came peacefully from the effects of a
weak spell. Deceased had been a life
long resident of the 4th line of Morris
on the farm now owned by her son. She
was a hard working, industrious wo-
man of a bright and aggressive nature,
and possessing many sterling qualities
which won for her many friends and
impaired mental facilities through de-
clining years. She took up her resi-
dence in London two years ago and
continued in good bodily health until
the end. She leaves to mourn three
sons—Jabez in Michigan, Marshall in
Montana, and William on the home-
stead. Her husband .and one only
daughter paesed away a number of
years ago. She had been - life-long

in the polar regions if the earth
changed from a spheroid that was con-
siderably flatter than it now is to its
present form. Mountains, as evidence
of the folding of the rock strata,
should exist in profusion in the torrid
zone and be scarce in or absent from
the higher latitudes of the earth.
Such differential effects do not exist,
and it seems to follow that changes in
the earth's rotation period and in its
form could have been only slight while
the stratification of our rocks was In
progress. Geologists estimate from the
deposition of denudation and sedimen-
tation that the formation of the rock
strata has consumed from 60,000,000
to 100,000,000 years.
If the earth had substantially its
present form 80,000,000 years ago WO
are safe in saying that the period of
time represented in the building up of
the earth from a small nucleus to its
present dimensions has been vastly
longer, probably reckoned in the thou-
sands of millions of years.—W. W.

There passed away on Tuesday, May
23rd, an old resident of this section,
in the person of Mrs. James Ross. She
was in her 94th year and death was due
to the natural infirmities of • old age,

was married to the late James Ross,
who predeceased her nine years ago.
They settled on the 2nd con. of Kinloss,
where Mrs. Ross resided till her death -
She was for- many years a member of
the Whitechurch Presbyterian church,
and was much esteemed by her many
friends. Four sons and one daughter

Robert of Canning; John of Helena,
Montana; and George and Katharine

afternoon to Lucknow cemetery, was
conducted by Rev. J. Ure Stewart.
In spite of the threatening weather
the 52nd anniversary services of the
Whitechurch Presbyterian Church were
a great success. The services on Sun-
day were exceptionally well attended
and the audiences listened attentively
to the impressive addresses of the Rev.
E. F. McL. Smith, B. A.. of Hensel].
Not only so, but the offerings were
very liberal. On Monday evening, with
the pastor in the chair, a splendid pro-
gram was rendered, consisting of
choruses, quartettes, duets. and solos,

VIRTUE OF A GOOD LAUGH.
A Tonics That Stimulates the Body
and All Its Organs.
There is not the remotest corner or
little inlet of the minute blood vessels
of the human body that does not feel
some wavelet from the convulsion oc-
casioned by good hearty laughter.
The life principle, or the central
man, is shaken to the innermost
depths, sending new tides of life and
strength to the surface, thus mate-
rially tending to insure good health to
the persons who indulge therein.
The bleed moves more rapidly and
conveys a different impression to all
the organs of the body as it visits
them on that particular mystic jour-
ney when the man is laughing from
what it does at other times.
For this reason every good, hearty
laugh in which a person indulges
lengthens his life, conveying, as it
does, new and distinct stimulus to the
vital forces.
Doubtless the time will come when
physicians, conceding more importance
than they now de to the influence of
the mind upon the vital forces of the
body, will make up their prescriptions
more with reference to the mind and
less to drugs for them and will; in sto
doing, find the best and most Teffective

A Queer Thing About July.
How we came to pronounce July as
we do now with the accent on the sec-
ond syllable Is one of the unsolved
mysteries of speech. Named, of course,
after Julius Caesar, it should really be
pronounced to rime with ••duly," and
so our forefathers actually did pro-
nounce it. Spenser, for instance, has
the ine, "Then came hot July boyling
like to fire," and even so late as John-
son's time the accent was still on the
