frooi the sandstone quarries at Hougb-
ton Point, Wis. It is supposed to be

Rev. Dr. Carman, Rev. Dr. Potts and
other ministers of the Methodist Church

ed to $453,410, against $410,545 for the
same period last year, an iaerease of
$42,925. The Canadian Pacific earat-

Jones v, the Grand Trunk Railway
Co„ an action for damages for injuries
sustained by the plaintiff in au acci-
dent at a crossing in St. Marys came up
at the Woodstoek assizes. The dam-
ages claimed ware $e,000. Mr. Wallace
who had the plaiutifa case, asked for
an adjourumeut by consent till the fall
assizes. The adjournment was accord.
iugly made.
A remarkable incident is reported to
have occurred at the Trinity ;Methodist
Episcopal church, IA New Haven, Conn,
the other Sunday. The choir was re-
hearsing, and was singtng, "Oh, That I
Had the Wings of a Dore," when a ear
rier pigeon flew in at the open window.
The bird, which was exhausted, was
caught by the sexton, but after being
fed, appeared to be in fair condition.
Cattle dealers are realizing a tre-
mendous boom inCanadiau cattle. The
removal of the three mouths' quaran
tine by the American Government has
opened up the Amerieaa market to Ca
nadiau stock. In addition a vast mar-
ket for grazers is opening up in the
North West as a result of the reduced.
rates of the transportatiou. By virtue
of this the North -`''Pest ranchtneu find
it mere profitable to buy yearlings in
Ontario instead,of breeding their own
cattle A beast can be fattenea at a
very small cost in the Territories, and
for this reason the business is growing
more and more profitable,
A four inch circular saw for the am•
putation of limbs is being installed at
the Emrrgeue_v Hospital at Boston An
electric motor will furnish the power to
run the device. The saw will be moue
e on a flexible shaft like that whi'
Mist uses, only larger. T tee sarin s

tached ?fete handle by which the surg-
eon is able to direct the saw at any an-
gle. Dr Galvin and his assistants will
be able to save considerable time by
the use of this appliance. Not only
does the saw cut much faster than a
hand tool, but the heat of its rapid cut-
tiug sears the flesh and blood vessels,
and the healing processes of nature are
advanced to a stage which by the old
method is reached only after an hour
or two.
`t
A Government blue Book is, as a rule,
not to be taken up as light reading,
nevertheless that part of the report of
the Inland Revenue of the Dominion,
which deals with .the adulteration of
food, is not destitute of items of inter-
est. Take mustard for instance. Of
66 samples examined only 3 are report-
ed genuine. Too often the article sold
as pure mustard seems to be pure only
to the extent of 60 to 75 per cent. If
you are content to buy mustard label
led Se compound "you. may get it "com-
pounded" with 60 to 80 per cent of
adulterants. These adulterants appar-
ently are harmless enough in them-
selves, but when your doctor prescribes
so many spoonfuls of mustard in a -poul-
tice or in a. foot bath the proportion of
wheat flour contained in the mixture is
of some importance to the invalid.
Your chanees with pepper and ginger
are good, as pure sample:: preponderate
but the vinegar of commerce seems to
be a very doubtful article indeed.
"Dilute acetic acid mislablled vinegar
is not adulterated according to the Act,
says the report, and so much the worse
for the Aet. Competition is the soul of
business, and of adulteration too. The
intelligent public following the trail of
the cheapest commodity regardless of
quality deserves to be imposed upon,
and duly gets its desert. Tne rcpttta
tion of the"busy bee," however, has met
with wonderful consideration, as pure
honey is the rule rather than the excep-
tion. You can still hear your children
recite that °' The Queen was in the ar
bour eating bead end honey;" with-
out making the unpleasant reflection
that perhaps it was only glucose. The
names of the mildlydelinqueut. Manu
facturers are giyembut in cases of groan
acne teration they are withhekl from the
analyst,: Legislation, however, has'
been proposed to provide for this omis-
sion and with somebody to put the law
into sone sort of motion we -for a time.

Germany bad two each. but 1870 the

Struck Down in His Office.
Petrolea, Ont , March 27.—About
half past 8 o'clock on Friday night a
man walked upstairs in the Pollard
block and rapped at the door of Dr.
Ludlow's dental office. He was told
to come in. He informed the doctor
that he had a very bad tooth, and had
bis hand partly covering the lower part
of his jaw. As the doctor turned around
in his chair he was struck on the fore -
bead with a short stick of wood, and
a cut about one and a half inches was
made, from which . the blood flowed
freely The doetor, grappling with the
fellow, was struck on the head a second
and third time, each blow cutting the
scalp, Then the robber took the
doctor's pocketbook, containing about
$35 in money and some cheques and
receipts and then ran down stairs, The
doctor, reaching the head of the stairs
before the robber went out, went after
him, and opened the door, shouting

Love in a Letter.
Guelph, March 26.—A little over a
year ago Miss West, Paisley street, be-
gau corresponding with a young man
in the United States. whom she had
heard her relatives mention. He an-
swered, and tender missives travelled
back and forth uutit an intimate ac-
quaintance was formed. Then photo.
graphs were exehat,ged. He was smit-
ten and she was infatuated. It was a
case of love by letter. He proposed and
she accepted. On Monday eveniog be
arrived in the city to claim his bride,.
and on Thursday they were quietly
married, and left in the evening for
their new home in Uncle Sam's do-
mains.
The Strangeness of Fate.
Last fall Jas. Allison murdered Men
Anthony tho Orr, near Galt, On Feb. 4th.
the lad was hanged_ Since thea fate
seems to be pursuing both families with,
relentless hand. A few days after the
banging Tony Orr scalded both feetse-
verely, Fe was out the other day for
the first time. Mr. Allison was prat
ticafly demented. Now one of the AM
son girls is suffering with. diphtheria,
and the house she was in was badly
wrecked in the recent flood A. few
evenings ago Mrs. Dickson Ballantyne.
Anthony Orr's housekeeper, about 70
years old, went to the cow stable to de
some milking.. As she did not return
Mr. Orr set out to look for her. He
reachedthe barn and following marks
of spilt milk found the old lady in a
seuli unconscious and hoipless condi-
tion in the basement, where she had
fallen through a trap door. She is hurt
internally and is now in Galt Hospital,
Comforts of the Farm.
Only those who was engaged in farm-
ing in this country a generation ago
realize the wonderful improvement
that has taken place in the conditions
of life during the past thirty years.
Things that then was regarded as lux
uriea, obtainable only by city dwellers,
are now withiu the reach of all, and are
looked upon as necessaries of life. Al -
moat every year something is added to
the list of convenieuces which the farm.
ers enjoy in common with laity people,
while tho inventive faculties of the
cleverest mechanical geniuses are con-
stantly at work perfecting machinery
to retader the farmers' toil less arduous.
A few years ago a daily paper was not
thought of in these ycetee e,r t ttet ;. eye
To day tb.4re is no progressivA farmer
e°l; hef;att"eons While a weekly was the
best that could be had a few years ago,
a daily is regarded as indispensable to-
day, and seven eighths of the farmers.
of Ontario subscribe for one.
The end is not yet. The Iatest ex-
periment of the Washington Govern
meat is to establish a free rural mail
delivery, which, if it proves successful,
will be a boom of no small proportions
to the farmer. By that means hued -
reds of thousands of farmers within
reach of the big cities will be able to
read the day's news at the tea table,
just as tbe mechanics employed in the
city workshops do at present. This
will bring the farm -house into closer
touch and more intimate relation with
the life of the cities, and add much to
the attractiveness of agricultural pur-
suits.
This move on the part of the United
States Government is good policy, for
the reason that it has a tendency to
raise the standard of comfort in rural
districts, and make the rising genera
tion satisfied to stay on the land. The
Canadian Government will make no
mistake in enacting measures that are
calculated to increase tbe reward of
the farmer's toil or to brighten his lei-
sure.
Fire Flashes.
Thamesville, Ont,, March 28,—Shortly
after 11 o'clock to -night fire was dis

A Young Lady auic des,
Peterboro' March 25.—This morning
a young lady named Esther Young,
who lodged with Mr, R Newton, Hun-
ter street, left the house about 2 o'elock
and the fact that her steps were traced
to the riser, which 18 near the house,
and then disappeared, led to the con-
clusion that she had committed suicide.
This theory was confirmed later in the
day, when Mr. Newton got from the
postoffiee a letter written by the girl,
which was incoherent and rambling,
and closed with the assertion that the
writer would not die a natural death.
The young lady came front Havelock
to Peterboro' last January to obtain
music pupils, and her failure to do so,
coupled with ill health, it is supposed,
brought on a condition of despondency
that accounts for the suicide, which the
police, who have Glade investigations',
into the cireumsteeces, believe she has'',
committed. She was about thirty years
of age, tall and fair, well educated and
saki to be a fine musician,

fatal heart trouble.
The furnace of affliction through
which Mr. and Mrs. J. Laithwaite, of

California just as he was entering
man's estate. One month ago their
youngest son died of scarlet fever just
as he too was developing into manhood

23 years, succumbed to a 'short attack
of scarlet fever, About two weeks ago
he was in town and attended the dis
trict convention, and next day he com
piained of not feeling welt.and went to.
bed. A doctor was summoned who
gave him every possible attention, and
for a time had hopes of his recovery,

getting weaker, and suffered consider-
ably until.death relieved him.
