Btbvbnbon, the new proprietor of the Brooklyn Exponent has made a wonderf ui improvement in that paper. Aylmee is a thriving little town in Canada about half way between Detroit and Toronto. The farmers who live in the vicinity of Aylmer unfortunately are not protected by the American tarifl but the Aylmer Express, of July 14, 1898, gives the following quotations of farm produce: Wheat 35c. oats 30c, beans $1.00, corn 45c, eggs 10c, butter 17c, hay $6.00, live hogs $4 75. A comparison of the prices paid on that date for similar produce in villages of this size on the American sideof the border should furnish food for reflection.__ The war with Spain is the most absorbing subject that occupies the mïnds of the people at the present time. Messrs. Rand. McNally & Co., Chicago and New York. have issued a new war atlas which no doubt will meet with a rapid sale. Mapsofthe World, North America, Europe, Spain, the West Indies, Cuba, Havana, the Philippines, etc, are given on a scale large enough to be valuable for ready reference. This atlas is entirely new and just out. It can not be bought at any store. The Democbat has arranged with the publishers for a large edition. The price is 50c, or with one year's subscription to The Democbat $1.00.
