There was a grand rally of Wingham citizens in the Town Hail on Monday evening. The Mayor presided and stated that the object of the meeting was to or- ganize so as. to raise a Patriotic Fund for the maintenance of the dependents of the brat a boys who had gone to the front to fight the Empire's battles. The first speaker was Mr. A. H. Mus- grove, M. P. P. who spoke with his usual patriotic fervor. He regretted the cause of this meeting but itclearly showed that when Britain was at war, Canada was at war. He had no doubt as to the ultimate triumph of the Allies and it was Canada's duty to bear her full share in men and money, With a most eloquent peroration as to our great inheritance in being British Subjects, Mr. Musgrove closed an address, which aroused great enthusiasm and was punctuated with applause throughout. Rev. D. Perrie was next called upon and, said that he was there to give his hearty support to the scheme to assist all those who might be in need from the direct or indirect effects of the war. He trusted that the war would be shortlived, Had the people of Germany and Austria been consulted there would have been no war. It was the result of an ambitious Emperor surrounded by war -maddened advisors. The speaker believed that this was 'a war against a war', and that when the militarism of Germany was broken the sword would be sheathed and nations would learn to arbittatc, and he prayed that this nould be the last time Europe would be turned into a battle field. This would no doubt bring forward the day when the war dr ems would beat no longer and the battle flags be furled in the parl- iament of man, ,.the federation of the world. Rev. Mr. ''Dymond, who then spoke, said that he had dealt with this matter in the pulpit and had very little to add. He pressed home on each and all their in- dividual responsibility. People had to become so accustomed to saying 'we' when they had no part in It but on this occasion it should be what did to assist the families of the brave soldiers who had gone to the field of battle. As British Subjects, we owed a duty, and he trusted Wingham would not be found wanting, Rev. Mr. Hibbert next gave a splendid address and was frequently interrupted by loud applause. He.stated that when he addressed a few words of cheer to the boys and looked into their face in Gode rich, he couid not help but reel that some would not return. Toronto was then quoted as an example for Wingham, in that city the newsboy and the millionaire contributed according to their means and so would Wingham citizens. This was a righteous war and Britain held her word sacred and would fight to maintain her pledge given on 'a scrap of paper'. It was a fight of autocracy against demo- cracy and democracy would win. The manner in which feuds were forgotten when the Empire was threatened was then outlined. Premier Borden had gone and consul ed the Leader of the Oppoeiti n and we had a session without a division, Politics were forgotten, creeds were for- gotten, alt shoulder to shoulder standing for the old flag that bad braved the battle and the breeze. He clotted by saying that no dependent• one should lack the neces- saries of life. The last speaker was an ofiicer of the Salvation Army, who was intro- duced as a man speaking 15 different languages but the chairman did not sug- gest that be speak in more than one. The Salvation Arm;, he said, knew hew to do their duty and would do it. He had been born in Holland and had laboured through- out hrgou h- out Europe in the cause of the Salvation Army. Holland and Belgium had gained their independence 100 years ago and was not now going to allow the mailed hand of Germany to crush them. This speakers ad- dress was very much appreciated. It was moved by Messrs Buchanan and 'Greer that the Mayor, Reeve, R. Clegg, A. Ii. Musgrove and L. Kennedy be a committee with power to add to their numbers, to take complete charge of Wingham Patriotic Fund. Wingham Citizens' Band with their patriotic selections added greatly to the success of the meeting. After the general meeting the above committee met in the Council Chamber. It was Moved by Musgrove and Irwin that R. Clegg be President and J. F. Groves, Secretary. Carried. The Foot -Ball Club offered to play a game on Labour Day and give the pro- s tothe Patriotic arid. Moved cess F by and alcKib the offer on that Musgroveb i o er ba accepted with thanks and that an effort be made to secure a bgsebatl match as well This committee is to meet again at the call of the chair to arrange for a larger committee.

Thynne, M. 4., • Palmerston. • 2 The Almond -Tree., This elegant and celebrated tree was known to the Hebrews under the familiar name Luz. It is the 'Amyg- delis Commuois of Linnoeus and of moderm botanists. The almond -tree is a species of peach or nectarine and generally grows to the height of about twenty feet. It is not worth growing in North America for the sake of its fruit; but in some parts of Italy and the south of France (as in Provence and Dauphiny) there are vast planta- tions of almonds; and yet, in ancient times it is nowhere mentioned by Vir- gil and the other Latin poets. It is a native of the Boit Indies, China, some parts of Asia -Minor and Barbary. By those who have' seen this tree, it is generally admitted that an almond tree covered with its vast profusion of white delicate petals or blossoms, is one of the most elegant and pleasing objects that can attract the eye of the beholder. The rich fair bloom, with which it is literally covered at the pro- per season, has been compared by Solomon to a hoary head ; and he ac- cordingly, warns us of the approach of old age when the "almond -tree shall flourieh". Another remarkable pro- perty of the almond tree is, the sud- denness or rapidity with which it puts forth its blossoms ; and hence it is used as an emblem of haste or vigil ante. Thus Jeremiah, in his vision, caw "a rod of an almond•tree." Then said the L ord to him , T fou hese well seen; for T will hasten my word to perform it." And the Lord did hasten ; for wo learn that the prophet et the tune of his death, was old enough have aeon Hearty all hispre- dictions accomplished. The frnit of the almond -tree' is what the botanists term a drupe, 1. e„ a pulpy seed -vessel, encompassing a stone or nut. At the time of ripening, the cortical invest went separates in the form of small threads, and at length unfolds the fruit itself, perforated by small holes, This nut or kernel bas been in high estimation in all ages. When Jacob was obliged to part with Benjamin and to send him with his brethren into the land of Egypt when the "famine Was sore in the land", almonds are mentioned as part of the h n' frtttte In the land, as we learn t ly from hie own lips. "And their. s. $UBSORIPTION $I,ao '1'o 'Kiley sue lk#t and, perhaps, the rods of the heads of the other tribes; for we read of the rods laid up in the tabernacle of the Congregation, that when "on the morrow Moses went into the taber- naola of witness, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budd- ed, and brought forth bode and bloom- ed blossome, and. yielded almonds." Some Bible scholars are of the opinion that this miracle was performed in the sight of Israel. in order to impress upon them the necessity and duty of giving up the first -fruits of their in• crease, the tithes and other offerings o the tribe o f Levi. Part of this tree is also alluded to in the directions given for forming the golden candle- stick, "Three bowls make like unto almonds, with a knob and a flower in. one branch," The Jews say, that the flowers were lilies and that the knobs were in the farm of pomegranates. By comparing the description of this magnificent rnneelabrium, as given by Moses, with ihefigure as sculptured on the arch of Titus, it appears that the flowers very much resemble the bell-shaped calyx of the almond -tree. Almond are of two—sweet and bitter ; but there is no perceptible difference in the trees that produce them. This fruit, bitter almonds ought, with can• tion to be applied, either in a macerat- ed or solvent state, for the food of man or beast ; as the bitter principle which prevails in the bitter almond and in the kernels of many other fruits, ie now ascertained to be prussic acid, the most sudden and fatal of all poisons. A water distilled from bitter almonds is instantly fel to animals, and spirit in which t same fruit has been steeped has pro fatal on more than one occasion to human beings. Sweet almonds used in foods are dif- ficult of digestion and afford very little nourishment unless when well masti- cated. Pliny mentions an oil made of the fruit of the almond ; and Colum- ella terms the fruit itself "Greek Nuts". Botanists mention seven species of al- mond -tree ; but only one species pro- duces the tree almond. Our common peach or nectarine ie one species. There are several species of dwarf al- mond—a species found near Aleppo and another in Cochin—China, The above however is the true almond -tree of the Scriptures, It is of the class Icosandria, order Monogynia, father t••r.tel said unto theta, it meat .,. v+- ti., .,-1.., a !"" tl. t t�« be ea now, d o Alit.; finite in the land in your Ne/o,eie, er.d carry down the man a pi rr c n►, :e 1-. t le balm, and it little herr et, leicr.•, myrrh,tie' ttend almonds." 1 appm; s that the rrd r.r rreply* (,f Ae.r.•n orae tetad•a cit the wood of the altmnnd-Lrrr For Sale or Rent The Brunswick Hotel, Wingham, is for sale or will be rented to suitable party.
