',Chicago Record -Herald.] A steamboat on a recent trip Had on a load of dynamite, And when she struck another ship AS things went skyward in the night. A poor old dog lay on the deck 'With not a leg with which to jump. An optimist was in the wreck - He bad no legs left -scarce a stump. As cad friends came to see biro die A pmile lit up his features fair, And with a faint and feeble ory He thus addressed the mourners there: .-'Cheer up! My plight is not so bad! ' 3'm dying, yet 1'l1 not feel blue; I aright have been a quadruped, And lost four lege, instead of two!" HOUSE CLEANING TIME.

NEWS NOTES, Grand Trunk maebleiata from Strat- ford to Montreal are reported to be ready to strike unless their demands for more pay are conceded. The government railways revenue last year of the State of Victoria, Aus- tralia was the largest on record, being after payment of the interest, $1,025,000. The state's exports last year inoreased by nearly $20,000,000. Stewart 0.

They started on Wednesday night to Wash- ington to be married, but were intercept- ed and brought back. Character In Itredlolne. In medicine, as in every sphere of human action, it is character that tells. Every prescription t bat Dr. A. W. Obese gave to bis fellowmen is full of char- acter, hill of the honest, sterling char- acter which made this grand old doctor respected, admired and loved by all who knew him. The integrity of Dr. Chase is shown in every one of his famous family medicines. Glass bathtubs are being made in Ger- many and are said to have adyantages over the metal and enamel, the prinoipal end being that they are much cheaper. They are made in a solid piece, and one can be turned out complete in about five minutes. LONGING FOR THE OPEN. Right Breathing Cures Catarrh. I am longing for the hillsides and the pastures wide and green, 'Where the blossoms of wild berries are beginning to be Been; I am longing to be straying where the sod is newly turned. Where the Iambs are blithely getting meals that they have never earned I am longing for the orobarda,with thea blossoms sweet and pink - 1I am longing to be out there, just to stroll around and think. I am longing for the open, where there are no whirring wheels, 'Where the speckled hen is clucking as she searohes for her meals, Where the long-leg'd oolte are playing while their mothers pull the plough Where the farmer weans the offspring of the faithful brindle cow, Where the toilers work till sunset, hav- ing started at the dawn - 1 am longing to be out there, merely as a Looker-on. I em longing for the freedom that the farmer's boy enjoys, ?'ar from where the crooning ticker s mocks the hopes which it destroys; Far from all the angry rabbles, far from smoke and clanging gongs, 'Where no agitators bellow, magnifying people's wrongs - o Oh, long to be there, caring little how the world is run, r Gamey watching other people do the work that mast be done, --S.

The only natural and common sense method known for the cure of oatharrh- al troubles is Hyo -mei. It is breathed through an ingehioas pocket inhaler, so that its medicated air reaches the most remote air cells of the nose, throat and lungs, killing all catarrhal germs, sooth- ing the irritated mucous membrane, and restoring a healthy condition. Hyo mei goes right to the spot where the catarrhal germs are present in the nose, throat and lungs and destroys the germs so that perfect health is soon re- stored. A complete Hy -o -mei outfit with in- haler costs but $1.00 and is sold by Walton McKibben under guarantee to refund the money unless the remedy gives satisfaction. An Irishman, wishing to take a home - teed, and not knowing just how to go about it, sought information from a friend.

Of all superstitions probably the most foolish is the idea that when a rash or sore is healed and cured by means of xternal applications it Will "strike in" nd do further harm. No reputable hysioian will give any countenance to nob a notion. Skin diseases of every orm end especially eczema, salt rheum, oald head, etc., are promptly relieved nd certainly oared by Dr. Chase's Oint- ent.

A. comic actor who had been engaged to entertain a family party proposed at the conclusion of the performance a little game of his own. Each, of the compauy, himself included, was to stake half a crown, and the pool would be taken by the person who possessed the most of the articles which he (the comedian) would inquire for. On his assurance that he would take no mean advantage, but run the same risk as the rest, all the members of the party consented, and between £3 and £4 was soon laid ou the table. The actor add- ed his piece to the pool, with a cun- ning smile, and then said: "Now, which of you ladies and gen- tlemen happen to have the greatest number of false teeth?" Deathlike sIleuce reigned for about a minute, then a burst of laughter, both hearty and in some ewes forced. "1 have three," continued the actor. "Who has got mole?" The comedian took the pool. -London Tit -Bits. Senator Bate's Authority. The late Seuator William 13. Bate of Tennessee was a major general in the Confederate army and never quite red- onelled himself to the defeat of the south. Soon after he came to the sen- ate he formulated a set of rules which he called "Rules for my proper legis- lative guidance." Whenever a proposi- tion came up about which he was un- decided he would take the printed slip containing these rules from his pocket and study it carefully. "Bate," said a colleague one day, "what is that slip of paper to which you refer so frequently?" "nut," said Senator Bate, "is a little reminder of my belief on constitutional questions." "Where did you get it? Think it out yourself?" "No, sub," replied Bate, with much dignity; "1 found most Of those immor- tal truths in the constitution of the Confederate States of America." "Orchestra" and "Noise." In Shakespeare's time no musical dictionary could have distinguished between "orchestra" and "band," for the simple reason that neither word was then English In a musical sense. "Orchestra" did not arrive before the eighteenth century and even "band" not until the latter half of the seven- teenth, when Charles U. had a "baud of violins,' in imitation probably of Loris F I V.'s "bande." The old Eng- lish word . for a band of music was "noise." "Sec if thou canst find out Sneak's noise. Jtistress Tearsheet would fain hear some music." says one drawer to the other at the Boar's ILeed tavern. And juM• so Ben Jonson has "a noise of fiddlers" and "a noise of trumpets," The obi word is wanted for many a gathering of musicians out- side this writer's tiat.-I ondon Chron- icle.

CHILD LABOR IN. CANADA, The Rising Generation Must Se Pre tested From Lurking Dangers, Canada is on the threshold of great industrial development. Now the time to place the conditions o industry on a Sound basis, before th evils that have grown up under olde civilizations have made headway Great Britain has had to deal witi the evil of child labor in factories In the Southern States of the Unio the employment of children has be come u great abuse, and Senator lee eridge is making a strong effort t protect children by legislation. Th speech of Mr. T. H. Preston in the Legislature was timely, and a prudent reminder that the same problem must be taken up here. Mr. Preston says that Ontario has fallen behind in this respect, instead of tnkine a true position in the van of civilization. The age limit provided in the Shops Act, ten years, should be made to conform with the age limit in the Factory and Truancy Acts, 14 years. Ten years is too young for (employment in a store. No educa- tional standard is required of child- ren before they are ,permitted to work, and many illiterates are em- nleyed- The law says khat a girl under 1 rrrrst not be employed for more than 10 hours a day; but there is no 'josh for boys, who may be employed for any number of hours, either night or dos'. Another defect is that the provi- ;;ions of tiro Factory Act do not amply to work done in the home. Dwelling horses are erten the worst of sweat shops, and in New York children three years of nee have been found malting artificial flowers. Again, the Ontario laws do rot provide for deal- ing efficiently with street trades, such as the selling of newspapers. In some cities bons ruder 10 and girls of any age are forbidden to sell newspapers; yet a six-year-old boy was found at night telling tales to excite the sym- pathy of customers, and a newsboy of eir'ht. years was run over and killed. Mr. Preston also pays there should he a law forbilling boys under 16 to work in any place where liquor is sold, and a law defining what are dangerous occupations for children. Abundant evidence has been produced and that well -considered measures are required. French Similes For "Drunk." The l.� reach Hare sown interesting similes of their own correspouailag to the English "drunk as a lord" or a "drunk as a wheelbarrow," says a is Loudon writer. The most generlily recognized one, in the case of "lyre,' the less extreme and less vulgar word , tor drunk," is ""Ivre eomme rue coupe" -""soups" meaning the piece of bread eaten with soup as well as the soup it n self, and a bouillon soaked piece of - bread offering a natural 'simile for sat - o uration. When the less delicate "soul" is used instead of "lure;" the Preach - CANADA IS ViCTiMIZED. German Cutlery Sent Out As Shef- field -Produce Market Good. Some valuable hints to Canadian producers and shippers, as well as to importers, are contained in a report to the Trade and Commerce Depart- ment by the agent at Leeds. He notes the arrival of a consignment of Cana- dian Baldwin apples, packed in boxes of 125 apples each, which were re- marked ns being :ar ahead of New Zealand fruit. They brought from $1.44 to $1.50 per box. Canadian bac- on and hams are reported to be in good demand, as is also hay of the proper quality at $20 to $24.50 per ton. He says that Canadian pig iron, if of more uniform quality, would com- mand 50 per cent. higher prices. As it is it sells for 110 shillings per ton, as against 54 to GO shillings for Middles- borough. Swedish, however, sells for 130 to 200 shillings. In the matter of the cutlery trade he says: "I am in- formed that a very large amount of German cutlery, razors, etc., is ship- ped from Germany to Sheffield and is then exported and sent to Canada as Sheffield goods." The West Is Moving. C. R. Morden of Regina, Sask., re- cently spoke of the outlook for the west as follows: "The west is a moving country, I have seen great development in the last two years both in rural and urban places. It is wonderful, the improve- ments in Regina in the last seven months. I think there are several rea- sons wiry the west is being rapidly developed, For instance, no country has ever been advertised the way the Canadian west has been advertised, as the means of international adver- tising is in a more perfect shape to- day than it ever was before. Again, it is the last west, and the people are convinced of that. "The means of transportation are more thoroughly equipped than at any time and people can make their desired hone with less resistance than it was possible before. Lack of opportunity in older countries induces large numbers to come to this land of opportunity. Steam plows, traction separators, self -binders, wide drills and other farm labor-saving devices are bringing about the quick develop- ment of this country and consequent- lyaquick rise in land c values. No fencing or fertilizing problem con- fronts the westerner, which gives the land a strong earning power. "They are cosmopolitan people. They are there from all over the world. For instance, I conducted an auction sale of oxen and furniture in the City of Saskatchewan and there were people at that sale from the Ar- gentine Republic, South Africa, Aus- tralia, the United States, England, Scotland, Germany .and Russia. "I think the Hudson l3ay Road is bound to be built. I suppose we west- erners are what you consider an un- conventional. Blass, and we are not strongly tied with old party preju- dices; and we are convinced that the way to get what we want is to demand and vote for it; so you can be sure that the Hudson Bay Road will be built. I do not know that it will make any difference with the eastern cit- ies r probably it will in some ways, but with the growth and prosperity of the west, the eastern cities will manu- facture, and to supply the western area will be kept good and Iively. There will be a network of railways all through that Country in a very short time. The grading is a simple matter over that level country and the Hur- ley track -Laying machine is a quick operator, so you see the construction comparatively simple and the busi- Hess is already ad deer for r them.

"If you should visit a Japanese house," said an oriental, "you would' be obliged to remove your shoes at the doorway. Japanese floors are very beautifully kept. I know of some houses where thirty or forty servants have no other duty than the polishing Of the floors, A young Japanese stu- dent, studying in London, had the mis- fortune to live in an apartment house where the janitor did not keep the hall in very good condition. It was a great change to him, and he felt it keenly. On the approach of winter the janitor put up in the entrance the no- tice, 'PIease wipe your feet.' The young Japanese, the first night he ob- served this notice, took out a pencil and added to It, 'On going out." A Tale of Red Tape. Among the tales of reel tape the fol- lowing should hold a high place: M. Roger Cavailhon, a young French gen- ; tleman rider, who had won his hun- I dredth steeplechase, was drawn for the conscription and had to serve for I a year. Ile asked to be placed in the cavalry, explaining with due modesty that he was not unknown as a horse- man. The military council of revision refused the request on the ground that as his period of service was only one year he would not have time to learn to ride. A Strong Reason. The bookkeeper of a sportsmen's publication received a letter one day from an old subscriber stating that he had long read It with interest and was aware that it was throe to renew his subscription, but did not wish to do so, as ale would not need it in the fu- ture. It was not noticed that the post- mark was that of a town in which a state prison is located, but the post- script was eloquent. It said, "P. S.-- 1 am to be hanged next week." In a Studio.
