NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Mr. Richard Harcourt, M.P.P. for
Moock, ex-ministor of Education, bas
filed a cross -petition against his oppon-
ent, Mr. Ross, who bas already protest.
ed Mr. Harcourt's election. The cross•
petition makes the usual personal allega-
tions agaiust Mr. Ross and asks his dig.
qualification.
The sensational Toronto World has
Sir Wilfrid Laurier at death's door
again, and is indulging in some specula-
tions as to his successor in the leader-
ship of the Government. Sir Wilfrid,
notwithstanding, is daily in Ms seat in
the House, and shows no immediate in-
tention of taking on the wings which
every Tory j simnel accords to a dead
Liberal leader. Such ghoulish journal•
ism may snit the ends of Btlty Maeleau
and the Tory party, but it cannot be
very pleasiug to Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
his family couuections.-Stratford Bea-
con.
The public will do well to give the
story about the Papal Delegate interfer-
ing in Canadian politics, circulated by
the firebrand press, a wide berth until
something substautialis shown behind it.
As yet there is not a tittle of evideuce
to support it, while the Globe submits
an abuudance of evidence to prove that
Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his Government
were not parties to any such interference.
If the people of this country permitted
themselves to be carried away by every
passion that the firebrand press seeks to
arouse this would be a very happy coun-
try indeed.
A depatatiou of prominent men from
Toronto and Hamilton waited on
Premier Whitney last week to ask for a
special grant of $25,000 for the free hos-
pital for cousumptives at Gravenharst
They were introduced by Mr. W. J.
Gage. Mr. Whitney said the Govern-
ment fully appreciated the good work
that was being carried on, and if it were
possible he would give a grant of $100,-
000, but there was a limit to the re-
sources at the the disposal of the Gov-
ernment.
overnment. However, the request ,would
be considered, and probably granted, in
part, at least. It would not be necessary,
he said, for the deputation to see him
again about the matter, as he fully real-
ized the importance of doing buuiething
in the directiou indicated.
The pablic accounts were laid before
the House last week by Provincial Treas-
urer Matheson. The accounts show
total receipts for year of $6,128,358,-
57, and expenditures of $5,267,453, or
leaving a surplus of $860,905.57. From
the expenditures under the new treas-
urer's system there would be deducted
$144,466 for the school of practical
science; $91,527.54 for the good roads ac-
count; $12,022.95 for Trinity medical
building, and $78,740.76 for common
school lands, which would come under
the head of expenditures on capital ac-
count, a total of $326,757.45. This
would leave an expenditure of $4,940,-
695.67. The increase over the expenditure
of 1903 was $377,470. Tbu now trees-
urer, however,holds that from the items
of receipts should be deducted the bonus
of $1,664,258.31 on account of timber
sales. Such sales were in the nature of
disposition of assets, and the bonuses de -
:deed therefrom are not entitled to be
counted in current accounts as receipts.
This would leave total receipts of $4,464,-
100.26.

tations of his friends last week and

CANADIAN RAILWAYS.
The report of the department of Rail-
ways and Canals show that the net
earnings of street railways in Canada
are over $4,000 on a capitalization of
$100,000; while United States lines aver-
age only 0,300 per mile, which iudicates
that the Canadian promoters have little
to learn from the high financiers on the
other side of the borders. According to
the report during the last fiscal year the
total revenue of the Government from
railways and canals was: From rail-
ways, $6,627,255, and canals, $79,536, of
which the sum of $72,701 was derived
from hydraulic rents. The total govern•
meut expenditure on railways construe -
tion prior to and since confederation
(July let, 1867) up to July 1st, 1904,
amounts, on capital account, to $142,-
6.48,039, which includes the sum of $25,-
000,000 grauted (from capital) to the
Cauadian Pacific Railway for its main
line. In addition, there has been ex-
pended from the consolidated fund a
total of $139,556,724, including $31,341,-
933 paid as subsidies to railways other
than the Canadian Pacific railway, and
$107,110,755 for working expenses of the
government railways, making a total
expenditure of $282,204,763.
The total number of controlling rail-
way companies in Uanada is eighty-five,
not including Government railways.
Fifty four companies were absorbed by
amalgamation, and there were thirty
eight leased lines. Completed railways
amount to 19,611 miles, an increase of
524 miles, besides 3,327 miles of sidings;
laid with steel rails, 19,545 miles, of
which 763 miles was double track; in
operation, 19,431 miles; paid up capital
amounts to $1,186,547,918, an increase
of 539,996,147; gross earning of the
year $100,219,436, an increase of
$4,154,909; working expenses, $74,563,-
162, an increase of $7.081,638; net earn-
ings, $25,656,274, a decrease of $2,926,-
729; dumber of passengeers carried,
23,640,765, an increase of 92,023; freight
traffic 48,097,519 tons, an increase of
724,102.
At the close of the fiscal year ended
June 30th, 1904, the conjointed statistics
of steam and electric roads (including
street railroads) show the following re-
sults: The number of companies was
2.10; there were 20,378 miles of railway
completed, 20,176 miles being in opera-
tion; the paid-up capital amounted to
$1,236,946,106; the gross earnings were
$108,673,045 and the total working ex-
penses, $79,889,679, making the net earn-
ings $8,783,366. There were 205,330,763
passengers and 48,407,680 tons of freight
carried.
The returns of electric railroads in
Canada show that there are 767 miles of
such in operation, the capital invest-
ed in them, including Dominion, pro-
vincial and municipal subsidies, being
$80,453,609, being an increase $1,219,982
over last year. Working expenses were
represented by the sum of $5,326,517, an
increase of $853,959, when compared
with the previous year. Net earnings
were $3,125,092, or an inosease of $366,-
273. There were 181,689,998 passengers
carried as against 155,662,812, for the

STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
They tell me, young man. that you
are thinking of leaving the farm.
Don't do it; keep close to the soil.
You are tired feeding cattle, the sheep,
and the pigs, tired of chopping wood,
tired of cleaning stables out, tired of it all.
You have visited the city and its roar
fascinated you. You didn't see behind
the scenes. It was only the world on
show, it was only the dress parade.
You have seen the great houses of the
rich, their carriages, their sleighs and
and flying robes. Yon have , gone to
church, bright with electricity, with the
choir above, and the organ towering
over all. Yon have gone to the theatre,
you have seen the tragedy and were
stirred, and here you are now sitting by
,the kitchen stove in yotir quiet home,
and in a little while you will have to go
out and look after the stock.
You are tired of is all.
Don't say that; you aro the most inde-
pendent and most important man on
God's footstool.
You know no boss. If you go to the
city you will become one of the mob
who work by the clock and the whistle.
Now Sou can take a day and no one can
dock you. If you went to a shop you
would become part of the Machine.
They would tail you to do this and that
and you would have to de it, and you
would have 60 obey orders. Yeti, young

cream with a teaspoon of baking pow-

Mistiming* of an Alphabet.
"Few people realize," said a college
professor, "that the twenty-six symbols
that we call the alphabet represent sin-
gly or in combination all the sounds of
all the languages upon earth. By form-
ing letters into words we are able to
embody thought, to render it visible,
audible, perpetual and ubiquitous, Em-
balmed in writing, the intellect may
thus enjoy a species of immortality
upon earth, and every man may paint
an imperishable portrait of his own
mind immeasurably more instructive
and interesting to posterity than those
fleeting likenesses of face and form in-
trusted to canvas or even to bronze and •
marble. What myriads have passed
away, leaving not a wreck behind them,
while the mental features of some con-
temporary writer survive in all the
freshness and integrity witb which
they were first traced! Literary paint-
ing is the greatest of all delineation!
For it we may thank the alphabet and
the Phoenicians for the alphabet.
"It was Gibbon, I thick, who said
that Phoenicia and Palestine would
ever live in the memory of mankind,
since America as well as all Europe
had received an alphabet from one and
a religion from the other."
Eccentric Wagon Wheel.
A very interesting paradox is the one
concerning an ordinary 'Wagon wheel,
which is solid and rigid, yet when fast-
ened
astened on its axle on a wagon when the
Wagon moves part of the circumference
of the wheel which is in contact with
the ground is for an instant at absolute
rest, while the point directly perpen-
dicular to it is flying along at a high
rate of speed. The two points horizon-
tal with the center of the wheel are
traveling pretty fast, but only half as
fast as the topmost point, and as the
up going horizontal point increases in
speed the down going one slows up un-
til it is at rest for a moment when in
contact with the ground. Yet the wheel'
is one solid piece and there are only
two points going at the same rate of
speed at the same time. Yet if the
wheel is taken off the axle and rolled
down an incline every point of the cir-
cumference moves at the same rate of
speed.
Ireland's Sacred Oak.
In years gone by Ireland had a sa-
cred oak dedicated to St. Columban,
one of the pecullarities of the tree be-
ing that whoever carrjed a small bili
of the wood or bark in his mouth would,
never meet with a violent death, it be'
ing especially efficacious in ° saving'
Christian martyrs from the block. It
was known throughout the British
isles as the holy oak of Iienmare
After the lapse of many centuries this
sacred oak was uprooted by a storm,
after which it was said to be guarded
by angels to keep heretics from gather-
ing the wood for fuel. At last a wick-
ed tanner "barked" one of its largest'
limbs and tanned some leather, which
be made into shoes for himself, imagin-
ing that such relics would bring him;
wealth and power. He wore them but
once, however, but that one time was
enough to make him an incurable leper.
Dritinh Museum Dome.
The reading room of the British mu-
seum is crowned by a spacious dome,
which is about thirty feet wider than
that of St. Paul's cathedral. It is 140
feet in diameter and, with its 00,000
superficial feet of glass, springs more
than 100 feet in height. Neither St. Pe-
ter's at Rome nor Santa Maria at Flor-
ence is a match to it. It is larger by
forty-five feet than the dome of the
capitol at Washington, by thirty-five
Leet than that of Darmstadt cathedral,
by thirty-three feet than that of St.
Sophia, Constantinople, and spreads,
sixteen further than the concave roof
of the tomb of Mohammed Adil Shah
at Bijapur.
The Man Who Is In Earnest.
The vital necessity for the qualities
of inspiration, reality and magnetism
Was brought home to me wlien I was a
schoolboy fiddling at college functions.
I sdw speakers who came forward and
who -well, just spoke so many words.
Then would come an orator, a man who
acted the part, who lived the part, who
was the part because he believed it,
and so swept the people off their feet. -

One Occupation Less.
A visitor at a small resort on the
coast, says the Cincinnati Cot:mereial
Tribune, asked one of the men whom
'he saw at the village store what he did
all summer.
"Loaf and fish," replied the native.
"What do you do in the winter?" con-
tinued the inquiring visitor.
"We don't fish!"
