NOTES AND COMMENTS. __— Before investing in tiny Of those de- Velopment eompanies which are being , 'floated at the rate of about three per diem, people ought to go to the Strip - tures to learn what happens when the blind lead the blind. Glance at the prospectus of any of these newly - hatched developnumt companies and then ask what the promoters are of- fering the public in return for ten cents it share. Mauy of these enter- prises ark, capitalized at two million five henleed theeeand dollars. Bet why $2.51,),Oadl. Why not $25,000,000, 01.$27),001, Or $25 ? Good intentions and ignorance are the main qualifica- tions in the directorate of most of these enterprises. They mean well, but .when a development company divides its good intentions into fracti- onal parts, which are offered at ten cents and upwards a share, it is time to ask fur more than good intentions. Hail, yes, more than half, of these develnpment companies are directed by gentlemen who know nothing, about mining, who do not know what they are buying or what they are selling. All they know is that what they are selling will not cost them anything if the enterprise is a success. Other people pay for the directors' short' !n that straws, and if the enter- prise is a -relieve the losses of that failure are entirely borne by the pur- chaser e of stock. These directors are as blind as the people who buy stock in their. enterprises, and when the blind lead the blind, shall not both fall into the ditch ? im•11, Toronto Civic Holiday will be held August 2.

Curzon, Parliamentary Secretary of the For- eign Office, addressed his constituents at Southport yesterday. He made an extended reference to the arbitration treaty, with which, he said, the name of the Marquis of Sallsberywould be perpetually linked. in history. If the motives and tactics. Which were alien to the spirit of the proposals they ap- parently intended to wreck. succeeded In strangling that agreement ,in its , cradle, they would not succeed In de- priving its authors, either on this side or the other side of the Atlantic. of the credit of its parentage, and it, later at would surely' come when their treaty, if not completed now, would take its place as a Part of the code of the Angic-Saxon brotherhood, and perhaps a part of the international law of the world. The law givers who originated it would ever afterward be A held in honored remembrance. Speaking of the eastern question, Secretary Curzon said that a 'e'er cloud was daily growing on the horizon, but e Was hopeful that prudent states- anship and the Unselfish aims Of the owers might yet dispel the cloud ba- re it breaks into a cyclone of utile ersal destruction. He presumed that he British people had two objects in view, the welfare of Crete and the avoidance of European war, The speaker excepted the Radicals, who, he said, held, without regard for facts, that whatever Greece aid was right. „Weal Atm/Nee Blefaellet, QUEER NOTICES TO QUIT- -- — saute of the Ileasoos for Mowing Given I'i' Di kit,11.11141e cl Tendu.s.

At the back of the house she rented was a lawn, adorned with flower bed and an arbor, which learned a delightful retreat on a summer's afternoon. Here the lady spent many a pleasant half house and would have done so again, but that iher peace of mind had been rudely disturbee by a neighbor, who, developing a sudden hobby, erected an apiary in his gar- den, and devoted himself enthusias- tically to the manufeeture of honey. An occasional sesame of bees round the lady's ears, just ie she was in the middle of a siesta, eves more than she cared for, hence hee determination to go. /t is not an unusuat thing for a per- son to give up a dwelling in con- sequence of its contiguity to a public house, but to leave one for the exactly opposite reason is a much rarer oo- curenee. Such, howeeer, was the mo- tive assigned by an artisan forgetting out of his cottage. "It's like thie," he said, in explanation. "I never keep beer in the house; it gets fiat and un- profitable under the parlor stairs. I like my ale fresh drawn and served up in something like condition, and I find the public's the place to get this.

London, April 3. -Several of the cor- respondents of London newspapers, telegraphing from •Canes., represent that the foreign admirals were serious- ly blameable for the fighting that oc- curred to day between insurgents and Turkish irregular forces on the penin- sula of Akrotiri. They state that Ad- miral Caneavero, the Italian officer who is in command of the combined fleets of the powers, had given his as- sent to the request of the insurgents that they be allowed to leave the pe- ninsula and pass through Canes. to the interior of the island. They evidently trusted that Admiral Caneavero would give them safe conduct, but it seems that no measures were taken to pro- tect them. When the admirals learned that the Bashi-Bazouks were barring the waY of the Christians, they ordered that de- tachments of sailors and marines be sent to disarm them and compel them to return to Canea, but it was then too late for the detachments to carry out their orders. It does not appear why the foreign warships did not seize the Bashi-Bazouks. ominous Threat of Russia.

La Grippe If you have had the Grippe, you know its aches and pains, the fever, the chills, the cough, the depression—you know them all. The Grippe exhausts the nervous system quickly, lowers the vitality. Two things should be one at once: —tb.e body must be strength- ened, and force must be given to the nervous system. Cod- liver Oil will do the first; Hy- pophosphites the second. These are permanently and pleasantly combined in Scott's Emulsion. It lifts the despondency and heals the inflamed membranes of the throat and lungs. But you need not have LA GRIPPE. You can put your system in a condition unfavorable to it. You can have rich, fed Mood, resistive strength • steady brain and nerves. Scott's Emulsion prevents as well as cures. And whether you send or go for Scott's Emulsion, be sure you get the genuine.

Medical men of the highest standing, and a host of others competent to j edge, declare that Paine's Celery Compound - is the only effective medicine for the banishMent of all the troubles that lead to sleeplessness or insomnia. In the spring season thousands are restless, fretful nervous, despondent and gloomy. They find it impossible to obtain restful and sweet sleep, and soon become. physically exhausted; some already tire mere wrecks of humanity. Such sufferers cannot with safety trifle with sleeplessness and continued unrest. All in such a condition nand immediate succor and aid before nature, becomes too overtaxed. The weakened, exhausted, and irritated system must be strengthened. For every form of sleeplessness or insomina there is but one remeilyetdme healer; it is Paine's Celery Compound, the only, medicine' that acts in a, truly natural way to produce sleep and per- fect rest. This wonderful remedy of nature shoeldhe used at once if eatisfactory. and immediate ' results are desired. Do not allow yottrrtm down, nervous system to lead you to the very brink of the grave in spring time. Putting off -will only,coinplicate:youe troubles, and deeper misery will be yours. Use Paine's Celery Compound and you are assured of perfect action of the heart, stomach, kidneys and liver, and sweet sleep will be yea' life blessing. Get "Pames," thekind that "(tures'. Remember there are miserable imitat- ions -celery preparations that are worthless and dangerous as well. Ask your dealer for "Paine's" andtake no other, if you seek for life and health.

A bill for the amendment of the On- ; tario Marriage Act, received its firk, reading on March 22, Several import- ant changes are proposed which will be gladly welcomed both by issuers of marriage licenses and by pereons contemplating matrimony.

This provit ion lute letl to a great deal of inconvenience both to the issuer of licenses and to the con- , tracting parties. The new bill pro- vides that before the issue of the li- cense the affidavit before required to be made by both parties shall be made before the issuer by one of them.

The pro- visions of the present mw, which re- wire the issuer to forward to the re- gistrar immediately upon the issue of the license, a form containing certain particulars about the parties, has been criticised by some ; but the framers of the bill have wisely decided to retain them. The provisions regarding the appointment of deputies, and the eh- forcement of penalties for breach of the act remain as before. DIED. Exeter North, on the 2nd thee Same Hieks, aged GI years.

'WELLS & RICHARDSON CO., Iiiloatreal. acycle.1 ' (Narrow Treetc1) The Only Mechanically Correct Bicycle on earth. All mechanics recognize that the en- forced contraction of the bearings, at the most vital point of a machine, viz., the crank hanger, must necessarily weaken the whole machine. We have. therefore, placed the ball bearlif,gs of Recycle Narrow Tread in the HUBS OF THE CRANKS, and let the chain and sprocket run BETWEEN the bearings, instead of outside them, as is the case with every bicycle in • the world. By so doing we lessen 'the pressure on the bearings over 30 per cent, and save a great amount of ex- ertion in propelling the machine. In order to distinguish our perfect ma- chine from all other bicycles, it was christened the RaCYCLE NARROW TREAD, that all might know it by its tread and crank hanger. See it at Cook Bros., .Jr'.
