Pummel en Alin Puovntleron THURSDAY, JULY' 6, 1005. NOTES eND .7,0MMee.NTS. Oa Saturday lest Canada celebrated the beginning of the thirty-ninth year of its existence as a Confederation. Happy on the whole has that union been which our forefathers effected and happier still, let as hope, are the results that future years hold in store, A rather peculiar point of law is be- fore the courts at Osgoode Hall for decision. It is that of whether pro- perty accumulated after a will has been made may be included in the estate of which the will disposes. W. H. Smith, of Brockville, made his will some years ago. After doing so he bought consider- able more real estate. He died recently. His sister, Mrs. Margaret Kerr, is now claiming that a clause in his will, in which is the phrase "alt of my estate," oovers the point and includes his later acquisitions. The International Sunday School Con- vention, which met ia Toronto the past week, in deep import and far-reaching consegnences, was the most interesting of assemblies. Its decisions affect the moral and spiritual welfare of millions. The work of religious instruction is the most worthy that a man or woman can engage in; its rewards are the moat sat- isfying. Moat of it should be done by the parents in the home. Under present day conditions the Sunday School is a most valuable aid. Its possibilities are not yet fully understood by the churcb.es. When they are there will be a great awakening. MIND AND MATTER. *rte,r,ofe "NOW be sure aud get meat* fflonr." "An right, 1 won' s forget." Then the fanner jumped op hie wagon and Breve clown the laue to town. It was a tete:toile trip, and after he bed made his purchases be drove over to the grist DIM and got the flour. "That's fitae-lookiug flour," said good wife, as she opened. the sack. "Oh, he's a good miller," was the She baked in the morniug, and the baking was spoiled. It had been years since anything late that had happened to W. Something was wrong, "Tom, tt must be something in the flour," she said; "you had better go back and change it for another sack." the re A deputation representing the County Councils of Perth, Wellington, Oxford, Waterloo and Brant waited upon lion. Mr. Hanna and Hon. Dr. Resume last week and asked that the Government assist them to meet the cost of erecting a sanitarium for indigent consumptives, The proposal is that the five counties shall put up suck a building for their joint use and maintain tt jointly, at some central spot easily accessible from all the counties. Under the act passed in 1900 municipalities erecting suoh institutions are entitled to a grant of $4,000 from the Government, to be applied to the cost of the buildings. Thus, if the counties named built separately' they would re- ceive in the aggregate from the Provin- cial treasurer $20,000. LACK OF COURTESY. He was an obedient husband, apd the next day a neighbor went to town, and as he had some other purchases to make he went with hint. Going to the mill, he took in the sack, and said; "Say, Bob, I've brought back this flour. lfy wife says it's not up to the mark." Bob looked at the flour and thought a moment, and then said; "Yes you're right, but just wait a minute till I take this sack out and bring you in another one. I know what's the matter; this other one will be O. K." The Wallaceburg Herald gives editor- ial prominence to the following letter it received, and as the grievance com- plained of is not cenflned to Wallaceburg it may do good to pass it around. "Will yon allow me through the col- umns of your paper to draw the atten- tion of the parents and, teachers of the town to the lack of courtesy and consid- eration exhibited by the young people who attend our public school. I often meet a bevy of young girls who walk home arm in arm. I am forced to get off the walk, or to be guilty of the ungentle- manly act of bunting into them. The young ladies are doubtless only thought- less, but they should be taught that others have a right to be on the earth. The boys are worse in their way because they use the walk as a race track and think nothing of running against any one who is in their way. I would also re- spectfully suggest that the teachers might profitably give a few lessons on street etiquette. Judging from appear. ance only a fevr know which side of the walk to pass when they are kind enough not to push one of altogether."

Then taking the bag to the rear, he emptied it out into another bag, and add- ing a little fiour to make up the original bag full he returned with the same flour. "Your wife will liks that," he said as he dumped it into the back of the wagon. "I hope so," was the reply. "Bob's a square head, ain't he?" said Tom to his neighbor. "Ain't he, though?" was the answer. The next day they baked; everything tared out to the Queen's taste. "I knew it was the flour," said the good wife, as they gathered around the table and demolished the edibles. "Did you have any trouble at all with Bob to get him to give you the new flour?" "Not at all; Bob is a good head." "Indeed he is." A month later Bob told Tom the joke. The other lady of whom I write is an impressionable little creature, with a very vivid imagination. She is the victim of her nerves. Her husband has tried everying that he can think of, for she continually de- clares that she is not fit for anything but bed and rest. This husband is well acquainted with a physician of some repute, who in addi- tion to his medicines, uses healing Bug- geStionS. He is a hypnotist, although he does not claim to be. To the physician he told the story of his wife's trouble. It was arranged that he be invited over to the friend's for dinner some evening and converse with her off guard. This was done. He quickly decided that the principal illness was from imagination. Using good common.senee, he turned the conversation to nerves and nervous- ness. "My Wife is very nervous," said the husband. "Indeed?" was the reply., "I do not speak as a professional man, but as a friend of yotir husband," said Dr. Blank, "but I have through a secret source teaseled of an infallible remedy that came from the mystics of India." To be brief, this infallible remedy was given the next night. "You will deep soundly to -night, madam," said the physician, looking her scmarely in the eyes. "Bat be sure and not waste any of the drops." "I believe 1 will somehow or other sleep to -night." This is what she said and that is what she did. The infallible remedy from the mys- tics of India was a hartnless tincture of Cardanaoh, which has an aromatic odor. The medicine was in the mind, Charles F. Rnyraond. SOME OTHER DAY.

Indeed, if a foal of tender age is forced to live in s. damp and musty stall there is little likelihood of his doing well, says Breeder's Gaz- ette. By all means We the mares and their offspring good dry boxes, we» bedded, and plenty to eat of the very best. Dampness underfoot, overhead, in the general location of the stall or stable and in the hay is about as bad for foals as it can be. The sunniest quarters should be provided for the baby horses, and, while it is tar better to give a mare 'with a foal a box stall„ , many and many a good colt has beerl reared running loose in the stable af- ter its dam, free to go where it pleasea among the other animals. The writer once was employed on * farm where there were three foals/ reared thus in a stable in 'which two pairs of mules and three pairs of gew Ings besides the three mares were sta- bled regularly, 401d not one, of 'the foals ever got a kick or a scratch. 1t is not a good way to rear foals as com pared to giving them and their mothers Mee, airy, sunny, loose boxes, but it is far better to let them have the runt of a nice, clean, dry barn than it is to condemn them to incarceration deem, moldy old sheds. Cleanliness, moreover, cuts much of a figure in keeping the stalls, wherever they are, good and dry, It is impossi- ble to let manure end 11th accumulate for a few days and have the stallas clean and sweet as the health of the young horse demands, Thousands, per- haps millions, of foals have been killed. or at least rendered worthless by con- finement in damp, ilicleaned stalls by the absorption of poisonous germs at the navel. Sunlight and cleanlines* are the great enemies of germ life and consequent disease. Let the colts live in dry, sunny quarters. Improved Roads Bring Prosperity. It is no doubt true that the question of good roads appears to many to be hackneyed, and when the term appears in print they turn to some other pages says Good Roads Magazine. No one 'denies, however, that the roads, as rule, are bad. Statistics show that bare- ly 1 per cent. of the highways of the country are good hard roads. Many regard the question of gootil Toads as one in which the autornebtlist and bicyclist have a greater interest than any other class of road userst This ought not to be the case. It is true the bicycle and the automobile have been the means of directing pub. He attention to the necessity of koodi roads, but if it Is good for them to have good roads to run over It certainly is 011 greater importance to the farmer and the team owner to have them to haul their products over. When it gets down to a question of self interest this bicycle and the automobile should bs eliminated entirely from the subject. Nothing in the world can conduce to the comfort and prosperity of the farme er and his family more then easier, eater and less expensive communises, tion between farms, neighborhoods, towns and cities.
