To balance this, we hereby invite the daughters of Toronto to write to us on the subject, “The Kind of Sonâ€"in Law I should Choose for My Mother" All letters on the subject should be brief. We know how it is with girlsâ€"they will write cute letters and then tear them up and try again, with the result that they will not, send letters at all.

The news of the Queen's accession to the throne did not much Canada until forty-one days after me event T v0 news of, her death in Gama-lat was known within half-un-mmr of its occurrence. This is indicative cf the change that has been wrought in the world during her reign. As a. lightning change artist this winter boats anything on the. stage. A science note from Washington says that the sun will have burnt, out, in 3.000.000 years. The coal men will bv glad to hear this.

The Farming World tells the cheese- makers of Canada that. in order to keep up the magnificent exliort trade which has been built up on their proâ€" duct, they must pay close. attention to its quality. One of the troubles is that cheese is shipped too green. A few years ago there was a demand for a softer and more meaty quality of cheese, a good deal of the product at that time being rough. harsh and dry. Many of them have now gone to the other extreme that. is deficient in keeping qualities. To make ’a soft, meaty cheese, it is necessary that the. maker should be able to control the temperature of the curing room. Otherwise. unless the cheese is made firm and dry, it quickly loses ‘its flaVor. An improvement in cur- ing rooms is therefore the remedy indicated by the writeru Kitchener. so the story runs. stud- ied fighting originally to help France. for which country he had at boyish affection.

On the New Year Willie Mugging Swore ofl' gcorching on his wheel, And the clear boy had intended To his promise to be lea]. But the reaper took poor Muggins, Making of his promise nil. So that. in the depths of winter Willie Huggins searches still. A European traveller tells of the following epitaph which he read on a. tombstone in England: "Here liesâ€": he was born a man. but died a grocer." The man had disappear- ed in his calling. We often find} that a man's vocation has swnllowed him: that it, has completely over- __whe1med him; that. there is nothing left of him for any purpose. outside his occupation. It is a contemptible estimate of a vocation to regard it as the means of getting a living. The man who is not greater than his call- ing, who does not overtop his vo- cation; so that; it, runs ot’er on all sides, is not successful. A man should be greater than the books he writes, greater than any speech he makes, than any house he builds. or any sermon he. preaches. Parliament and the legislature are both about to meet: and we rocom- mend the members of both the words of Benjamin Franklin: “Dost, thou love life? Then, (10 not, squan- der time. for that, is the stuff life is made of." The mistake mothers make when they seek to pick out husbands for their daughters is in supposing be- cause they understand one man that therefore they know them all. But no two are alike. At. the next. session of the Ontario Legislature. the gowrmm-nt will probably make a grant to a rail- road projc-ctcd into the Temiscaming country. This district is rapidly filling: up with good settlers. but. it is isolated for six or sow-n months of the year, on account of lack of transportation. The only outlvt is by steamer down lake Tcmiscaming, and on by rail to Mattawa. T he new road is to go into the district from North Bay, A number of Tor- onto capitalists who hau- m, their back the magnau-s oi 11w Grand Trunk railway, are behind the scheme, and they are. Said to have the assurance of hearty gou-rmncnt support. Tho story of the church in Alabama which had over our of its doors the words: “This is the Gate of Heav- 99 en, with the modifying posteript some distance below: "This Door Closed in Winter Time." recalls a somewhat similar story which (‘unli- nal Manning used to tell of his pub- lishers. He was a man who did not keep his own books in any great number on his private shelves. and so one day found it, necesmry to go to his publishers for a copy of his Volume. “Confidence in God." To his surprise this conversation took place in the loudest voices bOlVVt'Cn the front and back oflices. the men calling to each other at the top of their lungs : "Say. you. send up some of Manning's ‘(.‘ontidt-nm- in God? ” "Can't do it. Manning's ’Confidence in God' is all gone." As an illustration of tho modcrn methods of treatment of consump- tivcs at the sunatorium aL Graven- hurst, it is interesting to learn that during the recent cold snap. with the thermometer at twenty below Zorn. some of the patients lived and slam in tonts, not merely without. incon- vcnicnco, but with positive enjoyâ€" ment, preferring this regimental life to ordinary comfortable dwellings.

One gratifying feature of the past two months’ business is that cash customers are finding this store a good place to spend their cash in, as no bonuses are paid for trade, and credit accounts are only run now on shorter datings.
