NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The MOutreel Star is rapidly shedding
its coat of independence preparatory to
the general elections. During that
period it will. its usual, be the most un-
ecrupulous of Tory orgaus. It made a
beginning the other day in inventing
an interview with Hou. J. R. Stratton
in room 42 in the Windsor hotel. Mr.
Stratton was not in room 42 and
never had a moment's conversation with
;reporter while visitiug Montreal.
When the calendar year closes it is
likely,: that Canada will have gained over
•" -130,000 arrivals, or about 50,000 more
than the year previous. Of this number
more than one-fourth were tarnishers,
The Deputy Minister of the luterior,
Mr. James A. Stuart, will probably visit
the Western Statesbefore starting for
Europe. Efforts to obtain settlers are to
be redoubled in the adjoining republic
as well as ou the other side of the Atlan-
tic.
All previous records were broken by
the sales of timber limits held in the
Legislative chamber at the Toronto Par-
liament buildings on Dec. 9th, The 826
square miles of limits sold at $3,677,337.-
50, the average price per mile being
$4,450. The largest amount realized at
aprevions sale was $2,315,000 on Oct. 13,
1892, when 633 miles were sold at au
average price of $3,657.18. The record
for highest price per mile was made yes-
terday, when T. Mackie, M.P., secured
berth No. 5, Hammell township, in the
Nipissiug district, three and one-quarter
miles, at the rate of $31,500 per mile,
The highest previous price per mile was
$17,500 bid at the 1892 sale. The total
receipts from the sale will not represent
the total return to the Province, for the
increase in dues and ground rents will be
a source of additioual revenue.

use and, under the revised jail rules, two
suits of uniform for the jailer and turn-
key. Mr. Griffin urged the putting iu a
hot water system of heating at the jail,

Ontario Anatony Act, where in it is dir-
ected that after the death of bodies of all
inmates of the houses of refuge in this

depressing effect with the inmates of

tee.

World's Improvement.
.(Chicago Record -Herald.)
The world is getting better •
Who can doubt it for a minute?
Every day and every hour
We can find some comforts in it.
Our fathers used to shiver
Through the blinding drifts of snow:
Now we ride along iu sit *seers
Catching microbes as we go.
Your hapless old grandfather
Shivered while lie built the fire!
Now you keep the furuaoe going
And kick quilts off and perspire.
When the howling, angry blizzard
Comes a•ripping from the west
Mamma telephones the grocer
And he kindly does the rest.
We need not carry water
From the distant well at preseut
But we turn the faucet, getting
Squads of germs and lookiug pleasant.
Little Willie doesn't huddle
By a red hot stove in school
Getting toasted upon one cheek
While he lets the other cool.
Ob, the world improves no matter
What the sad eyed croakers claim.
But I'd like to spend the winter
Where it's warmer, just the same.
Veterans' Lands.
There is a possibility that some of
the. veterans of 1866' who have applied
for locations in the Townships of Har-
dy and Patterson. *and whose griev-
ance was ventilated Tuesday at Tor -
auto, may be able to secure their lots
by spring. The Commissioner of
Crown Lands is having an examine,
tion made, and th4e locations on
which the timber has been cut, and
which are ready for settlement, will
be handed aver to the applicants. The
Government cannot 'force the lumber
licensees on the other locations to cut
the timber, "because under the terms
of the sale in 1881, the pine was pur-
chased outright, with no restrictions
as to ;the paries! in; which it could be
cut, and. the dues have been, kept up
from year to year. It will be a mat-
ter of luck. The few fortunate en-
ough' to have secured locations Will
get their land. The others will have
to make selections elsewhere.
Reserve Force
The healthy body has a certain amount
of strength reserved in case of emergen-
cy. attack by disease or unusual physical
exhaustion, without this power of resis-
tance a person is an easy prey to every
ill that comes along. By enriching the
blood and creating new nerve cells, Dr.
Chase's Nerve Food keeps the health at
high.water mark and fills the body with
the vigor and vitality that overcomes
and defies disease.

is natural for tho colonists to think

the colonists deliberate purpose to
