Week's Celrimercial Summary.. Nearly 7,000 shares of Montreal Street Railway sold in Montreal last week. The number of failures in the Domin- ion the past week was 41, 10 more than the same week in. 1898. The earnings of the Canadian Pacific Railway for the third week of December were $316,000, a decrease of $10,000. The withdrawals from the Postoface Savings Bank exceeded the deposits dur- ing the month of November by over $80,000. In the Dominion last week the failures numbered 86, as against 40 the previt is week, and 87 for the corresponding we, k of a year ago. Ontario had. 16, a de- crease of 6, of which only 4 had a credit rating. Quebec had 14, none of which were of any importance. British Colum- bia 4, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island 1 eaeb. No failures in New Bruns- wick and Manitoba. Wheat quotations are practically un- changed, and the holiday dullness is be- ing felt. Receipts are smaller than in preceding weeks, but the accumulation of stock continues, and the visible sup- ply both here and abroad is much larger, Some selling for foreign account is re- ported, and it is ruinored that wet weather is delaying the harvest in Argentina. Many traders think that the American crop is nearly marketed, and that a severe decline in arrivals will soon be noticed, but no consequent advance in price has occurred. The best news is the strength of French markets, but conti- nental markets generally do not respond.

Blue-eyed cats are said by Darwin to be always deaf. The tail of a beaver is a regular trowl, and is used as such. The hog eats fewer Plants than any other herb feeding animal. Oarniverous animals seldom produce more than two young at a birth. The flesh of the boa constrictor is eaten by the aborigines of Brazil. In many tropical countries the scorpion. grows to the length of a foot. The eggs of a crocodile are scarcely larger than those of a goose. The strongest muscle in a monkey's body is found in his prehensile tail. Certain parts of the hippopotamus's hide attain a thickness of two inches. The skin is the only part of the human body that is not hardened by age. Moles can swim with great dexterity, their broad forepaws acting as paddles. The swordfish does not use its terrible weapon as a dagger, but as a flail. Students of nature have never been able to explain the chameleon's change of color. The greatest velocity attained by a whale when struck by a harpoon is nine miles an hour. Tusks of the mammoth have been found of a length of nine feet, measured along the curve. The whole body of a boa or other con- strictor is a perfect network of powerful muscles. The natural life of an elephant is said to be 120 years. It is generally shortened by captivity. Some naturalists say that the whale was once a land animal that took to the water for safety. Elephants annoyed by flies have often been known to break off a branch and use fit as a fan. Oxen and sheep are believed by some stockmen to fatten better in company than when kept alone. The bones of very aged. persons are said to have a greater proportion of lime than those of young people. The rhinoceros has a perfect passion for wallowing in the mud, and is usually cov- ered with a thick coat of it. The mole is an excellent civil engineer. He always secures his own safety by having several entrances to his dwell- ing The lowest order of animal life is found in the microscopic jellyfish. It is simply a minute drop of gelatinous mat- ter. Many birds have the trick of tumbling along on the ground ahead of a sports- man, in order to draw him away from their nests. European marmots remain dormant during winter. Before beeoming torpid they carefully cement the entrance to their dwelling. The outer layers of the aligator's skin are said to contain a large percentage of silica, hence the hardness of the animal's hide. ;R Although on land a clumsy animal, the seal is wonderfully quick in the water, and in a fair race can generally catch almost any fish.

The Country Newspaper Office Our Only School of Journalism. The country printing office is really our only school of journalism, and its graduates are found everywhere, and hold responsible positions on all the metro- politan papers. There is no other place where preparatory general training for the duties of the profession can be ob- tained, where the young man can learn to be an all-round , journalist. In the large city offices, the division of labor, and particularly the assignment system as to reporters, tend to place men in grooves and keep them there, making them proficient in only one of various es- sentials, chilling their enthusiasm, and delaying and preventing their promotion. In the country offices, on the other hand, a man plays all the parts in turn, and is drilled for every kind of work. He is not thereby made a finished journalist, competent to fill any position, buthe gets a grasp of the profession as a whole, and can more readily adapt himself to its diverse requirements than one who lacks this discipline. The remuneration in daily journalism would probably be higher, at least in some departments, but for the fact that it is to a considerable extent the refuge of the medicrocity that is continually failing to make a living in the other professions. There is a certain amount of sac whirk work to be done on every newspaper, calls only for the kind of talent that knows how to put simple words together as a child constructs them with alpha- betical blocks, and this is eagerly seized at pot -boiling prices by clientless lawyers, patientless doctors and parishless clergy- men. These impecunious intruders sel- dom or never get beyond the desk of the reporter.—Capt. Henry King, in the January Forum. Agitation in the world of homoepathic medicine has been its very soul of prog- ress, as in polities and religion --the diffi- culties of opinion and the individualities of men have been parent to the disagree- ments by which the standard of these bodies have been elevated. So with most of our famous preparations—foremost in illustration of which truth stands the world-famous remedy to general debility and langour " Quinine Wine," and which, when obtainable in its genuine strength, is a miraculous creator of appetite, -vital- ity and stimulant, to the generalfertility of the system. Quinine Wine, and its improvement, has, from the first discovery of the great virtues of Quinine as a medi- cal agent, been ane of the most thoroughly discussed remedies ever offered to the public. It is one of the great tonics and natural life-giving stimulants which the medical profession have been. compelled to recognize and prescribe, Messrs, Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given to the preparation of their pure Quinine Wine the great care due to their im- portance,. and the standard excellence of the article which they offer to the pub- lic conies into the market purged of all the defects which skilful observation and scientifie opinion has pointed out in the less perfect preparations of the past.

Delay is Dangerous. - Do not delay a single moment, but send for a bottle of Miller's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil if you are threatened with con- sumption or lung troubles. The sooner you begin to create new blood the sooner you will gain a victory over death's emis- saries. Millers Emulsion is the most re- markable consumptive cure in the world. It creates new blood immediately, No other prepatation of cod liver oil can eo.mpare with Miller's Emulsion.

Many persons to whom Cod Liver Oil would be of the very greatest value refuse: to take it under the impression that the taste is so objectiorabio ac Lo• counteract any benefit it might otherwise be to - them.

It is the- ideal "builder," and will restore health and color where the system is "run down." To any one desiring to make trial of the preparatiori we will send Sample free.

Before the election, when I met him, he used to shake my hand and inquire after my family, my wife's health, my chil- dren's health, particularly that of the youngest, who was teething, and about whose condition he seemed to be very anxious. In fact, he was deeply interest- ed in us all." "Well, that was all right—it showed a kind heart," "That's what I thought ; but just see. Since the election he passes me like a streak of greased lightning, never shakes hands, never inquires for the family, doesn't seem to care whether the young- est has cut his teeth or had a set of false ones put in—just give me a nod and he's gone. . n't you think a man who acts that way is a little touched—a little off, eh ?"

Delaware is not a densely populated state but were Texas as thickly peopled her population would be about 25,000,000.
