It is said that Canadian importers of raw sugar may bring a cargo from the Hawaiian Islands to Montreal next year. The disturbances in Cuba will necessitate the opening of new markets or increased trade with those sources of supply from which sugar has formerly been imported that remainunaffected by the revolution. There is a slight improvement in trade reported by wholesale dealers in dry goods at Toronto. The more seasonable weather and better roads have tended to ereate an increased demand, and the feel- ing is more hopeful. Travelers are send- ing in fair orders for spring goods, and prices rule steady. In groceries the de- mand is said t.> `be good, and the move- ment in. sugars is satisfactory. TOPICS OF A. WEEK.

The goods were found An anti -English meeting was held at TUE BRAIN A FIRE. A Doctor Says Thattmtiviu-fiiHlm is a Luminous Dr. S Millington Miller, of New. Yorke a well-known writer on physiological psychology, last evening delivered a lecture before the Educational Club at. the Normal Sohool on "Mind -Building by Sense Development." Dr. Miller said, in part, that the energizing principle that acts through the organs of sense is what is known as life or thought or. mentality, whose principal habitation is the brain. A series of experiments recently conducted by Col. de Roches, the head of the Paris Polytechnic School, showed that the human brain is a burning fire, whose luminous efflu- vium escapes through the eye, ears, nose and mouth into the surrounding atmosphere, filling the air for a circle of some 10 or 20 feet with a mild, hazy light. By means of hypnotio subjects it has bebn shown that the effluvium is sentient, and, if a glass of water is pinched with the fingers, the hypnotiz- ed giver of the light or life complains of pain. De Roches has it that life or light is a uniform and stable quantity, Turning to the senses, the lecturer said the mutual aid society of the sense is now a well-established fact—the blind see with their fingers, the deaf hear with their eyes, the deaf and duinb and blind see and feel and bear with their fin gess, or sec and hear through their sense of smell. The moaning of all this is that the vital essence is a uniform quantity and when any sense is diseased or defective it throws enough of its power into an- other sense to enable it to play a double function. The new education teaches the child by accustoming him to draw and describe objects before hint as nearly as possible as they really are. The fact of having drawn the objects adds still more Dells to the group already connected in the description of them. As each Im- pression has its separate cell or store- house, and as each storehouse is con- nected with the others, the recurrence of any ono impression of an object at any time will bring before the mind a complete picture of all its qualities by the associati'0n of ideas. It was just this kind of education that Daudet gave to Guy de linupassant. Ile set hint to describing natural objects, rejecting every composition as inadequate until ane was written which came nearest to describing every possible quality of the objects, and the result of this edu.ation was that Maupassant was a marvelously brilliant and pictorial writer. The lec- ture was illustrated by blackboard sketches of portions of the brain and of the nervous system, to which the speak- er frequently referred.—Philadelphia Lodger. Arctic ]ferries.

Only one berry grows lipon each plant, but this one makes a most delicious mouthful. It is the size and form of a large dewberry, but the color is a bright crimson when half ripe and a golden yellow when rnatured. Its taste is sweetly avid, it is exceedingly juicy, and so delicate that it might be thought impossible to preserve it. Yet the natives do preserve it with all its freshness and original flavor throughout the entire winter, merely by covering it with fresh water and heading it up tightly in casks or barrels.

Mr. Mulock's bill fixing the rate of in- terest at 4 per cent., in the absence of other contracts or agreements, is in har- mony with existing commercial condi- tions. The present law fixing the rate at S per cent. was passed when the earning power of capital was considerably higher than at present. Orange shipments from Riverside, Cal., averaged. 40 carloads a day during the first two weeks of the month. The sup- ply of fruit is not sufficient for the de- mands of the eastern markets. This good fortune of the California orange -growers is largely due to the ill -fortune of the .Florida. growers. A riot in the University of Rome shows that a section of the students are ques- tioning the wisdom of sending Italians to fight in Abyssinia fox something of no advantage whatever to the Italian people.

A By a happy Fate a Great Sufferer domes to Know of Dodd's Kidney Pills., One sometimes stops to think of what might have boon but for some appar- ently trivial happening. Mr. James Somerville, residng at 157 B'ellwoods avenue, Toronto, had been a sufferer for two years from acute rheu- matism But one day his duty took him, in his capacity of undertaker, with afuner- al to a rural churchyard near Richmond Hill. By chance he was billeted to the hos- pitality of a near -by farmer, who, notic- ing his weak and crippled condition, did more than entertain hint—he prescribed. "You go and get a box of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills. They'll knock that rheuma- tics out of you," he said. "And so I bought the first box," ex- plained Mr. 8. "I really do not know," he said further, "what would have be- come of me had I missed knowing about Dodd's Kidney Pills, for the first box completely relieved me. "I had pain and weakness across the. bank which I knew carne from the kid- neys, but I had no idea that this had tiny relation to the terrible rheumatism, '0ni which I so often suffered—soinot es in bed for several weeks. "And yet I have not used them prop- erly. I have turned to them several times in my distress, using only until relieved. "I now realize that 1 should have used them to got myself tvholly back into per- fect health, as I read others have done." Dry Blocks of Peat. Many people have probably wondered, as I have, why the immense peat deposits existing in different parts of the United Kingdom are not turned to better account than they have been hitherto. From the result of recent experiments there would seers room to hope that this will speedily be done. A process has been introduced for preparing peat for fuel by first disin- tegrating it and then working it up into dry blocks. These blocks burn brightly, are perfectly clean to store and to handle, and, above all, give off only a small amount of smoke, and, that anything but offensive—in fact, the fumes are said to be highly beneficial to persons affected with chest complaints, so that a smoky chimney with a peat fire may prove a blessing in disguise.

A common impression prevails that the appetite for alcohol has been in many cases inherited, and that these victims of the disease are not accountable for their unfortunate condition. While "doctors differ," the most recent researches into this interesting question seem to have settled conclusively that there is but one way of making an inebriate—put alcohol into hits. Many inherit peculiar consti tutional eonclltions which render them easy victims to the inroads of alcohol, but most oases of hereditary inebriety—so called—can be traced to the nursery and no further. ,More important, however, is it that the impression should be removed from the minds of those who believe themselves to have inherited the malady, that there is no pure for them and that they are destined to carry the burden tc the grave, At Lakehurst Institute, Oak- ville, have been treated with perfect suc- cess, during the last four years, large numbers who for this reason believed their oases hopeless.
