DEATH OF a PIONEER.—To the long list of deaths recorded this year we have this week to add another name, that of Mr. William Wilson, twelfth concession,West Wawanosh; at the age of 75 years. He was a native of Cilbrachan, Renfrewshire, Scotland. Whert quite young he learned the trade of weaving with his father, who was in the emplay of one of the ' manufacturers in Paialey which was then noted for the excellence of its ahasvls and other woven goods. When William was about 16 years of age his par- ents ;came to this country, and deceased lived ,for some time about the Niagara dis- trict, moved to Zora in 1842, and on 064; ber 30th, 1855, was married to Margaret Adison at Ingersoll. They settled in West Zora, and moved to West Virawanosh in the spring of 1882. Mr. Wilson had not been able to work much for the past six years; but although graduall failing in health, was not confined to b d till about a week before his death whic took place on the 22nd ult. He had a kind and quiet disposi- tion, and was an adher nt of the Presbyter- ian church. To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Laxative Bro All druggists refund th cure. 25c. E. W. Gr each box. Turkeys For Th Canadian ..fowls and have beconin popular w old aountry, and a goo tablished there for th this year would have b o Quinine Tablets. money if it fails to ve's signature is on Old Country. espeeially turkeys, th the people of the market is being is- m. .The shipments en much larger than ever before, but tor ti e unfortunate cir- cumstances that shippers can not get cold storage vessels to carry them across the At- lantic on account of so maiiy vessels having been chartered by the Brieish Government for the transportation df soldiers and supplies to South Africa. t13' ut for this, the shipments would not onli be larger, but prices would be higher than they are now likely to be. ; However, a considerable num- ber will still find their way across the At- lantic.. It is expected that the total ship- ments will reach from 110,000 to 120,000 turkeys. If there had been the necessary space shipments would have reached a much larger total, as their is a steadily in- creasing demand from England for our turkeys. The dealers who are shipping this year complain that many of the birds received are not in a fit condition for export. The Englishman wants a good fat bird and will not take any other. A considerable portion of the turkeys coming in at present are, therefore, being used for local consumption, which means that Englishmen are getting the good and Canadians the poor turkeys. There is a demand, too, not only from Eng- land for Canadian poultry but also from France. The firm of Dtsvid Bloch, of Paris, recently wrote to a Toronto dealer aaking for Canadian turkeys'but the order could not be filled, as the dealer was unable to secure the birds. Another Parisian restaur- anteur, too, uses about half a million pounds of Canadian chickens. While prise - tinily all the turkeys exported to the old country this year will have been pur- chased in Canada, the same cannot be said of chickens. Dealers say that not enough , chickens are raised here to supply the local and outside markets, and last week one local dealer purchased in Buffalo 250,000 pounds of chicken. These chickens are purchaeed by, Buffalo dealers from the raisers in Illinois, Indiana and Mis- souri, the latter being a famous chicken state. They are sent hero all ready peeked and in condition to go right into cold storage. A Toronto dealer received an offer recently from a firm in Sedalia, Wis- consin, offering one 'million pounds of chickens. Referring to the requirements of the Can- adian trade Mr. A. J. King, of the King - Darrell PrOcluce Company, said to a re- porter: ",-Ontario farmers need to pay more attention to the raising of poultry if the development which is taking place in the exportebusiness is to continue. In Ire- land,- Hungary,- Normandy and Germany farmersmake a feature of peultry raising, and soma of them make hheir entire living out of it. ;Bussis'i paltry trade with :Eng- land is enormous.

Mr. King stated that exporters were pay- ing slightly more for turkeys this year, prices to farmers being from six and one- half to seven cents per pound, live weight. • Pret4, Heavy. The Duke and Duchess of Connaught, on their visit to Egypt, met with several hum- orous experiences. One of them shows that even the Egyptians are not free from an un- happy weakness fer saying just the wrong thing at a Critical moment, says Youth's Companion. After an inspection of the troops by the Duke, outside of Omdurman, to which the Duchess had 4ccompanied him on horseback, the girths of her saddle suddenly gave way. There was,no; way of repairing them, and to enable her Rciyal Highness to get back with the least posisible inconvenience a sort of sedan chair Was improvised from a gun car- riage. On this she was carred by Egyptian gunners, who were in charge of a native officer. On the way' the Duchess said: "1 hope your men will not be tired after carrying me," and was surprised and amused to re- ceive the ungallant reply:— "Indeed, no, madam; you are no heavier than the gun they are accustomed to carry!" In Public. There are few better places in which to study the good and bad points of mankind than a public conveyance. I always resent it when I see a young and healthy girl sit while an aged man or woman stands, and have a thrill of delight when I see a woman with a baby in her arms enter and half a dozen men rise to give her a seat. And to the honor of mankind be it said that this is the rule, not the exception, among men of all classes—the day laborer as well as the thoroughbred gentleman does honor to motherhood. A few weeks ago a small boy of three years of age was in a. horse car with his mother. As there were many seats to Sparc, the little fellow was allowed to kneel on the end seat in the forward part of the car, where through the front window, he could watch the driver and horses. Sud- denly his view was cut off by a man who, jumping upon the front platform, stood with his broad back to the car window. Perhaps the inteneity of the child's gaze upon the objeetionable back made the man turn. Glancing in, he saw the eager face close to the glass. He wee a plain man, but as he stepped to the other side of the plat- form the kindly smile that lighted his face made it lovely. "Mamma,' cried the delighted baby, "that gentleman moved so I could see the horses ! I'm sure be must have a little boy of his own." In public and in private the world over it is the unselfish "fellow feeling" that makes us wonderously kind.—Harper's Bazar. Who is Your Druggist? Who is your druggist?

Sweet and comely, he:says, are the maidens of Devonshire • deli- cate are the maidens of Devonshire '• deicate and of gracious seeming those who live in the pleasant places of London; fascinating for all their demureness the damsels of France clinging closely to their mothers, and with large eyesivondering at the Wicked world; excellent in her own place and to those who ?understand her is the 'Anglo•In- dian "spin" in her second season; but the girls cd.Amerioa are above and beyond -them all. They are clever; they can talk: Yea, it it said that' they think. Certainly they have an appearanoe of so doing. They are .tfr.

They are instructed in the folly and verity of the male mind, for they have associated with "the boys "from baby. hood, and can discerningly minister to both vicee, or pleasantly snub the possessor. They possess, moreover, a life among them- selves, independent of masculine associa- tions. They have societies and cluba and unlimited tea -fights, where all the guests are girls. They are self-posaessed, without parting any tenderness that is their sex right; they understand; they can take care of themselves; they are auperbly indepen- dent. When you ask them what makes them no charming they say "It is because we are better educated- than your girls, and —and we are more sensible in regard to men. We have good times all round, but we aren't taughe to regard every man as a possible husband. Nor is he expected to marry the first girl -he calls on regularly." • Wit and Wisdom. Canny Scot—" Your's is a poor country." Paddy—" Well, we can afford to wear breeches, anyhow 1" Mrs. Peter (with a pout)—" I don't be- lieve you tell me all yott know." Peter— "Yee, I do, darling, and many, many other things beside." Cupid's Menu.—"He told me he could live on bread and eheese and kisses." "What then?" " I fourid out that he ex: peoted papa to furnish the bread and cheese." "Aro you in favor of war ?" "I should say I am. My mother-in-law declares she will go tocCuba as a nurse, and I want her to have a chance to show her bravery," When a man is disimesed from employ- ment he always has .• good deal to say against his laee employers. A man, in fact, is like gun. He makes a great noise when he is discharged. While the reserves were leaving Dundee the other evening the wife of one of thein shouted to her husband---" Jock, if you lick me you're sure to beat them." "Dear Charlie, if I marry you will you get up and make the fires in the morning 9" "Darling girl, we will get married in the summer. Before winter you will get used to the idea of making the:fires yourself." Little Girl—" I'm afraid to go to sleep in the dark." Mamma—" Nonsense dear; re- member that little angels are with you." Little Girl (ten minutes later)--" 1 can't go to sleep, mamma; one of the little angels is biting me." " I cannot give you a definite answer to- night, Mr. Paperwaite," said the girl, softly; "you must ,give erne a month to think it over." "Very well," was the young man's response; "and in the meantime I can think it over myself." A svealchy bank offieer being applied to for aid by a needy Irishman, answered pet- ulantly, "No, no, I can't help you. I have fifty such applicants as you every day." " Shure and ye might have a hundred with-, out coating you much, if nobody gets more than I do,' was the response. There is a gem of a husband who never allows an opportunity to pass without ex- tolling to the skies the excellent qualities a his betterhalf. "My wife," he was heard to remark the other day, "is so kind, so indulgent towards everybody, that even when speaking ill of other people she does not believe a word of it herself." • A Long Letter in , a Nutshell. Londeaboro, Ont., Nov. 12, 1899. J. M. McLean, Goderich. Dear Sir,—If anyone' can profit from this letter, print it. I think my case should be made known. Last fall I was troubled -with a weak back and with my kidneys, etc. My case took a serious turn at last. It turned to dropsy. I had three good doctors attending me, none of them could help me. I was tapped seven times; rater this I was given 24 hours to live. "A good neighbor advised us to get some of your remedies. My brother went at once to Goderich and got your System Renovator and Specific Cure. I was sure I could know the change after the first dose. I began to improve at once, and was able to be in Goderich four weeks after I began them. I am since quite well. I worked quite a lot this summer. I thank you and wish you much success and long life. Yours truly, JAMES BROWN. 1669-4 Paymaster and President. A railway paymaster, whose conversation is reported by the St. Louis Globe -Demo- crat, is inclined to magnify im-office ; and no doubt he is a pretty important man in the eye of the employes, who look to hint for their wages. This view of the case is emphasized by a story which he tells of President Ingalls, of the "Big Four." President Ingalls was out in his special car one day on his road, and stopped near St. Paul, Indianapolis, for the purpose of in- specting a gravel pit that he antioipated purchasing. He had several minor officials of the yoad with him. A section gang was at work near by, and a switch ran up into the gravel pit, half a mile distant. The day vvaa very hot, and an almost tropical sun threatened to warp the rails out of position. Naturally Mr. Ingalls did not chooae to walk, half a mile under such circumstances, so he called to the section boss and ordered him to bring his handcar and crew, and carry the party up to the pit. " Not on your life," was the, surprising reply. "Sure, I have me orders from the superintendent to do the work beyond and not leave till it's finished." Mr. Ingalls smiled, colored, and was about to reply, when one of the party tried to help him out, by saying: "Oh, that's all right, Mike. This is Mr. Ingalls. Get your oar and come along." But Mike was not moved in the least by this appeal, and promptly replied : "Mr. Ingalls' is it ? Nieer a bit do I care who be is. I wouldn't lave this job for the paymaster himself, and that's all there is about it. You can walk to the gravel pit." • Reading Aloud. , Reading alou.d to the children and in the family circle—how fast it is becoming one of the loot arts. Whet multitudes of children of former days were entertained and in- structed by this praetice, and how few there are who are so entertained and instraa,ted nowadays, says a writer in the Hartford Courant. Children now, after being taught to read, join that great army which takes in the printed word swiftly and silently. Most parents, doubtless, are too busy to spare time to educate their sons and daugh- ters by reading to them and as the child- ren grow older they find their hours too crowded to devote any of them simply to listening. "What is the nee?" they would say, if asked. "Tastes differ, and we can read what we want in a fraction of the time that would be consumed if we had to sit still and hear it." This is all true enough, but is there not something lost in having the custom of •reading aloud lapse so entirely? As a sign of the times, the change is another proof of the rush and hurry of life, and, in the him: ily, it is more or lest to be considered an evidence of the tendency to "independence" on the part of the younger members. Corn - mon interest in a good book, read aloud by a father or mother, is a factor in the home that is important enough to have some at- tention paid to it. The opposite of "skim- ming" a book, it developes certain mental .faeulties that it is well to have developed, and as an exordia 'in elocutionfor the read- er it-hasa distinct advantage,, Books so read are remembered, and th.irI infltence on character far exoeeda that of 4tany a volume whose pages are tuned in a enters% effort to reach the last. Reading aloud is a salut- ary check on the habits of reading too much and reading too fast. It would certainly be worth while to take up the practice in families, where the con- ditions favor it, as an experiment. The. winter evenings are long, and as one looks' back on them he can find at least a 'few hours that could have been devoted to read- ing or to listening. Reading aloud is a quiet enjoyment, to be sure, but it is an en- joyment. • Curing Inebrates. SOME FACTS ABOUT THE METHOD OF GIVING' THE KEELEY CURE. The management of the Minneapolis Keeley Institute is willing to give informa- tion to interested persons who desire to find ont something in reference to the Keeley Cure. In a recent interview the manager said: "The Keeley Cure has reclaimed over 300,000 men and women from inebriety. Any person who takes the Keeley Cure is in the best poesible physical condition' after taking the cure." "Are patients confined to their room or bed during treatment ?" he was asked. Not unless some disease other than inebrity has attacked the patient.," he re- PIie'd& • ` you give whisky during treatment ?" " ln all caaes where the patient desires or rsquires it. He usually declines it after the second or third day of treatment, and ire- quently will not take it after the first day. The whisky used at the Minneapolis Keeley Institute is absolutely pure." "Does he refuse it because it nauseates him ?" "No. Nausea is not produced; he drops the use of whisky because he is indifferent to it ; does not desire it—the remedy promptly relieves the system of the neces- sity for liquor, and the patient stops using i "Does a periodic drunkard yield as readily to the treatment as an habitual drinker ?" "Any manner of drunkenness is cured in four weeks, whether habitual or periodic, arid whether the inebriate has used whisky, beer, wine, brandy, rum or gin." "Do not patients grow weary and in- different during treatrnent ?" " Time passes most agreeably at the in- stitutes. What with the attendance upon treatment four times daily, taking of the tonic every two hours,ithe pleasant compan- ionship of men who can sympathize because they have suffered alike, the various enter- tainments, etc., the tine passes pleasantly."' Is the treatment hurtful ?" "No, on ,the contrary, it benefits the patient in every respeet. There has never een a single instance in which any pereon as injured by it." " Is it not said to injure the eye sight ?" "Instead of hurting the eyes, instances ere of frequent occurrence where patients *he have used glasses have discarded them after treatment." "Is it not charged that sexuality is dis- turbed ?" This charge is absolutely unfounded. The home life of every Keeley Graduate Will testify to the truth. We will be pleased to send literature to any person_sending name and address to the Keeley Institute, corner Tenth street south and Park avenue, Minneapolis,Minn." • Things Worth Knowing. Brown eyes are said by oculists to be the strongest. Bread or vegetables sbould never be kept in broth, or tbey will seedily turn it sour. Morning lassitude and headache are us. tally caused by want of proper ventilation in the bedroom. Eyes placed close together in the head are said to indicate a pettishness of dis- position, jealousy, and a turn for fault-find. iu. To prevent rugs from curling at the corn- ers bind them on the inder edge with a piece of narrow webbi g like that used to hold furniture springs i4 place. A stair -carpet should never be awept down with a long broom, but always with a short -handled brush and a dust -pan, which must be held closely under each step. For young, delicate children sleep is the the greatest benefactor, as it strengthens the nervous system. They should go to bed early, and their room should be well airectSentiets have discovered that the mem- ory is stronger in summer than in winter. Among the worst foes of the memory are too much food, too much physical exercise, and, strangely enough, too much education. Many a child dies even after a mild at- tack of scarlet fever, and after the parents suppose the danger in well past. During the convalescence from this disease the eafety of the child requires a prolonged con- finement to the sick -chamber. All the cosmetics, all the -massage in the world, an do nothing for our widnkles as so long as we keep their cause active. The sullen woman may employ the moat skilful aid money can procure, but unlees she mends her temper she would as well throw her money away. Those who have tried the experiment affirm that a large sponge hung in the room at night or in the daytime, if it can be be- hind a convenient screen, and kept constant- ly wet, will greatly assist in keeping the room cool, or a cloth hung in the window over the blind will cool the room as if a shower had fallen. Apples for winter use should be sliced as for a tart—that is, peeled and cored. Lay these chips on a clean white paper in a cool oven to dry gradually, and when this is done they may be kept between layers of paper in a tin box. When required for use soak them in water till soft and they will be found to retain their flavor wonderfully. De not allow your. child to suck its thumb, for this is an ugly habit aud leads to serious injuries in several ways. To begin with, it causes protruding and badly -shaped litnorAnd even presses the upper jaw out of shape in some cases. It iestroys the con- tour of the thumb, and worse still, deforms the' -cheat.. Children who persevere in this habit keep the arm very long in one posi- tion, and its weight on the thorax causes a depression on the ribs, which diminishes the lung capacity.
