STURDY BABIES In every home where Baby's Owu Tablets are used you will find rosy stn y good-natured babies because these ab - lets cleanse the stomach and bo + : s, and digestion, and thus bring per ct health. Ash?; any mother who has .ed the Tab- lete and she will tell on there is no other medicine so g.. d. Mrs. James Hall, Beach Hill, S., says: "My baby was troubled with indigestion, was cross and peevish and rapidly losing flesh, I got Baby's Own Tablets and less than a box cured him and he has ever since enjoyed good health and is growing splendidly." Mothers should remember that this medicine is absolutely safe and can be given to the weakest, tenderest baby, or to the sturdy well -grown boy or girl with equally good effect. Sold by all medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. The First Touring Auto Car. Considerable improvement has, says, Youth's Companion, been made in auto- mobiles since the first attempt to cross the continent in a self -moving vehicle was begun in 1862. That pioneer auto- mobile was propelled by four ten -horse- power steam engines, one for each wheel. The rear wheels were ten feet in dia- meter, and had tires two feet wide. The front wheels were smaller and nar- rower. The whole machine weighed twenty-four thousand pounds. It left New York on the night of June 7, 1862, The mayor of the city had forbidden its owner to run it in the streets, and he had to escape ander cover of darkness. From Hoboken it steamed to Harrisburg, to Pittsburg, to Chicago, to Quincy, and to St. Joseph, and reached Nebraska City on July 14th, after having been thirty-seven days on the way. A ban- quet in honor of the man who was driv- ing the machine was given in the city, and a large crowd turned out to see him start on his way for the Pacific coast. The machine broke down twelve miles west of Nebraska City, and was towed back and stored in the barn of the late J. Sterling Morton till it was sold and dismantled. The people of that country were so chagrined at the discomfiture of the machine on their roads tbat they built a new highway . that is known to this day as the steam - wagon road. ° A recent census shows the population of Paris is 2,720,000.

Cornelius Pruden, the oldest white native of western Canada, died pear Winnipeg, aged 95 years. There were 1,034,787 deaths from plague in India during 1904. The figure for 1906 also probably comes near 1,000,- 000. About the only difference between a pickpocket and many a high financier is that the former gets by illegal means what the latter gets legally. The steel frame of the new fat stock building on the Ottawa Fair grounds collapsed, and five men were seriously injured. One may die. Information received by the Govern- ment from Washington is that the au- thorities there will not accept Canada's appropriation of $100,000 for San Fran - oleo sufferers. J. W. Evans, grain buyer, of Thorn. dale, sued A. Tolton, another grain buyer, for $2,000 for charging him with unfairness in dealing with farmers. The jury gave a verdict for one cent damages, and the judge Ordered each party to pay his own costs. Tuc'ker's wide sleigh bill was dealt with by the Mnnioipal Committe of the Legislatnre Friday. The manufacturers wished for a narrower gauge, and the farmers were in favor of something wider, but the committee agreed upon 3 feet '8 inches. Sleighs manufactured hereafter must be of this width, and all sleighs must conform to the regulation after December 1, 1907. Another out in the price of sugar is announced by the 'Canadian refineries. This is in consequence of the reduction made at New York a week ago. The visible sugar supply is now 4,128,132 WON compared with 2,971,477 a year ago. A very large crop is also reported in Cuba, The price for refined sugar at Toronto is now $4.18 the hundred pounds. Something Like a Failure. Philadelphia Record:—If Uncle Sam were to oonoiude to fail for the benefit of his Creditors or to go out of businoaa not all the expert accountants oouid straighten out his affairs or deter- mine bow many centa he could pay on the dollar, Outstanding() could, of course, easily be adjusted, but there are millions of dollars of debt for the pay. ments of whioh there are no provision. Collectors of ofd fraotional currency, stamp collectors and similar token gatherers hold this stuff and will never turn it in for redemption. In the mat- ter of postage stamps alone the govern. went stands pledged by stamps which it has sold to do au amount of carrying which if all called for at once would swamp the combined transportation facilities of the country. A pretty penny, indeed, is made by the govern- ment iu selling souvenir stamps and the like issued to oommemorato various events, and such is the persistence of the collectors that all the money thus taken is pure gain. In accordance with the decision of the United States Supreme Court, the Grand Trunk Railway has paid $777,734, arrears of taxes which had accumulated on its branches in Michigan since 1901. These arrears accumulated lowing to'a dispute over the right of the State to in- crease the taxation of railways over and above the amount imposed fivejears ago, and the amount now paid bye G. T. R. is in addition to the sum paid an- nualy under the previous law, con- oerning which there was no dispute. nowt. KEu Ev—In Brussels, on April 13th, the wife of Mr. J. II. Kearney a daughter.
