We commend to the careful study of
our readers Dr, Bouriuot's new book on
"How Canada is Governed," lust pub.
fished in most excellent style by the
Copp, Clark Co. Lt,, of Toronto. It pre-
sents the most succinct and popular re-
view of Canadian institutions that has
yet been attempted by any writer. As
he tells us in his preface, he has
kept steadily in yiew the requirements
of that great mass of people, old and
young, men and women, who have few
opportunities of obtaining• special
knowledge of institutions of govern-
ent. lie has avoided all technical
language wherever it is possible, and
in every case has explained such words
and phrases which, although in gener-
al use, are not always understood even
by those on whose lips they are most
' frequent.

they narrowly escaped a serious acci-

Fanners arriying in the city from'
the north and from the south bring
most encouraging reports about the
crops. They say since 1887 there has
been nothing' like those of this year.
In some years the heads of wheat have
averaged about 25 kernels. This year
the average is from 25 to 30 per cent.
greater, while the grain stands thickly
on the ground as possible. Oats and
barley are in prime condition. Up to
the present there has been no hail in
this district to do any damage. Bran-

No Paper Next week.
As is our usual custom during the
summer season, our staff will take their
holidays, therefore the ADVOCATE will
not be published next week. We trust
our subscribers will please bear with
us one week, as our hard -worked print-
ers are justly entitled•to a few days
rest. The office will be open during
the week and all job work and general
business will be promptly attended to.
Correspondents will kindly bear this in
mind and govern themselves accord-
ingly. The next issue of the ADVO-
CATE will be August 22nd.
Nearly Suffocated.
On Wednesday a party of young
men came down from Zurich, Ont., to
see the circus, They put up at the
City Hotel, and during the night one of
their number -Louis Foster -had a
close call for his life, Although com-
ing from Zurich, Mr. Foster has read
the comic papers. From them he has
received many pointers in the ase of
gas, and says that the thought never
occurred to him to glow it out. He
shut it off very careful instead, and
felt it again just after the light was
extinguished to see that everything
was all right. This extra care must
have been the cause of the cock being
partly turned. When the hotel people,
noticing the smell of gas, went to Fos-
ter's room yesterday morning, he was
unconscious, but medical aid was sum-
moned, and fresh aid, coupled 'with a
vigorous Zurich constitution, enabled
him to recover in time to take the fore-
noon train home, although he was in a
shaky condition, -London Advertiser.
An Important Visit.
We would call the attentiou of those
of our readers who may be ruptured or
parents having children so afflicted, to
the fact that Dr. J. Y. Egan, a celebrat-
ed Hernia specialist of Toronto, who has
been in practice in that city for more
than twenty-two years, will visit Clin-
ton, " Grand union Hotel," Wednesday
Auguat 21st, and Brussels American
Hotel, Friday August 23rd, with an as-
sortment of some of the most perfect in-
struments the world ever saw -all his
own inventions, being the last twenty
years improvements, designed on the
basis of human anatomy, and construct-
ed in accordance with the highest
principles of scjeoce and mechanical'
art. He will be prepared to treat all
those who may call upon him, even the
most difficult • case being solicited.
For the past few years he has made a
specialty of eases actually given up by
others as hopeless, even curing a large
per tentage of desperate cases. We
would strongly advise those of our read-
ers so afflicted not to allow this oppor-
tunity to pass, as this gentleman rarely
travels, his time being fully occupied at
the home office, where his seryices are
in constant demand, but his health just
g • is trip.
