oust the Dots
In onr hist Competition, In which we had a
circle containing 545 dots, we had, answers rang-
ing from 300 to 2,000,000. On the whole, however,
our customers counted better than we expected.
At the close of the competition the winners were
notifiedof their success, and the presents awarded
jest as we advertised. As a proof of this and 28
an evidence that we have kept perfect faith svith
- ourpatrons, we will send a complete list of vvinners
(eeenpting those objecting to publicity) to any
address on receipt of a S cent stamp to pay postage.
We do this instead of publishing them on account
of the list being so very large. In our present
competition we present the above star and ask our
customers to count the dots as they did with those
in the circle. With it we make this offer :—

answer we will give each an elegant GOLD

of the three correct answere, who are equally far

sending in the last three correct answers will
each be given watches: exactly similar to the other
six. THIS MAKES NISE GOLD wAT-

Here is a eimple appliance that has been

Perhaps no class in Europe is more fer-
tile in invention and shifts than the beg-
gars, who are organized and as a rule un.
scrupulous. A woman, impersonating a loyal
daughter, feeds a so-called blind man on the
street for hours from a plate of broth which
she holds under his chin. Another
wraps a ragged blanket around. his friend
and, seated on the pavement, holds him af-
fectionately in his lap. A hag attracts sym-
pathy to a small boy by pretending to beat
him unmercifully. Like hotel servants
they have learned the trick of changing
places so that there is a fresh appeal always
before one. But equal to these in native
ingenuity are the cabmen of Europe who
are thrown in contact with the travelling
and cultivated publicand, constantly tempt-
ed with chances of gain, come to have their
wits sharpened and their consciences hard-
ened. One orthese land pirates of Florence,
when admonished by a female member of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals to cease beating his staggering
horse, replied, "Signora, this horse is not
baptized."
If I ask a cabman to drive me for an hour
he is sure to find au excuse to take me be-
yond the walls where the traffic is ten cen-
times higher per hour; or he will wind in
bystreets, stop to show me places of purely
imaginary interest, or get himself blocked

CLEANING — AND — DYING
The Use and Value of Dry Peat as an Ab-
sorbent for Liquid Manure.
The absorbent character of peat and al-
lied materials has already been mentioned.
:It is owing to this 'quality that they are of
special value in the stable, the cow -house
, and the pig -pen; and indeed, wherever
there may be liquid manure to absorb.
When sprinkled in such places, not only do
they prevent bad smelLs, but they also pre-
serve for future crops much plant food that
would otherwise go to waste. Much &Ttl-
monia escapes into the atmosphere in stables
where absorbents are not used. Should
there not be a very good system in cow -
houses and pig -pens for conducting the
liquid portion of the manure to tanks, a.loaa
of fertilizing elements will be sure to ensue
through soakage, unless some material is
scattered that will take it up and retain
it. For this purpose, the use of dry
peat and much can be with confidence
advised. In this connection, it must not be
forgotten that while the plant food in
manure is thus rendered permanent by such
treatment, the fertilizing ingredients of the
absorbent are at the same time made more
valuable for immediate use.
When manure is made through the win-
ter under cover and the cattle are fed loose
under the barn or in a covered shed adjoin-
ing, dry peat as a litter and absorbent is
specially to be recommended. Tho 'con-
stant tramping of the cattle ensures the in-
timate mixing of the peat and manure.
When this afterwards is drawn out and fer-
mented on the heap, an excellent fertilizer
results.—Frank T. Shutt, Chief Chemist

WINDLASS TO HOLD ON A LOAD.
working a bar in alternating holes in the
roller or windlass. Such an arrangement
must have originated from the vast number
of casks to be hauled, which are given to
falling off a. slanting vehicle unless se-
cured.
On these carts, as well ason the carriages,
one sees the quaint screw brake. It is
rather ingenious in that, on carriages, two
straight rods are arranged to work around
half a circle ; but it is a poor contrivance,
in that it is too slow in operation, a sudden .
halt being next to impoesible without the
assistance of the horse. But I saw a
simpler soheme than this recently, when a
porter going down a long hill in a run with
a loaded handcart ran one wheel along
against the curb, making enough friction to

break the momentum of his lowl. The
peasant teamster of the Roman Campagna
has an eye to personal comfort, and on the
poorest cart constructs a rude buggy top
by sticking a scrub tree in the standard
hole en the left side, in front. The branches
are then trimmed and bent to the required
shape, and covered with sheepskins, and
often fantastically trimmed. Situated as
it is, this top does not interfere with the
load, and revolves to a side or front posi-
tion, to suit the whim or necessity of the
driver.
In the matter of transportation the Euro-
pean peasant ie disposed to utilize all avail-
able force. A pedlar had a yellow dog
hitched under his push cart, helping indus-
triously to.pull the load up a hill. An or-
gan grinder was aseistedin transporting his
heavy,intrument from street to street by a
six-year-old daughter, who. also collected
the money given while he played. On
other occasions I have seen, in addition to
the horse in the shafts, a -man and a don-
key, or a woman, donkey and dog, or a
oow, woman and man, helping to pull the
load.
One of the beat things I have seen recent-
ly is the ventilated umbrellas for carriages.
This is a -large umbrella with forty-two to
forty-five ribs carried in a tall socket on the
left of the driver and having an opening in
the top from eighteen to twenty-six inches
wide, which is covered by a flap that laps
well over the umbrella and is fastened at
intervals by buttons or rubber straps. Ths

into which no sound or ray of light could
penetrate.
She soon forgot the tso words she had
learned, and uttered only inar tieu ts
sounds. AS she bad never eXperi• cis ed
pleasure, she did not know how to iauge ;
but she exhibited terrible freaks of pasta.
and terror, and hatse Ole presence ot b .1
living things.
In the meantime she had learned two
Bios ; one to put her fingers into her
mouth when she was hungry, and the other
to erose her arms over her breast when she
was thirsty. The only thing that deeply in-
terested her was wiping her mother's dishes,
and tide she did, the mother says, " until
they crtaked."
At six years, when most children are
happy and gay, she was blind,speeohlese and
sleet, knowing nothing, hearing nothing,
caring for nothing, groping in blackness and
silence, and consumed by passionate fits of
anoimaseldtaeymaper.
newspaper brought to the house
some account of Helen Keller and her eue-
cessful education. After a little corres-
pondence Willie Elizabeth—for that was
her name—was taken to a kindergarten for
the blind in the East.
When she first arrived she kicked and bit
and savagely pushed any one who came
near her. Her dull eyes were expressionless.
Her face wore a look of despair. Her
mother stayed with her for a week, and
then left her with the lady who was to be
her teacher. The child had to be tamed as
one tames a wild creature.
At last the day came for the first lemon,
She was playing with a shallow basket,
which she put upon her head. This gave
her teacher the idea of selecting the word
hat to convey to the mind of the child the
first glimmer of thought. After many at-
tempts to use the language of the fingers
upon the palm of the hand, the teacher suc-
ceeded in making the unfortunate girl un-
derstand that she was signalling the name
of the object that she held in her band.
Thie was the first ray of light that penetrat-
ed the darkness in which the child had
lived.
To-
Ty
she has learned the names and
comprehend.dathe shapes of four hundred ob-
jects. More than this, she understands the
meaning of about a hundred verbs. In all
she commands a vocabulary of about six
hundred words. She has become alert,
sweet -tempered and affectionate. Her great-
est delight is to take a book of raised letters
to bed with her to read, where, of course,
she oan read as well as in daylight.
What a struggle for an education is this I
It is difficult fully to comprehend it. We
take eyesight as a matter of course, We
hear the sound of the winds, the ringing of
bells and laughter, the ripple of dear voices
—and who stops to thank God for it ? What
we have hem taught at home or at school
has been given under the pleasantest and
most favorable conditions. What if we had
to get our diploma by the tap of a finger on
the palm of the hand ?—From The Youth's

British Markets for Our Food Produets.
The English market is accessible. I
shipped fresh made creamery butter from
Woodstock, Ont.,last week to Liverpool,
for 55 cents per 10 pounds. It will have
cold transit all the way, with no deprecia-
tion in quality. Can you send butter from
your own place, twenty miles back from tho
city, to the market for leas than half a cent
per pound? From Woodstock to Livert
it costs me 55 cents per 100 pounde.
market is permanent. There is an adequate
demand. England is the largest importer
of fruit products in the world. Then there
is a fair chance in competition in the
English market, and then there are not any
tolls. John Brown lives in Oxford county.
They have tolls in Oxford county. Another
man, Tom Black, lives in Middlesex county,
where there are no tolls. John Brown takes
to market a ten pound basket of butter, and
it costs him on the road two cents a pound
for tolls. If the butter sells no dearer in
Woodstock than in London the Middlesex
butter -maker would have the better chance
to Make marketing butter pay—by at least
the two cents per pound of toll money.

excellent or poor. The treatment tends to
discourage the efforts of the people toward
improvement in quality, which alone Ina
give permanent success. Then there is the
oompetition between buyers of the keenest
kind. Napoleon a good while ago said!.
England was, "a nation of shop -keepers."
If you have a nation of shop -keepers, they,
for the sake of profit, will compete,and that
oompetition will always push things to the
eery verge of maximum price. England has

Thought He Had the D. T.
Only a few persons were standing at the
bar of the Great Northern hotel yesterday
when L. B. Dyke, of Colorado, a wealthy
mine owner, on his way home from St. Aug-
ustine, Florida, dropped in with a party of
friends to take some liquid refreshmentn.
Among those who were in the refectory
when the party came in was a well-known
traveling man who had evidently been there
some time,
and had lost no opportunity of
satisfying his cravings for the contents of
sundry enticing bottles behind the bar. As
a result he was the worse for wear. He
had arrived at the loquacious stage of in-
ebriation and was entertaining his friends
with a dissertation on how it was perfectly
possible to imbibe vast amounts of a certain
mixed drink, which he described in deteil,
and still remain perfectly sober.
When Mr. Dyke and his party entered,
the traveling man turned his head and
glanced at the newcomers. With the nat-
ural instinct of a traveling man he began to
size up the dress of the strangers. When
hie eye had arrived at Mr. Dyke's scarf he
stopped as a. man who sees something unex-
pectedly. Then hie pupils dilated and he
did not seem to be able to remove his eyes
from the object. No bird charmed by a
reptile could have been more fascinated -
than he appeared to be. He continued to
gaze, while Mr, Dyke, ignorant of the ex-
traordinary proceeding, chatted along with
his friends.
The time arrived when the commercial
solicitor could stand it no longer. Leaving
untouched the glees of liquor in front of
him, he walked over to Mr. Dyke, tapped
him hesitatingly ora tbe shoulder,and said in
a husky voice:
"Pardon me, but that's a queer scarf pin
you wear."
"Pardon me," said the Colorado man, po-
litely but firmy, "I wear no scarf pin at
all,' As if in emphasis of his atatement,he
passed his hand over his scarf.
" My God 1" said the travelling man,
" there it goes now. It's running down on
your cost collar. Brash it off, quick 1"
"Brush what off? Ain't you a little
wrong somewhere? There's nothing on my
cellar. See 1" And Mr. Dyke once more
ran his hand over the place where the
thing was supposed to be.
" You're right," said the man of good.,
sadly, "Excuse me, mister—I could have
sworn I SAW something run down from your
scarf -pin and on to your coat. I swear Pll
never touch another drop of liquor as long
as I live. I never thought I'd nee them.
Next thing I suppose I'll be seeing blue ele-
phants and pink snakes with green talk I'm
going to quit." He hired a bell boy to
take him to his room and put him to bed,
When he had gone a small chameleon
tied to a tiny gold chair. ran from between
Mr. Dyke's vest and shirt front and settled
fearlessly on his scarf. "All the people in
Florida wear 'eat." he explained. "They
are perfectly harmless and their ever
changing and beautifully delicate hues
make them extremely ornamental. But no
Florida man thinks he has delirium tremens
if he sees one on a man's coat or a woman's
dress. Guess ni get a consignment of
them for campaign purposes for the W. C.
T. U. and temperance leagues."—Chicago

Re MERCER, the Live Jeweller,

A Hard Life.
Years ago Laura Bridgman astonished the
world. That a person deaf and blind, and
consequently dumb from infancy, could be
taught to live a life of understanding, ac-
tion and aspiration seemed but little short of
a miracle.
Helen Keller, of whom most of our read-
ers have heard, is more of a marvel. With-
out the power to see, or hear, or speak, she
has been taught to hold conversations, to
write composition and letters, to embroider,
play the piano and to comprehend abstract
thought. Her education seems almost the
high-water mark of Christian civilization.
And now a pitiful yet inspiring story of
another Unfortunate ehild comes to us. She
was born in Texas, and when fifteen months
old had learned only two words—rnamme
and papa. Then she had a serious illness,
by which she lost eyesight and hearing, and
