From, the Recorder, Brockville, Ont.
Rev. R. Hackett, • general agent of the
African Methediet church in Canada, spent
wend days in Brookville recently, in the
interests of thee:rhumb work. Talking with
a reporter he said he always lilted to. visit
Brockville, because he found 'Dimwit, of the
citizens in hearty sympathy with the church
work he represents. "And betides," said
Mr. Flatirhette "I have what may be call-
ed a sentimental reinon for likieg Brook
It is tbe home of a medicine thee has
done_me much good, and has done much
good to other members ot my family. I
refer to Dr. Williams' nide Pill."
Would you mind," asked the reporter,
"giving your experience with Dr. Wil.
hams' Pink Pills "Not at all," said
Mr. Hatched. "1 always may a good
word for this medicine whenever the op-
portunity offera. I know some people ob-
ject to speaking in publio about enedieines
they use, but I think this is a nerrovr view
to take. When one findiesomething really
good and really helpful in relieving human
ills, it seems to me it is a duty we owe
other sufferers to put them in ; the way of
obteining new health. You _eau say from
me- therefor that I, think Dr. Williame'
Pink Pills a very tuperior medicine -I
know ot no'other tot good. My work, as
you nay judge, is by no meane light,I have
to travel a great deal in the interests of our
church woileand it is no wonder that often
I find myself much run down, and efilioted
almost with &general prostration. lt is on
ocessioes of this kind that I refer to Dr.
Williams' Pink Pale, and I 'can say in all
sincerity that they have never failed me.
Tho Ohs have also been used in my family
and among my frieuds, and the results have

say from me that I think threes who are
afflicted with any Of the ills for which thie
medicine is recommended will make no
mistake in giving Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
a trial.'

The Chief Weeds in Clover and
Timothy.
(Written for The Expositor.)
The epreaff of ntetious weeds can
be attributed to BO single eause.
They seem to be naturally adapted
to rapid spreadrig, and besides there
are various natural and artificial
agencies which aid in their dissem-
ination, Not the least important
among these agencies is the seed
grain trade. Almost every farmer
purchases yearly seed. of grain or
grasses and clovers with little
thought of introducing weed seeds
. in this way. As a matter of fact,
however he seldom gets seed perfect-
ly free from weed seeds of some
kind. Occasionally, these are not
particularly injurious, but frequent-
ly, they are most undesirable, and,
being introduced unconsciously, gain
a, strong foothold before their pres-
ence is suspected. In this connection
some particulars of the analysis of
seeds from the Department of Agri-
oulture at Ottawa, should be of in-
terest as they show to what extent
these conditions prevail.
Of over two hundred samples of
Timothy analysed during 1903 only
four had no weed seeds in them, in
the others over 30 diffferent kinds
of weed seeds were represented. Of
these Cinquefoil, Peppergress, Sheep
Sorrel, Ribgrass, False .rlax, Lamb's
Quarters, Canada Thistle and White
Cockle were most cominonty present,
often at the rate of several thousand
per pound. In Red Clover and Aisike
of each of which there. were sever-
al hundred samples. anelysed, there
were upwards of forty species of
weed etteds, those being commoneet
whose size approxinaated that of the
clover seed. Those in Red Clover
were commonly found Curled Dock,
Canada Thistle, White Cookie and
Itibdrass ; while in Alsike, False
Flax White Coekle, Sheep Sorrel,
Cinquefoil and Black Medick were
prevalent.
The, primary cause for this pre-
vailing condition is no doubt the
growth of weeds with the crop foe -
seed, and the tendeney of farmers to
buy imp rope•rly gleaned seeds becausi.
they are cheaper than, and to a cas-
ual examiner, equally ae good as
dearer grades. It is usually safe to
regard cheep seeds as of inferior
quality and on this account to avoid
buying it.
Dodder was present in twelve sam-
ples of Red Clover at an average rate
of t18 seeds per pound; this is con-
siderably more than was the case a
year ago and was DO doubt due to
more seed. being imported from the
sou t tr where this paresite thrives
much better than here. The analysis
of several samples obtained from
Chili shoided that Dodder is a very
common impurity in seed from that
country, one sample having upwards
of eeven hundred seeds a pound and
others' somewhat less. There ie no •
probability of Canada ever having to
import teed from Chili, but as both
countries have a common market for
their eurdlus supply, the presence of
this dmrairity in the Chilian seed
should afitord the Canadian product
a considerable advantage. Were it
not for this cirsumsta.nce tire Chili=
Red Clover Seed would prove a Slan-
e gerous' competitor, as it is well col-
ored,. plum.p and of high vitality,
and with few other objectionable
impurit ies.
Several samples of exported. Can-
adian Atsike and Red Clover were, ob-
tained from English seed merchants.
All these show -ed a uniform quality,
none et them free from weed seeds
but had, apparently been well clean-
ed as there was a notable absence of
such impurities, as light seeds, chaff.
or weed seeds either lagger or smal-
lee than the bulk of the sample.
Srnall numbers of Cockle, Black Med-
ick, and False Flax still remained in
the Alsike, and of Foitail and Rib -
grass in the Red Clover. The ger-
mination was uniformly over ninety
per cent. The average quality wet
therefore considerably better- than
that of the seeds retailed in our twin
markets. It should always be rememe
bered, however, by buyers that,while
the average quality of our seeds may
be low, the highest grades are al-
ways offered for sale, and this qual-
ify, is in the end the most profitable.

Unrker's first ldinner party at Simla.
Dosirotte of haying a pretty table, Lady
Barker had herself expended much
cue° in decorating it. She bad just re-
celeed from Enrope certain dainty chi-
na figures andoniamental dishes and
faxranged a tempting show of
anreetmeats, ft was and fruit. When
*ening time • Lady Barker charg-
ed her saran tobe on the watch and
take care of everything; but something
of intereat occ red outside, and every
servant left th room, quite forgetting
to' close the n window. 'Before -this
Window was big tree on wbich sat
several, monk ye which had 'waterbed
the 'preparations for dinner with much
intoner, A haif hour later the hostess
appeared, y to receive her guest,.
Just to be su e that everything was
right she gave a glance into the dining
reran. There he beheld a busy com-
pany of monk is hard at work, grin-
ning and Jab erieg, their cheeks and
arms ceamm with expensive sWeet-
Meath, While the table presented a
scene of frigh _devastation -broken
glass and chin , fair linen soiled, every-
thing tossed spout in hopeless confu-
sion. From this wreck she had to turn
aside and wel ome her guests with as
much ease of is anner as -possible. Din-

WHALES AS THEY DIVE.
Sorssethini.,; Aborts the Iiabits of the
Ocean Monsters,
Both whalers and naturalists bave
usually held that when whales "so-und"
they descend to great depths, says
Knowledge. One writer on the subject
estimates that the larger members of
the group dive fully a thousand yards.
in a memoir published in Belgium Dr.
Racovitza challenges this , belief and
states that in his opinion 100 yards is
the maximum depth to which any
wbale can dive and that many species
cannot reach anything like that limit
Says the writer:
Why should -whales want to go to
such depths? All whales sound for the
purpose of obtaining food, and in the
profound darkness of 1,000 yards what
food could they get? Those species
whieb feed on animalcules miglit, per-
haps. obtain what they want But how
about the imeeles which feed on fishes
and cuttles? At a depth of 1,000 yards
they certainly could not use their eyes
to detect nonlumlnous species, and we
have evidence whatever that they
feed on the self luminous deep sea fish
and euttles, if, indeed, there be any of
the latter. On the contrareethe available
evidence indicates that they teed on
ordinary light dwelling fishes and cut-
tles which live In much shallower
zones. But this is not all. It is known
that the effects of a pressure of more
than three atmospheres prove fatal to

COLD WAVES.
They Purify the Atmosphere and
Benefit the Human System.
The cold wave, so much dreaded by
most people, is really a blessing in dis-
guise. It cbarges the atmosphere with
fresh oxygen and a surplus of free
electricity, which procluces. a most ex-
hilarating and beneficial effect upon
mankind. Torpid energlem are aroused,
physical vigor and resistance increased,
by the advent of a cold wave to such
an extent that any incidental damage
is more than made up for.
The American climate has always
been recognized as a strong factor in
causing the aggressiveness and enter-
prise which have lifted our people into
the first rank among nations and made
us comroercially supreme. The cold
wave, with its results of increased en-
ergy and Vigor, is a meteorological phe-
nomenon peculiar to this country. Tire
chief of the weather bureau at Wash-
ington explains the origin of this wave.
It appears that with a high pressure
system, rotating with great velocity,
large volumes of cold air are drawn
down from above the clouds, so that
the cold wave is "homemade," being
simply a product of motion. The sys-
tem of motion originates in the north-
west, brit the cold air comes front
above the clouds.
The cold wave is not only useful for
its beneficial effect upon the human
system, betters a cleansing and purify-
ing agency. It dissipates the deadly
carbonic add gas, the product of resel.
ration and combustion, and the foul ef-
fiuvia of decaying matter, iucreasing
atmospheric circulation generally end
thereby relieving stagnation -

It le one of the easiest things In the'

object will give you an idea as to the
amount of clay or sand there is in the
water. Then pour out one-half the wa-

hours. Itemove the cork and smell the
air in the bottle. If there is an offen-
