F. Wollaston, the report is presented of the expedition that was sent out by the British Ornithologists' Union to explore the interior of Dutch New Guinea. o The xeport is of considerr:ble general in- terest on account of the new race of Pygmies discovered, the, most prima tive yet encountered, their civilization being in most respects lower than that of -the Bushmen, although they appear to have some sort of instinctive morality that is not possessed by :other primitive tribes that might be mentioned. For instance, the explor- ers foundthe men to be extremely' modest. They were greatly embarras- sed when asked to remove the curious bags they carried upon their backs, though they were otherwise destitute of clothing. They seemed to think it an impropriety to disrobe them- selves of these bags in the presence ;of white men, and when they were induced to take, then: off they in- variably retired to the forest to do .so, and then bashfully returned to the white men. They are, apparently, an inoffensive race, and there was no evidence of the bloodthirsty character' !sties that distinguished certain of the Papuans. - Men 4,Feet 6 Inches Tall The expedition took measurements of about forty adult men, most of them in the prime of life. Their average height was found to be 4 feet 9 inches, ,some of them being less than 4 feet 6 inches, and the average being made up probably by the inclusion of a few half-breeds, the product of a union of Papuans and pygmies. The explorers emphasize the fact that they did not look like stunted men who might have been bigger, but like miniature men. They are cleanly built and active, with well -made legs which were in contrast two the thin-shanked Papuan's. This feature is explained by the fact that they dwell in the hills and hillmen .as a rule have well -shaped, muscular legs. The color of their skin is paler than that of the Papuans, some of them being almost yellow, but since they were one and all indescribably ;dirty It was difficult to be certain what their natural color was, a black oily mixture that they smeared over themselves making observations on this point fruitless. The hair is short, woolly and black, but some of then mix a sort of lime or laud in it to give a lighter appearance, though Mr. Wollaston is of opinion that he saw some genuine brown hair among the men. Roaming the Mountains Oddly enough the men grow bald at a comparatively early age, although most of them wear no covering upon their heads at all, The nose of the :pygmy is straight and very wide at the nostrils, and the upper lip of many is very long and curiously convex. The eyes, too, are noticeably large and sound, giving the pygmies a some- what' melancholy and dog -like look, The ornaments are few and simple, and tattooing appears to be unknown .amongathem, though they followed the custom of piercing the ears and nos- trils, and in the slits carried bits (>: 'polished bone and other curious trin- kets. These pygmies dwell in no regular villages, which may explain the fact that they have escaped the observation of explorers until the present time, but wander among the hills, subsisting on roots, herbs and :such animals as they can snare or kill with their bows. Their huts are remarkably well constructed of palm leaf fans, and the pygmies occupy them in family groups. The only metal tool or instrument they use is a small wedge-shaped piece of iron, one inch by two inches, inserted into a wooden handle. This they use as t an axe, and the explorers say that with no other implement they have cleared many acres of dense forest, and have even felled trees of twelve or fifteen feet in circumference after the toil of many weeks. Tribes Without Religion They are fire makers, and by Eric - tion of a piece of rattan and tinder they can produce a blaze in a few seconds. They are wonderfully expert in this task; and seemed to think the matches of the explorers a small im• provement on their crude methods, The Pygmies are on friendly terms with the Papuans of the lower country, and frequently visit them for the pur- poses of barter. They grow tobacco In the hills, and the Papuans do not, so they are welcomed when they come down with a store of the bitter• weed, which they smoke in the form of cigarettes. If they have any religion at all, the explorers were unable to discover it, but of course the absence of a satisfactory medium of conver- sation would prevent the exchange of ideas on abstract subjects. The Papuans seem to be little better off, for they have no religion either, and the idols they carve are treated with oontempt or derision.

Let, it give YOU ease and coahfort. Druggists and Stares everywhere Batter Pudding Sift a pint of flour with two rounded teaspoonful of baking powder and half teaspoonful of salt. Repeat the sifting once or twice. Then rub through the mixture a tablespoonfnl of butter and add a little milk, enough' to make a batter of the consistency of soft biscuit, Butter little custard cups and lightly dredge with sugar. This fine sprinkling of sugar over the butter will, when the puddings are turned out, give them a fine glazed surface. Put a big spoonful of the dough into each cup. Steam the little puddings for 20 minutes, taking care not to look at then during that time nor to disturb them in any way. Do not let the water under the steam er cease to boil for a minute, It should keep up a constant boiling. Strawberrys'may he stirred into the batter before cooking if desired. In that case an ordinary hard sauce may be preferred in place of a strawberry sauce. Raisins or in fact any pre served or fresh fruit, may be used if preferred. Strawberry Sauce For a strawberry sauce, cream a cup of sugar with half a cupful of butter and stir in mashed strawberry pulp to make a bright red mixture, So. me palates will prefer a eupfnl of berry pulp for every cupful of sugar and half cupful of butter. If the berries are sour, more sugar in pro. portion will have to be used. The juice of preserved or canned cherries makes a sauce that is suitable when cherries are ccoked in the pudding. Sweet Omelet, For this dessert a delicate sweet omelet is spread before folding with a strawberry mixture prepared as folio's: Mix two ounces of the powdered sugar with a pint of very ripe strawberrus. Add a teaspoonful of vanilla essence andtwo teaspoonfuls of water, Mix alt well together and let the mixture stand for le minutes. After spreading over the omelet and folding. let it standfor just half a minute and turn it out on a hot ,dish Sprinkle two tablespoonfuls of sugar over the omelet and glaze the surface with a salamander. Fruit Fritters. A batter that is good for fresh fruit fritters calls for one pint of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one of sugar, one of cream of tartar, withhalf ateaspoonlul of soda, one egg, half a pintof milk and one tablespoonful' of olive oil. Sift to- gether the flour, cream of tarter, soda, salt and sugar. Add the egg, after beating it light, to the milk, then stir them into the flour and other dry ingredients. When the batter is light and smooth stir the oil into it and it is ready for use.

Perhaps that may be so, hut it's open to a lot of criticism. What Clinton man, who wears collars seven days a week. can get tbrough on six collars a year.? Wocild he care to wear ties that sold at 2 for 25e ? And more than that, we don't reckon that the average man would feel very much decorated in a pair of $2 trousers, especially as the list makes no provision for suspenders to hold them on. It's easy to draw up lists but it's not so easy to whittle the average man's taste down to them As far as the ladies' list is concerned, we'd very much tike to see a present. able hat for 2t outside a rummage sale, and it's not likely that, Clinton women would be overly anxious to wipe their dear little noses on hankerchiefs that cost 60 cents a dozen. 1' our shirt waists at 25 reads like afire sale, while 3 wash dresses for $3.50 suggests a forced sale where bankruptcy was being fought all.

The condition of the blood snakes all the difference between health .and sickness, Impure blood . and strong healthy nerves and muscles never go together. If the blood is thin every part of the body becomes Tweak. The stomach fails in strengh and the ap petite becomes' poor, The body does not obtain enough nourishment from the food, and soon the nerves begin to complain and the person becomes, irritable, despondent, worn out and nervous. Fot' a time there is no de fence against disease and from such a condition spring disorders such as anaemia rheumatism, indigestion; neuralgia, and even paralysis itself. People with impure, thin blood should take Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, Every dose helps to make new, rich blood, and new blood means health and strength, They stop the probress of disease, and. red cheeks, goal appetite, new strengh, declare the general improvement in, the health. Here is an example. Miss Ellen Maude McQuodale, Harris ton, Ont., says: '.'i feel it my duty to ' add my voice to the many now recommending Dr. Williams Pink Pills.' For years I was a sufferer with backaches, rheumat ism and nervousness. I was so bad at times that I waseonfined to my bed. I felt sleepy and heavy after my meals, and a difficulty in collecting my thoughts. After using several remedies without benefit I began using Dr. Williams Pink Pills and used ten or twelve boxes in all. They gave me the best health and I have not since hi td the least return of the troutle. You can get those Pills from any dealer in medicine by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 32.50 from The Dr. Williams' 11ledicine On., Brock ville, Out; Justice of Redistribution The Winnipeg Tribune argues that it is quite out of the question that Mr. Borden should appeal to the country on the naval or any other issue without first having a redistribution of seats so as to secure a reasonable measure of justice to the west. At present British Oolumbia has one member for every 60,165 inhabitants, Alberta one for every 53,532 Saskatchewan one for every 49,243, Manitoba one for every 45,561, an average of 49,730 people for every member in the four Western Provivices. In the Easteru Provinces. Ontario has one member for every 29,310 inhabitants, Quebec one for every 00,510, New Brunswick one for every 27,068 Nova Scotia one for every 27,352 and Prince Edward Island one for every 23,432, 011 average for the live Provinces of 20,370 persons for every member. The average number from the Nest ern Provinces rem etents over 20,000 more people than does the average member from the eastern Provinces, As is well known, the ratio of re presentation is fixed by the Province of Quebec with its stationary sixtyfive members. Under the census of 1011 this allows one member for anproxtm ately every 30,800 people. The redis tribution would therefore fix the representatives t s follows. Ontario 82 Quebec 65 Saskatchewan Nova Scotia 15 Manitoba 14 British Columbia 12 Alberta 123 New Brunswick 11 Prince Edward Island 3 Yukon 1 Under fair redistribution Ontario will lose four members, Nova Scotia three, New Brunswick two and Prince Edward Island one British Columbia will gain five, Alberta five, Ssskatehe wan five and Manitoba four. The Provinces east of the Great Lakes will collectively lose ten members and the western Provinces will gain nineteen. The Tribune has undouhtdly made out a veru strong case tor redistribu tion, and the Government will not be able to disregard it much longer. the throat and lungs. ,. .: 35 cents. 1 It is rather amazing that It has dared to defy western sentituent so long as it has done ,and to keep. back a measure whose reasonableness is quite evident to the whole country irrespective of the constitutional requirement of a redistribution after each census.

The United States Supreme Oourt has held the newspapers law of the republic to be constitutional, and it therefore stands. Reputable news- papers of the States are welcoming the decision of the eourte. The new law requires that the news- paper publisher shall at stated periods publicly announce the names of the shareholders of his newspaper. It does other things, but this is the feature of the legislative, In view of the semi- public responsibility of the newspaper, the requirement irust be recognized as eminently in place. When the newspaper -reading public has been seized of the men who are behind their newspaper they will the better be ahle to judge the weight to the opinions which the newspaper may offer and to have regard for the color of the news which the newspaper may produce. But the public are wholly at a disadvantage when, for example, the fact is kept from them that the owner of the newspaper they may place their confidence in is the property of private interests whose ends are sought subtlety to be served through the medium of the paper. At the meeting this week of the ad- vertising men of the continent the manager of a great Chicago daily newspaper lamented what he contend- ed to be a fact that the newspaper to day has failed to retain its standing in community because it has not main - tamed the standards of righteousness in business which are essental. There had been too much circulation lying and too little attention to the honest presentation of the news. Special interests and politics had crept in to the damage of the newspaper as an in - situation of th= country. It was felt by many that the criticism was harsh. Harsh it may have been. But the lesson that is conveyed to newspapers is that there is nothing more to be valued than the nonfidence of the people and that this confidence only an be secured and retained by Too Much Land Taken up In Roads and Fencing' An agricultural writer says that the country roads are too wide; that 220 acres in each township is devoted to roads which if tnado into a farm Would yield some one a comfortable income, He says farmers should set their fences out twelve and one-half feet. .Upon this the Emporia Gazette makes the comment that farmers do not utilize all the land they have en- closed. There are, it says, numerous and sundry patches which, if cults- Vated, would add materially to his in- come. "Suppose he gets after those wastes before he goes in for turning the beautiful wide lanes of the; prairies `into mere courts." Both these suggestions are signs of a change in agricultural methods. In the United States, as in Canada, farm- ing has been done with careless pro- digality. For this the farmer is not to be blamed. There was plenty of land, and therefore, no apparent need to husband its resources or restore its fertility. In the early history of the United States, the farmer moved from place to place, tapping the wealth' of new regions, very much as miners flock to a district where gold has been discovered. Although this involved waste, it was not altogether evil in its influence. It fostered the pioneer spirit, hastened the development of the country and the building of railways, i But how it Is perceived that the resources of the" country are not in- exhaustible. Although all the land has not been occupied, there are no new and vast regiono to attract the pioneer, Conservation of resources becomes a watchword. Desert lands are made fertile by irrigation. Atten- tion is paid to the Southern States, which so long lay under the blight `of slave labor. In France every foot of soil is utilized, and wonderful results are achieved. A country not as large as, Texas produces a third as much wheat as the United States, large quantities of other grains and roots, while there are nearly four 'million acres of vine- yards yielding grapes which are manu- factured annfactured into 627,000,000 gallons of wine. The whole country presents the appearance of a garden. Of course the United States and Canada are a long way off from this stage of agricultural development, which is due partly to thrift, partly. to necessity. But we are bound to move in that direction.—The Star, Goderich Township 011 Boys Reunion at llolmesville July 1st :MINOR LOCALS. Clinton Orangemen will go to Ilen-'i sail for July 12th.
