1t Is only few months since the
financial world was agitated by the
dealings of b. p. Hutchinson, of
Chicago, who made a successful
corner in wheat, held tho market at
his mercy, and was supposed to have
added enormously by the transaction
to fortune already enormous. Now,
we are told that Hutchinson has lost,
600, and his family has forced him to
retire from business in order to save
the rest. From this we may learn that
grain gambling is just as uncertain as
any other kind, and the largest opera
tor cannot always control the game.

Christian Advocate.
Sufferers are hot generally aware
that these diseases are contagious, or
that they are due TO the presence of
living parasites in the lining men,
brane OF the nose and cuStaclian tubes
Microscopic research, however, has
proved this to be fact and the result
Of this discovery Is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
catarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay
fever are permantly cured in from one
to three simple applications made at
home by the patient once in two
weeks.
N. B.-This treatment Is not a
snuff or an ointment; both have been
discarded by reputable physicians as
injurious. A pamphlet explaining this
new treatment Is sent free on receipt
of stamp to pay postage by 4. IL.
DIXON Il Son, S37 and 3S9 West King
street, Toronto, Canada.
Sufferers from Catarrhal troubles
should carefully read the above.

instead of killing people, appears
destined to be the disposition OF them
after they are dead The Baltimore's
initial service was the conveying OF
Captain Ericsson's remains to Sweden,
and the first commission of the

body to Hawaii. This work, however,
sad as ii is, is great deal better than
that for which they We're built.
