PDHL18H$R AND PROPRIBTOP THURSDAY, MAR. 29. 1906. NOTES AND COMMVIENTS. Returns received at the department of troth and oommerce show that out of 88,418,000 bushels estimated wheat orop of iset year, 66.357,781 bushels have been marketed. Of the balance 14,723,031 are stored in elevators, 610,000 are in Transit and 10,000,219 in the hands of the farmers. Who says the Ottawa Senate is a na- tional museum of bric-a-brac? Why. man dear, some of those figures are alive. One of them had the dust blown off him the other day and he sueezed bad langu- age for fifteen minutes straight. Visit• ors to the Parliament buildings should be cautioned not to tonoh or disturb the figures in the red chamber.—Boboayge- on Independent. The San has been pretty hard on the Senate, and we have advocatedits aboli- tion. We have even gone so far as to adopt Senator McMuIlen's description of the Senators and classified them as mum- mies, but those two fighting members of the red chamber have proven conclusive- ly that they are not mommies, by jinkat Still, from a point of politics] economy, we adhere to the policy of abolition, but after this we will have to cat out that mummy business.— Orangeville Sun. Tho Vancouver World says:—".Mr, Macdonald, leader of the Opposition, is congratulated on all sides for his master- ly examination of witnesses before the Kaien committee. The principal wit- nesses went on the stand determined to tell nothing, but by the time the leader got through with them they were as limp as wet rage and em sty as egg shells. Heaps of valuable information were obtained and will be piled np for future use." Mr. Macdonald is a nephew of Dr. P. Macdonald, of Wingham. The annual report of the fisheries branch of the Department of Marine and Fisheries gives a great deal of interest- ing information bearing on this import- ant branch of Canadian indnst,y. The total valve of fish caught and the fish products of Canada in 1904 was 123,516,. 000. The value of the fish catches by Provinces is as follows:—Nova Scotia, $7,289,099; British Columbia, $5,219,- 107; New Brunswick, $4,671,084; Ont- ario $1,793,229; Quebec, ' $1,751,397; Manitoba and the Northwest Territories, $1,716,977; and Prince Edward island, $1,077,546. Mr. G. H. McIntyre, the Liberal member for South Perth has given no- tice of a resolution on Senate Reform. His proposals are :—Abolish the life ten- ure of office by Senators; limit the ten- ure of one appointment to within the legal term of three Parliaments; provide a fixed age, not exceeding 80, for com- pulsory retirement. These reforms are all right as far as they go, but we world like to Ree the Government go further and abolish the Senate entirely. There is no use for it in the Government of Canada. The country is now carrying too heavy a load of Senators and mem- bers of. Parliament. When a man of seventy marries a wo- man of less than twenty-five, he does it deluding himself that he has a prop and comfort for his last days. Instead, he Inds himself hitched to a frisky colt, and the effort to keep pace shortens his days. When Chauncey Depew was at the height of his power, he was a "good catch," and Miss Mary Palmer, young enough to be his granddaughter, got him. This was in 1901, but the separa- tion has occurred, and suit will shortly The Taking Cold Habit The old cold goes; a new one quickly comes.

D•pew, the honored Senator and dinner -table wit, was a different proposition from Depew, feeble and disgraoed by the publicity through the lite insurance investigation, and Mrs. Depew promptly quit him and fled to Paris. The story books give good illustrations of what lore is, but you have to read the newspapers to find out what love isn't. --Calgary Herald. Another instance of the new order of things since the Whituoy Government came into power, came to light this week. An Orderin council was passed soma time ago whereby Sherriffs wore ordered to place their advts. in papers in `each county that were named by the Govern• went, and needless to say that in each county none of the Liberal papers were named. This week Mr. R. Vanstone' barrister, has to place an advt. for a Sheriff's sale of Brussels land, and of course to keep within the law cannot place the advt. in the Brussels Post, except at his own expense. What good will an advt. in an outside paper be for a sale of lands in Brussels? Thie is surely a very unwise move on the part of the Government, as provision should have beau made for places where no Conser- vative paper is published. We have no particular kick to make as we do not think any of the Liberal papers in Huron county will be forced out of business, even if they are not allowed to publish these advts. Hon. Nelson Monteith's hill respeoting Agriculoultnral Societies was read a first time in the Legislature on Tuesday. Heretofore agricultural societies were organised according to districts and townships. This system is done away with by the present act, which makes no distinction among societies. Each society will be known according to the place which is its headquarters and at which it holds its annual exhibition. The method of dividing the grant is changed. At present district fairs receive a grant of 8380, while town- ship societies receive in the neighbor- hood of 1150. Under the new act the en- tire grant of $70,000 will be divided pro rata among all agricaltural societies in proportion to the amount expended in the previous year for agrioultural purpos- es. This is the way we have always said the grant should be given and we shall be pleased to see this clause of the act pass. There should be no reason in the world for Goderich and Brussels to receive grants of $380 and Wingham put down for $150. Regarding horse racing there is no change, and means that trials of speed under the regulation of the officers of the society are permitted. The clause regarding gambling and games of chance is strengthened. The new act will go into force on the let of February, 1907. The Globe is out in a vigorous article against the Ottawa salary grab bill, and oontends that it should be taken np at this session, and either amended so radi- cally that its friends wouldn't know it, or else wiped out altogether. The Globe is right. A year has passed since it be- came law, but it is not one iota more popular to -day than it was at the be. ginning.—Walkerton Telescope. Right you are brother. The salary grab will never become popular as long as it re- mains as at present. Why in the name of common sense, is the country called upon to pay Senators a yearly salary of $2,500 and mileage. • They do not render any service to the country for this amount of money, and then paying pen- sions to exotrinistere who are already millionaires. There is a proposal to in- troduce legislation to change the law in reference to pensions for ex -Ministers. The legislation should cover every item of increased salary. We do not always agree with W. F. McLean, M. P., but we will say he ie this time on the right track, when he introduced a motion to have the whole measure repealed. Ia et Liberal caucus held last week it was de- cided to make no change in law as it af- fects the increase to members and Sena- tors. We miss our guess if the memb. ers who continue to support this mea- sure will not find themselves several votes behind at the next general election. CHURCH NOTES. Rev.

Spring is the season when your system needs toning up. In the spring yon mast have new blood, just as the trees most have, new sap. Nature demands it. Without new blood you will feel weak and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatiezn or neuralgia, occasional headaches, a variable appetite, pimples or eruptions of the akin, or a pale, pasty complexion. These are sure signs that the blood is out of order. A tonin is needed to give new energy. P r, Wil- liams' Pink Pills are the best • io in all the world. They make new ich, blood —your greatest need in :: ing. They clear the akin, drive . % t disease and make tired, depresseen and women bright, active an eong. Mrs. Chas. Masson, Yamaohi .:, Que., proves the great valve o1 Dr. +' illiams' Pink Pills in building up people who have beoome weakened and run down. She says:— "In the. winter of 1905 I was very mesh run down and lost flesh rapidly. My blood was poor. I suffered from indi- gestion, severe headaches and general debilty. In this condition I decided to give Dr. Williams' Pink Ville a trial, and thanks to this valuable medicine I am again enjoying perfect health." 1)r, Williams' Pink Pills cure all the ailments due to poor blood or shattered nerves. That is why they cure anaemia, rheumatism, neuralgia, kidney trouble, indigestion and the secret ailments of women and girls.

JAMOUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP Copyreibt, 10dy, oxtoo. DR. WILLIAM HENRY DRUMMOND The Famous Poet of French-Canadian Lite. It was eight years ago that Dr. Drummond's delightful book of verse "The Habitant and Other French-Canadian Poems" made its debut. Their quaint- ness, pathos, humor and realness, blended with the rare, sympathetic touch that makes smiles chase away tears and tears follow smiles, won instant response in the hearts of Canadians and of all lovers of good literature throughout the world. The simple-minded, pure -hearted French-Canadian characters told their stories in a new dialect—handled with such loving. sympathetic interpretation that no slightest cloud of exaggeration or burlesque marred the spell of the charm. They were originally scribbled on a block of paper held on the author's knee, often by a camp -fire; later, begged, borrowed or purloined by friends, many of thein drifted into print and became popular without the author's name and with no trace of their parentage. It was the poet's wife who carefully collected all these earlier poems and made copies of the later ones, and so made possible one of the best selling hooks of poetry in recent years. Dr. Drummond was born in County Leitrim, Ireland, in 1854, and when a boy of nine was brought with his three brothers to Canada by his father who settled in Montreal. He loved out -door life, camping, fishing, boating—anything with open air and companionship. Ile was happy at Bord a Plouffe, meeting the river drivers and shanty men on their way down to Quebec, absorbing their stories and quaint talk with all the intensity of an impressionable boy, unconsciously storing them away in silent preparation u itil the day when he was to add a new character to the literature of Canada and a new name to her roll of real poets. While in the High School at Montreal and later at Bishop's College at Len- noxville in his medical course from which he graduated in 1884, he wrote some verse; but it was his splendid physique and great strength that distinguished him—his wonderful' records in .hammer -throwing and shot -putting winning more atten- tion than his throwing of words or putting of phrases - When he came to Montreal to practice, be became identified with the fishing clubs, and on the rivers and in tramping through the woods came again into close companionship with the guides, the half-breeds and the habitants whose con- fidence he won and whose esteem was given to him as naturally as echo responds to sound. In recognition of his splendid contributions to literature, Dr. Drum- mond was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, England, and of the Royal Society of Canada, a D.C.L. of Bishop's College, and honored with an LL.D. from Toronto University. His latest book is "The Voyageur." interact according to Act of the Parliament or Canada, in the year 1005, by W. C.
