WEAKHow many woolen
there are that get no re -
TIRED freshment from sleep.
They wake in the morn -
WOMEN ing and feel tinder than
when they went to bed.
They have a dizzy sensation in the head,
the heart palpitates; they are irritable
and nervous, weak and worn out, and
the lightest household duties during the
day seem to be a drag and a burden. ,
ILEURN'S HEART
AND NERVE PILLS
are the very remedy that weak, nervous,
tired out, sickly women need to restore
them the blessing of good health.
They give sound, restful sleep, tone up
the nerves, strengthen the heart, and
ivale rich blood. Mrs. C. McDonald,
Portage la Prairie, Man., writes: "I was
troubled with shortness of breath, palpi-
tation of the heart and weak spells. I
got four boxes of Milburn's Heart and
Nerve Pills, and after taking them I was
completely cured.

PULSE OF THE PRESS.
The Bohcaygeon Independent, with
considerable aptitude, in theee days of
graft, has the following to say: -What
in the proportion of the populace who
are clear white? How many are not
interested in grafts, or iu gambling;
how many professional men are charging
what their services are worth, and no
more; how many in business would re-
frain from charging a bigger profit if
they thought they could get it; how
many laborers think or Dare whether
their labor is worth the wage or not?
The prevailing spirit is reach for all yon
can get,
Tributea to Canada's progress and
prosperity are features of the New Years
reviews of 1905 in the London. Eng ,
press. One writer says: -"This year
Canada keeps booming ahead. Canada
keeps wide open doors for the courage
eons and stalwart and has not only at-
tracted the best of our surplus popula-
tion, bat is receiving constantly increas-
ed immigrants from the United States.
This bounding of the Dominion bas
touched Australia with a little envy.
Australia is not developing as she ought
and much blame is thrown on labor or-
ganization."
The silver dis^,overies at Cobalt are
due to Hon, Mr Ross' policy of develop-
ment of Northern Ontario, which those
now in power opposed and obstructed in
every way possible. The railway build-
ing led to the mineral prospecting. Not
only that, but in 1889 at Mr Ross' re-
quest the Director of Surveys for Outer -
sent out ten surveying parties to re-
port on the land. Mr. Whitney declared
to be useless -"rock and muskeg" --and
which Tory papers joinedin depreciating.
Now the Director says they found a clay
belt containing 16,000,000 acres, in which
many townships containing not one acro
of useless land have been opened up. In
area it is equal to the twenty-two conn-
tiee of Ontario, west of Toronto. Time
justifies Ross' course. -Hamilton Times.

Chest P
82113
of Bronchitis
TT is the tendency of every cold to
develop into bronchitis, consump-
tion or some form of lung trouble.
Bronchitis is most dreaded, because
it has a tendency to become chronic
and return again and again, until the
patient becomes worn out or falls an
easy prey to consumption or pneu-
monia.
If the cough is dry and hard; if
there is pain, soreness or tightness in
the chest; if breathing is difficult and
causes pain in the chest, you have
every reason to suppose that you
have bronchitis, and should promptly
begin the use of Dr. Chase's Syrup
of Linseed and Turpentine.
Cough mixtures that may help an
ordinary cold have no effect on brou-
chitis and asthma, but Dr. Chase's
Syrup of Linseed and Turpentine
has won its enviable reputation on
account of its wonderful success in
Ming these ailments. 25 cents a

Ultimo, it is distinctly to the advantage -
of Canada, that her people are to be
those and the descendants of those who
have been brought up under political
conditions that in some degree appr0xi-
Iuate to those which they and their
children are to live under in the future,
thus giving assurance that the problem
of assimilation will not be a seriously
difficult one. The barriers which the
Dominion Government throws in the
way of immigration are quite as onerous
as those which we have in this country.
Tne Government at Ottawa is not will-
ing to fill up the country with undesir-
able citizens, and thus far, apparently,
it has bad no difkoulry in getting a large
share of what we should consider the
cream of immigration -that is, an in-
coming made np of English speaking
people. When the country becomes
richer and possesses larger and more
diversed indnstries, it may drag in an
immigration from Southern and Easteru
Europe, but thus far it appears to be al -
moat entirely exempted from that class
of population. -Ottawa Free Press.
TEN THOUSAND IMMIGRANTS.
The efforts of the Salvation Army on
the lines of immigration were so success-
ful iast year that arrangements have
been made for ten thousand people to
leave the shores of Great Britain through
the same agency during the coming sea
son. These immigrants will be selected
from a possible one hundred thousand
applicants, and when it is known that
each case is thoroughly investigated,
and preference given only to those who
are likely to make good settlers, the
efforts of General Booth's worthy movo-
ment will be thoroughly appreciated by
every Cauadian.
The entire aecommodatioa of three
steamers has been chartered for this
season's business, and the first organized
party of 1,500 will embark on the S. S
Kensington, March 1st, arriving in Hali-
fax ten days later. Many of theee peo-
ple are from the agricultural districts of
Great Britain; in fact, the majority
are coming to Canada intent ou eugaging
in farm work, and will be distributed to
farms iu Ontario ou arrival. Farmers
who have not secured their help for the
season will do well to write to Brigadier
Thos. Howell, Secretary S. A. Immigra-
tion Department, James and Albert
streets, Toronto, for applicatioa forms
and further particulars.
Many splendid tributes have been paid
to the Salvation Army for the excellent
class of men who have already been
brought to this country.
BANNER YEAR IN DAIRY.
The year 1905 was the greatest year in
the history of Ontario, in the productinn
of cheese, butter, and bacon. Speaking
at the Dairymen's convention at Peter-
boro a few days ago, President Derby-
shire said in part: -
"This has been the banner year L. On-
tario both as to aggregate output of dairy
product and the amount received. We
made about the same quantity of cheese,
and our butter production has beaten
all records. Our cheese exports from
Montreal for the season just closed were
21,121,101 boxes. I estimate the cheese
on stand. in Canada at the close of navi-
gation at 400,000 boxes, which would
make 2,600,000 boxes, valued at $22,000,-
000. Our butter exports from Montreal
were 573,449 packages, and the estimat-
ed stock in Canada is 125,000 packages,
so we made in the season 700,000 pack-
ages, valued at $9,000,000. The bacon
trade so closely allied with tho dairy in-
dustry amounted to about $15,000,000.
Oar home consumption in 1905 was about
8,500,000 packages You will be glad to
know that we received about $10,000,-
000, more in 1905 than in 1904, for cheese
butter and bacon. Our dairy men pro-
duced, excluding condensed mill., milk
for cities, towns, etc., cheese valued at
$22,000,000, butter, $8,000,000, bacon,
$10,000,000, and the home consumption
was $50,000,000, or a grand total of $95,-
000,000. We are sending our goo's not
only to the mauler country, to the West
(i and Japan as well, in increasing quanti-
Ities sash year."
The Delineator for February.
For the woman of fashion the l'eb-
rnary Delineator, with its display of
-Spring styles, is a most attractive inert -
bet. Beside the fashions there is much
of interest for the general reader, and
the departments concerning the practi-
eal householder hese been abundantly
contributed to. Viers are short stories
by 'Zona Gale and Margaret Beauchamp,
with an intorestirig travel sketch entitled
"In Clare With a Camera," by Reface
'Wyndham. Miss Winelow's story of
club life, "The President of Qaert,'" ig
continued gaining much in interest. The
"Collector's Manual" is concluded with
an article on "Old Time Lights." T'or
the children there is a delightful girls
serial, "Snniight and Sbado'W," one of
Alice Brown's "Gradual fairy Tales."

FRiVOLITY IN ENGLAND.
A C1w*Int That 1t Ip What Really,
kh;eepra the Neetten Sane.
Whicb is worse -to be too serious or
too frivolous? I have no doubt about
the matter rayself, so far as individuate
are concerned, though all extremist%
are bores. The perpetually lively,
feather brained, pleasure crazed crew'
ture is almost, if not quite, as irritating
as the .deadly serious individual. But,
Apropos of the accusation recently
lodged against us that as a nation we :
are becoming too frivolous, one cannot
help saying that we are a great deal
liveliet than we were a few years ago,
and for this relief assuredly wo have
cause to be thankful.
Tn consequence we are accused of
having become too frivolous, It seems
to me that we have just got matters
nicely balanced. This is an age when
we are prepared to be cranks on the
slightest provocation. People crave for
missions, they wallow in philanthropy,
they pounce with avidity on new re-
ligions, they will plunge into polities

THE HOODED COBRA.
It Is Venerated In India as the One
Sacred Serpent.
Of all the shakes of India the naga,
nag or hooded serpent, commonly
known as the cobra, alone is sacred. It
is called the good snake, and is con-
sidered a protector and harbinger 'or
success. The veneration of the cobra
is intimately connected with the wor-
ship of the sun, and is thus closely re-
lated to the orthodox liindoo religion.
According to the Mababharata, the
heaven over which India ruled was
mainly tenanted by Devus and Nagas,
the former being deified heroes of the
Aryas and the latter those of the Naga
people on earth,
AIthough wars continued for a long
time to be frequent between rival
chiefs of the invaders (Aryas) and the
invaded (Magas), a gradual fusion be-
tween the two peoples took place, and
heaven was shared equally by Devoe
and Nagas. The serpent gods are wor-
shiped now, as they were then, not as
dangerous reptiles, nor as mere sym-
bols, but as the deified rulers of an
ancient people, whose tribal, or, rather,
perhaps, racial, emblem was the nage,
or hooded serpent, and whose chief
deity was the sun; hence the i(aga
temples are not dedicated to the ser-
pent, but to the Naga rajahs, the an-
cient rulers of the race.
SOCIAL SPONGING.
The Extent to Which It Is Carded
In London.
There is probably no city in the
world where there is so much social
sponging done as in Loudon. At their
big funr•.tions hosts and hostesses have
frequently net the remotest acquaint-
ance
cquaintance with many of tho people who at-
tend
ttend them and whose cheek is only ex-
ceeded by their voracity, "I have one
particular case in memory," says a
writer In the Boston Herald, "where a
woman brougbt fifty of her friends.
It was at the house of a millionaire,
the Ilon. Glia Vivian, in Eaton square.
On the same occasion nearly every one
else brought herself, her family and
all her friends. It was a never to be
forgotten gathering. Many people nev-
er succeeded in getting beyond the hall
door. An excellent supper liad been
provided for about three or four hun-
dred, but there must have been a thou-
sand present. About 1 a. m. people
were sitting about in the bedrooms eat-
ing
ating saudwicbes and drinking claret or
champagne - in fact, anything they
could grab from the supper table -and
the story went that they got so hungry
and riotous that they invaded the wine
cellar and the holler."
/French Origin of "Save the King."
The British national anthem is of
French origin. The Petite Republique
asserts that the words of "God Save
the Bing" are a literal translation of a
hymn in honor of LotaiS XIV., chanted
by the young girls fat residence at the
convent of St. ('yr.
The French words of this hymn were:
Grand Dieu, sauvez le roil
Grand Dieu, vengez le roil
Vive le reit
Qne, toujours gkorieux,
Louis vietorieux, .
Volo see ennemis.
Toujour8 soumis.
The tousle of this ehant was copied
during his visit to France by Handel,
who ou his return to England dedicated
it to George I.
