Last winter a delegation of Indians from n far western state, oh a tour of inspection through the interior department, visited the land office, where th-y were introduced to the clerk wbo had especial charge of their section of the countrya a bumptious little in- dividual with a big head. This official pro - 'seeded to overpower tie red men with his importance. Graspin each one of them cordially by the hand, he patted them pat- ronizingly on their baoks, and then deliver- ed a long speech, explaining. in detail the works of the office, their interest in it, lay- ing particular stress oq the fact that he was the motive power of it all. As soon as their entertainer paused for breath the visiting 11:aliens began to grunt and talk among themeelves. " What are they saying ?" asked the egnostical clerk, expecting to hear high praise of himself. "Tell us what they are eaying." "1 cannot tell you," replied the inter- preter. "It was notfet you to hear," But the little man insisioed, and with great reluctance the interpreter finally. yielded. "They said," he tranelated, " Little man, big head, heap talk, say gioth- ing, much fool." • 1 A Protector and Guide. 1 Three little girls went berrying reeently, going up the side of a mountain. Sunset came and the little girls did not come back, so the family went after them; buti: ight came and they had not been found. All night long the people searohed, but here Ili was no sign of the children. Word was sent out, and all the neighbors joined ' the search. _Early the next morning the bark of a dog was heard, and the people shouted. There was a sound of crashing in the bushes far up the side of the mountain, and the dog that had gone with the little girls same bound- ing into the sath barking with alt l his might, ; When he saw the people, he turned about and went bounding, running and barking joyfully up the mountain. The Fie°. ple followed, nd there they found the three little girls itting close together under the protection of a big rock. The dog had laid at their fee all night), and only left them when he h ard the voices, to guide the hunters to them. , • Just For Fun. A Sunday Solsool Superintendent at the close of an address on the Creation, which he was sure he had kept within the compre- hension of the least intelligent of the schol- ars, smilingly invited questions. A tiny boy, a white eager face and large brow, at once held up his hand. "Please sir, why was Adam never a baby ?" The superin- tendent coughed in some doubt as to what answer to give, but a little girl of nine, the eldeet of several brothers and sisters, came promptly to his aid. " Please sir," she said, smartly, "there was nobody to nuss him." , The superintendent of a city Sunday scheol was making an appeal for a collec- tion for the shut-in society, and he said : "Cam any boy or girl tell me of any shut- in person mentioned in the Bible? Ah, I see ,several hands raised. That is good. This little boy right in front of me may tell me. Speak up good and loud, so that all will hear you, Johnnie." "Jonah !" shriek- ed Johnnie. ' • A Good Answer. Ernest McGaffeye the poet, is accredited with a good bonmon A lady said to him: " Oh, Mr. MeGaffey, I have just seen your wife for the &et time -since your mar- riage. But I had supposed that she was a taller woman. She seems shorter than *hen I saw her last." "Certainly," replied the poet solemnly; "she has married and settled down, you know."—San Francisco Argonaut. Keeping the Heart. Until you have learned to control your thoughts, you will never be able to live a godly and righteous life. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he ; and It is because the thoughts that we entertain in the hostelry of the soul are such worthless and vain ones that our words and acts often bring so heavy a disgrace on the name we love. Well might the wise man say, "Keep thy heart above all keeping, for out of it ire the issues of.life," When the heart hi right, the ear,and the mouth and the feet 'will necessarily obey its,promptings ; but when the heart is wrong, filled with tides of ink, like the outtlefieh, it will develop itself in the impurity to whiels it gives vent. If you habitually permit evil things to have their right of way through you, or lodging within you, remember that in God's sight you are held equally guilty with those that indulge in evil acts, because you are withheld, not by your fear of him, but by your desire to maintain Your position among men.—F. B. Meyer. • The Middle Aged Woman. The woman of thirty and upward is corn- ing to her own. Not a long While ago it was the fashion for novelists to make heroines of misses whose years rarely uurobered twenty, and often stopped at sixteen. There seemed somethine attractive in the beauty and innocence of youth. Either the supply ran out or people began to get tired of bread and butter fiction maidens' for gradually the age of heroines has movedup, and to -day they are frequently almost middleaged. This is fitting. Because she has out- lived the twenties a woman has not out. e lived life. She is capable of moving the world more effectually as a matron than as a maid. Most of the well-known women of history were over thirty when they distin- guished themrelves. Says Balza° : "A woman of middle age retains nothing of the pettiness of youth. She is a friend, who gives you all the , feminine delicacies, who displays all the grace's, all tbe possessions which nature has given to wome to please 'man, but who no longer sells t ese qualities. She is hateful or lovable according to her presentions of yout whether they exist under the epidermis or whether they are dead." His Sermon Discussed. - A young English minister, preaching in a Scotch village, was invited out to tea by one of the parishioners. At the festive table his sermon was frankly discussed. "Ye treated o' temptation fine, laddie," said the hostess, "but I didna oare for the way ye spoke o' the evil one." "1 kat called him the devil, I think." " Ou ay, recht aneuoh, but ye should ha' pit it de'il, for that eoun's friendlier like." • President Steyn's Scotch Relatives. The father-in-law of President Steyn, of the Orange Free State, is the Rev. Mr, Fraser, of Inverness, Scotland. • He is minister of the Dutch Reformed ohuroh' while the president's /mother-in-law, is native of Aberdeen. She and her husban and her daughter were on a visit a fe months ago to the Rev. M. Paterson, th. United Presbyterian minister, of Stone house, Lanarkshire, who is, it is said, • brother of Mrs. Fraser. " Bluid bein_ thicker than water," it is therefore not sur- prising, says the "N. B. Mail," that Presi- dent Steyn should have been instrumental in arranging that famous conference between President Kruger and Sir Alfred Milner at Bloemfontein. • Grey. CoMSCIL :MEETING. —At the last meeting of Grey council, held on the 25th ult., it was moved by Robert Livingstone, seconded by Adam Turnbull, that George Oliver be paid the sum of $1,353, on account of No. 2 Government drain 'contract, as per engineer's certificate. Carried; Complaint was made to the council that the line fence at lot 6, on the sideroad between lots 5 and, 0013- oeipion 9, was out on the road allowance several feet causing an obstruction to the road, and asking to have said fence removed. Moved by Livingstone seconded hy Mc- Donald that the Clerk be authorized to notify the owner of lot 6, concession 9, to remove his line fence from off the road al- lowanceas soon as possible. Carried. Moved by Adam Turnbull, seconded by Isaac Lake that th,e Clerk be authorized to ask the townsi•lip Engineer td make a supplementary award to his award, dated 7th January, 1898, for the deepening of the culvert across the Grand Trunk Railway, at lot 8, conces- sion 9. Carried, Messrs. Turnbull and Livingstone reaerted having let the contract of digging the 'Fraser! drain to John Curtain and Wm. Copnelly, for the BUM of $1014, they being the low** tender. Moved by Isaac Lake, seconded by Adam Turnbull that Robert Livingstone be appointed in- spector on the Pram -drain., After praising numerous accounts the e6uncil adjourned until the 29th of November. —Mr. Matthew O'Brien, a member of the, well known firm of O'Brien Brothers, im- plement and coal dealers, of St. Marys, was the victim of a serious accident Ithis other evening. While descending the rear stairs of a business house he slipped and fell, fracturing one of his legs between the knee and ankle. —A gloom was cast over Lakeside and vicinity on Tuesday of last week, when Mr. James McLaren departed this life at the ripe age of 80 years. Mr. McLaren resided on the farm on which he died for almost sixty years. He was a staunch member of the First Presbyterian ohuroh, of St. Marys. His presence in the neighborhood in which he lived will be very much missed as he was a particular favorite with both young and old. MISERABLE WOMEN. How Women Lose Interest in Their Households. The Ills to Which Women are Heir Cause Much Suffering—The Experience of a Lady Who Has Found a Speedy Cure. Mrs. lade T. Comeau, who resides at 83i Arago street, St. Rooh, Quebec, is a teacher of French, English and inusio. .For many years Mrs. Comeau has 'suffered greatly from internal troubles, peculiar to her sex, and also from continuous weakness, the re- sult of headaches, neuralgia and nervous prostration. Her trouble became so bad that she was forced to give up teaching and go to an hospital, but the treatment there did not materially benefit her, and ultimate- ly she left the hospital, still a great sufferer. Meantime her husband having heard of the great value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, purchased a few boxes and pre- vailed upon his wife to try them. When interviewed as to the meirts of the pills, Mrs. Comeau gave her story to the reporter about as follows : " My troubte came on after the birth of my child, and up to the time I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I could find noth- ing to cure me. I suffered much agony, was very weak, had frequent severe headaches, and little or no appetite. It was not long after I began the use of = the pills, that I found they were helping me very much, and after taking them for a couple of months I was as well as ever I had been. My ap- petite improved, the paint left me and I gained considerably in fleah, and am again able to attend to the lessons of my pupils and superintend my household work. Since using the pills myself I h ve recommended them to others, and have heard nothing but praise in their favor who ever used." No discovery of modern, times has proved such a boon to women as pr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Aeting directily on the blood and nerves, invigorating the body, regulating the functions they restore health and strength to exhausted , women, and niake them feel that life is again worth liv- ing.

Great In Speed, Appet te and Power of Abstinence. Easily first to oceanic iirds in point of interest as well as size e Ines the lordly albatross, whose home is gar south of the line and whose empire is that illimit- able area of turbulent waves which sweep resi tless around the world. Com- pared with his power of vision (sailors give all th ngs except a ship the epicene gender "h") the piercing gaze of the eagle or c ndor becomes myopic unless, as indeed nay be the case, he possesses other sens 8 unknown to us by means of which he is made aware of passing events interesting to him at incredible distances from them. Out of the blue void he comes unhastiug on motionless pinions, yet at eine speed that, one moment a speck har ly discernible, turn but yenr eyes ,away and ere you can again look around he is gliding majestically over- head. Not iing in nature conveys to the mind so w nderful an idea of effortless velocity a does his calm appearanee from vaea cy. Like most of the tree pelagic bir s, he is a devourer of offal, the success ul pursuit of fish being im- possible to is majestic evolutions. His appetite is enormoes, but his pow- ers of abstinence aro equally great, end often for days he goes, without other nourishment than a drink of the bitter sea. At the Gargantuan banquets, pro- vided by the carcass of- a dead whale, he will gorge himself until incapable of He- ine from the sea, yet still his angry scream may be heard, as if protesting agginst his ability to find room for more provision against hungry days soon to follow. Despite his incomparable grace of flight when gliding through midair witis his mighty wings outspread, when ashore or -on deck he is clumsy and ill at case. Even seated upon the sea, his proportions appear somewhat ungainly, while his huge hooked beak seems too heavy to be upheld., On land, he ca.n hardly balance himself, and the broad, silky webs of his feet soon become lacer-. ated. Thus his visits to the lone and generally inaccessible rocks, which are his breeding places, are as brief as may be, since even conjugal delights are *dear- ly purchased with hunger and painful re- straint. A true child of the air, land is hateful to him, and only on the wing does he appear to be really at home and ease- ful. The most notable piece of literature in which the albatross figures prominently is Coleridge's "Rime of the Ancient Mar- iner.". Largest Family on Record. In the iHarleian manuscript, Nos. 78 and 980, in the library of the British museum, Imention is made of the most extraordi ary family that has ever been known in the world's history. The parties - Were a S otch weaver and his wife (not wives), w o were the father and mother k of 62 chil ren. The meority of the offspring of this prblific peir were boys—exactly how many is not known, for the record men- tions the act that 46 of the male chil- dren live to reach manhood's estate, and only our of the daughters lived to be vows ip women. Thirty-nine of the sons were still living in the year 1630, the majori y of them then residing in and about Newcastle -on -Tyne. It is reco •ded in one of the old histories of Newcas le that "a certynelgentleman of large es aytes" rode "thirtg-andsthree miles beyo d the Tyne to prove this wonderful tory." It is furt er related that Sir J. Bowers adopted en of the sons and three other "landed entlemen" took ten eagle The rernainin members of the extraprdinary family we •e brought up by the parents. Woman and the Jewish Tlalmud. The Jewish Talmud has these sentences about women: "A. good wife is heaven's noblest gift. A housewife nev r allows herself to be disturbed from her work; even while conversing she is bu ily spin- ning. An old, experienced woman in a household is an ornament to it like a pearl. He who lives in an unkriarried etate knows no joys, none of the blessings of home, and is without support. The man who stands at the deathbed of his wife feels like those who saw the temple of Jerusalem reduced to ashen, for the wife is the temple in which each man finds repose and quiet, where he rests after the labors of the day, and where he can give expression te his feelings, joy- ful and mournful. God has given to wo- men more ability of judging correctly than a man." 6' Sparrow Cheek. My informant was feeding with bread crumbs in St. James park a wood pigeon at his feet. One of the bird's feathers, an undertail covert, which was ruffled and out of place, caught the eye- of a sparrow. The sparrow flew down, seized It in Its beak and pulled its best. The feather did not yield at once, and the pigeon walked off with offended dignity. The sparrow followed, still holding on, and in the end flew off triumphantly with the trophy to its "nest. •"Well, if that don't take the cake for cheek," was the comment of a passing laborer, "I'm, hang- ed!"—London Times. She Could Not Understand. "1 never speculated but once," said Mrs. Ravenhall to the Society of Political Study in New York. "Then I invested $200 in corn and never saw either money or corn afterward." "Why, what did you do with the corn?" asked one of the other ladies, very much aptonished.

This interest among his friends 14 in- ; cense to his soul, because it gives him a brief and unwonted power. He 1 lies around until school is out and meets the bOyS.

How the Diameter of a Ligh Flank Is Ascertained. 10 -ng you ever see the diamete ot a lightning flash measured?" asked a gebro- gist. "Well, here is the casewhici once inclosed a flash of lightning, fitting it *k- eens,, so that you can see just ho big • it ivas. This is called a 'fulguri e,'i or 1as-haling hole,' and the material is• usaeo of is glass. I will tell you it was manufactured, though it only ook ,a fraetion 01 a second to turn it out. "When a bolt of lightning strikes a bed of Sand, it plunges downward int the sand for a .distance less or greater, rans- forming simultaneously into glas, the silica in the material through wh eh; It passes. -Thus by its great heat it fo aeis a glass tube of precisely its own size. New and then such a tube known as ulgu- rite' is found and dug up. Fulgiirjtes have been followed into the sand by'ex- cavation for nearly 30 feet. They vary in interior diameter from the size oe a quill to three inches or more, accord( gto the 'bore' of the flash. "But fulgurites are not Alone pro steed in sand.

A Surprised Dog.', Among the livestock possessed by .a Barren Hill farmer there is a dog. The animal was gamboling one day on the nit - fruitful elevation that gives Darren eEll its mime when a trolley car eut of( its tail. Surprised, the dog turned, saw lying on the ground its bushy tail and with a • bark leeped upon the thing and began to play with it. Then, taking it in its mouth, the degran home and laid the tail at its mistress' feet.
