UNITED STAT ES TRADE

WITH GREAT BRITAIN.

Great Britain is not only by far the

largest purchaser of United States products, but she purchases from the Republic almost five times as much as she sells in that quarter, the pur- chases last year being $538,661,787

quired to take command of or lead a I body of French Canadians, a know- ledge of their language would be necessary to the best results.

Less attention is paid now than

was given some years ago to what Dr Goldwin Smith has to say about. Canadian affairs. In the Toronto Sun he makes the following deliver- ancein regard to Sir Wi|frio’s pro- posal of Senate reform:“Therc is evfn less ground for the notion, which has also been started, that the consent of the Senate is necessary to its ,own reform. The Senate might, of course, ,block a Canadian bill; but it cannot block a bill introduced into the lm- perial Parliament by the desire of the Canadian people. To say that a

in 1897 and the U. S. imports from Britain were $48,000,000 less in 1898 than in 1897. This shows the drift of _Angb-American trade. , The largest single items of Britain’s purchases from the United States last

, your were, raw cotton $137,565,160

and wheat $123,715,100. Next in order came Indian corn, $36,574,675,

f fand bacon $32,191,200. Contrasted'

1 with these big figures we find on the

, other side that the largest single

ritems of American purchases from

Britain run in small figures. `Linen

‘ _ piece goods made up something over ` $8,000,000, and cotton pirco goods a

little more than $6,000,000.

- On the other hand the United

States market is relatively a good one for Britain as compared with those of other foreign nations. Outside countries collectively, and exclusive

` of the British colonies. take but 15

per cent of their imports from Great

__ _ Britain, while 17 per cent of United

.States imports come from Britain. To _put it in another way, United Stages purchases from Britain were last year one half more than those of Germany, double those of France, and more than

from Asia, Africa and Oceania. The Republic purchases from Britain more than one third of all she buys -in Europe.

Says the Evangelical Churchman:--

“Might it not be as well for the ,,

Canadian Church to prepare for the work of setting its own house in order? We have a number of these' incense- burning, confession-hearing Anglo- Romanists in several of our dioceses who have never defied the Bis- hop because their_ diocesans either sympathized with or were afraid cf them. Now let us have the declared law of the Church enforced .vithout delay. Let the Bishop demand that these men give up their Romish practices or else give up their cures in the Church in which such practices are alien.”

be a break up of Confeder.,-:tion is surely not to argue, but to rave. " OE course, if the Imperial Parliament can be induced to take up the ques- tion, the Senate will be powerless to prevent its action. But befere Par- liament will do this it must be cin- vinced that there is such a settled conviction in favor of a change, as to warrant such legislation. We cannot expect the Imperial Parliament to play the game of any one party in Canada. At the same time the con- clusion reached by the Australian conference in regard to the constitu- tion of the upper house of the propos- ed Commonwealth there, will not be without its due weight. Even the re- solutions of our provincial legislatures _will not be without some significance .1 as expressions of Canadian opinion _upon the subject.

U” _ ‘ - ‘ Nearly all of the

pa1ns_ and aches, nearly all the weakness and sickness and suffering of women is due to disorders or disease of the organs dis- tinctly feminine.

A woman who suffers in this way is un-

Etted fo_r wifehood and motherhood. Ma- ternity is a menace of death. Thousands of women suffer in this way because their innate mod/est will not permit them to submit to the disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average physician. These ordeals are unnecessary. Dr. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Sqrgi- cal Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has dis. covered a. wonderful remedy with which women may treat and speedily cure them- selves in the privacy of their own homes. This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Fg. vorite Prescription. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned, It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and rests the tortured nerves. Taken during the critical period, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. Thousands of women who were once weak, sickly, nerv- ous fretful invalids. are now happy, healthy wives, because of this medicine. It is sold by all good medicine dealers and no honest dealer will advise a substitute.

_ _“ When I commenced using Dr. Pierce’s med- icines some three years ago,” writes Mrs. Ella J. Fox, care of W. C. Fox, of Eldorado Saline Q0 Ills. “ I was the picture of death. I had no heart to take anything. Weight was 125. My husband had been to see five different doctors about my trouble (female weakness). I commenced '° Dr. Piercffs medicines, also wrote to him for ali. vice. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, and one vial of his ‘Pleasant Pd-

lets,’ and am now a well woman."

About no miles easterly from

Halifax lies Sable Island, “the grave

yard of the Atlantic,” as it has been

called and it well deserves the name. 1 It has a _ more frightful record ofi wrecks and casualties than any other spot in the stormy sea. The island is a mass of sand of varying size, now I said to be 22 miles long and one mile wide. Older accounts give it a height of some 200 feet auf' 45 miles in length, but this may have embraced a. a portion of the shoals by which it is _ surrounded. It is slowly moving east- ward by the washing away of its western part and the filling in of the sand at the eastern side. ,There are a number of sandbars surrounding the low island, one of these bars on the northwest side being 17 miles long. Its name as a graveyard is the more awfully appropriate from the fact that ships wrecked here are speedily swallowed up in the sands. The Mora.-I via, wrecked the other day, was thus buried almost before her crew had reached Halifax.

The island is situated where the

three Atlantic ocean currents meet. These are the arctic current, the Gulf Stream and the current from the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Fogs are very pre- valent, and these add greatly to the danger from an obstruction which lies right in the highway of ocean traffic. There is an official record of 153 ships, barques. and smaller craft that are buried here, and these are but a part of the total. The Bourgogne met her fate about 60 miles north of Sable Island.
