Mrs. John Riley, Douro, Ont., writes: "I have been a great sufferer from heart and nerve troubles for the past ten years. Afte; trying many remedies, and doctoring for two yeast; without the least benefit, I decided to give Mil - burn's Heart ape. Nerve Pills a trial.

NOTES AND COMMENTS Reviewing ibe result is North Nor folk, the Simcoe R .former says; From the vote of 1903, the Liberal vote in North Norfolk fell off in Middleton, 76; in Windham, 52; in Townsend, 102; in D �ihi, 9; in Waterford, 4; in S,mcoe, 79 Col. Atkinson's defeat was not due to any strength developed by Mr. Ianea. There are still plenty of Liberal' votes in North Norfolk, if gotten to the polls, to win a Liberal maj crity by two hundred. Is is understood that Hon Nelson Monteith will probably retire from the Government as a result of the recent election in South Perth when the Min- ister suffered defeat in a close contest. Mr. Monteith, 1; is said, is desirous of taking his course ander the circum- stances. He has large farming interests of his own, and his personal business baa suffered as a result of his nttention to pnblio duties, It is understood also that i@ is net the policy of the Govern- mentto create vaoan0ies by appoint ment of members, and that it has been deoided not to make an exception to the rule. The Saturday Globe publishes an ex cellent -photo-engraving of Mr. P. H ilelolteeele, M. P., who represents South Bruce and is chairman of the Committee on Agriculture and Colonization. The Globe refers to him as follows: "He is one of the most quietly neefnl of the whole body of parliamentarians. He seldom trespasses os, the time of the House in talking to hansard for cam paign purposes and in this respect sets an example that might well be followed by others who are pahsps more gifted with a time consuming teonndity of words, pomman aortae, integrity and a sincere desire to advance the interests of the country as a whole by facilitating with- out any undue waste Of words the real briefness of Parliament are hie diatin- gnfahing charaoterietfca. Political ex pedienoy takes a second place with him to common sense methods in promoting Kona, and good government." If, as, well defined rumors with a claim of plenty Of authority say-, the defeat of John Auld in South &Kee Vette mane .ed by corrupt practices, the Freed from Piles THE JOY OP IT.

I, says: What does Premier Whitney propose to do with civil service reform. If reform is good for Ottawa, it is good for the country as a whole. Is is good for the provinoe,.

Premier Whitney had a golden op portunity. are duty is to the whole people, not to the job-hnnte:B. The fake independence of the To- ronto Neste prompts it to criticize the Dominion Government's measure of oivil service reform, but never to make suggestions such as the above for its friend Whitney to make a better one. INCREASED PROFANITY. The first speech from the throne ivered by an Upper Canada gayer- ✓ deplored the prevalence of pro- ity and vice in the provinoe. To- yaa similar deliverance might well be de, not only as regards the provinoe, as to Canada as a whole, says an hange. e a sign of the times, it may be ed that an order has been issued Mr. D.

The Family Cook In Canada. That you may be rubbing shoulders with members of distinguished hunt - lies in Canada is illustrated by an in- cident related from' Toronto, A young Englishman was enjoying himself one evening at the boarding-house piano when he was rather startled by a per- emptory request to "Stop those silly tunes." Turning round, he recognized the once irreproachable cook, then looking far more terrible than any queen of an English kitchen. "I'll show you who can play if you'll give me the chair," intimated the portly lady. The boarder, though not a coward, deemed it prudent to accede to her request. Taking her seat at the instrument, the cook played one of Chopin's beau- tiful Nocturnes with a degree of bril- liancy which even her involuntary lis- tener had to admit. Eventually she left the piano with a wild, trium- phant Iaugh for the underground com- partment she had solely occupied for the previous three days. Sad to relate "Maggie," as she was called, was In the throes of her ooeasional swervings from the paths of temperance. Her mistress sent her away the morning after her musical performance, but three days later she received back and forgave this now repentant, sad.: voiced woman, whose cutlets and cran- berry tarts were the pride of the house. Maggie was a heroine of mystery, In that it was whispered that she was the daughter of an English baronet, and sent over to Canada at an early age for reasons that never transpired, -London Daily News.
