Mr, James Bryant, Arichat, N.S., was.

PROVINCIAL, FINANCES.
It oanno4 be said that the financial
statement presented to the Ontario
Legislature last week hi a satietactory
one.
The receipts for 1908 wore greater
by $282,000 than in 1907, thauke. entire-
ly to the unexpeoted yield of euooesslon
duties; but the expenditure inoreaeed
$842,829 in the year, and the treasurer
ie able to show only the meagre surplus
of $45,888, oompared with $606,173 in
the previous year. The tollowing table
of reoeipts and expenditures for seven
years is instructive:

THE NUISANCE OF THE ENCORE.
(Brantford Expositor.)
Enoores are often a nuisance, par.
tioularly in the ossa of the professional
performer, and the management of the
Metropolitan Opera House, New York,
has issued an edict prohibiting them, eo
far as singers are oonoernea. It does so
on the ground that the singer is dealing
in a commodity that comes high, and
contrary to publio belief, of limited out-
put. The tenor who develops a throat
wbloh brings him, say, $1,000 per night,
has only a limited number of nights to
accumulate a fortune. Audiences are
familiar with the fact that he will not
be singing when he is 75 years old, but
they are totally unaware, or careless, of
the fact that he will be retired ander 40
years of age. In tact, from the time of
his prime as a singer, the number of
songs he can sing, the number of scores
he can go through, is reasonably known.
They can be meaeared as aooarately as
can the life of a locomotive, and the
total hauling capacity thereof.
We imagine, in the case of most pro-
fessionals, that in the drawing up of the
programme, encores are provided for.
As to amateurs, so long as the prevalent
praotioe continues, there is usually dis-
appointment if the enoore is not given,
and failure on the part of the audience
to demand a reoaIl le taken as indicating
laok of appreciation.
We do not know just how it can be
brought about; but le would be a bleat-
ing if encores were done away with al-
together, and concert and other pro-
grams arranged accordingly. Many
heartaches would thus be avoided, and
an evening's entertainment brought
within proper length.
NOTES AND COMMENTS

the plea set up on behalf of a female
s te1udler that ehe is an epileptic and
should be acquitted, said: -"After 30
years expelGienoe I am convinoed that

by especially arranging feed ohutes and

And all Misery from Indigestion
Vanishes Five Minutes Later.
Every family here ought to keep
some Tllapepein in the house, as any
one of you may have an attack of Indi•
gestion or Stomach trouble at any time,
day or night.
This harmless preparation will digest
anything you eat and overcome a sour
etomaoh five minutes afterward.
If your meals don,t tempt you, or
what little you do eat seems to fill yon.
or lays like a lump of lead in your
etomaoh, or if you have heartburn, that
is a sign of Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a 50 cent
oaae of Pape's Diapeptin and take one
triangule after sapper tonight. There
will be no eonr risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
etomaoh gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the etomaoh, Nausea,
Debilitating Headaches, Dizziness or
Intestinal griping. This will all go, and
besides, there will be no sour food left
over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepein is a certain our() for
all etor.taoh misery, because it will take
hold of your food and digest it just the
same as if your damsels wasn't there.
Aotnel, prompt relief for all yens
stomach misery is at your Pharmacist,
waiting for you.
These targe 50 cent oases . oentain

"ho tower of f.rtulys's of it;ie Modern
Chemist.
The ancients lia'.l no knowledge of
ptomaines, and evidence points to
the fact that most of their renown an
poisoners was achieved by the sing- -
plest means. We know that powder-
ed glass was used with dire effect.
Anionic undoubtedly was a prime
favorite with wicked Italian and
French court ladies,. It should be
remembered that until the second
quarter of the nineteenth century
arsenic could not be identified with
certainty in the body of one who died
from it. Now it is the most easily
recognized of all poisons.
Taffania, the notorious Italian fe.
male poisoner, used arseaio. She
gained large sums of money by the
sale of mysterious preparations which
were merely solutions of arsenic acid.
These were sold in email vials bear-
ing the image of a saint.
To detect the presence of poison an
analytical chemist may spend many
days with test tube, watch glass, re-
agent and microscope. Even if death
has been caused by a poison whose
mere smell has been fatal, truth will
out, and there is more than one poi-
son of this subtle kind. For instance,
oil of almonds -which is used for
making toilet soaps and also for
increasing the scent of lavender -if
inhaled sufficiently causes death by
nitrobenzole poisoning.
But the cause can be unerringly
ascertained in a postmortem examin-
ation. And less certain of detection
are poisons injected by hypodermic
syringe.
Extraordinary is the power of an-
alysis that modern science has placed
in the hands of the chemist, and few
subjects are more interesting than
the processes he employs. In the
silence and secrecy of the labora-
tory many a dramatic experiment is
worked out.
Take Marsh's famous test. Hydro-
gen is generated in a flask and the
suspected liquid poured in. If ar-
senic be there the hydrogen seizes on.
it and forms a gas that will burn.
Now watch the analyst as he holds
a clean porcelain dish against the
flame for a moment. If a brown spot
appears in the middle, that is poison,
arsenic or antimony; 1f elose to the
flame and on both sides of it -a
notched spot -it is antimony; if de
posited at a little distance from the
flame it is arsenic.
Again, chloride of lime dissolves
the stain of arsenic, but not that cf
antimony. On the other hand, pro-
tochloride of tin dissolves the anti-
mony, but not the arsenic. Mistake
is impossible. And there are scores
of similarly unfailing, precise ex-
periments.

Many, many, many years ago Lot
Lee was a telegraph operator In the
old Union station office, says The In-
dianapolis News. Lee was a hot oper-
ator and had the reputation of get-
ting messages off in quick time.
One night a woman came in with
a rush message for Connersville, Ind.
She wrote it out and handed it to
Lee. The latter checked it up, re-
ceived the money, called Conners-
ville, sent the message and placed
it in a drawer with the "sent" busi-
ness.
The -woman hung around; eyed Lee
as if she thought he was shirking his
duty, not suspecting that her message
had gone, and finally said:
"Would you mind looking in the
drawer there to see if the message
has gone. It's very important."

Full of Words.
A darky preacher of Mobile, never
at a loss for words, was once com-
mending to, his congregation one of
the organs of the church, and, ac-
cording to an Alabama politician,
this is how he did it:
"The missionary bulletin of this
church needs subscribers. It is young
and unfinancial, but through the
instrumentality of backbone and grit
it will become an ideal. It was usher-
ed into existence out of purely inno-
cent contemplation of moral and re-
ligious good, which would in all pro-
bability result from carefully agitated
principles of righteousness. The
bulletin will be observed mingling
in social convolutions to furnish
society with sheaves of harvest of
those reasonable products common
to "social contingencies. The tone of
the whole will be missionary work."

First Firearms.
The invention of gunpowder is
generally attributed to Berthaldus or
Michael Schwartz, a Cordelier monk
of Goslav, in Germany, about 1320.
It is absolutely impossible for any-
body to say just when the very first
firearm was made, but almost im-
mediately after the invention of gun-
powder men began to experiment
with it as ti war agent, and we know
that within twenty years froth the
time of the great discovery flrellrms
were to some extent in use. They
seem to have originated in Italy.. A
high authority says : "July and
August, 1346, may be safely assumed
to be the time when gunpowder •was
first brought to bear on the military
operations of the English nation."
The Mistletoe.
The mistletoe, which the Druids
are said to have cut froth oak trees
with bill hooks of gold, for the plant
was a sacred Object in their religions
ceremonies, is seldom found on oaks
at the present day, although it
abounds on many other trees, to
which its pre:fence is always even-
tnally fatal. Such at least is the
state of affairs in 8'rsnee In the re-
gione, gulch asTouraine, that were
.once the special home of the Druids..
Nearly 200 tons of mistletoe ere an-
nually exported from P'ranee to Eng-
land, principally for use at weddings.
