northern mail service, the Postmaster-General showed a surplus of $5,-109.If the Yukon is excluded this year, the surplus is $395,362.Provision is made to use this surplus as a reward by increasing

4.7-inch gun were stolen.These have since been found in the native city.Wires were laid to connect with an electric battery, hut the connection had not been made, otherwise there might have been a very serious explosion The incident draws attention to the niggardly policy which has made the British military establishment in the legation quarters, the worst installed of any in Pekin.Ladie»'

Dear old ame* Payn used to relate that in pri late letters to the editor of an Aineri-m magazine to which he contributed, e used to send the current club stories, which wore perhaps more shocking even than this extract from “The Luck of Roaring Camp;” it was not, however, till he had supplied regularly for seven years these club delicacies that his correspondent wrote at last to inform him that she was a lady! “I give you my word,” added Payn, “I blush even now in bed when l think of her seven years’ long mitrering!” But to return to the ritieisrn of the prudish proofreader, who recalls Moiiere’s satire on “people whost1 ears are more chaste than all the rest of their bodies,” Bret Hartc’s answer to it in his defence of his habit of holding up to admiration “a man of one virtue and thousand crimes*’ is most effective.He wrote: ‘'Hie author has been repeatedly tioned, kindly and unkindly, intelligently and uninteMigently, against his al eged tendency to confuse recognized standards of morality by extenuating lives of recklessness, and often criminnli ty, with a single solitary virtue.Of all the various fonns in which cant presents itself to suffering humanity, he knows of none so outrageous, so illogical, so umh monstnuble, so marvelously absurd as the cant of ‘too much mercy.* When it shall be proven to him that communities are degraded nnd brought to guilt and crime, suffering or dost itution, from a pre dominance of this quality ; when he «hull see pardoned ticket of-leave men elbow ing men of austere lives out of situation and position, and the repentant Magdalene supplanting the blameless virgin in society, then he will lay aside his pen and extend his hand to the new draconian discipline in fiction.But until then he will, without claiming to be a relig ions man or a moralist, but simply os an artist, reverently and humbly conform to the rules laid down by a Great Poet, who created the parable of ‘'The ProjJi gal Son’ and ‘The Good Samaritan1 whose works have lasted 1,800 years, and will remain When the present writer and his generation are foi^otteu.” Ws are all “ladies* and “gentlemen" How, but the ladies ami gt-nUemen them Selves—the bitterest enemies of the latter could not accuse the majority of them of being aither the ont or the other, Says an Lngliah journalist.Shopkeepers •ell their goods, “Society" sell tneir friends!

The “spook" was “a corpulent man vv.th a mass of hair,” arrayed in “a summer jacket suit " This is quite the last get-ap in which a contemporary and fellow-laborer of Luther might be expected to pre»ent himself to a latter-day audience, luggests Henry La bouche re.One could is easily think of John the Baptist reap-poaring in a suit « f di’t* es.Peiliaps after all it was only «orne Bchmidt or schneider who died last year at Hamburg or Frankfort.But whether it was Schmidt, or Zwin-rli, or John the Baptist, the summer jacket suit raises a question which spiritualists of all schools ought to face frankly.I hod a very interesting letter bearing tijion it a few days ago.The writer dealt with “spooks" or ghosts at large, snd wanted to know where they get their clothes.He pointed out that in all ages they have appeared in chain* that clanked and silks that ru-tled.whereas In the va-t majority oi ca*cs they have been buried in simple winding-sheets.Hamlet’s father, for instance, was doubtless interred in the usual fashion, whereas there he was on the ramparts, armed cap-a-pie.Even if you assume that the spirit might reconstruct .some passable semblance of his more or less decomposed fleshly tenement, he could not borrow a suit of armor Which was probably at the same time mounted on a stand, soJ^ie* where in the precinct» of the palace, liie same problem presents itself in the case of all spooks.Do they manufacture a new suit of ghostly clothing for each appearance, in public?Or are there in the spook world (this is my correspondents suggestion) second-hand clothing depots, where a spirit desirous of materializing can obtain at the shortest notice a gentlemanly outfit suitable to any epoch or rank of life—just as he could, when ing, at Nathan’s or Alias’s?'Ihe evuh from Berlin about Zwingli obviously sup porta the latter theory.The only plausible explanation, to my mind, of the lie-former’s summer jacket suit, is that he wanted a costume in a hurry, and had to take anything that would fit appar cntly something that had been worn last at Margate or Monte Carlo.Haying an insatiable thirst for occult know edge, 1 should like to know more about this.The House, for the first time this session, sat on Saturday, and a weary lot of legislators filed out of the chamber at an hour which barely allowed them time to reach their temporary homes before the stroke of the clock in the tower announced the opening of the Sabbath.Perhaps it was fitting that the first Saturday sitting should he devoted to the consideration of a measure which has for its object the purification of elections in the Dominion.Mr.John Charlton’s bill, by the courtesy of the Government, has been placed among the Government business on the order paper, and ft has therefore been enabled to escape the slaughter which on the last day of the session generally befalls those bills and motions which are not so classed.Although it contains many provisions, all designed towards the same end, the clause which almost entirely engrossed attention was that which removes from the voters’ lists for six years the names of all those electors who fail to record their votes at an election.Exception is made where illness or absence prevents the voter attending.Around this clause the battle raged nearly all day, both political parties being divided upon it.Progress was ultimately reported, after the Premier had suggested—the leader of the Opposition concurring that the clauses which were not contentuous should be allowed to pass into law.The Government will consider the clause which formed the principle topic of discussion.One ounce of Sunlight Soap is worth more than two ounces of common soap.REDUCES EXPENSE isk for tl*e pend upon it, mothers there is no mi stake aboutit.11 cures IMarrhoea, regulates the Stomac h and Bowels cures Wind Colic, soften the Gums reduces Inflammation and gives tone and energy to the whole system.„ “Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for children teething is pleasant to the taste and is the prescription of one of the oldest arid best female physician and nurse in the United States.Price twenty-five cents a bottle Sold by all druggists thrcAighout the world.He sure and ask for “Mrs.Winslow’s Soothing Syrup."

similar rush.Figures issued at Ottawa Thursday night show that the immigrant arrivals in Canada for the nine months of the present calendar year ending on October 1st numbered 108,-014, or 30,182 in excess of the total for the same period of last year.Of this year’s immigrants 43,187 came from the British Isles, 32,108 from the continent of Europe, and 32,320 from the United States.In 1002 the immigrant arrivals were : British, 16,979 ; continental, 25,236 ; the United States, 26,617.For the first quarter of the fiscal year ending on Sept.30th the arrivals were 26,087, as against 23,381 for the same three months in 1002.The British arrivals were 12,478, an increase of 6,133 ; the continental arrivals 7,218, an increase of 208, and the American 7,201, a decrease of 2,-735.The extraordinary diversion of British emigrants from the United States to Canada is made evident by the fact that in the period between 1801 and 1000 726,000 persons emigrated from Great Britain and of these 20,000, or seventy-two per cent., went to the United States, and only 00,000, or thirteen per cent, to British North America.Since January first Canada has attracted almost half as many British immigrants as she did in the ten years preceding 1900.To Cure aCoId in Oie Day.Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tkb-lets.All druggists refund the money if it fails to cure.E.W.Grove’s signature is on each

following in regard to the light question in Coaticook : We think it was Councillor Gendreau who remarked the other evening when the council wras being told that the natural flow of the Coaticook river would not run our lights one-fourth of the time, “that if the council continued hearing such things they would come to the conclusion that they had on their hands in the electric light system, an elephant.“ That the council had taken upon itself no small burden must he admitted.If municipal ownership is to be made a success in Coaticook some of the councillors will have to give a considerable portion of their time in making it so.The organizing of the plant and service is quite an undertaking.The question of bringing the service up to the standard both as regards incandescent and arc lights, will necessitate much work and study.The question of securing j power to do this is of itself a difficult one to solve.If the council cannot give the people what they are paying for by means of water power it would seem to be the right thing to do to give it to them by means of steam power But this means a larue expenditure of money.If the council should entertain the proposition of the Coaticook River Water Rower Company more water and consequent power might be forthcoming, hut $1,000 would he going out of the town treasury.It is reported that the transformers are of different manufacture, and some of them useless, that different sizes of wire are in use for conducting the current and that a large amount of energy is being wasted too.Taking everything into consideration there would appear to he something of an elephant in the deal, and the best and easiest way of treating it may he something of a question ; and yet, having put their hands to the plow* the council cannot look back, and we have no doubt they will win out in the end.In the meantime they are entitled to the patience and consideration of the ratepayers until they get the matter under full control.Minard’s Liniment for sale every where.The Mother-io-LawB Very little U known of the origin ot thi» epede*.write* Dorothy Dix in her “Studi*** in Natural Iliatory.* Many people who have had opportunity of studying it at clo»e range believe that the first one was the original Bcrpent gi Eden that put Eve up to making trouble for Adam, and that its descendants are still at work breaking up Domestic Paradise#.In confirmation of this theory, which ia held by many men of experience, it ia pointed out that the Mother-in-Law is generally the First Aid to the Divorced, and that in familie^ where none i| kept the wife generally live» and dies without eating ox the apple of knowledge, and finding out that she is married to A Brute and is a Poor, Persecuted Angel.Generally speaking, the Mother in Law Is indigenous to Europe and America, only a tew scattering ones, and those of a feeble character, being found in Asia, and none at all in Africa, which accounts for the large immigration of resent year# to the latter country.Naturalists have no troulde in placing the Mother-in laiw among the predatory and man-devouring animais, but much difficulty has arisen in settling the exact class to which it belongs, some students contending that because of its mania for putting its finger in everybody’s pie it pertains to the genua feminis intemied-lis.while others hold th:it its arbitrary temper and determination to rule the roost indicate that it is a species of the genus feminis henneckus.An eminent authority, however, advances the opinion that while both of these theories are true, they do not go far enough, ami that the Mother-in-Law is, perhaps, the finest specimen extant of the genus fem-inis gtirup troublibus.In appearance this strange animal is what is described as hard featured, being particularly noticeable for the set of its jaw and the fact that it presents, from every aspect, an unyielding appearance.It is generally of a black color, and it bristles with bundles as a porcupine does with quills.Its voice is also of a pecu liarly grating and harsh quality, and has the extraordinary power of affecting men’s nerves to the extent of driving them to drink.The chief characteristic of the Mothcr-In-Law is its inability to let people alone.It can no more see a man and his wife happily going their own way in peace without wanting to throw a bomb in between them, than a dog can see fl horse grazing in a meadow without snap ping at its heels.Tins is not intentional mischief.It is just the nature of the beast, and it can’t help it.It is built that way, with an insatiable mania for butting into affairs where it is not-wanted.No man can hope to run his house, or play anything but second fiddle, who keeps a Mother-in-ljaw on the premises.As may be supposed, knowing the dan ger to which they will be exposed, and seeing the fell fate Unit has befallen their friends, no man desires to have such a household pet, but so crafty and foxy is the Mother-in-Law iffat it comes upon him unawares, and the first thing he knows one of these creatures is inalienably attached to his establishment.A great many men are able by strenuous labor to keep the wolf from the door, but comparatively few are ever able to fight off a Mother-in-Law.liet it not l>e thought, however, that this bloodthirsty animal has been made in vain.Not without reason is it well called the Watch Dog of Monogamy, foi no man lias such a horror of polygamy as one who has a Mother-in-Law.BONE FOOD Soft and crooked bones mean bad feeding.Call the disease rickets if you want

account-book of Perron, ‘maJtre d’hotel’ of Napolean at 8t.Helena.This very suggestive and, I believe, authentic volume was put up to auction at 400 fr., and with difficulty worked up to 480 fr.,” writes a Paris correspondent.“Napoleon went over it once a week, signed it, and made any observations that occurred to him on the margin.His hand, always illegible, l>ecame a fearful scrawl at Longwood.Mont hot >n, his treasurer, however, rewrote the observations in a legible hand, for Perron’s direction.He often dined on kid or lamb or mutton in the early days of his captivity.He re jected fish on his doctor’s advice.From the middle of 1820 he lived almost entirely on chicken and fruits, and occasionally had veal broth, with rice.The price of everything seeiqs exorbitant.Perron’s accounts began in Janu- ary, 1819, and ended on May 2, 1821.He lived to an old age.After his death >js personal property was sold by his grandchildren.A M.Dabi in, a w'ell-known collector, who began by collecting letters of Queen Victoria to Louis Philippe, which an 1848 mob cast out of the windows of the Tuileries, bought the Perron account-book.It enables those who have a little imagination to picture faithfully ‘Napoleon at home, at-St.Helena.’ “This account-book confirms me in an impression I have long had as to the jerkiness of Napoleon’s mind.'Che more l learn of that mind the more wanting in balance it seems to me.It runs in a childish way from subject to subject, shows a childish impatience of contradiction, and of all that stands in the way of his desires.One sees this disposition in slave owners and in persons who have, without long preparation, won great situations.Their caprices become their masters.Napoleon had for his agents in ministering to his behests the most brainy people in Europe, and in bis time the least groovy and most spontaneous.I ho handwriting throughout his life may be taken as a sincere exponent of his delects of character and int licet.It looks like a drunkard's scrawl.Could his forebears have been deep drinkers of heady wines?Perhaps.But, whether or not, the handwriting is jerky, unconnected, utterly deficient in composure and mental dignity.I may even add that it betrays utter selfishness.The writer ia entirely led by impulse and never studies the convenience of anyone else.Had he boon considerate, he would have tried to write

Kidney Pills.And His Lumbago and Urinary Troubles Vanished Once and for all He Tells his Story, Uampbellford, Ont., October 12.— (Special).—That Urinary Troubles and Lumbago are the result of

eyes.Speaking of his case, Mr.Atwell says : “I think Dodd’s Kidney Bills made a permanent cure in my case, but 1 will never be without them in the house.I had Lumbago and Bladder Trouble for years.I tried other medicines and a bandage prescribed by the doctor, but I could get no relief till I used Dodd’s Kidney Pills and they cured me.” If the disease is of the Kidneys or from the Kidneys, Dodd’s

June last 8 I is a gratifying assurance of continued • I prosperity and expansion.The net Ç j debt of the Dominion has been redu< e-^ ed by $9,885,810, a result that shows 2 i not only an abundant revenue, but a • wise and statesmanlike policy in its S administration.A portions of this re- • duct ion in the recorded net debt is the a result of adjustments in the accounts J between the Federal Government, and S the Provinces.But the actual oper-?at ions of the year have reduced the A debt, by $6.580,360.This is by no It means spasmodic fluctuation in • Dominion finance^.as it is a continu- • ation of the debt reduction of the current year has gone, every month previous year.And so far as the Mr.J.J.Gibbons, advertising agent, of Toronto, made Printer’s Ink a pleasant call last week.He is a publicity maker of the sort that the Little Schoolmaster admires.The best and largest firms in Canada are his clients, secured and held by true merit and positive ability.He employes about twenty-five people and he describes a system of working together and consulting among his staff which cannot help ensuring suc-sess—both for himself and his clients.For the “adschool” graduate—as the term is commonly understood—Mr.Gibbons has little use.This adverse attitude is the result of his actual experience in that direction.He believes with the Little Schoolmaster that debit and (redit the sense and understanding of these terms, are more important than the stereotyped ability of writing a “smart” advertisement.Mr.Gibbons’ opinion gains weight from the fact that he has built up a thriving agency upon this principle and in the face of all competition.As a matter of fact there is today no better opportunity for young men of ability to succeed than in the advertising business.And at the same time there is no surer business to fail in for those who are illy equipped or poorly endowed by nature or training or intuition.What is essential to success is the performance of that which each particular business to he advertised requires.One may be established thirty years in the advertising business and fail to grasp the right wrays.One may not have been heard of more than thirty days, yet he able to catch the advertising spirit which a given business needs, and he able “to deliver the goods” in the right and relative proportion of cost and chances—and he will succeed, now and hereafter, because that capacity is fundamental to advertising success at large.New York, October 10.—Orders were issued today from New York whereby 15 per cent, of the employee's in the car

Minister of Militia, made a statement in the House of Commons on Thursday indicating an intention to put Canada’s citizen army on a thoroughly effective basis.He aims at a war footing of 100,000, with good rifles, ample artillery and the necessary reserves of clothing, ammunition and equipment.He proposes that the active militia shall number 40,000 to 45,000 men, of whom 22,000 shall be thoroughly trained each year under service conditions.In other words, Sir Frederick wants a force that will be able to take the field, .with its transport, engineering, food supply and medical services in good working order, instead of pieced together at a moment’s notice.The country has spent a great del of money on the militia for buttons and feathers.If Sir Frederick can lick the force into an efficient little army he will deserve much at the hands of his fellow-countrymen.Minard’s Liniment Cures Burns, etc.The manufacturers’ excursion train struck a handcar near Rat Portage.The occupants-of the

Two Archers.Love and I >eatli are both depicted as archer*.When Love set* his arrrow in a woman’s heart and she turns and follows, seeking healing of her hurt, could there be aught sadder then that she should t>e led by very Love into the ambush where Death, arrow on string, waits to plant his deadly shaft in her breast?Yet so it is.Time and again Love proves to be Death’s decov.And often when the grim archer fails to inflict mortal hurt, he leaves the suffering woman to creep through life like a broken-wdnged bird.Why does love lead to suffering?Many a woman has asked that question piteously and passionately.She has forsaken father and mother to cleave unto her husband in the belief that so she was achieving woman’s highest happiness.But instead of happiness she has found misery, struggled with it until struggle seemed useless, and at last has come to accept her misery as the " cross” laid upon women who love and marry.There is no real reason why almost every wife and mother should not enjoy sound health.The causes of her misery lie in disease's which affect the delicate, womanly organism.Disagreeable drains are carrying away the vital force.Inflammation has lighted its fire for slow torment.Ulceration is eating into the tender tissues.Female weakness is making life a daily martyrdom.Is it any wonder that the nerves are racked, that appetite fails, and night, which should nring rest, brings only restless and troubled dreams?Dr.Pierce’s Favorite Prescription cures the womanly diseases which undermine the general health.It dries the drains, puts out the fire of inflammation, heals the ulcerated tissues and cures female weakness.In a word, it makes weak women strong and sick women well.” Favorite Prescription” is a true temperance medicine.It contains no alcohol, neither opium, cocaine, or other narcotic.Sick and ailing women are invited to consult Dr.Pierce by letter, free of charge.All correspondence strictly private and sacredly

trail he took it and reached ont* of the Berlin Mills lumber camps in Maine, where he cooly went to work.After some days of work he told the^ foreman he would have to go back to Canada as his people

to the affected parts along with the air breathed, for nature intended those organs for the passage of air alone, and sprays, automizers and internal medicines utterly >aiI.But Catarrhozone doesn’t

the breathing organs is slowly exhaled through the nostrils Catarrhozone protects and heals the inflamed surfaces, relieves congestion, allays inflammation and perfectly cures all bronchial
