NOTES AND COMMENTS. dairy, and a clean eonaoience, We firmly disbelieve in farmer, that will not improve; in farina that grow poorer every year; in starving cattle; in farmer's boyo turning into olerke and merebante; in farmers' daughters un- willing to work; and in all ferment ashamed of their vocation, or who drink whiskey until honest peopleareashamed of them. -Green's Il'ruit-grower, The Salvation Army plans to bring some 26,000 British immigrants. to Can- ada next year. Nearly one-half of that number it proposes to settle in Ontario. In the season past something over 15,000 were brought out, and about 7,000 Locat- ed in this province, Oommissioner Coombs, Colonel Lamb, chief of the English department of emigration and colonization, and Brigadier Howard, re- presenting the eirmy, waited upon Prime Minister Whitney and Hon.

[John Boyle O'Reilly.] There are times when a dream delicfoua Steals into a music hour. Like a face with lave esprioione Tbat peeps from a woodland bower; And one dear scene coulee changeless, A. wooded bill and a river, A deep, cool bend, where the lilies end, And the elm, tree ehedowe quiver, And I lie on the brink there dreaming That the life I live is a dream, That the real life is but the seeming, And the true is the sun.flecked stream; Beneath me the perch and the beaver nail by, Ia the dim, eool depths of the river; The struggling Sy breaks the mirrored sky, And the elm tree shadows quiver. Recent statistics showing an increase in oatarrh have shaken the confidence of medical men in the usual preeoriptions to safeguard human health from the ravages of this disease. When etomaoh dosing proved ineffec- tive, it was natural to look for some other treatment, and it is believed that in Hyo - mei an absolute care for all catarrhal troubles has at last been found. Breath- ed through a neat pooket inhaler, its healing medication reaches every spot where there are catarrhal germs, destroys them, prevents their future, growth, and sootbes the irritated mucous membrane so that relief is felt almost instantly, while lasting cure is practically sure to follow. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00, and is sold by Walton MoEibbon under an absolute agreement to refund the money if it does not give satisfaction. It is the only oure for catarrh that has ever been sold under a guarantee to cost nothing unless it cares, but Walton Mo- Kibbon has so much faith in its power to cure all catarrhal troubles that he is willing to take the risk, so if Hyomei does not help you, there will not be a penny's expense. Get an outfit at once on this liberal plan. Sweet Charity droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven. A few years ago there arrived at London, Ontario, a tiny girl, homesick and forlorn. For years she worked on a farm, and as she grew her desire to see her mother and little brother in far -away England oorrerpondingly increased. To bring them to Canada she did not possess the means, and finally her heartache drove her weary miles to London, where she told her tale to the Salvation Army. Her little story of dis- tress was published in the London papers, and what happened? Already the sum of $108 has been subscribed, and soon there will be sufficient to bring the moth- er and brother to Canada, and make three hearts happy, -Hamilton Spectator, The poor country editor bas to worry along and has to hustle around to gather in the few miserable but elusively nimble dollare that are owed him by his patrons (?) and at the same time hunt np all the news, say as many nice things as he can to keep his readers in good humor, run the affairs of his community as well as ot the state generally. and wait for his money until his debtors get good and ready to pay, while meeting bills and paying bank drafts and wages, which would be easily met if his so -cal ed pat- rons would bo more prompt and regular in their payments, and after a strenuous fight for existence lay his weary bones down and die before his worth to the community is recognized. -Parry Sound North Star. A Farmers Creed. The following farmer's creed, form- ulated nearly three-quarters of a century ago, by Henry Ward Beecher, the famous patriotic and public orator, one of the first editors of The Indiana Farmer, holds good to -day as well as then: We believe in small farms and thoro Cultivation. We believe that soil loves to eat as well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be liberally fed. We believe in large Drops which leave the land better than they found it - making the farmer and the farm both glad at once. We believe in going to the bottom of things, and therefore, in deep plowing and enough of it. All the better with a subsoil plow. Wo believe that every farm shoull own a good farmer. We believe that the beet fertilizer for any soil is a spirit of industry, enterprise and intelligence. Without this, lime and gypsum, bone and green manure, marl and guano, will be of little use. We believe in good fences, good barns, good farmhouses, goo' stook, good or- chards, and children enough to gather the fruit. We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife In it, a clean cupboard, a clean Constipation and Bleeding Piles There are voices of children away on the hill; There are bees through the flag -Sowers humming; The lighter man calla to the clock, and the mill On the farther side is drumming; And I sink to sleep in my dream of a dream, In the grass by the banks of the river, Where the voices blend and the lilies end, And the elm tree shadows quiver. Like a gift from the past is the kindly dream, For the sorrow and passion and pain Are adrift like the leaves on the bresst of the stream, And the child -life oomes again. 0, the sweet, sweet pain of a joy that died! Of a pain that is joy forever 1 0, the life that dies in the stormy tide That was once in my sun-fleoked river. Failures in Canada. Insolvencies in the Dominion of Can- ada for the first nine months of 1907, were 870 in number and $8,000,128 in amount of liabilities, which compares with 867 failures last year when the amount involved was $6,826,386. While the comparison is somewhat unfavorable for the last year, it is found by going further back that liabilities in 1907 were smaller than in four of the preceeding nix, ears and the same is true as to the Y number of failures. Thio year's manu- facturing insolvenoies number 249 and involved $4,022,C62, against 212 failures last year for $2,769,869. There was little change in the trading division, 643 failures for $3,676,716 comparing with 637 defaults for $3,615,475. The liabili- ties of $301,350 this year compare with $441,045 in 1908. Mr. John Hughes, Dexter street, St. Catharines, Ont., and who has been a resident of that city for forty-five years, states: "Et is a satisfaction to speak a word on behalf of Dr. Chase's Ointment and Pi'ls. For five ;years I was sorely alilieted with constipation and itching, bleeding piles or hemorrhoids, which at times made me unfit for anything. I was in a most distressing and diecourag- nee condition, as I had taken considerable etofessionai treatment in vain. 'However, there cane a day when my tithe surprised me and also my neigh - 'tore, for I began the use of I)r. Chase's EidneeaLiver Pills and Ointment, and in a short time was greatly relieved. I persevered in the treatment until these rufous ailments had sill passed away. and I Was again enjoying my former vigor, having obtained Complete imnian- 3ty from pain, for which 1: feel very thankful."

Says Many Persons Here can be Made Happy Again by using this•Home- Made Mixture Their is so much Rhematism here in our neighborhood now that the follow- ing advice by an eminent authority, who writes for readers of a large Eastern daily paper, will be highly appreciated by those who suffer: Get from any good pharmacy one-half ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound onnd Kar n o P Kargon, three onnoea of Oomponnd Syrup Sarsaparilla. Snake these well in a bottle and take id tea- spoonful doses after each me '"and at bedtime; also drink plenty of good water. It is claimed that ter are few vic- tims of this dread and o wrens disease who fail to find ready ief in this sim- ple home made mixt re, and is most oases a permanent cure is the result. This simple recipe is said to strength- en and cleanse the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys so that they can filter and strain from the blood and system the poieone, acids and waste matter, which cause not only Rheumatism, but nnm- erous other diseases. Every man or woman here who feels that their kidneys are not healthy and active or who suffer from any urinary trouble whatever, should not hesitate to make np this mix- ture, as it to certain to do much good, and may save you from much misery and suffering after while. Our home druggists say they will either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription ready to take it our readers ask them. It is not only deliciously delightful to. eat, but Greii's White Swan.

STOP THE STRENUOUS LIFE Weakens the Tissues and Lessens Organic; Vitglity. The stress and strain of the eteemiong life in both oity and country tends to- wards stomach troubles. Five people suffer to -day where one did ten years ago with s:ok headache, dizziness, flatulence, distress after eat- ing, specks before the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleeplessness and many other symptoms of indigestion. All who are suffering with stomach troubles, and that means at least two out of three in Wiugbam and other towns. should use Mi-o-na etomaoh tab. lets. Nothing else is as safe, et effec- tive; nothing else can be so thoroughly relied upon to relieve all tronblts from indigestion as Mi -o na, It is not a mere digestive taken after the food is eaten, but a true tonic, stim- ulant and strr ngthener for the muscular walls of the stomach, inoreasing the flow of digestive fluids and putting the stomach into such condition that it does the work Nature expects of it. So reliable is Mi o -nn in its curative action that Walton MoKtbbon, with every 60 -cent box gives a guarantee to refund the money unless the, remedy does all that is claimed for it.

THE GIRLS WITH THE MUSIC ROLLS. [Chicago Record -Herald ] See them going in the mornings to the many studios. They are flocking in by hundreds, with what chances, goodness knows!

See them with their roils of MUSIC, as they go their many ways; Each from some grave -featured teacher has received nustinted praise. They are leaving foolish pleasures for the sweet rewards of art, They have dreams of future glory; each has courage in her heart: From the flats and from the mansions they are hurrying along, All supposing Fate has chosen them to cheer the world of song. They are plain and they are pretty; they are short and they ora tall, But one hope they share together, and one dream is dreamed by all; Future Calves by the dozen, future Mel- bas by the score, They go wildly sofeeohing daily till their diaphragms are sore, And if even one among them shall achieve the splendid height, It is well that they are hoping, that they try with all their might.

She writes : "It is with gratitude I tell how your heart and Nerve Pilin benefitted me, "I was very weak and run down,. had headaches nearly every day and very often would faint away, in fact, m doctor •said that sometime I would never come out of the faint. It was through One of your travelling agents that I was induced to try Milburn'e Heart and Nerve Pills and after taking three boxes I am glad to relate it has been a number of years since I had a fainting spell and scarcely aver have a headache.

When the first shook had passed she hurried out on to the lawn in front of her hotel, blessing her stars for he* escape. She felt that she was perfectly cool, for she remember- ed that she had left her powder puff be- hinj, and determi;Ied to h'Itve it. Her manner of recovering it Was as cool as the rest of her conduct. She sent a black servant into the tottering building after it. Kidney Disease And Its Danger. Kidney disease comes on quietly - may have been in the system for years, before you suspected the real cause of your trouble. There may have been backaches, neuralgia, sciatica, rheuma- tism, etc. Perhaps you did not know these were symptoms of kidney disease, so the trouble kept on growing worse, until disturbances of the water ap- peared, or there was gr,vel or retention of urine, or some such sign of ,kidney trouble. Doan's Kidney Pills should be taken at the first sign of anything wrong; they strengthen the kidneys and help them to filter the blood properly -help them to flush off, and carry away with the surplus water, all those impurities which the blood gathers up in its cir- cuit of the body. , Al Mrs. Alfred LeBlanc, Black Cape, Que., writes : "I feel it my duty to say a word about DoAN'S KIDNEY PILLS. I suffered dreadful pains woes my back -so bad I could not stoop or bend. After having used two boxes I now feel most completely cured. I highly re- commend DOAN's KIDNEY PILLS." TOWN Corned L -W.

Veteran Canadian Railway Builder Called "Uncle Donald" Sy King. At half -past nine o'clock on the: morning of November 7. 1885, at Craigollachie, British Columbia, as old man whose hair was snowy white, drove a golden spike into the cedar tie upon which the rails met from . east and west. The man was Donald Smith. The spike completed the Canadian Pacific. In the terrible five years of its build- ing, from 1880 to 1885, he had changed from a strong, black -bearded, sturdy man to a white-haired veteran. In the year following Mr. Smith was rowarded for Ms services with knighthood in the Order of St. Mich- ael and St. George. His cousin Mr. Stephen, had already been recognized with a baronetcy, and both had been immortalized in the names of two of the greatest mountains of the Cana- dian Rockies, Mount Donald and Mount Stephen. Has Scarcely Altered. Since the completion of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, Lord Strath- cona's appearance has scarcely alter- ed. At the age of eighty-four, says a writer in The World's Work, his eyes are as clear as they were thirty years ago. His form is slightly bent with age, but he still walks with firm and. steady step. He talks freely and brightly on the topics of the day, though never committing himself on matters of state, and he always makes his visitor feel at ease from the mo- ment he begins conversation to the time when he bids him a cheery, "Good-b,z;, " It is this sense••t,f persistent kind- liness that has won for him such a host of friends. Once you have ex- perienced it you can well understand why the King and the Queen of Epg- land dispense with all formality where he is concerned -why they call him "Uncle Donald." You feel that he is "Uncle Donald" to you and to all people who come within the circle of his friendship. This characteristic sums up the man as he is to -day. A Valued Souvenir. There is one little feature which may mean much or little, but which a visitor to Lord Strathcona cannot but notice. When indoors he always wears a little brown hat of silk, daint- ily crocheted, on the top of bis head, to cover the place where the once abundant hair has disappeared. Why he wears this little cap no- body seems to know, but there must. be some reason of no ordinary r nature. for it gives him a great deal of trouble, slipping over his head when- ever he turns with a quick movement, as ho often does when engaged in a conversation which interests him. He always balances it again carefully. It may be soma gift of the olden days, some memento of a faithful In- dian friend during his long and lone- ly sojourn in the Canadian wilds, or it may be the work of his wife's hands. Certain it is that some interesting his- tory attaches to it. and that Lord Strathcona sets a high value on he little square of worked silk. Lord Strathcona sits close by his visitor, and sometimes lays his hand on your knee with a gesture of pater- nal, friendliness. At other times he will lean back with folded arms, his bright, sleep -set keen eyes twinkling with a merry light.

The leudsou nay route as one of the great channels of the world's freight traffic is a ppssibility suggest- ed A. Y. Low, the director 01 the b 11 Geological Survey of Canada, yvh o as. recently, made an expedition through that region. The success of the western Canadian wheat- fields depends, says ra streets on cheaptransportation, B a preferably by water. The further popu- lation penetrates into upper Saskat- chewan- and Alberta the longer the rail hauls and consequently the slow- er its development. All that is needed to open Hudson Bay to commercial ukes is a line of rails to carry freight, to. one of its •ports. At present the Hudson Bay Coihpany and the Revillon Fur Com- pany have ships that make its small trading ports a few times a year. On the score of distances this Hudson Bay route has much to offer. Regina, the capital of Saskatchewan and an important town on the Canadian Pacific Railway is just as near Churchill on Hudson Bay, the point proposed for a port, as it is to Fort William on Lake Superior, and a thousand miles shorter. than .the dis- tance from Regina to Montreal at 'the head of sea_ navigation on the St. Lawrence. ' The distance from Churchill to Liverpool is almost the same as that from Montreal to Liverpool. Hence there is a saving of distance of one thousand miles of rail or water car- riage in favor of this northern route. Automobiling, it is said, has quick= ened the market for furs and made the quest of them even more zealous than usual this year. The whale fish- ery also supports twoships in Hudson Bay. Flour for use of dwellers at the ports on this waterway now reaohee them from Winnipeg by way of Liver- pool, but if steel rails were thrown across the plains to Churchill, it would open a direct trade route to the world. Large areas of wood pulp and merchantable spruce would be tapped; iron ores and ee per bearing reeks have also been found in various places, besides a valuable mica mine. 4 Canada's Cool Ain't!. Esidenoe that April, 1907, has been an unusual month all over. Canada, ie shown in the report which has just been issued. Irl British Columbia gentle spring was two or three weeks behind het usual time, while in the western pro- vines the month closed with winter still doing business. In parts of the western provinces the precipitation was twice the average, but it was composed almost exclusively of tsnow. April temperatures were below aver- age all over Canada. In the western provinces the difference from average was 6 to 13 degrees; in northern On- tario it wee 7 to 11, and in southern Ontario 4 to 6 below average. 1.
