HAVE you been amok• ing a good deal lately and feel an occasional twinge of pain round yourhearl Are you short of breath, nerves unhinged, sensa• tion of pins and needles going through your arm and fingers? Better take a box or two of Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills and get cured before things become too serious, Hero's what Mr. John James, of Caledonia, Ont., has to say about them: "I have had serious he a r t trouble for four years, cathed by excessive use of tobacco. At times my heart would beat very rapidly and then seemed to stop beating only to commence again with unnatural rapidity. "This unhealthy action of my heart caused shortness of breath, weakness and debility, I tried many medicines and spent a great deal of money but could not get any help. Last November, however, I read of a man, afflicted l4ke myself, being cured by Milburn's Heart and Nene Pills. I went to Roper's drug store and bought a box. When I had finished taking it I was so much better I bought another box and this completed the cure. My heart has not bothered me since, and I strongly recommend all sufferers from heart and nerve trouble, caused by excessive use of tobacco, to give Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills a fair and faithful trial."

A GERMAN BEER DUEL. ltignstte by Which the Honor of 8chulae and MVller Was Satisfied. The etiquette and procedure in the bloodless German beer duel are described in a recent number of the Berlin Borsen- courier. A fine song poured forth from strong lungs drives about violently the clouds of tobacco smoke lowering over the tables, but its harmonies cannot prevent discords among the guests. Two of these bring a long argument to a sudden end . by the loud utterance of the words: "Bierjunge." "I take you up." A long silence follows. The appointed referee arises. The barmaid or the waiter brings in two full beer mugs, and the cry resounda through the room: "Silentium, for a beer contest between the beer honorable fellows Schulze and Muller." The referee takes up the weapons brought in and by sipping carefully sees that the columns dP beer are at the same level in each mug. He then announces: "The-we¢ppons are good and equal. Si- lentiu p 1 'The beer duel begins. My com- mands will be: 'Lift, clink, exchange ms, seize mugs, go I' The decisive word all be, 'Hottentottenpotentatentanten- m terattentat.' " e combatants seize the mugs. The or.. ,9 are given and obeyed quickly. Aot the word'`Gol'1 the mugs fly to the lips. Schulze pours his beer with evident satis- faction down his throat, but Muller pre- fers to spill the stuff with impartiality ever his shirt front and waistcoat as well. Schulze shouts in triumph: " 1ottentottenpatentottentantenmatter- • ottentutel" Whereupon' the referee anneunoee icily, "Muller has shed blood and must be co8- sidered second in the race." Muller's defeat irritates him. He ap- peals instantly to a beer court, which, aft- er consuming a number of eggnoge, re- jects his appeal, condemns him to pay for the drinks and orders him to deliver with- in three beer minutes a beer speech on the text, "The immortality of June bugs and their importance iu the outcome of the Greco -Turkish war." The Western Bair. All things are ready for a most successful Fair. Entries are coming in now in large numbers, and before the 7th of beptember, the date of closing same, every department will be crowded to i•s fullest capacity. The interior arrangement of all the 'ex- hibition buildings have undergone a change which in itself will greatly add to the gen- eral.appearance of the exhibit. Tbe'-spedial features are all first-class, and while the names of two of the managers which appear in the programme have been engaged by the London management betore, the troupes under them now are entirely different and their preformanoes will be quite new. The fire works at the evening performances will excel all previous displays and the representation of the "Battle of Manilla Bay" will be very entertaining. The success of the "Art Loan" is already assured, as the ladies who are managing it have secured over a hundred select pictures from the leading private collections of Tor- onto, Hamilton, London, Clinton, Strath- roy and other places. The exhibition of Ladies' Work and Decorative Art is also superintended by them, and all will be far in advance of former years. Enclosed glass case] have been provided for this work and will greatly add to the quality and numbers of the exhibits. Among the collection of Art Loan Pictures we specially refer to two from the celebrated London artist, the late Paul Peer. The Secretary has still on band a num- ber of prize list and programmes that he will send free to aplicants. The Plebiscite Campaign 4........

X Mark your ballot thus The Temperance Column. A Dominion Battle The license law is a great curse to this nation. We need the shop, schools, churches, factories and offices, all these for the enlightenment, the comfort and the up -building of our people, but we have no need for the saloon. "The poison habits of a nation can be cured by an appeal to the intellect, through reason to the heart, through sympathy, and to the conscience, through the motives of religion. But the traffic in those poisons can be best controlled by law."—Francis Willard, "WOULD BE NO SALOONS. Rev Geo. D. Black, Minneapolis:—If our Christian people in this city were half as stalwart as they sometimes think they are, and if they had the moral vigor on this, the greatest of all questions, that they display on some trivial platters, there would he no sal- oons in Minneapolis. THE FIRST DAY. ..Francis Willard : --We Christians, when we unite our forces, are simply irresistible. Let us then, in the name of God and humanity, combine heart- ily against slavery, drunkenness, lust, gambling, ignorance. pauperism, Mor-, monism and war. After these victo- ries are won we will not have much difficulty in settling all our theological and ecclesiastical differences, and the glory of God, which is the happiness of men, will fill the whole earth. THE POTATO BUG AND THE SALOON. lemperance Cause:—liow would sa- loons injure my business ? Ask your- selves the question, how does the pee tato bug injure the potato crop ? and the answer will be: It sucks the life and substance from the vine and leaves a poor, impoverished and scant crops, where might have been, had it not been for the bug, a large crop of good potatoes. The same with saloons. 'They would eat up the money that once found its way to the shoe store, for comfortable footwear, and the re- sult wouldhe, business would be less active, and some who now go about with their feet well clad, would then be obliged to go almost bare-footed. SELLING A BIRTHRIGHT. Bishop Doane:—A thing may be le- galized, but it cannot be made right by any earthly law when it is wrong ac- cording to higher law. The sale of liquor on Sunday is worse than any other day, because the workman is then at leisure and the more subject to temptation, and because he has just received his week's wages. It is more perilous than the sale of dynamite or poison, because dynamite and poison are flagged, as it were, by the red flag of danger; but whiskey has no such danger signal. The laborer is selling his birthright of independence not for a mess of potage, but for a mug of beer ABSTINENCE AND WAGES. British Temperance Advocate:—Ab- stinence from strong drink would in- evitably result in an increased demand for necessaries and legitimate luxuries; this increased demand would mean in- creased production; increased produc- tion would mean increased wage -pay- ing, with a larger number of wage- earners, and those extra wage-earners would, in their turn, become increased consumers. So would the wage ag- gt•egate continue to rise until the whole area of available labor n ould be drawn upon in order to supply mutual wants, and thus would he reached the highest possible plane of universal comfort, so far as that comfort can be affected by the matter of wages.

Address World's 'Dispensary Medical Aaeootation, Buffalo, New York, ALLIANCE OFFICERS ON THE OUTCOME OF THE CAMPAIGN. Dr J. J. Maclaren, Q. C., chairman of the Dominion Alliance committee, having been asked by a number of re- presentative temperance workers to give his opinion of the effect of a pos- sible and much talked of prohibition reverse in the Province of Quebec, says: "Sir Wilfrid Laurier has made no stipulation that every province should give a majority, neither has the Dominion Parliament, or any person in authority at Ottawa. The Premier's action in submitting the question of prohibition to the people for a plebis- cite is logically connected with the previous resolutions of the House of Commons with respect to the question. Time and again," Dr Maclaren says, "parliament has passed resolutions at the instance of Mr Jamieson, Mr S. A. Fisher and Mr Flint, committing the House to the passage of a Dominion prohibitory measure whenever the country was demonstrated to be ready for it. The Liberal teovernment is merely carying out the spirit of those resolutions, and seeking to ascertain whether the country is now ready for the enactment of a prohibitory law. If any of the provinces should declare against prohihition,or if they should be even overwhelmingly arrayed against it, parliament might even then legally pass a prohibitory measure. In any case, however, the Dominion. Premier and'his colleagues are bound by no pledge to any individual province. The attitude of the Dominion Alliance as I understand it," added Dr Maclaren, "is that prohibition to be completely ef- fectual must embrace the entire Do- minion and the opposition of a single province; should there be such, would not alter the legal or the moral right of parliament to enact a prohibitory law for the whole Dominion. The vote was not being taken by provinces. The plebiscite was on precisely the same basis as a Dominion parliament- ary election. If the government had a majority of the whole country the fact that they failed to carry one or two provinces would not imply that they were defeated. In the same way this is an analogous case. This is a Dominion election and even if one nt two provinces should be found giving an adverse majority to prohibition that would not justify parliament in declining to enact a law in accordance with the will of substantial majority of the whole electorate." The Alliance secretary coincided with the views of the chairman of the executive, and also says: "The electors of the Dominion of Canada are called upon to say whether they desire the liquor traffic continued under local sanctiod or prohibited by a Dominion law. This question is asked by a par- liament that has unquestioned power to prohibit, and it must obey the he - hest,' of the electorate, for it is the electorate's creature and servant. The leader of the House of Commons has declared that the people's expressed will shall direct the government's ac- tion. We needed no such pledge. A Dominion majority vote in this contest means defeat, and destruction for the traffic in strong drink in Canada." The ministers of the church are es- pecially responsible for the active con. - science of the people on all moral ques- tions. They, of all others, reflect, en- ergize and control the sentiments of the community, and they ought to see and realize what God and humanity require at their hands on this most momentous question. The church should lead on moral questions, not be led: and the church must see that there is no other question so intimately con• netted with our moral responsibility as this. We cannot keep morals out of religion any more than we can keep the sun out of the solar system or wa- ter out of the ocean, and on this ques- tion of liquor selling it is not so much the want of knowledge as it is the want of moral courage. "I believe that prohibition will carry throughout Canada and I will vote and epeaak in its favor." The above words were uttered on Thursday by Mt Charles Thibeautt, Q, C., Waterloo, the famous French Conservative ora- tor and campaigner of a few years back. This is how Mr Thibeault sizes up the situation. He believes the Eng- lish speaking provinces will vote anti- liquor and also a a • good number of French-Canadians will vote the same way,and astill greater number will ab- sent themselves from the polls. "It is a great inistake," he seys, "to think that there is a widespread feeling in French Canada against prohibitory legislation." The contrary, he asserts, is the case. There is, he declares,more practical temperance in the province of Quebec than in Ontario, and this will be confirmed by anyone who will travel through the rural districts of both provinces. Of course, Mr Thie- boult states, the cities in all the prov- inces will likely vote against the mea- sure. "However I will vote and speak in favor of prohibition,"was the speak- er's concluding remark, and he vouch- safed the information that the prohib- itionists are rapidly organizing in the eastern towns. f General 14iles' Orders General Miles has issued a general order against the use of intoxicating liquors by the soldiers. "'I he history of other armies," he says, "has demon- strated that in hot climates abstinence from the use of intoxicating drink is essential to continued health and effi- ciency." He directs the attention of the officers to the use of light drinks, wines and beers, which are allowed at the posts, requires that the effects be carefully noted, and their use prohibit- ed if the welfare of the 'troops or the interests of the service require it. "In this most important hour .of the na- tion's history it is due the government from all those in its service that they should not only render the most earn- est efforts for its honor and welfare. but their full physical and intellectual force should be given to their public duties, uncontaminated by any indul- gences that shall dim, stultify, weaken or impair their faculties and strength in any particular." The same caution is due to those who are serving them- selves, their families and their kindred. If they would not fail in maintaining their awn honor, they must not con- taminate themselves "by any indul- gences that shall dim, stultify, weaken or impair their faculties and strength in any Particular." The marines of Cervei a s squadron were given liquor to stimulate their courage. The effect was that they pounded the sea with their shots, and not their -enemies. So it is in the battle of life. When I was Governor of Georgia, I determined never again to hold a pub- lic office until my state should make prohibition a public issue, and should need me to carry its banner to the front. That time came and I am here. —A. H. Uolquit.

He Felt Confident That the Report Would Prove Untrue. It Is the opinion of a veteran war corre- spondent that a good military commander never loses his head and has a very clear idea of how a battle should go because of tho way in which it is being fought in ac- cordance with prearranged plans. He re- lates numerous instances in support of his theory, and among them is this ono: "At the close of the first day's battle In the Wilderness Grant was sitting at his headquarters surrounded by his staff and several distinguished visitors. Suddenly there was a yell from the Sixth corps on the right, rapidly fired volleys were heard, and teams were seen hurrying to the rear. An excited officer rode up and announced that the right flank had been turned, that the enemy had massed their whole force to crush Sedgwick and that Shaler's bri- gade had been captured. Grant, who sat with his back to a tree whittling, never changed countenance nor dropped a stroke with his keen edged knife. " 'Shall I order a division of the Ninth oorps to support the Sixth?' asked Meade. " 'If you think best,' was Grant's reply. "The order was sent, and after several minutes Grant turned to Congressman Washburno, who was his guest, and said: 'I dop't believe that story. Warren has been fighting all day, and since midafter- noon Hancock has been hammering away. Lee simply hasn't had time nor oppor- tunity to mass his forces in front of Sedg- wick. We shall hear a different report. "Inside of half an hour an officer re- ported that the enemy had been repulsed on the right instead of having turned the flank, as at first reported. In all that time Grant had not changed hie position or ceased to whittle. But he was keeping up the thinking of a brainy man who knows his busineas. He had simply reasoned un- erringly from cause to effect, and ability 1,, do 11.is is iihsolutely requisite in every Yuucebsiui general,"—l)etrnit 1•ree Press. Raiser Wlihelat'e Alin In Lire.
