TIIE EXETER ADVOCATT, THUI1SDAir, DEC. `ad, 1890. The Week's Com;nercial Surlmary. The net gold balance in the • United States Treasury is $132,700,000. • Tee Batik of Beugtal has'raisod its disc count rate from S to 9 per cent. The world's visible supply of wheat shows a decrease of nearly 5.000,000 bush- els f r the week. Official returns of the crop of wheat in Great Britain place the yield 20,000,000 bushels in excess of 1505. It is estimated that Europe will require 1'0,000,600 bushels of wheat front. the United States between this and July 31, 38107. Toronto Railway is the strongest stock on the Exchange. The late buying is due to growing leeliug that the cars will soon run on Sundays. The 'Winnipeg Grain Exchange Council has arrived at the conclusion that with a properly equipped batt for crushing ice, navigation ae Fort William could be lengthened for two or three weeks. Offerings of wheat in Ontario are more liberal, with white quoted at• 83c. Total etoeks of whent ;tt Toronto 178,205 bushels, as Against 156,074 bushels last week and 60,996 bu'hels a year ago. Most lines of wholesale and manufac- turing business in Montreal are assuming, a quieter phase with the approach of the holiday season, and with a good many houses the annual halauciug absorbs the plain attention. Tho visible supply of grain in tate United States and Canada is now 50,312,000 bush- els a decrease of 2,002,90 bushes for the week. A year ago the total was 63,750,000 and two years ago 55.030,000 bushels. The amount an paesage to Europe is 32,1::00,000 bushels for the week. The total on pass- age,a year ago was '25,70,s u0 bushels. There was a large decrease in the number of failures in the Dantinion last week as reported to the Daily bulletin, being 43 as compare,l to 53 the week be- fore, and 54 in the corresponding week of a year ago.

A waterfall, said to be among the great- est in the world, has been discovered in 'Venezuela. But as it costs time, trouble and money to get there Niagara will still be as popular as ever. Frank James, the noted ex -outlaw, -wants to become chief of police of St. Louie. Should he be appointed sortie of the criminals will get out of town or be- come law-abiding citizens—if a name counts, that is. Some newspaper men in Chicago do not know whether to feel horrified or other- wise. therwise. The police commissioner of that city recently ordered all bar -rooms to close at midnight except those within. a block sof newspaper offices. Sleighing without horses is among the probabilities of the future. The pleasure of speeding along behind a good horse, having an occasional brush with some friend, is too great, however, to be aban- doned for the new innovation of using a motor. A society for the study of mushrooms, .organized in Philadelphia, says there are 225 edible kinds of mushrooms and only four kinds of poisonous toadstools. But Jou could bit upon the "poisonous four" -with appalling ease, if you don't know how to discriminate. A Chicago woman is declared to be a phenomenon because she wears a dress that has thirteen pockets, and it is not a bloomer costume either. The chances are that she does not carry any more in them Shan the average woman does in her one pocket or her pocket -book. Scientists now tell us that there is danger in fresh eggs, it matters not how fresh they are, and advise us to wash them before cooking, to cleanse them of myceli- um and the fatal spore. If these dis- ttoveries keep on all our cooks will have to pass an examination in scientific re- search. Foot ball statistics for the season just ended give the number of injured as 125, three of this number proving fatal. This only includes severe injuries which were chronicled in the papers. There's one consolation—the list is not as large as last year's list. There is great room for improvement. There never was, and never will be, a universal panacea, in one remedy, for all ills to which flesh is heir—the very zature of many curatives being such that 'were the germs of other and differently seated diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one i11, in turn would aggravate the other. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when obtainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grievous Ills. By its gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems aro led into convales- cence and strength, by the influence which Quinine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. It relieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state of morbid despondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tran- quilizing the nerves, disposes to sound and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to the notion of the blood, which, being stimulated, courses throughout the veins, strengthening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby making activity a necessary result, strengthening the frame, and giving life to the diges- tive organs, which naturally demand 4nareased substance -result, improved appetite. Northrrep & Lyman of Toronto, have given to the pubiie their superior Quinine Wine, at the usual rate, and, gauged by the opinion of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of any in the market.

'Twas in old England, long ago, And merry wtis the tune;. • The hells rang o'er tee distant ]tills, In many a plettsttti t•hinte; The yule log burned upon the hearth, Anel through the house were sounds of mirth. The Squire was a mirthful man, And yet at tinges, 1 wt en, A look of sad nes, half subdued, Upon his face was seen; Ana often lo his joyous mood This shade of sadness would intrude. That night—it wus a Christmas night— The guests were in the hall, The holly with its berries fair Was decking every gall; And music from. the harp so sweet Made pleasure's round of joy complete. What made the Squire turn so pale, As on the Christ nuts air There rose without the manor halls A voice so street and clear? "'Vho sings without?" the squire said; "Not her, not iter, for she is dead." That quaint, old song, he knew it well; She sang it Mimi as child— That girl, sole daughter of his house— 'l'hat girl, so way ward, NV MI .Who disappeared one Christmas night Forever from her father's sight, "Go, bring the sinner in," he said; "I fain would see her face," The hall door opened, theca forte, Still wearing bennc.y's grace, Walked slowly in, with drooping head, "My child!" was all the Squire said. "Forgive, forgive!" the singer wailed, And knelt down at his feet; The guests, amazed, all gathered round, '1'o hear her to a seat; The Squire raised her, and in tears Said, "Child, I've waited many years,. 'To say the word that now yon crave. 1\1y friends, the lost is found, The dove's returned, her weary feet Could find no standing ground; The ark of safety gives her rest." And then lie clasped her to his breast. And all the guests cried out in glee, Aud pressed the squire's htuul; Tliis was the happiest Christmas night In England's "uterrie" land. Ahi would that all who're turned aside, Would but come home at Christmas tide.

I lova to believe that no heroic sacrifice is ever lost, that the characters of men are molded and inspired by what their fathers have done, that treasured up in American souls are all the unconscious influence of the great deeds of the Anglo-Saxon race, from Agincourt to Bunker Hill. It was such an influenoe that led a young Greek, 2,0110 years ago, when he heard the news of Marathon, to exclaim: "The trophies of Miltiades will not let me sleep."—James A. Garfield. It Stands to Reason. That a man whn gives his whole and undivided attention to one. particular enbject should acquire a greater pro- ficiency in it, than one whose energies are expended in different directions. This is true of the medical superintend- ent, and his staff of assistants, at Lake- hurst Institute,in their treatment of alco- holism and kindred diseases. Every fresh case adds to the experience of years, and to the number of those successfully treated. There is no sudden and danger- ous deprivation of liquor; there are no bolts and bars; the patient gives up the drink habit almost t,nconseiously, and, from that moment, to res the first step on his upward career, commencing life afresh under brighter auspices.
