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.

On the night of t e 8th of November, 180, Mr. Irwin as in charge of the guard in wait - i g for the event to fire the Royal salute,and after an almost all-night suit,theRo salute was boomed 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.

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 human life; and, Although we may be- lieve that whales can stand treble this pressure. or nine atmospheres. which would occur at about ninety ynrds' depth, IS it conceivable that they could resist the effect of ten times the hitter pressure, or ninety atmospheres? More- over, does it seen) possible that a whale whose body is only slightly heavier thiel water at ordinary pressure multi exert the muscular force necessary to propel that body to a depth of 1,000 yards? 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 - A Water -1,est„ It le one of the easiest things In the' world to tell pnre water fzem the im- pure.
