People with good blood possess strong,
steady nerves and are blest with good
appetites and digestion, and enjoy
sound, refreshing sleep. If we could
always maintain the purity of the
blood then we might enjoy perpetual
health, but it becomes infected and
poisoned and most of the ills that afIlict
humanity and undermine the constitu-
ton are caused by an impoverished
Or polluted condition of this vital fluid.
When the blood is diseased the skin
loses its healthy appearance, and the
complexion, its freshness and beauty
and becomes red and rough and full OF
pimples and splotches. Itching, sca1y
eruptions, blackheads, boils and rashes
break out upon the body when the
blood is too poor or too thin and acid,
and is not supplying proper nourish-
nent to the System. Debility, poor
appetite, bad digestion, restless sleep
and nervousness more often come from
sluggish, impure blood than any other
cause. To build up the blood, restore
and nutritious again is the only rationa

The remarkable canal, less than four
miles long, cut through the Isthmus of
Corinth and opened in 1893, % centuries
after the time of Fernandez, who
projected a similar work, has proved a
disappointment partly because it is too
small for very large steamships, and part
ly because of peculiar tidal and atmos-
pheric phenomena. The high winds.
which occasionally turn the Gulf of Cor
NTH into raging sea- make a huge air
shaft of the canal, the walls of which are.
in places, 260 feet high, although the
depth of water is only 26 feet and the
width 80 feet Thus mighty currents
of air rush through from one gulf to the
other" Then. owing to a difference in
the time of high water in the Corinthian
and the Sardonic CULTS. troublesome re-
versing tidal current is met with in the

advised of the necessity of a uniform

called to the danger OF everlasting and

to return to the water alive all fish that
are too small for market. But appa-

Macedonia and her vaguely outlined ter
itory: but modern Macedonia? Her
limits. people, government?
Macedonia, a part of European Tur-
Key. lies between Bulgaria and the
aegean sea, and comprises the vilayet
province) of Salonika, and parts of the
!ilayets of Kossova and Monastir; thus
bordering on eastern Roumelia, Bull
saria, Servia and Montenegro; a con-
siderable territory. The mass of the
population to the south is Greek in its
Sympathies, while to the north the peo-
pie are ''Slav in language, manners, GUS
oms, names and aspirations. The Bull
garianS, who live in the north, are large
engaged in agriculture; in the cities
he ruling Turks and the Greeks form
he commercial class, though the Bull
5arians are beginning TO Gust the lat
er. At the foot of the mountains are
clustered various Albanian villages, and
he Albanians inhabit almost exclusive
y part of the northwest territory.
When one calls to mind that the Mo-
1ammedan brigand, cruel rather than
picturesque outlaw, preys upon travel
4r and villager one realizes there are
disturbing elements a plenty in this
land. Squabbles in regard to religion
and schools have been numerous among
these different folk, but do not consti-
tute the whole of the Macedonian prob
lem, as is believed by not a few. The Bull
garian church separated from the Greek
.hurch in 1870, and since that time the
question of religion has divided Greek
and Bulgarian. Add to this religious
.ncompatibility the fanaticism of the
Mussulman and one gets further idea
of the state of affairs in Macedonia.
The Bulgarians have been great mix
ers in the Macedonian troubles, if not
instigators of it all. Their ideas. and
the methods employed and directed by
them to attain the freedom of Mace
donia seem to the world at large some

sizes Need Of Fishing Agreement

Gals. Under the minister of marine
and fisheries and the Ontario Fish com
mision-the lake fisheries are mainly in
this prOvince-is a complete force of
wardens, inspectors and overseers. Two
armed cruisers, the Dolphin and the
Petrol, constantly cruise the fishing
grounds, on the alert for illegal fish
ing.
American fishermen have been per-
mitted for some years past to fish in
Canadian waters on the payment of a
license fee, and it is declared that I'M
der these privileges much of the Cana
dian catch has in reality been landed by
Americans. The problem of the Cana
dian authorities has been to keep an
eye out for unlicensed fishermen. That
the matter of an uncertain boundary
line and an American territory within
convenient reach in any event makes
the problem of the Canadian cruiser a
difficult one, the recent experience with
the Silver Spray will indicate Activity
on both sides is increased by the fact
that the fishing happens TO be best in
the vicinity of the international boun-
dairy line
What is needed is uniformity of laws,

ments and boundary line that is so

making total of $500 that George
will have to pay his late wife in order
to keep within the law. This is the
