Mr. Thomas Mackie, ex-M.P., died suddenly at Pembroke. Hon. C. S. Hyman has been appointed Minister. of Public works. February was midsummer in Brazil.: The heat this year wasgreater than usual. The present population of Great Bri- tain and Ireland is about forty-three million. In Spain street performers on the guitar are licensed, while organ grinders are rigorously suppressed. An old colored lady living in London, Ont., has taken an affidavit that she is 115 years old, being born in Virginia in 1790. She is a great -great-grandmother. Josephine Car, thirteen years of age, bas confessed to the murder of the nine - months -old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Murray, which was, stolen from in front of the T. Eaton store. The landing of the pilgrim fathers at Provincetown is to be commemorated by a monument two hundred and fifty feet high on High Pole hill which is in the centre of the old Cape Cod town. At an inquest recently the anaesthe- tist for one of the large London hospi- tals stated that he had administered chloroform to between 3,000 and 4,000 patients, and only one had died under the influence. >r At a caucus of the Conservative mem- bers of the House of Commons and Senate, held at Ottawa last week, it was decided to contest the approaching Dominion bye -elections in London and North Oxford. 0.he treaty between England and Thibet was written on an enormous sheet of paper as the Thibetans, for superstitious reasons, object to signing any document that occupies more than one sheet. At a Conservative convention On Sat- urday, Mr. J. G. Wallace, barrister, was nominated to cOnteat North. Oxford in the approaching bye -election. Mr, Wal- lace opposed the late Tion. James Suth- erland in the last two elections. The French government has failed in its contention that the grotto of Lourdes belonged to the State as part of the pro- perty of a congregation that has been dissolved. The cotirt at. Pau holds that the famous shrine belongs to the Arch- bishop of Tarbes. A medical journal says the nutritive valne;of',any fruit depends chiefly upon the starch and sugar which it contains. Dates, bananas, prunes, figs and grape. contain the most starch and sugar and therefore are the most nutritious foods. Cherries, apples, currants and straw- berries contain considerable vegetable acid, making them valuable. WEAK LUNGS' Made Sound and Strong by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. It your blood is weak, if it is poor and watery, a eonoh of cold or influeuza will settle in your lungs aid the apparently harmless cough of today will become the racking c(lusurpptive's cough of to- niorrow. Weak blood le an open invite - don. The gnly way to avoid c0nsump- tiou and to strengthen and brace the whole system is by enriohing your blood and strengthening your lunge with Dr, Williams' Pink Pills. They snake new, rich, warm blood. They add resisting power to the lungs. They have saved scores from a consumptive's grave—not after the lungs are hopelessly diseased, but where taken when the cough first attacks the enfeebled system. Here is positive proof. Mrd. Harry Stead, St. Catharines, Ont., says: "A few years ago I was 'mucked with lup - trouble, and the doctor, after treat]. ' mo for a time, thought I was going ' . to consump- tion, I grew pale and maoiated, had no appetite, was troub :d with a back. lug cough, and I fe that I was fast going toward the , rave. Neither the doctor's media n: nor other mediciue that I took see .. to help me. Then a good friend urg:d me to take Dr, Wil- liams Pink Pine, By the time I had used four boxes it was plain that they were helping me. I began to recover my appetite, and in other ways felt batter. I took six boxes more, and was' as well as ever, and had gained iu weight. I believe Dr. Williams' Pink Pills saved me from a consumptive's grave, and I feel very grateful." Now, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills build up the strength iu just one way—they actually make new blood. That is all they do, bat they do it well. They don't act on the bowels. They don't bother with mere symptoms. They won't cure any disease that isn't caused by bad blood. Bat then nearly all common dis- eases spring from that one oause—anae- mia, indigestion, biliousness, headaches, sideaches, baokaches, kidney trouble, lumbago, rheumatism, soiatica, neural- gia, nervousness, general weakness and the special secret ailments that growing girls and women do not like to talk about even to their doctors. But you must get the genuine with the full name, "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," on the wrapper around each box. If in doubt send the price -50 cents a box or $2.50 for six boxes, to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., and get the pills by mail postpaid. 1t1Difiie Se& Fish. A sea urchin, or a starfish, is able to get away from a spot quite nimbly, and the serpent stars, the most active members of the whole order, are capa- ble of using their lona, slender, many, jointed arms as legs and are as quick and alert as crabs. Snow Blindness. The native Tibetans escape snow blindness, as do the inhabitants in other' snowy parts of the world, by greasing the face and then•biackening the skin all around the eyes with a burned stick. Lover's Sacrifice. W. Russian, suffering from a weak chest, was obliged to grow a very long' beard. Unfortunately ho fell in love with a damsel who refused to marry bine unless he became clean shaved,. Anxious to please her, he agreed to the sacrifice, and the wedding took place. The nest day he caught cold and died of pnfkumos1:, . dIYIIIIIN11111111111111111111111111h11111IIIII Itdn1111tIIIli a11WIW111111IIIIII111111111111111111111111111111111111IIIIIIIIIIIIIelllltrumn111 1111 111a;plll1111 pmEum ularomme rma. $1.00 Bound Trip GODERICH to DETROIT TUESDAY, JUNE 20 Return Thursday, June 22 STeAMFR GREYHOUND Two Days la Detroit F„ H.

THE BEE HIVE THE KEELER CO. Scraps of Philosophy. , Charity begins by getting a contribu- tion out of the other fellow. A woman can whine away a man's love surer and quicker than any other way. If a woman can't find anything else to be jealous about she will be it over an old pipe. When a man is generous to a fault, it is generally His own fault. --New York Times. Next to fooling a man the easiest thing for aagirl is to make him feel sure she is not. By some future railway genius the re- cords will all be broke, he'll invent a noiseless whistle and discover smelless smoke. A girl can change a name she doesn't like whenever she pleases by marrying, but a man is stunk to his hard and fast. Pointed Paragraphs. (t'roin the Chicago News.) Men who go to law are sure to get satisfaction—if they are lawyers. All women are born reformers and they want to begin on some man. A woman's favorite writer is a husband who is capable of writing checks. An Irishman says that being an ancient must have been a healthful occupation. A man may be as honest as the day 15 long and still have a bad record at night. Many a man who says he has great presence of mind manages successfully to conceal it. A man in trouble is apt to discover that his friends are not as friendly as they might be. About two-thirds of the people who at- tend church can't tell an hoar later what the minister talked. about. Iceland seems to be hardly as desti- tute of trees, as some suppose, an old idea being that it possesses only a single tree. An investigation has shown that the island really contains woods having various trees of considerable size and that the climate is not unfavorable to tree growth. ' Surely the most curious present ever given td anybody was that made to an elderly Welsh couple in Kentucky. John Williams and his wife celebrated their golden wedding and among the presents received from their friends was a, tombstone with their names beau- tifully engraved on it. There were blanks left for the dates. The Battleford Times warns its read- ers that the railroad is only a few miles away from the town, and implores au- thorities and citizens to put down side• walks,plant trees on the streets, and set out gardens. "Blossoms," sage the editor in an aesthetic rapture, "are the angels of the plant world. who does not feel better spiritually after travelling in the fragrant scent of a well -kept garden' And yet we say the west is rough, raw, and democratic!
