In the Province of Ontario there are
1,000,000 mirth cows, which, valued at
$30 each, gives an investment of $30,-
000,000. The annual milk production
is about 4,000,000,000 pounds, and of
this two-thirds is sent to creameries
and cheese factories.
—It is said that nearly $700,000 will
be spent by the Grand Trunk Railway
in equipping the Sarnia tunnel with
electric power on the third rail sy-
stem. The erection of power houses,
both at Sarnia and Port Huron, world
. form a necessary part of the work.
—Dr. John D. Wilson, of London,
together with Messrs. B. Britten and
B. 'White, of Stratford, will build a
$125,000 abattoie just outside the city
limits. They expect their industry to
employ from 50 to 75 men, and are
asking the city for free fire protection
and free sower connection,
—It is reported that a copper smel-
ter will be established at Bruce Mines,
Ontario, to treat the ores from that
property recently purchased from the
English Syndicate. The development
of the mine will be actively pushed
and an output of 500 tons of copper
per day is aimed at,
—Returns received at the Trade and
Commerce Department from Winni-
peg show that ten million bushels of
grain found its way to Buffalo last
season as compared with four millions
the year previous. The principal rea-
son for this was that the Canadian
facilities were not equal to handling
it.
—The season's run at the Raymond
(Alberta) beet sugar factory closed
with a record of 18,000 tons of beets
cut, and 4,800,000 pounds of refined
sugar produced. The quality • was
well sustained throughout, and the
demand greater than ever before.
Next year the company expect to
have a considerably larger acreage
under cultivation, using only irrigated
land.
—A new industry has been started
at Port Arthur which promises exten-
sive developments. A $50,000 com-
pany has been formed to fatten sheep
both for home and foreign consump-
tion. They will be fed chiefly on
screenings from the large elevators at
that point and at Fort William, which
it is said can be purchased at front $4
to $5 per ton. Some 3,000 sheep have
now been received, but it is the in-
tention to increase the number to
about 8,000 should the business war-
rant it.
—On Monday afternoon last as Mr.
Jas. Connolly was on his way from
the village to the Butter Factory at
Holmesville, he noticed a lady just
about stepping on to the Railroad
bridge which"' crosses the road. In-
stantly he caught sight of a freight
train approaching at a terrific rate.
His frantic call just reached her in
time, and for the instant she appear-
ed dazed, but had the presence of
mind to step off the track. Fortun-
ately Mr. Connolly's quick perception
saved her life, as the high wind from
the opposite direction prevented her
from hearing the train,
—A new Singer sewing -machine
factory at St. John's, P. Q., is now
nearly completed, and represents an
outlay of about $1,000,000. The plant

buildings, all of modern steel con-
struction and fireproof. They include

What Causes Snoring.
When asleep, people that snore
breathe through the mouth instead of
the nostrils which are choked up with
catarrh. Just use "Catarrhozone" be-
fore retiring and you'll quickly cure
the snoring habit. By destroying
the cause of catarrh and healing the
membranes, Catarrhozone makes a
complete cure in every ease ; it cleans
the nostrils, stops the discharge and
prevents dropping in the throat in a
few minutes. Nothing so pleasant or
certain to cure catarrh, snoring or
cold as Catarrhozone—that's worth
remembering.

Ten Thousand Selected Immigrants.
They will be brought to Canada
through the Agency of the Sal-
vation Arany, the majority
as farm laborers.
The efforts of the Salvation, Army
on the lines of immigration were so
successful last year that arrangements
have been made for ten thousand peo-
ple to leave the shores for Great Bri-
tain through the sante agency during
the coming season. These immigrants
will be selected from a possible one
hundred thousand applicants, and
when it is known that each case is
thoroughly investigated and prefer-
ence given only to those who are like-
ly to snake good settlers, the efforts
of General Booth's worthy movement
will be thoroughly appreciated by
every Canadian.
The entire accommodation of three
steamers has been charteied for this
season's business, and the first organ-
ized party of 1,500 will embark on the
S. S. Kensington, March 1st, arriving
in Halifax ten days later, Many of
these people are front the agricultural
districts of Great Britain ; in fact, the
majority are corning to Canada intent
on engaging in farm work, and will
be distributed to farms in Ontario on
arrival. Farmers who have not se-
cured their help for the coming season
will do well to write iinmediately to
Brigadier Thos. Howell, Secretary, S.
A. Immigration Department, James
and Albert Sts., Toronto, for applica-
tion forms and further particulars.
Many splendid tributes have been
paid to the Salvation Army for the
excellent class of sten who have al-
ready been brought to this country.
Those Annoying Blackheads.
External applications will never re-
move pimples or blackheads. Only
by stimulating circulation and purify-

quick sure release from these pests
use Ferrozone ; it drives all humors
from the blood, snakes the skin
healthy, tones up the system. With
the pure nutritious blood made by
Ferrozone it's impossible to suffer
from any skin disease. You'll have a
smooth delightful skin, healthy color
and beautiful complexion by using
Ferrozone—and you 11 feel immensely

CHINESE MONEY. •"
dente 1* toed and Saute IIx Counter`*
fest, but It All GoeM.
Emile hard, a Frenchman, has au
Interesting chapter on the money of
China iu bre book, "Chinese Life In
Town and Couutry," Ile explains that
the unit of Chinese money is the tae),
which Is not a coin, but a weight of
silver—the ounce, of which there are
sixteen to the catty and 1,000 to the
picas. The commercial tael Is that of
Canton, which should weigh 37.783
grains, but usually weighs 37.08. Then
there Is the tael of Shanghai, which
weighs 30,6, and the revenue tael, used
iu valuing imports and exports, and
each large city has its own, that Qf
Tientsin worth from 4 to 6 per cent
more than that of Shanghai. Business
estimated In taels is carried on by the
use of Spanish dollars or silver ingots.
The former are weighed and stamped
by every south China merchant and
have to be remitted continually. The
Ingots of silver are cut from bars into
pieces that the operator estimates will
weigh 50 taels. Naturally each one
who handles them weighs them.
"Banks store their money In cellars,
In boxes carried back and forth by
coolies," says M. Bard. "This explains
the item of transportation which Is de-
ducted from the face of a Chines.
eheck when It Is cashed at a bank.
One can judge of the complications
consequent upon this system of con-
version of taels of different values into
ingots of ditferettt weight and purity,
especially as assayers of different lo-
calities refuse to honor the stamps of
other cities." In places where the dol-
lar is not used small payments are
made by cutthng up an ingot. "The
scale used in weighing these fragments
has two sets of markings; one for re-
ceipts and one for payments."
C'hina's national coin is the cash, a
round copper coin with a square hole
through it, The cash or sapak dates
from at least 2300 B. C. Eight pounds'
weight of cash makes a dollar. Years
ago an emperor decided to double his
funds by giving copper cash double its
value. Ina certain parts of the country
this performance is still In effect. In
other parts 77 or 85 cash are counted
as 100.
In IIonan the Chinese go to market
with two kinds of money, one real, the
other counterfeit. Some articles are
bought with one, some with the other.
Certain articles bave two prices, one
in good money, one in bad.
AMERICAN LAN DSCAPE.
How It Differs Front That of Eng-
land and tho Continent.
The American landscape, even in the
older parts of the country, Is generally
unkempt and does not lend itself as
readily to formal treatment as does the
typical English or continental land-
scape. The owners of big estates rare-
ly appreciate the scale on which the
landscape architecture should be laid
out and the patience which is neces-
sary to obtain a complete and consum-
mate effect. They want ready made
estates. hilially, the leading American
house architects have, with a few ex-
ceptions, n good deal to learn about
the technique of landscape design. So
far as the large house itself Is con-
cerned, a convention has been estab-
lished which is in the main a good
convention, but the designing of gar-
dens is still in an early experimental
stage. The stage properties are col-
lected In abundance. There Is no lack
of pergolas, fountains, well steads, ga-
zebos, statuary and pottery, but as like
as not they are Indiscriminately placed.
The architectural features are, how-
ever, generally somewhat better man-
ngol than the planting, which fre-
quently looks as if an Irish gardener
had been given some vague general di-
rections, or as If the lady of the house
had considered that it was a woman's
business to make the garden .green.
As a platter of fact, however, the lady
of the house, in case she has her own
way, generally paints the garden yel-
low and red rather than green. Her
Idea usually is merely to get as much
bloom as possible, and this she does at
a sacri0ce of those masses of foilage
which are absolutely necessary to give
plass, body and depth to a large gar-
den.—Architectural Record Magazine.
The Diver Kongo.
Tropical rivers vary greatly in vol -
tune in the rainy season sweeping to
the sen in vast torrential floods and
near the end of the dry season flowing
slowly and only in the central and
deeper portions of their beds. The
Longo, however, the largest river in
Africa, rises and falls very slightly,
and Commander Cameron accounts for
this peculiarity, which was at one time
considered inexplicable, by the observa-
tion that the basin of this great river
extends on both sides of the equator,
and therefore one moiety of its tribu-
taries are in Hood while the other are
at their minimum volume.
Smallest Bird,
The golden crested wren is the small-
est not only of British, but of all Euro-
pean, birds. Its average weight is
only about eighty grains troy, so that
it would take seventy-two of the birds
to weigh a pound. The length of the
feathers is about three and a half
inches and the stretch of the wings
about five inches, but when the feath-
ers are taken off the length of the body
does not exceed one inch,
A Great Iden.
"Did you eve': notice that most of tho
sudden and disastrous fires are due to
spontaneous combustion?"
"No, but I've often thought spon-
taneous combustion would be a splen-
did thing to keep on tap for lighting

wild hunt for happiness, and the hun-
dredth man stays comfortably at home
