One of our citizens “chewed the rag” Monday morning because the man on the, freight car charged him 15 ccnts for bringing a. two pound par- cel of books flom the city. Upon tell- ing his troubles to his neighbor the latter said “ \Vhy they only charged me 35 cents for bringing a large bar- rcl of coal oil.” And said another “They charged me only 25 cents for bringing up a plow.” So that. taking the three transactions togclher it was decided that the charges Were not ex- orbitant. And at any rate it, would notbe fair to hold the. management responsible for the bad judgment of one of its employrs.

XMAS CANADIAN MAGAZINE. The coloured cover of the Christmas Canadian Magazine is emblamatic of the season and of the contr‘nts. There are several Christmas stories, and an article by Sarah A.

The coloured illustrations fol this article, the tuo full page pictures of a Lake- Huron Harbour by Moonlight, the colouredportrait of Sir \Vm. Mulock, and the tintcd illustrations for the closing chaptersof the \Var of 1812, give a- brightncss to the number. The storyillustrations by C. Ii. \Varrcn, and J. E. McBurney are above file average. The illustrated article on To- ronto.“ A Typical Canadian City.” L‘Fil' splendid feature. The symposium on “ )auada and Mr. Chamberlain," to which John Charlton, M. P., Chancel- loi \Vallacc, Professor Shortt. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, \V. C. Nicol and Hon. R. P. Roblin contribute, is that different views of the question are frecly given.

In “People. and Affairs” Mr. Cooper deals with Canada’s de- mand for greater powers. with impeiial postage and the fiow of Canadian graduates to the United States. The other depart- munts are decidedly interesting. Un- (loubtcdly this is a. brilliant number. D E A 5 Sum -Iu Richmond Hlll. Sunday, Dec.13,George Sims, aged 62 years. DIZZ * ? Appetite poor?
