KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement anii tends to personal enjoyment when rightly use& Tho many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy lifo more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products, to the needs of physical being, will attest -the -value to health of the puro liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is duo to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, therefreshing and truly Iteneficiel properties of a perfect lax- -stive ; effectually cleansing the system, -dispelling colds, headaches and fellers :and permanently curing coustipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- -ening them and it is perfectly free from -every objectionable substance. Symitp of Figs is for sale by all drug. gists in 75c. bottles, but it is manu- factured by the California Fig Syrup -Co. only, whose mune is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs. and being well informed, you will nd accept any substitute if offered. Life in the Lumber Camps. And a busy, misty life it is, with the ring- ing of axes, the whir of the saws, the cresh .of the falling trees, and the orders and talk in English, French and Norwegian. - Lumberine in the pine woods is a different thing now ''from what it was years ago. Even the locality has changed; for then emly- the pine growing near the rivers was of x aloe; for the expense of getting the logs to the streams, and thence to market, was too great if it was several miles away. Now, any pine woods is Available, and valu- able; for the logging,eallroads are rapidly put down and steam takes the long trains of logs whithersoever the owners will. Then lumbering could only be done in the winter, because of the aid of the snow. Now the large lumbering firms run all summer too, always with the railroads. . It sinews the perfection to which lumber- ing has been brought to see one week the unbroken primeval forest, the nexthe roads are being prepared through i, the track laid to it, and the camp houses eing built. In a space of time shorter than you mould have thought possible, the forest is :gone, only the worthless tops of trees lying un the ground. In the old days of lumbering one could edways tell afterwards how deep the snow was the winter the trees were cut by the height of the stump. Now there are ap- parently no stumps left. The men must eut the trees as close to the ground as the axe nd saw oan work. Every stick that atePossi- bly be used is taken. It even pays now to lumber over again the tracts of which only the best was taken in the early days. The camp buildings are large, low," re- pulsive looking structures, with no thought in their building but the needs of shelter and warmth ; but the camp man himself is a picturesque object. He is dressed for work and cold weather in bright colored, heavy _Mackinaw clothing. Never a coat does he wear, and apparently no suspenders. Many are Americans, more Norwegians and tiwedes. I never saw a negro in the camps, and the Irish always stick to the railroad, the Germans to the farms. Their life, though full of hard work, is full of cheer too ; they seem to enjoy work- ine in a croved. Then their meals are plen- tifPul kid good; vegetables, fresh beef and et pork, 'dried fruit, - rice, oatmeal, tea and coffee, and anything in the way of dessert the cook chooses to make. The worst part -of their Iife is the plaice they sleep in. A large log, building with stove in the middle and tiers of bunks all around. Straw is thrown in the bunks, blankets tom and that is all there is of the sleeping arrange- ments. Sometimes the wife of the foreman scaler, or blacksmith, chooses to live where her husband must work, and a log shanty is -ereeted for her. I have been in some where the rude exterior was a decided f..ontrast to the pleasant and even elegant interior. The men have no expense for board, and .as they have no stores for many miles, they cannot spend their wages. But when the :jots for which they were hired is Over, they take their money- and go to the nearest town and "blow it in," as they phrase it, in drinking, gambling and worse. Then they .go, penniless, back to camp life again. But all the busy life of the camps will soon be over. The poor land robbed of its only- wealth is left desolate, and desolate it may be forever, for it is not worth farm- -me, and the pine does not grow again. -If *th7ere is any growth besides ferns and hucle- berries it is poplar, oak and soft maple. These may, in the course of many years, fit the land again for human use.-Himeen I 'ERKINS, in Mic:higan Farmer. - • School Reports.

Her Lovely Pink Silk Dress. A few weeks ago a ball was given in a ourishing Ontario. town. Youth and eauty were fully represented, and many of he ladies wore charming -costumes. The ell h of the evening as a. - young lady of wenty years; she was the personification fgrace and beauty, and 'won the a.dmira- iOn of all whowerepresent. Her brother, an intimate friend of the -riter, told the following secret : 4 My sis- er looked charmingly hea,utiful at Mrs. r --hi ball last evening. From what I ad heard about her ball dress at home, I illy expected chagrin and disappointment s far as I was concerned, because I under- tood she was to Wear a dress that had been yed with Diamond Dyes. "For some time she had worn a cream lk, hut it had become sornewhat soiled, so other and sister determined to dye it a ght shade of Pink, and I fully expected a Haire. "Before going to the hall I was called to e my sister in her new dress, and I could ardly believe it was the old dress re -died. he lovely light pink was a marvellously ch shade, and the whole costume so be - ming that I was fairly delighted. Young a old at the ball were charmed with sis• r's good taste, but of course they had no ea that Diamond Dyes played so impor- nt a part in the success of the costume." MORAL. -When you re -dye any valuable aterial, always use the Diamond Dyes if u wish success; they never fail - to give od results. • "If I Were a Girl Again!" When Margaret went up to bed she stood • a moment self-absorbed in the middle of e room, then she exclaimed aloud, 'Oh! I sh all the girls could have heard it!' en, as the suggestion flashed over her, e cried joyfully : '1 know what I'll 1. I'll write it down just as they said The next moment, with her pad in he lap, she was sitting under the gas, and with her sharp pencil began to scribble: This afternoon the Sewing Circle met here, and when I came in after school I peeped in the front parlor door, and the ladies were such a busy, pretty sight that I stood to look; and then one of them, a dear, beautiful old lady, said something I liked, and I stopped to listen. "She said, '11 I were a girl again I would be more thoughtful of my mother. Not until I had girls of my own to love and work for, did I begin to realize what my mother had done for me.' "Then another lacly,eniddle-aged, with a sharp, worried face, spoke quickly : If I were a girl again I would learn to do some- thing to support myself. Here I am, 42, as you all know, and I can earn my break- fast unless I go out and do house- work. Nobody cares for an unskilled work-womanencl that's whateT am. It's a blessing to me that I don't have to earh my breakfast.' " If I could be a girl again,' said a lady with a sweet voice, '1 would never leave Sunday school. You ,can't think how I envy the girls who have 'grown up in a Sun- day school as if it were a home. And they are as much at home as .1 am among my children. I've been - out of Sunday school 30 years, and it is a loss that, can never. be - made up to me.' (I have been out of Sunday school a year. I left because I didn't like my teacher. I am going back next Sunday.) If I could be a girl 'again,' a placid- , 4 looking lady said, ' I, would never give up studying; I would never allow myself to lose the habit, of learning things. Why, it is even hard for me now to learn a long Bible verse; I must choose a short one, or humiliatingly write it on a slip of paper to look at at the last minute.' "'And if I were a girl again,' spoke up a lady with a quick tongue, '1 would never let myself speak of anybody's faults -no, not anybody's. You can't think how you get to see faults, if you let your • mind run on them.' "Then a lady in the corner spoke sadly: 'If I could be• girl againdd begin by not being ashamed to be a Christian. I would take a stand, and stand. You who never failed cannot think how it helps to hare people know what to expect of you. By shilly-shally work you don't know what to expect of yourself.'

Moody to take a seat in his carriage for a drive around Northfield, and in the course of the conversation he sai : ' Whet a pity, „Mr. Angell-, that I could not have had, as you did, a college educe- tio ." Our reply was : "If you had received a colloge education tihe chances are you would neverhave had a tanth part of the influence youl now have. You would -have gotten your head full of long dictionary words of Greek and Latin derivation, and talked to your audience in a language which nine - tenths of them_ could not understand." . Thie incident is brought. to mind by a prayer and sermon in a country church we have just listened to., In theayer the clergyman asked the `e Lord to en ble us to de our duties not in a perfuncto manner. In the srmon he spoke of ethics and economicsgeneyelopa,edic man, speculative orthodoxy, f sychology, isosceles triangle, unifying force from the great Universal Self, elaborate scheme of social organization, Antinous and Apollo, couplex realism, socio- logical expansion, and the old skeleton of a defunct philosophy, etc., etc. -all of which, while doubtless intelligent to the Lord, was an unknown language to nine -tenths of the congregation. We contrasted it with the plain talk of Christ and the Apostles---" Christ and Him Crucified," "Our Father who art - in Heaven "-and we wondered what headway Governor Robinson would have made in the Lizzie Borden murder trial if he had talked to that jury as this educated clergyman talked to his no more intelligent congre- gation. We do not presume to tell clergymeu how to preach the gospel, but as our paper goes to every clergyman in the State we think there can be no harm in telling them how this matter strikes us. -GEORGE T.

Theo -Nem March 4 -The number of sudden deaths due to heart disease is appalling. The medical profession is devoting more attention to the heart and its ailments at the present time than ever before, and many , physicians are making a specialty of diseases of this Organ. A Toronto doctor, who devotes much attention to this branch of his practice said to your reporter to -day "I have yet to learn of a single case where heart disease caused death, in which a poSt, mortem examination did not show the existence of Bright's disease, diabetes, or some other kidney disease." Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure all disease of the kidneys and thus ward of the danger of heart diseases. A Five Cow Dairy. What little 1 know about dairying is this; I know that, to Make it a success, two must not run in "opposition" too much, in caring for milk and butter. I like to care for the cows, and my wife has charge of the milk and -butter. We keep about five good cows and milk them mostly in winter. I always see that they have enough to eat and drink, and do not confine thern to one kind of feed. I feedhay and roots,with four or five quarts of corn meal and bran, (about equal quan- tites) for each one, at night. Inthe morning I feed corn stalks, and the same amount, of meal, but no roots. Stalks are also fed at noon. I let them out, eviery day to drink. The stable is kept warm and clean. On pleasant days the cows are out nearly all day, but in stormy, bad weather, I keep them in the stable. I have no dog to get the cows into the stable, and need none. 1 open the doors, and each one comes in and takes her place. I should wish to shoot any dog found chasing my cows. Too many cows' udders have been. spoiled by being chased by dogs, when their udders were full. We use a style of creamery having deep cans, and we know, for a certainty, that ice is the best thing for raising the cream; for the sooner the milk is chilled the better the results. We let stand about twenty-four hours. The cream is soured and churned when it is just right and not when conven- ient. We use a barrel churn. Churping tem- perature of from 60 to 63 degrees. When the butter isin granular form, we draw . the buttermilk off, and rinse in cold water, twice, adding a little salt, to the first water. We salt in the churn, then take the butter out and let it stand a while. Then we either work in rolls or pack be crocks. We have no trouble in selling all the bntter we can make, at a good price. The churning is done by the one who has the most time. The money goes where it is most needed, for we, (wife and I) are equal partners in •everything. J. H. C. la Mich- igan Farmer. A Mean Trick. Patrick was one of those witty sons of the Celtic isle whose amusing sayings had entertained many transatlantic travellere. One day, when the steamer was about leaving port, Patrick received the order to heel in a long cable that dragged as- tern. - Patrick ran to the task cheerfully enough and hauled away contentedly, but the excessive length of the cable taxed his patience. "I wonder what's become of the end of this ould cable, anyhow?" And finally, Pitcher's Castoria. grewing more impatient he growled "Faith it's no use ha ling away at the uv a cable.

They had lived near each other the Old Country, crossed the Atlantic the same tirne, settled near each other, h always been close friends, and on Thursd their united funeral service was held in t same church. -Many old Woodstock College students will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. S. L. Nott, who was for a time principal of the Ladies' Department of that institution. Mrs. Nott was a woman of culture and ability, and an earnest and devoted Chris- tiah. She died in Brooklyn, New York, where she had been residing for some years past, an esteemed member of the Emanuel Baptist church. - -The farm of Mr. Ezra Schantz was sold by auction in Haysville, on Tuesday of last week, and was knocked down to Mr. Smith, who resides near Badenofor the sum of $5,500. A few years ago Mr. Schantz bought this farm from the late Christopher Foster, for $7,000, and since then hank a brick house on the farm. -The other day, at Mount Bridget, as Walter Arnold was cleaning a revolver, he placed a cartridge in one of the chambers. He commenced snapping the trigger. A little child of Mrs. Meacock (his sister), who was playing, happened to run in front just as the loaded chamber discharged the deadly missile. The bullet entered the for0ead just above the eye, -passed through the brain, and came out at the back of the bead. The brains oozed out of each hole. Strange to say, the child is still living, and seems bright, and the docter says it may be possible for it to live. -The special issue of the Montreal Her- ald of Saturday, February I6th, consisting of 24 pages, was termed the Commercial Travellers' Edition, and a most creditable piece of work it was. On four of the pages were half tone portraits of some scores of the "Mercuries of Commerce," their past presidents and the interior of their rooms in the Board of Trade building. Among the reading matter was to be found a sketch of the rise and growth of the Dominion Com- mercial Travellers' Association, founded in 1875, and brief biographies of the past presi- dents, from Andrew Robertson, the first, to David Watson, the latest. -Mr. James Lamont, once of Glasgow' Scotland, died a few days ago in Montreal, lamented by many friends who knew him when he was clerk in D. & J.

He made a great many friends when he came to Montreal over 30 years ago, and he.is credited with having opened the first .set of books for the Shedden Company, when they commenced business.

A more ab- surd order could not be conceived, than the one just referred to. Killarney is com- pletely isolated; it is twenty miles from anywhere, and sixty miles from a railway, so that all the fish taken are necessarily in- tended only for the use of the few f4milies living in the -village. To refuse thes fam- ilies the privilege of helping themselves, out of the boundless resources of the waters ly- ing at their doors, to what is to them an important article of food, is simply -brutal. The prohibitive order should be withdrawn at once. -The Hyams Brothers were brought up in the Toronto Police Court. the other morn- ing, on remand, on the charge of murdering W. C. Wells, on January 16th, 1893. The case promises to be one of the most sensa- tional ever tried in Toronto. Over forty witnesses have been subpsemed for the pros- ecution, and it will be hardly possible to conclude the hearing at one session. The most interesting witnesses will be Mrs. Harry Hyams, wife of the younger prisoner; Uriah Jones, uncle of the dead youth, and those who were first on the scene when the alarm was given. It is anticipated that the defence Will present some new and startling developments hitherto unsuspected by the public. -A committee .appointed by the City Council of Stratford on officers and salaries have decided to recommend the reduction of the colleetor's salary from $500 per annum to $400. In lieu of this he is to receive a percentage on the amount of poll -tax collect- ed. . They have also decided to recommend that Police Constable John A. McCarthy, sr., who is now in his 83rd year, and still a member of the city police 'force, be super- annuated at an allowance of $200 yearly. Mr. McCarthy has been a member of the police force of Stratford for more than 33 years and attends to his duties much better than many a younger man would do. -The scarlet fever, which has of late' been prevalent in the south of Arran, Bruce county, reached the hcmse of Mr. John Grif- fin, of the 4th concession, recently. In a few days every member of the family' was prostrated with it, except Mrs. Griffin and the youngest child, -about two months old. On a Friday night, Lorne, aged 7, died, and on Saturday was buried. At this time, John, the eldest boy at home, aged 19, was seriously ill, and scion became delirious. He even threw himself out of bed, dislocating his wrist. On Sunday morning he, too, succumbed, and on :Monday was buried. Before he was interred, _Mr. Griffin, sr., had also passed away. Thus there were two dead in the house at the same time, father and see. Part of the time Mrs. Griffin had no heti) whatever to attend the sick. Two neighbors attended to the stock and did all they could in a,ssisting the sorrowing widow, by doing the outside work and look- ing after the burials, even at a risk to them- selves.

They Are Offered AproPos Of the Imminent -Opening of the Bench Show Season.i [Special Correspondence. /emcee°, Jan. 28. -The bench show Oason Till shortly begin, and then the an - wave of dog stories will surge through ite land. In fact, it has already reared i awful crest, as I discovered yesterday during a two hours' ride in the smoking oar of an accommodation train. As is always the case on such a train, the personnel of the passengers was con- stantly changing, but there were two men besides myself who remained in the car as long as I did, and they both had a few dog storfes to tell. I started the trouble, innocently enough, by speaking of Strip, the dog that was employed in London two or three years ago to insert electric wires in subways. "That's a mood stoty. stranser." said °When I was up in Winnipeg two or three years ago," said a man wearing a fur cap who sat in front of us, "I heard about a dog that went out with his master shooting. There were plenty of prairie chickens that day, and the dog point -6d 'ern all right, and the man shot every time, but for some reason ho didn't bit ary bird. Well, finally he quit and start- ed home. The dog seemed to be awfully downhearted, but when they got almost to the house he got excited and grabbed the man's coat, like he wanted to lead him somewhere. Well, the man had to go, sand where do you suppose the dog led the fellow? Well, sir, it was straight to the market, and when he got the man there he gave one look at tha hundreds of prairie chickens there for sale, and then he just pointed, and he wouldn't go away till the man had bought." The man who was sitting with me seem- ed to take this story as a direct reflecition on the truth of the one he had told and straightway retorted with another, which was manifestly invented, and then tho than with the fur cap told of a dog that could chew tobacco and expectorate as ac- curately as Dickens' Mr. Challop, whose exploits were recorded in "Martin Ch,uz- zlewit." I am not sure bow long they would have continued their rivalry if I had not silenced both by telling about the swimming races between dogs that were carried on near Boston two or three years ago. Although this story of mine was perfectly true, and the result of the races was printed in the newspapers the day after their occurrence, both my compan- ions evidently thought me a romancer whom they could not -hope to outlie, and the movers/radon was abruptly changed.

They fixed a date on which certain obsolete coins might be ex- changed for their mere value as metal, which resulted in a great flow of lire into the national melting pot, so that now tome of the discredited coins have got to be quite rare. Take, for instance, the Pio Nono 6 franc piece. No French or Italian railway will accept it, and the astute Paris cabby will become quite idiomatic if you tender it to hm. But it is worth 10 francs to collectors and has even fetched 16 francs Then there is the 20 lire plow, the gold coin It is worth 2 sovereigns. The (rano and 2 franc pieces will possibly also go up They are to be had now at half the value at which they were issued -London News. American Industries.

Mrs. Daniel Yeo had gone out to the yard for something, and when returning to the house the wind was so stroog that it blew her off her feet as she was ascending the door steps, apd, in the fall, she broke one of her legs: Dr. Wood was sent for, but on account of the drifted roads, he was unable to get through till the next day, when he rrived on snow shoes.
