These microbes, which are only visible under a. very powerful microscope, are termed protozo- aires, and are invariably found in the blood joints of persons sufiering from rheumatism. While nothing definite has been given out con- Cerning the discovery of theme pecu- liar scintillating bacilli, there is every reason to believe that French medical science is on the verge of another scientific victory. ‘ Potaboes~0ntario potatoes. 75¢ per bag; car lots. 650; New Brunswioks, 900 per bag; out of store, 800 in car lots; Virginia, new. $3225 per barrel. ‘ Smoked and dry salted meatsâ€"Rollsâ€" Smoked, 161-2c; hams. medium. 210; heavy, 190 m 209; breakfast bacon, 21c; long clear Poultry~Fresh-killed fowl, Me to 190 per pound; five fowl, 140 to 15c; dressed spring chickens 240 to 250; live, 18:: to 190; ducks, 139 to 14¢; tprkeya, 18c to 200.

The Band of the Irish Guards, who feature the music at the Cana- dian N altional Exhibition at Toronâ€" to this year, need no introduction to Canadian music lovers. They were brought over to the Canadian National Exhibition in 1905, and so enthusiastically were they received that it was decided to tour them from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The tour was carried out and its success marked the Irish Guards as the most popular of the splendid British Military Bands that have on Wednesday, and made a, bold dash for liberty. Several police- men and detectives dashed after them, and they Were recaptured Wit-hiqhfive minutes. They were re- manded for a week, and the police will look up their records.

Light Winds and steady, bright sunshine, with fairly high temperatures, followed the heavy rains of the previous week. The whole Province has.now had from eight to ten days of this ideal wea- ther, and growth and ripening have been remarkably fast} This is par- ticularly true of southern Meni- toba, which had suffered severely from drought and cold. The recov- ery throughout the southern part of the Province is such as has rareâ€"1 1y been seen. So far there is very little trace of smut and none at all of rust.
