Graham, late assessor of Fenelon Falls, is assisting them. The object of the valuation is to ascertain whether the assessments in the various municipalities have been correctly made, which materially affects the county rate, and this is the first year their verification has been ordered in this county, though not in others.

The fact that the Government won two out of three of- the bye-electimis on the 4th inst. proves that there is a gen- eral public endorsement of the policy of the present Government, as far as it has been developed. In South Brant, Mr. Henry’s defeat by a large majority indicates that sym- pathy and personal popularity count but little when a constituency expects to be benefited by standing in-with the-Gov- ernment, and is, in reality, politically opposed to the popular man. Mr. Hon- ry‘s fricudsall ovcr Canadaâ€"and hc. has a legion of themâ€"will regret hisdcfect, and yet will be glad that the Hierarchy can have no reason to jubilate over his election. Had he been rc-clccted in what. has been for so many years a Lib eral constituency, a severe blow would azive bccu inflicted upon Mr. Lanrier. In North Ontario the election of the Liberal candidate was largely effected by lloinan Catholic votes, and of these the friends of the present Administra- tion and the people of Canada have a right to be proud. It proves that, though the magnates of the Church would like to interfere in secular affairs and dominate the Government, the laity of the historic Church propose to act as citizens, and as politically seems unto them best. In East Simcoc Mr. Bonnet has been re-elccted, and had he acted as many Conservatives acted during the trouble over the school que~tion, he would have had no chance of bciui: returned. llis course may not have been as free from the tricks of the politician as was (lt‘:>ll‘- able, \‘t‘l he was at. least not an opcu friend of remedial legislation. .‘lr.

A _-_A ,. . ._,_ _ .â€" Star Spangled Salvation. It was easy to endorstand, and per- haps not impossible to sympathize with Balliugton Booth's unwillingness to be. tied hand and foot by the patriarchal rule of his father, General Booth. Yet at the time Bal ington Booth broke away from the main body of the Salva~ tion Army he did not show too much consideratson for his aged parent. The. differences between father and son are a family affair. But the dispute had a public side which everybody could judge atfu which the Canadian public did not hesitate to condemn. At. the time Bal- lington Booth and his wife broke with their aSsociatcs in the Salvation Army, they became in the religious world what the New York Sun is in the journalistic world. They were both English folk, and they wearicd some sensible Ameri- can journals by their vociferous rant aboutstanding up for the United States. It is possible that as to the merits of the controversy Balliugton Booth was right and General Booth was wrong. But Ballingtou Booth was not right when he used American hatred of Eng- land as the agent of his unholy ambi- tion. Whatever may be the faults of the Salvation Army, it has no distinc~ tivc characteristic. It. conforms as far as possible to the sympathies of every country in which it labors. Now Bal- lington Booth aims at the spiritual con- quest of Canada by his American vol- unteers. He is likely to find that Cati- ada does not appreciate his ability to use international jealousies and hatreds for the furtherance of his designs.â€" Telegram. - A New Bullet. The British War Department was much disturbed to find that the stopping powers of their service rifle, the Lee- Mctfordfis so feeble that in the (lhitral campaign the soldiers lost confidence in their weapons. The bullet had great penetrativc power, but a great many of the tribesmen. hit by it advanced as though untouched, and it comparatively seldom caused instant death. One tribcsman whohad been hit by six bul- lets was treated in a hospital and made quick recovery.. Steps were soon taken by the War Department to devise a more destructive missile, and experiments have been madcwith a bullet having a metal covered point made thin, with a lead core slightly expo:<e<l., While the flight of the bullet through the air is not intcrfcrred with. as it strikes an ob",- jcct it spreads out, and has almost the terrific power of laceration of the ex- plosive bullet. A‘ French officer has endeavored to mike a compromise be- tween these two forms of projectiles by inventing a bullet having the maximum power of disabling and the minimum power of killing., It is made of paper, with a thin shell of aluminum. It has the same precision as the ordinary bul- let, but produces a perfectly smooth wound. The Austrian War Office is now making trials of the invention. I Cheap Labor. Labor is cheapest in India, where the wages of the l-tboriug classcs ttVt'r- age something like. 1:} cents per day. A faitlv skilled journeyman can earn ‘ about $3 a month. and a cool mechanic about. $4, or twice the pay of a native soldier. Domestic servants may be. had so cheaply. both as regards food and wages, that. a family which in America servants, could in India keep a whole rctinuc. in many parts of South Am- lerica Indian labor is to be llllzl for sands who know him as a big. bluff and about 4 cents a day; but after all the genial man who has never been afraid to tackle an." llnlitit‘al light. no matter| in China. . - it is ouc ofl China where labor is so cheap that it how arduous and sevi-re the Soon-what pathetic episodes in a loo-.- ; Pdllllt'al Life, “liv'l, covered wnh scars, . a vetrrau like Mr. Cook trons down.

The Prince of Wales has issued to the press a lengthy communication, in which he advocates the creation of a fund-to be called the Prince of Wales’ hospital fund for London. to commem- orate the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s acceSsion to the. throne. A man named James Biker was kilf- ed by an elephant at. a circus ia Dalston the other night. The animal first pin- ned him with his tusks against the wall The keeper then rushed to the rescue, driving the elephant of? with a shovel which he had been using for making up the animals' beds. But the brute returned to his victim, and, amid a scene ofiutensc excitement, drove his tusks twice through his temples. A Parsee sacred fire, which hadburn ed uninterruptedly for twelve centuries in the temple of Leigule, Persia, went out recently. Its worshippers interpret- ed the event as an omen of the plague which is destroying so many of their co-rcligionists in Bombay. John Giesen, a German, took a horse away from a crowd of boys at St. Louis, 1110., on February 4th, and drove it to his but and killed it for food. Giescu was out of work, and with his wife and four children was starving to death. The boys who followed Giesen saw him kill the animal, cut off the hind quarter and start to roast it. Gicsen told the policeman who arrested him that he and his fatnin had catcn nothing for three days. They had'eatcn no meat for months. .- One Hundred Dollars an Acre crm only be made from one sourceâ€"poultry. Wheat and corn do not pay. Perhaps you may smile, but have you cvcr‘kept hens atom.
