Newspaper men in soliciting advertising are often met with the statement, “ I don’t need to advertise just now ; I am unable to fill my orders ; when business begins to Islacken up I shall, perhaps, avail myself of your columns.” It is the old story of the leaky roof, which did not need repairing when the weather was fair, and could not be repaired while it rained. The wisest business men and the most successful ones are those who keep their names prominently before the public when trade is good as well as when poor. The time to boom a town is when everybody is interested in it. When the interest fails, one might as well try to sweep back the advancing waves of the ocean, as to withstand the stampede of waning confidence. When trade is driving is the time to make one’s business so well known that when the dull season comes there will still be customers to keep the manufac- turer busy. Said a business man : “ I must advertise if I would get good results , from my men on the road. Before I ad. vertised, my travellers entering an office would be told ‘ we are not acquainted with your house,’ and in many cases found that they could not secure an order which, per- chance, would be given to a competitor beâ€" fore their eyes. As soon as I began to ad- vertise I had a different experience. My men found that it was equivalent to a letter of introduction from a mutual friend. ‘ Oh yes, we have noticed your advertisement, and we feel acquainted with your house.‘ In this influence alone our advertising pays.’ " This is no unusual experience. Men will deal with those whom they know, or of whom they have heard so much that they feel ao- quainted. Catalogues may find lodgment onVa shelf, but the constant arrival of a reputable journal is a constant and sure reminder which sooner or later must bear fruit. It is the non-advertiser who com- plains of hard times. When everybody is rushed, it is no trick to secure custom, it is when his neighbors are idle, that the man who has wisely kept his name and goods before the public, finds himself so well known that he gets his full share of what patronage is to be hadâ€"Dixie.

The last case is similar to the first, except that the husband lived with his wife three days. The petitioner is Christiana Filman Glover, of Burlington. She married Chris- topher Columbus Glover on April 4th, 1874. After living with her three days, Glover sent her to her father’s farm and went off with Harriet Glover. of Michigan, where he now lives. There is one child. A dissolution of marriage on the ground of assertion and of untaithfulnese is asked for. Hughes Forbes Keefer, contractor, of Vancouver, tells a. similar story in his peti- tion. He married Rebeoon. Ann 'I isdall. of Strnthroy, at Thorold, on March 2nd, 1871, and has two children, one eighteen )ears old and the second sixteen. He ohnrgea infidelity during his absences from home in 1882 and 1883. The next petition is that of a husband to be divorced from a. runaway wife. The petitioner, David Clepp, of Harrieton, mer- ried in November, 1870, Alice M. Maodon- old, of Picton. Rev. W. Lewin presided at the ceremony. The parties lived together happily until March 16th, 1887. or for nearly seventeen years, whenthe misguided wife went (ff to Detroit and lived an irregular life. There are two children living, one nineteen years old and the other sixteen. The first is from Emily Walker. nee Herald, of Hamilton. She deposes that when under the age of 21 she married at Dundas, Rev. G. A. Fomeret being the celebrant, Alfred Percy Walker, who was also under 21. She adds : " Said _ mar- riage ceremony was performed without the knowledge or consent of the mother of your petitioner, and your petitioner’s father, who died betore the marriage took place, never approved of it, and the said marriage has never since been ratified or confirmed.” After the marriage it appears the husband went straight off to Guelph, leaving his spouse as it were at the church door. He then went to Texas, and is now supposed to be in fraoklyn. Walker has since refused to live with his wife, and his wife has no hope that he will come to her. Hence the application for divorce. _ An Ottawa despntoh says: The preli- minary movements towards the securing of What may be termed melancholy legisla- tion were made today. four divorce peti- ions having beenA presented ._ Married Couples Who Seek to be Divorcrd, Art Education in New York.

A Hopeless Case. “Each member of the society carries a. little memorandum book with her and puts down how often certain young men attend church and prayer meeting during the month. These reports are filed with the Secretary, and at the end of six months or a year it is known to all the members just how many times n certain young man went to church. although in all probability the individual himself would not be able to tell how many times he attended divine wor- ship. It a young man is seen going in or coming out of a saloon this fact is reported also.” The Secretary says efforts will be made to establish similar societies all over the country, which will hnve the effect of call- ingahult to the work of the bigamiat.â€"â€" Washington Post. “The only time this rule is broken is when the girl tires of the man‘s society. Then she sends a ‘relesse’ card to the Secretary, and the men is free property once more. Within the last six months there were two ‘ release’ cases. The ladies gave Iheir lovers up, and the letter became acquainted with other members of the society and married them. After a lady once ‘releesee’ a. man she cannot be the complainant against him in any {future trouble that may arise questioning the gen- tleman’s character. If you are wise, if you hope that the future holds much for youI you will learn to be particular as to your partner in danc- ing. Dance with no man with whom you have only a ball-room acquaintance, and if you are really anxious to gain the respect of the people in your own set, you will number among partners only your brothers, or some very intimate friends. It‘s all very well to say there is no harm in dancing. There isn’t. But there is harm in having about you, a sweet pure girl, kept as much as possible from the wickedness of the world, the arm of a man who may be profligale, and not possess the first instinct of a gentleman. He may. as you say, dance divinely, but even for a partner in a round dance, more than that is necessary. My little girl, dancing indiscriminately will teach you to forget how to blush, and with that knowledge departs one of your greatest charms. Dance, sing and be merry, but remember, not only, does the world judge us by the company we keep. but just as you and I are made better and anler by being with those who are true and good, so we are insensibly made meaner and poorer in heart and brain when we consort with those of less degree in morals.â€"â€"Ladies’ Home Journal. " No member of the society can receive the attention of a. new-comer in town until his pedigree is first obtained. 'Ihe dudes and mashers are also provided Against. It oftentimes happens that a. young men will pay marked attention to a young lady and then suddenly leave her for another. In this way some good marriages are delayed. Under the rules of the society no member can receive the attentions of a man who is known to be making love to another mem- ber (lathe society. “ What is still worse, the men is black- listed, and every member of the society knows by this that there is a. dark side to his character, alzhough only the committee appointed to investigate his case knows all his faults. If a. man is poor financially. and in is thought he cannot support a. wife, he is marked ‘ church mouse.’ The mean- ing of this is that if 3 girl wants to put up on ‘churoh mouse’ fare she can.

Three months after the marriage it was found that the man was not a model, but a. villain. He had been living a. dual life.

It afl'ords me pleasure to state that the rev- enue derived from the timber dues and the sale 0! Crown lands considerably exceeds the esti- mate submitted to the assembly last session. In February last I issued 111% proclamation declar- ing in force the “Rainy iver Free Grants and Homesteads Act,” and at a later period of the yearI approved of an Order-in-Oouncil approâ€" griating under the Act twenty townships in that istrict for the purpose of tree grants. I also issued a commission to take ev1dence and re- port upon the claims of settlers along the Rainy River. The commissioners examined into and took evidence respecting numerous claims. and patents are being issued to such settlers as have performed the conditions of settlement. A com- mission was also issued to investigate disputed claims to mining and other locations in Rat Portage and the territor contiguous thereto. Many claims wereinquire into and much evi- dence was taken and patents are being issued to applicants who have established their claims and complied with the conditions of sale. ONTARIO' S MINERAL “WEALTH. The public interest in the mineral wealth of the province continues to increase. The immense deposits of silver, iron, copper and nickel recently discovered or developed have attracted the attention of capitalists and others interested in mining in Europe and emeri a. As a. result large investments are being made in developing our mineral resources, and both cap- ital and labor are finding remunerative employ- ment in that connection. Measures relating to the sale of mining locations and to regulate min- ing operations Will be presented for your consid- eration. I am glad to know that the completion of two of the asylum cottages at Mimitm, together with enlarged accommodation at the London asylum, have perlnitted the removal of all those lunatics temporarily confined in the jails of the province who have been certified to be proper subjects for asylum treatment. Six cottages, providing further accommodation for 350 atients, are in course of construction, and w ll probably be completed during the present year. COUNTY POOR HOUSES. Public attention has of late years been directed to the inadequate provision by county municipalities for the care and support of the aged, helpless and poor within their boundaries, only nine countles having yet availed them- selves of the provisions of law authorizing the establishment of industrial farms and houses of industry and refu e in connection therewith. Organized philant ropy in the larger centres of population has provided institutions for the care of such persons in these localities, and Provincial aid to many of these institutions has been extended under our Charity Aid Act. With a view to encouraging the erection of county houses of refuge in connection with industrial farms, and of thereby relieving the jails of this unfortunate class of their inmates, a measure will be submitted for your considera- tion, providing for a grant from Provincial funds of a sum not exceeding $4.000 towards the cost in every county or union of counties availing itself of the Act, the grant to be subject to such conditions as you may deem fitting. The Bill will also provide to the case of coun- ties which have already esta lished a house of refuge. ‘ It having been alleged that the regulations of the Education Department requiringinstruotion in Englirh to be given in all the public schools of the Province were not observed in certain localities in which the French language pre- vails, commissioners were appointed to visit these schools, to re ort on the facts and to con- sider in what way t 19 study of English might be most successfully promoted among the pupils whose mother tongue is French. The same com- missioners were afterwards directed to visit the German schools 01' the Province and to report in like manner regardingthem. Their reports will be submitted to you. as well as certain regula- tions for giving practical eflect to the recom- mendations of the commissioners, so far as this could be done by immediate executive action. You will be asked to make the grant which is necessary for the establishment of a training school in Eastern Ontario, as recommended by the commissioners. WESTERLY BOUNDARY OF THE PROVINCE, ard finally settling the northerly boundary as well as the westerly in substantial accordance with the award of the arbitrators in 1878. The eople of Ontario cannot but experience a feel- ing of relief that we have at last reached the final stage of this long protracted dispute be- tween the Province and the Dominion, and that the territorial limits claimed by the Province have been definitely secured for all time. DOMINION AND PROVINCIAL ACCOUNTS. I regret that owing to the attitude of the Dominion with respect to the question of interest there now appears little probability of settlement of accounts between the two Governments being arrived at through negotiation. and proposals have accordingly been made on the part of the Province to refer to arbitration the points in dispute. The correspondence on the subject will be laid before you. It is also a matter of disappointment that the Quebec Government declines to concur in any arrangement for setâ€" tling our diflerences as to the Land Improve- ment Fund,‘and steps have in consequence been taken to have them settled through the courts. THE FARMERS NOT PRQBPEROUS. I regret that the agricultural industry. the ‘ most important in the Province. is still in a de- pressed condition. Untoward climatic conditions in extensive sections of the Province blighted i the hopes that were entertained in the early ‘ portion of the year of an abundant harvest. This, with the continued low prices of cereals and other (38.11805. has tended to preventthat improve- ment in the condition of those engaged in this industry which had been hoped for. It is pleas- ing to note, however, that in the manufacture oi cheese, our great agricultural staple, Ontario holds a foremost place, the product of Ontario ranking in point of quality among the best oifered on the English market,and the Dominion trade tables showing that the yearly value of cheese exports, which are chiefly from Ontario, is far in excess of the aggregate value of all the manufactures exportedby the Dominion. I rejoice to know that in every branch of agri- culture, our farmers are cvincing a growing ap- preciation of intelligent methods. and the con. tinued success of farmers’ institutes is one of the evidences of astron 1y prevailing desire to Erofit by practical in ormation on economic usbandry. ACTION ON THE SCHOOL COMMISSIONERB' IIEI‘ODT. Your attention will be invited to the consid- eration of changes in the law relating to the assessment of property for municipal taxation. Steps have been taken to procure a general expression of opinion from the various Muni- cipai Councils and Boards of Trade throughout the Province on the vexed question of exemp- tions from local assessment, and a measure on this subject will be submitted which will, I trust, meet with your approval. OTHER MEASURES PROMISED. Amen other measures there will also be sub,- mitted or your consideration a bill to facilitate the speedy determination of important consti- tutional questions, a billfor the further improve- ment of the liquor liCcnse laws, and a bill relating to the license of cullers and the measure- ment at sswlogs. The public accounts for the past year will be promptly laid before you. You will be pleased to learn that the expenditure has been kept within the amount granted, and that the revenue has exceeded the amount anticipated.

The one thing that annoyed him and made his heart heavy was the fact that he could not wear a four-button cutaway, and he is not the only fat man whose heart has ached.

All the dudes except Berry Wall, and Berry is not buy- ing any clothes now, are being measured for Prince Alberts. The Prince Albert gives them a Parliamentary air, don’t you know. and as the young men now are affecting politics this gives a distinction that they would not get in a four-button cutaway or a short sack. “ Mr. Jaysmith," remarked that gentle- man‘s mother-in-law as she entered the office and drew up a chair, “my daughter was surprised and grieved at the condition you went home in last night, or rather earlithig morgjng.”_ “ Yes," repliecf J aysmith, cheerfully. “ She didn‘t know I was loaded.” Only a substitute.

A few minutes later he appeared at the attic. window, and Mulrooney, raising his lad- der, mounted to the rescue. In the meantime Gorley's wife had reached the street. Gorleypsssed three of the children out of the window to Mulrooney, who assisted them to the sidewalk. By this tiine smoke was pouring out of the window in dense volumes, and when Mulrooney turned to receive the fourth child he could not see Gorley. He plunged his body hall through the window, reached out h1s arm and touched Gorley, but he fell forward with a. scream and disappeared. The heroic fireman could discern one of the remaining children tangled in an iron bedstead, but was powerless to reach it. The bodies of the four victims were recovered horribly burned.

Mr Wilson (Elgin), in movmg for the returns a to the tolls collected at Port Stanley. drew attention to the neglected state of the harbor. The Minister was dealing unfairly by these people, and the trade was being forced ofl the lakes. The result was that Port Stanley was degenerat. ing. It was true that the harborhad been handed over to the London & Port Stanley Railway, but it was the duty of the Government to force the railway to attend to this port. ‘ Mr. Somerville said he understood that the Secretary of State had admitted to the printer» that the present arrangement cost more this}: the old sysfipm. 7 r Mr. Wilson (Elgin), in moving for papers respecting the proposal to convert Kettle creek into a canal between St. Thomas and ‘ Port Stanley, said he could hardly conceive ‘ that anyone was foolish enough to ccnceiva such a project practicable. He understood that the engineers found that this canal would have to be 300 feet deep at St. Thomas. That, of course, would be a diffi- culty, but the ingenious Minister of Public Works might be able to overcome it. Then there was a scarcity of water in Kettle creek, and it would either have to be brought from the Thames by boring twenty miles or from the lake. What was to be gained ‘ by a canal from St. Thomas to Port Stan. l ley ? There was no traffic between the places and the proposition was absurd, and he was surprised that the Minister of Public Works should be so far deceived as to send his elngineers to survey the route of the cam . Sir Hector Lsugevin said the question was whether the road belonged to the Gov- ernment of Canada or the Government of Ontario. This had been a diflioult matter to look into. Sesrohes had now been oom- pleted and the papers would shortly be laid before the Minister of Justice for his Opinion. Mr. Bain, (Wentworth), in asking for re- turns, said that the correspondence as to the ownership of the Waterloo and Dundas Road had been going on since 1885. Owing to the unsettled state of the ownership the road was in a very bad state and people had to pay tell at four gates. For the five years the matter had been in dispute people had been compelled to carry on systematic warfare against the present holder, in order to compel him to keep it in some sort of condition. It was a serious local irritation to be forced to pay toll for a road that was thus neglected. He hoped ‘ the Minister would try and urge on his de- partment and get this matter settled. The estimates were referred to the Com- mi_t_tee_of_8upp_ly. the estimates for the year ending June 315:, 1891.

When your sweetheart comes to see you don’t be foolish enough to confine your sweetness to him alone. Have him in where all the rest of the household are. Let the talk and the chatter and the music and the playing of games be in the home circle. Then the few minutes that he gets with you by yourself will seem all the more delightful. and he will think you the most loving little ores- ture in the world. Men are much more observant than they are credited with being, and the man worth having asahusband is the one who will appre- ciate your love for those of your own people, and will see that as you makea small part in one home you are becoming adapted for the central figure in another. Never say that you don’t expect a man to marry your whole family. It’s vulgar. You do. That is, if you are a good daughter and a loving sister. You want him to be one with you in sympathy and in sfiection, and as you take his name, so you assume responsibilities as far as his people are concerned.â€"Ladiec’ Home Journal. â€"Adam Forepungh was an illiterate man, but he never smoked nor chewed hbacoo, nor did he use intoxicating liquors.
