NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Here in Ontario are the climate, the
soil, the arboriculture, the scenery and
the diversity of Iake and wood, of purl-
ing rill and green -velvet hillsides, that
make existence a pleasure and the ob-
taining of a living easy. Everything
conduces to the good, and where wrong
is, it is man who introduces it. Many a
young man is leaving Ontario who will
regret it. Many a boy is throwing up a
competency here for an expectancy
there. Riches may Dome faster there,
and wheat -gold and land -gold grow big-
ger, yet it is at the expense of comfort,
or quite life and unsatisfied wanderings.
Tho determination to do things in On
tariao will produce great things in our
soil, Intensity of soil culture and of
brain energy is needed. Applications of
that persistency to win and the ontting
loose from customs that enchain, will
make the Ontario . boy the king of hie
fellows. Young men who are thinking
of leaving for the West ought to draw
up pictures of what can be done here by
intensive culture. They should look at
the discomforts of a life in the west at
first and thea decide whether the star of
destiny doer not stand. still over the
green fields and the placid streams of
old Ontario.-Comber,Herald.
AN APPRECIATION OF CANADA.
In writing of the Colonial Conference
and "The Colonies Concerned," Harold
Rylett in the Loudon (Eng.) Tribune
has this to say of Canada:
Let us glance at the Colonies individu-
ally. No mere figures suffice to give an
adequate idea of their extent or resour-
ces. It is necessary to travel through
the countries themselves, ns I have been
privileged to do, quite recently, in order
to realize what our self-governing colon-
ies really are, and even then it is by no
moaus easy to tell the tale. It is easy to
say that the Dominion of Canada has
an area of three and three•gnartere mil-
lions of square miles,a population rapid-
ly approaching six millions, a trade a•
mounting to a hundred millions sterling,
of which forty millions is done with the
United Kingdom; but it is necessary to
travel day after day and night after
night for weeks together in the mag-
nificently appointed trains of the Cana-
dian Pacific, Grand Trunk, and Great
Northern Railways of Canada, through
the practically illimitable when; grow-
ing prairies of Manitoba and the North-
west; it is necessary to linger in the
superb fruit -growing districts of Ont-
ario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia,
and the mining regions of this latter
province; to wander through the superb
scenery of the Rockies, and spend some
time with the lumberman in the for-
ests of Vancouver Island, and some
again with the fishermen on the coasts,
and to see everywhere groups of intelli-
gent, keen and go•ahead people "develop-
ing the country'' -laughing at the dif-
ficulties. revelling in them rather, tak-
ing no more account of frost and snow.
so often spoken of in this country as a
terror than we should take of a shower
of rain -it is necessary to have experi-
ence such as this to be able to realize
what Canada is and to form even the
faintest idea of what she may become.
Statistics tell as that people are pour-
ing into the country -128,000 in 1903;
130,000 in 1904; 146,000 in 1905; and
189,000 in 1906, and 300,000 estimated for
the current year. But Canada heartily
welcomes them and offers to all an op•
portunity of earning a comfortable liv-
ing, provided they have the good Renee
to work on the land. The government
of the country is similar to our own ex -
Complicated
Liver Troubles
Mr. John Wilson, carpenter, Welland,
Ont., writes: -"Some years ago I was
attacked with kidney trouble, and I be-
came so run down and emaciated that
my entire appearance was suggestive of
physical decline. As tirne went on the
complaint grew worse and became com-
plicated with liver trouble. I had bad
pains across the back and up the spinal
column, had bad spells with my heart,
pain under the right shoulder, bilious
headache about half the time, indiges-
tion, fever, and restleeeness at night, and
drpr; ssion of spirits.
"I spent about one hundred dollars in
medicines, with no perceivable results.
Dort ors'advice proved likewiseof noavail.
"Finally, on the advice of a friend, 1
began taking Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver
Pi11e, and in a short time the bad sytnp•
tome began to gradually disappear, and
by the time 1 had wed five or six boxes
X was enjoying better health than 1 had
in many years, all of which is due to the
virtues of Dr, Chase's Kidney -Liver

cent that thorn is a series or local 1eRis-
latures, and there is no hereditary peer-
age. The senators of the Dominion
Parliament are, however, appointed for
life, and are nominated by the Governor-
Geueral on the advice of Minister,.
Members of both Houses are paid, sena-
tns receiving about £500 per annum
and members of the Lower House the
same sum per session, The important
thing to note about the Canadian Con-
etitutiou is that the Dominion Perlia -
went has the amplest powers of legisla•
tion in all matters save such as it delis -
gates to the provincial legislatures. This
is the reverse of the position of affairs
in the United States and ,Australia and
ire interesting in view of the fact that
both the latter countries are becoming
conscious of the disadvantages under
which they labor in this respect. This
supremacy of the Dominton Parliament
is responsible for the sense of solidarity
which pervades Canada, and has not a
little to do with the growth of the ides
of national independence.
THE MASK OF HEALTH.
Few People Are Really as Well as
They Look. Cause and Remedy
Many people in Wingham, both men
and women, who believe themselves to
be in perfect health, a -e often in the
greatest danger.
The most common cause of ill health
is indigestion, with a myrl d of symp-
toms such as headaohe, sleeplessness,
specks before the eyes, pains in the
back and side, distress after eating, etc
Iu the last few years the success of
physicians everywhere with Mi-o•na
stomach tablets has made them known
far and wide as the acknowledged spa -
Milo for the treatment of stomach dis-
eases They strengthen the digestive
organs so that in a few days the stom-
ach is in such shape that it takes oare
itself of all the food that is eaten with-
out pain or distress.

nuqualified guarantee that your money
will be refunded unless Mi o-na onres
He takes the whole risk and the remedy
will not cost you a penny unless it cures
you.
PEAT INDUSTRY
WILL BE FOSTERED.
The high prices of imported coal in
the middle provinces of Canada, the de•
pietism of our forests, together with the
increasing value of the forests for other
purposes and the suffering induced on
account of scarcity of fuel in recent
years, consequent upon labor conditions,
are causes which have again prominent-
ly brought forward the question of uti-
lizing the peat bogs of Ontario and Que-
bec for the production of marketable
fnel and other purposes.
The estimated area so far distributed
over the different provinces of the Do-
minion is 37,000 square miles, with an
average depth of from eight to ten feat
Further investigation will undoubtedly
prove that this estimate represents but a
fraction of the total area of available
peat
The comparative fuel value of coal,
peat and wood is: One ton of coal is
equal to 1 8 tone of peat, or 2 5 tons of
wood.
The recent improvements in gas pro•
dicers and gas engines have opened upa
new field for the utilization of peat and
Iignite. A power plant located at the
peat bog, using producer gas derived
from peat, may furnish electric energy
and be transmitted to the market in the
same way as in the case of hydro -electric
energy. Other industries in Europe us-
ing peat as a raw material are at present
either developed • or in progress of de-
velopment, such as the manufacture of
peat, coke, wood alcohol, moan litter,
eto. •
' Several attempts have been made to
manufacture peat for fuel in Canada,
but with few oxceptione these attempts
have resulted in financial failures. These
failures are in many cases; largely due
to want of information regarding the
processes employed in Europe, where
the peat industry has been in successful
operation fcr many years.
To furnish this needed information
the Hon. Mr. Templeman, Minister of
Mines, has nppointed Mr, Erick Ny-
strom, an engineer on the staff of the
mines branch, to investigate the peat
industry in Europe. Mr. Nystrom has
been instructed to proceed to Holland,
Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland
and Gerthany to study the different
peat plants in operation and collect all
available infoemation in regard to the
methods of working peat bogs, ma-
chinery used, cost of production, and
the subject treatment of the peat into
briquettes for fuel. It will be his duty
to familiarize himself with the different
processes invented and in use in the
different countries named and report on
the commercial possibilities of these
proossses. Ile will thus be qualified t 7
act on his return as the Government ex-
pert on the subject of peat and Iignite,
to give advice to prospective manufae-
turers of peat fuel and also assist in the
making out of plane for their plants and
for the drainage of their bogs. Mr. Ny-
strom will leave for Europe at onoe and
begin the investigation, His report, I,
is expected, will be ready early next
fall.

WHAT ARE THEY WORTH?
Try and Answer This Yourself.
In dollars and cents what is the worth
of the brawn of your arm; what is the
value of the staying power that permits
continuous labor -what are they worth
to yon?
Suppose yon did something so foolish
as to reduce your strength, vitality or
judgment ono half, and it were imposs-
ible to get them back, -how much would
you pay to regain the lost portion?
When you let yourself run down, yon
reduce your chances for success in life
-if sleeplessness comes you score lower
still -should appetite or digestion fail,
you are stared in the face by physical
barkrnptoy.
Don't let it go so far, take Ferrozone,
it has cured thousande and it will (sure
yon; it builds up bodily strength, makes
musoles like steel, replaces spring tired-
ness by energy and new life. Ferro -
zone rebuilds sink folks beoanse it con-
tains the strengthening element that
every run-down system requires.
Especially before the not weather
comes, everyoue needs a purifying tonin
-Ferrozone $els the bill exactly•-
uothing known that javenates and up•
lifts so fast.
At once the appetite improves. You
rest well and arise next morning feeling
fine.
Headaches disappear, weakness give
way to the vigor that only Ferrozone
can supply. Try it, results are guar-

THE DRIVING POWER
OF A GREAT STEAMER
One of the most impressive manifesta-
tions of the power of the modern steam
engine is the sight of an up-to-date
freight locomotive starting a train of 40
or 50 cars, and gathering way, until the
whole mass is thundering over the rails
at a speed of 2b or 30 miles an hour.
When we attempt by our unaided
strength to move a heavy piece of furni-
ture, we understand very well what is
meant by mass and inertia. To move a
single loadedfreight oar on the level by
human power it is necessary to crowd
around it as many men as can lay their
hands or shoulders against it in a united
propulsive effort. And hence, when we
see not one, but 40 or 60 loaded oars,
started from rest and swung into their
full stride by a single locomotive, the
latter becomes symbolical in the popular
mind of majestic power.
It is for this reason that to represent
the horsepower which will be necessary
to drive the new Cunard liners at 243
knots an hour, we have taken the aver-
age -sized freight locomotive as our unit
of comparison, The least amount of
power which the designers of the Lnsi-
tania and Mauretania found would be
necessary to drive these ships at their
contract speed was 68,000 horsepower.
Now, the horsepower of the average
freight locomotive is about 2,100, and,
consequently, the total thrust on the
four p-opellers of eaoh of these ships
will be equal to the total pull exerted by
82 modern American freight engines.
One of these locomotives could haul ,on
the level a train of 60 cars, whose total
length would be just a third of a mile.
Consegnently the whole 68,000 -power of
the Cunarder, expressed in terms of
locomotive work, would be sufficient to
haul a train of 1,600 cars, whose total
length would be over five miles.
To develop a minimum of 68,000 -horse.
power, and a maximum that will possibly
run up to 75,000 or 80,000 -horsepower,
calls for a boiler and engine plant of
truly titantio proportions. Steam will
be supplied by 25 cylindrical boilers, of
which 23 are double -ended, and two
single ended, the former being 17 feet 3
inohes in diameter and 21 feet long.
The coal will be burned in these boilers
on 192 furnaces, the total area of whose
grates would be .represented by a square
measuring 64 feet on each side, contain-
ing about 4,000 square feet of enrface.
Night and day an army of several hun-
dred firemen will be continuously shovel-
ing coal into these furnaces, where it
will be burned at the rate oP about 1,000
tons every 24 hours; and to insure that
the coal is burned at a fierce white heat,
the air will be forced through the grates
continuously by means of powerful elec-
trically -driven fans, the rush of air being
also assisted by the four great smoke-
stacks, through which the products of
combustion will be discharged high up
in the air, at about 150 feet above the
level of the grate bars.-Scientifio

One of the few remaining pioneersot

of Mr John Sprung, after an illness of
only three weeks. She experienced a
stroke of paralysis three weeks ago from
which she never recovered. Deceased
whose maiden name was Oatharino B,

THE WOMAN AT HOMg,
Never eorape an iron enamel pot or
pan, as that is what ruins it.
Zino is beat cleaned with hot, soapy
water, then polish with kerosene and
coal ash.
When polishing stoves a fine gloss is
obtained by adding a teaspoonful of
alum to the ordinary blank lead.
When making a steamed or boiled
pudding put a plait in the cloth at the
top to allow the pudding to swell.
To clean a fishy frying pan fill with
oold water and place on the fire to boil,
When boiling put a red hot cinder in,
than wash in tho usual way.
Turpentine and beeswax melted to
the consistency of thin Dream makes a
fine polish for leather upholstered furni-
ture.
The tops of old stockings make excel-
lent dust cloths, as they neither aoratoh
nor sh d lint. Sewed over a square of
leather cat from a shoe top they make
desirable holders, pliable to the hand,
but because of the leather, slow to heat
through.
Whipped. Dream added at the last urin-
ate before sending to the table is a great
addition to the Dream soup, whatever
Ito kind,
For a vegetable shied, that is partion-
larly palatable for warm weather, scoop
the pulp from ripe, apple -shaped toma-
toes and fill the oavity with diced en-
cumbers and green peppers blended with
anchovies and dressed with mayonnaise.
To prevent cake from sticking to tins
when baked first grease tins, thea flour
them, lightly beating out all loose flour,
leaving only what clings to the grease,
thus doing away with the old form of
lining with paper.
In laundering white spreads or any
large piece where difficulty is experieno-
ed in finding the large soiled spots a
good plan is to fasten a piece of black
silk thread to most soiled plicae. The
spots can then be easily detected.
The shite that shows a serge skirt or
jacket to be no longer new can easily be
removed by sponging the garment with
bluing water, each Gas is used to Launder
clothes. While still damp press the
goods ander a thin cloth,
When the scalp is affected with dand-
ruff in any form it is absolutely nebes-
sary to be scruenlonsly careful with re-
gard to the cleanliness of the hair brush-
es. Hair brushes, when the scalp is
quite healthy, should always be washed
once a week, and twice a week is not
too often.
Soak all evaporated fruits, but only
in water to coyer; too much makes them
watery. All such traits are the better
for being first placed in cold water to
cover for a ()maple of hours: then well
scrubbed with one of the small brushes
that come for the purpose and cost 2

in which they are to remain all night.

Man With Wooden Hat 1
_ A young Scotsmanthe was shown intilr
the ofllce of a great engineer at 13lr-r
mingham, He was wearing a hat or
extraordinary shape, and at his nerv-
ousness at meeting the man of fame he
let tho hat slip. It fell with a hollow
thud upon the floor. The engineer look-
ed with astonishment at the thing. The
owner picked It up and apologised ter
the noise It had caused. It was of
wood, he explained, He had, made in
himself, turning it With his father's
lathe. The engineer thought that there
Must be something in a than who could
think out and make such a thing as
iilis. He forthwith engaged him, kept
ex eye upon him and gave him Work
of responsibility. The engineer was
Boultou; the new man, William Mur-
dock. The man with the wooden bat
was gent away to Cornwall, and when
he returned it was to light up his tears-
ter's premises with gas. The mind
which first practically applied the coal
gas to the purpose of fighting Lived In-
side that wooden hat. -St. James' Ga-
zette.
Good Manners.
A friend of yours and mine has vers
justly defined good breeding to be "the
result of much good sense, some good:
nature and a little self denial for the
sake of others, and with a view to ob-
tain the same indulgence from them_"
Taking this for granted -as I think it
cannot be disputed -it is astonishing to
me that anybody who has good sense
and good nature can essentially fait
in good breeding. As to the modes of
it, indeed, they vary according to per-
sons, places and circumstances and are
only to be acquired by observation and
experience, but the substance of•it
everywhere and eternally the same_
Good manners are to particular socie-
ties what good morals are to society iR
general -their cement and security.
And as laws are enacted to enforce
goon morals or at least to prevent the
ill effects of bad ones, so there are cer-
tain rules of civility, universally im-
plied and received, to enforce good
Manners and punish bad ones. -Ches-
terfield.
Made For Fat Men.
One of the narrow arches In the gal-
lery of the chapel at Columbia univer-
sity is not exactly symmetrical, al-
though the defect is not noticeable to
the casual observer. The reason for
the widening of the arch after its orig-
inal construction had rise la a some-
what humorous occurrence. One of
the early visitors was a remarkably fat
man, who found himself wedged Into
the arch when he tried to squeeze
through and was extricated with some
difficulty. The builders, recognizing
the possibility of other fat people be-
ing numbered among the future vis-
itors, decided to widen the arch, sac-
rificing symmetry and harmony to
practical need; as the pier was so con-
structed ns to bear no loss of width
on one of its sides.
Caribou Horns.
Not one out of every ten female cari-
bou bas horns, When they do have
them, they are much smaller thane
those of the bull.u The horns of the
female have, however, in general many
more branches than those of the bull,
and they are much more regularly rind
finely formed. The cows carry their
• horns much longer than the bulls,
They have been seen with their horns
In .the month of April. The old bulls
shed their horns from the' 10th to the
last of November. They hardly ever.
carry them after the month of Novem-
ber. The young bulls shed theirs from
the first of December until the middle'
of February. The younger the animal
the longer he retains his horns.
Mountain of the Sacred Footprint.
Adam's peak, or Mount Samanala, a
rugged Mountain in the island of Cey-
lon, is known throughout the. orient as
the "Mountain of the Sacred hoot
print." Ina flat, rocky basint the
foot of this molutain in stono as hardy
as blue granite there is the Perfect im-,
print of a gigantic human foot, five and;
one-half feet long by two and one-half,
feet wide. The Ceylonese Brahmans
have n legend to the effect that the im-
print was made by Adam, our first par-
ent, but the Buddhists declare- that it
could have been made by no one but
Buddha,

Water. Needles.
So penetrating is water at high pres-
sure that only special qualities of cast .
iron will be tight against it. In the
early days of Jhe hydraulic jack It was,
no uncommon thing to see the water,'
issuing like a fine needle through the
metal, and the water needle would
penetrate the unwary' finger just as
readily as a steel one.
Cash or Credit.
Women should not get credit. Nei-
ther should men. Cash is the cure.
Tradesmen maybe wotild have a bid;
time for six or twelve months, and
many a lady 'would have to "Ile low,"
but in the end wo would get both our,
trade and our, money, anjl she would;
get her dress and at far less colt.-'
