DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS CURED HIM, Read the word* of praise, Mr. 111. A. McInnis, Marion Dridgo, N.S., has for Moan's Kidney Pills. (He writes us): "For the past three years I have suffered terrible agony from pain across my Iddneya. I was so bad I could not stoop or bend. I consulted and had several doctors treat me, but *mild get no relief. On the advice of a friend, I procured a box of your valuable, life-giving remedy (Doan's Kidney Pills), and to ray surprise and delight, I immediately got better. In my opinion Doane Kidney Pills have no equal for any form of kidney trouble." Doan's Kidney Pills are 50 cents per box or three boxes for 51,26. Can .be procured at aU dealers or will be mailed direct on receipt of price by The Doan kidney Pill Co., Toronto, Ont. Do not accept a spurious substitute but bs stirs and get "Dean's," TO ADVERTISERS Much of this cackle from the Conserves tive press, aliegiu,; that the Liberal. members in the Legislature are tired of Mr. Boa es a leader, is purely and tempiy tommyrot. There may be a glimmer of truth in it. Unfortunately there are Liberal Members in the Legia- lature who Dave become imbued with the Conservative policy of expediency, and believing it a popular move to Eby a kick at their leader, have done so. Even though the Government pow holds a majority of forty, It were better that such rnembers become Conservatives -- I G.tit Reformer, Notice of changes most be left at this office not later than Satexday noon, The copy for changes must be left not later than Monday evening.

The most alarming features of the new Government's tendencies are the disposition to multiply the number of officials, to transaet penile business by means of commissions, and to increase the public expenditures. The latter are being pushed tipwithout parallel and 1n a znauner which punnet prove ot'her%tie thou disastrous should the present abuol mal receipts not be contin• ued. When in Opposition extravagance of the wildest kind was charged by the Conservatives agaiost the men in power, but recent happenings have shown that, jadged by etandards set np, the succes- sive Liberal Governments of the Paw. iota were economtoal to the degree of meanness. -Brantford Expositor. Some of our contemporaries are find- ing fault with Mr. Whitney for granting railway bonuses in the closing hours of the Legis)atare, after he had promised to abolish ail sabaidies of this kind. Our contemporaries have evidently not studied the clatter properly, Most of the money is for a railway in Manitoulin. That is Gamey's constituency, and what he really wants has to go with this Gov- ernment. -St. Catharines Star -Journal. Some of the Opposition muck -rakers pretend to scent scandal in the provis- ioning of Capt. $arnier's ship for her three years °raise iu the north, and the organs have been printing lies of the cargo and hinting at rakeoffs, c•tc. Sir Wilfrid intimated that he would insti- tute a searching examination, and if there was any wrong -doing shown prompt action would be taken to punish it. Now let the men wzth the muck- rakes work overtime. --Hamilton Times. There is no use in varnishing with constitutional phrase the payment of the leader of the Opposition. No such office as leader of the Opposition is, or it is to be hoped ever will be, known to the Constitution. It would mean the per- petuation of canna government, Who is for designate the leader of the Opposi- tion? In case of a split in the party is the Government to decide? It is said that if the leader of the Opposition were not paid by the Government, the party would have to pay him. Why should it uot?-Goldwin Smith in Weekly Sun, The County Councils bill of this ses- sion is the one thing among the govern- n=ent measures for which there is the least justification. It served no other purpose than to hamper useful legisla- tion. 'There was no demand for it, and there was no necessity pleaded. It rein- troduces an effete system which was properly discontinued years ago. It ex• pertenee has since disclosed minor de- fects in the system that replaced it these might have been remedii d. No other bill of the session affords stronger ground for gneationtng the legislative capacity of the Whitney Ministry.---GIobe.

An elderly resident of Stratford ex - reseed the opinion recently to the Strat- ford &aeon that the influence of the Sunday Schools of to -day has been seri- ously undermined by the light literature of the publio libraries. Very likely it is. This age of cheap and light litera- ture provides a bad mental diet for youth and old alike. It leads to super- ficial reading and shallow views. The literature which is devoured with the greatest relish is the cheap illustrated magazine. With a mind saturated with this kind of froth it is hard for the school pupils to get down to concentrat- ed study. The child, who,' i generation or so ago, was brought up on about half a dt:zen wholesome, substantial books knew them thoroughly and his whole trend of thought was largely influenced by the matter he hai absorbed. But what kind of being will mature from the child who is fed on the modern ten - cent magazines, with two thirds adver- tisements and one-third of slushy, illus- trated sluff? -Brookville Times.

Mr. Gregory has a fine stone mill at White- head whlbh he erected last year at a cost of $40,400. Ii. Ontario we seem to be entering on an era of Government by commission. We have the electric power commission, the railway commission, the commission to inquire into the cost of the text books, and the commission to exploit the miner- al in the Gillies' limit, all appointed since the opening of the present session of the Legislature. Commissions may bo very useful and necessary; but is not the tendency to shift the direct responsibil- ity from the shoulders of the representa- tives of the people? The people, in the very nature of things, cannot attend directly to the transaction of their own business. They intrust the work to their representatives, who are directly responsible to them. Their representa- tives in turn intrust the work to com- missions, responsible not to the people but to the Government. After a while we suppose, the commissions will be passing on the work to sub•oommissions, so that in a few years more it may be like hunting for the proverbial needle in a haystack for the elector to find the man who is actually responsible for a pieee of work. -Woodstock Sentinel - Review. BOW IT SPREADS. The first package of Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-Roid (the infallible Pile cure) that was put out went to a small town in Nebraska. It cured a case of Piles that was con- sidered hopeless. The news spread, and although this was only two years ago, the demand promoted Dr. J. S "Leonhardt's, of Lilo (min, Neb., the discoverer, to prepare it for general use. Now it is being sent to all parts of the world, It will cure any ease of Piles. There is a month's treatment in each box. Sold for $1.00, with absolute guaran- tee.

Five hundred dollars was the price brought by a Transvaal sixpenny bine error postage stamp at a recent sale in London, much to the surprise of the majority of stamp oolleotore. Thus one more rarity is added to the constantly growing list of errors. The newcomer was issued with an inverted surcharge. A surcharged stamp, it may be explain- ed for the benefit of those not rip in philately, is one on which a now valve or use has been set by simply stamping or printing ;another value or name than that originally engraved upon the stamp in blank Ietters across its face. In the case of the Transvaal error the sur- charge was printed upside down.

The principal -reason for their high value is due to the scarci- ty of the errors, as in every case the Government issuing them puts forth every effort for their recall, and thus very few as a rule come into the posses. sion of the general pnblio.

Both the octopus and the cuttlefala bake arms that are clothed with (t formidable array of suckers which arty Wonderful pieces of mechanism, Wheal the sucker comes into contact with an object the central piston, having pre- viously been raised so as to completes ly fill the cavity of the sucker, is at once withdrawn and a perfect vacs num produced, explaining the great too, naclty with which the suckers cling Tliey number upward of 100 palms to each arm of the octopus, and once, they Obtain a grip on the victim, unless the arm is actually torn away from the body of the octopus, it is practically, impossible for its prey to disentangle itselfi. In additlon to these suckers the oeto• pus bas a powerful pair of jaws, snap• ed like the beak of a parrot, behind which le a formidable armor plated tongue used as a rasping organ. Tile octopus will attack and kill crabs and lobsters pf considerable size, ripping open the body by ineans of its powerful jaws and (levouring the contents. In spite of being a Creature of such awe inspiring looks the octopus has several enemies In various species of 'whales, sharks and conger eels. In fact, the latter are particularly fond of devour- ing the smaller octopuses, Conger eels hunt for the octopus and, when found, proceed to browse on its limbs. The octopus tries to hug the slippery, slimy conger tight, but in vain, aitd, fluffing its limbs growing less, discharges its ink in tite face of the foe and under cover of the turbid water beats a hasty retreat. It is to escape the too pressing attention of its foes that the octopus possesses the power Of changing its color to corre- spond witlz that of its surroundings. WHEN WE STAND UPRIGHT. A Speclul ComplMechanist's Loa. bleu UH to Do It. We are so aceustonzed to standing upright as a.natural attitude that few of us thick what a special complex mechanism is required for this pur- pose. .A. moment's consideration will show that the ordinary explanation of the erect position (the center of gravi- ty to be directly above the feet) is in- sufficient. When a man is suddenly; . shot, whether from the front or behind, he drops on his face, for the truth le that there is much more weight in the front of the spinal column than be- hind it. The fact is tbat when we are stand- ing a large number of powerful mus- cles (both front and back) are simul- taneously at work, the effects of their action being to neutralize each other. Thus the legs would fall forward were it not that they are kept vertical on the feet by the strong tendon • (the "Achilles") at the back of the heel. At the same time the muscles of the thigh are tightened so as to prevent us taking a sitting position, and the muds cies of the back are pulled tense so that the trunk does not stoop forward. The head Ys prevented from dropping on the chest by the ligaments in the nape of the neck. That the upright is not its normal position is easily shown by the fact that a man nods as he is failing asleep, for as soon as the controlling ncrvotlsi force Is deadened the head drops for- ward by its otvn Weight, only to be pulled back into position again with a jerk when the brain becomes sud- denly aware of an unusual attitude.
