Sawmill. A Parry Sound despatch says :- a distressing accident occurred at the Parry Sound Lumber Company's sawiuiil on Tuesday, by whieh George ilrethour lost his life. He was running the gang edger, and while putting a board through the machine, the saws tore a splinter off, and it was hurled with great vio- lence, striking Brothour in the face. The piece of wood, five inches long, I entered the face just below the right temple, tearing the upper jaw loose and shattering the right lower jaw into a mass of splinters, opening tee brain cavity. The splinter lodged in the wound. Deceased was an indus- trious young man, who had been married about a year, and he leaves a young widow and an infant. IYIAIL BAGS BURNED.

Every night the struggling victim promises himself that be will break the babit and next day when he feels a little bad (as he is quite sure to) breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough fight, with disaster ahead sure if the habit wins. There eave been hundreds of thou- sands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone. and it is quite certain that more human mis- ery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whiskey, for the two first are more widely used, and more hid- den and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done. Nwo, Reader, what is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and. of Nature's God that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a Sturdy, steady and dignified, ad- vance toward more ISerfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evo- lutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and will not he quick- ened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we see many illustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illieois raises phenomenal rops of corn for two or three years. f she continubdl to do- so every year or farmers would advance in wealth ar be3rond those of other sections or ountries. So Nature interposes a ar every three or near years and rings on a "bad year." Here we see the leveling influence t work. A man is prosperous in his business or a number of years and grows ich. Then Nature sets the "leveling nfluence" at work on him. Some f his investments lose, he becomes uxurious and lazy. Perha..es it is -hiskey, tobacco, cohee, women, ambling, or soine other form. The ntent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead. of the masses. 1 Good to choice are quoted at $4 to ' $4.50, fair to good at $3.25 to $3.- a 75, mixed lots medium at $2.75 to $3.2fi, ponemon at $1.75 to $2.50 ancl f cows at $1.75 to $3.50. r Stockers and Peeders-There is still some demand for good cattle ef these classes, but the arrivals of de- 1 sirabl e ca fa] e re light and some v, dealers say they have difficulty in 01)- g training the quantity they desire.

Man goes through the same process. Weakness (in child- hood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, probity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, debauchery, disease, and the wreck follows. The "levelers'. are in the bushes along the pathway of every successful man. and woman and they bag the majority. Only now and then can a man stand out against these "levelers" and hold his fortune, latTle and health to the end. So the Creator has use for Whis- key, Tobbeco and Coffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and "keep them back in the race, so that the great "neld" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed it in the power of man to stand upright, clothed in the armor of a clean cut steady mital and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a Mess of potage.", "1 will not deaden my senses, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, commau and behind in fortune and 'fame ,by drugging-,withwhiskey, tobacco h or coffee, life - is too short.- It is hard enough to win tho good things, without any sort of handicap; so a man is certainly a "fool. trader" when h&" -trades strength, health, money, and the good things that came with power, for the half -asleep condition of the "(hugger" with the certainty of sick- ness and disease ahead."
