The bye election for Strathcona, Basle., last week for the House of Coin, mons, resulted in a aweeptng indoraa- tion of tho Liberal Government, Dr. aeCoIntyre being elected by a large majority. It is said that Mr. Craig, the Opposition candidate will lose hie deposit. Cold comfort was extended to the hotelkeepers of the Province of Ontario by Premier Whitney and Hon Mr, Hating, Provincial Secretary, when they replied to a delegation of the Ontario License -holders' Association, which ask- ed for some changes in the proposed new liquor act. The delegation were practi (sally told that the Governmeut proposed to stand by the act, and a regneet to ex• tend the hours of selling met with an emphatic refusal. A big deputation of the country post- masters were in Ottawa last week and waited on the Government and asked for a revision of the schedule of wages, allowances and rentals. Some postniaet- ers who get a salary of $25 a year want an increase to $50. It would be more in kee ging with the times if the postmaet- ers were granted as increase in pay. Wages in all branches of trade have been increased in the past few years, and why not the postmasters. Repeal the indemnity bill of last year, making the members allowance $2500 and part of the saving wanted help wonderfully in giving the postmaeters alarger salary. The Dominion Government'sfunaneiat statement for the nine months ended March 31, justifies a feeling of optimism. It discloses surplus ordinary receipts ov- er ordinary expenditure of $15,209,182, deducting from the former $9,146,337 capital expenditure, it still leaves a bal- ance of $6,163,225 on the right side. Of the five different classes of revenne in the statement, each shows substantial gain, compared with the same period. of the previous year. A comparison of the two periods also shows receipts to have made again of $5,584,.794. During the same period ordinary expenditure in- creased by $2,986,015, whilst capital ex- penditure shows an advance of only about three-quarters of a million dollars. saucier than slap the Opposition on the wrist. Of course, it was a maw's neat the colouel found—or made—and it's ooiy a crockery egg he is cackling over, but the Clock is glad to see him show so much spirit. There are, then, depths in this meek nature which we had not sus• peoted. Shake, old girl! At 'em again and scratch. their faces!—Ii. I'. (3., in Toronto Star. RURAL. DELIVERY REPORT. The Postmaster-G;.noral on Monday presented to the House of Commons a report of ithe investigation made by adr Wm. Smith, secretary of the post- offiee department, and Mr. Geo. Ross, chief postoffice superintendent, into the workings of the rural free delivery s,,rvice in the United States. According to present plans and at the present rates of pay, the cost of the service to the United States this year will certainly be not less than from $32,• 600,000 to $33,000,000, while the deficit cannot be less than $20,000,000, and may go over 430,000,000. The report says that if such a service were established in Canada the annual deficit would amount to millions of dol- lars, the greater portion of the burden falling Upon the agricultural population. The report closes with the statement that in the opinion of the two officials the time is not yet arrived for the Cana- dian postoffioe department to enter upon - a rural free delivery' service. Government activity, if all acconnts be true, is not to be exhausted in the developement of the Gillies limit mineral deposits. The success of the Temiskam- ing & Northern Ontario road in its inch dental as well as its intended results has led to the determinaton to 'extend the principle of Government railway building still further, should the obser- •vatione of a more deliberate survey just- ify the expectations aroused by prelim- inary reports. The region to be tra- vereed by the new line is that lying between Sudbury and Cobalt, and survey parties will engage in the necessary work of location as BUM as the season renders it practicable. Nobody was surprised at Colonel Matheson's alleged revelations on Thursday night, and nobody saw any- thing in them. The colonel has been baited and badgered so much about his foolish loan that he had to say some- tning to divert attention. The colonel is mad, too, just as mad as a dish of skimmed milk can be. As the proverb says, it's a long worm that has no turn- ing. And Colonel Matheson turned, not sharply nor to much effect—but he turned. There's the point, Colonel Ninety -Sixes is waking up.

When completed Mr. McCall will have a good building, more stabling and his work more- convenient. We are pleased to note the success- of Harry Kirkly at the final examination, connection with the Veterinary College, Toronto. Although he was at the dis- advantage of being out of school for years before he took np the course, he proved his ability to do the work when. the testing time came, Mr. Kirkly in addition to securing his diploma took honors in Pathology, Physiology, hen- tomy and Entozoa. On even footing, he' would hustle the medal winners with- out doubt. The Grip. "Before we can sympathize with others we must have suffered ourselves," No one can realize the Buffering attend- ant upon an attack of the grip, unless -he has had the actual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. AlI danger from the grip, however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamber- lain's Cough Remedy.

A sprit= medicine seems to be a neces- sity. Nature demands it as an aid to enrich the blood and carry off the impurities that have ecopmulated dur- ing the indoor life of the winter months. Thousands of people, re0ogniziug the neoessity for a spring medicine, dose themselves with harsh, griping purga- tives. ThiS is A mistake, Ask any dootor and he will tell you that the use of pur• gative medicines will injure the system and cannot possible cure disease. Iu • e spring the system needs building p- • — purgatives weaken. The blood . ould be spade rich, red and pure--• 'rgatives cannot do this.

LEMOtN!E. Canada's Historian and Litthateur, At "Spencer Grange," a. sunny homestead amidst ;.great trees overhanging the St. Lawrence, near the quaint old fortress city of Quebec, where every square foot of ground seems conseeratcu to historic memories, lives' Sir James2rfaePher- son LealDine, Canada's genial historian, now working still in the sunshine of optimism, though in iris eighty-first year, Born in the city of Quelle.e,_ a. descendant of one of the- old and distinguished families of Old France, he spent some of his early years under the kindly care of hit Scotch maternal graudfathes at Isle aux Glues. After completing his educa- tion at the Seminaire de Quebee,-he entered the public service as collector of internal revenue at the age of twenty-two. Three years later lie was admitted to the bar and practised law for a few years., but his heart was not in it. He preferred study- ing history and birds and writing about then. Surrendering. to the spell of the legendary and historic lore of his, native city and its surroundings, he loved to breathe new lifeinto the old romances, or to dive into the sea of historic research and investigation. The range of his work can be best suggested'.by the comprehen- sive title "Canadian History, Legend, Scenery and Sport" ---a veritable treasure - house of. Canadian lore, written with. n fine literary touch, ancl pulsing with vital human interest. The love of birds, which led hint. forty-five years ago to write his first contri- bution to, periodical literature on land and sea birds around Quebec for the "Can- adian Naturalist," is a dominating note in his life. His splendid collection of Canadian girds in the museum of his. home attests his loyalty to his ferithered friends, ancl,'`Spencer Grange" is the mecca of students of Canadian annals, keenly alive to the'rare privileges it affords them. His library rooms are filled to overflowing with books, pamphlets, pictures and literary- treasures; but the most interesting shelves are those' containing the thirty volumes of his writings, eighteen of which are in English and,twelve in French. Like Professor Goldwin Smith, :lir James'printed hooks represent the smaller part of his literary product, for he has numberless pamphlets and magazine articles to his credit that are unfortunately buried in isbn oblivion of ephemeral' periodicals. His interest in contemporary matters. is as deep and vital as ever; his mired is keen, alert, sensitive as a barometer to'every impression, and he carries hit years with a grace and ease that laugh at time and its terrors. hor many years presi- dent of the Literary and Historical Societjr of Quebec, he has also had the liTThest literary honor in the Dominion—the presisieney of the Royal Society of Canada. Entered according to A A oE' ttm, Parliament of Canada, in the vsss lute,, by W, C. black, at the Ucr,arta.ent of Agriculture i,ive Stook Markets. Toronto, April 10—The ran at the City Cattle Market to -day was 56 cars, with 800 head of cattle, 68 sheep and lambs, 550 hogs and 210•oalves. 1 The market was decidedly dull and 6 weaker than last week's close. The lighter ran probably saved prices some- what, in particular for the choicest butcher cattle. These latter were scarce, and several loads- of fairly good light export cattle were bought by the local butcher trade to make np the deficiency. For this reason several sales of so-called buteber cattle at around $5 were really Vain the mourning over sin without: for light to medium exporters. Some its mending. choice loads of goo butcher cattle, 1,050 pounds or a little over, were sold at $4,50 Tr 4.75. For the rest it was a slow and dull market, some cattle going at from 25c to 30c per cwt. less than they could have been sold for lost week. Medium heavy butchers at $4 Oa, $4.10; mixed lots and cows at $3 lir. 50; common canners at $1.50. The export trade is very quiet, acting in sympathy with - the present low rates , in the old country. Two or three loads - sold at $4.00 @ $d S0. Anything extra , choice was quoted at $5. Heavy feeders—Good and heavy feed- ers are firm at $3x35 (a} $4 25. Good short -keep. feeders were in goodo Sparing little weeds spoils many at large harvest. Heaven never fills the hand and for- gets the heart. The shepherd's amok does not make the crooked sheep. No man climbs tc•tize Father by treacle - hag on his brother. Stealing sorrow is as much a sin as ac- quiring stolen joys. Works build a wall against most of• the tempter's wiles. The serenity of the saints is not one hawed by their mores. Many fail through aaccess,while other succeed through failure. Clothes do not make the man, thomgh they often mark his mind. If the black sheep were more common no one would stop, to count them. When generosity is a surgical ooera- tion it is often fatal to the patient. No man is brave until he has over- come the fear of being called a coward. The godly man is not likely to be good unless he believes in the goodness of his God. When some men send a dollar to hea- ven they want to receive the earth for a rebate, It is not the people who are poor, but the poor people that the Church needs to be ashamed af. It is better to be the fool soon parted from his money than the miser whose soul is buried with it. The fact that a man is all puffed up with pride will not mitigate the jar when he takes his fall, The shrewd men seldom has sense enough to know that he cannot be satin lied so long as his soul is starved. Many things may keep yon from the other triumphs of life, but Only seldsh. nese can keep you from the victory. Of into, demand and firm at $4.25 ( $4,50. Sheep and lambs—The market is. ' weaker.
