AGAIN THE CLERESHIP.—DEAR EXPOSITOR —A few years ago it Township in Western Ontario became terribly notorious, and had its fair name bedraggled in the dirt by the doings or reported misdeeds of a few of its misguided citizens, and I fear such crea- tures as Pat Malone', may succeed in so besmirching the good name of his home, unless they are checked in their natural and favorite occupation of dirt throwing. Were the Expositor read only in his home I would leave the people of that locality to place a true estimate on such outbursts of venomous jealousy as _appeared from that place last week, but as your paper is wide- ly read, and as I am also well known in the county of Hurog, I feel it my duty to cor- rect the false imliression that may be creat- ed. It is, in a sense, useless to characterize the whole thing as a tissue of falsehood, for none but a genuine disciple of the father of lies, or lineal descendant of Ananias would hide himself behind a decent Irishman's name and thus unload ° himself of such meanness. With reference to iny resig- nation, I wish to state that I informed the reeve se eeral days before the council met that I intended to resign, but before I did so I was assured on two different occasions by the reeve that the position was mine if I *anted it. I also notified Mr. Morley, the present clerk,of my intention to resign, as he had asked me to do so in case I so con- cluded. Now that disposes of falsehood No. Lf I am not correct the Reeve and clerk are at liberty to contradict my state- ments. In the next place I never approach- ed a map in the South East ward with any such proposition as I am charged with, and that man does not lives who can truthfully, over his own signature, con- tradict my statement. Again, I never went through the township circulating un- truths, but on the contrary I am prepared to prove anything I May have said with ref- erence to the election. Then again he says, What about the county clerkship, the Hurondale post office and other things?" Well, what about them? In 1891 I was a candidate, along' with sixteen others, for the county clerkship, and like all the rest but one, I was not elected,`because I did not get enough votes. I h -ad a right to_ be a candidate. The council of Usborne, com- posed of two Grits and three Tories, signed a splendid testimonial for me. Was that ieeking political honors? Two years ago I moved into a neighborhood where most of the people were going five miles for their mail. I caused a petition to be circulated, "BETTER THAN EVER" AND STILL THE BEST.

CIVE ONE SLOW WITH THE BLOWER AND THE POWDER IS DIFFUSED, MAKING A SURE AND PERMANENT CURE , Plittor WITH at..owER sfs CENT* asking for better mail facilities. I pointed out to the post office inspector that such could be granted us at a smell inetease in cost by extending the Hensall-Chiielhurst 'route._ The petition was honored, the re- quest granted, and Itumlay received a daily mail instead of a bi-weekly service, and the new post office, Hurondalii, 'a daily mail also. I had the honor of naming the office, recommending the postmaster and naming the place for holding the ioffice. Where was the seeking of political honors in this? P. M. says it was not my fault that I was not rewarded. That may be so, but if some of those people whorn I thus benefitted,now turn round and by falsehoods and contempt- ible insinuations seek to injure me in e ery way possible, they show an ingrati, ude worthy only of the uncivilized Ztilu, and follow the example of the ill-bred cur hat snaps at the caressing hand. My fa her used to say he never feared the wolves that kept a safe distance from his cabin nd simply howled in ambush, so perhap no great harm can come from a snarling, y 1 - Aug pack who are now barking at my hloIs at the safe distance of fifteen or twe ty miles, but it is sometimes necees ry te drive off these pests to prevent t poisoning the public mind with their yen ous attacks. As to who were at the oys supper and who were not there; let th ask those who got up the presentation fore he hurls his nasty insineaticits b cast with the intention Of detracting fr the honor of my receiving at the hands my friends the handsome present of a g watch and chain. If any one should e plain let those do it who contributed their means, not those like P. M., ar no doubt familiar in more ways than with the old fable of the dog in 40 man or the sour grapes episode. Come on your hiding place and %elate over your o siguature that the people may become quainted with a specimen of the kind hoodlums composing a portion of the lo strata of society, whose- sole business seems to be to misrepresent the motives others whom they wish to drag down t level with themselves. Thanking you space, I remain yours, etc.—G. W. H MAN, ex-elerk of Pishorne. • m- er • 8 - of Id Id of 15 De er of c - of er it of a or Presbytery of Huron. This.

You have heard of the man who had employed a new servant, fresh from a oountry town. The man had come highly recommended as honest, industrious and intelligent, and in appearance he evident- ly justified his sponsors. His employer re- turned after a couple of days' absence to find that the new servant bad been clean- ing up generally, and particularly in the wine cellar, where he had seemed all the dust and rust off of the wine bottles. Well, I know a, man who bad a similar axperience, though perhaps not quite so readily comprehended by the igeneral read- er. This man had traveled a treat deal and had a fad. They sometiroee go together. His fad was travel. Alpine dim bersnarry what they call alpenstocks, on which they burn the records of their_ mountain Ole umphs—the name of the mountain climb- ed, height, date, eto. They overrun the mountain. regions of Europe', bragging of their exploits and proving them by the stick. I can show a straight record of the Swiss Alps myself—having bought it at Interlaken, where it had evidently been left in • pawn by spree impeounious ama- teur mountaineer. I had climbed Mont Blanc—by telescope—and get my record something after the manneeof the man who bought his ancestors in the "Pirates of Penitence." But toheturn. My friend didn't carry a metalled stick, but he had trunks and grip: and typewriting machine case and hatbox covered with labels. These labels glowed just what an awfully wide awake fellow he was and where he had been and how often. They were the record) of his travels over the world. And as he had been about a good bit they were searlosities. It used to 'give my friend, who is well known in New York, immense satisfacdon to see the look of awe with whiCh these relics were regar4d by porters and baggage men and hotel clerks wherever he went. They were that ,plastered with steamship cabin rnarka and hotel paiters and custom bongs labels and railway stamps that you couldn't tell what they were except berths shape. We were in Detroit last winter, when he came to my room in the hotel half intoxi- cated and the other half crazy with anger., As soon as I could get him to tionverae, in- telligently between oaths 'calculated t0. sink this confounded country out of sight he told me that the chambermaid, in 'an- ticipation of an extra tip, bad washed off every last one of his pet earmarks, and that Lt was blankety, blank— "And to think that L have to begin an over agatin 1" said he, the seven wasted years staringthim in the face. And it was tough, you will admit. But that chamber- maid didn't get ,her tip.—New York Her - 'aid. ° COQUETTES AS BENEFACTORS Creatures of Definite Toot, Their Interest ° la Nen Is Genuine. From an ethical standpoint, at the risk of appearing paradoxical, I will go as far its to assert that the coquette is your true philanthropist. To begin with, Wee is gen- erally a "msn's woman." That term thee mediately generates a prejudice in all well; regulated minds, and yet 'why should it? \ Charles Dudley Warner lays of her, "She is a happy combination of "panties some- what diffieult to describe.' Mrs Racket says: "Avreature for whom education' has done much and nature more. She has taste, elegance, spirit and underetanding." Warner says: "She is ell thin and snore. To begin with, he is old enough to know her weed thoroughly; yet, though she need never have been beau- tiful, she must have kept her youth. She " is in no atnee_e. Minim neither is , a she everintiffreeturel. She werail hot speak I Greek eVon itshe could. She is it creature 1` of infinite tact, WhOM every outward" sem- blance of a man interests profoundly. With 1 him she is always at her best, and she con- trives to get out Of him the best there is. She listens well and grows sympathetio as she listens. , "Has he a special weakness? She half tempts him to believe it is it virtue. An adept in the subtlest fames of flattery, she would force the meanest of us to shine, even when he is ill at ease. An -yet, above all, she remains sincere. Her interest in him is real and survives the fleeting mo- ment. He is a man—that is to say, for her the brightest page in nature's book. She respects convention, knowing well when she may venture to be unconventional, yet she is unapproachable and irreproachable. In return he acreres her." ' George that tiays, "One'e self satisfac- zi tion is a kind o untaxed property, which 14 is very unple , sant to find depreciated." The men's wo an, with a word, or a ges- ture, or it look t conveys to her companion the conviotion, "You interest me, not so much for the, sake of pleasing, as because it is true." Can suoh canduct be actuated -by any other motive than that of the pur- est and truent philanthropy?-1Appincottle The Writer. ' Talk is .srleing, as 14 bas off and on since the no wornont subject of "wom- an's sphere" came before thepublio, about women in place of men for wiltters at the private dinner table. The man is so infi- nitely superior to the woman at the public teible that it does not seem possible that he dan\ever be superseded in private -life. A. men will wait upon a man auwell as up- on a woman, or a woman as well as upon a man in a hotel or restaurant, provided always he expects to receive a tip and thinks it w rth his while. A .woman In either of th se places usually treats a wom- an with soa4rt courtesy, and in her amia- ble moods e is apt to be officious to both men and w men. Women do not seem to appreciate the fact that waiting' on a ta- ble is a function to be executed with dig- nity. If the man waiter makes it too much - of a function and his dignity is somewhat excessive, his is an error in the right di- rection. Heat least seenis to take a certain ,pleasure in thg work, vibilo women appar- ently regard waiting as merely a duty to be gone through with as much grace as may be.—New York Times. Passion Flower. Tbe passion flower has Its name from the Latin words signifying "suffering Bower," referring to the filaments or rays and other parts, being likened to the cir- eumstances of Christ's crucifixion.

A few days ago she sent an invitation to Captain A— to take tea with her, saying that "the pleasure of Captain A—'s company is respeotfttlly requested," etc. To her astonishment she received by an orderly the following note: "Enlisted men John and Smith have been detailed to do guard duty, but the remainder of Captain A—'s company accept with pleasure Mrs. N ---'s polite invitation." The Latest Meputect eancer cure. One of the greatest developments in medical science of the future will be the diseove/y of a cure for cancer. M. Deni- senko, a Russian! -doctor, on the strength of investigations he has made, earnestly entreats the medical profession to experi- ment upon the sap of the wart -wort,. Chelidoniura majus as a possible remedy for the treatment dthis frightful scourge. The sap of the plant is widely used in Russia, as it is in other countries for making warts disappear. Dr. Denir:enko Iran found that after prolonged use in very small doses a preparation of the sap administered internally causes cancer growths to disappear. He has published it paper, illustrated by photographs, in which the history of seven cases of cancer are given, four being cases of external growths in such places -of the body as rendered surgical operaions of no use, and three cases being internal growth, itt the oesophagus and the stomach. From the photographs it would seem that the effect of the internal treatment especially are simply astonishing. The. growths have totally disappeared. The growth ih the oesophagus was formerly so great that the patient could swallow liquid food only; he can now swallow chopped meat, bread and hard-boiled eggs. This is said. to be the first case on scientific record of cancer growths being expelled by the use of internal remedies only. Of course, the growths may reap- pear. It is to settle this question that Or. Denisenko specially appeals to his col- leagues for co-operation. Another essent- ial point is that the Chelidoniutn sap contains two deadly alkaloids, chelidonine and sangui-pyrine, and it has to he proved whether its continued use, even in small doses, will not tell in the leng An Unworthy Husband.

Annually 300,000,00% feet of logs are rafted to the, United States, ' he says,mainly from the Georgian Bay dis- trict to the mills in Michigan, and the same gangs who work in the mills in sum- mer go into the Canadian woods in winter and cut the logs. .
