—Instead of matters growing better
in Russia, the condition of that un-
happy and strife -torn country is get-
ting worse. In a conflict between the
government troops and mutineers at
Sebastopol, half of the city was laid
in ruins, battleships were blown up,
and 5000 lives sacrificed. Mutiny, it
is said, has showed itself among the
Czar's body guards, his most trusted
troops.

—It is claimed that New Zealand is
one of the most prosperous parts of
the British empire, and that when the
roll of the nations is called for per
capita wealth, this distant dependency
of the British crown may answer first,
with $1,500 for each man, woman and
child. Then follow the inhabitants of
the British isles, with $1,400 ; those of
Australia,. with $1,80, and those of
France and the United States tied at
$1,300.
Practically all the valuable mine-
rals are found in Canada, Canada's
mineral production in 1904 reached 80
millions, Canada's mineral exports
reached 33i millions in 1904. Canada
has produced 200 millions in gold since
1882. One-half of this has come from
the Yukon since 1898. Canada pro-
duced in 1904, $18,400,000 in gold. The
Yukon produced 10 millions' worth of
gold in 1904. Canada ranks fourth
among the world's gold -producing
countries. British Columbia has pro-
duced nearly 100 millions in gold, all
told.

—A recent writersays : It is possi-
ble to go round the world touching
only on British territory all the way
—viz., from England to Halifax, N. S.,
across Canada to Vancouver, across
the Pacific to Hong Kong, thence to
Signapore, Penang, Mauritius, Cape
Town, St. Helena, and England, or
from Penang to Ceylon, Bombay,
Aden, Perim, Malta, Gibraltar and
home. Such a "sea connection" no
other nation in the world possesses.
In this calculation the oceans and seas
are counted common thoroughfares
of the .nations.

—When the Wireless telegraph
comes into general use, instead of
"telegram" it will probably be—"I re-
ceived an Aerogram." It is said that
by January 1, 1906, wireless telegra-
phy will be in operation. The Domin-
ion De Forest Wireless Telegraph Co.
are putting up a station at Toronto
Junction to co-operate with stations
at Quebec, Ottawa and Montreal.
New stations will be erected at Ham-
ilton and other points. In the United
States there are 140 stations, of which
125 are working. In Alaska, at Nome
and St. Michael's it cost $16,000 to es-
tablish stations, and the receipts for
the year were $780,000.

—An Ottawa despatch to the To-
ronto Star says that although the
matter has not yet been formally set-
tled by Council, there is a general un-
derstanding among the Ministers that
Parliament shall be called together
either the last of January or the first
of February, and that in view of this
fact it becomes increasingly apparent
it will be difficult to have the revised
tariff ready soon enough to warrant
its being laid before the House at its
approaching meeting. Force of cir-
cumstances may compel its postpone-
ment until the succeeding session,
which is scheduled to open in the last
of October or the first of November,
1906.
—The Canadian Sportsman points
out what it considers mistakes on the
part of those who deal in intoxicating
liquor, and says—"If those responsible
for the management of the Liquor
Dealers' association had been honest
guardians of the best and truest in-
terests of their trade they would have
insisted upon the expulsion of every
member who failed to strictly observe
the provisions of the liquor license
law under which he was working. In-
stead of this, they defend every mem-
ber, no hatter what his offence

how many times he was charged with
violating its provisions or how obnox-
ious his house became in the estima-

--�ln ingenious eystei i of resoling e,
hoot waren the existing solo is worn
out has been devised by a London in-
ventor, In this boot the outer sole is
attached to the inner sole by means
of brass screws inserted in a series of
eyelet holes round the welt. When
it is required to attach a new sole the
worn sole is simply unscrewed and the
new one substituted. In the case of
the lieel the screws are driven. into
holes in the under surface of the heel
so that not only da the screws fulfil
the function of attaching the new heel
but constitute efficient protectors as
well, The attachable soles and heels
are standardized in various sizes and
can be placed on the market ready for
instant attachment. The process of
soling and heeling a boot can be ac-
complished in five minutes. The idea
is especially applicable to soldiers'
boots where the foot covering is sub-
jected to constant and heavy wear.
The main advantage of the device is
that no time is lost clueing the repair
of the boot. The American military
department has ordered samples of
the new boot and proposes to subject
them to severe trial by men on active
service,

--When one considers the Legisla-
tive investigation now being made
into the business methods of certain
United States life insurance companies
having their headquarters in New
York city, it is comforting to recall
the fact that there is at least one
country on the globe where such a
state of affairs could not exist. In
far -away New Zealand the Govern-
ment conducts a life insurance de-
partment, which not only offers its
policies at a low premium, but has the
security of the state behind it as its
guarantee to investors. By open com-
petition with individual concerns it
prevents any ordinary combination
from keeping up excessive rates, and
there are no high salaried officials to
absorb the annual receipts. In Ameri-
ca an insurance of $5,000, which may
cost a person who has arrived at mid-
dle age $200 annually, in New Zealand
may be obtained for one-third that
expense. In America, Legislative in-
quiry has already thrown so much
light upon the complex and devious
management of the insurance busi-
ness that a distrust of the whole sys-
tem has become general. In New
Zealand, the entire responsibility is
borne by the Colonial Government.
There can never be any failure until
the country becomes bankrupt.

—Bystander (Prof. Goldwin Smith)
has this to say in the Weekly Sun
:—
The Turk hasnow been for five cen-
turies on the soil of civilization, since
the day when the last of the Emperors
fell fighting against him in the breach
at Constantinople. He remains a bar-
barian, unintellectual, unpolitical, un-
commercial, with a despotic Govern-
ment and a fatalist creed, blasting
with barrenness and depopulation re-
gions once the most fruitful and the
most populous in the world. For the
last half century, sad to say, the prin-
cipal prop of his tottering dominion
has been the influence of Great Bri-
tain inflamed with hatred of Russia
and trembling for the security of the
route to India. Cyprus is the fee. Ac-
ceptance of that fee and consignment
of Macedonia anew to the tyranny of
the Turk were what Disraeli called
"peace with honor." The Sultan blus-
ters, of course, but he has ground for
saying that he has Islarn behind him,
and Islam, though barbarous and
fatalist, fights ; fights perhaps all the
better because it is barbarous and
fatalist. The Mahometan element in
India, which numbers sixty-two mill-
ions, has always been regarded as dan-
gerous. Besides its religious fervor,
it was the last in power and broods
resentfully over its dethronement. If
it were to rise at the call of the Com-
mander of the Faithful, there would
be a crisis worse than the Mutiny.

OPPORTUNITIES IMPROVED.
The World's Magazine gives the fol-
lowing account of the life of Andrew
Carnegie, the great millionaire. It
shows what can be accomplished by
perseverance and the seizing of oppor-
tunities
Andrew Carnegie believes himself
fortunate in having been born of poor
parents. "I, fortunately, had to be-
gin work very young," he says, "in
order to earn an honest livelihood.
The question to me was what I could
get to do, not what I wanted to do.
"When I was twelve years old my
parents, who conducted a handloom
weaving place, were gradually ren-
dered poorer and poorer by the devel-
opment of the factory system. Cir-
cumstances finally became so poor
that they decided to come to America.
My father, mother, and young brother
and myself made up the ssad family
that arrived at Allegheny City,
"My father immediately secured a
place in a cotton factory anti, as I saw
the many things we needed at home
and which the small salary he earned
failed to provide, I determined to do
what little I could to help. I went to
the same factory and told a man I
wanted to work. I was only twelve,
and I don't suppose I could have made
much of an impression, but he finally
saw how badly I did want to go to
work and he gave mea position as
"bobbin boy"; the salary, $1.20, looked
bigger to the than any money I ever
earned afterward, and the clay I re-
ceived my first wages will always be
the proudest and happiest of my life.

A MODEL HQTEL•KEIPI;R.
(Kincardine Review)
Thomas Jennings of Kincardine,
who died. Nov..21, was a man of strong
principles and of rare courage. It has
been frequently said of him that if all
hotel -keepers were like him there
would be but little objection to the
license system, and no demand for
local option or general prohibition.
Re carne here in 1891, front Listowel
with but little money ; rented the
Royal Hotel, which at that time was
bankrupt and closed, and proceeded to
build up a business for himself. Not
many hotel -keepers go about it in the
same way however. He paid little at-
tention to the bar, regarding it as a
"necessary evil" of the hotel trade.
He allowed no noise in his house ;
would make no man drunk nor give
a drunken man liquor ; would even
refuse a man liquor- who are thought
could not afford to bay it, "Your
family needs that more than I do" he
said to one man who put up the
money to treat a few friends. He
shoved the money back, and refused
to give the liquor. The mean went
away angry saying lie could get it
elsewhere, but Mr. Jennings had
heard that so often, that it carried no
dismay to him. It was true enough,
that men refused by him could get it
elsewhere, but Mr. Jennings did not
covet the money thus lost. There are
scores of liquor -dealers who would
obey the law religiously, if they knew
that all the others in the place were
doing the same, but they argue "Well
if I don't give it to this man, some one
else will, and I might just as well
have the money." That argument
never was used by Thos. Jennings.
On the contrary he would say: "If I
don't give it to him, some one else
will, but I have the satisfaction of
knowing that I did not give it to
him." And what was the result of
such a policy 1' This—in a few years he
owned the Royal Hotel and gave it a
reputation all over Western Ontario.
If you ask travellers, the most order-
ly and best kept hotel in Western On-
tario, they will tell you, "the Royal
Hotel, Kincardine." Last winter
when Mr. Jennings first took sick, the
travellers who always stayed at his
hotel presented him with a gold -head-
ed cane and a complimentary ad-
dress.
Although in the hotel business 88
years, Mr. Jennings was never fined
for infraction of the License Act.
