Montreal, January 81. -"Portland IL To
be brought to the front as an Atlantic
port and VIII be placed on basis to
enable 10 to compete successfully with
Boston and New York for the through
traffic for the Western and Northwestern
states" This is practically the statement
made today to a representative of the
PRESS by Msssrs. Reford & Co., Montre-
al managers OF the Thomson line OF
steamships.
Montreal is excluded from this export
trade as well as the traffic from ontario
DO nts not only because OF its lack OF tar
minaI facilities, but more especially on
account of the prohibitive insurance
rates which debar all except limited
number of steamship companies, who
have a special arrangement with the
underwriters.
The management of the Thomson line
say they will continue their weekly ssr-
vice between Portland and London dur
ing the coming summer and they ara not
of she opirion that their line will suffer
to any spprecisble extent from the in.
auguration of the Dominion line to Liv-
erpooI, since the freight carrying trnde
in which the latter's ships will engage
will be only that gathered by the Grand
Trunk.
Ontario is said by shipping lien to be
the most important traffic producing
area in Canada.
On the other hand the business men OF
Montreal realize that serious blow has
been struck at Montreal by the Grand
Trunks action. 1t Is not improbable
that all Canadian boards of trade will
be invited to urge the Dominion govern
ment to place this port in better posi-
ton. 1t is suggested that the govern
ment should assume the whole OF the
Montreal harbor debt and abolish ali
charges on vessels coming to this port.
St Lawrence navigation should bs made
safer by better system of buoys, lights
and sound signals, the ship channel Wild
ened, Strengthened and deepened wherev-
er required and the port of Montreal
thoroughly equipped with the most mod
ern terminal facilities. These are some
of the requisites to which the govern
ment's attention viii be called.

Eserei.e ana weak Hearts.

1t Is not possible TO lay down any gen
eral rules as to how far 1t is advisable to
go in all kinds of sporting exercises and
other amusements so that no injury may
be done to the heart, or as to how much
bodily or mental exertion each individual
Is able to support. One rule, however, is
applicable in all cases-whateve the
sport may be, in the beginning it should
be carried on slowly, with but a slight
exertion Of strength, wkich should then
be increased very gradually. Should pal
pitation of the heart set in after any ex.
ertion 1t may be taken for granted that
the proper amount of exercise has been
surpassed. 1t is also advisable for those
who devote themselves to any sport that
requires unusual effort to have their heart
examined from time to time by a physi-

She is young housekeeper, and she is
without the aid of the much discussed
yet nevertheless useful maid of all work.
But that doesn't make any difference.
She has theory about making her home
attractive and inviting her husbands

cook the roast and prepare the vegeta-

them out TO a fine point and has solved

to the particular dinner in question.
There were to be two guests. the man
who is her husbands friend and who was
to come up from down town with her
husband, md the mans wife, who was to
come at 3 o'clock TO be sure of a coy
chat alone with her before the men
should arrive.
A little before o'clock the woman in

scrap of paper directly over the glass in
the letter box down stairs. Then she
walked sereneiy down the block and

1t was then just 8 o'clock; ten min

Tn. Habit of Thinning.

It makes a lordly briber of the giver

There is nothing mental in the work of

for instance, but to see an American citi-

humble, suppliant eye upon the change
which he brings back after the bill ia
paid and to see him dancing servile at
