OUR .NEAT AND UILK SOME NEW REGULATIONS AS TO THEIR INSPECTION reach n'y 01 the Report of the becreilrrY 01' the (lnlsr[o gelled 01 Meath. The consus of opinion of all soien- tific authorities is that groat and Posi- tive dangers exist in the use of meat and mills from animals suffering from consumption or tubereulosis; and that the two best methods of limiting these dangers areby the examination of the carcases of slaughtered animals for tub- ercle, .and by the testing of ranch cows with tabereulin. In view of the de- mands of municipal authorities for as- sistance of legislation, also regarding the views of all scientific experts and of the numerous Medical Health Offic- ers of Ontario, and further recognizing the priustioe of all countries most ad- vanced in puhlio health matters, the Provinolal Board of° Health of Ontario, during the session of 1892 secured the passing by the Le- gislature of a bill entiLled "An 'Act for the Inspeetion of Meat and Milk Supplies in Cities and Towns." This Act authorizes the Munioipal Council of every city or town to pass by-laws, should they deem it advis- able, providing for the establishment of a public, abattoir within the limits of the municipality, and for their in- spection by the local health authorities. This Act contains inter alio the fol- lowing Clauses :- "The Local Board of Health of every city and town may, in addition to per- iodical examination as to purity of pub- lie milk supplies, and as to the sanitary condition of the byres, or places where cows for public milk supplies are kept, inspect every ranch cow kept therein, as to its general health. In addition to such general inspection the Local Board of Health may provide for the testing witlt tuberculin by a registered veterinary surgeon of every cow kept in such byres or places for the diagnosis of tuberculosis." "Every cow may be tested and tbere- after dealt with according to the meth- ods set forth in the regulations adopted by the Provincial Board of Healtb, and approved ot by the Lieutenant -Govern- or -in -Council. "Any meat -packing establishment heretofore or hereafter created within the limits of any municipality in On- tario shall be subject to inspection in a manner similar to that of the muni- cipal slaughter -house or abattoir." "Any Medical Health Officer or sani- tary inspector may, at all reasonable times, inspect or examine any animal, carcase, meat, poultry, game, flesh, fish, fruit,vegetables grain, bread, flour, or milk exposed for sale, or de- posited in any place for the purpose of sale, or for preparation for sale, and intended for food for man; the proof that the same was not exposed or de- posited for any such purpose, or was not intended for food for man, resting with the party changed; and if any suoh animal, carcase, meat, poultry game, flesh. fish, fruit, vegetables, rain, bread, flour or milk, appears to Lie)).

The person' to whonn the same be- ongs, or did belong at the time of xposure for sale, or in whose posses - ion or on whose remises the same me found, shall be liable to a penalty ot exceeding $100 for every animal, armee, or fishy or piece of meat, esh or fish, or any poultry or game, or for the parcel of fruit, vegetables, rain, bread, or flour, or for the milk o condemned." While the Act makes it optional for ties to construct municipal abattoirs, requires that any city or town estab- shine an abattoir shall construct and eq it according to the . regulations dopted by the Board of Public Health. hese regulations will be published in he forthcoming report, which will also rain plans for model abattoirs. The special inspection provided for oder the regulations of the Provin- al Board of Health., which regula- ons were approved oe by an order•-in- ounott, dated December 28rd, 1898, pro - do for a personal inspection by a terinarian of every smith cow kept rdisease, and publics for testsafor uberculosis.

TRADE AND 00E1E110E, THE CONTINUED EXPANSION OF BOTH IN BRITAIN. Everywhere the Mille prise 01 the Anglo. Hexon. is Paramount in l itelness he Lane nod Sea, Ilewever disquieting the present cry that the foreigner is stealing our com- mercial supremacy, it is still possible to look with pride upon British enter- prise, says the Daily Mail of London, Eng. When we lift up our voice to bemoan the fast that our trade is being dhlolaea from us, we are apt to forget that we have done a little of this our- selves at various Limes, and that, in fact, we have before now annexed wbole industries without so much as a blush. But even then comforting reflection is not sufficient fm justifying 08 in rest- ing upon our laurels at a time when competitlon promises to become keener than ever. There seems little doubt that in many cases the Englishman has not adapted his wares to the demands of the foreign market, but, as stated in the Consular report on Chinesetrade, the decrease of imports from Great Britain has only taken place in the cheapest goods. BRITAIN GAINING, In the same report for the first Half of the present year the Consul says:- "Tbe growth of imports and shrink - ago of exports have had the effect of reversing the usual relative positions of the United States and Great Bri- tain." In other words, England now has one-quarter of the whole Chinese trade, while the United Status has but ono -seventh; whereas last year the United States held the lead. A country near home furnishes another instance of recent English enterprise, Roumania is almost entirely agricul- tural, wbere, until lately, the oldwood- en plough was used for tilling the soil, and the reaping book for harvest- ing the corn, The, Elkart iron plough was introduced speedily supplanting the old wooden one, and for a time Germany helot the market. Now, how- ever, on the large farms steam ploughs are being used, and these are pro- duced by English firms. The reaping - book, too, has been supplanted' by the British -made reaping machine. A NEW PAVEMENT. During the last fete years there has been a great increase in the number of houses, espeolally restaurants, Lo bels, eta., decorated and fitted with a beautiful granite, which, when polielled looks like marble. This has come from Frederiksha;d, in Norway, the quarries being worked by a little syn- dicate of Norwegian and ,Danish finan- ciers with a oaprtal oe 800,000 crowns. The quantity of this granite imported Into England bas been considerable, and was until lately on the increase, But Ireland has awkenod, and in future an exact:y similar granite will be upon the le ,ish market at a much less cost. Already one street in Manchester has been paved with it as an experiment, and the Norwegian granite industry will, let us hope, be transferred to the neighborhood of Cork. There can be uo bettor ex- ample of our trade -annexing proolivi- t:ies Haan the masterly manner to which we took unto ourselves the diamond - cutting industry. When the Itch -i - noon was brought to England it had been spoiled by clumsy cutting, and to recut it workmen from Amsterdam were imported. Amsterdam was then abs centra of the diamond dealing and cutting of ,the world. The diamond- fields Xie done deealls have aroughd dia- monds and Birmingham outs them. Writing of this industry the French Consul -General at Amsterdam says: -- A FRENCH PICTURE, "The situation of the smaller mer- chants and cutters is deplorable. The uncut diamond is brought to London whether the Dul ch merchants have to resort," and following this is a long lamentation on the transfer of the trade from Holland to England. The instances given above are how- ever, trifling in comparison wiib our great achievements in the years of this century prior to 1890. Before the Alabama crisis the United States were a very good second to the United leingdom in the carrying trades of the world. In 1821, 1,987 vessels engaged in the foreign trade entered British volts; two years atter the number had fallen to 081. Coining down to more recent years it will be 'found that tint shipping PPmg trade of the United Stator, In spite of the vast increase of their home industries, has not improved, but has gene from bad to worse, as wit- ness the following table:- 18 180 u to en lisp Bahup im Pro w and pro and Ma eel to pro rev trot bon taken from lowi 1W Although it is not likely. that Eng - lis} brewers will be able to supplant lager beer in tile Fatherland, at is satisfactory to note that England's ine- portatien of lager from Bavaria has decreased while the coneemption here has increased.
