This subject has been brought before the House of Lords by the Archbishop of Canterbury, moving for a select com- mittee to enquire into the subject and how it has been affected by recent legis- lation and Other causes. He was in- duced to bring forward the question by a memorial 'signed by 8,000 clcrgy of the Established Church. The motion was supported by Lords Houghtou, Aber- deen and Belmorc, and the Bishop of Carlisle. Lord Salisbury, whilst cou- fessing that he saw no practical good to be derived from the motion, would not oppose it. He disapproved of paternal legislation, and was of opinion that the most efleclual means of mitigating the evil complained of was extended educaâ€" tion and religious teaching. In the course of discussion, the Bishop of Peter» borough remarked: “ that although llk' might possibly incur fresh unpopulariiy by it, if he were compelled to make a choice between freedom and sobriety, he should choose the former, and‘he never could support unwise and injudicious legislation intended for suppressmg free. dom, even though they might gain the advantage of sobriety. He did not adâ€" vocate intcmperancc, but he must say that when every one was saying ihcyl must do something, WlillIJuL" defining: what it. was, it behovcd the Government to pause before, they attempted anything: in the shape of crude legislation. The only way of dealing with it was by mak ing it quite free, and visiting drunken ness with severe punishment, or else prohibiting it altogether by a Maine 'Liquor Law.” We feel inclined to think that the views expressed by the Bishop of Pctcrborough are in the main correct, more especially in the view of the experience we have had of what is .known as the “ Crooks’ ” License Act, in this province. 1 l From the reports of Inspectors of Mines, for the year 1875, of Great Britain and Ireland, the aggregate num- 7 ber of persons eiupluyeo during the year, , working above and below gmuud in the ‘1 coal, fireâ€"clay, brimstonc and slate mines, were 535,845 ; of these, 427,017 ‘ were employed under ground, and 108,â€" 282 (of whom (5,504 were females) emâ€" ployed above ground, thus showmg, as pompared with the respective number during 1874, v a decrease of 2,984â€" namcly, mnlcs 2,589, and females 395. 133,306,485 tons of coal; 1.932294 tons of fire-clay; 12,018,594 tons of brimsicuc, and 442,940 tons of slate, etc, were produced in the mines. Com- paring these figures with the year 1874, an increase is shown of coal 6,710,377 ’t'ous. The fatal accidents amounted to 92,7, and the deaths occasioned thereby reached 1,243,, showing an increase with the number of lives lost in 1874 of 188. One death happened amongst every 430 employed. I The returns show alcss number of persons employed in 1875 than 187$, but there was an increase of 169 mines working, 'and the quantity of mineral raised exceeded that of 1874 by 6,986,â€" 431 tons. The Convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association met last week in ‘ 'Fl‘Cil'ODlO. There were present delegates from thirty states, provindes, districts "and territories to the number of 350 ; _ representing" 147 Associations, of which twenty-one are in :Quebcc and one in Nova Scotiu.

CREDIT AND CASH.“ A grocer in the town of Santa. Clara, 03.1., has adopted an original method of business. Each side of the store is fitted up for business on its own account. In the general arrangement each side is a duplicate of the other, the difference be- ing that one side is cash and the other credit. When a customer comes in, the first question asked is, “Do you wish to buy for cash or on account 7” If it is a cash customer, the goods and prices on the cash side are shown, but if it is one who wants credit, he is shown to the other side, and made to realize the value of ready money. .- WOODEN PAVEMENTS. l After a suflicient comparative trial, the contest between granite, asphalt, and wood for carriage ways has been decided in favor of the last, and the recent con- clusicm of the Corporation of London ggliulluml. , AWL.» . ADVICE TO YOUNG POULTRY BREEDERS. After years of care and patient watch- ing I am prepared to advisc all to make up their minds as to what they want, to to buy as neurwcs they can, and then undertake to work-up ideal themselves. The men who do this are the successful men in poultry breeding, as well as in all other branches of buincss. There are two productions for which fowcl are always in demandâ€"laying eggs, and for ‘poultry, so it is well to keep the breed ‘in the best condition possible, for one or both of these branches of business. And if you can at the same time have them please the fancy of tho fancier, so much the better, as they make boiler customers usual for surplus stock than the butcher. In some localities eggs are worth more than poultry, and it is doâ€" sirablc to have them at :1 particular time of the year. For eggs production the nonâ€"sittch Should be chosen, and they will produce eggs when wanted, and in quantities to suit if properly fed and otherwise cared for. If curly poultry is wanted, the non-sitters of good size are the best to breed from, but if you want to raise poultry to ship late in tall or winter, choose the short-logged Asizitics. I prefer :1 short, stout leg on any fowel. The bodies of such fowcl may not be so stylish, but they mean business, andl keep fowcl for profit. There are several biddics of my acquaintance well up to ten years of agoâ€"of various breeds, and cocks five years and more, vigorous as ever. luvariublc such are low and broad, computed with what would be called fancy chickens of some breeds, by fanciergâ€"F’. J.Kinncy, in Poultry Argus. 0L1) IRON. Various good effects are said to be pro- duced by the application of old nails. blacksmith’s waste, iron filings and the like to the roots of the fruit trees. It is thought. by some to check the black- kuot in the plun, and blight iu the pear. There are wcll»:1tlcstcd instances ofits inducing fruitfulucss in barren trees. It is even said that hanging pieces of old iron in barren trees has made them blos- som and bear fruit. We scurccly bc licvc this, while we have no doubt that the application of old iron waste to the roots of trees as beneficial in more ways than one. It will ccrlainly do good as s mulch, cveu ifit adds no elements of productivcness to the soil. ‘ Ibshkyw, The practical use of fancy work is shown in the dull rooms brightened by gay bunches of wax leaves and flowers ; in the old chairs made fresh and attracs may be regarded as a. final COWW‘Wâ€"pmttzpwmught coverings ; in the of that decision. Mr. Heywood, engi- neer for the city, has shown that before a. horse falls he may be expected to travel on granite 132 miles, on asphalt 191 miles and on wood 446 miles; and although between the two last materials there is a. trifling advantage in the cost on the side of asphalt, that is much more than, counterbalanced in other ways. In easy traction and the absence of noise there is no comparTson between wood and granite and since the surface water has been kept out by means of asphalt, wood has become the most durable of pavements. The rapidity with which it can be laid and the ease with which it can be repair- ed are not the least of its merits, while the flooring of planks, which is now laid. as a. superstructure, gives great elasti- city, and, by distributing the weight over the whole pavement, adds to its power of endurance.

The exact proportion of physical and intellectual strength should be gauged, and the coustitutioiml Weak- ness, or, in other words, the «lismse toward which a tendency exists, should be ascertained. Preserve, if possible, the ubsulutc necessity for exercise. Halve your place of business two orihrec miles away, over which let nothing tempt you to an omnibus or car, save rain. From thirty-five to forty five a mun should arrange with his food and avoid hypo- chond1in. He cannot, it is true, change his predisposition to particular comâ€" plaints, but. he can manage it. The habitual character or food, no loss than its quantity begins to toll whether it charges the system with fat, muscle, sincw, fibre, or watery particles. From forty~fivc to fifty-five tho recuperative powers should be encouraged and develop- ed. There is nothing like work to keep an old horse.

ATKINSONl CONCRETE HOUSE, Richmond Hill. In some localities small, black ants. are very troublesome, early in the sum- mer. They get into every sweet and sweetened thing to which they can find access, and though they tumble into the syrup and commit suicide, in droves as It were, by droves are their lessening num-. bers reinforced. Do they smell out the sugar, and molasses, and preserves 1 Give. them something else to smell. Lay sage leaves or tansy leaves upon your pantry shelves, or in the cupboard, where the sweet things stand, and the fastidious invaders of your sugar-bowl will prefer to go elsewhere in search of food. Only the tightest fitting covers can keep them out. But I am told by one who says she has tried it, that a. little line drawn with chalk on the shelf around an open sugarâ€"bowel proves an impassible barrier to the ants. A dish set into a saucer or plate of water is protected from ants. There is a. little red ant found in some places, which meddles with all kinds of. grease, as well es, With sweets.
