HUILDING THE RAILWAY.
A tory of npeigu piper says the farm•
era of Out•ario aud Quebec will derive no
benefit worth speaktug of from the con -
emotion of the Grand Trunk Pacific
through the vase back conutry of those
proviueeP, that the work will not be
worth to them as much as "the diggiug
of a municipal drain." Let ns get down
to the facts. The road between Monc-
ton and Wiuuipeg, 1874 reties long, will
traverse a wooded region iuterseoted by
numerous streams and rivers. The cost
ot grading alone will probably reach
in moat parts $22,000 per mile, An
engineer of high etteudiug estimates that
on a 80 -anile stretch through average
country it would be necessary in order
to complete the grading within one year
to employ the following force;
Foremen .. 25
Navies 200
Teams 55
Locomotives 4
Steam ehuvels .... 4
It is not easy to calculate the -quan-
tities of rood and other material that
would be consumed. Much depends on
the distance from the base of operations
and on the nature of the country to be
traversed. The following figures for
timber are believed to be approximately
accurate:- •

The financial results a000mpliehed are
exceedingly satisfactory. In 1885 there
was a (Whit of nearly $800,000. There

liam had bateau* office two years, the

Kingdom was reduced from. five to two
cents per half -ounce. The year after,
the domestic rate on letters in Canada
was reduced from three to two wilts, as
also the rate between Canada end the
United States. •
Naturally, the revenue fell in conse-
quence but it recovered by 190a when
there was a small serene on the year's
operatiops. In 1903 the surplus had
risen to $300,000, although in addition
to the reduction of rates he had all aloe).;
been paying for the Ytikon service,
which was not is existence when he
entered office. For the fiscal year ending
June 3Q, 1904, there gwill doubtless be
another surplus of konsiderable size.
The Post Office for the first time in its
history, is now a self-sustaining depart -
meat and something better.
It is contended by the Tories, who do
not like to admit what is now notorious,
that by comparison they made a poor fist
of Post Office affairs, that the reduction
iuthe rates of postage is not a gaip to
the farmer and mechanic but Duly to
corporations and merchants who pur-
chase Iarge quantities of stamps in the
course of their business. As a matter of
fact, the cost of the Post Office Depart-
ment is now paid by those who make
use of it, and by such people only. Bat
wheu there were deficits ranging from
$050,000 to $800.000 aa happened under
the Tories, these had to be made good by
extra taxes on the whole people. Under
the present order of things we have, first,
lower postage rates, and secondly, a sur-
plus that goes to reduce the burdens of
the taxpayers at large. it is obvious,
then, that everybody is profiting by Sir
William's capable management and that
of his highly competent deputy, Dr.
Coulter.
Ties (including siding, at 3005 per
mile) 90,000
Culvert timber 90,000 lin. ft.
Bridge timber 2 400,000 ft. b.m.
This is for the stretch of 30 miles.
The timber and ties will, of course, be
procured from points adjacent to the
line of railway and the work will furnish
employment for a considerable number
of men not included in the 200 navvies.
The rails,bolts, etc., will be supplied
from Cauadiau mils, each mile requir-
ing about 120 tons of rails, or 3,600 tons
for the 30 miles. Wages may be put
downat $L75 per day for each navvy
with something extra for foreman.
Teams will probably be paid $3 each per
day. The cost of feeding men and
horses is another heavy item. Perhaps
per week would be the minimum cost
of boarding each man and the same for
feeding each team. The farmers in the
neighborhood will supply the oats, hay,
potatoes, mixed vegetables, fresh beef,
pork, butter, etc., while lose in the
older parts wiil raise the p uce trans-
formed into canned stuff of various
kinds. The aggregate amount paid for
these articles for each 30 miles will not
fall far short of $85,000. The powder
and other incidentals will also come to
something, while the manufacture of
the shovels, picks and other tools will
give employment to a good many Cana-
dian mechanics. In addition to all this,
there will be the clothing for the men,to-
gether with tobacco and other sundries,
waggons and harness for the horses and
what not.
As there will be over sixty 30 -mile
sections between Quebec and Winnipeg
the reader will see that it would take a
huge number of municipal drains to do
as mach for the farmer and mannfaturer
as the G. T. P. will do.
11•4E P. O. DEPARTMENT.
It is significant that the Tories say
very little about the post Office Depart-
ment. Their insight tells them that
it is a department which now enjoys
public confidence in a remarkable de-
gree in consequence of the splendid re -
forme brought about by Sir William

Trade Comparisons.
Here are souse facts in brief that are
worthy of cuusiderariou;-
ala 18110, under Conservative rule, our
total trade amounted to $730,000 per
working day.
In 1903. under Liberal rule, it amount.
ed to $1,500,000 each working day.
in 1896 the report of manufactured
goods was $9,305,000.
In 1908 it was $20,624,000.
The exports of domestic produce last
year aunouuted to $214 000,000, or nearly
double those of 1896.
"I thank Provide that He has
made via his instrnme give these fa.
vors to the people. B I ask especially
those Conservatives w o may be here if
the fact that Providence is with us is any
reason why the people should be against
us?"
"This policy of amity, of conciliation,
I put into practice as soon as I had in
my hands the destinies of the country.
If the country is prosperous to -day it is
due to the adoption of this policy."
"When we reformed the tariff in 1897
it was done after a preliminery investiga-
tion, and it is the intention! of the Gov-
ernment to have another investigation
to find what are the needs of the coun-
try, and to prepare legislation in accor-
dance therewith."
"I introduced the preference policy,
and Tam ready to defend it; you have
already secured the profits of it. We
gave the British preference because we
want British trade. Great Britain is our
best market."
"Are yon going to continue that pol-
icy? On that point the answer is easy.
Rhos beencountry

years. It was given, not in Ottawa, or
in Canada, bat in the heart of. the Em-
pire at London; at the Colonial Confer-
ence, when I declared to the Empire that
I aad my colleagues of the Government
were ready to make a trade treaty."
"These thousands of settlers (in the
Northwest), must have all the supplies
of modern civilization as well as the ma-
terials for their work. Who is to supply
all this? We natdrally wish that it
should be the manufacturers of Canada,
and not the manufacturers of the United
1 States. We want them to buy their
supplies here, to ship their products out
through our country, and get their sup-
plies in the same way.":
FISH PLANTING. '
The Ontario Government, iu conjunc-
tion with the Grand Trunk Railway. in •
Rugurateil a vigorous policy of restocking
with fish many of the lakes in northern
Ontario, where there wes any chauce of
depletion, aud the success which has at-
tended their efforts has been marked.
Daring the summer season this year uo
less than 5,805 parent bass were captured
aud transported from Lake Erie to the
several districts that are visited by the
augler and summer tourist. A special
fish car was built by the Grand Trunk
three years ago expressly for the trans-
portation of live fish for this purpose aud
it has been used each summer in the pro-
pagation of this good work. This year
three oar loads of bass, none less than 12
inches in length, aud many weigbiug
two and three ponuds, were planted in
the Muskoka lakes, two carloads in
Lakes Simcoe and Couchiohiug, one car-
load in the in the Lake of Bays region,
one carload in Balsam Lake (one of the
Kawartha group in Victoria county),
and a carload in the lakes along the Can-
ada Atlantic Railway in Algonquin
Park. These carloads contained in each
iuetance,;from 5Q0Io 700 fish, In addi-
tion to the planting of the parent fish, a
carload of 5,000 black base • fingerlings
was placed in the Lake of Bays region.
The results of each shipment have been
most gratifying, and the summer tourist
and angler have appreciated the move-
ment and look forward to better sport
in these waters in the future. Address

All the nickle produced in Canada in
1903 was exported to the United States,
valued at $878,150.
Daring the year ended Sept. 80, 1902.
12,177 males and 1,147 females were con-
victed for drunkenness by police magis-

MUSIC IN COURT.
Occasions When • Melody Decided
Questions at Law.
On one occasion all who were pres-
ent in the courto of justice at Berlin
had the great pleasure of listening to a
free performance by Professor Joachim,
the famous violinist, It appeared from
the evidence that a dealer in musical
instruments was charged with cheat-
ing
heating a customer by representing that a
violin which he offered for sale at
$1.25 was an instrument that could be
played. The great professor was call-
ed in as an expert witness, and, taking
up the impugned instrument, he pro-
ceeded to play upon it. Under his
magic fingers it .really sounded like a
violin, but in a few moments, much to
the regret of his listeners, the maestro
laid the instrument down with en evi-
dent air of contempt. But he had se-
cured the accused's acquittal.
The great tenor Mario once had to
give a free exhibition of his magnifi-
cent vocal power in court in order to
gain freedom for himself. He had
been arrested in efedrid In mistake for
a mischievous politidal agitator and in
vain proclaimed his identity to the
powers that be. Finally he was told
that if he really was the famous sing-
er his voice was a certain means of
convincing the court of the truth of
his claim. For seven or eight min-
utes Mario held all within hearing
spellbound, and he was then allowed
to take his departure, with profuse
apologies for his arrest and detention.

Straw For Hats a Century Axe.
In the early part of atm last century
there were fewer factories in this coun-
try than now, and many • things were
made by hand which today are the
work of machinery. This was especial-
ly true of the braid tier straw hats.
Rye straw was commonly used, al-
though wheat was also in demand. But
the rye straw had longer stems and
was more easily handled.
In driving along the country roads, in
Massachusetts particularly,' late in the
summer one would see great bundles
fn the fences to
of the straw banging on
dry. When the sun and wind had
done their share of the work. it was
placed in casks where sulphur was
burning until it was bleached to a pale
yellow. Then it was split into narrow
widths suitable for braiding. -St. Nich-

Enormous Sloe.
A, queer Ash is the swordfish. It Sit
found in the tropical and subtropical
zones of both the eastern and western
hemispheres. Some of the'tropical spe-
cies ere of enormous elan and measure
from twelve to fifteen feet in length.
with swords at least three feet long.
The sword Is ntuch.the shape of a cone
somewhat flattened, the end sharply,,
,;pointed. It is smooth on the top and
sides, but the under pert is rough. It
is really an elongation of the 'bones of
the upper jaw and is possessed of very
great strength, for with these weapon*
they have been known to pierce the
copper sheathing of vessels andheaver.
plates and timbers; but, although they
can drive the swprd far into these sub-
stances, they cannot draw them out, so
break them off and swim away with-
out tliem.
A large fin extends nearly the length
of the back of the creature, whtch is
folded back when the fish is swim-
ming in order that its progress may not
be impeded if speed is desired, but
when quietly swimming it is often
erected and acts as a sail to carry it
'through the water. The swordfish is
very aggressive in its disposition and
will of telt assall Ash much larger than
itself, Even the whale is not exempt
from its attacks. The food ofthe
swordfish consists of smaller fish,
which it kills by stabbing them with
its sword. There is quite a large busi-
ness done in swordfishing, as the flesh
is used for food. The . larger species
are caught by harpooning, the smaller
in nets.

WROTE AN AWFUL HAND.
David Dudley Field Was Even Worse
Than Horace Greeley.
No compositor could set David Dud-
ley Field's "copy." They tried it in -
several large law printing offices is
New York ci, but invariably Mr.
Field's mann rapt 'was returned to
him for interpretation. His chirogra-
phy was something wretched. Com-
pared with it, Horace Greeley's screeds
were copperplate. In the line of un-
intelligible "curlycues" the great jurist
could give the great editor "cards and
spades."
Mr. Field never wrote at a desk.
while in ,his office, He had a green
baize covered little slab screwed to the
arm of his revolving chair, and on this
he would write for hours at a time.
He turned out "copy" quickly, but
days often elapsed before his writings
could be put in the hands of the print-
er.
rinter. They had to be copied, and all
hands in the office took turn* at help-
ing to decipher them. Often copies of
Mr. Field's briefs had to be returned
to him with spaces left for words, and
sometimes whole sentences, to be tilled
in by himself. Then he would- wax
wroth and declare his writing was as
plain as day.
Especially when working on hit hob-
by, codification, Mr. Field's ideas came
too fast - tor legible transmission to pa-
per, and the- result was a chaotic ap-
pearing mass of characters most be-
wildering to the unfortunate copyist.
Tricky Noss.
Some of the most dangerous tricks of
animals are those of simulating kind-
ness. Charles Montague in "Tales ot
a Nomad" says that hyenas often fol-
low lions and finish a carcass the mo-
ment the lions have left it Sometimes,
however, the hyenas are too eager and
steal bits of meat while the lions are
still at their meal.
"I have been told that the lion rids
himself of the nuisance in the follow-
ing way: He the,
a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way the hyena dodges in and
rushbs off with the meat. Presently;
the lion throws another piece of meat.
this time a little nearer. The hyena
takes that also. At last the lion throws
a piece very near indeed. The hyena.
having become •reckless, makes a dash
at this also, but the lion wheels round
and lays' him low with a pat of hie
paw and a growl of annoyance."
