Ross at the Canadian Club —Senator Jaffray and. Slr Mackenzie Sowell—The Now Judge—Real Estate. Sir George W. Ross does not often make public addresses now, but whenever he close he is sure of a large audience and rapt attendance. Nor does he ever disap- Point expectations either in the matter of his addresses or the manner of his deliv- ery, for he takes rank as one of the first, if not the very first orator that this Province has 'produced. Tho general esteem in which the former Premier is held was expressed on the occasion of his addressing the Canadian Club the other day by Mr. T. A. Russell, the presiding officer. It was not every one. he said, who could retire from high office to private life, and particularly to the Senate. and could retain such a grip on affairs and such influence with the public. Sir Georges subject was "The Panama Canal," •Ile briefly traded its history and then referred at length, to the various treaty obligatidns in connection there- with entered into by- the United States, demonstrating clearly that uy to the present year the United States, by the utterances of its pubiio men and by un- equivocal language in the most solemn treaties, ' has again and again declared that the Canal is to be open on equal terms, to the subjects and citizens of all nations, and that there should be no dis- crimination against ani., The action of the States now in seeking to exempt its own vessels from the terms of this treaty was inexplicable. A Masterly Address. Sir George's marshalling of the facts Was masterly: It is the first time any' Canadian of prominence has grappled ith the issue in public, and Sir George fearlessly and forcefully. The will, no doubt, furnish the cue As to future action, Sir George first, vigorous protests rrom second,. an appeal to the astly, if Uncle Sam refused the Hague, it was hinted ome form of retaliation effctive.

Robert Jaffray, who at another mem• her, of 'the old guard, furnishes another example , of the remarkable vitality of ,Canadian public men. Senator Jaffray is ever 80 years' old, but ho is 'literally as lively as a cricket. Indeed, during the last ten yearsiSena- tor Jaffray has been much more n the public eye than he was in earlier years. RA takes the keenest personal interest i'n' all public affairs, rarely missing any address at the Canadian Club, or else• where, for that matter, where any issue affecting Canada is, wider discussion. It is perhaps not generally known that Senator Jaffray is the one man more than any other who stands for the Globe news - Paper, and whom that paper represents. Hie nominal connection with it is that of President of the company. There are, of course, other directors and shareholders and a number of editors, but the man who is the court of last appeal on any matter of detail or in matters of large general policy is the Senator. Formerly, his attachment to the Globe was much more slender than it is now. He had other business interests -he has been in business in Toronto for sixty years -and the Globe was but a side line Imam h.,ii:. , po otbly" ;the heart, is called on for s ob. hard` and continuous activity. Eti;n the most musical ear is clever taxed be- gondthe three Or four hours a agnerian opera, .and at the worst is rested by frequent intermissions.` The brain, even in the case of pro- feesional: men, is -called on for only six to eight hours of work a. day.• 'But'- we use our eyes in business all, day, and then all evening in our amusements. .In point of £act, the heart itself is less severely taxed. The eye has, to be sure, a most marvelous strength. As long as its mechanism remains measurably cor- rect it seldom or ever gives out. And its vitality is supreme. But when to the strain of near work in artificial light are added defects in its own mechanism, even this wonderfully . adaptable and hardy servant gives symptoms of strain. The brain is generally our first Informer. It automatically' supplies the energy that flogs the lens ;muscle to its ceaseless task, and it is in the closest possible sympathy with the retina, the sensitive plate on which all vision is recorded. The brain declares its exhaustion in headache and vertigo. The master- ful eye, so to speak, shunts off its suffering upon the nearest neigh- bor. Yet in many eases even the brain gives no direct symptom.. it is the central organ, the highly vi- tal and complex master of the en- tire system, and it also has a su- Jerior way of passing on the kick.: ust how it does this oculists do not profess to know. The rule seems to be that eyestrain declares itself lir t in the organ which is nearest and weakest. The stomach, the fiver; -the intestines, the kidney, Che heart or the membranes of nose and throat may develop symptoms while the eye and the brain seem normal. Milk by the Yard. An Irishman passed a shop where notice was displayed saying that everything was sold by the yard. Thinking to play a joke on the shop- ;; mnarr, he entered and asked for a wardof milk, ;The shopman, not in the least takon'i aback, dipped his finger in a bowl of milk and drew a line a yard •ng on` the counter. Pa, not wishing to be caught in. his own trap, asked the price. "Sixpence," said the shopnian..,' "..4.11 right, sot.

Celleetora in London. ; "London's ashbarrels and gar- bage receptacles ,contain small for- tunes in valuables every week," says an official of the London (Eng- land) County Council's destructor works at Fulham "During the week -end enquiries have been made at the Council offices about a gold penknife, a diamond ring and a valuable cut -glans decanter, which are all supposed to have found their way into the garbage boxes of houses; in the West End. "Many of the curios and -valuable finds are never enquired for and aro only preserved because of the watchful eye of the refuse collector. The sorters come across queer finds at times, although the West End ash rakers often appropriate the valuables before our collectors ar- rive. "I heard some time ago of one of these persons who found a chate- laine bag in which were a set of false teeth, a purse with ten sover- eigns and a cheque book. As the latter was no use he returned it and received a reward." At the Fulham destructor works there is aroom set apart for the valuable articles found among the house refuse of London. d• A WONDERFUL CASE. Three Months in Hospital and Calue out Uncured. Zam-Buk Cured Him in Few Weeks Mr. Fred Mason, the well-known upholsterer and mattress manufac- turer of St. Andrew's, N.B., says "I had eczema on my knee, which caused me terrible pain and incon- venience. The sore parts would itch and burn and tingle, and then when rubbed or scratched, would become very painful. When the knee got warm, it burned worse, and the itching and burning and smarting were almost unbearable'. I tried various remedies, but got no better, so I decided to go to Montreal and take special treat- ment. I received treatment at the Montreal General Hospital for thirteen weeks, but at the end of that time I was not cured, and al- most gave in. A friend advised me to give Zam-Buk a trial. "Almost as soon as applied Zam Buk stopped the itching and the ir- I',xtatio I -severed with the e .r-e:Yatikts 'lii�l,. it would do me g ic«d. Each day the pain was reduced,'the sore spots began to heal, and by the time I had used a few boxes of Zam-Buk I was quite cured. "Since then Zam-Buk has cured blood -poison in my finger. For eczema, blood -poisoning, piles, ulcers, sores, abscesses, vari- cose ulcers, bad` leg, cold sores, chapped hands, cuts, burns, bruises and, all skin injuries and diseases, Zam-Buk is without equal.

Sams Origin for Slav "Oorrah" and English "Hurrah." Bennet Burleigh says that the Bulgarian cheer sounds very much like an English "hurrah" except that English people usually pro- nounce it "hurrah." Mr. Burleigh is not mistaken. The Bulgarian cheer is "Oorra,h," with no initial "H" and with an in- defiinite prolongation of the "ah." The Russian cheer is the same. It is the Slav variety of the Teutonic "Hurrah," used not only by the English but also by the Germans, Swedes, Danes and others. But its use is wider and more frequent iii the Slav than in the Teutonic coun- tries. Even in German "three cheers for the Kaiser" means not three hurrahs, but three times "Hoch !" (literally "High"). In Russia or Bulgaria "three cheers for the Czar" means three times ' "Oor- rah !" The Servian cheer is differ- ent. They usually shout "Zhivio 1" which is the equivalent of the French "Vive !" the Italian "Viva 1" and the Hungarian "Eljen !" Colored people in the Union of South Africa outnumber the whites by nearly four to one.
