The Loddon Miller says that the French wheat crop will be 40,000,000 to 48,000,000 bushels less than last year. The Customs depiu'tment has issued notice that in making entries the import- ers must specify the country of origin. The stocks of wheat at Toronto are 86,284 bushels, as against 96,805 bushels last week and 177,253 bushels a year ago, The amount of wheat afloat to Europe is unchanged at 14 560,000 bushels. A year ago the amount was 24,800,000 bushels. The corn market at Chicago is higher In consequence chiefly on reports of dam- age to the crop through hot 'Winds in Kansas.. Stocks of flour at the leading points in America .T ly 1 were 628,596 barrels, against (195.709 barrels June 1 and 721,- 549 barrels July 1 last year. The general rate of interest now paid by banks is 3 per cent. The Government reduction from 3 s to 3 per cent. on de- posits in ezavings banks went into opera- tion on the 1st instant. The Canada Northwest Lorin Co. have sold 17,200 acre:; of farm lands for 894,- 000 since January 1st, as against 7,800 acres for 444,000 the corresponding period of last year. Their sales of town sites have also increased. The market at Toronto continues firm for shipping cattle. Really choice ani- mals sell at 4eec per ib, but they are somewhat scarce, and dealers were obliged to wire Chicago on Tuesday for heavy cattle to fill space contracted for on outgoing steamers at Montreal, The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada decreased 1,- 211,000 bushels last week, and the total is now only 17,553,000 bushels, the smallest amount since 1891. A year ago the total was 47,199, 00 and two years ago 43,359,000 bushels. Judging from the tenor of a recent paragraph in an English insurance jour- nal, it is matter for surprise that it should be deemed necessary on this side the Atlantic to give such advice to per- sons who find their premises on fire as is tendered in the pages of the Coast Re- view of &in Francisco. The English writer asks if it is the practice in Ameri- ea for persons insured against fire to make no attempt to subdue the fire or save. the property jeopardized. It must at once he admitted that we on this side the ocean are far more used to the destruc- tion of property by burning and far more careless of the causes and indifferent to. the ravages of fire than our British cous- ins. Some suggestion i as to what should be dune in case of fire are given by the Review as below: "Give the antral im- mediately and try to put out the fire with a few buckets of water. If the fire has already obtained headway, try to save property." And it is j...,perly added, "The policy -holder who makes no effort to save some of his property, or who de- clines his neighbor's offers of help, lays himself open to the charge of incendiar- ism." Hints as to the duty of insurants in the presence of fire are added, and among the points mentioned are several that people need to bo kept in mind oft "Act. during and after the fire, as if there were no insurance. When the fire is extinguished, look after the saved prop- erty. Bear in mind that the under- writers undertake to pay you only the' damage by fire, not the damage by your neglect, What remains after the fire Is yours, not the underwriters'. Remove goods to a dry place, and separate the :damaged and undamaged portions. Pro- tect from rains and dews and dust with tarpaulins or canvas, if it is not possible to find better shelter. Disconnect or plug. tip pipes in the damaged parts of build- ing. Wipe and cover machinery. Dry floors, furniture, counters, shelving, and other fixtures. Guard against thieves and malicious persons. and get everything in good shape for the adjustment of your loss."—Monetary Times. Here and There. In Mexico miners get 50 cents a day.

The French Supreme Council of Edu- cation has adopted a proposal by which foreigners are enabled to obtain doctors' diplomas by undergoing examinations at Frenoh universities In spite of formal denials, there is good reason to believe that an engagement has been virtually agreed upon between the Duke of.

It is said that one of the chief features of Mgr.

A LA'IE BACK. ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL OF MALADIES. ]lir. Voter Millar Suffered for Years, and. Experimented With. Many Medicines 8e. fore Finding a Cure. From the Brookville Recorder, Perhaps no prettier plane is to be seen in Ontario than that at Newman'supper lock on the Rideau: Canal. At this station for a quarter of a century resided Mr. Peter Millar, who during that period anted in the capacity of lookman, and was perhaps the best known man on the canal. Mr. Millar is now a resident of Merriok'ille, having retired, from active life. To a correspondent of The Recorder he related the following experience: 4' Foe many years I was troubled with a ]arae baok,which gave me great pain at times, and caused me much loss of sleep. !tried different kinds of medicine but found little or no relief. The spring of 1895 I was assisting at getting out ice one day when I felt something snap or give way before I could straighten myself up. T now became so bad that when I laid. down I was unable to rise without assist- ance, and I fully made up my mind that I had become a chronic 'invalid, and never expected to see a well day again. A couple of weeks after my bank had al- most entirely given out, I saw by an ar• bolo in a paper that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills hail cured a person troubled similar- ly, and I immediately sent and procured a box to test them. Before I had finished the box I found my back somewhat stronger so I procured five boxes more and by the time they were used I found myself completely cured. Since I took the last box I have 'not hada pain or particle of lameness, and my health has been far better than it had been for years before. To ensure obtaining the genuine al- ways ask for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, as there are many pink colored imita- tions. midsummer vacations. Midsummer vacations have commenced in many works, with the decrease of orders usual at this season. The custom- ary vacation is called a strike where agreements regarding wages for the com- ing year have not.been reached, and the active strike of amalgamated iron work- ers, announced July 1st, is of this nature; but the strike of coal miners in Illinois and other central Western States is not, and may prove costly. In some iron and cotton works wages have been reduced, owing to low prices. The gen- eral belief is that the removal of uncer- tainty will, in any case, increase busi- ness. Since much of the future depend upon the cruets, the brightening pros- pects are of the highest importance. Es- timates by persons usually most pessi- mistic now far exceed any made a month ago, one promising 550 000,000 bushels of wheat, with lower conditions, but large- ly increased acreage of corn. Cotton pros- pects are brighter, as the orop appears to be early rather, than late in regions w.tich were not flooded. Th movement of wheat is small.—Can's Review. There never was, and never will be, a nnitiersal panacea, in one remedy, for all ilis to which flesh is heir—the very nature of many curatives being such that were the germs of other auct differently seared diseases rooted in the system of the patient—what would relieve one ill in turn would aggravate the other,. We have, however, in Quinine Wine, when obtainable in a sound unadulterated state, a remedy for many and grevious ills. By its gradual and judicious use, the frailest systems are led into convalescence and strength, by the influence which Qui- nine exerts on Nature's own restoratives. Itrelieves the drooping spirits of those with whom a chronic state of morbid des- pondency and lack of interest in life is a disease, and, by tranquilizing the nerves, disposes to souud and refreshing sleep— imparts vigor to the action of the blood. which, being stimulated, courses through- out the veins, strengthening the healthy animal functions of the system, thereby 'flaking activity a necessary result, strengthening the frame, and giving life to the digestive organs, which naturally demand increased substance—result, im- proved appetite. Northrop & Lyman of Toronto, have given to the public their superior Quinine Wine at the usual rate, and, gauged by the opinion of scientists, this wine approaches nearest perfection of auy in the market.

KEEPING THE HOUSE COOL. By a Little Care intense Sunnier Heat Gan be Greatly Modified. "How best to keep the house pool . in summer is a grave problem," mhoMrs. S. T. Rorer in the Ladies' Horne Journal, "During the 'hot months the house is moon more livable if artificial heat oan be out down to the minimum. Use the stove early in the morning, pre- pare certain foods that will keep well, and avoid the necessity of a big fire dur- ing the rest of the day. Bare floors are Very much pleasanter in summer than straw matting, althottgh the latter is preferable to carpets or rugs. Where one oan command a water supply the house is measurably cooled by reducing the temperature of the pavement and grounds around by copious sprinklings. A goodly stream of new air should be allowed to sweep through the entire house morning and evening. The hot air of midday will condense quickly in oold walls and cause mould or dampness, consequently it should not be allowed to enter any por- tion of the house. All the rooms in the house should be kept scrupulously clean and neat. "If the outside temperature is not ap- preciably lower at night than during the day it is almost impossible to keep sufficiently comfortable to obtain neces- sary rest, The sleeping -rooms may be cooled by placing in the center of each a tub two-thirds full of cool, or better, foe, Water. This will absorb the heat of the room in a few hours, and will be found particularly helpful where there are children. If the heat continues dur- ing the night the changing of the water will preserve an even temperature in the room, Air your cellars at night when it is possible. Close them at nine in the morning and they will be cool and dry the entire summer, Exceptions to this rule are on windy clays, as the rapid motion of the air does not allow conden- sation. Keep the cellar perfectly clean and fresh. Frequent coats of whitewash with plenty of lime are of the greatest value in summer." The Power 'it' Well Drives. Jesus did not create goodness—her fair form had been already carved in white marble by austere panda; His office was to place a soul within the ribs of death till the cold stone changed into a living body. Before Jesus, goodness was sterile; since Jesus, goodness has blossomed; He fertilized it with .i,; spir.t. It was a theory; it became 11 res. He: took the corn, which had been long stn •. d' in the granaries of philosophy, and sowed it in the soft spring earth; He' minted the gold and made it the current coin. Christianity is in religion what steam is to the mechanics—the power whiuh drives. Jesus wrote nothing; Re said little, but He did what He said and made others do as He commanded. His. religion began at once to exist; from the beginning it was a life. It is the distinc- tion of Christianity that it goes. This is why some of us, in spite of every Intel- leotual difficulty, must believe Jesus to be the Son of Uod—Ile has done what no other ever did, and what only Got could do. He is God because He discharges a "God function.'"-Ian\laciaren. Unpardonable. Patience—Wby do you say she dresses carelessly? Priscilla -Didn't you see how her bloomers bagged at the knee?
