P PATENT MuDiCINES MARCH 12 b, 1896 ~1»!i<hod every FOR ONTARIANS annum is advance; parilia the Wabigoon Country, Rainy River The sttention of the Department baving recently been hitherto called to this unwettled region, Mr. Dryden determined to establish there what he termed a "pioneer farm," to demonâ€" strate in a practical maoner the. country‘s agricuitural capabilities. The experiment so far bas been very suc cessful, and this pamphlet giving general information regarding â€" the section, which is now open for settleâ€" went, is the result, . It is illustrated and contains a map of the district. This information will he very opâ€" portune in view of the increasing demand at the present time for cheap land, especially on the part of young men of small capital,the sous of farmâ€" ers, who desire to ‘secure farms and homes of their own. Such sbould by all means investigate the Wabigoon country and other unsettled portions of Ontario before turning their attenâ€" tion elsewhere. _ Ontario still has vast resources at her commandâ€"& beritage intended for her own peopleâ€" and presents advantages unsurpassed by any province or by any foreign state. Those desirous of securing & copy of the pamphiet should address a card to the Department of Agriculture, Toronto. SsOME MORE SPECIAL LEGISâ€" LATION. & The members of the Architects‘ Asâ€" sociation of Onturio are the latest upâ€" plicants for special privileges before the Legisiature of Oatario. They wish the Legislature to enact that every archiâ€" tect in the provinee who is not now & member of their association, or who does not become one within 3 months, shall be debarred from psing the desigâ€" nation, "architect," and that hereafter bo person shall use that designation unâ€" lees he passes the examination of the Association. In 1890 the L gislature incorporated the Oatario Association of Architects by a special bill, and one of its provisions was that after the 1st of July, 1890, no person should be entitlâ€" ed to u«e the name "Registered Archiâ€" tect," unless he was «0 registered as a member of this Association under this Act, on pain of certain pena‘ties, $25 for first o@fence and $100 for subseâ€" quent offences. Is would appear that this law has not been suflicient to give the field to the "registered architects," and now the Legislature is to be asked to p:nalize all persons who use the term, "architect," unless they become members of the Association. The ubject is laudable enough but recently the feeling against these speâ€" cial class privileges has bean growing stronger aud there is not much likeliâ€" lug.

Gibson brought down the report of the Ontario Game and Fish Commissioners for 1895 in the Local Legisiature on Friday. The commissioners report that although the eutorcement of the game laws bas had un undoubted effect in presérving the g.me during the last three or four years, the act might be made much more protective by restricting the number of birds to be taken or killed by uny person in a day or a year. For l instance in the case of ductk, if it were enucted tbhat not more than twenty should be taken in a day or 300 in a season it would bhave a good effect. The same plan wight be u?opted with reference to the game birds,quail,snipe, woodcock aud purtridge. They report furt! er that althought the open season for deer was last year shortened by ten days, greater number than ever have been killed during the late open season. Tt is esimated by the wardens who had charge of Muskoka and nergh voriug disâ€" tricws that fuily 3,000 deer were killed there during the fifteen days‘ open sesâ€" son. â€" The chief factor in this unreason: wble slaughter is the use of huunds, which to the number of »bout 800, Waterioo County Chronicle, Thursday, "-'i’ia;â€";;)fiiuioneu complain, t0o, that too many permits are issued for the killing of insectivorous birds and the collection of their eggs. Complaint ismadethatalthough thore &re 460 depuâ€" ty wardens,some of them are indifferent, because when they fail to eecure convicâ€" tions they have to pay the costs. The hounding of does is espacially condemnâ€" CU+ Owing to the divided responsibility the deputy wardens are unable to enâ€" force the fishery laws and there is conâ€" sequently gre article of food. Among the suggested amendments to the law is one preventing the use of any floating battery or other device for coucealing the gunner in the shooting of water fow! ; also the use of any decny or blind at a greater distance than fifty yards from the shore. Another suggesâ€" tion is that every deer hunter shali take out a license to which two conpons are attached, and that one of these coupons shall be attached to each deer or part of deer shipped by said hunter, sted ‘The report of the Minister of Educa tion for 1895, which was laid on the table Tbursday afterncon, opens with a summary of the statistics for 1894. From theee it appears that there were then 5,649 Pablic Schools, an increase of 8 ; 3286 Roman Catholic Separate Schools, an increase of 15, and 10 Proâ€" teatant Separate Schools, besides 90 kindergartens, with 184 teachers, and 25 might schools, with 54 teachers.

BRITISH NAVY k8TIMATES £14,000,000 Appropriated London, March 2 â€"In the House of Commons to day, Kight Hon, Geo. 1. Goschen, First Lord of theé Admiulc(, presented the navy estimates, He said that the proposed increase in the raval expenditure was not due to any feeling of alarm,., More ships weant more men, and: these had ty be got. The Government proposed an increae of £850,000 for guns and dooks at Gibâ€" raltar.. It bad decided io build three docks instead of one, The cost of the new works was estimated at £2,500,â€" 000, in addition to the £361,000 already allotted for the new dook there.~â€"Suwmâ€" ming up the demands ‘of the Governâ€" ment, Mr. Goschen said it was proposed to raise the Naval Works Bill from £8,500,000, proposed by the last Gov; se o en t ernment, to £14,000,000, which would be the amount of the Goverament bill. Continuing, he said that these wight seem large figures, but the Chancellor of the Exchequer authorized him to atate that the exchequer could supply the money. It was proporcd to add to the navy five battleships like the improved Renown, four firstâ€"class cruisers, three secondâ€"class cruisers, six thirdâ€"class» crpirers and twentyâ€"cight torpedo bost destroyers The total estimates Awere £21,822,000, against £18,701,000 for 1895.6.. The Minis: ters believed that they had arrived at a point on which they might stand. If any tremendous strain came upon the country, obliging Great Britain to bear the burden alone and unsided, or wheâ€" ther in the event of any general disâ€" turbance she would take her place with any other power, the British fleet would represent the selfâ€"reliance of & great nation. This was the Minister‘s uuanimous opinion. On that unaniâ€" wous opinion they commended the estimates to the House, confident that the cost would be cheerfully borne, and trusting that they would be received, as they were conceived, in a spirit of moderation. + Mhio ies Eotsw o CR C 1 editorially approve the nevy, estimates, which they say they do not regard in any way excessive The Liberal papers will also generally approve, the estiâ€" mates, but criticise some of the details adversely. f would give us perfect health, Mecause mon aud women are not perfectly wice, they mu:t take medicines to keep thomsclves perfectly healthy, Pure, rich blodd is the basis of good health.
