York County Council at the January
session decided to ask the Ontario Leg-
islature to impose a. tax on all 'automo-
biles or motor trucks. It is the general
opinion of the councillors that auto
owners should pay a pertain tax for
the maintenance of highways through-
out the Province, and after a spirited
discussion of the subject they passed a
resolution to ask for legislation. The
farmers of Huron county will doubtless
heartily agree with the yeomen of York
and support them in this movement.

CURSICK HEADACHE. •
SOMETIMES IT'S UNWISE TO SUB-
STITUTE WHAT YOU ASK FOR.
A great deal of talk has been ex-
pended on the evils of substitution (so-
called) that is somewhat wide of the
mark.
The dealer has been made out to be
a monster of awful mien and bad
morals. He is pictured as willing to
ruin his reputation with his best friends,
his customers, by urging them to take
something inferior merely because he
makes a few cents more money on it.
Take a packaged medicine, for in -
'stance. It is notorious that there are
many widely -advertised patent medi-
cines that trade so heavily on their
name that they do not give the quan-
tity nor sometimes even the quality
that make a fair return for your money.
Some other packaged medicine of a
similar nature is known to the druggist
to do both, and his telling his custom-
ers about it is just another sort of ad_
vertising that tends to secure a square
deal for the public.
A druggist, under such circumstances
is to be commended for telling his cus-
tomers of better values to be secured,
'and it is only good business that he
should do so.
Your protection is in the fact that
he has first satisfied himself of the
merits of the goods before he could be
persuaded to offer them to his cus-
tomers.
No dealer, unless he is insane, is
likely to offer you something else un-
less it is as good, if not better, than
what you ask for.
Stand-by Remedies.
Turpentine is a sovereign remedy
for fresh cuts and bruises. Peroxide
of hydrogen, bought at the stores, is
just the right strength for household
purposes. It will take the soreness out
of cuts that are "always getting hurt,"
Apply it with a little lint wound on a
toothpick, or if in a hollow place, pour
a little on the sore. It will foam up as
long as thele is any poison in the sore;
after using, bind a dressingof dry pow-
, dered sulphur on the sore and see how
quickly it will heal. Balsam apple
steeped in rectified spirits, is an old-
fashioned, but sovereign remedy for
cuts, sprains, and bruises. Such reme-
dies should always be kept in the house.
For strengthening week eyes, nothing
is better than equal parts of rose-wat-
er and witch hazel; have it as hot as
can be born without discomfort, A
teaspoonful of green tea steeped for
fifteen minutes in a pint of water, and
applied hot to the eyes is also good.
ULYTU
We are again called upon to chronicle
the death of another esteemed resident
of this neighborhood, in the person of
Annie May Sharp beloved Wife of Mr.
John Barr, of IZullett Township, who
departed this life about eleven a m on
Monday, Jan'y 29th after an illness ex-
tending over some months.
The deceased lady was born at Corn-
wall, Ont. in the year 1867 and when
nine years of age she came to Blyth
where she madeher home with Mr Robt
Milhe until her marriage to Mr. John
Barr, 28 years ago this month.
She -was a woman of most amiable
disposition, generous, kindly and es-
teemed by all who made her acquaint-
ance. She was a member Angli-
can
the An g
can denomination and the remains were
brought to the church here where ser-
vice was held prior to interment in the
Union Cemetery. Deceased was a
member of the Independent Order of
Foresters under whose auspices the
last sad rites were performed. There
is left to mourn her loss, besides her
husband, five sons, namely: Arthur J.
East Wawanosh; Charles, Harvey and
Earl at home and James of the Bank of
Hamilton staff here; also a sister, Mr.
P. H. Baker, Belinore.
The Hired Hand.
Oh, winter has its joys and charms,
as I remarked before; we do not heed
the storm's alarms, its fury or its roar,
when by the fire we sit and drowse,
and suck a briar's stem; but, oh, the
man who milks the cows at 5 o'clock A.
Ml The hired man leaves hie cheerful
couch before the rooster crows; what
wonder that he has a grouch as he puts
on his clothes? They're colder than
the law allows, with ice along eacn hem
and he must go and milk the cow at 5
o'clock A. M. Down to the artic barn
he goes, and packs his frosted; and bos-
sy biffs him on the nose with her long
frozen tail; his language would the dead
arouse -each cussword is a gem; I weep
for him who milks the cows at 5 o'clock
A. M. Talk not of hardship or of woe,
ye who at ease recline, till ye have sat,
in sleet and snow, to milk the spotted
kine When old King Winter doth car-
euse with ice -work diadem, shed tears
or hint who milks the cows at 5 o'clock

A DYSPEPTIC
Forced to Live on Stale Bread and
Porridge.
"FRUIT -A TIVES" CURED HIM
Avostnwrn, N. B., October, 25th.
"I have been a great sufferer from
Indigestion for fifteen years. I was
forced to deny myself all such hearty
foods as beans, meats, potatoes and
could not drink tea or coffee. or the
past two years, I lived on porridge,
stale bread, etc. I had treatment froth
two doctors, and tried nearly every
kind of medicine, but got worse,
"Finally I saw a testimonial of
"Fruit -a -Jives" and concluded to give
them a trial. I took nearly four boxes
of "Fruit -a -Lives" and they ha; a made
me feel like a new man. I can eat all
kinds of hearty foods without suffering,
and am no longer constipated." •-,a

SAVAGE FISH.
Papal Have Been Known to Tear an
Alligator to Pieces.
The most savage and bloodthirsty
fish in all the waters of the earth are
the perai, declares Charles Livingston
Bull in "Under the hoof of the Jun-
gle." They .are from twelve to four-
teen inches in length and look not un-
like the northern bass, although more
powerfully built. They have been
known to attack an alligator, discover
a rent in the skin of the great reptile
and tear and devour him until notic-
ing but his bones and rough skin was
left.
The perai are silvery green In color.
Their thick, muscular jaws are armed
with rows of teeth like those of a
crosscut saw, sharp and triangular
and fitting exactly together. These
Jaws and teeth are most formidable,
being able to cut to pieces anything
less hard than the shell of a tortoise.
The lower lobe of the tail is longer
than the upper one and all the fins
short, giving the impression, as do the
thick, rounded body and head, of
great strength.
It is fortunate that in all the length
and breadth of northern South Amer-
ica these rapacious tittle murderers
are found only in widely scattered lo-
calities. Thus one pool will harbor a
great school of them. while for miles

Prairie Chickens.
The prairie chtcln-u was once so
abundant that in Kentucky, where the
slave owtnr•s fed it to the negroes,
they tired of it turd begged their mas-
ters not to stake them eat it. It was
commonly known as "nigger bird." To
tind the prairie chieken now one must
tramp the isolated regions of the west.
Even in Indian territory a bunter is
considered lucky if he even gets a
shot at one. 1 have heard the old set-
tlers say that the prairie chicken was
once more abundant than the English
sparrow is now. - Popular Science

FOUND AND LAST GOLD.
General Sutter Discovered the Praolou#
Metal in California.
"Tt is not generally known," said a
mineralogist, "that the discoverer of
gold in California was a Pennsylvanian
and at one time a resident of Phlladel-
plea. This distinguished pioneer lies
buried in the soil of Pennsylvania al•
most forgotten. He was General John
A. Sutter, a Swiss, who emigrated to
Philadelpbta in 1834 and became a elti.
zen of the commonwealth, His grave
is In the Mennonite burying groupds
et Lititz, Lancaster county, in which
village he spent the Last years of hie
life.
"General Sutter was born in 1808 In
Laden, Germany, near the borders of
Switzerland. Upon lila arrival in this,
country he spent some time in Phila•
delpbia, subsequently removing to the
vicinity of Lititz, where, in the midst
of relatives, he engaged In farming..
Possessed of a roving nature, however,
it was not long before he yearned to
explore the great unknown land be-
yond the Rockies. After many priva-
tions he reached California some time
in the early forties and staked a claim.
It was to the fall of 1848, after a heavy
rain, that, attracted by yellowish de-,
posits in a small stream, he made his
great discovery of the precious metal..
The news of his find spread rapidly,
and the following spring the great
rush from the east began.
"General Sutter amassed a consider-
able fortune through his gold diggings,
but lost most f
0 os o it through unfortu-
nate
r -
nate speculations. He returned to
Pennsylvania in 1871 and spent his
declining years in retirement, Living
on the pension of $250 a month voted
him by the California legislature. He
died June 18, 1880. Two of bis pall-
bearers were Generals John 0, Fre-
mont and Ambrose D. Burnside, who
had been bis friends in California!" -4
Philadelphia Record.
FATTED SHEEP.
Tails of the Syrian Breed Weigh Ten
to Fifteen Pounds.
It has been suggested that in the
sheep fattening process, which is com-
mon in the vicinity of Damascus, one
might be able to trace the original
meaning of the Biblical phrase, "the
fatted calf." Mrs. McIntosh thus de-
scribes the process in her book, "Da-
mascus:"
"The sheep differ from ours. When
we show pictures of the latter to the
natives they ask what animals they
are. They miss the enormous tails of
the Syrian sheep, in which the fat of
the body seems to concentrate and
which, after skinning and preparing,
often weigh ten to fifteen pounds.
"Early in the summer the head of
each family buys or sets apart one,
two or three sheep, according to his
rank in life or his wealth. The wom-
en and children devote themselves
with great zeal to fattening these
sheep. The children fill large baskets
with mulberry leaves and carry them
to their mothers. These several times
a day and also In the night take lit- 4.
tle wooden stools and sit by the sheep,
With one hand they keep the sheep's +
mouth open; with the outer they cram 4'
in the leaves, forcing them dowu the
throat.
"Twice a day the sheep are led to
the village fountain to drink, and their
coats are frequently washed. About
the end of September the work of the
women and children comes to an end.
The sheep have grownso fat they
cannot stand up. They are then killed.
Their flesh is boiled with spices and
put into pots for winter use. This
mincemeat is eaten as a relish at fes-
tivities.
