Nearly everything that enters a weak, dyspeptic stomach acts as an irritant; hence the difficulty of effecting a cure. Buz'doek Blood Bitters will relieve .all the distressing symptoms of dyspepsia. and in a short time effect a cure.. - Mri. P. G. Gross, Berlin, Ont., writes: "1 have been troubled with my stomach for the last seven years and tried all kinds. of medicine for it, but none of them ever cured me, for as soon as I would quit using any of them,the same old trouble would come back. Last fall I was ad- vised to try Burdock Blood Bitters,, which I did and used four bottles, and now feel so strong I can doall my house work nicer, and can eat almost anything with - put it affecting nee in any way. Vac boy is also using it; he always complained of pain in his stomach and all over, like rheumatism, and at the age of tea had to stay home from school. He hasn't quitejesed two bottles yet and is feeling good, can attend school regularly end eats Heartily." P.11 B. is manufactured only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont. THE DINNER TABLE. , The Period Style of Decoration Still Rules. The period style of table decoration t fli rules, but the details of a partic- ular period are not now so strictly ad- hered l to. The present fashion is to get an attractive display which will edapt itself to the various styles of einiug rooms which now prevail. Arti- ficial rteficiaI flowers and leaves may be used for table decoration. Perhaps one of the most delightful of tables is that which is decorated with autumn leaves and berries dis- played in groups of old Dutch silver vases. Daisies can be used very ef- fectively. the china being decorated in gold or mauve to harmonize. A table of this hind, contrary perhaps to the general opinion of mauve. lights up remarkably well. A beautiful scheme for a Sheraton room is of carnations in various rich colors, the lamp sbades being black, with transparent chintz designs. A ° very uncommon but extremely taste- ful and effective scheme is in hy- drangea blue, with silver candlesticks. In a charming display of table dec- oration recently seen in one of the big shops, which makes a specialty of this kind of thing, the decorative note is violets and orchids, with lamp shades to match. The centerpiece of this, which is a design to represent water lilies, is quite original and is a beau- tiful work of art. A scheme suitable for an eighteenth century room has wall flower decoration in vases and sprays of smilax on the tablecloth: ,This is simple and extremely dainty. poppies are a leading note in. another of the schemes, the lamp shades here ;with the deep fringe being very effec- tive. f ee-tive. For a family dinner table there is a scheme of holly which produces a warm, decorative effect and which is also homely and comfortable. A. word should be said abouts the uew table linen. Irish lace and linen are particularly noticeable; also some. beautiful examples of Italian needle- work poiet. Circular tablecloths have been inlf educed with Irish crochet centers far round tables. Where a tablecloth is not used lace and linen Qinner mats are employed on the bean - al polished surface of the table. A eature of all these schemes is that ey are inexpensive and easily adapt- ed do t.ed to the arrangement of ordinary rooms. For those who cannot afford tablecloths so costly there are plain linen ones. beautiful in texture and quite as decorative as the more expen- Sive kinds ReS THURSDAY MARDI 24 10..1. t MAJOR IS RECOY•fNG. Kin; of Italy's Preserver Will ;noon Be Well.. Borne, March AG. ---Major Giovanni' Lenges, the commander .of the royal betty guard, who was wounded in the head ,when Antonio 1)a1ba, the an • archist, attempted to assassinate King Victor Emmanuel, is considered by his physicians to he iilnost nut of danger. IIe is suffering from an affection of the eyesight, due to a fragment of his helmet, which pene- trated his skull, pressing on the optic nerve. Dalba, the roan who fired the shots, has been convicted three tizzies on charges of theft and once for beating his mother. The police elicited the information thathe failed to obtain a. dynamite bomb, and therefore de- cided to use a revolver, He' sail, he had -.waited for three years for a chalice to kill King Victor, and was sorry that he had failed, An alienist, who examined the young anarchist, declares that he is sane. The suspicion begins to increase that the outrage was either the con- sequence of a plot or was due to the instigation of some persons who, re- maining secret themselves, aimed the hand- of the weaker -minded Dalba, who is reported for some days past to have practiced extensively shooting at a target. This is exactly the same thing as was done by the Anarchist Bresci before murdering Icing Hum- bert, the present King's father, in 1900. Some Uses Far Alcohol. A • little •'alcohol in hot water is ex- ceIlent for cleaning smoky lamp chim- neys, and varnish stains on glass, tiling and marble will disappear with its use. OM paint stains, too, wilt often yield readily to alcohol when they will not to turpentine. The white marks so often left upon a varnished table after water has been spilled upon it can be taken out with alcohol. After putting the alcohol on the stain take care not to touch it until it dries.

One of Mr. Blake's Speeches in Parliament was taignment of the 0. P. R. Inade by the Government of S ilfacdonald. This was in th eighties. The speech lasted : several flays, and was a masterly p'eesenta- tion in detail of the Liberalsparty's Criticism of what they belielved was ank improvidence and extravagance. e subsequent affluence of the rail- 111vay is taken by many as evidence of the soundness of Mr. Blake's position on this question. The length and mi- nute inute detail of the speech was IIeatter or much comment, and at times of ocular .remarks. Mr. Blake's owed avorite story of this speech, which ae often told to friends afterwards* Was as follows: One of the officials pi the House who was engaged on Mansard and had heard much of the 'wpeech was asked one night as he earily emerged after one of hie 'takes" how far Mr. Blake had got.. Ile replied: "He has crossed to the Pacific; he is on his way east; he is aver the divide of the Rocky Motue- ;ains, coming down grade, brakes off, 1311 steam on, and going like hell." The length of Mr. Blake's speeches ►'sed to cause embarrassment to his olitical advisers. On .one occasion e was asked to cut down some of hem that they might be more con- eniently used in pamphlet form. e replied that he worked on them retty hard and had cut them down ca s close how. as he knew If you• � lout them any closer I am perfectly Agreeable," he observe. "The mater- cal is there and you can make use of ltt " Thereupon an experienced jour- boialist was commissioned to do the 'cutting." Spain rejected France's proposals regarding the Moroccan dispute. The chief analyst of the Dominion has issued a warning against' the use of headache powders. The family of W. H. Oram had a narrow escape from their burning house at London, Ont. Gen. Baden-Powell, originator of the Boy Scout movement, completed his American tour yesterday. Both Chambers of the Swedish Par- liament agreed to the bill for expul- sion of Mormon missionaries.. The snowfall was heavy in western Ontario and many street railway sys- tems were tied up. Trains were de- layed: The Orange Grand Lodge of On- tario West closed its meeting at Lon- don, Ont., yesterday and will meet next year at Windsor. The Government steamer Stanley is caught in the ice at the mouth of Syd- ney Harbor. She is well provisioned and located so the erew will not suffer. Hon. Martin Burrell, Minister of Agriculture, has decided to divide the work which was formerly undertaken by Dr. Rutherford, live stock commis- sioner. An ice bridge at Niagara thatform- ed immediately after its predecessor broke away on Fab. 4, carrying three people to death, went out early yes- terday. The Brantford Board. of Trade pro- poses to raise sufficient funds to es-, tablish an industrial commissioner who will be assisted by an expert corn- mittee of five members. King George has conferred the cov- eted Order of Merit, which is granted only to the most eminent persons in any walk of life, on Sir Joseph Thom- son, the great scientist. Hon.

Kingston, March 16.—The desperate prisoners from Stony' Mountain, who tried to escape from the guards at Toronto, may be kept in the isolation building some months until they come to their senses, so officials say. This is the treatment that "takes the toughness out of the toughest," it is claimed. The department was closed for about five years and was just re -open- ed a few months ago. Two guards are required for day and night ser- vice in this department, and the building is surrounded by a . high picket fence. The idea is to keep ex- ceptionally bad prisoners away from the rest so as they cannot create a riot. ,Caught In Belt. Brantford, March 16.—George Jor- dan, an employe of Massey -Harris Co., ,received terrible injuries here yesterday afternoon while attempting to put a belt on a revolving pulley. Jordan wore a long apron, and had to climb into a long passageway ie. order to reach the pulley. The apron caught and he was wound around the pulley. His scalp was practically taken off and the base of his skull fractured. He was reported still liv- ing at the hospital, but the doctors stated' that recovery was impossible.' Officials at the factory state that Jordan's attempt to put the belt on was the height of folly. ' Talc Find Near Madoc. Belleville, March 16.—A valuable de- posit of talo has been discovered on the farm of Charles Conley within two miles of Medoc Village. The mine is situated almost due east of the old Henderson mine; from which the finest tale in the world is now being taken. It appears to be a con- tinuation of the seine vein, being only three hundred and fifty feet from the drifts of that mine. Fatal Hurricane In Alabama. Troy, Alabama, March 16.--A hurri- cane struck Headland, Ala:, several miles below Troy at 3 o'clock yester- day morning.

At Ottawa they are deploring the disappearance of the House of Com- mons ,"orchestra." That orchestra was composed of two .P.'s, but nevertheless" it was s vee -piece organization. The pair of .P.'s were Joseph Russell of East Toronto, and Adam Crosby of Halle fax. Both went down to defeat in the recent election, and so the nights are no longer "filled with music" at the House of Commons, Joe Russell made but one or two speeches, or rather remarks, while he was in the House, but he made — t. He could playtwo 1 of i ots u sic contriv- �n once. He had instruments at ed a wire arrangement to hold a mouth organ between his lips, the wire passing around his neck. With his hands he played a banjo. Adam Crosby was a clever per- former on the tin whistle. He could extract sweet melody from that tin Whistle as easily as Joe could twang the banjo. Many a time did they get together and edify their fellow mem- bers with the strains of that good old Scotch air, "Cock o' the North.'-'• It was their "piece de resistance." M.P.'s would wander out into the corridors looking for other M.P.'s whom they could summon .into the Tory committee room . and forth an anidience. M.P.'s would ask other M.P.'s for their favorite tunes, and the orchestra would be asked to play "Every Little Movement," or "Home, Sweet Home," but . "Cock o' the North" would be the answer. No mat- ter what was asked for, that orchestra would come to the front with the old reliable "Cock o' the North." And so it happens that Messrs. Crosby and Russell are much missed y their fellow members of the last arliament who were lucky enough o get back to Ottawa. • ' WAS TROUBLED WITH HEART DISEASE AND NERVOUSNESS And thus the east and the west got together, and, with their legs under the same table, as thearable ex- plains, a mighty friendship sprang up. was the tale of the passing of the free range, the charge of the plow on the thousands of heads of fine fat steers, which, for the past .twenty years, have made Southern Alberta wealthy and famous. He was an old-time cow puncher, this westerner. He had come west when the west was . a baby, had seen. it grow and expand in its youth and vigor; and then, when the prairie be- came filled with so many voeees that his own old voice was as a whisper- ing wind, had retreated to the foot- hills to howl alone._ First he punch- ed cattle for the Circle. That was in the early nineties, when the range meant practically everything, from the boundary to the Red Deer. Then homesteading commenced and he '. jumped out of the saddle to follow a plow. But that soon wearied and he returned to the range. It was the range he was riding now, the last range the west has left—up in the Knee Hills, where Pat Burns' herds, as strong and as nuinerous ee in the golden days of twenty odd. years ago, crop the grass for hundreds of miles, whilst, round about them, the rail- ways and the wheat men draw the lines more closely and tie them more tightly year by year. The day of the old cattle man is done, for the ranges have vanished, but there will still be cattle. The boy with the stick shooing the belled cow home is taking the place of the man with lariat, and the barbed wire fence is doing the work of the pony and saddle.—Forbes Sutherland in Cana- dian Courier. A Problem In Hydraulics. Archdeacon Renison, the new rector of the Church of the Ascension, Ham- . ilton, has been for fifteen years the guide, guardian and friend of the In- dians and inhabitants of the west coast- of Hudson Bay. He took the census of that country for the Dominion Government last year. Speaking at the organization din- ner of the Canadian Club of Porcu- pine on a recent evening, of which, by the way, he had the distinction of be- ing made the first honorary member, he told the following story: A Calgary real estate boomer was trying to interest an eastern capital- ist in properties of that city. After dilating at some length on the city's virtues, he said, 'You. know there is only one thing we need in this city's vicinity to make it perfect, and that a lake." I is "Well," said the . capitalist, "that doesn't seem impossible. I would sug- gest that you lay a pipe from here to Lake Ontario, and if you fellows up here are half as good at sucking as you are at blowing you should be able to suck Lake Ontario IIp here in a very short space of time." iHow Grenfell Got Cars. That the farmers of Grenfell, Sask., have had little trouble in obtaining all the empty cars needed for shipping i their grain is the information given by G. D. Fitzgerald, of Grenfell, in an interview at Regina: - When the demand for cars became strong at Grenfell the farmers en- listed the assistance of the Board o: Trade. "The officials of the Boaz:cl of Trade at once took the matter up," said Mr. Fitzgerald, "The result was that we had 25 cars in very short time, and have not experienced any great diffi- culty in securing cars since that time. My opinion is that much of the hard- ship and trouble from car shortage is caused: by irresponsible farmers placing their'. names on the order book long before they need the cars. I be- lieve the proper solution is to change the law so that a farmer must give the railway company seven days' no- tice to supply a car, and if the farmer does not take the ear then, let him• forfeit' a penalty. That is the course I favor, and if such a change was made, I believe much of the difficulty now experienced would be overcome. ' SEVERAL DOCTORS COULD DO HER NO GOOD. THREE BOXES OF MILBURN'S HEART AND NERVE PILLS COMPLETELY CURED HER. 'Miss- Mary Lebeau, Edison, Sask., writes: --"'I was troubled with heart' disease and nervousness for over two years, and was so bad at times I had to sit up at night being unable to breathe, and every little noise would make Erie shake and shiver. I tried several doc- tors, but ry were unable to do me any good. A neighbor then advised me to try a box of Milburn's 'Heart and Nerve Pills.' As soon as :r ben'„ fe tale them I began, to feel much better, and by the time I had used the third bps I was com- pletely cured. I would advise anybody suffering from heart .lir•^ase and nervous- ness to try these feels. They will save quite a bill in doctor's tees." Milburn.'s Heart and.

A Stratford, Ont., druggist was much amused at a remark made a few days ago by a boy in his employ. The boy was told to deliver a pack- age to the hospital. Arriving there, he knocked at the door, but as no one answered he went to the nurses' home and left it there. Getting back to the drug store he reported on his delivery of the pack- age thus. "1 couldn't mete anybody hear at the hospital so I took it to the nursery." • CANADIAN rODOS AES Commissioner in Birmingham Can Speak Well Only of Ou ° Cheese..

Real Home Missionary Work. There was a dramatic scene in the Saskatchewan Legislature recently. The Prairie House was considering an appropriation of $91,000 for hos- pital aid in the province. Up rose Peter Gunn, M.P.P. for Lac St. Anne. Mr. Gunn is a real old- timer, a pioneer of the Great North; he represents one of the largest con- stituencies in the Assembly. Peter Gunn had something to say. In simple, pathetic tones, this rug- ged veteran of the trails put in a plea for the men of the north, who die be- cause there is no one to savethem. He described the hardships and dan- ger incurred by those whose spirit leads them in advance of civilization —the makers of the country. When they fell ill, they could not telephone for a doctor—they got better or—died. In the whole of the vast Pembina district, he said, there was not a sin- gle ingle medical man. Doctors wou'd not practice in this country because the settlements were not large enough to afford sufficient remuneration. But doctors would practice anywhere in. the North if the Government would. contribute t4 their support; . "As the member for Lac St. Anne concluded, there was not a sound to be heard in the House," remarks The Edmonton Journal commenting on the effect of Peter Gunn's plea. "The members had spent the . entire day earnestly discussing the expenditure of great sums of money for almost every purpose but that of humanely helping the women and the children and the men who get mortally hurt in the making of the country. The old-timer, unmindful of his broken rib, gently slid into his seat." A Holiday In Lucan. In Western Ontario in the village of Lucan they do not get much ex- citement save an occasional murder. Consequently it was something of a public event when a wheel of for- tune man blew into town. He set up his wheel in front of one of the two hotels there. In a few minutes the proprietor of the other hotel, seeing the crowd around the opposition hotel, told his hostler, Jim, to go down and tell the wheel of fortune man to bring his wheel up to his hotel. Jim went down, and a conversation took place something as follows: "Will you bring your wheel up to Blank's hotel?" "Why 'should I bring my wheel up there?" "I tell you to bring your wheel up to Blank's." "I'll not move my wheel, I'm doing alright." "Well, you're gambling, and it's against the law, and I'11' stop it," which he proceeded to do forcibly. Sheep For Canada. Prof. Elliott, the superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railway demon- stration farms in Southern Alberta, purchased, during his recent visit to England, a small flock of Exmoor sheep for breeding purposes. Prof. Elliott considers that these sheen will thrive well on the • foothills 'of the Rocky Mountains, and the experiment will be watched with much interest. Prof. Elliot was greatly impressed with the Devon cattle that he saw on Exmoor, and he may induce his corn - party later on to acquire a picked herd. Alberta is an ideal country for mixed farming and dairying, and every effort to widen the present nar- row basis of agriculture in the West, which rests too exclusively on wheat growing, is to be commended. - Must Keep Stock. 'Agriculture will for all time be the mainstays of Canada. Without live stock farming is merely land robbery, which in due time brings its own reward. -Toronto World.

Meighen of Montreal Supports Grand Opera. The story of the Montreal Opera Co. is that of a man and his hobby. Toronto has its H. C. Cox, whose munificence mainly supports a fine symphony orchestra. Montreal has her Col. Meighen, who, with a few other men, is responsible for what is in some respects the best opera com- pany ever seen in Canada. Col. Meighen is a son of the late Mr. Robert Meighen, the Montreal mill king. He was born at Perth, Ont.; educated at McGill. He is a tall, clean, quick man, who glides across the floor to answer the tele- phone or to attend to some business at the other end of the room with silent, swift and sure poise. Another thing about the colonel—he looks al- ways in the pink of condition. Prob- ably that es because lie is so fond of riding horses and playing polo; then, of course, too, he is a graduate, of that splendid physical training. school, the militia, having been lien - tenant -colonel of the 5th Royal High-, lenders. When his father died, he' succeeded to several millions. He' showed sanity in the use of his patri- mony by first trying to fill the gap' left by his father on the boards of. some of the great industries with Which bp was so long connected; and then bringing to fruition someof his own youthful dreams which had been dozing in the back of his head. One of these was music. The colonel loves n uric. Well, what Highlander doesn't? The colon-; el had long been interested in grand opera as it is produced in London, Berlin and Paris. .In these cities grand opera receives its support from state subsidy or by means of aid from private individuals. Because of high salaries required to be paid for singers, expense of scenery and cos- tumes, and the limited audience to' whom music of the first class appeals,. grand operahas not been, generally; speaking, a profitable business for nri.• T11.178' emerprrse. -.Its anon =bees production has been a matter of stat effort or patriotic generosity. Two years ago, Col. Meighen b' came convinced that Canada was e titled to a grand. opera of its own. called in Sir Rodolphe Forget, Si Montague Allan, and other Montre men of money, who agreed with hi Col. Meighen 'did not stop with tal hng. He and his associates put up uge sum of money, engaged singer$ and. the result is the Montreal Opera Comp. Lastanyseason the company had a sued cessful premiere. But this seasonon thee eclipsedexpectations. For thre months, they sang at His Majestyd Montreal, and then visited Queb Toronto and Ottawa. During tha time they produced two French an two Italian operas which had never before been heard in America. Col. Meighen thinks that the su cess of grand opera is only a matte of education in this country. Th Montreal Opera he hopet Will become . a national institution; and he is ver' optimistic over the fact that five of: this year's company are Canadians. td Took Foster's Seat, a The other day a forestry deputation from Brantford went to Ottawa tiD, suggest some reforms.
