NOTES AND COMMENTS.
To a deputation from the Ontario Al
:dance, Hon. Mr. Hann said that the
three-fifths vote on local option must
stand, and that therj must be equaliza-
tion in regard to periods of voting on
local option.
What a happy community they trust
be at Eimonton ! The citizens there are
given credit with always pulling together
for the welfare of the town. There are
no knockers. And they are accomplish-
ing something. Edmouton is jampiug
ahead. No community can be forced
into prominence on the wings of scrap

What a grand opportunity exists for
our local temperance friends to boil over
in denunioation of the Whitney Govern-
ment's license bill. If tlio late Govern -
had attempted such legislation we would
never have heard the last of it. The
one clause demanding that local option
be carried by a majority of one-fifth of
the vote polled is a most serious blow to
the cause of temperance, and places leg-
islation iu

Malicious gossiping, in fact any kind
of gossipiug, is the most contemptible
business one can indulge in, and it is
frequently ono of the curses connected
with. village life. Many make it a point
to know other people's `business bettor
than they do their own, and imagining
they do eo put on all sorts of insane cou-
struotions on simple acts and words.
Many a person has been driven to insani-
ty and suicide through this practice, and
decent people should never lose an op-
portunity to frown it down.—Dandalk
Herald.
Dairy Commissioner Ruddick gave evi-
dence before the agriculture committee
in regard to the cheese and batter trade
with Britain. Mr. Ruddick eaad that
the facilities for handling Cauadian pro-
ducts at the Lcndon docks had greatly
improved. The higher price received
for Canadian cheese last year was in a
large measnre dne to the much better
condition it reached the people Instead
of the price being likely to go down it
would rather inrease. The Canadian
butter trade with Great Britain was
steadily improving.
In the libel case of Coyle vs the Toron-
onto Globe, tried at Cobourg at the
spring assizes before Judge CInte, the
jury brought in a verdict in favor of the
defendant. The issue was an importan t
one for the press, inasmuch as it involv-
ed the liability of the newspapers in pnb-
lishing official Government reports. The
Globe in common with other papers,
published an official statement by the
fruit division of the department of agri-
culture, telling how the inspector dis-
covered defects In apples packed by
Coyle. The defense pleaded justifica-
tion, inasmuch as the report was an of-
ficial Government statement, and the
jury has sustained that view.
A bill to provide for a day of rest, so
that each man may be free to abstain
from labor, is the manner in which the
Minister of Juetice described his bill re-
specting the Lard's Day. In moving the
second reading, Mr Fitzpatrick set a
noble example by limitang his remarks
to fifteen minutes. His interpretation
of the bill leaves the general impression
that the effect will not be radical, but
that it is desirable to safeguard the rest
day from further encroachments. He
agreed with the Arenbishop of Canter -

Premier Whitney reminds us of the
old etery of the Ruseian traveller, who,
driving with bis family in the winter,
was pursued by a pack of wolves, which.
gained so on the horses that to
lighten the load and appease the wolves
for a short time, ono of the children was
thrown out, and another, and another,
till when he reached safety only himself
was left. Mr. Whitney made a great
many protestations when in opposition,
and not a few since he came into power,
and people really believed he was going
to take a high stand, but the wolves are
too much for him, and one by one he
yields up ono of his cherished ideals.
There is just this difference, however,
between Mr. Whitney and the Russian:
The latter got away from his pursurers,

Newspaper Men.
The men who are responsible for the
making of Canadian newspapers are hn-
mau with the frailities of humankind
`and the aptitude to err of their species.
' But they have on the whole a high con-
seption of their responsibilities. They
are subject to many temptations, and
t should be judged by the difficulties of
their lot as well as by their shortcom-
ings. Newspaper men make many mis-
takes. Sometimes they are to blame;
sometimes their sources of information
; are at fault, Fortunately it is very eel•
dom that a newspaper man may be fair-
ly charged with a dishonest or a dishon-
orable act in the securing of news. The
newspaperman enjoys many confidence-
and seldom is it found that the confi-
dente is misplaced. ---Ex.
• At the Cornwall Assizes Rias Joso-
phine Smith of Ottawa was acquitted of
i a charge of retaining and diverting to
1 her own use a valuable old prayer book.
She conducted her own case.
A SPRING TONIC
Weak, Tired and Depressed People
Need a Tonle at this Season to
Put the Blood Right.
Spring blood is bad blood. Indoor life
during the winter months is responsible
for weak, watery, impure blood Yon
need a tonic to build up the blood in the
spring just as much as a tree needs new
sap to give it vitality for the summer.
In the spring the bad blood shows itself
in many ways. In some it breeds pim-
ples and erruptions. In others it may be
through occasional headaches, a variable
appetite, perhaps twinge of neuralgia,
or rheumatism, or a lazy feeling in the
morning and a deetre to avoid exertiou
For these spring ailments it is a touio
you need, and the greatest blo• s -mak-
ing, health -giving tonic iu al e world
is Dr Williams' Pink Pills. .very dose
helps to make new, rich, r;, , health•giv•
ing blood, which reaches tvery nerve and
every organ in th. bo , bringing health,
strength and en r - to weak, despon-
dent, ailing men • d women. Here is
proof. Mrs Chas Blackburn, Aylesford
Station, N. S., says: "For the past ten
years Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is the on-
ly medicine I have taken when 1 found
I needed a medicine. Last spring I was
feeling poorly, was weak, easily tired
and depressed. 1 got three boxes and
they made me feel like a new person.
These pills are the best medicine I know
of when the blood is out of order."
Thousands of people not actually sick
need a tonic in the spring, and to all
these a box or two of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will bring new energy and new
strength. To those who may be more
seriouslyailing,
who h
are
g, suffering from
any of the ailments due to bad blood—a
fair treatment with these pills will bring
new health and vitality. Yon can get
these pills from any medicine dealer or
by mail from the Dr Williams' Medi-
cine Co., r.rockville, Ont., at 50 cents a
box or six boxes for $2 50.
Twenty Years Ago
(Dliissaukee Sentinel)
I've wandered to the village, Tom, and
tried to find the tree
On which we carved our names one day
wheu we were happy, free;
But there was nothing doing, Tom; the
tree'd been stricken low
By the village lumber company—since
twenty years ago.
The little old red schoolhouse, Tom, that
stood upon the hill,
Is gone, and its hlace a sign reads, "Try
a Purple Pill."
Where once stood gnarled old apple trees
with fruit a•bending low,
They've built a modern brewery, Tom—
since twenty years ago.
Do you remember Geraldine—she of the
sunny hair?
None in all the village, Tom, was half
so sweet or fair.
I lost my heart completely, Tom, and
tried to be her bean—
She's fat, red-faced—six children, Tom -
since twenty years ago.
I wandered to the village green, where
we, when heedless boys,
Played one -old -oat and pull-away, and
knew so many joys;
And, Tom, that green is on the bum; it
really grieved me so
To find potatoes growing there --since
twenty years ago.
"Tis sweet to dream of all those things
that we in boyhood knew—
The school, the green, the meadows
where the fragrant blossoms grew;
And, Tom. I'm not a knocker, but don't
pay out hard-earned dough
For railroad fare to visit scenes of
twenty years ago.
Show Your Friendship.
Are you willing to help THE TINES.
Who lives next door to you?
Lend them this week's paper, and just
mention that it is a clear, reliable local
newspaper, and that 65 cents pays for it
from now until the end of 1900.
Every subscriber can easily get an-
other subscriber, and send the money in
with his own.
The money that comes from subscrip-
tions goes right back into improving the
paper.
That is the reason the paper has been
enlarged and improved.—Nothing suc-
ceeds like success.
Now is the time!
See, if yon can send in a dozen names
to send the paper to this year.

Pointed Paragraphs.

Many mixed ideas are dne to mixed

Only the survivors believe in the sur-
vival of the fittest.
The poor we have always with ns—
especially poor excuse.
Success never comes to a man woo is

Don't expect to get rid of your trou-

Enthusiasm sets the pace, but common

Perserverance works wonders, but it

It is easy for a man to behave after he

,urciy high place belongs to those who have consecrated their lives to the better- G
better-
ment of humanity; who were great not for what they possessed but for what they
gave, not for what they absorbed but for what they radiated, not fur what they �
became hut for what they helped others to become.
Among the Canadian women who have made philanthropy a living, vital
atmosphere of helpfulness rather than a mere theory of living, the name of Lillian
Massey Treble deserves high praise. Born in 1854, in Newcastle, Ont., the only
daughter of the late Hart A. Massey of Toronto, who was the inspiration and im-
petus to some of the Dominion's most important industries and institutions, from
her earliest moments she has lived in the atmosphere c,f wealth. llen fine mind
was given additional strengthening and refining under the best instructors, and
later in that heat of schools --foreign travel—where olscrvaticna is the teacher,
and the many new cities and countries but new school -rooms. The heiress of great
estates, she consecrated herself and her wealth to the good of the world.
Fier earliest work in the Fred Victor Mission in one of Toronto's neglected quar-
ters, soon convinced her that the primary source of good or evil in most instances
is the home; that the greatest good to humanity roust come from preventing evils,
not from curing ,them, and from building up higher ideals of life and living. The
first step in this work of regeneration was m the organisation of domestic science
classes in connection with the missions. Then came the demand for a higher grade
of teachers, alive to th •ir duties and their privileges; this led to the founding of the
Lillian Massey School of Household Science and Art. In this institution the prac-
tical work of training women for the home, so that they may make home better
for themselves and others, is the supreme nits of all the teaching. The education
—literary, scientific, moral, practical—is all centered LI making woman more fitted
for the responsibilities and privileges of woman's sphere.
In 1897 Miss Massey was married to John M. T rrd•ie of Toronto. but:this made
no difference in the intensity of purpose and helpfulness of her philanthropic Life,
constantly broadening into wider channels of usefulness. Her work as trustee
of the Fred Victor Mission, honorary president of the Canadian Household Economic
Association, vice-president of the Women's Connell of Toronto and an executrix
of her father's estate are but a few phases of her busy career.

Toronto, April 3—The ran at the City

1,357 head of cattle, 253 sheep and lambs,
600 hogs and 147 calves.
The market was slow, bat steady to

butchers' selling as good as exporters at
from $4.75 to $4 90. A few especially
choice cattle for the Easter trade sold at
almost fancy prices, Maybee and Wilson
selling five very choice cattle, about 1,-
300 pounds, at $5,35. Others fetched $5,
but these were the few exceptions to the
general ran. There was a heavy propor-
tion of common botcher cattle offering,
and these made a slow and draggy mar-
ket, though prices held about steady at
recent declines. Medium heavy butchers'
at $4 to $4.25; medium cows and mixed
loads at $3 to $3,50.
