D. 1:1'..lifuuro occupied the chair very' ac cept$bly, the speakers being the midi.' date "and Messrs. Dr. Freeborn of Clinton, Leitch of Cornwall, and Haw- kins of Brantford. M. G. Cameron and D. McGillicuddy put in an appear- ance on behalf of M. C. Cameron, but refused to take half an hour and left the meeting. The gathering was decidedly in favor of Mr. McLean. Laurieris holding meetings in On- tario which are largely attended, but the pulse of the people will cry out against Grit ruin and destruction on the 23rd of June. The necessities of this young and prosperous country cannot alto w a gang of bigots, con- spirators and sharks to ruin our grand and glorious prospects during the next five years. The Conservative party an d progress will win. There is no dispute about the atti- tude of Dalton McCarthy. He said this the other day at Barrie :-- I see by the public press that I have formed a nefarious bargain or compact with the Liberals and Patrons to expel and destroy the government. I do not think that for months past any person has had the slightest doubt as to what my desire has been. I want the destruction of the government. One stock argument of the Grits is that Mr. McLean is no speaker. For a beginner, however, he is doing well, and we are sure when he does speak in Parliament he will not untrythfully state that a whole municipality in West Huron was disfranchised. Any- how, our late member got Over $1,000 for two speeches, a pretty large sura to pay for two common jury pleadiugs, for that's all they were. THE NEWS -RECORD has been inform- ed that Mr. Kilty denies he is a Mc- Carthy candidate, that he only sup- ports McCarthy on one or two points. All we know of his platform is that Mr. Kilty declared in this office not many days since that he was "a Mc- Carthyite out and out," and that "it did not matter," he said when discuss- ing the trade question, "how the re- venue was raised, as it had to he raised, anyhow." If he is not a McCa;thyite he is simply trim- ming on the great questions of the day. The convention at which he was nom- inated was advertised as a McCarthy convention and this same convention nominated him. Our friends should be on their guard for roar backs. No candidate should be allowed to stand on half a dozen platforms, or allow their votes to be cast directly or in• directly for the Grit French Roman Catholic Laurier. Free Trade as it is in England would not raise the price of land, for by, a circular recently issued by a land agent and published in "The Farmer of Eng-, land," land can be rented for five shil- lings per acre, and bought for seven pounds. This means that agricultural lands that twenty years since sold for $150.00 and rented for $4.00 per acre can now he bought for $34.00 and rent- ed for $1.20 per acre. Now we are not thorougly conversant with the price of land in Hullett, Colborne, Tucker - smith, Stanley and Goderich township, hut we are sure there are very few farmers residing in there who would he pleased if they were forced to rent or sell at such prices. But, as the Globe says, if we had Free Trade as they have it in England two years would not elapse before farms would drop in value as they have in the old land and owners would be glad to sell at less than half the present value. The political situation in West Huron is unchanged. There are three candi- dates in the field, the third being Mr. Kitty as a McCarthyite. He has been in the field and cut of the Held—and again in the field, the last time because some of his false friends forced hirn in and because he made ita condition that enough money would be put up to save his $20() deposit and pay part of his expenses. Four men have put up, we are told, $1(X) each, and the rank and file have liberally subscribed $65 in all. In addition to this a personal house to house canvass has been made without any encouraging result. If all this money was put along with M. C. Cameron's Noodle fund raised by the Grit party and either one retire, what a glorious victory Lnurier would rejoice over. Conservatives, do not allow Laurier, McCarthy & Co. to lead you astray. • The Grit press in reporting the Grand Orange Lodge, as Tun NEwS- REcoRD said last week, has not been truthful. The Montreal Witness is one of the greatest sinners in this respect, and the sin is all the greater from the fact that it has been followed by the lesser lights. A good Grit the other day made the statement to the writer that the Grand Master had been elected by an overwhelming majority, but afterward had to acknowledge that he was "talking the ridiculous when he learned there was no majority to record from the fact there was no. opposition --if there had been the Grand Master would positively have been defeated. The Montreal Witnees is a religious paper, and ptrofesses to speak the truth and shame the devil, but he does not hesitate to deliberately circulate lies and deception about Orangemen in order to divide the members and create dissension in the ranks. That paper and its French Roman Catholic followers in Ontario, among Which must be included all Me- Carthrites, stated that the Grand Sec- retary was sustained onlyby 13 major. Ity. This is a premeditaed and deli&= orate falsehood and only goes to allow how far the Grits are willing to go td help their party. The only straight teat was the latter election, and if we are to judge from the result, Mr. M Laurier, c'Jarthy and the whole. cow- bination will continue in opposition at least for the next five years. Deliber- ate misrepresentation will not help any cause. The Secretary had about double the majority the Grits give credit for. t. Thh-Piber9 a prat ePidr that . bbo tar) - per adnriutstratlpp did wrong in trying to pass the Remedial Bill, and the Globe and the small fry of that ilk, were always. praising the men w o forsook their party and sot ed against it. To -day, however, what do we see, why theee hyp- ocrites ,are contesting seats held by these ramp men. t3,uch conduct ought surely to open the eyes of honest Con- servatives throughout Ontario. Our attention has beer} directed to a leader in a recent Signal, in which a statement, said to be a fac simile of one rnade and eigned b.y the Conserva- tive Candidate at the late election is printed. We do not know whether it is true or not, neither do we care, our purpose being to show the chican- ery and fraud of the honest men who had the handling of it. According to Grit statements such a paper was ob- tained to satisfy some P.P.A.'s so that a candidate of the party should not run. Now when such a paper was ob- tained (if it was) it was for the satis- faction of that society, but Instead of it being placed before that body it was kept out of sight and taken to Ash- feld by Christian grit protestants and hawked all around Kings- bridge on the Sunday before the elec- tion, where it was shown to nearly every Catholic in the neighborhood. Can any decent Liberal approve of such dastardly conduct. ? VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT. Organizing the .Carrying Out of a Move- ment for the Betterment of Towns. John Gilmer Speed writes upon how to organize and conduct a Village Im- provement Societly In the Ladles' Home Journal. He prefaces his paper with the assertion that the "future prosperity of the country village de- pends, in a great measure, upon its suitability for the summer resldence of those who prefer, at that season, to leave the hot and crowded cities," and argues further that "a Village. Improvement Society should be a pure democracy, and within its membership it should embrace every man and wo- man of good repute in the neighbor- hood, and besides this there should be established an auxiliary league of children. This league should be asked, and urged, and instructed, to assist the main society. Such societies are usually supported by fees and dues. This is very well in a village where the majority of the people are quite prosperous and usually have a store of ready money at their disposal. But even In such places I prefer the me- thod of supporting the society by pure- ly voluntary subscriptions of money, labor and material. Labor is just as good as money, and is given much more freely by all save those that are rich. After canvassing the matter Mr. Speed suggests a public meeting, to be addressed by some one familiar with the details of the work, preceding pre- liminary organization, and the adop- tion of a constitution Permanent of- ficers and committees should be nam- ed at the first meeting, and preceding the second one the first labor day should be observed. "On that'day all the men and teams in the village should congregate to work under the direction of the executive committee, and the ladles of the society should provide a picnic, luncheon for the workers that day. In some untidy villages the whole of the first labor day might be given to cleaning up: In others the sidewalks might be put in better order, or pieces of new side- walk constructed; In nearly every vil- lage it woull be a good thing to put the grounds and fences of the public schoolhouse, in order. But there are always ery obvious needs everywhere before the advent of the village im- prover. But what is done that day should be done with some thorough- ness, and the noondayluncheon Is apt to Invest the day with some of the characteristics of a festival. What 1s done will he discussed in every house of the village, and the achievements will inspire confidence or provoke criti- cism." Diet In Dyspepvtn. The great thing to restore the dys- peptic to health is the choice of pro- per liet. Individual Idiosyncrasies here play such an important part that It Is impossible to lay down any hard- and-fast rules whereby diet may be regulated. Obstinate oases of indiges- tion may demand a rigid adherence to a milk diet. This often means a hard struggle; but by diluting the milk onethird with vlohy or soda water, or by adding five or ten grains of bicar- bonate of soda or a pinch of salt to each tumblerful, the difficulties will be moderate. In many cages skimmed milk Is better borne than that with the cream. Buttermilk is useful for a change. Indeed, It Is much lauded by Garman physicians In the treatment of dyspepsia, one of whom says : "When the patient Is hungry let him eat buttermilk; when he Is thirsty, let him drink buttermilk." Patients tire of buttermilk more readily than they do of sweet milk, however, and It Is rarely that one will consent to use It long. When milk in any form is the only food, It ehould be taken in quanti- ties of six to eight ounces (about half a pint) every three hours. One thing. to be borne In mind In taking milk is that it should be treated as food, and a not as a. drink, hence it should be sip- ped very slowly.—Popular Science News. Currier Bees. Everyone knows of the carrier ptg- eoits, but very few people know any- thing about the tiny carrier bees. It re quite a new thing to think of using bees for such purposes, and has been but lately put into practice. The Idea originated in France, and it is a Frenchman, M. Ta,gnee, a prominent agriculturist, to whom the world Is indebted for the first experiments in this direction. He constructed a port- able bee hive, which he took to a friend four miles away. There the bees were allowed to remain undisturbed for a few days that they might become aeeustomed to their new quarters. Some of them were removed to a re- ceiver, and the experiment tried. A few of the bees were let loose from the receiver in a room and allowed to settle on a plate of honey prepared for thpm. While loading themselves with Its" sweets, M. Tagnee fastened to ern pieced of very thin paper writ- ten upon in minute characters. They were fastened on by means of flne thread and in such a manner as not to touch the insects' heads or wings. The messages thus attached, the bees were set free, and at once returned to their old home. TRU$T: IA, picture 'memory brings to me— look across the years and see Aileen belll)le Wy leetber'et knee.

The Cost of Disposing of the Big City Wastes. Beyond t'he small sewage filtration plants In use In some New England towns the majority of cities in this country allow the wastes of the com- munity to pollute the water courses. London, like all the other big Euro- pean cities, treats all its sewage, the average quantity treated at the two chemical precipitation plants connected with the sewage system, of the city be- ing nearly 250,000,000 gallons a day In 1895. Some interestng facts regardng the operation of these works are present- ed In a report on this subpect by Mr. A. Be Blnnie, chief engineer to the London County Council. The total quantity of sewage treated during 1895 was 89,830,300,000 gallons, an increase of 1.08 per cent. over the ear 1894. The chemicals used were 48,- 959,000 pounds, or 3.8 grans per gallon of lime, and 11,277,280 pounds, or .88 grains per gallon of protosulphate aC iron. The total amount of sludge pro- duced was 2,169,000 long tons, or 4,- 858,650,000 pounds, which is about 5,400 pounds per 1,000,000 gallons. The aver- age amount of moisture in the sludge was 91.42 per cent. The total cost of the two chemical gerecipttatfon ipla'rrts and the sludge ships used to convey the sludge- to sea, has been $4,728,770, of which $662,322 was for the ships. The fixed charges on this capital account in 1895 amount- ed to $248,000, and' the operating ex- penses were *507,000, making a total of $765,000. This is equivalent to $8.40 per 1,000,000 gallons for all charges and V1.64 for operating expenses alone. For precipitation expenses only the operating expenses were $2.98, and for eludge disposal $1.66 per 1,000,000 gal- lons of sewage treated. These totals for operating expenses are slightly in- creased by some experiments with fil- tering the effluent from the predpitat- ing tanks. Slx sludge ships were in use, carry- ing an average of 1,000 long tons each, the fleet making 2,169 trips about 50 miles In length. Tbe cost of transport- ing the sludge to sea was 3.48 pence, or 6.75 cents per Song ton, which is .135 cents per ton -mile for the distance hauled out, or half that sum If the return trip Is included in the distance, ra In the Dead of Night. It may be a little trying to a tired father or mother to be awakened in the dead of night by a fretful little young- ster, who Insists that he "wants a jlnk," and you are apt to say some- thing harsh and impatient to the little lad or lassie when the water has been brought. It is annoying to have the ba.by awak- en and cry for a full hour In the dead of night, when there is apparently "no earthly reason" why the child should do so. It Is hard to be gentle and pa- tient, and you are apt to say things that you do not mean. You may even be moved to give the child a shake or two, or even a slap, and you don't feel very sorry when this causes in- creased yells. You can he gentle and patient, perhaps, If you know ,that the little one Is really 111, but even then it Is not easy to get up in the dead of night, and you are ready to confess that children are a great care. You think that you wouldn't mind the trouble they make In the daytime if they would only be good at night. But there Is a trouble that some- times comes In the dead of night that tar outweighs the trouble the baby may have given you, It Is when the little crib In the corner of the room is empty. It 1s when the little voice that once awakened you In the dead of night awakens you no more, because the baby lips are closed In death. This le a trouble so real, so genuine, so grievous that your pillow is wet with tears as you ile in the darkness and %tie less, thinking of the little one that will trouble you no more In this life. Your heart aches and your empty arms long for the child that once tmu- bled you so In the dead of night. A Spanish Dish. Some very odd but delicious cooking Is done among the Spanish families of San Franclsoo. Here is --a receipt that will be found piquant and appetizing: Heat an earthen dish over a moderate fire and melt 4n It a good-sized piece of butter; add a. small onion, minced parsley and as much minced Chili pep- per, or a tablespoonful of sweet pepper; break the eggs one by one into the boiling butter and turn them as soon as they are set, using great care not to break the yolks. Serve very hot in the same dish, which may be placed lnslde of one of silver, The Whistling Tree. A specles of acacia, which grows very abundantly In Nubia and the 6oudan, Is also called the "whistling tree," by the natives. Its shoots are frequently, by the agency of the larvae of insects, distorted In shape and swol- len into a globular bladder from one to two ,inches In diameter. After the tnaeot has emerged from a circular hole in the side of this swelling, the open- ing, played upon by the Wind, becomes a musical instrument, nearly equal In sound to a sweet -toned flute. Odors. From Cooking. A lump of bread about the else of a billiard ball, tied up In a linen bag and placed In the pot in which greens are boiling will absorb the gases which oftentimes send such an unpleasant odor to the regions above. Or put one or two red peppers or a few pieces of charcoal into a pot where hatn, Cab- bage, etc.. are boiling, and the house will not be filled with the offensive odor, Bicycles and.

Well, if reports are true success in West Huron means a lift for the New Era if the Gritets elected, and the Liberals believe this is assured if Kilty remains in the field. WeII, it may be asked bow will the New Era gain. Well, the plan is this, if West Huron is carried and Laurier wins, Cameron is to be made Lieut, -Governor of Ontar- io, but if Laurier don't then the Registrarship Will be the prize. Thus It will be seen there will be an- other chance Por otic town cotem., for if Cameron is made Lieut. -Governor then the New Era and Signal will di- vide the Riding and the Registrarship between theta, but if the gentleman heli to take the Registrarship, then the fre'v aper mon will make a big tight for the convention with chances In favor of the Goderich oracle.

The Grit sheets all over are talking about goyernment ex- penditure hut it must not be - forgotten that a large amount of the national debt has been piled up by extra elections caused by the un- seating of Liberals for bribery and eor- ruption. In this line West Huron hes kept up with the McShanes and a host of other leading lights of the party. We ase induced to mention this point because it is rumoured that if the Lib- eral candidate should get the seat he will resign shortly afterwards to ac- cept the Registrarship of Huron, thus adding anotber seven hundred to .the country's burden.
