A Physician's Opinion.
In the Journal of Health, Dr. Laban
writes as follows—"r •have often
observed that youths, who before the
habit of smoking wg.8 contracted were
resolute, wordy teed vigorous in rpen-
tal fibre, bepame After free indt;lgepee
in this practice, timid, fearful, hesitat-
ing, and irresolute. The mental stanii-
na was gone, and the quality of man-
hood produced much inferior to that
originally promised. One other defect
deserves mention in this connec-
tion—viz., the dryness of the mouth
and throat. and the corresponding'
thirst, produced by smoking. This
thirst is morbid, and not to be satisfied
easily with that which allays natural
thirst. It craves eoneetilir1g stronger.
Also the nerve depression induced by
the t;see of tobacco fields a ready and

beer, 'were and aiti'bfios: These two
causes, then, the thirst and depression,
are powerful temptations to drinking.

January Weather.
Rev. Irl Hicks, of St. Louis, the elm-
cessfnl weather predictor, gives in
'Word and Works a full forecast for
January. We condense it here for the
benefit of our readers. A Vulcan
•,torm period covers the first six days
of oannary, being central on the 3r•d.
Winter storms will develop and pass
from west to east, followed by colder
weather. From 9th to 12th, there will
be a return to storm conditions, with
more rain and snow, again followed by
colder and clear weather. The moon
being at south declination during the
disturbances of Oth to 12th, the cold
attending these storms will, he general
and severe. A Mercury disturbance
extends frdm 12th to 23rd, central on
18th ; during the first half of this, a
Vulcan storm period also prevails,
central on 15th. Some of the heaviest
storms of the month are probable from
Tuesday, 14th, to Friday, 17th, Moon
on the equator on 14th will intensify
electric conditions, causing in southern
parts thunder and lightning. Rain
will turn to sleet and snow, ending in
blizzards to north and west, with
sweeping cold wave bringing up the
rear, About the 20th cold will abate,
and ruin storms may be expected from
west to east; these will turn to sleet
and strew, and during29th to 2ttlt
winter storms and blizzards may be
expected. The last torn period is
,central on 20th, covering from 24th to
29th. 'After 27th, a high barometer
and cold wave will close the month.

and 53 years ago emigrated to Cana-
da, settling in Oxford county. Later,
he removed to Mornington, Sometime
ago, he spent three years in California,
but never enjoyed as good health since.
Oyer two years ago, he was struck by
a train at the C. P. R. station, and the
accident, with the amputation of one
foot, still further shook his system.
He leaves a widow, four sons and three
daughters. Two sons and two daugh-
ters are numbered with those "gone

—Mrs. Briefmau, Mrs. Wright, of To-

Mayor five years, and endeavored to
do his duty faithfully, and had made
no money ou,t of the town. The tares
had beer kept down to 20 mills. Ex-
tension to waterworks had been laid,
costing $1,600; there was $4,500 to the
credit of the town in the sinking fund;

from Detroit had looked it over to -day.
and was favorably impressed with the
opening. The town's security was
ample. The Council of 1901 was elect-

t hon those who had put all they had
into the trtldertaking. He would be in
favor of postponing payments if that
would relieve those who suffered. Mr.
Mclndoo then referred,to the necessity
for water for domestic purposes, And
outlined his plan, which was briefly Ori

bathe foot of Victoria street, and
arrangements could be rade with Mr.
-
Green to pump the water to a stand-
pipe on the hill above the Union fac-
tory, This would give water for do-
mestic purposes at a very moderate
cost, and would prove a good invest-
ment.
Conn. Newton considered that the
Council had nothing to clean up; their
record was clean. Though he was per-
sonally a loser in the Iron Works, he
considered the town had made a good
bargain, and that it would turn out all
right for the town yet, though the
shareholders lost.
Mr. A, Dulmage was not a candidate
but spoke on the important question
of Waterworks. He was glad to hear
Coun. Mclndoo refer to it. Nothing
was more important than good water,
from the standpoint of health. A sys-
tem of sewerage was needed. The re-
moval of weals and closets was neces-
sary for tiiohealth pf the. ;

Principal Musgrove was called for,
ated responded. He was not a candi-
date, but hoped some action would be
taken regarding a supply of good water
for dowestic purposes. Welts were
hard to sink, often went dry and water
at times was not good. He thought a
system could be inaugurated that
would prove self-sustaining. and in-
stanced the case of Niagara Falls,
where for $10 a xear, citizens had all
they desired. He referred to the
School, which now had an average of
350 attendance, and was taking up the
full cni'riculunt for 2nd class certificates
so that pupils could take a Second
without going out or town. Wingham
°drool was now doing High school
!pork at Buhlic school salary, and a
division of the first department would
be a necessity at an early date, and
ratepayers should be prepared for it.
Comparison with other schools was
steu'cely fair, as Wingham school was
doing High school work. He hoped
and believed that Wingham would
keep its proud position at the front as
a progressive town.

sentation acpon:Tanied by the follow-
ing address:—
To Mr, R. H. Ansley
DEAR TEACIIER.—We, the pupils of
your c;chool, have met together this
afternoon to say good-bye and to as-
sure you of our regret at your leaving,
as you have by your kind manner and
by your willingness to help us in every
way, endeared yourself to all. And as
we go out into the world and cast a
glance hack on our childhood days, we
shall ,kindly recollect the happy and
pleasant hours spent with you under
your care while in course of your in-
struction, both moral and meatal.
We feel that wo cannot let yon go
without offering you a slight token of
our appreciation of your services in
the past, and also as a means of re.
membering• us. We would therefore
ask you to accept this small present, . a
Handkerchief case, assuring you that
it is given with our deepest love •and"
best wishes. And we pray that as the
"mountains are round about Jerusa'
lem" so may the Lord be round, about
you through all the changing scenes
of life.
Signed on behalf of the purpils.,.'`
