Will the Provinoia Government re- store the Model schools? That question is being asked members of the local House by their constituents, and it is rumored th'►t svioh will be the case. Ina recent speech by Mr. T. W. McGarry, M. P. P. for South Renfrew, he hinted that the Government was not tie to any par- ticnle.r policy, bat that if the present system was wrong it would b3 changed. The placing of hogs on the free list ender the new tariff agreement will be a decided benefit to the farmers, and it is probable that during the oomiag year a great de tl more attention will be de• voted to hog -raising. Under the old agreement a duty or $1 50 was placed on each animal entering rhe American markete from Oanada. Even with this, some of the shippers in this country have been sending large consignments to the Buffalo and Cnicago markets. I' is a common saying that Canada in recent years bas acquired depth as well as breadth. Anyone who looks at a map of British Columbia, Alberta and Saekatohewan, will perceive the field that Fee open for communication north and south. The development of North- ern Oatario points the same moral. The climatic variations of the continent in- dicate the growth of an important trade between Oanada and the Uuited States and Mexico. To say that the trade moat follow parallels of latitude instead of meridane is to lay down an arbitrary rule that will not stand the test of actual oondition.-Toronto Star. . A. G Ferguson, Manager of the Dom• inion Bank at Hanley, Sask., shot him- self dead. Albert Smith of London township who bad been given up as dead by his family returned unexpectedly the other day. While sitting in his brother's house he dropped dead. The body of Dolphus Dronilliard, a farmer, missing for about two months was toned in the river near Sanawioh. It is supposed he was robbed and mute dered CHILDREN In disorders and dis- eases of children drugs seldom do good and often do harm. Careful feeding and bathing are the babies' remedies. Scott's Emulsion is the food -medicine that not only nourishes them most, but also regulates their digestion. It is a wonderful tonic for chil- dren of all ages.
