ONCE Round OR TWICE ROUND
A Belgian physician asserts that he has
assertained that cough, sore throat and
bronchitis increase in an inverse ratio to
the width of the neck-tie. In 1882
the cravat went twice ronnd the neck;
bronchitis was rare disease at that
time. In, 1840 the cravat began to be
tied only once round, coughs and sore
tbroats Increased. In 1850 the cravat
was so narrowed that there was scarcely
anything of it but the knot in front /;
the change produced corresponding
increase Of the maladies in question
In 1870 the cravat does not even go
quite ronnd the neck, and bronchitis
becoales more prevalent. In 1873 the
neck-tie is reduced to mere bit of silk
hooked on to the collar button of the
shirt; and deaths from chest complaint
form a twentieth of the returns OF NOR
tality.

THE DOMINION oP CANADA has been in
existence nearly six years, in view of which
the St. John Neacs presents some facts to
show that the union of the several provinces
has resulted in their individual as well as
their general prosperity. In 1868, the first
year of the Dominion policy the receipts Of
the government were S13,6S7, 1928 and the ex.
penditures $1S, 4S6,092; and in 1879 the re.
ceipts were $40, 7S7, 1882 and the expenditures
$780, 68. The Dominion people began
their confederate career with debt of $751;
72S,641. In 1872 the net debt was $e2, 1877
or. During the period in question Sc, 225,-
900 has been expended on the Intercolonial
Railway, nearly half million spent in the
Pacific Railway survey, large sum was paid
as the expense of the Fenian campaign, and
large sums laid out in the imprC yement of
certain public works, which explains the in
crease of the debt. 20 .t+az79 y mart
The Dominion, however, will not find
much cause for congratulation in the figures
that its customs department presents. Dur

ion amounted to $107.709, 116 while the ex-
ports are put at ss2, 1886, 1858, showing a bal.
