Feather Cleaning,
The people of 'SVinglisan and vi-

their feather beds and pillows cleaned,

The Blyth Standard has a sub-
scriber that boasts of what his hens
can do, but we need. not go as far as
Blyth for good hens. Right here in
Wingham, a gentleman has eight
hens that laid 037 eggs between No-
vember 9th last and May 7th of this
year, and one of them brought out a
batch of chickens besides. Until the
Standard's subscriber can induce his
hens to do better than this, our sub-
scriber's hens will caekle all the often-
er and Iouder too.
Right now is the time to have your
feather beds thoroughly renovated.
The only way to have them done to
please you is to consult The Canada
Feather Washing Co, at Wingham.
Encke's Comet.
Those who know have this to say of
the comet—"Eneke's comet is now
visible, and, by the end of November,
should be distinguishable with the
naked eye in the absence of the moon.
On Nov. 1 it will be a few degrees
northeast of Beta Pegase, traveling
rapidly to the southwest, and by the
first week of December, will be near
the bright star Alpha Agnilae.
Eneke's is considered the most in-
teresting of all comets, as it is an at-
tractive object in a telescope. It re-
volves around the sun in 1,200 days,
and has been observed in thirty of its
returns since its first discovery by
Mechain in 1780."
Toads Are Useful,
Gardeners should never injure a
toad; they have no helper that will
devour so many insects. One writer'
says—"The toad is an exceedingly
greedy animal and must be a source of
constant terror to the multitude in-
habiting the insect world. It feeds
continually throughout the night, and
in 24 hours consumes a quantity of in-
sects equal to about four times its
stomach capacity. In ono toad's
stomach have been found 77 of the
pest called the thousand -leg -worm, in
another's 87 tent•caterpillars, in an-
other's 05 gipsy-moth caterpillars, and
in yet another's 55 army worms.
Thirty large caterpillars have been fed
to a toad in less than three hours.

—What is wrong with the editorial
end of the Toronto Globe. Sometimes
the paper scarcely knows its own
mind at week at a time. Its "barna-
cle" editorials aroused excitement,
which it quickly allayed by defence of
the self -same barnacles. The Walker-
ton Telescope (a sttatmch Liberal paper)
scores the Globe thusly :—
"What the Globe says to -clay, it
must apologize for to -morrow, and
as a matter of fact, nobody can
tell where it is at. People will
soon get tired of this kind of thing
and ifhe
t Globe would d retain its
hold upon the public it will have
to take a definite stand. upon the
one side or the other."
—•Ex -Premier Ross, the fallen idol
of the Temperance people, was always
promising, but seldom performing.
Premier Whitney (rakes few promises
along the line of temperance, but he
has done more for the cause in three
months than Ross did in as many
years. .A. deputation from the Presby-
terian Synod. of Toronto and Kingston
called on Hon. W. J. Hanna last
Thm:9day morning and asked that no
liquor licenses be granted in New On-
tario, and that the license -holder:
throughout the Province should be
compelled to observe the provisions of
the law. Provincial -Secretary Hanna,
in reply said that he could assure theist
that the Government would not issue
any mare licenses, either in New On-
tario or in old Ontario. He added
that special officers were now travel-
ling through the country looking for
license -holders, who did not observe
the law, and the railways were aiding
the Department by giving these offi-
cers special rates. The deputation
was delighted at the stand taken by
the Government.
