There is not a mother who loves her infant but should keep on hand dur- ing the hot weather a bottle of Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Straw- berry. There is no remedy so safe and so effective for the diarrhcea of infants, and none has the endor- sation of so many Cana- dian mothers who have proved 'its merits, and therefore speak with confidence. One of these is Mrs. Peter Jones, Warkworth, Ont., who says: "1 can give Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Strawberry great praise, for it saved my baby's life.

A FEW, "TRIFLES" ;WHICH THE SUL- -TAN SENT. 11\11839. • They Put President 'Van Duren In a Dilemma, and Congress Finally Had to Take • a Hand 111 the Affair. Some Handsome Presents. On the seventh day of the month of Schawwal, in the year 1254 of the hegira -which is the Arabian way of writiag Dee. 25,- 1839 -the sultan of Oman, Whose name was Sestyid Stiood, Bin Sul- tan Bin Ahmed, addressed a gracious let- ter to "His Excellency Martin Van Bu- ren, President of the United Stater; of North' America," 111 .which he informed the president that he ,had sent him by the royal ship Sultanee; a few trifles as a token of friendship. and good feeling. Theses trifles consisted of two Arabian horses and their groom, one bottle of attar of rose, two pieces of geld, five demijohns of nosewater, one Persian carpet, one gold ornament - with a silk tassel, four camel's hair shawls, ;ono gold -mounted sword, two large pearls, ono string of rio pearls, one gold plate, one bottle of diamouds, one gold snuff box etudded with precious stones and one box of mixed pearls and diamonds. The ship with its precious- cargo ar- rived in New, York on the 2d of May, and the president was at once notified. Under the constitution the -president has not the right to accept a personal gift from May foreign state. or power, and consequently Mr. Van Buren was is a dilemma, He referred the matter to the secretary of state, and' -the secretary of state wrote to the agents of the vessel in New York, and they, in turn, informed the commander of the ship that the presi- dent was without authority to accept tho gifts. But the commander was not will- ing to 'carry the presefits back to his royal master, for the sultan had a way of cutting off the heads of his messengers• if they fallen to deliver hie; presents. So he politely but firmly insisted that they should be accepted. Fearing that this might give rise to un- pleasant compliCatious, . the president finally decided tn refer. the question to congress as a last resort. Accordingly, on May 21 he addreesed a communication to the senate setting forth the difficulty he was in and asking that sense action might be taken. The matter was duly considered by 'congress, and at the end of two months' deliberation it passed a reso- lution authorizing the president to accept the gifts in the nau3e of the United States governmentand to dispose of such as could not conveniently be stored in the state department. After three mouths of correspondence, red .tape, di- - pious ;Icy and legisl a tion the sultan's „Christmas presents were fluidly accepted, eind then- the president was put to the • trouble of selling the horses, the shawls and the roeewater, while Uncle Sam was given the ferther trouble of finding a suitable place to store the remaining gifts ancl was Afterward put to great expense in capturing the thief" who car- ried off the ,entire collection in a bag and was only caught after a long chase. This is not the only tinse that -Uncle Sam has got himself into trouble by his. popularity. For many years our consuls and ministers in Asia and Africa had a hard time trying to • convince emperors, - sultans and kings that it Was against the laws •of our country for them to accept the presents which. these .sovereigns in- sisted upon offering them to show 'how much they thought of Uncle Sam. Many of these offerings consisted of animals - horses, elephants, tigers and the like -- and our representatives had no end of trouble in :finding accommodations for such: uuwieldly and ferocious gifts, which are °Mimes forced upon thein in spite ef their protests. Of course, Uncle Sam ha a received many presents which he has been very glad to acceptas tokens of friendship and good will on the part of foreign gov- ernments. These gifts embrace a wide variety of objects, from a plain whale's tooth -presented by the king of the Fiji islauds-to costly ornaments, handsome pieces of furniture and rare paintings. The first gift :received by the American governnaeut was two paintings, oil por- traits of .Louis XVI and Marie An- toinetteepresented by the king and queen themselves soon after- the close of our Revolutionary war. Uncle Sam has been particularly for- tunate in the matter of eases. The French government's regard for .Uncle Sam is embodied in some beautiful Sevree vases of the highest artistic beau- ty, and very valuable.. Among the 'most noteworthy are the two French Limoges vases in the National museum. They are each over eight feet in height, one decorated with emblems of war and the other witb symbols of peace. Their total cashvalue-if we may .he allowed to place a money valuation on a gift -is n17,500.. Another- vase that should not be over- looked is the one awarded by the emper- or of Germany to this country as first prize at the Berlin Fishery exposition in 1880. It is .made of silver, gold • and glass-, studded with jewels and is of ex- quisite design and workmanship. On the outside of the -Natioual mu- seum, as though deserving of no better accommodistion, is a huge stone sar- cophagus, or coffin, which was presented by the admiring people of Syria to Pres- ident Jackson. "Old Hickory" did ,not appreciate the gift and swore that, he 'would not be buried in it. It is, there- fore, not looked upon with much favor except by tourists, who have bp to this timechipped off more than ten pounds of . it as metnentos. . - Next to vases Uncle Sam is specially rich in swords -swords of all kinds, most of them handsome; and costly -that have been1 presented hY various foreign gov- ernments or their -representatives. Med- als, too, are a common form of gift. The sultan of Turkey showed his good will by sending us a medal in commemoration of the Ifour hundredth anniversaiin of the discovery of America. Itis an exquisite cameo in a case of gold studded with -- diamonds. Of course every one is familiar with the two great statues presented by the people of France to the people of Amer- ica -the statue of Liberty, which stands at the entrance to be harbor of. New York, and the Lafa 'ette statue, which adorns the beautiful mrli in Washington opposite the White ouse and has the „distinction of being t le only official mon- ument to a foreigner in the national cap- ital. Mention might be Made of many other gifts received by Uncle Sam from his foreign 'brethren, but those already cited will serve to show be their number and by their variety hew • great and how widespread is the eSteem in which our country is held. -Ladies' Nome JournaL mammals MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, pEAFORTH, ONTAFUO.

Human life masks may easily be taken by any one who is at all precise, neat and willing to devote two or three hours to learning and experimenting in this in- teresting work. Life masks are always more satisfactory than death masks, giv- ing the setting of a normal rather than a fixed expression. There is absolutely no danger, although it. is difficult to con- vince some subjects of the truth of this statement. When taking a life mask, the subject is told to sit naturally, with the head; held slightly forward and the eyes gently closed. An apron is put over the clothes for protection, and a tuft of cotton is placed in each ear to -keep out the plaster. The plaster being mixed by dropping It into water, one is ready to begin. The mixing of the plaster to the proper con- sistency is one of the most important parts of the work. A little salt may be added to make it set faster or a little glue to delay the hardening. Bluing or Other color is usually added, so that when one comes- to chisel the mold from the.cast the two parts can be easily dis- tinguished. The plaster is splashed over the 'face, with a spoon, knife.or stick. The breath- ing of the subject draws the plaster up en eighth or a quartei of an inch lite the nostrils. Thus the mask receives the full impression of the nose without any distortion of that organ by tubes being inserted in it. The plaster is prevented frees being drawn up too far byan un- conscious careful control of the breath. As the plaster, in setting, reaches the consistency of cream it may be applied with a knife blade, and so the mask is built upon until the mold has the desired thickness. Care must be taken to have all parts of 'the face completely covered while the plaster is thin and will take in the finest lines. The mask must be built strongly Where it encircles the face and extends from the forehead to the chin. But un - ler no consideration should the harden- ing plasterbe pressed So much against the thin film first applied as to crush it against the face. It is evident that no Plaster should be spread over the open- ings to the nostrils. 'Within 10 or 12 minutes after the plaster is mixed and p or 3 minutes after it is fully applied the mask may be removed by pulling kently forward and downward. The eubject must hold his features quietly during the operation, for even a smile would break the thin film of plaster from the face. After removing the mask it is allowed to harden thoroughly; then it is soaked in water in which washing soda, alum or some similar substance has been dissolved. This prevents the cast from uniting with the mold: Planter of paris is; then run into the wank, and when it bas become set the mold is bro- ken off, leaving a cast Of the face. -Sci- ence Siftings. A Business Proposition. One Chicago man successfully repelled An importunate beggar on State street. e was waiting for a car, when a shab- bily dressed humau being shuffled up to him and gasped out a request for 5 cents te pay for a bed and a bowl of soup. As the request was strongly tainted with suggestions of alcoholic indulgence the man looked him carefully in the eye for a moment and then said: "You look like a reasoeable fellow. .I'll make you a straight business preposition. I'll step nato this drug store with you, and each of us will take out all the money he has la his elothes and let the clerk divide equally between es. Is it a go?" The beggar looked at him only a sec- ond, then he murmured something about "going," but it was in reference to the man and his possible destination. After which the bedless one turned on his heel and shambled up the street. -Chicago News. The Cheerful Liar. One of the London Globe's correspond- ents in India assumes the responsibility for the following story: "Two sportsmen who were 'after a wounded tiger man, aged to get separated, and at the .mo- ment when they were some distance apart stripes made his appearance and bore down upon one of them. Tine went the rifle, but the tiger came on. Ting!' again,- and, with blood flowing-, the beast sprang forward with jaw? apart. The sportsman saw his . one chalice. He held the rifle sideways and horizontally to the growling beast, and in a second the huge teeth were firmly locked in the barrels. Then did that cool headed man calmly' hold the tiger like a dog at the end of a string till his friend arrived aud dispatched it." A Rapid Rhymer. • In illustration of the working powers of George R. Sims, the dramatist and poet, it is said that one night a new piece was produced at a leading theater in Lon- don. Sims sat it out and then returned to his offie.), where he wrote a column and a half of criticism in rhyme. It was near the time for the paper to go to press when he began, and the boy took the piece verse by verse from him to the composing room, the boy walking con- tinuously from 000 to .the other for .an hour. • It Was an Inherited Gift. "Johnnie, you talk; too much." "See here, dad, an I to blame for your marrying into a talkative family?" - Cleveland Plain Dealer. Queen Elizabeth made her breakfasts and slippers off of salt beef and ale. In contrast, Mary, queen of Scots, whose tastes were French, had a most dainty table and was luxurious in the extreme.

When my children made a noise while playing 1 would be so overcome with nervousnesb and weakness that I could not do anything and had to sit down to regain composure. My limbs were unnaturally cold and I was subject to nervous headaches and dizzienes. My memory became uncertain and sleep deserted me. "1 havie been taking Millaarn's Heart and Nerve Pills, and as a result am very much bettea. have improved in health and strength rapidly. The blessing of sleep is restored to me. My heart is much stronger, and the oppressive sensation has vanished/ d can now go up -stairs without stopping and with the greatest of ease, and I no loriger suffer from dizziness or headache.
