The books under the new contract will be the same exactly as those now in use. with the exception of the cover design. which will em- bu-ly a union jack. During the term of the contract a new series of read- ers will be compiled. The Govern- ment has not yet decided as to who Wlll select the subject matter, nut it is thought that expert educationists of high standing will be entrusted with the work, under the supervision of course of the Education Depart- ment, and that the Advisory Coun- cilof Education will also assist to some extent. , 2' ' E {(Toronto Globe.) The Canadian Publishing Company is one of the three firms now publish- ing the readers, the other two being the Copp. Clark Company and the W. J. Gage 65 Company. The successful tenderers accept the legislation of last seesion vesting in the Minister of Education copyrights used in the readers. The tenders for the publication‘for eighteen months from June 30th next of the Public School Readers. has let-n awarded to the Canadian Pub- lishing Company of this city. of which Mr. S. G Beatty is President. This decision was announced by Hon. Dr. Pyne, MiniSter of Education, at the close of a Cabinet meeting held yesterday ~fternoon. The prices of- fered by the company are far lower than even the most sanguine meg:- bers of the Cabinet had hoped for, and as a consequence there is considerable satisfaction in Government circles. which was voiced by Premier Whit- ney in an interview with the press at the close of the meeting. In the case of part one of the first readers the company’s tender for retail price is five cents, which is exactly one- half of the present price. For the Other four readers of the series the price is in every instance below one- half. In addition there is a discount of 2?) per cent. on one or more copies bought direcc from the publishers. and an aura discount of ten per cent. on all quantities purchased of the value of 82:30 and upwards. On the basis of the official reports of laSt year’s attendances it Was figured out by one Cabinet Minister that if only one reader is punchased by every reader in the respective forms there Will be an actual aggre ate cash sav- ing to the parents, who of course provide the money for the books, of $6C.OOO a year. Premier Whitney’s eXpression of Opinion on the contract was :â€"“It is very satisfactory to me. having regard to the statements and prom- ises made by me to the map“; of this Province form time to time during the past ten years that we would bring down the prices of school books or know the reason why.” “In response to your advertisement for tenders for the supply of the On- tario series of readers, known as the Public School Readers, for use in the public schools of Ontario for the term of one and a half years from June 30, 1907. There were eight or nine tenders in all, and they were received in re- sponse to public advertisements. The text of the successful tender was given out by the MiniSter of Educa- tion. and is as follows :â€" 3(a) We hereby offer and agree to supply the difierent books of the said series at the following retail prices :â€" For the Firm Reader (Part 1.), 5 cents; for the First Reader (Part II.) ‘7 cents; for the Second Reader, 9 cents; for the Third Reader. 13 cents; for the Fourth Reader, 15 cents; the said books, each and all of them, to be of the standard of the smaples submitted herewith.

An American tourist on a visit to GIaSgow, on emerging from the rail- way station. was accosted by a lad with a familiar shout of “Carry your bag sir?” The gentleman handed the bag and requested to be shown through Glasgow. Crossing George Square they came to Sir Walter Scott’s monument, and the boy said proudly “that is one of the largest monuments in Scotland.” ”0h” said the Yankee. with an air of in. difierence we have three penny cigars as big as that in America. They-got on a tram car going east and just as they alighted at the terminous a long circular piece of iron on a lorry drawn by twelve horses came up the street. VThe American, in surprise, asked what that was. The boy, re- membering what the Yankee had said about the cigars and with the resolve to be even with him, replied “oh. a new hotel has just been built in Trongate and that is the kitchen poker.” PREMIER WHITNEY SATISPED .

The angel of death again visited the home claiming as its victim Christopher Vanetta about 11.30 p. m. on Thursday laSt. His death did not cause surprise. as for the past two years he has been subjected-to temporary Spells of weakness. each one of which was thought would be his last but being possessed of a re markably tough vitality he struggled along until finally taking to his bed two weeks ago he gradually sank until he quietly passed away. He claimed to be in his 89th year but, having no records he probably was not more than 84 or Si) years old. The Rev. J. S. I.

The deceased was admitted to the home in August 1904. Miss Ruby Stone, of Stone’s Line. spent from Sunday till Monday morn- ing with her sister, Miss Robinson, of the staff.

Not long ago a Kansas City steno grapher learned that the railroad for which she was working was deter- mined to extend its line. says the Kansas City Star. She had a friend living in the town through which the line was to run Aletter to him with her savings would have enabled him to buy at a low price the land the road needed, and the peculiar nature of the ground in thatxneigh- borhood would have enabled him to sell at a great profit. It would have been a business move on the part of the girl, but she would gain her mongv by the betrayal of the confi- dence of her‘ emyloyers. She did not consider the thing more than a min- ute, and then decided that it would be a dishonorable thing to do. Another stenographer in a laréze real estate otfice became aware of a deal in which $150,000 was involved. Certain information she possessed would be worth thousands to the other parties. They made a few ad vances and hinted at rewards as high as $5,000 for her betrayal of her firm- She indignantly refused and told her employers of the scheme. It never entered the mind of that young wo- man to betray her trust. Industrial Home Notes. Another stenographer was offered $1 000 for 00pies of three letters which she had written. A lawsuit in which her employers were involved might have gone against them had the Opposing party been able to se- cure the information contained 1n the three letters. The lawyer for the other side laid 10 $100 bills on her mother’s table and told her the? were hers for the permission to read the letters. The 'girl scorned the of- fef as an-attempt to bribe her to do a dishonorable and dishonest act. and she never even. told her employers about it. â€"Globe. FAITHFUL STENOGRAPHERS YOUR WISEST COURSE. (By an Inmate.) . 20th May. snow falling. THE DURHAM CHRONICLE SUMMERLESS YEAR IN CANADA. (Flaneur in Mail and Em ire ) ‘ "‘W. P. B. ” Toronto, writes ~â€" Dear Flaneur,-â€"The present cold spring has made many think that it surpasses those of other years, but a little enquiry will soon prove that it is not so many yearssince we had similar weather. Lremember taking a trip to Barry on the 24th of May, 1888, when I the trees and vegetation were not so advanced as they are at the present writing, but which was followed by a fairly warm summer. 4 But to show what may possibly happen again I en- close a clipping from the Woodstock Sentinel-Review, of May 28th 1901, in which is a description of the spring and summer of 1816, which must. in- deed, have been a terrible one. If you think it will not be too long for your valuable space you are welcome to give it to your readers : The article sent me is too long to reproduce en tire, but here is an extract which I think will suit the case : it’ap- peared in the‘ Sentinel-Review (VVood- stock) on May 28th, 1901 :â€" The unreasonable character of the weather of the past four or five days is a matter for regret. it has spoiled the holiday season, Which is looked upon as extending over the period during which the cheap rates on the railways hold. Instead of enjoying excursions into the country, which at this particular time usually looks its best, we have had to go about in over- coats and wraps. "Are we never to have summer?” is a question constant- ly asked. Of course, it seems a foolish query, but it may be news to many to learn that there was once a summer- less year in Canada. The \Veekly Sun the other day interviewed Benjamin D. \Valdbrook, of the Township of Trafalgar, in Halton County, whom it describes as “a man whose memory forms one of the most complete links connecting the Ontario of to-day with the Ontario of pioneer times.” “The spring of 1816,” he told a representative of the Sun. “was probably as [womising as is the outlook to-day. But the bril- liant promises of early summer in that season was speedily followed by the blackness of despair. That was the ‘summerless year.’ Snow commenced falling in the middle of June, by the middle of August it was a foot in depth, and from the first fall in June until the following spring the earth remained under the covering of the wintry blanket. Absolutely nothing in the way of harvest was garnered, everything in the way of crops rotting in the ground.” Though it is neither a pleasant or adesirable tapic to discuss, the in- stances of ladies being molested on the streets in town after dark, by in- solent men make it necessary that steps be taken to amp the all too pre- vailing nuisance. The perpetrators doubtless belong to the floating pop ulation who congregate in a factory town. or it may be that the building of a new railroad through here has resulted in the bringing in of many undesirable characters. No serious cases have been reportld, but it is none the less unpleasant to have some seedy looking individual profier his undesirable company to a lady after dark. A slapped face would be the proper rebufi and would serve to iconvince the cheeky individual that his absence was preferable to his c.0mpany Special {steps should be itaken to run this class down in every instance. and the victims will serve the town’ a best intereSts by calling for help from the nearest source. Within the past week a couple of. cases have been reported, and if the oEenders are caught there will be trouble. There has been too much leniency in the treatment of molest- ation, and a more generous dose of hard labor at the Central Prison or the County Jail should be adminis- tered the culprits In the meantime until a perpetrator is caught. the la dies of the town who are compelled to be out after dark unattended should endeavor not to become hys terical but coolly assist as far as pos sible in chasing the undesirable class of miscreants out of town. The local police should keep their eyes open for there is work for them if this kind of thing continues.â€"â€"-P03t. Men. women and girls engaged in stores, who have to be on their feet all day, often sufier agonies from chafing sores, soft cornes. horny patches, etc. In other cases long standing or walking leads to bad legs varicose veins and ulcers. Zam-Buk takes the pain out of chafeld sores, prevents suppuration and poison from stocking-dye, and generally heals. Mrs. K. Watkins, of 26 Forgue Avenue. Montreal, says: “ My boy had a. sore on his heel which was rubbed by 1113 stocking until it be- came a very bad wound, Zam-Buk took the soreness out almost instant- ly, and healed the wound up wonder- fully.” Zam-Buk is equally good for cuts. bruises, eczema. scalp sores, itCh. barber’s rash, blood poison and all skin injuries and diseases.
