It will remembered that when Mr. Clergue project-d his steel industry he sure of a federal order for 25,000 tons per/year for five years, the price in Canada to be contingent--upon----the That was the one powerful. argument in favour 8f the government be wade price in England. deal. The first year's supply has been af- forded, and it seems to have fallen far short of the requirement. The demand was for 25,000 tons, and the delivery was of only 3,500 tons. The failure to met the order is not given, but it is jr sumably the same that which prevailed in the case of the Canadian Northern railway--a shortage of pig! iron, manufactured on the spot. The serious point with the govern- is the difference that has taken the 25 as ment in respe't of the price of rails. The English per ton, which the Clergue place quctaticn is company will not aceept.

Guelph, in TALK At a connection Mr. Whitney gave the principal of the sage ad- recent function in with the fat cattle show, Agricultural College some vice. Mr. Mills had dwelt upon several of the college wants, and to a couple of them, involving the expenditure of large sums, he referred as absolute necessities, Mr. Whitney saw in the occasion the opportunity 'to advertise himself as a lover of agriculture, and at the same embarrass Mr. Ross, he that Mx. Mills' course was Toronto dur- time and so intimated He should visit session, should spend plain. ing the next some time in the lobbies of the legis and should wires for lature, pull what he wanted.

COMING TO ST. LAWRENCE. Famous Brooklyn: Millionaire Having a New Boat Built. Ogdensburg, N.Y., Journal. Waiter Dur.ea, th: yo.ng Brooklyn millionaire, who four years ago, while diving in shallow water at Glen Cove, ro.e his nec, ani for a long time qovered between life and death, has sg far recovered us to think of his once favorite pastime, of yachting. Duryea has not ent rely recovered irom the .aralys's resulting from the ,accident.

'the sirgeons |e t_him in the cast for many months, untib-they wee sa- tistied 'that a sutlicient length of time irad--eta; sed forthe knitting together of the ve (ebrae. Slowly young Du vea's strength returned, and when it was discovered that his ability to take food was not impaired, and that the digestive functions were in working order, then it was that little hy littie the plaster fetters were removed. On the removal of the cast it was discov- ered that young Duryea was a paraly- tic. The young invalid was encourag = hy the surgeons, who told him that with extreme care and attention he would slowly regain the use of some of his limls, if sot all of them. 'lhe young man followed the directions faithfully and with the constant care of trained nurses began to recuperate, and found that health and life were returning to his palsied limbs. His vain has been so great that his minl turns to his favorite sport, vachting. He has ordered the Gas tngine and Power company and Charles L. Seabury & Co. to build for him a sixty-five foot steamyacht of special desion outlin'd by himself, to meet his requirements. The forward deck of this novel boat will be Hush and covered with' a sun awning. On the alt 1" deck there will he a cabin. taking in the fuil widih of the Loat. The entire upper part of this cabin will he fitted with plate glass vin dows made to drop into pockets like those of a strect car. This will per mit Mr. Duryea to sit on the &after deck and look in any direction. A roomy and artistically - furnished sa- locn will be arranged for dining, sup- plied with divans, chairs, ete. Every up-to date luxury will le supplied. The boat will be ready hy June and will be userl hy Mr. Duryea in the vici nity of Clayton and the Thousand Is- lands. Miss Gannon, Sec'y Detroit Amateur J Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles. "Dear Mrs. Prngmay:--I can conscientiously recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness and the troubles which so often befall women. suf- fered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised 'to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose | for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. 1 felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."--Miss Guia GANNON, 859 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. It is clearly shown in this young lady's letter that Lydia E. : Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the coeuaticcs hundreds: which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, . the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go thto a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be '" just as good " as Lydia E.
