‘Lue longer the Liberals are in office the more clearly itis seen that the Copserva- tives were not so bad after all. “ Liberal journals and speakers are continually forced to use the tu quoque argument, and not unfrequently to admit that the late Government were right upon points io re~ gard to which before they were declared to be all wrong.” no “extravagence” of the Conservatives upon which the Liberal journals inveighed more strong!'y than the expenditures in connection with the High Commiasionar’s Office in Locdow.

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.

Tne report of the select standing com- mittee on agricalture contains an interest ing chapter on the diseases of animals. Under this beading, Dr. McEachran, Dominion Veterinary Inspector, says thet after mankind cattle are most susceptible to tuberculosie; swine come next; sheep very little; horses but rarely,—but poultry are very susceptible to it. The presence of one affected animal in a stable is, the doctor says, a fertile source of distribution throughout a herd of cattle, especially when housed for the winter; and milk from adiseased cow distributes the dis- ease readily tothe human subject. Dr. McEachran believes that the cattle of Canada are as free from tuberculosis as those of any othercountry in the world. But watchfulness and care in regard to it are nevertheless essential. He suggests that all male animals be subjected to the tuberculin test before being introduced to new herds, and that herds in which its presence is auspected be similarly tested. In destroying animale affected by tuber- culosis it is not, he says, necessary in all cases to condemn them as unfit for human food; but the milk of suspected cows should invariably be boiled before it is used,—indeed all milk would be safer as 4 beverage if boiled.

Sir Arthur, was the youngest eon of Mr. Justice Haliburton, of Nova Scotia, better known as ‘* Sam Slick.” Heserved in the commiseariat department of the army abroad and at home unti] 1870, Since then he has been assistant director and director of supplies and transport, and Assietant Under-Secre- tary and Under-Secretary of State for War, retiring from the latter position about three weeks ago. The review of his career given in the letter concludes as follows : “Ata moment when the tendency is increasing to the ranks of the Imperial service to all the Queen’s sub- jects, in whatever part of the Bmpire they may chance to reside, it cau hardly fail to be a source of gratification and interest to colonists to note the exceptional success which has attended tLe career of this die- tinguished Canadian. Our army boasts already mavy colonial members. Sir Arthur Haliburton’s example encourages the hope that the Imperia) Civil Service way also in the future draw recruits from the field of colonial talent,”

Asa result a number of applications for registration certificates have been received from all the provinces. The act provides that the person to whom aregietration number is sssigned shall have an exclusive right to use it to desig- nate the dairv products he manufactures. This means that he obtains free of eost what is practically @ trade mark under which he may make a name for the butter or cheese which he puts on the market.
