PULSE OF THE PRESS.
If the Conservatives had kept them-
selves abreast of the times in certain
recent developments of what may be
called the business of Government, they
would have beeu,spared many of the un-
fortunate mistakes and much of the
terrible waste of time of the save= now
concluding. -Montreal Herald.
Sir John A. Macdonald when Moncton,
N. B., vas a small town, paid $2,000 an
acre for lands for Government purposes.
Recently more land was required and
the Dominion Government bought the
remainder of the plot at $1,000. The
Tories who regarded Sir John's parohase
as all right affect to see a big job in the
latest deal! -Hamilton Herald,
We may talk until doomsday about
the desirability of fostering inter -imper-
ial trade, but there will be little result
until the British maunfacturer makes
np his mind to systematically study and
comply with the requirement oaf the
Canadian market. The old country
manufacturer h to been too much in-
clined to the belief that whets good
enough for Eagland was good enough
for Cauada, forgetting that Canadian
tastes do not correspond in everything.

DEATHS FROM DISEASE.
[Good Senith]
The latest returns tell us that the total
loss of life by the earthquake and the fire
(in San Francisco), toot' up less than
2,003. This number has been many times
greatly exceeded. For example, in the
Lisbou earthquake of 1755, 60,000 perish-
ed. The Calabria earthquake of 1783
killed 32,000. In 1806 a tidal wave 40
feet high produced by earthquake killed
27,000 on the coast of Japan. AtMartin-
ique 40,000 perished. But these disasters
are nothing -they are but drops in the
ocean, when we think of the daily and
hourly tribute of human victims to
disease. Here are the figures:
87,500,000 persons die each year,
103,000 persons die each day,
4,800 persons die emelt hour,
70 persons die each minute.
1 person dies each second.
Every thirty minutes, then, more
people die than were killed by the earth -
Cause of
Constipation
THE" t bile " is Nature's cathar-
tic. So long as the liver sup-
plies a good flow of bite the food
passes along the alimentary canal
and the waste *natter is promptly
removed from the body.
Failure of the liver brings contd.
p tion, indigestion,clogging of the
kidneys and poisoning of the whole
system.
Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills
positively cure constipation by means
of their direct and specific action on
the liver, and this is the only way
that a lasting cure for constipation
can possibly be effected.

CURES WORST CATARRH
Just iireathe Ilyeanoi Pony Times a Day
and Lae lured.
Not until Ilyomei was discovered, had
it been possible to say truthfully that a
remedy for catarrh was known.
Hyomei cures the worst cases of
catarrh simply by breathing the remedy
through the pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit. Using the treatment
in this way for a law minutes four times
a day, every particle of air taken in the
air passages and lungs is laden with
germ.kiliing and healh-giving Hyomei
Stomach drugging often causes dis-

not only kills the germs in the throat
and nose, but penetrates to the min-
utest air cells in the lunge and enters

catarrhal germs in the blood.

ing of a vest inhaler and medicine drop.

Clerymen in Politics
Toronto Star.
The Wiunipeie Telegram has made a
vigorous attack upon certain ministers
of that city who aceased the Roblin
Government of being in alliance with
the liquor traffic. Whethe>C,ministers
should go iuto polities, either in or oat
of the pulpit, is a question much debated.
If they remain silent they are accused of
cowardice, of want of public spirit by one
party, and if they speak they are acoased
of impertinent meddling by the other.
Sometimes an effort is made to solve the
difficulty by declaring that the minister
leas a right to speak oat as a ottizen, but
not in his clerical capacity. Bat this
distinction ie easier to lay down than to
carry oat. A minister, say what you
will, is not two men, but one, and when
he speaks his character and his position
are behind what he says. When his
utterances are quoted by those to whom
they are acceptable, it is always with the
addition that he is a Methodist, or an
Angelican, or a Presbyterian minister,
and this description is supposed to add
to the weight of the declaration..
The only rule that can be laid down
in these cases is that the ministers must be
willing to accept the responsibility and
consequences of his action, and must not
expect his cloth to prated him from the
brickbats that are usually flying about
in a political contest. Preachers are
generally pretty vigorous controversial-
ists, and some of them have a command
of denunciatory language that the
political layman might envy. One of the
finest duels in the history of this country
was fought between the late Archibald
McCleary and Sir William Meredith,
then leader of the Opposition in Ontario,
Politics bring out all the human nature
in a man, and the ministerial profession
is no exception to the rule.
Dreaded Insomnia
"I was afflicted with nervousness and
dreaded insomnia, so that I never knew
for three years what a full hour's sleep
was. Heart pains and headaches atmoet
drove me wild. I had spalls of weakness
and cramps in stomach and limbs. Fin-
ally Dr Chase's Nerve Food watt brought
to me and eight boxes cured me." Mr.
Jas. 'Wesley Weaver, a veteran of the
Fenian Raid, Port Dalhousie, Ont.

Mrs I. Hunter, of
Raglan Road, King-

ten for pnblioation a
statement of her case
as follows:
"I have suffered
with kidney and liver
trouble and chronic
constipation for some
Mas I. HUNTER time. I was subject
to dizziness, bilious headache, nervous -
nese, drowsiness, pains in the back and
side, and a tired, weary feeling nearly
alt the time.
"I tried almost every remedy, was
treated by doctors and druggists with
little or no benefit.
"Finally, a friend advised me to try
Dr Leonhardt's Anti -Pill, and the re-
sults, have been truly wonderful.
"My husband has used Anti•Piil for
rheumatism and was benefitted greatly.
We agree that Anti -Pill is a most won-
derful medicine and heartily recommend
it."
This is a very strong recommendation.

WESTERN FAIR, LONDON
The Western Fair of London, Ont.,

Over three thousand prize lists and sev-
eral hundred hangers have already been
mailed, and the large posters will be
sent out in a few days.
The Board have this year added over
$1500.00 to the prize list, making the
prizes in all classes Well worth compet-
ing for. Entries are coming in quite
fast and space is being alboted according-
ly.
Over four thousand dollars will be ex-
pended on the buildings and grounds
this year, and an entirely new and and
up-to-date entrance on Derides Street is
iu coarse of erection.
The Western Fair has taken its place
as the leading exhibition of Western

chants are not slow to see the advantage
it affords of bringing their goods before
the public.
In the arrangement of the prize fist
the interests of the farming community
bave not been lost sight of, and epeeist
inducements will be found for the enter•
prising farmer to show his stock and the
products of his farm.
There will be an exceedingly interest-
ing programme of attractions this year,
of which more will be said later.
The Secretary, Mr A. M. Hunt, would
be pleased to mail a prize list to any who
have not as yet received one, or give any
information regarding the Exhibition,

CHINESE NEVER WHISTLE.
Story of American SuaketCharmer
]day Explain Celestial Su-
perstitiou,•
Did you ever hear it Chinaman
r'h1atio
it's better than 10 to 1 that you never
did and about the same odds that Yon
peva*' paused to wonder why. No mat-
ter how brightly the sun shines or how
the hop market fluctuates the celestial
never whistles a note, says the Butts
Miner.
Hop Lee Sing, a member of Butte's
Chinese colony, when asked to explain
the phenomenon told the following
story:
Many years ago a snake charmer went
to China from this country. Ire
charmed the reptiles and compelled
them to go to sleep by a peculiar whistle. '
The simple Chinese had never before
witue.ssed such a wonderful perform-
ance and looked upon the stranger with
awe.
One day a pretty Chinese girl left her -
houseboat home and ran away with the
snake charmer. The orientals believed
that the American had captivated the
girl with iris whistle in the same man-
ner that he charmed the reptiles.
After a long search the foreigner and
his bridee were found. The man was
locked up and the girl restored to her
folks. He was ordered to be killed.
The next morning when the execu-
tioners Came to the prison their captive
had escaped. The jailer was lying in a
stupor near by and the Chinamen im-
mediately decided that he was a victim
or the mysterious whistle.
Within a short time the snake charm-
er was recaptured and again sentenced
to death. Three guards were placed
over him to prevent a second escape.
All in; lit long the American sat in his
wooden cage and comforted himself by
whistling songs of his native land. Just
before dawn he closed his eyes and
whispered a prayer.
With a brisk step he wanted out the
next morning to meet his fate, whistling
as he went.
- As he was about to kneel before the
executioner a whistle sounded in the
harbor and a moment later an American
gunboat steamed in. The Chinamen
were dumfounded at the unusual sight
and thought that the snake charmer
must be an agent of the devil. The
whistle, they believed, was his method
of communicating with hell.
Shortly afterward there was a puff
of smoke and a shell whistled over the
heads of the celestials, exploding in a
josshouse near by, The temple was de-
stroyed and two priests killed.
This was enough. The executioners
iced and the snake charmer made his
way safely to the, gunboat and escaped.
Shortly afterward the emperor deliv-
ered an edict making it a crime for any
Chinaman to whistle.
Or course American Chinks don't
place any faith in the power of a whistle,
but the average celestial would just
about as soon cut off his queue as indulge
in the time-honored Yankee pastime.
They think it would bring them bad
luck.
ABOUT JOHNSON GRASS.
When It Was Introduced in Louisiana
It Soon Became a Puzzling
Problem.
It is not given to Many countries to
boast that its soil is too fertile, and
that plants transferred to it bloom and
grow with too great luxuriance. This,
however, is the case in Louisiana, says
the New Orleans . Times -Democrat,
where nearly everything flourishes bet-
ter than it does anywhere else, even In
its native soil. It will be remembered
how a few years ago a gentleman of
this state, pleased by an aquatic plant,
bearing a beautiful purple blossom
which he saw in Honduras, brought the
water hyacinth to Louisiana. Be threw
a few bulbs into a tub in tis back yard;
but the hyacinth, which grew slowly
in Central America, its original home,
spread so rapidly in Louisiana that it
soon became a great pest; filling our
lakes and streams, Interfering with
navigation, with logging, fishing and
a hundred other industries.
Stili later an enterprising planter of
East Carroll parish, who had found
cotton not profitable, determined to
convert his plantation Into a cattle
ranch. He had heard of Johnson grass
as affording excellent grazing in the
west; and he bought a quantity of it
and planted it on his Louisiana place.
It did well, better than anticipated, bet-
ter than desired. The Johnson grass,
encouraged by the rich alluvial lands
of East Carroll to a growth it had
Dever known in the west, spread with
great rapidity over the entire plants:-
tion,
lantation, and to neighboring plantations,
and one of the leading agricultural
problems in Louisiana and the south -
West ever since pias been, how to get
rid of it. When the increasing price
of cotton led the introducer of Johnson
grass to try and change his crop to cot•-
tn, he set to work to extirpate the
grass, but his efforts were entirely un-
successful. A sturdy fight against it
has been kept up ever since, with only
moderate success.
