They have a dizzy sensation in the head, the heart palpitates; they are irritable and nervous, weak and. worn out, and the lightest household duties during the day seem to be a drag and a burden, , MILBURN'S HEART AND NERVE PILLS are the very remedy that weak, nervous, tired out, sickly women need to restore them the blessings of good health. They give sound, restful sleep, tone up the nerves, strengthen the heart, and make rich blood. ;firs. C.

We seem to be unnecessarily thick- skinned about a little wholesome criti- cism or comment wbiolt is not positively flattering, Wo can stand taffy and syrup poured ou an inch deep, but dir- ectly someone makes a pin -point of criti- cism about Canacie or Canadians we rear np and snort with iudignatiou. And it isn't as if we were innocent of criticising other peoples, tither. We are always ready to point out other people's weak- nesses and failings, entirely ignoring our own. -Brockville Times. But why should The News classify The Beaoou as the most insanely partisan journal? Is it because its proprietor has never treated political principle as of no account or transferred his allegiance across the tl rest tor a higher salary ? Is it because he never wrote in one month the biography of a great statesman, ex- tolling him as a mai, possessed of the highest political and private virtues, and the next tuouth depicted him as a tyrant inspired by ttie vilest motives iu the ad- ministration of public affairs, -Stratford Be.aeon. One is amazed and startled at the rev elations which the searchlight of the law is reeking as to the secret and widespread ramifications of schemes of monopoliza- tion. Instead of business being an ex- change of advantages, mutually prefer- able. It has come to he, to a large ex- tent, on the one hand, a deliberate and carefully planned effort to overreach and overcharge, and on the other a grumb- ling and ineffectual effort to escape from paying through the nose for the absolute necessaries of life and comfort. Men hardly know where they will be free from the meshes of the nets spread so thickly and adroitly in all departments of industrial life. Allied trades. mutu- alIy interested, and co-operating business with arrangements defensive, and -in more senses than one -offensive meet one on every hand. -Christian Guard - 0 00W TESTING ASSOCIATIONS. Probably every farmer in Canada would like to obtain more profit from each individual cow in his herd, but at present there Is lack of co-operation amongst farmers to accomplish this ob- ject. Iu Denmark, the home of agricultnral Value of farm land, $30,024,165; build- ings $11,908,371; implements, $2,798,000; 1 ■ live stock, $8,349,741; total, $53,680,277. t The value of live stook sold or killed during the year was $3,583,987, co-operation, there have been testing as- st oeitione since 1805, and there are now nine thoueands farriers having their cows tested ayetetnatieally, Similar work will pay Isere, and pay well. Wherever saoh wont has been done, the average production per caw has speedily been raised twenty-five, and even fifty pounds of butter per annum. Surely there are hundreds of farmers, paiustak- ing and thoughtful, williug to show a little enterprise for au almost certain return of from five to ten dollars more than at present from eaoh cow per year. I•t'elite:igen au nssooiatiou was organ. ized in September, 1005. Canadian far- mers need to take this matter up quickly and seriously. As an instance of what substantial progress is possible when individual cows are tested, a farmer near Cow- ansville, Que„ furnishes a striking illus- tration, Iu 1896 fifteen cows were kept, giving an average of only 131 pude of butter. In 1900 tests were commenced of ewes cow soperatoly, the milk being weighed regularly. In 1904 twenty cows were kept ou the fart: (which when pur- chased in 1551 would net decently keep nine eov s) and the average prodactiou per cow was of 254 pounds of butter, This in- crease 1't3 pouuds of butter per cow can be obtained on many other farms. In some illustration testing nndertak- ings in 1904 and 1905 by the Dominion Department of Agriculture it was shown that very poor returns are reoeived from many cows, therefore the urgeut need of cow testing astOoiatinrts is apparent. Valuable practical bulletins on the sub- ject are available and will be sent tree to any applicant, Where any twenty patrons ot a fan - tory will agree to weigh the milk from each cow on three days during the month through the milking period, and furnish themselves with scales and sample bot. ties costing about two or three doltars complete, the Minister of Agriculture auuotus•es that the testing will be done free of cost to the patrons, As the De- partment is auxious to assist farmers in organizing, Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy Commissioner, Ottawa, will be glad to hear from any progressing farmer or fac- tory owner in any community relative to this met important matter, and will arrange for meetings to discuss the questiou AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

"HAxns UP, THUMBS Our" Between 4 and 5 o'clock Sunday morning as Duncan McCallum, a L,, H. & 13. cuuductor, was walking clout; Josephine street, he espied a man dili- gently at work with a brace and bit bort iug boles iu the post -office cider. Dun- can went up to the man and asked what he was tryiug to do, when he was in- formed "it was nous of his business," Then Duncan asked this man if he would remain there until he went for (Thief Pettypiece, and the would•be burglar as- sured him be would. When the chief and his escort returned a few minutes later, the bird had fisivn. The twain tracked the mail to the black bridge, about a mile south of the town, when they discovered flim at the side of the road among some trees. They did not know but what he might be a thorough- bred XXX, all-wool•and-a•yard burglar. Dun. inquired of the chief in a low voice "Say, George, have you got a revolver?" Nary a revolver had George, But Dun was equal to the energency, and pulling a silver•mounted lead pennil from his pocket ,he pointed it at the man in the bushes and shouted"Hands up, thumbs out." When the man saw the lead pencil glistening with deadly glare in the moonlight be knew his goose was cooked, so up went both hands. When Powers was arraigned before Mayor NeeIands on Monday morning on a charge of attempted burglary, he plead- ed guilty and was committed for trial He was taken to Goderich the same af- ternoon.

The friends of James Srigley, foriuer- ly of this town, will be pleased to learn that he is meeting with great success in his enterprise at Pelee Island, Essex county. During the present year he made 1,015 gallons of sorghum syrap, the product of six acres. The oane was of the Early Amber and Early Orange varieties, and some of it yielded 200 gal- lons to the acre. The syrap brought 40 to 50 cents a gallou. besides this, Mr. Srigiey sold over 8;a tons of Concord grapes the past season, the product of 8a acres. He also obtained 600 bushels of potatoes from 4 acres, 300 bushels of beets and carrots, 100 bushels of sorg- hum seed, 5,000 grape worts, about 700 bushels of corn and a , gaantity of hay and other produce -all the above being grown ou 26 acres that he had under cultivation. -HARRIED.

A. :r DICKENS' "SITUATIONS.") *'be Slmilpriiy el }Ila Methods IA Winding Up Ills riots. It is curious what a penchant Dick- ens had for certain melodramatic situ- ations, which seemed to bis fancy se telling that he repeated and reproduced them many times ever, That bis works are all dramatic and conceived in the true spirit of the stage is plain front the vast list of adaptations, Each story bas been adapted again and again and will bear the process admi- rably. One method for winding up Ids plot, to which he was excessively partial, was the unmasking of the villain ow- ing to the betrayal of some confeder- ate. The parties are generally brought together in a room by the more virtu- ous members. The confederate then emerges from his concealment and tells e long story of villainy. We have this denouement first in "Oliver Twist," where Alonks makes his revelations. In "Nickleby" Ralph is confronted with "the man Snawley and Stlueers." In "The Old Curiosity Shop" Quilp is sim- ilarly exposed. In "Barnaby Rudge" Haredale forces his hereditary energy to make revelations. In "Chuzzlewit" Jonas is confronted with another be- trayer. In "('opperfield" Uriah Heap is denounced and exposed by Mr. cawber. In "Bleak house" Lady Ded- lock is similarly tracked. In nearly all the cases the guilty person goes off and commits suicide. -London Spectator. THE FLUTED COLUMN. :Why the Greeks Adopted This Form In Their Architecture. The Greeks observed tlmt a smooth column melted in the light and that Its lines were vague and uncertain, writes Jean Schocpfer in the Architectural /Record Magazine. In order to restore its definiteness they conceived the idea of fluting it. The sharp ridges of the flutings, catching the light, contrasted ;with the dark hollows, thus giving body to the column and emphasizing the vertical outline of the edifice, 'whence a double advantage. This dis- covery could never hove been made on paper. Then, as the abacus of the capital Masts a shadow upon the top of the column, the junction of capital and coi- tumn becomes indistinct, To restore the necessary effect the Greek cuts several deep lines at the point of juuetion, and to emphasize them he paints thein in a dark tone. Even the curve of the cir- cular torus carrying the abacus is so designed that the bright light, striking upon the relief, shall fade into a shaded half tint toward the hollow. Thus, as Vlollet 1e Due truly says, the Greek preserves even in appearance the forms which his reason tells flim to adopt are being the best and most enduring, A GORGEOUS SIGHT. The Wny an Eskimo Delle Look* When Dressed For a Dance. When an Eskimo young Indy goes to ball she is a gorgeous sigbt to gaze upon. A traveler reports just bow a belle was dressed on such au occasion. Her dress was made of the intestines of a seal, split and sewed together. This makes a transparent garment and the girl trimmed it with elaborate em- broidery of colored . worsteds and fringed it with strings of beads. Her trousers were white and matte of Si- berian reindeer skin embroidered with strips of wolf skin. Her hair was braided on each side with strips ot wolf skin and strips of beads. Heavy necklaces and pendants of beads and teeth of animals hung around bar neck and over ber shoulders. Snow white gloves made of fawn skin were on leer !lauds. These fitted perfectly and were ornamented with strips of skin from some animal -per - baps the seal. To complete this elab- orate outfit this Eskimo belie carried long eagle feathers, one in each hand, which she waved as she danced. Get Outdoors. Get outdoors and you won't need to take sleep opiates. It is a palpable fact that we can't be out in the fresh air and sunshine very long before feeling an inclination to drowsiness. Isn't it the easiest tiling in the world to He down in a sunny field, with a handker- chief over your face, and fail asleep? And, if you have ever er'osecd the ocean, you must have noticed how the fresh breezes and the sun's rays set the passengers dozing in their chairs.
