The new board of directors of the Dairymen's Association of Western Ontario met on Saturday in the seerotary's office, Richmond street, London.. There were present; Presi- • dent Pattullo, Woodstock ; J. S. Pearce, London ; Harold Eagle, £tteroliflo ; J. V. Paget,. Cobolirg ; J. F, Williams, Ingersoll ; H. White, Ilawksville. ,Andrew Pattulle (presi- •dont), Hon. -T. Ballantyne, ,A, 1?. Mc- • Laren and J. S. Pearce were appoint- •ed as the executive committee for •1895. Communications were receiv- ed from a number of places. in Western Ontario asking the assoeia= tion to hold local conventions in their respective localities. These 'requests indicate a strong desire on 'the part of townspeople as well as farmers to stimulate and develop iznore fully the dairy industry of this Tart of the Province. To meet the ,'keds of the trade in this regard, and to give practical information on •the best dairy practices, the associa- tion will llolci a series of local conven- tions during the month of February as follows : Strathroy, Feb. 19 ; St. Thomas, Feb, 20 ; Simcoe, Feb. 2l ; Kincardine, Feb. 26 ; IIarriston, Feb. 27; Flesherton, Feb. 28; New- iinarket, March 1. A number of ,practical and competent men who :are thoroughly conversant with dairying and allied branches of farming will address these gather- ings, An afternoon and evening session will be held in each place. It is desired to make these gatherings •,els beneficial as possible, and the ;association desires the hearty co- operation of the townspeople and .dairymen in the districts named in its efforts to advance the interests of •dairying in Western Ontario. At ,other places where it is not possible to hold local conventions the secre- tary will arrange for local meetings.. 'The setting of the time for holding -the next annual convention was de- ferred until a subsequent meeting. L!? he meantime some of the' promin- ,•ent dairymen and agriculturists in the United States will be communi- -catecl witl>:,with tie view of ascer- taining ivliat,, Would be the most •.suitable time for thein to come to •Canada.,.''lrhe association will for- ward eopies of the resolution passed. .at Stratford reeomi li nding the branding of cheese to 1)11.5 other .dairymen's association in Canada, -and to the cheese sections of",ttlie .Montreal Board of Trade, with the view of getting the opinion of these •organizations on the question. , The board confirmed the appointment of T.

FERRICTARY 1 1895, Ham's Horn Blasts, It is seldom that a man witha big income is ever persecuted for right- eousness.' sake. Whenever the world comes face' to face with unselfish love it bas to stop and think. Some very gooc'l people can never see any harm in sin while it can wear good clothes .and ride in a coach, There is no sin so little but that if it had the right of way and time enough it would wreck the universe. The sermons that do the most to save the world are not preaehed in pulpits. The devil probably loves a stingy man. The man who is not a friend -will never have one.

If English people would only realize the immense importance and. value of fruit as an article of diet in the early morning; we should find its appearance far more gen- eral on the ordinary breakfast table. Of its healthfulness at this period of the day there can be no question whatever, and more fruit and less animal food would un- doubtedly conduce to a much healthier condition of body. In the morning there is an acid, state of the secretions, and noth- ing is so well calculated to correct this as cooling, subacid fruits, such as peaches, apples and pears. The apple is one of the best of fruits; oranges nlyo are generally acceptable to most people; but the juice alone should be taken lutd not the pulp, and the same may be said of lemons and pomegranates. Tomatoes. act on the liver and bowels, and blackberries, figs, rasp- berries, currants and strawberries may be classed among the •best foods and medi- cines. The sugar in them is nutritious, the acid is cooling and purifying and the seeds are laxative. Fruits are the natural correctives • for disordered digestion,, but the way in whichmany persons eat Mem converts into nto a curse rather than a bless- ing. Instead of being taken on an empty stomach, or in combination with simple.. grain preparations, such as bread, they are frequently eaten with oily foods or they lire taken at the end of the meal, at ter the stomach. is already full, and per- haps the whole mass of food washed down with tea, coffee, or other liquid. Fruits to do their best work should be eaten either . on an empty stomach or simply with bread—never with vegetables. In the morning, before the fast of the night has been broken, they are not only exceed- ingly refreshing, but they serve as a natural stimulus to the digestive organs. And to produce their fullest, finest effect, they should be ripe, sound, and of good quality, In our climatefresh fruit should constitute not the finishing, but the be- ginning of the meet, particularly the breakfast, for at least six' months ill the year. The good effects that would follow the abundant use of fruits are often more than 'counterbalanced by the pernicions habit of saturating. therm With • sugar. Very few fruits, if thoroughly ripe and at their best, require any sugar, particularly if eaten in the raw 'state, but it unfortu- nately is a fact that what is intended and prepared for us as a •great good in the. matter of diet should4 a transformed into exactly the reverse.—London Family Doctor. Ori„i"1,'if the blotch. Romer, Preschelancl Irinyi are variously named as iii enters of phosphorus matches. From the testimony of a still living college friend, it appears that the real inventor is the Hungarian, Janos Irinyl: It ova's in 1835, when the latter, then 19 year old and a student at the Polytechni School, in Vienna, attended Professor issner's lectures on chemistry. He beoam greatly impressed by a demon- stration o tlie;reactiou produced en rub- bing together peroxide of -lead and sul- phur. Ifstruck high at once that the re- action night be greatly intensified when snbstitrr,fting phosphorus for sulphur. Irinyl *as not to be seen at the college for the next few days, His friend, wishigg to see him, called at his rooms, but foun. d4 locked. On joining his friends,I_ 114d his pockets full of matches, which % struck on the walls, all of them taking fire. He prepared them by melting phos- phorous in a concentrated solution of glue and shaking until the mass became cold *and all the phosphorus assumed a finely •divicled state. This emulsion was mixed with brown peroxide of lead, and sticks previously dipped in molten sulphur were immersed in the mixture. lie sold his in- vention, it is recorded, to a merchant named Romer forabout $3,800 —Invention. Carlyle, " Warts and All."' Fronde thought Newman had the intel= leaf of is Csesar; Carlyle, he tells its, de- clared that Newman had the brain of a rabbit. Froucle adhered Charles Lamb above all English writers; Carlyle de- scribes "Ella" and his poor sister in words' that are harrowing to most of us to read. But as a conscientious bivographer, in- trusted with all the papers and documents, b'roude decided, and rightly, that Carlyle must appear, "warts and all." And when he had given us his portrait, with these disfigurements, he told ns in all sincerity that it was the portrait of the noblest hti man being .he • had ever known,—The National Review. rronde'seroporty The late Prof. Fronde has "cut up" bets ter Chau any historian since Macaulay.

Mr. Froude got into hot water through some of the highly flavored Carlyle correspondence which he published, but th 0 fact that he has ordereti in his will that a holocaust sheu ld be made of the remaining Carlyle lettcrsand Manuscripts seems to indicate, that he could have startled the world still more had he chu'sen, .odic, riven. • RE1.10 OF A FORGOTTEN RACE. Tao>f'ossllized skeleton of a Man round by Surveyors in California, Down in San Luis, Obispo County, there, has been found a puzzle that has for weeks perplexed the scientists of Standford, tint. versity, a puzzle in the hardest of rock,. sa' beaten and stained by the weather of ages as to bear all the brands and earmarks of a genuine. fossil. It seems to the natal.' Med to be a cast in solid rock of"a human• skeleton, a strangely treasured relic of a race that existed some hundreds or' thou- sands of years ago. But there are doubts; that is a scientist's trump card; to doubt first, last and always. The find wasmade in February near the hamlet of Bobbin, 12 miles southeast or Paso Robles. Van R. Elliott, rt surveyor, was helping W, Gillis, superintendent of the San -Luis Obispo Orchard Company, to run some new lines over the big tract. As they sur- ve$'ell they came upon a stretch of rocky ground from which the ,rain had washed the thin covering of soil They saw some- thing that looked like a skeleton embedded in the rock,. but ou investigating more carefully found that the skeleton was part of the rack itself, The finders wrote to President Jordan about it, but as the uni- versity had no funds available for the re- covery and identification of fossilized, per- sons, the matter was dropped until a few weeks ago, when Dr. Jordan went . to San Luis Obispo to attend a convention of teachers. ,lis attention was again called • to the natter, and he 'made a trip back into the hills tore the thing, for himself. - He Was. so impressed with it that he deter- - mined to have the curio cut cut of the rock and removed to Palo Alto for study. Prof, J. P. Smith of the geological depart- ment of the university took charge, and - with J. I1. Means, a post -graduate student in geology, went to Robins) a week ago. They found that removal was impossible with the time and the facilities at their command, and, so, as the next best thing, made a plaster cast of the fossil, This cast is now ou exhibition in the geological mu- seum at Stanford. Prof. Smith was asked about •the fossil and in reply gave these facts: "The fossil is in the condition of a cast or mold in hard rook, very much, indurated and weathered Here and there are seen traces of bones as es lance that it was not carved by some practical joker. The specimen isil inobes 'long 10 inches wide and consists of a back- bone ackbone and ribs, with what maybe traces of the pelvis. Time cumber of vertebrae and ribs tamnmot be accurately made out. The rocks in the vicinity contain numerous in,- vertebrate marine shells, and are undoubt- edly of salt water origin, although they now lie 1,400 feet above sea level. 'Thus it is easily seen that the animal, whatever it. m»y have been, is older than the San Luis Obispo Mountains, The rocks are of the • miocene tertiary age, known as the- white shale or the Monterey series of Prof. LFnv- son." Fossilized human remains have been found only as far back as quaternary titres. ;i skull was dug up from the Pli- ocene tertiary lava beds of Calaveras County in 1800, but it has not been gener- ally accepted -by geologists as authentic. It is also very doubtful as to whether the Calaveras lava is of the tertiary of quater- nary age. Several years ago a supposed fossil man was found in the miocene ter- tiary of France, but this was proved a fraud. Thus the occurrence of human re - ,mains in the middle tertiary age is very doubtful, -since the upper miocene, the Pliocene and the whole of the quaternary periods have elapsed between that time and this. It is impossible to measure this extent of tune accruately in years or even in centuries but it must have been several hundred thousand•years, since in that time has accumulated the greater part of the thick mass of sediment but of which the . coast range has been formed. 'The• fossil might possibly be• en anthropoid ape, but this, too, is very unlikely, since, although this class of siniiadae can be traced as far back as time middle miocene, they were confined to the land. Then, too, in the same rocks with the supposed rami are found other vertebrate, remains of por- poises or other cetaceans. The "man fos- sil" might be the young of one of these.— San Francisco Chronicle; d. Dead-Livinj; 1 .tryman.
