It "requires no argument to prove that `it is far moreprofitable for Ca- ! nada "to. nfnanufacture the wheat raised here into flour. and ship the finished prod_uc_t' to England. than `to ship the wheat before. it is ground. and `a gentleman. whose name stands high "in themilling trade-. st.ates that the only way. for -Canada to profit- ` ably ship -flour instead of wheat to England. is by the route of the Trent Valley Canal. The ocean freight rate - on flour is. on an average, -three - cents per hundred pounds. higher" 1 than `on wheat, because of the fact ' that a -given quantity of the latter can be packed into a smaller space than the former, and to offset this difference insfreight rates. the mil- l_ers here must effect some propor- . pqrtionate saving on the `product be. A fore it reaches the ocean. This the Trent Canal would give. as perhaps ` it can be given in no other way. It should also be remembered that T the-opening of the canal would mean a ` tremendous stimulus to the trade. of Montreal. The more avenues through which traffic enters intoa city. 'the greater will be the volume of business. and. Montreal, as` the most advantageously situated sea- port in Canada. will benefit greatly by the completion of the canal. which will greatly. increase the tonnage of `freight shipped from that city. While Ontario and the other pro- vinces are capable of still further de- velopment, the greatest increase in wealth and population .. of Canada must come? as a. result of the devel- opment of 'the west which has 0. won- derful future ahedd of it.

As like affects like, so it is with mi- sers, and gold will go where gold is. This is strikingly illustrated by the act` of a celebrated Greek. one Dichceus Dichaems, a descendant of the Byzan- ` tine emperors. This man. by the exer- ; else or extreme niggardliness, managed to amass the sum of $50,000, an im- mense fortune in those days. Then camethe question to whom should he leave it. One day a distant relative. `sent him a letter written upon a square inch of paper. This was sutcient. In the tness or things_the parsimonious correspondent became the miser s_ heir.

But it is a fact that on April 30, 1777, in an order issued at Morristown, N.

The order continued, You will, there- fore, send me none but Americans. Washington directed that this prefer- ence for Americans should not be made known, as he feared it might excite the many foreigners in the army.-Ex- ; change. doubt establish a fixed precedent ` for `the construction at !eaohitnstitu- ` tion of a building to be appropriated I for `the use of nurses and attendants. `Reference "is made to and praise be- I stowed for the provision for the se- parate care of epileptics by building 8. new institution at Woodstock for that class of unfortunates.
