temperance,
been rambiiieg on the
borders, and returned to Edinburgh to
-attend the lectures, having met Mr.
Cosshaan in London, and being aware of
his coming. We 11 took tea together.
-Km McLaren having a daughter with
him, Mr. McLaren was then just tam-
ed of sixty, a small, wiry Highland Tan,
quick in his movements, and somewhat
quick—almost jerky—in his speech.
Honorable George Brawn was to be mar-
ried the next week, and there was quite
a deal of gossip in Edinburgh about it.
I had 'been more than once asked "how
he got the title of honorable; there
were no hereditary honours in Canada."
It was the old story—a man had no
honour in his own country." "Well,"
said Mr McLaren, as he sipped his tea,
"I must say the young man has acted
very honourably. He called on me the
other day and introduced himself as the
11011. George Brown, of Canada, son of
Mr. Peter Brown, formerly merchant on
the North Bridge, and said there was an
old account of two pounds his father
owed me, which he wished to pay. I
said to him, I remember your fathervery
well—don't so well remember you—but
?never had any transactions in the way
of buying or selling with your father,
and cannot see how how he could owe
me. 'Well,' he said to me, 'It's all right,
Mr. McLaren I got the list from Mr.
Ireland, and there are two pounds in
your name, and. I want you to take it
from me," "And. I learn," added Mr.
McLaren," that he is doing the same
with all his father's creditors. It is cer-
tainly very honourable in the young
man. He was a fast friend of Sunday
closing, and all other temperance re-
forms. nave a membership card of the
Edinburgh Ladies Temperance Society,
with his neat signature_ as Honorary
Secretary. His then wife, now his sum
viv-hig widow, was a sister of John Bright..
Ma daughter, who went with us in the
cab to the leccare, was a round-faced
sedate girl of 18 or 19, now a matron of
middle age. The eldest of his four sons,
with a bodily figure still slighter than
that of his father, is a lord of the Court
of session in Scotland. The deceased
statesman and municipal reformer was
described to me before I saw him, as "the
citizen king of Edinburgh." A self-made
Irian, who for lack of schooling educated
himself, who took up liberty and reform
because they were right, and conquered
to success because he put heart, and
principle into everything that he did.
He died in peace in the bosom of his
family, Tuesday, April 27, aged 85.
W. W. SMITH.
Newmarket, June 5.
•
found necessary to close the ranch from
.visitors.
At one year old they are plucked for
the first time. They are supposed to
have attained full growth when they are
two years old, sometimes growilig a lit-
tle after that. Spectators are not al-
lowed to come very near; a fence weer
which strangers look has been pushed
farther and farther back, since it has
been discovered that people appear to
have an irresistible tending to wave
their hats at the birds and poke at them
with canes and parasols. The birds
would not get used to this, *and as they
.could not be irioved, the spectators had
to move. Beyond this fence no one is
allowed to go.
The bark of a dog disturbs an os-
trich. At .such sights these plume -
producing birds would be speeding
over the sandy plains through a
waste of wild mustard at a gait
that would astonish Phil Sheridan
Twenty Miles Away." When a
keeper approaches they emit a hiss-
ing sound like a goose, and try to
bite the man intruding. In their bills
they have no strength, aswe learned,
the younger birds in the front corrals
coming up to the fence in the most
friendly way, biting at our hands, and
allowing us to stroke their more than a
yard long necks. Unlike the emu,
which is often exhibited as the African
ostrich, they have but one toe on each
foot, and woe betide man or beast to
whom this weapon of defense is raised.
The kick is forward, and any one desir-
ing to get out this world in hot haste let
him come in the range of that toe that
cuts like a knife. The bird that was kill:
ed by one kick had its heart torn open
with a fearful wound. Of the new crop
of birds all are good shaped and fine-look-
ing sae one that walks on the back of its
clubbed foot, as the big single toe points
inward. All the birds walk after the style
of the "G-recian Bend" years ago among
the would-be fashionable girls; should
think "ostrich bend" Should be fitting
for this elasticity. The birds seem to be
treading on hot gridirons. The feet are
taken up rapidly and raised high, and
the head and body oscillate. This cus-
tom was recognized in heathen South
Africa, and is as old as the raneeef,these
most remarkable creatures.
Ferocity and most foolish fear seems
an inheritance everywhere. Some are
ill-tempered, but every one is dangerous
after three years. They are driven into
a V-shaped pen, and a stocking put over
their heads that their feathers may be
plucked. As, soon as it is hoy-eled it
will not kick unless it can see what it is
kicking at. The feathers (plumes) are
taken from the breast, wings and tail,all
above the dreaded kicking apparatus.
The keeper presses upon the bird from
behind, and as long as they keep behind
are safe, as the kick is always forward.
The man who plucks proceeds with dis-
patch. An adult bird is plucked every
seven months, yielding about twenty-
five long and fine feathers and several
"tips." The latter are taken from the
wings. On the back the feathres are
left for the protection of the bird. .Dur-
ing the plucking men have been kicked,
but not severely. Had the birds had a
tolerable forward kick the result would
be/atal.
• The Force of Imagination.
Many diseases and ailments from
which men suffer exist only in the
frightened victim's imagination. The
Philadelphia Times gives these amusing
'but forcible illustrations of this fact:
"'This is a singular case, sure
enough,' said a young physician a day
or tvvo ago, but there are a great many
diseases which exist only in the imagin-
ations of their supposed .vietirns.' The
doctor had been reading the story of
man who thought himself the victim of
heart disease until his physician dis-
covered that the creaking sound' of
which he complained whenever he took
a deep breath was caused by a little pul-
ley wheel on a pair of patent suspenders
which he wore. The doctor laughed
and laid down his paper. This is the
first case I ever heard of where suspend-
ers were to blame,' said he, but a great
deal of what passes for heart ,disease is
mild dyspepsia,. Nervousness is an aris-
tocratic name for irritability and bad
temper, and two-thirds of the so-called
malaria is nothing but laziness. A
fellow -practitioner once told me of an
old lady he knew of in Newburyport,
Massachusetts. She had kept her bed
for three years, and in spite of her
physician's assurances she believed her-
self hopelessly paralyzed. One night
her grandson got up a ghost to scare
her, and the old lady ran half a rnile be-
fore they could catch her.
The longer a hallucination is in
dulged the more deeply rooted. it be-
comes. In many cases it ultimately de-
velops into monomania or delusional in-
sanity. Dr. S. Weir Mitchell performs
many of his most remarkable cures of so-
called nervous diseases simply by his
wonderful success in persuading patients
that nothing ails them. Few physicians
have the ability to do this, and still
fewer have the discretion to adopt a
course of treatment adapted to the men-
tal peculiarities of each particular case.
Sometimes perstasion is necessary, but
frequently a Little tonic combined with a
good scolding produces the desired re-
sult.
" When the delusion is harmless it is
often the best plan to humor it. A rela-
tive-. of mine, who was a clergyman,
hied several years in my family. He
firiedy believed that he could not sleep
after preaching on Sunday night unless
he as under the influence of an opiate.
Timeeand again I have seen him doze off
as smindly as a tired child. after taking
a teaspoonful of sweetened water, which
I had prescribed as " morphia." With-
out this harmless little dose, however,
he would toss about restlessly for
hours.'"
•
Ostrich Farming.
The Chicago Inter -Ocean describes an
ostrich farm near Los Angeles, Cali-
fornia:
The ranch is divided -into two corrals
by a high fence, inclosing a yard of good
size. During the night all of the birds
are kept in corrals within this yard. By
day, all the young birds save the latest
chickens " are driven outside to two
corrals, where they.are first looked upon
by the visitor to the ranch. The old
birds are secluded as much as possible,
that the hatching may progress success-
fully.
The oung birds in the outside cor-
rals wilt not be vicious till they are three
years old, hence it is safe to leave a
number in a flock. The older birds
must be corraled in pairs. There are
but two exceptions. In one inclosure
are three adult birds. In another is the
very ugly bird which killed its mate.
one pen are eleven chieks, five
months old, which represent oue hatch-
ing, and no failure of the eleven eggs all
the week in the warm sand being a suc-
cess. The baby moves the world; so the
baby ostriches are of much interest.
Last spring when there were so many
ontriches to be looked after. it was
soon as ; have hid ney 'hoe." At .dhstier
his wife remonstrateivith him for *lima-
ing so loudly about ihiding his hoe. "1
am certain said .she, "the neighbors
have heard you, wad some one bas already
stolen it." Struck with the oemark, the
man retiirned to the field. and, sure
enough, the hoe was gone. On returning
to his house, and impressed with the
wisdom ,of her previous 'caution, he whis-
pered into his wife's ear, "The hoe is
stolen."
The following impromptu, though con-
sequent on afall, cannot be looked upou
ae the outcome of a deficient understand-
ing. A man stumbled. and fell. Trying
to rise, he again fell. "Hang it,' he
cried, "if I had known I was to fall
again, I would not have tried to get
The Antiquity of Man
While the great antiquity of the human
race has been established beyond a doubt,
it is impossible to assign any accurate
date to man's first appearance upon earth.
"In making soundings in the slimy soil
of the Nile valley." says Professor N.
Joly, of the Science Faculty of Toulouse,
two baked bricks were discovered, one
at a depth of twenty, the other of twenty-
four yards. If we estimate the thickness
of the annual deposit formed by the river
at eight inches a century, we must as-
sign to the first of these bricks an age of
12,000 years; and to the second that of
14,000. By means of analogous calcu-
lations, Burmeister supposes 72,000
years to have elapsed since the first ap-
pearance of man upon the soil of Egypt.
and Draper attributes to the European
man who witnessed the last glacial epoch
an antiquity of more than 250,000 years."
The Agriculturist.
One of the young men who assists in
perpetrating the Oil City Blizzard is
wrestling with his first garden this
spring, and seems to be having quite a
time.
In setting out his onious he got them
all in the ground wrong side up, and
now he reports them as acting very
queerly. He says they seem to be back-
ing out of the ground.
He came into the sanctum a day or so
ago with a troubled expression on his
face—and a hoe in his hand. He ap-
peared troubled about something, and
finally asked the editor, who is an old
farmer:
"What kind of seeds do you plant to
raise peas ?"
We told him we usually planted peas.
"What !" said he, "these regular,
hard, dried-up peas you see in the
stores ?"
We assured him that im always used
them for seed, whereupon he expressed
surprise, saying:
Well, that beats me. I supposed
the seed came in a little package, like
lettuce. I had no idea that you just
planted the old peas."
Celestial Humor.
The "China Review" publishes a col-
lection of Chinese humorous anecdotes,
selected from the " Hsiao Lin Kuang,"
or "Book of laughter," some of which are
interesting, because they are identical
with stories familiar to Western civili-
zation, while others have a peculiarly
Celestial accent: Two persons standing
over a hot stove on a cold day, warming
themselves, were overheard indulging in
the following dialogue: No. 1, apathetic,
and given to verbiage, addressed No. 2,
reputedly hot-tempered and decisive,
whose clothes he noticed smoldering,
as follows: "My dear_ friend, there is
somethinet'I would like to speak to you
about; lhave seen it for some time, and
all along have wanted to tell you, but as
people say your temper is fiery, I hesi-
tated; on the other hand, if I do not
speak, you may. be a loser, so I have
come to the conclusiou to ask your
permission to do so." "Out with it,"
said the other. " Well, your clothes are
burning," mildly continued No. 1. "Why
the deuce," cried No. 2 in a. passion, as
he observed considerable damage already
dono, could you not speak at once?"
"It is true, then, what people say—what
a temper he has got !" muttered No. 1,
as he lazily moved off.
"Come home to dinner,' cried a good
housewife to her husband at- work in a
field. "All right," he shouted, "as
Character in Hands.
Our oriental friends, who are of a More
slow and dignified character, disapprove
of the western custom of taking hold Of
the precious person of an acquaintance
and shaking him for welcome. It may
be more dignified to bow, but if frank-
ness and activity be our characteristics,
we like the trustful mystery of a hand-
clasp. It is an index in itself. The
formal and cold oharacter offers straight
fingers for an instant; the dull and
apathetic let us take hold of a hand like
a dead fish; the energetic business man
meets an old friend with a grip that
brings the water into his eyes; the
warm-hearted takes our hand and holds
it. The nervous hand, with an affec-
tionate swiftness, comes out most
readily and longingly. And. is there
anything more natural to a reverent love
than the kissing of the hand that has
been bountiful in love to us? See how
far we have gone among mysteries...
Character, habits and age are the
three things that are told by the hands.
When we draw the character of Heep,
the hypocrite—and, as shool-boys would
say, the "sneak "—Dickens did not ne-
glect this tell-tale : "0 What a clam-
my hand his was ! as ghastly to the
touch as to the sight ; I rubbed mine
afterward to warm it, and to rub his off.
It was such an uncomfortable hand that
when I went to my, room it was still.
cold and wet upon my memory." Even
if it be not that of Hee, the hypocriti-
cally humble hand is apt to writhe and
squeeze its bending fingers together.
The hand that little Jack Horner
made sticky with his own pie in his own
corner undoubtedlY became with big
Jack Horner a thick -fingered, puffy,
index of his partiality for pies and
plums.
Little does the swaggerer who chinks
his small change and cocks his thumbs
out of his pockets imagine that his
thumbs and hands are as much his con-
demnation as the bragging seals arid the
chain that would anchor a ship.
The stingy man has a tight hand; his
fingers keep fast hold of a sixpence, and
his palm makes a careful hollow Out of
which it cannot roll, until he is quite
sure heis obliged to part with it.
The rough, and the refined hand are
different with a difference like that of
education in the man. 'The lowest ex-
tremity of roughness is the hand of
brute violence—a colossal paw, of iron
strength, huge with muscle, vein and
sinew; but lacking all sensitiveness and
flexibility—defiant in its attitudes—a
human tool that has been turned into a
weapon.
There are refined hands that are crim-
inal also, but their character is the more
hateful because no trace is made upon
perfection and their beauty is a lie. One
reads in the well -cared for, or, as we
might say, the educated handenot only
of its own refinement, but that of other
generations—the ancestors who lived at
leisure from bodily toil, whose muscles
were not stretched by labor, whose
fingers, little used, went slender to the
tips, whose • very finger -nails revealed
easy times, by their oval shape, not
pressed and worn into hard -worked
diminutive half -circles.
Yet one likes the strong hand --moral-
ly strong even if it has never been taxed
with physical labor; the man's hand
that is not effeminate, the girl's hand
that is not a Pretty wax -work, but a
part of a helpful someone, who would be
sweetly willing to do something for
somebody else. Unless it be the weak
hand of sickness, wiiich is a most piteous
sight, the hand of the weak character is
not what anyone cares to clasp. More
and more in this world we want the
hands that can do something. As Car-
lyle says, the first doing Would be for
many a revelation.
Holloway's Pills
The Great Need.—The blood is the life, and on
its purity our healthas . well as our existence
depends. These Pills thoroughly cleanse the
vital fluid from all contaminations, and by -that
means 1 strengthen and invigorate the whole
system, healthily stimulate sluggish organs,
repress over -excited aftion, and establish
order of circulation and secretion through-
out overy part of the body. The bal-
samic nature of Holloway's Pills exercises
marvellous power in giving tone to debilitated
and nervous constitutions: These Pills dislodge
all obstructions, both in the bowels and else-
where, and are, on that ;account, much sought
after for promoting regularity of action in young
females and delicate peilsons who are naturally
weak, or have from some cause become so.

AS CONSCIENTIOUS
DRUGGISTS,
—WE WOULD—
recommend for DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION and
kindred diseases, the use of-MALTOPEPSYN.
For.Consumption and all wasting diseases, the
use of MORSE'S CARBOLATED NORWEGIAN
COD-LIVER OIL. For teething infants and
nervous troubles, the us.° of GLYCEROLE OF
CELERY COMPOUND (containing no opium.)
You probably ask why we recommend these
remedies!
It is because we know them to be reliable
remedies, endorsed by • leading physicians
throug,hont the Dominion, for the cure of specifie
diseases, and not claiming- to cure everything.
Also becausathey have the exact formula printed
on eech bottle jabel,thereby enabling the pur-
chaser to knowjustwhat he is taking.
The time 18 rapidly approaching when intelli-
gent people will refuse to take quack cure-alls,
the ingredients of which are kept senret, but will
insist upon knowing just what they are taking.
We would also informany who may not yet be
aware by actual 'trial of the superiority of our
." ROYAL GLYCERATED BALSAM OF FIR,"
in -curing Coughs,Colds, Bronchitis, Sore Throat'
Incipient Consumption, &c. &c., that this reli-
able remedy can now be procured from every

owing to its own merits, we have already receiv-
ed orders from the most distant, parts of the Do-
