Wit $ttte*p*fei. COLBORNE. APRIL 16th., 1903. The tremendous inflow of population into the West is the greatest fact of the present crntury, so far as Canada is concerned. During March 12,267 settlers entered western Canada through Coutes, Emerson, Portal and Winnipeg, the largest number yet recorded for March, and 70 per cent, in excess of the arrivals for March of last year. So great is the rush that tho ordinary accommodation has proved insufficient, and the Militia Department has been forced to send sufficient tents to provide protection for 15-00 people. The settlers are conriug from all quarters of the world, and a dozen strange tongues may be heard as each train load de posits its burden at Winnipeg. Roumanians Alsatiats, Austrians, Hungarians, Swedes, and Servians which are all pouring in together. Included in one recent list of arrivals, there was, says the Globe's staff correspondent, a small colony of Nestorians, herdsmen from the nioun tains of Persia, olive-skinned, dark-eyed nervous little people with quick, active gesture*; IN THE SPRING. A LESSON THAT TIEED MEN AND WOMEN SHOULD FOLLOW. The spring is the season when nature prepares for summer. All the trees and plants are filled with new sap to build and brace theur up to withstand the coming hot season. Without new sap in the spring a plant would wither and die beneath the midsummer sun. It is the same with men and women. All physicians are agreed that everyone needs a fresh supply of new blood in the spring of the year. Without the new blood you would be as helpless iu the suui- W'hat you need at this season is a tonic to give you new blood, and the very best tonic medicine science has discovered is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Every pill makes new. rich, red blood Curious Bits of New*. Professor D. J. Cunningham, F.E.S., i a discourse on giants at the Royal Du! lin Society, said that though a disti.". guished French Academician reckoned that Adam was 123 feet in height, an, Eve 118 feet, and though in mediaeval times there was a general opinion that giant was a person about nine feet high he did not consider there was any conclusive evidence to show ti!i!t the human stature had ever exceeded eight feet. Statistics in the "Lancet" show that twins ar- as one in eighty births. Ol triplets .acre is only one instance in 0,400 which justified a claim on the "Nine's hountv;" and quadruplets are as one to 512.buu; while the chances <-a quintette are even more remote, the ratio being one in 40,980,000 births. The figures are grateful and comforting, although the "Lancet" goes on to ™|n:ti°,; husband with seven successive triplets.

Theirs is the language which their priests claim was that used in the earliest period of human history, the language in which Adam spake to Shem and and Lamech, and by Shem to Abraham and Isaac. The words "Talitha eumi," spoken by the Saviour, Lave exactly the same meaning in the speech of these people to-day, and they firmly believe that they have the very language spoken by Adam, written by the Angel in the, wall of the banfl.net room at Bel-sbaemU'i IVast, and spoken by Christ during His Koujouru on earth. Hut these peopl" from strange lands do not come alone. Mixed with them are crofters from Scotland,tenant farmers and laborers from England, and farmers and farmers' sons from Ontario and the United States. In one day 2,000 settlers passed through St. Paul en route to the North West, and 70 car loads of settlers' effects left Wheaton, Minn., in one week for the Englishmen who "want to learn farming" are there too. One of these was placed on a farm the other day, but a few days Jater turned up at the immigration office, asking for a new place. On being asked for an explanation of his reason for jumping his job lie said: "That man (the farmer with whom Le had engaged) awakened me before d'y," returned the Englishman, excitedly. " ' E awakened me from my slumbers before d'y and 'e took me to the barn with a lamp, and 'e asked me to lead a blawsted bull to water in the dawk." The particular part of this, immigra- expected is that which ovves its origin to Rev. Mr. Barr, of England. Mr. Barr has organized a wholesale immigration scheme from Great Britain and 1964 immigrants sent out by him arrived at St. John Saturday and are now on their way by special trains to the Northwest, where a large tract of land has been set apart tor them. The party,large a.s it is.is merely the advance guard and it is predicted by-one of the leaders in the party that next March 10,000 Barr Colonists will come out. "The eyes of the world," he says, "are on this advance guard and all England is to-day sounding with praises of the possibilities agricultural Canada offers intending settlers. The greatest exodus in the history of the Mother Country is about commencing." These new comers are said to be splendid class, just :he sort of colonists Canada is looking for. The Barr company is not in charge of all the immigrants who are coming from the Motherland. There is a great independantjniovoinents as well. Eight hundred and fifti en immigrants arrived Monday, and they were almost all English or Scotchmen, aud were not connected with the Barr move- Prof. J. H.

For several years I was a great sufferer from kidney .disease, and had pains in my back almost constantly. I tried a great many remedies, but did not succeed in obtaining more than slight temporary relief. " A friend of mine advised me to try Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills, and I did so, with great satisfaction. I had not taken half a box before I began to feel better, and now realize that I have entirely recovered. I often wonder now why people go after new-fangled remedies when this tried and proven medicine is so easily obtained, and so certain to cure."
