—A great deal has been said about
the quick trip of the great steainer
Lusitania. Quick as the trip was
(only a few days) the passengers got
away with following immense quanti-
ty of provisions :---Fresh meats, 25,000
pounds ; salt meats, 4,000 pounds; fish,
4,873 pounds ; eggs, 3,383 dozen ; cof-
fee, 3,700 pounds ; tea, 1,150 pounds;
butter, 4,105 pounds ; oranges and
bananas, 0,440 ; grapes, 500 pounds ;
leptons, 1,000 pounds ; bread, 31,000
pounds; milk, 11,870 quarts; cream,
2,765 quarts.

—United States balloons made a
successful trip one thousand miles,
and the occupants landed safely on
Canadian soil. This probably will
improve the prospects of finally solv-
ing the aerial problem. If people can
travel one thousand miles -safely in a
balloon and have plenty of sandwiches
left when they land, those owning
automobiles (if they wish to be up-to-
date) should sell thein and buy a bal-
loon. They would then be balloona-
tics. When out driving, we shall
soon run terrible risks, between meet-
ing an automobile, or having a bal-
loon light on our buggy top, fall over
on the horse and cause a runaway.
—The treasurer of the fund organiz-
ed by the mayor of Quebec for the re-
lief of the widows and orphans of the
victims of the Quebec bridge disaster,
reported subscriptions to the amount
of $11,569. The report of the commit-
tee recommended as participant of the
fund eighteen widows, twenty-nine
orphan children, and eleven single
men, whose relatives were more or
less dependent upon them for support.
This is exclusive of twenty-four
widows and the relatives of seven
single men whose homes are at Caugh-
nawaga. In addition to the amount
already distributed, the committee de-
cided to allow, for the present, one
hundred and fifty dollars to each
widow, and the saine amount to
parents who have lost their sole sup-
port, twenty-five dollars to each
orphan child, and one hundred dollars
to the relatives of single men, the
same to be paid monthly, or in special
cases in one sum, if deemed advisable.
As the amount collected was deemed
sufficient, the subscription was closed.
**
benefit of the public,et there was
practically no Government super-
vision of the plans, The (iovernnient
furnished the money, but allowed the
Midge Company to make the con-
tracts, to settle the designs of the
bridge, to provide or not provide
proper superintendence to inspect or
not inspect the work of construction.
In fact the whole thing was left as if
the Government and the nation had
no interest in the matter.
—A. wealth of interesting informa-
tion concerning India is contained in
a statistical abstract just issued by
the British Government. Here are a
few figures which show the enormous
size' of this great dependency :—Area
in square miles, 1,773,103 ; towns,
2,143; villages, 723,605; population,
29.1,361,036; Perhaps the most aston-
ishing from the blue -book is that a
British -born population of under 100,-
000 maintains control over more than
a million square miles of British ter-
ritory and rules over 230,000,000 of the
native population. The native states
and agencies cover an area of another
675,000 square miles and contain just
over 55,000,000 persons. The langu-
ages spoken number 185. Of the total
population no fewer than 207,147, 026
are Hindus, Mahommedans number 62-
400,000, Christians number 2,032,241,
and among other religions are Sikh,
Jain, Buddhist, Parsee, Jewish, and
Animistic. Those of the Christian re-
ligion are split. up into fourteen deno-
minations, these including Anglican,
Armenian, Baptist, Congregationalist,
Greek, Lutheran, Methodist, Presby-
terian, Quaker, Roman Catholic,
Romo-Syrian (Jacobite and others,)
and Salvationist. Plague and wild
animals are the two deadliest foes of
the native Indian. In the last ten
years as many as 4,000,000 persons
have died of plague, while 251,000
have been killed by wild animals and
snakes in British India alone.

—The evidence of Theodore Cooper,
0.E., consulting engineer of the Que-
bec Bridge, brings home in startling
fashion to the Government a large
share of the responsibility for the
awful fatality of August 20th. Mr.
Cooper states that he does not believe
that the engineers at the work were
equal to the duties devolving upon
there, and says :—"I believe if a
prompt action had been taken to pro-
tect the chord from farther deflection,
it could have been done by the em-
ployment of three hours work and
$100 worth of timber and bolts."
Again Mr. Cooper says that the pre-
paration of the plans was too much
hurried and that the work of con-
struction was too much rushed to
admit of proper care. He also makes
the striking statement that in making
the plans he was given to understand
that the resources were limited, so
that it was not a question of the best
bridge possible, but of the best bridge
which could be made With a limited
amount of money available. This
brings us to the n - ent res p onsi-
i . Go er m
g �' p
bility. The Dominion. pf Canada was
paying for this bridge. Already the
Government has been made respon-
sible for $7,000,000, Which soon will be
raised to 00,000,000 or $10,000,000,
while the Company does not elalin to
have expended a quarter of a million.
The bridge is to be a great public
work, a common thoroughfare for all
railways, tramways and vehicles
crossing the St. Lawrence below
Montreal. Government is paying for
it, and intends to control it for the
CAUTION NECESSARY.
The shortage in agricultural pro-
ducts this year, reminds us of our de-
pendence upon the product of the
faun, and is likely to show itself in
more ways than one.
There is first of all, the rise of prices
and the greatly increased cost of liv-
ing. The latter bears especially hard
upon the wage-earner, and is serious
enough in itself, if there were no
other. But accompanying it is an-
other trouble, probably an indirect
result of the decrease of agricultural
products, and that is—less demand for
manufactured goods, that are really
not necessaries. The declining de-
mand affects the manufacturers, and
through them, the wage-earner, who
is thus twice hit, first by the increased
cost of living, and secondly by the
shorter hours rendered necessary by
the falling off in demand for manufac-
tured goods.
As instances of retrenchment, we
may note that several manufacturing
concerns are running on the "short
day". The Canadian Pacific has given
orders to stop all new work in its An-
gus shops in Montreal, in which 3,000
men were employed ; two big factories
in Guelph are to close for a week, and
a month respectively, while another
will reduce its working thne to eight
hours a day; the Kemp Manufactur-
ing Co. of Toronto has laid off 100 or
150 men ; from Brantford come re-
ports of a number of men being out of
work, and in two hours, in response
to a small advt., four hundred and
sixty men were enrolled as being
without employment in Toronto.
The Weekly Sun, in discussing the
situation, says :—Ono season of partial
crop failure should not be sufficient,
if other conditions are normal, to pro-
duce hard times. The chief danger
in the situation lies in the fact that so
many people in towns and cities have
not, in times of prosperity, been lay-
ing aside a surplus for a rainy day,
but have been spending their increas-
ing incomes in increased extrava-
gance. If many of .these find them-
selves out of employment they will
soon be without the funds needed for
the purchase of necessaries. The
coming year will, in any case, be a
critical one, but if wisdom is shown
even now it should pass over without
serious disaster, and the pinch which
will undoubtedly be felt may provide
the lesson that in a prolonged period
of easy -money is apt to be forgotten.
—An excellent work on the Fruits
of Ontario has just been issued by the
Ontario Department of Agriculture.
It deals with all the principal fruits
which interest Ontario Horticultnral-
ists and will prove of much interest to
growers. Not only will it 'help in the
selection of good varieties to plant,
but much information is furnished as
to the care and culture of orchards,
and detailed statistics of the extent of
the industry are given. It may
astonish many to learn that Ontario
orchards have no fewer than 14,039,156
trees, 10,373,806 of which are bearing,
producing 15,127, 790 bushels of fruit
valued at $1,863,345, and that 266,015
acres are devoted to orc119,rd culture,
There has been an increase of nearly
4,000,000 in the number of trees plant-
ed since 1901.
The Tremble Of Old Age.
With the advance of years the vital
functions of the body slow down. In
consequence the organs of secretion
suffer, the action of the bowels are
lessened and there is no longer
healthy circulation. The brain is con-
gested with blood, giddiness, tremb-
ling and cold extremities are common.
No assistance is so potent as Dr.
Hamilton's Pills. By their direct
action on the stomach, liver and kid-
neys they cause an immediate change.
Mild, free from gripe, .strengthening
and cleansing the whole system, no
medicine is so valuable in old age as
Dr. Hamilton's Pills of Mandrake &
Butternut. Try these Pills, 25c per

At the next session of the Ontario
legislature the government will likely
be asked to introduce a special act
permitting a vote .to again be taken
on local option in Teeswater, Both
parties in that. village have expressed
a willingness to have the matter dis-
posed of in that way.
Mr. Allan MacLean for many years
a merchant in Teeswater, and one of
the pioneers of Bruce county, but who
for the past fifteen years has been liv-
ing in Toronto, is lying critically ill at
the General Hospital at Toronto, as a
result of an operation for inward trou-
ble. Hopes are entertained for his re-
covery.
Mr. Wm. Caslick last week received
the sad news of the death of his sister,
Mrs. David Ambler, who passed away
on the 18th inst. Mr. and Mrs. Am-
bler went to North Dakota soon after
they were married, and have of late
been living near Wetaskawin, Al-
berta. Besides a husband, Mrs. Am-
bler leaves three sons and a daughter
to mourn her loss. This makes the
fourth death in the Caslick family
within eight months.

ENTLEMEN:—It gives me great pleasure to write you of the great
satisfaction which I am receiving from the use of your
"-Grown Huron" Range. I find it most economical on fuel,
and to keep a fire in continuously both night and day with
an even degree of Treat that is easily controlled for any
cooking. In my experience with the " Crown Huron," I
have been unable to find a fault with it, and can heartily
recommend it to anyone desiring a reliable Range.
Yours very truly,
