It ia estimated that there are between Lake'Superior _and the Rocky Mountains no- less than one hnndied and sixty million acres of land available for" fanning or grazing purposes, of which one- half may be considered cultivable. It may be mentioned by way of comparison that the total acreage under crop in Outwio is less than 3Ton million acrei.

A second advance has been coninipnced in Armenia, and fighting has been renewed around Kara. Immense efforts are also being made to retrieve the disasters and blunders in Bulgaria. Reinforcements are being hurried forward and if uumberscan achieve a victory the Russians are deter mined to gain one.

Ingenious Swlndlinc- Considerable excitement has been cause! in Hamilton recently by the an est and piosecution of Mr. W. Hope, a partner in the firm of Hurd, Roberts and Hopef for alleged embezzlement dining the time he was book keeper for Hurd and Itobc-t ts. The way by which he plocetded, an charged in his pieient p u tnei3, is so ingenious that it bhould be generally under stood, in older-that other firms may not Ijo similuily victimized. The Spectator gives tho following particulars: The firm kept a day book, a c ish book und a ledger. From lb nal urd of their business dealing in uiaible and granite there would us a rule bo moie items to enter on the credit side of tho cash book than on the debt side ; that is, thoy would mtke p lyments in small sums and take receipts in larger ones. The debt column was on one pag and the credit column on tho opposito pujjfl. When the credit column was full, the amounts of both would be added up and carried forwanl. The common de vice of drawing a line in red ink acrosa the blank space below the entries on the debt page was not adhered to. Tbe prosecutors assert that Mr. Hope received money in registered letters from debtors which he did not enter at the time and under date of its actual receipt; thut he added up the, columns and carried the umounta (forward, und afterwards inserted the entries on the blank lines that happened to be loft in any part of the cash book. The result would be that the column, so amended would not add, but in the meantime it had been passed! for several days or weekst and un less a man happened to go back and revise the additions a defalca tion could not be detected. Ofj course all amounts would he regu Jarly posted to the ledger, Rnd the accounts properly closed. Had the books been kept by double entry, such a trick would be detected when a balance was struck." | Epp-i has provided our b -with' a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many hf.avy doctors' bills.
