"N" —The Independent Long Distance Telephone Co., which now has an ap- plication before the Legislature, repre- sents a capital of $2,500,000, the bonds of which have already been provided for. The company is really no more or less than the United Telephone As- sociation of Ontario, which represents some fifty farmers' companies through- out the province from Windsor to Ottawa, but more particularly in the Western Peninsula. products Of Canada in 10111 was $23,- 510,000. With one exception, in IOOI, When a phenomenal catch of salmon in British Columbia swelled the total valve of that year's fisheries beyond. $23,000,0O0, this is the largest time - gate on record. Tho following varie- ties of fish contributed More than a million dollars each to the general re- sult ;----Saluron. $3,809,515 ; lobsters, $3,601,151 ; cod, $;3,01;3,05-1; herring, $2,150,489 ; whitefish, $1,055,812. Tho valve of sardines was $790,141, and oysters, $155,016. The touch despised eels are at the foot of the list, but this branch of the fishery ilulestry yielded $127,444. During the year no less than 77,315 sten were engaged in the Canadian fisheries, not including the numerous employees in the lobster industry. These fishermen used 0,393- 383 fathoms of gill nets and seines, be- sides other fishing gear and fixtnres, aggregating a capital of $12,350,912 in- vested in the whole fisheries of the Dominion. —It is said that in her early life the Queen of England was living on the third floor of a corner house in Copen- hagen, and her father, whom no one ever dreamed then of being a king, was poorer than many a burgher in the same street. She and her two sisters, now Czarina of Russia and the Duchess of Cumberland, occupied the same room, scantily furnished, and in- stead of a wardrobe a curtain drawn across to hide the pegs on which their few dresses hung. They had never worn a silk dress in their lives. Now Alexandra doubtless has all the dress- es she wants, but it is more than like- ly that she looks back with pleasure upon those years as the happiest of her life. R•„ —The total value of Canada's miner- al output in 1005, according to the un- revised figures issued by the Depart- ment of Mines, was sixty-eight and one•half million dollars. Of this over thirty-seven million dollars was re- presented by metallic products, gold alone being responsible for over four- teen and one-half millions. Of nickel and copper the output was about seven and one-half millions in each case, while the output in silver was over three and one-half millions. In non-metallic products coal held the first place with an output of seventeen and one-half millions. Portland cement came next with nearly two millions, and asbestos third with close on to one and one-half millions, *•* AGRICULTURAL BiLL. Hon. Mr. Monteith's Bill regarding Agricultural Societies has had its first reading. Heretofore agricultural societies were organized according to districts and townships. This system is done away with by the present act, which makes no distinction among societies. Each society will be known according to the place which is its headquarters and at which it holds its annual exhi- bition. Agricultural societies will be permitted to use their funds for com- bating insects and weeds should they become a pest in the section. The method of dividing the grant is changed. Heretofore district societies have drawn a grant of $380 each,while the township societies in each district have divided among themselves the suns of $420 in proportion to the num- ber of paid-up members. It is now provided that the entire grant of $70,000 be divided pro rata among all the agricultural societies in proportion to the amount expendedin the previous year for agricultural pur- poses. This is specified in the act as being for the holding of spring stallion shows, prizes for agricultural products, money spent for agricultural and hor- ticultural periodicals, for the importa- tion of pure bred stock, for ploughing matches, for seed fairs, crop competi- tions and good farm competitions, for the destruction of noxious weeds and pernicious insects. It will not include the running ex- penses of the society, officers' salaries, or any funds used in paying for special attractions. Information in regard to this expenditure must be set forth by affidavit on or .before the first day of March. Regarding horse racing, there is no change, except that a clause provides in case there is a conviction under the section the society shall be debarred from receiving a grant in the follow- ing year. This means that "trials of speed" under the regulation of the officers of the society are permitted, but horse racing is prohibited, and any person guilty of a violation of the law is liable to a heavy fine. The act regarding gambling and games of chance is strengthened. The officers shall prevent all immoral or indecent shows, wheels of fortune, dice games, pools, coin tables, draw lotteries are debarred, and there is a provision against anyone introducing a gambling device upon the fair grounds. The Act conies into force on the 1st of February, 1907. —The famine in Japan has by no means reached its worst. The main and heart -reaching facts of the situa- tion are these :— Total population suffering.. 2,820,217 Population starving 958,875 Average rice crop in the three stricken Provinces— bushels 15,239,000 1905 rice erop, bushels 3,410,000 Shortage, bushels 11,829,000 Loss in money $15,377,700 Thousands of families have been with- out nourishing food for weeks and have been fighting off the grim form of death with pitiful mixtures of roots, leaves, acorns, or bark of trees. The next rice crop cannot be planted until June, and will not be harvested until October or November. In the mean- time relief must come from without. •N„ COUNTY POPULATION. (Ooderich Star). County Clerk Lane's return of the population of the county, sent to the Education Department for 1990, was as follows, and for tate sake of com- parison we publish that sent the pre- vious year. It will be noticed that the loss of population is, in the. town- ships, 690, and the gains in the towns incl villages 220, making the net loss from last returns, 470. The following are the returns : Municipality. 1000 291(1 1079 2108 304(1 3205 3008 2004 2388 2290 1952 3755 2073 2028 2120 1755 1891 519 993 1154 2097 1585 4295 903 2211 2210 411 556381 Ashflela Colborne Goderich township Grey Hay Howick Hallett McKillop Morris Stanley Stephen Tuckei'sniith Turnberry 1Jsborne • —The report of Hon. Mr. Hanna, Provincial Secretary of the Lunatic Asylums of Ontario for 1005, shows that there were 6,213 insane people in the Asylums of this Province on the 30th Sept. last. They cost $760,203.82 for maintenance for the year, of which sum $114,915.50 was paid by their friends, the balance by the Province. This is the entire Asylum accoinmo- dation of the Government, and Mr. Manna adds that applications are on file for many others, for whom there is not room at present. Insanity is more prevalent in England than in Canada, and it is remarkable that in- temperance is given as the cause of twenty-five per cent. of the lunatics in Great Britain, whilst it covers but six and a half per cent, in Ontario. The English report says also that the use of tobacco is a cause of insanity. "I do not say," adds the English Sup- erintendent, "that pipe -smoking is harmful, unless carried to excess. But the use of cigarettes, especially on an empty stomach, is a very potent fac. tor in the making of alunatic." —The annual report of the fisheries branch of the Departnient of Marine and Fisheries, gives a great deal of in. teresting information bearing on this impoitant branch of C"amtcdian indus- try.

'Without sleep there can he no bodi- ly or mental vigor, consequently sleeplessness is a dangerous condition. Nothing so surely restores sleep as Ferrozone; it's harmless—just a nourishing, strengthening tonic. Fer- rozone vitalizes every part of the body, makee• the nerves hardy, com- pletely rebuilds the system. The cause of sleeplessness is removed -- health is restored—yon can work, eat, sleep,—feel like new after using Fer- rozone. Don't put off--Ferrozone costs 50c per box at all dealers ; get it to -day. Clairvoyant .Medical Examination Free By DR, E. BUTTERFIELD of Syra- cuse, N. Y. Believing in clairvoyance or not, there is no gainsaying the fact that the doctor can explain the source and cause of your disease, either men- tal or physical, and has restored to health and happiness many persons who would have remained helplss in- valids all their lives. Send lock of hair, neine, age and stamp, to DR. E. F. BUTTERFIELD Syracuse, N. Y. An article in the Weekly Sun has the following criticism :— The maintenance of the Governor- General and his office costs the tax- payers of this country, directly, about $100,000 a year. 'What the Vice -Regal costs us indirectly cannot be esti- mated. The position of Governor-General is no longer political but social. With- out any real power in connection with public affairs, the one who happens to fill this place turns his attention to festivities and entertainments for talose with whom his duties bring him into immediate contact. There are State dinners at Rideau Hall for mem- bers of Parliament, elaborate recep- tions for their wives and daughters, and skating parties, theatricals, and all the other forms of diversion known to the butterflies of what is called "so- ciety" for those in official life at the capital. What is the result? The gubernatorial mansion, maintained at the expense of taxpayers, to whom frugality and industry are necessary virtues, sets a pace of extravagance in living to which members of Parlia- ment and members of the civil service endeavour to live up to. The farther result is that thousands who make the effort are constantly in debt to shop- keepers (more credit is given in pro- portion to population at Ottawa than in any other city in Canada); and a further result is seen in the increase of indemnity and the more or less fre- quent scandals arising from misappro- priation of public moneys. The tax• payers would be ahead in the end if they would give $200,000 a year to have Rideau Mall, the center of social folly, closed up altogether, The Port Elgin Tittles says, that Jno. Falconer dug a cedar post out of the cemetery that been in the grouted 30 years. It had been bored when put in the ground and. filled with salt. The result is that the post is perfectly swath B��R of aa��To� CAPITAL PAID UP RESERVE FUND TOTAL ASSETS $ 2.445 000 00 2,445,000.00 20,000,000.00 HON. WM. GIBSON — President .7.
