Live stock Was Cheap in 1894.

The increased cost of living, though
the increase is by no means so great
as we might have expected, lends an
interest to a volume just issued by
the Pipe Roll society. From the in
PRODUCTION one gathers an idea of
prices in 1894. Certain land was to
be stocked and a price for each class
of stock was fixed. Oxen figure at
four shillings, cows shilling less.
Farm horses were also four shillings
a head, pigs were shilling, and sheep
stood at sixpence. Incidentally the
book proves the antiquity of the ia
miliar fine of 40 shillings, for it re-
cords its imposition as long ago as

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid trou-
bles bring misery to many. When
the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse
the blood sufficiently, and the poisons
are carried to all parts of the body.
There follow depression, aches and
pains, heaviness, drowsiness. irrita-
bility, headaches, chiliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
bladder disorders and sometimes obsti-
nate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones.

Wearisome, homesick feelings
should never be indulged in by those
who look on with eyes that pretend
to know it all. Girls are not inclined
to picture disappointments when love

anticipation that all will go well from

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported Of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti.
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There Is no
portion of that great west of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out of this years crop of
oats. No doubt. others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as well.
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton
mage of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. p. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $762,00O over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. p. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only $35 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The c. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day. a new record. The
G. T. r. and the c. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo of
476,3l5 bushels. a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
of the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from. the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad.

Sad Pleasure.

A minister who had resigned from
his church was making his farewell
calls. He called at the home of one
of his pensioners who sent her lit
tie girl down to the parlor to en-
tertain the minister for few min
utes, the mother not being dressed to
receive him. After a few of the Gus
tomary remarks about the weather the
little girl said to the minister:
Il hear that we are to have the
sad pleasure of losing you.'

A HAND, NOT HEART, GIVEN.

Love comes to some with smiling eyes.
And comes with tears to some:
For some Love sings, for some Love
SighS.
For some Loves lips are dumb.
1t is Just and understood that a
man should contemplate marriage
when he meets the right girl that ap-
peals to him. But before he takes her
for his bride. it is well that he should
fully realize if she is marrying him
for the sake of ease, fine home and
has in her mind that he shall accu.
mulate wealth.
If the lover is wise and far-seeing,
he will try his best to find out wheth-
er the coming. union il to be one of
pure devotion-an even exchange OF
hearts. When he is ready to give up
his cozy, but small, bedroom at
boarding place that has made him
feel at home for years, and take up
the responsibility of home fitting. he
considers that he and she will both
be benefited by the union.
The temptation comes to him to ex.
pend all that he possibly can, and he
often overstcps what he can afford,
working early and late that the shell
tering roof may please the woman of
his choice.
Most men are martyrs by choice to
their family's wants. They do not
mind how much they have to curtail,
what inconvenience. nay, downright
sacrifices they have to make SO long
as their loved ones are enjoying pleas
ure. happiness and contentment.
But if the wife is never satisfied
unless packing her trunk for an out
ing, or visit here and there, it is not
great while until the rueful husband
will be practically homeless Friends
quietly make her understand that it
appears heartless and tritle selfish
to leave husband by himself often,
when he is in need of home com
forts. One of her welded girl chums
writes her few lines in a letter tell
ing how happy her experience of just
a few years of matrimony has turned
out to be. Il have my hubbys per-
mission to go away quite often" she
concludes. but it does not seem right
to leave a man to the temptations Of
gay life, with no one about to guard
him against unwise influences.
This wife struck against the rock
which has ruined full many happy
home. When woman is run down in
health, or has children who would be
greatly benefited by a change of air
that might prevent sickness, we all
know the course she adopts in leav-
ing her hearthstone a little while is
eminently praiseworthy.
But the woman who has little to oc-
cupy her attention, month in and
month out, except to go to euchre
clubs and matinees to kill time in the
pursuit of pleasure, while the husband
is shaving away to make money for
her maintenance has little ii any need
for recreation. Pleasures of this kind
turn at last into scoUrges OF dissatis-
faction, which lash after time.
Plainly it can be supposed that she
had given her hand and not ner heart.
