NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A reeepti et is to ire t +u'lered R. R.
G.uaey in Om Massey Steele Iila11, To-
routo. on May 30 by the people of Ou-
taria "who appreciate the great service
he has rendered the Proviuce." Gamey
has helped to stir up the dirty pool of
Ontario polities and to dentoustrare that
there were varieties of filth a't•l stench
hitherto udsuspected; whether or not
that was a great service to the Province
is merely a matter of "opeenion," as
"Posty" would say. - Woodstock
Express, (Con.)
The ItTe's iu, B.C., Tribune, owned
and edited by s Conservative member of
the Legislature, decl Cres that there
should be no >uetione opposition to the
Grand Trunk Pacific. It says: "The
building of the Grand. Trunk Pacific)
ander the agreemeut entered into be-
tween the D,)miuiou Guvernnteuc and
the Grand Trunk Railway Company is
a step m the direction of Goveri melt%
ownership of railways. The step might
have been R longer oue, but great re-
forms or chen'ges are not brought about
in a day. The people of British Colutn-
bia should be a unit for the speedy build-
ing of the Grand Trunk P.teifio Railway,
and the political party that opposes its
speedy building will go down to defeat,
as it should. A little of the leaven of
Western. Canada Conservative journal-
ism would do a gogd deal of good in Out •
arid.
Because the total expeuditnre of the
Customs Department last year was $1,-
230,000, whereas in 1805, last full year of
Conservative rule, it was $900,000, the
Minister of Oastoms is accused of hay-
ing "added enormously" to the cost of
the branch of the public service over
which he presides. But the gross Cate
toms reveuue iu 1895 was $17,900,000;
whereas iu 1903 it was $37,000,000, the
lower Liberal tariff y ieldieg vastly more
than the high Conservative tariff, be-
cause of its making trade flow
freor and iu greater volume, and of the
increased purchasing power of the peo-
ple under the improved taritl conditions.
Naturally the Customs Department, like
the bauks and the bnsiuess establish-
ments of the country generally, needed
a larger staff in 1903 than in 1895. It is
to be observed, however, that while in
1805 the cast of collecting every $100 of
the revenue was something over $i, the
cost in 1903 was less thau $3.50. -Strat-
ford Beacon.
The Globe in discussing the rem Irk -
able statement of Mr. Dunlop, M. P. R,
North Renfrew. of persoual expenses
amounting to $7,278 in the recent bye -
election in that riding says: -"Never
was there in the history of either Pro -
admits' or Dominion Parliatueut a list of
candidate's expenses approaching, such a
figure. Hon. E. J. Davis' bill of about
$1800 for the Iast election is probably the
next largest, but looks a mere trifle in
comparison. Still, when the prepara-
tiontt and the campaign of the Couserva-
tives in North Renfrew are cousidered,
it is evident that Mr. Dunlop's modest
$7,278.19 did not begin to cover the
Cost. From the moment that the seat
became vacant Mr. Dunlop was in. the
field, as candidate, touring the riding,
is large one, from end to eud. Mr.
Robert Birmingham and his staff were
present to assist, and the campaign went
on for a year and a half. A steam
yatch ran up and down the river ali
summer, and numberless carriages and
sleighs were in use during auseasonable
weather. Fivalfy for a month before
the election, the riding was flooded with
speakers, organizers and canvassers.
All this cost money -much more prob-
ably. than the statementublish
p ed by
Mr. Dunlop.

BLOTCHY SKINS.
A Trouble due to Impure Blood
Easily Remedied,
Bad blood is the oue great cause of bad
complexion and b.utchy skins. This is
why you must attack the treble througll
the blood with Dr. Williauls' Pihk Pills.
.A11 blotches, boils, ulcera, pimples anti
paleness are the direct, unmistakable re-
sult of weak blood loaded with impur-
ities, Dr, Williams' Pink Pills conquer
the poison; they olive opt all the len nri•
ties; they actually wake new, rioh red
blood; they strike right at the root of all
complexion troubles; they are a positive
and permanent cure for all virulent skin
diseastes like eczema, scrofula, pimples
and erysipelas. They give you a clear.
clean sett skin, free from all blemish
and full of rosy health. Mr, Matthew
Cook, Latnerton, N.W.T., tells how Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cured him of ery-
sipelas after other medtoiues had failed.
He says: "My skin was inflamed; my
flesh tender and sore; my bead ached;
my tongue was coated; I had chills and
thought I was taking fever. T tried
several utediciues,' but nothing helped
me until I began axing Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills and drove the trouble from my
system, and I am now in the beet of
health, I think these pills the best
medicine iu the world for blood trou-
bles."
It is an every tiny record of cures like
this that has given Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills their world-wide • prominence.
They cure when other medieiues fail,
but you most get the genuine with the
full name "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People" on the wrapper armed
every box. You can get these pills at alt
druggists, or by mail at 50 cents a boz,
or six boxes for $v.50, by writing The

A wouderfal difference could be made
in the appearauce of the country if each
farmer would spend a day or two in the
spring, clearing up the roadside along
his farm. And this is improvemeut, too,
which well pays for the labor. A farm
which is neat and tidy in its approach,
is worth more, and will sell .for mare,
than a farm alongside the roadside of
which there ie rubbish, fallen limbs,
stones and clumps of weeds. Farmers
should plaut trees along the roadside,
outside of the feuces. If the farmers in
a district will make united efforts along
these simple lines they can effect aston-
ishing improvements in the appearance
of the country inside of a few years.
They should do it, too, as a matt( r of
duty. The pioneers, their forefathers,
have done the heavy work of carving
their homes, their successors, now in
somewhat easier circumstances, should
willingly take up the pleasant labor of
beautifyiug the country.
BATHROOM iN THE FARM
•
HOUSE.
A lady subscriber to Green's Fruit.
Grower asks for information in regard
to putting in a bath room in a farm
house, This is, replied the Fruit -Grow-
er, a pertinent question. There is no
place where baths are more frequently
desired than on the farm. The men free
quently follow the harrow or other
tools through dusty fields, or stand be-
fore threshing machines or fanning
mills, or do other work which covers
them with dust. The work also causes
profuse perspiration, thus making the
bath necessary, both to comfort and
health.
My plan is to have a tank in the attic
or at some elevated point in some room
so the tank will be alittle lower thau
the roof, that the water from the roof
gutter can be carried directly into the
tank. I once had such waterworks as
tins looatod in a fine brick house in Ro-
chester before the Rochester waterworks
were established. The tank was of
wood lined with lead, with small com-
partment at one end for hot water. The
rural bath room tank may have cold and
hot water, or only cold water, as desired.
Any plumber can construct a bath in a
room below this tank or water supply
without difficu.ty, with every conveni-
ence that you can afford, just the same
as though you had the waterworks with
a forceful supply as in cities. It will be
i necessary to have the tank in a room
i that will not freeze during the coldest
I weather of winter. My hoose being of
1 brick, and being heated with a furnace.
the task never froze, although there
was no direct heat in the attic. On
many farms there aro springs or wells
on hills that can be brought down to the
house with enough force to supply the
bath room with water for the tank as
specified.

One of the Unique privileges to be en-

tirtnoutf size attraets great attention.
It is located near the sontheasteris cot.

Keep the 13,tbutce up,
It has beau truthfully said that any
disturbauee of the even balance or health
causes serious trouble, Nobody can be
tno careful to keep this balance up
When people begin to lose appetite, or to
get tired easily, the least imprudence
briugs on sickness, weeklies:, ordebility.
The system needs a'tquie, craves it, and
should not be deuced it; and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hoo'd's Sarsaparilla, What this melt
Dine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives it the same distinction as
a preventive that it enjoys as a nnre. Its
early use has illustrate.$ the wisdom of
the old saying that a stitch in time saves
nine. Take Hood's for appetite, strength,
and endurance.
Umbrella Language.
There is a language of umbrellas as of
flowers, Place your umbrella in a rack
and this will indicate that it will
change owners, An umbrella, carried
over a woman, the mau getting nothing
but the drippings of the rain .signifies
courtship. When the man has the um.
b:ellaand the woman the drippings it,
iudicates marriage. To swing your um-
brella over your head signifies, "I am
making a nuisance of myself.' To
carry it at right angles under your arm
I signifies that an eye is to be lost by the
man who follows you. Opening an um-
brella quickly it is said will frighten a
mad bull. To put it cotton umbrella by
the side of a silk one signifies, "Exchange
is no robbery." To purchase an um-
brella means "I am not smart but hon-
est." To lend au umbrella means, "I
am a fooI." To return an umbrella
means -well, never miud what it paeans,
nobody ever does that. To carry au
umbrella just high enough to tear out
men's eyes and knock off men's hats
signifies, "I am a women." To press an
umbrella on your friend, saying, "Oh,
do taste it, I had much rather you would
than not," signifies lying. To carry it
from home in the morning menus, "The
rain will clear off." -Exchange.

Ottawa, May 2. -Considerable in-
terest is taken in the bill ititrodticed
in the Senate, with the sanction. of
the Dominion. Superintendent of In-
surance,
rsurance, for amending the iesurauco
law in such a milliner as to allow
the Mutual Reserve Life lnsuruncc
(Company, or any other corporation
similarly situated, to protect its
Canadian policyholders during Inc
process of changing its mode of in-
surance from the assessment to the
legal reserve or old-line system. The
Mutual •Reser ve was founded on • the
assessment plan, which broke down
in the course of years owing to the
constantly growing burdens which
that plan imposes on policyholders.
About this time, too, differences arose
atnougst the head oLl.elal8, and
charges of various kinds were made
by one of them against the rest.
'1'4e company thus found itself in a
bad predicament. New managers
took hold, however, and the concern
has now been placed on the legal re-
serve basis. The charges were in-
quired into by the insurance depart-
ment of New York State, where the
company was incorporated, as well
as by the Attorney -General of that
commonwealth, 111SSa
groundless. The SenateacrddiSYis ittteted'estedS
in protecting the Canadian policy-
holders, who were insured on the as-
sessment plan. Their insurance,
which amounts to about $8,000.000.
will be lost through their inability
to pay the steadily increasing. pre-
miums unless the scheme embodied in
the present bill is approved by Par-
Ilament , as it has already been by
the Dominion Superintendent of In-
surance. The Senate will doubtless
pass the measure, in order to allow
the company, which is no Longer in-
suring on the assessment principle,
to save the Canadian policyholders
from disaster.
Canadians Riven Preference.
An attempt has been made to show
that the Grand Trunk Company are
giving a preference to United States
engineers in the survey parties thee
are .sending out. It appears from
inquiries made, however, that 96
per cent. of those engaged arc Cana-
dians. Of course eolupetent Cana-
dian engineers are not to be nicked
up at every crossroad, but the com-
pany say they give them the prefer-
ence as far as possible.

The Minister of Marine has cabled
to Lord Strathcona that if the con-
ditions for the purchase of the Gauss
are not complied with the 870,000
deposited to the credit of the Ger-
man G overnment in Berlin, will be
withdrawn, and Capt. Bernier and
his men at Bremerhaven recalled.
The negotiations for the purchase of
the Gauss were made through Con-
sul -General Bopp at Montreal. The
latter understood that $5,000 of the
$75,000 purchase price would be re-
tained until it had been ascertained
whether the Gauss came up to re-
quirements.

Hospital and other institutions of
the kind, and the bed industry was
one of those he established at the
