Biar Mona/g Mada in Our Lumber Regi ons- Some Snmp’ie 'I‘rnnsaellonsâ€"l’lne Rapidly Disupprurlug. rm Ottawa, esrrespomlent says : The last of the “ square timber ” rafts of the season have passed down the Ottawa, and the last of the great “drives ” of logs in the Ottawa and Gatineau rivers have come down these steams and jomed the already enormous ac. cumulations in the booms within a. few miles of this city. Most of the " cut” of timber in the woods last winter was, as usual, a. big step further away than in previous years. Every year sees additional miles added to the now great distances which must he traveled by those in quest oi the timber that is annually sawed here. Year by year the forests are failing further back and the available timber becomes less choice. A generation ago pine for the mills was being out within gunshot of Otthwa. Now the nearest limits are hundreds of miles distant. An area of pine timber half as large as France has been cut downâ€"not the are.“ but the timberâ€"by the lumber firms of this city within the lifetime of their present members. Some of the rafts that have pass- ed here this season came four hundred and fifty miles The pine forests of Maine, northern New York and Pennsylvania have been sub- stantially swept away. Those of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which are now the chief lumbering states, furnishing fully one-half the lumber of the Union, last year put out 9,000,000,000 feet, the industry in these three States employing in all its forms over one hundred thousand men. It can be imagined that these north-Western forests are disappearing pretty rapidly, too. The case is similar in Ontario and Quebec, where the annual cut is probably as large. Probably the very best way to give an idea. of the rate at which the forests in~the Ottawa. Valley are disappearing, and the proportionate rate at which they are ad- vancing in value, is to quote recent deals in timber limits. These appear to illus- trate the rapid disappearance of the forests between here and Georgian Bay, the rich- est pine district in the world. A.loca.l lum barman gave the following facts regarding transfars of timber lim in regen; yen}: _ “ William Mackcy. a prominent citizen of Ottawa, bought for $300 the Amable du Fond timber limit, 130 square miles, on the Mattawa River, a tributary of the Upper Ottawa, thirty-one years ago. He has held it since, occasionally cutting a. lit- tle timberâ€"enough, latterly, to bring him in a. few thousand dollars a. year. Eight or ten years ago, Mr. Mackey was offered and refused “76,000 for the limit. This was not a bad advance on the $300 paid for it some twenty years previously ; but a. couple of weeks ago a bid of three-quarters of a. million dollars came to Mr. Mackey for this same limit. And gauged by the advance in value of other limits in the same period, this enormous appreciation in value is not exceptional. “ Mossom Boyd, 8. Michigan lumberman, in 1886, paid $86,000 for 63 square miles of pine timber on the north side of Lak. Nipissing, which afiords an outlet for logs to Georgian Bay, whence the logs are raft- ed across Lake Huron to the Michigan saw mills. Boyd dld not cut any timber on this limit. He held it until last year untouched, when he sold it for $450,000 to Davis & Hay, of Toronto. Six yesrs brought him a. profit of 400 per cent., or over $360,000. Timber limits cost little to hold, as unless when timber is cut, the dues are infinitesimal and there are no taxes. “ The Hon. Peter \Vhite, of Pembroke. Speaker of the Dominion House of Com- mons, bought a limit, of 150 square miles on the Magnassippi river, near Mantawa, from David Ball fifteen years ago, for $72,000. Uncil last year he cut steadily in its, taking out. from first; to last probably a quarter of a milhon dollars, worth of timber. Last year he sold this fairly well cropped terri- tory to the Humman firm, of Ottawa, for another qzlarger of a‘mrllien. “ John R. Booth, President ofthe Canada. Atlantic and the Parry Sound railways, is reputed to be worth six to eight million dol- lars made in lumbering, partly through the appreciation in value of timber limits. BOUGHT CHEAP IN OLDEN DAYS. He has at Ottawa. the largest lumber mill in the world, employing twelve hundred men. Take one specimen transaction of his in timber limits. Seven years ago he bought of Charles Smith, of Ottawa, for $67,000 a. pine limit on the north shore of Lake Superior. That limit is now held at $400,000. 7 Mr. G. P. Brophy, Government Engineer of the Ottawa. River VVoxks, was standing it is said, in the rotunda of the Russel Hotel in Ottawa, one day, some eight years ago, when a business acquaintance stepped up and offered to sell him a small limit on the Upper Ottawa. “ What’s your price ‘2” said Mr. Brophy. “ Twelve thousand dollars.” “I will give you eight thousand.” “ Make it ten,” said the seller. Mr. Brophy is a. keen, sharp business man as well as a. competent engineer. and no man in Canada. has better chances of sizing up speculative opportunities in tim- ber. But he could not, any more than any one else did, calculate at the time the money in timber limits. He declined. Subse- quently, the story goes, the limit was ofl‘er- ed to him at his own figure. He again declined and had the pleasure within the last year or twa of seeing the some limit change hands at $56,000. l’erley & Pattee, a big lumber firm of Ottawa. recently dissolved, last year sold to Arthur Hill & 00., of Saginaw, Mich., a large limit on the Madawaska for a. sum in the neighborhood of half a. million dollars. Sixteen or eighteen years before they bought it for 32,000, it is said. These instances might be multiplied by the dozen. They are sufficient to show the extraordinary consequent upon the rapid felling of the pine forests. To an inexperienced eye there may be hardly an evidence at first glance of the disappearance of the nine. The hard woods with which the pine is in- terspersed are usually left standing to a. considerable extent. and so are the smaller pine, so that even a. well out country will still look splendidly wooded. No doubt MR. MACKEY AGAISY DECEASED FROM THEIR. NATIVE \VILDS‘ TIMBER KINGS. AD\'A.\V TIMBER VALUES, Pine Rapidly voirs, holding the sn ruins of summer so as innumerable streams Consequently spring The expectation that Canada. would do well in the October dairy competition at the World’s fair has been more than renliz ed. She has done magnificently. The suc- cess achieved by the Dominion’s dairy ex- hibits iu the June competition naturally led to the expectation that efl‘orts would be made by United States factorymeu to turn the tables in the fall. Such eli'orts have, however, been more than offset by those of the Canadian dai1ymen and the gentlemen who had the selection mid care of the Do- minion’ 5 exhibit Oi five hundred and thirty- nine individual exhibits made by Can- adians four hundred and ninety re- ceived awards. There were one hundred and thirty Canadian exhibits which scored higher than the best exhibits of the United States.

Enlightened men here are urging the establishment of regu- lar systems of arboriculture, such as pre- vail in several of the chief countries of Europe, notably in France. It is hoped also that the Quebec Government will fol- low the lead of the Ontario Government in establishing a natural park on some of the main water sheds. The new machine, it is alleged, will do away with much of the deception practised at the polls, and it will totally prevent stuifing or tampering with a ballot box. The machine consists of a. closed’metallic booth provided with doors at opposite ends, and one window, which is so arranged that the voter, while himself hidden, can yet if necessary, ask questions of an outside ofiicial. Each name or question cm which the vote is to be taken is inscribed plainly on the wall, and above each name or ques- tion an electric button is placed. Theso buttons communicate with a clock face somewhat similar to the register on a horse-car, and as it is placed on the wall of a locked and sealed room, no inspection can be made until the voting is declared over. A special mechanism provides against double voting, for when the voter has pressed one button all other buttons are locked. Among the futher advantages claimed for the machine are the reduction of the expense of providing election officers land the absolute incorruptibility of the mechanical apparatus for counting the 1 votes. Politicians are taking lively interest in the Myers Ballot Machine, which has been legalized in New York State by the unani- mous vote of the Senate and Assembly. The new machine. it. is alleged. will do awards, and the United States received not one. In another class Canada captured 369 awards and the United States only 45. Nine lots of Canadian cheese scored 995 points out of a possible of 100, indicating that practical perfection had been secured. The rovinces all did well as is shown in the following table of exhibits and awards :â€" practical provinces following Ontario ..... Quebec..u . Nova Scotm.. .. New Brunswick P. E. Island ..... Manitoba These are results on which the whole country is to be congratulated. They show in an indisputable way the superiority of the Canadian dairy farmer over all his com- petitors. They will enhance the already high reputation Canadian cheese has achiev- ed in the markets of the world. They are a magnificent evidence of what well-direct- ed energy and intelligence can do, and show qhe Canadian dairy farmer to possess these qualities in the highest degree. Westminster Palace, London, devoted to the use of the two Houses of Parlialnent,00n- tains 1,100 rooms, 100 staircases, more than two miles of corridors, and 11 courts. The building covers an area ofnearly eight acres, and forms an oblong with some saliences and other diversities of outline,940 feet in length. The exterior of the river front is divided into five principal compartments, panelled with tracery, and decorated with rows of statues and shields of arms of the sovereigns of England from \Villiam I. to Victoria. The building has three great towera-â€"neme- ly, the Clock Tower (316 feet high), from which Big Ben booms forth the time with such unswerving regularity ; the Central Tower (300 feet high) over the "central ocâ€" tagonal boll ; and the Victoria. Tower (340 feet high), at the south-west angle, over the Royal entrance archway, 65 feet in height. The portion of the building occupied by the Commons is that nearest to Westminster Bridge, the southern end being appropriat- ed for the use of the Lords. The Hotel Metropole, Northumberland Avenue, has the next largest number of rooms, with its accommodation for 1,000 visitors staying there. A still larger hotel is to be built on the site formerly occupied by Her Majesty’s Theatre. and fronting to the Haymarket and Pall Mall, at a. cost of over £1,000, 000 ster ling, and to be conducted on America lines. - Work helps us to hear our sorrows and glorifies our joys. To keep your secret is wisdom; but to expect, others to keep it is folly. He who despises mankind will never gas the best out of eltber others or himself. If we would overcome the laws of nature we must not resist, we must balance them against one another. There is nothing ignuminious about pov- erty.

It is hardly reason- able to an pose that they are criminally careless their own lives. They understand better than the traveling public does that every journey by rail, like every trip on the sea, is practically a. plunge into the un- known and uncertain, with a degree of haz- ard that no precaution can wholly remove and no warineas surely avert. A broken At and no warihess surely avert. A broken rail, a misplaced switch, an innocent error in signaling, may any moment precipitatea wreck; and it is the men on the locomotive who have to face the worst of the peril. This sense of constant personal risk,add- ed to the responsibility for other people, may readily be believed to teach railroad men circumspection under all cricumstances. Indeed, it is easy to detect confirmation of this idea in their countenances and their characteristics. They have a. kind offixed, strained lookâ€"the engineers especiallyâ€" which undoubtedly comes from habitual and incessant peering forward along the track in advance of the engine. Even when the train is at a stop, you will notice them leaning out of the cab window or from a car platform, gazing ahead, always ahead. This unremitting anxiety is one of the signal-lights of their calling, a sign by which we know them as soon as we see them. There is no fear in it, and no thought of borrowing trouble ; it is simply an expres- sion of rigid and tireless solicitude. They are mostly fatalists, these bronzed and keen-eyed fellows. They believe that when a man’s time comes to go he must go, and that he has nothing to gain by trying to propitiate destiny. This may not make saints of them, but it gives them resignation and self-reliance, and fortifies them against ‘ surprise and panic, that subtlest foe of de< fective and undisciplined natures. More- over, it reconciles them to their compara- tive isolation from the rest of the World so far as the ordinary interests and relations of society are concerned; for it must be remembered that the conditions of their employment oblige them to live apart in a sphere of their own, alone with their duty, and peering forever with those strange set faces into what may be mere space and silence, or may be an ambush of jeopardy and catastrophe.

This proportion has signally increased, while the number of passengers using first- class carriages has diminished, and that of those employing second-class carriages is tending to drop to zero. Already in Scot~ land most of the lines have altogether dis- continued booking second-class passengers, and the time seems not for distant when only first-class and third-class carriages will be run on any of the railways in the United Kingdom. This change is no doubt attributable to the democratic tendencies of the time, for the elimination of the second-class carriages must be ascribed to the incessant demands of third-class pas. sengere for increased comforts and conven- iences, and the corresponding concessions made by railway managers. \Vhen the people, who formerly took second-class carriages,discovered that they were paying higher fares without obtaining extra ac- commodations, they naturally preferred to purchase third-class tickets, and their ex- ample has been largely followed by first« class passengers, especially since the shrink- age of all incomes effected by the renting value of land. t, 2â€"~but g More dct he young in Among reptilcs the eggs exhibit great variety.

Take a seven-year-old turtle of this kind; it will contain only very small eggs, all of uniform size.

This applies particu- larly to enjoyment, and in this respect alone, the fallacy of such views is plainly mani- fested. There are men and women bent upon pleasure who lose it, simply because they see no limit to their powers. Given the means to minister to it they believe that pleasure will continue to flow in a. per- petual stream. Disappointment always follows. Nothing more quickly comes to an end than the pleasure which is sought for its own sake. Vuluptas, empta dolore, nocet. Pleasure, always bought with pain, is injurious.

But Germany has no immediate reason for attacking France. but France attack her. I reason for a has for am there is dang keen this dar from Berlin 1 seriouslv irri ence to the feelings and rights of Germany. It need hardly be said that Admiral Avelan, the Russian in command, faithfully reflect- ed the views of his imperial master. He would not have been sent on his mission of greeting to France Without the most definite instructions as to his course, and as one of the most intelligent officers in the Russian service he has no doubt follower] those in- structions implicitly. In welcoming the declaration of the Lorrainers that they still were French at heart and subjects of Ger- many by force. he showed how little the Czar cared for international amenites in dealing with an issue of vital interest to the German people. It was as if a deputation from the Baltic provinces of the Russian empire, had visited Berlin, had been re- ceived with honor by the German Emperor, and had declared to him that they were Russian only by force, and would prefer to be united to their German kindred. Should the German Emperor have expressed his gratification at such an announcement his attitude would seem to be little short of a. provocation to war. Yet this is the position which Russia. has assumed toward Germany. on the German side, as to the growing contentment of the people of the Reicbs- land with German rule. Should the ad- dress in question pass unpunished and un- rebuked by the German Government, so far as the individual deputies are con- cerned, the fact would indicate a. mag- nanimity and liberality highly creditable to the authorities at Berlin and at Strass- burg. The utterances of the deputies showed a. hatred of their new allegiance, which bodes ill for the Reichsland’s fidelity in the event of another Franco- German war. The Russian admiral appears to have received the address in a spirit of cordial approval and of complete, indifl'er- tion and yet utterly fall of the hippiness he seeks. He has simply miscalculated his powers of enjoyment, forgetting that they exist only within very narrow limits ; than they are dependent upon the healthful exercise of the whole being and that being unrestrained they will simply give way and perish. Limitations rightly understood and observed, instead of being hindrances to happiness are its most essential elements. They tend to definiteness ‘of purpose, to concentration of energy, to earnestness of eflort. By observing the bonds of quantity we can always improve the quality. It is, in a. moral way, on the principle that good goods are always done up in small parcels. We should always keep this in view if we want to get the best out of life. Dr. Ernest Hart, of London, editor of the British Medical Journal, now visiting this country, is doing some good missionary work in importing sound views on the subject of cholera. Dr. Hart is a. high authority on sanitary subjects. He has contributed recently very able papers to a number of American magazines on cholera. and its prevention which ought to be sturlied by every Mayor and Councilman in the land. He does not believe in quarantine as a de- fense against cholera, but in cleanliness and especially in clean water. This is what he says 2â€"“ There is nothing so easy to keep out and deal with as cholera. The fear of cholera has saved more lives in the world than the epidemics of the last fifty years have destroyed. The knowledge that it is due to dirty water compels the authorities to take precautions that have saved thou- sands of lives every year. You can eat chol- era, you can drink cholera, but you can’t catch it. even if you run after it.

A Victoria, B.C., special says :â€"“ Wil Japan enact: regulations similar to those decided upon by Great Britain and the United States, on the one hand, and Great; Britain and Russia. on the other ”I” This is the question which above and before all others is engaging the attention of those interested in the sealing industry just now. “Will the hospitable citizens of the island empire continue to allow the destructionin Japanese waters of the much-prized provid- ers of sealskin coats, or will they not?” Much depends on how this question is answered. Of course, if a. protectorate is declared in favor of the Japanese Heels, it means loss to the Victoria. sealers. Japan is their last haven,snd if itis taken from them they will be obliged to submit themselves to the narrow privileges of the new regula- tions, learn to use the spear or the air gun, and make a. closer study of the migratory habits of their game, so as to be able to do a certain amount of execution during the open monthsâ€"which are no) generally looked upon as part of the sealing season: As yet Japan‘has taken no steps toward the prohibition or regulation of sealing in her territorial waters, and as a. result the majority of the Victoria sealing fleet will, during the next few months, shape their course for Yokohama. or Hakodate. Several are already fitting out, and Christmas will see half the fleet under sail. They will, in many instances, take their hunters only from this side,ms.king up the usual comple- ment of men with Japanese sailors and boat-pullers. Whether this is a bid for popularity with the Japanese, or because \the J aps have proved good seamen in the ’past, is a. matter of opinionâ€"possibly it is both. Should Japan, as is hoped. continue to allow seal hunting, the sealing capital will no doubt be speedily transferred from Victoria. to Yokohama. There the vessels will outfit; there discharge their valuable cargo, and there the profits from the indus‘ try will be put in circulation. Although all the fleet) may not renounce their allegiance to Victoria. the majority doubtless will ; to winter here would mean endless unnecessary expense,annoyance and loss of valuable time. It will be necessary to get to work very early indeed, for the open season, by the new regulations, only lasts until Mayâ€"a. month in previous years busy with the work of preparation and the beginning of the coast hunting. In the absence of definite information concerning Japan, a number of the schoonera this year Will engage Indian hunters in the usual way, and start to sea. with an arsenal of spears instead of shotgunsâ€"a. return to “ ye days of olde.” The Indians all along the coast can still handle the spear with a. tolerable effectiveness ; in fact, they will lose but little by its substitution for the shotgun. ' The weapon used is the common spear. about 15 feet inlerfgth, which carries with it a light line : the range of operations is about 50 feet. Using the spear in a. herd is not productive of good results, for the process is slow, and the seals struck imme- diately communicate their alarm to their companions. Of course, there is one coun- ter-argument in favor of the spear ; it makes no noise, but this counts for very little. Then, too, if the seal-killing of the future is to be done with the spear, there must come a. revolution in the building of sealing boats. Those now in use are far too high out of water. This, however, is but one of many details which, in the light of recent legislation, must now be considered, ‘The entire prosecution of the sealing in- dustry during the season for which prepara- tions are [now being made must be largely experimental. London's Lord Mayor is :1 Gorgeous Crea- ture When Arrayea! In Ills Robes. The fountain of municipal honor in Eng- land, says the London Telegraph,undoubt- edly springs from the Guildhall, London,- which justly claims to be accounted the most ancient of our municipal halls, seeing that the lord mayors of the last eight cen- turies are with justice assumed to have had prototypes in the Roman Prefect and the Saxon Fortreye or Portgrave. For a considerable number of years the robes of the lord mayor, the court of Aldermen and the common councillors have been settled with a precision that none, save the most lreckless of innovators would presume to ‘disturb. The lord mayor himself has his “gold" robe for the occasion of the annual 1iiildhall banquet and for the times when he proceeds in estate either to the new law courts or to the houses of parliament. The alder-men have their scarlet gowns, the sherifis their distinctive and very handsome robes and chains, while the common coun- cillors rejoice in gowns called “mazarines,” it being generally understood that mazarine is a term for a dark-blue color,althouoh,sc cording to some Iexicographers, mszarine also means adrinking vessel and anfold way of dressing fowls. Then again, when the sovereign comes into the city the lord mayor is bound to don a robe of crimson or purple velvet, trimmed with ermine. At the time of his investiture, he wears a mas- sive gold chain ; but when he is honored by re-election at the expiration of his term of ofiice he wears two chains. The mace of silver-gilt. surmounted by a royal crown and the imperial arms, is carried before the mayor by the authority of the charter of Edward III. ; while the city possesses no less than four swords, one called the “Pearl,” presented by Queen Bess when she opened the first Royal Exchange, and so-called from its being richly set with pearls. This sword precedes the chief magistrate on all occasions of rejoicing and festivity. The sword of state is carried before the lord mayor as an emblem of his sovereignty within the city proper; the “black” sword is used on fast days in Lent and at the death of any member of the royal family ; while the fourth sword is that placed Close to the lord mayor’s chair at the central criminal court. A comparison of the crops of wheat pro- duced in the world during the last three years according to an English authority shows that, the first year was the best. In 1891 there were 4,000,000 more quarters thnn in 1892; in 1892 there were 12,000,000 more quarters than in 1893. The average price, however, in 1893 was 255. 5d. per quarter; in 1892 it. was 293. id. ; in 1891 it was 418. 8d. These figures reverse the old theory that a. short crop moans high prices.
