QUEBEC. Can, July 1s.-The Cana
dian gulf fisheries this season are to-
tai failure, at least as the northern
shore and the. Magden islands are con-
cerned. Official information has been
received by the Dominion agency
of fisheries here from an agent
on Grindstone island, who writes
that the spring school of cod
passed the island while the entire popu-
lation was down with ia grippe" and
that none could be caught. For the
same reason Holsters, which were very
abundant, could not be taken. The
factories have all closed down, after
sustaining serious losses. The agent
writes that unless the autumn mackerel
fishing is good there will be dire dis
aster and famine on the island next
winter.

''The truth about Mr.. Blaine's case

for it. He had rheumatic gout, too, in
its most painful form. That, however,

where he has been convalescing stead

To-day Mr.. Blaine is as well as l am,

A country newspaper man, says the
Printers Album, has three stages Of
development. At first he runs a
newspaper for glory; dissatisfied with
results, he then runs it for spite, and
when he gets tired Of this he runs it
for revenue. Some editors assume
the role of public reformers. A man
who attempts to regulate the morals
of his neighbors has his hands too
full to run newspaper. He is like
new preacher who started out to re-
form the world. At the end of the
year he concluded to con6ne himself
to the United States. Then he re-
stricted his territory to Indiana; then
he concluded that Jenkinsville was
all he could handle, and encountered
so much wickedness that he finally
despaired of saving his own soul; and
clipping with a member of his choil
has not been heard of since.-Ex.

THE WESTERN SETTLERS SPE.
CIFIC.

Carelessly picking up newspaper
the other day, our eye was caught by
the above title. 1t turned out to be
puff of the marvellous virtues of
some patent medicine. But our
thought ran on something like this:
A "specific" is sure cure. What are
some Of the ills of the Western settler,
for which he needs sure cure?
Well: inconsistencies, discomfort with
his situation, dullness from running
in one groove, seeing new faces,
getting behind the times, and being
hidebound in his opinions. For all
these, there is no specific" so
remarkable as travel. Is the wife
discouraged and homesick? Send
her on visit to the old home. Do
you think the people back East are
having better times than you? Go
back and take a look around for a
few weeks. Do you think your
opinions are the only ones that are
about ri ght? Get out into the world,
and see how many people there are
who know more than you. In short,
travel, get out Of your shell, mingle
with the world. In whatever direc-
ton you go, the best line for you to
travel is "The Burlington" 1t
