All of a sudden a new law is passed,

'1'1►e other day an Important dyeing
oompany applied to be allowed to reduce
its capital by about half, and the applica-
tion was granted. It was no question
of bad management nor anything of the
kind. Simply that the color of the British
Array uniform has been changed from
scarlet to khaki, and this lien had en-
Jc.yud the greater part of the scarlet dye-
ing oontracts. They estimate the extent
of their loss at a quarter of a million
sterling, says Peareon'a Weekly.
Some years ago a certain Ann of
wholesale perfumers came within an ace
c: ruin, and were only saved by heavy
sacrifices on the part of the principuls.
The cause was the outbreak of an insur-
rection in the Balkans. To those who do
not know what part Bulgaria plays in the
world of scent, this explanation sounds
ridiculously inadequate, butcause and ef-
fect are linked as follows:
Nearly all the attar of roses in the
world comes from the Maritza Valley, in
Bulagrla. The firm in question hod con-
tracted to supply a large quantity of this
marvellous scent at about a guinea and
a half an ounce. When the revolt broke
cut, the growers left their gardens, and
look to the hills. Consequently, attar rose
to nearly three guineas an ounce, and
the firm lost thousands of pounds.
HARD HIT BY ADVERTISING.
In 1902 a nuinber of largo British firms
e,1 ootton-brokers were pinched in similar
fashion by a sudden rise in the price of
ectlon, and two went to smash. And yet
the crop was not a particbarly poor one.
No, the reason of the sudden jump of
33 per cent. in the price of cotton was a
hurricane in the Gulf of Mexioo, a storm
which combined with an exceptionally
high tide, flooded Galveston and utterly
destroyed Its warehouses, in which the
the enormous quantity of 50,110 bales of
mitten were awaiting shipment to Eng-
land.
Cause and effect in the world of com-
merce aro at tunes apparently in flat con-
tradiction. A news company, like any
other oommercial undertaking, naturally
likes as much bn,siness a6 possible. Yet
the chairman of a well-known telegraph
company cornplained that the Russo-Jap-
a,iese war hit them very severely from
a financial point of view. The feet was
that they had not only to keep a great
number of correspondents in the held,
but that, as Japanese is a language with
which few Europeans are familiar, their
espenscs were increased 50 per cent. by
the engagement of interpreters.
Advertising Is truly declared to be the
very soul and mainspring of business.
let there Ls at least one case on reoord
of a firm being nearly ruined by adver-
tising. The firm in question are large soap
r,onuincthrers. About two years ago the
directors set aside a large suni for exten-
sive advertising. The result was a rush
On the part of the public for their wares.
Suddenly there was a famine in fat. Tal -
pow went up Ove to seven schillings a
hundreweight. The firm had enormous
contracts on hand, whicli they had to fill
141 a loss.
ANAI.YSIS KILLED 11lia SNUFF TRADE
As an example of what an invention
Can do to damage a business, take the
case of Messrs. ---, a firm of wholesale
chemists, who, in 11104, laid in a forge
stock of the metal calcium. Al that time
e
r wassed es n of I rare
cel.lum clan. one tho
metals, and its price was £25 an o►.nce.
Not that calcium is In itself a rare ele-
ment. It Is, In fact, one of the common-
est 111 nature, being ono of the two con-
slltuents of chalk and limestone. But
at that limo the only 'mown process for
extending tt in Its pure state was long,
tedious, and cosily. Early in 1905 two
German chemists devised
i simple
oto elrC
-
trical process for Lsolnting calenini. The
price tumbled Io eighteen -pence on ounce!
Scares like the typhoid and oyster, or
the arsenic In beer nre what manufacture
era and tradesmen dread wore than any-
thing close. plow many people are aware
that the snuff trade in England was prac-
tically killed by a senre? 1)r. ilassall,

three brands of sniff, and found chloride

goods. in June. 1905. Imports were 27,-

DAA AT FORT ARTIIIIR RIIRST
Engine and Crew Plunged Into the
Current River.
A despatch from Port Arthur, Ont.,
says; Tho worst disaster known in the
history of tits city occurred just before
midnight Wednesday night, when a tidal
v.ave of water rushed down the Current
liner, sweeping everything befuro it,
causing an enormous amount of daniage,
and creating a wreckage which will
anemia 10 hundreds of thousands of dol-
lars. Five lives were lost by the wreck
of a Leight train which plunged Into a
washed out track at the Current !liver
bridge. Another man is missing.
The disaster was caused by the break-
ing of the darn on tee Current River, used
for the generation of power. owing to tin
abnormal height of the river, caused by
the heavy rains. All the buildings 111
the•. City Park were carried away, and the
fewer house was inundated. Two C.P.R.
went out with tho Oa)d, and
about three-quarters of a mile of track
was washed out.
When the flout was at its worst a
freight train from the F.ast came along
and plunged into the swirl of waters
from the bridge. The engine and several,
cars were engulfed, teed live men went
down to death. The dead are: Joseph
Seaward. engineer, of Schreiner, mar-
ried- James hicBricle, fireman, of Fort
William, unmarried. Albert Inman,
brakeman, Fort \\ illiain. Two un-
known mut beating their way on lha
train. Conductor Ikssr w'as severely in-
jured, but the other ttuin hands escaped.

BEST WAY TO CURE A COLD
A FAMILY PHYSICIAN ALSO TELLS
IIOW TO AYOD ONE.
Slight Attacks of Cold May be Treated
• Succossiully by Recourse to
Fresh Air.
The primary cause of a cold is want
of pure, fresh air. Badly ventilated
living -rooms aro nec'ssarily full of im-
pure air, and if artificial lights -especi-
ally g►+s-light-Is used in them the air
becomes vitiated.
Two prodispos.ng causes of a cold
must bo carefully noted. Either the body
is exposed when weakened by falbgue or
oorstttutionally depreS-ea to a cold cur-
rent of air, as on a draughty railway
platform, to damp shee's o: clithos, or
even to the devitalized atmosphere re-
sult:(rg from letting a fire le:or' which
one has been carefully dozing get gra-
dually low, or the pores of rho skin are
opened in a vitiated and warm atmos-
phere, such as a crowded church, chaps'
or theatre. These calces may contb'ne,
and a cold then beoarnes doubly severe.
Frequently persons ascribe ihe:r crulds
to gong from some warm place to the
open air, when, ns it matter of fact, they
