Tuberculosis, or con- sumption, gaimed about nine thousand victims in Capuda last year. Ah, yes,' vou say, "but that merciless dis- case has been, over and over again, pronounced incurable by the best doc tors, and this being the case we are &elpless to prevent it." In reply we fall by the statement, that four cases out of every five of the above number could be entirely prevented by thé use of Psychine, and a very large percent. age of the other one-fifth could be cuted by proper treatment and the use of Psychine. - Probably every instance of these pine thousand cases started with a slight neglected cold or cough, or an attack of la grippe, pneumonia, catarrh, or some thoroughly control- able and curable trouble, or some run- down eondition that could have been autickly and ecrtainly oured in the early stages hy Psychine, and in many cases could have been' entirely prevented by its use. Probably no remedy in the wotld has ever made such a record for itself in the prevention and cure of all throat, lung and stomach troubles as Psychine. Many of the best physicians whose love of humanity and earnest desire to see genuine cures effected is strong enough to overcome their some- what natural prejudice against patent or proprietary medicines, are regularly prescribing Psychine in their practice. "I cannot praisé Psychine too highly. It has proved a Godsend to me. Af- ter taking Psychine a few days my chronic bronchial cough left me, and the soreness in my lungs disappeared. I continued' the treatment for ome month. My flesh and strength quickly returned, and again I felt the luxury -of being at my best, able to enioy life to the fullest extent. I am glad to state mv recovery has been per- manent. My sleep and appetite are splendid." "MRS. ED. BADGLEY, Bloomfield, Ont." "These are the kind of letters we are daily receiving.

The only { requirement, either express or implied, | then generally made upon railways was {that they should furnish good service {at reasonable rates. Nobody ques tioned that, having done this, they would be entitled to earn as large profits as other enterprises in which private capital was embarked, The day of the cash bonus and the land grant has long since passed, but the policy of imposing few. legal re- strictions upon the carriers has been pretty steadily pursued up to recemt years, except at the time of the Gran ger propaganda thirty years ago, which resulted so disastrously for both railways and public. What have been the results of this liberal policy ? The mileage of Ame- rican railways, fifty-seven years ago, the vear ended June 30th, 1905, as as already stated, was 9,021 miles. Xs shown by the report of the interstate commerce commission for that year, the last complete statistical report published, it was 216,973 miles. The mileage of the whole of Europe in 1904 .was less than 190,000 miles. The railway miltage per square mile of the United States is forty-seven per cent. greater than that of Europe and in proportion to population is five times as great. The average freight rate per ton per mile in the United States declined from about 2.62 cents per mile in 1870 to .766 of a cent in 1905, or seventy per cent. Making full allowance for differences in fonditions, freight rates in this country are by far the lowest in the world. While the average rate per ton per mile in the United States is .766 in Hungary it is 1.16 cents, Austria 1.40 cents, in France, 1.33 and in the United Kingdom 2 of a cent, in | senger fares are higher here than jin Europe, but the difference is more than offset by the greater density of population, and the consequent great or density of passenger traffie, in Europe. The foregoing f indicate the abi: lity and enterprise--an ability and enterprise never surpassed --which the and managers of American railways have shown in keeping their tract to give the public good transportation service at reasonable rates. What success have railway owners had in reaping the substan- owners tinl profits which they understood when they made their investments that they were to be permitted to receive ? The prevalent belief is that invest- ments in railwave have been highly profitable. The facts demonstrate that this is a popular delusion. The history of the American railway sys tem is largely one of heavy losses, bankruptcies and receiverships. To take a single period as illustrative of what has taken place, during the cichteen months ending July Ist, 1994, 43,000 miles of railway--24 per omt. of the then total mileage of the countfy=passed into the hands of re ceivers, and between November, 1993, miles of railways in the hands of re and November, 1296, the number of ceivers was at no time less than 20.- 000, the maximum number at any one time being 36619. The experience of the railways was similar in the busi- ness depressions of 1873 to 1880 and 1885 tn 1887. Leaving out all duplications of capital, the net capitalization of the railways of the United States for the vear ended June 30th, 1905, as shown by the report of the interstate com- merce commission, was £11,167,106.902 an average of $53000 per mile. This was the most prosperous year in the history of the railways of the United States up to that time, yet the total .mount paid in that year as interest on bonds and dividends on stock was but $95,431,435, or an average of only 4.4 per cent. on the actual net capitalization.

The natoral expectation of one who had for the first time been informed of the fore- going facts would be to find the fair minded of the United States the ardent admirers of their trans. portation system and its stout de fenders agafnst attacks from whatever source. What he actanlly would find, how- ever, is a press, a people and public officials of high and*low degree whose attitude toward the railways is one of the greatest hostility and who are violently clamorous for legislation eal- culated to restrict 'within narrow bounds the freedom of action of rail- way officials and to effect reductions in the passenger and freight rates of railways which would greatly reduce, or even entirely Wipe out, their al- ready extremely modest average 'pro- fits. The prevalent agitation against the railways does met reflect the sober common sense and 'judgment of the American people. It shows ignorance or disregard of actus] trensportation and industrial conditions if persisted in it must do great injury and injns- tice to railway stockholders by depriv- ing them of the fair return upon their investment which they confidently re lied upon 'the state and national gov- ernments to permit them 'to receive when they put their money into rail- wav property. ; i The agitation is no less inexvedient from the standpoint of the shipping and consnming public Capitalists will not continue forever to put their money into railways in the mere hope of elugive future profits, as recent violent declines in the prices of rail- way securities indicate, The snu-eaflway campaign, if much Jenaer kent un. will render it impossi- ble for the railways either to earn or to raise the money necessary to in- crease their facilities for handling the country's traffic. But unless the rail- wavs are enabled rapidly to increase their facilities the congestion of traf- fic will continue and crow worse, un- til -the heavy hand of. industrial par- alysis will fall upon the business of aericulture, of fnannfacture, and every other business in this-country.

Snake Fighters. Last year men, women and children great, wpon every who met a terrible death in India from the bite of poisonous snakes were 25.837, besides 4,500 killed by wild animals--chiefly tigers, aml 66, 000 cattle. Every conceivabie mea sure has been taken to mitigate this appalling annual destruction, but witht litthe avail. So writes W. F. Fita- Gerald, in The Technical World Maga- zine. The venomous snakes may be placed in order : First, the cobra, re sponsible for nearly nime-tenths of the fatalities; then the krait, Kkuppur, Russell's viper, the hamadryas, and Roj-samp. The water-snakes kill a good many, but they are compara- tively rare. Organized warfare is waged uppn India's myriads of rep- tiles, and in each district a regular head tax is paid upon each cobra and other snake killed. Last year the number of snakes destroyed was 762,- 211, for which rewards amounting to nearly 57,000 rupecs were paid. Beetles are the most widely spread of all insects. Spitzbergen is almost the only known land where they are not found. SE IE I I -- $100 REWARD, $100.
