The negotiations which are reported for the purchase of the Beaver Line by the Canadian Pacific Railway are chiefly of interest because they ero a step forward to- wards the point at which Canada can become the great highway between the West of Europe and the East of Asia. None of the steamers of the Beaver Line are of sufficient speed to take their places in a line of fast passenger and mail atcamera botweon Canada and the United Kingdom, but they are good examples of the class which is known on the Atlantic as intermediate steamers, and by employing-them to carry freight and passengers who do not wish to pay high fares for express speed the Canadian Pacific hag its hands free to organise a line of steamers with a speed of twenty knots or more to perform the

Soon after their steamers of the Empress Line began to run between Japan and Vancou ver, but the voyage could be done in shor- ter time now, for the nails in 1891 were sont round by New York, and it took seven days from the time they were put on board of the City of New York at New York till they were delivered in London.

UNCLAIMED TREASURES. There is no lack of treasures in the world; the trouble is that they are all claimed; or if indeed there be any unclaimed (and surely there must be soure sach, they are so difficult to find that for the rank and file of mankind they might as well be among the claimed treasures, or not exist at all. That was a delightful com- pliment which Charles Reade paid to old muids when he called them unclained treasure. Becange a thing is unclaimed or rejected by no means implies its worthlessness, A goodly proportion of the master-pieces of literature have been rojected by publishers, Thackeray's incomparable Vanity Fair among the number. The only positive proof of anything being a treasure is it having stood the time test. For thousands of yours gold has everywhere been regarded as Valuable, and people never arcmed less inclined to go back on that opinion than they do to-day, For thirty-four years Mother Selgol's Curative Syrup has been the most popaler medicine. Not a year passes without a large extension of its saler, nor a day without volanta- ry testimony as to its power for good. It is a treasure, but by no means an unclaimed one, On the contrary, it is claimed as the family medicine in six hundred thousand (600,000) British homes. There is no matter for wonder in these figures, great as they are when the benefit which it confers is more often than not fully as great as that described in the following legally sworn declaration :---

I, John Boddy Mintoft of Nunnington, in the county of Yorkshire, do solemnly and sincerely eclare as follows:-

That in spite of skilled medical aid I was for many years a marter to indigestion and a strangely disordered stomach, and that had it not been for Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup I doubt whether I should be alivo to-day. For a year or two before I broke down. I never knew what it was to have a day's good health. I was always ailing. The least exortion tired me, and I felt drowsy, despondent, and miserable. Ordinarily. I had a very good appelite ut jus! then my food began to disagree with me, nud I felt uncomfortable after it. a fulness and distension of the There was stomach that seemed to affect the heart. My breath was very short. Finally, a pain settled in the chest and under the left shoulder. I ought to have attended it to. at once; but un. forinnately neglected to do so, consequently the disne developed. I had always an unpleasant taste in the month, and my tongue was dry | and parched. My appetite, Litherto good, was now very poor, and after forcing myself to eat I often had violent pains in the stomach, and used to breakout into a celd perspiration, feel. ing so chilled that I shivered from head to font. My condition becoming so serious. I consulted a doctor; but in spite of all he did for me I grew worse, and at the end of six weeks was advised to go into a hospital at York. There I was treated with great kindness, but I think my case must have puzzled the doctors for, after detaining me cleven weeks they sent mo away uncured Then began the most painful period of my illness. When I got home my mother was She has since said shocked at my appearance.

that she believed I had come home to die. I was troubled with obstiunte constipation, my sleep was broken, and when I lay awako it seemed as if the bet were sinking under me. Night wants robled me of the little strength I Ind left, and I was soon so weak that I could carcely walk across the room. To po upstairs, I had to crawl on my hands and knees, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that I got down to the zofa again next day. Thus I was for three years a confirmed invalid. Meanwhile, I had seen a specialist whose treatment seemed

to do run good at first; but in the end I found Almost in despair, and myself as bad as over.

a last resource. I tried Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Ah, if only I had tried it before I began to mend na scon as i had taken half of the first bottle. My appetite improved, slightly it is true; but what I ate agreed with me.The night sweats ceased, and gradually strength returned, so that by the nid of a walking stick I could get about. My con- valescence was a long one, but by persevering with the Syrup, all the lid symptoms left me, and I was able to resume my work again. My present employment is a very arduons one, compelling me to expose myself to all kinds of weathers; still, I feel none the worse for it. Believing that it may benefit some other sufferer, I regard it as my duty to make these facis known. And I make this solemn declaration conscientionaly believing the same to be true.
