He gets tickled, ;snickers, enjoys pro- digiously the droll, the witty, and the ludicrous of life's oheap penorama, but is ebsolutely unable tn emit that cackliug, gurgling, wave like eound known as laughter. Ile's a good grinner, tells a tuuny story capitally, excepting in that part of the coloring where the facial representation of laughter is demanded and then he looks as rueful and sad as if he were unreeling a funeral sermon at thegrave of a deed friend, who had be- queathed him a fortune. He is a plunger at the races and ia lucky. When he wins heavily only a igrin attests his joy. He is a theatre goerbut at thetracking there of the newest, most whisherless jokea he merely smiles. He is a practical joker, and when agood joke matures and all otlaer bystan ere are holding their ribs nnd tertqag th air with laughter be opens his mouth a if to laugh, but the laugh seems frozen in transitu,a case of arrested divelopinent, and he lets the flaps of his mouth slowly fall back into position, and that timid, shanie-faced grin creeps slowly over his features,then dies away in his eyes and face. He talks pleasantly over his inability to laugh, and says he enjoys fun as well as any- ene, but he can't get his mouth, lunge, th roat and face organized into a laugh. He has had several narrow escapes from laughing,but thus far; has never laughed. Ile is the veritable reverse of Victor Hugo's hero, "Tho Man Who Laughs," After reading that iwonderful work he drawled: " Well, I'd sooner not be able to laugh than to have my mouth eplit my entire face, like that man, and go cantering through the world cackling at everything I saw and heard." John C. Ferguson. The announcement in the evening papers of Thursday,August 20th, that J. C. Ferguson, Chief Engineer of the Toronto Waterworks, was dead, carne to his large circle of mechanical friends with all the soreness of a personal be- reavement, ,It was known to some of them that he had been unwell -to a few that he was very ill -but to the great majority who had heard nothing of his indispo- sition (and who knew of his anxiety to have everything right, and his close at- tention to his duties, and were there- fore not surprised at not seeing him on the streets ocoasioually), it was quite an :Unexpected paragraph. 1 have known him both as a mechanic a student, end Christian gentleman for 4111Yarcig of twelve years past, and I deem it due to your readers -and espec- ially the younger men with aspirations_ Viet. 1a1011id give a few " points " out of his life history. I write utder my old nom de plume because it brings back to me pleasant recollections of the times when he used to criticize my "Proctor's Points " and take great delight in pleasantly disput- iug my theories. To mechanics who were not personally acquainted with him, it was a matter of some surprise that he came out at "the hcad" in the crucial examination through which the applicants for the position of waterworks engineer had to pass in 1887, but to some of us who knew him as a careful, critical student in mechanical matters, as an engineer who accepted no theory or method unless 3 1 • 1 l• • • • .1631, were nor, expanse or doing much more than half duty. Just at this time, too, with all this 'aurelen and anxiety upon him, some " Daniel come to judgment," seeking for a kind of fishwife notoriety by fault finding, in the preas and at the council board, said a number of things that seemed to reflect on his department, every word of which, though entirely undeserved, hurt him like the sting of a Russian knout, and be simply broke down under the combined pressure. It was hoped that a few months' rest would restore him to his usual vigor,but he came home two months ago after a two months' absence only to find himself unable to give any further attention to his duties-, and went to his quiet home to die, as be had lived, a true man. I remember the first time I saw him. In the winter of '78, I think,. passing through one of our city machine shops in a liesurely way, looking at the men at work, I noticed a tall, well built, athletio workman,chipping on ft machine casting. The man himself attracted me at first -he was working as if he meant to get his job dome in time. But the swing of that hammer? I never saw but one other man who could swing a chipping hammer with John Ferguson. On the occasion referred to I remarked to the owner of the shop that he had one firat class hand up stairs. " Oh, yes," he said, "butpay hien good wages." "How much ?" "3.6O per day ; but," he added, "he's worth it." Ordinary vise hands were worth $1.7 to $2.00 a day, in those days he engineered on a lake steamer in the summer and wrought as a journeyman machinist in the win- ter. Every spare moment was spent in f.tu-ly. Line after line was taken np and gone into as thoroughly as if it were an absolute 'necessity that he should master both elementary princi- ple,' and mechanical construction - hydraulics, steam engineering, bridge work, a:wahine building, marine work, etc., etc. It became fully known, early in the eighties," that anything he did was done well, and he always had a choice of situations. The only reasen why he did not attain to special prominence was simply the lack of any important mech- anical eniFeCpriees ia Canada. His re- modelling of the large pumphig plant, And the eereplete efficiency obtained, neemme justified the confidence of his friends in his mechanical 'He was always gentle, quiet and re- servecilin his intercourse with others ; and whether as journeyman or master mechanic, kind, considerate and helpful to all around him. In his personal and private life he wae ever -since I have known him --a consistent, earnest Christian. Reticent almost to a fault sometimes, it is yet true that he spoke very freely to those who came in heart' touch with him', ofTeligious matters. No man could buy or sell him. He lived above the petty ambition of private gain out of public relationships. I well remember the indignant scorn which flaehed in his face as he told me of some fellow who -not knowing him -offered to pay him a commissien on all the goods he sold to the city, if he would recommend the good's. I interrupted him in his narration by interjecting the question : "What did you tell him, John ?'"` Tell him," said he, straight- ening up, "1 fired him out of the office !" Just passing out of his manhood's prime, sooner than some of us, he has entered that other and higher realm where force bath origin, where law is eternal,and life and being butthe pulsing of the Infinite. , i Not the dying but the ° with its trusting, -- With its motives, broadand ample, and its purpose strong and deep- Measuree up the worth, of being.

FACTS For Seaforth people who are not parti- oularly anxious to have to call in an undertaker TO THINK ABOUT. I have been a great sufferer .from a female weakness along standing, and have been t eat - ed by several physicians, and have also been un- der treatment in the Toronto Hospital,. and all failed to cure me. I saw a medical book ex lain- ing the Histogenetle System, and resolve1 to give it a trial. I consulted Dr. Rear, who pre- scribed these remedies, and assured me they would cure me. I had my doubts, but wais ae- termined to try once more: 1 took treatn,ent two weeks and am utterly astonished at the results. I am nearly well, and no language can describe how thankful I am that my life is spar- ed. This testimony is voluntary, and .I' give- it hoping that hundreds of my sex may try -the medicines and receive the seine marvellous good that I have. They are good to take, and, unlike any medicine I ever took before, leave ne bad effects MRS. J. FAWCETT, 102 John Street, Tor nto. June 5th, 1890. I was attacked with congestion of the liver and inflammation of the kidney); attended with excruciating pains in my side and ack. Could not lie en either side -could sea oely breathe. The slightest movement caused gon- izieg pain. Nothing gave ma relief. I seri for Dr. Rear, knowing he had cured my daught r of a dangerous illness with Histogenetic Med eine after she had been given up by four skilful phy- sicians. In one week my pain was gone and liver and kidneys acting as well as ever. The cure is complete. It acts the most like ma ic of any medicine I ever took. I sincerely hope that the suffering ladiis of Toronto and else ere may try the superior merits of these pure and tasteless medicines. My object in - giving this testimony is purely through sympathy for the sick and dying. MRS. McCULLOUGH, 60i Adelaide St.', east, Tor nto.
