—The good offices of the Charlottetowa Board of Trade have again been exerted on behalf of the movement of mails and pas- rengers between this Province and the mainland. In reeponee to a telegram from the Board, despatched yesterday afternoon, Sir Louis Davies has directed that the Stanley shall ply between here and Picton and be on hand to help tne Gaepesia out in case of need.

—With the view of affording Colonial artiste an opportunity of introducing their work tothe notice ofthe Mother Country, the Hditor of the Studio, the well-known Magazine of Fine and "A pplied Art (5 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London) is offering prizes for a competition open exclusively to arti*ts and art sindepte re~ siding in the British Coloniesand depen-~ dencies. Particulareof the conditions of the competition will be found in the Decem- ber number of the Magazine.

—Commenting on the fact tbat the Bank of Nova Scotia is about to establish a branch at Boston. The Boston Post says : “Tt will be the first time in the history of local fioance that the territory will have been invaded by a Canadian institutioa,

aod the success ot the venture will be watched very keealy. The promoters necessirily feel that there ia o@ field for

business, else they would not come, and if they get business it must be at the loses of local institutions. The traffic, and hence exchange, between Canada, the Provinces and Boston is annually on the increase, and there has been some rivalry to obtain th» desirable business.”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Toronto Globe: Drevfua is atill the terror of France, or of the small political and military coterie that regards itselfus a nation. of a young, inferior cfficer who can excite eo much fear.

Vanity Fair: Over England during the past few weeks a great wave of patriotism has spread. We have awakened to our national reeponsibilities, and every cheer that has gone up for Lord Kitchener has been an expression of this fact. The beneficial effect of this Sirdar “boom” been very great. It has etrengthened hands of the Government in their political dealings of late. It has given the nation

the tonic it required. Above all, it has shown to the world that the stolid shop- keeping Jobo Bull cf today is just the same John Ball wbhobred Nelson and

Wellington, who splashed the map of the world with red, and is just as ready now as he was in days gone by to maintain his plain rights—even at the cost of war.

The benefit of organization wae pointed out, and ecme f the reforms that have been effected though the agency. of the Woman’s Council were started. The address was intereSting and instructive from beginning. to end, and was greatly appreciated by all p. e-ent. The discussion which followed was par - ticipated in by Mrs Richard Johnson Mre Henry Smith, and Messrs Percy Pcp?, L L Beer, Dr Anderson, W E Bentley, and {Rey Geo M Campbell. During the even-

MOVING WITH THE BUSINESS.

Trade is moving—ever moving. A quarter of a century ago I found the active business men away down Queen Street. Baldwin sold the bardware, W. KR. Watson the drugs, Bremners did the printing and Harvie made the almanacs. A sure, tuough gradual, moving brought the business centre up—first south ride, then west end, now Sunnyside. Aye! Sunnyside, that’- my name, my disposition; and tha’s the spot — Sunnyside; corner to corner, Hughes’ to Crabbe’s—Sunwyside. 1 love the word. It cheers and charms—Sunnyside.

A LOVELY SPOT. It is an ideal spot for work like mine,

since every phase of, trade is represented here,— druggists, jewelers, grocers, conf:c=

tioners, dry goods, photographer, china book and printing, and turmture store;

each of which I’ve stocked in rich profu- sion with everything in their particular line, and lots of specialties not just in line. Witn Hughes I’ve left choice pises, tobac- coand cigars.
