C., that Liberals and Conservatives alike are openly expressing their disgust. The victim this time is W. C. Cowell, Dom- inion land agent at Kamloops. Accord- ing to The Kamloops Inland Sentinel (Lib.) the dismissal of 141r. Cowell, while deprecated by the local Conser- vative organization, has been ardently desired by the local member in the Pro- vincial Legislature, J. P. Shaw. Mr. Cowell, knowing that an effort was being made to bring about his dismissal, asked the head of his de- partment to afford him an opportun- ity of defending himself in any inves- tigation of charges that might be made. This was promised, although if there was any investigation, the promise was not carried out. On the contrary, Mr. Cowell was summarily dismissed, not even being accorded the courtesy of a month's notice. The fact that some tims ago Mr. Cowell was promised an increase of salary seems to show that his services were appreciated by the department at Ottawa. The Kamloops Standard, Conserva- tive, commenting upon the piece of axe - wielding says: "We understand that W. C. Cowell, chief of the local Dominion Land agency, has been relieved of his posi- tion here. Irrespective of politics, Mr. Cowell has been a faithful servant to the Government, and Conservatives and Liberals alike are loud in their de- nunciation of this act of the depart- ment. There has never been a better or more capable official and Kamloops generally will deeply regret to see him leave his office here." The Canadian Courier, which has al- ways been a sturdy advocate of civil service reform, cites the case of Wm. Ireland, late Collector of Customs at Parry Sound, referred to in these col- umns some days ago, as an instance of the outside civil service being bedevilled by political patronage. It says: "What a travesty! A man, who four years ago sold his business to en- ter the service and who is now too old to build up another, is summarily dis- missed and left stranded. There was apparently no demand for his `removal' and he claims that four-fifths of the people in Parry Sound admit that he has taken no part in politics during his term in office and that his administra- tion has been locally satisfactory." And yet Mr. Borden in opposition declared for civil service reform! CATTLE PRICES IN CHICAGO AND TORONTO. The Galt Reporter contrasts a top price of $7 for cattle in Toronto with one of $10.50 in Chicago on the same day. "Possibly," it says, "the Farmers' Sun of Toronto will drag th its Reci- procity arguments again to show wbat our cattle raisers are losing with the Chicago market closed against them. But the choice steers offered at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago are the choicest of the choice. They are care- fully fed with the object of putting them on the market in the prime condi- tion That the leading hotel and restaur- ant men of the big cities demand. In Canada we do such feeding for our winter stock fairs. Across the lines it is a business conducted with more or less regularity by cattle raisers who cater to particular customers not above A VETERAN OF THE BOER WA R TESTIFIES AS TO THE EFFICACY OF BURDOCK BLOOD BITTERS FOR THE CURE OF BOILS Mr. D. M. hfeBlaiiie, hoaxers Falx. Ont., writes: ---"It is with pleasure I testify to the sterling qualities of your Purd.lck Blood Bitters. After the Boer War, through "ti.a which I served ` k ery in the 1st 1. t., I suffered from boils, con etii.'isc,n, and sick heedaehee, and tris,::a,t:nc preparations, but got relief /roe) vane till an old comrade of mine got me to try the Burdock Blood Fitters ' c, 'l t •..1 I relief ' as gettop at it mildly.

Milburn Co., Zile tied, '1'4 r. iatu, Ont. paying a premium for the beef they are after." The Reporter casts an unmerited slur on Canadian cattle feeders. Poor cat- tle are offered on the Chicago market as well as here. Good cattle are offer- ed on both markets. But neither for good or poor eattle is the Toronto price equal to that paid in Chicago for ani- mals of similar classes. A week ago Tuesday the top price for the best cat- tle offered in Toronto was $7. On the same day the Drovers' Journal of Chi- cago quoted a top of $10.55 in the lat- tex• city. Even the fifth grade in the Chicago offerings of Tuesday week, "medium to good short feds," sold at $7.10 to $8, or a dollar above Toronto's best. Will the Reporter have the hardihood to assert that the feeders of Waterloo are capable of producing something that ranks only as inferior to the fifth grade in the Chicago ofrer- ings? Still more convincing are the facts contained in last week's market report in The Sun. It was there stated, on the authority of the Breeder's Gazette of Chicago, that Canadian cattle, not the best that Ontario is capable of pro- ducing, but ranchers from Alberta that had been carried through winter on stacks of spoiled wheat, sold recently in Chicago at $9 or two dollars above the highest price paid in Toronto. These cattle, after paying a duty of 27 1-2 per cent., made more profit for their owners than could have been ob- tained by shipping them to the free market of Toronto. There can ,be no denying the fact that free access to the American mar- ket, which might have been secured by the acceptance of Reciprocity last Sep- tember, would be a great boon to Cana- dian cattle men. No one really conser- vent with the situation would have the hardihood to attempt to controvert a fact that is writ so plain in the market reports from day to day. -Sun. A Red Fox Farm. A man down in Prince Edward Island is reported to be making satisfactory profits out of the breeding of black foxes. Another man, whose home is in Brooklyn, N. Y., has a fox farm in Pennsylvania where he specializes in red foxes. This man has made a science of the breeding of foxes. He has ex- perimented with silver -tipped foxes and with black foxes, but he believes that the red -coated, finely -marked reynards give the best results in this climate. A Jamaican nego is the active manager of the fox farm. He has brought the captives into a remarkable state of tameness. They show absolutely no fear of him and wait to be petted when he enters the runways at feeding time. He has trained several of them in much the same manner as a person would train a dog, and they have been taught to run after a ball and fetch it back, receiving in payment an apple or a car- rot. Unlike their brothers bred in the woods the tame foxes chew meat. Rice pudding is their favorite and their prin- cipal diet It not only agrees with them according to theJamaican manager, but it makes their skins fine and glossy. Morning, noon and night the foxes are fed. The older animals gather almost to the minute of meal time around the feeding boxes, and when the deeper ap- pears they almost knock him over in their anxiety to get at the rice pudding. Shelters of concrete have been erected for the animals. Beds of straw are pro- vided in the shelters, but they shun them for their own bunks, made in the artificial caverns and the clumps of woods. BEAUTY ODDS AND ENDS. There are several important things for a woman to consider if she is de- sirous of making the most of her looks, writes Nancy Hollis Gardiner. To il- lustrate: Why does miladi use a staring white Powder when her skin is a pretty olive shade? It simply calls attention to the fact that she powders, whereas if she had the wisdom to use a powder of a flesh or brunette tint, it, being only a shade or two lighter than the skin, would have the effect of making it look fairer, without loudly advertising the fact that powder was used. The same does not apply to the fair - skinned maiden with eyes as blue as summer skies, and with ruddy, glisten- ing tresses. White powder is the thing for her. ,es If there is a maiden among my read- ers who has flaming crimson cheeks, and likes them not, let me suggest that she powder them over heavily reith a delicate pink powder, as this will Nne down the redness of the cheeks.eePttts not the same apply to a "jolly red nose?" queries es a fe ' nrne voice. ce. It does, which piece of news should make your heart thrill with joy. If one has a dark skin, it is a good idea to dress the neck carefully. A great many women of brunette color- ! i ung make the mistake of wearing a • dead white collar, thereby causing the ° skin to look several shades darker than it really is, which is generally the re- verse of becoming. What they should do is to weer toilers of cream white, as this color blends nicety with an Olive skin.

The Salvation Ariny band was out serenading some of the citizens of the town on Monday evening last. Mr. R. Mainprice has purchased Mr. H. Clark's residence on Patrick street and now occupies it. Mr. J. B. Cummings is having his house and shop on Victoria street painted, which will add greatly to the appearance of the same. On Monday evening last Miss E. L. Lloyd entertained her Sunday School class at her residence. A very pleas- ant evening was spent in game, etc. On Saturday last a game of football was played on the park between the juniors of Teeswater and the juniors of this town, resulting in favor of the Wingham team by a score of 1 to 0. A goodly number of our townspeople attended the Caledonian games at Luck - now, on Wednesday last. Rev. E. W. Hughes, of this town, will conduct the harvest thanksgiving services in St. Stephen's church, Gorrie and St. James' church, Wroxeter, on Sunday, September 25th. Rev. John Scott, 1.1. A., of St. Marys, formerly pastor of the Methodist church of this place, preached the Edu- cational sermons in the Methodist church here last Sunday and was listen- ed to with great interest by large aud- iences. The harvest thanksgiving and anni- versary services of St. Paul's church will be held on Sunday, the 25th inst. It is probable that the Rev. J. A. Moor - house will be the preacher. Messrs. Mahler Bros. have commenc- ed operation at their apple evaporat- ing factory. Next Sunday instead of the usual re- view in the Presbyterian Sabbath School of this place, will have an address given by Dr. McDonald, M. P. on the all im- portant subject of'Temperance. BORN.

CLEANING HELPS. It is recommended to keep a cup of granulated sugar on the sink shelf, and while the hands are covered with soapsuds, rub a pinch of it well over them, in order to whiten and soften. Any scratches on polished furniture can be lessened, and often wholly re- moved, by laying a cloth saturated with linseed oil on them and letting it re- main for several hours, then polishing. Rub the creaking doors and drawers with hard soap, and they will run smoothly. This is more cleanly than grease. For the clogged drain pipe, pour down the drain a strong, hot solution of either sal soda or copperas, allowing one-fourth pound of copperas to two quarts of boiling water. Repeat if necessary. If your garment is not too badly scorched (which means very bad in - peed) the short-cut to remedying the damage is to hang the scorch in the hot sunshine all day. A short-cut for cleaning is to keep a lot of newspapers hung on a hook near the stove or sink, and use it as a cloth for cleaning the range, or wiping off greasy articles, dirt, soot, or rust. For polishing the range nothing is better than newspapers. For cleaning greasy dishes, pots, pans, use the Crumpled paper before the dish rag. If the ceiling can be washed, the smoke can be removed by washing with a cloth wrung out of a weak solution of sal soda and water. It can be dry- cleaned by rubbing with cloths dipped in corn meal or wheat bran, For destroying ants, it is recommend- ed to dilute a nickel's worth of potas- sium cyanide with a pint of water; early in the morning, while the colony is at home, or in the late evening, pour a few drops of the solution down the main entrance of each colony, and the work of extermination will be sure, if properly applied. To Check a Cold. It is easy to check a cold if you bei gin in time. Frequent doses of Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine keep the cough loose, allay the in- flammation and so prevent it spreading to the bronchial tubes and Iuners. Mrs. S. M. Moore, Shortreed, B. O., writes: "1 wish'to state my gratitude for Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and Turpen- tine, for it cured a cold which a friend said would soon put me in the grave." Railway Building in Algoma. The great stretch of territory north of ther eat lakes, . and extending o f from Lake Nipissing to Pott Arthur, pro- mises soon to be as fully served by railways as older Ontario itself was forty years ago. The C. P. R. has for over auarter of a century traversed the district from end to end, and inside' of two, or at most three years, two other lines --the C. N. R. and Grand Trunk )acific--will parallel the original tranecontinental through this broken territory. In addition to all this a line extending from the Soo northward now makes Teacher Cured of Barber's Itch Barber's Itch is a form of Ring- worm, ingworm, which, when once started, is most annoying and unsightly, and most difficult to cure. But you can cure Barber's Itch and keep the skin wonderfully soft and healthy by applying Dr. Chase's Oint- ment. Just read what this teacher has to say about the healing power of Dr. Chase's Ointment. Mr. Chas. C. Poirier, Upper Cara- quet, N.B., writes :-"Two years ago while teaching at Shippegan I caught Barber's Itch. A friend told me Dr. Chase's Ointment would cure me, as it had him. "Not only was I cured by that single box, but it also cured. two of my pupils, and this too quickly to be believed. One of them, a girl, had a running sore on the chin, which the doctor had tried in vain to cure. The other had a sore on the ear; water running out of it all the time. I can certify to the cure of these cases." Dr. Chase's Ointment, 60e a. box, at all dealers, or Edmanson, Bates & Co., Limited, Toronto. direct connection between the Soo and the main line of the C. P. R. north of Michipicoten, ,and will shortly be ex- tended still further north to connect with the other two transeontinentals. Another north -to -south line will be completed in a short time. This is one extending from Little Current an Mani- toulin Island to Sudbury, and thence to Porcupine. The section between Little Current and Sudbury, belonging to a private company, will be completed by next spring, and it is announced that the Temiskaming and Northern On- tario Railway, operated by the Ontario Government, will extend their railway building so as to connect Sudbury with Porcupine.

Memory Verses, 41, 42 -Golden Text, John vi, 35 -Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns, The words of verse 30 are most prac- tical and remind us of our great priv- ilege of telling all that we do and teach to Jesus, receiving our messages from Him and trusting Him to work in us to will and to do of His good pleasure. It is the old lesson of Prov. ill, 0, "In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths," and tbe new one of Phil. iv, 0, 7. There is nothing like talking it all over with Him both before and after. I am al- ways reminded by this .verse in our lesson of n little book entitled "Tell Jesus," by Anna Shipton. The words "No leisure so much as to eat" (verse 311 give us some idea of His day by day busy, crowded full Iife, for others, seven days a week, even on the Sabbath day (Mark I, 21-31; Matt. xii, 12; John Ix. 4, 14), for he taught that it is lawful to do well on that also, Our own works or words are not lawful on that day (Ise. 13, 14). neither do they count at any time. "Come apart and rest awhile" does sound refreshing to a weary one, but we shall see how they rested. When the people knew that He had started across the sea they ran afoot out of all cities and outwent them, and when Jesus came He saw much people and was moved with compassion and received them and, as was his custom, spoke unto them of the kingdom of God and healed them that had need of healing (verses 33, 34; Luke Ix, 11). May the mention of the kingdom always lead us from the heart to say "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heav- en"' (Matt, vi, 10), for less than that will not be tbe kingdom of Cod. John tells us that it was Passover tiane, and that also suggests a phase of the king- dom, for at the East Passover Jesus said, "I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God" (Luke xxif, 10). That will be the time of Israel's restoration at the be- ginning of the millennial kingdom. As the day began to wear away the disciples came to Jesus, asking Him to send the multitudes away that they might buy themselves bread, and, to their astonishment, He said; "They need not depart. Give ye them to eat" To prove Philip IIe asked him, "Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?" For Ile Himself knew what ire would do, as Ire always does, for He is perfect in knowledge. and every purpose of iris shall lie performed (John vi, 5, 6; Job xxxvi, 4; Jer. 11, 23). Philip might wisely have replied, Lord, Thou knowest; Thou didst feed many thousands in the wilderness for forty years and there is nothing too hard for Thee (.Ter. xxxii, 17). But Philip knew neither his Lord nor himself. and on the night before the crucifixion Jesus had occasion to say to him, "IIare I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known Me, Phil- ip?" (John xlv, 0.) Philip's reply in our lesson story (.john vi, 7) shows that he was capable of and evidently did some mental figuring, but to him the case was hopeless. A ndrew, Sinton Peter's brother, some- how found out that there was a lad In the company who had five barley loaves and two small fishes, and he ventured to mention it, but with no hope that they would be of any service. He said. "What are they among so many?" (Dolan vi, 8, 9.) Jesus said, "Bring them hither to are." Just as He said concerning the lunatic boy at the foot of the mount of transfiguration, "Bring hlin hither to Mei" (Matt. x1v, 18; Xvil. 17).
