The Week's Commercial Summary's The world's supply of wheat shows an lacrosse of 3,877,000 bushels for the 'week. Within a day or two $200,000 in gold leas been withdrawn from the New York sub -treasury for export to Canada. The stocks of wheat at Port Arthur Wad Fort Wilfani are now 648,091 bushels, as against 198,641 a week ago, and 992,717 bushels a year ago. The earnings of Canadian Pacific for the week ended September 21 were $422; 000, an increase of $12,000 as compared with corresponding week of last year. The visible supply of wheat in the 1nited States and Canada increased 1,- 293,000 bushels last week, and the total 3s 89,885,000, as compared with 70,189,- 000 bushels a year ago. Wheat on pas- sage to Europe 24,400,000 bushels, as against 27,750,000 a year ago. It is no longer profitable to export gold from New York to London direct, the foreign exchange market being weaker at 4.89 for demand bills. The old plan of making triangular deals between Lon- don, the continent and, New York, can, however, come into play once more, gold being shipped from New York to Berlin or Paris. Our commercial summary from New York, giving the condition of business throughout the United States, does not report any improvement in trade. Un- settled weather has to a considerable ex- tent depressed business in various dis- tricts, but there has been a fairly com- pensating increase in the movement in other directions. In the west and east an increased demand for money has been /experienced ; there has also been an advance in the price of cotton, as well as flour, wheat and wool. In some parts of tl-a south reports are. rncouraging. Among the lines showing improvement wholesale grocery is noticeable. In San Francisco trade is quiet; the canned fruit output of California is equal to that of last year. Generally there is a more hopeful feeling among business men. and the fall trade so far appears to be pro- mising. Here and There. When a train is telescoped it is not surprising that the passengers should see stars. Ex -Queen Liliuokalani has been par- doned, but we doubt if she herself has forgiven her enemies as yet. It is a very comforting thought that the baseball season will not centimes much longer, and that there is hardly time enough left for the Bostons to get to the bottom of the list. Our schools are overcrowded almost to the extent " that the pupils' brains are sometimes overcrowded. "The autumn belt for young women is to be about seven inches broad," the fashion writers tell us. but if it is only the color of a coat sleeve that won't em- barrass the young men. It looks now as if a Cromwell craze might be the successor of the Napoleon craze. If hero worship. as Carlyle main- tained, is one of the noblest acts of which man is capable, the race is certainly be- moming very noble. There are 50,000 people in this country who in one way and another get their living through the manufacture and sale of bicycles. Only keep on talking about woman riders and the number of bene- ficiaries will double ere long. The man who writes threatening letters etught to be punished, for all such busi- rtess is cowardly and cruel. But the nnen who write threatening letters are not usually dangerous, on the same principle that the dogs that bark the loudest bite the least. . The man who threw the bomb in the Rothschild bank gave as his reason. "hatred of wealth." But he probably did not hate wealth in itself, but only hated to have it in the hands of other people. This bomb -thrower would un- doubtedly love wealth as well as other sten if it were only his own wealth.

Butrer, the parish priest of this district. • Reports having Dome to the ears of our reporter about a wonderful cure effected by • Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, he called.on. Mr. Butler tq seek information: on the subject,' Mr. Butler spoke in very high termsof the Pink Pills, and said they had saved him untold suffering, and perhaps saved his life. The reverend gen- tleman felt a little hesitancy at giving a nubile testimonial at first, but after oar reporter remarked that if one was really. grateful for a remarkable eure,he thought it was his duty to give it publicity for humanity's sake, he cheerfully consented. His story in his own words is as follows: —"I was led to take Pink Pills through reading the testimonials in the papers. I was troubled.•with an abscess in my side and had tried many different medicines without avail: I took medical advice on the subject, and was told I would have to undergo an operation to cure it which would cost zee about 2100. At last I de- termined to try Pink Pills, but without a great' feeling of faith of their curing me. One box helped me and I resolved to take a three months' course and give them a fair trial.- I did so, and to -day I am com- pletely cured; of the abscess in my side through using Pink Pills, and I always recommend friends of mine to use ;Pink Pills fardiseases of the blood." As Father Butter is, well known throughout this county his statefnent is a clincher to the many wonderful testimonials that have appeared in the Gold Hunter from time to time. On enquiring at the stores of J. E. Cushing and N. F. Douglas, it was found that Pink Pills have a sale second to none. Mr. Cushing on being asked if he knew of any cures effeoted by them,replied that he had heard a great many personally say Pink Pills had helped them wonderfully. If given a fair and thorough trial Pink Pills are a pertain oure for all diseases of the bloodand nerves, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, partial paralysis 'ammeter 'at- axia, St. Viths' dance, nervous headaohe, nervous prostration and the tired feeling therefrom, the. after effects of la grippe, dis- eases.depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complexions and are a specific for troubles peculiar to the female system, and in the case 'of men they effect a radi- cal cure in all cases arising from mental worry,overwork, or excesses of any nature.

A Surgeon's Terrible Mistake. "A few years ago," said Charles J. Patterson, of Philadelphia, "I learned the secret of the life of a man who had passed more than a quarter of, a century with scarcely a smile.M,e' 'had been a physician and surgeon,'" '4d on one oc- casion had to remove an injured eye in order to save the other eye and prevent total blindness. The night before the operation he had been drinking heavily with some friends, and, although the fol- lowing morning he was sober, his hand was unsteady and his nerves unstrung. "After administering • chloroform he made a fatal and hombre blunder, re- moving the well eye byy mistake, and thus consigning his patient to perpetual blindness. The moment he discovered his error he turned the man over to a competent surgeon, deeded everything he possessed to him, and hurried- from the neighborhood like a convicted thief. The remainder of his life was one constant round. . of remorse, and he rapidly de- veloped into a confirmed misanthrope. The secret of his life was known to a number 'of people, but when it was final- ly revealed to me it explained a mystery and made me respect the man, for how- ever grave :was his original blunder, which in some respects was, of course, worse than a crime, his repentance was of the most genuine character."

Mexican 1i'a•ontier Bali. Dr. Dewitt,of the army, used to tell in- numerable stories of his experiences, and most of them related to a time when he was stationed et a post down on the Mexi- can frontier. Ho was popular down theta, and deservedly, for he attended the sink for miles around. One time his lYtexican friend determined to do him honor. .Ao-. oordingly they arranged et great ball. Dr. and Mrs, Dewitt were invited, and they wont, the two of than. The ball began early, as Mexican balls do, and the sur - goon and his wife danced in the first 'set. They danced in nearly every Net, in fact, for politonees forbade refusal., and after a fete hours of it they began to be very tired. They were the guests of honor, indeed. '.lime Wore on and still the dance wont on. It went on all night. Finally Dr. DeWitt called one of the men aside.and asked him When in heaven's name the thing was go. ing to be over, "Oh, senor," said the Mexican, :"we have bean waiting these many hours for you to give the signal for the last dam*" HEART DISEASE STRIKES DOWN. ALL CLASSES. The Essential. Matter is to be. Prepared for e ' urn Lrmergency,' It 1s painful to pick, up the daily papers ..and observe how people of all olasees are being stricken down with heart disease and apoplexy.. One day it is the farmer in the field, again the laborer carrying his hod or, as this week,a prominent architect in Ottawa. Perhaps it is not too strong a statement, that 80 per cent. of the people of Canada are afflicted with heart disease to some degree. What a blessing it is then, that there exists a medicine like Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart, which is so. quick in producing relief. Instantly the patient obtains that ease that is so longed for when the heart is afflicted. There is absolutely no oase of heart diserse that it will not help, and with few exceptions, will producea radical cure. +.QUEBEC HEARD FROM; Henry G. Cerro'. M. P., for Ramouraska, Que., Sounds the Praises of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder. It will be noticed by those who have studied the testimonials for this wonder ful catarrh remedy, that they are thor- oughly unseotional in character. Every province in the Dominion, through its members of Parliament, and most promi- nent oitizens,has told of the peculiar effec- tiveness of Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder. It is of a. character that over- comes any local or climatic conditions, and as with Mr. Carroll, it is a most 51- fective remedy for catarrhal troubles, in whatever shape, not omitting hay fever, where it works like a charm,and in every case is speedy in effect.

The news "has been flashed across the wires from the old country that Sir Oliver Mowat, who is there seeking medical ad- vice, is a victim of kidney disease. His friends say that the case is not as alarm- ing as the press reports have stated. But there seems to be no disguising the fact, that with Ontario's Premier, as thousands of others, kidney disease has seized the systexn. It is laying waste the lives of our best people in all parts of the Dominion. And yet those who have learned to use South American Kidney Cure are finding in it a remedy far surpassing a sea voyage, or even the skill of England's greatest physicians. It is a kidney specific, not a cure-all, but as a specialist in this particu- lar it gives relief within six hours 'after the first dose, and renewed health to all who use it. Intense Pain from Sciatica. The Mystic Remedy. South American' Rheumatic Cure Conquers i1. in Two Days. The following Domes from the wealthy lump berman of Merriclville, Out., Mr. E. Errett: For a number of years I have suffered intense pain from rheumatism and sciatica in my left hip. It is needless to say I havo doctored constantly, but without receiving anything but temporary relief. South American Rheumatic Cure was at last tried and its effect was truly magical. In two days the pain was all none, and two bottles of the remedy cured me coni ietel was as so badh that two 9 years I could not lie on my left sine if I got the universe for so doing. At present I have not a symptom of sciatica or rheu- matism, and hence it is with much plea- . surdthat Ireoommend this great remedy;. I know it will .cure. The British ultimatum in the matter of the Sze -Chuen riots has been issued, and within four days an edict must be published degrading the Viceroy of the province, or the British admiral com- manding will act. Bickle's Anti -Consumptive Syrup stands at the head of the list for all diseases of the throat and lungs. It acts like magic in breaking up a cold. A. cough is soon subdued, tightness of the chest is relieved, even the worst case of 'consumption is relieved, while in recent cases it may be said never to fail. It is a medicine prepared from the active principles or virtues of several medicinal herbs, and can be depended upon for all pulmonary complaints.

"Oh, yes, I have. I've got you." "But you can't sweeten your coffee with me," she said, with a love -light in her eye. "Maybe not; but I can sweeten my life with you."

A boy in a West Chester school sent in the following essay on "Pants" last Fri- day: ants are made for men and not men for pants. When a man pants for a wo- man and a woman pants for a man they are a pair of pante, Such pants don't last long. Pants are like molasses ;they are thinner .in hot weather and thicker in eoid. The man in the moon changes his pants during the eclipse. Don t go, to the pantry for pan'i, you may be mis- taken, men are often mistaken in pants; such mistakes make breeches of promise, There has been muoh discussion as to whether, pants is singular or plural. Seems to as when men wear pants they are plural, and when they don't wear any pants it is singular. Mon go on a tear in their pants and it is all right, but when the pants got on' a little tear it is all wrong," Those two desirable qualifications, pleasant to the " taste andat the same time effectual, aro to be found in Mother Craves' Worm.

The flower has fivepetals and five sepals. in most pansies, 'especially. of the earlier and less highly developed varieties, two of the petals are plain in, color, and three are gay. The two plain petals have a single sepal, two of the gay petals have a sepal each, and the third, which is the largest of all, has two sepals.: The fable is that the pansy represent& a family, consisting of husband and wife. and iour daughters, two of the latter being step-ohildren of the wife. The plain petals are .the step -children,. with only one chair; the two small, gay petals are the daughters,with a chair each, and the large gay ptal is the wife,! with two chairs. To find the father one must strip , away the petals until the stamens and' pistils are bare. They have a fanciful resemblance to an old man with a flannel wrap about his neck, his shoulders up-' raised:and his feet in a bath -tub. The 1 story is probably of French origin, be -1 cause the French call the pansy the step- mother. ALIDA CEYLON TEA. Ie Delicious. Sold Only In Load Packets.
