Mr. Peterson, South Bay, Ont., writes: "For years I suffered a sort of eczema on the head. I tried four different doctors, giving each a fair trial, but the disease grew worse and spread to my arm. I got Dr. Chase's Ointment, and it has entirely cured me. I give you my name because I want other sufferers to know about this splendid Ointment." It is reported that the trainmen's con - v ention at Harrisburg, Pa., decided to pay Grand Trunk men who failed of re- instatement after the strike forty dol- larsa month until they secure employ- ment. The question of the extradition of Fedorenko, the Russian refugee, ar- rested at Winnipeg some time ago, will be brought before the Privy Coun- cil by the Russian Goverment.

A small boy was standing watching the camels in the menagerie of Howe's circus at St. Catharines, when sudden- ly one of them seized the boy's shoulder in its teeth, lifted him off his feet, and shook him vigorously. A keeper, who saw what happened, had great difficulty in making the camel let go. It is thought that the reason for the camel's rage was that the youngster bad got too near the hay it was eating. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAST®R i A Mr. F. J. Fraser has a cat that wants to be a brooder for the chickens hatch- ed out by the incubator that gentleman keeps. A few days ago the cat in the case had kittens and following the usual custom in most households they were all given to neighbors but one. The mother cat hid the remaining kit- ten and getting her eye on some chick- ens just turned out by the incubator carefully carried one of them to the loft in the stable and hid it with her kitten where it was found later appar- ently happy in its new home. --•Bruce Herald. So successful were the experiments in growing potatoes in Northern Ont- ario last year that the Ontario Veget- able Grower's Association has decided to send several varieties of seed pota- toes to the north in a few days, which will be distributed among the farmers there, and the entire output in the fall will be purchased by the association from the farmers at $1.25 a bag, with bags supplied and freight paid.

To -day it holds the award for being the best dairy farm in the eastern section of Ontario and a prize for being one of the best dairy farms in the province. The story of the transformation of this farm is one of ambition, pluck and indoiinitable per- severance on the part of Mr. Begg. It should offer inspiration to those thou- sands of young men who each year start out for themselves on the farms of Canada to overcome difficulties that in some cases may seem almost insur- mountable, but which really serve to show the calibre and metal of those who face them.

An English Chemist Has Discovered How to Grow Hair, In England the ladies have entirely abandoned wearing rats, which is due entirely to this new discovery. It has been proven that Henna leaves contain the ingredients that will posi- tively grow hair. That they contain this long -looked -for article is proven every day. The Americans are now placing on the market a preparationcontaining the extract from Henna leaves, which is haying a phenomenal sale. This preparation is called SALVIA, and is being sold with a guarantee to cure Dandruff and to grow hair in abundance. Being daintily perfumed, SALVIA makes a most pleasant hair dressing. F. J. Hind, your druggist, is the first to import this preparation into Wingham and a large generous bottle can be purchased for 50c.

Green . heart timber from British Guiana was used in the construction of the fifty Large pairs of lock gates in the Manchester ship canal. Prac- tically all the lock gates of the Bridge- water canal, and for the last fifty years all the dock gates in the Mersey harbor have been built of this wood. It is being extensively used in the new naval docks at Methil, in Scotland, and it has been specified for use as sills and fenders in the lock gates of the Panama Canal. The durability of green heart is well known. A leading authority says that it is hard to fix a limit to the durability of lock gates built of green heart; the only element in their construction lim- iting their age is the iron bolts and other fastenings, which are usually re- newed without serious difficulty. It is said that in rebuilding gates of the Canada dock in 1894, it was found that the green .heart after thirty-eight years' use, was as good as at first, .and it was again used in the construction of the new gates. Every wharf in the port of George- town is built on green heart piles, which successfully withstand the at- tack of the pile worm. Teak and oak, or any other hard wood would be des- troyed in a few years. The immunity of green heart from the teredo is said to be due to the large quantity of the alkaloid bebeerine found only in this wood. Phumatically konsidered, it haz a good deal ov essence and sum boddy. Pyroteknikally konsidered, the kon- klushuns aliwus the premises.

A traveller through a dusty road Strewed acorns on the lea; And one took root and sprouted up, And grew into a tree. Love sought its shade at evening time, To breathe its early vows, And Age was pleased, in heat of noon, To bask beneath its boughs; The dormouse loved its dangling twigs, The birds sweet music bore; It stood, a glory in its place, A blessing evermore! A little spring had lost it's way Amid the grass and fern, A passing stranger scooped a well, Where weary men might turn; He walled it in and hung with care A ladle at the brink; He thought not of the deed he did, But judged that toil might drink. He passed again—and lo, the well, IV' summers never dried, Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues, And saved a life beside! A dreamer dropped a random thought, 'Twas old, and yet was new— A simple fancy of the brain, But strong in being true; It shone upon a genial mind, And lo, its light became A lamp of light, a beacon ray, A monitory flame; The thought was small, its issue A watch -fire on the hill; It sheds its radience far adown, And cheers the valley still! A nameless man amid a crowd That thronged the daily mart Let fall a word of hope and love, Unstudied from the heart; A whisper on the tumult thrown — A transitory breath; It raised a brother from the dust, It saved a soul from death. 0 germ! 0 font! 0 word of love! 0 thought at random cast! Ye were but little at the first, But mighty at the last! —Charles Mackay. great, • HOW'S THIS. We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

[New York American.] Do you know why woman can it in a freezing draft' with low neck, no sleeves, and only a lace shirtwaist bet- ween her body and zero weather? Pro- fessor Adolph von Huebner, of the Royal Academy of Vienna, tells you. Over woman's entire body—even the skinniest woman's body—there exists a continuous Layer, of fat—very thin in some places, but still there and covering every inch of her. Thus, while she seems to sit in zero weather exposed to the blast, she is really sit- ting in a snug blanket of fat, reaching from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Men lack this fat blanket, and that is why the 250 -pound man would die if he tried to dress in winter as his 80 -pound daughter dresses when she goes to a party. Where did woman get the fat blan- ket? She got it in the old cave -dwell- ing days, in the shivery days, when the man kept warm hunting and the woman had to sit around and take care of the baby. Nature gave her that fat blan- ket then, and has not taken it away since. So says the professor. and surely it is an interesting announce- ment. Foolish Anger. You fly in•a passion and roar in fool fashion when something or other goes wrong, and people who hear you regret they are near you, and wish you would mosey along. Men's never so foolish, disgusting and rnulisll as when he is prancing in wrath; and yet, in his snorting and silly cavorting, he thinks be is cutting a swath, I don't mind the clangor of justified anger—a a inan has a right to be mad when standing a session of wrong and oppref,siou by men who are spiteful and bad. And when he is hotter than simmering water, ht' ought to go up in the air, and kick oust a girder 'and yell bloody murder, and bust a suspender and swear. 13ut be who goes raving and pawing and caving whenever by trifles upset, 'deserves a good whacking; be shows that he's lacking the some to come oat of the wet. --Walt Ma:lon. am] ZE: Eza 6' 4 THE WASTE BASKET. REASONS FOR THE SILO. Why Ensilage Should Be Used on Every Stook and Dairy, Farm. Toe Nebraska Dairymen's assocla* Om recently coffered a, prize for the best essay ou the silo. It was won by W. C. Forbes of the Nebraska Col- lege of Agriculture, who summed up thus; Every stock farmer should have a silo for the following reasons: First, --Because corn silage Is the(' nearest and most economical substi, tute for pasture grass, which is the ideal of all our rations. Second.—That an acre of corn silage yields from 600 to 2,000 pounds more nutrients per acre than any other of the farm crops. Third.—That there is a great economy of space in its use. Fourth.—That its use makes it more pleasant to feed stock and also saves a great deal of time and labor. Fifth.—Because with its use in the winter ration larger gains and milk flows are the result. Sixth.—With its use practically the entire food value of the corn crop is obtained. Seventh.—That the silo enables the farmer to keep double the number of bead of stock on the same farm. Eighth.—That our fields are cleared and ready for fall wheat or rye, as all our cornstalks are safely stored in our silo instead of going to waste in the field. Ninth.—And lastly and probably the most cone -hieing of,all is the fact that practically every farmer now using the silo would not do without It. When we can grow and store away for win- ter use a food that takes the place of our pasture, and that food can be raised on our farms at a less cost than any of our present feeds. the equipment for the storing of sueh feed should be installed ou every stork and dairy farm. Some people complain about getting their stuff into the waste basket. Suppose an editor, on any given date, should print the contents of thewaste basket remarks The La Fayette (Ga.) Messenger. What an interesting affair the newspaper would be the next day. Cppies of it would sell like hot cakes. In all probability an extra issue would have to be printed to supply the in- creased demand, says an exchange. Then the editor would suddenly find that his immediate presence was need- ed at a distant point—and he would proceed to put space between himself and his home as fast as steam and wheels could carry him. This might be absolutely necessary or highly ad- visable, merely. There would be a hurried rush for the office next day by subscribers who wanted to stop the paper. The circulation manager would have to employ an assistant in order to arrange properly the subscription list, that is, if any subscription list were ]eft. There would be various and sun- dry calls for the editor by parties desir- ing swift and lucid explanations. In. fact, there would be the deuce to pay all around. Few people are able to recognize the paramount importance of even so ap- parently unimportant an adjunct to a newspaper office as a waste basket. It frequently saves the paper as well as the editor from much humilation, and possibly annihilation. No well regulated newspaper office could get along without an active and well equipped waste basket. It is a most excellent balance wheel, so to speak, between the public and the newspaper and save many a situation that might be fraught with embrass- ment, and even serious consequences, if it were not for its willing service.

On many farms more horses are kept than are used for work during( the winter, and consequently they re-' ceive little grooming during the time they are in the stable. Their coater' become very thick and long. Whet; put to work they sweat profusely, and it is difficult to keep them dry and clean. Such horses had best be clip- ped. In will require less grain feed to keep them in condition, and they will' need muck less grooming. We al know how, disagreeable it would be' for us to perform a hard spring'e work with our winter clothes on. The work horse with his heavy coat is illi precisely the same condition. It is ai loss of time, money and horseflesh tol have drivers ` stopping to rest over- heated teams during the rush of spring work. The removal of dirt and the stimulation of the skin go far toward preventing harness sores. Next to snug, perfect fitting collars and well adjusted harnesses, spring clipping it! most essential.
