KIDNEY TROUBLE
CUOMO "MY
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS.
Kidney Troubles,n a matter of whet.
kind or what stage of the disease, can
be quickly and permanently cured by the
use: of. these wonderful pills. Mr. Joseph
Leland, Alma, I+T.W,T., recommends them
to all kidney trouble sufferers, when he
says :-I was troubled, with dull head-
aches, had frightful dreams, tersibis
pains innay lege and a frequent desire to
urinate. Noticing DOAN'S KIDNEY
PILLS recommended for just such annoy-
wee
nnoyaures as mine, it occurred to me to give
them a trial, so I procured a box of
them, and was very much surprised at
the effectual cure they made. I take A
great deal of pleasure in recommending
them to all kidney trouble sufferers,

PULSE OF THE PRESS.
The jailer of Norfolk County has tent
in his resignation. He was eager for the
job when a vacancy occurred a few
months ago. but not wishing to be buried
alive in an offioe with little or nothing
to do has decided to return to the world
and be a man among live men once more
We have had oases iu this dietriut before
of Dieu who prayed and rooted for office
until they obtain it, throwing up the job
in disgust. Men with red blood in their
veius and their mental and physical
faoilties unimpaired, make a mistake in
chasing up offices in whittle to go to sleep.
They soon grow weary of it.-Ridgetown
Duminiou.
A favorite idea among certain polit-
totaue in Washingroo ie that the Ameri-
eaue who are crowding into the new Pro-
vinces will declare for annexation. Those
who are best acquainted with these set-
tlers given encouragement to this notion.
These immtgrants have found the laws
and institutions of Canada all that re-
speotable people could desire. They have
also found that distinctive people, princi-
pals of Oanadianism, respect for the law
and constituted authority, even-handed,
prompt administration of justice, relig-
ions freedom and free education for
everybody, prevail throughout the laud
they have come to, and are contented to
accept conditions measurably superior
to those they have left behind them. -

A FORECAST FOR AUGUST.
anything very reWarkable in the gener-
al management of the earth or alry--
tae planets beim; very gaiet, many
of them having gone .on their holidays.
No great eonvnliiions in, nature, Qr a the
axahiteoture ot the World are expcoted-
batt might arrive by ally mixed train.
Any minor disturbances or oonvuisigns
likely to arise during the night, and will
be traceable to over indulgeaeo ill green
fruit. Inside information can be bad
from the viotitus. Oa the 4th two very
important events will take plane: The
Perth Old $ops' Reunion will be held
in Stratford and the moon will be full
On that date. However, the moon will
be ou its last quarter on the lith, and
will probably have to get some money
from the Old Boys. Angnat will be
short an Suudaye, there being only 4.
We slope this will not happen again, as
tomo of the other months have five.
Church collections and bank robberies
will be about the same as next August.
Murders and euioides will be regulated
and governed very much by the tempera-
ture and cost of living. Picnics will be
numerous toward the middle and both
ends of the month. Sommer visitors
will be plentiful and bard to discourage,
as the spare room is much warmer than
in winter. August will not work over-
time, as it is the last of the summer sea-
son. Summer engagements will not be
valid after the 31st. Looks of hair, die -
monde and other tokens of affection
should be returned, not later than Sept:
1st, taken all through the month will be
hot. Congregational meetings should be
wedded as much as possible. It is gent
entity conceded that one has more warm
friends in August than in January.
A good many of the country papers in
Ontario make a feature of the weather
forecasts of Mr. Irl D. Hicks, a United
States weather prophet, and it is said
that the farmers pay a good deal of at-
tention to thein. The Motherwell nor-
reepondent of the St. Mary's Argus has
a happy hit at Mr Hioks in this "Fore-
cast for August":
August Stet wilt begin this month
It H ill be composed of 31 days and a
a iitabie number of nights, as made and
provided by the Statutes of Ontario.
August will begin business immediate-
ly ou the expiration . of July 3Ist, The
31 days May not be distinguished by
Severe Form ot Asthma.
"I &at used Dr. Chase's Syrup of
Linseed and Turpentine with my daugh-
ter who suffsred from a severe form of
asthma. The least exposure to cold
would lay hair up and she would nearly
suffocate for want of breath. 1 mast
say I found it to be a most satisfactory
treatment and it has entirely cured her."

T1ENTY YEARS AGO,
(From Tine WrNGHA.M Tlsrns of
Friday, July 33th, 1886.)
NE1GitBOBBOOD NEWS,
The auditors' abstract for the village
of Lnoknow for last year shows a balance
ou hand of $464,52.
The Doherty Organ Co., of Clinton
have tucreased their facilities and ex-
pect to turn out 2,500 organs this year.
J. P. Fisher, of Auburn, has been
fined $50 and $22 was for violating
the Scott Act, The ease will be ap-
pealed.
Wm. Duncan, of Blyth, has gone to
Napanee, where he has secured a situ•
ation as head sawyer in a large mill at a
salary of $1,500,
The other day Mr. Messer, treasurer
of the Bluevale cheese factory, distri-
buted $2,500 among the farmers of Morris

to the factory.
Goo. Cummings has sold farm lot 26,
con. 10, East Wawanoeh containing 200
acres to G. Forgie, of Turnberry, for
$6,300, Mr. Forgie has since declined
$400 for hie bargain.
The vote on the organ question taken
by ballot in the Presbyterion church,
Seaforth, resulted in a majority of 122
in favor of the organ, and the "kist o'
whistles" will be set going as soon as a
suitable instrument can be proonred.

FOOLISH WAYS OF MEN.
Ever watch a man as he takes a chair?
He'll move it -every time -even if it's
only an inoh. He wouldn't sit in it just
where it was for the world. Watch him
next time and see if he doesn't move it.
A woman will seat herself without
touching the chair -p woman is more
philosophical, anyhow.
Men are queer creatures, as every one
knows, comments a writer in The Phila-
delphia Press. A man will always stir
his coffee before -drinking it. This is
very foolish --he should taste it first to
see if it needs stirring.
Few men open their personal corres-
pondence without looking at the post-
marks to see the time of posting. Wo-
men, on the other hand, tear open the
envelope at once; they are in too much
of a hurry to waste any time.
When a man puts on his hat he al-
most always looks inside it first. What
he expects to see remains a mystery, but
he looks for it all the same.
He subjects the point of his pen to the
same careful scrutiny before commenc-
ing to write a letter. A women starts
right off -jabs her pen in the inkpot and
straightaway begins to scribble as if her
life depended on it.
It is the man who reads with his back
to the light, holding his book in one
hand. Herein lies wisdom. A woman
rests her book on the table and leans
both elbows thereon. But the foolish-
ness of the man's act lies in the fact
that is seeking comfort and seldom takes',
this positionbeeanse it is the most scien-
tific one. Of coarse, he finds it isn't
comfortable -his arm aches after the '
first tea minutes, whereupon he pats his
book down and remarks he is going out.
It is the man whit.- lets oat secrets -
not by telling theca, bat by ill-timed
silences. He does worse -by refusing to
gratify the cariosity of his questioners
he invariably causes them to jump to
conclusions much more damaging than
the truth of the matter. --Retrofit Free

For dry, cracked lips, or rough skirt,
use Dr. Shoap's Green Salve. It posi-
tively makes lips and skin like velvet.

Diseases
{ HINT
of the Kidneys
NO one can afford to neglect de-
rangements of the kidneys.
The results are too painful and the
risk too great. Some of the symp-
toms are :-Pains in the back and
legs, gradual loss of flesh, deposits
in the urine, headaches, scanty,
dark -colored urine, painful, scalding
sensations when urinating, dropsical
!swelling of ankles and legs, irregu-
larity of the bowels, and gradual
failure of health and strength.
Judged by actual cures made, Dr.
Chase's 1idney-fiver Pills are the
most satisfactory treatment obtain.

are fortunate enough to know about
these handy little needles elflike them
Very much indeed for hemming and fell-
ing, as they are more conductive to lice
work than the larger ones.
An early and satisfactory way of mak•
ing fine hand -run tacks is to mark the
tucks en the sewing machine with the
attachment which comes for the purpose,
using a coarse needle, but to thread, and
afterward running by band in the holes
made b the machine needle. Ithis

We have come to the end of that dream
of the inexhaustibleness of the supply
of forme and forests. Now, at immense
expense, Uncle Sain is engaged in stor-
ing the water that falls on the westertk
mountains to create fertility in regions
of barrenness in order that tillable land-
Mae,
and•Ma , be provided for those who wilt
make it fruitful. We have become con-
scious suddenly, says the Boston Her-
ald, that our forest policy has been
wasteful of resources almost beyond
possibility of calculation, The lesson:
which many European governments.
have learned that the destruction of the
forests is a policy that tends to the Im-
poverishment ofthepeople, le now
borne in upon us with force. We are be-
coming aware of the truth of natural
science that the mountain forests are
not only one important source of the
fertility of the plains, but the guarantee
of its continuance, and the most perfect
security against freshets that ft11 tber

structive overflow of their banks, wast-.
Ing the labor bestowed on roads and -
etructures and crops,
Ages have been required for the slurs
gathering on mountain sides of the thin:
soil which supports the growth of for-
ests that in turn add an increment to the
soil. When the forests are cut away
this double growth ceases. It is a com-
mon oiinion that anew growth of trees
will at once begin aqd flourish. This
is not the fact. Deprived of shade, ex-
posed to the sun and winds, its binding
network of living roots decaying, the
soil is washed by the floods from the
rocks, leaving them bare. Wherever,
as has been the case over hundreds and
perhaps thousands of square miles, fires
have followed the iumberman'a work,
and often have far overpassed the ex-
tent of it, the seeds of vegetable life are
destroyed. Irremediable barrenness
succeeds. No longer does a spongy mold
absorb the rain and hold it, to be slowly
drained away. The torrents of the
storm flow down the mountain sides un-
checked and irresistible, doing vast
damage hundreds of miles away,
The most extensive, dlveraifled and
valuable forest in the United States east
of the Mississippi river is that -of the
southern Appalachian ranges, covering
an area estimated to be 4,000,000 acres,
in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, North Carolina, South Caro-
lina, Georgia and Alabama. Here are
the sources of great rivers that float
southeasterly Into the Atlantic, south-
erly into the gulf of Mexico, and wind-
ing through western Virginia, Tennes-
see and Kentucky, constitute the feed-
ers of the Ohio, a main tributary of the
Mississippi, which also has its outlet
in the gulf. It is certain that the de-
nudation of these ranges of their noble
virginal forest, in which are 137 differ-
ent varieties of trees, that have been
described by government experts, in-
cluding the finest virginal hardwood
;groves on the continent, would, i•i the
judgment ot scientific men, affect alt
these states with serious and contin-
uing Imes. Yet this work of devasta-
tion is going on with increasing rapid-
ity, and in a few years will be practic-
ally complete, unless it is arrested by the
appropriation of these mountain masses
as a government reservation, a step
which the states concerned are ready to
support and aid.
It is estimated by the committee of
the United States senate on . forest
reservations that during the last year
floods in the rivers of the Piedmont
plateau and the valleys of western Vir-
ginia and eastern Tennessee swept away
buildings, farms, bridges, and woods ex-
ceeding in value the sum of $18,000,000,
and- that a Large part of this loss would
have been prevented if the forests about
the river sources had been preserved
and protected. The secretary of agricul-
ture, in a report to the president, says
that more gond soil is now washed from
these cleared mountain side fields dur-
ing a heavy rain than during centuries
under a forest cover. This is saying
that the cleared lands are not perma-
nently available for farms. Their soil
is rapidly carried off. What becomes
of it? It makes unnavigable and use-
iess for comnlerciat purposes hundreds
of miles of formerly navigable rivers. It
goes to.fiil tip harbors that must be con-
tinually dredged at large cost to be avail-
able tor shipping. The waterfall over
this range is very large, commonly about
100 inches in the year. Under naterat,
conditions It was drained off slowly;
under artificial conditions it rushes in
deluges through the streams to the sea,
a source of harm instead of benefit,
