NOTES AND COMMENTS.
In view of the startliug fact that in a
Bingle yeas 1,634 Lindon ohildren have
died in consequence of injuries received
from open fireplaces, an effort is being
made to have a law enacted to punish
parents who leave children auguarded.in
rooms that leave such fireplaces.
A native of India made the first need-
les in England in 1545, but the art was
lost at Ins death and not recovered until
1560 by Christopher Greening, who was
largely patroniz ra and established an
industry iu Buckinghamshire which
lasted until the mittens of the nineteenth
century.
It is rep:frteri tit Winuipeg that a spec-
ial ssssiuu of the Manitoba Legislature
will he summoned at ouce, at which
legislation will be passed repealing the
Manitoba schools settlement of 1897
effected by Premier Lamer and Messrs.
Siftou and Greenway, and declaring for
purely national aehools.
A. report issued by the Bureau of
Mines allows time the mineral production
of the Province fur 1004 reached au ag-
gregate value of $11,737,647. Of this,
the metallic prodactiou was valued at
55,071,677, and the uon-metallic at $6,-
665,970 The industries coucerne,i em-
ployed 10,251 men and paid in wages
$3,838,383.
The long traiu of tramps and pedlars
will soon once again be moving over the
country. A movement is ou foot iu
Grey county to try and persuade the
county council to increase the license
fee of foreign pedlars to $125 for peck
travellers and $225 for one horse vehicles
and thus ant off this abominable custom
altogether. These people are a unisance
both to the public and business men, as
they try to force the people to buy their
geode and where women aro alone in the
house they are sometimes forced through
fear to buy from them.
According to Bradetreet's report issued
last week, the total number of business
failures in Canada and Newfoundland
for the first quarter of 1905 was 378, in-
volving $3,636,584 in liabilities, and $1,-
597,397 in assets. This is an increase
in unmber of 22 per cent. over thu came
period of 1904, and an increase in liabili-
ties of 37 per cent. Divided by Prov-
inces and territories the failures in 1905
were: Ontario, 140; Qnebec, 137; New
Brunswick, 19; Nova Scotia, 18; Prince
Edward Island, 4; Manitoba, 29; North-
West Territories, 14; British Columbia,
17; Yukon, 0; Newfoundland. 0.
A judge at Ottawa has decided that a
member of a fraternal society is respon-
sible for dues and assessments accrued
or levied during his suspension, which
was the result of his failing to meet the
calls made upon him, because he intend-
ed to resign and verbally said so. The
members of fraternal societies are a
numerous body in the community and
probably many do not nuderetand the
responsibilities of their position. As
this Ottawa decision puts it, they are
liable to their fellows for everything
that may be levied upon them until
their names are formally removed from
the roil. Tbey woald do well toremem-
ber the point.
The only civilized or aeon -civilized
powers in the world without a national

MANUFACTURING A
When in opposition, Hon. Mr. Mathes-
on, the new Proviliciat Treasurer, could
always demonstrate to hie own satisfac•
tiou, if not to that of nay one else, that
Ontario never had a surplus. He would
do this by juggling with the figures. ,
Since be has entered office, he has evi-
dently made up his mind that he will
stick to this decision, and he reports
that on the transactions of last year, the
Province has a deficit.. This he does by
refusiug to include in ordinary receipts
the amount, :$1,664,258, received as a
bonus iu the timber sale last year. He
labels this money "capital account."
Whether it is regarded as capital or rev•
enue is a matter of no great importance,
and the Provincial Treasurer is wel^owe
to any satisfactiou he may derive from
manufacturing a deficit in this way in
the hope of throwiug some discredit on
the late Government. The fact is that
the administration of the Province on
the fivauoial aide has been well nigh ir•
reproachable, and even the Mail admit-
ted this. The merchant who buys a
great stock of goods at a favourable
price for cash does not think the
mouey paid for it is 'dust." But Mr.
Matheson charges up to the Province as
a liability nearly six millions for a rail-
way, which he admits is a good invest•
meat, refuses to include the road built
ainong the assets and then adding up the
two sides of the account ,gravely asks
the people to accept the statement that ,
we have a deficit —Clinton New Era.
WELL ENOUGH AS IT iS.
Manchester Guardian.
There is calm sense in Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's reply to the nervous people
who cry out for '•binding the Empire
together" by some mechanism not now
in use. "The relations of the Empire,"
he said in the Dominion House of Com-
mons, "in all its parts were satisfactory
to -day, and, so long as there was con-
tentment in every part of the Empire.
he, (the Premier) was sure that all ef-
forts to change these relations would be
futile." Protectionists are fond of say.
lug, "Well, if you are not going to
establish preferential duties, what are
you going to do?" like the bibulous
character in Mr. Pinero's play who said
to the family solicitor, "Well, if yon
don't take a little whiskey and water
after the labors of the day, when do you
take a little whiskey and water?" In
the way of providing showy mechanical
devices for averting imagivary disaster,
free-traders are going to do precisely no-
thiug. They do not believe Mr. Cham-
berlain when he predicts that the colon-
ies will desert us iu a pet manner unless
we tax bread. They believe, with Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, that the disease which
Mr. Chamberlain diagnoses does not ex-
ist. And, believing this, it is quite use-
less for protectionists to say to them,
"Well, if you reject Mr. Chamberlain's
cure for the malady, what remedy do
you propose instead?" Free-traders
intend to give neither Mr. Chamberlain's
pills nor any others to au Empire which
is not sick.
SAVINGS BANKS.
In tbe savings banks of Canada there
are 213,633 depositors, who have to
their credit $60,771,126. That is a most
satisfactory showing, for it indicates a
widespread habit of thrift among our
people. Over sixty millions and three-
quarters of dollars is a great sum of
money to be banked by the population
of Canada hi savings banks. For it
must be remembered that these inetitu-
tious take charge, as a rule, of only com-
paratively small sums—the savings of
wage-earners and people who possess
little of this world's goods. Hence the
average deposit is $289 14, and the per
capita deposit in ratio of population
$10.09. Our avetage deposit is the se-
cond highest in the world, the United
States coming first with au average of
$418.89. But our per capita is by no
means the highest. Denmark leads
with a per capita of $96 41, a splendid
showing, and Switzerland makes a good
second with $92.26. The United States
has $36 38. We are glad that our sav-
ings amount to so much, but we wish a
greater proportion of our people were
saving. They have every facility
through the Post Office Savings Banks
and putting aside for the rainy day of
need and the sunny day of opportunity
is of the very essence of thrift.

The Owen Sound Advocate thus re.

at a Fruit Growers' meeting there last
week:--" Mr. A. E. Sherrington of
Walkerton, addressed the meeting on
the cultivation of and Spraying and
pruning of the orchard. Ho main-
tained that all must be properly done or
i success would not attend the growing of

discussion and was doubtless the most

Reil, who should have been hanged long
ago, has opened the ball and, judging
from the guests who have gone from To-
ronto and elsewhere to participate in it,
he may have to daneo to a lively tune
before long. It would give much satis-
faction in moat quarters ifghe were de-
barred from having anything to dance
on and his terpsichorean exercises were
to take place in mid air. It is to be
devoutly hoped that wheu Riel gets
coruered this time there will be no secret
service mouey sent to him to save his
carcase. The present rebeliian should
be the last that Mr. Riel is permitted
to excite, and it probably will.—Toronto

A little bit of snow,
A little bit of bummer,
Then wintry winds that blow,
And thus the changing sesons
In swift procession go.

A liitle bit of rain,
A little bit of sowing,

A little bit of harvest
Of loss add dross and gain.

NATURE STUDY.
A Taik Before a New Jersey Society
of Practical Horticulturists.
By LOUISA E. MILLIEIR, Ohio.
Professor John Ilamilton invited me
to address the Pennsylvania state
board of agriculture and employed me
to make out a course of nature study_
It included a great many things, em-
bracing insects, forests„ soils and a
great deal of experimental work, hop-
ing this subject would enter the pub-
lic schools, but they say the teachers
are not prepared for it themselves.
Now, what does that mean? It sim-
ply means the school authorities are
not prepared to take up this nature
study work, and it is a matter that
Should be taken into consideration.
Three or four years ago President
Snyder of the State Agricultural col-
lege of Michigan invited me to come to
the farmers' institute, and he said,
"Miss Miller, come and try to interest
the children in country life." And 1:
went there and said, "What shall we
talk about?" hero were 500 farmers
and about 24 children. I talked about
corn. The farmers became limp at
once. They said the idea of a woman
coming from the town and talking on
corn! I knew they were disgusted, but
I began to tall( to them about the ger-
mination and cross pollenizations, the
history of the cutworm and of the
sniut, and the first thing one farmer
straightened up and then one after an-
other in other directions, and the chil-
dren became interested, and I thlnk if
the children were taught these things
that are right around them they would
not want to take up their residence in
the city, but would stay where they
are id the country'. There is nothing
more effectual in the mental, moral
and spiritual developueent of children
than this subject.
Ile Hits the Nail on the Head.
A New Jersey Fruit Grower.—There
is much talk in the rural districts con-
cerning agricultural teachings in rural
schools. I know ns a fact that the city
schools are educating their scholars
better in -rural affairs than the country
districts. Nature study is taught, zo-
ology is taught, and the plant life is a
part of the course. Each scholar has%
to germinate seeds in saucers of water,
sketcb their appearance, carry them to
the school laboratory and examine
them under the microscope; then at the
final examination for graduatiou they
have to pass a written examination in
zoology and plant life. The commer-
cial men in cities demand that these
be taught. The residents of the rural
districts talk too much and do nothing
toward having nature study in their
schools. Rural school trustees talk too
much. What they should do is make it
a part of the course, and if the people
really desire they have a remedy, which
is to elect no one a school trustee who,
will not establish it.
A RABBIT TRAP.
A Simple Modification of the Old
Time Box and Figure Four Device.
A rabbit trap which is represented in
American Agriculturist is made of a
box two and a half feet long and two
feet wide. The platform (P) on which
the trap is set should be about a foot
longer and a foot wider than the box.
A A —.'WIRE
A SIMPLE BABI3IT TRAP.
The two pieces (A A) are each five
Indies long and an inch square. The
bait and wire to which the bait is fas-
tened should be very light, so that a
slight touch on the bait will cause the
trap to fall. This trap is very simple,
and the illustration shows everything
so plainly that it requires no further
explanation.
Cheaper Food For Hoge.
The price of corn is a little high,
and many farmers who have a good
bunch of hogs on hand are doing some
hard thinking and close figuring. Those
who have kept their hogs yarded all
summer and have fed them a good
deal of corn are thinking they are go-
ing to come out at the little end of the
horn. Those who have raised their
hogs on clover pasture are feeling bet-
ter
and can see some profit in finishing
them up in the best manner even with
corn close around 50 cents. The only
man I know who can see any profit
in his ,yard raised pigs Is one wvho has
been feeding them rape and sweet corn
all summer, and he counted the cutting
and drawing of the feed merely one of
his chores. It Is gradually being forc-
ed into the mind of the farmer who
farms at random that the only way to
make hog raising profitable is to car-
ry them through the summer on green
food largely' and that the cheapest and
best green food is elover.—lered Grun-
dy in Farm and Fireside,
