The Present Century Is Canada's Century, [Ottawa Commonwealth] Last century was the United States' century. The present. is Canada's century. From the rate at which our population advanced during the last century, it is net uncertain prophecy, but sound statistical deduction, that the year 2,000 will close on Canada With a population of eighty trillions. The Uilitecl States are filling up, and Canada has the only great area of land fit for settlement left on this continent. Sixty Degrees Below Mr. E. P. Clement, of Berlin is in receipt of a letter from Dawson City, the perusal of which is calcul- ated to send cold chills down one's spine. At time of writing it was 60 degrees below zero. "That kind of weather" remarks the writer, is not conducive of good morals, since it leads to many tales, the truth of which cannot be vouched for."

Mercury is used chiefly in that country to make bullets, after being congealed with the frost. Small Souled Yanks. A question involving some nice points of law and a considerable , interest to labor organizations has been raised in connection with the work of replacing with heavier I material certain portions of the (international bridge across the Niagra River. Buffalo local union some time ago made complaint that the federal laws were being violat- ed by the employment of Canadian labor on the American portion of the bridge, and appealed to U. S. Inspector Debarry-, That official has investigated the case and has concluded that there has been violation of the law. The contract for the work was given to the Detroit bridge Company last stun - mer, and work was commenced on the Canadian side ; a. large force of iron workers, half of them Cana- dians and half Americans, accord- + ing to Inspector Debarry, were enl- ployed, the prevailing rate of wages being ti2 per day. So long as the work was confined to the Canadian side of the bridge there was no trouble, but when the boun- dary line was crossed the American workmen raised the point that the employment of Canadian workmen in the United States was a violation of the law, and appealed to Inspec- tor Debarry to enforce the provi- sions of the law. It bas taken a big amount of legis- lation to have it declared that once Aman gets on a railway car or other vehicle, he is "riding," whether the vehicle is moving or standing still: As distressing and annoying as are Chilblains they can be immedi- ately relieved by the application e of Dr. Chase's Ointment.

STINGING CHILBLAINS According to the reports from th trade centres, the prospects for good prices for wool, during the coming season do not seem to be bright. In the United States, pro- duction has greatly increased and large accumulations of stock have taken place. In addition to this, Woolen mills report a reduction in orders. It is reported from Argon - tine, too, that so much of last year's wool clip still remains unsold in warehouses that room is not avail- able for the new coming forward. Over 25,000,000 pounds of wool are said to be held over in Buenos Ayres alone. Trade journals re- port the wool market in Boston very quiet. .PENCIL -PUSHERS IN IT Canadian War Correspondents Who Served in South Africa May Get a Share of the land Grant, Ron.

Two Ways of Telling It, Once upon a time a icing in his sleep dreamed that all of his teeth fell out before hien, one by one. lie summoned a soothsayer and ask. ed him to interpret the dream. The soothsayer said, "0 king, the meaning of thy dream is that thy fam- ily and relatives shall die in thy pres- ence, one by one, till all are gone." The king was very angry at that and sent the soothsayer at once to prison. Then he sent for another soothsayer and again asked for an Interpretation of the dream. The soothsayer made answer, "0 king, the interpretation of thy dream Is that thy family and relatives shall die, one by one, and thou thyself shalt outlive them all." With this answer the•.king showed. approval and corntnauded that a pres- ent be given to the interpreter, and that he should he sant: home with honor. When to Select fiamontia.

The merry time, the happy time, The blissful day in view Is every day for him whose hand Is turned each day to fair deeds and Who play's in reason too. SHE WAS PLAIN WITH HIM. Aunt Sally Gave the Minister Some. thing to Think Ab'out.. Two women in the early part of the last century lived in Virginia. They were noted for their common sense, and many of their sprightly sayings are quoted and enjoyed to this day. They were both Methodists, and their house was a place of resort for the clergy of that denomination. Of one of the women, known as Aunt Sally, the following story is told: She had a black silk dress which she was accustomed to slip on when she attended church. It seems that once, while conference was being held near her house, a Methodist minister who had enjoyed her hospitality and was saying goodby ventured to remon- strate against her use of costly ap• parer. "Well, Aunt Sally," said he, "you have been very kind to me and my wife during our stay at your house, and we appreciate your'kindness. We shall never forget it. But, my dear sister, before parting with you I must say that it has troubled my wife and myself very much to see you a dev- otee to the fashion of the world. 1I notice with pain that you wear your silk dress every day to church, con- trary to the rules of our order, and I hope that hereafter you will refrain from such a display of worldly mind- edness. I also hope you will pardon me for catling your attention to it." "My dear brother," said Aunt Sally, "I did not know that my plain black sill. was troubling anybody. It hangs up there behind the door, and as it needs no n-ashing it is always ready to slip on when company comes or when I go to church, and I find it very handy. "But, my dear brother, since you have been plain with me I must be plain with you. Since you and your wife have been staying here I and my cook have some days had to stay at home and be absent from church be- cause we were doing up the white dresses of your wife that she might look well at the conference. Pardon me for explaining, and when you and Your wife come this way call again." The cough that hurts, the cough that gets tight in the chest is daily-, getting deeper and deeper into the bronchial tubes and is malting directly for the lungs, to become pneumonia, inflamma- tion of the lungs or consumption. Such coughs are sometimes referred to as "graveyard troughs," because they usually bring theft victim to that last resting place. Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine has long been known as mother's favorite remedy for croup, bronchitis, coughs and colds. It gains in popularity every day and now has by far the largest sale of any similar preparation. It loosens the tightness in the chest, allays the inflammation, cures the cold and prevents pneumonia, consumption and other lung troubles. 25 cents, an dealers', or Bdmanson, Bates & Co., To- ronto.
