IN GENERAL.

Charles M. Schwab had good luck after several losses at Monte Carlo. The statistician of the Department of Agriculture in Washington estimates the average yield per acre of wheat In the United States in 1901 at 14.8 bushels, ns compared with 13.3 bushels, the meau of the averuges of the last ten years. Kir Wilfred I.nurier, the Canadian premier, received a cable dispntch saying that It. R. Dobell, a member of the dominion cabinet without portfolio, had been killed at Folkestone, England. He was thrown from a horse which he was riding. Gas was struck in a well which was being bored for snlt at the Cleveland and Sarnia Sawmill Company’s plant in Sarnia, Ont.

A. Grand Report from Hie Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth, England, Where Upwards of 10,000 Men Are' Constantly Employed. —. We have now further evidence es the Intrinsic value of St. Jacobs Oil as a palm conqueror. Our readers will do well te follow the intelligeat and highly inter* eating details aa given in Mrs. Rabbets’ewn words: “To the Proprietors, St. Jacobs Oil: Gentlemen—My husband, who Is a shipwright in Hla Majesty’s Dockyard, met wltfr an accident to hi#|fokle and leg, spraining both so badly that his leg turned black from his knee to his toes. The doctor said it would be months before he could put his foot to the ground, and It tvas doubtful whether he would ever get proper use of hia leg again. ‘ A few days after the accident I had a book left at the door telling about St. Jacobs Oil, so I procured a bottle from our chemist, Mr. Arthur .Creswell, 879 Cotnmercjal road. I began to use St. Jacobs Oii, and you may guess my surprise when in a week my husband could not only stand but could walk about, and in three weeks he was back at work, and everybody talking about hia wonderful recovery. Seeing what St. Jacobs Oil could jjo gave me faith in your Vogeler’s Curative Compound, which I determined to try on my little girl, who was suffering from a dreadful skm disease. “She has taken two bottles of Voge» ler’a, and one would now hardly take her for the same child, her skin has got such t nice healthy color after the sallow look the has always had. “I shall never cease to be thankful for the Immense benefit we have derived from these two great remedies of vours. “ELIZABETH S. RABBETS, "93 Grafton Street, Mile End, Landport, (A liberal free sample of Vogeler'a Compound will be sent by addressing St Jacobs Oil. Ltd., Baltimore.) The above honest, straightforward statement of Mrs. Rabbets’ evidence is stronger and far more convincing than sages of paid advertisements, which lack that convincing proof which Mrs. Rabbets’ description of her own experience supplies. St. Jacobs Oil has a larger sale throughout the world than that of all other remedies for outward application combined.
