It burned; like tin- der or paper, and when such a fire was lighted it was absolutely unqueenc'h- able. It would consume the chaff bee fore it .could be extinguished by any other process. If one ask the meanings fo each of the members of this parable, we may suppose God's fan to be the Romano, who were his ax in verse 10, The preaching of the Gospel, however, was also a true winnowing fan; the threshing floor in the first case would be the Jewish nation; in the eecondi Christendom; the wheat would tie the true believers in Christ, the garner the kingdom of God, the chaff useless souls, and the fire God's judgment.

It was not, how- ever, until the arrival of Chief Prevost that it was learned that the family, or the best part of them, were in the burning building• The chief at onus ordered the door to bo burnt open, anti made a rush into a house. A terrible scene met his gaze, The Stairway was burned dawn, and Lying at the foot wag the body of as ap- parently len-year-old- girl burned to a crisp. It took only a abort time to got the fire under control, but it, was evident from the smoke wad flames that no hopes remained of finding anything but eharrecl remains. Suoh proved to be elle ease, the body of the Lather and four children 'being found in the bed- rooms, from whileh their escape had bean out off. Prom what coma oe learned it ap- pears that the husband had been for some time showing signs of mental de- rangement, and was in the habit of wandering round the house at night CARRYING A LAMP. Thin mornidg it is supposed, he dropped the lamp, and the whole house was al- most Immediately in flames. Mrs. Leahy tried to quench the fire, but was unable to succeed, and after exhausting her efforts in this direc- tion, had. barely time to escape from the house with one child. The names of the six who perished in the flames are Patrtek Leahy, the father, aged42; Themes, aged 8; Macule, aged 7; Katie, aged 0; Maggie, aged 4; Partick, aged 2. Describing the fearfuL affair, Mrs, Leahy nays:—"I woke up with a start shortly before three o'clock. My hus- band, who was in night attire, was standing at the beuside. When I opened my eyes the room was full of emoke. My husband was yelling to me to get up and save mvself, as the house was on rtre. T lumped out of bed, and; hurriedly rushed into the abilclren'a room, which adjoined mine I picked up Mamie, aged seven, and Frankie, aged five, and In an Instant started back to my room. I opened the window, which wan only a few inches above the root ot an adjoining shed. Through the opening I foroed little Frankie, and thereby saved bis life. In the meantime, little Mamie, who did not unaerstand the danger, returned to her own room in the dark- ness, likely enough• to go back to bed. Then I beta= frantic, and ran in af- ter her. I was almost overcome with smoke how, and ;the fire was spreading in all directions, THR,EATENING MY LIFE. I attempted to enter the room a second time, but had to relinquish my desire, and allow the little one to look after her own safety. I clambered through the window on to the roof of the shed, and screamed for help. Mr. Joseph. Rouliz came to the yard, and put up a ladder, and assisted ma and my child to the ground. There were no lamps burning in tale house at the time to my knowledge, but there had bean a good wood fire in a small stove when I retired for the avenang. When my husband stood beside my bed he seam- ed perfectly calm and self-possessed,and not at all flurried by the danger of the position in which he and the fam- ily were. After warning me be walk- ed calmly from the room to the next, where in the dense smoke he probably met his end. ale made no effort to either save himself or his family., Had he been in his right senses there is no doubt that all lives would have been saved. I have no idea how the fire Started," A neighbour, ars. Anderson, who was et the actino early, declares that Malmo Leahy, aged 7, perished in the effort to save her baby brother,. Mrs. Anderson says that she saw Mrs. Leahy on the roof with her son Frank, who was saved, and ber daughter Mamie. She was standing like a statue, terrified almost to death, and scarcely able to speak. Mrs. Leahy cried, "Save my darling baby, my lit- tle Tommie," I will mamma, I will," answered the hereto little Minnie, as she turned and literally walked into the jaws of death to save her baby brother, and there she perished with the others. The loss of life is attribut- ed to the bet that there was a delay of twenty-five minutes in sending the alarm, as the key of the alarm box was missing, ENGLAND'S COAL SUPPLY.

Nothing short of a series of most remarkable and well authenti- cated cures will incline either an editor or a dootor to seriously consider the merits honestly claimed' for It medicine. Hundreds of testimonials of won- derful recoveries wrought with the Great South American Nervine Tonic were received from men and women all over the country before physicians began to prescribe this great remedy in chronic oases of dyspepsia, in- digestion, nervous prostration, sick headache, and as a tonin for bnild- ing up systems capped of vitality through protracted spells of sick nese. During his experience of nearly a quarter of a century as a newspaper publisher in Parise Ont., Editor Col- well, of The Paris Review, has pub- lished hundreds of columns of paid medicine advertisements, and, no doubt, printed many a graoefully- worded puff for his patrons as a matter of business, but in only a single instance, and that one warrant- ed by his own personal experience, has he given a"testimonial over his own signature. No other remedy ever offered the public has proved such a marvellous revelation to the most sceptical as the South American Nervine Tonic. It has never failed in its purpose,and it has cured when PARIS, ONT,, REVIEW. doctors and other medicines were tried in vain. "I wasrostrated with a artioet larly severe' attack of 'La Grippe,'" says Mr. Colwell, "and could find no relief fromthe intense pains and diet. tress of the malady. I suffered day and night. The dootors did not hell me, and I tried a number of mede4 eines, but without relief. About this time I was advised to try the South American Nervine Tonic. Its effects were instantaneous. The first dose I took relieved me, I improved rapidly and grew stronger 'every Tour Nervine Tonic cured me in a single week." The South American Nervine Tonic rebuilds the life forces by its direct action on the nerves and the !terve centres, and it ie this notable' feature which distinguishes it from every other remedy in existence. The most eminent medical authorities noir concedethatfully 'two-thirds of all the physical ailments of humanity arise from exhaustion of the nerve. forces. The South American Nervine Tonic acting direct upon the nerve centres and nerve tissues .instantaneously supplies them with the true nourish- ment required, and that is why its invigorating effects upon the whole system are always felt immediately. For all nervous diseases, for genera debility arising' from enfeebled vital- ity, and for stomach troubles of every variety no other remedy Gan possibly take its place. Sold by G. A. Deadman.
