GOOD WORDS FOR CANADA.
The foreign trade of Canada observes
a writer in the current Harper's Weekly,
has grown during the last ten years from
$239,000,000 to $552,000,000, and Is now
two and a half times per head that of the
United States. The expansion of the
Canadian market is attested by the sta.
tisties of the economic prosperity. Last
year Canadian railroads in which $t,280,-
000,000 are invested, carried 30,000,000
passengers and 102,000,000 tons of freight
and earned $106,000,000. The paid-up
capital of the banks in the Dominion is
$33,000,000, and the aur of their assets
is $767,000,000. In 1905 the revenue of
the Dominion was $71,005,000 for 6,000,-
000 people, in 1885 the revenue of the
United States was but $65,000,000 for
27,000,000 people.
No better proof, says the writer, oonld
be afforded of the immensely greater
purchasing power of Canada today than
was possessed by the American republio
half a century ago, inview of these facts,
it is not strange that Canada should face
the future with supreme confidence.
It is curious to note that some special
attention is paid to the Hudson Bay
route project among the many which are
engaging public attention at the present
time. This route says the writer, will
be open for five months in the year, and
will shorten the distance between Liver-
pool and the wertern shippers of grain
by about 2,000 miles --is now definitely
assured no fewer than six railways to
Port Churchill, the best of the Hudson
Bay harbor having been already char-
tered.
The figures of the great preponderance
of Canadian foreign trade on the per
capita basis over that of the United
States have been- already noted. They
are figures in which Canadians have
some cause for gratification and which
may give Americans ground for thought.

THE GREEN BUG.
R. I3 Petitt, etomologist of Michigan
Agricultural College experiment station,
says of the green bug:
"From all parts of the state, com-
plaints are coining in with respect to the
condition of the oat crop. The last week
has seen a notable change in the onclook.
The young oats in a large part of the
state have suddenly become as if stricken
with blight, the outer leaves tnruing
yellow and a ter wards reddish until after
a little time the field appears as if badly
rusted. •A closer examination shows
there are few if any rest pustules,
Careful Examination with the aid of a
powerful lens shows the culprit to be a
minute green insect called a thrips, very
small and very quick in its movements,
jamping like a flea when dirtnrbed, and
disappearing completely. These little
creatures have narrow wings with
fringes of long hairs instead df the or-
dinary form of wings. They scrape the
oat leaves and cause them to become
withered and to turn yellow and die."
The Letter of the Law.
Dean Harris is one of the best known
Clergymen of the Roman Catholic
Church in Canada, and is as remarkable
for his literary productions as for his
ecclestical virtues. In the city of St.
Catharines he was so popular with citiz-
ens of all denomination& that he found
it comparatively easy to collect subscrip-
tions from. Anglicans, Baptists, Presby-
terians and Methodists. But a time
came when the last-named brethren
were desirous of erecting a new church
and they ventured to call on the Dean
in the course of their financial canvass.
The latter expressed his deep regret
over not being in a position to contri-
bute to the new tabernacle. He was re-
minded that members of Protestant
churches had assisted him in the church -
raising industry.
"I know, I know," replied the genial
priest, plaintively. "I would be glad to
help you, but the rules of my church
positively forbid the faithful to con-
tribute towards building a Protestant
church" The conversation then took a
less painful tarn, and finally the Dean
asked: "And what are yon doing with
the old church?"
"We're going to pull it down."
replied one of the heretic callers.
A great light dawned upon the Dean's
countenance. "And will that not Dost
you anything?"
"A matter of several hundred dol-
Iare." a
"That'fi a ffetk -situation. Now. I'll
tell what I'll do, Tho Mother Church
has nothing to lay against pulling down
what Protestants have let tip, and it'll
be a good deed to destroy the works of
the enemy. I'll help you tear it down,"
And the Methodist brethren went on
their way rejoioing, with a substantial
sum towards the levelling of their place
of worship. The Dean had made good.

ALL WEAK WOMEN
Will Find New Health and Strength
in Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
The weak woman can depend upon it
that be blood is out of order, for if her
blood is rioh and pure she will be strong,
Healthy and happy. Bad blood is the
cause of nearly all the aches and pains
from which women suffer. Keep the
blood rich and red by the use of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and suffering will
not exist. Mrs. James R. Kratz, of
Jordan Station, Ont., has tested the value
of these Pills and strongly advises other
women to use them, She says: "For
more than a year I wag a great sufferer
from weakness, I was completely worn
out. I lost flesh; could not rest a might,
and in the morning I arose .. • e tired
than on going to bed. I had ken doc-
tore treatment with no ben: • t. I grow
worse day by day and wa:./ginning to
look upon my case 3 s h. teless when I
was advised to try ► r. ., illiams' Pink
Pills. To my great ' 'y before I had
taken the pills a mo '• th they began to
help and by the time I had taken eight
boxes every symptom of my trouble had
left me and I was once •more enjoying
perfect health and strength. I look up•
on Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as a veritable
life savor and never lose a chance to re•
commend them to my friends,"
The success of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is due to their power to make new,
rich red blood This new blood streng-
thens the nerves and gives nourishment
to all the organs of the body, thus curing
anaemia, indigestion, neuralgia, rheu-
matism, nervous debility, headache and
backache, and all the secret ailments of
girlhood and womanhood. The Pills are
sold by all medicine dealers or may be
had direct at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $2 50 from The Williams' Medicine
Co., Brookville, Ont.
A man named William Dixon, a far-
mer, was murdered near Thessalon, the

suspicion of the crime.
Live Stock Maricet..
Toronto, July 30—The ran at the City
Cattle Market today was 50 loads, 1,694
head of cattle, 841 sheep and lambs, 221
calves. In addition to the above cattle
on sale there were 41 cars of American
cattle going through to seaboard.
The market was steadier than last
week, with prides if anything, a little
firmer. The run was light, and this
helped to steady prices. The demand
was fair, but not brisk enpugh to send
the market up any from last week's de-
clines, and it is probabie that if there
had been a heavy run there would have
been some weakening. As it was the
market was slow, but prices held about
firm. There is very little doing in 0x•
port cattle, but one or two fairly good
loads were bought for shipping. The
stocker trade was very quiet.
Sheep and lamb market weak and
lower.
Hogs—Quotations were unchanged
from last week.
