The inanguratio t of Marconi's wire- less service acres the Atlentt0 on a commercial basis is a marvel of the century. T ;at this long promised boon of cheap communication between the continents should he an assured fact seems incomptelumsible to the n0SCWPn• tifio mind. But notwithstanding, it has arrived, and in a few weeks the tom• mercial public and newspaper editors will be receiving and sending wlrelees messages as an every day occurrence with a sang froid that would betoken habitual use of this wonderful method of communication. The net debt of0anada in 1878, when the Conservative party took office, was $140,360 000 Io 1896, when the deluge came, it was $258 487.000, or an average increase of six and a half million dollars a year. In the ten years from 1896 to 1906 the debt increase was $8,445,000, the total debt being $267,042.000 in 1906. This was a not increase in a decade of just a little more than the average in a eingle year under Conservative Govern- ment.

Ten Commandments of Hygiene. 1. Rise early, retire early, and fill your -ay with work. 2 Water and bread maintain life; pure air and sunshine aro indispensable to health, 3. Frugality and sobriety form the beat elixir of longevity. 4. Oleanliuesa prevents rust; the best cared for machiues last the longest. 5 Enough sleep repairs waste and strengthens; too much sleep softens and enfeebles 6 To be sensibly dreesed is to give freedom to one's movements and enough warmth to be protected from sadden changes of temperature. 7 A clean and cheerful house makes a happy h"tae. 8 The tulnd is refreshed and invig- orated by dietraotioni and amusements; bat abase of them leads to dissipation, and diesipa,iou to vice. 9.

Of Special Value to Many Here in Wingham, One of the most notable discoveries and one that nodoubtedly appeals more than anything else to many people here in Wingham is the combination of stom- ach remedies in the Mi•o na treatment. This prescription has worked wonders, readily take care of the food that is ear an It also increases the flow of gastric juices thus getting from the food the nourishment that is necessary for health and energy. he symptoms of indigestion are num- erous, such as distress after eating, flat- ulenceheart-burn, sick headaches, dizzi- ness and irritability. These are all dis- pelled by a few doses of Mi-o-na when the trouble is recent, but just as surely iu long standing and chronic cases if the Treatment is followed for a reasonable length of time. So positive are the good effects follow. Kidney Disease on the Increase Recent reports from the New York Board of Health show that kidney dis- ease is greatly on the increase. Bright's disease as well as the other dreadfully pa nful forms of kidney disease can al- ways be prevented and usually cured by Dr. Chase's Kidney -Liver Pills, which have a direct and combined influence on the liver and kidneys. negotietinne in Canada's behalf. The fact that Canadian ministersof the Crown entered upon the matter of thie treaty direct without interf rence from, and with the full concurrence of the the home governmeut, shon Id he the ocoaeion of gratification. Canada has under the guiding hand of the prime minister taken a prominent place among nations and the resultant benefits of this action with reepaot to France will be fern-each- ing When Sir Wilfrld Laurier said of Canada, that he would make of her a thewords hemeant just what nation, imply, and the negotiations with respect to this treaty prove that Canada has al- ready entered upon the functions of nationhood. An Editor Wanted. The Canadian Grocer, one of The MacLean Pabitehiug Co's well known news -papers, is looking for an editor Tne bast man that can be got in Canada is wanted, and in order to secure him the Company is willing to pay a salary of $2,600 at the outset and $5,000 when he has proved his worth. The Grocer is recognized as au anthlrity in the tood- stuffs and provision trades and ci-anlates very widely, not only in Canada, but also in Great Britain and the Continent The new editor will be expected to still further strengthen the paper. There should be nameroui appliiante for this position for it la undoubtedly one of the 1,iize.s in Canadian journalism Robert Kydd of near Exeter, recently sold a bashel of potatoes which consist- ed of exactly 62 of the tubera, or an average of nearly one pound each. Never So Well Since Cirlhood HOUSEHOLD HELPS. THE SPELLING BEE. [ Woman's Home Companion.] What is that yon ask me, sonny Hae a spelling -bee got honey?

Rudyard Kipling sold a book to a London publisher at a price that netted the auditor one shilling a word. The publication of this fact came under the notice of a Fleet Street humorist, who, "for the tun of the thing," wrote to the author, saying that, as wiedom seemed to be gnot,d at retail prices, he himself would like one word, for which he en- closed a shilling postal order. The reply Dame in dna course. Mr. Kipling had kept the shilling order, and politely re• turned the one signifioant word "Thanks" written on a large eheet of writing paper. Rheu atism I have found a tried and tested cure for Rheu. matism I Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is imposstble. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany -with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt -I found the last ingredient with which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic ,Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last ingredient, I successfully treated mans. many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last, ituni. formly cures all curable cases of this heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand -like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Blood. seem to dissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then. when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the slstem, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There is now no real need -no actual excuse to suffer longer with- out help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Recipe Is Easily Prepared At Small Cost, And Many People Here Now Swear By It. Mix the following by shaking well in a bottle, and take in teaspoonful doses after meal& and at bedtime: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces, A local druggiet is the au- thority that these eimple, harmless in- gredients can be obtained at nominal cost from our home druggists. The mixture is said to cleanse and strengthen the clogged and inactive Kidneys, overcoming Backache, Blad- der weakness and Urinary trouble of all kinds, if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. Those who have tried this say it pos- itively overcomes pain in the back, clears the urine of sediment and regu- lates urination, especially at night, curing even the worst forms of Bladder weakces . Every man or woman here who feels that the kidneys are, not strong or act- ing in a healthy manner should mix this prescription at home •and give it a trial, as it is said to do wonders for many persons. The Scranton (Pa) Times was first to print this remarkable prescription, in Ootober, of 1906, since when all the leading bewspapers of New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other citie s have made many annonncemente of it to their readers.

At 3.45 a tremendous sea carried the two port boats overboard, and the ship took a list to port. Seeing that the list was rapidly increasing, I or- dered the starboard boats to be got ready and the engines to be stopped. Several of the crew got round the forward starboard boat, and I told them to unhook the davit tackles and cut the lashings, as it would be im- possible to launch the boat to wind- ward. I called upon some of the men to go with me and clear the star- board lifeboat. Just before the boat was launched somebody shouted, "'fake to the water!" When the lash- ings were cut the boat dropped into the water, the ship then being on her beam ends. I scrambled on to the ship's side, and got my boots off. 41 - most immediately afterwards I was either washed over the side or the ship went down. When I came to the surface again the ship had dis- appeared. I then struck out for the lifeboat, which was at a little dis- tance, bottom up, with a sailor and fireman clinging to the keel. These assisted me to clamber up on to the keel. The chart -room was floating close by with the chief officer on it, and he threw his overcoat to the fireman. ALEX. KELLY, Wingham, Ont.

I clung to the keel of the boat for 'ibont an hour, when a heavy sea washed the carpenter and myself off. I struck out for the boat, and found her right side up, with the sailor and fireman on her. I drew myself in, and we then drifted helplessly on, the fireman and myself being sev- ere] times washed overboard. but we always managed to. get back again. Each time we got. back the fireman told me he was getting weaker. At last he became delirious, and I had to hold him. 1 -Ie died in my arms et eight a. m.

A plucky native who wrestled with • a wounded pafither and overcame the beast is the hero of a story that carne from Indian recently. It was in the Banda district that it native, hearing that a panther was in the neighhorbood and had taken refuge in a hole on the river bank. made his way thither. Looking intc the hole he fired anc1 wounded the panther in the jaw. The infuriated animal flung itself upon the native's [attendant, and the native, with the greatest bravery, rushed on the pan- ther and tried to drag it off his ser- vant. After being driven off once the panther made another rush at the native, and 'for 20 or 30 minutes the man and the beast wrestled together. Ultimately the panther was brought to the ground. and its end accom- plished by a hatchet -blow from the servant. ,The plucky native has many wounds on his arms, but none on his body, and both he and his servant are do- ing well in hospital.

At Abney Park Cemetery, London, Pie funeral took place recently of Sergt.-Major Edward Venables, of "Cumberland House," Finsbury Park, who, throughout the Crimean War was attached to the 11th Hussars. He was at Alma, Inkerman, Sebastopol, while' he rode with the glorious "Six Hundred" at Balhclava. He came out of the trying ordeal scathless, but im- mediately afterwards sustained a wound et the hands of a Russian in- fentryman to whom just previously he had given a drink of water, thus showing the "ingratitude of war. The veteran -one of the rapidly decreas- ing few of "all 'that was left of them" -was 75 years of age, and he was esteemed alike in the North of London' and by the tradesmen of the Central Meat Market, with whom he had been associated for many years. Among the ' floral tributes which covered the coffin and crowded' a special carriage was one of especial interest; its black -border- ed card contained the following words: "Edward Venables (sergeant), A Troop, Prince Albert's Own Hus- sar. From Horace Montattue (captain), with much esteem for hie good ser- vices 1859.64." • Sables Are Scarce. Extraordinary stories are being told about the increasing scarcity and value of sables, which, a London pa- per says, people are beginning to pass down as heirlooms to their descen- dents. A sable coat which two years ago would have cost $20,000 would now be valued at $30,000, art $450 is et present being asked for a single skin. The two most costly sable coats in the world are• worn by the Empress of Russia and her cousin, Queen Maud of Norway.. The ,coat in the possession of the Empress is made of the flneat sables which could be obtained in Europe and is worth about $250,000, while that which Queen Maud wore when sho went with Xing Hsakon to the famous Guildhall ban- quet, in the early part of the winter is probably Worth $100.000.
