THE EMPTY TREASURY.
For y earsthe Ontario Ministers have
talked enthusiastically of their surplus.
Now they are compelled to admit
that they have had deficits during the
past three years, and that these
amount to $1,200,000.
Mr. Whitney does right in pointing
to the condition of our finances, for
the people whom the Ministers are
driving towards direct taxation ought
to know where they aredriftine.
The Eastern Provinces have had
precisely the experience Mr. Hardy is
giving us.
In one of thein, Prince Edward Is-
land, every farm is taxed for provin-
elal purposes, and in Quebec every
business man has to contribute to Mr.
Marchand's revenue.
Mr. Hardy in his speech pretends
that Mr. Whitney wants to send. the
tax gatherer around.
But the truth is jest the other way.
Mr. Whitney wants to keep the tax
gatherer out.
A PROTEST FROM THE WITNESS.
Mr. Torte's determination to push
through his own plans for the Mont -
teal harbour elicits another protest
from the Montreal Witness.
"The public," says the Witness, "is
learning its Iessonfron day to day.
"It is becoming acquainted with the
spirit and method in which Ministers,
as individuals, and the Government, as
a whole, carries on the work of admin-
istration of public affairs.
"They can see quite clearly and ap-
preciate the motives and reasons of alt
parties.
"ttr. Tarte is creatingpublic opinion
by which he will be judged.
"He can thwart and oppose the pub -
lie interests with comparative impun-
ity for a time, but men with a far
greater hold upon the public than he
has cannot do it for very long.
"Mr. Tarte 'wants to be the master
the servant, of the people.
,A. foreign statesman understood t
„i`enius ol~ the 5 ritishpeople %letter.
"'The English King,' he said, 'who
is content to be the mean of his people

The Slaglater Market.
The Forest Standard, discussing the
hunter questioe, says
Canadians living along.the St, Clair
river eau buy their lumber, shingles,
etc.,in the t.h ited States at a much less.
figure then they can begot on this side
of the line. The Ontario and Domin-
ion Governments encourage the
American mill owners to buy our tim-
ber limits, cut the timber into logs,
raft the Logs to IYlichigan and sawtheni
into lumber. The best is sold in Europe
at high prices, and the poorer grades
are slaughtered in Canada. This sys-
tem has closed our saw mill, planing
mills, etc., and turned a large number
of workmen out of employment from
Sarnia to Port Lanebtcn.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
Windsor, Nova Scotia, which was al-
most blotted out by fire early Sunday
morning, is a seaport town of Nova'
'Scotia. It is the capital. of Hants
county, and is situated 45miles distant
from Halifax. The town, prior to
Sunday's terrible disaster, contained
seven churches -2 Episcopal, 1 Roman
Catholic, 2 Methodist, 1 Presbyterian
and 1 Baptist. It had several mills
and factories, weekly newspaper, iron
foundry, hank, and a number of fine
stores. The cotton factory, King's
College, one school, and a few dwell-
ings escaped destruction. All the
other buildings appear to have been
burned down. It was a terriBle con-
flagration. Nearly 3000 persons are
homeless, with property valued at
several millions of Dollars in ruins,and
with insurance of about half a million.
It is unfortunate that the disaster
comes so soon after the terrible bush
fires in Eastern Ontario and the prai-
rie blazes in Manitoba.
KEEPING APPLES.
Among the many methods of pre-
serving apples throughout winter there
are few which prove very effective,
mare depending upon the fruit itself
than the care bestowed upon it. Good
sound keeping varieties will, however,
go wrong if improperly stored or ne-
glected, and to persons who are care-
less one way of preserving apples is
as good or as bad as another. For the
careful, and those who want to be able
to have good specimens for sale or for
private use, a new plan, said by a
French grower to be reliable, may be
mentioned. The fruit is gathered and
placed on wattled hurdles of wooden
trays in a room or outhouse which can
be tightly closed ; the apples should
not be in convict with each other. A
fire made of twigs of green trees, cut-
tings of vines, or any shrubs, which
will give off plenty of smoke, should
be lighted and kept burning for four
or five days. At the end of this period
the apples should be packed in wheaten
straw in boxes, are being taken that
no apple toucher another, and the box
closed. Treated in thisway the apples
will, it is said, keep their flavor and
soundness. It may be worth a trial
on a small scale.
- CANADIAN OPERATORS.
•
Engi(,iry amongst the operators in
'ogging districts reveals some
startling facts, which call for
"rly remedial action on the part of
ts'ie provincial authorities. For ex-
rwnple, there is one large lumber coin -
any on the Georgian Bay, having n
aIendidly equipped saw mill, with
n2ways and docks complete, capable
cutting twelve or thirteen million
et a year ; for two seasons the mill
ees not turned a wheel, waiting, in all
4.. relihood, for better times in the lam -
ear x52 ea -preferring to keep their
tlinber standing in the bush,
Van cut it into lumber and
au??Qv k; - t product on an unwilling
yp;ta et at unremunerative prices.
For two seasons this company has
sent no men into the bush ; but now
weeeek the change ; they have sent in
a large gang, enough, it is reported,
to take out twenty million feet. This
action would naturally be a cause of
rejoicing to their old employes, who
vpoiald look forward,%o the mill starting
agahi - next spring. But, alas for
their Hopes ! The Iogs are intended
for the Michigan saw mills. This is
lade the most profitable wayof realiz-
ig on them by virtue of the Dingley

i' usau on lumber.

A Town Biuept by a Terrible
Conflagration.
The town•of Windsor N. S. is a waste
of smoking ruins. A conflagration,
which started in a barn between one
and two o'clock Sunday morning,
swept through the entire town, burn-
ing .all day and destroying nearly
every building in the place. The con-
dition of the inhabitants is roost de-
plorable. Few houses are left stand-
ing in the town, and four thousand
people were without shelter or food all
day.
Beyond the scattered dwellings in
the outskirts, and half a dozen build-
ings in the town proper, nothing escap-
ed destruction. `hose which were not
consumed, owing to their detached or
somewhat isolated positions, were :
King's College, tbe cotton factory, the
Church of England rectory andschooI,
Edge Hill's school for girls, and the
Dufferin Hotel.
$300,000,000 aoers urn SMOKE.
E.
The total lose is estimated at about
three million dollars. Altogether about
four hundred business places and
dwellings were wiped out of existence.
By the time night settled down most
of the homeless people bad secured
temporary quarters in the dwellings
in the outskirts, and the surrounding
country, while those who remained
found shelter in the military tents.
The chief losses by the calamity are
included in the list following. Most
of the merchants are partially covered
by insurance. A few are fully covered
but, the total insurance is estimated at
only about half a million,
The charred bodies of Patrick Kelley
and his wife Were found in the ruins
oftheir house. They were apparently

suffocated without waking.
The remains of another roan who
lost his life were found in the ruins of
Poole's hotel. No resident of the town
is missing, and the body is supposed to
be that of an outside man. At a late
hour the finding of another body was
reported from the suburbs, but the re-
port has not been verified.
Two children, a boy of twelve and a
girl of nine,children of Walter Mosher
were badly burned. William Cleve-

The Fire Record.
Up to the end of September, the fire
loss in Canada and the United States
this year amounted to $80,413,700, be-
ing $10,000,00() less than in the same
nine months of 1800 ; and $I0,000,000
less than for the similiar period of 1895.
The forest fires in October will unfor-
tunately fatten out the record to a
very considerable extent.

In the closing hours of afitchell's fall

grounds which came very near prov-

"walking match," when he fell back-
ward from the wagon, striking on his
shoulders. The wheels of the wagon
passed over almost the entire length of
his body, and when picked up he was
thought to be seriously injured. He
was at once driven to his borne, where
he was attended to by a doctor from
Kirkton, who found a blood vessel
ruptured, but beyond this he was
otherwise uninjured.

THE PRIZE ESSAY.
In connection with the recent fall
sbow held in Exeter, Messrs. Carling
Bros. offered a special prize for the
best written essay by a girl or boy
under fifteen years, on the subject of
The County Fair." There were a
number of contestants, but the prize
fell to Miss Anna Martin, daughter of
Rev. W. M. Martin, town. This mode
of offering prizes is a new departure,
but a commendable one. Following is
a copy of the essay
Fairs or Exhibitions, as they are
more properly called. were first initi-
tuted by Prince Consort, who in 1851
planned and carried out the "Great
Exhibition of the Industr4-e; • of alt
nations." This was done in ..-•der to
give a living picture of the point
which industry bad reached all over
the world, and also to encourage
English workmen to rival workmen of
of other nationalities lm industries. 1
The Crystal Palace, which now stands
in the grounds, at Sydenham, is the
same one which was erected for this
exhibition.
The County Fair has been itt the
past, is, in the present, and I' suppose
shall be until time immemorial, a very
important event in the lire of Exe-
terites, and also of the surrounding
residents. The Managers or Directors
of the Fair are busy for weeks before,
with the (books, the tickets, etc.
Every farmer, merchant, mechanic,
gardener, housekeeper or artist is
busy for days before in their hurry to
get their handiwork finished in time
to be judged. The smaller children
are the only ones who are not very-
busy,
erybusy, but even they are "on duty"
anticipating the pleasure of the "Fair."
In some cases the anticipation has
been even greeter than the parti-
cipation.
Monday arrived. It was a busy day
to all who were concerned. The smal-
ler school -children looked wistfully on
tbe "forbidden ground," almost all
wishing that school laws were at the
end of the world. The farmers bro-
ught in their roots, and all inanimate
objects on Monday and these articles
were judged on Monday afternoon.
The "Crystal Palace" was open to
spectators on Monday evening. The
evening being rather chilly, very few
people went, everybody leaving all
their pleasure until Tuesday.
Tuesday morning dawned clear and
fine and slightly warmer than Mon-
day. ;The roads were very dusty, there
having been no rains for two or three
weeks. Any person crossing the
road on Tuesday looked decidedly
sour and I avoided them as much as
possible, and I would advise all others
who would wish to live a littlelonger to
do the same. The sky was a clear blue
with a light airy cloud floating here
and there.
By nine o'clock large loads of people
were to be seen driving into town and
the dense clouds of dust were horrid.
Loads of boxes of fowl came in and
loads of pigs, while people leading
or driving cattle were seen, but it was
not until after dinner that the mass of
the people came. In every available
stable or shed, or in fact any shelter,
suitable for horses, was filled.
We started for the grounds about 2
p. in. A large crowd had assembled
by this time. We had no trouble in
procuring our tickets this year. Gen-
erally, this is not the case, for a crowd
nearly always assembles at the wicket
and pushes and jostles one another so
that it is nearly impossible for any
new -confer to get any where within a
range of from ten to fifteen feet of the
wicket.
We decided, on entering the grounds
to visit the "Crystal Palace" first.
Downstairs, the flowers first attracted
our attention. The apples were most-
ly all hard green winter apples and
we took almost no notice of then.
The peaches, pears, plums and grapes
looked very tetnpting, the peaches
being unsually large this year. The
butter, bread, etc., carne next, but we
saw nothing very attractive in them,
not deeming ourselves very good
judges of them. The upstairs was
very good this year. There was a
veryfine collection of coins on the north
side, which astracted most everyone's
attention. 'We hurried on, however,
as the people behind us seemed in a
hurry to get out.
We visited the root -house next. It
was very poor this year, there being
but a poor showing of all sorts of
roots. We soon passed out, turnips
and pumpkins not attracting our at-
tention very mucb.
The poultry building was not yet
opened, the judging going on jest
then, and we decided to walk around
and take a general view of things.
We watched the acrobats for a few
moments, but, they seemed almost in-
human and we passed on. The most
amusing feature of the fair to inc was
how the crowds around the fakir and
draw stands were taken in time and
again. We noticed one fellow go to a
draw stand, paid in his fee of ten cents
and then take his draw. He just
"happened" to draw a low number
and he got a one cent lead pencil. The
proprietor of the stand persuaded him
to take another draw and this time he
again "happened" to draw a low num-
ber and got a brass watch -chain.
He was again persuaded to take an-
other and this time, having no better
luck thaw before, drew a brass collar
button. He was quite discouraged by
now, and walked away.
We visited the poultry building
next. There was a very fine showing
here. One pair of speckled guinea -
hens attracted nearly everyone's at-
tention. They were really beautiful
and they looked so frightened, crouch-
ing away in the corner of their box
that we pitied them.
When we emerged from the poultry
build ing it was nearly hal f-pastflveand
we decided to start for home. How-
ever, we deferred our leaving for a
time and gave ourselves up to the en-
joyment of the sights. Suddenly it
dawned on my mind that we bad for-
gottenvisitthe cattle,
to 1and
.n
d
pig
sheep penv. We walked over and ad-
mired the -many varieties of cattle.
Mr. H. Smith and Mr. Themes Rus-
sell were the most prominent in the
owners of prize -taking cattle. The
large fleecy -looking sheep were very
beautiful, but tbe pigs were dirty fat
animals and we passed by them with
scarcely any notice. As the mass of
the people were now leaving the
grounds we decided to leave too.
As we passed. through the grounds
on our way to the gate, many and
curious were elle sounds which greet-
ed our ear. The confectioners were
making their last attempt to sell their
edibles, the small boys blew their
whistles or yelled their parting
salutes. The animals as they were
being taken away made a great
amount of noise ands everyone was
discussing volubly the events of the
day anti how they were satisfied with
Them. In the midst of all the noise, a
1ouc1 piercing scream was beard, all
rushed to the scene of the accident and
found that the hind wheel of a heavy
farm wagon, heavily laden, brad run
over the forepart of a` little child's
foot. Fortunately the accident was
not serious. Beyond a bad bruise and
the foot being badly skinned, there
was nothing to be afraid of. We start-
ed for home at last. It had been an
extraordinarily amusing day to all our
party and we hurried on, only to ar-
rive home, tired and I may say very
hungry. with dinner awaiting us.

was met by Mrs. Kelly, who on Doing
informed of the object of his visit, at
once told the story of the cure and how
the results were attained. We were
living in Madoc when our boy was
about five years of age and in the
spring I went to cull him one morning.
He, replied to my call by saying he
could not rise. I at once went to him
and found that he was unable to walk.
Medical aid being summoned we dis-
covered that inflammatory rheuma-
tism had our little bay iii its grasp.
All that attention and doctors could
do was done and the attack passed off,
but the following spring while in
Petothoro he was again seized with
the dread disease and again we were
in terrible dread of losing the child.
When the warm weather carne again
he rallied, but was very weak and
only a shadow of his former self.
Despite all we could do he was again
attacked in the next spring. You can
imagine the fear and dread with which
we watched these recurring attacks,
each one more severe than the last,and
each one leaving our boy in aworse
condition than those that went before.
1-Iis last attack confined him to bed for
three months, and his heart was clan-
geronsly affected. His sufferings were
terrible, and it was pitiful to see him
trying to carry food to his month. His
nervous system was so shattered that a
form of St. Vitus dance had affected
hits, and hishand andarin trembled so
that he could not feed or aid himself,
Some friends advised hie to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and recommend-
ed thou so highly that niyhusband and
myself decided to try them. We gave
them to Harry for several umonths and
when the sliring came watched anxi-
ously, fearing a return of the trouble,
but were thankful and delighted to see
no symptoms of it, nor bus he been
troubled for the past three years.
"What is the condition of his health
at present i'" asked the reporter. "He
is as sturdy and as healthy* a boy as
parents could wish for. 1 attribute
his recovery and present health to
nothing but Pink Pills, and I cheer-
fully recommend them to all."
Rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia,
partial paralysis, Iocoxnotor ataxia,
nervous headache, nervous prostra-
tion, and diseases depending upon
humors of the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc., all disappear
before a fair treatment with Dr. Wil-
liams' fink Pills. They give a healthy
glow to pale and sallow complexion.
Sold by all dealers and post paid at 50c.

Diseases often lurk in the blood be-
fore they openly manifest themselves.
Therefore keep the blood pure with
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Ayer's Hair Vigor, which has out-
lived and superseded hundreds of simi-
lar preparations, is undoubtedly the
most fashionable as well as economical
hair -dressing in the market. By its
use, the poorest head of hair soon be-
comes luxuriant and beautiful.

When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. If a house is cold
new furniture won't warm it.
If your strength is easily e$
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; if you are pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It is not so
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to -the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood,
SCOTT'S EMULSION of
Cod-liver Oil with Hypophos-
phites is the best remedy in the
world for enriching the blood.
We have prepared a book telling you
more about the subject. Sent Free.
For sale by all druggists at 50c. & $1.00.

LTD., OTTAWA, ONT.
GENTLEbIEN,—On the advise of a
friend I tried one bottle of your fam-
ous rheumatic remedy, Phrenoline.
and to my surprise it cured me of
rheumatism, from which I leave suf-
fered for many years.
It also cured ine of dyspepsia,from
which I was suffering at the time, so -
that I feel now like a new man.
I have tried several remedies for.
rheumatism, some of which diel me a
certain amount of good, but nothing
that I haye taken has done so much
for me has your Phrenoline, and T
have much pleasure in recommending:
t to other sufferers.
