INCREASING OUR MARKETS.
Consul Llnsley Recommends u Cul.
tivatiOn of Canada.


Several years ago." says United States
Consul Linsley at Coaticook, Canada, in an
official report, lit was impossible to procure
United States periodicals and magazines
here except by subscription Today all Of
the leading United States periodicals. mag
azines, illustrated papers and similar pub
locations are on sale and freely purchased,
news company. 1 believe. if the sale of
United States neWspapers-and especially
the great metropolitan dailies-could be
successfully pushed in this country, 1t
would result in attracting a largely in
creased demand for United States goods,
through the medium Of the advertising, not
contained in the Canadian press. The
Canadian consumer would in this manner
be brought constantly into close touch with
the United States, it's institutions and pro-
duets. So far 1 am able to ascertain,
not United States daily newspaper Is to
be found on sale in this vicinity, or, in
deed. this side of Montreal. How to work
up demand for these papers is problem
for the press. Possibly the attempt has
been made and failed. If so the reason for
failure should be carefully considered and
an effort made to overcome 1t. To make
United States paper interesting to Cana
dams, reasonable space would have to be
devoted to Canadian interests. With proper
train service, it would be possible to place
the Boston and New York morning dailies
on sale at most of the railway stations in
this province on the day of publication.
The few that reach here by mail come ir-
regularly and. as a rule, are not received
until from twenty-four to thirty-six hours

Egyptian Geese.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
In the Enclosure near the lion house at the
geological gardens may now be seen a pair
of Egyptian geese (Chenalopex Egypticus).
This fine species, which belongs to the
same genus as the Orionoco goose &C. juba-
tus) Of South America, has the beak equal
in length to the head, and at the tip bent
suddenly down, nearly to hide the
lower mandble. The wings, which are
long and broad. are each armed with
small bare knob (the Orinoco goose is often
referred to as the 'knob-winged' GOOSE;
the tail is provided with fourteen rounded
feathers. The sides of the head and front
of the neck are whitish, the back of the
neck is brown, also is the collar that en-
circles the lower part of 1t. The general
color of the upper parts is mixture of
black and gray, while the under parts are
yellowish brown, with some black and
white markings; on the breast there is
brown patch. The primaries and tail feath-
ers are glossy black; the tip of the beak is
pink, as also are the legs and feet. Alto
gether, this Is a striking and rather hand
somely cOlored bird. 1t is the l''Vulpanser"
of Herodotus. and was domesticated by the
ancient Egyptians. 1t is now found in the
valley Of the Nile south Of Cairo.

A RINGING
WELCOME GIVEN
Doctor McCoys Generous Extension of the So

Through the Holiday Period to the End of the
Old Year--Full Credit Accorded for the Spirit
and Purpose of the Plan.

1t that received with gratitude
everywhere and flor this Doctor Mccoy is thankfup
misinterpreted misunderstood nowhere, this
extension to the end of the year of the allotted
time. during which all deaf people and all people
suffering from Catarrh from Rheumatism,
from Stomach Disease. from Incpient Consump-
tiOn, or from any other malady, may receive the
benefit of the discovery that restores the lost hear
ing the benefit of the Treatment that has driven
pain and death from their old strongholds In Ca
tarrh and chronic diseases; the allotted time during
which all may apply and be treated at the nominal
fee OF - a month for such time absolute
cure requires.
Not cnce has Doctor McCoy's purpose been ques-
toned and in quarter has the generosity of the
movement failed Of appreciation.
The very essence of the extension touches the
ecmmOn heat of man. Not made in q reluctant
parsimonious. timd half-hearted way for u
fortnights grace, but made with the bounty and
courage of uncaculating generosity, it has
awakened the admiration Of all.
Indeed, it would be strange IL this movement
shculd fail of appreciatiOn-ths effort to make the
highest and best skill as available to those who
Cannot afford the regular fees as to those with
whom money is cheap as smoke, as available
to the poor to the rich; to and women
who slave in factories and sweat shops and are
the bent drudges of society, to men and women
who live in sparkling palaces and its idle
ornaments. Let the provisions of the extension
lie fully understood.
All deaf persons applying before
January 1st, 1898, will be treated ut
the nominal rate of $:s IA month until
cured.
All persons afflicted with Catarrh,
Rheumatism, Asthma, Incipicnt Com
sumption any other so-called in
curable nilment infirmity who
make application before January
1, 1S9S, will be treated at the nOmi-
nal rate of $3 n month until cured.
This offer applies alike to office and
to mail patients, to cid patients
renewing as to new patients beSin-
ming treatment during November or
