CANADIAN EXPORTS.

The export trade of Canada increased
nearly - per cent last year. The figures
are given in a report from Charles
Deal, United States consul at ST. Johns.
Quebec This report shows that for the
fiscal year ended June so, 1903, the
trade amounted to no less than $467, -
6S7 ,O49, an increase of $43, $50 ,OO0 over
the trade of 1902
On the basis Of imports which ac-
tually entered into consumption and
Canadian produce only, exported, the
trade for the year amounted to $44s.-
1sS. .999, as compared with S39s, ,S1 .35S for
the previous year, or an increase OF
$49. .377 .641. On this basis the trade has
more than doubled in seven years.

FUR TRADE TROUBLES.

In a report on the fur trade in Siberia,
r. T. Greener, United States commercial
agent at Vladivostock. says that the in
dustry is in a critical condition. Prices
have fallen very much and hrst-class
furs are hard to get. Buyers complain
that through the action OF some English
traders a few years ago IN paying ex-
travagant prices 10 the natives :or -Urs
-furs ultimately sold by the buyers at a
loss-the regular prices were greatly
inflated. Hunters complain that fur
bearing animals are constantly growing
scarcer in Siberia.

A Lame Excuse.

The excuse given for the delay, or
complete hOld-up, in the operations Is
that Mr.. Jacobsen desired time 10 look
into the affairs of the club and ascer-
tain the exact amount Of its indebted
ness before taking over the controlling
block OF stock, thereby assuming the
clubs liabilities and releasing Mr. Pos
tai srOm them.
This is lame excuse at best, since
Mr. Jacobsen has been in a far better
position TO know just how the club stood
than Mr.. Postal. He has been on he
ground all this and last season is close
both TO Tom LOTUS and Walter Hewett,
the clubs secretary. and when he made
the offer 20 Mr.. Postal he should have
been fortified with all information per
tanning to the property he was desirous
of acquiring.

tricks of that character when trying to
free himself from clinch. Jeffries de-
clared that If Corbett tried anything OF

an intimation that he Is capable OF look

LAWYERS QUEER BILL.
He Was Good Listener, But Hc
Wanted Pay for Acting In
That Capacity.

Here is the story of an Ohio lawyer who
did not become politician, as he was not
bullt on political lines. 1t is told by a
Washington man, who was his clerk at one
time, says the Washington Post. Lawyer
B was gruff sort of parsonage and be-
heved in making every one pay for every
service: One of his clients was the presi-
dent of bank, who, during the pendancy
of his case, dropped into the lawyers office
very frequently and told stories. The law
yer was good listener. and seemed to en-
joy the stories very much, but after the
banker went out, Lawyer B would say:
Here, charge Mr.. Blank SO for an hour of
my time III | have got TO listen to his sto-
ries he has got to pay me for it." Finally
the bill was made out and carried to the
banker. 1t was an itemiEed account stat
ing the date of each call. He scanned it
closely and remarked:
He has made me- pay for it. pretty well,
hasn't hep"
Pay for what?" asked the clerk.
For listening to my stories"

Lance lifted his head and looked at
Cedoni: ''At midnight, when the
clock strikes r."
The oracle has spoken" cried the
young Creole. 'Why look so mysti-
fed, my friends? We will have a
foundering party on the night of

Declaration, make speeches, sing
songs-in short, celebrate the glori-

NO! Well use the bath houses"

Let's print the invitations on

1--WE could have little flags fastened

"Oh, there'n be flags to burn"
And by dint of intersection, ex-
clamatio and explanation, the crude
idea was developed, and invitations re-
solved upon to a unique celebration
of the Glorious Fourth; one that was
to be patriotic in the extreme, and
vet avoid heat and sunstroke, dazzle
and dust.
Through it all Lance sat staring at
his hat in the grass, and thinking in
his sober, sturdy way. Of course,
it was only because he had been
reading ben Hur" that he dreamt
of the priest and the fountain and
the magical leaf. But the answer
to his question: "How and where
would happiness come to him % had
been: by torchlght, on the water''
Why should those words, of ali 9TH
ers, have appeared upon the drip
ping leaf? He grew nervous when

above the trivial tolls of man.
Lance splashed along with logged
determination, spearing founders, and
saying nothing. He would say some
thing presently-while the speeches
were being made. After they went
ashore the oracle would be void. He
saw no hope of a word with Cedoni
until the orator should be called to
attend his public duties. Even then
she would probably be invited inside
the circle of light. But he would see
that she did not go. Like all quiet
men, when a deed was once deter
mined upon, Lance expected to carry
it through. He had not an idea what
he would say-only that Cedoni
should stay and listen. So it hap
pened that when the grand stand-a

replied, quietly.

floated far away over the silent wa

FOR WOMEN
Much That Every Woman
Desires to Know
About SanatiVe Antisep-
tic Cleansing
And about the Care of the Skin,
Scalp, Hair and Hands.

Too much stress cannot be placed on
the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment and Resolvent in the antiscptic
cleansing of the mucous surfaces and of
the blood and circulating fluids, thus
affording pure, sweet and economical
local and constitutional treatment for
weakening alterations, determinations,
itchings, irritations, relaxations, dis
placements, pains and Irregularities
peculiar to females. Hence the Cuti-
cura remedies have a wonderful infu-
ence in restoring health, strength and
beauty to weary women, who have
been prematurely aged and invaded
by these distressing ailments, as well as
such sympathetic Affections as anemia,
chloroSis, hysteria, nervousness and
debility.
Women from the very first have fully
appreciated the purity and sweetness,
the power to afford immediate relief,
the certainty of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy which have made the Cuticura
remedies the standard skin cures and
humour remedies of the civilized world.
Millions of the women use Cuticura
Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment,
for preserving, purifying and beauti-
Tying the skin, for cleansing the scalp
of crusts, scales and dandruff, and the
stopping of falling hair, for softening,
whitening and soothing red, rough and
sore hands, for annoying irritations,
and lucrative weaknesses, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves, as
well as for all the purposes of the toilet,
bath and nursery.
