The Week's Commercial Sunlmary.
Tho world's shipment of wheat last
Week were 5,640, 000 bushels,
The world's visible supply of wheat for
the week decreased 579,000 bushels,which
isa smaller decrease than had been ex-
pected.

clared a dividend of 2 per ceut. on the

The stock of wheat at Toronto is 018,-
558 bushels as against 207,398 bushels
last week, and 30,509 bushels at the cor
responding period of last year.
Trade conditions remain unchanged at
Toronto. There is a moderate movemeut
in merchandise, and the outlook is cheer.
ing, The orders for spring delivery are
good in hardware, and they are fairly
numerous in dry goods. -Failures in On-
tario have perceptibly diminished, and
the sentiment on the street is gradually
Improving. Prices of generalmerchandise

United States and Canada is now 47,-

There is little change in the trade
situation at Montreal. The distribution
of merehandise is still of just a moderate
ob:arecter. and there has been no real
livening of demand as yet. Fourth of
February paymeuts in the dry goods line j
were rather better met than some antici-
pated. and one leading house reports
62„ per cent. of their customers' paper
provided for, but this is an exceptional
case, and general collections cannot be
called good. City retail trade in this line
is not in satisfactory shape, and failures
among dealers of moderate calibre, who
have been more or lass affected by the
departmental stores, have been quite
numerous the past fortnight or so. In
groceries there is no special activity, and
the dulness in sugars in unrelieved,

Sailor's luck saved a man who lately
fell out of an English railroad train go-
ing at sixty miles an hour. He was lean-
ing against the door of the carriage,
when it gave way, but on picking him-
self up he found he had only a slight
bruise on the neon and a few outs on his
fingers.
A canny Sunderland woman recently
lost her ring in sane cake she had baked.
Instead of cutting up all the cake to find
it, or running the risk of "endangering
her family's lives by leaving it to be

"x" rays, and marked the place where
the ring was . hidden.

by wood, and has been painted over in
oil with the exception of the faces of the
two figures. Six E. 3. Poynter, the new
president of the Royal Academy, believes
that its genuineness is unquestionable.
A wonderful amount of attention has
been given recently by the consuming
public in many parts of Canada, to the
delicious Teas of Ceylon. These, being as
they are entirely free from all nerve and
stomach disturbing qualities, are recom-
mended most highly by the faculty of
medicine; whereas, on the other hand,
the enormous amount of adulteration and
•coloring matter used in the preparation
of Japan and Green Teas generally,
makes all medical men condemn them
most strongly. We highly recommend
Teas of Ceylon to ell lovers of a good
cup of tea.

LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM.
It Seemed Fading Away, but. Miss SnuO
Merely lllisunderstood Iilzn.
She had met him at the door with a
loving kiss, but a moment later, when
they had taken seats in the parlor, she
rapidly removed the six engagement
rings he had given her and handed them
over with the remark:
"Mr. Samuel X. Johnsing, I'ze frew
wid yo' and yo'i deceit, and yo can con-
sider our engagement dun busted in
two.
"W -what!" he gasped as the jewelry
dropped from his trembling hand and
great beads of perspiration came out on
his forehead. "Hain't yo' my true rub
no me'?"
"No, sah." she replied coldly. "A
man may deceib dis lady once, but de
second time she's gwitae to distort her-
self.
"B -but, muh angel," he stammer -
e(1, "who's bin puttin dis trash in yo'r
sweet head 'bout me deceibin yo'?"
"No ono, sail. I dun seen de hull
thing wid my own two eyes."
"B -but hewd I do it, muh lubbly
dream, how'd I do it?"
"Mr. Johnsing," she answered, "I'ze
mighty young, mighty innercent,, and
as trustin as a spring chicken, but I'ze
got eyes and saw yo' wipin off dat kiss
I 'stowed on yo' as yo' dome in dis
eavenin,"
"I—I nebber did, muh"--
"Dix am de second time yo' dun dat
low down trick, sah, and I can nebber
trust yo' no mo'. Huh, and only las'
night yo' said dose kisses was dearer to
yo' dan pigs' feet!"
"B -bat" --
"And Glen yo' wipe 'em off as if dey
was dirt, Mr. Johnsing, leab me while
I shed bitter tears over my pore broken
heart."
He had been doing a deal of thinking
while she was talking, and there was a
look of injured innocence ou his face as
he stood up and said:
"Miss Smiff, sometimes things hain't
jes' what dey seem, and dis am one of
de times. 'Stead of wipin off dose kisses
yo' spear. of I was jes' nubbin dem in
kase cloy was so sweet."
And then the cold look disappeared
from Miss "Smile's" face, the engage-
ment rings were bunted up and restored
to her fingers, and the lovemaking that
went on in that room during the next
hour could have been heard a block
away.—New fork Sunday Journal.
Two Favorites..
A gentleman walking upon the street
was beset at the heels by a yelping
black and tan dog, the owner of which,
just behind, seemed quite oblivious to
her dog's behavior.
Seeing that the woman made no effort
to call off? the animal, the gentleman
turned upon his persecutor and admin-
istered a hearty kick, which made the
enemy recoil, with his' tail between his
legs and a loud kiyi.
"Brute," cried the woman, "to kick
a little dog like that! That little crea-
ture, sir, is a pet and is unused to such
treatment," and she bestowed a freez-
ing glance upon the offender.
"I beg your pardon, ma'am," replied
he. "I did not mean to hurt your dog.
You should have called him off when
he was barking and snapping at my
heels."
"He would not have hurt you, sir,"
replied the woman. "He is a pet."
"I did not care to be bitten by him,
notwithstanding that fact, ma'am," re-
turned the gentleman. "I am some-
thing of a favorite at home myself. "—

A CRIPPLE FROM RHEUMATISM.
Curedby a Few Doses of South American
Rheumatic Cure—.t%tirueulous but Tact.
Mrs, N. Perris, wife of a well-known
manufacturer of Highgate, Ont., says:
"For many years I was sorely afflicted
with rheumatic pains in my ankles and
at times was almost disabled. I tried
everything, as I thought, and doctored
for years without much benefit. Though
I had lost confidence in medicines I was
induced to use South Amerioan Rheu-
matic Cure. To my delight, the first
dose gave me more relief thou I had had
in years, and two bottles have completely
cured me."
A Sometimes Useful Method.
"I must compliment you," said the
eminent lawyer's admirer, "on the thor-
oughness with which you understand the
constitution of the 'United States."
"Thank you; but—"
"Of course I appreciate the fact that
it is your business to do so."
"You are mistaken, It is very rarely
that I undertake to go as far as to under-
stand it myself, My purpose is in many
cases answered 11 I can keep other reople
from understanding it."

A Collingwood Resident Tells How South
American Nervine Cured His Daughter .e
of Distressing Nervous Disease.
The father of Jessie elerohant of Coll-
ingwood tells this story of his eleven -
year -old daughter: "1 dootored with the
most skilled physicians in.Collingwood
without any relief coming to my daugh-
ter, spending nearly fivo hundred dollars
in this way. A friend influenced me to
try South American Nervine, though I
took it with little hope of it being any
good. When she began its use she was
hardly able to move about, and suffered
terribly from nervous spasms, but after
taking a few bottles she can now run
around as other children." Por stomach
troubles and nervousness there is nothing
so good as South American Nervine.

God and unfolded by His secret nurture

thought. We .fill a place in the great,
everlasting plan of God's intelligence. We
never sink below His care, never drop

South American Kidney Cure will re-
move not alone the early symptoms, but

Living close to Christ.
The clouds that for us mortals 'haunt
the land of righteousness and truth may
long hang so thick and low that living
close to Christ the soul may still fail to
see Him; but some clay certainly the fog

, the perfect enlightenment of the outer
life the soul shall see its Lord and be
thankful for every darkest step that it
took towards Him here.—Phillips Brooks.

There is danger in neglecting a cold.
Many who have died of consumption dated
their troubles; from exposure, followed by
a cold which settled on their lungs, and in
a short time they were beyond the skill of
the best physician. Had they used Bickle's
Anti -Consumptive Syrup, before it was
too late, their lives would have been
spared. This medicine has no equal for
caring coughs, colds and all affections of
