Tho unfortunate young man has been farming in the west, and in the winter months working at a,n elevator, —Swedish doctors never send bills to their patients. Each patient pays what he deems just or is able to give. The rich pay the physician liberally, whether they have need of his services or not, if he Iia been once retained by then. The poor, if they possibly can, pay hitn a small sum, and the very poor pay hint nothing. Yet he at- tends the poor as faithfully as he does the rich. —The Persians do not hang many people for murder.. If a man kills another he is fined $15 and allowed to go about his business, but if he insists on doing mash things and kills ten cr twelve people he is finally hanged. But these hangings are not carried out in the same way that they are in this country. The victim is hung up 1)7 the heels and a heavy weight is fastened to his head and ho is allowed to swing until he dies. —The grain elevator at Cargill sta- tion was burned on Thursday week. Building and contents were wholly de- stroyed. Mr. Cliittick has had the elevator rented and had in about six cars of oats and peas. Cargill & Son owned the building. The fire started in the basement of the building, and was caused by the explosion of a gaso- line engine. Mr. Chittick's loss is, we hear, about $2,000 and he has $1,500 insurance on the grain. —The salt well at Stapleton has been shut down and The Clinton News -Record understands, there will be in all probability in a short time not be a well in operation in this county in which it has been a lead- ing industry for the past forty years. The places affected will be Clinton, Goderich Seaforth, Wingham and Brussels. It is said that the bulk of salt manufactured in this province will be made in wells at Sarnia and Windsor where sawdust from the big mills will be utilized as fuel. • What is known as the Dominion Salt Co. is al- leged to control the industry. Preston, Ont., March 3rd.—John Bartholomew, son of Thos. Bartholo- mew, aged 27 years, residing near Strasburg; had his neck broken early yesterday morning while driving to his home from Strasburg. The sleigh ran into a pitch -hole, throwing the driver out on his head. His legs and body- became 'entangled under the sleigh and the horses stopped, leaving the sleigh on the unfortunate young man in this position. W. H. Weaver, a resident near Strasburg, was the first to discover •the accident. The team was standing still at the spot, evidently knowing that something had happened. It is supposed that the accident occurred four or five hours before Mr. Weaver came to the scene. The night being cold, the body was frozen stiff. :1: A Safe Cough Medicine For Children.

The Bank of Commerce has com- menced the erection of a $12,000 office building in Strathroy, the contractors being Messrs. Edge and Gutteridge, of Seaforth. The bank building wiII be three storeys high and some seventy feet deep, and it is said will be the handsomest business structure in the town. The members of t1e Seaforth muni- cipal council met the Titckersinith cotnlcil on Saturday evening and lis- cussed the question of purchasing broken stone from the township dur- ing the coming season. Tuckersrnith is purchasing a stone crusher and will he in position to supply all the broken stone used in the district, it was finally agreed that Seaforth would purchase its supply from the town- ship, the price to be 000 per cubic yard at the pit. At shortly before six o'clock on Thnrsda,y morning the powerful engine in the Seaforth Milling Co.'s mill here was partially wrecked, and the wheels of this usually busy hi- dustry are now still. At time of going to press it was impossible to learn the cause of the disaster, or how long it would mean n tie up of the milling industry, The large dis on the wars broken and it portion of it a !engine1 hurled. through the brick wall of the engine room. The engine is other- wise damaged.

Ethel Doherty, (daughter of W, W. Doherty,) who is in delicate health, leaves next week on a visit to her sister, Mrs, Magee, at Calgary,, in the hope that the change may do her good, R. Graham has bought the Mason House from Robt. Mason, the pur, chase price being about $5,000, and will get possession on May first when the lease of Mr. Brandenburger ex- pires. It is proposed to double the capacity of the Clinton knitting factory and for that purpose several local—and one from Pennsylvania—capitalists have jollied hands. The intention is to erect a new building, equip it with up-to-date machinery and put the in- dustry in first-class shape for coping with the Wearwell brand of hose. A Citizen's League for the town of Clinton was formed last Monday even- ing and wo are told they intend to take an active part in all question of temperance and moral reform. A sub Committee was appointed to draw up by-laws and Constitution which will be submitted to the next meeting to be held at an early date. All loyal citizens generally are asked to assist in arousing public sentiment of whole. some law enforcement and much need- ed moral reform. Mrs. Jas. Scott, wife of our worthy postmaster, died very suddenly on Monday, March 8th. She had been ill the day previously and the Dr. had been inattendance, he was also sum- moned during the night, but no fatal results were feared. Between seven and eight o'clock on going to the bed- side the eldest daughter found her mother had ceased to breathe, the vital spark had. fled. The awful sud- denness of her death has intensified grief of the stricken family, the bereaved husband and three child- ren. Listowel. Evangelist McHardy is assisting Rev. Oliver at special services with good success. The Chair Factory, which has been closed for some months for want of capital, will shortly be re -instated on a solid financial basis. John Edgar, whose arrest in Toron; to on a charge of bigamy was'reported last week, was found guilty and sentenced to two years, less one day, in Central prison. His first wife is living in Listowel, ,and both families , are highly respected and feel their position very keenly. The Listowel Board of Tracie held its annual meeting in the Town Hall .on Monday evening. Many matters relating to the welfare of the town were discussed, among them the ex- tension to Listowel of the C.P.R. from some point on the main line to Gode- rich. The prospects for Listowel are bright. The Water Commissioners have suc- ceeded in connecting well No. 2 at the , pumping -station with the first well and find the supply of water nearly double, It is still, however, not suf- ficient for the requirements of the town, the lifting power of the pumps being three tines greater than the supply of water in an unsatisfactory state. More wells must be sunk and a greater supply of water obtained. This matter can be safely left in the capable hands of the Water Commis- sioners.

Conutrr Moue and TOwn Nettie l[Ps,A ble 0115 Foundation In Filet, The fable of the country !House and the town mouse has a foundation in fact, bficeoccasionally migrate In large ,numbers when food grows scarce and travel considerable distances to fresh houses. Farmers In a part of Perth- shire bad a good reason to become aware of this fact when a couple of years ago vast swarms of mice invaded their cornfields at harvest time. But the mouse only travels when It has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems to take a yearly outing, iu very Hauch the same fashion as do human beings. Rats are the most migratory creatures in the world. Troops of rats leave the towns at the end of summer and spend a month or two in the country, appar, ently in order to enjoy the change of food which the country affords at that time of the year in the way of fresh fruit and grain. Before the cold weath- er sets in they are all back again in their ofd quarters. Reindeer migrate with the same reg, ularity as swallows. They move south when winter sets in, but as soon as ev- er the snow begins to melt they travel steadily north, sometimes for as much as a thousand miles. To end a holiday by deliberate sui- cide is so strange a phenomenon that for a long time naturalists looked upon the stories of the migration of the lem- mings as nn improbable fiction. Yet the facts aro beyond dispute. At irregular intervals these ratlike creatures start out from their homes in the fastnesses of northern Scandinavia in huge droves numbering tens of thousands and trav- el steadily southward. Death pursues them in a hundred forms. Hawks and other birds of prey hover above them. Thousands are drowned in rivers. Yet the rest struggle on until they reach the sea. They do not stop. They plunge in, swim out and struggle on until at last their strength fails and they drown. Not one ever returns from this journey of death.—London Answers. COTTON IN A FABRIC. How to Tell if Worsted or Woolen Cloth's Are Adulterated. Worsted cloths are less often adulter- ated than woolens and are more easily detected. A cotton worsted is a lie on the face of it, for the cotton stands out with prominence. But often a cotton thread is twisted with a worsted thread, and to determine its presence it is only necessary to take the twist out of the thread and then examine its component parts. Cotton, having a long staple, can be carded and combed with wool to be spun into worsted yarn. This is done to cheapen the cost of production. Cot- ton is carded and spun with wool and shoddy, not so much to cheapen the yarn, for cotton is generally as expen- sive as some shoddies, but is intro- duced to give strength or spinning qualities to the stock. In many cases the shoddy is of such short staple that it would not stand the drawing in spinning, ancl, as it would make the cost of the yarn too high to put in enough wool to give that lacking strength, cotton is put in for this pur- pose. The percentage of cotton in a fabric can be determined in this manner: Take a small piece of cloth and weigh it. Now boll it for five minutes in a 5 per cent solution of caustic soda. Take out what is left, and, if any, it is all cotton. The wool will all be dissolved. The percentage of shoddy cannot be de- termined except by experience. A cloth or yarn with shoddy in it is easily detected by its feel. Cloth made of all new wool is softer feeling than one containing shoddy, for the latter has lost that new, soft, springy feel peculiar to wool.—American Wool and Cotton Reporter. Success Prolongs Life. It is now well known that increased complexity of life with increased ex- penditure distinctly aids longevity. Luxury, "the fertile parent of 0 whole family of diseases," modifies it greatly, of course, but this is a manageable fac- tor, says the London Chronicle. We have only to recall personal experience to realize the force of intellectual stim- ulation. The interest of sport will sus. tain men without fatigue for distances they otherwise could not traverse. The excitement of strife will often mask the presence of wounds. Self forgetful- ness in all the walks of Life, under the stress of love, chivalry or accepted duty, doubles human endurance. Sue. cess gives new vitality, new powers, and this is another name for new life. • No lotion of Real Trouble. "I bet I get into more trouble than any man in this state," volunteered the young fellow who had come in the club- house. "Nothing in the trouble nue overlooks me. Why, I'd be afraid to marry"— "What! Ain't you married?" ejacu- lated the red nosed elderly party who was hovering over the gratis lunch. "Boy, Sou don't know what trouble is." - Charity. She—I'm glad wo went. It was an excellent performance—and for such a charitable purpose. Her Husband— Yes, indeed! We all feel a thrill of sat- isfaction when we do something for charity and get the worth of our mon- ey at the same time.—London Tit -Bits. Intended.
