B, ELLIOTT, PUBLISHER AND PROPRIETOR THURSDAY. JUNE 15, 1905, NOTES AND COMMENTS. At a banquet tendered to Mr. Robert Jairray, iu Toronto on. Saturday eveniug last to commemorate his twenty-fifth anniversary as a director of the Globe Printiug Company, he was presented with a silver tea service by the directors, staff and employees of The Globe and some outside friends. In the bve-elections on Tuesday, Hon. Chas. Hyman, Minister of Public Works in the Laurier Ministry, defeated Wm. Gray in. Loudon by a majority of 329. In North Oxford, the Liberal candidate, Mr. George Smith, was elected by a ma- jority of 349. The elections were fought out on the educational elanses of the Northwest Autonomy Bills now before Parliatnent, and the result is important because of the emphatic rebuke given to the fomeutors of racial and religious strife. Tariff changes involving protection for binder twine manufacturers and manu- facturers of cream separators, are look- ed for in the budget speech, to be shortly submitted to the House of, Commons. The reason for further protection on binder twiue is alleged to be the fact that the International Harvester Com- pany has waged a war of extermination upon Canadian manufacturers. -and against the solitary firm in the United States which still defies its power. The bounty at preseut given to Canadian binder twine manufacturers to enable them to compete against the drawback which is allowed to United States im- porters of manila hemp is three-eighths of a cent per pound. The British Government has recently published its annual return showing the comparative strength of the seven lead- hog naval powers of the world, from which it appears that of first-class bat- tleships, Great Britain possesses 53; France, 20; Russia, 14; Germany, 16; Italy, 14; United States, 12; Japan, 5; while of armored cruisers, Great Britain has 24; France, 15; Russia, 6; Germany, 4; Italy. 6; the United States, 6; and Japan, 8. Of battleships under con- struction, Great Britain has 8; France, 6; Russia, 5; Germany, 6; Italy-, 4; the United States, 12; and Japan. 2: while of armored cruisers under construction, Great Britain bas 4; France, 2; Russia, 4; Germany, 1; Italy, 3; and the United States, 2. Canadian trade returns are once more in the ascendancy and show a marked improvement. For May the total im- ports for consuruption, exclusive of coin and bullion, were *23,668,610, an iuerease of $2,245,136. Exports of domestic pro- ducts for the month amounted to $12.- 156,721, a gain of $1,424,338. This makes the total gain for May, counting imports and exports, $3,609.474. The increase for the month was greater in imports of free goods than in imports of dutiable goods, being $1,412.773 as against 5865,- 146. There was a gain of $2,245,136 in coin and balliou imported. Taking the eleven mouths ending May 31st, imports for consumption were $233,274,627, be- ing an improvement of $6,630,815 over the same period of the year previous. Of this amount $134,582,859 were dutiable goods and 09.063,127 free goods, a gain Of $1,422.566 and 0,208,249, respective- ly. Exports of domestic products ag- gregated $160.098,124 for the eleven months, a falling off of $8,193,667. Ex- ports of foreign precincts reached a total of 89,824,978, a decline of $2,298,196. Taking imports and exports of all kinds, the increase in foreign trade amounts to $2,032,584 for the eleven months and $4,- 04,633 for the month of May only. • A LUCKY GIRL On.•••:••••••••• Saved from Deadly Decline by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "When I think of my former conditiou of health," says Mies Wiunifred Perry, of West River, Sheet Harbor, N.S., "I consider myself a lucky girl that I am well and stroug to -day, and I owe my present good health entirely to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I suffered al- most all that one can eudure from nerv- ousness and weakness. I was as pale as a sheet, and wasted away. The least noise would startle we, and I was trou- bled with fainting spells when I would suddenly lose consciousness and drop to the floor. At other times my heart would palpitate violently and cause a smothering sensation. Night and day my nerves were in a terrible condition, and I seemed to be continually growing worse. No medicine that I took helped me iu the least until I began, I king Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and er I had taken a half-dozen boxeso/ telt so much better that I stopped t iug them and went on a visit to Bos .n. I had made a' mistake, however, stopping the pills too soon, and I beg to go back to my former coedit •n. then called on a well-knowu s doctor, and atter explainiug my se, told him how Dr. Piuk die had helped me be. fore. He told me to continue their use, saying I could take nothing better, and I got another supply and soon began to. regain health. I took about eighteen boxes in all, and they frilly and complete. ly restored my health, and I have had no sickness mice." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills can do just as much for every weak,nervous, pale -faced young woman, who is slipping from an- aemia into deadly decline. They make new, rich, health -giving blood, and that is what every growing girl aud woman must have to retain their health. It is because these pills actually make uew blood that they strike at the root of all common ailments of life such as head- ache and tlideaches and backaches, indi- gestion, palpitation of the heart, kidney troubles, sciatica, rheumatism, neural- gia, Sc. Vitus Dance, and paralysis. Bat only the genuine pills can do this, and the sick one should see that the full name "Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People" is printed ou the wrapper around every box. Don't let anyone persuade you to take anything else. Sold by all dealers or sent by mail at 50o a box, or six boxes for $2 60 by writing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. CHURCH NOTES. Rev. Dr. Armstrong, of Ottawa, was elected Moderator of the General As- sembly of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, at tho thirty-first annual meet- ing in Kingston, last week. Rev. Mr. Tanjoy, of Listowel oc- cupied the pulpit of the Baptist church very acceptably on Sunday in the absence of the pastor, Rev. J. N. Mc- Lean, B. A., who is assisting in special service in Atwood. By a vote of nineteen to ten the Con- gregational Union at its closing busi- ness meeting in Toronto Monday after- noon decided to meet the Anglicans and other religious bodies who desired to have Bible teaching in public schools. This decision was not arrived at without considerable debate, and it was made perfectly clear that while prepared to go • into conference on the subject the union was unitedly and absolutely opposed to the teaching of dogma in public schools. General regret will be felt for Rev. W. H. Locke, who was at the recent Con- ferenoe assigned to the pastorate of Kin- cardine Methodist Church. He recently had an attack of influenza, followed by an abscess in the ear, from which he suf- fered greatly; this has led to his becom- ing temporarily demented and he is at present receiving treatment in London. His wife is in Chatham Hospital, where she recently underwent an operation. Worry on her account, in addition to his own illness, hashed much to do with Mr. Locke's sad condition. He is about 45 years of age, and has a family of four children. OUT OF THE NIGHT.

FAMOUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP Obbto. by Harhboll. tostos HELEN KELLER The World's Most Remarkable College Graduate The story of Helen Keller's life Is the biography of two wonderful women -the blind, deaf and dumb girl, who for over twenty years has fought against awful odds; and the kind, ingenious and patient teacher who has led her charge into the sunlight of knowledge and of kinship with humanity. In 1886, when Miss Annie Sullivan was called to Tuscumbia, Ala., to assume the care of Helen, the child had been living for nearly five years in the mental darkness that followed her treble affliction resulting from con- vulsions. The task of education seemed well-nigh hopeless, for the one sense through which the child's mind was to be awakened to consciousness was her sense of touch. But in June, 1904, eighteen years later, Miss Keller gradu- ated from Radcliffe with distinction, and received her degree of B. A. This fairy tale of education, this romance of the conquest of obstacles, is a superb triumph of concentration. At her entrance examination in June, 1900, as if Nature had not sufficiently handicapped her efforts, she had to ....submit to two additional trials. The questions were given her in the Ameri- can Braille system of writing for the blind, with whist Miss Keller was only slightly familiar, having learned the English Braille -the two systems being as different as two distinct systems of shorthand. This delay in puzzling out the translation of the questions was further aggravated by the fact that her little Swiss watch with raised figures had unfortunately been left at home, so she had no means of gauging the time, yet her typewriter clicked out the answers and she "passed" with flying colors in every study. During her college course, in many studies Miss Sullivan repeated the lesson while Helen's fragile fingers feathering their way over her mentor's face, translated the muscular motions of speech into ideas. She studied English, Latin, French, Greek, German, political economy, logic, higher mathematics, chemistry and all the other myriad phases of college wisdom, through her wonderful fingers. • She uses the typewriter in five languages, has learned to speak with clear articulation, can swim, row, play cards, chess and basketball; dance, and perform a hundred other seemingly impossible things. Her memory is marvellous, her temperament sunshiny and happy; her mind is wonderfully broad, subtle, and thorough, and her book, "The Story of My Life," besides being great as a biography, 19 the most important worl: of the century on psychology as a revelation of the human mind, its methods and possibilities.

Mrs. Wise (to her worse half) -How comes Abraham to be the only million- aire in town ? Mr. Wise-Abrahatn's great wealth was acquired through upright dealing. He has conducted the boot and shoe business for 39 years in the same shop and is still prepared to repair your boots at your own prices. Mrs. Wise -What has happened to cause yon to smile so good naturedly? Mr. Wise -I got my boots mended at Abraham's, and I am so delighted with the work and the cost that I won't show you a frown for the next year. Mrs. Wise -1 wish yon had gone to Abraham years ago with your boots; I might now be wearing silk and have fewer gray hairs in my head. Mr. Wise -My dear, don't you know it is never too late to mend -"boots" - As Abraham always uses the golden rule, -no other testimonial is required as 39 yeses in one spot is clear proof of square dealing. -Yon can see with one eye how Ins eat work cheap; he is under no expense.

These factors made business dull and prices easier, 10c to 20o. per cwt. below last week. Calves were also lower, and hogs unchanged. The 48 loads received in- cluded 806 cattle, 449 sheep and lambs, 370 hogs and 255 calves. Export Cattle -With limited shippitig demand only the best were wanted. The ruling price was $5.25 per cwt., with 130ti tdore for a choice lot. Butchers' Ccttle-The run was light and the demand lighter, resulting in a decline to $5 for prime beasts. . . Stockers and feeders -The supply was only of fair quality, and prices eased off as for other grades. Milch cows -Steady at $30 to *50. Calves -The market was weak. Sheep and Lambs -Everything was sold, spring Iambs being a shade higher and other prices unchanged - Hogs -Prices held steady at last week's quotations.
