NOTES AND OOMMENTS.
The latest dietette fad is the eating of
sand. It ie said to cleanse the stomach
and kelp digestion. Theta who indulge
in the practice are probably tapering off
from the breakfast food habit. At any
rate all wili agree that they will have
"plenty of sand."'
Complaint 18 made of excessive freight
rates charged on the Temiskaming &
Northern road. The government, it
seems, is seeking to make big earnings
out of the- enterprise,instead of seeking
to develop 2e country. It is not good
policy, under existing conditions, to take
all, and perhaps a little more, than the
train° will stand --Brantford Exposi-
tor.
We see by the Lendun Free Press that
Mr. Peter Bison, M, P. for East Middle-
sex, "crested a storm," in the House by
pointiug out that a government cruiser
paid a big ,rice for potatoes in Prince Ed-
ward Island. fir. Jackson of Elgin, fol-
lowed this by another discovery that the
government cruisers paid as high as 10
cents a pound for beef ! This is certain-
ly getting down to "small potato" poli-
tics --Sarnia Observe r.
It is not unlikely that the Dominion
Government will take np the question of
increased remuneration to postmasters in
small villages and in rural communities,
which remuneration at present is quite
inadequate. The country postmasters
have a good deal of work and responsi.
bility, and have been receiving as low
as $30 per annum. It Is aurprising that
people can be found to perform such ex-
acting services for so small a sum. To
double the remuneration would be none
too much .
The attention of Jastioes of the Peace
is drawn to a change in the law in con-
nection with the commitment of luna-
tics. No person, who 18 said to be in-
sane, can now be confined in the jail or
the lookup unless he is violent and dan-
gerous acid there ie no other suitable
place for his confinement, Information
, is to be laid before a Justice of the Peace
and the action in the matter is deter.
mined by that examination; the evi-
dence taken is submitted to the inspect-
or at Toronto, who deals with the case.
Piles Make
Life Wretched
IT is a great mistake to imagine
that the effects of piles are
local, for, as a. matter of fact, they
sap the vitality of mind and body
and slowly but surely lead to the
ruination of the heafth.
This is true of itching and pro.
tattling as well as of bleeding piles,
which, because of the loss of blood,
are more rapid in their disastrous
effects.
Dr. Chase's Ointinent brings
almost instant relief from the itching
and burning and is a positive and
thorough cure for every form of
this wretched, torturing and 'often-
times stubborn disease.
Frequently when doctors have
failed td cure piles and the surgeon's
knife has proven futile Dr. Chase's
Ointmenthaseffected thorough cure;

A judge in New York state recently
administered a good fegankiug to each of
seven boss who had beep brought before
the court for pilfering. The instrument
used waa a "flat hardwocl file," an ire
provement on the traditional shingle.
We are of those who believe that the
good old.fashioned methods of punish.
meet are the best for Certain classes of
misdemeanors. Smote n, spanking would
be more to the purpose with some of the
"incorrigible" youths of our Canadian
towns and villages than letting theta go
with a reproof, or on "suspended
sentence," or even committing them to
such planes as the industrial school at
Mimico
,.Collier's Weekly" says that "in New
York a lone there are fifteen thousand
victines to -day who will die because they
were not taught how to avoid consump•
tion, and because uow there is no place
to give them proper care." This is a
terrible arraignment of moderns civiliza-
tion, Knowledge and fresh air would
have saved these fifteen thousand; and
yet, for lack of these elementary princi-
ples, they will die. It is hard to credit
that many people do not know how to
combat the disease, after so much pub-
licity of the simple methods of preven-
tion and cure; and yet there are thous-
ands of possible vietinis to whom these
well -advertised facts are still uuknown.
More, possibly, are dying because of
lack of opportunity to apply knowledge
than for lack of the knowledge itself,
We should certainly make it easy for
every victim to escape into the fresh air;
and, iu, aelf-protection, civilization could
not spend its money better than iu pro-
viding for such tint food which is noes.

With an aggregate foreign trade
amounting to $483,234,889 aud exports to
the amount of $208,233,972, every branob
of which exhibits an increase, Canada's
oommeroe continues to expand at a
phenomenal sate, and the farmer is en-
joying a large share of this great pros.
perity. The total foreign trade ehows
a gain of $74,037.160 for the eleven
mouths ending May 31 when compared
with the same period of the previous
year. The domestic exports were $208,.
233,072, a gain of $42,135,848. Although
iwpores for consumption were consider-
ably more, being $257,421,427, they do
not show as large an inorease, The
betterment was only $24,146,800 or a
little less than one-half that of the ex-
ports, Agriculture contributed most of
the exports, as will be seen from the fol-
lowing statement:— Agricultural pro-
ducts, total $50,148,583, increase $22,-
409,500; animals and their products,
total $60,002,343, m increase $3,614,359;
products of the mine, total $30,388,753,
increase $3,789,701; fisheries, total $13,-
872,234, inorease $4,325,915; products of
the forests, total $31,888,253, increase
$4 670,665; manufocturea, total, $21,852,.

CHURCH UNION.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
has pronounced in favor of Church un-
ion, thus lending its authority to a move-
ment which has already received the
sanction of the Methodist and Congrega-
tional bodies in Canada.
The resolution passed by the Aesemb.
Iy has in it greater promise of fruition in
that it is the outoome of practfeal con-
siderations and long -continued debate.
Although brotherly love may exercise a
large influence in
g drawing the Church-
es together, the question of expense has
not a little to do with bringing about
this salutary coalition. Canada is a
growing country, growing so rapidly in
fact that the denominations find their re-
sources strained, not, indeed, to keep
pace with the expansion, but even to
keep decently in the rear of it. Home
missions are the great work of the
Church in these days --men's minds hav-
ing gradually come round to the opinion
that evangelization, like charity, ahould
begin at home, Although the heathen
should not be neglected, the results of
Christian work among the careless and
indifferent of our own land are more im-
mediately profitable in the way of geed
oitizenahip, high atandarda of conduct,
and an honest and substantial proeperi.
ty. Single-handed no denomination can
cope with our home mission problem, It
has been a oauee of discouragement to
home miafiioa workers to see money
frittered away in unnecessary duplica-
tions of labor in the same field.
It waa with such oonaideratione in
mind that a general committee appoint.
by the Presbyterians, Methodists, and
Congregationiists met not many months
ago and drew up a sobenie of Church
union. When the committee got to-
gether they were pleased to find how
snany spate of common ground there
were to meet upon, It transpired that
many of their differences were merely in
name, and the report, as We remember,
easily got aroundthat by choosing names
impartially from the three Ohurch cow
stitutions which were under revision.
The articles, as finally drawn up, cern-
prised a well•ad uAted protocol of treaty',
Which the negotiators could subscribe
each with n clear t)onsolence. 'What
the Presbyterian Gellert/1 .Assembly has
just done is to declare that the protocol

assemblies being willing, it is reedy tet

MAKE FiGHT ON LAZY WORM
Porto Ricans Are Enthusiastic Over
Xcedieal Success--Experf-
ment a Good One.
Washington.—That the people of
Porto Rico have become thoroughly
awakened and enthusiastic in their de.
sire and endeavor to rid themselves of
the scourge .of anaemia, popularly,
designated the "lazy worm" affliction,
is indicated in a report just receives
by the surgeon general of the army
from Capt, B. K. Ashford, who is ex-
pending $15,000 this year in a cam-
paign against that malady.
During the months of June, July and
August nearly 10,000 patients had been
treated, with cures in nearly every
instance. In August at the medical
station in Albonito exactly one-third
of the pbpulatlon was treated. This
cumber was 2,482, of whom only six
died, 716 were discharged as fully
cured, while the majority of the re-
mainder are on the road to recovery.
The effect of the disease is to render
the victim absolutely unfit for work.
The disease gradually wastes away the
tissues, during which time the afflicted
becomes a public charge on the com-
munity. The natives believe this wast-
ing away was from lack .of food and
ridiculed the idea that„ a euro could
be .effected through the use of medicine.
Besides administering a cure, the med.
teal corps under Dr. Ashford bas been
conducting a campaign' of education
in regard to sanitation, This Is later
to be followed with a law on the sub-
ject from which great good is ex-
pected.
