H. Savage Luudor in his book "Across
Unknown South Aenerien:"
"The fereet near the Seeundury river
wee at first overgrown with dense
vegetation that gave us a good deal of
work awl extra exertion, but after
that, when we got some distance from
I, the water, the forest wee fairly elean,
except ot course for the fallen trees.
We foaled troublesome ravines of great
depth where etreamiets had cut their
way through.
"In going down one of these difficult
ravittes I had ma aeclilent that might
have been fatal. The ravine, the sides
of which were almost vertical, was
very narrow—only about ten metres
aeroes. We let ourselves down, bold-
ing on to a Iiitea. When we reached
the bottom we found a tiny brook
Winding its way between great round
boulders that left a space about two
feet wide for the water. I began to
climb the other side, and I had got to
a height of about thirty feet. le order
to go up this steep incline 1 bad set one
foot against a small tree and I pulled
myself up by a liana. Unluckily the
liana suddenly gave way. The weight
of tbe load that I had on ray shoulders
made me lose my balance so that my'
body described a complete semicircle.
I dropped down head first from that
:height on the rocks below.
"Providence once more looked after
me on that occasion. On the flight
down I already ienagined myself dead;
but no—my head entered the cavity
between two great rocks, against
which my shoulders and the load be-
came jammed, while my legs waved
wildly in midair. I was forced so
hard against the two side rocks that
I could' not possibly extricate myself.
It was only when Benedicto and the
new man came to my help and pulled
me out that we were able to resume
our journey. I was much shaken and
a good deal bruised, but otherwise
none the worst for that unpleasant
fall."
WEIRD DREAM STORY.
The Startling Vision That Saved the
Life of Lady Vernon.
The following dream story is told in
"The Story of My Life," by Augustus
J. 0. Hare. The story was told to Mr.
Hare in Rome in 1870:
"Lady Vernon dreamed that she saw
tbe butler, with a knife in one hand
and a candle in the other, crossing the
entrance hall, and she awoke with a
great start. After awhile she emu -
posed herself to sleep again, and she
dreamed—she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife In one hand
and a candle in the other, on the mid-
dle of the staircase, and she awoke
with a great shock. She got up. She
thought she could not be quite well,
and she took a little sal volatile. At
last she fell asleep again, and she
dreamed—she dreamed that she saw
the butler, with a knife In one hand
and o candle in the other, standing at
her bedroom door, and she awoke in a
great terror, and she jumped out of
bed, and she said, have an end of
this; I'll have an end of these foolish:
imaginations.'
"And she rushed to the door and
threw it wide open. And there just
outside stood the butler, with a knife
in one hand and a candle in the other.
And when he' suddenly saw Lady Ver-
non in her white nightdress, with her
hair streaming clown her back, he was
so dreadfully frightened that he
dropped the candle on the floor and
rushed off down the staircase and off
to the stables, where there was a horse
ready saddled and bridled, on which
he meant Le have ridden away when
he had murdered Lady Vernon. And
he rode away without having murdered
her at all, and he was never heard. of
again."

THE WINGHAM TIMES
Putting Our Faith
Into Practice
A S soon as the first shock of the European war was over.
manufacturers and merchants in United States' be-
gan to ask themselves: -Is it a WORLD calamity?.
Canne.t WE get something in the way of benefit to make up
for the trouble it will cause? -
'
This isa questionthe people of Canada might well ask
themselves.
The people of United. States are awake already to the
fact that many of the necessities of life --yea, and luxuries ---
that were formerly supplied by Continental Europe must now
be produced in the factories of United States.
Already there are indi6ations that the war spells almost
feverish activity in many lines of business in United States,
This:is a time for the manufacturers of Canada to buckle
down to work and make and sell right here at home many of
the things the people of Canada have formerly imported -
from Continental Europe.
And the manufacturers of Canada can count upon the
people of Canada to respond to their efforts in the direction.
Canadian patriotism is on fire; Canadians never realized un-
til now how deeply they believe in themselves ---how strong
is their faith in England, in the Empire, in Canada.
Now is the time for Canadians to APPLY that abiding
faith ---to carry it into the BUSINESS of life,
This much is certain: Most of what we eat, wear and
use fcir months to come—perhaps for years ---must be pro-
duced on this continent of North America
Many Ganadian Manufacturers—already. awake to
their opportunity ---are arranging to get machinery in motion'
to supply Canadians with those articles they have formerly
imported ---the dresses, millinery and perfumes from France;.
the silverware. enamelware and countless other articles from
Germany; the parasols from Austria;' the laces and watches
from Switzerland.
Soon Canadian manufacturers will begin to tell the
people of Canada that THEY ---our own manufacturers ---
have these things for them; soon the merchants of Canada
will announce that they are well stocked with these goods --
of home manufacture. These announcements will come to,
the people of Canada in the form of advertisements in the
newspapers. Watch for these advertisements and wheri
they appear read them and respond to them. It is a duty
the people of Canada owe to their country, their industries,.
and themselves.
IMPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS AND MERCHANTS
If you are in dcubt about how to word your announce-
ment, or if you wish advice of any kind, get in touch with
the business manager of the Times.
Care of the Horse
Every owner of a colt should look
well to the care of the feet. Such
troubles as ring bone,:side bones and
spavins are, in most cases, caused by
the hoof being crooked, which makes a
strain gni unequal balance.
I Naver keep a colt on a hard floor, or
a sloping one which puts too much
strain on the back cords. This applies
to a horse of any age. The floor should
be 'even, andlplenty of litter, always
clean, should be kept under the feet, if
the floor is of plank.
Growing colts should have a box stall
and a ground floor, and it should be
cleaned every day. It is a sin for a
weli-born colt to be ruined it its grow-
ing.
Bad sliceing causes many horses to
travel badly, but shoeing is not wholly
to blame. Careless, ignorant adjust-
ment of the harness is one cause.
Is the horse barn a dark unventilated
place where you dislike to stay long?
Poor place this for good Ire es. Bet-
ter improve it now.
Money Urgently Needed!
Their lob was never an easy ono, even
under favorable eontlitions. They had to
struggle along through sheer hard work
and hand-to-mouth pinching and scraping.
Then came the blow. The husband. was
stricken deem with tubereulosie. The wife
was left with four little ones to keep. Bub
she faced the future braeoly, buoyed up by
the hope thab some day her husband will
eorne back. In the meantime, she has to
go out washing and cleaning evety day, and
then force her tired-oub 'body to do hor own
-work at nights.
Casee of this kind are numerous. They
always call for prompb relief. For unless
censumption is quickly treated its terrible
effects hurls many beyond the first victim.
Ab this moment money is urgently needed
to that medicine, nourishment, and treat-
menb may be taken to offerers, We im-
plore you to -contribute something XOW.
Please don't deity ; the situation is maims.

EMPEROR PENGUINS.
Very Ceremonious They Are With
Their Bows and Speeches.
In Sir Ernest Shackleton's "The
Efeart of the Antarctic" there is a
chapter by James Murray, the biolo-
gist of the expedition, on those queer
creatures, the penguins. The follow-
ing is an extract:
"Their resemblance to human beings
is always noticed. This is partly due
to their habit of walking erect, but
there are truly a great many human
traits about them. They are the civ-
ilized natives of these regions.
"Emperor penguins are very cere-
monious in meeting other Emperors or
men or dogs. They come up to a iSar-
ty of strangers in a straggling pro-
cession, some big, important, alder -
manic fellow leading. .6..t a respectful
distance from the man Or dog they
halt, the old male waddles up and
bows gravely till his beak almost
touches his breast. Keeping hie head
bowed, he makes a long speech in a
inuttering taauner, short sounds -fol-
lowing in groups of four or five. Hav-
ing finished the speech, the bead is
still kept bowed a few seconds for po-
liteness' sake, then it is raised, and he
looks in your face to see if you have
understood. If you have not compre-
hended, as Is usually the case. he tries
again. He is vela, patient with your
stupidity.
"Their most solemn ceremonies were
used toward the dogs, and three old
fellotes have been seen calmly bowing
and speaking simultaneously to a dog,
which, for Its part, was yelping end
straining at its chain in the effort to
get at Wens."

with an excruciating pain in the back,
and really do not know that the kictrieys
are the source of thia pain. When the
back starts to ache you may be sure that
the kidneys are not working properly,
and the, only way possible to make a
complete cure is to take "time by the
forelock" and get rid of all these aches
and pains by using that old and thor-
