CITIZEN. Around About Us.. Parkhill: Ou Monday the two year- old sun of Mr. and Mrs. R. Jackson, met with an accident which may yet prove atal. It appears that the little one Was out in the yard, where therewas a bonfire, without the mother's kuow- ledge, and fell into the fire.

After viewing the show we must admit that it is the most wonderful thing in the optical Tine we have ever witnessed. The fact that the minutest details of motion in the most complex scenes, as for instance the bustle and stir of a great city thor- oughfare are faithfully reproduced. showing the jostling crowd, the infin ite variety of gait and manner obser- vable among the thousands :of hurry- ing Pedestrians, the moving cabs, wagons and other vehicles in endless description and variety -all this seems perfectly marvellous and bewitching to the spectator and stamps the invention as one of the greatest science and art that has yet been produced. -Mr. ;Wm.

SIR: Bicycling is bc^_aming a modern, mode of summer travel in Canada as elsewhere. That riders of bicycles have some travelling rights no one will deny. Yet grave doubts exists as to the wis- dom of the town council in allowing bicyclists to ride on the side -walks of the back streets in town. Very young children and aged infirm or deaf per- sons are ones that claim especial protec- tion, from their inability to care for, themselves Bicycle riders are usually in the prime of life and can easily for- age for themselves and should not ask for priyileges at the expense of the weaker classes, If a municipality has any moral or legal right to interfere in such questions, then its duty is to pro tect those who really need protection and let the robust and vigorous take care of themselves. If the bicyclists do not use their privilege very guardedly then the by-law will have to be repeal ed before the summer ends, The fol- lowing valuable advice to bicyclists is worthy of note, viz: When nearing an intersecting street, slow up, and have the machine under perfect control; do not -attempt to be smart on a crowded thoroughfare and ride without holding the handles or coast; do not sweep around the corners et full speed; be as careful not to run against a pedestrian as you would be to avoid a trolley car; let pedestrians have the right of way, for you can afford to pity them if they have not got a wheel and doubly so if they are incapacitated for:. riding. If cyclists in general will mint to Remember. If you wish to purify your blood you should take a medicine which cures blood diseases. The record of cures by Flood's Sarsaparilla proves that this is the best medicine for the blood ever produced. Hood's Sarsaparilla cures the most stubborn cases and it is the Medi- cine for you to take if your blood is im pure Hood's Pills are the best after-dinner pill; assist digestion, cure headache. 25 cents. saateaittt ' Sinvit-In Exeter, on April 131h, the wife of Israel Smith, of a son.
