The bacon mar ket is gut .0 as uulimited us (iia beef mar• ket, cousequeutly as little likelihood of a glut. Of late years, since the farmers of O.itari . have devoted considerable study to the requirements of the British bacon market and have learned to pro- duce to a Certaiu exteut the quality waut- ed, Irish and Danish bacon, which pre- viously supplied the English market, has to a. great exteut beeu discarded and Cauadiau bacon takeu the place. If we are to raiutaie and develop our trade iu bacon with Great Britaiu, it is of the greatest importance that we pay strict atteutiou to quality. Nut ouly must our bogs be bred to give the desired couforma- tiou but they must be fed and mrtuaged iu such a way as to give the desired quality. One of the greatest defects in quality with which our packers have to contend, is a tendency of some sides to turn soft duriug the process of curing. Softness has nothiug to do with fatness; in fact a thiu side is more apt to develop softuess than a fat one. In a soft side the fat is soft and spongy, and sometimes even the lean is affected. There are all degrees of softness up to a mere slight tender- ness; bat auy degree of teuderuess de- tracts very much from the value of a side, and a really soft bide is practically worthless. The per tentage, of soft sides is sometimes very high, even as high as 40 per cent. of the total et certain seasons of the year„ It will, therefore, be easily understood that suoh a condition aepre- sents an euormous shrinkage in value to say nothing of the injury of the reputa- tion of our bacon iu Britain. This is not a matter therefore which affects merely the packer. It affects the bacon indus- try es a whole; and the farmer, sooner or later, must shoulder the loss. It is important, therefore, that the farmer should pay particular attention to the question of quality. C:fsual u•lvertisemefits aceeptttd up to neem Wednesday of each week. ESTABLISHED 1S7.4.

He has forwarded his applica- tion asking superafemetiou to the Mini ster of Finance. This was furubhadOW• ed in his last annual report.

It is clear from the context that the word the Premier substituted. "stranger," accur- ately couveys the thought to whi•,li he was givina expression. Nor was the term applied in au offensive way. The argument hinged upon the General's uufautiltariry with Uauadiuu ideas, rind the iuteetiott wee to show [hut in that sense he was a stranger.

If you are nervous or worried or suffer froin a combination el languor nun irritation you need a nerve touio, and Dr. Williams' Piuk Pilis are absolutely the best thing iu the world for you. You Esau only get rid of nervousness through feeding your nerves with rich. red blood, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis actually make new blood. There is up doubt about this -thousands can testify to the blood -making, nerve restoring qualities of these pills. St. Vitus dance is one of the most severe forms of nervousness. and Mrs. H. Hevenor, of Gravenhurst Ont., tells how these .pills cured her little boy. She says: "At the age of eight my tittle boy was attacked with St. Vitus dance, from which he suffered in a severe form. His nerves twitched to suoh an extent that he was almost helpless, and had to be constantly watched. He was under several doctors at, different times, hut they did not help,him. so I decided to try Dr. Williams' Ptak Pills and these have completely cured hint, and now not ,t sieu ot the tronhle remains." When you buy these pills always look et the box and see that the hill name Dr. Williams Piuk Pills for Pale People is printed on the wrapoer, and refuse to take anything else.

THE NEW TARIFF. The following is a summary of the tariff changes brought down in the Bud- get speech. The Government proposes to refer the question of a tnriff to a Royal Commis- sion, meanwhile s'iveral subjects are dealt with. The application of the Stan- dard Oil Company for the reductiou of the duty ou crude oil is favorably re- ceived. Crude oil ender 40 free. Refin- ed oil reduced from 5 to 2!-e cents per DUNDONALD'S DISMISSAL. Bystander, commenting in The Weekly San on the Duudonald affair says: - "That. Lord Dundonald did not take the right way of giving expression to his complaint against the Government is nndeniable. Nor can any fault be found with the Government for asserting its dignity and upholding the rules of office. For the rest, these quarrels between the party Government of Canada and the representatives of the ' Imperial War Office have always been3going ou, and will go on so long as the -dual authority is retained. One Imperial commander of militia did get through his term of office, but he escaped friction simply by ivaction. Harmony can be secured only by introducing unity of administration, in other words, by vesting tie authority in the responsible Minister alone. Cana- da will have in this as i e other matters to act upon Lord Minto's pregnant hint she is "uo longer a plantatiot, but a na- tion." Six millions of tolerably intelli- gent people must undertake, in respect to military administration as in other respects, to govern or misgovern them- selves. FALL FAIRS AND T -1EI.R GRANTS.

Cantelon Bros. sold a quan- tity of batter to a firm in Halifax and hhipped it from a station on the G. T. R. in this county. To protect themselves they took the bill of lading in their owo name (instructing the railway to advice the purchasers), and sent it to Halifax through the brink, attaching a draft on the purchasers for the amount of tIle price so that the draft must be paid before the purchasers could get the butter. By some error on the part of the railway company's agents the butter was delivered to the purchasers without the order of Cantelou Bros. and without the bill of lading and then the purchasers resisted payment. Messrs. Cantelou demanded settlement for tbe butter from the G. T. R.., claim- ing that through the mistake made they were entitled to damages to that extent.

The budget debate was resumed by Robert Holmes, who in pointed and vigorous style discussed the coutentiou of Opposition speakers that there was nothing in the budget. Was it, he asked nothing that the Finance Minister was able to aunouce a surplus for last year of $1.4,000,000, and to estimate a surplus for this year of $16,500,000, the largest in the history of the Dominion? It became the happy lot of the Finance Minister to announce a substautaal surplus seven years in succession; and he reported a total surplus during these seven years of Liberal rule of $57,000,000. Was that nothing, or was it nothing that Mr. Fieldiug announced.

Yet, said Mr. Holmes, in face of all these incon- trovertible evidences of the marvellous and unequalled prosperity of this wisely and well -governed Dominion, there are men in the House who have the unblush- ing audacity to say of the best budget ever brought down: "There is nothing iu it."

"The Wilkie shot is what we call a special stroke Iu the game of golf," said a New Orleans man. '"Phis stroke is so called all over the south and was given its name because it was made by a man named Wilkie, a member of the New Orleans Golf club. "It was one of the prettiest plays I ever saw and was made during a match. Wilkie drove off from the ninth hole, and his ball landed In a small creek, which was one of the hazards in the course. The ball was lighter than the water and floated. To take It out and begin play over again .meant the loss of two strokes and the hole, se Wilkie waded into the water, which was about two feet deep, and played the ball from there. IIe Made a pretty stroke and was on the green, making It in two. IIe holed out i►i three, which is bogey for that hole. It was a cold day, and that water was not pleasant, but the net gained Wilkie lasting fame,. and his, stroke will always with us be called a 'Wilkie shot." The Girl of the Netherlands. The Dutch girl does not enjoy any- thing like the numount of freedom grunted to her English or American sister. She is a very carefully chap- eroned young person, and when she goes to the theater it is with her elders,. - not merely with a friend or two of her own age. At the dances she attends, songs, 1•eeltatious and inutile for the entertainment of the elders forth a part of the regular programme, and the chaperons sit at tables socially enjoy- ing their coffee or other refreshments, while the young folk glide over the, waxed floor to tbe strains of the latest. waltz. Dutch maidens have to make the best of their opportunities of amusement; for when it pleases their parents to seek the quiet of home they Must meekly accompany them. Iu: their country the idea of a girl being nnchaperoled at n dance is not to be thought of -at any rate, not yet. -Ex- change. Whistler Before Whistler. Mortimer elenpes told the following story of Whistler, who was to deliver au address one day to the Society of British Artists: "The master at length entered, faultlessly dressed, walking with a swinging, jaunty step, evident- ly vidently quite delighted with himself and the world in general. He passed Clown the gallery, ignoring the nssembled mem- bers, and walked tip to his own picture;. And there ire stayed for quite fifteen minutes, regarding. it with a satisfied expression, Stepping now backward, now forward, canting his head end dusting the surface of the glass with a. silk pocket handkerchief. We watched him open mouthed. Suddenly he turned round, beamed upon tis and uttered but two words-liravo, Jimmy!' -then took my arm and hurried ole out of tate gals_ lery, talking volubly the while." A Bottle of Lnnatinges. Three or four languages strove for mastery in ancient Gaul, which is now France. German was spoken by the 12,000 Frank invaders. Popular Laths was spoken by 0,000,000 Gallo -Romans. Literary Latin was the language of the church and of literature. tow Latin was nfterwnrd the innguage of the ad- ministration. German was the lint to succumb. In four centuries it ceased to be understood by the soldiers, end in seventy yours more it had become an object of ridicule. But it survives lit more than 000 words, expressing the things of government, law and war, olid thus forms no Ineignlficutat part of the b'renelf language. i
