The hove of Mr. Isaac Briggs; at 801 Charlotte Bt.; this city; is one of the most prettily situated and well Rept of the many homes of the work: ifttmen of L&ndoh. he front is bure- fully boulevarded, and at the side and _ fear of the cottage home is a littice ®ork covered with vines; and there is also a garden. Within view are flelds and woods; and in fact there was nothing needed upon the occasion of #n autumn afternoon visit to make the I6t of a sick man atid such surround- ings as plegsant as possible, And so it was not t6 be wondered at that Mr. Briggs was found in a cheer- ful mood. But a conversation with the gentleman revealed the fact that there were very good reasons why any man under the same circumstances; and enjoying the same bright hope, could not but allow hus face to beam orth with what he felt. The sivey as 5% = y i re many of the friends of Mr. Briggs will testify, should such testimony be feeded. Mr. Briggs has been an in- valid for four years and has been un. well and under medical treatment for eight years, It was in 1885 that he first felt the twinges, the aches and the pains that foretold trouble. He secured medical attendance, and learn. &d that his liver was out of order, his kidnoys were bad and that he suffered from dyspepsia. However he worked along for nearly four years, when the terrible walndy affected his system in a way painful to relate. It came directly after an attack of "the grip Mr. Brigge was yet in his "fifties," and to all appearances was a well pre- served and strong man. But almost without warning the joints in every part of his body were as solid and im- movable as though they had been pad- locked, and the strqng man became as helpless as a babe. Many doctors were consulted, and they all promised relief and occasionally a sl'ght relief did come. But it was only temporary, and the unfortunate man, in consequence of these relapses, was gradually loosening his hold upon hope. The days were long and weary, that he spent upon his bed, with the dismal prospect ahead of being held a close prisoner, to be re leased only by death. The family, too, began to lose faith in medical skill. They bad given a trial to some of the foremost practi- tloners of the city, but always with the same unhappy result. Patent medi cines of various descriptions were like- wise tried, but in vain. Then about Christmas tide came news that had almost been expected. Mr. Briggs had not long to live, the doctors said. Gradually he grew weaker until early in the spring so seriously ill did he ap- pear to be that the end was daily look- ed for. Court Forest Oity, A.O.F., of which Mr. Briggs is a member, proved just at this juncture to be a friend indeed. Daring all his illness the brethren had looked carefully after his wauts, and had been very attentive. And no one regretted more than they the nuhappy prospect. One night the court was dis- cussing the case when it was suggested that Pink Pills shouid be tried. Stories had been told of what they had effect- ed in other cases. Then why not in this! Finally the court agreed to pre sent one dozen boxes of the pills to Mr, Briggs. The attending doctor told his patient that the pills were only good for cases of paralysis, but be consent- ed to their being given a trial as a last hope. Accordingly Mr. Briggs began taking them, Very soon a change was noticed. He grew wore cheerful and suffered mach less. His whole system seemed to be awakened to new life, just as was the world outside, for it was the glad springtime of the year. With renewed strength came renew- ed hope, and the invalid began to look upon Pink Pills as his deliverer. He used them faithfully, taking six a day. In a month he was able to leave his bed, and he did so with a thankful heart. Only those who have been forced to undergo long confinement hetween hedclothes can realize the pleasure and joy there were in that Brat day *p ut in the neat little parlor, seated in a big arm chair beside the window where the sun sent in its warm, bright rays. Since then Mr. Briggs has been about daily. He uses crutches yet, but he grows stronger every day. Now he can use hig hands, eating with a knife and fork, and the joints eontinue to grow looser and pli- able, giving only a faint idea of the veritable knots into which those of the hands and feet were tied.

Disgracetul Legislation. The leader of the Opposition last week brought a Bill before the Legis- lature making the use of the ballot obligatory in the election of School Trustees, as well for Separate as for Public Schools, in cities, towns, villages and townships where one Board is elected for all the schools within the township. Nothing vould be more fait, and no one desirous of honest, indepentent elections could possibly bave the slightest. objection to the bal lot either for publie ot separgte sghools. But the Bill originated with the Op- position and the Government side must display their miserable little partizan spleen and defeat the Bill. Hon. members ought to know, or be taught to know that as public servants they are sent to the Assembly not to mon- key with legislation and play off their little partisan tricks, but to honestly legislate in the best interest of the heartily supporting good mensnres without the slightest refer. ence to where they driginate. The province can't afford to pay men to go to the Legislature to play politics. > Adding to the Orowd. province, The Ontario Government's Re-dis tribution Bill now before the House proposes to add three members to the already overcrowded Assembly. There are already at least twice as many members in our Provincial Assembly as there is any necessity for and to add to the present number is as stupid as it is wasteful, A considerable reduc- tion in the pesent number would be a move in the right direction, but to go on increasing the number is outrage ous, The labor organizations are do- ing the right thing in protesting against the Bill. Every class of the community should join in the protest and demand a reduction. About as Honest as Usual. If Toronto can secure a percentage of the receipts it will establish, if it can, a big monopoly by giving to ove party only the control of the island ferry. It is to be hoped that Legis- lature will refuse to grant any such A" power to thefrab-alls. A number of owners could make a comfortable liv- ing on the ferry and the public would be much better served, Why not take the control of the ferry from the city take charge of it, and let the profits go into the provincial treasury. tree On a Cash Basis. Sir Oliver's Bill making the pay- ment of £200 a necessary qualification for Solicitors to practice at the bar on an equality with barristers, isa singular idea, The practicing at the bar is all very well, but just where the $200 comes in is something of a mystery, Could not Solicitors plead quite as eloquently and no less learnedly if they kept the $200 in their pockets 1 Easily Satisfied. The vote on the budget came off at Ottawa on the morning of the 13th inst. The amendment expressed regret that the tariff reductions had not been greater. Out of a House of 200 there were 128 who said the reductions were sufficious. Some people are thankful for small mercies, but certainly there is plenty of room and lots of need for further reductions. ---- iors Onward and Upward. The London Times of the 13th inst. says a registration bill will be intro- duced to-day in the House of Commons by Mr. Morley, providing for a three months' residence "qualification for all electors, half yearly registration, one man one vote, and simultaneous poll- ing throughout the country. The passage of such an Act will win for Britain's Liberal Government the plandits of every advocate of honest and fai ions. The opponents of the BilB§f there be any, should never sit in parliament.

Six or eight months ugo [ wrote in the same strain and made a prediction that wheat amongst other things would never "come back." I was rather un- settled in this opinion some ten days ago when in conversation with Presi: detit VanHorne of the O.PR. He was ee of the prospects of the North{West and incidentally stated that he believed that wheat would ve a dollar and a half a bushel within a year. | I ventured the remark that he was the only one that I had heard pro- phesy anything of 'the sort. With that rather odd little laugh and queer introspective look which are charncter- istic of him, he answered, "Well, 1 am the only true prophet there is, anyhow, I have asked a dozen men high up .in railroad and speculative affairs in the United States to tell me what the wheat product of the world is, and 1 have Haver found one who knew. Of ts fu 'as the 0. PR. depends so largely on the success of wheat grow- ing in the North-West. By the way, Bave-You any idea what the wheat pro- duct of the woild is? This staggered we, for I had not the slightest notion, and if I had tried to guess I would have missed it by a thousand million bushels. "Say, you fellows write very sagely on the price of wheat, and yet [ have never met one of you who'knows enough about it to really make your opinion worth much. Of course it is difficult to get any accurate statistics, but as far as I have been able to find out after a careful sorutiny of everything that is provided in a statistical way, thig world's product of wheat is between twenty- three and twenty-four hundred million bushels per annum; I have been un- able to find any trace of seed-wheat being taken into consideration ; this I reckon at about three hundred million bushels.

Last year the raisers of wheat at best received little better than the cost of producing, while in many instances their return per bushel was. stialler than their expenditure, This can have only one effect, the dis- couragement of the wheat-producer and the consequent decrease of the acreage. Now if there is a decrease of ten per cent, in the production of wheat this year, owing 10 the low price of last year, there will be a shortage of two hundred and seventy million bushels, and ten per cent. of a decrease is well within the mark "As far us I can re- member there has never been a surplus of a hundred and fifty willion bushels. This year thesurplus has been used up by feeding it to stock, and we will pro bably start in with as nearly a clean sheet as ever before, Now if there is, a shortage of only a hundred and fifty | million bushels, this will not be dis- | ¢ covered until it is too late to sow more wheat," and wheat will go up with a| Even one year of higher-priced wheat will not bring back the old acre- age and for two seasons no doubt there will be a large advance, and within eighteen month I except to see wheat two dollars n bushel, "Why," said he, "when I was iu the railroad business io the South-West I remember when the farmers of Il: linois produced so much corn that the price went down to six, seven, eight and nine cents a bushel, and was used for fuel, burned like coal, in the central Western States. People said, 'Oh, corn will never come back to its old price ; there is too much of it grown.' Next year it was over fotry cents a | lushel/and has never gone back to any- thing like a ruinous price, though the production has Deen multiplied a hundred times. It will be the same with wheat ;« the reaction will come and it will wean astonishing prices f the reaction cones the North-West will get thie benefit of it. It raises the best wheat in the world and in spite of the fact that the O.P.R, is charged with exacting exorbitant freight rates, I can tell you that we haul wheat from the North-West to the seaboard more clrenply than it is carried the same dis tance anywhere else in the world. Why, in Australia, where they are be- ginning to raise wheat for export, they pay as much freight for two hundred and fifty miles of transportation as the Western farmer pays the CO. P.R. for Gfteen hundred oriles of haulage. Talk ussian a i get to the seaboard as cheaply ne the wheat of the North-West." Tt strikes me that there is something in Mr. Van- Horne's argament, and the opinion of a man who has perhaps tc nt greater ex- tent than any other railroad manager in America, a faculty of taking a world: wide view of a subject, is worth re: membering. % £ The Evolution Of medicinal' agen's is gradually re- legating the old-time herbs, pills, draughts and vegetable extracts to the rear and bringing into general use the pleasant and effective liquid laxative, Syrup of Figs.
