J. G. Shearer, the `morality man" of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, addressed the Labor Congress at Winni• peg on the Sunday labor question, and invited it to appoint fraternal delo0 tes to address time church courts, promising theut a hearty welcome and a good hear- ing from the Presbyterian General As- sembly when it meets in Winnipeg next June. In the course of his address he sada "]le was ashamed of any labor man who wanted others to work for him on Sunday, 4111111 110 was also ashamed of the churchman who did so," That's the point. There 010 many things we might nwnt to enjoy on Sunday that we can- not get without making somebody else work on that day, ]f another must work for our pleasure on that day, why Shouldn't we also work? Carrying that ''' plan out would result in the loss of Sun- day. sop lim We have heard a good deal about the Canadian railways overworking their met to the point of exhaustion, and they have been severely censured there- for. There is another side, however, and it is hintetl at, by a Grand 'Trunk notice that any trainman working more ' than sixteen hours without eight hours rest will be dismissed from the service. It seems that to get the high extra pay for overtime some trainmen 10111 stay on duty as long as possible. The company has 1t rude requiring at least eight hours rest in the twenty-four, and henceforth dismissal will be the penalty of violation. Rather than allots trainmen to leave a station without sufficient rest it is or- dered that the train be taken off. • • The rumor sent out from Toronto last week that shareholders of1'tho defunct York County Loan Company were short- ly to receive an interim ,dl"vldend, had a senmf-official air, mind grea1)y;chee'cd the 114,000 who are 50alting_iwith more or less patience to recover 5ohtething from the wreck Luforttul alis y- lime rumor 011 ; not correct, and speed iy brought an official denial which dasl$d;the hoes P raised, Not only did it ts so, but it put forward to a year hon4,anyehance of the shareholders re0lzu ",'-)and then it was thought "a small di bo paid.

The uninitiated are prone to look up- on the balloon ne a sort of country fair attraction, whose principal interest lies In the risk the aeronaut takes, This is a mistake, IAke the automobile, the balloon re- quires an experienced pilot, and when such a one is in charge, serious or fatal accidents are never recorded. Most bal- loon clubs require all ascensions to be made under a regularly 'licensed pilot who receives his certificate from the club only after having demonstrated bit fft- nese. The pilot, who is willing to go up only in favorable weather and to mime down at the proper time, need never throw out a handful of sand and he can prevent hie balloon' from coming dowel or can send it up. When he le ready to land, he picks out n favorable spot ahead of him, lets els balloon conte gradually down near the ground, cuts loose the anchor which stops his pro- gress, then opens the valve again, if ne- cessary. When the car touches the ground, he tears out the ripping strip, and the balloon stretches en the ground a flat and empty bag. -From "Balloon- ing and Aortal Navigation;' by 1'. P. Lahm, U. S.

A littlo boy one day fa the village of Greenock, in Scotland, eat with his head between his hands watching a kettle boil- ing on the fire, while hie mother was kneading the dough for griddle cakes. The lid of the kettle began to novo up and down under the pressure of the steam beneath. At each rise and fall of the lid the boy would tray to himself, "Jamie, mon, there's power there." Sud- denly his mother turned around, and, giving him a stinging box on the ear, exclaimed, "And, Jamie, anon, there's power there!

Hicks Myers, living about thirteen miles northeast of Trenton, lost eleven headbf fat steers Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Myers had changed the steers from a shady pasture to another about an eighth of a ntf10 away, in which there were no trees. His boy discovered one dead about noon and Mr, Myers, on arrival at the pasture, found the whole herd closely bunched, trying to get shelter from the burning sun in the shade thrown by their own bodies. He out out all the yearlings and drove them to another part of the field, but too late to get the herd to shelter before eleven had fallen dead. The steers were worth about $65 a total loss. -From the Trenton Repub- lican -Tribune. Both the G. T. R. and the C. P.

Sir Samuel Baker in his book on wild beasts says that the power of the jaws of the crocodile is terrific. Once he had the metal of a largo hook the thickness of ordinary tele- graph wire completely bent together, the barbed point being pressed tightly against the shank and rendered useless. This compression was caused by the snap of the crocodile's jaws when seizing a live duck which he had used as bait, the hook being fastened beneath the wing. On another occasion he found a fish weighing seventy pounds bitten clean through as It divided by a knife. This again was the work of the snap- ping jaws of a crocodile. A Frenchman, Paul Bert, once made experiments on the strength of a croco- dile's jaws by means of a dynamometer. He found that a crocodile weighing 120 pounds exerted a force of 308 pounds in taminghis jaws, Tho Bon has an enor- mous aw power. An African traveller once pushed the butt end of his gum In- to a lion's mouth and the pressure of the jaws cracked it as though it had been struck by a steam hammer. -Chicago Dally News, Minard's Liniment Co., Limited: Gents, -A customer of ours cured a very bad case of distemper in a valuable horse by the use of MINARD'S LINI- MENT.
