Ile declares it is an aid to health and a help in preventing disease, and to that end he advocates a "tell your friends how well they look" movement. "It is not only bad taste to talk of your pains and ailments," says the doctor, "but a reflection on your intel- ligence and knowledge of sanitation and good health. We are not far from the time when the cause of illness will have to be accounted for personally. "In other words, nature is no longer . going to be blamed for sickness when it is simply the result of ignorance, in- difference or wrong ways of living."

The most remarkable literary forgery on record was perpetrated in 1870 on Michael Chasles, a French scientist of European reputation. Chasles, who was in his dotage, purchased within a few years from one Vrain-Lucas no fewer than 27,000 autographs. A. M. Broadley tens the story in his "Chats on Autographs:" "Beginning with a supposed corre- spondence between the youthful New- ton and Pascal, Vrain-Lucas proceeded to fabricate letters of Rabelais, Montes- quieu and La Bruyere. Before he had finished M. Chaska becametbe posses-. sor of letters in French, and written on paper made in France, of Julius Cae- sar, Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene and even of Lazarus after his resurrec- tion." Vrain-Lucas was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, and among other forged manuscripts from his pen there were produced in court letters from Alexander the Great, Herod, Pompey, Judas Iscariot, Sappho, Pontius Pilate and Joan of Ara ,JAMEST OWN Nelson Hayden is home from his trip to the United States to visit his daugh- ter who was seriouely ill.

The piercing warcry of the cat in the night startles asld exasperates us beyond all bearing -not by its loud- ness, but by a certain vicious, weird, half terrifying, half infuriating note in it that makes us' spring to arms with the bootjack or, other substitute for the boomerang, as the warwhoop of our tribal enemies did a century or centuries ago. says Dr. Woods Hutch- inson. One of Mark Twain's wise old fron- tiersmen had caught this note when he explained to the tenderfoot that.an- imal speech had rules of , composition and grammar. just like human speech, and that "the reason a cat riles ye so ain't on account of the noise she makes, but on account of the sickenin' bad grammar she uses." And he was right, for the grammar of scalp lifting and the whole alphabetof battle, mur- der and sudden death tingles and screams in the rasping cry.

From 1337 to 1344 he wrote it up, often day by day, in Lat- in, and his manuscript: being on vel- lum, was somehow preserved and is DOW !n the Bodleian. Merle did not trouble himself with the popular lore about "skyey influences," but stuck to an accurate record of fact, in the spir- it at least of the modern meteorolo- gists. And from his jottings•it seems that he had pretty much the same kind of weather to deal with as folks in his parish of Frilby experience now. Contrary to theory, the changes of six centuries have not reduced the number of wet days in the year.- London Chronicle. • BRUSSELS W • A. Grewar received word this week of the demise of his uncle, Alex Grewar, of Akron. Ohio. He passed away at the hospital on May 2nd, from the effects of an operation.

MORRIS Sunday morning, May 28th, an old and well known resident of the 3rd line, in the person of Richard S. Armstrong, passed away, aged 76 years and 3 months. His demise was not a surprise as he had been in failing health for the past couple of years, a heart trouble being the cause. Deceased was born in Co. Cavan, Ireland, and came to Canada with his father's family when about 2 years of age. They lived in Kitley township and then in Tuscarora town- ship, Brant Co., moving from the latter to Morris township, when the subject of this notice was 15 years old. They took possession of N;2 Lot 27, Con. 4, upon which Mr. Armstrong lived until his decease. 53 or 54 years ago deceased was united in marriage to Maria Ingram, of the same line, and to them were born 11 children. The six sons are Chas. and ,'rank, in the West; Rich., W. H., and Alex., of Grey township; and Lewis at home. Daughters are Mrs. Abbey, in the West; Mesdames -Warwick, Morris; Mrs. Rutledge, of Dakota; and Mrs. J. H. Sellars, deceased. Mr. Armstrong was industrious, thrifty and a good manager and with the same qualities possessed by his children they have prospered. Deceased belonged to the Anglican church. He was a good husband, a wise father and an A 1 neighbor, Mrs. George Crooks, Brus- sels, is the only survivor of a family of 9 in the Armstrong family, 7 of whom were sisters.

Toronto, June 5 - Union Stock Yards, June 5.-Ruyers made a serious effort to cut down butcher cattle values 20c, and drovers declined to give way until after a dull early session, when they agreed to a recession which varied from 10 to 15c. Even at the decline trade continued slow, and at noon a fair proportion of the 3,000 head of cattle on offer were still in the pens. Later in the day drovers in a few cases sub- mitted to a further slight sacrifice, yet the market closed dull. The choice butchers among the offering were not so much affected as were the medium to fair quality. but the general quality of the pick was not equal to that of a week ago. Three loads cashed in at $9.75, which was the top price of the morning, except in the case of three baby beefs, which brought 10c per lb. A few loads of cattle sold from $9.00 to $9.25, and the bulk of the remainder found values between $8 25 and $8.50. Cows and butcher bulls were a steady and normal trade. There were only a few minor calls for stockers and feeders, farmers still holding off in the hope that prices may be further reduced. This morning's values dropped 10c, but the decline was not large enough to influence business. Springers were a moderate trade, but milkers were very quiet Sheep and lambs continued active and steady, but the better class veals firmed and closed 15c stronger. A large shipment of hogs over the week -end went direct to the packers, and there were only a few decks on the open market. The quotations handed out by the packers were on a $10.75 weighed -off basis. The receipts were 150 cars, with 3,268 cattle. 161 calves, 211 hogs, 314 sheep and lambs. Export --.
