COLBORNE. JUNE 25th, 1903. CANADA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Y AND FISHERIES OF THAT COUNTRY TO HAVE LARGE REPRESENTATION. By Louis Larive. St. Louis, Mo.--" Canada will take part in the Louisiana Purchase Ex position as a nation." Such was the answer given by Sir Wilfred Laurier, of Canada, from iiis seat in the House of Commons, to an inquiry made tho government by one of the Canadian members of parliament. The great "silver tongued" n Canada meant what he said. The news just received from Ottawa, the seat of the Canadian government is to the effect that extensive preparations are being made to show to the world the immense resources possessed by tho neighbors to the north. Canada has grown and prospered wonderfully during the last decade. Its trade has increased to e proportions. Its crops have been such as to merit for Canada abroad the title of "granary of the world' Its mines and ore fields, particularly those of Nova Scotia and Cape Breton have been developed in such a way as to set dreaming the most pessimistic and it is now generally conceded that the finest jewel of Great Britain' crown can more than supply its home market for minerals while it exports annnally millions worth of grain, fish, lumber and timber. Of the industries based upon uatural resources the fisheries rank second in Canada. This country has over 5600 miles of sea coast, in addition to inland seas, innumerable lakes and a great number of rivers. The The exports of the^fisherv products 1897 amounted to $22,783,546. The home consumption is estimated at a value of $15,000,000, giving a total yield from th<> fisheries of nearly $38,000,000 annually, exclusive of the The sea. inshore and inland fisheries of Canada furnish cod, mackerel, haddock, halibut, herring, hake, salmon, shad, alewives, stripod bass, smelt, lake io.it, pike, eels; and gold-eye, besides oysters, lobsters, seals, whales and walrus The lichee; whaling regions in the world are said to exist in the Hudson Bay and Arctic regions of Canada. The Pacific coast fisheries furnish halibut, black cod, oulachan, anchovy, herring, smelt, and many species of salmon and trout. The salmon of _ Britislvi'olumbia are worth over $5,000,000 annually, and the total "yield of the fisheries of that province exceeds $6,000,000.' Lumbering ranks third among the extractive industries of Canada and the forest wealth is very great. It is stated that 123 species of trees grow in that country, 94 occuriug east of the llocky Mountains, and 29 on the Pacific coast, foe forest belt extends a distance ot about 4,000 miles east and west, with a breadth of some 700 miles. The trees consist principally of the following species: black and white spruce, banksian pine, white pine, red pine, larch, balsam fir, bal-soin poplar, aspen, canoe birch, bird cherry, white cedar, black ash and mountain ash occur sparingly iu the southern part of this belt. British Columbia is thought to possess the greatest compact reserve of timber in the world. The wooded area is estimated at 285,000 square miles and includes many kinds of timber. The Douglas spruce is the show tree of British Columbia and indeed of Canada. The forests of Canada contain pine, spruce, hemlock, oak, elm, maple, beech, birch, butternut, hickory, bass wood, etc. Nearly 38% of its whole area is forested. In 1899 the capital invested in the Dulp mills of Canada alone was about $15,000,000. The capacity of the mills was over 1200 tons per day. The value of the forest products ex ported iu 1901 was nearly $33,000,000, and their total must have been at least three times that amount. It will readily be seen that indeed Canada has something to show and she intends to-spring a universal surprize next-"-car. Mr. William Hutchison,'Canadian Exposition Comissioner is just back in Ottawa from Japan, wlteie he represented his country at the Osaka Exposition. Mr. Hutchinson's trip to Japan is certain to be of considerable future benefit to Canada and already trial shipments of wheat and flour have been made to the far east country just visited by him. The" Canadian Comissioner is now actively engaged in making preparations for the Wot his Fair-at St. Louis. On his way home, from Vancouver to Ottawa he made preliminary arrangements for a thoroughly representative exhibit of the timbei, fisheries and miniug industries of Canada, British Columbia will furnish the forest 'nonster tinti an effort will be made to obtain the largest and lougset piece of Douglas fir ever shown. The salmon canning industry of the Pacific Coast and the uumberk-cs kinds of fish from the Maritiue Pro Tiuces will be well represented at the exposition in St. Louis. Canada is •econd to none in her uatural resources and her showing of next year will well prove it. AFTER OTHER HELP FAILED. DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS RESTORE A TOUNG LADY TO FULL HEALTH AND STRENGTH. Doctors and nurses recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills because they have seen their wonderful power to make new, rich, red blood and to cure all diseases due to poor blood or weak nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not a common medicine They do not purge and weaken. They contain no poisonous drugs. They are safe, sure, simple, stimulating and scientific. That is why these pills should be taken by all who are weak, bloodlt nerveless and sickly. Here is a bit of very positive proof of the wonderful power to conquer disease which Dr Williams' Pink Pills possess; Misf Esther E. Lewis, Lynn, N. S., says:-"At the age of sixteen niv health failed me completely. At that time I was attacked by la grippe, which was fol lowed by measles,!'rum the after effect! ot which 1 was left in a deplorable con ditiou. I became very pale, suffered from headaches, dizziness and war ' of appetite. I tried several medicint but they did me no good; on the coi trary I was growing weaker and finally became so bad that I would take spelli of unconsciousness lasting from fifteen minutes to an hour at a time, am' had become so weak that I could hardly move about. At this staj^ was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I have good reason to bless the day I began their use. I had only taken them a few weeks when I began to recover and under their continued use for some time longer I fully gained my former good health, will be glad if my experience will be of benefit to some other poor suffer* When buying thcTprlls see that the full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale people" is printed on wrapper around each box.

Judged--- of Boston, who is a great fisherman, for some years past had been in the habit of bringing back from Newfoundland, the scene of his piscatorial labors, such marvelous stories of his catches that his friends grew more and more skeptical. The judge, in order to remove all doubts about his honesty, finally procured a set of special s^ahw and triumphantly weighed all the fish he caught, and for his friends' inspection kept the record thus accurately mode. Recently, while the judge whs away from home, there was an addition to his family. The judge'* scales weie used, and they recorded the baby's weight as forty-eight pounds. One day the late Thomas Brackett Heed was browsing in Guild's dingy bookshop. He took up a number of hooks and finally the novel "Scrtr Ics." -What is the price of this?" asked Mr. Reed. "A dollar, sir," replied the old mani rather tartly. "Too much," said Iteedf laconically, andflaid the book e)own. "Well, sir," retorted Guild, who has a sharp tongue of his own, "1 don't know if any law you have passed that compels on to buy if you don't want to. Be-ides, I don't see what a member of ongrees wants of a book with that title, anyway." Reed broke into a hearty laugh, and as he rolled on down the avenue he was still s-.iling at the old man's reply. Senator Quay, while dining at a country hotel, noticed among the signs on the wall one reading "lei on parle F The what amused and surprised. b< cessity of being able to speas ricm.ii i-that particular section of rural Pen-eylvania had never before appealed ti. him. Therefore he called the proprietor to him, and said, "Bo you speak French?" "Not much," was the answer. "United States will do for me." "Then why do you have that sign stuck up here? It means that Fren ;h is spoken here." "Ye dont say so!" replied the astonished publican. 'Til be hanged if I didn't buy that -from a young feller who told me that it meant 'God Bless Our HomeP" In the middle of the third act of a recent first night in Australia, a gentleman arose in the front row of the gallery and remarked: "This is a bad play, and the acting is even worse than the phiy.u The leading actor came to the footlights and retorted: "You've no right to interrupt. If you don't like it, go otrtside." "Excuse me," rejoined the malcontent, "I have the right to criticize what I have paid for. If I buy a pound of butter and find it is bad, I say so. I have bought a shilling's worth of this show, and it is an imposition. I want my money back." At this point a stalwart attendant interposed, and smashing of furniture ensued. Eventually the champion of playgoers' rights emerged triumphant from the fray. Holding a shilling on high, he exclaimed: "Hft^aU right 1 I've get my money baekl tM play can now proceed 1" REXALL H„°ouLsDE- DYES These dyes will dye wool, cotton, silk, jute or mixed goods in oue bath.
