MAIM usual length of the session, but made no reference to the Gamey case, which was the chief cause a,f the prolongation, 'Isis honor referred to the consolidation of the municipal euactneeents, the amend- ments, the educational act,tho estalilisll- rneut of a board of education in 7.'oronto,. the municipal power enactuaeut, the house of refuge. act, and tbo amendment of .thejudiciary act. He referred with special pleasure to the itnprovemeut at transportation facilities, as shown by the unusual number of charters granted for steani.a;iclelectrical railways in dif- ferent parts of the province. These fa- ditties and the measures for impsove- tueut of highways would add to the comfort and convenience of residents in rural districts. The Bobcaygeon Independent gives this advice to the farmerspf Ontario:— ."Don't involve yourself in debts on the hope of good sales in the fall. Avoid signing notes as yon would the devil. Don't be inveigled by glib -tongued agents to buy things you can do very well without. The country is full of mon preying upon the farmers --imple- ments, pianos; societies,company stocks. pictures, sewing machines, books, every conceivable scheme to get the farrier to Sigh notes. Learn to say no, positively, emphatically. The good times are not to last forever, and if the agricultural slumpthat must come sooner or later should catch the farming community heavily involved with these notes, the smashing of a few loan companies and brokers will not be a flea -bite compared to the disaster that is meant by au in- volved farming community practically under suspension." NOTES AND COMMENTS That the North Grey election petitio against the return, of Mr. A. G. MacKa may be fought out to the end is the effect of a judgment given by the Court of Appeal on Monday. Hen. Mr. Latchford's bill for granting to the *e,auada Central Railway Com- pany 7,4)5 acres of lard per mile of the company's line of railway from a poiut let the head of deep water navigation on the French River through the town of Sudbury to a point in the Township of Hutton a distance not exceeding 70 miles, was passed by a vote of 57 to 13 in the Legislature ou Friday. Mr. Wh' .. ney and the majority of the Opposition voted with the Government. Mr. Petty piece voted with the Opposition min ority. After engaging public attention fo over fifteen weeks, the Gainey case pass- ed on. Friday from the domain of cur- rent happenings and became a chapter of provincial political history. The Legislature, by a vote of 41 to 37, car- ried both the Premier's motion for the adoption of the commissioner's report, and Mr. Rickard's amendment censur- ing Mr. Gamey for his personal conduct in the case. The Liberal members stood nobly by their honored leader, as they have stood all through, and the Govern- ment stands to-dav vindicated of the vile charges made against it three months ago. PERSONALS.• CHURCH NOTES. The Tams goes to press too early this week to secure a report of the ordination aarviees held iu the Baptist church. cin Tuesday evening. Rev. Ii. Hobbs and family left on Wednesday afternoon for their new home in. Strathroy. Dir. Hobbs leaves a host of friends in Winghatu who will wish him success in his new charge. Mr. Sand. E.

Miss Tena Robertson is spending a couple of weeks with friends in Hamil- ton. Mr. Gordon Griffin, of Guelph is pending his holidays at his home in town. Mrs. A. C. Chapman and child are visiting with relatives and friends in Woodstock. It is not surprising that, after such a e defence by the Minister accused, Mr. Lucas, the legal member from Grey, found it difficult to reply. Next in in- terest to the able speeches of the Pre- mier and his colleague the Provincial Secretary, was the address of Mr. M. G. Cameron. Mr. Cameron discussed the appointment of the Jadical Commission, its conduct of the case and its finding in a masterly way, and then devoted half an hour to general observations in a style that entitles him to rank as one of the bast parliamentarians in the house. It was a forceful and brilliant speech which drew upon the new member for West Huron a shower of congratulations from the Liberal members.—Woodstock Sentinel -Review. The Legislatare was prorogued at noon Saturday by Lieut. -Governor CIark who arrived promptly at 12 o'clock, accom- pahied by Commander Law, Col. Otter, Lieut. Allan Magee, and Lieu a g , A. D. C.

The Anglican ''Synod of Huron, which met at London recently, was the largest, in point of attendance, for some years.

WESTERN EAIR, LONDON Canada's Premier Exhibition Will Show the Country's Unexampled Growth. • The combined victories of peace and commerce in this third year of the new century are destined to illumine the brightest pages of Canadian history. Prosperity is abroad in all the land,from acres vast and plentiful, and from min- ing fields both east and west comes the harmony of buoyant progress. To few will be granted the inspiration of wit- nessing the activity of the east,the west, the north and the south, but to all is open the opportunity of seeing the sum total of Canada's current development summarized and represeuted in the great Western Fair to be held at London, Sept. lith to 19th. Do not be the one to miss it. The footsteps of the exhibition manage- ment never did lag. No sooner were the gates closed upon the last fair than the Directors commenced broad liberal plan- ning for this season's show. Splendid fea- tures of unique interest have been thought out and beneficial ideas devised for rendering the exhibits of the main building and other departments even more alluring than ever before. The Art Gallery will be particularly attrac- tive and the competition in the different classes unusually clean. Details are being perfected for displays of machinery and agricultural imple- ments that cannot fail to illustrate the latest creations of inventive genius as applied to farm cultivation, Manufac- turers on this and the other side of the line will be present to demonstrate the merits of their respective machines, and when it is said that the Live Stock De- partment seems bound to excel last year's success no further words are needed. Farmers and breeders interest- ed in thorough bred animals cannot afford to neglect this all important part of the Western Fair. The list of special attractions has not been completed as yet but those already selected anger well for Vile ooAtinued triumph of the-ring,Autl platfQrM.event i, Watch for the readers and advertise- ments to appear in this paper later on and remember that the Western of 1903 will out shine alt its glorious predeces sons. Prize lists and all information may be had for the asking. Misses Edith and Mildred Beemer are spending a month of their vacation with friends in Exeter. Mr. Wm. Scott, of London was in town for a couple of days this week visiting at the home of H. B. Elliott. Mr. W. Walker, of the Dominion.

Mich., who is visiting her parents in town, is spending a few days this week with her brother, Mr. Jas. Wilson at Balsam Grove Farm, Culross. Mrs. D. Small and family left on Mon- day afternoon for Cornwall to join Mr - Small, who has a situation in the funri- tare factory in that town. Mrs. Wm.

J. and Mrs.Irwin and daughter leave on Saturday of this week on a trip through Manitoba and the West. They expect to be gone until the 25th inst.and we wish them a pleasant trip. Mr. W. J. Greer returned last week rom Winnipeg, where he was in attend- ance at the meeting of the Grand Orange odge of British America. During his trip west Mr. Greer visited various parts of the wt extern province, and states that the prospects were never better for an abundant harvest.

Strong and skilled as western ath- letes are, there are some respects In which the athletes of rite east, and es- pecially those of Persia, surpass them. Their skill is due to the fact that they do not rely on brute strength, but on adroitness, which they have ac- quired after years of strenuous train- ing. They know the function of every muscle in their bodies, and they are not regarded as experts until they are so well trained that they can perform with ease any feat which depends for success not only upon their strength, but also upon the proper play of their muscles. They are not as bulky as some of the well known athletes of Europe and America, but', on the other hand, their bodies are wonderfully symmetrical, and all their movements are most graceful. In wrestling and swinging clubs they especially excel, and, no matter how expert they may be, not a day passes that they do not practice for several hours. Reed Enjoyed H. Thomas B. Reed was once the victim of a printer's error the unusual aptness of whicb, after the first flush of indig- nation had subsided, appealed so strong- ly to his sense of the comic that he never failed to refer to the matter with the keenest gusto wwbeicever he met the man whom he, with the utmost mock solemnity, always held responsible for it. The late Colonel John A. Cockerill's handwriting in the heat of composition was sometimes liable to lose itself in an almost interminable tangle, deci- pherable only with the greatest difficuI- ty. On one occasion he undertook to say that "any one can see Tom Reed has the face of an honest man," but was horrified when be opened his paper the following morning and found that the types made him say that "any one can see Tom Reed has a face like a harvest moon." 3 Wonders of the Haman Heart. The workings of the human heart have been computed by a celebrated physiologist, and he has demonstrated that it is equal to the lifting of 120 tons in twenty-four hours. Presuming that the bleed is thrown out of the heart at each pulsation in the propor- tion of sixty-nine strokes of nine feet, the mileage of the blood through the body might be taken at 207 yards per minute, seven miles per hour, 108 miles per day, 61,320 miles per year, or 5,150,000 miles in a lifetime of eighty- four years. In the same period of time the heart must beat 2,869,7 7 6,000 times. WINGRAM MARKET REPORTS Wingham, Jnne 30, 1903. Corrected every Wednesday afternoon by Cassels & Carr.

A "sadiron" is the style in which the common flatiron is spoken of in print, says the Syracuse Herald:, "Sad" is an old English synonym for heavy, and Spenser wrote, "More sad than lump of lead." A "sadiron" was a heavy Iron and long ago was applied to the flatiron now in common domestic use. The tailor's "goose" was so called because the handle bears a fanciful resem- blance to the neck of a goose.
