The WOWS Commercial Summary.
Minneapolis is showing enormous ship-
ments of flour.
The world's visible supply of wheat
decreased about 3,000,000 bushels last
week.
The trade returns for nine months of
the present fiscal year were $184,734,000,
Nearly ten millions bettor than last year.
Statistically, the wheat situation is
very strong. There is a decrease of about
850,000 bushels in the visible supply in
United States and Canada, and a decrease
iaf 1,440,000 bushels in the amount afloat
to Europe.. Taken together the total is
53,500,000 bushels, or about. 32,000,000
bushels less than a year ago.
Of the 8S3,800 square miles which form
the area of the Pacific Province, about

Mineral rescurvee There are forty vari-
eties of timber in the forests of British
Columbia. The Douglas fir has obtained
the widest fame of the British Columbia
'Woods. Dr. i ausen, whose vessel in the
recent famous Aretio expedition, the
"Pram." was constructed of Douglas fir,
gives to this wood the highest encomi-
ums for strength and elasticity. The red
cedar is another famous wood of the
Peelle coast and is used chiefly as an in-
terior material, The yellow cedar is also
staple product. Cypress is grown on
Vancouver Sslend and the North Coast.
White spruce finds a use in wood pulp
manufactures, as well as in making
packing vases, of which the salmon tan-
ners use, each year, an enormous supply.
Among the many excellent cabinet woods
in the province are white pine, maple,
alder and the arbutus. It is unfortunate.
that so much of the wood is sent from
British Columbia—and this applies ai-
snose equally to other parts of Canada—
in a comp.•tratively unmanuiaetured con-
•iition. Timber suited to the construction
of buildings, public works and other
similar uses,must of necessity, be exported.
in a rough Condition. Bus there are
erany wood products which, could be
shade advantageously in Canada if manu-
facturers could obtain the necessary in-
formation of the market's requirements.
The remarkable light which has been
brought forward in Germany and known
as the Durr light is declared to be equally
capable of use for interior illumination.
It is originated by automatic evapora-
tion and overheating of the vapors from
ordinary lamp petroleum. The vapors,
being converted into gas, when burned
field a light of from 3,55500 to 14,000 can-
dle power. The apparatus consists of a
tank containing the supply of petroleum,
which is removed sufficiently from the
burner to avoid all danger of fire from
the flame. The oil is conducted by drops
into a burner of special construction,
after the latter has been heated for about
live minutes by means of oil which is
burned in small heating pans furnished
'with the apparatus. Behind the burner
from which the flame issues there is a
second burner, which, after the heating
of the pans has been removed, continu-
ally produces the vapors and heats them
to a high temperature, at the same time
completely surrounding the first burner
with a strong flame. This arrangement
is said to make the extinction of the
Sight an impossibility, even in the strong-
est wind. Fresh air is drawn in between
the burner and the external cylinder by
the force of the flame rushing out, and
by using this air in the burner a smoke-
less flame results on account of the air
supply being heated. The oil used is
ordinary 100 proof coal oil, the consump-
tion of which is about 1% pints per 1,000
candle power.
Human Oddities.

De Piles mentions a blind sculptor
who, guided by the sense of touch alone,

A SOCIAL LION.
He Promised to Appear Brilliant and
Did Ws Level Best.
Every one knows that I am modest. Per-
haps the great, wide world is not aware,
however, of the fact that I am bashful as
well. I do not lilt,. to put myself forward
publicly before ditty large or small au-
dienoes. Tliis peculiarity, together with
an aversion to killing ducks, will eventual-
ly prevent 'my becoming president of the
United States. However, let that pass.
The little lady and myself were invited to
an evening's amusement at the Slakes'.
The Blakes are nice people who make you
dress up and go out somewhere on cold,
chilly evenings when you would much pre-
fer to be burning the soles off your socks
before your own grate ere. On account of
my extreme bashfulness I am usually an
incubus on such occasions. But this does
not satisfy the little. lady.She saysit
makes people wonder how she ever came to
marry such a perfect fool as I am. At any
rate, she made me promise to make a stab
at trying to pretend I was brilliant, and
that evening she made me promise to do
everything I was asked to do and take part
in all the festivities. She was sorry after-
ward. But I did the best I could, as you
shall see.
Well, there was a fair, pale y.oung girl
from the city at the Blakes' that evening.
She had received her education abroad and
thumped the piano'with 'both hands. She
also spoke French without consulting the
dictionary ever and anon and was an all
round wonder. I was sitting on a fauteuil,
trying to look as graceful as possible under
the circumstances, when the fair, pale
young girl swung herself around the orbit
of the piano stool and asked me if I
wouldn't sing. Now, I can't sing. I don't
know one tune from another, with the ex-
ception of "Old Hundredth," and I only
know that because it is so short. Natural-
ly I was just going to decline when I
thought of my promise to the little lady. I
wouldn't break a promise to her for any-
thing in this world.
"With pleasure," I answered the fair,
pale young girl, and stepped briskly to her
side. They told me afterward thatthe lit-
tle lady fainted when I did this. A'woman
always knows when to faint.
"Do you read at sight?" asked the fair,
pale young girl.
"Entirely by sight," I answered, won-
dering if there were people who read with
their ears.
"I am so glad," she lisped. "I have here
an aria that I brought with me from
abroad. It is for a baritone voice, and I
am sure it will please you. Let's begin at
once."
With that she began playing. Now I
wasn't fool enough to begin singing right
off. I knew that there is always a little
salute, as ono might say, on the piano be-
fore the singer begins. I also knew that
you sing up„ or down according as the
notes run up or down on the telegraph
wires with which they print music. I
knew, moreover, that the singer begins
when the pianist commences to play
"thump — thump, thump — thump —
thump, thump, ' eta. So when she played.
in that sort of a way I began, and I sang
right through to the end. I would have
boon singing yet if she hadn't stopped
for I so tangled playing, got ng ed up in that
Sahara of notes, telegraph poles and wires
that I had no idea where I was at. I did
not get much applause. And the fair, pale
young girl went out of the room and had
hysterics right alongside of my fainting
wife. Tho rest of the women went to take
care of her, and the hien looked glum. I
will say that Blake 'did his duty as a Host,
though. He said I had a tremendously
strong voice. And I think be must be
right, for they heard it up at the postoffice,
thought it was an alarm of fire and turned
out with Old Red No. 1 and a gallon of
whisky to pet the fire out. When I heard
this, I went out and joined the brave fire-
men.—Tom Hall in Truth.

Bright's Disease of the Kidneys

Came to the Rescue and Delivery of Mau.
kind Stopping Forever the Deadly As-
saults of Life's Most'Insidious Foe.
Men are dropping from the ranks
everywhere. Cut down in the flower of
youth, or the fruitage of manhood by that
ruthless destroyer—Bright's, Disease of
the Kidneys.
Only a few days ago Sir Hercules
Robinson, the doughty Governor of Cape
Colony, was forced to resign that post be-
cause of encroaching Bright's Disease.
Hardly had his successor been appoint-
ed when the wires brought tidings of the
death of William P. St. John, a Ne*
York banker, and remembered by every-
one as the treasurer of the National
Democratic party during the last na-
tional campaign. Bright's Disease carried
him off.
It has killed many better men than
most of us. So has Diabetes, its twin
curse. Yet there is one cure (and only
one), that never fails in cases of Diabetes
and Bright's Disease. Let these testi-
monials bear witness: --
Mr. Fred Carstens, Palmerston, Ont.,
says: "After many years suffering with
Bright's Disease, I am a new man, cured
by using three boxes of Dodd's Sidney
Pills."
Mr. F. X. Groulx, Ottawa, Ont, says:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have been a god-
send to me as they have cured me of
Bright's Disease of the Kidneys."
S. G. Moore, King St., London, Ont.,
says: "After, taking a few boxes of
Dodd's Kidney Pills I am as well as ever
in my life, despairing of recovery from
Bright's Disease."
Mr. Chas. T. Bye, Garryowen, P.O.,
Ont., says: "For the past three years
have suffered of Diabetes, but noticing
cures published I have used Dodd's Kid-
ney Pills which have perfectly cured me."
DODD'S'KIDNEY PILLS are for sale
by druggists everywhere, and by the
Dodd's Medicine Co., Toronto, Ont.
Price 50 cents a box.

Relief hollows the First Appllcation,of
Dr. Agnew's Catarrhal Powder --.Don't
Neglect the Simplest Cold In the Head,

MalydyAlrnost Before You Can Realize It.
Rev. Dr. Bochror, of Buffalo, says:
"My wife and I were both troubled with
distressing catarrh, but we have enjoyed
freedom from this aggravating malady
since the day we first used Dr. Agnew's
Catarrhal Powder. Its action was instan-
taneous, giving the most grateful relief
within ten minutes after first application.
We consider it a gdilsend to humanity,
and believe that no case can be so chronic
or deeply seated that it will not immedi-
ately relieve and permanently cure."
A Diplomatic Proposal.
"What!" exclaimed the good house-
wife angrily, "now that you have eaten
your fill you refuse to chop wood?"
"I'll tell you what we'll do," said
Weary Willie, a born diplomat; "lets

"It affords me great pleasure to com-
mend Dr. Agnew's Cure for the Heart. I
was sorely aificted with heart trouble,
accompanied with diz'einess, palpitation
and smothering sensations. For over four
years I was treated by best physicians,
and used all remedies known to man. I
determined to try Dr. Agnew's Cure for
the Heart. The first close gave me great
relief inside of thirty minutes. I used
two bottles, and feel to -day I have been
completely cured."
