McLean Stevenoon, Collier street, this town, was on Friday morning the Beene of a frightful accident by poison- ing. Douglas, the eight-year•oldeon of Mr, Stevenson, was given a desaertopoonfulof pure carbolic acid in mistake for medicine, It appears that the child has teen ill some days with eoaelet favor and it wars on a fair way to recovery ; in fact was sitting up. A bottle of carbolic acid was kept in the eiok.room as a disinfectant. Friday morning; at about oeven o'clook,A•liss Kate Stevenson gave the child what she supposed was a edf ins butimmediately th m o after• wards discovered that it was adessertspoon. ful of the deadly carbolic sold. Drs. J. C. Smith and 3. L. G. McCarthy were Ma mediately summoned. The former, who resides aoroes the street from the Ste- venson residence, arrived within five minutes of the giving of the fatal dose, while' Dr. McCarthy soon follow- ed. Every' effort was made to revive the child, who was already unoonacious. Em- etice and the abomaoh pump were used of no avail ; it being the opinion of the dos- tors that the. carbolic acid had been entirely absorbed by the tissues immediately, as the child had beau given little or no food for some time. The calamity has created e widespread sympathy .for the family in their bereavement, the news of the acoident having very quickly spread. Mr,. Stevan. son is probably the best known man in this vicinity, being County Court clerk, and he ie Grand Treasurer of the Seleot Knights of Canada, and prominently oonnected with the Masonic and other sooietieo. He is known pretty well throughout the pro- vince. To the family the many sympathies will be extended, and particularly to Mise Kate Stevenson, the poor young lady who made the terrible mistake. THE HEAT IN LONDON. Tho IIlgbest Thermometric Reading for Twenty -Seven Years—Appropriate but Unconventional Coetutnes: A despatch from London, says :—Cable despatches received here tell of the intense heat which bas been prevailling on the American continent., and it may interest people on the other side of the Atlantic to know that London has been suffering in sympathy. This metropolis has had a full week of blazing sunshine and intense heat On Thursday the thermometers registered 86 degrees iu the shade, the highest figures recorded herein 27 years. But the heat has had a good effect upon certain lines of business, as ladies, in consequence of the torrid weather, have been wearing the• lightest and prettiest toilettes, and the men in Hyde park and other such places during the mornings have been trying to keep themselves cool in grey flannels and straw hats, which were exchanged for the. afternoon for White duck trousers and frock coats. In fact, this cool costume was worn even in the sedate House of Corrmons, and hundreds ot ladies might have been seen, in the airiest of oostumea, daily taking tea an the terrace of the Howse of Commons. The House proper, however, has been deserted, while the ter. rade referred to has presented one of the gayest seanes in London. THE FAR EAST. Order Reim Rapidly Restored in the 101010,0 of Fernrose—The Retreat or the Cbinose. A despatch from Hong Kong says :— Advices from Formosa indicate that chaos is being rapidly reduced to order now that the Japanese troops hese reaehed Taipehfu, and established army headquarters at that point. The natives of Formosa are sub- mitting rapidly to the rule of the Japanese. The Japanese losses during the military movement in o0oupying the island amount to only eight teen. The Chinese' carried away millions of dollars' worth of property from the Chineee fortifications during the firing which followed the detention of the steamer of ex -Governor and ex-Presi— dent Lang -Ching, who was making an effort to escape from the island. Seven persons were killed and seventeen wounded on the star/hoer as a result of the firing. The German gunboat Ibbs replied to the bombardment from the fortifications on the Formosa shore, and the native gunners deserted their positions. The forts were quickly silenced. According to all reports thirteen natives were killed by the cannon- ade of the Itlis. CIinlate and Tongues. Gutturals predominate in Norway and Rusata, whereas, far to the southward, in auuny Italy, there is a profusion of suoh euphonious names as Palermo, Verona, Campobello and so forth, Even in the British isles, covering so few degree' of latitude, there is a marked difference be- tween the "burr" of the Highlander and the soft epeech of the native of southern England. A theory which may partly account for these climatic effects is based upon the oontrast of the stillness which usually pervades southern lauds with the stormy inquietude of northern countries. Cloudless skies for months at a time chat acterize the climates of Italy, while a firmament entirely free from clouds is rare in Norway. It requires, of course, greater effort to be heard in regions which aro swept by winds, and storms than in still southern latitudes,an d to be heard distinotl y amid the nolo and confusion of the elements words must be used whioh contain many consonants, ` Among 'the inhabitants of marc topical climes the tendency is toward soft and musical cadence, and travelers relate that in rogione fu South America, ugh ars Peru and Venezuela, where atmos - phoria disturbanbes aro rare, the natives almost chant tiro phrases of ealutation, • 1 THE FIELD OF CO•NlNRON Some Items or Interegt for the Etisy Rosiness Man.

Toronto grain men are reported to have made considerable money In the late ad. vaned in prices, but their profits are Much lees than reported for their Montreal brain' ren. Grain men never carried less stooks of wheat than during the past spring, The gross amount of fire riskslaced p by all. companies in p Canada last .year vena $613,589,428, and the premiums charged thereon 58,158,032. The net oseh paid for lasses was 54,501,146. The British Compapies do the greatest amount of business PA Canada, the risks taken by them in 1894 being 5435,237,770, on which 65,345,385 was oharged in pre- miums and 53,094,859 paid during the year for looses. Refiners' stooks of sugar on hand in the United States are euffioient for immediate requirements, so that; the heavy arrivals caused a fractional ehading in Muscovado and moat other raves in order to prevent accumulation. Statements of stooks abroad show an excess in the United Kingdom of 18,000 tons over the corresponding date, last year. The active market for refined grades has quieted down ton position of dulness,although prices are steady, but not wollsuataioed. Business in Toronto holds its own, and evena slight :improvement is reported by some merchants. Remittancea are more satisfactory, the result probably of a freer movemenbinproduce accelerated by higher prices. The general advance in the price of all cereals must have helped farmers, but their profite on wheat, which has risen much more than anything else, must have been limited, as it is saeraly acknowledged ed that stooks of g wheat both in farmers' and dealers hands were this se8800 far below the average of former years. The reason for the 50 per cent• advance in wheat Is that there was not sufficient in the country for home requirements. Large quantities bus's been imported from the United States. The advanoe in prices over there were only 25c to 30o. The area now under wheat in On- tario is said by Rome authorities to besmall- er even than last year, and the prospeots for a large yield are not very assuring . . . Money is likely to continue comparatively easy this summer around 4s per cent, for call leans and 6 to 6} per cent. for prime commeroiul paper. Funds are very plenti- ful with deposit companies, and there are largesume awaiting investment. The advance in quotations of good investment stooke is due partly to prospective easy money and partly to the improved outlook for general business. In some instances the semi-annual dividends of loan companies now being declared show deoretees. Owing to the unusually low rates for money the poet year, profits of loan companies have been curtailed, and hence redttotions in dividends. Ranke have suffered to some extent from like causes, and we doubt if many of them will increase their reserve funds this year. THE CHAMPION SWEARER. lie Was Cured of cue LL ,ort by aSlntple Strataeem. Among the outre characters of Ayr, Sootlhod, more than 100 years no there was none ao remarkable as a little oldish man who was ordinarily called the " Devil Almighty." He had acquired Ghia terrific sobriquet from an inveterate habit of swearing, or rather from that phrase being bis favorite oath. He was Do ordinary swearer, no mintier of dreadful words, no I clipper of the King's curses. Being a man ' of violent passions, he had a habit when provoked of shutting his eyes and launch- ing heaclong into a torrent of blasphemy, such as might, if properly divided, have set up a whole troop of modern swearers. The custom of shutting his eyes seemed to be adopted by him as a sort of salve to his conscience. He seemed to think that provided he did not " sin with hie eyes open" he did not sin at •all ; or it was Iperhaps nothing but a habit. Whatever might be the cause or parpose of the habit, l it was once made the means of playing off upon him a most admirable hoax, Being done evening in a tavern along with two neighboring oountry gentlemen, he was, according to a concerted plan, played upon and irritated. Of course, he soon shut his eyes, and commenced hie usual tirade of execration and blasphemy. As soon ars he was fairly afloat and his eyes were observed to be herd shut his oompan. ions put out the candles, so as to involve the room iu utter darkness. In the oourse of a quarter of an hour, whiah was the 0010100 duration .of his paroxysms, he ceased to speak, and opened hie eyes, when what was hie amazement to find hdniaelf in the dark, "Flow nowt" "am I blind 1" "Blind," exclaimed one of the oonopany, " what should make you blind?" ' Why I San see nothing," an. swered iho sinner. "That is your own fault" oo0lly observed his friend, "for my part I can see well enough," and he drank a tenet a0 if nothing had happened, This convinced the blesppnetner that he had lost his sight, and to add to his horror it struck' him that Providenoo'had indicted the blow as a punishment for his in tolerable wicked. nese. Under this hnpressiou he began to rave and cry, and he finally fell into pray- ing, raying, uttering suoh expressions as made hie two companions relay to buret with re- strained laughter. When they thought they had punished himsulfeiently, and began to fear that his mind might be affected if they oontinued the joke any longer, out of them went to the door and admitted the light, The old blasphemer was overwhelmed with shame at the exhibition he had been compelled to make, which had skit an effect that from thee time forward Ise entirely abandoned his, abominable habit.

DIr. Truax says; " I have been for about ten years very much troubled with Indigestion and Dyspepsia, have tried a great many different kinds of patent medicines, and hove been treated by a number of physicians and found no benefit from them. I was room, mended to try the Great South American Nervine Tonic. I obtained a bottle, and I must say I found very great relief, and have sinoe taken two more bottles, and now feel that I am entirely free from Indigestion, and would strongly recommend all my fellow -sufferers from the disease to give South American Nervine an immediate trial, It will cure you.
