It's Your Nerves.
It's the Condition of Your
Nerves that Either Makes
Your Life a Round of
Pleasure or a Use-
less Burden.
To many women life is one round of
eiaknees, weakness and i11 health. To
attempt even the lightest houeebold duties
fatigues them. Many of the symptoms
accompanying this elate of decline are : a
feeling of tiredness on waking, faintness,
dizziueee, oinking feeling, palpitation of
the beart, shortness of breath, loss of
appetite, cold hands and feet, headaohe,
dark oirolee under the eyes, pain in the
beak and side and all the other acaom-
panimente of a rundown and weakened
constitution.
All these symptoms and conditions are
simply the result of a poor quality and
defective circulation of the blood, with a
wasting away of the nerve forces.

A TRIP TO NORTHERN
ONTARIO.
Lorne Il ranter'$ Experiences.
In listening to the story of the capeiz•
Ing of the donee while the three boyo
were exploring Flint River, it appears
that they emote to a pretty atilt rapid,
up which they endeavored to pole, the
result being that in a very short epeoe of
time they found tbemeelvee etruggling^
with the ourrent. Of course everything
to the canoe was transferred to the water.
However, excepting for a thorough wet-
ting, no eerioue damage was done, al•
though a number of mineral epeoimene
were lost.
It was our intention to move down the
Kenogami next morning, but a heavy
rain intervened and stayed with us until
noon. We cached in this camp some
flour and pork. We got the Indian to
help overhaul our canoes, and he also
showed us how to temper our pitoh and
when we presented him with a quarter
of a bag of beano he seemed very grate.
fat. We continued down the river, the
indications showing that the many big
ielaude-regular forests -are completely
submerged in the Spring freahete, but the
water does not remain on them long, as
the vegetation ie good. The river is be-
coming more picturesque every day, and
it ie with a feeling of regret that we can-
not oontinue on down to the Bay, but
time will not allow of it, and it le thought
that we will turn back when we reach
Pembina Ieland, We worked on down
the river until six p. m., when darkness
name upon ea and we made Damp. Dor.
ing the night we were all startled by a
great commotion in the river, which is
pretty wide at thie point. We were all
quickly at the water's edge with rifles,
but it was so inteueely dark that we
could disoern nothing, hat could hear the
noise towards the opposite shore. A
coapts of shote were fired in the direction
of the noise, which only caused the ani.
mat to disappear all the faster, and in a
few minutes all was still. We could not
tell what it was but could easily believe
it was some large animal, possibly a
moose or oariboo. Upon investigation
the following morning we noticed the tall
reeds on the opposite shore pretty well
tramped, and could easily Bee the trail
left by our midnight marauder, which
wan conoeded to be a moose, but ae they
travel very tact it was not considered ad-
visable to hunt him down. After making
a short inland trip and getting a few
photographs of timber, etc., we started
off once more, the weather being quite
favorable. We encountered a great num-
ber of wild daoke, and otter also were
quite plentiful. Oar worthy geologist
had quite a chase after an otter, which
by the way are not the easiest thing in
the world to shoot.
After pushing on down the river, with
nothing of importance happening except
a few inlandside tripe, we caw ahead of
ae about a mile a beautiful large island,
and Bo it proved to be. Thie is the
island on which Dr. Bell stopped in
making a geological track envoy some
thirty years ago. We landed and explor•
ed the island, which we judged to em.
brace some 20 aurae of real nice land, and
heavily timbered. We found traces of
an old Damp ground ou this island, which
in alt probability had been that of Dr.
Bell's party. Mr. Davidson found a
medium sized ohina mag of old Englieh
make, whioh might have been used ae a
shaving mug, sod as the Indian is not
known to nee each a thing we reasoned
that it meet have belonged to some of
Dr. Bell's party, as there is no record of
any other white men baviog gone that
way. I also found a wooden pipe of
English make, which might possibly
have been lost by an Indian, and we also
came upon a blazed tree with some names
written with pencil, but they were so
nearly obliberated that we oonld not
make them oat, bet everything went to
ehow that there had been white men
there before us, After some discussion
it wan mutually agreed to go over to the
mainland and pitoh our tents, from
where we Goold make aide trips on both

quarters over Sunday. Early Satarday
morning Messrs. Neelande and Howard
took a canoe down the river, the timber
expert and Mr. Fisher making an inland
trip, while Mr. Davidson and I crossed
to the other side and went inland. We
had gone in jnet a few chains when we
came upon a flock of partridge, and were
lucky in getting eight out of I ebould
judge twelve or fourteen. We found the
timber fairly good, while the lend was
prinoipally dry mnekeg for two miles,
when it changed to real good soil. We
noticed a good many fair sized trees of
black and yellow birch. Arriving baok
at headquarter.] about 4,20 p. m. we
found Prootor and Fisher had returned
from their side trip, reporting much the
same conditions as we did. They also
were luoky in getting quite a large sized
game bag of partridges. We all turned
in and helped the cook to prepare the
birds, to whioh we all did ample justice
when cooked. At 7,25 p, m. Cir. David-
son took an observation, and another at
1,25 a. m. Sunday, he and I whiling

FARMERS' INSTITUTES
DEMI SIµ, -The time is drawing near
for your annual meeting and I take this
opportunity of reminding you of the im•
por0aoce of the gathering. The success
of each Institute during the coming year
will depend largely upon the thorough-
ness with which the Directors do their
work at the annual meeting.
Speaking generally the regular and
supplementary meetings held during the
pant Winter were a splendid success.
You know whether your own meetings
were all that they should have been.
You know beet whether you personally
rendered to your Institute all the aeeist-
ante you could. In some Institutee
Directors drove as far ae 16 miles to at-
tend the meetings and brought to the
Secretary a list of names of members
who could not be present, but who deeir•
ed to have all the agricultural literature
published by the Department.
In a letter to the Directors written
about this time last year I made a special
plea for the women on the farm and
asked your co•operatioa in the formation
of Women's Institutee. Most of the Iu-
atitatee responded and showed their sym-
pathy with the movement. I am pleased
to announce that 31 Women's Institutes
are now in active operation, and holding
monthly meetings. There is no doubt in
my mind that this will not only be help•
ful to the ladies themselves, but that they
will directly help your Inetitute, ee•
