—The daily papers repert that two
prominent politicians were "wind -
bound" for two days on Lake Ontario,
We never heard of such a thing hap-
pening in Parliament, when the
House ha in session. There is always
plenty of "wind" there, and a dead
calm is unusual.

—The Grand Trunk is said to have
lost nearly a million in consequence of
the recent strike. Add to this the
loss sustained. by strikers, and to that
again, the loss of tho people, and it
will easily be seen that strikes are
unprofitable affairs, no matter, how
they may be viewed.

—A Chicago professor has made the
statement that skruaks are good to
eat. Even with choice roasts of beef
at 17 cts. a pound, we are delighted to
allow that professor to eat the skunk
If be wishes. The aroma once in a
summer is quite sufficient for us,
without tasting. Thanks, we'll just
take your word for it, professor.

—The Toronto Daily Star is authori-
ty for the statement heading that
"103,780 Americans have came to Can-
ada" during the last twelve months.
The grammatical construction of this
statement may be wretched, but the
fact is gratifying. Canada welcomes
these American settlers. They are
industrious and energetic, and will
prosper in the great West. The day
when Americans regarded Canada as
a country of only ice and snow, is
past.

—Dr. Jane Walker in lecturing in
London (England) on the treatment
of consumption, said :--
"The first thingwe want to
din ini
to every one, s the absolute
harmlessness of draughts. A
clraught is the best thing you can
be in. It is the one thing that is
good for you that you do not have
to pay for. If we get colds from a
draught, it is not the draught's
fault, but your own. If you
are healthy, you shall derive noth-
ing but benefit from being in a
draught day and night."
Possibly the truth of the above, de-
pends on one phrase used—"If you
are healthy," for there are people,
who if they obeyed the above advice
would be running unnecessary risk.
On the other hand, fear of a draught
may increase the susceptibility to
take cold.

—It may be of interest to our
young readers to know that the Bri-
tish empire is larger now than it was a
few months ago, by thirty thousand
\r"--' Equate miles. This has happened by a
peculiar result of the death of King
Leopold of Belgium. This tract of
country lies at the northeast end of
the -Congo, and many years ago Leo
pold coveted it—and grabbed it—be-
cause be wanted an outlet for Clongo
trade on the Nile. After some hag-
gling with France and with the Bri-
tish Government, he was allowed to
keep it, but in 1906 if was arranged
that within six months of Leopold's
death the district should be handed
back to the Anglo-Egyptian Soudan.
The country is very rich, though lit-
tle developed. The chief town, Lade,
was founded by General Gordon.

—Very few capitalists can be found,
who will emulate the example of J. R.
saj.,, Booth, the wealthy mill -owner of Ot-
tawa. His employees, numbering
about 2,000, vere forced out of em-
ployment for a week, owing to the
G. T. R. strike, but Mr. Booth paid
them their wages in full. This cost
him, it, is estimated, about $12,000.
In return for this large and (to some
it would appear unnecessary) expendi-
ture. Mr. Booth has the gratitude
and goOd will of his 2,000 men, who
• * Will be loyal to him in the years to
come. It is safe to say that in the
end, such an employer loses nothing.
Aside from the pleasure of knowing
that so many families were assisted,
Mr. Booth, has given his men a reason
for more earnest service. They will
do their very best; if not, they are
unappreciative and ungrateful,

—According to American returns,
during the twelve months ending
March last, 103,780 Amerleans left the
United States to settle in Canada,
74,012 Canadians left Canada to settle
in the United States. But Mr. Mein.
nes, Michigan representative of the
Canadian Government, indignantly
denies that thousands of American
farmers, who have taken up free
honsteteade in Canada are drifting
back to the United States becanse
they are dissatisfied 'with cenclitions
In the Northwest. "It may be true
that a certain number of American
farmers are returning to the States,"
said be, "bat the number is a mere
trifle compared to those who have
gone to remain. hundreds of young
feathers' and woikmen from the Unit-
ed States go to northwestern Canada
every year to work during the harvest
time, and these return to their Man
country when they hate been paid off,
The eettlers, however, do not come

This Is Luck.
Max O'Rell defines Luck in this
way :—Luck means rising at 0 o'clock
in the morning; living on half you
earn; minding your own business and
not meddling with other people's.
Luck means appointments you have
never failed to keep; the trains you
have never failed to catch. Luck
means trusting in Providence and in
your own resources,
Is Your Name There.
Winglsam Voters' list is in the
hands of Town Clerk Groves, and
every voter should see that his name
is entered therein, and correctly de-
scribed. If not, he should take the
necessary step to have errors correct-
ed. There are 818 names on the list.
Ward One has 161 names; Ward Two,
151; Ward Three, 108; Ward Four is
now divided into two polling sub-
diyisions, No. 1 has 205 names, and
No. 2, 100. In all, Part 1 of the list
has 466 names; Part II, 255; Part III,
07; total .818. There are 355 voters
qualified to serve as jurors.
Might Have Been Worse.
The last car'of a C.P.R. passenger
train containing twenty-five people
bound for the West, was ditched at
Horse Shoe Curve, within a few miles
of Caledon, shortly before eleven
o'clock on Friday morning. The in-
jured are :—Mrs. Colbeck of Grand
Valley, aged aged 70, ribs broken and
otherwise hurt; Clifford Day of Tees -
water, aged 19, leg bailly crushed.
The accident occurred almost on the
spot of severitl railroad fatalities.
Five of the six coaches, all laden with
harvesters and their relatives, succeed -
.ed in rounding the curve, but the last
car jumped the track and rolled over
in the ditch. Young Day jumped
from the front end of the coach as it
rolled over, but it pinned his leg be-
neath one of the corners. Both the
injured were treated by Dr. McFadden
of Orangeville, and were taken to the
Western Hospital, Toronto. A chum
of Day's, Samuel Bell of Teeswater,
happened to go into the car ahead a
moment before the accident. The
move probably saved him from
inj ury.

SEASONABLE PICKLING SUGGESTIONS.
The pickling season is now on, and
to have the best pickles, it is very im-
portant that the very Best Vinegar
should be used. We have just opened
two lines of very special quality
One, a pure 3X Malt Vinegar one
year old. The other, a pure cider
vinegar, two years old, thus insuring,
not only strength, richness and ripe-
ness, but absolute safety. You will
find our prices very reasonable.

A Fall In Eggs.
While Wm. Armour & Co.'s egg
wagon was passing along Josephine
street near the Park, on Monday, tlse
ground beneath one of the wheels
gave way, letting the wheel sink down
to such a depth that several boxes of
eggs were thrown off the wagon and
their contents broken. The cause of
the accident seems to have been the
sinking of the street over a drain,
The result was a smash in eggs,
Ready When Required.
A. new feature that will be appreci-
ated by the travelling public is about
to be introduced on the lineaaof the
C. P. R. A. recent circularirovided
that all passenger trains shall be
equipped with an emergency medical
outfit in charge of the conductor.
The conductors and crew will be in-
structed in "first aid" to the injured,
and will be given standing, according
to qualification. In case of accident
many lives are lost through lack of
prompt medical attendance. The ser-
vice will be extended to all parts of
the company's lines.
Drainage Demonstration.
The Ontario Agricultural College is
emphasizing the value of drainage
again this snmmer, for which purpose
drainage demonstrations are being
held in many parts of the province.
This is important, and once more we
remind our readers that on Saturday
August 20th, at the hour. of 2 p.m.
o'clock, one of these demonstrations
will be held on the farm of John
Clegg, con. 6, Morris Township. Be-
sides the discussion of the particular
problems of this farm, there will be a
demonstration of methods of finding
the fall over a ditch, determining the
grade, digging true to grade, etc.
Those of our readers interested in
drainage should not miss this
meeting.
Fortunate Escape.
At the time of the recent dieastrous
fire at Cochrane, E, W. Bradwin, son
of Me. and Mrs. Jos, 13radwin of
Wingbam, bad a narrow escape. The
fire took place at night, and Ed„ with
his room -mate, were sleeping in their
room in the Hugh block. They barely
had time to get down, as the stairway
was on fire. A lawyer in the next
room was roused, and had to escape
in his night-dress. Ed. lost his cloth-
ing, papers, etc., probably worth near-
ly $200, but was glad to escape with
his life, as the fire was dangerously
close.
From J. A. Flack.
Mr. John Armour has a letter from
Mr. Flack, formerly of this town, and
we are permitted to make a few
extracts from it, which may be of
interest to our readers :—Mr. Flack is
recovering from an illness, and he
compares himself to the Irishman's
gun, that needed "new lock, stock and
barrel." He is now, however, very
much better. The crops in that part
of Alberta are a failure. They had
a fine rain a year ago last June, but.
none since, and very little snow. One
thousand acres would not furnish one
load of hay. People are cutting last
year's dry grass where it has not been
trampled down on the prairies, and
the cattle eat it because they get
nothing else, but it is worse than
straw. Two years ago, Mr. Flack lost
five cows, six calves and a yearling,
with the same feed, but now has sold
all his stock, and he writes—"If I
could sell my land, I would come up
out of Egypt to the promised land at
,Wingliam." He tells of one man who
sowed 600 acres of fall • wheat and in
the spring sowed the same land with
spring wheat, and he will not thresh
one bushel off the 600 acres, and has
no feed for his stock either. People
are going 70 miles to the foot -hills to
put up prairie hay and fence it in, and
then in the fall will drive up their
cattle. Mr. Flack wishes , to be re-
membered to his Wingham friends,
and would enjoy seeing them once
more.
Mr. Will. Fleuty, editor of the Oak-
ville Record, spent Saturday and Sun-
day with his mother and sisters, in
town. Iie was accompanied by his
two sons, Harry and Byrnes.
Mrs, Andrew Hamilton, who has
been on a five months' visit to rela-
tives and friends around Whitechurch
and Wingham, returned to her home
at Indian Head, Sask„ this week.
Public School Inspector Taylor of
St. Thorntes (formerly Principal Of
the Winghatn High School) was in
Lown last week. He vvas on a visit to
his brother, Reeve Of Morris, and
other Mende.
Brock Brandon and. his sister, Miss
Cora, of Steatford, spent Monday in
Wingham. In company with a num-
ber of young people from the Classic
City, they are spending a week or so
in Itineardine.
Chief of Pollee Slemin of Brantford
was the guest of his cousin, Mr. Jas,
Sientin, this week. This was his first
visit to our town, and he was pleased
'with its clean, tidy appearance, and
comfortable Mmes. "A 'eery pretty
town" Was his expressed opinion of
Wingham.

bride was attired in a grey travelling
suit, and the happy couple left on the
afternoon train for London and other
places. On their return they will take
up their residence in Wingham. The
Advance wishes them much happiness
and little sorrow.
Died In Port Arthur.
Mr. Hugh Prior, formerly a resident
of Turnberry, died in Port Arthur on
Friday last, after an illness of several
weeks. Deceased was well known in
Wingham and vicinity, having farm-
ed near here, and went West about
ten years ago. He was a brother of
Mrs. Fred &ticker of town. The
telegram announcing his death carne
while Mr. and Mrs. %ticker were in
Detroit, and the body arrived before
their return. The funeral took place
from the undertaking parlors of Jas.
Walker & Son, to Wingham cemetery
on Tuesday. Deceased was 40 years
of age and leaves a widow and one
child. Mrs. Prior and Arthur, brother
of deceased, accompanied the remains
to Wingham.
Rather Speculative.
A Congregational minister in Mas-
sachusets is saidto have delighted the
baseball players of his town by the
statement that baseball will be played
in heaven. He did not however go
into details, and so he left us in ignor-
ance, as to rules of the heavenly
game, nor did he intimate what the
players would do with the umpire if
Isis decisions did not suit them. So
far as any light on that point is con-
cerned, we are left to surmise that
they might cast him down from the
battlements of light. He did say how-
ever that the game may be played in
some spiritual form. That certainly
would be something new, and ought
to prohibit anything like climbing
over the fence, creeping under the
canvas, or mobbing the umpire. We
should like to know the rev. gentle-
man's text, so that we could look into
this "spiritual baseball" business our-
selves, for it is really new to us.
Concentration Of Effort.
Thos. A. Edison, the great inventor
said :—"If there is any message I can
give that might be of value to young
people, it would 'be this: to be in-
terested in whatever they thdertake

dismiss from their minds everything
else but the one thing they are doing
at the time, and to think only of that
one thing in all its bearing, from
every view -point, and to be master of
it. Don't mind the clock, but keep at
it, and let nature indicate the necessity
for rest. After resting, go at the
work again 'with the same interest.

TOWN COUNCIL.
00.••••••••
A special meeting of Wbagluun
Town Council was held on Tuesday
evening, 16th inst. ; all members pre-
sent, except Coun. McDonald, By-
law No, 617 was passed to authorize
an agreement with the Bell Telephone
Co., giving them the franchise of the
streets for five years, the Co. giving in
return, $100 per annum and two free
phones. The Mayor and Clerk were
authorized to sign the agreement, on
motion of Elliott and McKibben.
By-law No. 0.18 was also read the
necessary number of times, This By-
law provided for the appointment of
Ellsworth Bolton of Listowel as En-
gineer, under the Ditches and Water-
courses Act, and was passed on
motion of Redmond and Bone.
By-law No. 612, containing regnIa-
tiens for Sewers, was read again and
considered. clause by clause. Two im-
portant points were settled, viz. :-1st,
That on side streets where branch
sewers are constructed on the local
improvement plan, citizens who con-
nect with the branch sewer must pay
the full cost of connection from their
premises to the street sewer, instead
of the town bringing it to the proper-
ty line, as in the case of water service.
The second point settled had reference
to corner lots, In case of a corner lot,
and the setter passing this lot, the
width and length of the lot will be
added and divided by two, and the
property -owner assessed for that num-
ber of feet. For instance, here is a
sample case :—A corner lot has 66 feet
front on one street and 120 feet on the
other street. Sixty-six added to 120
gives 180 feet, The half of this is 93
feet, which is the frontage on which
said property -holder must pay. So
that if a sewer is laid on one of those
streets he will pay 93 feet assessment,
and if a sewer is constructed on the
other street, he cannot be assessed
again. Hence the corner. lot man
may just as well be neighborly and
sign tbe petition for the sewer on the
side street, and thus oblige his neigh-
bors and help them to get what he en-
joys (sewer connection). Signing the
petition for the second sewer does not
make him any more liable than he
already is. He is assessed for half the
sum total of the width and length of
his lot in any case, and cannot be
assessed again. Such is the corner lot
regulation and it appears to be fair.
With these changes, the By-law
was read the third time and passed on
motion of Elliott and Gregory.
The Test Well.
The'vvater at the test well has kept
up its flow up to time of writing
without any appreciable diminution.
The Commissioners have had it tested
and it is pronounced by the Provincial
analyst to be good drinking water,
and free from organisms. On Monday
morning a forty-eight hour steady
pumping test was begun, and the
well yielded at the rate of over 125,-
000 gallons per day of 24 hours. An-
other estimate made by the capacity
of the air compressor puts the flow at
130 gallons a minute, which would be
187,200 gallons in twenty-four hours.
On Wednesday morning, at the expir-
ation of the forty-eight hour test,
there waa no falling off in the supply.
Unfortunately, the Commissioners are
handicapped in not being able to get
their orders for pipes for the mains
filled, on account of the pipe foundries
having so much work ahead, and large
orders previously booked still unfilled.
The drilling of the second well was be-
gun on Wednesday.
