Waned with Cold Weather.
The history of the epidemics Of the
last half century prove that all ep-
denies waned with the first cold of
October, disappearing almost entirely
in November. If we add a month and
a half more TO the period of incubation
for infectious foci to establish them
selves. we are brought almost to the
end of October to have an epidemic.
An epidemic at that late date is out Of
the question. DR.. Touatre produces a
number of instances where fever broke
out in August, September and October

frost before it had assumed the proper
tons Of an epidemic. The government

Two Questions Asked.
Two questions were asked the attor-

effct, whether the discriminating duty
Of 10 per cent. provided for in section
% should be assessed against an IN
voice of tea from China which had ar
rived at Vancouver in British vessels
and thence shipped through Canada TO
Chicago; the second question was
whether the discriminating duty should
be assessed against a cargo of man
ganese ore from Chill which recently
