THE ROAD TO HE #LTH
Lies Through Riche Red Blood and
Strong Nerves.
Debility is a word that fairly expresses
Many ailmeuts under one name, Poor
biome weals nerves, impaired digestion,
loss of flesh. No euergy, no ambition,
listless and indifferent. This condition
is perhaps the penalty of overworks or
the result of neglected health, Yon
roust regain your health or puocumb eu-
tirely. There is one absolutely sure
way to do this --take Dr, Williams'
Pink Pills. These pills will bring you
new life, fill every vein with rich, red
blood, restore elacUsity to the btep, the
glow of health to the wan cheek; they
will inspire you with new enoregy and
supply the vital force of mead gen eetl;
'!hero is 1: A a ddihier Of the Civilized
world where Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills
have not brought health and hope and
happiness to some weak, debilitated de
despairiug person. if you have not used
the pills yourself, ask your neighbors
and they will tell you these statements
are solemn truth. Mr. Charles Saninier,
Corberrie, N. S., says: "I was very much
run down and so weak I could hardly
work. It seemed as though my blood
was little better than water, I tried
several medicines, but I got nothing to
help me until I began taking Dr. Wil-
liams' Piuk Pills. It WAS simply
astonishing how quickly these pills began
to help me and how much new life and
vigor they put iuto me. 'I am a cook by
profession, and the fact that I was able
to cook for fifteen men lost winter is the
best proof that the pills have made me es
sound as ever I was."
There is uo mystery about the power
of Dr. 'Williams' Piuk Pills to put new
,life and strength into you. They actu-
ally wake new blood, and that is why
they cure all blood diseases, like auaemia
indigestion, liver and kidney troubles,
headaches and backaches and the special
ailments of women, Through the blood
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed and steady
the nerves, strike at the root of nervous-
uess, cure St. Vitus dance, fits, ueural-
gia, sciatic and partial paralysis. All
these diseases spring from bad blood and
disordered nerves, and they have all been
cored positively and permanently by
Dr. Williams' Piok Pills. Sold by all
medicine dealers at 50 cents a box or six
le sees for $2.50, or by mail from the Dr.
Williams' Medicine Oo., Brockville, Out.
The Temiskamiug and Northern Rail-
way Commissiou that has charge of the
uenstrtiiction of the new railway that is
being construoted by the Ontario Gov•
erument through the Temiskaming dis-
triot, havesubmitted theireecoud auttual
report to the Legislature. Accordtug to
this report the total expenditure on the
new road thus far for construction and
equipment amounts to $2,020,092. The
read when completed will be 112 miles; in
length and the entire cost as estimative
by the Canines -fou will be 0,839,640.
This will j..... de construction and fall
equkrm" t It is a pretty heavy weight
for a single Province to bear but the
railway wi:l almost certainly prove a
vera valuable asset and it will open up
almost another Province which a few
years ago Was unknown. The country
thus opened by thin new road is aurally
known to be immensely rich in timber,
minerals aud those who have- explored
say there is au almost wnlimited supply
of pulp wood, which is becoming one of
the most valnable assets of the Province
The, a Is, also, a large area of lauds snit-
-able for agricultural purposes and these
are being rapidly taken up. Let this
road be finished and in working order
and the development of the conutry will
be amazing. The undertaking of this
enterprise is oue cf the many good things
for which the present Government are
entitled to credit. It is intended also to
extend it and make it a connecting link
witk the proposed Grand Trunk Pacific.
Wheu this is done the people of this
couutry will have better railway facilities
than the people of old Ontario had twenty-
five
wentyfive years ago. The commissioners also
state t.bat they are having the road cou
strutted in the most substantial manner
and with all the requirements of a trunk
line. •

End of the Tarte Myth.
(Montreal Herald.)
The results of the contested elections
in Quebec recently will doubtless be re-
garded as the moat importaut of all, not
;because Liberals seats have remained
Liberal, not because Qaebec still prefers
Laurier to all other, but because all
through the country Conservatives and -
Liberals, too -bad been led to entertain
exaggerated ideas of the prowess of Mr.
Tarte as a manager of elections, and
this was to be the first test of his ability
to wean Quebec from Laurier. One
gathers that in Toronto and other Ont-
ario centers, little attention was paid to
the Ontario bye -elections, all eyes being
turned in onr direction to see what the
mighty Tarte was going to do by way of
"delivering the goods." After the re-
cent voting there will probably be less
said about Mr. Tarte's ability to bring
the Conservatives back to power, the one
thing that made him valuable in the
eyes of tens of thousands who otherwise
have no love for him. Mr. Monk's ac-
tion in unmasking the situation brought
Mr. Tarte more prominently into view
than was contemplated for the time by
those who believed in his usefulness, but
the only consequence is to prove, now,
rather than later, that the tales we are
told of his power in Quebec are but so
many myths. If. it ever comes to a more
general test, it will be found that the re-

At abanquet held in Listowel recently
Mr. F. R. Bieavitt. Grand Warden. gave
the following particulars in connection
with the Independent Order of Oddfel-
lows:-
A little over four score years ago the
Independent Order of Oddfellows of
America was formed and started by five
then of Baltimore, Maryland, and the
two men to whom most credit is due and
given for its formation andsound
foundation were Thomas Wildey end
James L. Ridgely. On the 314. day of
December, 1902, the entire parsons be-
longing to the Order had reached the
magnificent total of 1,329,956; this in-
cinded about 800,000 ladies, Rebekah
Degree members, therefore the number
of subordinate lodge members, at that
date exceeded 1,000,000 and is expected
to attain the million and one half limit
by the end of the present year. The
total net increase or net gain in the mem-
bership during the year 1902 was 116,127,
or 387 members every week day.
The Independent Order of Oddfellows
in America paid out in 1902 about four
million dollars in relief -that is for re-
lieving brothers of the Order sick or in
distressed circumstances and in assisting
the widows and orphans of deceased
members -that is, about $11,000 per day
on the average is paid out by the Order
for these worthy purposes for which the
members pay certain annual dues which
entitles them to receive such benefits
when suffering from illness, etc., the
same as they would receive their just
wages when working.
Between 1830 and 1962 altogether the
amount spent fdr relief amounted to
$96,468,525. Notwithstanding this targe
expenditure the order is in excellent fin-
ancial standing, having invested funds

Salaries Paid in 1865.
This item is taken from the Stratford
Beacon of February 17th, 1865: -
We have just received the report of
the Postmaster -General for the nine

only now been issued. The salaries of
the several postmasters of the county of

The Trials, and Tribulations of `tie
Succulent Bivalve From the Time
ot Planting 5Jntil Ilii(( Appearance
on the Plehmonger't Counter.
There were about 000,000 of us when,
as tiny flakes of spawn -or "spat," as
the oyster spawn is called -we floated
out into the water one day on "the
flats,"
At first we were white and apparent,
ly lifeless, Then we turned gray and
finally black, At this stage we became
visibly alive. 1t'or several days we
floated, the sport of waves and tides,

to sea and so vanished; others were

gan instinctively to sink toward the

began again terrible destruc-
tion. Many fell on mud -the most fa-
tal thing a young oyster can do. These
perished at once. Others attached
ten :wolves to plants and weeds which
grow at the bottom of the sea, They
lived for :t time -so Iong at least as the
plant remained alive. Then, when the
plant died, they perished es well.
Fortunately for myself, I drifted on
a bit of "cultch"-that is to say, one
the old shells which the dredgers
id oyster men so carefully scatter all
ver the sea floor of an oyster bed. I

by I did this. 1 have since realized
tat it was because in that position I

and and grit which a rough sea some-
ines stirs up. In shallow water. I at-
iched myself firmly to my anchorage
f "cultch" and felt myself at last fair-
y started in life.`
Soon I noticed that every single mor-
el of shell or stone around me was
enanted by tiny oysters, all lying in
he same position as myself and all
firmly anchored.
There I lay, unmoving, for nearly a
ear. Food, in the shape of tiny ani-
ualculte, which an oyster loves best,
vas plentiful. When the water was
(lick with it, we all opened our shells
wide', and, making currents in the wa-
r by means of the tiny hairs which
ringe our gills and which men call our
beards, we washed the dainties into
our mouths. Our choicest delicacies

When I first anchored myself, I was
tut the twentieth of an inch in diame-
er-so small, indeed. that a microscope
would have been necessary to examine
me. At that stage my shell was per-
fectly transparent.
At the end of ten months I bad in-

'brood."
During all this time I had been learn -
ng many things. I found out that It
w•:ts necessary to close my shell tight
when dangers of various kinds threat
cued. when the tide was low or, in win-
ter, when frost was severe. You may
perhaps league that an oyster is a
creature of such low organism that it
cannot see or feel much of what is go-
ng on round about it. But you are
wrong. The mantle fringe of an oyster
is very sensitive. If you watched us
Eton] a boat in calm water, you would
scc that the mere shadow• of the boat
crossing an oyster bed will cause those
of us upon whom it falls to close onr
shells immediately.
It was necessary to be most careful.
Dangers were many and terrible. Sea
urchins prowled among us and de-
voured many. But of all our foes the
worst is the five angered starfish. One
of my sisters, anchored not a yard
away, fell a victim to this terror of
the oyster beds. It clutched her with
its long fingers. She closed her shell.
But the creature was not to be shak-
en off. Hour after hour it clung there
until on the second day after its first
grip she. poor thing, opened her shell
to get a mouthful of food. At once the
starfish injected into her a fluid which
stupefied her so that site could not
close again. Then the monster turned
itself inside out, shot itself into the
open shell and devoured her.
Then, one day n year after I had
floated. as "spat," Came a startling
change in my existence. Something
huge and heavy cane out of the shad-
ow of a boat above and approached,
rasping and grating along the bottom.
It was a great triangular dredge of
wrought iron. At the bottom was a
fiat bar with a blunt edge, t:nowht to
the dredgers as the "bit."
As the "bit" approached it sernned
the bottom of the sen clean. and tibxt
instant I. too, found thyself lifted and
dropped into the net. together with
hundreds like myself and a misceI-
Mueous collection of small soles and
other things.
One of the men sorted over the catch
and., having selected all the oysters
and spat, "shaded" the rest back into
the sea through a porthole.
I, in company with enormous quan-
tities of other brood, W(IS put into a
