fore Justice Stafford this morning to
say that he would like TO postpone In

one can but attribute the breaks that
have occurred in New York Central. in

While it is we'll to heed every word
Of caution from the leaders in COM
MERGE and finance, and to avoid all
speculative ventures that lack solid
business foundation, it is clearly evil
dent that there is no conspicuous weak
spot in Canada's present era of pros
perity. The Toronto Globe says: The
Dominion has in a commercial sense
plenty of money. and our leading flnan-
cial institutions are in a position to
lend freely in the United States. The
chief productive enterprises of Canada
are not buoyed up by an era of danger
Gus speculation. but are following sub
stantial business methods and finding
safe and continuous markets for their
goods We are not holstering up any
industries by extensive export bonuses
that must impoyerish the people as
! whole aud ultimately lead to collapse
through the failure of the artificial aid.
There is no extreme protection in Can
ada such as would create great for
tunes for q few at the expense of the
general public and lead to disruption
and catastrophe.
THE prosperity of Canada has no
such artificial foundation. being based
on a healthy and substantial expansion
of trade and industry. with proper
tionatc extension of productive settle
ment 10 new areas.
lit is true that we are borrowing
extensively for railway construction,
bu, every line will bring new territory
within the limits of profitable occupa-
ton. and will create prosperous settle

mineral resources for it is quite rea-
sonablc to assume that. although min
eral wealth is never permanent. ours
will during the measurable future de-
velop far greater productive capac-
ity than at present. Our timber wealth
can be- made continuous by Il judicious
policy. And agriculture. tho real foun
dation OF our prosperity, is expanding
with every new expenditure on railway
construction. We are not in the flust
OF n railway mania that could bring
its punishment through the useless du
plicaton of lines. The gigantic rail
way enterprises that now stimulate CIV
cry line OF business in Canada Will
create new Dominion. and thus rem
der easy the heavy burdens OF deb

Germans Give Warnings Against Keep

Germany has found IL peril In apples
They are the principal medium for the
propagation and spread Of the destructive
house moth tGlycypllagus domest.cus) ac-
cording to observations recently made
The discovery was the result of a plague
of moths at Cries and the villages sur
rounding 1t. The larvae were traced to
the stores of apples kept in the houses and
thence to the trees themselves.
The larvae are found first of all In the
apple blossoms. AS the fruit grows they
cluster in the conical depression about the
stem of the apple.
When the fruit is taken into the house st
is laden with the eggs. The propagation
of the eggs Is said to be prodigious
When the fruit Is taken into tho house
the eggs find their way into clothing,

ture and he insect is hatchcd out. with

are also said to be the cause of the white
nothing that is so often noticed on dried
fruit.
As Il result of the discoveries II Is urged
that apples never be taken into dwellings
without careful cleansing, and even then
they should never be kept In living rooms,
and the pecings should be promptly re-
moved.
