MANY DON'T KNOW
HEART AFFECTED.
lore People Than are Aware of 1t
Have heart Diaeabe.
"'If examinations were made of every-
one, people would be rrurprised at the num-
ber of ppeersogr walking *.bout suffering tom
iaeart disease."
This startling statement was made by r
doctor et *. recent inquest. "I should not
like to say that heart disease is as common
es this would imply," said the expert,
"but I ant sure that the number of persons
going about with weak hearts must be very
large."
"Hundreds of people go about their deity
work on the serge of death, and yet do not
know it. It is only when the shock pones
that kills there that the unsuspected weak -
nese of the heart is made apparent."
".But undoubtedly heart weakness, not
disease, is mere prevalent nowadays. i
should think that the stress of living, the
wear and rush of modern business life,
have a lot to do with heart trouble."
There is no doubt but that this is correct,,
and we would strongly advise arty one
suffering in anyway from heart trouble to

NOTES AND COMME NTS
Houseboats, whioh are at present
practically unknown in Germany, are to
be built for the first time there by a firm
at Stralau, after the English pattern.
It is most satisfactory to note that
while the 'amount of freight carried
through Canadian canals last year
showed a reduotion of over 3,000,000
tons, the decrease was entirely con-
fined to United States business, and
that there wes an actual increase of
over 88,000 tons in Canadian traffic.
This shows the comparatively slight
extent to whioh this country was af-
fected by the bard times, as compared
with the repnblio,-Ottawa Citizen.
The diversified farm has got to Dome,
but it will not greatly resemble the old,
haphazard, mixed farm. It will result
from an intelligent understanding of
the laws of nature as applied to agricul-
ture, rather than from a sentimental
desire to farm as our fathers did. It
will be soientifio in its conception and
businesslike in its management. . .
Such farms so managed exist already on
the western plains; all our farmers are
not soil robbers. No man can render a
greater service to -day to agriculture and
the future welfare of his country than
by establishing and maintaining snoh a
farm, embodying the findings of sound
agricultural science and characterized
in its management by strong business
sense. -Winnipeg Free Press.
In the county of Carleton, rural tele-
phones have boomed as a result of the
saving from destruction by fire, through
their instrumentality, of the home of
one of the subscribers. The residence
of a subsoriber caught fire, the blaze
starting in the roof. Neighbors at a
distance, in whose home there was also
a phone noticed the blaze and calling to
the occupants of the house which had
begun to burn, apprised thein of the
trouble. To them the call was in the
nature of news for they were unaware
of the presence of danger. Through the
warning they were enabled to begin
work on the fire while it was still in an
incipient stage, and managed to extin-
guish it with but small Ioee, fled it
been ;eeoessary, the whole neigtborhocd
could have been summoned, as phones
are now pretty well distributed in the
Locality. This is only one of the many
advantages to come from the telephone
on concession lines.

Not Understood
TAXATION PER CAPITA IN VAR-
IOUS COUNTRIES.
By a timely ooneurrenoe with the dis-
closure of the British budget there ap-
petro an article in the Fortnightly
whish throws a rather disconcerting
light upon the financial position of this
country. That Great Britain is the
richest country in she world is an idea
generally held by its people, but J. Ellis
Barker, in The Fortnightly, undertakes
to show that the idea is i11 founded and
that the populattou is nevertheless the
most highly taxed of civilized peoples.
The following table is from an inquiry
recently conducted for the German Min-
istry of France and shows the taxation
per capita in various countries:

--Hence their treatments fait.
It is not so very many years since dis-
eases of the nerves were attributed to the
presence of evil spirits and more recent-
ly sufferers from nervous derangements
have been told that they only imagine
they are sick.
Now the very best authorities claim
as did Dr. Chase that the Doily way to
cure diseases of the nerves is to make
the blood rioh, xed and nutritious and to
build ap the Wasted nerve cells by such
treatment as Dr. Chase's Nerve Food,
Mrs, W. R. Sutherland, St. Andrews,
Man., writes: "In 1903 I was etrielcell
with paralysis, fell helplessly to the
floor and had to be carried to bed, The
doctors pronounced it a bad case as I
had no power in my tongue and left

Mr. Barker proceeds to show that sev-
eral of the alleged proofs of British su'
premaoy in point of wealth are fictitious
If money is cheaper in England than
elsewhere, he argues that it is because
her stagnant industries do not find em-
ployment for it. "Money," he says, "is
as a rule dear in Germany and the Unit-
ed States, because the rapidly expand-
ing industries of these countries non-
atantly absorb the .floating supply of
money and keep is down.
WHERE PERFUMES COME FROM.+
The little flower gardens near the
little town of Graeae in Southeast
France have frequently been desoribed.
It is the perfume centre of France and
of the world. Ten thousand million
pounds of flowers are there annually
converted into essences and extracts.
Roses, jasmines, violets and tnberoeee,
and cassias are raised by the common
people, and then converted into extraots
and essences by the process of macera-
tion. Square glass trays are motored in
wooden frames and spread over with
half an inch of fat or pure grease. The
freshly gathered flowers are spread over
the layer of grease, and renewed every
morning. The power of grease to ab-
sorb odors enables manufacturers to
secure most of the fragrance of flowers,
and then when soaked in alcohol the
grease separates from ire odors. The
alcohol retains the fragrance and makes
the manufacture of perfumes simple and
efficient.
Many woods, such as aloe, stinted, and
cedar, are used for manufacturing per-
fumery, and also barks of trees, such as
the cinnamon and casoarilla, and the
leaves o1 others.
YOU CAN CURE CATARRH.
J. H. Taylor, 54 Bond St., Toronto,
Breathed Hyomei and Cured a
Long -Standing Case of Chronic
Catarrh that Defied all Other
Remedies, also Toronto and New
York Specialists.
Without taking a drop of medioine
into the stomach, J. H. Taylor, 54 Bond
Street, Toronto, tells how the distress-
ing troubles of Catarrh were overcome
by simply inhaling Hyomei air. It's
the history of tens of thousands similar
ogees on record, proving that Hyomei
can be depended upon to euro Catarrh,
Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds and Croup.
It has no equal for any distress of the
breathing organs.
Mr. Taylor says: "Some years ago
while on a hunting trip in Northern
Canada, I contracted a severe cold that
settled in my head and finally affected
my throat, It. rapidly developed into
catarrh and caused a miserable throat
weakness. lily head would become
clogged during the night and there was
a catarrhal dropping from the nose into
the throat, Many days I had been un-
able to breathe other than through my
month, and the constant hawking and
spitting was almost unbearable. I had
been treated by the best throat speotal-
ists here and in Now York, but noth-
ing benefitted my condition. I obtain-
ed Hyomei and soon found relief, the
throat dropping oeased and my head
began to clear. I continued with
Hyomei for aix weeks and after that
time I was well in every detail, There
has been no return of the trouble since,
and I feel grateful in speaking welt of
Hyomei, as it cured nee when all Slee
failed." Sold at Walton McKibben's.
CROPS OF ONTARIO IN MIDDLE
OF MAY.
The Ontario Drop report, giving con-
ditions about the middle of may, has
jag been foamed. Summarized, the
condition of the drop is as folioWs:
ran Wheat ---Reports vary. On sandy
boil the Drop is looking well, though
late, while on clay soil the fleIda ate
not only backward; but thin and
spotted owing to the excessive moist-
ure,
Winter Wheat ---Better than the fall
wheat and looking very well.
OIover-OM meadows poor, new mea-
dows promising.
Spring sowing--Permers, on high or
well drained toil have made fair heath
way, but the bixik of the farmers were
not more than half -way through in the
eeeend week in May.
Fruit Trees --dill classes of orchards
trees are in good. obndition, Barring
late frosts and heavy mine at time of
bloom a good yield may be looked for.

Why the Mason and Risch piano
action is never thrown out
of alignment.
THE regulating rail is the backbone of the action-
on it the level of the keys depends. In most
pianos this rail is merely a wooden bar which is affect-
ed by all changes in climate. It warps or twists and
throws the whole action out of alignment so that it
loses its responsiveness of touch and the hammers
cannot strike the strings accurately.
Mas n andRisch
The piano with a soul.
In the Mason and Risch piano action the regulat-
ing rail is of wood encased in brass. This supplies a
wooden bed for the screw eyes yet prevents all
possibility of warping on account of atmospheric
changes.
To this regulating rail is due, to a great ex-
tent, the perfect alignment of the Mason and
Risch piano action. After years , of use a
Mason and Risch piano is just as sensi-
tively responsive to the touch and as
perfect in action as when it first left
our warerooms.
We want to tell you more
about the exclusive features of
the Mason and Risch piano.
Will you call at our warerooms
or shall we mail you some

THE POWER Dir THE TONGUE. James
8:1-12.
Golden Text - Whoaa keepeth his
mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul
from troubles. Prov. 21:23.
This chapter continues the thought of
last week's lesson, based on the previous
chapter.
Verse 1 -What class of persons are
most likely to want to rule, or be
"masters," those engaged in good works
or those who neglect them?
Will one who is in rapt iove with his
fellows want to rule them, or will he
judge them harshly?
Unfaithful Christians always put up
a high standard for others; what ef-
fect will that have upon the standard
with whioh God will measure them?
(See Matt. 7:1.6.)
Verse 2 -How much of oar trouble
and how much of the trouble we make
for others is caused by our tongues?
If a man does not do any harm by
his words is he very apt to do any
otherwise?
I1 a man says hard and unkind
things about his neighbors, and in-
tentionally wounds the feelings of
others by his words, is he necessarily
a bad man?
Is the control of the tongue the key to
the control of the entire man?
Verse 3 -It takes an iron bit to con-
trol a hem, what is the "bit" whioh
will effectually control the tongue?
In wh"a.t respect is an ungoverned
tongue like a runaway horse with a
broken bit, atod what are generally
the results in eaels. case? (This
question must be answered in writ-
ing by members of the elub.)
Verses 4.5 -It is actually so, that
the tongue is to the man what the
rudder is to the ship, that is, does
the tongue govern tie influence of the
man?
Is it necessary at all times to watch
our tongues, compelling them to refrain
from wrong words, and to use right
words; just as the man at the wheel of
a ship controls the rudder with vigilant
watchfulness?
Is the tongue capable of setting a
church or a neighborhood all ablaze
with scandal, just as a match may Tet
fire to a city?
Verse 6 --What are some of the many
"iniquities" which the tongue can
cause?
Can you recall and mention some of
the moral poison omitted by an evil
tongue?
Do persons with an evil tongue al-
ways draw their inspiration from
"hell?" •
Verses 7 8 - Man can do very won-
derful things, In training animals and
controlling the forces of nature, but can-
not "tame" the human tongue, nor
destroy its poison; to whom may we
apply to have this effectually done?
Verses• 9 12 - If a man uses his
tongue both for bad and for good,
for "blessing and cursing," does this
not stamp him as a rank hypoorite?
Is it possible for a;person with an evil
tongne, to be at the same time welt
pleasing to God?

The late president of the Royal As-
trouamiCal Society of Great Britain
referred to the value of the comet's
secret in his retiring address. He
thought that we do not sufficiently ap-
preciate the wondrous spectacle of a
comet's tail. It shows us hundreds of
billions of cubic miles of space simul-
taneously glowing with Iuminosity
whose origin is a mystery.
It is a gigantic experiment in a
branch of physics of which we as yet
know very little. The cornet is im-
mersed in what we may well regard
as a vacuum; at least it is a far more
perfect vacuum than we can produce.
Yet the persistent glow of the comet's'
tail shows that there is no real vacuum
there, but n vast quantity of extreme-
ly attenuated matter• which no doubt
is the cause of the luminosity.
We ought, Professor Newell thinks,
to awake to the importance of this
hint. "Who knows," he says, "wheth-
er, if we could discover a method of
disrupting gases and vapors in ultra
vacuous spaces artificially maintained
on earth, we should not have a meth-
od of artificial illumination as econom-
ical as that of the glowworm and as
brilliant as is needed for our nocturnal
life?"
This thing may really be within our
reach, although at the present time
we cannot even suggest to ourselves
exactly how it is to be attained. But
the tendency of itcent investigation is
in that direction. As Sir John Her-
schel said of another discovery which
was just at the door, "\Ve can feel it
trembliug along the farreaching line
of our analysis."
There are not a few mere, who are
regarded by their harder headed scien-
tific brethren as "dreamers," who pic-
ture to themselves a fast coming time
wheu we shall not only obtain light at
as cheap a rate as the firefly has it.
but when we shall have tapped the ex-
haustless stores of energy that sleep
all around us in nature.
We are like one1 in a dream sus-
pended In the midst of a vast work-
shop crowded with'multitud nous ma-
cbines, all whirling and fluttering in
a storm of energies. but which he can
neither control nor understand. If
we could see these things they might
terrify us, as the dreamer is terrified
by the whirring belts and spinning
wheels of his v ision, seeming to grasp
at his bile.
If the scientific inyestigator Heeds
to establish a raison d'etre in the eyes
of the public, which cannot follow
either his processes or his results, he
has only to point to the fact that the
greatest practical discoveries of mod-
ern times have come out of the labora-
tories from things as incomprehensible
to the unitiated as so much magic. It
is a well known fact that the growing
might of Germany springs from her
devotion to "pure research."
Referring again to the pregnant hint
of the comet, Professor Newall is
clearly right in saying, "Here is a
theme that should stir up the most
commercial mind in the support of Bs-
tronomy."-Garrett P. Serviss in New
York American.
On the Cars of New York.
The surface cars of New Yorlc carry
nn each line as different a nationality
as If each belonged to a different coun-
try. On the Eighth avenue line there
are mostly colored people; on the Sixth
avenue they are largely Americans, if
there are any Americans in New York;
on the Broadway cars there are styl-
ishly dressed New Yorkers; on the
Third avenue Irish and Jewish people
predominate, on the Second avenue
Jewish, Italian, 'Hungarian, Swedish
and German, while on the surface cars
that run along Avenue A you see
every foreign nationality under the
sun, all bareheaded. -New York Press.
