Palpitation of the Heart.
One of the first danger signals that an-
nounce something wrong with the heart is
tho irregular beat or violent throb, Often
there is only a fluttering sensation, or an
" all gone" sinking feeling; or again, there
Inlay be a most violent beating, with
flushings of the skin and visable pulsa-
tions of the arteries. The person may ex-
perience a smothering sensation, gasp for
breath and feel as though about to die.
In such cases the aetioa of Milburn's
Heart and Nerve Pills in quieting the
heart, restoring its normal beat and ire -
puling tone to the nerve centres, is,
beyond all question, marvellous, They
give such prompt relief that no one need
suffer.
Mrs. Arthur Mason, Marlbank, Ont.,
writes;-" Just a few lines to let you know
what Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills
have done for me. I have been troubled
with weakness and palpitation of the
heart, would have severe choking spells
and could scarcely lie down at all. I
tried many remedies but got none to
answer my case like your pills did. I
can recommend them highly to all with
heart or nerve trouble."

NOTES AND COMMENTS
According to rough estimates
Canada's borrowings, Government-
al, municipal and private, aggregate
from $1,300,000,000 to $1,500,000,1
000. Moat of this money has come
from Great Britain where the Dom-
inton and its projects have long stood
and still stand on "the most favored
nation footing," For years our' issues
have been especially well received in
Lombard street. Their popularity is,
of course mainly due to the fact that
Canada has shown itself to be a field
for profitable investment. Of late years
the demonstration of the country's
natural wealth has been remarkable
and convincing. But the growth of
Imperial sentiment has not been with-
out its effect on the success of our
issues, British capitalists are not alto-
gether uninfluenced by the ',imam -
stance that the people of the Dominion
are loyal to the Empire of which it is a
foremost State. -Toronto News.
As To Saw -Offs.
[Brantford Expositor
The announcement that almost all
the petitions filed against the sne-
oesefnl candidates in the last Domin-
ion elections have been withdrawn has
led to a renewal of the agitation
against saw -offs, the contention being
that the result above referred to has
been brought about by negotiations
between the two political parties. It
is certainly undesirable that the
investigation and punishment of cor-
rupt practices in political elections
should depend almost entirely upon
the action of the men, who presum-
ably, have been guilty of them, and
without regard to the interests of the
state or political morality. A bet-
ter condition of things will never be
brought about until machinery is pro-
vided which will punish offences com-
mitted at elections regardless of the
representation of the constituency
affected in Parliament, and conse-
quently regardless of the filling of a
petition againtt the sitting member.
At the same time, it is only fair to
say that the filling of a petition does
not necessarily mean that corrupt
practices have prevailed to a greater
extent in the constituency concerned
than in other constituencies, or that
they have prevailed at all. Not in -

WHAT IT I$.
(Toronto Star.)
"What Is Whiskey?" is the title of
an editorial in the Hamilton Spec-
tator.
Whiskey is a fluid. By soma it is
used as a beverage, but by others it
is used privately as a remedy for
what nils them. Some purchase it
in order to use it as a liniment, but
change their minds. In licensed
hotels it is sold in the bars, and in
other hotels in the bedrooma, 11 is
in the nature of an intoxicant, and
many are qaite nervone about hav-
iug it sold or exposed for sale to
others. It has a very nasty taste,
and nobody likes it. The smell of it
is so offensive that a man who
doesn't like peppermint drops will
eat them to get rid of the other odor.
Whiskey has not a friend in the
country, nor has it had for over 80
years. But many still use it to pre-
vent chills or to impart the rosy hue
of a 'taring morning to a blank and
embaraesing rent day. It is used
by some who are impecunious to
create the illusion of afiiaenou, and
while the continued use of it has an
unfailing tendenoy to product patobea
or the need of them on a man's pante,
it superinduces a belief in his mind
that he has money to barn and Bohemee
for the future that will yield wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice.
It is bad medicine-napty to take,
and anyone who Hees it can quit when-
ever he likes, but the more of it he
rises the less reason he seen for quitting
it. It Is a jovial fluid among new
acquaintances, but it is often accused
of betraying its best friends with no
apparent object.
If the Spectator wants further par-
tionlars about whiskey, we may re-
fer that journal to the Standard
Dictionary, any good encyclopedia,
or to the annual reports of the pro-
vincial asylums, prisons and houses of
refuge.
The Delineator for duly.
If anyone has an ambition to climb
mountains as a vacation ,pastime, Mies
Annie S. Peck's description of her ex-
periences in making the famous ascent
of Mt. Hnasoaran, whioh appears in The
Delineator for July, will be conducive
to second thought. In this number of
the magazine, which each month offers
a remarkable variety of good things,
Mabel Potter Daggett tells what the
gospel -workers of a great city do toward
"-Saving New York in Summer." This
is a vivid picture of a phase of city life
about whioh little is known. It is a
study of street characters who play their
parts in comedy and tragedy. For the
benefit of girls who are planning a trip
abroad for the purpose of pursuing some
branch of education, Mildred Stapley
presents "The Other Side of Studying
in Paris." In her series, "After College
Days, What?" Ruth Cranston gives en-
couragement and advice to the girl who
lives at home. A feature of this issue is
"Cheating," a new song by Clare Kum-
mer, composer of "Dearie" and other
anoceeeful Songs.
The fiction includes "A Discord" by
Arthur Conan Doyle, "The Dead Past"
by Alice Brown and "Billie Brad and
the Big Lie" by Ellie Parker Butler,
F. Marion Crawtord's serial, "Stradel-
la," if continued in this Midsummer
number.
Rudyard Kipling has written five
stories for The Delineator. The first,
"Cold Iron," will appear in the Sep-
tember number.
The fashions for July are beautifully
illustrated. Edouard La Fontaine writes
of "Fetes and Frocks in Paris," and
Mrs. Clara E. Simcox points out a vari-
ety of "The -Penny Dreadfnla in Drees."

OUR plant didn't grow big because we wanted to
make the most pianos, but because we wanted
to make the best. It takes more space to make one
good piano than to make four of the made -to -sell
kind.
Besides the regular machinery used by piano
makers we have' many machines of our own invention.
Each one of these machines does,its part of the con-
struction of a Mason and Risch piano in a better way

Barnabae was a relative of Mark; are
