companies.
Again, the total premiums aid to th
various companies doing business in
Canada from 1869 to 1003 inclusive
amounted to $188,455,850, and the losses
paid during the some time amounted ‘.0
$l26,205,(i‘l8, the premiums thus ex~
ceeding the losses by over 6*! millions.
Ii. round ilgures during the thirty-four
years the insured persons paid
thc companies 50 per cent
more than they received back.
Thus whether we take the figures for
one year or for a generation past, it
would seem to the casual observer that
fire insurance ought to have been fairly
profitable.
The great bulk of fire insurance busi-
ness done in Canada~say two thirds-is
effected by British companies, while the
business nf Canadian companies is ap-
proximately twice as great as that
done by American companies.
The Canadian companies appear
to have paid 58.18 per cent. of their
premiums in losses, while the general
expenses were 33.70 per cent and the
dividends to stockholders were 2.68 per
cent of the premiums received. In the
British companies the general expenses
were 20.49 and in the American companies
27.14 per cent of the premiums received.
To the average layman not skilled in the
business of tire insurance it may appear
strange that something like one third of
the amount of premiums paid for Ilre ln-
surance should be consumed in expenses,
while the Insured receive for losses no
more than from one half to two thirds of
what they pay in premiums, iind the
companirs are still raising their rates.
Sydney and Louisburg arc sometimes
spoken of as winter ports. and yet a
Sydney despatch tells of a score of vessels
seeking entrance there but unable to get

up the river. Crossing was edeoted
two points, while the attempt to cross
a third point- was frustrated for the time
by the Russians.
This news come from St. Petersburg
and we regard it as pronablytrue, as it is
an admission that a formidable Japanese
army has crossed the Yalu .River and
invaded Manchuria. Clearly the Russian
general stat! would not admit so much if
it were not true.
Correspondents will please exercise
patience. We have n number of letters on

prorogation of the Legislature.
That there is money to be made in the

item which we clip from a Nova Scotia
exchange:

$2,400.00; 1902, $3,200.00; 1001!, $8,500.00;
total $20,462.27, or a net proilt of $3,922.90
per year divided among the shareholders.
This floating bonanza will asain go to the
Banks this season and will make an at-
tempt to break the record.
Much has appeared in the riess in re-
cent years about the mysterious Picton
cattle disease. for which the plant com-
monly known as ragwort ha- been blam-
ed. In a recent letter to the Maritime
Farmer, Father Burke deals wi h the
subject, and in the course of his remarks
says: "lt seems but just to say here that
lo our Island naturalist, Mr. L. W. Wat-
son of the Marine Department, Charlotte-
town, belf. nge the honor of having discov-
ered how the weed proiuces the cattle
disease-that it is caused by the fungus
growth attaching to the plant and not by
the plant itself. This discovery alone has
made the present experiments possible’

“Keep your little ones stomach and

Claude. Que.. prmes the trutn of li. She
says:-“I have the greatest faith in Baby`s
Own Tablets for young children and I
always keep them in the house. lliovh my
little ones were troubled wiili constipation
and sour stomach. I gave them the Tall-
lets and they are now perfectly well.
Once in n w ile I still give them adose to
prevent the trouble coming back." If all
