LIBERAL VICTORY IN QUEBEC.
Liberalism in Quebec was never
more virile and alive than it is to -day.
In spite of a bitter campaign in wbich
Nationalists and Conservatives were
aided by the Ultramontanes and by
ample funds and Ministerial campaign-
ers from the Federal forces, the Gov-
ernment of Sir Lomer Gouin was re-
turned to power last week with an in-
creased majority. His policy in regard
to better educational facilities, in re-
gard to good roads, in behalf of agri-
culture, colonization and every other
progressive measure was endorsed by
the electorate of the Province, and he
goes back to office stronger than ever.
In the last House of seventy-four
members the Opposition held sixteen
seats, while in the new House of eighty-
one they hold but seventeen. This pal-
try gain of one seat is offset by the
loss of six out of seven of the new
seats added.
The sweeping victory of the Liberals
in Quebec is taken at Ottawa as a clear
indication of what the Province will do
for the Liberals when Sir Wilfrid Laur-
ier leads them in the next Federal
fight.
The Dominion Government gave all
the aid it was able to the Conservative -
Nationalist Opposition, led by Tellier
and Lavergne, the French Ministers,
Messrs. Monk, Nantel and Pelletier ap-
peared upon the platform against
Premier Gouin, and through patronage
did all they could to influence the re-
sult The campaign against Sir Lomer
Gouin was liberally financed from Ot-
tawa, and the decisive defeat is a great
disappointment to the Government.
It is taken as an indication that Que-
bec is solidly Liberal, and will go so
when the Dominion election is held,
three years hence.
In Ottawa the Liberals were jubilant
over the result in Quebec and the Gov-
ernment correspondingly depressed.
OPPORTUNITIES AT HOME.
It is a sorry day for a young man who
cannot see any opportunities where he
is, but who only sees chances some -
'where else.
Years ago some Brazilian shepherds
organized a party to go to California to
dig gold, and tcok along a handful of
translucent pebbles to play checkers
with on the voyage. After arriving in
San Francisco, and after they had
thrown most of the pebbles away, they
discovered that they were diamonds.
They hastened back to Brazil, only to
find that the mines had been taken up
by other prospectors and sold to the
Government.
A Baltimore society woman lost a
valuable diamond bracelet at a ball.
and supposed it was stolen from the
pocket of her cloak. Years afterward
poor and distressed, she washed the
steps of the Peabody Institute, ponder-
ing how to get money to buy food.
One day she cut up an old, worn-out
ragged cloak, she discovered the dia-
mond bracelet. During all her poverty
she was worth $3,500, but did not know
it.
Many of us who think we are poor
are rich in opportunities if we could
only see them, in possibilities all about
us, in faculties worth more than dia-
mond bracelets. In our large Eastern
cities it has been found that at least
ninety-four out of every hundred found
their first fortune at home or near at
hand in meeting common everyday
wants.
INE POOR DYSPEPTIC
I Suffers Untold Agony
After Every Meal.
Nearly everything that enters a weak,
dyspeptic stomach acts as an irritant;
hence the difficulty of effecting a cure.
Burdock Blood Bitters will relieve all
the distressing symptoms of dyspepsia
and in a short time effect a cure.
Mrs. F. C. Gross, Berlin, Ont., writes:
--. I have been troubled with my stomach
for the last seven years and tried all kinds
of medicine for it, but none of them ever
aired me, for as soon as I would quit
using any of them, the same old trouble
would come back. bast fall I was ad -
'ed to try Burdock Blood Bitters, which
1 lid, and used four bottles, and now feel
.:,, strong I can do all my house work
r i :cly and can eat almost anything with -
sat it affecting the itt any way.
"Oar bey is also using it; lie always
• ,:nlilained of pain in his stomach and
all over, like rheumatism, and at the age
of ten had to stay home from school. He
lt.,.n't quite used two bottles yet and is
(seller; good, can attend school regularly
era eats heartily."

HORSESHOE SUPERSTITION.
It is not difficult to understand why
lovers of horses came to adopt the
horseshoe as a tallisman against mis-
fortune, says the London Globe. Hors-
es were thought to be especially liable
to the machinations of witches. This
fact stands out in all the record of the
Lancashire witches and other evil
hags.
If precautions were not taken these
mischievious witches would ride the
horses at dead of night over the hills,
and when the owner came to the stables
in the morning he would find his ani-
mals in a lather and utterly exhausted.
A horseshoe fastened over the stable
door was believed to ward off such
evil.
There is no superstition more deeply
ingrained in all classes of society than
that which is attached to the horseshoe.
As an emblem of good fortune it holds
pride of place. Nelson did not disdain
to nail a horseshoe to the mast of the
Victory. In the early part of the nine-
teenth century, the horseshoe was very
highly prized, and there were few Lon-
don mansions where it was not display-
ed, while humbler folks were at great
pains to fasten it over their doors.
Horses were not shod either by the
Greeks or Romans. The ancients were
content with wrapping fibre cloth a-
round the feet of their horses in cold
weather, or when it was necessary to
pass through miry districts. Instead
of troubling about horseshoes they de-
voted their attention to hardeninn the
hoofs of their mounts.
Nero, who ever strove to outdistance
his contemporaries, caused his horses
to be shod with silver, while his wife's
were resplendent with gold, but in no
case were nails driven into the hoofs.
The practice of shoeing horses by driv-
ing nails into the hoofs was introduced
into England by William the Conquer-
or, but such a practice did not make
any headway for centuries.
The Indians, who had no superior as
horsemen, never thought of shoeing
their mounts in any way, and yet they
were capable of performing remark-
able journeys over most difficult coun-
try. The Sandown Derby was won by
a horse running in a natural state. The
race was run twice owing to the fact
that three horses made a dead beat on
the first occasion. Prior to the second
attempt the owner of Marden gave or-
ders for the light plates to be removed
from the hoofs of his nominee, with the
result that Marden gain a comfort-
able victory. Even at the present day
in Japan the modern horseshoe finds a
strong competitor in the old fashioned
sandals made of straw which are fas-
tened to the horse's hoofs after the
manner of equine "cricket shoes".
The Burdens Of Age.
The kidneys seem to be about the
first organ to wear out and to fail to
properly perform their work. The re-
sult is weak, lame, aching back, rheu-
matic pains and failing eyesight. Many
peo ple of advanced years have recovered
health and comfort by using Dr. Chas-
e's Kidney -Liver Pills. They ensure
the healthful action of liver, kidneys
and bowels.
CROPS AND LIVE STOCK.
A bulletin of the Census and Statis-
tics Office issued last week makes the
following report on the crops and live
stock of Canada.
The area sown to winter wheat last
fall was reported as 1,097,900 acres of
which 797,200 acres were in Ontario and
300,700 acres in Alberta. From re-
ports of correspondents at the end of
April it is estimated that about 31.50
p. c. of this area has been winter kill-
ed, the proportion being 28.72 p. c. in
Ontario and 38.50 p. c. in Alberta.
This represents a total deduction from
the area sown of about 345,000 acres
(229,000 acres in Ontario and 116,000
acres in Alberta). The average condi-
tion of winter wheat on April 30 was
72.62 of a standard (71.24 p. c. in On-
tario and 76.80 p. c. in Alberta). From
these figures it is calculated that the
yield per acre from winter wheat in
1912 is likely to be about 20 bushels per
acre or 13 p. c. less than the average
yield of the three years 1909-11, viz:
23.33 bushels per acre, provided that
average conditions prevail between
now and harvest.
In the Maritime provinces spring
seeding on April 30 had only begun
here and there, most of the ground be-
ing still under snow. Very little pro-
gress had been made by the same date
in Quebec the amount of seeding done
representing not more than about 3 or
4 per cent. In Ontario about 15 p. c.
of the total seeding was completed,
but this applies chiefly to the western
and southern parts of the provinces the
wet condition of the ground coupled
with cold weather and the small am-
ount of fall ploughing completed last
year has caused seeding operations to
be somewhat backward. In Manitoba
50.13, in Saskatchewan 71.54 and in Al-
berta 61.26 p. c. of the seeding of
spring wheat was completed by the end
ef April and of total seeding done the
percentage proportions were Manitoba
36.63, Saskatchewan 49.30 and Alberta
51.50.
Nearly 14 per cent. of the hay and
clover i ender is1* a .been Winter )rill.

WAS ASTOR JUST?
The London Daily Mail, commenting
editorially upon the stipulation in Col.
Astor's will that his widow must not
remarry without losing her inheritance,
asks if it is just that a man should be
able after death to impose restraint of
this kind. The Daily Mail adds:
"The law takes upon itself to void
contracts in restraint of trade, under
the Mortmain act it imposes restric-
tions on the alienation of lands and the
disinheritance of lawful heirs under the
guise of charitable bequests. Should
the law be more indulgent when it is a
question of restraint of remarriage?
"A man may be a selfish animal, but
cases are comparatively few in which
he, of malice aforethought, prevents
his widow from paying him the compli-
ment of enjoying again the happiness
which he gave her in his own lifetime.
"There are not many who, like Sir
Willoughby Patterne in 'The Egotist,'
seek N ictims for their egotism by insist-
ing on claims that are voided by death.
It is more often in romance than in real
life that the restraint of 'the dead
hand' is pressed to a penalty, but the
principle is there, and the penalty has
legal sanction for many women, and
even for those who are willing to en-
dure the burden of a post-mortem com-
pliment this is enough to range them
against it."
It would surprise you to know of the
great good that is being done by Cham-
berlain's Tablets. Darius Downey, of
Newburg Junction, N. B., writes, 'My
wife has been using Chamberlain's Tab-
lets and finds them very effectual and
and doing lots of good," If you have any
trouble with your stomach or bowels
give them a trial. Sold by all dealers.
A Horse Case.
Kincardine Review: A case of consid-
erable interest to horsemen was tried by
the Division Court here on Thursday.
William Arnold had bought a mare from
Robt. Lowry, of Huron, and sold her to
Wm. Dyer, of Kincardine Tp. Mr.
Dyer complained that she was a kicker
and took her back and notified Mr.
Lowry declined to do so and Mr. Arnold
entered suit, He sold the mare by
auction for $150 and the action was to
recover the difference. The evidence
with respect to guarantee was conflict-
ing. The jury which was empanelled
to decide the ease failed to agree. Judge
Klein therefore took it out of their hands
and gave Mr. Arnold judgement for;48
and cost.
THE LOST LEADER.
(Browning Up-to-date.)
Just for a handful of silver she left us,
Just for a feather to stick in her hat,
Neighbor next door was the one who
bereft us;
Offered her two more a week -oh,
the cat!
They with their gold to give, also no
children;
Two maids, a butler, and Sunday
night free,
So much was theirs, oh why did they
steal her?
Why did they take my one jewel from
me?
We that had trained her to cook, clean,
and iron,
Fed her policemen, to brothers, a
cousin,
Learned all her brogue and subdued her
quick temper,
Made her a servant to choose from a
dozen.
Swede girls we've tried often, Dutch
cooks and Dagoes;
Watched them break all our cut glass
and depart.
She, alone, built a light dream for an
omelet;
She through her biscuits, alone,
reached our heart.

III Reports Travel.
Starting the .rumor of wrong -doing
or evil character against a man with-
out knowing of a certainty whereof
one speaks, is itself a species of wrong-
doing hard to characterize in sufficient-
ly severe terms. The ill report, often
unfounded or exaggerated, travels so
far and so fast that the truth that
might correct it cannot quite overtake
it. Don't blacken a man until yoli are
sure he deserves it, and then don't do
it until you are called of heaven to the
job. -Exchange.

Lesson IX. -Second Quarter, For
June 2, 1912.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Matt. vi, 1.18.
Memory Verses, 7, 8 -Golden Text,
Matt, vi. R. V. -Commentary Pre-
pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
We have our choice today of the reg-
ular lesson in order or a special Lesson
on the Holy Spirit from Acts 11, 1.11;
but• inasmuch as only by the Spirit can
the teaching of the regular lesson on
almsgiving. prayer and fasting be put
in practice, we wilt take the regular
portion with a look at the whole chap-
ter, as we do not seem to have the rest
lit the cbaptel in any subsequent tes-
ion. The heart ot the whole Bible
,renis to be "the kingdotn of God and
His righteousness' (verse 33). The
Lord .Jesus came to set up this kingdom
on the earth. but as they rejected It
:Ind Him It will not be set up till Re

who become children of God by recely-
tug .!esus Christ and joint heirs with
Elim should walk worthy of His king-
dom and glory while they wait for 1t
1 Tbess. 11, 12). Their motto should
ever and always be, "First the king-
ium ot God " Then there would be no
anxious thought about aught else, for
He girds the assurance that an will be
provided by our leather, who knoweth
all our need tverses 3!.32). Whether itt
he the service or prayer or fasting of
the daily lite, there Is one principle to
govern all. It must be unto the Father,
who seem in secret, who looketti upon
the heart and to whom all things are
no ked and open. "Not as pleasing men,
but God who tt•ieth our hearts" (1
Mess, 11, 4), is a principal always to be
observed 'In contrast to that the most
religious people ot our Lord's time did
everyttiiug to be seen or men (Matt.
5i. It was even so in rhe days of
the prophets. and a speclat feature of
the last days of this age wilt be a turn-
ing away from the truth and a form
of godliness without any power (Isa.
xxix. 13; Ezek. xxxiii, 31; 11 Tim. 111,
1.5; tv, 3, 4). In each of the three para-
graphs ot our lesson there Is a contrast
between a present reward or approval
ot men and a future reward from God
Himself, spoken of in verse 20 as
"treasure in heaven." We cannot serve
God and Mammon or God and the
devil, for the friendship of this world
is enmity with God, and that which Is
Highly esteemed among men is about=
illation In the sight of God (verse 24;
Luke xvt, 15; Jas. iv, 4). There was only

pleased the Father, but He desires to
lice His life in us and will 1f we yield
fully to film )John vili, 20; 1! Cor. iv,
10. 111. He was manifestly approved of
God by the miracles and wonders and
sights which God d1d by Him (Acts it
_2). Our instructions are to study, to
show ourselves approved unto God,
workmen that need not be ashamed
(II Tim. 11, 15). This can be done only
as we are Spirit filled like the disciples
on the day of Pentecost, and like them
we must be willing to be misunder-
stood and even counted drunken or be-
side ourselves for His sake. The old
word to Abraham is always helpful,
"Walk before Me and be thou sincere"
,Gen. xvil, 1, margin), and also the oft
repeated words in Leviticus, "unto the
Lord" and "before the Lord." Con-
cerning giving to any good work, the
motive of the donor is everything. If
the gift is wholly and only "unto the
Lord," desiring only lits approval, thea
it does not matter it people do know,
of it. It should be the love of Christ
constraining, and according to II Sam.
xxiv, 24, I will not offer unto the Lord
of that which doth cost me nothing,
and also according to I Citron. xxlx, 14,
"All things come of thee, and thine
own do we give thee." Concerning
prayer, it is real access to God by Jeans
Christ, remembering I John r, 14, Iii,
"This is the confidence that we haat in
Him, that if we ask anything accord-
lag to U1g will He heareth us, and if
we know that He hear us,•whateverwe
ask, we knot► that we have the petitions
we desired of Him." Ad to this forme!
prayer which Be gave at this time and
which we spoke of in a former lesson
on the beatitudes, the late Dr. Saphir
said of it: "It is a !nodal prayer and
as such commends itself to the most
superficial glance -approves itself at
once to the conscience of man. The
prayer is short, that it may be quickly
learned, easily remembered and fre•
quently used, but it contains all things
pertaining to lite and godliness. In its
simpiicity it seems adapted purposely
for the weakness of the inexperienced
and ignorant, and yet none cansay
that he 14 familiar with the heights
and depths which it reveals and with
the treasures of wisdom it contains"
In verses 14, 15, of our lesson note that

is not a condition of salvation. but a0.
