The great financial de- preseionon. the St. Petereburg Ex- change, and the wires deepatohed by Jewish merohante cancelling orders, owing to the- fear of pogroms; as well ae "the deeire • to please friendly powers," induced the .Premier to take all due precautions, and the Tzar announced that he expected every- body to obey the law 'and maintain peaoe.'

Ottawa.—A bulletin of the census and statistics office, issued to -day, deals with the figures of the year 1000. The census areas of field crepe entun- erated. in the month of June have been compiled for all the provinces exeeptieg Quebec and Withal Columbia, and the statistics of principal crops are given in this report, together with estimates of production computed from the reports of a large staff of correspondents at the end of September. The area figures for Saskatchewan are lacking for two dis- tricts and those of Nova Scotia for one district, but the totass of the Dominion will be ready for the Novenabor month- ly, and a -comparison of areas for the eeneus years 1001 and 1911 will then be made, For the years 1000, 1910 and 1911 the comparative quality of crops at the end of September was fairly uniform for wheat, oats, barley and rye; but peas, beans, buckwheat, mixed Amine and flax were lower this year by eight to twelve per cent. Fodder crops, including roots and corn, are unchanged for the three years. The condition of potatoes, which is 76,78, is the earne as last year, but 13,00 less than two years ago. The comparative condition of fodder and root erops for the Dominion at the end of September ranges from 82 to 87 per cent., of alfalfa, 79,55, per cent., and of potatoes, 76.78 per cent., and is gen- erally lower in Ontario than elsewhere. The Maritime Provinces and the North- west Provinces give 90 per cent. and over for potatoes and nearly as good 10r other field. roots. The census enumeration of field crops taken in June shows for the Northwest Provinces, together Avail Ontario and the Maritime Provinces an area of 9,900,- 0.21 acres wheat, 7,661,862 acres oats, 1,- 291,287 acres barley, 133,053 acres rye, and 1,090,615 acres flax—to which will be added the aereas for two districts in Saskatchewan. For the 'wryest year of 1000 the corresponding figures of the ,census of 1901 were 4,068,328 acres 'Wheat, 3,981,370 acres oats, 765,273 acres buley, 156,352 acres rye, and 21,202 acres flax. The increase in the production of the principal grains in the decade, com- puted for the present year on the esti- mates of correspondents, is shown to be in round numbers 148,035,000 bushels wheat, 187,049,000 bushels oats, 21,711,- 000 bushels barley, 664,000 bushels rye, and 12,300,000 bushels flax. These fig- ures are exclusive for two districts in Saskatchewan. • SEASONABLE HINTS ON POULTRY. (T. Uttley in Canadian Farm.) We hear big talk of hens that aver- age large profits for their owns. We hear tall talk of hens that lay ()eery day (only missing Sunday on principle), but when allvomes to all, the man that can depend on 150 eggs per year from each hen on the farm may rest assured that he is not losing money on hie chic- kens.

TOO LITTLE BLOOD The Cause of Nearly All. the Every- day Ailments of Life. Too little blood—that ie what makes men and women look pale. and sallow end feel languid. Thet is what makes them drag along, always tired, never real hungry, unable to digest their food, breathless and palpitating at the heart after slight exertion, so that it is weari- some even to go upetairs. Doctors tell them that they are anaentic"—the plain English being too little blood. If your fate is pale or sallow, if your gums are pale instead of being scarlet; if you are easily tired and frequently despondent; if you do not relish your meals, and small matters irritate you, it is a sign that your blood is thin and watery and. that you are on the verge of a com- plete breakdown. More weak, entemic people have been made strong, energetic and eheerful by taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than by any other means. They trettwAly make new blood, which reaches every part of the body, braces the nerves and brings new health anO new strength. The case of Miss Nellie Welch, Eesex, Ont., is proof of the great curative powers of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Miss Welch says,: "A few years ago I was going into what my friends believed to be a hopeless decline. I was subjeet to severe headaches, had no appetite, was pale and grew distressingly weak. I tried several doctors, some of whom we count- ed the best in this part of the country, but they failed to help me. At last my heart grew BO weak and I was so ver- vous and thin that I had to take to my bed atid the doctor held out but little hope for my recovery. Like others I had often read of Dr. 'Williams Pink Pills, and though the doctor opposed my taleing 'them I determined to give them a trial, as I felt I might as well be dead as to be living in the misery I was in. In a month after beginning to take the pills I was up and around again, and steadily growing stronger un- til I was again enjoying the blessing of perfect .health. Several years have sencc elapsed and ray health has been the very best. It is, therefore, with great gratitude that I write you in the hope that ray experience may be of benefit to some other sufferer.' sold by all mediate, dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. •-•.".^^••••• Medical Relief by Ind.ia Railways.

It luta recently been said in the local papers 'that an infallible test of a safe "mushroom" is that it peels, while a poisonoue fungus or "toadstool" will not peel,' Dr. Roberta Medical Health Officer, has corrected this axis - apprehension, It le indeed a very un- safe test, as some of the viruleetly poi. sonous fungi peel readily in their Bee- son. NQW, the presence of a "ring" or annulus, is offered as a sure indication of the edibility of the fungus, That, too, ie an unsafe test. Tho ring or "collar" referred to is, of course, to be found on mushrooms such as the Agaricus campestris, the most commit of tho edible varieties. It Is formed by the burstiug of the "veil" that encloses the "gills." The "collar" that remains is, naturally, frequently more or loss im- perfect. it must be remembered, as Mr. George F. Atkinson, of Cornell, says "that there are ntany other plants which posqess just these same parts" (the same as the agaricus earnpestris), and they are to be distinguished by the color, form, texture, ete„ of the parts.
