A special dispatch to the Daily Bulletin,
from Vancouver, says : The following
resolution was passed by the Vancouver
Board of Trade : "That this board depre-
ciates in the strongest terms the grossly
exaggerated report sent abroad concern-
ing tie effect of the recent high tido in
the Gulf of Georgia and lower Fraser
river, such reports being calculated to in-
flict a serious injury to this section of the
province."
There were 59 failures in the Dominion
last week, as against 6) the previous week:
and 55 for the corresponding week of last
year. Ontario leads with 29, only one be-
ing rated as high as $5.000, the rest being
small and of little importance. Quebec
had 18, being 4 more than those of the
previous week. One was rated. at 52,0 0,
1 under $1,000, and the balance had our
lowest credit or blank rating. Nova Sco-
tia had 1, New Brunswick b and British
Columbia 5. None were recorded in Prince
Edward Island and Manitoba.
The business situation in Toronto is
unchanged. There is a moderate move-
ment in staple goods, but in. most lines
there is no increase as compared with
January of last year. The feeling pre-
vails pr tty generally, however, that a
tun for the better is at hand. March -
chants, both wholesale and retail, have
for a year or so past. been restricting
their purchases, and the result is that
stocks of general merchandise are pro-
bably smaller than for several years
past. This of itself is a favorable feature.
and with a return of the confidence ex-
pected the trade w•illbe in a good position
to take advantage of the favorable cir-
cumstances. .A. better market for sugars

foreshadowed are the Kingston & Ganan-
oque Electric Railway; the Grand Valley

four cities, Kingston, Hamilton, London
and St. Thomas, making efforts to give
better, quicker and cheaper service to the

boats between the Port and Conneaut, 0.
It is expected that everything will be
ready by July lst, and on that date the
railway ferry boats will begin to run be-
tween these two points. As the water in
the harbor does not freeze, the system
will be in operation the whole year. Port
Dover is the terminus of two branches of
the Grand Trunk, the Georgian Bay &

Agitation in the world of homeopathic
medicine has been its very soul of prog-
ress. as in politics and religion—the diffi-

of men have been parent to the disagree-

bodies have been elevated. So with most
of our famous preparations—foremost in
illustration of which truth stands the
world-famous remedy to general debility
and langour " Quinine Wine," and which,
when obtainable in its genuine strength,
is a miraculous creator of appetite, vital-
ity and stimulant, to the general fertility
of the system, Quinine Wine, and its
improvement, has, from the first discovery
of the great virtues of Quinine as a medi-
cal agent, been one of the most thoroughly
discussed remedies ever offered to the
public. It is one of the great tonics and
natural life-giving stimulants which the
medical profession have been compelled
to recognize and prescribe. Messrs.
Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given
to the preparation of their pure Quinine
Wine the great care due to their im-
portance, and the standard excellence
of the article which they offer to the pub-
lic comes into the market purged of all
the defects which skilful observation and
scientific opinion has pointed out in the
less perfect preparations of the past. All
druggists sell it.
WATCHES THAT TALK.
You Couldn't Miss Your Train With One
of These.
Watches that will tell you in so many
words what o'clock it is, and clocks that
will tell you it is time to get up, are
among the latest results of the application
of the phonograph. Nor are these mere
playthings, but appear to be instruments
of real service. They are described in a
paper by Re' erschon in La Nature. These
novel chronometers are the invention of
M. Sivan, of Geneva.
Ordinarily repeating watch s are fur-
nished with a driving wheel, which ad-
mits of the attachment of a small- move-
ment operating the hammers that strike
the sounding bell. This admits of strik-
ing the hours, the quarters, and even the
minutes, if desired. This striking, essen-
tially monotonous, calls for a great deal
of attention on the part of the owner of
of the watch, who is forced to count
the strokes and to distinguish the in-
tervals between hours and quarters, be-
tween quarters and minutes. Sivan's
wateh is free from all these inconvenien-
ces ; the sounding bellsAare replaced by a
circular plate of vulcanized rubber, with
striated furrows and the hammers by a
point resting upon the furrows.
When a rubber plate is inserted in its
place with the watch going, its face is
traversed by a point which, vibrating
with the sinuosities of the furrow, brans
lates the vibrations into spoken words:
"It is 8 o'clock," "it is half past 12," etc.
The furrows are, in fact, exact reprodue ;
tions upon a plane, of the helicoidal strie
produced by the human voice on a phono-
graphic cylinder.
Mrs, Harry Pearson, Hawtrey, writes :
"For about three months '1 was troubled

rop & Lyman's 'Vegetable Discovery,
from which I derived considerable bene-
fit, I then procured another, and before
it was used fay aMotion was eompleteiy
gone, and I havee not had an attack of it
since.."

Ilon't Make Any Mistake
When you are threatened with consump-
tion of lung troubles and get the wrong
kind of Emulsion. There is only one
perfect, pleasant and effective preparation
of that life-giving substance, and it is
Miller's Emulsion. Thera is %o bad taste

cod fish is retained and incorporated with
the hypophosphites of lime and soda,
making the west potent blood -maker
known to science. It has saved thousan's

old methods of consumption treatment.
Miller's Emulsion is the great nerve
strengthener and blood -maker, and cures
coughs, colds, bronchitis, scrofula and all
lung affections. In big bottles, 50c. and
$1, at all drug stores.
The great lung healer is found in that
excellent medicine sold as Bickle's Anti -
Consumptive Syrup. It soothes and di-
minishes the sensibility of the membrane
of the throat and air passages, and is a
sovereign remedy for all coughs, colds,.
hoarseness, pain or soreness in the chest,
bronchitis, etc. It has cured many when
supposed to be far advanced in consump-
tion.
A BATTLE FOR LIFE.
TILE RESCUE OF A C. P. R. OF-
FICIAL'S WIFE.
Helpless and Bed -ridden for Months -
S275 Spent in Medical Treatment
Without Avail -Her Early Decease
Looked for as Inevitable -But Health
and Strength Have Been Restored.
From the Owen Sound Times.
Last fall when the Times gave an ac-
count of the miraculous cure of Mr. Wm.
Belrose through the use of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, we had little
idea that we would be called upon'to
write up a case which is even more re-
markable. The case referred to is that
of Mrs. John C. Monnell, whose cure has
been effected by these marvellous little
messengers of health. The Times' re-
porter was met at the door by Mrs. Mon-
nell, who, though showing a few traces
of the suffering she had undergone, mov-
ed about very sprightly. With appar-
ently all the gratitude of a man who had
been saved out of the deepest affliction,
Mr. Monnell gave the following account
of his wife's miraculous cure : I have
been in the employ of the C. P. R. at To-
ronto Junction for some time. In August
last year. after confinement, my wife
took a chill, and what is commonly known
as milk leg set in. When I came home
from my work I was informed of the fact,
and next morning galled the family
physician. The limb swelled in a very
short time to an enormous size. Every
means known was adopted to reduce the
inflammation, but without avail. Con-
sulting physicians were called in, but all
the satisfaction they could give me was
that the doctothin attendance were doing
their utmost. A tank was rigged up, a
long line of rubber hose attached and
wound around the afflicted limb and ice
water allowed to trickle down through the
piping to relieve the pain and reduce the
inflammation above the knee. The leg
was opened and perforated, a tube insert-
ed from the thigh to the ankle with the
hope that it would carry off the pus which
formed. For five long anxious months I
watched the case with despair, while my
wife was unable to moue herself in bed.
At the end of that time she was placed in
a chair where she spent another three
months.. To add to the complications
gangrene set in, and for weeks there was
a fight for life, At last the physicians
gave up. They said the only hope was
in the removal of my wife to the hospital.
After a brief consultation she emphatical-
ly refused to go, stating that if she had
to die she would die amongst her little
ones. At this time she could not put her
foot to the ground. Her nominal weight
was 135 pounds when in good health, but
the affliction reduced her to .a living
skeleton, for she lostsixty-five pounds in
the five months. To all human intel-
ligence it was simply a case 61 waiting
for the worst. Up to this time I had not
thought of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People, until one day I came across
an advertisement and determined to try
them. This was two months ago, just
about the time we were moving up here
from the Junction."
At this point Mrs. Monnell took up the
story of the marvellous cure, and corro-
borated what her 'husband stated. Con -
timing she said : "After using a few
boxes I could walk on crutches, and after
their further use I threw away my
crutches and am now doing my own
housework. .The limb is entirely healed
up, and the cords, which in the terrible
ordeal had been forced out of their places,
have come back to their natural position.
And to show how complete has been my
recovery, I am pleased to say that I have
recovered my lost weight and five pounds
more. I now weigh 140 pounds.
"Wo spent 5275 in doctors' fees and
other expenses without avail, before be-
ginning the use of Dr Williams' Pink
Pills," said Mr. Monnell, "and. it seems
marvellous that my wife, who a few
months ago was considered past human
aid, has by this wonderful medicine been
restored to health and strength," and the
Times concurs in the camel -mien, •
Mr. Monnell is one of the C. I', R., staff
of clerks at this port, and he is always
of the one effected. But
willing to to tell ime c
there are thousands of witnesses to the
trueh,. f his statements both in Owen
Sound and at •Toronto, where he resided
up to two months ago.
Dr, Williams' Pink Pills are offered
with a confidence that they ar,' the only
perfect and unfailing blood builder and
nerve restorer, and where given a fair
trial disease and suffering must vanish.

"just as good,"
The Grateful Cockroach.
The following story should surely draw
tears from the student of the humbler
forms of natural life. Tho narrator
vouches for its veracity, and leaves it to
the gentle reader to appraise the value of
the voucher:
found " he says, "a eockroach strug-
gling in a ]bowl of water. I took half a
walnut shell for a boat, put him into it,
gave him two wooden toothpicks fir oars
and left him. Next morning he had put
a piece of white Cott n thread on one of
the toothpicks and set it n end as a sig-
nal of distress. He had a hair on the oth-
er toothpick, and there he sat a -fishing.
The cockroach, exhausted, had fallen
asleep. The sight melted me to tears. i'
took that cockroach out, gave him a
spoonful of gruel and left. The animal
never for got my kindness, and now my
house is chock full of friends and rela-
tions."
