Most people believe that ventrilo- quism is a gift almost unattainable by tbe ordinary mortal, but thi* view is quite wrong. The fact is thai anyone can learn to ventrilo- quize if Ive has sufficient patience to practice long enough. It is merely a <|tic i tion of deceiving the ear. Practically all the would-be ven- trili><|tii-t has to learn is lluj facility of sp 'aking without moving his lips, nd. of course, the knack of miv dim.- 1 'tig the attention of the spec- tators. In ciiii'iei-tion with ".stom- ach talk" which, by tin- way, has a lui&lciuliuK derivation, since no man can produce Rounds otherwise than from his larynx it is said that the ancji'iil Kgyptian prieKtH made great unc of it for tta purpose of working their oraelei.

There has not boon since th* Whitney Administra- tion came into power any icrcat issue between the parties. There havo been skirniMhon on matters of detail, but no ir-ue big and broad enough to reach every elector, and make liiin search his heart or bis prejudices, to seo which side he really utuod on. The temperance policy advanced by Mr. Bowell furnishes such an issue. It will bring the political ifla- dialers to crips. And no one can toll at this dat what the outcome will be. Thore will be plenty of time for consideration, for. of course, there is no reason why thcrt ubould bo an election for another four year. THE ISSUE. From expressions of 'opinion already made it is evident that opposition to Mr. Bowell's policy will come from three main . ,n - 1. Those who do not believe in further restrictive legislation. 2. ThONB who are sincere in their denire to see the liquor trade curtailed or abol- ished, but who do not believe vbat the enforcement of such restrictions as are proposed could be enforced. i. Those who. to borrow a phrase from Britixh politics, tnay b described as "whole hogfers." and who will not be satisfied with any temperance, policy which does not provide for the tolal pro- hibition, including the abolition of shop licenses and club licenses, ns well an the bars, and iwrhaps. also, the prohibition of the manufacture of intoxicants. On the other hand <hose who believe with Mr. Rowell. say. In answer to these three groups respectively: 1. The liqnor traffic is an evil which de- serves no quarter. 2. The abolition of the bar is capable of effective enforcement. J. The wiping out at one swoop of 1.800 tavern licenses is a l)i|f enough job to tackle at once; that accomplished wo can. If desired.

Tbe rumor is now revived. Ills private resi- dence, C'astle Frank. Is sufficiently im- pressive to be used for gubernatorial pur- poses while the new bouse ID being com- pleted.

As a result, the price of the shares is likely to approximate closely to the book value by an adjutttincnt in In- market.

The Dome, Hollinger, Mrlntyre, \ iiniiiil and Oilier Important Properties Described From a Personal Visit. A representative of this paper u-c just returned from a trip to Por- cupine, where he found Ontario's gold enmp pacing from the pros- pect stage into the producing era. 1I-- li.i-l the pleasure of handling a bar of the yellow na-tal valued at $3,000. the pnxitu-t of a few days' run of a ten stamp mill on the M Intvre Mine. He saw the mill it- self at work and was told by Mr. C. B. Flynn, the Vice-President of the Company, that the daily output would immediately be raised to $1,000, and that it wa> hoped be- fore the end of the year to take out $500,000 from this property aloue. THE DOME'S BIG MILL. The most impressive thing in Porcupine to-day is the new big mill of the Dome mine. This is a hugo structure containing? forty stamps and accompanying equip- ment, which probably makes it one of the most up-to-date mills in the world. One is told that it cost be- tween $300,000 and $100,000, and that it will have a capacity of 400 tons of ore a day. The other equip- ment on the property is on a simi- lar scale. There is a power house worth $100,000 and residences for the managers, club house, dining halls, etc., the latter are all of brick, indicating plans for perman- ency. Altogether it is estimated that somewhere between a million and a million and a half dollars have been spent on the property. These figures are eloquent of the confidence the owners have in the future of the mine. The owners represent interests close to the United States Steel Corporation and Standard Oil Company, and also own the International Nickel Company, the big Sudbury concern, and control the Nipissiug Mines Company at Cobalt. FORTY STAMPS AT WORK. The mill has just begun operation, and the night of the stamps pound- ing away on the ore, pulverizing it to a powder, so that tho gold can be removed, was worth going a long way to see. The mill would have been running several months ago had it not been for the fire of last July, which swept away everything. The mine gets its name from the fact that fairly regularly the gold is found distributed in a great dome shaped hill of rock, which has been found to broaden as it goes down, and is known to carry gold to great depth. The entire mass will be milled, and is expected to yield about $8 a ton, the cost of produc- tion being perhaps $3. HOLLINGER'S RICH ORE. A visit was also paid to the Hoi- linger mine, which vies with the Dome for supremacy. Here a 40- stamp mill is nearing completion. The ores found in this property oc- cur in fairly regular veins, and is very rich, running, it is said, $28 a ton. The only question is as to the extent of the veins, but the main one has already been traced 1,000 feet on the surface, and to a depth of 200 feet. We descended to this level in the Hollinger and also in the Mclntyre and in the Vi- pond mines, and it was encourag- ing to see the well defined quartz veins at this depth, and to be able to pick out samples carrying dis- cernible free gold. Mr. Arthur Cole, mining expert of the Temis- kaming and Xorthern Ontario Rail- way Commission, accompanied the party, and secured some striking specimens. The Vipond is also rushing a mill . ^rr.plotion, and it is expected that within a couple of months the mills on the Vipond, Hollinger, Mc- lntyre and Dome will be running and will have an aggregate capacity of 800 tons of ore a day. It is esti- mated that by the end of the year .,600,000 in gold bars will be pro- duced thereby at long last, putting Ontario in the list of gold produc- ing areas. Other properties visited included the Little Pet, which contemplates putting in a five-stamp mill, and the Dome extension. PORCUPINE'S HOPES.

Already on the leading properties an aggregate of some 3,- 500 feet in shafts have been sunk, and some 15,000 of drifting and tunnelling done. On the whole, the results of this underground work have been satisfactory, though some of the prospects have disappointed their owners. To celebrate the opening of the Dome mill a celebration was heki under the auspices of the South Porcupine Board of Trade. Tho arrangements were in charge of the President, W. Proctor Smith, who with a fund of anecdote and wit, proved to be a delightful compan- ion, and as a host attended to every desire of his guests. St BSTIUTE FOR LKATHKK. A Forlune Awaits You if You Can Hit On u Capable One. There is a fortune of many mil- lions in store for the man who can discover a substitute, for leather. The price of the real article is steadily rising, dealers say, and the reascn is that in spite of the duty removed the growth of the world's population is faster than the in- crease in 'the. number of cattle raised. "There is a growing dispropor- tion between tlw number of hides marketed and the demand for lea- ther," >says an expert. "The ques- tion is where the future supply will come from in quantities sufficient to meet the country's future needs. If some geJiius will only find a substi- tute for leather he'll be a wealthy man in a dav." The self-made man usually tries to mouopoli/.e the spotlight. Why Should a Chicken Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg? Because. Willie, the chicken don't know how to create a hard shelled egg unless it has some food with'lime in it. So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some other form of lime. Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly. Shut it up and feed stuff lacking lime and the eggs are soft-shelled. Let's step from chickens to human beings. Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman have nervous pros- tration or brain-fag? There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain. If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve centres and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the activities of yesterday. Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite albumin and water to make gray matter. Grape- Nuts food is heavy in Phosphate of Potcsh in a digestible form. A chicken can't always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select suitable food for his children, wife and himself. "There's a Reason " for Qrape=Nuts Sold by Grocers.
