Hamill 'against Dr. Jas, McBride; to recover a commission for getting him . a position on the medical staff at the Kepley Insti- tute. The plaintiff, who describes him- self as a medical broker, buying and sell- ing medical practices, sought to recover $70. He explained that the Keeley In- stitute had asked him to get a doctor, and an application came from the defend- ant, who, he claimed, agreed to pay over a commission of ten per cent of his sal- ary alary monthly for eleven months, .which worked out at $10 a month, He stated that the doctor paid four installments, and then forwarded hint a letter to the effect that if he (McBride) had signed any such contract he must have been "crazy," or a fool. "A fit subject for the Keeley Insti- tute," remarked the Judge, as he glanced over the contract which the plaintiff claimed the defendant had signed.

CHURCH LOST FIGHT Marriage With Deceased Wife's Sister Declared Legal. London, Jan. 3. — The Church of England has fought a great fight against the Iegalization of marriage with a deceased wife's sister as far as the Court of Appeals, and lost it. An appeal to 'the House of Lords is still possible, but in the meantime the course of, this historic case has run as follows A. Mr. Baniste,Je axing married his deceased wife's sister: in circumstances which the recent Act legalized, was barred from the holy .co rmunion rt his parish church by the rector, CaiXon Thompson. Mr. Banister's first step was to take action in the ecclesiastical court known as the Court of Arches. There Sir Lewis Dibdin, Dean of the Arches, ,decided against Canon Thompson. Ca. „ps > applied to thea a pro- 1Tf, o.t t . e ground that Sir Lewis Dibdin had improperly construed the law. The King's Bench also decided against Canon' Thomp- son, one of the three judges support- ing hila. The canon then appealed, and the Court of Appeals has now un- animously nanimously affirmed the decision of the majority of the count below. "1 speaia' for Zam-Buk because it cured me'of a terribly bade foot," says Mrs. Alice Berryman of 190 John St. North, Hamilton. She adds: " The injury was caused by a wagon wheel, and the sore was on my right foot. It be- came very in@ ,reed and swollen and so painful that I Anted away. In spite of treatment, the wound got no better and the foot became more and more swollen until it was several times its usual size. The flesh was terribly bruised and black- ened and it was quite impossible for me to walk. ...My husband's mother at last brought me a box of Zam-Buk. This was applied to the foot and items sur- prising how soon I found relief from the severe pain. A further supply of Zam- Buk was obtained and I persevered in using this balm alone. In a couple of days the swelling had gone down con- siderably,the discoloration was less distinct and the pain was banished. In four days' could go about as usual : the bruised; and injured foot had been thor- oughly mired by the timely use of Zam- Buie. Did you ever ask yourself : " How is it that Zam-Buk is so popular ?" It is because it is superior and different to other salves. Contrast them 1 Most salves are nine -tenths animal oil or fat. Zam-Buk hasn't a trace of animal fat in it. Most salves contain mineral coloring matter. Zam-Buk is absolutely without 1 Many salves contain poisonous astringents. Zam- Buk doesn't.

Mrs. Frank St. Denis of 305 Thomp- son St., Winnipeg, speaks for Zam-Buk because it cured her of a poisoned finger, which had caused her days of agony. Hear her experience.. She says: " One morning, while washing, I felt a slight pain in the end of my finger. This gradually got more acute until by the evening of the next day the end of the finger had become swollen and hard and so blue I became alarmed. "The pain f'nm it was almost too much to bear. It made me turn quite sick ! Poultices of drat one kind and then another were applied, but seemed to give me no relief. My daughter-in-law, who had bad some previous experience with Zam-Buk obtained a box for me. I anointed the sore place liberally with this balm, and in a few hours, the throbbing aching pains were subdued." Further applications of Zam-I3uk gave me more ease, so that I could get little sleep.

Elk Lake, Jan, 3.— On Sunday night a Frenchman named Lamone, in one of J.. R. Booth's lumber camps, near here, went suddenly insane. Arm- ed with an axe, he ran amuck through the camp in pursuit of an imaginary enemy, who he thought had taken re- fuge in the blacksmith's shop. With the axe he began to attack the door, but was overpowered before he suc- ceeded in breaking it down. He was taken under -•a close guard to the lockup here, where he was examined by Dr. Harcourt, who ordered his de- tention till he could be sent out. The unfortunate man comes from the neighborhood of Otter Lake, where he has a wife and family. This is the second case of the kind here within the past mouth. Christmas Day passed quietly here for a mining town. a s BIG INTEREST Premised by the Societe Des Beaux Arts of Montreal. Montreal, Jan. 3: — A case of excep- tional interest will be heard in the Court of Special Sessions to -morrow, when the Crown commences its action against the Societe des Beaux Arts. This was a so- ciety which advertised that it would pay phenomenal rates of interest to patrons who paid in certain amounts weekly. As rinuch as 66 per cent. interest was pro- mised; and in some instances; it is said, paid. The payments were supposed to extend over a period of eight years.

As the season is nearing when horses will be more stabled than they will be worked, it is well that their diet receive some study and investigation. For such the bran -mash has pro'ved to be an in- valuable adjunct to''tlie 'ordinary diet. As a laxative food it.ranks as one of the most useful, and -it is a food that is as a rule always available and readily ob- tainable. Horsemen generally give a bran -mash once a week (oftener if required) when no other laxative food is provided in the diet. Grain, hay and chaff, which is the ordinary diet of horses that are sta- bled, are apt to exert a binding effect. as this food is of a dry nature; and grain, When liberally fed, has a tendency to heat the system. These undesirable effects must be counteracted by provid- ing laxative food, and the bran -mash has been found to be the most valuable for this purpose. The beneficial part of the bran -mash is that it relaxes the bowels nicely and does not act on them in a :violent man- ner, nor does it purge. - Besides it is cooling, and has a wholesome effect upon the animal. When horses have undergone an unusually severe exertion, and are very tired and exhausted, a warm bran -mash proves a soothing, pal- atable and easily digested food. For a sick horse, these mashes are 'excellent, as they suit the animal's requirements and tempt the appetite. As a general thing, horses are fond of these bran -mashes; yet once in a while an animal will. be found that shows no liking for then'— Such eases, however, are rare. But when that is the fact, the horse can be induced to eat them by adding a handful or two of oats. The proper way to prepare the mast is to use sufficient boiling rater to wet all the bran thoroughly-. This Should be done in a bucket, which should then be covered over and the mash allowed to steam for about a half-hour. This steaming will partially cook the bran. thus making it all the More effective and soothing. It is well to add a pinch of salt. The usual quantity of bran used is from a half to three-quarters of a peck. It is al ars best to feed the mash in a lukewarm state. but never •must be given while hot. .Sometimes the mashes are prepared with cold water, but they do not have the same beneficial acid soothing effect as when hot water is us- ed. It is the steaming that the bran gets that gives the desired effects. Bran fed dry does not possess any laxative ef- fects, and exerts no particular action on the bowels of the horse. The Australian horseman says all stabled horses ought to be given, at any rate, one bran -mash in the week, unles they receive plenty of roots or greer forage, and, as a rule, it is advisable tc provide them with mashes twice weekly Speaking in a general way, it may be said that bran -mashes are not made use of in the stable nearly as often as ought to be done. There are, of course, somr horses which are predisposed to some for such, one mash in the week will bt ample. But horses of average constitu tion can well do with them more fre guently. 'Whenever a horse appears tc be at all constipated it should have ; bran -mash, which will quickly set mat ters right. In some staples the practice is adopt ed of omitting the grain ration when 1 mash is supplied, but there is no actual need to do this. In fact, unless the horse is to -have a complete rest or the following day, this should not b, done, as it hardly does to deprive the animal of a whole feed of grain if it it to work the next day. It is never ad visable to feed an unduly large bran mash to a horse. It is far better to glue small meshes at frequent intervals that to feed very large ones at longer inter vale. WHY PLOW? Plowing is necessary to the maintain ing of soil -depth. Under cultivation, th, surface soil'slowly but surely wastes, at all will have"iotived. The proper depth: of soil for beet results differs, ,aecordinl to the character of the soil, no doubt but that a certain depth is necessary will not be disputed by anyone. If the waste of soil goes on, haw can depth al loam be maintained, except by bringing =up from the subsoil a little occasionally , to become incorporated with the layer above?—Farmer's Advocate. 11#11 ��.+ ,A� ave BUTTER ALT R fir+411.,9 INN% There is hardly a farmer's daughter in Canada who does not know Windsor Salt.
