What it Coats to Itale3 a Boy.
Witte seams,
"My father never did anything
for me," recently remarked a young.
man who a few weeks ago finished
hia ag,14()Qt life. and ieseekiug a good
business opening. Judging by the
words and the complaining tone in
which they were uttered, the Mem-
ber of the Orin who heard thettt is
prone to believe that the young
man's idea of "doing something" is°
au outright gift of $1,000 in a lump
or the purchase of a partnership in
an established coucern. Thie young.
inan, to the knowledge of the writer,
has never done one month's actual
work for others in his entire life.
His life has been passed in the plea-
sant pastimes of the home circle, iu
reading, studying, hunting, fishing,
ball -playing, yachting, and other
employments not particularly bene•
ficial to others. fie is a typo of
that class of boys whose parents are
sufficiently well to do to keep ser-
vants to attend the household drud-
gery, and whose fathers follow vo-
cations in which no use can be made
of the boy's spare hours. Like most
boys of his class he looks upon his
bread and clothes for twenty years,.
together with his pony, jewelry,
bicycle, etc., as mattere of course.
Tho writer, while the complaining
remark was still ringing in his ears,
had the curiosity to make a conser-
vative compilation of what it costs
to raise an ordinary boy for the first
twenty years of his life, and hero
it is
8100 per year for •the first five years. $ 500
$150 per year for the second five years 750
$200 per year for the 3rdfiveyears..1,000
$300 per year for the next 3 years . 900
$500 per year for the next two years..1,000
Total $4,150
This is a moderate estimate of the
financial balance against the boy
who complains that his father has
never done anything' for him.
Unmitigated Trash.
England is compelled to be more
lenient with Canada than with Ire
laud in order to hold the Dominion,
situated as it is oe the border of
the United States; but for that
fewer concessions would bo Made.
That country has been looking for-
ward t) Canada's greater develop-.
went es a source of profit, and has
invested largely in the enterprise.
When it shall so happen .that the
Dominion shall become as a portion
of the United States and under the
same conditions respeetinee trade
and affiliations, annexation will fol-
low. And annexation .is more likely
tu happen than any "reciprocity"
that would be acceptable to this
country. - England in accordance
with street parlance, "is on the
make," but the UnitedStates for-
' tutately has grown to sufficient
stature to look out for herself, and
to refuse consent to anything like
the old recriprocity, that was in
force for a term of years, all "all on
ono Nide like the jug handle." The
railway contest now raging in Win-
nipeg, through which the Mauito-
bans seek communication with the
United States, is being fought upon
thee() lines,: The Canadian Pacific
'is England's feeder,' to gather and
to held what Great Britain consid-
ers her 'own. We cannot presently
foresee what the troubles there will
amount to, bet behind them all is • a
growing feeling of secession. The -
time is corning, when, unless some
relief is granted, the Caner/lin
Dominion will be about as unhappy
as Ireland. It- will be noticed that
Senator Sherman quietly ignored
Canada's pretentious to .bo such a
government as to make stipulations
for herself. The style ot' govern-
. Went .6be has, and whidll. Ireland
seeks, is ,far from looio,r; 3 govern-
ment of the people, independent,
and such an one as, one of those
days, the people .there will deinand.
' Gunflint) reciprocity is impossible ;
nrinoxflion of Canada is more pt.o-.
bable, or the extinction of the t-
ed States.— S. Alban's, Verotont,
Aley:,rnyt21.
The Devil's Nark.
Amos J. Biggs, of Fayette, Mich.,
went to frighten off two eats that
were fighting. A thunderstorm
broke out and a flash of lightning
killed the cats, When he went
into the house his wife fainted,
Unconscious of the cause the fernier
hastened to bring her to. The
first words she .uttered—"Oh, Amos,
the devil has sot /)is mark on you"
-•-excited his curiosity and ho look-
ed in the glass and found the
image of a black cat photographed
in silhouette on bis bald front. Tho
picture was perfect. It was about
five inches from tip to tip and in
perfect proportion. The cat's whis-
kers, teeth, and even the hairs on
its tail were reproduced with exquis-
ite minuteness. Curiosity being
satiefied, they tried to remove the
obnoxious mazking, but to no pur-
pose. However, in the morning the
picture was much faded, and by
noon it had quite disappeared.

Dougal and Janet.
In the early days paraffi
lamps, ss hen tile round open globes
were prevalent, instead of' these
(alley shaderr now so common, there
lived an old couple up in Glenshee
in a tart and a nen. Dougal was
very, fond of a dram, and, coming
home one night from a curler's
festival, he discovered that Janet,
decent body, had left the lamp
burning on the windowsill to
lighten the zig-zag path ofOrer
wayward spouse. Dougal, on reach-
ing borne, undressed as well as he
11/113 able, but in doing so roused his
'sleeping spouse, whereupon he, in
all haste, screwed out the light, to
prevent, if possible,n curtain lecture
on his mitideeds. Some time having
passed, and no appearance of the
guidinan coming to bed, Janet rose
to eee what was the matter. The
full moon was shiniiie in at the
little window in the kitchen, and
there she discovered Dougal active-
ly engaged in endeavoring to blow
out the mood, under the impression
that the paraffin lamp was still be-
fore 'dui blazing brightly. "What's
the matter, ye mild fool 1" cried
Janet. , "Maitter 'i"' said Douai.
"1 dinna•hic —ken what's the
maitser but this lamp will neither
screw oot nor blow oot the'nicht."

A 1310 STRIKE.
A big strike was make when Powell
.1, Davis issued their Extract of orsap-
orilla and Burdocic,. It has met with
great success, and it must, for it is the
most powerful blood purifier in the mar-
ket. It is used with the greatest success
in all diseases arising from a debilitated
condition of the system, and everyone
needs, and should use a bottle or two at
this season of the year, of Powell's Ex-
tract of Sarsaparilla and Burdock. Bear
in mind one 50c. baffle contains more
solid medicine than most dollar so-called
Sars4arilla and bitters. Also remember
that it is sold in Clinton by all druggists,
price 50c a bottle. Sold. by ail drug-
gists and medicine dealers everytiliere.
