a wood-pile-he might have set fire
to it and caused some loss to some

The advocates of Incidental
protection" are in favor of reducing
or abolishing the tariff on every
thing except the industries in which
they themselves are interested, and
as they are all interested in some
particular industry, which they
think ought to be protected, they
cannot arrive at any definite UNDER
standing. We think Incidental
protection" is a meaningless ex-
preston, unless it means universal
protection"

DR.. Wild. of Toronto, announces
that Adam was seven feet high.
His reason for this conclusion is
that the first man was perfect, and
seven is perfect number. "Three
is the Trinity number, and stands
for the Creator; four stands for the
world; thus seven includes the
Creator and the created. Seven
means completion. There are
seven virtues that make q perfect
man-virtue, knowledge, temper
auce. patience, godliness, brotherIy
kindness and charity" If it re-
quires all these to make a perfect
man, we know of some men in this
parish who are not more than two
and half feet high, scant meas
