The plaintiff's solicitors on the 28th instant served on the defendant's solicitor a notice in the following words :--"Take notice that the plaintiff wholly discontinues this action," This means that the plaintiff abandons the action and has to pay the defendant's costs.

A farmer by the name of Denny hall bought three pounds of seed from a merchant.

Just how the dreadful accident occurred will be never known, but it is supposed she lighted the lamp with a piece of paper and was in the act of putting the paper into the stove when her cloth- ing took fire.

It appears that deceased, who was 80 years of age, slept in the basement with another inmate, Donald McLeod, and that on the Saturday night he got up and left the building, and on Sun- day morning he was picked up on the road near Brucefleld in a dying state, having been absent from the House for about 12 hours. -The Kippen correspondent of the Clinton New Era gives the following items -Mr. W.

Another farmer, Mr. J. Jarrott, launched out in an- other direction, and put in 70 pounds of onion seed. He took them under contract from Mr. Ortwein, of Hen- sall, who was to charge him 85 cents a pound for the seed and to take the sets at 41 cents per pound. The seed sowed over seven -eighths of an acre, and yiokled over five tons of sets. After paying for the seed and extra help, he had over $350 for his share - not too bad from less than an acre of land. Lucknow.

Cured His Mother of Rheumatism. "My mother has been a sufferer for many years from rheumatism," says W. H. Howard of Husband, Pennsyl- vania. "At times she was unable to move at all, while at oll times walking was painful. I presented her with a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after a few applications she decid- ed it was the most wonderful pain re- liever she had ever tried ; in fact, she is never without it now and is at all times able to walk. An occasional ap- plication of Pain Balm keeps away the pain that she was formerly troubl- ed with." For sale by all Druggists. 1 West Wawanosh. Mr. and Mrs. Robt.

Oahe It need scareeiy be told that in Oa pipes of tong .ago aaeh Sather append• ed to the stem represented an seamy slain. If one doubted the retard et the war eagle feathers, the warrior then showed the scalps of the enemy, whielt were kept as a sort ot a sacred proof of his word. Such pipes were used only on oecaalens ot peace and war. Speaking roughly, the bestpipe, of eastern tribes were Ira molded slay, the gest of the western tribes lot elate pipe .tone taken from the famous guar- ry west of the Missisatppi. Before the great buffalo and antelope Jaunts, when herds of game were driven Into a pound or an inclosed area of snares, It was customary for the Indians to whiff the ineeuse of propitiation to the spirlte of the uuitnals about to be slain, explain - Ing that only the desire for food Cora - Felled the Indian to kill and that the hunt was the will of the Master of Life, or "Master of the Roaring Winds," who wouid compensate the animals In the next world. The pipes used for this ceremony usually show the figure of a man in conference with the figure of an animal. Others show the figures of Indians with locked. hands,. This type. fies a vow of friendship to be terml• nated only by death. It was usually between men, but sometimes between a man and a woman, In which case the platonic bond not only precluded, but forbade, the very possibility of mar- riage. After that who shall say that the stolid Indian has no vein of senti- ment in his nature? One of the most curious pipe! I have seen I bought from a Cree on a reser- vation east of the refugee Sioux. It is. In the shape of a war hatchet, of c metal which I do not know, though ' suspect it Is galena mixed with clay, the edge being sharp enough, but the back of the ax being a bowl and the handle a pipe stem. The odd lines in Indian carvings and woven work are not without meaning. Fighting Mistah could read a legend where we saw nothing but bizarre markings. Thera were the circular lines, hollow down, meaning clouds; the cross, meaning the coming of the priest; the tree, a type of .peace with its branches overshad- owing the nations; the wavy line, sig- nifying water; the arrow, war. The ordinary Indian can read a tribal song or chronicle from obscure drawings on the face of a rock or crazy colored work on a scraped buffalo skin. -Out- ing. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. Be a gentleman, and some people will not appreciate you. Defeat is often a good thing, as It shows a man how little he amounts to. If you want to enjoy the society of people never become intimate with them. Rich men are hated and this is the reason: We poor people ore in the majority. The house is too noisy for with a child in it and too 1 for comfort when the child leave there you are. Every house owner should ask him- self this question tomorrow, "is my house a uuisanee in the neighborhood?" Look yourself over. As a man gets older he finds that the path from the cradle to the grave is not near so long as it was from soup to dessert when he was a child. t nfort iesome • And According to Scripture. A certain tailor of very strict prin- ciples was in the habit of excusing the faults of his assistants only in they could justify themselves by Scripture. One day a woman entered his shop and asked to see some material, but refused to buy it because it was too cheap. After showing her some other goods, the assistant brought hack the same material, this time asking a high- er price, whereupon the customer bought It. Afterward, the proprietor, who had witnessed the transaction, re- proved his assistant severely. The lat- ter, remembering the rules of the es- tablishment, replied: "Oh, It's accord- ing to Scripture all right. She was a stranger and I took her In," Nn mes of Birds. Certain birds get their names from St. Peter. According to a writer, "the petrel (in German Petersvogel, Peter's bird), a bird that skins the waves, is named after the apostle who walked upon the waves of Galilee. But the parrot's is it less simple case. in Spain and in Portugal, as in 'France, the word corresponding to 'parrot' al- most certainly represents 'little Peter,' a familiar name playfully applied be- cause Peter was so common a Chris- tian name. Similarly a house sparrow is nicknamed Verret' in France," Speed Bates. Few men could tell, if they were asked, how many feet per second they walk. The average man walks four feet a second. A dog, on its ordinary jog, goes eight feet a second. A horse trots twelve feet a second. A reindeer over the Ice makes twenty-six feet, A race horse makes forty-three feet. A sailing ship makes fourteen feet. Got the Thorn. Young Thorne (to his Ideal) * And your name Is hose? What a sweet name Rose is! Rose -I am glad you like it.
