numbers of the people, and relieving those whose poverty was extreme, the expenditure from the public funds largely increased. The necessities of the public service also called for an increased outlay. Large numbers of the permauent poor had also to be provided for. Owing to the decrease of the purchasing power of the working classes,the importations of dutiable goods declined. In presence of a falling revenue and an increased expenditure, the Government found that a revision of the tariff was indispensable and an increase of |taxation necessary. Duties have been pretty generally increased. On some articles, such |as manufactured goods, the increase is but 24 |per cent., being an advance from 17} to 20 }per cent. Tea is increased to 20 per cent. ad )valorem, and 3 cents per pound specific. On | the cheaper grades the increase is hardly per- jceptible. On flour the increase is 5 cents per | barrel, and on molasses | cent per gallon. The increase of duty on pork is 45 cents per barrel, being now $1.75. Coffee has advanced | cent per lb., being now for green 5 cents, for reast- ed or ground 7c per lb. Butter is increased from $2 to $2.60 per cwt.; sugar is increased $1 per cwt. and will now pay as follows : Bastard, $3.50; loaf and retined, $4.50; unre- fined, $3. Tobacco will be as follows, the ‘advance being per pound, 4 cents: Manufac- tured, including leaf, stripped or partly manu- factured, 5 per cent. ad valorem, and the | pound 20c.; leat and stem the pound 20c.; , stem for snuff the cwt., 60c. Vegetables— | Cabbages, the 600, $2; potatoes, turnips, etc., ithe bushel, 10c. On ale and_ porter the increase is 5c. per gallon, being now 20c.; brandy will pay $2.40 per gallon, being an increase of 40c.; whiskey $2.15, increase of 50c.; rum $1.65, increse 27c.; sherry, 114 per cent. ad valorem and $1.20 per gal., increase 20c.; Spanish red, Lisbon, etc., 40c. per gal- lon, increase 5. There is no increase on ready- made clothing, which is already 25 per cent. The increase of revenue thus obtained will, it is calculated, eqalize income and expenditure. Though the people are less able to pay, the taxation imposed under the Newfoundland tariff is more burdensome than that of the
obliged to import a large part of their flour and provisions and nearly all their manufac- sane goods,

How Can We Draw in the Poor?
That is almost the only religious question worth asking nowadays. That is what bothers and interests every religious conven- tion. Every church and every minister must answer it for himself; but the answer must be found, or the work is proved a failure. Anything is better than nothing. Real ear- nestness and hearty sympathy will find the answer somehow. The poor have human middle classes.
They have pride. The man who is in earnest to reach them will get them. He must prove that he loves them, and that his interest in their welfare is genuine. There is no mechanical way of drawing in the poor, that reason the methods cannot be laid down for some one else to follow. Chief
must have in the poor. Any mountebank of a theorist who really cares for the poor, no matter how foolish his panacea, can find a crowd to follow him. What keeps the poor away is, more than anything else, a proud, pharasaica) heart, which says, “I am better than thon.” It says too often, ‘I was poor like you, and I became rich and increased in oods, because I was better and more clever or industrious than you, I could rise, and if you don't, itis your own fault. I have no sympathy with your laziness, your unthrift, and your vice. 1 don’t want your company. I have left it; and now keep by yourself and 1 will keep by myself.” Does the Church ever seem to talk so to the poor? If so, it is no wonder that it does not draw them —Jnde- pendent.

The Unseen Fercees of Nature.
Nature is ever undoing what she has already done, ever puliing her own work to pieces, as though dissatisfied with it, and wishing to build it up auew. She brings flowers, trees, men and women into exist- ence, tends them with loving care, brings them to maturity, and consigns them to decay. The sun rises to the zenith, only to sink again beneath the horizon. Winter melts into spring, and spring into summer ; but summer passes into autumn, and autumn into winter again. And so it is with greater things aswell. The earth upon which we live had its beginning ; can we doubt it also must méet its end’ Even as'we pass our little day upon it, we can see it change before our eyes, viewing, as it were, but one short scene in the mighty drama upon which the curtain must fall at Forces, animate and inanimate, are ever at work—above, below and arouud us. Islands are raised from the sea ; mountains open, and belch forth their fiery torrents upon the country for miles around ; floods perform their work of destruction ; glaciers move slowly forward, and sweep lhamfets and villages away. And the unforseen forces of nature are working as surely and as steadilyas the seen. That ‘‘we die daily is no mere figure of speech; at every breath we cast off part of our substance, effete matter from which the life has de- parted, And the earth dies daily, too.
Sratistics show that more people die of consumption than from any other cause. Slight colds are the true seeds of consump- tion. Beware of the slightést cough. Adam- son's Botanie Balsam st#tids without a peer. Trial size 10 cents. dy wy lw

Laureille 2 cut the antenne of an ant and other ants came and covered up the wounded part with a trans- parent fluid secreted from their mouths.
If a chimpanzee is wounded, it stops the bleeding by placing its hand on the wound or dressing it with leaves or grass. When the animal has a wounded jeg or arm hanging on, it completes the amputation by means of its teeth. A dog, on being stung in the muzzle by a viper, was observed to plunge its head repeatedly fer several days into running water. This animal eventually recovered. A sporting dog was run over by a carriage During three weeks in winter it remained lying in a brook where its food was taken to it. This animal recovered.

under a counier, avoiding light and heat, although it habitually kept close to the fire. It adopted a general treatment, rest and abstinence from food. The local treatment consisted in licking the upper surface of the paw, which it applied to the wounded eye, again licking the paw when it became dry. Animals suffering from traumatic fever treat themselves by the continued application of cold water, which M. Delaney considers to be more certain than any of the other any of the other methods. In view of these interesting facts we are, he thinks, forced to admit that hygiene and therapeutics as practised by animals may, in the interest of psychology, be studied with advantage. Many physicians have been keen obse: vers of animals, their diseases, and the methods adopted by them in their efforts to cure themselves, and have availed of the know- ledge so brought under their observation in their practice.

Afghan Affairs.
remained
The attitude of some of the native tribes in Afghanistan towards the Ameer and the rea- sons assigned for their hostility, indicate that the Russians have been quietly working for the Ameer’s overthrow. The sentiment of these dissatisfied tribes is distinctly anti- British, and the Ameer has appealed to the authorities of India for help. The progress made by the builders of the Quetta Railway excite their suspicions, and they declare that the Ameer has sold the country to Great Bri- tain. So long as they shall be in this state of mind it will be an easy matter for Russia to lay the foundation for a quarrel that can be used tofurther any designs that she may en- tertain with regard to Afghanistan or India. The latest utterance of the Svef, a prominent Russian military organ, may foreshadow the absorption by Russia of the region imme- diately north of the Hindoo Koosh Moun tains.

Applauding in Church.
While Dr. Leonard, of the Central Metho- dist church of Springtield, O., was preaching the other evening some of the brethren and sisters applauded his remarks on the duty of the Christian in regard to prohibition. There- upon Peter Slack, a prominent member and a respecied citizen, arose and shouted; ‘‘I pro- test against this clapping of hands for a dema.- gogue in the house of God.” The preacher turned white and the congregation sat silent and expectant. Dr. Leonard, after a moment's glance at Mr. Slack, continued in a mild tone, **And he never resigns,” referring, sup- posed, to Slack’s resignation from the Board of Trustees when Leonard ran tor Governor. Then Slack sat down and the services contin- ued quietly; but there was a tremendous lot of talking that night after meeting.

ii Astonishing Success.
It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee’s German Syrup to let its wonrderfu qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Couglis, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No person can use it without im- mediate relief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying con- sumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 50,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and no one case where it failed was reported. Such a medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known, Ask your druggist about it. Samples bottles to try, sold at 10 cents.

The Fatal Bean.
A little girl in Mansfield, 9., playing with beans, drew a large one through her wind- pipe into the left ung. A_ skilful physician was sent for. He would not perform an operation, but said that the effect of the bean on the lung would be to proauce violent coughing, that the bean would be throwa into the windpipe, and then it could be removed, The child was taken to Cleveland anda sur- geon kept constantly in attendance. At length the coughing came on and the bean was lodged in the windpipe, as expected. Two surgeons were present and at once oper- ated upon the child. The bean was removed and the child appeared to be ip a fair way to recover, but it died next day.

Two curious pictures are now amusing the Germans. The first is, “Where is the Peace- maker?” Itshows the conventional figures of a Russian, an Englishman, a Frenchman anda Chinaman. When the picture is folded these four figures are merged into one——that of Prince Bismarck. The same result is at- tained in the second picture, representing General Boulanger, M.
