can- ada, Sir William Mulock, is a wide- awake and progressive official, a• d to it is said, the British Empire owes its penny postage system. NEW CANADA. Manitoba, Assiniboia, Saskatchewau and Alberta contain, in round figures, 250,000,000 acres of land. About 20,000, 000 acres have already been given away as free homesteads, and 50,000,000 acres is a large estimate of the Iands unfit for cultivation, the lakes, rivers, and so on. This leaves 180,000,000 acres still to be settled, including, of course, the grants to the Canadian Pacific and other rail- ways. Over and above this there is au area of 160,000,000 acres of first class ranch and grain -growing laud in the. nuorgauized district of Athabasca, em- bracing the Peace River country. All told, then, there are 340,000,000 acres of good land waiting for the plough and lo- comotive in the Northwest. To put it (differently, there is sufficient to furnish 160 -acre farms for 2,000,000 heads of families. It is just as important, however, that the wild lands in the older provinces should be opened to colonization. Not having any such reserve, the New Eng- land States have almost ceased to be farming States and their population is increasing but slowly. Ontario, Qaebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are get- ting into the same condition. These old provinces have not spared themselves iu their efforts to develop the West, and the West will agree that it is time they did something for themselves. Making a liberal allowance for bad lauds, the area fit for cultivation which will be opened by the Grand Trunk Pacific in Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario is large enough to provide 100 -acre farms for over 1,000,000 heads of fami- lies, say 5,000,000 souls. Without the railway, this vast territory must remain a howling wilderness of no use to Can- ada, whilst at the same time our surplus p ,pulation will continue to flow, during periods of depre inion, to the 'United Sates. Which is it to be? Canadians for Canada, or Canadians obliged for lack of homes to go into exile?

Life Seems Seareely Worth LIvtflg. There comes a time in the life of all w otuea when they are face to face with a grave crisis; when there are distress- ing backaches, headaches, dizziness; when Mit some women ere threatened with the loss of their reason; when then suffer because they are women. The happiness of wotneu for the rest of their 'Ives depends upon bong safely tided over this crisis. Dr, Willi quo' Pink Pitts have proved a blessing to women at all ages, and are particularly valuable at two critinal periods --when girlhood ik merging iuto womanhood aid when wo- ntou are approaching the turn of life. fhese pills make the rich, red blood that stimulates all the organs of the body, expels disease,. and makes the weary sufferer bright, active and strong. Mrs. A. Jones, Cypress River. Man.. says:—"Ont of gratefulness I feel that I must let you know the good Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills have done me. For rears I suffered from infisnttnation of the womb and kindred troubles. Only those who have been similarly afflicted can tell how mach I suffered, or how dreary Life seemed. I tried many medi- cines but none of them helped tae. Then I was advised to to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I am grateful now for that advice, for after using about a dozen boxes every symptom of the trouble die. appearedand life agaie seemed worth lfvirlg. It is now several y8ars since I took the pills, and as there has been no sign of the tronble since, I feel safe iu saving the cure is permanent."

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. The opposition, Mr, Haggett and old timers excepted, appear to have been won over to Government ownership and operation of railways by the confidential memorandum submitted by Mr. Blair to his colleagues last fall, which they con- trived to get hold of. It is worth noting however, that while Mr. BIair was Min- ister of Railways, in charge of the Inter - colonial, they reviled Governtnent own- ership as he carried it on to the full ex- tent of their vocabulary. Government ownership has never been seriously discussed its Parliament since 1870, when Sir Alexander (Galt, then an indeiendant Conservative, moved "that the present system under which the In- tercolcuiat is being constrncred as a public work of the Dominion"—it was being constructed ander a Commission —"is expensive and unsatisfactory; that it is not in the public interest that the Government should be charged with the maintenance and working of railways; and that in the opinion of this House both the construction and future opera- tion of the line should be committed to private hands." Mr. Walter Shanly, the eminent engineer, a strong Con- servative, supported the motion, which came to nothing. Iu the same year Mr. Jones of Leeds and Grenville, an independent Conservative, moved that the construction and management of the Interolonial should be taken out of the hands of the Commission and placed under the control of the Government. He was weary of seeing Ministers, when mt:sdeeds and abuses came to light, hid- ing behind the Commission, while the Commission, in turn, shuffled the blame on Ministers; and desired to hold the Cabinet to strict account. Sir John Macdonald could not justify all that took place and declared (April 12, 1870) that "constructioR was one thing, the working of the road another, and after construction the Government might lease to the Grand Trunk," or to some other company. He confessed teat "if the railway were worked by the Government it would be subject to the evil of having political friends appointed to positions for which they were not fitted." In 1581 iHansard, January 171, when the Canadian Pacific was under discussion, he went farther and said it was "actually impossible" for the Gov- erutuent to ran the Intercolouial satis- factorily, atinfactorily, giving the reasons why; con- sequently the Government "had every right to use all their exertions,' in order to relieve themselves and the eonntry of the obligation of building" the Canadian Pacific, "and of the still greater obliga- tion of running it." Sir John's authority ought to carry at least as inuch weight with the Conserve- tiee party as the opinions of Mr. Elgin, Whose management of the Intercolouial Under Goternmeatownership they laugh "central packing hone" system of co- operative gllippiug is being adopts.t iu many localities, and also "power Spray- ing," as iatrodueed itt Oxford county lust season by the fruit division of the department of agriculture, Ottawa, is now a live question. Local assaciatiops are purchasing outfits, and the work of spraying the trees will be performed by competent men for the menlbera. Auotker thin; that Gentle to stitunlate fruit growing is the fact that while last season's Crop was all enorinons one, the fruit found a ready market at high prices. The Earopeau markets took some 3,500,000 barrels, while the North• west took large gaautities. There is no dauger of over -production, providing the fruit is of good quality anti properly and honestly packed. THERE'S MONEY IN ORCHARDS.

The CARNEGIE LIBRARIES. At a meeting of the Ontario Librarians' Association at Toronto Secretary E. A. Hardy read an interesting paper on li- braries in Ontario. During the past eighteen months nineteen libraries have been built in Ontario'with Carnegie dona- tions, and three other hnildiugs have been erected. In addition two Carnegie donations have beets accepted and not utilized; Toronto, $350,000 and St. Thomas, $15,000. Thorold declined a douation, tied three are not yet finally arranged, those to Pembroke, Sault Ste. Marie and Fort William. The Carnegie libraries have been erected as follows: Berlin, $24,500; Brantford, $30,000; Brookville, $15,000; Chatham, $19,000; Colliugwood, $12,500; Cornwall, $7,-000; Galt, $20,000; Lindsay, $18,000; Ottawa, $100,000; Goderich, $10.000; Guelph, 120,000; Palmerston, 1310,000; Paris, $10,000; Sarnia, $15,000; St. Cathar- ines, $25,000: Smith's Falls, $11,000; Stratford, $15,000; Waterloo, $10,000: Windsor, $27,000; total, $390,000. The Cost of.Railways. Some time ago Mr. Roblin, Premier of Manitoba, was orediOd with saying, iu reply to Mr. Sifton, : that rates on the Grand Trunk Pacific: cannot fail to be higher than those fon the Canadian Northern, because it •7111 cost more per mile. This opinion is being circulated in the Tory press as •that of au unim- peachable authority. j The theory of the cheaper the road the Iower the rate is obviously unsound. The New York Central has cost probably thrice as much per mile as the Canadian Northern, yet its rates are a good deal lower. The Grand Trunk proper, built 50 years ago, cost nearly four times more per mile between Montreal and Toronto than the Canadian Pacific betweeu the i same termini; but it cannot charge more I for freight or passengers under peril of Iosing ail its busiuess. On Mr. Roblin's principle, the poorest tanbark railway iu the country, with the stiffest grades and curvatures, ought to be ably to carry for less than first-class lines; whereas, as he must know, the exactopposlte is the case, The Canadian Northern is an excel- lent road of its kind.. But it is hardly fair for Mr. Roblin to ignore its Iimita- tions. At present it is entirely a prairie line, and, having no connections East save those now being arranged over the Canadian Pacific, and none at all West, is debarred front handling transcontin- ental traffic, and even such local traffic as cattle in winter. Practically speak- ing, it is at present a grain road; and to make its cost, whatever it may have been, a standard of comparison for the cost of a transcontinental system like the Grand Trunk Pacific, which will trans- port not wheat alone, but traffic of all sorts, bearing higher rates and travelling longer distances, is a performance scarcely worthy of one. in Mr. Roblin's position. The Treating System. It is a well-known fact that a great many men who do very little work, do a great deal of drinking. In most in- stances the foolish "good nature," of the treating system explains the mystery. ane Montreal Star says:— The treating system is responsible for an immense amount of vice, crime, pov- erty overty and misery. There may be some- thing to say in its favor; but we have never heard an argument seriously ad- ; vaned on that side of the question. The subject of treating has nothing to do with the question of prohibition, of total !! abetinence, of legislation, or of the cur. tailment in any shape or form, of indiv idual liberty. It is purely and simply a matter of common sense, to be dealt with by every man for himself. The amount of treating done during business houre, in the bneiness centres of Mon- treal is something that must be seen to be realized. That it makes for business or professional. edicieney, Nobody will for a moment pretend. That it sends a good many young men, and for teat matter, a goodmany oltl men, to the devil, every business man and prates• signal matt knowb. The man who makes up his mind to pay for all his own and nobody else's drinks will spend a good deal less &red drink a good deal less and be the better for both savings. M/NACP'It WAISTEt .

Toronto, April 20.—It was thought yesterday that a division might be reached in the Legislature on the bill to aid the Algoina Central Italie way and the "Soo" industrit:s, but an unexpected discussion on univer- sity matters delayed the start of the debate, and the great fire downtown prevented the finish. It will be re- al.. to -day - Na 'temperance Legislation. Mr. Whitney, when the orders of the day were called, asked if it was the intention of the Government to bring in this session legislation of any kind regarding the; liquor traf- fic. The Premier replied that it was needless to say at this stage of the session that it was not at all prob- able that there would be any legis- lation. Mr. Wbitney asked whether the re- port of the committee on Mr. Petty - piece's railway taxation bill, which was adopted by the House, would bo incorporated in the Government's railway taxation bill. The Premier replied that there would not be any amendment with regard to the taxing of the cars of car -loaning companies. Mr. Whitney said what he wanted to know was as to the correctness of a morning report that the Govern- ment would take authority to ap- point, Mr. Pettypiecc to the commis- sion. The Premier said that they had. not been able to (rattle legislation to incorporate the substance of the re- port on T1r. Pettyptece's bill. A commission would bo appointed to gather information as to the legis- lation in the States on the subject. He had been Iooking into the legis- lation of Michigan and Indiana, and the more it was studied the wider the question appeared. The Govern- ment had not discussed the appoint- ment ppointment of a commission, but as far as he knew there would he no legisla- tion to permit the appointment of Mr. Pottypieco or any other member of the House. The Government's suppictnentary revenue bill. exhaust- ed the legislation on the subject this session. lty Cnlvei•'s nds. Mr. WThhitneys, on the thirdFriereading of the bill to amend the university act, quoted figures to show the great advance in higher education in the State of New fork and the largo sums spent on it. If Ontario did not spend more, it would soon fall so far behind that it could never re- cover, and the Provincial University would be of no value. The Premier, in reply to a deputation asking for a physics building, had expressed sympathy, but asked would the House provide it just now. Tar. Whitney suggested to try the House. Barked Up Wreup Tree. Mr. Whitney said that The Globe had attacked Mr. Laudon as Presi- dent. IIB agreed with The Globo that there were "deadwood" and "misfits" there, but the point was that the President had no power to remove them.
