Hot water is a medicine within' reach of us all, :and has the advan•• nage •of courting 'nothing. A. simple gurgle of hot water and a small quantity:. of table salt will do good. incases of catarrhal troubles, and, if taken at the, beginning of an ordi- nary cold, will help to break it up. The ,same gargle is a remedy for sore throat accompanied by inflam- mation of the membrane at the 'back. Pain in the chest caused by cold may be greatly alleviated, and 'very often entirely removed, by ap- fllying to the seat of the pain. a annel tightly wrung out in hot water and sprinkled, with a few drops of turpentine. For cramp in the stomach apply a flannel wrung out of hot water over- the pained parts to bring re- lief. When the stomach its out of order hot water will help to; set it right again. Let the sufferer fast for a day that the stomach may recruit itself .by rest, and take at Intervals a cupful of hot water. Half a cupful of water as hot as van be sipped comfortably taken half an hour before every meal is a great assistance in most cases of indigestion, or if sipped along with the food it will assist the, stomach to do the work demanded of it. A pint of warm water taken first thing in the morning is a• •simple but effec— • tive remedy for constipation. If the stomach is out of order, as well as the bowels, the: juice of half. a, lemon dropped amongst the water will act asps mild tonic. It has been said by an authority that a steady habit of hot water drinking once formed and sustained for a few months works wonders with certain constitutions. A BIT OF SNAKE SURGERY.

Montreal MAKING SAFE INVESTMENTS HOW THE HIGH RATE ON WESTERN MORTGAGES AFFECTED BANK SHARES., .e , Waiter tee', years ago by' W the Hon. alter Roth child. The python fractured his jaw while making a .hearty `real, and •,since it was impossible for the rep- tile to live long in such a condition, an • immediate operation was de- cided upon. To set the broken bores in the jaws of the python; which measured nine yards, was a ticklish job, for the creature was capable of crushing to death any man c:ming within reach of its coils. To avoid this danger, advantage was taken of a moment • when the python was asleep. Its tank was coverzd over with stout boards, and a gap was left no larger than would permit the passage of the head. Wh n the python's head did appear through this •aperture several men gr e .ped it, aid when the frantic v rithingi of the maddened reptile haet eased, the, operator placed the broken bones in position, and bound the jaws securely with a long ban- dage 'smeared with plaster of Paris, Over this another coating of plas- ter was placed, • with due care to leave the nostrils free,, Seven we,•ks had to be allowed to elapse bef-are any attempt was made to re- move the wrappings to see whether the ,..peratirrl had been successful. Although the python was, of course, not able to take food during that tame, there was no occasion to fear starvation, for only ten days earlier a young goat furnished a meal for the patient,and he was hardly more than decently hungry when he was again able to exercise his powerful jaws.

Not long ago, a business man was re- marking on the altered position which bank stooks occupy now in the Canadian markets as compared with a few years ago. "Why," he said, "in 1897 or 1898 l made my expenses to Europe by buying a few shares of one bank—which one I have now forgotten—but if I had bought the same stook only five years ago and held it until today I ehould probably have lost heavily." • oubtedly he would have lost, es a enta a of Canadianbauk stooks time them ether ti�� e • #�- t1presenttin ri re wi vet' &mei atlaY re' alis s wAica have eu very. important bearratg r bank st• e1 o> as, investments. Ten years ago the; loan and trust coM- ponies commenced investing in Western farm mortgages. Up to that time they were satisfied with a modest interest of -from 4 per cent. to 6 per cent., but the demands of the West put the price up to 8 per cent., and even to 10 per cent., and. the loan companies, finding this a very satisfactory method of making money, naturally used all their surplus funds in investing out there, until now probably a very large proportion of their funds are so loaned. The insurance com- panies then followed suit, and now, in- stead of having large amounts of surplus funds available for loaning in the mar- ket—as they and the loan companies for - merit did to a very considerable extent— they out down the proportion of the money so used. They opened loaning offices in the West, employed skilled valuators and, as would be very costly in the case of an individual, took advantage of the high rates, without taking any chance to speak oNowwhat effect had this on bank stooks? As might be inferred from the first para- graph of this article, in the '90's bank stocks were a popular medium of specu- lation. Men bought them on margin; that is to say, paid for them by borrowing money on the stook as security up to about 85 per cent. of its market value, and themselves putting up the 15 per cent. balance,- which is known as "margin. One of the very stringent laws concern - fart banking in Canada prevents one bank from loaning on the security of shares in any other bank, or of its own, and so it n bank stooks fell in price and this 'Wes, the uneasiness caused to nervous investor,; pons used, the less has been the by the failure of the Ontario.

There exists a perfectly ap- palling nomenclature of these queer flaws in a man's pluck. There are claustrophobia (fear of eonfined place* monophobia (fear of being alone), agoraphobia, (fear of open spaces), anthropophobia (fear of so- ciety), batophobia (continual fear that walls and ceilings are going to fall upon one), pedionomophobia (fear of dwelling in plains), ,and siderodromophobia (fear of railway traveling). But courage is a thing even more, considerationscomplex than these considerations suggest. "I had a quaint illustra- tion in a moderate way last au- tumn, when I was initiating afriend into climbing," said an enthusiastic rock climber in discussing the mat- ter. "We were going up the Glyder Fawr from Llyn Idwal, in North Wales. I had chosen a perfectly easy scramble because I did not wish to bother my friend. We were going up a wide, open slope over some lopsish stones, and were as safe as we should have been on Pia- cadilly pavement. "But I was astonished to find that my friend was thoroughly fright- ened. It was the wide space on every side and the smooth, straight slope away from his feet into the lake that temporarily put him off his mental balance. "I was rather stupidly annoyed; with great diiculty I got him to come on; and ultimately we 'got to the amphitheatre of precipices which is the last lap of the ascent. I chose a rzarro v gully, which came of i bar7dy, and iabon:t.liall gay upwish- r joints wt r e t woSlea aind ;tri I had not. "I twas easy y elieubin and quite $i safe, so long as nothing happened, but there was potential danger. We had to swing up over some stones jammed between two vertical walls, and the stones were slippery and wet, and sometimes one had to put oneas entire weight on a stone with- out being perfectly 'sure that it would stand it. "I was thoroughly uneasy, and, in the uncomfortable part, quite convinced that I never should get my friend behind to do it. But he took it like a, bird without hesita- tion; it did not seem to occur to him that '"there was anything to be legs : and arms twisted, until .I expected that they would` never re- turn to their normal shape. The `doctor seemed to help me, but not 'to cure me, and I would be better one day and worse the next.

Soon af- ter beginning the pills there was a change for the better, and T con- tinued using the pills until I was quite well again. The swelling dig• appeared from the joints.

BEETLE ROUTS LION TAMER. but the Woman Is Coward Toward Crawling Insect. From Bukarest comes news of a queer freak of emotion. 11Miss Tac- oresco, a lion tamer, suddenly fainted amid her animals. With difficulty she was removed before the lions had grown so restless as to become unmanageable. Eve ybeolyeeender•ed what it was that had suddenly terrified her. When she recovered •she explained that the !sight of a black beetle in the cage had caused her to faint with fright, and she refused to go among the lions until the black beetle had' been removed.
