ONTARIO LEADS THEM ALL.
.&report which has been prepared by
the Ontario Bureau of Statistics will
possess •much interest for Canadians
generally. It deals with agriculture
and the agricultural products of the
.Province. From it we learn that On-
tario lands are becoming more and
more cleared. There is now in this
Province 23,172,408 acres of assessed
land, 53.7 per cent. of which is cleared,
Of this there were 876,955 acres in
crops, which is an increase of 133,000
acres andmore, The yield of fall wheat
last year was 17.2 bushels to the acre.
This was below that of the previous
year, which was 19. In point of yield
Ontario is still away ahead of the lead-
ing wheat -growing states of the neigh-
boring republic, as will be seen froth
thefollowing averages : Ontario, 17.2 ;
New York, 6; Pennsylvania, 14;Ohio,9;
Michigan, 12.8; Indiana, 9;Illinois,14.7;
Missouri, 11.7; Kansas, 10.6; California
11.0. The spring wheat crop fell off,
too,and amounted to13.Sper acre. The
average yield of barley was 27.4.which
equals that in lVinconsin, the greatest
barley statein the union. The oat crop
averages 34.2 per acre, which is a. fall-
ing off. This, however, surpasses any-
thing in the United States, except
of Wisconsin.
The gold fields of Cripple Creek are
still flourishing. In November the
output of the mines was equivalent to
about $15,000,000 a year, which, if it
were maintained, means not less
t han $22,000,000, probably,in thewhole
State of Colorado. This is indeed.
record-breaking gold year everywhere,
with such large finds in British Col-
umbia, North-west Ontario, Mexico
and America, the continent will be en-
riched unprecedentedly in a single
year.

It is significant that Canadian lum-
ber is entering the United States as
freely under the $2 duty as before.
That the duty is not feared is seen
in the fact, mentioned by the Canada
Lumberman, that there are in course
of construction, or projected. in dif-
ferent parts of Canada, a large nnnx-
ber of new saw mills. This shows
that our lumbermen and capitalists
have faith in the lumber industry of
the Dominion, and that they realize
the valuable asset which we possess in
our forests. • The time is not far dis-
tant, when Canada will furnish a ranch
larger portion of the world's timber
supply than at present.
Deadly Tuberculosis.
The annual report of the Provincial
Board of Health for 1896 gives the
population of Ontario based on the
increase of births over deaths, as 2,203,-
492. The death rate for the entire
Province is 10.9 per 1,000. England's
rate is 18.7 per 1,000. Toronto's rate is
15.1; Hamilton's 14.1; Ottawa 21.1 ;
London's 11.9.
The report indicates a marked de-
cline in deaths from contagious dis-
eases or diseases under the Public
Health Act. From 1892 to 1897 the
decreases of deaths from four differ-
ent diseases were :— Small -pox 03 per
cent., scarlatina 50 per cent., diph-
theria 6per e
cent„ and typhoid 46 per
,
yP
cent.
The decreate in deaths from tybhoid
is largely due to the introduction of
waterworks system in four different
places.
In the cities the diphtheria death rate
has steadily gone down. The unproved
situation is due to the use of anti-toxine
treatment.
The report shows that tuberculosis
keeps up its deadly work. In 1896 On-
tario showed a mortality of 2,758 per-
sons from the "white plague of the
north," or 11 per cent. of all deaths. In
the cities the mortality from' tubercu-
losis is 13.3 per cent. of death from all
causes.

Mrs. Chas. Smith, b, of Jinxes, Ohio,
writes : I have used every remedy for
sick headache I could hear of for the
past fifteen years, but .Carter's Little
Liver Pills, did me more good than all
Do not suffer from. sick headache a
moment longer. It is not necessary.
Carter's Little Liver Pills will cure you.
Dose, one little pill, Small price.
Small dose. Smallp ill.
Ayer's Pills, being composed cf the
essential virtues of the best vegetable
:,7erients, without any of the woody
es fibrous material whatever, is the
reason why they are so much more
effective` and valuable than any other
cathartics. The best family physic.

Successful Dyeing Can Only Be
Done With Diamond
• Dyes.
Thousands dye- this month. The
vast majority make the work profit-
able and pleasant, while others are

The happy and successful dyers are
those who always use the Diamond
Dyes that produce the brightest, fast-

contented and nnbappy ones are the
few that rise the common and crude

muddy and blotchy colors.
If you desire to'ineke your costumes,

THE GREAT COMPOUND KEEPS
THE BODY IN PERFECT
CONDITION.
The illustrious German philosopher
Kant [says : "There is within every
mind a divine ideal, the type after
which he was created, the germs of
perfect person.
It is true that the nearer oxen and
women approach the divine ideal the
more earthly happiness will they en-
joy. In order to march steadily on-
ward to the great goal set before all,
men and women must be physically
sound. Purity of heart and grand
elevation of mind will never accomp-
lish the great victory if the body be
sick and diseased.
Those who aspire to true manhood
and womanhood are the men and wo-
men who take the precaution to ban-
ish the very first symptoms of disease.
That tired feeling you experience from
day to day ; that nervous headache
you dread so tach ; that "can't sleep"
condition that makes you weak and
wretched ; the pains in side and back
indicating kidney disease ; the sharp
twinges of rheumatism and neuralgia
that make life a misery ; that consti-
pated habit that is sending poison into
your life blood ---all these varied sym-
ptoms lead to disease and death unless
they are banished.
Paine's Celery Compound puts the
out -of -gear physical machinery in
perfect working condition, and gives
that greatest of allifts—good health.
This xuaryeilous medicine is a, food that
perfectly nouri,hes the nerves, tissues
and blood. that ; it brings strength and
vigor to the limbs, gives the rosy blush
of health to the pallid face, and brings
clearness and energy to the brain.
Paine's Celery Compound as a medi-
cine for the ordinary ills of every day
life, is as far removed from the coin -
mon pills, nervines, bitters and Sar-
saparillas as the diamond is from ord-
inary window glass. The people praise
it, all honest druggists speak in its fav-
or, and the ablest doctors prescribe it.
If yon are only half enjoying life, try
what Paine's Celery Compound will do
for you.

For years I have been taking med-
