"M" -In the year ending 30th June last, the taxpayers of Canada contributed over a million dollars in the form of subsidies to owners of various steam- ship lines plying to and from Canadian ports. In the same year $2,224,000 was drawn from the same source to pay bounties to iron and steel manu- facturers and the owners of other favored industries. * 1, -Two years and a half have been spent in marking the boundary line between Persia and Afghanistan. The working force was under the control of Col. Arthur MacMahon and con- sisted of about 1,500 men. So many hardships were undergone during hot summers and cold winters through arid plains and fever -stricken swamps, that fifty members of the mission perished. -A country boy, named Louis Byrd of Indiana, has invented a new ex- plosive, which is twice as powerful as nitro -smokeless powder, and three tunes as powerful as ordinary blasting power, and, according to the boy, it can be manufactured much more cheaply than either. Two years ago a more peaceful invention, that of a drill to distribute onion seed, was de- vised by him. • R -Tho increase in the public expen- diture of Canada is enormous, the in- crease in revenue inconsiderable. The surplus apparently is imaginary. The debt increase is large and indisputable. It makes us a bit nervous, says the Ottawa Journal (Independent) to con- template the condition of the finances of the country when once the con- struction of the eastern division of the transcontinental railway is begun and the money eud of the project floated. * * -There will apparently be no diffi- culty in finding a ready market for the immense Canadian wheat crop. The director and the manager and the American representative of the Scot- tish Wholesale Co-operative Society are in the West at present looking for wheat. The mills of this society grind 72,000 bushels per week, and the total business done by the society Last year amounted to $33,000,000. Mr. Stuart, the manager, advises Manitoba wheat - growers to make every effort to keep up the supply of bast -class pure seed. 4* -"We have discovered this truth," says Prof. Dean, "when a cow reaches a certain production if you push her beyond that point the milk is pro- duced at more cost. Every 100 pounds of milk which a cow produces beyond her natural limit of production, costs from one to three dollars, hence our dairymen have to study more closely how they can feed their cows economi- cally in order to produce milk at a profit. It is not altogether the quan- tity of the yield which should receive attention but the net profit the cow turns into her owner's pocket in 12 months is of more importance." * * -Lady Henry Somerset is authority for the following bit of interesting and suggestive statistics : A certain Ger- man woman of loose habits had. dur- ing the course of about acentury, 834 descendants. A Bonn professor gave these descendants his analytic and statistical attention, with the follow- ing result : He found that 105 of them were born out of wedlock, 142 were beggars, 64 lived on charity, 76 were convicts, 7 were murderers, and 181 women among them lived disreputable lives. In the course of seventy-five years they cost the German authori- ties $1,250,000. -The annual alcohol bill for the whole commonwealth of Australia is credibly reported to amount to about £14,500,000, Against this only £7,250,- 000 was spent last year in bread, £3,- 750,000 in sugar, and £2,000,000 in tea and coffee. The drink bill for the sante period would cover the whole cost of the Commonwealth Govern- ment and would run all the railways in the six states and pay all expendi- ture on education, At the same time the judges in all the courts maintain that if excessive drinking could be abolished throughout Australia, the prisons would be more than half empty. .. -In Great Britain, according to the latest statistics, the wages of work- men have declined during the past four years £55,000,000, or, in round figures, $250,000,000. That is to say, in the year 1001, labor received that much less than it received. in the year 1000. This is said to be the result of 1+'ree Trade. Dr. McLeod, who was recently in Kincardine, has just re- turned from the old land; he rias al ways been averse to Protection,. yet be states that before many years, Pro- tection must of necessity be the policy of the old. land. He is of the opinion, that Chamberlain's policy is sure to prevail, -President Roosevelt continues to exercise that valuable possession often lacking in public men, -good common sense. The craze for sports in Ameri- can colleges has led to hiring of play- ers or inducing poor men, with the ability to excel in athletics, to go to college simply for the purpose of tak- ing part in inter -collegiate games. President Roosevelt is endeavoring to pnt an end to this practice by mutual agreement between the college au- thorities.. Ile thinks, and thinks rightly, that men trained for their life work under such conditions aro not likely to elevate the business and public morality of the nation. .*„ -The largest battleship now afloat displaces 10,000 tons and carries four. 12 -inch guns; a few years ago $5,000,- 000 was thought an enormous price to pay for a battleship. To -day Great Britain has in course of construction a ship which will displace 18,000 tons, carry twelve -inch guns, and will cost well on to $10,000,000-a sum equal to one-fourth the annual revenue of the Dominion Government from Customs taxation. So rapidly is the size and power of the armament of war vessels being increased that the Springfield Republican states that, in the opinion of experts,- the United States battle- ship Mississippi, launched this month, and built at a cost of $7,000,000, is :al- ready out-of-date. Where is the end to be? w * -The Weekly Sun, while giving Hon. Wm, Mulock full credit for his able discharge of the duties of the office of Postmaster -General, says : "Sir William's appointment violates a principle which, while in Opposition,. he had made peculiarly his own. While in Opposition he declared that no member of Parliament should be transferred from the halls of legisla- tion to a position of emolument in the gift of the Government of the day. He declared, and declared truly, that free and independent judgment -by Parliament on questions brought be- fore it by the Government was im- possible when the Ministry was in a position to promise judgeships, Lieu- tenant -Governorships or other offices to those members who would support everything proposed by the men in power. This principle, so strongly insisted upon prior to 1896, has been violated over and over again since then. Men have been appointed by the score direct from Parliament to positions controlled by the Govern- ment, which these anen supported while in Parliament. In all previous cases, however, the late Postmaster - General might plead that he was only one -of a Government and could not be held personally responsible. Such a plea is impossible in the present case. The violation of a sound princi- ple in this instance is his own personal act. Sir William might at least have spared us the spectacle of a final aban- donment of one of the chief planks in the platform on which the Govern- ment attained power." HARD LUCK TALES. Under this heading, the Kincardine Review gives the following bright paragraphs. They are certainly rich, and the political references so pointed, that the politicians described can easily be placed :- Once on a time there was a man working on a $7000 job who lost his health and had to give the job up and accept another at $10,000. Moral -Sickness is often a blessing in disguise. A poor millionaire existing on a meagre pittance of $7000 and $2500 indemnity, who, fearing the howling of the wolf at his door in his declining years, provided himself with a pension of $3500 a year from the coffers of his country so that he should not become a charge on the County Poor House. Moral -The poor we have always in our midst. A lawyer living in a city was offered a seat in the Government of his coun- try if he would get a seat in the coun- try itself. He tried it on Durham and offered the people two mouths for their Canawl, but the ungrateful rab- ble turned him down and he has been unhappy ever after. Moral -It doesn't pay to have too much mouth. A truly great man got mad once because of a graft that was going to a railway gang, so he quit his job Worth $7000 and became a railway commis- sioner at $10,000. Then he entered into a little scheme to do his late Pals but unfortunately they caught him at it. To -day he is employed as a hand in a ball-bearing factory. Moral -Invention is the mother of necessity. Once a, statesman in a country named Canada got himself mixed np in a, scandal, so he resigned his port- folio because he was on principle op- posed. to a Bill before the House, His party offered him a pension of $3,500 a year. So he supported the 13111 on principle. He was over five years slaving for his country at $7,000 a year and in that time he saved a million dollars out of his salary. He would still be earning that salary if he had not qualms of conscience or kinks in has morality. It is too bad the way things go, sonietimes. Moral --virtue is only s. small part of its own towieut, R„Ia ._ .ailla,a _ Walkerton. The House of Refuge has 61 men and 14 women inmates. The expenditures in the evangelistic campaign held here under Crossley and Hunter, totalled $1054,02, The evangelists received $707.27. After other expenses were paid there was a balance of $9,10 left. H. Jackson and Herman Bnrhlow broke into the brewery and stole half a barrel of beer, :bulge Kline sent Jackson to the penitentiary for two years, and let the other fellow go on suspended sentence. The 13i•uce General Hospital ac- knowledges with thanks a generous donation of $20 from Revs. Crossley and Hunter, evangelists, "as an ex- pression of their appreciation of the good work done by that institution." The evangelists are christian pliilan- thropists. At one of the meetings in Walkerton, Rev, Mr, Hunter stated. that he and Mr, Crossley had visited hospitals in different towns and cities from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and while they had. found larger institu- tions for the care of the sick and wounded, they never had seen one better equipped or more cleanly and perfectly maintained than the Bruce Hospital at Walkerton. The C. R R. surveyors when camp- ed near here a short time ago lived well and seemed to put in a fairly good time. They bought nothing but the best from the merchants. Before going away the boss of the gang went to the different people with whom they had accounts and got then to give a receipted bill for the amount due, saying the company required a receipt before they would pay. The boss turned in the accounts, collected the money, saying he had paid them from his own funds, and then he dis- appeared. People in Walkerton have been beaten out of about five hundred dollaars. When Mr. J. W. Leonard, Assistant Gen. Manager of the com- pany was here a few days ago he was interviewed by some of the anxious ones, and were informed that the last heard of the "boss" lie was in jail for doing the same thing in another locality.
