January Report for s. s. 17, Innismg Adyance Eerndale. Advanc Correspondence. ALerroy Man. Australia the Poor Man : Paradise. The cheapness of living in Australia is proverbial. It is a veritable poor man s paradise. In the butchers shops you see twopenny and fourpenny tick- ets on the meat, and provisions of lo- cal production are equally inexpensive. In the eating houses or coffee shops--a great feature_ of town life there--you `can get a square meal. consisting of a steak or chop. bread and butter and tea. for sixpence. There are no tips for waiters in the antipodes. The co- ionials are enormous tea drinkers and -on an average partake of the cheering herb even times a `day. Boarding 1 houses-another prominent ,feature- ` are rendered almost essential in a land `where the domestic servants command` The eDepartme/ht of Crown. Lande estimates that the out of pine logs in Northern Ontario the present winter will reach 750,000,000 feet board mea- sure. If this amount is reached it will be a `million feet more than last season. - About 17,000 men are employed in the camps now, and the wages average $27 . per month, being higher than former years. ` Madrid, Feb. 2,-Siuoe the West 1 Indian colonies were lost the production of beet sugar in Spain has almost mon- opolized the `attention of Spanish agri- oulturists. During the last year about 79,000 tons of suaar were produced in t...s country, 30,000 tons of which were contributed by" 22 cane sugar mills and 49,000 tons form the output of 26 boat- sugar works, only 16 of, which were completed in time to avail themselves of the entire crop. Twenty-`two more beet-sugar mills are now either built or E building. Owen Sound, Feb. 2.--`A telegram was received by Mr. Hammond, ,, of Derby Township, from South Attics, stating that his son, Sergeant-Major Dayton Brown Hammond had `been! killed at a skirmish ac Erstefabricken. He went out with C Battery, and took part in the relief of Msfeking; In a recent letter to his mother. dated aboutthe time of the departure for home of the second contingent, he an- nnunced his enlistment in Get How- ard s Scouts, with the remark that he had not yet had enough of soldiering, and was determined to see the business to a nish. birthplace.

EDITORIAL NOTES; Dining the funeral procession of the Queen in London over thirteen hundted people were iniured so as to require medxcsl assistance. ` But here in England, with only a week's notice, the greatest sovereign of the age suddenly yields the sceptre to her successor. Without a moment s interruption or disorder the new King takes command of the realm and with- out the slightest iolt all the machinery moves smoothlyion as before. Surely this is in most favorable contrast with all the undignied squabbling and wire- pulling of the professional politicians of thef'United States, and `makes West minster compare more than favorably with Washington.
