Department of Juetice, octavo, May 18th, 1901• 45 2 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. By feeding the eyetem with DR. WARD'S BLOOD AND NERVE PILLS You strike at the root of the dieease and lay a solid foundation on wbioh to build.

BoxETI]Iae the comment ie made on the toilsome life of pnblio men but a number of the old stock appear to weather the blest for a good many years. Lord Satin. bury, the British Prime Minister, is past 71 years of age and ie not a worn out man yet. We feel Bare the veterans of the Dominion Senatehave no notion of shelf. fling off for some time to come if they have anything to say in reference to their departure. Fretting and worry kill more people than hard work. We believe the Dominion Government eboold take hold of the telegraph, tele- phone and express bueinese and ran them on much the same lines ae they do the poetoffiae and money order departments. In this way the eervioe would be cheapen- ed tothe pnblieand could be managed jnat ae saaaesefnlly as under existing oiroum- etancee. If some of our able bodied legis- lators instead of making long winded epeeohee would take op some of the gnes- tione of vital, practical worth to the peo- ple at large they would do more for their salary than they now are. TBE atter collapse of the Cook chargee was made strikingly manifeet in the Sen. ate. Sir Mackenzie Bowell, ae Chairman of the committee of investigation, present- ed a printed copy of the evidence taken and the arguments of ooaneel and pointed out that no oommente were offered, bat each reader was left to make hie own de- ductions. This was all Sir. Mackenzie Bowell had to say, and the evidence was received without dieauesion. The Con. servBtive Senator, Hon, Mr. Macdonald, made the candid admission, "That's the last of Mr. Cook," and with this observe. tion the Daae was relegated to the obscurity which it deeervee. Tun annual meetings of the Farmers' Institute are to be held this year between June lot and 20th, .Gast Huron Institute being get for Tuesday, Jane 4th, in the Town Hall, Brussels. A special feature of thin year's work will be the meetings is the orchards of prominent trait grow. ere. This is to better enable the leotarere to give practical demonstrations in spray- ing, pruning, grafting and orchard oalti• yahoo. The question of affiliation with the Provincial Winter Fair at Guelph will come up for ooneideration, no doubt, with the probable reenit of action being taken. Farmers who attended last Win• ter were extra well pleased with the addressee, block testa, &o. An effort will likely be made to organize a Women's 'militate in East Heron so that the women of the Riding could convene to Owns matters of interest to their de- partment of farm work. There are now 31 of these Institutee in Ontario and the expectation le that this number will be largely augmented thie season. An in. tending letter from Mr. Oreelman may be found in this issue, to Inetitote mem• here and the public generally. One man was ehoaked to death by eleotriaity and two of hie comrades who tried to reeooe him from the spattering wires were eeverely burned at the earned. tion grnunde, Buffalo, N.

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 sidee of the river and also Bend a canoe further down the river to report on ite conditions, etc. This being Friday night we decidedto make this our head. 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 away the hours until the slotted time in eoolel shat and at garde, the rest of the party being long Binge fast asleep. After completing this 'net observation we en- joyed our midnight leech of partridge soup and tea without eager, but Sheldon'e nioe creamy biscuits were fine and we ate and enjoyed the meal heartily. About six that Saturday Howard and Neelande returned from their trip down the river, reporting the river maoh the same ae that gone over within the past few daye. They also reported many small Iolanda mad a few binds, but the oouatry generally fiat, theme conditions according 10 Dr. Bell continuing to the Bay.

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• pecially in the evening meetings. Invite the ladies to join with you and you will see new life in your meetings at once. At your last annual meeting you were also asked to consider a propoeition made by the Provincial Winter Fair Board to affiliate with that Aseociation and to at. tend the Fair, We were hardly prepar- ed, however, for the hearty response met with. 1,518 Farmers' Institute members attended the Fair, and everyone whom I have heard mention it has expressed bin• self as well pleased. The Fair ae con- ducted ie a great educational factor in it. self, and preparations are being made this year for a bigger show than ever. The Show ie now permanently located in Guelph, where epeaial buildings have been erected for the purpose, and the dates will be about the middle of Dooem- ben ae usual. The railroads will give single first class fare. You should decide to affiliate, at your annual meeting, and instruct your Secretary tosend the Sacra• tary of the Fair a cheque for $5. The block tests with cattle, sheep ,and swine, the expert judges, and the addreeeee by the judgee telling why they awarded the prizes, the droned poultry exhibit, the dairy tests and lectures and addresses by prominent men from Canada and the United States, will be features of the Show this year.

It is also said that it ne the G. T. R's intention to do away with the town station and make the pro• posed new station do double duty. An agricultural implement which promisee to become popular was given a teat at the farm of Mr. Phall, Downie, last Friday by James Dow, of Stratford.
