Lincoln's Opinion of Marriage.
Abraham Lincoln once remarked that
every man about to marry should
stand over a doctor with a club and
make him tell the truth in reference
to tile- chosen partner for life it there
was no other way of getting it out of
him. Also that the parents who would
allow a girl to marry a man without
knowing, as nearly as could be known.
his physical as well as his moral con-
dition deserved to be scalped.
"The whole marrying business is
wrong," said Mr. Lincoln. "Fashiona,
ble girls have too often foolish moth-
ers, who care for nothing but to sell
their flesh and blood to the highest
bidder."

Deur Mrs. Main.pron.
There is generally somebodya lady
as a rule—in each district on whom
its finest Malaprops are fathered, some-
times quite unfairly. It is she who is
reported to have made that speech
about the glories of her father's house,
up to the door of which there ran a
"revenue of popular trees;" she who
asked her daughter to play that little
"malady" she had learned at the "cem-
etery" and she again who pronounced
Mr. Brown as "proud as Luther,"
while the tuft hunting Mr. Smith was
such a "toby" he deserved to be "tat-
tooed" at his club. Dear Mrs. Mala-
prop, what should we do without her?
THIS BUSINESS STEADILY CROWS.
We swing out into i9o5 with a determination to this year double the business of THIS
STORE. Nearly every day since opening our doors to the people of Wingham and surround-
ing country new customers have been welcomed at the Bee Hive and have become steady patrons
of Wingham's new, up-to-date Dry Goods and Men's F urnishings Store. Pleased customers -
are our best advertisers, and we now have so many of them that we feel confident the volume'
of business for 1905 will be double that of the past year.

"Yeast of the Ancients.
The yeast employed by the ancients
in making bread was probably of the
same kind as the Israelites of the days
of the great Pharaoh the oppressor
nsed, calling it "leaven." This was
what is known nowadays as a wild
yeast, its germs or spores being afloat
anywhere in the air. A bit of dough
was preserved out of each batch pre-
pared for the ovens, and when this
was added to the next dough the yeast
contained in it quickly spread through
the whole, only a little being required
to "leaven the whole lump."
Discouraged In Almsgiving.
"I suppose," said the plain person,
"you are often deceived b' apparently
deserving objects of charity whom you
quietly help."
"Yes, indeed," replied the great phi-
lanthropist. "It's just like throwing
money away. The very people you
think will advertise you most never
say a word about it."—Catholic Stand-

An Orangemen's Home.
Dr, Sproule, M. P., the grand master
of the 'Orange order, is about. to under-
take the establishment of a home for its
aged and infirm and distressed members,
and that the institution be called the
"Clarke Wallace Home" in commemora-
tion of the late Hon. N. Clarke Wallace,
M. P., who was at the time of his death,
and for many years previously, the
grand master of the order in British
1\' o rth America. The grand lodge gives
a first donation of 81,000 to the funds
a bout to be raised, and promises, fur-
ther grants. The provivcial grand
lodges of Ontario, the richest in the or-
der, will each probably guarantee $500
in one or two yearly installments, and
the other provincial grand lodges and
that of Newfoundland will also contri-
bute liberally. The individual mem-
bers will give contributions as they are
able.
The population cf Winnipeg is now
estimated at 95,090. The Federal census
of 1901 made it 42,340.
