Rainfall in Toronto During July Above . the Average--Double- tracking the Grand Trunk -- Coal Advances in Price. Toronto, July 29.--From the latest reports received here, the recent heavy rains throughout the province, con trary to a generally prevailing opin ion, appear not to have done much damage to the crops, with the excep tion of hay which was cut and which the contimuous wet weather provented from being cured, the result being that seventy-five per cent. of it is estimated to he more or less damaged. The injury to the grain crop seems to be confined mainly to the soft, white wheat which the rains have pre vented * from being harvested, and which is sprouting in consequence. The fruits do not seem to have suffered much so far, the principal damage having been done to the smaller fruits, such as raspberries. The rainfall in Toronto this month is far above the average of the last sixty voars, which is 2.918 inches This month to date it has rained on sixteon of the twenty-eight days, and the total fall has been 5.135 inches. For the whole of July last year the fall was 3.370. The greatest rainfall in ay July recorded was 8.150 inches in July. 1541. F. BH, McGuigan, general superinten- deiit of the Grand Trunk Railway company, who is inspecting the road between Chicago and Montreal, and who is , says that before the close ol the year the road will have 776 miles of double track. He expects that the double tracking of the line be tween Montreal and Niagara Falls, will be completed by the end of Nov ember, The work between Toronto and Belleville has been considerably de layed by bad weather, and the eon tractors have had many set-backs. The work is being carried on by the com pany itsolf, and is being pushed for ward with all possible speed. The expected advance in the price of anthracite coal in this city has taken plagh, The price per ton has been in creased throughout the city from $6.50 to 87.

Mr. Le wis was known as "the man turning to stone," and had been a great suf ferer for years. The case baffled the ablest physicians. Prior to nine years ago Lewis was frequently ill, but from appearances there was no particular ailmeat Then he found that his fingers were getting stiff, and it was with difficulty that he could move thém. This stifinets moved up his arms and soon from the el- bows down the flesh hardened until the arms were useless. The skin was drawn tight and his hands became like marble. The prick of a needle was not felt, neither did blood flow from a cut. The flesh was nearly white, with & marble cast. Four years ago his feet and lowe: limbs began to harden in the same way. The skin on his face was drawn and he frequently said that he felt he was gradually turning to stond.Hé was at one time an inveterate smok or, and he always thought this was the cause of his trouble. There was another remarkable feature. The vic tim got very little sleep. Weeks pass- ed at a time when he did not close his eyes. During the dav his attention was occupied by events that came to his notice at the country store, where he managed to go with much effort, but at night he sat up and read. Heo ate as little as he slept. Seldom was he hungry, and be went for days ata time without food. Several trips were made to hospitals where he was told that there was no hope. Mr, Lewis' mind was not af- fected. He wos a ready talker, a ----------------. SALVATION ARMY NOTES. Miss Wilson and Capt. Archibald Will' Visit Here. Stafi-Capt.

Ross' Condition Improved. Ottawa, July 29.--~The government bas decided to proclaim Saturday, August 9th (Coronation day) a pun lic holiday. A special number of the Canada Gazette will be issued, con taining the proclamation. Owing to the government having proclaimed Sa turday, August Yih a public holiday, Ottawa fire works and mubilation over coronation will be held on Saturday, instead of Monday, August Lith, as at first arranged for. The government to-day issued an order giving the civil service a holiday on Mownday, Au gust 4th, Ottawa's civic holiday. Hon, J. lsrael Tarte, minister public works, will, it 1s expected, re turn to Ortawa vext week. He is on his way two Duluth now, and will spend a couple of days bere. He will wetarn through Michigan to Sault Ste. Marie. 'Ihe latest telegram from Skagway, concerning Gov. Ross' condition, was as follows: "Ross still improving; temperature normal for the first time and continues cheerinl." Enquiry ai the department of public works, to-day, elicited: the informa tion that the report that trouble was anticipated with the employees on the government telegraph line to Dawson was correct. lt seems that friction between the men and Mr, Crean, who, is acting for the minister, originated last week, when he made the announce- ment that the number of employees was to be reduced, likewise the wages pail 'to those kept on. The union men did bot take kindly to the pro posals, and made threats to destroy the line. Mr. Crean communicated with the department, and: the latter notiied col Fred White, CM.G., comptrolier Of the North-West Mount He assigned men to pro tect the line and keep a latherly eye on the employees. The department kept, the matter quiet and the facts only leaked out yesterday.

A day or two ago hiv wife was passing along in front of the wall, wheeling a baby carriage, when a large stone fell from the wall and broke a wheel from the carriage; the baby had a narrow es bondi Jel death.

The timidity of our fishermen about their health gives us an insight imto their philosophy. We have long been persuaded that Izask Waltom could never have written his 'Compleat Angler" if his thoughts had been continually distracted by bites. What Izaak wanted was dreamn fish ing. He was out for a quiet drow on bank or in boat and the rod, and line were only excuses. When there came a tug and the evidence was indisputable that something had been hooked, the dear old philosoph- er took another swig at the bait, said "Dear me! How annoying!" and then got out and tied his line to a tree. It's a mighty strong fish that cam pull a tree up by the roots although, if we believe what the fish- ermen say, such things have happen- od, At any rate Izaak Walton never ran against a fish of that sort, or he would have put ft on record, This, we may take it, was the true Waltonian way of fishing, and it had this advantage--it didn't interfere with his thinking. The Walton style is still affected by the great major- ity of fishermen, who believe that the fish are , secondary affair, so long as a man can catch a few com- forting thoughts. What, pray, is re- flection save fishing for happy ideas? Fishing for them is much pleasanter than digging for them and sweating for them, as many slaves of the lamp have to do to this day. And the thoughts that are fished for are | so much better and brighter than the other kind. of nature, of blue skies, and rath suns, and burnished rivers, and whis- pering verdure. The other kind have the mark of the pick and the curse of gold on them. But fishing | What is more delectable than to stretch at full length on the bottom of your skiff, with the tented sky overhead, | and the wimpling waters around, and then to dream? What a keen sense of detachment from the world! What a loto# drifting with the tide! But you need warm weather for that, The Welsh From Patagonia, W. L. Griffith, Canadian Govern- ment agent for Wales and secretary to the Welsh Patagonian Committee, responding to the toast of the com- mittee, at the Liverpool banquet, stated that the following message had been sent to York House by the Colonists' Committee: - "This com- mittee, acting on behall of the Welsh settlers who have to-day arrived on British. soil after a long sojourn in the Argentine Republic, hereby ex- press our heartfelt satisfaction and pleasure at being once more within the dominions of MN. Edward VII. We also most refpecth tender our sincere thanks to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales for the interest he has taken in, and the assistance he has render- ed to, the movement of our repatria- tion. We look forward to becoming the centre of a numerous Welsh set- tlement in the Dominion of Canada, assured that the experience gained under an alien Government will tend to increase out loyalty to the Dritish Empire." The following reply has been recejv- ed: "Prince of Wales has received with much pleasure the resolution forwarded by you from the Welsh Patagonimms H.R.H, desires me tg convey to them his congratulations on their being again within the King's dominions, and to wish them happiness and prosperity in their new homes in Canada.--A. Bigge." Mr. Chamberlain had telegraphed: *I wish Welsh Patagonians every suc- cess in their new lite in Canada.' Sir John Llewellyn, chairman of the Patagonian Committee, has also sent ® message of congratulation and of good wishes, and an interesting let- ter has been received from Gutyn Ebrill, the patriarch of the Patagon- ian colony, who expresses his warm- est approval of the movement. Mr Griffith added that, from am experi- ence of fifteen. years in Canada, he was sure there were bright prospects for the colonists in the Northwest, and that ultimately Wales would have a chance of sending her sons to share in the prosperity of the new colony.
