"Bea is generally 1 of 1.01 and h t.r• fa,� approved of. Canada is rapidly cow - lug to the front, and an iuternat€oral fair, if well earrled out, would be a ,geed advertisement of our natural. re= bours=es, Another bad weed has made its apt pearance in several places in Braun ford. and apparently it has been im ported in clover seed. The weed in question is a small species of derider teustuta arvensis.; It is entirely par- asitic in its nature and starves stud smothers the clover ou which it feeds. Dr. G. S. Bell, V. S. Kingston, has about 15 eases of sore eye, the new afi fiction appearing among cattle, to at- tend to throughout this district. Ile believes it to be due to a germ, and Says it is working havoc with the far - mere' herds. Horses affected with the same disease have been brought to his notice. The disease he believes to be contagious, Vessel owners say that the season of 1898 has been the worst year ever known in the lake carrying business. Prices for freighting ail kinds of grain, coal ore and lumber have been so low that only the largest vessels could clear expenses. Small craft at present freight rates are useless and vessels that cost $:0,000 ten years ago could not find a purchaser at any price at ail.—Ex. Some of the big Chicago firms had an illustration of the value of advertising recently. During the six days of the stereltypers'strike none of the papers were published, and 1lessrs Siegel Coo- per at Co., who employ 3,000 hands, say their business fell off two-thirds through being unable to advertise. Frank's boot department reports a 50 per cent. falliatg off in trade for the same reason. The sae wspapar advertisement is a pow- er to boem business. Do you use it sufficiently? The StratfordIlerald knows some- thing about the importation of the much abused English sparrow, and is forced to admit that Mr. Atwood is correct in his surmises. The English sparrow was first introduced into Canada about 30 years or more, by William Coleman, of St. Marys, a butcher, and an English- man, who built comfortable little hous- es for them among the trees in front of the National Hotel, an 1,Vater street, and cared for them uutil they multi plied and spread all oyer the country. *5* There is much money in poultry, says Prof. Robertson, who recently re- turned from Great Britain with the Minister of Agriculture. Choice, well - fattened fowls bring from $1.50 to $2.40 each in London. The Minister of Ag- riculture proposes to initiate a few poul- try fattening stations in Canada to il- lustrate how the work is carried on. By following the right method of fat- tening chickens three months old are made to almost double their weight in from twenty days to three weeks of fat - timing, The extra weight is nearly al- together meat and fat, and these of the most tender, palatable and nourishing quality. A despateh from Montreal says it is expected that a conference between Sir William Van Horne, Sir Charles Rivers Wilson and Mr. Price will take place before the president of the Grand Trunk returns to. England, walla view to pave the way to a settlement of the rate war. This conference has been on the cards for some time past, but izo to the pres- ent has not been brought off There is still a hope that a way may be found to bridge over the difficulties which prevent the roads concerned from enter- ing into a hearty conference with the, earnest desire to reach a settlement through a policy of give-and-take all round. A gentleman who is extensively en- gaged to agriculture gives the follow- ing as a remedy for the pea -bug^, He says that if peas are threshed early, they will heat, which will destroy the insect. The remedy is at least inex- pensive and easy to try. .x A new society has been formed in Toronto, which -the members say will be province wide iu the Smoot of its influence. It is knewz► as the Catholic Registration Society The object of it i e 1'i 1 e s to have _'eery Catho ac vote to th Provincial voters' lists registered. The intention is not to direct the vote. .-and the soeiety is nom partizan. The pro - meters say that at elections it is found that often many- Catholics are without votes. Henry Curets, of Gederkh ts*wn hip, is no 3onger au advocate of tree spray - mg, says the Clintou News Renard, :and if asked the wily and the where. fore will perhaps shrug his shoulders and see' nothime, but point to his or chard where four spraying experi weuts were conducted by o a:' rials sent out by the Government. The trees look as if they had beea treated too liberally and are covered with a blush -white sub- stataco, while frust is dwarfed and spot- ted, Mr. Curwin would just as soon the espeI weuters had selected some other orchard as the scene of their ex - ./meats Do you knew that it is the sineil OCOMIks and saviug rather lean the large profits or earnings which in times of business depression go far to ward making a profitable business? The old and trite adage "Look well after the pence and the pounds will loon after themselves "is equally true tQ-Bane. We Canadians are becoming real spaudthrifts in these small expen- ditures. It's five cents here, ten cents there, a quarter for something else, till these little luxuries and dainties, trite ling tidebits and "Lhat could as well be let alone, so far as health, comfort or real advantage in any way is eoueerned, use up our spare cash -- the small change goes and goes till the purse has to be repleuished wtth large bills, *5* SIMPLY ABSURD Again the story of the great English Syndicate about to buy up all the fur- niture factories in the country is going the rounds of the press, Every time a few foreign buyers visit the market this moonshine is started. While it tray be true that some English capital is seeking profitable ineeetment in Canadian factories, the idea of corral! ing all the factories into a gigantic trust is so absurd as to be beyond com- ment. Auy old planing mill can be turned into a furniture factory, and where Englishmen or any other men start buying up furniture factories they will find plenty to absorb their money. Far too much is being made of the little effort that is being made to secure a foreign outlet for our Can ad€an goods. Canadian manufactur- ers have adopted au export policy sim- ply as a measure of self-protection. *** The little " Want " advertisment which has become so popular as a silent buyer, a silent seller and a silent purveyor of good possesses the double virtue of being cheap and profitable. It brings labor to the unemployed and help to those who desire to employ, It makes homes for men and women. It transfers property and. in a general way is responsible for 25 per cent, of the business transacted in the coin. mercial world. It fills empty houses and brings prosperity to the landlord. It gives the poor working girl employ ninbusiness it meat ; it sets me up bus e gets is you an agint if you desire one ; it gives you an opportunity to borrow money where the rate of interest is the iowest ; it furnishes you a medium of exchange; it tells you, in fact, where to go, when you go, how to go to every place everywhere and secure something that you may want, and to which no other medium over devised could suc- cessfully direct you. * * IT WAS ITIS DREAM. An exchange relates that once a far- mer had two thousand bushels of wheat which he sold, not to one single grain merchant, but to two thousand differ- ent dealers, a bushel to each. A few of them paid him in cash, but a great- er number said it was not convenient, but would pay later. A few months passed, and the -man's bank account ran low. " How is this? " he said. " My two thousand bushels of grain should have kept me in affluence until another crop is raised. But I have parted with the grain, and have In- stead only a vast number of accounts, so small and scattered that I cannot get around and collect it fast enough to pay my expenses." So he posted up a public notice asked all those who owed him to pay quickly. But few came. The rest said, " Mine is only a small matter, and I will go and pay some of these days," forgetting that, though each account was small, when all were put together they meant a large sum to the man. Things went on thus. The man got to feeling so bad, and rolled and tossed about .so much in bis efforts to collect, that he fen Out of ted and awoke, and, running to his gran- ary, found his two thousand bushels of wheat still safe there. lie had only been dreaming and hadn't sold his wheat at all. Moral -The next day the man went to the publisher of his paper and said; " Here, sir, is the pay for your paper and when next year's subscription is due you can depend upon me to pay it promptly. Istood in the position' of an editor last night, and know how it. feels to have one's honestly earned money scattered all over the country in small amounts. /HOW I:lOE5 THIS PIT ? The Shoe and Leather Journal gets off Che following trite criticism of cer- tain classes of people which infest every: community ;—A woman will ge into a dry goods store packed tothe roof with goods of every style and val- ue and come out with a fixe cent paper of pins. That is what she went in for, and she got what she wanted, We its: ually rind what we are huntiug, We base known people to go tochurch and come away with some grammatical mistake madee by the preacher, w1eu they could not even recollect the text.

Everything that is of use to mankind becomes a commercial eoat- modity and is bought and sold and why should liquor be an exception then, as God. made the element of liquor and Christ ac`ually made the liquor itself Would it be reasonable to suppose that he would make thing injurious to Man, or operate as a fire to himself, if usedd as he desired it should be. Now the ques• tion, `" how would Cbrist vote?" Hats the same yesterday, to day and forever. What he made nearly 2000 years ago, he would make to -day, for God is an unchangeable being. Then how would he vote, albs the Templar Advocate?, My answer is he would vote NO, other- wise he would condemn his practice and teaching while onearth, and this he could not do. No, nor would he do so to please all the prohibitionists In Cbristaindom; no, nor would he do so even to retain the esteem of that Lon- don Divine, who In Crediton and. Hein sail said, If any person would convince him that Christ made fermented wine, be would have nothing more to do with him. Paul who expounded the dor trios of Christ, says a drunkard should not enter the kingdom of Heaven, This implies that a certain use is allow- ed, that there is a line dividing the tem- perate with the intemperate. On one side is safety, the other death. This is Paul's teaching, Miss Robertson, Sunday evening, in delivering an address on the public life of Saul, painted out clearly tbat he should lose the crown of Israel in con. sequence of his disobedience to God's commands. She plainly explained that not doing what was required, or, doing more than was required, was sinful and would most assuredly be puuished, as in the case of Saul. NOW PPR TiHE MISLEADING STATEMENTS There is an article going the rounds of the papers, I see it in the Montreal and Ontario papers,ers, it has been reada in n prohibition meetings as a reliable stat e - ment made by Neal Dow, the originat- or of the Maine law. I answered. that article some six months ago. It stated it was N. Dow's evidence before the Royal Commission. As I have the orig- inal evidence of N. Dow I compared them and found a. difference between the two. I made comments showing the unreliability of the statement or how it was misleading, but every time it was reprinted, there appeared some changes to suit my objections, but the present issue as appears in a. late Ex- positor makes a further departure from the original. Before going into these misleading statements, let me review some of N. Dow's sayings. Mr. Dow was very bitter against the clergy stat- ing that if they would give him the help he expected from them the liquor business would soon be driven out of the state, but, says he, they preach tem- perance, pray temperance, but vote rum. He would rather they would re- verse this custom. Now those preach- ers were acting acc-Irding to Scripture in those days, striving to reform by moral suasion. This did not suit Mr. Dow. In a temperance tour in other States Mr. Dow uniformly stated the improv- ed condition of Maine as regards drink and otherwise, that no liquor was ob- tainable in Maine, but when he return- ed he made a great fuss in consequence of the excessiveconsumption of rum in Maine. Why, he says, the whole state is rotten with rum. Every now and then he would see some defect in his supposed perfect law, until about 56 amendments were made and then just before his death he was agitating for a prohibition political party. According to the statement in the Expositor and other papers, N. Dow is reported, as saying, that more liquor was consumed in Maine than in any other state in proportion' to population. There were a great many distilleries and breweries in Maine; seven distiller- ies and two breweries in Portland. These distilleries and breweries were. for wholesale business, but their being closed up in Maine only had the effect of locating them in other. states on larger and more improved plans, So in astingf'y�c�c�8c,ac,+�s+a�,w.,8�•.�Tc��C,a&lca�r,�,�,at,�.lrG.sz.�.as...tt�,Ri�C,+�,� Ifi'3 �Kllcl� hhidrc].. ,case be overcome in almost all cases bythe use of scotes uIs t'm tont of Ca -Liver 0.11 and the 1-1hos- ph, �•- ates of Lime and Soda.

More Laquer is made, sold and drank in the Vain. Again lir. How speaks of the improv ed eauditieu :of Mantle. It would have been o an impossibility to have carried a liquor law under the condition of things in Maine as described by Sir. Dow. Wickedness, crime and misery had cut- minated to its utmost capacity, Here was a grand opportunity for reform. Temperauee societies, ably asssisted by church and clergy, took the matter in hand, and as /night be expected a won- derful change came oyer the people. The doatiog population being lumber. rues and fishermen taking do portion. tar interest in state matters afordeda good opportunity for passing a prohibi- tory lave, I think this temperance reform by societies and churches started in 1816 and prohibition in 1851 So it must be evident to any mind that to the church es and societies is due the reform and by enacting prohibition it would drive out the distilleries and breweries. Mr, Dow was anxious to get all the credit of the reform to himself and many. years after accuse the preachers of oat assisting him in his temperance reform. Mr. Dow says there is not 1-20 as much sold in Maine now as then, or 1-100 part as much old in Portland as then. Would we not expect a large reduction of traflte with seven distilleries and two breweries in Portland always clos- ed. It may be true that Maine is more prosperous under prohibition than be- fore. Canada is far ahead of Maine in prosperity under license. Mr. Dow says that $1,000,000 will pay for all the liquor smuggled into Maine. What about drug stores and dives ? What about agencies to sell liquor? Every town and city has its government agency to sell, Portland's receipts from this source is generally over $60,000 annually. The writer in the Expositor forgot to mention Mr. Dow's last examination by the R. Commission. Mr, Dow stated that drink caused insanity, crime, pov erty, etc. In his first examination he said all such places for unfortunates were nearly empty. At his last exam- ination the commission had fortified themselves with correct information, he that d h e at there was an increase in these several institutions, being about 1500 in the asylum. His reply was that he could not account for it, but says he "the fact remains that drink causes those evil results and helps to fill these institutions." The inference I draw is that Mr. D's theory with regard to cause is correct, but his prohibition cure was at fault. The fact that tbe daily municipal courts have before them on some days 10 drunks to 3 other charges, in Port land that about 66 per cent of all con- victions is for drunkenness. These facts go to prove that Maine, though under prohibition now 57 years, is not in that temperate or social status that the advocates of Prohibition would have us believe. Per capita, judging by the arrests for drunkenness, Port. land has two drunks to every one in Toronto; Toronto four to one in Mon- treal, and forty to every one in Berlin, Canada; and yet those pious prohibi tionists say " Oh give us Prohibition. What do we care for increased taxa- tion ? What do we care for lost reven- ue ? even-ue? What do we care for the state of things in Maine ? What do we care for N. Dow's 56 amendments ? We have an amendment in our Canadian Prohibition bill, that will cast all N. Dow's efforts to the winds. What do we care for these sentimental expres- sions, ' is your heart right ? is your soul right ? seek ye first the kingdom of Christ,' etc.? We want prohibition pure and simple; once prohibition ours, all good things will follow." Tho sentiment of moral suasion is a thing of the past, totally inadequate to pres- ent needs. Right smartly did Neil Dow chastize tbe efforts of the Clergy previous to the passage of Prohibitiou, and subsequently on account of their moral suasion theory of trying to save body and soul, he wanted them to preach politics to the people. N. Dow's efforts to induce the Clergy to drop the it moral suasion views was not without its effect, for some denornina tions as a body now discard moral suasion, and hold up to the people pro hibition as the only hope, thereby din claiming God's inability to redeem his promise.
