The Huron News-Record, 1894-05-30, Page 6fr Saved Her Life*, Mrs, C. J. Woorantmwn, of Worthaltrn, Texas, saved the life of her child by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. "One of my children had Croup. The case was attended by our physician, and was supposed to be well under control. One night I was startled by the child's hard breathing, and on going to it found it stran- gling It had nearly ceased to breathe. Realizing that the child's alarming condition hal become possible in spite of the medicines Siven, I reasoned that such remedies would be of no avail. Raving part of a bottle of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results, From the moment the Pectoral was given, the child's breathing• grew easier, and, in a short time, she was sleeping quietly and breathing naturally. Tho child is alive and well to -day, and I do not hesitate to say that Ayer's Cherry Pec- toral saved her life." AYER'S Cherry Pectoral Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowell, Mass.

The Mowat Government has hit on a new scheme for keeping itself in power. Like most of the other dodges adopted for this purpose, the scheme in (pies - tion is a gross violation of the spirit of the' maw. It is more. It is a breach of the letter of the taw and a sbandalous disregard of decency. By section 21 of the License Act the license commission- ers in any district are enabled to grant extensions for three months to ap- plicants whom they do not think lit to give a license for the year. It is ex- pressly provided, however, that this power shall not be made use of to ex- ceed the limit in the somber of licenses prescribed in the act. In defiance of this provision the license commission- ers, in many parts of the country are employing the authority given them to exceed the number allowed by haw. This is the way the scheme is work- ed. In Hamilton there were 95 licenses last year. By resolution of the city council these were reduced to 75. The license commissioners have granted (15, but have given the other 30 three • months extension. Now this is plainly illegal as the number allowed by law is only 75, and here are 95 men engag- ed in the traffic. Of course, the object is plain. Only ten of the thirteen can eventually receive licenses, but it will be uncertain fbr three months who are to be the ten fortunate men selected. Consequently the whole thirty will find it to their interest to fight like Trojans for the success of the go ern- ment in the coining election, each indi- vidual hoping thus 14) gain favor in the eyes of the commissioners who are his masters. In Peterborough the same game is played. The number of license -holder's last year was 24. This was reduced by resolution of the council to 18. The commissioners have only granted 5, leaving the remaining 10 in uncertain- ity as to which of them are to be ac- cepted and which rejected. [Similarly in Stratford 23 licenses have been in operation, which the council ordered by by-law to he reduced to 18. As else- where the commissioner's granted only 11 renewals and gave the other 12 three months' extension. ---Ed. Herald]. No greater scandal can be imagined than this method of granting licenses for the sale of liquor. The object of the licensing system is to promote public morals by the regulation of t, s traffic which, -while permissible, and in our opinion proper, is Liable to characteristic dangers and abuses. Instead of regarding it in this light Sir Oliver Mowat looks upon it as in- strumentality by wroth he may oppress Conservative license holders and com- pel them to support hien, or at all events prevent thein from taking any action against him, and by which he may corruptly and fraudulently pur- chase support, as we have shown he is doing by thesys'tem above outlined.

P., which Dr. Montagtae, M. P., exhib- ited JO the louse of Commons the other day. The ' speech for which these were the notes was delivered by Mr,. Mc(tarthy in the election campaign of 1834 in Iaaltliruand, in which Mr. Colter' and Mr. Merritt were the can- d dates, this being the only campaign in which M. McCarthy ever spoke in any election in that constituency. i When Mr. McCarthy, after Sir John Macdonald's death, stated publicly, practically that Sir John Macdonald awl sent hitii to that constituency to s.ty some strong things about the french -Canadians, Mr. ldack1utosh Oaten It1.' 1'. for Ottawa, and now 1Jieutenant-Governor of the NoI'th- w.+st territories) published 3a letter in which he pointed out that at the time Ole tipeech was delivered, and for many weeks previous, Sir John had been absent from the province of Ontario, and that, therefore, Mr. M -- Cattily nitrst, have received his inspira- tion elsewhere. 'When this letter was published a gentleman in Ontario who revered the memory of the dead leader, rand in whose hands these notes were, forwarded thein to a gentleman in Ottawa as a proof that Mr. McCarthy's inispration came not from Sir John Macdonald, but from Edward Farrel. SIR JOIL,V IIO!IIPS'ON'S MANLY COURSE. Liudmay Wardor. The recent attack on the Conservative government at Ottawa by prominent ltoluan Catholic members of the reform party, because. of Sit John '1'hom son's refusal t,i disallow the school law passed by the Legislative Assembly of the North West Territories, shows plainly that that wing of the Roman Catholic church which looks to Italy for government and direction in both spiritual and temporal affairs is greatly displeased with thu,staunch little prem- ier. It seems surprising that men can be found at this period of the Nvoi•1d'0 pro- gress to advocate the control of educa- tion or any portion of the temporal affairs of a people 'by priestcraft. .11 is (Well sad to see persons in spiritual matters surrendering their inuepend- euce of will to clericalism, when the true course is for each to hold himself alone responsible for Isis soul's salva- tion ; but it is infinitely worse when attempts are roach to bring temporal affairs under clerical direction. The ultra -montane romanists of the House of Commons bitterly arraigned Sir John Thompson for not departing from constitutional privilege and statute to please them. On .the other hand, a few, fortunately for the honor of protestantism, a very few fanatical Protestants are not slow to open eyes, ears and mouth to swallow every slur, insinuation or slander against that worthy statesman. The honest, thinking, solid farmers 'tnd townsmen, the true citizens of Canada, however, , view with great satisfaction the arraignment and abuse of Sir John by extreme ronlish and protestant bigots. It proves con- clusively that in standing to the con- stitntion and holding to the golden medium he is observing Canada's best interests. The man is weak who avius the applause of bigots, be they ronlish or non-I'oiniSh. Though understood to be an adherent of the Roman Catholic churchSirJohn Thompson has thoroughly satisfied the people of Canada that he refuses to introduce his theology into govern- ment and will yield to no species of bigotry or intolerance in his adminis- tration of government. That is exactly what honest Hien want. Good govern- ment, based on the mature wishes of the electorate and as embodied in the law and the constitution of the land is what the people demand, and it is ex- actly what Sir .john Thompson is giv- ing thein. To those who say "no Roman Catholic is worthy of trust,” we reply, give us statesmen who refuse to recognize citizens from the view -point of church membership, but who regard them as Canadians, loyal British subjects, and good government is assured. To that class- of statesmen Sir John Thompson belongs. • CURRENT TOPICS'. "The Mowat policy is the same as the Patrons, EXCEPT one plank,” quoth the New Era. This is not a very honest statement. The more sensible explana- tion would be to give . reasons why Sir Oliver opposed the Patrons in Bruce ? why the Patrons are opposing Sir Oliver in North Oxford ? why Sir Oliver is opposing the. Patrons in the Hartle Riding ? why the Patrons are opposing the Government in East and West Huron? These are nets to crack which the Clinton New Era is not honest enough to explain, and which that paper will not explain. The Patrons know the wide chasm between the two platforms. Mr, Pullman, the millionaire palace ear builder, has been telling an Ameri- can reporter how it feels to be very rich. He said: "I believe I am no betteroff—certainlynot happier—than I was when I didn't have a dollar to my name and had to work from daylight until dark. I wore a good suit of cloth- ing then and I can only wear one now. I relished three meals a day then a good deal more than I do three meals a day now. I had fewer cares, I slept better and I may add generally that I b'lieve I was far happier in those days than I have been many times since I became a millionaire. And yet it is a comfortable fooling to be rich," Mr. Pullman's riches, it may he added, is put at $40,000,000. Mr. Beausoleil, M. P., is one of the Leading Liberal free traders who tollow Mr.' Laurier from the Province of Que- bec. Mr. ,Beausoleil is a free trader when he talks,, tut a protectionist when he acts.

PRESS OPINIONS. The Manitoba and Northwest Schools The Roman Catholic bishops of Can- ada have sent a "petition" to the Dominion government, demanding as a "right" the establishment. of Roman Catholic separate schools in Manitoba and the Northwest, and a share of the public school lands. And yet some people say there is no use for such an organization as the P. P. A. in this country. • If the Roman Catholic clergy could prove that the schools of Manitoba axe Protestant schools they ,would make out their whole ease. But that they cannot prove. That they have not even attempted to prove. They merely prove that the distinctive teachings of the Roman Catholic church are not imparted in them. It is true Roman Catholic prayers are forbidden its the public schools ; so are Church of England prayers, Pres- bytol•ian 1)t ,•rye rs and Methodist peayers. 1r the bishops Baan put their fingers upon one sentiment, in any prayer authorized to be used in the public schools which is repugnant or offensive to a sRonian Catholic, they will have made oat their case. But that they cannot do, and have never attempted to do. The law of Manitoba has been decid- ed by the highest judicial authority in the realm not to be in violation of the British North America act, nor of the Canadian act admitting Manitoba to the union. The . speech recently de- livered by Sit' John Thonrnson clearly proves that Rornan Cotholies have not been wronged by the school legislation of either Manitoba or the territories. And we do not think that the Domin- ion parliament will interfere'to nullify the legislation which has been declared to he within the powers of those legis- latures, or to grant special favors to Roman Catholics which Protestants do not enjoy. Rornan Catholics should have every right, every privilege, every safeguard which the law can give them, that other Canadians enjoy, but nothing more.—Hamilton Spectator. Poultry for Profit. By John J. Lenton. Oshawa. Thera is a small profit in eggs when they bring but 10 °nate a dozen; aud no profit at a11, rather a loss, when hens have to he fed all winter, with• out eggs, and then only produce a few dozen in the spring. When the eggs laid barely pay for the food eaten during that season, all the food eaten previously id a Loss. There is a regular ebb and flow of prices for eggs. The high tide is about the last of November and through January, and from that the price ebbs away steadily to about the first of May. Everybody's hens are laying then, and production is at its highest, consequently prices are at the lowest. Later. ou the supply gradually diminishes, and prices rise, the movement being facilitated by axles of fowls, to be served as "spring chicken" in the summer hotels, and the steady falling cff of the egg yield. In the fall the obi fowls are moulting, and are, almost without exception,, resting from their labor, so that unless there are puilets to lay, there are few eggs, hence the demand exceeds the supply, and the price reaches high tide again. A hen will consume a fraction over tifty cents, worth 'of food in a year. If she does not begin to lay until March, she will produce 1e88 than one hundred eggs, which must net her owner over a cent apiece to barely pay for her food and trouble. If she comes to laying maturity in October or November, she will lay vigorously all winter, if well housed and well cared for, and will give her owner, before moulting time, one hundred and fifty to one hundred and seventy-five eggs, which Can be sold al an average of nearly two ciente apiece, and pay a substantial profit. There in "a tide" in poultry raising, and that tido is early -hatched chickens and early -laying pullete. There is tho whole secret of it -in a few works; all the rest of the story is detail. We hear much complaint that "We couldn't hatch the chickens early; our hens wouldn't sit." That is one of the evila of late•laying birds. If they are got to lay in October, and kept laying, they will be broody enough in April, unless they are of the non sitting varieties; where as, if they don't begin to lay until March, they will bo late in brooding, because nature impels them to lay a goodly number of eggs before the brooding fever sets in. Get them lay• ing early, and early broodiness follows a8 a manor of course. Much can be done to further this plan by "selection." Choose only the early -laying and prolific.laying birds to breed from, putting them in a pen by themselves; and in two or three gonerationa you will have a strain of naturally early layers,. You have not to wait long for profits from our eeloc tion of early laying pullete. You get immediate returns in eggs within the year. Breed from them and no others, tho next spring; then kill off the old birds. It is a decided advantage in poultry raising that the profits begin to come in immediately.

They are all sin and fiber. 1f you want "a yellow cup of wine" buy small fruit; that is, fruit that runs 175 or 200 to the box, Weigh it in the hand and take the heaviest. Sweet, sound oranges are full of wine and sugar and very heavy. A thin, smooth skin is it „oocl sign. Wide, deep pored skins are un- mistakable signs of a course, spongy article. Bright yellow oranges usually cost more than russet, because they are prettier. When the commission mel'c:!)lLnt buys in a hurry he saves time by taking an orange between his hands and squeezing it to death. If it runs a cup of wine Ire takes as much of the cargo as he needs ; if it runs dry he cuts the price or refuses to trade. There is no surer way to. tell the real value of an orange, mandarin or grape fruit. A Thoughtful Husband. Ou his return home from a musical evening, at which hie young wife had been unable to be present, an amateur of some 'pilule reratked, with the touch of sentiment peculiar to newly• married men ;—"Sonny youweren't there, my dear; but you were seldom absent from my thoughts. Indeed, I always think of you while singing." "Do yon really 1" said the pleased wife, "and what did you sing tonight 1" "'Waft her, angels, to the skies,'" replied the tenor; and though tho frown that spread over his wife's face apolre Volumes, he Was quite unaware that he had said anything offenaive. V.-0 Recipe for a Good Husband. .A good husband, it has been wisely remarked, like the hare, must be caught before he in cooked. He can not alwaya be told at a glance, and sometimes he must be summered and wintered before his real character is discovered ; but it is safe to say that when caught he should be found to be composed of the following ingredients in suitable proportions :—Mother wit, good nature, gentleness, strength, man - !intros, purity, courage. But even when the full measure of some of these necessary qualities is lacking a very good husband can often be secured by a persistent use of the following re- cipe :— Wifely tact 10 parte. Wifely forbearance 10 parts. Wifely good•nature 10 parts. Good housekeeping .10 parts. Good cooking 10 parts. Wifely love 50 parts. There aro some brutes upon whom even such a precious mixture will be wasted, but they are very few; and a persistent application of it, morning, noon and night, for two years, is lvar• ranted, in nine cases out of ten, to make a roan and a gentleman out of very commonplace material. • DYSPEPSIA causes izzinessHead- ache, Constipation, Variable Appetite, Rising and Souring of Food, Palpita- tion of the Heart, Distress after Eat- ing.
