(By the Optimist ) It is a goof: thing, after all, that we have. ear* An institution as Christmas, it reminds us that tli 're is something else in life than the everlasting, selfish. ,grasping grind. It rem:uds us of . the extaoies of childhood and keeps us young. It only costs a trifle to remember the childrenand it is worth the prtee many times over to watch their delight, Is 'puts ono in better humor with our fellow -mortals and helps one to forget his troubles. Thank Gad for ell that Christmas and Christmas seutiment mean to maneiud. (By the Pessimist.) I heartily wish that this Christmas bueenees were all over. I don't mind n+tlis children eo much, but it ought to be made an offeuee against criminal law to give or take a Christmas present by or from anyone over ten years of age. People send you trinkets that you don't inapt and they thick you mean if you, haven't sent them something, and yon feel mean yourself if you try to get ont of the hole by selecting a lot of cheap stuff. And if it did any body any good I would not mind so maoh, bat there are millions of dollars sgaandered every Christmas by people, many of whom can id afford it, and even if they can, what good does it do? They ca11 this C hrist- niatetide a religious festival, but I be- lieve in my heart it is an invention of the devil, who is an adept in glossing over his pet schemes for evil with pious names. I am going to found a eociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chist- mus v.ctims. (By the Preacher.) "Peace on E .rth, Good+will to Men" is the motto tbat is written on the faces of people at this happy and pleaeaut season. Man may mourn and lament over his losses at other times, but when once the festival of Jesus' birth comes around, the difficulties of life are forgot- ten, It is well for us that each is the case, or else man would soon become discouraged and give up in despair. Events like 0aristmas-tide change man's life aid make-up, and he becomes i n. bued with the desire to go forward in nope. Malay homes will be bright. and., o leery this Christmas. How grand it would be if all could be filled with plenty. Even though this canner, be, yet the wealthy by the giving of thea substsseee can alleviate the enffernn g ones, aced :has make others happy. The Birth of Christ teaeliesns to make sacrifcea, it was on account of man's ainfaluese that the S:ln of God taok upon •him the nature of .Wren, being born of a Virgin. And man has taken up this lesson, and is trying in his humble way to perpetuate the other's great teaching. Canada above all other lands should re- joice at this season of the Holly and Mistletoe. Prosperity reigns supreme in every portion of this vast Domain, and well may the people sing, "Glory to God in the Highest." NOTES AND COMMENTS. using the eighteen years the Conner- tives wore in power they alienated no as than 29,000 square it iles of timber ands, and of this immense area 23,000 square miles were granted without any competition, and without any payment of any kind whatsoever. In contrast with this not a single toile of timber has It 'Quiets the Cough This is one reason why Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is so valua- ble in consumption.

During the season of navigation on the lakes just closed thirty-eight vessels,. with a total tonnage of 27,010, paaaed oat of existence as a result of collisions, Ares and other accidents. With the exception of one stealndr all of the boats lost were freighters. The aggregate loss in valets wick $1,092,000. 2.hts does not loclude the very large surae paid oat by uoderwriterafor partial lows. This latter item doubtless exceeds the value of the vessels, whish vi ere total loses. A marine department blue book, issued lately, shows the total number of vessels of all kinds on the register book et Canada on Deo 81, 1eC6, was 7,812, with an aggregate tonnage of 654,179, being an increase of 187 vessels, and a decrease of 15,040 tone register, as com- pared with 1905. Assuming the average value to be $30 per ton, the value of the registered tonnage of Canada would be $19,625 370. The number of vessels =silt and registered in Cauada last year was 297, with a tonnage of 21.741, and worth approximately $978,000 Ia Canada the tariff on dutiable imports brought into the country be- tween 'S6 and '96 averaged clearly 31 por Cent. During that period the D3minion passed through the most serious depress ion it has ever experienced. Between '96 and 1906 the articles subject to ons - toms taxation averaged less than 23 par cent. and in that ten-year pried the country prospered as never before. The Suni does not for one moment contend that the alight reduction in the tariff above recorded was the change in conditions, It would not so insult the intelligence of readers who know that other and greater inflaencsa were at work. What we do msiutain, however, is that the experienoe of recent years in both the United States and Canada has forever shattered the position of those who have contended that high pratec. don insures abounding prosparity,—Tor - onto Weekly San.

Toronto, Deo. 17.—Trade was good, and active at the City Cattle Market to- day, prices being well maintained, but not any higher than recent quotations. There were not many choice or fanoy butcher cattle offering, but the trade is already pretty well supplied in this class of beet for the Christmas holidays. Most of the local wholesale butchers, in fact are well supplied, and were not heavy buyers to -da<. There wan some active buying, however, by outsiders from. Montreal, St. Catharines, and western towns The demand from these points was big enough to take pretty well everything offering to -day. There was a good demaed for export bulls.
