Gentlemen,—l; take great pleasure in
testifying to the merits of Dr. Chase'e K.

just what they are recommended for, and

handled. J. D. Tomer, Druggist.
One day recently as Mr C. W. An-
drews, of the C.P.R., was driving to
Wingham he met with a very unpleas-
ant experience. It seen5s that he
drove nis pony into Mr McEwen's
creek to let the pony drink, but when
he tried to drive it out again it refused
to go and began to "cut up," and Mrs
Andrews, who was with him, fearing
for her safety, jumped out onto the
bank, which she had hardly • reached
when a dog ran out from a neighbor-
ing yard and made a grab at her dress.
Mr Andrews made a jump from the
buggy to rescue her when his feet
caught in the lines and he fell on his
face in the mud. and water of the
creek. He soon scrambled. out none
the worse but a . dirty suit of clothes
and a little choked up with the water
in his nose.

RULER OF THE ROAD.—On all public roads
and streets owners of bicycles have the same
privileges that the owners of other vehioles
have. But according to an act passed by
the Ontario Leeislature at the last session,
1897,al1 vehioles, bioyolee included, moat
turn to the right when meeting or passing
eaoh other; and bioyolists must give half the
road, as in the ease of other vehicles. In
fact, a man who wheels a barrow on a pub-
lic road must give half of the road. In pit-
ies, towns and incorporated villages, how-
ever, the several councils may pass by-laws
prohibiting bicyclists from coursing or rid-
ing on sidewalks. And township counoila
may.pass restrictive measures with regard
to bioyoles if they become a nuisance on
theu ii
p b o highway. But at present the
bicycle is acknowledged as a public convey-
ance, and the riders thereof are entitled to
all the priveleges on streets and publio roads,
that the owners of other vehicles are—but
no more.

THE PEOPLE ARE CONVINCED
When they read the testimonials of cures
by Hood's Sarsaparilla. They are written
by honest men and women, and are plain,
straightforward statements of faots. The
people have confidence in Ilood'e Sarsapa-
rilla because they know it actually and per-
manently cures, oven when other medi-
cines fail.
HOOD'S PILLS are the only pills to
take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Easy and
yet efficient.

Arriving at the Gaiety one night late
from the racer Artb+r Roberta found on
his arrival at the theater the plaoe seeth-
ing with indignation. "Fetch me a black
silk wrapper," ho said while dressing. The
wrapper being brought, he proceeded to
form it into a sling, and, limping on to
the stags, faced the house. All eyes were
fixed on the sling and a cry of "Hush -ss -h1"
went round the house as the pale—pur-
posely so—tittle man Dame down to th@`,
footlights. -
"Ladies and gentlemen, I claim your in-
dulgence; an acoident in a cab. Forgive
me." Such cheers, such sympathy, that
the wicked fellow for once lost his bead,
and Dame en in the next act minus his
scarf and. limp! Stranger still, no one
noticed it. Roberts' accomplishments are
just what might be expected from so pecul-
iar a character. If they were not so orig-
inal, it is probable be would not be in re -
mixt of an in..me which is anything from,
£5,000 to 17, Ili per Anne -ilia.

"Certainly. Anything you like. If your

or take checks."
His one great sorrow, be tells me, is due
to his inability to persuade his family that
he is a funny fellow.
If he cracks a joke to his daughter, she
will say, "That's not bad for you, papal"
If he tries his humor on his son, the
youngster will retort, "Isn't it lucky for
us, dad, that the public is so easily gulled?"
While Mrs. Roberts, worst of all, disdains
all notice of his humor beyond saying,
"Do get on with your dinner, dear!" --

Nursing the Sick.
This is the title of a most valuable and
concise treatise on the art of nursing the
indisposed. It deals with nursing at home
ventilation of the sick room, bathing the
patient, arranging the bed, etc. It also
gives several recipes for liquid and solid
foods, and tells' the kinds that can be used
for the different diseases. It also enumer-
ates the several diseases in which special
nursing is a necessity, and explains in
plain words the directions for the perform-
ance of these offices. Altogether the book
is very handsomely gotten up, and is illus•
trated with a reproduction from photo-
graph of the Royal Victoria Hospital, Mon-
treal, on the cover, and interior views of the
hospital in the body of the book. The pub-
lishers, Messrs. Davie & Lawrence Co., Ltd.,
Montreal, will gladly mail this book to any
one sending them a one cent stamp.

West Huron Teachers'
The West Huron Teachers' A,ssooiation
met at Exete on Friday. The President,
S. J. Boyd, occupied the chair. Devotion•
al exercises were conducted by Inepeotor

then appointed: Resolution Committee—
Messrs Tom, Lo lthart, Gregory, and Misses

sent the resolutions, eto„df the Assooiation
to the local members of the Provincial
Legislature, that the views of the Assooia-
tion may be brought more directly to the
notice of the Minieter of Education, and
thereby ensure greater influence in shaping
the educational legislation of the province.
Inspector Tom then proceeded to discuss
Vocalization and Visibilization of the pho-
nic system. Mr Tom claim.d the follow-
ing as some of the chief advantages of the
phonic system, viz: (1) It provides the
children with means by which they can
help themselves, (2) It makes them more
independent from the beginning. (3) The
pupils do original work. (4) Observation
and reason are cultivated, and the work is
done by the children. (5) It cultivates
distinct articulation. (6) Itprevents con-
fusion by presenting but•one difficulty at a
time. The question was further discussed
by Messrs Dale, Delgaty and Boyd.
Mr F. R. Halls, M. A., of the Goderioh
Model School, read a carefully prepared pa -
paper on "The effects of P. S. training on
the general department of the ohildren.”
In the course of his address Mr Halls dwelt
particularly on the point that as children
are apt imitators, teachers cannot he too
careful of the example,they set in language
habits, and even dress.
Mr E. Simpson, Crediton, gave an able
address on "Nature Study for Pupils," and
which was well received. Several teachers
further discussed the sgbjeot, and Mr Simp-
son was requested to hand his paper to the
executive, to deal with as they saw fit.
Mrs Robb then' took "Reading with 3rd
class." The lesson assigned was "The
Farmer and the Fox." A class from the
Exeter Public Scnool made this lemon very
interesting, and much interest was mani-
fested in it. Several teachers fnrther dis-
cussed this class exercise, all expressing
their high appreciation of the manner in
which Mrs Robb took the work. and also
the manner in which the class acqnitted it-
self.
Mr J, A. Gregory then took up "Cana-
dian history in 3rd classes," and showed
by the manner in which he handled the
subject that this branch of school work re-
ceived careful attc,^.ticn in his school. A
number of teachers took part in the discus-
sion that followed, and expressed appre-
ciation of Mr Gregory a methods.
"P. S. L. Euclid" was dealt with by Mr
W. McKay, of Heneall. The subject was
discussed by several teachers.
Mr N. H. Anderson moved, seconded by
Mr Delgaty, that the hennaing of periodi-
calsbe dispensed with, and that each mem-
ber of the Association be furnished a copy
of the minutes of the O. T. A. instead; the
motion was referred to the resolution com-
mittee,
In the evening a very successful enter-
tainment was given in the Opera House.
"Sixty years a Queen—A Retrospect" was
discussed by five teachers. The Exeter
Male Quartette—Messrs Martin, Senior,
Popplestone and Roes, and Misses Hicks,
Johns, Dempsey Brown and Martin—ably
contributed the musical part of the pro-
gram. Mr S. J. Boyd performed the du-
ties of chairman very satisfactorily..
•On Saturday the Association met again,
when the election of officers was proceeded
with, and resulted as follows: Pres„ S. J,
Boyd, Belfast; V. P., Mies Kate Watson,
Goderich; Sec. -Tress., Mr G. W. Holman,
Seaforth; Executive Com., Messrs Hagen,
Dale, McKay, and Misses Burritt and E.
Watson.
The Sec.-Treas. was instructed to lay be-
fore the Association, at each meeting, a
copy of his annual 'report to the govern-
ment, re receipts and expenditures. The
'Secretary was instructed to get cards print-
ed, in compliance with the regulation of
1892 of the Education Department.
Mr Geo. Dale took the lesson "A little
stray away" with a second class. He gave
a splendid lesson, which was highly appre-
ciated by the teachers.
The next subject on the program, "Solq-
ing complex fractions," was ably discusted ,
by Mr C. H. Russell. This subject provid-
ed much discussion, which was taken part
in by several teachers. All expressed their
appreciation of Mr Russell's method.
Mr W. F. May,• of the Mitchell High
School, was present, and on invitation took
part in the discussion.
The Question Drawer was then opened,
and the questions answered by Messrs
Strang and Delgaty.
Mr A. McPherson, Usborne, exhibited
some ingenuous devices for teaohing men-
suration to junior classes. They included
cubes, eto,, and a miniature house com-
plete; the latter was used in teaching pap-
ering, carpeting, eto.
The Presidenread a very exhaustive re-
port of the proceedings cf the last Ontario
Teachers' Association, -to which Mr Boyd
was the delegate from West Huron. The
report contained an epitome of the chief
papers read.
Mr Boyd's report was accepted and the
expenses of the delegate to the O. T. A. paid
also the urinal fee to the Janitor. TheSeo'y-
Treas.' salary will remain as at present.
Mr Baird was appointed on the Resolution
Committee instead of Inspector Tom unable
to act, and Mr Gowan was appointed audit-
or instead of Mr McPherson, absent.
Mr H. I. Strang read an able paper on
'The effeot of the High School regulations
n the Qnalifioationgof Public School teach -
re." Much information was given and
many valuable hints thrown out. The mat-
er of Mr Strang's paper and the hints
brown oat were very thoroughly discussed.
The Auditor's report was read and Mr S.

ntatio Teachers' Association. The next

The Two Wives.
There were two wives—the one wise, the
other foolish. The wise wife demanded of
her husband, even before their marriage,
that he should insure, so that, should she
be left desolate, yet she would not be'desti-
tute also. And the husband did so. and his
love for her was greater than before, and
his days were long, and be lived to collect
the insurance himself.
But the foolish wife did scoff at and re-
vile the agent, who pleaded with her hue -
band, and had already persuaded him to
insure. She denied its value, and bargain-
ed with him that he should bring her the
silver with which he was to pay for being
insured. And she agreed to care for it, and
with it provide many new and beautiful
things for their hgme to the end that they
might enjoy it together. And the husband
yielding, gave her the silver, yet repenting
of his determination, but did not take the
policy which the agent brought. Soon af-
ter the husband was stricken with a fever,
and died, and the foolish wife was fain to
sell even her trinkets to buy bread for the
children who had been born unto her.
This clearly illustrates the importance of
making provision for one's. family, and
there is uo better medium than by a life
insurance policy.

Lord Aberdeen was a motorman
Thursday on an electric car which
made a trip from Aylmer to Ottawa,
with the Government House party.
They went out to name the new park
the Queen's Park. It is not generally
known that the Governor-General has
a turn for engineering, and has before
now driven a locomotive.
The workman often eats his lunch on
on the same bench where he does his work.
The office man turns his desk into a din-
ing -table. Neither gets the out of doors ex-
ercise he needs, neither takes the proper
time for eating. It is small wonder that the
digestion of both gets out of order In
such cases Dr. Pieroe's l'lesant Pellets
come to their assistance by aiding nature
in taking care of the food.
The cense of nine -tenths of the sickness
of the world is constipation, From this
one cause come indigestion; disorders of
the stomach, liver and kidneys; biliousness.
headaches, flatulence, heartburn impurity
of blood and the seriors complil a'ions that
follow. To begin with, constipatton is a
little thing, and a little thing will cure it.
The "Plesant Pellets" are tiny, sugar-coat-
ed granules. They will perfectly cure the
worst case of constipation and indigestion.

pill that pays him greater profit, just think
of what will best pay you.
At Chicago,,Friday afternoon, in a
saloon kept by Carl Schoepfer, a num-
ber of men engaged in an argument as
to who could drink the most whisky.
Finally Jacob Conrad Joseph Bohrn,
and Carl Eisleben began the contest.
The saloonkeeper supplied the whisky
in small
beer glasses, Conrad was
ahead on the number of glasses drunk,
when he suddenly collapsed and fell to
the floor. He was dragged into a rear
room, left lying on the floor and the
other two drank on. They became un-
conscious in a short time and were left
Lying on the floor beside Conrad.
Word was sent to the police, and when
they reached the place Conrad was
dead, Bohm dying, and Eislehen in a
critical condition. The saloonkeeper
was arrested, charged with manslaugh-
