TRURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1896. The Week's Commercial Sturnnary. The earnings of Canadian Pacific for the week ended May 14th wore 8404,000 an increase of *82,000. The stocks of wheat at Port Arthur and Fort William are now 2,228,362 bushels as against 370,749 bushels a year ago. The.offerings of cattle are heavy at To ronto and prices demoralized. Exporters sell at 334c. to 4, and the best butchers stock at 3c. to S?:ic. per pound. During the month of April the deposit; in the Government savings banks amounted to 8236,905, snaking $17,265,- 259 on deposit at the end of the month. The gross earnings of Toronto Railway for April were 830,035, a decrease of $70 as compared with April last year. The operating expenses of the road show an increase of $22,012. The trade situation in Montreal is little changed, since a week ago. A markedly cautious spirit is shown by buyers in most lines, and the passing volume of busi- ness cannot be called more than moder- ate. .A good railway engine will travel about 1,000,000 miles before it wears nut. However, the life of au engine depends as to its length upon the treatment it receives. With ordinary service it ought to last twelve years. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada decreased 854,- 000 bushels last week, which is much smaller than had been anticipated. The total is now 53,140, 000 bushels as against 56, 483, 000 bushels n year ago. The amount on passage to Europe increased 800,000, and the total is 30.000,000 bushels as against 43,920,000 bushels a year ago. The New York Board of Health has been using a small machine, worked on the centrifugal principle, as a method of determining the amount of fat in samples of milk. The machine simply whirls the milk around at a high velocity, throw- ing the lighter, or the cream to the center, and the milk clear of fat or cream to the outside. By a simple scale, the relative amount of fat to whole quantity of milk can be ascertained. Canadian vessels, whether steam or sail. are at a disadvantage, compared with American craft, in the carrying trade of the great lakes of this continu- ent, because so many of them are built of a limited size to go through the canals to Lake Ontario and Montreal; whereas the later American craft are of much greater size, not requiring to go farther east than Buffalo or Lake Erie. The largest of these are 300 to 400 feet in length, and able to carry 100,000 to 200,- 000 bushels of grain on a draft of sixteen to eighteen feet of water. .Some of the latest Canadian steamers can, however, carry cargoes of 50,000 to 70,000 bushels. A judgment just handed down by the Supreme Court of NewYork is of interest and importance to many trade associa• tions. The John D. Park & Sons Co, sued the National 'Wholesale Druggists Association, and applied for an injunc tion, which the court granted, restrain• ing the association from combining against the plaintiff company, because the latter was not a member of the organization, and would not sign an agreement to maintain prices. Much at- tention has been attracted by the deci- sion, as the principle on which the in- junction was granted, applies, it is argued, to all branches of business, in which the "limited price" system is in .operation. t A new kind of fuel has recently been made in Boston. It is a inixture of Mexi- can asphalt and peat or turf, compacted and baked together. There are said to be exhaustless deposits of bitumen, or asphalt, in Mexico, which the people there have attempted successfully to burn, but it would melt and run, and thus give trouble. Mr. George J. Altham of the New England Turbine and Fuel Company of Boston experimented with it, and found the running could be pre- vented by making a certain composition of it with peat. The compressed fuel was tried on February 7, at the headquarters of the Boston Fire Department, by run- ning a fire engine with it. It got up steam quicker and held a higher pressure while the engine was operating, than cannel coal would do, with a smaller cosumption of fuel for a given amount of work. Here and There. The saddest words are left unsaid. 4 t No man who knows he is a fool is one. The Lord helps those that help others. How blessings brighten when other people get them. Friendship exacts no sacrifice claims no rewards. and Instead of waiting for your ship to come in, send out another ship. It's a long lane that has no turning, but it may turn in the wrong direction. Perhaps it is possible to photograph love, as a German scientist asserts. Many a man who has experimented with it has obtained a negative without much trouble. According to General Wolseley, the man who thinks there will be no more great wars is a dangerous dreamer. Mili- tary men never depreciate the importance of their calling. Now that the war scares are about over, editors who delight in condemning the"waste" of public money by appro- priating it for building up the navy and coast defenses are comings out of the brush. • The Massachusetts constitution pre- vents women from being made notaries public. The . Massachusetts ~'legislature prevents wonen from becoming voters. It seems that women in the old Bay state can't be anything but just women. TOPICS OF A WEEK.

A mar- ried woman was decoyed from her home by a false messag', seized by four dis- guised men, stripped, beaten, tarred, and ridden on a rail. Two arrests have been made in connection with the affair. SKEPTICISM.—This is unhappily an age of skepticism, but there is one point upon which persons acquainted with the subject agree, namely, that Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil is a medicine which can be relied upon to cure a cough, remove pain, heal sores of various kinds, and benefit any inflamed portion of the body to which it is applied. laborer, died in as the result of falling from a "Brethren," remarked Bishop Carpen- ter, of Ripon, England, the other day in a sermon, "I" bog of you to take your. heart in your hand and look it straight in the face." We would like to see that performance when it is pulled off. UNITED STATES. Brooklyn has 11,884 more pupils in her schools than a year ago.

Y., to Queeston, Ont. By the explosion .of the gasoline stove in Chicago on Sunday four members of a family named Malin were killed, and the fifth so badly burned that death is almost certain. As the result of an investigation, it has been ascertained that one-third of the children of one of the principal gram- mar schools in Chicago had never seen a live sheep or hog. Congress agreed to the Corliss amend- ment to the United States Immigration Bill, which renders all contracts with aliens to perform labor in the United States null and void. Grace Schloenbeok, a Chicago girl of fourteen, twice attempted suicide in the lagoon in Jackson's park because her mother gave her a severe whipping and turned her out of doors.

The endowment will amount to $20,000, and the room is to be appropriated to the use of sick or injured clergymen forever. We have no hesitation in saying that Dr. J. D. Kellogg's Dysentery Cordial is without doubt the best medicine ever introduced for dysentery, diarrhoea, cholera and all summer complaints, sea sickness, eto. It promptly gives relief and never fails to effect a positive cure. Mothers should never be without a bottle when their children are teething. FOREIGN. Alexandria, Egypt, had 19 deaths from cholera yesterday. It is stated that the Mikado contem- plates a tour of Europe and America.

The Nast Stroudsburg; Pa., School Board is considering a resolution recently offered prohibiting girl. graduates from wearing elaborate and costly dresses on com- mencement day. THREE GRZAT REMEDIES. Sure Speuities for Kidney. ihoiunatic and Stomach Diseases.. These remedies are not a cure-all for all the ills that flesh is heir to. The great South American remedies each have their particular purpose. South American Kidney .Cure.. does not -euro rheumatism, nor is it a specific for in- digestion, but no remedy, pills or pow- ders, will give relief in the most distress- ing cases of kidney trouble as will Soutti American Kidney Cure. Mr. D. J. Locke, of Sherbrooke, Que., suffered for three years from kidney trouble, expending in that time $100 on doctors' medicines. He got no relief until he used South American Kidney Cure, and four bottles, he says, effected a permanent cure. When a remedy is needed for rheuma-• tism, it is very much needed and quickly. William Pegg, of Norwood, Ont., was nearly doubled up with rheu- matism and suffered intensely. This was in 1898. He took three bottles of South Amerioan .Rheumatic Cure,and now says: "I have bad neither aches nor pains from rheumatism since that time." When disease affects the digestive organs and general debility takes hold of the system, these cannot be removed unless the medicine taken gets at the root of the trouble. South American Nervine owes its success to the fact that it works directly on the nerve centers, and re- moving the trouble there it rids the sys- tem of disease. Banker John Boyer, of Kincardine, who suffered from indiges- tion for years, was permanently cured by the use of South American Nervine. He says "I have no hesitation in pro- claiming the virtues of this great remedy." The inhabitants of Moscow are said to be most extortionate in their charges for 'accommodation, and it is calculated that t will cost the London daily papers who ' '0 a representatives in that city from to three thousand pounds for their ow expenses alone, not to speak of „. envy telegraphic tolls. The high wheel in Earl s Court, Lon- don, England, crowded with men, wom- en and children, refused to revolve shortly after eight o'clock on Thursday evening, and the occupants of the high compartments, three hundred feet above the ground, were imprisoned,until 'noon Friday, when they were rescued ` fry ii their' perch among the, clouds. Careful With Cents. A gentleman standing in a hotel lobby while taking a match safe from his pocket, accidentally dropped a cent on the floor. He pioked it up carefully, and as he did so said: "I have only lately realized the value of a cent. I have a small account with a trust company, and the other day I received my book, with interest computed at $13.99. I worked at the figures quite awhile, and found that the exact amount was *13.99%. Tlien I argued with the secre- tary that it ought of be 14, but he would not consent to the increase. So I came to the conclusion that if a company with a capital of *1,000,000 can figure on half cents I ought to be careful with cents." He Preferred White. Miss Peaohblossom (to her brotherj— What do you think is the most stylish color for a bride? Brother Jim—Wall, I don't know much abnut style, sis, but for myself I should prefer a white one. A Alan's Advantage Over Woman. A man, fortunately for him, is not such a victim to fashion's decrees as a woman. Neatness and comfort are the main requisites, after that the rest is left to the clothing manufacturer or tailor. Extreme features of any kind are rarely a success,as few men care to make themselves noticeable by any pronounced effect in their costume, and very few changes are made through different seasons in the cut and style of men's suits. But any new idea for gaining extra comfort is quickly appropriated, and thus the Fibre Chamois which furn- ishes the style to women's clothes is now being used through men's outer coats to give that comforting warmth and pro- tection which will defy wind or rain equally well, and yet adds no perceptible weight. A correspondent writes: "Please tell me all about the magnetic pole and where it is located." The magnetic pole is a piano pounder named Paderewski, and he is now located In Europe, en- gaged in taking cafe of 248,000 good American dollars. Gone for Liquor. Look in at a pawnbroker's window and try to fit a history to the various articles there displayed. A strange as- sortment. From the old family signet ring of the broken gentleman, to tho well used hammer of the once skilful and industrious artisan: gone to supply the craving of the victim of the drink disease. This dread disease is no respecter of persons. Clergymen lose their gowns, doctors their practice, wealthy merchants their business, laboring men their work. It spares none. Yet all alike may be per- manently cured of the disease and freed from the curse by scientific treat- ment at Lakehurst Sanitarium. Send for full particulars concerning the drink disease and its treatment, to the Man- ager, Lakehurst Sanitarium, Oakville, Ont. Too Inquisitive. At a village in Worcestershire recently the clergyman asked the bridegroom the usual question whether he was willing to take the woman to be his wedded wife, and, the rustic, scratching his head for a moment or two, replied, "Ay, 'I'm wul- ling, but.I'd rather have her sister." Chronic Derangement of the Stomach,. Liver and Blood, are speedily removed by the active principle of the ingredients entering into the composition of Parme- lee's Vegetable Pills. These Pills act specifically on the deranged organs, stimulating to action the dormant ener- gies of the system, thereby removing dis- ease and renewing life and vitality to the afflicted. In this lies the great secret of the popularity of Parmelee's Vegetable Pills. As Parmelee's Vegetable Pills contain Mandrake and Dandelion, they cure Liver and Kidney Complaints with unerring certainty. 'They also contain Roots and Herbs which have specific virtues truly wonderful in their action on the stomach and bowels. Mr. A. A. Cairncorss, Shakespeare, writes "I con- sider Parmelee's Pills an excellent remedy for Billiousness and Derangement of the Liver, having used them myself for some time." Shah Nasred-Din has been gathered to his fathers and Shah Mezaffer Ed -Din Mirza Valhad reigns: in his stead; Nails Es Sultaneli is sulking and Zil Es Sultan may dispute the succession.
