NATES AND COMMENTS.
Speaker Charlton of the Legislature
who has just returued from a trip to pia
lumber Damps, reports that the out of
pine will be considerably smaller in the
Province this year than it has been for a
number of years. Some of the lumber -
aeon got almost their ordinary cut, but
others fell away below on account of the
heavy snow in many localities. Mr.
Charlton reports that the drives are all
open, the ic'e bei>ig all out of the small
lakes and streams.

its divisions, we have tate ono strong

in the way of the union referred to were

The in,nn.,iraut arrivals from Great
Britaiu during the last four months
numbered 15,693, as against 14,783 for
the same ptrlod of last year. The int-
, migrant arrivals from Europe numbered
10,268, as compared with 11,283. This
is an increase of 910 in British arrivals
and a decrease of 1,114 in arrivals from
the. Continent of Europe. The net de•
crease is only 204. The fact that immi-
gration from Great Britain continues to
increase gives the authorities much
satisfaction.

From present indications the Domin-
ion surplus of or din a r y revenue
over ordinary expenditure at the end
of the fiscal year will amount to $16
000,000 or more, and there will be a re-
duction in the national debt of some $7,-
000,000, The official statement of re-
eeipts and expenditures for the ten
months ending April 30th was issued
last week but it is scarcely correct for
purposes of comparison, seeing that sev-
eral items of expenditure are not yet
included in it. However, taking the
statement as it stands, the revenue on
consolidated account amounts to 856.-
728,716, which is $1,366.875 more than
for the same period of last year, and
exceeds the expenditure on the consoli-
dated fund account by $16,915,903.
Over all expenditures combined there is
a sarcine of $13,401,281.
LIFE INSURANCE IN CANADA.
"It is commonly said," says the Pall
Mali Gazette, "that the British Life
offices have the beat article to sell in the
world, but are the worst sellers of it.
This may be partly true, but there is
sound reason back of the British dislike
for the pushing method of the Americans
in sortie colonial offices. In 1903, Brit-
ish offices took $3,132,904 of new assnr- j the highest marks in this subject at the
antes; Canadian officers, $53,170,5504. recent examinations. It is worth $70.
Ont of 15 British companies registered
in the Dominion, eight have ceased to
take any new assurances, and only two
of the remainder transact any consider-
able amount on time. The high rate of
interest obtainable for investment in
Canada is coanteraoted by the high ex-
peuditure; but now, with the great fall
in the yield from interest and expendi-
ture increasing, fe ve companies find any
benefit in the continuance of Canadian
business. In fire insurance, British
oompanies took 70 per bent. of the whole
premium income derivable from. Cau-
eda in 1003. The premium income was
$8,016,050; in 1002, $7,918,298.

On Sunday last the anniverary ser-
vices ill couuectiou with the Wingham
Methodist Sunday School were otteerv-
ed, Rev. Dr. Warner, principal of
Abut/ CoIIege, St. Thomas, being the
preacher for the day. In the morning
the members of the Sunday S:houl
occupied the centre seats of the church,
and Rev. Dr. Warner gave a very prac-
tical and instructive talk, his remarks
being specially directed to the children.
He also addressed the Sunday School in
the afternoon aud delivered an appropri-
ate sermon in the evening. Music suit-
able to the occasion was rendered by the
choir.
Rev. B. C. Sircar, B. A., preached
in the Baptist church on Suuday last to
large congregations. Mr Sircar is a
native of India, and a graduate of
Calcutta University. He has been
speuding two years at the Bible Train-
ing School in Toronto, Mr. Sirdar is a
very fluent speaker and handles the
English language in a very pleasing
manner. In the morning he spoke on
Missions and in the evening gave a
general talk on India, and his addresses
were full of information and much en-
joyed by the congregations. Mr Sircar
sailed on Tuesday from New York for
India and on arriving home will become
Principal of one of India's Univesities.
The many friends of Rev. D. Perrie,
will be sorry to hear that he is not re-
covering from bis recent illness as rapid-
ly as was expected. Last week Mr, Per-
rie had another attack of illness and he
will be obliged to take a few weeks'
rest. He occupied his ove4 pulpit on
Sunday morning and Rev. J. J. Hestia,
of Belgrave took the work in the evening.
It is expected that Mr. S. E. Beckett,
who so acceptably took the services for
two Sandays last summer will preach in
the church for the next few Sundays.
Mr. Beckett was successful in capturing
the Chancellor's scbolarshipin Theology

said Conductor Broad. of the Grand
Trunk, who is knuwvu locally as "The

from Southampton to Harrisburg, "but
I believe by the 24th of May growth will
be quite as far advanced as it was the
same period last year. I have never yet
known the spring to open very early
without a set back occurring later on,
and I have never known a late spring in
which more rapid growth did not make
up for the early delay." Mr. Broad,says
that his Japanese plums at Southampton
came through the winter without injury,
but his Crimsou Rambler rose was killed
back ten feet to the snow -line.

From the St. Louis Republican,
The following story about James J
Hill, the railroad president, is told in
North- West States. Mr. Hill was talk -
lug to soma friends iu a hotel lately
when a youug man bustled up to him
and said: ''Mr. Hill, you claimed a year
ago that no one need be ant of a job in
this part of the country."
"I did," admitted M.r. Hill.
"Well, your statement is incorrect,"
declared the Young man. "I bave been
hustliug for a job for the past six months
and can't get work at anything I eau
do."
"That's just it," observed Mr, Hill.
"What can you do?"
"Have had several years' experience
as a stenographer, am an expert book-
keeper, have been a shipping clerk, and
know the business; am an Al advertising
man; also a first-class book agent," said
the young man in one breath.
It ended with Hill giving a letter to
the Great Northern office in St. Paul.
He was going to try out the young man
and see what was in him.
"Thank you, Mr. Hill," he ejaculated
as he hurried away, bat in moment he
was back again.
"Say, Mr. Hill," he asked, "do I take
the breakbeam to St. Paul?"
He got a pass.

Toronto, May 10, -There was another
heavy run of cattle at the city cattle
market to -day, consisting of 100 cars,
with 1,769 head of cattle, 472 sheep And
lambs, 1,600 hogs and 187 calves. The
market on the whole was fair and prices
steady.
Export -Trade was a little slow to
ward the close in the export trade owing
to the uncertainty as to dates of sailing
from Montreal. There are many yards.
full of cattle, waiting over in the mar-
ket, which should have bee n shipped
over a week ago. Until these are shipp-
ed buyers are not over anxious to load
themselves with more. While there are
five or six boats which have come up to
Montreal, it is not yet certain whether
they will sail this week, owing to the
large gnautities of ice still in the river.
But though trade was slower on this
account than it perhaps would have been
still the market held steady at from $4.75
to $4.00.
Butchers -There is a good fair market
for the best butchers' cattle, at steady
prices. Butchers' cows, however, are
easier. They have commanded higher
prices of late than the condition of the
retail beef trade would. warrant.
Stockers and feeders --The market is
steady, with a fair demand for good
stock.
Sheep and Iambs -Trade was good;
everythiug sold out early and prospects
steady. Hogs --Market steady, with no changes
