SUITS !
There are a great manykinds of Suits, anti it would
take too long to go into etail, But the SUIT THAT
SUITS is the one made by MAXWELL Sr, HILL.
There is also a difference in Tailor-made Suits and
TAILOR-MADE SUITS. Every suit on the market is
in a sense tailor-made, but the phrase is sometimes mis-
leading. The only truly tailor-made suit is the one made
by the individual, made by hand and fashioned into shape.
instead of being rushed through what we call a "sweat-
shop." from one machine to another, without any real
tailoring being done on it ; and the material inside is
not intended to keep the garment in shape any longer
than to sell it.
We have the lines and styles of material that will
interest anyone who is wanting an up-to-date Suit.
We always keep in touch with the latest New York
styles, although we do not advocate extremes in style,
but leave that to the customer. We are here to make

---Mr. Hill, the new President of the
Great Northern Railway, says he ex-
pects within the next ten years to
have a railroad system in Canada
which will be almost an equivalent to
the Great Northern system as it is to-
day in the 'United St.'ttes, In the Ca-
nadian West it will touch the leading
cities, and likely traverse the Peace
River country with a line several hun-
dred miles further north than any
line contemplated by any of the pee.
sent Canadian systems.
—The amendments of the Public.
School Bill were introduced in the Le-
gislature recently. They are in line
with the announcement made by the
Premier at the opening of the session.
Each township is to pay to each school
section $300, which is to be applied to
the teacher's salary. The government
will pay $15 to each section uncon-
ditionally, and also pay 40 cents of
every dollar paid by the section over
$300 to the teacher. To encourage the
hiring of better teachers, the govern-
ment will give another grant of $i5 to
every section engaging a second-class
teacher, and $30 to every section en-
gaging a first-class teacher.

—It is said that great bodies move
slowly. China has made compara-
tively little or no progress for hun-
dreds of years, Now it is beginning
to dawn on the inhabitants that they
had better "move on." Doubtless the
example of Japan has had its influence
on the Chinese mind. One indication
of improvement is that the immediate
release of all the women and children
in China, now kept as slaves, has been
ordered by the Chinese Minister of
justice in the name of the Emperor.
The proclamation orders the destruc-
tion of all contracts entered into for
the purchase of slaves, and provides
severe punishment for any Chinese
subject who shall hereafter make such
contracts.
—A very important meeting of rail-
waymen was held this week in Toron-
to, at which five Canadian roads had
representatives. The object of the
conference was to draft a new code of
miles for Canadian railroads. The new
rules will mean, that for the future all
railroads in Canada will run under the
same train rules and signals. In other
words, an engineer on the G. T. R.
could run a train on any of the other
roads without becoming mixed in the
rules or signals. Those in attendance
say that it will be a safeguard to the
travelling public, and less opportunity
for collisions in freight traffic. When
arrangements are made, the new rules
will be submitted to the general man-
agers of the roads interested, after
which they will be handed over to the
Railway Commission for their en.
dorsation.

—It is not unlikely that the Voters'

tion, will be the basis of the fight in
Ontario between the Borden Opposi-
tion and the Laurier Goveritrnent, and
it may be, the Graham Opposition and
the \Vlrituey Government. The word
has gone out from Ottawa to attend
to the lists in preparation for the next
Dominion election. Neither the Lau-
rier Government nor the Whitney
Government is bound to stake its fate
on lists made in 1007. The four-year
term of the Whitney Government
could legally run until January 5,1900.
The five-year term of the Laurier Gov-
ernment could run until Nov. 3, 1909.
A year from next January would see
the Whitney Government to the limit
of its term, while the Laurier Govern-
ment need not necessarily go to the
country until two years from next No-
vember. The Whitney Government
may live out its time, but the Laurier
Government will go to the polls after
the next session of the Dominion Par-
liament. There are 214 members of
the House of Commons ; the next Par-
liament will have 221 members, owing
to the increase in the representation
of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

—What a change has five years of
British rule in South Africa brought
about t Even the most optimistic
could scarcely have hoped that within
so short a time, feelings of hostility
would have been allayed, and a sys-
tem of home government entrusted to
a people who so recently were in arms
and most bitter in their expressions
of hate. It might easily be assumed
that it would take at least a genera-
tion to obliterate the feelings caused
by the bitter Boer war. More remark.
able still is the fact that General
Botha, one of the most pronounced of
the Boer generals, should be the first
Premier of the Transvaal. At present
he is attending the Conference of colo-
nial premiers in London, England. At
a dinner given the new Ministry by
the citizens of Pretoria, the Premier
assured his hearers that British in-
terests would be as safe in the hands
of the Government as they could
possibly be in any other hands, and
that he himself would be as jealous
for the honor of the flag as any man
in the Empire. He acknowledged his
deep gratitude because "the King and
the British Government had trusted
them in a manner unequaled in his-
tory by the grant of a free constitu-
tion." He hoped and believed that
they would all show themselves wor-
thy of the trust reposed in them,

—An article in the Toronto Globe,
eferring to the Grand Trunk Pacific
ailway, the new transcontinental
ne, gives the following figures
The first 305 miles let to the
contractors last year will cost for
the grading and general prepara-
tion of roadbed, exclusive of brid-
ges, rails, ties, etc., about eighteen
and one-quarter million dollars.
The figures for the contracts for
the 457 miles of the road let last
month have not yet been officially
announced, but -it is understood
the total amount is a little over
thirteen million dollars. That
makes a total outlay for 852 miles
of roadbed (out of the whole
length of about 1,375 miles) am-
ounting to nearly thirty-two mill-
ion dollars. The cost per mile is,
therefore, averaging about $40,000.
On that basis the cost of roadbed
for the whole line will be about
$75,003,000. To this, of course,
must be added the cost of rails,
ties, bridges, stations, terminals,
etc. No estimate as to what this
would amount is as yet available."
Here we have the probable cost of the
roadbed only, given at $ 75,000,000. It
will be remembered that Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, on the floor of the House,
gave the cost of the whole road at
thirteen millions, and one of the Pre-
miers's supporters, on a Wingham
platform, said it would not exceed fif-
teen millions. Already, the cost of
393 miles out of the total of 1875 (or
about one-fifth of the road) has ex-
ceeded these ante -election estimates
by several million dollars. The road
will, however, open up new territory,
and some of it may prove to be rich
in minerals, and some good agricul.
bevel land. These things may, in
time, compensate the country for
the enormous expenditure required.
But it was scarcely fair to the elector-
ate to put the cost at 13 millions,
when it will probably be ten or twelve
times that amount, In plain terms,
it was deception.

—In the work of railway building in
Canada there is now engaged an army
of men equal to the whole militia
force of the Dominion. Of that army
laboring to promote the arts of peace,
some 5,000 men, or more than our
whole permanent military force, are
now engaged on two links of the Na-
tional Transcontinental Railway be-
tween Moncton and Winnipeg. Their
work covers a little Iess than one-
fourth of the new Government Iine, 1
which, in turn, is but a comparatively
small part of the whole amount of
new railway lines now under construc-
tion from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
In another two months or so it is ex-
pected that this Government railway
building army will be practically
doubled, while in the rest of Canada,
working on lines building for the vari-
ous railway companies, there will be
laboring a great army of fifty thou-
sand.

THE COW STORAGE ACT.
The Cold Storage Act passed by the
Dominion Parliament at this session
provides for the contracting by any
person for the construction of cold
storage warehouses in Canada, and
the granting of aid from the Do-
minion Treasury towards the same,
The location, plans, equipment, and
amount to be expended shall be sub-
ject to the approval of the Governor -
in -Council. A grant, not exceeding
30 per cent, of the amount expended
or approved of in the construction
and equipment of such warehouse,
may be made by the Governor-in-
Conncil, This grant shall be payable
in instalments. Upon the completion
of the warehouse, and cold storage, to
the satisfaction of the Minister of
Agriculture, a stun not exceeding 15
per cent. of the amount expended
may he paid ; at the end of the first
year 7 per cent.; at the end of the
second year 4 per cent.; and at the
end of each of the two next succeed-
ing years 2 per cent., provided the
warehouse is conducted to the satis-
faction of the Minister of Agricul-
ture.
The Minister may refuse to pay any
part of the grant, if he considers the
warehouse does not provide for the
proper preservation of products stored
therein. He may appoint inspectors,
who shall have access to ail parts of
the warehouses at all times ; hP may
order an inspection and supervision of
such warehouses ; and may regulate
and control temperatures.
The rates and tolls to he charged
for storage shall also be subject to the
approval of the Governor -in -Council.
He may also make regulations to
secure the efficient enforcement of the
Act, and may impose penalties not ex-
ceeding $50 on any person offending
against its provisions.
—To give some idea of how weeds
multiply, says the American Farmer,
it may be stated that a single plant of
pepper grass will produce 18,000 seeds;
dandelion 12,000; shepherd's purse,
37,000; wheat thief, 7,000; common
thistles, 05,000; chamomile, 16,000;
ragweed, 5,000 ; purslaine, 375,000 ;
plantain, 47,000, and burdock, 43,000.
Health For Run -Down Women.
From the experience of Mrs. John
Panke, Saskatoon, nothing compares
with Ferrozone. "At times I was
confined to my bed and couldn't do
any work. I was run down in flesh,
lost strength, my appetite failed, my
color was pallid. Weary and cast -
down, it seemed I couldn't catch up.
Ferrozone started a new kind of life
in my blood, built me up, vitalized
and strengthened my nerves, and
finally cured my heart and stomach
pains." Ferrozone is a rebuilder that
has special virtue in female ailments.
