NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Increases juriethction for Division
Courts and larger fees for the clerks
were asked by resolution at the annual
meeting of the Divisiou Court Clerks'
Association of Ontario, at the annual
meeting, held in Toronto last week. The
request to increased jurisdiction includ-
es and an extension from $200 to $$100 in
the case of signed documents, from $100
to $300 in open accounts, and from $G0
to $150 in torts.
The Toronto World in discussing the
approach of the election, says that in
Ontario the redistribution is said to be
worth ten seats " to the Liberals, It
says: "Two cautious party men got to-
gether the other day. The Conservative
claimed a majority of 12, while the Lib-
eral contended that the parties would
pull out even in Ontario." If the Tories
are to have no more than 12 majority in
Ontario how can they hope to win? And
if the Liberals go to work in earnest they
should have a majority in Ontario, and
bring it into line with the other Provinces.

SHEEP IN DEMAND.
The improved demand for breeding
Sheep that has sprung up iu the last few
months, as the result of rising prices for
wool and mutton, and that promises to
continue for some time. is a welcome
condition, as a relief front the indiffer-
ence prevailing in this country in the
past few years iu regard to this useful
and generally profitable class of farm
stook. The men who have taken an in-
terest and pride in their flocks and have
given them reasonable care, are unanim-
ously of the opinion that no other Wass
of stook they have handled has paid,them
so well, taking the average of years and
the ups and downs of the times to which
all sorts of stook are -subject, No other
class of stook.regniree so little labor in
their care and attention the year around
as sheep. The price of wool it is true,
has been very low for some years, but it
is a crop that no :other class of stock
yields and even at present prices, will
nearly if not quite pay the cost of the
animal's winter board. Wool, like other
commodities, has its ups and downs in
the market, and the prospect for good
prices is now improving, and likely to
continue to do so for some time. If the
prices for sheep go up, as they are doing
and are likely to do, farmers who have
neglected and despised them will doubt-
less soon be tumbling over each other to
get them consistently with theirold-time
habit of baying when the stock is high,
and selling out when it is low. There
are few farms in all of eastern Canada
on which a small flock of sheep may not
bo profitably kept, and those who con-
template establishing one will do well to
make their purchases early this fall, as
United States buyers are already scour-
ing the country for all they eau secure,
and a better selection may be obtained
now than will be possible later on.
Those who have surplus stock to dispose
of will do well to take good care of them
giving them the run of fresh pastures,
and keeping them clean, well trimmed
and free from burs, so that they may
show to hest advantage and attract buy-
ers, when it will be only necessary to let
it be known that they have them for sale
in order to secure ready purchasers. -

Home Magazine.")
The North Bruce Liberal convention
was held at Port Elgin ou .Friday and
nominated Mr. J. E, Campbell of Hep-
worth for the House of Commons. Every
municipality iu the coustitueney was
largely represented, and a keen interest
was taken in the proceedings. The con-
test was between Mr. Campbell and Mr.
John Tolmie, M. P., the vote of the del-
egates standing 83 to 79 in favor of the
former. Resolutions were passed ap-
proving of the legislative and administra-
tive policy of the Liberal Governments
NI by Sir. Wilfred Laurier and Wm.
Geo. W. Ross. The new riding of North
Bruce extends from Kincardine to To-
bermoray, and will be the scene of a keen
contest when the election comes on. The
Conservatives meet at Tara on October
4th to select their standard-bearer.
The signs of the times all point to an
early dissolution of the Dominion Par-
liament. It is not unlikely that the
elections will take place early in Nov-
ember. But come when they may the
result is not difficult to forecast -the
Laurier Government will be returned by
a majority at least equal to that it has
in the present parliament. The reports
from all the provinces show the Liberal
strength increasing and confident expres-
sions of opinion of gains of seats. The
removal of the gerrymander in Ontario
will restore to the Liberal column many
constituencies "lost awhile" through its
iniquitous carving up of the counties. -

WESTERN PROSPERITY.
It is estunated by accepted authority
that the average yield of wheat through-
out the Canadian Northwest is some-
thing over fourteen bushels to the acre.
Considerable damage has been sustained
from rust, were it not for this the crop
this year would have reached the enor-
mous total of 67,000,000 bushels. As it
is not less than 50,000,000 of bushels will
be harvested. The crop of 1903 was
53,000,000 bushels. Wheat in the North-
west lastyear sold at G0c a bushel, realiz-
ing $31,800,000. This year's crop, al-
though 8,000,000 bushels short of last
year, 18 selling 85o, which will produce
$42,500,000, or $10,700,000 more than last
year. Thus we find that fourteen bushels
to the acre with wheat hovering around
the dollar mark is better than twenty-
five bushels some other years. It is
estimated that there will be more money
paid out for this season's crop in western
Canada than for any crop in the coun-
try's history.

has just It, on receive 1. After a careful
review of the i ules and regulations as
enutit d ed in the priza net, we Itotice that
the only ieupnrtnut change is with refer-
Fmr. s to the Daisy Test. Ia former years
the test started on Monday of the week
of the Suuw and ended on Wednesday.
This nr, essit tsd the closing of the

large amouut4 of glarical work involved,
the results of the t* st could not bo post-

meet il:ts wonted iu the iuterest of both
exhibitors and visitors by hatiug the
test begin on Saturday and end on Mon-
day. Visitors will now have access to
the Dairy Department during the full
time of the show, and the complete re-
sults of the test can be posted not later
than Wednesday. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have individual results posh
ed in front of each cow, so that complete
information will he available to visitors
at the time they are exruliuing the com-
peting animals. A substantial increase
has been male in tlio atnonnt of the
prizes, the offering fur regul.tr and
special prizes utektug a total value of
$8252 50. This amount is apportioned
to the different departments as follows: -
Beef Cattle, $1922 00; Dairy Cattle,
$12.10 00; Sheep, :1552.00; Swine and
Bacon Hogs, $1520 00; Poultry, $1417.50;
Pet Stock and Dressed Poultry, $565.00;
Total aronut of prizes, $$'3252.50. • It
will be seen from the above figures that
exhibitors who succeed iu showing win-
ning stock, will have ample reward for
their efforts iu direct,oash returus. Be
sides this, exhibits n4 the Winter Fair
have attained a standard for quality
which gives to exhibitors the maximum
amount of advertising • value. Those
who intend entering should now be giv-
ing particular atteutiou to the fitting of
their animals.
Analyzing a Cry.
A Bystander, iu Weekly Sun.
It is wonderful • how much may be
done by the persistent repetition of a
phrase. Once more the cry is raised for
an increase of protection 0 "Canadian
industries." What true Cauadian
would not wish to protect Canadian
industries to the utmost' of his power?
But are not all useful occupations indus-
tries, those the of farmer,the storekeeper,
the staffs of our banks and financial
institutions, of the different professions,
of the artisan in all lines,and of the day -
laborer, industries, as well as the occu-
pation of the manufaeturer? Is pro-
tection afforded to all these indus-
tries by making them pay the mann-
facturer an extra price for his goods?
Do they gain anything by keeping alive
at their cost any trade which proclaims
itself unprofitable by calling on the tax-
payer for support? When the protec-
tionist is compelled to look not only to
the interest of the producer, but to that
of the consumer, his case falls to the
ground. At least he would hardly be
bold enough to maintain that the con-
sumer is protected by being taxed.
Absolute free trade, we know, is at
present out of the question. We most
have a tariff for revenue. What we
want is that is shall be for the public
necessities ouly, not for the private gain
of particular firms. Nor should we ever
desire to deal inconsiderately with any
vested interests, formed under the exist-
ing system, unfair to the community at
large as that system may have been. We
only ask that the vested interests shall
not be permitted to exercise a back-
stairs influence over the policy of the
Government. We have now come to
the point of choosing for our future
legislation one of the two principles,
protectionism or free trade. It is a
critical moment in the history of Cana-
dian commerce. We cannot afford to
bo misled by phrases which present the
profit of the few as the interest of the
people at large.
LISTEN TO OTHERS.
The man who prides himself on doing
what he thinks best regardless of the
views of other people is usually a bump-
tious ass who makes lots of trouble for
himself as well as for others. "I do not
care what people think of me so long as
I know I'm'right," said one of this kid-
ney recently from the platform of a re-
ligions meeting. Just the man whose
wife and employees do not take any
stook in him may be able to out talk and
out sing the highest seraph, but this re-
ligion is not worth a five Cent piece with
a hole in it. A look in a glass now and
then is good for a fellow. it keeps down
pride. Give a good deal of attention to
what people think of you. Above every
thing don't be one Of those fools with
orbits of their own who go shooting
through spate, and finally Shoot off into
space and no more is heard of thein,
Dont be above taking counsel, and whet►
you get people interested enough in your
affairs to give you advice make good use
of your privilege. "He that harkeneth
unto counsel is wire."-t+Solomon" in

HOW TO GROW OLD.
Far from the Storms that are lashing the
ogean;
Nearer oagh day to the blessed home-
light ;
Far from the waves that are wild with
oomutotiou;
Under full sail, and the harbor in sight;
Growing old cheerfully,
Cheerful and bright;
Past all the winds that are adverse and
ohilliug:
Past all the islands that hired thee to
rest:
Past all the currents that lured thee, un-
willing.
Far from the course to the land of the
bleat.
Growing old peacefully,
Peaceful!y and bleat.
Never a feeling ot tiovy or sorrow
When the bright faces 01 children are
seen;
Never a year from; the yoang wouldst
thou borrow;
Thou dost remember what lieth between
Growing old willingly,
Thankful, serene.
Eyes that grow dint to the earth and its
glory,
Have a sweet recompense youth cannot
know;
Ears that grow dull to the world andiits
story
Drink in the songs that from paradise
flow,
Growing old graciously-
, Christian -like grow.

TWIN VICES.
Waste and laziness run hand in hand
and when you get a strong combination
of both you have a rascal. The man
who dons not do his stint in the world,
and who adds to this crime the waste of
the products of others' industry should
be made to smart. There are some men
8o lazy and so mean that if it were not
for the fear of death they would not
work their jaws to masticate their food.
These are the drones in the hive that
ought to be chased from the hive and
left to an honest day's work or starve.
It was cattle of this description that the
wise man referred to when ho said "The
slothful mau roasteth not that which he
took in hunting." He says also, "The
substance of a diligent mau is precious."
To the diligent, progressive, alert man
everything is precious. He gathers the
moments, the opportunities, and even
the mistakes and waste of others and
tarns all to advantage. It is known
that a Hebrew will grow rich upon the
scrap pile. The successful tman is the
one who counts nothing as worthless. -

No Moro Operations.
The day of operations for piles is past
for all who kuow of the efficacy of Dr.
Chase's (Nutmeat as a cure for this hor-
rible ailment. Is doesn't matter what
form of piles you have, so long as you
use Dr. Chase's Ointment carefully and
plentifully, it will soon bring relief and
care. Ask your friends and neighbors
what they know about this preparation.
Manufacturing in Canada.
Mr. Geo. R. Drummond, late presi-
dent of the Canadian Manufacturers,
speaking at the annual meeting in Mon-
treal said in part as follows: -Taking
stook of the Canadian manufacturing
indnstries, the President estimated that
not less than $520,000,000 of capital is
invested in manufacturing in Canada as
compared with $159,000,000 in 1889, He
quoted the census returns for 1801 to
show that the total production of 14,650
factories, employing five hands and over,
was $481,053,375, to produce which
344,095 workpeople and clerks were
employed at an annual wage of $113,283,-
146. The raw material consumed in the
production of these finished goods was
valued at $266,527,858, leaving a net
profit to the country of $214,525,517. In
estimating these figures only factories
employing five hands or over were in-
cluded in the census statistics, so that
it is not correct to measure our advance
by companion with the figures of the
1891 census, which only credited ns with
a less number of factories by 585 than
we have in the census, of ten years
later.
In making a comparison of the re-
lative importance of the manufacturing
industries, the President incidentally
quoted the census statistics to show that
of the 75,968 -manufacturing establish-
ment producing $476,258,886 reported in
1891, no lege than 61,903 employed loss
than five hands, and pronged only $107,-
562,163, and a computation on the same
basis would give a total production for
1901 of $621,424,750, exceeding in valve
by nearly *110,000,000 the combined pro.
duction of oar agricultural, dairying,
mineral, forest and fishery industries.
The wages paid id industrial pursuits
amounted to $115,888,146, as against
$24,228,516 for agrioultural work, ex -
elusive of the' wages earned by the
farmers.

A. PARISIAN BEAUTY.
MME, TALLJEN, WHO, IT IS ASSERTED,
SNUBBED NAPOLEON. -
A Woman *Whose Entrancing Leven..
nage Daaaled Even the Woij'en of
the French Capital. -The mild sass
Inoireteive Young Bonaparte.
During the directoire alarie de' Medi-
ci's palace became the center of gov-
ernment and Barras reigned there un-
der the inspiration of Mme, Tallien. It
was she who organized all the fetes
and ceremonies which enlivened Paris
after the Terror. In 1706 the beautiful
Spaniard was twenty-three and had al-
ready had an eventful past. The daugh-
ter of a financier named Cabarrus, she
bad. married at the age of sixteen the,
Marquis de Fontenny, been divorced
from him in 1793 and bad remarried, a
few months after, Tallien, the conven-
tionnel.
Arrestedo2
May ....,0,1 s 94, she was im-
prisoned in Les Carmes, and it was
from here that she wrote the stinging
epistles to her husband which induced
that wavering spirit to dare all in the
attempt to set her free. Armed with.
a dagger in case of failure and all the
courage he could muster, Tallien on
the famous 9th Thermidor attacked
Robespierre in a debate which brought
about the fall of the "sea green mon-
ster."
The reign of terror came to an end,
the prisons disgorged their victims, and
Mme. Tallien received from the people
the title of Notre Dame de Thermidor.
The world was at her. feet, and she daz-
zled it by her beauty and her charm,
her lovers and her luxury. Even wom-
en forgot to be jealous and acknowledg-
ed what all men proclaimed. The foI-
lowing description is from the pen of
one of her own sex, Mme. de Chaste -
nay: ti:•
".lime. Tallien came every day to
visit Barras. I do not think it possible
to be, lovelier than this woman was
then. I shall always sec her like a
fairy queen among the rest, her beau-
tiful black hair coiled simply on her
head without any ornament, round her
neck a single string of Large pearls.
Site wore a white underdress and
tunic of ink crepe, and, sitting on the,
ground playing with a child of three,
the son of one of Barras' friends, they
made a group which no classic sculp-
ture could surpass."
Barras tells us with gre: naivete, in
his memoirs, that the "Lille Corsican"
only turned his attention to Josephine
Beauharnais after a fruitless attempt
to obtain favor with Mme. Tallien and
that this lady had treated him with
great disdain, telling him "she could do
better for herself." This account of
the affair coming front any other quar-
ter would be more credible.
A considerable event was now to
take place at the Luxembourg -name*,
the reception given to General Bona-
parte after the campaign of Italy. For
this ceremony (Dec. 10, 1797) the court-
yard of the palace was transformed
into a sort of temple, and an altar to
la Petrie erected in the grand entrance
hall. The five directors, with Barras
at their head, attired themselves as
Romans, while Taileyrand, the min-
ister of foreign affairs, was prepared
with an elaborate harangue.
The scene was made additionally
brilliant by the presence of many la-
dies, whose splendid jewels and rich
dresses did honor to the occasion,
awhile their eager faces and murmured
admiration betrayed their interest in
the young hero. Among these groups
not the least noticeable were Mme. de
Steel and lime. Recamier-"Wit and
Beauty," as Napoleon himself named
them.
Alone of nil the assembly the future
emperor had assumed no imposing cos-
tume. IIis uniform, that of a general of
the Revolution, suggested a character
of republican simplicity, while his pal-
lor, his gravity and quiet demeanor
seemed to deprecate the ceremony of
which he was the object. The tone of
his speech was equally modest, his
theme the pride he felt in his country's
scientific conquests and her progress
in the paths of peace.
Surely no government could suspect
a rival in so well disposed a young
man. Two years later the coup d'etat
of Brumaire drove Barras from the
Luxembourg, and the first assembly,
which in France has borne the title of
senate, began its sittings in the palace.

The violinist had been invited to R
"family dinner," but it proved that sev-
eral relatives of his host were present
and their demands for music were most
persistent.
The violinist played three times, and
then, when.the applause after his third
solo had died away, be turned to his
host.
"And now, monsieur," he said eager-
ly, "now it is that you will show us
how you sell ze flour in ze wheat pit.

Parisians who suspect adulteration
in the food or drink they buy take it
to the municipal laboratory and have
it analyzed free of cost, The city un-
dertakes the prosecution, if need be,
of the offender, who, if the ease is
proved, is liable not only to fine and
imprisonment, but to the exposure in
his shop window of a notiee of "con-
viction of adulteration."
