.a new and startling development in a
matter affecting about 200,000 people
scattered throughout Canada was the
arrest in Toronto Monday evening of
Mr. Joseph Pbillips, President of tate
York Couuty Loan & S ivings Company.
This action was the result of the deci-
sion of Hon. Mr. Foy, reached after con-
sideration of the report of Mr. W. H.
Cross. who made an investigation into I
the affairs of the company at the request
of the Government.
The Provincial Treasurer, Hon. Mr.
Matheson, says succession duties for
1905 will total in the neighborhood of
$700,000, over $200,000 more than the
estimated receipts from this source. The
largest previous total of sneoession duties
was $480.863 iu 1904. The $700,000 is
made up of only actual receipts There

able amounts are due, and will be re-

for the man who is subject to correction
and in whom the moral instinct is not
obliterated. Mr. Archibald, the federal
officer, who is working out the parole
system, says that since its inception 1,-
082 prisoners have been allowed out on
parole. • Of these only twenty-four have
baen returned for crimes and seventy
had their parole leave cancelled for fail-
ure to make monthly reports to the po.
lice. To keep a man in prison costs the
conutry $250 a year. Last year, Mr.
Archibald said be ]rept track of 220 men
relieved on parole and found that these
men earued over w 100,000. If these Wren
could earn so much in industrial pur-
saits, it was much better to do so than
to keep them in prison at the country's
expense. The men on parole supported
their wives and families, and after all
the relatives were often the ones that
suffered more than the prisoners. This
is a most encoaragiug report and one
that will be pondered by all believers in
prison reforms.
i CHILDHOOD INDIGESTION
The Intercolonial Railway's financial I
statement for the five months ended
November last gives the revenue as $3,- G
254,368, and working expenses as $3,335,-
498. For the same period of 1904 the
revenue amounted to $3,027,789, while
working expenses were $3,437,777. The
expenditure thus exceeds the revenue
for five months iu 1905 by $81,130. In
1904 the deficit for the same period was
$409,988. Comparing the five months of
last year with the corresponding period
of 1904 there has been a decrease of $102,-
279 in the working expenses and an in-
crease of $226,579 in revenne, giving a
total improvement of $328,858.
Should the farmer build one large
barn or several smaller ones? There are
several arguments in favor of either
kind. It is argued that the Iarger barn
is more apt to be struck by lightning,
there is greater danger from fire and
high winds have a greater effect on the
larger structure. Should the big barn

S. Holford, the millionaire member of Parliament and owner of the palatial man-

At the time of her marriage in 18 77, Lady Grey and her two sisters were con-
spicuous in London for their beauty. tare intellectual gifts and their social. standing.
Since her marriage Lady Grey has spent little time in London, as she has fol-
lowed the fortunes of her husband and been his constant companion in his various
positions in all parts of the world and was with him when he made his splendid
record in South Africa in the administration of Rhodesia niter it had been taken
over by the crown from the South African chartered company. The (Treys have

Lady Grey has regular features, a perfect English complexion, a sweet smile
that seems a benediction, and the restful, calm manner of a nature thoroughly
well poised and controlled. With a keen mind. a kindly tact that seems instinc-
tive, a simple, sincere cordiality and graciousness, a life -time of closest association
with the best social life in England, and the additional charm and ease that travel
has brought her, Lady Grey should fit perfectly into the life of the Dominion
and add to the traditions of hospitality that linger like a perfume round the mem-
ories of Rideau Hall.

The arrivals were 95 loads, all told,
and it was said that tho market could
easily have absorbed twine that num-
ber. Butchers did not buy any more
than they were obliged to carry them
on for the next few days, in the belief
that there will be heavier rum before

butcher cattle sold at $4 35 (u; $4 40. The
average ranged $3,65 Ct $4,25. Good
cows were a little firmer at around $3

Export—There were several good
loads of export cattle in the market and
$4 90 et $5 was reported for the very
best. Some fair to good loads of ex-
