It is 'arely a cycloiw hits this country, but such visitations are none ta» rare. Railway rates went up on Monday to the luae of 20 per cent, on passenger • rofhc and 40 per cent, on freight. The poor G. P. K. needed it lo keep its stock holders in a slate of bubbling conteni- iBk'nt and happiness. It looks as though the Railway 0\iHimissiou were trying to force the country into building radials for the benelit of cities and lame towas. Well, the bfgger the t iwns become the more costly it will W to live in them, and manufactured articles will continue to climb in prioe to meet the c.wt of living. "Bben in rime, if the^a couditimis cin- tinue, there will Iw n'> t>iie prodacing, all will move to the cities where big wages are p^id, and all the farms will bo deserted. Then what will theio be to eat ? Fancy such a condition. ..\nd we are fast drifting in that direction.

(Jne was Mrs. Henry Tucket if Dromore and the other Mrs. Joseph LeGard of Toronto, These giddy young things are both quite expert drivers â€" considering their you'hfalness What ia the difference between a Canadian match and a Pennsylvania coal miner i Well, about 90 per cent, of the coal miners want to strike all the time, while the match â€" about 30 per cent, of them have a diametrically opposite view of the eternal titness o: things and abaelutely refuse to strike under ary provocation. Some difference, eh :' Mr. Cox and Mr. Cable, well known in Flesherton. have formed a company to drill for oil or aas, or anything they can get, near Craigleith. The only thing they got while drilling here was suckers, but it is alleged that they did not go down far enough to yet anyrhina else. The new cninpany will be called the Blue Mountain Gas. Oil Co. Shelburne is aaain getting excited over she coal question. It is said that a company will drill several holes around the town in search of a coal seam. It would be funny if they struck Mr. Finch's " lake of oil " in their drilling operations. The shores (f that elusive lake are still beiow the horizon, and everybody has yet an et^ual chance of discovering the bonanza. It used to be said that heavy penalties in liquor cases would defeat their object â€" th<t public sentiment would lie with the defendaut and ctiBvictioas could not b« made. This old bugaboo has been smashed along with the trathc, acl now about 90 per cent, of the people say •' serTO him right ' when the nfl'ender gets lauded and soaked a thousand. Public seatiment has evidently changed very iNaterially in the matter ot tines.

Sprcule, last week, wusmuch more serious thin at first was thought. Mr. Sproulo was leading a horse when the accident occur- ed. The animal became frightened and jerked Mr. Sproule ilfhis feet. He fell backward he*vily on the sidewilk and was picked up and carried to his rooms. Wednesday morning he was taken to Owen Sound hospital where an X ray examinati.'H revealed a fwcture in the hip boiic. Owing to thti suiTerer's age, ho tieing well on t.> four score, the iojui) is considered quite spri'ius, and will confine him to his bed f ir a long time.
