lio the Editor of Tna Ream Emerson.
Stn.—The egg industry seems to be
growing so rapidly in this country,
and so much Interest seems to be
manifested by many of our merchants,
peddlers, speculators and others, that
the trade in this commodity has become
ao speculative in its character that it
comes next to the New Yotk stock ex-
change. Considerable reproach has been
throsten at Mr. Wilson for the ridiculously
low price of ten cents which is now paid
by him for eggs, and the general cry is
that he, Mr. Wilson, rnonopolizea the
entire egg trade and thus fixes his own
price. To those who cannot read, or are
without the aid of any eommercial
papers, this belief may be well fo.unded,
but otherwise this feeling can have little
weight, as daily reports can be seen
from all the principal markets, both in
the United States and Canada which
o to show that they have never
been more than, two or three cents in
advance of Mr. Wilson's prices. This,
taking the expense of collecting, pack-
ing and shipping, not to count loss in
breakage, would be a small margin to
work on. Nevertheless from the large
quantity of eggs handled by him, I
don't doubt but he is making money at
his business.
There is one thing, however, I am not
ao well posted in, and that is to know
how some of our merchants can pay
twelve cents peg dozen and sell them to
Mr. -Wilson fo
thought th at the
industries carri
proprietor for th
ten. I have always
ercantile was lik e other
on to remunerate the
time and capital he
had invested, or, as it may be called,
"profit," or - do store -keepers -allow a
loss of two cents on every twelve out of
the profits. If so why don't cash Com-
mand the same discount? For ex7
ample I go into a store and. buy a half
pound of tobacco for which I lay down
twenty-five cents, too small a sum for
iliscount. My neighbor comes in with
24 dozen eggs and gets ' a half pound
of tobacco and has five cents left for
any thing else he wishes to buy.. Or,
again, I go in and buy 10 yards of print
at Iacents per yard, for which I pay
one dollar cash ; if I get discount it will
be 5 or 8 per cent at most, while my
neighbor comes in with 10 dozen eggs
and buys 12 yards of the same print, or
ire receives 12 yards for a dollar's worth
of eggs while I get only 10 yards for
ninety-two cents. If there is any
honesty in this kind of dealing I am at
a losato see it, and can come to no other
conclusion than that the loss must be
-
-made out of something else, or that the
merchants who do this kind of business
are not carrying on a legitimate trade.
As a rule, the general public cannot be
blindfolded in such a. way, and if the
merchants knew the outside feeling in
this respect, they 'would not resort to
any such traps. Yours,_

Liquor Lioense Provisions.
A contemporary calls attention to
some of the changes made in the Crooks
Act last session, which those concerned
would do well to heed: The new lizense
act which comes into force on May 1st
contains some new and, striking provis-
ions. A light in a bar -room duridg pro-
hibited hours shall, imcler the new act,
be cleerried prima facie evidence of the
sale of liquor; also any proprietor allow-
ing persons to frequent his bar -room
during prohibited hours -shall be deemed
guilty of an infringement of the at.
Persons, net inmates of the house, found
in bar -rooms are liable to a fine of not
more than $10, or less than $2 for each
offence. It also becomes a punishable
offence for a dealer to dispose of liquor
to any person who sells illegally. Any
holder of a beer and light wine license
convicted of selling ardent spirits shall
be disqualified from_ holding a license
for the succeeding year. Any munici- 1 . .
pal 001111GII has a right to pass a by-law thinking -cap, and the result was a draw
-
prohibiting shopkeepers who hold li- mg of a set of figures upon glass with
censes from selling anything else than
liquor.
THE HURON EXPOSITOR.
slip of paper over as it lay there on the
floor.
Mr. Drew went out. The eager crowd
gathered up the white scrap, and this in
the Wall street king's own unmistakable
handwriting is what it said: "Buy me'
all the Oshkosh stock you can at any
price you can get it below par." Oshkosh
was already pretty .high. E very body
was agreeing that it was too high, and
that a tumble was inevitable, but the
handwriting of the millionaire operator
plainly exposed on that slip Of ipaper
was sufficient to convince the eager
crowd in that club -room that night
that some new scheme must be afloat to
send it further skyward. Right through
the mill -stone they saw it all, and then
they made up a pool to buy 20,000 or
30,000 shares the next day. They did,
and the man who sold it to them was
Daniel Drew. He blandly told them all
about it as they saw their money all
going to pot, Oshkosh declining a
dozen points a day. Mr. Drew's hand-
kerchief exercise had been carefully
planned.
Happy Accidents.
Many accidents, very trifling in them-
selves, have led to the most valuable
discoveries and inventions. Some of
them, perhaps, are not so familiar to all
of us as the fat that the swaying chan-
delier in a cathedral suggested to Gali-
leo the application of the pendulum.
How few know that for the method of
refining sugar with wet clay we are in-
debted to a hen ! Having just returned
from a promenade over a neighboring
moist clay bank, she stepped into a
ladle of brown sugar lying on the floor,
and wherever her tracks were found the
sugar was thoroughly whitened -But if
old Biddy's sojourn that day had been
among those who having eyes see not,
and having ears hear not, her valuable
lesson would not have been learned. It
is the observant only who put tonse
these "trifles light as air." While
holding a pair of spectacles between his
thumb and finger, a watchmaker's ap-
prentice.was surprised at thosud'ilen en-
larged appearance of a near church spire,
and thus was discovered the power of
lenses as applied to telescopes, opera
glasses, etc. The truth of the proverb
that "Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion" was never more clearly proven,
perhaps, than by the discovery eof the
art of lithography. The poverty of a
mutician induced him to try the experi-
ment of etching music upon stone in-
stead of copper. Just as he had his slab
prepared for the trial, his rnother asked
him to make out a memorandum of the
clothes for the laundry. Pen, ink and
papeebeing inconvenient, he wrote the
list upon the stone With the etching
preparation, from whieh to make a copy
of it at leisure. When about to clean
the stone, a few days later, he was sud-
denly seized with the desire to try the
effect of aquafortis upon it, and lo ! in a
few moments the writing stood out in
bold relief. The next. step necessary
was to ink the stone and take off the
impression. Tinted paper, so dear to
the esthetic maiden's heart, had its
origin in a very prosaic accident. The
wife of an English paper -maker drop-
ped. a blue -bag into one of the vats of
pulp, and was so frightened at the con-
sternation it caused among the work-
men, and at the anger of her husband,
that she had not courage to confess her
carelessness, and the damaged paper was
stored for several year's, when it was
sent to a London agent to be sold for
what it would bring. The paper was
accepted as a novelty, and disposed of
quite profitably, and the manufacturer
received an order for a large invoice of
the same, whereupon the wife acknow-
ledged the accident of the blue -bag,
which in time led on to a fortune. A
glass cutter accidentallY spilled a few
drops of aquafortis upon his eye -glasses,
and noticed that they became corroded
and softened thereby. He put on his
Cleanliness in the Dairy.
A well-known dairy writer some
years- ago remarked : A putrid car
cass polluting the air pf a pasture spoils
not only the milk of the cows running
there, but also the contents of all with
which it comes in contact." Yet it is
. not putrid carcassei in the field (hor-
rible enough) that vitiate milk and its
products exclusively. It is due to of-
fensive odors of the stable -yard and
places where milk is kept. Milk and
cream easily take up odors coming in
conta.4 with them, and the sooner
dairymen and dairywomen generally
recognize this fact the sooner will the
average standard of milk products be
raised. A noted dairywoman once told,
the writer that she thought the roses,
near her dairy window gave her pure
butter its delicate aroma.- The roses
certainly did not hurt her butter, but
her scrupulous cleanliness and that of
the surroundings, and of every act of
manipulation, formed the key -note to
her success in the production of fine
butter.—Chicago Tribune.
•
Innocent Uncle Daniel.
The blunder of a messenger boy in the
stock -exchange a day or two ago, by
which an order intended for one broker
was given to another, and the operations
of a prominent speculator exposed,recalls
a story that Wall street men love to tell
of dead and gone Uncle Daniel Drew.
Mr. Drew was squeezed one famous day
by operators in Northwest stock, and he
laid down a big pile of money in losses.
Not unnaturally, Mr. Drew felt grieved,
- while other people were correspondingly
high-spirited and happy. It was a great
thing to catch the wily deacon napping,
and a hundred jokes went the rounds in
celebration of his 'upsetting. Some of
these bits of humor fell upon Uncle
Daniel's own ears, but he didn't seem
to pay much heed to comments that
made all the rest of Wall street. laugh
. .
One evening a big congreuation of
these men were in an uptown cli7b when,
all unexpected, in marched Uncle Daniel
Drew. Ite had called only for a moment;
he was hunting for a man whom he did
not find. It was not an excessively
. warm night, but Miele Daniel seemed to
be much over -heated, and two or three
times he drew out his big white han1.-
kerchief and bathed his face in it; and
- finally outof his pocket with the hand-
kerchief came a slip of white fiaper to
float and circle around till it settled at
his feet on the floor. Mr. Drew didn't
notice that he had lost anything ; the
speculativegentlemen before him did,
and the foot of one enterprising
broker was big enough to cover the
varnish, afterwards applying the cor-
roding fluid and cutting away the glass
ce.round the drawing. When the varnish
was removed, the figures appeared
raised upon a dark ground. A paper -
maker one day strolled through a field,
and thoughtlessly plucked a few straws
and put them in his mouth, where, to
his surprise, they were soon reduced to
a pulpy matter closely resembling the
substance frond which paper is made.
He set to work to try the experiment -in
his mill, and, after great perseverance,
paper was manufactured out of straw.—

flattened the leaves of the book, hiaeyesi
evenat this trying moment, lit up with
something 'akin to . that keen sense- of
humor so characteristic *of him, and he
began his speech. His words fell like
the rattling of artillery upon the aston-
ished, spell -bound audience, andwith-
out leaving the box the jury returned
a verdict of "not guilty.' He cleared
the prisoner and.fOund the witness guilty
of perjury. • .
. But, - gentlemen," said Lincoln,
years after in telling this story, "1 was
careful to keep that almanac in my
hand the while; and to carry it out Of
court with me—there was no other copy
there."
"What had the almanac to do with
it !" questioned my friend.
"It was a year old," said Lincoln,
with a twinkle of humor in his eye,
"and proved conclusively that the moon
did not shine on the night of the murder
the previous year. When the truth
leaked out, as of cburse it did, they
could not try the man over again, _ and
wisely concluded that silence is golden."'
—Atlanta Constitution.
The Farmer Done.
An English farmer- travelling through
Scotland happened to come to a town
where a 'cheese ,...show. was being held.
As he was looking through the cheeses,
one of the judges, a cauny old Scot, said
to one ' of his: friends: "1 think that
chappie pretends to ken a trifle ower
much. I will have a lark with him."
Takingtwo pieces of cheese, he went
over tolim, and said, "Hey, sir, would
ye be sae kind as to tell me the differ-
ence in price, to the best of your abili-
ty?" Holding one of the pieces in his
hand, after he had tasted them both,
the stranger .said: This one.is two-
pence per pound better than the other."
" Strange, very strange," said Swaney,
"and them baith aff. the same cheese !"
The stranger hurriedly left amidst the
roars of laughter of 'the bystanders.
Fact and Rumor,
• —The immense gun constructed at
ElsWick for the British Government has
a total weight of 200 tons, being consid-
erably in 'excess of previous undertak-
ings. Its length is stated at some 44
feet, though with an extreme diameter
at the breech of but five. feet six inches,
a very elongated chase or barrel taper-
ing down to 28 inches, with a slight
swelling at the muzzle.
—An affecting. scene wits witnessed in
the revision court at Dublin a few days
ago. A stalwart workingman buret
into tears a,nd held a handkerchief to his
fare when told he had no vote. The re-
vising barrister said that inasmuch as
the man took the matter so much to
heart, he would, with the general con -
.sent, admit him to the franchise. This
was done, to the great joy of the claim-
ant. After all, John Bright's idea of
the ballot -is the best "One man, one
vote. "
—At a regular mass -meeting of the
Scandinavians in South Minneapolis, a
few nights since, the pastor, having
heard that one John Johnson wanted to
join the -church, said: " Will John
Johnson, if present, please stand up ?"
Nearly all the men present stood up.
The bewildered preaeher looke,d around
awhile and then said, "You may. sit
down; Mr. Johnson. I will call a meet-
ing of you some time next week in the
Coliseum. —Minneapolis Mercury.
A clever swindle was tat of a Boston
man who built two houses side by side,
one for himself and one to sell. In the I
house he sold he had placed a. furnace s
against the party wall of the cellar, and
from its hot air chamber he had con-
structed flues to heat his own domicile.
The owner of the other house found it
very hard to keep his own house warm,.
and was astonished at the amount of coal
it took to.render his family comfortable,
'while the dishonestbuilder kept himself
warm at his neighbor's expense nearly a
whole winter before the sharp trick was
discovered.

I know there is a God as I look about
me. Everything about me whispers
back: "The band that made is divine,"
and when I have read this theory of evo-
lution I never turn back with more
avidity to reY home after a long absence
than I turn back to the blessed Book of
Genesis and read it, after wading about
in Darwinism and such theories as -that.
I don't know what God made Darwin
and his progenitors out of to start with,
but I do know that God made my grand-
father a man from the stump. I believe
he made me a full-fledged full-grown
man. I believe that I am glad I never
came up through tadpoles and such like,
but I tell you it doesn't minimize God a
bit, for it takes a good and great God to
make even an , animalcula3 that would
develop into a man as to make a man to
start with. I find evidences of God all
around me.
A New Lincoln Anecdote.
In his boyhood, Lincoln was befriend-
ed by a family in humble circumstances,
who generously aided him in the effort
to attain advancement in life. He after-
ward left his little town te seek a wider
sphere of action with a mental vow one
day to repay the kindness of these unsel-
fish friends. After many years he re-
turned to the scene of his early struggle,
a successful lawyer, with -a name already
known to fame. The community was
agitated over a murder committed in its
midst by One of its townsfolk. Lincoln
was requested to undertake the defense;
the particulars were furnished him, and
by a strange interposition of fate he saw
the way to repay his early debt—for the
accused was the son of his early friend.
There was little chance to refute the evil
dence against the young man, for two
respected citizens swore to the recogni-
tion of his face by the light of the moon
as they surprised him by the side of his
victim. Lincoln arose to open the de-
fense.- He carelessly asked for an al-
manac, which he saw lying on the clerk's
desk, simply -for the sake of gaining
time, while he sought in his mind for a
clew to the sympathies of the jury—a
cold, hard set of men, witAi convictions
already foinied. As he abstractedly

friends can buy up pews enough before
the parish meeting, they will, of course,
call him. If the other side gets the
pews, Mr. 's friends will be left.
You laugh, but the control of a church
is a good deal like the control of a bank
or railroad liiwadays. If you can buy
up a majority of the pews, you can run
it to suit yourself.' "
Catarrh—a New Treatment.
Perhaps the most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been :cured
of this stubborn malady. This is none the less
startling when it is remembered that no five per
cent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at all. Starting with thq
claim now generally believed by the most scien-
tific men that the disease is due to the presence
of living parasites in the tissue, Mr. Dixon- at
once adapted his cure to their extennination—
ehis accomplished, he claims the Catarrh is prao-
tically cured, and the permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures effected by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat
ment has ever cured Catarrh. The application
of the remedy is simple, and can be done at
home, and. the present season et the year is the
most favorable for a Speedy and permanent cure,
the majority of cases being cured at one treat-
ment. Sufferers should correspond with Messrs.
,A. H. DIXON & SON, 305 King Street, West,
Toronto, Canada, and enclose stamp for 'their
treatise on Catarrh.—Montreal Star, November

Pleasant Worm Syrup
HAS BECOME A HOUSEHOLD
NECESSITY WITH MOTHERS
OF FAMILIES.
I. Because it never fails to remove worms from
the system.
II. Because of its perfect harmlessness to the
constitution of the smallest or mit delicate
child.
111. Because of its economy, as a bottle in the
house will save many a doctor's visit.
IV. Special. Because when administering
medicine to young children pleasantness of taste
should be of an importance, second only to
the efficacy of the preparation, and this syrup is
so made that no child will refuse to take it, so
.agreeable and aromatic is its flavor.,
' Try it and take no other.
