Mr. Allington, who was engaged by the Model School Board as principal, found it impossible to come and Mr. 0, D. Bouch of Morrisburg has now been engaged and will arrive in town about the 20th. Wednesday morning about 9 30, while Mr. Thos, Britton was clean- ing out the dryer of the gas producer at the waterworks plant, in some man- ner be was overcome by gas and fell into the dryer. Engineer East heard him fall and at once rang up the town hall, asking for help, and by the time Constable Welsh got there, several employees at the stone crusher were assisting in trying to get the un- conscious man out of his perilous position. Drs. Gaudier and Worth- ington were called and worked over Mr. Britton for over an hour before removing him to his home, where he suffered several days from the effects of the gas. It certainly was a• close call. Mr. John Hartley, who has been conducting aSummer Model School at Gore B ky, Manitoulin Island, dur- ing the past month, returned to town on Monday. Mrs. Hartley was with him part of the time, re- turning to Wroxeter about a forts night ago. Mr. Hartley enjoyed the experience as a summer holi- day but thinks the Island rather too remote from civilization to be desirable for a permanent residence. 4r. and Mrs. Hartley are busy pack- ing their household goods this week and will visit friends at Wroxeter and that vicinity before leaving about Aug. 2 M for their new home at Vanleck Hill. Their many Clinton Friends sincerely regret their removal from town. :pan's Finances. - According to well informed econo- mists the total income of Japan fig- ures out at about $23 per capita, while taxes on this income, including those payable to the national treasury, as well as providing provincial and municipal taxation, comes to about $1 40 per capita. Deducting the taxes the net income of each Japanese amounts to $19 per year or $1 50 per month. Of course, the well-to•do pay proportionately larger taxes and thus lessen the burden of the poorer clas- ses, yet the fact remains that Japan pays nearly 20 per cent of its income in taxes. Notwithstanding conditions Japan is mapping out a campaign for the construction of warships to exceed the American navy and t hould this be decided upon the internal conditions must become worse, The Empire bids fair to furnish the first example of how a mad race for military suprem- arty brought about the ruin of a na- tion within the lifetime of a genera- tion. WOOD cul- verts are un- sightly, dangerous, expensive, s iii o r t w lived. Which kind of a culvert does your waggon cross OLS the road you use pass over rickety, dangerous wooden culverts, that are con- stantly in need of repairs and often washed away entirely? Or is it carried safely across the low places by modern, everlasting culverts? Build your CULVERTS Or CONCRETE which not only cannot be washed away, but actually grow stronger with age and use. Every farmer owes it to himself to insist that the money he pays for road -taxes be spent to the best advans tage. As a ratepayer, he is entitled to the best roads that Can be made with that money, SV'hch culverts are washed out, and the road rendered impassable, he not only suffers inconvenience but may also be causal financial loss by inability to get necessary supplies in time for spring plants ing. And at best, with wooden culverts, part of the money that should, be used to make better roads must be spent every year for repairs.

A recent despatch from MVlanzanilo, Mexico, says—"An official investiga- tion into the claim that Jose Calavaria, who died a few days ago at Tuxpan, was 185 years old, has been made, and it is announced that it was fully established by church records that he was born in 1727. During a period of more than 75 years before his death `he was known to the people of the town where he lived as the oldest man in the world. He was active in getting about the streets until a few days before his death. Poison Ivy Remedy, Following is an antidote for skin poisoning by the poison ivy or poison oak, given by a man who has experi- mented with it repeatedly, and with entire success. He guarantees that by its use relief will be experienced in a most irritated case within half an hour ; that, all discomfort and irrita- tion will have disappeared within twelve hours, and that the complete cure will be accomplished within twenty-four hours. In the first place, specific warning is given against the application of water to the irritated parts. If they are dirty, dirty they must remain ; for water seems to eat very unfrvorably upon the affected suryfaces. Into a four -ounce bottle pour bicarbonate of soda until it reaches from an even half to au inch f t•om the bottom. Then fill the bottle with ammonia, and shake until the soda is entirely dissolved. The solu- tion may then be applied to the irri- tated parts. If used on the face, great care must be taken in approaching the eyes, as mach pain will result should the liquid get into them. A soft, small cloth should he used in applying to the face. As to the frequency of the application, discretion must be used. Three to four applications dur- ing the day is advised. • •o. • I /,1 .� CONCRETE culverts a r e neat, safe, need no repairs, and are ever -lasting. • *r • ,>~ ".. r` .Y* At'•.

Charlie Bangs, senior at B. univer- sity, was walking across the campus, thinking about his commencement ora- tion on the influences of the Greeks and Rtomans on modern civilization, :when be was recalled from the ancients to the present by a melodious feminine voice saying: "Can you direct me to David Bar- ton's room?" Charlie's cap came off, and be stood at polite attention, peering Into two liquid brown eyes. But before he suc- ceeded in making a complete shift from the forum at dome to the campus on which he stood the owner of the e3 es continued: "1 suppose it's all right for n girl to go to a student's room it she's his cousin, isn't it ?" "Certainly." "There's another thing. i're never seen Dave. l wouldn't know him, and I might—well, I might think some one else was Ire." 'rite student was by this time on the campus of the college talking to a pret- ty girl hunting for tier cousin. More- over, he was in possession of the Pact that she wouldn't know her cousin from Acliun. Now, an idea occurred to Chariie that would not likely have oc- curred to any one but that Indescrib- able personage, a college student. It hung on the tip of his tongue for a few moments, then went forth: "You are" -- "Mary Mills." What did the scamp do but give her a smack! "You don't mean that you are Dave?" "Singular. isn't it, that we should have met in this way, right here on the '_. s /L t, v MIEN snr REAMED THE. APPOINTED PLACE Sills k'UL:ND HIM WA.IT1NG, ennipus?

"Ever so titbit " Now, David Barton was Charlie Ito egg' chum, and vice versa. David mid kw!, en light in one of those boy- ish a so dear to the college student and so annoying to the faculty and had been the ciay before sent to a neighboring village to rusticate for the resl oI tneademk' term. In this view of the erase his ('hunt's action toward the c•onsin tmci t;unie pa I ha tion, for Iiiit•it1 had not reported his esc•aiucde and c•onseeneat ritinisiinieiiI to hiiti {bar sifts and progiosed, if possible. to keep them its ig;ticarahee of both, This would have been a strive to Charlie's con selettre it IIP had had tory eOiIScietrt'e In such a matter, but since he had not no salve was needed. Nevertheless he had a double reason for foisting him- self on Miss Mary Mills as the real and only Davit] Barton, her mother's sister's son. In the first nlac'e, it gave him pleasure: In the second, he wished to prevent the young lady going back home and giving away the Net that David was persona non grata within the college precincts. Charlie felt, as he expressed it after. wards, like a Canadian boatmen steer• lag a canoe down a rapid. Tile avoid- write of giveaways required the exer- cise of hiS wits. Had it not been that he was in h position to break the thread of the dialogue whenever he chose he would ira t'o been overturned a doz- eh times. When the young lady began to speak of person he should have known nit stunt—certunly his own fattier and tnotlrer-he would raft her attention to a dormitory presented to the college by a member of the class Of '87, or a clock tower in memory of a mon to '05 who died while at college, or a library building erected by sub - Cats, Cabin Passengers. Two Siamese kittens had a iirat cabin stateroom all to themselves from Holland to this country on the steamship Rotterdam, which docked at New York Monday. A deok stew. arcs and a dining room steward serrv. ed the kittens their meals. They were brought over by Mrs. A. Bars de Eleots, tts a/ present to Miss Louise Grace, daughter of Nem:,York's form. or Mayor, seription of the alumni. When they were in the anatomical ix.useunl and she asked him a question .about "oat grandfather" he pointed to a skeleton of an orang otftang standing beside that of a man and headed her off bey saying: "Look at his gapes." "Whose bones?" she asked, smiling "Certainly not those of our grand to Vier, for I saw hltn alive anti well fa wk ," ""ee1 u)lagoaan the prang outang. I'll bet you can't tell which is the ape and which is the man." taut ebe could and did, and by this time she had forgotten all about their grandfather. In this way he avoided the rocks, and the further be went the safer wais the course, because he was all the while picking up bits of information about the family into which he had so such denly thrust himself and after the first hour felt as well able to stand an ex amination oda the subject as in certain studies In which he was not especially proficient. Moreover, he found Miss Mills a very delightful companion, and since she was very well pleased with him she could not well help showing it in her manner, When noon came tie took her to the university "chophouse" and gave her a delicious lunch, then left her, saying: "I'm going to get my chum's auto mobile and show' you the country roundabout here. He's away this aft. ernoon and kindly permits me to use his machine whenever he doesn't want it himself." "What's his name?" "Charlie Bangs." "Oh, I've often heard different mem- bers .of the family speak of Charlie Bangs. They say he's awfully nice," "He's surely a good friend of mine.. Just ypu walk up College street to the main gates and I'll meet you there." He kept his word. Indeed, when she reached the appointed place she found him waiting for her. Then they spun away over the white turnpikes, fields of ripening grain on either band, now plunging through a forest and again darting over a bridge. "I do think, Dave," exclaimed Miss Mills enthusiastically, "that this is the most delightful day I ever spent in my life. I never dreamed that when I came here for a day with you you would be so good to me." Charlie's response was demonstra- tive. He put an arm around his cont• panion's neck, then drew her to blur ant] gave her a kiss. "Don't do that," she said. "Why not?" "Somebody who don't know we're cousins might see us." In this way the afternoon was pass• ed. So absorbed were the two in each 'other that when Miss Mills asked the time great was her consternation to learn that her train had been gone half an hour and there was no other till late at night. Here was a quandary. The distance was but twenty miles, and Charlie could take her there sooner than a way train, but bow could he do su without the risk of being seen by some one who knew David t3artoh? This would uncover his deception and put him in a position dreadful to con template. But there seemed no other way to get his companian home, and he desired expressly to. prolong the ride. So he concluded to take the risk at least to make a start and trust to his wits to leave Miss Mills before he should meet any of her relatives. He told "his cousin" that he led the regular Saturday evening prayer moot ing of his class and would be obliged to give an excuse fcor hot tieing on hand. Be couldn't very well say that he had unexpectedly been obliged to take his cousin home, for students are so accustomed to the "sister and cons in racket" that they would not believe a real Case like the present ()i.e. pie couldn't possibiy lie out of the matter owing to the tenderness of his con science. The ouly plan he could think of was to drive her to a point where she could take a trolley and leave her Miss Mills declared that not for worlds would she inter'fer'e with tris prayer meeting engagement, though she had never heard that he was espe daily given in that direction. So they whirled thirty miles instead or twenty, going over the two sides or a triangle instead of the hypotenuse, and drew up beside a trolley ear just starting from its terminal on Hs inward run Charlie took one more kiss the couldn't help it) at parting, though there were persons in the car. "Why, Molly!" exclaimed a lady be• side whom she took a seat.. "What are you doing here?" "Oh. I've been th the college. spend ing the day With my cousin, t)ave liar ton. i've had a beautiful time." "I think you must have had a beau Will time. Who was that young fellow who kissed you wt,ea you left the an tomobiie'1'" "Dave." "Dave who?" "Why, Dave Barton, of course." "IFm!

"No." "For heaven's sake, who is her' "Why, doti't you know Darer "No; I never saw him. I've only been In this part of the country rt month." "Is that young Minn a student Y "I suppoee so.
