The in come of the previous vear was 81,511, causing a deficit of $218, so that a healthy and encouraging revival of support has occurred. Very hearty thanks were passed to Mrs. McCam- mon, treasurer, upon adoption of the accour Miss E. J. Bell, the zealous superintendent, report '* superintenaent of the Home, 1 present my second annual re port. The Home during the year has sheltered in all fifty-nine inmates, for tv-two of these infants. Twenty have heen discharged, "eight died, five were placed in good homes, and another four arc to leave for Toronto on Fri day, to be placed under Mrs. Harvey, whom veu no doubt all know as a woman of true worth, who is deeply interested in the welfare of dependent children 'What more appeals to heart, than yz little chila, thrown en tirely on the world for care and pro tection, when those who really "have the right to care for it, cither forsake or disown 'it. Our home is one where such little ones are cared for, and where they grow to three vears, sur- rounded hy love, as their beaming lit- faces "wenpte, when we receive our morning greeting, get the child like, good-night kiss. We are both glad and thankful that the Father of all has opened hearts outside of the home to take many of these Httle ones, as "iheir and: that says a deal. It is our object to place little ones committed to our care in just such homes where they will be trained to live useful lives, vet it with regret, we part with them, as their departure always leaves an empty place in our nursery. Surely, to know we have five in happy homes since this time last year is assurance that our year's work has not been in vain. "We are capable and presented this beg to the hwnan tle or own, great these = thankiul to comparatively little the early winter, demie of measles, and means or room to children were victims, and were all very ill indeed, hut we ave thankful to say all recovered.

No child should sleep, where the children all gay, This room should be emp ty at nig for thorough véntilation, and 'as hil iren need pure air in which to really thrive, we hope to see the day when our home will have all these. improvements. "While the home is pre-eminently for the children's good, vet there is an- other side to the work which appeals to me very strongly, as mv experience has been such that I have gained an insight into. the needs of the poor un- fortunate girls cast upon the world, homeless, friendless, and without the advantages which to us,» mean, the bone and sinew of our future. This nothing else have they of that which goes to make up true woman- hood. Will we then, as stewards of Christ, stand by and refuse to assist in elevating the thought and life of such ? I think 1 can safely zav. no Although the prejudice of some in this part of the work is strong, 1 think if they understood the true position, all vrejudice would soon vanish, as much has been' done in the past As a proof we are gaining friends aud more svmpathy as the vears go by, for which feel orateful and much encouraged.

We feel deeply grateful to the persevering efforts of Mrs. McCallum in her weekly Bible class, also Miss Inkster's faith fulness and kind and sympathetic dis position as shown in her weekly talks, These are very helpful to the advance ment of the girls, and although it sooms as if the improvement were Jow, vet ix alwavs giving =i erowth, small. 1" would here to thank Rev.

Persenally, I would like to thank the members of the committee for kindness to myself, which has been much appreciated, especially during trving times." Miss Pell was cordially thanked and a warm acknow ledigment was also made of Miss Germaine's kindly exer- tions and interest.

Dr. McTavish, Deseronto, mo- derator of the Kingston presbytery, has written a pastoral on the ques- tion submitted by the general assem bly : "Should the Church Continue to Aim at Securing Prohibitory Lines ?" At a meeting last March, the presby- tery decided that as the Kirk sessions were almost. unanimous, the modera- tor shoukl write a pastoral, setting forth this fact. The pastoral con: cludes : "Christians should vote pray. The man who prays by Thy Name, should not vote for an institution wherein the name of God is so often and so shockingly blasp hemed. The man who prays "Thy Kingdom Come,' should not vote for a traftic which almost every branch @f the Christian church has pronounceil one of the greatest barriers in the way of tne coming of the kingdom. The man who pravs, 'Lead us not into temptation," should not vote for = an institution, the bar-room, which stands as one of the most alluring temptations on the street. "In the name of the presbytery of Kingston, whose humble servant | am, Jet. me repeat that the mind the Kirk-sessions is almost unanimous in favor "of prohibitory lation, and let me also express the hope that the members and adherents of our church within the bounds of the pres- hytery will faithfully discharge their duty on the"ith' of December next." as they 'Hallowed ol Horse Fooled A Drummer.

The Oswego papers report activity in the harbor there. While a considerable quantity © of Coal is being received there, yet the demand for it from the Canadian deal- ers is very heavy. As only a few weeks remain in which shipments by water can be made and as the weath- er will interfere considerably with these, little effort is being made to dispose of coal except to Canadian dealers, The fleet at Oswego is unusually large. It consists of the steamers Hinckley, St. Joseph, Ringleader, Sa- moa, Avon, Aberdeen, Armenia; schooners Kate Eccles, Ring of - the Kids, Northern 'Lights, Flora Carveth, Cornelia, Annie Faulkner, D. Freeman, Trade Wind, Arthur, Two jrothers, New Dominion, Keewatin, F. H. Bur- ton, Wilired and Plunkett; barges' Drake, Regina, Valencia, Jennie and Dorchester. All these boats are awaiting car- goes, but suflicient coal is not heing received to accommodate them all at one time. The local wholesalers hope to obtain sufficient coal to get all these vessels and barges out by Sa- turday night. The price paid by Canadians I. 0. bh. at Oswego is $5.35 a ton, an increase of fifty cents a ton over the privet charged before the coal strike was declared. The vessel-owners are get- ting good freights, the carrying price being seventy-five cents a ton to Bay of Quinte points. During other seasons the freight was twenty-five cents a ton to Kingston and thirty-five and forty cents to Belleville and Trenton. for Kingston and First Hard Coal. The first hard coal to enter Kings ton harbor for some time reached here carly Friday morning. It came by the schooner Two Brothers, Capt. Patter- son, from Oswego, and was consigned to S.

Of The Present Day, P The absorbing problem of to-day is, how to expend one's income so as to attain the best results; that iy, get full value for one's money. It may truthfully be said that this s been, is, and always will be an abyorbiiy prablem to those with lim- ited means; but the fact remains that, with the price of living necessities con- stantly rising one must husband one's resources more carefully than ever be- fore if he would live within his in- come. In saying that prices are rising, we except one article which has come to occuy a prominent place in the fa- mily medicine closet, and that is the specific for piles or hemorrhoids Known as Pyramid Pile Cure; this remedy is still sold by druggists at the * old prices of fifty cents, and one dollar, and these prices will remain unchang- ed. Those to whom this preparation has brought relief and a cure * after years of suffering do not need to be told. of its merits; others are advised that it is the greatest boon ever dis- covered, to all those afflicted with any form of piles; it is in suppository form, is easily applied, reaches the seat of the complaint, and gives immediate re- lief and a lasting cure. The reader may have tried salves, ointments and lotions without hene- fit, and feeling that his money has been wasted, resolves to suffer on rather than experiment farther. The reason for the failure of these treatments is, that they do not reach the seat of the trouble, and hence do not remove the cause, as does Pyramid Pile Cure. A little book describing piles, 'their cause and cure, is published hy the Pyramid Drug Co., Marshall, Mich., and anyone niay procure a copy hy sending name and address to above firm. As showing the estimation in which this remedy is held by the pub- lic it may interest the reader to know that its sales now exceed those of all other pi'e remedies combined.
