THANKSGIVING DAY.
This country hue a good deal to be
thankful :to Diviue Providence for; The
absence of plague. pestilence .Rud famine
-the presence of peace, plenty and pros-
perity; national bb wince of every kind
-individual benefits without number;
for what ills we are saved from and
what beneficence we are vouchsafed,
"may the Lord melte ns truly thankful."
The institntiou of a day of general
Thanksgiving becomes a Christian
people. It is time we do not all formally
"observe"the day -in its devotional as•
pests, we mean. It is a holiday, a day
of :est iu the Fall season, a day of
amusement, perhaps, we make it.
Nevertheless, it is known tous all as.
Thanksgiving Day and the •term . carries
its deeper tiguitieauce into most hearts.
Man is esseuttally reverential. The
idea of God is innate in the lowest type
of the human race. The more we ad-
vance in true civilization,. refinement
and intellectual growth, the clearer be-
comes our view of the spiritual and the
deeper our ineisrht into the wysteriee of
our creation and preservation and of the
Divine economy in general. We may
not all alike ceremoniously •manifest
appreciation of Gad's goodness; but
there are other than ceremonious ways
in which to praise the Giver of all Good
and thank Him heartily. We can best
show our love of God by displaying our
love for our, fellow man. Thanksgiving
Day should fled us ready to help others
less fortunate that ourselves. to imbibe
the spirit of the occasion .and . se .contri-
bute to "That righteousness that ex-
alteth the nation."

• NOTES AND COMMENTS.
EVENTS OF PRFYIQ%J&
ELEQTIQNS.
1867-74he fi,ret general election for
the Dominion took glace to the months
of August and September, the ,syetetu
of simultaneous elections not having
been established so that date The ce+n•
tral issue was the eudorsetnent of the
onion of the provinces. Sir John Mao
donald's that federal miuistry was own -
posed of, both Liberals and Conserva-
tives, and, therefore, party lineawere
not strictly adhered to in any of the
Provinces. Most. of the Liberal leaders
in old Canada, while opposing Sir John,.
favored the onion, so that there wee uo
effective gipoeitiote All the province'',
except Nova Scotia, gave largo ntajnri•
ties for the wiuistry. Sir Charles Tup-
per was the only governmeut supporter
elected f. rom Nova Scotia, the others all
being pledged to break up the union.
Reports received from the Department
of Trade and Commerce np to Sept. 80th
show a large increase in the number of
licensed grain elevators throughout the
West. There are now 822 elevators and
warehouses, with a total capacity of
41,196,000 bushels of grain, as against
the 682 elevators and warehouses holding
50,859,440 bushels in existence a year
ago. The C. P. R. has increased the
number of its elevators in the West by
141 and the Canadian Northern has 27
more than it had in use the previous
year.
Sir Frederick Borden, Minister of Mi-
litia, has a majority of 1,700. Hon.'Sid-
ney Fisher's majority is 868. These are
the two ministers on whom Dundonald
and those who used him as a catspaw
made a dead set. The Ottawa Citizen
led in that warfare, and the Ottawa
heelers sought to present Dundonald as
a martyr and to glorify him for partisan
purposes. In Ottawa the two Liberal
candidates were elected by majorities of
1,471 and 1,328 respectively. Dundon-
ald as an election issue is dead.-Hamil.

Among the Liberals of Western Ont-
ario there will be genuine regret at the
defeat of Dr. P. Macdonald of East
Huron. Dr. Macdonald was one of the
ablest men in the House, and had the
promise of the Speakership. This is a
distingniiihed position, and carries With
it a salary of $4000 a year, in addition to
the ordinary indemnity of $1500. He
was an experienced politician, had held
the riding for a great many years, and
was one of the best posted politicians in
Canada. He was a fluent speaker, too,

way. It is said that he was defes Led by

McCarthy and other influential Cotner -

United. States of a very high tariff
against Canadian products. The pre.
Inter issued an address to the electors,
appealiutr to their loyaltty to British
ooutteotion, and argued tbat eudors-
meat of nnrestriotod reoiprooity would
weaken the impede! tie The ministry
was sustained by a mall majority, the
two central provinces. of Ontario and
Quebec being about 'equally divided.
Sir John Macdonald died in 1d91 and
Mr. Abbott succeeded him as premier.
1896. -The gradual disriiption'of the
Conservative party was the outstand-
ing political feature during the sessions
which followed the previone election,
The death of Sir John Thompson, who
succeeded Mr. Abbott as premier,
brought Sir Mackenzie Bowel' to the
premiership. At .the same time the
awkward question of the Manitoba
schools came up,. and the government
decided to order the restoration of Sep-
arate schools in that province. The
dissatisfaction. amongst the members of
the Bowen miutstry oulmineted in a
revolt whioh led ultimately to the beleo.
tion of Sir Charles Tupper as premier.
After a stormy session :during whioh
the goverumeut failed to pass a remedi-
al order iurposing separate schools on
Manitoba, parliament dissolved by
lapse of time and the ministry went to
the people unprepared and much shat-
tered. The result was a decisive vic-
tory for the Liberal party and Mr. Laur-
ier formed hie first ministry.
1874. --The Macdonald cabinet re•
eigued in November, 1878, after the
storwieat year and a halt in the history
of Canadian polities. The Pacific' scan-
dal charges, which were made in par
lbi hent by Mr. Huntiugdnn, declared
that immense stuns of money had been
drawn by Macdonald and Cartier foil an
election fund from Sir Hugh Allan,
who was promised, and who subsequent-
ly obtained the presidenoy of the com-
pany chartered to build the Canadian
Paoific railway. The impassioned ef-
forts of Sir John to clear himself of the
charges and to retain his hold upon his
party were ineffectual. Thousands of
Conservatives throughout the country
either voted Liberal or refrained frtnn
voing, and the Mackenzie government,
.whioh secured a dissolution a few weeks
after Sir John's resignation, was trinm-
phautly sustained at the polls. In the
first session there were scarcely more
than 45 opposition members pledged to
vote Couservative.
1878 -The depression in trade which
prevailed throughout the world caused
the opposition to espouse protection, or,
as it was called, the National Policy.
The Mackenzie government stood by a
low tariff of 1734• percent, and took its
stand on modified free trade principles.
The government, through Hon. George
Brown, had attempted to negotiate a
reciprocity treaty with the United
States, lint unsuccessful. The minis-
try was weakened by the withdrawal of
Hon. Edward Blake, one of its most
talented members, and the action of one
of its former members who had become
lieutenant -governor of Quebec, namely
M. Letellier de St. Just, in dismissing
the provincial ministry which had a
largo majority in the legislature, arous-
ed great ill -feeling in Quebec province.
The result was that the Conservatives
won the election by a handsome ma-
jority.
1882. -The establishment of a highly
protective tariff and the passage of an
act insuring the construction of the
Canadian Pacific railway were the prin-
cipal measures on whioh the' electorate
had to pronounce at the dissolution in
June of 1882. Mr. Blake was leader of
the Liberal opposition and led a power.
ful party. The government had redis-
tributed the constituencies on lines
favorable to the Conservative party in
Ontario, and they parried that province
triumphantly. The government seonr-
ed a large majority and many leading
public men, including Mr. Huntingdon,
Sir A. S. Smith, Mr. D. A. Macdonald,
and Mr. Mills, were defeated.
1900. -The events whioh followed the
accebbiou to power of the .Liberal gov-
ernment were a marked revival rn trade,
`a vigorous prosecution of verions public
works, a revision, of the tariff on moder-
ate lines, and the establishment of a
preference for British goods whioh
proved highly popular. The Ministry
also evinced a desire to promote closer
imperial relations, and in the war be-
tween Great Britain and the Boers in
South Africa sent Canadian troops to
assist. Although a strong agitation
was conducted on this question with a
view to weakening the ministry in both
Ontario. and Qnebeo, the elective prov-
ed favorable to the Government, except
in Ontario, where the Conservatives had
a large majority..
1881. -The events preceding this die•
solution, whioh took place in February,
were the violent scenes connected with
the Biel rebellion, the rise of a race and
religion ory m Quebec, under the de.
erasion in trade which set in about
1885. The government once more ap-
pealed to the protection sentiment, and

They lost a good many seats in Quebec
owing to the ''Mel agitation, but their
hold in Ontario was strengthened, and
in the rest of the Country they held
their own. After the election,' Mr,
Blake resigned the Liberal leadership
and Mr. Laurier was selected to succeed
him.

FALL CLEANING THE'ORCHARD.
ANEW IP A,
Tonle Treatment for .ladigestlon-
New Strength toI' the Stomach
from New Rich Red, Blood.
The Touiii Vestment -toot is aha
latest only seieutlfiu cure for iudigestiuu.
All the leading doctors of Europe nod.
America aretieing it with "sensational
success. No more purgatives, no more
pepsin, no more patent foods, uo more
long diet lasts sayuag "Thou shalt not
eat this or that." No more of all this
nothing, fu foot, bet plenty of new,
pure riob blood to tune the liver and give
the stomach streugth for its work.
That is the Tullio Treetmeut far In-
digestion.
Much can be said in favor of an an-
neal fall orchard cleaning, although
many of our fruit -growers are indiffer-
ent in this matter. Aside from the fact
that there is more leisure after the fruit
has been gathered than in the rush of our
early spring when so many odds and
ends must be attended to, there are
many argent and convincing reasons
why our orchards shoald be very care-
fully cleaned of rubbish and litter dur-
ing the late fall and early winter.
People often wonder how it happens
that certain insects appear in such
alarming numbers during the summer.
A few careful observations during the
fall and winter will show how these in-
sects pass the cold period df the year.
The egg masses of the tent caterpillars
will be found encircling the smaller
branches. If these bracelets of eggs be
removed whenever seen, mach serious
injury will be averted the following
aping. The canker -worms pass the
winter in the egg state, and these eggs
are often to be seen in masses on
branches. The • coddling -worm passes
the winter in a cocoon, udder bits of
bark, boards, and in crevices, and a gen-
eral clearing will get rid of many of
these troublesome pests. The grape.
vino flea -beetle and the plum curculio
pass the winter in their full grown beetle
condition in sheltered spots, often near
the base of the,plant. Squash -bags also
winter over full•grown in sheltered spots,
under boards, and in corners of outbuild-
ings.
The tonic treatment is based en the
new idea that drugs which digest the
food for the stuataon really weaken its
powers through disuse. The digestive
organs cau never do their work properly
until they are strong euongh to do it for.
themselves. The only thing that can
give the stomach and the liver new
strength is good blood -and the, only
thing that can actually make new blood
ie Dr. Williams' Piuk Pills for Pale
People. They have long been known
as the ' greatest blood -building toufo iu
the world, aud.all the highest medical
authorities agree that the Dile suientlflo
cure for indigestion is the. Tonto Treat-
neut. The marvellous success of the
treatment has been proved in every Mor,
uer of the Dominion Ope of the latest
witnessed is Mr. Joseph Ruoliette, St.
Jerome, Que., who says: "I simply
hated the thought of fund Of course
I bad to force myself to eat, but after.
wards I always suffered with dull, heavy
pains ip the stomach, I seemed to be
bilious as well and this caused severe
hea'daohes, which farther aggravated
my unfortunate position, I grew pale,
fell away in weight and the trouble
seemed to be uudermining my whole
constitution. I tried several remedies,
.but without success; a doctor whom I
consulted advised absolute rest, but tote
was out of the queetiou as I had to work
for nay living Fortunately for me, one
of my friends adivised me . to try Dr.
Williams' Piuk Pills, and I decided to
do so. After taking fbe pills for several
weeks there was a decided improvement,
iu my condition. Not only was my
digestion better, but my general health
improved in every way. New blood seem•
ed to bei ooursiug through my veins,
bringing new health and strength every
day. I took eight boxes 'of Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills altogether, and those
who see me now never know I had seen
an unwell day in my life. I owe my
splendid health to these pills, and strong-
ly advise every dyspeptic or weak, per-
son to lose no time in taking them."
Mr. Roohette's statement is a strong
tribute to the Tonic Treatment: Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills cured him because
they actually madenew rich blood for
him. These pille go right down to the
root of the trouble in the blood and euro
that. The new blood they make carries
healing health and strength to every part
of the body. That is . the new Tonto
Treatment, and the highest medical
authorities now recommend ? this treat-
ment for all the common ailments such
as anaemia, headaches, backaches, rheu-
matism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous.
nem. dyspepsia and general weakness.
These are all caused by bad blood and
therefore are All cured by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills. You can get these pills from
any medioine dealer or by mail at 50c a
box, or ell boxes for 12 50 by writing to
the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock-
ville, Ont.
There is also a necessity for a thorough
cleaning npef the orchard for the pur-
pose of destroying many of the fungi
which remain en the ground in diseased
leaves and fruit. It is a well-known fact
that many injurious fungi produce winter
spores, and though the leave' decay, the.
spores do not. In early spring these will
produce spores which will soon spread
to the early leaves. The diseased fruit,
planta, and leaves, should be burned, not
thrown on the manure pile; for then the
spores will be able tosurvive the winter,
adll.rep4•odnoe the elleellse the lottowing

in the leaves as delicate threads, which

dace spores which are Noon blown by the

If may be safely said that if all leaves,
decaying fruits, and diseased twigs be
'nrned at the Approach of winter, the
damage from fungous diseases would be
lessened very materially.

SPOILED A DUEL,
The Schema Mesta. toetor Tamar Works&
to Prevent an gnooaater.
During the course of a heated debate,
once in the house of representative,
sharp words were exchanged between►
a congressman from New York and one
from. Mississippi. A challenge was de.
Retired, and accepted, end es' both were
courageous and detet`uiined a bloody
Meeting .seemed imminent, 1i'rlende in-
terposed, but in vain. Both men were
resolute, and. neither would yield to the
suggestion of an amicable arrange-
ment. As a last resort Senator Lamar
was called. into save the situation. He
realized Wet' no ordinary • methods
would serve his purpose, and so re,
sorted to strategy. The principals u
the proposed duel are still living, so I
will call the New Yorker Jouee and the
Mississippian Smith,
Senator Lamar called on the New
Yorker, apd after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said:
"Jones, I've come here to do you s
friendly turn. I know that you anti
Smith are determined to fight and that
nothing will stop you, I have not come
.as a mediator,. but simply to mitigate,
if possible, the horrors of a fatal end,
so far as you are concerned. As to
Smith, I have no fears. Ile is a dead
shot and can take care of himself, biL
he Is not an unfeeling man, and is in-
clined to respect any partiality yots
may have in favor of any particular
part of your anatomy. Some men en-
tertain a mortal dread if being dis-
figured after death, and if the choice
were left them would5j refer not to be
wounded in the eye or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, if there is any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smith's bullet enter he has commis-
sioned me to say that your wishes will
be respected."
This extraordinary proposition, stag-
gered
tatgered the New Yorker. Even LIs un-
doubted courage did not stand so se-
vere a test, and be paled visibly. After
he recovered his composure he replied -
that he would, confer with. his second,
and Mr. Lamar. after an impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends of the
principals and new negotiations en-
tered upon. The duel did not come oft-`
Lamar's device had succeeded.
TIME FOR SCOTLAND.
Bail on One Hill Drops. When Cannons
on Another Ir Tired.
"Speaking' of clocks," said the travel-
er, "Edinburgh, Scotland, has the most'
interesting time marking device I ever
saw. The city lies between two hills.
On one of these, known as Carlton hill, '
there is an observatory tower, in the
top of which n large black ball is sus-
pended. Across the valley, probably a
"mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
of the large guns in this fortress, point- .
ing toward Cullen hill, is electrically
connected with the ball in the tower a
mile away. Every evening at 6 o'clock
the gen Is fired, and at the same mo-
ment the ball falls. The device seta
the official time for all Scotland.
"It is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous Sash of the gun on Castle
hill and the fall of the ball close at
hand, while the roar of the gun is of
course some moments 111 crossing the
valley. On the other hand, it is equal-
ly interesting to stand beside the big
gun .at dusk to watch the ball at Carl-
ton hill fall just as the shot is fired.
I recall once standing in the courtyard -
of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon just overhead to be
'fired. It occurred to me it would be
tnore exciting to watch the crowds of
passing people, especially since not
one was apparently thinking of the
shot from the cannon. When the roar
took place, absolutely without warning,
hardly a yard above the heads of the
crowd, the scene well repaid ' my wait-
ing.
aiting. Everybody dodged. Children
screamed, and men and women jumped
to the side of the wall. Of course it
was all over in a second, but in that
moment it seemed that an electric
shock had passed through the crowd?
Malice and Superstition.
In the middle ages malice and supers
stition found expression in the forma-
tion of wax images of hated persons,
into the bodies of Which long pines were
stuck. It was confidently behaved that
in that way' deadly injury would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super-
stition indeed still holds its place is
the highlands of Scotland, "where,"
says a Well informed writer, "within
the last few years a clay model of an
enemy was found in a stream, having
been placed there in the belief that as
the clay washed ‘away so would the
health of the hated one decline."
Trees and Wind.
When one travels througk'the parte
of Belgium bordering on tihe., sea he
sees a . striking example of the influ-
ence on trees of strong and constant
winds. The trees are in general bent
toward the interior of the country. It
Was proved some time ago that the
trunks of trees hurled in the peat
bogs of Holland all lie in a southwest
to northeast direction.
