merits of the atmosphere. March winds
are HO more injurious than those 61 any
ether month. They disseminate the
dust, and watt It the germs ut disease,
lust as all weeds do. The source of
danger lies in the suee•eptiblity to in-
fection that n person is rpt to acquire
tit this season.
Persons In buil vigor have little to
fear, so long as they obey the rules :,f
personal hygiene; but those whose t l-
iallly has been lowered by disease are
more vulnerable. To them it is a time
et danger in nearly all regions of the
earth. for convalescence may be check-
ed or en intercurrent disease may be
induced from which recovery is un-
certain,
The body Is espccinlly liable to tier
conte overheated at this time of year, be-
cause it has acculomcd itself to the pro-
duction of more heat than is longer re-
quired, and because the clouting is gen-
(laity too waren. The winter diet also
favors un increased production of heat.
Then, too, there are many temptations
to commit sanitary stns. The air is
warm, the clothing is oppressive, the
breeze is refreshing, and the miler gar-
ments are thrown open while the body
ft overheated. Thus, at least, catching
cold is generally explained.
But it is not alwnys the sudden change
of temperature by n draft that strikes
the surface which accounts for the in-
fection. The draft acts, if nt all, le -
flexibly by inducing localized conges-
tion, usually affecting one of the mucous
membranes. The congested eren be-
comes a possible point of entrance to
bacteria.
On the other hand, there Is good evi-
dence that the disease is contracted ,n
many cases during the time thnt the
body Is over:lealed, and not as a result
n' the more noticeable exposure to a
draft. in most cases, too, (he develop-
ment of an apparently acute cold is but
the aggravation of n latent catarrh. A
person who Is subject to colds is gen-
erally in need of the services of a speci-
alist.
C001 bathing and the proper changing
of apparel to meet the exigencies of the
weather are the best safeguards. The
transition from one season to another
to gradual, and the modification of the
clothing should be correspondingly
graded.

ANSWERED RIMSELI'.
Ilow a Young Man Enlivened a Social
Gathering.
There was a social gathering at the
residence of Mr. Wigglesworth one ev-
ening last week, and among those who
were present was a young mean with a
forehead of marvellously developed
bumps, a delicate tenor voice, and a
brilliant necktie. As the gathering was
purely of a social chnracter, the corn-
g:nny sat about the room on chairs, star-
ed vacantly at the pictures, and thought
things about each other's clothes. Fin-
ally, during a continued lull in the con-
versation. the young man cleared his
throat, pulled his cuffs down, and said,
for general editicntion:—
"\Vhy does n dog nhvays sneeze three
times?" It was nn heroic act. and the
young man actually toiled pale as lie
realized his temerity, but the company
eagerly grasped the rope thus throw n to
their assistance.
"Whet kind of n dog?" Inquired a pret-
ty girl in blue silk.
"Oh, any kind," explained the young
men.
"Is it bemuse he can't help it?" ob-
eerved n smart young clerk, with a tell
collar and it weak smile, who was a tit-
tle jealous of the sudden notoriety of the
young man.
Rut the owner of tate conundrum)
frowned severely. Then n fat woman,
with grey hair and a jet-black chignon,
remarked:—
"My husband had n deg once. Ile
iteral to wear a nightcap—Thal is, my
husband did—nrel one night when be
was laid up with n sore paw—that Is,
the dog—he forgot to put it on—my bus -
hand forgot to put his nightcap on—and
he chewed it all up --the dog did— and
my husband jumped out of bed and
found it so twisted around his feet --
found the nightcap twisted—that 1 had
It hold his hind legs while he cut it off
with his knife."
"Wild whose hind legs—the slog's?"
enxtousiy inquired a clerical looking
num near the fire.
"Of course, sir," frigidly replied the
fol woman.
"But whnt has thnl to do with the ques-
tion?" mildly inquired n meek little wo-
men In corkscrew curls.
"Nothing." responded the fat women:
entity he wns such n funny little brute
---the dog. i mean."
Just at this moment a ',ening man by
the door, who bed been thinking sn herd
that he hod started a seem on the bark
et his coat, burst out with:—
"Bemuse It is the sneeziest thing to
do'"
M Ihle nlrnclonv net the fat wnman
rlmuel fainted; rind the frowns of the
whole eomnany so ahbshed the unfortu-
nate young tnan that lie shrank out of
ei,'ht behind the door.
"And wive" tinnily said \ir. \Vilzglee-
north, as the silence became painirl.
"why dues a dog always sneeze three
times?"
The company held their hrealG for the
THE BLESSINGS OF COLD.
In the Medical Era, Dr. Robert Peter
maintains that cold is a blessing when
you learn 1n endure it. Ile points out
that its endurance can be acquired gro-
(lunlly if began early in the season. ile
does not believe in coddling the body
with woollens. "Better keep the blood
in circulation by outdoor exercise,"
says he, "so shut if heavier clothing
should really be needed the body will
not require' its encumbrance too
much."
Graduated baths, with friction, Tie tells
us, will harden the body very much,
especially when followed by vigorous
exercises in graded temperatures. "1
lenovv n man," says he, "who is always
astir, and who wears not even a shirt,
but only blue jeans and blouse, all the
year round. Ile inne his windows open
all the year round, day and night, rho
Ere, and thoroughly enjoys it. While
this is an extreme case, it shows how
one can inure himself to cold."
Dr. Peter expresses the conviction
Hutt the subjects of ventilation and heat-
ing. which are hnportnnt factors in the
winter months, are not so well under-
stood as they Height he, Hutt he attributes
much of the illness during the inclement
part of the year to the foul air and fuel
gases, to which the baneful effecls of
hidoor lite are mainly due. According
ti him, conditions should be reversed,
rind it would he wiser to camp out and
t.nsl: in the winter sun and to :tiny home
In the summer shade.
"As to ventilation," he says, "it can
never be overcome, and especially is this
hue at night. Our bedrooms should Lc
well vinlilatel. One-third of ober lives
are spent in them. A bedroom with
souther) exposure Is probably best in
winter. mid it is a cheer and godsend.
1t is (tenth to germ life. It will cut short
a cold or catarrh, and the while plague
cannot lurk (here. As we need the stied°
ht summer, we need the sun in winter."
After n consideration of the diet,
which should be more stimulating t t
this season of the year, the author em-
r.hnsizes the fact that the respiratory or-
gans mostly stand the brunt of the win•
ler diseases. The doctor believes that
we must leek to the circulation to iheip
es nut in our prophylaxis. "After o
cold is once contracted. however," he
says, "open the fiend gates of clitninn-
tion and equalize the circulation. A
Food physic or n Turkish bath may re-
store conditions."
EXCITING HONEYMOONS
COLPL} ' D.tRIKG TRIP THROUGH
l'JEXI'IttL ASIA.
Spent Their Honeymoon in Port Arthur
—With Napoleon's Grand
Army.
Count de Lesdain, of the French Lega-
tion at {'eking, has with his bride jw-t
completed a daring honeymoon trip
through Central Asia. From ('eking the
couple travelled north to the great Gobi
Desert--dL'.rovering on their way two
buried cities—where they carne upon u
new lake. They then made for the
sources of the Yangtze-kiaug River, en-
during tnuny hardships and nearly
perishing in rut upland mud plateau,
19,t500 feet above the sea's level. At one
period they were lifty days without en-
countering another human being. They
ultimately reached Darjeeling by way ,1
Tibet.
It was on his welding -day that Lieu-
tenant Nevelskoy received otters to pro-
ceed to Port Arthur, where he was ap-
pointed adjutant to General Slocssel, and
served under him throughout the siege.
Ills wife, who obtained permission to
nccornpany biro, spent her honeymoon
In doing invaluable work in the hospital:
of the beleaguered fortress, where, with
Mine. Stoessel, she labored night and
day in nursing the wounded and
FEVEiI-STRICKEN SOLDIERS.
Another honeymoon undertaken In
somewhat similar, though even more
perilous, circumstances was that of the
young bride of Count Alesio, an llelinn
noble who had attached himself to the
fortunes of the Great Napoleon. This
girl, for she was but eighteen, immedi-
ately after her marriage joined the
Grand Army with her husband. and ac-
companied Hint Throughout the disas-
trous Russian Campaign, where she
shared with hien all the privations ant
horrors of the retreat.
It is now about two years since Mr.
and Mrs. Bradley, of Nova Scotia, ar-
rived ret Plymouth, Englund, having
spent an enjoyable, if very exciting•
honeymoon on board a small decked
salting -bout, in which they crossed the
Atlantic. Rough weather was exper-
ienced during the trip, but their little
craft behaved admirably, and the couple
were delighted with the success of their
novel wedding -tour.
On more than one occasion has n
balloon been selected as the locale for a
honeymoon. A well-known English gen-
eral passed the first hours of his married
life travelling through space with his
newly -wedded wife, while M. Camille
Flamnlarion,. the celebrated French as-
tronomer, fettered the car of a balloon
with his wife immatintely atter the mar-
riage ceremony, and was borne aloft on

Mr. David Dexter, }'resident and Managing Director, in moving the adnp-
lion nt the report, said: I beg leave to submit for your consideration and
adoption the report of the Company far the year ending 31st December, 19°5.
In doing so I ant pleased to say that it is the most satisfactory your Directors
Lave had the privilege of placing before you. As compared with tete preceding
leer it shows it gain of seven per cent. in premium income, thirteen per cent.
in interest earned. twelve per cent, in tote% income, ten per cent ($319,0398) 'n
amount of new assurances placed, 7 per cent In amount of assurnnres in forms...
12 per cent. In assets, 14 per cent. in reserves hell to provide for the gay -
men( of Policy contracts now in force{ and 43 per cent. In the surplus over all
liabilities.
The profits pald to policyholders ntrc show an increase of 16 per cent. tine
the pnyments made to policy -holders 1S per cent. in excess of the previous y ar.
The reserves now held to meet Assurance obligations as they mature are
in ex." s of Ihe present requirements -1 the insurance Act, additions being
mode i•om ,year to year to meet the big ger standard of reserves on assume'. :3
written prior to the year 1900, which the Act requires that we shall hold at
the expiration of a term of years. MI policies of nssuranee written Rine the
year steel and many previous thereto are secured by reserves on 3'e per cent.
and 3 per cent. basis.
The profits to the policy -holders fate been rnnirtlaine.l in so far as It tuns
possible to do so in the face of the intends thereon from various sources,
which may be sunbarizel as follows: The increased cast of new business ow-
ing to the methods ndopted by competitors. partieulnrly some of the American
companies; the tees anti taxes charged and levied by Provincial Gnvennments;
the greater privileges and advantages granted to the policy -holder under lire
rno,le►'n policy contract.
1 would here remark in explanation of the lest item that these additional
privileges and benefits aro increased privileges of travel, residence. omen -
lion and continuance of policy, the same becoming non•fot•icitnele utter (lire

fended to inerense the cost of assurance, and others to impair the source's
