of their new faeto"y at Whitby, Ont.
The price is said to be $150,000. The
old'liliarton plant will bo dismantled,
sad its structural steel and machinery
removed to Whitby. The contract
calls for the completion of the build-
ings by August 15th, 1000.
---The much talked of action, Gode-
t•iclt township vs. Colborne township,
is now at an end. 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. The
costs so far incurred by the township
of Goclorich exceeds. the $100 in dis-
pute,
-An interesting action arising out
of the sale of turnip seed was recently
decided by Judge Finkle at Wood-
stock. A farmer by the name of
Denny hall bought three pounds of
seed from a merchant. He had asked
for Canadian Goin seed, but the roots
produced were the common stripped -
leaf variety and $75 damages was
asked. for. The merchant contended
that the plaintiff had bought the seed
at his own risk, but the court held dif-
ferently and allowed $40 damages.
-Hoard's Dairyman reports the re-
cord of a Wisconsin Guernsey cow,
Yeksa Sunbeam, which is worthy of
special notice. This cow was 91
years old at the commencement of
her test on the 1st of October, 1004.
The records were carefully kept for a
years and during this time the cow
produced 14,020 lbs. of milk, giving an
average test of 5.7 per cent. fat and a
total production of 857 lbs. of butter
fat, which according to Prof. Farring-
ton, was equal to 1,0131 lbs. of but-
ter.
-Mrs. Archie Johnston, an old lady
who lived alone in Lucknow met with
a terrible accident on Tuesday even-
ing, from the effects of which she died ,
on Wednesday evening. 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. Mr. Frank Ham. who
was passing on the sidewalk at the
time noticed the flames and ran to her
assistance, but before the flaines could
be extinguished she was terribly burn-
ed.
-Last week the inquest on the body
of an inmate of the House of Refuge,
named John McAllister, formerly of
Brussels, was concluded, the jury
rendering the following ver ict :-
"That deceased came to his death by
exposure on Sunday the 10th day of
December, 1905, on the London Road,
nerr Brucefield,and that we call the
attention of the County Council to
the lack of responsible supervision of
the House of Refuge at night, and we
recommend that some better system
than the existing one be adopted."
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. Jones had less than
two acres of sugar beets. Off this he
shipped, according to returns from
the factory at Berlin, 25 tons, 1128
pounds, which tested 15%, and in con-
sequence he was paid $5 a ton, which
gave him $127.76, less $21.$5 for
freight and seed, leaving him a net
profit of $105.91. 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.

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.

Rev. Mr. Fallis, are to be congratulat-

Broken Sleep -Tired Next Morning.
Sleep not only rests but builds up
the body. Cut down the hours of
sleep and you cut down health in the
same proportion. Rebuilding then
ceases, nerves go to smash, you grow
tired, weak and wretched.
To restore sleep you must get more
bodily strength, more nutitious blood,
healthier nerves. Ferrozone solves the
whole problem, makes you sleep
soundly, gives end7tratice, vim, ambi-
tion. No more morning weakness -
instead the fire of youth will run in
• your veiny, supplying abundance of
energy and vigor. Witchery expresses
the instant effect of Ferrozone ; try it.

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-

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.
