Stanfield's Unshrinkable
Underwear
Is made from the finest Nova Scotia Wool,
which is famous for its softness, strength and
elasticity, not found in any other wool in the
world -and Stanfield's is the only Underwear
in the world made from it.
Warm Enough for
the Northwest . .
It is knitted to de-
fy 40 and 5o below
zero, without being
heavy or clumsy. It
is made for Canadian people, to protect them
against Canadian winters. Imported Underwear
is all right for England, but not for Canada.
The Very Thing
for the Farmer.
When working all day
in the cold, ordinary
underwear is not warm
enough, but Stanfield's
being in special weight and knitted in a peculiar
way, is what he wants. All sizes and weights
to suit anybody and everybody -tall or short -
stout or slim. Every garment fully guaranteed.
Your money back if it shrinks. Wear them this
winter, and you'll always wear them. Come in
and see them.

-The Ottawa correspondent of a
Toronto paper says the prospects are
that from twelve to fifteen millions
will be added to the debt of the Do-
minion this year. And in 1004 the in-
terest paid on the then debt amounted
to $1.99 for each man, woman and
child in Canada.

-At a meeting of Land Surveyors
in Toronto recently, it was estimated
that there was, in the Province of On-
tario, enough white and red pine to
make six billion feet of timber, worth
$42,000,000, and enough spruce, jack
pine and poplar to make 300 trillion
cords of pulp -wood, worth about
$120,000,000.

-The total value of the ore shipped
from Cobalt for the last calendar year
was $1,448,000, silver alone accounting
for. over $1,355,000. This was over
twelve times the output of silver in
Ontario in 1904, and will probably be
sufficient to place silver third in the
list of minerals produced last year.
For 1906 silver will likely take first
place,
-The directors of the Weather Bu-
reau of Missouri State Agricultural
College says the time may not he far
distant when the National Weather
Bureau will be able to tell six months
in advance whether an approaching
winter will be warm or cold. It is be-
lieved that great eddies sweeping
around the world cause the difference
in winter temperatures, and as soon
as there are enough stations to record
the progress of these he believes the
general character of winter can be
predicted in advance.
-The opinion, that the Senate in
Canada is a useless, as well as expen-
sive, appendage of our system of gov-
ernment, is finding expression in
many directions. It costs a large sum
of money yearly to run the thing, and
sc, far as any practical good, it might
as well be abolished. If a House of
Refuge is needed for aged favorites, or
back-seat politicians, then erect one
for the purpose. Then don't expect
any thing from its inmates, but just
let them live and die in peace. Don't
let them go through the farce of legis-
lating for the common people battling
with the activities of life, or pay them
$2,500 a year for saying, "yes" to
what the elected representatives of
the people have already done, while
the old fellows have smoked, lounged
or slept. 'We are pleased to quote the
following from the Globe :-"In the
machinery of legislation and ad-
ministration, a Senate is as useful as a
third wheel on a cart, or a fifth leg on
a dog. Perhaps it is even more useful
than such appendages, but its greater
usefulness is not apparent. It is the
obsolete implement of a governing
class and it appears and reappears as
a result of man's faculty of imita-
tion."
RAILWAYS IN CANADA.
were passengers, 010 employes and 101
others,
At the close of the fiscal year there
were 793 miles of electric railway com-
pleted, of which '7(i8 miles were laid
with steel rails, 180 miles being double
tracked. The pai(l'up capital amount-
ed to $01,033,321, The ntunber of miles
in operation was 793, the actual in-
crease being 20 miles. The gross earn-
ings aggregated $9,357,125, an increase
of $003,510, and the working expenses
$5,913,101, an increase of $$591,677,

increase of 22,777,310, and the freight
carried amounted to 510,350 tons, an
increase of 110,189 tons.
The number of steam railways in
actual operation, including the two
Government roads, at the close of the
fiscal year, June 30, 1905, was 194;
some of these, however, are amalga-
mated or leased, making the total
number of controlling companies 91,
not including the Government rail-
ways. On June 30, 1905, the number
of miles of completed railway was
20,601. an increase of 990 miles, besides
3,632 miles of sidings. The number of
miles laid with steel rails was 20,533,
of which 838 miles was double track.
The number of miles in operation was

Grand Trunk Railway, 3,112 miles;
the Intercolonial, 1,449 miles; the
Canada Atlantic, 458 miles; and the
Canadian Northern, 1,880.57 miles.
The gross earnings of the year
amounted to $106,407,100, an increase
of $6,217,703, and the working expen-
ses aggregated $79,977,574, an increase
of $5,414,421 compared with those of
the previous year, leaving the net
earnings $20,489,625, an increase of
$833,351. The number of passengers
carried was 25,288,7X, an increase of
1,647,058, and the freight traffic
amounted to 50,803,057 tons, an in-
crease of 2,706,438 tons. The total
number of miles run by trains was
65,031,114, an increase of 4,04,112.
The accident returns show a total of
468 persons killed, 35 being passenger,
206 employes, and 227 other, and, in

RAILWAY TAXATION.
(Weekly Sun.)
In Michigan the total sum to be col-
lected in railway laxation this year,
under a decision rendered last month,
will exceed three and one-half million
dollars, This is at the rate of about
$400 per mile, or nearly $140 per utile
in excess of the amount collected in
the same State two years ago.
In Michigan all the taxes imposed
on railways are levied by the State,
and it is a simple matter to arrive at
what the total is. In Ontario the
taxes paid by railways are imposed in
part by the Province and in part by
the municipalities, and it is more diffi-
cult to learn how much the combined
levy is. Approximately, however,
this is about $400,000, or in the neigh-
borhood of $80 per mile. This makes
the taxation of railways here, on a
mileage basis, bear the proportion of
nearly $1 to $7 as compared with
Michigan ; in other words, Michigan
will collect almost $7 in taxes for the
same length of track that will be let
off on payment of $1 in Ontario.
Railways in Michigan are in no bet-
ter position in regard to earning
power than are those in Older Ontario.
The population of the State and Pro-
vince are practically equal ; the two
are on the same footing as regards
large centres of population, and they
are side by side links in the chain of
international communication between
East and West. The Sun does not
contend that railway taxation here
should be brought up to the level of
that prevailing in Michigan ; we are
inclined to think our neighbors have,
perhaps, gone a little too far. But if
railways in Ontario were taxed five
time as much as they are taxed now
the burden imposed upon them would
be no greater than farmers are forced
to bear now, and no greater than our
railways could well afford to carry.

-A sample of communion wine was
found by a New York expert to con-
tain wood alcohol, hard cider and
aniline coloring.
-It is estimated that $200,000,000
worth of perishable food products are
carried in cold storage in the United
States annually.
- Durham has a lady implement
agent and Markham has a woman
who is an insurance agent and an is-
suer of marriage licenses.
-The Volunteer Fireman's Associa-
tion of Ontario will have a bill submit-
ted at the session of the Legislature,
to require all fire insurance companies
to pay 2 per cent. of the premiums col-
lected to the municipal Treasurer, the
amount to be expended in extending
the efficiency of volunteer fire com-
panies and in providing a home for
disabled and infirm volunteer fire-
men.
-A recent report from Toronto
says :-Estimates are now being pre-
pared by the Grand Trunk as to the
cost of installing a telephone system
on all the lines of the company, and it
is probable that the work of placing
such a system in service will com-
mence early this summer. The cost
of such an undertaking is estiinated to
be not less than $150,000 and it may
reach $200,000.
CAUGHT COLD
ON THE C.P.R.
A. E. Mumford tells how Psychine
cured him after the Doctors
gave him up
"It is twelve years since Psychine cured
me of galloping consumption." The
speaker was Mr. A. E. Mumford, sic feet
tall, and looking just what he is a husky
healthy farmer. He works hie own farm
near Magnetawan, Ont.
" I caught my cold working as a fireman
on the C.P.R." he continued. " I had
night sweats, chills and fever and frequent-
ly coughed up pieces of my lungs. I was
sinking fast and the doctors said there
was no hope for me. Two months treat-
ment of Psychine put me right on my feet
and I have had no return of lung trouble
since."
If Mr. Mumford had started to take
Psychine when he first caught cold he
would have saved himself a lot of anxiety
and suffering. Psychine cures all lung
troubles by killing the germs --the roots of
the disease.

---The five youths who were scut up
for trial a few weeks ago by a magis-
trate at Seafortlh for disturbing public
worship at a Kinhurn church, decided
not to wait for the assizes and hare
their case go before a jury. They
were taken to Goderich and had their
case disposed of by the county judge,
paying a fine of $5 each and being
bound over for a year to keep the
peace. Served thein right.
-Reports from Southern Ontario
say :--There is every indication at
present that the fruit crop will be a
failure this year. The warm weather
this winter caused the buds to ad-
vance too rapidly, and the few days
cold weather experienced a couple of
weeks ago damaged them: One of
the largest local growers says his
peach crop will be a complete failure.
Reports from the Niagara district also
say that. the fruit crop has been badly
damaged.
Says the Durham Review :--An in-
cident occurred last week which we
cannot refrain from mentioning, tho'
the hero of it we are sure would bo
the last man to sanction publicity.
Mr. Malcolm McInnis of the Gravel
Road bought a horse for a good round
sum at Commissioner Neil McCon-
nel's sale, and by some mischance it
died next day. Mr. McConnel called
on Mr. McInnis, and was assured that
no blame was attached to him in the
matter, Mr. McConnel did not think
so either, but insisted on hearing the
loss, and handed back to Mr. McInnis
the note he hacl given at the sale.
A transaction such as this quickens
our faith in human nature.
Terrible Back Pains.
They fairly agonize your life.
Something powerful and penetrating
needed. Doctors know of nothing so
swift to relieve as Nerviline, a strong,
penetrating liniment made to cure
just such pain as yours. Nerviline is
very concentrated, about four times
more powerful than ordinary lini-
ments. In the worst cases Poison's
Nerviline is extraordinarily good.
All muscular pain flees before it.
Nearly fifty years in use -a good re-
commendation, surely. -
