Tho Victory Of Qu,nine.
From Harper's Weekly.

In 1882. when the French were con
Quoting a campaign of conquest in AL
geria, the mortality among the troops
n colonists there was frightful.
France was being continually called
upon for fresh levies Of men and
youths to supply this terrible loss,
chiefly from eve incidental to the
climate.
At that time the practice of bleed
ing still prevailed. BLEED them till
they are white" was the injunction
which Brousais. the head physician of
when the condition of the soldiers was
reported to him.
AT Bone, In year. out Of an eff
fective force Of $500 men. 1,100 died Of
illness in the hospital. Most of them
had been 'bled to the white"
At this time the effects of sulphate
of Quinine were known. but few ply
sicians ventured to employ it. One
Maillott. had interested himself in the
new remedy, and, going to Bone in the
medical service of the government, he
resolved to see If it would not reduce
the frigntful mortality, which was one
to every three and one-half men who
entered the hospital.
At first he employed the uuinine
merely as an adjunct to the bleeding.
He soon found that bleeding vas kill
ing the men, n that quinine was
saving them. Little by little he left
off bleeding, to the great scandal Of
the medical profession.
Exactly in proportion as the bleeding
ceased, the deaths in the hospital de-
creased. In two years the deaths fell
off from in three and a half, of all
who entered the hospital, to one in
90, and finally to one in as.

came an earnest opponent of bleeding;

lot saw the complete triumph of his
ideas. Doctors continued to bleed their
patients heartily for all manner of ills
But in 1850 Maillot was made COM
mander of the Legion of Honor and.
chief of the medical staff Of the French
Army, and his influence. with others,
in bringing about a virtual revolution
in h practice of medicine. was fully

The objection hat this arrangement
Is going to deficit trade from Canad-
channels into American channels is
to be discussed from two points of
view; from the point of view of the
goods going from Canada into the
United States for the purpose of being
carried over to Great Britain, and the
goods going from Canada to the United
states for consumption in the United
States. Now regarding the first, those
goods sent from canada to the United
States to be carried to Great Britain,
In what way does this arrangement
undo the system now In existence? 1t
does not effect it one iota. At the
present time goods go from Canada to
be shipped from Boston. New York.
or any American port without paying
duty. In the same way American goods
come to Canada to be shipped out by
Montreal, Halifax, or ST. John without
paying duty. A cargo of wheat can
leave Winnipeg for New York and there
be discharged and put on board ship
without duty being demanded. A cargo
OF grain can leave Minneapolis to be
taken to Montreal and shipped thence
without paying duty.
This is by virtue of the bonding
privilege which mas been given by each
government to the other for the purpos-
es of transportation. 1t has been in
existence for something like 60 years,
and I have never heard a complaint that
1T was unfair to one party or to the
other. There was a time when l felt
nervous on reflecting that the bonding
privilege was simply an act of good
will on the part of the United States
towards us. That was the time when
we had no communication on Canadian
soil from sea to sea. But now that we

The Loco Weed.
From Harper's Week.


Loco is a pretty plant with white
purple and red flowers, which grows in
our southwest. 1t takes its name from
a Mexican word meaning mad" In
deed, it is often called the CRAZY
weed" by reason of it's direful effects
upon cattle or horses feeding upon It
to any extent.
At first, the poison is slow in maxi
ing itself felt. The first symptom is
usually a dull, CLASSY expression of the
eye. which gradually dilates and be-
comes finally wild and staring.
If. after this, the animal be left to
Craze on the herb. the symptoms will
become still more pronounced. The
vision becomes impaired, n the VIC
tim develops an aptitude for grotesuue
antics, sometimes rushing madly about.
"A ..locoed" horse will balk, back, rear.
and hurl itself backward, and has the
greatest objection to having its head
touched.
The last and fatal stage Of the dis
ease is a gradual wasting away. Cattle
born on the prairies seem instinctive-
ly to avoid the loco. High grade beasts
most easily fall victims to their par
TALLY for the weed.
a COW from a loco patch to a corral
found that, though the distance was
not over a mile and he had the aid Of
another rider. 1t took two hours and q
half to get the animal to the corral.
The cow ran aimlessly about in a
silly. dazed way until the two men got
their horses close along q side OF,
her. so that she could not turn easily.
Her sight was defective. and she fell
into an irrigation ditch that normally
she could easily have crossed.
Again. coming to q fence pole lying
on the ground, she stopped abruptly
and commenced dancing and plun9ine
in front OF 1t for some minutes; then.
with a great bound. she jumped over II
as IL 1t were two or three feet high.

the people from trading in natural

the people from trading In natural
channels, no amount of legislation will
accomplish that object, but let nature
alone and then h trade will be carried
on on Canadian lines. Why? Because
we have the interior waterways and the
shortest and the better lines. Take the
condition of things today. Winnipeg
a trade with Europe by way OF the
United States. it can trade with Europe
by way Of Canada. The line Of railway
from Winnipeg to Montreal is 1,414
miles, and from Montreal to Liverpool
$50 miles a total of 4.l74 miles: From
Winnipeg to New York, by way of
Minneapolis, Chicago and the American
lines, the distance is 1870 miles. and
from New York to Liverpool 3,O26 miles.
or a total distance OF 1926 miles. The
American line Is 1926 miles. the Cana
dian line is ALA miles, a distance in
favor of the Canadian line of 692 miles.
rs it not obvious that for very self
interest trade will always take The
Canadian line because it is the shorter
n e We have had experience as to
what has happened, and Our experience
has been that our trade over h Cana
dian channels has increased by leaps
and bounds as against the trade by the
American channels. In 1900 the total
amount of h exported from Mon
treal was 100000 bushels: in 1910 it
had increased from 1900, 900 bushels to
IA, 100. 900 bushels. OF American wheat,
the total number Of bushels exported to
and from Montreal in 1900 was 5000, 900
bushels, and in 1911 that had increased
to 10, O0C, 900 bushels. So. therefore,
there is no doubt on this point. the
Canadian line must have the preference
because the Canadian line Is the best
and the shortest.
Canada consumes only SO per cen
of her production Of wheat. Where is
the balance to go? We have the Eng
lish market. The English market is
quite ample enough to TX the surplus
production Of wheat in this country for
many years to come, although we are
sure the production will increase ten
old by and by. But there are other
products h wheat which the British
market annot absorb, or cannot absorb
with the same convenience as the
American market can. We have in the
province of Quebec natural meadows,
which require no tillage, and upon
which the best Of timothy has been
grown, not for so years, but for 100
years. All along the two shores of Lake
st. Peter there are natural meadows, a
few inches only above the level of the
water, which are yearly flooded, and
which. to the knowledge Of every one in

SAVED BY A WONDERFUL PIE

 When I meet my Valentine on the other side, said the marquis, "she will ask, What perfume is that, my dear, which I detect on thy lips 2 And I shall answer, It is the Constance wine, my Valentine that we had saved for our golden wedding"
 Bechamel drank of the wine and his head fell back upon the pillow. All supposed that he was dead, but as a matter of fact he had merely fallen asleep. An hour later he called his nephew and sent him with key to open a drawer in a secretary and bring from it box.
