G F. Henderson, barrister of Ottawa,
has been appointed as the second drain-
age referee of Ontario, at a salary Of
$2,500. There was no more need of a
second drainage referee than a wagon
has for a fifth wheel. The work was
being well done by Col. Rankin, of
Chatham, whole salary $3,500. He did
not ask for help; he is not overworked.

and the office was created to take care of
him. Iii this way the Ross surplus is to
be got rid of.—Hamilton Times.
So many statements have been made
recently concerning the quality of the
instruction furnished in Ontario Sohoola
that it is well to point oat that educa-
tionally the boys and girls of Ontario are
as well trained as those of any other
oountry, and that they hold tbeir own in
competition with scholars trained else-
where. Moreover, the Ontario educa-
tional system has been largely copied by
other countries in their educational
plant). The Whitney Government, in
all its proposed changes, is not creating
any higher standaro of education, only
formulatiag a change in polloy.—St.
Catharines Star -Journal.
If Whitney is not dismissing Grit of.
ficials fast enough to snit his hungry
heelers, he is making quite a lot of new
jobs for his friends. The Toronto Tele-
gram published a list of some of the
plums, which in the aggregate amonnt

Some Budget Facts,
Mr. Fielding was enabled to announce
a surplus of $12,500,000 for the year end
-
lag next mouth.
This surplus and the addition to the
sinking fund will almost meet the
heavy capital expenditure of the year.
The net ittorease of the national debt for
the twelve months will be about $800,-
000.
Since 1896, ander Liberal Government
there kite been a net surplus of $64,800,-
165 in consolidated fund accouuts.
The great sum has been spent in en-
larging canals, aiding railway construc-
tion, erecting public buildings where re-
quired and generally in prepariug the
way for the making of a greater ()anode,
The net debt of Canada is only $7,.
726,732 more than it was nine years ago.
It is actually less per head of the people
thau it was then, for there has been a
very great increase of population.
The number of immigrants was 117,-
585 for the past ten months, as compar-
ed with 93,309 for the same period a
year ago.
The Price of Wool.
A remarkable feature of the produce
market is the raise in the price of wool
in the past few years. Three and four
years ago wool was a drug in the mar-
ket. It was then selling around fifteen
cents. Nobody seemed anxious to
haudle it and those who did made little
or nothing out of it. This year prices
will range between 25 and 80o per pound
and many are auxious to take a hand in
the trade. Lucky is the farmer who
has a good flock of sheep; for with wool
and lamlis at present prices there is no
kind of farm stook that pays like them.
Unfortunately duriag the years of low
prices all Ontario farmers greatly realm.
ed their flocks and many went out of the
business altogether. Now the price of
lambs is so tempting that farmers are
disposed to market them rather than add
to the number of their eheep. The rise
in the price of wool is explained by a
member of facts. Woollen goods have
become more fashionable than they were
a few years ago; then there was the
dying off of the Australian sheep due to
a long continued drouth that ended three
years ago. Besides this, new processes
have been invented by which the coarse
wool can to a large extent be worked
into goods formerly made from only fine
wool. This has greatly increased the
demand for this grade—the grade that
is produced almost altogether in Canada.
Let Women Drive.
It is not many years ago that anything
in the shape of a horse was supposed to
be good enough for a woman. It was
the popular idea among those who knew
that given a good horse a woman could
ram it in less than a year. All this has
changed among the intelligent women,
however. Nowadays the women know
how to handle a horse, that le, those
who use their brains and have watched
the real horseman at his work, SO that
question of sex Is not so important as it
was at one time. Of course there are
thousands of Women who know little or
nothing about the horse, but with the
great number of horse allows all over the
country their education is progressing
fast, and it will not be long before al-
most any horse with a reasonable die -
position can be Safely trusted to a we.
mart and be driven or ridden without
damage. At the same time there are
ladies' and men's horse, not due to the
feet that the animals will be handled by
the different sexes, but because they re-
quire different characteristics according
to the persons in charge of thetre—Coata.

Prior to the year 040 A.. D. the Japa-
nese bad one of the most horrible
burial customs that can be imagined—
that of burying all the immediate
friends ainl retainers oe a prince 011
other person of note in a standing po-
sition around the potentate's grave and
leaving them in the earth up to their
necks to perish of thirst and hunger.
The custom cannot be said to have
been geueral as late as the date given,
for the Japanese records prove that in'
the time of the Emperor Suiniu (97-30
B. C.) the burial rites of royal person-
ages were so Modified as to partially„
abolish former cruelties. Speaking of
a young brother of Suinin, who died
and had bis retinue burled standing
around his grave, tbe old record
says: "For many days they died not,
but wept and cried aloud. At last they,
died. Dogs and crows assembled and
ate off their beads. The emperor's
compassion was aroused, and he de-
sirea to change the manner of burial.'
Wben the empress died, soon after, the
mikado inquired of his officers if some -
tiling in the way of a change could not
.be suggested, and one proposed tee
make clay figures of men and bury
them as substitutes."
That this did not entirely do awayi
with the former custom Is proved by,
an edict issued In the year 646 A. ry.,
the date given first above, which forbid
the burial of living persons and pros
vided a penalty for further adherence
to the awful rite.
Carlyle's Bluntness.
Thomas Carlyle once took Lord
Houghton (Richard Milnes) to task in
regard to the proposed pension for
Lord Tennyson. "Richard Mines,"
said Carlyle, -taking his pipe out of his
mouth, "when are ye gam to get that
pension for Alfred. Tennyson?" Mines
tried to explain that there were diffi-
culties In the way and that possibly
bis constituents, wko knew nothing
about Tennyson, would aecuse him of
being concerned in a job were he to
succeed in getting the desired pension
for the poet. "Richard Milnes," replied
the sage, "on tbe day of judgment,
when the Lord asks ye why ye did=
get that pension for Alfred Tennyson,
it'll no do to lay the blame on your
constituents. It's' you that'll be
damned."

"Inn very direful what I say, I never
use harsh language or anything of that
kind."
