A somewhat curious find was made in
Lake Erie last week. Thirty-five years
ago a tug was towing a raft of square
oak timber to Port Colbournei having
come down from the upper lakes, The
night was dark and stormy, and the raft
broke in two, a part of it drifting away
and disappearing as though it had gone
to the bottom of the lake. The lost tim-
bers were valued at about fifty thousand
dollars, but no amount of searching
could locate it, Curiously enough the
great raft was looated the other day
near Goll Island by a number of farmers
who were fishing. The timber is said
to be in an almost perfect state of pre•
servation and is now worth almost dou-
ble what it was at the time it was lost.
It is said to belong to the estate of the
late Dalton McCarthy.

nae a weary whine; but soon we'll wel-
come the joyous morn, with Ito good old
sun and its breakfast horn ;and the world

Brains vs. Cheek.
Brains can never be mistaken for
bumptiousnees, When you see a man
acting as though he were the only real,
thing, you can put it down that he is a
"job lot." If you have anything under
your hair that is worth carrying atound
you will not have to stand at the corner
and invite people to look at yon or feel
that you have to say things that will
cause them to stare. There are some
people in this world who imagine that to
be considered wise they must be "men -
trio" and they immediately proceed to
make themselves a nuisance .to their
friends and a source of amusement to
the general public, Nevertheless the
publio which likes to be humbugged
manifesto its peonliarity along this line
now and then, permitting quack phil-
osophers to gain a place of more or leas
prominence in the public eye. Cheek
and gall thus thrust a man into prom-
inence although they will never keep
him off the dead level of brainless
egotism.

",t wish I had ail the money I could
lifti'" Ilgw many of the thousands
who maks this get-rlcb-quick wish
have any idea of the amount they
would hive 1f the wish should be
granted, Few name the (Imo tateation
of the money on which they dense to,
test their strength, perhaps believing.
that their lifting powers would make
their wealthy no matter wbnt kind or
mouse: they lifted.
If they were asked how much they
could lift in silver or small bills the
majority probably would name some
fabulous sum which investigation+
would show several men could not
budge, la gold or in paper money or
large denominations the ordinary in-
dividual would be able• to lift a fair
s}zed fortune, but to win a million uy
lifting it in anything loss than iwellty
dollar bills would need the s'l•eui tib
of a veritable Sauclow.
An oflieial of the subtreasury who iso
interested in odd statistics in his de-
partment was asked how reneh money
the average man could lift in the vari-
ous•denominations of gold, silver and
paper.
`•Well," lie replied, "a roan could
make looney on that proposition if lie
could get bold of paper money of large
denominations, but on the smaller bills,
silver and gold be would not be a
millionaire by any weans.
"The weight of money is very de-
ceptive. For instance, a young man,
a friend of aline, came in to see roo
one day with his fiancee. 1 was show-
ing them through my department and
asked my friend if he thought the.
young woman was worth her weight
in gold. IIs did think so, most emphat-
ically, and after ascertaining that her
weight was one 107 pounds we fig-
ured
ieurcd that she would be worth in gold:
coin exactly $28,647. Her fiancee,
thought that would be pretty cheap.
"Perhaps more people are deceived'
on the weight of paper money than on:
the metals. Now, how many one dol-•
lar bills do you think would be neces-
sary to -weigh as much as a five dol-
lar gold piece?"
fifty was ventured as a guess, and'
the statistician laughed.
"1 have had guesses on that all the•
way from 50 to 500," he said, "and °
some of thele from men who have
handled money for years. As a mat-
ter of fact, with a five dollar gold
piece in one scale you would have to •
put about six and a half bills in the
other to balance it."
lie produced figures to prove that a
five dollar gold piece weighed two -
hundred and ninety-slx thousandths of,
an ounce avoirdupois. An einployee •
who makes the new bills up in pack-
ages of 100 each said that a hundred
bilis weighed four and one-half ounces.
That would make one hill weigh forty-
five thonsandths of au ounce, and be-
tween six and seven would balance -
the gold piece.
Figures on the lifting proposition
were furnished from the department
where the money is weighed in bags
as standards. The standard amount
for gold coin, $5,000, weighs eighteen
and a half pounds. Five hundred sil-

Wingham People Should Know How
to read and heed them.
Siok kidneys give many signals of die -
tress.
The eeoretione are dark, contain a sed-
iment.
Passages are frequent, scanty, painful.
Backache is constant day and night.
Headaches and dizzy spells are fre-
quent.
The weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Don't delay! Use a special kidney re-
medy.
Booth's Kidney Pills cure t sick kid-
neys, backache. and urinary disorders.
Wingham evidence proves this state-
ment.
R. Leary. of . Minnie St., Wingham,
Ont., says:—"My back had been weak
and tender and a severe, grinding pain
would catch me across the kidney region
if i would stoop over or lift anything.
The kidney secretions had beoome
unusually irregular and frequent and
the urine was highly colored and filled
with brink dust sediment. I had tried
several different kidney remedies but
found none of them to benefit me. I
learned of 13ooth's Kidney Pills through
an advertisement and procuring a box at
Mr. MoKibbon's Pharmaoy, commenced
their use. I was soon convinced, how-
ever of their wonderful curative merits.
My baok soon strengthened and the pains
and tenderness left it. The kidney se-
cretions were reduced to normal and
the urine cleared. Booth's Kidney Pills
are a fine and reliable remedy and I will
always recommend them."

MOTHER'S AYES.

You bet my mother's eyes are bright 1
Just like the eters they twinkle,
But'tween the twinkle she can see,
And always knows what's wrong with
me—
Why Flout and Sugar are Dear
James McLean, of Oarnlaohie, in a
letter to the Sarnia Canadian, says the
2-1b. loaf which sells at 6o, in London,
England, is 80. in. Oamlachie, while
granulated sugar is 40. per lb, in Lon-
don, as against 614o in this country.
Mr. MoLean eays that the tient which
makes the loaf that is sold cheaper in
London than it is here, is shipped all the
way from Sarnia to Halitus by rail and
then eoroes the Atlantic. Why is it he
asks, tinder these ciroumstanoesthat the
price of the finished article in London is
lees than it is With ns? the explanation
is, he says, that the Canadian miller,
With a protective tariff of 60o. per bbl,
on his hoar, be by means of a combine,
enabled to keep up the domestic price
above that prevailing in free trade Eng.
land. The difference in the price of
sugar in the two cares is, Mr. McLean
farther says, explained by the foot that
there is only a smell duty on imported
refined sugar in England while here the
duty is almost prohibitive, thus placing
Canadian reihiera in a positiott to exact
unfair profits from Canadian oopentaiers.
And when they all make fun of Sis,
And say her hair ie red,
My mother laughs and says it's gold,
And will be darker when she's old—
'Most brown, is what she said.
And "Ranty's" what the kids call me,
Because I'm awful short;
But mother says I'm plenty tall—
She Clays the great men all were small,
And not to mind bays' sport,
She thinks we all are beautiful,
And each the triceat size.
Though some are large and some are
small,
It makes no difference at all—
We're right in another's eyes.
