THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20th, 1898 NOTES AND COMMENTS. Spanish Statesmen figure out that the loss of Spain's colonies will leave the haughty Castillians with $600,000- 000 in liabilities and without the col- onies which were set off as assets against these liabilities. Accordingly, pain requests the United Statestopay the Government at Madrid $600,000,000 as a memento of the defeated coup - try's lost colonial glories . . ins faith rests in the "noble ge. -: r o'"."elle American pearl's out after the Spani- ard ^ ::wve tested that United States virtue they will fi_ d that the "noble generosity". of the American people does not assay high in cash. = + x No wonder the Laurier Government claims a "surprise" when so many ap- iroprgatxons_,are, left unexpended, s A Richmond correspondent ' pdi'nts'' oiit that at last session of Parliament 13,500 was voted for repairs to the L'Ardoise breakwater, $1,500 to build a shelter for boats at Petit De Grat, and $700 to snake repairs on the break- water at West Arichat ; and he adds that not one dollar of this money has been spent on these works from that day to this. It further appears that this is not a new experience in Rich - amend county since Mr Tarte had the mastership of the administration. There was at the session before the last a vote of $2,000 for the L'Ardoise breakwater, but not a dollar of it was spent on that work. Public opinion will support any Min- ister who applies the principle that the Yukon • should pay for the Yokon for the benefit of the country. The toy_ ality and the reserved claims are both sound in principle. The royalty may be slightly reduced, or the amount of -wealth exempt from royality may be varied; but claims should be reserved and sold to the highest bidder, and a moderate share of the Yukon's wealth ought to be reserved for national uses. As for the London Chamber of Mines, with its gratuitous advice to the Do- minion Goverament there should be no hesitancy in the choice of an answer. ,Any gold that may be in the Yukon country will not escape if the provis- ions for the exactions of royalty and the reservation of claims keep out min- ing enterprise for a few years. Can- ada's interests all lie in the direction of encouraging English capital to work the Western Ontario and British Col- umbia gold fields. and people who do not like the conditions le the Yukon do not have to go there. Mr. Wm. Barrie, manager of the Clarkson House, Barrie, has accepted the position of clerk in the Zimmer- man House, Waterloo. The production of acetylene from calcium carbide is controlled by two French Pbysicists,;Messrs. Letang and SerAoll t by steeping i n g the carbide in a hot concentrated solution of glucose. When the prepared carbide, after dry- ing, is immersed in twice its weight of water, acetylene is given off•in the usual way, and at the same time a sucrate of lime is formed. This causes thegas es to be given gven off'with great uni- formity, stopping almost immediately on withdrawing the water, On Wednesday last a very pretty wedding was,beld at the residence of John Burdge, Brueefield, when his second daughter, Miss Maggie 14%., was married to Wm.

This Fact Demonstrated in the Case of Chester Gawley, Who lad Been Troubled With a Running Sore For More Than a Year. From the Times, Owen Sound. In the townshipof Sarawak,Grey county, there is probably' no better known or respected farmer than Thos. Gawley, of East LintonP.O. Learning that his nephew, a young lad now about ten years of age. had been cured of a disease of his leg,which threatened. not only the loss of the limb, but also of the life of the little fellow, a re- porter of the Times:made enquiry, and we are convinced that the Wonder working powers of Dr. Williams' Pink. Pills for Pale People have not ex- hausted themselves. Meetiug 141x. Gawley in one of the drug stores of the town, he was asked if the .reported cure was a fact. His face lighted up, with a smile he said, "Indeed it is, sir. t was afraid we were going to lose the lad, but he is now as well as ever, hearty and strong." Asked for particulars, Mr. Gawley did the most natural thing .iu the world, referred the reporter to his wife, who in telling the case said:—"In the mouth of Sep - Umber, 1897, my nephew, Chester awley, who lives with us, became filleted with a severe pain in' his ft leg. In a few days the limb became badly swollen and painful, and the family physician was called in. The case was a perplexing one, but it was decided after a few days to lance he leg. This was done,but the wound nfiicted would not heal up, but be - lane a running sore. The little fel- w soon was reduced to almost a skel- ton. This continued through the inter onanths, and we thought he ould never get off his bed again. In April two of the best physicians of Owen Sennd operated on the log for disease of the bone, resorting to scraping the bone. In spite of this treatment the wound continued to run and we were in dispair. In August a friend residing in Manitou, Manitoba, advised us to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills: We commenced to use them at once, and in a'short time several pieces of the bone came out of the sore, and before the boy had taken four boxes the leg was completely cured. This was over a year ago, and Chester is new well and as strong in the left leg, which caused the trouble, as in the other. Of course I recommend highly the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Such is the story of the fourth cure' which it has been our 1to re- port - port from Owen Sound.ensure e Chester Gaw- ley is growing up into a strong healthy lad, and it is but adding another trib- ute to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to say that they were the instrument in his restoration to bodily vigor. - Dr. Williams' Pink Pills create new blood, and in this way drive disease from the system. A fair trial will convince the most skeptical. Sold only in boges the wrapper around which bears the full trade mark "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." If your dealer does not have them they will be sent post paid at 50 cents a box or6boxes for $2,50,by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co.,Brock- ville, Ont. More cases of sick headache, bilious- ness, constipation, can be cured in less time, with less medicine, and for less money, by using Carter's Little Liyer Pills, than by any other means. C. P. Smith has been transferred from the Bank of Hamilton, Listowel, to Wingham. He has also been pro- moted from the position of teller to that of accountant.

Voigt, their grand- parent. A man's wife should always be the same, especially to her husband, but if she is weak and neryous, and uses Carter's Iron Pills, she cannot be, for they make her "feel like a different person," so they all say, and their hus- bands say so too l IT's so pleasant to take that children cry for it ; but it's death to worms of all kinds.

Address, DR. J. O. AYER, Lowell, Maes, Figures that Interest. The statistical Year Book, issued annually bytheD ini n Govern- ment, om o y is just out, and we make a num- ber of extracts from it that will be of interest to our readers. The book is a mine of statistical information, and covers a great many features of Cana- dian business that cannot possibly be dealt with in detail in a newspaper ar- ticle. The 'vaine of animal and agricultural products exported to Great Britain from Canada, in 1897, was.$45,827,010, being over four milliou dollars worth more than any previous year, and twenty-one million dollars worth more than was exported ten years ago. The value of the same products sent to the United States, in 1897,- was $7,090,620, beiug only half gas muchnswas export- ed 10 years ago. The percentage of our agricultural exports to Great Britain was 82.52, and•to the States 12.77. The value of the cattle alone We sent to Great Britain in 1897 was over $6,000- 000, while the yalue of those we sent to the St:i,tes was only $500,000,but the value of the sheep sent to Great Brit- ain was over $300,000,anc1 to the States over $600,000. The value of the butter sent by Canada to Great Britain' in 1897 was nearly two million dollars, and of cheese nearly fifteen million; to the States six thousand and four thou- sand respectively. Our total imports from Great Brit- ain in 1807 were • valued in round num- bers at $29,000,000, and our exports to, $77,000,000. Our imports from. the States were valued at $70,000,000, and our exports at $49,000,000. In other words our aggregate trade with Great Britain amounted to $100,000;000 in 1897, and to $111,000,000 with the States, in addition to that with foreign coun- tries. The number of postofCices in op- eration in 1807 was 0,191 ; no. of letters posted 123,880,000; postcards 26,140,000. Ontario mailed nearly half the letters of the Dominion,and two-thirds of the post cards. Out of over three million registered letters mailed, 125 failed to reach their destination ; of these 46 were made good, 32 were stolen and the others were not accounted for. BIRTHS.
