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." ts, • 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. ton Times. 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, and was an honor to shedding in every way. It is said that he was defes Led by the C.P.R. influence. -Walkerton Tele- , scope. BRONCHITIS iI a • AND ASTHMA. 1872. -The Macdonald government appealed to the country in Juue. Dur the five preceeding peace it had lost some of its moat popular members. It bad to face the repeat movement in Nova Scotia, the school question in New Bruuswiok, and the ill -feeling 'avowed in Ontario by the Washington treaty of 1$71. The absence of Sir john •Mac- 4ouald in Washington daring one whole session of parliament, while the treaty was being negotiated, alse greatly weak- ened the ministry, The ministry pulled .through by a narrow nu►jority, but was defeated in Ontario, and its bold. upon. the whole country was shattered.' ;WHETHER it is the Wheezing and desperate struggle for breath so characteristic of asthma, `the Soleness, tightness id the chest .". *t4 aoiigbiisg:of_bronehtt 8taor itttrkifig' coeghh. `stoup, DR.

McCarthy and other influential Cotner - 'time members from Sir John Maodon-' a,ld'a party, and the passage by the. 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 although. • D. Blake, the , opposition fider,:in A pecebri ,Malvern,,:aooeptdd the existing tariff to a modified extent, the government were again fsucoesefnl. 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. 1891. -AS Sir john Msodonald was growing Old, be determined to berry en the general election, which *Mitred fol' IStaroh, 1891, There had been a strong agitdttiou. for free trade With the United Settee oondnoted both by the Liberia: oppostbfOn And by some Conservati a el who were alarmed et the growing de- nteselea tar trade, Other events which 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 deacon,. ,,Moreot'er,,many fungi ,persie4 in the leaves as delicate threads, which deveitlpl rapidly in the spring and pto. dace spores which are Noon blown by the wind to the leaves where they' gerfnin• ate and prodttoe disease, 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.

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. Cutting Hien oft: "You?" snorted Mise Sharpe. "Marry YOU? Why, you're only an apology fox a man." - "But," protested Mr. Small, '*)ii will not"- "No; ot""No; I will not accept the apology."a tine of the many ithings children este. bet Understand .ls Why steam people emend so much time looking at bookie that have tie pietti'res in thein.
