-Hamilton Herald. ` Although the
fate of assessment re-
form was apparently settled for the
present session of the legislature, at
least by the report of the special com-
mittee which heard evidence in Novem-
ber and December of last year, the Lib-
eral Opposition is determined that the
matter shall not rest there. Contin-
uing the debate on Mr. Billet's amend-
ment to the address ` in reply to the
speech from the Throne. Mr. N. W.
Rowell, leader of the Opposition, struck
hard at the inequalities of the present
assessment law. By convincing argu-
ments he exploded the idea that the
granting of local option to municipal-
ities would create the havoc that had
been predicted, by showing that rural
municipalities have now the right to
increase or reduce the statute labor tax
and cities could abolish altogether the
poll tax by-law. Admitting for the pur-
pose of argument that the system in
operation in the Western Provinces was
not immediately applicable to the con-
ditions of older Ontario, he pointed out
that Northern Ontario was a Province
in itself where only pioneer conditions
prevailed. The application of a land
tax alone in that country would not be
open to the objections that have been
raised in respect of the older parts of
the Province.
Christian Kloepfer. ex -M. P., of
Guelph, well-known in manufacturing
affairs, died after a week's illness, aged
65 years.
Loyalty that expends itself in flag-
waving appears to be very popular in
Canada, There was a good deal of flag-
waving in Vancouver when the Duke
and Duchess of Connaught visited the
prosperous port on the Pacific. Now
that the bills have come in and have
to be paid, those who did the work find
that they have to invoke the law to get
their just dues. Would'nt our loyalty
be of a snore sterling character if we
did a little less flag-waving and paid
for what we did do? -Medicine Hat Call.
Great Britain's gross national debt
under Liberal administration has been
steadily reduced since 1906, with the
result that by last year in six years a
reduction of $3,333,475,665 had been
made, or reduction at the rate of about
$55,579,277 per year. During the same
period the British navy has been paid
for out of current revenue and outstrip-
ping the naval growth of Europe, which
was borrowing for armament work, to
such an extent that Mr. Allen Baker, a
leading British M.P., while in Canada
last November, stated in the Toronto
Globe: "Not only in numbers, but
also in calibre of guns the British sea
^ power is simply overwhelming." That
is hardly a Weary Titan struggling al-
ong until he gets Mr. Borden's cheque
fol $35,0(100,000.
A fine cool afternoon, more typical of
winter than usual this year favored a
fashionable turnout for the opening of
the second session of Ontario's thir-
teenth Legislature on Tuesday of last
week. The Lieutenant -Governor Sir
John Gibson was attended to the House
by an escort from the Royal Canadian
Dragoons, and was received on his ar-
rival by a guard of honor furnished by
the Tenth Grenadiers. The doors of
the chamber were kept locked until
nearly 2 o'clock. but the corridors were
thronged, and when the Lieutenant -
Governor entered the chamber the floor
of the House was completely occupied
by representatives of the church, the
law, the university, the wives of mem-
bers of the Government, Lady Gibson,
and many others socially prominent.
The honor of delivering the address in
reply to the Speech from the Throne
was given to A. H. Musgrove, M. P. P.
for North Huron, who delivered his
speech on Thursday afternoon.
In view of the grave charges made
by Hon. Rodolphe Lemieux in parlia-
ment in relation to the organization of
La Banque Internationale, it is hard to
see how the Government can evade
its duty in the matter. Its duty clearly
is to appoint a royal commission to in-
vestigate this apparent financial scan-
dal. Although the failure of a bank-
ing institution is not involved, there ap-
pears to have been some resemblance
between the methods employed in float-
ing this "international" bank to carry
on business in Canada, and the methods
employed in floating the late lamented
Farmers' Bank. At any rate, many
French people, trusting to the sound-
ness of Canadian banking laws, invest-
ed their money in the enterprise, only
to discover to their cost a little later on
that they had misplaced their confidence.
For the good reputation of Canada in
NEVER NEGLECT
A HEADACHE.
Headache is not a disease in itself, but
is often a source of great suffering, and its
presence is likely symptomatic of /tome
diiesse lurking in the system.
To get rid of the headache, and thus
prevent more serious troubles, it is
absolutely necessary to Cleanse the
system of all waste and poisonous matter,
and keep the bowels well open, the
clogging of the bowels being one of the
prtucaple causes of headache. 'Burdock
Blood Bitters regulates the how -1,, and
makes their •movement free and natural.
A cure for headarhe; a Medicinethat
cures where others fail.
Mrs. L. Banks, Mt. Hanley; N.S.,
writes "Several years 'ago I was a
constant sufferer from headache. I wall
all run down, and nothing seemed to !so
met any good. I read of Burdock Blood
Bitters, and decided to give it a trial.
The result was marvellous, the headache
stopped entirely, and I feel better in
every way- I can safely recommend

Rogers the "Synchronizier."
It has always been the claim of the
Liberals that there should be no pooling
of interests between the Dominion and
Provincial governments. Out of power
the Tories snbscribed to this wise doc-
trine, but they have never refrained
from getting any party advantage they
could from such coalitions. Collusions
the ordinry man would call it. Hon. W.
T. White calls it "synchroniziing." By
an odd synchronizing just before the
Saskatchewan Provincial elections it
was announced through Hon. Robert
Rogers, who was engineering the Tory
work there, that the duty on cement
had been cut for the benefit of the west.
During the provincial by-election in An-
tigonish, N. S., by a similar "synch..
ronizing," announcement was made in
the local press of a long list of public
works for the riding -in advance of the
regular publication of the estimates,
which was an unprecedented piece of
political daring. These coincidences
"synchronize" with the promise of a
railroad to Richelieu if it would return
a Tory last fall. Hon. Mr. Rogers
seems to have a peculiar knack of syn-
chronizing with every piece of bold
political chicanery that is pulled off on
behalf of Premier Borden.
Deafness Cannot be 'Aired.
by locol applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is causea by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the result, and unless the in-
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free.

Does Smoking Shorten Life?
Herr Stark, a German misogynist who
died in Berlin a few years ago, smoked
during his lifetime over half a million
cigars, an average of more than 22 daily,
for sixty years, at a cost of $30,000.
Even this amazing feat was quite
thrown into eclipse by the achievement
of Her Nanas, an Austrian, whose re-
cord verges on the incredable. From.
the age of twenty-seven Herr Nanas
kept an exact account of all he bought
and what he paid for it. Thus his ac-
count -books show that in twenty-seven
years (from twenty-seven to fifty-four)
he consumed 28,786 glasses of beer -
an average of less than three a day.
From his fifty-fourth birthday he aban-
doned his beer, but contrived to smoke
more and more furiously, until, when he
died, in his seventy-third year, he had
consumed exactly 628,713 cigars Of the
whole number, it is said, 43,500 were
given to him; on the rest he had spent
the equivalent of $12,500.
Assuming that each cigar was only
four inches long (they were probably
much longer,) Herr Nanas must have
reduced to ashes an aggregate cigar
little less than forty Miles in length,
and must have spent .nearly thirty six
years of his life in the process! As
these two champions died at the ages of
eighty andaaeventy-two respectively, it
seems clear that excessive cigar -smok-
ing is not' necessarily a shortener of life.
Among pipe -smokers the palm must
be aviarded to a Dutch sailor, named
Gerken, whose boast it is that for the
last sixty-five years his voracious bowl

has consumed the English equivalent of
a pound of tobacco weekly. It requires
no skill in arithmetic to discover that
the "Dutch chimney," as he is proud to
be known, has dissipated in smoke more
than thirty hundred weights of tobacco
which is almost exactly twenty-four
times his own weight.
Equally remarkable are the feats of
rapid smoking, which, however, have
little to commend them in the way of
enjoyment The "world's champion
cigarette -smoker" is a hardy Pole who,
for a wager, once reduced thirty-two
cigarettes to ashes before the minute
hand had completed one circuit of the
clock. On another occasion he per-
formed a feat even more remarkable in
smoking a round hundred cigarettes in
ten minutes under four hours. "And
now," the insatiable man exclaimed, as
he flun away the last stump, "I think
I will have a cigar."
For a wager a French cabman recent-
ly undertook to smoke a hundred strong
cigars in two days. In the first twen-
ty-four he had disposed of sixty-six;
and, after a two hours' rest, continued
his task with such vigor that by noon
on the following day the stump of his
last cigar was burning his lips.
A Window -Box Hint.
When plants in window -boxes are
well -watered the excess moisture drips
through the box to the floor.
To avoid this, one man made mis-
sion window -boxes from old store -
boxes. The soil was supported on false
bottoms of not over quarter -inch mesh
wire screens. These screens were sus-
pended from the sides of the boxes
about an inch and a half above the real
bottom. Below these screens were
placed galvanized drip -pans three-quar-
ters of an inch -deep. The pans were
as long as the box and a quarter of an
inch narrower than the inside width.
Openings one inch high where made in
the ends of the boxes at the bottoms,
through which the drip -pans could be
removed when desired. Any excess
moisture from the soil is now caught in
the pan instead of falling to the floor.
To conserve the fertility of the soil in
the box, the drippings caught in the
pan may be used over again to rewater
the plants. Furthermore the use of
the wire screen supporting the earth
provides ample ventilation and obviates
the use of stones, broken bricks, etc.
The outside of the boxes are stained
to match the woodwork in the room,
thein waxed, and are, of themselves,
quite ornamental. Of course, they are
inexpensive, too.

THE HORSEMAN.
The shoeing of the farm horses
should receive the same atten-
tion that is given the road horse
or the trotter. Winter shoeing
should be most carefully done.
To tie up a horse so short that
he cannot comfortably lie down
is a needless cruelty. The ideal
a
stall Is a box stall, and the pace
given to it pays in the greater
comfort of the animal.
• Unless a colt is properly and
liberally fed during the first two
years of its life it will never at-
tain the size or perfect propor-
tions that nature intended.
Along in February the fitting
. of all the farm teams should be-
gin, The grain ration should be
gradually increased and more "
H
exercise given every day to hard-
en the muscles.
The development of the young
horse requires the exercise of
the best judgment In handling

CAUSES OF WEAK LAMBS.
Meager Rations and Exposure Reduce
the Ewes' Vitality.
Weak lambs at birth are one of the
most perplexing difficulties, the cause
)1' which may be traced to various
sources, writes W. H. Underwood in
the Iowa Homestead. Lack of proper
assimilative ability on the part of the
female may weaken the growth of the
fetus during the stage of develop-
ment. This condition is more prey -
tient among old ewes which have lost
their teeth. However, poor assimila-
tion may be brought on in young ewes
through weak digestive organs. Un -
thriftiness is one of the most apparent
evidences of poor assimilative ability
and can generally lie remedied in the
_ase of young animals by sorting out
and feeding extra with a variety of
fonds until the system regains its nor-
mal condition.
The cause of weak lambs at birth
•can frequently be traced to a too
limited ration. Many flock owners
carry the idea that sheep, unlike the
dairy cow, can survive on a much nar-
rower range of. diet. This is a very
erroneous impression. in order to
properly mature their unborn progeny
they need to be supplied with, a ration
varying in its composition to as mark-
ed an extent as any animal. A ration
composed of clover hay, corn stover,
ant straw and silage, if available,
should constitute the range of rough-
ness. The grain ration should be se-
lected with care. Oats, bran, a little
corn and oilmeal make a good ration.
Exposure to variable weather condi-
tions during winter infiueuces the de-
velopment of the fetus, and in some
instances it is a cause of weak lambs:
at parturition. When weather is fa-
vorable pregnant ewes should have ac-
cess to a large yard of exorcising. but
should never be allowed to remain in
drenching storms. When the fleece
becomes thoroughly soaked from rain
or snow the wool fibers mat and form
ft cold blanket, which lowers the tem-
perature of the body and retards the'
escape of waste matter from the sur-
face. It requires au increased con-
sumption of food to maintain an even
body temperature. ithus imposing ad-
ditional labor upon.. the digestive sys-
tem. which sooner of later weakens its
activity and influence in the develop-
ment of the fetus. .±
Those who desire `to obtain the high-
est percentage of strong, healthy
lambs at birth can well afford to give
special attention to the ewe flock dur-
ing the period of pregnancy. The ra-
tion should be regularly,and judicious-
ly supplied. It should possess sufficient
nutrition to maintain the parent body
in a strong, vigorous condition, and
also supply the fetus, which .is under
constant development, with proper
nourishment.
The yard should be spacious, dry
and, if possible, with a southern ex-
posure. The shelter should possess
good 'ventilation and plenty of sunshine
and Should be kept in such condition
that the ewes will occupy it from
choice rather than from compulsion.'
The Boarder In the Dairy.
The "boarder" cow -that is, the cow
which does not pay for her keep -is to
the dairyman like a millstone around
his neck. The scrub Is the cow that
has given dairying an unfavorable rep-
utation. Just why the dairyman re-
fuses to give up his old ways and
adopt such radical changes as are nec-
essary to convert afi unprofitable herd
Into a profitable herd has always been
a mystery in dairying. We hltve never
known a man who expressed dnythirig
but the greatest satisfaction with 'bis
dairy opordtions When he knew that
he was milking profltalbls cows. says
Kansas Farmer. On the other bund.
