MIA GOOD WORDS FOR CANADA. The foreign trade of Canada observes a writer in the current Harper's Weekly, has grown during the last ten years from $239,000,000 to $552,000,000, and Is now two and a half times per head that of the United States. The expansion of the Canadian market is attested by the sta. tisties of the economic prosperity. Last year Canadian railroads in which $t,280,- 000,000 are invested, carried 30,000,000 passengers and 102,000,000 tons of freight and earned $106,000,000. The paid-up capital of the banks in the Dominion is $33,000,000, and the aur of their assets is $767,000,000. In 1905 the revenue of the Dominion was $71,005,000 for 6,000,- 000 people, in 1885 the revenue of the United States was but $65,000,000 for 27,000,000 people. No better proof, says the writer, oonld be afforded of the immensely greater purchasing power of Canada today than was possessed by the American republio half a century ago, inview of these facts, it is not strange that Canada should face the future with supreme confidence. It is curious to note that some special attention is paid to the Hudson Bay route project among the many which are engaging public attention at the present time. This route says the writer, will be open for five months in the year, and will shorten the distance between Liver- pool and the wertern shippers of grain by about 2,000 miles --is now definitely assured no fewer than six railways to Port Churchill, the best of the Hudson Bay harbor having been already char- tered. The figures of the great preponderance of Canadian foreign trade on the per capita basis over that of the United States have been- already noted. They are figures in which Canadians have some cause for gratification and which may give Americans ground for thought. —Ottawa Journal. • THE GREEN BUG. R. I3 Petitt, etomologist of Michigan Agricultural College experiment station, says of the green bug: "From all parts of the state, com- plaints are coining in with respect to the condition of the oat crop. The last week has seen a notable change in the onclook. The young oats in a large part of the state have suddenly become as if stricken with blight, the outer leaves tnruing yellow and a ter wards reddish until after a little time the field appears as if badly rusted. •A closer examination shows there are few if any rest pustules, Careful Examination with the aid of a powerful lens shows the culprit to be a minute green insect called a thrips, very small and very quick in its movements, jamping like a flea when dirtnrbed, and disappearing completely. These little creatures have narrow wings with fringes of long hairs instead df the or- dinary form of wings. They scrape the oat leaves and cause them to become withered and to turn yellow and die." The Letter of the Law. Dean Harris is one of the best known Clergymen of the Roman Catholic Church in Canada, and is as remarkable for his literary productions as for his ecclestical virtues. In the city of St. Catharines he was so popular with citiz- ens of all denomination& that he found it comparatively easy to collect subscrip- tions from. Anglicans, Baptists, Presby- terians and Methodists. But a time came when the last-named brethren were desirous of erecting a new church and they ventured to call on the Dean in the course of their financial canvass. The latter expressed his deep regret over not being in a position to contri- bute to the new tabernacle. He was re- minded that members of Protestant churches had assisted him in the church - raising industry. "I know, I know," replied the genial priest, plaintively. "I would be glad to help you, but the rules of my church positively forbid the faithful to con- tribute towards building a Protestant church" The conversation then took a less painful tarn, and finally the Dean asked: "And what are yon doing with the old church?" "We're going to pull it down." replied one of the heretic callers. A great light dawned upon the Dean's countenance. "And will that not Dost you anything?" "A matter of several hundred dol- Iare." a "That'fi a ffetk -situation. Now. I'll tell what I'll do, Tho Mother Church has nothing to lay against pulling down what Protestants have let tip, and it'll be a good deed to destroy the works of the enemy. I'll help you tear it down," And the Methodist brethren went on their way rejoioing, with a substantial sum towards the levelling of their place of worship. The Dean had made good. --Canadian Courier. --•-- Mr. F. J. MoOallum, station agent at l4&idlsnd, is dead. Mr. Geor-ge Watson, architect, died at London, in his 96th year.

Toronto, July 30—The ran at the City Cattle Market today was 50 loads, 1,694 head of cattle, 841 sheep and lambs, 221 calves. In addition to the above cattle on sale there were 41 cars of American cattle going through to seaboard. The market was steadier than last week, with prides if anything, a little firmer. The run was light, and this helped to steady prices. The demand was fair, but not brisk enpugh to send the market up any from last week's de- clines, and it is probabie that if there had been a heavy run there would have been some weakening. As it was the market was slow, but prices held about firm. There is very little doing in 0x• port cattle, but one or two fairly good loads were bought for shipping. The stocker trade was very quiet. Sheep and lamb market weak and lower. Hogs—Quotations were unchanged from last week. The following are the quotations: Exporters' cattle— Per 100 lbs.
