- "Dr. Chase's name has
been a household word in
my family for over thirty
,years. We came from rev -
land to Canada in. 1870 and
soon after that I began to suffer from
pain across the loins and derange-
ments of the kidneys which often interfered
with my work as bricklayer. A brother
workman who hid suffered in the same way
and wae cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pills !save me half a box of these- pills for trial
These were of very great benefit to me and a second
box cured me and took all the pains out of my back.
I well remember with what comfort and pleasure I
did my work after that.
"Froin that day to this we . have kept Dr.
Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills in the house as a family
necessity, and have found that they keep the kidneys,
liver and bowels regular and the system healthful.
It is evident that great •care is taken in the compo -
Dion of these pills to judge by their uniform action
on the human body."

A NICHT WP BURNS.
The 13luevale Literary Society spent
"A Nicht wi' Burns" on Feb. 25th.
The following paper was read by the
Rev. C. Tate,
"Lowland Scotland as a distinct na-
tionality came in with two warriors and
went out with two poets. It came in
with William Wallace and Robert Bruce
and went out with Robert Burns and
Walter Scott. The first two made the
history and the last two told the story
and sang the song."
Burns was born on January 25th 170
the oldest son of a small farmer of
Kincardineshire stock. William Burns
his father had gone to Edinburgh as a
young man to seek his fortune, but not
succeeding very well, he moved west-
ward into the county of Ayr. He leas-
ed a small farm and built with his own
hands a clay cottage to which he brought
his young wife, Agnes Brown, daugh-
ter of a Carrick farmer, and here Burns
was born His father was of a thought-
ful, intense character, valuing know-
ledge, possessing keen insight and a
devout heart but very poor.
Even as a child Burns had much slav-
ish work. His naturally robust frame
was overtaxed and his constitution re-
ceived fatal strain. His F houlders droop-
ed and he became liable to headaches
and periods of melancholy. He des-
cribes himself at the age of sixteen as
having the cheerless gloom of a hermit
with the increasing moil of a galley
slave. His fiery temperament craved
in vain. for sympathy and from this
grew strong temptations and pitiful
weaknesses in after year. A consti t_
utional melancholy made him fly solit•
ude and as he had a reputation for book
knowledge and a certain strength of
thought together with wit and humour
he was generally a welcome guest in
any company. And then too is heart
was like tinder and was eternally light-
ed up by some goddess or other, and
this chronic heart trouble, if I may so
call it, along with his passionate social
cravings led him into those unfortu-
nate excesses which marred his after
years and over which time has drawn a
merciful veil.
I shall not go in to the details of his
troubled life, they are doubtless fami-
liar to most of you, suffice it to say
that coming to manhood he did not
prosper in material things notwithstand-
ing his hard labour. His farming prov-
ed a ruinous speculat on and, giving it
up after a time, he moved to Dumfries,
where he remained until his untimely
death at the age of thirty seven.

preponderates over the evil.
His first volume was published in
Kilmarnock in 1786. It contained some
of his most celebrated poems and some
of his most popular songs, The country
was taken by storm, The people talked
01 him from sea to sea, with his poems
old and young, grave and gay, learned
and ignorant were alike transported.
Even ploughboys and servant lasses
gladly gave their wages to buy his works
He was only a rustic youth but when
he lifted his veice to sing all ranks
stood still to listen. The baron and the
beggar paused to hear. All Scotland
fell under the spell of his inspiration.
Never was a poet so loved as the
common people loved Burns; and no
wonder. He notonly sympathised with
their wants and trials, the joys and
sorrows of their obscure lot, but he in-
terpreted them to themselves and inter-
preted them to others, and this too in
their own language, made musical and
glorified by genius. He made the poor
est ploughman proud of his station and
his toil. for he sang of them and taught
him to hold up his head in self respect.
If Tennyson is the poet of culture,
Browning the poet of hope, Milton the
poet of art, Burns is in a very real
sense the poet of human sympathy.
His heart was in the right place; you
can almost hear it throb. He had an
eye to see and a heartto feel. The
sly jest colleeeed in his laughing eye at
sight of the grotesque and ludicrous in
manners, the large tear rolled down his
manly cheek at sight of another's dis-
tress. The tiny field mouse scurrying
to cover awakes his sympathy and his
heart goes out even to the `'wee modest
crimson tipped flower" turned over by
his plowshare.

In his poetry there is absolute truth-
fulness, intense reality, truthfulness to
the objects he saw, truthfulness to him-
self as the seer of them, Here was a
man, a son of toil, looking out on the
world from his cottage door; on society
low and high, and on nature homely or
beautiful, with the clearest eye, the
most piercing insight, the warmest
heart; touching life at a thousand
points, seeing to the core all the ster-
ling worth and all the pretence, the
hollowness of the men he met, the
humor, the drollery, the pathos and
the sorrow of human existence; and ex-
pressing what he saw not in the stock
phrases of books but in his own speech,
the language of his fireside, with a
directness, a force, a vitality that
tingled to the finger tips and forced the
phrases of his Scottish dialect into lit-
erature and made them forever classi-
gal. Large sympathy, generous enthusi-
asm, reckless abandonment, fierce in-
dignation, melting compassion, rare
flashes of moral insight are there.
Everywhere you see the strong intel-
lect made alive and driven home to mark
by the fervid heat behind it. He owes
nothing to the poetry of other lands.
He is the offspring of the soil. He is
as natural to Scotland as the heather is
to her hills. His variety is equal to his
originality, his humor, his gaiety, his
tenderness and his pathos come all in a
breath. The comic slides into the
serious, the serions•into the tender and
the tender into the pathetic.
Burns not only interpreted Scottish
life but was the restorer of Scottish
nationality. When he appeared the
spirit of Scotland was at a low ebb.
There had been a century of religious
strife, Her parliament had been ex-
tinguished. The Jacobite risings had
been sternly suppreised. As far as pos-
sible all symbols of royalty and nation-
ality had been removed. These things
had all but quenched.the ancient spirit.
Englishmen despised Scotehmen and
Scotehmen seemed ashamed of them-
selves and their country. A race of
literary men had sprung up in Edin-
burgh who were colorless as to national
feeling, Scotchmen in nothing except
their dwelling place. Then in among
these man came Burns and with the
instinct of genius chose for his subject
the Scottish life which they ignored,
and who, touching.the springs of long
forgotten emotions, brought back on
the hearts of his countrymen a tide of
patriotic feeling to which they had long
been strangers.
If Seotchmen today love and cherish
their country with a pride unknown to
their ancestors, if strangers of all eoun-
tries look on Scotland as a land of ro-
mance it is owing in a great measure to
Robert Burns who first turned the tide
which Sir Walter Scott afterwards
carried to full flood. All that Scotland
had done and suffered, her romantie
hitory, the manhood of her people, the
beauty of her scenery would have dis-
appeared in modern commonplace if she
had been left without her two sacred
poets.
Some one has said "Let me make a
Nation's songs and I care not who
makes her laws." This is splendidly
illustrated in Burne. His songs have
bad a large part in the moulding of
Scottish charter and life as it 0 to-
day. The self respect, the sturdy in..

IIAGMSVILT,A, ONT., Aug. 26th, 1913.
"About two years ago, I found my
health in a very bad state. My kidneys
were not doieg their work, and I was all
run down in condition. I felt the need
of some good remedy, and having seen
"Fruit -a -dyes " advertised, I decided to
try them. Their effect 1 found more
than satisfactory. Their action was mild
and the result all that could be expected.
"My kidneys resumed their normal
action after I had taken upwards of a
dozen boxes and I regained my old-time
vitality. Today, I am as well as ever,
the best health I have ever had".

"Pruit-a-tives" is thegreatest Kidney

neys and thereby soothes and curcs any

dependence, the dogged perseeerence,
the stabilituf character and pride of
country which are characteristic feat-
ures are not due altogether to porridge
and the shorter catechism. In "A man's
a man for a' that" we see his appreciat-
ion of the worth of real manhood and
the paltriness of eeerything else in
comparison with it.
A prinae can mae a belted knight,
A marquis, duke and a' that
But an hone4t man's aboon his might;
Guid faith he manna fie thatl
How 'nn ye bloom sae fresh and fair,
Ifo se can ye chant ye little birds,
And 1 am weary full o' mire?
Is it not remarkable that a ploughboy
should have written the most popular
lyrics, the most naturally, elegant and
truly impaseioned songe in the language?
He is the poet of freedom as well as of
beauty and love. His "Scots. wha has"
sends a thrill of warni Woad through
every patriotic heart,
Wha for Scotland's king and law
Freedom's sword will strongly draw
Freeman stand or freeman fa'
Let him on wi' me.
And for friendship what can
with "Auld Lang Syne"
Physically, Scotland is a small country.
Its population has never been large
Its natural resources are far from
great. But the Scotch have a greater
pride of race and country than most
other people and it is to the teachings
of John Knox and the songs of Robert
Barns perhaps more than anything else
that this is due. His songs appeal to all
ranks. They touch all ages. They
cheer toil -worn men under every clime.
He wears the garb of Scotland but he
is the poet of humanity. His accent is
that of Ayrshire but his speech is cos-
mopolitan. He sings in a national dia-
lect, but he delivers a message to man-
kind. He sings the songs of the heart
and the heart is the same the world
over, yesterday, to -day and forever.
"Certainly wherever the English
tongue is heard, beneath the suns of
India, amid African deserts, among the
squatters of Australia or in our own
loved land; wherever men of British
blood would give vent to their deepest,
kindliest, most genial feelings it is to
the songs of Burns they spontaneously
turn and find in them at once a perfect
utterance and a fresh tie of brotherhocd,
not in polished cadences but utterances
as direct as laughter or tears. There is
the vehemence of battle, the wail of
woe, the smiles of meeting the tears of
parting friends, the gurgle of brown
barns, the roar of the wind through the
r ines, the rustle of the waving grain,
the thunder on the hills. All Scotland
is in his verse. Let who will make her
laws, Burns has made her songs -songs
which her emigrants recall the world
over songs in which maidens are woo-
ed and by which mothers lull their
belies to sleep. They have passed into
the very air we breathe. They are the
links, the watchword, the masonic sym-
bols of the Scots race.

We can hardly realise what an influence
these few verses have had not only on
Scotland but on the whole English speak-
ing world in fostering an appreciation
of human life and the worth of rgal
manhood To him the heart of man is
so big that the world cannot fill it as you
see in his "Epistle to Davie •
It's no in makirr. muckle mair,
It's no in books, it's no in lear
To make us truly blest.
His charity of judgment and sympathy
with his fellow man come out in his

he sings "To Mary in Heavan"

Where is thy place of blissful
rest?
Or again when he sings "Flew gently,
sweet Alton"

Flow gently, sweet river, dieturb

Clocks are so sensitive to care that
the woman who can afford o do so
gladly relegates their winding and oiling
to a man who makes that sort of work
his business. He visits her house at
stated intervals and guarantees to
keep them in order, If such a man is
employed, then the care of the cloeks
mus i; be left entirely in one person's
hands. It ruins clocks if they are con-
stantly tinkered with, and it is much
easier for one person than for two per-
sons to laep track of them.
1-3e careful about winding clocks
Wind them always at the same time
and never wind them too tight. Find
out just how many turns of the key it
takes to wind the clock to the propsr
point, and always stop with that num-
ber of turns.
A clock maker says that the hands of
the clock should never be turned back-
ward. If it is necessary to set the
clock, push the hands forward, as there
are some very delicate screws that the
baekward pushing is likely to disturb.

+.
If the clock strikes, always wait, +
when setting the clock, with the hued
just after each hour for the clock to
strike for that hour, and wait at the
half hours, toc, if the clock strikes
every thirty minutes.
Don't let the clock run down. Wind
it regularly every twelve or twenty-four
or thirty-six hours, or seven days or
every stated time when it needs wind-
ing.
Don't tinker with a clock's mechan-
ism yourself. The mechanism is highly
organized and delicate, and it acquires
the knowledge of an expert to readjust
it properly.
A clock should never be moved frrtn
one position. If it does not go when it
is first placed, probably it is placed un-
evenly. An unevenness of a fraction of
an inch may cause a clock to vary eev.
eral minutes from the right time each
day or may cause it to fail to go alto-
gether. So start it in a good position
and leave it there as long as possible.
If a clock stops, and it is not run
down or wound too tight, or on an un-
even surface, send for a dock maker.
It may need oiling, but oiling is some-
thing which only an expert should be
allowed to do. It may need cleaning.
and this, too. should be done by an ex-
pert.
