Each gets what he orders, but the law steps in to say that one must not pay for the others. Therefore, with mutual consent, each pays for his own drink, or drinks, in- stead of each "standing treat,” and thus equally dividing the expense. The solitary drinker is not molested. The prohibition of treating will not prevent -two or three friends, or half a dozen from passing an evening in the bar to- gether, or sitting clown for a jamboree. All that is imposed is that each man must bear his own expenses. In the majority of cases the expense end will work very much the same as if there were no anti -treating law. - Peterboro Review, Con. Mr. Bennett, of Calgary, says that the Canadian West is largely peopled by American farmers, who have been taught to hate Wall street and the East, and who think that the Canadian West may be similarly dominated by "big interests" in the East. Mr. Ben- nett and the journals which support him think that the remedy lies in stern- ly suppressing all talk about big inter- ests. Our opinion is that the remedy lies in sternly restraining the big inter- ests, and not allowing them to domin- ate either East or West. If the big interests are not abusing their powers, more talk will do no harm. If the big interests are abusing their powers, the sound policy is to attack the abuse, not to say "hush" to everybody who com- plains of it. For our part, we welcome the sturdy American farmers, who are thoroughly imbued with the idea of asserting their rights against Wall street, and every institution that cop- ies Wall Street methods. — Toronto Star. Wild Oats and False Wild Oats. According to a bulletin recently is- sued by the Seed Branch of the De- partment of Agriculture at Ottawa, there is a type of more or less harmless Wild Oat that is frequently confused with the true Wild Oat which is recog- nized as being one of the worst of weeds. This publication, prepared by Mr. Norman Criddle, describes field ex- periments with these two plants and explains by means of charte and des- criptive matter their distinguishing characteristics. According to this authority, it is a comparatively simple matter to distinguish the two sorts in growing stage as the false variety shows the same manner of growth as the cultivated oat while the true Wild Oat exhibits a different habit. In the seed form, the difficulty of telling them apart is greater more especially in so far as some of the smaller varieties of the False Wild Oats are concerned. With the larger sorts, the difficulty of distinguishing them is more easy as an experienced eye will at once detect the False Wild Oat by its larger size and and its usual close resemblance to the cultivated variety in which it is found. Generally speaking too, the outer seed coat is more open in front with culti- vated forms and False Wild Oats so that the inner coat is broadly visible, whereas in Wild Oats, the edges of the outer coat almost meet. Readers ,interested in distinguishing Wild Oats from False Wild Oats would do well to write to the Publications Branch, Dept. of Agriculture, Ottawa, for a copy of Bulletin No. S, 7. Most women would rather be gossip- ed about than ignored, Burdock Blood Bitters CURES ALL SKIN DISEASES Any one troubled with any itching, burning, irritating skin disease can place full reliance on Burdock Blood Bitters to effect a cure, no matter what other remedies have failed. It always builds up the health and F'eength on the foundation of pose, rich 'rod i c n e Wood, and n 6 s quence elle carts it f.;a'Les are of a permanent and lasting nature. Mrs, Richard Confine, White Head, (Nits writes:---" I have been bothered with :.alt rheum on my hands for two years, :•:rd it itched so I did not know What to do. 1 trice. three doctors and even went to Montreal to the hospital without getting any relief. I was advised to try Murdock Blood Bitters, so I got three b,ttles, and before I had the second used I found a big change; now te-day I Am cared." Burdock Blood Bitters is manufactured Molly by The T.. Milburn Co., I,iniited, Toror;te, Oet. whiting, and one pound of glue; dis- solve the glue by soaking it well until sc,ftened,then hang it over a slow fire in a kettle immersed in a larger kettle containing boiling water, until dis- solved, before adding it to the lime. Stir this well, and add five gallons of hot water, stirring until thoroughly mixed; cover from dirt and let stand a few days. It should be put on the surface hot, and for this purpose it can be kept in a kettle or a portable furnace. One pint of the mixture will CON er a square yard if properly applied It answers as well as oil paint for brick or stone, and is much cheaper for outhouses, fences, walls etc. Med- ium shall brushes should be used, according to the neatness of the work required. Coloring matter may be used, making it any shade wanted, except green. which should not be used with lime, as the lime destroys the color, and the color has a bad effect on the white- wash making it crack and peel. This amount is for a large surface, but by keeping the proportions, a larger or smaller amount may be made. It is claimed that this will last twelve to twenty years. ATTACKING THE CLERGY. There has been too much slobber over John Jacob Astor, merely because he was a millionaire. The London Free Press even goes out of its way to attack the clergy on his account, in this rankly unjust paragraph; "Hardly could a cleryman be found who would consent to perform the marriage of the millionaire because his course did not conform to their ideas of what was right and what was wrong, but now that he has died a pathetic death he is suddenly revealed as a man of great courage, an author, an inventor, a philanthropist, and a general human benefactor. From Astor the American pulpit and press has turned to Ismay, upon whom they empty without mercy and apparently without justice, the vials of their wrath." This is equivalent to saying that the clergymen who denounced or refused to re -marry Mr. Astor were narrow-minded sensation -mongers. Look at the facts. The divorce was granted to Mrs. Astor because of her husbands breach of the moral law. It is the rule of more than one church that none of its ministers shall re -marry the guilty person in div- orce suit. Those clergymen who re- fused to perform the ceremony for Mr. Astor obeyed their church ordinances and honored the cloth. Col. Gracie, one of the survivers of the Titanic says that Mr. Aster asked to be allowed to accompany Mrs. Aster on a life boat but was refused by a ship officer.. After that, from all accounts, Astor helped women and children into the lifeboats and made himself useful. No doubt he met death bravely at the last moment, but no more bravely, so far as the world knows, than 1,600 other persons, that he should be singled out for special praise is merely a symp- tom of money worship and flunkeyism. —London Advertiser. WHERE DO YOU SHOP? Advertising brushes away cobwebs and dust, smartens shop windows and quickens the intelligence of salesmen. Advertising makes the merchant think of yotf—of your wants and needs; makes him anxious to serve to your liking and advantage. Advertising keeps stock from having birthdays. Advertising acquaints you with new things, and so brightens your home, your life, your person. Advertising keeps a business from growing lazy and stupid. Advertising injects good red blood into the arteries of a business, and keeps it healthful and active. Shop where your wants and needs are uppermost in the mind of the mer- chant. Shop in the store which reflects you, where you dominate. Shop where your money returns to you in better goods, better values, better service. Shun the shop that is dumb and dark and dreary; kee; away from the shop that never speaks to you, never smiles at you, Stever bothers about you. Reward by your custom the merch- ant who lives to serve you, and who is doing his utmost to build up this com- munity, who takes you into his confid- ence by means of advertifiements in your local newspaper. They are candid with you. The most progressive business men in any town are those who talk to the public through the newspapers. Lame baek is nsually caused by rheum- atism of the mspeles of the back for which you wil find nothing better than Chamberlain's Liniment. For sale by all dealers. (From the TIMES of May 6, 1892.)

Text of the Lesson, Luke vi, 27-38s Rom. xiii, 8-10—Memory Verses, 27, 23 ---Golden Text, Rom. xiii, 9 --Com mentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The topic of this lesson is "Love," and the pattern is "the love of God.' At first sight the teaching is mos extraordinary and tate practice seem- ingly impossible and beyond all reason. (Great grace might enable us to love our euetuies, do good to those who bate ua, bless those who curse us and pray for Buell as despitefully use us, but when it comes to lending without hoping for a return, giving to every one that asks and letting the 1511111 that takes your cloak have your coat also it sloes look like a gond time for tramps, impostors, thieves and robbers. We know that the righteous Lord loveth righteous- ness, 0 a anything unrighteous Ho would not do nor risk us to do, so we must prayerfully wait upon IIim for clearer light upon this teaching. Ac- cording to verse 35 and Matt. v, 45, the object is that we may be mani- festly "the children of the Highest," "the children of our Fattier which le in heaven." It is therefore not a matter of what is expedient or ac- cording to reason, but how can we as the children of God make people to know our Father, God. lie was teach- ing Ills disciples (verse 20i, those who had received IIim as the Christ, the Son of Uod, and had left all to follow 111m, those whom Ole was to leave in the world in Ills stead, that because of them the world might believe and know the only living and true God and Jesus Christ, whore He sent int* the world to manifest Him (John xvii, 3, 11, 21, 23h It Is truly a higt., holy, heavenly calling to represent God and Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and be so alive to their interests that we shall be wholly dead to our own. The love of God and of Jesus Christ is the greatest thing we ever heard of, and there are no more wonderful state, ments concerning it than John ill, 16; I John I11, 16. Put with these "God cominendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." "In this was manifested the love of God toward ns because that God sent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him." "Ho spared not His own Son, but delivered IIim up for us all." "Christ loved the church 'and gave Himself for it." "The church of God which He bath purchased with His own blood." "The Son of God loved me and gave Him- self for fine" (Rom. v, 8; rill, 32; 1 John iv, 9, 10; Eph. v, 25; Acts xx, 28; Gal. fl, 30). In the light of such tremendous statements cousider the treatment that He received when here in humiliation and even as 11e taught our lesson of today. He was in the world which He had made, but it knew Him not; He came unto His own special people Israel, but they received. IMim not. Their rulers had no kind words or thoughts for Him. They said that He had a devil and was mad and that He deceived the people, and in their hatred they finally killed Etna, accusing Him falsely and giving Him no semblance of a fair trial (John 1, 10, 11; vii, 12, 20; vill, 52; x. 20). Yet He bore it all patiently and did not talk back nor strike back, though He might have swept them off the earth with a look or a word, as He will do at His coming in glory to set up His king- dom and share it with His own re- deemed ones (isa. xi, 4; II•Thess. 11, 8; Col. Hi, 4; Rev. lel, 21). Now, considering that by such love and by the sacrifice of Himself He has at such infinite cost and by such suffering, bearing our sins in His own body, made all who receive Him chil- dren of God and joint heirs with aim - kelt, partakers of His kingdom and glory, does it not look h good bit easier to love, to bless, to help others for His sake, to give, to lend, to do good, hoping for nothing again, to serve those who cannot nerve us in re- turn? Do we not feel like saying RS Mephibosheth said of Ziba, "Yea, let him take all, forasmuch as my Lord the King is come again" (II Sam. =ix, 80). Our Lord never encouraged wrong- doing, and°we may be sure that He would not have us do anything to en- courage injustice and oppressfion, theft or robbery or idleness or anything of the spirit that would wrongfully take the property of another. But He would have us show in our daily life that we have such treasure in Himself and in His kingdom that we are ready to ase all present things for the good of others if only we tnay win them tot; Him, bearing meekly any Ines or erose, for His sake.
