Diarrhoea, dysentery, colic and cholera infantum carry off thousands• of precious little lives every summer. The mother must be constantly on her guard to prevent these troubles or if they come .on suddenly to fight , them` go other medicine is of such aid to mothers during the hot sum- mer as is Baby's Own Tablets. They regulate the bowels and stomach, and an occasional dose given to the well child will prevent summer complaint, or if the trouble does come on sud- denly will banish it. The Tablets are gold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. LONDESBORO (Too late for last week.) Notes.-4Rev.

DISSERATION UPON A WELL- KNOWN PEST. Though for most parts of Ontaris the black fly season is over for the year, memories of it•are so fresh in in the. minds of many readers that a few remarks upon the subject may not appear archaic. We have re- cently read an interesting dissertat- ion on the black flu, which he has nicknamed a •pest, by Mr. Walter Collins O'Kane in the Boston Trans- cript. Mr. O'Kane traces the short but criminal career of the black fly from the time it is an innocent egg through the period when it is an am- phibious wriggler, then a pupa and 'Ken the mature fly: Mr. O'KanP holds no briefs for the black fly, es for some strange reason he neglects to say, but he holds that their are good and had black flies. The good ones are the males. They do not bite. They have an apparatus that looks as though it once were made for biting, but in the eourse of ev- olution it has lost this poy'er. Never- theless. we do not warm to the male. 'black fly, for we gather that it is indirectly responsible for the blood- sucking tendencies of its missus. If there is to be a defence offered for the female ly it might be gramed in those historic words,"I done it for the kiddies." The female does not bite, we understand, because of any mere appetite or Graving for human blond or the blood of some other an- imal. She does because she has found it impossible to lay her eggs unless stimulated to the exertion by a considerable slug of gore. The writer says,"Careful study and dis- section of black flies that had en- gprged with blood and similar stud- ies •of those that had not. disclosed• a.progressive gronth and maturity of eggs within those that had fed on blood and a lack of it within those that had not." So we learn that the female black fly bites merely to be able to bring into the world some hundreds of other black flies that will bite next Summer, or perhaps later on in the year. There is a plain reason for' her biting and existence generally, but' we find no excuse what ever for ,her shiftless mate. Wle learntw,, that When a female sometimes has an extra large cargo of eggs, one meal is often not suf- ficient. She wil'1 take her bite and retire to lay her eggs, and, alftee, laying a couple of hundred, will find it necessary to lay off and take some more nourishment before delivering the rest of them. One might look forward 'to the day'when all misquit- oes shall be destroyed. Over such great areas as the Panamo Canals zone they haye ,been practically ex- terminated and continue to retreat before the advance of civilization. If the stagnant water is either drain- ed away or covered with oil the mos- quitoes cannot come into the world. They can breathe only on stagnant water. But no such hope can be held out in regard to t he black fly. It does not breed in stagnant water, but in the swiftest running streams, and to abolish them it would appear necessary to abolish the streams as well. Says our authorities, `The larvae, or wrigglers, of the black fly live attached to smooth rocks or to al- , most any object 'just beneath rapidly flowing water. Where a mountain brook boils down over a boulder bed or where it flows swiftly in a thin sheet over a smooth, worn s'ide, in such places the larvae will be 1 abundant. But the streams of mea- d.,ws and of more level country breed millions as well. Here every grass blade that bends to lie just beneath the surface of the water may carry a dozen or a score of the wrigglers," The reason the larvae, or wrigglers, are deposited under water is be- cause it is from the water that they derive their nourishment, as they struggle up to bias ktlyhood. This food is supposed to consist of mi- croscopic portions of animal matter. When the fly is ready to lay its eggs they are deposited either just at the surface of the water or just beneath. The eggs must have moisture, for if • they dry out they soon lose their vi tuiity. Black flies have been observ- ed to actually go under water for a fraction of a second and deposit their eggs. We shall not detain you with a long history of the black fly's develope- ment, nor what probalbiy occupies its thoughts in the months that elapse from the time they are an egg until they become the proud possessors of eggs of their own. Sometimes the period does not occupy more than five weeks. Sometimes it consumes six months, but what happens to a black fly that is born in the fall we do not know. In the north, as a rule, we have two generations of black flies in a season. Further south they have four or five. Mr. O'Kane makes the sensible remark that there is only one certain protection from the flies, apart from moving out of their coun- try, that is to wear leathergloves and a net over the head. It may assn he necessary, unless one wears leg- gings, to tie the trousers over the ankle, for the flies are persistent crawlers. Lotions, as a rule, are not to be recommended. Sono of then) work on some flies. but none can be guaranteed to repel all of them. A choir boy stood on his head at Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire.Eng.,I recently, while parts of a will were read. The will was that of Edward Willies, a 17th century London mer- chant; who left almshouses and lands to the town with the stipulation that each year the beating of the bounds should be observed in this manner, the better to impress it on the rising gen- eration. Beer and jam rolls were formerly provided f or the boys who now receive money. STOdIACH TROUBLE DUE TO THIN BLOOD it Usually Disappears When the Blood is Made Rich and Red. Thin blood is one of the most com- mon' causes of stomach trouble. It affects the digestion very quickly. The glands that furnish the digestive fluids are diminished in their activity, the stomach muscles ate weakened and there is a loss of nerve force. In this state of health nothing will more quickly restore the appetite, digestion and normal nutrition than good, rich, red blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills act direct- ly on the blood, making it rich and red and this enriched blood streng- thens weak nerves, stimulates tired muscles, and awakens to normal ac- tivity the glands that supply the di- gestive fluids. This is shown 'by an improved appetite, and soon the effect of these blood enriching pills is evident throughout the whole sys-I tem. You find that what you eat sloes not distress you, and . that you are vigorous instead of irritable and listless. If your appetite is fickle, if you have any of the distressing pains and symptoms of indigestion, you should at once take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and profit by the better condition in which they will put your blood These pills are sold by all dealers in medicine, or you can get them by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2,60 from Tha Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. There 'le no roan loving to -46Y ?SIP, has actually been hanged, ,but ther,e`` are many 'records of, resusettatiota •after'•hangtdg, One of these belongs to the year 1264. Mme. de 8alsha* was con- demned to death for harboring thieves. She wits hanged and left suspended on the gallows from Mon- day Morning untll'sunrise on Thurs- day. Yet, on being taken down, she revived. Henry IiL granted her a pardop. - In 1660 an Oxford servant girl ws hanged for the murder of her child. When banded over to the doc- tors for dissection she revived. In- quiries were made as to her sensa- tions during buspenslon, but she re- snnmbered nothing, saying her re- vival was 'hist •Hkeo waking from a deep sleep. A housebreaker named Smith was 'tere-ed at Tyburn in 1705, and a re- p !(ve arrived after he had been e - LIB pend -d for fifteen minutes. On being taken down he revived. A man named William Duell had r !ars fate. He was hanged in Lon - doe In 1740, and was carried to "nrgeona' Hall to be anatomized. B_fore the doctors could start he came to life again. That ought to have won him another chance, but It did nota He was transported, a fate not always preferable. At Cork a man was hanged in 1767 for street robbery. On being taken demon he was hurried to a surgery, where an incision was made in his windpipe. He recovered so rapidly that he went to the theatre the same evening. After Fauntleroy, banker and forg- er, was executed In 1824, a rumor got about that he had escaped death by the insertion of a silver tube In his throat. This prevented strangu- lation, and he was restored to con- eciousness. There Is, however, no confirmation of this strange story. A prisoner was taken from Cardiff Prison and placed In the dock in London on a charge of murdering his wife. Till then he had never heard of her death, but before he could realize his positlon he was convicted and sentenced to death! Then he implored the warders and the governor to tell him the date of his wife's death. "My good man,"' said the governor, "you have only a short time to live. Don't worry about such a detail." Day after day, however, the pris- oner asked this question, until he got the answer. "But I was safe in prison on that date," he exclaimed. "Then why didu't you say so at the trial " •- "Because I was neither asked nor allowed to say anything." He was released. Prison Poets. Convjcts at Dartmoor have a weak- ness for breaking into verse, judg- ing by some of the experiences of the Rev. Clifford Rickards, who for twenty-fve years was chaplain at the famous prison. One Inmate, disliking the climate and his treatment In hospital, peti- tioned the Home Secretary in a num- ber of stanzas, which ran: In making my request. in poetry, sir, I hope you won't think I'm joking, For the greatest favor you canbestow Is to send me back to Woking. For In this damp and foggy place it's impossible ever to get better, So I humbly trust In addition to this You will grant ole a special letter. Then, describing his treatment: Like savage lions in this infirmary The officers about are walking To catch and report a dying poor man For the frivolous charge of talking, And when we go out from hospital Dur poor bodies they try to slaughter By laking our reports one at a time For which we get bread and water; For it's such cruel treatment That's made me what I am And brought me near the grave. So, in conclusion, right honorable sir, My removal I humbly crave. Rather than risk another poetio effusiorf; the glome Secretary sent him to Woking! But that some convicts are quite satisfied with their lot is evident from the following verses found writ- ten on the walls of a prison: 1 cannot take my walks ahroad— I'm under lock and key; And much the public I applaud For all their care of me. Not more than others I deserve, In fact much less than more; Yet. I have food while others starve Or beg from door to door. The lowest pauper in the street, Half naked, I behold, . While I am (lad from head to feet, And covered from the cold. Thousands there are who scarce can tell Where they may lay their head. But I've a warm end well -aired cell, A bath, gond books, and bed. While they are fed an workhouse fare, And grudged their sennty food. Three times a day -my meals I get, Sufficient, wholesome. good. Then to the British public— "Beall It" --- Who all our cares relieve; And while they treat us as they do They,Il never want for thieves. Expense No Object The profiteer's wife called on a epenialist to attend her husband, who complained of hunklnees in his throat, "•I think I might paint the throat. with nitrate of silver," said the doe! or. "Oh, doctor," said the devoted wife, "expense is n0 object; please use gold." The Opal. The opal shows Its exquisite colors best when warm, and dealers aware of thia peculiarity will hold an opal In the hand before showing It, In order to enhance its changing luster. 411.
