The progress of wireless telegraphy bars just been wark4'.d by tho lana tallaaa- tion of a station et Coltano, in Italy, which ie capable of transmitting and receiving messages to and from ten thousand miles or more. It le the moat powerful station yet constructed, and the.calculation of its range le based upon the fact that the Transat- lantic station. at cmraen, in Ir eland, which has, a considerably lower power, recently succeeded incommunicating a message to Buenos Ayree, 7,000 miles distant. The importance of the de- velopment is emphasized by the pros, pact that higb.power etations are shortly to be opened asst Cadiz, Barce- lona, Teneriffe, and Las Pelmas, at which both internal Spanish telegrams and external telegrams will be worked, and that these stations will immedi- ately open services with Italy and with England and other countries. The Coltano station was inaugurated under the personal direction of Mr, Marconi, Its available power is 1,000 kilowatts, as compared with Olifdetee 500 kilowatts, and it is expected that. the projected South American stations will be in communication with it. An interesting incident prior to the opening of the Coltano station is re- ported. Mr. Marconi desired to coin- inunicate with the Marconi stations at Clifden, in Ireland, and Glace Bay, in Canada, and accordingly sent tele. grams to those stationsrequesting them to tune up and be prepared to communicate with Coltano s,t a given hour. Later in the day, however, a telegram was received by Mr, Marconi informing him that histelegram bad been received, but was unintelligible owing to the storm. Whereupon Mr. Marconi decided to call both Clifden and Glace Bay by wireless, and at four o'clock sent a message from Coltano to Clifden, and received the immediate eeply ; 'Your signals are strong and. readable.' With Glace Bay (Canada) equally satisfactory communication was at once established. BLIND KITTENS AND PRAYER. Walter T. Hall of Pasadena, Cal., sends -us the following, as reported in a Los Angeles paper :— la a small religious circl"', recently, some devotees of the new faith. known a aas "Divine Healing," were congregat- ed to exchange confidences and to encourage the weaker ones. A young girl, whose earnestness was els pro- digious as her experience was limited, stood tip and gave to the assembly this unique revelation of the efficacy, cif healing by faith and prayer. "A sad thing happened at our home het month," she told them. "My tabby cat, Nina, had five of the prettiest kittens you ever saw, but the poor Iittle things were all born blind. Of course I felt sad about it, but here f thought is a chance to apply th principle I have learnt from the teach- ers of Divine Healing. So I started in to pray for those poor little kittens that their eyes might be opened. 1'ar three days I concentrated my thoughts on thin affl%cted family and prayed for their delivery from this undeserved misfortune.' At first not an eye opened and I noticed that the poor neither cat was growing thin with care and anxiety. however, I remembered that we had been taught to '►elieve that only persistent prayer ,oral unwavering faith can prevail. ;till believing, I continued to pray, and praying. to believe, until at last-. wows you credit it?—my prayer was heard and one fine morning, I found that happy family of kittens with their eyes all opened—nob• one blind rine was left ----and to-dev they are as bright and active as ar:y kittens born with all their senses. I shall never more doubt the truths of Divine Heal - other Heal- ing nor practice any method in case of sickness for myself or for these belonging to me in years to eome." Comment le unnecessary. This A Good Pig. Mr. Richard Boyle of Alma, last Friday killed what he calla a "little pig," about nine months old, which be got from Mr. Coffee about the first of Ames When kilted and dressed, the porker weighed. 400 lbs., and when hung up he lacked only 2 inch( a of be - log 8 feet from 'tip to tip.

Practising physicians making a specialty of stomach troubles are really responsible for the formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. are made. We have simply profited by the experience of experts, Our experience with Rexall dyspep- sia Tablets leads us to believe them to be an excellent remedy for the relic f of acute indigestion and chronic. dyspepsia. Their ingredients are soothing and healing to the inflamed membranes of the stomach. They are rich in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive aids known to .medicine. The relief they afford is almost im- mediate. Their use with persistency and regularity for a short time helps to bring about a cessation of the pains caused by stomach disorders. Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets aid to 'in- sure healthy appetite, aid digestion, and promote nutrition. As evidence of our sincere faith in Rexall Dyspep• sial Tablets, we ask you to try them at our risk. If they do not give you entire satisfaction, we will return you the money you paid us for them, without question or formality. They come in three sizes, prices 25c, 50e ax.d $L00. Remember, you can obtain them only at our store. The Rexall Store. 3. W. 1.c li;i bbon, Sawdust Bread. There is a large bakery in Berlin, Germany, that turns out 20,000 loaves of sawdust bread daily. The sawdust is first subjected to a process of fer- mentation and various chemical mani- pulations. Finally le is mixed with one-third part of rye flour, formed in- to loaves and baked in ovens like any other bread. Although this new "Wooden bread," as the .french call it, is meant for consumption by horties only, claim is made by the manufac- tures that in case of famine it would furnish a nutritious and highly satis- factory food for human beings. Tee difficulty in Canada, is—that timber is getting scarce and even sawdust is not as plentiful as it once was. FOR AGED PEOPLE. Old Folks Should Be Careful In Their Selection.

W. bisitibbont WHO'S WHO IN CANADA COL, IIUGJ,IES The brilliant Irirth-Canadian Colonel needs 'little in tho way of intro- duction to a Canadian audience. He is known of practieally all men, ether by personal contact or by tales of a somewhat lengthy roll of exciting and daring experieuces, by flood, field. and battleground. , When the Colonel wag baptised tar Darlington, Co. Durham, Ont., on r" January 1853, he was of course plain "Sam", and with a familiar disregard of the military title to a very largo pro. %4s«,s ..4portion of hie~ ,+ ,� ,�; countrymen lie still `fr - k 4 �' 3: continues to. be "Sara", and is lilte- ly to so remain to the end, Col* Hughes comes. of a d flghtIni stocic,. g000f a blend of several kinds of fighting progenitort indeed, and this may account tot many things that have outcropper during his days on earth. Foi the fatb.er of the Colonel wag a County Tyrone man while or the maternal side he has the advan. tage of a Scots -Irish -Huguenot des, cent, a combine that could nog fail of good results. Educated al the public school, and following, it turn, to Toronto. Model and Normal School, and Toronto University, he subsequently held until 1885 the po- sition of Lecturer in English lan- guage., Literature and Hetsltory in To- ronto Collegiate Institute. This latter doubtless proved -a trifle slow for a young Than of his ancestry, and as the initial break for something of u more stirring nature -- and usually a very sure one, — he waded into journalism,pal;rchasing the Lindsay "Warder", which he engineered for a dozen years. But of course the Irish - Scots -Irish -Huguenot blood of hien had not been content to remain at zero all these years. On the contrary the martial . spirit was in outward evidence when he had reached the not very mature age of fourteen, at which time he became a member of the Active Militia, For a time, however, military honors do not seem to have appealed with any sort of conviction to soldier Ilughes, for he turned down the offer of the office of Deputy Minister of 111ilitia in 1891, and of MX -General for Canada in 1895. But the fates were strongly in antagonism to the military abfli'•ties of Mr. Samuel Hughes being hidden away under the garb of an ordinary officer of Militia, and in 1891 he was prevailed upon to accept the appointment 01 Lt; Col. commanding the 45th Battalion and took part shortly thereafter in the Queen's jubilee celebrations, In course of a stirring life, the Col. has found time to be president of the Dominion Rifle Association; President of the Small Arms Committee, Chair- man of the Board of Visitors for the. Royal Military College at Kingston; Railway Intelligence officer on Head- quarters' ,staff, and owns a medal won in active ,service during the Fenian raids in 1870. The Colonel Is not with those who would fain stand aloof from the military work of the Empire, On the contrary, as early as 1872, and on various.. occasions since, he has Leen a strong advocate, and has made re- peated personal offers, of Colonial military assistance to the Empire ht Imperial wars. Individually also, he made offer to raise a corps of capital Can add an fighting men for the Egyptian and Soudanese Campaign, the Afghan frontier war, and the Transvaal war, while in furtherance of his Imperial ideals, he, in 1897-98, visited Australia and New Zealand to help urge the assurance of a Colonial line-up when the old lion at home was threatened with attack. His activity in the South African war will be green in the memories of most Canadians, and the notable appoint- ments during that strenuous cam- paign. as Chief of the Intelligence Staff to Inspector General Settle and 'subsequently to General Sir Charles Warren, are eloquent testimony that the c. r is I n brittensfighting il line Tc ar e ready to recognize ability.

It is the wise cow keeper who works against such a eituation by growing some kind of soiling crop. There aro few few farms, however, where fodder corn is not available, and there is no better time to make use of this. feed than during the season when pastures are abort and cows aro drop- ping off rapidly in their milk flow. If a temporary Iola la the amount of milk for market was the only cone sideration it would not be such a serious matter, This Is not the attua- taion, however, A cow that decreases greatly in the milk flow because of scarcity of green feed at this ttnxo of the year cannot "come bank," The. fall sagas bring an abundance of green feed later on, bort the cow is not in a position to make a profitable use of it unless her milk flow hart. been kept up during the dry period. SIR WIL `RID LA'QRIEIL FROM FARMER'S SON TO PRIME MINISTER„ PBESERYIIaTGi EGGS. This is the time of year when eggs may very profitably be stored away fol' use six and eight months front now when the production is light and the price correspondingly high Eggs will keep fresh for six weeks or two months if merely packed in dry salt and stored in a cool cellar. They may be kept in splendid condition for a much longer period, if, when fresh, each one is given a- coating of some material that will stop up the pores of its shell and thus prevent entrance to its interior of air and the microbes which effect decay. White vaseline has often been used very successfully for this purpose. But the cheapest and best preservative of this nature is water glass (silicate of sodium). If bought in five or ten gallon lots, of chemical firms or wholesale drug- gists, water glass should not cost more than seventy-five cents per gallon. If bought of the local drug- gist In one gallon lots it will cost the purchaser e1° to $1.25 per gallon. One gallon will provide solution sufficient to cover and preserve sixty dozen eggs, With pure and recently boiled water, dilute to ten gallons ono gallon of the compound sold at the drug t, tore under the above name, .cool, pour into earthenware Jars of convenient s:ze, and the preparation is ready for use. Take the eggs fresh from the nests, pack them in this solution and keep in a cool cellar.. They will Leep in good conai,ition without further ate ti- tian at least until after the usual period of scarcity and consequent high prices next winter. Mewing Submerged Weeds. Many of the lakes and creeks of Oerreemet are so aaffectted bythe growth of weeds in the shalower waters as to interfere seriously with the catching of fish by means of nets. In order to clear the marshy bottoms of vegetable growth a weed -cutting apparatus has been invented. The apparatus consists of a boat on which is mounted a frame bearing at one end a sot of knives like those of a mower. The frame issomounted that it may be swung to the bottom of the lake and then the knives are operated by means of a hand wheel to cut the weeds. The boat is usually propelled by means of long polos. By operating another hand wheel the frame may be lifted out of the water and swung into position. TIIE F IItMEE'S CREED I believe in being a son of the soil, and in earning bread by .the sweat of my brow, always performing uncom- plainingly my share of this world's labor, I believe in living a true, spot- less life as inspired by Mother Na- ture; in winning good neighbors by being one myself, and in being chari- table toward the unfortunate with the same kindly spirit that the hand of Providence has dealt with me. t be- lieve that honest, unselfish motives will win honest reward, and that the pre. tiso of the Golden Rale will give to .rs all a square deal and tho corn. forts of life and peace.
