THE HOT WEATHER FACE.
(8t. Catharines Star -Journal)
Yes, the weather ie of the warm varie•
ty. I4 needs no thermometer other than
your body to tell that. Bat if you were
in doubt, you could read it in the hot
weather feces all about you.
That hot weather scowl! Look at the
faces. Poiaplretiotr stands , ut iu beads,
and clothes are sticky. And feet burn.
The air is murky, and sweltering hu-
manity wears a frowning visage Brows
are corrugated. Mouths droop at the
corner. Eyee are glared sullenly. Hu-
manity gestures in dissent. Look at the
faces.
They are repellant conutenances. Yon
smile with them feebly, and your smile
fades as eves a faint, cooling freeze in
the teeth of a sirocco. Oa every brow
is a ready •to burst thunder•oloud. You
lose sour least teudeuoy to look pleasant,
Butt your ttmperature goes up by notch.
es, presently you are a part of the scowl-
ing, dissatified mob. Yon have naught
the hot weather face.
Bat hold ou-
There's a face that is different. It is
the face of a woman. She is diaagreab-
ly hot like the others. Her face is un-
deniably red. But she is smiling 1 Aud
her smile is like the glorious bursting of
the eau from the surrounding clouds.
It is the smile that won't Dome off.
What a handsome face? Aud how
ugly the other womeu are in comparison.
To be sure, they have good features and
are well formed and gowned, those
,others.
Bat -
They are spoiling themselves by the
grudge they carry ou• their features.
And the more they frown, the hotter
they get -and the uglier.
There's another face -a man's. He
perspires and smiles. He mops his face
and his eyes twinkle. He radiates good
humor. Aud he seems a mite cooler
than the others He really is cooler.
Certainly it is hot.
But there is no call to add mental to
material warmth. A smile does not
make the temperature a bit warmer. It
may even cool tkiugs some.
Beware of the hot weather face.
Smile, brethren and sisters, smile!
There's both religion and comfort in a
smile.
PULSE OF THE PRESS.
Here are we Canadian editors, grunt-
ing oar collar buttons off on the lever
that moves the world, with the old
haudle flying up every few days, knock-
ing out our teeth, taking fifty per cent.
of the legal rate for priutiog while the
statesmen are taking 150 per cent. of
their pay; here we are galloping up and
down the earth carrying other people's
burdens, bearing other people's sorrow,
and taking our pay in due bilis on St.
Peter -and all for what? For the fun
of getting the smell of new ink in our
noses; for the joy of ripping open the
familiar old exchanges; for the pleasure
of making a three days' speech every
ninety days at the note counter of the
bank; for the delectation of getting com-
plinentary tickets to ch arch socials, and
for the sweet satisfaction of being too
unpopular even to be asked as pall -boar•
er et funerals. It is a great business-
thie newspaper business. And reform-
ing the world is a mighty happy diver-
sion, and if Andrew Carnegie forgets us
with his hero medals there is some com-
fort in knowing that as we tarn to the
right when we finally go up we have our
harp check paid for by the best line of
free advert -ling that has ever been print-
ed in the world. -Kingston Whig.
LOCAL OPTION STANDS.
Another attempt to upset a local option
by-law proved unsuccessful Thursday at
Oagoode Hall, Toronto.
On behalf of David Bell, Mr. James
Meyerson, K C., asked Air. Justice An-
glin to quash the byelaw which was
passed this year by a majority of 200 by
the township of Elma, in Perth county.
The reasons advanced were teohnioal
irregularities in the taking of the vote
and the counting of the ballots.
Mr. H.B Morphey, Listowel, appeared
for the township, and argued that the
will of the people should not be thwarted
because there had been minor irregulari-
ties which in no way touched the honesty
of the vote.
"In spite of the great research of
counsel to find reasons for the quashing
of this by-law I do not think his motion
can succeed," said his Lordship. "There
have been omissions to apply the statute
as to taking the vote, but whether omis•
stens or irregularities, they did not af-
fect tbe result."
Costs were given against Bell.

Relieves Itching
Heals the Shin
THE difficulty of stopping the
dreadful itching, burning sen-
sations, and of healing the raw and
irritated skin, is what has made
eczema, salt rheum and running
sores seem impossible to cure. But
there is a cure for everyone who will
persist in the use of Dr. Chase's
Ointment.
There is scarcely a neighorhood in
this country where Dr. Chase's Oint-
menthes not producedsorne remark.
able cures, and for this reason we
request you to ask your neighbors
about it.
By its antiseptic influences Dr.
Chase's Ointtiseatthoroughly
cleanses the sore to which it is ap-
plied, then soothes the irritation
and heals the skin. It is useful in
scores of ways -wherever there is
itching skin of asore that refuses to
heal ; 60 cents a box, at all dealers,

Now is
the Time
Chance for Profit Offered Times Readers -
Let no one Fall to Benefit.
Impefect cooking and hurried eating
result in indigestion. At first the sto•
mach and digestive organs are strong
enough to accommodate themselves to
all manner of ill treatment, but tbe time
soon comes when the walls of the sto-
mach are inflamed, and the gastric juices
are not secreted in sufficient quantity to
digest the food, so that it is passed
through the system imperfectly digested,
giving but little nutrition and strength.
If one oan only recognize the symp-
toms of indigestion in the early stages,
he is then in a position to protect himself
by proper attention. "He is twice armed
who is fore -warned."
Now is the time to be benefitted. Just
as soon as you find that your food can be
tasted after eating, when the abdomen
swells or bloats, when the tongue is fur-
red, the breath heavy, the appetite poor,
the head dull and aching occasionally,
then is the time for treatment with
Mi-o•na. It costs but 500 a box.
This reliable remedy is a perfect re-
storer and strengthener of the whole di-
gestive system. It restores lost functions
to the stomach, strengthens the nervous
system, and enables one to eat what he
likes without fear of distress or trouble.
If you cannot obtain Mi-o•na of your
druggist, it will be sent by uraiI, post-
paid, on receipt of price. Write us for
advice on your case from a leading sto-
mach specialist which will be sent free.

LEGAL NOTES.
From Mail and Empire's Legal Answers.
W. G. M., Dungannon. -Q. -At what
age is a girl of age? (2) Can a girl collect
wages for working at home after she be-
comes of age?
Ans.-A girl is of age at 21.But she
can do many things after attaining the
age of 16 and before she is 21. (2) A son
or daughter cannot collect wages from
parents while living at home with them
as members of the family, unless they
show a positive contract on the part of
the parents agreeing to pay wages.
Where talion or daughter lives at home
without any wages, the law presnmee
that he or she is merely working as
members of the family for board and
olothing, and the benefits of the home,
J. 8., Brussels. -Q-I rented a house
two yearb ago, and agreeded to give up
poeeession upon a month's notice if my
landlady should procure a purchaser for
the place. She did not procure a
purchaser but she now wants to rent the
house to her brother. Will. I be obliged
to leave on a month's notice?
Ans.--It all depends upon whether
you are a "monthly tenant" or not.
The fact that you iftwe occupied the
premises for two years does not make
yott a yearly tenant. If yon took the
place as a monthly tenant, you have. re -
rosined a monthly tenant down to the
present time, and therefore one month's
notice is sufficient to put an end to your
tenancy.

ered what is called the oyster cure for
nervousness. It consists in eating all
the oysters a porson can consume to the
exclusion of other foods until the core is
effected. The theory is that in nervous
disorders an excessive amount of phos-
phorus is eliminated from the system.
This loss can be compensated by taking
foods containing a large amount of phos-
phorus. It is said a patient taking this
cure can eat oysters fresh from the sea
at the rate of about six dozen Vey .

Blacksmith Aims Hammer at Animal,
But Strikes Rock Wherein Vast
Wealth Liea--S8,000,O0O
in Sight.
New York: Two young Canadians,
David Dunlap and d*oah Timmons, both
of Mattawa, Ont., registered here re-
cently. They br6ught little personal
baggage, but did bring two freight cars
which they had sidetracked in Jersey
City. Forty full tons of rock was in
these cars. It had been mined by Dun-
lop and Timmins in northern Ontario,
between Lakes Temiscamingue and
Telnagamie within a month.
When the two Canadians left for
home they 'had sold the rock to the
Ladue chemical and reduction works
for $75,000. They had struck a silver
and nickel mine, wbich promises to
prove one of the richest in the world.
They have obtained complete ownership
of the property, and declare they would
not sell out for $5,000,000 each.
The territory in which the mine is lo-
cated is little known except to hunters.
Almost a year ago a railroad projected
a line through that section, and last
spring a blacksmith's shop was built
alongside the newly laid tracks, One
Sunday afternoon, as a blacksmith, ham-
mer in hand, was strolling around, a fox
started up in front of him. He
hurled the hammer, missed the fox, but
the hammer struck a projecting bowlder,
making a sharp, metallic sound. The
blacksmith became interested. He
struck the bowlder, and became con-
vinced that it was largely impregnated
with metal. He clipped some chips off
the rock, and, taking them to Mattawa,
he showed them to Timmins and Dun-
lap. The latter saw the specimens
were largely silver.
Carefully guarding the secret, the
two men went to the place and discov-
ered more than a dozen other speci-
mens of rock. All were of silver, with
about 12 per cent. of nickel and a trace
of cobalt and arsenic. They also found
a well-defined ore vein running along
the surface of the ground for nearly
1,000 feet. Claims were filed, and Noah
Timmins, his brother Henry and David
Dunlap became the owners of the prop-
erty.
The three men, with a gang of 25
miners, then took possession and be-
gan operations. Two shafts were sunk,
and the ore vein got richer, as they went
dpwn. A depth of 90 feet has been
reached, and what is said to be one of
the richest silver and nickel depos-
its on this continent has been dis-
closed.
Mr. Timmins declares that fully
$3,000,000 worth of the metals i6 now
practically in sight.
SHOPLIFTERS HAVE TOOLS.
Latest "Wrinkle" of Female Purloin-
ers Is to Tie and Wrap Stolen
Articles.
Boston. -Up-to-date shoplifters have
evolved a new scheme to fool the store
detectives. At least the police say so,
and they ought to know. The latest
"wrinkle" is to carry about with them
several sheets of brown paper, such as
is used in wrapping up parcels, and
some stoat twine. They then proceed
to tie up the stolen articles, so as not
to arouse suspicion if. they unfortu-
nately become too closely acquainted
with the floor walkers or detectives.
However successful the scheme may
work in some cases, it failed as far as
Mrs. Mary McCormack and 'her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Alice Monte, of Allston and
Cambridge, who were arrested after a
chase in the shopping district, are con-
cerned. Whether they were discov-
ered before they had had full opportu-
nity,. to place the paper around the
godos is not known, but, at any rate,
the police say they found plenty of
the paper and twine on the pair when
they were searched at headquarters.
They were not recognized by any
of the inspectors as old offenders,
though they pleaded guilty when ar-
raigned in the municipal court. The
mother was fined $50 and the daughter
was placed on probation.
CAT -EATING OWL NO MORE
Great Horned Specimen, After Ile.
vouring Tvtro Felines in Maine,,
Comes to Grief. •
Bangor, Me. -A great horned owl of
unusual size and voracity was killed in
Falmouth a few days ago. The owl's spe-
cial predilection in the matter of eat-
ables, was cat, and he was doing his best
to depopulate the feline race ,in Fal-
mouth when fate overtook him.
Rendered desperate by hunger, he
dove through a pane of glass in a farm-
house window, and snatching a kitten
in his powerful talons, flew out of an
open door with him before any one could
come to the rescue. Flushed with his
success, he returned two days later and
captured another pretty little`' pussy,
this time in the yard.
He met his Waterloo on the third day
when he attacked the mother of the fam-
ily, but it was not through her efforts
that he was foiled, for he had already
buried his powerful claws in her sides
and a desperate battle was in progress
with the owl winning when the master
of the house came to the rescue, and,
knocking down the big b?tt with a
broom handle, stunned him so that hia
killing was an easy matter.
The owl is now in Lane's shop in i'ort-
land, being properly Stuffed and pre-
served.
