UPTON'S TEA Over 2 Million Packages Sold Weekly, BOOM IN OCEAN TBAFFIC Eighty Liners Have Already Arrived in Montreal This Season A despatch from Montreal says: Since navigation opened on tho St. Lawrence River for the season of lau no less than eighty ocean-going vessels and upwards of 700 lake â- teamers, canal boats and barges, have usi'd the harbor each for tlio embarking or discharging of passen- gers or general cargo. The total •hipments carried away by vessels bound from Montreal to other points has increased all round by at least 50 per cent. The eighty ocean-going steamers "which have come up to Montreal iwithin the past five weeks have brought to this country fully 55,000 passengers. Assuming that ten per oent. of this number represented re- turning Canadian!), transient Eng- lish risitora and Americans passing through, it is saft to say that the stream of new arrivals coming into the country via the St. Lawrence route has averaged 10,000 weekly. Last season the arrival in one week of 5,000 or U,000 was considered ex- cellent. Strings of vessels coming down the canal from Fort William, Port Artluir and Kingston are filled up to tiie hatchways with grain and merohandise, while boats coming from Chicago have carried on a single trip as much as 125,000 bush- els of grain. Cargoes of 50 000 and 75,000 bushels are of common occur- rence. Ml^tZLE ALL DOGS. Board of Health May A^ain Order That Cuniiies be Chained. A despatch from Toronto says : iWith the approach of the hot wea- ther and the consequent danger of rabie» in cases wnere people are bitten by dogs, it is very probable that the Provincial Board of Health will again order that all dogs in khe province must be muzzled dur- ing the summer months. Already aevcral cases of dog bites have been reported, and as there were BO few cases reported last summer iwhen all dogs were muzzled, it is expected that a similar order will be issued shortly. Orders already bave been is.sued that all dogs in flcarboro Township must be kept "on chain" for ten days as a re- sult of a bite inflicted by an ani- knal on Gordon Henderson at l&gincourt.
