MOST people think that catarrh is q
IVA disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. It may be that the nose and
throat are the oftenest affected by Ca
tarrh, but If this is SO it is so only be-
cause these parts are more exposed to
the vicissitudes of the climate than the
other parts of the body.
Every organ, every duct, every cavity
Of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca.
tarrh. This is true winter and summer.
Catarrh causes many cases of chronic
disease, where the victim has not the
slightest suspicion that catarrh has any
thing to do with it.

SOME WONDERFUL CROPS IN
WESTERN CANADA.
The Territorial Government Reports
show Results Beyond Belief.

Regina, Assineboia, Canada, January
10th.-At the Agricultural Statistics
Branch of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the Territories, reports are
now being received from grain thresh-
ers throughout the Territories, for
statistical purposes. The reports are
somewhat delayed this year, owing to
the extensive crop and the delay in
getting 1t threshed. The Department
of Agriculture is leading the way in
new departure, with regard to the
collection of crop statistics. In the
older provinces, crop estimates are
based entirely on the opinion of per-
sons interested in the grain business
who ought to be, and no doubt are,
well posted upon the probable yields.
Still the reports are simply matter
of opinion, in which mistake may
easily be made. The Territorial De-
partment, however, has adopted the
system of returns of crops actually
threshed, upon which to base their
reports. The accuracy of the reports
cannot, therefore, be gainsaid, for
they represent a compilation of actual
threshing results. In this connection,
Il might be mentioned that the De-
partment is organizing a system of
growing crop returns, which will be in
operation next summer. The infor-
nation thus obtained, with estimated
acreage, will be available for business
men, banks, railway companies, and
other interests which have to discount
the future in making provision for the
conduct of their business.
The crop reports already to hand
show some remarkable cases of alb
normal development. In the Regina
district, many returns are given of
crops of wheat running from 40 to As
bushels to the acre.
]. A. Smell, of Yorkton, threshed
$4,000 bushels of oats from $50 acres,
an average Of 63 bushels per acre for
large acreage.
w. r. Motherwell, of Abernethy,
threshed 1880 bushels of wheat from
so acre field, an average Of SO BUSH
els per acre.
In the Edmonton district, T. T.
Hutchings threshed 72S bushels of
wheat from ten-acre plot, an average
of nearly 70 bushels per acre.
s. Norman threshed $3.50 bushels of
oats from 60 acres of land, an average
of 116 bushels per acre.
The publication of the actual yields
of grain threshed will likely open the
eyes Of the people to the great capable
files of the western Canadian prairies.

DEATH AND THE EBB TIDE.
IL IL Believed In some Quarters That
Dissolution Comes When the
Seas Go Out.

Is there any necessary connection
between death and the ebb tide? Do
the souls of men more generally pass
away with the outgoing waters? The
idea extensively prevails along tne
coast in England and America, and
amounts to n positive conviction
among seafaring people, says the Bos-
ton Transcript. Death and the ebb
tide are expected to go hand in hand.
If a man is lingering in sickness unto
death the almanac Is consulted and
the opinion is expressed that he will
Ego out with the tide" This belief is
so characteristic of seacoast com
munities that the novelists have used
1t with good effect in some of their
most dramatic situations. How far
from the commonplace Dickens re-
moved the death of Barkis by the en-
ployment of this popular idea. "'He's
agoing out with the tide, said Mr..
Peggotty to me behind his hand. My
eyes were dim and so were Mr.. Peg
gotty's, but repeated with whisper:
With the tide% People can't die
along the coast said Mr.. Peggotty.
except when the tides pretty nigh
out And as Mr.. Pegotty said so it
was"
Oddly enough, some color is given to
the popular idea by the deaths of our
martyred presidents. The belief never
went so far as to include death by ac-
cident or violence, and never claimed
universally in all cases Of natural dis
solution. 1t was only that men in
general, in sickness and old age, go in
that manner. For it would be evident
to the dullest comprehension that in
the course of nature even there are
many exceptions to the rule; and that
accident and murder no more wait for
the tide than the tide waits for man.
The death of Lincoln, for instance, was
separated only few hours from the
discharge of Booths mufuerous pistol.
There was no gradual wasting away of
strength, no prolonged interval of re-
ceding vitality Hence little influence
could be expected from the tide, and
tude of Washington when he died. In
the case of President Mckinley the cir
cumstances were a little more favor
able for tidal interference. A week
interposed between the shooting and
the elimination in DEATH And he went
out with the tide. At the time of
death, 2:15 a. m, the tide was about
half ebb on the Atlantic coast in the
latitude of Buffalo. He became un-
conscious just before the turn OF the
tide and three and half hours after
ward expired on the strength of the
ebb. The case of Garfield approaches
more nearly to that of natural event.
He fingered on for months after the
fatal shot. Hope and despair rose and
fell. The spark of life frightened and
dimmed again and again. But at last
he also went out with the tide. When
he died at Long Branch at 1O:35 p. IN.
it was dead low water along the Jer-
sey shore. So two at least of the three
presidents who have fallen by the hand
of violence have in conformity with
