The bare idea of such a thing seems to be utterly re- pugnant to them. They are anxious to be office boys, or counter -jumpers, or salesboys' or clerks, or something of that kind, Too luany of thein dream of being great merchants, great financiers, great doctors, great lawyers, great statesmen, or at least some kind of a great I Am that will not entail anything savoring of physicial labor. They want to wear flue clothes and spotless linen every day in the week. While it is, of course, a laudable ambition on the part of any young roan to want to become famous in business life or in some of the professions, and create a big stir in the world, yet it must be patent to the most casual observer that these avenues of endeavor are already greatly over -crowded. With thousands of briefless lawyers eking out a from -hand-to-mouth `existence ; with thousands of young doctors who scarcely know what a real pat- ient looks like ; with thousands of men in mercantile pursuits who can- nothope, in the face of the relentless competition of the big-xnoneyed con- cerns, to ever merge trona the nose - grinding rut of one-horse shop -keep- ers, is it not a matter of wonder that so ninny of otu Canadian boys refuse to tnrn their attention to the more inviting fields of mechanics :? NOTES AND COMMENTS Sir Oliver Mowat, the coining Lieu- tenant -Governor of Ontario,is finishing the business of his department, as if he anticipates leaving for To- ronto about the middle of November, when Hon. David Mills, the new Min- ister of Justice, will enter on the dut- ies of the office. x According to LeCourrier du Canada Mr. Hardy has been negotiating with Mr. Charles Devlin, ex-M,P„ formerly of Aylmer, Quebec, with a view to Mr. Deylin's admission to the Ontario Cabinet as a representatiye of the Irish Catholics of this province. This it is said, is the reason why Mr. Devlin is resigning his immigration agency in Dublin. Mr. Devlin has been one of the men on Mr. Tarte's chessboard. He was a follower of Tarte in Par- liament, and was sent to Ireland at Tarte's suggestion. Owing to certain dismissals made by Mr. Hardy his rela- tions with Mr. Hardy have been some- what strained of late, and the Pre- mier has evidently conceived the idea of dispensing with Mr.Hardy and put- ting Mr. Deylin in his place. x x Nobody charges Mr. G. W. Ross with enriching himself out of the public purse, but he is every day charg- ed with allowing hundreds of thous- ands to lee filched out of the pockets of the people for high priced and in many cases wholly unnecessary school books. The government receives the money of certain book publishers in Toronto and in this way creates a monopoly, since no others are allowed to use the plates. These publishers have fattened on the public and the people have been robbed to a correspon- d ng extent. Favorites ofMr.Ross have had their books authorized by Mr. Ross (nobody else has authority to authorize a school book) and are al- lowed to charge royalty on every copy sold. Almost any good and smart boy can procure employment in some of the many skilled industries that are carried on in our large towns and cities, and the boy who serves his apprenticeship faithfully gets a train- ing that will be advantageous to him all through life, and that will enable him to earn a living as long as he lives. We should suppcse that any real sensible boy would think of be- coming a skilled workman in a good trade ; would like to look forward to the time when he could stand up as an independent journeyman, for ex- ample, in the carpenter`s trade, o^ the brass worker's, or the tailor's, or • the stonemason's, or the watchmak- er's, or the fresco -painter's, or the 's 'c printer's, c or the blacksmith's, ' P , m tri s or the gilder's, or some other trade worthy of his manhood, It is a splendid thing for a young fellow to start out in the world with a good trade. He can be as stiff as he pleases, and does not need to knuckle down to any- body, neither the boss nor the building foreman, if he minds his own busi- ness and steers clear of gallivanting. He can nearly always get a job at fair pay, and can often have a chance of travelling to some other part of the country to look for a bet- ter job at higher pay. What long- headed Canadian boy would not like to have such a show in Life ? We hold that every boy who needs to earn a living docs well to ]earn a trade, and then strike out in life. The young man who enters life without a good practical knowledge of a trade or calling that will enable him to earn a livelihood, begins life Iacking the fundamental requisite to success. In this age of speculation, when trained ability is the recom- ea ----- minetation to perseverence, a com- plete mastery over some one calling is absolutely indispensable to attain the rewards of this busy world. The high state of perfection to which modern producing agencies have been brought, and the competitive strife that marks the struggle for industrial supremacy, demand thorough skill to engage in their field of labor. Me- diocrity, or a mere acquaintance with the catchwords of a trade, does not constitute a mechanic, nor have they any value to the practical business man seeking competent help.

A large crowd turned out to enjoy the sights inci- dental to an affair of this kind. The usual number of gullible youths was fleeced by a large band of sharpers, who seemed to be doing a rushing business in disposing of lines of "sure winners," and the subjects are perhaps wiser men, with their recently ac- quired knowledge, which can be used another time. The fruit and roots, were poorly represented. The fancy work was a good display, both it de- sign, quantity and arrangement. A large amount of good bread and but- ter exemplified the more practical ability of farmers wives and daugh- ters. The best poultry exhibit of years was on the ground, while the display of sheep was very good, being far above the average. .Horses and thoroughbred cattle, especially the latter made a splendid showing— judges say the best ever known. The exhibit of swine was also up to the usual mark. Taking altogether the fair was a success iu every particular, and though the managers feel thoro- ughly satisfied with `the result, next year they will endeavor to offer even better anduce bigger e eluents tontiCea1g t crowd of exhibitors and visitors. The trials of speed being purely local were much enjoyed, and furnished good sport. There were some five or six runaways during the day, and broken rigs could be seen in all directions. With the ring in its unprotected state the wonder is more accidents do not happen. Some means should be ad- opted to keep back the crowd in future. The following is the prize list -•— x t x It is a pretty fair indication that the Ontario elections are nigh at hand when we find. M. Y. McLean,ali. P. P., the Liberal candidatefor South Huron, commencing to whine. It is one of bis failings. He did it before ; now he's at it again. Two weeks ago THE TIMES, in referring to the candidature of H. Eilber, the standard-bearer of the Conservative party in this Riding, incidentally mentioned the name of Mr. McLean ; and last week's Exposi- tor, Mr. McLean's month -piece, con- tained a whining article in which it is stated that THE TIMES is abusing him. There is not a word of abuse it the article referred to ; we simply stated in effect that Mr. Bishop. the late ..member. had 1'een dishonorably disr?i_ed. On Ilse other hand, how- ever, veer eotem. libels 'Mr. Faber, whe.n It says that "by some tnyter- "ese s. _leight _f -hand performance he Celt .p•- "paid �:; ,� _ a,� + . ,._a. x�+� dila by the "township c '.17.:ephen, with $11,ese ,"- There was nothing sly about it ; it might, however. be mysterious to the Expositor, Mr. Eilber explained his plan of paying off the debt, and the electors had confidence in his word and kept him in office for nearly 20 years, having only been opposed once, and on this occasion he defeated his opponent by over 5 500 majority. This is an indication of Mr. Eilber's popu- larity, andaffords a fair idea of the de- feat Mr. McLean will sustain in the forth -coming campaign. As to the nepotism previously under discussion Mr. McLean cannot hope to explain away that which is admitted. by Mr. M. C. Cameron. Mr. Eilber is being heartily received by Reformers as well as Conservatives, and if elected will do excellent service to Ontario in the Legislature. What Ontario wants is active, thoughtful men in the House ha. preference to the voting machines that sit behind Mr. Hardy awaiting their sbrievalties or registrarships. CANADA FOR THE WORLD. Sir Wilfred Laurier invented a splendid catch -phrase at the Board of Trade banquet. The cry he said, used to be "Can- "ada for the Canadians," but now it was changed, and the policy of the Government was "Canada for the world." This is quite true. Mr. Hardy is giving our logs to Michigan, and has ably succeeded in closing the Canadian mills. Mr. Fielding has awarded the con- tract to make our bank notes and our postage stamps to the American Bank Note Company, of New York, the engraving being done in New York in stead of in Canada. Mr. Blair bas now passed over the Kingston locomotive works, and has ordered engines for the Intercolonial at Philadelphia.

That paper points out that Sir Wil- frid Laurier promised. economy. The honest -Liberals are now rlisap- pointed_to find that instead of practise ing economy the new Hien are piling up the debt to "bribe constituencies, to build wild -cat railways, and to enrich political friends and speculators in nines.",; "To the farmers of Canada," asks the Gleaner, "what does rhetorical gush about denunciation oftreaties and Canada being a nation amount to ?" "Does such talk put a dollar in their pockets ?" The fact is that the rhetorical gush is intended to distract the attention of the farmer while the party favourites are getting away with his money. But we are ashamed at the protests of the Gleaner, Look at the loyal and patriotic man- ner in which the Toronto Globe stands up for every new mortgage that is unloaded, upon our farmers, and every rascality that makes a politician rich. at the expense of the people.

The Montreal Witness has always been regarded by Ontario readers as a rabid Liberal organ and never had a good word to say of the Conservative party or its Ieaders. It assumed that the Liberals were all heaven -born statesmen and pure honest politicians. It lauded the Liberal government of Ontario under Sir Oliver Mowat, and never found fault with any of its ne- farious transactions. But the 'Witness now believes that it is time for a change and looks upon Mr, Hardy as a miserable makeshift to succeed Sir Oliver, just as the electors throughout the province regard hila. He has a bad odor and honest Liberals dislike him. There is too much of the J. Israel Tarte flavor about him to suit the sturdy, independent and upright people of Ontario and they will let him know it at next election. The Witness has this to say of the Ontario government and Mr.Hardy as leader:— "Unquestionably eader:"Unquestionably the Liberal govern- ment does not now hold the strong position it did in public opinion in Ontario and for obvious reason. In the first place, it is by no means the same government which which for twenty- five years has administered, and for a great part of the time acceptably ad- ministerecl the affairs of the province. The Mowat government has been suc- ceeded by theHardy government. Mr, Hardy has never held at all the same place in the regard and esteem, even of the party, not to speak of the public, that Sir OliverMowathas held. I is questionable whether Mr. Hardy eve was a popular leader ; whether he wa wholly trusted even by his own party He always rested under the suspicion perhaps not altogether fairly, of bein the suggestor or author of the ques- tionable features of policy and acts of Sir Oliver's government, and was spoken of by his opponents as being the 'wickedpartner' of the firm." &cF ence and Skill Devoted To The Preparation Of Diamond Dyes. A Kingston Merchant Tells of His Release From The Pains of Rheumatism It Had Afflicted Him for Eleve Years and Many Remedies Wer Tried in Vain—Dr. William's Pin Pills Effected His Release. From the Freeman, Kingston, Ont. Fifteen years ago Mr. Alexande O'Brien, the popular Princess street tailor, was one of the most athletic young men in Kingston, both as afoot racer and otherwise. Eleven years ago be commenced business and short- ly afterwards was stricken with rheu. xnatism, which caused him much pain, loss of rest, and neglect of business. He states that he tried many doctors and many medicines, all to no avail. Over a year ago a friend advised him to try Dr William's Pink Pills, and though he had but little confidence in them, or advertised medicine of any description, at the urgent request of his friend he decided to give the pills a trial, and according to Mr. O'Brien it was a lucky venture. After the first box had been taken, customers noticed the change, and when three boxes had been finished the result was marvellous His strength had returned, impover- ished blood renewed muscles develop- ed, rheumatism almost disappeared, barring a slight stiffness iu knee joints which is gradually going, and in the last six months he hasdone more work in his tailoring establishment, than he had accomplished in the previous four years. A Freeman representative noticing the change in Mr, O'Brien's condition, asked him to what he at- tributed his apparent good health after such a long serge of illness. Without hesitation he replied. "Well I have taken no medicine in the past year other than Dr. William's Pink Pills, therefore I attribute my present condition solely to their use. They bad such a good effect in driving rheumatism out of my system and building up my shattered constitution, that nay wife whose health was not any too good also tried the pills. A few boxes remedied her illness and she too, is as loud in her praise of them as I am. Many of my customers and friends who witnessed the effect of the pills on my constitution commenced to use thein, and they relate the same story as I have told you. I ala as well now as ever I was in my life. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure by going to the root of the disease. They renew and build up the blood, and strengthen the nerves, thus driving disease from the system. Avoid imita- tions by insisting that every box you purchase is enclosed in a wrapping mark. Dr. 1 trade bearing the, full Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. It is impossible for the makers of imitation and adulterated package dyes to put up colors for home dyeing work that can give any degree of sat- isfaction to the public. Imitators have not the scientific knowledge or the capital to clo honest and good work. Scientific, men of the highest attain- ments in the chemistry of colors give the benefit of their knowledge and researches for the preparation of Dia- mond Dyes and the protection of those - who use them. Common dyes ars gross frauds and are sold by dealers,for the sake of ex- tra profit. Diamond Dyes, though they cost vastly more to prepare, are made to give satisfaction to millions by their perfect qualities. Beware of the dealer who says his crude dyes are equal to tbe wonderful Diamond Dyes. Goods colored with Diamond Dyes are fast to soap, water and sun : of no other dyes is this true. FOLLOWED THEIR ADVICE. "I broke out with great blotches on my face, and friends told me my blood was out of order and that I ought to take a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. I followed their advice and from that time to this I have not had any eruptions on my face. I know Hood's is a good medicine." MRs. A. E.

Of til Gananoque Resident—Flesh Fell off from 214 to 14.8 -Abandoned by Physicians—Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart Saved His Life. Four years ago Jacob Dewitta, of Hay Island—near Gananoque—was. dragged almost to the verge of death by dreadful heart disease. Remedies failed, Physicians failed. He was given up to die. From vigorous man- hood he had gone to a broken de- spondent wreck. He procured Dr. Ag- new's Cure for the Heart, used it faith- fully, and to -day he weighs 218 pounds, and lives to bless the day the great remedy was recommended to him Sold by C.

A Detroit jury has awarded Sarah. A.E. McLeod, Windsor, a verdict for $1,000 damages for personal injuries against the city of Detroit. Several months ago Mrs. McLeod caught her foot under a. loose gutter plank. She was thrown yiolently to the pave-- nient. William Panton, teller in theDomin- lon Bank Napanee, is now on trial on a charge of stealing $32.00 from the Bank vaults in August last. The mission of Hood's Sarsaparilla is to cure disease, and thousands of testimonials prove it fulfills its mission well. Thin, Pale Children One satisfaction in giving Scott's Emulsion to children is they never object to it. The fact is, they soon become fond of it. Another satisfaction is because it will make them plump, and give them growth and prosperity. It ' should be given to all children whoare too thin, or too pale.
