While two million bushels went east by water to-day, the average shipment has not been 'up to that figure, so that the grain is gradually backing up, and it Is expected that Saturday's figures will show a considerable In- crease in the grain storage here. "The crux of the situation is*east of here. The blockade is such that a cargo has even been consigned to South Chicago to be shipped abroad via some Gulf of Mexico port. The situation has caused lake rates to fluctuate to an extent unknown be- fore. From three to eight cents from Fort Willlam to Bay ports, 18 cents to Montreal from Buffalo, and from 8 to 12% cents for winter vessel storage. "The railways have done admir- able work In bringing down the grain from the west to Fort Wil- tiam, but have been swamped by the tide of grain from the Bay ports east. Three thousand, cars are on order for transporting grain all- rail from the head of the lakes to the seaboard." The Whig has on several occas- ions, during the past two years, urg- ed thé need for Kingston's harbor improvements and elevators plan- \ned by J. M. Campbell, so as to take care of the grain shipment from Fort William to Montreal, St. John and Portland, and prevent it being { American ports and transportation lines. The above de- spatch only confirms the statements presented in our news Jeolumns sinco the trouble began at Montreal earl- fer in the season when grain car- riers were held up for days by rea- son of the lack of facilities, when they could have discharged thelr grain at Kingston and returned to Fort William to reload. The| present situation at Fort Willlam is due to the inability of the grain steamers to keep the elevators emptied so as to allow for the storage of the late fall shipments from the prairies. The increase {in rates due to the scarcity of vessels now when navi- gation is nearly at an end, and the long winter rail haul from Fort Wil- liam to the ocean ports, mean heavy losses to the farmers that wou'd have been much less had the move ment been constant throughout the 'entire season and loss of valuable time saved by adequate trans-ship- ping facilities and storage elevators at Kingston. It is only logical, as J. M. Campbell has repeatedly point- ed out, that the provision of elevator storage along the Canadian route to the sea, and especially at the foot of deep water, would provide for the greatest demands, permit the grain vessels to make more frequent trips during the period of open wai- er by shortening their journey, anc keep the elevators at the head of the lakes reasonably free from con- gestion so that the sarplus grain would not have to be sent via Amer- ican railways and ports. This is a matter that must be tak- en up by the Dominion government. The Kingston harbor scheme was the result of muclf study, and was designed to add an important linx in the all-Canadian grain route that must be developed if the business is worth holding: The demand must now be apparent to the department of railways and canals, and as it calls for immediate consideration It is of more importance than the big- ger project of the deep waterway eye fell upon Hermine. From the (meagre estimate that may be made of her from news dispatches, It seems that she is no one to take any The Toronto Globe | of Bill's smartness, The chances ar2 that she will rule the roost. She can't make Bill any more ridiculous. And in return, Hermine will have a doddering old ex-everything to care for. Cheer up, Hermine. They say the second wife always Is treated the better. THE MAKING OF FASHION. From time to time somebody rises to reproach women because they al- low themselves to be led blindly by the imagination of men fashion makers and wedr what-they decree without any regard to what is either proper Sor becoming. But a now light 1s let in on this subject by the declaration of Francois Marcel, inventor of the Marcel wave. For the man who made famous the wave which it was once the am- bition of every woman to reproduce in her own hair, when honored by the French government a few days ago for his discovery, said that to his mother belonged the real honor of the Marcel wave, since it was her beautiful waving hair which he had attempted to reproduce for other women. ; While this is a charming compli- ment to his mother, whose natural wavy hair was doubtless much more beautiful than any Marcel wave achfeved by artificial means, there have been fashions for:women devis- ed by men which their mothers could not feel proud of having in- spired. Yet all styles are evidently an at- tempt to reproduce some effect which has appealed to the sense of beauty in the beholder, and it need be no reproach to the inspirer of such fashions that they have been exaggerated until they have become grotesque or worse, MAN AND ANIMALS. Man has been acquainted with his fellow-animals so long that ne takes them as a matter of course. Yet everybody tacitly admits tkelr great influence upon human charac- ter. To wit the sayings: He's as sly as a fox. He works like a horge. He eats like a pig. Look out for that snake im the grass. I'm as hungry as a bear. She's a cat. » Allenists say that the majority of insane persons have a strong '"'ani- mal complex." Many of them imag- ine themselves turned into animals. What they believe, insane, {8s just a distortion of their sane thoughts. It is a good plan to analyze one's mental make-up once in a while. And an Interesting way of doing it is to compare one's self with the ant. mals. Walt Whitman began a fam- ous poem with the statement: *I think I could go and live with the animals." They are closer to us than we think. Are you indeed as faith- ful as a dog, or as bravé as a lion? Sort out your good &nd bad quali- ties. Animals can teach you much. MENTAL HEALING. By a Physician. od It has frequently been observed in the progress of human knowledge that popular unscientific thought has preceded scientific investigation, and what in one generation has been re- garded as superstitious belfef has in the next been received as the teach- ing of science, Perhaps in no case has this been more evident than with respect to the subject of mental heal- ing. Falth cures, Divine healing, treatment by suggestion, hyphotic or BLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY LIFE AND GOOD DAYS: | ~--He that will love life, | and see good days, let him refrain] his tongue from evil, and his lips| thet thoy speak no guile.--1 Peter | a a a a ss ed ing in the body produce a profound ¢bange in the personality of the sub- ject. The truth of this needs omly {0 be mentioned to be recognized. It is held that the converse is equally true, and that disturbances in the psyche, soul, mind or. whatever it may be called produce equally pro- found disorders in the body. Anxiety, fear, hate, or any emotional disturb- ance, which sets up a condition of niental indigestion may, and often does, manifest itself in physical symptoms. -So now an increasing number of doctors when confronted by a puszling case of illness, which there is no evident organic disease to explain, call it a functional trouble and proceed to explore the dark and secret places of the mind with the hope of dragging into the light of consciousness an offending memory. An attempt will be made in a series of short articles to explain to Whig readers how this fe done, and what results may be achieved by mental therapeutics.
