With Many People.
Some are seldom, if ever, free from it,
suffering continually and wondering why
they cin get no relief. •
headaches are generally caused by
some derangement of the stomach or
bowels, or both.
Burdock Blood Bitters removes acidity
of the stomach, improves digestion, regu-
lates the constipated bowels, and pro-
motes a perfect circulation of pure blood
to ail portions of the body, thereby curing
the headaches by removing the cause.
Mn. L. Maguire, Kinneount, Ont.,
writes.: -"I am writing you a few lines
to tell you what your Burdock Blood
Bitters has done for me. I used to be
„tgreatly troubled with headaches, but after
nsilee two . bottles of Burdock Blood
:Bitters I was completely cured. This
was two years ago and I have had no
return of headache since." 10

FiRST PRINTER'S DEVIL
He Was a Young Negro Slave Ern -
played by Aldus Manutius.
Aldus Manutius, who in 14S8 set ug
his office in Venice, has long been fa-
mous as the first of the publishers of
the famous Aldine classics, which to-
day are so highly prized by book col-
lectors. He was the author of a Latin
grammar, a Greek dictionary and a
treatise on the metrical methods of -the
poet Horace and originated the form of
type known by us as Italic and by,
German printers as "cursive" type.
He is also said to be responsible for
the name of "printer's devil," almost
worldwide in its application to the
youngest boy in the office. A young
negro slave employed in his office who
was so very black and dirty that hie
natural ugliness had become an almost
fiendish expression became feared and
known all over Venice as "the little
black devil," and Manutius at last real-
ized that the boy and himself had dan-
gerously awakened the superstitious
fears and dislike of the more ignorant
Venetians. He accordingly formally
exhibited him during a whole day on
the public streets and had the criers
make this proclamation throughout the!
city:
• "I, Aldus Manutius, printer to the
ilaoly church and the doge, have nil
day made public exposure of the print-
'er's devil. All who think he is not
ilesh and blood may come and prick
firm."—Charles Winslow Hall in Na -
tonal Magazine.
Don't Call It Slang.

;he sat down and wrote many pages
and took those pages to a local pub-
ilisher. After the manuscript had been
lin the latter's hands for some time the
!author called him up.
' "This is Bjones," he explained- gen-
!ally.
"Who's Bjones?" came the reply.
"Bjones, yon know—Bjones of East
l;E7mpth street, whose autobiography,
'ou are publishing. Ah -I'm a little
'short this week. Could you let me have

stress split an infinitive may be exeus-

SUBSIDY FOR T.84 N.01
D minion Government Votes $2,-
000,OCO to Ontario. Road,
Opposition Speakers Claim That the
Road Is Now Paying Its Way and
Should Therefore Not Gat Any Help
—it Shouid Get Some Assistance
as a Private Ventura Replies the
Premier—Debated Three Hours,
Ottawa, March 29.—Ontario gets her
$2,000,000 subsidy from the Dominion
Government for the Temiskaming &
Northern Ontario Railway. The bill
providing for this was given its third
reading and passed last evening,,•;af-
ter the Opposition had expressed
their disapproval in a debate lasting
three hours.
Their main argument was that it
was indefensible to grant a subsidy
to a railway already constructed and
paying its way, an argument which
was replied to by the Premier to the
effect that the road was not complet-
ed, and the line to Hudson Bay could
not be expeoted to pay for some years
at least. There was no reason, he
said, why a subsidy should not be
given to a Government-owned road
that would have been given a private -
built road.
When the House went into commit-
tee on the .bill to grant a subsidy of
about - $2,000,000 to the Ontario Gov-
ernment for the T. & N. 0. Railway,
Hon. Frank Cochrane declared that,
in the opinion of the chairman of
the Dominion Railway Commission,
there was no better constructed road-
bed in America than the Ontario Gov-
ernment line. It had been of great
advantage in the building of the Na-
tional Transcontinental, said ' Mr.
Cochrane, and he was certain that
the amount saved to the N.T.R. by
being able to use it in getting in sup-
plies, would equal nearly half the
subsidy to be granted.
If any province should undertake to
build a road to open up its territory,
he added, the policy of the Govern-
ment was to grant it financial aid in
such construction.
F. B. Carvell (Carleton, N.B.) ar-
gued that if the road were paying
running expenses and interest on its
bonds and, moreover, were not get-
ting $300,000 or $400,000 a year addi-
tional from the Grand Trunk for run-
ning rights over its line, there was
no justification for the proposed sub-
sidy.
Hugh Clark N. Bruce) declared
that the T. & N. 0. was a paying
venture, but that made no difference.
"We are making a tardy acknowl-
edgment to the Government of On-
tario for building that pioneer road,"
he said.
Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden said it would
be difficult to maintain the •position
that the .subsidies should not be
granted provinces which would be
granted to private companies. If the
history of railway subsidies for the
past twenty years were scrutinized,
he thought they would find that sub-
sidies had been granted for roads al-
ready constructed.
An application had been made by
the Province of Ontario at the time
the T. & N. 0. was being construct-
ed, but had been refused. Why should
the Province of • Ontario, he asked,
be placed in a worse position because
this principle of aid to Government -
built railways was not recognized
when the road was built!'
The result of the principle advocat-
ed by the Opposition, he added, would
mean that every subsidy granted by
the Dominion should be given •back if
the road proved 'a success.
E. M. MacDonald (Pictou) claimed
that the Premier was penurious to
Nova Scotia, but was make a gift
of $2,000,000 to Ontario.
Donald Sutherland (S. Oxford) re-
sented the insinuation that the sub-
sidy was a gift to Ontario. It was a
mere matter of justice.
Dr. Clark (Red Deer) thought that
if Ontario had been modest le the
past, it would soon get over it under
the present Minister of Railways.
There was something to be said for
the Ontario. view.
W. H. Bennett (E. Simcoe) : "The
ajority they gave."
"I did not think," Dr. lark an-
wered, "that my honorab�e friend
om Simcoe would have so readily
even me the ground on which to
w the argument I was about to
ake. Certainly if the .principle, `to
e victors belong the spoils' were to
Lain, Ontario should get the sub-
frm
s
g
SO
m
th
ob
sidy."
It was absolutely indefensible,
however, he argued, to grant a sub-
sidy to a road already built, and a
paying proposition. The time was
coming when the whole question of
subsidies would have to be more care-
fully looked into.
E. B. Devlin (Wright) protested
against the expenditure as an injus-
tioe to the other provinces, espeoially
to his own Province of Quebec. The
Government was afflicted with a sur-
plus of $39,000,000 and were trying
hard to get rid of it, but they had
nothing for the building of the Geor-
gian Bay Canal, which the late Gov-
ernment was just on the point of
building before Sept. 21.
The Government, Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier said, were opening the door to
consequences they did not realize, If
the Province of Quebec, for instance,
next year launched out into extrava-
gant railway construction, what was
to ^ prevent them coming to the Dom-
inion and demanding aid to help them
out?
Either it was a provincial or a na-
tional road. oa .
d If it
was a
provincial
p
road, it had no right to the subsidy.
If it were a n:i.tional road it should
be kept as a 'national road, If it were
to be treated the same as a corpora-
tion railway, it should be 'treated aa
.
a corporation railway right along. .It
should hot only elaim the benefits, but
should also assume the obligations g ons 01

CAPITAL'S LIBRARIAN
W, 4. SYKES LEAVES TEACHING
TO DISSEMINATE BOOKS,

Entered the University—ls a Pio-
neer of the Canadian Club Idea and
a Charter Member,
William John Sykes, professor of
English literature at the Ottawa Co -
legiate Institute, has been appointed
public librarian of Ottawa.
He is a specialist in languages and.
one of the most successful and pope.I
lar teachers that has ever taught in
the collegiate there. His resignations}}
will be a great loss to the school, but
his knowledge of books and literature
and good judgment will be an invalu-
able asset to the Carnegie Publle
Library of the capital. For about 1.8
years he has been identified with the
work of the Ottawa Collegiate and
during that time he has won the re-
spect and esteem of both pupils and
teachers and has filled a large place
in the hearts of all the citizens of the
' capital who take a deep interest in
the progress of higher education.
Every pupil attending the collegiate
felt that in the head English teacher

they had a sympathetic friend, a zeal•
ous worker and a man who stimulate
ed them to earnest effort and directed
their minds to what is noblest and
best in English literature. His depar-
ture will be felt as a ,personal loss
by each pupil and will be eincerely
regretted by the whole teaching staff,
with whom he is also a general favor-
ite.
Prof. Sykes was born at Cobourg,
Ont., about 47 years ago and moved
when quite a young man with his
parents to Campbellford, Ont. He at-
tended the public and high schools
in the latter town and subsequently
entered Victoria College at Toronto

in English, French, German and Ital-
ian, being gold medallist of his year,
While at the university he took a very
active part in college life and was edi-
tor for a time of the paper Acta Vic-
tariana. After graduation he entered
the teaching profession and was en-
gaged
ngaged as teacher of English and mod-
erns at the Cobonrg Collegiate Insti-
tute,. where he remained one year.
He next became head of the English
department at the Hamilton Collegiate
Institute and was there two years
before coming to Ottawa a teacher in
the collegiate there.
With Sanford Evans, ex -mayor of
Winnipeg, he was one of the origina-
tors of the Canadian Club idea and
helped"the latter gentleman and oth-
ers to form the first Canadian Club
in Hamilton, of which he was a char-
ter member. Prof. Sykes is also a
charter member of the Ottawa Cana-
dian Club. He is a very earnest and
enthusiastic student of English litera-
ture and is a very successful lecturer
on literary subjects. In the collegiate
institute at Ottawa he has constantly
used his influence to promote the Ly-
ceum and particularly in encouraging
the students to read essays and take
part in debates.

People all over this land toss night
after night on a sleepless pillow, and do
not close their eyes in the refreshing

The sleeplessness comes entirely from

There was one commendable featu

STRIKE 1$ IMMINENT.
Half a Million American Coal illiners
Mae Walk Out,
Clevelanl, 0., March 20,—Little
prospect of settling the bituminous
coal miners' wage dispute to prevent
a strike next Monday and the shutting
down of practically all mines operated
by union men was seen by the oper-
ators and union officials yesterday af-
ter they had conferred for hours and
had failed to agree.
The lack of any steps toward an
immediate settlement and the fact
that only two more days intervene
before both the anthracite and bitum-
inous wage scales expire were said
to make it almost certain that a wide.
spread stoppage of coal producti6n
will begin next week for an unser-
tain period, and a strike, involving
about 500,000 men, may ensue.
The situation last night was:
The miners in the anthracite fields
of Pennsylvania will quit Sunday mid-
night, because their agreements with
the operators expire at that time
and no new agreement, even if i
were being considered, could be pu
into effect in time to prevent the us,
pension. The union officials dAe1ar4
the suspension virtually will be 8
strike,
The contracts of the miners in the
bituminous regions also expire . on
Sunday at midnight, and they pro)),
ably will suspend because they have
no new agreement on which to con-
tinue.
Officials of the union assert if a
strike in both classes of mines is call-
ed it will entail a loss of pay to the
men of approximately $1,000,000 a day.
A conference, held in the hope that
a strike, or even a suspension in the'
bituminous mines might still be
averted, was without result up to last
night.

The Antonine Wall.
At the meeting of the Glasgow
Archaeological Society the acting
secretary reported that arrangements
had been completed wihereby two
acres of land, lying to the south of
the cemetery at Bearsden . and con-
taining a very well preserved section
of the Antonine Wall, had been placed
under the Ancient Monuments Act,
thus securing for all time the preser-
vation of this valuable relic. As a
result of representations made some
time ago by the society, the parish
council of New Kilpatrick had en-
closed another part of the wall lying
within the cemetery at Bearsden, and
had opened the negotiations now
completed regarding the more im-
portant portion lying on the property
of Mr. Douglas, of Mains.
The Shrewmouse.
The smallest mammal in the British
Isle is the shrewmouse. This is not
only the smallest British mammal,
but, with the exception of one other
of the same genus, the smallest in
Europe. The harvest mouse 's some-
times thought to be even smaller, but
the length of its head and body is
often two and one-half inches, while
that of the lesser shrew is rarely more
than two inches. The tail measures
about one and one-third inches, and
its teeth are so extremely small that
a lens is required to detect them.
